Bel Ami Voyages: Love for Sail (see draft website at: http://www.wix.com/drdavegoodman/be…i-voyages)
I am a physician/boat captain/musician (piano, accordian, harmonica, bass clarinet) starting a new charter sailing venture. I have been sailing all my life, and love to sail. I own a beautiful world class 53 foot sailboat that is ideal for me and my mate and one other couple. I am a licensed captain. My greatest pleasure is to introduce new people to the joys of sailing the Virgin Islands, some of the most beautiful islands in the caribbean. For the past year I have been cruising in the Bahamas, and now have returned to the Virgin Islands to begin my charter business. You can find out more about what I've been up to over the past 3 years by going to my blog: http://www.belamivoyages.blogspot.com
There is an existing market of loving couples who are looking for a private, exclusive get-a-way for a special occasion, such as honeymoon, anniversary, or just a stress free holiday vacation away from the bustling crowds. The Virgin Islands is a major destination for newly married couples on their honeymoon. This is a relatively high end market, not your typical cruise ship couple. Rates for 7 days of all-inclusive sailing in the Virgin Islands is $6000. This includes all meals and beverages. Alternative packages range from 3 dinners and 3 lunches ($500 discount) to "captain only" where the couple and myself (the captain) actually go shopping, and all aboard help with meal preparation. Honeymooners get $1000 off any package. This is a great deal for new honeymooners who are on a relative budget and select the captain only charter: their cost is only $4000 plus expenses of food, beverage and port fees (around $100).
Another important target audience are couple who have taken a sailing course, and by virtue of the course are "certified" to do a "bareboat" charter, which means chartering their own sailboat without a captain. However, some of these couples have little experience, and a charter with Bel Ami Voyages would provide them with additional experience and give them the confidence to go out on their own the next time.
I have created a website at wix.com: the URL is http://www.wix.com/drdavegoodman/bel-ami-voyages. The bulk of my requirements are in the website, so I refer you to it. I would like to upgrade what I have done to a more professional level.
The home page is the most important...it should be the "grabber" for the female side of the couple (hence the little sailboat shooting hearts). The home page should be designed to reduce bounces. The site must also appeal to the male.
I also need to have a website that is different, unique and a step above the rest of I the charter boat website.
I actually need two websites: 1) "broker friendly" website that provides No contact information and 2) general public. Brokers would send inquires to the "broker friendly" website, to assure that potential clients contact them and not me. The only difference is 2) will have an additional contact page with my contact info, scheduling info, etc. One website would be "BelAmiVoyages.com" and the other would be "BelAmiVoyages.net"
On the website, there is a page referring to the vessel, that has a schematic of the vessel. What would be really great would be to have a webpage whereby the cursor hovered over the schematic and the matching picture showed up. I can do that on wix, and will probably try to do so while this contest is running.

This Thursday, we'll be reflecting on one of the most striking emotions that we humans possess – our ability to cry.
Had there ever been a time in your life when you get the feeling of being overwhelmed? That even when life is good, the stresses and strains of every day ups and downs take its toll on you? But then you are not doing anything about it, but just to suck it up and carry on, as if nothing's wrong?
Have you ever felt that your load is too heavy yet there ain't nothing you can do to lighten it up? Or somebody to help you carry it through? Ever felt that nobody cares for you? That you're all alone in this?
More often than we realized, these realities happened at one or more point in our lives. And the best solution to all of these shits? Yes – it is crying. Continue reading

While comic creator Mark Millar has been touting the "greenlight" for Kick-Ass 2 for years now, it turns out that production may finally get started this year. Deadline reports that Universal is in talks to make a sequel to Matthew Vaughn's excellent 2010 pic Kick-Ass. Vaughn is currently busy developing a sequel to X-Men: First Class, so Jeff Wadlow will be taking over directing duties this time around. Wadlow, who wrote and directed 2005's Cry_Wolf and directed the 2008 fighting-centered Never Back Down, wrote the script for Vaughn who I'm assuming will be producing. Hit the jump for more.
Lionsgate distributed the first Kick-Ass, but Vaughn owns the rights so he's been shopping them around to distributors. Per Deadline, it appears that Universal took a liking to the project and a greenlight is "expected shortly." The report also notes that talks have begun with cast members Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse to return, and the plan is to begin production in August. All the actors have been vocal about their desire to come back for the sequel in the past, so there shouldn't be a problem getting them to sign on.
The second series of Kick-Ass comics has Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl attempting to gather a group of superheroes against Red Mist's gang of villains, but there's no word on how closely Wadlow's script will adhere to the comics. Wadlow recently committed to directing the airplane thriller Non-Stop with Liam Neeson in the lead, but it's unknown how Kick-Ass 2 would affect that film's production. Hopefully Wadlow can bring a distinct visual style to the sequel and stay true to Vaughn's brutal yet humorous tone that he nailed in the original.

