Graduate Employment and Work Experience
Whilst the AFL does not currently have a Work Experience or Graduate program in place, we do however from time to time utilise university students to assist with project assignments as they arise at the AFL as part of their course requirements.
When these opportunities arise we contact our partner Universities directly and ask them to advertise the opportunities among the students who are undertaking a relevant course in relation to the project requirements.
Career and employee development
The AFL is committed to working with employees to develop career paths that will enable them to maximise their contribution to the company, achieve job satisfaction, develop their marketability and reach their full potential.
We provide employees with on-the-job experience and training, and in some cases support their ongoing education.
Career development is a shared responsibility between each employee and their manager. The employee is responsible for taking the initiative by suggesting ways to develop their skills and broaden their experience. Managers are responsible for providing employees with feedback and appropriate opportunities to enhance their skills and take on more challenging roles and greater responsibility
Performance Management
The AFL is committed to effective performance management, through regular formal and informal feedback and review, and open communication.
Each employee participates in two formal review session per year, mid year and end of year. The purpose of performance reviews is to ensure objectives remain relevant to key business targets and gain feedback on performance.
Performance management may also involve:
Compensation and benefits
The AFL's compensation & benefits practices aim to attract, motivate and retain employees and align reward to relative performance.
When developing and reviewing remuneration and rewards policies and practices, we recognise the need to ensure that:
Indigenous Recruitment Strategy
At the AFL we believe the people in our business should be reflective of the community and the players we represent. Our Indigenous employment strategy aims to support the diversity values of the AFL and it's Affiliates' and our ability to be responsive to Indigenous people. In the way we have seen exhibited on the football field, Indigenous people bring a different perspective, creativity, ability and skill set to the workplace. Through improved community engagement, non-Indigenous Australia can benefit from Indigenous contribution.
Equality in employment
The AFL is committed to providing a work environment in which every employee is treated fairly and with respect.
Employment with the AFL is based on merit. All employees and applicants for employment will be treated and evaluated according to their job-related skills, qualifications, abilities and aptitudes only. Employment decisions based on attributes other than a person's qualification to perform a job — e.g. race, colour, gender, religion, personal associations, national origin, age, disability, political beliefs, HIV status, marital status, pregnancy, sexual orientation, or family responsibilities, are prohibited.
We have strong and clear policies prohibiting discrimination and harassment in the workplace and harassment or discrimination in any form at the AFL is unacceptable.
AFL Values
The AFL Values are our "team rules" which guide and influence all our actions and decision making.
Our LEGACY is to leave the game and communities in better shape for future generations.
We will achieve our legacy through being ACCOUNTABLE, PROGRESSIVE AND RESPECTFUL.
These values form a key part of our selection criteria

Vetiveria zizanioides |
Chrysopogon zizanioides, commonly known as vetiver (derived from Tamil word: வெட்டிவேர் vettiver) is a perennial grass of the Poaceae family, native to India. In western and northern India, it is popularly known as khus. Vetiver can grow up to 1.5 metres high and form clumps as wide. The stems are tall and the leaves are long, thin, and rather rigid; the flowers are brownish-purple. Unlike most grasses, which form horizontally spreading, mat-like root systems, vetiver's roots grow downward, 2–4 m in depth. Vetiver is most closely related to Sorghum but shares many morphological characteristics with other fragrant grasses, such as lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus), citronella (Cymbopogon nardus, C. winterianus), and palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii). Though it originates in India, vetiver is widely cultivated in the tropical regions of the world. The world's major producers include Haiti, India, Java, and Réunion. The most commonly used commercial genotypes of vetiver are sterile (do not produce fertile seeds), and because vetiver propagates itself by small offsets instead of underground stolons, these genotypes are noninvasive and can easily be controlled by cultivation of the soil at the boundary of the hedge. However, care must be taken, because fertile genotypes of vetiver have become invasive.[1] Vegetatively propagated, almost all vetiver grown worldwide for perfumery, agriculture, and bioengineering has been shown by DNA fingerprinting to be essentially the same nonfertile cultigen (called 'Sunshine' in the United States, after the town of Sunshine, Louisiana).[2]
The vetiver grass has a gregarious habit and grows in bunches. Shoots growing from the underground crown make the plant frost- and fire-resistant, and allow it to survive heavy grazing pressure. The leaves can become up to 120–150 cm long and 0.8 cm wide.[4] The panicles are 15–30 centimeters long and have whorled, 2.5–5.0 centimeters long branches.[4] The spikelets are in pairs, and there are three stamens.
