3 step approach to prevent parents using social media to attack the school
I was really pleased to meet someone on the Manchester course who had bought my book on school reputation management. Never a week goes by without a school hitting the headlines – often for the wrong reasons. It happened to one of my regular clients – Sir John Cass's Foundation and Red Coat Church of England Secondary School – last year. You will have read about it in your daily newspaper and seen it on national TV.
Most schools take the attitude that it "will never happen to us." But, of course, it does. Nearly a third of my book is devoted to dealing with threats to a school's reputation:
- Where to get support in a PR crisis;
- How to prepare for managing a PR crisis;
- What to communicate, to whom and how;
- How to rehearse who does what.
There are lots of practical tools and templates to help you:
- Write a press release;
- Manage a crisis one step at a time;
- Put together a crisis statement.

One of my favourite clients is a large secondary school in Kent. I've been working with the school for a few years now. Their Head came on one of my marketing courses in Maidstone in 2012. Since then I've delivered a marketing audit for them, and helped with their branding, prospectus and website.
The school wants to be the 1st choice for parents in the area, and they have become really "savvy" at pupil recruitment. One of the most successful elements of their marketing campaign has been their work with half a dozen core feeder primaries within easy travel distance. They reckon the best way to show their school to prospective pupils and parents is to get them through the doors at the age of 7, 8, 9 and 10. In September last year they identified the dates for all of their core feeder primary school Inset Days. Inset Days are a real pain in the neck for working primary school parents because they have to take a day off work, or organise childcare. My client has created special Activity Days aimed at primary school pupils to coincide with those Inset Days. They have held a "Dance Day" and a "Textiles Day" so far.
These activity days have proved to be the most successful events they have ever created for prospective pupils. More popular in fact than their Open Day! Attendance has been astonishingly high, and parental feedback has been very positive. Whether this translates into 1st Choices in due course remains to be seen, but the theory is sound. You have a much greater chance of recruiting a pupil who has been through your doors a couple of times than someone who has never visited you.
I was really pleased to read that Kristian Still had been appointed Vice Principal for Teaching and Learning at The Wellington Academy, near Tidworth. I went to school there for five years in the 1970s, when it was plain old Tidworth Down Secondary Modern School. The school has now been re-built and looks – from the outside at least – amazing!
Kristian's weekly teaching blog (http://www.kristianstill.co.uk/wordpress/) is one of the best I've read. I first met him when he was Assistant Principal at Hamble Community Sports College. In 2011 Kristian attended one of my school marketing courses in Southampton . Afterwards he put his thoughts into words on his blog. You can still read what he learned
Thanks for the kind words Kristian, and keep on doing what you're doing!

This week, challenge yourself to eat more green fruits and vegetables. Here are some examples to look for during your next grocery trip: artichokes, arugula, asparagus, avocados, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, celery, collard greens, cucumbers, endive, green beans, green cabbage, green grapes, green onions, green peppers, kale, kiwi, lettuce, limes, mustard greens, peas, spinach, and zucchini.
Finally, here's a quick, easy recipe to get you started:
Asparagus with Lemon-Mustard Vinaigrette
1 ½ lb. fresh asparagus stalks, ends trimmed, then cut in half
2 quarts water + 1 tsp. salt to cook asparagus
2 T fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 T extra-virgin olive oil
1. Fill a large pot with 2 quarts of water, add 1 tsp. salt, and bring to a boil.
2. In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper together, then whisk in the olive oil.
3. Put trimmed asparagus into the boiling water, stir, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Drain asparagus into a colander and let sit for 1-2 minutes. Blot asparagus dry.
4. Arrange the asparagus on a serving tray, drizzle lemon-Dijon vinaigrette over, and serve. This tasty side dish can be reheated quickly in a hot frying pan or served cold.

Have you thought about trying indoor cycling, but weren't sure if it was right for you? Check out some of the benefits:
1. Low Impact - With proper bike set-up and good instruction, indoor cycling is able to provide aerobic intensity with minimal impact on the joints. The pedal motion allows for flexion and extension of the hips, knees, and ankles without of the pounding impact of running or jumping. Ask your instructor to help you get set up and make adjustments as needed to ensure a pain-free ride!
2. Muscular endurance - As you learned in our coaching tip a few weeks ago, muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle to continually exert force over a period of time. Pedaling against resistance can significantly increase the endurance of your leg muscles. Doing so also strengthens the bones and connective tissues, helping to stabilize joints. In fact, due to it being both low-impact and highly effective at strengthening and stabilizing the lower body, indoor cycling is often used (under the guidance of a physician) in rehabilitation following injuries or surgeries.
3. Cardiovascular - Indoor cycling can increase and maintain your heart rate, and is easily modified to your level of fitness. Vigorous aerobic activity on a routine basis can improve cardiovascular function and efficiency, lowering your resting heart rate and blood pressure, improving cholesterol, and lowering your risk of cardiovascular disease.
4. Calorie burn - If, for you, becoming more fit and healthy means losing weight, you may appreciate the fact that indoor cycling can torch hundreds of calories in just a single class, all while maintaining the above. It results in some of the highest caloric expenditure you'll find in any group exercise class.
5. Stress relief - Like all aerobic exercise, indoor cycling increases the production of endorphins, also known as "happy hormones." The high intensity, pumping music, fun and games, and camaraderie leaves many participants with what they call an "endorphin rush", improving their mood, lowering their stress, and helping them sleep better at night!
This Thursday you can join the party, free for all wellness members, and see what it's all about! Show up a few minutes early and one of our instructors will be happy to help you fit your bike and get you ready to roll!

You need to use modern strategy to get members to come back on social like the old days. I grow out of short pants on social. If I wasn't careful, I could have lost my virginity too. You had some dangerous female crocodiles in the social pond. Next time must put up warning signs.

