<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><h1><strong>Past Simple</strong><strong></strong></h1>
<p>Ο Past Simple, ο Απλός Αόριστος στα Ελληνικά, είναι ο πρώτος παρελθοντικός χρόνος που θα μάθουμε.</p>
<h2><strong>Χρήση</strong><strong></strong></h2>
<p>Αυτός ο χρόνος χρησιμοποιείται:</p>
<ul>
<li>Για πράξεις που ολοκληρώθηκαν στο παρελθόν όταν υπάρχει άμεση (π.χ. χρονολογίες και χρονικά επιρρήματα) ή έμμεση (παρελθοντικά γεγονότα) αναφορά χρόνου.</li>
<li>Για συνήθειες στο παρελθόν.</li>
<li>Για διαδοχικές πράξεις στο παρελθόν, πράξεις δηλαδή που έγιναν η μία μετά την άλλη.</li>
<li>Πράξεις στο παρελθόν που ποτέ δε θα επαναληφθούν.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Σχηματισμός</strong><strong></strong></h2>
<p>Ο Past Simple είναι ιδιόμορφος σε σχέση με τον αντίστοιχο παροντικό του χρόνο˙ άλλοτε σχηματίζεται ομαλά και άλλοτε ανώμαλα. Ας δούμε και τις 2 περιπτώσεις αναλυτικά.<!--more--></p>
<h3>Ομαλός σχηματισμός</h3>
<h4>Κατάφαση</h4>
<p>Η κατάφαση σχηματίζεται βάζοντας στο ρήμα στην αρχική του μορφή (α&#8217; πρόσωπο ενικού Present Simple) και προσθέτοντας την κατάληξη <strong>-</strong><strong>ed</strong>.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>

<p>&#160;</p>
<h4>Aρνηση:</h4>
<p>Στην άρνηση χρησιμοποιούμε το βοηθητικό ρήμα <strong><em>did</em></strong> μαζί με το <strong><em>not</em></strong> κι έπειτα το ρήμα στην αρχική του μορφή του ρήματος.</p>

<p><strong>openSUSE está llegando al fin de su desarrollo</strong>. En su última RC de la versión 11.2 se han corregido los pocos bugs que quedan (y ojalá no surjan nuevos xD) y se han actualizado algunos paquetes como el Firefox o el propio Kernel. Los cambios más importantes desde la RC1 son:</p>
<ul>
<li>Linux kernel 2.6.31.5</li>
<li>SeaMonkey 2.0</li>
<li>Firefox 3.5.4</li>
<li>Samba 3.4.2</li>
<li>xorg-x11-server 1.6.5</li>
</ul>
<p>Ahora sólo queda esperar porque en breve podremos probar la nueva y esperada versión de OpenSUSE.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Olá pessoal, Segue abaixo a tradução do anúncio do openSUSE 11.2 RC2: É isto pessoal! Estamos quase ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Olá pessoal,</p>
<p>Segue abaixo a tradução do anúncio do openSUSE 11.2 RC2:</p>
<p>É isto pessoal! Estamos quase lá para o openSUSE 11.2. Hora de baixar o último &#8216;release candidate&#8217; do 11.2 e descobrir os últimos bugs escondidos para deixar o camaleão pronto para o lançamento final. Este lançamento inclui o kernel, Samba e Firefox atualizados e mais.</p>
<p>Este lançamento deve estar quase pronto para a marca &#8216;gold master&#8217;, mas ainda temos há para descobrir bugs. Este lançamento não deve ser implantado em sistemas em produção, mas deve estar pronto para os primeiros usuários  e contribuidores que querem ajudar nos testes e desenvolvimento do 11.2.</p>
<p><strong>Alterações desde o openSUSE 11.2 RC 1</strong></p>
<p>O Release Candidate 2 inclui poucos pacotes novos e muitos dos bugs mais irritantes do RC 1 foram corrigidos para este lançamento. Os novos pacotes incluem:</p>
<ul>
<li>Linux kernel 2.6.31.5</li>
<li>SeaMonkey 2.0</li>
<li>Firefox 3.5.4</li>
<li>Samba 3.4.2</li>
<li>xorg-x11-server 1.6.5</li>
</ul>
<p>Uma lista mais completa pode ser encontrada na <a href="http://en.opensuse.org/Factory/News">the wiki</a> e uma lista atualizada dos pacotes no Factory pode ser encontrada no <a href="http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=suse">DistroWatch</a>.</p>
<p>O 11.2 está ficando fantástico. Quer capturas de tela? Nós temos! Veja-as <a href="http://en.opensuse.org/Screenshots/11.2_Milestones">aqui</a> e/ou adicione-as você mesmo.</p>
<p><strong>Bugs mais irritantes</strong></p>
<p>Como este é um &#8216;release candidate&#8217;, ainda estamos procurando por bugs mais críticos. No entanto, neste ponto do ciclo estamos quase prontos para chamar o 11.2 RC 2 como pronto para produção. Não conhecemos nenhum bug que valha a pena ser mencionado, no entanto as imagens ISO para instalação via Internet irão chamar o repositório Factory. A  URL dos repositórios precisa ser alterada de /factory/repo/oss para /factory-snapshot/repo/oss manualmente.</p>
