Carleton Childcare – Nursery and Pre-School Parents Survey Results
As always we had a good response from all parents who completed the survey, the answers are below will additional comments at the end.
These are comments taken directly from parent's questionnaires, although names have been omitted to protect confidentiality.
Please tell us about anything we do well –
Lots of variety at preschool -trips to the library, music people outdoor and indoor play, recycling and Chinese New Year.
You give encouragement to each child as an individual, promoting good behaviour which brings out the best in children.
Friendly warm atmosphere with appropriate staff.
Very caring and flexible to suit your needs.
The planning for each child.
Health school dinners.
Learning is based on children's own interests.
All staff are lovely and helpful.
We looked at a lot of childcare places to begin with but Carleton childcare felt right from the moment we walked in the door, so we think you do everything well.
The starter sessions were fantastic in letting my son settle in and get to know the staff and surroundings.
There are a great variety of activities offered over the course of a week. We love the outdoor area too.
Very welcoming and nurturing.
Is there anything you feel we could improve on? –
I like the themed work home , but would like more to take home.
I find it hard when my child cries but the staff help.
Update displays more regularly.
Update newsletters and photos on the website.
Lunch from school is good but adds cost.
Are there any other comments you would like to add?
I love the set up and care you provide.
Very happy and pleased we have recommended it to many.
Great setting and lovely staff – thank you
Carleton Childcare is a lovely, friendly safe environment for our children – well done.
I would recommend Carleton Childcare as it has a warm and friendly environment and encourages learning in an accessible way.
My daughter loves coming to Preschool.
Everything is great
A few words from Sarah (owner) Thank you again for a great response to our questionnaire, I am thrilled at all the wonderful comments and kind words about our little setting. All of the comments are gratefully appreciated we always welcome the positives but are also genuinely interested in hearing where you think we can do better.
In response to the need for improvement, we will address these with the individual; however I would like to state that we have addressed all of the comments such as opening hours and we are looking at this for the future.
The website has been updated more regularly and you can see pictures in the password protected area with a password, just ask at the office.
Some children are reluctant to access the art and workshop areas but the key person tracks all children's learning to ensure that they all have a go.
The birthday board is updated when a child's birthday happens and they add their name to the cakes.
Additional comments
The different areas you provide are very good
My daughter always has plenty to do
I give you 10/10 for the things you do
Would like more sports on the field – we have done a lot of sports on the field this year especially with the Olympics starting soon, maybe we have not communicated this effectively. We now have a daily activity board noting 'what we have been doing today' so you will be fully aware of all activities
More themed and role play days – we have several themed days in the setting such as world book day, we will ensure that all children take part in these activities.
Help with learning how to out on coats and shoes – we encourage self-care and practice this regularly leading up to starting school as it is a skill they need for PE.
More writing – we have a writing area and also many opportunities to make marks around the setting this is achieved in a number of ways such as mark making in the sand. If you want us to concentrate on a particular skill with your child please speak to your keyworker who will help set specific activities to enhance an area.

All Creatures Great and Small Gosling Cuteness Overload
When a pair of fluffy little abandoned goslings come along, one can't help but stop all activity and take in all their cuteness. These two puffballs were found wandering between parking lot traffic at a local WAWA by our daughter. Of course she brought them home for us to see before taking them to a nearby wildlife refuge.
Be sure to scroll down to the photos of these cuties in the grass. The pics are blurry because every time they were set down, they made a beeline straight to our daughter, reminiscent of the movie, Fly Away Home.
All Things Bright and Beautiful
Cecil F. Alexander, Hymns for Little Children, 1848
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.
Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.
The rich man in his castle,
The poor man at his gate,
He made them, high or lowly,
And ordered their estate.
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.
The purple headed mountains,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning
That brightens up the sky.
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.
The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.
The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water,
To gather every day.
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.
He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.

The Will of God
The Will of God
The will of God will never take you
Where the grace of God cannot keep you,
Where the arms of God cannot support you,
Where the riches of God cannot supply your needs,
The will of God will never take you
Where the spirit of God cannot work through you,
Where the wisdom of God cannot teach you,
Where the army of God cannot protect you,
Where the hands of God cannot mold you.
The will of God will never take you,
Where the love of God cannot enfold you,
Where the mercies of God cannot sustain you,
Where the peace of God cannot calm your fears,
Where the authority of God cannot not overrule for you.
The will of God will never take you,
Where the comfort of God cannot dry your tears,
Where the Word of God cannot feed you,
Where the miracles of God cannot be done for you,
Where the omnipresence of God cannot find you,
Everything happens for a purpose. We may not see the wisdom of it all now,
but trust and believe in the Lord that everything is for the best.

Saturday morning, we watched grandchildren while our daughter ran in a race.
The moments were filled with impish playfulness with PopPop.
This little one is at the age of constant activity with every emotion written clearly in her expressions. Who can resist those soft cheeks! Not PopPop!
and the stare-down winner is….
Pup and toddler always ready for a treat!
each child with their own unique personality and special talents
sisters ~ brothers ~ sibling love
and look at our girl…
She ran with a friend in the Philadelphia 5K Rocky Balboa Run finishing 9 mins 7 sec miles; 28:22 finish.
Having seven children must be what keeps her is such good shape!
Welcome September
By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer's best of weather
And autumn's best of cheer.
I've been reluctant to cut the hydrangea flowers because I love the view from the kitchen table.
But I also want to enjoy these pretty, chartreuse-colored flowers in my home through the year.
So, I cut the huge blooms and stood them in a large pitcher filled with water where they will remain for about a week, until they are dried.
This post from last summer, shows how I dry hydrangea blooms.
Here they fill a bowl for a vibrant centerpiece
And, a few more ideas for using the dried blossoms to create a wreath can be found here.
Our grandchildren will all be heading back to school this coming week and my thoughts turn to the anticipation of autumn and all its beauty. I love the month of September!
Hope its a good month for you!
when brother is sick
baby Jet has been sick for a bit unable to shake a fever, croupy, bronchial virus illness that sent him to the hospital for a couple of days. He is home now with meds and should start to feel better soon.
Four of his siblings came to my house so Jets mom and dad could take care of him.
I should be running around, cleaning up and getting ready for our three up-state New York grandchildren coming down on Friday to spend the week. Instead, I am sharing some glimpses and moments of our time together…
Sick little brother
hospital stay
siblings at Mom-Moms
ready for play
trip to the playground
slip down the slide
twirling and dancing
places to hide
snooze with the pup
splash in the sink
swishing those bubbles
drawing with pink
buckled in car seats
noodles to eat
bedtime stories
Incredibly sweet
library visit
more books to read
pieces in puzzles
tummies to feed
climb in the playhouse
French fries to munch
peeking from high spots
all during lunch
toys scattered about
sink full of mess
washer still running
house in distress
tickles and smooches
diapers to change
fingers need wiping
smells that are strange
snuggles at bedtime
piggies and toes
bath time all finished
soon they will doze
sleeping so sweetly
my eyes behold
blessings from heaven
worth more than gold