Daiwa Exceler Fishing Reel DX 2000 - Small Sized Spinning Reel
When you're looking for an affordable fishing reel the last thing you want are 'budget' inclusions and a sorry list of 'exclusions'. Yet again Daiwa comes through with a fantastic offering in the form of the Daiwa Exceler Fishing Reel 2000 DX. Priced to be accessible to the most cautious of budgets, the Exceler DX will surely impress.
The DX includes top shelf technology and innovations such as Digigear, the perfect marriage of alloy to bronze creating super smooth strength and durability in gearing. The 'Air Rotor' adds further benefits to smooth reliable winding. The light weight mechanism is also very powerful and strong ensuring balance retrieves time after time. The retrieve is balanced, consistent and light weight. Now add fish to the mix and the Diawa Ultimate Tournament Drag (UTS) comes into its own.
To complete the package Daiwa add Twist Buster and Air Bail technology. You can now take for granted your cast will be long, loop and tangle free cast after cast with each retrieve creating uniform spool of line, setting the perfect platform for the next cast and the next after that.
Lightweight strength and reliability in a great looking package. Affordable and built to last. What more could you ask for in a small fishing reel.
Features and Specifications
Fishing Application and Rod Selection Guide
Matching a rod to a 2000 series is easy. Look for a length of around 6 to 7.6ft, rated around 2-5kg. Use braid 5 to 10lb and mono 4-6lb. You will most likely be fishing inshore lakes, bays, rivers and estuaries chasing Bream, Flathead, Whiting and Bass.
Daiwa has nailed it again. The Exceler Fishing Reel DX 2000 provides a tone of fishing joy in a small package. It has fabulous inclusions at an accessible price. A great idea for equipping yourself or the kids with their own balanced rig. If you have large family of ankle biters all of an age where they demand their own stuff, buy a handful of these Daiwa Exceler DX 2000 reels and ensure their connection to angling only grows stronger as they boast about their kit with pride. They're too good to miss. Get one for yourself too.

Lessons from a year of adventure
Do you dream of quitting work, leaving your responsibilities behind and running off to an exotic location for a wild adventure? Well that's exactly what I did this time last year. Here are a few of the lessons I learned along the way.
I didn't plan for my adventure to last a whole year. It just sort of… unfolded, naturally. My original plan was to take a couple of months away from London life (and rent), plug in my laptop and do my regular job as a freelance writer from a beach in India. I booked a return flight to get me home in time for Christmas. I had no idea that six months later I would be in the mountains of Nepal, tapping away at the first draft of a memoir that had almost miraculously spilled out of me during my time in India. Call it my own Eat, Pray, Love moment (I'm trying not to judge myself for typing that right now).
Here's a bit of what I discovered…
1. The best things in life happen by accident
Yes it's very comforting to think that everything is in our own control. But come on, it's just not. We can plan and we can try to make everything as secure as possible but do you know what, when you pull the safety net away you'll discover that actually, you're ok. I didn't know what would happen. There's a time for planning and there's a time for letting life unfold naturally. Trust yourself.
2. When you let something go, you make room for something new
I won't lie, disappearing off to a mountain with shitty wifi meant I lost a few clients. Did I get upset about it? Hell no! I was too enthralled in learning meditation at a Zen Buddhist centre in Tamil Nadu or swimming in the ocean in Kerala. There are always consequences to deal and that's why being conscious and owning our choices is so important – it means you don't have to worry about the future and can instead enjoy the present moment. I'm working extra hard now to work with new clients (and I'm learning new skills along the way). Face the challenge with courage and confidence.
3. There's nothing like the feeling of independence when you travel solo (except the glow from the support of friends and family along the way)
I have a very supportive family. We're not cash rich, but we make up for it by catching each other when we stumble. I couldn't have done any of it without the support of my friends – the ones who stored my stuff in their loft – and family, who sat on Skype and read out hundreds of receipts as I attempted to fill out my tax return from a beach in Goa. I am eternally grateful.
4. Money comes, money goes – don't let it control you
Money is a fact of life. I choose to see it a friend rather than a foe. I took a huge risk a few years ago by leaving my "steady" job and going freelance. My dream had always been to be able to write on the road and, eventually, that risk paid off. Of course my bank balance suffered a bit and I don't have kids or a mortgage so it was far easier for me. I know it's not always an option for everyone, but if you have the desire to shake up your life and see what else is out there, you'll move mountains to make it happen. Trust me, it's worth every sacrifice along the way.
I'm pretty sure the biggest rewards from this experience are still to come to be seen. I've come home bursting with ideas about the kind of life I want, and the energy to make them a reality.
Watch this space to see what I get up to next.

It's that time of year again! Thanks to Rachel @ Reading YA Rocks, Jaime @ Two Chicks on Books, Mindy @ Magical Urban Fantasy Reads & Nancy @ Tales of a Ravenous Reader for hosting the TOP TEN OF 2014!
So today's topic is Top Ten Best Book Boyfriends.So these are the guys who are the swoon-worthy ones and the world would probably be a better place if only they were real kinda guys haha. So in no particular order, a bunch of charming gentlemen. Please be warn, some of the quotes might be a tad spoiler-ish.
BEST BOOK COUPLES in 2014
(01) Ransom of Romancing the Duke: A bit brooding but a totally awesome knight
He rubbed his hands up and down, warming her. "Then that's all you need to know. I have you. If there are beasties in the dark, they have to get through me"
(02) Thorne of Cress: so much charrrrrrrrrm!
"Thorne tilted his head to one side. He waited for three heartbeats before sliding one hand down into hers. "I have no idea what you're talking about," he said. "But we'll go with it."
(03) Arin of The Winner's Curse: So swoon-worthy.
(04) Tristan of Stolen Songbird: a little rude at first but totally a romantic at heart!
"I haven't given you a reason to believe I have a single romantic bone in my body."
(05) Sebastian of It Takes a Scandal: I love a hero who'll fight for his love!
"To tell you I adore you. I adore you. I tried to deny it and then I tried to ignore it, and now it seems like the only truth I know. I love you, Abigail Weston."
(06) Rafe of Kiss of Deception: so sweet and so swoon-worthy.
"When I'm not with you, I wonder where you are. I wonder what your doing. I think about how much I want to touch you. I want to touch you. […] His face drew near, and I felt his breath on my skin. "I want to pull you close and never let you go." he whispered.
(07) Cannon of No Limits: I definitely wouldn't mind having him to lean on…
"You can confide in me. Lean on me. You know that right?"
"I know." Her smile flicked with sadness. "But I don't want to be that person anymore."
"The person who needs me?" Because, damn it, he wanted her to be that and more.
(08) Ryder of Magnolia: An utter sweetheart with so much southern charm!
Before I even have a chance to react, he reaches down and scoops me up, literally sweeping me right off my feet and carrying me down the drive towards my awaiting chariot.
(09) Mad Rogan of Burn for Me: Okay, so he still needs a little work, but damn if doesn't know how to kiss.
He kissed me back. There was no magic this time. No phantom fire, no velvet pressure. Just a man, who tasted like the glory of heaven and the sin of hell rolled into one.
(10) Flynn of This Shattered World: So prefect in every way, plus he's Irish!
"I'm not your enemy, Jubilee Chase," I whisper. "And I don't think you're mine." I lean after her until I can capture her mouth again. My hands burn where I touch her, everything else fading away into the background, drowned out by this, by her, by us.

