It was a roller-coaster of a time and getting on with it.
Hi all!
It has been a long time since I posted here. Too long? Maybe. The fact is, it has been a bit of a struggle to write as it was a bit of a struggle to ride. How is that for a double confession?
I could start writing a list of excuses for both statements but that would just become a record of justifications that no one really cares about. So I won't. Even I would tell myself to "Just get on with it!"
Week eighteen was set as recovery after the Battle. Physically, I didn't feel too bad after the three days of racing. Mentally, after getting dropped very early on both road stages, was another story.
I know I shouldn't have felt too bad about it, it was early in the season and I had not done enough intensity work to get me ready for racing. But not being able to hang on for a little longer and help the team was a little more than annoying. Of all the races, the criterium was the one where I managed to do a better job for the guys dragging the bunch for a couple of laps and closing a gap, putting a team mate in contention for a podium spot.
Battle on the Border results
Week Eighteen: Recovery
Time: 8 h 30 min
Dist.: 162 km
After that, it all became too hard. First, I started having some considerable issues with my neck and back. I was having terrific pains after a day's work or a bit of intensity on the bike. Pains which would start on the right side of my lower back and find its way through my neck and end in a kind of headache that left my right eye throbbing...
Scary stuff, which lead to all sort of deliberations with regards to my body, my age, my work and cycling. Should I be doing all this training? Has my body and mind recovered from the accident last year? Will them? Or just live with it and increase the pain threshold level...
I was also looking around and could see people doing great things on their bikes. Like commuting to save the world, which I don't do anymore, or riding 1,000 km for a good cause (like my friend Mick Young). Are these perhaps the things I should be doing on my bike? I wasn't sure.
It wasn't all lost and the week was saved as Sandra, patiently, convinced me to use her power meter for some tests.
The first test was the Functional Threshold Power (FTP0)...
The Power Profile was the second test...
The results? What did all mean? Not sure but Sandra told me it wasn't so bad as I needed to learn to control my efforts. We will see results when I test again in a few weeks and it meant I won't get a pro contract in this life time...
Week Nineteen: Test
Time: 5 h
Dist.: 156 km
Things, or kilometers didn't pick up after that and with a few things happening at my workplace, some good and some bad (not going there but some of it was in the media), time on the bike wasn't really happening.
There was a club race somewhere in there. Just a windy club crit where I burned all my candles breaking away with three others before the half-time sprint and missed by a couple of centimeters... I didn't win but I really enjoyed those few laps with the young guys.
Admittedly, there was a lot of Giro viewing and with that, a lot of dreaming of riding those climbs and through those small villages in Italy...
Well Done! to all the Australian riders, especially C Evans and M Lloyd for their terrific wins.
Week Twenty: C Race
Time: 5 h
Dist.: 145 km
Week 21 appeared to be a good one with a couple of open events on the weekend - The Motorama Metros.
Again, I raced well in the criterium as I put my hand up to initiate breaks from the start and cover attacks from the other teams. That put me in the first short lived break of the fast, rain affected 30 min race and pulling a big turn to chase an escapee with just a lap to go.
We ended up with a second and a third, beating all the local teams for my gladness. The winner was a team less, older rider. I was anyhow delighted by his victory.
In the road race, I did my big effort by chasing a four-riders group in the start of the second lap of the 92 km race (four laps) and that was my race coming to an end. The undulating Mt Alford course has been my nemesis for years so once again, I pulled out after the second lap to watch the finish. Rightly so, as a team mate crossed the line first.
Still not in my best, it was undoubtly a great weekend for the Team. And Mt Alford, I will be back!
Week Twenty One: B Race
Time: 6 h 15 min
Dist.: 162 km
Motivated by what the team had achieved, more suitable working hours lately (it doesn't last very long) and a bit of a "get on with the pain" attitude, the training hours and intensity of the sessions increased a fair bit in the last two weeks. And some of the rides have been just fantastic!!!
I finally managed to start the build phase of the program I've put together and have done a couple of big weeks (my standards) on the bike, doing lots of medium and high intensity rides. I have gone back to some of my old training routes (Clear Mountain and Bunya Road) and have done a couple of great team rides going through new areas, which has been very enjoyable.
Week Twenty Two: Build
Time: 17h 10 min
Dist.: 477.5 km
Week Twenty Three: Build
Time: 19h 10 min
Dist.: 522 km
Right now, I am just hoping that my back and neck can hold on for the rest of the season and, who knows, I can get hold of an old commuter bike somewhere... And by the way, roller-coasters are still fun!!
Cheers, AMR

