7-21-13 Proctor, MN
Four of the Sunday night feature winners at the Proctor Speedway had won previously at the
speedway in 2013. Only Modified feature winner Kevin Eder of Ashland, WI was a first time
Veteran racer Tim McMann of Duluth won his second Late Model main event of the season
as the defending champion tries to repeat. Defending Super Stock champion Scott Lawrence of
Superior added his third feature win of the season to his total and Danny Vang from Brainerd,
MN did the same with his third win of the season at the speedway. In the Pure Stock division
Esten Nelson also recorded his third victory of the season.
The first main event to take to the track was the 20 lap Midwest Modified feature which got
off to a very rocky start as there were three caution flags before the first lap was completed
resulting in four cars registering did not finish in the results column.
Jake Gondik led the first few laps from the outside of the front row over Dan Kingsley, Danny
Vang, Chris Bretting and Cody Carlson. Carlson was in a pack along with Deven VanHouse,
Tyler Luger and Jesse Ogston. Carlson sort of popped out of the pack into the fifth spot with the
others close behind. Gondik continued in the lead while Vang moved around Kingsley to second
as Vang got by Kingsley with VanHouse and Carlson fourth and fifth while Ogston was locked
in a skirmish with Josh Heavirlind for sixth. Vang led at the halfway point over Gondik,
Kingsley, VanHouse, Carlson and Ogston. Vang pulled away from the field as the laps began to
wind down and Kingsley encountered problems with the 68k and pulled into the pits moving
everyone up a spot as Vang crossed the finish line well ahead of Gondik for his third win of the
season while VanHouse, Ogston and Carlson finished in the top five.
The 20 lap Super Stock feature stuttered to the start as John Toppozini spun in turn four. The
second try at a start was successful and Joe Oliver went to the lead after replacing Toppozini on
the pole followed by Shawn McFadden, Tyler Kintner, Donnie Lofdahl and Pat Heikkinen.
Defending champion Scott Lawrence was on the move on the outside, quickly up to fifth from
the fourth row in the first three laps. While Oliver continued to lead, the top groove was working
for Lawrence as he moved up to third while McFadden hassled Oliver for the top spot. The
second caution flag was a Canadian connection as Toppozini from Thunder Bay and Norm
Heiskanen from Sylvan Lake Alberta tangled in turn four with Heiskanen charge with the
incident. At the green Oliver still led but Lawrence annexed second and then used the momentum
on the high side to sail past Oliver to the lead. Once out front Lawrence then began to put some
distance on the rest of the field. Almost unnoticed Kevin Burdick, who was disqualified from the
second heat for an incident with Sevin Salin, had quietly worked his way up to sixth after starting
dead last in the 15th spot. After ten laps, Lawrence held a huge lead over Oliver, McFadden,
Kintner, and Lofdahl. Burdick, a pair of Andys Grymala and LaBarge, Heikkinen and Dan
Yrjanson trailed. Lawrences' lead got bigger but went away when Lofdahl spun on the back
stretch. He would restart at the rear and make it up to ninth. The restart came with nine laps to go
and Lawrence continue to head the field with Kintner taking over second from Oliver while
McFadden fended off Burdick who was now fifth. Another caution flag appeared two laps later
when debris flew off a car on the back stretch. The restart did not go well as Brian Carl and
Toppozini tangled at the exit of turn four. At the restart Lawrence had little trouble pulling away
from Kintner while further back Burdick overtook McFaden for fourth. Lawrence recorded his
third feature win of the season over Kintner, Oliver, Burdick and McFadden.
It was also 20 laps for the Modifieds and kevin Eder took the lead at the start from the pole
over Neil Balduc, Deven VanHouse and Nick Musel while July 21, Darrell Nelson and Brian
Mikkonen battled for fifth. Balduc got pressure from VanHouse as Nelson won the skirmish for
fifth. Eder had a dozen car lengths on VanHouse who had gotten by Balduc into second. Balduc
then began to fell pressure from Musel for third. Musel finally got past Balduc into third and the
race seemed to settle down with no changes in order to the checkered flag. Eder won his first of
the season at Proctor over VanHouse, Musel, Balduc and Nelson.
The Pure Stocks then came onto the speedway with 17 of the 18 cars ready to do battle for 15
laps. There was a caution flag right away after the start as Rita Anderson spun on the front
stretch. On the second try pole sitter Matt Hammitt took the lead over Mark Korte and Justin
Madsen but Josh Loucks moved to the inside and slipped into third. It was Loucks, Hammitt,
Korte, Craig Horak and Madsen in a tight pack with no clear leader. There was a crash in turn
four between Dustin Follett and Glenn Dammer that brought out the caution flag again. On the
restart with only two laps in, Korte took over the lead over Hammitt but Horak edged into second
with Loucks fourth and Esten Nelson into the top five. At the half way point the front runners
were still in a bunch with Korte still leading by a nose. Horak got by to the lead and the scramble
was on and Hammitt was second, Korte third, Nelson fourth and Follett from the outback to the
top five. Horak was well on his way to his second win of the season followed by Loucks, Follett,
Korte and Nelson in the top five.
The final feature for the evening was 25 laps for the Late Models with Tim McMann starting
on the outside of the front row. He jumped into the lead at the green flag and never looked back
as he led every lap for his second win of the season. He was challenged initially by Zach Wohlers
but that fell short as Harry Hanson moved up to work on Wohlers for second allowing McMann
to pull out a healthy lead. The best race on the track was the battle for fourth between Darrell
Nelson and Kyle Peterlin. Peterlin tried everything he could to get by the veteran and that battle
lasted for several laps before Peterlin found an opening to the inside off turn four and made the
pass. While everyone was watching the Nelson/Peterlin skirmish, McMann was blithely cruising
out in front to an easy second feature win of the season. Wohlers, Hansen, Peterlin and Nelson
finished in the top five while Dave Esse, Scott Herrick and Aaron Lillo were the rest of the
finishers as Robbie Cooper did not finish.

