Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > CID Seminar: BaLA: School Building as a Learning Aid
BaLA or Building as Learning Aid is a concept developed by VINYÃS in India. BaLA centers on using the uniqueness of three-dimensional spaces to create child-centric learning settings and resources in schools. It aims to innovate school spaces (corridors, classrooms, activity rooms, terraces, backyards, etc) and school built elements (like walls, floor, ceiling, door, windows) to create new learning resources that acquire an educational value beyond their basic function. For example, angles can be marked under door shutters to give children a concrete idea about the angles in real life, or the window grill can be shaped as a pre-writing aid to help in the development of fine and gross motor movement of hands. The window glass panels can be used as a tracing surface for maps etc, so that the built environment can be harnessed to provide learning material which may not be easily accessible to children in rural India. There is a pool of more than 150 such design ideas for pre-schools and elementary schools that has been developed by VINYÃS that can stimulate children through spaces in their social, emotional, cognitive, physical and aesthetic domains. Since inception, VINYÃS has advised and provided consultancy to the Government of India, UNICEF, UNESCO, UNDP, the World Bank, Department for International Development of UK (DFID), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ), Aga Khan Foundation, Rajiv Gandhi Foundation, Housing and Urban Development Corporation, several Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) and private institutions on matters related to education, early childhood care, building design, conservation, tourism, training, construction, policy, etc. Apart from research and design, VINYÃS conducts workshops and training programmes for administrators, architects, engineers, teachers and masons in participative design and construction practices. One of the key idea developed by VINYÃS has been BaLA - Building as Learning Aid, which is gradually transforming schools and pre-schools across India now. Kabir and Preeti are architects based in India with extensive experience in developing learning environments of schools in rural as well as urban areas. Preeti is also an Urban Planner and Professor. They both co-founded VINYÃS in 1996 – to undertake innovative, application oriented, interdisciplinary research and to design, build capacity and provide policy support to expand the value of the built envelope. Their work was amongst the 32 Great stories of change: Inventive Indians in 2009. DOMUS, an international architecture and design magazine covered their work in 2011. A leading Indian magazine, The Week identified Kabir as one of the 30 "Pearls of India," in December 2011. Kabir was elected to become life time Ashoka Fellow by Ashoka Innovators for the Public in 2012.

One of the topics that gets the most heat every time a new Ubuntu release is out is that of Upgrading. If you take a quick look through any Ubuntu forum out there, you will likely see how most experienced users will advice not to upgrade to a new version, but backup your data and run a fresh install instead. In fact, I am pretty sure that most experienced Linux users will tell you to use a fresh installation. It is a fair statement, and a much safer approach.
Having said so, some times you have no choice but to take the upgrade route. Specially for corporations who stick to LTS (Long Term Support) releases and only upgrade once every 2 years, this is critical. Therefore, when you have to take the upgrade path, it is VERY important to get ready and be prepared for anything.
NOTE: This is by no means a Linux or Ubuntu specific thing. The company I work for now tests Windows Service Pack releases for weeks, even months some times. It does require a huge amount of effort and resources to find out how old applications will cope with new Windows releases or patches.
William Shotts has recently published two very good blog entries with advice on how to approach this upgrade process. With simple examples and very clear insights, I think these articles will help anybody who´s thinking of upgrading to Lucid Linx when it comes out next month.
Getting ready for Ubuntu 10.04, PART 1
Getting ready for Ubuntu 10.04, PART 2
I think these series will continue and involve more blog entries, so I would recommend following them up. However, even with the information provided so far, you have very good hints at what to look into. In fact, these activities usually have a lot to do with common sense, so do not simply follow these articles. Make sure you think of things which may be specific to your setup, and how you can overcome any issues that may be a result from the upgrade process.
Most importantly, expect no miracles from any upgrade process, regardless of the OS. Be sure to get yourself prepared!

Hi Chema,ReplyDelete
I am planning for "Getting Ready For Ubuntu 10.04" to be a five-part series. Thanks for the mention!
Hi, WilliamReplyDelete
My pleasure, really. I feel lots of people suffer from assuming an upgrade process will magically "just work", so when I saw your article series I felt it was worth sharing!

You probably don't want to run into a gang in a dark alley but if you do, you will want this gang to be your side: Savannah Howard, Nicholas Kaim, and Levi, Nathaniel and Hannah Brinkman are an imposing group as they pose in their Dojo (training studio) Tuesday night.
State Attorney General Pam Bondi was in Cedar Key recently with her fiancé, Greg Henderson. They stopped by Kona Joe's Island Café on State Road 24 for something to eat and a chance to be photographed with Joe Sterople and Edie Zaprir on the wrap around porch of their new location. When she is not working in Tallahassee, Bondi commutes to Tampa and the couple flew up to Cedar Key for the day for a few hours of rest and relaxation.

text: I've seen the photos of the ROTJ helmet...heck, I've seen it in person! Does the ESB helmet have the curcuit board peaking through the vent? And does it have the "knobs" poking through? Were those knobs/rods/dials whatever added to the curcuit board? I haven't seen a thread that discusses this element.

