Employer Information
The Mayfield Fellows Program (MFP) is a nine-month work/study program that selects 12 outstanding Stanford engineering and science students to study high-technology entrepreneurship. During the summer, each student has a paid summer work assignment in a start-up company, providing students with hands-on entrepreneurial experience.
General Criteria for Participating Start-upsIn order to qualify as a mentor company for the Mayfield Fellows Program, your company must be:
- located in the San Francisco Bay Area;
- at an early stage of growth (either as a pre-IPO start-up or having gone public within the past 3 years); and
- in a high-potential, growth-oriented business.
Mentoring Relationships and Reporting Structure
Stanford requests that each Mayfield Fellow is assigned a senior level mentor within the start-up (e.g., CEO, VP, or founder). Although an individual Mayfield Fellow may have daily supervision by another employee, it is critical to the success of the program that each student have a senior internal sponsor concerned with his or her welfare and activities. For example, a mentor will normally have a weekly or biweekly "1-1" with the student to check progress and goals.
Quality of Work Assignments
Mayfield Fellows are some of the most accomplished and dedicated engineering and science students at Stanford. They often have Bachelor's degrees and partial completion of a Masters degree. They have gone through MFP's rigorous admission process and have completed a comprehensive course on management challenges in growth companies. Smart employers will take advantage of this fact and create assignments that allow the student to demonstrate his or her innovation and design skills. Often, senior managers have critical projects in technical and operating functions that sit on the margin of organizational resources. A Mayfield Fellow could be given the responsibility to fulfill one of these high impact projects. Everyone involved in MFP is aware that menial tasks are part of life in an entrepreneurial environment. However, this program strives for special, mutually beneficial relationships between the student and the company. We seek to maximize the students' learning and their contribution to the venture's success. We have found that it works best if the entire company has an understanding of the Mayfield Fellows Program, to maximize the value of the placement for both the student and the company.
Mentor companies typically pay interns approximately $10,000 during the summer internship for three months of work, although the exact amount is flexible.
Stanford Connection
Although certainly not limited to Stanford-related ventures, MFP is particularly pleased when companies with Stanford graduates seek to participate. Previous connections to Stanford provides additional ties to prospective students and our faculty.
Process and Timeline
Interested companies with the above characteristics place themselves in the pool of employers by filling out a short on-line application. Starting in April, students and employers are introduced to one another through a password-protected section of the MFP website. The selection process is in full swing by the month of May. At the sole discretion of the employers, offers are made to students during the spring, and students have generally accepted a job by early June. The company employs the student full-time during the summer (June to September). In the autumn quarter, employers participate from time to time in the E140C course as guest speakers or case participants. Part-time employment during the school year is possible but it is not an expectation of the program (and is not encouraged if it negatively impacts the student's academic progress).
Respect for Intellectual Property
In all aspects of the program, Stanford endeavors to protect the intellectual property of companies in a professional and rational manner. All class discussions are treated with extremely sensitivity to this issue. MFP's mission is to expose Stanford students to the entrepreneurial process in a variety of high technology ventures, not to put participating companies at risk.
Next Steps for Potential Employers
If interested in participating, please proceed directly to the MFP Employer Sign-Up Page (available April - June).
Employer FAQ
Question: What is the deadline to sign up to participate in the program?
Answer: There is no specific deadline for employers to sign up for the program. However, companies will generally want to sign up by April to make sure they are in the company database when the students start their coursework and begin looking for summer positions. However, companies are encouraged to sign up throughout the spring. In the past, many students have signed with companies that were not in the database at the beginning of the spring quarter. Generally speaking, companies can assume that all students have accepted positions by June of a given year. After June, companies should wait until the winter and sign up for the program for the following year.
Question: How do I sign up for the program?
Answer: Go to the Employer Sign Up Page (available April - June) and follow the instructions.
Question: After my company signs up for the program, how long until we get our student?
Answer: Companies that sign up for the program are not guaranteed to have students assigned to them. In fact, there is no assignment process. Students and employers interview each other and reach their own agreement. This process is facilitated by the Employer Database that is made available only to students in our program. The program staff are not involved in the process, other than to make sure that the company conforms to the specified criteria for participating companies.
Question: After I sign up my company for the program, when can we expect to hear whether or not we have been accepted?
Answer: When the sign up form is submitted, the information is passed to staff and placed in the Employer Database. If you have not heard back within 48 hours, you can assume that you have been accepted.
Question: Once I have signed up my company for the program, how do we start interviewing the students?
Answer: Students and companies are encouraged to contact one another directly. Companies that sign up after the start of April should assume that their information is immediately available to students, and may begin contacting students immediately.
Question: How can we tell which students are still interviewing and available for hire?
Answer: Companies should refer to the list of current Mayfield Fellows to see which students have already accepted positions for the coming summer.
Question: How many students will be accepted into the program?
Answer: There are twelve students accepted into the program each academic year.
Question: How are the students compensated during the summer? Doesn't the Mayfield Fellows Program fund them?
Answer: Students do not receive funding either from Stanford or the MFP during the summer. Rather, companies that participate in the program should understand that they are responsible for paying students a competitive wage.
Question: What other expectations are there for companies who participate in the program?
Answer: In addition to adhering to the criteria listed above, companies should expect to participate in a number of MFP-sponsored activities during the summer and autumn. During the summer, students take E140B, involving evening sessions, and participate in various writing activities to record their summer experiences. Companies can also be expected to host one summer open house (more open house details) for the other students in the program. During the autumn quarter, employers participate from time to time in the E140C course as guest speakers or case participants.
Question: Where can I learn more about the program?
Answer: Call Tina Seelig, MFP co-director, at (650) 725-1627 or e-mail her at email@example.com.

Headphones are available in a zillion styles, sizes, and price ranges. But we've cut through the clu
While it may not be the best-sounding headphone for the money, the Bose Freestyle's superior design and comfort level make it a go-to choice for anyone seeking a sporty and stylish in-ear model.
The slick looking Momentum In-Ear isn't as balanced as the rest of the Momentum headphones, but some people may like that.
Despite a couple of small flaws, the Monster iSport Victory offers a great fit, is water-resistant, and one of the better sounding in-ear sports headphones out there.
While the Beyerdynamic DX160 iE has some small downsides, it's a bona fide audiophile in-ear headphone at an invitingly affordable price.
If you're looking for comfortable in-ear headphones with very plump bass, the Klipsch R6i model will do it, but they're also short on detail and clarity.
While the ErgoFit RP-TCM125 doesn't sound as good as the cheaper RP-HJE120, it still sounds respectable for its budget price tag and includes a one-button inline/remote microphone.
If you're looking for a $150-$250 on-ear headphone, the well-built V-Moda XS should be on your short list.
The JLab Epics may look a little cheap, but they offer a comfortable, secure fit, and sound richer than their design would indicate.
The $129.95 FreeStyle, which comes in two eye-catching colors, is a re-branded version of Bose's existing ultracomfortable earbud-style headphones.
If you're after more exciting headphone with forward sound and lots of bass, the Momentum In-Ear could be an appealing choice.

