Hi there.
I have recently been made redundant after 25 years in direct sales environment, the last 10 years in telecoms. I have no teaching experience and do not have a degree. However i am highly experienced in presenting to large groups of people from employees to board level.
I have decided its time for a change, and the redundancy has given me the opportunity to take my time and "make the right decision" I decided when i was made redundant that i would take out at least a year and do some traveling. I then thought that it would be a good idea to work my may around, maybe with my contacts abroad get another job in sales etc. However when researching various forums, it occurred to me that a getting a tefl qualification would be a great idea.
I have always enjoyed the presenting/training side of my previous job and think that a career in teaching would be a natural progression.
I now have a few dilemmas though and a few questions which i hope somebody can answer?
1) although i have no degree, i consider myself to be intelligent and a good speaker/presenter. I am looking at teaching possibly in Spain first and then maybe moving further afield Thailand/far east etc. Would the lack of a degree make a massive difference in my ability in securing a job?
2) i have looked at various courses, Celta and non Celta. I am looking at a 4 week course part on site, part online. I have looked at the following:
a) "i to i"
seems a little less expensive but is not a CELTA accredited certificate. this is what their accreditation says:
Our TEFL certificates are accredited by the ODLQC and this will help to verify the quality of your TEFL course. Every i-to-i graduate will be given a letter of reference from their tutor and this will help to support your application when you start looking for work overseas.
b) ITESOL
Again not a CELTA course but this is from their web site:
As the leading provider of quality TEFL/TESOL courses across the world INTESOL is proud to bring you qualifications that have been accredited as being at NQF Levels 4 & 5 by OCNW, a National Awarding Body, which is recognised worldwide!
The Awarding Body for your TESOL qualification is of paramount importance, consider it carefully.
OCNW is a unique organisation, enjoying the status of a National Awarding Body (NAB), approved by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) and an Authorised Validating Agency (AVA), licensed by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA).
c) Action English which is more expensive (around £1000) but is a 4 week fully hands on CELTA course.
Does anybody have any experience in either of these modules, or can advise me on whether its worth paying the extra and getting a CELTA certificate?
Your help and advice would be really appreciated.

A project is underway studying options for improved passenger rail service. The study area includes the segment between the Columbia River in the Portland urban area and the Eugene-Springfield urban area. This 125-mile segment is part of the federally-designated Pacific Northwest Rail Corridor. ODOT is leading an environmental review process that will inform a number of important decisions, including selection of the general rail alignment and communities where stations will be located. The project will also determine several service characteristics, such as the number of daily trips, travel time objectives, and the technologies to be used (for example, whether the trains will be powered by electric or diesel - electric engines). For more information, visit the project web site ODOT - Oregon Passenger Rail.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by st8ofmind, May 18, 2007.
Praise from a very tough critic. Charley Rosen / Special to FOXSports.com Posted: 12 hours ago Link
No complaints about Sheed's bball IQ and on court ability. Just can't stand the constant whining and taking night's off. No doubt he brought swagger to this team and they wouldn't be in this position without him, but I find myself questioning if he is worth all the attention he brings. On the flip side he is very entertaining with his frank comments and energy. He is a head scratcher to say the least. LB was able to rein him in, maybe it was the NC thing.
Sheed makes tremendously funny and original comments from time to time. The guy is entertaining. You just get the impression he is toying with the media and the rest of the world. I love this one, from McCoskey's Notebook: Rasheed Wallace was as confident as ever Thursday morning, but he not wasn't willing to make any of his patented guarantees. "Not yet," he said. "I told you, I am only doing it once a playoff season. I can't do it every series. It's not a circus bit."
Yeehaa from Montana. Edit: drunk as a drunk sku n k.
Movin to Montana soooooon Gonna be a dental floss tycooooooon
Actually, you'll be a cattle rancher since there's more cattle out here than people. Big city people LOVE it out here........... Keep them DOGGIES movin..........
The whinning part I can deal with if not for being the main guy on the switch mentality. But he is a Piston now, he is one of us.
I happily accept the full Sheed package. He still adds the toughness and swagger this team of semi-softies needs. Thanks for the Frank Zappa flashback.
If any of you have never seen "the dunk" Check out the last :15 of this. Young Sheed was amazing. Plus it has some nice Steve Smith moments. YouTube - Blazers jam session
Thanks for the video. I wish Sheed had the same speed he had when he was with Portland.
He's seasoned very nicely in my opinion. Way better shooter, calmer head (believe it or not), and much much stronger.
Separate names with a comma.

"I was really pleased with how this card turned out. The photo looked great and the paper was of high quality. I was thankful I chose the rounded corners, they really added to the card. Overall, super impressed with the whole experience!"
"This card came out great. The photos were clear, the text was easy to read, and it even came a day faster than anticipated."
"We received so many compliments on this card. The colors are bright and fun for Easter without looking too childish. Couldn't be more pleased with the design, and qualityof this card."
"My daughter was in the NICU for several weeks, so we didn't get a chance to send out birth announcements. I still wanted to send something out with her pic this Spring, but not necessarily Easter specific. This card was perfect and super cute!"
"I chose this card because it allowed me to use several pictures while not looking cheap like many collage cards often do. I opted to pay a little extra for the pearl finish and it looked very nice; however, I think it tends to make to color of the photos less vivid and sharp and may work best on B&W photos as opposed to color photos. The cards were made of a heavy card stock which I love and much prefer to the thin cards printed on photo paper. It was a little pricy so I did order less cards than I would have if they were a little cheaper. Since I include his age and the date on the card, I no longer have to try and remember when and how old he was in the photo. This makes documenting those special days a snap and I make sure I keep one extra for his memory book. I would highly recommend this card if you're looking for a quality, classy card and not concerned with price."