What has helped me become a more skilled, knowledgeable and experienced Social Worker is continuing to educate myself, and the best way I have done this is by continuing to read.
Here are my thoughts on seven books to help broaden your knowledge in the field of human and social services:
Panarchy: Understanding Transformations in Human and Natural Systems: Lance H. Gunderson, and C. S. Holling
I took a graduate course this past semester studying complexity theories and this book became a Bible for me in writing my paper on family violence. It would take me forever to explain what complexity theories are, and it seems simple. But trust me, it's not. In a nutshell, complexity theories, such a complex adaptive cycle explain how simple things are truly multifaceted in how they work. Such as Wikipedia, they use simple rule to make large volumes of information for people to use. It is truly a fascinating book and should be added to your professional library.
The Locust Effect; Why the End of Poverty Requires the End of Violence: Gary A. Haugen and Victor Boutros
If you read any books on this list, it should be this one. If you are passionate about social justice then reading this book is a great place to start.
In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts; Close encounters with Addiction: Gabor Mate.
I read this book while in the concurrent disorders program at Mohawk College. What can I say about this book other than that it is amazing, insightful, compassionate, detailed and well-written! There is a large debate between harm reductions and abstinence in the addictions community, and I think this book will help you realize that they are truly on the same spectrum.
Saving Normal: Allen Frances
Allen Frances has taken a major role in taking steps towards Anti DSM-5 efforts. Here he talks about over diagnosis and over medications of the general public. Use it to your benefit to help advocate for your clients.
The Communist Manifesto: Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels
There is no psychology without sociology. Together the two create a great marriage. This book of course is one of Marx's most well known pieces of works. Here he discusses the class struggle between Bourgeois and Proletarians, how Capitalism is disenchanting, and his theory of how the proletariat would rise in a revolution. While many may disagree this book is still relevant to what is currently occurring in our societies today.
Mind Over Mood: Dennis Greenberger and Christine Padesky
This is an excellent workbook, when with clients, to challenge irrational thinking. Its simple, straight forward and successful. (In my opinion) it is also helpful in working with clients living with anxiety and/or depression. Use it in individual or group therapy. The one drawback is it is heavily cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) based, therefore it requires a lot of effort and work for your client(s) to put into.
Asylums: Erving Goffman.
He is definitely one of my favourite sociologists. This book looks through the eyes of patients living in asylums. After reading this book you will have a great understanding and ability to be compassionate to any client you work with who is living in a 'total institution.' This book is pinnacle and played a major role in deinstitutionalization.

In response to the ever-growing problems faced by sexually and physically abused children, Essex County District Attorney Jonathan W. Blodgett utilizes the Essex County Child Abuse Project, an innovative multidisciplinary response to the investigation of child abuse allegations. The Project coordinates county-wide, interagency cooperation between all 34 police departments, the State Police Detectives, four area Department of Children and Families (DCF) offices, local mental health centers, medical facilities and the District Attorney's Office.
Chapter 288 of Massachusetts Law went into effect in 1983, mandating that the Department of Children and Families refer cases involving child abuse including child pornography and exploitation, sexual abuse, severe physical abuse and neglect and deaths to the District Attorney. Since the law was passed, the numbers of cases being referred has had a significant impact on the resources of the District Attorney's office, local police, the Department of Children and Families and the mental health and medical communities.
The sensitive nature of these difficult cases has warranted special attention and knowledge reaching beyond that which any one professional can provide during the initial screening and investigation phase. The multidisciplinary team investigation approach, proposed and supported by the District Attorneys and Department of Children and Families, addresses the critical therapeutic needs of victims and makes every effort to avoid re-traumatization and re-victimization during the investigative phase. In addition, a primary goal is to promote a coordinated systems response to child abuse within Essex County.

