I'm a 27 year old black South African and have just finished a hectic 3-month long TEFL course. I've been noticing the adverts looking for "native speakers", which I feel I cannot apply for because, although I come from SA and have 1st language English speaker proficiency, I am black and brown-eyed.
I must admit, before registering for the TEFL course I didn't do my research as well as I should have. I assumed that the TEFL/ESL employment environment would work just like any other corporate recruitment environment!
I was wrong!
I have a Diploma in Marketing, a 3-year qualification, which I completed with the University of Johannesburg. A Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Commerce degree with the same institution also takes 3 year to complete.
The difference is that Diplomas are less theory based and actually require that you get about 3 months work experience before your graduate.
I am currently studying for a BA Communication Science degree part-time.
I have been working in the financial services/investments industry doing PR/Marketing/Corporate Affairs since I was 20 years old, with some of the most reputable institutions in SA. When I was 19 I tutored first year students
for 6 months in Business Communication English.
I thought my track record would count for something but it counts for nothing!! Again I blame my lack of research.
When I started appyling for TEFL jobs I got the shock of my life when I realised that my diploma, current studies, work experience and the TELF certificate mean nothing. I was even more shocked to realise that most jobs don't even require any form of TEFL training - you qualify just for being a "native speaker" (and in most cases, white) and for having a piece of paper that says "degree"... in any discipline.
I decided to go the TEFL route because I need a break from the corporate world and also because I want to do a bit of travelling. The fact that I'll be taking a huge pay-cut (earn about a third of what I currently earn in the corporate world) doesn't bother me. My student loans are long paid off!
All I want is to experience new things/cultures, be challenged and see the world. TEFL is the obvious means of doing this because I actually enjoyed the 6 months of tutoring that I did many years ago.
I'm a bit disappointed but I'm sure I'll find something.
Any advice on how to go about finding a job?

Numbered Countour Lines
I would like to use ContourPlot do make a contour

Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Arsène Wenger says Jack Wilshere has the attributes to play anywhere across the midfield.
England manager Fabio Capello has described Wilshere as "the future" and declared his intention to give him the 'holding role' for England after watching the 19-year-old hold down a midfield place for his club this season.
Wilshere is expected to win his second cap in a friendly against Denmark in February and Wenger sees no reason why the teenager shouldn't be given the job. However he insists his qualities don't stop there.
"Why not? He can play in any position in midfield," said Wenger at his pre-match media briefing on Friday. "In our midfield he plays everywhere.
"We have no deep-lying midfielders in our midfield, but he can play in any position because he is tactically intelligent.
"He can defend [and] he can attack, he's a midfielder. For me a midfielder is not exclusively one position. He is a guy who defends when the team does not have the ball and attacks when we have the ball.
"I never had a midfielder who does just one thing, because that is what I hate most in midfield."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Phoenix Suffers Heartbreaking Final Second loss in Double Overtime
By: Jill Wunrow (@JillWunrow)
CORVALLIS, Ore. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay (2-6-1, 0-1 HL) men's soccer team showed great resiliency, scoring two second half goals in 16 seconds to force its battle against Gonzaga (4-3-0) into double overtime in the Oregon State Tournament Sunday. Unfortunately the Phoenix suffered a heartbreaking 3-2 loss as Gonzaga scored in the final second to capture the double overtime victory at Lorenz Field in Corvallis, Ore.
With time winding down in the second overtime, Gonzaga's Nikolai Littleton had the ball near the right of midfield where he found Andrew Orenson on the left side on a cross kick. Orenson took the shot from 20 yards out with one second on the clock to beat the Phoenix in a tough fought battle.
After a scoreless first half, Gonzaga scored in the 61st minute off a free kick from the left side to take the 1-0 lead. The Bulldogs boosted their lead to 2-0 in the 77th minute off a header from the right side of the goal.
Late in the 81st minute, Green Bay senior Whitney Browne (Brooklyn Park, Minn.) found Sam Krenzien (Wauwatosa, Wis.) in the left side of the box. Krenzien beat his defender for his second goal of the season, cutting Gonzaga's lead in half.
Just 16 seconds later, junior Ahmad Bah (Brooklyn Park, Minn.) beat Gonzaga keeper Chris Lowrimore from inside the box on the right side for the equalizing goal.
Green Bay fired two shots in the final three-and-a-half minutes to try and seal the win while Gonzaga had three looks at the goal to end play in regulation.
In the first overtime period, (96:55), Green Bay goalie Ryan Wehking (St. Louis, Mo.) made an unbelievable diving save to his left on a shot from Gonzaga's Clark Phillips from 10 yards out. Gonzaga had one more shot attempt in the first overtime period but Green Bay's defense forced double overtime.
Both teams had two shots each in the second overtime period. Krenzien's shot in the 104th minute was blocked while Kirby Allen's (Appleton, Wis.) shot in the 109th minute was wide.
Krenzien led all players with five shots in the contest while Browne added four. For the second consecutive game, Wehking played tough in the net, grabbing six saves for the Phoenix.
Green Bay will return to the confines of Aldo Santaga Stadium for a Horizon League battle against Wright State (2-6-1, 0-0-1 HL) Saturday, Sept. 29 at 7 p.m. All alumni in attendance will also be recognized during halftime of the game.

Manchester program bringing Santa to solitary seniors
The Be A Santa For A Senior program, run by Home Instead Senior Care, looks to provide a bit of Christmas cheer to senior citizens who may be alone during Christmas.
"The idea behind this program is to remember and recognize the seniors in our community that so often are forgotten, lonely or financially challenged," said Pattie Hayes, the program's community relations director. "This program brings the magic and the warmth of the holidays to them."
It works fairly simply. A donor selects an ornament from a tree at several participating locations, including at the Home Instead office on Middle Street. The ornament has a name and a gift wish on it. The donor gets the gift and brings it back to be delivered to the senior.
Hayes said the statewide program, which began in 2008, is part of a national drive to make sure seniors are not forgotten among the numerous other programs to benefit disadvantaged children.
"Rightly so, the children are important," Hayes said. "At the same time, the other end of the spectrum tends to be forgotten."
Hayes said the program typically collects about 300 to 500 gifts each year, but she said she would "like to have the problem" of having to deliver more than 1,000 gifts.
"Three hundred to 500 gifts is just the tip of the iceberg of the need that is out there," she said.
The program has a deadline of Dec. 10 to provide a gift. More information about the program, including ways to give or become a sponsor, is available at beasantatoasenior.com.

