Purpose: To prevent actual or apparent favoritism, bias, coercion, exploitation, conflicts of interest, and other problems arising from romantic or sexual relationships(a) between Lesley students and Lesley employees and (b) between members of the Lesley University community who are in supervisory relationships.
Scope: Lesley University Community
Policy Statement: Because of the inherent risk of impropriety or harm, Lesley University prohibits romantic or sexual relationships between students and employees (including faculty). This includes relationships that occur when the University is not in session or the employee or student is on leave. Examples include, but are not limited to, relationships between:
1. Faculty and student2. Adjunct faculty and student3. Teaching assistant and student
Lesley also prohibits romantic or sexual relationships between members of the Lesley community when one of those individuals has an advisory, supervisory, or managerial responsibility over the other (collectively, "supervisory relationships," defined below).
Definition of Supervisory Relationship:
For the purpose of this policy, a "supervisory relationship" is defined broadly. "Supervisor" in a supervisory relationship is defined as the individual who has an educational, advisory, or managerial responsibility over the other. Supervisory relationships include, but are not limited to,1. manager and report, direct or indirect 2. faculty member and faculty member3. adviser and advisee4. counselor or health professional and patient5. coach and student athlete6. student resident and individuals who supervise the student living environment7. student and individuals who participate with students on trips and excursions8. contractor and student9. contract employee and student10. vendor and student11. purchaser and vendorThese examples are illustrative and not exclusive. Supervisory relationships may be formal or informal.Pre-Existing Relationships: If an individual with a pre-existing romantic or sexual relationship joins the Lesley community, and one of the people in the relationship is a student, each person must notify his or her Dean or Vice President immediately. The Dean or Vice President, in consultation with the Director of Equal Opportunity and Inclusion/Title IX Coordinator (the "Director"), will take steps the Dean or Vice President and the Director deem necessary or desirable to minimize the impact on the student's educational experience at Lesley. The steps can range from no action, to the recusal of the employee or faculty member from matters involving the student, to changes in the employee's or faculty member's job requirements, teaching, advising, service, or other duties. Failure to comply with this disclosure requirement is a violation of this policy and grounds for appropriate corrective action, up to and including dismissal from employment with the University.New employees with pre-existing relationships with current employees should notify the Director of Human Resources and refer to Section 3.15 of the Employee Handbook.Report an Incident to any one of these Lesley University officers: Ms. Jane JoyceDirector of Human Resources29 Everett StreetCambridge MA 02138617 349-8785Email: firstname.lastname@example.com. Nathaniel MaysDean of Students and Interim Title IX Coordinator29 Everett StreetCambridge MA 02138617 349-8539Email: firstname.lastname@example.com: firstname.lastname@example.com These officers were selected to provide all members of the Lesley community with the opportunity to initiate a complaint in a place in which they feel comfortable doing so. If the complaint is against one of these officers, the complaint may be initiated with one of the other officers. Manager Responsibility:Any manager who receives a complaint or otherwise learns of a relationship prohibited by this policy must immediately contact one of the three University officers listed above. A manager's failure to promptly report a relationship prohibited by this policy may warrant disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal from employment at the University. A manager's failure to report may also lead to personal liability under law.Employee and Student Responsibility:Everyone at Lesley University has the responsibility to assure that romantic or sexual relationships between individuals in unequal positions do not occur in our environment. The potential for actual or apparent favoritism, bias, coercion, exploitation, conflicts of interest, and other problems exist in these kinds of relationships. Furthermore, the relationship may be less consensual and perceived in a different way by each of the parties to it. Moreover, these types of relationships can have a negative impact on other members of the Lesley community.Lesley University expects members of our community to avoid any behavior that could reasonably be interpreted as a violation of this policy and to immediately report any suspected violations.Employees have additional responsibilities. In situations where two employees in a direct reporting line become romantically or sexually involved, both parties are required to disclose their relationship to the Director of Human Resources. One of the individuals will be required to move to a different supervisory line within thirty (30) days of the disclosure. Failure to comply with this disclosure requirement is a violation of this policy and grounds for appropriate corrective action, up to and including dismissal from employment with the University.Reporting a Violation of this Policy:Reports of a violation of this policy should be submitted verbally or in writing and can be made to anyone in a managerial position, e.g. Chair, Deans, Division Director, Department Head, Director, or Vice President, or specifically to one of the University officers listed above. Investigation of Complaints:Lesley University will promptly and fairly investigate all reports of relationships that may violate this policy and will do so in accordance with Lesley University's Discrimination and Harassment Complaint Resolution Procedures.Protection Against Retaliation:Lesley strictly prohibits any form of retaliation against a student or employee who in good faith submits a report of a possible violation of this policy or who cooperates in the investigation of a report.Confidentiality:Reasonable efforts are be made to protect the privacy and confidences of all parties during the investigation without compromising the thoroughness of the investigation or fairness to the parties, and consistent with and subject to the University's need to investigate the complaint and/or implement any corrective action Corrective Action:Every report of a violation of this policy will be investigated and corrective action will be taken where appropriate. Any such action can lead to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal from the University educational programs or dismissal from employment with the University.Duty of Good Faith:Lesley University prohibits any member of the Lesley community from knowingly or recklessly bringing a false complaint against another member of the Lesley community. Lesley University is an equal opportunity, affirmative action educator and employer. The foregoing Unequal Consensual Relationship Policy is designed to enhance access to and understanding of Lesley's policies and is not intended to create a contract between Lesley and its employees or other persons.

Rob Kardashian said he wanted to lose weight following his split from Rita Ora, and he's done it!
In a February episode of "Kourtney & Kim Take Miami," the 26-year-old said, "It's crazy how this whole year, my whole relationship was only negative. All I did was gain f**king 40 pounds and lose so much money."
PHOTOS: Funky Fitness Fads From Hollywood
On Saturday, Rob stepped out looking slimmer at the launch of his new Arthur George by Rob Kardashian sock collection in Las Vegas -- and he says he's not done dropping the pounds.
"I still have to lose like 40 to 50 pounds believe it or not," Rob told Us Weekly. "Six months I should be there."
PHOTOS: The Many Men Of Kim Kardashian
In addition to daily workouts with brother-in-law Lamar Odom's trainer, Rob is also trying to not indulge in the ways of Sin City.
"I'm not really drinking out here in Vegas -- I've been here since Wednesday and I leave Monday -- that's way too long," he told the mag. "But I'm trying to get in a healthy direction."
Kim Kardashian's younger brother previously told People that he's hoping to weigh 200 lbs. by the Fourth of July.