The plant stems are erect and stiff. They can persist deep water flow. Under clear water, the plant can survive up to two months.
The root system of vetiver is finely structured and very strong. It can grow 3–4 m deep within the first year. Vetiver has no stolons nor rhizomes. Because of all these characteristics, the vetiver plant is highly drought-tolerant and can help to protect soil against sheet erosion. In case of sediment deposition, new roots can grow out of buried nodes.
Vetiver grass is grown for many different purposes. The plant helps to stabilise soil and protects it against erosion, but it can also protect fields against pests and weeds. Vetiver has favourable qualities for animal feed. From the roots, oil is extracted and used for cosmetics and aromatherapy. Due to its fibrous properties, the plant can also be used for handicrafts, ropes and more.
Soil and water conservation[edit]
Erosion control[edit]
Several aspects of vetiver make it an excellent erosion control plant in warmer climates. Unlike most grasses, it does not form a horizontal mat of roots; rather, the roots grow almost exclusively downward, 2–4 m, which is deeper than some tree roots.[3] This makes vetiver an excellent stabilizing hedge for stream banks, terraces, and rice paddies, and protects soil from sheet erosion. The roots bind to the soil, therefore it can not dislodge. Vetiver has also been used to stabilize railway cuttings/embankments in geologically challenging situations in an attempt to prevent mudslides and rockfalls, the Konkan railway in Western India being an example. The plant also penetrates and loosens compacted soils.[3]
The Vetiver system, a technology of soil conservation and water quality management, is based on the use of the vetiver plant.
Runoff mitigation and water conservation[edit]
The close-growing culms also help to block the runoff of surface water. It slows water's flow velocity and thus increases the amount absorbed by the soil (infiltration). It can withstand a flow velocity up to 5 metres per second (16 ft/s).[3]
Vetiver mulch increases water infiltration and reduces evaporation, thus protects soil moisture under hot and dry conditions. The mulch also protects against splash erosion.[3]
Crop protection and pest repellent[edit]
Vetiver can be used for crop protection. It attracts the stem borer (Chilo partellus), which lay their eggs preferably on vetiver. Due to the hairy architecture of vetiver, the larvae can not move on the leaves, fall to the ground and die.
The essential oil of vetiver has anti-fungal properties against Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn[5]
As a mulch, vetiver is used for weed control in coffee, cocoa and tea plantations. It builds a barrier in the form of a thick mat. When the mulch breaks down, soil organic matter is built up and additional nutrients for crops become available.
Vetiver as a termite repellent[edit]
Studies by Prof. Gregg Henderson found that vetiver extracts could repel termites.[6][7] However, vetiver grass alone, unlike its extracts, cannot be used to repel termites. Henderson planted vetiver in trash cans and hammered wooden stakes into the soil filled cans. He offered large population of termites the ability to move into the trash cans via another trash can, but found that although the vetiver root completely filled the cans in 6 months, the stakes were still attacked. The termites had moved around the roots and got to the wood. Unless the roots are damaged, the anti-termite chemicals, such as nootkatone, are not released. Henderson reports that his research on the idea of protection of a home with vetiver planted as a barrier ended at that point. Another study found a similar result.[8]
Animal feed[edit]
The leaves of vetiver are a useful byproduct to feed cattle, goats, sheep and horses. The nutritional content depends on season, growth stage and soil fertility.[3] Under most climates, nutritional values and yields are best if vetiver is cut every 1–3 months.

Protein [%] | 13.1 | 7.93 | 6.66 |
Fat [%] | 3.05 | 1.30 | 1.40 |
Food and Flavorings[edit]
Vetiver (Khus) is also used as a flavoring agent, usually through khus syrup. Khus syrup is made by adding khus essence to sugar, water and citric acid syrup. Khus Essence is a dark green thick syrup made from the roots of khus grass (vetiver grass). It has a woodsy taste and a scent prominent to khus.
The syrup is used to flavor milkshakes and yogurt drinks like lassi, but can also be used in ice creams, mixed beverages like Shirley Temples and as a dessert topping. Khus syrup does not need to be refrigerated, although khus flavored products may need to be.[9]
Perfumery and aromatherapy[edit]
Vetiver is mainly cultivated for the fragrant essential oil distilled from its roots. In perfumery, the older French spelling, vetyver, is often used. Worldwide production is estimated at about 250 tons per annum.[10] Due to its excellent fixative properties, vetiver is used widely in perfumes. It is contained in 90% of all western perfumes. Vetiver is a more common ingredient in fragrances for men; some notable examples include Dior's Eau Sauvage, Guerlain Vetiver, Zizan by Ormonde Jayne and Vetiver by L'Occitane.