I love video as a communication media. The combination of sound and moving pictures so much more engaging and more memorable than text.
We wrote in our research last year about how we're starting to see video being used more and more by eBusiness teams as an efficient and effective way to educate customers about products, encourage sales and deliver customer service.
With the Academy Awards coming up, we thought it would be both fun and helpful to highlight some of the best examples we've seen of online video in retail financial services in the past year. With the help of the rest of team, I've drawn up a list of our favourites in five categories:
Product marketing video
DNB's S for Savings Plan video (Norway).
PayPal's future of shopping video.
Service marketing video
Commonwealth Bank of Australia's Welcome to NetBank video.
E*Trade's Take Control In 3 Easy Steps video (US).
Mint.com's 90-second overview (US).
Lloyds TSB's money manager video (UK).
Educational ('how to') video

I have a lot of spares that I purchased during the build (unit bearing, suspension joints, brake lines, hardware, etc ).

The Jeep is super clean. Everything was stripped, wheeled, and painted when I had it torn down for the build.
It will run 90MPH down the highway with no issues.
It has not seen rain or salt since the build was finished. As you will see from the pics it looks new.
I have only driven it on the street with the exception of 1 trip to Silver Lake sand dunes in MI. It has never been in the rocks or mud (a fact that makes me sick to my stomach).
The only flaw that I know of is it has the typical side mirror cowl ding on the passenger side. (pic below)
The Jeep had a clear coat issue when new and was recalled and re-painted by Chrysler. Paint is in excellent condition.

text: ADD summary: Volkswagen showed a concept of the Golf Cabriolet GTI a year ago at Geneva and now presents the production version. With virtually identical specs and trim as the current Golf 6 GTI, the top down version should be a lot of fun to drive. We're still missing the roll hoop of the old cabrio as that seemed to add some balance to the stubby look of the Golf Cabriolet. So far no plans to offer this model here in the States, but we'll keep you posted.

Jim Wagner has seen a lot in his 48 years in the ready-mix concrete industry. He has no shortage of stories about what it was like working closely with dispatchers through the years.
For instance, shortly after he founded Advanced Control Systems in 1973, he went to Montreal to install his company's first color graphics monitor in a producer's dispatch office. "I got it all done and found out the dispatcher was colorblind," Wagner says. "Having colored text on a black screen meant nothing to this guy. It did to his manager, but not to him. We had to backlight everything instead of using colors."
Going back even further to his first day on the job at Ready Mixed Concrete Co. in Minneapolis in 1964, Wagner didn't know what position he was hired for. He was hauling cement around the yard the first day. "The general manager told me the next day that they hired me for dispatcher," he says.
The dispatcher's tools back then consisted of a scratch pad, a No. 2 pencil, and a cup of coffee. Wagner took orders on a large dispatch sheet and he had to remember the trucks' locations. Some dispatchers used golf tees to represent trucks that were out on deliveries.
"Basically, you just handed the ticket to the driver, said, 'don't dawdle,' and then you had no idea where he was," he says. "Like most companies at the time, we debated whether radios could be justified. They were pretty expensive."
Almost half a century and thousands of No. 2 pencils later, a dispatch office now features GPS, mobile devices, and tablet computers. But the one constant is still Jim Wagner, 68, now a vice president at Command Alkon, the Birmingham, Ala., supplier of dispatch equipment and automation. He travels the country, giving advice to producers about dispatching. He also still teaches dispatching classes for NRMCA, something he's being doing since 1968.
For his dedication to the ready-mixed concrete industry and for teaching producers how to become more efficient in their deliveries, TCP names Jim Wagner a 2012 Industry Influencer.
Inventing and creating
In 1985, Wagner's Advanced Control Systems merged with Command Data, which would become today's Command Alkon. Wagner doesn't miss managing his own business because he couldn't devote as much time to "inventing, creating, and improving things."
As he continued teaching classes for NRMCA and PCA, people started asking Wagner for the documentation he had developed. This prompted him to write a book in 2001, The Handbook of Ready-Mixed Concrete Dispatching, which is still considered the authority in the field.
It's hard for Wagner to predict what the future might hold. "I would never have dreamed of GPS, the Internet, or hand-held computers showing me where my trucks are," he says.
In the future, Wagner sees more strides in order-taking. A large producer's call center computer will note the area code of an incoming call and automatically send the order to the appropriate plant. "The customer will be able to key in his order number on his cellphone and see where the trucks are, when the next one is due, and what he ordered," he says.
A dispatcher will run his office like a airline pilot uses automatic pilot, Wagner explains. "Instead of hands on the controls, they are going to feed information. The dispatcher is going to have to keep the computer informed of what is going on so intelligent decisions can be made."
Jim accepts his award at World of Concrete at 2013:

Henley Has Lengthy History Of Traffic Violations
Man Accused In Hit-And-Run Crash Had Revoked License
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The 38-year-old accused in a deadly hit-and-run crash on Thursday night has lengthy history of traffic violations.
The accident happened May 3rd at the intersection of Airport Road and South Circle Drive.
David Henley turned himself in on Tuesday. Police said a tip led them to him.
The victim, Ricardo "Ricky" Figueroa, was running home when he tripped in the road near the A Tire & Wheels shop. Witnesses said he was struck violently by the truck, which kept going without stopping.
According to court documents, it isn't the first time Henley has been in trouble.
In 1993 and 2003, documents show he was arrested and later convicted for stealing vehicles.
In 2005, more records show Henley was convicted of vehicular eluding.
Before this crash, his license had been revoked. Henley is expected to be sentenced on Thursday for the violation last December.
Police also impounded a custom truck matching the primered gray vehicle described by witnesses.
Figueroa was an eighth-grader preparing to graduate from Galileo School of Math and Science. He was looking forward to starting at Wasson High School in the fall.
Figueroa's funeral was held Wednesday.

Re: Anchoring with changing tides and wind
Now that I am looking at this thread again, Were you in PT today? Did not think you would be there, so did not look when I was up that way.
Maybe next week.........
Hopefully the line leading aft will help some! Also some anchor rollers have a pin you can lock the rope/chain in between the roller and the pin per say. I'm typing "locked" meaning it will not "jump out of the track" locked. The road/chain pkg will still free fall or pull up with ease. If you are not able to do this, you might look into putting a small pin/bolt or equal to secure the set up this way.
Re: Anchoring with changing tides and wind
I headed to port townsend as we speak. The wind is really light and I've been watching smith island for what seems like forever
I did that technique for the first time last night in Friday harbor. I let the anchor out to just touch and had the motor in neutral. I let loose some line into my hand and keeping tension so the chain didn't pile up I walked back to the cockpit and reversed while I let the line through my hand and it did stay over the bow roller. This is my new method. Loved it. Got a really good set.
Re: Anchoring with changing tides and wind
Do you have the ability to let the line out from the cockpit, as you control the motor? Might be abetter option that trying to run forward, then aft, forward, and aft again hoping you can keep control.
I'll be in PT tomorrow, not that I can look for you any more!
Re: Anchoring with changing tides and wind
Thanks for all the great info folks! This is new for me too, and feeling a lot better now that I've read your thoughts.
Re: Anchoring with changing tides and wind
Anchoring is like ....... everybody has a least one. Here are a few of my ideas on Ground Tackle & How to Use it.
Re: Anchoring with changing tides and wind
Yeah anchoring is a bit difficult. I am swinging in circles like I thought I would but I've got a 22 pound Bruce, 20-25 feet of chain a good shackle and nice new rope. 180 feet. So with the chain 200 feet total. It's really holding well so far.
The hardest part is getting my boat to point the way I want it to. When i get ready to set. Say I want to face north. Well by the time I am at tr bow I very like could have swung any direction. Is there anything I can do to keep control over the direction I set?
So I have the engine going. Face north. Chain is laid out already on deck. If there is win to blow me back I let it out slowly until the desired scope is out. Then I motor back on it. But if there isn't wind an there often isn't, or if the current wants me to face a different direction. Then I have more trouble and sometimes let out the anchor just till I can feel it touch. The. I run back and lash the tiller and put it in slow reverse. Then back to the bow and let it out. But it wanders. My boats loves no do its own thing.

Re: Anchoring with changing tides and wind
My most notable whoda thunkit happened in False Creek ,Vancouver .Mud bottom ,lots of scope half inch chain and 80 lb fisherman hook, days of wind change 180 degrees laid the scope back and forth over the anchor and tide dropped a loop over the cross bar and picked it all up on the rising tide. Coast guard found me by the Granville bridge alerted by a friendly passing tug and barge.We all had a good laugh when we got the tight ball of 300 lbs plus mud to the bow roller. I don't know what the moral of this is but Murphy lives.