The always incisive and effervescent April Dunford has a great post at her blog Rocket Watcher about the reasons why your start-up needs a website, before you have a product to talk about. I couldn't agree more, for the following reasons:
Posted by Tom Grant on May 27, 2010
[More in a series of posts inspired by the "PM in an on-demand world" research that I've been doing. Here's the link to yesterday's thought du jour.]
During the research interviews about PM and SaaS, I was struck by how philosophical the conversations got. To the interviewees, SaaS was not merely a delivery vehicle, but a fundamental decision about their business. Bringing technology producers and consumers closer together forced many vendors to admit that they had a vague, incomplete idea of who adopts their products and services, why they do it, and how they do it. The subscription model led to many hard questions about how the company makes money. Marketers had to deal with a significantly modified value proposition, while simultaneously knocking down some new potential objections (most notably, security).
But those are just the most obvious consequences. The deeper we got into the research, the more I felt that we were talking about other ripple effects of SaaS, PaaS, and the other aaSes. At least a couple of Big Industry Trends – the kind that Very Serious People spend a great deal of time talking about – owe a great deal to SaaS. Without the success of SaaS, many organizations would not have been as open to embracing other changes. I'll mention just two of them, Agile and social media, among several that we'll discuss in the final report.
Posted by Tom Grant on May 26, 2010
As promised, still more SaaS! Following an excellent day of discussion about PM in an on-demand world, I started over here at the fresh-out-of-the-shrinkwrap Forrester community site. Topic: On demand is a business model choice, not just a delivery mechanism. Discuss.
I'm working on a report about the role of PM in an on demand setting (SaaS, PaaS, and all the other aaSes). As often happens in discussions about PM, the role is a window into many bigger issues. Since their responsibilities span both business and technology, product managers and product marketers find themselves in the middle of many fundamental questions for technology vendors, such as, How often should we deliver something new to our customers?
That question has two sides: (1) how often do customers want to receive something new, and (2) how often can the vendor deliver it. Both questions can be difficult to answer. Customers often want tech vendors to deliver value faster, but they also complain if the changes happen too fast. Vendors know that they could deliver new technology every time they do a build, but they also know that the entire company (sales, marketing, support, etc.) won't be able to keep up at that pace. There must be some golden mean between the pace of technology production and consumption, but what is it?
By shortening the distance between producers and consumers, on demand, and SaaS in particular, has made it easier to reach a meaningful answer. The on-premise model creates a very long value stream between the development team at the beginning of the technology adoption process, and the users at the very end. In fact, adoption is, at best, a blurry image on the distant horizon of the development team's field of vision. Since the success of a development team's work products depend on its adoption, lack of information about adoption is not an information gap, but a yawning chasm.
Posted by Daniel Klein on May 24, 2010
I'm excited to introduce a new way for marketers and product managers to get answers to their most pressing issues and challenges. Forrester has launched an online community for technology marketers and product managers as the premier destination for leaders to exchange ideas, opinions, and real-world solutions with each other. Forrester analysts will also be part of the community, helping facilitate the discussions and sharing their views.
The community is open to all technology marketers and product managers.
Here's what you'll find:
I encourage you to become part of the community:

This just in: a very interesting case study about Sterling Commerce. The company used portfolio management to align its product strategy, and gave a revamped PM organization greater authority over that portfolio. It's another good example of how technology companies are recognizing that product managers and product marketers are a strategic resource in their organizations, and a natural ally of executives who are trying to increase alignment.
A lot of my recent research – about SaaS/PaaS, Agile tools, requirements tools, and innovating with your channel – share a common conclusion: successful technology vendors see integration as more than just a necessary evil. Here's why.
Business problems drive technology adoption
You can see this principle in action in the requirements tools market, which in the last decade has grown larger and more complex. Teams use these tools to address more than one type of requirements-related challenge, so it's easy to see why the tools themselves are now as diverse as as Micro Focus (née Borland) Calibre, Atlassian JIRA, Ravenflow RAVEN, and VersionOne's Ideas Management module. If your problem is, "People don't like using our product," you might look at a visualization tool like iRise to shorten the feedback loop, leading to better design decisions. If, instead, your problem is, "We don't have a good business justification for what we build," you might look at IBM Rational DOORS to evaluate the pros and cons of alternative scenarios for what goes into the next release.
Posted by Tom Grant on May 5, 2010
Tomorrow, May 6, I'll be talking about the way in which product managers and product marketers in the tech industry are helping executives fix misalignments in their company. The technology goes here, the business goes there, and PM is in the thick of it.
This alliance between PM and executive management pushes PM into an increasingly strategic role. As a result, PM teams are changing their job descriptions, departmental structures, to-do lists, and objectives. Some investment is required, but the payoff is big.

In the tech industry, the "tell me a story" approach to product requirements – personas, user stories, use cases, visualizations, etc. – has made a bigger impact than many people may realize. Not only has this new type of content resolved many problems that existed with requirements, but it has led to a brand new way of looking at requirements. By thinking of requirements as stories, it's easier to figure out what kinds of requirements we need, and why we need them.
A tale of two mini-series
The fundamental question when writing any kind of story is, "What are you trying to convey?" I was thinking of exactly that question while I was watching the HBO mini-series The Pacific. I probably wasn't the only person to expect The Pacific to be the same kind of story as Band Of Brothers, just transplanted from the European to the Pacific theater of operations. I was wrong.
As it turns out, the new series has a very different kind of story to tell. Band Of Brothers depicted the experience of combat, in (literally) gory detail. While The Pacific does have more than enough battle scenes, it also tries to show military life beyond the battlefield. For example, one episode focused on the painful romantic choices that young people stationed in faraway lands have to make. Another episode depicted something rarely seen in war movies, the psychiatric casualties of war. Far more than Band Of Brothers, The Pacific shows more of the atrocious things that young men under brutal, terrifying conditions are capable of doing.

PHOENIX (AP) — A woman charged in her lover's 2008 death in Arizona has wrapped up her sixth day of testimony repeating claims of the victim's abusive and controlling behavior.
Jodi Arias faces the death penalty if convicted of first-degree murder in Travis Alexander's killing. She is set to resume testimony Thursday.
Her six days on the witness stand have consisted of repeated references to Alexander beating her, lying to her and being controlling. Jurors have heard sexually explicit phone conversations between Arias and Alexander as Arias describes the victim as a deviant.
Alexander's friends say she is lying.
She claims she killed him in self-defense. Prosecutors say Arias planned a savage murder, stabbing and slashing him 27 times, slitting his throat and shooting him in the head. She initially denied any involvement.

Megan Vogel is entering her fourth season on the sidelines for the Phoenix basketball program. She is responsible for all player development, recruiting, scheduling, scouting and on the court duties.
Last season, Vogel helped lead the Phoenix to its 18th-straight Horizon League regular-season title and the program's 14th Horizon League Tournament title.
Since Vogel joined the staff in 2013-14, Green Bay has amassed a record of 78-20 and a winning percentage of .796. The Phoenix has also made consecutive appearances in the NCAA Tourament and been named to the WBCA All-Academic Top 25.
In her first season, Vogel helped guide the Phoenix to its 16th-consecutive Horizon League regular-season title and WNIT Tournament appearance. She was also a key part in recruiting a Blue Star Basketball Top 50 nationally ranked class in 2014.
Prior to Green Bay, Vogel served as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Division II St. Cloud State for three seasons. In addition to holding the position of recruiting coordinator at St. Cloud State, Vogel also served as the team's head strength and conditioning coach, director of player development, academic coordinator and community service coordinator. During her three seasons with the Huskies, the program achieved a 44-36 record.
Vogel graduated from South Dakota State in May 2007 after starting all 120 of the Jackrabbits' contests during her standout four-year career. She graduated with a degree in Health, Physical Education and Recreation and finished second all-time on the program's scoring list with 1,850 career points. In addition, she notched 194 career 3-point field goals and 783 career rebounds, good for the third- and fifth-best marks in program history. During her time with the program, she was an ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American with a 3.8 cumulative GPA and a top 30 Finalist for the 2007 NCAA Woman of the Year Award.
Following her standout career with the Jackrabbits, Vogel became the first SDSU alum to be selected in the WNBA Draft when she was selected 19th overall in the second round by the Washington Mystics in 2007. She was released during training camp prior to the 2007 campaign, but remained with the team as an intern and practice player for the season while helping with film breakdown and scouting opponents.
She returned to South Dakota State in August 2007 as a graduate assistant coach where she helped lead the program to a 23-7 record. She also completed her master's degree while carrying an impressive 3.9 GPA in Sports Pedagogy with an emphasis in Sports Administration.
In April 2008 Vogel was added to the Minnesota Lynx's training camp roster, but was released prior to the start of the season. In September of the same year, she made her debut for WWK Donau Ries in the German 1st League. She helped the team achieve a 7-7 record while leading the team in scoring at 18 points per game and leading the team and league in rebounds with 12 per game. She also made 88-of-110 free throw attempts, both team and league highs.
Following her professional playing career, she served as a volunteer assistant coach in her hometown at Saint Peter High School in Minnesota. Starting in fall 2009 she helped Minnesota State-Mankato to a 15-13 record as a volunteer assistant coach.