Last year, I wrote this article about how hard it is to forgive yourself. We forgive others much more readily than we forgive ourselves. Sometimes others forgive us for having hurt them, but we won't forgive ourselves.
This week, I read a lot of articles about the 9/11 attacks (like a lot of other people, I'm sure). One of them was this short account from StoryCorps from Vauhgn Allex, a man who worked as a check-in clerk for American Airlines at Dulles International Airport. Allex checked in two of the terrorists who attacked the Pentagon. It has haunted him ever since. He's still carrying a burden of guilt and regret for the part he played in the worst loss of life on American soil.
Reading his story, I don't think any of us could blame him for what he did. How could he have known they were terrorists? He followed procedure, which was not equipped for the possibility of Islamic terorrism on home soil. But Allex blames himself, bitterly, for playing a part in such a loss of life. Now, he says, 15 years later, he finally feels that he is moving out from beneath that shadow, but the sense of responsibility will always be with him.
Janusz Korczak was a fascinating individual. Brought up a non-religious Jew in Warsaw, he became a celebrity in his own time as a writer and a radio personality. Korczak trained to be a doctor, becoming a noted paediatrician, before moving aside from a full medical career by opening up his own orphanage for Jewish children and serving as the director. Sadly, Korczak may be best known for the way his life ended. When the Nazis deported his orphans to the death camps, they offered Korczak the opportunity to survive, because he was such a famous and popular individual. Korczak refused. He stayed with his orphans to calm and reassure them, and together they marched to the gas chambers.
Korczak ran his orphanage on unconventional lines. The children were in charge as much as possible, setting up their own 'children's court'. Korczak prepared a list of 'rights' which each child has, which later became the foundation of the UN's Charter Of Children's Rights. Many of them seem self-evident to us today, but there are some of Korczak's original list which are difficult to understand. This article is particularly enigmatic:
"A child has the right to a lie, a hit, a theft"
What do you think Korczak meant? There are many explanations for what he had in mind, and we will never know for certain. The one I lean towards is that every child has the right to do something wrong once – similar to another of Korczak's principles 'A child has the right to fail'. While wrongdoing should not become a habit, a child should be able to lie and not find that his life has ended because of it. He should be able to fail, and not expected to always be perfect.
This might be the article which is the hardest for us to accept today. I hope that someone tells Allex that, like every child, he also has the right to fail and be forgiven.

How to Make Laksam
No, it's not a typo - Laksam is indeed a different dish to the (I would hope) universally-known Laksa.

Having said that, the defining feature of Laksam is the use of steamed rice flour rolls instead of » Read More

How can I preserve the list "View Downloads" in IE when downgrading
I'm someone who often needs to identify a file or its source by typing Cntrl-J and searching the list of downloaded files.
Well now I've finally had it with IE 11 and plan to uninstall it using the method described in Internet Explorer 11 - Uninstall in Windows 7 (using Option 2, the FORFILES /P ... method) and "downgrade" to IE 10.
I know how to preserve my Favorites and cookies, and even history, though in a different format, but how can I preserve the list of downloaded files? Anyone know? I can't even figure out where it's stored. (This is IE 11).
Thank you for you kind assistance,
|My System Specs

Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
I don't believe you need to use Option 2 but that's up to you
Uninstalling the ie11 update in the conventional way should work fine,
If you don't want it back alter your windows update settings to Check for updates but let me choose when to download and install them,
Then simply uninstall ie11 and Hide it when it appears,
Recheck for updates and other versions will appear,
If you saved the downloads the default destination is the Downloads folder it doesn't matter if Ctrl+J shows them or not,
Click Start and Downloads everything should be there even if you uninstall ie11,
|My System Specs
|16 Jan 2015
Hi and Thanks for the quick reply. I can't find Internet Explorer 11 in Programs and features, and so I cannot simply follow option 1 and uninstall it.
I know the Downloaded Files are still there, but the Ctrl+J View shows the download page and link as well. That is the information that would be lost.
|My System Specs
|16 Jan 2015
Yep that would be lost unfortunately I was thinking the info would be in the properties of the zip folder or after extracting all in that folder properties :/
You could get in the habit of adding a descriptive tag to them after you download them ?
Owe if you look at the top left of programs and features View installed updates you'll find ie11 there.
|My System Specs
|16 Jan 2015
I did use View installed Updates but IE 11 just wasn't there. I used two other tools that are supposed to list updates and neither found it. The incantation in option 2 worked beautifully, though. After a reboot, I had IE 10; with no extra effort on my part, my favorites were there, and the infamous Cntrl+J Downloads list WAS THERE! I was worried for no reason. It could be the similarity between 10 and 11. I don't know if cookies made it (I suppose they should...) but I have a file to import them if needed.
The main thing that went south was my Lexmark Printer Software! I think this was partly my own fault, re-installing it incorrectly at first. The printer software was one of two reasons for the downgrade (Lexmark said as a last resort if the queue kept getting stuck, go back to IE 10...); the other was some backup scripts that write to the clipboard by creating an IE ActiveX object. This fails in 11 but works in 10.
What a day! Thanks for your help!

I really didn't think your download history would be removed but wasn't 100% sure,
As long as you don't delete it with Ctrl+Shift+Delete it should stay technically,
Some times you would need to restart your computer then recheck for updates and prior versions will appear,
Option 2 is good too :)
Thanks for the update,

I REALLY miss "Desktop List View." Any stand-ins?
Desktop List View is a sweet, simple little app for XP & Vista that lets you switch the desktop icons to the same list view used by folders (tiny icons, label to the right, closely stacked). It no longer works in 64-bit Win 7. :huh: Compatibility mode makes no difference, probably just a...
Can folders default the View to: "LIST", not Detail?
When I open a folder in 7, unless I previously set it to a specific view setting, it seems to always auto default to "Detail" unless I change it manually. Is there an easy way to make folders default to LIST automatically when I open them each time? Thanx.
Arrange desktop icons in "list view"
Hey folks - does anyone know how I can get my desktop to display the icons in "List view" ? I had previously used wintidy2 but it doesn't seem to work anymore (nor can i find the download). I'd like to get my icons lined up with the text to the right of the icon. Thx for any help!...
Explorer "list view" wastes space in 7 vs Vista
See attached image. In Vista, with a list view, my 1050px tall display can list 52 items vertically. In 7 it is reduced to 44, because of apparently a larger font and larger gaps in between items. All my settings are default in both cases. This is nearly a 20% decrease in usable space. ...

Mice Hunting
While Metro Manila cops are busy putting tapes to their service guns and while they are busy confiscating "bogas", I was busy loading up my gun and hunting mice.
I do not have a messy room. The mice are sneaking in thru the small clearance of my main door, coming in from the hallway.
Since I wanted sure hits and sure kills, I sacrificed one bracelet and I used/loaded the beads to my gun instead of using the plastic pellets.
Sure kill, indeed.
To date, I downed 3 mice. Another one still circles my unit. I have this feeling this one mouse won't be seeing the year of the 2007 pig. Too bad 2006 aint the year of the rat.

