While the 'digital divide' is well documented, studies show mixed results when trying to document technology's influence on learning for at-risk students. In part, this is because the digital learning ecosystem is so complex. The academic realities for at-risk children, many of whom live in poverty, are also well known. More than half of all students enrolled in public schools today meet this designation. They are more likely to start school less academically prepared than their peers, fall behind throughout the summer due to learning loss and less likely to have access to technology, including computers, at home. ...

Most parents think their children are exceptional. My oldest daughter, Kate, is doubly so.
Considered intellectually gifted, she also has ADHD, anxiety and bipolar disorder, a triple whammy that has impeded her ability to reach her full academic potential and has left her vulnerable to severe depression as well as intense periods of mania.
Throughout Kate's school career, my husband and I have sought to be her biggest advocate and source of support. With each transition – grade to grade, elementary to middle to high school – we have communicated with her teachers, school counselors and other student support staff about the academic and emotional challenges she faces. ...
Dr. Barry Bachenheimer is the Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment at Pascack Valley Regional High School District (NJ) and a 2014 NSBA 20 to Watch Education Technology Leader. He has been in education since 1993, serving as a teacher, social studies supervisor, principal and central office administrator. He also served as Director of Instruction in the Caldwell-West School System in Caldwell, NJ, prior to coming to Pascack.
Dr. Bachenheimer values personalized learning, student voice and thoughtful integration of technology in classrooms, and he recently supported Pascack Valley's efforts in creating a "Virtual Day" to take the place of a snow day in 2014. He was kind enough to take time to share his thoughts on these and other issues, including implementation of the Common Core State Standards.
Public School Insights (PSI): Let's start with your background. Where were you before you came to the Pascack Valley Regional High School District, and what positions did you hold that contributed to your current work in curriculum, instruction and assessment, as well as with technology? ...

Back-to-school is always exhilarating. The new classes, teachers, and students always promise new adventures. We at NEA HIN want all those adventures to be healthy ones. That's why we have new information on three of the issues that most affect students—allergies, hunger, and nutrition.
Take a moment to find out how to help students stay healthy and become the best learners they can be.
Fighting allergies and anaphylaxis
It's critical that ALL school employees, including teachers and education support professionals, know about allergic reactions, how to identify them, how to respond in an emergency, and how they can help prevent those reactions in the first place. ...
Our frequently stated goal is for all US students to graduate from high school prepared for college and career. The current emphasis on standards-based education reforms reflects our belief that there are things students should know and be able to do that will help them in that endeavor. While one of the main purposes of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) was to better identify and support struggling students, the law ultimately resulted in an overemphasis on high-stakes standardized testing and school performance (though fortunately, some policy leaders are beginning to take steps to reduce the emphasis on testing, particularly as many state transition to new academic standards). Ironically, educators, businesses and parents generally agree that test scores are a poor indicator of future success. ...
We either pay by investing in capacity building to reduce out of school suspensions now, or we pay later as a society as students go from schools to prisons. This succinct assessment, offered by San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) Superintendent Richard A. Carranza on a recent AASA webinar, highlights the importance of supporting school staff so they can meet students' social emotional and behavioral needs while keeping them in a safe academic environment. Out of school suspensions (OSS) are a risk factor in predicting the likelihood that a student will drop out of school and of later involvement with the justice system, and these suspensions disproportionately affect minority students. To break the school to prison pipeline, district leaders need to develop and implement effective supports for students and staff alike. ...

School counselors matter. Those of us close to the profession know and recognize the work our nation's preK–12 school counselors do every day to enrich students' academic and social/emotional development.
But in recent weeks, as federal officials look for ways to expand college access for all students, the role of the professional school counselor has taken center stage in ways not seen in a half century.
First Lady Michelle Obama spoke at the American School Counselor Association conference this summer in Orlando, praising the work of school counselors as part of her Reach Higher Initiative promoting college enrollment. At the conference, Mrs. Obama announced plans to recognize that work by honoring ASCA's School Counselor of the Year at the White House. ...

