So who are the top chances to take out Idp 10, 8,6
I see some girls are in their 2nd and third years in the same level could change things given their difficulties might be through the roof . Makes it hard for those who've just moved up!
- May 21, 2012 at 9:54 AM
Idp 6 Emmi Watterson Qld
IDP 8 Emily Whitehead(VIC) or Alysha Koloi (QLD)
IDP 10 Eliza Freeman(VIC) ot Rianna Mizzen (QLD)
IDP 6 gymnasts should not need 2 years to get to IDP 8 unless they are exceptionally young and need time to develop. If gymnasts need to do 2 years at IDP 6 then they are going to struggle even more in the higher levels.

Go the MLC girls Gules, Maddy & Kita!
- May 21, 2012 at 4:19 PM
Is there a link to the work plan anywhere? I can't seem to find it.
- May 21, 2012 at 8:23 PM
Some of the Wais girls are in their 2nd and 3rd years of IDP 8 so their difficulties are quite high
- May 22, 2012 at 10:27 AM
Can someone please explain to me why someone might do a third year of a level? I can understand a second year, if they went up a level just before nationals, for example, and then are still going on the same level when the next nationals comes around again. But why would you need 3 years? Could it be due to injury? If it is taking 3 years to master the skills, then perhaps IDP is not the right stream? Just trying to understand. Thanks.
- May 22, 2012 at 11:33 AM
Some of those WAIS kids are very weak on vault.
- May 22, 2012 at 11:48 AM
going on the lead up to Nationals results their beam and bar difficulties seem to be quite high and these seem to be girls who are in their 3rd time at IDP8 why did they not move up to 10 if they can do such high difficulties? Was it due to previous injury?
- May 22, 2012 at 12:04 PM
Perhaps they don't meet the minimum age of the level above?
For example, Alexandra Eade will be an International Junior for far longer than any of her contemperaries because she started in the division far younger, and cannot progress to senior until she is turning 16.
- May 22, 2012 at 12:27 PM
No I think you'll find they are at the top end of IDP 8 13 years so they will have less time to do IDP 10 then junior and so on .... age is definitely not the reason they are staying back...maybe Wais wants a champion and getting older girls with experience in that level to compete might just secure it for them.
- May 22, 2012 at 12:39 PM
who won the team competition?
- May 22, 2012 at 1:03 PM
What are the minimum ages for idp levels and junior international?
- May 22, 2012 at 1:50 PM
- May 22, 2012 at 1:58 PM
Is team 2 days added together?
- May 22, 2012 at 3:34 PM
Does anyone know who is came first for today in the IDP 6 comp?
- May 22, 2012 at 4:01 PM
Results will come up here but I don't know how long that will take. In the meantime, was anyone there and can actually tell us? Please? :-)
- May 22, 2012 at 4:32 PM
Ah, the link in the previous post didn't come through. That would be: (trying again)
- May 22, 2012 at 4:33 PM
Regarding comment at 12.39, and as to why it may take 3 years in one level.
I work in an IDP club. I've seen lots of gymnasts - some with mega talent, some just 'meh' for IDP standards. I've seen lots of things happen with both "Stages" (the former name for the elite stream) and IDP (current elite stream program).
Kids taking three years in a level - sometimes, kids will be held behind by just one apparatus. It most likely will be bars (oh, the difficulty of IDP 6 bars!), or flipping a vault to feet. I've seen kids reach a mental block - e.g. two flics on beam. Are these kids suddenly unsuitable for IDP? Well, no. They're just normal kids who have hit a giant obstacle, probably for the first time. That's absolutely normal for gymnastics.
I've also seen gymnasts lose 6 months to a year of skill deveopment through injury. They get injured before/after comp, spend the off season recuperating, and then end up working routines to be competition ready for the next comp season. Obviously that's a very generalised scenario, but it's important to realise that injury does impact a gymnast's skill development.
- May 22, 2012 at 8:37 PM
The results are on the couch mnast
- May 22, 2012 at 9:02 PM
The results are on the couch gymnast sorry

