Pascoe resigns as Marina coach after team's 0-5 Sunset finish
George Pascoe wants the best for Marina football. The toughest part about that was deciding he was no longer the best for it. The fourth-year coach has resigned following a 1-9 season.
Pascoe, who steps down with an 8-31-1 mark at the school, informed his players at a team meeting Tuesday afternoon, dispelling rumors that he would be fired.
"I made the decision on my own," Pascoe said. "Ultimately why I made the decision is, I want the best for Marina. I want them to create some excitement for football and maybe I wasn't that guy. I have no bad feelings. Marina High school has been great to me."
The Vikings went 0-5 in the Sunset League for the ninth consecutive season, extending their league losing streak to 46 games. Their last league victory came against Huntington Beach in 2004.
Amidst recent discussion about Marina being removed from the Sunset League, Pascoe made no excuses for the team's lack of success.
"That's not my call to make," Pascoe said. "You play the cards you're dealt. We hadn't won a Sunset League game in nine years. It's hard to say."
Pascoe said he had no indication of possible replacements. School administrators could not be reached for comment late Tuesday afternoon.
Marina, which has not made the postseason since 2001, won a total of three games in the two seasons before Pascoe arrived. The Vikings went 3-7 in Pascoe's first season, in 2010, 1-8-1 in 2011, and 3-7 in 2012.
Marina was outscored 440-169 this season, its lone victory coming against 1-9 Ocean View.
"Hard work doesn't always guarantee success," said Pascoe, who won four league titles and reached a CIF final while coaching Huntington Beach (1983-95). "I have no regrets about what we did at Marina the last four years. I wish we could have been more successful but we weren't.
"What's best for Marina right now is that they find somebody and create excitement."

As it happened the pigs took it all in their stride, devouring brambles, bracken and fern with great gusto, rummaging amongst the forest floor and growing fat in the process.
One very pleased farmer subsequently sold these swine at a premium price as organic, free-range pork. This just left the Forestry Commission to decide whether the pigs had proved a worthwhile alternative to their usual - if environmentally unseemly - chemical and machine regime of weed clearance and soil preparation.
The pig experiment was deemed a success and in 1993 the first large-scale forest pig farming trial got underway in a 62 acre gale-damaged woodland in North Yorkshire.
"Severe storms in 1990 had decimated three-quarters of the trees and the forest floor had become swamped with weeds, so we had to do something," explained Alan Beardsley, Chief Forester, North York Moors District. "Our usual procedure would be to kill the weeds with herbicides, cultivate the ground with machines and finally plant the area with young saplings, but we hoped the pigs would do all this for us," he said.
Firstly, though, the Forestry Commission had to find a pig farmer with enough pigs who willing to take up the challenge. Ian Moulds jumped at the chance and provided around 450 pigs to munch away at the forest undergrowth until March this year:
"The cost of renting arable land was rocketing so, when the Forestry Commission approached me with a cheaper alternative, I grabbed it. Also, the forest offered shelter from the weather, was free from disease and well drained - all essential requirements for pigs," he said.
This pioneering project seemed a perfect solution all round and was wholeheartedly approved of by the Foundation of Ecological Ground Cultivation. By grazing, grubbing and excreting, pigs cultivate the ground and supply it with nutrients. They also make it easier for the tree seeds to put down roots, and help prevent weeds reoccurring.
However, the earthy sound of grunting becoming commonplace in British forests is still a long way off. For all its success, the project had numerous problems. From the pig management point of view it was a nightmare. The number of animals in a given area of wood had to be carefully planned to prevent damaging the existing trees, and poor access made the job of seeing to the pigs' welfare very difficult.
"The trick was to give the pigs enough undergrowth to chew so they would leave the trees alone," Mr Moulds explained. "Apart from worrying about tree damage, looking after the sows at farrowing time, weaning the piglets and bringing the boar in proved extremely difficult - I couldn't get a tractor and trailer in to move the animals with all the tree stumps in the way.
"Basically, the whole idea was not as simple as it first seemed and although I would rent cleared forestry again, this would only be feasible for sows during pregnancy, with accessible grassland nearby for farrowing, mating and weaning when they need to be closely watched," he said.
For all Mr Moulds' efforts, the pigs did harm some trees. They up-rooted small birch, chewed bark and rubbed soil into some of the larger trees' roots. Whether these will survive this damage or succumb to fungal attack won't be known for another couple of years.
Despite these set-backs, Colin Olsson - head forester for the region - admitted the forest floor had been left in very good condition for receiving seeds from both falling pine cones and those which passed through the pigs. Hopefully these will germinate and produce a tree crop without the Forestry Commission lifting a finger.
"The main benefit to us is getting a crop of saplings growing naturally. However, the germination of tree seeds is notoriously slow and unreliable - we may even end up with none at all. If this happens, the weeds will return and we will have to re-plant the wood ourselves which defeats the whole object," he explained.
Despite his misgivings, when Mr. Olsson checked the site at the end of July this year,he was surprised to find nearly a full crop of saplings, including Corsican pine, Japanese larch and birch, already growing. This was a far better result than he ever imagined, but he is still cautious about calling the trial a complete success:
"A lot can go wrong even now. We only need another drought like last year, or an extreme winter, for all these tiny saplings to die. Although it looks very promising I won't give the green light for more pig clearing projects for another 12 months.
"However, if the trees continue to grow this will show that there is great potential for pigs clearing small woodland areas under continuous cover [where 25 per cent of the mature trees are left as protection for the young saplings until established], where the operation can be tightly planned and controlled. But, I don't see animals replacing machines and chemicals on large tracts of forestry just yet," he said.

