As we say prepare to say farewell to Highbury we would like to invite all Arsenal fans to share their favourite Highbury Memories with us.
Is there anything special to you that stands apart about Highbury? If there is please, e-mail your story to firstname.lastname@example.com and we will publish your special moments for everyone to share.
Here are some we have already recieved:
There's only one Dennis Bergkamp
A Highbury afternoon, Saturday, 3 o'clock kick-off, Arsenal verses Man United. Cantona, Giggs, a young Scholes starting to make a name for himself, the Neville brothers, Beckham still learning how to take a free-kick; a very strong, youthful United were taking on Tony Adams' Arsenal. Except that sitting in the East Stand, a couple of rows from the back, I noticed that, even at the age of 11 or 12, this new unconventional dutch forward, contained promise of something that we, the fans, couldn't quite put our finger on. One opportunity, one goal, one-nil to the Arsenal. And one Dennis Bergkamp, one-Dennis-Bergkamp, walking-along-singing-a-song, walking-in-Bergkamp-wonder-land.
Just like that, Cantona had lost his crown as best foreign player to grace English football.
Alan Murray
Growing up in Canada, I spent my younger years watching football on the telly. When Mr. Bergkamp drew me to Arsenal in 1995, who knew that my love for the club would lead me all the way over to London? After years of seeing Highbury on TV and swearing to my mates that I would someday make it here, my day had finally come. Upon graduating from uni, I decided to spend a couple of years in London, mainly so that I could visit Highbury and see the Gunners up close and personal.