Cam Stone scored an unassisted goal with 43 seconds remaining in overtime to lift Hobart to an 11-10 win over the Canisius College men's lacrosse team on Tuesday night. The loss drops the Griffs to 2-3 on the season, while the Statesmen improve to 1-5.
Sophomore Billy Jacobbi and junior Austin Romantic both set career highs with four and three goals, respectively. Junior Sam Connors, sophomore Vince Gravino and freshman Jeff Edwards each added a tally to round out the Canisius scoring.
Junior Tim Edwards paced the Canisius attack with two assists, while also dominating the faceoff X by winning 16-of-24 restarts and collecting a game-high seven ground balls.
Junior Alex Govenettio anchored the Griffs defense with 10 saves – his fourth game this season with double-digit stops.
Hobart netted the game's first goal just 53 seconds into the contest only to see the Griffs respond 58 seconds later with Jacobbi's first tally of the night. Gravino then gave Canisius its first lead but the Statesmen quickly replied this time with a goal 57 seconds later to knot the game at two.
Romantic and Jacobbi helped the Griffs reclaim the lead with two quick scores to start the second quarter for a 4-2 advantage. Hobart would cut the lead to one with 12:31 remaining in the opening half but the defenses held for the remaining 12-plus minutes as the teams headed into the intermission with Canisius ahead, 4-3.
In a repeat of the second quarter, Romantic and Jacobbi struck early in the third to stretch the Canisius lead to a game-high three goals, 6-3. However, Hobart seized the momentum and ran off five-straight tallies to finish the quarter and take an 8-6 advantage into the final frame.
The Griffs, however, upped their game in the fourth quarter. Canisius outshot the Statesmen, 16-4, in the final stanza of regulation and would take the lead after three-straight goals to start the period. Romantic completed his hat trick 1:46 into the quarter to pull the Griffs within one before Jacobbi evened the game with 10:55 remaining, netting his fourth of the night. Connors then put Canisius back in front with his second goal of the season with 8:26 left in regulation for the 9-8 Griffs advantage.
Hobart would tie the game with 5:44 remaining but a failed clear by the Statesmen allowed Tim Edwards to find his brother, Jeff, for the go-ahead tally with 4:16 left in regulation. Canisius would win the ensuing faceoff but three saves by the Hobart goalie gave the Statesmen another opportunity on the offensive end. After a timeout, Hobart converted when Cooper Stefaniak found the back of the net with 1:16 left. The Statesmen then had a chance to win in regulation after winning the faceoff but a turnover sent the contest into overtime knotted at 10.
Tim Edwards won the faceoff in the extra session but Canisius could not find the winning tally with four shots, the last a shot by Romantic that was saved by the Hobart netminder. Govenettio would come up big for the Griffs on the other end with a save of his own but a failed clear led to Stone's game-winning tally and Hobart escaped with the 11-10 victory.
The Statesmen held a slight advantage in shots, 41-38, while Canisius won the faceoff battle (16-of-25) and held the edge in ground balls, 24-17.
Matt Opsahl and Stefaniak both led Hobart with three goals on the night, while Peter Zonino recorded 11 saves in the winning effort.
Canisius now turns its attention toward conference play, opening up the MAAC season with Monmouth on Saturday. The Griffs and Hawks will battle at the Demske Sports Complex with game time slated for 3 p.m.
Game Notes: Hobart has now won 14-of-15 all-time meetings between the two schools … The Griffs had won the only other overtime meeting in 2010 … Canisius has lost its last two overtime games after winning five-straight during the 2009 and 2010 seasons … Jacobbi topped his previous career high of three goals, while Romantic's personal best was two scores … Tim Edwards entered the game ranked second nationally with a .678 faceoff winning percentage … Canisius went 0-for-3 with the extra-man advantage and is just 1-for-13 this season on the man-up offense (.077 percentage).

By Chris Harris
Thomas Vermaelen will not play again this season.
The Belgian centre back has been sidelined since September after suffering an Achilles injury while on international duty. Vermaelen eventually recovered from that but has since been troubled by another tendon problem and, despite having surgery to correct it, he will not pull on an Arsenal shirt before the current campaign finishes.
"For Thomas Vermaelen the season is over," confirmed Arsène Wenger at his pre-match press conference.
"In fairness he has not played since September, I never expected him to be fit before the end of the season. He is not out on the field yet and it is impossible [for him to play] after six months without competition. I am confident he will have a full recovery but for this season we cannot rely on him."
The manager also set the record straight on Johan Djourou's fitness. The centre back was ruled out for the season immediately after dislocating his shoulder at Manchester United but, during the week, the Swiss FA claimed that he could return to action in time for next week's international break. According to Wenger, the accurate prognosis is somewhere in between.
"Johan Djourou is out for at least six weeks," he said. "There's a little chance [he will play again this season], he has an arthroscopy on Monday and we will know more about the damage in his shoulder. We hope we will have good news but no matter what happens he will be out for six weeks."
Nicklas Bendtner could be back in the squad after missing the FA Cup tie at Old Trafford through illness. But Wenger will also be without Alex Song (knee), Abou Diaby (groin), Wojciech Szczesny (finger), Lukasz Fabianski (shoulder), Cesc Fabregas (hamstring) and Theo Walcott (ankle) at the Hawthorns.
"Cesc Fabregas is out for the game on Saturday," said Wenger. "He should be back after the international break, maybe, he has a chance, but he is not available for the weekend. Walcott is not available for the weekend and he has no chance [for the international break]. He is not available for England."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

I just got all my stuff together to do some vacuforming (table, vac, frame, molds), but I'm a little in the dark as to the thickness of the styrene. The website studiocreations.com says to use .080", but that's not exactly a common thickness here in Denver. And .093 is too thick to get decent definition (i.e., the 'bumps' on the codpiece).
Those of you that are vac-forming out there, what thickness is decent enough for this? Several local places sell .060". Is that thick enough?
Bradley? Anyone? Bueller?

