Race Suits are the first and last line of defense you have against getting burned.
Flames are not the main cause of burns to Race Car drivers, heat or thermal transfer cause the majority of serious burns.
Most race drivers think as long as they buy overalls that are marketed and sold as a "Race Suit", that they are protected against injury in the unfortunate event of a fire.
It takes you about 8 seconds to exit your car when you are belted in and the car is stationary. Some drivers can get out a second or two quicker, but most take a second or to longer – so let's just settle for 8 seconds.
If your car is damaged, upside down, tangled up with another car or has to be brought to a stand still before you can get out, it will take you at least 12 seconds to get out, if you are lucky. You could be trapped in the car for much longer.
The two Motorsport Governing Bodies that set the rules for Race Suits are the FIA, based in France, which oversees Tar Seal and Rally events for most of the world except the USA, and SFI, based in the USA, which oversees all types of Motorsport Events in the USA.
FIA has a minimum requirement of approx 11 seconds that a suit must protect the wearer from 2nd degree burns before it passes the Homologation requirements. To achieve this, a good quality double layer suit is required.
SFI, on the other hand, have several different levels of Race Suit Compliance. This is because of the vast range of race events they sanction in the USA: from very low budget boat racing where fire is never really an issue, up to NHRA Top Fuel Dragsters where they need to be protected from a 1800F degree inferno for 45 seconds plus to allow time to slow down from 300mph and get out of the car.
When you are choosing a race suit you need to consider two critical issues: how thick is the suit, and how fire resistant is the material it is made of?
The four most common materials used to make Race Suits are:
The first three are naturally fire resistant and self extinguish. They do not require any treatment what so ever and are very good thermal insulators.
Treated Cotton however relies entirely on a chemical treatment to become self extinguishing or fire resistant. Unfortunately washing the overalls with normal washing powders removes the fire inhibitors very quickly leaving you with an expensive pair of workshop overalls that offer no worthwhile protection against fire. Depending on the strength of the washing powders you use, this can happen within 3-4 washes.
Most of the less expensive suits sold in New Zealand, and the majority of suits used in Speedway, are single layer and made of treated cotton. They will have an SFI label showing either A/1 or A/3. These suits do not provide sufficient protection for a driver to get out of their car in the case of a fire without receiving some degree of burns.
SFI Rating
Time to 2nd Degree Burn
3 Seconds
7 Seconds
10 Seconds
19 Seconds
30 Seconds
40 Seconds
Here are the various SFI standards showing the amount of time in seconds that it would take for the wearer to get 2nd degree burns.
Don't forget a 2nd degree burn is not a red mark, it is when your skin blisters and falls off, leaving a scar when it heals.
The minimum SFI standard you require to give yourself any chance of not getting burnt when exiting your car is SFI 3.2A/5. This is a double layer suit.
You can increase your protection by wearing approved Fire Retardant Underwear. As a rule of thumb a set of underwear will give you another 5 seconds of protection over and above what your suit is designed to do.
If you look at this photo of Malcolm Ngatai in Great Britain and imagined that he was wearing a single layer suit, my guess is that he would still be getting his burns treated.
(Unfortunately we can't reproduce the photo here)
However Malcolm takes his own safety very seriously, and has a 3 layer suit that gave him the confidence to sit the fire out until he was sure that all of the cars around him had stopped moving and the fire crews were on hand to extinguish the flames. I have seen his race suit since the fire and it has no evidence of burning at all.
My question to you all is:
How much time do you want to escape getting burnt?
Now that we are into the 3rd issue of this great new magazine, I thought it was about time that I discussed your underwear.
Not your Y Fronts or your G String, your sports bra or your corset, but your Fire Retardant Underwear that you wear when you race.
Most of you at this stage will be thinking something like, Oh Sh@#........ what's he trying to sell us now. However before you check to make sure your credit card is still jammed firmly in your wallet please read on.
It astounds me that the governing bodies of Speedway and Motorsport in New Zealand have a minimum standard of safety clothing that falls woefully short of what is required to help protect a driver in the event of a fire.
Equally unbelievable is that most retailers of race suits don't fully inform their customer of the performance and protection capabilities of the race suit they are looking at purchasing. Unfortunately, most people are left with the perception that they are adequately protected, when in reality they are not.
It takes you about 8 – 10 seconds to get out of your race car if it is stationary and on its wheels. If the car is damaged or up side down it will take you considerably longer.
The burn protection you get from an SFI 3.2A/1 single layer race suit is 3 seconds. If you have an SFI 3.2A/5 or an FIA approved race suit you will get about 10 seconds of protection. Racers assume that because they have a race suit that has an SFI badge on it that they are protected in all eventualities.
This is definitely not the case, many drivers are at risk.
Protection against burn injuries is all about the thickness of the protection. Two thinner layers generally offer more protection than one thicker layer. This is due to the insulation properties of air. The reason that Pink Batts insulation in your house is fat and fluffy, is because it insulates better, than if it was compressed into a thin layer. The same goes for your race suit. In the graph you will note a column headed TPP Value. This stands for Thermal Protection Properties.
TPP Value
As you know, in the USA they will pretty much race anything. Not all of these types of racing carry a risk of fire; hence the SFI standards start at a very low level. In the SFI graph it shows the protection available from the different standards of race suits available.
A set of good quality Fire Retardant underwear will add an extra 5-7 seconds to the time it will take for you to suffer 2nd Degree Burns in a fire.
To put it another way, if you currently have a single layer race suit and you are unfortunate enough to be in a fire you will suffer burns to the areas where the flames are present before you have time to get out of your car. However if you have a full set of underwear under your single layer suit you stand a very good chance of getting out unscathed.
Every driver should also wear a Balaclava.
There are several reasons for this. If your helmet has been purchased from a motorcycle shop it will be lined with Nylon and have a nylon chin strap. As we all know nylon is very flammable and melts with heat. Therefore, again if you are unfortunate enough to be in a fire in your car with a Motorcycle helmet a balaclava will prevent the nylon lining and strap from melting onto your skin.
If you have a specific designed Motor racing helmet, that is lined with Nomex, and has a Kevlar chin strap, wearing a balaclava will help stop your helmet becoming soiled and smelly from perspiration. This will ensure that the inside of the helmet will stay in good condition for longer and therefore prolonging the life of your helmet.
The above information regarding race suits has probably asked more questions than it has answered. In the next issue I will a greater level of detail about how good your race suit may or may not be.
As always I wish you all a safe, successful and enjoyable time at the track.
Merry Xmas,

