Hayward Pool Filters
Swimming Pool Filters
Hayward Swimming Pool Filters remove organic impurities such as dirt, leaves, grass, hair, and body oils from the water, keeping the pool sanitary, clear, and sparkling.
The importance of proper swimming pool filtration cannot be overstated. The reasons for filtration are obvious - clear water not only looks beautiful, but it is also necessary for health and safety reasons. Much of the material suspended in the water, derived from plant and animal sources provides food for bacteria and algae. It is these materials that must be removed if a pool or spa is to be maintained in a safe and sanitary condition.
Hayward is one of the leading manufacturers of swimming pool filters and other swimming pool equipment. Hayward makes many different kinds and sizes of pool filters and have one to fit any pool owner's needs.

This is one of my favorite tools in a classroom and for the home. A spinner is great for random choice making. Place choices on a circular board, and the student presses a switch (or the button in the lower corner) to make selections. But it's RANDOM!
While the selection can be responded to as if it is a choice it should be understood that the student is not actually expressing a preference but merely selecting or responding indiscriminately. It is best used to help a student to participate in the classroom environment with the goal of active participation and practice through accessing and developing an understanding of the purpose of a switch.
Examples of objectives:
- The student will develop the ability to access a switch within a specified time frame
- The student will learn to hit a switch when directed to do so
- The student will take a turn
- The student will learn to inhibit multiple impulsive switch hits
- The student will actively participate in a class activity
It is easy to customize the spinner overlays which are available by either using the pre-made reusable vinyl stickers that can be purchased separately or by designing your own. The sticker sets of numbers, shapes and colors and blank overlays make it possible for students to participate in classroom activities by calling on their classmates, selecting topics for creative writing classes, colors or mediums for art projects (blue glitter, yellow watercolors, etc), or numbers for math quizzes.
You can place Velcro or magnet tape around the outside of the spinner so pictures, words, letters or numbers can easily be exchanged. Consider making additional tag board circles for permanent selections that will occur more often.
An example of a "spinner" activity and template for creating an activity as an AAC participation strategy: The student must spin the spinner and receive or do whatever the arrow lands on. A variation of this might be when the spinner lands on an item, the teacher then asks a yes/no question. For example- Weather spinner lands on "Raining" Is it raining today? Yes/No.
Spinner Ideas
Directing others to perform steps of an activity or to follow directions, examples:
- Put the student's schedule on the spinner and let them spin to see what activity/task should be done next. Remove each one once it is complete.
- Building block tower ("Put a red block on." Put a rectangular block on.)
- Setting the table (Glasses. Silverware. Napkins.)
- Cooking a stew (Potato cubes. Carrot slices.)
- Treasure Hunt ("Find a pink paper." Find a purple crayon.")
- Numbers to have the student direct a math activity. ("S will tell us what number we should multiply by 5.") ("S will tell us what number we need to add to 1.")
- Have the student make the selections for a Bingo game (Can use 2 spinners, one with #'s the other with letters.)
- Have a student decide what group of students will get their lunches or coats. ("everyone who is wearing red can go …")
- How many spaces to move in a game
- Color choices - Have the student select the color of the crayon or marker to be used.
- Choosing who will _____ first, next
- Building collages – choosing what materials to glue on next
- Find animals from the animal box that start with the letter (letters around the spinner)
- Count out ____ objects (#'s around the spinner)
- Count out money that adds up to ____
- Classify objects by shapes (various shapes around the spinner)
- Select a buddy for reading, using the computer, eating next to…
- Choosing who will clean up what – children's photos and chores ("OK, JACOB, you clean up all the RED legos.")
- Select the person who will _____ for the day. Place the students' names or pictures on the outside. Remove the student's name or picture when chosen so that each student gets a chance.
- Select an object for a classmate to draw
- Select a sticker for a friend or themselves
- Select a picture to go on a card for a friend, teacher or parents
- Select a picture to use as a journal topic
- Large Group Direction:
- Choosing song verse to sing next
- Simon Says or similar games
- Scavenger hunt – look for items with certain qualities (initial sound, colors, made of wood, etc.)
- Provide the words for a spelling test
- Practice multiplication facts
- Be the giver of directions. Example, just saw this on E is for Explore! A little vocabulary activity...
In your classroom, brainstorm ways to use the spinner throughout the day… once you start figuring it out, it is endless….

Know the 3 technologies to alleviate blind spots in network performance monitoring
To alleviate blind spots in network performance monitoring, there are three basic technologies that come into play. SNMP, Flow-Based Analysis, and Packet Capture. These three monitoring methodologies have their strengths and weaknesses when used alone. When they are combined however, they can provide a complete end-to-end picture of the network environment and health, traffic patterns and flows, as well as in-depth application performance detail.
The best way to use these three is to make sure tools can integrate the data into correlated views, allowing the analyst to collect details from each data point for the complete picture. This ensures no blind spots, so when a problem strikes, it can be quickly identified and resolved.