For what it's worth - and coming from someone that has never liked or done stretching: In my old age, my back can be super painful, including when cycling. I have recently started doing Yoga - and it really helps (my younger self would be mocking me .....) ;)

Hi Will, glad to hear.
BKS Iyengar was an influencial person through a few phases in my life. His Yoga style is my favourite.
Last year, I used a DVD twice a week. I believe it did wonders to my cycling. Must start doing it again... urgently!!

Ruperts Fund .Pet Owners join the fight to give cavaliers a future.
There is a new scheme for cavaliers that has been organised and funded by pet owners who are members of a cavalier internet forum.
They decided to help the research into the painful inherited condition called syringomyelia ( SM ) by joining together to create a rolling fund to pay for MRI scans for older cavaliers.
Ruperts Fund, named after a lovely old blenheim dog who suffered from this painful condition for many years, aims to help a genome research project find the genes that cause SM, and to provide information for an Estimated Breeding Values ( EBVs ) programme that will help cavalier breeders choose breeding pairs of dogs that are less likely to produce affected puppies.
The forum members are raising money by compiling a dog recipe book, with donations for memorial pages, by auctioning items on eBay and by selling specially produced toys and cushions. One energetic owner of a SM dog is seeking sponsors while she trains for a Superhero 5km run in Londons Regents Park
Because SM is a progressive condition, finding older cavaliers with no symptoms of syringomyelia is especially important, but any cavalier older than six may prove to be of value to this all important health research.
Ruperts Fund raised £1500 in just over a month, enough money to pay for eight older cavaliers to be tested, and two eleven year old litter sisters have already been scanned, providing invaluable information to both research projects.
The owner of these two little cavaliers was delighted to have the chance to contribute to the research, and to know more about the health of her elderly dogs.
The researchers would be delighted to hear from anyone with a Kennel Club registered cavalier, over six years of age, that may be suitable for a Ruperts Fund scan.
If any cavalier owner think they would like to help, please contact Penny Knowler at firstname.lastname@example.com"

China Mobile executives have said that ... the I phone would likely come only half the company introduces its four G platform which is a move that further down the road ... most people who use China Mobile are still want to see new ideas in the early stages of going to three G on and there's actually a ton of I phone users ... when China Mobile the Biggio broken the phone yes millions of the guys who seem that with T Mobile the last two ... on ... eBay's to deal with Apple now I've been told that ... people would bring their phones to Timo I Phones of ... the T Mobile and get them to work with them for a home ... now it will look let's talk about a little bit about the actual size the opportunity for Apple now you mention seven hundred million subscribers get ... up only a fraction of those however are the high value subscribers that will stay put If ordered ... a six hundred fifty on the wholesale price of an I phone six or fifty dollars yet that that how many of those I should say how many of those rock we are actually the market for high-end I thought ... you know actually I don't know the number and I don't wanna make one out but I don't a fraction of the seven hundred ... um ... you know the other issue I see anywhere from sixty two hundred and twenty yes I've that I've heard that event that seems like it's in the range but ... it raises a bigger point about Apple which is that ... you know it's ... kind of intense battle with they enjoyed ecosystem for market share and that's been going back and forth enjoyed has been recently some taking over from Apple to the global market share ... and one the main reasons is that ...