Indonesia, China, Haiti are major producers.[10] Vetiver processing was introduced to Haiti in the 1940s by Frenchman Lucien Ganot.[11] In 1958, Franck Léger established a plant on the grounds of his father Demetrius Léger's alcohol distillery. The plant was taken over in 1984 by Franck's son, Pierre Léger, who expanded the size of the plant to 44 atmospheric stills, each built to handle one metric ton of vetiver roots. Total production increased in ten years from 20 to 60 tonnes annually, making it the largest producer in the world.[12] The plant extracts vetiver oil by steam distillation. Another major operation in the field is the one owned by the Boucard family. Réunion is considered to produce the highest quality vetiver oil called "bourbon vetiver" with the next favorable being Haiti and then Java.[citation needed]
The United States, Europe, India, and Japan are the main consumers.
Essential oil[edit]
Vetiver oil or khus oil is a complex oil, containing over 100 identified components, typically:[citation needed]
Structure of α-vetivone, the main fragrant component of the oil of vetiver
The oil is amber brown and rather thick. Its odor is described as deep, sweet, woody, smoky, earthy, amber, and balsam. The best quality oil is obtained from 18- to 24-month-old roots. The roots are dug up, cleaned, and then dried. Before the distillation, the roots are chopped and soaked in water. The distillation process can take up to 24 hours. After the distillate separates into the essential oil and hydrosol, the oil is skimmed off and allowed to age for a few months to allow some undesirable notes forming during the distillation to dissipate. Like patchouli and sandalwood essential oils, the odor of vetiver develops and improves with aging. The characteristics of the oil can vary significantly depending on where the grass is grown and the climate and soil conditions. The oil distilled in Haiti and Réunion has a more floral quality and is considered of higher quality than the oil from Java, which has a smokier scent. In the north of India, oil is distilled from wild-growing vetiver. This oil is known as khus or khas, and is considered superior[by whom?] to the oil obtained from the cultivated variety. It is rarely found outside of India, as most of it is consumed within the country.[citation needed]
Medicinal use[edit]
Vetiver has been used in traditional medicine in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and West Africa.[13]
Old Tamil literature mentions the use of vetiver for medical purposes.
In-house use[edit]
In the Indian Subcontinent, khus (vetiver roots) is often used to replace the straw or wood shaving pads in evaporative coolers.[4] When cool water runs for months over wood shavings in evaporative cooler padding, they tend to accumulate algae, bacteria and other microorganisms. This causes the cooler to emit a fishy or seaweed smell into the house. Vetiver root padding counteracts this smell. A cheaper alternative is to add vetiver cooler perfume or even pure khus attar to the tank. Another advantage is that they do not catch fire as easily as dry wood shavings.
Mats made by weaving vetiver roots and binding them with ropes or cords are used in India to cool rooms in a house during summer. The mats are typically hung in a doorway and kept moist by spraying with water periodically; they cool the passing air, as well as emitting a refreshing aroma.[citation needed]
In the hot summer months in India, sometimes a muslin sachet of vetiver roots is tossed into the earthen pot that keeps a household's drinking water cool. Like a bouquet garni, the bundle lends distinctive flavor and aroma to the water. Khus-scented syrups are also sold.[citation needed]
Fuel cleaning[edit]
A recent study found the plant is capable of growing in fuel-contaminated soil. In addition, the study discovered the plant is also able to clean the soil, so in the end, it is almost fuel-free.[14]
Other uses[3][edit]
Vetiver grass is used as roof thatch (it lasts longer than other materials), mud brick-making for housing construction (such bricks have lower thermal conductivity), strings and ropes and ornamentals (for the light purple flowers).
Garlands made of vettiver grass is used to adorn The dancing god nataraja in the Hindu temples.
