Things the instructor did well, things that you left complaining about, if they explained something really well, if you were lost the whole time, if your kid had fun in the lesson and what the instructor did to make it fun, how much did you learn, what did you find was the best way for you to learn this sport...stuff like that. So lets hear the stories
From time to time, you'll get the odd person who WANTS that metaphor, and that's ok. But again, keep the metaphor sweet and simple.
As gjsnowboarder mentioned as well, go to morning sessions!!! There is usually a lot of insight to gain by talking with higher level evaluators in terms of how to make your lessons more efficient with how you can analyze movement and how you can learn various ways to teach students certain things. Even after taking the level 2 training course and teaching for eight seasons, I feel like I can never get enough insight in how to be better at what I do. For myself, one thing I've noticed with these sessions is that my form is always getting critiqued and poked and prodded and this has helped me be able to look at another rider and say, "Ok, this is what you're doing, and this is how you can improve this" and a lot of students appreciate that.
I hope this helps!
The first time I went snowboarding, I bought a package that included 3 group lessons. I had a blast in the two that I did attend, and funnily enough for the reasons that were already mentioned in this thread.
The First lesson we had (group of about 7, 4 of which were my friends and I) was very good. This lesson was marked as "first time snowboarding." He took us to the "kid" slope (not the bunny slope, but the kid area where the "lift" is like a conveyor belt) and showed us how to make toeside and heelside turns/carves. He first described it, showed us, then had us do it one at a time and gave us feedback immediately. After a few times down we went to the bunny hill and worked on linking them. By the end of this lesson I had absolutely no fear of going down a green run. Its not that i didnt fall when i went down the run, just i wasnt like "oh shit im gonna die" mode. Our instructor for this lesson was a younger guy, about 19, and he looked like he was having fun instructing us, so it made it more enjoyable for the group.
The second lesson (marked as "comfortable on greens" difficulty), it was obvious after 10m into it that my friend and I were better than the rest of the group. This instructor (probably about late 20's female) took us to the bunny hill and tried to teach us "falling leaf" and "garlands" when we had been practicing linking turns by the end of the last lesson. After about 15m she got another instructor to take us up by ourselves on a blue run, which was a pretty long run. We spent the rest of the time going down the run twice, but each time we would go about 100-200ft, stop, talk about what we were working on/ what we need to do different, then he would he go ahead and wait for us to come down, or tell us to ride to a certain point so he could see us from behind.
Don't get me wrong either, the woman from beginning of the second lesson was a great person and instructor, she just had to teach to the level of the "weakest" link. As far as what i would say made the lessons good, was that they were attentive to the group, seemed like they were having fun teaching us, gave good feedback, showed you what to do as much as told you, and made the overall experience enjoyable.
Excellent feedback here. I'm going to tackle it from the opposite view of someone who teaches and clinics other instructors. I've noticed over the years with assisting in the hiring clinics and on going training at my mountain several things.
Smile and have a good time. You get to do your job on a snowboard. When the guest see you relaxing and having fun, they can relax and have fun.
When you intially meet them and at the end of the lesson take the goggles/sunglasses of so they can see your eyes. It helps to personalize the lesson.
For little kids get down to their eye level and don't talk down to them. Unless there under five don't kiddie talk them either. Use simple terms they can understand but throw the baby talk out.
Be Patient and understanding
For younger students make the lesson and exercise a game.
Fall down every once in a while for fun. This helps students understand its alright. Plus how else are you going to check the snow conditions?
Do through in little ground tricks. It can inspire students. Don't over do it though or it will have the opposite effect.
ATTEND your mountains training. The new hire process is only the tip of the iceberg. Also look into getting certified with AASI.
For training, it can be dry sometimes, but learn MA(movement Analysis). It will give you the foundation you need to keep your students meaningful feedback that address their movement needs and wants. I can't even begin to stress this enough.
Use your resources, more experienced instructors can help provide tips and tricks that can make your job easier.
Remember that learning snowboarding isn't a sprint. It's a marathon. People will learn at different paces. Set realistic goals and be willing to adapt to the changing needs of your students.
Cheerleading is good, but don't over do it.
Don't be afraid to get hands on. One caveat, make sure you are not evading a person personal space. Ask permission. Monkey-see monkey do or simon-says can work for those people that don't like to be touched.
Learn a new discipline. It is amazing the insight that one can get from a different sport. Plus it can help relate for example ski movements to snowboard movements. Makes you look good in the director's eye if you can teach different discplines as well. Being on the director's good side can pay divdends in pay and on powderdays.
Don't take the Code for granted. Its all good to have fun, but remember getting hurt is never fun.
Oh, and when you have the opportunity to go "Shred the GNAR". DO IT!! Even if the snow, or weather is crappy, or you have had a bad day teaching. Remember what snowboarding is about.
Your enthusiasm to teach is contagious. Your students of all ages will feel it. I'm still doing this after over a decade because of the every time a student gets it gives me a feeling of accomplishment and allows me to share my love of snowboarding with someone else.
congrats on getting this far in the process and slay it on your ride day.

My (older) son is six and has been on skis the past two seasons. He's had lots of lessons, so he's heard plenty about pizza slices and french fries. But he calls them "number 7" and "number 11" turns. So you'll hear me say "Let's see if we can do this whole run using 'number 11' turns."
This season he's trying snowboarding. (He'll have lessons.) I've done a little dry land prep with him. The "cereal box" image does nothing for him -- he doesn't get that at all. But we've come up with "scared to go down the hill" and "happy to go down the hill" as descriptions to coax out good body position. So we've played around standing sideways on the hill in our yard and on the sliding board at the playground, trying to get comfortable in "happy to go down the hill" position (athletic ready stance, perpendicular to the fall line, weight centered or forward) instead of "scared to go down the hill" (weight on back leg, front leg extended, and funny cringing-in-fear facial expressions). Should this have been the first thing to work on with him? I don 't know -- probably not. But you will be hearing me yell "Whee! Happy to go down the hill!" out on the slopes this season.
(There's a nice bit in one of those Snowprofessor videos where the guy adjusts the girl into the "happy to go down the hill" stance (only they don't call it that, of course). I'll show that to the kid one of these days just to prove that I'm not some wacko making this shit up.)
Awesome! Thanks for all of the replies and responses!
First off, it seems like the biggest negative is just douche bag kids only teaching to log hours or get a free pass to ride, and neither of those are even in my realm of personality. First off, luckily I am not looking at this as my ticket to ride, I have had a season pass for this year since last year, so weather or not I am a coach I still am going to be riding, this is more a way to substitute some income by doing something I love, so if i do a shit job at it I would be failing myself. It is just not in me personally to be a lazy and useless slob texting on the lift while doing a job like this that I love so much. I want to help and see the clients progress as much as they do.
Scott, please continue to ramble ill be sure to literally take notes on your points and take them to the training days and figure out how to incorporate my new found insider knowledge to what they are teaching. My biggest priority will be learning fundamental teaching skills that work for different personality types, and also how to notice slight skill bad habits and how to show and give examples on how to fix. Being hands on and showing directly and doing instead of explaining in depth and using metaphors was a good point as well. The idea of having the fastest progressing people helping the slower ones is an awesome idea! Does it work for most age groups? Does it work better for some vs others?
thanks again everyone for the input! Now i just need some dam snow so my hill can open and I can get to work.
As always, but more than usual I really enjoyed this TLDidR from the man.
Right here in the middle, I just lost it LOLLING...