Give me a couple of days to fish them out, and I'll be glad to share pics of 2 original 4053's, 1-68, 1-69, plus the balance of parts from an early Holley 4053 reproduction I parted out (bought the carb in the 80's when they first started repopping them, sold the center section, 4 digit date, and kept the bowls, throttle plate, metering blocks, and all small parts intact to rebuild my 4346 for the 375 horse). I really wish the Holley Custom Shop was still in Springfield, TN - they used to take your Holley in, completely rebuild it, replace any and all worn parts with new (proper part #'s !), restore and replate ones they didn't have, and bench it and send it back to you for about $400.00. I don't know if they still offer that service, but it was great while it lasted here. They closed that location down, moved it back to Bowling Green years back. Regards,Steve
Gary,The later service replacement 4053s have a thicker baseplate, to reduce tendency to crack, and some of the bowl screws have different heads to the assembly line versions (can't recall the details off the top of my head, will have to get back to you).You're also correct in that the choke pull-off neck should be curved on an original 4053.There are pictures of these details here: http://www.camaros.org/carb.shtml#holl
What are the numbers on the metering blocks on the repro? Mind don't have the 5583 and 4519 blocks. I found those numbers are just for the production run carbs and the SR's had different numbers I have them written down somewhere I'll have to look.
Gary,5583 and 4519 on all of them. Including the service carb. 4346 - 375 horse carb takes the same ones - that's why I parted it out. Regards, Steve

Regions Bank (NYSE:RF) today announced the creation of a $1 billion loan pool to provide economic development capital and spur business growth in the state of Alabama. Alabama Governor Robert Bentley and Regions Financial President and Chief Executive Officer Grayson Hall introduced the Regions Economic Development Loan Pool today at a news conference held at the Integrated Medical Systems International, Inc. (IMS) facility under renovation in Birmingham's Sloss Business District. Birmingham Mayor William Bell and IMS Founder and Chief Executive Officer Gene Robinson also participated in the announcement. "Economic development is truly a partnership. It's a partnership between state and local developers who work every day recruiting companies," said Governor Robert Bentley. "I'm excited that Regions Financial is a partner in economic development. This loan pool will help us build on our job creation efforts. And most importantly, it will help put more people back to work." The $1 billion Regions Economic Development Loan Pool is earmarked for assisting companies that are growing or expanding in Alabama in 2013. Regions Bank will partner with the Alabama Commerce Department to identify projects that could be candidates for financing and will also work directly with the businesses community to identify eligible projects. "As Alabama's largest bank, we are committed to helping other local companies thrive and succeed," said Grayson Hall, President and Chief Executive Officer, Regions Financial Corporation. "We are fortunate to have robust state and local incentives geared toward economic development, and this loan pool will serve as an additional resource in growing our state's economy and creating jobs. Access to capital is critical for business development, and Regions is committed to making that capital available." Integrated Medical Systems International, Inc. (IMS) is a surgical device management and clinical consulting company headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama and is one example of a home-grown company fueling economic growth and job creation in the state. Since its founding in 1990, IMS has grown from a small business start-up to a surgical device management and clinical consulting company employing more than 1,100 people across the U.S. and serving more than 2,500 healthcare facilities nationwide.
Regions Bank recently provided a $7 million loan to renovate a 55,000-square-foot building adjacent to the company's current property. IMS has a strategy to double its 2012 revenues of $117 million by 2017. The new operations facility will provide part of the infrastructure necessary to generate this growth. In addition, the City of Birmingham has committed economic development incentives to create the newly designated Sloss Business District, a designation that will improve the walkability and visual appeal of the area surrounding IMS and neighboring businesses. By establishing the Regions Economic Development Loan Pool, Regions Bank intends to identify other companies like IMS seeking to grow or expand in Alabama and provide both the expertise and financing to support that growth.As Alabama's only Fortune 500 company and the largest private employer in its headquarters city of Birmingham, Regions has a strong history of providing capital to support business growth. During 2012, Regions provided more than $56 billion in new and renewed loans to businesses and consumers throughout the 16 states the bank serves. Companies interested in learning more about the Regions Economic Development Loan Pool or applying for financing are encouraged to contact a Regions banker or visit a local branch for a referral. About Regions Financial Corporation Regions Financial Corporation (NYSE:RF), with $121 billion in assets, is a member of the S&P 500 Index and is one of the nation's largest full-service providers of consumer and commercial banking, wealth management, mortgage, and insurance products and services. Regions serves customers in 16 states across the South, Midwest and Texas, and through its subsidiary, Regions Bank, operates approximately 1,700 banking offices and 2,000 ATMs. Additional information about Regions and its full line of products and services can be found at www.regions.com.