The Public Prosecutor case against the ruling Justice and Development Party(AKP) has drawn considerable attention not merely in Turkey, but throughout the world. It is expected the Turkish Constitutional Court will order a closure of the AKP on grounds it is attempting to subvert the nation's constitution by fostering Muslim values and laws. However, there is scant attention to the efforts of Prime Minister Erdogan and the Public Prosecutor to close down the pro-Kurd Democratic Society Party(DTP). Millions of Turkish Kurds voted for the DTP, but their voices are unheard as the government attempts to forbid the existence of a political party they support. According to Professor Husseyin Hatemi: "People who voted for the DTP in last summer's election wonder why the closure case filed against their party does not have such influence nationwide like the AKP closure case."
A democratic society can not continue the process of closing down political parties because of their "thoughts" or even actions unless there is demonstrable evidence the party is violating existing laws. The DTP has 20 members of parliament but their voices will soon be silenced due to actions of a judiciary.

What is in this article?:
- Action Learning: Key to Developing an Effective Continuous Improvement Culture
- 1. Build A Case for Action:
- 5. Receive Feedback from Coach:
The best methods and the best of intentions can easily fail unless we take into account how adults learn in our organizations. During World War II a process that has become known as Training Within Industry (TWI) and its component Job Instruction (JI) were developed and then adopted by Toyota as it developed its system of production.
For management development Toyota and other Japanese companies added the role of the sensei or coach. These methods are effective because they are consistent with action-learning that recognizes the reality of how adults learn.
Malcolm Knowles, who pioneered the field of adult learning, identified the following principles as critical to adult learning:
- Adults are autonomous and self-directed. They need to be free to direct themselves. Their teachers must actively involve adult participants in the learning process and serve as facilitators for them. They must show participants how the learning experience will help them reach their goals.
- Adults have accumulated a foundation of life experiences and knowledge that may include work-related activities, family responsibilities and previous education. They need to connect learning to this knowledge/experience base.
- Adults are goal-oriented. Instructors must show participants how this class will help them attain their goals.
- Adults are relevancy-oriented. They must see a reason for learning something. Learning has to be applicable to their work or other responsibilities to be of value to them.
- Adults are practical, focusing on the aspects of a lesson most useful to them in their work. They may not be interested in knowledge for its own sake. Instructors must tell participants explicitly how the lesson will be useful to them on the job.
- As do all learners, adults need to be shown respect. Instructors must acknowledge the wealth of experiences that adult participants bring to the classroom. These adults should be treated as equals in experience and knowledge, and allowed to voice their opinions freely.
Another way of saying this is simply to say that adults arent good at sitting at a desk and obediently following instructions and learning theories or abstractions. Learning has to make a difference to them, and they have to put it into action. I think the same could be said for children, but we dont need to argue that point.
Much of my own training is focused on the development of both work and management teams to engage in effective continuous improvement, problem solving, and to become a high-performing teams. What has proven most effective is to apply this action-learning model to team development. The eight steps illustrated here constitute a cycle of learning and continuous improvement. In many ways they correspond to the PDCA cycle of improvement. However, they are a bit more specific to the actions required for effective learning and incorporate the role of sensei or coach.
The steps illustrated in yellow are primarily knowing/gaining knowledge steps. The steps in purple are more experiential and have more impact on how the learner feels. Knowledge and emotions are equally important in gaining sustained change in individual behavior or in the culture of the organization.
Too often our training methods focus more on knowing, and too little on the emotive aspect of learning, which is more likely to occur from experience. Often we assume that if they know, they will do, and this is a false assumption.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Looks like a slide that was either a wet slide or the slab release due to warming temps. We've been getting a lot of that lately. Look at the Shuksan thread in the BC forum for a monster of a release just experienced at Baker.
|Thanks for the feedback on the avy. Its hard to tell from the pic but it looks like a shallow angle.
No different aspect. I dropped in down the North face, which is a bit shadier. The adjacent mountain had slides on the South face. I can only guess that it was one of those wet sludgy slides. It didn't look like a dry slab, at least from where I was standing.
I'm guessing that it looks like there was a small trigger, maybe single point, just along that run of trees and it then flowed down into that gully.
This pic.

I cant help but ask about the other slides you saw, were they on a slope the same aspect as the one you rode and had there been any recent snow, rain or strong winds? Im keen to learn anything I can about slides in japan.
Trip Report: Mt Shiraoi & Mt Tokushunbetsu (Hokkaido, Japan)
Finally getting round to posting the info about my trip last weekend with my good Kiwi buddy.
On Sat morning drove SW out of Sapporo past the Teine range and went to a couple of mountains close to Kimobetsu town. The drive took about 2 hours to get to My Shiraoi (950m). We had beautiful clear blue skies, which is rare for Japan, and perfect conditions for shooting some pics.
The blue skies also meant it was a bit easier for the sun to melt the top of the snowpack, giving us a crusty top about an inch thick wish some softer snow beneath. At least we were lucky for a few patches of powder in the shadier glade sections of the mountain. It was such a beautiful day there were a few other locals out snowshoeing and skinning to the top. Actually I was the only snowboarder.
The climb was a bit steeper at the top, maybe a 50-60° degree incline, all of the skiers turned around here. Had lunch and a tea at the summit before riding down. Actually I was the only one who rode down from the summit, my mate left his skis about 200m vertically down the mountain.
The ride down was awesome. Not powder, but man it was a beautiful day and I could see for miles. The adjacent mountain had had 2 avalanches within the last 48 hours (my estimate) and my mate thinks he heard a whoompf on the way up, so I had to try and remember to ride safely which is kinda tricky when you're having an awesome time.
The mid-section of the mountain sucked a bit as we hit a flat and my mate, on skis, left me for dead. There was a nice little run at the bottom with some steeper terrain and a couple of cool little mushrooms to hit.
In the evening we camped out near the base of Mt Tokushunbetsu (about 1350m).
The weather on Sunday was a bit crappy and overcast, though we got maybe a centimetre of fresh stuff. We decided to the ascent quits at about 1000m because everything above us was super icy, and my mate's leg was a bit shot after he fared off worse than a tree the day before.
The ride down was, again, awesome. Not as steep as Saturday but the glades were really nice, a bit tighter though and I whacked a tree pretty good. More mushrooms and a few logs to ride over too.

