Family name: Katō 「加藤」
Used for verb "increase", "join", "include", "add". It also defines the word "addition" and it's the kanji used for Canada.
For the reading on verbs is used the kunyomi reading, and it can be "kuwaeru" or "kuwaru".
For composing other words, it's often used the onyomi (Derivated from Chinese reading) "ka".
It has not nanori (exclusive for given names) readings.
Info about this kanji here.
It's the kanji for the wisteria flower. For refer to the flower it's read "fuji", as being its kunyomi reading. It's also used this pronunciation for "Fujiwara" family name (藤原) and other words related with purple or wisteria.
This kanji is also very common in some Japanese family names with the onyomi pronunciations "tō", or if softened, "dō".
Other family names using this kanji on pronunciation onyomi are Andō (安藤 for example Masahiro Andō, guitarrist and leader of Japanese jazz band T-SQUARE) and another way more common: Satō (左藤 like Takuma Satō, Japanese Indycar driver).
It has three nanori readings: "zou", "to" (NOT confuse with the onyomi readings, since the onyomi has long vocals) and "fuju".
Info about this kanji here.
Given name: Daijirō 「大治郎」
This kanji always means "big" or "large". Its onyomi readings are only two: "tai" and "dai". This second one is the used for "Daijirō".
For kunyomi, it's used "oo", and it's always used together with other words, or, for write "ookii" (大きい), the adjective word for "big". At nihongoresources, it's put other kunyomi reading that actually I don't know for what is used.
That's why Katō's nickname, "Dai-chan" it's always written: 大ちゃん. If you hear this word or you read these kanjis in any context of Japanese motorbike racing, surely they will be talking about Daijirō.
It has thirteen nanori readings.
Info about this kanji here.
This kanji has so many meanings regarding government, or peace.
With kunyomi readings, it's always used with verbs: "osameru" is "to govern". "osamaru" is "to be at peace". "naoru" is "to be cured" and similars regarding healing, and the same with "naosu".
As onyomi readings, uses the readings "chi" or "ji", and it's always used in composite with other kanjis. This kanji, in fact, it's the "ji" of "seiji" 「政治」, the Japanese word for "politics".
The name "Daijirō" in some people can use the writing 「大二郎」 (using one of the pronuncations of the kanji of "number two"), but this is not the reading used for Daijirō Katō. For him, the "ji" is the kanji 「治」.
This kanji has five nanori readings.
Info about this kanji here.
「郎」This means "son" and it's also the kanji used as a counter for count how many sons you have.
Normally, it has only one kunyomi reading, "otoko". But, normally are used the onyomi readings, "rō" and "ryō".
This kanji has six nanori readings.
Info about this kanji here.
As you could notice, all his name uses onyomi readings in all the kanjis. I apologize deeply for having put so technical info.
Please, be aware that in Japanese language, it's first read the family name and later the given name, and I respected this structure for this post.
Personally, I like very, very much the kanji of his given name, because they can be read as "son of a big reign".
For the consulting of kanji I used nihongoresources, a pretty decent website for consult Japanese words and has a great kanji dictionary with the writings, the radicals, trace numbers, and pronunciation, but they do not use romaji. It requers, therefore, to know the hiragana and katakana syllabaries.
See ya soon! :3
Call me amazingly bored and unbusy human being, but yeah, I did write this. XDDD
Spreading this just because of sharing the love. XD
This is an screenshot of something who sent me this on the inbox of my blog about Daijiro Kato.
I will write anyway to the person who did this, since the person left me her e-mail (who I decided to hide for keep the privacy of the person).
Janine, thank you very much. You don't even know how important is what you wrote for my blog about Kato. Thanks for make me feel that I'm not the only one who left in the world.
See, I truly know I am not the only one, since I know a lot of people who also remembers him, in FB or in twitter, and sometimes in Tumblr, against all the odds. But, stuff like this, remember that my efforts are not in vain.
Thanks for find my beloved blog. Thank you very much.
I am already doing a lot of myself now that it will be ten years since he left us, and also, sadly, ten years since I know about MotoGP. But now, with this… I will do even more of my best.
Thank you. Arigatou.
A fanart made for celebrate the 250cc title of Japanese rider Hiroshi Aoyama in 2009 year, last sesion ever for the 250cc, because the intermediate class would be now with 600cc and would be named Moto2.
This drawing was related with the three Japanese champions of 250cc class: Tetsuya Harada in 1993, Daijiro Kato in 2001 and Hiroshi Aoyama in 2009. In the image also appear ther other rivals for the 2009 title: The Spanish rider Álvaro Bautista and late Marco Simoncelli, from Italy.