The First Rose Of Summer
It excites me to see the very first rose buds appear each spring knowing they will soon bust forth into beautiful blossoms with sweet fragrance. This is a hybrid tea rose called Broadway with shades of pink, yellow and peach. It has been in our garden since 2012.
Growing alongside purple spiderwort.
Pink Knockout Roses are just beginning to bloom too.
The First Rose Of Summer
'Tis the first rose of summer that opes to my view,
With its bright crimson bosom all bathed in the dew;
It bows to its green leaves with pride from its throne–
'Tis the queen of the valley, and reigneth alone.
Oh! why, lovely stranger! thus early in bloom,
Art thou here to assure us that summer is come?
The primrose and harebell appear with the spring,
But tidings of summer the young roses bring.
Thou fair gift of nature (I welcome the boon),
Was 't the lark of the morning that 'woke thee so soon?
Yet I weep, thou sweet floweret! for soon, from the sky,
The lark shall repose where thy leaves wither'd lie.
Oh! if beauty could save thee, thou ne'er wouldst decay,
But, alas! soon thou 'lt perish and wither away;
And thy kindred may blossom, and blossom as fair–
Yet I 'll mourn, lonely rosebud! when thou art not there.
Robert Gilfillan (1798-1850 / Scotland)
Cardinal in Winter
I saw a cardinal on a branch outside our powder room window. I was able to get a few photos. I wanted to add a verse or poem for my Sunday post but couldn't find something I liked. Our granddaughter, Keri Jill, told me she likes to write poetry and in a few minutes read to me the following poem.
Winter Cardinal
by Keri Jill – age 10
When a cardinal's
nose hits winter breeze
nose hits winter breeze
it shivers and
shivers and starts to freeze.
shivers and starts to freeze.
But, God gives a
blanket like shimmering gold
blanket like shimmering gold
and even in
winter, he never gets cold.
winter, he never gets cold.
Pop-Pop went to watch her play in our church Salao soccer league Saturday morning then brought her to our home for a visit and sleepover. She requested mashed potatoes and green beans for supper. I threw in BBQ chicken for good measure. Making Valentine's Day treats, jewelry making with Aunt Abbey and a movie were on the list of things to do.

Morning Sky
At this time of year, if I look out the window toward the eastern sky a few minutes after 7 o'clock am, I often see the most amazing sunrises. This photo was taken from my front porch on the 19th of this month. I am usually in the kitchen at the back of the house each morning and will notice a bright reflection from the back windows of our neighbors house. It is a reflection of a gorgeous sunrise. Grabbing my camera I run to the front of our house and stand in awe for a few minutes as the colors change right before my eyes.
The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy.
Psalm 65:8

dog days of summer with my schnauzer buddy
Dogs… man's best friend. This one is my best friend. His name is Raider and he is a miniature schnauzer. He is an important part of our family showing unconditional love, loyalty, and companionship each and every day.
He is attentive, playful and engaging. And, he knows how to chill with the best of us. Here is a peek into his life on a hot summer day.
After me and food, I think his favorite thing is a pillow. He can spot a comfy pillow and will even paw them into the perfect position. He has even been observed plopping down onto a tossed article of clothing or a single sock on the floor if there is not a pillow around.
This boy knows how to relax and get comfortable. But don't let those sleepy eyes fool you.
One little sound or movement catches his attention and he is on it. It is part of his protective personality. Nothing slips by Raider. I love my dog 🙂
If you have a sweet pup you love with all of your heart, I think you will enjoy reading the quotes below.
dog quotes
Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.
Orhan Pamuk, My Name is Red
I believe in integrity. Dogs have it. Humans are sometimes lacking it.
Cesar Millan
Dogs feel very strongly that they should always go with you in the car, in case the need should arise for them to bark violently at nothing right in your ear.
Dave Barry
It's just the most amazing thing to love a dog, isn't it? It makes our relationships with people seem as boring as a bowl of oatmeal.
John Grogan, Marley and Me: Life and Love With the World's Worst Dog
The average dog is a nicer person than the average person.
Andy Rooney
Dogs are minor angels, and I don't mean that facetiously. They love unconditionally, forgive immediately, are the truest of friends, willing to do anything that makes us happy, etcetera. If we attributed some of those qualities to a person we would say they are special. If they had ALL of them, we would call them angelic. But because it's "only" a dog, we dismiss them as sweet or funny but little more. However when you think about it, what are the things that we most like in another human being? Many times those qualities are seen in our dogs every single day– we're just so used to them that we pay no attention.
Jonathan Carroll
You can say any fool thing to a dog and the dog will just give you this look that says, 'My GOSH, you're RIGHT! I NEVER would've thought of that!
Dave Barry
Perhaps one central reason for loving dogs is that they take us away from this obsession with ourselves. When our thoughts start to go in circles, and we seem unable to break away, wondering what horrible event the future holds for us, the dog opens a window into the delight of the moment. Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, Dogs Never Lie About Love: Reflections on the Emotional World of Dogs
Dogs' lives are too short. Their only fault, really.
Agnes Sligh Turnbull
Agnes Sligh Turnbull
People leave imprints on our lives, shaping who we become in much the same way that a symbol is pressed into the page of a book to tell you who it comes from. Dogs, however, leave paw prints on our lives and our souls, which are as unique as fingerprints in every way.
Ashly Lorenzana
The greatest fear dogs know is the fear that you will not come back when you go out the door without them."
Stanley Coren
You'd help if you could, wouldn't you, boy?" I said. "It's no wonder they call you man's best friend. Faithful and loyal and true, you share in our sorrows and rejoice with us in our triumphs, the truest friend we ever have known, a better friend than we deserve. You have thrown in your lot with us, through thick and thin, on battlefield and hearthrug, refusing to leave your master even when death and destruction lie all around. Ah, noble dog, you are the furry mirror in which we see our better selves reflected, man as he could be, unstained by war or ambition, unspoilt by-