WSI Rules and Other Useful Info... Updated 8/6/2017
The rules have now been divided into two posts because of the additional information required. Please read all of the posts in this thread if you want to stay up to date on current revisions.
Basic information:
Registrations are monitored and posting privileges are granted at the discretion of the administrators. Yahoo!, Hotmail and GMail accounts ARE NOT ALLOWED for registration purposes because trolls and spammers are most likely to use them. In addition any registration with a proxy server IP Address or from known spamming ISP's will be automatically deleted. WSI is not a blocked website on any of the services, so there should be no need to use a proxy address to register. Any questions should be sent to email@example.com.
Donations are accepted and appreciated and will be put toward paying server fees. WSI is a privately owned website and and while we have recently started accepting advertising to help defray costs, it will not cover all the bills. That means the rest of the money is coming out of someone's pocket, and it can be expensive to run a site this large. If you'd like to do your part to help keep WSI running, please make a donation by subscribing. In addition to helping defray the server costs, you will receive additional privileges when you subscribe. Those privileges will be determined by the level of subscription you choose. Higher level subscriptions have access to a personal Blog space and private forums for subscribers only. To subscribe, please visit the Subscription Information Page and pick the level that best suits your needs and budget.
Please treat the Mods and Admins at WSI with respect. All of us do this not only for free, but actually help pay for the privilege of running this site out of sheer love for the White Sox and because we enjoy having a community where everyone feels welcome to talk Sox baseball and many other topics. If a Mod or Admin asks you to stop doing something, please just do it. None of us look forward to banning people - especially long time posters, but none of us are afraid to do it if the situation calls for it.
Signatures should be monitored by the poster who chooses to have one. Failure to do so risks your signature privileges. Please refer to the Subscription Information Page for detailed explanations of what your privileges are.
Posting images-is allowed. You may add one picture per thread. For more than one post links to your images instead. Not everyone surfs WSI on a monster broadband connection and multiple images slow down the load times for everyone.
The only threads guaranteed to be left open on these forums are Sox related threads. All other topics of discussion are at the discretion of the moderators and administrators. Off-topic threads are always subject to review and will be closed at the discretion of the Mods/Admins.
Any thread that exceeds 500 posts will be closed and a second thread started with a link to the original thread in the first post of the new "Thread II: Return of The Thread" thread. This is to limit strain on the server and keep the site running smoothly.
E-mail Addresses must be kept up to date. This is not only how you maybe contacted if we need to tell you something, but if your e-dress is old and dead, it causes bounced messages to spam the administrator's accounts with dead e-mail notifications. If this happens too often, you may get in trouble for it.
Please try to familiarize yourselves with all of the forums and try to stay on topic within a given thread. For example, please don't update other game scores in the Sox game threads. If you want to talk about what a rival team is doing find the appropriate place and post there.
General Conduct: We built WSI as a place for good discussion. We don't want the wide open screaming flame wars that occur on many sites. We ask that people not escalate confrontations and if you are feeling angry and getting ready to start screaming at another poster, perhaps it's a good time to take a step back and calm yourself down. Feel free to discuss anything the rules permit but don't let it turn into a fight, that's not why this site is here. If you are looking for a place you can scream and rant and rave at other posters, perhaps you should look elsewhere. In addition if one of your posts/threads "disappears" don't assume it was an internet glitch and repost it. Check the Roadhouse or do a search to find out if your post has been dealt with by a moderator.
Thank you.
-WSI Staff

Riding shotgun on the Sox bandwagon since before there was an Internet...
Last edited by voodoochile; 02-25-2012 at 10:13 AM.
Things that will get you in trouble are listed below. If you receive a ban for any reason, DON'T re-register in an effort to get around that ban. If you do your posting privileges will be permanently revoked. If you feel a ban is unfair or has been erroneously applied, contact the Administrators by using the Contact Us link at the bottom of any forums page. Provide your user name and a brief description of the ban you recieved.
No Warnings will be issued. You risk your membership permanently by violating these rules even one time and minimum suspensions will be measured in weeks/months at the discretion of the Mod/Admin who deals with the Post/Thread:
Selling Pirated Material or Telling others how to circumvent Copyright laws is a fast way to get this website in a lot of legal trouble and violators will be dealt with harshly. These violations include - but are not limited to:
Political Discussions: We tried it before. It didn't work. There are many places on the Internet you can discuss politics, this isn't one of them. Don't start that thread, don't hijack that thread, just don't. As noted above feel free to register and post at www.wsiforums.com to discuss all political topics.
Making claims that decisions about Sox player personnel or the playing time they receive is based on racial bias: Be prepared to back it up with some kind of evidence other than your opinion.
Suggesting that any person should receive physical violence as punishment: That includes umps who make bad calls, players who make errors, sportswriters you disagree with or anyone else. Don't suggest they should be shot, beaten, etc. for their supposed transgression.
Personal Information: Don't post personal information about anyone other than yourself on these forums. That includes last names, address, phone numbers or anything else which could be used to identify that person in the "real world".
Penalties will be enforced as follows:
Violating Copyright laws: This can lead to legal troubles for the website. In order to avoid such problems, posters are not allowed to quote from copyrighted material. Instead, you may do one of the following:
Using female names as an Insult. Yes, this includes calling Jon Garland, "Judy." It belittles women by implying they are inherently inferior to men and we don't allow it. In addition, implying a given male player has female genitalia will get you in trouble. Just because it's a clinical term doesn't mean it can be used as an insult.
Using the word "Retarded/Retard" as an insult. These words have clinical meanings and can be used in that manner, but if it's demeaning for people with developmentally disabled relatives to use this word as an insult.
Using the word "Gay" to express negative emotions. Expressions like "that is so gay" are degrading to homosexuals and not allowed at WSI.
Insulting a persons physical appearance: If the best insult you can come up with regarding an opposing player, ump, manager, Sox player or really anyone in general is a rip on them being ugly, fat, or otherwise physically less than perfect, please keep it to yourself. It says a lot more about you that you give a crap about that stuff than it does about the person you are ripping on. Try to have some substance in your complaints. It's a sign of mental weakness if all you can think to say is an attack on a person's appearance...
Bullying is not allowed. This includes but is not limited to boasting about putting another poster on ignore.
Discussing Attendance - no one wants to hear about it. We all go to as many games as time and finances afford. Making broad sweeping generalizations about Sox fan loyalty is trolling. We don't allow trolling.
Replying to a thread/post simply to say, "I hate this topic" or "Why are we talking about this at WSI?" It is considered trolling. If you feel a thread/post violates the rules, feel free to report it, but just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's a violation.
Altering the text in quoted posts and implying you have "fixed the post". It is deceitful to alter another poster's text. We don't allow it. This can lead to bans of several months if the behavior persists.
Repeatedly Hijacking Threads: Try to keep it on topic and don't assume just because you like something others will too. Repeatedly hijacking threads with off topic discussions is not allowed. In particular we ask fans of other teams not to hijack other team threads with references to their team - Keep the Bulls' talk in the Bulls' threads and the Hawks' talk in the Hawks' threads. However: if someone does post an off topic comment please don't jump all over it. That merely allows the thread to devolve into a fight and shines extra light on the hijack which can end up giving it legs and creating the very situation we are hoping to avoid. A little patience a little "turn a blind eye" can go a long way to helping solve the problem before it starts.