Made by Ranka Fujiwara. And posted just because Ranka Fujiwara draws Daijiro Kato way better than the staff of the blog.
From my blog about Daijiro Kato.
Because Fujiwara draws Kato way better than me.
Speedyard's remembrance to one of our inspirations.
And now this is why I put that sentence in my new layout ;).
This was part of an interview made to several Japanese riders who were part of teams of Honda, in November 29th, 1999. Apart of Daijiro Kato, also took part of it riders like Tohru Ukawa, Shinichi Ito, and one of the Aoki's (Though I couldn't translate the name, so I don't know if it's Nobuatsu, Haruchika or another one). There was another rider, but I couldn't translate the name.
In the interview, apart of the questions of moderator, also in the end appeared some questions of some people, and among all of them, this:
大治郎: 「僕は、鈴鹿サーキットです。」
Translation (non so literal) to English:
Mr. E: Everybody, your favourite track and the reason.
Daijiro: For me, it's Suzuka Circuit.
The other riders answered another stuff. Ito said that he loves Sugo. Aoki said that he likes Motegi, and Ukawa talked about the Italian track of Imola.
It's very well known that Daijiro Kato loved Suzuka and it was his favourite track. Probably it has a lot to do with the great performances he had there, as shown when he used to ride as a wild-card rider ther in 1996, 1997 and 1998. He also won in Suzuka in 2000 and 2001 in the 250cc class.
But, also, it's also a great irony of the destiny, since what happened in Suzuka 2003.
Apologize me for my really, really bad translation.
Hay formas de decir que el destino es un bastardo, y está el hecho de que el circuito preferido de Daijiro Kato era Suzuka.

Small talk and 4 other traits introverts must improve upon
June 25, 2014 Leave a comment
When my colleagues are chatting away during lunch, I like to join their conversation which is usually about current affairs, television shows, or other topics extraverts seem to enjoy and master with ease.
I do my best to break into their banter, picking the right opportunity to voice my views. But at times choosing my words seems like work. I'm not unusual in this way–finding making small talk difficult–other introverts have expressed the same frustration.
Being comfortable making small talk is one trait I admire in extraverts. Other extravert traits I admire are:
Ability to promote themselves. Extraverts have the gift of gab, and we all know that verbal communications is more direct and timely than written communications. While I feel comfortable sending an e-mail to my manager about my accomplishments, extraverts would go directly to her office and talk about their accomplishments. This confidence they display I erroneously misconstrue for conceit.
Solution. Before approaching the manager to speak of their accomplishments, introverts should formulate what they're going to say. It may be helpful to write down some talking points on their accomplishments before approaching the manager. They should also remember to smile.
Ease of networking. Most extraverts will tell you they have no problem entering a room full of people and striking up a conversation. Most introverts will tell you this takes effort and is often uncomfortable, and some introverts will tell you they fear networking, both for professional and job-search purposes. Therefore they don't network.
Solution. Introverts should not network like extraverts. I tell my jobseekers that introverts can network; they just do it differently. Instead of working the room, they feel more comfortable in smaller groups and engaging in deeper conversation.
Boundless energy. Presenting in front of a group doesn't scare me. By most accounts I'm quite good at it. However, after conducting three workshops a day, my brain feels like mash potatoes. Extraverts, on the other hand, can talk till the sun goes down. Where extraverts may run into problems is not taking time to ask questions and listen to their attendees. Introverts are said to be better listeners. Still, it's nice to have the endurance to talk with people for eternity.
Solution. Introverts should take advantage of downtime to recharge their battery. I retreat to my cubicle where I can rest my mind and reflect on the next workshop to come. When colleagues approach me during my down time, I tell them I'm busy with important work…even if I'm not.
Conflict management. Well-known psychologist and author, Marti Olsen LaneyPsy.D, The Introvert Advantage: How to Thrive in an Extrovert World, asserts that introverts are not as strong at conflict resolution as extraverts are. She writes that introverts avoid conflict as much as possible, and I see her point.
Solution. In order to be good at conflict management, introverts must choose their battles and formulate their thoughts before jumping into the foray. When an answer to an accusation is called for, introverts should ask for time to think about their response. I feel this way when I'm asked to defend my actions.
My admiration for extraverts makes me think about how I can improve on the aforementioned strengths they possess. I've witnessed them in my extraverted colleagues and friends; as I've also witnessed introverts weaknesses. With some practice, introverts can improve upon their weaknesses, and extraverts can tone it down.

