The minimum age to join the club or to participate in club activity is 7 on the day
Newcomers under the age of 11 divide broadly into two categories
A parent or a responsible adult must remain at the club for each under-11 during the whole training session. This is for the welfare of your child and the other children.
Group 1 - General athletics is for the new or undecided.
In this group, children can have a go at all sorts of exercises and competitions running, throwing and jumping until age 11, when they can go forward on to specialise a bit more in their chosen activities with the older groups.
Group 2
Group 1 General Athletic "run-jump-throw" sessions for u-11s
These sessions are all on Tuesdays & Thursdays generally 1 hour from 5.30pm to 6.30pm at the Canterbury Academy track :
In both cases this includes warm-up, training and warm-down and boys & girls train together in ability groups. Children's attendance is variable, depending on other commitments.
Group 2 distance running sessions for u11s
Intensity of Coaching
Whichever group your child joins, in principle, the club favours group coaching for the young.
One-on-one training/coaching is discouraged until late teens when the athlete is in a better position to make independent, informed choices. Until then, the emphasis is fun among a group of youngsters of their own age, interest and ability.
Trying us out - how to join
The club offers three free taster sessions then you are required to join via the MEMBERSHIP tab on the website.
There is no need to book ahead for a taster session just turn up at the designated time and sign in with the appropriate coach.
What you need to bring
For each child bring
Do not spend lots of money on special trainers or spikes until your child really likes the sport and you have spoken to the coach.
Club vests and T-shirts are now on sale between 6-7pm at the Club or from The Running Outlet, 54 Palace Street, Canterbury CT1 2DY.
Club vests must be worn when entering competitions.
Summer Competitions
Winter Competitions
Coaches will advise you of the dates for these in advance and can usually be found on the website under Fixtures Tab or on notices in the Clubhouse.
Guidelines for parents of Under 11s
Our u11s group continues to grow larger and larger. To help the coaches make the session enjoyable and safe to all and to keep the session running on time we ask that parents & carers remind children of the following:
Helping Out
Our coaches are volunteers who would also appreciate any offers of help from parents to assist in a session, especially if the group is particularly large. Please offer your services.

Hello dear Mesut,
a lovely scene and an interesting juxtaposition between the adults' and children's worlds. I like very much how the little girl is enjoying herself, having probably created a story out of the immediate surroundings, with her as the heroine. The people and buildings in the background provide strong contrast. A rich composition with superb sharpness and depth. I marvel at the children's being oblivious of the cold and playing outside without jackets:) Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely evening,

Hello Mesut,
Cute girls enjoying themselves in Santa's sled while their parents maybe are enjoying themselves with a cup of warm sweet wine. The "Glühteufel" seems to attract quite a crowd. The wine may make Christmas shopping more enjoyable.
Kind regards,
thanks for sharing with us this Christmas

For 364 days a year, all that matters is what kind of music YOU like. But on Sunday, when the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards show comes on, it is the opinion of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States that counts.
We crunched the numbers, evaluated the contenders and channeled the academy's decision-making process to figure out who will win and who will be left sitting there in the audience, trying to hide their shame, rage and disappointment. Here's what we came up with for the Song of the Year category.
For your reference, Song of the Year is the category that rewards the songwriter, as opposed to Record of the Year, which rewards the producers, engineers, and mixers. When you think about it, AutoTune should really win the latter award every year. Let's go to our nominees! THE CONTENDERS
"Pretty Wings," by Maxwell
The Breakdown: Maxwell disappeared for eight years before returning this year. Where did Maxwell go? Did he go to remote China and train with deadly monks to become a crimefighter? Did he flee the United States on forgery charges? Did he freak out and quit music to become a cobbler? All good guesses, but wrong. What was Maxwell doing the past eight years? MASTERING THE ART OF SEDUCTION. VERDICT: Loser
"Use Somebody," by Kings of Leon
The Breakdown: The Kings will probably end up taking home a statue in the Rock Group Performance category and miss out here. The band has a cool backstory. All of the members of the band are related. Three of them are brothers who grew up traveling with their dad, a Pentacostal preacher. But their father soon left the church and divorced their mom, and the boys moved to Nashville to become rock stars. VERDICT: Loser
"You Belong With Me," by Taylor Swift
The Breakdown: I keep thinking Swift is poised to dominate these awards, given her enormous stardom and her poise and grace in the face of it all. But I can't get past the fact that her songs are really meant for kids and not Grammy voters. Plus, peep these lyrics:
She wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're lookin for has been here the whole time
Oh, please. YOU'RE A ROCK STAR, LADY. You really expect me to picture you as the school wallflower? VERDICT: Loser
"Poker Face," by Lady Gaga
The Breakdown: I expect this song to take home Record of the Year honors. But it won't win in this category, and you're about to find out why. VERDICT: Loser.
"Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)," by Beyonce
The Breakdown: This song was NOT nominated for Record of the Year, replaced there by Beyonce's "Halo," which doesn't make much sense to me. Regardless, this really was the song of the year. It's impeccably written and produced, and it deserves the trophy. No one else stands a chance. Beyonce, come and get your gold. VERDICT: WINNER!