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
As you know, we keep food in refrigerators so it will last longer. But still, sometimes you open a bag of bread or a jar of spaghetti sauce and what do you find? Mold!!
Ever wonder exactly what mold is? And how did it get there? And why sometimes it's green and other times black or white? Did you know this stuff is alive and growing?
In this experiment, you'll find out all about those colorful, fuzzy fungi by growing your own crop. Print out these pages and follow the directions to do this experiment at home. When you're done, come back to this page to test your newfound knowledge by answering the questions below. (No fair peeking at the answers before you do the activity!)
Note: This is a long-term activity. It will take several days for the mold to grow. The first day should take about 30 minutes to one hour. For safety reasons, don't eat or drink while doing this experiment. And don't taste or eat any of the materials used in the activity.
*It's best if you use newly bought, fresh bread to make this experiment as accurate as possible.
Note: Young people who don't have experience operating a stove or microwave oven should get help and supervision from an adult. Parents or supervisors of young children may consider doing this step themselves.
Microwave: Stir 1/4 cup of sugar into 1/4 cup of water in a microwave-safe container and heat at one-minute intervals until sugar dissolves. Water will not need to reach boiling. Use potholders or oven mitts to handle container. Allow the mixture to cool for about five minutes before using.
Stovetop: Stir 1/4 cup of sugar into 1/4 cup of water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Use potholders to handle hot saucepan. Allow the mixture to cool for about five minutes before using.
1. Using masking tape and marker, make labels for four sandwich bags. Label the first bag "Dry White Bread." Label the second "Water on White Bread," the third "Lemon Juice on White Bread," and the fourth "Sugar Water on White Bread."
2. Wash your hands. Place a slice of white bread in the bag labeled "Dry White Bread" and seal the bag. Using one eye dropper, sprinkle 20 drops of tap water on another slice of white bread. (Don't overdo it; the bread should be moist, not wet. If your bread is dripping, you've definitely done way too much. Throw away that slice and try again.) Place the moist bread in the bag marked "Water on White Bread" and seal the bag. Using a different eye dropper, sprinkle 20 drops of lemon juice on another slice of white bread and put it in the bag marked "Lemon Juice on White Bread" and seal the bag. Using your third eye dropper, sprinkle 20 drops of sugar water on the last slice of white bread and place it in the bag labeled "Sugar Water on White Bread" and seal. Try to keep your fingers off moist spots when handling each slice of bread.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2, but this time use a different kind of bread in the remaining four bags. Your labels should note what kind of bread you're using. Wash your hands when you're done.
4. Make sure all of your bags are tightly sealed. Place all eight bags in a dark, warm place (about 86 degrees Fahrenheit, 30 degrees Celsius). Check with your parents or supervisor about where to store the bags. Check the bags each day for two weeks and record the results in a notebook. You may wish to draw or take pictures of the bread slices. Don't open the bags!
5. Make a graph recording the total growth of mold on each of the four white bread slices at the end of two weeks (see sample graph on right). Make a similar graph for the other four bread slices. Compare the results. At the end of the two weeks, throw out all the bags unopened.
This experiment is based on an activity developed by the National Association of Biology Teachers.

|Focus Tuning Chat Discuss performance tuning options for your Ford Focus.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
The previous owner returned to stock. It came in what's referred to as "partially locked". I finished unlocking it. The PATs issue actually stemmed from when I was trying to datalog. In an attempt to fix the situation I reloaded the "Tune" that was in there from before that my car did run on with no PATS issues, just didn't run "right". Still had PATS problem. "Return to Stock".....still had PATS issue. I didn't do anything that hadn't worked before. But yes, obviously some ghost data was stored. Sucks, lesson learned. The tech I got on the phone this morning, Mark A, was VERY helpful. He unbricked my ECU by sending me a "stock" program. First we tried a regular one which didn't work, then we tried the same program with PATS disabled. Car started right up no issues. I cannot thank that tech enough for saving me the money of having to tow the thing in and have Ford do it. The point of all of this (and the callout) was this; I also sent a PM to our SCT rep here on the forums and he told me that SCT could not help me. Had I just listened to him and not also contacted SCT directly I would have had the thing towed in today because I was told SCT could not help me but that I would have to have someone else write me a custom tune with PATS disable. I was planning on getting a custom tune anyways (which I did from Tom today) but I didn't know Tom would be that fast and I needed my car back on the road today.
I have nothing but love for SCT as a whole and I give their tech support two thumbs up, but our rep here on the forums was not overly helpful. He responded to my cry for help over something that obviously wasn't SCT's fault, yes, and for that I am thankful, but he did nothing to actually help me solve the problem. Mark A did. That's what that last post was about.
Now off to send Tom my datalogs so we can get the beast running right. :)
I don't follow any of this...
You mess up a car buy thinking you can tune 2 with the same tool. 'Unlocked' isn't what most think it is. It's not simply flashing 1 car back to stock to flash another, it needs to be 'formatted' also; which is software most don't have anymore (only people who do are those who had/have and old PRP disc ;) and SCT.
So ghost data from the old car gets written to the new one, Car bricks, you go into panic mode. I don't know where this public callout comes from. I've seen the same thing happen before and SCT has bent over backwards to help, for free mind you. Actually happened to a buddies truck as we where tuning it. Sucked and we had to tow it home. He got lucky and had an X3 and the tech just did a remote reflash and it was back to normal.
Thing is, he's also using a tuner that was used. IIRC he said they also reformatted the X3, so it should be good now.
Anyways, always be wary of used electronics. That's just common sense.

