"You mean I've been set up?""No, not really, but maybe. Dad will explain on Saturday."Waiting in Line on SaturdayI was ready to face him and I was prepared. Even my real dad was angry with him. My real dad, the one I call the poor one, thought that my rich dad was violating child labor laws and should be investigated.My educated poor dad told me to demand what I deserve. At least 25 cents an hour. My poor dad told me that if I did not get a raise, I was to quit immediately."You don't need that damned job anyway," said my poor dad with indignity.At 8 o'clock Saturday morning, I was going through the same rickety door of Mike's house."Take a seat and wait in line," Mike's dad said as I entered. He turned and disappeared into his little office next to a bedroom."And you don't?" I asked."No, not really," said rich dad. "If you want to learn to work for money, then stay in school. That is a great place to learn to do that. But if you want to learn how to have money work for you, then I will teach you that wow power leveling. But only if you want to learn.""Wouldn't everyone want to learn that" I asked."No," said rich dad. "Simply because it's easier to learn to work for money, especially if fear is your primary emotion when the subject of money is discussed.wow gold""I don't understand," I said with a frown. buy wow gold for cheap ..."Don't worry about that for now. Just know that it's fear that keeps most people working at a job. The fear of not paying their bills.wow gold, The fear of being fired.wow gold, The fear of not having enough money. The fear ofstarting over. That's the price of studying to learn a profession or trade, and then working for money. Most people become a slave to money... that is wow power leveling web page for cheap wow power leveling, and then get angry at their boss.""Learning to have money work for you is a completely different course of study?" I asked."Absolutely," rich dad answered, "absolutely."I looked around the room and did not see Mike anywhere. Feeling awkward, I cautiously sat down next to the same two women who where there four weeks earlier. They smiled and slid across the couch to make room for me.Forty-five minutes went by, and I was steaming. The two women had met with him and left thirty minutes earlier. An older gentleman was in there for twenty minutes and was also gone.The house was empty, and I sat out in his musty dark living room on a beautiful sunny Hawaiian day, waiting to talk to a cheapskate who exploited children. I could hear him rustling around the office, talking on the phone, and ignoring me. I was now ready to walk out, but for some reason I stayed.Finally, fifteen minutes later, at exactly 9 o'clock, rich dad walked out of his office, said nothing, and signaled with his hand for me to enter his dingy office."I understand you want a raise or you're going to quit," rich dad said as he swiveled in his office chair.

A highly rated, steadily emerging midfield prospect at the Club, Irishman Patrick enjoyed another good year last season.
He progressed to the Under-19s, scoring four times in 21 appearances, and also stepped up to the reserves, playing six times at that level, as well as two FA Youth Cup games.
The Irish Youth International is happy as a holding midfielder, but also excels when going forward.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

'Buffalo Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier addressed the media Monday, discussing the upcoming NHL Entry Draft in Montreal, the free-agency landscape and the team's offseason needs.'
Archives for June 2009
Regier Press Conference
Spacek wants to remain with Buffalo, but…
'"Once July 1 comes, it isn't like we're precluded from speaking to Buffalo," he said.'
Sabres GM Regier is feeling a bit of heat
'"I think that's out there every year," he said. "The only difference is the degree that it's out there. I've dealt with that in the past and will deal with it going forward. … I honestly don't spend a lot of time worrying about what other people think. I certainly respect what other people think, but there's a job to do and that's got to be the focal point."'
Sabres interested in re-signing D Spacek
'"It would be nice if we could find some way to get something done," Regier said.'
Fix hockey department, bring on Bouwmeester and the kids
'If I can't land Bouwmeester, there are options that would allow me to improve the blue line and leave money to spend elsewhere. Good players should be available in the trade market with so many teams bumped against the cap. The Sabres could use another center and more offense off the wing. The team was 17th in scoring but the current group would generate more offense with a puck-moving defenseman.'
Tough guys on first line will set tone for Sabres
'I don't care if they're lined up against Sidney Crosby and Joe Thornton, or Chris Neil and Donald Brashear. They're starting. They're setting the tone. People think my squad is soft? Wait till your ear drums pound when Kaleta rattles someone off the boards 10 seconds into the game. Wait till Gaustad drives the crease at the 30-second mark, showing the goaltender what's coming all night.'
Part of top exec's job is getting out of the way
'And ownership better be thinking two steps ahead. To wit, I ask this: What if this team is sitting, say, 12th in the East come Thanksgiving week? Is ownership prepared to make the decisions — and pay the money necessary — if a coaching change turns out to be in order? Better be. Same for a GM change.'
Financial challenges face Buffalo Sabres
'A new Business First study ranks Buffalo among the six National Hockey League markets that face the most imposing barriers to long-term financial success.'
The goal that wasn't, 10 years later
'"Everybody does remember that," McKee conceded. "There was a GM this year talking about the video system, and he mentioned how Brett Hull scored a goal that shouldn't have counted. Even people outside of Buffalo or just our team know it as well, and that certainly stings a bit. But you can't live and worry about things that didn't go your way in the past."'
Aaron Portzline looks ahead: Buffalo
'The Sabres simply don't have the budget or cap room to spend too much more on forwards.'
Sabres 2009 draft preview
'As a team, the Sabres have not been able to impose their will on their opponent. The organization has not put a premium on big, physical forwards over the past several seasons. With Drew Stafford a restricted free agent this season, the trend may continue.'
Canadian fans may not abandon Sabres
'"My tickets are about half the price to what comparable seats would be in the Air Canada Centre [in Toronto]," Talosi says. "They are the nicest seats you can get without being in a [luxury] box. A pair probably works out to about $100, $110 per seat, and for every pair you get a parking pass for the [lot] attached to the arena."'
Hamilton councillor threatens boycott of Sabres, Leafs
'"For the last 30 years, Hamilton's been very active in trying to obtain an NHL team," Merulla said Thursday. "In 1990, the last time we were even remotely close to obtaining a team, we always were very suspicious that Buffalo and Toronto played a significant role – behind closed doors – in preventing us from getting a team."'
Councillor asks Sabres to back team
'Nonetheless, a Hamilton city councillor isn't pleased with the lack of chatter. Sam Merulla, who represents Ward 4, has issued a release calling for the Sabres to back a team in his city or risk facing a boycott.'
Prostate cancer event to feature Ruff, Robitaille
'Ruff is the guest speaker, and Robitaille will moderate a panel discussion featuring prostate cancer experts.'

