GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Nisky is a great school. I am not only a parent of three graduated children in recent years but I am a graduate as well. The standards here are higher than other schools HOWEVER my opinion of the administration has declined rapidly. My first issue (among many not addressed here) would be a principal appointed who clearly demonstrates his part time devotion to his "educational job" yet his full time presence in the professional sports area - I find offensive. When did we lower our standards to appoint someone who doesn't devote 40 hours a week to his job? Is that why we have assistant principals to take up his slack? My attendance at the HS didn't see ANY assistant principals. The whole district has become disappointing in my eyes.
I have been a parent in the Nisky district for 15 years, with my youngest now in HS. I can tell you that its a matter of time before this district - which is completely overrated - crashes. The Administration for a pristigious, upscale district is lost (to say the least) and without giving too much detail, the bottom line for anyone willing to consider their child(ren) attending Nisky schools is that it is the children themselves who make Niskayuna look good.
My daughter is a freshman this year. So far I have been very impressed with the school and all of the oppurtunities that are available to her. I don't think I could ask for more from a public or private school!
Highly overrated. The teachers hands are held due to state regs. Quality of education has gone down the toilet. Bullying is ignored far and wide and the kids are horrible to each other. Nobody does anything to stop it. It's all smoke and mirrors. Don't buy into it.
Niskayuna schools is like many high caliber public schools. It is excellent and offers one the best public school curriculum around. It cannot be everything to everyone. If your child is among the top and is ambitious, it is a great place with plenty of challenging offerings. If your child is seriously struggling and is among the lower percentile, he/she will get great services and attention. If your child is somewhere in the middle (depending on where), he/she will get lost in the shuffle. Contrary to those who are disillusioned by the music dept, I find the music dept to be excellent and committed. Of course the better caliber music students should get accolades. I don't see this as a problem. There should be some semblance of meritocracy. Above all, the student body exhibits great acceptance of uniqueness. Students are quite considerate toward each other. It's a great environment.
Highly overrated. I have found with both of my children that the competition and emphasis on the 'ivy' track destroyed their joy of learning. Both of my children are intelligent kids who did well, but whose love of school was extinguished when they walked through the door. Contrary to the previous reviewer - the music dept is not dedicated to teaching all kids, but to the accolades they receive from showcasing the chosen few. We won't be sending our youngest to Nisky High - we've learned our lesson twice over. Shameful.
Man, forget all of that. Niskayuna is just an average school. It us just a suburban school that has little to no diversity. Schools like Schenectady High School are more diverse, just like the real world.
Consistently ranked one of the top school districts in the Albany area, Niskayuna HS offers tremendous learning opportunities to its entire student population, resulting in a high level of college attendance among its graduates. Most school districts will cut art/music programs when budgets are tight but Niskayuna has an outstanding music program whose ensembles achieve gold and silver consistently in local NYSSMA competitions. This is mainly due to the commitment demonstrated by the dedicated and talented staff, parents who care about education, and students who understand the value of a solid education.
Amazing school! The teachers are some of the best you will ever find in public schools, the classes are generally interesting, and the atmosphere completely supports all academic pursuits. There is an air of open-mindedness in which students are free to explore their interests and take learning to the next level.
Academic programs are exceptional, and students excel in areas of music and art. Good sports programs and many outside activities available. I personally love it as a member of the town.
Although the student to teacher ratio is higher than in past years, that has not changed the almost unprecedented level of academic achievement that this school offers. Without doubt, this is the best public high school in the region, based solely on academic results. In addition to this, the extracurricular activities offered are varied and interesting. There are several bands, orchestras and choirs, many clubs and groups, and of course, a wide choice of sporting activities. The facilities are excellent, with several sporting fields, a new track and bleachers, weights room, and pool.

So, since I just posted a picture of one of my characters, Salo-chan Kama, I decided to post a process I use to design clothes for characters.
It's actually a helpful method because I put each article of clothing on a separate layer. It gives me a good feel for how everything is layered, and how the clothes will look if any specific article is removed. It's also a great way to learn to understand just how the clothes work and how they are worn.

Department of Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Antiquities: Archaic Greek Art (7th-6th centuries BC)
Attic black-figure dinos
© 1994 RMN / Hervé Lewandowski
Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Antiquities
Archaic Greek Art (7th-6th centuries BC)
A dinos was used for mixing water and wine. This example consists of a large bowl on a separate foot. Both parts are covered with the same decoration of plant and animal friezes. On one side of the shoulders Perseus is being chased by the Gorgons, while on the other hoplites are fighting, framed by their chariots. The Gorgon Painter, one of the earliest masters of the black-figure technique and a pioneer of the Attic tradition of figurative decoration on pottery, owes his name to this vessel.
An unusual shape
A dinos was a vessel that consisted of two parts: a large bowl and a tall moulded foot. The potter has transferred the shape of his model, originally in bronze, into terracotta. The fact that the original was in metal explains the extremely elaborate shape of the foot, with its mouldings and flat disks. These vessels were particularly designed for use at banquets. The Greeks only drank their wine diluted. Large vessels with wide mouths, such as the dinos or the krater, were used to dilute the wine with water. The dinos was designed so that the servants did not have to stoop to reach the diluted wine.
The Corinthian influence
Most of the vessel's surface is covered with a series of bands of friezes alternating plant motifs (intertwining palmettes and lotus blossoms) and animals, including mythological creatures such as mermaids and sphinxes alongside deer and wild cats. Among the wild cats there are a few male figures, in reference to the Oriental tradition of the Master of the Animals. The early years of Attic black-figure ware were strongly influenced by the Corinthian style; Corinth was then the most important pottery production center. The friezes reveal how close Attic pottery was to the Corinthian school, itself influenced by the Oriental style.
The Gorgon Painter
The ornamentation on the shoulders is strikingly different from the rest of the decoration. This is the earliest entirely figurative frieze in pottery. The artist takes his name from the main scene, which is a popular episode from the Greek legend of Perseus. The hero is shown fleeing the Gorgons after murdering their sister Medusa, shown collapsing after Perseus has lopped off her head. The gods charged with protecting Perseus are following the Gorgons. Hermes is recognizable thanks to his petasus and caduceus. The woman in front of him is thus likely to be Athena.
On the other side of the shoulders is a more traditional scene showing a duel between hoplites alongside their chariots.
This vessel gave the Gorgon Painter (fl. 600-580 BC) his name. He was a pupil of the Nessos Painter, who was the first master of the black-figure style. The Gorgon Painter borrowed the Gorgon motif from him, expanding on it in his own style. In this entirely narrative scene, devoid of any purely decorative elements, the Gorgon Painter heralds the rise of Attic pottery which progressively shook off the Corinthian influence during the second quarter of the 6th century BC.