Pregnant Nurse Fired After Refusing Flu Shot
(Jen Chung) A three months pregnant woman in Pennsylvania was fired from her job as a home nurse because she refused to get a flu shot. Dreonna Breton insists, "It would be a false statement to say the flu vaccine is known to be safe during pregnancy. I have lost my job, one that I love and am good at, because I chose to do what I believe is best for my baby."
Breton worked for Horizon Healthcare Services, which has required all of its employees to get flu shots for the past few years. However, Breton has had two prior miscarriages and didn't want to take any chances.
According to The Patriot News, "Breton says she became alarmed by notifications such as this, contained in the packaging of a popular flu vaccine: "'Fluzone should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.' Similar statements accompany other brands. So do notifications that it's unknown whether flu vaccine can harm an unborn child."
However, both the Centers for Disease Control and American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology recommend pregnant women get flu shots. The CDC says, "Flu shots are a safe way to protect pregnant women and their unborn children from serious illness and complications of flu, like pneumonia. The flu shot has been given to millions of pregnant women over many years. Flu shots have not been shown to cause harm to pregnant women or their babies. It is very important for pregnant women to get the flu shot."

Computer Science
What is computer science?
The following quote by Michael Fellows and Ian Parberry captures it best:
"Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes, biology about microscopes, or chemistry is about beakers and test tubes. Science is not about tools. It is about how we use them, and what we find out when we do."
In computer science we "look under the hood," so to speak, and try to understand how both hardware and software work. Computer science is the study of algorithms and sequences of well-defined instructions that are realized as code running on physical computers. Computer science is not just writing computer programs, it's about writing good computer programs and knowing why they are good. Computer science as a discipline is challenging because as you learn to solve problems you also are forced to sharpen your thinking skills. And while there is the frustration of trying to debug a program, there is also the satisfaction of finally getting it to run correctly. Like climbing a mountain, there is a lot of sweat and hard work in making the climb, but the view from the top is worth it!

text: As those of you that hunt big ruff water know our boats take a beating. I was doing some "waiting on season blues" preseason work on my boat and noticed that the bolts that hold my trolling motor to the bow of the boat were loose. AHH! This would be a great time to move the mount to exactly where I wanted it to begin with. When I took everything up I found the holes were wallowed out and of the six screws holding it down only 3 functioned enough to do so. Heres where I ran into trouble. The deck of my boat is .100 gauge aluminum and my mount is .100 gauge alumimum. I can't get under the bow to reinforce it unless I cut out a large hole (im a big ole boy too) and crawl in to do so. SO that's one solution down. Then I thought about anchor bolts like the type that go into a concrete wall and then flip open to create a large holding area. However the holes to get the end threw would be to big in comparison to the lip on my mount. I next thought about putting a thin sheet on aluminum between the mount and the bow deck but this wouldn't help at all either. Do any of you have a solution to this problem I am haveing other than removing the trolling motor altogether?

IMO, George was the funniest sitcom character ever created.
Jason Alexander could've (and should've) milked that character for 20 years like Fraser Crane did.

I believe Seinfeld is pretty timeless. The comedy hits just as well today as it did when it first aired. I mean most of the plots really do not have much to do with a current event (for the time) or whatever. Just typical things people have been going though and will continue going through only on Seinfeld it's exaggerated to the 10th degree.
Speaking of Seinfeld...... Curb Your Enthusiasm makes it's comeback this Sunday night. The episode is called "The Larry David Sandwich," you know you want to watch it.
Hmmm... watched quite a few of both recently... Not sure I can choose, but I definitely feel like Cheers lost something it was never quite able to replace when Coach died.
Obviously I've got to go with Seinfeld.
"I'll have the tuna."
"I know a lot about the law and various other lawyerings."
Hitters who avoid outs are the funnest.
Seinfeld.... period.
"You? You'll be out before we get the check!"
"In my day you had musicians who experimented with drugs. Now it's druggies experimenting with music" - Alfred G Clark (circa 1972)
I'm certainly more of a Seinfeld fan, it's my favorite TV show of all time, but in defense of Cheers they did have to go through major character changes that Seinfeld didn't. Jerry, Kramer, George and Elaine stayed together for the entire run. Cheers suffered when forced to change a couple of their original characters just like MASH did with the loss of Trapper, Frank Burns and Henry Blake.

I liked them both about the same, but I'm more likely to stop surfing for a Seinfeld episode now than I am Cheers. Having said that, the early Seinfelds were pretty weak; check them out some time and you will agree. The acting was stiff, the characters hadn't developed yet- it could be downright painful. Cheers was strong right out of the chute.
The writing on Cheers may have been a little better. There was a predictable pattern of behavior from all the actors; the inability to make the correct choice in any situation. It was kind of like Homer Simpson who always has the wrong thing to say. ("A 7 day waiting period to buy a gun?! But, I won't be MAD any more!).
I think Cheers was smoother. The actors were actors, whereas the people on Seinfeld were really comedians, so that everything they did was like a sketch, rather than a scene in a story. They did it well, but the quality of the interactions between the characters was better on Cheers.
Lastly, the thing I like most about Seinfeld are all the characters they created along the way, Bookman, Soup Nazi, the friends of Jerry's parents, his uncle. Those people and the comedians who played them were hilarious. I thought they were a real throwback to an earlier era, which is why I think the show may be more timeless than cheers.
Next Reds manager, second shooter. --Confirmed on Redszone.

[QUOTE=GAC;1264718] And as much as I loved the show, I couldn't stand Shelley Long. Would have loved to have seen an episode where Carla punches her in the mouth.
I'm with you and it wasn't just her character. I pretty much don't like her in anything.
Seinfeld in a landslide, and I really liked Cheers.
I am a fan of both shows and watched them religiously when they first aired....however i have to give the nod to Seinfeld....classic comedy..and no annoying love triangles....
Seinfeld is my all-time favorite. I liked Cheers too but I actually find it difficult to watch the reruns now. Not so with Seinfeld.
Jerry has said that their motto while making Seinfeld was "No hugging, no learning." I love that.
"I can make all the stadiums rock."