Howdy folks!
Had absolutely no idea what to call it! Just a workbench for drawing. And "plan" isn't a very good word either, the proportions of this drawing could be greatly improved upon! Anyhoo, I saw this on the show "Victorian Farm", used by a basketmaker - I think he specifically used it with a drawknife to smooth the wood he used for the rim (Hazel IIRC) and I thought it looked like a great design - perhaps a bit OTT if you don't do a lot of drawing, but cool nonetheless.
The idea being, that the verticle beam is on a pivot (level with the worktop) and when the horizontal bar on the bottom is pushed with the foot, the corner of the block at the top (which sticks out to the side) holds the piece to be worked in place. Since the pressure is applied by your foot, it should be very quick and easy to move the piece around.
Additionally, since the beam is longer below the pivot (the end on which you're pushing) than above, the torque applied will be multiplied, so it shouldn't be difficult to apply enough pressure to hold the piece tightly. IMO it could be improved ergonomically by having a bend in the beam, towards the user, so that you don't have to stretch your leg too far out, and can therefore apply more pressure with less effort.
I'm not going to be building this in the near future but thought someone might be interested or find a use for it

Southampton based cruise ship, Queen Victoria is being forced to cancel two voyages due to a problem with one of her propulsion units.
Announcing the cancellation of the cruises in January of next year, Cunard said "it is timely" that a bearing needs to be replaced as part of a previously scheduled, multi-million pound dry docking in Germany during December at the Blohm and Voss shipyard in Hamburg.
- First look behind the scenes on Quantum of the Seas
- World's most high-tech ship arrives in Southampton
- Organised gang crackdown finds £1m worth of luxury cars
- Cruise industry serious about Ebola threat
- 300 jobs to go at luxury yacht builder
- UPDATE: World's biggest cruise ship arrives in city
- Drunk hovercraft pilot jailed after near miss with tanker
- World's largest cruise vessel looking ship-shape
Cunard stressed the problem has no impact on the safety of the vessel but the bearing needed to be replaced before Queen Victoria sets sail on her World Cruise beginning January 20, 2015.
The two voyage effected by the work are a 12-night cruise to the Canary Island leaving January 3 together with a shorter, five-night trip to Amsterdam and Cherbourg, which would have departed on January 15.
"Passengers, and their travel agents, have been informed," said a spokesman for Cunard.
"A future cruise credit of £100 per person is being offered to all affected passengers which can be used in conjunction with any alternative Cunard booking made for cruises departing within the next two years. "Full refunds of any monies paid will also be available should affected passengers not be in a position to rebook an alternative cruise with Cunard."
Following the success of sister-ship, Queen Elizabeth's recent refit at the same yard, Queen Victoria's make-over will create nine single staterooms on the ship for the first time, re-modelled from part of the ship's casino.
In addition, carpets are being renewed throughout and large flat-screen televisions, mostly 32" or above, are being installed in all passenger cabins while in the ship's informal Lido restaurant, waiters will in the future serve hot drinks at all meals. As on Queen Elizabeth, sun awnings will be erected on the open area near the stern Lido pool and on both sides of the Grills Upper Terrace area near the top of the ship to offer more shade on deck. On the technical front, "scrubber" technology is being installed aboard Queen Victoria to match that now aboard Queen Elizabeth in line with the company's aim of minimising its environmental impact.
This involves the installation of a filtration system for the exhaust gas from the ship's engines. Cunard director, Angus Struthers said: "While we are sorry to be cancelling the two cruises, we are looking forward to welcoming all those affected back aboard a Cunard ship in the near future, perhaps on Queen Victoria or Queen Elizabeth, both of which will be sailing in 2015 fresh from their make-overs."

If I had to sum up my mood in one word, that'd be it. "Bleh."
I've got so much homework to do. And I keep putting it off ... plus I feel kind of sick today. I'm just feeling lazy and depressed. :p
Another day has begun ... and I'm sleepy! *Zzzzznoore* Christmas is over, and everybody takes down their decorations and throw out their Christmas trees. Gee, does that feel funny, or what
My C-level essay on Maria Gripe and Swedenborg (Swedish mystic from the 17hundreds) will be finished in a couple of weeks ... or so I hope. There are no dragons in it, but hey! You can't have everything!:)
I watched the movie "Half Baked" on vcr the other evening. Not really a favourite of mine, I can tell you that. It was ok, I suppose, but I don't feel like watching it again in a hurry. Maybe that's because I've never tried smoking pot? Hm...Naah! I don't think I'll try that just to understand that film. It would clash with my medication, anyway
I guess you are all VERY excited to hear about Larry the Knight and his dragonhunting, eh? Heh heh... Ok.