Find your feminine side
Brands that have historically had a male-dominated primary audience are working out how to communicate to women – without alienating men.
"As a company we're quite macho. The culture's quite male. We're good at knowing what men want but when it comes to targeting women, we're a bit less sure. And we're worried that if we do something for women, our male customers won't like us as much."
If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. Women control over 70 per cent of global spending according to the Boston Consulting Group, yet many brands where men have historically been the primary target audience are finding it hard to reach women and with the right tone of voice.
The comment comes from an automotive marketer quoted in 'The Daring Book for Boys in Business: A Toolkit for Marketing to Women in Male Companies and Categories' by Jane Cunningham and Philippa Roberts.
This is not about creating separate brands just for women – although that is sometimes an option – it is more about a company's marketing being inclusive when it isn't used to being so.
Brands such as Nokia, Harley-Davidson and Pernod Ricard, which owns brands such as Chivas Regal and Absolut, are all realising the opportunity of targeting both men and women in marketing communications, although the trigger behind the move differs dramatically for each brand.
Pernod Ricard's new strategy of targeting female drinkers will be piloted in China but rolled out globally if it is successful, as Marketing Week revealed last month.
"When you see the other established categories slowing down, we have to find new momentum and [targeting female consumers] is one of those," says Horace Ngai, managing director of Pernod Ricard China, who spoke to Marketing Week at its Global Capital Markets Day in Beijing last month. Ngai also admits that the company is intrinsically skewed towards men because its two key categories are whiskey and cognac.
Overall sales growth in China has also dropped slightly, which spurred the company to look for 'new momentum' by targeting female drinkers. Sales in the region are currently growing at a rate of 8 per cent year on year, down from 15 per cent in the last financial year.
The new territory of targeting female drinkers also relates to external factors, including reaching consumers who drink at home – and in China in particular, the rise of female-only socialising, giving them a chance to choose the drinks they consume.
The way a brand markets to women can often boil down to these external factors within each region. For example, Harley-Davidson's target market in the UK differs from its audience in Europe.
A spokesperson from Harley-Davidson says: "The demographic of motorcyclists as a whole and then specifically Harley owners varies greatly, even within Europe. If you travel to a Harley event in Spain you will see young customers, both male and female, but in the UK motorcyclists are mostly male with an average age of 47."
However, this doesn't mean the UK marketing is skewed towards older men: the brand still accounts for female consumers through initiatives that specifically target women. In the UK, at individual dealer level, there are ladies' day events and female-focused fashion shows. Although the bikes are not cheap, there is clearly an audience for them: 1.1 million women in the UK earn a salary over £35,000 and 1 million have more than £50,000 in savings.
Other brands find marketing that appeals to both sexes is more effective, yet there is a fine line to tread to make sure that men are not alienated. Rob Calder, head of marketing at cider brand Kopparberg, says the alcohol market is sensitive to this. "In my experience, it's always been the case that you are better to err on the side of male appeal rather than female.
"You can appeal to female drinkers with brands that are more masculine but you tend to wipe out any appeal to blokes if you become too girly. It works one way but not the other unfortunately."
Many brands are unconscious of the fact that their marketing is male-focused because of a historical and traditional approach to it that assumes men make the purchasing decision in that category, according to Cunningham (see viewpoint below).
She says: "Many companies are unaware of the unconscious biases they have internally and until awareness and consciousness is built around those biases it's very difficult for companies to change.
"They are not consciously prejudiced, anti-women or sexist, they just don't realise that a lot of their default modes, ways of operating and beliefs around what does and doesn't work in marketing comes from a very masculine perspective."
In certain categories there has been a shift in terms of the gender of the key consumer; for example, Nokia found that smartphone ownership was dominated by women.
Nokia senior consumer insights manager Elizabeth Southwood says: "We were aware of technology brands alienating women with their tone and messaging but also of the fact that increasing numbers of ladies were adopting smartphones which has now overtaken men, 58 per cent to 42 per cent, as well as other tech."
Southwood admits that the technology industry historically can be guilty of being quite male-focused, by reeling off specifications instead of what a product actually does and how it can fit into someone's daily life – which is relevant for women, but also for men.
Nokia's approach to this is the Remarkable Women campaign, which equipped a community of powerful and busy women with a Nokia Lumia. They then received guidance on how the phone would fit into their lives (see Q&A below).
EBay advertising also veered along the consumer insights path and found some surprising results in relation to what categories men and women buy on the site.
On eBay, more than half (51 per cent) of the people that shop for baking supplies and equipment are men and 38 per cent of shoppers
in the video games category are female.
Head of eBay advertising in the UK Phuong Nguyen says: "Brands are continually surprised at how these stereotypes are changing. I'm surprised by the briefs that we get from video game clients who are very narrow-minded in their gender thinking about who their target audience are.
"It's very important, given the velocity at which consumer behaviour changes, that brands are taking into account these kinds of insights."
Charmaine Eggberry, director at O2's start-up accelerator Wayra, would like greater representation of females in the start-up community and believes that it is a confidence issue where more men than women believe they can successfully start a business.
This is backed up by statistics from The Women's Enterprise Task Force, which shows that businesses owned by women access an average of £10,000 funding compared with £15,000 for men. In addition, women tend to be charged higher interest rates on loans – an average of 2.9 per cent compared with a 1.9 per cent average for men.
This is despite research from MBA Online showing that while female tech entrepreneurs begin with just 12 per cent on average of the funding capital of their male counterparts, they go on to have 12 per cent higher revenues.
Eggberry says: "There is a perception that the start-up world is very male oriented but the reality is these companies are more likely to survive if they are female-founded companies. From raw start-ups to [fully-fledged] companies, they make that transition better.
"Fewer women believe they are capable of starting and running a business, whether it's tech or anything else. There is work to be done: getting people excited about the tech world starts at school, getting them to stay in the tech world is about the environment and getting them to be successful in the tech world is about breaking down the stereotypes about what makes a successful entrepreneur and start-up."
