Wanna Tweet in North Korea? It's Not Cheap
One nugget of news that created a little buzz last week among the North Korea-watching community was word that foreigners would soon be able to get 3G Internet connections on mobile devices while in the country, possibly as early as this week.
The announcement came shortly after North Korea said it would allow foreigners to bring in their mobile phones and rent SIM cards provided by Koryolink, a North Korean joint venture with Egypt's Orascom Telecom Media and Technology Holding SAE.
North Koreans, meanwhile, won't get any kind of access to the outside world on their phones – at least not on the official network. But the change does mean those that travel to the country should be able to post messages to social networking services in real-time while visiting the tourist sites, correspond via email, have video chats with people outside the country and generally feel less like they're going into an information black hole.
One question that has been answered since the announcement is how much North Korea plans to charge visitors for Internet access. China's Xinhua news agency reported over the weekend a breakdown of costs based on information from a Koryolink technician.
The intial 'set-up' cost to enable mobile devices to connect to Koryolink's network is 75 euros for a USB modem or 150 euros for a SIM card, according to the report. Then the charges for data usage range from 150 euros for 2 gigabytes to 400 euros for 10 gigabytes.
The 2 gigabyte package appears to be the cheapest option available, meaning visitors would face a total bill of 225 euros, or around $300, if using a USB modem. Compare that with the unlimited data roaming charges in South Korea of around $5/day and it's not hard to see who's doing the price gouging. Blame it on the lack of competition, perhaps.
The Xinhua report suggests that the service is primarily targeted at those that are in the country for extended periods, so it's possible the charges could be made more easy to stomach for travelers.
"Since the number of foreign residents here are limited, we will try to get more permission from the Korean security side to launch more services for short time tourists coming here for travel," the technician is quoted as saying.
In the meantime, those wanting to post photos of their 'rare glimpse into North Korea' while in the country will have to be prepared to fork out handsomely for the privilege.

Great Live Moments - Steps Ahead
April 9, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: bassist, debut album, don grolnick, drummer, eddie gomez, eliane elias, fusion, group steps, kool jazz festival, Listening Post, Live Music, michael brecker, peter erskine, pianist, saxophonist, solo effort, some heavy hitters, time steps, vibraphonist, wbgo
The group Steps Ahead came together in 1979, but their debut album did not arrive until 1983. By that time, Steps had created a potent form of fusion. WBGO recorded an early version of the band in the summer of 1982, during the now-defunct Kool Jazz Festival. Vibraphonist Mike Maineri (photographed above) was the leader, and the lineup included some heavy hitters - drummer Peter Erskine, bassist Eddie Gomez, pianist Don Grolnick, and saxophonist Michael Brecker. Brecker was already a star, even though he had not yet recorded a solo effort (and would not for nearly five more years...strange but true...). Steps Ahead became a group that people in and out of jazz noticed, and a lot of young talent got an early lift from being in the band
(pianist Eliane Elias comes to mind).
Check out Steps Ahead playing "Islands," from the WBGO Archives.

3 Things You Should Know About Small Business: Nov. 20
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- What's happening in small business today?
1. More consumers plan to shop "small" on Small Business Saturday. Consumers will be out in force this Saturday for American Express' (AXP) Small Business Saturday .
The Small Business Saturday Consumer Insights Survey, conducted by American Express OPEN and the National Federation of Independent Business, polled 1,000 consumers between Nov. 7-12 of their shopping plans.
Two-thirds of those surveyed plan to buy from local businesses on Nov. 24, the day designated for Small Business Saturday. (Forty-four percent said they shopped at a small business for last year's event.)
>>>Small Business Saturday Set to Catapult Local Shops
The survey found that a majority plan to spend more money than they did last year, averaging about $100 each on Small Business Saturday.
In response, thousands of small businesses around the country are planning special offers, partnering with neighboring businesses and hosting events to support the small-business shopping day.
The survey also found:
The top five places that consumers plan to shop on Small Business Saturday are restaurants (52%), bakeries (35%), clothing stores (34%), gift shops (31%) and book shops (29%).
The No. 1 reason that consumers plan to support small businesses is because they value their contributions to the community (76%). The No. 2 reason was better customer service (59%).
Half of those planning to shop on Small Business Saturday will bring a friend.
Two-thirds plan to eat out at small, independently owned restaurants.
Word-of-mouth is the top way that consumers find small, independently owned shops and restaurants in their communities (79%).
Small-business owners can go to a section on the NFIB's website to submit information about their business and why shoppers should visit on Nov. 24, which will be promoted by the NFIB on its Facebook and Twitter pages.
Now in its third year, the movement is gaining steam. More than 200 advocacy groups, 60 public officials and 70 corporate partners have signed on to endorse the campaign, according to the Shop Small website.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the world's largest business organization representing the interests of more than 3 million businesses of all sizes, will organize Small Business Saturday events through their local member chambers. To date, nearly 50 member chambers have rallied businesses in their communities and will host local activities leading up to and on Nov. 24, where attendees will have the opportunity to pick up tote bags, and to get American Express Shop Small gift cards as part of a community-activation program.
2. Small Business Administration looking for tech innovators to provide a "non-electric heating solution" in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. The SBA has an urgent call for innovation. According to an email notice sent by the SBA on Tuesday, the agency has asked Defense Alliance, a company that has been awarded an SBA grant, to help small businesses get government contracting jobs through the Department of Defense, Department of Energy and others "to put out a call to our membership for an urgent technology need in the wake of Hurricane Sandy."

For my honeymoon 3 and a half years ago we went to Thailand, to Bangkok and Koh Samui. I loved it – the atmosphere, the scenery, the weather, and the food of course. So, last week on Masterchef I was delighted when the contestants were flown to Thailand to cook in a market and then for a royal banquet. Some of the best food we ate was also in a market, so I was especially interested in the street food. Like with lot of Thai food, the paste is the base of the dish and so the contestants spent a long time pounding away with pestle and mortars. I was a little lazier. I used my pestle and mortar to crush the galangal, as it's quite tough but then put it in the blender with all the other ingredients to make the paste. I then just added the fish to the blender once the paste was made. So, really easy fish cakes, much easier than making them in a Thai market. Nevertheless, I'm fairly confident that I've managed to make quite good ones. I didn't use any flour, which leads to a denser, heavier fishcake so they stayed really light and juicy, but held together well and were bursting with flavour. Definitely one to make again.
I just served these with a little squeeze of lime juice but they would normally be served with sweet chilli sauce. However, I'm not keen on sweet and savoury together so didn't bother to make any. But, after this week's show focusing on pastry, I will now be making something sweet and next week is the last week so there'll only be two more Inspired by Masterchef posts to go. For now anyway.
Ingredients – Makes 6 fish cakes
4 largish red chillies, most of the seeds removed
2 tsp lemongrass paste or a fresh lemongrass stalk
4 shallots
2 cloves of garlic
Small knob of galangal
Handful of coriander leaves
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp cumin
3 kaffir lime leaves
1 tsp fish sauce
200g white fish
1 lime (to serve)
How to make Thai Fish Cakes
1. In a pestle and mortar, crush the galangal then put in a food processor. If using fresh lemongrass, also pound first in the pestle and mortar. Add all the other ingredients to the food processor except the fish. Blend to a paste. Taste and made any adjustments if necessary.
2. Roughly chop the fish and add it to the food processor.
3. Take the mixture out of the food processor, using a tablespoon. Place spoonfuls on a plate and flatten slightly. Put in the fridge for half an hour.
4. Heat some oil in a frying pan and then fry the fish cakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Serve with lime wedges or sweet chilli sauce.