Larry - the Clutsy Dragonhunter
It was a beautiful day outside. Larry lay in bed and snored. He wasn't too keen on mornings, especially not the sunny ones. You see, Larry wasn't only allergic to dragons. He was allergic to practically everything that he liked. Cats made him sneeze, and so did dogs and small, furry rodents. Oranges gave him a hickough. Chocolate gave him a sore throat, and birch trees caused him to barf. Well, this stuff about him throwing up every time he saw a birch tree wasn't technically to do with allergies. It could, however, have something to do with that time when he was to a funfair and the merry-go-round crashed. Exactly what happened is unclear, but that machine suddenly went spinning like crazy and sent poor Larry, who was at the time three years old and still using diapers, flying through the air and crashing head first against a ...guess what? That's right. A birch tree. Larry had a serious concussion and could hardly see straight for a week. It didn't get any better because his mummy thought he needed some fresh air, and placed him in the garden, just under a - everybody, now - BIRCH TREE. Every time the little boy looked up, he saw the tree, mostly rocking from side to side. (A concussion tends to make you a little dizzy, you know.) It was a sight that would make a dolphin seasick. So, who can blame poor old Larry for not loving birch trees, hm?
Anyway, Larry was busy sleeping when his dear mother came marching into his room.
"Laaarriieeee!" she roared. "Laarriiee-baby! It's time to get up!"
When he didn't immediately rise and shine (God, how I hate that expression!), she walked directly up to his bed, lifted it up and shook it. Larry's mum had the physique of a professional wrestler, and she didn't mind using it. Especially not when her beloved offspring needed her assistance, and he did most of the time.
"It's time to slay some dragons!" she chirped, while spinning the bed round and round. "Time to sneeze them! Time to "blow" their minds, heh heh ..."
"Aw, Mum! I sneezed one yesterday, remember?" Larry wasn't really in the mood to go out and sneeze on dragons today. Of course he was aware that he had a rare gift; not many other guys could produce so much dragon-killing snot that they practically could bathe in it, but...
"When your father was young, he killed at least four dragons a week! Now, that was a fabulous nose!" His mother gazed dreamily into the world of memories. Larry made a sour face and headed for the bathroom.
"The Bogeymans called, sweetie. They have trouble with a small dragon in their dungeon. It gnaws on their torture devices."
"Aaimallgrofffokrumf" said Larry.
"Don't speak with food in your mouth, sweetie!"
He swallowed viciously.
"I am allergic to dungeons."
"So much the better! I told them you'd be there right after breakfast!"
"How many times have I told you not to speak with food in your mouth???!!"
The Bogeymans' front door looked absolutely horryfying. It was yellow, with a pink handle, and had a disgustingly cute sign with the words "Here live Moldy, Mildred and Frog" nailed onto it. Larry winced as he rang the bell and a chime version of "Love me tender" echoed through the garden.
To be continued...
Films watched between January 1, 2004 - January 3rd, 2004.
Half Baked, 4/5, This is a hard review to write. As an artistic film asshole kind of guy, I have to shun the genre of gross out moronic happy madison comedies, but as a pothead, I have to love pothead movies. Well this is about the modern day world of potheads, its pretty over the top in some areas, but thats Chappelles style. It feels somewhat like british humour, but mixed with the slang a ebonics that America loves.
The story is pretty basic, one of the roomates friends gets arrested for killing a police horse, and they have to sale drugs to get him out. Simple right? Add in some moronic jokes, a slew of celeb cameos, and a guy who just seems to live with them, and you've got a pretty hilarious film.
Don't take it as something lovely and philosophical, or some sort of genre defying pop culture changeing earth shakeing multi million dollar blockbuster, this is a movie for potheads, and with lines like "I may have liked getting high, but I liked pussy a whole lot more." its outragous to think this film gets snubbed so much. Concidering the other pothead stoner comedies these days are just plain stupid, Half Baked is a gem in a bag of dudes cars, if only for the cameos.
Where: DVD
one line review: Pretty stupid stoner film that is saved by the presence of Dave Chapelle.
This is one of those movies where after watching it halfway you realize you've seen it before. And fallen asleep during it. (In my case it was on a bus ride from Ottawa to Miami for a week of partying). Still, this is one of those classic films that people constantly do "bits" from, so I figured it was worth watching it in its entirety.