War may have broken out in the Middle East, as Israel's patience has perhaps been stretched to the breaking point. Hamas and Hezbollah are begging for war, and they may get their wish. If it happens, no one will be betting on them.
A note of good news: Hamas leader Mohammed Deif, who has been on the most-wanted list for years, was hit in an Israeli air strike, is undergoing surgery, and is reportedly likely to be paralyzed.
The Israelis have also bombed the Palestinians' "foreign ministry" building, which housed leading terrorists.

- The Raf/MEK/ERK pathway is an attractive target in NSCLC
- 20% Ras mutations which are upstream of Raf
- EGFR is upstream of Raf, and inhibitors have shown activity in NSCLC
- Angiogenesis is an attractive target in NSCLC
- Bevacisumab has efficacy in NSCLC
- Sorafenib is a multikinase inhibitor that inhibits Raf kinase and several receptor tyrosine kinases involved with angiogenesis
- This is a Phase II trial of single agent sorafenib in relapsed/refractory NSCLC to evaluated efficacy and safety
- Phase II: Uncontrolled, study of 52 patients:
- Sorafenib (400 mg po twice daily, continuous). 1 cycle = 28 days
- Primary endpoint: Responses by RECIST criteria (every 8 wks)

- Histology: 54% adenocarcinoma, 31% squamous cell
- Prior treatment: 2/3 had 1 prior regimen, rest had more
- Prior gefitinib was allowed
- Response Rate:
- Stable disease: 30/51 (59%), Progressive disease: 35%, rest were unevaluable
- Some near partial responses:
- Tumor shrinkage was observed in 15 (29%) patients

- 3 patients had epistaxis
- Quality of Life: FACT-L scores unchanged from cycle 2 to 4
- Biomarker study:
- Patients with high baseline serum VEGF levels had shorter survival
- Patients whose VEGF levels decreased substantially (>78 pg/mL) had shorter survival
- There was no significant correlation with sVEGFR-2 levels with any endpoint
- Sorafenib 400 mg bid is generally well tolerated and shows promising efficacy in patients with advanced, progressive NSCLC, with approximately 60% of pts achieving disease stabilization
- Response rate with sorafenib was as least as good as gefitinib and erlotinib
- Sorafenib has comparable activity as a single-agent as other anti-angiogenic therapies and single-agent chemotherapy in NSCLC with similar progression-free survivals:

Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
1970-2011 • 41-½ years
Of all of this year's retiring professors, Richard McGinnis has the longest tenure with a record of 41-1/2 years. His relationship with Bucknell began even earlier than that, in 1965 when he first came to campus as an undergraduate, a firsthand witness to the turbulent times of the Vietnam generation. After receiving his master's degree from Northwestern University and working shortly for General Electric, McGinnis returned to his alma mater as an instructor in 1970. In 1972 he took an education leave to begin his doctoral degree at the University of California at Berkeley, returning to Bucknell as an assistant professor in 1975. He says, "Bucknell has been a great place to spend a career with supporting colleagues, talented and engaged students. In recent years, the globalization of education has increased the excitement of being a Bucknell faculty member."
Although McGinnis' main area of expertise lies in the fields of transportation planning, safety and engineering, he spearheaded the University's first CAD (computer-aided design) efforts and directed the Bucknell Center for Computer-Aided Engineering and Design from 1982 to 1986. In 1991, McGinnis, with his then-17-year-old son, also named Richard, authored a text called Learning Cadkey, which was published by McGraw Hill, Inc.
He has authored numerous papers and presented worldwide on a range of transportation issues, including the efficacy of traffic barriers, analyses of fatal auto accidents, conspicuity of railway cars, and high-speed rail systems, to name a few.
On campus, McGinnis has been involved with strategy and planning to alleviate the parking crunch. In downtown Lewisburg, McGinnis and his students were responsible for assessing, planning and installing a pedestrian road crossing that has been in place since 2002. The founder of the Lewisburg Traffic Committee, McGinnis has long been devoted to making driving, walking and biking safer for the local community, in addition to helping both auto and pedestrian traffic flow more smoothly. He says, "Lewisburg is a great a laboratory where students can learn about many aspects of transportation and engineering, and at the same time make improvements to the community through their service-learning activities."
When McGinnis received Bucknell's Presidential Award for Teaching Excellence in 2003, students commented on their work with him, saying, "Smashing into roadside barriers becomes an engineering thrill not to be missed."
In 2011, McGinnis was honored with the Burma-Bucknell Bowl Award for supporting and promoting international study opportunities for all students - especially for engineers. Through his hard work, encouragement and leadership, study abroad has become an integral part of the College of Engineering. He co-directed the Bucknell in London program three times and helped to launch the student-run group GLOBE (Global Learning Opportunities for Bucknell Engineers). He also was instrumental in helping to organize the Bucknell Bangkok Alumni Club in Thailand.