Nothing better than catching first tracks on your favorite local line. The Dream Catcher is our new women's all-mountain board made for snagging those fresh fantasy turns. Featuring a directional freeride shape and a friendly flex, the Dream Catcher is stable, confidence inspiring, yet soft enough to be playful in any terrain. The Directional rocker profile and Spoon 1.0 base deliver epic float in the fluff while the camber underfoot and Traction Tech offer awesome edge grip when conditions firm up. The edges of the Spoon nose are beveled up for improved turn fluidity while the tail edges are beveled up for less catch. The Dream Catcher also features an ECO-plastic topsheet for added ECO-performance.
Subtle yet effective 3D-base contours featuring an even balance of spoon bevel in the nose and spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel starts just after the rocker point.
My experience is that most falls in freeriding start from the nose of the board – you either go over the bars in powder, the nose gets caught under a weird crust and tosses you, or you hit a hard tranny at the contact point of the tip and get bucked. Directional Rocker eliminates most of these falls.
Like a serrated knife slicing into the snow, Traction Tech improves your edge grip by adding multiple contact points along the running length of your board. "Traction Tech is a critical feature for rockered boards. Rocker improves glide in mixed conditions, but the decreased edge contact makes it harder to really lock into your turns and hold a solid edge. Traction Tech is crucial to offset the edge drift of rocker."
Jeremy Jones
"How a board glides in powder, crust, corn or any snow more than an inch deep, is dictated by it's front contact point and just past it. Next time you are in soft snow watch how much snow comes over the corner of the nose near the contact point. The billowing snow coming out from behind the tip means you are plowing through it which is obviously slowing you down. By adding a blunt nose you get the float benefits of a much longer nose without the 'snow plow' rounded tip and it's extra swing weight." - Jeremy Jones
At the far ends of the sidecut, the radius is incrementally increased as the edge reaches the contact point. Gradually increasing the side cut radius towards the contact point delivers smoother turn initiation and exit as the edge tracks in and out of the snow with a less abrupt transition.
By flip flopping the base graphic colors, P-Tex waste is drastically reduced by increasing the material yield.
Durable natural base material with added carbon for speed and good wax absorbency.
Jones boards are ready to shred straight out of the shop and are factory waxed with WEND natural wax.
Full wood premium slovenian poplar core that offers fun pop, even flex and solid durability.
A dual-direction, dual-layer, stitched fiberglass laminate that provides a fun, forgiving and snappy ride.
All Jones Snowboards are factory de-tuned at the tip and tail so you can go right from the shop to the mountain.
ABS Plastic is one of the necessary evils of snowboard production. We improve the sustainability of our snowboards by using only recycled plastic.
All Jones boards are made with oversized recycled steel edges for added durability and improved production sustainability.
Bio-plastic topsheet made from Castor beans. This eco-material is ultralight, chip/scratch resistant and water/snow repellent (snow sticks less to topsheet).

The subtle textures and vibrant colors on the Twin Sister's mountain graphics are the work of UK landscape painter RP Roberts. Born in North Wales and a veteran snowboarder, RP always has mountains on the mind as he lives to paint stunning mountain scenes including the peaks featured on six models in the Jones 2018 collection. The Mountain Twin, Ultra Mountain Twin, Dream Catcher, Prodigy and Twin Sister all feature RP's signature mountain art.