A severe allergic reaction, or what's called anaphylaxis, can be really serious and even life-threatening.
It can happen at anytime and anywhere – in the classroom, cafeteria, playground, on the bus or during a field trip. So it's critical that ALL school employees, including teachers and education support professionals, know about allergic reactions, how to identify them, how to respond in an emergency, and how they can help prevent them in the first place.
That's why NEA HIN and Sanofi US teamed up to create a video for educators and education support professionals on managing severe allergies in school. Watch the video below, and then head over to our allergy page for more information and resources on severe allergies and anaphylaxis. ...
By Morgan Lang, Unified Partner from Special Olympics Maryland
Morgan, a high school student in Calvert County MD, recently competed in unified basketball at the Special Olympics USA Game in New Jersey. Dedicated to promoting social inclusion through shared sports training and competition experiences, Unified Sports joins people with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team. It was inspired by a simple principle: training together and playing together is a quick path to friendship and understanding. The teams are comprised of similar age and ability matching of unified partners (individuals without intellectual disabilities) and Special Olympics athletes (individuals with intellectual disabilities).

Below is a poem Morgan wrote about being a unified partner and how the Special Olympics athletes have impacted her life. ...
As a child, I was told never to say that I was bored. Being bored meant I wasn't able to find something interesting or engaging to do, which was not acceptable. "The world is big and full of opportunities, do something!", as my mother would say.
Boredom, as highlighted in the May issue of the Kappan, a PDK International publication, "is a mismatch between wanting intellectual arousal but being unable to engage in a satisfying activity." The above description of boredom, from the article "Neuroscience Reveals That Boredom Hurts," suggests that students who seem to willfully defy urgings to focus on school assignments and work may simply be experiencing an involuntary brain reaction. ...

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- The top two officials at the University of Memphis are backing a plan to allow people without legal U.S. residency to pay in-state tuition rates at the school.
Interim President Brad Martin told The Commercial Appeal that many successful high school graduates lack access to higher education.
Martin and Provost David Rudd are backing plans to bolster U of M enrollment and retention by abolishing out-of-state tuition, and by enabling successful students without legal U.S. residency who live in Tennessee to pay in-state tuition rates.
Two bills working their way through legislative committees in Nashville would give students without legal U.S. residency who have lived in Tennessee five years access to in-state tuition.
Martin sent a letter to members of the legislature Wednesday where the bills are pending review.

This is one of a 3-book series covering various aspects of marriage according to the authentic Sunnah. Marriage plays a most central role in the human life, and has been largely discussed by the scholars of Islaam through the ages, resulting in numerous writings and treatises. Some of those writings, mostly by contemporary scholars, have been translated into English. However, we find them restricted in scope, addressing Muslims who live in predominantly Islaamic countries, or overlooking important real issues that have developed under modern civilization. This leaves quite a large gap that needs to be filled for the benefit of the Muslims in English-speaking countries, and this is what we attempt to fulfill over the span of three books."
This unique title covers a number of different aspects in marriage, including human sexuality, Islamic etiquettes of intimacy, prohibited acts of intimacy, ghusl, the 'awrah, zina', birth control, indecent acts, and more.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals sign Keenan Clayton and Anthony Walters
The Arizona Cardinals added to their defensive depth Wednesday with the additions of linebacker Keenan Clayton and safety Anthony Walters on one-year contracts.
The team announced the moves Wednesday, though terms of the deals were not disclosed.
A former fourth-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2010 out of Oklahoma, Clayton, who has also spent time with the Oakland Raiders, has played in 36 career games and tallied 29 tackles on defense, four passes defensed and one forced fumble. He also has 26 special teams tackles.
Walters joined the Chicago Bears as an undrafted free agent in 2011 out of Delaware, and went on to appear in 33 games while recording 21 special teams tackles, seven tackles on defense, one forced fumble and two tackles for a loss.