TRAINING LEVEL: Basic
CLASS SIZE: Minimum: 1 Maximum: 1
This Web-based training (WBT) course provides an overview of Acoustic Principles related to highway traffic noise. The course incorporates the Interactive Sounds Information System (ISIS) -- a customized noise simulation model -- to demonstrate Acoustic Principles.
The WBT begins with the characteristics of sound and discusses how to apply basic concepts of acoustics to solve sample problems. It proceeds to the propagation of sound: a presentation on the four phenomena of divergence, ground effects, atmospheric effects, and shielding by natural and man-made features. The interaction between highway noise and barriers is described and key noise barrier concepts are presented (i.e. direct, incident, transmittal, reflected, and diffracted). Traffic noise sources are discussed, as well as a brief overview of traffic noise modeling and vehicle classification types.
The goal for the Highway Traffic Noise: Basic Acoustics WBT is to explain the basic principles of highway traffic acoustics.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
The Basic Acoustics of Highway Traffic Noise WBT is intended for FHWA staff; State department of transportation (DOT) environmental specialists, designers, planners or engineers; city or county environmental engineers, coordinators or specialists, and consultants. The training design for this WBT assumes that participants have basic computer skills (e.g. manipulating windows, using directories, a web browser, etc).

November 5, 2007 WIC Update
SUBJECT 1: Program for Dietetic Interns
SUBJECT 2: Redesigned WIC Exit Counseling Handout
SUBJECT 3: WIC HANDS Changes Effective 11/13/07
- Program for Dietetic Interns: This is a reminder that the Program for Dietetic Interns (PDI) is taking applications for the 2008-2009 class year. Up to four interns will be selected from the pre-select option. This is advantageous for employees of LWPs who are eligible to participate in the pre-select option. The deadline for the pre-select option is December 31, 2007. There is no fee for those interns who are currently employed with the MDHSS WIC Program or employed by a Missouri Local WIC Provider. A $3,000 fee will apply to all other interns. Don't forget to use the "new" application form, which is required (see attached). The Dietetic Internship Recommendation form is also attached for your use. Website information is currently being revised and updated. Please check our website frequently for changes. If you have any questions, please contact Vicki Strickland at 800-392-8209 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Redesigned WIC Exit Counseling Handout: The WIC Exit Counseling handout (WIC 712) has been redesigned and should be available at the warehouse by December 31, 2007. Please feel free to make copies as needed. The current WIC Exit Counseling handouts (Cream Color) are still available in the DHSS warehouse. If you have any suggestions and/or questions, please e-mail Takako Tagami at firstname.lastname@example.com.
- WIC HANDS Changes Effective 11/13/07: The following changes will be implemented on Tuesday 11/13/07 in HANDS:
- H401/H402/H403/H422/H423 screens - These screens will not allow a cert/recert record to be keyed with the same service date as the previous record. The end user will receive an error message "Duplicate Service Date".
- H423 screen - This screen is being modified so that an infant record can be updated anytime during the certification period. Currently, 90 days after the service date on an infant's record, the health assessment data (ht/wt/hd circ) is protected automatically. It will simply be unprotected from this point on.
- H651/H652/H653 screens - These screens are being modified so that if you are trying to print FIs for a Breastfeeding mom (B) record, the system will give an error message if there is an infant connected to that B record and the infant is not marked as "Currently BF". The error message will read "NO BF I". If the infant is still BF, the H225 screen must be updated to reflect this and then the B FI's can be printed. If the infant is not BF, the B record must be changed to an N (if less than 6 months from the delivery date) and then FIs can be printed.
If you would like a list of any B records with an infant not BF, please notify Melissa Seaver at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you have any questions about these changes or if you see any problems once they are implemented, please contact the WIC Help Desk at 800-554-2544 or Melissa Seaver at 573-751-6489.

At arrival we discovered that the terrace was a construction site so we could not go out and all construction gear blocked the view. W had not been informed about this before and it took a lot of time and involving Wimdu before we got a very small compensation. Also the apartment floors was very dirty upon arrival and we got no support to clean them so had to do it by our self
Overall this made our stay very disappointed and our vacation was not at all as we wanted it to be
Wir haben den Aufenthalt in dem sehr großen und sauberen Appartement sehr genossen. Der Check-In & Check-Out hat bestens geklappt!
Warum ich keine 5 Sterne vergebe:
- Es ist nicht sofort ersichtlich, dass man die Couch nicht als "richtiges" Bett verwenden kann. (Für 1 Person OK, aber nicht für 2 Personen geeignet!)
- Leider gab es Beeinträchtigungen durch die Fassadenrenovierungsarbeiten. (Balkon nicht vollständig benutzbar, vollkommen durch Baustaub verschmutzte Fenster, Baulärm an Wochentagen und ein brennendes Stromkabel an einem Gerüst vor unserem Fenster...)
- Strand ist sehr gut erreichbar und sauber
- Pool sehr warm, allerdings auch hier leichte Beeinträchtigungen durch die Bauarbeiten
- Vorsicht hier gibt es NUR Valet-Parking! D.h.: Mann darf (!) sein Auto nicht selber parken, sondern muss es immer holen und bringen lassen, was teilweise zu längeren Wartezeiten führte! Außerdem kann man nicht mal eben schnell seinen Einkauf abladen und wieder weiterfahren, weil es keinerlei Kurzzeitparkplätze gibt (ganz zu schweigen vom ewigen 1$-Tip...)
- Leider ist auch keine Grundausstattung (Spülmaschinenmittel, Spülmittel, Besen/Schaufel/Staubsauger) vorhanden, außer 1 Rolle Küchenpapier und 2 Rollen Klopapier
- Handtücher & Bettwäsche ist ausreichend vorhanden!
Alles in allem würde ich dieses Appartement und v.a. die Abwicklung mit dem Besitzer bzw. der Vermittlung auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen, da es sehr unkompliziert, schnell und nett ablief.