All American Muslim goes all 9/11
posted at 9:10 am on December 30, 2011 by Jazz Shaw
A few weeks ago we covered the brewing controversy surrounding TLC's new series, "All American Muslim" after the Florida Family Association called for a boycott of the program and Lowe's pulled their advertising. While some critics claim that the show isn't truly "representative" of Muslims in America, the producers have put forward an episode which hits the question of terrorism, etc. in a more direct fashion. Here's a short clip of local law enforcement officer Mike Jaafar sharing his feelings about the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
The controversy surrounding the show has spread beyond the Florida conservative group which began it. Just this week, as Jim Hoft reports, WordPress took down the blog Bare Naked Islam, which had been calling for the show's cancellation. (Though the reasons cited by WordPress don't specifically include a reference to the show.) They were also getting attacked from the Left, as PETA blasted them over one woman's decision to give up her ten year old dog.
Lining up on the opposite side of the aisle, hip hop artist Russell Simmons took the side of the show, being joined by Mia Farrow. He called for a boycott of Lowe's, (though I'm not sure what that's supposed to accomplish) and bought advertising time during the broadcast himself.
So has the show benefited in the form of higher ratings amid all the Sturm und Drang, as I speculated it might earlier this month? The premier episode actually did fairly well, with more than 1.7 million viewers and a .9 overall rating, though it dropped nearly 50% over the next couple of weeks. The impact on the ratings from these stories seems to be… not so much.
TLC's 'All-American Muslim': Controversy Does Not Equal Ratings
It would appear members of the conservative Florida Family Association are among the few actually paying attention to TLC's All-American Muslim.
The reality series about Muslim families living in suburban Detroit, which lost advertising from Lowe's and other brands after FAA condemned it as propaganda, is languishing in the ratings.
Only five episodes into its first season, the series ranked 78th among Sunday's cable broadcasts for Dec. 11. With only 908,000 viewers and a 0.3 rating among adults 18-49, it's being easily outperformed by series like History's American Pickers, Discovery's Moonshiners and its latest lead-in, Little People Big World: Holiday Surprise.
We're still waiting for the confirmed numbers for the last episode, but the trend lines don't seem to indicate that all of the shouting over the subject matter is causing viewers to come back in droves.

|MARTZY: A good sugestion would be to install a battery disconnect switch. The little switch with a turn knob on top are less than five dollars at a swap meet. To tell if you need shims they say to use a paper clip between the starter drive gear and flex plate. You can use a srew driver to pull the starter bendix out which will push the starter gear out onto the flexplate. That is where you make your clearance measurement. If the starter motor stayed engaged electrically then you had a short in the solenoid circuit. You should be able to check that with a light or voltmeter to see if there is 12 volts on coil side of solenoid when you turn key to start, it should drop off when you go to run position. If that checks out okay then do voltage check on power side of solenoid and see if there is 12 volts on power terminals when there is no power on coil. For the starter to stay engerized all the time there has to be a short in the solenoid as it is the only thing in the circuit between battery and starter ground. You know years ago when they had cranks you never would of had this problem. Let us know what you found. GOOD LUCK DAVE E SHANK
Burned out my new starter! Why?
Replaced a starter for a 305 GM engine, Manual transmission, used no shims.
When I put in the clutch & turned the key, the starter started cranking, when I turned the key to the run position, and then to off, and released the clutch, the starter just kept cranking. As the battery was running down, I tried to disconnect the terminals, but, too late the starter stopped, and burned out a spot on the armature.
What happened?
1. Short in the wiring?
2. No shims caused the starter drive gear to bind into the flywheel gear and kept the solenoid engaged?
3. Any other ideas?
What is best way to tell what shims are needed, on a setup in the car already?
I have heard that you need a paper clip to fit in the valley between the gears on the drive and the flywheel.... How do you see in there? What has to be removed?

Perhaps, an historian in the coming years will be able to decipher the Bush policy toward North Korea and explain it in terms that make sense of what Bush has or has not been doing. Initially, the president indicated he would not pursue the Clinton initiative towards the North Korean government, but after a few years of deadlock and no progress, Bush switched and said he would negotiate with the Pyongyang government. However, despite agreement by North Korea to allow UN inspectors into investigate and their promise to dismantle nuclear weapon programs, Bush refused to take the name of North Korea off the terrorist regime list.
A few weeks ago, the North Koreans announced they would cease dismantling nuclear weapons and they wanted UN inspectors out of their country. Yesterday, President Bush told the world that North Korea was off the terrorist list. Within hours, the North Korean government said it would resume dismantling nuclear weapons and their foreign ministry made clear, "we welcome the US's decision to honor its commitment to remove us from the list of state sponsors of terrorism."
Naturally, this latest mess of confusion could have been avoided if Bush simply had agreed to do what he initially said–remove their names from the terrorist list for agreeing to dismantle nuclear weapons and allow inspection. Why does it always take Bush five mistakes before he does the logical thing?

UTEP Rallies Past Southern Miss, 60-55
Feb. 10, 2013
Anete Steinberga posted a monstrous double-double (17 points, 16 rebounds), and UTEP used a 12-0 run over the final 1:47 to soar past Southern Miss, 60-55, in front of a season-best 4,501 fans at the Don Haskins Center Sunday afternoon.
Things looked bleak with the Golden Eagles (12-10, 4-5 C-USA) leading 55-48 with less than two minutes to play, but the Miners (18-4, 6-3 C-USA) were not done. Kayla Thornton, who also had a double-double (14 points, 11 boards), got the comeback started with a layup with 1:47 to play, and head coach Keitha Adams quickly called a timeout to set up a press.
What ensued was pure madness, with the Miners forcing three turnovers in a 25-second span. Steinberga had the first theft, and she then took it strong to the hoop. The shot rimmed out, but Chrishauna Parker, who finished with nine points, five assists and 11 boards, was there to tip it in and make it 55-52 in favor of Southern Miss with 1:35 to play.
Rather than call timeout, Southern Miss hurriedly tried to push the ball up the court. Thornton read it perfectly, picking off a pass by Jamierra Faulker. She then cleaned up Irene Gari's misfire with one of the Miners' 17 second-half offensive boards, and put it up and in to get her squad within one (55-54) with 1:22 on the clock.
With the visitors in complete panic mode, Parker came up with the final steal of the sequence. Adams wisely called timeout to set up a play for Steinberga. The senior got good position in the paint, delivering an old-fashioned three-point play to complete the wild sequence with the Miners suddenly leading, 57-55, with 57 seconds left in the contest.
The defense delivered four more stops, and UTEP connected on a trio of free throws to account for the final five-point margin of victory.
"We were struggling all day and down by seven in the last two minutes," Adams said. "We got some big steals that led to some easy baskets. It was a gut check and we played hard until the very end to pull it out. It was a hard-fought game and a great win."
While UTEP finished at 35.3 percent (24-of-68) from the floor, there were plenty of positives to take away. The Miners drilled 44.3 percent (13-of-29) in the opening half. They then drilled 5-of-8 over the first three minutes of the second half, which helped them extend the two-point cushion (31-29) at the break to eight (41-33) with 17:02 to play.
A drys pell ensued, but UTEP was able to position itself for the comeback through its work on the glass and also by limiting its turnovers. The Miners outrebounded USM, 52-37, while also enjoying advantages in points in the paint (30-20), off turnovers (13-5) and of the second-chance variety (13-5). They also had just 10 turnovers against a high-pressure defense.
Gari contributed 11 points, her second-best effort since the start of league play, while also grabbing five rebounds. Kelli Willingham pitched in 7 points and three assists, but more importantly did a good job of ball handling against constant Southern Miss pressure.
Southern Miss was led by Tanecka Carey (19 points) and Faulkner (17 points) but no other player finished with more than six points. It was limited to 35.7 percent from the floor (20-of-56), though it did nail 7-of-14 from three-point range.
UTEP will be on the road for a pair of games in the coming week. The Miners will play at Marshall at 5 p.m. MST Thursday while challenging UCF at 12 p.m. MST on Feb. 17.