This issue I thought that talking about the importance of a strong, snug-fitting race seat would be appropriate. The reason is that after Safety Harnesses, which we covered last issue, your seat is the second most important part of your race cars safety equipment.
Other than the support and comfort that the seat provides you, which I will cover shortly, a snug fitting race seat is essential to allow the driver to maximize his natural driving talents when controlling the race car.
I am sure that you have all heard the saying "driving by the seat of your pants". This is a very accurate statement for Race Car Drivers. The initial information your brain receives from your car travels from the chassis through the seat to your bum, then through your spine up to your brain. If you are able to move around in your seat the feedback from the car to your brain, which causes you to react to what the car is doing, will be slower and less accurate than if you fit into your seat securely. This results in your reaction times being slower to respond to the car sliding or you could be to slow rolling off the accelerator if the car starts to loose traction and therefore compromising important forward drive.
These days professional and serious amateur race drivers get their seats molded to their body to ensure as snug a fit as possible.
On the safety side of things it is essential to have a strong well supported and well mounted race seat.
Before I explain the safest seating design I will outline what happens to the body during a crash. During an impact the body is violently flung in the direction of the impact point on the car. It is then almost as violently stopped by either the belts, seat, a bit of both or in some instances the roll cage or steering wheel. When the car decelerates during an impact the body accelerates away from the seat before it is restrained or contained by one of the above methods.
To compound the acceleration/deceleration forces to your spine, shoulders and head, if those areas are not adequately restrained they act like a whip which further accelerates your head. This is what causes whiplash or in extreme situations brain trauma (shaken baby syndrome). These types of injuries would be far less common if full containment seats were compulsory.
Unfortunately, far to many kiwi race car drivers have sustained spinal and head injuries due to one or more of the following
a) They flopped around in their oversized seat
b) They were using a light weight Aluminum seat that deformed or tore away from the seat mounts in a crash
c) Their seat did not provide adequate support to the shoulder and head area
d) The Seat and supports had no or inadequate padding
It is recommended that your seat is fastened by 4 x 8mm bolts through the base and 4 x 8mm bolts through the upper back of your seat. Always use large washers on the face of the seat.
In order to minimize the risk of Spinal Injury you must "Keep Your Spine in Line". To achieve this, a strong, reinforced, snug fitting seat with Head and Shoulder containment is essential. Within the confines of the seat a high density foam or Gel padding must be fitted. The foam or Gel provides a controlled deceleration of your head and body which reduces the risk of injury.
A correctly fitted full containment seat will ensure that your entire spine as well as you head is supported during an impact.
I have had it said to me a few times that containment seats cause head injuries, specifically unconsciousness or concussions.
This has been proved completely wrong, without any doubt, during extensive testing in the USA.
However, if the head containment area of your seat has been poorly designed and allows more than 20-30mm maximum of sideways head movement when your helmet is on then head trauma could result from you head rattling between the containment wings.
There are seats being used extensively in New Zealand like this. To compound this problem the density of the padding in these seats is not adequate to provide a controlled deceleration of your vital organs.
It has also been determined in testing that Aluminum Seats withstand the regular shocks and impacts experienced in speedway racing better than other materials. This is because Aluminum has the ability to give a little during the impacts with less chance of weakening and fracturing over time. However, do not powder coat your aluminum seat as the heat process used in powder coating significantly changes the tensile strength of Aluminum.
To finish off, I recommend that you fit a tri-angular drivers net to at least the right hand side of your driver compartment. Mount it from your seat head support, forward and down to the bottom of the windscreen area. This assists greatly in containing your head and keeping it within the containment seat when the impacts are more frontal than from the side.

Until next time I wish you all safe, enjoyable and successful racing.