Virtue, Moir sit in second after Olympic ice dance short
SOCHI, Russia
To conspiracy theorists, Sunday's ice dance short program offered proof that there is a foul smell in the air around the Iceberg Skating Palace.
Remember that piece in the French sports paper L'Equipe last week, which suggested that there is a deal afoot — the Americans were going to prop up the Russians in the team figure skating event and the Russians would respond in kind in the ice dance?
Well, for those who bought into that unsubstantiated report, Sunday's ice dance offered "evidence" that the deal was real, even though there is no proof whatsoever of a nefarious agreement.
The world's top two ice dance couples — defending world champions Meryl Davis and Charlie White of the U.S. and defending Olympic champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir of Canada — both skated magnificent short programs. But when the marks were shaken down, the American team came out ahead by roughly 21/2 points (78.89-76.33), and are in the driver's seat to win the gold medal on Monday night following the freedance skate. The Americans' score was a world record.
So did the Americans get unfair, inflated scores? Marina Zoueva, the coach and choreographer of both teams, certainly didn't suggest as much. For that matter, neither did the Canadian duo, who have a unique perspective coming into these Games. Virtue and Moir have embraced an attitude of live and let live here. Sure, they want the gold in a big way. But their real goal in Sochi is to skate their very best and let the chips fall where they may.
In fact, when asked following their short if they could win the gold medal on Monday night, Moir replied rather indifferently: "Who knows?"
Added Virtue: "We sat in the Kiss&Cry (after the short) and looked at each other and said 'It doesn't matter.' Because that was the moment we wanted to have."
That moment being their excellent performance in the short, which they felt — and many others agreed — was the best they've performed it this season.
The difference in the scores between the top two teams came to the mark the Canadians received for their Finn steps sequence, which was a Level Three mark, while they were awarded Level Fours (the top mark) in all their other components, twizzles, lifts and step sequences. The Americans received all Level Fours.
Not many actually saw any missteps by Virtue and Moir, not even their coach, but the good news for the Canadian pair is that their mark in the short (76.33) was almost four full marks better than their mark for the short at last week's team competition. So clearly, their program is on the upswing. The big question, though, is can they catch Davis and White? Their coach thinks they can.
"In the freedance you have more chance to get more points," said the Russian born Zoueva, who trains both the American and Canadian duos out of the Detroit area. "What they have to do is focus and get points. They will be fine."
Zoueva said she "felt comfortable" from beginning to end watching the performance by Virtue and Moir.
"For me it was absolutely clean, absolutely nice, and they did the best this program could be done," said Zoueva. "Because it was truly dance, it was joy, and very strong from beginning to the end. I smile all dance."
Of course, Zoueva also had high praise for her other team, Davis and White.
"They fly. They just fly," she said, in her thick Russian accent. "Strong, but at same time so light and so flowing and very, very natural. You see how strong they are, but you didn't see any moment when you can see they have forced it. It was really, really great dance."
"Excellent is a word to describe it. I felt like I was in a dream. Everything is coming together," added Davis.
Even though the Americans have a 2 1/2 point advantage, the Olympic ice dance competition is developing into what skating fans were hoping for — whichever team wins Monday's freedance will likely win the gold.
And one thing's for sure, all eyes will be on the judges to see if the scoring is skewed in any way.
The Russian duo of Elena Ilnykh and Nikita Katsalapov are third (73.04).
The Kitchener-Waterloo based team of Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje are seventh (65.93) while Alexandra Paul and Mitchell Islam of the Barrie Skating Club are 18th (55.91).
Defending Olympic ice dance champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir had a full week to work on their programs.
The Detroit-based pair competed in the team program last weekend, helping Canada win a silver medal, and then had six days before their individual event began Sunday.
For Moir, it was an agonizing wait.
"It was awful," said the Ilderton, Ont., native. "The skating was fine. But to be honest I've been twiddling my thumbs. I didn't think six days could last any longer than they did and this morning I woke up with a big smile on my face."
Moir, 26, said he is enjoying the experience of living in the athletes village, but skaters at the Olympics are not used to waiting a week between events.
"It's funny because we're living the dream right now. We're in the Olympic village, I'm surrounded by a lot of the guys I grew up playing hockey with, and a lot of sports stars, long-track speed skaters, curlers, people I've admired for years," he said. "But I was just miserable. I just wanted my chance, I wanted to be out there, I wanted to be on the stage. It was a long wait, it's something that we don't usually have. You wouldn't want to have been a family member of mine those last couple of days."
Virtue, a native of London, Ont., said they felt they would perform a great short program Monday following practice earlier in the day.
"It's interesting because after practice (Monday) morning, we have to walk through this mixed zone (where the media wait for interviews) and I came by here and it was empty and I was visualizing how I wanted to feel when I stood in front of you guys tonight."
"So how close was it?" asked Moir.
"It's even better (than I visualized)," she said.