Agricultural aspects[edit]
Environmental requirements[3][edit]
Factor | Requirements |
Soil type | Sandy loam soils are preferred. Clay loam is acceptable, but clay is not. |
Topography | Slightly sloping land avoids waterlogging in case of overwatering. A flat site is acceptable, but watering must be monitored to avoid waterlogging, that will stunt the growth of young plantlets. Mature vetiver, however, thrives under waterlogged conditions. |
Nutrition | It absorbs dissolved nutrients, such as N and P, and is tolerant to sodicity, magnesium, aluminium and manganese. |
pH | Accepts soil pH from 3.3 to 12.5 (in another publication, 4.3–8.0)[4] |
Soil conditions | Tolerant to salinity |
Heavy metals | Absorbs dissolved heavy metals from polluted water, tolerates As, Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb, Hg, Se and Zn |
Light | Shading affects vetiver growth (C4 plant), but partial shading is acceptable. |
Temperature | It is tolerant to temperatures from −15°C to +55°C, depending on growing region. The optimal soil temperature for root growth is 25 °C. Root dormancy occurs under a temperature of 5 °C. Shoot growth is affected earlier; at 13 °C, shoot growth is minimal, but root growth is continued at a rate of 12.6 cm/day. Under frosty conditions, shoots become dormant and purple, or even die, but the underground growing points survive and can regrow quickly if the conditions improve. |
Water | It is tolerant to drought (because of its deep roots), flood, and submergence; annual precipitation of 6.4–41.0 dm is tolerated, but it has to be at least 225 mm.[4] |
Crop management[3][edit]
Vetiver is planted in long, neat rows across the slope for easy mechanical harvesting. The soil should be wet. Trenches are 15–20 cm deep.[15] A modified seedling planter or mechanical transplanter can plant large numbers of vetiver slips in the nursery. Flowering and nonflowering varieties are used for cultivation. Sandy loam nursery beds ensure easy harvest and minimal damage to plant crowns and roots. Open space is recommended, because shading affects vetiver growth.
Overhead irrigation is recommended for the first few months after planting. More mature plants prefer flood irrigation. Weed control may be needed during establishment phase, by using atrazine after planting.[4]
To control termites that attack dead material, hexachlorobenzene, also known as benzene hexachloride-BCH, can be applied to the vetiver hedge. Brown spot seems to have no effect on vetiver growth. Black rust in India is vetiver-specific and does not cross-infect other plants. In China, stemborers (Chilo spp.) have been recognised, but they seem to die once they get into the stems.[3] Further, vetiver is affected by Didymella andropogonis on leaves, Didymosphaeria andropogonis on dead culms, Lulworthia medusa on culms and Ophiosphaerella herpotricha. Only in Malaysia, whiteflies seem to be a problem. Pest management is done not only by using insecticides, but also by appropriate cultural management: hedges are cut to 3 cm above ground at the end of the growing season.[4] In general, vetiver is highly tolerant to herbicides and pesticides.
Note: Hexachlorobenzene is an animal carcinogen and is considered to be a probable human carcinogen. Its use is banned in the USA and in many other countries.
Harvest of mature plants is performed mechanically or manually. A machine uproots the mature stock 20–25 cm below ground. To avoid damaging the plant crown, a single-blade mouldboard plough or a disc plough with special adjustment should be used.

mexican in Mission District
What do you mean by cafeteria style.? You slide your tray past a set of prepared food, preplated, you point or ask and someone ladles it on your plate or you stand in line, order and it is brought to you table?
re: kloeb
Neither one is cafeteria style, both have table service.
You'll need to provide more details, or just visit the places below.
Pancho Villa, La Taqueria, La Corneta, Taqueria Cancun, and many more, are cafeteria style (self-service). All are in the Mission and near a BART station. That's all I can help you.
re: Windy
El Metate was the first one that came to mind for me. I don't think Regalito has been around that long(?)
As Windy says, a fair number of places are more or less self-serve, as in stand in line and order and they call out your number or bring it to the table, but I can't think of any Mexican places in the Mission that are what I would call true 'cafeteria' style.

Geologists are uncovering mounting evidence of asteroids and meteorites that struck the earth during the past. Are these extraterrestrial missiles somehow related to the initiation of the Flood?
Have you ever wondered what triggered the Genesis Flood? Genesis 7:11 tells us that a unique geologic event took place at the same moment as the Flood began: "In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened."
Most creation geologists believe that the opening of "the fountains of the great deep" refers to the breakup of the earth's crust into plates.1 The subsequent rapid, catastrophic movement of these plates would have released huge quantities of hot subterranean waters and molten rock into the ocean. As the hot water gushed through the fractured seafloor, the water flashed into superheated steam and shot high into the atmosphere as supersonic steam jets, carrying sea water that eventually fell as rain.