Montpellier grabbed their first three points of the Ligue 1 campaign with a comfortable 3-1 win over Sochaux on Saturday. Highly-rated midfielder Younes Belhanda scored early from the penalty spot before Emanuel Herrara hit a second 30 minutes from time. The hosts struck back five minutes later through Sloan Privat but Remy Cabella made sure of victory late on.
Schalke 3-1 Augsburg
Saturday, September 1
Schalke claimed their first victory of the season with a convincing 3-1 win over Augsburg at the Veltins-Arena on Saturday. The hosts took the lead through Kiriakos Papadopoulos midway through the first half before doubling their advantage via Jermaine Jones inside the first minute of the restart. Klaas-Jan Huntelaar added a third with 20 minutes remaining before Augsburg scored a late consolation.
Olympiacos 4-0 Levadiakos
Sunday, September 2
Olympiacos continued their 100 per cent start to the new season with a dominant 4-0 victory over Levadiakos on Sunday. The hosts scored twice in each half, taking the lead through Dimitrios Siovas before adding a second courtesy of Rafik Djebbour. Giannis Maniatis made it three just after the hour mark, while the influential Djebbour completed the scoring 15 minutes from time.

Several high resolution imaging techniques have been used over vastly diverse disciplines in science and engineering—from microscale with our light microscope to nanoscale with electron- or X-ray beam-mediated imaging techniques. These have been considered as routine laboratory techniques in order to visualize the micro- to nano-scale features of a certain material. How about seeing an actual bond?
AFM, or atomic force microscopy, have been recently been making news in the scientific community as it was used by two different groups to image actual bonds. This microscopic technique is based on a scanning probe, a cantilever with a tip. The tip is lowered closer to the surface of the sample until the forces between the tip to the surface are enough to cause a deflection in the cantilever, which is then correlated to a 'signal' that is processed to construct the image of the surface. It runs in either contact or non-contact mode, depending on the characteristics of the sample to be analyzed.
Just a month ago, researchers from China's National Center for Nanoscience and Technology have published AFM images showing the first image of hydrogen bonds. The image was for 8-hydroxyquinoline, deposited on a copper surface. This is definitely groundbreaking, as this is showing that these bonds with weaker interactions than covalent bonds can also be visualized using this technique. This proves that AFM can be used as a tool to characterize submolecular features.
Earlier this year, another group at the University of California Berkeley have also used AFM in order to monitor a reaction. The group used oligo-(phenylene-1,2-ethynylene), immobilized the molecule on a silver substrate, and monitored the products upon heating. As a routine, organic chemists typically monitor a reaction just by thin layer chromatography (TLC), looking at how the spots develop in the plates over time. Imagine if this technique becomes a routine tool for synthetic chemists, just like NMR or MS— without a doubt, it would definitely revolutionize the way we confirm products by seeing actual bond forming and breaking.
The field seems to be more and more exciting, and maybe we just have to wait for another groundbreaking AFM news before the year ends. Given how direct and informative the images are that we can take from this technique, hopefully, researchers will be able to find a way to make it as a routine synthetic characterization tool someday. This will not only help synthetic chemists, but also materials scientists and other researchers that delve on nanotechnology.

Operation Payback was an effort to back WikiLeaks. But was it effective? Anonymous isn't dedicated to knocking power grids offline, or crippling hardened military communications networks. Rather, it's online activism in the form of a PR campaign. Notably, the group launched DDoS attacks against the websites of MasterCard and Visa, highlighting their refusal to accept donations bound for WikiLeaks. But rather than disrupting those companies' payment networks, which would have hit their bottom lines, WikiLeaks' supporters merely knocked the companies' public-facing websites offline.

Physics Major/East Asian Studies Minor
Brownsboro, Ala.
"I don't necessarily use all my experiences here at Wittenberg to try to only advance my career. I just love the experiences, and take them for everything they're worth right now."
Wittenberg students are presented with a multitude of educational opportunities, no matter their chosen field of study. Mark Stahl made the most of those opportunities during his collegiate career, and the results of his work can be seen throughout campus.
Stahl, who graduated from Wittenberg in May with a bachelor's degree in physics, will begin graduate studies at the University of Alabama in Huntsville in August. During his undergraduate career, Stahl was a member of the East Asian Society, president of the Swing Dance Club and president of the Anime Film Club, in addition to his leadership efforts with the Society of Physics Students (SPS).
Stahl believes the most important thing to take away from Wittenberg is the learning experience, citing his extensive involvement in SPS as a perfect example. The work he did as a member, and as the organization's president from 2008-10, not only enriched his academic experience, but it enhanced the campus.
"Every year we do one research project," Stahl said. "Our research projects are done for a variety of reasons. This past year, the radio telescopes we built during my freshman year were used in a senior research project."
The telescope, which is positioned on the roof of Barbara Deer Kuss Science Center, is just one example of Stahl's handiwork with SPS. He also led the effort to build an ocylinderscope, which was used during a seminar presentation and for Wittenberg's annual Girl Scouts Science Night.
"It allows for the visualization of standing waves on strings," said Stahl, an Eagle Scout with six Eagle Palms to his credit. "The oscylinderscope makes for a wonderful demonstration in that it is both hands-on and visual."
Most recently, Stahl participated in work on a sonoluminescence device that demonstrates how the compression of an air bubble using sound expands and emits light.
One of his favorite accomplishments since arriving on campus is a 30×10-foot backdrop for the pendulum in the stairwell in the science center.
"I've been working on it since my freshman year," he said, adding that the backdrop is a representation of the galaxy. "I can't take all the credit for the backdrop and other SPS projects. I have had a lot of help along the way from faculty and other SPS members."
Further work in the physics department led Stahl to develop his senior research project on nano-second timing that develops a circuit to enable the measurement of the decay of atoms on a nano-second scale.
"Such a circuit could be used in advanced labs at other universities," Stahl added.
Senior research projects allow students to work on their own time with professors to enrich their educational experience.
"I don't necessarily use all my experiences here at Wittenberg to try to only advance my career," said Stahl, who aspires to be a lab coordinator who designs and constructs educational equipment. "I just love the experiences, and take them for everything they're worth right now."
He has also conducted physics research for the United States Armed Forces, and in 2009 he attended the Ohio Region section of the American Physical Society at Ohio Wesleyan University, where he presented the results of original research he conducted.
"I presented work on non-linear dynamics, or 'chaos'," Stahl said. "Our research is based around discovering new ways to engineer existing linear devices."
Stahl said he was "tremendously blessed with experiences and lab time."
"Not every student gets this opportunity," he concluded.