<p>Você pode encontrar mais sobre como adicionar repositórios na <a href="http://en.opensuse.org/Add_Package_Repositories_to_YaST">wiki do openSUSE</a>.</p>
<p>Se qualquer novo bug crítico aparecer, ele será listado na <a href="http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs_11.2_dev">wiki do openSUSE</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Testes! testes! testes!</strong></p>
<p>Como você pode ver, o 11.2 RC 1 tem alguns bugs incômodos, mas podem existir outros que ainda não encontramos. Se você quer ter certeza que a versão final do 11.2 seja quase livre dos bugs incômodos, precisamos de sua ajuda para encontrar, relatar e corrigir estes bugs escondidos.</p>
<p>Para aprender mais sobre os testes no, visite as páginas de <a href="http://en.opensuse.org/Testing/">Testes</a> na wiki do openSUSE. Para acompanhar o processo de testes e desenvolvimento, nós sugerimos que você se inscreve na lista de discussão openSUSE-Factory, e entre no canal #openSUSE-Factory na rede Freenode para discutir o desenvolvimento do openSUSE.</p>
<p><strong>Baixe o Release Candidate 2 hoje!</strong></p>
<p>O que você está esperando? Baixe o RC2 hoje! Os downloads estão disponíveis em <a href="http://software.opensuse.org/developer/pt_BR" target="_blank">software.opensuse.org/developer/</a> agora.</p>
<p>Note, se você quiser testar o LiveCD em uma máquina sem unidade de CD-ROM, você pode copiá-lo para um pendrive USB com o seguinte comando:</p>
<pre>dd if=imagem.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M</pre>
<p>Substitua “imagem.iso” com o nome da imagem ISO que você baixou e substitua “sdX” com o nome de dispositivo atual do seu pendrive USB. Seja cuidadoso! Isto irá apagar o dispositivo de destino, então tenha certeza que você tem o nome de dispositivo correto e faça um bakup de qualquer dado!</p>
<p>A versão final do 11.2 está agendada para ser lançada dia 12 de novembro de 2009. Veja o calendário detalhado na <a href="http://en.opensuse.org/Roadmap/11.2">wiki</a>.</p>
<p>Estamos na reta final. Um muito obrigado a todos os contribuidores que participaram no ciclo do 11.2. Sem vocês não teríamos o openSUSE.</p>

<p>You guys might remember a little while ago we made a post on this new tool that can jailbreak your iDevice really fast and simply. Well some of you might of had problems, the main problems where iPhone 3G Users couldn’t get it to run the right way, there were some fixes but they might not have been advertised enough. And another problem was if you picked to install Icy with blackra1n then it could mess up yo jailbreak by overwriting a important file. Well with this new update these problems should be fixed. This new update can be used on both Mac and Windows. Thanks to <a href="http://twitter.com/geohot">GeoHot</a> for all the hard work =)</p>

<description><![CDATA[Mandriva a publié sa dernière version de développement de Mandriva Linux 2010. Elle est basée sur Li]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Mandriva a publié sa dernière version de développement de Mandriva Linux 2010. Elle est basée sur Linux 2.6.31. Mandriva 2010 RC2 offre comme nouveauté un choix de bureau entre KDE 4.3.2 et GNOME 2.28, ainsi que les pilotes Intel chipset Poulsbo, les comptes Guest, et le bureau de collaboration Nepomuk.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mandriva a publié la version finale de Mandriva Linux Spring 2009, en avril, offrant KDE 4.2.2 comme bureau par défaut, ainsi qu&#8217;un boot jusqu&#8217;à 25 pour cent plus rapide, selon la société française de logiciels.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Parmi les autres nouvelles fonctions, un meilleur support pour les netbooks, ainsi qu&#8217;une mise à niveau de la gestion des réseaux et des outils de sécurité.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La dernière Mandriva Linux 2010 Release RC2 sera suivie le 3 Novembre avec la sortie finale, qui ajoutera le graphisme final, dit Mandriva. La version actuelle est maintenant disponible en téléchargement gratuit en 32 et 64 bit, ainsi que la version Mandriva &#8220;One&#8221; disponible pour KDE ou GNOME.