What Are You Going to Do With Your Life?
By Gina DeLpa
February 8, 2013
Do you know why adults always asked us when we were kids, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" They were looking for ideas. And while I say that tongue-in-cheek, I think there's some truth to it.
As we get older, the questions go something like this: Where are you going to school? What are you going to study? What are you going to do with your degree? And then as we graduate, we get the dreaded, "What are you going to do with your life?" It seems our culture is always wanting to know what we're going to do next.
Yet I think the deepest and most profound questions are the ones that rise from the silence of our own hearts: Where is God calling me? How can I find meaning in the mundane? Or better yet, how can I trade in the mundane for something exciting: a grand mission that glorifies God, fulfills the deepest longings of my heart and sounds good at parties?
These questions seem to hit hardest when we're just out of college. I won't pretend I have all the answers—I don't. But because I've been out of undergrad for (gasp) two decades, I can share some things I've learned about how to live a meaningful life, especially when it seems most difficult:
1. See your life as a mystery to be revealed, not as a problem to be solved. To put it more simply, "Take a breath." This is so not my style, but I know it to be good advice.
It also helps to cut yourself some slack. Moving on from college is a huge transition. You have to find new ways to make friends, adjust to a new job and possibly a new city, and in many cases, you now have to be somewhere at 8 in the morning—wide awake, no less. It's a whole different world, and it takes some getting used to.
It also helps to cut yourself some slack. Moving on from college is a huge transition.
As Christ-followers, we have the assurance that even when our lives don't make sense, Christ does.
2. Figure out what role you want work to play in your life. I don't mean, "Figure out what time you want to show up," although if you can do that, go for it. But where does work fit in with your overall calling?
We know God calls us to pay our bills, live responsibly, and further His Kingdom. But you may find work is not the only way to live out your calling—it may not even be the most important way. As one Gen Xer put it, "We were not put on Earth to work for United Glop. We work to do other things besides work." If you're not sure about where work fits in, pray about it. After all, we're here to follow Him, not simply our own desires.
3. Upgrade your time management skills. One of the best books I've read on the subject: First Things First by Covey, Merrill and Merrill. The premise of the book is that we're not meant to cram our days with activity, but to schedule our most important priorities. We can only benefit when we can identify our priorities—so write a mission statement for yourself, and start living it out.
4. Find a mentor. We could devote a whole column to this subject, but the idea is to find someone who can help you grow, and at the same time, offer encouragement. Your mentor doesn't need to be a guru—in fact, it's better if he or she helps you draw your own conclusions. But a mentor can serve as a sounding board, a guide and a trusted friend.
Please don't think self-care is optional—or worse, selfish.
5. Pursue your grand vision, but don't hinge your whole happiness on it. I believe in making my life as meaningful as possible. In fact, whenever I need a dose of inspiration, I watch this clip (called "Believing in Yourself") from the movie Walk the Line. Dallas Roberts' speech about "one song that would sum you up" reminds me of what kind of life I want to create, under God.
But I also know that that the "grand vision," for one thing, lies beyond this world. Even our grandest visions for this world can take a long time to achieve—and once we attain them, they don't always satisfy. So it's crucial to enjoy the everyday blessings: a smile from a stranger. A cold drink on a hot day (or a hot drink on a cold day). Belting out your favorite song. Eating good food, and having someone to share it with. Dying laughing with an old friend over something only the two of you understand.
6. Be strategic about your activities outside of work. For example, if you're a CPA, you may be asked to lend your accounting skills to a nonprofit. If that sounds rewarding to you, have at it. But you may find it even more rewarding to do something outdoors, or otherwise get a complete change of pace and scenery from your professional job.
Another lesson, from Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend's book, Safe People: If you want to make new friends, choose activities where that's the primary goal, not the secondary goal. For example, the primary goal of a relational Bible study is to connect with fellow believers and discuss the Word—the primary goal of serving at a soup kitchen is to feed the hungry. Both activities have value, but the first one is more likely to lead to friendships. So just be clear on your true motives.
7. Practice good self-care. I asked my grad students last night what helped them to transition out of undergrad. They mentioned things like eating well. Getting enough sleep. Taking time to pray, meditate and exercise. Writing in a journal. These things not only help us function and deal with stress, they can be rewarding in and of themselves.
Please don't think self-care is optional—or worse, selfish. There's a reason flight attendants tell us, "If you are traveling with small children, secure your own oxygen mask before assisting others … " It's pretty hard to help others if you can't breathe. Or as one of my former professors used to say, "Nobody can protect you like you can protect yourself."
Finally, when they ask you "What are you going to do with your life?"—and they will—smile and have a ready answer. It may be that this once-annoying question could turn into a springboard to a rich and meaningful dialogue.

Nice post, thank you for sharing. I have stopped worrying about me finding the opportunities and have found that most opportunities will present themselves to you. Once I stopped worrying, i was able to quit my job and now am happier than ever. We have had to turn some very lucrative opportunities away because well, they just didn't fit with who we are now.
So now the question is not "what are you going to do with your life?" it is "what is life going to do with me today?"
Live life!

This is a good article. We have too many unrealistic expectations -- that work will be fulfilling and dreamy. When it isn't and it actually is more like work than play, disappointment and even resentment sets in. Your point about just letting go a little and the next about thinking about big picture are perfect for believers. You CAN be fulfilled and happy as long as your heart is right, no matter what your employment situation.
Over at www.TheHighCalling.com, we explore these kinds of issues everyday. We'll be linking over here to this great article.

I'm having the exact same problem. It used to work for me up until about 3 months ago but then it just stopped giving results. I've searched every where and cannot find a solution that works for me. I know it's not a matter of my IP being blocked by Google because I've tried it from different IP addresses.
If anyone has any suggestions, I (and the OP I'm sure) would appreciate the help.

Hmm, i'd suggest some more definition around the individual garlics because at the moment it just looks like a big wobbly line.
Re: GUMBALLS R ME
Nice idea!! GMV!!

I totally agree. some more vibrant colour would make the flowers stand out from the shirt some more.