Tonight, I'm showing off what I learned at Oakland's Beast Crawl, not by reading poems from my MFA thesis, but by reading brand new work, all about vengeful sex. What can I say? I guess I needed some kind of release. If you can, come hear me read during leg 3 of Beast Crawl at Anger Management & Revenge: Dirty Trixxx.
I do have plenty of reflections about what my new degree means for my life and writing moving forward, though. I'll have lots more time now for sharing about this life here on the blog, but for now I'll leave you with this – a version of the graduate presentation I gave at my last MFA residency. It's edited to remove the poems I included (gotta keep those to myself for now, in case of publication), and it doesn't quite carry the full effect of me delivering all this truth-telling in a little chapel hall full of people, of all places, but you'll get the idea of my journey through all of the learnings of the last couple of years.

If you're new to email campaigns and list building then you should give MailChimp a try. Mail chimp has a free level, and even the paid services are very affordable. Build and manage your lists with MailChimp. This is great if you're running a few campaigns beyond just having people sign up for a newsletter. This is super simple and works great for beginners and more advanced users. If you know what you're doing, or not at all, MailChimp is a great CRM. It's easy to track and segment your lists with MailChimp. They have great support and it's only $10/month for base plan. Create beautiful emails and run trackable campaigns with mail chimp. Mail chimp is definitely a good substitute for those that cannot afford Aweber or ExactTarget, etc. I have used it in before, and would recommend this tool for most people today. I can't stress enough how easy they make it to manage your lists. Side note- if you're new to list building and leveraging emails in business, please do some research first. That way you will understand and know exactly what and why you are doing what you're doing.
Pros :
Cons :
Pinpointe's email marketing solution is one of the few email vendors in the market that is able to meet our closed-loop marketing objectives. Our marketing department needs to accurately track and analyze our email marketing program efficiency and Pinpointe has advanced targeting and segmentation tools that go beyond the basics of simple email marketing. It's also important for us to be able to send personalized and targeted emails on behalf of our sales and lead development teams. With Pinpointe we can choose, for each contact in our database, whom each email campaign appears to be coming from.
MailChimp mobile app seemed like a great idea when I downloaded it. Unfortunately, it seems to be the very basics of the service - on a mobile device.I still keep it on my phone in case I need to check to make sure a campaign sent. But that's just about the only thing I feel comfortable using it for. I wish I could create a campaign from scratch. Albeit, I'm not sure how the user experience would look on my end - lots of intricacies involved in terms of moving and placing texts and pictures. Still, for this app to be accessible and beneficial to me, I'll need a lot more features built in that allow me to create and revise campaigns.Even better - it would be neat to be able to take a photo and have an option to sync that photo into an email campaign, from the photo app itself. Perhaps MailChimp should look horizontally into the photo market, and create less intricate templates that allow a user to take a photo and then immediately merge that photo into a template that is easy to edit, test launch, and revise?For me, the greatest value of mail chimp is actually the integrations it provides with other services like EventBrite, Google Docs, etc. that allow me to leverage multiple technology platforms to capture user data and then manage it inside of MailChimp. I often use it as a "list bed" for storing data that I may even use to launch a "normal" email campaign from my Gmail. So, the app becomes virtually meaningless to me unless it has a mobile-friendly approach to integrations of daily life functions - like taking photos, recording audio, giving presentations and sending them quickly to friends or others to see.Perhaps the app could be pivoted towards a "social" focus while the browser version is the natural choice for "professional" campaigns? Just spitballing, here.

Cons :
I have been using Pinpointe for more than 4 years. I have tested 5 other email service providers and find that Pinpointe has the best, most responsive service and support and the easiest to use interface.

Princeton neuroscientist Carlos Brody has always been fascinated by complex systems. His pursuit has led from a childhood interest in programmable calculators to a current study of the mechanisms that control the behavior of brain cells. Brody believes the interdisciplinary approach used at Princeton Neuroscience Institute means "we're really going to do something special here."

Video feature: Brody studies the ultimate programmable calculator — the brain
Posted March 15, 2012; 12:00 p.m.
He was 12. It was the best birthday gift his parents ever gave him. Not a bike, not a pair of skis, not a model rocket — it was a programmable calculator.
"I was a total geek," admits Carlos Brody in the accompanying video. "Even as a kid I was thinking about how complex systems work."
Brody, an associate professor in the Department of Molecular Biology and the Princeton Neuroscience Institute, now directs his energy and passion toward what he calls the ultimate programmable calculator — the brain. He is seeking to understand the mechanisms that control the behavior of brain cells involved in short-term memory and decision-making.
Play a video of Brody, part of a series showcasing Princeton life and academics.
A faculty member at Princeton since 2007, Brody came to the University two years after the Princeton Neuroscience Institute was launched. He said the "stellar intellect" of his colleagues and students and the interdisciplinary nature of his work keep him motivated.
"The brain, because of its nature, requires interdisciplinary cross-level thinking to make the advances beyond what we know now," Brody said. "It's about exchanging ideas, no matter which department you're in.
"And that has been a big part of what promotes neuroscience here at Princeton and what makes me think, 'Oh, we're really going to do something special here,'" he added. "Understanding how the brain works will have impact on philosophy, will have impact on engineering, will have impact on health. And here at Princeton, we're on the cusp of producing those interdisciplinary links right now."

Australia 1981
not titled
[red shoes].
artist's proof , published state
Not signed. Not dated. Not titled. Not inscribed.
printed image (irregular) 39.0 (h) x 24.2 (w) cm
Gordon Darling Australia Pacific Print Fund 2007
National Gallery of Australia, Canberra
Prism is one of Melbourne's leading stencil artists and a member of the influential Everfresh crew. Not titled [red shoes] recalls a scene from the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz – the stripey stockinged legs of the Wicked Witch of the East, after she is crushed by a house during a tornado and before Dorothy takes possession of her magical ruby slippers. At the sight of the witch's immobile legs, a local troop of munchkins emerges to celebrate the occasion with their song, "Ding dong! The witch is dead!" This catchy musical number has been a surprise hit on the charts since the 1940s, even being covered by Ella Fitzgerald, and was still being sung by television comedians in 1990 when Margaret Thatcher was ousted by the British polls. The dead Wicked Witch is a meme that has firmly entered popular culture, and is therefore ripe for appropriation by street artists interested in recycling images taken from the media, urban folklore and pop mythology.
The artist's spontaneous execution of this work, swiftly sprayed and torn from a sketchbook, points to its origins as a live work on the street, where the Witch's legs might have been spotted sticking out the side of something like a Melbourne garbage compacter, circa 2003. In that setting the sense of humour and revelation is fresh and sudden. In the reflective space of the gallery, we might pause a moment longer to think about the contemporary relevance of this cartoon emblem of evil defeated.