O.C. surfer wins big New Zealand event
Orange County's Courtney Conlogue claimed her second Women's World Tour victory Friday, winning a big surf contest in New Zealand over Hawaii's Coco Ho.
The waves were two-to-three-feet at Taranki's Fitzroy Beach for the TSB Bank NZ Surf Festival, the fourth stop of seven on the women's ASP World Tour.
"I put in a lot of hard work between last year and this year, and I'm stoked to have it paying off with a win," Conlogue said in an interview with the Association of Surfing Professionals. "I've felt like I've been surfing well all year and have been building momentum up until this point. Really happy about today."
Conlogue scored a total, two-wave score of 14 (out of 20), versus Ho's 9.27 in the final.
Conlogue of Santa Ana joined the World Tour two years ago, and last year won her first World Tour victory against the best women surfers in the world. This latest win propels her to third in the World Tour rankings – putting her in a prime spot to possibly take home a World Title this year, especially with the final event in her back yard in Huntington Beach during the U.S. Open of Surfing in July.
"We're halfway through, so there is still opportunity ahead," Conlogue said.
Along the way to the win, Conlogue was able to take out current and five-time world champion Stephanie Gilmore of Australia during the semi-finals. Gilmore congratulated the California surfer.
"She is surfing really well. Next stop for us is Brazil, and the waves can be similar there and hopefully not too small this year," Gilmore said.
The next event – the Billabong Rio Pro – will be in Brazil from May 8 to 14.

Sniper Elite V2 Trailer Showcases the Killcam
Written Friday, August 12, 2011 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
Remember Mortal Kombat's X-ray moves? Well now Sniper Elie V2 is following suit, with a detailed X-ray cam all of its own, rewarded for accurate shots. Subtle it most certainly ain't, offering a cross-section showing gushing blood, shattering bone and ruptured organs with the killcam.
It's either gratuitous violence or brings home just how brutal and horrific it was on the battlefields of World War II, showing the impact a single bullet can have on a person. Check out the new killcam trailer and you decide which one of the above it is.
Sniper Elite V2 will be visiting Berlin in 1945, where a single bullet can change history on your consoles in 2012. Watch the new trailer below.