|Business Professions Program Gets Undergraduates Thinking about Careers
|The Business Professions Program offers workshops and programs designed to increase students focus on their careers and professional development.
Where do students turn for help in finding their first job after graduation?
To the Business Professions Program, which debuted this fall. It offers workshops and programs "designed to increase students' focus on their careers and professional development," says School of Business Dean Mary Ellen Zuckerman.
In workshops, students learn how to dress for an interview, find alumni contacts, evaluate a job offer, and begin financial planning. At the program's formal dedication October 1, during Fall Splash Weekend, a panel of School of Business alumni discussed career and professional development, sharing with students their own experiences and tips for success.
Donations from the School of Business Advisory Council (BAC) members have underwritten the Business Professions Program.
"There is a very great need to help business students prepare and find opportunities in the job market, now more than ever," says Thad Fortin '81, chair of the Business Advisory Council and chief executive officer of Haas Group International. "It was important for the BAC to take this lead."
The BAC assists the dean on issues of strategic planning, curriculum design, mentoring of students, and internships and externships. Its 14 members include 11 business school graduates.
Bethany Kilgore and Kelly Penwell comprise the Business Professions Program staff. Kilgore, the professional development coordinator, works on campus, runs the workshops, and assists students in preparing for internship and job opportunities. Before coming to Ithaca, she ran a similar program at Xavier University in Cincinnati. Penwell, an alumni and corporate relations coordinator based in New York City, comes to campus to speak with students about their needs and ideas for alumni and employer engagement.
Kilgore and Penwell are focusing on three key needs for students, says Zuckerman:
- Developing skills and confidence.
- Gaining insight on trends within various industries.
- Making personal and professional connections with alumni and employers.
They are working with Business Link, a student-led initiative that fosters student-alumni networking. Business Link members will assist with various presentations, professional development workshops, and events with alumni and employers.
Programs are open to all undergraduate business students. In her first nine weeks, Kilgore said, she talked to 304 students, nearly half of the undergraduates, at workshops and in-class presentations. Nine more workshops were planned this semester, and she's seeking other professionals – on campus and off – to assist with workshops in the spring.
"I measure success as one student at a time," says Fortin. "If we can make a difference in just one student, then the program will be a success. Of course, our goal is to make a difference for a great majority of the students."
Two students who attended the Fall Splash panel discussion agree they learned preparation is paramount for a job interview.
"The best recommendation I took away from the panel discussion was to realize you are never entitled to an interview, you have to want it," says Zachary Klinger '11, a business administration concentrating in marketing and management. "Research the company, figure out where you fit, and know what skills you can offer to better their business. Know your niche before you ask to work.
"This will definitely change my approach by understanding nothing is guaranteed. I have to work hard and do my homework." Oren Bennett '11, a business administration major concentrating in finance, says he learned that listening is important: "If you do not listen first, no one will care what you have to say or want to talk to you again.
"This program has changed how I approached starting my career. Before I interview or work at a company, I want to have questions prepared beforehand that will address any concerns I have. This way, if I start working at a company, I know right away what I will be getting myself into."
Caitlyn Reinecker '11, a business administration concentrating in marketing and management, took away from the alumni panelists the importance of dedication on the job. "You can never work too long or hard, at least when you want to move up in a company. You want to be seen as a dedicated worker and employee. If the company opens at 8 and closes at 5 and another employee is there from 7:30 until 5:30, you should be there before 7:30 and stay until after 5:30. This extra effort and dedication does not go unnoticed; you quickly develop a great reputation and move up.''
At the Fall Splash event, Dean Zuckerman and College President Tom Rochon recognized the Business Advisory Committee members whose support helped create the Business Professions Program. The Business Professions Program rooms were named for Stuart Romanoff '81 of Cushman & Wakefield. The panelists included Romanoff; Jed Laskowitz '94, of J.P. Morgan Chase and Company; and Neil Aaron '88, of McGraw-Hill.

From Sunday... we had more pulling power than we had barefooters, but here's a 5-man attempt.
OK, time to bring this thread full circle...
After mulling it over, this spring we decided to bite the bullet and go with a custom RH roller cam. We freshened up the heads as well, with new Ferrea valves (SS intake, their version of inconel on the exhaust). Cam specs are on the order of .604, both I/E. With our high-ish (cam builder came up with ~10.4:1) compression, he erred on the side of a larger cam, in hopes that the longer duration would keep cylinder pressures down. Something to consider on a marine engine that is always under load, he explained (this guy does solely marine engines). HP is estimated to be in the ~480hp range.
Got it all buttoned back up last week with new custom Manton pushrods, and it we did final assembly this weekend. We still need to play with props a bit (we're not hooking up great with the 3-blade 13x14), but it pulls strong all the way to 5700rpm and just over 62mph on the GPS (best of 62.8mph thus far). It pulls a decent number of guys out of the water pretty strong too- so it will serve its purpose. Feeling pretty good about having it back in the water at this point!
|Never-mind, re-read the whole post,
Yeah, that's what I was thinking but had to check. and my I thought you could change the pump direction. http://www.velvetdrive.com/techinfo/V7172/V7172pg1.pdf
why don't you want to change the direction of your motor? Drivers seat on mine is on the right hand side.. Perhaps not ultimate but I don't think it's really noticeable.
No need to pull the numbers off the Velvet- all of them can be spun in either direction. You just need to index the pump correctly. Yours spins LH because its bolted up to a LH engine. Mine spins RH because its bolted to a RH engine. What it cant do is change the direction of rotation... so the prop rotation (which I am keeping RH) needs to match the engine rotation... thus, the RH engine.
58mph out of a ski boat is serious. HP is only part of the picture though- a fast hull will make up for lack of hp. I know of a 17' wooden inboard produced in the early 60's with a stepped hull that would run in the mid 50's with a stock 210hp y-block.
I have a Velvet drive on mine and it's standard rotation. I could get a number once the snow melts off the cover.
I put a Comp XS268s solid flat tappet in mine because It was laying around, At the same time I bolted a set of L29 Vortec heads on the stock bottom end after rings and bearings, some roller rockers and a performer intake.
I never did like the angle the carb sat at so I bought an angle spacer or tilt shim that Glen L sells, http://www.boatdesigns.com/Tilt-Shim...ctinfo/90-410/
While apart I also wondered how you could get the oil to the dipstick full line without the crank running in oil all the time, after confirming it wasn't possible I built a larger sump , kicked out and level with the bottom of the boat.
All I can say is WOW and no issues getting to 58 mph... My Eliminator might be a little lighter than your boat but not by much. It's amazing.. Love it! and not as nice an engine as yours.
Ok man I see what ur saying,the BW is what we call a Coaxial transmission rather than a drop down where the output is below the centerline of the crank by about 4 inches or so.
The damper you have in your BW trans,we call that a torsional coupling,on bigger transmissions it is either rubber or silicone.
But you probly dont need all this info,anyway good luck with your boat.
Its a nice one!
Most people dont realize just how much horsepower it takes to push a boat to 50MPH a 72 footer with a pair of 2000 series MTU engines is about 45 MPH at WOT at about 160 gallons an hour total fuel consumption.
ZF Marine bought my company out in 2000 n im long gone from there.
I still however work on go fast boats with big Diesels.
Regards Al
You can switch the direction of rotation on the velvet drives by indexing the pump. But you cant spin them full power in reverse. EI, the rotation of the engine (in fwd) has to match the direction of rotation of the prop. To turn a RH prop (required for proper performance with this hull), you need to turn a RH engine (with a BW), or find a trans that switches the direction of rotation (like a ZF Hurth or a PCM 1.23:1), allowing you to use a LH (standard rotation) motor.
Im not familar with your terminology (spring torsional coupling, centa, vulkan), but the transmission mates to the engine with a spring loaded damper plate, which we replaced with new last year. We do not use any dampers between the output coupling of the transmission and the driveshaft- these are not required on boats this size. When used in this application, its oftentimes a bandaid to cure the symptoms of a bad engine/trans damper or misaligned powertrain.
Ok well the 72c is a good trans. I see your point,you would defenetly have to shorten the shaft
Ive seen them behind 6V53 Detroits n they hold up.
Ok on sticking with what youve got,have you checked to see if you can change the BWs input rotation by just moving the thrust washers from front to rear or vice-versa,I know on big trans thats what we do.
Just for curiosity.Do u run the the spring torsional coupling on the 72C or a centa or vulkan?
|This guy knows 50 MPH on water is fast!!
Thanks for the response.
Im familiar with ZF's being able to turn both ways under full power. For a future project, I may consider building a LH engine in front of such a tranny.
For this one, the motor is done, with all of the RH components already in place (save for the cam). They arent necessarily hard to find (if you know where to look), and with the exception of the cam, no more expensive. Ive heard good things about the ZF, but the BW 72c is tried and true, especially in front of a big block.
To swap the rotation of this engine, Id be looking at a new timing set, starter, rear main seal, and transmission. Im also unsure of the ZF's length- we may need to pull our shaft and adjust the length too, if we swapped out the BW. All those items would cost well beyond the ~$500 premium for the RH roller cam (as compared to a regular LH roller)... not to mention, a lot more work. I think we'll stick with a righty for this project.
Just gotta make a decision on the cam!
Hey, I dont work on small boats,only big Diesels Vikings,Bertrams etc.
Why dont you go to SAE rotation n get rid of the Borg Warner n put a ZF trans in there you can run RH input rotation into these,of course the prop would have to be changed but I think most of ur problems trying to find parts will go away then.
Call ZF n find out if a trans is available for your app.
Im almost sure it is.
All modern twin engine boats have SAE rotation on both port n stb engines
the port trans is just put into rev to go fwd,but the input into the trans is the same.
Call ZF n Im sure they will help
If u want send me a private message n I can tell u who to talk to
Back from the dead!
It occurred to me that I never brought this thread full circle. Not that the story is *quite* complete yet, but I can at least bring it current...
We didnt finish the boat in time to get it in the water in 2010. The structural work took longer than expected, as did the final rigging of the engine, running gear, and other misc projects that we tackled "while we were in there".
So the motor sat largely finished until late spring, 2011- it looked like this:
We broke it in properly- used a generous amount of EOS (poured right into the valley), 30w Valvoline VR1, primed the oil pump, used only the outer valve springs, etc. Varied the RPM a little +/- 2500rpm for 25 min, then shut it down and changed the oil.
After reinstalling the valvesprings and rockers, we dropped it in the lake for the first time in 2 years. It ran great! The caveat: after 2 laps around the lake, we found water in the oil. Traced it back to the shiny aluminum exhaust manifolds (which I had bought used on good faith). We stuck the old cast iron manifolds back on, changed the oil several times until it looked clear (we started out with Mobil1 15w50 and ended up with VR1 20w50)... and all seemed well for a few weeks- the stock manifolds seemed to rob 200-300 RPM from the top end, but it otherwise performed great. I took it out to an annual owner's reunion where it came up just short of the "fastest boat" award (58.4 mph). Not bad!
Our glory was short lived, however... in a bonehead move, I overheated the engine after picking up some weeds and hydrolocked it. So I went home with my tail between my legs. Did a little bit of investigating over the next few weeks. Water kept finding its way into the cylinders after sitting for a while. Did a compression check and it came back fine. Pulled the intake, the valley looked clean (no trace of water). We are pretty confident in our diagnosis... the overheat cracked the stock exhaust manifolds. Tore the heads off too, just to be safe- and all looked fine. So we ordered new manifolds and started to reassemble everything... and just as we were about to close it up, I discovered this on cyl #7:
Upon closer inspection, the cam was beat up too. Dammit!
So that put an early end to our summer, major bummer.
So now the question is, what to put back in? Comp is now out of reverse rotation blanks- but we have 2 spares that we ordered 2 years ago. So we could go back with another flat tappet. Or... we're considering going roller. This isnt an inexpensive proposition, but we found someone who has invested in a small run of reverse rotation billet blanks, that can be used with our existing gear/gear timing set. We'd be looking at $750 for the cam, plus $525 for the lifters (the cam builder only uses Morel's "race" version), plus another $200 for new valve springs. So ~$1500 for the upgrade.
Its a big dollar upgrade on a project that is already overbudget by a long shot... but I REALLY dont want to tear this motor out again anytime soon. I suspect I know what the answer will be, but any input or advice would be appreciated!
No response necessary, I suppose- I confirmed that its a 4-bolt. Still getting my eyes calibrated on the BBC... first time tearing into the bottom end of a motor as well.
Question about valvetrain... Ive read a few threads on here that suggest the stock stamped rockers arent the best to use with aggressive cams. I dont think my XM278H (.555/.565) would be considered all that aggressive compared to some of the builds Ive seen here, but Im not sure exactly what the limitations are of the stock rockers. Should I be ok to run them? Im toying with the idea of upgrading to full rollers (I doubt I would bother at all with roller tips)... probably go with Crane or Scorpion. Anything else I should be aware of before pulling the trigger on a set? I'd be sticking with the stock 1.7 ratio. I figure a new set of taller valve covers will be in order as well.
Thanks in advance!
Ok, its been a month... quick update here.
I pulled the cam and sent it to Comp. The tech wanted to confirm the exact cam we had before he custom ground a new one. Turns out the blanks lined up perfectly... so the XM278H should be on its way soon. I also convinced him to sell me a RR blank, as there seem to be very few left. Should cover me for any future plans.
While it was there, I had them measure up my stock cam so I could do a delta on the desktop dyno. Looks like the experts here were right- the thing was tiny! .459/.478, 213/216, 112 LSA. Desktop dyno shows 368hp @ 4500 RPM... which would explain why we didnt go faster with a smaller prop (5200 vs. 4900 RPM). If the software is accurate, we'll lose 10-15hp below 3000 RPM (easily offset with the weight loss) and almost 90hp at the peak. The biggest delta will be at high RPM's- we're looking at picking up around 200hp at 5000 RPM's... yikes! It will be VERY interesting to see how the boat performs in a few months! Heres the preview:
We also pulled the pan to check out the bottom end... havent measured the clearances yet, but at a glance, I believe this may be a 4-bolt block. Am I correct?