I tried reloading the old tune but the same thing happens. So now I've got a dead car. Please help.
Cory Janda
Unfortunately there is nothing we can do remotely with the X2. This is part of the reason we no longer sell this device. Was this device only used on your vehicle? Was this the first time you had returned it to stock using the device?
From me:
No, but I had previously used the device with the tune that was on it from another 2.3l manual Focus and had no issues with PATS and returned to stock with no issues with PATS. Oh and it arrived partially unlocked and I found the instructions on a Powerstroke forum on how to finish unlocking it. Only then was I allowed to load the tune in my car but after a short drive I returned it to stock because there was a major hole between 4 and 5k.
Depending on how the device was used (if it was unlocked or not..the X2 required multiple steps for it to be truly unlocked) incorrect PATS information may have been copied over. You can try getting a custom tune file with PATS turned off but not all Focus allow this. How many tune files were on the device? Just a random question but when you try to start it, what is shown on the odometer? Is it just dashes? theft light blinking? Do you have the device connected to the obdII port or not when you try to start the car?
Unfortunately we are dealing with hardware that is close to 10 years old that we stopped supporting and updating probably 5 year ago.
Wish there was more that I could do. Your best bet at this time would be to get a pats disabled tune.
From me after getting the issue resolved through SCT Tech Support:
Mark at SCT wrote me a stock tune with PATS disabled. Worked great. I don't care that its disabled, the light still flashes on the dash when the car is off so that's a theft deterrent. I went and had a generic key cut just to make sure and it worked fine. Thanks for your help and much kudos to Mark.
Sent from Gods Country
So you thank me here then call me out on the forums publicly...appreciate that...
Nothing I stated was incorrect. We do not typically send out any sort of custom tune file. That is what our dealer network is for. I didn't offer or mention sending a file as there were still some unanswered questions and I didn't want to put you in a situation where you would have to have pats disabled from now on with any tune file you get from one of our dealers.
I will let our members be the judge of whether I was calling our rep out publically or not. He asked alot of questions and was helpful in that respect which is why I thanked him (although the Tech Support rep asked none of these questions and just helped me) but his solution as he stated a couple times was that I should find someone to write me a tune with PATS disable, not that SCT themselves could help me with a "piece of equipment that is 10 years old and we stopped supporting almost 5 years ago".
Just thought I would update this since someone else may end up having to search for this in the future. I was able to contact SCT this morning and first they sent me a new stock file which didn't work either, but then they sent me a stock file with PATS disabled and it worked just fine. I even went and had a generic key cut just to make sure and it worked fine. So, while I didn't like not having my car for 18 hours, I saved quite a bit of money by not having to pay dealer price for a new key to be made, I didn't have to pay to have the car towed in for a reflash and I didn't have to pay for a reflash. I cannot speak highly enough about SCT Technical Support. As much as I hate to say it though, our rep here on the forums told me that SCT wouldn't be able to do anything for me and I would have to find someone to write me a stock tune with PATS disable and did not mention that SCT could do it themselves. Thankfully I called them anyways.
XCAL2 Data Log issues, now PATs
So I got this unlocked XCAL2 previously used on another 2.3L 5spd, bought it with my F2 header and K&N FIPK. When I installed the FIPK I loaded the tune file just for schitts and grins. It downloaded my stock ecm program fine and uploaded the tune. Took it for a spin for a couple miles and turned around because it was bucking in the 4k to 5k range, plus I wasn't too happy about the fact that the tune included perm TC disable. My guess is the bucking was becasue it was tuned for the header and without it the exhaust wasn't being expelled fast enough. So I returned it to stock and just last night contacted Tom for a new tune. While I am waiting for a response I decide to try some data logging. I finally got things to link up but LiveLink said "Loading Stock Parameters......" in the lower corner and stayed that way awhile. I canceled the program and decided to try to load the tune file again to see what would happen if I tried to datalog that file. The program loaded fine but this time when I went to start the car the PATs light was blinking like crazy and the car wouldn't start. Okay, wierd, so I returned to stock with the same results. Disconnected the battery for awhile and tried again. Same results. Tried a couple more times to return to stock and basically I have a dead car in the garage. Sent SCT a message to see if they can help me and sent a PM to our SCT contact on here. I really don't want to pay to have this thing towed into Ford to be reflashed because there goes my money for my tune from Tom. I looked online and the instructions for restoring the stock tune which was supposedly backed up on my computer and the Dump.exe file didn't exist in my LiveLink folder.
So lets say I have no interest in ever returning the car to stock; can Tom just write me a program and include PAT's disable? I tried pulling the PATs fuse but that did absolutely nothing (wishful thinking I suppose).
Please help, while a beautiful one, my Focus doesn't make a good paperweight. Interestingly enough I am not getting any DTCs from this.

Council of Europe's Anti-Racism Commission publishes new report on the United Kingdom
Strasbourg, 02.03.2010 - The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) today published its fourth report on the United Kingdom which deals with racism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism and intolerance in this country. ECRI's Chair, Nils Muiznieks, pointed out positive steps in fighting discrimination, but also expressed concern that racist incidents had become more frequent, police powers were exercised in a manner that disproportionately affected minority groups, Gypsies and Travellers still faced serious discrimination and asylum-seekers remained in a vulnerable position.
As regards positive developments, the legal framework for combating racism and discrimination has been strengthened. New criminal provisions on the prohibition of religious hatred have been enacted and police forces now apply a uniform definition of racist incidents. In addition, an Equality Bill has been introduced in Parliament with the aim of harmonising discrimination law and raising existing standards; it should provide similar protection against discrimination on the grounds of religion and belief to that provided on the grounds of race.
The United Kingdom authorities have continued their extensive monitoring of the situation of minority ethnic groups in various policy areas in order to address the problems identified better. Considerable efforts have been made to ensure that racially motivated offences are comprehensively and consistently reported and recorded by the police and to streamline practices throughout the criminal justice system.
Some encouraging signs have been noted in terms of reducing inequalities experienced by minority ethnic groups. Educational attainment among Black and minority ethnic pupils has continued to improve and the employment gap between the total population and minority ethnic groups has narrowed. An overall strategy entitled "Improving Opportunity, Strengthening Society" has been implemented with the aim of increasing racial equality in key public services such as employment, health, education and building community cohesion.
At the same time, the rise in racist incidents in recent years is worrying. The impact of anti-terror legislation on minority groups also continues to cause concern, with measures such as stops and searches disproportionately affecting members of Black and other minority ethnic communities. As a result, members of these communities, especially Muslims, feel increasingly stigmatised.
Gypsies and Travellers are still most likely to encounter discrimination in all fields of daily life and they face some of the most severe levels of hostility and prejudice. The lack of adequate sites has also frequently been at the root of community tensions.
Asylum-seekers remain vulnerable to destitution, hastily reached decisions rejecting their claims and unnecessary detention. Together with Muslims, migrants, Gypsies and Travellers, they are regularly presented in a negative light both in political discourse and in the media, especially the tabloid press. The tone of public debate continues to include some elements of racist and xenophobic discourse.
In its report, ECRI has made a number of recommendations, three of which require priority implementation and will be revisited by ECRI in two years' time:
The report, including Government observations, is available on www.coe.int/ecri.
ECRI is an independent human rights body of the Council of Europe which monitors problems of racism and intolerance, prepares reports and issues recommendations to member states.