Discrimination against armed forces personnel in military uniform is to be made a criminal offence under proposals accepted today by the Government.
A new law was one of 40 recommendations of a study ordered by Prime Minister Gordon Brown into ways to improve relations between the public and the military.
It follows a number of high-profile incidents of apparent discrimination, including an army officer in service dress being refused entry to the Harrods store in London.
MP Quentin Davies, who carried out the study, called for "legislation making discrimination directed at those wearing military uniforms by purveyors of public or commercial services an offence".
He also said assaults or threats of violence against anyone in uniform should be considered an aggravated offence.
Armed Forces Minister Bob Ainsworth said the Government was now engaged in discussions about how such a law could be introduced.
He said: "We've all heard of the instances of military people being discriminated against.
"I do not believe that they are widespread, but I do believe they are totally and utterly unacceptable."
He said they were no different to other forms of discrimination and needed to be outlawed.
Mr Davies confirmed: "The Government have accepted that recommendation and we will get that protection."
Other incidents of discrimination highlighted by the report included troops at Birmingham and Edinburgh Airports being told to change into civilian clothes or avoid public areas, injured veterans being abused by members of the public at a swimming pool, and intimidation and abuse levelled at RAF personnel in parts of Peterborough.
The latter incident was highlighted after personnel there were told not to wear their uniform in public to avoid further incidents.
Mr Davies' report also recommended that troops should be encouraged to wear military dress on all appropriate occasions in public.
Mr Ainsworth also confirmed that the Government was considering marking a new national day of celebration of the Armed Forces by making it a public holiday.
Asked about the report's call for an Armed Forces and Veterans' Day, he said: "We need to look at the details of how and when we do this.
"We do want to take forward the proposal to recognise our Armed Forces. Whether that is a separate bank holiday of itself, whether it's a weekend, is something we would consider."
Among the report's other recommendations were an increase in the number of young people, especially at state schools, joining cadet forces and more onus on local councils to ensure local units returning from the frontline are given home-coming parades.
Liberal Democrat defence spokesman Nick Harvey said: "Many of these proposals are good common sense and should be welcomed. It is essential that the British public understands the huge sacrifice and commitment made by our servicemen and women.
"But we must never let pageantry obscure the hard facts about the way the current Government treats our Armed Forces.
"An Armed Forces Day is welcome, but it will ring hollow for those forces families who still have to put up with sub-standard housing."
Mr Ainsworth said anti-military discrimination was "as unacceptable as other forms of discrimination in our society".
"We are going to take away Quentin's recommendation and talk to agencies and other parts of Government about how we deal with that discrimination.
"We have not got a ready-made model. But deal with it we must."
The report called for "everything possible" to be done to encourage all schools to create their own combined cadet force (CCF) to give young people a taste of the military.
Only 60 exist at present in state schools - with another 200 at grammars and independent schools - and the Prime Minister has signalled that boosting that number is a priority for him.
However, the proposal is likely to prove highly controversial after teaching unions denounced schools-based cadet forces as a questionable recruiting tactic.
Mr Davies insisted there was no suggestion of forcing the idea on headteachers.
A "cadet ambassador" is to be appointed in London in a bid to promote new units and equivalents could be sent across the country if it proves successful.
The report said the organisation of home-coming parades should not be "left to chance", calling on town halls to take a more pro-active role in making them happen.
Last year, the head of the Army, General Sir Richard Dannatt, warned that a lack of public appreciation for Britain's military effort in Iraq and Afghanistan was in danger of "sapping" the willingness of troops to serve on such dangerous operations.
He said soldiers were not "supermen" and they wanted to be "understood and respected" by the wider public for their efforts.
"Soldiers are genuinely concerned when they come back from Iraq to hear the population that sent them being occasionally dismissive or indifferent about their achievements.
"We are in danger of sapping our volunteer army's willingness to serve in such an atmosphere again," he said.
Mr Ainsworth insisted that efforts made since then to encourage parades had been very successful although more remained to be done.
There was also a suggestion in the report that the Royal Tournament should be revived. The world's biggest military tattoo and pageant was axed in 1999 after more than a century.
The study revealed that television stars such as Jeremy Clarkson and Ross Kemp had been involved in discussions over "launching a modern equivalent".
More than 800 people have signed a petition on the 10 Downing Street website calling for the popular televised "showpiece of military skill and tradition" to be reinstated.
Mr Davies said there also needed to be a "major cultural change" within the military in terms of allowing officers to talk to the press and take up public invitations.
US-style rules requiring senior personnel to engage in a minimum number of public events and meetings with civilian organisations were recommended.
Mr Davies said the objective of his recommendations was "to build a series of new bridges between the military and the civilian public and people as a whole".
"The Armed Forces are a vital part of society; they are not a separate part of society. There have been tendencies to think of them as a separate part of society and we want to remedy that.
"There is great goodwill and support and respect for the Armed Forces, rather less direct personal familiarity with them as the years go by," he said.
He said he hoped the report would foster "a new era of greater openness and greater public involvement by the forces in many aspects of our national life."
Mr Ainsworth said: "Our service personnel continue to demonstrate the tremendous bravery and courage that makes them the best in the world.
"This report provides firm foundations to ensure that the work of our Armed Forces is better understood and recognised by the nation they serve."
He said the MoD would shortly publish a second report on measures to improve the welfare of the troops themselves as well as their families and veterans.
General Timothy Granville-Chapman, Vice Chief of the Defence Staff, said: "Mr Davies's report highlights the huge debt the nation owes to its sailors, soldiers and airmen.
"There is increasing public acknowledgement of this, and support for the Armed Forces in terms of home-coming parades and charitable giving has been received very well by those in uniform.
"And every week people see just what being on operations means - they see people, many of them young, giving real meaning to the idea of service and sacrifice, enduring hardship and often displaying remarkable bravery.
"The report compliments the work going on in the services, is comprehensive and makes firm recommendations which my fellow Chiefs of Staff will find very useful in harnessing appropriate public recognition and understanding of what we do."Reuse content