When I was a kid, my dad had his money heavily invested in the family business, so we couldn't afford a whole lot of extras at the time. So even though I couldn't buy them, I enjoyed sifting through them and thus have more nostalgic memories of carded SW figures.
I think he thought they were a ripoff too. "$1.99 for a little piece of plastic?" I remember him saying. I kidded him years later that if he would have bought all those figures that I wanted for $1.99, they would be worth hundreds of dollars apiece today, which was a way better return than the stock market. Course I'd of opened them if he would have gotten em for me.

In the end, basically everyone acknowledged the Muskrat Falls debate was a disappointment — and blamed someone else for the failure.
The debate in the House of Assembly lasted a total of two hours. Only six of the 48 MHAs got a chance to speak, and NDP Leader Lorraine Michael got less than eight minutes to state her position on the $7.5-billion megaproject.
Plans for a weeklong debate on the project broke down over a demand by the Liberals to be able to question expert witnesses on the floor of the legislature.
Question period in the House of Assembly Wednesday started off with Premier Kathy Dunderdale and Liberal Leader Dwight Ball blaming each other for the fact that Muskrat Falls wouldn't get a more lengthy discussion.
"I will always ask for a debate that means something, that is not a charade," Ball said. "We asked for witnesses. You were afraid to give us access to the witnesses. That is exactly what happened."
Dunderdale fired back, "We have looked for every creative way that we could find to actually get the members opposite to come to the House of Assembly prepared to debate this important issue, Mr. Speaker. They have weaseled their way out of it, Mr. Speaker, at every, every opportunity. They do not want to talk policy with regard to Muskrat Falls."
When the final vote came at
5 p.m., MHAs stood along party lines, with the Liberals and the NDP opposing the current plan to develop Muskrat Falls, and the Tory caucus voting en masse in favour.
"We're opposed to the current plan because we still have not received the kind of information we need to have with regard to the economics," Michael said. "This government and Nalcor have not been forthcoming with the detailed information that people need to have around the economics of the project."
While the provincial cabinet still needs to take the formal step of sanctioning the project, Dunderdale told reporters Wednesday that's effectively a foregone conclusion.
"There is not one reason in the world why we wouldn't sanction," she said.
More scrutiny
A small cluster of protesters outside Confederation Building bemoaned the "death of democracy" ahead of the public debate in the legislature, saying Muskrat Falls should have been given more scrutiny, and should have been given full regulatory approval by the Public Utilities Board before going ahead.
The one small surprise Wednesday was independent MHA Tom Osborne, who voted with the government in favour of the current plan to develop Muskrat Falls.
Osborne said he did so because it seems like the best option available, but he still has serious misgivings.
Burden for ratepayers
He said the current cost estimates represent a massive burden for ratepayers in the province — a burden that will only increase if there are future cost overruns.
"(It's) $14,000 for every man, woman and child in this province. A family of four — $56,000 that they've got to pay back on their utility bills. So I've got a very real concern about the cost overruns," he said. "What I'd like to see government do is guarantee … the rate projections that Nalcor is making."

Laura's Corner
I work very hard and am attending college to obtain my degree in the Human Service field. Writing makes me feel alive and gives me the opportunity to touch those whom I would not be able to otherwise. Last but not least, I have been blessed with two amazing daughters who love me completely and support my dreams. Feel free to contact me with questions, concerns or feedback.
Happy Birthday
October 14th, 1992 is my youngest daughter Auburn's birthday. I remember being in labor throughout the night and walking around. My contractions lying would be close together yet the minute I began to pace, they would space out and eventually cease.
My Doctor informed me that afternoon that I was at 4.5 centimeters and required my admission into the hospital. My labor had ceased alltogether at which time I was informed that I would be given a labor inducing drug. Not knowing how long or how hard, I was more than happy to see my new baby.
Within two hours after induction, begging, crying and pleading for an epidural, only to be denied, I gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Dark hair and eyes, full face, long legs, she was angelic. I recall introducing my girls and immediately saw a bond. My oldest touched her face and said, "Baby", to which I replied, "Yes, this is your sister, Auburn."
Within a week after the birth I was hemorrhaging and had to have a D&C. Shortly after, their father had to return to duty in Korea. My sister stopped by to help yet I knew I could do it and had to do it my way. We fell into a schedule and stayed in for the majority of winter. Family stopped by occassionally yet I did it primarily alone.
I can't recall how exhausted I was, I just remember the gift of my two precious girls. As my friends spoke of the terrible twos, I recall enjoying each and every year. I'm not saying it wasn't tough at times, yet being a mom was something I embraced and cherished.
My Stephanie was kind, patient, giving and peaceful. Auburn was more of a spitfire. One to stomp her foot or run like crazy to get away, she was determined, stubborn yet very shy. We nicknamed her "Cheek" because her cheeks ran together without an indentation inbetween. She walked at 8 months, potty trained herself at the age of 2 and couldn't wait to go to school. She was very intelligent and ran the show.
My little girl, now turning 20, how far you've come. One that would rather hang with me instead of her friends. The girl who put her nose into her books, determined to get straight A's. The young woman who chatted my ear off for an hour after I walked into the house, to regale me with minute by minute details of her day at school. The kid who loved hitting the mall, shopping, music, gaming and singing. So many things run though my mind because each and every day I am reminded of what was and what may someday be.
I think of you, every minute of every day. Not a day goes by that I am reminded of you and your sister. I recall so many jokes, fun times and sayings we had. The "boyfriends" we found one another out and about. The Toys, the festivals the Taylor Swift concert tickets that I surprised you with. The pictures we took as we walked around the parks, lakefront and more.
I miss you, I miss you more than my very being. To type this fills me with a great desire to hear your voice, embrace and hug you. Videos and pictures suffice yet human touch and verbal communication is the most powerful of all.
I respect your choice as a young woman and adult to "do your thing" yet know this. If I am not given the opportunity to speak to you before I leave this earth, I am typing it here. I love you. I am sorry for whatever I may have done which has caused you to cease complete communication. I know you're expressing your frustration with those who have been "outsiders" and really didn't know the close, special relationship we shared. I know you're finding your way, coming of age and doing your thing. I hope one day you are given the blessing of conception. If you are, you will look into the eyes of your newborn baby and know how I felt the minute I laid eyes on you. You will know as they grow that moms aren't called to be perfect, they are called to do the best with what they had been taught. We grow and change as our children grow. We adjust, learn, falter and sometimes, get back up and strive to do even better.
I am here for you. I love you. I forgive you. I can't wait to see you, talk with you, hold you and embrace you in the same manner in which someone has been reunited with a loved one. I have faith because Grandpa Tom is on my side and, like he said, "Don't worry about it, everything will be just fine."
Happiest Birthday to my baby. I hope today is all you dream and more.
Your Mom