For certain tasks at work related to customer email, we found that real-time email processing had some clear advantages over an intermittent scheduled task using CFPOP. For instance, it's great if emails are forwarded immediately instead of only when the scheduled task is run. The same goes for autoresponses. Also, there are quite a few problems with CFPOP-- if the POP account gets locked or has too many emails, the CFPOP task could time out before processing all of the messages.
If you ever need to process raw emails directly in ColdFusion instead of retrieving them via CFPOP, you should consider using EmailParse.CFC. It offers the ability to take a raw email in text format, parse it into headers, body parts, and attachments, and to forward it on to another address. There's even a function for trying to determine whether the message is a hard bounce, soft bounce, out-of-office reply, or an unknown type. Requires ColdFusion 7.
The CFC is called like so (replace the variable names in brackets with your own appropriate values):
<!--- Parse the email ---> <cfset email = CreateObject('component', 'emailParse').init('[full email source]') /> <!--- If the email is a bounce ---> <cfif email.getMeaning() eq 'Hard bounce' or email.getMeaning() eq 'Soft bounce'> <!--- Perhaps track bounces in your database ---> <cfelse><!--- Else the email isn't a bounce ---> <!--- Forward it on to the person who needs it ---> <cfset email.forward('firstname.lastname@example.com') /> <!--- Send an autoresponse back to the sender ---> <cfmail subject="[Autoresponse] #email.subject#" to="#email.from#" from="firstname.lastname@example.com" >Thanks for contacting our support department...</cfmail> </cfif>

The problem with the vendor idea is that it IS directly selling gold in that case. The main argument people have used that this -isn't- is that it is not actually generating new gold into the economy of a server, simply switching it around, from one player to another. A vendor, however, CREATES gold and if you could guarantee even a couple thousand gold for ten dollars, that would make things even worse. Many have wanted a gold sink for this expansion, as there is little to spend a lot of money on unless you do buy the BOE epics. I, myself, have near 100k gold without even actually ever trying for it. It's just amassed through doing dailies, quests, and occasionally selling volatiles. I've even bought a pricey BOE weapon for my druid since I kept being unlucky. That knocked me down a bit, but I'm back to 95k again around a month later... and I've barely played this month besides the horseman. Things are selling for 25k because people don't know what to do with their gold otherwise. But that doesn't mean it's healthy for the economy.

This is an amazing story. In short, Andrea Pearson, Mission Viejo Elementary school principal in Colorado sent a letter home with students that informed the parents of an after school tutoring program for students of color only – no white kids allowed. (As I point out in the title, the principal is black.) This created an uproar so much so that the school district is now overriding the principal and trying to correct the matter. As for Pearson, it doesn't suggest anything about his job status, something I think should at least be in question.
Oh I can't wait to hear what Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have to say about this. A principal segregating based on skin color? Is this not against everything they stand for? Oh wait, it actually isn't against everything they stand for. The principal would have to be white and the victims would have to be black kids for this to cause them to care.

Rumor: Kim Jong Un Assassinated Early Friday Morning
However February 16th would have been Kim Jong Il's seventieth birthday so the improved amount of automobiles at the North Korean embassy probably related to some kind of ceremony.
North Korea is a country in practically total isolation so confirming reports out of the country is hard.

I too love that they want us to shift more! I've been playing feral since Vanilla and I've saved many a raid due to my flexibility. There have been fights where I've melee dps'd, tanked, healed and brought some one back to life in the space of a single encounter. I've really missed having that kind of utility the last couple of expansions. Leveling in Wrath my friend accused me of having MPD as I was frequently back and forth between forms to simplify our questing. Of course by the time we hit raiding in Wrath it was no longer a viable option. Sad kitty.