1st AA Emmi Watterson from Qld
- May 22, 2012 at 9:07 PM
none of the wais girls are in their 3rd year...
- May 22, 2012 at 10:07 PM
What's the go with the IDP 6 comp it looks like from that photo(a great photo by the way) that they are in a little gym?? Not an Arena?? The people watching look like they are next to the beam.
- May 22, 2012 at 10:13 PM
Yeah strange.
- May 22, 2012 at 10:19 PM
Thank you to 8:37. Very helpful explanation thanks.
- May 22, 2012 at 10:30 PM
It looks like a photo taken of a relevant competitor from a Victorian event?
While it would be nice to have a photo from the event it is nice to have some information (hint hint GA) this seems to be fairly common in online journalism.
- May 22, 2012 at 10:39 PM
Team event is based on two day scores combined
- May 22, 2012 at 11:17 PM
If u look up the names from WAIS idp8 three of the girls competed 2.5 years ago at National clubs so no not a full 3 years but seems like a long time in the one level?
- May 23, 2012 at 5:44 AM
Perhaps they leave their gymnasts in one level for that long to help them develop the basics and techniques required to perform strong routines at the next level. i.e. Their coaches obviously dont think they are ready to move up. I know a lot of clubs will move their kids up for the second half of the year, for national clubs etc so they can have a feel of that level before they compete trials and nationals next year. Some of the levels requires a huge jump - IDP 8 to 10 especially on bars with now using the uneven bars
- May 23, 2012 at 7:44 AM
Go girls from QLD and mbc!! Goodluck to Georgia Godwin, Amaya KingKoi and Alysha Koloi! And congratulations to Emi Watterson for winning the all around!
- May 24, 2012 at 11:39 AM
Paige James from WAIS just won IDP8
- May 24, 2012 at 1:09 PM
who came 2nd and 3rd?
- May 24, 2012 at 1:17 PM
Brook Callcott came 2nd overall (go wais girls)
- May 24, 2012 at 7:39 PM
Paige James did IDP 6 last year at Nationals, looks like her first year at Nationals was 2011
- May 25, 2012 at 7:26 AM
Paige James did IDP 8 at National clubs 2011 she is in the results so she has done it a while and Brook Callcott this is her 2nd year so well done to the WAIS girls but the experience of having performed IDP 8 longer therfore their difficulty was higher on day 2 and being older saw them through ...
- May 25, 2012 at 11:29 AM
Older than who? Paige would be one of the younger girls there I would have thought. WAIS have a talented 2016 group and it seems that the rest of the country has only just noticed. Brooke hasn't competed IDP 8 at nationals before and only did one nationals at IDP 6. Lots of gymnasts try out their routines at national clubs so the fact that someone has competed a couple of apparatus there in the past doesn't really mean a thing about how experienced they are in the level or whether they are ready to move to the next level. There were some gymnasts in their 2nd year at 8 - nikita and demetria competed for SA last year at 8 and Darcy competed but not AA. It is not unusual to repeat a level and rarely do programs do it " to have a champion". What the poster who is suggesting that it is hard on the girls who have just moved into the level to be competing against girls more experienced and with bigger skills seems to be missing is this; very soon they will all be competing together - first as juniors and then seniors and difficulty will be what separates them. So those who have been at gyms focussing on routines and cleaning up in IDP 5 & 6 are going to be behind in the skill development area. It looks to me that WA has been showing up at nationals for years with very few medal wins while they have been quietly building skills for the future. QLD for some reason seems to have been able to build skills and clean up in the medals.
- May 26, 2012 at 1:21 PM
Well done to all the girls in Idp 8 they were all amazing ! Their is a strong group of girls coming through not just from WAIS but all around the country and it will be great to see how they develop lots of girls had difficulties some more ready than others , some coaches being more tentative and not putting big difficulties in comp routines even though gymnasts might be able to perform them at training , their were younger competitors and older ones in the level but it is true eventually they will all be in the same pool looking for a spot at an Olympic team it won't matter how many times they did a level eventually it all evens out so don't stress all these girls were awesome it really just came down go who was better prepared on the day and this time it was Wais's turn next time who knows they were all good !
- May 26, 2012 at 1:55 PM
Agreed! It was the best IDP 8 group I've seen for a while. Heaps of talent there from all over!
- May 26, 2012 at 3:05 PM
My mistake thought Paige James was 13/14 misinformed wondered why she didn't do Idp 10 given the age but I stand corrected just would have liked to see another state win other than WAIS And Qld as programs are bring shut down for IDP across the country it makes the pressure of producing a champion even more important also agree with above everyone was outstanding !
- May 26, 2012 at 3:20 PM
Alysha Koloi from Qld is only 10 turning 11.
- May 26, 2012 at 4:35 PM
How old are the other IDP 8's?
- May 26, 2012 at 5:15 PM
Turning 12 and turning 13. I don't know if there would be any others turning 11 this year (born 01). That is very young to be doing IDP 8 - especially as well as she does.
- May 26, 2012 at 5:25 PM
Yeah there are very young girls working IDP 5 and 6 at the QAS. We had Qld State training at their gym yesterday and their was a couple of super talented 8 year olds. Amazing.
- May 26, 2012 at 5:43 PM
Yes I agree. I know that one of the girls, Eden Tarvit that just competed Junior international is only turning 13 this year. She hasn't had an awesome comp but hopefully she will show her talent at apparatus finals. She is a powerful gymnast who needs to get her confidence up. Good luck in the next comp Eden.
- May 26, 2012 at 5:47 PM
Which girls will compete in apparatus finals for junior and senior tomorrow?
- May 26, 2012 at 6:09 PM
I thought nearlynall of the juniors would be in it because there is only 10 in it I think.
- May 26, 2012 at 7:44 PM
will most of the IDP 8 girls be age-eligible for 2016? Would love to see some young ones on an olympic team.
- May 26, 2012 at 8:45 PM
Definitely most. As someone has already pointed out - Alysha Koloi is turning 11 so eligible for 2020. All the WAIS team are 2016 as are Dimetria Andrellos and Kayleigh falconer - not sure about the Victorian girls.
- May 26, 2012 at 9:49 PM
S0 very impressed with all the IDP girls. They blew me away with their wonderful skills, presentation and polish. Great job kids!! The future of gymnastics in this country is in good hands!
- May 27, 2012 at 8:54 AM
Charlotte Quirk is also 2001 eligable for 2020 same as Alysha Koloi the other victorian girls are age eligable for 2016 who competed in IDP 8
- May 28, 2012 at 12:32 PM
Thanks for the VIC update - what a talented bunch of girls (2012 IDP 8). Let's hope they all stay healthy and reach their potential!
- May 28, 2012 at 1:16 PM
Best of luck to the level 7's about to start their first day of competition. GO WA!! Anyone able to provide updates - much appreciated.

WA National Level 7 win National Championships....is this a first?
- May 29, 2012 at 1:39 AM
WA has come to town!!!
- May 29, 2012 at 8:31 AM
A question...is it 'easier' for a girl with natural flexibility to gain strength, or a girl with natural strength to gain flexibilty?
- May 29, 2012 at 3:53 PM
I think flex is "easier" if more painfull! Strength is not too hard but "power" is very difficult to improve. The way gymnastics is at the moment it favours power over flex.
- May 29, 2012 at 4:16 PM
I didn't think about strength versus power - good point. So is power more to do with fast-twitch muscle then, and therefore can't be 'learned'?
- May 29, 2012 at 6:38 PM
Pretty much, yes.
- May 29, 2012 at 7:27 PM
Okay, thanks heaps for your feedback. Really appreciate it!
- May 29, 2012 at 7:38 PM
It actually can be improved - but it is the biggest area where natural attributes are important. From what I understand, you can't change the proportion of fast/slow twith muscle but you can "switch" the fast twitch on with training. I read an interview with Nastia Luiken where she talks about how she has to do a lot of "strength training" - a lot of this would be "power" training. Sprints, timed rope climbs, timed anything really, jumps all work power.

Postbaccalaureate Advisor,
5284 University of Oregon
Eugene, OR 97403-5284
Email: email@example.com
Program Description
Post-baccalaureate status allows a student to begin coursework in the program without the extensive admissions procedure required for graduate school. The advantage of this status is that students are eligible to enter the program and complete many of the prerequisites necessary for graduate school and certification, regardless of prior undergraduate degree. Completion of CDS prerequisites prepares a student for a speech pathology master's program and generally makes a student more appealing to graduate program admissions committees across the country. Most students complete post-baccalaureate courses in three terms as a full-time student. Depending on previous coursework, students may need to take coursework outside the CDS major to complete the prerequisites necessary for graduate school or certification. There is no guarantee that, upon completion of coursework, a student will be admitted to this CDS master's program. However, completion of this program may result in admission to this or some other Communication Disorders and Sciences master's program.
Application, Deadlines, and Admission
Students should apply for undergraduate postbaccalaureate status through the UO admissions department (http://admissions.uoregon.edu/otherapplicants/postbacc). No separate CDS program application is required. All applications are managed by the UO admissions department and approved by the CDS program (in early June and early August). Applicants are required to submit an application, a 1-page Statement of Purpose summarizing your background and interest in speech-language pathology, and all undergraduate transcripts.
Postbaccalaureate courses are designed to be taken in a sequence (beginning Fall term) and are offered only once an academic school year. Therefore students should start their PB program Fall term. Applications for Fall term admission are due no later than July 31st. Applications for the upcoming fall are accepted any time before July 31st but are only reviewed by the department in early June and early August.
The CDS program prefers to advise all potential and currently admitted postbaccalaureate students. Please do not seek advising about our program through general UO advising. Questions about the postbac program can be answered by Dr. Nippold at email@example.com or 541-346-2587.

