During its regular meeting Tuesday, the Anniston City Council approved spending $180,000 to help create three pre-K classes for the Anniston school system. The new classes will help lessen some of the backlog of children waiting to enroll in the city's pre-K program. Meanwhile, the pre-K classes will help more students perform better academically in their later years and possibly achieve more overall success in life, some education experts say.
Anniston schools Superintendent Joan Frazier said the money will be used to hire teachers for the classes, the plan being to place one class at Golden Springs Elementary and two classes at Constantine Elementary. The school system offers three pre-K classes to date, including two at Golden Springs and one at Constantine.
Frazier said there is a growing demand for early education in the school system.
"We have waiting lists of students," Fraizer said.
According to the resolution the council passed to allocate the funding, there are enough students on the waiting list to fill three classrooms.
Frazier said she is a huge fan of pre-K education for children.
"The sooner we can get children in a literacy-rich environment, statistics show that it will help those children perform better throughout their school career," Frazier said.
Allison de la Torre, executive director for the Alabama School Readiness Alliance, an organization that advocates for quality pre-K education in the state, said the benefits of early education are well-documented and significant.
"Children who have high-quality pre-K education are more likely to succeed — to read at grade level by third grade and then go on into success in college and in their careers," de la Torre said.
De la Torre said her organization considers high-quality pre-kindergarten education to be classes taught by teachers with at least a bachelor's degree in education and specialized training in early development education.
Megan Carolan, policy research coordinator for the National Institute for Early Education Research, a New Jersey-based research and policy organization, said early education programs also help local school systems.
"It reduces school retention, helping school districts spend less of their funding to teach the same students again," Carolan said.
Carolan said that in addition to helping students perform better in their school lives, studies show that pre-school classes have other long-term benefits. She said the first five years of a child's life are extremely important to their long-term development because their brains are still developing at that age.
"In studies that compare students in pre-K to students who were not, the students in the pre-K were less likely to be arrested, less likely to have teen pregnancy and less likely to start smoking," Carolan said.
Councilman Seyram Selase said he was pleased the council approved the funding for the early education classes.
"This shows our commitment to education and that we do support education," Selase said.
Mayor Vaughn Stewart said he strongly supported the new pre-kindergarten classes.
"Every national study shows the benefits of pre-K and this is going to make an impact in our school system," Stewart said.
In addition to the classes, the council approved $25,000 to establish another after-school program for the school system. The system's current after-school program focuses on tutoring, Frazier said. The new program, which will be administered by the local YMCA, will provide quality after-school child care for all the city's elementary school students, she said.
Also during the meeting, the council gave City Manager Brian Johnson permission to begin searching for an economic development consultant. Johnson said he expects the city to hire a consulting firm on a temporary basis at first, with the overall plan being to hire a full-time, in-house consultant by the spring.
"This is not a permanent solution, this is just to make the city ready to hire a permanent consultant and to also help with economic development," Johnson said.
Stewart said the idea is to have someone whose sole job is to look for economic development opportunities for the entire city.
"We want our own economic developer who will wake up every morning and think, jobs, jobs, jobs," Stewart said.
In other business the council:
• Approved a $380,100 contract with APAC Mid-South for street resurfacing work through the city.
• Approved a voluntary investment retirement option for city employees to supplement their main pension retirement plans.
• Appointed Will Clay as an alternate public defender for the municipal court.
• Appointed Ellen Bass to the Regional Medical Center Board.

Wilts & Berks Canal volunteers win award
9:34am Wednesday 18th December 2013 in Latest News
Hard working volunteers have been rewarded with a prestigious prize for their efforts restoring a historic Wiltshire canal.
The Melksham, Chippenham and Calne branch of the Wilts and Berks Canal Trust has received the Tony Davy Award.
The engraved crystal – named after the charity's first chairman – is won by the branch with the highest number of hours donated by volunteers during the previous year.
Local supporters work-ed on almost 130 days during 2012/13, providing almost 9,000 hours of free labour.
The branch is focusing its efforts on the former stretch of canal between Melksham and Chippenham, dredging the canal and widening the towpath.
Branch chairman Derek Flexer said: "This latest accolade is evidence of the strength of local support for the canal restoration campaign. It is a real tribute to the commitment of everyone involved in our local projects."