Seriously though most of the thread will probably be opinions to weigh while Snowolf's contributions can probably be taken as textbook-better-than-textbook. Learn it.
I've never been an instructor although it is something I'd like to try some day. I have taken a few private lessons and I can give you my good and bad experiences.
Good - My instructor for the session looked very young, like 16 years old young. I'm 43 and wanted to learn some basics on how to successfully ride a box. My first impression was negative, a young kid - probably a self-entitled little park rat with an attitude doing lessons he didn't care about to ride for free. I could not have been more wrong. Turns out he was actually 20 (still young!) but just looked like a teenage kid. He was incredibly polite and a professional maturity well beyond his years. What he did right...
He listened to me, what my goals were and what my anxiety was. He quite literally coached me. We discussed on the lift what step(s) we were going to work on on the next run, talking me through the steps. He demonstrated those steps on the hill with me observing. Then he observed me and provided immediate constructive criticism and feedback before moving on to the next progressive step.
Not only did I sincerely thank him but I did tip him out very well. I also spoke with the head of the ski/snowboard school and gave him a glowing review and the next day wrote an email to the resorts GM letting him know that he had a very talented young man on staff and they should encourage him to further pursue instruction.
Bad - I decided I needed another refresher on park features. I've become more risk adverse and figured another lesson was a great way to force myself for at least that one hour to spend it on features. I also wanted a check-point, how was I doing now that it had been about a month since my original lesson described above. I had a different instructor, also somewhat young but seemed to be in his early 20's. Completely opposite experience this time. For this lesson, I was just another number. There was little interest in working with me, it was like he was just punching the clock so he could log another hour of instruction. During the session, he would give a couple words of advice like "just go man, you can do it!" and "Uhhhh yea, just like... ride up and over it you know?" and I basically would ride the run top to bottom without further interaction. I'd occasionally see him off to the side of the trail in the trees. At the bottom, he'd meet back up and ride the lift back to the top. The only constructive piece of feedback he gave me was related to my general riding stance and tendency to over-rotate my upper body downhill. I've always done this, for 20+ years of riding to where it is my default natural riding position to me. Not the most efficient body position but I've always rode this way. That being said, I was open to his feedback and knew it was a life-long bad habit of mine and I figured I could at least get SOMETHING out of this lesson so I asked his advice on how to correct it... he had no idea, just that it was "not the right form". Thus ended the lesson for me that day as I told him I was good the rest of the hour and to take off. I spent the rest of the hour just cruising.
So I guess my take-away for you is this - do it if you love it and enjoy teaching. If this is just a way to get a free lift ticket for you, it will show to your clients/customers. Don't waste our time and money, make room for someone who actually cares about what they're doing.
Gee wizz Wolfie, almost sounds like you know what your talkin about
I've never had a lesson, I might take one on my spring trip or next year when I hit that wall between intermediate/advanced.Last year I got my GF's 11 y/o son 2 lessons, one private, and one semi private( with one of his friends) The first guy was outstanding, the second one was..okay.
Here's the differences I saw, keep in mind this is a speed bump in Iowa. The first guy met us in the rental area and helped finishing up the gear fitting/instruction part of things (basically took over for me so I could get the hell out of the there and go ride :P) One of the first things he asked him was if there was any heel lift in his boots, and went on to explain what heel lift was. I dipped while he was showing him how to get in/out of the bindings. Very respectful young man, I could tell he was stoked on his job, gave me a "I got this, you can dip" Look.
The second guy showed up 5-10 minutes late to the meeting area and acted like he didn't even want to be there. At the end of the day my GF's son hadn't improved and his friend almost seemed traumatized.
I watched both from the lift, the first guy would talk to the boy for a few, then ride down 20' or so, stop, turn around, and wave for him to come on, then when the boy caught up to him, would talk for a few and repeat the process. On the first chair up I could see by the instructors body movements he was explaining how to get off the lift.
The second guy was texting on the lift, rode about a 1/4 of the way down the hill, texted while the boys were catching up, then took off after less then a minute spent "instructing" .... Nice enough kid, but acted more like he was babysitting, then teaching snowboarding.
The moral of the story is, do your job to the best of your abilities, you are a teacher not a babysitter. Oh yeah..and ya might wanna heed Snowolfs advice, sounds perfectly logical to me.
Wolfie had some great nuggets up there.
The main thing to remember about your new profession is it's student centered. You're not the important one... they are.
Empathy is a common trait I see in many talented instructors. Try to gather enough information to put yourself in their boots. It's the difference between teaching to them VS at them.
In another area, I think Bones really hits on something important here. Many first year instructors struggle with this concept.

Good Luck
As an aging adult who still takes lessons one night a week (one night of guaranteed riding and no cat-herding of friends), I'll echo a few of the above comments:
1) less talk, more rock. If you can't explain a drill in less than a minute, then work on your explanation on the next lift up but move on to another drill. I want to do, not have doing described to me.
2) For me personally, be physical. Don't keep saying "get lower" over and over, I heard you the first time. Problem is: I think my stance is low. Next chance you get, put your hands on my shoulders, push me down and say "that's what I mean by low".
3) Don't be annoyingly positive. People can tell what is false praise. Yes, you want to keep their spirits up during a rough stretch, but clapping and high fiveing after every run whether they fell 20x or not at all annoys me.
4) Give me some tip or drill that I can use to self-assess when you're not around. For example, I know I have a tendency to not shift my balance fore and aft well when carving. It just creeps in turn after turn and I don't notice until I start washing out a lot more frequently late in the day. I used to think it was a starting sign of my old legs getting tired later in the day. My instructor gave me one stupid little drill that I can do to check up on myself and now I can tell that it's not me getting tired, it's me getting lazy. Best $20 lesson I ever had.