It's been five weeks since my last post. Partly because I'm a terrible blogger and partly because really not much has happened. We have one PATH class left, and then it's on to the home study process.
In the initial weeks of training, we poured over how to prepare our house. In Tennessee, you have to select one of three age ranges (0-12, 0-18, or 6-18). We selected 0-12, and let me tell you—trying to plan for a range of 12 years and two genders is hard. We talked about what we were comfortable with, what ages we truly feel like we'd be most successful with, and the selfish reality of what we want knowing we're hopeful this is a means to grow our own family.
Let me pause here and be completely clear. Yes, we want to adopt children from foster care. But we don't want to do it at the expense of parents who are wholeheartedly striving to get their children back. We want to encourage those parents, walk alongside them and set them up for success for when they are reunited with their children.
So after many conversations, we came to the conclusion we want children on the younger end of the spectrum and we hope that our home study worker, our case worker, and the placement folks will be understanding and receptive to that. With that in mind, we decided to turn one room into a shared bedroom for two children. Our other bedroom will remain an office, but also house a futon to conveniently be a guest room as needed for our moms.
And now I'm in full nesting mode. I've bought so many things off Craigslist and sweet friends are beginning to offer their hand-me-downs.
The kids' room will have a crib/toddler bed, a twin bed, a cube storage organizer to hold books and toys, and a dresser to share. If you have any suggestions for must have toys, books for game, let me know in the comments.
That brings us up-to-date for the most part. We are so excited to become parents to children for a season or forever, and already I'm incredibly thankful that our journey through infertility has brought us to this point.

A nine-year-old boy with a respiratory condition was set to fulfil a lifelong dream today –by leading out Sheffield United.
Addison Connor was born with a diaphragmatic hernia, which stopped one of his lungs from developing properly.
The hernia caused his stomach organs to move up into his chest, through an opening in the muscles which allows us to breathe, and he underwent several emergency procedures to treat the condition.
Now, Addison lives life like any other child his age but with the help of an oxygen cylinder to aid his breathing.
Addison, of Conisbrough, a pupil at the town's Morley Place Junior School, is a huge Blades fan and was invited by the club to lead out the team at today's FA Cup clash against Plymouth Argyle at United's Bramall Lane Stadium.
Craig, Addison's dad, said: "Addison has supported Sheffield United all his life, and we have been to many games, including last year's FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.
"He has always wanted to be a mascot for the Blades.
"It all started when he saw mascots on TV and he said to me he would love to do it one day.
"His aunt, Kim, wrote Sheffield United a letter asking if Addison could be a mascot for one of their games.
"We were shocked at how quickly the club responded and couldn't wait to tell him the news that he would be a mascot.
"His eyes lit up when we told him the news and he hasn't stopped telling everyone since."
Addison was set to enjoy a VIP tour of the backroom facilities, meet first team players and manager Nigel Clough, be presented with an autographed football by club captain Michael Doyle and have a pre-match kickabout on the pitch.

Once in a Lifetime
Me: "aaahhhhhllllllleeeeee! ali! ALI!"
Some Unknown Thing: *scramble, scramble* *scratch, scratch*
Me: "ALI! DAMMIT! COME!"
Some Unknown Thing, Which May Have Been In The Vicinity Of My Bedroom: *SCRATCH-SCRATCH-SCRATCH-SCRATCH*
Me: grumble-swear-dammit-grumble "COMERIGHTNOWORYOUARESOFUCKINGDEAD!"
Ali: "YELP!!!!!!!!!!"
So I ran back to the bedroom and Ali, in his ecstasy at being summoned with or without the foul language, had ran out of the bathroom with the door partially open and wedged his neck between the door and sink cabinet. The harder he tried to push forward, the more he strangled himself. I swear, if I hadn't had the I'm-gonna-kill-this-fuckin-dog look on my face when I ran into the back room, which immediately caused him to shrink away in fear, he would have pinched his goddamn head off. Of course then I felt terrible and I pet him and loved on him a little before kicking him to the curb. Had to get that latte you know.
Well, payback, if that's the proper term in this scenario, is a bee-yahtch, and I when I came home later and ran into our bathroom to unload the latte I stepped square into Something Indescribable. Otherworldy, you might say. Apparently in his fright and near-death-by-bathroom-door-strangulation experience Ali emptied his anal gland all over the bathroom floor. And my one almost-clean sportsbra. And a comb. That is by far and away the worst thing I have ever smelled in my life. I'm gagging right now. I thought the smell of my armpit after the combination of college finals and a 6-hour plane ride was bad. Ho-ho-ho, that shit was delicious compared to this. So I left it to show Jim. Because really, that was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I wouldn't want to deprive him. Of the experience, you know.

Original story: Nov. 12 – 11:15 a.m.
Hours after starting in Arkansas' loss to LSU on Saturday, Razorback quarterback Cole Kelley was arrested for suspicion of driving while intoxicated.
Kelley was arrested by Fayetteville, Arkansas, police Sunday morning. According to the Washington County online booking records, Kelley was booked at 8:47 a.m.
"I was informed early this morning of an incident involving Cole Kelley," Arkansas coach Bret Bielema said in a statement. "We are gathering all information from the proper authorities and will make a determination upon review of that information."
Kelley, a redshirt freshman, had taken over as the team's starting quarterback when Austin Allen was sidelined with a shoulder injury. Kelley was 3-10 for 36 yards and an interception in the Hogs' 33-10 loss to LSU on Saturday. Allen, meanwhile, was 13-23 for 140 yards.
Arkansas fell to 4-6 with the loss to the Tigers. The Razorbacks need to beat both Mississippi State and Missouri to make a bowl game.

Baku. 26 August. REPORT.AZ/ Police in Hungary have used tear gas to disperse migrants protesting at a reception camp on the Serbian border, Report informs citing BBC.
Unrest flared at a crowded reception centre at Roszke. Earlier, Hungary said it was considering using troops to secure the border.
Most of the migrants are heading for Western Europe, especially Germany.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel is visiting a shelter for asylum seekers after it became the focus of violent anti-immigrant demonstrations. Angela Merkel, who condemned the protests as "repulsive", is expected to meet residents of the centre in Heidenau.
Germany expects up to 800,000 asylum applications in 2015 - more than any other EU country.
The Berlin government has urged other member states, including the UK, to take more migrants in.