Mother's Day
While we don't generally buy into commercial holidays Mother's Day is one that I'm really excited about. Being a mother brings so much joy into my life and knowing these feelings gives me a little more insight into how my mother and mother-in-law feel about Eddie and I. Wow. I can hardly wait to add more kiddos to our family so we can grow our love even bigger.
Eddie and Eva were very sweet to me on Mother's day. I didn't have to cook one thing all day! In the morning I was treated to delicious, fluffy blueberry pancakes. They were so good! Lunch yielded a grilled feast with chicken, corn on the cob (first of the season!) and baby potatoes. Dinner was so tasty pizza and salad. Afterward we went to get some frozen custard...wow, that's good stuff!! Next time the family comes to visit we are taking you guys there! As you can tell the way to my heart is through my stomach. It meant so much to me to have a break and to be served by my hubby. He's a wonderful guy and I don't think I give him enough credit.
Eddie and Eva 'baked' me a surprise too. When I opened the oven there was some wonderful new kitchen gear. Some of our stuff is in pretty questionable shape from years of use so I got new baking pans, chopping mats and spatulas. What a treat!
Besides the gourmet meals and presents we went to church and since Eva's in the 1's class now we were able to have an uninterrupted time of worship and learning. I also got to take a great afternoon nap which was really needed and appreciated. Thank you so much to my awesome husband and beautiful daughter for a wonderful day.
Happy belated Mother's Day to all my mommy friends and family out there too!!

Acai Berries have been shown to be extremely high in essential fatty acids, including Omega fatty acids. Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are also known as Polyunsaturated Fats and required for healthy skin, healthy hair, regulating the metabolic system and bones. But what does this actually mean, and what are the health benefits of Acai Berry products?
Acai Berries & cholesterol
The Fatty Acids and Phytosterols (plant sterols that are similar in structure to cholesterol) assist in the breakdown of LDL – bad cholesterol and promote HDL, good cholesterol. A clean, well functioning blood stream is essential to maintain the health of all your functions and keeping cholesterol low is fundamental in maintaining a healthy heart and fighting heart disease.
The Omega Fatty Acids found in Acai Berries are extraordinarily high. The body does not produce these, and they need to be consumed orally. Omega Fatty acids play a vital role in healthy growth and development of the brain. Taking Acai Berry supplements is a great way to give our bodies these nutrients and maintain low cholesterol levels.
Essential Fatty Acids
There are two distinct types of fatty acids: essential and non-essential.
Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are fatty acids that the body can't produce, so therefore crucial to complete a balanced diet. Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are necessary in the maintenance and creation of cell membranes within the body.
EFAs are utilised by many of the body's systems to maintain proper tissue function. EFAs are also required for energy production, effective functioning of the nervous system, brain development and function, skin health and elasticity, digestive efficiency, normal cardiovascular function, hormone production, and effective immune response.
Due to the popular misconception that fat is "bad" for the body many people have adopted a low or no fat diet. Low or no fat, coupled with the widespread consumption of processed and genetically modified foods, have created EFA deficiencies.
Leading researchers are finding significant links between EFA deficiencies and disease. Supplementation with EFAs, from Acai Berry supplements, is therefore an integral part of a complete nutritional program. To help achieve your peak performance it is crucial that you supplement with Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). Acai Berry supplements are a great source of these acids.
Acai Berry increases Energy & Stamina
Many top athletes are turning to the Acai Berry for sustenance in their training and in the competitive ring. Many of the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fighters and Football players are already consuming large meals of the Acai pulp before competing.
The Acai supplements & Acai Berry products help to boost their energy levels, and also speed up their healing rates. The high level of Antioxidants found in the Acai Berry work with the body to fight infections, and allows the body to function in a more efficient manner.
But it's not just top athletes that can benefit from the health benefits of Acai Berries. Us mere mortals can gain considerable benefits from Acai supplements and Acai berry products, including weight management, lower cholesterol and a healthier bowel.
Why not find out how an Acai Berry Detox can help with your wellbeing. And why not grab yourself a FREE Acai Berry trial!

School Readiness Means….that a child enters school (kindergarten) ready to engage in and benefit from early learning experiences that BEST promote the child's success.
We believe that to be truly kindergarten-ready, young children need instruction and guidance in two categories of skills, not just one: developmental readiness and academic readiness.
Developmental Readiness is made up of the skills that allow children to function in a school environment. Can children play attention, work well with others, exhibit self-regulation, and communicate their thoughts and feelings.? Critical for success in kindergarten and beyond, these skills enable children to focus on other learning tasks, and encompass: social emotional development, language development, and gross/fine motor skills.
Academic Readiness is made up of the skills that allow children to successfully learn foundational academic concepts and skills. Do children have an awareness of concepts of print, alphabet knowledge, and numbers? Have children been exposed to complex vocabulary words and rich content area topics? Equally critical for success, these skills serve as the academic foundation for all the learning yet to come, and encompass: emergent reading, mathematics, science, and other content areas.

