Thread: A heel-side wake jump recipe
A heel-side wake jump recipe
Here's my recipe for a HS wake jump; not that I'm perfect at it or anything, but hopefully it will be of use to someone else.
- The set up
- Coast in the trough of the wake (on the toeside side of the wake)
- Climb the wake slightly, and then edge out hard on your toeside edge with proper, tall body position. You should edge out harder on your toe side than you anticipate using on the inward, heelside swing.
- Begin your coast with a flat board. Drop your rear hand (for regular footed riders, this is your right hand)
- Settle into a seated position; concentrate on putting half of your weight on the front foot, half on the rear foot.
- Continue to coast until the boat starts to pull you inward naturally.
- The edge in, from the flats to the bottom of the trough
- Once the boat starts to pull you in naturally, just go with it. Don't turn sharply.
- you want a progressive edge inward, such that the pressure underneath your board (you can feel this because the line tightens up) increases gradually, with the highest pressure happening as you hit the top of the wake.
- Your entire progressive edge, from beginning to end, should be in a seated position.
- Your weight should still be distributed 50/50 through the entire progressive edge*
- The takeoff
- Edge all the way through the wake, which maintains the pressure under the board. Flattening your board during the takeoff "phase" will lose the pressure underneath the board which means no lift when you leave the wake.
- Start standing against your edge, meaning away from the boat at an angle, at the bottom of the wake. It helps to look at the bottom of the wake consciously as you are edge in, so that you know when to start extending your legs into the standing position. And again, you're standing against your edge, because you don't want to lose your edge during the takeoff.
- As you are standing, anticipate landing on the same edge; don't try to land on a flat board. This anticipation is another small thing that helps you stand against your edge, instead of flattening your board as you stand.
- Continue to extend into a standing position until you lock out the knee of your back leg (the right one for regular footed riders) at the top of the wake, which means you are fully stood up by then. The goal is to make yourself stiff so that the pressure underneath the board tosses up your entire body, without your legs or waist absorbing that pop.
- At the moment of take-off, pull the handle toward your waist very slightly; about one inch. This helps with stability.**
- As a beginner, don't try to "jump" off of the wake. Just stand tall and make sure that your knees are locked at or before you reach the top of the wake. Think what happens on a trampoline, if you are falling toward it; all you have to do is stay stiff, and the trampoline will bounce you back up.
- Once you are comfortable with the standing motion, you can try standing with more leg push so that you go higher. Going back to the trampoline example, instead of just staying stiff when you hit it, you can push off of it at just the right time, and it will pop you higher than if you just stayed stiff.
* depending on your wake shape and other factors, you might have to distribute your weight a little to the back foot or a little to the front. But it should still be close to 50/50.
** I've been advised that this is bad advice; that the rider will do this naturally without trying. Since it gets done somehow, I'll leave this item here, but if you're really trying to pull the handle in, be aware that you might be pulling yourself off-balance if you are pulling too much.

Pretty good list of advice. One part of the HS W2W jump that I struggled with a lot in the past is the 50/50 weight distribution. I thought I had my weight evenly distributed, but I really didn't. One of my buddies told me to put more weight on my front foot, so I consciously did, and holy smokes what a difference it made.
So, if you think you are at putting even weigh on both feet and not getting good pop, then you probably have too much weigh on the back foot.Brian Roberts

One sure way to recognize the too-much-weight-on-back-foot situation is to watch the board as it pops off of the wake. If the nose goes high (like the rider is popping a wheelie), or of the entire rider rotates toward their rear side, too much weight on the back foot.===================================

This is great info to accomplish a standard "dead sailor" wake jump. Right in line with learnwake and the book which is exactly how my son started. With that said, a lot of riders transition to using different edges as they progress and begin to add their own style with various grabs and pokes. Some coaches are now teaching that to achieve max "pop" to flatten off while going up the wake while keeping stiff legs. This will transition your energy from pulling against the boat (edging) as well as up, to straight up and floating with the travel of the boat giving you more time in the air or from the contest perspective "amplitude".
I guess that's basically a round about way to say your edge creates your speed or side to side motion and your stiff legs create the up motion. If your stiff legs are not perpendicular to the water you will not achieve maximum pop no matter how much edge you take to the wake.

TORONTO -- The Indians did something they didn't want to do Tuesday just a couple of hours before opening the season against Toronto at Rogers Centre.
They added left-hander Scott Kazmir to the 40-man roster and optioned Nick Hagadone, another left-hander, to Class AAA Columbus. So much for manager Terry Francona having an eight-man bullpen for the first week of the regular season and so much -- perhaps -- for Kazmir continuing his comeback story by making his first big-league start since 2011 on Saturday.
Kazmir suffered an injury to his abdominal/rib cage area playing catch during Monday's workout at Rogers Centre. If Kazmir is injured, the Indians had to put him on the 40-man roster Tuesday in order to start the clock running on his time on the disabled list if that's where he lands.
The Tribe's original idea was to wait until Saturday to activate Kazmir, who won the fifth spot in the rotation as a spring-training invitee. It would have allowed Francona to use an eight-man bullpen to make up for the fact that the Indians opened the season a man short because while Carlos Carrasco is on the 25-man roster, he's ineligible because he's serving a six-game suspension dating back to 2011.
Assistant General Manager Mike Chernoff said Kazmir will try to throw a bullpen session Wednesday. The results will almost assuredly determine if Kazmir goes on the disabled list or pitches Saturday against Tampa Bay. If it's the DL, the Indians have a choice of starters at Class AAA Columbus including Daisuke Matsuzaka, Trevor Bauer, Corey Kluber or Joe Martinez. David Huff, who went through waivers unclaimed and was outrighted to Columbus on Tuesday, might even be an option.
Bauer, Kluber and Martinez are on the roster. Matsuzaka and Huff are not.
"You can't backdate a player unless he's on the roster," said Chernoff. "And because we selected Scott to the roster, we have to make a 25-man roster move and that's why we sent down Nick."
Hagadone had an excellent spring, allowing one run in 9 2/3 innings. He struck out 11, walked two and allowed six hits.
Kazmir went 1-0 with a 3.46 ERA in four Cactus League games this spring to win the fifth spot in the rotation. The move leaves the Indians with just one lefty in the bullpen -- Rich Hill.
"We'll just have to wait until he throws his side session and then re-assess him," said Chernoff.
Waiver news: Outfielder Ezequiel Carrera was claimed on waivers by the Phillies on Tuesday. Huff, meanwhile, cleared waivers and was outrighted to Columbus. Huff had no choice but to accept the assignment because it was the first time he'd been outrighted.
"I'm happy Ezequiel got a big-league job," said Francona.
The Indians told Carrera and Huff on March 25 that they were not going to make the club. Since they were out of options, other teams had a chance to claim them once they were put on waivers. The Indians immediately designated Carrera for assignment, but waited until Sunday to DFA Huff because they were trying to trade him.
Carrera hit .279 (12-for-43) with one homer and three RBI this spring. He led the big leagues with 11 steals in 13 attempts. Huff went 1-1 with a 5.82 ERA in nine games, including one start.
Drop the y: The name plate above Ryan Raburn's locker in the visitors clubhouse at Rogers Centre spelled his last name Rayburn.
"They spell it wrong everywhere I go," said Raburn. "I don't care, as long as I'm here."
Raburn made the Indians as a spring-training invitee.
Opening day nerves: Francona has been through a lot of opening days as a player, coach and manager. They all feel the same to him.
"It never changes," he said. "I think I slept from 6 to 8:30 this morning. It's half panic, half excitement, but in a good way. It's like one of the best feelings ever. Even though you're scored or nervous, it's an unbelievable feeling."
Finally: The Indians' most frequent opening day opponent? The White Sox and Tigers. They've played them 29 times each to start the season.

