Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by TAHbKA, Feb 1, 2011.
Actually, I liked both their programs this year.
Thank you, TaHbka
I also enjoyed their programs this season. I liked the ones from last season too.
They're both sounding better than just after Worlds. Thanks to the provider of the link and the translator.
We are slightly buffled with the new rules
Hello everyone! Since we last blogged we choreographed the new programmes in the USA, participated a show in China, rested in Dominican Republic and trained in Italy. The summer was very productive - there were no injuries (unlike last summer) and we worked a lot. We will tell all about it next time, this time we'll answer your questions, as we promised.
Q: Have you followed the Olympics in London? Who were you rooting for?
Tanya: We were in Italy during the games without an access to the streams. We checked the internet every morning and listened to the radio
Maksim: Vasilii Konov who was broadcasting from London did a great job, I could also write and ask him questions. A huge thank him for it. I think the Russian team did well - better than in Beijing. Of course I was surprised by the shooting and fencing results....
I was also very upset when Isinbaeva didn't take the gold. I took it so badly that I couldn't sleep till 3am: how come my beloved Isinbaeva didn't win? Next day I was rooting for Abakumova and again, no luck for her. I was thrilled for Anna Chicherova. I met her when we received the sportsmen of the year price. I really felt for my favourite basketball players, but, of course, the volleyball compensated! When they were playing we were on the road and couldn't follow. I read in twitter our guys won and told everyone on the flight - everyone were so happy. When I watched the recording of the game I thought I must have missed something or forgot how to read. But the end of the game was genious! The Olympics were great!
Tanya: We felt for everyone. Kudos to the girls from gymnastics and synchronized swimming. I'm also amazed by Hussein Bolt!
Maksim: Frankly, I never root for Phelps or Bolt. Just like I never do for Evgeni Pluschenko. There are people who are unbeatable in their sport. They are there in the right time and place. Of course they work so hard, I don't question that. I consider them great athletes, hence it's even more interesting looking at , say, Blake who is trying to get Bolt all the time. It's pretty cool to live at the same time of the fastest man on earth and the best swimmer of all the times. I will be able to tell my kids I saw them winning!
Tanya: I like the way they behave - their heads are in the right place, they have a good sense of humour. It's something to respect!
Q: Did you go to your vacation in Altai alone or did the coaches come with you?
Maksim: we were completely alone.
Q: Which GP events will you participatE?
Maksim: Unfortunately we cant' choose ourselves which GP events we are to participate, we can only tell which do we prefer. We got the Skate America and CoR. We had a slight choice, though: either Paris or Moscow. The hosting country can decide which of the local skaters will participate. We preferred to skate home: first we want to skate in front of the home crowd, second it's more convenient: one flight less and well, I still don't have a home medal.
Tanya: Except for the GP we'll participate the Nebelhorn Trophy.
Q: Maksim, was it hard to choreograph for a single female skater? Do you think it's something that would suit you? Or not at all? Did Tanya take any part in the process?
Maksim: I think choreographing is hard, but I was lucky to work with such a talented girl - working with her was fun and easy: she was catching everything on the spot. I was a bit worried first. I know it myself and any coach would tell the girls are more obedient then the guys, but it takes them longer to remember the moves. But in my case she remembered everything at once and even if she couldn't repeat a move immediately it was clear she understands the move and if needed will repeat it a 1000 times.
I would tell her: right, no time for that now, you can learn it later. Should we keep that in the programme? She would say : yes, let's keep. She liked what we were doing herself, and when the person likes what they do they usually make it. It wasn't hard, I liked the process, think it was more interesting, then teaching and coaching. I even had some hard time coming up with some of the programme parts, was driving around, thinking.... It's a capturing process.
Tanya: I wasn't taking any part in the choreographing. While Maksim was working I was warming up, then we practiced ourselves.
Q: What do you think about the rules change? In Korea there was a split twist where Maksim didn't lower his arms even on the shoulder level. Was it about the new rules? He used to take his arms apart, but not like that.
Maksim: Frankly, we are not thrilled with the new rules. There are a lot of changes in the lifts. Now a level 4 lift might be not quite interesting, even junior-ish, I used to perform some of them when I was 13. I don't really get where the figure skating is heading.
Tanya: Some things became easier, some harder. Some positions in the air are not counted. While the entrance and dismount gave points in the past now everything is counted in the air. Besides, Maksim doesnt' like how the opposite direction lifts look, so we have to look for other solutions.
Maksim: the changes are not in the lifts only. The only change I loved is in the split twists. Now the male partner has to lower his hands below the shoulders. I always did it, it was part of the level of the pair. So do the Chinese pairs. Now you have to emphasize it even more to gain the points. There are pairs that not only the male partner doesn't open his arms - he hardly leaves the female partner and yet they used to receive higher levels than we did. Don't think it should happen this year.
Tanya: The back inside todes and the forward inside now cost the same. We think it's wrong - the back inside is much harder, while the kids can perform the forward. I guess everyone will be performing the easy one now.
Maksim: the spirals are not clear either. You could just hold it for 6 seconds and get your levels, yet now there should be a choreographed something that covers the whole rink. We are not quite sure what exactly are we supposed to cover. And how? Diagonally? In a circle? Serpentine? We haven't received an answer yet, but we hope it'll be clarified soon.
Tanya: The rules are not supposed to change in the next two years till the Olympics, which is, of course, a good thing.
Maksim: I don't really get why changing the rules every year. What will they change in 10 years when there is nothing left to change?
Tanya: first they were talking about changing the elements which were badly defined or the elements that become too easy and all the pairs perform it.
Maksim: yet it seems that there are pairs in the top 5 (Canadians, for instance) who can't perform a level 4 lift, they perform level 3, yet the rules keep changing. Some pairs cant' even keep up with the changes. We are trying, even though there is a risk for an injury. Last year the lifts difficulty were changed and the two top pairs missed the elements or got lower levels in some competitions. Yet the lifts became even harder. Where to?
Tanya: In the USA we worked on the lifts with the acrobatics world champions. They helped us a lot: explained some points, showed new positions, gave new ides. We adapted those things for our needs, modernized some. We'll go back to that later - we recorded everything and will work on that.
That's it for now! We'll tell you soon how did we spend the summer and a bit about the new programmes. See you soon!
I have to agree with Maks regarding the rule changes. Who's making this stuff up? It sounds as if he's finding his post-competitive niche in choreography.
Thanks, TAHbKA!
Maxim and Lambiel would make a great future choreo team
love Tanya and Max, I love how he is always outspoken to alot of things, I wouldn't mind Maksim doing Choreography post their competitive careers
Ladies, are you serious? If his choreography is anything like the crap he and Volosozhar have been skating so far I'd from such choreography.
Thanks, TAHbKA.
Who did Trankov do choreo for? I must've missed that news completely!
A Latvian skater Alina Fjodorova (I think he blogged about it some months back)
Can´t say for others, I just hope he stays in skating some way
Thanks as always for the translation!
Don't worry, dude -- I'm sure they'll find something.
I remember his father saying that he didn't do the choreo as a dance choreographer but more like he helped to work in the elements so the program would be up to technical standarts
I assumed they'd just start changing things back, after a 10 year absense it'll be like a brand new thing for the skaters anyway.
About Fjodorova or about Volosozhar/Trankov's programmes? If about Fjodorova - well, it's not what Trankov himself blogged, but of course the daddy knows better.
If about Volosozhar/Trankov's programmes - I have an impression if Trankov doesn't choreograph it himself he had a lot to say on the matter (and I doubt they would have skated anything he didn't like/want)
????? I'm baffled by this statement. Not liking how they *look*? How would rotating in the other direction look any worse (unless you really suck at it)?
Fjodorova, it's not clear in the blog's entry what they were working on with the girl. TBH I see no harm in him trying to work with a junior skter from a small federation - he can try and see if it's what he's good at/wants to do after retirement.
I think that - yeah, Maxim has a big part in the music the pair choose, partly because Tania doesn't seem that involved in the music choces, partly because Mozer has a big experience in chosing music for seniors and Nikolai has too much skaters to chose music for. But I don't think Trankov choreographs the programm, they are too "Morozov" for that.
I think he mentioned that when you need to change direction the flow is interrupted, you need to slow the speed, and this makes it look worse.
I'm not 100% sure I remember it right, he mentioned it last year at Nebelhorn.
It's a dynamic process.
You identify an issue and you come up with a rule change to try to remedy it.
But you don't know how skaters are going to respond to it. You can't predict how they are going to adapt (or not).
After the season is over, you evaluate everything and try to improve it again (because things are never perfect).
Well her choreography could hardly get any worse.
Because the kids from smaller federations can be used as guinea pigs, of course.
It's quite clear from his previous blog entry what he was working on.
Partly because it's rather obvious he will not skate for anything he dislikes and he will not do anything he doesn't like/want to. Luckily to him his current partner can skate to any music and do it well, whether she likes it or not (though from her interviews it seems she is fine with the music)
It's not like she/her federation could've afforded a first-class choreographer for a junior. At least she'll be noticed because her choreo is done by a currently top-rate skater.
Thanks for the link though, I've missed this entry. Indeed it seems he's doing the actual choreo.
Weell, to be honest he skated for what he didn't like constantly when he was paired with Mukhortova, so no wonder he wants to have more choice now. Plus it's not like Maxim himself is a talentless skater with no artistry whatsoever. They both gain a lot from the partnership, IMO.
This. And as a result of his new found "freedom", I think he's doing a lot of experimenting. I also think he'll refine his choreography with time. Last season he was excited about their SP music and working with a modern dancer. However, he realized and acknowledged, the original plan wasn't working. They modified the SP considerably by Worlds, but were stuck with the basic program. I think he has good ideas and will be able to develop them over time. Consider Steuer. His programs for S/S are sometimes hit and miss, but overall he's really improved with time. He also benefits with having a pair team that is able to take those edgy programs and perform them well (his other teams not so much).
It always cracks me up when FSU posters get all about Morosov choreography and can't figure out why anybody would use it. If I were a skater and I wanted to win, I wouldn't hesitate one second to use a Morosov program. Which is why he has all the business he can handle. I suspect most don't give a rat's patootie about his personal life. Or even that the programs aren't as aesthetic as others. They only care that if they execute the elements well, the judges will score them higher than the competition because the program is structured to get points. Fans may care, but the bottom line is winning the comp. Or it would be for me if I'd invested the amount of time and money it takes to become an elite skater. Thus, I don't fault any skater for using Morosov as a choreographer or even as a coach. I'm willing to give Trankov the benefit of the doubt that he'll go the Steuer route in the future rather than the Morosov route and hopefully he'll have skaters like S/S who can take that choreography and make it amazing. After all, he and Tatiana haven't done too badly with "crappy" Morosov choreography thus far.
rfisher, the point is that people don't think the program SHOULD be getting the points Morosov's programs often do. The
Duhamel/Radford at Worlds had three level four lifts, and one level three, unless I'm reading the protocols wrong, so I don't know what he's talking about there.
Probably about Radford's broken nose...
Well, the judges seem to think so, and since their's is the opinion that determines the winner of a comp, I'd go with them if I were a skater.
Yeah, cause internet skating fans never complain about the judges....
Of course you're correct - the judges think so, so it makes sense to continue going to him for choreography (ditto to Lori Nichol, who alse gets her fair share of complaints).
His programs are always complex. Some a little less than others obviously but I don't remember Steuer ever doing a basic, simple program.
Yes, I know all that. I'd rather skaters had good choreography instead of Morozov's shit, though.
And I would like the judges to reward complex programs and mark down the basic ones instead of judging on auto-pilot.
I'd like Steuer to chorograph for them as well, but he never gave V/M the same quality he gave S/S (probably because he knew very well Stas couldn't execute the elements). So, I expect V/T will go to Morozov for at least one of their programs through Sochi. And when they are on, it won't matter. Their free at 2012 Worlds was magnificent.
I believe Morozov when he says he will be done with His top team if they don't medal. Commitment is not a word in his vocabulary. His reputation is built on producing quick results and seizing opportunity, not loyalty. He is great at packaging and re-packaging skaters, but as a skater I would hate to have to rely on him in the season leading up to the Olympics.
Since that's not actually what he said (read the subsequent clarification), what do you believe then?