Ticket Codes
Effective immediately, we will not permit the posting of any online codes for White Sox ticket sales regardless of whether or not the codes provide a discount for tickets.
This includes pre-sale codes, in-season codes and any other codes which are not released to the general public by the Chicago White Sox. If the White Sox release a code to the general public (not a specific group or organization), post a link to the announcement. The WSI staff will determine if the link is permitted.
Season ticket holders pay thousands of dollars for the benefit of receiving the pre-sale codes.
Anyone who violates this rule will be dealt with in an appropriate manner.
Just a thought and it's actually covered in the rules above but call this a suggestion...
If someone posts an off topic comment in a thread you don't have to freak out and point it out after the very first post. You can actually ignore it and stay on topic until the hijack grows legs and actually does "ruin" a thread.
Jumping all over the very first off topic post to scream your indignation merely accomplishes that which you seek to avoid and allows topics to devolve into fights more easily.
People who do that are no better than those who regularly hijack threads and are equally guilty of "ruining threads".
Okay, just a reminder, discussion of attendance is not allowed at WSI. Scroll up to see that it's actually listed.
The next person to make a disparaging remark about Sox attendance will get a week off. I swear I will do it, you have been warned.
Please refrain from using the term rape to describe a crushing victory or loss. We don't need to follow the Internet down the rabbit hole and into the sewer. It's one of the things that makes WSI better than other message boards. Let's try to live up to the standard we set. There are plenty of other terms you can use without having to cross that particular line.
Triggered by the Robin Ventura management thread but not exclusively due to it, I am reposting this part of one of my replies.
We are starting to get numerous complaints about the tone of the Sox Clubhouse forum, including a few subscribers saying they are going to stop helping out and even leaving the site altogether due to the tone of the posts and threads these last 6 months. Things are going to change in the next year and the folks who cannot control their tempers while posting and insist on bullying everyone are gonna either learn to adapt or leave. It's going to be my off-season agenda. This is supposed to be a place for rational baseball discussion. You can be angry and upset and even express those without letting it deteriorate into the constant spats that have become all too common. It's not going to happen again. I don't have any specific people in mind at the moment, but by next spring we are going to be WSI again not the place a bunch of ranters come to vent their spleen every time the Sox do something that fails to live up to their personal standards of how the team should be run. You have been warned...
Yo folks as a reminder, attendance discussions are not allowed. From the rules post:
New users who have less than 10 posts cannot post links without moderator approval. If you are in this category and don't see your post, that's why. Please be patient, someone will get to it soon.
This rule is in place to help reduce spam.
Spoiler Threads
If you create a thread to talk about things you already know about a show, please put the word *SPOILERS* (just like that) at the front of the thread title. It prevents people from accidentally clicking on the thread thinking they are clicking on a non-spoiler thread when they click straight through from the main forum menu.
Clarification on what types of trades can be conducted on these forums.
Edit: The site will no longer allow trading threads as the variability in price/value of items can lead to legal issues as well as hurt feelings and flame wars if someone feels taken advantage of. Please don't start any threads asking to trade for anything on these forums.

Just an FYI, if your post gets blocked, don't assume it's a glitch. Check your post thoroughly for phrases that might trigger a spam blocker program to go after you. This is mostly to block porn spam bots, so if you are using a colorful or off-color phrase, that won't get the mods mad at you, you still might be prevented by the automatic back end security. Don't try to repost, repeated failures will get you booted and it's a PITA to get you back in that involved IP addresses and special efforts by West.
If you get stopped, go back and check to see if you might have triggered this system and when in doubt rephrase.
If all you have to add to the conversation is one more tired trollish dig at Sox management. Post it somewhere else.
I'm over it.
If you are looking for examples of this behavior check the top few threads in the Roadhouse. They are littered with posts that serve no purpose other than to stoke the posters ego and incite anger. They add nothing to the conversation and make the site look bad. If you really have to get a dig in at JR or KW or Robin or Hahn for things like lack of accountability or lack of basic knowledge about baseball this is not the site to do it anymore, period.

Hijacked Threads
It is becoming an increasing problem where every single thread is becoming about replacing Robin or other management personnel.
Posts that do this from now on will be trashed to the Roadhouse. Repeated violators will be warned.
Let's try to keep threads on topic and not force the mods to work to clean up so many messes. There is plenty of places to gripe about those topics you don't need to force every single thread to discuss it.
This is NOT up for discussion.

Red Bandana Silk Wild Rag
Classic Red Bandana Silk Wild Rag Scarf
Luxury 100% Silk Wild Rag
- 36"x36"
- 12 mm Silk
- Durable sewn edges
- Original Whipin Design
What is a wild rag?
A "wild rag" is a western scarf traditionally worn around the neck and secured with either a buckaroo knot or scarf slide. Wild rags are traditionally made of silk, cotton or other natural fibers but recently have been made in satin and polyester as well so we can offer hundreds of color, pattern, fabric, and sizes combinations to meet the demands of todays western fashion. Although people today wear wild rags for fashion, we still serve the working cowboys who rely on wild rags for their intended purpose when men and women alike wore wild rags to to keep warm and keep dust out of their nose and mouth when they were working outside on the ranch or country.
What are your wild rags made of?
The fabric is listed on each product page.
We create our own original designs and prints them on either 100% silk or a beautiful silky satin that is 100% polyester, we call it fools gold because it's frequently mistaken for silk.
Our silk wild rags are all a 12mm silk which is a light yet extremely durable weight. We do this so that your Whipin can withstand wear and tear, weather and washing unlike the 8mm silk which is used by other companies.
We created the silky satin line with our western fashionistas in mind, we offer 100% polyester satin again printed with our own original designs and art that looks so real no on will believe it's satin. It has the softness and subtle sheen that you expect from fine silk scar and they come in a wide selection of colors and patters to fit everyones style and budget.
What size wild rag or scarf is best for me?
We design all of our scarves with women in mind and after extensive research we have found that most women prefer a 36"x36" wild rag, the 36" offers women enough variation to tie buckaroo knots as well as head scarves without being overwhelmed by all the extra fabric or losing the ability to wear certain styles because of lack of size that happens with a 34" or even 35"x35" wild rag.
Most men on the other hand prefer a 42"x42" wild rag especially if they are bigger guys or buckaroos. We offer custom wild rags in any size you choose. If you're interested.
Our scarves range from 18"x18" to 28"x28" it will state on each product description, classic red bandanas are usually 22"x22" for a better idea of size.

Mark Redwine: former FBI profiler won't talk to him about son Dylan's death
The father of Dylan Redwine says he might be the one a former FBI profiler recently called a 'person of interest' in his son's death but he doesn't know because authorities have rebuffed his efforts to speak with them.
"I've been in communication with the La Plata County Sheriff's Department and they have no interest in communicating with me right now," Mark Redwine, the father of deceased 13-year-old Dylan Redwine, said Saturday morning. "I may or may not be that person of interest. Right now there are more questions than answers."
The Redwine case jumped back into the headlines this week after former FBI profiler Pete Klismet made statements implying Read in-depth story about Redwine case
"Read story about Klismet's statementsthat we are very encouraged that we have crossed the bridge from the unknown to the known," Klismet was quoted as saying in the Durango Herald.
Sheriff's investigators also revealed that they conducted other searches on Middle Mountain Road, where Dylan's body was discovered in the vicinity of his father's house near Vallecito Reservoir in the summer of 2013 and found "items of interest," according to the Herald report.
"He's not made any contact with me," Redwine said Saturday morning, referring to Klismet. "Everything that is being said is being implied. I think people are reading a lot more into this than is warranted."
Klismet has not identified the person of interest he is referring to and Redwine said no one has told him who it is. But Redwine said it would be fair to say that authorities have previously indicated that they were primarily focusing their investigation on him.
"Everything that has been said is being implied," Redwine said.
When first called Saturday morning for comment, Redwine brusquely stated, "At this point I'm not talking," and hung up the phone.

