Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Van Eeden, Carl-Johann email@example.com URN etd-10252007-091856 Document Title The steering relationship between the first and second axles of a 6x6 off-road military vehicle Degree MEng (Mechanical Engineering) Department Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Dr P S Els Committee Chair Keywords
- transient handling
- multi axle vehicle
- steady state handling
- off-road
- variable steering ratio
Date 2007-04-20 Availability unrestricted Abstract
The steering arrangement of a 6x6 off-road military vehicle was investigated, with the aim to determine if a variable steering ratio between the first and second steering axle of the vehicle will make an improvement in the steady and transient state handling of the vehicle.
Low speed manoeuvring was evaluated, comparing the vehicle steering geometry with Ackerman geometry. For steady state handling, a bicycle model was developed, and constant radius simulations at various track radii, vehicle speeds and steering ratios (ratio between the first and second steering axle) was performed. For transient dynamic simulations, a mathematical model was developed that included a simple driver model to steer the vehicle through a single lane change, again at various speeds and steering ratios.
The vehicle was instrumented, and actual constant radii tests, as well as single lane change tests were performed. The measurements enabled the comparison of simulated and measured results. Although basic mathematical models were used, acceptable correlation was obtained for both steady state and transient dynamic behaviour.
The results indicated that for this specific vehicle geometry, where the centre of mass is above the second axle, no marked improvement would be obtained by implementing a variable ratio steering system.
The mathematical model was changed to simulate a vehicle with longer wheelbase and different centre of mass. With the new geometry, theoretical slip angles (and therefore tire wear) reductions were more noticeable
It was concluded that a variable ratio system between the front and second axle would not be an economically viable improvement for this vehicle, since the improvement achieved will not warrant the additional cost and complexity added to the vehicle.© University of Pretoria

Is there an over-the-counter medicine that lowers cholesterol?
- Q: Is there an over-the-counter medicine that lowers cholesterol?
- A: The over-the-counter supplements we recommend for high cholesterol include Omega 3 supplements, found in fish oil pills or eating nuts or flaxseed. Taking niacin, which is a B vitamin, is also recommended; however, it can cause flushing, and in sustained released form can cause problems with the liver. Please consult your physician to make sure that you do indeed have high cholesterol before you attempt to treat it with supplements.