It isn't a good movie. At all. The only remotely saving grace is Dave Chapelle. Dude is funny. And Harland Williams is pretty funny as Kenny. But other than that the entire premise of the movie is utter crap. This is one of those movies that you want to save for moments when you want to turn off your brain.
Brian : Get some sour cream and onion chips with some dip, man, some beef jerky, some peanut butter. Get some Haagen-Dasz ice cream bars, a whole lot, make sure chocolate, gotta have chocolate, man. Some popcorn, red popcorn, graham crackers, graham crackers with marshmallows, the little marshmallows and little chocolate bars and we can make s'mores, man. Also, celery, grape jelly, Cap'n Crunch with the little Crunch berries, pizzas. We need two big pizzas, man, everything on 'em, with water, whole lotta water, and Funyons.
Kenny Davis : That's it?
Thurgood Jenkins : Yeah, get me a box of condoms, and, what was that thing we used to eat back in the day? What was it... oh yeah, pussy.
Kenny Davis : You guys gotta get me out of here! There's this guy Nasty Nate who wants my cocktail fruit, and everyone here likes fresh fish! Then The Squirrel Master came out of left field and told me I'm his bitch!
Cocaine Addict : Marijuana is not a drug. I used to suck dick for coke. Now that's an addiction. You ever suck some dick for marijuana?
Brian : Lady, seven bucks for a used Kenny Loggins record? I'll give you five.
Record Store Customer: Ugh-huh, he autographed it himself.
Brian : Alright, I'll give you four.
Thurgood Jenkins : You know I got some weed at work today, if y'all wanna try it out.
Scarface : Nah, we don't feel like smokin right now.
Thurgood Jenkins : Me neither. So y'all wanna smoke?
Scarface : I'll get Billy Bong Thornton!
Brian : No man. No Billy Bong Thornton without Kenny. That wouldn't be right. Get Wesley Pipes.
Kenny : In eleven days I'm as good as skewered! Ever take your clothes off and run backwards through a cornfield?
Kenny : Hey, girl! You hungry?
Overwight Woman : Fuck you, nigga!
Kenny : I'm sorry! I was talking to the horse.
First, there was dazed and confused. Then there was this. Dazed and confused was great because, it wasn`t just stoner humor (Which i hate anyway) it had a good soundtrack and good actors (Minus HB with Harland Williams, great comedian) David Chapelle blows goats in anything he does, this is no better. He drags down everyone he`s with in anything. Stoners aren`t funny, they`re just dumb. I`ve only liked watching stoners when I sell Tic-Tacs to stupid pre-teens behind bars and tell them it`s drugs and watch them "Trip". Grass culture sucks anyway. I hated this movie to the point where I turned it off and wondered why the hell this got such noteriety. :rotten: Wow! Drugs! I`ve never seen a movie with those before. Stupid humor, sometimes yes even stoner humor is funny when you use it right, not when you base a shitty movie on it. Fuck Chapelle for going to the lowest common denominator again...fuck him with a pine tree. :down:
With all the crap being pushed into theaters as of late and the b-movie hangover from Alone in the Dark, I've pulled some hilarious flicks, involving potheads and idiots.
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
The mackdaddies of Jeresy are back! I'd only seen Dogma before seeing this. I laughed my butt off from start to finish. With so many cameos, it was hard for this movie to get boring. This movie is packed with profanity and awesome quotes.
Half Baked
The first movie where Dave Chappelle's talent showed potential. I'm not sure why so many people disliked this film. It is just a stupid comedy, with stupid characters. You got to love Dave and Jim in this as well as the others.
Detroit Rock City
I never thought I would like this movie, but when I watched it with a friend, I found a wonderful comedy. It is cookie cutter in the sense that it is like a lot of teen road trip movies. It gets better once they make it to their destination.
Beavis and Butt-Head Do America
One of the few cartoon show to movie successes in my book. Just stupid fun. It is a shame that the show is cancelled as the show and the movie have a lot classic scenes and quotes.
Low production value and definitely for stoners. Which is a shame, because no one actually smokes weed anymore.

The first method of conditional inference is that the observer influences the observational setting (the assessment task presented to the student) or the conditions that precede the observation in ways that ensure a certain task-examinee matchup. This method is demonstrated by the design of the control-of-variables study just described.
A second way to condition the extraction of information from student performances is to obtain relevant background information about students from which to infer key aspects of the matchups. In the Klahr et al. (in press) example, this approach would be appropriate if the researchers could only give randomly selected post-test tasks to students, but could try to use curriculum guides and teacher interviews to determine how each student's post-test happened to correspond with his or her past instruction (if at all).