Last night the Cincinnati Modern Quilt Guild had our monthly meeting. Our guild is working on a big exhibition and a lot of our members are making quilts that will be on display next Spring. But the quilts need to be finished by January 1, and I honestly haven't even really had the chance to give much thought to the design of mine. So, feeling a bit inspired by our meeting, I went to work late last night and began sketching. I'm not exactly sure that I'm going to stick to the red, white, and aqua color scheme, but I had fun playing around with those colors.
For the exhibition we are all making quilts that have a modern take on a traditional block, so it will be really fun to see how everyone interprets that challenge. Right now I'm thinking large scale blocks, and most likely solid cottons, but I'm also toying with the idea of working really scrappy and kind of creating my fabric out of lots of little pieces of fabric in similar colors and tones. Hmmmm.....decisions, decisions.

Rotterdam may have lost many of its historic buildings to the bombings of WW2, but its strategic location, multiculturalism, and vibrant port have since transformed this old Dutch city into a modern hotbed for cutting edge architecture and design. With contemporary structures popping up left and right, there is certainly no shortage of inspiration here, but if there is one design that's slated to change the face of this port city, it's the Rotterdam Market Hall. Designed by MVRDV, and currently under construction, the new market hall will be a towering 100,000 sq meter tunnel-shaped structure that fuses a bustling green market with residences, shopping, restaurants and more. We recently spoke to the hall's project leader, MVRDV architect Anton Wubben, about the landmark design. Read ahead for some of Anton's insight on the project, as he discusses everything from the flexible suspended glass facades to what inspired the shape of the building.
INHABITAT: How did you get your start with MVRDV?
Anton: After my architecture studies in Delft, I worked for one year as a freelance researcher at the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency. During this more analytic period of work I decided to finally move to the field of architecture. MVRDV was on the top of my list of offices to work at, and one interview and five days later I was working on my first deadline. At that time, the market hall was in the competition phase. I got interested in the project and joined the team in the next phase. During the process my role changed to project leader.
INHABITAT: Your office is based in Rotterdam — a city that is considered to be a hot-bed for modern design and architecture — do you feel that you have more freedom to pursue unconventional designs as a result?
Anton: Rotterdam is a very active and highly ambitious city with lots of new things happening. This always inspires people to be creative themselves and believe that they can make things happen.
INHABITAT: How did MVRDV's involvement in the Rotterdam Market Hall project come about?
Anton: It started with the competition design that we submitted together with our client, Provast. The competition was held by the city. Not only did they make the decision to let our team build this project, but they are one of the investors of the project as they are the owners of the parking garage.
INHABITAT: What inspired the Market Hall design? What gave you the idea to flank housing on the outside of the structure?
Anton: The building is located at one of the biggest open squares of the Netherlands, which is surrounded by big massive buildings like the library and the Sint-Laurens church. We wanted to add another impressive volume to this palette.
The original masterplan showed two rows of apartments, with the space in between covered by a low roof. We imagined taking away this roof and "bending" the apartments over the market space would make more sense. It would create a fantastic space underneath the apartments and the two functions would be combined and work in synergy. The apartments have windows looking down to the market, making them special compared to standard apartments.
INHABITAT: The building is of a massive scale (100,000 sq m public market space covered in an arch of ten floors of 228 apartments) and incorporates a variety of diverse uses into one structure – what is the approach to managing the design/construction of such an elaborate building?
Anton: We worked closely with the different advisors form the start of the design to be sure that we wouldn't miss a thing, and that the design would be integrated. From the start it was clear that the design would be a development of all specialties and that it would require some unconventional solutions.
For example, the facade has been carefully developed by our design team together with companies with a wide experience of making these kinds of complicated facades. We wanted an "invisible" facade to connect inside and outside, without huge beams behind the glass. We have been looking at examples abroad and have been talking to the developers of these facades.
By including all the advisors in the design process from the beginning, a lot of problems were avoided. But more importantly, having all the specialists in one room from the beginning made it possible to develop the design on all levels and to create a truly integrated design. An example of the product of this is the fresh air that is needed in the market space.
INHABITAT: How has the design been received thus far by the residents of Rotterdam?
Anton: People like the building and see it as an icon that Rotterdam can identify itself with. At this moment the building site is just very impressive being an enormous gap of two soccer fields in plan with a depth of about 15 meters. Everyone is excited to see the building unfold.
INHABITAT: What is your favorite part of the design?
Anton: I'm looking forward to the moment when I am standing on one of the glass floors on the patio of the penthouses that give a 90 degree view on the market 35 meters below. It is the perfect example of a succesful integration of apartments and the market itself.
INHABITAT: What do you hope the market hall will bring to the city of Rotterdam?
Anton: The Market Hall will be a great social place to meet, to buy food, have a drink or good dinner. It will be a great meeting place and a space that is like no other. On an urban level it will give extra energy to the development of the Laurens quarter, which is the pre-war center of Rotterdam. It will help to connect this area with the new city center.

Some of them are hackers who break the code in the game to find what are called "glitches" (getting outside a map or an invisible hole in a wall) and others use more analog ways of doing it. It brought down SOCOM 3, SOCOM Combined Assault, and now it's Call of Duty 4. What are called "interrupters" are being used more and more, the older the game gets. An interrupter stops the signal of the game for the opposing team, while the team with the interrupter can move into position before the game starts. Then, the switch is flicked again, your team is none the wiser. At least until you lose or it's made obvious. This tactic usually is undetectable because it happens while the game is loading. Sometimes it's right out there - a signal interrupt message will flash on the screen. The team without the interrupter will think it's just a server error and then the game will resume like nothing happened. Except, now you are more likely to lose the game.
It's not very technical, but devastating to online play. Designers spend hundreds of hours making maps as perfect as possible and fun to play at the same time. But with the flick of a switch, all the tactics and planning of a team can be wasted by one cheater. Ultimately, it will make online games like SOCOM: Confrontation or last year's Game Of The Year Call of Duty: Modern Warfare unplayable. Just knowing that whatever game you get could be glitched or interrupted for the other teams advantage makes playing the game seem pointless. Might as well sell the game and move on hoping for the best.
I mention this because I play with a bunch of guys on COD4 and we have a pretty good team. But tonight we played another team that we thought were better. Then the obvious happened, they went too far. They flicked the interrupter switch just a bit too long. A player for the opposing team was able to stab my character dead within seconds of the game start. On the map we were playing, it would have taken him at least 25+ seconds to get to me, but there he was. Now it's ruined. I don't know if I can continue to play a game with such blatant cheating, knowing that the developer of the game will do nothing to stop it.
Sorry COD4, my love for you is dead.