The book The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America is a must read for anyone who desires to fully understand how we came to the place we are now in terms of who is leading this country and the direction in which we are headed.
Here is a link to reviews of the book...some are very crystalizing:
Anyone who listens to Hannity interview common folk on the street (or Dave Letterman/Jay Leno/...anyone for that matter) can readily see/hear how effective the plan was/is/and will be.
A society that has no fear of God (no moral compass by which to navigate anything), rewards failure, punishes success, elevates twisted theologies in the name of science, murders its own infants by the millions, devalues families, glorifies abominations, and so-on......hardly stands a chance unless an radical change is made. Our educational system is just one more chink in the armor...a huge dent in fact.

I'd buy Han with short, gray hair (think Indiana and the Crystal Skull look) wearing all black - (NJO)
I'd buy Han with short, gray hair and "blue jean look" outfit - Legacy look
I'd buy older Han with graying hair in Corellian General's uniform - Black Fleet Crisis (Genral Madine look)
I'd buy young Han, short hair, in Imperial Officer uniform
I'd buy young Han, short hair, in TIE fighter pilot uniform
I'd buy Deluxe Han Carbonite with the following pieces:
1) Han Solo figure in white shirt with brown pants and yellow pants piping
2) extra forearms with fingers / hands open in the "frozen pose."
3) extra head in the freezing agony expression
4) Cloud City arm restraints, Jabba's palace arm shackles
5) Skiff guard blaster gun, skiff guard force pike with vibroblade
6) back of carbonite block with depressed space for the Han figure's body
7) 80's vintage style clear carbonite block overlay so you can encase your figure but still see him
8) 80's vintage syle red tinted see-through carbonite block overlay so you can encase your figure but "unfreeze him"
9) '99 POTF2 style carbonite block overlay that finishes the completely frozen look, encasing the figure inside
10) 2006 saga 2 style carbonite block overlay with red tint that represents Han unfreezing
Put this in a deluxe figure "ultimate Han Solo" price point and packaging.
Other than the Carbonite Han listed above, I have no interest in movie Han Solo figures.

Cornell graduate student walking across country to raise awareness for orphans
Barrett Keene, a PhD student at Cornell University, is walking 3,475 miles from Miami to San Francisco to help raise awareness about the struggles of nearly 145 million orphaned and abandoned children around the world. As an education student and educator himself, Keene said he was fortunate to serve children as a teacher and through his Go Walk America challenge. His relationship with Christ motivated him to serve those who otherwise wouldn't be able to take care of their own needs, especially children. Donations will directly benefit orphaned and abandoned children in places like Uganda and Haiti by providing school uniforms, a necessity that would otherwise keeps children in these places from accessing education.

Got one for my birthday and this is the first .45 sclae saber I've gotten. Appropriate since Obi-Wan has always been one of my favourite characters. I was really surprised at how sturdy and heavy this piece is. Love the fact that the stand for it matches the stands that came with my FX Sabers.
These are lovely pieces and I would certainly reccommend them. I need to get on the ball and start picking up some of the other ones!!!
Well done, MR!!! You certainly DO know what you're doing there. I'm so glad that I got a chance to share time with all of you at Celebration III. Just knowing the people involved with these fine products makes me even more proud of owning them.
Thanks again for delivering a fine, fine replica!!
Love to you all!!