Open Space Orbital Inc. aims to launch rockets from N.S.
Tyler Reyno, company's founder and CEO, says rockets could be big business in province
A company in Nova Scotia wants to make a business out of launching satellites into space.
Tyler Reyno, founder and CEO of Open Space Orbital Inc., said he thinks this has big economic potential for the province.
Reyno hopes to raise $100,000 by Sept. 5 through an online Kickstarter campaign to develop a small prototype engine and market analysis for his satellite business.
"We're going to be launching small satellites, below 50 kilograms, into low-Earth orbit. So these are satellites that are increasing in application — remote sensing, communications, Earth observation, the list really goes on. There are military applications as well. We would be the company delivering the satellites for other companies into space who can't do so themselves," he told CBC's Information Morning.
Reyno, who studied mechanical engineering at Dalhousie University, said Nova Scotia's oceanside position makes it a great place from which to launch rockets into space.
"It's a location that NASA and other companies have targeted before, so we're kind of picking up where people have left off in the past," he said.
Reyno said satellite customers currently pay in the low tens of millions to launch their gear into space, but Reyno said that, eventually, he believes he can offer the same service for about $1 million.
Emerging industry
Reyno said the industry's future is in the private sector.
"I strongly, strongly believe in the commercialization of space. I think it has unbelievable economic potential to, not only stimulate the Nova Scotian economy, but really make something of Canada — a country who hasn't launched anything into orbit in the past," he said.
"This is much more than just Nova Scotia, it very much has a national impact, and I very much see that and I think that if it's not us it will be someone else. So, we're very happy to pick up that role and do what we can to bring that industry to Nova Scotia."
Jim Drummond, a professor of physics at Dalhousie University, says satellites are a new field, waiting to be tapped into.
"Oh we love launching satellites. We've got all kinds of ideas," Drummond said.
"The prospects are there will be a lot of small satellites launched in the next decade or two, so if some part of that business could be captured by Canada that would be very beneficial."
Reyno says Canada has the expertise to launch satellites, but not the opportunities to keep experts in the country.
He recently made headlines for grabbing one of the top 705 spots offered by Mars One, a private company whose goal is to establish a private colony on the planet by 2025.

Dances with Crayons
Holding a miscellaneous container full of something, Owlet waits to catch my eye.
Then she dumps it on the floor.
Aaaaugh! I am weary of being bad cop, good cop, anything cop mom. Having to select a response (or non-response) to upended containers is among my least favorite of parenting activities. Give me the poopy diaper any day.
I read peaceful parenting articles and blogs and Facebook comment threads like it's my job, because, well, it is my job, and I've had a lot less training for it than for my "real" job. I've read lots of really excellent suggestions for dealing with the above situation. Sometimes I role-play them in my head while falling asleep, drowsily convincing myself it will work tomorrow.
I have tried all of the following strategies, arranged for your convenience in order according to how well I think they work, from makes-me-feel-like-an-ogre to makes-me-feel-like-a-fairy-princess:
– Yelling. (Not intentionally, but yes, I have tried it. Multiple times. Sorry, innocent Platypup, whose ear is usually too close to my big fat mouth. Sorry, my dear Owlet. I do earnestly apologize afterward, and usually bring it up again at bedtime in a calm, cozy way, but I know I just need to stop doing it, already.)
– Demanding that she clean up by herself. (Sure mom. Nice try.)
– Asking her to clean up with me, with blatantly forced cheer. (This one works just fine if it was an accident, but otherwise not so much.)
– Cleaning it up myself while explaining what we do and do not do with our crayons, breakfast cereal, etc. (Success in that the mess gets cleaned up, but still sort of hairy around the ears in an ogrish way.)
– Cleaning it up myself while maintaining as little expression or interaction as possible. (Same as the previous example, but maybe the ear hair isn't quite so long and luxurious.)
– Cleaning it up myself and attempting to make it look like the most fun thing in the world. (IF –big if — I'm able to pull this one off, it is fantastic. I am, sadly, not often able to muster up the appropriate mood. But it's worth it and I should keep trying.)
– Making a game around cleaning it up that is simply irresistible. (Same as previous with extra fairy dust.)
– Say something simple, like "Crayons are for drawing, not throwing" as gently as possible and then step away from whatever I was doing and pull her in for a hug. Do a quick check to make sure she doesn't need to eat or use the bathroom, and find out what she would like to do together. Casually mention that talking to Mommy about what you need is usually more effective than throwing things. Then, if it seems possible, work the picking-up into the game plan as Step One — "Great, first we'll just clean this mess quickly and then we'll do that thing you want to do" — or, if it seems like immediate bonding is required first, make picking-up Step Two — "Sure, we can do that now. After we finish we'll tackle this mess." (This one always works, complete with wand and sparkly wings. Unfortunately, it's not always possible due to baby brothers, time sensitive cooking moments, etc. But I think it is more possible than I'm willing to see in the moment. Gotta make this the standard response whenever feasible.)
I'd love to learn from you other Fairy Princess/Ogre types out there. Anything that does or doesn't work for you?