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Selon Mandriva, l&#8217;édition 2010 RC2 est la première distribution de la communauté  à offrir la plateforme Moblin v2.0 qui vise les netbooks utilisant l&#8217;Intel Atom. (Le mois dernier, avec la sortie finale de Moblin v2.0, Dell a commencé à offrir ses Mini 10v NetBook avec la version de développpement de la Moblin d&#8217;Ubuntu). Il y a un an, Mandriva a publié une version Linux appelée Mandriva Mini, qui a été conçu pour fonctionner sur les netbooks.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mandriva 2010 offre aussi KDE 4.3.2, la dernière version du bureau KDE 4.3 publié en août. Le bureau comprend Amarok 2.2 en version finale, une nouvelle version du lecteur open source de musique qui peut lire les CD.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nepomuk fournit un poste de travail sémantique qui permet d&#8217;enrichir et inter connecter les données de différentes applications de bureau, en utilisant les méta données sémantiques.   Nepomuk permet aux utilisateurs de KDE de marquer, d&#8217;évaluer, et de commenter les fichiers via le gestionnaire de fichiers KDE, Dolphin.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Comme d&#8217;habitude l&#8217;alternative à KDE, Mandriva offre GNOME 2.28, une nouvelle version du bureau GNOME, qui est récemment apparue dans openSUSE 11.2, entre autres. La nouvelle version contient, la dernière version de GTK +.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Les autres nouvelles fonctionnalités majeures dans Mandriva 2010 sont :</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">* Linux 2.6.31 &#8211; La nouvelle version du noyau 2.6.31 ajoute le support pour l&#8217;USB 3.0, parmi beaucoup d&#8217;autres améliorations.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">* XFCE 4.6.1 &#8211; La dernière version du bureau léger XFCE apporte l&#8217;application de la norme de menu freedesktop.org, un nouveau système de configuration, et un mélangeur audio.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">* Plymouth bootsplash &#8211; L&#8217;écran de démarrage de technologie Plymouth, qui prévoit une animation de démarrage graphique au cours de la phase d&#8217;amorçage, est désormais totalement intégrée, et remplace Splashy, qui a été supprimée.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">* Les comptes utilisateur &#8211; Des comptes invités, basés sur le paquet xguest, peuvent maintenant être mis en place pour offrir un accès temporaire sûr au système via gdm ou kdm.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">* Les pilotes Poulsbo &#8211; Ils sont entièrement supportés nativement quand vous utilisez les éditions One. Le matériel sera automatiquement détecté et configuré au travers de XFdrake. Du fait que celui-ci requiert des firmwares propriétaires, il ne peut être inclu dans les éditions Free. Les tests sont bienvenus pour améliorer son intégration.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">* Serveur X.org 1.6.3 &#8211; La nouvelle version majeure du serveur X.org est fournie, avec des corrections de bugs.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">* Urpmi et drakxtools &#8211; Urpmi a été amélioré pour aider à résoudre les dépendances complexes, et beaucoup de corrections ont été appliquées à drakxtools.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">* Outil de partitionnement &#8211; Les installateurs ont été redessinés avec un accent sur la facilité d&#8217;utilisation, et un ajout de représentations graphiques.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">* Assistant firsttime &#8211; L&#8217;assistant utilise maintenant WebKit au lieu de Firefox, ce qui rend l&#8217;intégration plus facile et plus léger.</p>
<p>* Netprofile &#8211; L&#8217;outil de gestion des profils réseau a été complètement réécrit. En l&#8217;utilisant, vous pouvez facilement créer et utiliser plusieurs profils qui dépendent du lieu où vous vous trouvez (à votre domicile, avec vos amis, au travail).</p>