Very Cute. This one's gonna sell out really quickly. GMV!!
Re: You. Are. A pirate!
Oh this is doing so well! I knew wooters hadn't turned their backs on pirates yet!
Re: Dwarf-Back Ride
Yeah. Kind of complex idea and you did it well. I wouldn't wear it on the shirt color you picked, but it's good nonetheless.
Re: Voodoo Doll
Really nice style.
Re: Escaped Convict!
I love it. I'll even make an exception with my "I hate heather grey" mantra. It looks good.
I kinda had an idea similar to this, but there is no way i could have done it as brilliant as yours !! Definitely GMV!!
Really nice drawing !! Love the style and the way the heart is drawn!! GMV!!
I love this design!
I don't know how much it applies to a costume but man, the finished product looks so awesome.
Re: iPod therefore iAm
I like the idea, but the drawing could be better. The screen just looks like a big black box. Maybe if you put some grey shading around the edge to make it shiny and come off the page, that would help get some more votes.
Re: Wanted in the Woods
Really love the design on this one, but i do agree that it does need some tweaking. Brown shirt would definitely help. And, just brainstorming some more ideas, maybe you could like do a hole in the tree showing an owl peeping out or maybe a robin hood's hat hanging from an arrow or something. I dunno.
Either way it's GMV. If it gets Re-subbed i'll totally vote for that too.
Re: Please be careful; I'm fragile.
Love the idea though i think it may be better on a brown shirt !! But anyway GMV!!
Re: Go as the Floor of a Movie Theater
Awesome idea and design!! GMV!!
That looks simply awesome....good job.
Re: terrifyphone
thanks everyone for your votes! tell your friends!!!
Re: president privilages
While I get that this design is outside the printable area, I'm confused by the "not incidental text", since in the description of the derby, it is stated very clearly that "Incidental text only. A nametag or logo is fine as one element of a larger design. "This Shirt Is My Pirate Costume" is not."
so, just under what conditions would a nametag be allowed, if this one is not?
This shirt is rising fast!! Great idea.
Keelmy wrote: (I noticed that today's woot also offers glow in the dark ink).
Unfortunately the glow ink isn't allowed in the derby. It would be so cool if it was.
Re: Tony Stark
Looks cool, but I don't understand why the shirt is grey??
Re: patience, intelligence, and speed
Imp my ride??? sorry...
Re: Human Black Hole
The Black Hole is cool, but I'm not sure I understand how this is a costume.
Well Done. It came out great Boots. I like the final shape of the collar you went with.
Awesome Idea, really cool.

I normally don't like it as well, but most escaping cons would have easy access to heather gray t-shirts. I was planning on putting words across the shirt, like "Cleveland State Athletic Department" but figured that wouldn't be incidental text. Took forever to get the pattern for the orange jumpsuit to match.
Thanks for voting for it!
blammoed wrote:Eheoeheoehoeheo. Very funny, I like it. Look at all those little details, too! Looks VERY nice.
Thanks Blammoed!!!
Wow, this is going up fast! Congrats Blam!! I really like how you chose brown instead of black.
Well, for once I %100 agree. When I was scaling around to make the actual shirt examples, I had to resize them more than once and they got pretty skewed. I apologize again to everyone for that. My intention was really just to have the belt sit a little bit lower. Either way, when I get off work today, I will try to post a better picture to illustrate the placement.
And also, as far as the extra detail goes, I feel you for sure. I wanted to do more, but take a look at the submission times for both of my designs and you'll no why I didn't keep going with it. I spent way too long on the alien if you couldn't tell.
Either way, by the looks of things I don't think it has a realistic shot at getting printed. I wouldn't mind having two in the fog. That would be awesome!
I'm not sure if resubs are allowed on this one... or ever... but this is one I did a while back and thought it had a place here.
I realize that a fog entry has a similar idea... but I didn't copy it. This was existing art from nearly a year ago. However, those who won't wear gore may appreciate this one.
Incredibly well done! GMV!
Re: Dare to scare?
Blah, not only has this design been done before by another t-shrit site, but I doesn't even look like you actually created this yourself. It looks like a cut and paste job to me.
Re: I'm Staying Home This Year
Hey i like it. The alien looks more cutesy, than the evil blood soaked monster bursting from your chest of other designs. That may put some people off, but it's GMV nonetheless.
Re: Green Piece
What is this actually supposed to be? Am i missing something here? Because it kinda reminds of something off tetris but im confused.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I'm unfamiliar with the Tartan, but I bought a new French-built 1999 Bene 311 in '99. It had the Yanmar 2GM20, a 2 cylinder which my son and I renamed Yammermar. The boat sailed beautifully, looked great, was well maintained, handled lots of rough seas on Chesapeake Bay, including one brief bout with 50+knots, but motored horribly. I had to have the engine overhauled twice, once for blown rings, the second for a broken crankshaft. Shortly after buying it (less than a year later), I wished I had bought a bigger boat. Buy the biggest damn boat you can possibly afford. In 2008, I bought a new 393. Watch us on youtube at Nicholsquarters.