It is true what they say, one gets chills when entering Highbury. I will never forget my first visit, nor will I forget any other of the 20 or so that I've clocked up in the past 18 months. So many wonderful moments during this time! I feel so very privileged to have had the opportunity to see Highbury inside and out, to sing and support my team in person after all of these years! Truly a dream come true. It will be tough to leave Highbury but the future is bright - we gooners have a lot to look forward to! Farewell to Highbury!
Mohammed Al-Alawi, Bahrain
My most memorable Highbury moment is, When I went to the match between Arsenal and middlesbrough. As everyone knows if Arsenal dont lose this game they will equall notingham forest's record of 42 games unbeaten. So I went to the match and felt confident that Arsenal will win. The match was good when Henry scored, but When they equallized I was a bit mad. Then they scored another I was frustrated, and when they scored the third goal, I said to my self "its all over" My dad told me dont worry Arsenal are a great team and they will do it. When Bergkamp scored I knew then that we had a chance. Then when Pires scored I was happy and wanted the match to stay that way, but seconds later Reyes scores a beauty. At this moment I was the happiest man alive. And when Henry scored the 5th I knew we are the best team in English history and we deserved the record. And at the end of the game my father said " I told you Arsenal will do it, they are the best team in English history.
Simon Draper, Reigate
Standing on the North Bank - a pleasant but sometimes intimidating experience. Take Arsenal v Hereford United in 1985's League Cup. We won 7-2 - that was easy. Getting through the traffic an hour before kick-off in a Ford Capri was tricky but actually shuffling through the turnstiles? That was hardest of all. A police search found something concealed in my coat. "What's this then?" yelled the copper, holding a bar of white chocolate, "the Milky Bar kid's an Arsenal supporter!".
Hilarious for everyone except me, who's trying to act tough at 16 on the North Bank.
Gary Sawyer
My dad first took me to Highbury when I was 9. We stood in the top right corner of the Clock End (looking from the North Bank) and as I couldn't see dad put me on his shoulders. Just above was a concrete platform with TV cameras on it, the cameramen seeing my dad struggle lifted me up and sat me under the cameras. Wonderful memory.
Jason Tavaria
The 94/95 season and it was just an ordinary game against QPR. We hadn't really played that well, but one man was determined that it was going to be his day whatever happened. You could feel it, especially after he hit the crossbar in the first half. Sitting in the East Stand Lower we didn't seem to care that we were losing or that QPR were really playing the better football, all we cared about is the fact that John Jenson was on a mission that day to score. Then in the second half he picked up the ball just outside the box, put it onto his right foot and curled it in the top corner. No one really cared about the loss, we all witnessed John Jenson scoring!! Classic moment. Kind Regards
Andy Smith
What does Highbury mean to me? Somehow 100 words doesn't seem enough to even begin answering this question. I grew up in Chorleywood, not too close to Highbury it has to be said, but born in London and raised with a mother and Uncle who are life time gooners, Arsenal were always going to be my club. My first memories of Highbury were from Match of the Day, I particularly remember the mid week highlight shows during the late 70s and early 80s, Born as I was in the great double winning year of 1971 I grew up during the time of Willie Young, Frank Stapleton and Pat Jennings. Not the most successful of times it has to be said, indeed the 80s were far from happy until George arrived on the seen, but I still remember fondly the views of Highbury on rainy winter nights on the TV, wishing above all that I would be allowed to go and actually seem them play one day. Well my dream came true sure enough, when I was a bit older and my first visit to Highbury was indeed a mid-week match. I recall getting the tube, joining in the crowds from the station and absolutely relishing the whole experience. However I will never forget the first view as I walked up the concrete steps and infront of me loomed the filling crowd, the bright lights glittering through the rain and that beautiful green pitch below. Since this occasion, Highbury has always held a soft spot for me and I take the opportunity to visit as often as I can. Hopefully with the new stadium this will be for often than of recent years when obtaining a seat as proven impossible due to or amazing success of late. I will be sad to say goodbye to Highbury but I trust The Arsenal to keep the traditions alive in the new stadium, here's to the future.
Iain McCall and Adrian Wright - Sussex Gooners
It's December 1st, 1973. As a thirteen year old, I had only seen Arsenal play once, a 3-2 victory away at Palace the previous season. This was my first trip to Highbury with my best mate Ade. He had already seen a 0-0 cup match vs Derby in a 64,000 crowd. It was a freezing cold day, we got to the ground at 11.00 for a 3 PM kick-off against Coventry and savoured the atmosphere with growing anticipation. The crowd was only 22,000, times were hard back then, and Ade and I took our seats in the Lower West Stand, red and white scarves tied around wrists, as was the fashion.
Twenty minutes gone and Arsenal are two-nil down. This is not how it is supposed to be! Happily, Brian Hornsby pulls one back with a header before half-time. I can't remember any of the second half apart from the equaliser. Sammy Nelson down the left, lets fly with a screamer which bends into the top right hand corner of the North Bank net. Bedlam! and sheer relief, 2-2 isn't too bad. To Victoria to catch the train home. Two older skinheads pick on us, try to nick our programmes. They survive but we lose a scarf. That's 'football'!? The game is on 'Match of the Day'. What a goal by Sammy - did he ever score another? I don't remember any! Welcome to Highbury - the start of a thirty -two year love affair.
Clive Mayhead, Season Ticket Holder, West Stand Upper
My father and I were regulars in the late 40's at the clock end which, of course, was open to the skies in those days. But there was a place you could stand to miss the rain and that was under a raised platform in the far left hand corner up at the back where a solitary policeman used to stand overlooking the heads of the crowd. Only about 15-20 people could get under cover and it meant you had to be in the ground early, often around 12.30. I was about 10 at the time and my fondest memory was a fan that had new false teeth and when I asked him who we were playing next he said Toke Tity!!! At 10 years old in those days I thought that was rude and therefore very funny; you know what young minds are like!
Terry Moriarty
My first real memory was the first game i saw at Highbury we had lost 2-1 to Leeds but what still sticks in my mind is Leeds keeper Gary Sprake Laid out Bobby Gould with the sweetest punch I have ever seen. The winning of the Fairs cup in 1970 dad and i went to Highbury early to get a decent view at the front so i could see the atmosphere was muted because i dont think many fans gave us a chance,but the team pushed on and the noise as the first goal went in was amazing,but it did not compere to the 2nd and 3rd at the final whistle dad and i went on to the pitch and ran around the pitch with the team and i think everybody else there was more people on the pitch then in the stands but what a releif to win something after 17 years.
Norman Egan
I left Ireland for London in March 1988 and my first full day in London, a Wednesday, I headed straight for my first visit to Highbury. I walked around the stadium in awe, went to the club shop and met Jack Kelsey behind the counter, and then I went through an open door or gate, and found myself standing in the clock-end. I walked down to the front and stared at the pitch for a good 20 minutes remembering many famous incidents that I had witnessed on TV. Here I was with the stadium, empty, and all to myself, so I decided I had to venture out to the penalty spot.
I literally had one leg in the air, stepping over those little hoops that used to separate the pitch from the terrace, when I was yelled at by a groundskeeper, telling me in no uncertain terms that I should stay off the pitch! Never mind, I preceded to walk through the Clock End and bumped into Brian Marwood who must have just signed for the club. I then went in the front door of the stadium to see if I could get a programme from the previous Saturday's game, and the lady in reception gave me about 20 from all the home games that season. That day was 16 years ago, and I remember every detail like it was yesterday.
Paul Medlicott
I can remember trudging down to Highbury with my brother Geoff in the 60's when we were about 9 and 10 years old, standing on the North Bank with only about 15,000 in the stadium (we hadn't won anything for 30 years!), catching the last 15 minutes of the match for free because the gate used to open before the end of the match to allow fans out. I also recall bunking off school with my best mate Dermot to see Arsenal v Derby during the double season, the game was played mid afternoon because of the power strike. I can recall fans being literally lifted down to the front of the pitch over people's heads. We had secured a position just in front of one of the old crush barriers on the North Bank, unfortunately it collapsed due to sheer weight of numbers sending Dermot and myself tumbling down to the front of the terrace. Thankfully and miraculously we were uninjured and ended up pitch side with a great view of the match (0-0 as I recall). Unfortunately we were also captured on TV and appeared on the evening news which gave us some explaining to do the next day!
Paul Saunders
Due to the power-cut in the early 70's, me and a friend visited the league game (1st division) against Wolves during the week (we skipped School , I was 13 at the time). There were 13,000 people at Highbury that day and the programme was just four pages thick
Terry Haggar
My earliest memory was a Juventus game in the early eighties, with snow piled pitch-side and even Juve scoring not dampening the great atmosphere. The Italians were 'holding the ball' but their cynical foul tactics were thwarted by a late sending-off. With red cards being rare in those days, the crowd was amazing - imagine 45,000 fans chanting Off-Off-Off! It turned into a frantic fantastic effort to equalize, which we finally did, prompting an enormous cheer and subsequent pitch invasion at the end. And this remains the one and only time I've ever actually made it onto the hallowed turf!!
Kurt-L Peterson, Orebro, Sweden
I've been a Gooner since May 1971 - thanks to Charlie George. Four years after this event in October, 1975 my father and I went to Highbury to watch Arsenal v Middlesbrough (2-2). After my daughter's birth that was the happiest day in my life. My father, who is 78-years-old now, told me last year that I cried with happiness whenever we came to Highbury. I've been at Highbury, at least, 30 times since then and every time my team enters the field some tears of happiness come, just as they did in 1975.
Alan Jackson, Norwich
Arsenal were at home to Wolves, we entered the east stand lower, and myself along with all the other young boys were passed over the heads of the crowd into the schoolboys enclosure, I remember the comments "another one coming over" my dad was left to stand with all the older men some 10-20 yards back. From that moment on I was transfixed with all that went on around me, the noise, the chanting, the colour and most of all my soon to be hero Danny Clapton. From that moment on I was bitten with the Arsenal bug. In 1960 we moved to Potters Bar and along with my schoolmates regularly attended matches even through the lean years. We moved to Norfolk in 1966 but I still managed to see the Arsenal through the first "double season". In 1991 the Norfolk Arsenal supporters club was formed and this made getting to games much easier. In 1994 I was fortunate enough to purchase two East Stand lower season tickets, and as they say the rest is history. What I can say is while I am writing these comments I have tears in my eyes and the hairs on my neck are bristling, just like my first Highbury visit.
Liam Rickards
Walking from the Highbury Barn, down Lucerne Road to the corner with Avenell Road. As you get closer the atmosphere mounts and then you turn the corner and look down to the Clock End, the West Stand with flags flying proudly, the bustling crowd outside the Marble Halls. Fantastic. It's something I'll never forget. Wrighty and Dennis hanging out of the dressing room window with our first Premiership trophy.