Ensuring there is a gender balance in your audience can often come down to how you market your brand or, in the case of Kopparberg, your portfolio. The cider brand has different flavours that appeal to both men and women.
Calder says: "This year we have decided to focus on the product more. It would have been easy for us to go down the route of talking about fruit flavours that lean more towards female consumers but we have found a way to strike a balance between female and masculine appeal and talking about the variety of cider that we produce."
It is also important that the channels used relate to what you are trying to achieve as more consumers look for personal experiences.
Belinda Parmar, author of 'Little Miss Geek', a book about women and the tech industry, believes female consumers do not believe the big brand campaigns and to appeal to them, brands should try 'grass-roots' marketing.
"Paying a lot of money for superstars, as with the case of Alicia Keys for Blackberry, is very much seen [by women] as a marketing ploy," says Parmar. "Grass-roots marketing, getting influential women on the ground to talk about your product is far more effective than slapping your logo on a billboard."
Nokia used insights showing that women seek reassurance from their 'circles of trust' and that authenticity is very important for its Remarkable Women campaign.
Southwood says: "We didn't specifically ask the community to tell their friendship groups about the Remarkable Women Community or about their Nokia Lumia but they have because both have become tools for them. This is a powerful recipe and is working with increased recommendation rates for our brand and products. We should be where women are, and engage with them on an authentic level."
For some health and beauty brands, where the audience has historically been more feminine than masculine, there is also a shift.
Unilever deodorant brand Sure, for example, has moved away from pretty advertising images to those that present women as strong, using the line 'unapologetically dominant' for its Maximum Protection product.
The brand is aiming to drive awareness of the product in relation to 'high sweat' moments to increase trials of the new deodorant. Through BlisMedia, it is sending ads to the mobile and tablet devices of women over 20 years old both at UK Wi-Fi locations, for example coffee shops, restaurants and department stores, and through 3G networks at gyms, salons, on trains and at Boots and Superdrug. The ads are mainly targeted to relevant female health and beauty sites.
Meanwhile, Sure's product for men is currently promoting itself via a tie up with Formula 1, giving people the chance to drive the Lotus team car.
While there are obvious reasons why deodorant brands have separate products for men and women, a simple gender split does not work for other categories.
Pernod Ricard managing director of brands Thierry Billot says this is the case for alcohol. "Women don't want to see a product that has been developed for them only because they have the impression of being put in a ghetto. As far as they're concerned as men do.
"We are very careful not to treat women as a separate group. It's more of a question of picking up on the brand's taste profile, which would have a good level of acceptance by women."
Judging by the examples of the brands that have already started to make a considered approach to include women in their marketing focus, it is clear that marketing to women does not have to be at the expense of alienating male consumers.
It's about striking the right balance, so that women are not ruled out altogether by male-dominated categories, especially those that have either consciously or unconsciously failed to realise the commercial potential of female purchasing power.
Elizabeth Southwood
Senior consumer insights manager Nokia
Marketing Week (MW): Would you say that the technology industry is quite male-focused in terms of marketing communications?
Elizabeth Southwood (ES): The technology industry historically can be guilty of being quite male-focused, messaging what the technology is by reeling off specifications instead of what it actually does.
MW: What were the main ideas and reasons for Nokia's Remarkable Women campaign?
ES: We wanted to engage with women on a different level, to have a point of view, and wanted to use a challenging spirit. We launched the Remarkable Women Community specifically focusing on women who were tackling conventions and breaking down barriers in their chosen field. It's a diverse group, from a mayoral candidate to chief executives, a magician, comedian, DJ, beatboxer, playwright and many more.
The key aim was to bring like-minded women together, equipping them with a Nokia Lumia, giving them the opportunity to network and encourage others to carve their own paths as well as making their day a bit easier with technology.
MW: How did the Remarkable Women campaign make technology more accessible to women?
ES: The important element was equipping each participant with a Nokia Lumia, setting up their phone on an individual basis, talking them through how the phone works as well as regular updates on new apps and services. The women are so busy and always on the go and the Nokia Lumia has become integral to their daily lives; with many using the maps to navigate to meetings, syncing with their PCs, emailing and taking photos of the jobs they're working on. It's become more of a life tool than a phone. As a result, they're recommending it to their friends, making it accessible to even more people.
MW: How important is it for products and services to have a universal appeal?
ES: Look at successful technology brands – they aren't designed for a specific gender, they have universal appeal. The rise of the tablet market demonstrates this. Likewise advertising shouldn't alienate a demographic.
MW: What's next for the project?
ES: We're partnering with event organisers Inspirational You on several upcoming events supporting the Leading Women panel at Birkbeck University this month, which we're excited about. We're aiming to do more of these speaker panels, alongside growing our Twitter community and our offline network of women.
Jane Cunningham co-author of The Daring Book for Boys in Business
It didn't really occur to us that an inevitable consequence of targeting women would be alienating men. We were surprised by the anxiety that went on in these organisations. The examples they had in their heads were from the school of pink marketing – very traditionally masculine to the very traditionally feminine.
Many companies are unaware of the unconscious biases they have: internally they don't realise that a lot of their default modes, ways of operating and beliefs around what does and doesn't work in marketing come from a very masculine perspective. Until they challenge themselves to look at what the category might look like from a female point of view, it's going to be very difficult for them to move the game on.
People are not going to reach out to women because it's a nice thing to do or right thing to do. Companies operate on the basis of commercial opportunities and how to realise the potential of the business. The opportunity is enormous and is worth spending a lot of time agonising over, working out how to make the most of the opportunity even if it is difficult.
There is a way of doing it that means you can hold on to your masculine audience but will actually succeed in developing the brand into something more 21st century, more exciting and bigger because it can appeal to women too. There is a bit of anxiety around change that it will somehow shrink the brand, but the aim is making it bigger, better and more exciting for everybody – including men.