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.2 /5 from 330 reviews
Very brief... but a nice and efficient place with a terrific hotel restaurant.
The hotel is right in the centre of town. The town is lively and very pretty with lots of restaurants. The hotel staff are friendly and the room was of a reasonable size. The only downside was the poor condition of the towels (had seen many better days) and the duvet was a lot smaller than the bed.
We stayed here on New Years Day for one night, stopping on our journey from Stockholm to Gothenburg. The hotel was really great. Both the restaurants and room service were closed and the town was deserted, but it still was lovely. Service was fantastic and the room was very comfortable.
It was perfect!
Rooms are very well used and needs renovation. Service is ok but very non flexible for the price. The hotel bar and terraces are really noisy and that WILL disturbe your sleep. Breakfast is wonderful!
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/forum.php)
- Freshwater and Tropical Fish (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/freshwater-tropical-fish/)
- - no one is paying any attention to the cucumber!! (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/freshwater-tropical-fish/no-one-paying-any-attention-cucumber-27995/)
no one is paying any attention to the cucumber!!
So, I blanced a slice of cucumber and speared it to a stainless steel fork and placed in the tank and no one has attempted to take a look, not the shrimp, not the snail, not the corries nor the guppies. How long should I leave it in there????:-?
Leave it overnight. Take it out the next day. I'm surprised the snail hasn't gone for it yet.
It should be fine to leave it in there a day or two.
They are just not sure what it is yet. Once they discover it, it will be a different story.
Finally I found the snail on top of it, although he did not eat much!! I left it in overnight and removed it this morning before leaving for work. How often should try it? I did not know you can leave it for a couple of days, I thought it would mess up the water.
Redlessi.......lately, i have been putting a raw slice in the tank and it seems it hold up longer and the shrimp in my tank just devour it........A normal slice will be gone in just about 3 days and it doesnt foul my water in the 10 gallon tank they are in............I put a piece in about once a week........Now with my one fish tank (90 Gal), my girlfriend put an end piece about 2 inches long in the tank, i was hesitant about such a large piece, but in 2 days my red glass barbs, gouramis and corries finished it up.........I had to pull the shell out, but all the inside of the cuke was gone..........Just make sure of any veggie you put in the tank, you wash and scrub extremely well to remove any thing on its skin........Keep trying them in your tank, everntually i think they will reconize it as food.........Good Luck!
Thanks fishin pole, are you saying to leave it in longer dont blanch it, just put it in raw?
I use to blanch the veggies, but i found out they hold up better in the tank raw.........not blanching them will also retain the vitamins and nutrients in the veggie better........I usually only have to pulll the skin out after 3 days, the fish or shrimp finish them off......Just remember to clean it very well before putting them in the tank.........You can try zuchinni, summer squash, carrots.......just a few i have fed with success.............i wouldnt try potatoes, due to the heavy starch content........