The Sustainable and Resilient Communities track prepares students for careers in:
- Environmental nonprofit development
- Sustainability consulting and coordinating (businesses, towns, universities)
- Sustainable and resilient community advocacy
- Environmental organization management
The Sustainable and Resilient Communities track focuses on the emerging interdisciplinary study of "sustainability." This field examines and experiments with best practices in balancing ecological, economic, and social values for developing communities and socio-economic systems. The discipline raises tough questions about how to enhance the ability of future generations to continue a way of life in a place, without unjustly contradicting the ability of other cultures and species to do the same, locally and globally. The ecological concept of resilience, the ability of a system to absorb disturbance and maintain function, has complicated and strengthened sustainability studies.
Students examine how human and ecological communities adapt, and perhaps thrive, in the face of the possible disturbances of climate change, economic boom and bust cycles, unsustainable energy or food systems, and water scarcity. This track provides the graduate-level content and theoretical understanding of sustainability studies, applying systems thinking and resilience theories to the field in a way that is unique to Western's liberal arts traditions and the learning laboratories of the Rockies. Moreover, this track delivers entrepreneurial management and organizational skills that 21st Century environmental managers need in order to build resilient communities, businesses or organizations from diverse stakeholder groups. The Sustainable and Resilient Communities is a 46-credit track, sharing the 20-credit Core with the Integrative Land Management track. Sustainable and Resilient Communities students are also required to take four courses (12 credits) within their track. All students, across both tracks, must complete a Master's Project and Portfolio in the second year.
M.E.M. track in Sustainable and Resilient Communities:
- Complete 20-credit Core
- ENVS 616 Environmental Organization Development and Management (3 credit)
- Choose three (9 credits total) ENVS 620 Studies in Sustainable and Resilient Communities (3 credit) courses. Options include such course titles as (samples evolve, depending on job, faculty and student interests):
- Triple-Bottom-Line Management Strategies
- Community-Based Climate Management
- Sustainable Food Systems
- Sustainable Energy Futures
- Resilience - Frameworks, Theories, and Movements
- Sustainable Economic Development
- Global Case Studies in Sustainability
- Complete Master's Project and Portfolio (14 credits)

The Six Sins of JSwipeJosh Jackman
May 5, 2015
Jewish dating is a perilous activity. Finding someone in this tiny pool of British Jews who is your age, your level of religious observance, and who you're compatible with can make you feel like an Israelite wandering in the desert.
That's where JSwipe comes in. This free app is an increasingly popular route for meeting other Jews who are available, interested and interesting. If you both swipe right on each other's face, you can start chatting (and find out what you actually want to know about them)! But before you get to that (possibly) magical time, beware the pitfalls which so many trip over.
After using it for nearly two weeks here are my top tips…
My week of living below the poverty line: day 2Rosa Doherty
Apr 28, 2015
Barely a day goes by at the Jewish Chronicle without it being someone's birthday, daughter's Bat Mitzvah, or uncle's wedding, and there is always, always cake.
"Have some, you must, if I give it to you it is free."
By 11.30am it felt like if I had £1 for every time someone offered me their bagel, I could have raised half my £200 target for charity in one morning.
Should the NUS take a wider political stance, or focus on the issues that directly affect students on campus?Jordan Mizrahi
Apr 28, 2015
This week I had the privilege of attending my first National Union of Students conference in Liverpool, attended by nearly 700 delegates and dozens of observers, media personnel and campaigners. Representing the University of Bristol as one of its five delegates was also very special for me as it allowed me to speak and vote on behalf of my peers. It is an amazing feeling sitting down and voting on the very first motion in a huge arena; one minute you are sitting among 1,000 or so members of the audience and the next you are addressing them on the issues that you feel most strongly about.
Not only was I representing Bristol students, but also Jewish students and the Jewish voice on campus. Part of my involvement with Jewish issues at NUS was in the form of the UJS fringe event. UJS ran a great fringe event Faith not Fear, regarding sexual orientation in faith. This event was one of the most popular fringe events of the conference (hopefully not just because of the free food…) and was attended by a diverse and engaged audience.
However, whilst leafleting for the event I did have an encounter with a delegate that aligned himself with the Socialist Workers Party; he claimed that as a Palestinian supporter he couldn't come to the Faith not Fear event. After pointing out that this was in fact a Jewish event, I asked him why he wasn't able to come. The answer that followed reminded me that whilst on the exterior everything so far seemed great, there was a minority that clearly posed a danger to the welfare of Jewish Students on campuses across the country. He told me that the event was some sort of Zionist tactic and he could not endorse that. An event that was about liberation, freedom of expression and the difficulties facing LGBTQ+ that are of a faith was somehow, to this delegate, a Zionist plot.
My week of living below the poverty line: day oneRosa Doherty
Apr 27, 2015
Armed with my Live Below the Line information pack provided by Tzedek, and full to the brim of recipe ideas, and shopping list I set off for my local supermarket fiver in hand.
My task – to help draw attention to the 1.2 billion people who live in extreme poverty, where £1 has to cover a lot more than just food and drink each day.
With 32 charities doing the challenge I would take it on for Tzedek, the only Jewish charity and partner in the campaign. And money raised would go to help run projects in Asia and Africa where the focus is helping people help themselves.
Ten reasons these lists about Jews are one big, fat snoreCharlotte Olive...
Apr 22, 2015
There are lots of lists doing the rounds on the internet claiming to know what it means to be a Jewish girl. Well, here's another one...
1. Yes, we live near Brent Cross. But there are now two Westfields, and they have Primark and Forever 21. AND MORE PARKING.
2. Maybe you like mixing with your clan, but the fundamental point of being Jewish is self-loathing. So why would I celebrate Passover in Eilat when I could go on an Easter egg hunt in South London?
My struggle with March of the livingRosa Doherty
Apr 17, 2015
"Arbeit macht frei" - work makes you free – the taunting words that mark the entrance to one of the most notorious Nazi concentration camps where 1.1 million prisoners were tortured and killed.
Only today, some of the victims to the regimes that ruled here stood under the sign in the sunshine, survivors who were now free.
It was impossible not to be chilled by that image.
Auschwitz and Birkenau - context for a march that honours the dead and marvels in the livingRosa Doherty
Apr 16, 2015
Day two of my journey with the UK delegation involved a visit to both Auschwitz and Birkenau.
On Thursday 11,000 people from all over the world march the three kilometres between the two camps, designed to contrast with the death marches which took place towards the end of the war.
When the Nazis withdrew from the camps, inmates were forced to march hundreds of miles further west, while those who were too slow or fell were shot.
Krakow for Holocaust Remembrance Day: my journeyRosa Doherty
Apr 15, 2015
In Krakow, Poland the sun was shining, the wind blew pleasantly and a large group of Charedim pushed passed me as I disembarked the plane, ready for what one organiser had already promised was going to be 'a deeply personal journey that would change my life'.
Here we go; already a stranger talking to me about 'my journey' in connection to what I've heard cynics refer to as 'Holocaust tourism'.
As one of 250 British delegates taking part in this year's March of the Living – an annual educational programme, which brings students from all over the world to Poland in order to study the history of the Holocaust – I was not sure what to expect.
A Passover PoemCharlotte Oliver
Apr 2, 2015
I'll tell you a tale - you may already know,
Of a biblical feat from a long time ago.
The characters are strong, the story snappy,
It may start sad – but hey, ends happy.
First we have Moses, of manly brawn,
Who at first turned up amid bulrush and thorn.