2015 Budget (5) -The Debt Bombshell: New Revelations
Posted by Kit in Budget Debate, Najib Razak on Sunday, 19 October 2014
2015 Budget (5) – A Critique
by Economic Observer
19th October 2014
In his speech, the Prime Minister studiously avoided any reference to the size of the public debt which now requires an allocation of RM 23.2 billion or almost 11 percent of the Budget to service the accumulated debt of the Federal Government now estimated to amount to RM 568.9 billion accounting for 52.8 percent of GDP, a level marginally below the established ceiling.
These numbers exclude the contingent liabilities of the Federal Government and other off budget borrowings.
Nor did the Prime Minister mention the level of debt carried by households, now in excess of 85 percent of GDP.
What is wholly inexcusable is the failure on his part to refer to the bombshell dropped in the Treasury's Economic Report concerning the size of the nation's external debt.
The Economic Report discloses that Malaysia's external debt totals RM 729 billion, equivalent to 67.6 percent of GDP. This compares with a debt level of RM 335.6 billion or 31.1 percent of GDP before the revision.
This more than doubling of the external debt cannot be swept under the carpet. It is shameless in the manner in which the Prime Minister dealt with the issue. Read the rest of this entry »
2015 Budget (4) – The National Agenda: Increasing equity ownership of Bumiputeras
2015 Budget (4) – A Critique
by Economic Adviser
18th October 2014
In indicating a further RM 600 million to EKUINAS to enable it to increase Bumiputera corporate equity the Prime Minister observed that the Bumiputera have yet to achieve the 30% target.
He further noted their effective control over corporations is currently only around 10%.
The Prime Minister appears to be playing to the right-wing gallery in his party by making these assertions which are unsubstantiated.
No details have been provided or reference made to any rigorous study.
Even a cursory review shows that GLCs are almost entirely Bumiputera controlled. The GLCs listed on the stock exchange account for almost 30 percent of paid up capital. Read the rest of this entry »
2015 Budget (3) – Implementing GST
2015 Budget (3) – A Critique
by Economic Observer
18th October 2014
The Prime Minister has attempted to offer soothing statements concerning the scope and coverage of the GST.
He has listed a whole list of items that will be exempted. While the list may be impressive, the value of the items that will be exempted remains shrouded.
Such claims as " Of the 944 goods and services in the basket of goods of the CPI, the prices of 532 items or 56% are expected to reduce up to 4.1%." or "Meanwhile, about 354 goods and services may experience some price increase but less than 5.8%" offer little clarity. No indication is given about the burden to be borne by an average household or the percentage by which the CPI will rise.
The Prime Minister indicated that the GST will yield RM 23.2 billion in gross revenue. However, with the implementation of GST, the Sales and Services Tax (SST), will be abolished resulting in revenue foregone of RM13.8 billion.
He went on to state: "This means that after deducting RM13.8 billion and RM3.8 billion from a revenue of RM23.2 billion, the Government will have a balance of RM5.6 billion."
He went on to claim that of the total, RM4.9 billion was being channeled back to the rakyat through assistance programs such as the increase in BR1M.
"Finally, net revenue collection from GST will only amount to RM690 million." This latter statement is remarkable indeed and is designed to minimize the collection from this new tax.
The Minister has side-stepped pertinent questions concerning the impact of the GST on middle and low income households by referring to the tax reductions. Read the rest of this entry »
2015 Budget (2) – Economic Performance & Prospects
Posted by Kit in Budget Debate on Friday, 17 October 2014
2015 Budget – A Critique (2)
by Economic Observer
17th October 2014
There exists a long held convention for the Annual Budget Speech to serve as a vehicle for reporting to the nation recent economic performance along with a candid account presenting near term prospects.
Sadly the Minister has chosen to ignore tradition.
In a speech of almost 30 pages, hardly a page and a half are devoted to a discussion of recent developments or the prospects for the year ahead. What little is said about recent performance consists of broad generalizations.
Growth merits a few lines; little is said about price developments, private consumption which is a measure of the people's wellbeing.
Cynically much is made of the performance of the stock market but not a word is said about the growth in private debt or about the leakages that the economy has suffered through massive capital flight.
The reference to investment trends is based on data relating to approvals rather than actual investments. Read the rest of this entry »
2015 Budget – Policy Challenges and Rhetoric
Posted by Kit in Budget Debate, Education, Najib Razak on Friday, 17 October 2014
2015 Budget – A Critique (1)
by Economic Observer
17th Oct 2014
The Prime Minister-cum-Finance Minister in his opening remarks observed that economic planning and policies of a country need to be adjusted according to developments and challenges in the domestic and external environment.
He went on to add that Malaysia is in need of a move to be an economy based on knowledge, high skills, expertise, creativity and innovation.
A laudable statement indeed which will not be disputed or attract criticism. However, this statement is nothing more than a platitude and rhetorical in scope. It is patently clear what the challenges are.
The nation is grappling with the dangers associated with the continued brain drain, and the continued neglect of the education system. Read the rest of this entry »
A critique of the 2014 Budget Speech
Posted by Kit in Budget Debate, Economics, Finance on Tuesday, 5 November 2013
by Budget analyst
A careful analysis of the 2014 Budget Speech by the Prime Minister-cum-Finance Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak is most revealing and disappointing as there is little by way of an exposition of the challenges the economy faces.
The customary presentation of data on the performance, in the current year and prospects in the year ahead, are matters that are dismissed in a few perfunctory sentences.
The speech gives little information on basic macro-economic assumptions used in basing the revenue and expenditure forecasts that make up the Budget.
The speech gives no hint of how the Government proposes to deal with the less than robust external environment in which the key Malaysian export markets – China, US, the EURO zone – will continue to record sluggish demand.
The price for Malaysian oil and gas are likely to be weaker because of increasing supply from US shale oil and the re-entry of Iranian oil into global markets. With greater supply and lower demand, prices are likely to be lower. Malaysian oil and gas exports will undoubtedly feel the impact. Read the rest of this entry »
Dua mesej Belanjawan 2014 – Malaysia terus menjadi negara yang "mempunyai jenayah besar, tetapi tiada penjenayah" dan para menteri pula kebal daripada tindakan undang-undang walaupun cuai dalam tugas
Posted by Kit in Budget Debate, Corruption on Monday, 28 October 2013
Beberapa jam sebelum Perdana Menteri merangkap Menteri Kewangan Datuk Seri Najib Razak membentangkan Belanjawan 2014 di Parlimen dan mengumumkan pelaksanaan Cukai Barangan dan Perkhidmatan sebanyak 6% bermula April 2015, Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Lumpur membebaskan bekas Presiden MCA dan Menteri Pengangkutan Tun Dr. Ling Liong Sik daripada tuduhan menipu kerajaan dalam skandal Zon Bebas Pelabuhan Klang (PKFZ) yang melibatkan berbilion-bilion ringgit.
Keputusan Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Lumpur itu membawa dua mesej yang memberi kesan langsung terhadap Belanjawan 2014, Rancangan Transformasi Nasional Najib dan arah tuju negara dan ekonomi Malaysia di masa depan, iaitu:
Malaysia terus menjadi negara yang "mempunyai jenayah besar, tetapi tiada penjenayah", di mana rakyat Malaysia menjadi mangsa korupsi dan skandal raksasa dalam keadaan kerajaan dan agensi pencegahan rasuah, iaitu Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia, tidak mampu berbuat apa-apa untuk memerangi korupsi yang melibatkan "jerung" dan bukan hanya "ikan bilis"; dan
Menteri kabinet kini kebal daripada hukuman jika mereka cuai dalam menjalankan tugas rasmi, termasuk tugasan di peringkat kabinet.
Improving budget management: Our obssession with the 55% debt ceiling
Posted by Kit in Budget Debate, Najib Razak, Parliament on Monday, 28 October 2013
– Sakmongkol AK47
The Malaysian Insider
October 27, 2013
MPs were supplied with voluminous documents relating to the state of the economy. We were ploughing through the documents to analyse the management of the economy while Najib drone on waxing lyrical, poetic and at times, waxing sarcastic over his thematic budget. 2014 has another theme. The theme of the 2014 budget is 'Strengthening economic resilience, accelerating transformation and fulfilling promises'. If that makes him happy, so be it. Giving an artful theme to the budget does not make it a better budget. The devil is in the details.
But where is the promise of giving RM1200 BR1M which he sold the voting public in last May's elections? Where is the promise to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor?
Najib has reneged on this promise and stated poker-faced about paying out reduced BR1Ms. The scaled down BR1M hand-outs are downsized by the financial capacity of the government. Finally the chickens come home to roost. He has to face reality something the opposition MPs have warned continuously- that out of control spending is bad for the economy.
Public debt is now more than the 55% legislated debt ceiling simply because this government hides the real debt by various tricks. Eventually the weight of public debt will come down crushing. In 2013 alone, the deficit incurred by some GLCs amounted to RM93billion. When opposition MPs say this budget is for the rich, it wasn't said out of spite. In 2013, the BR1M given to poor people amounted to RM7 billion.
Compare this to the freedom given to some GLCs to overspend by RM93 billion. The people who should be grateful are not the ordinary rakyat but the BN politicians and their corporate conspirators for being able to hide from the rakyat the magnitude of their extravagance. They should be grateful the public hasn't turned on them yet. Maybe we should do a Louis and Marie Antoinette on them and that is not even Islamic law.
In the coming days, we will dissect his budget. Apart from minor jeering, we did not steal the Finance Minister's thunder. We jeered only when he made political capital of certain portions of his presentation. Read the rest of this entry »
Duo message of 2014 Budget – Malaysia continues to be land of "heinous crime without criminals" and Ministers enjoy immunity and impunity for Ministerial dereliction of duties
Posted by Kit in Budget Debate, Corruption, Najib Razak, PKFZ on Saturday, 26 October 2013
A few hours before the Prime Minister cum Finance Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak presented his 2014 Budget in Parliament announcing the regressive and controversial 6% Goods and Services Tax (GST) from April 2015, the Kuala Lumpur High Court acquitted and discharged former MCA President and Transport Minister Tun Dr. Ling Liong Sik for cheating the government over the multi-billion ringgit Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) project scandal.
Without going into the details of the case against Liong Sik, the Kuala Lumpur High Court decision carries two messages which have a direct bearing on the 2014 Budget, Najib's National Transformation Plan and the future direction of the Malaysian nation and economy, viz:
• Malaysia continues to be a land of "heinous crimes without criminals", with Malaysians victimized by mega corruption and scandals which neither the government nor the anti-corruption agency, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), could do anything to combat when confronted with "grand corruption" involving "big sharks" instead of "ikan bilis" in the Malaysian corruption waters; and
• Cabinet Ministers are now given a blank cheque to enjoy immunity and impunity for whatever dereliction of duties in the course of official duties, including up to Cabinet level.
Najib's Budget 2014 acid test