Brazil staycation
You don't have to journey to South America to feel the heat of the equator-some new Havaianas and a taste of Carnaval should do it.
Cine Fest Petrobras Brasil NY
Ipanema Girl
Become a Brazilian
Whether headed to cheer the national team in a World Cup match or to the beach on a hot summer day, you'll need some proper duds and a pair of Havaiana flip-flops. Local Brazilians flock to Ipanema Girl (28-19 Steinway St at 28th Ave, Astoria, Queens; 718-545-2277, ipanemagirl.net) for all things Auriverde (this Brazilian flag nickname translates to "gold and green"), including jerseys ($20) and Brazilian-flag T-shirts ($10--$25). The store's popular Havaiana sandals—which come in a half dozen hues, including gold and green—start at $18, and go as high as $180 for a Swarovski-crystal-encrusted pair. Tristate-area transplants also stop in Ipanema for the familiar Caf Pilo ($4.99) and scents. "Sometimes people come in from the street just to sniff the soaps and dish-washing detergents," says co-owner Vinny Barone. "They are reminders of their home." For a larger selection of women's fashion, head five doors down to Ax Brazil Boutique(28-33 Steinway St between 28th and 30th Aves, Astoria, Queens; 718-545-0499), where you'll find summer dresses, swimsuits and handcrafted jewelry made from golden grass and coconuts.
RECOMMENDED: Our most recent Staycation Guide
You're decked out in the right threads, ladies, but there's still a part of you that needs a Brazilian touch. Treat yourself to a day of pampering at Bela Brazil Spa(93 Reade St between Church St and West Broadway; 212-240-9434, belabrazilspa.com), where the staff hails from So Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais, among other Brazilian states. Manager and Minas Gerais native Claudia Barroso says it's all about expertise: "We have brought these services from Brazil, and we pay attention to the details." Barroso recommends the Brazilian Blow Dry ($33 and up) for a bone-straight 'do; a Brazilian mani-pedi ($42), characterized by its focus on cuticle removal; and, naturally, the Brazilian bikini wax ($50). Grin, and attempt to bear it.
You may not be in the southern hemisphere, but you can still cultivate a Brazilian tan at NYC's answer to Copacabana. Coney Island's beach boasts a touch of South America: Before you stake out a spot on the areia (sand), eye the vibrant, fantastical mural painted in 2005 by So Paulo art duo Os Gmeos(2912 Stillwell Ave at Surf Ave), just opposite the Stillwell Avenue subway station.
Inside info
The Motorcycle Diaries director Walter Salles, a Rio de Janeiro native, is said to be helming the film adaptation of the novel On the Road, penned by onetime New Yorker Jack Kerouac.
Discover Brazilian culture
Formerly of So Paulo, Williamsburg resident Gil Inoue likes the "inspired vibe" at Beco(45 Richardson St at Lorimer St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn; 718-599-1645, becobar.com). For brunch, he orders bife a cavalo ($11), a filet mignon and two eggs with rice and beans. He also recommends coupling the dish with a cold glass of caju mimosa ($6), consisting of champagne and cashew-fruit juice.
Experience a Brazilian-style buffet—it adopts a pay-per-weight system similar to Manhattan delis—at Copacabana Pizza & Grill(31-13 36th Ave at 32nd St, Long Island City, Queens; 718-545-3685), a cafeteria that dishes delicious and inexpensive ethnic cuisine. Grab a tray and a plate and help yourself to as much of the freshly made salads, rice, beans, pastas, breaded chicken and fish as you can stomach ($4.99/lb). Observe how the locals order their tender grilled beef—known as churrasco—and ask for the same. Don't forget to pair your grub with a Guaran Antartica—this soda tastes like ginger ale, only sweeter.
Another favorite expat eatery is Casa(72 Bedford St between Commerce and Morton Sts; 212-366-9410, casarestaurant.com), beloved for both its ambience and tasty stews like feijoada ($23.95), a beans, beef and pork concoction considered to be Brazil's national dish, and moqueca ($20.95), a seafood dish that hails from Bahia. "They say it's Grandma's home cooking," boasts owner and So Paulo native Jupiera Lee. "The taste of our food brings them home."
Party with Brazilians
Williamsburg's Miss Favela(57 South 5th St at Wythe Ave, Williamsburg, Brooklyn; 718-230-4040, missfavela.com) is an excellent place to shake it, especially on Saturday nights, when samba band Gato Morto plays. Manager Tino Vargas estimates that about 70 percent of the joint's clientele is Brazilian, and they imbibe plenty of drinks—like caipirinha ($8), the quintessential cocktail containing sugar, lime and cachaa.
Brazil is known the world over for its epic Carnaval, the nearly weeklong hedonistic pre-Lenten celebration featuring costumed samba dancers and copious amounts of alcohol, held each year in Rio de Janeiro, Olinda, Recife and Salvador da Bahia. The Brasil Party, held every Wednesday at Nublu(62 Ave C between 4th and 5th Sts; 646-546-5206, nublu.net), can get just as packed and sweaty. Forro in the Dark plays rhythmic, percussive forr dance music live, and resident DJ Greg Caz spins classic Brazilian beats. Caz describes the hip-shaking, never-tiring crowd as "a good cross-section of twenty- and thirtysomething Brazilians and the non-Brazilians who love them."