But what catastrophe might God have used to cause the earth's crust—many miles thick—to crack? Some have suggested a meteorite or asteroid impact of unprecedented size and scope.2 Do we find any evidence? Geologists have discovered some gargantuous remnant craters and piles of debris, leftover from massive impacts that easily fit the bill.
A Smoking Gun in Australia?
One example of an impact powerful enough to trigger the Flood is the 56-milewide (90 km) Acraman impact crater in South Australia. It apparently resulted from a 2.5-mile-wide (4 km) asteroid that slammed into the Outback at almost 16 miles per second (26 km/s) (Figure 1).3 The explosion would have been equivalent to the detonation of 50,000–100,000 hydrogen bombs all at once! The impact blasted some of the pulverised pre-Flood crystalline basement rocks to sites 280 miles (450 km) away, and the debris accumulated in a layer 16 inches (40 cm) thick within some of the earliest Flood deposits.4
An asteroid impact—or several simultaneous impacts—that triggered the Flood may also have been part of an ongoing, solar-system-wide catastrophe that lasted for months or years.5 If so, we would expect to find evidence of many other meteorites that subsequently hit the earth during God's judgment on the planet. Two lines of evidence can be used to support this inference: (1) the rapid rate of past cratering during the Flood, and (2) the fields of meteorites left by this bombardment.
Impact Crater Early in the Flood (Figure 1)
A massive asteroid, perhaps 2.5 miles (4 km) wide, slammed into the earth at the start of the Flood, leaving a 56-mile-wide (90 km) impact crater in South Australia. Did this explosion, which equaled 50,000–100,000 hydrogen bombs, help trigger the Flood?
Continuing Impacts Throughout the Flood
Many meteorite impact craters have now been identified across the earth's surface. These have been imprinted and preserved in layers deposited by the Flood6 and are also visible on today's post-Flood land surface, such as the famous Meteor Crater just east of Flagstaff in northern Arizona.
A History of Craters: Two Interpretations (Figure 2)
Geologists have found over a hundred impact craters on earth. On this table 39 of the 110 impacts were deposited in the uppermost rock layers, and the rest were spread over the many lower layers.
If all these layers were deposited slowly over millions of years, then impacts have been more common in recent times. But if most layers were deposited during the year-long Flood, 71 impacts occurred during only one year. The other 39 were spread over the next 4,500 years.
The impact "ages" of 110 craters (as estimated using the secular dating methods) are tabulated in Figure 2.7 Secular geologists thus believe that large meteorites crashed into the earth at a rate of 1–8 every 30 million years, but that the rate was much higher in recent times. However, those scientists who believe that the bulk of the fossil record was deposited during the Flood reach a very different conclusion. According to the Flood model, the first 71 of these 110 impacts would have occurred during the year of the Flood, and the other 39 were spread out over the 4,500 years since the Flood.
The rate during the Flood was catastrophic—71 in one year versus an average of only one impact every 115 years. Even most of those 39 post-Flood impacts likely occurred in the first few decades after the Flood, as the catastrophic processes that triggered the Flood slowed to today's snail's pace.
Fossil Meteorites in Sweden
Not surprisingly, fossil meteorites have been discovered in various layers of the Flood's geologic record. One of the most meteorite-dense areas in the world known to date is found in Ordovician limestone beds in central and southern Sweden.8 These deposits are among the earliest laid down by the Flood.
Forty fossil meteorites have been identified over the area within the Thorsberg quarry at Kinnekulle, southern Sweden.9 They vary in size from 0.28 x 0.40 inches (7 mm x 10 mm) to almost 6 x 8 inches (15 cm x 20 cm), and were recovered from a quarry area of almost 65,000 square feet (6000 m2). So far, no impact crater has been found associated with these fossil meteorites. Numerous chemical analyses have determined that these are all ordinary chondrite meteorites.10 Roughly 80% of meteorites that have fallen to the earth since the Flood are also chondrite meteorites.
These forty fossil meteorites were recovered from Ordovician marine limestone beds, which are part of the Orthoceratite Limestone that was deposited across at least 100,000 square miles (250,000 km2) of the Baltic-Scandinavian region. The quarried section holding the meteorites is 10.5 feet (3.2 m) thick and has been divided into twelve named beds (Figure 3).