Rap Genius' co-founder Mahbod Moghadam isn't afraid to say what's on his mind.In an interview with tech newsletter Wakefield, Mahbod ripped Mark Zuckerberg and the New York Times with pretty vulgar language.
Rap Genius is a site that annotates rap lyrics but it has ambitions to become much bigger. It raised $15 million in funding from venture firm Andreessen Horowitz, and its objective is to provide annotations for just about everything on the web.
In the interview with Wakefield, Moghadam talks about how he got in trouble with Mark Zuckerberg:
Apparently Zuck never leaves his house because he's so afraid of people photographing him, and then our investor – his house is one of the only places where Zuck feels safe – so our investor invited Zuck and Nas over. They were chilling together, and I asked if I could take a photo. He was like "Let's hold off, let's hold off," and I just couldn't resist – I was drunk, and I went paparazzi and Instagrammed it, and I didn't even think it would be a thing.
Photo: Theybf/Instagram
Zuckerberg was upset after the press picked up the photo and told Moghadam to take the photo down. He took the photo down and apologized to Zuckerberg. But he doesn't seem particularly contrite about it:We wrote a letter of apology and I feel sorry. I regret taking it, I hope this has taught me some maturity, it certainly got me in a lot of trouble. But then on the other hand, f— that fool – that's Nas the Don. It's not like I'm taking a picture of him smoking weed.
He also had some choice words for the New York Times:
They talked mad s— about us and said we were Orientalists or whatever, but honestly they can suck my d— because they're Carlos Slim's ho.
So, uh, yeah, there's that. He reiterated his stance at the end of the interview saying:
Alright so I told you the New York Times is Carlos Slim's ho, I told you Zuck can suck my d—, what else is there? You know it's all about the love, I don't know why I'm being this aggressive.
Read the whole thing, there's much more to enjoy, at Wakefield >

By DOUGLAS JORDAN
Michael Louis McIntosh stood next to his attorney with his head down as Judge Howard Maltz told him Friday morning that he would spend the rest of his life in prison.
"The testimony that came out during trial revealed that your conduct was nothing short of despicable," Maltz told him. "By your actions, you've sentenced the victims in this case to a life sentence of emotional turmoil that can't be undone.
"Your conduct has demonstrated that you do not deserve to walk this earth as a free man. With my sentence today, I'm going to assure that that's the case."
In all, McIntosh, 32, of St. Augustine, received seven life sentences, three of which were to be served consecutively. He was found guilty Thursday of eight felony counts of sexual misconduct with children.
After the judge pronounced the sentences, McIntosh's parents, siblings and other family members erupted into tears. The victims and their families also were crying, with one of the victims shaking as a relative consoled him.
The prosecution and the defense each brought forth witnesses to speak before the sentencing.
The two victims, who had testified Wednesday that McIntosh performed sexual acts on them when they were as young as 6 years old, spoke to the judge again Friday, each pausing several times throughout their statements, their voices warbling with emotion.
One victim told the judge that McIntosh had made death threats to warn against telling of the abuse. That victim said the conviction was a relief, adding that, "Now I can rest in peace. I feel free now."
The St. Augustine Record does not publish the names of victims of sex crimes.
One victim's grandmother also told the judge that she was disheartened that her grandchild's religious faith had been shaken by the actions of the defendant, whom she said "will have to answer to God for what he did."
When it came time for the defense witnesses to speak, Maltz listened as McIntosh's closest family members - his father, brother, two sisters and a nephew - spoke lovingly of him, saying that the Michael McIntosh they knew was incapable of those crimes.
McIntosh's father, Donald McIntosh, told the judge that his son, as well as his family, had been "truly hurt by the outcome of this trial."
"We know in our hearts that our son is not the man portrayed in our judicial system," Donald McIntosh said. "We can hug our son, and feel no shame."
Michael McIntosh fought back tears for most of the proceeding, eventually breaking down during testimony by his elder brother, James McIntosh, who was also crying and concluded by saying, "I am still proud of my baby brother and always will be."
When defense attorney Jason Porter called McIntosh to speak to the judge, McIntosh shuffled slowly, head down, as he made his way to the podium. The sobbing that had been near constant throughout the proceeding - from both the defendant's and the victims' sides of the courtroom - stopped as all waited to hear what he would say.
But McIntosh, who had been struggling to contain tears through much of the testimony, was too distraught to speak, so he had his attorney read his statement. McIntosh recalled growing up in a close, loving family, "where help was just down the hallway," and thanked them for standing behind him.
"(My family) taught me that no one was disposable, that happens to one member of the family affects the rest," he wrote. "I can't possibly list all the ways you all have supported me, but my gratitude is infinite. All your letters and cards, phone calls and visits, just to name a few, it helped to make these times more bearable."
Of eight guilty verdicts, he was given seven life sentences, three of which will be served consecutively. He was also sentenced to 15 years on one of the convictions. McIntosh has 30 days to appeal the judgments and sentences.