Online hub allows consumers, restaurants & schools to buy from local farms
Submitted by the County of Yolo
A new website aims to let local farmers publicize what they have for sale — and allow consumers, school districts and restaurants to connect and buy fresh and direct. It's called "Harvest Hub Yolo," and you can find it at www.harvesthubyolo.org.
On May 13, the Yolo County Department of Agriculture will provide two training sessions to teach growers and consumers how to post and purchase products from the Harvest Hub Yolo website.
Yolo County Agricultural Commissioner John Young, describes the food hub as a "virtual marketplace" where growers can post products available for immediate sale, and where restaurants, food service directors and consumers can purchase directly from growers.
The Harvest Hub Yolo website trainings are open to anyone interested in using the site and will be held on Monday, May 13, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Yolo County Department of Employment & Social Services, 25 North Cottonwood, Woodland.
[adrotate group="7″] As part of the training, Nicole Sturzenberger, outreach specialist, will walk attendees through the process of registering as a user and how to post and purchase from the website.
Harvest Hub Yolo aims to connect local products with local people and is part of a three year California Department of Food & Agriculture Specialty Crop Block grant received by Yolo County to increase local produce sales, particularly in the five school districts' lunch programs.
To RSVP for the training, or for more information, email Sturzenberger at email@example.com

West Sac picks new chief of police
The City of West Sacramento announced this morning that the city council has chosen a police chief to replacing retiring chief Dan Drummond.
Tom McDonald, a currently a Los Angeles Police Department captain, has been appointed to the post.
McDonald currently serves as the commanding officer for LAPD's Bomb Squad, Bomb K-9, and Hazmat. He has also served as the patrol commanding officer in Rampart and in south central Los Angeles. McDonald will replace Drummond, who recently announced his retirement after serving for nine years.
"We are very pleased to add someone with Mr. McDonald's leadership and background to our city's police department and management team," said West Sacramento City Manager Martin Tuttle in a press release. "His personality and expertise are a perfect match for the department and the community."
Among his assignments during his 30-year career, McDonald served as a gang officer, SWAT element member, and training officer. McDonald specialized in crowd management during the 2000 Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles. Following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that destroyed the World Trade Center in New York City, McDonald developed an award winning counter-terrorism program known as Operation Archangel designed to assess and protect thekey facilities in Los Angeles.
"I am looking forward to building on Chief Drummond's efforts and contributing to, and being part of, West Sacramento's emergence as a great city," said McDonald in a press statement.
[adrotate group="9″]McDonald, who joined LAPD as a police officer in 1983, received his Bachelor's degree in Organization Management from Biola University. He will begin work in early July.

The idea for the Keats wall light first came about on a family holiday in Florence. The lighting in the hotel where one of our founders was staying was unlike any he'd seen before and so we designed our take on it. The result is an unobtrusive, adjustable armed fixture with a neat shade finished in ever-so classy nickel. From bedsides to hallways, it works in a wealth of ways and can be angled to transform the way light acts (think turned in or turned back on itself).
When it comes to smaller items, we don't hang around.
As soon as your order is in stock, it will wing its way to you via our premier delivery partners at UPS or Royal Mail and will arrive within three days – although we can't guarantee this with remote areas such as the Scottish Highlands.
Occasionally we have to send items via separate deliveries from different locations, but we promise you will never incur additional charges when this happens.
Most items are delivered Monday – Friday, 7.30am- 6pm.