The Tartan 31 is in very good condition as far as the hull, interior, cosmetically, and I've been told there have never been any blisters. The negative part is that it has original sails and mast. The standing rigging was replaced 12 years ago and the running rigging is very stiff. The bottom was painted 18 months ago.
I know I will have to replace the sails. What will that cost?
Do I have to replace the mast? How much is that?
Do I have to replace the standing rigging that was replaced 12 years ago. If so, How much is that?
How much is it to replace the running rigging?
How much is the bottom painting?
The price of sails varies. You can probably replace them for less than $4000 if you shop around or get creative, maybe as low as $3000. There are reasonable ways to save money if you are not going to race or go offshore.
Only a survey can tell you for sure if you need to replace the mast. The odds of that being the case are very low. If you where to walk the boat yards and look for 30 year old Tartans with new masts, you would be hard pressed to find one and if you did it I"m willing to bet it was because of a catastrophic accident rather than wear and tear.
Your surveyor will tell you all about the rigging and what, if anything needs to be replaced. The standing rigging on my C&C 30 passed the survey at 30 yrs old. I replaced it anyway. Find a local rigger that people at your yard trust. Some of these guys race/sail with their customers so they build relationships. That's the kind of guy you want working on your boat.
If running rigging passes the survey but it's "about time" for an upgrade, this is something you don't need to do all at once. Halyards are easier to do if the mast is down, but, most anything can be done as needed.
Advice on bottom paint would be to buy the best you can find. Wait for a sale if you can. The more you spend, the less work you have to do at haul out.
I'm ass u ming you are not going off shore and you don't mind doing some of the work yourself. If the boat is to be "yard maintained" then all bets are off as to pricing. If you are planning on sailing across oceans then throw out all of the above advice and plan on upgrading everything.
I thnk the OP should just keep looking for a boat! All the newer verse older, high production vers lower production (there're both production boats) etc etc is just fine and good things to think of.
But it in the end if you are doing all this it means neither boat talks to your heart. Listen to your heart some!
It depends on what you plan on doing with the boat. If you're a weekend sailor with an entertainment budget, buy the Benneteau.
Beneteaus are very pretty, Tartans are a much better built boat. If it were me, I'd examine the spreader mast connection on the Tartan then note the engine hours. If less than 5000 hours and the spreader mast connections show no corrosion, and all other things were even, I'd make an offer on the Tartan less what new 1 x19 wire and staylocks would cost to replace the standing rigging.
311 owner
I may be bias and I have never sailed a Tartan. However, I just purchased an 01 Beneteau 311 with lazy jack system and solid Keel. The thing is fast and stable. It virtually sails itself, with just the right amount of windward helm. I don't know who is telling you that the Tartan is a better boat. What is the PHRF on the Tartan? The Beneteau is 141 which makes it very competitive for its class. I really like the full toe rail and the aft rail seats on the 311. I would only buy a boat with a Yanmar diesel I don't trust the other brands. I added another battery under the sink to handle the nav equipment and refrigerator compressor more effectively. I would go with the Beneteau.
|I personally would go with the Beneteau since its a decade and a half newer and I just love the way they look both inside and out. It has that bling, bling kind of style when you pull up to a dock, if you know what I mean
We went through a similar decision making process deciding between a 1988 Sabre and a 2001 Beneteau. We ended up buying the Beneteau. Sometimes we wonder if we made the right decision, but the jury is still out. Here are some of the negatives we've discovered about the Beneteau:
The reason behind thinking the spars will need to be replaced:
After 30 years, every single connection on the rig is going to be suspect. The spars maybe ALU but the fittings will be SS. The mast head, mast step, and every single rivet/screw will all be sources of galvanic action.
I am speculating the last time the rig was throughly checked was 12 years ago when the shrouds were replaced.
|I doubt the mast and boom would need replacing unless damaged. Especially if the boat was not raced hard. The rigging at 12 years is a maybe, depending on condition.
Decide which boat makes your heart happy and then make your decision. I would not assume anything until you look closely at the boat, make your decision, and then offer and survey. You can then re-negotiate based on the survey if it brings up anything critical.
A 20 something boat with original sails has probably not been sailed hard so let a surveyor ( a good one!) tell you what you are looking at. None of us has seen the boat and anything said is an assumption. You don't make purchase decisions on assumptions! Just make certain that you have money in the kitty to fix what your surveyor tells you plus a back up for the unexpected.
Good Luck!

Business moves fast - which means that software development teams need to move even faster. The emergence of new software development models, such as the agile development process, has given organizations powerful tools for responding to events quickly and has helped organizations evolve through collaboration between self-organizing, cross-functional teams.
To make the most of agile processes, organizations need effective and efficient testing strategies - complete with processes for governing test data. However, many development, testing and quality assurance (QA) teams struggle to create and maintain the required test data.
IT departments often lack confidence about test data preparation and data usage within the testing discipline, and it may not be clear how to use and administer data efficiently. That's where test data management comes in. Learn how InfoSphere Optim Test Data Management Solution can help!

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by doublead, Mar 16, 2007.
do ya'll think we have a chance still get acie law
I say we package it along with Amir and/or Maxiel and move up. We need quality over quantity in my opinion.
I don't think so. I think 13 is the latest he will go. You got Atlanta Boston Sacramento Portland all could use a PG. he'd have to stink in the tourney to not keep moving up.
Boston has 2 young prospects at the point, Atlanta is loaded with PG's (Claxton, Johnson and another one whom I forgot), Portland has Jack and Sacramento Bibby. I think each one of the teams you named could use players at each position and not primarily a PG.
Boston...well, they're going for the durant-oden sweepstakes. I just stuck them as a worst case scenario. Atlanta: it depends on indiana's freefall. They will be looking hard at Acie. Claxton was a bust. Johnson is a stop gap. Tyronne? if you could get the best PG in the draft at about 13...why would they let tyronne stop them. They have JJ, Josh, Marvin, and Shelden. They could either use a C or a PG but then its the same situation as us but C's around 13...you're looking at a probable role player. Sac & portland could prolly use a PF or SF respectively. But Sac is picking late.
I agree about quality over quantity and packaging our assets. I would like to see Amir and Maxiel stay with the Pistons, though. I am not opposed to packaging any of the 3 draft picks, as well as Blalock, Acker, or Samb.
If we are looking for a point guard, we shouldn't have to move up too far though.
Pheonic gets ATL pick if it is in the Top 5 (maybe 6) and I think we all can agree PHX may not pick a PG.
According to this mock draft they have us picking Al Thorton out of Florida State. Sounds like he fits the Piston mold. 2007 NBA Mock Draft - 2007 NBA Draft - NBA Draft Al Thornton, Scouting Report for the 2006 NBA Draft
thorntons a beast
Now if the Magic's pick was #6 it could be interesting. I believe protected for 2007 below 6 and the Magic are now in the lottery.
I don't follow college ball at all, but isn't it a bit early for mock drafts since we don't even know what position everyone will draft? The draft positions can change several times a day, not to mention the fact that the lottery can change a lot of things as well.
I believe that the lottery date is May 22, 2007!!! Why don't you ask the websites that post the stuff and get back to us with their response. Thanks. P.S. I believe the draft positions are determined before Billups can become a free agent so I guess you could also say that about that thread and even more so since it has been on this board a lot longer than this thread.
jammer...the future starts today! we really need our pick to come ahead of atlanta who is looking to use Indiana's pick - around 12-13 right now.
Why don't you take a "I'm not going to take everything so personally" pill, re-read my post and get back to me with your response. Thanks. I wasn't criticizing this thread or you. I'm not even criticizing mock drafts, I really enjoy them. There have been NFL mock drafts going since the day after the superbowl, but at least they know each team's draft position. The draft positions could change 100 times between now and the end of the season. That's all I'm saying. P.S. There's nothing wrong with speculation and conjecture. That's one of the many great things about sports and especially sites like pf.com.
Jammer, this is one of my favorites: NBADraft.net | Home It updates the draft positions daily as the standings change. It also updates player rankings frequently, as well as adds/removes players when college kids make announcements. And, if you think that is early, they also have a 2008 Mock Draft posted: NBADraft.net | Home. Only 467 days left until draft day....
They have the Pistons picking Nick Young. This guy can play. Probably one of the best basketball players to come out of USC in years.
Didn't anyone tell the Magic that they're not supposed to beat Miami in their house?
Fine basketball player and the Pistons would get a keeper.
bring some beasts to Detroit! This team needs some fire!