A third method is to let students choose among assessment tasks in light of what they know about themselves—their interests, their strengths, and their backgrounds. In the control-of-variables study, students might be shown several tasks and asked to solve one they encountered in instruction, one a great deal like it, and one quite dissimilar (making sure the student identified which was which). A complication here is that some students will likely be better at making such decisions than others.
The forms of conditional inference described above offer promise for tackling persisting issues of equity and fairness in large-scale assessment. Future assessments could be designed that take into account students' opportunity to learn what is being tested. Similarly, such approaches could help address issues of curriculum fairness, that is, help protect against external assessments that favor one curriculum over another. Issues of opportunity to learn and the need for alignment among assessment, curriculum, and instruction are taken up further in Chapter 6.
The design of high-quality classroom and large-scale assessments is a complex process that involves numerous components best characterized as iterative and interdependent, rather than linear and sequential. A design decision made at a later stage can affect one occurring earlier in the process. As a result, assessment developers must often revisit their choices and refine their designs.
One of the main features that distinguishes the committee's proposed approach to assessment design from current approaches is the central role of a model of cognition and learning, as emphasized above. This model may be fine-grained and very elaborate or more coarsely grained, depending on the purpose of the assessment, but it should always be based on empirical

The top must haves Tools in a tool shelf
DIY or not, we all have a set of tools lying around somewhere in the house. Maybe it was bought for one time use when a plumber or mechanic wasn't available or was on holiday. Maybe you got it in an emergency. Or, on the other hand, you are a DIY person who prefers to do things their own way with a personal touch of perfection.
Whatever the reasons maybe, getting a tool cabin should be a priority. In today's world where technology has flourished, so has the durability and ease of maintenance of things. No longer does the word 'complex' hold much of a meaning. Maybe ten or fifteen years from now it would be considered difficult to repair or even operate something. But now with the internet close at hand and multi-purpose tools; one can maintain more than half their house repairs on their own.
The continuity tester
Starting off comes the digital multimeter. This nifty device performs the handy job of checking for continuity, really helpful when trying to diagnose if it's a simple power problem or something far worse. Get one with the beeper, makes things faster on the whole.
Wood working tools
Apart from the basics of chisel, screw drivers and drilling machine; you can also check out some of the heavy weights. Don't go diving in just yet. You might be tempted to check out those sliding compound miter saw reviews or get a demo on some new drilling machine. Assess your needs and go forward accordingly. But do stock up on the basics at least.
The cut off tool
This is something which will come in handy in a lot of cases. Basically a hand grinding wheel, this device can cut through bolts, mufflers, PVC piping; anything. Just get it revved up (it really revs up; like up to 10,000 RPM) and get grinding. It eliminates the need for a hacksaw altogether.
Electric Sanding Machine
Sanding paper can do the job just right. But why bother getting in such tedious predicaments when you can have the whole process made easier with just an additional machine. It easily cleans up on jagged edges and what not and also doubles up as a file.
Not exactly a tool, but still makes for an important must have in tool shelves. Use prior to painting on metals for wondrous results.
You must have all the above mentioned tools at your home.

"Opening round set to kick off 2014 season"
February 28, 2014 - The 2014 International Kart Federation (IKF) Region 7 program is set to kick off next weekend in Riverside, California. Taking place at the Adams Motorsports Park over the March 8-9 weekend, the first event of the IKF karting season will be the springboard into what is sure to be a successful season in the western half of the United States.
"We are extremely excited about the opening Region 7 event next weekend," expressed IKF President Bill Hilger. "We have several new series sponsors who have stepped up to provide our teams and competitors with incentives, prizes and awards throughout the 2014 season. The IKF Region 7's supporters will include Hoosier Racing Tire, Motul Oil, Honda Racing (HPD) and Yamaha." The Hoosier Racing Tire compound R60 is the official tire of IKF Sprint Racing and competitors will have the opportunity to gain a free set of tires by registering for the opening round. With their support of the series, Hoosier Racing Tire and IKF will be giving away two sets of Hoosier Racing R60 tires in each of the eleven Region 7 classes. The first two pre-entries received in each division will receive the free sets and they will be delivered trackside at Adams Motorsports Park. Hilger added, "We would like to thank Hoosier for the tremendous support. Also, I would like to add that any entrant may only win one set of tires. This will allow twenty-two entries, two in each class, to have their tires bought and paid for."