Ms. Vestager Goes to Brussels
And in the end, the grapevine had it right: It was Margrethe Vestager, not Helle Thorning-Schmidt who left for Brussels.
First of all, Helle Thorning-Schmidt has been in a "when will you stop beating your husband"-situation for a long time: Even if she were a possible candidate for the European Council presidency, there was no way she could announce her interest or disclose any details about the process. In fact, it is a bit of a lose-lose situation: If she had left Danish politics for Brussels, she would have been described as a defector. Now, media can spin the "Thorning lost the Council presidency" angle.
Vestager is the highest-ranking politician Denmark has sent to the EU since the appointment of Henning Christophersen in 1985. Incidentally, Christophersen, Vestager and Connie Hedegaard all came from the junior partner in the sitting government. Exactly which portfolio she will get in the Juncker commission remains to be seen – even if the Trade portfolio may be seen as less prominent than some of the economic portfolios it is still central for the foreign relations and economic policies of the EU member states.
Vestager has been party leader (not chairman!) since 2007. 7.5 years in office is a respectable run for a party leader these days, even if she trails her successor Marianne Jelved with 10 years. Her career in national politics spans a 20-year period so she is also typical of the present generation of politicians who enter national politics in their mid-20s and leave before the age of 50.
Finally, Vestager has also been representative of the contemporary Danish social liberals: Distinctively urban, with steely self-control (see: Max Weber on Protestantism), right-wing (or perhaps rather: Neoclassical) with regard to economic policies and left-wing in cultural and immigration issues. Despite the change of party leader, there is little reason to believe that Morten Østergaard will choose a different line.
Project 52 – 2014: Week 34
Odense was host to two festivals during the past week and of course I missed both the Hans Christian Andersen and the Spoken Words events. Anyway, Ny Vestergade was transformed to a Festival Street but on Sunday afternoon this was what remained. The dumpsters look like unintentional artworks.
Project 52 – 2014: Week 33
The fair nights have ended for this summer. The weather changed abruptly earlier in the week. It had been cold and the rain had been pouring down all day. Now it is dark and quiet. Time to go to bed.
Project 52 – 2014: Week 32
The theme for week 32 was "Grand".
In Mikkel Bryggers Gade just off the lower end of Strøget, Copenhagen's main pedestrian street, you will find Grand Teatret, Copenhagen's main art-house cinema. I remember watching films like Jim Jarmusch' Mystery Train, Thomas Vinterberg's Festen and David Lynch' Mulholland Drive here. During the 1980s and 1990s I used to visit the cinema once or twice every month, then I moved to Sweden and then to Odense and up until last month it had been quite a while since I had last seen a movie here. But during my summer holidays I managed to catch "Enough Said" in Grand. It felt a bit like returning home.
Pape: Next in Line
Let's face it: Now everybody in the Commentariat know that Lars Barfoed has been a dead man walking since June and nobody – absolutely nobody – has been reporting it before Barfoed announced his resignation as Conservative leader on Wednesday.
So here is what we know and what we don't know:
1. The Conservative Party will have its third leader in six years. Espersen led the party from ten to five percent, Barfoed failed to reverse the trend and now Pape is charged with lifting the party back to – no, not its former glory – but the ten percent-mark.
2. We don't know exactly when the process which led to Barfoed's resignation began but unlike 1993, 1998, 1998 and 2011 the party has been able to conduct the change of leader without involving the media.
3. That a parliamentary group isn't able to produce a political leader is, if not unheard of, then highly unusual in Danish politics. I think we would have to go back to the Social Liberals' selection of Niels Helveg Petersen in 1976 and then the Liberals' selection of Th. Madsen-Mygdal in 1926 to find parallels among the major parties. Unlike Søren Pape, Helveg and Mygdal had previous experience as MPs. Incidentally, the Swedish Social Democrats found themselves in the same predicament following the Juholt fiasco in 2012 and had to recruit a trade union leader for the post.
4. Søren Pape appears to have been second or even third choice behind Michael Ziegler and – possibly – Rasmus Jarlov.
5. Pape also appears to be well-regarded among party activists. A case of party organisation vs. parliamentary group – even if the members of the parliamentary group should be more concerned about their immediate prospects. The question is if the appeal to activists can be transferred to electoral appeal.
6. That said, the Conservatives did have some successes in the 2013 local election. Having credible candidates for local office (such as incumbent mayors) definitely helps in campaigns.
7. But: Local politics are different from national politics. Individual skills count for more, ideological positions for less than in national politics. Pape may be a more fiery politician than Barfoed (not that that says much) but will he be able to position the party in a way which is attractive to a larger portion of the electorate – remember that what attracts activists and what attracts voters are often two different things.
One final thought about the Danish Conservatives: Their most successful leaders – Christmas-Møller, Aksel Møller, Poul Sørensen and Poul Schlüter – may not have been deep thinkers or outspoken ideologues. In fact, this may have been what made them attractive to middle-class white-collar voters. They were able to strike a balance between business and wage-earner interests which made the party attractive to a relatively large section of the electorate. Under Bendt Bendtsen's term in office, the party more or less reduced itself to a business interest party whose main programme consisted in demands for company tax cuts with calls for lower income taxes for the highest earners thrown in for good measure. This is a programme which at best attracts some ten percent of the electorate and the party will need to broaden its appeal – something it can only do by putting more of a distance to the Liberals (who are of course the Conservatives' only realistic partner in the Folketing).
Similarly, the recruitment and training of political talent has been found wanting since the 1990s – something which the choice of a non-MP as new leader is an all too obvious indication of – and it needs at least a handful of MPs which do not come across as spent forces or below-par.
Oh – and one more thing: The fate of the German FDP must serve a as warning to the Danish Conservatives: Just because you have been a mainstay of the political system for generations doesn't mean that you can't work your way out of office and into political irrelevance by lacking credible policies and competent leadership. A Folketing without a Conservative group is a distinct possibility, if not in 2015 then at the following election.