D. L. Hughley's unintentionally revealing interview with Bill O'Reilly
posted at 11:41 am on October 25, 2012 by Howard Portnoy
It's time to play Twenty Questions. Here are three clues: Your mystery person (1) is a current major party candidate for president, (2) is "smug and arrogant," (3) shows "disdain for people he can't relate to."
Was your answer Barack Obama? If it was, you aren't D.L. Hughley, who imputes these familiar qualities to the president's GOP opponent.
Hughley, a comedian by profession, was a guest on the O'Reilly Factor on Wednesday, where he explained why he openly dislikes Mitt Romney. His main grievance resides in his belief that Romney will not "uphold … tenets that [the nation] espouses," adding, "I'm used to presidents I don't like being presidents."
When Bill O'Reilly asked whether the entertainer would pin a Romney victory on racism, Hughley said that "there is an element in this country who despises race," but then acknowledged that the president's underwhelming performance in the first debate would be a factor.
The most revealing part of the debate came when Hughley was asked about his comment that Romney treated the president "like a servant" during the first debate. The exchange that followed is worth repeating in its entirety, if for no other reason than the nugget of comedic gold contained in its close:
Hughley: I think there is a certain level of respect, regardless of whether you like someone or not, that is afforded to the Office of the Presidency.
And, I think, that because [Romney] was trying to appeal to a lot of members of the right wing who wanted to see Obama taken down a peg that he basically tried—
O'Reilly: But I didn't think he was out of line. That's coming from me. Because, I think, when you saw me interview the President—
Hughley: —I thought that was out of line, too.
O'Reilly: OK, but if the alternative is to let the President who can basically do 18 minutes on your socks—
Hughley: Yes.
O'Reilly: —OK, just go wherever he wants. So, what's the worthiness of an interview like that.
Hughley: The difference between interrupting the president dozens of times and letting him get an answer out somewhere in the middle would probably be more acceptable.
O'Reilly: All right. But I don't think he was dissatisfied with either interview I did with him. Did you see my interview with George W. Bush.
Hughley: I actually had.
O'Reilly: It was the same amount of interview. And that's just who I am.
Hughley: Well, you had you to interrupt him because he didn't quite know what was going on.
O'Reilly: Oh, I see. So, difference of respect on the president changes. [Empasis added]
Hughley's comeback, in which he attempted to gloss over his overt "disrespect for the Office of the Presidency" by claiming that Obama has been treated worse than any predecessor, was as feeble as it is unintentionally hilarious.