Bridget Welsh
Oct 25, 2013
COMMENT Malaysia's Budget 2014 represents the most important economic policy initiative of Najib Razak's premiership. After scraping through GE13 and deal-making his way to an unchallenged presidency of Umno, there are no immediate political obstacles undermining his ability to implement the economic reforms he has repeatedly promised investors and international financial institutions such as the International Monetary Fund.
Najib has gone on record to claim that he will reduce government debt, tighten spending and make the Malaysian economy more competitive. International watchers were initially bought over by all the different acronyms coined by the government, such as the ETP (Economic Transformation Programme).
However, they have become increasingly negative with regard to Najib's financial management which continued to involve massive overspending and this led to a negative rating by Fitch in July this year. With debt reaching 54 percent of gross domestic product, near the 55 percent government self-imposed limit, Malaysia stands on the precipice of future downgrades.
As the Budget debate begins, it is important to highlight some of the key issues and patterns that have characterised Najib's tenure as prime minister. Read the rest of this entry »
GST: killing the golden goose
Posted by Kit in Budget Debate, Economics, Finance on Saturday, 26 October 2013
– Liew Chin Tong
MP for Kluang
The Malaysian Insider
October 25, 2013
The proposed goods and services tax (GST) will tax those who can't afford to be taxed, i.e. 60% of Malaysians who are eligible for BR1M. These are the people who will soon be taxed by the regressive tax, together with the rest of us who live and stay in this country.
I would like to drop the Orwellian double speak so prevalently employed by many GST apologists who are trying to mask the real issue. I will share my views plainly here.
Flawed arguments
Some argue that the government has to be cruel to be kind. Hence, BN would have us believe that the fuel hike subsidy rationalisation is needed to balance the government's expenditure and ensure its good financial standing.
In theory, this sounds legit. However, look closer and you will find many flaws in the argument. For one, this argument does not take into account the adverse effects on the man on the street. It also demonstrates an incomplete understanding of how the economy grows or declines.
What is the real reason for the Barisan Nasional government to implement the GST? This tax has hung like a sword of Damocles over our heads since Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's era in 2005. Read the rest of this entry »
No goodies, but gov't splurges will continue
Posted by Kit in Budget Debate, Najib Razak on Friday, 25 October 2013
by Tony Pua
MP for PJ Utara
Oct 25, 2013
MP SPEAKS Stripping the 2014 Budget of its cosmetic makeup, taking away the glossy distractions and analysing the bare bones will provide an extremely clear indication that nothing much will change in Najib Abdul Razak's second term as prime minister and finance minister .
The Economic Report 2013/14 gave the good news that the expected revenue collection for the current year 2013 is RM224.1 billion, or RM14.4 billion higher than the original budget projection of RM208.7 billion.
By right, the RM14.4 billion increase in revenue should have resulted in a lowered projected budget deficit of four percent to a market-euphoric 2.6 percent. The budget deficit for 2013 should have shrunk from RM39.9 billion to only RM25.6 billion.
However, it didn't. Despite collecting the significantly higher-than-expected revenue, the deficit for 2013 remained at RM39.3 billion. It means that almost every single sen of extra revenue collected by the government is immediately expended, instead of contributing towards reducing our debt.
What is interesting when you comb through the expenditure figures is that despite the increase in revenue, the actual development expenditure of the government was RM2.7 billion lower than the budgeted RM47.8 billion.
The development expenditure has the larger economic multiplier effect because it represents investments by the government for future higher returns. Development expenditure includes building schools, hospitals and other public infrastructures.
The lower-than-budgeted development expenditure, the higher than expected government revenue means that the government's operating expenditure exceeded the budget massively. The government overspent in operating expenditure by RM14.3 billion more the original budget of RM201.9 billion. Read the rest of this entry »