Anyway, if you can find a May? might have been april issue of Pacific Yachting, pulled it out of the mailbox the other day.....there was an interesting viewpoint on types of rode. It started with something to the effect, boater do not talk about Religion, income and anchors! Since Rode was not mentioned, the author would talk about types and styles.
It was pointed out, that if in shallower waters, ie under about 50', a boat length or two of chain with a rope rode might very well be the better option than all chain! Over 50', all chain could be better/make more sense. None the less, it had many things to toy with when it comes to choosing what type of ground tackle to use etc. The big thing seems to be, can you keep the angle from the ground to rode, be it chain or rope, as low as possible. So if using a 4-1 all chain in 20' of water was the example, when the wind piped up to 35 knots, the all chain vs a chain/rope setup with 7-1 would start to drag, as this angle tween the chain the ground would be too great for the anchor. Where as the 7-1 setup would not drag. In deeper waters, the chain would create enough drag holding the bow down etc, that it would not potentially drag with 4-1 vs the 7-1 chain/rope setup.
As pointed out also, an all chain rode could be too heavy for some setups. Also go with G7 vs G4 or g3 where possible, as you could go a size smaller, be lighter etc too. One couldlose over 300-400 lbs going with a chain/rope rode vs an all chain. ALong with hoisting the anchor setup in many cases, vs "HAVING" to use a windlass.
Not saying which is right or wrong, both options work, both have plus and minus's about them. Not sure an all chain on the OPs Ranger 23 would be a smart option. But a chain in the 20-30' range, reasonably big anchor and some 3 strand in the 200-300' range, would work well around the salish sea quite well.

That is the question. I say 100 and shut him down.
He is the top prospect in the minors right now. We have to strengthen his arm, and he needs innings as he is not a reliever anymore. But we cannot take a chance with his arm.

Some have speculated 120. Don't know though on this one.
I don't want him babied too much, but I see what you're saying. I'd probably agree with 120. But he was a college pitcher who always played the college season and then played a full season of summer ball. I'm not sure how many innings he's thrown in the past, but he's a grown man that can handle 120-130 innings this year IMO.
I can't recall the exact rule of thumb but I think it's 30-40 innings more than the previous year which if true would put him somewhere in the 110-120 range. If they move some guys around later in the season maybe they can use him in the pen somewhere to maximize his usage. Maybe another 2-3 starts no more than 6 IP and then make him a closer for the rest of the year one IP at a time.

"You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one."
--Woody Hayes
Yea Doug I've searched to find out the innings also and have failed every attempt.
Actually I remember now that I did find this.
91 innings in 07.
But again, don't forget that in addition to the amount of innings that Stewart threw while in junior college, he also played summer baseball while in school. All college players also play summer ball since the college season ends so early. So, if he threw 91 innings in '07, I bet you can tack on about 30 more to that at least due to summer ball.
Honestly Id just keep him around 75-80 pitches and throw him until he hits 120 innings.
agreed w/ others here, aim for about 120-130 innings, the rest all in AA (of course w/ the lineup they could keep around for the 2nd half, what do you do when the playoffs start?)
Then next season, assuming he keeps progressing like he has, or basically doesn't fall off the table, I'd aim for about 150-160 in AAA next year, then the following season he should be prepared for 180-200 innings in the majors assuming he can lock down a spot.
I'd stretch him to 150 innings, assuming his pitch counts don't hit more than 90-95 pitches per game.
"You can learn little from victory. You can learn everything from defeat."
-- Christy Matthewson
"Show me a good loser and I'll show you an idiot."
-- Leo Durocher
I would pitch him in relief in an extra inning game on two or three days rest.
- Dusty Baker
I think it should be more about how many pitches he throws. Keep him at 75 to 90 per start and let him pitch until the season is over. If that is 120 or 145... so be it. Just keep him on that pitch count.
From Baseball Prospectus:
Verducci Effect
Named for Tom Verducci of Sports Illustrated, this is a negative forward indicator for pitcher workload. Verducci, who called this the 'Year After Effect,' found that pitchers under the age of 25 who have 30-inning increases year over year tend to underperform. Will Carroll independently found that pitchers who break the "Rule of 30" tend to get injured. Carroll renamed this 'rule' the Verducci Effect in honor of the man who initially found the evidence.

Best lip balm I've ever used
I am a lip balm junkie and I used to constantly try every brand of lip balm out there. The Badger Co. Cocoa Butter lip balms are definitely the best I've tried. They're creamy and very moisturizing - the formula doesn't just sit on top of my lip like other waxy ones do. The Creamy Cocoa formula is better than the Mint and the Mocha ones (although those are good too) - just creamier than the second two.

One of the best lip balms on iHerb.

Definitely one of my favorites. What makes this organic cocoa butter lip balm stand out from a myriad of similar products is its ingredients. Unlike many other lip balms, it has has castor oil as one of its main ingredients and doesn't contain as a preservative vitamin E, which is present in the overwhelming majority of lip balms and oftentimes genetically modified. Instead of it, this lip balm uses certified organic rosemary CO2 extract, one of the best natural preservatives. Rosemary is famous for its potent healing, rejuvenating, cell growth stimulating, anti-inflammatory, disinfectant, antibiotic, and pain alleviating properties, helping heal and protect dry, chapped, and sore lips. Another great thing about Badger Company and their lip balms is that they use CO2 extraction, the most effective and natural way to extract beneficial essences from plants. Carbon dioxide is a natural product and leaves behind no residues, unlike other chemical solvents often used for this purpose. Castor oil, one of this lip balm's main ingredients, does wonders for dry and chapped lips. It's known for its amazing anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-allergic, antioxidant, detoxifying, moisturizing, nourishing, soothing, and healing properties, making your lips hydrated, soft, smooth, and healthy. Its other ingredients are noteworthy, as well. Olive oil is known for its antioxidant properties and for deeply moisturizing, nourishing, regenerating, and softening the delicate skin of the lips, beeswax forms a protective barrier on their surface while still allowing the skin to breathe, aloe vera, rose hip, and seabuckthorn CO2 extracts are powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents soothing and healing dry, chapped, and sore lips, stimulating cell renewal and collagen production, and preventing premature aging. This organic cocoa butter lip balm is great for people with sensitive lips susceptible to allergies and inflammation. Since I started using it, I've noticed a significant improvement in the condition of my lips: they're less dry and sore, more hydrated, and healthier overall. I'm also impressed that this lip balm lasts long and feels great on the lips, which is hard to find. Will definitely order it again.