Our party was led past all of the other tables to the perfect table right in front of the huge window overlooking mountains and the lake. The table that surely required fame or a green bill of some sort. And then the maitre d' said, "You're the Kennedys, right ?"
Which is exactly what could be said about Sun's new claims in their latest announcement of new processors. Sun compares their SAP SD 2-tier benchmark which used 32 cores and 256 threads with the latest IBM POWER6 result using 8 cores and 16 threads. The Sun result needed 4 times the main memory of the IBM result. If you look at these two results per core, the IBM result was actually 3.17 times greater performance than the Sun result. (1)
I made sure to tell them that we were not the Kennedys. And they didn't move us to the table by the kitchen. I do wonder where the Kennedys sat that night.

Very cool design...details remind me of things I've seen in Dover art books while doing period research. But put together in new and intriguing patterns.
I got me some cephalopod love.
Oh nice strong black and white line work on this image.
I've seen enough hent...*gunshot* *thud*
I love that the 'suckers' look much like lace on the edges. Great design!
Nice shirt!
Looks to me like it's an advertisement for Aunt Spray's graphic design stuff.
Now this is a design where a person could really get wrapped up in the details, to say nothing of the tentacles.
FINALLY a shirt comes along with a design that's not the usual cartoon-ish type. I think we get one of these non-cartoonish shirts once every 2 months. A shame, really....
Is the design printed on both sides of the tote ?
Great design x 8 !
As soon as I saw this design, the Beatles' song popped into my brain. I headed over to Youtube and now I will be singing or humming it all day. Join me ?
Eightacles, I'm going to use that. Should we still say tentacles for squid, though?
Does anyone care that the correct spelling is CEPHALOPOID? I'm just asking, is all...
Made me think of the Order of the Brass Octopus (Parasol Protectorate)--RUN!
paralysis9 wrote:Does anyone care that the correct spelling is CEPHALOPOID? I'm just asking, is all...
No, especially when all of the dictionaries spell it "cephalopod".
I see no Star Wars reference in the design to suggest this is anything other than an octopus. Cephalopoid are alien, after all.
Huh. I thought Wooters would be Kraken more sea monster jokes.
The write-up got me curious about the entomology here, since it certainly has nothing to do with the number ten. It is from the Latin "tentare", to feel or touch.
It's kind of the same thing that leads people to ask why it's called a hamburger when it's made of beef, not ham. The word comes from the German city of Hamburg.
Cooooool design
You mean "etymology," there's no insects in this shirt.

Really like this one- Solid work!