This guide will take you through the steps of removing the joystick. This will come in handy if you have a rogue joystick
Place the controller (buttons down) on a solid surface.
Remove the six 9.2mm Tri-wing Y0 screws that hold the back panel in place.
Grab the Z-button by the peg with tweezers and lift it out of the controller.
So how do you put it back in like the replacement because I have a controller I'm working a junker my Friend gave me and I'm trying to fix it the z button doesn't work here it's a pelican wireless controller it's actually not to bad bulky but not bad
Carefully unhook the cable that is looped around the peg.
Um can soneone explain the peg and cable part? I dont understand it...
I would say that the cable is somehow "hooked" to the case and you have to get the cable away from the case so that you can pull out the board
My1 -
Grab the base of the grey cover and pull it off.
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Great guide, but I'm looking to buy replacement joysticks and I can't find them anywhere. Where would I find those?
When I removed the joystick it would come off. The plastic was stuck too hard to the joystick so I accidentally broke it in half. Is there anyway to glue it back together?
@Tyler Lovejoy - That's already part of the controller.
@Joe Freedman - Try Amazon.com
@Mattias Wirsenius - At this point it would be best to buy a new controller.
This guide is quite unhelpful; it tells you how to remove the stick but not how to repair it. My controller's joystick has sunken into the controller and stays slightly tilted if i move it to the right. Yet when I go to the "rogue joystick" portion of the troubleshooting guide, it tells me to repair the joystick if it's not correctly attached to the motherboard. Seriously, there needs to be a more in-depth guide if such repairs are possible.
without taking the controller completely apart, pull the joystick straight up with your hand
If it stay tilted, it because of a solid cluster of dust in the mechanism. After having remove the analog stick, look good solid black dust on it for each different rotation of the analog. After having clean it, to remove completely all the dust insistig with air compressed (shouldn't be any in risk in damaging something). The stick should come back as new.
The dust is conductive and give bad signal reading
This forum post has some options to make your stick unwobbly.
my controller cannot receive inputs left or right, only up and down. i tried unplugging it and plugging it back in, but it did not help. i dont know what is wrong.
did you ever find a fix?

What if you Couldn't Buy It? A Cooking Class

6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
There are some things for which we just depend on the supermarket or co-op, but what would happen if you couldn't? This class puts a fun spin on a semi-troubling question, by exploring how to grow and make from scratch some of the very items you may not consider local or handmade. Capers? Sriracha sauce?

Starbucks has opened inside the Fireside Bistro and students are lining up for coffee drinks and snacks.
"It wasn't the best, but I think in due time it'll get better," said student Justin Cole, who ordered a caramel macchiato.
Meanwhile, another student, Hailey Mauzy who ordered a strawberries and cream frappuccino, said, "I'm not really sure how I feel about the Starbucks yet since they don't really have any transparency on what's covered on the meal plan or not, so hopefully they'll get that later on."
With the opening of Starbucks, the Fireside Bistro also got a complete remodel to accommodate Starbucks' style. The Bistro now has a minimalistic style with neutral colors and small pops of red surrounding the seating areas. While the area in front of the fireplace remains bare for now, there is some new soft furniture being shipped to Shepherd to fill in the space.
Starbucks brings not only a new look and new drinks to Fireside, but also new food options including sandwiches, salads, breakfast, sweets, and gluten-free foods. It also accepts dining dollars and meal swipes, however, both faculty, staff and students are still trying to figure out what combinations will fit on one meal swipe. Although, it is known that students can use a meal swipe to buy a drink.

You are here
Only one week removed from the Club 7s National Championship, 15s rugby begins anew starting in the Midwest. Fifteens crept up on the Midwest, but the scores didn't show the rust of the summer. Three hundred total points were scored in four games with the top three teams from last season starting 2017 on a high note. With no Midwest competition planned for the spring, the conference started early to get entire 14 week schedule completed in the fall.
Chicago Griffins at Columbus-Scioto Valley
After getting younger and deeper in the offseason, the Columbus Rugby Club picked up where it left off at the end of last season by crushing the Chicago Griffins, 82-21. Scioto Valley punched through 12 tries by seven different players including four by fullback Peter Friedmann and three from eightman Riekert Hattingh.
Columbus sped out a 54-7 lead at halftime and then scored another four tries in the second. Joseph Schroeder, Roland Suniula, Ryan Cochran, Luke Hickey, and Taylor Howden also scored for Scioto Valley in the victory and Howden (9-10) and Tevita Maitvuki (2-2) combined for 11 conversions.
After taking over the team a year ago, head coach Phil Payne has witnessed a dramatic change in the club. When he started, Columbus only had 17 players at practice and now the team has grown to over 60 players deep. After finishing 12-3 last season but not advancing to Nationals, Payne retooled this summer and is ready to take the next step this fall.
"We are building on the team we had last year," Payne said. "We added significant depth in the tight five and our back line last year was one of the best in the country. Now, to have the depth to win all the scrums, steal their lineouts, and having a back line playing at a high level, we are doing things out there that is already advanced and it's just the first game of the season."
Milwaukee Barbarians at the Chicago Lions
After advancing at the 15s Final Four and coming in seventh at the Club 7s National Championships, the Chicago Lions have been busy. With the addition of multiple college recruits and players returning from injury, the Lions are ready to defend their Midwest Championship and return to Nationals in 2018.
The first task on its 14 game schedule this fall was the visiting Milwaukee Barbarians. After being down 12-7 early in the match, the Lions rebounded scoring 38 straight points to lead 45-12 in the beginning of the second half. Chicago traded tries with Milwaukee to end the game, but ended up doubling its opponent, 59-26. Frikkie De Beer (2), Dave Whitney, Thomas Kacor, Ethan Porter, Pat Rappleye, Brady Gent, and Sean Mahon scored tries for the Lions and Matt Hundley had eight conversions and a penalty.
"The intensity we played with in the first 60 minutes was key to victory," Chicago head coach Dave Clancy stated. "We executed our game plan well in attack and took out chances very well considering we are only back training for three weeks and only one week as a full group after our 7s run to the Nationals."
"We simply had more possession than Milwaukee for the majority of the game and it was a tough day for them," Clancy added. "I know they were missing some key players including their player/coach from the backline, so I expect them to be a lot stronger next time we face them."
Chicago has spent a majority of its prep time before the first match getting its new faces up to speed. Jake Hidalgo (Indiana), Jack Carso (St. Mary's) Brady Gent (Davenport), Mike Lau (Davenport), Aaron Thomas (Ohio State), Jack Walsh (Ohio State), Jake Lackovic (Mississippi), and Elliot Thiem (Wisconsin) join the team as well as welcoming back Michael Ziegler, Sean Mahon and Harry Deck who are returning from injury. Adding to the depth of the squad, the Lion's DIII side won its first ever game over the Woodsmen, 55-24.
"It's early days and we know we will have some strong challenges ahead of us, but we are satisfied with getting the result on the weekend and look to build on our performance moving forward," Clancy concluded. The Lions face Metropolis next weekend.
Metropolis at the Kansas City Blues
To begin the 2017-2018 Midwest season, Metropolis came back from a 20 point first half deficit to win 42-27 over the Kansas City Blues. Cody Weber and Sean Murray got the Blues on the board first with Kelly Mercer chipping in two conversions and two penalties. Metropolis started its comeback about 30 minutes in as David McGill, Vita Makasini, and Joeli Tikoisuva scored to close the gap to 20-19 at the half.
The Minneapolis, Minn. club took the lead with a Bryant Larson try and a Brian Ptomey penalty. KC cut the lead to two points with a Brendan Nachbar try at 29-27, but Metropolis' Ekapatelisio Veamatahau and Jerome Strother Jr. finished the game with tries and Ptomey added a PK at the end for the 42-27 victory.
In his first season as the Metropolis head coach, Rob Holder takes over a young squad with a ton of potential. On the comeback, Holder said, "We eliminated mistakes. KC took advantage of a lot of our mistakes early on. We were playing nervous and were making decent decisions but our execution was poor. Our execution got better and once we scored a couple of tries at the end of the first half, our confidence went up."
Metropolis travels to the Chicago Lions next week and Holder expects a tough challenge. "We want to continue to gain experience and test ourselves. They are going to be really good so we will test our young guys and gain experience and composure."
Cincinnati Wolfhounds at the Palmer College Dragons
In the final match of the weekend, Palmer College ripped off 40 unanswered points after giving up a penalty to start the game. The Dragons scored six tries to win 40-3 over the Cincinnati Wolfhounds. Charbel Medlej (2), Ben Deig, Glen Maricelli, Tyler Graham, and Cody Simpson had tries for Palmer with David Jerson and Gareth Lourens combining for five conversions.
Beating Cincinnati to start the season was a big deal for Palmer. "We have not beaten Cincinnati in over three years and have a lot of respect for the rugby and aggression that comes from the Hounds," Palmer head coach Michael Lawrenson said. "We prepared efficiently for this opening game with special emphasis on our assistant coach, Giovanni Frapporti, who has been thorough with the team's endurance training, which showed on Saturday.
"We were able to play at a speed that Cincinnati was unable to keep up with, allowing more line breaks, less mistakes and more errors on their defense," Lawrenson continued. "Defensively, we were more aggressive and our line speed stopped the ball before any momentum was gained. We look forward to playing Cincinnati later in the season and expect another grueling, hard fought match."