Pakatan Rakyat will only reveal details of its alternative budget later on fear that their ideas will be copied by Barisan Nasional
KUALA LUMPUR: A parliamentary select committee will scrutinise the Defence Ministry procurement to curb graft, said Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim in announcing the Pakatan Rakyat alternative budget 2014 today.
"We will also look into postponing the National Service programme for next year until a review is done by a select committee.
"The programme costs us RM800 million annually. On top of that, 22 trainees have died undergoing the programme and we have cases of female trainees giving birth during their three-month stint," Anwar said at a press conference at the Parliament lobby.

Why this year's budget would be less interesting
Posted by Kit in Budget Debate, Corruption, Finance on Monday, 21 October 2013
- Muhammad Nazreen
The Malaysian Insider
October 20, 2013
In the next few weeks, everybody is anticipating the key issues that may be highlighted in the 2014 budget. Malaysia's mounting public debt is at an alarming rate. Recurring deficits over years due to government's overspending would be a primary reason why is this year's budget would be less populist. The BN government managed to secure its win during the 13th general election. So, we could expect less windfall subsidies and pay-offs to be distributed. However, the deteriorating condition of Malaysia's economy might prompt the fact that it is timely for the government to introduce stern fiscal consolidation. Austerity measures are likely the main ingredients of the upcoming budget.
Here are some of the concerns. Read the rest of this entry »
Budget 2013: Federal government subsidies go up in flames while poor Malaysians watch

REFSA (Research for Social Advancement)

We write to rebut Dr Lim Teck Ghee's assertion that "There is little empirical research to back up what has become an increasingly popular line of argument" that blanket subsidies such as for cheap petrol and sugar "benefit upper-class Malaysians who consume much more than their poorer cousins[1]".
These are the basic facts:
The federal government subsidy bill is expected to exceed RM42 billion this year.
If we can agree that subsidies should go only to the poor, and we define the poor as the bottom 1/3rd of households, there will be 2.3 million households or nearly 10 million Malaysians[2] who will get subsidies.
RM42 billion is enough to give these bottom 1/3rd of households RM1,650 per month – which will more than double their current incomes of RM1,500 per month!

The Malaysian Insider
Oct 07, 2012
Oct 7 — Tired of politicians' mudslinging and dirty tricks? We are, too. Thankfully, the panelists at REFSA's recent forum showed that our country still has political leaders who rise above the muck to focus on working for the best interest of Malaysia.
Her crisp and confident voice swept through the packed hall with grace and conviction. It was nothing like the ferocity fired from the top of the lungs that one has come to expect whenever a political figure is handed a microphone.
She emphasised that politicians should not be given full control of the country's finances. She spoke of the need for an independent authority to release a pre-Budget report that serves as a reference point for the actual Budget, much like the Office of Budget Responsibility (OBR) in the UK.
She urged Malaysians to remain vigilant over government spending, and insist on having a say in how tax monies are spent. Read the rest of this entry »
The 2013 Budget: Najib's Last Hurrah? (2)
Posted by Kit in Budget Debate on Saturday, 6 October 2012
[contd from The 2013 Budget: Najib's Last Hurrah? (1)]
Taken as a whole, Malaysia appears to have accumulated debt rapidly even as it loses competitiveness and is thus precariously placed. The Budget Speech made no reference to these issues despite the urgency and importance of these facts to the economic health of the country.
A full and transparent accounting is imperative to permit the development of strategies to avoid a debt crisis of the type affecting many of the countries, large and small, in the EUROZONE.
Current Economic Developments and Prospects
The preliminary estimates of growth cited in the Prime Minister's Budget Speech for the first half of 2012 are somewhat exaggerated and contradicted by recent economic indicators. Inflation has been under estimated and thus there is an illusion of a high rate of GDP growth in the first half of the year. What growth occurred can be largely attributed to expanded exports of oil and gas and an expansionary fiscal policy adopted in the Budget for 2012.
There are recent indications of a slowdown in exports resulting partly from weaknesses in global commodity markets; industrial output has also shown weaknesses. Growth in the second half of the year is likely to fall short of growth in the first half. Thus, the projected rate of growth of between 4.5 and 5.0 percent for the current year as a whole is unlikely to be achieved. A lower growth rate has implications for revenues; lower tax receipts will mean a higher deficit further compounded by rising public expenditures. Thus, the overall deficit for 2012 is almost certainly going to exceed the projected figure of 4.5 percent cited by the Prime Minister.
The claim that there was "robust private sector investment" is not supported. If anything, private sector players e.g. IPPs such as YTL, Genting Power etc., have divested. Read the rest of this entry »
Najib as "Father of Transformation'?
Posted by Kit in Budget Debate, Najib Razak on Thursday, 4 October 2012
PM Najib prides himself as the 'Father of Transformation' or 'Bapa Transformasi' because of the spate of transformation initiatives which he has launched since taking over as Prime Minister in 2009.
He has certainly transformed the Malaysian lexicon by introducing an alphabet soup of acronyms such as the ETP, GTP, NKRA, NKEA, SRI, NEM, BR1M and KR1M, just to name a few.
The expensive consultants who conceived of these terms have certainly benefitted from these transformation initiatives. But the positive impact on the man on the street is far less apparent.
While the Prime Minister still sounds positive about his transformation initiatives, his budget tells us a different story. Read the rest of this entry »
Is the 2013 Budget Najib's "silver bullet" to win the 13th GE?
Posted by Kit in Budget Debate, Elections, Najib Razak on Thursday, 4 October 2012
After the presentation of the 2013 Budget by the Prime Minister cum Finance Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak in Parliament last Friday, the Deputy Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin praised the 2013 budget as "the best to date", and such superlative praises have been taken up by the other Barisan Nasional leaders.
Muhyiddin also denied that the 2013 Budget is an "election budget". No MP whether from Barisan Nasional or Pakatan Rakyat would agree with him. In fact, I don't think Muhyiddin himself believes his own denial.
But whether the 2013 Budget will be remembered by Umno/BN leaders as "the best budget" in the past 55 years will depend on whether it is the "silver bullet" for Najib to win the 13th General Election with a two-thirds parliamentary majority or whether it would result in his becoming the last UMNO Prime Minister or a prelude for him to be toppled as UMNO President and Prime Minister in a repeat scenario like what happened to Tun Abdullah in 2009 – becoming the latest "trophy" of Tun Mahathir who would have the scalps of three DPMs and two PMs in the bag!
It is precisely because Najib has no confidence that the 2012 Budget, despite giving goodies for almost every sector of the electorate, would be the "silver bullet" that he has kept postponing the dissolution of Parliament and acquired the dubious record of being the Prime Minister without an elected mandate of his own for the longest period when compared to all the previous four Prime Ministers after Tunku Abdul Rahman, including his father Tun Razak, Tun Hussein Onn, Tun Mahathir and Tun Abdullah.