Nanjing R6: first win for Topalov as Jakovenko blunders
A terrible blunder by Dmitry Jakovenko allowed Veselin Topalov to score his first win in round 6 of the Pearl Spring tournament. Magnus Carlsen was under pressure throughout the game with Black against Peter Leko, but held a worse ending to a draw, while Teimour Radjabov and Wang Yue drew quickly.
The 2nd Pearl Spring tournament takes place September 27 - October 9 in Nanjing, China. It's a 6-player, double round-robin with Topalov (2813), Carlsen (2772), Leko (2762), Radjabov (2757), Jakovenko (2742) and Wang Yue (2736) playing for a € 250,000 prize fund. The rate of play is 40 moves in 90 minutes plus 1 hour.
Round 6
After the first rest day the Pearl Spring Grand Slam tournament resumed on Sunday. The batteries recharged, Topalov took some risks today in his Black game against Jakovenko and in the end it paid off. Opting for the Grünfeld, the Bulgarian came up with a sharp novelty on move 14 and soon afterwards it became clear that he fully played for a win. 16...Nxa1 seems like a pretty safe option or Black but instead Topalov decided to sacrifice his knight on h5 in return for a dangerous attack. The White king was lured to f3 but Jakovenko defended strongly. Just when the Russian was about to start consolidating his material plus, he committed a gross blunder while the players weren't even in serious time trouble. A welcome gift for the world's number one, who needed a boost to start, well, yet another comeback perhaps!?
No matter how good your form is, a Black game against Leko is never an easy task. Carlsen also went for the Grünfeld against the Hungarian's 1.d4 and a position we've seen four times last week in Valencia quickly appeared on the board. Black's 11...e5 was probably an attempt to keep the game enjoyable, but a few powerful moves by Leko later, Carlsen might have regretted his choice. There was nothing better than sacrificing an exchange for a pawn, but Black's compensation in fact was probably just about enough. After the queens were swapped, Carlsen quite easily held the ending.
Radjabov-Wang Yue was a very quick draw and the reasons seems to be that the Azeri grandmaster got confused about the opening. His opponent surprised him with the Queen's Gambit Declined, which the Chinese had only played twice before in 2007, and despite the fact that he had played the position himself several times before, Radjabov apparently mixed up some moves to end up in a theoretical position that's impossible to search for in the database because White is supposed to have the move there. Bailing out with 13.Bxf6 and 14.d5 was a boring but understandable choice.
Today we saw what the concept "fighting player" actually means. Carlsen's 11...e5 avoided simplification, and so did Topalov's 16...Nxe3. Both moves were risky, but at the same time kept more practical winning chances. It's nice to see these two fighters currently topping the live rating list.

"Topalov wins after blunder Jakovenko" - what kind of English is that?
4 years 6 months ago
It is Dutch English...
BTW. Today Dutch female volleyball team is playing for gold in European Championships against Italy at 20:00 CET.
What a wise decision of Carlsen not to overdrive today with the black pieces against Leko, who had suffered a very painfull defeat against Magnus in the 1st round of the tournament. Tomorrow we are going to see the "highlight" of the Pearl Spring event, when Topalov with white is seeking revenge for his defeat in the 2nd round, I guess!