Prefect stay with perfect location. Valet parking to slow.
The place is located in a old big building near the beach.
You can reach it by the airport with the express line 150 getting off when reaching Miami Beach and taking the 120 express line.
Going Miami down town is quite long (more than half an hour) but possible and not too much expensive ($ 5 with a daily pass) (lines S, L, 120 express).
Of course, the picture looks much better than what you find in reality, but you find everything you need for your stay in Miami Beach.
We stayed twice at the location. For the second stay we wanted to change the booking as we couldn't make it the day we have planned to. We have tried to reach wimdu several times, wrote emails, left messages, etc. no one even bothered to get in touch with us. Therefore, we were not able to go theusual change process, as we had notchance. So we contacted the provider in order to change the dates. We did nof cancel only changed the arrival date and stayed one night less. The provider told us it is OK and that he would inform the front desk. For us it was not questinable, that we would get the money for the night not spent there back. But since then, we are still trying to get in contact with wimdu (it has been almost 6 weeks). Apart from one mail explaining the change and cancellation process (thank you but maybe you need to learn the process first), all we got back was contact wimdu. How are you supposed to do so when no one bothers. We get the feeling that they do not want to refund ame therefore, do not react. This is rip-off.
We will not recommend the stay as the provider as well as wimdu are not customer friendly at all and they both enrich themselves on customers who want to cancel or change dates.
If you stay there and need to change or cancel due to whatever reason, do not expect to reach wimdu or the provider to be any help. They will explain the cancellation process which you can't use as no one answers. The provider only explains he cannot do anything but he gets the money, so you would think he would be able to refund - but no way. So at the beginning the replies got in really fast. As soon as there was a Problem, not even the Provider cared or replied.
so, if you can, go somewhere nicer, more modern and not so used place.
We are really disappointed.
Excellent host!
The appartement was clean & large, it has everything you need.
The bathroom is old, but because everything was clean, we haven't had a problem about this fact.
Parking is really expensive in Miami, so it was good that it was inclusive.
We can recommend it for more than one day in Miami :).
A wonderfull apartment, very clean, everything is completely new. We had a bit noisy neighbours, but nothing Facundo can do about that. The overall complex is a bit older and worthy of a renovation, but this apartment itself is fantastic. Close to the beach, beautiful view over Miami. The pictures are a bit outdated on Wimdu here, as there are two kingsize two-person beds!
Küchenaussatttung und Wc könnten besser sein, aber ansonsten war alles in Ordnung.
Superb Studio war in einer etwas größeren schon in die Jahre gekommene Anlage.
Pool sowie direkter Strandzugang sind vorhanden.
Sauberkeit lässt ein wenig zu wünschen übrig ansonsten hat aber alles gepasst.

If you don't mind routine sharpening, this creamy pencil concealer has a blendable, slightly silky texture that provides substantial coverage without looking too thick or feeling greasy. It is slightly prone to creasing into lines around the eye, but tends to stay put once it's set, so fading isn't an issue.
The thickeners and wax-like ingredients in this concealer make it not well-suited for use on acne; a liquid concealer is better and there are plenty of options that provide significant coverage (such as Estee Lauder Double Wear).

The BEST. Won't be using anything else!
By RUTH K.
from undisclosed
Comments about Urban Decay 24/7 Concealer:
Although a bit on the pricier side, this concealer has been the best concealer I've used thus far. It applies smoothly & well, colour blends in well, do not need to wait to dry, lasts for the whole day without having to do touch ups. I'm very satisfied and am sure anyone who tries it will be.

Urban Decay At-A-Glance
Strengths: Workable options in almost every category; excellent cheek tint; bonanza for anyone who wants lots of shiny eyeshadows; good mattifier; bronzing powder; brow products; makeup brushes.
Weaknesses: Mostly average to poor mascaras; limited foundation shades and some disappointing lip glosses; the products designed to help makeup last longer don't help.
From its unconventional beginnings in 1996 with the debut tagline of "Does Pink Make You Puke?" Urban Decay has been at the forefront of the ongoing trend toward unconventional colors. Their approach to beauty is still rooted in steering clear of the norm, but for those creative, unconventional folks who want the opportunity to express themselves with well-formulated, edgy products, this is the line to look to.
Now representing itself by the decidedly tamer "Beauty with an Edge" slogan, the line still offers several shiny options (which excel by virtue of how well they cling to skin), but the items that really deserve your attention include some of their mascaras, bronzing powder, blush, and brow products. The brush collection is highly recommended and priced on the low end when compared to other department-store lines, and Urban Decay counters (as opposed to Sephora stores, where the line is typically sold) offer helpful literature about how to design a complete makeup look. The colors may be unconventional and more clownish than classy, but their placement advice is right-on.
Shortcomings of this edgy line include the lack of lipsticks and some glittery products that apply terribly. Those who appreciate products that make a statement (though it may not always be one that puts you in your most flattering light) should explore the best of what is offered here, as should those whose makeup concepts occasionally lean toward the adventurous side.

Topic: Database/Data relation mapping
Okay, I'm new to rails, but I'm starting a project. I have a question.
Okay, lets say I have a database of people. Each row is a different person with columns such as name, address, etc. Now, there's also a column for spouse, so this column needs to hold the id of another person from the same table. How would I implement a drop down list of the "name" column which would enter the id of the spouse? Assume I'm just working from a basic scaffold (because I am right now). Also, what would be the proper naming convention for the "spouse" column in the database?