Arsène Wenger expects Robin van Persie to end the weekend as the newly crowned PFA Player of the Year.
The winner is announced on Sunday and the Arsenal captain is the frontrunner after netting 27 times in the Premier League alone this season.
Van Persie has not scored from open play for six games but Wenger is certain that the Dutchman will come good - hopefully against Chelsea on Saturday.
"Honestly I expect him to be Player of the Season," said Wenger. "I do [expect a second wind as well], but let's not put too much pressure on him.
"We cannot ask for too much more from Robin, he has given absolutely everything the whole season and he will again on Saturday. I don't want to put on his head and his shoulders the fact that he absolutely has to score because I believe we can score from different compartments in the team.
"If we create the chances he will score."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

Monday 14th February 2011
Although the scoreline doesn't suggest it, Mick McCarthy admitting his team were 'spanked' in his post-match TV interview is as good an indication as any to how events unfolded on Saturday afternoon.
An early disallowed goal when an advantage was mysteriously brought back seemed to spur us on and the only shock come half-time was that we were only one goal to the good, courtesy of RVP's fine volley.
Things in front of goal can be so different from one week to the next and the last two league games proved just that. At Newcastle we were absolutely devastating in the opening half hour with all our chances ending up in the back of the net.
Yet this week, the number of opportunities created bordered on the embarrassing but only two proved successful.
Our attacking football was quite superb at times, the perfect example being our second goal. Simply fantastic to watch and quite awesome in its simplicity.
More importantly for me however, Saturday demonstrated how important it is to be equally as strong when you haven't got the ball. For 90 minutes we never gave our visitors a moment of time, culminating in the fact their first attempt at goal sailed way over the bar in injury time.
Of course, Wolves are not in a relegation battle for no reason so it would be wrong to go too over the top but that same team defeated the team currently top of the league only last week. Overall it was a powerful, enjoyable and professional performance and gave us another important three points.
Barcelona at home next then. Arguably the best team in the world right now so we simply couldn't have a sterner test. If that doesn't excite you then you shouldn't be a fan!

Re: Ed Reed needs to go
Ed Reed is still one of the elite safeties in the league. I guarantee you that every quarterback in the league would be very relieved if Ed Reed retired.
Re: Ed Reed needs to go
you guys are crazy. Pollard and Reed best tandem in NFL. Problem is Dline push, lack of LB's, and hurt corners. Safety is not the issue. The center of the Raven dline has no push and rarely if ever collapses the pocket, you used to not be able to run on the Ravens, then they would take the run away from you and make you 1 demensional. That cant do that now. Talent is lacking in several spots, Safety is not one of them.

Re: Ed Reed needs to go
As I posted elsewhere, Ed Reed is being Ed Reed, but doesn't have the athleticism that Ed Reed needs to be Ed Reed. He undercuts balls looking for the interception, but when he gambles, he isn't nearly as successful as he has been in the past. He's lost a few steps, and unfortunately, you can see definite instances where it's cost the team.
Take Decker's TD for instance in the Bronco's game. Decker had 2 steps on Cary thanks to biting on Play Action. Once Decker made the catch, there was no way Cary would have gotten him. However, the person who should have gotten him was Ed Reed, who instead had undercut the route and was completely out of place. That's just once instance, and I'm sure there have been others.
I love Ed Reed, and I love watching him play, but he's clearly lost a step or two, and his tackling has been incredibly subpar (understandable due to the injury). However, by the same token, I don't really think that there's a better alternative on the team at all. Maybe there is, but I'm not 100% sure.
Re: Ed Reed needs to go
If hurdling Ed Reed were an Olympic sport it'd be called the Modern Cant-tack-alon.

Re: Ed Reed needs to go
With that shoulder/neck, Ed should just retire, or if he really wants a shot at a ring, then he should go to a team that can win now and ride the bench as a backup.
But Ed's got too much drive and too much pride to do either.
He;ll probably get the Ray Lewis treatment from our FO: go test the free agency market and when you see there's no interest in a 35 year old safety with a chronic injury, then he'll come back to the Ravens, if they still want him, for a 2 year deal at a cap friendly, reasonable price.

I agree he doesn't "need" to go. Even hurt, he's still someone other teams have to game plan for.
But I cannot see this FO giving in to his contract demands. He's good, but I'm getting the sense he's burned a bridge or two with his antics so I'm not so sure the team wants him back.

Re: Ed Reed needs to go
vinny cerrato is saying on the fan that that td to decker was cary's fault...on that play ed had the underneath and cary was supposed to get deep...cary admitted it on 'one winning drive'
Re: Ed Reed needs to goFestivus
His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.

I've been working on my sintra Jango chest armor the pat couple of days and I just got to rub n buff it today. It's plain sintra that I sanded with 600 grit, primed with Rustoleum professional grade primer (or something like that; it was definitely Rustoleum), I sanded that with 600 grit, and then I wet sanded with 1000 grit. When I rubbed the silver on I tried my best to imitate what Seeker did in his video tutorial, then I buffed each piece for 10 minutes with an old t-shirt and for the most part I'm pretty happy with my results.
There's just one area in the middle of the right chest piece that did not come out well. Every time I try to put more rub n buff on it just doesn't stick. There are some smudges like this on the other pieces, but they're much smaller and less prominently placed so they seem more natural I guess than this one. Can anybody help me out here with getting this one area fixed?

Two locals captured in Laurel after shooting, high-speed chase
(LAUREL) — Two Miles City men are in custody following a shooting and high-speed chase through Laurel Monday afternoon.
Police attempted to apprehend Austin Allery, 18, and Hayden Lowry, 19, in the parking lot of the Laurel Wal-Mart, 100 Bernhardt Rd., shortly after 1 p.m. when shots were fired.
One suspect was captured, but the other fled the area in a maroon pickup truck bearing bullet holes. The man led police on a chase for about 30 minutes before the truck he was driving went off the road near Snowline Vista Way and Old U.S. Highway 10 west of Laurel.
As of press time, officials had not named which suspect was driving the vehicle or the extent of injuries, if any.
The men were wanted in connection with a five-county theft spree that culminated when Laurel police attempted to make a traffic stop on a stolen white Dodge pickup truck at about 11 p.m. Saturday night.
Lowry and Allery fled, leading law enforcement on a high-speed chase through rural back roads near the Yellowstone-Stillwater County line. Having unknowingly driven down a dead end, the stolen pickup truck careened off a 30-foot embankment northwest of Laurel and rolled another 100 feet into a field. Firearms, some confirmed stolen, were flung from the wreck.
Multiple agengies searched for an hour and a half, but the two men had disappeared into a snowstorm.