So you can't get the tote anymore when it goes to the reckoning? That's a major bummer.
I wanted to get the tote. I think around Christmas time this should come back as a zip-up hoodie with the design on the back... Yeah that is a very good idea. HINT Wink HINT
I want a tote too. Was going to order one last night but there isn't a tote option. Grrr.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I live in TX so fleas and ticks are a problem here as well. I use Vectra which is a topical and it works really well. I've heard a few stories about bad reactions to oral treatments so I'm not willing to try them. I believe the oral preventatives only work on the brown dog tick so if other varieties of ticks are in your area, that's something to consider
|I use currently using trifexis and Seresto collar on my dog. (Just started using Seresto but I work in a vet hospital and many people I work with and clients have loved it for flea and tick control and it lasts 8 months. We use trifexis with the majority of our patients and have never had any problems. We do not give it to dogs with seizure history or patients that are heartworm positive. I also work in a very busy and large animal hospital so there are a lot of patients that we have on it. Sentinel does NOT kill fleas and that is why there would be problems using that. There is also a new oral flea and tick product called nexgard but I don't know much about that one yet. I'm personally thinking about using advantage multi for flea heartworm and intestinal parasites and Seresto for extra flea and tick prevention. Otherwise we also recommend advantix on a regular basis. I haven't seen a flea on my 10 month old dog since I got her using trifexis/advantix combo and now trifexis/Seresto collar. Ido not live in the south but we do have A LOT of fleas here.
|Harry and Lola
|I have read some dogs experience Trifexis poisoning using Comfortis. Comfortis and Trifexis are made by the same company. Trifexis is sinosad (Comfortis) with milbemycin oxime added as a heartworm prevention. Hundreds of dogs have had reactions to both, those who lived often end up with seizures or at the very least, are diabetic. Google 'does trifexis kill dogs'
|I'm interested to hear what people use as well, we are getting ready to move to St Pete. I use Sentinel but still managed to have issues with fleas twice last year in VA so I doubt that alone will cut it (actually it was Sentinel and Vectra). I hate topicals too and am trying bug off garlic and a flea/tic tag but I suspect I'll need something more when we move.
|I live in SC and I use Comfortis... I moved here from the North and was using k9 advantix and boy I had a HUGE problem with fleas when I moved down here and was using the k9 advantix.. then I switched to Comfortis and have had absolutely no problems! Of course I have to give 2 pills monthly for the heart worm and other preventives that it does but.. I don't mind as long as the fleas keep away. I know that 1800pet meds has Sentinel which does the worms as well as fleas but i'm not sure how good it would work for us living in the south. Has great ratings though and is much cheaper than Comfortis lol I pay $90x2 every 6 months for that. Sentinel is $99 for a year supply.
|Xyst Sin
WORKING flea treatment for South Florida dogs...
I have 4 dogs and live in South West Florida. The fleas here are SO BAD. The ticks are controllable but I'd like something that suggested that prevents/kills fleas, and prevents heartworms. I have 3 shepherds (40lb, 45lb, and 80lb), and a long hair chihuahua mix (15lbs). I have had the 15lb on comfortis before, no issues. I have also had the 40lb on Trifexis (I am aware of the issues, why I stopped using it) before with no issues. I have a VERY hard time using topical treatments here as if they work, it isn't for as long as intended and another dose needs to be bought. I would prefer something oral, but also something safe.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Now I need to find someone like Sheepstealer to teach dads !!!!!
I'm getting there, if we finally get some snow hoping to hit the hill this weekend. Been out 1/2 day, this time last year I was in double digits days of riding
Thanks to Sheepstealer & Slyder
Thanks for the shout out Slyder, your post inspired mine... Thanks Sheepstealer for teaching kids, I'm sure on and off the hill, and for keeping them safe, and (I hope) for making them respectful and respectable park riders.
|Just like I said but bear put it in technical terms. both are spot on
Your welcome
As it sounds like you are going to be riding with these guys for a while, this might help you develop safer more effective plans for them in the future, and if they could learn it themselves even better.
1st a progression will always keep you safer, and make you better win/win
when building a progression each step build on the one before it, a good phrase to follow when building a progression is:
Static, Simple, Complex, Freeride
Static - build the skills not moving so when you mess it up it doesn't hurt
Simple - low speed, low consequence,
Complex - add in more slowly (in this example coming out regular or locking in)
Freeride - practice practice practice
How i get students (kids especially) in to this is by explaining it as you would to adults:
It may seem like we are progressing slowly by doing this, however trying a awesome trick 50 times and messing up EVERY time and maybe even getting hurt will slow your progression down a lot more than trying it static 10 times, simple 10 times, complex 30 times. Same number of tries = your a better rider and safer... Nothing slows progression like an injury!
Start practicing the trick on the ground without the board on to help build muscle memory. Then strap the board on and do they movements again. Now try them while going down hill I know you will use an edge but now your doing it while moving. Then as mentioned take it to a small box. After all this you'll have like 100 reps of the motion before you hit the rail. Find a low rail to start as well
good luck
|Thanks Bear - I'll definitely get them started on flat ground first.
Baby steps
If you have the luxury of a short flat box (3 feet or so is ideal) we will start here. I know there are many names for this trick, depending on many factors, the one i hear used the most around Mt Hood is frontboard. I think the easiest way to do this first, is to jump into it, continue spinning, and come off switch
Here we go:
First on flat ground, not moving, have them get comfortable doing a backside 90, landing with their base flat (this also means relaxed ankles), knees very flexed, upper body in line with gravity, and eyes looking over their back shoulder. Do this a bunch of times until they convince you they get it
Next, approach the rail at a moderate speed, and try everything just the same as above, remember to switch the gaze over the back shoulder, and they will ride out switch.
After many many many times hitting small boxes like this, then you can start getting into more complicated frontboard tricks like:
-locking into frontboard (so the spin does not continue while on the box)
-frontboard back to regular (much harder than to switch imo)
-that big upper and lower body separation like you talked about (this is when it really start getting good) just remember the lower body should be exactly like how i described above, and the upper body turned just enough to see
-270 on to frontboard
backside jibs
This one's for all you park rats out there...
I coach a group of younger kids on the weekends (all guys) ages 11 - 14. Most all are dead set on being the next Shaun White and so we spend a lot of time in the park.
Their ability level is all about the same, with a few kids that are definitely better than the others, which is to be expected, but for the most part they all keep up and push one another, which is cool.
This past weekend we were working on boarslide to fakies, lipslides, etc. These are smaller rails, good for beginners. I'm too lazy to post pictures, so I'll explain best I can. They were doing boarslides facing downhill, so boardsliding down the rail facing forward.
Obviously, one of the next steps of progression is to go backside (I realize the terminology might not be spot on here and the correct name of the trick is dependant on the approach to the rail but bear with me here), jibbing the rail with their back facing downhill. This manuver is definitely more intimidating, as its harder to see your exit off the rail, even more so keep the board flat based so you don't intuitively lean forward, slip out and break teeth.
I can do them myself but I've only gotten to that point after years of practice and riding on my own - I was never coached this.
My question is: how do I explain this trick to them, and get them to do it, safely? Moreover (and this part is for myself a little too) is how do you orient your upper and lower body so your're not just staring at your feet when you slide down the rail. All the pros really turn their shoulder opposite to the torque of their lower body so they're looking DOWN the rail. I have a problem with this, and I catch myself simply staring at my feet and not looking around my shoulder or underneath my armpit.
Any tips? (And kudos for reading all this too!)

Cholesterol & Children
I have been attending a conference for my continuing education (I still love going to school) and one of the topics was Universal Cholesterol Screening in Children. While adults have known the importance of healthy cholesterol levels for a long time, there is more and more data to validate the need for children to have cholesterol levels monitored as well.
The current guidelines by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, which are also endorsed by the AAP recommend that ALL children, regardless of family history have either a non-fasting total cholesterol and HDL level or a fasting lipid panel performed between the ages of 9 & 11 years and again between 17-21 years. Again, these are screening tests only.
The recommendations previously supported screening cholesterol levels for children who had a family history of elevated cholesterol levels or those with familial risk factors for coronary artery disease. Knowing that coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., and also realizing that coronary artery disease really begins in childhood, modifying risk factors in childhood will hopefully lead to a reduction in coronary artery disease later in life. One of these risk factors is elevated cholesterol levels.
What is a healthy cholesterol for a child? A non-fasting lipid panel should look at total cholesterol minus the HDL cholesterol, which gives a non-HDL cholesterol total. The current guidelines recommend that the non-HDL cholesterol should be < 145mg/dl and the HDL should be > 40 mg/dl. If a fasting lipid panel is used the LDL should be < 130 mg/dl, HDL > 40 mg/dl and non-HDL cholesterol <145 mg/dl as well.
The guidelines also state that if the cholesterol is abnormal a repeat screen should be done 2 weeks-3 months after the first screening and the results should be averaged before deciding on further investigation or treatment.
Additionally, there are risk factors such as a history of obesity, high blood pressure, smoking, a history of Kawasaki disease and a family history of early coronary artery disease or sudden cardiac death which should also be considered in the context of evaluating a childs cholesterol.
Knowing your childs cholesterol should help parents engage in diet and lifestyle changes for the entire family. If you know that your child already has a slightly elevated cholesterol work on dietary changes at home. Try limiting your childrens fat to 25-30% of total calories, and limit saturated fat to 8-10% of calories as well as avoiding trans fat! Encourage high fiber foods. Have your childs plate be colorful with a mixture of fruits and vegetables.
Lastly, to help lower cholesterol you need to exercise. That is a prescription we doctors should be writing routinely. Get the family out and move!
More on cholesterol and the use of statins in children in a future daily dose. Stay tuned!