<p>* Net_monitor &#8211; Cet outil de surveillance du réseau, est disponible dans Mandriva Linux. Il est destiné à remplacer l&#8217;application par défaut net_monitor du paquetage<span style="color:#808080;"> <span style="color:#333333;">drakx-net.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">* Python &#8211; Python 3 est maintenant disponible.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">* VirtualBox &#8211; VirtualBox 3.0.8 supporte désormais les machines virtuelles SMP, et offre un meilleur support de la 3D et de meilleures performances.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mandriva Linux 2010 RC2 est maintenant disponible en 32 et 64 bit.</p>

<h3>After another or at the same time?</h3>
<p>Do you want to express that the actions in the past happened one after another or at the same time?</p>

<h3>New action or already in progress?</h3>
<p>If you want to express that a new action happened in the middle of another action, you need both tenses: Simple Past the new action and Past Progressive for the action already in progress.</p>

<h3>Only mentioning or emphasising progress?</h3>
<p>Do you just want to mention that an action took place in the past (also used for short actions)? Or do you want to put emphasis on the progress, e.g. that an action was taking place at a certain time?</p>

<h3>Certain Verbs</h3>
<p>The following verbs are usually only used in Simple Past (not in the progressive form).</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>state:</strong> be, cost, fit, mean, suit</li>
</ul>
<p>Example: We <span style="text-decoration:underline;">were</span> on holiday.</p>

<description><![CDATA[The Narrative Tenses &#8211; by Viv Quarry (www.vivquarry.com) Narrative tenses are the grammatical ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p align="center"><span style="font-size:large;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Narrative Tenses &#8211; by Viv Quarry </span></strong></span><span style="font-size:small;">(www.vivquarry.com)</span></p>
<p>Narrative tenses are the grammatical structures that you use when telling a story, or talking about situations and activities which happened at a defined past time.</p>
<p>When narrating past events, <strong>DO NOT </strong>mix past and present tenses (avoid using the present perfect and present simple), as these will confuse the reader/listener about when things really happened.</p>
<p>Here are the most common narrative tenses and how they are used:<!--more--></p>
<li>1. The Simple Past Tense.</li>
<p>The past simple is used:</p>
<li>a) to express a completed action at a definite time in the past. The separate events which occur in sequence in a narrative are expressed using this tense.</li>
<p>Eg.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.vivquarry.com/wkshts/Image4.gif" alt="" width="467" height="66" /></p>
<p>I woke up (1) at half past seven yesterday, I had a shower (2) and ate some breakfast (3). I left for work (4) at quarter past eight.</p>
<p>NOTE! The past simple is the most common tense after &#8216;When?&#8217; in questions.</p>
<li>b) to express past habits.I went to school in São Paulo until my family moved to Rio.</li>
<p><strong>NOTE!</strong> Used to + verb is often used to express past <strong>habits</strong> and <strong>states</strong> that happened in the past, but do not happen now. Used to can not be used for actions which only occured once.</p>
<p>Eg. I used to work for Petrobrás. (I don&#8217;t work for them now)</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t use to like living in Ipanema. (I do like it now)</p>
<p>Where did you use to go for lunch? (You don&#8217;t go there now)</p>
<p>Would (+ adverb of frequency) + verb can be used to express past habits which do not happen now.</p>
<p>Eg. My grandfather would always read the newspaper at breakfast time. (He doesn&#8217;t do it now)</p>
<p>Using &#8216;would&#8217; instead of &#8216;used to&#8217; often gives an idea of nostalgia. However, if the adverb of frequency is stressed, it can give the idea that the habit was annoying.</p>
<p>Eg. My dog would <span style="font-size:medium;"><strong>never</strong></span> do what I wanted it to do!</p>
<p><strong>NOTE!</strong> &#8216;WOULD&#8217; CAN NOT BE USED FOR PAST STATES!</p>
<p>Eg. <span><em>I would live in São Paulo.</em></span> IS WRONG!</p>
<li>2. The Past Continuous Tense.As with all continuous tenses, the past continuous gives the idea of activity and duration.