Forten Synthetic Gut Sweet 17 String
Comments: Wow -- super impressed for a string with such a low price point. Use it in a full bed at around 60
lbs on a Volkl. The feel is sensational and it offers nice spin as well. Just mated it with poly mains (Isospeed Hybrid Control)
and I am still evaluating, but so far so good. Definitely try this string if you like a soft feel at a great price point.
Comments: Awesome string to use for a cross string. I would not recommend a full bed for players hitting with
topspin, but would make for a great cross string to give a little more zip to the ball. I have blended this with Gamma Moto
and Luxilon Alu Power, both set ups feel really good! With the price of this string, I think purchasing the 17g is worth the
added benefit of the string despite the durability. I am a former collegiate tennis player and now coach. I use this as a cross
string personally often and use in many of my student's racquets.
Comments: I got a reel of this to try out, and I figured, if I don't like it, at least I can practice stringing with it. I
love it! It is very soft, and elastic, which translates into comfortable. Great cross for poly hybrids, it softens and takes the
sting out of most polys. Anyone I have strung this for has loved it. Comparing it to Gosen and Prince synthetics, it is less
crisp, but has the same playability. They are all good strings, it just depends what you are looking for. Great string, get a
reel if you string racquets. I like the 17 more than the 16, as it is easier to get spin, and is a little livelier. Get the 16 if you
need more durability.
Comments: Unless you're getting paid to play on tour, most mortals can deal with this string. It's cheap,
comfortable and durable. I laugh at folks who spend a lot on string and then ask what I have in my racquet. They are
blown away!
Comments: I am a senior 55+ player and play with this in an oversize Head Microgel frame at 57 lbs and it's
awesome. Easy on the elbow and great feel. Ball pockets very nicely and it provides ample spin to get the ball up and
away. Sweet
17 will allow you to take, with confidence, a full cut from the baseline and it's very crisp on the volley. Durability is decent,
not great. I get about 10 sets (or 7 hours), on average, out of each string job. For me, the price makes the frequent
tolerable. This string is one of the best values out there.
Comments: Like the white the best. I guess it is the coating on it but it is a little more firm and it plays great.
of the best bargains on the market! Soft and arm friendly, good pop and good durability for a syn gut!
Comments: This is my favorite string to hybrid with a spinny co-poly. It really softens the string bed and
feel. It also really helps if you have arm problems.
Comments: Look no further, this is the best string you can get if you like a comfortable feel. It's only $3 but
like none of the other basic synthetics and I would even compare this string to more expensive multis like Gamma
Professional or
Babolat Excel or Technifibre NRG, really! Try it for yourself, it's worth it!
Comments: I like to keep it simple and I love great quality. It is the last piece to bridge me and my racquet
makes me feel like I'm holding a magic wand. This is a very playful string, I'm having fun on the court like a kid! It is just
like the
Nike Oscillate, the best you can get. I play the 17g indoors and the 16g on clay. I have been reading all the comments so
times and I just had to share and express myself.
Comments: I have to say that for the money, this string is awfully hard to beat. Good power and control.
Somewhere between the softness of a multi and a stiffer sythetic. Very good balance.
Comments: I used PSGD faithfully for years, but it always felt a little too stiff for my liking. I now use Forten
17, and I really enjoy its feel, pop, and comfort. I hope they continue to make this string for years to come.
Comments: I really really like this string! It is a great bargain and a great string. I use it in a hybrid in the
but have used it in a full string bed too. I loved the feel of a full string bed but the strings moved too much for my liking,
but it
felt so sweet! But I continually use it in crosses. It is soft and springy, giving great feel and helping the poly in the mains
to hold
tension. Get this stuff! awesome!
Comments: I have this on the crosses at 52 pounds with MSV Focus Hex 1.23 on the
mains on my HEAD MG Radical MP. The feel and control is unbelievable.
And a lot of pop and power too. I have been using Prince Syn Gut w/ Duraflex 17 on the
crosses but now its history.
Comments: After playing for 2 years with Sensation and RIP Control my
daughter (12 y.o. tour player) tried Sweet 17 and now she doesn't want
to move to any other strings. Strung it at 50 lb. mains / 49 lb.
crosses on a Wilson BLX Blade Team and the result is plush, tender to the
arm, and great working for a girl stick.
Great, great string for a greatest price! Thank you, Forten!
Comments: Closest you will get to natural gut, but 30x cheaper! Great with a full set, but AWESOME in a
hybrid! GET
Comments: I have used quite a variety of high end high dollar string in my head i165 racquetball racquets, dont want to mention other product names but they cover the top 3 brands, I have not found anything that plays better than the sweet 17 that I strung up tonight. The racquet is amazing with this string power and control are both there even at 35lbs there is no harshness and plenty of power, I have several of the same racquets strung with diff strings all strung on the same machine so I can side by side compare, I will have to do a follow up review on durability. But if someone tells you this is not a racguetball string I say BS. I only wish I ordered more to try in my E-Force racquets.
From: Mark, Naples, FL, USA, 12/11
Comments: I've been using the Forten's Sweet 17/16 string for over twelve years. I have tried other
strings, but none could justify their cost when compared to the Forten. Some were as good but for a much higher price. I
did find
one string that played as good as the Forten sweet 17, and it was made by Head. But that string was much more per set.
cost is way cheaper.
Comments: I have to add to my last post...They break easily and I am not a breaker. So far the 16g
lasted and plays just as well.
Comments: Performs best at lower tensions, as the crosses in a hybrid with tough polys. Great
and control. GREAT comfort.
Comments: This is one of the best values around in tennis. Very soft synthetic gut that is a great
cross in
any hybrid setup. Don't waste your money on natural gut or a multifilament since you'll end up cutting it out after a few
hours of
hitting when the poly goes dead.
Comments: Favorite Hybrid, Pro Hurricane Tour in mains, natural gut in crosses, in Microgel Prestige
M: 56lbs X: 54lbs. Thought I'd try Forten Sweet 17 in crosses to save money and was amazed, just as good as natural gut
at 1/5th
the price, I will stick with it.
Comments: Been using many poly hybrids such as CyberFlash, ALU BB, and others hybrided with a
of syn gut and multis. Eventually experienced forearm soreness, so decided to go back to full syn gut. After much
experimentation, gave the Forten Syn Gut Sweet 17 a go as a full job. Didn't expect much as the price suggests a lower
string. What a pleasant surprise! Wonderfully soft string offering excellent dwell time and subsequent great control and
Very good controlled power and the confidence to hold shots on the stringbed and place with great accuracy on the court.
ability a little lower than many strings and more string movement than I'd like, but these minor negatives do not detract too
from the Sweet.. Summing up, an excellent string offering a high level of playability in a full bed at a very low price. Try
them, you
won't be disappointed.
Comments: I used this on my Ntour 90 Full String Job at 63lbs yup 63, and guess what? This string
Lux ALu fluoro 17 in my opinion. It gives the soft feel even at high tension. Just be carefully not to over clamp this string
due to its
already freaking thin to start with. Overall satisfied with the result, but snapped after 11 hours of usage. I'm a strong 4.5
and this
string is good if you string for yourself, like me.
Comments: I've played with a lot of different string over the years including Babolat and Klip natural
various hybrids including Luxilon and Babolat polyesters. It's strange to me that Forten Sweet 16 and 17 are as good or
better in
playability, power, control and feel than anything I've used. It feels so much like Babolat gut to me with a little more power.
always go back to it, and it's my string of choice. I am baffled as to why it's not used more on tour. I know it's used a lot by
players. Maybe Forten doesn't offer sponsorships to pros. Durability is good in warm temperatures, but it can break more
easily in
colder weather. It's also great used as a cross string with polyesters and kevlar. As for the price, incredible!
Comments: I use this as a cross string in my Head MG MP, and it's perfect. I use Kirschbaum Proline
II at
53lbs and this at 57. Durability, spin, control, and comfort, with emphasis on comfort, are great. I too, have tried all the
hyped up
"expensive" strings, and this is just as good. Don't take my word for it though, try it out for yourself. 4.5 all court-er, hit flat
with heavy spin on both wings and on serve.
Comments: Good control, spin, durability, and comfort. I am using a Wilson Tour 90, where string
spacing affects and extends durability. Cheap compared to most multi-filament strings without much difference in
performance. I
will be using this string for now until a cheaper but better performance string appears. My wallet is tired of those expensive
hyped high-tech multi's.
Comments: These strings are as soft as cooked spaghetti. Sweet 17 is like butter! I have these
strings at
54 in my crosses with Hurricane 18 mains at 52 in my Volkl Catapult V1 MP. This is a comfortable spin machine at these
Sweet 17 is the softest cross string I've found.
Comments: Great string for the money. Plays soft, and lively, but it is fantastic as a cross string on
stringing. Best hybrid combo is Babolat Pro Hurricane on main or Luxilon TiMO on main with this string on crosses. The
syn. gut 17 really helps soften polyester strings and make them more easier on the arms. I'm an all court 4.0 player, and
play with
POG mid. I string at 57 lbs., main and crosses.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: A real momento would have been niceIn full: First time I run this course and found it really nice, challenging at times but just enough to keep you interested! I see a lot of people are commenting about the lack of medals and must agree, for such a steep entry of **£20** on the day, for an unaffiliated member who maybe run their very first race and getting no reward, no momento to keep or show to the family or friends it's a bit wrong. Even the bag was an attempt to self advertise Invicta Club rather than the race. I did a few other local 10m races and at least you got a nice technical top or £5 Sweatshop vouchers. I hope the organisers will listen to the feedbacks and take it on board for next yearDate of review: January 29, 2013
In short: Run the Wingham 10k for the most original medal you can get!! :)In full: This is my first time I run the Wingham 10k and not it left a lovely impression. The course is not flat neither very hilly but sometimes it's just those long long long inclines which takes it out on you, they seemed to last forever but I am sure that the extremely warm weather conditions 28c made it more challenging.Friendly marshals and overall good atmosphere. Easy to find and easy to park. Free massage gazebo and food mini van, for those waiting.There were two water stations one very early (for those doing the 5k) and one very late (I think about 8.85K?) I would have preferred if there had been one at like 6/7k. Thank you Wingham Trotters and see you next year.Date of review: September 12, 2012
In short: Nice location and beautiful yet challeanging runIn full: Now I understand why Tri's are so darn expensive, with weather on Sunday I would have not got out of bed if I had paid a tenner for it!It was about 15c and constant drizzle. It seems well organized, with all transitions within easy reach of the pool and out for the run. Pool was divided in 8 lanes, going up the same lane twice then ducking under to get to the next. Some cheeky sods where doing tumble turns at the other end of the pool where they could not be seen although it didnt effect me. Out of the pool and T1 was right outside the double doors to the car park. Out to the main road to a long stretch downhill, right to the roundabout (which unfortunately saw 4 accidents also made worse by they weather conditions) then all around till the straight home stretch again. Bike route was up and down due to small inclines but at times the road surface was so uneven and on a slope from right to the left that going downhill was not gaining any speed! Going back to T2, Cross Country Trainers on, and off we went on the last leg. This time we ventured out to the right of the car park, gentle uphill incline, then just before the first house we were directed on a footpath through the woods. The scenery was lovely and the smell of wet woodland even better, but this time the up and downs were not gentle anymore and quite steep! There was quite a bit of sand and mud so as time it felt like skying and had to tip toe like a ballerina, however it made it more fun and being 'forced' to take it easy made if for a quicker recovery from the bike and settled within about a mile. Also the distances on my and other Triathletes in my Club - Garmin came up at 13m whilst the run was 2.80m so not entirely the 20k and 5K as expected, not a problem though. All in all, as usual am very happy to have done this event as I thoroughly enjoyed even though my cycling and running shoes are still wet after 2 days, it was great fun and look forward to doing it again next year, hopefully with better weather.Date of review: June 6, 2012
In short: A challeanging tri for a beginner In full: This was my first tri, although I can swim (not fast), can do the run with relatively little training, the cycle was my strenght as this is what I do most and love. The day was sunny, no winds, warm temperature. Got there well in time for my 'official' start however the organizers turned up a little late, walked past the little queue that had formed at reception and disappeared behind the corner....everyone was still waiting for something to happen then we started to notice other people starting to arrive and wonder behidn the corner...yes you guessed it, they were giving out the race packs there and didnt say anything, no sign, no info anywhere :(We started at the pool about 20min late than our race start time, got out, put my trainers on straight awas as it was bit of a trek to get to the (tennis?) court area where the bikes were. Gone out with the bike straight into an uphill, Not an 'ondulation' an Uphill! a lot of people were taken out as they didnt start on a low gear enough. Done the cycle, quite hilly, took a lot of casualties out, saw a few roadies with doubles (looking fit) just give up and push the bike. I only managed very slowly as I took my MTB with sleeks on which has a triple chainset! Then last thing was the run. My last transition was very fast as I didnt need to get changed at all. The run was over 5k as there was a last minute change of course and it was not flat as predicted but guess what? A couple of hills there as well.I finished in rubbish time but was elated to have completed it. It didnt leave me a feel good factor though as I thought I would have done better as the race info was not so 'open' about being so hilly and challeanging. If they had said it I would have probably not done it. And if it wasnst so hilly I know I would have done better! We also ahd to wait a couple of days for our results as the equipment got wet by the poolside. I am very tempted to give this a try next year, we shall see.... :)Date of review: October 5, 2011