- Canisius enters this weekend's action hitting .348 as a team and the Griffs have outscored their opponents by a combined tally of 61-23.
- The Griffs' seven wins are the most for any team in the MAAC, as of March 6. The other eight MAAC schools have combined for a total of 16 wins to this point in the season.
- As a team, the Griffs have scored nine or more runs in four of the team's last five games, highlighted by a season-high 12-run output Feb. 24, in a 12-0 victory at North Carolina A&T.
- Eight Canisius players are hitting better than .300 this season, led by senior Stephanie Pfentner, who is batting .667 (12-for-18) with three doubles and a slugging percentage of .833.
- Pfentner is one of three Canisius players with three doubles this season, as sophomore Robin Kennery and freshman Tori Nappo also have three two-base hits through eight games. Of the team's 21 extra-base hits, 15 have been for two bases.
- Tori Nappo and Kennery lead the team with 10 RBIs, while five other players have driven in four or more runs this season so far for the Blue and Gold.
- The pitching duo of senior Amanda Baun and junior Jen Consaul have combined to allow just 16 runs this season and only nine of those are earned runs. Baun is 3-0 in four starts with 19 strikeouts in 21 innings of work.
- Consaul, who was named the MAAC's Pitcher of the Week Feb. 24, is 4-1 with a 1.27 ERA and a save this year. She's thrown three complete games so far this year and she ranks first on the team and second in the MAAC with 31 strikeouts in 33 innings of work.
- Canisius head coach Mike Rappl starts the weekend with a career record of 798-472-2, leaving him two wins shy of 800 for his career.
- Two wins this weekend would allow Rappl, a member of the
College's Sports Hall of Fame, to become the 22nd active Division I
softball coach to reach the 800-career coaching win milestone.
Rappl would be the fourth Division I head softball coach to reach the 800-career win mark this season, joining the club with Tory Acheson (Tennessee State), Kathy Strahan (Sacramento State) and Karen Weekly (Tennessee), who all earned their 800th career victory in 2013.
- Rappl, who is in his 34th season as head coach for the Griffs, is the winningest coach of any sport in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.

Christians are called to seriously reflect on the content of their faith, examine their lives and give witness of their faith to others. Dr. Steven Meyer, STD, SLT, assistant professor of theology for the University of St. Thomas School of Theology at St. Mary's Seminary, will discuss how the writings of the late Cardinal Avery Dulles can answer complex questions for our culture today.
He will give a free lecture on "Testimony and Faith in the Year of Faith" at 12:30 p.m. on Jan. 31 in Doherty Library, 1100 West Main St.
Meyer said a young adult can learn from the theology of Dulles that the Gospels are, in part, testimonies, and they give witness to the words and deeds of Jesus.
"Testimonies to faith seem to bear more fruit in evangelization than arguments because they are personal," Meyer said. "More practically, a young person could take the witness of Cardinal Dulles himself."
Meyer tells how Dulles, as a young man, went to Harvard, was an atheist and was almost expelled for partying during his freshman fall semester. He settled down academically and eventually came to believe that God existed during his years as a medieval history major.
Meyer said Dulles' parents were Presbyterian, but Dulles decided he would not return to his childhood religious faith and became a Roman Catholic, which was not a hip move in the eyes of the East Coast elite in the 1940s. Meyer said Dulles, to explain his reasons for coming to faith in general and Catholicism in particular, wrote an autobiographical reflection, "A Testimonial to Grace," while in the U.S. Navy.
Meyer challenges people to follow Dulles' example and think deeply about questions of faith.
"If a young college student or young adult today gave a testimonial as to why they believe in God, Jesus Christ, the Catholic Church, etc., it would relate with others such as persons their age, persons who had the same experience, persons who are questioning the meaning of life, persons questioning the existence of God, or persons questioning the credibility of the Bible and the Church," Meyer said. "As such, testimonials would be effective in the 'new evangelization.' A young adult should ask questions such as: 'Do I have authentic faith? Why?' 'How has faith changed me?' 'Is my life better because of faith?' 'From what sources did I acquire faith?'"
Meyer will discuss these ideas in depth during his lecture. For more information about the event, call 713-525-2192.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Re: Installing dodger questions
One idea would be to take/cut the bottom bracket off the existing frame and make extensions. The extension I'm envisioning would have 2 pieces. The first piece is the main, "outer" piece and is your desired 6" long piece and it matches the outer and inner diameters of the existing frame. If it was mounted using set-screws, the original bracket can be reused and put at the bottom of this first piece. The second piece of the extension is an inner tube whose outer diameter is the same as (actually just a HAIR smaller than) the inner diameter of your existing frame's tube. This one would be cut to be about 12" long. The inner tube slides inside the main, outer extension tube and also into the existing frame. Set-screws, pins, or bolts are used to attach the inner piece/tube to both the existing frame and the outer piece of the extension.
Another idea would be to use something like this:
Stainless Steel Rail Fitting Tees 90 deg 1-1/4"
Or this:
Stainless Steel Connection 1"
I'm not sure how well something as short as those would work if someone pulls on/leans on/falls against the bimini, though. I think I'd prefer to have some of the force distributed along a bigger portion of the frame, that's why I suggested the set-up above. Of course, never having actually done any of these options, I could be WAY off base, but...
And, of course, the most obvious way to get the desired 6" is to buy a new bimini that is taller than you need and "just" cut it down.
Re: Installing dodger questions
Yes it came out well leaving me now with a different question. My profile pic shows the original bimini still in place. It is now gone but would appear to be a candidate to shade the rest of the cockpit if hung right. It fits length and width wise real well. The challenge is height. Using the coaming just forward of the primary winches would seem most natural. However how do I get the needed 6" height increase needed to give me clear vision forward over top of dodger.
Re: Installing dodger questions
That looks quite a bit better than I would think a repurposed dodger from a different boat ever could. However, I would remain concerned that the flap over your side window is going to flog and do some damage. Good luck.
Re: Installing dodger questions
Thanks all. I went with the common sense connectors. Came out pretty good. Will probably have a pro fit it to boat when it gets warmer around here.
Re: Installing dodger questions
It looks like if you moved the stainless frame back a few inches, the curved bottom of the dodger would miss that fixed portlight. I don't know how much you can move it back before it no longer covers the seahood though.
Don't use silicon spray without protecting for overspray (you don't want it on the deck)
Re: Installing dodger questions
You can also hit your fasteners with a shot of silicone to keep corrosion down.
Do, though, be picky about what you clean the Strataglass with. Don't use windex or the like. General cleaning with soap and water. You can buy specific cleaner for Strataglass, IMAR is pretty good stuff. You use it quite sparingly, it'll last a long time