How to eat to lose weight: what a 1,500 calorie day looks like
By Brierley Wright, M.S., R.D., January 4, 2013 - 10:22am
Brierley asks: How do you eat every day to keep your calories in check?
I eat whatever I want whenever I am hungry as long as it's real food. So, I stay away from processed foods like mayonnaise, which is loaded with sugar and salt. I also eat mostly organic meats and produce. I stay away from dairy, fruit juice and sweeteners and instead drink 2 - 3 fruit or green smoothies and plenty of water. I have not only lost weight just by eating healthier but I have more energy and am more focused at work. Oh, and my sex life seems to have improved as well.

There are a lot of awesome Apps on the market today that you can get for free. They scan bar codes of foods and have many others pre-programmed. It is a great way of keeping on top of the amount of Protein, Carbs, Fat, etc. that you are taking in everyday - not just total calories.
We, at CortiSLIM, are always happy to encourage healthy and responsible eating over crazy starvation diets!

I should have backed up the cart, and bought their inventory. Instead, I bought 30 rounds. I used a few rounds last year, on closing weekend, and it absolutely stoned the Mallards I shot. I am kind of stingy now with using them...
BTW, I also have used that Tungsten Iron in the past, and wasn't all that impressed.

My comments are from the overall message, often repeated, and just repeated on another thread 24 hours ago, with the simple message.....Regress to 4.9 and your mite problems will go away.
It is your comments in clear defense of these remarks, that make my comments directed at you. You need not say one thing or another or get defensive. It is your message, and comments being defensive, and spattering the conversation with 3000 of this, or two conferences of that, dropping names such as Lusby, and now mentioning your writing of a book....all adds up to you perhaps not being exactly quoted as saying this or that, but the message is loud and clear.
Someone said "regress and your mite problem go away". I questioned and targeted that. You defended it in every way. But now step back and suggest you actually did not say it.
For the record (part 2).....I never wrote a book. So I have no vested interest in promoting smallcell. I was the first that I recall, to openly stick my neck out long before any studies or others coming forward discounting smallcell. But just as I give a pro/con view on many things, such as TBH and Warre hives posted on my website, I only say what I know, what I have found out, etc. No book deals. No speaker engagements. No stroking my own ego thinking I'm part of some movement while having blinders on, or making a name for myself trying to be on the cutting edge. I try it, and tell you what I found. I know that ticks some off.
BTW....I will be happy to sell one of my smallcell for 25,000. Paypal and credit cards excepted. :roll:
BjornBee,I have mainly lurked here and other Bee forums and I have always respected your views.
I am curious what your theory is about all this? Another words do you believe the claims small cell keepers make about the mites, but they have mistakenly attributed it to the small cell or do you think they are just over stating their success? While you have not come right out and said it, is it safe to believe you don't think small cells helps with the mites?
I am a hobby Bee keeper, foundationless so I guess my bee's cells are what ever the bees make them. So I have no dog in this fight one way or the other......but I am always trying to learn.Stu
Quote from: BjornBee on June 28, 2010, 10:42:57 PMBTW....I will be happy to sell one of my smallcell for 25,000. Paypal and credit cards excepted. :roll:Well shoot, if paypal and credit is excepted, that leaves cash or check, and I don't keep that kind of cash around!! :-P
Bjorn, I will take you up on that hive. Of course, you will also have to guarantee it will overwinter safely for 20 years and produce 3 deeps of honey each year. That, and help me find a market to sell that honey at 20.00 per lb. From what I have read here, that shouldn't be too much to ask. :roll:I mean, my surviving hives, one of which was a swarm caught in 2001, and never treated, not even a screen bottom board, nor sc, only produced 84 lb. this year. I will consider myself lucky to average 5.00 per lb. for it, so the quality must not be near what sc honey is.
there is nothing natural about keeping bees. that might be the first concept that new beekeepers need to grasp. while you might want to do things as close to natural as you can, it is not natural to keep them in something, look at them routinely, pull parts of the hive apart, take honey, etc. it is also not natural to keep many hives in one area.once you figure out that there is no such thing as "natural beekeeping" you can figure out just how un-natural you want to get........