The pediatric neurologists, neurophysiologists, and other specialists at Nemours Children's Specialty Care, Jacksonville provide comprehensive care in the evaluation and treatment epilepsy in children. We encourage kids with epilepsy to participate as fully as possible in school and all the other activities that help kids be kids, and so they can enjoy a childhood that's as promising and playful as anyone else's.
To provide the most complete care possible for your child, we partner with experts at the Pediatric Epilepsy Center at nearby Wolfson Children's Hospital. In addition to traditional therapies, we provide an epilepsy surgery program that's one of the only programs of its kind in Florida. The rarely-performed procedure isolates or removes the part of the brain that's causing the seizures.
If your child is having seizures, it's important to provide as much information as possible about the episode(s). A Nemours pediatric neurologist or other specialist will review this information and your child's medical history, and perform a thorough neurological examination. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), or other kind of scan may be needed, too. These can easily be arranged at Wolfson Children's Hospital right next door to our clinic.
If your child is diagnosed with epilepsy, our goal will be to control the condition and minimize the impact of seizures on daily life. We treat all children as we would our own — so they can play, dream, and grow with the fewest possible disruptions.
No single treatment for epilepsy works for every child. So the neurological specialists at Nemours Children's Specialty Care, Jacksonville will consider all the unique factors that contribute to your child's condition.
We may recommend one or more of these kinds of treatments:
- Anti-seizure medications: Most kids respond well to this kind of therapy. Finding just the right medication and dosage may involve some adjustments and fine-tuning.
- Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS): A small long-lasting battery device similar to a pacemaker is implanted in your child's chest. A tiny wire connects to the vagus nerve, which leads to the brain. The device delivers short bursts of electricity at regular intervals, which may help reduce the frequency and severity of your child's seizures. Implanting the VNS device requires an overnight stay at our neighboring partner, Wolfson Children's Hospital, and can easily be arranged by our Nemours Children's Specialty Care, Jacksonville neurology team.
- Epilepsy surgery: If other treatments don't work for your child, the neurologists at our Jacksonville clinic, partnering with neurosurgeons at Wolfson Children's Hospital, can evaluate your child for possible epilepsy surgery. Surgeons isolate or remove a small section of brain tissue, where the abnormal electrical surges, which cause the seizures, come from. The surgery can go a long way toward relieving or reducing the effects of seizures without impairing your child's intellectual, reasoning, or other cognitive abilities. Download a fact sheet with more information about epilepsy surgery.