No matter what type of fastener you use monthly lubrication (I use Vaseline) will help the longevity.
Re: Installing dodger questions
Thanks all. This confirms velcro as a bad idea. If you look close each key corner has the female/receiver part of a common sense connector so I think I could get away at least for temporary with installing some studs where needed. To show how cheap I can be, i took the dodger home, let it warm up indoors and then with a hairdryer got the strategiesStrataglass supple again. I then cleaned the torn sections carefully and with more heat pulled the tears together nicely and applied clear vinyl tape. Again a temp fix but one that causes the dodger to better hold its shape. This will allow me to go for a tight fit on the boat using the common sense connectors. After that I will get better pics and work with canvas guy during hot summer months. Hope to update with pics unless it looks too ugly. :-)
Re: Installing dodger questions
I would highly recommend against snaps, unless you are sailing in fresh water. They corrode up pretty quickly and become unusable, often tearing out with the pressure necessary to open them. There are Twist Studs that are stronger, never corrode and they cannot open accidentally. The only drawback is you must have the female pieces installed by a canvas person, unless you want to buy a $300.00 tool.

Gervinho should have no trouble fitting into Arsène Wenger's squad because he's been playing 'the Arsenal way' since he was a boy.
The Ivory Coast star finalised his move from Lille to Emirates Stadium on Monday to become Wenger's second signing of the summer and he is the latest in a long line of graduates from the ASEC academy to complete the journey from Abidjan to the Premier League.
Like Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Eboue before him, Gervinho trained under Jean-Marc Guillou before leaving for Europe. The 24-year-old showed his pedigree by inspiring Lille to the French title last season and he believes he can scale new heights under the tutelage of Wenger.
"It's a great feeling to be an Arsenal player," he told Arsenal.com. "I'm very happy. I've always dreamed to play for this club. I've achieved this dream now and I am so happy. It's one of the most beautiful days of my life.
"Arsenal is an attractive club to me because when I was a kid at the ASEC academy in Abidjan, we were educated to play football the way Arsenal plays. We were lucky to have a coach at the time [Guillou] who had that philosophy. So we tried to play like Arsenal and, since then, I have always wanted to be an Arsenal player. And now I am, so I am delighted.
"I am very happy to be able to work with Arsène Wenger. I came here because I believe that he can make me improve more. In Lille, I worked very well with the manager over there [Rudy Garcia] and I improved with him but I think that with Arsène Wenger I will reach another level in my career."
The Arsenal manager has already hailed Gervinho's versatility - he can play on either flank or through the middle - and the new signing has a rather appropriate hero given his new surroundings.
"Regarding my position, I feel really comfortable in any position up front," said Gervinho. "The most important thing is that I bring a lot to the team wherever I am playing. My idol has always been Thierry Henry."

"My best review is for the person(s) who worked behind the scenes to make the copy fit and to add the photos. I am extremely pleased with their work. I wish I had known earlier that someone was available to help me. I probably called just before I was prepared to poke my eyes out... I could have gone to someone local, but for some reason I think the person(s) who set up and produced my father's funeral program did the best job. So, I will return. Thank you for a job well done."
"I used this event program for a corporate cocktail/networking event. I like that it is not 'flashy' but still has a sense of whimsy and hints at 'fun'. The colors are exactly as pictured; very polished and not too overwhelming. I purchased the coordinating invitations and gift tag stickers and the entire 'scheme' looks terrific!"
"We used this program for a work party and used the green bubbles. The black is a nice semi-gloss coating an the quality of paper is heavy and nice. So it looks totally custom. We LOVE Tiny Prints and have used them several times. Their customer service is AMAZING!!! Worth the cost."

Apple Signs License Agreement with Swiss Railway for "Stolen" iOS 6 Clock Design
Tiffany Kaiser

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The companies haven't disclosed how much Apple is paying
Apple has decided to pay up for an allegedly
stolen clock design
in its latest iOS 6 mobile operating system.
IOS 6, which was
released last month
only days ahead of the iPhone 5, featured a new clock design for the iPad that seemed pretty basic. Just a white face with black, rectangular notches representing the numbers, black hour/minute hands and a red seconds hand. No big deal, right?
Wrong. The iOS 6 clock was nearly identical to a clock design developed by a railway company in Switzerland called Swiss Federal Railways (SBB). SBB said its company created that clock design back in 1944.

When SBB became aware of the stolen design, it immediately contacted Apple in hopes of some sort of licensing agreement.
"We are proud that this icon of clock design is being used by a globally successful company," said Reto Kormann, SBB spokesperson. "We've approached Apple and told them that the rights for this clock belong to us."
Apple has agreed on licensing terms
for the clock design with SBB. However, the companies haven't disclosed how much Apple is paying.
It's interesting to see Apple on the losing end of a copyright infringement claim; especially after the hell it has put Samsung through over mobile patent lawsuits. After a lengthy battle with Samsung around the globe, a U.S. jury
found Samsung guilty of copying the iPhone/iPad
for its Galaxy line. Not only was Samsung ordered to pay $1.05 billion USD in damages, but a court date on December 6 may lead to more product bans for the South Korean electronics maker. Apple is also looking to
boost that $1.05 billion fine to $3 billion
The Verge
"Intel is investing heavily (think gazillions of dollars and bazillions of engineering man hours) in resources to create an Intel host controllers spec in order to speed time to market of the USB 3.0 technology." -- Intel blogger Nick Knupffer