This lip balm moistens my lips and the cocoa flavor is yummy. It goes on smoothly, but is not mushy. No burning or tingling. Just soothing. It's a larger size stick and twists up near the top. I will get this again.
Liked it
Posted by Reviewer2010946 on Jan 05, 2010 | Verified Purchase
Nice aroma of cocoa butter, and stays on the lip nicely. It is a wide stick, much bigger than a Chap Stick, but then it also contains 7 grams instead of 4 grams or so. Cocoa butter based lip balms have always worked well for me and I was glad to find this one available. I liked it enough to buy a second one to keep in the car.
strange scent
Posted by vibirca on Jan 26, 2015 | Verified Purchase
I can definitely smell the castor oil, and it's kind of disgusting for me... though it moisturise and nourishes chapped lips very good. Also it slides a little cakey on your lips..
pretty good

I like the large size stick and it moisturizes well. Smells more like coco butter than cocoa and doesn't have a taste. Smooth and not greasy.
Creamy Cocoa Lip Balm

I'm happy with this lip balm. It is so creamy and smells delicious. It is not very greasy and leaves my lips so soft. Perfect for everyday and especially windy days and winter time. I will reorder it, but the next one i'll try is the one with tea tree and lemon balm.

Perfect for dry lips
Posted by Reviewer3110243 on May 27, 2010 | Verified Purchase
This is almost as good as Dr Hauschka lip balm, at a third of the cost. While Badger doesn't seem to stay on quite as long, I love the cocoa smell and that it's organic and fair trade.

The most troubling thing about the royal decrees he made was the thing about physicians being able to launch their own inquisitions. So he pretty much deputized all Doctors to tell you whether or not you should be allowed to have a gun and gave them an open door to report you based off their own determination.
In a coutry where over 100,000 people died last year of Medical Malpractice, this disturbs me.
So don't trust Law-Abiding gun owners.... They are the true root of evil... Trust the Doctors... They only kill about 8x more people a year. Makes perfect sense.

Martin Keown believes Arsène Wenger has got it right this summer with the signings of Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud.
The duo will link up with their new team-mates this week after the conclusion of the Club's pre-season tour of Asia.
Keown played 449 times for Arsenal in two spells between 1981 and 2004 and insists the experience of Podolski in particular will prove invaluable as the Gunners look to build on last season's third-place finish.
"Podolski has come in with an incredible amount of experience," Keown told Arsenal.com at the launch of The Arsenal Brent Cross. "He had a quiet Euros playing in a wide position, so it will be interesting to see where the manager will play him.
"But he is an outstanding player and that is the level of experience we need.
"We have seen Giroud in flashes and it looks like he has got great qualities too. If Wenger is taking him you can be sure he is going to be a top player. So there are lots of plusses."
Arsenal were boosted by Laurent Koscielny's contract extension in July and Keown, a former stalwart of the Gunners' defence, has welcomed the news.
"I think Koscielny is an outstanding player," he said. "He is very nimble on his feet and defensively in a one v one I think he is the best we have.
"Thomas Vermaelen is very powerful and attacks the ball brilliantly alongside him, so I think those two together look like a formidable pair. So it is good news that Koscielny has signed a new contract."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Arsène Wenger expects Ju Young Park to win over the Arsenal fans before long.
The South Korea captain has been in prolific form at international level but has only featured once for his new club – in the Carling Cup victory over Shrewsbury Town last month. Park went close to a debut goal that night and will get another chance to shine when Bolton visit north London for Tuesday's Fourth-Round tie.
The 26-year-old summer signing from Monaco arrived with a smaller reputation than some of Arsenal's new recruits but Wenger believes he will make his presence felt soon.
"Some players like Pires and Henry took four, five, six months and they became exceptional players," he told Arsenal Player. "Park arrived two months ago so that's normal.
"Some people judged our players very quickly in a negative way and slowly they changed their mind through their performances. I prefer it that way round than the other. Some players make you jump off your seat in the early stages and then disappoint you after. These players will win over all the sceptical people and Park is one of them.
"I have been impressed by his intelligence and his attitude. He is well-appreciated and rated by his team-mates and by the staff as well - we think he is a quality player.
"It is hard in the Premier League but Park is a player with quality and intelligence. On the longer term that will always come out and I am confident he will do that in the Premier League as well.
"What you need when you want to be successful at a club is three strikers, three central strikers. We have them and we are very happy with that."
The full interview with the boss is now available on Arsenal Player.