As consumers become savvier to online marketing, a new era of behavioural targeting is enabling us to significantly increase the effectiveness of ads. So how do you as a marketer, advertiser or publisher take advantage of these new developments?
Enhance behavioural targeting with socio-demographic predictions
Until now it has been enough to create online marketing campaigns based on a users' browsing behaviour, however, consumers are becoming more selective. They are demanding specifically targeted campaigns that are relevant to them.
Predictive behavioural targeting takes traditional behavioural targeting one step further by identifying hard to reach audiences. If you are aiming to win budgets which traditionally go to TV, such as high profile branding campaigns, predictive behavioural targeting is the answer.
Predictive behavioural targeting solutions enrich surfing behaviour data with consumer survey data. This enables the collection of socio-demographic data, such as gender and age, information on product interests plus lifestyle data and internet surfing behaviour.
These insights will then enable you to produce campaigns that can predict not only the type of product a particular consumer might be interested in, but also their perception of and relationship with that brand, ensuring campaigns are bespoke and delivered with maximum precision and minimum wastage.
Never underestimate privacy and data protection issues
Regardless of brand and campaign, user privacy must be your greatest concern. A consumer's peace of mind is your greatest asset – they enable the industry to exist, and for this reason alone it is essential that it's maintained.
With the debate around privacy regulations in Brussels showing no sign of abating, it is important to choose a predictive behavioural targeting firm that does not store any personalised data, such as name, address and IP address, at any time. Check the firm's credentials in the area and whether it has EuroPrise awards and the Privacy Seal by the Independent Centre for Privacy Protection (ICPP).
Ensure you have continuous consulting
A dedicated consultant at your chosen predictive behavioural targeting firm ensures direct access to competent support. Once you've identified your target group, whether it be car enthusiasts, communicators, tourists or financial information seekers, your consultant should use their expertise to plan, implement and optimise campaigns and work with your sales and product teams to develop pricing and positioning strategies for your products.
The technology, which combines online data and offline data in an algorithm to provide insights and predictions in real time, is invaluable when complemented by a close working relationship with your predictive behavioural targeting supplier.
Harness the power of branding online
In addition to product purchases and click-throughs, the 'mental click' consumers make when they encounter an effective advert online can be extremely valuable, despite often being ignored by traditional behavioural targeting.
To create campaigns that effectively make an emotional connection with a consumer, you must first determine the level of affinity a user has with a brand. By doing this, you will be able to develop customised campaigns that attract consumers depending on their existing affinity for a brand, rather than simply trying to raise click-through rates.
For example, you can target consumers with some loyalty to your brand for customer retention purposes; or little brand affinity if you are aiming to acquire new customers.
In conclusion, predictive behavioural targeting provides exciting opportunities as marketers, advertisers and publishers start to look beyond performance driven online marketing.

Coachella may have passed but if you're a music junkie, you'll be gearing up for the next festival, which means you'll need new festival-appropriate attire to get you from set to set. Since Sasquatch, Pemberton, Squamish and Osheaga are all coming up, I wanted to share a festival-inspired look with you.
Admittedly, it's so rare that I wear long dresses. Being 5'2, it's incredibly hard to carry the length without getting swallowed up in fabric. When I saw this dress at Citizen Grace, I knew I had to have it for festival season because I loved its carefree boho feel. If you're petite like me, you can always tie something around your waist to better define it (or throw it over your shoulders when it gets cold, and you'll be ready to rock out to the very end when you favourite band closes the night).
This whole look is actually a change for me because I would never normally wear a flower crown to a festival. I've always seen those cheap plastic ones girls get from H&M (and I strongly advise against them). If you saw photos from my wedding though, you'll know I wore this stunning flower crown by The Wild Bunch. I automatically thought to get in touch with Nassi, the freelance floral stylist behind The Wild Bunch, to design this fresh flower crown for my look. If you want something special for a festival, I highly recommend reaching out to her and she'll create whatever look you're after with beautiful, fresh flowers.
PS. I'm offering $10 off your purchase at Citizen Grace with the code STREETSCOUT until May 31st. Definitely check them out online for some summer and festival-inspired pieces!
*head to toe: MINKPINK / Citizen Grace dress, The Wild Bunch flower crown, Aritzia chambray shirt, Aldo boots, Topshop backpack.