"Meteorite Fall" During the Flood (Figure 3)
At a quarry in Sweden, over forty meteorites have been found in a 10-foot (3 m) section of limestone. The fragments are scattered in twelve thin beds deposited early in the Flood. They share the same metallic qualities, as though they came from one meteor, which exploded when it entered the earth's atmosphere.
According to secular dating methods, these beds are estimated to have accumulated over 1.75 million years at an average rate of only 0.08 inches (2 mm) per 1,000 years. Interestingly, many of these forty fossil meteorites were discovered embedded at the contact surfaces between layers where secular geologists claim that nothing was being deposited for periods ranging from 100 to 1,000 years. Thus, secular geologists suggest that these meteorites fell on at least twelve different occasions.
However, entombed with these fossil meteorites are abundant fossilized straight-shelled nautiloids, many up to about 16 inches (40 cm) long and about 2.5 inches (6 cm) thick. This begs the question—how could these fragile nautiloid shells be buried and preserved with their internal anatomy intact, and exhibit no signs of decay or erosion during such long periods when no sediments were being deposited?
And how could water deposit these limestone beds and their fossil contents so evenly over such a vast area of at least 100,000 square miles (250,000 km2)? Even though the fossilized nautiloid shells show no particular orientation, they had to be buried rapidly to be so well preserved. Such rapid sedimentation over such a wide area requires a catastrophic flooding event.
Furthermore, since all these fossil meteorites are essentially the same, and all likely accumulated during rapid sedimentation and catastrophic flooding, they could easily represent the remains of one meteorite fall. Such a catastrophic meteorite bombardment is consistent with the global judgment during the biblical Flood.
The Flood of Noah's Day
We cannot be certain whether God used an asteroid or swarms of asteroids to begin the Flood event and the resulting breakup of the earth's crust into plates. However, we do find evidence that asteroids were striking the earth at catastrophic rates during the Flood and that these asteroids were spread over the earth's surface. Asteroids surely contributed greatly to the horrific and violent geologic events that took place during God's year of judgment of the earth.
In Genesis 6:7 and 6:13 God declared that He would destroy man, beasts, creeping things, and fowl "with the earth." This global Flood cataclysm would destroy the landscape of the original earth (2 Peter 3:6). The original landmass was broken, flooded, and pulverized. The many impact craters and fossil meteorites are stark, sober reminders that God keeps His Word.
These signs of judgment also remind us that all who trust God for salvation, like Noah, are recipients of His grace and mercy through the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is our Ark of salvation, delivering us from the judgment by fire yet to come (2 Peter 3:7).

- There are three major types of meteorites—iron, stony-iron, and stony. Chondrite meteorites are a kind of stony meteorite. They derive their name from their texture. Dispersed more or less uniformly throughout the rock are spherical, sub-spherical, and sometimes ellipsoidal structures called chondrules, ranging in size from a fraction of an inch in diameter to about half an inch. Chondrites are primarily made of silicate minerals such as olivine and pyroxene, similar to what is found in earth's volcanic rocks, along with sulfide and metallic minerals. O. R.

Storck Aernario Road Bike Frame $4,599.00
Best of all worlds.
Storck designed the Aernario Road Bike Frame with one principle in mind -- balance. Basically, Markus Storck strove to seamlessly mate the aerodynamic frame design of its Aero time trial bikes with the rigidity, handling, and comfort of its Fascenario 0.7. We would say that he succeeded.
If you're familiar with 'aero-frames,' you probably don't own one, because you either loathe the aesthetic or find that watts that you save in drag reduction are tacked back on by poor power transfer and handling. To alleviate this problematic syndrome, Storck created what it calls 'sectional aerodynamic shaping.' However, it helps to think of this as an aerodynamic profile on the horizontal plane. By this, we mean that the Aernario's teardrop profile (NACA if you're savvy) takes shape horizontally rather than vertically. So, when viewing the frame from the side, it looks like a traditional road frame. However, if you were to take a cross-section, its aero-shape would become strikingly evident. In addition to the tube profile, Storck also improved aerodynamics and comfort by cleverly hiding the seatpost bolt under the top tube. By doing this, the tube shape is further streamlined, while shortening the seatpost increases comfort. Accordingly, the Aernario sees nothing but gains on all fronts.