I recently repaired the headlights on a 1930 Ford the customer had cleaned up the ground and still couldn't get the headlights to consistently stay on...it wasn't until I ran a seperate ground to the headlights that they remained on. I believe we are saying the same thing just different ways to go about it.
|EOD Guy
While I'll agree a good ground is most important, I disagree with the advice given above...... Make sure the ground you currently have is in fact making good, clean and tight contact with the engine block. That is your main ground period! you should run a grounding strap to the frame but not to ground the starter, you are correct the starter gets it's ground from the block.
If your current ground cable is in bad shape .... replace it.
Here is how I'd trouble shoot this
If it's a 4 studed solenoid make you you didn't switch the "I" wire and the "S" wires on the solenoid. "S" wire should be purple and the "I" wire should be white or off yellow
If it's a 3 studed solenoid.....
a. Use a screw driver and jump across the battery cable stud on the starter and the actual motor stud on the starter.
If the starter doesn't spin, your battery cable is bad or the battery is dead.
b. If the battery is charged...... make sure the neg cable is connected and you have a good ground, then run a jumper cable from the pos post on the battery and touch the other end to the battery cable stud on the starter.
c. if it doesn't spin hook the other jumper cable to the neg post on the battery and connect the other end to one of the starter bolts....... touch the pos jumper cable to the battery stud on the starter. If it doesn't spin, you have a bad starter.
If the starter spins in test a. above but doesn't engage with the key switch........
Run a temp jumper from the pos post on the battery to the small "S" stud on the starter...... if the starter spins the wire from your ing switch has a fault. If the starter doen't spin with the jumper..... you have a fault in the solenoid.

Thank you, OK great, you should read a current thread on this forum to find out how important having a good ground is the thread is:
Engine Grounding Points...
One of the most overlooked items on a vehicle and much time can be spent on a simple fix and I always like to get the simple out of the way first.
|severed head
|ok, thanks. i'll post something tomorrow to let you know if it worked....hopefully its not raining.
|69 widetrack
|Usually when a neutral Safety Switch goes it's gone and doesn't work on sometimes off sometimes so I'd try the ground for the inexpensive reasons I mentioned earlier.
|69 widetrack
|I'm sorry, what's the NSS, OK...just figured out the abreviation... Neutral safety switch...possible, but I'd try the ground first...it doesn't cost anything.
|severed head
|what about the NSS?
|69 widetrack
I guess it did show up on permalink #6
Sorry bout that.
|69 widetrack
For some reason my post didn't show up, I realize that the starter is already grounded, but, if everything tests out fine this is the first place to start. When dealing with electrical, the first rule is make sure that your grounds are solid...Clean a piece of metal off at the frame and try grounding your starter...make sure your contacts are clean...if it works great, if it doesn't you've eliminated a bad ground as the culprit.
Try it and let me know.
|69 widetrack
|I realize that, but, if your starter checks out your not getting consistent current to the starter, very often a ground can look real good and it's intermitent. I'm not saying it's going to solve your situation, what i am saying is that it does sound like a bad ground and this way your eliminating one possibility.
|severed head
|it's already gounded to the alt. bracket to block. and the sterter is grounded to block.
|69 widetrack
Don't use the remote starter, I would try grounding it directly to the frame...10 years ago I had a Cadillac Fleetwood that I couldn't get to run properly, I took it to 3 or 4 reputable mechanical shops, they tried everything and about $1,000.00 later it still ran like crap...I thought about it for a while and took a battery cable and grounded the engine to the frame and it ran like a champ. I don't know if this is going to solve your problem but, if everything has tested out positively it's worth a try...sure would be a cheap fix if all you need to do is ground it to your frame.
Let me know if it works for you, here's hoping.
|severed head
|do you think i should use the remote starter as the 'ground' or have a 10ga. wire direct to negitive terminal?
|69 widetrack
I'm not an elictrianist by any means but, if you have bench tested your starter and it's fine, try running a seperate ground wire to your starter...bad grounds can cause strange events and everything else seems to be working. After you have your seperate ground wire run, and if it starts, try it several times to be sure.
Hope this works for you.

77 C10 stepside electrical problems
Well, here's my story. It's a '77 C10 stepside 350/350 Hydro. My mother bought it for me as a welcome home gift, for coming back from my second tour of duty, from a salvage yard. This was in 2006 and has been running (limping around) just fine....UNTIL NOW! It won't turn over and I had a shop bench test the starter, good. At the time i was stuck in a lot in the dark doing all this and found some freyed wires and tought it would be the problem. i cut and twisted them together for a better connection and it started up first try.
The next day I bought some 10ga. and connectors and repaired it properly and tried to turn it over, nothing.
OH, as I tried to start it so i could move it to the driveway for repair, it didn't start. i retwisted the wires again and it fired up first try.
Now I'm stuck and even with a wiring diagram, dvom, logic probe and a whole lot of frustration.
I had my ol'lady turn it over while I check for power/ground and it's definantly switching but not even a 'click'. The igniotion switch was my first thought, but i can see that my batt is 'under load'. so it has to be working....right?
the next thing i thought it was is the starter sol. I tried to jump it with a button type, and again double checking with my logic probe to make sure that i had power on the batt. side and gound on the other. With koeo and logic probe on the ground side(green LED) I pushed the button and nothing....BUT, i got a red LED signifying that it sent power through. Am i missing something?
please help,
Cpl. boyd

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
This term at Multnomah University was marked by the launch of two new teacher endorsement programs: Reading Specialist and ESOL (English to Speakers of Other Languages). These endorsements are for individuals who hold a teaching license and wish to broaden their qualifications and become further equipped to serve the student population.
Both endorsements are designed to enable teachers to work strategically in high-needs areas by giving teachers the latest in instructional content and methodology in working with students at risk and children whose first language is not English.
Classes for the Reading Specialist and ESOL endorsements are held late afternoons and evenings to enable those currently working to attend.
Three Benefits for Teachers to Add Endorsements
"Multnomah believes that its mission is to prepare Christians to impact their world in both church-related and marketplace ministries," Dr. Debi Miller, director of Teacher Education at Multnomah University said. "Schools of all kinds-public and private-are filled with students who struggle to read, who struggle with understanding the basic concepts being taught through language. Whether these are native English speakers who struggle with literacy, or 'English as a second language' speakers learning English for the first time, we want to further equip teachers to open the world of learning for these students."
"At Multnomah we want to prepare teachers who think critically, act compassionately, and work strategically to address these needs as part of their calling to love God and love people. That is why we added these endorsement programs to our Teacher Education program," Dr. Miller said.

A24 Are The New Hipster Tastemakers Of Hollywood
In the last several years, critics and cinema junkies have begun to view the A24 logo as a reliable seal of quality. While much of the film industry seems dominated by sequels and comic book spin-offs, A24 has consistently managed to find an audience for a wide array of smaller film projects, while also attracting major hollywood star power to their casts. The 2017 Oscars were a major turning point for the studio after Moonlight took home best picture. But while you may be privy to the powerful artistry of Moonlight, here's what you've been missing if you've been sleeping on their other films.

