Free Internet Radio

I personally don't use this site because I am Deaf but I people have told me that it's a good website so I thought I'd pass it along. It is an internet radio site. From what I understand you can search for a specific song/artist and the radio will play your request and then play songs that are similar to what you asked for. You have to create an account but it is free to do. Once you have an account then you can save radio stations and you can access them from any computer.

A-Z Health Conditions

This is a site I stumbled upon while I was in search of some explanations about some illnesses and conditions affecting me and my family. This is a good resource for kids and teens to find out about different illnesses, conditions, and disabilities. It is put on by the Great Ormand Street Hospital in London. New conditions are added regularly. If the condition your in search for is not there they have a place where you can request for the condition to be posted. I am waiting for Goldenhar Syndrome to be posted.  Besides the list of conditions there is also healthy eating tips, first aid tips, real stories, and a dear doc section. Hope you find what you are looking for!  Enjoy!

Project C3

Project C3 is a very full and informative site. This site is packed with a lot of resources for teens, families, employers, and professionals. This website has so much included in it that I haven't seen it all. I am impressed by what I have seen so far. The goal of Project C3 is to improve transition outcomes for youth through facilitated collaboration, resource mapping, Communities of Practice, training, and advocacy. There are job searches, a list of things happening in the community, information on health issues, resources to help aid families, resources for people with disabilities, and so much more. This is a great resource for anyone.  There seems to be something for everyone. I have been impressed by this and I think you will be too.

Bibliography Composer

The part I hate most about writing papers is referencing my sources and compiling a "correct" bibliography page. It seems like each teacher wants the bibliography page done differently like APA v. MPA. I can never keep them straight. In my quest to make this task more bearable I found a website called easybib. This is an amazing site that basically does the bibliography for you. You just enter the information like title, author, publication date, etc..... and this site will put to information in the correct order. Next time you have to write a paper for class, work, or any other activity, try this out. It saves a lot of time.

Update: You now need to create an account to use the services on easybib.  Also, now only MPA style is free.  They have Chicago and APA but they have a cost to use.

College Course Schedulizer

I found this great tool for college students. I have found that signing up for college classes are a hassle. It is so hard to find classes that I want or need to take that fit in with every other class I want to take. When you go to this website you enter in your school and then you will find a list of courses that are open at your college. You choose any courses that you are interested in and the schedulizer gives you all the possible combinations of classes. Sometimes the classes you want to take just won't work out that semester. The schedulizer helps with the course sign up process and makes it faster. If you want to save your results you jus have to fill out a short form with things like your name, school email, a password...  Hopefully signing up for courses won't be such a headache now...

Watch CSI Free

This is a nice website if you enjoy watching CSI, CSI Miami, or CSI NY. At the moment the site is adding episodes. As of right now there is no episodes up for CSI Miami or CSI NY. There used to be a chat box for other viewers to connect but that has been removed due to abuse. The CSI shows are still there and there is no interruption during the show. So, if you are a CSI fanatic go ahead and check it out.

Hello!

Whatever the case may be I hope you can benefit from this blog...