Assessment Strategies
Guidelines for Developing and Using Different Methods of Assessment
These assessment strategies provide valuable information to both teachers and students. Each strategy offers unique methods and instruments. The key is to understand their different purposes, how they can be structured, and finally, what to do with the results. Assessment strategies can be broken into five main categories. It is not necessary to use all methods within a category, but all categories should be included in an assessment plan.
Strategies for Gauging Student Needs >
Use these strategies prior to instruction to help determine a student's background experiences, skills, attitudes, and misconceptions. These strategies help to assess each student's learning needs and assist students in making connections between what they already know (prior knowledge) and what they will be learning.
Strategies for Encouraging Self-Direction and Collaboration >
Use these strategies to assess the ability of students to take ownership of their learning, demonstrate interpersonal skills, produce higher-quality work, understand feedback, and assess classmates' work.
Strategies for Monitoring Progress >
Use these strategies to help students stay on-track during a project. Students become more self-managing when they are provided with these assessment methods and instruments as they complete open-ended tasks. These strategies also assist in determining when and where students need extra help or additional instruction. Many of these strategies provide documentation of learning growth over time.
Strategies for Checking for Understanding and Encouraging Metacognition >
Use these strategies to check for student understanding as they progress through the project. Students also use these strategies to think about their own learning. The same method can be used for both purposes, but it is important to provide explicit questions and prompts to help students think about what and how they are learning.
Strategies for Demonstrating Understanding and Skill >
Use these strategies to assess student understanding and skill at the end of the project. Two different types of strategies are in this category:
- Products and performances;
- Portfolios and student-led conferences
Products are things that students create, sometimes known as artifacts. Performances are things that students do. Portfolios are the purposeful collection of products and performances over time that exhibit the student's efforts, progress, and achievements while student-led conferences are the means by which students share portfolios, samples of their work, and discuss their interests, learning, and goals.
Changing Assessment Strategies
A teacher modifies a unit to include different kinds of assessments.

text: Thanks - I needed that. Yes he definetly took a blow to the Mr Big Shot image in that game. If he would have just hit one of those 3's or made that 1st free throw or did not foul Marbury on the 3-pt shot. Can't blame the coach though for leaving him in. He is our money player and there are plenty of games when he was able to recover and make some clutch plays for us. He did rack up quit a few assists.

Wayne Law Leads the Way as 96% of Graduates Pass Bar Examination
DETROIT (Nov. 6, 2007) – Official passage rates for first-time takers of the July 2007 Michigan Bar Examination have been released, and Wayne State University Law School graduates far outperformed the field with 96 percent passing on the first try.
With 132 out of 137 Wayne State graduates passing the July 2007 bar examination on the first try, students who graduated from a law school other than Wayne State were three times as likely to fail the exam on the first try as Wayne State 's first-time takers. The three other law schools with large numbers of graduates taking the Michigan bar exam, Michigan State University, the University of Detroit Mercy, and the Thomas M. Cooley Law School, had first-time pass rates of 90 percent, 87 percent and 74 percent, respectively. The overall first-time passage rate was 86 percent.
"As witnessed by such a high passage rate, Wayne Law truly prepares graduates for the real world by providing them with the tools and resources needed to pass the bar examination and enter into the legal community," said Wayne State University Law School Dean Frank H. Wu. "On behalf of Wayne State University Law School , I would like to congratulate our recent alumni on a job well done."
This year marks the second consecutive year that approximately 96 percent of Wayne State University Law School graduates have passed the bar examination on the first try.
Wayne State University Law School has served Michigan and beyond since its inception as Detroit City Law School in 1927. Located in Detroit's re-energized historic cultural center, the Law School remains committed to student success and features modern lecture and court facilities, multi-media classrooms, a 250-seat auditorium, and the Arthur Neef Law Library, which houses one of the nation's 30 largest legal collections. Taught by an internationally recognized faculty, Wayne State Law School students experience a high-quality legal education via a growing array of hands-on curricular offerings, five live-client clinics, and access to well over 100 internships with local and non-profit entities each year. Its 11,000 living alumni, who work in every state of the nation and more than a dozen foreign countries, include leading members of the local, national and international legal communities. For more information, visit www.law.wayne.edu.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – A trio of hitters tallied double-digit kills on Friday night to help Green Bay (6-7, 1-0 HL) post a season-high hitting percentage and sweep visiting Wright State (6-12, 0-1 HL) 3-0 (25-22, 25-20, 25-11) in the Horizon League opener for both teams at the Kress Events Center.
Hitting over .300 in each set, Green Bay's offense excelled with 46 kills and a .347 hitting percentage. It was the second-straight sweep for the Phoenix and the second time in as many matches head coach Michaela Franklin's team hit over .300. Sophomore Mikaela Gunderson (Casco, Wis.) had 10 kills on just 15 swings to lead the Phoenix with a career-high hitting percentage of .667.
Senior Leah Van Zeeland (Kaukana, Wis.) had six of her team-high 13 kills in the opening set as Green Bay rattled off five-straight points early and led the majority of a 25-22 Phoenix victory.
In set two, Wright State led 20-18 before Franklin called a timeout that got her squad's attention. On the strength of Van Zeeland's serve and three kills from senior Monica Anderson (Cottage Grove, Wis.), Green Bay scored the final seven points of the set to lead 2-0. Anderson finished the match with 11 kills.
Green Bay extended that run into set three with the opening five points. After the Raiders closed the deficit to 9-6, Emily Riese (Fond du Lac, Wis.) served during a 9-0 run that put Green Bay in front with a dominant 19-8 edge, and the Phoenix closed out the clean sweep 25-11.
Riese directed the Green Bay offense with 32 assists while sophomore libero Jillian Bauer (Verona, Wis.) tallied a match-best 16 digs.
Green Bay returns to action on Saturday afternoon, hosting Oakland at 4 p.m. for another Horizon League matchup.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I know this is an old thread but I had this issue could not go down a slope without painful cramps in ball of feet and had to stop ever minute or so .. Green slopes were unbarable etc nightmare... Pain was bad with both Flows and Burton P1 bindings, Previous boots i had were Burton and some other makes (cant remember) all gave me pain.
My solution was a pair of Quenchu Snowboard boots... I dont know what model they were but they were very cheap about £20 at the time... and the only thing I can think why the pain stopped was because they are wide and even if i try and tighten the straps on bindings down on these boots compared to other boots I have had they seem like they can cope with the pressure of the straps (a bit like steel toe capped boots for snowboarders lol ).. When i get home i will try and find out the model of boots I have...and post...
But good luck as until i found these boots i wrecked 2 holidays.... :

Also, a binding with a capstrap is a lot more comfortable for my forefoot (in case, you don't have one).