Call on all MPs, BN or PR, in Sabah, Sarawak or Peninsular Malaysia to support a RCI to assess whether dreams and aspirations of Sabahans and Sarawakians in forming Malaysia had been fulfilled or betrayed in past five decades
Posted by Kit in Budget Debate, Corruption, Najib Razak, Sabah, Sarawak on Thursday, 4 October 2012
On the occasion of the 49th Malaysia Day, Catholic Bishop Datuk Cornelius Piong in his message questioned if a 49-year-old agreement symbolised by the Keningau Batu Sumpah to uphold religious freedom and other native rights and customs had been kept.
Piong said that 49 years ago leaders from the federation of Malaya promised the people of Sabah they would progress together and have their basic human rights protected, as part of a campaign to convince them to join forces and form Malaysia, with partner states Sarawak and Singapore.
The three key pledges Piong highlighted were guarantees that Sabahans would have freedom of religion, their native land would be safeguarded by the state government and the federal government would respect and protect Sabah local customs.
"Are these promises still being respected and honoured?" Piong asked in his Malaysia Day message.
He said: "The agreement was carved on an oath stone (Batu Sumpah Peringatan) which is still visible read and remembered." Read the rest of this entry »

I also hate high school sports. I know this is heresy and there are those on other boards who would jump down my throat for saying that. DD has started a sport this year and is enjoying it--that's great. BUT really, is there any reason that this $@#%$^ sport has to practice 3 hours/day 6 days/week? I honestly don't think that much practice time is necessary for anyone every day and I think it's just a macho thing. It makes it flat out impossible for dd to continue with other activities that she's really enjoyed, some of which she's excelled at, and it intereferes with religious practice on weekends for EVERYONE. I have to bite my tongue because she's enjoying this but I am not. I have no idea how she will manage this in conjunction with academic demands and other commitments. It just seems really unreasonable and the time commitment excessive for a jv beginning team.

My DD tends to do better in school when she is busy. With too much time on her hands she gets lazy and things don't get done and her grades slip.
My DD plays club soccer as well as soccer in HS...she is also student council and Honor Society with a 4.1 GPA. She plays soccer year round and has either school or club practice everyday and sometimes both. We drive over an hour away for games at least twice a week. We have camps at different Universities in the summer and will be going to Tulsa over Thanksgiving and Florida after Christmas. It is her passion and as long as her grades don't suffer we are willing to let her pursue her dream of playing in college. We realize that an athletic scholarship won't get her far at the Universities that she wants to attend so she must maintain her grades.
As part of our college plan I got a job at TCU several years ago...my kids get free full tuition here and at over 100 other exchange schools. My DD is hoping that college coaches will look more closely at her knowing that she doesn't need a full ride to attend their school.