Sean Cook necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 40 diseños de 7 diseñadores freelance.
Cook Coaching & Consulting Ltd/HigherEdCareerCoach.Com/HigherEdLifeCoach.com
My name is Sean Cook and I am a Life Purpose and Career Coach. I have a problem with branding. You see, I have 3 sites (currently) and I want to come up with a coherent, unified "Brand Image" My company is Cook Coaching & Consulting Ltd. My main web site, HigherEdCareerCoach.Com, is geared toward helping higher ed professionals plan & manage their careers. My next site, HigherEdLifeCoach.Com, is geared toward helping college students figure out ways to handle life transitions that come with college. My last site, SeanCook.Net, is going to be more @ me and my company, and bill me as a coach/trainer/speaker. I'm looking for a logo or identifier that can unify my brand into something coherent across all three. I want something academic & professional, crisp & engaging & I would be very happy if it was fun (in a subdued, academic kind of way). See designs I currently use for ideas. I do like my current logo at HECC b/c it has an academic-looking building, and I like the "Collegiate" style of font. Ideas that can incorporate some of that same feel would be great. Also, if there are good (not goofy) ways to symbolize coaching-goalposts, coach's whistles or just thing that "imply" that sort of thing, that would be great. This is my 1st venture into 99 Designs, so I'm looking forward to seeing what people come up with.
There are a few targets (as explained above) but here are the main ones...
*Higher Ed Professionals (think more student affairs/academic advising/student services than faculty)
*High School students wanting to know what to expect from college life outside the classroom
*College students adjusting to transitions
*Parents of College Students that are adjusting to transitions
*Colleges and Companies looking for trainers and speakers
*New grads looking to make the college to career transition
*People who want to move into higher ed career fields
*People who want to transition out of higher ed career fields
*Higher Ed Job seekers that are unemployed (or underemployed)
*Long-track professionals looking to climb the ladder of success
I realize this is too much, which is why I am hoping for ideas that will hint at some sort of unified theme.
*Must be crisp, clean, academic
*Can be fun without being goofy
*Would like fonts like Collegiate, but open to others
*Want logos that will work across my sites.
*To help w/ this, here are colors I currently use on my sites:
Higher Ed Career Coach: Kind of a blue/grey/white/black feel with
4a80a0, A8A8A8, BRC960, DDDDDD
Higher Ed Life Coach: Orange/White/Blue/Grey. Orange is FF8A0F, Lt. Blue is 2080E0
SeanCook.Net uses a skin and is pretty much in the blue/grey/white arena as well.
I would like to be able to use final logo (or some version of it-for example, let's say the main part of the logo is the same, but can be matched to different title text for each site. Or it could be recolored.
I realize this is a tall order in some ways, and will likely be a challenge. Thanks to those of you willing to give it a shot. I know I'm asking a lot here.

On 19 June, FRA presented the findings of the EU LGBT Survey during an academic discussion under the title 'Is Sexual Diversity Dividing Europe?' at the University of Amsterdam pointing to the fear, isolation and discrimination that are common in Europe's LGBT community.
The presentation was given alongside the Netherlands Institute of Social Research (SCP) which was also invited by the Mosse Foundation and Amsterdam Research Center for Gender and Sexuality to present its findings.
The SCP recently published an in-depth analysis of previous surveys on the attitudes of European citizens to homosexuality - exploring and explaining developments and differences between countries.
The discussions focused on the overall implications for future research and government policy resulting from the work of FRA and SCP.

By Shannon Carlin, Radio.com
That collaboration between Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett finally got a release date.
The pair arrived at Today this morning (July 29) in a white Rolls Royce to announced that their jazz duets album, Cheek to Cheek will be out on September 23.
Fans can purchase their first single, the Cole Porter classic, "Anything Goes" on iTunes. Listen to the duet below.
Though some might questions Gaga's jazz pedigree, she was quick to note that she's been singing jazz standards since she was a teenager. But, it was singing with Tony, which she says is "so natural" that let her know she had the chops.
"I was so nervous to go into the studio with him, I just wanted him to hear I have an authentic jazz voice and that I studied that," she said. "If he can hear that, I'm okay. If he can't hear it, I'm not an authentic jazz voice."
Related: Watch Lady Gaga's Surprise Performance with Tony Bennett at Montreal Jazz Fest
Luckily, Bennett knew she was a real jazz talent and even questions why she bothers doing her art pop when she could just be doing jazz."She sings so wonderfully, she's actually a great jazz singer," he said.
"You're not so bad yourself," Gaga told Bennett.