Dear Emuna,
We are generally a very close and happy couple. However, there is one thing that is getting in the way. My husband is much more active and excited with intimacy than I am. It's not that I don't enjoy it but it would never come naturally for me to initiate, and he is very disturbed by this. I know that I feel very emotionally together so I don't think that is the problem. I do however feel pressured due to the fact that I just don't get it right for him. I care about him and love him tremendously and it hurts me that I can't seem to do what he wants. How can I help myself? Also, people talk about finding a good therapist but how would I go about looking for someone who can help me in this area?
Eager to Please
Dear Eager to Please,
In the world at large, there is a lot of talk about the physical act but very few discussions of intimacy; a lot of instructions for maximizing physical pleasure and very little about creating deep emotional bonds. The bombardment of sexual imagery and innuendo overwhelms and confuses us. It creates certain expectations about what the experience should be like and makes many of us feel like we are missing out on something.
This is a destructive and inaccurate message. I am venturing a guess that your husband is responding to these cues. He thinks that in order to have the best experience, you should initiate it. He needs a gentle education in true intimacy and the fallacy of Hollywood-style romance.
The two of you should set aside time for a real discussion of yourselves, your desires, your drives and your expectations.
Focus him on the ultimate goal – a deep and profound connection. Discuss your desire to give to him and (hopefully) his to give to you. Talk about the differences between women's sexuality and men's. Yes, it needs to be said; this understanding cannot be taken for granted.
We live in a hook-up culture where young women pretend that their desire operates the same way as a man's – until they are hurt and depressed when a relationship doesn't develop from these physical encounters.
Men (particularly single ones) have a vested interest in believing this myth. And married men may have bought into it as well. Explain to your husband that this is not the way that you (or most women) work and how you much you wish he wouldn't let this fantasy get in the way of your real relationship.
If he is an open, caring and supportive spouse, he will understand and respond accordingly. If he doesn't then I recommend professional help – for more than just your intimate life.
Mean Friend
Dear Emuna, I am 59 years old and I am trying to study to be a chemistry teacher. I have a dear friend who constantly puts me down and embarrasses me in front of other women at synagogue, by telling me how to act. Just recently, she has met another woman who is her friend and she wants me to be friends with this other woman. Unfortunately, when the two of them are together, they ignore me unless I do something wrong. Then both of them reprimand me in public. I am thinking of staying away from shul because I am shy and I want to hide from them and the other women. I am probably jealous of this woman's new friend and my friend says that I have to be friends with this other woman, or our friendship is finished. In addition, this same friend has told me I should quit my job and think of retiring instead of trying to be a chemistry teacher. I am thinking of dumping her as a friend, but I do not have anyone else to be friends with. What should I do?
Lonely Friend
Dear Lonely Friend,
Your letter made me sad. I hear that you are lonely. But sometimes we are just as lonely in certain relationships as we are without them. In this case, the destructive nature of this relationship far outweighs any benefits (none of which have you described).
In fact I'm not quite sure why you call her a friend, let alone a dear one. She doesn't seem to have your best interests at heart. She doesn't support your dreams. She manipulates you and is publicly critical. I think you should take some time to reflect why you have chosen this relationship.
And then I think you should get out fast. It is better to be lonely for a little while – and wait patiently to meet someone who will appreciate your good and cheer you on – than to stay in such a destructive "friendship."
It's not Facebook but I would unfriend her asap.
Criticizing or Helping?
Dear Emuna,
My husband complains that I'm always criticizing him – and begs me to stop. But I can't help myself. I see him eat something unhealthy and I worry about the future. I hear him say something foolish and I'm concerned how it will affect his career. I'm just trying to help him be the best he can be. Isn't that a wife's job?
Good Wife
Dear Good Wife,
Let me first take issue with your statement: "I can't help myself." Of course you can. Don't use that as an excuse to stick with destructive behavior.
While I believe you that your intentions are good, you are causing pain to your husband. Unless he lives in a cave (a real one, not a "man-cave"), he knows which foods are healthy and which are not. He is an adult and he is making a choice. You have to respect this and keep your mouth shut. You can certainly provide tasteful healthy options at home but that's where your job ends.
Criticism, whether meant as an expression of love or not, is still criticism. And that's how it is experienced. The same applies to his conversation. Unless he asks for advice, just smile politely. He will presumably get the message from the other party's response.
Our husbands need our support, not our condemnation. If change does become necessary, it will only occur in that kind of safe environment.

A report today claims (SPANISH) former Chicago Fire striker Diego Chaves has signed for Chilean Primera División side Palestino. On a one-year contract with the Fire in 2011, the Uruguayan striker officially leaves the club having tallied six goals and one assist over 29 regular season matches in 2011.
He also scored the game winner in a 1-0 win over the Rochester Rhinos in a 2011 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup third round match, played June 28.
"Diego Chaves was signed for the 2011 campaign," said Fire head coach Frank Klopas. "We had conversations with Diego throughout the offseason, however, with recent signings of Rafael Robayo and Federico Puppo coming into the fold it became difficult to bring him back. We wish him the best with his new club."
Chaves became the first player in club history to score in each of his first three regular season appearances and also tallied late game-winners in consecutive end-of-season matches, a 2-1 come-from-behind victory October 15 at DC United and a 3-2 win October 22 vs. Columbus.