By Lambros Lambrou
"I have always had a problem with the tightening of the muscles in the groin area," begins Josh, explaining a recent injury mystery. "Gradually the problem became worse and painful. I had a good season last year and was so keen to pick up and keep progressing but I only played one full game in pre-season. The Under-18 game against West Ham two weeks ago was my first full match back", declares the midfielder.
"It took a while to get to the root of the problem. It has been stop-start all season. The physios have been great, but it has been a challenge for them. I would rest the injury, have some treatment and they would send me out to training, only for me to come back in again. Then we would try something else, but with the same results.
"It was quite worrying because it seemed so complicated and we were not making progress. A leg break is a bad injury, but with that, there is a set path back to full fitness. With my injury, we were not sure of the way forward and I was quite worried that we would not find the answer.
"However," continues Josh, "after a lot of investigation, it was eventually found that some of the muscles in my groin were over-working. It was a biomechanical problem. Once the cause was identified, a series of exercises were developed and refined to help correct it. As I got better at the exercises, I found an improvement in the injury and now I feel strong. I have to do the exercises every day but I can now run and kick a ball without pain. It was also found that my running style was not helping," he explains.
"So I have been trying to adopt a more relaxed, less stiff and tense action. I am also following a Yoga class. Per Mertesacker, Theo Walcott, Sebastien Squillaci and Vito Mannone were all doing it. I was intrigued and so I joined their class and gave it a go. I found it very helpful and the other week, Mr. Wenger joined in too. It helps relax and strengthen muscles at the same time. I certainly felt the benefits after the first session. I felt loose and relaxed. I want to incorporate it into my routine if possible now."
The treatments and exercises certainly look to be working as Josh excelled in the 1-0 win over West Ham. As he explained, it was the 18 year-old's first game back, but no-one would have believed it. "It was a tough game, but I felt really good. I have always been quite fit and the work I did with the fitness coach Craig Gant really helped and so I felt ready.
"I also believe that the experience I gained last season helped me because I perhaps used my energy more efficiently. I really enjoyed the game, but being out for so long also makes you appreciate the little things. I found myself smiling and really enjoying the pre-match routines. Every second of training feels even more special because when you are side-lined and worried about your future, when you get back you take nothing for granted."
The youngster did receive a boost during the dark times he experienced early in the season: "I was told last May that I would be given a professional contract, but when I picked up the injury and all the uncertainty around it, I was a little worried.

Blowback through carb
Post all the information you can about your motor. Brand of crankshaft, rods, pistons, head gasket compressed thickness or part number, brand and type heads, , brand of spark wires, type of spark plugs AC R45, part number of camshaft and type, hydraulic or solid tappet or Roller cam. Who built the motor? Who setup heads. Have you checked for vacuum leaks? Spray starting fluid all around intake flange and carburetor base at gasket. If idle goes up you have a leaking gasket. Tools you need are a vacuum gauge and timing light with advance. (has a knob on back end) Check spark plug wires with multimeter to see if you have continuity. What kind of car or truck (year and make) is the motor in? Read this article on HEI distributors and timing. http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/w...EI_distributor Use the vacuum gauge to set idle mixture screws. Make sure your fuel pump pressure to carburetor is about 5-5.5 psi. How or what adjustments did you make to the jets on the QFT 680? Has the engine back fired thru the carburetor if so you may need to replace power valve. Get a vacuum reading at idle. If the reading is say 10 divide by 2 = 5. Use a 4.5 power valve. Here is the instructions for your carburetor. http://www.quickfueltechnology.com/I...ons_Rev._1.pdf
|Sounds a lot like a blown powervalve.
When it "fires up" on starter fluid, does it run after that or does it shut down after a few seconds?
What is the ignition timing set at?
What pistons and heads are you using?
Blowback through carb
Having difficulty tuning my rebuilt 327. Engine is knocked up with race performance internals and is the first time I've ever tried tuning a motor this hot. Whenever I try to start the engine, mostly when it's already warm, I have to crank it over and over and play around with pumping the gas pedal. Sometimes I have to pump more than other times and sometimes I don't have to pump at all and it will fire up. But most the time when it tries to start, burnt gas fumes and un-burned gas come jumping back out the top of the carb. Lots of smoke and really embarrassing! Whenever i use a shot of starter fluid then crank it over, it fires right up. I've adjusted timing and even main jets on carb. which is a QFT 680. Could I possibly have the wrong aluminum head spark plugs or maybe not enough spark? I have a 12:1 compression, mallory distributor w petronix II ignitor and a 40,000 V coil.

Hi Everyone,
Do you have different tips to make the grammar rules for kids easier?
For example I have heard from somebody that she taught the kids that they could remember the letters s,o,x, ch,sh that after them there is "es" by the name of the team player "sox" and just ch,sh separately.
Do you have some interesting tips that you use them regarding some topics in grammar?
Thank you all,

Meritus Health Hosts Pink Palooza to Raise Breast Cancer Awareness
For one woman, 2010 was a dark year for Judy Shifflett.
"Scared to death. When you hear you have cancer, you're scared to death," said Shifflett.
It was a year where she fought for her life and part of that fight was going through with a double mastectomy. It is a decision she is grateful she made everyday but an experience she is hoping she helps other women to prevent.
"Just because you think you're young, you need to examine your breasts. You need to be aware of anything when your insurance pays, go for those mammos. It can hit anybody," said Shifflett.
She was just one of many who attended Meritus Health's Pink Palooza event on Friday, spreading lifesaving messages amidst a sea of the bright color.
"Early detection is the best thing that you need for breast cancer so the sooner people can get their mammograms and the self breast exams and see a doctor, the sooner they can be treated," said Andrea Garnand, technical supervisor of John Marsh Cancer Center.
One way organizers spread that message was by making 18 bras which became a discussion starter.
Some were made of copper, grass and even pumpkins. Dinner was also prepared, inviting the public to hear stories of inspiration with Judy amongst them.
"I am lucky to have my birthdays come. I'm lucky to be alive. I can joke. People wonder how I can laugh about it," said Shiflett.
Throughout the event, there was also a beer tasting, a silent auction, and a speech from Tamela Rich, a woman who shared her story as a breast cancer advocate.

CHAPEL HILL - The Los Angeles Clippers selected Reggie Bullock, North Carolina's most valuable player in 2012-13, with the 25th pick in the first round of the 2013 NBA Draft.
Bullock is the 45th Tar Heel selected in the NBA Draft's first round and the 14th to play for head coach Roy Williams at UNC.
"I am thrilled, just absolutely thrilled for the young man," Williams says. "I'm as ecstatic as I could possibly be. I spoke to Reggie just moments after he was selected and he's so happy and excited. He really did a great job throughout the pre-draft process with his workouts and interviews, especially with the Clippers.
"Everyone knows by now that I was a bit scared initially about his decision to enter the draft because the NBA people that I spoke to said he was a borderline first or second round pick. Most of them told me they thought he would go in the top of the second round, including the NBA evaluation committee. So that was the cause of my concern for someone I care so much about. But the Clippers selecting Reggie in the first round shows everyone how well he performed under pressure in the pre-draft workouts. I take my hat off to him. He earned that first round pick.
"He's going to play for an outstanding coach in Doc Rivers, a friend of mine. Doc's going to do great things with the Clippers and I am just thrilled that Reggie is going to get a chance to be part of that success."
Bullock is the first Tar Heel to be drafted by the Clippers since Joe Wolf in 1987.
Bullock averaged 13.9 points and 6.5 rebounds last year for the Tar Heels. He made 88 three-pointers, the third-most in UNC single-season history, handed out 101 assists and had 44 steals.
The Kinston, N.C., native was third in the ACC in three-point percentage, fourth in three-point field goals, 13th in scoring and 14th in rebounding.
He earned second-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference honors from both the coaches and media and was a first-team All-ACC Tournament selection.
In three seasons at Carolina, Bullock scored 989 points in 100 games, an average of 9.9 per game. He made 188 three-pointers and scored 20 or more points six times with a career-high 24 against Maryland as a junior. He shot 38.7 percent from three-point range (188 of 486), the 11th-highest in UNC history.
Bullock is the 25th collegian to play for Roy Williams to be drafted in the first round (11 Kansas players and 14 Tar Heels). He is the 106th UNC player selected in the NBA Draft.