<p>The past continuous is used:</p>
<p>a) To describe the situation in which the events of the narrative occurred.</p>
<p>Eg.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.vivquarry.com/wkshts/Image5.gif" alt="" width="473" height="89" /></p>
<p>When I saw her (1), she was wearing (2) a blue dress and was driving (2) a Mercedes.</p>
<p>b) to express an activity in progress at a time in the past.</p>
<p>Eg.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.vivquarry.com/wkshts/Image6.gif" alt="" width="462" height="54" /></p>
<p>What were you doing (1) when I phoned you?</p>
<p><strong>NOTE!</strong> The past continuous is the most common tense after &#8216;while&#8217; in questions and statements.</p>
<p>The past continuous also expresses the idea of:</p>
<p>An interrupted activity</p>
<p>Eg. She was cooking dinner when the door bell rang. (She cooked dinner = she finished it)</p>
<p>An unfinished activity</p>
<p>Eg. I was reading a book yesterday. (I read a book&#8230; = I finished reading the whole book)</p>
<p>A repeated action</p>
<p>Eg. They were shooting at the enemy. (They shot&#8230;. = They fired the gun one time only)</p>
<p>A temporary situation</p>
<p>Eg. He was standing on the corner waiting for a bus. (It stood on the corner. = Permanent situation)</p>
<p>NOTE! The past continuous can also be used as &#8216;future in the past&#8217;. This will be explained later.</p>
<p>3. The Past Perfect Simple Tense.</p>
<p>The past perfect simple is used</p>
<p>a) to show that an action or situation happened BEFORE the events in the narrative described in the simple past.</p>
<p>Eg.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.vivquarry.com/wkshts/Image7.gif" alt="" width="471" height="58" /></p>
</li>
<p>I woke up (1) at half past seven yesterday. I had slept very badly (2) because there had been a power cut (3) during the night.</p>
<p>NOTE! It is bad style to use too many verbs in the past perfect . As soon as it is clear that the events happened before the time that the narrative is set, use the simple past.</p>
<p>Eg. I woke up at half past seven yesterday. I had slept very badly because there&#8217;d been a power cut during the night. When the electricity went off, I was watching the Brazilian national team playing football against the USA.</p>
<p>NOTE! If the subject of two verbs is the same, you don&#8217;t have to repeat the &#8216;had&#8217; auxiliary.</p>
<p>Eg. When I arrived, he&#8217;d finished his dinner and left the room.</p>
<li>b) Making a narrative more interesting to read.</li>
<p>It is generally seen as bad literary style to have too many verbs in the same tense. In English it is always best to avoid repetition where possible.</p>
<p>Look again at the example used to illustrate the simple past tense.</p>
<p>This same sentence could be improved for dramatic effect by using the past perfect simple.</p>
<p>Eg. I woke up (1) at half past seven yesterday. When I had had a shower (2) and eaten some breakfast (3), I left for work (4).</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">CONJUNCTIONS (After, As soon as, Before, By the time, Once, till, When, Unless, Until)</span></p>
<p>With these conjunctions of time, the past perfect shows that the <strong>first action MUST BE COMPLETED before the second action begins</strong>, otherwise the past simple is used.</p>
<p>Eg. <strong>After</strong>&#8230;.she finished, they left /<strong> </strong>she had finished, they left. (She had to finish first)</p>
<p><strong>As soon as</strong>&#8230;we arrived she said &#8220;hello&#8221;. / I had done it, I sent it to her. (I had to do it first)</p>
<p>She wouldn&#8217;t sign the contract <strong>before</strong>&#8230;. seeing it / she had seen it. (She had to see it first)</p>
<p>They wouldn&#8217;t go <strong>unless</strong>&#8230;.she came with them / they had seen it was safe.</p>
<p>(It was important to finish checking that it was safe before going)</p>
<p>For more information on conjunctions of time, see the worksheet called: When do I use the perfect tenses?.</p>
<li>4. The Past Perfect Continuous Tense.a) The past perfect continuous is used for longer activities that were happening continuously up until a specified time in the past.