In this episode I speak to Julian Davies, professor emeritus in the Department of Microbiology & Immunology at the University of British Columbia.
Dr. Davies is one of the world's experts on antibiotics. I talked to Davies about how the discovery of antibiotics changed the course of modern medicine, and how we now face a growing threat from the evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. We also talked about some enduring mysteries about antibiotics.
Most of us think of antibiotics as a way to kill microbes. But the fact is that microbes make antibiotics naturally, and for them, these molecules may not be lethal weapons. They may actually be a way to talk to other microbes.

from DU online:
August 2006: Duck Egg Rolls
As seen on DU-TV
Serves 4 (as appetizers)
Egg Rolls
1 ½ c. boneless and skinless duck breast, sliced thinly across the grain
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. fresh ginger, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 Tbsp. peanut oil
1/4 c. dried apricots, thinly sliced
1 1/2 c. green or napa cabbage, shredded
8 egg roll wrappers
1 Tbsp. cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water
Oil for frying
Dipping Sauce
1/4 c. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. hoisin sauce (Asian section of your grocery store…it's there, really)
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. rice vinegar or white wine vinegar
Combine sliced duck with next three ingredients and marinate for 30 minutes. Drain ducks. Stir-fry duck in hot peanut oil for 45 to 60 seconds over high heat in a wok or skillet. Transfer to paper towels to cool. For each egg roll, lay the wrapper on a flat surface. Place about 2-3 Tbsp. of the cabbage on the lower third of the wrapper forming an area of about 1" tall by 3" wide. Arrange apricots and cooked duck on top of cabbage. Turn in sides of wrapper to just overlap stuffing. Begin rolling egg roll by starting at the edge nearest you and rolling away from you, like a burrito. When you get to the edge, moisten it with a little of the cornstarch mixture to help it seal. Place egg roll in hot oil, enough to submerse it and fry until golden brown and crispy. Drain fried rolls on paper towels.
Combine sauce ingredients and serve with fried egg rolls.

The Super Blackhawk has been my favored sixgun since about 1972. I currently own five, two of which are pre-1973 Old Models. Also three .45 Blackhawks set up like Super Blackhawks.
In my experience, the .44 Magnum is one of the most versatile rounds around, and the Super Blackhawk THE BEST package for the round.
With my handloads, it is flat shooting out beyond 200 yards, and retains enough velocity to be effective at this range. You can shoot it all day without tiring, and its package is small enough to really be carried in a holster and jerked out for quick in-your-face type of shots.
It can take any game found on this continent, at reasonable ranges, and is probably one of the most inherently accurate rounds I've ever used.
And, unlike the bigger five shot custom jobs, recoil is mild enough to allow quick follow up shots, if needed. The .45 Colt, in a Ruger, will shoot through a buffalo, but the .44 Magnum remains one of the best all-round cartridges available today.