Great article! Buyer behaviour is ever changing based on the very mobile market, women also buy on behalf of men in the gifting market, seasonally! A woman may run around shopping for 'his' family. The point above (ref ebay*) doesn't just mean woman may want a video game or that a man may be into his baking, but maybe they are also purchasing on behalf of another. Brands also need to consider how much influence a woman has over technical products. A man may not use the washing machine, however he may pay for it based on the model the woman wants...He may also fill in his details online to set up the warranty...So who is the e-Marketing target here?
Drilling down further into gender can open up so many test and learn plans and give great targeted results...However the acquisition of a customer is just the start, talking to them ongoing 'male or female' can also be a challenge...time of year, time of month! There's a constantly moving brand war. :-)
Research that our company recently commissioned entirely bears out the main thesis of this article – that many brands are finding it hard to reach women. The 2013 GI Insight Customer Intimacy Index, based on a survey of over 1,000 consumers, reveals that women are much less impressed than men with how well companies demonstrate knowledge of them in their one-to-one marketing communications. While men highly rate brands' ability to demonstrate their familiarity with their customers by providing relevant and timely messages and offers – giving them an Index score of 106 (with 100 being the average) – women give all companies they deal with a grade of just 94.
This disparity may also indicate, however, that women simply have higher expectations of the companies they deal with and not that brands know men better. Statistics showing that women drive ecommerce may help to explain this finding – they spend more time browsing and buying online and so may expect marketing communications to reflect a greater knowledge of their needs and preferences as customers. Other research we have done shows that more women have 'liked' brands online than men, indicating a greater personal investment in relationships with companies. Regardless of the reason for the disparity in the Index, brands clearly need to try harder to meet women consumers' expectations by better tailoring their marketing messages for them.
Andy Wood, Managing Director, GI Insight
A great article which shows how difficult it is to reach the target market. The old saying of Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus may be truer than we think when trying to target female audiences. They think and behave differently to their male counterparts when browing and purchasing. To understand this more means trying to build on line relationships with the right tyoe of female should be a focus of any male dominated industry. I guess focus groups with existing female customers may give some insight into the potential for this emerging target market. In usual marketing theory speak the product or service needs to satisfy the needs and wants of the target audience. At the time of writing I am teaching students how to analyse the target audience and further comments from them will appear shortly. I am trying to impress upon them as budding marketing professionals how important it is to understand the needs and wants of customers in order to find the right marekting tactic.Lesley Strachan - Programme group Leader for Marketing & HRM
I found this article interesting. It is funny how this industry was male dominated whereas now it is a fact that women are indeed taking over the business world AND additionally are doing a better job than men ever did.
Yes, perhaps men at the moment have a better insight on tech however in this current generation with the youth who were born in tech, it would not surprise me if women took over tech too.
Overall it is a great read!
I am studying advertising and the content of this article was thought-provoking. Really interesting reading.
The world that we currently live in is very media orientated and controlled, different media stories/articles and adverts is the hub of how we behave and our spending patterens within our everyday lifes. some would say we are almost scape goats all following a ever changing trend. however the article above does make sense in which is explains how both males and females are targeted and the ways that companys draw both genders towards their products. great article and a eye opener.
This article is quite interesting.
In fact, it deals with different topics, and it highlights that most of the women do not dare to run a business, this is the case in many countries.
Then I agree that the Nokia Lumia attracts a lot of women!
I think it is interesting to see that women have been recognised for taking up majority of the buying market and also for having a business drive.I do think it is important to target all genders and I understand why business won't want to make products with a male focus for women.
Very Interesting article! Buyer behaviour is very important, including both genders is a powerful tool in marketing. Even if the product is mainly aimed at males, targeting females can also help bring more males attention to the product. Its also useful to point out that women buy gifts for males so again are an imortant part of marketing. Dominantly male marketing will cause females to switch off which isnt good unless you want males to purchase the product.
This is a great way to reach the customers, not only men but also considering more women in marketing. I agree with that new approching.