Section 43(3)
General tests/principles
General - The contention that 'plant' for the purpose of computation of depreciation allowable under the Income-tax Act should be taken to mean the entire organisation or unit as a whole comprising all the apparatus installed therein which are necessary for its function, cannot be accepted - CIT v. Kiran Crimpers [1997] 225 ITR 84/94 Taxman 502 (Guj.).
In the process of application of the statutory provisions of section 43(3), the expression 'unless the context otherwise requires' cannot be ignored; it is only when the context does not require otherwise that said definition or meaning under section 43(3) could be resorted so - CIT v. Travancore Mats & Mattings Co. [1997] 92 Taxman 10 (Ker.).
Plant means something which is required for the purpose of carrying on business/enterprise. Plant must be something which is used by the assessee in aid of the object or purpose of the business. It is not only the means of processing the end-product, but it includes the entire operation undertaken for the purpose of obtaining the end-product - CIT v. Birla Jute & Industries Ltd. [2003] 260 ITR 55/133 Taxman 337 (Cal.).
Definition is very wide - The definition of 'plant' embraces within its fold subjects and matters so diverse as a ship sailing on the high seas on the one hand, a book used whether by a lawyer or an architect on the other, and a surgeon's scalpel on the third. It is obvious that there is absolutely no generic affinity between the items chosen for inclusion in the definition provided by the Legislature to the term 'plant'. The diversity of the subjects chosen and the marked extremities to which the definition has extended itself makes the legislative intent much too clear and audible to need any emphasis, namely, that it has given the term 'plant' the widest meaning possible, of course, constantly keeping in view the fact that whatever the meaning and howsoever wide its sweep, the term 'plant' would not include the stock-in-trade of the businessman nor would it include the place in which the business is carried on - Pathange Poultry Farm v. CIT [1994] 210 ITR 668 (Kar.).
The concept of a plant is a very wide concept and would take within its sweep any equipment or article that is required for a particular purpose. In the context of business, therefore, a plant would mean any equipment or article necessary for the purpose of that business. This result emerges from the plain meaning of the word 'plant' and it is not necessary to expand the meaning of that word by reference to things analogous to those included specifically in the definition of 'plant' in section 43(3) - CIT v. Saurashtra Bottling (P.) Ltd. [1998] 232 ITR 270 (Guj.).
'Plant' can cover a narrow field only - According to the plain dictionary meaning in its widest connotation in the context of trade or business, the expression 'plant' may sometimes mean the factory itself as one composite unit including all buildings, machinery and apparatus therein which are required for the purposes of the factory. Obviously, the term 'plant' has not been used under section 32 of the Act or, for that matter, under the Rules framed thereunder in that wide meaning. The very fact that four different terms have been used, namely, building, machinery, plant and furniture, the term 'plant' has been used in a narrow sense to mean that it includes whatever apparatus is used by a person carrying on his business which is not his a stock-in-trade which he buys or makes or sells and which may not fall in the category of the building, machinery or the furniture as such - CIT v. Kiran Crimpers [1997] 225 ITR 84/94 Taxman 502 (Guj.).
Test for determining whether an item is 'plant' - The word 'plant' in its ordinary meaning is a word of wide import and it must be broadly construed having regard to the fact that articles like books and surgical instruments are expressly included in the definition of plant in section 43(3). It includes any articles or object, fixed or movable, live or dead, used by a businessman for carrying on his business. It is not necessarily confined to an apparatus which is used for mechanical operations or processes or is employed in mechanical or industrial business. It would not, however, cover the stock-in-trade, i.e., goods bought or made for sale by a businessman. It would also not include an article which is merely a part of the premises in which the business is carried on. An article to qualify as 'plant' must furthermore have some degree of durability and that which is quickly consumed or worn out in the course of a few operations or within a short time cannot properly be called plant. But an article would not be any the less plant because it is small in size or cheap in value or a large quantity thereof is consumed while being employed in carrying on the business. In the ultimate analysis the inquiry which must be made is as to what operation the apparatus performs in the assessee's business. The relevant test to be applied is : Does it fulfil the function of plant in the assessee's trading activity ? Is it the tool of the taxpayer's trade ? If it is, then it is 'plant', no matter that it is not very long-lasting or does not contain working parts such as a machine does and plays a merely passive role in the accomplishment of the trading purpose - CIT v. Mcgaw Ravindra Laboratories (India) Ltd. [1981] 132 ITR 401 (Guj.)/Panipat Co-operative Sugar Mills Ltd. v. CIT [1981] 129 ITR 73 (Punj. & Har.).
Tool of trade v. Setting in which trade is carried on - The Act has defined 'plant' in an inclusive manner and the Courts have held that, conceptually speaking, anything that is a tool of the trade is 'plant'. For example, in the case of a lawyer, law books are the tools of his trade and it is for this purpose that books are included in the inclusive definition of the term 'plant'. But one thing is clear, that the term 'tool of trade' signifies close and direct connection between the tool and the assessee's trade, i.e., a plant must be employed directly in the manufacture or production of goods, etc. The Courts have also made a significant a distinction between tools of trade and the setting in which the trade is conducted. If a particular item can properly be called a tool of trade, then it is a 'plant'. On the contrary, a particular item, even though called 'plant' in common parlance, will not be 'plant' if it is just a part of the setting in which the trade is conducted. For example, an air-conditioner installed in the office premises of an assessee cannot be called a 'plant', but an air-conditioner which is indispensable for the manufacturing process (like manufacture of machines), becomes the tool of the assessee's trade and can properly be regarded as a 'plant' - CIT v. Technico Enterprise (P.) Ltd. [1994] 206 ITR 36 (Cal.).
Functional test v. Premises test - An item would not qualify to be 'plant' even if it satisfies the 'functional test', if on application of 'premises test' it is found to be used as or part of the premises or place upon which the business was conducted - Siemens India Ltd. v. CIT [1995] 81 Taxman 122 (Bom.).
Judicial principles - The following principles emerge from the various decisions and the provisions of the Income-tax Act :
1. The definition of 'plant' in section 43(3) should be given a wide meaning as it is an inclusive definition.
2. All buildings are not 'plant' despite the dictionary meaning which includes buildings; but a building or structure is not per se to be excluded from the ambit of the expression 'plant'.
3. If the concrete construction or building is used as the premises or setting in which the business is carried on in contradistinction to the fulfilling of the function of the plant, the building or construction or part thereof is not considered a plant. The true test is whether it is the 'means of carrying on the business' or 'the location' for so doing.
4. In order for a building or concrete structure to qualify for inclusion in the term 'plant', it must be established that it is impossible for the equipment to function without the particular type of structure.
5. The particular apparatus or item must be used for carrying on the assessee's business and must not be his stock-in-trade - R.C. Chemical Industries v. CIT [1982] 134 ITR 330 (Delhi). See also CIT v. Lake Palace Hotels & Motels Pvt. Ltd. [1996] 130 CTR (Raj.) 585.
Situs will decide whether roads are 'plant' - No hard and fast rule can be laid down that every road is a 'plant' or all roads constitute 'building'. It depends upon the particular situation of the roads, the use to which they are put and in particular, whether they are an integral part of the factory by which the business is carried on - CIT v. Coromandel Fertilisers Ltd. [1985] 156 ITR 283 (AP).
Functional test must be applied - If the building or structure or part thereof is such by which the business activities are carried on then it would amount to plant but where the structure plays no part in carrying on the business activities and is used as a space for carrying on the business, it will fall within the category of a building and then it cannot be called plant. The functional test to be applied is whether a structure is used for carrying on the business and hence a tool of the trade or whether it is only the place of business in which the business is carried on - CIT v. R.G. Ispat Ltd. [1995] 82 Taxman 488/[1994] 210 ITR 1018 (Raj.).
Where a manufacturer of medicines and drugs constructed a building, and it was factually found that the building was completely used for the manufacture of medicines and not for any other activity, the building must be treated as a 'plant' - Dy. CIT v. Astra-IDL Ltd. [2001] 247 ITR 564 (Kar.).
Building specifically designed and constructed for assessee's flour mill is to be treated as 'plant' - When the assessee with a definite purpose, considering the nature of business carried on by the assessee, constructs a building with specific required design keeping in view the specified technical requirement, without which the assessee's business cannot be carried on, the building in question would qualify to be treated as plant.
Thus, where the report of the architect specifically mentioned that the mill building was designed in such a manner that it held the entire plant and machinery and beams and columns were erected to hold the entire load of plant and machinery on each floor, the building in question was an integral part of the plant being necessary for the purpose of manufacture of atta and maida, a business carried on by the assessee. Thus, the building in question was 'plant' - Nowrangroy Metals (P.) Ltd. v. Jt. CIT [2003] 262 ITR 231/[2004] 134 Taxman 460 (Gauhati).
Poultry shed is a 'building' and not 'plant' - A poultry shed cannot be considered as an apparatus or tool for running the poultry business. It is merely a shelter or home or setting in which the business is carried on. It cannot be termed as 'plant' but would fall under the term 'buildings' - CIT v. Shivalik Poultries [2005] 274 ITR 529/146 Taxman 449 (Punj. & Har.).
Power generating station is a 'plant' - Where it is found as a fact that a building has been so planned and constructed as to serve special technical requirements, it will qualify to be treated as 'plant'. Where there was a finding by the Tribunal that the assessee's generating station building was so constructed as to be an integral part of its generating system, the building must be held to be a 'plant'. [Observations in Anand Theatre's case held as applicable to hotels and cinema theatres] - CIT v. Karnataka Power Corporation [2001] 247 ITR 268 (SC).
Hotel/Cinema Theatres
Building in which hotel or cinema business is carried on is not a plant - For a building used as a hotel, there is a specific provision for granting depreciation allowance at specified rates depending upon fulfilment of the conditions mentioned therein. Hence there is no question of referring to the dictionary meaning of the word 'plant' which may or may not include building for arriving at a conclusion that building which is specifically designed and constructed as a hotel building would be a 'plant'. Even though the word 'plant' may include building or structure in certain set of circumstances, to say that building used for running the business of hotel or cinema would be 'plant' under the Act appears, on the face of it, to be inconsistent with the legislative scheme under section 32. Such wider meaning cannot be given, and plant would not include building in which hotel business is run or a theatre building in which cinema business is carried on. For running almost all industries or for carrying on any trade or business, building is required. On occasions a building may be designed and constructed to suit the requirement of a particular industry, trade or business. But that would not make such building a plant. It only shelters running of such business. If the contention that a building could be treated as 'plant' in certain situations, virtually all such buildings would be considered to be a plant and the distinction which the Legislature has made between 'building' and 'machinery' or 'plant' would be obliterated - CIT v. Anand Theatres [2000] 110 Taxman 338/244 ITR 192 (SC)/CIT v. Abad Hotels India (P.) Ltd. [2001] 119 Taxman 429 (SC)/CIT v. Raiban & Sons [2001] 119 Taxman 1029 (SC).
Other items
Storage items in factory are plant - Bins, racks and shelves admittedly kept in the workshop of the factory and used for storage of tools, are 'plant' - Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. v. CIT [1994] 119 CTR (Kar.) 391.
Wall clock is not an 'office appliance' - A wall clock being of general utility, cannot be described as an office appliance. Wall clocks installed in the factory premises must be treated as 'plant', being tools of the assessee's manufacturing trade - CIT v. SLM Maneklal Industries Ltd. [1994] 205 ITR 547 (Guj.).
Technical know-how is 'plant' - Technical know-how in the form of drawings, designs, charts, plans etc. is plant - Scientific Engineering House (P.) Ltd. v. CIT [1986] 157 ITR 86 (SC)/CIT v. Ahmad Hussain Dildar Hussain [1997] 142 CTR (All.) 375.
Nursing Home - Where the findings of the Tribunal and the High Court disclosed that the nursing home run by the assessee was specially equipped for surgical purposes, the ultimate finding of the High Court that the building was eligible to be treated as 'plant' for purposes of allowing depreciation had to be accepted - CIT v. Dr. B. Venkata Rao [2000] 111 Taxman 635/243 ITR 81 (SC).
Other items held to be 'plant' – Drawings and patterns to be used in the manufacture of goods - CIT v. Elecon Engg. Co. Ltd. [1987] 166 ITR 66 (SC)/CIT v. W.S. Insulators of India Ltd. [2000] 243 ITR 348 (Mad.)