Here's what indie music was missing in 2011 - the reliable 12-track 40 minute thrash-down. Any rock band naming their debut after a Justin Bieber hit have got to be worth investigating, and Tribes certainly are, resolutely denying any change in music since the year the Longpigs broke up. One glance at their cover art tells you all you need to know: 'We take ourselves more seriously than Towers of London, and also, it's well past time grunge made a comeback.' There's an army of Chalk Farm teens who agree with them, flashing their iPhone lighter apps at any of the band's lively in-stores. And quite right too, because aside from the ripped jeans, bongs and Kurt Cobain worship - plus the hoarse production quality they've achieved by demanding they be recorded on tape - Tribes aren't too terrible at what they do.
They also aren't too brilliant. Grunge-soaked it may be, but Baby is a defiantly London album, less Smashing Pumpkins and more Coming Up-era Suede. The mix of screaming, distortion and catsuits has been cut to fit ex-Melody Maker readers, the stoner riffs and vocals incorporating nods to US sitcoms and Blur. It's a garish mix that occasionally lines up: single 'We Were Children' balances Johnny Lloyd's Drums impersonation with Dan White's Eighties-friendly, mostly triumphant guitar solos. The hook sticks, and when Lloyd squeals "On no, stranger / You're just like me / These things happen / We were children in the mid Nineties" you can feel the irony on his lips. 'Halfway Home' is even more tongue-in-cheek; a quiet, post-pub comedown with a guitar break like a harpooned orca. The fey folk beginning sets you up for James Taylor. Lloyd's cry of "I'm not in love with you" sounds more like he's trying to convince himself he's 10cc.
It's when Tribes try to crank things up that they begin to come unstuck. There's enough background wattage on Baby to light up a business park, but when the band really go for it - usually about once a track - it's like watching poodle rock being shot with a tranquiliser. Something's stopping them finding their own niche in the scene, and keeps them flitting across the Atlantic stuck in 1994. The crumbling streets of 'Corner of an English Field' do a fine job of painting the UK in all its cider-stained, anti-Olympic glory, but as Lloyd takes a walk to the places he would play (only to find a child has passed away, and it hasn't been the same), it's like seeing Blur's 'Parklife' transported to an actual park. Speaking of Blur, 'Alone or With Friends' has to be the most unashamed 'Tender' knock-off this decade, feeding psychedelic licks through Damon Albarn's echo chamber. It's a glaring attempt despite Lloyd's decoy of sex tips in the lyrics: "Just let go and let your body do the work / Like an angel made of stone, in the dirt."
The cookie cutter style of Baby isn't offputting, and ultimately comes down to one question: do you like eating biscuits? Tribes' plagiarising isn't as brazen as, say, The Enemy on Music for the People, but it isn't too far off - there's not much here to peg Baby out from any other album made on two Fender Strats and a provisional driving licence. Angst comes pasted in in tar brush strokes, whether it's 'When My Day Comes' and its throaty dad-rock (so clumsy even Bryan Adams wouldn't confess to it) or the Nineties pastiche of 'Walking in the Street' which blends 'Two Princes' with Ned's Atomic Dustin's guitars. It's a jumble, but a lot of bands have started far worse, and Tribes at least know roughly who they're aiming for. If you got concussed during the first Pearl Jam tour and have only just come out of your coma, boy, have we got a great new sound for you.

Jupp began his career with the Essex-based British RB group the Orioles in the early '60s. The band earned a devoted local following in the early '60s, yet they never had the opportunity to record. The Orioles broke up late in 1965 after Jupp was arrested for not making alimony payments to his wife. Three years later, he returned to music, forming Legend, who laid the groundwork for English pub rock of the early '70s. Following the release of their third album in 1971, Legend disbanded and Jupp took another lengthy break from music. When he was coaxed back into performing in 1975 by Lee Brileaux, the lead singer of Dr. Feelgood, pub rock was in its last days yet Jupp was well respected in the scene, since both Ducks Deluxe and Dr. Feelgood had recorded versions of his songs (Cheque Book and Down at the Doctors, respectively).
Jupp released his first solo single, Nature's Radio, on Arista Records in 1978. The single led to a contract with Stiff Records, who released the Old Rock 'N' Roller single and the Juppanese album in 1978; the bulk of Juppanese was recorded with Rockpile and produced by Nick Lowe. Released the same year as his debut, Mickey Jupp's Legend featured material from his previous band. Following the release of Juppanese, Jupp joined Stiff's Rail Tour, although he left the lineup before it hit the U.S. because he was afraid of flying. Shortly afterward, he left Stiff Records and signed with Chrysalis in 1979. The same year he released Long Distance Romancer, which was produced by 10cc members Kevin Godley and Lol Creme; like Juppanese, it failed to gain a large audience. Jupp moved over to AM Records in 1982, releasing Some People Can't Dance. After releasing one more record on AM, 1983's Shampoo Haircut and Shave, he was dropped from the label. Jupp spent the rest of the '80s and '90s touring the U.K., releasing the occasional album on independent labels. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

WBC Power Rankings
After taking a few weeks off to write my research paper, I'm back with a look at the World Baseball Classic. Lets get into it:
1. United States- Surprisingly their team doesn't have the most stars in the tournament, but depth and an improved mindset is what should lead Team USA to its first WBC title.
2. Dominican Republic- You know your offense is good when it's the best in the tournament while missing Albert Pujols, Alfonso Soriano, Miguel Tejada and Vladimer Guerrero.
3. Venezuela- Felix Hernandez will take the ace role from injured pitcher Johan Santana. Miguel Cabrera, Bobby Abreu, and Magglio Ordonez anchor the offense.
4. Japan- The defending champs will be back with a target on their shoulders. Player you've never heard of to watch out for: starting pitcher Yu Darvish. Also note that their pitchers are in mid-season form, a huge advantage.
5. Cuba- Electrifying shortstop Yulieski Gourriel and the Cuban national team aim to avenge their 10-6 loss in the championship.
6. Korea- Shin-Soo Choo is the lone major leaguer on a team that advanced to the semifinals in 2006.
7. Mexico- A team with plenty of major league experience that knocked Team USA out of the last Classic.
8. Puerto Rico- Carlos Beltran leads a team of aging stars that would have been title contenders a decade ago.
9. Canada- Eric Bedard was their only legitimate pitcher. They just won't have enough arms despite an offense with Justin Morneau, Russell Martin and Jason Bay.
10. Panama- Carlos Lee and Manny Corpas outline a roster built with 15 minor leaguers.
11. Italy- Mike Piazza steps down from catcher to hitting coach.
12. Netherlands- Even Andruw Jones can't help this team… then again he can barely help his regular teams.
13. Chinese Taipei- Chein-Ming Wang opted not to play, but there still is some unknown talent hidden on the Taiwan roster.
14. Australia- Little to be excited about for the team down under.
15. China- One Billion people and 100 olympic medals but baseball has still yet to catch on.
16. South Africa- Have never produced a MLB player.

A rich tasting classic Highland malt double matured in casks which previously held Montilla Fino sherry.
Tasting Notes
Sweeter than usual on the palate, rich fruit flavours are nonetheless complemented by a typical briny character. The finish is long with the influence of Montilla Fino cask-wood.