Previously released as Alpha, Surf is a BitTorrent-developed plugin. Surf Beta seamlessly integrates with your internet browser (either Chrome or Firefox) for faster and more adaptive torrenting.
The official announcement was made on the 15th of this month on BitTorrent's official blog. The Beta version comes with new features, including compatibility with Firefox and a status window for easy monitoring of your downloads.
More importantly, Surf's developing team had focused its efforts into making the plugin more content-creator-friendly by adding a "recommendation engine" to the code.
"Recommendation and prioritization can help drive visibility for BitTorrent partner artists – solving for the exposure barrier that every creator is confronted with. That's pretty powerful stuff," their blog reads.
The benefits of using BitTorrent Surf are many; for one, the plugin uses its capabilities to measure and display the health of every torrent you download, so high-quality media is ensured. On the other side, you can use the plugin to either auto-detect relevant websites or build a list of favorites yourself.
For music enthusiasts, Surf comes with a surprise – thus we're only going to tell you the name of the producer – Derek Vincent Smith.
Get Surf Beta from here and let us know what you think.
Have fun!

There has been an extensive review of ECB Coach Education and a new ECB Coach Education Programme will be
available from September 2013. The general structure of Coach Qualification and Development will remain
similar to recent years, with certificated courses to suit all ages and abilities. An integral course
programme for teachers is also planned for Autumn 2013 - details to be announced in the next few months.
ECB Coaching Qualifications will still be governed by UKCC Certification.
In addition to these New ECB Course Opportunities, Cricket Wales is pleased to announce an increase in its
own available Wales Coach Workshops for 2013/2014. As well as continuing to offer the Technically and
Practically based 4 Workshops introduced in some Regions last Winter - we have devised a further 3 Workshops to
add to our extensive Programme for this Winter Season:
These Workshops, exclusively available in Wales, are all 3 Hour Courses and will provide invaluable
Technical, Tactical & Cricket Awareness information to all Qualified Coaches
The shift in ECB Course Direction and Content is driven by the desire to make coaching more
"Player-Centred". One of the biggest changes is to offer two "entry-points" for coaches wishing to become a
fully qualified coach - a coach can either attend the Certificate in Coaching Children Course or the
Certificate in Coaching Young People and Adults Course - both courses carry the same level of
Certification - but crucially allow a coach to be trained in disciplines more suited to working with
players of a specific age range - therefore making a coach more aware of a players specific needs.
From September 2013, full Coach Qualification (allowing a qualified coach to work alone) will begin at
"Certificate" level and will be underpinned by two shorter courses aimed broadly at training people to
"support" fully qualified coaches - "Coach Support Worker" and "Cricket Activator".
All information and course dates regarding the above courses can be found in the new Cricket Wales Coach
Education Brochure - available below:
For candidates wishing to attend the Cricket Activator, Coach Support Worker, Certificate in Coaching
Children or Certificate in Coaching Young People & Adults courses - please click the link below to download
the application form and follow the instructions on the form
For candidates wishing to attend the Wales Coach Workshops - please click the link below to download the
application form and follow the instructions on the form:
From September 2014, it is anticipated that a series of ECB Coach Personal Development Workshops and
Diploma Courses will allow the keen Coach to further develop their knowledge and skills and possibly
Qualifications - these will appear on this Website in Autumn 2014
For more information regarding Cricket Wales Coach Education Course POLICIES AND PROCEDURES- please click
on the links below:
For more information regarding Coaching please refer to the following:
By working together, many people and different organisations share a responsibility for supporting the growth,
quality, and access to the game of cricket in Wales.
It is vital that we all have our say about our experiences in cricket and share any ideas which might help
improve the game.
Please spend 10 minutes to complete the confidential survey by clicking here.
We have tried to make the survey 'child friendly' so please encourage and assist all people in the household
involved in cricket to have their say.

SANDY, Utah — Nothing defines Fabian Johnson better than versatility.
It is one reason why the German-American was such a coveted addition to the US national team in 2011. Johnson can shift between midfield and left back with ease. No matter where he plays, he takes to the position like it is his natural one.

- Watch What Happens Live
Kristen Doute
Ugh – Lying liars and the lies they tell! Such is the love story of Stassi "Don't Hate Me 'Cause I've Had A Chinplant" Schroeder and Jax Taylor, henceforth known as Jax-A$$-i. So the Vanderpump Rules reunion happened last night and it was basically the Jax and Stassi show, round 100. I don't know why the Ks and Tom 1 (not 2) even showed up. Speaking of which, they need t-shirts like Thing 1 & Thing 2.
Scheana Marie Famewhore reached new lows in her deplorable groveling famewhoredom by basically sucking up to Stassi and doing her attacking for her. I mean, Scheana – get some self-esteem. Stassi called you a homewrecking, untalented, hooker whore on national TV and tried to get you fired at work. This bitch is not your friend. You are so Fetch from Mean Girls and no matter what you do, you're never going to be a 'thing.' So with that out of the way, let's examine the other shameless ones.
Yes, Stassi and Jax; a tale of amoral and delusional love. I mean they really are sort Natural Born Killers aren't they. Instead of using literal guns they just emotionally decimate everyone in their disgusting quest to one-up each other and seem important. Lisa Vanderpump dutifully called Jax out on using and abusing Laura-Leigh as a pawn; calling into question his ability to deceive on demand and take advantage of someone in an emotionally vulnerable state. She also expressed disgust about his sexual proclivities for unprotected sex. With anyone. "Clearly, it's not working for you," she admonished derisively.
Growing up is sooooo hard to do. Especially when you're a 32-year-old male model perfecting the dilettante lifestyle. Such is the case of Jax Taylor, who everyday listens to Rod Stewart's anthem "Forever Young" on his iPod while slicing lime twists for the perfect cocktail. But alas fair Jax – everyone has a moment when they wake up Maggie Mae.
Worst of all is that Jax let his people down. His followers, ready to decamp in the jungle without their eyeliner for him, were crestfallen.
In the tangled web of Vanderpump Rules, Jax is trying to rekindle his relationship with Stassi Schroeder and to do that he's taking their dog shopping. Stassi wants all remnants of that flea Laura-Leigh exterminated. Over talk of new leashes, Stassi then turns her laser devil eyes on Jax and he is forced to beg and plead with her not to exterminate him as well.
Stassi and Jax, the endless tale of emotional f**kwittism. Is buying a new dog accessory some sort of break-up rite of passage now?
Oh good lord with this show. I really think the cast of Vanderpump Rules should just bottle their tears and sell them as a cocktail at SUR. I mean someone is always crying! In every scene: sob, sob, sob, sob… If Diamond Water can become a thing, Teary Vodka can.
So last night Jax Taylor proved that he is just as self-absorbed as Stassi Schroeder (what did we expect from a male model!) when he dumped rebound girlfriend Laura-Leigh of the Minnie Mouse helium voice and meth addiction after her AA meeting. Yep, that happened – although he told her they could keep having sex.
And in the same episode Stassi showed why she has no friends and is always getting shizzed upon by boyfriends; because she treats people like CRAP! And we all know you treat people how you expect to be treated. Stassi, Princess of Low Self-Esteem. She wears transparent well, doesn't she?
Somebody needs to revoke Jax Taylor's Food Handler's card because our pretty male model made a serious faux pas on last night's Vanderpump Rules with ladylove of the minute Laura Leigh!
Everyone's favorite little reincarnated Minnie Mouse whose voice floats and squeaks with aplomb christened SUR with Jax in a little late-night bathroom hooking up. ON THE FLOOR. Of the VIP bathroom. According to the security guard, he walked in and saw Jax and Laura Leigh trousers down, getting busy. He promptly phoned Ken, who promptly called a PR meeting where he informed the flabbergasted Lisa Vanderpump about extracurricular activities in the workplace. Oh dear – what. a. mess. Literally and figuratively.
I have two things to say about this: 1) Does LL seriously want to be thought of as the gross desperate girl who gets busy on a public restroom floor? Even Britney Spears isn't that dirty.
2) Did Lisa seriously let that get featured on television? Image problem is right! And apparently this is a bit of a trend with LL because the next night she and Jax are out to dinner and they slip into the employee bathroom to reenact their magical moment. Where are the police with public indecency citations when we need them?
Last night on Vanderpump Rules we were treated to Stassi Schroeder's deployment of a new identity and further examples of her meteoritic dissension into crazy fameho of monstrous (monster being the operative word!) proportions.
Apparently no one at Sur ever leaves Sur. It's a vortex of incest or something and I am deeply concerned for the safety of their public restrooms. I would advise our poor Lisa Vanderpump to make STD tests mandatory among the staff. It is a matter of public health. Call the CDC, peeps! And get these souls on match.com – they need to date in the outside world!
So Stassi has left Jax Taylor for Frank. And Jax has a sit-down at the Barbie mansion-come-to-life known as Lisa's house to piteously cry about his egregious behavior in Vegas. For shame, these waxed and buffed specimens parading as menz took their shirts off and pretended to fight. That fighting was reminiscent of a New Kids On The Block video! And Jax still loooorves dear Stassi Staph Infection, but knows he must release her into the wilds.
Last night on Vanderpump Rules the battle for Stassi Schroeder's corroded heart continued. And it involved men brawling in the parking lot, thrown drinks, and lots of tears. Was I the only one laughing?
So Stassi is corralling her two best friends Kristen Doute and Katie Maloney (who finally got some airtime this week!) to go to Vegas for her 24th birthday. It's a tradition that every year on the eve of the most illustrious birthday of the year – almost more important that Baby Jesus' – Stassi begins her annual trek to the holy land. The mecca of debauchery, inappropriately abused sequins, and liquid splendor. And all hail queen Stassi of the golden hair and orange tan cause she is the chosen one. That's what she tells herself anyway. I'm still surprised she can find two people willing to vacation with her.
Apparently Stassi has A-List friends and B-List friends, all of whom are employees at Sur
per her contract with Bravo and first she invites the A-Listers so they can be sure to waste their vacation days on her and get off work. Then when she's positive the B-Listers won't be able to score time off she pity invites them and then laughs when they feel bad declining. More champagne for her!