The much anticipated NFL Draft began yesterday evening (Thursday, April 25th) and as hundreds of players await the news that will forever change their lives, Harold Richardson, executive director of the East-West Shrine Game®, reflected on his time with the NFL.
Harold Richardson, former NFL general manager and coach, is the executive director of the East-West Shrine Game, a thrilling college all-star football game benefiting Shriners Hospitals for Children®. An alumnus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Richardson's extensive 22-year background in professional football includes serving as general manager of the Atlanta Falcons (1998-2002) and coach for both the New Orleans Saints and Denver Broncos. In 1998, under Richardson's leadership, the Atlanta Falcons made their first appearance in the Super bowl during game XXXIII. Prior to leading professional football teams, Richardson coached at the collegiate level for 12 years.
As the 2013 NFL Draft kicked off last night, the East-West Shrine Game wished their many alumni the best of luck and awaited the decisions with the rest of the nation. "The East-West Shrine Game has always fielded players among college football's best," said Richardson. "With all 32 NFL teams represented by GMs, coaches and scouts during the week of the game, our players have the terrific opportunity to showcase their talents and get their first glimpse of the NFL." While Richardson noted that the NFL Draft is anything but an exact science, he is confident in East-West Shrine Game players' exposure to the appropriate decision makers; providing a huge advantage to those seeking professional football careers. Richardson noted that, "During any given season there are between 250 to 280 East-West Shrine Game alumni on NFL rosters, thus making our game a terrific launching pad to the NFL."
When asked about player selection strategies, Richardson reminisced on the days quarantined with fellow team leadership during the draft. "Every team has different approaches to player selection strategies," said Richardson. "It is important to have a comprehensive strategy that allows you to choose the best players as well as selecting those that meet your roster needs."
Richardson, along with other members of the East-West Shrine Game staff, extend their best wishes to all the eligible athletes and look forward to watching East-West alumni embark on their professional football careers.

My g60 Corrado has 98,000 on it. i just did the following :
Fuel Filter
Spark Plugs
Timing Belt
Water Pump
ISV Reroute
Im running a stock airbox with the K&N Drop in.
I had this problem prior to doing all of this work and i did all of these things because of mileage. When the car starts say first thing in the morning or when its been sitting a while, It idles really rough almost to the point of stalling. Also i can smell and see that the car is running really rich. Once the car warms up, it idles beautifully and drives good with no issues. Doesnt over heat or anything. I noticed that my supercharger is slightly leaking oil so i got a Rebuild kit that is on its way but this wouldnt cause a rough idle..
1. I noticed that when i unplug my ISV, nothing changes ( possibly a sign that the valve isnt working?)
2. I was going to pull my plugs to see which cylinder is running rich ( if any )
3. I replaced the vacuum line going to my FPR because it blew. Possibly damaged the FPR?
Like i said earlier once the car is at operating temperature it runs great. Could it be that something is keeping the engine at open loop?
These are the next things im going to check:
-Coolant Temp sensors
-PCM Grounds
-02 Sensor
- Ignition Timing? although i dont see how this could change with the temperature.
- Vacuum lines
if anyone has any input on whats going on please let me know because this car runs great. i just want it to run great all the time especially with winter on its way.

From time to time, we hear from readers with stories of high-profile concrete projects or comments on a recent article. But every once in a while, we'll get a different kind of note. For several years now, THE CONCRETE PRODUCER'S editors received letters from a truck enthusiast named James Hernandez in Hesperia, Calif.
James' letters almost always include a copy of a newspaper article, a photo of himself, or a colorful drawing of a ready-mix truck (our personal favorites). A devoted fan of ready-mix trucks, he reaches out to concrete producers and industry publications to share his passion. In his own words:
I am a 38-year-old handicapped person whose hobbies include photographing, drawing, and painting concrete trucks. Concrete trucks are very important to our economy. Without them we would not have buildings to begin with. Can you imagine no stores, no homes, no restaurants, or other structures made of concrete? This would be a tragedy and that is why it makes me so very happy when I see a concrete truck out on the road or at a jobsite.
It's apparent from his descriptions that James has spent many hours studying these trucks in action.
A reason I like the ready-mix concrete truck is because cement, aggregate and water get loaded into the drum so it can mix all the ingredients to create concrete. When I see one on the road…with the booster axle up and the big wheels down, I get very happy because I know they are going to the jobsite.
I really enjoy seeing the driver raise the booster axle, watching him hang the cutes onto the back of the truck, and next – out comes the concrete.
In studying the movements and workings of trucks delivering concrete near his home, James has discovered a basic truth that we can all relate to, especially in recent years:
I enjoy keeping track of as many ready-mix concrete trucks on the road as I can. This makes me happy as it means that business is good and people are working and making money to support their families.
James has established relationships with several local producers, including Superior Ready Mix (Escondido, Calif.), Hi-Grade Materials (Hesperia), National Ready Mix Concrete Co. (Moorpark, Calif.), and Robertson's Ready Mix (Hesperia). "James writes to us and we send him calendars, hats, and t-shirts," says Bill Forrest, a Robertson's sales representative. "He's also sent us a camera and asked us to take pictures of our trucks in different locations."
Using these photos for inspiration, James creates colorful and imaginative – although precisely accurate – drawings of ready-mix trucks and pumpers.
We'd like to share some of the artwork he has sent us over the years, and invite you to vote on your favorite picture. The readers' top choice will be featured in the September/October issue of THE CONCRETE PRODUCER.