Bricolage, his first LP under his own name, was released in mid-1997. Beginning with 1998's Permutation, Tobin full-lengths followed every other year, including Supermodified in 2000 and Out from Out Where in 2002. A live performance was recorded for the Solid Steel series and released in 2004, and Tobin reached his highest profile when he recorded the soundtrack to a Tom Clancy video game, Splinter Cell 3. The studio album Foley Room, from 2007, relied on field recordings from Tobin and others, and featured performances by the Kronos Quartet. In 2009, he and drum'n'bass producer Doubleclick debuted an electro-rap project, Two Fingers, which released a self-titled album that year. The year 2011 proved hectic, including an original studio album (ISAM, which was entirely sample-free) as well as another album by Two Fingers and an album of Splinter Cell remixes. ~ Sean Cooper

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Loki is a year old now and I'm happy to say that he has pretty much grown out of it! I think it was at 6 and 7 months that he dramatically improved to where this would happen maybe a few times a month. Now that he is a year old, he is great! I think being mouthy and jumping at people is sort of how he naturally responds to overstimulation. So if he does have a situation where he gets really overstimulated, he sometimes will have a version of those little spaz attacks. He might jump up on me and bite at my sleeve but he bites softly and calms down easily.
These episodes for Loki were/are definitely always related to being overtired, over heated or overstimulated. So it helped to start being really aware of those things so I could stop the crazy attacks before they started
Trust me, it does get better! I think 12-16 weeks was the worst and things only got better from there.
I found this book extremely helpful, I should've read it sooner! Has a lot of great info and things to help develop self control and calmness in my crazy pup! I highly recommend it! http://www.amazon.com/Fired-Up-Frantic-Freaked-Out/dp/0985934921
|Update?? Just curious if they truly grow out of this stage or if it is a myth! I am in the land shark phase (12 weeks old now)! Some days are good. Some days are terrible. He is just lucky he is adorable with his giant ears.
I think playing tug helps this type of pup get out that need for oral exercise. You control the game, always, let the pup win often. Mix up tug with obedience commands and use it as the reward.
I know when pups are teething tug is put on hold or played more gently, so it may not be helpful when they are in that full blown teething stage. If the pup or young dog learns to carry a toy/ball it helps as well if you can't tug during the painful teething times.
Like Lucia posted, pups should learn to have quiet crate times and owners should be proactive to help them before they get overtired.
Crating/processing time after a training session is also very important(as important as the training!)
|My dog was a land shark. I'm not trying to hijack the thread. My 10 month old will still mouth me occasionally, especially when running around and playing in the yard. He will go for my arm when he approaches me at full speed...He is only playing, but should I put a halt to this?
|Thanks for this thread everyone! Sarge - "Sergeant Major Bratt" - now almost 4 months old has started demonstrating the rapid run and tear around trying to bite. I had never seen this type of behavior and was getting concerned. Now I know that he will require more naps and rest time to discourage this type of behavior. He is active and loves to run the yard and play fetch. Now we will try and adjust the amount of time downwards and allow more for quiet time.
|Benny Boo's Mommy
Hey Lokimonster, I just found this thread of yours with the exact same behavior as my dog Ben! I can say he's one and a half and the "gatoring" as someone called it here, only happens once in a while...like maybe once a month these days. He does seem to have to be "snapped out of it" like you say, with redirecting/commands.
We don't know if it would have happened more if he were younger bc he was already around 9mos old when we got him and he was pretty sick...two or three months or so of rehabilitating before he was a "normal" healthy dog.
I wonder if it's stress or something. He does nap a lot (sleeps on the floor all day), but it does happen at night. Let me know what has been working for you. We are trying the treat/command thing since Ben is food motivated.
|Chevelle only does this when I come home from work and she is in freak out mode that I am back... it's 90 seconds of crazed jumping and biting that I would give my left arm to make stop.. (and sometimes do!) and she just turned 8 months old..... still dealing with it..
Thanks guys! I feel a lot better now! I'll make sure to focus on more scheduled nap times, and being patient lol... he has been crateless for the past couple weeks since he grew out of his old one. Just got a new one a few days ago that will make things a lot easier.
I sure am enjoying raising this crazy little pup, so different than other breeds I've had experience with!
|I had to schedule nap times for Delgado, I called him my energizer bunny with the fast recharge Patience and consistency and eventually it fades away and you'll realize you've gone a full week without a problem
I too have a dog with a Loki spirit... but I did not name him Loki. ;-) I think this is common for high drive protection breeds as well as others but especially the protection breeds it comes with biting. Tygo does it infrequently now that he is a year old, but it still can happpen, usually in the evening. He wants attention. Teach him a tug game and go for it for 5-10 minutes. That usually works for me. I incorporate a little obediance now in the tug to teach him to work in that high energy place. Start slow (in terms of adding obedience), be consistent and use time-outs.
This too shall pass. I'll let you know when. LOL