Did OP ever solve this?
3 months since my last post and I've made no progress. I did, however, waste a lot of money. Bought new bindings (yes, flows), new boots, orange superfeet, custom molded insoles, thick snowboard socks, thin snowboard socks, changed stance width, went from forward stance to duck. Talked to bootfitters.
Only option left that I can think of is those $400 orthotics, but it sounds like those didn't help OP.
If I'm lucky, the pain starts to fade about halfway through the day. Some days I do get lucky and the pain doesn't really show up. Other times, it never goes away. And it's only during riding.
|Yeah, I went back and they hammered out my boot a little bit and shaved down the footbeds. It feels fine when I try it on, but the test will be next time I go out. They said it definitely isn't a boot size issue, which is good I guess, because I didn't want to buy new ones.
|Kaiju's > heel lift
|Slush Puppie
Sorry to hear you're having major problems.
I don't know what the solution is but the first thing I would do is go back to the guy that made the custom insoles, as they should be willing to tweak things until you get comfortable. What was the process the used to fit and make them?
Other than that, could the new insoles have reduced the volume of the boot so your feet are now cramped? If the bones of the forefoot are pinched together slightly it could cause that pain (I had something similar in cycling shoes with new insoles).
I too am in the foot pain club. My pain seems to be confined to toe side and in the ball of my foot. I just had my first run out with custom footbeds, and they most certainly did not solve the problem. I already know that I have semi-flat feet, and apparently "long" arches. As in, the length of my arch is consistent with a foot size that is a size larger than my feet actually are. In any case, the custom footbeds should resolve that...maybe they improved something but there is still something going on that is far worse.
I visited a podiatrist and he didn't seem helpful. Just wanted to sell me expensive orthotics.
It's actually pretty funny for me to see people say that they could barely finish a run without pain, because if I got anywhere near a single run complete without stopping I'd be thrilled at this point. I have to rest them constantly.
The mountain I went to had a lot of runs that required lengthy toe-side traversing for goofy riders, which was quite agonizing.
It seems like the next things to try are bindings and boots. I know I can rent boots, not sure about bindings, but I'll ask the local shops.
Oddly, the foot that hurt the most (rear foot) - and still is very sore the day after - felt like it was too small for the boot. When trying the boots on normally, this was not the case, and it's never been the case that foot felt "bigger" in a boot than the other. So I'm not sure if it was a fitment issue, or if it was another issue that then caused swelling, which then made fitment a secondary issue once the foot was swollen.
The pain is mainly on the ball of my rear foot, and more to the outside. While riding, there is overall soreness on both feet, but where I feel it the day after is there.
I'll try the stance thing that the poster above me mentioned as well. Especially since the pain seems to be on the outside of the rear foot, perhaps as if it wants to be aimed back a bit. Right now I'm at something like 20/5. I did try duck stance briefly a few years ago and immediately switched back, but I can't remember if that was due to pain or because I felt like I couldn't control my board as well.

Long traverses on my toe side and the pain would start and boy, once it started it just got worse and worse to the point that I had to stop and rest and then start again.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Oh awesome, glad to hear a good review for the b-street (i mean, not that i expected anyone to hate it). I weigh like 115 so the first board was pretty unwieldy and I got frustrated with it a lot, so sounds like the 141 will be better.
I think I'm gonna stick with the Casas for now until they give me serious problems - I ended up buying the Madisons and my boots happened to fit them perfectly
The only problem now is the fact that i'm so stoked about the new gear it's gonna kill me to wait 5 months to try it out
The B-street is my current go-to board for daily riding and I LOVE it. It's soft enough to be playful, but still stiff enough to handle the whole mountain. There is a pretty big difference between a 141 and a 148 - how much do you weigh? I weigh about 110 pounds and find the 141 to be an ideal length.
As for boots, I too started out with the Casas. They are fine for beginners, but if you have the funds, it will be worth your while to get some nicer boots. In particular, the Casas are very soft and unresponsive. They also cut off the circulation in my feet. I now ride Salomon Ivys (a mid-stiff boot) and am much happier.
As for bindings, the Madisons are solid and are well-suited for all-mountain shredding. I own a pair and my only complaint is that they are a bit big for my tiny feet: I wear a size 4 boot and they are both too wide and a smidge too long. I also own a pair of K2 Virtues, which I love. Very comfortable and comparable flex to the Madisons.
You should also consider Union Trilogy and Ride DVa. I would actually recommend finding new boots first (always try them on before buying!), then try bindings with your new boot to guarantee a good fit.
Yay for new gear! Have fun shopping!
women's bindings (for BTX)
sup guys,
I started boarding 3 years ago with your basic beginner's setup (5150 Velour, 5150 Dynasty bindings, and the Burton Casas), but last season I really started to feel like my board isn't really suited to my body type and style of riding, so in April I went out and got the Gnu B-Street, which seems like it'll be wicked awesome (clearly haven't had a chance to test it out yet)...
(oh and my 5150 was a 148; the gnu is a 141, hopefully that works out)
I didn't buy bindings at the time because I hadn't done enough research, but I'm at the point now where I think I'm almost there -- just need a little more help.
I think my top choices would be either the Rome Madisons (or the Struts? What's the major difference?) or the Union Milans -- any other suggestions? Is one better suited to the banana tech than the other?
Also last question (sorry): would it be worth it to invest in new boots also? the casas were sweet for a while but i was feeling a lot of heel lift this past season