Paul Gauguin
Busagny Farm, Osny
Paul Gauguin
French, 1848-1903
Busagny Farm, Osny, 1883
Oil on canvas
64.8 x 54.6 cm (25 1/2 x 21 1/2 inches)
Helen M. Danforth Acquisition Fund in honor of Houghton P. Metcalf, Jr. 1999.3
In early summer of 1883, Paul Gauguin joined Camille Pissarro to paint in the farming village of Osny. While emulating Pissarro's small, dense strokes Gauguin seems to challenge his mentor's orderliness and balance. He experiments with patches of disorganized marks whose colors begin to veer from nature's traditional harmonies. The heightened greens, reds, and purples in the foreground of this painting suggest his growing rejection of accepted, realist "truths." Anticipating a new style in which compositions were no longer dependent on framing nature, he also skews the motif of the farm, making it uncomfortably featureless and off-balance.

Arsène Wenger admits he is resigned to players returning from international duty carrying knocks.
Both Theo Walcott and Laurent Koscielny picked up injuries while away with their respective countries in the past week and have been ruled out of Saturday's Premier League trip to Norwich.
And Wenger believes losing players for domestic action is a consequence of having so many internationals at the Club.
"That's a price to pay for the fact that you have many international players," he said. "We had two players here. Everybody else was away. Statistically, you will lose one or two during these international breaks.
"This time we lost Koscielny [and] Walcott. Everybody else came back [without injury]. This is the period where you start to have injuries."
Walcott was the victim of a strong challenge from San Marino goalkeeper Aldo Simoncini during England's 5-0 win at Wembley last Friday - and Wenger admits he was worried at the time.
"It was scary. Theo said he felt like a lorry had hit him," he said.
"The most dangerous [thing] when you are a football player is to play against players of a lower level, because that's where you feel in most trouble. If they hit you, they don't do it on purpose - but they are the most dangerous. Sometimes, when you go down a level, that's what you face."

Charges have been filed against a former NASCAR driver and a woman who led police on a high-speed chase through Nevada, Arizona and Utah on Wednesday.
Tyler Walker, 33, was charged Thursday in state court in St. George, Utah, with three felony counts: failure to stop for police and two counts of possession of a controlled substance. Each count carries up to five years in prison.
Walker, who was suspended from the racing organization in 2007 for violating its substance abuse policy, and Raelle Hann McDonald, 29, were arrested after he drove a 2007 BMW 750 Li sedan over tire spike strips laid by Utah Highway Patrol troopers. The chase, which reached estimated speeds of 140 miles per hour, began about 7:30 a.m. in Nevada, where state troopers failed to pull the car over for speeding.
According a probable cause statement filed in 5th District Court, a UHP trooper wrote that when Walker's vehicle passed the Utah state line, two Arizona Highway Patrol vehicles and two Nevada Highway Patrol troopers were trailing the BMW.
Two miles inside Utah on Interstate 15, UHP troopers spread the spike strips in front of the BMW and punctured all its tires.
Walker drove the car another 1 1/2 miles before stopping, according to the probable cause statement. However, when the UHP trooper attempted to approach the BMW, Walker allegedly sped off again, reaching over 80 miles per hour on flat tires.
After several miles, the BMW's rear tire blew, the UHP trooper wrote. Walker then came to a stop, but not before attempting to pull onto an exit ramp.
According to UHP, Walker attempted to flee on foot before being apprehended.
A subsequent search of the BMW allegedly turned up methamphetamine, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia. An open bottle of vodka was allegedly found on the front passenger floor board, according to UHP.
Besides the felonies, Walker is charged with misdemeanor counts of possession of a controlled substance, DUI, possession of drug paraphernalia, unlawful transportation of alcohol and open container in a vehicle. Walker was released from the Washington County, Utah, jail Wednesday after he posted $18,020 bail. His first court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday in St. George.
Walker's passenger, Raelle Hann McDonald, was also charged Thursday with two felony and one misdemeanor counts of possession of a controlled substance, along with possession of drug paraphernalia and open container.
Walker competed in 28 races during his NASCAR career, including the Nationwide Series and Camping World Truck Series. His one top-10 finish came in 2007.
Last July, Walker was suspended from a race at Williams Grove Speedway in Pennsylvania following an obscenity-laced tirade toward race officials in pit row. It eventually escalated into a fight in Walker's pit.

National Carrier now flies 26 times weekly into the Thai resort city
Subang, 31 May 2013: Malaysia Airlines is increasing its weekly frequency from Kuala Lumpur into Phuket to 26 times weekly with the introduction of one new daily service. This service will begin on 1 June 2013.
In conjunction with the introduction of this new frequency, Malaysia Airlines is offering all-in return economy class promotional fares of only RM222 for travel from Kuala Lumpur to Phuket. Booking for these fares are from now till 10th June 2013, valid for travel from 1 June 2013 - 31 July 2013. This promotional fare is valid on MH798, MH799 and MH794 only.
The additional service, MH798 will depart daily from Kuala Lumpur at 4.55am and arrive Phuket at 5.10am while the return flight MH799 will depart Phuket at 6.15am and arrive Kuala Lumpur at 8.45am. This addition was incorporated following greater demand from the market.
Meanwhile, the existing MH794 depart from Kuala Lumpur at 1.05pm and arrive Phuket at 1.20pm.
A two-class configured Boeing 737-800 aircraft with 144 economy class seats and 16 business class seats will be used for this service.
Malaysia Airlines Senior Regional Vice President, Malaysia, Muzammil Mohamad said, "Phuket is a great tourist attraction and it is one of the few places where there is always something to do, rain or shine.