I had this email and document through from Paul Matosic - he copied in Mirja too but i'm guessing she's pretty tied up in F-land at present. Is he scheduled for the second suitcase series? What do we think about this? Is he suitcase 02? i can't tell from the calender - no name there. Have copied in my initial reply at the end...
Paul's email:
Hi Mike,
this could either be very good or bloody awkward
I have just been invited to develop a project for a biennial in Brazil.
It is more or less the same as i would be doing with TK except that it will take the developing installation as a live stream to be projected in their space.
Okay you might say..
This too is in October.
I am hunting around for a space where I can develop the physical installation but need the equipment to film stream the digital stuff.
Also the whole thing is developed as a performative event over the period of the exhibition. 16th Oct to 28th November
How about I/we try to get ACE or scots equivalent to develop the whole thing with you, I know this is a big thing to ask but the benefits for TK could be large It might attract fairly good coverage.. etc. ... etc. I am guessing that this might be impossible as you will have scheduled the space for others but well its worth a shot.
Doing it this way would enable both events to take place simultaneously and I could be in EDB to work on the installation and ivigilate, guard valuable equipment.
As I say I am seeking all methods to get this one moving but as this is holiday season things are even slower than usual which is saying something as everything is more or less at a standstill as it is.
So get back to me ASAP and lets see how we can do this.
I attach my proposal
Virtual redundancy
First initiated in collaboration with the Thompson gallery Weston Mass USA in 2008. responding to the theme of Climate Change. my invite to contribute evolved from being on site ( a hypocritical carbon footprint) to the proposition of live streaming.
Projected project.
Make an installation here in the UK and send the images to the venue where they are projected . Working with an on going project Deconstructed New Technology, obsolete office equipment is dismantled and the components arranged across the floor of a space. The entire process is filmed from directly above, live streamed and projected onto the floor of the gallery. Taking advantage of the generic and global disposition, the same type of equipment is deconstructed by students in the gallery and these physical objects arranged around and or across the projected image; thus the virtual image is extended into the physical. In recognition of time zones live communications may be limited to just a few hours of the day To remedy this instructions about various ways of arranging the components are sent by e-mail and advise on how to disassemble the equipment is also given as reference material. During live streaming episodes feedback about the progress of the two halves of the installation is exchanged. This project is both performative and durational, interactive and sculptural, virtual and physical.
Throughout the event the dual installation projections will evolve and as each are being filmed this is archived. Should the work be selected for distribution the archived footage would be edited to create a two screen installation, ( which can be floor based. each showing the development of the installation. Physical additions of further deconstructed new technology is optional.
Should a suitable venue might not be available to coincide with the biennial an alternative strategy is for me to make a transformative installation in advance. recording the activity as it progresses. This footage will be rendered onto DVD (or hard disk) and sent to you for projection. This tactic also avoids a number of technical issues with regards live streaming. It also makes possible the option of me to be on site to create the installation.
Digital projector and computer with live streaming capability and storage capacity.
The projector to be above the installation area with a mirror set at 45O to enable the image to be projected onto the floor below.. A camera is likewise rigged up to take in the same area and its surroundings.
Around and across this projected image various items of redundant office equipment are placed.
These are deconstructed by volunteers.
A small tool kit to enable the deconstruction.
My reply:
Hi Paul,
Sorry for not getting back to your ealier - I've been away teaching and Mirja has had to go home for family reasons.
Have you booked a slot with us through Mirja? I'm asking as it's not on our calender at present, but I know she had mentioned something about us working with.
Do you need to change the dates? we are currently scheduled throughto december, so unless suitcase 2 on our calender is you it's probably a bit of a non-starter. What would the funding application be for? Just the equipment? how much would it cost? how would it be installed 'on the ceiling' and who by? Please bear in mind this is an uninvigliated space too.
Not sure how much we could help with that as we have no track record with SAC whatsoever. By all means go for it at your end, but I don't think we would have the time or expertise to initiate anything here (we're all just volunteers
Let me know what you think,