Does anyone remember the one at home vs India, about 5 years ago? It was a huge turner, which I think bowled a guy behind his legs. I'd like to get hold of it on tape or something.
Other than that...Off the top of my head.
1- The Gatting ball.
2- Todays Strauss.
3- Gooch bowled behind his legs in the same game as Gatting I think.
4 -The Gibbs world cup 99 ball.
5- When he bowled a Pakistani, actually through his legs about 10 years ago I think now.
6- The Richie Richardson classic flipper.
7- Chanderpaul bowled out of the rough in Australia.
What others spring to mind?

"One of the most rewarding elements of teaching is watching students have those moments of realization that something they're learning in class has significance for the choices they make in their own lives."
Psychology professor Melissa Fortner aspires to promote her students' understanding of humanity, and that begins with an understanding of themselves and their relationship to the world.
"Such understanding requires a cultivation of critical thinking, honest introspection, and communication skills," she says.
Fortner cultivated those skills during her own undergraduate days at Transylvania, where she completed a double major in psychology and philosophy. Eight years later, in 2004, she returned to her alma mater, where she now helps students grapple with questions about how society shapes individuals, and how gender-, race-, and class-based systems of privilege affect all Americans.
The ultimate goal, says Fortner, is to help students develop as autonomous, authentic, life-long learners who are mindfully and ethically engaged in the world.

Master Grade Tallgeese II finished build log
Motivation strikes once again!
I've noticed my favorite "II" mobile suits keep ending up as webshop exclusives, and I, in my infinite wisdom, have purchased all of them. The White Dingo GM Sniper II, the Tallgeese II, and I've already put the money down on the Crossbone Gundam X-2. Hopefully, spending lots of money on this stuff won't be a problem soon *hint hint*. Anyway, I'm glad this came out when it did, otherwise I was going to restore my old 1/100 kit and well, that hasn't stood the test of time. The new Master Grade Tallgeese may not be perfect, but it's awesome nonetheless.
The new Tallgeese Master Grade, be it the I or the II, is beautiful in its Katoki-designed glory. Sure, the suit was always a Katoki design, but never before were we able to get a more faithful recreation of the lineart. Really, until the Master Grades became a thing, Katoki's designs never really translated well into kit form.
First, let's talk about the verniers. The two massive boosters are mounted onto the back of the torso, as opposed to the backs of the shoulders. Now, there are still some mobility issues however, and there has been some paint scraping, but overall, it's not very noticeable. It does affect articulation, however.
The boosters are basically all linked together and open to reveal four smaller boosters. The same can even be done for the ones on the rear skirt.
I like how the shield and gun both connect to the shoulders via a connecting mechanism like on the old kit, but with a door to close when not in use this time. There are enough joints here to actually allow for the shield and rifle to be held.
Speaking of the rifle, it has this weird spring loaded gimmick that I'm not sure I understand. I think it's to simulate what the rifle looks like while firing, but I can't find any use for it outside of a diorama, so I'll keep it in the extended position.
The Shield looks awesome, especially with the decals. It can easily be held in the left hand, and contains two beam sabers. Both of which use the slanted blade some of the other Wing suits come with.
Unfortunately, the very design of the Tallgeese results in some limited poseability in the legs. That's overcome thanks to some creative use of joints, namely in the hip armor. The hip armor is attached to the hips at the skirt and the thighs to keep it stationary while the rest of it moves.
Oh, and if you're doing the TGII, be prepared to paint the feet black. For whatever reason, these were left gray. I don't quite understand it…
Also included is a piece for mounting it on an action base, but hey, everything uses those these days!
Oh, and another thing! Getting it into the trademark "hands on the gun" pose is not easy, and I have no clue how to properly do it…
Really, the Tallgeese kit is a lot of fun, regardless of whether or not you have the I or II. It comes highly recommended by me, and if you want one, you should make sure to look for the Tallgeese I at FPNYC!

NYPD Program Spied on Muslims for Six Years, Generated No Leads
It turns out that a New York Police Department program that assembled large databases on the ordinary activities of innocent Muslims, infiltrated student groups, and monitored sermons wasn't just controversial—it was useless. As the Associated Press reports, the head of the NYPD's Intelligence Division recently confirmed in a deposition that the Department's "Demographics Unit"—a delightful euphemism for a team dedicated to spying predicated wholly on ethnicity, language, and religion—turned up no useful leads and gave rise to no terrorism investigations in its six years of operation.
At the risk of being a broken record, this is a reminder of how misleading it can be to discuss these topics under the rubric of "balancing liberty and security." If government surveillance performs as advertised and yields a substantial security benefit, there's a debate to be had over how much government intrusion we're prepared to countenance as the price of that security. But that security benefit has to be proven, not assumed. If it can't be demonstrated—and a fortiori, if all available evidence demonstrates there is no benefit—then it just should not be a serious question in a decent society whether it's acceptable for police to keep tabs on all Urdu-speakers of Pakistani origin on the premise (endorsed by this official) that "most" of them are people "of concern" to the government. Just to put that "most" in context: There are some 15 million Pakistani Urdu-speakers worldwide, and about 50,000 legal residents of Pakistani descent in the New York metro area. Treating them all, by default, as potential terrorists who need to be watched would be offensive and ugly even if the policy occasionally yielded a useful piece of information. But to squander scarce law enforcement resources targeting a minority population without any useful results over six years? How can that be anything but obscene?