Six months ago after developing a rash and a fever which doctors initially thought was Dengue Fever, a virus transmitted by mosquitoes, I was rushed into hospital and after a week of being tested for over a hundred different viruses, I was diagnosed with a very rare auto immune illness (affecting just five in a million people) where my body is attacking it's own muscles.
Since then I've either been lying in a hospital bed, barely able to raise my head from the pillow, or at home too weak from muscle loss and doped out on drugs to be able to let you know why I haven't written a newsletter since early December.
Thanks to some powerful new medication which I have to take just once a week (though I take plenty of other drugs the rest of the week) I've finally got the energy to write about it.
(The new drug is used to treat childhood leukemia, to delay HIV turning into AIDS, and to cause pregnant women to abort… so you can imagine how strong it is. It almost knocks me out for two days a week).
For many months now I've not answered emails, tweeted, logged into Facebook, updated my web sites, written a newsletter or indeed done any work at all.
I've not been able to.
Part of me wants to keep quiet about this. There's a little voice in my head saying "do what many other Internet marketers would with their lists, or on their blogs, and just make an offer and rake in some cash and don't explain my long absence."
Or perhaps pretend that I've been secretly working on some top secret project that's pulling in hundreds of thousands of dollars a month, and I'm about to reveal all next week when all you have to do is buy whatever I'm selling at an inflated price and you'll be driving around in the sports car of your choice by next month. But that's just not the way I operate and I can't do it.
None of this makes writing about my illness any easier. It's something I'm finding hard to talk, or write, about. And my head is rather muddled from the drugs, which doesn't help. So if some of this doesn't make sense, or is disjointed, forgive me.
The truth is that it's been going on a lot longer than six months.
I've been asleep for most of the past year.
Really, really asleep. For like 16 or 17 hours a day, or just lying in bed too exhausted to move and this Internet marketing stuff has all seemed just so unimportant.
The symptoms started over a year ago, a few days after I flew back home to Australia from Rob Puddy's UK seminar, when I fainted at a rock concert. As far as I know, I'd never fainted in my life until that night, but I put it down to a combination of jetlag and standing too close to my old internet marketing mate Matt Garrett in the bar at Puddy's seminar (that's a joke Matt 🙂 )
September I fainted again while out shopping, and seeing I still felt like I had jetlag and was tired all the time I went to see a doctor for the first time in about 5 years – but an examination and a whole range of blood tests found nothing wrong.
Before long I was sleeping most of the day, and the rest of the time just too exhausted to do anything. This time the doctor (a different one) diagnosed depression, even though I insisted I'd got nothing to be depressed about, and prescribed pills which made me even sleepier and made my thinking even cloudier.
Things continued to get worse. Just before Christmas I fell over in a bar in Melbourne and badly hurt my neck (and no, I hadn't been drinking… my legs just turned to jelly).
Back home after the Christmas holidays doctors visits became a regular thing, but examinations and tests couldn't find anything wrong with me, and I started to believe that perhaps I was depressed after all and that my thinking/thoughts were affecting my physical health too.
Then January, or February, or whenever it was, the rash and a high fever appeared and my life hasn't been the same since.
After being tested for just about every virus known, including all the horrible deadly ones (and in my imagination I'd somehow developed all of them but they weren't showing up in the blood tests) it was a relief to be visited by a team of doctors and told that they'd moved on from viruses and the blood tests, and a blood culture from blood taken from me when my temperature was over 40, had finally revealed that I'd developed something called Polymyositis. They all seemed quite excited by this because of its rarity and non of them had ever seen a patient with it before.
Polymyositis? It didn't sound too bad. Quite a poetic sing-song word.
So at first I was relieved. Not a deadly virus after all (the family vet died horribly last year after a bat transmitted a virus to a horse and he got splashed with blood from the dying horse). But the relief only lasted until I got one of the doctors to do some research and print it out for me.
Muscle wasting? My body eating it's own muscles? My heart's a muscle. My lungs are powered by muscles. Would I suddenly stop being able to breath? Would my heart give out first? Would I become incontinent? Would I be able to eat? To talk?
Non of these questions were properly answered, but the medical team did take me off the anti depressants straightaway, which was something to be thankful for.
Within an hour though they were pumping me with a powerful cocktail of other drugs designed to dampen my immune system, and I jumped from a couple of anti depressant pills a day to over twenty other pills.
Then just over a week later they found they'd got it wrong. I didn't have Polymyositis after all. The results of a really painful muscle biopsy in my thigh revealed it was the even rarer Dermatomyositis.
(if you want you can read more about Dermatomyositis here, or on the US Gov Medline Plus site, or at the Mayo Clinic which is probably the best place to be treated for it.
So I've got something that just five in a million people get, most of them women. And it seems it's increasing in frequency among black American women. So not quite sure what that says about my genetic makeup 🙂
Talking of genetics, the diagnosis actually gave my daughter Kate a moments laughter. She was born with Phenylketonuria, a genetic disorder affecting 1 in 16,000
"Well at last I'm not the freak of the family anymore," she joked.
But then really worried about me, she started crying.
Fortunately Dermatomyositis is not as nasty as something like motor neurone disease, where most sufferers die within a few years, but there is no cure for Dermatomyositis and my lifespan is likely to be significantly shortened (insurance company studies suggest they should charge premiums for someone 12.8 years older because of the risk factor).
And here's the big worry – a significant proportion of people who get Dermatomyositis are found to have an internal cancer – though full body CT scans and other tests showed I'm in the clear which is a relief.
However lots of stuff I've read says I've got a highly increased chance of getting it in the next couple of years – which is not a nice thought.
The other bad news is that I've got to stay out of the sun. Very hard to do when I live in sub-tropical Queensland, one of the sunniest places on earth.
Oh, one more thing before I stop this free flow rambling writing. I'm banned from traveling overseas for the foreseeable future (usually I spend at least a couple of months in Europe every year, photographing and writing content for my travel sites and attending Internet marketing conferences and workshops).
"What about travel?" I asked the medical team?
"Go where you want, if you're well enough and not in a wheelchair" said the one in charge "just make sure you're back here three times a week."
I thought he was joking, but he wasn't.

Currently downloading the beta Online coop with 4 players
Nice to see there is some progress for this game, I've had my eye on it for a while though I don't actively keep up with it.
Ok, I was very skeptical at first but after trying the demo I actually like it a lot. Especially the Arcade mode.
EDIT: It has a controller support. Now I like it even more.

The developers are great. I was watching the game for a long time. They posted WEEKLY updates on their blog! What other developer was ever this communicative?
short gameplay video ive made
Bosses are no joke. The first "real" boss fight is pretty good.
Huh, this is kind of fun so far. I admit I didn't expect much but so far the demo has been entertaining. Is there any plans for stuff at endgame? This game seems like it would end up falling into the same trap as Diablo eventually, grind for loot to kill mobs to grind for loot to kill mobs to...etc.
Liking this so far too bad the demo ends so soon so pre ordering this next week ^^
There's a demo ?
Yeah here http://www.secretsofgrindea.com/index.php/pre-order
The demo ends when you beat the slime boss at the collector test.

ive beat him and im at the pumpkin fields trying to help a witch to make a candy potion to dispell the illusion field that makes me loop the maps , cant leave the area until i finish that quest >.< .
now why cant this be a mmorpg. id play the shit out of it
my favorite videogame death :P
grindea = grind area?
The story mode is really bare bones right now, if even that. I like how pets work and the Arena has good potential. But so far Arcade mode is really the "big cheese" right now.
Why why can't this be an mmo o:
Apparently on their forums they said they have an arena but will not focus on balancing for pvp at all
Bought it because I've always been interested in the concept, but I'm kinda expecting it to just flop, as a lot of these early access things do.
Is it worth the fifteen bucks with the state it's in at the moment? I'm dubious about putting more money into more early games ._.
I'd say it's an amazing game, if you'd pay 15 bucks for a Secret of Mana game then you might as well get this. I'll get it for sure. :-)
Not sure about the "area" part, I thought the idea was more "Let's combine Secret of Mana with MMORPG grind for prolonged Secret of Mana enjoyment".grindea = grind area?
3-4 hours and I finally got to Pumpkin Forest in Arcade Mode.
EDIT: If it's what I think it is with Arcade mode and gradual development of things then kudos to developers with the idea because it's really neat.

Anyone know of any sites with servers listed ? Like Starbound and Terraria .
Dear god, the Mirror Maze in the floating castle has me bent over a barrel! ; . ;
It's easy. What created the confusion, at least for me, was the fact that they didn't mention that you have to land back on the arrow pads. You can't exit your "phase form" anyhwere else but the arrow pads. So in order to get to the chest you have to align things in a way that the last bounce is aimed towards the arrow pad.

Patch 0.56h
Summary: You know how I said the Stable release wouldn't be updated for a while? Well, I lied! This patch contains mostly bug fixes that hopefully won't introduce new bugs. If it does, I'll rollback the stable version to 0.56g again. Some more promised bug fixes, that are less critical, will come in a patch later today or tomorrow (this patch will target Frontline though).
The server will now attempt to retrieve and display its external IP while in the lobby
The chat box is no longer offensive when someone tries to connect to a dead host
Bug Fixes
- Changing style at the stylist while in 4 player co-op no longer crashes the server
- Frosty Friend now remains knocked down if you phase shift or jump, allowing you to revive him
- You should no longer run into unclearable rooms in Arcade Mode (with enemies missing)
- Players now revive properly after defeating the boss of the first temple
- Actions such as fishing and using phase plates as a client with gamepad no longer causes the server to think they're shielding
- Smashing a Guardian that's firing its laser with the smash skill should no longer crash the game
- Lag can no longer cause the host to miss getting the wooden sword in Startington
- Berserker spell instances now gets destroyed properly upon disconnect (this prevents crash upon reconnect)
- Butterflies from the Butterfly trinket no longer stay up after their owner disconnects (this prevents crash upon reconnect)
- The alchemist has gotten an HP buff of 500 % to catch up with the changes to damage
- You can no longer run behind the guard in the Arena waiting room
Probably going to pre-order the Snowbacca tier next month or so.
Only plays Magic DPS Classes, Healers and Machinist/Engineers.
Playing MMO: FFXIV (Balmung)
Waiting On: FFXV, KH3, Tree of Savior, RE:FFVII · Saving For: New Computer