Weedos -
Thanks for posting this thread, it made it to the front page of iVillage, and as a member I just wanted to respond from a POST high school POV. Tracey (aarl) knows me on another couple forums and has asked me about college admissions for her oldest. This topic has touched a nerve with me for at least 6 years. I have one daughter now a Junior in college, as well as a son who is a sophomore in college - both different, both were well rounded and involved in sports in high school.
Here is my POV from beyond the high school grind with two kids now in college AND serving as an adjunct professor at local community colleges and a local university:
1. IMHO sports are overrated in high school My Dd was a varsity volleyball and softball player. She did some regional travel teams as well. She was also a Girl Scout, on Honor society, and student council, (danced, gymnastics and played piano earlier years as well.) Volleyball was an especially long season with tournaments on weekends, practice every day of the week, and on game days they had to watch the higher Varsity or lower level JV home teams and serve as lineman or scorekeepers for the other games. She never got home from school until after 9PM. And there were many a night she was in tears at 1 AM trying to get all her homework done. My son, well he just would say the dog ate the paper and go to bed, and yes, his grades suffered. Personally, I think that the number of hours allowed to be devoted to a sport should be limited further, 15 hours a week, seems like a resonable amount to me!
2. There are FAR LESS scholarships for sports than there are for academics - PERIOD. Rate is now 22 times more academic scholarships than sports scholarships. Also, sports scholarships are rated annually, where academic can be given for more than one year. That said 3 schools offered DD some sports scholarships, and every one she applied to offered her scholastic scholarships - even those in-state public schools, which ended up being the least expensive. After all her sports accomplishments, she decided to go to a school based upon an academic challege and not play sports. She does work out and play IM volleyball and softball, though.
3. Students unprepared for the rigors of college academics will have a hard time and could fail college - we personally know 4 close friends of DD's who lost their scholarships for sports because they could not keep up with academics. Yes, some who don't play sports fail as well and sports helps one learn a lot, but can't you learn that at 15 hours a week and maybe devote a bit more time to the math and science books?
There are so many kids i have in classes that can tell me everything about a sport, but can't write a simple research paper, or can take useful notes in class. It has gotten worse year after year. No, not all kids have to be "brainiacs" but we are loosing ground in this country to other countries whose students are devoting more time to study. We need to celebrate more "brainiacs" and less sports heros. After all, Bill Gates and Steve Jobes did not get to run major companies from a ball field.
4. I am amazed more parents have not lashed out about the huge commitment of sports, but I think for many parents it is part of their own social life, or their own unrealised dreams. If more would stand up for limits on the sports commitments, maybe we could create more brainiacs in other fields kids could find they are passionate about?
Our kids are both off at school. My DD, who was a good student in HS, honor society but not valedictorian, just got her 14th 4.0 in college and found passion in Economics, so much so her professor has asked her if she would like to study abroad with him next year. She will graduate college early, in 3.5 years only staying that last half a year for the trip abroad, and will go on to law school to pursue business law.
My son is having a lot of fun in college too, found a good fit at a school for him and he has founded clubs to support local veterans groups. He is on track so far to graduate in 4 years in technical procurement (think engineering sales/purchasing.)
I would love to see an entire high school turn out and cheer for a math contest like they do football games, but we are admitted Geeks. Geeks with good careers though, so we are pretty happy!

You should check out the Urban Dictionary on crew
And didn't they pitch you on the "it'll be a great sport for a college scholarship?" LOL - had to throw that in given our discussion.
Thank God all my kids are mediocre at swimming (just joking, kind of...). What is it with the 5am practices??? At our HS, JV water meets after school and Varsity meets before AND after, starting, yes, at 5:30am.
Hello.... that means a parent has to actually get up at 5am and drive you there (my girls got their licenses senior and junior year, because that's when they turned 16). UGH!!!!
You're a sweet mom to put up with this since your dd loves it.

As I said, i would not want my kdis schedules, but they loved it. We were told by more than one admittance persons that they were looking for the good student who has several things. These were to both big and little and private and public schools. They don't have to super crazy, but they do expect more than the A student, the good athlete or the music superstar. Again, not saying that a kid can't get into school, there is a lid for every pot. But, as I told my Scouts, there is a difference between goig to a school that accepted you and getting your choice of schools. They are both good, they both are going to the same eind. It just is nice to have choices. I did daycare for an admittance counselor for a small liberal arts school for years, and he said your kid does not have to be the start, but you better have something.

When the kids were little (like elementary school) we let them do up to 2 activities. But the stakes were lower then. Girl Scouts at that age were 1 meeting a week. Sometimes 1 thing on a weekend. 1 campout. And dance was 1 hour a week, and then recital.
When the stakes got higher (middle school) we said '1" activity. My oldest was fine with that. Her passion had been violin since 5th grade- violin it was. The youngest loved dance. Tried viola in 5th grade- just to show her sister up LOL. Found in 6th grade that "hey I'm actually good" when she made top chair in the orchestra and made all-city. 7th grade came around and she wanted to do the community orchestra her sister had been involved in for the last few years.
Told her it was music or dance not both. Yes the community orchestra is only a 2 hour a week rehersal. BUT- the one she's currently in is $400/year plus $70 for season tickets for dh and I to the concerts. She has to reherse her music. The rehersal venue is a half-hour away one way- and rehersal runs until 9pm on a school night. And when you add private lessons in there to the tune of $30/week- AND dance is $250/year+$100 or so for costumes+$50 for shoes- 1 activity is plenty.
My oldest was able to get into a private school last year. Half of tuition was covered between 2 academic scholarships, and she also has a $3000/year music scholarship. And she got that by only doing 1 yes "1" activity.
Drives me nuts when parents say "well my kid has to do all of this stuff to get into college". No they don't.