LAKE COMO, NJ — For a small Jersey Shore community with no beachfront, Lake Como is still right in the middle of all the summer action, particularly on the weekends.
And that's because of several major factors: Some of its streets serve as main arteries for vehicles getting to and from Belmar's Ocean Avenue less than one-half mile away. Its population of 1,700 swells significantly when summer renters move in. And five bars, including the ever-popular Bar Anticipation, are located in this 0.265-square-mile community.
For Lake Como officials, finding ways to ease any traffic, parking, summer rental and quality-of-life concerns that may arise from Memorial Day to Labor Day is a top perennial priority.
"We want to strike a good balance between our summer visitors and our residents," said Mayor Brian Wilton. "While summer visitors bring in much-needed revenues to our businesses, we have to make sure we can keep it enjoyable for year-round residents as well."
Putting the Community Policing Program in High Gear
A collaboration between Lake Como and the Belmar Police Department, the Community Policing Program is aimed at opening a dialogue with residents with that specific purpose in mind. Each street in the borough is assigned to one police officer, who serves as a community outreach specialist, working together with residents to resolve problems in a timely manner. A list of officers and their assigned streets is attached here.
Mayor Wilton also welcomes residents to contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com with any matter they believe should come to his attention. "I need to hear immediately about any issue or problem a resident may have," he said. "We have to be proactive and make sure everyone's concerns are being addressed."
Improving Traffic Patterns is Major Goal
This year, improving safety on streets heavily traveled in the summer drives another major initiative. Belmar Police Chief Andrew Huisman has been working with the borough on revising traffic patterns and parking regulations on 17th and 18th avenues, as well as New Bedford Road — west-to-east streets that provide direct access to the Belmar beach.
When these narrow two-way streets become packed with parked cars on both sides, traffic cannot pass easily in either direction, posing a safety risk and traffic hazard. Compounding the situation is the high rate of speed motorists are traveling as they maneuver these congested residential streets.
To improve traffic flow, options currently under review include turning certain streets one-way in the most-effective pattern, prohibiting parking on a portion of 18th Avenue from Friday through Sunday, and placing "traffic calming " devices on 17th Avenue near Newman Street to keep motorists from speeding. Effective yesterday, May 26, New Bedford is now one-way westbound for the summer.
The borough council is expected to review a final proposal at its next meeting on Tuesday, June 7.
Ensuring Summer Renters, Bars are Good Neighbors
To handle the influx of summer renters, visitors and day-trippers, Lake Como officials hope to continue with the success it had last year when the Belmar Police Department took over patrol operations in May. Under its contract with neighboring Belmar, Lake Como's streets will be patrolled by Belmar's full-time police force and an additional 33 special police officers, many of whom will patrol on bike or on foot at all times — even into the early-morning hours when bar patrons and party-goers are returning home.
Addressing quality-of-life issues of residents living near the five bars in Lake Como, the borough requires all of these establishments to conduct daily litter patrols in designated areas by neighborhood. When the police department finds it necessary, they also must implement "shush patrols" to help reduce noise caused by bar patrons outside their bars.
Several bars also have additional conditions on their liquor licenses. PK's Shamrock Pub, situated in a residential area on 18th Avenue, is required to have on-site security personnel and must pay for additional police patrols when warranted — a decision that is made by the police chief. Also, lines of people are not allowed outside its premises after 11 p.m., and live entertainment is only permitted on Friday and Saturday until 1:20 a.m. and on Sunday until 11 p.m.
A major destination for many summer visitors by foot and by car, Bar Anticipation is assisting in crowd control at its expansive 16th Avenue location. In cooperation with the borough, it has designated a separate entrance in the rear of its property where bar patrons can assemble — rather than near the street — while waiting to gain entry into the establishment.
It is also required to have security personnel on its premises and sufficient manpower to control lines outside its establishment and at its entrances, specifically at drop-off locations and taxi lines. As a courtesy, Bar A offers a free shuttle servicing the surrounding area for patrons looking for a ride to the bar or for a way to get home.
Streamlining the Short-Term Rental Process
Regarding summer rentals, the borough will continue to make it easier for landlords to accommodate short-term tenants — those looking to rent on a monthly, biweekly or even weekly basis.
Under seasonal rental license regulations implemented in 2016, a property owner pays a $150 inspection fee and a $50 tourism fee for every dwelling that is rented from May 15 to September 15. If a tenant changes during that period, a "certificate of self-inspection" must be completed and submitted to the borough's Code Enforcement Office. In the past, landlords were required to go through the full inspection process each time the dwelling changed tenants — even if the rental period was for a little as a week.
As of May 25, summer rentals are down nearly 12 percent compared to last year, falling from 92 to 81 dwellings that have received certificates of inspections.
A Tiny Shore Town with a Picturesque Treasure
Despite the challenges that the summer brings each year, Lake Como has attributes that sometimes go unnoticed. Its quaint downtown area along Main Street has a variety of merchants, shops, professional offices and eateries that are popular destinations for local residents and visitors alike.
As part of its ongoing redevelopment of Main Street, new decorative lighting has been installed between 16th and 18th avenues through a state Community Development Block Grant.
While the borough may not have a beach, it does have its namesake Lake Como — a picturesque 34-acre lake that is situated along its southern border with the Spring Lake Borough. Its 2.38-acre shoreline features a gazebo, park benches, three wildlife sanctuaries and a specially designed butterfly garden. It certainly is the place to go when looking for some quiet to calm the summer clamor.

Burton scores 27 as Cyclones hold off Horns
AMES — If Iowa State can get Deonte Burton to play as well as he did Saturday more often, the Cyclones just might have a chance in the Big 12.
Burton scored 27 points — two more than he had total in his previous three games — and Iowa State held off Texas 79-70 for its fourth win in five games.
Monte Morris had 22 points, 10 rebounds, six assists and zero turnovers for the Cyclones (10-4, 2-1 Big 12), who won despite not hitting a free throw for more than 30 minutes.
"This was probably his best game offensively all year," Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said of Burton.
Iowa State pushed its lead to 40-31 by halftime and jumped ahead by 14 early in the second half. Texas (7-8, 1-2) closed to within 68-65 with 3:42 left, but a Matt Thomas 3 after a pair of defensive stops put the game out of reach.
Iowa State went just 5 of 12 from the line and was outrebounded 35-29. But the Cyclones forced 19 turnovers and put up 14 more shots than Texas.
"We were tough on defense. We were everywhere, and we hustled," Burton said.
Kerwin Roach Jr. scored 21 for the Longhorns, Tevin Mack had 15 points and Andrew Jones had 14. But Texas also struggled from the line, going just 8 for 16.
"I thought our guys did a great job staying in the fight," Texas coach Shaka Smart said. "They played for each other and helped each other. But there's obviously some basketball components of the game we need to do more."
Iowa State: The Cyclones showed how good they can play when Burton plays well. Burton, who has been wildly inconsistent as a senior, was 12 of 17 from the floor and had five rebounds and three assists. Burton also had four turnovers, but Iowa State can live with that if Burton can produce on offense like he did Saturday. "We need this Deonte Burton," Prohm said.
Texas: The Longhorns will likely be very good someday– perhaps as soon as next year. But Texas showed its youth on defense, miscommunicating on a number of possessions that led to easy looks for Iowa State. If the Cyclones hadn't missed so many easy baskets in the first half, the margin of defeat would've been much larger.
Does Iowa State get a few more votes this week? The Cyclones beat a Texas Tech team that subsequently proved itself in a win over West Virginia, pushed probable No. 1 Baylor to the final buzzer on Wednesday and held off a surge from the talented but inexperienced Longhorns.
After Texas got within 3, Burton got a layup off an assist from Thomas. The Cyclones then got running off a missed Roach 3, and Thomas got free in the corner for the 3 that took the air out of Texas. Thomas had just five points, but he also had four steals.
"He's not a big guy. He's strong. He's a perimeter player who does some good things around the basket. He's a tough matchup," Smart said about Burton.
Iowa State plays at Oklahoma State on Wednesday.
Texas hosts TCU on Wednesday.
TEXAS (7-8, 1-2) — Allen 5-10 1-2 11, Cleare 3-7 0-0 6, Jones 5-7 2-3 14, Roach 7-9 3-6 21, Mack 6-13 1-2 15, Banks 0-0 0-2 0, Davis 1-3 0-0 2, J.Young 0-2 1-1 1. TOTALS 27-51 8-16 70.
IOWA ST. (10-4, 2-1) — Bowie 3-9 0-2 6, Thomas 2-6 0-0 5, Morris 8-15 3-4 22, Mitrou-Long 4-11 0-0 11, Burton 12-17 0-3 27, S.Young 1-1 0-0 2, Jackson 1-5 2-2 4, Weiler-Babb 1-1 0-1 2. TOTALS 32-65 5-12 79.