In July this year (2009), ISP was the first seat manufacturer to pass the toughest seat spec in the world: SFI-39.1
I have been asked to write an article about an aspect of Race Driver Safety. To me one of the most important and least understood Safety Devices are your seatbelts.
Generally a racer will go to a speed shop, ask for a set of belts, either Latch and Lever or Cam Lock, pay the money and assume that they have the best seat belt protection available. This is definitely not the case.
There are two types of webbing used to manufacture seat belts. Nylon and Polyester. Historically Nylon has been the product of choice for Latch and Lever Belts and Polyester the preferred product for Camlock Belts. This is not a hard and fast rule but certainly represents the majority of belt sales in New Zealand over the last 15-20 years. Over this period in time I would guess that 99% of all belts sold into Speedway Competition vehicles have been Nylon. Initially this was due to the unavailability of Polyester L & L Belts in New Zealand but in later years the cheaper price of Nylon Belts has been one of the main reasons. The other reason is that the Seat Belt Resellers have either not been aware of the huge performance difference between the two products or have not thought that it was important.
Nylon Belts are not permitted to be installed in road cars.
Nylon is the reason that Speedway New Zealand only allows a 2 year life for seat belts. Nylon is very susceptible to Ultra Violet damage.
In the first 6 months of its life a Nylon Seat Belt will lose 25% of its strength due to UV damage. In one year it will have lost 50% of its strength, this huge decline in strength continues to 18 months when it has lost 75% if its strength. From this point the decline in the belt strength is not as sharp but continues none the less.
(Click image to view full size)
Nylon Belts also stretch significantly in an impact. Depending on the Brand of belt and the manufacturing process a Nylon Belt will stretch between 12% and 15% of its length during an impact. If a Nylon Belt is damp or wet, it will stretch up to 25% of its dry length during an impact. This is significant – to put this into perspective – your shoulder belts are normally around 600mm long, therefore a wet Nylon belt will stretch 150mm during a moderate impact. This stretch combined with your bodies flexibility means that you helmet will strike the steering wheel or possibly the roll cage in an angled impact.
Nylon belts also tend to creep far more easily through the adjuster requiring the driver to continually tighten the belts during a race.
Polyester Belts are not susceptible to UV damage. During an impact they will only stretch a maximum of 6% irrespective of being dry or wet.
Only Polyester Belts are approved for FIA sanctioned racing (road racing). They have an approved life span of 5 years. However due to the durability of polyester Motorsport New Zealand has extended the life of Polyester belts to 10 years for all but National Championship Competition.
It is also very important to make sure that the belts you buy are the best for your application.
You can choose how you want them to be mounted. Wrap around, Bolt in or Clip in are all options available. However you should never wrap your lap belts around your chassis. There are many reasons for this that would take another page of this magazine to explain, however keeping your pelvic area secure is the first step to reducing the risk of injury.
Clip in or bolt in belts are the preferred methods of mounting. However if you are bolting in your belts always use a double shear bracket and make sure that the direction of pull on the belt is at 90 degrees to the bolt.
One of the biggest issues for drivers is the problem they have getting their lap belts tight. The main reason for this is that the belts they have are pull down to tighten. During the process of tightening a pull down belt you are fighting it all the way. As you pull down you are actually pushing your body up against the belt. You will never get the belt as firm as they should be. However if you have a pull up adjuster on your lap belt the mechanics of pulling on the belt forces you butt into the seat which gives a much tighter result.
Always ensure that when you have tightened your belts before racing that the free or loose ends are lying parallel to the tight belts.
If the loose end comes off the adjuster on an angle – this is normally the case if your crew has tightened the belts for you- all of the forces are taken on the short side of the belt. In other words only the outside strand of your seat belts is carrying all of your weight in an impact. This can cause the belt to tear. This is referred to as belt dumping and was one of the many reasons for Dale Earnhardt's death in a Nascar in 2001.
Last but by no means of least importance, always clean and lubricate the spring loaded balls in your lever latch after each race meeting. If these become clogged with grit they will not move freely and will stick. This reduces the amount of tension that they need to keep the lever securely closed.
I wish you all a safe, successful and fun filled race season.

Brand: American Pencil Co.
Made in: USA
Two examples of the very rare round version. The low band at the bottom is even more difficult to find.
In stock
In 1860, Edward Weissenborn set up his pencil factory in Jersey City Heights, New Jersey. It was called the American Lead Pencil Company. In 1885, the American Lead Pencil Company was sold to the Reckford Family and by 1915 their New Jersey factories employed more than 2,000 people. In 1956 they changed the name to Venus Pen and Pencil Corp., and in 1967 they became Venus-Esterbrook through mergers. Then in 1971 they were bought out by Berol who two years later was acquired by Faber-Castell USA. The company was ultimately brought in under the Sanford Corporation during another buyout/merger while part of parent company Newell Rubbermaid (now Newell Brands).

Significant reforms of vocational education are underway, but there are some mixed messages that, if not checked, have the potential to undermine employer confidence, at a time when skilled, qualified workers are desperately needed
The truth about vocational reform – By Warwick Quinn
Since the NZ government announced its Reform of Vocational Education (RoVE) a number of myths and mixed messages have been circulated, which this article aims to dispel.
For those who are wondering what RoVE is all about, the government announced earlier this year that it will disestablish the eleven industry training organisations
(ITOs) and replace them with:
- (a) a new centralised delivery agency, the New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology (NZIST), a merger of the sixteen institutes of technology and polytechnics, which will be responsible for all classroom, digital and on-job learning
- (b) Workforce development councils (WDCs) which will be responsible for the development of qualifications, standard setting, skills leadership, brokerage and industry advocacy.
The WDC functions and the arranging of on-job training are current ITO activities.
Recent discussions with the government suggest there will be six to seven WDCs, of which a Construction and Infrastructure WDC (CIWDC) will be one. Under current arrangements, construction and infrastructure activities span five ITOs, and as WDCs will be industry-led, the formation of a single CIWDC will be complex.
These are significant reforms. While there are some things we like about the new direction, it is high risk, and if the process of establishing the new regime is not undertaken well, there is a potential to set industry training back many years. We are working hard to ensure this doesn't happen.
A new modern framework
At the moment the vocational education system is not as efficient as it could be, and if you were starting from scratch today, you would not design it how it is currently structured. ITOs and polytechs compete – we don't share best practice – and the regime creates winners and losers. We have been critical of the 28-year-old framework, saying it needs modernising so we can be more responsive to employer and learner needs.
When you strip away all the complexities, politics, positioning and postulating, the government is essentially undertaking a regulatory/provider split. WDCs will be accountable to industry for the qualifications/standards it wants, and they will oversee the quality of that delivery by the NZIST and other providers.
This all seems simple enough, and the foundations on which the new system is based have the potential to address all of the concerns we have raised, and then some. The things that will get in the way of a successful transition are people and poor cultures.
To avoid that we need good change management practices in place. Everything happens over the next three years, and there are already a bunch of mixed messages that, if not checked, have the potential to undermine employer confidence, at a time when skilled, qualified workers are so desperately needed.
Dispelling the 'mega poly' myth
One of the myths floating around is that all that is happening is the government is creating a 'mega poly' and it is only doing this to get the existing polytechs out of the massive financial hole some of these institutions are in. I cannot tell you if that is true or not, but I can tell you the system was creaking regardless, and it is not a system that is suitable going forward long term. Something had to change.
Another myth is that because there is going to be a 'mega poly', on-job learning (work-based learning) will be replaced by classroom learning. While one can understand how that is a natural thing to assume, it is not so. The NZIST is not a 'mega poly', but a new national entity responsible for all vocational learning, be it on-job, off-job or distance learning.
The industry will still decide where learning takes place, and the WDC is there to ensure that happens. In fact, given how rapidly the nature of work is changing and where future upskilling will take place, the government's strategy is to increase the amount of on-job learning undertaken in the workplace.
Another myth is that 'there is no point in signing up an apprentice as they won't be able to finish their qualification'. I don't know where this one came from, but it is absolutely a false assumption. All qualifications remain, and everyone entering one will be able to complete it. Qualifications are controlled by the industry and are updated regularly – no change there.
Some important takeaways
So, here are some very important takeaways:
- • Some reform was needed
- • The NZIST is not a 'mega poly', but a new national entity responsible for all training
- • WDCs are industry owned and will set/control the qualifications that industry wants
- • There is no reason to stop training for fear apprentices won't be able to complete it.
If you have any questions about the reforms at all, don't hesitate to discuss them with your local BCITO training advisor.