Huskies coach Lorenzo Romar met with reporters today to preview UW's Wednesday game at Utah (6 p.m., ESPNU). He also discussed several other matters, including UW's defense, Markelle Fultz's trip to watch the Huskies game against Arizona, and UW's attitude after losses.
(What do you remember from the first game against Utah?) "I remember we started out the game really well, I thought we played with a lot of energy. I think we're long, but they're long, also, and I thought not unlike last game (against Arizona), the offensive boards, they did a good job there. Poeltl hurt us in the second half and especially in the overtime when we played against them last time. They kind of just continued to stay the course in how they were playing. We would go up, we would make a run, and they remained steady and they were able to pull out the victory."
(On reviewing Arizona film and what stood out about how Ryan Anderson got so many offensive rebounds) "You know, Andrew Andrews pulled down a rebound against Washington State there, where he just willed his way to get it. When we played Utah last time, there was a play where Matisse Thybulle was on the wing, almost had the ball, didn't quite have it, and just willed his way. Might have even grabbed the guy's jersey a little bit, and just went after the ball and got it, led to a dunk. That's kind of what happened down the stretch. They just kind of willed their way to some rebounds and were able to get the ball. Like I said after the game, they ended up with a lot of offensive rebounds, but one guy had eight of them. He just was determined to go get that basketball."
(Is there a way to counter that will?) "He didn't do it as much last time. Ryan Anderson I think is one of the best offensive rebounders in the league. We have to have the same will."
(On what makes this road trip to Utah and Colorado so difficult) "Because they're two good teams, for starters, and combined I don't know if they've lost more than two or three games at home this year. That, in itself, makes it a challenge."
(On if the altitude has an impact) "Shhhhh. Not my opinion – I did play once (upon) a time – I played in that altitude, and the first time we played there, guys were making mention at the end of the game that it was just too much. 'The altitude got to me.' When I experienced it, it got to you at first. At first, you feel like your lungs are burning. You feel like, wait a minute, am I out of shape all of a sudden? Did I not get enough rest? But after a few times down the floor, you're OK. I always feel like that's a mental thing that as much as you want to talk about it and let it get to you, it can get to you. That's how I feel. It is a factor if you allow it to be a factor."
(On what makes Jakob Poeltl harder to guard this year) "He's so much more active this year. Last year, Delon Wright did quite a bit of their scoring and he kind of played off of him. but he also was in foul trouble a lot last year. There were a lot of times he wasn't in the game. This year, he's so much more active. He's so much more mobile. He can actually put the ball on the floor and go to the rim. And he probably had this in him, but he's using it much more – the pass. They scored six points off of us last time just because he passed the ball. You step up, he passes it right away. If you double him, if you're not totally organized, he's going to find the open guy, and they shoot the ball so well, it hurts you."
(On what UW can change from how it defended Poeltl in the first game, when he scored 29 points) "When you look at his points – I think he had (29) – four of them were off of us missing assignments on out of bounds plays. He had four free throws. There were three switches that we didn't execute, he scored off those, so there were 10 points just off of our lack of switching. He scored four points in transition, where he got ahead of the pack once on us, and another time we kind of lost him in transition. He scored that way. He scored I believe six points off of them running good offense and getting him the basketball. They practice too. He scored that. So there's 20 right there. he scored in a lot of different ways. There wasn't just one way he just got us. And that's a credit to him as a basketball player."
(On defensive breakdowns possibly creating mismatches against bigs) "It's like anything else. If we played a pack defense where we didn't pressure at all, if there were breakdowns in that pack defense, you have flaws within your execution, maybe not in the defense itself. But if the defense is executed properly, it serves you a lot better. We've gotten better at it, but there are times when we simply have breakdowns. If we were playing zone, if we were playing regular man to man, whatever it is, if you have breakdowns in anything that you run, it can look like you're not being effective. Our breakdowns, I think, are diminishing, though. I thought in the Arizona game we played maybe as good of defense as we've played. There were a lot of positives. But Arizona's a good team. Ryan Anderson's a good player. But I don't think it had a whole lot to do with the switches. In fact, there were many, many times – I think people see the times when they get by and score, but if you added them all up, that's not what beat us."
(On using zome zone defense and whether they're more comfortable doing that now) "We did do that. If you saw that, you've got good eyes, because we played several zone possessions. In fact, one of them bit us. It was a big one. It was near the end of the first half, and we were supposed to be in zone, and kind of guys forgot, and (Gabe) York got wide-open for a 3. That was because we were supposed to be in zone and one guy thought we were in a different defense. But for the most part, when we did go zone, we either forced a turnover or they didn't take a good shot. So, yeah, as this team begins to grasp things, as now we only have seven regular-season games left, maybe we can add some more things here. With this group, I talked about the balance of moving on, and being patient, and you start doing too many things, you become a jack of all trades and master of none. We don't want to be that team. So we're still trying to get this defense together. I thought we made great strides the last couple of games."
(On being excited to see how the team handles the high stkes of the upcoming week) "Each day is a new day. Presents a different challenge. But I think the stakes were pretty high against Arizona. I think the stakes were really high, and I thought our guys did a tremendous job. We left probably 10 points out there on the floor with maybe shots that were too quick or turning the ball over when we had opportunities to score. We left those out there. Some defensive situations where we had them stopped, the shot clock runs down and we foul at the end of the shot clock, give them new life. But I thought our guys did a really good job. And I say that to say that the stakes were high then, and I thought – we didn't win the game – but I thought we approached it the right way. There's not a reason for me to think that we're going to take a step back in that regard. I'm not telling you we're going to go undefeated, but I feel like this team now has become a team that we can count on. That's how I feel about it."
(Has there been a low point this season where you were concerned about how the team might respond?) "Maybe after the Bahamas, when we had lost two in a row there. but I think we responded the next game. We played Charlotte in the final game there. but guys were down. After we lost two in a row, guys were really down. And we had to make a quick turnaround the next day. But I thought our guys responded well. Throughout the course of the year, there are highs and lows, and you have to console guys, keep guys going, rally guys up. But this group has been special that way. We haven't been down for very long."
(What did you see that made you think that way, that maybe you haven't seen since?) "Well, it's like we told our team in the beginning. When you first start practicing, everybody's going to conquer the world. Man, we're a great team. Rah-rah, team. But then when you don't get as many shots as you thought you were going to get, you don't get as much playing time as you thought you were going to get – on top of that, you lose a game or two, and you thought you could have helped the team – that's when teams can start to possibly lose that chemistry a little bit. But we didn't see that. We didn't see that with our group."
(On Noah Dickerson's absence impacting the game) "I thought it played a huge part. I heard some comments that Sean Miller made about Allonzo Trier, that even though he didn't score a lot, his presence might have made the difference in the game. With Noah, you talk about the physicality, he might be our most physical post man. He probably is, out of the guys who are playing. Not only that, I think he scored in double-digits against Arizona the first time. So to not have him in there took away a little bit from the team that we could be. But you've got to find a way."
(On if his foot injury is bothering him to the point where it's hard for him to stay in front of guys) "I don't know if that's the case. Just a bad day at the office in terms of being able to stay on the floor."
(On the freshmen handling the cumulative effect of the Pac-12 schedule) "So far, so good. If the practices were still two and a half hours like earlier in the year, it might be a little more difficult. But as you move on, you want fresh legs, and practice times have been cut down considerably. So we try to not only keep their legs fresh, but their minds fresh, also, and their minds seem to be pretty fresh."
(On if UW's foul trouble has led to other guys getting more experience) "I don't know. I don't know if that benefit outweighs if the guys were really in there. there's no question we missed Noah. And then all the games that Marquese has fouled out – we are a different team with Marquese in the game, there's no question about it. He rebounds, he scores, he can stretch the defense, he can guard all five players on the floor. He's very unique in that regard. He blocks shots, he protects the rim. But he's been in foul trouble, and the benefit of somebody playing extra minutes I don't think outweighs having Marquese Chriss in the game."
(On if he thinks Pac-12 games are being officiated the same) "Pretty similar. The officials are doing what they're asked to do. … Sometimes the check of the monitor, I wish there was a way to be able to check it quicker. It seems like when I'm watching a game on television and they play the replay, 'oh, yeah, he fouled him.' That's it. Five seconds. I'm not an official, though."
(On signee Markelle Fultz flying to Seattle for the Arizona game) "He had been dying to come see a game. The beauty of Markelle Fultz is, with all the recognition, all the accolades he's received, he is so bought into Washington basketball. He's so bought into it. I think he just prodded and prodded and finally, 'I've got to get out there.' He wanted to come out here for this game, so he did it. And that's during his season. But he wanted to come out. He says he didn't want to leave when he was here. It was a good game for him to come to. I wish we could have won it."
(On if there seems to be more excitement about Fultz than some other high-profile recruits) "Remember, there's a mystique about him, because he's not from here. No one's seen him play up close, unless you were down at Les Schwab watching him play. So you hear a lot about what he's doing. You hear the highlights and you just wonder, man, we want to see him play. There are guys here that – Dejounte Murray, there was a lot of excitement about him. I remember Tony Wroten, when he was going to come here. Spencer Hawes, Jon Brockman. A lot of excitement, but you were able to get some sneak peeks in high school while they were here. Not with Markelle. So I guess the mystique grows more and more. But I think he walked up, as soon as he walked up, somebody recognized him – the students, the Dawg Pack were out there – they started chanting his name, and he thought that was pretty cool."
(On Utah's playing style) "They play a methodical, percentage-type game. They're going to change defenses to try to keep you off balance a little bit, but they're not going to get out and pressure you a whole lot. They're going to make you shoot hopefully low-percentage shots over a hand. Offensively, they're going to try to dictate the tempo and control the tempo, try to play inside-out. They've got Poeltl in there with a plethora of shooters around him. And then guys like (Kyle) Kuzma and (Chris) Reyes and Brekkot (Chapman), those guys, they can burn you. I watched them play against Oregon and Kuzma started out the game, he looked great. So they have a nice mix of what they're trying to do. And those guys stick to what they're trying to do with their philosophy and their system."