Pac-12 basketball links for Monday
It looks like consistency remains a significant issue with those hard-to-figure Washington Huskies, who shockingly lost a home game over the weekend they weren't supposed to lose. ... Percy Allen of the Seattle Times writes about what happened against Utah:
With Utah slicing and dicing Washington for layups and dunks, C.J. Wilcox didn't recognize his Huskies.
Seriously, was this the same team that throttled four straight Pac-12 teams with stifling defense?
The energy and effort Washington displayed the past weeks during its four-game winning streak had been replaced with a lethargic and uninspired defensive performance.
And since the Huskies are incapable of winning a shootout these days, they rely heavily on their defense to pull out victories.
When that fails them, like it did Saturday, they lose like they did against Utah, 74-65. Washington's first conference loss was as shocking to the Huskies as it was to the 8,598 at Alaska Airlines Arena.
"I thought we had that kind of defense behind us," Wilcox said. "Once they get started early, no matter what you do, no matter how many contested shots you have, you know they're going to hit tough shots when the momentum is in their favor."
Washington State- Cougs' offense is either el stinko, or the Buffs were playing great defense. It's Colorado, 58-49, in the Palouse ... frustrating first half, then a flurry of offense, then a collapse. Familiar story ... ice cold Cougs get trampled
UCLA - Not the usual script at Pauley, because this Oregon team is for real ... the blemishes come out during the Bruins' home loss to Altman's Ducks ... UCLA hadn't lost since Dec. 1, but there was just one marquee win
USC - Bob Cantu-led Trojans build 15 point lead, blow it, then hit key basket in narrow win over Beavers ... it took 12 years, but Cantu finally wins a game for USC
Arizona State - Everything unravels quickly - two possessions - when the Sun Devils take on Arizona ... columnist says Jahii Carson is special. Jaw dropping special. But he needs a supporting cast
Arizona - 'Cats back on track after thumping ASU, but now here comes an angry UCLA team coming off loss to Oregon ... Greg Hansen said UA coach Sean Miller conjures thoughts of a young coach K
Cal - It doesn't look good. SF Chronicle writer John Crumpacker says the Bears - who were baaaad on Saturday at Stanford - could be headed toward worst season in Mike Montgomery's five years in Berkeley
Stanford - Cardinal defense, and the bench, prove the difference in sometimes-ugly 69-59 win over bad news Bears
Utah - No moral victory in Seattle. Utes put it together and win first conference road game under Larry K. ... Jason Washburn: "It feels so good, man. Words can't describe it right now''
- Paul Buker

Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley and six other Democratic senators are taking some flak for attending a big-dollar fundraiser at Google headquarters in Mountain View, Calif. last week.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee staged a "National Innovation Conference" at Google on Friday, complete with panels on such topics as "innovation and technology" and "energy and the environment."
Of course, it was mainly a fundraiser, with ticket prices ranging from $5,000 for a "guest" up to $30,400 for a "host."
A California group called Consumer Watchdog cried foul, saying, "Public policy matters should be decided in a hearing room with sunlight and transparency not in a $5,000-per-seat-minimum venue on the Googleplex Campus."
The buzz spread after Politico wrote about the event - as well as a similar Republican confab - to raise the question of whether "issue conferences" are a particularly pernicious form of fundraising.
Mike Zamore, Merkley's chief of staff, defended Merkley's participation at the event at Google. "There were no public policy matters being decided in that room," he said, adding that he didn't see any conflict of interest.
Instead, he said the event was a "discussion of broad topics of American competitiveness and innovation," and he said there "was no particular discussion of legislative issues."

Tigers take Jonathon Crawford with top pick
The Tigers' return to the first round of the First-Year Player Draft took them back to a familiar theme: They went for power pitching.
With the 20th overall selection Thursday night, the Tigers selected University of Florida right-hander Jonathon Crawford, sticking with the organizational belief that a team can never have enough pitching. In Crawford's case, they're hoping they have their latest pitching prospect to follow in the footsteps of Justin Verlander, Rick Porcello, Drew Smyly and since-traded Jacob Turner.
Crawford ranked 17th on MLB.com's list of top 100 Draft prospects, and was among the more highly-followed college pitchers all spring after throwing a no-hitter for the Gators in the NCAA Tournament last year. With a mid-90s fastball, a solid two-seamer and a late-breaking slider, the 21-year-old has a power pitcher's foundation.
"He has a power arm with a plus slider," Tigers vice president of amateur scouting David Chadd said in a release Thursday evening, "and we're thrilled to have the opportunity to add him to our organization."
Chadd was among those who scouted the Tigers' top first-round options, including Florida at the SEC tournament.
The key for Crawford to become the Tigers' next pitching prospect is expected to be his ability to change speeds and round out his arsenal. Crawford was working on that this year with his changeup.
Crawford had mixed results this spring in his junior season at Florida, going 3-6 with a 3.84 ERA in 15 starts. He led the Gators with 86 2/3 innings, 37 walks and 69 strikeouts. He tossed 6 1/3 innings of one-run ball with five strikeouts against Austin Peay in the NCAA regional last week before ending up with a no-decision. He still earned a spot on the NCAA regional All-Tourney Team.
The season, plus the rise of other college arms, took its toll on Crawford's draft prospects after once being considered a potential top-10 pick. The talent, however, is still there, and it still drew the Tigers' attention.Crawford's sophomore year was his breakout season, producing a 6-2 record and a 3.13 ERA, including a 2.56 ERA in Southeastern Conference play. He also made the SEC Academic Honor Roll.
In the NCAA regionals, Crawford had his shining moment, tossing a no-hitter against Bethune-Cookman. He faced one batter over the minimum as he helped the Tigers on their way to the College World Series for the second consecutive year.
For a kid who didn't make the roster as a freshman on a Gators team that reached the championship round of the College World Series, it was a major step forward.
"He's grown up a lot," Florida coach Kevin O'Sullivan told the Gainesville Sun earlier this year. "He's very competitive. He lets his game do his talking. …
"He's been through a lot of adversity here. He's self-made. He's earned everything he's gotten. I'm very proud of what he's been able to accomplish for us."
Crawford is the Tigers' first selection in the first round since 2010, when Detroit had a compensation pick near the end of the opening round and used it on now-top prospect Nick Castellanos.
The Tigers have two more selections tonight. They hold the 39th overall pick at the end of the first round as well as their second-round pick at the 58th overall spot.