Lake Baikal in Siberia is the oldest, deepest freshwater lake in the world—and offers a view like no other during the winter. Due to its oxygen-rich waters, incredible clarity and unique microclimate, the lake becomes an icy masterpiece when it freezes over. This year, photographer Kristin Makeeva took a trip to its chilly shores for an awe-inspiring photoshoot with friends.
From beautiful ice cracks to layers of suspended frozen bubbles, Makeeva captured the essence of Lake Baikal's one-of-a-kind environment. Underneath the ice-shaped surface is a world of unique planktonic animals and freshwater species—which play an integral role in keeping the water crystal clear. And those mesmerizing bubbles? They're created by methane gas released from abundant algae.
Not only does this allow for gorgeous patterns—it's also a crucial part of the habitat that sustains the 600 plant and 1,200 animal species living in and around the lake. With a depth of 5,354 feet (1,632 meters) and clarity down to 131 feet (40 meters), we can only get a small glance into the diverse world of Lake Baikal.
Yet, Makeeva shows that what's above the surface is just as fascinating. During her trip, she discovered how parts of the lake can look completely different from one another. Due to travelers skating or sledding across the surface, cracking ice, bubbles and varying layers of ice, Makeeva captured what seems like several landscapes in one trip. And with ice that thickens to 5 to 6.5 feet, it's easy to travel across the lake and take in every angle.
It's no surprise the ancient beauty of Lake Baikal in winter brings visitors from around the world—some who even choose to camp on its icy shores. While the lake is usually frozen from January to May, its incredible size keeps the average winter temperature around -6°F or (-21°C), compared to the rest of Siberia that averages -68°F or (-90°C). Looking at the photos Makeeva took, it seems worth a few days in the cold to wonder at such stunning vistas.

Today, March 20, 2013 is my 61st birthday, and my lovely wife offered to treat me to lunch at the restaurant of my choice. If you follow my food adventures, you'd most likely guess that I'd choose Mexican cusine, and you're right! I had never had the opportunity to visit Carmelita's Restaurant, on Riverside Ave., but I'd heard they were family oriented, served good food, and had received rave reviews on Yelp, and other web sites. So, it was a date at Carmelita's Restaurant!
Photo: Carmelita's is located just south of downtown Roseville, on the east side of the railroad tracks. You park on Riverside Ave., or a side street, but parking is adequate, and it's free, and you can always park nearby the restaurant.
Photo: The entrance to the restaurant from the front door. The bar is in the center, and additional dining is to the right of the photo. We sat in the left rear of the restaurant, not far from the kitchen. Check out the reviews on Yelp, as there are many of them, and generally very positive. However, I take reviews with a grain of salt...
Photo: Shortly after we were seated, our server brought a basket of freshly-made tortilla chips, black bean dip, and a bowl of runny salsa. The chips were among the best that I've head the pleasure to enjoy during my Roseville Mexican restaurant adventures, as they were fresh, not too salty, and just plain delicious. Carmelita's Restaurant is the first, and only, Mexican restaurant that I've visited in Roseville that offers black bean dip.
Photo: The kitchen is open for viewing, so I had to stick my head in and snap a photo. By commercial standards, it's quite modest and compact.
Photo: Our friendly server, Rosa, places my plate of carnitas on the table, as she holds Sharlene's lunch of a chicken tamale, rice and beans.
Photo: Sharlene and I pose with our lunch. I'm enjoying a 22-oz Pacifico beer, as Sharlene volunteered to drive.
Photo: My lunch of carnitas, rice, refried beans and flour tortillas. Garnishes include fresh, pico de gallo, sour cream and guacamole. Actually, I ordered corn tortillas, but they brought flour by mistake, so it was one of those "Oh well," moments. The lunch was delicious! The food is delicious and authentic, but quite "mainstream," so if you're at home in a Tijuana loncheria, Carmelita's might seem a bit too fancy for your tastes. Carmelita's Restaurant would be a great choice to take your family to dinner, or for "Aunt Dorothy" from Kansas who's never eaten Mexican food before.
The "Yelpers" were right, as Carmelita's Restaurant serves delicious, albeit quite "mainstream" Mexican food, the service is great, and the dining is friendly. If you enjoy authentic Mexican food, Carmelita's Restaurant is an excellent choice.

Any event or job that is entered into the calendar is referred to as a Booking, whether it is tentative, definite, a paid or unpaid job, a test shoot, casting etc. Booking Statuses and Schedule Types are color-coded, and used across the calendar and in drop-down menus.
Booking Statuses
Bookings in Syngency are grouped by their current status, which can often change through the month:
- Open – a tentative booking that is yet to be confirmed, pending client approval or talent availability.
- Non-Billable – a definite booking that has no model fees attached to it, and will not be invoiced for (such as a test shoot, or a casting).
- Billable – a definite booking that has model fees attached to it, and will be invoiced for at the end of the month.
- Invoice Ready – a completed booking that ready to be invoiced to the client.
- Invoiced – a completed booking that has been invoiced to the client, and is awaiting payment.
- Paid – an invoiced booking that has been paid by the client.
- Cancelled – a previously active booking that has since been cancelled.
During the course of the booking process, it may be typical for an Open booking to be changed to Billable, then to Invoice Ready, Invoiced, and finally Paid.
Schedule Types
A variety of Schedule Types can be assigned to a model's call times that make up a booking:
You will notice that Castings share the same blue as Non-Billable bookings, Options share the same orange as Openbookings, and Confirmed Jobs the same red as Billable bookings.
While Lockouts aren't a booking schedule type as such, they will appear on a models' chart and the Schedule View of the main Booking Calendar, alongside the other schedules.
Models' call times for a booking will often consist of different schedule types:

OSHKOSH — Cooper Nelson's already feeling the benefits from his first summer conditioning program as a walk-on at the University of Wisconsin.
The former Sun Prairie wide receiver took a break from the offseason grind Saturday night to play for the South in the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association Large School All-Star game at Titan Stadium in Oshkosh.
And while the North prevailed, 19-11, Nelson found his edge improving as the game wore on.
"I've been having a blast up at UW, and it really put me in shape for this game," Nelson said. "The conditioning up there is difficult, but you know it'll pay off in the end. I noticed it tonight, especially, because we were an uptempo offense. At certain points I was more in shape than other guys on the field."
Sun Prairie's quiet leaders Grace Hilber, Cooper Nelson shine as 2018-19 All-Area Athletes of the Year
The ball didn't always find him, but Nelson created plenty of openings in the North defense throughout the night.
The 6-foot-4, 185-pound all-state performer kick-started a long drive in the second quarter by catching a pass over the middle and wiggling past a tackler to pick up a third-and-9 deep in the South's own territory. Nelson grabbed another first-down catch eight plays later before an interception in the end zone prevented a potential 97-yard touchdown drive.
On the South's next possession, however, he broke wide open downfield and caught a 31-yard touchdown from McFarland quarterback Derek Schwarting to open the game's scoring with just more than two minutes left in the first half.
"When they called the play … I looked at the sideline and I was just clueless," said Nelson, who participated in just one practice and one scrimmage with the team prior to Saturday. "The quarterback on the sideline told me what to run and I ran it. … Thankfully no one came with me."
DeForest defensive end Beck Mayer recorded a safety for the South less than a minute after Nelson's touchdown, but North quarterback Logan Graetz hit Howie Newbauer IV over the middle for a 16-yard score as time expired in the first half.
Nelson, who finished with a team-high 51 receiving yards, often impressed even when he didn't receive the ball. He burned a cornerback in man-to-man coverage on third down during the South's first second-half possession but couldn't reach an overthrown pass.
Three plays after the ensuring punt, the North's Mason Van Zeeland caught a 67-yard touchdown from quarterback Cody Staerkel to take a 13-9 advantage.
"We had a lot of missed opportunities," Nelson said. "It wasn't just that one."
The North went on to record five second-half interceptions. Riley Zirpel's 13-yard touchdown catch from Keyser Helterbrand with 4:17 remaining pushed its lead to 19-11, and two more attempts by the South fell short.
You have free articles remaining.
Schwarting completed 8-of-16 passes on the night for 96 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions.
Waunakee defensive end Chase Maier led the South with two sacks.
North Small grinds out win
After a three-hour weather delay, the North Small All-Stars defeated the South, 21-14, without completing a pass.
The North totaled just 142 yards, all on the ground, while going 0-for-5 passing with an interception, which was recorded by Fennimore defensive back Maguire Fitzgerald.
Bryce Huettner led the North with 70 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries, while Kade Ehrike rushed 15 times for 58 yards and two scores.
Ehrike's second touchdown — from 1-yard out — broke a 14-14 deadlock with 8:11 remaining, while Huettner's 8-yard scamper on fourth-and-2 with less than a minute left allowed the North to finish a 12-play, 75-yard drive that ran out the final 5:45 of clock.
Greenddale Martin Luther's Darios Crawley-Reid, who led the South with 39 rushing yards on eight carries, opened the scoring with a 19-yard touchdown.
Lakeside Lutheran offensive lineman Caleb Raymond tied the game at 14 with 4:17 left in the third quarter when he recovered a fumble in the end zone.
Cambridge's Rudy Hommen led the South in receiving with 48 yards on two catches, including a 41-yard grab on third-and-5 late in the second quarter.
Eight-man game cut short
Saturday morning's 8-man All-Star game was canceled at halftime due to inclement weather with the South leading the North, 21-6.
The South built its entire lead in the first quarter, with Gibraltar quarterback Trevor Reinhardt accounting for all three touchdowns.
Sandwiched between two short rushing touchdowns, Reinhardt connected with Port Edwards wide receiver Addison Gibbs for a 48-yard score.
Reinhardt completed 12-of-19 passes in the half for 205 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
The North's Dennis Brule added a 38-yard rushing touchdown with 2:41 left in the first quarter.

Beara Peninsula
Dominated by the hulking presence of Hungry Hill (famous from the novel of the same name by Daphne du Maurier), the rugged Beara Peninsula is yet another one of the unique and beautiful promontories that make West Cork such a joy to live in.
The Southern side stretches from Glengarriff westwards to Adrigole and on to Castletownbere, the wide straight stretches of road making it all the more possible for one to enjoy the breathtaking views while driving. Further West still is Castletownbere – Ireland's second-largest fishing port and bustling town. Bere Island- with its fascinating history and beautiful beaches – lies just off shore, while the coastal villages of Allihies and Eyries lie further west.
The warm and inviting communities of the Beara Peninsula coupled with its spectacular setting make it one of the most photogenic places in Ireland. There is a good range of sights to see and activities to participate in, from hill walking to fishing or sailing. There is a good road system connecting Castletownbere with towns further east and there is a good choice of primary and secondary schools.