<p>Eg.</li>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.vivquarry.com/wkshts/Image8.gif" alt="" width="472" height="68" /></p>
<p>He looked very tired (1), he had been working very hard (2) over the past three weeks.</p>
<p>As with the past continuous, the past perfect continuous can show the following:</p>
<p>Unfinished activity</p>
<p>Eg. He hadn&#8217;t heard the telephone ring because he&#8217;d been reading.</p>
<p>Repeated activity</p>
<p>Eg. I was tired. I&#8217;d been cutting wood all day.</p>
<p>With the past perfect simple, the focus is on the completed activity.</p>
<p>Eg. He&#8217;d read three reports that morning.</p>
<p>He&#8217;d cut a huge pile of wood.</p>
<p><a href="http://vivquarry.com/wkshts/narrex1.html">Back to narrative tenses ex. 1</a></p>
<li>5. The Future in the Past.</li>
<p>The future in the past is used to look into the future from a point of time in the past. However, this &#8220;future&#8221; event still occurred at a time before the present time.</p>
<p>Eg.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.vivquarry.com/wkshts/Image9.gif" alt="" width="476" height="67" /></p>
<p>I woke up (1) at half past seven yesterday. I was meeting my boss (2) at ten o&#8217;clock that morning, so I wouldn&#8217;t be able to have lunch (3) with Susan. I wasn&#8217;t going to get home (4) again until late that night.</p>
<p>Depending on the situation, the following tenses are used in the future in the past:</p>
<p>The past simple (a timetabled event) The past continuous (an arrangement)</p>
<p>Would (a prediction) Was going to (a plan)</p>
<p>Would be doing (an action at a specific time) Would have done (action completed before</p>
<p>a specified time)</p>
<p>For more information on these different situations, see the worksheet on the future tenses.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="margin:0 0 15px;padding:0;">(Taken from Nicholas @ <a href="http://strictly4myteacherz.wordpress.com/about/">http://strictly4myteacherz.wordpress.com</a>)</p>
<p style="margin:0 0 15px;padding:0;">In a <a style="color:#0060ff;text-decoration:underline;margin:0;padding:0;" href="http://strictly4myteacherz.wordpress.com/2008/12/05/titanic-past-continuous-lesson-kids/">previous post concerning using the story of the Titanic to teach past continuous</a>, I mentioned an activity at the end that used cards and pictures of little stickmen doing various activities and actions and things.</p>
<p style="margin:0 0 15px;padding:0;">The idea was to provide visual input for students to develop sentences and mini-stories and in so doing so practice the past continuous / past simple distinction: by giving them one hand pictures showing actions which can clearly be done over a period of time, and on the other hand actions or events that clearly happen in an instantaneous fashion, students will practice and to some degree begin to internalize the distinction.<!--more--></p>
<p style="margin:0 0 15px;padding:0;">And since, in some other classes, I’ve been having to work at this distinction with various groups of various ages, I’ve made some pictures for this very purpose.  I thought I would be a good idea to share so, here goes:</p>
<p style="margin:0 0 15px;padding:0;"><a style="color:#df0000;text-decoration:underline;margin:0;padding:0;" href="http://strictly4myteacherz.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/pastcontinuouspictures2.jpg"><img style="display:block;border:0 initial initial;margin:0 auto;padding:0;" title="pastcontinuouspictures2" src="http://strictly4myteacherz.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/pastcontinuouspictures2.jpg?w=500&#038;h=570#38;h=570" alt="pastcontinuouspictures2" width="500" height="570" /></a></p>
<p style="margin:0 0 15px;padding:0;">So, just click on the pictures, copy ‘em, save ‘em, adjust the size or contrast or whatever if need be, print ‘em out, cut ‘em up, and have at it:</p>
<p style="margin:0 0 15px;padding:0;">Separate them into two piles and mix them up.  Ss take one from each pile and have to make a sentence using a past continuous verb and a past simple verb. There are no right or wrong combinations: some may be more logical than others, others may require a bit more imagination to connect the two.</p>