Henning ,again, is dealing Garcia.He wants that badly because he blocks Castellanos ´s road since he has more upside. But if Castellanos is ready, that means Garcia is being showcased. According to MLBTR he was offered in a trade last year.
For what I have read , Castellanos cant really play third base( he also wants Cabrera traded ). or LF He is another DH in search of a position.
I put Garcia ahead of Castellanos because he is the only good RF we have after Hunter. Nick can't be that bad in LF?
Garcia for bullpen help. Jose Ortega and Darin Downs haven't looked good in the past 10 innings or so. Dotel is MIA. Nobody is pitching well in AAA except for arguably rondon until he fell apart the other night. We hope to win the WS using Coke, Smyly, Valverde huh? Yep that's right Drew Smyly only dude worth a fart in the pen. Best rotation in history. Best offense.
If this team is in win now mode Garcia is on the table for sure. If not then keep him – he's gunna be great.
You can make arguements for matt hoffman and jess todd are pitching well in AAA. honestly i just don't know anything about them so i didn't even glace at their stats. Anyone have an opinion on one of those guys being able to help the club?
I would never trade a potential five tool player for a relief pitcher. The rumor was that Avi was offered as part of a package for Shields.
That is the best case scenario, The other one? a long recovery for Jackson and a Castellanos, Garcia, Hunter OF
A reliever with the second pick
98 MPH and a problem for allegedly covering a teammate
problem for what?
He supposedly provided a urine sample for a teammate needing it to cover the use of Aderall ( its banned by NCAA but is mostly used as "academic" doping)
interesting! my pee is clean if anyone wants to borrow it – at least for academic doping!
Academic doping was my addition. Aderal is widely used by college students to be ready for exams. My point: no big deal .
I haven't seen the article where Henning is trading Garcia, but sometimes Lynn sounds like someone commenting on the internet. 😉 My opinion is they'd be crazy to trade Garcia. The kid isn't even 22 years old yet (next week), is under team control with a low salary, and has a big upside. Don't let a few weeks in the majors color your opinion. The great Bryce Harper air mails cutoff men all the time.
I have seen Castellanos in spring training and the kid is obviously a good hitter. You can see it. I was thinking of a Jackson/Castellanos/Garcia outfield in the near future.
Bottom line, don't trade the future to win a division we'll probably win anyway. No matter how infuriating the team looks sometimes.
At twitter.
Garcia was as puzzled as us after that throw. He came from an injury , played a couple of week . Then was benched and now is looking to find his game again
Garcia for Shields, yes. Garcia for a reliever, no. And what I have seen from Castellenos, he is a hitter, pure hitter. He will be in the lineup somewhere soon. Garcia – Jackson – Castellenos is a potentially dangerous OF with Dirks as a 4th OF
abeit i want to win the WS. something we probably can't do with the bullpen arms we have. Unless BV, ALQ and Dotel come bak
A thought on our pitchers not wanting the fences moved in: seems to me that it's our hitters who pay the price, not the opposition. Closing that gap a little would help us. Our sluggers go up the middle a lot.
Garcia's stock is clearly rising, whether he stays in the organization or not. a very professional AB today with one out runner on 3rd. went deep to opposite field for a sac fly add on run in pinch hit spot.
One attribute Garcia adds which is lacking in the upper levels is athleticism. probably 2nd only to Jackson in MLB/AAA levels. his performance in this recent cameo should give the GM pause when it comes time to make a deal.
Well said, I loved the Sac Fly. Garcia took what was given to him for a big run.
And yes, Garcia's atheleticism is fun to watch. And he is still very young.
I am a little worried about the draft for the Tigers. The MLB tape of Crawford shows him all over the place. And he did not do well this year at Fla and some scouts are saying he is destined for the bullpen. And then a College closer in the 2nd round. Smells of the 08 draft with Ryan Perry.
The lefty from Vandy is a great college pitcher, saw him pitch here in South Carolina. He does not throw hard, but is a polished pitcher already. He will probably be pitching tonight for Vandy.
Also a kid from my town was drafted by Tampa Bay in the 1st round. HS Catcher, hits lefty, strong kid. My neighbor (who was on his team) says he is going to go to USC (South Carolina) without a doubt. What a decision for an 18 year old. $2 M signing bonus dangled in front of you. Pretty crazy.
Agreed. Do not trade Avisail. If you have a strong arm, outfield is an easier position than short or third. didn't Alex Gordon go from third to left? Congrats to Max! IMHO, I like right center and I have sat in the bleachers close to the wall a few times. Go Tigers!
ok but i don't wanna any more crying about the pen. garcia could potentially save it…..
Yes Dad.
ill turn this car around right now, rich!
which reminds me of a fun story. in the 70's my grandfather entered a contest in the local (GRapids) regarding who could come up with the best "seatbelt slogan" and he won. The winning entry was "if you love your kids, belt them!"
local newspaper that is
Who would you play tonight against the righty? Alex (good last game) or Pena (hitting .800 of ubaldo)….
"Matt: Some of this logjam will be sorted out by guys coming off the DL (Jackson). But expect an OFer to be dealt in July."
"Can't see them dealing Castellanos for two reasons: (1) Potential No. 3 hitter. (2) Also plays 3B, That's no-trade gold."
Portwineland, you are spot on regarding Ziomek. Iam Vanderbilt grad and follow baseball team. He does not throw as hard as his teammate Beede but is polished. Ziomek improved significantly between last season and this season.

Damon hopes to stay with Tigers next year
Johnny Damon was in the Yankee Stadium interview room talking with New York reporters about his return to the Bronx for the first time he and the Bronx Bombers parted ways last winter. He ended up saying quite a bit about his future with the Tigers.
Damon reiterated that next year might be his final season before retiring. He said he would very much like it to be with the Tigers. Considering the ups and downs of this season, it was an interesting statement.
"I'm hoping to stay. I'm hoping after this season they want me back to, I feel, be a part of something special. I think that's a big reason why I chose Detroit, because I felt like there was something happening there with a winning ballclub. A championship would mean the world to the fans there, to that economy, to the owner. That's why I felt was, and is, the best place for me right now."
Damon is eligible for free agency this winter, and there has been some speculation whether he would end the season as a Tiger. Detroit could conceivably try to pass him through waivers in order to set up an August trade, though indications are that the Tigers haven't put him on waivers yet.
Damon signed a one-year, $8 million contract in February after winning a World Series with the Yankees, who briefly had talks on Damon before moving on to other options. His addition was expected to be one of the big pieces towards reigniting a dormant offense. He has had an up-and-down season at the plate, batting .278 with 30 doubles, seven home runs, 38 RBIs and 65 runs scored, but he hit a clutch two-run triple Sunday to help fuel Detroit's comeback win over the White Sox.
"My experience in Detroit has been great," Damon said. "I love it there. I feel like the team is an up-and-coming team with a lot of young kids there that definitely need guidance to show them the hopes, and it seems like they've been doing a pretty good job at it."
The Tigers have an interesting offseason on their hands, especially with they do with their outfield. Magglio Ordonez's ankle fracture all but ensures his contract option for 2011 won't vest, making it the Tigers' decision whether to pick it up for $15 million or buy it out for no cost. Austin Jackson is a huge part of the Tigers' future in center field and at leadoff, and Brennan Boesch is an everyday outfielder now.
"This is a new process for me. I'm almost a player-coach," Damon said. "I'm around all the young kids who are almost young enough to be my sons, but it's great. It puts that fire back into you. You enjoy watch these guys grow up. I'm enjoying watching the best hitter in baseball in [Miguel] Cabrera. I'm enjoying watching the best defensive center fielder in the game. That's the stuff you enjoy and you remember for a very long time."
Damon has been a DH more days than an outfielder. Detroit will most likely look at an impact bat or two this winter, whether on the free-agent market or through trades.
That said, the Tigers don't have an obvious No. 2 hitter on their club as is, aside from Damon.
Damon said he knows an August trade is a possibility. Even if it comes to fruition, though, he would like to be in Detroit next year.
"If that does happen, they know that I would be very interested in coming back next year," Damon said. "I feel like my job's not complete in Detroit until we get them back to the playoffs to make all the fans happy."
Judging from Damon's career plans, it would not take a multi-year deal to bring the 36-year-old back if they want him.

Johnny Damon may be having an off-year stats wise, but I think he's providing leadership in the clubhouse that no one else it. I'd like to see him back next year.
Johnny almost always has a smile on his face and it's genuine. He's just a cool dude.
Nice to see JL put Raburn at 6 and use his streak to drive some runs in.