The singer/songwriter Joshua James
On days like today, I have to keep it together even if what I really want to do is just gush about an artist. One of my favorite singer/songwriters is returning to San Diego. His name is Joshua James, and to me, he's one of the best musicians I've experienced live. Last year when he performed, the band blew a fuse and continued performing, lit only by mobile phones until the power was restored. Sunday's performance is a matinee, so even if they blow a fuse, there might be light. Every performance has seen his audience grow and agree that he's not to be missed. The show will be over early enough to get to the Casbah if you're a ticketholder to the sold-out performance by the Silent Comedy. What a perfect Sunday double-header.

Beyond Babel Free On-line
For the first time since the series original broadcast on The Discovery Network, all four episodes of Beyond Babel may now be viewed in their entirety on-line.
To watch them now, follow these links Trade, Culture, Politics and The Future.
The DVD edition which includes numerous additional sequences, along with subtitles in Arabic, Russian, Spanish and Chinese, is still available for purchase from our on-line shop.
English Speaking Union
The English Speaking Union has become the principal distributor of Beyond Babel on DVD. The organisation, which was established for 'the mutual advancement of education of the English-speaking peoples of the world' will be using the DVD's as part of their education programme. This follows on from the earlier adoption of Babel by the British Council and reflects the importance of the series as the only documentary series to examine the globalisation of English. Purchase of the series on DVD will still be possible from this website and we will shortly be rolling out a VOD service.
Crystal Clear Spelling
David Crystal's latest work, Spell It Out: The Singular Story of English Spelling delves into the fascinating story of how English came to have such idiosyncratic spelling. The books traces the development of the language through its various historical influences and for the first time offers a coherent account of why English spelling can prove challenging even for native speakers. David has written a brief overview for the Guardian newspaper and the book is reviewed by the same publication here. A brief audio interview with David is available on the BBC website. Highly recommended.
Babel for Academic Australia
Kanopy, the leading supplier of programming to Australian University Libraries has acquired Beyond Babel and will be making the series available for direct streaming or purchase on DVD. This reflects the series continuing use by universities in Europe, the Middle East, US and Asia Pacific regions. Beyond Babel remains the only series to offer a comprehensive examination of the global spread of English and its supporting material (freely available from this website) has ensured its value as a teaching resource.
The Life of Slang
Following the heated debate on pernicious versus beneficial effects of slang, a fascinating new book The Life of Slang, by Julie Coleman Professor of English Language at the University of Leicester, offers a timely insight into its ever presence throughout the history of the language. As well as unpicking the surprising antiquity of some contemporary slang, she also clarifies the role it plays in social differentiation between the users and society at large. This use of slang to establish discrete group identities, goes a long way to explaining the anger it manages to provoke among those self-appointed defenders of the integrity of English. Slang is decisive in its nature uniting one group to the exclusion of another, but its pretty clear that after centuries of recorded use it has yet to undermine or destroy English.