To purchase the Hoosier R60 tires, please contact your local kart shop or Hoosier Tire West in Fresno, California to find your local Hoosier Tire dealer. Yamaha is back once again to support the IKF with the support via class sponsorships. Along with providing products throughout the season, Yamaha will also provide championship racing jackets for the three Yamaha divisions. Honda will support the Kid Kart Honda class while Motul Oil will once again be the official oil in the International Kart Federation in 2014. The International Kart Federation is working on solidifying sponsorship and programs from Skip Barber. With discussions underway, stay tuned for future announcements.
Registration for the opening round of IKF Region 7 is available online at www.ikfregion7.motorsportsreg.com. For more information on IKF and the Region 7, please visit them online at www.ikfkarting-r7.com.
For more information on the International Kart Federation including event schedule, sponsors and accomodations, please visit them online at www.ikfkarting.com where you will find news, contacts and information on all future events.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\DOS
Entries in this subkey have the data type of REG_SZ. The following list
shows the default entries under this subkey.
I would imagine that a similar key exists on a Win9x system.
Oh - while browsing the SDK looking for a work-around, here's the API you're
looking for:
"To retrieve the current mapping for a particular MS-DOS device name or to
obtain a list of all MS-DOS devices known to the system, use the
QueryDosDevice function."
You should also be able to call CreateFile() on a directory with a flag of
OPEN_EXISTING set, and check to see if it exists before handing it off to
SetCurrentDirectory(). I don't know if that works around the problem, but it
very well might. Something else to try would be to make a call to
GetFileAttributes and see if the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY bit is set. Or
combine the two with CreateFile and GetFileInformationByHandle.
Being an NT bigot, I have successfully avoided ever having to write an app
that I had to support on Win9x, so I'm not sure which of these suggestions
will help you avoid problems on that platform, but I did just check and
QueryDosDevice is supported on Win98.
Hope this helps.

A little slice of Heaven
We were looking for a place to get away from it all for a long weekend. This is the perfect place! Close to all of St. Augustine and any convenience you might need, but far enough away for a relaxing time. Darin and Cristal were wonderful hosts, making sure we were completely happy. Next time we look to get away, we will be contacting them for the use of their wonderful apartment.
Best Place ever!!!
This place is amazing, the staff is so opening, and welcoming. They make you feel right at home. The apartments are beautiful look just like what you see on the pictures. And the best part is pets get to stay for free. .24 hour pool, gym, and laundry.
Step Off The Patio To Walk the Historic Streets Of St Augustine
We rented the charming Kirkside Suite for 5 nights in February and enjoyed our stay so much. Keith and Mary were so helpful during our stay, greeting us upon arrival and even leaving beach chairs and towels out for us after hearing that we were heading to the beach one day. We were able to walk to Flagler College (take the tour!), the Flagler church (next door and beautiful) and historic Saint Augustine. It's a quick drive across the bridge to Anastasia State Park and The Alligator Farm. The were so many great places to eat, with our favorites being The Present Moment Cafe and The Floridian. Mary hooked us up with the yummy fish tacos at the State Park. We found the Kirkside Suite, with two bedrooms and a bath to be perfect for our family of three. Both rooms open onto a private patio with the pretty sound of a fountain just beyond the hedges. The coffeemaker/refrigerator/microwave in an adjoining room were great to have, as well as use of the full laundry room. Having a parking spot in the garage was a true bonus! We felt as if we were special guests at a lovely inn and Mary and Keith could not have thought of another thing for our comfort. We would love to visit again and would definitely stay at the suite again. We have recommended it to many friends who have mentioned seeing Saint Augustine since our stay. Don't hesitate, it was a charming place to stay!

I'm back from vacation and the Spokane Shock are back to work after their bye week. I caught up with the Shock players and coach Adam Shackleford, who all enjoyed a little bit of rest last week, today at the Arena.
Receiver Raul Vijil went to San Antonio to visit family, Sergio Gilliam traveled across the country to spend eight days with his family back in South Carolina and Shackleford spent time with his family, which included a Fourth of July barbeque with friends.
No fireworks, though.
"We've got the little one," said Shackleford, referring to his young son.
"My wife lets me have about three hours of fun and then it's time to shut it down," he joked. "She gave me that look and it was time to go."
You can read an unedited copy of my Shock notebook, which will run in tomorrow's section, below. Also, there will be a feature on Shock quarterback Nick Davila in Thursday's sports section.

Heather Wetzel
Program of Emphasis: Wildlife Conservation
Hometown: Harrisburg, PA
High School: Central Dauphin High School
Why I chose to attend Juniata: I chose Juniata College because of the Wildlife Conservation program that is a fast track to becoming a certified Wildlife Biologist. I will be studying at the Raystown Field Station Spring '13, which was also a huge incentive to attend Juniata.