Doctor's Orders
I know, serious therapy time. Try not to judge me.
Fortunately for me, one of the best therapies is spinning. Today several members of my Wednesday spinning group met at a member's house since the church where we usually meet was tied up with Vacation Bible School. Three of us carpooled over to Keller to meet with others for our regular spin/knit/kibbutz/show-n-tell time. I took my alpaca baby hat for in-the-car knitting, and then some stash roving and my Louet wheel for the balance of the day. I made some progress. In my stash were several oddments of green rovings. In order to get enough yardage out of the lot, I tore the rovings into small pieces and spun the different shades of green and brown in random order. So far, I really like the resulting single. Now, plying. The decision before me is whether to Navajo ply the bobbin, or find a neutral or coordinating single laying around to ply with. I do have a taupe single, wound in a center pull ball on a paper core, of unknown fiber, that might do the job. Looks like a swatch is in order.
What are you spinning that you like right now? Why don't you spin as much as you'd like? Do you battle an inner killjoy of some kind? Maybe it's just me... ;-)

To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Greg Remedis, I've been a resident of Falmouth for the last nine years. I am the Scoutmaster for Boy Scout Troop 42 which serves over 30 young men, in addition I work with Cub Scout Pack 41 which serves nearly 50 youth and Falmouth Girl Scouts which serves around 150 girls ages 5 to 17 years of age.
These three groups have one thing in common, they all share meeting space at St. Anthony's Church. In addition, St. Anthony's provides religious education for youth and sponsors a youth group.
I was recently informed of plans for a needle exchange program to be offered directly across the street from the church property. In addition to the needle exchange, Narcan would also be distributed at this facility. Thursday evening was the first time I learned of these plans and I have many concerns regarding how this will affect the safety of all the children that count on the church building and grounds to be safe.
Providing clean needles to prevent the exchange of bloodborne diseases if absolutely a worthy cause. For three days I've been reading studies on results of these programs. It seems to me you can find the results you want to believe on almost any subject if you read enough studies.
There is already an issue with used hypodermic needles being dumped on the church property. It's a large dark parking lots with paths and woods next to the cemetery. The staff at St. Anthony's works hard to properly dispose of these daily so all the youth are safe. I'm having trouble seeing any scenario where the needle exchange located there will not lead to more needles not being properly disposed of.
My guess is if someone comes in for needles, they get them. Even if they've come a dozen times before and never 'exchanged' anything. I have lots of questions about this.
What steps are being taken to make sure this problem won't become a larger problem at St. Anthony's and to protect all these children? Education is simply not enough. Believing such is choosing ignorance over reality.
Who is responsible/liable if one of these young people gets stuck with a dirty needle? The town of Falmouth? The company managing this program? The state of Massachusetts? This is a very real question I need an answer for. The first time I must call a parent, I need to know who will take ownership for letting this happen.
I spend countless hours teaching these young people they need to be accountable for their actions. My hope is whoever is responsible for this will take the time to speak with the parents of these youth prior to this program moving forward.
Please share this email with anyone that can help with more information.
Greg Remedis
Troop 42 – East Falmouth, MA

BTOB revealed their new song "When I Was Your Man" for the first time live on radio!
Credit: BTOB Updates
The boys were on SBS Power FM's 'Boom's Young Street' and KBS 2FM's 'Super Junior's Kiss the Radio' to perform the songs. The song is a sweet, melodious song that seems to be the perfect track to get fans excited for the boys' full comeback.
As mentioned before, this song isn't the title track, but it almost was due to its unique retro R&B sound.
Rather than promoting the song through broadcast, the boys took on a different promotion tactic from most idol groups by revealing the song through the radio first ahead of their mini album release.
So give it a listen through the radio broadcast clips!