Item description
Sparkling memento recalls the Montreal Canadiens' first of a record five straight Stanley Cup titles and was done up in similar fashion to the career tribute rings which former Hab greats received long after their careers were over. The dazzling ring features a raised miniature gold Cup on the white gold tableau into which 22 diamonds are set. "Montreal" is above and "Canadiens" below, while four diamonds are at each side. An image of the original Forum is on one shank with "1955-56" engraved on a banner above. "Coupe Stanley Cup Champions" is above the banner. The opposite shank features a nice enameled Canadiens logo with "J. Plante" and his number "1" also included. Recently produced in 10-karat gold by Josten's with all proper markings on the interior of the band, the size 10 1/2 masterpiece is in pristine condition. Great reminder of that awesome '55-56 season which saw the Habs post their first ever 100-point season and Jacques Plante win his first of five straight Vezina trophies. The Habs allowed just 131 goals during the regular season, the fewest allowed by any NHL team during the second half of the 20th century! A letter of authenticity from the Plante family will accompany this wonderful memento.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) – Wausau Area Event's new executive director says she's ready to hit the ground running in her new role.
Kari Rasmussen accepted the position at a meeting of the Main Street Wausau and Wausau Area Events boards earlier this week. She previously had been the events coordinator. The new position is a split from it's previous role as both the director of the River District and Wausau Area Events.
River District president Joe Mella says the position used to be held by Leah Alters, but it was determined late last year that having one person running both organizations was too much to ask of one person.
Both boards made the decision to change the structure last year, and were prepared to offer Rasmussen the job of Wausau Area Events director and Alters the directorship of the Main Street. Alters left the position to take up leadership of the Columbus Art Festival in Ohio. That job has now been posted for applications.
Rasmussen says her first goal will be to improve the involvement of the community in how the events are run, as well as helping get the group ready for the construction on 3rd street scheduled for this spring.

Patterson Irrigator
Downtown Patterson's North Park shade structures and concession area is getting a much needed facelift, and just in time for the annual Apricot Fiesta celebration.
Patterson's Public Works crew could be seen toiling away this week as they began the process of an extensive cleanup routine, including an all-encompassed pressure washing, a thorough cleaning of the restrooms, and a repainting of the existing structures, canopies, and barbecue pit.
Fencing went up Thursday, May 8, to protect the area during the cleanup process, as many homeless took refuge there shortly after being exiled by local authorities from the oleanders near Highway 33. The temporary fencing has fixed the homeless concern that many residents face in wishing to utilize the park— at least for the time being.
"We want to discourage folks from spending the night in the park," City Manager Rod Butler said, adding that a stronger enforcement of the City's municipal code regarding sleeping in the park will commence following the weekend of the Apricot Fiesta.
Many of those who previously called the North Park shade structures their home have since taken their presence across East Las Palmas Avenue to South Park, or Veterans Park, while the cleanup takes place.
Longtime Patterson inhabitant and current homeless Albert De Leon, said he plans to re-occupy North Park once the annual Fiesta is over, regardless of the City's intention.
"Hell yeah I plan on going back over there just to spite them," De Leon said Monday, May 12, from a blanket in South Park, where groups of transients can be seen most any time of the day. "Jesus was homeless, too; we're not doing anything wrong. We're looking for work every day; we're not trying to support our drug habits, and we kept it clean over there."
Regardless of any efforts by the homeless to keep the North Park shade structure clean, evidence of their presence could still be witnessed by the stench of urine that wafted in the air during Monday morning's pressure washing.
"We had to wash all kinds of [human feces] from the cracks of the cement," public works employee Virgil Meyers explained while pruning some of the park trees. "They were basically using the trash cans as their storage units."
Building Maintenance and Urban Forestry crews of the Public Works Department used bleach in the pressure washing unit to help sanitize the area, while trash that accumulated in the Lions Club's barbecue pit was collected and burned at one end of the pit.
"There were all sorts of things in that fire pit, nothing that you would want to be involved with, so we threw some logs in there and poured some diesel over it and burned it all," Meyers said.
Butler said he is aware that it will take the efforts of the community to help solve the problem in keeping the homeless from occupying North Park's structures.
"We'll be working with H.O.S.T., the City, Trust in Jesus Cuisine, and other current service providing agencies to get folks services and relocated," he said.
Recent efforts to help the homeless through community service organizations such as Helping Others Sleep Tonight (H.O.S.T.) and Trust in Jesus Cuisine have also been thwarted.
H.O.S.T. house organizers were unable to secure important grant funding needed to keep their recently remodeled location at the former Foothill Manor on South Fourth Street open, despite an overwhelming amount of support for the structure.
Kurt Gross, project manager for H.O.S.T. said he didn't believe the closing to be permanent, and is still optimistic about gaining funds in the future.
However, threats of physical abuse towards volunteers of the Trust in Jesus Cuisine, who have voluntarily fed the needy from under North Park's shade structures for the past 11 years, have discouraged many from volunteering their services to the homeless or providing meals, said an anonymous source.
Trust in Jesus Cuisine organizers did not wish to comment on the matter, but have stopped serving hot meals in North Park for the time being. Patterson's homeless aren't going hungry yet though, as bagged lunches are now making their way to the needy, now gathered near the horse shoe pits and in the shaded areas of Veterans Park while cleanup work continues in North Park.
City of Patterson Building Maintenance and Urban Forestry Crews made their presence known Monday morning once they began using the pressure washer and paint sprayers for the old park structure's facelift. The uniformed cleanup is expected to be finished a couple of days before the annual Apricot Fiesta. The fencing will come down, leaving the safety and future of the parks' concessions area in the hands of the community at large.
When finished, the parks shade structures, like the others in the city, can be reserved for $75 for private events. With North Park's concession stand, equipped with electrical and water utility connections, an extra $20 for water and $20 for electrical is added on for a total of $115.

Special Delivery: Tiny Mailbox Valentines
Valentine's Day has always been a special holiday around here. It was my great-grandmother's absolute favorite, and in her memory we continue a time honored tradition of doing something just a little bit special.
This year I scored tiny mailboxes and personalized them with my children's names. I then stuffed them with one thing to eat, one thing to make, and one thing to use (that mushroom is a pencil sharpener that we actually need). They're also going to get a little love note inside. But shh! Don't tell, these little treats are going to be in hiding for two weeks. At a total cost of $7 per box (courtesy Tarjay), I could have done worse.
Do you do anything special for Valentine's Day, or do you revile it as a Hallmark holiday designed to throw money away? Do you bake, or give cards to classmates? What do you think is most appreciated?