Nursing homes are meant to be places in which elderly individuals are given the care and medical attention they need in order to remain in good health. For many families, the difficult decision to place an individual in a nursing home is eased by the fact that they know their loved ones will get the best cares possible in these circumstances.
Unfortunately, not all nursing care facilities give this standard of care to their residents. In fact, nursing home abuse is a serious problem in the United States. The victims of nursing home abuse can suffer from serious physical and psychological problems, and they may develop serious health conditions as a result. This can be particularly threatening to elderly individuals, who are not well conditioned to handle this type of physical damage.
One of the most devastating types of abuse which nursing home residents might be the victims of is sexual abuse. While most people cannot bring themselves to consider this possibility as a risk that their loved ones may face in a nursing home, the reality is that nursing home sexual abuse has become a serious issue among elderly individuals in the United States.
Sexual abuse in nursing homes can occur in several ways. The most common form of nursing home sexual abuse is abuse perpetrated by other residents. In these circumstances, nursing home staff and management are accountable because they failed to provide the security which they should have for their residents.
Sexual abuse can also occur in a nursing home at the hands of the staff themselves. Because nursing home residents are often extremely vulnerable, both from a physical and emotional standpoint, it is easy for unscrupulous individuals to commit this type of horrific abuse against the residents of a nursing home, and in many cases, it can be difficult for family members to recognize the signs that their loved ones have suffered this type of abuse. When cases like nursing home abuse occur, there are legal options victims and their loves ones can pursue. One option is to seek professional assistance from an injury lawyer that has experience in handling sensitive cases dealing with negligence or abuse in the nursing home.

Just like in pre-k, I think 4-5 year olds should spend most of their days creating, playing, or exploring outdoors. We live in a very large city, but we make do with the outdoors by planting a vegetable garden every spring and fall, planting a pollinator garden, hanging up bird feeders for better birdwatching, and taking many walks. We also read a variety of nature books such as Burgess Bird Book for Children. As for "official" classes, we use the following:
Math– For kindergarten, I actually use Saxon 1. Yes, it's technically 1st grade math, but I find that most kids can handle it very well. If your kid isn't math minded in the least, then I suggest waiting until 1st grade to start this math. However, Saxon is a spiral course, so I think this works for kindergarten. If you have a Mardel near you, this is almost always on sale as well as the manipulative kit. I bought the kit years ago and have used it…a lot. Well worth the money. I find it's cheaper at Mardel than on Amazon. 🙂
Handwriting– Learning Without Tears Letters and Numbers for Me is perfect for 4-5 year olds. I also get a writing journal for extra practice. We also start Keyboarding Without Tears during kindergarten to get the kids used to keyboarding and computers.
Reading– We continue using All About Learning Press' All About Reading Level 1 If you don't get the complete package and just get a few things a la carte, I still recommend the review box. I bought a spelling one for my oldest 8 years ago, and it's still kickin'! It really helps me keep organized while teaching reading and spelling. Each of my children has one for spelling and one for reading.
Literature– To get more reading practice, I usually pick books from the Ambleside Online book list and from Angelicum Academy kindergarten literature list.
Geography– Kindergarten is when I like to introduce maps and how to use them. We use Maps, Charts, & Graphs Level A
Science– We love Elemental Science for the Grammar Stage. Since Kindergarteners can't handle too much writing, we mostly just do the experiments and readings. I also let them go on many nature hikes and spend a lot of time outdoors to explore.
Poetry– Kindergarten is the year my kids begin the journey of poetry memorization. I always tell my kids memorizing and reciting poetry is like exercising your brain. 🙂 They grow to enjoy reciting and it is really magical to have poetry wafting through the house. My number one go to book is The Harp and the Laurel Wreath by Laura Berquist.
Religion– We begin memorizing the mysteries of the rosary in Kindergarten if the child hasn't done so by now. My children also attend Catechesis of the Good Shepherd at our parish and do many religious activities at our homeschool enrichment program.
Arts and Crafts– We practice drawing using Draw, Write, Now Book 2 and find fun crafts to do on Pinterest.

The third session of the FCU, the family feedback session, can be scheduled at the family home, a clinic, school, or community center. Case conceptualization
is a critical feature of the feedback session, and particular attention is given to harm reduction. Family change is approached in a realistic, step-wise fashion,
with issues of safety and security addressed first, followed by behavior management and increasing children's adaptive behavior, such as communication and activities
of daily living, and relationship building. At the end of the feedback session, a variety of family-based interventions is discussed collaboratively with the
caregivers. Options include (a) monthly follow-up support, (b) brief training in specific parenting issues, (c) individualized family management therapy,
(d) school consultations, and (e) community referrals.
The feedback session is grounded in the literature about motivational interviewing (Brown & Miller 1993; Miller, 1987, 1989; Miller & Sovereign, 1989). Norm-referenced
assessment data are provided for parents in a strength-based, motivational interviewing paradigm. A set of procedures provides clients with a basis for better decision
making regarding the need for change. Five behavior-change principles are encapsulated in our FRAMES model: F = feedback, R = responsibility, A = advice, M = menu,
E = empathy, S = self-efficacy. The FCU can be used as a stand-alone, brief intervention or as a framework for building a relationship and continuing treatment
with a family. Most families continue treatment, which is guided by the assessment conducted during the FCU.

Kinda a Technical blog
This is the place where I put things I don't know where to put.
Webserver background noise
Here are the requests my webserver with no actual traffic gets from automated scripts and bots. These act as a constant background noise in the logs and I just find it interesting what trends are going on.
Helospark is now on h2
Finally helospark.com is also available via HTTP/2.0.
The Java world was in a bit of a lag to support h2 but the (beta) support has arrived with Java 9 and Tomcat 9.

The other day a package arrived. 'Girls!' I called, 'I've got something special here for you…'
'A new Barbie!' they squealed, recognising the packaging. I handed over the dolls, then watched for their reactions. 'Heeeeeeey,' seven-year-old Big Sis exclaimed, 'there's something different about these!' 'Is there?' I feigned ignorance. 'What, exactly?'
She studied them for a while, before holding one up. 'Well, this one is bigger than the others.' I nodded. 'Do you know why that is?' She shook her head. 'In the real world, does everyone look like the old Barbie, or do some people look more this new one?' She thought for a while, before answering: 'Some people look more like this new one.'
'What can you tell me about your doll?' I asked five-year-old Lil Sis. 'Her skin is very brown,' she replied. 'And what do you think about that?' 'I think she looks beautiful,' she replied.
I grew up playing with Barbies, but back then the only body shape was super skinny, and the only variation was blonde or brunette. Thirty years later not much had changed, which – if I'm honest – gave me slight reservations about my own girls playing with the dolls.
I loved seeing them role playing and using their imaginations, but was also conscious that they're growing up in a world that already places too much importance on looks. I didn't want them getting a skewed view about what was a 'normal' look; I wanted them to understand that beauty comes in EVERY shape, size and skin colour.
Which is why I was so excited to hear that Mattel were releasing Barbies with three new body shapes (curvy, tall and petite), seven skin tones and 24 different hairstyles. AND they've reconfigured the doll's dimensions to remove the unrealistic (dangerous, even) thigh gap. You can see more about THE EVOLUTION here.
What a brilliant leap in the right direction: I love that the toy industry is finally breaking out of the 'blonde hair, blue eyes' beauty stereotype, and that my girls will be learning about diversity while they play. Now every little girl will be able to go BARBIE shopping, and find one they can identify with.
Isn't that amazing?!