I've been collecting parts/researching building an MG47 for a couple a years now, and I think I'm about ready to tackle this project. I have an 86 Romy G kit built into a faux RPK with a turned-down RPD barrel with type3 milled barrel bits on it (so I could leave the barrel a little bit thicker than if I had turned it down to us AKM barrel bits.) This would be great for an MG47 in that it has the added length to help with keeping pressure up longer for more reliable cycling than the 16" versions. Here's where it's at now:
So I got to thinking the other day, AK74 kits are fairly cheap right now and 5.45 ammo is really cheap right now, so why not try my hand at an MG74? The biggest hurdle here I think would be finding a feedtray/topcover that would work with 5.45 ammo. I figure that 5.56 is close enough to work, and the most common beltfed 5.56 I know of is the M249, SAW, Mk46, Minime, whatever it's called. But that presents a problem in and of itself. IE where to get the parts for less than a small fortune?
Anyone know who sells complete M249 topcover/feedtrays?

Hi there
I am a new TEFL teacher. One of the biggest problems I am facing is the lack of easy reading materials available. I found a couple of short stories online, however I want to be able to give my students an actual book, so they could ( or I could) pick stories that are interesting and suitable to read. I am looking for good books with short stories (for any levels of ESL students, but particularly for beginners or lower intermediate levels). Does anyone know any good books that I could buy online?

Today I moved our camp's archery syupplies to a local Highschool we share them with. They had a 3D target range and a 20-40 yd range. They also planned to take the kids to what they called a shotgun range. I never had anything like that so I thought it was pretty cool.
Does your, or did your school teach you any hunting skills? Tell us about them if so.

Here Comes The Summer
What do you know! A BoG!
CHILDREN. KIDS. Today is YOUR day! Today is the day you may begin PINING FOR THE SUMMER! Even if you go to one of those year-round abominations. Nobody can stop you from pining, right? It's your freedom as an American to pine! Thomas Jefferson fought Hitler to make sure you could pine! Don't write that down, though, we didn't fact check it.
Anywho, all the stuff in this here Kids.Woot Woot Off are things you can enjoy during your summer fun. And if you find something that doesn't? Duh! Use your imagination! Even a bent paper clip can be a rocket if you imagine hard enough!
Oh, but all the bent paper clips are probably going to be over on Tools & Garden. Just in case you're looking for them.

my first attempts at painting ROTJ armor please tell me what you think

my first attempts at painting ROTJ armor please tell me what you think
not yet weathered...... more to come
Looking good! The weathering will change it again. You 'may' want to consider a matt coat on to seal it all, but like I said, looking good.
Looks like you are maybe a tad heavy on the Yellow, but dang, looks pretty good for your first attempt.
I'd have to agree with D, for your first attempt bruv it does look pretty good... but maybe over done it on the yellow. :thumbsup
i thought so to about the yellow......gonna touch it up a tad so rid of some of it more pics to to come thanks for the advice
meybe if you misted a little flat black on it the yellow might not "pop" out as bad. very good though. I wish mine looked that good on my 1st attempt!
less yellow
sorry it so dark flash died on my cam
Much much better :thumbsup
well not the most screen accurate out there but i am liking it
Definitely better! Even without the flash you can see that it's an improvement!
question whats the best was to attach a shackman chest light?
Good question!!! I've still not figured out the best way to do it, but I've been using duc-tape to do that for years. Works just fine!!! Its really easy to memove if you need to, and it only takes a few minutes to do it. Only downside, is that after while, your lights will slide down some & you will have to readjust, but usually you can make it through 2 or 3 outings before you have to readjust.
i was thinking that or maybe useing screws on the outer sides of the board with nuts and over sized washers to hold it
double sided sticky industrial velcro.
and the paint job is coming along nicely!
maybe ill test some of that out tommorw see how it works tommrow i will finish the neck plate pics soon to come also imma try and get pics of a fan system i got in my mystery
neck armor
Helmet interior fan set up
(once again sorry for the darkness i think the flash completely blew out)
3 fans 2 medium sized on the sides 1 just a lil bigger then a quarter in the center top of visor
4 9v battery connection on top of visor
1 switch back of helmet near vents
ab plate done please comment
The fan setup looks pretty good. That'll probably be the next thing I tackle after everything else is set to go. I have not yet trooped in my suit so I'm not sure how hot it's going to get under my lid. I can only imagine.
Are you painting topical or layered?
Looks good either way.
Looks great so far. Better, than my first attempt.
iIm just now starting my first paintjob, ROTJ as well. I hope mine turns out this well.
Looking great, nice paint up and great job with the fans. Should be a pretty sweet costume when done!
alright, thanks, i'll keep that in mind.

Hi All,
I'm new at this forum, but I wanted to say hey and bring the issue of obtaining visas for TEFL teachers specifically in the EU.
I know that you can get legal papers to live/work in the Czech Republic (because that's where I was certified and where I lived and worked) I also know that it's not that difficult to get papers (visa and residence permit) for other Eastern European countries like Hungary, Poland etc...
However, if you want to teach in say Spain, Italy or France you may not be able to get a visa.
So here's the thing....I've gone through the political circus of talking to my Assembleyman, my State Rep, my Senator, and my Congressman.
My Congressman (the Honorable Clay E. Shaw) has actually initiated two Congressional Inquiries on my behalf to the State Department. I'm currently awaiting a response from the second one. (It takes them just over a month to respond).
Anyway, through my frustration I've decided to start a petition. The petition is to the Senate on Foreign Relations Committee. I'm just trying to get the issue on the Senate floor for discussion.
So I could use everyone's help, because what I need is signatures, lots of them. So if you're a registered voter (because that has more impact) and you think this is a good idea....please visit my petition, read it, sign it and feel free to pass it on to family and friends. It's at http://www.petitiononline.com/1yrTEFLv
Thanks for your help

The economic case for preschool
In this well-argued talk, Timothy Bartik makes the macro-economic case for preschool education — and explains why you should be happy to invest in it, even if you don't have kids that age (or kids at all). The economic benefits of well-educated kids, it turns out, go well beyond the altruistic.