Think of MindMeld as a friendly wiretap.
The 99-cent voice- and video-calling app lets users make free calls using VoIP over Wi-Fi or their cellular-data network. Nothing groundbreaking there. But the software is trained to recognize speech, and it will try to pull up data relevant to the conversation at hand. "It's constantly listening, constantly searching," says a spokesman. The iPad version will be available by February; the iPhone version, a few weeks after that.
Making dinner plans? MindMeld might show you restaurants nearby, or pull up a reservation page if you mention a specific place. Drag details you like into a box sharable with the other call participants.
There's some room for misinterpretation. Speech recognition isn't perfect, but MindMeld has a broad vocabulary of pop culture, current events and general knowledge topics, the spokesman says. Users can delete data that pops up that isn't right, or that hinges on topics they'd rather keep private. But MindMeld doesn't stop listening, so it may not be the right tool to use during a sensitive conversation about, say, Mom's health problems. (The spokesman says data about conversation topics isn't shared.)

Key elements include delivering on the vision of the social customer master, and introducing master data timeline for effective date versioning.
"Informatica MDM 9.5 aligns industry-leading master data management technology with all four megatrends that are redefining the industry and propelling growth: big data, social computing, cloud computing and mobile computing," said Dennis Moore, senior vice president and general manager, MDM, Informatica. "With Informatica MDM 9.5, the door is open for organizations to engage in effective social ecommerce, take MDM to the cloud, enable the mobile workforce and scale MDM for today's big data realities."
MDM for the Cloud
The proliferation of cloud applications is dis-aggregating data in the cloud and in danger of driving significant data issues across enterprises due to this accelerating fragmentation. Master Data Management is the critical technology required by all enterprises to ensure point of data entry de-duplication and cleansing; data consolidation across cloud and internal applications; and supporting trusted 360 degree views of customer relationships and business processes.

Informatica MDM powers a complete and trusted view of customer interactions and master data relationships across all application instances and systems, cloud or on-premise. Consequently, organizations gain a cost-effective and low risk way to:
"As customers modernize their IT portfolio with software that enables cloud, social media, mobile, and big data, they are requiring that MDM adopt these mega trends as well to propel their competitive advantage for faster time-to-value, social customer understanding and ubiquitous mobility," said Steve Jones, Global Head of MDM, Capgemini. "Informatica and Capgemini are vanguards in bringing cutting-edge technologies to our mutual customers. The combination of Informatica MDM 9.5 cloud social media, mobile, and big data capabilities and Capgemini's implementation excellence in these areas will ensure customer success."