Thank you Girl Scout Volunteer Sandra Grice for sending us this information. This is a horrible situation, but it could be used to teach our girls about this type of environmental disaster, while learning the importance of community service.
As we all know there is a high probability now that we will be effected by the oil spill off the coast of Louisiana. As a local environmental organization, Southeastern Wildlife Conservation Group is in contact with US Fish and Wildlife, Alabama Division of Natural Resources and Mobile Bay NEP on a daily basis offering any and all assistance that can be provided.
At this time we are on standby as these organizations await expert help with this type of environmental disaster and it has been decided what actions will have to be taken. In an effort to be proactive we would like to go ahead and ask any who would be willing to volunteer their time in the event that a cleanup does occur to go ahead and sign up. We will make a master list of volunteers and have this available not only for Southeastern Wildlife Conservation Group but also to any of the organizations seeking volunteers.
Please forward this to any you think would be interested in volunteering their time. Let's hope and pray these measures will not be needed but at the same time let's be prepared if we do have to act!
To volunteer, contact: Shannon Ready, volunteer with Southeastern Wildlife Conservation Group
Also, thank you to volunteer Desiree Bishop for letting us know about this volunteer opportunity:
The Environmental Studies Center needs volunteers (minimum age 18) to help with Wildlife Rescue (some activities may include cleaning birds). Call 251-221-5000 and leave your name and phone number if you would like to help.
If your troop is planning on volunteering to clean up, please contact Molly Smart at 800-239-6636, extension 1402.

Research Summary
The exquisite sensitivity and frequency resolving power of the mammalian inner ear depends upon interactions between the two receptor cells of the organ of Corti, inner (IHC) and outer (OHC) hair cells. While inner hair cells appear to function solely as receptors of acoustic information, OHC's function both as receptors and effectors, producing motile responses as a function of transmembrane potential fluctuations.
These motile responses modify the mechanical input to the inner hair cells which receive the majority of afferent innervation, thereby enhancing the gross frequency tuning afforded by basilar membrane mechanics. Dr. Joseph Santos-Sacchi studies the effector role of the OHC with electrophysiological (patch clamp) and displacement measurement techniques using isolated OHCs from the guinea pig. He also works on the motor protein (prestin) responsible for the cells' mechanical activity, utilizing mutational analysis and expression systems to understand how it works.

Topic: Shared Hosting Deployment
I Love Ruby on Rails so far and I am only starting with the basics but one thing which is going to sound stupid is I can't get my head around deploying it on a shared hosting provider.
To make it simple let's say I just have a plain RoR hello world which I wanna test on the web itself using my web host idealhosting.co.uk
I have contacted them and they say that they support RoR but havn't been any help in explaining how to get it running. Detail would be extremely good as I would love to understand and start playing around with real world apps not just apps local on my laptop.
Thank you for the time and sorry for what is possibly an extremely basic question. ps. Hi I'm new lol

By the late 1990s, The Kordz were known across Lebanon as the hardest working band around, as their high-energy gigs drew an ever-increasing throng of fans and increasingly high profile gigs, including opening for the likes of international alt-rock band Placebo and the legendary Robert Plant.
Never a band to follow musical trends, The Kordz have instead been at the forefront of the emergence of Middle Eastern alt-rock and metal, effortlessly blending together guitar riff-driven rock with incredibly funky grooves and Arabic instrumentation, rhythms, and melodies.
The Kordz live shows have inspired legions of dedicated fans, and the group is known for shaking more than a few rafters during the course of a night's work. One of their early signature songs, "Last Call," written by a friend of the band, Rami Karami, epitomized its successful combination of styles, and was a favorite across the Mediterranean and even Europe when it was first released in 2004 as a maxi single.