Z ero-depth entry pools allow patrons to enter the water without steps or a ladder. Because the depth gradually increases, this is a prime location where small children require assistance.
It's essential that lifeguards assigned to this zone react quickly. Depending on the depth, the guard might have to run in shallow water, or run and then swim to the victim. When conducting a drill, the zone of coverage should be large enough for the guard to run a distance before making contact with the victim.
Disclaimer: All drills mentioned emphasize lifeguard safety. At no time will the lifeguard dive into shallow water unless trained by your agency and authorized to do so.
Watch a video of the drill:
Run-and-swim entry drill: (6-10 lifeguards) The trainer will be in water at least 2½ feet deep, facing the shore. Use 3-inch rubber balls for this drill.
Objective: While wearing the rescue tube, the guard must reach the ball as quickly as possible.
Timing goal: 10 seconds to make contact with the ball. The trainer should place the ball at various depths and distances from the guard. Once the ball is retrieved, it is passed to the trainer.
Expedite the flow of this drill by having the trainer start with multiple balls. Multiple trainers also can be utilized.
Once each lifeguard has "rescued" the ball 4-6 times, move to the variations, with extra time provided as indicated.
> Add a second ball. The guard must only touch the first ball, then pick up the second one (no time change).
> Add a second ball. The guard must pick up both balls (no time change).
> After retrieval, both balls need to be returned to shore (5-10 seconds).
> Add a diving manikin. The guard touches the ball, then pulls the manikin to the surface so its face is showing (5-10 seconds).
> Add a rescue tube (no time change).
Balls and manikin can be placed together or apart, in distance and depth. This forces the guard to determine the fastest rescue route.
Two-rescuer manikin retrieval: Place a manikin in 2-3 feet of water. Teams will consist of two lifeguards who work together to retrieve it. Both guards must have contact with the manikin until it is placed in a designated area. Guards should place, not throw, the manikin.
Objective: Retrieve the manikin as quickly and safely as possible and place it in the designated area.
Timing goal: 15-20 seconds.
After completing the objective, have the team place the manikin back in the water. Once the teams become proficient, move to the variations, with extra time provided as indicated.
> Add a second manikin (15-20 seconds).
> Add a third manikin (20-30 seconds).
> Keep using two or three manikins; add that lifeguards must return to starting location together (20 more seconds).
> Team is split, and start from different locations at the same time (no time change).
> Team is split, and start from different locations with a 5 second staggered start (no time change).
> Add a rescue tube (no time change).
> Manikins are staggered in depth, shallow to deep (10-15 seconds).
Beach drag drill: Lifeguards will be in teams of three. Victim will be in 2-3 feet of water at a designated point. Guards will be on shore, rescue the victim and do a beach drag to bring the victim onto shore. Once on shore, one of the guards will become a victim and go out to the designated point. Guards go out and retrieve this new victim with a beach drag. Drill ends when all rescuers rotate through the victim roll.
Objective: Bring the victim to shore using a beach drag as quickly and safely as possible.
Timing goal: 40-60 seconds to complete the drill, with all members of the team taking turns at being the victim.
Once proficient, try these variations, with extra time provided as indicated.
> Each rescuer must be the victim twice (up to 40 seconds).
> Last victim brought in must be given a primary assessment, and determined to have a pulse and is breathing (15 seconds).
> Last victim brought in must be given a primary assessment — victim is determined to have a pulse but is not breathing. Rescuers must provide adult rescue breathing for 3 breaths (30 seconds).
Five-minute run-and-swim entry drill: Designate a finish line between 2½ to 3½ feet deep. Lifeguards will start at the water's edge.
Objective: Complete as many run-and-swim entries as possible to the designated finish line within 5 minutes.
Lifeguards must return to the starting line as quickly as possible. This is an endurance drill that conditions the staff to run through water. If needed, guards may swim across the finish line. It is surprising how demanding this drill is and how quickly fatigue will begin. If needed, reduce time and build up to 5 minutes. Variations can include:
> Requiring modified front crawl or breaststroke with rescue tube
> Requiring front crawl with rescue tube trailing behind
> No rescue tube
> Add 5 minutes for a total of 10 minutes, doing two variations (no break).
Surf balls: (6-10 lifeguards) This fun activity is a form of musical chairs. Line up 10 guards at the water's edge, facing away from the water. Place nine tennis balls in the water at various distances. On your command, the guards turn and rush to retrieve a ball. Whoever doesn't get one is eliminated from the next round. One ball and one guard are reduced from each round until there is only one ball and two lifeguards vying for it. Whoever gets the last ball is the winner. Variations include:
> All lifeguards must take a rescue tube
> Victims substitute for balls and must be rescued
Be aware that this drill quickly turns into many lifeguards watching while the remaining ones compete. Therefore, only initiate this drill occasionally.

QUOTE: 'Taking care of our customers is how we do business.
Smithville Hardware
Even though Allen and Leigh Duncan didn't get any help in rebuilding their business after the April 27, 2011, tornado that demolished muchof Smithville, they felt an obligation to their community and town to rebuild.
"I felt like we hadn't finished the job we started on with this business and we needed to build back," said Allen.
The business was established in 1922 as Harmon & Lyle Merchandisers, and it owned by E. S. Ferguson at one time. James Burrow owned it for a few years, and then David Ray Brasfield bought it
"I came around here at age 10 and David Ray started letting me do little jobs," Allen said. "I've practically grown up in Smithville Hardware. When he passed away and Miss Jean said he wanted me to buy it, I was honored. I couldn't let the business die after the tornado because he had placed his trust in me."
The new Smithville Hardware is laid out with a more open concept. One of the teller windows from the original Bank of Smithville is installed in the store. Old brick from the old store has also been used inside and outside.
The Duncans are rebuilding their stock and hope to be back at full capacity within a year.
The store carries electrical and plumbing, supplies for the professional or do-it-yourselfer, hand tools and power tools. Well pumps and supplies also are available, along with kitchen items, home and garden supplies, outdoor items, hunting clothing and accessories and pocket knives. The store also does custom fabrication and other detailed and specialty work.
Smithville Hardware also has lawn and garden materials, and it performs lawnmower repairs.

Did you know major depressive disorder is one of the most common mental disorders in the United States?
Almost 7% of the U.S. population is diagnosed with depression. Tweet >
Clinical depression is a serious condition that negatively affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. In contrast to normal sadness, clinical depression is persistent, and significantly interferes with daily life. Untreated, symptoms can last for weeks, months, or years; and if inadequately treated, depression can lead to other health-related issues. Symptoms include: a depressed mood most of the day, every day; diminished interest in daily activities; changes in appetite and sleeping patterns; fatigue; restlessness; anxiety; feelings of worthlessness or helplessness; difficulty concentrating; increased alcohol or drug use; thoughts of death or suicide.

Alistair Overeem: 2010 Nikkan Sports Fighting MVP
- Published in K-1
Last year, Masato was chosen by one of Japan's largest newspapers, NikkanSports as their Combat Sports MVP. It was an honor for the retiring fighter, and a great way to cap off his stellar fighting career. This year, they chose Alistair Overeem, the K-1 World Grand Prix 2010 Champion. It is safe to say that the man known as "The Reem," "The Dutch Cyclone" as well as "Ubereem" had a banner year, with five victories in K-1 competition (Poturak, Edwards, Spong, Saki and Aerts), with four KO victories. To top it off, he defended his Strikeforce Heavyweight Championship against Brett Rogers in May and looks to be competing at Dynamite!! against Todd Duffee for the DREAM Heavyweight Championship. For any fighter, this would be a good year, for Ubereem, it was another year in the life.

Can you see stars being born?
On a dark night you can practically watch stars being born. The fuzzy area in the sword in the constellation Orion is the Orion nebula. A close up shows the nebula with around 3,000 stars. New stars are being born there.
Star Lives
Stars have a life cycle, just like people. Stars are born, grow, change over time, and eventually grow old and die. Most stars change in size, color, and class at least once in their lifetime. What astronomers know about the life cycles of stars is because of data gathered from visual, radio, and X-ray telescopes.
Stars are born in a cloud of gas and dust called a nebula. Our Sun and solar system formed out of a nebula. A nebula is shown in Figure below.
Stars are forming in the Rosette Nebula.
The Pillars of Creation, seen in the Figure below, are within the Eagle Nebula. The pillars are thought to be a large region where stars are forming. The dark areas may be stars that are about to begin.
In the Pillars of Creation gas and dust come together as a stellar nursery.
Star Formation
For a star to form, gravity pulls gas and dust into the center of the nebula. As the material becomes denser, the pressure and the temperature increase. When the temperature of the center becomes hot enough, nuclear fusion begins. The ball of gas has become a star!
Our Sun was probably born in a nebula like Orion in the top image.