Senate votes to let veterans seek treatment outside of VA hospitals
WASHINGTON -- The Senate has approved a bill making it easier for veterans who've endured long wait times for VA medical care to receive treatment from local doctors instead. The measure closely resembles a bill approved Tuesday in the House. Lawmakers say they are optimistic a compromise version can soon be sent to President Obama for his signature.
The Senate bill, approved 93-3, would authorize about $35 billion over three years to pay for the outside care, hire hundreds of doctors and nurses and lease 26 new health facilities in 17 states and Puerto Rico.
Three Republican senators -- Bob Corker of Tennessee, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Jeff Sessions of Alabama -- voted no. Another four did not vote.
Aides have indicated the Senate will move swiftly to reconcile their bill with similar House legislation that passed Tuesday afternoon.
The Veterans Affairs Department released an audit this week showing that more than 57,000 veterans have had to wait at least three months for initial appointments. Some vets who asked for appointments never got them.
As Congress moves to help thousands of military veterans enduring long wait times for VA medical care, the FBI said it has opened a criminal investigation into the Department of Veterans Affairs.
FBI Director James Comey said Wednesday that the investigation was being led by the FBI's field office in Phoenix, which he described as the "primary locus of the original allegations" being investigated by the VA's Office of Inspector General.
"We're working with the VA IG to follow it wherever the facts take us," Comey told the House Judiciary Committee.
The inspector general said in a report last month that 1,700 veterans seeking treatment at the Phoenix VA hospital were at risk of being "lost or forgotten." The VA has confirmed that at least 35 veterans died while awaiting treatment in Phoenix, although officials say they do not know whether the deaths were related to long waiting times for appointments.
Comey did not elaborate on the investigation, but a Justice Department official said earlier Wednesday that the department had formally asked the FBI to investigate allegations related to the VA. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss an ongoing criminal investigation on the record.
Comey's remarks came as the Senate was poised to vote as soon as Wednesday on a measure making it easier for veterans who have encountered delays getting initial visits to receive VA-paid treatment from local doctors instead.
"Maybe we can show the United States of America that people can come together on a very, very important issue and do it in rapid fashion," said Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee.
The Justice Department had said that federal prosecutors were reviewing documents from the inspector general to determine whether to launch a full-fledged investigation. The involvement of the FBI represents an escalation into concerns of possible criminal conduct by VA employees, though it remains unclear whether investigators will find any basis for prosecution.
Richard Griffin, the VA's acting inspector general, issued a scathing report last month that confirmed allegations of excessive waiting time at VA hospitals and inappropriate scheduling practices. He told lawmakers his investigators were probing for wrongdoing at 69 agency medical facilities, up from 42 two weeks ago
The VA, which serves almost 9 million veterans, has been reeling from mounting evidence that workers falsified reports on wait times for medical appointments in an effort to mask frequent, long delays. An internal audit released this week showed that more than 57,000 new applicants for care have had to wait at least three months for initial appointments and an additional 64,000 newly enrolled vets who requested appointments never got them.
VA Secretary Eric Shinseki resigned May 30, but the situation remains a continuing embarrassment for Obama and a potential political liability for congressional Democrats seeking re-election in November.
Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said Congress should act as soon as possible.
"It's urgent that we get this done to resolve some of the outstanding issues within the VA," he said.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., a chief author of the Senate measure, said it shouldn't be hard for the two chambers to craft a compromise version. "I don't think there's a lot of major differences," he said.
Sanders, who co-wrote the Senate bill with McCain, said that by Senate standards, lawmakers were moving at "lightning speed."
The House and Senate bills each would spend hundreds of millions of dollars to hire more doctors and nurses, but that may be easier said than done, given a nationwide shortage of primary care physicians.
Primary care physicians are expected to become increasingly in demand as millions of people newly insured under the federal health care law start looking for regular doctors. The Association of American Medical Colleges has projected that by 2020, there will be 45,000 too few primary care physicians, as well as a shortage of 46,000 surgeons and specialists.
Shortages tend to be worse in both rural and inner-city areas.
The American Medical Association added its voice as the House was voting Tuesday. At its annual policy meeting in Chicago, the AMA approved a resolution urging Obama to take immediate action to enable veterans to get timely access to care from outside the VA system. The nation's largest doctors group also recommended that state medical societies create and make available registries of outside physicians willing to treat vets.
The Senate bill would authorize the VA to lease 26 new health facilities in 17 states and Puerto Rico and spend $500 million to hire more doctors and nurses. The House bill does not include a specific dollar amount, but Miller said the VA would save $400 million annually by eliminating bonuses, money the agency could use for expanded care.
The House and Senate bills would let veterans facing long delays for appointments or living more than 40 miles from a VA facility choose to get care from non-agency providers for the next two years. Some veterans already get outside care, but the process is cumbersome and riddled with delays, veterans and their advocates say.
The Senate bill would make easier to fire top VA officials, although with more employee safeguards than in an earlier, House-passed bill.

LIVERPOOL MANAGER BRENDAN Rodgers has insisted he is on the same wavelength as the club's US-based owners despite problems during the recent transfer window.
Fenway Sports Group have been criticised after Liverpool failed to sign a striker following Andy Carroll's loan move to West Ham.
Rodgers admitted he would not have let the England forward leave had he not been confident he could bring in a replacement.
But a deal for Fulham's Clint Dempsey fell through because FSG would not pay what they considered an inflated price.
That led to suggestions the manager had been undermined by the owners but he insisted the situation had been made clear to him when he took over from the sacked Kenny Dalglish in June.
"I've had long conversations with the owners," he said. "I've got to say they have been very honest and very up front right from the off.
"I came here first and foremost because of the owners. I felt a genuine honesty in their approach to it and in how they wanted to go forward with the football club."
Rodgers, speaking at a forum with representatives of Liverpool fan sites and blogs, added: "Of course the window didn't quite go to plan but going forward a great deal of learning has taken place.
"Every manager always wants more players but the reality of where the club is at there needed to be a little bit of surgery done on the squad.
"Some of the wages here were absolutely astronomical in terms of value and worth. That needed to be looked at.
"I knew there would be a wee bit of pain in the short term but hopefully for the longer-term gain," the former Swansea manager said of a Liverpool side who've taken just one point from their first three matches.
"We finished up where we were at and now we have got to move forward as a football club and really have the one-club mentality."
Meanwhile, with so many players away on international duty for World Cup qualifiers, Rodgers is getting to know his youth squad members.
"I've tried to get around the youth team players, the reserve team players, and look at the level we have," he told liverpoolfc.com.
"First and foremost it's a chance for me to see the players working and see their improvements and try to help and guide them.
"They are trying to make steps up towards the first team and this gives them an opportunity to learn, and not just from the coaches.
"They come up here and train with Jamie Carragher, a guy who is in his 18th year as a professional.
"It is great for young players at 18 or 19 to see a guy who has been doing this work nearly as long as they've been alive and showing the same enthusiasm and commitment to want to learn and improve."