Open Message to Dave Stevenson:
Hi Dave!
What is your position on the registration of all hostas?
I have written that you will register ANYTHING as long as you get the photos
and a check. Am I being unfair?
Are you still taking orders from certain people? You should act INDEPENDENTLY
of the AHS. If you do not, then I think you should question whether you are
truly being faithful to the ICNCP and affiliates.
Send me a list, in the mail, of ALL registered hostas, please. Send me a list
of registration requests that you have refused, with reasons.
Also, please inform us of how much you are paid by the AHS and whether you
have an expense account. if you have the latter, please send an itemized
account of your expenses.
I'd particularly like to know if you are still paying Ben Lockhart.(Folks,
this is the man that the AHS has spent thousands on to find Hosta Virus X. A
cure. LOL!)

I don't do too much reading, but I gotta give it up to these magazine folks. Not only do they have awesome ads to look at when I get bored of reading silly words, but they have to be the definitive source of some of the sexiest pictures that are available to the general public, you know? The latest case is something called Love magazine with the absolutely lovely Amy Adams.
The title makes a lot of sense, since I know for a fact that we all love her, but this is an interesting photoshoot if there ever was one. It looks like my one hipster friend who gets laid a lot somehow got Amy to spend the night at his house. After a night of wonderful, passionate lovemaking (man, f*ck that guy), Amy needed to take a shower. Immediately after, though, he grabbed a camera and took eight pictures and released them to the internet. They're personal. They're imperfect. They're still extremely sexy. Good for you, hipster friend. And good for you, Amy. You're looking incredible, as always. And wet. You look real wet, girl.�

Tom Drysdale, Junior Designer
"After the general foundation course I studied graphic design for the next three years. It is only with hindsight that I can appreciate just how beneficial those three years were for me. I quite often find myself relating experiences to lessons that I learnt during my time studying graphics. I feel that this is testament to just how well the course prepared me for life after university. I also found that the course allowed me the freedom to pursue and develop my own particular interests and skills, the benefits of which cannot be underestimated. In addition, the course tutors were great at providing both direction and encouragement a real driving force. I cannot speak highly enough of Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design."
Fees & Funding

Tuition fees for Overseas (non-EU) students are guaranteed for the length of your course. This means that the tuition fee you pay in your first year (shown above) is the same fee you will pay for each year of your course. We guarantee that this will not increase while you are studying with us. The only exceptions to this are our MBChB Medicine, BSc Medical Sciences and BDS Dentistry degrees which charge a different tuition for the clinical years.
Your Application
Students applying for Graphic Design must successfully complete our 1 year Art and Design (General Foundation) course. In this instance you should apply using the UCAS code WW12.
Alternatively, if you have already completed a recognised foundation course or equivalent elsewhere then apply directly to Graphic Design.
There is a two stage consideration process for entry to the BDes (Hons) Graphic Design course:
Stage One - Digital Portfolio Submission
You will be invited to submit approximately 15 images (in pdf format) which best describe your work.
Your selection should provide us with a 'taster' of e.g. the range of design problems you have tackled to date related to your current work; and demonstrate the way you think in response to a design challenge.
In terms of work for print, this could include poster design, editorial layout, packaging, direct mail, promotional and marketing concepts etc. If you have produced any work in terms of motion graphics/time-based outputs, contemporary media e.g. web/apps design then please include examples. Responses to tutor-set briefs e.g. D&AD, YCN, MPA Roses etc and self-motivated work are all relevant for inclusion.
Digital Folio Submission Format
jpg, jpeg, gif, tiff, tif, doc, docx, ppt, pptx, pdf, png and bmp file types are allowed and each file size limit of 5Mb.
Movie files can be submitted providing links to YouTube/Vimeo or QuickTime movies.
Full details on submitting your digital folio via Drop Box will be provided when we send the formal request.
Stage Two – Interview in person or via Skype
Based on the portfolio submission, selected candidates will be invited to attend interview in person to present a comprehensive portfolio or if this is not suitable due to distance/cost etc., we can arrange an interview via Skype at a mutually suitable time. However, where possible we would encourage you to attend interview in person to give you the opportunity to view departmental facilities, meet staff/students and of course experience life on campus.
The interview and portfolio presentation is intended as a means for the academic staff team to assess whether you are likely to benefit from/contribute to the course.
Candidates invited to attend interview will be required to demonstrate:
- evidence of research skills; analysis of investigation and development, leading to the final submission (whether electronic or paper-based, your portfolio should include examples of sketchbook work)
- the ability to solve design problems (it would be helpful if a design brief were provided to accompany each project submission)
- creative responses to a wide range of set problems
- critical and analytical skills
- skills in multimedia*
- drawing – examples of life drawing and object drawing*
- self-motivated work*
* If this forms a component of your current course.
Please inform us in advance, of you intention to show multimedia work at the interview and any software required.
Portfolio Guidelines (for submission at interview)
Prior to attending interview you should ensure that your portfolio is well organised and that development work accompanies the finished pieces. It may be appropriate to bring 3D work e.g. packaging, to the interview but if this presents a problem, perhaps due to scale, then photographs can be shown. You should also consider what to include in your portfolio – remember the watchword is quality, not quantity! To this end you might consider editing-out any work which you feel does not meet the criteria.
Applicants are advised to seek the help of their Art & Design Teacher/Tutor in the presentation of an admissions portfolio.
Digital Portfolio Guidelines
You will be prompted by our Admissions Team to submit your digital portfolio (and answer a few questions in respect of your interest in studying art & design at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design), via the University of Dundee Applicant Portal, thereafter, if required, we may contact you to arrange an interview in person or via Skype.
If you require further information on any aspect of the application consideration process or the undergraduate programme in general, please do not hesitate to contact us.