The apartment is very comfortable to visit Moscow
Danil is a quiet person and was waiting for us near the apartment as agreed.
The house is as strategic, a 10-minute walk from lines 7 and above all by the circular line 5.
The apartment is on the ninth floor of a nondescript building, but the studio apartment is new and functional (microwave, large fridge, washing machine)
Only all dishes are really lacking.
Nearby there is a good supermarket open till late hours and a bank open until 21.
Recommended for two people.
Thanks again for everything Danil!
Danil is a nice friendly young man. He was waiting for us, after we had sent a mail what time we would arrive. Approximately The apartment is close to a metro station, it was neat and clean. Supermarket nearby.
Danil is een aardige vriendelijke jongeman. Hij stond ons op te wachten, nadat wij een mail hadden gestuurd hoe laat wij ongeveer zouden aankomen. Het appartement ligt dichtbij een metrostation, het was keurig en schoon. Supermarkt in de buurt.

Hi there; you really describe exactly what Mauritania looks like, I just returned from a trip to Nuackchot and Nohadibu. As soon as we boarded our plane in Gran Canaria, Spain I knew it was going to be something to remember; this was a small plane, (34 pax) but even though I live in a poor central american country, I felt that we are blessed by God to live in a place were if you have no money, still you can plant any seed and it wil produce; that is not the case of Mauritania, the sand and salt will never let anything to live.
I came home feeling so sorry for this people; but what makes me most sad is that this people do not like foreiners; yes they may have very good reasons not to trust strangers but if they were more open I am sure many people would came to Mauritania and help.
Nouadhibou & Cap Blanc, Mauritania, Oct 15, 2007
Loading Map
Mauritania must also be one of the least visited countries, one that provides a true sense of being "out there" for those who do make it. I posed the question via e-mail to my friend Brian, "I'm in Mauritania now. I bet you don't know where Mauritania is?"
His response was, "Of course I do. It's right next to Narnia."
We spent a full day and two nights in Nouadhibou to relax and recuperate between the two stretches of our Saharan crossing. Nouadhibou is Mauritania's second largest city and a major fishing and iron ore port. From the looks of it, it's not necessarily clear whether the city has seen better times or if it's never really seen any good ones. Our small walled campement in the town's dilapidated central commercial district provided a small bit of comfort in the form of two shower stalls with warm running water. The camp, though, was surrounded by cinderblock slum houses sitting between sand dunes strewn with rubbish. The streets through town were a mixture of dirt lanes and disintegrating pavement, plied by more donkey carts laden with propane canisters than the disintegrating hulks that make up what must surely be the world's worst national fleet of automobiles.
In what seemed to be one of the most unwelcoming places I encountered, the ATMs didn't work, the telephone lines were down so the Internet cafes (yes, there were some) were all closed, and the banks refused to exchange money
Our shopping for provisions for the next few days crossing the desert was nearly as disappointing, there being almost no fresh produce and only a narrow range of imported canned goods I'd characterize as ingredients rather than food that I couldn't figure out how to combine into dishes I would call food. I finally found a butcher shop with, surprisingly, an English speaking proprietor who yelled at me gruffly, "Speak English!" when I tried to ask him for something in French. The nice but slightly unusual looking meet he sold me as beef actually turned out to be camel (but more on that in a later chapter). The town's only saving graces were two surprisingly good restaurants named Halima and Le Merou where I had lunch and dinner, the latter of which even sold me an over-priced liter-size box of Spanish wine, contraband goods in ultra-Islamic Mauritania.
In addition to its fishing industry, Nouadhibou is the terminus of the train from Zouerat, the huge hell-on-earth iron mining center 600 miles or so into the Sahara, a rail line that exists for the sole purpose of transporting the ore for export. At up to 1.5 miles long, the trains are said to be the world's longest and also transport people back and forth between Nouadhibou and Zouerat, far more it would appear outside on top of the heaps of reddish iron ore than inside the decrepit-looking passenger car or two we saw at the end of each train that passed
I joined "The Three Wise Men" and "The Warden", nicknames someone more creative than I gave to Ed, Blair, Ian, and Chris, the more senior members of our group and avid naturalists, bird watchers, and photographers, for a taxi ride to Cap Blanc at the end of the peninsula several miles south of town. The cape is allegedly home to the world's largest colony of endangered Mediterranean Monk Seals.
We spotted no seals that day, but the eerie and beautiful environment around Cap Blanc was one of natural splendor combined with manmade decline. The derelict lighthouse at the cape looked to be in even worse shape than the rust-bucket of a taxi we arrived in. Meanwhile, we counted 23 grounded rusting ships on the way from town to the cape as we passed the iron port facilities and oil storage tanks. We more or less repelled down the sandy cliffs to the beach below, where I wandered around with Ed photographing seabirds and what must be the largest shipwreck I've ever seen. Quite bizarrely, a man wearing jeans suddenly appeared perhaps 25 yards up on the wreck's deck, dropped a retractable ladder over its side, and waved to us as if inviting us to go up to his house. I didn't intend to be rude, but that just wasn't going to happen.
Meanwhile the others made a mad dash along the rocks to beat the incoming tide to look for seals
Cap Blanc was also the location of the famous wreck of the Medusa, a French frigate that ran aground in 1816 and was immortalized by Theodore Gericault's painting "The Raft of the Medusa". Although Nouadhibou is one of the world's driest places, the hot air over the Sahara and cold offshore current combine to create fog banks that often obscure Cap Blanc's rocky shoals to create one of the world's great graveyards of ships.
Way back in Essaouira, Morocco, Dave posted some information sheets about Mauritania on Daphne's memo board. One of these had to do with the issue of slavery in Mauritania. It seems slavery was officially abolished in Mauritania a whopping 27 years ago but is said to still be widely practiced in the country, as in Mali, Niger, and a few other West African countries. The system in Mauritania is one of "white" Maures (they're not really that white) owning "black" Harratins, descendents of enslaved Black African tribes who were assimilated into the Arabic Maure culture
Naturally, that night I asked drivers Dave and Ben if we could get ourselves a slave for our ten days in Mauritania to cook for us, put up our tents, clean the truck, do dishes, etc. They said, "No, it's not politically correct!"
"Dudes, we have enough space. It'll only be for ten days, and I promise we'll treat him really well. And if we sell him back at a loss when we leave for Senegal, I'm sure we'll all pitch in."
The answer was still, "No!!"
"But Ben, having a slave would be part of the local cultural experience. It would be the type of cultural immersion we really haven't been getting on this tour. We could even do a good deed and free him afterwards. Dragomanites freeing Mauritanian slaves - just think about how good that would look in the list of community service projects in the Dragoman brochure."
I tried again over the next few days but didn't make any progress. Additionally, our arguments over getting ourselves a slave quickly lost their entertainment value as Gordy began making it into a sexual joke.