It happens every January. Once the glitz, glam, glitter and gluttony of the holidays are over, I crave simplicity. I long for austerity and to surround myself with natural neutrals. No frills, no excess.
Story by
Marni Jameson
Special to NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune
I want food no fancier than plain water and a tuna sandwich, and a home no fussier than a monastery.
So last week when photos featuring undyed natural linens in a beautifully simple home flowed into my inbox, it was an oasis for my over-stimulated eyes.
I had forgotten how much I loved linen, but Richard Ostell, a respected fashion and home designer, reminded me. The shots were from his home in Westchester, N.Y.
Rough woven linens graced his tables, windows and bed like a pure sigh of relief. I wanted to crawl through my computer screen and into his home, make a cup of tea, sit by his window and decompress. Instead I got him on the phone.
"I'm calling to talk about our mutual love of linen," I said, breaking rule No. 1 in journalism: Be objective. Never show your bias.
"I'm not a fan of superfluous detail," he said in a British accent that oozes refinement. "I'd much rather have something plain. Linen is honest, simple, humble, durable and has an element of having been touched by human hands."
This reserved taste-leader is the former creative director for Liz Claiborne. His work, whether in fashion or furnishings, reflects style that doesn't scream. His home whispers, "I am here to comfort not impress." It's a mantra more homes should adopt.
"Linen is this great-looking fabric, so why don't we use it more?" I asked.
"I'm puzzled by that, as well," Ostell said. "Possibly because it's naturally rumpled look gave it a reputation for being too casual. It got pigeonholed, but it can be very sophisticated. I think a lot of people don't understand what they can do with it."
"I think it's the ironing," I said. "All that pressing and starching. Who has time?"
"I never iron linen," he said.
"It defeats the point of it. The rumpled look is part of its beauty," Ostell said. "I love it right when it comes out of the dryer fluffy. I don't think people should think it looks messy. It should be left as it is."
"Maybe that rough and tumble look is OK for beds, but what about linen clothes?"
"Wear your linen pants right off the line," Ostell said. (How quaint, a line.) "And appreciate the fabric's natural state. Linen wrinkles. Pressed linen looks worse when it wrinkles. You don't want your linen to be pristine and pressed and perfect."
Here are some more of Ostell's insights on ways to live beautifully with linen.
- Best places: Ostell uses linen for bedding; his duvet cover is a natural linen color, undyed and unbleached, and his linen sheets and pillowcases are white. He uses heavy linen for drapes and upholstery, including slipcovers, and lighter-weight linen for tablecloths and napkins. "You can over do it, but most people don't use linen enough."
- Keep it natural: Though he's drawn to undyed linen, colored linen is OK if the color is achieved through a natural dye, he said. The only linen color he's opposed to is black. "It doesn't fade well."
- Always at home: Pure natural linen mixes well with wood, metal, other fabrics and all decor styles, from contemporary to rustic, Ostell said. It has a place in every style home, and keeps interiors from looking too cold.
- The class factor: Cotton and linen come from two different plants: cotton and flax. Hundreds of years ago, linen was valued over cotton for its stamina, sheen and feel, but as cotton became cheaper to mass produce, linen became considered a high-maintenance (when starched and ironed) symbol of class and status. Cotton is still usually less expensive. Cotton linen is a blend, and costs less than 100 percent linen. But fabric connoisseurs prefer pure linen, which gives a more uneven thread.
- A test for best: When choosing, look for Irish or Belgian linen, the two best linens in the world, Ostell said. Linen from china is often not as good, wrinkles more easily and is thin.
- Resist ironing: When you buy linen in the store, it is starched, pressed and finished very highly, he said. "When you wash and dry it, it won't look that way anymore. And that's good. Leave it."
Life, like linen, is better relaxed.

GRAND BLANCE, MI --Grand Blanc's Mike Coriasso hopes to improve on last year's fourth-place finish at the Golf Association of Michigan Men's Championship Aug. 20-22 at Point O'Woods Golf Course in Benton Harbor.
Mike Coriasso.
Coriasso, who was exempt from qualifying for this year's tournament, is one of four Flint-area golfers in the field.
Grand Blanc's Greg Reynolds, coming off a recent appearance in the U.S. Senior Open, also received an exemption.
Davison's Dan Fischer and Grand Blanc's Jake Troyer qualified by tying for 10th place in a qualifying tournament at Spring Meadows Country Club in LInden, shooting 74.
A total of seven Flint-area golfers are in the GAM Women's Championship slated for Aug. 20-21 at Port Huron Golf Club.
The group includes Powers graduates Lindsey McPherson and Chloe Lawrie, who tied for 25th last year. McPherson, who golfs for Michigan State, is coming off an appearance at the United States Women's Amateur, a difficult tournament to even qualify for.
She tied for 139th in stoke play with a 36-hole total of 162. McPherson was one of only two golfers from Michigan in the field.
Lawrie, last year's Division 4 state champion, will continue her golf career at Western Michigan University.
Powers' graduates Allison Sears (University of Detroit) and Ashley Swanson (Ferris State) and Lapeer West alum Kim Brown (Northwood University) will also compete in the event before heading back to their college teams.
Swartz Creek's Haylee Zyber joins the Oakland University golf team later month.
Also in the field is Fenton High School's Samantha Moss.

Sometime between now and the end of President Obama's first term, the National Gallery of Art will likely settle upon a renovation plan for its East Building. Perhaps coincidentally, the National Gallery and Yale Press have published a substantial new volume on the East Building: A Modernist Museum in Perspective. The book consists of papers delivered at a 2004
symposium organized by the NGA's Center for Advanced Study in the
Visual Arts and was edited by University of Texas professor Anthony Alofsin.) [Image: NGA East Building.]
The book is a reminder that 30 years after the East Building opened, the I.M. Pei-designed landmark is still one of the most controversial museum buildings in America. As you might expect from an NGA-organized symposium and in an NGA-published book, contributors line up in praise of the East Building. But the topic they don't address says as much as the topics they do: Scholar after scholar examines the building as civic center, as America's Lobby, as a product of late-'60s, early-70's design, but what's most striking is that none of the book's 11 contributors has
much of anything to say about the building's galleries. In a book that takes admiration as its jumping-off point, that absence is effectively an acknowledgement that the East Building presents art terribly.
As the NGA's administrators and trustees determine the scope of the forthcoming renovation, they'd be wise to learn from their own publication, to take it as a case-study that explains how the East Building happened, what went right and wrong and why, and what the next steps might be.
First: The success. Architect Richard Gluckman has called the East Building "a monumental piece of sculpture," and he's right. It is the most significant and beautiful structure on the National Mall. The library, while technologically out-of-date, is a wonderful, inviting place to work and study, and the NGA's offices provide ideal views of the U.S. Capitol. [Image.]
As Universite du Quebec a Montreal professor Rejean Legault details in an engaging essay, the materials and craftsmanship in the East Building are top-notch. They should be: The 450,000-square foot building cost $320 million in today's dollars. By comparison, the Steven Holl's brilliant 165,000-square-foot Bloch Building for the Nelson-Atkins in Kansas City also features superb workmanship and the creative use of materials. It cost $86 million.
(Legault is also one of the few essayists to subtly address the East Building's failings. He carefully refers to "the contradiction between the building's formal and functional expressions.")
The most illuminating essay in the book comes from Alona Nitzan-Shiftan, a lecturer at the Technion Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel. Nitzan-Shiftan examines how the NGA came to be sited as it was, how Pei designed it to aestheticize democratic concepts, and to symbolize Americans' relationship to the capital city and to their government. To be sure, this building-as-microcosm-of-the-republic was a little bit of marketing-BS: Nitzan-Shiftan notes that Pei cannily chose Yann Weymouth as his collaborator on the East Building. At the time Weymouth just happened to be the son-in-law of Washington Post publisher Katharine Graham and a political activist with ties to the Kennedy clan. [Image.]
Of special interest as the NGA is considering renovation plans is Nitzan-Shiftan's description of the planning of the building as almost anti-art. She writes that the NGA leadership originally wanted to call the building "The National Art Center" but was steered toward calling it "The National Gallery of Art Educational Services Building" as a way of playing to the national mood for education and betterment. Nitzan-Shiftan goes on to detail the concepts that the NGA leadership thought were important to manifest in the building's design, including that it be a place that would "symbolize the activities of the Gallery and its dissemination of information at every level, from that of the specialist to the first-grade teacher." Pei himself described his building as being motivated by creating a "very important center for social and artistic life in Washington."
In other words: As the building was being planned, the display of art was not a motivating concern.
Tomorrow: What went wrong.