WarPath New Mexico Extreme Rock Crawling Part 2
This is one of the most extreme rock crawling trails out there. Definately a favorite! Located in southern New Mexico this trail features one huge waterfall at the beginning and then some great crawling action with huge boulders and ledges. Our whole group made it through in a few hours with no real carnage. I would rate this trail a 9 or 10 on my extreme list. This one kept a smile on my face the entire time. And you know I'm coming back next year!

Initially, when I heard of the toy recall, I picked up my son, Malachy's, very favorite Thomas the Tank Engine track set from the living room floor where it had become a staple. I had every intention of throwing it away — really. But after recalling how much joy this lead-soaked pile of wood brought to him, what I ended up doing was hiding it on the top shelf of his closet. A few weeks later, I thought to myself, the media-hyped bulletin would turn out to be unfounded or even created by a rival toy company, and I could bring the beloved train back to our hardwood floor.
Several weeks into the recall, however, Malachy peered up in his closet and saw the not-so hidden box, and I let him play with it — rationalizing that at age 4, he had well passed the oral stage of chewing on everything in sight. Then, I began to consider other hazards he was consistently exposed to on any given day. Merely breathing in New York City poses its own health risks. When I was a child, my toys were certainly not tested for lead, and neither was I. My friends and I all ate red meat, drank whole milk, and I'm fairly certain that my grammar school had loads of lead paint — and I survived (although it may explain my inferior math skills!). Don't get me wrong; I do worry about the overwhelming vulnerability that comes with parenting — hormones in milk and meat, Internet predators, abductors, pedophiles, terrorism, war. I teach my kids to take proper precautions: look both ways when crossing the street, don't talk to strangers, take your vitamins. But go crazy over toys? I'm not won over on the issue. My son has undergone every required medical test, including lead screening, and has never registered above normal levels, despite playing with so-called unsafe toys since infancy — even chewing on a few in his toddler years. And while I want my kids to take appropriate safety measures in life, I don't want them to become paranoid or obsessed with potential dangers. Life is a risk, and only when we can balance risk, pleasure, and responsibility can we attain the shrewdness needed to cope with modern life. So is it really so bad that I allow Malachy to take pleasure in his childhood by innocently running his Thomas train back and forth along the windowsill, busily humming a tune, before bigger issues become forefront in his world? I say no. And while I'm being completely honest, I must confess that I have yet to rule out the new Thomas set he just placed on his Christmas list.