The Labor Day Statement of the USCCB has appeared, and offers important thoughts for Christians navigating the challenges of the Great Recession. Writing in his capacity as Chair of the USCCB Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development, Bishop Stephen Blaire of Stockton reminds us that over 12 million are unemployed; that some ten million families are among the "working poor"; that 46 million Americans, including 16 million children, live in poverty. He gently admonishes our contemporary political culture, noting that "in the current political campaigns, we hear much about the economy, but almost nothing about the moral imperative to overcome pervasive poverty in a nation still blessed with substantial economic resources and power."
And at a time when some seem intent on invoking subsidiarity mainly to slash the social safety net, Bishop Blaire also offers a pointed Labor Day observation.
Unions are a sign of subsidiarity by forming associations of workers to have a voice, articulate their needs, and bargain and negotiation with large economic institutions and structures of government. Like other institutions, including religious, business and civic groups, unions sometimes fall short of this promise and responsibility….When labor institutions fall short, it does not negate Catholic teaching in support of unions and the protection of working people, but calls out for renewed focus and candid dialogue on how to best defend workers. Indeed, economic renewal that places working people and their families at the center of economic life cannot take place without effective unions.
It means more than the recipients deserve and/or more than the government should pay under the given economic conditions. The private sector pays what it can afford to pay, and it is usually tied to productivity and contribution to revenue generation; the public sector can pay whatever it bilks from the taxpayers regardless of productivity. I've worked in both sectors doing similar jobs, and the thought that I could have been paid in the public sector even nearly what I made in the private sector (I made about a third), along with the benefits, makes me laugh.
But the point is that public unions do not have an adversary against whom to negotiate as do private sector unions. When the money runs out, more is borrowed (against future tax revenues), printed (at taxpayers' expense), or taxes are raised. That's why federal salaries are soaring and one of the reasons Dems seek to raise taxes.
Twenty-first century working conditions are very different. Much of the labor force is unskilled and easily replaceable. Many workers contract directly with their customers. A lot of work can be outsourced to countries where it can be done for very low wages. Modern law requires employers to pay high overhead on permanent employees (specifically, health insurance.) And the unemployment rate is nine percent.
Maybe it's progress that the Church thinks we're all living in the nineteenth century. At least they've noticed we're not serfs anymore.
I am not going to mention any of that because to mention it is to invite a barrage of "facts" that Leo XIII anticipated and answered more than a century ago.
You must be talking about the US automobile, steel and airline industries. These are some of the industries that have been made rich by their union members.
''nor that historically when union wages went up everyone's wages went up. ''
This is the first I ever heard this and it is hard to understand how this could happen but maybe it did. Maybe some references and examples would help us on this. I have never seen high union wages discussed as a way to raise non union wages. I have seen just the opposite but there are always counter examples one does not know about.
I know that during the depression first with Hoover and then with Roosevelt there were very conscious overt efforts to keep wages high. The theory was that these high wages would stimulate demand by their spending and increase GDP and stabilize the economy. It didn't work that way as the high wages put pressures on business as their costs became very high and the subsequent product prices were too high for all the unemployed to buy. Sales went down, and a lot union employees were then laid off to join the non union people who couldn't find work because of union requirements. This was one of the causes of continued high unemployment through the Depression. Not the only one but a major cause of low employment.
In 1970's there was tremendous inflation and as a result union contracts led to higher wages that were required because of the rising prices. This sent wages into an upward spiral but they did not buy more. There was little or no growth in GDP during this time as we had the term ''stagflation.'' This was the end of union dominance in the country as unions declined sharply after 1980 and the economy began to grow again as the US started the long turn from primarily a manufacturing economy to a service economy and a lot of the manufacturing was becoming more automated requiring less workers.
''Nor am going to mention that if better pay for the middle class automatically means less money for the poor,''
Who said that better pay for the middle class automatically means less money for the poor? Better pay in the private sector is a result of demand for labor and little else so one would expect wages for everyone to rise if the middle class got better off. But in the public sector a different dynamic is often at work as wages are frequently not set by supply and demand but by intervention that is often out of the sight of those that pay. Higher wages in this environment for public servants means less money for the poor as it takes money out of public budgets which could better be used elsewhere, including maybe the poor or even employing them. They are even laying the public servants off in lots of places now in order to fund the ''Cadillac'' benefit plans of retired and senior public service workers. So the public servants not only eat the poor they also eat their own and usually with little remorse.