Economist to discuss 'rockonomics,' Sept. 23
Posted September 19, 2002; 08:32 p.m.
"Rockonomics: Economics and Public Policy in the Rock and Roll Industry" is the topic of a lecture set for Monday, Sept. 23. Economist Alan Krueger will speak at 4:30 p.m. in 016 Robertson Hall.
Krueger is the Bendheim Professor of Economics and Public Policy, director of the Princeton Survey Research Center and professor of economics and public affairs at the Woodrow Wilson School. "Rocko-nomics" is the term he uses to describe his study of the economic effects of the rising cost of concert ticket prices.
Krueger presented his findings in February 2002 to the Concert Industry Consortium. In conducting his study, he was granted almost unlimited access to the historical database of box office information maintained by POLLSTAR, an organization that provides concert tour schedules, box office results, industry directories, news and other industry-related data services to professionals in the music concert industry.
Krueger's primary research and teaching interests are labor economics, education, industrial relations and social insurance. He writes a monthly column on economics for The New York Times. The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs .

The phenomenological playfulness in the process of model making is guided by Jonathan Swift's descriptions of the inversions of scale between humans and architectural environments in Gulliver's travels. In his sojourn on Lilliput, Gulliver was housed within the outer walls of a large property but was unable to access the interior of any building other than to peer through windows. This play on the denial of access to space other than through tiny vistas triggers the imagination of the viewer in a particular way so as to transcend the impossibility of being able to physically enter that space.
An architectural model does not replicate the sensory experience of the full-scale architectural source, but it does provide a reference for triggering memory of experience or imagination, and it is indeed a work in its own right. If the notion of the miniature as a metaphor for interiority is to be embraced, then the contextual placement of the model within a gallery space may well heighten the experience of interiority and relationships of public and private. The architectural model that contains a micro-installation can also compensate for a sense of loss when an art installation is removed from an exhibition venue. Storage, too, becomes an issue for sculptural works, and an artwork and its crating can co-exist as an exhibit.
As a method for recording and considering a series of site-sensitive exhibitions dating from 1998, architectural models containing micro-installations first appeared alongside the full-scale installation at Temple Bar Gallery and Studios, Dublin, in 2000 and continue to evolve with The Doll's House project. The starting point was an investigation of the eighteenth-century print room at Castletown House, County Kildare in Ireland. The observation of deterioration and decay in the study of eighteenth-century architecture has led to the incorporation of these elements into the production of the most recent models. Identifiable models of specific spaces and installations at times give way to fragmentary works. These fragments and ruins parallel the piecing together of clues from centuries of lost knowledge in order to build an understanding of the life of Lady Louisa Conolly and her Castletown print room.
If we experience life and re-live memory in a fragmentary way in the Proustian sense, then the ability to record experience in miniature and model form is a way to make sense of broken moments and experiences that can be absorbed within the field of vision, as a metaphor for understanding.

By Tiernan Ray
DRAM and NAND flash memory chip maker Micron Technology (MU) gets another price target increase today in advance of its fiscal Q3 report tomorrow afternoon, ahead of market close, this time from Raymond James's Hans Mosesmann, who reiterates a Strong Buy rating and raises his price target to $17 from $12, writing that "the 109% surge in shares this year (vs. the SOX up 22%) is only the beginning."
The increase follows positive remarks from a number of bulls yesterday, including Citigroup's Glen Yeung, Wedbush's Betsy Van Hees, and Credit Suisse's Jonathan Pitzer.
Mosesmann is modeling $2.17 billion in revenue and a penny per share net loss for Q3, even though he actually thinks Micron may deliver upside, perhaps reporting $2.3 billion to $2.4 billion, versus the Street's $2.26 billion, although the company could still miss the consensus 2-cent estimate:
We believe the upside is predominantly in PC DRAM pricing, where spot pricing is up 30-50% q/q in the May quarter depending on the form factor. NAND pricing was also above seasonal and was up in the May quarter, which compares favorably to the company's quarter-to-date figure of a mid-single digit decline. While this should also drive gross margin upside relative to our 20% estimate, this should be offset by additional Elpida related hedging losses that should top ~$100 million for the second consecutive quarter (or ~$0.10 in EPS). Thus, don't be shocked if headline EPS misses consensus of $0.02 despite much improved "operating" EPS.
But like other analysts on the stock, Mosesmann's principal point of interest is the presumed closing of Micron's acquisition of bankruptcy memory maker Elpida Memory, which could dramatically boost earnings for Micron, he thinks:
We expect the Elpida acquisition to close in July or August, consistent with previous commentary of a mid-summer close. Given continued depreciation of the yen, a lower asset base for Elpida will drive a lower depreciation cost for Micron than previously expected. Our initial accretion estimate for the acquisition is ~$0.90, although this could vary depending on post-close capital spending plans and FX rates.
Mosesmann keeps intact an estimate for this year of $8.42 billion and a 52-cent loss.