A huge blunder by Jakovenko, i simply do not know how 2700 player make such mistake.
Apparently Carlsen cannot do _anything_ wrong .... : His/their (including Kasparov) opening preparation may have gone wrong, he then had to sacrifice (or "throw") an exchange and defend a (slightly) inferior ending, and this is "a wise decision not to overdrive"?!
Don't get me wrong, but "no need to hype Carlsen" after such a game!?
@JustBe: Have a look at the new title of this article :) - indeed Peter Doggers is not a native speaker, I wonder if cashparov and newage would prefer to have this website (only) in Dutch!?
To THOMAS: Sorry, don´t get me (!) wrong: No HYPE to Carlsen, but is is more than noteworthy to mention now, that Bobby Fischer (too often) has "overdriven" some of his games from a psychological point of view - leading to some avoidable defeats! Maybe G.K. is (nearly permanently) in contact to M.C. by IT-means - not surprising -
to avoid just those desasters, which could have happened even today! So "What a progress"!
Dr. Berghorn, while you are not the only one comparing Carlsen with Bobby Fischer (also some posters at Dailydirt), this doesn't mean that he would copy "all of Fischer" - certainly not some of Fischer's character traits which were interpreted as signs of mental illness ... . But as far as OTB chess is concerned, maybe Fischer could "afford" some overdriving and avoidable defeats, given that he was so dominant in his time.
Regarding "no overdrive", I do not even think Kasparov's advice and influence is required - but it may be another hype to look for "signs of GK" in everything Carlsen now does or does not ... . It is relatively normal for players to slow down after a commanding early lead. Recent examples:
Topalov at the San Luis WCh (6.5/7 followed by seven draws)
Ivanchuk at MTel 2008 (5/5 followed by 3/5)
Nakamura at San Sebastian 2009 [even losing his early lead, having to rely on his blitz skills to win the tiebreak]

According to Carlsen's father, Magnus was worn out at the end of the first half of the tournament. It might have looked like easy wins but it took a lot out of him. IMHO most Super GM's would have lost to Leko today.
To say it in German: "Der Verzicht nimmt nicht, der Verzicht gibt" (Martin Heidegger, Philosoph, + 1976)

Sorry, I know I'm off topic, but I can resist anything except temptation!
Never mind that, Janis. In Holland we're so used to losing finals that this one surely won't change our moods very much :-)