Fouled Out–None. Rebounds–Texas 33 (Jones, Allen, Cleare 7), Iowa St. 26 (Morris 10). Assists–Texas 12 (Roach 5), Iowa St. 19 (Morris 6). Total Fouls–Texas 14, Iowa St. 11. Technicals–Mitrou-Long.

So you have decided that you want to take the plunge and work from home and you are looking around online and can't decide which jobs to start with? Well you need to read some work from home job reviews for more information and so you can make an informed decision about what is right for you.
Working from home is a fantastic opportunity and many people are taking this up every day. You get to wake up when you want and be your own boss. Best of all, no long commute in the morning to go to a job your probably hate and work with people you probably hate even more. However it's important you find the right work from home job. This is where reviews come in handy.
I assume you have looked online and found something that has caught your eye. Well don't take the plunge straight away before you have done your research. Now work from home job reviews don't often come in a simplistic form. It's very rare to find an actual site that will offer reviews of each opportunity so what you need to look for is forums and discussion boards. If its work from home data entry or work from home jobs for moms you will no doubt find some one else who has already given it a go.
Find a forum that caters for the particular online job you are looking at and type the exact job name in the search. I expect you will find a thread where people will offer their genuine feedback on the job. If you don't find anything just move onto another make money online forum. There are plenty to choose from and you will find your information in the end.
Now read through peoples experiences and you will begin to realise if it's the job for you. Be careful as some companies will try and add positive reviews to threads in disguise. However, this is easy to notice as these types of posters will only have a few posts to their name. As a general rule I suggest you completely ignore posters who have less then 20 posts to their name as they are probably shills employed to give positive feedback on companies. Their opinions simply can't be trusted.
You could even go as far as private messaging someone who has previously worked at one of these work at home jobs and ask them a question if you need more information. There is no need to be shy and you will be surprised at just how helpful a lot of people online are.
Once you have found the information you want you will know if you want to go for the job or find something else. Don't worry as there is plenty of good work at home jobs around to choose from!

New loo for ranga zoo
The orangutans of Nyaru Menteng in Kalimantan, Indonesia are about to get a new waste water treatment system thanks to Lismore's Ecoteam and Tony Gilding who owns and runs the Macadamia Castle at Knockrow.
Nyaru Menteng is a refuge for orangutans who are predominantly the victims of habitat loss, and they have up to 600 animals across four sites.
Director of Ecoteam, Dr Keith Bolton said the infrastructure hasn't kept up with the growing demand on the centre in the past 20 years.
The waste water system, as well as having to deal with the human waste of up to 50 staff and volunteers, has to deal with food scraps and monkey poo from the cages where the orangutans are kept in at night.
"It's a fairly rudimentary system they've got at the moment that consists of septic tanks with no bottom which is creating pollution of the ground water. There is a lot of overland flow of sewage too which is creating a parasite issue in some of the younger oragutans which reduces their health and increases infant mortality," he said.
Dr Bolton and the team at Ecoteam have come up with a wetland based water treatment system that will be installed across the four sites.
"It will treat the raw sewage to a high quality secondary treatment level which can then be discharged into a water course."
Ecoteam have donated their services to design and implement the system, but Dr Bolton says he has an ulterior motive.
"I get to go and hang out with orangutans," he said excitedly.
Dr Bolton and North Coast plumber Nik Hyde will fly over to complete stage one in the next few months and will be supported by a team of Indonesian tradespeople. Materials and travelling costs are being provided by Borneo Orangutan Survival Australia, of which Tony Gilding is vice-president.

Another Same Sex Spouse Faces Deportation due to Defense of Marriage ActPublished: Jan 13, 2012 10:00 am
The love story began in April 1990 at a birthday party, which the couple describes as "love at first sight." One worked at the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, the other a university student. This first meeting turned into a whirlwind romance spanning decades and two continents. The couple ultimate wed in California in 2008, and now have four adopted children.
Unfortunately, there may not be a storybook ending for United States citizen Mark Himes and his French national husband Frederic Deloizy. Despite the fact that the couple's marriage is valid in the State of California, Deloizy is ineligible to receive any immigration benefits from his United States citizen spouse, and as such he may be just one more faceless statistic in the Obama administration's 400,000 deportations per year mandate.
Mark and Frederic's marriage faces the prospect of destruction, not because of the "broken immigration laws," but due to the Obama administration's continued enforcement of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in the immigration context. In fact, if Frederic were a woman there would be nothing to worry about, and the Green Card process would be fairly straight forward.
DOMA prohibits the Federal recognition of same-sex marriages, further providing that States are not required to recognize same sex marriages. DOMA was signed into law in 1996 by a Democrat (President Bill Clinton) who is a proponent of gay rights. Democrat Barack Obama continues to enforce DOMA against immigrants married to United States citizens. This enforcement continues despite the fact that both the President and his Attorney General have stated that it is unconstitutional, and that it should not be enforced in Federal Court.
To paraphrase: With Democrats like these who needs Republicans.
The painful irony is that even Dick Chaney openly opposes DOMA, making him more progressive than either Clinton and Obama on the issue. Only now that the President is seeking reelection has Obama's view on gay marriage "evolved." It seems pretty clear to me that Obama's evolution is in spoken word, and not in deed.
More disappointments from the Lipservicer-in-Chief.
Thankfully, CNN.com has given this couple a voice so that the Obama Administration will be shamed into doing the right thing. It is an election year after all.

Providing the Highest Quality Food and Service
When a 21-year-old Joe Powers opened the Canadian Honker Restaurant in 1984 – in a location where eight restaurants had failed in the previous ten years – his vision of success was keeping the doors of the 40-seat house open and breaking even. Over the next 30 years, not only has the restaurant thrived and grown – moving twice to larger locations – but Powers and family now oversee a successful enterprise of five businesses. Today Powers Ventures includes not only the original restaurant, but also Canadian Honker Catering, the Rochester Event Center, Canadian Honker Events at the Ramada, Top Tier Delights and Pinnacle Catering. In addition- Powers Ventures is one of Minnesota's largest catering groups and is considered one of the top 100 small businesses in the country by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
While commitment to providing quality food, exceptional customer service, and generously giving back to the community built successful businesses, the rapid growth of new enterprises risked weakening brand identity and necessitated development of a cohesive, integrated marketing, communications and public relations plan.
Encore Public Relations was engaged to enhance the overall brand appearance and strengthen perception of five brands including the launch of three new businesses.
Full brand marketing for Canadian Honker Restaurant and Canadian Honker Catering were repositioned and refreshed, aligned with the launch of Canadian Honker Events at the Ramada. Next, brand marketing for Rochester International Event Center was refreshed aligned with the launch of Pinnacle Catering and Top Tier Delights, as well as the launch of the umbrella identity of Powers Ventures. Encore PR provided integrated paid, earned and owned media services for all brands of the organization including:
Integrated public relations efforts resulted in Powers Ventures garnering more than 2 million news story impressions in one years time. The figure includes high profile cover stories and features in local, state and national trade media. Encore PR worked with Powers Ventures on submissions for key high profile awards.