The Public in the Copyright Issue
While I was photographing the cycling for the Bay Crits, I received a question, Brad said "I'd like to see your thoughts about the 'ethics' of publishing photos that identify individuals", and then Heather said that she also wanted to know and asked if I could do a post on it. So for those of you are interested, I thought I would do a post on Copyright and taking photos in public.
This is one of the photos that came into question. The riders can clearly be identified, so can I publish them without their permission. The answer to that question is yes. The race takes place on a public road, and, according to our copyright laws (Australian) "A person's likeness is not protected by copyright." It is generally considered fine to take photos of people when they are in public.
The only time this becomes as issue is if you are going to use that image for commercial purposes, which would mean making money from it. If you are going to do that, they you probably need to get a model release to cover yourself.
There are different rules if you ask people to sit for you or pose. Did they pay you? Did you pay them? Who owns the copyright of the photo?
Another area to consider is what is considered a public area. You can take photos of people out in the street, streets are generally considered public, but a shopping centre (mall) aren't usually, they are owned by private companies and they allow the public to enter. I know many shopping centres don't allow photography. The image above was taken at a market. The market is held in a public area, so it would be safe to assume that it is okay to take photographs. Though, it is nice to ask people first, but having said that, I don't think you should feel obligated to.
Some buildings are owned by the federal, state or local governements, and would be considered public buildings, but that doesn't mean you can go in there and take photos. Often buildings have rules about the taking of photographs and you should find out what they are.
The place Brad was concerned about was cemeteries, are they private or public? Good question, I would have thought that most are public, well the ones in this country. We don't have many private cemeteries. By law everyone has to be buried in a public cemetery, unless special permission is gained. So you would assume that you don't need permission to take photos of people in them, however this then raises other ethical questions, is it okay to photograph people in times of grief? Or when they are visiting people who have died? I can't answer those questions. By law, it is probably fine, but ethically, it is a grey area.
Peoples' likenesses
People and people's likenesses are not protected by copyright. Sometimes, however, other areas
of law, such as defamation, can affect the circumstances in which a person's likeness can be used.
That is according to the law here. To find out what the Australian Copyright laws are you look up the Australian Copyright Council. They are have lots of information on copyright in Australia. Another place to check out is "Australian Street Photography Legal Issues" the legal isssues are more for NSW, but most of the laws aren't that different from state to state.
So, for those of you who aren't in Australia, where do you go?
Copyright Act of Canada (Wikipedia page, sorry, couldn't find the gov office)
Copyright Council of New Zealand
You get the idea. It is a very good idea to find out what the laws are and make sure you know them. Even if you aren't doing commercial photography, you should know where you stand as far as copyright goes. You should also know how to protect your own copyright, or that of your images.
To Brad and Heather, I hope this has helped you to understand a little about copyright laws.

When you do get the shots using riva post them?
Yeah this little card is awesome! lol
it looks complex
maybe after my brain cools from taking finals i'll see what damage i can do with it lol just kiddin'
so how does 2.088ghz (effective) sound for the memory? lol And just think, on another thread someone was happy with 780 core? ha try that plus 30 hehe..
screenshots and a writeup coming soon, I just can't bring myself to make such a long post just yet :p.. stess'll do that i suppose lol.
lol, yep where would we be without coffee? I don't know abt everyone else but I'd still be sleeping! haha.
So that overclocking info is still a work-in-progess. Form after form of college paperwork has been keeping me busy!
So earlier this month my keyboard finally gave out on me (the O, P, Spacebar, and Backspace keys stopped working lol). I tried giving it a good cleaning, but to no avail. So I ended up pulling out an old microsoft "ergonomic" keyboard (you know, the ones w/ the split keyboard, I think the newer ones are under the "natural comfort" moniker or something similar). I say "ergonomic" b/c to me they are harder to type on than the regular "less ergonomic" keyboards :p. But, and just my luck, that keyboard then failed on me (but I was kind of expecting that one to die soon anyway as I had that keyboard when I had windows 3.1! lol, so needless to say it's been through a lot, When I got XP i got a regular keyboard and put the MS one away, and it's been sitting in the closet or garage ever since!) I still had one other keyboard but it was being used by family members for their computer so I couldn't use that one. I decided to look at this as an opportunity to get a nice, new keyboard so I headed over to newegg and picked up a new keyboard.
I decided on the Saitek Eclipse, which although not wireless, so far is a good keyboard imo. Here are a few pics:

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Good marathon preparation as well as a good race in its own rightIn full: 2 lap course between Kingston and Hampton Court along the Thames. Some lovely bits of scenary along one side of the Thames as well as some more boring parts on the roads. Well organised with water and energy drink stations. Great goody bag this year as well.A good race to do as a build up to a spring marathon with good support even for us people at the back of the pack.This year's event was a shortened due to emergency roadworks, think it was 15.7 miles in the end.Date of review: April 2, 2012
In short: Great alternative to London for a Spring marathonIn full: Interesting course taking in the town, the clifftop grassy section and the promenade along the sea. Support was v. good with only a few areas where it was lacking. The only bad section was the route out to the Power Station but I guess it's difficult to do another route that's not too hilly.Organisation at the start was good and although there were big queues for the portaloos they moved quickly and I got to the pen in good time. Nice to see Steve Cram as well!The only reason I wouldn't do this again is that the weather is just too unpredictable.Thanks to all the organisers, supporters and everyone who came out to cheer.Date of review: April 11, 2011
In short: Hilly with nice scenic parts in the woodsIn full: Didn't seem v. well organised and started late which was unfortunate as it was cold and rainy. Also the KM markers were pretty inaccurate which meant pacing was difficult. Surprisingly nice course considering it's in Watford. It was definitely worth the trip for the bits in the woods with the bluebells - glorious!Nice medal and T-shirt at the end.Date of review: May 5, 2009
In short: Hilly but funIn full: The first half is tough with a couple of steep climbs and one v. long gradual hill. But after about 6 miles there are some v. good downhill sections where you can make up time.Sunny day with v. little wind so the last couple of miles along the seafront weren't too bad. They were still a bit tough though if you've overdone it on the hills and it's horrible being able to see the finish from such a long way out.Good crowds along the route, great atmospehere, especially at the tops of all those hills.Date of review: March 16, 2009
In short: Impeccable organisationIn full: It might be a small field and without the huge crowds of a big city marathon but this really is a special race.Tough course in the heat but this was the only thing I could fault. Lovely atmosphere, great marshals and the chance to have your own drinks at the water stations. A good race for slower runners as marshals stayed out until the end, v. much appreciated. Local support was good too, many thanks to the people with the hoses!The only reason I wouldn't do this race again is worry about another hot day.Date of review: May 12, 2008
In short: What goes up must come down!In full: There's an uphill start and an uphill finish and I don't think any part of the course in-between is flat. But that does mean there are some great downhill sections. Well-organised, friendly marshals and a great T-Shirt. It's good to have a race like this in central London rather than having to trek miles outside and rely on dodgy Sunday train services. Oh, and as it was my first 5 mile race, I even got a PB!Date of review: March 5, 2007
In short: What goes up must come down!In full: Once the course gets out of Watford it goes through some nice country areas. 4 big hills to get over but once you get to 10 miles it's pretty much flat to the finish. The end is a bit cruel where they make you run round the edge of the park for another half mile when you can already see the finish.The race HQ had good facilities and lots of room, nice to have so many female toilets for once. Marshalls were very encouraging and friendly and it's a lovely touch for the PA to call out your name just before the finish.Date of review: February 6, 2007
In short: My favourite 10 mile race.In full: The new start was a little bit crowded and it was difficult to overtake for the first mile or so. After this though the race was great. Well organised and supported, nice rural course and no real hills. The bigger field meant there was more company at the back which is nice for us slower runners. Loved the cakes at the end too!Date of review: January 29, 2007
In short: It's got to be the fastest 10K course in UKIn full: Only a few minor niggles which seem to be the same each year: the water station is a bit too early; I never see the the 5K and 6K markers(do they really exist?!?); and the pedestrians are a bit of a hazard. This year the baggage truck seemed a bit slow but maybe that's because I finished earlier than normal.But these are far outweighed by the great course, cheerful marshalls, funny bloke on the PA system and the chance to see the front-runners going past in the opposite direction. Fantastic weather again, too!Thanks to the Brighton and Hove AC for organising such a good race and thanks to all the helpers and volunteers etc.Date of review: November 21, 2006
In short: Very well organised with great atmosphereIn full: Good route, great support and nice T-shirt at the end. Will be back next year! This is a great run for us slower people. There seems to be loads of us so you don't get lonely at the back and there's still lots of support.Only downside, the slightly whiffy toilets at the start...Date of review: October 16, 2006