ASHVILLE — The St. Clair County Sports Hall of Fame inducted its ninth class this past Saturday at a banquet, held at First Baptist Church Ashville.
Seven new members now bring the total number of members inducted into the Hall of Fame to 79.
The seven new members are Rod Daffron, Marshall Hartley, Jr., Anthony Looney, Brian Mintz, Erroll Newton, Rookie Smith, Jr. and Brian Terry.
The SCCSHOF was established in Nov. 2004, when a dream of Larry Bothwell's became a reality. Each January, it hosts a banquet to induct deserving men and women.
For the second consecutive year, the Hall of Fame awarded a $500 college scholarship to a deserving St. Clair County high school student-athlete planning on attending college. This year, the winner was Ragland senior Devane Brewster.
Rod Daffron
Daffron was introduced by Joe Dorough. Daffron graduated from Ragland High School in 1957, where he played football and basketball.
"This is a great honor," Daffron said. "I never imagined myself in this capacity. I never thought that highly of myself for what happened in sports, although high school sports had a big impact on my life."
Daffron remembered Jack Ford, who played on the very first Ragland football team in 1952.
"I was the manager for that team as an eighth-grader," Daffron said. "Jack was a good friend of mine, even when I went off to junior college to play football. George Eden was our coach, and an inspiration to all of us."
Daffron served as a Methodist minister for 32 years.
"I served churches in Georgia, Mississippi, and Alabama," Daffron said. "I had the highest honor of doing Coach George Eden's funeral. It was very sad, but very inspirational for me."
Marshall Hartley, Jr.
Hartley was introduced by Gary Hanner. Hartley graduated from Pell City High School in 1972, and lettered in football, basketball and baseball.
In 1979, he was hired as a teacher/coach at St. Clair High School and has been in Odenville ever since.
"This is a very humbling experience for an old boy who started life in Coal City," Hartley said. "I came to Odenville expecting to stay a couple of years and move on. Well, 34 years later, I'm still at Odenville.
"It's an honor and privilege to be a member of this elite group of men and women of character. I'm just so glad to be here. I am honored. I just want to thank everybody just for remembering me."
Anthony Looney
Looney was introduced by Coach Raymond Farmer. Looney graduated from Ashville High School in 1985 where he played football and basketball and ran track.
"I think it is a great honor to be inducted into the St. Clair County Sports Hall of Fame," Looney said. "There are a good group of men being inducted tonight, and it is such a privilege."
When asked if he thought this would ever happen to him, Looney said not this early.
"I thought maybe it would one day, but I thought it would be on down the road," he said. "There are so many deserving athletes out there."
He thanked coaches Raymond Farmer and Larry Touart for being such good role models for him at school.
Brian Mintz
Mintz was introduced by Coach Jonathan Nix. Mintz graduated from Southside High School in 1981. His coaching career started and ended at Ragland as football coach, and he led the Purple Devils to the state playoffs in each of the last eight years he was there.
"It is a great honor to be recognized for what you have done and accomplished," Mintz said. "I've been very fortunate to have a lot of good kids at Ragland. They made up good teams, and it's not really so much about me as it is these kids that came out and performed week after week and year after year for me."
Erroll Newton
Newton was introduced by Gary Hanner. Newton graduated from Ashville High School in 1979, and played basketball and football. He thanked Coach Coy Smith for being like a second father to him while in high school.
"I was just another spoke on that wheel under Coach Coy Smith's regime," Newton said. "Anybody that has come through Ashville's system, and made contributions, they all know we have a good system. We had some good coaches and some good players. I am just honored to be here."
Rookie Smith
Smith was introduced by Steve Nelson. Smith graduated from Ragland High School in 1976, and played football, basketball and baseball. He is best known for being an umpire and referee in various sports through the years.
"This is so humbling and gratifying," Smith said. "It is a real honor. Being an umpire and referee all these years has helped me to stay close to the sports that I love. Being inducted into the Hall of Fame is an honor and just icing on the cake.
"Watching all these kids grow up and enjoy sports has been a blessing. Being part of their lives has been humbling."
Brian Terry
Terry was introduced by two of his former track stars at Leeds, Moses Stone and Joseph Callaway. Terry graduated from Springville High School in 1986 where he excelled in football, basketball and track.
As a high school track coach at Leeds, Terry led the Green Wave to 12 straight state championships.
"It's just a honor to be here tonight," Terry said. "It is humbling that I was selected. It is something I will treasure for the rest of my life. I am thrilled that my wife, daughter, and parents are here to share in this with me.
"This is just a wonderful thing the Hall of Fame does. To be able to see coaches like Raymond Farmer, Coy Smith and Ernie Bagley was just a pleasure. It is important that this Hall of Fame continues."

So, I have an arcpy based script where I'm trying to intersect two layers where one layer must have its centroid in the other layer. Since I need to know that one layer (feature_layer below) includes the centroid of the other, I'm using the arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management() tool. In order to do this, I have to create a feature layer (documentation) to feed into it. The documentation notes that the feature layer will be disappear when the program exits, but I need it to disappear sooner since I have it in a loop similar to below
for feature_class in large_list_of_feature_classes:
def some_function():
feature = "{path to feature class}"
feature_layer = "feature_layer"
HUCs_layer = "all_HUCs" #HUCs being Hydrologic Unit Codes
arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(feature, feature_layer)
arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(feature, HUCs_layer)
arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management(HUCs_layer, "HAVE_THEIR_CENTER_IN", feature_layer, selection_type="NEW_SELECTION")
arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(HUCs_layer, selection_name)
I'm looking for a function to remove feature layers and I haven't been able to find one. I realize I could put some sort of count in there or something to make each one unique within the scope of the program, but that's not ideal unless there is no way to remove feature layers.
Thanks in advance. Let me know if I didn't explain anything well enough.