As for the carbon fiber, itself, the Aernario was constructed from Storck's own CFR/UD carbon fiber, with the UD designating 'uni-directional.' Why uni-directional? Well, compared to a woven carbon fabric, uni-directional carbon is oriented as it sounds, with one direction, or on one axis. And while this makes the production process incredibly more complicated in regards to load path and force direction determination, the payout is worth it to Storck. You see, compared to woven layups, uni-directional fibers tend to better stiffen frames, while also improving the characteristic of vibration dampening. And incredibly, this is achieved at a much lower overall weight. However, Storck was far from finished in any of these regards.
Let's approach the Storck layup process in a short series of steps. First off, Storck begins the design with 3D CAD imaging. This digital process provides Storck with the precise data and dimensions necessary for the development of the mold. From there, the CFR/UD fibers are soaked in resin and hand-placed into the computer-generated mold. Once placed in the mold, the fibers are heated and pressed into place with an air channeling tool. Afterwards, the fibers are smoothed over by hand, ensuring an unprecedented level of preciseness and detail to the layup.
It's worth noting that the Aernario is, in fact, molded in a monocoque. This means that the Aernario is comprised of specific modulus carbon fibers throughout the frame, or in other words, it features a one-piece molded construction. This eliminates excess weight by requiring less carbon and resin application at the tube junctures of the frame. As a result, at around 890 grams, is actually lighter than the Fenomalist, and is fast approaching the halo weight category of the BH Ultralight and Ridley Helium SL.
Moving into frame specifics, you'll find a massive, oversized PressFit BB86 bottom bracket juncture that efficiently transfers power to the rear triangle. And not surprisingly, we see the reoccurring theme at work again of increased weight reduction coming as a result of increased power transfer. At the seatstays, Storck gracefully originates them from a box-section above the brake caliper. And again, this results in increased comfort via vertical compliance, however, it also directly equates to a higher level of lateral rigidity. Additionally, you'll find that the Aernario is one of the most painstakingly rider-tuned frames on the market. This is due in part to Storck's proportional tubing concept, where every frame size uses adapted dimensions, wall thickness, tube diameter, and tapering to ensure the exactly intended ride quality regardless of size. Rounding out the construction is electronic-drivetrain-specific internal cable routing.
For the fork, Storck incorporated its latest iteration of the trend-setting and award winning Stiletto, the Stiletto 340. The first version of the Stiletto was introduced in 1999, and was widely hailed as the lightest fork on the planet. And while the Stiletto Light only tipped the scales at 280 grams, the 340 gram Stiletto found here is still lighter than most of the featherweight, aftermarket forks. The 340 features a tapered design that's been mated to a carbon reinforced heat tube and a 1-1/8 - 1-1/4 inch integrated headset.
Altogether, these technologies, paired with an unrelenting dedication to hand-built perfection, create a frame that's balanced, lightweight, compliant, and most importantly, fast.
The Storck Aernario Road Bike Frame is available in the color White/black and in six odd sizes from 47 to 63cm. Please note that this frame uses a PressFit BB86 bottom bracket and a replaceable CNC-machined aluminum derailleur hanger. Additionally, despite being electronic-driven, the frame routing is also compatible with mechanical shift systems.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I was looking for a road bike that was both aerodynamic, stiff, and responsive. Usually to get all the above means you have to sacrifice comfort. Not the case with the aernario! The first time I took my new bike for a ride, I immediately noticed how responsive it was when climbing. It felt like someone gave me a push of momentum from behind and I loved the feel of the stiffness that the bottom bracket offered. Not only does this bike make climbing fun, but descending is even more enjoyable. I feel solid on fast descents and love how the bike handles on turns. When descending on my previous road bike, I could feel when speeds approached 45+ mph. On the Storck, I run out of gears before I look down at my speed because of its solid feel and aero handling. I love how the Aernario handles and makes me feel more confident on the bike.....not to mention FAST! Well worth the investment.