ALLEN PARK -- While Ezekiel Ansah's early-season performance has been a pleasant surprise for many outside observers, he's simply meeting the expectations of the Detroit Lions' brass who selected him No. 5 overall in the 2013 NFL draft.
No one questioned Ansah's physical attributes. The athletic marvel put on a show at the NFL combine, showing elite speed and agility for a 270-pound man. But you can't thrive in the NFL on athleticism alone.
With only three years of football experience, it was fair to assume Ansah's adjustment to the professional game might take some time. Defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, a player frequently used as a comparison to Ansah, didn't record a sack until the eighth game of his rookie season. He finished his first year with a modest 24 tackles and 4.5 sacks.
Ansah is already well ahead of that pace, recording 12 tackles, 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble through four games. Detroit defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham saw Ansah's lack of experience as a benefit, not a hindrance.
"To me, the best thing that every happened to that kid is he didn't get over-coached," Cunningham said. "A lot of times, people coach so hard that players become too rigid."
Because of the emphasis placed on sacks at the defensive end position, Ansah's pass-rushing numbers are the first thing to pop off the page, but he's been as good, if not better, playing the run.
He's big, strong and has consistently displayed the natural instincts the Lions have praised since they drafted him in April.
"People said he had no instincts. Instincts, he has," Cunningham said. "Whoever has the ball, he's getting them."
Then there is the eye-popping plays -- the pick-six against the Jets early in the preseason and a strip-sack of Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III.
"When that big arm comes in, he just reaches in and torques his shoulder," Cunningham said. "It wasn't like a chop down, it was coming in with power, like somebody knocking a fighter out with a hook in the 10th round, except his right hook is like a bomb exploding."
Ansah had another sack and forced fumble negated earlier in the season when teammate Willie Young was flagged for a penalty on the play.
The play-making ability the rookie has flashed isn't surprising All-Pro teammate Ndamukong Suh, either. The veteran defensive tackle sees similarities in the pair's career paths.
Suh also got a late start playing football, although not nearly as late as Ansah. Suh didn't pick up the game until his sophomore year of high school and didn't move over to defensive side until the following year.
"He started later than me, but not too much later," Suh said. "Really, what it does is forces you to use your athletic ability and what you're taught right now, and probably the best coaching you can get is in the NFL. That's what he does. He takes the coaching, soaks it up and runs with it."
Ansah has been a man of few words since coming to Detroit. He's let his play do all his talking.
Asked if he is ahead of where he thought he'd be at this point in his first season, Ansah kept his response simple.
"I make good plays, sometimes I don't, so I go back and watch film, just get better."
Asked the same question, coach Jim Schwartz dismissed the idea that Ansah was exceeding expectations.
"We drafted him at number five for a reason," Schwartz said. "When he has played, he has played very well. That's what we have expected. We didn't draft him as a developmental player. I think we were very clear about that."

Cadiz rolls Richmond
EAST SPRINGFIELD Playing at Richmond brings out the best in Cadiz.
Helped by 10 walks, three hit batters and three errors, Post 34 ended up pulling away from Post 740 en route to a 10-4 victory, in a scheduled nine-inning American Legion baseball game Thursday evening.
Cadiz (6-17) defeated Richmond, 13-3, in six innings back on June 23.
"Playing here seems to work out pretty good for us," Cadiz manager Jerry Graham said. "The kids were relaxed, and they hit the ball. There was no pressure on them."
Post 740 gave up too many free bases to Post 34 throughout the game.
Richmond (10-23) used four pitchers in the game.
Brain Flack earned a no decision. Flack pitched the first four innings. He finished with one strikeout and five walks. Troy Fairclough came on to pitch in the fifth. Fairclough took the loss. He struck out two and walked one.
Tanner Evans replaced Fairclough in the eighth inning. Evans, who pitched into the ninth, did not record a strikeout while issuing three free passes. Clay Woodward relieved Evans in the ninth with no outs and the bases loaded. Woodward retired all three batters he faced. He did not strike out or walk a batter.
"The big thing was we struggled to throw strikes except for Clay," Richmond manager Sam Davis said. "Clay did a real-nice job.
Cadiz also used four pitchers in the game.
"We have the tournament coming up," Graham said. "We have some things we wanted to work on in the game, and Sam did the same.
"We went into the game with the full intention of using three or four pitchers. We wanted to get them loose. They hadn't thrown in several days."
Brennan Graves started the game and ended up with a no decision. Graves struck out one and walked three. Chase Hopkins came on to pitch in the fourth. He ended up picking up the win in relief. Hopkins did not record a strikeout while walking one in his three innings of work.
Eric Williams came on to pitch in the seventh. Williams did not record a strikeout while issuing four free passes. Dustin Redish replaced Williams with two outs in the ninth. He threw one pitch which resulted in a game-ending groundout to third base.
"They threw well," Graham said. "No one was in any trouble. We had a few walks, but they got the ball across the plate for the most part."
Offensively, Post 34 outhit Post 740, 9-8, on the day.
For Post 34, Williams tallied two singles and four RBI. Matt Dunfee finished with three singles and two RBI and Nick Staten and Redish each singled and added an RBI on a sacrifice fly. Also, Hopkins belted a triple, Dustin Brown ended up with an RBI and Tyler Redish singled.
For Post 740, Evans singled twice and had an RBI, Flack finished with a single and two RBI and Woodward delivered a run-scoring single. Also, Austin Horan ended up with two singles and Matt Johnson also singled.
Richmond gave Cadiz a run in the fifth.
With one out, Dunfee and Staten tallied back-to-back singles. Dustin Brown followed with a fly out to center, but the return thrown ended up rolling out of play to the Richmond dugout allowing Dunfee to score enabling Cadiz to regain the lead at 3-2.
Post 34 plated two more runs in the sixth to extend their lead to 5-2. Williams singled home a run to increase the visitors lead to 4-2, and then Dustin Redish plated a run with a sacrifice fly to make it 5-2.
Post 740 plated two more runs in the home half of the inning to pull back to within one run. Evans plated a run with a base hit to cut the hosts deficit to 5-3, and then Flack followed with a run-scoring single of his own to make it 5-4.
Post 34 plated five runs in the final two innings to break the game open. Cadiz scored three runs in the eighth to increase its lead to 8-4, and the visitors tacked on two more in the ninth to make it 10-4.
Both teams play today on the road. Richmond is scheduled to play at 5:30 p.m. at Coshocton in a nine-inning game. Cadiz will play at 6:30 p.m. at Toronto.

very beautiful plot, and it went perfect with the song, very touching. good drawings, and color. though i rather did not enjoy the frame by frame animation, though it did go along with the song quite well and gave it a bit more emphasis. I also don't like the constant replay. this is a flash i could only watch once...it would be a bit more touching if the animation was more constant. Very well done though on your part, I give you credit for making something so beautiful with such creativity using the perfect melody and such a great meaning behind it. truly does touch ones heart in a way.....though i know you can do better :D
thank you! the frame by frame can be quite daunting and annoying, but as a storyboard i only wanted to put so many details ^^ the next step will have more images, so hopefully it'll be more easily view-able :)
and yes - i'll be adding both a preloader and make it not loop, but it'll have to wait until finals are over :D
To those who thought this who was porn ,,l,, ,_, ,,l,,
Its amazing for what it is. This piece definitely shows that you have potential.
Wish I could see all of it but its been so slow to load.. Great storytelling though, with the song as the background. Really liked it :)
That was a really cute tale.. Not well animated like the majority of stuff you see here, but to me, that wasn't the factor.. You still told a beatiful tale and put a smile on my face. Good luck on future projects =D