I've never really done much for the kids, other than doing a craft at the beginning of the month that would hang until the holiday and maybe cookies for the day. This year is the first my son will spend it at school, so I'm thrilled to have him hand out cards to his classmates. (I'm totally that mom--he handed stuff out for Halloween and Christmas, too.)
I've been wanting to get some of those mailboxes for my kids, but not really for Valentine's, more like to put up in their room to leave random notes and treats every once in a while. I know my son will get a kick out of that, and probably the baby will catch on. Good idea with the Valentine's treats!
Heh, just bought the same mailbox (in white) from Target, and I'm going to be filling it with a card and some Hershey kisses. It was on sale at our local store for $3.00, so now might be the time to look if you're interested.
Last year me and my daughter made the little conversation heart cheesecakes from Hungry Happenings' website: www.hungryhappenings.com . I try and do a craft each year with the kids, or maybe make something special.
Any holiday whose purpose is to show people that you care about them is a winner in my book. My husband once make a snarky comment about the commercialization of the holiday and my reply was the same I give everyone who complains: "You don't have to buy anything for Valentine's Day to show someone you love them. You are excused from the holiday if you have done something sweet and special for your significant other on any other day of the year. Changing the oil in a car does not count unless it is accompanied by a kiss. A good kiss."
Don't have a sweetie? Stop thinking of it as a heavy-duty romantic holiday and send lighthearted Valentine cards to family members or friends. Anonymous is always fun. Last year someone put up cardboard signs at a major intersection near where I worked that looked like large conversation hearts. Who could resist large pink signs that anonymously announced "I heart U" and "U R fab"? They made me feel so good, I just know they were meant for me. I'm sure everyone else felt the same way.

The rape scandal in Steubenville, Ohio is prompting a lot of soul-searching for parents. Well, I hope it is, anyway. It's definitely given me a lot to think about. I doubt any mother of a little boy wants to believe her child could grow up to rape anyone -- or even witness a rape without reporting it. No one wants their son to one of the boys who uploads video of a rape, or posts slut-shaping photos, or anything like that.
But kids are doing just that. So what do we do? How do we talk with our kids -- especially our sons -- about cyberbullying, slut-shaming, and treating women with respect? I've been looking around, and I've found some resources that can help parents raise more compassionate, ethical boys.
Common Sense Media, which is a great resource for parents on all kinds of media-related topics, has a page of articles and videos about cyberbullying.
Positive Parenting Solutions has some very thoughtful suggestions for talking with your kids about cyberbullying.
MomLogic has an interesting article that spells out different kinds of cyberbullying. Maybe your kids are engaging in it without really knowing it?
I found fewer resources on how to teach your son respect for women, sadly. My own opinion is that boys need to be taught to respect all women and girls without judgement. Who is "deserving" of respect shouldn't even matter. EVERYONE deserves respect, no matter how much they drink, or how they dress, or who they date, or what they do with other boys.
eHow actually has some suggestions for teaching your sons to respect women.
RespectWomen.ca (a Canadian online resource for preventing violence against women) has a list of tips for teaching your kids to respect women that starts with very young children at a very basic level.
Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys doesn't address violence against women or cyberbullying specifically, but it's my favorite go-to for understanding how to raise a boy who is confident and empathetic.
Radio Rookies, a radio program with stories by teens, produced a thought-provoking story about sexual cyberbullying. It doesn't give parents tips, but it's still VERY illuminating. Hear what teens are dealing with in their own voices.
Have you thought much about talking with your kids about sexual cyberbullying?

Thank you, Sarah! I have heard WAY more disrespect, experienced way more disrespect from girls and women than I EVER have from boys and men.
We teach people how to treat us. Women teach men, by the way they act and speak, how to treat women. So when you have women saying, "I'm going to dress like a slut and call other women 'slut' and laugh about it," we're telling men that we're sluts and it's ok. When we regularly refer to each other as "bitch", we tell men it's ok to call us a bitch. And when we go to parties and get so fundamentally out of control and blind drunk that we cannot stand up, we're teaching men that we have no respect for ourselves. And if we don't treat ourselves with respect, why should they respect us?
Does that mean that it's ok for men to rape women? No. They bear responsibility, as well. But to write a piece like this, to have the attitude that if only MEN would fix their attitude is to completely skew the argument and place blame away from where it belongs.

So, the sweetheart jamanddogtags followed me today, which entirely reminded me that I NEVER put up the pictures of the stuff that I got from the craft swap. Now I feel like a horrible person for not uploading it!
Anyway, I love everything that I got, and I feel bad, because my stuff doesn't even compare, haha. BUT YANNO. I lack the creative abilities of most.
Like I said, I love everything that I got.
I got this awesomely badass notebook! It has little snippets of pictures and art and stuff (it's currently my summer journal, which is documenting all of my summer. :D I also got some candy, tea, soap, nail polish (which were all marked as evidence…haha)..I got these cute lil' buttons which are on my bag, and some stickers! I have yet to figure out what I'm doing with the Sherlocked and Sherlock ones…but the Union Flag heart is on the back of my laptop :)
And a SHERLOCK SCARF OMGGG. I can't wait to wear it!
Also a magnifying glass (which is a blast to use!), and a cute lil box with pencils and and IOU eraser and esogndfon
I adore the "Suddenly, I'm Mr. Sex" pin that I got. It has a little test tube vial, crown, IOU apple…it's adorable. My camera won't focus on it for some reason. >:T
Anyway, I loved the swap, and I'd love to do it again, but I'll try even harder! :D

Although casting rumors have been scarce since the season 17 finale that saw "Glee" actress Amber Riley and Emmy winner Derek Hough claim the coveted mirror ball trophy, "Dancing with the Stars" 2014 will premiere March 17 on ABC, according to a Jan. 17 network press release.
Per the announcement, 12 news celebrity/professional pairs will take to the famed "DWTS" ballroom in hopes of becoming the season 18 champions. Although the cast has yet to be named and the professionals haven't yet confirmed their respective returns, the other players will remain the same, with Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke-Charvet acting as hosts, and Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba seated at the judges' table.
The release also confirms that producers will stick with the slimmed down, single night version of the series that debuted during season 17. ABC President Paul Lee justified the decision to not resurrect the Tuesday night results show during the Television Critics Association press tour on Jan. 17, explaining that the new schedule "opened up Tuesdays for us."
The premiere of "Dancing with the Stars" 2014 will air March 17 from 8 to 10 p.m. Eastern on ABC.

5 Huge Stocks Ready to Rocket Higher in April
IT behemoth IBM (IBM) is having a good year in 2013. Shares of "Big Blue" have climbed more than 11.3% since the first trading day in January, even besting the impressive performance of the S&P over the same period. IBM builds mainframes, designs software and provides IT services to corporate clients across more than 170 countries.
>>3 Huge Stocks to Trade (or Not)IBM led the charge for PC makers to switch their focus to enterprise IT back in 2005, selling off its consumer PC business to Lenovo and replacing it with a lucrative set of efforts that includes services that earn mammoth operating profits. Since then, almost every major PC-maker has followed suit, de-emphasizing their increasingly commoditized computer operations in favor of the growth potential of enterprise IT. By becoming a go-to resource for clients, IBM ensures a sticky, (largely recurring) revenue stream. That's enviable positioning, especially given that other computer makers are scrambling to play catch up eight years later. Financially, IBM is a high performer. The firm earns double-digit net profit margins for its efforts, and it's used that cash to generate one of the heftiest shareholder yields in the tech sector. Last year, IBM returns more than $16 billion to investors in the form of dividends and share buybacks. This week, we're betting on shares of this Rocket Stock name.