Glotorrents tracker is a bittorrent tracker free for anyone to use. You don't need to register, upload or index a torrent anywhere, all you have to do is to include the Glotorrents tracker URL in your torrent.
When you create a torrent file the application will ask you for a tracker address, then simply type in Glotorrentss tracker URL's:
Yes! We encourage you to use multiple trackers, this will increase your torrents accessibility. OpenBitTorrent is another free, no strings attached, stable bittorrent tracker.
Tracker Modify will add/delete your tracker lists to all your torrents with one command. So whether you have 50 torrents or 2 million, Tracker Modify can make adding/deleting trackers a breeze.
There are few open independent stable trackers out there, most of the trackers that can be used openly are either unstable or in some way connected to a bittorrent indexing site. We felt there was a need for a free, no strings attached, stable bittorrent tracker.
There are many reasons, the most important ones includes:
No, the technology doesn't include any support for blocking info_hash keys from being registered with the tracker.
Just to make it clear so people sending DMCA takedown notices understand:
So what should you as a content owner do? Contact the indexing site where the torrent download originated from and ask them nicely to remove the listing and the .torrent file!
If you want to help with money to pay for bandwidth and servers, if you have programming skills, linux tcp stack optimizations skills or anything you think we may require to make this project go forward, contact us at [email protected]
First off wait 6 hours, if it's something big we will already have it fixed by then, if we haven't send an email to [email protected], and report what IP you are trying to connect from, if you can ping the server, and if you know what a traceroute is, include one in the mail.

The Value of Community College
Lately, there has been a disheartening increase in the number of comments disparaging community colleges at Green Hope. We've all heard them — the jokes that make it seem like community college is a last resort, or something for people who aren't "good enough" for other schools in the area.
This is simply not true. Community colleges have long been an undervalued resource, both in terms of cost and opportunity.
Tuition for East Carolina University ($22,000 a year per year), UNC Chapel Hill ($24,630 per year), or NC State University ($23,039 per year) is ten times more than the $2,768 it costs per year to attend Wake Tech Community College. Many students who attend community colleges are prepared for other state or private universities, and choose to attend because of the cost. The price point is incredibly reasonable and makes a higher education available to many people who couldn't afford it otherwise. The low cost is a great option for anyone unsure of what they want to do, and unsure if the hefty cost of a bigger university is worth it.
There are plenty of opportunities available to community college students, and the flexible academic schedule allows them to pursue a career or support a family simultaneously. Certifications in anything from Medical Laboratory Technology to Cosmetology to Automotive Systems Technology are available at Wake Tech.
Additionally, many community colleges have a "pipeline" system that guarantees successful students acceptance into a university after two years of study (for example, successful Wake Tech students are guaranteed transfer into one of the UNC system schools after two years). Most community colleges have valuable career counseling services as well. Durham Tech offers individualized counseling, workshops, and resources to its students and alumni. Career Services offers individualized counseling, workshops, interest inventories, and career resources to Durham Tech students and alumni.
Community colleges are a wonderful option for students of any age who want to pursue higher education without the debilitating price, without the pressure of a larger university, and with more time to figure out what they want from a career. High school students who don't feel prepared for or don't want the larger university experience can continue to grow, learn, and become professionals there.
The recognition of the cost-benefit analysis of a community college education is demonstrative of an intelligent, informed student. It's time to start seeing and discussing North Carolina's community colleges as the viable resource they are, instead of a punchline.

LANSING—Legislation co-sponsored by Sen. John Proos to encourage small businesses to hire unemployed veterans was introduced on Tuesday in the Michigan Senate.
"We owe our veterans a tremendous debt for the enormous sacrifice and selfless dedication they make in defense of our freedoms," said Proos, R-St. Joseph. "The 'Hire MI Heroes' initiative enlists Michigan's job-creating small businesses in the effort to give our veterans a chance to live the American Dream that they served honorably to protect."
Senate Bill 155 would provide Michigan small businesses that hire an unemployed veteran with a one-time tax credit of 25 percent of the veterans' compensation up to $4,000.
"When our veterans return home they often face real challenges transitioning into new careers," Proos said. "We have achieved much to create jobs in Michigan, yet more than 30,000 of the state's nearly 650,000 veterans are unemployed. This is about standing up for our veterans, and I am proud to co-sponsor a proactive plan to encourage job creators to hire Michigan's heroes."
To ensure accountability, SB 155 includes several safeguards, such as enabling the state to reduce or terminate the credit if the veteran the business hired to receive the credit is laid off within a year.
"The bipartisan legislation builds on reforms we made during the last few years to assist veterans entering the workforce by removing unnecessary barriers to getting a job in Michigan," Proos said. "Those reforms and this new initiative are common sense ways to help thank our veterans for their service while also doing something positive for the state economy."

text: Another improvement found in the BARC Helmet design was the addition of an advanced battlefield HUD that both aided coordination in addition to providing tactical information which was routed straight to the wearer. This enabled the BARC Troopers to utilize their speed advantages to move where needed on the battlefield, based on the information presented via the HUD. One controversial aspect of the helmet is that the eye slits on the visor were smaller than on the standard Clone Trooper Helmet. While this limited vision, its designers believed that it would force the troopers to face directly forward when on their BARC Speeders and prevent them from being distracted by their surroundings, allowing them to function more effectively at high speeds.

This is my second throw back post that I originally shared over on iTeach 3rd. Take a look to help your students improve in their responding to reading.
I'm here to share 3 ways to improve your students' responses to their reading. As I tell my students, we respond to our reading for a few reasons. 1) I'm not in their brains! I don't know what they are thinking, what's easy for them, what's hard... so we need to take time to respond to our reading. We respond to our reading both with the speaking and the writing domain so both are included here today. 2) As we learn to become better readers, we need to stop and check our thinking often. I always tell them that they won't do this for the rest of their reading lives the way we do it right now in 3rd grade... but the things we practice now will help it become automatic for us later so we spend time writing and sharing about our thinking often to help it become automatic.
Usually with that, I have them buy into the importance as to why we do this. It's also a good talking piece with parents who sometimes think that because their child can read fast and accurately, they don't always fully comprehend their reading. So how do I get students to think deeply and completely about their reading? I've got 3 tips!
If you've been around here for a little while, you'll know that I love rubrics and language. Both are in this post. I'm guilty though of not always using rubrics to help both me and my students know what to expect. I've found that a simple rubric for each skill/focus is easiest for me to see what students know what to do and what they are missing to get to the next step.
These rubrics are based off of specific skills and focuses. The top is a 3-point rubric that focuses on 2 things: the reading focus and the language focus. The reading focus targets "how" the student is able to respond to their reading on a particular focus (such as character motivation). The language focus is usually a grammar focus to help them communicate their idea more clearly. The bottom rubric targets "what" their work tells you as a teacher on their thinking level when it comes to that focus.
Two ways to use this:
- Cut them in half and just give students the top half. Have them glue it into their reading notebooks to reference so when they are completing a jotting on that focus, they now what you are expecting. You can keep the bottom half as a talking point if you need to pull a strategy group.
- Have them glue the whole page into their notebook so that students know clearly what to work towards and what their work tells you of their thinking while reading.
I'm a big proponent of graphic organizers. I've found the most success when I give a graphic organizer and have students fill it out. Later, students draw it themselves and modify to make it work for them. I've given my students a blank page in their reading notebooks and have told them to just jot during their reading... all I get usually is a mess of thoughts and I struggle to identify what my students are even thinking during their reading. So graphic organizers help both my students think completely and help me notice what they rock at and where they have some gaps for me to help fill.
For our character units (we have a series unit, mystery unit, and biography unit that we can use all these organizers for), we pay attention to our characters... a lot. We think about their problem, but not just their problem- we think about how they react to it and what that tells us about them. We think about their actions and choices and how they impact relationships and problems. We think about character motivations and what is pushing them to do things. All of this helps us develop strong ideas and traits for our characters. I've found simple box graphic organizers with question prompts to be very helpful to get students to think deeper.
The last tip to is help them communicate their thinking clearly through language. This is a great time and way to integrate grammar into meaningful instruction. I've made little mini-charts that students glue right into their notebook to reference often. Even better, if you change the printing settings and scale down a bit, they fit perfectly into a composition notebook. These mini-charts are meant to provide language supports and expand vocabulary to help students get to a deeper level. I've used an adjective chart to help students recommend books, adverbs to describe how their character reacts to something to give a better picture of their characters intent, question matrixes to help them formulate stronger questions, and sentence frames to initiate conversations about books in book clubs.
Sometimes I add the language cues right to my graphic organizers to help it become even more accessible.
I've found that by implementing these 3 tips, my students are producing more quality work and it allows me to see where I need to put my efforts.