Sad, sad news over at FSU football today. Senior DE Cornellius "Tank" Carradine, who was having an All-America-type season, sustained a torn ACL late in the Florida loss. He has played his last snap as a Seminole.
Sad, sad news over at FSU football today. Senior DE Cornellius "Tank" Carradine, who was having an All-America-type season, sustained a torn ACL late in the Florida loss. He has played his last snap as a Seminole.
Wow. I think he had moved into the 1st round with his play this year, maybe even top 20. On the flipside, a team is going to get an absolute steal at a bargain price. Now I wonder what round he will be drafted.
i don't know about 1st round talk there prior to the injury but i guess now i know why he looked so upset yesterday on the sideline...still if someone can take schofield high a couple years ago knowing he won't help them the next year i doubt carradine killed his stock...i would burn a 4th rounder on him...still
but top 50 pick talk is likely over with...
I wouldn't mind us taking flyers on him and Jenkins in the second or third rounds. If they return to form...look out!
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
2nd or 3rd rounds? Try the 5th.
I definitely believe he was a 1st round pick before he hurt his knee Saturday. I still don't think he makes it out of the top half of the 3rd round.
The upside with Carradine is tremendous. As good as he already is, he can be even better once he learns to play with better pad level instead of playing so upright all the time.
A lot of guys rack up what I call college sacks, but they don't necessarily translate to the NFL. Clemson in particular for example, has a long line of 'em from guys like Andre Branch, Daquan Bowers, Ricky Sapp, Phillip Merling, Gaines Adams, etc. You're not going to win in the NFL consistently with pure speed or a first move like you do in college.
Carradine gets NFL caliber sacks based on his ability to finish through incredible functional football strength in his core and upper body, and his ability to fight for hand position to disengage offensive tackles. Carradine has the ability to make an offensive tackle wrong even when he's done everything right. That's a rare quality, especially for a kid who's still playing with flawed technique.
That's also why he leads a defense full of kids who will be playing in the NFL soon in tackles from his DE spot, which is a fairly rare accomplishment.

Tank Carradine is easily my favorite player in the 2013 Draft. I liked calling him "The Don" as in "Don Cornellius" always was ready for the kill shot. I liked the way he played his position. I was upset when the injury happened, he was a guy I was hoping Miami would draft. They still might? perhaps now getting a steal in the 4th-5th round.
hellfire, now we can take werner with our first and get carradine late? sign me up.
I'd take a guy like carradine over a lot of the guys I have tried to pencil in the fourth or fifth round in my research. even with the injury, he'd be a steal in the 4-5 round. It's not as if it's a career ending injury.
too bad for the guy though, he deserved to go a lot higher than he will go.

Arithmetic for Teachers: With Applications and Topics from Geometry - Gary R Jensen
The Mathematical Education of Teachers
Continuous Symmetry: From Euclid to Klein - William Barker and Roger Howe
This is a textbook for pre-service elementary school teachers and for current teachers who are taking professional development courses. By emphasizing the precision of mathematics, the exposition achieves a logical and coherent account of school mathematics at the appropriate level for the readership. Wu provides a comprehensive treatment of all the standard topics about numbers in the school mathematics curriculum: whole numbers, fractions, and rational numbers. Assuming no previous knowledge of mathematics, the presentation develops the basic facts about numbers from the beginning and thoroughly covers the subject matter for grades K through 7.
Every single assertion is established in the context of elementary school mathematics in a manner that is completely consistent with the basic requirements of mathematics. While it is a textbook for pre-service elementary teachers, it is also a reference book that school teachers can refer to for explanations of well-known but hitherto unexplained facts. For example, the sometimes-puzzling concepts of percent, ratio, and rate are each given a treatment that is down to earth and devoid of mysticism. The fact that a negative times a negative is a positive is explained in a leisurely and comprehensible fashion.

A Mini Guide To Football Gambling And Goalscorer Betting
Once upon a time the only form of betting on European football or soccer as we call it, was doing what was called the pools. This would typically be for all the league games played every Saturday in England and Scotland. You would have a coupon with all the games listed and have to accumulate 24 points for the top dividend. You would receive 3 points for a score draw and 2 points for a no score draw and you would mark an "x" in the grid alongside the game played. Thousands upon thousands of hopeful gamblers would mail their coupon in midweek to arrive before game time on Saturday, and all be glued to the TV or radio at 5pm Saturday for the reading of the football results in the hope of hitting the big time jackpot often around £2m. While it won't improve your chances of picking the games correctly this weekend, you can get a nice deposit bonus before bet, if you visit this site.
It is no surprise, that although the pools still exists, it is no longer the game of choice when it comes to football and gaming. The online world has completely taken over the scene and today millions of dollars flood the football market every day, the game also enjoying a huge global viewing market that can watch their games live via satellite or online. There is a huge range of online gambling sites that offer sports betting, articles on learning the odds of each game, and a chance to win real money. No need to step into a race track, or buy a sports ticket like "ProLine" from a lottery dealer.
Today, we are going to take a look at online "Goalscorer Betting", which is just one of a multitude of football related bets that can be placed.
We will look at betting on the first goal scorer of a particular match that you fancy. As with anything, you need to know the rules, so here are a couple of things to be mindful of before you place your bet.
Your Selected Player Doesn't Make the Line Up Or Is Substituted
Simply put, if your player has not been selected to play and is sitting on the bench and a goal is scored, your bet is null and void. If however he comes off the bench with the score still 0-0, the bet is activated as soon as he comes on the field. This is the norm in goal scorers betting.
Betting On Each Way
The way this is applied to football is excluding own goals if the player you have selected is one of any of the players that scores a goal up to the 5th goal, you will be paid out 1/3 of the odds at the end of the match. If there is an own goal scored, it is not counted as one of the five for this bet. This means there could have been 5 goals scored including an own goal and if he was to score the 6th goal, you would be paid out on your each way bet.
First Goalscorer Insurebet
With this particular bet, your odds are slightly reduced compared to placing a win or each way bet. Here if your player doesn't get the first goal, yet still manages to score during the game, you will get your money back, this way as long as he scores you can't lose. Do note if he scores an own goal, this would not count and your stake would be forfeited.
In addition to the aforementioned, also be aware, these rules do not carry through to extra time, 90 mins only, no exceptions. Jackpot City is great site for anyone looking for a top online gambling establishment. They provide many casino style games to place bets on including a tennis-style slot machine called Centre Court by Microgaming for all the sports fans out there. Enjoy your game!