Don't ever doubt how powerful a leader Ray Lewis was. Now, former Ravens teammate Terrell Suggs is following in Lewis' footsteps and claiming that the blackout at the Super Bowl last February came straight from the top.
In an interview airing Tuesday night on ESPN's "E:60," Suggs tells reporter Lisa Salters that the power outage at the Superdome during the win over the 49ers traces right back to the commissioner.
"I was like Vegas, parlor tricks, you know what I mean?" Suggs said, according to a transcript posted on baltimoresun.com. "I was like, ahh, Roger Goodell, he never stops, he always has something up his sleeve. He just couldn't let us have this one in a landslide huh?"
"So you think Roger Goodell had turned the lights out?" Salters asked Suggs, who replied: "I thought he had a hand in it. Most definitely, he had a hand in it."
Suggs added that he believes Goodell is not impartial, and offered as proof something he saw at the season opener in Denver last month: Goodell and John Elway on the Broncos' sideline laughing it up."
"You're the commissioner of this league and you're supposed to make sure everything is being played on an even playing field. I definitely don't think he's doing a good job, and I don't think he should be making 10 million a year," Suggs told the show.
In the NFL Network's documentary series "America's Game" on last year's Ravens, Lewis said of the blackout: "I'm not gonna accuse nobody of nothing, because I don't know facts. But you're a zillion-dollar company, and your lights go out? No. No way. ... You cannot tell me somebody wasn't sitting there and when they say, 'The Ravens (are) about to blow them out. Man, we better do something.'"

Going to College in the UK is a normal part of life for most students who want to continue into further education. Without passing your College exams, you simply do not have a chance to enter a top University.
So yeah, going to College is a choice, especially since there is an option to not go into further education after you have finished your final school years.

nope that'll be next year, im' in grade 12 and i'd probably have to back for a 5th year if i want to get into university(i took university courses to keep my windows open, bt my grades aren't high enough) and even so i'm pretty sure i'll go to one of the universities in my town....Originally Posted by Prez

Well the courses over here (UK) are different.
You do your GCSE's when your 16 in year 11 then you can leave school to go out to work after that or you can stay on and take A Levels for another two years.
Usually people can either stay on at their school to do these (which is the 6th form) or they can go to college to do them. A lot of schools don't have the option to stay on to 6th form so people wanting to do A Levels have no choice sometimes but to go to college.
So it's a pretty normal thing for us really.. well, in my area anyway as we've got such a good college with so many options, there's loads of different qualifications and courses to be done at mine so there's a big mix of people there. A couple of my friends parents go there as part time students even my sister joined this year, she's doing night classes in accounts and she's 29.
In Western Australia after high school their is basically the choice between University, TAFE and employment. We don't have "Colleges" as such. Their are a variety of Universities though, with some having a very prestigious reputation compared to others. For example the University of Western Australia is considered a far "better" university then Edith Cowen University. It takes a much higher Tertiary Entrance Score to get into a place at the UWA compared to ECU. I'll be going to UWA next year
I go to the same college as my mum and aunty.
The reasons why I chose college rather than the sixth form route was to just get away from the people, but that's my thing. I'm not regreting it for one second, the people are much better and you get treated like adults, you get to know your teachers more personally and I'm right in the middle of the city for all my... shopping needs. Security is much better also.
I love you, Adam.

To the Readers' Forum:
Skilled Labor Crisis - (PJ front page Dec. 5)
What does New York expect? Anyone with those said skills and the opportunity to leave New York, does so happily. Business leaving + skills leaving (except for those with engrained contracts or NY family) equals a "Crisis".
You made your bed, New York, (and the voters here), now try and sleep in it.
Hiding ever -growing punishment - taxes - for doing well, only shows how weak the state really is. They even wanted to raise the Thruway tolls that truck drivers already dig deep to fork over.
Keep picking on the normal Jack & Jill , New York - that will get you a long way.

Rosemary Grove: Fair Trade Certified Products
Fair trade is a very meaningful concept in the business world. Unlike 'free trade', fair trade implies that both trading partners receive equal value for their goods. There has been a lot of controversy with free trade issues over the years such as NAFTA but fair trade has remained a sought-after goal.
In one way, fair trade help farmers and manufacturers in the Third World to be paid a fair price for their goods. They are treated with respect and not exploited, unlike many workers in the Third World who are paid a couple of dollars per day and treated very poorly. A fair trade certified good means:
– the producer is paid promptly
– working conditions are safe
– there is no child labor involved
– the local culture is respected
– there is no harm to the environment, such as with unsafe pesticides or chemicals.
You may think you are paying more for a fair trade product, but think of it as paying the right price.
Marketing fair trade goods is a great way to earn income and feel good doing so. Just ask Chris Martin of Coldplay!
Rosemary Grove
Rosemary Grove is one company which is based on the fair trade principle. They started in April 2011 and began to enroll Independant Consultants in November of that year. They are fair trade certified.
What does that mean?
It means that the company is a certified member of the Fair Trade Federation, an organization which strengthens and promotes North American organizations fully committed to fair trade and is part of the global fair trade movement, building equitable and sustainable trading partnerships and creating opportunities to alleviate poverty.
That definitely sounds like a very noble principle. Imagine marketing these products to customers and showing how their purchases will help poor and disadvantaged people in the Third World.
What Do They Sell?
Rosemary Grove sells a wide variety of goods in many different categories: childrens' products, bath/body care, clothing, purses, art work, beautiful jewelry and much more.
These products come from Africa and Asia as well as Mexico and South and Central America. The prices range from under $10 to $100 and above.
The product list is almost endless and they are fair trade certified. Purchasing these products will ensure that whoever made this products will be compensated fairly.
It's essentially a win-win for the producer and consumer. You would like to know that what you paid goes directly to an artisan rather than a company that pays its workers almost nothing for their labor.
How Do I Sell Rosemary Grove's Products?
If you are passionate about handmade products which help the producer make an honest living, then Rosemary Grove is one avenue to pursue that goal.
Getting started, a start-up fee of $89 is required for the New Consultant Business Kit. This kit includes:

7) 250 business cards
8) Gift giving calendar
9) Follow-up chart and script
10) On-going training and mentoring

Product Packs provide a great opportunity if you host a party or get-together to promote Rosemary Grove products.

Do all the research you can and be totally knowledgeable about the subject.
Be an expert!
How Do I Get Leads?
You can sell Rosemary Grove or other fair trade certified products to relatives, friends and co-workers and they'll probably be happy to support you but there is a vast untapped market online.
After all, everyone has only a limited number of people that they know personally. Sure, they can spread the word but that's a process that takes time.
Why not use all of the resources that there are online to help your business?
Especially if it's a business that you're passionate about and want to fully maximize..
Helping people in the Third World certainly is a noble cause.
So, how do you spread the word online without spending a lot of money?

