Talk of the Town Review
Talk of the Town Overview
The show American Megastar is the hottest thing on television but its associate producer, Mandalay Florentino, is worried. She's just arrived in the tiny town of Daily, Texas, to arrange a surprise "reunion concert" for hometown finalist Amber Amberson. Only it turns out everyone in town seems to know the secret. And paparazzi are arriving. Word from Hollywood is that Amber has disappeared with a "bad boy" actor. Can anything go right in this tumbleweed town? Imagene Doll loves her town of Daily, Texas, but things are lonely without her beloved husband. Life seems dull. At least until that fancy-dressed woman pulls into town, looking terrified and glamorous all at once. Soon life's not the least bit boring as Imagene and the rest of Daily find themselves at the center of a media maelstrom--with a young girl's future on the line.

Where to Find Quality Free Tattoo Patterns
There are tons of free tattoo patterns on the Internet and lining the walls of tattoo parlors around the country. That doesn't mean these are the best tattoo designs out there, though.
When you know where to find quality free tattoo patterns, you can get a better selection to choose from and save money in the process.
Online galleries
Sure, if you just do a quick search for "free tattoo patterns," you're just going to come up with a bunch of boring, out-dated designs. The real trick to finding the good free tattoo designs online is to go to the sites dedicated to tattoo art. These are often run by tattoo artists or dedicated fans of tattooing who've invested a lot of time browsing the web to find the best of the best. They point the way to free tattoo galleries where you can print out as many quality designs as you like at no cost.
Tattoo parlor catalogs
The designs on the walls of tattoo parlors tend to be the most colorful, eye-catching designs that are popular at the moment. The problem is not everybody wants a big gaudy tattoo that will be out of date in three months. Instead of just browsing the walls, ask to see the catalogue of flash. These designs are still not totally unique, but you'll be able to find a good variety.
Books and magazines
Have you checked if your local library carries books of free tattoo patterns? If they don't they can order some for you. Consider titles like Great Book of Tattoo Designs by Lora Irish or 500 Tattoo Designs by Henry Ferguson. While you're there, look in the magazine rack for publications like Tattoo and Skin & Ink. If this is your first tattoo, you also might want to check out an overall guide like Terisa Green's Ink: The Not-Just-Skin-Deep Guide to Getting a Tattoo. This can help you avoid some typical mistakes people make when choosing patterns.
Art
Just about any kind of visual art can be made into a tattoo pattern by a talented tattoo artist. Pop and abstract art work particularly well. Remember, though, images that best translate into tattoos are bold designs without a lot of detail. Tribal art is also hugely popular for tattoos. While many tribes among the Celts, Maori, and others used tattoos, every nation created art in some form. Why investigate the types of art your own ancestors created and see if you find anything use can use as a tattoo pattern.
Take a little time to look around and you'll find plenty of sources of quality free tattoo patterns. Start of at the online galleries you can browse without leaving home. If you don't find anything you like that way, head down to your local tattoo parlor or book store to flip through some printed collections. Remember, too, that if you find a free tattoo that's close to your ideal, a tattoo artist can usually alter it a little so you get exactly what you want.

English Language Teachers: Throw Away the Course Book and Adapt Authentic Materials
Use Authentic Materials?
If asked why they rely heavily on course books for English language teaching, among a variety of other reasons, one that emerges is the seeming unsuitability of available authentic materials. Principal reasons cited for this "unsuitability" can include:
o Unsuitable material level
o Too difficult
o Too long or short
o Use of grammar or language
o Irrelevancy of themes
o Not adapted for specific use
o Not adapted to student learning styles
While these factors are certainly present and accountable, they need not prohibit the use of authentic materials in the English language learning classroom. Let's briefly examine how authentic materials might be incorporated into an English language teaching curriculum or course of study.
Availability of Authentic Materials
Authentic, that is, materials produced primarily for the use of native speakers of the target language, are easily available from a number of sources for most of the world. Some more common sources include:
o Books
o Magazines
o Newspapers
o TV
o Radio
o Internet
o Videos
o audiocassettes
o Course books
o CDs
o libraries
Most of these sources are readily available even in remote or poor regions of the world. In more highly "developed" regions, they may all be potential sources of materials for the English language learning classroom.
Adapting Authentic Materials
Successfully utilizing a continuing series of authentic materials in your English language learning classroom is simply a matter of adapting those materials to suit the needs of your language learners. Some keys to successful adaptation of authentic materials include:
o converting them into workshop activities
o adjusting the length of the materials
o simplifying or explaining key language elements
o converting authentic materials into a variety of exercise types
Learners benefit from listening materials spoken at "normal" conversational speed vs. English language learner directed listening materials which have been "altered" or "slowed" to enable "improved comprehension". All well and good, but if the learners ever need to apply that learning and listening practice in a real-life situation - they're lost. Why? Because - no - body - talks - like - this - in - real -life - in - any - language. (gasp!)
Authentic language videos, CDs, newscasts and radio programs can provide invaluable insight into current events and cultural aspects of English-speaking countries for language teachers and learners in other parts of the world. A benefit of recorded material is the ability to be able to rewind and repeat it as many times as necessary in order to effect increased levels of listening comprehension. The impact of the imagery provided in these clips is incalculable. Course books which are written and marketed for "use in all the world", simply cannot hold up to this level of cultural knowledge and impact.
So even if you can't "throw away your course book", do realistically consider adapting more authentic materials for use in your English language learning classroom. You'll ultimately be glad you did.