<p style="margin:0 0 15px;padding:0;">Then, either the teacher or a partner can ask questions to get more details from them.  “Why did the ghost appear?” or “Who called her?” or “What did they do with the money?”  (In fact, you can do this in such a way during the demonstration that you show the use of past perfect, if your students are up to that, e.g. “The ghost appeared because the man had stolen money from the ghost’s house” etc., etc.)</p>
<p style="margin:0 0 15px;padding:0;">Okay, gotta run.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://monkeybuttparts.com/Images/EVS_RC2.jpg"><img style="float:right;cursor:pointer;width:297px;height:297px;margin:0 0 10px 10px;" src="http://monkeybuttparts.com/Images/EVS_RC2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>If you are looking into getting a neck roll/collar this might help you decide on which one to buy. Even if you aren&#8217;t in the market for one I suggest you keep reading because it could save a neck or collar bone, and that is the most common injury I hear about in motocross. I have been wearing the EVS RC2 Race Collar for the past season, and I will say that I&#8217;m glad that I bought it. First of all, I like the fitment and I hardly ever notice it when I ride or race; hardly any restriction. I make sure I wear it every time I ride a dirt bike because it doesn&#8217;t bother me. The RC2 is great protection when you get in an crash and slam your head against your chest or shoulders. I fortunately haven&#8217;t had any bad accidents with it, but I did flat land a jump and my chin would have hit my chest but the race collar prevented  that from happening. I ended up having a bruise there, but who knows what it could have been if I wasn&#8217;t wearing the collar. All in all I think it should be a necessity for all riders that go somewhat fast because you honestly don&#8217;t know what will happen. It&#8217;s cheap enough that it will easily pay for itself and probably one hundred more after your first big crash that could break your collar bone. Go buy one now if you don&#8217;t have a neck collar already. Remember to have fun and stay safe. Thanks for viewing.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-325" title="slackware-0.2" src="http://theeviltux.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/slackware-0-2.png?w=300" alt="slackware-0.2" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;">SÃO PAULO &#8211; Patrick Volkerding, criador da distribuição Linux conhecida como Slackware, anunciou a segunda versão &#8220;release candidate&#8221; (RC) de seu sistema operacional.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;">O </span><a href="http://info.abril.com.br/downloads/linux/slackware-13-0-rc2" target="blank"><span style="font-size:small;">Slackaware 13.0</span></a><span style="font-size:small;"> traz atualizações para diversos pacotes básicos, como o kernel 2.6.29.6, X.Org Server 1.6.3 e o k Desktop Enviroment 4.2.4.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;">Volkerking afirmou que ainda faltam alguns detalhes para que a versão final chegue aos usuários. &#8220;Vamos chamar esses novos updates de RC2. Ainda é necessário lidar com alguns arquivos de documentação e vários itens em nossa lista de prioridades. O X parece estar bem mais estável e logo poderemos apresentar uma versão para o lançamento. Assim poderemos voltar logo ao território do desenvolvimento&#8221;, disse.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;">Entre as novidades da versão, o usuário vai encontrar a versão atualizada do Mozilla Firefox (3.5.2), drivers melhorados para placas gráficas da Intel e a última versão do kit de desenvolvimento da plataforma Java lançada no começo da semana. Além disso, o MSQL ganhou um update para a versão 5.0.84 e ícones do Xfce que não estavam no RC1 foram adicionados.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;">Os desenvolvedores publicaram todos os detalhes das alterações no </span><a href="http://www.slackware.com/changelog/current.php?cpu=i386" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:small;">changelog</span></a><span style="font-size:small;"> do processo. &#8220;Gostaria de agradecer a todos que ajudaram no projeto. Espero que vocês gostem do novo lançamento e percebam que ele não é apenas 0.1 melhor do que a versão 12.0&#8243;, concluiu Volkerding.