|When we talk about WebSphere CloudBurst, its applicability to development and test environments usually jumps out at the audience. Using the appliance, you can provision fully configured WebSphere cells (your applications included) as a set of virtual machines in a matter of minutes. Further, a patterns-based approach means you can be sure that you are going to get consistent results every time.
|The ability to very quickly and consistently stamp out customized WebSphere environments is a huge benefit for test and development purposes because these are typically dynamic. Users frequently stand up and tear down these environments to support the application development process.
|This is fine, but sometimes these benefits and particular use case for the appliance lead customers to wonder how it is applicable to production environments. After all, you do not frequently setup and tear down production environments. It is much more common that you deploy your production environment and leave it be so long as you are getting the desired behavior. So, how does WebSphere CloudBurst help with your production environments?
|To answer this, we have to avoid looking at the appliance's applicability to production environments in a vacuum. What do I mean? Well, as you are well aware, an application environment goes through many stages in order to get to production. For example, in your organization a given application environment may go through development, test, staging, and pre-production before you finally promote it to production.
|One of the challenges as you move your application environment from one stage to the next is maintaining configuration consistency. In other words, you somehow have to ensure that the environment you tested and verified is the same one that you eventually deploy into production. This is where WebSphere CloudBurst patterns can prove invaluable.
|You can build WebSphere CloudBurst patterns that represent your various application environments (from the topology to the configuration), and effectively parameterize those patterns so that they can be used across each stage of your application lifecycle. For instance, as you move an application environment from development to test, the location of backend data sources may change. Simply make this location a parameter configurable during pattern deployment, and you can reuse the pattern for both development and test. If you extend this parameterization methodology to include the variable bits of configuration for each stage in the application's lifecycle, you can reuse the pattern from development all the way to production. The result is that you can be certain the environment you test and verify is the exact same one that you put in production.
|For me, the beauty of WebSphere CloudBurst is really the patterns-based approach. This approach not only makes configuring and deploying WebSphere environments faster and simpler than ever, but it also makes the standing up of such environments easily repeatable. This can mean tremendous benefits for the deployment of your applications throughout their lifecycle.

Belgium's chances of surviving as a unified nation took a serious blow when Yves Leterme the Flemish Christian Democrat leader, abandoned his efforts to create a government and told King Albert the situation was hopeless. Belgium has been without an effective government since June. He admitted being unable to bridge differences between the Dutch-spoeaking Flemish and the francophone Walloon communities. The more prosperous northern region of Flanders is pushing for autonomy– or even becoming a new nation– while the less successful southern area of Wallonia wants to continue the nation of Belgium. Leterme demanded power to reform the federal structure and give more power to Flanders in order to appease Flemish separatism, an action that angered his Christian Democrat counterparts in Wallonia who want a strong central government. A vote in Parliament which stripped French speaking voters living in three historically Flemish communities on the edge of Brussels from voting for French-speaking parties.
Dutch and French speakers do not communicate with one another. They watch different TV stations, read different newspapers, and sent heir children to different schools and universities. There are not even national political parties since there are things like a Flemish Christian Democrat Party and a Walloon Christian Democrat Party. During early stages of the industrial revolution when coal and iron were important, the Walloons were the wealthier people, but since technology has become dominant, wealth has flowed toward the Flemish area of the nation. Leterme has been trying to get a constitutional convention which would undoubtedly result in splitting a nation that was created by European powers in 1830.

The Breeders
As the Breeders were working on their new album in the beginning of 1993, the Pixies split, leaving Kim Deal able to pursue the Breeders full-time. Released late in the summer of 1993, Last Splash was a hazier, more disjointed continuation of the hard pop of Safari. With the sonic collage of "Cannonball," the Breeders had a crossover hit that catapulted the group into stardom; within a year, the album had gone platinum and the band had a prime spot on 1994's Lollapalooza tour. That year, the group also released the limited-edition 7" Head to Toe and Divine Hammer singles that year, both of which confirmed the Breeders as a quirky, artistically willful group that was nevertheless in tune with the commercial pop tastes of the early '90s.
Just as quickly as success hit the band, the Breeders went on a sudden hiatus, partly due to exhaustion from the rapid nature of their fame and from their extensive touring. Late in 1994, Kelley was arrested for drug possession and was sent to a rehab clinic in Minnesota; the rest of the band went their separate ways while she recuperated. Wiggs played with musicians around New York, ultimately forming the Josephine Wiggs Experience with them; Kim returned to Dayton with MacPherson, learned how to play the drums, and continued writing songs. By early 1995, Kim had an album's worth of new material ready to record. Though she considered recording them on her own, Deal decided to assemble a backing band of MacPherson and other Dayton-area musicians, including Nathan Farley and Luis Lerma of the Tasties. Not surprisingly, the Amps -- originally called Tammy & the Amps -- sounded like a rougher, lo-fi version of the Breeders; their gigs and their 1995 album Pacer emphasized the loose, charming spontaneity of Deal's style.
Though the Breeders' break was supposed to be temporary, it ended up lasting far longer than the band or its fans could have expected. Indeed, the lineup that recorded Last Splash never regrouped: Wiggs recorded with the Josephine Wiggs Experience and later formed Dusty Trails with Luscious Jackson's Vivian Trimble; after Kelley completed her rehab, she formed her own solo project, the Kelley Deal 6000. She toured and released an album with this group, 1996's Go to the Sugar Altar, which reflected on addiction of all sorts in a very Breeders-esque manner.
By that year, however, Kim reclaimed the Breeders name and played some California dates with the band, which was basically the Amps' lineup with the addition of violinist Carrie Bradley (who played on Pod). In 1997, the Breeders played the Tim Taylor Memorial Benefit Concert -- in honor of Brainiac's singer/keyboardist, who was killed in a car accident earlier that year -- with that group's drummer Tyler Trent replacing MacPherson, who later joined Guided by Voices. Later that year, Kim went into the studio in one of many frustrated attempts to make the third Breeders album. However, the group's low profile didn't mean that it didn't have any hits; a sample from "Cannonball" used in the Prodigy's worldwide smash "Firestarter" earned Kim songwriting credits -- and royalties. By early 1998, Kelley had rejoined the band and the duo continued to write and record songs, though the only song to surface from any of their sessions was a cover of 3 Degrees' "Collage," which appeared on the soundtrack to 1999's big-screen adaptation of The Mod Squad.
Though a new Breeders album was hotly anticipated later that year -- and then in 2000 -- it didn't arrive. In 2000, Kim and Kelley spent time in the studio with Steve Albini; late that year, the Breeders played their first gig in over three years (and Kim's first show with Kelley in over six) at a free, secret show in Los Angeles. Once again, the Breeders' lineup had changed, with bassist Mando Lopez, guitarist Richard Presley (both formerly of Fear), and drummer Jose Medeles backing the Deal sisters. The group reconvened in the studio with Albini in 2001, finally completing an album's worth of songs. The Breeders began a flurry of activity in 2002, beginning with a club tour that winter and the release of the Off You and Huffer singles and their long-awaited third album, Title TK, that spring. The group embarked on more extensive tours of Europe and the U.S. after the album's release. After a quiet 2003, Deal was once again in the news in 2004 when the Pixies announced they were reuniting for tours of North America and Europe.
In late 2007, rumors that another Breeders album was on the way were confirmed, and Mountain Battles arrived in spring 2008. The Fate to Fatal EP, which featured a cover of Bob Marley's "Chances Are" and guest vocals from Mark Lanegan, arrived in 2009, the same year the Breeders curated the All Tomorrow's Parties festival in Minehead, England. The following September, they played the ATP festival in Monticello, New York. In 2013, the band celebrated the 20th anniversary of Last Splash with a deluxe reissue of the album and a coinciding tour that reunited the Deals with Wiggs and MacPherson. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine & Heather Phares