Way over 100, and if you consider that each is about half an hour long, that's a lot of time spent on tv... Time which could be spent on more productive things... such as browsing forums.

Re: Naruto studio
Do any of you think you could sum up in a few words why Naruto is so supposedly cool? I saw a few episodes and it's just like most other animes... nothing much stands out.

Re: Naruto studio
I'm a fan of Naruto, but if you watch either the english dubs or the anime fillers, then you will obviously hate it. And for myself I now hate the anime too. I instead read the manga which I havent downloaded for ages
Presenting the Prinny dance.
Take this dood! Huh doood!!! HUH DOOOOD!?!? DOOD HUH!!!!!! DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Naruto studio
Naruto is amazing, and now that I am a member I'm going to post something for basher's and supporter's so that clubs for supporters like this aren't tainted by unwelcome haters.
#12 2010-09-22 05:57:50
Re: Naruto studio
You do realise this thread has been long dead? And really to discuss Naruto you should just go on forums.narutofan.com because as much I love Naruto I appreciate that plenty of people here don't and they don't want to talk about it.
Dreams don't come true, you gotta make them come true.

Hi rida;
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
I have the result, but I do not yet know how to get it.
All physicists, and a good many quite respectable mathematicians are contemptuous about proof.

Orchard Thai's menu features well-spiced, authentic Thai dishes. Begin with the Thai summer roll, a montage of lettuce and carrots nestled within vermicelli noodles and served with hoisin sauce and crushed peanuts ($4), or sip your way into satisfaction with the traditional spicy lemongrass soup seasoned with kaffir leaves, lime and chili tamarind oil with chicken, tofu or shrimp ($5). The braised short rib massaman sautés potatoes and bell peppers in a sweet chilli sauce ($25), while the larb chicken lobs minced chicken with spicy red onion, cilantro, scallions, mint and lime into your mouth mitt ($18). Soothe spice-laden palates with Thai iced coffee ($4) or sticky coconut rice crowned with a fleshy slab of mango ($7).
Although Thai cuisine typically earns praise for its bold, spicy flavor combinations, the chefs at Red Bamboo Thai Restaurant aim to make their cuisine accessible to all palates, personalizing the level of spice from mild to Thai hot. Using red, green, and yellow curry pastes, the culinarians lend a piquant touch to the fragrant combinations of basil, coconut milk, and scratch-and-sniff bamboo shoots that make up the menu. They also wield sweet and spicy chili sauces to lend dichotomous flavors to entrees such as deep-fried red snapper or prawns.
Although each bite of food features complex combinations of herbs and spices, the dining room embraces a more subdued aesthetic. Earth-toned walls surround the booths and tables, remaining relatively unadorned except for a scattered collection of framed pictures and small tapestries.
Aiming to emulate the tucked-away wine bars and cafes of Europe, Le Rouge Wine Bar and Tapas accommodates its guests in the low-lit, loungey atmosphere with chic, comfortable chairs and warm tones. Of course, there's wine. Along one wall, rows of wine bottles are displayed adjacent to a line of intimate tables where couples share small plates, or wait for the next course in a tasting menu coupled with wine pairings.
In Asian Retreat And Nail Salon's stone manicures and pedicures, rocks take a starring role. Nail technicians ease tension from appendages with massaging stones, and handcrafted stones nestle between toes to stretch and relax the many muscles in each foot.