Guess I am getting older and wobbly as my welds are sometime not so good..have to work on some settings and some patience..making round corners make a lot of sense..
My problem is I always want to do just one more tack and "BAM" a burn throu.
patience IS a virtue...
I don't get the copper backing because frankly, if your gap is tight enough, you aren't going to have burn thrus, at least not many before you knock yourself in the head and stop doing it.
|using a copper backer will absorb the heat and add support strength while welding along with cutting down the burn throughs
|I use to have that problem also, and I heard its because the corner is getting heat from two directions and it is kind of like the stopping point, so the heat gets concentrated in the corners. I started making the corners round and that helps a lot.
I always use the largest radius corner that makes sense and never leave it square.
|Is there a better shape than a square or rectangle for a patch like maybe 45 degree corners instead of 90 degrees? It seems like when I cut out square patches, they seem to want to warp more. Is this true or just me? 90 degree corners are easier to cut out but not if they warp more when welded.
Nice test. Good stuff. I think no gaps on corners can be an issue though if the patch panel or whatever you're butt welding in has square edges. What I mean is sometimes I'll let the metal get a little hot so the weld sinks slightly but doesn't do any warping, if I have backside access for a hammer and dolly. Then I hammer and dolly while you're presumably supposed to cool the weld. This is a quick way of doing it and ending up with straight metal, but you know that. Anyhow, when you do this that square corner CAN warp on you a tad even though nothing else warped, so I always make sure there's a slight gap on corners or maybe round it off a bit.
I had an episode on my video blog about how not to do things where I mudded a guy's quarter patch panel and it was shrunk to high hell and he didn't metal work the mangled quarter while the old metal was cut off and had access to it. I was kind of grumbling about it in the video and due to all the metal work and deciding to just peck down the highs and fill I overlooked one thing...the squared corner warped far beyond a couple inches. The rest of the weld zone was just sunk in bad but no real warpage to deal with but that corner had a tital wave coming out of it.
I never use water but sometimes if I'm in a rush I'll let it cool naturally for about two minutes and zap it lightly with some air. Most of the time I just let it cool naturally and game plan around it. It's never really an issue with time.
A little display on weld techniques and warping.
Back a while ago we were talking about methods of butt welding and the idea of using a gap came up, of cooling came up, hammer welding, there are many different methods to join two pieces of sheetmetal and most were mentioned.
I got to thinking how could you really test them, head to head? Without some sort of measuring method, how could you honestly say one is better than another? Sure you could feel it and know that one is better than another but how could you show the difference. I came up with this idea, to get a piece of 18 gauge mild steel bent into a 90 degree angle, cut a slice into it and butt weld it. Then check it with a straight edge and see how much your weld altered it.
Hmmm, this could work. It worked pretty well on this one little example.
I drilled a hole right at the bend in the metal so I could cut all the say to that hole at the bend. Using tin snips to cut the perfect tight butt weld that I believe in couldn't be done without putting that hole so I just put the hole in both of them so they would be the same. The other piece I cut with a 1/32" cut off wheel.
Both pieces were perfectly straight when I started, checked with an aluminum yard stick. I cleaned the metal on both sides as well so they would be exactly the same outside of the cut method.
I did a nice hot tack on my butt welded piece then let it cool naturally, no cooling what so ever with water or air or anything. Just a nice fast tack with the welder set hotter than recommended for sheetmetal. My thoughts are if you weld it fast you are creating less heat because you don't have to heat the metal with the weld to get it to penetrate. WHAM it's done this way, very little heat.
The other one I welded short tacks then cooled the weld with water. I did let it set between welds so it wasn't like a bead, just tack, cool then set it down and to the other one and even walk away for a bit. There was no rush, just weld and cool and let it set for a while.
You can barely see the results (it was hard to capture it in a photo) but the one with the tight gap and letting the welds cool naturally has zero shrinkage by the test. The piece remained perfectly straight. The other piece is noticeably bent with the yardstick resting on the center there is about an 1/8" inch gap on both sides!
Now, this is far from a scientific test, but I kept everything as close to perfect as I could with the metal being cut from the same piece and exactly the same length. I planned on doing a bunch of them with cooling and a gap and not cooling and a gap and so on but I only had the two pieces to use and thought I would do the both extremes and leave it at that for now.

WaPo columnist Marc Thiessen: still a Bush speechwriter at heart
Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen could hardly have written a more dishonest attack on President Obama if that had been his primary goal.
Thiessen writes [1] that "Obama is the real obstructionist at his health-care summit" because Obama has no interest in "bipartisan compromise." Thiessen bases his assertion that Obama is uninterested in compromise on the fact that no Republicans have supported Democratic health care proposals. That's a questionable claim on its face; it's downright absurd if you know that Obama's health care proposal -- like the bills passed in both the House and the Senate -- already contain significant concessions to the GOP. Not just concessions like "not being single-payer" and "not including a public option" -- though those are significant concessions Democrats have made. But the bills also include ideas Republicans have long supported. As Politico recently put it [2]:
the pillars of the Senate bill resemble proposals that have been embraced by the GOP, most notably in a proposal offered last year by former Senate Majority Leaders Bob Dole (R-Kan.) and Howard Baker (R-Tenn.) and by Republicans during the 1993-94 health care reform debate. Major elements are also remarkably similar to a plan put forward by Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.).
the Senate bill allows families and businesses to purchase insurance across state lines, a favorite policy proposal of the right. ... Republicans say states should decide how they want to do reform. But the Senate bill already goes a step in that direction.
So, Democrats have included Republican ideas, but Republicans refuse to support the bill anyway, leading Marc Thiessen to write that Democrats are uninterested in bipartisan compromise.
Next, Thiessen writes: "The president's real objective is to paint GOP leaders as obstructionists -- so that Democrats have an excuse to ram through their health-care legislation using extraordinary parliamentary procedures."
By "extraordinary parliamentary procedures," Thiessen presumably means "reconciliation." And he presumably knows reconciliation isn't all that "extraordinary" -- it was used to pass significant portions of President Bush's agenda. Thiessen presumably knows that because Thiessen worked as a speechwriter in the Bush White House.
Then Thiessen calls Obama "dishonest" and points to the fact that Senate Democrats worked with President Bush as evidence that Barack Obama hasn't reached out to Republicans. But, again, the simple fact is that Obama and Democrats did reach out. They did so with last year's stimulus package, which, in an effort to win GOP votes, was smaller and heavier on tax cuts than liberals wanted. They did so with the health care legislation. When Side A makes significant concessions to win the support of Side B, but Side B withholds their support anyway, Side A can hardly be blamed for a refusal to compromise.
I'm sure Thiessen and his boss Fred Hiatt would say Thiessen is simply expressing an opinion, which is the whole point of being an opinion columnist. But Thiessen isn't doing so honestly -- not even remotely. Thiessen could make the case that the concessions Democrats have made are insufficient, or that the inclusion of Republican ideas in the various health care bills do not do enough to outweigh the ideas they think are bad. But he doesn't do that. He simply pretends there were no such concessions, that there are no Republican ideas in the bill. That isn't honest.
But it's what we have come to expect from Fred Hiatt's Washington Post [3].