SKILLMAN, N.J. -- Five Vols were named ITA Scholar Athletes, the college tennis governing body announced this week.
Seniors Jarryd Chaplin and Colton Norton, juniors Hunter Reese and Brandon Fickey and freshman Sunay Bhat worked their way to the national list by posting grade point averages above 3.50 for the school year.
Norton wrapped up his degree in biochemistry and cellular and molecular biology in May, along the way earning ITA Scholar Athlete honors all four years of his career. Chaplin, a logistics major, finished as the three-time ITA Scholar Athlete.
Reese put together another outstanding year on the courts and in the classroom. In addition to winning the NCAA doubles title and being named the ITA Doubles Team of the Year with Mikelis Libietis, Reese also earned his third ITA Scholar Athlete honor.
Several Vols are hitting the competition courts in the coming days. Reese is scheduled to play qualifying this weekend at the ITF Futures event in Tulsa, Okla., and Bhat is competing at the ITA Summer Circuit event on MTSU's campus beginning Saturday. Chaplin will start on the pro circuit trail this weekend at the $50,000 Challenger in Granby, Canada.
On the pro circuit, 2011 SEC Athlete of the Year John-Patrick Smith has been gaining ground in the rankings the last few months.
Smith is now a career-best No. 177 in the ATP singles rankings and is still in the top 100 in doubles at No. 83. He has reached his first career tour-level doubles semifinal this week with former Texas A&M standout Austin Krajicek.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by coynejeremy, Jul 2, 2009.
I would miss Kwame. I liked him. He worked hard and seemed to be a good character guy.
Cliff Robinson bumbled passes out of bounds with the best of them. That's when he actually got his hands on them, and didn't just watch as they sailed past his face.
I wouldn't want Chandler. The guy is injury-prone. He'll probably play the first 20 games but after that he'll be out for the rest of the season or he'll be fine until the post-season and be injured!! I want Kwame and JMax.
I'm not going to say that injuries are of no concern. However, in the 4 season prior to last year, Chandler missed an average of 4.5 games per year (As I've brought up previously). Not to mention, we've got Arnie. Remember, Dice's career was over until he met Arnie. It's worth the relatively small risk (2 year contract), for the upside of having a youngish, long, athletic center that can play some good help D and rebound. Especially if we're getting off the hook on Max's contract in the process.
True dat my friend. When you actually pull Chandlers stats aside from last year and his second year (when his body was still very young) he hasn't missed that many games.
Mike Abdenour & Arnie Kandor = MVP
I'm not very high on this trade. Maxiell and Kwame are solid, if unspectacular. Chandler has some physical problems and you make this trade still needing another center (even if only a backup). Which you will need with Chandler. I favor looking into Dalembert (age 28). He is not happy in Philly. He is solid center and will stick around the paint which means that the center is covered for the pistons. Contract is workable with both Tay (trade for PG) and Rip (a Philly product) that will fit into the Philly offense or defense, as the case may be. Philly is going nowhere with the long-term contracts of Brand and Iguodala.
Allright, would you do this one: Rip+Maxiel for Brand? It's obvious that Philly has buyers remorse on this one. Now $$$ wise Brands contract won't strap us anymore than Rip&Max's are going to do over the next 3 years, we could throw in Walter Sharpe to free up some more cap room, this trade would put us under the cap by $6M, enough to sign McDyess again, upfront we'd have: Kwame / Brand / Dyess / CharlieV. Not Bad folks, not bad.
Why not Oberto and Max ??
They'd be a little thin on the wings, but this really is pretty good presuming you could play CV at the 3 along with Brand and Kwame.
Because we waived Oberto's contract and even if we didn't that trade would need to satisfy the 125% rule and it doesn't.
Let us stay with apples-on-apples. We need a center and a sufficient backup to make the playoffs and beyond the first round. Hence, the reason for Dalembert. This is a very clean transaction and unfortunately, there are no centers that will get anyone excited. I am being a pragmatist on this one. Brand is not a clean transaction, but I really like what he brings around the post area. A mere 6-9 that has a 7-3 wingspan and pure athlete. He is 30 years old and if his luck changes, will be a better Sheed at age 34...so go figure (who had a dead zone the last 3 years). He also would solidify a young group surrounding him and does not bring the mental baggage that Rip brings. Let us not forget, this team (including CV and BG) still is searching for a leader. I have no doubt, Brand will be wearing a sticker reading: Team Leader. In short, if I was JD, I would go for it.
Do We Really? Everybody says that, but let's take a look at the "Centers" on the teams that got to the 2nd rd of the Playoffs (In the East): Bos: Perkins / ???? Clev: BigZ, Now-Shaq Atl: Horford/Pachulia Orl: Superman/Gortat Hmmm, maybe you're right, but I'm confident in Dyess' and Kwame's ability to contain and control all of them save Superman and a motivated-healthy Shaq. Exactly!!! So why just, Get 1-To-Get 1??? Ok, that wrap up confused me......U-N-or-Out?
In short, if I was JD, I would go for it.
Ya know, this Elton Brand thing really has me thinking. I think we should really try and get the guy. We could use our remaining $4M to sign Dyess. Next we can do a 3 team deal (Det / Philly / NewOrl) that's a win-win-win for all 3 teams. Detroit gets Tyson Chandler and Elton Brand. Philly gets Tayshaun Prince (or Rip, but preferrably Tayshaun) and Jason Maxiel. New Orleans gets Kwame Brown. This deal actually works by the numbers and can be done. We solve our frontcourt issues in a major way. Philly gets to undo the Brand debacle. NewOrl's shaves $8.5M off their payroll, word is that they are willing to trade Chandler for Ben Wallace's $14M expiring deal but are exploring other options 1st, Kwame-at this point in time- is alot better than Ben. C'mon Joe get Branew Rasta: PG: Stuckey / Bynum SG: Gordon / AA SF: Tay-or-Rip / Rooks PF: Brand / CharlieV C: Chandler / Dyess
Why wouldn't Philly's debacle turn into Detroit's debacle?
You don't know, you never know, it's not an exact science, but I'd take a chance on it. Very funny Roscoe, you can't even compare those 2 high maintenance so-n-so's to Elton, Elton is actually humble, unlike those 2.
I'm just sayin', we're 50/50 gambling on Philly. And if you believe in sequences, we're due for our next Philly break.
Yep... Brand just doesn't fit. Phily learned how to play a certain way and started to excel playing that way. Bringing in Brand put a bit of a monkey wrench into that... They never really used him the right way.