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by Mogilny, Aug 29, 2011.
I would never stoop so low as to insult Woody's favorite niece.
Lots of 5-5 teams. My team went from 1-4 to 5-5. But you know what...it isn't like I improved or did anything different. At 1-4 I scored 488 points. In the next five I went 4-1 scoring 494 points. Almost identical but I went from 13th place to 6th place so I'm finally about where I should be (4th most points in the league). After 10 weeks one particular team has only had 785 scored against it (5-5) . Another team had 1017 scored against it (3-7). The team with 1017 against it outscored the 785 team by 60 plus points. There is a 6-4 team that has outscored a 9-1 team by 60 points. Random. Random. Random.
Nice random data, but we need to look at injuries to key players, and the ever popular bye week players.
Knowshon (knot that he mattered much) makes 3 of my draft class on IR. Can anyone beat that?
I lead the league in waiver actions, and am second to Darth trader in overall moves... Probably just a sign of desperation vs skill.
The guy that won our baseball league this past summer led the league in transaction.
Nemo - You are catching me on a good week this week. Vick is likely out so starting Tebow, Mike Wallace is on a bye, and AJ Green is likely out. Our projected points aren't a pretty sight...
Yea...I got Drew Brees, Marcus Colston, Hines Ward, and My stellar defense..Houston...on the bench... I really didn't figure I had a chance...til I saw that Tebow was playing against the Hungry Jets... Now maybe I won't get blown out...
Brees and Colston are a big loss, but you dare mention Hines Ward? haha. I'm a Steelers fan and I wouldn't breathe his name in any argument to support your fantasy team. These days he is the 4th best WR option on that team and only holding back the development of Brown and Sanders. Not sure what to expect of Tebow. McGahee is back so we could well see 30 carries for him and less than 10 passes from Tebow. Hoping he can make up for it with some rushing numbers. Our WR's are thin and a crapshoot. TE is going to be an interesting matchup.
Turner will run for 150 yards and get 2-3 TDs...If my luck holds out...
A remarkable happening today... Runners Up is leading Any Given Sunday by a score of 81.58 to 80.18 There is a few minutes left in the 4th quarter of some games which may affect the outcome. What's remarkable is Runner Up's bench has scored 90.56 points. 6 players not good enough to start are beating BOTH starting teams...
He picked up Kevin Smith AFTER he was putting up huge numbers. We'll see if it is a good long-term move or a one-week fluke.
I got the other guy on the Lions starting and he only got 4 points. Makes me wish I had BenJarvus back...
Make me an offer.
What is this message from yahoo when I try to drop and add players? 'A player has already played and is no longer editable for today. (Error #174)'
I'll give you the Lion's Maurice Morris, my starter for BenJarvus Green-Ellis............ Packers will be waiting for Kevin Smith next week... The fluke is over.... Morris will be back..........
You can't drop a player who is in your starting lineup for this week until the next day. You can drop bench players immediately.
What's in a name, you don't ask? The Mcnabbett's (2-5) changed their name to Drath's Spoilers reached an all time low in their history of fantasy sports (losing to Bill Laimbeer for the umpteenth time) I forgot what it was. Anyhow after changing their name to Drath's Spoilers they have run off 4 in a row. The 6-5 Spoilers are now in the 6th and final playoff spot. But will they get spoiled next week by the surging Cowardly Lions who are also 6-5 after reeling off 4 in a row? The Lions are in 5th place with 1103.86 points to the Spoilers 1103.16 points!! Razor close. The teams sport the 2nd and 3rd highest totals in the league. Honestly, that's the last team I want to face right now (Other than that *&^^&**&^%$##$% Bill Laimbeer's sorry squad, but only because I am cursed against him). . Both Cowardly and I were on fire the last four games. Unfortunately, the loser of this one quite possibly misses the playoffs as that lucky piece of dog Laimbeer's team Motown, nemo, Webz, and Locstah are waiting in the wings . The schedules for the last two games make it extremely interesting as all of these teams have very tough match ups ahead. So 7 teams fighting for two spots. (I've included that *&^%$#@#$%^&* Bill Laimbeer who always kicks my *&$#@#$%^ *&%^^$ in every *&^%$#@#$%^& league in this total). bezeach is in but Junior, TFD, and/or Hita could slip and then it gets even more interesting as we may have 10 teams fighting for 5 of the 6 spots. Although with the records AND point totals taken into account, I would imagine TFD gets in regardless of whether he loses his last two.
Good writeup, Drath. Thanks for all the kind words. Lots of parity in the league this year, which makes it fun and keeps most GMs interested until the bitter end.
It will be an interesting finish for sure. My Cowardly Lions have their work cut out for them this week... I'm thinking of cancelling Thanksgiving so they won't come out playing sluggish from all the turkey they would have eaten. This is a MUST WIN for us. Tater, can you change your team name back to McNabbet's for a week? :D

text: Thank you for all the great input. I have chosen a design. Along with the fact that they will be made from fire retadent resin and plastisizer added to allow for slight flexibility, I have also taken weeks of research into account. I have designed a locking system that should not see the bees closing up gaps with proplois. The system I have allocated for this project runs at a 1 to 2% shrink rate and the gaskets will compensate for this amount of shrinkage.

hey guys,
my knee armor keeps breaking on the sides, b/w the main front part that covers my knee and the sides, when I bend my knees... "so don't bend your knees!" yeah, well, that doesn't work. I want to use some kind of rubber and place it b/w the 2 pieces so that when I do bend at the knees, the side piece can bend outwards...
but what material should I use? has anyone done this?