The greenbelt designation is created by local authorities as part of their Unitary Development Plan/Local Development Framework. They should be able to provide you with information showing where the greenbelt is in your area.

A lot of people come up to me after presentations and ask what sort of hardware I use. Im a big AMD fan - I have an HP nx6125 laptop which is AMD 64 bit powered and for ages Ive had a small server in an Antec NSK1300 case that I take around with me too. I even take it onboard the plane as carry-on luggage :) I use it to run virtual machines because frankly laptops suck in performance compared to desktop units. It had an AMD 64 bit 3400+ Socket 754 proc in there and 2GB RAM...till today!
AMD renovated it with new goodies. It now has an AMD X2 4200+ AM2 proc in there! Yes I needed to get a new motherboard but thats a good one too. I got a Gigabyte Micro-ATX board to suit and the best thing is that it has an onboard NVidia Geforce 6100 video card and support for a huge 16GB of main memory!! Ive got it spec'd out with 4GB of DDR2 memory and it whips along! Wanna see inside? Ok then :)
I will be taking it to TechEd Australia and NZ with me and will be demoing off that. Come and check it out!
Well I'm here safe and sound at TechED here in New Zealand.  So far it's been really cool. ...

CROWN POINT | The late Mary Bickford was a concert harpist with the Wichita Symphony Orchestra in Kansas.
When Bickford began showing up at performances in strange clothing and mismatched shoes, her husband Don and daughter Judy, like so many others, were in denial, at first chalking her actions up to artistic quirkiness.
After Bickford was diagnosed with dementia, her family couldn't find a place in Kansas which met their standards of care for their mother.
"So they built it themselves," said Tony Ughetti, director of the Crown Point facility that bears Mary Bickford's name. "They opened their first facility in Kansas which was called Mary Bickford's Cottage."
Bickford of Crown Point Assisted Living and Memory Care at 140 E. 107th Ave. is No. 46 in that concept, Ughetti said.
"We are still trying to live every day as if we are treating her," he said. "Everybody is treated with that same level of family love that Mary's family would like her to be treated with. The centers were created to take care of their family but now they are going to take care of the families of Crown Point."
Mary Bickford's grandsons Andy, who is a former pro football player, Joe and Mike Eby now run the day-to-day company operations.
The $4.5 million Bickford of Crown Point facility is expected open Oct. 15 with about 45 employees. Position applications will be posted online mid- to late September.
The 33,000-square-foot facility has a showcase event scheduled from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday and is now open for tours, which can be arranged by calling (219) 663-0972.
Bickford has 58 private apartments including a 16-apartment memory support unit called "Mary B's Neighborhood." The memory care center will feature a wide variety of "cuetivities," which Ughetti said, are more than an activity.
"It is coaching or guiding a person with memory loss to where they are doing the activity," he said.
Bickford's mission, Ughetti said, is exemplified by the company's web address www.enrichinghappiness.com.
"That speaks for itself," Ughetti said. "We are constantly trying to find out what people's happiness point is. If you like cruises we would probably decorate your room with a porthole and books about island life, things of that nature that would make you feel very happy in your interest area."
"Mary Bickford used to say 'whatever it takes to make you happy,'" Ughetti said. "We are going to be constantly trying to find out what people enjoy doing and there is no dream too big."
Bickford is in a centralized prime Crown Point location just north of the Strack & Van Til plaza and within walking distance to the grocery store with a Centier branch inside, three restaurants, a Walgreens, a gift and card shop, a yogurt café, an ice cream shop, and a fitness center.
Ughetti said Bickford's grandsons chose Crown Point because of its strong community involvement and its close-knit, small town atmosphere.

Project Inspiration: Upholstered Headboards
We just recently DIY'd our own headboard after a major IKEA bed fail (it collapsed in the middle of the night, cracking completely in half, ugh!). With a quick trip to Lowe's with the measurements of our new (and cheap!) metal bed frame we got a perfectly cut piece of oak, white spray paint and bolts. Now we have a modern and sleek white headboard for $30. But of course, we can never be satisfied and have our eyes wandering to upholstered headboards.
We've been toying with the idea of upholstering the headboard and turned to the Apartment Therapy archives for some serious inspiration. Of course, we found some really great options that are providing a valid argument for wanting to take our DIY one step further.
We're huge suckers for the sexy and daring velvet headboards but still crave the modern rigidity of sleek and sophisticated fabric covered headboards. What do you think of upholstered headboards?

I love that first one!
I agree, I wish there was a bigger picture of it!
We made a DIY upholstered headboard. It wasn't that hard to make. I used the tutorial from the blog Southern Exposure.
Here's how it turned out!
Which Ikea bed did you have?
I recently made a headboard upholstered in charcoal gray felt. It's cozy, modern, and - at $4.99/yard - super cheap!
@leslie2000: follow the link to the diy on that mantle headboard for a bigger picture.
I just helped a friend make one similar to #3 but in cream leather. With all the materials it came out to around $150 for a king size.
I've been eyeing the Urban Outfitters one for a while, but I might end up just making my own... the first one is awesome too!
Pictures 1 and 2 are GORgeous!
I love them and created a different version of one with batting, foamcoar, fabric, & velcro. I'm a bit paranoid of stuff hanging over my bed or being attached to the bed itself so this option has worked nicely. Headboards can be yet another way to tie in the decor and/or color.

Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online.Artist and computer scientist Sergio Albiac will be making art after his death. His painting software, Stardust, has learnt to imitate his technique -- and incorporate data about his subjects' lives. He calls it "a meaningful artistic representation of the quantified self".For Stardust, Barcelona-based Albiac asked people to submit photos of themselves to his site, where they were turned into triptychs using images from the Hubble Space Telescope.For his new project he's developed an app that tracks user activity -- everything from tweets and texts to calories -- in a form he can use for portraits where "any kind of information can be transformed into a visual representation". "Let's say you were in Brighton," he explains. "I grab photos of Brighton from the cloud and use those. Or you record everything for a month, and I do a portrait of that month." The program chooses Albiac-like strokes that also represent data. He breaks that process down into stages -- what he calls "sensing, selecting, translating and executing" the data for an artwork. He wants the audience to do the sensing and selecting, and the generative system to do the transforming and executing. That opens up the possibility that the program could be making art that's attributed to him -- even when he's no longer around. "We don't have to share the same space, but all the components of creation are here -- my personal touch, your data, the program deciding how to transform it. It's not an Instagram filter."