By the time November rolls around (fingers crossed) I'll be working with my older kiddos (4th and 5th) on low so.
I created this little song for us to have some fun (and extra practice) with low so. It is called "The Turkey Dance".
Here's a slide of the verse:
Here's a slide of the refrain:
I've created slides for teaching the song (starting with the lyrics, adding the steady beat, adding the rhythmic icons, adding the rhythm, adding the solfa off the staff, adding the solfa on the staff, ending with the complete song on the staff).
I also created movements to go with the song (even my older ones like to sing and dance - I always tell them that "motions can help us remember the lyrics" and insist on complete participation).
The melodic activity that goes along with this song is what I can't wait to try out. The students are singing in a circle - singing and moving to the music. A "turkey trainer" selects as many as 8 students to hold up a turkey card:
After each repetition of the song, I can either:
A) Select a turkey for the class to sing
B) Sing or play a turkey for the class to find
If the class does so correctly, the student holding that turkey is "eaten", they turn in their card, and then they go to play an instrument (soprano, alto, bass xylophone, rhythm stick/claves, and slap stick parts are all included). Because the song is in G Major, many of my students can play it on the recorder as well.
In a subsequent lesson, the students will complete a worksheet where they label the turkeys with the correct solfa (either low so, low la, do, re, or mi).

Addressing the International Forum on Agriculture and Food in...
Addressing the International Forum on Agriculture and Food in Cernobbio on October 25th 2003, Commissioner Fischler outlined the basis for the Commission's tobacco-sector reform proposals. He noted that for 66% of tobacco holdings in Italy 'current support will simply be transferred to the single farm payment and maintained at 100%' and that for a further 23% benefits will be maintained at 80% of current levels under the single farm payment scheme. According to Commissioner Fischler this means that 'family employment, which represents some 80% of the total workforce in the tobacco sector, will continue to benefit from public support'. It will allow farmers to continue to produce tobacco or to diversify into other sectors which may be more profitable. He maintained that it would not lead to land abandonment. The restructuring funds provided will also be made available for retraining of farmers, the creation of new rural employment opportunities and even early-retirement schemes. Commissioner Fischler maintained that the overall aim of the reform process was 'the phasing-out of tobacco subsidies, while putting in place measures to develop alternative sources of income and economic activity for tobacco growers'. Commission proposals for reform of the tobacco sector were also set out in some detail at the Commission-convened seminar on tobacco-sector reform which took place in Brussels on November 10th 2003. Comment: The Commissioner's explanation makes clear the extent to which a reformed CAP is intended to maintain current levels of EU production through means which are more WTO compatible. Reining back EU production which expanded dramatically on the basis of past patterns of support is simply not on the EU's agenda.

For those who have never met my family or me, it's always a bit of a shock to people how despite our modern exterior, we are a big fans of skulls and skeletons. From the various artwork in my parents house, to the glass skull I use to hold bobby pins in my bathroom, skeletons have never been taboo in our home.
For this Etsy-tastic I chose items that combined my love for both skeletons and equines.

This Is What You Get When Policy Makers Become Complacent
The prospects for domestic demand in the US are not bright. The labor market barely generates jobs and fiscal policy is a drag. Americans are consuming; but there's unlikely sufficient nominal income growth to stabilize consumption expenditure growth at current levels.
We've seen years where consumption growth outpaced income growth; but those periods of consumption were financed through leverage build – with financial conditions tight, the possibility of financing consumption outside the labor market is deteriorating (see the Banking and Finance section of the latest Fed Beige Book, not encouraging).
Consumption growth cannot outpace income growth indefinitely. Unless we get a true policy kick (by fiscal policy, admittedly), the cyclical recovery could be a thing of the past.
That was nominal growth – in real terms and on a historical basis, the story is just as bad. Don't let anybody tell you that real consumption growth. At 1.8% Y/Y in August is anything but miserable, especially given that its annual pace is 1 ppt below the long run average, 2.8% Y/Y. Long run real income growth is even worse at 2.5 ppt BELOW the long run average, 2.8% Y/Y.
Uh huh – yes, the US economy has definitely avoided the 'recession scare'…right. As I see it, the problem with policy these days is not size nor level, rather complacency.

its not just PCE where declining incomes are a problem; lower incomes reduce government revenues at all levels; and without a stable income base, there cant be a firm floor under residential real estate either…the census report from a month ago showed median household income down 7.1% over the decade; that's a deep hole we have to get out of to even begin to advance…

The lifetime achievement of Greenspan and Bernanke is really that they created a bubble in everything, everywhere. In fact, you have to ask what they were smoking during the housing bubble, as prices were increasing by 18% annually when interest rates started to steadily rise in 2004.

New Life Camp began in 1950 under the leadership of Robert Johnson, Sr. A fantastic summer camp program grew through his passion for children. In 1955, a beautiful 70-acre wooded campsite near Raleigh, complete with recreation area, large tabernacle, dining room, cabins, swimming pond and other camp facilities, was purchased. The original cost of the camp was $35,000, but it was offered to our ministry for $12,000, an incredible bargain.
In 1961, Bob Johnson, Jr. and his wife Debbie began their ministry at New Life Camp. Bob assumed the role of executive camp director in 1976 when his father's health failed two years before his death. For over fifty years, this couple has faithfully served the children and families of Raleigh. They continue their ministry to this day. Their son and daughter-in-law, Bobby and Page Johnson, joined the full-time staff in 1993 as maintenance manager and nurse, respectively. They left the ministry in 2011 to begin Interlocking Ministries with the goal of assisting pastors and churches in Kenya to spread the Gospel.
In 2000, Aaron Miller joined the full-time staff as director of programs. Under his guidance and with the completion of our first gym, New Life Camp expanded its programs beyond that of a summer camp in the areas of Upward Sports, a home-school supplemental program, Saturday evening events for all children, and the New Life Storm athletic teams. As the programs grew, so did the staff and the facilities. Nathaniel Miller and Trisha Price joined the full time staff in 2003 and 2004, respectively. An activities center, complete with a basketball gymnasium, swimming pool, and sports field, was completed in 2010.
In 2010, Bob Johnson stepped down as executive director. Greg Burton, a recent graduate from Shepherd's Theological Seminary who most recently served on pastoral staff at Colonial Baptist Church, was appointed as the executive director. Greg is a former high school teacher and coach with extensive sport, camp, and missions work experience.
New Life Camp has been through many changes through the years, but our passion for sharing the love of Jesus Christ with children and youth remains constant. With such a rich legacy full of individuals who have served Christ here, we will continue making Jesus Christ known to all who come.