Smarty Jones' Kids
Stan's Smarty Girl, unraced 2006 m. out of Terre Haute, had been exported to Great Britain. She has 1 winner from 3 starters there. She was imported for breeding purposes by Ascot Stud in South Africa last year. Just saw her listed as registered in the most recent publication of the National Horseracing Authority of South Africa, so I'm assuming she just had a foal or is being bred this year.

Linden Surfboards is probably the most well known shaper we carry on this site. When your getting a board from a guy that is in The Encyclopaedia Of Surfing , you know you don t have any worries, here is that article.
The Encyclopaedia of Surfing Page: 338
By: Matt Warshaw
Edited by: Harcourt Book, 2003-11-19
Linden, Gary Good-natured American surfboard shaper and competition judge from Oceanside, California; founder and owner of Linden Surfboards. Linden was born (1949) in El Centro, California, in the Imperial Valley, raised in the San Diego suburb of Clairemont, and began surfing at age 13. Four years, later he started shaping boards in the family garage, and soon founded his own label. Linden spent much of his time in the early and mid- 70s making boards in Brazil. In 1978 he opened Linden Surfboards, a factory/retail outlet in Oceanside, and over the years he made boards for dozens of world tour pros, including Todd Holland, Brad Gerlach, Margo Oberg, Taylor Knox and Cheyne Horan. Throughout the 80s, Linden, Al Merrick, and Rusty Preisendorfer were regarded as the Holy Trinity of mainland American surfboard shapers.
From 1981 to 1991, while still running his surfboard business, Linden also worked as a judge on the world pro tour, and was meet director for the California-based Stubbies Pro contests. From 1996 to 1998 he served as president of the Association of Surfing Professionals, the world tour organizing group. A dedicated big-wave rider himself, Linden eventually organized big-wave competitions in South Africa, Madeira and Brazil. His greatest success as a competition director came in 1998, as he supervised the Reef Big-Wave Team World Championships at Killers, on Mexico s Todos Santos Island.
Linden was hired in 2001 as logistics director for the Billabong Odyssey, a three-year search for a ridable 100-foot wave. He also served as the event director for the 2002 Margaritaville Longboard Trophy Series. On January 9, 2002, the curly-haired 52-year-old was towed in to a 30-footer at Todos Santos. Linden is married and has two children.
Linden Surfboards carries the whole range of surfboards, from retro designs to the most performing flying machine. Linden Surfboards is specialized in quality, top of the line boards. Through the decades, his own surfing experience, and inputs from a diverse range of team riders, Gary Linden has constantly been developing some surfing marvel to fit any style and type of waves.
If you want to fly high above a section like team rider Zach Rhinehart, you are looking for our Boulevard model. Wanna cruise in style at Malibu, we have a classic Longboard for you, renew with the twin fins experience, the Nu B fish is want you want. Looking to charge some heavy barrels, pick up from our full line of guns and semi-guns. More looking to go vertical at your local beach break, then pick-up our Pretty Much model. Just want to push our surfing potential to the max, our S model shortboard is the tool.

As the East Coast tracked the approach of Hurricane Sandy, Research on the Road beat a path westward to bring acclaimed Beatles scholar Kenneth Womack to Santa Monica where he gave a talk on Sunday to our enthusiastic Los Angeles area alumni chapter.
The venue couldn't have been more appropriate for Ken's talk on "50 Years of The Beatles." The Britannia is a popular restaurant/pub with Penn State alumni (and an eclectic mix of local hipsters and British ex-pats) in the L.A. area and has Beatles' memorabilia adorning the walls.
Penn State alumni turned out to hear Ken—professor of English and integrative arts at Penn State Altoona, as well as associate dean for academic affairs—discuss why and how the Fab Four rose from a ragamuffin band with instruments "literally taped together" to an iconic band that revolutionized popular music.
The attentive crowd enjoyed Ken's expert insights (as author of three books on the Beatles, not even the staunchest Beatles fans in the crowd could stump him with the most obscure questions), and all toes were tapping to the selection of Beatles tunes he played as examples of the group's innovative techniques.
The Beatles had a knack, explained Ken, for crafting 'middle-eights'—the eight-bar refrains that characterize their songwriting in the early 1960s. The middle-eight is where the song unfolds into a contrasting section before returning to the original musical and thematic material. Ken played some examples of middle-eight sections in Beatles songs, such as the lyrics "A love like ours/Could never die/As long as I/Have you near me" from And I Love Her and the lines "And when I touch you/I feel happy inside/It's such a feeling that my love I can't hide" from I Want to Hold Your Hand.
Noted Ken, the Beatles also employed techniques such as artificial double tracking of vocals and instrumentals, as well as sampling, sped up tape loops, and backward recording , to achieve a variety of effects in their songs.
Before and after the Research on the Road talk, alumni and friends dug into the "British-themed appetizers" while networking and socializing with new and old friends.
After the successful event, it was time to head back east…a long and winding road, made even longer by a hurricane named Sandy. Despite it being "a hard day's night" on the travel front, we were delighted with the warm welcome and enthusiastic participation in Research on the Road's time in Los Angeles!