About 30 representatives from four law enforcement agencies -- the Tulsa police, Tulsa County Sheriff's Office, the U.S. Marshals Service and the FBI -- had been working round-the-clock looking for the person that authorities say killed three people and wounded two others in shooting attacks early Friday.
The police identified the arrested men as Jake England, 19, and Alvin Watts, 32. They were taken into custody from a home in Tulsa.
"We're not exactly sure what their relationship is to another; whether they are friends or extended family members," said Capt. Jonathan Brooks said.
The men did not offer any resistance, he said.
The pair will be charged with three counts of murder and two counts of shooting with intent to kill, the department said.
Detectives were interrogating the two men Sunday morning and did not yet know their motive.
"It took a lot of work, a lot of collaborations between several different agencies, and a lot of help from the community," Brooks said, about what led them to the men.
The news will undoubtedly come as relief to residents, many of whom had changed their daily habits since the shooting.
Just blocks from where two of the shootings occurred in the predominantly black neighborhoods in north Tulsa, Philip Hargett moved his trash cans from the side of his home to the front so he would never have his back to the street.
"It's going to be a couple of days for all of us to get over this," Hargett told CNN affiliate KOKI in Tulsa on Saturday night.
His wife, Migdalia, said the shootings "scare the daylights out of me."
Venecia Williams, a mother and a grandmother who lives in the area, said she was afraid because she just didn't know what might happen next.
"That many shootings in one night?" she said. "That's quite a concern."
After the shooting, a survivor described the suspect as a white man, driving an "older" white pickup truck, said Tulsa Police Chief Chuck Jordan.
Brooks, the police captain, said such a truck had been spotted at least three of the shooting sites around the time of the attacks. It has been recovered.
Both England and Watts are white. All the victims were black.
Police now believe that both England and Watts were in the truck at the same time during the shootings, Brooks said. "It appeared to have been ditched," he said.
The first shooting occurred at 1:03 a.m. Friday. That victim, 49-year-old Dannaer Fields, died at a hospital.
Three minutes later, two other people were shot, authorities said. One of them "pretty close to the (gunman's) vehicle and the other ... a little further away," said Brooks, the police captain. Those two were initially in critical condition but, by Saturday evening, were expected to survive, he said.

Let's Rediscover Why We're Best Friends
Red cup season is now over. Sniff, sniff. I am an admitted coffee addict, and I love a good cup of Starbucks. Judge me (or not), but it's what I like. I especially like the simple change of seasons displayed in their stores. It's not grandiose, it's not in your face, it's not religious. It's just nice. Red cup season means the return of pumpkin spice drinks (so tasty!) as ... Read More »

Cracker Barrel: Boundaries
Late last month I watched a couple of surveyors at work and got to thinking about boundaries.
How strange, this compulsion to draw lines on the earth, marking off your land from mine. We accept it as normal because we're used to it. But when you think about it, parceling up the planet is a rather peculiar act.
True, each creature deserves its place under the sun. The more developed and complex the creature, the greater the need for defined territory.

Tired of bad news, day in and day out, coming out of IraqNam? Not to worry! Things are changing for the better!
This weekend, Darth Cheney made a surprise stop in IraqNam. He had two goals, first to force the Iraqi legislators to pass a hideous petro-law that would insure Haliburton's and US Oil's future supplies for a generation. He also met with the Iraqi military leadership. The very next day, the same Iraqi military leaders placed a ban on all photos and video of any insurgent bomb blast. Their purported reason is that shooting the scene on film or in digital format, will somehow destroy forensic evidence and interfere with their "investigations".
And did I tell you that I have a bridge for sale in Brooklyn? Cheap, yet strong!
What surprises me most is how the US media has responded to this obvious attack on a free media (mainly ours). The silence is deafening. I am at a loss for words to explain the lack of reaction. It was bad enough to make an illegal ban on photos of US soldiers' caskets and funerals (allegedly for privacy reasons) but this is almost beyond belief.
So, we now know that Cheney's instructions were to Iraq – we need GOOD NEWS, even if you have to manufacture it, and hide the truth.
I am so proud of our news organizations. Sanjaya, Anna Nicole, and end of school pranks are far more important than our invasion and deadly occupation of another country.