Today we proudly announce the general availability of Nutanix X-Ray 3.0, offering organizations the simplest way in which to test, analyze and report on the architectural, performance and scalability differences between a wide variety of hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) vendor platforms.
Businesses face a challenge carrying out infrastructure testing, often resulting in them not performing comprehensive testing, or only completing performance analysis, such as the four-corners test (micro-benchmark tests, referring to the pure I/O performance tests performed to understand the extremes for inputs and outputs). The infrastructure world we live in is complex, with many competing vendors and solution abstraction layers, and rarely do organizations run single application siloed infrastructure stacks without any shared resources.
Ultimately, organizations require the ability to understand the impact to consistent application performance from common data-center tasks. Developed since 2016, Nutanix X-Ray provides this scenario testing capability. This different testing methodology can be better understood in the recent Chaos Monkey for the Enterprise Cloud blog.
Building on prior X-Ray releases, X-Ray 3.0 brings product enhancements to several key areas:
- X-Ray testing code has now been made open-source
- Test scenario improvements for network bandwidth evaluations
- Usability enhancements including test pre-checks, a direct UI feedback option and improved reporting
X-Ray Open-Source
Announced in this recent blog, the X-Ray code component, Curie, which interprets and executes test scenarios has been made open source on GitLab under the MIT license.
During the first half of 2018, Nutanix enabled the downloading, modification and sharing of X-Ray test scenarios, effectively allowing organizations to create their own scenarios better fitting to their particular needs. By open sourcing X-Ray, everyone is entitled to download the source code to examine its behavior, opening up the potential for organizations and individual coders to contribute back to the product with merge requests, enabling them to shape future versions of the product.
Network Utilization Statistics
A new feature of scenario tests enables organizations to evaluate the effect on network utilisation for workloads running on different hyperconverged platforms. Leveraging ESXi's native hypervisor-level network statistics, it is now possible to evaluate how HCI features such as Nutanix Data Locality benefit the overall solution.
In the below graphic, we see that for target 'N', there is no network bandwidth utilisation for reads, due to Data Locality ensuring a copy of the VM's data is held locally. When businesses architect hyperconverged infrastructures, an important design consideration is to ensure sufficient network bandwidth to handle local and remote replication requirements. In this instance, we see that the Nutanix solution uses no bandwidth for network reads, and network writes are also lower due to the way in which data is written back to the cluster. This test scenario example demonstrates the HCI architecture benefit with Data Locality.
Usability Enhancements
Based on X-Ray user feedback, some usability enhancements have been added, including making it even easier to provide feedback directly to the Engineering and Product Management team, with the inclusion of a 'feedback' button directly in the UI.
Test pre-checks are improved when adding a new target, verifying connectivity between components, and also reporting on bad IPMI passwords. Together with improved error messages being reported on first failure, diagnosing target connectivity issues is simpler than ever.
X-Ray reports have been improved to include new test summary information and how they relate to different parts of the infrastructure lifecycle, as can be seen in the below sample:
With the general availability of X-Ray 3.0, organizations can now easily test the complete hyperconverged infrastructure lifecycle, analyzing and comparing vendors' performance, scalability and architectural differences.
Take a look at Nutanix X-Ray now for your HCI testing. Further details and registration can be found at www.nutanix.com/xray. A one-time registration is required, and all downloads, including documentation URLs can be found here.

Europe's professional golfers are already thinking about the big event in 2004 - the Ryder Cup.
The defence of the trophy won back in such dramatic fashion by Paul McGinley at The Belfry 16 months ago takes place at Oakland Hills in Detroit next September and will, as ever these days, be one of the most eagerly-awaited events of the sporting year ahead.
Bernhard Langer, ten times a member of the European team and now the first German to be made captain of it, belives our stars will face a torrid time in the US.
He said: "It's harder to play away from home, there's no doubt. Home advantage is like having an extra man.
"As the record shows we have not won many times in America, but we've also shown that it is possible."
Langer has created controversy already by saying that if he performs well enough he might revert to being a player again, but at 46 that is asking a lot with so many younger, eager and talented rivals around.
Darren Clarke, Padraig Harrington, Thomas Bjorn, Sergio Garcia, Colin Montgomerie and Lee Westwood will be expected to form the experienced backbone of the side, though Garcia and Montgomerie need to step things up again from what they produced for most of 2003 and Westwood will be keeping his fingers crossed that he can continue his remarkable revival from the depths of 257th in the world.
McGinley and Phillip Price, whose victory over Phil Mickelson was every bit as important as the Dubliner's putt against Jim Furyk to win back the cup, know they have the games to be part of the action again.
And then come the new breed. Ian Poulter just missed out last time, Paul Casey has superstar potential, Justin Rose ditto, while Luke Donald will be trying to get into the side the hard way, concentrating on the US Tour again and needing to shine just to qualify for the majors and world championships, where so many world ranking points and Order of Merit points are on offer.
A new qualifying system does at least help the 26-year-old. Five rather than 10 of Langer's players will come from the money list, five will now qualify from the ranking points they collect and two will be wild card picks again.
Assuming he stays as captain, Langer can be expected to do a thorough job in preparing the team to give of their best.
"I think he was the obvious choice and he will bring a gritty determination to get the job done and leave no stone unturned in his search for perfection," said Mark James, captain of the 1999 side.
James was in charge for the last match on American soil and the heckling from the Boston crowd and premature celebrating from members of Ben Crenshaw's team remain fresh in the memory.
Sam Torrance and Curtis Strange brought decorum back last year and Langer and opposite number Hal Sutton are placing great emphasis on that as well.
"Being the away team is more of a challenge and obviously the atmosphere is a little more hostile," stated Langer. "Playing at home you get an ovation every time you show your face.
"I wasn't in Boston and it's hard to experience a match on television because you only see what the camera shows. But I think both sides have made great strides and tremendous efforts to rectify the situation and to do everything that is possible so that the problems there do not happen again.
"I hope what happened in Boston doesn't happen again, but you never know. What I do know is that the Americans might say we have misbehaved at times when the matches have been over this side of the Atlantic, so this is not just one way."
Sutton's other main task, of course, is to try to get the best out of Tiger Woods.
The world number one has played three matches so far and has a record of five wins, two halves and eight defeats. And Sutton hopes that as well as producing more on the course his star man can be more vocal off it.