The Ó Maolfhábhail family of western Inishowen~Kings of Carrickabraghy
In an earlier blog I wrote about some of the Inishowen families who were from the Cenél nEógain dynasty, the original inhabitants of the peninsula before its conquest by the O'Doherty family from Tír Chonaill in the late 1300s and early 1400s. In this blog, the first in almost a year(!) I would like to take a closer look at one of these Cenél nEógain families, Ó Maolfhábhail, who were kings of Carrickabraghy in north-west Inishowen in early medieval times.
The Ó Maolfhábhail family were a distinguished branch of the Cenél nEógain dynasty and were the head of a related group of families called the Cenél Fergusa. The family ruled the north western section of the Inishowen peninsula and the chieftain of the Ó Maolfhábhails is actually given the title 'King of Carraic Brachaidhe' (Carrickabraghy) in the Annals of Ulster from the late eleventh-century (1082 AD) to the end of the twelfth-century (1199 AD). Not many leaders of a branch of the Cenél nEógain were called kings in the Irish annals so the Ó Maolfhábhail family must have been very high-up in the noble hierarchy of the kingdom of Tyrone during these years. The annals record the deaths of Ó Maolfhábhail kings of Carrickabraghy in the years 1053 (Flaithbertach Ua Maolfhábhail), 1066 (Muirchertach Ua Maolfhábhail), 1082 (Gillachrist Ua Maolfhábhail) and 1103 (Sitric Ua Maolfhábhail). The first two kings have fine typical Cenél nEógain dynasty personal names but Sitric is a Hiberno-Norse or Scandinavian personal name suggesting that north-west Inishowen had trading links with Dublin or the Hebrides during this period.
The year 1166 was a year of crisis for the Cenél nEógain when the high-kingship of Ireland, held by the king of Tyrone Muirchertach McLoughlin collapsed. The Annals of Ulster record that early in this year Muirchertach killed Hugh Ó Maolfhábhail, the king of Carrickabraghy 'in treachery'. Muirchertach McLoughlin had blinded the King of the Ulaid in defiance of powerful guarantees of safety and as a result the nobles and people of Tyrone refused to support their McLoughlin King anymore. Muirchertach may have killed Hugh Ó Maolfhábhail in a failed effort to re-assert his authority in the kingdom of Tyrone. McLoughlin was killed soon-after in east Tyrone when attended by less than twenty followers, an ignominious end to his high-kingship of the island of Ireland.
The last Ó Maolfhábhail king of Carrickabraghy, Cathalan Ua Maolfhábhail, is recorded in the annals as being killed in the year 1199 AD. There continued to be Ó Maolfhábhail chieftains in Inishowen in the early thirteenth-century but they were no longer regarded as kings. The head of the family now bore the title 'Chief of Cenél Fergusa', meaning he was now regarded as the leader of this branch of the Cenél nEógain but no longer as a petty-king among the nobles of the kingdom of Tyrone.
The power of the Ó Maolfhábhail chieftains had a bloody and very violent end in the year 1216 when Trad Ua Maolfhábhail 'chief of Cenél Fergusa, along with his kinsmen' were massacred 'with great havoc' by some Scots that King John I had introduced to the Lough Foyle and Coleraine region. This massacre of the Ó Maolfhábhail in 1216 was so extensive that the power of the family was permanently broken and the family are never mentioned in the Irish annals again.
According to Seoirse Ó Dochartaigh, the modern authority on the O'Doherty conquest and settlement of Inishowen some of the descendants of Toimilin O'Doherty later took control of the north-west Inishowen region where they built a fortress called Carrickabraghy Castle, which obviously took its name from the small kingdom of the Ó Maolfhábhail family. The Ó Maolfhábhail family continued to live on the lands of their former petty-kingdom because some of their descendants continue to live in Inishowen to this day. In the nineteenth century the surname in Inishowen was often anglicized as Mulfaal or even Fall. Sometimes the surname was even anglicized as Lavelle, although this tended to happen more among holders of the surname whose ancestors may have migrated into the province of Connacht over the years. The continuing effects of the massacre of 1216 continued into the early 1600s however, with not one person with the surname being of substantial enough status to be pardoned with Sir Cahir O'Doherty, the overlord of Inishowen in 1602 although many McLoughlins and some O'Dubhdiormas also are recorded.
Nevertheless the history of the Ó Maolfhábhail family is an interesting one and not many families among the Cenél nEógain dynasty could say that their chieftains were kings in their own right for over a century.
The Ó Maolfhábhail and Ó Duibhdhíorma families of Inishowen
Donegal people sometimes have heated debates about officially changing the name of their county to Tír Chonaill. Many inhabitants of the county who are very proud of their local history wonder why the name is not easily changed while others, probably a minority (but a sizeable one), point out that the peninsula of Inishowen and the flat lands around Lifford were not part of historical Tír Chonaill and so the county name should remain Donegal. The answer to this question is that both arguments are correct, depending on what period of history people are interested in. In medieval times up until around the year 1350 AD Inishowen and the plains to the south were actually part of the lordship of Tyrone. Inishowen (from Irish Inis Eógain or Eoghan's Island), was actually the original territory of the Cenél nEógain people before they struck out across Lough Foyle in medieval times to gradually conquer the modern counties of Derry, Tyrone and Armagh from the original Ulster people who were dispossessed and corralled east of Lough Neagh and the river Bann. However, after the year 1350 the Cenél Conaill family of O'Doherty conquered the Inishowen peninsula and as sub-chieftains of the O'Donnell lords of Tír Chonaill, the Inishowen peninsula did indeed become an integral part of the early modern lordship of Tír Chonaill. As an early modern historian I would naturally enough like the county name to be changed to Tír Chonaill, but can understand why others prefer things to stay as they were, although I do think these people like to conveniently ignore the O'Doherty conquest of Inishowen for the Cenél Conaill.

Probst 50th anniversary


text:
Thousands of people in Russia have suddenly become frightened as the economic crisis ripples through their society and a similar feeling is growing in China. Thousands of migrants are being compelled to return to their native areas as jobs dry up due to economic downturns. The Chinese government is facing economic dislocation together with the 50th anniversary of the Dalai Lama fleeing Tibet and the 20th anniversary of the infamous Tiananmen massacre. Chinese President Hu Jintao and his top generals have publicly warned the armed forces they must obey the Communist Party without question. The Central Military Commission issued a statement that "we must make sure the army will follow the instruction of the (Central Military Commission) and the Communist Party at any time, under any circumstances."
Chinese leaders are most probably exaggerating threats to their power, but such is the impact of a world-wide economic disaster that governments suddenly are worried about violence and disorder. There will be public protests as people lose their jobs or are forced by economic considerations to leave life in the city for the boredom of a rural existence. The real question the Chinese government should be focusing on is what do migrant workers do if compelled to return to villages and farms after years of making good money working in factories?