8-0 at home again!
If the last month hasn't had that something special's brewing feeling for you, than how about going 8-0 at home for the first time since the Super Bowl year.
Yes, that's right, not only did the Seahawks run the table at home, but they also surpassed the 10 win mark for the first time since that fabled year as well.
Something special is brewing indeed in Seattle this year, and now the Seahawks travel east to take on the Redskins in the first round of the playoffs.
Robert Griffin the 3rd, vs. Russell Wilson, Rd. 1.
All three super rookies made the playoffs this year, but only one of them tied the rookie TD passing mark, our very own Russell Wilson.
But enough about that, let's get on with the game balls!
Offensive game ball
This is a split decision based solely on the milestones each player surpassed today.
Wilson, of course with the tying of Peyton Manning's rookie TD pass record, and Marshawn Lynch for becoming only the third Seahawks player to reach the 1500 yard plateau.
Lynch joins Shaun Alexander, and Chris Warren as the only Hawks to reach that special feat.
Wilson had the toughest circumstances on a football field in a month on Sunday, but like the poised veteran of 15 previous games that he is, chomped down and led this team to a victory.
Besides his lone TD pass to Michael Robinson, he also ran one in from a yard out.
Lynch finished the day with 100 yards on 18 carries, and let's us believe there is a chance to win this whole thing this year.
Receiving stats were as follows: Golden Tate 3/105, Doug Baldwin 2/19, Anthony McCoy 1/49 (longest pass on the day), Michael Robinson 3/33 (TD), Zach Miller 3/18, Marshawn Lynch 2/14, Robert Turbin 1/12.
Rushing stats were of course Lynch with the 100, (long 24), Wilson 10/58 (TD), and Robert Turbin 5/-5. A rough day for Turbin.
Defensive game ball
The case could be made for Richard Sherman to get this game ball for his interception and 3 assisted tackles, but I'm sticking with the milestone's on this one and giving it to Bobby Wagner.
Wagner finished the game with 5 tackles, and finished the year with 140, good enough for 7th in the NFL.
Not bad for a rookie out of Utah State who only had one scholarship offer his senior year of high school.
Just proves the PC/JS can really scout the talent when they see it.
Other defensive stats were: Kam Chancellor 3 solo, 4 assist tackles, KJ Wright 3 solo 6 assist, Marcus Trufant 2 solo, Chris Clemons 2 solo, Brandon Mebane 2 solo, Bruce Irvin 1 solo, Red Bryant 1 solo, 4 assist.
The Hawks couldn't get to anybody in the backfield on the day, but still were strong enough when it mattered, and didn't give up the desperation play at the end of the game.
It was nice to see that the D still could make a difference even when the game was not out of hand.
That's all she wrote for the regular season. But now the real season begins, and the Hawks have their sights on returning to the Super Bowl for the first time in 7 seasons.
See you in Washington next week RGIII

Question 3
It's the depth charges, Jon,
the underwater butterflies
that turn nuclear when fed
to the undercurrents.
This is a carousel in an
amphitheatre in an amphibian's
beating heart, and you're
the spawn we nurtured.
We've kept things whispered,
so far, don't you think?
Kept our voices at a level
lower than that of the dusk.
I am Auster's detective
searching for Kent who
has helped Kent team
up with a guy called Auster.
We are the spy and the
saboteur, and we are trying
to keep thing Guðless
from the Eyðileggingomb.
– Aaron Kent
Answer 3
Apologies for being out of town of late,
the town in question being [gestures to his mind].
I was in exile, struck off as a reprobate,
and only gained re-entry when the gates weren't manned.
I hoped, of course, to find the place a dire state,
the law books full of damned fool statues to amend,
the streets aghast with rubbish and inanimate,
but no such luck. Things hummed. My absence went unmourned.
I took another name and job. I manned the gate
and listened for your whispers. Being thus marooned
inside myself, however, all the inchoate
and half-said things unpick me – all the me I've mained
gets snarled up with the not-me, and I wait. I wait
for this, for that, a card, the dark, my pants, my end.
– Jon Stone

Over the next few weeks, I will be writing up some data from the second year of our BOYS EDUCATION trials at Hackham East Schools. I have made some changes to my previous 'Educating Boys' post to show some of our updated data and am reposting it here.
Boys sometimes get a raw deal in our education system. Research shows that boys and girls brains work and learn differently (Gurian, 2001) and that mainstream schooling better suits the learning style of girls.
If we think about our own schools, who are the most disruptive kids in the class? Do more boys or girls get sent to the office for behaviour problems? suspension? exclusion? Boys perform more poorly than girls in ALL curriculum areas with the exception of Maths and Science. Do we just accept that this is the case, or do we need to be critical about our teaching practices and consider that what we are doing just isn't working?
In schools, girls learn subjects and boys learn teachers (Lillico, www.boysforward.com). More often than not, girls will still succeed in school if they don't have an ideal relationship with their teacher. For boys, relationship is the key and it takes time and patience to establish this. Building a strong classroom team is a must and success will be unlikely if this doesn't happen. The relationship between the students and the relationship between student and teacher are equally as important. Taking the time to establish your team at the beginning of the school year is vitally important.