GoWings1905 replied to Echolalia's topic in GeneralWorse. By a lot too considering Holland's moves this off-season. Even with Pavel's retirement, I was cautiously optimistic that the Wings would play the young guys more and Blash would improve his usage from last season resulting in a better team. All of that is shot now. I think the Wings have a legitimate shot to finish last in the division.The scary thing is next season will be the most competitive they will be over the next five years because of Holland.

GoWings1905 liked a post in a topic: Darren Helm re-signed: 5 years, $3.85m AAV
GoWings1905 replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in GeneralKen Holland is the worst. I knew when he traded Pav's contract it was going to end up spent on more bad contracts. I think his plan for the Red Wings is to officially tread water, linger in mediocrity and cling to a playoff streak. He has no direction for the organization. I would have MUCH rather eaten Pav's final year, done nothing today and just let the young guys play. I can't even fathom what this roster is going to look like on Opening Night now and who won't be on it because Ken Holland brought back Helm, Miller and signed Thomas Vanek. AA and Mantha might as well go to Grand Rapids right now. Just awful. If there's anyone left defending this guy, I would love to hear the rationale behind it. Draft and develop my ass. More like let your kids rot and then lose them for nothing or give them terrible usage so we can watch a bunch of mid 30's guys play instead.

GoWings1905 replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in GeneralHe was a top five prospect in many rankings for much of last year. He's exactly what the Red Wings don't have in the pipeline right now. Much more upside with Chychrun than a project like Cholowski. Trading Pavel's contract does nothing for the Red Wings if you don't use the cap space or even worse, spend it poorly now. It was only for one year and the team isn't going anywhere regardless.
GoWings1905 replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in GeneralNot to be too much of a downer, but I'm thinking the playoffs might not be a problem the way things are looking. With better usage next season, I think both of them will bounce back nicely.
GoWings1905 replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in GeneralI'm honestly dreading Friday with Stamkos not an option now. This is worst case scenario for the Red Wings. Holland with cap space and no appealing options that are going to drastically alter the direction of the franchise in the near future. I wasn't even fully onboard with pursuing Stamkos, but once Pav's contract got moved, it was Stamkos or bust for me. Now we just potentially gave up a future first pairing d-man in the draft when they could have sat on Pav's money for a year, let the young guys play and continue stockpiling prospects. Instead we are staring at David Backes for five years or some other terrible contract when that is the last thing the Wings need at this point. For once Holland, please do nothing. Kick every single tire, but I truly hope nothing happens. Give me Larkin, AA, Mantha, Tatar and Nyquist in larger roles next season.
GoWings1905 liked a post in a topic: Red Wings re-sign Riley Sheahan: 2-years, $4.15m
GoWings1905 replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in GeneralI disagree with the bolded part -- the drop off in Nyquist's goals was due to the fact the power play was a dumpster fire. He was still producing near the same level at even strength, despite poor usage and compounded by having much less talented players than him get the top-six minutes instead. If Gus doesn't produce getting Helm's or Richards' deployment all season, then I am more inclined to believe the notion that he regressed. It's befuddling though Blashill would decrease the ice time of his top two goal-scorers and then bemoan the fact your team can't score goals. I just think expectations are the biggest foes of Gus and Tatar right now. They probably aren't the next generation of superstars like when Z and Pavel took over. However, 30-goal scorers in their primes aren't easy to find and with better usage going forward, I believe both will get back to that level. I really hope the Wings aren't thinking of dealing either of them at this point, though I fear that might be the case.
GoWings1905 replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in GeneralAbby has spent the better part of five years with Z and/or Datsyuk -- it wasn't like he just got time with them when the decline hit. It comes back to usage. Abby has been forced into a top-six role almost by default. I won't deny that he brings certain elements to the team that no other forward does, but that comes back to management having too many players of the same mold. In a perfect world, Abby goes to the third line and gets less time at even strength and on the power play. I don't think he is particularly valuable in either of those areas for the minutes he receives. He was -16 and had terrible possession numbers. Nyquist and Tatar both inexplicably got the short straw from Blashill this past season. Nyquist played 1:30 less per game coming off a year he had 27 goals. Tatar played two minutes less after scoring 29 and HSJ had the nerve to give them failing grades. The Wings couldn't score goals and the response was a top-six that included Abdelkader, Helm, Richards and the ghosts of Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg. If you give Gus Nyquist the proper deployment next season, he's a 30-goal scorer. Part of the reason the Abby deal is perceived poorly is because Holland has given out so many bad contracts lately and he added to it by giving Abby seven years when he is already 29 years old. There's no way he was going to get seven years on July 1 from some other team. Even if you want to debate the 'bang for the buck' right now, how is that contract going to look when Abby is 36 with the way he plays the game?
GoWings1905 replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in GeneralAbdelkader also played three minutes more per game too and spent practically all of that time with Z and/or Datsyuk.