Bend-La Pine, Redmond schools get new report cards
Leaders celebrate success while focusing on improvements
BEND, Ore. - The Oregon Department of Education released redesigned school report cards Thursday, including new information, and two Central Oregon districts found much to be pleased with -- along with issues to address.
The report cards found that more than 70 percent of schools in Central Oregon meet standards, while more than 90 percent of schools in the Bend-La Pine district are among the top 15 percent of schools in Oregon.
"The report card is pretty complex," Bend-La Pine Schools Superintendent Ron Wilkinson said. "If you've had a chance to look at them, they provide about three pages of information from each school."
The information in the report cards is based off of the OAKS test and some other factors. Much of the information is the same, but reformatted in a more user-friendly way. Other information is brand new.
The report shows overall achievement and growth from year to year. It then breaks that down into subgroup information. Subgroups are groups of students of differing demographics. Subgroups overall achievement and year to year growth is
"So where we have the opportunity to focus improvement efforts is in that subgroup growth," said Linda Seeberg of the Redmond School District. "That is not atypical. That's a place where many schools have room for improvement."
Seeberg also said it was a way to really pinpoint areas that need improvement and groups of children to focus on.
Also new is how schools are rated behind the scenes. Schools are given levels 1 through 5, based on their assessment. Level 1 schools are those in need of the most help and are labeled "priority schools." Level 5 schools are those that are meeting and exceeding standards and are labeled "model schools."
Wilkinson said, "94 percent of our schools received a 4 or 5 rating, and the two that did not showed significant improvement in performance."
Seeberg said, "We felt pretty good for that two-year period about overall achievement and overall growth."
While both school districts were pleased with results, they say they are planning on using the new reports to seek more improvement.
"We're embracing the discomfort that comes with failure, and we see it more as an opportunity," Seeberg said.
"We'll celebrate today and then go back to work," Wilkinson said.
In Central Oregon, Bend's Marshall High School is on the priority schools list, as are three in Jefferson County -- Jefferson County Middle School, Madras High School and Warm Springs Elementary School.
Two La Pine schools -- La Pine and Rosland elementary -- are on the focus schools list, along with Buff Intermediate School in Madras.
The model schools list includes Buckingham and Three Rivers elementary in Bend, and Culver Middle School.

Team Effort Leads Phoenix Over Wichita State
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
WICHITA, Kan. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay women's basketball team (9-2) used a team effort and an explosive second half to defeat Wichita State (6-6) 63-42 in its final nonconference road game of the 2012-13 season. The win featured eight Phoenix players in double-digit minutes and 17 assists on 23 field goals.
"This was a big win over a very athletic team in a hostile environment, and our defense played exceptionally well," head coach Kevin Borseth said.
Green Bay opened the game on an 8-0 run, sparked by threes from seniors Lydia Bauer (Lake Zurich, Ill.) and Adrian Ritchie (De Pere, Wis.). The Shockers responded with a 9-2 run of their own over the next five minutes led by Jessica Diamond, who finished the first half with a team-high nine points.
Both teams struggled from the floor in the first half, with the Phoenix posting a 28% mark and the Shockers hitting just 25% from the field. Bauer led Green Bay with nine first-half points on 3-of-6 shooting from long range, while fellow senior Sarah Eichler (Grafton, Wis.) pitched in eight.
Green Bay shot 77.8 percent (14-18) from the field in the second half, and opened it on a 12-5 run with a turn-around layup by redshirt senior Jenny Gilberton (Wabasha, Minn.). Gilbertson played 24 minutes, tallying five points and five rebounds.
With four fouls each, Ritchie and Eichler were forced to head to the bench with more than 11 minutes remaining. Green Bay's bench, led by redshirt junior Breannah Ranger (Skokie, Ill.) didn't miss a beat while pushing the lead to more than 20 points. The Phoenix held the Shockers scoreless for more than seven minutes late in the half on a 13-0 run, sparked by Ranger's nine points and team-high six rebounds.
"Jenny and Breannah came into this game and rallied the troops, they both played outstanding today and gave us a spark when we needed it the most. Our whole bench had a great game today," Borseth said.
Green Bay held the Shockers to just 29.7 percent from the floor, and allowed the home team to score just seven points over the last 10 minutes of the second half.
Eichler led the Phoenix with 15 points, while Bauer added 11. Ritchie and redshirt Sophomore Megan Lukan (Barrie, Ontario, Can.) added seven points. Lukan also posted seven assists on the day, one shy of tying her career high.
win marked the eighth time this season Green Bay has held an opponent to 50
points or less, and the Phoenix continued its dominance in the paint outscoring
the Shockers 26-6 inside.

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
Dear Vincent and Dickson:
I am retired (40 years in computers) and so I have lots of time to study
anything that interests me. It's good brain exercise and I simply loved
the 3 shows on Trichinella worms. What a fantastic job of explaining a
truly incredible piece of evolutionary 'design' - and the work of a
brilliant scientist who figured much of it out. Twip 3-5 is right up
there with Edward G. Robinson in Dr. Ehrlich's Magic Bullet. Following
along with the sketches etc. on the website was great. Vincent asked all
the right questions just as I got confused, which made it feel like I
was there one on one with Dick. I didn't feel I needed to have any
pre-knowledge. Simply a perfect presentation! Nothing like the biology
classes that bored me in high school.
My road to TWIP began by looking for interesting mp3s for my daily
walks. I found twit with Leo Laport. which led to futures in biotech
where one or both of you had been a guest.
Next was twiv which fascinated me because the study of viruses and all
that DNA and RNA stuff was so reminiscent of when I would solve computer
problems by getting out the machine code debugger. None of the younger
guys know that old stuff anymore (they're all 2 layers higher up). But,
just like in a virus, if you know the exact instruction that caused the
problem, you could walk your way back up to the higher level and find a
fix - i.e. intervene and cure the bug. Not always so simple, of
course, sometimes you had to be clever and think of ways to force the
bug out into the open or look at the preceding steps, but the idea seems
similar to the techniques Dick described, especially the "sync" trick he
used. That was a cool one.
For what it's worth, you guys would have made marvelous system geeks,
maybe working in some shop in Taiwan reverse engineering the latest
chips. After all, it seems that's what you're doing. You're working out
the APIs of life, without a manual by watching the ins and outs and
reading the machine code.
I can't help wondering why Dick didn't try to sell his idea in the
marketplace - the one about how to possibly cure diabetes described in
twip 4. Maybe some wealthy person with a child who has the disease might
become interested as a sponsor.
Well, now we have the internet and TWIP, so perhaps this is the best way
to reach out with your ideas. I hope someone takes the ball given the
tremendous lead you've given him or her and solves this problem. Maybe a
Craig Ventor researcher will hear your idea and code up a new bacteria
with some genes taken from Trichinella.
After all, just as computer tech is nearly all software today so it
seems biology has become a variant of IT (e.g. Ventor's Bacteria Shell).
I expect to see a Visual Biology program in the not too distant future -
just click and drag to insert a Sinusoid creating protein.
Regards, and thanks for the great brain exercises!