Canonsburg approves contract for 20 employees
Canonsburg Borough council Feb. 11 gave final approval to a three-year contract with its clerical, sewer plant and public works employees.
The new contract calls for a 70-cent per hour raise in 2013; 75-cent raise in 2014 and an 80-cent per hour raise in 2015.
In addition, the contract, between Canonsburg Borough and Teamsters Local 205, calls for a switch in health care providers for the 20 employees from Highmark to UPMC. The change is expected to save the borough approximately $300,000, according to borough manager Terry Hazlett.
There also is a change in hiring steps so that new hires will make 75 percent of the hourly rate, be paid 85 percent in the second year and 90 percent in the third year with the employee making 100 percent of the job classification rate in the fourth year.
There also will be a pension plan contribution with employees contributing 1.5 percent of their gross wages this year, 1.75 in the second year and 2 percent in the third year of the contract.
Another change in the contract is to allow employees to reside anywhere within 10 air miles of the borough building.
The contract was approved by the union last month.
In other business, council agreed to have Jordan Tax Service to initiate sheriff's sale proceedings to collect delinquent garbage bills.
Canonsburg stipulates that residents and businesses must pay a quarterly garbage bill, whether or not a structure is occupied.
According to Hazlett, about 60 of 3,800 people in the borough owe on their garbage bills, and some of those "haven't paid for years." The delinquencies total about $80,000, he said.
Council also approved a retirement request from Hazlett, who is in his 11th year in the position.
The vacant position will now be advertised with councilmen Rich Russo, Fran Coleman and Joe McGarry named to the manager search committee. Michael Foreman, local government policy specialist for the state Department of Community and Economic Development, will assist in the hiring process.

When is the B5 coming out?
We do not have any word on the the new COMBATs that will be released.
Is this bat stiff?
The 2013 COMBAT Pure: PURESL1 -10 Senior League will have more flex than most one-piece bats because of the gear technology in the handle of the bat.
My 10 year old son has been using an older Easton Stealth Speed composite (2 5/8", 30" 20 oz.) for the past year, and we're looking to replace it. Any suggestions for a similarly balanced bat?
This 2013 COMBAT Pure: PURESL1 -10 Senior League bat is a balanced, one-piece composite model and would have a comparable swing feel to his previous bat. For the model that would be most similar to the Stealth composite bat, check out the 2013 Easton S1: SL13S110.
Product Description
New for 2013! Pure Engineering, Pure Feel, Pure Power... PURE GENIUS! The COMBAT Pure senior league baseball bat brings a sleek design and one-piece composite power to baseball diamonds everywhere this season! This composite design begins with Blended Fiber Technology which uses several different fibers in varying proportions at carefully controlled angles. Then, using their Anisotropic Composite Technology, they vary the stiffness along the handle to reduce vibration, and at different points along the barrel to give the Pure a softer feel. In their never ending quest to achieve maximum performance and durability, COMBAT uses Variable Stiffness Technology that allows COMBAT's engineers to lower stiffness on both sides of the sweet spot in order to double its size, while still maintaining its strength! Gear Technology is also used inside the bat to give the Pure BBCOR a softer feel and greater performance on hits toward the taper. Swing the purest senior league bat on the market this season, and swing the COMBAT Pure! COMBAT: For Players, By Players! The COMBAT Pure features the USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Posted 21 May 2009 - 08:18 PM

The version must be if this type : "0.0.0.0" It must contain 3 dots and four integer values. That is why you get that error
Edit strings not working, it had never worked for me always says "The version is not correctly introduced.please re-type it." While i know that the entries are correct.

I don't get that icon display box I get an explorer view I have tested it with 1.2 Final still the same result. See screenshot?
That happened in earlier version than 1.2 Final when 7zs.sfx was missing. However, i fixed this in 1.2 Final. Can you check plugins folder one more time ?
Posted 03 November 2009 - 04:12 PM
well this is a fantastic app! so far lovin it, however havin a slight issue when tryin to use it to do a silent installer of office 2003.
It goes through ok, then when it gets to the final point of "changing icons & strings" i get an AutoIT error, stating "error allocating memory"
Any ideas?!
Posted 03 November 2009 - 11:44 PM
Just did a test and it worked fine for me. How much amount of RAM do you have ? Which is the size of your virtual memory ?
When SFXMaker changes the icon and the RT_VERSION strings, it opens the file(switchless installer) for writing and searches for binary raw data to replace. Icon is replaced succesfully (it is done via ResHacker) and the problem you have seems to be with the strings. I'll see what i can do about it
Best of luck !