New E-File Requirements in New Jersey, California
February 13, 2015
By Gary Bingel, CPA
New Jersey
In accordance with NJ Admin. Reg. Section 18:7-11.19, eff. 1/20/2015, all NJ taxpayers and preparers should be advised that beginning with tax years starting on or after January 1, 2015, all tax preparers must make all corporate business tax payments and filings electronically, including estimated payments. Further, for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2016, taxpayers that file their own corporate business tax returns must do so electronically, including making all payments electronically.
Currently, the New Jersey Division of Taxation has yet to determine the proper method of electronic payment (EFT (ACH Debit/Credit), E-Check, or Credit Card). Should the New Jersey Division of Taxation require EFT payments, the taxpayer must enroll in EFT online and select whether they are electing to use ACH Debit or ACH Credit. The taxpayer would then have to provide the routing number, bank account number, whether it is a checking/savings, business/personal, and their e-filing PIN, which can be requested online if a taxpayer does not have one, when enrolling in EFT. This information would also have to be provided to the tax preparer. If the New Jersey Division of Taxation allows any other form of payment, e-check or credit card, an enrollment would not be needed with these methods. The tax preparer would only require the information applicable to these methods of payments.
At this point, the New Jersey Division of Taxation has yet to state or require a certain amount of funding time prior to the payments being transferred. Currently, NJ requires that there be sufficient funds available prior to making a transfer, but they do not specify a time period prior to the transfer that the funds need to be made available. These and any other administrative issues are currently being addressed by the Division of Taxation.
In accordance with this California Legislative Information, effective January 1, 2015, California stated that for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014, an electronic filing requirement was placed for business entities. Any business entity return that is prepared using tax preparation software must be filed electronically. However, California did not state an electronic payment requirement. California will still accept multiple methods of payment for businesses. The required entities include S Corporations, an organization exempt pursuant to Chapter 4 of Part 11, a partnership or a limited liability company. A business entity may annually request a waiver of the requirements for electronic filing from the Franchise Tax Board. The Franchise Tax Board may grant a waiver if it determines that the business entity is unable to comply with the requirements due to, but not limited to, technology constraints or due to other reasonable causes, and not willful neglect. If a business entity that is required to electronically file a return fails to file electronically, they will be subject to a penalty in the amount of $100 for an initial failure and $500 for each subsequent failure unless the failure is due to reasonable cause, and not willful neglect. If a group return is filed on behalf of eligible electing taxpayer members of a combine group, the penalties would be applied to the combined reporting group and not the taxpayer of the reporting group.
For any additional information, please refer to the California FAQ on California business e-file program.

A Guide for Advocates to Understand the Legal Implications of Abusive International Marriages grew out of the need to identify legal remedies available to survivors and family members affected by this issue. It is intended as a resource for advocates who work with Hmong American women and families affected by abusive international marriages as defined below. Abusive international marriage is a very specific form of gender-based violence steeped in specific cultural experiences; hence, typical legal remedies designed for domestic violence and sexual assault might not be appropriate. Women in abusive international marriages often have a wide variety of legal and non-legal issues that need to be competently addressed, and it is easy for an advocate to feel overwhelmed. Advocates, however, can contribute a critical service to women by helping to identify the many issues in an abusive international marriage, and by exploring options and resources that might be available. This Guide provides information for advocates so they are better equipped to do just that.

Showbiz News & Gossip
Entertainment in Canada boasts all the sophistication vacationers have come to count on from a significant North American nation, coupled with delightful rural entertainment in enjoyable local venues. What the key drawback with focusing on nothing however entertainment-related "information" is, is the fact that our society isn't holding itself knowledgeable about the major issues and current events in our society when they are consistently bombarded with nothing but entertainment trade "information." The complacency with which most have ALLOWED this to happen is the saddest part of this, because the common individual no longer cares about major points or world events.
Typically you need the adrenalin rush and motion such as what the Black Panther movie brings to see the brighter facet of life†– mentioned a movie lover, Audrey as she walked out of the Silverbird Cinemas at the Accra mall after having fun with an unique pre-screening of the Black Panther. Founded in 1973 as retail music distributor Data on Wheels, 12 by 2003 the company had begun to broaden into dwelling entertainment distribution, and international movie and television acquisition and manufacturing by means of the acquisition of Alliance Movies , together with different distributors and studios.
Not solely does it present entertainment however we will even do some transactions like whenever you want to purchase stun weapons online. That is especially true for entertainment that is extra public or supplied by the media and entertainment offered by films, theatre, music, and all forms of creative artwork. The internet provides information on numerous sources for motion pictures, music, and different types of entertainment.
Theatres, live reveals, sports activities occasions were among the few entertainment options obtainable. Reside music at Dash Center, dive bars on 39th Avenue, buying on the Nation Membership Plaza—entertainment comes in many forms in Kansas Metropolis. Able to spend countless hours watching your selection of the latest and biggest films, bingeworthy TELEVISION reveals and special occasions?
Panama City is by far probably the most cosmopolitan city within the Central America, and in fact for entertainment and nightlife even rivals Rio or Cancun. Within the case of entertainment we participate almost in a passive manner and although we may be very alert and awake within the means of watching a movie, entertainment provides us the illusion of non participation as we do not have the chance to get voluntarily concerned within the state of affairs.

The MyThemeShop collection consists of 99 themes to date — 83 premium themes, and 16 ones that are free. Best WordPress Theme Templates
MyThemeShop Topics were designed with usability in mind, and each theme ships with a market-leading theme options panel from which you can control the motif's settings, import arbitrary content (to have your site looking like the demo you saw when you purchased the theme), or dive into its many customisation options.
It's Worth taking a little time to discuss the scope of these options, making the themes versatile.
For a Start, every theme has the full catalogue of Google net fonts — over 600 and support for colors that are unlimited. Maybe more importantly, all topics offer you unlimited background options: including a variety of built-in desktop layouts, the above unlimited colours, and the option to upload a custom background picture.
The Topics are too. There's built in advertising management, buttons that were fashionable and lightweight, and contact type functionality included with every motif. All topics come with support for the entire collection of MyThemeShop shortcodes, allowing you to add eye-catching design components to your site easily.
Most Importantly, though, is that under all of this is a lightweight, and robust code. What is more, to ensure that your website is as visitor-friendly as possible, all topics boast a fully mobile responsive design, lightning-quick load times, and cross-browser compatibility.
Another Bonus: every theme comes with a narrated video tutorial, plus MyThemeShop delivers round-the-clock support that will assist you out of any tight spots you might encounter (more on this later).
The Themes are divided across four classes:
- Magazine topics (39 available)
- Website themes (41 available)
- WooCommerce themes (17 available)
- Business topics (9 available)
Searching To get a theme is easy, and the MyThemeShop website has plenty of features that will help you out. To begin with, you can search for themes in each of the four categories we've just listed, and there is another class for free and assorted themes. Or, if you would prefer, you can start by looking for a keyword. Best WordPress Theme Templates
All Themes include a preview that will assist you to get an idea of the plan. These previews come in rows of three by default, butif you would like a slightly bigger preview, then you can select rows of 2. There's also a filter that allows you sort the themes by release date or popularity.
Maybe Most useful of all, however, is that MyThemeShop allows you to choose which features you need on your subject. Characteristics are selected from a listing, and any motif that fails to meet with your criteria is dropped from the search page. There are nine options (and you can pick more than one):
- Two column
- Three pillar
- AdSense optimised
- Full width
- Fixed header
- Responsive
- Slider
- Translation ready
When You've found a theme you like the look of, you can click through to the motif's merchandise page. Here, you are going to be able to read more about the theme's main attributes, plus you will get an notion of this theme's popularity — every theme involves a neighborhood rating from five.
As you'd Expect from one of the best theme sellers each theme also comes with its own demo.
Before You buy a theme, I suggest spending a couple of minutes. You'll be able to sample the motif's designs, try out the different customisation choices, and find an overall idea of the way the theme looks and plays.