Dallas Cowboys Player's Drunken Driving Rebuked By NFL Vets
Weekend tragedy results in arrest and manslaughter of team linebacker
On Saturday, tragedy struck the NFL again. Dallas Cowboys nose guard Josh Brent and his teammate Jerry Brown were involved in a car accident that killed Brown, resulting in Brent's arrest and intoxication manslaughter chargers. Veteran players were speaking out about bad behavior in the NFL. "This NFL brotherhood, people are not only going to hold us accountable, we are going to be the ones more in the spotlight," said San Diego Charges's Takeo Spikes. "We've all done it (drive intoxicated). But it's to a point now where maybe you were ignorant and didn't know any better or felt you were invincible. We've had enough of death to show us this is what you do not do. It's bigger than you. Somebody else is always affected.'' Brown and Brent, former college football teammates, were speeding when Brent's car hit a curb and flipped on early Saturday morning, police said. Brent released a statement through his agent last Saturday: "I am devastated and filled with grief," the statement said. "Filled with grief for the loss of my close friend and teammate, Jerry Brown. I am also grief-stricken for his family, friends and all who were blessed enough to have known him. I will live with this horrific and tragic loss every day for the rest of my life. My prayers are with his family, our teammates and his friends at this time." Brent has since been released from jail. (USA Today)

Midwest Bankers Survey Suggests Economic Growth
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A survey of rural bankers in 10 Midwest and Plains states suggests slow economic growth is ahead.
A report released Thursday on the Rural Mainstreet Index says the overall index rose to 58.2 in February, compared with 55.6 in January. Creighton University economist Ernie Goss oversees the report, and he says it is the index's fifth increase in the past six months. He says he expects economic growth for the region "will continue on a slow but positive pace." The index ranges from 0 to 100, with 50 representing growth neutral. Any score below 50 on the index suggests contraction in the months ahead. The index is based on a survey of rural bankers in Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming.

Ship Anchorage Site to Inspect and Decontaminate Gulf Ships
Friday - 7/9/2010, 11:55am EDT
Shipping vessels are currently facing increasing time delays and other challenges as they try to avoid the oil slicks caused by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
A magnetometer survey of a proposed alternate anchorage site would ensure the safety of ships, their crews, and the marine environment by making sure that there are no buried pipelines in the proposed area that would be ruptured by ships lowering their anchors.
Maritime commerce is important farmers especially, who need to export their crops through Gulf ports, as do the millions of retail outlets nationwide that rely on a constant flow of imports.

Triple Crown for Welsh Universities
27 March 2012
Welsh Higher Education Institutions beat off competition from across the UK to win three out of four awards given by the Universities Association for Lifelong Learning (UALL) - the national body which represents part-time education in universities.
Cardiff University was one of the institutions that celebrated their success at the UALL award evening on 19th March.
It was the new Exploring the Past programme, a joint project of the Centre for Lifelong Learning and the School of History, Archaeology and Religion that brings learners of all ages into History degrees via Lifelong Learning courses that scooped a prize.
Dr Richard Evans, Dean of Lifelong Learning who accepted the prize for Cardiff University, said: "Wales is outperforming the other UK nations in these Awards but why not when we we've just won the Grand Slam! The important thing is that the people of Wales benefit from the work their universities do".
Dr David Wyatt, Founder of the Exploring the Past Pathway, said: "This is an amazing achievement for all those involved with the Pathway. Exploring the Past provides life changing opportunities for adult learners to undertake degrees in history, archaeology and religion at Cardiff. Many of our students begin with little previous academic experience and face significant barriers to education. Exploring the Past provides an opportunity for them to study and progress in a nurturing and supportive environment designed for mature students. Indeed, the imperative to create a positive impact on our students' lives is one of the driving motivations of the Pathway - I'd like to thank UALL for recognising this through bestowing this prestigious award."
Dr S Oosthuizen, Vice-Chair of UALL, said: "The range of and quality of these projects shows how vibrant lifelong learning is in Welsh universities. They are a tribute to the innovation and dedication of the staff who work with students from all walks of life, but especially from non-traditional groups."
The overall winner was the Open University in Wales for their work to help those with care responsibilities at home study toward a degree.
The University of Wales Trinity St David's Foundation Degree for oil-refinery workers which puts work-based learning at the centre of their study was also successful.
This year's success comes on top of Swansea University's award in 2011.

And as for finding a single woman for you and your significant other, don't be surprised if it takes you a long time to do that. You have taken the proper step in posting pictures of both of you but you do have a long way to go and apparently very little patience to get there. Zo.

I'm looking for any photos or videos of this happening. If anyone has any of these or knows how I can get copies please feel free to send me an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. His grandparents really would like to see anything I can get my hands on.
Thank you for any help you can give us, cause I'm one proud Army Aunt!!!! |

in philosophy, a view that asserts that entities of a given kind are collections or combinations of entities of a simpler or more basic kind or that expressions denoting such entities are definable in terms of expressions denoting the more basic entities. Thus, the ideas that physical bodies are collections of atoms or that thoughts are combinations of sense impressions are forms of reductionism.