Say I have a SFX config file like below:
;The comment below contains SFX script commands
Shortcut=P, utorrent.exe, "µTorrent 1.8.5", , "uTorrent 1.8.5 Build 17091",
How do I use the tool to enter this information and create the EXE?
Also what does create Nlite Addon do, is that grab the entries file from somewhere?

You have to select the file you want to create a switchless installer for, specify the switches and a path for the switchless installer basically. Anyway, i write a manual for the next version.
Best of luck.

In your case, SFXMaker cannot recognize the silent switches of the installer.
The detection engine is a bit outdated, will be updated in the next version.
Until then, the best choice for you is to search for switches online

My question is, do I need to setup anything software-wise on the PC side for the TViX to see/play the files, or can they simply sit on any of my shared HD folders as they are now, and be accessed? If there is more to "serving" them, where might I learn more about setting that up? (NAS?)

Hydromax wearable water supply for football players
Hydromax is a wearable hydration system designed for use in football
Article Summary
When you think of the hazards involved in playing American-style football, things like being slammed to the ground and buried under a stack of bulky opponents probably come to mind. One of the big dangers, however, is dehydration – this is particularly true for children, or athletes in southern states. While water is usually available at the sidelines, players may risk developing heat stroke before they have a chance to get to it. The Hydromax system is designed to keep that from happening, by supplying each player with their own wearable, armor-protected water supply.

"River, I'd like to introduce you to my friend, Novice. Novice, this is my old friend, River. By the end of the day, you guys are going to be great friends."
Like a lot of blind dates, how this goes depends a lot on you, the experienced paddler, who naturally want to introduce friends to an activity about which you are so passionate. What could possibly go wrong?
Are your friends compatible?
We love our friend River (or Lake, or Ocean), and we love our friend Novice. We really want them to get along. After all, you've been friends with both River and Novice for years. You may have mentioned River to Novice after a particularly satisfying paddle. Novice may be gung ho about meeting River.
Before you get out the calendar, think hard about River's personality. While you may be accustomed to River's penchant for playing tricks on you, this quirk may not suit Novice. Maybe other more predictable friends are better suited, at least for a first date.
You'll also want to think hard about Novice's abilities. Paddling skills aren't the deciding factor, but rather a willingness to look dumb, take a (safe) swim, and his or her flexibility.
If your friends aren't ready to meet today, that's okay. Maybe Novice needs a little time in a less stressful setting before jumping in with both feet. You probably talk up your friend River with nothing but enthusiasm. Just be careful not to oversell the experience. River is complex.
Is the timing right?
Timing is everything. Novice might love to meet River on a lazy summer afternoon, which is when many rivers look and act their best. Novice might be interested in River in late April, but it may be best to wait a little. Maybe Novice should take a date with Pond first in the early season.
Does Novice need some instruction?
You're probably an accomplished paddler. Maybe your friend Novice is new to the paddling scene. You're also a great friend and wing(wo)man. You'll coach your friend Novice through all this. You can do this in your sleep. You've known River for years.
I am a firm believer that instruction is helpful ... if it's the right kind of instruction. When teaching friends, there is always a danger of what I call the Mozart Paradox. While arguably one of the top composers of all time, Amadeus Mozart couldn't get the teaching rubber to the road. He couldn't keep students, infuriated patrons and generally was considered a disaster when it came to teaching. Mozart couldn't translate what he knew intuitively into a language his Novices could understand.
Your paddling skills might be considerable, but you might consider directing your friend Novice to a trained paddling instructor. The best ones are highly skilled and take great pride in teaching Novices what they need to get together with River. Even if you are a skilled instructor, you might consider letting someone else teach your close friends and relatives. My marriage of 29 years will likely make it to 30 because I let other people teach my wife paddling skills. She learned better and in the end emerged a better paddler.
The worst possible outcome is Novice deciding he or she wants nothing further to do with River or any member of River's family. While you're not responsible for Novice falling in love with River, you're responsible for making sure the conditions are conducive to riparian amour.
The blind date analogy only goes so far, but it works for the most part. So how do you increase your paddling pool?
More to consider
First, never stop evangelizing. For most of us paddlers, the evidence of our passion is fastened to the top of our vehicles. Opportunities to spread the Good News of paddling are everywhere. I can't count the number of times I've walked up to my truck and found people gawking at the kayak or canoe strapped on top. Luckily, I usually have some cards in the glove compartment which I'm willing to sign (good for a free rental).
Unless you, too, own your own paddling shop, your situation is probably different. But having the contact info for your local paddling organization may be a good start. Feeling a connection? Share your email.
Second, be a good ambassador. Like it or not, you are an ambassador. As such, I feel it is a responsibility to dispel any myths and misinformation about paddling.
Stop me if you've heard this before, kayakers: "You paddle a kayak? You'd never get me in one of those things. You tip over and get stuck ... go over waterfalls, etc." Such are the conversations you find yourself in when you wear your favorite hat or T-shirt from a kayak symposium.
To the people you encounter, you are the expert. It's your responsibility to set the record straight: "No ma'am, I don't live in my car. No, you don't get stuck and you don't have to go over waterfalls. No, you don't have to drink Red Bull and get a tongue piercing. I actually have a real job."
Not all the seeds you plant will take root, of course, but sometimes they do, and that's a wonderful thing. Novices become Participant and Participants become Enthusiasts.
Once upon a time, your were a Novice, too. Aren't you glad someone introduced you to River?