GoWings1905 replied to HockeytownRules19's topic in GeneralSproul needs to at least get a shot out of training camp. I don't care so much if they lose Jensen, but it would be a tough pill to swallow if Sproul never gets a real opportunity on a team that has gotten nothing offensively from their d-men for years.
GoWings1905 replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in GeneralI don't -- at least not for Stamkos' price tag. I want Backes even less and that strikes me as more likely than Stamkos happening. I'm also in the sign Okposo camp.
GoWings1905 replied to HockeytownRules19's topic in GeneralDefinitely a step in the right direction. For an organization that has been adverse to change lately, this is at least acknowledgment by Holland and company that the status quo won't cut it anymore. I will know we are really heading somewhere if Holland lets all of the pending UFA's walk on July 1.
GoWings1905 replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in GeneralWithout his best forward and second best d-man no less. Jim Nill has done pretty well for himself too. Kenny hasn't upgraded the blue line in five years though, so we have that going for us. And a pointless playoff streak.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Pat Myers, one of the brightest young minds in collegiate lacrosse coaching, has been promoted by University of North Carolina head men's lacrosse coach Joe Breschi, to the position of associate head coach, effectively immediately. The announcement was made on Tuesday by Breschi.
"Coach Pat Myers has done a terrific job for the past five seasons committing himself to the Tar Heel lacrosse program while making a positive impact on the lives of our young men in Chapel Hill. His tireless work ethic and attention to detail has spearheaded an offense that consistently ranks as one of the best in the nation," said Breschi. "He's helped the Tar Heels reach the NCAA tournament five straight years, advance to three ACC Tournament championship games and capture our first ACC title in 17 seasons. A relentless recruiting coordinator, Pat does an excellent job identifying some of the best high school talent in the country and bringing them to Chapel Hill. This is a well-deserved promotion for Coach Myers as he continues to strive to be the best offensive coach in the business."
Over the past five years Myers has served as the head assistant coach, offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator for the lacrosse program at North Carolina. Myers has done an outstanding job in his first five years as Breschi's top assistant.
In 2013, Myers' offense was ranked fourth in the nation, scoring 13.35 goals per game. That was the highest scoring average for the Tar Heels since the 1996 season. Carolina ranked fifth in the nation in assists per game (7.53) and fourth in points per game (20.88).
The Tar Heels had two attackmen, Marcus Holman and Joey Sankey, named to the All-ACC Team, while Holman was a first-team All-America selection and a finalist for the 2013 Tewaaraton Trophy. Holman, who broke the school record for points in a career last season, was UNC's first Tewaaraton Trophy finalist since 2004. In addition to Holman, midfielder Chad Tutton was a second-team All-America, Sankey was named to the third team and attackman Jimmy Bitter was an honorable mention choice. Holman was named both the ACC Player of the Year and the Most Valuable Player of the ACC Tournament.
Myers helped lead the Tar Heels to the 2013 ACC championship, Carolina's first since 1996. The Tar Heels finished the regular-season ranked No. 1 nationally in the USILA coaches' poll for the first time since 1993. Five different Tar Heels scored 20 or more goals last season and three reached the 20-assist plateau. All three starting attackmen had 30 or more goals and 50 or more points. Holman's 80 points in 2013 were the second most in a season in UNC history and his 43 assists were the third most in a single year.
"I am extremely grateful to head coach Breschi and athletic director Bubba Cunningham for having the confidence in me and the UNC Lacrosse program to grant me this opportunity," says Myers. "I am very excited to take the next step in my college coaching career. The University of North Carolina is a very special place, and I am both honored and humbled to represent Carolina Lacrosse as the associate head coach.
"It is an exciting time for our program, and I am looking forward to continuing to help build upon the success we have had over the past five seasons. Under Coach Breschi's leadership, I have grown both personally and professionally while watching the UNC program blossom in the classroom, community and on the lacrosse field. I am proud to be a Tar Heel and I look forward to the hard work that lies ahead for 2014 and beyond."
In addition to possessing a stellar offensive mind, Myers is considered one of the nation's top recruiting coordinators. Over the past four years, Myers spearheaded recruiting efforts that brought in the nation's No. 1-ranked recruiting class in 2010, the No. 2-ranked recruiting class in 2011, the No. 1-ranked recruiting class in 2012 and the No. 3-ranked recruiting class in 2013 based on rankings by Inside Lacrosse Magazine.
Under the direction of Myers, Carolina's offense took a quantum leap in 2012. The Tar Heels averaged 12.18 goals per game, an improvement of nearly two goals a game over the 2011 total. Holman had one of the greatest seasons in UNC history with 39 goals and 35 assists. Three Tar Heel freshmen - Bitter, Sankey and Tutton - combined for 69 goals and 42 assists. All three made the All-ACC Tournament Team, the first time three first-year players had ever made the team in the same year.
As the team's offensive coordinator, Myers saw the Tar Heels score a robust 11.56 goals per game in 2010 with a team concept that produced assists on 65.4 percent of UNC goals. Myers also coached an extra-man offense unit that led the nation at 55.1 percent, scoring on 27 of 49 opportunities. That was the second best extra-man offense percentage in school history. He helped the Tar Heels post 13 wins, equaling the fourth highest victory total in Tar Heel lore and the most in 17 seasons. His offense featured ACC Player of the Year Billy Bitter (UNC's first since 1996) and ACC Freshman of the Year Marcus Holman (UNC's first since 1998).Myers played lacrosse as a midfielder for Coach Breschi at Ohio State, graduating in 2003. He then served as an assistant coach at Ohio State, Cornell and Bucknell. In his three years at Bucknell, he served as the offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator for the Bison. After his graduation from Ohio State, he also played in Major League Lacrosse for four years as a member of the Rochester Rattlers and Boston Cannons.