Different sight or lighter arrows?
First time poster, but long time archer.
My wife and I recently purchased two compound bows and equipment. Been shooting these about 4 months.
Years ago we used to shoot stick bows, but decided to upgrade and join the rest of the world.
I have a Matthews Ovation 60lb (set at 58), My wife has a Hoyt RazorTech 30lb (set at 28).
We both have Extreme Sniper sights, Bodoodle rests, and use Cobra ProCaliper releases.
I shoot XX75 2216's (feathers) and my wife, Jazz 1816's (feathers).
We have set up a range out to 50 yards, but want to shoot out to 70.
The question: The sight I have now doesn't have the room to allow pins for 60 to 70 yards because of the arrow drop. My wife's can only get to 40 yards. Should we go with lighter arrows or purchase new target-type sights which we'll have to move at different ranges? Our local dealer is only concerned with hunters, and is not very helpful with target shooters.
We plan to set up our own walking field/3D course on our property.
Thanks in advance.

I would switch to the carbon arrows. They will last twice as long and will shoot flatter. If only shooting 3d then I would recommend the Carbon Express CXL's Selects. You can find them on the internet for $106/doz I have tried the Easton Fatboys... they shoot a great group but drop off very quickly.
For hunting I like a little bit heavier arrow and use the Bemon ICS Hunters.
regarding sight or arrows
I use a ovation w/70lb. limbs,and have a sureloc lite supreme,w/a extreme 3d scope housing on it.
I can shoot 100 yards then my housing gets too close to the arrow.With hunting sights You can only get so much out of them usually around 70 yards.Does depend on the arrow.
The only way to get your ovation theoretically to shoot 80 yards for a feild course is to go with a different sight.
I shoot acc's w/100 gr pushins,with duravanes,they weigh 377 grains total.
It's my preference to shoot a thinner diameter shaft with some weight on them for longer distances,they poke decent even in the wind.
You could go with a lighter shaft,but the spine is sometimes just to stiff for the arrows,especially to fly right at 58 lbs.Archers Advantage says what arrows have the proper spine,what arrows are you shooting now?
I was thinking about going with CBE sights,They seem pretty durable.

If you had the money, you could go with both changes. Carbon Express 3-D Select 200 or 300 for you. Carbon Express CX 100 for your wife. ( I'm not sure if the 3-D Select comes in 100 or not. If they do, go with those) As for a sight, HTM has a long range sight that gives you and extra inch of vertical drive which will help you to get your distances in. They are very durable and they give great service as well. They are made in New Albany, PA. Here is their web address: www.htmbowsights.com.
Also, move your sights in closer to your riser if you can and that will give you more room for longer distances as well.
Good Luck and hope this helps. I only shot 25lbs. when I first started and these are things that helped me with longer distances.