The Peculiar Danish Obsession with Sweden
First of all, I might as well admit that I haven't listened to any episodes of Radio 24Syv's series "Danmarks Röst" – a programme hosted by Mikael Jalving. Jalving is fairly big on the Danish right, in particular that part which focuses on anti-immigration and anti-islamic politics and convinced that European societies are under a mortal threat from Muslims, multiculturalism and political correctness. You will recognise the stance from parties like PVV in the Netherlands, Front National in France and of course the Republican right in the US. But Jalving is also part of what we might now call a Danish tradition of obsessing with Swedish policies – seeing them as an expression of multicultural political correctness which – surprise, surprise – will somehow lead to the creation of some kind of Muslim controlled polity. My question is this: Given that Denmark and Sweden in many ways are so similar, then why this obsession with Sweden?
One place to begin could be with the observation that Sweden appears almost non-existent in contemporary left-wing political discourse. If we go back to the 1960s and 1970s, things were different as Sweden in many ways was a model for the modern Social Democratic welfare state. The left-wing would also see neutral Sweden with its links to the Third World movement as an inspiration in international politics. But these days, the interest for Swedish politics appear nonexistent. If anything, the Social Democrats take their cues from what is still left of the Blairite tendency in the UK Labour Party and Clintonian triangulation combined with EU economic orthodoxy which has nothing to do with traditional Social Democratic welfare politics. It is also difficult to see SF and the Red-Green Alliance using contacts with their Swedish counterparts actively.
One reason for this could be that Sweden has in fact had a centre-right government for the past eight years. In fact, since 1976 Sweden has had centre-right governments for 17 out of 38 years and in many ways contemporary Sweden is one of the most market-liberal (or deregulated, if you prefer that term) societies not just in Europe but in the Western world. This may come as a complete surprise if you listen to the Danish right-wing debate.
We can also note that even if the days of Social Democratic hegemony are long gone – the Social Democrats have still to discover this but that is another matter – Swedish politics is still characterised by the dominance of the socio-economic left-right dimension both with regard to the political agenda and the composition of the electorates of the political parties.
Here, we have a huge difference between Sweden and Denmark: The Danish Liberals – and the Danish People's Party – won the 2001 election by attracting blue-collar voters while the Swedish Conservatives won the 2006 election by attracting urban white-collar middle-class voters. And the question about East and Central European workers' access to the Swedish labour market had already been solved when the Green Party joined the centre-right parties and voted against the Social Democrats' proposal to impose limits for migrant workers. Despite the attempts of the Liberal Party in the 2002 election, immigration policy never acquired the same salience in the Swedish political mainstream as in Danish politics.
The exception which sort of proves the rule is presented by the Sweden Democrats which have quite successfully tapped into the traditional protest vote constituency of younger non-urban, male voters with no or limited formal education in the 2010 national and 2014 European Parliament election. Anti-immigrant sentiment is one major factor explaining the Sweden Democrats' success but we should not forget that Sweden Democrat voters are also characterised by a high level of distrust in the established political system. At the same time, the centre-right has preferred not to rely on the Sweden Democrats as a supporting party during the 2010-2014 parliamentary term even though the four-party Alliance lost its parliamentary majority in 2010. In many ways the Sweden Democrats are the point of identification for the Danish right-wing debate, but it does strike me as rather odd to make a party which is in the 5-10% range the Voice of the True Sweden – while the general Swedish opinion is becoming less, rather than more negative towards immigrants. More likely, the Sweden Democrats serve as a projection of the Danish right-wing debate.