Elephant Sanctuary
Ever wonder where old elephants go after the zoos or circuses don't want them any longer, when they are to old for tricks and being on display or just aren't being entertaining enough for the people who own them? Where elephants who have been abused almost their entire life and who haven't seen another elephant since they were taken from their homes when they were small go?
Some go to The Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, TN. It's a true sanctuary and is not open to the public for any visits. The entire place is set up to try to be as close as possible to natural habitats and the elephants are well taken care of with little human interaction, they do not need to entertain or worry about anything except acting like elephants and being happy and healthy.
You can view youtube videos of the elephants taken from the Ele-Cams that are placed throughout the sanctuary. You can also sign up for notifications when the elephants are out and about and get to watch them live as they go about their daily lives. They all have heartbreaking life stories, some are just truly amazing that they are still alive and well.
Shirley and Tarra can be highly entertaining.
If you are interested in elephants or just animals in general, I recommend checking the site and the cams out! Even better - help the elephants and the sanctuary out and feed an elephant for a day!
Elephants are one of the most magnificent creatures on this planet, and my fav too :)
I am from India and have seen Elephants from close during my childhood.
Recently with PETA India, we filed a petition to rescue an elephant named "Sundar" who was being used to do labor work. Finally Supreme court of India has asked their owners to release him in the forest :)
I still pray to god that please make me an elephant in next life ^_^
Peachi and I support this place because of what they do, when elephants are taken away from bad/abusive owners this is where they go or to PAWS in Ca,We signed the petition for Sundar, the sad thing is he was supposed to have been rescued and in a sanctuary years ago.
We have one here in Arkansas as well. I did a little reading about it while looking for zoos to take my son to. They have a program (an expensive one) where you spend the whole weekend there helping with the elephants, and learning about them. From what i understand it doesn't matter what type of elephant, temperament, age, health ect they will take it in.
I was extremly surprised to find out its within half an hour of my house and i didnt even know it. I drove past it every day for 6 months on my way to work. Amazing what you learn when bored, plagued with insomnia and an urge to educate your child about wildlife... Lol

AMES, Iowa — The rich culture and interesting lifestyles of Iowa's most unique communities await participants in the Road Scholar program. The travel courses are created and taught by Diane Van Wyngarden, a community and economic development specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.
"I provide history and insights about each community you'll visit and take you into private homes and places you could never otherwise experience," Van Wyngarden said.
The 2012 travel schedule includes tours of Iowa's uncommon utopian communities, historic towns along the Upper Mississippi River and a four-state tour along the Missouri River.
The travel adventures are geared for lifelong learners and are part of the national Road Scholar nonprofit organization, Van Wyngarden explained. The courses require no prior study, no homework and no tests — simply a desire to learn. The programs are open to all adults, but most participants are age 45 and above.
"The programs attract couples, friends traveling together, persons sharing an adventure with one of their parents, and many solo travelers," Van Wyngarden said.
Each course has a theme of study and includes travel by boat or motorcoach to a different community each day, covering 500-900 miles in six or seven days, Van Wyngarden said. "The courses are very economical, since course fees include virtually all costs, including all hotels, motorcoach, boats, instructors, entry fees, your personal host and study leaders, almost all meals and even all gratuities."
The all-inclusive courses cost less than $200 per day, double occupancy. Every detail is already planned and paid, so participants can simply relax and enjoy the experiences, Van Wyngarden said.
For more information about these programs go to ISU Extension and Outreach's Road Sch olar website at www.extension.iastate.edu/RoadScholar or contact Diane Van Wyngarden at email@example.com.
Registration is now open and the courses are filling quickly. To register for a program, call National Road Scholar in Boston (toll free) at 1-877-426-8056 and state the program number of the appropriate course, or register online from the links on the ISU Extension and Outreach Road Scholar website.

Esther Perel:
The secret to desire in a long-term relationship
In long-term relationships, we often expect our beloved to be both best friend and erotic partner. But as Esther Perel argues, good and committed sex draws on two conflicting needs: our need for security and our need for surprise. So how do you sustain desire? With wit and eloquence, Perel lets us in on the mystery of erotic intelligence.