Pluribus Networks will be highlighting how our Netvisor® OS and the Adaptive Cloud Fabric™ interoperates with VMware® NSX to simplify the creation of VXLAN tunnels on whitebox open networking switches at VMworld 2017 in Las Vegas.
Importance of Integration & Interoperability with VMware
Our integration and interoperability with VMware is important for environments that have virtualized, bare-metal, and containerized workloads for the following reasons:
- Most customers can't create a greenfield architecture and have to deal with a substantial amount of legacy architectures while pieces of the stack are virtualized and containerized
- Despite these complexities, administrators want to have uniform connectivity, and using VXLAN-overlays over a Layer 3 BGP/ECMP is a logical approach to address this need
- Server connectivity is quickly moving to 25Gbps and software-based tunnels can be very expensive and represent heavy I/O workloads
- Combining server-based software overlays with switch-based hardware overlays, while using NSX and vSphere simplifies operations and lowers both CAPEX and OPEX
Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches running the Netvisor OS can perform VXLAN offload at line rates of 25 and 100G, without adding any unwanted CPU loads or additional latency to the flow. This is a big requirement in latency-and cost-sensitive Enterprise and Telco cloud environments where the Netvisor OS already has many production deployments.
Advantages of Netvisor OS and the Adaptive Cloud Fabric coupled with VMware NSX
Most silicon used in ToR switches today can perform VXLAN encapsulation and decapsulation at line rate, without adding latency to the flows. The NSX system can terminate software tunnels on Netvisor OS enabled hardware switches (see figure below) through a hardware-accelerated VTEP. The Netvisor OS and the Adaptive Cloud Fabric provides a fabric-wide view and automates tunnel orchestration between these switches. Netvisor OS uses the distributed vPort table to automatically map destination flows to tunnels, further simplifying and scaling the operation.
For bare metal and containerized workloads, tunnels originate and terminate on a Netvisor enabled ToR switch, creating an overlay over the layer 3 network, or a network stretching across a WAN boundary. The Netvisor OS provides the HW-VTEP L2-Gateway for virtualized workloads and terminates and optimizes the NSX tunnels. In the figure below, each leaf switch pair represents a server rack where the first 2 racks and are fully virtualized to support the software overlays orchestrated by NSX controller while the 3rd and 4th rack are containerized and bare-metal respectively in a full HA configuration. In this example, NSX seamlessly orchestrates software tunnels terminating on the Netvisor OS to allow virtualized workloads to communicate with bare-metal and containerized workloads. Also, the Netvisor OS automatically creates tunnels and assigns flows to a specific tunnel when containerized and bare-metal workloads need to communicate.
All this works seamlessly and is orchestrated through vCenter minimizing the need for additional network configurations. The technical and business advantages are:
- The Netvisor OS automates tunnel orchestration between switches and uses its distributed vPort database to assign flows to tunnels without any flood and learn or needing other tools
- The Netvisor OS supports Anycast Gateway and distributed routing that helps avoids east-west hair-pinning in a centralized router environment that interoperates with NSX distributed logical router for virtualized workloads
- The Adaptive Cloud Fabric is automatically provisioned based on vSAN cluster configuration, and simplifies VXLAN implementation, enabling the combination of VSAN and NSX without requiring a complex Multicast design. Since the Netvisor OS supports encapsulated VSAN traffic over a VXLAN segment, it provides a simple layer 2 domain for all vSAN hosts, eliminating the need to design a layer 3 Multicast network specifically to support vSAN implementations
- Containerized and bare-metal workloads can co-exist with virtualized workloads seamlessly in an overlay plus layer 3 topology
- Integration between NSX and Netvisor OS reduces human touchpoints, simplifies deployments, speeding time to deployment and minimizing the chance of configuration errors

It all started with some heather.
This spindly purple plant that just sat on a makeshift end-cap in the garden section of Lowes. We had gone there for some hanging plants for the front porch- but the heather came home with us too. I know nothing about gardening, or flowers and I have successfully killed every green thing that I have brought into my house, but for some reason I wanted that heather to come home with me. We had some planters in the garage that were left by the previous owners, still occupied by dead and brittle plants and I envisioned sitting on the front porch with Lilly and replanting that Heather, recycling what might have been trash, pushing my hands into the dirt and feeling it ooze between my fingers. Maybe taking a break from intellectualizing, get back to some basics. But a question kept lingering in my mind- is this me? Am I person who gardens? I guess the answer is yep.
Anyone who knows me knows that when I set my mind to something I do it; some people call this trait stubborn- I like to call it persistence- I mean I am the person who taught herself to knit from a book. And I never do anything half-way, so I also bought a little package of gardening tools-
which matching pink Dora ones of course so that I could appease my small helper. Add an appropriate sized watering can for us each and we were on our way. First of course, Lilly had to skip around the yard-
hopefully wearing herself out for a nap. And then we had to play with the plotting soil for a while before we actually used it to plant anything. It was messy, but fun.
We didn't forget the hanging plants- I think they looked great on the front porch (yes I said looked, here's a hint- don't get attached to them).
And that heather-which I thought I would put on the porch on either side of the steps to the house actually went down into the yard where it would get a bit more sun.
And then it was time to give them a little drink of water-, which included Lilly watering some dandelions, over and over again.
She really enjoyed the watering of the dandelions, which gave us a small flood near the porch. But hey we had puddles without the rain, so I call it a win!
The heather, which I though would be thorny, is actually very soft and tough it seems, especially with the way my assistant handled the potting.
I am convinced now, of course that I need to tackle the flower beds in the front yard which haven't been touched in, I would guess, years. But the front yard is pretty shady- so we will have to pick something that can grow without a lot of direct sunlight. I have also decided to dry a raised bed garden in the backyard, maybe grow some veggies and the next project which is going to be the back deck with some container gardening. I don't know I guess I am still trying to figure out what I want to do to fill up my time this summer- you know besides the two year old.