Virginia Tech holds vigil for missing UVA student
Around 800 students at Virginia Tech gather to hold a candlelight vigil for missing University of Virginia student Hannah Graham. Nathan Frandino reports.
With grief on their faces, Virginia Tech students are keeping Hannah Graham's memory alive. Although Graham attended University of Virginia, her connections to Virginia Tech, where student Morgan Harrington was murdered in 2009, run deep. (SOUNDBITE) (English) ERICA GRANT, PRESIDENT OF HELP SAVE THE NEXT GIRL, SAYING: "We're linked forensically to the Hannah Graham case with Morgan Harrington, but also, we have many people here at Virginia Tech who knew Hannah Graham." (SOUNDBITE) (English) LAURA DODSON, VIRGINIA TECH GRADUATE STUDENT, SAYING: "I did my undergraduate at UVA, so it's just part of the family." About 800 students attended Wednesday night's vigil. The goal was to raise awareness to prevent another student from disappearing. (SOUNDBITE) (English) ERICA GRANT, JUNIOR, HELP SAVE THE NEXT GIRL, SAYING: "It's important that we come here together today to fight against violence, to fight against cruelty, to young girls in our community being abducted." Police say the suspect in Graham's case has been forensically linked to Harrington.

So, here I am at The Rockstone, drinking the second bourbon of the day. The new cards aren't here yet, so I've begun by drinking the ones I enjoyed most in each session when I completed the first challenge. Over the course of this afternoon I'll be live blogging, and updating this blog with each new bourbon, so keep checking back, or wait until the end to see how several bourbons affect my writing skills…
First up was the JW Dant Special Reserve, which was my favourite of the third session. This time round though, I wasn't as impressed. The second bourbon however, Planton's Special Reserve, which I declared my favourite of the fourth session, is still enjoyable.
Third up is the champion of week one, Rebel Reserve. It has the most afterburn of what I've had so far, but it still tastes good. There's somewhat of a sweetness to it. This is being followed by the week two stand out, Cabin Still. It doesn't have as much of a burn (yet still does), and is slightly easier to drink.
The bourbon is flowing, and yet the new cards are still to arrive. I have a list though, and next up will be the best of week five, which although I didn't say it, was the John B. Stetson. As I said before, it's possibly too easy to drink, and rather delicious too.
Of this best of run, I'd say that the Planton's Special Reserve is my favourite of the lot, and therefore my favourite of the first set of 20 bourbons.
Next up, after a bit of help choosing (okay, a conversation consisting of "Makers Mark?" "Okay then") I am now drinking Makers Mark. There's somewhat of a burn immediately, rather than on the aftertaste. Saying that though, the aftertaste is somewhat nicer than most other bourbons I've had. The burn gives way to a rather nice aftertaste.
The cards have now arrived, and so I now know which 30 bourbons, and which 40 whiskys I'll be drinking this time around. Six down, 24 to go…
The first "post card" bourbon is Rebel Yell. (I'm working along a shelf that I can see). It's warming to just the right level, and there isn't really too much of an afterburn. A little bit of trivia for you fact fans out there, this was originally on the whiskey card, and was what I finished the four boards on.
I'm now moving onto two bourbons at a time, but with reason, I am now drinking two Wild Turkey Bourbons side by side, the 81 Proof, and the 101 Proof. Whilst I can't discern much difference in the taste between the two, the 101 does seem smoother, and also has more of a warming burn in the aftertaste. The 101 also seems somewhat sweeter than the 81.
Continuing with the comparison theme, I am now going for the two Four Roses bourbons on the card, Yellow Label and Small Batch. Both of these were on the card last time round, so some of you may be interested to see how my descriptions compare (myself, I can't be bothered. I'm starting to feel nicely inebriated).
The yellow label has quite a nice taste to it, though I can determine any defining characteristics. I like it. Though that may be because I'm starting to get somewhat drunk. The single batch has more of a burn, yet tastes just as good. Of the two though, I'd say I prefer the Yellow Label.
Moving back to single sessions, bourbon number 12 is Jack Daniels Single Barrel. Despite its popularity, I've only just started to "get" Jack Daniels recently. It isn't a bourbon in the standard sense, and so tastes somewhat different. Saying that though, it's still not my favourite drink. The single barrel has a rather vanilla-y oaky aroma. The taste though is filled with burn, followed by a sweet aftertaste, which is distinctly vanilla for a few brief moments.