With great power comes great responsibility. So says the tradition of witching. One teenage witch missed that lesson....
As a child, Sierra Brighton traveled the world. She swam with the baby whales, danced in storm funnels, and lived in complete magical freedom. And then Momma died and Sierra ended up in foster care, an unhappy and very secret witch.
Fetched by Nell's spell, she'll no longer need to do magic on lonely beaches - but can Sierra learn to use her power safely? Or will her reckless blood put Witch Central at risk?
A Reckless Witch is book three in the top-rated A Modern Witch series. While each book tells a complete story, you'll enjoy the characters far more if you start at the beginning of the series.
©2011 Debora Geary (P)2012 Debora Geary
"Orphaned Witch Needs a New Home"
Heartbreaking - Hopeful - Loving
We are back in America and meet Sierra Brighton, an orphaned teenager who uses her magical powers to dance with the ocean - yes, the water itself. Ms. Geary pulled me into the scene (and the book) with her wonderful writing. I felt like I was there with Sierra enjoying the freedom and happiness of this magical dance. This is especially noteworthy since I cannot swim - what a wonderful "experience" for me! Thanks also to Ms. Pardee for another outstanding narration!
Sierra is a very sympathetic orphan who is the perfect mix of tough-as-nails versus broken little girl character. Ms. Geary did a fabulous job developing her for this story. The three twin girls work lovingly with Sierra and I enjoyed these scenes very much. Aervyn still owns my heart. When he grows up, I want to marry him.
Yes, in fact I did listen to this book until its completion at 1 am in the morning - on a work night.
The book is about a young girl who loses her mother and has to hide her witchy talents while being placed in various foster care homes for six years. It is a lonely existence, but she seems to fair better than most in this system. However, she is about to turn 18 and will be kicked out of foster care at that time. Nell's wonderful witch-finder spell finds Sierra in the nick of time and that is where the magic truly begins. While there is much laughter and happiness in this story, it also had some heart-rending moments to it. (Not bad enough to make me cry though.) The story also has some world-wide implications which were a pleasant, yet well thought-out surprise. Well done, Ms. Geary! There is a bonus feature to this book - A Witch Central Wedding was added to the end in it's entirety. It is an item that you pay for separately on Amazon, so I was thrilled to get this little bonus here. Thank you very much for that little present.Lastly, when I looked on Amazon to get Sierra's last name (Brighton), I was pleasantly surprised to see that there are more books in this series that are not available on Audible. So if you enjoy this series as much as I do, please look for the rest of the series there. Audible, PLEASE bring the rest of the audio books in this series to your offerings. I'd really enjoy being able to hear them narrated as well as reading them on my Kindle. Thank you!
"Just Can't Get Enough of these Wonderful People!!!"
Joyful, Sad, Healing... These stories don't just tell of the joys and struggles of being a witch, but of everyday experiences felt by all of people-kind. I simply love the community and caring that is expressed in these stories.
When Sierra recognizes that she is no longer alone. Without ruining the story for a new reader, the love and caring and inclusiveness that the folks at Witch Central give to Sierra is wonderful. All of these stories pull at the heart-strings...
Yes I have and I absolutely Love Martha Harmon Pardee! I'm hoping Audible continues to bring Debora Geary's books to audible life, and sincerely hope Martha will be the performer. I so enjoy the personality her voice changes brings to the different characters.
There are a number of them... There are moments of happiness and fun. Moments of sorrow and deep sadness. Healing... and Joy... I don't want to ruin the surprise for anyone. Just know that you will be moved...
I really, really do hope Audible makes the rest of Debora's books available, again with Martha as the performer. I'd order all of them in a split second. I really don't want these stories to end.
A delightful mix of magic, love, babies, weddings, drama, teaching young ones the right way to go and dealing with the past! A veritable roller coaster!
"Heart-warming story"
This is a wonderful depiction of true community and unconditional love. It is inspiring for this UUA minister to be!
Great book to relax into for the pure fun of it. A light hearted pleasure.
"Audible narration truly enhances this book!"
All of Geary's series are heartwarming & exciting. The characters are enchanting & loveable. She created a world of love, family -(both of the blood & the heart), & acceptance of all Witch Cenfral's family. Being able to listen when unable to read the kindle version or listening while reading made the experience even better.
Lovely growing tale of young lonely witch. This is exactly what you expect from Debora Geary. If liked previous parts of modern witch series, you will love this too.
"Need more Witch Central books!!"
I loved this book and as soon as I finished it, I looked for the next one but Audible doesn't list any more!! I read the first three and I am hopelessly hooked!

"Somewhat Silly But Fun"
This series is a light listen , enjoyable, but not masterful. They are romance novels with a bit of magic witchery thrown in. A unique universe and fun listen.
"I love the Sullivan brothers."
It is a hard choice between Jamie, Irvin, and Devon. But I think Jamie still edge's out in front. Jamie and Devon are 2 out of 3 identical triplets. Jamie has been a major player in books one and two, so we are already familiar with his charms, but I was unprepared for Devon to be just as charming. I think this is my favorite book out of the three so far, in part because we get to meet Devon. He's snarky and self-assured, has a great sense of humor, and he feels very real. You know what, I changed my mind, Devon was my favorite!
Extreme, no. It's not really that kind of book. I can always count on this series to make me laugh, and give me a case of the warm fuzzies. The laughs tend to sneak up on you, but they are pretty consistent throughout the book.
This is definitely a character driven novel. There is plot, and climactic action, but a lot of this book revolves around the family and how people in their lives grow, change, or simply interact. It is a light and fluffy story, and in that regard, it serves it's purpose well.
My one complaint is the limitations of the narrator. Overall, she does a great job, there are just a few quirks that bother me. The main one is the voice she uses when a female character is having a vulnerable revelation in an inner monologue moment. It's like she can only express emotional vulnerability one way, and it is this kind of overly emotional wavery voice. It feels inauthentic to me, and she uses the same tone over and over again for those moments.
The less pressing concern that might affect other people's enjoyment is there is a bit of a lack of diversity of the middle-age female characters. If they are older, younger, have a dialect, it's not an issue, but it can be hard to tell the women in their 20s to 40s apart sometimes. I don't think it is necessarily the narrators fault, as there are a bunch of women in that age range and there is only so much difference she can add to a non-accented American woman voice, but it is something to be aware of.
"Awesome Audiobook"
I thought this audiobook was awesome and the reader has the perfect voice for this recording. The audiobook itself was a good book and I really got into the storylines I Highly recommend buying this audiobook.

If you are reading this, chances are you or someone you love is facing a diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's disease as it's more commonly known. First of all I want to assure you that you are not alone. All of the emotions flooding in right now are all appropriate and have been experienced to some degree by each of us affected by ALS.
My name is Patty and I was diagnosed with ALS in late summer 2012 at age 55. But my symptoms began much earlier. I have what is referred to as "limb onset" ALS. My first symptoms, which began slowly starting in late 2009 or early 2010, were stumbling and tripping due to a floppy right foot. The journey toward a diagnosis was long and there were a few wrong turns but in the end, all that was left on the table was ALS.
While we were first searching for answers, we kept telling ourselves it couldn't be ALS because all the cases we remembered hearing about moved very quickly. My case, on the other hand, seemed to be moving very slowly. So it couldn't be, right? As we eventually learned, every ALS case is unique. There are similarities, but the disease affects individuals in different ways.
Over the months that we were zeroing in on a diagnosis, I spent many hours on the Internet searching for information about various neurological disorders. You may have done the same. If so, then you may have discovered as I did that there are good sources of information AND not-so-good sources. I learned one has to be very careful to check information for accuracy by visiting reputable sites and being wary of sites that are trying to sell you something.
Almost everyone knows someone who knows someone who has (or had) ALS. Because of this experience they may consider themselves an expert on the subject. They mean well, I'm sure. But try to remember that each case is unique. Just because your sister's coworker's cousin's neighbor lived only a few months after his diagnosis doesn't mean the same will happen to you.
When my ALS diagnosis was confirmed it felt like a door slammed in my face. Months and months of testing were over. But I didn't like the answer. Grief, anger, hopelessness, and fear were just some of the emotions that washed over me. No one wants to hear that they have an incurable illness. But when you think about it, life itself is 100% fatal, right? I know that sounds a bit macabre but it's true!
Now, here's the good news. As an ALS patient, you have access to resources that are going to help you with daily living. Your caregivers and families also have access to these resources. The problems that you will face have already been encountered by many others and solutions do exist. Never hesitate to ask for help. And of course, there is no such thing as dumb question!
The team at the UC San Diego ALS Clinic has been a tremendous source of support for me and for our family. These regular visits give us an opportunity to share concerns and ask questions. It is very reassuring to us to come to a place that is dedicated just to ALS. The team's experience with so many cases means that they understand completely what we are going through. And they are ready to help.
I highly recommend the ALS Association as a resource. Also, the Muscular Dystrophy Association is very involved in ALS research and support for those affected. Each of these organizations provides support groups which we have found to be our best source of encouragement, friendship, and problem-solving ideas. Some equipment is available through both ALSA and the MDA by way of their lending "closets." Just ask.
And here's something I have learned: having ALS has allowed me to slow down and spend more time visiting one-on-one with friends both old and new. My priorities have changed somewhat in that I realize the value of relationships more than ever before. ALS may limit my activity but it can never take away the love of my family and friends and my relationships with them. My faith also has been strengthened.
Your life has taken an unexpected turn but you are still you. ALS is now part of your life but it does not define you. And as with every challenge that we face, just take this one day at a time.