Dear Professors, thank you very much for your fine podcasts. I'm a physicist, about the age of Dr. Racaniello, but my career since graduate school has been in public policy, not academia. Since I never took the time to study parasitology, your conversations are new and often astonishing to me - the world is truly wondrous.
And my two questions: First, in your (fairly) recent podcast on pinworms, Professor Despommier explained that each mammalian species seems to have their own pinworm. Do the other mammals also show a clearing of their pinworm parasites at a time analogous to puberty? Or is that an unusual characteristic of our human-pinworm relationship?
Second, a broader question suggested by an odd - to me - phenomenon in insect parasitism: As you probably know, parasitic relationships among insects are quite common. The most familiar are various small wasps (hymenoptera) that parasitize the caterpillars of moths or butterflies (lepidoptera), and which are often useful in controlling lepidoptera pests. The United States often searches for such a native parasite of newly introduced, economically damaging moths, and introduces them to control the moths
In some cases though, even the right parasitic wasp, effective in its native range, doesn't effectively control a new, invasive species of moth in a new region. Hyperparasitism is quite common in these insects - there are yet more species of parasitic wasps which parasitize a range of other wasps parasitizing the caterpillars in a region. They search out the eggs or larvae of the wasps laid in or on a caterpillar, and the hyperparasitizing wasps then infect those eggs or larvae. This can, too commonly, reduce the population density of the wasps parasitizing the caterpillars, and render them ineffective in reducing the number of caterpillars.
Does this occur more broadly? That is, do any of the human parasites you will cover have their own parasites? If they did, or could, that would seem to offer a different path to controlling our parasites.
Finally, on your rate for creating new podcasts - please continue to produce them at whatever rate you can tolerate! I am quite willing to wait to hear your conversations, and would rather wait longer to have more than to have you burn out trying to meet some schedule.
Take care,

Hello professors,
I saw this paper in Cell Host and Microbe where the authors have captured a movie of a malaria parasite invading a blood cell by using a combination of heparin and E60 to boost the number of events. The paper, itself, I believe is closed access, but the movie is available through this New Scientist article:
Thought it might work well as a pick of the week for twip. Thanks so much for opening up the world of parasites to me through this podcast.

Hey! Just listened to twip#21, where you said, that the only way to verify, if Ascaris lumbricoides inhibits growth in humans would be to infect a bunch of kids with it and watch them grow (which wouldn't be ethically acceptable). I don't think that this is the only way. Because we have areas with high worm infections already, the incidence of worm infections in an area should be inversely correlated to average height of people living in that area (of course, we should correct for dietary factors etc, but we should know the data for those factors by now)
Keep it up

Re: Sakura-oni Springtime
SAKURA-ONI SPRINGTIME by Spiritgreen
Surprise snack-attack!
Japanese folklore has all kinds of monster tales, from living trees to different kinds of oni (devils) - but the Sakura-oni has not been documented until now.
As young couples take advantage of the romantic cherry blossom season to picnic in the parks of Kyoto and Honshu, the sakura-oni awaken from their hibernation, ready to snack on the unwary. Remember to pack this shirt on your next vacation to Japan.
Here's are some details. Please do not make eye contact with the sakura-oni!:
This shirt uses 6 colors on creme.
Thanks so much for looking! :^)

Re: Sundrops
My first re-sub (hey, the derby was 40 weeks ago!) It was hard for me to change the colours, because I really enjoyed the red on brown. But I've had a kick for cranberry shirts recently, and figured, this would more than do. Also, I've adjusted the layout just a bit.
Anyways, here's the copy from the original sub:
The Sun continually shines, whether it be upon us, or not. And let us take every ray of Sun with a bright heart and a grateful mind, and remember that the Sun isn't shining on someone else, so that it can shine on you. Let us breathe in every drop of Sun that life gives us, and relax, knowing that if it ever leaves us, it shall return. Make the most of your life, and every drop of sun.

Helping to save lives: Germany continues to substantially support the Global Fund
Germany remains committed to the fight against three of the world's most devastating diseases: AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. At today's replenishment conference for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM) the German government pledges up to 600 million euros for the next three years.
German Development Minister Dirk Niebel said, "Germany considers international cooperation in the health sector a high priority. We are going to further increase our development cooperation in this sector over the next few years. Germany has considerable experience and strengths with regard to strengthening health sys-tems, sexual and reproductive health, mother-child health, HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis."
Germany's contribution to the replenishment of the Global Fund in 2011 will therefore be 200 million euros. The Minister went on to say that the German government will pledge a further 200 million euros each for the years 2012 and 2013, subject to the necessary budget requirements being put in place.
With today's pledge, the overall German contribution to the Global Fund will total 1.5 billion euros (approx. 2 billion USD).