Staying with the Jack Daniels theme, bourbon 13 is Gentleman Jack, a bourbon I found instantly more enjoyable than standard Jack Daniels. This time round I'm hit instantly with banana. I like it. I can't say I've been hit by banana in a bourbon before. There's still the burn, which I've come to accept from bourbons and whiskys, but banana is a nice surprise. I like it.
Number 14, almost half way through, and it's Wild Turkey American Honey. I'm now starting to make numerous spelling mistakes, but thankfully myself, and the iOS spell checker, are picking up on them. The bourbon smells sweet, very sweet. It tastes it too. I've had honey bourbons before and I have to say, I'm not a fan, mostly due to the aforementioned sweetness.
15! Half way there. The honourable bourbon is Buffalo Trace. It smells of bourbon (imagine in your mind what bourbon smells like, it smells like that.). It seems warmer that the other bourbons so far, almost like drinking warm ale. It's somewhat meh.
16, and still on the first session, is Bulleit Bourbon (feel for my poor liver). Like the Buffalo trace before it, it seems warm and meh. This is probably a sign it's time to stop and return tomorrow.
14 to go…
Hello again. Did you all sleep well?
For those reading this as I post, I am now back at The Rockstone, for round two of the Bourbons. Yes, it is 11:15.
I'm kicking off with a two glass comparison, between regular Jim Beam and Devils Cut. Regular Jim Beam was the first Bourbon I took a liking to. I tried Jack Daniels, but at the time I just didn't get it (I still don't to be fair). I then tried Jim Beam and found it much easier to drink. This time though, it tastes somewhat odd, and not enjoyable at all.
The Devils Cut appears to have a bit more flavour, hidden behind a nice calm burn (I realise that description may not make sense to you, but it does to me, and it really is the best way I can describe it). Neither bourbon is one I'd rush to drink again.
Next up is the last double header (and last comparison). This time round it's Old Fitzgerald and Old Fitzgerald 1849 that are going up side by side. The standard Old Fitzgerald seems to have a slight nutty taste that emerges after the burn of the alcohol starts to fade away. Both of them seem to have a rather distinct aroma, much unlike any of the other bourbons I've had so far this weekend. The 1849 had been deemed nice enough to gain a tick on my card, marking it out as one of the few that have really stood out for me, and that I'd buy again.
Next up, on the beginning of the final stretch, is Eagle Rare, which is being accompanied by a slice of Britain's biggest burger. My initial reaction was "It burns!". There's far too much alcohol burn on this one. I'm not at fan at all.
Going back to buying two at a time (mainly due to the bar being busy, and not wanting to wait), I now have Elijah Craig and Evan Williams in front of me. The Elijah Craig has a slight mouldy taste about it, which is somewhat offputting. The Evan Williams in comparison tastes rather vanilla-y, and is much more enjoyable.
Now up is Fighting Cock, which has slight cinnamon smell to it, which just gives way to the standard aroma of alcohol. Taste wise it burns, too much to be enjoyable. If I'm honest, I think my palate has become far too tired to really discern any sort of flavour, and I'm now just drinking these to complete the challenge, and be first.
With just six to go, I order a Kentucky Vintage and a Knob Creek. As I reach the table, I think I can remember which is which, but an element of doubt creeps in. I take a sip of what I think is the Kentucky, and proceed to pour coke into the glass to make it easier to drink. A discussion between myself and my friend sat opposite me, has made me realise that I am close to completing this in 24 hours. I won't, but I could do.
I take a sip of what I think is the Knob Creek (a bourbon which comes with an obligatory "heh, knob", each time it is referenced.). I prefer this one, whichever it actually is. I still mix it with coke.
Four to go. This time the order consists of Pikesville and Rittenhouse Rye. I like the Pikesville. Despite the fact that palate fatigue is setting in, it has some nice flavours that come through. I like it enough that I'm going to drink it without mixing it with coke.
The Rittenhouse Rye tastes nicer than I remember it being (I seem to recall my reaction to it last time was somewhat of a "meh"). That being said though, in order to complete the challenge today, I'm going to be mixing it, in the coke goes…
And finally, the end. I have no idea which is which in front of me, I know I have a Willet Pot Still Reserve, and a Woodford Reserve. The fact is, I don't really care. I'm number one. I completed the challenge, in little over 24 hours. In related news, I now don't want to drink another drop of alcohol for a good few days.
What do these taste like? Who knows, who cares, I'm nicely inebriated and I'm number one.
I'm number one.
I'm number one.
You knew live blogging when 30 bourbons was involved would turn out good didn't you.
I'll be more civilised about the others, with much more structured sessions. Until then, I'm done for the weekend.