Whitewater Brewing Company was founded by three good friends in 2011 on the banks of the Mighty Ottawa River. The three of us have had many adventures that have taken us from the incredible rivers of Ontario & Quebec to the mountain-fed creeks of British Columbia, from the deep canyons of the Colorado River, to the Great Barrier Reef of Australia. One constant that has remained strong throughout this journey is our return to the heart of the Ottawa Valley to share our great adventures with great friends.
Our epiphany came on a rafting trip: The Ottawa Valley was already home to some of the best natural ingredients involved in creating true hand-crafted beer, as well as great people deserving of a local beer to share with friends. Whitewater Brewing Company was conceived. The next three and a half years took a lot of hard work, learning and living out of vehicles to get to where we are today.
My friend, you are now a part of the story, it's time for you and our beer to tell the rest.
Whitewater Brewing Company believes in the pursuit of the ultimate balance between work and play. Our adventures live on through the stories we share with the good people we surround ourselves with. We recognize the important role that good beer plays in sharing these moments, so we work hard to carefully nurture a hand crafted beer using the highest quality ingredients brewed under small batch conditions. The result is a variety of beers worthy of the adventurous spirit inside us all. Whitewater Beer is brewed by friends, for friends.

A dramatic rock canyon featuring 70-foot-high walls, shaped by centuries of rushing water from the federally-designated Wild and Scenic Westfield River, makes the Chesterfield Gorge a sought after spot for fishing, hiking and just enjoying the outdoors.
The property, managed by The Trustees of Reservations, offers breathtaking views and the opportunity to examine the area's geologic past.
"It's probably the most dramatic inland water feature that exists in Massachusetts, I would say," said James Caffrey, property superintendent at the Chesterfield Gorge. "In the early part of the season, you can see the mergansers, the river ducks, and you can actually look down into the gorge and see the ducks flying below you."
Below the gorge, there's a popular fishing spot, as well as beautiful surroundings for a picnic.
"Picnics are becoming increasingly popular there," Caffrey said. "It's a very low-cost way to enjoy an afternoon with your family."
The property includes a half-mile trail along the top of the gorge, with easy walking. The East Branch Trail, also known as River Road, follows the river for seven miles, beyond Bliss State Forest. The trail leads to the area near Knightsville Dam, a project of the Army Corps of Engineers. The trail is a favorite spot for day hikers, runners, mountain bikers and nature photographers.
"It's just seven miles of untouched river and trail, which is actually an old town road," Caffrey said. "You can see bear, you can see deer in the river, and you can see tons of wildflowers. It's a very gentle river walk; there are no steep inclines."
Other wildlife includes bobcats and turkeys. The surrounding forest is home to hemlock, ash and oak trees.
Swimming is not allowed in the gorge itself, but there's a pool for swimming in the Bliss State Forest section.
The gorge area played an important part in American history. During the Revolutionary War, redcoats marched over a stone bridge, constructed in 1762, toward Boston following their defeat at Saratoga, New York. All that is left of the bridge, swept away by 1835 floodwaters, are stone abutments.
Stagecoaches also used the bridge, part of the former post road between Boston and Albany, and there was a toll gate at its eastern end.
These days, on weekends, a ranger is available to answer questions and provide information about the property.
The Chesterfield Gorge, located on River Road in Chesterfield, is open from 8 a.m. to dusk. On weekends, admission is $2 for adults, children under 12 are free. Donations are welcome all other times. Trustees members are admitted free. For more information, call (413) 532-1631.

Prices in the second quarter posted their first quarterly increase in three years, according to the widely watched Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller's U.S. National Home Price Index.
Released Tuesday, Case-Shiller's monthly index of 20 major cities also rose from May to June, with Dallas and Denver clocking their fourth-straight increases. Only Detroit and Las Vegas saw prices fall in June.
Portland prices eked out a small gain as well -- 0.3 percent in June over May.
Oregon real estate experts say activity is definitely up in recent months. "Our volume so far in August 2009 is exceeding August 2008 and our commissions generated are also greater," said Mike Hasson, of The Hasson Co., one of the Portland region's largest real estate companies. "That's the first time this year we could say that."
Eric Wiley, of Pacific Residential Mortgage in Lake Oswego, attributed the surge in activity in part to sellers' sometimes grudging acceptance of lower real estate prices.
"I think for awhile sellers were trying to keep hold of dreams of yesteryear," Wiley said.
It's hard to blame homeowners for resisting the notion that their house -- which had seemed on an unending appreciation spree -- suddenly is worth thousands of dollars less than two years ago. Portland home prices have dropped 21 percent since the July 2007 peak, 15 percent in just the last 12 months. Nationally, the decline is at about 30 percent.
No one can say when home prices will again approach their peak levels. But June's slight uptick could bring relief to both lenders and homeowners. Falling property values have wiped out $4 trillion in homeowner equity, and thousands have walked away from homes that are worth far less than their mortgage balance. Lenders have written off billions of dollars in bad loans and to sell foreclosed homes at a fraction of their former cost.
"People are much more inclined to stay where they are and work something out," if they have equity in their homes, said Sanjiv Das, chief executive of Citigroup's mortgage unit.
But for first-time buyers, unencumbered by the baggage of an existing home and mortgage, today's lower prices, low interest rates, and the Obama administration's $8,000 tax credit to qualifying buyers have proven powerful incentives.
Dottie Belknap, a veteran Portland broker with The Hasson Co., said sales activity has been particularly brisk for moderately priced homes $350,000 and lower - generally the price point that first-time buyers gravitate toward.
"History will view that first-time buyer incentive as a very big deal, I really believe that," Belknap said.
Nationally, these newbie buyers are snapping up one in every three homes sold.
But the market is not out of the woods. Unemployment and a wave of foreclosures continue to put downward pressure on the market. Hasson and Belknap both said they're seeing sellers under intense pressure to unload their homes due to job loss or pay cuts.
The federal tax credit is also due to expire at the end of November with the expiration of a federal tax credit for first-time homebuyers. The real estate industry is lobbying to have the credit extended.
"If the tax credit is making a significant impact, then housing will take a big hit when it expires," said Pat Newport, an economist at IHS Global Insight. Political and business leaders can only hope that as consumers feel more confident in the value of their residences, they will feel safer about spending again. Consumer spending makes up about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity.

The Cavaliers signed one free agent but another got away on Wednesday.
Posey, 31, a 6-8, 215-pound guard/forward known for his tough defense and clutch 3-point shooting, was looking for a long-term deal in what could be his last NBA contract. A number of teams were interested, including the Cavaliers and Celtics, and most were willing to pay him the $5.585 million salary-cap exception. But the length of the contract became an issue for the Cavs and Celtics.
So Posey opted to leave aging All-Stars Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen for young All-Stars Chris Paul and David West.
Cavaliers General Manager Danny Ferry declined comment Wednesday. Posey is at least the fourth unrestricted free agent the Cavs have courted. However, Baron Davis, who signed with the Clippers, and Elton Brand and Corey Maggette, who left the Clippers for Philadelphia and Golden State, respectively, were long shots at best and would have had to have been acquired in sign-and-trade deals.
Posey averaged 7.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 74 regular-season games with the Celtics last season. In the playoffs, he averaged 6.7 points and 3.6 rebounds. In The Finals against the Lakers, those numbers improved to 8.7 points and 3.8 rebounds. He also shot 50 percent from 3-point range in The Finals.
A first-round draft choice of the Denver Nuggets, the 18th player selected in 1999, Posey spent four seasons in Denver, followed by stops in Houston, Memphis and Miami, where he helped the Heat win the 2006 NBA championship. His most productive season came in 2002-03, when he averaged 14.1 points with Denver. Overall, he has averaged 9.2 points and 4.9 rebounds in his career.
Born in Cleveland on Jan. 13, 1977, Posey was named the 1995 Associated Press Ohio Division II Player of the Year as a senior at R.B. Chamberlain High School in Twinsburg and was an all-city performer in football as a junior in high school. He graduated from Xavier with a degree in criminal justice and forensic science.