With $800 million earned within the first 24 hours of its release and $1 billion in its first three days on the market, "Grand Theft Auto V" has broken entertainment industry sales records, becoming the fastest-selling entertainment product in history. Developer Rockstar North and publisher Rockstar Games are no stranger to the limelight, however, as the "Grand Theft Auto" series sells well with each iteration. It is not strange that this title has broken all the records, though, as it is pure gold.

I've got a quiz for you today. Can you tell me which actor is going from playing the Caped Crusader to portraying Moses?
Movies show in and around Liberty County in the coming week include:
SAVANNAH - International bestselling author Tami Hoag will headline the Savannah Book Festival's spring 2014 event at noon May 8 at The Landings Plantation Club on Skidaway Island.
You've seen all three "Iron Man" flicks. You checked out "The Avengers" and the second "Thor" movie. Now, it's time to catch up with "the man out of time" in his solo sequel, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier." How does this Marvel Studios movie measure up?
Third Infantry Division soldiers and their families braved the rain Sunday to crowd into the Newman Fitness Center gymnasium for a free concert by Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band. The event was moved indoors due to rain and was delayed an hour, but that didn't keep attendees from waiting for and enjoying the show.
March 21 to April 19: You're doing better on the flexibility issue, but you still need to loosen up a bit to show you can be less judgmental and more understanding about certain sensitive matters.
SAVANNAH - The Savannah Sand Gnats will have their fourth annual "Pack the Park" game, benefiting Park Place Outreach - Youth Emergency Shelter, starting at 7:05 p.m. April 29 at Grayson Stadium.
Young-adult books remain crazy popular these days, but when it comes time to adapt them into major motion pictures, the results can vary. "Divergent," now in theaters, is based upon the best-selling trilogy from author Veronica Roth. Is it the new "Hunger Games?" Could be.

Comments On Dec 10, 2012:I bought this for my son for his stocking for Christmas and I was just disappointed in the quality. The stocking its self was like cheap material and the Motocross boot was literally a thin Iron on. It just looked like someone bought the cheapest stocking they could get and then ironed on a motocross boot. Disappointed.