I too would love to have a channel available that discussed and reported the news 24/7. I thought we had it in Fox News but the personalities who reported this stuff made me sick. News reporting should not bring with it arrogance. CNN is very slanted and tends to go off subject at every chance. I thought we had it when MSNBC opened and I found a good variation of news and entertainment. Now it is all tabloid with those awful Anna Nichol and Paris Hilton stories and since they fired Imus, I have no reason to go there.
Talk radio bores me to tears and I pretty much stay on satellite classical music stations. What is sad is that I received 300 television channels and not one decent news channel. I get more news here from the home page than from anywhere. I love it when we all reply to the commentaries and news stories. This is what the internet should be.
Major news channels now are becoming little more than drivel designed to barely hold the endless string of ads together.
Ironically, most Americans are getting their news from John Stewart's "Daily Show." The real irony is that it's probably more news in 30 minutes than CNN and Faux News combined put out in 24 hrs.
The premise here is that if the media broadcasts "news" that the US audience will watch it.
I'm not so sure . . .

Perhaps it is time for us to refuse to patronize the current media. Readership of newspapers is down already, but we need to stop buying them completely. We also need to reduce our watching of television news to the point where it is apparent in the Nelson ratings. Hit them where it hurts – in the pocket. They don't want to present facts. We don't want read or hear fiction.
There was a time when unbiased news actually existed in the MSM. Now they kowtow and submit to higher authority (Federal) and revel in their complacency. It is time to put a stop to it.
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is knowing not to put it in fruit salad.
If you want to see where this nation/world is and how close we are to total control or major changes, take a look at (911files.net).
This Bush/Cheney gain are among some of the major players controlled by satan himself.
When Iraq-Nam began, right-wing talk radio wiped the drool from its collective mouth, and asked a single question of the "mainstream" media:
"Are you a patriot first, or a journalist?"
Translation: are you going to be good little lap-dogs, and uncritically repeat, as news, whatever the administration spokesman tells you?
Observe that, in the question, "patriot" and "journalist" are mutually exclusive concepts. True enough, from the administration's point of view. A journalist, after all, does bad things, like reporting both sides of a story.
Unfortunately, most of the "mainstream" media have decided it's too scary to be labelled "unpatriotic." They are good little stenographers for the Bush administration, with a few timid exceptions.
No one, but no one, asks the really important questions, such as:
"Why do Iraqis want to kill Americans?" Oh, yeah. It's because they "hate our freedom" and are jealous of our material prosperity.
"Why not just pull out of Iraq (and every other foreign country in which we station troops), and let the locals figure it all out?" Or, put another way, is Iraq their country, or ours?
"Why does the Administration want only good news reported? Will ignoring the facts make them go away?"
Nice article, Rob….
There are very few real journalists any more. The news media that we are forced to live with is nothing more than a government propaganda machine.
Since our news media is owned by large corporations, who are supportive of the chimp, little real news gets out.
Real news:
If we had a real news network they would have started investigative reporting on 9/11 – Pentagon. They would have shown the 757 (ha ha) hitting the Pentagon. Three-quarters of the worlds population believe 9/11 was a lie, but our media continues to ignore it.
If there were a Democrat in office he would have been impeached by now. Our propaganda machine covers what the corporate owners want them to.
We read about tainted dog food for two weeks, while the chimp continued to support a lying AG. The press never delt with the AG situation in an unbiased way.
Under the chimps new constitution we still have freedom of the press, to report what the corporate owners want them to.
Remember the impact of Fahrenheit 911? But it petered out because nothing followed it.
We will never be able to get the truth out through the MSM. I think the best bet would be to find someway to finance a series of documentries. Enough to run for two years at least. Keep hammering the truth instead of letting the one shot run and die. You have to keep the pressure on if you want the public to get involved. They have the attention span of a knat. And all they know is what they see on television. They need to be shown the truth and I can't think of any other way to do it.
The democrats would be better served to pour their campaign funds into documentries of this type instead of the crap they spew forth on the MSM.
"The democrats would be better served to pour their campaign funds into documentries of this type instead of the crap they spew forth on the MSM."
Thinking outside the box again, I see. Of course these documentaries, even if totally true and not "spun" in any way to favor the democrats, would still be denounced as propaganda by the republicans and the government controlled press. Actually, its not so much government control as unabashed support, the MSM being owned lock, stock and barrel by big business. Big business owns big government, big business owns the press.

Dark chocolate is not the only type of chocolate. Most people first become acquainted with the smooth, mild flavor of milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate, which is the preferred type for using in chocolate chip cookies. Chocolate assortments allow you to try dark chocolate against these childhood chocolate favorites to determine your preferred chocolate in adulthood or to set out for a party to ensure that everyone gets their favorite chocolate. See how many types of chocolate you can try in the chocolate assortments below:
Fannie May Milk & Dark Chocolate Assortment 2 LB contains numerous favorites from Fannie May including Pixies, chocolate-covered toffee and buttercreams. It's like having an entire candy store in a box. You can try candies covered in milk or dark chocolate in this assortment, which usually sells for around $45.
Ghirardelli Assorted Premium Chocolate Squares: 8-Ounce Tin is filled with perfectly sized squares of Ghiradelli chocolate covering fillings like raspberry, mint or caramel. The chocolate coatings may be milk or dark chocolate, depending on the filling the chocolate is surrounding. A large tin weighing 8 ounces of these chocolates sells for an average of $15.
Small Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips: 25LB Case is made for the serious baker. These chocolate chips are the semi sweet type that is typically used in chocolate chip cookies and other baking recipes. These gourmet chips sell for up to $150 for 25 pounds of chips, or an average of $6 per pound.
Cordials – Cognac, 5 lb bag cost around $50 for the bag. Included in the 5-pound bag are dark chocolate-covered liquid cognac centers. These candies combine the bold flavors or cognac and dark chocolate for an alternative to an after dinner drink and dessert. Set these out at a party and watch how fast they disappear.