Hello all my name is Vincent i am 26yo and come from France.
I just returned from a 6 weeks volunteering project in Xi'An,China.
Helping with basic education of autistic children.
I enjoyed my time in china and was wondering what were my chances,as a non native speaker with only a TEFL (which i plan to get very soon) to find any type of english teaching jobs in Asia..
I already know that my skills would be too limited in order to teach in universities or such,so i was thinking about lower grades/lower age students.
For the basics of english i assume.
Even though i am not teaching in France.
I did not graduate from high school in france back then (1 year missing)
But having spent a year in the USA and a year in London i do believe i have a strong english,at least for a non native.
I met a Texas native teacher in XI'An who told me i shouldnt have a problem finding jobs,but i also heard from local english teachers that being a non native speaker it could get pretty difficult..
So,will i be able to find a good working conditions in asia ?
or am i doomed to the worse jobs anyhow?
(i am mostly interested by cities over country side towns)
Any suggestions?advices?
Thanks in advance

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I agree with Camaradie...Big is easy to sail. My first bareboat was with a 463 beneteau. 7 people(most non-sailors) on board. What a great trip!
Get your wife on the helm.
I have been reading Steve and Linda Dashews The Circumnavigators Handbook this weekend, crammed with good stuff,its one thats going to take a couple readings, but one thing he has said, several times is that racing is the most concentrated way to gain experience in sailing that there is. And to teach how to become one with your boat. And he backs it up with a lot of experienced explanations. Something to think about.
Some parallels to horse back riding. An old Indian proverb is Ride your horse every day, and in a year both will know the others heart. Makes sense.
i forgot one thing - i sail her a lot as boat are like women - each is different and want to be treated different - the boat and i are getting to know each other and sailing much better - how do i measure - i belong to a local sailing club that has once a month nothing serious fun races and when i first started i could finish maybe - now i place and even the old experienced sailors (may with major racing creditials) have commented to me how much my sailing has improved over the years - but again i sail 3 weeks out of 4 early on and now 3 out of 5 -
so once you get a boat sail her a lot - it is not like driving a car in that all are about the same - each boat has a it's own likes and dislikes and you can only find them by sailing her
chuck and soulmates
I agree with NCountry - your major disadvanage is time - i can only tell you what i did but it parells a lot of what NC talked about - At age 55 i took up sailing - a sig other who is about your wifes size and i took 3 ASA sailing course together as the captain/instructor will make you work as a team and not one issuing orders to the other - second i chartered a few times to try various size boats - third i did a lot of reading and studying on boats and what i wanted in a boat - fourth i spent a lot of time a boat shows asking question and learning about boats and brokers - fifth i did find an experienced former cruiser who took time to help me learn even more about boats and this person was also an owner of a boat dealership - he did not pressure me to buy a boat until we both understood what i wanted and then worked to find it - it took 2+ years before i bought my boat and i bought a 40' - now at age 60 and sig other taking off with a new friend i can still sail my 40' single handed as i had her set up for ease of handling for the smallest person on board - my boat by the way is a Jeanneau DS40 and i plan to sail both the east coast, bahamas and coastal central america - good luck
just my thoughts and what worked for me
chuck and soulmates
I would suggest not to go smaller than 30', the bay can get ugly quick. On the other hand if you go over 35-40' you may find it very expensive and difficult to find a slip. Annapolis area marinas are outrageous, call a few and you'll see. Be weary of marinas that seem to good to be true.
One thing you definitely want to consider is draft, one of the main reasons we selected the centerboard configuration on our boat (4' board up). The average depth of the bay is about 5', if you enjoy gunk-holing you'll want to keep the draft under 5' if you really want to get into some of the prettiest and peaceful coves on the bay.
Otherwise, pick the one you fall in love with. We almost purchased a Pearson 30 (a great boat) that was considerably less, but when we saw the Tartan 37 we couldn't look at anything else. It just felt right!
Send me a email if you like.
|We too started small - Seafarer 22, Catalina 27, Gulfstar 36, and now our retirement boat, a Hunter 41. We sail the Chesapeake and hope to cruise down the ICW and spend next winter in the Keys and Bahamas. I agree with the other comments, and wives (mine especially) are especially cognizant of the sleeping accomodations, head and shower, and galley. We like the Hunter design for ease of coastal sailing, all lines led aft, fractional jib, large cockpit, good galley and head, reasonable price, and generous sleeping cabin. We used Bill Yates of Adventure Yachts in Annapolis to find our last boat, and he was extremely knowledgable and patient. He's a livaboard cruiser.
|Nobody has mentioned it but I'd be reading on sailing/seamanship for couples, read about others mistakes before making your own, go to some sailing schools singly and as a couple, a school could help your wife a lot. You are in a great area to be looking for boats, dont get hung up on local, as you can see a couple hundred miles north or south can show you a lot more then you have local which is a lot. You can probably find a course or two down Fla way for a winter excursion and give you both time to think things over, myself in your shoes I think I'd be looking for a 34-35' boat, more amenities, and able to do more sailing in. But thats me. Not you. Make a list of what each of you wants in a boat and then make it into one list. Maybe do this after the courses.
I bought a used boat this year and have the following thoughts to share:
1. You should own the boat and not vice versa. Don't spend a fortune on it. There are plenty of good "starter" boats around that can be bought for reasonable money. Choose a few solid designs that you like and then look around the boatyards. You will probably find a few that haven't been used for a while.
2. A boat that needs a good cleaning and some cosmetics can often be bought at the same price as one with a serious defect.
3. Make absolutely sure that you have identified all of the problems before you make an offer. A good surveyor is worth his fee but don't accept his findings blindly. If it doesn't look good to you, find out why.
4. Sails and rigging, especially standing rigging, are important. Check them carefully.
5. Make a list of the items that must be done to get the boat ready for use and price each one. When you add all the money you must spend to put a boat in serviceable shape to the purchase price, the total must be a good deal less than what the finished project might sell for. 80% or less is a good target.
My purchase was a C&C 30 MkI that had been unused for over 10 years without benefit of any intervening maintenance. For what it is worth, here is what it has taken thus far to make it usable:
*Reupholster all interior cushions.
*Repair frozen diesel engine.
*Strip bottom and repaint. (Took advantage of this to apply epoxy barrier coat also.)
*Polish topside gelcoat
*Pull propeller shaft, clean, polish bearing and packing areas and reinstall with new packing and zinc.
*New topside handrails
*Refinish topside woodwork
*New companionway drop board
*New Compass
*New ground tackle
*New VHF
*New dodger
*Refurbish sails (sailmaker)
You and your wife should both be capable of sailing the boat single-handed, as that is essentially what you will be doing if you cruise as a couple. The boat, regardless of size, should be rigged to be single-handed. I would go with a 30-35' boat, rather than a <30' boat, as it will be far more comfortable for you, and not all that much harder to handle than a smaller boat. Anything larger than 35' is going to be a bit too much for you, especially given your limited experience.
You and your wife should both take a good "coastal cruising" course, but I would recommend that you take them separately, rather than as a couple. In many cases, when a couple takes a cruising course, one of the couple will often learn far less than if they had taken them seperately, since one will often defer to their spouse.
Also, join a local yatch club and race or sail there, as a season of sailing on a racing boat will teach you a lot more about sailing than a season of just sailing by yourself. Also, the techniques you learn about tweaking the performance on a racing boat will be useful when you're sailing a cruising boat in light winds and need to maximize performance.
Puntapete: I generally sit back and read what everyone else has to say. Usually I have a considerable amount of humor associated with what I read on these forums. Some postings are from people that have a genuine love of their boats and they take great care to do all the upkeep to keep them nice. Others are more along the lines of the self appointed experts. You'll have to do a lot of reading in these forums to know who is who.
I started out as a youngster sailing an AMC Sunfish. Later on I owned a Catalina 22 and now I have a 30 Islander Bahama. All of them taught me something about sailing. With that said I'll offer my humble opinion. (and I don't claim to be an expert.)
The sunfish was great for getting the basics. The downside was that it was not something I would go out in when the wind went above 15 knots. It was also a great way to stay wet so it wouldn't be my choice in colder climates.
The 22 was great as a day sailor and for some overnights. It was small in the cabin but since I'm only 5'7" it was cozy. Based on your size I would discourage you from a boat without adequte headroom.
The 30 is actually easier to sail than either of the other two. It also gives me the ability to sail year round. It is a great family cruiser BUT is by no means a boat I would take on an extended cruise and I'll be upgrading within the next 2 to 3 years to a blue water cruiser. (since I've now owned several sizes of boat I feel much better about my abilities to judge what I need in a cruiser.)
With that said I think you have a basic problem "TIME" as in you don't have a lifetime of it to learn what you need to know. Your only option, as it appears to me, is to, A. take a costal cruising course and, B. plan on getting the bigger boat. BUT---make good friends with someone that has that lifetime of experience and listen carefully and strongly consider their judgement when buying the bigger boat. DO NOT let the writers of an internet forum be your reference source in this situation. Don't get me wrong, these forums are a great resource and there are some very knowledgable people that frequent these boards BUT there are also way to many "self appointed experts" that will offer opinions and not being able to see them in person and have a conversation with them is a terrible handicap when trying to decide if they know what they are talking about and if their opinion is valid.
With all that said I would offer 2 pieces of advice.
1. SHOP SHOP SHOP.....spend all the time looking at boats that you can BEFORE you decide on the one you will purchase. You'll see lots of "stinkers" that brokers will try to pass off as great boats and you'll see some real gems that will show obvious pride of ownership.
2. Spend time at any marina you can with a lot of boats and don't be shy about offering to crew on as many boats as you can. You'll gain some very valuable sailing experience as well as learning about many of the features that you will ultimately want on you boat.
Just my 2 cents...........
Fair Winds to all