I personally know of an example where about 20 people were laid off from public service jobs because they were junior while the senior people got raises. If all the public service workers in this locality took 10 % wage and benefit cuts they would have been able to employ all the laid off people and then a lot of people receiving unemployment and other benefits would then be working and all the others would still have good salaries. It is kind of hard to imagine any pope supporting those making very good salaries when they are hurting the poor.
''it is to invite a barrage of ''facts'' ''
Facts never hurt anyone here. Maybe we should see some of these facts. I realize a lot of what is presented here is opinion but never thought that facts were something to be avoided.
Cosgrove has recycled his tired and unsubstantiated figures on this blog many times. I provided university studies; he provided WSJ and Cato "studies." No need to go through that again. It's a nice day (finally) and time to enjoy the weather.
Interesting response to an analysis of government data. I too am somewhat skeptical of government data sometimes but having been in academia for awhile am really skeptical of university studies. Somewhere above someone asked for facts but my guess is that facts are to the left like water was to the Wicked Witch of the West, something to be avoided at all cost. It seems to be replaced by nothing but rhetoric and the throwing of ad hominems.
And by the way it has been an absolutely gorgeous week here on the New Jersey shore.
Mr. DiIulio should be a big advocate of the Tea Party which wants a smaller government and little influence by large organizations with their money on government policy. The only way to rid the country of this rent seeking behavior is to reduce the size of government and its laws which are often set up to favor the few versus the many. But I doubt that is what Mr. DiIulio wants. It certainly is not what Mr. Sinyai wants.
Also unions by their very nature are exclusionary and use their threats both economic and often physical force to gain higher renumeration at the expense of others. It is often thought they are ''sticking it to the man'' so most don't care about these tactics. But in reality to advocate for their increased influence ends up hurting those who are not members and must either find lower wages otherwhere or in many cases not find any employment at all. So does Mr. DiIulio favor the unions or the poor? You cannot favor both. And in the case of the public service unions on which both Mr. Sinyai and Mr. DiIulio are silent do the favor the poor or the upper middle class many with their often $100,000 per year or more in compensation?
The "exchange" that I worry about is the unlimited flow of $$ from big business.
Total compensation including benefits
Public - $39.66 per hour or roughly $80 k a year of which about $25 k is not taxable
Private - $27.42 per hour or roughly $57 k a year of which $15 k is not taxable.
Benefits which are not taxable
Public - $13.65
Private - $8.02
From U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for 2009 as republished by the Cato Organization.
Two things, these are averages so a large percentage of the pubic sector workers are receiving compensation of 100 K or more as seniority is important in these jobs. And second, these numbers probably understate the benefits since retirement benefits are dramatically different between the two sectors and not entirely reflected in actual compensation numbers.

Message from the President
Now is the time for innovation.
All around the globe, people are realizing that for communities to be economically viable and for individuals to be successful, we must employ innovation. By definition, innovation means disruption, upheaval, shaking things up. On the surface, this might sound negative, but in reality it is just another way of looking at things; a way of using creativity to approach daily life.
At Patrick Henry Community College, not only are we offering new, innovative programs of study, we are being innovative in the way we offer them,
New programs that hold promise for equipping students with skills to enhance employability include mechatronics, innovation engineering, global languages, and other programs that prepare students for a world that demands quick thinking, capable team work, and nimble problem solving. PHCC is the first community college in the nation to offer the Innovation Engineering academic program, which provides students with concrete skills to turn innovation from a random and risky event into a reliable system.
But it's not just these new programs which focus on innovation. From conducting research for that English term paper to combining elements in chemistry, to calibrating tools and equipment for advanced manufacturing applications in motorsports, students use creative, innovative thought.
It's been called "thinking outside the box." At PHCC we provide students with a toolbox that includes soft skills employers seek: critical thinking; teamwork; problem analysis; communication skills – innovation.
It is our goal to ignite that creative spark that we know resides in every student's mind.
Angeline D. Godwin, Ph.D., J.D.