By Meg Grooms
Every single child in this world is different and has different educational needs. Parents who have children with special education needs face unique challenges, I happen to have two special needs children who are homeschooled. The good news is that homeschooling your special needs child is often the best situation for the child and your child doesn't have to give up school-funded therapies in order to homeschool, and it doesn't have to hurt your wallet. The hard work of homeschooling a special needs child is twice as rewarding.
Most states allow children to be evaluated for special programs at the public school, including students who do the bulk of their learning outside of a traditional school. Homeschooled children in most states are eligible to receive free speech therapy, autism support, occupational therapy, gifted education and other programs through their locally zoned public school. Your child will attend school for these programs only, they do not need to be enrolled full-time. Using this option is generally the least expensive and most convenient for a family, however family participation isn't always encouraged and you may find yourself fighting to stay informed of your child's status. You may also feel pressure from the school to enroll your child full-time. If this happens remember that they are speaking from a numbers and funding standpoint, schools garner three times as much funding for special education students as they do "normal" students. Your local school district will have all of the information you need to have your child evaluated and you generally do not have to have a prior evaluation or referral from a doctor. The school has a legal obligation to provide these services to your child regardless of where you child is educated. If you find the program just isn't working out you are free to remove your child at any time to seek services elsewhere.
Most states also offer early intervention programs for children identified before the age of 5 as having special needs. In some states these programs work hand-in-hand with the local schools, but since all are publicly funded they are open to ALL children who qualify. Evaluations, programs and therapies will be provided at no cost, and many can be performed in your home. A quick call to your state's Department of Health should gain you all the information you need to get your child evaluated.
Parents who have private medical insurance might be surprised at what they will pay for. Many top-tier insurance plans now cover speech therapy, hearing aids, physical therapy, psychological care, occupational therapy and many other therapies and programs your child can benefit from. There are hoops that you will have to jump through and you will most likely need the referral of a physician. This is a wonderful alternative for those who are unable to take their children to a school for these services or who want to try to keep everything in-house and under the radar. While this option is not free, it is desirable for those in the position to pay for therapy and who want the government school system involved as little as possible. If your family participates in a state-funded insurance program you are eligible for these services through your state Department of Health at no cost in most cases, when your child reaches compulsory school attendance age you will be referred to the local school district for most services. If you do not have insurance most hospitals that offer these services have a sliding scale, some have limited amounts of state funding to cover the costs of low income and uninsured children.
There are alternative service locations available if you know where to look. In many communities, tutoring for all ages is offered for free or low cost at senior centers, community centers, churches and church schools, the YMCA and other community clubs, community colleges and universities. Many private and church schools have programs for special needs children at a reduced cost, including autism support programs several days a week.
While homeschooling a special needs child takes more effort than homeschooling a child who doesn't need these services, you are your child's best advocate and you have the ultimate choice of where and how their education will take place.
- Your child doesn't need to go to school in order to receive the services they need.
- It is your job as parent to ensure your children get the best possible education, and for most special needs students traditional school isn't the best option, and it is certainly not the only option.
- Arm yourself with information and surround yourself with people who care and can support you. Locate a support group geared for parents of special education children who are homeschooled, research the internet, talk to professionals and make a sound decision based on your information and child.

Porn2Mainstream: French Fashion House Uses Porn Stars As Ad Models
August 16th, 2006 | researchmaterial
Shai Clothing, a French clothier, is using nude French porn stars to sell its latest styles in new online ads.
Jeff Lanctot, vice president of Seattle-based ad agency Avenue A/Razorfish, said Shai's Web strategy shows that advertisers are no longer looking for hit shows like "Friends,†to sell their products. They are now looking to replace A-list actors like the sitcom's Jennifer Aniston with a porn star…
(Which would make sense in some instances, as I don't see Ms Aniston wanting to publicly model things like Miko Exoticwear's new steel buttplugs, for example…)

Gangs of New York
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Gangs of New York ---- (DVD - 2003) This show is not for the young to watch! It does have a Historical value. ---- Enjoy! 3 1/2 Stars. ---- RichardPaul (Finished 12-25-2013)
There's a scene in Martin Scorsese's 'Gangs of New York's where Daniel Day-Lewis's character Bill "the Butcher" Cutting is presented a dead rabbit, which is a declaration of war by his enemy Amsterdam Vallon (Leonardo DiCaprio), and during the scene he gives this look, this horrific death stare that gives me chills everytime I see it, it was at this point in the film where I knew Gangs of New York would be an amazing film. New York in 1862, specifically in the Five Points where the film takes place is as much a character as the players themsleves, it's bleak shadows and filthy streets reflect the inherent danger when America was in it's adolescence. War between rival gangs and draft riots took the lives of thousands. In a way Gangs of New York gives an in your face look at just the time when the right values and morality where put in place. Like the tagline says, "America was born in the streets."
More like a ferocious medieval folk tale than Scorsese's usual look into modern gangster culture, this packs a lot of actual historical information into an epic recreation of the birth of New York City's (and the US's) history of violence. That 5-Points set is worth the price of admission. (Walk down to Columbus Park in Chinatown today and try not to be moved!) Stir that up with probably the most incredible role ever played by the great Daniel Day Lewis as the historically inspired Bill the Butcher..........WOOPSADAISY!
In 1863, Amsterdam Vallon returns to the Five Points area of New York City seeking revenge against Bill the Butcher, his father's killer.
Chaos, anarchy, violence, prejudice, fiction.
This film reeks of epicness! Erin go Bragh!
Lots of blood, and not all that much plot. What plot there is seems problematic. Why does a Catholic priest have a son? In the climactic fight, the gangs appear to be completely overshadowed by the riot, kinda rendering the whole thing pointless. Maybe that *is* the point: violence, and the movie, has no point.
One of the best movies I have seen thus far! Acting is amazing by all the characters and Day-Lewis outshines himself in thus one. A MUST SEE MOVIE
The acting in this movie ranges from great to good. Daniel Day-Lewis is wonderful as The Butcher. And DiCaprio does a fantastic job as Amsterdam. This movie is very long and drawn out, but I very much enjoyed this film. I would recommend everyone see this movie at least once.