One popular yoshoku dish is katsudon. Made from pork slices dipped in flour, egg and Japanese bread crumbs, it's deep-fried until golden brown, and sliced into pieces that can be gripped with chopsticks. You can actually cook it at home, if you're so inclined.
But if you'd rather have a chef do it for you, Kimukatsu is one place you can visit. This restaurant takes the cooking process a step further by layering 25 pork slices on top of each other. As a result, their katsudon is tastier than usual, making them one of the most popular katsudon restaurants in Japan.
As for the other reasons they're popular, you're about to read them in the review below.
The Place
To date, Kimukatsu has three branches around the Metro: Shangri-la Plaza, Mandaluyong; Bonifacio High Street, Taguig; and Century City Mall, Makati. You can easily spot the last one, due to the life-size imitation of a red samurai armor near the entrance.
Inside, the restaurant greets you with its black-and-gold interiors, lending it an aura of simple elegance characteristic of Japanese aesthetics. It's formal enough to be a venue for business meetings, but also casual enough to be a place where you can bring family and friends for special occasions. There's also J-pop music playing in the background; it's loud enough to be audible, but soft enough not to be distracting.
At each table, you'll have a layout that looks something like this.
The Food
Kimukatsu's signature dish is also called, well, Kimukatsu. It's basically a set, with katsudon as its centerpiece. The katsudon comes in seven flavors: black pepper, cheese, garlic, negi shio, ume shio, yuzu kosyo and plain. To get to the core of what makes their signature dish special, we ordered the plain version (see first picture above).
The katsudon may be small (only around 150 grams, according to the waiters), but every bite is worth it. Even if you let it cool off for a while, it still tastes great. You'll enjoy it best if you dip it in the crushed black sesame seeds and tonkatsu sauce provided.
As for the rest of the set, it consists of rice, miso soup, shredded cabbage and Japanese pickles.
For the miso soup, you can order either the "red" or "white" version. The red miso is saltier, while the white one is lighter. We chose the red version, and it's as satisfying as you'd expect a soup to be. The shredded cabbage and pickles were also nice, and complemented the flavor of the katsudon very well.
Since we also wanted refreshments on the side, we ordered fresh buko juice and Shingen ice cream.
The Shingen ice cream, on the other hand, was a bit of a letdown. Sure, it wasn't too sweet, and it used uniquely Japanese ingredients like soy bean powder. But as far as ice cream goes, it doesn't taste like anything you can't buy from a store.
The Service
Like most Japanese restaurants, Kimukatsu offers exceptional service. As soon as you enter the restaurant, waiters will greet you "Irrashaimase!" and you'll be led to the most comfortable seat they can offer at the time of your visit.
We wouldn't say they serve orders "fast," but they definitely serve them within a reasonable time frame. They'll serve you the drinks first, before dishing out the Kimukatsu set on a piecemeal basis. Since that's the case, it's almost impossible to get impatient while waiting for your order.
As each order is served, the waiters will say "Sumimasen (Excuse me)," to show consideration for the fact that you might be occupied with other matters before you receive your order. They'll also ask you every now and then whether you enjoyed your meal.
The Verdict
If you're looking for katsudon in Makati City, give Kimukatsu a try. Aside from their tasty dishes, the ambience and service will blow you away. Try their signature product for yourself, and see if it won't convert you to Japanese cuisine in general.