Groups call on investors to divest from Monsanto
GRN Reports:
Forget corn fields, a coalition of anti-GMO groups plans to hit Monsanto where it will really hurt, in its wallet.
This Friday, members of The Institute for Responsible Technology, Food Democracy Now!, Natural News, Organic Consumers Association, Cornucopia, Green America, GMO Inside, Millions Against Monsanto, Babes Against Biotech, Food Babe, Hawaii GMO Justice Coalition, GMO Free USA, and March Against Monsanto, will be asking individuals and big institutional investors to divest from Monsanto.
The investment groups with portfolios containing Monsanto stock include Vanguard, State Street and Fidelity, which alone holds more than $3 billion in Monsanto stock. The protests, organized in several cities, will target Fidelity offices, asking the financial firm to move the money it manages for small and large investors out of Monsanto.
The coalition, Divest Monsanto Now!, opposes the St. Louis-based chemical giant — along with a lot of other people who've told pollsters that Monsanto is the corporation they hate the most — because it has genetically modified many foods, which they believe are not as healthy as naturally bred and raised crops.
Monsanto's GM foods also threaten organic farm production by overtaking seed stocks, and have led to the increased use of pesticides such as Monsanto's RoundUp, among others, that are compromising farm soils and contaminating rivers, according to the IRT, OCA and others participating in the protest.
Groups organized the protest after a Democracy Now! investigation found that Monsanto is sustained largely by the money from large investment firms, such as Fidelity.
The coalition is urging Americans to check their portfolios and cleanse them of any Monsanto investments. In a letter to supporters, the groups note that "millions of Americans invest their hard earned money" with the targeted investment houses.
Monsanto, they warn, "could be hiding in your 401K or pension fund as well ."
The planned Divest Monsanto Now! actions include these:
1. National Day of Action Page:
2. Boston:
Fidelity Investments, 245 Summer St, Boston, MA 02210-1116
3. New York City:
Fidelity Investments, Fidelity Investments, 350 Park Ave, NY, NY 10022
4. Philadelphia:
Philadelphia Stock Exchange, 1900 Market St Lbby I, Philadelphia, PA 19103
5. Washington DC:
Fidelity Investments, 1900 K St NW, Washington, DC 20006
6. Chicago:
Fidelity Investments, 401 N Michigan Ave #100, Chicago, IL
7. San Francisco:
Fidelity Investments, 8 Montgomery St. San Fran, CA 94104
8. Los Angeles:
Fidelity Investments, 1200 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90403
If you'd like to "divest" by eating non-GMO foods, the group suggests you can find them at the the www.NonGMOShoppingGuide.com.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
proximity to beach nice cove. Lots to rent at dive shop boat, kayaks, snorkel gear, etc. Staff except for pool bar staff were very friendly. Food is lousy. Bar service at pool terrible waited 26 minutes for a drink at 2PM. Outdated...grounds dirty. outdoor seating DIRTY. Gave me wrong room key, walked in on another couple embarrassing. caves littered with garbage, towels, napkins, straws, empty beer bottles. Rooms outdated.
The staff was very friendly My room was horrible. It didn't seem clean, needed painting, the shower was awful, water got all over
We loved the scenic aspect, beautiful views. I absolutely loved being able to come out and sit in the lawn chairs and see Bermuda. We really liked how central it was to everything. We also loved the caves and plan to come back when it's warmer so we can swim in them! Wish we were told more about the all inclusive aspect of the resort. Had no idea until our last day there when we saw a sign telling us about it. Financially, it's not smart to stay there unless you are apart of the all inclusive package.
Less than 5 minutes from the airport. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Room large, clean and comfortable with an excellent view of the bay. Food in restaurants were good. Not great but good enough. Bus stop a short walk down the drive. Scooter rental just outside the grounds. Bus passes gained access to all buses and ferries which will get one to any part of the islands easily. Bathroom was small. Grounds were well removed from Hamilton, the Dockyards and elsewhere. One needed to take 20 minute bus ride or the more expensive taxi to get anywhere.
Hi quality/ friendly/ green/ short taxi ride from airport/ beuatiful
Food was good. Wish they had more Caribbean food. Menus are more Americanized This time of year the high is like 68-70 so it got very cold some days and jacuzzi wasn't working
the location, the littke jakussi, so quiet, the way it is all situated, the view from the room
We enjoyed the beautiful view and the waterfront location. Also, we were able to walk to the Crystal Caves, The Swizzle Inn and Baileys Ice Cream. Bus stop at entrance enabled us to traverse Bermuda with ease by bus and ferry. We did not take the all inclusive food plan because we were out all day and wanted to try different dining experiences. That worked out well.
The room was confrontable and the staff were so nice. The quality of the food was mediocre for the price I paid.
The staff were friendly and eager to see we enjoyed ourselves. The hotel beach on the bay is convenient, nice, and uncrowded. We used the bus pass to explore the island, and found people very helpful, and interested in providing a great tourist experience. The island people clearly want to earn our tourist business. Give them a try, they earned it.
The pool was enjoyable as were the natural cave attractions Food was mediocre, no room service, long walk from room to other ammenities, room was outdated, advertised free wifi but it never worked, no ice near room
Everything. Staff, rooms, beach, location, price and view Beach bar closes too early.
Location is perfect. New pool awesome The first room I was given was looking out at employee parking lot when my itinerary stated room was next to new pool seems to always happen when you book through travel sites
Marcus restaurant, Pool. Small rooms. Expensive for what they offer. Not great service. Ran out of towels and chairs at the beach of their sister property.
The staff were very friendly, helpful, and courteous. The hotel is very convenient for walking to town/shops and to the ferry terminal. The food at the new Marcus Samuelson restaurant was very good. The hotel was under renovations and this was not made apparent when booking the hotel. The construction work started quite early every day - including Sunday. Overall, the hotel is very nice but not as luxurious as expected for the price.
If you are looking for a quiet upscale place to stay in Bermuda you must consider Rosedon. It's a hidden oasis right in Hamilton. Easy walking to shops and restaurants. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful, the rooms and grounds very clean. The gardens are beautiful. We would definitely return. Was not a concern for us, but no restaurant or bar on premises. They do provide an honor bar in the main building though and plenty of places within walking distance.
The facility was fantastic (one bedroom apt with king sized bed) and in every room we had a breath-taking ocean side view! Staff was hands off, but very helpful when we needed something. We took a dip in the pool every morning and the area was very quiet and secluded. Right next to a bus stop as well! We cannot wait to come back! This is not a "dislike," but more of a suggestion. The hotel felt more like a timeshare, which is what we wanted. We had a full kitchen to cook food and received clean towels daily- otherwise it was very independent.
Close to airport Filthy. Garbage had not been emptied. There were crumbs on the floor. And when we moved the couch to watch TV the floor was filthy. No batteries in the either of the remote control in the living room. shower provided just more than a trickle of water. Cab driver warned me to lock all doors when we go out. Such a waste. We were staying only one night prior to our flight home. Otherwise we would have moved hotels.

In October 2008 Arsenal FC submitted a full planning application for:
- Demolition of the existing buildings and the redevelopment of the site to provide a re-aligned Queensland Road and two new buildings to the North and South.
- The building to the South would be up to six storeys in height and provide 218 residential units as well as 345 m2 of commercial space capable of occupation for any combination of Class A1/A2/A3/A4/B1 uses.
- The building to the North would incorporate five towers providing 10 to 15 floors of residential accommodation each above a plinth of mainly non-residential space. It would comprise 516 residential units, 1,600 m2 sports centre for Arsenal Football Club, 1,140 m2 of commercial space capable of occupation for any combination of Class A1/A2/A3/A4/B1 uses and 179 car parking spaces.
The proposal is a similar form of development to that previously approved by Islington Council in 2002 and 2005 and has evolved through discussions with the London Borough of Islington and in response to the views expressed by the community during the public consultation organised by Arsenal.
Following extensive public consultation Arsenal has responded positively to the concerns expressed by local residents and the Council. In particular, the height of the proposed residential towers has been significantly reduced and the proposal now includes an Arsenal sports centre which will operate on a similar basis as the former JVC Centre.