Hi everyone, anyone doing online TEFL please help!!!
Can somebody please help me I am on the Checkpoint 2 part of my TEFL, I have already submitted 2 lesson plans which were incorrect and if I fail the next one I could fail my course. I am failing to see what I am doing wrong. Can anyone help with the following:
1. Teaching the Language Assessment Video- Example Lesson (its online)
What grammatical structure is being taught?
How does the teacher make the meaning (i.e. function, concept) of the structure clear?
How does the teacher check student understanding?
How do the students practise the structure?
How would you teach the form '(be) going to + infinitive' used for future plans to a pre-intermediate class?
Outline your lesson plan using the following headings as a guideline.
Warmer / Lead in
Presentation (in a suitable context) and drilling
Controlled practice activity
Production (a personalised communicative activity)
Briefly say what you would do for each stage of the lesson (in bullet point). Each of the four stages above may contain more than one activity.
Remember to include examples of the sentences you will present and your students will practise. The sentences should follow this pattern: Subject + 'am/ is /are going to + verb' and they should express future plans.
If anyone can give me some advice or even past examples that were successful before would be great,

Man washes up in Marshall Islands 'after 16 months adrift'
Majuro (Marshall Islands) (AFP) - An emaciated man whose boat washed up on a remote Pacific atoll this week claims he survived 16 months adrift on the Pacific, floating more than 12,500 kilometres (8,000 miles) from Mexico, a researcher said Friday.
The man, with long hair and beard, was discovered Thursday when his 24-foot fibreglass boat with propellerless engines floated onto the reef at Ebon Atoll and he was spotted by two locals.
"His condition isn't good, but he's getting better," Ola Fjeldstad, a Norwegian anthropology student doing research on Ebon, the southern most outpost of the Marshalls, told AFP by telephone.
Fjeldstad said the man, dressed only in a pair of ragged underpants, claims he left Mexico for El Salvador in September 2012 with a companion who died at sea several months ago.
Details of his survival are sketchy, Fjeldstad added, as the man only speaks Spanish, but he said his name was Jose Ivan.
"The boat is really scratched up and looks like it has been in the water for a long time," said the researcher from Ebon.
Ivan indicated to Fjeldstad that he survived by eating turtles, birds and fish and drinking turtle blood when there was no rain.
No fishing gear was on the boat and Ivan suggested he caught turtles and birds with his bare hands. There was a turtle on the boat when it landed at Ebon.
Stories of survival in the vast Pacific are not uncommon.
In 2006, three Mexicans made international headlines when they were discovered drifting, also in a small fibreglass boat near the Marshall Islands, in the middle of the ocean in their stricken boat, nine months after setting out on a shark-fishing expedition.
They survived on a diet of rainwater, raw fish and seabirds, with their hope kept alive by reading the bible.
And in 1992, two fishermen from Kiribati were at sea for 177 days before coming ashore in Samoa.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
If you really can''t stand school, at least get a trade or skill behind you. Diesel mechanic would be great as you could then earn money fixing other cruisers boats.....offering them a cheaper rate than boatyards would give you an edge.
Even something like a truck and forklift licence will elevate you above the bottom level of the employment market (it is a market, you are the product and if you don''t have anything to offer then no one will buy!!). However, I''m not sure these skills would be much use outside of the U.S. anyway.
But you are better off sticking with school until you graduate, your attitude to it might change by then and you will have more options.
Having said all this, I did drop out of High School at the age of 15.
But I am lucky to have two facts on my side.
1. I was born in Australia.
2. I was born in 1967
I am also lucky to have landed a postal worker job 15 years ago, driving vans, trucks and forklifts. Secure government jobs like this no longer exist here except for those like me lucky enough to already be in them.
You will notice I have used the word lucky a few times. Luck truly was on my side. Enthusiasm to learn and work also helped me. But things were different when I was your age and I would hate to be your age and unskilled now, even living in "The Lucky Country"
I know now that I can always get work because I have some skills to offer. It won''t make me rich, but it''s enough for me to now own a decent 29 footer and my own home.
I was also lucky enough to buy my own home right before the huge real estate boom that has been happening in this country for the last five years. This turned my initial $10,000 investment into $100,000 in five years!! That is what I would have in my pocket if I sold up now and paid out the remaining mortgage. But this is still not enough for me to chuck the job and go sailing long term.
But I am in a position to think about taking a year off to sail the Great Barrier Reef, this may or may not satisfy my urge to go cruising but I''ll worry about that later.
So the bottom line is this........
At the age of 36, I am now in a position to go medium term cruising because...
1. I have some skills that are in reasonable demand.
2. I have real estate and other assets behind me.
Just to finish up now, I was 17 last week (or so it seems!!!)
I wake up this morning and I''m almost 37!!!
Where did that 20 years go? I''m glad I didn''t waste it!!!
Oh yeah, stay off the drugs......I smoked lots of pot when young but couldn''t be bothered with it now. Sailing and simply messing about in boats is enough high for me now, along with a scotch or two in the cockpit at sundown :-)