Watching for Keira – Almost Nightly
A pirate walked up to me in the mall this holiday weekend as I was loitering outside of Anthropologie, waiting with only moderatre patience for The Artist. "Hey big man, I've got Pirates and Shrek 3 on DVD. Twenty bucks." I shooed him away with a suave "belay me buck-o, and be about yer business." But I also found it strange to be offered a pirated Pirates of the Caribbean – for which I'd laid out considerable scratch at the local cineplex two nights previous. Then again, perhaps twenty bucks was a bargain. Why shouldn't the Motion Picture Association endorse pirating a movie that glamorizes rapine plunder?
Pirates3 gets a sad thumbs down from this reviewer: it's too long, too unemotional, and too driven by computer graphics and a thick and clumsy plot (if it can be called that at all) that had me trying to fathom the many competing pirate curses that seemed to spout up like stranded whales as excuses for some battle or swordfight. A huge Hollywood mess, in other words – one that will rake in tens of millions of dollars (a success!) and satisfy audiences' desire for a big, sweeping epic. Problem is, this thing screams "big sweeping epic!" without actually providing the sweep. Or for that matter, a single convincing character…save one.
And I'm not talking about Keira Knightley, though her presence – all angular profile and Oxbridge enunciation – is one of the few reasons to sit through the flick.
It's not that her role is transcendant, or her performance electric. The former is unimportant, the latter merely spirited. But Knightley is trying – she's working the scant material. Which is more than can be said for Johnny Depp, a fine actor collecting a massive paycheck, or Orlando Bloom, a tepid actor also collecting the aforementioned lucre. Depp reprises his role as Captain Jack Sparrow – and I use reprise in the loosest sense. His first portrayal was interesting, a fascinating study in his art. In the last two – filmed together in massive Hollywood bloat – are merely copies. And Bloom, almost as pretty as Knightley, is half her talent as an actor.
As Mel Odom remarked at Blogcritics:
One of the British Navy men said of Jack Sparrow, "Do you think he plans all this out, or just makes it up as he goes along?†or words to that effect. I couldn't help but feel that way about the script. It was all well done, but some of it seemed to be plotting and twists of convenience.
The Moviegoer is even tougher:
…the swelling budgets of the two sequels, and especially the increasing reliance on CGI "spectacle,†have crushed pretty much all the joy and spontaneity out of this series. They don't even stage a simple lighthearted swordfight in these movies anymore; it's all about giant sea monsters and half-man, half-fish mutants now. Depp's still around, but now he's off in the margins of the film, amusing himself and nobody else.
No, the movie is Knightley's. – such as it is. She fights the unfollowable plot, the insane overuse of CGI, and the lame dialogue admirably. It's a mere bywater (well-paying) to what I suspect may well be a fine career. She broke through in Bend It Like Beckham, and owned Pride and Prejudice. She's 22 years old and may well have a run not unlike Katherine Hepburn, who she resembles in body type if not in delivery and cool remove.
On to the finest performance: that of Keith Richards as Jack Sparrow's father. It is brief and perfectly brought off, even featuring a little light lute playing by the Rolling Stone. Keith clearly enjoys the role and it's well-written for him – evidence of some writing craft in a movie otherwise devoid of it. For his two minutes or so of total screen time, the review is simple: I laughed, I cried, I ate some popcorn.
Share this article
What, am I gonna be the first one to comment? Okay, here's the thing, Tom: Keira Knightley is a total charmer. I even watched "Domino", that's how sick I am. And y'know, it was worth two hours of nonsense, just to watch Keira kicking butt. Plus you had Mickey Rourke in the same movie. And, y'know, you have to wonder if Tony Scott is just a few cents short of a dollar, but I can always watch one of his movies. However, I still don't know if I could manage to sit through "Pirates 3". I did see the first one on DVD, and I'll tell ya, that was worth the DVD rental because Keira did a voice-over commentary that was more entertaining than the movie's dialogue.
Yeah, total charmer is a good description – sure, she's pretty, but she's got a presence. The movie, however, should have been called Dreck Three.
Haven't seen it yet. But what the Moviegoer said about Depp being over at the margins, amusing himself and no one else, struck home, as did what Tom writes about Depp's performance in Dead Man's Chest and At World's End being copies of his original Jack Sparrow. That's sort of what I felt when watching Dead Man's Chest, that he had forgotten how to play Captain Jack and so he had to imitate himself. But I also thought that the director and screenwriters had forgotten what made Jack Sparrow tick and so they didn't give Depp any help in recapturing the character.
The difference between Captain Jack in the original and Depp playing at being Jack Sparrow in the second, and I gues s the third, since it's really the same movie, is that in The Curse of the Black Pearl the Keith Richards act is a disguise Jack wears to throw people off and in the other two it's all there is to him. In other words, Depp and the Verbinski and company have turned their main character into a joke because they decided what audiences loved about Jack was the joke.
At World's End doesn't correct that course, I guess.
Lance – excellent analogy, and no they don't. He's the joke the audience loves. So he does his schtick in the margins of what can only be called a plot in the most charitable sense.
I haven't seen P3 but I'm sorry to hear that Depp is ill-used (if well paid). He was the unexpected highlight of the already bloated first film in the series.
Let's put it this way – the first Pirates was Casablanca in terms of crispness, economy, timing, and plot compared to P3.
Atleast we don't have to see her in another one… check the interview on the site above. I mean, ya charmer, she's a pokey-face charmer….

text: Hi all, I'm taking my S up to the Aberdeen Proving Ground area in Maryland a week from Monday for work and I was curious if anyone here knows of an EV-friendly hotel with a plug in the area? Yes, I know the Newark supercharger is 40 miles away, and I know of the level 2 charging listed on Plugshare. Just looking to see if there's something a little more convenient. (And if I don't get any input here--yes, I'll start calling local hotels . Thanks for any help you can provide!

Mount Macedon is both a lovely little forest town and a mountain that rises some 1000 metres not far from Melbourne. It's known for cooler weather, some beautiful gardens and extravagant homes, as well as being a popular rock climbing destination. Built in 1935 for those who died in the First World War, a 20m high Memorial Cross stands near the summit looking out over the countryside.
Having visited the mountain many times over many years, sometimes to climb, though often just for a family outing, I realised I'd never captured a landscape image of it. I chose a composition, and then returned for several mornings before one finally stood out. The fog cleared just enough to reveal the valley floor as dawn light rolled over the tree tops. Magic!