Castleford Tigers has today announced a partnership with newly formed USA Rugby League side, the Brooklyn Kings.
The partnership will see both clubs share resources and implement initiatives to develop the game and their brands on a global scale.
Kings co-founders, Matt Bailey and Justin Coffman, are looking forward to working closely with Castleford personnel. "This is absolutely our most exciting coup to date", said Bailey. "To join the family of a successful, professional sports organization in the Tigers is of unprecedented value to the development of our team both on and off the field."
Just as thrilled was Castleford CEO, Steve Gill, "We are very pleased to offer the Tigers brand as a means of developing the Brooklyn Kings not only in the States, but in the UK as well. It is great to envision one day having a New York bred player pull on the famous black and amber of the Tigers." The clubs plan to nurture a long-lasting relationship where players, coaches, management and fans of both organizations are able to interact with one another.
The deal was facilitated by former Tigers try-scoring machine, Nick Youngquest, who has joined the Kings in a coaching and development capacity. With 248 games of NRL and Super League experience under his belt, Youngquest's presence will no doubt result in more bodies at training and improved performance on the pitch. "I'm beyond excited to come on board at the Kings in their inaugural USARL season", said Youngquest. "Matt and Justin have done a great job to get the ball rolling, and I think that, collectively, we can make this the premier Rugby League team in America."
No matter what part of the world, you can show your support for the Brooklyn venture by becoming a founding member and being the first to own official merchandise. "The role of members in our fight for a premiership cannot be underestimated", said Bailey. "The response so far has been unbelievable. We have members from Brooklyn, North Carolina, Texas, and even Australia, New Zealand and the UK. We're excited to see who signs up next!"
The Kings are set to participate in the USARL International Nine's Tournament hosted by the Philadelphia Fight on May 17, followed by round 1 of the season proper away to the Rhode Island Rebellion on May 31. The Kings play their first home game in Brooklyn on June 7 against the Boston 13's.
Become a Brooklyn Kings Founding member by visiting the Membership Drive. Also stay tuned to www.brooklynkingsrugby.com, Facebook and Twitter.

Torrington hospital developer requests tax abatement
Says hospital can't afford new facility without one
BARKHAMSTED -- The Board of Selectmen is expected to bring a tax abatement proposal to voters next month for a developer that intends to build a new medical facility off Route 44 for Charlotte Hungerford Hospital's emergency services center.
Selectmen on Jan. 9 tabled the Economic Development Commission's recommendation to approve the tax abatement for Borghesi Building Co. in Torrington so they could review it further. The selectmen are expected to discuss it again Wednesday night and send it to a town meeting in February.

I would bet my life savings that the politicians that are pushing this project will leave the mess for someone else to fix as "unanticipated problem" and we should rally the general public " taxes" to fix.

Is Barkhamsted Building officials going to oversee this project on their own time?
It would appear that our government officials only wants our taxpayers to sacrifice revenue that we pay. How about negotiating a fifty percent below normal reasonable hospital and physician fees till were reimbursed for local residents or for ten years, you know, shared sacrifice? "

Parker continues to swing a hot bat for NKU
UNIVERSITY CENTER - Ferris fell down another run as Northern Kentucky's hot-hitting Cara Parker's sixth-inning hit drove in another run for a 3-0 lead.
We are now in the bottom of the sixth inning and time is running out on the Bulldogs to get something done against talented NKU pitcher April Ehlers, who is having a superb outing in the circle.

Producer Sham "Sak Pase" Joseph, on Jay-Z, Kanye West, Watch the Throne
Written by
Monday, 01 August 2011 23:38
This article consists of facts, information or commentary from .
The publishing of this article does not reflect an endorsement by The Sentinel, its Staff or Defend Haiti, LLC. Read About Us.
ATLANTA, USA- The new album, Watch the Throne, the collaborative endeavor between rappers, Jay-Z and Kanye West is set to release on iTunes on Saturday, August 8th, 2011. DH was able to follow up with the Haitian-American producer, Sham "Sak Pase" Joseph, who not only produced Rihanna's "Man Down" track but also contributed to the Def Jam Recording of Watch The Throne.
Joseph, who currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia, got connected to Def Jam by submitting samples of his work. When asked about this current accomplishment, he stated, "by far the biggest project in my career. My partner, Verse Simmonds and I have been pushing for this. It is a monumental moment for us."
Growing up in a Haitian household, Joseph's musical influences sparked his well sought ought production style which fuses Hip-Hop with West Indian sounds like Zouk. In the 1990's Joseph listened to The Fugees' album The Score- produced by Wyclef Jean's cousin, Jerry "Wonder" Duplessis- a Grammy Award nominated composer who has also produced for Lupe Fiasco, Trey Songs, and various movie soundtracks.
Today, Joseph says that young Haitians need more role models. "Our culture should be important as the Jewish culture and other culture to pass down to our generations, I'd like to see us represent more" he shared. To encourage future musicians, artists, and young people, Joseph stressed the importance of faith and hard work.
"Make great music, as long as you have a great product, put God first. Make sure you are aligned with the one who gave you talent; it comes a lot easier. It takes a lot of faith in the music industry".
Though The Watch the Throne LP has been his biggest project thus far, Sham " Sak Pase" Joseph has another surprise for us. One that DH dares not to spoil. Until then, make sure you get the album and check out his work.
His last words to us regarding why he represents for the Haitian people and island culture, " se moun fou nou ye, it's the energy we have, that's why people love to go to the Caribbean".