When I came over to the Netherlands, I had no idea what to expect. I didn't know any of players that soon would become my teammates. I didn't know anything about the area I was going to live in. I knew little about the family I was going to live with. In a sense, I just trusted and hoped that everything would work out somehow.
Fortunately it has. In fact, I have been told many times how lucky I am to have joined the team at HGC. Although HGC finished as one of the lower seeds in the league last season, the team this year has quite a few new players and whole new outlook for this season. There is still a lot of potential that has yet to be obtained and although we haven't had the best start to the season, there are many games left to be played and we are headed in the right direction.
What has been most surprising to me though is just how close everyone is on the team. With players living all over Holland and commuting to and from the club, as well as a variety of age ranges and new players, I only assumed that the team would naturally be a bit divided outside of hockey. This is not the case. Personally, I have spent time with almost all of my teammates outside of hockey. Whether it be to grab a bite to eat, go to a movie, go see some other hockey games, or just hang out, I can always find something to do with someone. It has definitely made my transition to a new lifestyle and a new team much easier. Plus, it has been a lot of fun! :)
Another reason I was fortunate to join HGC as opposed to many other clubs was their openness and welcoming of foreign players. It will be the 3rd year that players from New Zealand have been on the team, so all the girls are used to speaking a lot of English. This made it much easier when I came in, plus there are other girls (the Kiwis and a girl from Northern Ireland) on the team who always speak English! There are other clubs that aren't as inviting to foreigners and others that just aren't used to having them, so they forget to speak English. (Good thing for me everyone here knows English pretty well so I don't have to worry too much about communicating with anyone!) So in that respect, communicating with the team is pretty easy. Although, sometimes I like when they speak Dutch so I can try to figure out what they are saying! Occasionally they ask me simple things in Dutch just to make me figure them out! But it's all in good fun so I can learn! :)
All in all, I feel very fortunate to have to opportunity to play in Holland, live with a great family, and be a part of an awesome team. Don't worry, I can't wait to come back and play for the red, white, and blue every chance I get! And I still miss all my teammates from back home!
Just have to give a little shout out to all my US teammates... ik mis jullie! ... or I miss you!!!
After all the excitement of the weekend and meeting up with all of the Americans, I needed a few days to relax and recover. Fortunately, that is just what I got! The family that I live with was actually at EuroDisney in Paris for a few days because the kids had a week off from school for a fall break. Without any responsibilities at the house, I was free to sleep in and come and go as I pleased. Ultimately, I decided to just take the time to relax since most days I am constantly on the go. I also took the time to catch up on some TV shows online that I have missed the past couple months! Mostly Dexter!!
The family returned Wednesday night and although I normally have Thursday off (since the kids are at school and the youngest that I normally watch, Quinn is at daycare), the kids still had off from school so they were home. It was actually a really nice change of pace though because I'm used to chasing around Quinn, who is only a year old, and instead I could actually play and interact with the older two (ages 5 and 8) which I don't get to do as often. The morning was spent drawing. At first we were just doodling, but once the kids found out I'm pretty decent at sketching cartoon pictures, I was then asked to draw everything from Scooby Doo to Minnie Mouse, a monkey, a cat, a dog... and just about everything in between! Finally I convinced them to try for themselves, and I was quite impressed at how well they turned out! My favorite was Declan's Daffy Duck! (say that 5 times fast!) After some grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch, we needed to something a bit more active, but of course it was cold and rainy outside! Lilysky then asked if we could go to the pool. I was pretty confused why anyone would want to swim in that weather, but quickly learned that there is an indoor pool right down the street from the house! So we hoped on our bikes and headed to the pool! I was impressed with the brand new facility, complete with a slide, lazy river, hot tub, diving boards, kiddie pool, and separate lap pool. The pool was heated as well! As the kids proceeded to go up and down the slide what seemed like a hundred times, I got a nice little recovery workout in, kicking and shaking my legs out. Just what I needed! I never really thought to go to the pool on a cold, rainy day (especially living in Southern California!), but as it starts to get colder here, the pool just might be where I head on those days!
Although I always seem to find myself around kids, being around them day in and day out gives you a new perspective on a lot of things. They see things very simply, but have a lot of energy and are eager to learn. Ironically, this is the same way I have approached hockey here. Often when things go wrong on the pitch, or in my case I'm playing in a completely new team, if you just keep things simple- doing the simple play or simple pass- the game begins to open itself up and everything becomes more clear. Along with that, I always have to bring a lot of energy and an eagerness to learn. Part of the reason I came here was to become a better hockey player. To do that, I have to put in the work and the effort every time I am on the field. I also have to keep an open mind and learn from the new style of play, different tactics, and players around me. If I can mimic the mind of child, by not over thinking things, there is no limit to what I can continue to do on the field.
So as much as I can teach these kids, every day they teach me and remind me that sometimes it is best just to keep things simple!