Hi there fellow Fett-heads! I found a clone trooper helmet at target with voice changer for $29.99. It says it will fit most people (ages 6-adult). Has anyone bought one of these? It looked a little small. Anyone have any measurements on it? I'd like to get some input before I drop $30 on something only to find out it won't fit. I'm not looking for dead-on screen accurate or 501st quality, just a decent bucket that will fit. :)
Thanks for the info everyone!

My basic opposition to posts like this is : Why would someone apply for a blind you never heard of, in a place you have never been, with no knowledge of the area, and then go on a public forum and ask for help?
Call me old fashioned, but before I started putting in for NC draw blinds, I hunted with local guides, did off season exploring, purchased maps, charts, talked to other hunters at landing, etc.
I did not post questions on a public forum asking for advice, I found out stuff myself.
Guess that does make me old fashioned, cause we did not have the internet when I started hunting, we had the "old guy at landing with boat full of ducks net" so cyberscouting never occurs to me, Nuff Said?
Dingbatter 2 wrote:"Maybe I didnt apply for it? Maybe someone who did couldn't go and handed it off to me." If the guy who drew the blind ain't going, no one is going. Check the regs.
My friends and I drive anywhere from 5-7 hours to go on a hunt. It's the nature of the game. We don't have time to scout. We just go and make the best of it. Sometimes we even kill a duck, but we always have a good time. That's why I rarely put in for a GL hunt that is more than an hour from the house. I figure that I probably won't go, and I don't want to boot someone out that really knows the place and is excited about getting drawn. Maybe if some of us would do the same, some of these GL areas would be a lot nicer places to hunt. Every year I see a thread on GL draws, where every Tom, **** and Harriet is putting in for as many hunts as possible, knowing damn well that they probably won't show up at half of their draws. I do put in for Mattamuskeet though, because the government pretty well holds your hand and tells you when to go, where to go, what to do, how many times to shoot, and when you have to stop having fun.

Information For...
Academic Suspension
Spring 2017 Academic Appeal Deadline is
4:00 p.m., Tuesday, January 3, 2017.
NOTE: An academic appeal is not the same as a Financial Aid Appeal. Please click here for financial aid appeal information.
Academic suspension should not be viewed as punishment. It is based on the philosophy that a student may continue to enroll as long as satisfactory progress toward an educational goal is being made. When progress is not satisfactory, the student is given time to reconsider goals and career plans outside the educational setting.
Students who enroll while on academic probation will be suspended from the succeeding term if they fail to achieve at least a 2.00 GPA in college-level courses for that term. Students who are placed on academic suspension at the conclusion of the fall term are not eligible for enrollment the following spring semester and vice versa. However, they may enroll in the summer sessions and attempt to improve their cumulative GPA.
SPC has a process in place for academic appeals. To initiate the process, complete and submit an SPC Academic Appeal Form by the semester deadline. (The academic appeal form is interactive and requires free Adobe Reader. Please wait for the form to load.)
For more information, contact Adela Ochoa at
firstname.lastname@example.com or (806) 716-2571.