I''ve been speaking with Jeff for over a year now. He''s still yet to set foot aboard a sailing vessle, although he lives 20 miles from the coast. but he''s young, and he IS smart, and he''s learning. He just questions EVERYTHING, which can be frustrating at times, but if you show him something concrete, he''ll listen.
When I originaly met him, he was going to drop out of highschool, never have a job, build a boat out of wood he found in the forest, and live on fish.
Now he has a job, is saving money for a boat, and wants to live minimaly.
Personaly, I think he should GET ON A BOAT!!!! and read Voyaging on a small income, everything by the Pardee''s, and the like, so he can understand whats involved in the type of minimalist sailing life he wants. It can be done on little income, (albeit not the interest on 10,000) but it takes discipline, hard work, and a special dedication. It''s best to learn this from working on boats, and doing small passages on other peoples dimes, on their boats, rather than trying to buy something you cant afford for something you dont know if you want to do, especialy when you dont have a clue how to do it.
On happyness, I belive The good Mr. Leary said it best:
God.. "I''m just not happy. I''m just not happy. I''m just not happy because my life didn''t turn out the way I thought it would." Hey! Join the ******* club, ok!? I thought I was going to be the starting center fielder for the Boston Red Socks. Life sucks, get a ******* helmet, allright?! "I''m not happy. I''m not happy." Nobody''s happy, ok!? Happiness comes in small doses folks. It''s a cigarette, or a chocolate cookie, or a five second orgasm. That''s it, ok! You cum, you eat the cookie, you smoke the butt, you go to sleep, you get up in the morning and go to ******* work, ok!? That is it! End of ******* list! "I''m just not happy." Shut the **** up, allright?
Jeff, you listening to these people?
-- James
|It''s time to let this young foo get his education. He will get obne weather it be in the classroom or out is what for his is bound to be a very cruel world. If he insists he should quit school and get a boat and take off. It''s a very expensive way to learn but it''s his life. Maybe when the world has taught him a few things he''ll be much more open to common sence.
|Jeff--I am curious about one thing.How much sailing experience have you had? In all your posts, I read how you think that sailing will be an "easy" and "cheap" life. I don''t see anywhere that you LOVE sailing, or in fact have a passion about anything except complaining about how hard life is at the grand old age of 17-18. It sounds like perhaps your father and brother haven''t set fantastic examples, but here is a little fact: LIFE IS NOT EASY AND WE ALL HAVE ADVERSITIES in our lives. I won''t bore you with mine, but I rose above some rough times as a teenager; that''s called growing up. I have a teen-aged son, and have to prod him from time-to-time to not take the easiest route in school, to stretch himself to make the most of his abilites. I see him maturing, one step forward, sometimes two steps back, but he is beginning to realize that perhaps his parents ARE RIGHT and that sometimes the easiest way is not the best way in the long run. You are too young to limit your options. At least get your GED, and look into some trade like others have suggested. Perhaps you aren''t meant for Yale, but it doesn''t mean that you aren''t cut out for other training in a good field. Find your passion in life, and try to soar, not just get by.
Let''s see if I can knock some sense into you.
First, $40k for a 27'' to 40'' boat seems fair, but may be a bit low for the upper range you''re considering. Even if you do find a 40'' boat for that price, it''ll probably need lots of TLC and major repairs, maybe needed sooner rather than later. :^(
Second, (IMO) a nest-egg of only $10k is woefully underfunded. One bad break (physical or mechanical) could cause you to go through that $10k in no time at all.
Third, I''m sorry to hear that your Dad and brother were not happy with the type of work they did. I''m sure that happens to many folks, but just in case you don''t know it "Life is Real". There are no guarantees that we''ll all have a pleasant one. The Preamble to the Constitution guarantees us "Life, Liberty, and the persuit of happiness..." That means you have the right to persue it, but it''s not gauranteed.
However, you are not your Dad or your brother. You may find work that is satisfying and rewarding. The chances of finding such a job increase geometrically as you increase your educational level. As you said, "there are lots of famous folks how have made it without a H.S. diploma." Well, I''ve got bad news for you - they are the exceptions to the rule. There are lots more (perhaps millions) who have made it big with a H.S. diploma.
Last, you totally ignor the fact that your health may not hold up over time. One bad fall or a bout with bad food and you could be layed-up for weeks - unable to work or worse, in a hospital with no way of paying for the care.
So let me ask you this - do you plan to be self sufficient, or do you plan to be a burden on society? BTW, if you don''t have a plan, then you''re likely going to be a burden on society. Since the rest of us think we will wind up supporting you, don''t be surprised that we think your ideas are poorly thought through.
Good luck (I think you''ll need plenty of it) and happy sails to you ~ _/) ~
Regards, It has been said that a wife and a steady job have been the ruin of more sailors than anything else. I would like you to consider some things before you cast off.

Jeff, if you don''t know what i am talking about you will never get to where you want to go.
You have to know this inside and out, forward and backwards and be able to do most of in your head.
My point is, that maybe a traditional high school is not right for you but in order to be a good sailor an education is essential. Check out some the "Sea school" programs, Navy and or Coast Guard. Please remember that the Buddhist monks don''t have solar panels and GPS, so if you want to go simple and cheap and keep your boat off the rocks. Please studying navigation as a start to your on water education.
I don''t think you sound immature,or naive.It sounds like you know what you want to me.That''s a good thing.So many people never know what they want.If I were your age,I would probably be doing the same thing you''re doing,but I would be doing it after I finished high school,and college,or a tech.school.The reason being,is that I basically don''t like having to work any harder than I have to. The first job I got after graduating high school was working for a roofing company.The work was hot,dangerous,and grueling.The next job I got wasn''t much better.After a couple of more back breakers,I decided to go back to school.I went to a technical college,graduated,and moved from back breaking work to a lot better pay and working conditions.It was that one move that enabled me to make the kind of money to do the kind of things I wanted to do--sail,and travel.It enabled me to charter boats in various locations in the world,buy the 26 foot boat I have now, and accumulate the savings I have now for my next bigger boat.The list goes on,but I think you get the idea.I think your way will work,but it will be that--work.As you''ve pointed out,crime doesn''t pay,so the only other thing that leaves is mundane,low paying,and hard physical jobs.As long as you can accept that,you''ll be o.k.It will take you longer to save to buy your boat,longer to save the money to live the dream,and longer to build up any kind of savings for retirement for after you can no longer sail.I''m sure there are others that have done it though.I have two sons a little older than you.Reading your comments remind me a lot of the things they used to say.I tried to tell them the same things I''m telling you,but they wouldn''t listen.They had to do it their way.They paid the price by the sweat of their brow.They saw the writing on the wall and eventually made some decisions that changed their lives for the better. They turned out o.k.,and I''m sure you will too. Good luck with your plans,and dreams.
The Lady Washington is one boat on the west coast that uses volunteer crew each summer. They are based in Aberdeen, but this next week they will be in Port Townsend at the wooden boat festival.
Lady Washington is a replica of the first American ship to sail in Washington I think, but anyone who has seen the Pirates of the Carribean movie saw the Lady Washington and her crew as it was repainted and sailed to be in the movie last year.
Also there are some people who do not use engines here in Bellingham. One I saw used oars in his 28 foot boat that was about 7500lbs displacement. I have some reservations about depending on oar power in some of the currents around here. Not to mention useing sweeps in a tight marina environment, but if you picked your days to sail and stayed out anchored, it could work.
|Magnusmurphy you said that i am stupid and "you''ll think back on this discussion and you will cry into your pillow." but why, could you or someone eles tell me why i am going to make a huge mistake? I am looking at it like i will save alot of money, buy a inexpensive sailboat(under $40,000) 27-40ft. Put atleast $10,000 in the bank, then after that i will be able to sail. Find some odd jobs when the $10,000 runs out. I am not really seeing the huge mistake in this. If it is a smaller boat u wont need as much fuel, even some people go engineless- thats a HUGE savings. Then other then that its just paying for food, mabey docking or use anchorages, and then paying for other governmental rip offs. It just looks like a easy life to me, i mean my father graduated from high school and became a machinist- he hated it it was hell to him worked for the company for 25 years. My brother graduated from high school and does masonary- he hates it. Alot of famous people are high school dropouts actors, scientists, inventors, musicians, ect. The criminal lifestyle does not require a highschool diapolma, its just the chance of going to prison for 1-100 years makes it not a good idea. Im looking at sailing as just a good life style, i think its better then working as a full time laborer for some corporation. If I am sounding very immature and naive to whomever is reading this, reply and knock common sense into me.