Big Data: High Velocity Master Data Resolution
The big data volumes and complexities unleashed by social, cloud and mobile computing place enormous pressures on MDM implementations. Virtual/online entity resolution across email, Twitter and social networks is now added to traditional entity resolution across internal systems. IP addresses, timings, access modes and word usage are now part of the entity resolution equation; while today's high volume/high velocity data has a multiplying effect on everything to do with MDM.
Informatica MDM 9.5 comprehensively supports master data resolution for big data, enabling organizations to leverage high performance, low cost computing infrastructures to:

HOWEVER, by the end of the year he had dark rings under his eyes, and one year was enough for him in korea, period. knowing he wouldn't be back, he gave it all he had. and the kids LOVED him! (he had other bad habits, too. it wasn't just kindy that did him in temporarily). Back to top Son Deureo!Joined: 30 Apr 2003 Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2003 7:18 am Post subject: My biggest problem with teaching kindergarten was the long hours it led to. Kindergarten usually starts at 10:00 in the morning, elementary school and middle school classes generally start at around 3:00 p.m. and end at around 9:00. A truly inconsiderate boss may have you teaching the first kindergarten class in the morning as well as the last class ending at 9 p.m. Even with breaks in between classes, this adds up to a looooong day. I put up with this for longer than I'm proud of. A more reasonable, and probably more typical, hogwon schedule that includes kindy would be 2 or 3 hours of kindy classes starting at around 10, and 3 or 4 hours of elementary school and older kids ending at around 7:30. On the other hand, a hogwon schedule without kindy classes will rarely start before 3 p.m., and usually end by 9 at the latest. It's all going to be about the same number of classroom hours, but one is obviously much more pleasant than the other. The best schedules tend to be late afternoon to early evening, kindy-free schedules. At any rate, when you get your contract, make sure it has a guaranteed "no earlier than" beginning time and "no later than" finishing time that you can live with, kindy or not. As for actually teaching kindy, it takes a lot of energy to keep the kids entertained, under control, and learning. The constant repetition of songs, chants, and drills to help the kids learn drove me crazy some days. Plus, regardless of what anyone might say about the ability of young children to pick up a language quickly I can't say that I ever saw this in any of my kindy students. Even the brightest and most dedicated kindies seemed to be showing progress less quickly than elementary school students who were spending less time in the classroom. I just didn't find it very rewarding. I do miss the sincere enthusiasm and love from the kindies at my previous school. Some of those classes really were a lot of fun. But in the end it felt more like babysitting than teaching. I'll be the first to admit that I probably wasn't the best kindergarten teacher. Maybe if I was better at it, I would have found it more rewarding. Some posters here seem to have a real knack for it. I did the best I could, but I hope I never have to teach kindergarten again.

They were the sweetest, most affectionate beings I've ever come across. They cuddled me, laughed at my jokes ( ) and thought it was a FANTASTIC idea to colour and learn the numbers. They had enthusiasm and no pretences. Of course, there were some nutters, who would rail around the classroom howling and laughing and doing the Zolaman dance, but it wasn't really a problem. The flipside - those little buggers exhaust you! They're loud, needy, weepy, sensitive. They have the attention span of a gnat. They need constant instruction. And yes, it usually means you have to be at the school early - something that isn't always met with sunshine and an ear to ear smile. So - take your pick. They're certainly a lot cuter than the afternoon kids. Wombat Back to top William BeckersonGuest Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2003 9:20 pm Post subject: Pros:The best thing about Kindy is how the kids do rely on you a fair bit. That means they will also be more sensitive to when they're starting to make you angry. Especialy if you're with them every day of the week. Also, the work load for you is almost non-existant. Unless your boss is a total moron, they will allow large amounts of goofing with the kids to happen. They're all pretty much still babies after all. Elementary kids have all of the stupidity the kinders have without the ability to know when to knock it off. Cons: Early starts. Possible long hours. Unless they hired someone to do that specifically for you, you'll have to sing stupid songs. Kindy kids seem to be an endless source of mucus.