10 Misconceptions About Public Relations!
This article first appeared as a Blog for SCoRe, India's first independent school of Public Relations www.scoreindia.org From clientèle to young professionals, and across the external world at large, the world of public relations (PR) gives a different idea to everyone. These ideas are usually misplaced; thanks to pop culture references and a prima facie knowledge of the profession. Those who are fortunate enough to come closer to the world of PR (or become a part of it) and see the reality, may receive the real picture either as a pleasant epiphany or as a complete shock. Till a few years ago I was equally unfamiliar to it. For the benefit of other less informed, I am listing down some misconceptions that I have realised some people to hold about PR. You may have observed several more, and I invite you to add to this list.

You Cannot Be A Celebrity Because You Are Too Lazy
Have you ever met any online celebrities in your life? What are they look like? I have met once. Well, there do exist differences between online and real life when you see them. Some PS on photos, like over slim body, heavy make up, or just fake height. Don't you think those celebrities are very similar? No matter Western or Eastern, too easy to conclude their common traits. However, why we cannot be a celebrity, even though we have high participations on social media? To sum up, it is because they post everything. They updates very frequently and spend plenty of time to edit their post. However, most people are too lazy to post.

Reinvention attendees couldn't get enough of Michelle Kaufmann, AIA, LEED AP. They'd listened to her speech Tuesday morning on the "Changing the Paradigm: Alternative Methods in Residential Design and Construction" panel. Then they heard about her many accomplishments at the Leadership Awards lunch, where residential architect editor S. Claire Conroy presented her with the magazine's Top Firm prize. But on Tuesday afternoon, a standing-room-only crowd of architects piled into the San Jacinto East room here at the Four Seasons Austin, to hear her insights into the relative affordability—or not—of modular houses.
Kaufmann didn't disappoint. She opened with a personal story about having worked for Michael Graves, FAIA, who had raised eyebrows in the 1990s when he began designing affordable household objects. "He was one of the first to say that everyone should have good design," she pointed out.
Now that Kaufmann has adopted that mission for herself, she often finds herself answering questions about the cost comparison between prefab and stick-built homes. She gave attendees a straightforward look at the construction time differences between one of her prefabs (4 months) and an identical stick-built house (14 months.) Similarly, she provided hard numbers about the costs of her different product levels. She said her preconfigured homes cost $140 per square foot to $175 per square foot to build in California, without site costs. Her custom prefabs cost $400 per square foot and up, and her multifamily units cost $100 per square foot to $125 per square foot. "Prefab will not cost more than site-built," she said. "In many cases it will cost less. But we need to rethink how we think about cost." She pointed out that holding costs are lower because of the shortened timeline of a prefab build, and, when built, the sustainable qualities of her homes make them less expensive to operate. She also mentioned her idea of Nutrition Labels for Homes, as a means of comparing the operating costs of one house versus another. (To learn about the "Sustainability Facts" labeling program Kaufmann has proposed for homes, click here.)
Accompanied by Charlie Lazor (another prefab pioneer and designer of the FlatPak house whom Kaufmann invited up on stage toward the end of the program) she patiently answered questions about prefab processes and pitfalls. And she listed off her most important pieces of advice. "Plan the business like a startup—don't think from the architect's point of view. Be fearless. Be adaptable."

|PwC xTREME Games
|Seven School of Business teams make presentations on a merger and acquisition case
To buy or build? Should the company expand into a new product line by purchasing another company or by developing internally?
That was the merger and acquisition question posed in this year's PricewaterhouseCoopers xTREME Games, a nationwide tax and accounting campus competition. For the first time, seven teams from Ithaca College participated.
In its presentation to a three-judge panel, the winning IC team recommended the fictional global consumer products company Lave enter the "naturals" marketplace by buying the fictional Whole Earth Naturals.
"We used our investigative and creative skills when making this decision," said team member Rebecca Hudson '13, an accounting major. "We learned that decision-making within a team requires extensive collaboration and cooperation among group members."
"I learned what an M&A case would look like at PwC and received some real-life skills by completing a competition that resembles a real company's day-to-day tasks. It was a refreshing change from classroom examples," said Daniel Sottosanti '14, a business administration major.
The winning team receives $1,000 and consideration for the national finals, for which PwC will select five teams after reviewing videotapes of all the winning campus presentations. The competition, begun in 2002, attracted more than 900 teams from 84 colleges and universities in 2010.
PwC requires that each five-member team include a sophomore and a junior and at least three accounting majors. Accounting professor John McKinley, the event's local advisor, selected the members for each IC team.
IC's winning team also included Alex Denner '12, a double major in accounting and business administration; Davin Huang '12, an accounting major; and Nicole Hakimi '13, an integrated marketing communications and writing major in the Park School of Communications with a minor in finance.
"Our team worked well together because we come from a variety of academic backgrounds," said Hakimi.
Huang concurred: "When we were working on the case, non-accounting majors discussed possible solutions that I would have never thought about. It's exactly what the real world is going to be like, working with people from different backgrounds."
Teams were given two weeks to prepare their presentations, which were delivered in closed sessions one evening in late October. Presentations were limited to 12 minutes, with each team member having to speak for at least one minute.
PwC partners put together each year's case. This case contained an eight-page document, beginning with a cover letter from the CFO of Lave, a publicly traded company, to a PwC partner. The company wanted a recommendation on how to expand into the naturals marketplace, either by acquiring the privately held Whole Earth Naturals or building its own business. Seven pages followed with descriptions and financial data on the two companies.
The team weighed the financial and operational risks for Lave.
Whole Earth Naturals was well established, with a strong supply chain, strong resources and a strong brand name. But inventory had built up and collection of receivables was slow, resulting in cash-flow problems. It had negative working capital and a large long-term debt. A recent hurricane in India might mean replacing one of its suppliers.
The team used calculations such as EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), NBV (net book value) and the receivables/turnover ratio to conclude that Lave should purchase Whole Earth Naturals.
"We discovered that upon acquiring WEN, the client could improve some of WEN's financial ratios with simple supply chain integration. We also realized that by selling WEN's receivables, we could reduce our initial investment and even pay off some of WEN's debt," said Hakimi, active in the IC Women in Business Network and founder of a new group, Students Consulting for Nonprofit Organizations.
The team concluded that Lave's return on capital from a purchase would exceed the cost of building its own brand, estimated at at least $500 million, said Hudson.
"We figured that we (Lave) could come in and use our superior management to help transform the company into a much more efficient company," Denner said. "Also we figured we can underpay for this company because of their financial difficulties, thus acquiring essentially a good business for quite less."
Using net present value analysis, Denner created a model to show favorable future cash flows for Lave. Hudson, who has studied mergers and acquisitions, evaluated other benefits of the acquisition. Sottosanti researched the area of India where Whole Earth Naturals had opened its newest manufacturing facility.
PwC says it created the xTREME Games to develop students' skills in critical thinking, presentation, teamwork and time management.
"Not only does it allow students to work on a real-life accounting project, but it allows us to see students at an earlier stage in their college career. The students will get to learn more about PwC, and we, hopefully, get them in our pipeline for internships earlier," said Laura Sobocienski, PwC campus recruiter for Ithaca.
Huang will intern next summer for PwC's industry services group, then study for an MBA in accounting at Ithaca. Denner also plans on a graduate degree in accounting at Ithaca. Sottosanti will intern next summer for Mariner Investment Group in New York City.
Hudson says she's aiming for an internship with PwC.
"This event has sparked my interest, and I plan to take additional finance courses that I previously was not interested in," she said.