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Dün yaptığım güncellemeden sonra Pardus 2009 RC2 açılmadı. Güvenli modda açılmasına rağmen ön tanımlı olarak açılmıyordu. Sorunun xorg.conf dosyasından olduğu bell idi. Zaten sabah xorg güncellemesi yapmıştım. Hemen</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">/etc/X11/xorg.conf</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">dosyasını düzenlemeye çalıştım. Lakin sonuç hüsran oldu. Ama yılmadım, yıkılmadım. Özgürlük için savaşmak gerekliydi. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   güvenli modda giriş yapıp. Paket yöneticisinden xorg intel sürücüsünü kaldırdım. Yeniden yükledim.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">/etc/X11/xorg.conf</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">dosyasınıda sildim.  Sonuç mükemmel. Özgürlüğe kavuşmak bir başka. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Eğer sizde xorg güncellemesinden sonra böyle bir sorun yaşarsanız deneyebilirsiniz.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a rel="attachment wp-att-286" href="http://postin27.wordpress.com/2009/07/10/manfrotto-804rc2-head/manfrotto_804_rc_2/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-286" title="Manfrotto 804 RC 2" src="http://postin27.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/manfrotto_804_rc_2.jpg" alt="Manfrotto 804 RC 2" width="570" height="379" /></a></p>
<p>As you know i recently brought the 055xb tripod, and said i would update with the head, i decided on the 804rc2, as it has exactly the features i was looking for, three way tilt and pan head, with a built in spirit level allowing for level shots every time. Also with short arms so that its quick and easy to use not reaching out to twist a handle. the build quality is outstanding almost feeling like one solid piece.</p>
<p>Again i put it through it&#8217;s paces making sure it was the right one for me, along with the legs it makes a very strong reliable tripod, when i screwed it altogether and tried it out i couldn&#8217;t believe it, before on my other tripod it struggled at times to hold my camera in positions, baring in mind  it has done a lot for me also it was my first one so&#8230;..  but now with the two combined (head and legs) it feels so safe holding my camera not worrying if something will break etc.</p>
<p>silly i know but i decided to give it shake to see if anything rattles.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s build like  a brick **** house,      so 10/10 for the total outcome of my new tripod to work along side, very happy and hope other enjoy using either item.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Debido a las limitaciones que trae hacer un blog de la misma página WordPress.com, decidí conseguir un server aparte y montar el blog yo mismo, ya que como sabrán están limitados con los templates (temas visuales), ademas que tampoco se puede tocar muchos archivos mas que los de la hoja de estilos. Siendo sinceros, directamente no se puede hacer nada.</p>
<p>Hemos renovado totalmente la estética del sitio, y estamos con mas ganas que nunca para traerles novedades. Añadimos tambien dominio a nuestra página: a partir de ahora se podra acceder por <a href="http://www.tecnofiles.com.ar" target="_blank">www.tecnofiles.com.ar</a>.</p>
<p>Tan solo esperamos que la gente que nos supo seguir en WordPress.com tambien nos acompañe en este nuevo lugar <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Desde ya, los esperamos a todos. Saludos!</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Un nuevo lanzamiento de  Mozilla Firefox apareció en el sitio ftp en  el directorio sólo en libertad un día después del lanzamiento de Firefox  3.5 RC1. El nuevo lanzamiento de Firefox está siendo distribuido a  todos los sitios web espejos de Mozilla antes de que se ponga a  disposición del público. El navegador puede ser descargado directamente  desde el sitio web de Mozilla Firefox o en el uso de la opción de  actualización automática.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><!--more--></p>
<p>No hay noticias aún sobre los cambios que se han añadido a Firefox  3.5 RC2 como las notas de la versión no se han actualizado aún. Prudentemente Mozilla alienta a los usuarios para esperar el anuncio oficial antes de  empezar la descarga, instalación y uso de Firefox 3.5 Release Candidate  2. Todos los demás si quieren pueden darle una oportunidad ahora.</p>