Ryan Eastlyn and Braxton Brandenburg never intended to form a band or cut a record, let alone play live shows. In fact, Brandenburg didn't play a musical instrument when the two met six years ago.
But Eastlyn, 39, and Brandenburg, 33, who at times look as if they just stepped out of an old photo, are the Ugly Valley Boys. They perform regularly at Utah watering holes such as Devil's Daughter and The Garage in Salt Lake City, High West Distillery & Saloon in Park City and Owl Bar at Sundance Resort.
The band plays festivals and shows throughout the region, doing covers and original songs from 2011 debut album "Double Down." The musicians even hoofed it up to Wyoming four times to be the après ski band at Grand Targhee Resort's Trap Bar.
"This was never supposed to happen," Eastlyn said recently over cheap beers and a few shots of whiskey and pizza. "This was not something we planned at all."
But a second career of sorts evolved out of a mutual love of music and a desire to create a unique sound.
Brandenburg keeps time on his upright bass while Eastlyn strums an acoustic, pounds a kick drum and hi-hat and barks and growls out soulful lyrics in his signature gravelly voice.
Their recorded songs sound tight and schooled, despite employing only natural-born talents for music that does not have any written notation. Musicians Brad Wheeler and Mike Sasich helped on some songs on "Double Down," recorded at a studio in Salt Lake City.
It all started with Brandenburg's affinity for antiques. About eight years ago he purchased a cheap upright bass, old but not an antique, which he had no intention of playing, at least not right away.
"I didn't know what I was doing," Brandenburg said. "I thought the aesthetics of it was cool."
His only musical experience at the time was being forced to sing in the church choir as a child and then later as an adult admiring the musicians he was promoting with his business.
"I said, 'I have an upright bass,' " Brandenburg recalled telling Eastlyn. "He said, 'Cool. Want to play?' "
So, Eastlyn borrowed the bass, fiddled with it and showed his friend what to do.
"He taught me G, C and A, the basics," Brandenburg said. "And I took over from there."
Eastlyn also had purchased an upright bass, which he later sold to Brandenburg for about $800.
"Braxton picked it up quick," said Eastlyn, who saw talent in Brandenburg. "You never know what you're good at until you try."
It was just for fun in the beginning, continuing to work at their day jobs.
Eastlyn bends glass for neon signs the same way they have at Brimley Brothers Neon for three generations, using an open flame and air from his own lungs as he works out the kinks in each piece of tubing. Brandenburg owns Braxton's Barber Shop & Shaving Parlor and has a long list of clients who appreciate barbering the way it was done 100 years ago, complete with the hot towels, straight-razor shave and antique barber chair.
Eastlyn noodled throughout his youth on guitar and drums, dabbling for a time in a band that never recorded anything. He graduated from the University of Utah with a fine arts degree, but he fell in with David Brimley, married one of Brimley's daughters and began a career in re-creating and restoring old neon signs. Years passed, two children came along, and then Eastlyn met Brandenburg and they started talking music.
Talk turned to action as Brandenburg learned to play along to melodies Eastlyn dreamed up. They played a lot until one day their fist gig came along a friend's birthday party which meant they had to come up with a band name.
"Braxton just said the name out loud and I said, 'That's perfect,' " Eastlyn said. "And it wasn't taken." The name is also a poke at all of the other bands out there with "Valley" and "Boys" in their nomenclature – and there are plenty.
Eastlyn saved money and amassed about 35 original songs before finally deciding to hit the recording studio.
The result was "Double Down."
Sage Guyton, lead singer for The Lucky Stars based in California, said Eastlyn's vocals on the album help "convey emotion and intelligence, without ever sounding pretentious or melodramatic. I'm a big fan of this band, and 'Double Down' is one of the most impressive new CDs I've heard in ages."
Music critic Kyle Coroneos, who goes by "Trigger" on the Web-based Saving Country Music, said in a 2011 review Ugly Valley Boys' songs are "wickedly engaging and smartly crafted" and that they "evoke the lonesome sound of the desert … and the open space of the West."
Comparisons run the gamut, from Mumford & Sons to Johnny Cash, with hints of Bob Dylan to Buddy Holly.
"We try not to re-create anything," Brandenburg said. "I can't think of a band who we'd compare ourselves to."
Laurie Cornia, manager of Sundance's Owl Bar, said people have responded well to the band, its music and look, which she said fits the musical style. Oh, and word has it these boys are not so "ugly" after all.
Cornia recalled one particular gig from a few years back when it had snowed a lot and Eastlyn was the only one able to make it up the steep, socked-in canyon for the show.
"He played alone for 3 1/2 hours without a break," Cornia said. "I've been impressed with him ever since."

This responds to a request for assistance in determining the
disposition of unnegotiated veterans benefits. We have determined
that the amount at issue should be paid to the Estate of [xxx].
[Xxx], the veteran, died on September 25, 1997. He was survived
by one daughter, [xxx], and one son, [xxx]. On October 3, 1997,
[xxx], Esq., received Letters Testamentary as Executor of the
veteran's estate from the Register for the Probate of Wills, [xxx]
County, [xxx].
The Executor of the deceased veteran's estate returned to the
[agency] four unnegotiated checks totaling $[xxx]. The [agency]
payed $[xxx] to the estate as reimbursement for funeral expenses,
and the Executor claims the remaining $[xxx].
Title 38, United States Code (U.S.C.), section 5122, states in
part that a check received by a payee in payment of accrued
benefits shall, if the payee died on or after the last day of the
period covered by the check, be returned to the issuing office and
canceled, unless negotiated by the payee or duly appointed
representative of the payee's estate.
The record shows that [xxx] has been duly appointed to represent
the Estate of [xxx] under the laws of [xxx]. Accordingly, the
decedent's remaining $[xxx] in unpaid veterans benefits should be
paid to [xxx] as Executor of the Estate of [xxx], if otherwise
We are returning the file on this claim for action per our
determination. The Executor of the deceased veteran's estate is

These low-carb biscotti might fit the bill! I have two variations here: basic almond biscotti and chocolate chip biscotti.Although you can use any sugar-free chocolate, I've used ChocoPerfection Bars, which are sweetened with erythritol instead of the more commonly-used (and problematic) maltitol. The almond extract has a distinct almond flavor; for the chocolate chip biscotti, consider reversing the amounts of the vanilla and almond extracts if that would be more to your taste. Another variation is to substitute a quarter cup of unsweetened dried blueberries for the chocolate, which adds about half a gram of carb per cookie. Ingredients 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter at room temperature 3 cups almond meal 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 eggs 2 teaspoons almond extract 1 teaspoon vanilla extract sugar substitute equal to one cup sugar. Note: zero-carb liquid is preferred -- I used 24 drops of a concentrated form of sucralose (see note) For chocolate chip biscotti: 2 ChocoPerfection Bars, or 100 grams of other sugar-free chocolate, chocolate chips, etc. Preparation Preheat oven to 350 F. Cover a 10" X 15" baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and lightly grease with butter or oil.1. Mix butter, almond meal, baking powder, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Beat until fully combined -- it should glom together.2. Add wet ingredients: eggs, extracts, and sugar substitute. Beat until well-combined. The batter will be fairly stiff. (Note: I developed this recipe using the concentrated liquid sucralose. I'm guessing almost any sugar substitute would work. If you are using a powdered type, add it to the almond meal at the beginning, and be sure to add the carbs to the total.)3. Let batter sit for 5 minutes or so; the almond meal will absorb some of the remaining liquid. It should form a soft, but workable dough.Chocolate Chip Variation: If you're making the chocolate chip type, it's a good time to chop the chocolate (if not already in chip form). Either use a sharp knife or a food processor. If using a food processor, pulse carefully -- if you're too aggressive, much of the chocolate will end up pulverized, and won't have the same effect.4. Turn the dough onto the baking sheet and form it into a rectangle about 1/2" - 3/4" high, 5 inches wide, and 14 inches long..5. Bake until very lightly browned on top -- about 22-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn the oven down to 325. Let the cookies cool for 5-10 minutes, then cut into slices about 3/4 inch wide. Lay the slices on their sides, and return to the oven for about 15 minutes, until the sides are lightly browned.You can leave the biscotti long -- in this case, the recipe would make 18 of them, 2 servings each. I cut them in half, and then each one is a serving.Cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container. Nutritional Information for Plain Biscotti: Each of 36 servings has 1 gram effective carbohydrate plus 1 gram fiber (2 grams total carbohydrate), 2 grams protein, and 73 calories.Nutritional Information for Chocolate Chip Biscotti: Each of 36 servings has 1 gram effective carbohydrate plus 2 grams fiber (3 grams total carbohydrate), 2 grams protein, and 84 calories.