How to Make Nappy Hair Look Wavy
Have you ever washed your hair and the next day you couldn't wear a ponytail because your hair looked dry and kinky?
1Wash and condition your hair and let the conditioner sit for 15 minutes.Ad
2Rinse hair with warm water and then switch the water to cold for a few seconds.
3Towel dry your hair by squeezing the excess water from your hair. Don't rub the hair too much.
4Add a small amount of silicone hair de-frizzer to hands and distribute through wet hair.
5Use a hair dryer set on warm and dry the hair a little to get out the excess water but leaving the hair moist.
6Use a smoothing gel or an extra hold gel and apply to semi-damp hair from roots to tips.
7Use a wide tooth comb to get a good distribution of the gel.
8Add a little mousse in the back for shine.
9Brush into a ponytail or leave down which ever you choose. If your hair is shoulder length or longer, it might be better to do a ponytail, because gel will get on your collar and shirt.
10Take the braided tail and get a little gel on your hands,and rub it on, braid it put a shower cap on your head and try not to bother it, so that your ponytail will be neat.
11The next day take off the cap wet your hands and run them over the braid.
12Loosen the braid and shake it to give it that natural wave look.Ad
Are you an expert on hair care?
If so, share what you know about how to have smooth and silky hair.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
We are a bit smarter today because of you.
- If you choose to wear your hair down, don't put much gel at the ends, or it will stain your collar or shirt.
- Treat your hair to a deep conditioning or hot oil treatment once a week.
- Before going out take a dry paper towel and wipe your ponytail, so that gel won't rub off on anything.
- A little conditioner will add a great smell and more waves!!
- For really kinky hair, try combing it out in the middle to make it look longer than it really is.
- Try sleeping with your wet hair in foam curlers. The curlers will help control the curl.
- Avoid 'Volume or Volumizing' shampoos, conditioners, gels, mousses, etc. as they will cause your hair to become frizzy.
- Scrunchies are best for longer and drier hair.
- Use more than three rubber bands or else they will break!
- Go over hair with an anti-humidity hair spray and more silicone based de-frizz serums to control the fine hairs at the nape of your neck and around your ears.
- Make sure to make your ponytail exceptionally tight to keep split ends hidden.
- Make sure you are using a shampoo and conditioner for your hair type.
- Never use rubber bands on dry hair.
- Never go swimming while having your hair this way.
- Always wash hair at least 2 days after using this method!
- Always brush your hair thoroughly.
- Put grease on your edges so that they won't break off because of the gel.
Things You'll Need
- Gel
- Hair grease
- Brush
- Shampoo
- Conditioner
- Scrunchies
- Rubber bands (optional)
- Water

Viloria vs. Estrada: The Preview
By Dirv de Venecia
Published: Apr/04/2013 4:04 PM PHT
Brian "the Hawaiian Punch" Viloria (32-3, 2 NC with 19 wins via KO or TKO) is on a streak of 6 action packed wins since he lost his junior flyweight title to Carlos Tamara in 2010. The 32-year old Filipino pugilist has risen from obscurity and has found a second wind in his career by winning both the WBO flyweight title (won from Julio Cesar Miranda in 2011) and the WBA version (from Hernan Marquez in 2012), thus making him the first unified flyweight champion since 1965.
Viloria has also shed light on what some experts have been saying as "complacency in fights", a criticism which was drawn from his tendency to start out strong and fade in the latter rounds. Brian has now adapted a more aggressive, combination heavy style and has focused more on his conditioning to prevent what happened in his title fight against Tamara.
He is now set to defend his unified flyweight belts in the Chinese district of Macao on April 6, 2013 against a young and very dangerous Juan Francisco Estrada (22-2 with 18 wins coming by KO or TKO). The 22-year old Mexican fought on the same card when Viloria beat Tyson Marquez last November, and was beaten by undefeated WBA light flyweight champion Roman Gonzalez via unanimous decision.
Estrada is a one of those true machismo warriors who are powerful and aggressive, and will not relent until they get victory. The hype surrounding him is backed up by his 18 wins via KO and TKO and his durability which he showcased during his loss to Gonzalez.
One main criticism towards Estrada is that most of his victories have come against opponents who have mediocre or losing records. His fights with Gonzalez and Juan Carlos Sanchez Jr. were the only ones against guys with superior records, but he has lost to both.
Brian Viloria has now fixed the flaws in his game that caused his career to go in a lockdown, and him getting called as someone who chokes in big fights. The Hawaiian Punch now employs a more combination punching heavy style compared to before and has dedicated himself on improving his conditioning. That would be factor could be a key against the aggressive Estrada who might just go on to attack the champion.
Experience would play a key part in this match as Viloria is now used to wars of attrition. He has also benefited from improving his defense along with the other things mentioned above. Brian can opt to use his jab to time Estrada's charges and set-up combinations that can hurt the latter.
Estrada is someone who can eat heavy shot while giving out punishment. This could be his key going into the fight since he needs to pressure Brian Viloria in order for him to dictate the tempo of this bout.
Prediction: It would be a barn burner of a fight considering that Viloria and Estrada have shown that they can knock anyone out in a fight. The first 6 rounds will be close and expect a lot of in-fighting but in the end, Viloria's experience and momentum will help him seal a win, either via late stoppage or decision.

#12 — run or walk in a marathon for a good cause
Jeez. This one was intense. I had no idea that the struggle would be so real. This year, I participated in the Susan G. Komen 60 mile 3-day walk in San Francisco, on behalf of my company. Being the retard that I am, i trained in Dallas, thinking that I would be okay. NO! The hills in San Francisco do NOT LIE.I suffered injuries that lasted for weeks, my fingers were swollen during the hours of walking, and I had to sleep on the ground in a tent. A tent! If you know me, you KNOW I don't do outside.
At the end of the day, after all the complaints, it was truly an experience. I got to walk across the Golden Gate Bridge, bond with other employees in my company from across the country and I survived!

Can A Corpse Burp?
Dear Stephen Juan;
Can a corpse burp? Your right, not in the true sense of a burp. BUT. As a pilot I have flown many corpses around the country using small single or twin engine non-pressurized aircraft. The usual procedure is to remove the right front seat and lay the corpse on the floor then use the seat belts to secure the body. Well as you know, as the aircraft rises in the sky, so goes the pressure in the body.
I have had corpses "burp", "fart", "moan" and even go so far as to sit up. That's an attention getter for the novice along for the ride. Had there been a parachute on board, he no doubt would have jumped. The question "Can a Corpse Burp" brought back some funny memories. Feel free to reprint this if you like.