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is an advanced type of radiation therapy used to treat cancer and noncancerous tumors.
IMRT uses advanced technology to manipulate photon and proton beams of radiation to conform to the shape of a tumor.
IMRT uses multiple small photon or proton beams of varying intensities to precisely irradiate a tumor. The radiation intensity of each beam is controlled, and the beam shape changes throughout each treatment.
The goal of IMRT is to conform the radiation dose to the target and to avoid or reduce exposure of healthy tissue to limit the side effects of treatment.

There is no recess at G.C. Burkhead Elementary School, at least no block of time labeled recess. Instead, teachers and students make playtime more purposeful by focusing on social skills.
At the elementary school, recess isn't looked at as a hiatus from the learning of the day, but as another lesson. And while not all schools call a break from the books a social skills lesson, it's still considered by many to be just that.
School administrators and teachers see multiple advantages of recess, but one of the most important is the physical benefits students see when they get a little play in their day.

Human lung anatomy facts
- The lungs exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air we breathe and the blood.
- The tracheobronchial tree is the passage way from the mouth to the interior of the lung.
- Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli deep in the lungs.
- Breathing air in (inhalation) requires muscular effort.
- Air is warmed, humidified, and cleaned by the nose and lungs.
What does breathing accomplish?
The cells in the body constantly need a new supply of oxygen to produce energy. With lack of oxygen, cellular function is impaired and damage or cell death may occur. As energy is utilized, waste products are created, one of which is the gas carbon dioxide. Eliminating carbon dioxide from the body is just as important as breathing in oxygen from the air. If carbon dioxide builds up in the blood it will lead to headaches, drowsiness, coma, and eventually even death.
What are the lungs?
What is the structure of the respiratory system?
Air enters the body via the nose (preferably) or the mouth. The air enters the main windpipe, called the trachea, and continues en route to each lung via either the right or left bronchus (plural=bronchi). The lungs are separated into sections called lobes, two on the left and three on the right. The air passages continue to divide into ever smaller tubes, which finally connect with tiny air sacs called alveoli. This gradually branching array of tubes is referred to as the tracheobronchial "tree" because of the remarkable similarity to the branching pattern of a tree.
The other half of the respiratory system involves blood circulation. Venous blood from the body is returned to the right side of the heart and then pumped out via the pulmonary artery. This artery splits in two for the left and right lungs and then continues to branch much like the tracheobronchial tree. These vessels branch into a fine network of very tiny tubes called capillaries. The capillaries are situated adjacent to the alveoli and are so small that only one red blood cell at a time can pass through their openings. It is during this passage that gases are exchanged between the blood and the air in the nearby alveoli. After passing the alveoli, capillaries then join together to begin forming the pulmonary veins, which carry the blood back to the left side of the heart.