Used the Loos PT-3 guage and found fore and aft stay at 20% breaking strength and shrouds at 5%. Gauge works great, took 5 minutes to do this. Also measured tenstions easily while sailing.
Now I need to work on bringing tensions up in the shrouds.
One question for those that have used a Loos gauge. The gauge is calibrated for 304 stainless. If I have 316 wire, do I need to use a correction factor?

|There is probably 1 1/4" of solid glass on top of the header now, so I'm really not worried about any failure there BUT, as you say, any deflection would have an effect on rigging tension. I'm just thinking about when I go offshore and run into a real extended pounding if a post would offer any additional measure of safety. It would sit right in the forward V-berth doorway but I use this mostly for storage anyway. If anyone wanted to sleep up there they'd have to be skinny

I have thought about making some kind of removable post to go right under where the mast sits and down right to the keel...a lolly column of sorts...for long, rough passages.

Reason for deck step is that boat (S&S34) originally from Fremantle Austrailia where they need to lower the mast to go under some bridges to return to port. I will check my tension on the fore stay. The thing that surprises me with the deck step is that I figure I will have about 13,000 lbs down ward force on a 5inch x 5 inch wood copression post.- That seems like a lot- I surprised these compresion post do not fail.

The right tension here is the first step in getting the rig balanced. On deck-stepped masts like mine, it's important to get it just right to avoid too much down-pressure on the deck. (A note: I've completely done away with any balsa core here and have made the entire area around the mast step solid glass. I don't know why these builders even thought about cored decks under mast steps because it seems like none of them ever hold up over time.) As far as the 40%, I bet it's to eliminate as much metal fatigue as possible when the headsail is moving about. The amount of abuse the forestay takes what with the furler foils rotating around and the genoa movement always scares me. My headstay is 9/32, wish it were even larger but there's no way to change to 5/16 without changing the furler.

I too have a T-37 and have used the selden folding rule method on the backstay to supposely set tension on the furling headstay. I'm still not certain if that tension gets transmitted to the headstay if the mast is beefy. For example undo the headstay and then look up the mast. I can detect no bending what so ever with the headstay undone and with 20% on that backstay. Not sure what spars you have, but mine are keel steped New Zealand spars. Best Regards.
Cutter rigs with TWO stays in front of the mast are an ENTIRELY different 'animal' from a simple rigged sloop with one stay in front of the mast. The problem is with a cutter you have TWO stays reacting to a SINGLE backstay, Intermediate stays to react with the forestay (that stay thats immediately in front of the mast) .... and worse the sails in the foretriangle are of different areas and differing aerodynamic functions and reactions TO the stays on which they are mounted.
The FUNCTIONAL problem with a cutter is: if the larger headsail becomes windloaded it reacts by 'transferring' part of it load to the smaller forestay (in proportion to the aerodynamic forces generated by each sail ... and the staysail 'under' a 'topsail' isnt going to have the same aerodynamic forces being generated as if it were flying 'alone') .... and the headstay becomes 'more slack' as a result. With a slack headstay a cutter rig will not 'point', will heel over aggressively and will be slow as hell and start 'slipping off to leeward' when going upwind. The net result is an extremely complicated rig tension problem ... and with MANY 'variables' acting at the same time.
Soooo ... I first set up the rig like it were a sloop 15% in caps, 4 lowers and backstay/headstay ..... intermediates and forestay at 0%. then readjust forward and aft lowers to get at least 1/2" mast prebend.
THEN 'work-up' in increments the forestay and intermediates to ~10-12%. You DO NOT want more than 10-12% on an intermediate or you risk pulling the chainplate off of its knee attachment. Final 'tune' of my 'basic' setting is to put the backstay at ~20% and 'leave it' (If I were circumnavigating, that backstay would be at ~15%).
With the 'basic' cutter rig tune as above ........
When needing to "point"/beat, I watch how the headstay sag to leeward is matching the luff hollow curve (where the luff hollow curve 'should' be . see 'article' listed below) and either slack off the forestay and/or when in 'normal' ≤15kts. apply running-backstay tension!!!!! .... alternatively its easier just to run forward and slack the forestay down to 3-5% (a good guess) !!!!!!! with such 'adjustments' the boat will 'stand up' with less heel, take off like a rocket, and point like a banshee.
With the 'normally unloading' slack headstay you will be tacking through 95-105°, with a tight headstay / loose forestay you can easily sail to well over 35-40° apparent ... (and sheet the yankee 'inside' the cap shrouds if you want and without 'pinching' or 'barberhaul' the headsail/yankee !!!!!). Slacking off the forestay will 'transfer' most of the backstay (15-20%) to the headstay.
When going downwind, I keep a taught forestay ... as downwind it makes NO difference (relatively) how much the headstay goes slack.
When sailing in BLAMMO conditions ... with no headsail, a staysail + deep reefed main ... I bring the forestay full TIGHT, upwind or down.
Cutters really need to be able to continuously adjust FORESTAY tension ... according to the present wind and seastate condition .... but of course while watching the 'rest of the rig' so that nothing goes much over 30% tension for accelerating 'fatigue' considerations.
Bob Perry, I think, has addressed all the 'tension', etc. complexity issues on cutters with: "Simply sail them like a sloop" .... which means to me get rid of the forestay/staysail/intermediates when sailing in normal conditions (slacking/removing) ... and only use the 'excess' when in Blammo or survival conditions.
I still occasionally race my Ty37, am a 'fanatic' even when 'cruising' and therefore dont mind doing all the on-the-fly rigging and sail changes.
Here's the link that refers to 'matching the 'cut' of the luff to the sag of the headstay .... applies to ALL sails that are attached to 'stays' ... cutter or sloop, make no difference. If anyone cant read this 'article' give me a PM and Ill reply with an email copy. http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/...LuffHollow.gif
If you want to get a cutter rig to 'point' that headstay HAS TO BE taught .... and I think that the forestay has to be SLACK as the 'easiest' way to auto-tighten the headstay. Headstay + forestay does NOT equal one backstay (in tension-speak) but enough load for TWO bacskstays. 15% + 15% = 30% ..... and thats at or near the 'fatigue endurance limit' for 300 series stainless.
MOST times you dont 'need' 15% in a forestay so why do it as it only automatically slacks off the headstay?
hope this helps. ;-)