The Importance of Voting
I am now officially a member of the National Organization for Women (NOW)! NOW is the largest feminist organization in the country, and has been a huge presence in women's rights advocacy ever since its creation by Betty Friedan in 1966.

Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan during a trip to Germany urged the nation's Chancellor, to create Turkish medium high schools and universities which would deal with education issues related to the 2.7 Turkish immigrants in Germany. Erdogan argued if an individual was first fluent in the Turkish language it would be easier for that person to learn German. "The German government should have no problem with that, whatever needs to be done for integration, should be done." He also wants German high schools to hire more Turkish teachers who he believes will do better with German-Turkish students. Chancellor Merkel's initial reaction was one of surprise and she noted that a good teacher should be able to interact with any child.
Prime Minister Erdogan was visiting Germany in connection with a recent fire in Ludwigshaven which some Turkish immigrants claim was caused by neo-Nazi elements. So far, no evidence of arson has been uncovered. It is interesting that Prime Minister Erdogan is offering advice to other nations regarding education considering he rejects any advice from those of Armenian background concerning their ideas on educating Turkish children about the Armenian Genocide. Chancellor Merkel is correct, a good teacher is able to interact with any child. Focus on teaching and excellent curriculum.

By Chris Harris
Fran Merida marked his first appearance on English soil with a goal to remember as a youthful Arsenal XI eased to victory at Boreham Wood.
The young Spaniard fired a swerving effort into the roof of the net to provide a sizable crowd with some decent Friday night entertainment. The last teenage midfielder to arrive at Arsenal from Spain was Cesc Fabregas; don't be surprised to hear Merida's name quite a lot in the years to come.
Merida scored the goal of the game but Arturo Lupoli was the star of the show. The Italian striker showed he is as lethal as ever in front of goal with two trademark finishes which opened and completed the scoring. Lupoli also provided assists for Merida and Nacer Barazite to give the visitors a strangehold which they never relinquished.
This fixture has become a staple of Arsenal's pre-season programme and, once again, it provided entertaining fare for an enthusiastic Meadow Park crowd.
Seven first-teamers were on show here 12 months ago but, with most of the big names in action in Alkmaar, Neil Banfield's side was packed with young professionals and academy prospects.
There were some notable names on the teamsheet though. The prolific Lupoli led the line, Merida started in midfield and Ryan Garry, blighted by injury for the past three years, was a welcome sight at the heart of defence.
Arsenal's youngsters and the older heads of the Ryman League Premier were well matched in the early stages. Boreham Wood were first to show, Chris Watters twisting and turning before sending in a dangerous cross which bounced off Marvin Samuel's knee. Then Merida, showing some nice touches, played Kieran Gibbs into space on the left. The young winger looked up but failed to pick out Lupoli, haring into the box.
Arsenal almost took the lead in bizarre circumstances after five minutes. Another clever Merida pass picked out Lupoli's run through the centre. Noel Imber raced out of his goal, hammered his clearance against the Italian and was relieved to see the ball bounce wide.
Whatever the circumstances though, Lupoli looked the most likely. His jinking runs and interplay with Gibbs and Jay Simpson bothered the Boreham Wood defence but, for a while at least, Arsenal's final ball was lacking.
That all changed after half-an-hour, although the visitors had to overcome a huge scare before breaking the deadlock. Leon Archer picked out Watters in the left channel and his low cross-shot looked like a formality for Darrell Cox. Instead, the onrushing Boreham Wood midfielder stumbled on the ball three yards out and Rene Steer gratefully cleared the danger.
Cox's head was probably still in his hands when Lupoli raced onto a through ball just seconds later and finished with the coolness we have come to expect.
The Italian had the bit between his teeth and so nearly doubled his tally 10 minutes later. Mark Smith lost concentration and possession just outside his area and Lupoli seized on the chance, only for Imber to stick out a leg and divert his shot wide. Imber was in action again before half time, leaping to tip Nacer Barazite's fierce effort over the crossbar.
Boreham Wood started the second half brightly and almost levelled two minutes after the restart. Chris Bangura's cute flick sent Andre Delisser racing away down the left. He unselfishly cut the ball back to fellow substitute Michael Black, but his low drive was palmed aside by Vito Mannone.
Two minutes later, the home side's prospects took a turn for the worse. Lupoli found Merida in space 25 yards out and the young Spaniard fizzed a swerving shot into the roof of the net past a bemused Imber.
Lupoli turned provider again after 55 minutes. The Italian raced onto a through ball and jinked past Imber. The angle was too narrow to attempt a shot so Lupoli laid the ball back to Barazite. He found the bottom corner with a minimum of fuss.
That ended the game as a contest but it remained eminently watchable. Bangura attempted a cheeky chip which Mannone managed to grab, and substitute Marc Elston converted Lupoli's perfect pass only to see the linesman's flag cut short his celebrations.
Then Lupoli, the outstanding player on show, rounded off a positive night for Arsenal's youngsters with a thumping left-footed finish in the final minute. It was no more than the impressive Italian deserved.

I get regular pedicures and it seems my feet are rough a few weeks later. I know it is the scraping on the sole that causes this. I was skeptical about this unit but have to say it works great, leaves the sole of the foot very smooth. It's easy to use and if you have problem areas using this product several times a week will probably put you in sandals next summer.

Portrait of a Cleric, ca. 1490

Museum purchase with funds from Mrs. Gustav Radeke, Manton B. Metcalf, Museum Works of Art Fund and Museum Appropriation Fund, by exchange, and Museum Special Reserve Fund 45.042
This naturalistic portrait of a man with his hands in prayer is painted with the luminous colors and fine detail typical of painters working in the Netherlands in the 15th century. The appearance of a shaved spot (tonsure) on the crown of the sitter's head indicates that he was a member of a religious order. His gaze, cast to his right, suggests that the portrait formed part of a diptych (two panels hinged in the middle) whose opposing image most likely depicted the Virgin Mary. Representations of this type emphasized the sitter's special intimacy with the Divine, joining the sitter and the object of his devotion in a contiguous space that shares the same light and textures of the natural world. The likeness also functions as a surrogate for the sitter, who by facing the Virgin perpetually re-enacts his devotion to her.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The UNC volleyball squad closed out spring play with a home tournament this past Saturday, April 20, at Carmichael Arena.
The Tar Heels hosted Charlotte, Duke, NC State, and William & Mary for a 10-match tournament, in which they finished 2-1-1.
Carolina's Results:
- Split with NC State: 30-32, 25-14
- Defeated Charlotte: 25-11, 25-15
- Defeated William & Mary: 25-23, 25-18
- Lost to Duke: 23-25, 22-25
The Tar Heels finished 5-3 in their matches, hitting .273 as a team. Chaniel Nelson and Lauren Adkins each recorded 19 kills, and Paige Neuenfeldt and Kayla Berringer each tallied 15 kills while Victoria McPherson added 14. Heather Gearhart had 30 digs while playing as the libero.
"This was the last competitive play for the spring season, and I thought we showed some good improvement in areas of our game, but we still have some ways to grow as a team," head coach Joe Sagula said. "I thought Jordyn Schnabl had a great day and a good week of practice leading up to our home event. Her release was smooth, and she made some good decisions and looked like the leader of our offense. Heather Gearhart did a nice job filling in as the libero for our veteran Ece Taner, who was not able to play this weekend. Playing in the 6-2 offense at times allowed Kayla Berringer and Hayley McCorkle to get extra experience as right side attackers as well."
"Our middle hitters once again were impressive early in the day, and each of our outside hitters had good runs at times. What we are still searching for is consistency on the court in our passing, and the leadership to make plays down the stretch in close games. This will develop in time as this team gains more and more experience."
"I feel that we are playing at a high level at times, and with great athleticism, but we need to continue to mature as a team in order to compete for a championship level next fall. I like the progress we have made. We are strong and getting better each day we play, and I look forward to the challenges for the 2013 season," Sagula said.
Stay tuned to GoHeels.com for more information on the 2013 Carolina volleyball season.