I woudn't / couldn't do it all day long but a couple of classes a week is nice. This depends alot on the type of program your hogwan wants you to deliver and the time of day it is delievered.....and also class size. Give me a handful of four year olds for 40 minutes a couple times a week without dragging me out of bed too early and I'll have fun with them. I think a balance is important though. Ideally, I'd like to teach a class or two at a variety of levels. It keeps things interesting. Back to top waterbabyJoined: 01 Feb 2003Location: Baking Gord a Cheescake pie Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2003 1:54 am Post subject: I find that Kindy teaching is more exhaustive than teaching a nice 2~8pm schedule. I'm flagging a bit at the moment but it's only 5 weeks to go until they're on a break. That's the great thing about it - I get about a month of free mornings in summer and winter (combined) - easy afternoon schedule of only 3 hours between 2 and 6pm. I only teach Kindy 4 mornings a week too. Five would be too gruelling and I need time to prepare. I prefer smaller class sizes when it comes to Kindy (now I have 35 kids per Kindy class ) and the best thing about teaching Kindy is that you can really see their progress - that's quite rewarding. Back to top HamuHamuJoined: 01 May 2003Location: Seoul Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2003 2:09 am Post subject: One of the hardest things (for me) is remembering that they are really just BABIES. My 5 year old Koreans are 3 years old. Even the oldest -- 7 year olds -- are really only 5 or 6 Western age. Yet they are expected to sit down and study and read and write for 4 or 5 hours a day. Like you would EVER ask western kids to do that at such a young age! But yet, I find myself getting frustrated some days telling them that they are to sit down and listen to me, and then do their work.....but then I remember that they are young'uns, and have a 3 minute attention span, and life for them should just be about playtime and nap time. I also find myself comparing them to children the same age at home. Like, my 7 year old class that can barely read, and I am frustrated with them. But, my 6 year old cousins back home, who are extremely smart and doing very well, can only read short 3 and 4 letter words, the same as these Korean kids. So some of it is just remembering to keep it inperspective, and not try to swing too far one way. The benefit of Kindie (for me) is seeing the same kids every day, and so you can improvise a bit more - didn't finish the lesson one day, well, there is always tomorrow. But, with elementary, they are usually on a book where Day 1 has to be Lesson 1, etc. Does anyone remember that old "Everything I needed to know, I learned in Kindergarten" poster? And it had things like "Milk and cookies make the day happier.....stop and pet the soft bunny....nap time is for everyone..." etc etc? It definitely wasn't written about Korean kindergarten.....

They are incredibly sweet, BUT unfortunately my boss is a moron, who insists that the kids 'have to' study two pages a day, be able to say pre-determined sentences by the end of the week (usually sentences they will never use in 'real-life') etc. They would learn so much more if I could speak to them a bit more freely, use my own resources, play games with them etc. My boss is always coming into the classroom or looking through the window checking on the lesson. I wouldn't mind, but I have taught Kindergarden classes before in the UK, The Czech Republic and Italy. The boss doesn't have any teaching qualifications. Korea is certainly different!

What I love about kindy They are always so pleased to see me. They can be cute. They lap up language better then any other age group (however they forget just as fast). If they throw a temper tantrum (which korean kids will do when they are teenagers) you can just grab them under the arms and take them away from the situation and get them to calm down. What I hate about kindy You think adult koreans have no concept of personal space, just watch their kids. I have yet to be ddong-chimed (where the kids make their hands like a gun and ram it up your anus) but the do like to hit me on the arse if I present them with a target, thus important lesson never turn your back on a kindy kid. They make frequent grabs at my chest area and I don't wear skirts as the kids think they are tents. Also your clothes get a lot of stains from the kids. When they are tired/have a cold etc. and their mother inists on sending them to the hogwon it's hell. The kids want to be at home asleep so they will punish you for their parents mistake in the form of crying/sleeping/giving you their colds. Big class sizes! Anything over twenty and your life will be hell. Kindy is best enjoyed with about 10 kids. I'm not allowed to teach sing song, but have to do paperfolding instead. I'm a music geek who can barely write my name legibly. We sing anyway.

I received a lovely package from my friend Sheri Seibold last week. She sent me some Halloween fabric that she designed and I have started putting it to good use. I have been cutting, sewing, turning right side in, and sewing some more and this is what I came up with. I have wanted to make a Halloween bunting for awhile with her whimsical fabric and I was so excited to get some from her collection from last year as well as her new fabric from this years collection. I know some college kids that need some decorations for the season.
Here is my helper for the day Crusty. She is protecting the fabric from the squirrels outside by giving them the stink eye. Oh and I better not forget she is adding some of her fur to the project. I will post a photo of the finished banner as soon as I get them sent off to the girls.