Rawfind, glad to hear you're in the same boat. I don't mean that in a bad way but it's encouraging to hear of another newbee who's learning patience too.Ive been learning as ive been waiting, used to check the hives every week when i stated now about every 2 weeks and not as intensive a check now, if all looks good just a quick check if im suspicious then i check further. I'm a bit surprised how long it's taken to build my hives up too and am looking forward to my first proper extraction! I have hand extracted some honey from several cutouts which was marvellous honey. A few of my frames are ready to extract now but I'm doubtful that I'll get enough to make it worthwhile extracting before winter.
Hi GuysRawfind - That is critical, I have half of my hives are in urban sites, the other half remote bush, the urban bees are about twice as productive in a honey sense.Shan777 - Looks some have come from splits, all all my hives are incredibly strong, i'm now still on the look out for swarms.Some hives i have split 2 times this year (its a great years for bee/ks lots of forage).About another 10 have come from swarms and cut outs.lol...if i had more boxes i would split again, (we have enough time in the season) to ramp up next years production.
yep one box of brood is more than enough rawfindotherwise they just get too broody.

Asian language including Chinese,Korean, Japanese.(but these all are script based language,if you like script you can think about these), but if you want to choose European language you can think about Spanish, french and german.
Manu | 29/06/2016
Hi Tabish You can opt form either of the two, as both the language are highly in demand. As one of the expert has given an good example, think about the field to which you would like to pursue in future. As per my research apart from French and Spanish, there is a really good demand for Japaneses experts.
hello. I would like to know which language has more demand and pay in India: German or French. and also how long will it take to learn japanese language? is it very tough to learn?

French is spoken in more countries as compared to other languages. So it would be better if french learning benefits you in some or the other way ,then u must go for it

German is the most widely spoken language in Europe. Knowing German language creates business/job opportunities. So I think you should go for it.

Dr Sanjib Kumar Acharya | 30/08/2016
Hello! For getting a translator job you need to study this language extensively for few years. You can learn German or French language as one add on skill to your core area of Chemistry which you should never give up. Improve your core competency on Chemistry. You may go for teaching this subject in your spare time to earn good additional revenue in offline or online mode. Good luck.

Naoki Tanaka, president of Japan's Center For International Public Policy Studies, told Tehran Times reporters that Iran has the right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful uses. He pointed out that Japan has possessed knowledge of nuclear energy for over forty years and it has only been used for peaceful purposes. He argued against a policy of sanctions which he felt was ineffective and urged Iran to engage in negotiations with other nations in pursuit of a resolution of their current conflict over nuclear energy. Tehran Times editor Esmaelli agreed there was need for negotiation and argued Iran wanted the end of double standards such as allowing Israel to have atomic development, including use of nuclear weapons, but denying such energy sources to Iran. Tanaka suggested part of the problem was that Iran had a history of being manipulated by outside western powers and that influenced their approach to the issue of trust.
Mr. Tanaka raises an important issue — Iran was dominated by western powers who even overthrew a moderate leader such as Mossadegh in the 1950s. It is difficult for a nation with such a history of interference to readily accept promises from those who previously had interfered in its internal affairs. This highlights the importance of American stepping away and allowing nations like Japan or Turkey to assume leadership in dealing with the nuclear energy issue. Perhaps, as a first step, America could end sanctions, and suggest a summit meeting between Iran and other nations it trusts could attempt to resolve the problem.

|Hiked up Camel's Hump via the Burrows trail with Kieva on a cold, partly cloudy Monday morning. Nice well defined trail leading to the junction with the VT Long Trail, and then a nice little alpine hike to the summit. Brutally cold day due to a fast moving cold front that came in when we started that morning. The summit has to be at least a -20 windchill since my nose hairs and my eyelids froze a few seconds after getting above treeline. My hands were comfortably cool, and I was wearing OR Alti Mitts (Rated to -40).. Goes to show how cold that wind was!

|I think this was my first 4000ft in Vermont, nice birthday present! :)
We climbed up Monroe Trail, missed a turn, made it to the Hut Clearing, then returned via the Long Trail until we met Monroe again. The last section of the road was very badly damaged by the last storms! In some places the water dug 3-5 feet into the road!!
We had excellent weather for this climb, clear and sunny but not too hot. Very windy at the top, but this only made it more fun! The crowds were entertaining but only up to a point. Way too many dogs on the trail! :)
The descent from the summit on the rocky face offered some beautiful photo opportunities and a little welcomed challenge! Loved that part, as well as the last ascent to the summit (just too crowded to fully enjoy it).
Found the benchmark at the top of the mountain - that's always exciting!
Not much wild life on the way - no wonder, with so many people...
All in all a very nice hike, would do it again, especially if the road gets repaired and can skip the first portion :)

|Up Monroe to Hut Clearing, south over the summit to Alpine Trail.
I prefer Mt Mansfield -- way more alpine zone, so you have some chance of avoiding the crowds. Camel's Hump offers excellent views; I'll have to try it in the off season or on a weekday.
I did enjoy the section of the Long Trail that traverses the south face of the Hump.
Road to Monroe trailhead is washed out, parking at the View Trail lot was overflowing but everybody found spots along the road.