The soils in our vineyards are composed partly of rubble which has eroded from the Andes mountains and deposited by glaciers and wind, and partly of alluvial sand and silt deposited by the river. While stony, gravely soils are regarded as poor for most crops, their excellent drainage qualities make them perfect for wine growing. The climate is semi-arid (average annual rainfall is 80-100 mm) making drip irrigation indispensable during the spring and summer months.
Climatic factors have a crucial influence on the quality and flavour of wine. With the majestic Andes as a backdrop, their peaks gleaming white all through the summer, the vineyards benefit from currents of cold air which descend from the high mountains at night. They cool the vineyards, causing a dramatic contrast between day and night time temperatures during the ripening season, from 27-32°C (80.6-89.6°F) to 10-12°C (50-53.6°F). This has the result of reducing respiration via the leaches and thereby furthering the accumulation of sugar in the grapes as well as the synthesis of polyphenols (tannins and coloring matter) along with the aroma and flavour substance.

Notable FactsThe main regions of Chile include Maipo (pronounced MY-poh), known for reds like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere; Casablanca Valley, a region producing delicious Sauvignon Blanc, as well as other whites & some reds; Colchaugua, an inland district creating amazing red wines from Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, particularly in the Apalta sub-region; and Rapel Valley, settled right under Maipo and producing the same red varietals. A couple of smaller regions to watch include Limari and Elqui, two valleys further north, producing some delicious cool-climate Chardonnay and Bio Bio, an area further south, which is also focused on cool-climate varieties. Chilean wines are growing in exports and more consumers are enjoying the delicious values coming from the country. Red wines of the region, though they cannot be generalized, make the whole gamut of wine quality – quaffable to collectible. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot & Carmenere are the main players, though Syrah is also making a splash. Some of the best reds are blends of the above varieties. As for whites, Sauvignon Blanc is typically crisp, herbal and racy, while Chardonnay is richer in style with full-bodied texture and tropical fruit flavors.

I know NOTHING about shotguns.
So, if I were to purchase a shotgun, which would you recommend? I'm 5'2", 100...and something... pounds, and shoot left-handed, if that matters.
A shot gun for what purpose? and how much do ya wanna spend, semi-auto or pump?
$269-$350: Remington 870, Mossberg, Winchester.
Um... I don't know? Purpose... because I want one? Home defense, in worst case.
Price is not an issue.
Remington 870 Home Defense or Mossberg Home Defense or Winchester SXT Home Defense. Can't go wrong with any of them and best bang for the buck for home defense. Anywhere from $300.00 to $400.00 depending on where you purchase them.
Mossberg pump shotguns have a tang safety, located on the top-rear of the receiver, which is conveniently under-the-thumb for left- or right-handed shooters; I've used various model 500s for the last several decades as a lefty with no problems. The 500-series guns have aluminum receivers, which is a good news/bad news situation; lighter means easier to carry and swing quickly, but they kick a bit harder than a heavier steel-receiver weapon. I'd recommend taking a look at the shorter-stocked youth models, as they may "fit" petite folks slightly better (full-size stocks and shorter arms makes for cumbersome handling qualities and slow/awkward shooting). "Fit" is very important for a shotgun if you intend to shoot it quickly/instinctively (as they are intended to be used), vs. slowly mounted and aimed like a rifle.
Unless you really want a new one, I've seen lots of decent used Mossberg shotguns in local pawn shops (Eastern ND) in the $175-$250 range. Scheels will be higher, but you still might find a nice-looking solid used gun for significantly less than a new one, and they will guarantee functioning of their used guns, so there isn't any real risk of getting a lemon. Spend the price difference on a bunch of ammo!
At the risk of sounding .................well I dunno just at your size I would get a 20ga and not a 12. Cosiderable difference in recoil between the two and the 20 aint no girly gun.
DJ Niner, I don't think I'd thought of looking at youth models before. That's a very good idea!!! I mean... If I buy shoes in the children's section, why not a gun? Hahaha! I'll look around. Thank you.
Several small-statured friends of mine have used the short-stocked Remington and Mossberg youth models over the years, and done very well with them. I'd try to give them crap about it, but it wouldn't stick; they were usually much better shots than I was (with a shotgun, I'm only an average shooter; some days, less than average).
I also would have suggested the 20 gauge as a good starter shotgun (as I have for the last few decades), but most of the big-name ammo manufacturers now offer reduced-recoil 12 gauge buckshot and even slug loads, so I don't consider it as important as it once was. Most of the reduced-recoil loads throw the same weight projectile(s) as the full-power stuff, but they throw it a bit slower, to keep the recoil manageable. I think there is at least one manufacturer that makes loads that are slower and containing a lighter projectile load as well, for significantly less kick. There is almost no recoil-related reason to step down to a 20 gauge today.
I use a lot of the Remington reduced-recoil slugs; I try to catch them on sale after deer season, and fill-up the old ammo locker with enough to last me until sale season next year...
Holly, measure your "length of pull" ..unscientific method... keep your wrist straight and bend your left arm 90 degrees. Measure the distance from the lower part of your bicep tendon, (inside of your elbow joint) to the second joint of your trigger finger. The closer you can match the length from the butt plate to the trigger to your length of pull, in any long gun you plan to purchase, the better off you'll be.
Hey, thanks! If I caught that right... 13"? Hmmmm... Now to look around.
I'll bet you a cup of coffee (or yer favorite beverage) that many of the folks that see you measuring a shotgun, will have no concept of what you're doing, or why. :smt1099
I'm sure you'd be correct. And coffee would be lovely.
I would agree with just about everything said. Some very good advice IMHO. Just one thing to think about in regard to the following:
One more consideration, youth model 20 gauge shotguns are common. Many gun stores will have one.
By the way, as a lefty myself, I really like my Mossberg 500 for the location of the safety.
Thank you, Charles.