The Human Rights Watch (HRW) reports that Eritrea is rapidly becoming a nation in which basic rights of freedom of speech or being able to decide one's life choices are vanishing as the government enforces its power over all aspects of life. Georgette Fagnon, Africa director of HRW, notes: "Eritrea's government is turning the country into a giant prison. It should immediately account for hundreds of 'disappeared' prisoners and open its jails to independent scrutiny." State repression has driven thousands from the land and created a new refugee problem in Africa to go along with other refugee issues. HRW condemned the European Union for giving money to Eritrea because development projects are being built using prisoners and conscripts to do the work.
All secondary students are required to spend their senior year in high school in the armed forces. The mandatory 18 month national service that all adult males and females must perform has been extended so that each individual can be conscripted up to the age of 55. Thee are reports that as thousands flee their parents must either pay a fine or spend time in jail because a child fled the country. Christian leaders also say their religion is being persecuted and many put in jails. To make matters even worse, the Eritrean government is now extending a helping hand to terrorist groups.

For the second consecutive year, the University of St. Thomas garnered the respect of its fellow conference schools and was named the recipient of the 2013-14 Red River Athletic Conference Sportsmanship Award. RRAC athletic directors selected UST based on the way its coaches, players and administration represented the school on and off the field during the most recent academic year.
UST also earned special recognition with additional Sportsmanship Awards for its men's teams and women's teams, making it a clean sweep of all three honors for the Celts this year.
Athletic Director Todd Smith supervises seven sports programs as the top administrator at UST. He said those involved with athletics should enjoy competing, but there's more to a game than that.
"I like to win; it is fun and better than the alternative," Smith said. "However, I am extremely proud of the fact that we have quality coaches, administrators and student athletes who exhibit a high level of sportsmanship on and off the courts, courses and fields.
Smith said it is their goal to represent the University of St. Thomas with the highest of integrity and class.
"We are an extension of this great university," he said. "We are about graduating champions of faith and character."
Our Lady of the Lake University Athletic Director Jack Hank, who is a former St. Thomas vice president for Student Affairs, was one of the RRAC directors who voted and praised the UST program.
"St. Thomas optimizes what the RRAC Sportsmanship Award is all about," Hank said. "Their student-athletes reflect the NAIA Champions of Character program and display those values with their performances on the courts and fields.
"When you play against St. Thomas you are not only assured of good competition but students who understand what sportsmanship means and how they represent themselves and their university, whether it be a win or a loss. Kudos to Todd and his coaching staff."
The RRAC Sportsmanship Award is given annually to the RRAC member institution that displayed the highest level of sportsmanship including teamwork, fair play, respect for the game and conduct in competition. The school's sportsmanship must be apparent across multiple sports, on and off the field and in interaction with fellow member schools.
Smith will be presented with the awards at the RRAC's fall meetings in Dallas.

Researchers are tapping into the first-hand knowledge of survivors of breast cancer through the cancer patient advocate program at Johns Hopkins Physical Sciences-Oncology Center (PS-OC).
"Breast cancer patients can provide valuable insight into the impact of therapies," said Abigail Hielscher, a chemical and biomolecular engineering postdoctoral fellow in the Sharon Gerecht laboratory. Hielscher is helping to organize an effort to locate breast cancer survivors and patients, as well as those who work closely with them such as oncology nurses, to inform the efforts of researchers developing cancer diagnosis and treatments.
In addition to acting as a liaison between the population of breast cancer survivors and patients and the community of Johns Hopkins PS-OC scientists performing breast cancer-related research, patient advocates also are charged with telling the public and funding agencies about the latest breast cancer research being performed in PS-OC labs.
Likewise, researchers must communicate their findings via laboratory demonstrations and brief, non-technical talks to the breast cancer advocates.
"Survivors can facilitate communication between those directly affected by the disease and those working to treat or cure it," Hielscher said. "The advocates, both patients and nurses, allow researchers to better understand and implement the needs of breast cancer patients in terms of new therapies and treatment strategies."
Cancer patient advocates meet periodically with Johns Hopkins PS-OC researchers. Currently, PS-OC patient advocates are Mary Capano, MSN, RN, CBPN-IC and Nancy Cardwell.
If you or someone you know is a breast cancer survivor who would like to learn about the volunteer opportunity as a patient advocate contact Abigail Hielscher at firstname.lastname@example.com or via phone: 402-889-0283.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers

Search on etsy.com, or go to one of the many zine distros online. Parcell Press (www.parcellpress.com) and Learning to Leave a Paper Trail (www.papertraildistro.com) are both good resources.
Ah, utopia...Nice place to visit, but I certainly wouldn't want to live there!!
Anyhoo, here's a zine review I did a few months ago about a fine publication that may be right up your alley. Forgive me for recycling my writing, but I am in dire need of sleep. Enjoy!!
The Super Happy Anarcho Fun Pages!
Most political publications (zines or otherwise) are hilariously self-righteous, yet somehow manage to remain humorless and hopelessly naïve, chock full of rants and screeds that are more like sermons than essays. After all, unless you preach to the choir who's gonna read your stuff, right? Well the Super Anarcho Fun Pages are the exception to that rule, mocking and berating the adherents of every conceivable political viewpoint (including their own) using crude comics as the vehicle. That's not to say that the author isn't serious about his beliefs – he reputedly plays accordion on the street to pay for the copies so he can give these things away for free – it's just he's trying to live life according to his strong sense of self-formulated ethics and has little tolerance for those who embrace political participation as they would a fashion trend. It takes a truly dedicated anarchist to tell the rest of the people who label themselves as such that they're full of shit. To the anonymous author: If I wore a hat it would go off to you, my friend.
Copies of all issues (and much more) can be downloaded from the aforementioned website.

Topic: receive email question
I have some "issue" receiving the emails, and the problem is:
If someone send me the email FIRST time ever, or I sign up on one or another web page out there also FIRST time, it
takes around 15-30 min to receive the email which is configured on the iRedMail...
so I tough it could be a lot of traffic on that web page, and I tried to use my business email and than I received the email
in 1 min... so the problem could be on the iRedMail....
Any idea ?? this is not a first time every time a new email is sent from someone IF it`s a FIRST email ever sent towards
the domain name on the iRedMail server it takes 15-30 min before I receive it...
And if the same email is send second time etc.. than it arrives in a min....
any idea ??