Snack Review
Buy tortilla chips on Amazon #ad
Taste test: These tortilla chips had somewhat irregular dippable shapes, much like the Ancient Grains version, but in this case the color of the chips was just light beige and not yellow at all, with lots of black spots.
We crunched in to find a very mild flavor, with minimal salt and not a lot of corn taste. There did seem to be a bit of a bean taste among the corn, but it was quite mild. The chips were fairly thick and had a good strength for dipping, so it worked well for scooping up some fairly watery salsa, as well as some thick hummus.
Shop: Buy tortilla chips on Amazon #ad
Smell test: Kind of a mix of salty tortilla chips and beans Pretty good.
From the package: "It's got Flavor. It's got Crunch. It's got Dippability. It's everything you expect from Cape Cod™, but now in a tortilla chip. The Four Bean Dipping Shells Power all of the goodness of Bean Blacks, Red Beans, Adzuki Beans and Pinto Beans into a full-of-flavor, crunchy chip."

I bought couple of shoes from you and they made a huge difference in my child's walking. She walks better and her foot gradually stopped going inwards. I went to the doctor many times and he told me she will outgrow it - it never happened. It got worst and worst. Finally, I found your site and read all the info about the shoes. I had no clue that quality shoes are such important for children to wear. No pediatrician mentions that to any mother in USA, since none of my friends who have children have any idea. So, I purchased few pairs in 2009 and I kept her in quality shoes only that I got from you. They made a huge difference over time - she walk better immediately but her foot took a while to line up straight. Now, you can hardly notice anymore. Those shoes work 100%! Also the high price is not shocking to me anymore weighting a benefit to a child's feet. I honestly believe that Europeans know what they are producing and that is why they have such well formed feet.

It is so difficult to buy such fantastic shoes in Turkey so your store will be a source for quality shoes. I truly appreaciate, Akram D. from Istambul

As trends change, you might want to keep up with them without buying a whole new wardrobe. Tapering your jeans can completely alter their style, and you don't have to be a seamstress to do it successfully. First narrow the lower leg and then make a new hem to convert your flares to a straight or skinny jean.
Part 1 of 2:
Narrowing the Lower Leg
1Put on your jeans inside out. Before you start making permanent changes to your jeans, put them on inside out and pull and pinch the excess fabric around the inner calf and ankle area that you'd like to make more narrow. Doing this while the jeans are inside out is best because you'll need to alter the inside seams to taper the jean correctly.[1] X Research source
2Mark the area you want taken in. Using a washable fabric marker or chalk, mark small dots in a straight line where you're pinching the fabric. These dots should start right below your knees and continue down to the very bottom of the pant legs.
- Give yourself just a little extra room around the thicker part of the calf. You don't want to make them too tight to put on and take off.[2] X Research source
3Pin the bunched material together. After you've taken the jeans off, use sewing pins to pin together the fabric at the dots you marked. The pinning should simulate the pinching you did while you were wearing the jeans. [3] X Research source
4Sew and cut excess fabric. Using a sewing machine, sew along the dotted lines that you created on each pant leg from below the knees to the bottom of the jeans. Once you do this, use scissors to cut off the extra fabric, including the old seams. Make sure not to cut any closer to your new seams than ¼ inch or ½ inch.[4] X Research source
5Sew the fabric together where you just cut off the old material. At this point, the raw edges that are exposed will need to be secured. In order to prevent fraying, sew the raw edges together using a zigzag stitch pattern. It may be difficult to make this look attractive, but that's okay because this stitch won't ever be visible while you're wearing the jeans.[5] X Research sourceAdvertisement
Part 2 of 2:
Making a New Hem
1Put your jeans back on and cuff your preferred new hem length. Put your jeans back on, but the right way this time. Your jeans should now be much more fitted from your knee down, but the very bottoms of your jeans are most likely still too wide. Cuff your jeans so that the old hem is where you want your jeans to end. This decision will depend greatly on exactly what kind of jean you're aiming to create.
- Skinny jeans should end at the top of the ankle.
- Straight leg jeans should end at the bottom of your ankle, just before your foot.
- Ankle jeans should fall at the slimmest part of the ankle.[6] X Research source
2Pin your cuffs. While keeping the jeans on, use sewing pins vertically to mark where you'll sew, making sure that the vertical pin tops all line up evenly and are equidistant from the bottom of the fabric.[7] X Research source
3Sew across the pin tops and then cut off excess fabric. Take your jeans off and sew horizontal lines where your pin tops are. Once you're done, you can cut the bottom of your pants off, leaving about a quarter or half inch of fabric below where you just sewed.[8] X Research source
4Zigzag stitch the edges to keep them from fraying. Just as you needed to create a zigzag stitch along the inside of the raw edges running vertically, you'll need to do the same horizontally on the bottom of the jeans.[9] X Research source
5Flip right side in and iron smooth. Turn the edge back under so that you can see the original hem and iron over the bottom of the jeans to smooth and flatten them out.[10] X Research sourceAdvertisement
Community Q&A
QuestionOn Step 3, "Pin the bunched material together," do I only pin the outside of the pant leg, or do I also do the inside?T. ChinsenTop AnswererUnless the section below the knee is extremely flared, you are correct in that only the outside of the pant leg is reduced. The shaping of all pants is usually straightest on the inseam. The outer seam will have the curvature for the leg shape.