It's April, it's national poetry month, but here's what I'd suggest — that we have poetry year or poetry century or poetry millennium. Where else but poetry, after all, are we going to find an echo asking a shadow to dance, queried the poet Carl Sandburg. Oh, excuse me. This is a newspaper column. I have to get prosaic.
My argument, then, is that, for their own enlightening delight, more people should read poetry and read it regularly. They're allowed to refuse intimidation, scorning the stuff that never descends from hoity-toity peaks of academe, as they partake instead in the elation of language that's not only clear but inviting.
Using rhyme sometimes, all kinds of other tricks with sound, taking advantage of rhythm, deploying visual images, making you hear, taste and smell what's in someone else's mind, poetry can grab your imagination and take you places you never expected. It hints at vastness behind the literal. It intrigues, it awakens, it stimulates, it enlarges.
Most definitions that try to encompass the whole of poetry end up failing, but there's this some say about much of it: The words mysteriously conspire to give you a vivifying experience that is never captured in after-the-fact paraphrase.
I don't mean that analysis and summing up meanings never have their legitimate purposes. I am contending instead that there's a difference between being slammed to the ground or tossed to the clouds by a poem and reflecting later about what was said and the sensation's causes.
There was a time, for instance, when I came across "One Art," a great poem by Elizabeth Bishop. It's about how we try to cope as so much passes out of our lives, from houses we lived in to people we loved. Even if I went on in detail about each line, I don't think it would make you cry. When I read the actual poem aloud to my wife, she cried.
Crying is not the only thing poetry can make you do. It can also make you laugh, as when you read Billy Collins, a former national poet laureate who has written some pieces with no humor at all — such as one on 9/11 — but others that have you chuckling even as you journey into less-certain territory and suddenly note something serious going on. He himself confesses that intent.
In his poem "Forgetfulness," you might well grin, as I did, when he says first you forget the author, then the title, then the plot and then the entire novel. The apparent joshing, it turns out, is prelude to a phrase about being "on your own way to oblivion" and suggestions of a life less than what it was.
You're not left forlorn by this — at least I wasn't. Good spirits mostly carry the day with Collins, as they did when he recently appeared for a poetry reading I attended in Denver. He kept the audience in as uproarious a mood as a comedian might even as there were interesting emotive gasps punctuating the proceedings.
His name might not be known to you, but Collins is reported to be the most popular poet in the country, and I can give you a good reason. Besides having major gifts, he believes in what he calls "surface clarity" in poetry, cluing you in immediately on what's transpiring. Believe me, there are lots more like him, dozens whose works are worth knowing, even if you someday forget them, and they are all over the Internet, just a Google click away.
All cultures we know anything about, I've read, have had poetry, if only oral. Religion is full of poetry — poets of all faiths letting you see inside that faith, the psalms, of course, scads of other biblical passages, as well as hymns and many prayers. Secular life is surrounded by it, too. Just open the door, not only for the rest of this special month, but whenever you want a keener sense of what the commotion of this world and this life is all about.
Start with Collins. I bet you'll like him.

Why Your New Year's Resolutions Won't Work
By Sungyak Kim
December 27, 2012
Sungyak "John" Kim is a student at Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando. Follow him on Twitter @sungyak.
It occurred to me recently that when people share their New Year's resolutions, they tend to talk about things that point indirectly to their character: "I want to eat healthier ... I want to pay off my debt ... I want to read through the entire Bible ... " Our resolutions reflect our hopes of becoming a better "me." Though they may seem to be mere matters of behavioral modification, the fact that we always fail to keep them seems to point to a deeper problem.
If you think about it, an admission of a character flaw is almost always built into a New Year's resolution, then quickly explained away—"I know I should do this, but I have failed to do it this year. I want to set a new goal, try harder next year and succeed."
Alas, there's the elephant in the room. Didn't you say the same thing last year, and the year before? Perhaps this is a good indicator that we have a bigger problem on our hands than just not keeping our vows. The bigger problem is that we're not very good at doing what we know is for our own good. This should reveal that, lurking subtly behind bad eating habits, persistent debt and slacking spirituality, are character flaws that are not essentially behavioral but existential. Our failures have less to do with what we do and more with who we are.
Our resolutions reflect our hopes of becoming a better "me."
And that's probably what most of us intend when we set down our resolutions. But if the change is not in our being, the change will never be permanent. Maybe this is what Gandhi meant when he said (supposedly) that we ought to "be the change we want to see." Perhaps he didn't mean by this that we must simply do this or that, but, quite literally, to be this or that. Whatever we resolve to do in the upcoming year, we should resolve to be that for the rest of our lives.
What we really need are lifetime resolutions—because if it's truly worth doing, it's probably worth living for.
This emphasis on being is important because our actions can only take us to a certain threshold, whereas our being takes the baton and finishes the race. If no "being" is there to greet us, then our actions are just a cumbersome charade, not a way to victory. The kind of victory God desires for us is total. God wants both our hearts and our hands, our joy and our obedience, our being and our doing. And this not for a year, but for eternity.
Our failures have less to do with what we do and more with who we are.
Lingering behind the excitement of welcoming the new "me" is the rather misguided confidence in our own ability. We're tempted to think our characters can be changed in a year simply because we proclaim it to the world and write so in our diaries. To this, James would say, "As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil" (James 4:16, ESV). Our words fail us. So do our deeds. Our hope must be in words and works that do not fail. We need to put our hope in something more consistent, an absolute anchor that wills for us when our behaviors fall short (and they will fall short). We need our Shepherd right there with us, to help us press on, albeit inconsistently, toward being made complete (Philippians 3:14).
The profitable motivation behind setting up New Year's resolutions is not "I've not done what I should've done" but "I'm not yet who I'm meant to be." We need to take our eyes off our abilities and our accomplishments and look once again at the perfect image we want to be conformed to: Jesus Christ. He's performed what our behaviors can never accomplish and set us free from the obligation to perform perfectly by His promise to perfect us in His time (Philippians 1:6). Both by His words and deeds, we know God cares for us more than we can ever care for ourselves.
Behavior control is no longer our resolution. To be loved by the perfect love of God is.
You've probably heard the adage "You can't turn the Titanic around in a day." Neither can we turn our characters around in a year. Nor can we do so on our own. So, perhaps admitting our inability to perfect ourselves and clinging to the One who is strong in our weakness is a worthy resolution all its own. Paul seems to imply this much when he says, "Let those of us who are mature think this way" (Philippians 3:15, ESV).
Let us all then, as a first step, resolve to think this way.

This was a great and thought provoking article to read right before new years! One thought though, what does it mean to 'cling to the one who is strong in our weakness'. How do you cling? Just a thought!
Awesome. I love this article. Really helps me focus on the big picture instead of the yearly one! Thanks for sharing!
Rock on. Great article!
Great read. Timely I must add. True that for most, resolutions are more like annual targets we set out to do and therefore kind of end when the year ends (if they have been achieved) yet our focus should be in renewing our minds/ character to become more like Christ which is a more sustainable goal. Kinda like hitting two birds with one stone. As we grow in Christ-likeness, we also learn how to constantly fix our gaze on the cross and not on our empty selves.