Dan Hausel began training in karate in 1964. His inspiration to sign up for karate resulted from the Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in February 1964. After watching the Beatles, he focused on learning to play the guitar and like many teens at the time, played in a rock-n'-roll band after signing up for guitar lessons at the Progressive School of Music in SLC.

Sacharnoski is the best martial artist I've ever seen", says Dan Hausel, Soke
On February 9th 1964, Ed Sullivan introduced the Beatles on his variety show. This event changed people's lives as they watched the program with their families on black and white TVs complete with the old vacuum tubes. For Dan Hausel, he also wanted to be a rock-n'-roll star! Next door to his Junior High School (Irving Junior in Sugarhouse of SLC) was the Black Eagle Federation karate dojo, which would play an important part of his life, thanks to rock n' roll.
Only a few teenagers at this time grew their hair into a Beatles's cut. Mind you, in 1964 crew cuts were the norm, those who had any hair to speak of were dabbing it with Brylcreme and no male had hair that touched their ears. Those with hair of any length were so greased that many a head could have been used to extract diamonds at any South African diamond mine. Brylcreme ads resonated on TV and AM radio "Brylcreme, a little dab will do you..." – it was an extremely conservative society that did not accept change easily.

n' Roll concert (Salt Lake Tribune,
Sept. 5th, 1965)
In the summer of 1964, Soke Hausel and three other teens started a garage band. If you travel to Grand Junction, Colorado, you will see photographs of the band displayed on the wall at J.B. Hart Music Company. The band known as the Churchmen, included a keyboard player who now owns Hart Music.
The band became very popular, ended up as a warm up band at some concerts, made it on TV, on the radio, and even had its own personal fan club - made up entirely of a group of Japanese-American girls who followed them around to various concerts, taking photos, and keeping a photo scrapbook of the band. When it became popular due to the hippie culture, the band even took on a light show - Tokyo Joe's light show - ran by one Japanese-American. There were many Japanese-Americans in Utah, presumably because of the World War II internment camps located in Utah, southern Idaho and western Wyoming.
Long hair was a liability in 1964, so sometime in 1964 the band signed up for self-defense lessons at the Black Eagle Federation Dojo in Sugarhouse. Soke Hausel was a sophomore in high school at the time and the dojo was located far enough away from his home that he walked a 2.5 to 3 mile round trip to get there and back because of being under aged for driving. On the walk, he had to pass through a large park. In the evenings, the park often was a play ground for hoods and others looking for trouble. Periodically, he had the opportunity to apply what he had just learned in karate classes.
|Our Rock n' Roll band - the
Churchmen outside of Terrace
Gardens (1966).
It was a tough dojo and a declaration by the band's drummer, George Allen, was descriptive: "It was the toughest workout I had ever experienced and I actually sweat blood". He insisted that skinny o' Hausel would not last a week in the dojo, but he didn't understand that Soke Hausel took challenges seriously. George only lasted about a week or two but Hausel became fascinated with martial arts, particularly after the introduction of the Green Hornet (starring Bruce Lee) on TV in 1966-67 and the later Kung Fu series (1972-1975) with David Caridine. Hausel remembers training at the dojo and hurrying home to see Kato (played by Bruce Lee) take out a bad guy in very tiny segments of the program. The show really stunk, but the few seconds Bruce Lee made his appearance made it all worth while.
Hausel trained under various Sensei at the Black Eagle Federation dojo. Its been more than 45 years, but he particularly remembers Sensei Becker, Sensei Rudi, Sensei Fox and the head instructor, Sensei Anguay. Soon, Hausel became the designated uke for Sensei John Becker. Sensei Becker would call him in front of the class – "hey Ringo", and then often level him with a punch or kick. Back in those days, martial artists trained with full power and full force and lawyers were almost unheard of.
Part of the time, the demo was full force - after all , this was a kyokushin kai dojo and they had to maintain the focus of the style: full contact. Hausel survived and later repaid Becker for his demonstrations after he had to leave to dojo to take a job. When he returned, he was in poor shape, had been smoking, and his reflexes were not what they had been. During training, Hausel blocked a kick by Becker with his leg, leaving a large welt on Becker's shin.

year old Sherman Granite east of
Laramie, Wyoming (about 1985)
But before this happened, Hausel remembers one night in particular. Sensei Becker decided he was going to get everyone in shape. They did dozens of squat kicks, duck walks, push ups, sit-ups, deep horse stances (kiba dachi), and a few hundred kicks until Hausel no longer had any strength in my legs. He was a teenager and had never done any formal exercise on his own up to that point, and unfortunately, had a long walk home from the dojo through Fairmont Park to his home on 27th South and 8th east. Periodically, he collapsed as his knees buckled. To stand, he had to pull himself up, lock his knees and walk with a awkward gait as his muscles would no support his weight. Later, he noticed the positive affects; he found strength in his legs that few others in his high school class could match in track and field.
Each week they had kumite training. In the 60s, no one cared much about safety and the only protective gear was a cup. No gloves, head gear, padding, nothing else, and all strikes were full contact to any part on the body. In a short time, they developed lightning fast reflexes as they fought everyone in the dojo without breaks at each kumite session. If they would have been properly trained in ki, probably someone would have been killed. But even this kind of negative training provided Hausel with experience and ideas on how better to train his own students later in life.
One evening, the band's bass player was hit in the forehead by an adult wearing a ruby ring. Ruby is only second in hardness to that of diamond - so you can imagine the kind of imprint this made on Steve Paulos. For about a month, one could easily tell the type of cut and carat weight of the gemstone from the impression in Steve's forehead. And yes, all students in the class were periodically knocked out. Hausel remembers karate ka talking about how great he had fought one evening, which puzzled him as he had no recollection of the match or even getting dressed to go home. He finally realized what had happened half way home when he came to his senses.