Clubs and Organizations: Planting Seeds Christian Ministry Board Social Dancing German Club Zoology Club Student Food Initiative
Internship: Land Preservation in Bonn, Germany. We maintained the natural flora and fauna of greater Bonn. This was done by mowing fields and actively planting fields with native flowers and the like. We also had a project of working on a fence that prevents amphibians from crossing a main road.
Travels Abroad: Summer '12: Münster, Germany. I was there for a month to take intensive language courses. I stayed with a host family. It was my first immersive experience, so it was a great test of my German. I met a lot of people from all over the world. It was so fun to be speaking German, of all language,s with people from Ecuador! Fall '13: Bonn, Germany for 4 months. I had an internship with the Biological Station of Bonn. I was their first American internee that the station ever had, though the program I went thorough, Educational Programs Abroad, hopes that more exchange students can work there in the future. Since this time learning more of German wasn't the main focus, it was a good chance to really observe German culture. Though my coworkers took it upon themselves to become my new German teachers.
Most Interesting Class: My 'Kunst und Kultur'(Art and Culture) class here in Bonn, Germany. It is one of two classes (taught completely in German)that I participate in while doing the internship. It is a one-on-one class that includes things I find interesting like art and culture, but also history, religion, and a lot of architecture. One of the most exciting things was visiting a church built by Charlemagne!
Honors Received: Eagles Abroad Scholarship; German
Thank you!
Thank you Class of 1989 so much for your donation! This scholarship has made attending Juniata College more feasible than it would be otherwise. If I didn't have the financial aid then I would be attending a different college, all the while wishing that I was at Juniata. But thanks to the scholarship I will one day be a proud Juniata graduate.

Cioffi plays big for URI ruggersBy Bob Fredette
STAFF WRITER | April 28,2014SUBMITTED PHOTO
Rutlander Eliza Cioffi, right, carries the ball in a match playing for the University of Rhode Island. CIoffi and the Rams won a Division I and a DIvision II "Beast of the East" title during her four seasons.Size isn't everything, unless you count the heart.
Eliza Cioffi is a good case in point. Told she was too small to play sports like basketball and soccer at Rutland High School, Cioffi took up rugby in her senior year.
Rugby? Cioffi is 5 feet tall and 110 pounds.
Yes, rugby. And she was impressive enough to be elected captain at the University of Rhode Island, which won two "Beast of the East" tournament titles in Cioffi's four seasons there.
Cioffi's statement that she would go out for rugby was at first a joke. But she did it anyway and liked it. So, no more Raiders soccer for her.
"After I understood what was going on I liked it a lot," said Cioffi, who is getting ready to graduate and move on to pursue her PhD. "It was weird because in soccer you run away from the ball to create space, and in rugby you run to the ball."
But rugby? For an athlete of such diminutive stature?
"I definitely usually am the smallest person on the field," she said. "I think I know how to play without getting beaten up. I think most people get hurt because they don't play aggressively.
"I've been lucky; I've only had two concussions and a couple of black eyes."
Cioffi, a 2010 Rutland graduate, was recruited to the team at URI and the Rams don't regret it. By the second half of her first collegiate game she was on the field, and barring injury was, there the rest of her college years.
Cioffi plays the scrum half position, where one of the assignments is to take the pass from the scrum and move it along to the fly half.
It was Cioffi's sophomore year when the Rams won the Division II portion of the Beast of the East, an annual tournament in Portsmouth, R.I. which attracts more than 30 colleges in two divisions.
URI breezed through the event without allowing a point.
In Cioffi's junior year, the URI women's team moved up to Division I and finished second behind Boston University, commendable for a team that had graduated much of its experience.
But the Rams came back this year and scored a Division I crown on the weekend of April 12 in impressive fashion.
They started out with victories of 34-0 over Boston College and 38-5 over Yale.
Then they knocked off 2-0 Northeastern 18-0 before engaging in a dogfight with UConn, winning 8-3 with a late try.
Ironically, Northeastern is one of the schools to accept Cioffi into its post-graduate program.
Cioffi, who seeks her doctorate in audiology, will study next year at Hofstra and does not rule out more rugby.
"I would definitely encourage them to try it," she said when asked what she would tell an aspiring rugger.
"It's a community. It's normal during a game to try to hurt other teams, but then we all get together and have a barbeque.
"I could sit with a bunch of 50-year-olds and talk rugby for hours."MORE IN News