Any military or extreme sports friends out there? This weekend I will be going to a race that my brother-in-law started called the Infantryman's Challenge. The Elite Course is 13 miles and 23 challenges including a 50lb Rucksack Run and Casualty Evacuation Drill! I am super excited to go watch again this year (no I will NOT be participating:)
Speaking of challenges, I have been getting an overwhelming response of freebie submissions that I'm having a hard time deciding which ones to feature! If you would like to see any specific kinds of freebies (math, language arts, games, anything!) please feel free to leave a comment below. This might help me be able to pick ones that are geared towards my audience (you all)! I'd love to know if I have more elementary or middle school/high school followers and what your needs are. For now I will keep posting a variety in hopes you will find something that works for you!
I have another great selection of freebies for you this week! Two fun ocean themed freebies, a beautiful clipart border set, a language arts center activity and a great little freebie on following directions!
Marci from Ripley's Reliable Resources came up with this fun product that contains everything you need for a research report in the classroom. It hits many of the Common Core Standards. All your students need to add is their research! I love that Marci included pre and post assessments with this freebie along with lots of fun and helpful graphic organizers.
This is an ocean ten frame matching game or center from Laura at Differentiation Station (love her store name). Students will match the ten frame, fingers, and number cards. Students can play memory or go fish with two sets of the cards, or match all three sets. After matching the chosen cards, students will complete the extension activity by counting the dots in the ten frame and writing the correct numeral in the box.
I LOVE these frames! I just used them in my latest product (which isn't completed yet) and they are just sooo cute! This set includes 12 frames in rainbow colors and line art. These graphics have 300 dpi resolution. Oxana from Teacher's Clipart makes all of her clipart sets for PERSONAL OR COMMERCIAL USE. I just purchased her USA States clipart which is awesome so be sure to check out the rest of her store while you are there.
Tara from Looneyslitblog created this set of task cards which are leveled to meet the needs of all learners grade levels 3-5. The cards are meant for independent practice after synonym and antonym skills are taught. This packet also includes suggestions for use. I think this one could make another great center activity!
What student couldn't use some practice on following directions? This is another one of my favorites by Erica Warren! Help your students develop their following directions skills! These fun, game-like activities also work on listening skills, tricky wording, sequencing, vocabulary, attention to detail, and more.
Bonus: Free Fonts for Facebook Fans!
Guess who finally joined Facebook? Deniece from This Little Piggy reads is a blogging friend of mine. Although we have never met I feel like I know her from reading all her fun blog posts and from all her help with my giveaway last month. She makes the cutest fonts! She just came up with these adorable fonts free for her new Facebook fans. Let's all show her some love and welcome her to Facebook with a "Like"! And while you're at it download these great fonts. Tell her Kelsea sent you;)

As we all know a mother's pride is her little bundle of joy. So it not surprising then that you are the most excited person in the world when you are told that your best friend is having a baby and you are her god mother. You cannot believe that you have being entrusted with such a responsible task. Even though you are not having a baby your life has changed with this new turn of events. You have to now make decisions with regard to the little one when he or she arrives.
Beautiful designs
So you make up your mind that you will buy whatever is needed for your best friend's confinement in advance. You remember a friend telling you of a place that purchase kids products close to your office. You decide to check outthe place and see what you can purchase prior to the new arrival. As you enter the shop the first thing that catches your eye is this beautifully designed baby cot. You notice the little animal carvings on the product. You also realise that if you purchase this product you get a rattle that comes as a complimentary gift. You are very impressed with this product and decide to purchase it immediately.
Free gift
You walk further into the shop and come across creams, powders, oils, combs, a joolz pram in Melbourne, shoes, and clothes and pampers. You decide that it would be good to purchase a set of these products and make things easier for your friend prior to her confinement the following week. The lady at the store tells you that if you purchase kids products over a certain value you would be entitled to a free gift. Your purchase is way over the stipulated rate so you get your free gift which turns out to be a little battery operated toy. The sales staff gives you a brochure of the new arrivals that are yet to come and tell you that when they arrive you will be notified by email. You are also informed by the store staff that if you register with the store you can even purchase goods on monthly instalment schemes.
Excellent customer service
You take your gifts to your best friend's place and she cannot believe that you have gone through so much trouble prior to her confinement. So now that you have found the ideal place to shop for kids' products you have nothing to worry about. You pass the word around about this store and the excellent customer service provided by the sales staff at all times.

Babies are weird.
...and by weird I mean cute little bundles of lovies who tug at your ovaries and scream at you for only having one.
I love babies. I love their curled up fingers, their long and awkward feet, the way their hands almost always curl up to their cheeks for reasons that I will never know, but it's pretty damn cute. Their little cries, their hair, the SMELL. Have you ever smelled a new baby? One that doesn't have crap in its pants I mean of course.
The way they can pee in their own eye, their little diapers and clothes, and the way they look at you, as if nobody else in the world exists. Their little eyes, barely blinking, gazing at you lovingly, until you realize they are a breast-fed baby and they really are just sizing up your boobs thinking how great that meal could be. Babies just don't get it.
The truth is, I'm afraid of babies. Really afraid. I'm afraid of their necks and how floppy it is, I'm afraid of dropping them and their mom beating me up and I'm afraid of getting barfed/pooped/peed on.
I probably won't hold your baby unless you plop the thing in my arms, which is usually what happens. I'm much more content shaking their hand with my pointer finger, or making silly faces and cooing at them. Holding babies freaks me out, not to mention it makes my arms tired. I often wonder how my arms were not like those of Michelle Obama's arms when I had a baby of my own.
Today I realized I didn't know how old I was. Somebody asked me and I answered 27, no wait 28. I was hoping I was 27, but soon realized I was 28. How does that happen? Where does the time go? I had Mason when I was 23 years old. I wanted to be done having kids by the time I'm 30. Now realizing that I am 28, going to be 29 soon, I realize that goal is never going to happen.
and it's kind of sad.
I mean, I made a pretty cute kid.
He was an adorable baby.
I should be making more.
Heck I should make like a whole bunch of them and sell them like Cabbage Patch Kids
...but that would be wrong.
...but I bet I'd be rich, and famous.
You may be wondering where this is all coming from.
Why is this girl off her rocker today?
What is wrong with her hormones?
I held a baby.
A cute baby who looks just like his cute older brother did three years ago. I held this baby (after he was plopped down in my arms) and he stared at me the whole time, which I realized later was probably because my eye makeup was kind of runny and I looked like a hooker. I hate when hooker makeup ruins beautiful moments.
He was tiny, and cute, and he smelled divine. Have you ever looked really closely at a baby's wrinkly little hand? Or their fuzzy hair or the little white dots on their noses.
Hello..this is my blog. I bought this fancy theme and I don't know what to write here just yet. Maybe one day remind me I have to write something inspiring here?