What's your story?
In the 80s my college roommate hated to drive and loved to ski. Asked me to drive him out west for an interview. I'd never been on anything snow related before. Asshat left me on a black diamond at Alta. I was wearing jeans, a cotton flannel shirt, and a snow parka. You can guess the rest. I could not keep 2 sticks pointed in the same direction to save my life and swore to never touch the ski slope again in my life.
Fast forward 20 years; sitting in my house in Utah watching the snow fall, thinking "another winter sitting inside?" "Naw". At the same time there was a Toyota truck commercial on TV that showed some boarder blasting through deep pow and it looled like a blast.
So I asked the pierced and tatted up surf punk at work if he'd teach me to ride. He laughed but agreed to do it. We spent 2 nights at a local park on the hill learning toeside, then heelside, then linking turns.
After that it was up Big Cottonwood Canyon every weekend and Brighton on Wednesday nights. Then, work took me out to the midwest and I went once to Trollhaugen in Wisconsin. It was just too depressing after spending days in waist deep Utah powder. It was just packed ice as far as I could tell.
Hung up the deck until this year. A new job in Colorado has brought me back to the mountains. Now I just have to wait for winter...
|Yes, thank you. I got some toward the end of this season before a trip to Colorado. I would recommend them to everyone now. Even makes it warmer sitting on the snow. At the urging of my wife & kids I even got a helmet but hardly ever fall on my head.
|^hope you're wearing pads. You can put a lot of pads under snow outerwear and no one will notice, but at least get some butt pads....you'd be surprised how many boarders of all ages are secretly wearing them (even pros)
I met a couple guys at roller skating that taught at Trollhaugen in WI and decided to give it a try as I wasn't getting any younger at 62. Took a couple lessons at the tail end of last year and one this year at our local ice hill in MN.
Not progressing real good but loving every bit of it except the bruised behind. It takes me a week to recover but I still get back out there. I'm determined to figure this out.
Also can't wait to get my 38 year old kid some lessons and get out with him and a couple grandkids.
Always stoked to see old folks who are into it! I always make sure to say "I wish my parents were that cool!" when I see a cool looking mom or dad with their kid out having a good time... especially if she looks nice
Now, I'm 26... but I look a lot older, and I just got into it at the start to the season this year. Last weekend I was taking the chair with a kid who was maybe a few years younger than me who said "it's never too late to start!" when I told him this is my first year... reminded me of the scene in Point Break with the kid at the surf shop...
"Hey man, it's cool... a lotta guys your age are takin' it up..."
"I'm 25...
"That's what I mean man..."

To those who are just starting out like me, I have noticed that first few days seem like one has to be a superman to snowboard. As a scared beginner, a common reaction is to tense up all the muscles and joints, so one would get tired very quickly. Once one progresses the efficiency improves rapidly and snowboarding suddenly becomes much easier.

I'm 47 and just started, feel sore from all the falls but happy to be able to ride with my kid.

What's your story?
What my wife did not foresee is that getting on the mountain with our grown children, I would catch alpine fever. I came back and told her, Honey, I had a great time: I'm going to start snowboarding. I went 2 times last season, 4 times this season so far. As an empty nester with a job where I can declare myself a ski day, I am looking for fresh snow days to head up and ride.
At this point I call myself an aggressive beginner, I am progressing faster than I expected. I am heavily armored and that helps.
In my defense, When I was young I was a cautious skier, but always had the vision that I would be sliding down mountains in my old age. God willing, I can't think of a better way to live a little foretaste of heaven on earth.
|Clayton Bigsby
|Thats how the snowboarding industry changed the ski industry forever. One of my local mtns is Mt BAKER, where back in the day was only open Friday thru Sunday, it would dump all week and come Friday morning we'd have 3 feet plus fresh. Us boarders for several reason would ride nothing but powder, 1st being, steel edges weren't thought of, 2nd it didnt hurt as much falling and 3rd the ski's back then were only about 2" wide, so most skiers stayed out of the powder (except the AirBears) leaving more for us.
This is what my local mtn frequently looks like on a powder day (it is bluebird after every dump), especially on a weekday. No crowds because the roads are gnarly/hairpin...and seems most people around here either don't have the equipment for 2-3 ft deep snow and/or they can't manage riding in it anyhow. Yeah, I'm old, but I can't rationalize saying I'm too old with this available....even if it does kick my ass every time.

Despite uncertainty over the "Olympics effect" on cultural institutions in 2012, the year proved golden for Tate Modern which went on to welcomed 5.3m visitors through its doors, the most in its history.
The number of visitors was up 9.5 per cent on 2011 in what Alex Beard, the Tate's deputy director, described as an "extraordinary year".
Crowds flocked to the blockbuster Damien Hirst exhibition, the most popular solo show the gallery has staged, as well as the newly-opened performance space The Tanks.
Click here or on "View Images" to see 2012 at Tate Modern in pictures
Mr Beard said: "There was a huge amount of uncertainty over what would happen in Olympics year. We thought the mix of shows would be pretty popular, but – hand on heart – did not think it would break the record."
The Hirst exhibition, which included some of his most famous and controversial works such as Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living and For the Love of God, attracted 463,000 visitors to the river-side site.
The record for a Tate Modern show is a dual exhibition of work by Matisse and Picasso in 2002, which received 467,000 visitors.
The Tanks opened in July, marking the first permanent space for performance, installation and video art for any gallery around the world. Mr Beard said: "People very quickly got their heads around the experimental space presenting an experimental art form."
Visitors to its sister gallery Tate Britain rose 4.3 per cent to 1.5 million visitors in 2012 with shows including the current Pre-Raphaelites exhibition.
Mr Beard said the Tate's performance, as well as other cultural institutions around the country, showed the value of the arts in Britain and London.
"No one comes to London for the transport system," he said. "Alongside New York it is the most remarkable place on the planet to enjoy culture."Reuse content

Win five BlackBerry Torch 9800s!
The Super App-rentice
Competition Reg Hardware has teamed up with Research in Motion (RIM) for a spiffy competition called the BlackBerry Super App-rentice.
The premise is simple. We want you to sketch out an idea for a BlackBerry Super App.
Five entrants will win a BlackBerry Torch 9800 smartphone. And you may even see your idea turned into an app.
What are the judges looking for?
You are unlikely to make the cut if you enter a dull me-too idea. We're looking for smart thinking! Keep it brief and to the point. So what is a Super App?
Here's some blurb, culled from BlackBerry's Super Apps website for developers
Super Apps draw on the unique power of the BlackBerry platform and can include one or more of the following features:
- The always-on experience
- Tight integration with native apps
- Proactive and notification driven - draws on BlackBerry's push capabilities
- Highly contextualized - think location! location! location!
- Social and connected
- Designed for battery efficiency
If you want to see how this pans out in practice, check out a great - and free - Super App, called Poynt for BlackBerry. this local search engine offers seamless integration with with various BlackBerry functions and, with the BlackBerry Torch, integrated search for OS6.
This way for the BlackBerry Super App-rentice competition.

I have an Arkady flightsuit and have made my sonic beam weapon out of a found patterson squeegee. This should mean i have no problem fitting the found part into the shin pocket. However,as you can see, it's just not working. Have I made the tool wrong? should i remove the two inner parts that make it thicker? It might fit then but might still be a very tight fit.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