Well it's nice to get some info, however these addons have been updated since this issue started so maybe the author isn't aware there is an issue.
And I already said I do NOT have any addons that disable buffs for me or even touch that part of the UI visually, it's the default Blizzard buff UI.
I also said at first I am allowed to dispell buffs with a certain addon enabled but at random while I'm playing the client suddenly says that Auctioneer is stopping me from dispelling buffs...Why does it freak out midgame, why not at the start?

Good review Magnus.
I've heard one song and I guess cyber metal is not something I would like.Digging: Hilltop Hoods - Walking Under Stars
Digging: Hilltop Hoods - Walking Under Stars
I've heard this and it's really good ofcourse, but 4.5? Maybe a 4. Still a good review, pos'd that shit.
Just listened to the song called Anathema. That is one of the most epic choruses I have ever heard. Definitely reminds me of Fear Factory, but I honestly think this is better!
Album Rating: 4.5I've heard this and it's really good ofcourse, but 4.5? Yup, like I said in my review, there are some minor faults here, especially concerning the production, but the compositions are excellent and the album definitely is something unique, so I felt comfortable adding a .5 to it.
I'm glad all of you enjoyed the review and yes, foxxy, if this would catch on I'd be thrilled as well.
I've heard this and it's really good ofcourse, but 4.5?
Album Rating: 5.0hevy devy needs to produce their next
I really dig the first paragraph in this review.
Album Rating: 4.5Glad you like it =). And as far as I know this album is self-produced so it's no wonder the production isn't perfect. I do hope they get some bigger names behind them though, as with a more accomplished production, these guys could really take off, and they do deserve that.
Mmmm this sounds interesting. Digging the space theme
If this is anything like their other two albums I know I'm gonna love itDigging: Interpol - El Pintor
Digging: Interpol - El Pintor
Congrats for the feature, I was hoping it would be either one of us that would end up writing up the review for this album. I'll submit mine in the near future though it'll be less glowing than yours. Also review is great aside from the few moments of pseudo-pretentiousness.
I've gave this a couple spins, still can't tell if I like it or not. I think it's the orchestral element, it might be a bit too much for me.
One of my favourite recent space related sounds is still mnemic - climbing towards the stars
It's not good
Reminds me of Xerath. The production is really bad, there's just no weight behind it.
Agree with the comments regarding production, it's terrible.. sibilant, thin and unaccurate sound.
Album Rating: 5.0unaccurate lol
Lots of promise...wasted on a whole lotta cheese
take notes, Wintersun.
Album Rating: 4.0i like this a good deal but i would love it if it was mixed better

Eugene, OR (SportsNetwork.com) - Joseph Young had 20 points and No. 17 Oregon defeated Utah Valley, 69-54, on Tuesday night.
Johnathan Loyd added 12 points to go along with five assists for the Ducks (3-0), who outrebounded the Wolverines by a 42-30 margin.
"I thought we'd be sharper," Oregon head coach Dana Altman said. "I thought their defense was playing us really soft. They just got us standing around. The ball movement was not good on the offensive end."
Mitch Bruneel and Hayes Garrity each netted 15 points for Utah Valley (2-2).
The Ducks led by just four at the break, but seized control of the contest with a 24-4 run to start the second half.
Young and Damyean Dotson each put in five points apiece during the surge, which was capped on Waverley Austin's layup for a 53-33 Oregon advantage midway through the stanza.
"They got aggressive on offense and we weren't able to sustain enough to stay with them," Wolverines head coach Dick Hunsaker said.
The Ducks led by as many as 23 down the stretch.
Young put in seven quick points as Oregon raced out to an early 20-4 spread, but Utah Valley closed the half on a 12-2 run to whittle the deficit to 29-25 heading into the locker room.
Mike Moser had eight points and nine rebounds for the Ducks ... Oregon shot
41.3 percent (26-of-63) from the floor, while the Wolverines finished 37.9
percent (22-of-58) from the field.

Certification Testing
IntroductionEarning your ARICP certification is an important step in your career. Having these credentials assures your clients of your knowledge as well as your comitment to safety and integrity. Discounts with some of the country's leading insurance companies can also save you hundreds - or even thousands - of dollars.
How does the certification procedure work?ARIA certification is an important aspect of an instructor's career and requires that the candidate make it a priority. The certification process is accomplished by evaluating the instructor's qualifications by means of a unique and proprietary system of checks and balances which was developed by ARIA, and assures a totally fair evaluation for each candidate. The candidate's teaching ability is evaluated through written and oral testing, and, at Levels II and III, by a video/DVD submitted by the candidate. Instructors meeting the standards for a particular level will earn certification at that level. For example, if an instructor applies for Level 3, but tests come back showing Pass at Level 1 or 2, then that is the Level at which the instructor will be certified. ARIA offers certification to instructors at 3 levels and 15 teaching specialties. To ensure that ARIA Certified Instructors' standards remain high, re-certification is required 2 more times, at 5 year intervals. This also gives the instructor an opportunity to upgrade his/her level of certification and/or to add new teaching specialties. (Re-testing is always just $200. The original fee of $595. is paid only once - the first time an individual tests.)
Where is the certification testing held, and what is the fee?The testing is conducted at one-day ARIA Test Centers (PDF) held throughout the year at many different locations around the country. The fee is $595.00. When a group of at least 6 instructors at a single location desire ARIA Certification, special arrangements will be made for testing at their site. It is also possible to test individually by appointment at a date of your choice, in Bonita Springs, Florida, a lovely beach area close to Ft. Myers and Naples, on Florida's west coast. The fee for private testing is only an additional $200.
What are the advantages of being an ARIA Certified Instructor?ARIA Certified Instructors have nationally recognized credentials, and are eligible for significant insurance discounts through several major insurance companies. Their employment prospects are improved. ARIA Certified Instructors are listed in the ARIA Directory of Certified Riding Instructors and online: Find ARIA-Certified Instructors
ARIA Certified Instructors may also place free classified ads on the ARIA website. They also are members of ARIA and receive the quarterly magazine Riding Instructor.
How do I apply for Certification?Program size is limited, so it is important to apply early in order to assure yourself of a place. You should register at least 30 days in advance. Late registrations may be charged a surcharge for mailing materials overnight. You may register online or mail in a form or call 239-948-3232.