the University of Utah, 1970.
After Hausel graduated from high school he headed to the University of Utah. While at the U, he trained with the U of U Karate Club under Sensei Osaka in Wado-Ryu karate. Sensei Osaka could not speak English, so it resulted in lots of hands on explanations. During one of the club's demonstrations another group presented a demo of Shotokan karate. Hausel was very impressed and decided to start training under Sensei Tutsumi in Bountiful Utah.
After graduating from the University of Utah in 1972 and 1974 in geology, he moved to Albuquerque to attend graduate school at the University of New Mexico. His advisor, Dr. Kudo, was a prankster and of Japanese descent. Following his first mid-term exam in Geology 101, he called on Hauel to assist in breaking the ice. He stashed another graduate student in the lecture hall who pretended to be upset by his grade. The student challenged Kudo to a fight to the death and called his body guard. His body guard, Rusty Riese, another graduate student and fellow martial artist walked out on the podium wearing a gi. Kudo accepted the challenge and exclaimed he had a martial arts expert of his own. This was Hausel's queue and he came running across the stage, leaping into a flying side kick (yoko tobi geri) directed at Rusty. They fought our way off the stage. Many of students probably tell stories about these skits.

On a more serious note, Hausel was attacked by two thugs on the UNM campus right after teaching a karate class in the student union. He was already warmed up. As he walked out of the union, one of the thugs assumed a cat stance on his left, while the other moved to his right to try out-maneuver him. Hausel reports that alarms went off in his head – the one on the left was likely a martial artist and the other had a knife. The one to his left attacked first and threw a right hook, followed by a right kick, and then a left hook. Hausel easily blocked the right punch and kick. While in the process of throwing a left hook, Hausel hit him three times three tsuki directed to the temple, neck and upper lip. The attacker collapsed and Hausel turned to face the other. Frightened, he had no fight in him and wanted to go to the aid of his partner. This was unfortunate, as Hausel discovered he loved to fight and later had to do some serious soul searching to keep himself in check. He began to do a lot of meditating and joined a local Christian Church to finally calm his spirit. But the technique used back on the UNM campus worked so well, that later when he became the grandmaster of Seiyo Shorin-Ryu Karate, he incorporated the sandan tsuki into one of the Seiyo Shorin-Ryu kata (Meikyo kata).

After UNM, Hausel moved to southern New Mexico where he taught karate and worked as a geologist. One of his students was Tom Custer, who had a family with a long history of note. In Tom's lineage was another Tom with his brothers Boston and George Armstrong Custer. Hausel soon left New Mexico for Wyoming where he began research in geology at the Geological Survey on the University of Wyoming campus and started teaching karate, kobudo, jujutsu and self-defense classes at UW.
Over the years, Hausel taught hundreds of students at the University of New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming as well as classes in karate and jujutsu in the UW Department of Physical Education, Department of Kinesiology, and the School of Extended Studies. He also taught at private clubs and offered clinics for a number of groups around the state. Later he opened a dojo with Shihan Stahl, 5th dan, in Saratoga, Wyoming where several martial arts clinics were held and Stahl taught karate and tai ki classes. In 1990, Hausel affiliated with Juko Kai International and focused on Shorin-Ryu and Juko-Ryu martial arts. His personal sensei was (and still is) Dai-Soke Sacharnoski, 12th dan. Most people have no idea what a great honor it is to train directly under a grandmaster. Prior to Dai-Soke Sacharnoski, Hausel had only known of 3 or 4 other grandmasters in the world, and all were incredible martial artists.
At his first national JKI black belt clinic, Soke Sacharnoski tested him for godan (5th dan) and Shihan (master instructor). This test was done in front of 250 black belts from 1st dan to 10th dan – and Hausel was the only one allowed to test. So everyone watched. Following the test, he was promoted. Another black belt (Ron Smith) told him that his ki and focus were so incredible that Hausel actually shook the building with his punches. Another, a Nanadan (7th dan), told him it was the best display of Shotokan (Shorin-Ryu) karate he had ever seen. But according to Hausel, he was like a deer in headlights – he had never seen a grandmaster in person and never had the opportunity to approach anyone with such high rank as a 7th dan, two 9th dans and Grandmaster Sacharnoski.
|A day Hausel will never forget -

JKI is a unique organization and has many of the top martial arts instructors in North America (as well as the world). Most who apply for membership in JKI are refused. We know of no other organization that requires its instructors to be of such high caliber and rejects so many applicants.
Hausel continued to attend all of the JKI clinics he could afford to. The limiting factor was his work that required him to conduct field work in the middle of nowhere. But in 1996, the University of Wyoming Campus Shorin-Ryu Karate Club was able to bring Dai-Soke to UW to teach a clinic.
His most memorable day in martial arts occurred a few years later in 1999. He had been promoted to hachidan (8th dan) in 1998 and at the time was personally invited to sit and talk alone with Dai-Soke Sacharnoski who suggested he should consider becoming Soke of his own style since he had already developed a hybrid style with his training in Kokushin Kai, Kempo, Wado-Ryu, Shotokan, Dai Yoshin-Ryu, Juko-Ryu, Nippon-Ryu, Shorin-Ryu and other arts and earned status of Kyoju (Professor of Budo), and was awarded JKI Samurai. He had also been awarded the top JKI instructor of the Year. But he never had dreamed of becoming a Soke.
|Soke Jim Moclair (Great Britain)
and Soke Hausel (Wyoming) at JKI Hombu, 1999
To be a Soke, one must demonstrate a new legitimate style, or inherit a style from a Soke. Dai-Soke felt Hausel had demonstrated a new art and proved his ability. Thus in 1999, he was awarded certification as Soke Shodai of Seiyo No Shorin-Ryu Karate Kobudo Kai (TM) at the JKI Hombu in Murphy North Carolina and was promoted to kudan (9th dan).
In 2003, Hausel was able to bring his childhood hero to UW for a clinic. Tadashi Yamashita from Okinawa showed up to a packed training session at UW. Yamashita Sensei is an excellent Shorin-Ryu stylist as well as a Hollywood stunt man and movie star.
In the following year, 2004, Hausel was promoted to judan (10th dan) by Dai Soke Sacharnoski as well as by a few other international associations. He didn't keep detailed records, but a few thousand students trained in Seiyo Shorin-Ryu under the direction of Soke Hausel. Many students from UW became engineers, university faculty, scientists, etc.