Pidgeot and Snorlax are underleveled. Try to make your levels around the same range
EDIT: Nevermind. Used Rare Candies to get my Tyranitar to 55 (So he was Tyranitar) and owned Lance. What will I need them for anyway? :P
Help. I spent hours training to prepare for the Elite Four, and plowed through the Elite Four.. and big bad Lance stops me. His Dragonites resist almost everything I have and I don't know what to do... Without spending hours training again... And I don't really know a good place to train pre-elite-four so... And no I'm not swapping out members of my team. =P
My team is:
Lvl 49 Typhlosion, Quick Attack, Rollout, Flamethrower, Fire Blast
Lvl 46 Skarmory, Fly, Night slash, Steel wing, flash (Spikes wasn't doing me any good)
Lvl 37 Heracross, Endure, Close Combat, Aerial Ace, Brick Break
Lvl 39 Dragonair, Extremespeed, Surf, Aqua Tail, Dragon Rush
Lvl 49 Pupitar, Crunch, Headbutt, Earthquake, Screech
Lvl 40 Ursaring Strength, Scary Face, Rock Smash, Faint attack
I can plow through every member of his team but the three Dragonites, most I've gotten is one.. I kept Soft-resetting at the champion room...
Any tips without a ton of repetitiveness? Or a place to train Wild Pokemon that isn't the spot with the Miltanks and Dittos?
Oh, and is there a good way to get Oran Berries besides trading with my Platinum?

So I just got pummeled by lance and heres my pokemon:
Crobat Lvl 42 ( Fly, Wing Attack, Sludge Bomb, Mean Look)
Typhlosion Lvl 43 (Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Earthquake, Quick Attack)
Ampharos Lvl 46 ( Tackle, Thunder Wave, Discharge, Thunder)
Poliwrath Lvl 40 (Hypnosis, Focus Blast, Surf, Dig)
Dragonair Lvl 40 ( ExtremeSpeed, Dragon Pulse, Dragon Claw, Aqua Tail)
Kadabra Lvl 40 ( Recover, Psychic, Shadow Ball, Reflect)
Tell me, what do I have to do to beat lance?
I am having massive problems with defeating Red. I currently have 12 pokemon who are Lv. 30+, 6 who are Lv. 40+ and 4 who are Lv. 50+. Here is a list:
1. Dragonite Lv. 80
2. Ampharos Lv. 57
3. Typhlosion Lv. 56
4. Snorlax Lv. 51
5. Rapidash Lv. 43
6. Gyrados Lv. 41
7. Dewgong Lv. 37
8. Donphan Lv. 36
9. Tentacruel Lv. 35
10. Lickilicky Lv. 34
11. Loudred Lv. 34
12. Weedle Lv. 32
Hovering just below Lv. 30 (within three levels) I have another Gyrados, a Kricketot, and a Houndoom.
If it helps, Houndoom was recieved in a trade. I traded Ho-Oh for Dragonite just before the Elite 4, but I trained my Dragonite 27 levels (from Lv. 53). Dragonite has Fly, Waterfall, Surf and Outrage (PP15 after two max elixirs).
Basically, I would like to know:
- A good team to defeat Red.
- What level I must be.
- Possible movesets.
- Pokemon I should try to get.
iv just started soul silver a couple of days ago and i want chikorita can i trade it with someone on my friends list, even though i haven't seen it and its not in my pokedex. i started with cyndaquil so i cant find it on the game.
Togekiss or Crobat?
So I guess in general who is the better pokemon between those two? Which one would compliment my team better?
I was originally thinking Togekiss but it's attack stat is terrible and this pokemon's main flying type attack will be Fly so idk... plus I've ever used a Crobat before and it looks good
Spoiler:- Completed and Current Playthroughs:
Completed Teams:
Black Grass Monotype- &

To get Blue's number does Daisy need to massage the same pokemon 5 times, or does she only need to give 5 massages before she asks to see a full happiness pokemon? Also, is it possible to mess around with the clock to make it happen faster?
EDIT: never mind. I got Blue's number.

Good Evening,
I had a curious question and was wondering if anyone had a definitive answer. I recently unlocked the Pokemon Transfer lab in Pokemon White 2 and started transferring my irreplaceable pokemon (events, shinys, legends, etc). Well it wasn't until after I had finished that I realized that I never utilized the Arceus event in HG/SS. I actually didn't remember it until I saw the question on the Serebii Advent calendar.
Anyways, I understand that you can't trade pokemon from 5th Gen to 4th Gen. But my question is, does anyone know if there is a way to transfer the pokemon from the 5th gen back to the 4th gen using the GTS system. I figured since you can only request pokemon that appear in your pokedex, it shouldn't be an issue since Arceus is a 4th Gen pokemon.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I just know there are alot more people who are masters at exploiting the game, so I figured someone has probably done this before or at least attempted it.
I'm typically inactive between Spring and Fall. I'll be on as often as time allows.
Hey guys, I've realised my team in HeartGold so far has a pretty hard time defeating water types so I'm looking for a good electric type, or maybe grass, to help out in that area. My team consists of:
Pidgeotto L. 24
Croconaw L. 25
Growlithe L. 24
Geodude L. 24
I've just arrived in Olivine City. I would ideally like to use an electric type available in-game, but we'll see. Any suggestions for one? Thanks!
If someone could help me, please...
I have found wild Growlithes, and all of them by now got the o Flash Fire ability.
I wanted to know if after evolving there is a chance that the ability changes to Intimidate.
Thank you.

Another question: Currently I am at the top of Bell Tower, about to battle against Ho-oh. As I am not prepared to catch him and don't want to use Master Ball, can I faint Ho-oh and catch it later or is this my only single chance? If this was my only opponuty, I assume that is better I use Master Ball.

Kieran Gibbs says a proper rest between games will allow Arsenal to maintain the intensity in their performances from now until the end of the campaign.
Gibbs is one of a number of players who have swapped the sidelines for the first-team squad in recent weeks and the left back's own return from injury has coincided with a five-match winning streak in the Premier League.
Gibbs was not surprised to see the gap to third-placed Tottenham close so quickly but he knows Arsenal must sustain their current form to beat Everton on Wednesday.
"It is a relief to have a break until the next game and it was important for us to get that because we have played quite a lot recently in a short space of time," he told Arsenal Player.
"We should have players coming back from injury now so we should be getting some fresh legs looking to go for the rest of the season strongly.
"Football changes so much. We've seen over the last few seasons that anything can happen now and it is important for us to cement our place [in the top four] and keep winning.
"I saw Everton against Tottenham and they would have obviously been on a high after that. They are a good side and what the manager [David Moyes] has done with that squad is quite amazing.
"We know it will be a difficult game but we have the momentum and at the moment we are on a good run so we want to continue that."
Watch the full interview with Kieran on Arsenal Player now.