Awakening (2013)
Summer wildflowers and sunset alpenglow at Mt St Helens National Volcanic Monument.
On May 18th, 1980, Mt St Helens erupted violently and shot ash 80,000 feet into the air and flattened 230 square miles of forest. Today this area is undergoing a remarkable recovery. The wildflowers are now blooming every summer and small trees are starting to take root once again. All of the vegetation that is seen in this image is natural, since no replanting has occurred within the National Volcanic Monument. Experts believe that in 200-500 years, in the absence of another massive eruption, the area will return to the pre-1980 old growth forest. I doubt this view of the mountain will exist in a few hundred years, since an old growth forest would likely block the view of the mountain. When thinking about it in those terms, I guess this image is somewhat unique!

Absolutely Still (2016)
Mt Hood reflected on the surface of Trillium Lake at sunrise in the Cascade Range of Oregon. On many summer mornings, the surface the the lake is completely smooth just before sunrise. A few minutes after the sun rises, the air over the lake starts moving and the mirror like reflections are gone.
Last Light (2010)
An intense sunset along a small stream in the Wind River Range of Wyoming.
I created this image on day 5 of a 40 mile backpacking trip through the Wind River Range of Wyoming in August of 2010. To this day, this sunset stands as one of the most incredible sights I have ever seen. I was blown away by the light during this sunset and I had a hard time focusing on making an image! It's always a good feeling when everything comes together at sunset/sunrise.
Cascade Sunrise (2013)
A fiery winter sunrise above White River Canyon on Mount Hood, Oregon. This was one of the most spectacular sunrises I have ever seen. I had a feeling it was going to be a good one when the horizon started glowing ~45 minutes before the actual sunrise.
Cape Horn Sunrise (2011)
Outstanding sunrise light over the Columbia River from the Cape Horn Overlook. Columbia River Gorge, Washington.
Shimmer (2012)
"Shimmer" Sunrise light and lots of wildfire smoke at Sparks Lake, Oregon. South Sister is visible through the smoke on the left and Broken Top is barely visible just off of center.
I wasn't sure what to expect while I was driving up to the lake in the dark that morning. The air was clear in Bend when I left, but as I drove up into the mountains, I ran into heavy smoke from the Pole Creek fire burning near Sisters, OR. It looked like the sunrise was going to be very unspectacular, until the sun came up over the ridge and illuminated everything in a beautiful golden glow. The light, smoke, water and mist all came together here for a few moments and this is the end result.
Marms Lake Sunset (2010)
Thunderstorms passing over Marms Lake at Sunset in the Wind River Range of Wyoming. Amazingly even with all the storms around the lake went completely flat just for a few minutes as the sun was setting.

Don't assume that Jaleesa Williams' outsized personality means she's boisterous about her successes. She could fill pickup truck with all the awards she's won during her four-year career as VCU's most distinguished thrower. Yet, Williams says her Richmond apartment bears little evidence of her All-American career. Instead, she sends all her trophies home with her mother, Julia.
"She'll appreciate it more than me," Williams says. "It's something to be able to give your mother an MVP trophy for all the hard work and hard-headedness she had to withstand. All the long, cold indoor track meets in high school, being underappreciated, it's like, 'here you go.'"
This week, Williams is going to try to win one more for her mom, as well as her father, John.
On Thursday, Williams returns to the NCAA Championships at the University of Oregon in Eugene, where she hopes to secure one of eight coveted All-America statuettes in the discus. Last season, the Virginia Beach native placed 12th at the national meet to earn Second Team All-America honors, the first thrower, man or woman, in program history to receive that distinction.
This year, Williams is better than ever. On May 30 at the NCAA East Preliminary Round in Jacksonville, Florida, Williams uncorked a school-record heave of 57.97 meters (190' 2'') to place third and punch her return ticket to Eugene. There's plenty of reason to believe Williams is poised for more history. Her preliminary round mark would have won last year's national championship and is more than four meters longer than her mark from the 2013 meet (53.12m).

Pratt & Whitney Volunteers Participate in 'JA in a Day' at Norris Elementary School
Junior Achievement's "JA in a Day" is a fun and effective way for children in grades Kindergarten through 6 to experience valuable lessons about business and economics in an exciting one-day event.
On Nov. 15, JA in a Day was brought to the Anna E. Norris Elementary School in East Hartford, Conn., by Jill Albertelli, vice president of Procurement at Pratt & Whitney. Albertelli is also the event's executive sponsor and a Junior Achievement board member. Along with Albertelli were approximately 30 employees from Pratt & Whitney, Sikorsky and other UTC companies, all there to volunteer their time conducting lessons and leading age-appropriate activities in the various classrooms.
Like all Junior Achievement programs, these business volunteers help educate and inspire youth about the connection between education and success in the workplace. JA in a Day is unique, however, as the entire elementary school program is covered in the course of one school day, and students earn their Junior Achievement certificate by day's end.
On this particular Friday, students learned about various aspects of financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship. Kindergarten students learned about helping, working, earning and saving money in their "JA Ourselves" segment, while first graders learned the difference between "needs" and "wants" and participated in activities about jobs, tools and skills in the "JA Our Families" program. Second-, third-, fourth- and fifth-grade student themes were "JA Our Community," "JA Our City," "JA Our Region" and "JA Our Nation," each bringing the real world to students through hands-on curriculum.
Volunteers Sasha Vagodnaya and Roz Amirfazli were assigned a second-grade classroom and spent the day helping students explore the interdependent roles of workers in a community. Using a doughnut shop as example, students learned about workers and the work they perform, why workers are paid, what taxes are, and how and where to save money. The pair even staged a faux robbery of the Sweet "O" Donut shop to illustrate how the police work within the community.
In Linda Necci's third-grade class, volunteers Chad Munroe and Joshua Harris had an "Our City" landscape poster on display, which depicted the elements of a typical city block. Students busied themselves creating three-dimensional cardboard buildings, then placed them on the map according to zoning regulations. With a focus on multipurpose, residential, agricultural, business and industrial zones, students became aware of what a community consists of, the role of a city planner and the importance of civic planning and economic development.
Each of the programs that took place in the classrooms were presented in a series of five 35-minute activities, which included program kits and activity materials.
"I'm proud so many people from Pratt & Whitney came out to support Junior Achievement," said Albertelli after the event. "I'm a long-time supporter of JA, and it has been incredible over the years to see how one day can inspire a child to find the entrepreneur inside themselves."