January 25, 2006
LOS ANGELES – UCLA Anderson's innovative Riordan Programs are celebrating 20 years of energizing and educating students from L.A.'s inner city high schools. The highly successful programs have served more than 1,600 participants - of whom many have gone on to pursue MBAs and successful careers in business.
The programs were created when UCLA Anderson professor William Ouchi approached businessman and future L.A. mayor Richard Riordan about making a gift to UCLA. Riordan agreed, but insisted that the funds be used to help underserved young people from inner city high schools. "We went back and forth," remembers Ouchi, "and developed this very creative set of programs."
Riordan Scholars Program
The Riordan Scholars Program is designed for 10th, 11th, and 12th graders who are interested in learning about business and developing leadership skills. Scholars are mentored by UCLA Anderson MBA students and attend monthly classes taught by UCLA Anderson faculty and staff. Richard Riordan was eager for MBA students to participate in order to prepare them for service as community leaders.
Class sessions feature panels of young professionals who provide insight on a variety of careers. In addition to inspiring students, the program helps firms develop relationships with promising talent. "There's a great demand among these companies to identify these young people and keep in touch with them through their college years," says Ouchi.
Scholars receive individual college counseling, including an SAT prep workshop. The program has had a remarkable success record with 100 percent of graduating Scholars attending four-year colleges. Many Scholars enter the nation's most selective schools, and they typically become the first college graduates in their families.
Riordan Fellows Program
The Riordan Fellows Program is designed for young people who have graduated from college and are thinking about earning an MBA. "These people have already identified a preliminary field of interest," says Ouchi, "and we show them concrete models that they can identify with. The motivational effect on them is immense."
Students participate in graduate-level discussions and case studies led by UCLA Anderson faculty, hear guest speakers from the corporate community, participate in a community service project and receive individual MBA-prep counseling. They also have opportunities to meet and network with industry professionals and the UCLA Anderson community.
Since their original endowment by Richard Riordan, The Riordan Programs have been supported by a variety of corporations, foundations and individuals. "We have a history of successful relationships with many companies," says Ouchi. Volunteer support by UCLA Anderson faculty and staff makes the programs highly cost-effective.
For many Scholars and Fellows, The Riordan Programs is a transformative experience. "A lot of these young adults grew up in foster homes and have never known a positive social network before," says Ouchi. "They maintain contact with each other and with our staff for a lifetime. It becomes a really important part of their lives. It's very important to them and it's very important to us. It's part of our mission at UCLA Anderson to help people succeed."
Notable graduates of the Riordan Programs include L.A. City Council President Alex Padilla, former Mayor of San Fernando Silverio Robledo, Noberta Noguera, general manager at Pacific Bell, and Jarrod Fong, vice president for JP Morgan.

Sun South Products necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 32 diseños de 6 diseñadores freelance.
The design should include both "Answer Atlanta" and "Bright Futures Atlanta"
In late April or early May, we're hosting a 1st annual 3-on-3 basketball tournament. It will be involving 2 charities, "Answer Atlanta" & "Bright Futures of Atlanta". We are very excited!
The charity Answer Atlanta raised several thousand dollars last year and is helping Bright Futures re-pave their driveway and build a half-court basketball court.
Bright Futures Atlanta, founded in 2002, provides unique educational, social, and spiritual opportunities for adolescents and their families in the inner-city Atlanta. As a way to break the cycle of too-early parenthood, glorification of criminality, and criticism of academic achievement, year-round programming is offered in an environment conducive to learning, for the physical as well as spiritual growth of participants
Although the charity event is for children, our actual target is individuals in their 20's, 30's, and 40's who contributed to the charity last year and we are trying to convince to sign up for the basketball tournament.
We need a design that can both serve as letterhead and/or a tee-shirt or hat design. We will also need the files in multiple vectors/formats. Thanks!
Use your creativity! We WOULD like to incorporate a basketball and both of the names of the charities. But if you want to only show a portion of a basketball, that is fine.
Other options include:
- A basketball goal or net - optional
- the words "Spring 2010" - optional
- the happy sunshine from the Bright Futures website - optional
Below are links to each of the charity websites and also 4 links to tee shirt designs that we like.