Here, we should also note that a liberal immigration policy can be linked with both a leftist, multiculturalist position and a politically and economically liberal position. In my opinion, this – and the marked absence of a nationalist conservative position (like the one promoted by the Danish Liberals and the Danish Social Democratic mainstream) outside of the ranks of the Sweden Democrats – has led to a fundamental difference between Sweden and Denmark. In many ways, Danish politics has been dominated by a nationalist conservative hegemony in the 21st century with Social Democrats playing a game of catching-up. At the same time, Swedish governments have been more radical in introducing market-based (or neo-liberal) reforms of the welfare states than most other West European countries including Denmark. Sweden, curiously, appears to be to the right of Denmark on the socio-economic dimension even if the previous Liberal-Conservative governments and the present Social Democratic-Social Liberal government have adhered to the austerian economic policies promoted by the EU.
Finally, there is the question of "political correctness" and its role in politics. Based on impressions, I would say that Swedish political discourse for better or for worse with regard to issues like immigration and gender is more cautious than the Danish. Here, my guess is that one explanation is that Swedish politics has traditionally taken US progressive politics as its point of departure for much of the past 80 years. "Political correctness" – which in many ways is based on a desire to break with racist and patriarchical traditions in US society and politics – is linked with a specific liberal conception of modernity and this conception was embraced wholeheartedly – albeit successively by different parties – by the political mainstream in Sweden from the 1930s onward. In this way, it fits the Swedish mindset better than the Danish, given that Denmark in many ways was dragged kicking and screaming into the post-war industrial and service economy and society. "Islamization" – the explanation for just about everything in Danish right-wing politics – has nothing to do with it. (Incidentally, Danish right-wingers appear to take their cues from US right-wing think tanks and politics)
Obviously, things are a bit more complicated: The differences between Danish and Swedish immigration and integration policies are smaller than the numbers could lead us to believe. In many ways Denmark and Sweden face the same problems and have chosen the same policies to deal with integration once people have settled in one of the two countries. Multiculturalism also straddles a very complicated cleavage between individualism and the politics of group identity – and group identity politics are not necessarily as progressive as multiculturalists would like to imagine.
We also have to consider differences in the interplay between feminist movements and the state: Denmark was in fact a frontrunner with regard to women's movements and gender equality during the 1970s but as the feminist movement always kept a distance to the state, gender equality more or less disappeared from the political agenda as 1970s radicalism ran out of steam. Swedish feminists on the other hand created close ties with the political and administrative establishment and in this way kept the issue alive. In fact, the ability of popular movements to infiltrate the political and administrative apparatus has been one important characteristic of Swedish politics since the 1920s. Systembolaget – that perennial object of Danish ridicule – was born out of the teetotalers' movement, not a state dictate.
So, to sum up: While Sweden and Denmark are quite similar in many respects, Sweden is if fact different from Denmark on a number of important characteristics. While Danish politics for the past two decades have been characterised by centrist economic policies and conservative social (or "value") policies, Swedish politics have been decided on the socio-economic dimension with market liberalism and individualism as the dominant forces. While Danish society (and politics) continues to have a significant conservative and anti-modern element built into it, Swedish society and politics have embraced modernism and post-industrialism. And finally, while popular movements have kept their distance to the Danish state and formal political system, Swedish movements have worked actively to gain and keep access to the inner corridors of power, but Danes simply do not understand how the Swedish system works and assume that some kind of top-down suppression of popular sentiment is at play.
All of this isn't to say that Swedish society and politics are without problems or contradictions but from a Danish point of view Sweden is at the same time similar enough and different enough to serve as an object of projection.
Project 52 – 2014: Week 26
This is – or rather: was – Thomas B. Thriges Gade, a main throughfare in central Odense which was planned and built in the 1950s and 1960s to connect the southern, residential parts of the city with the industrial districts around the harbour. A large part of the old city was torn down to make way for the street. In many ways, it was a typically modernist project.
As times have changed, so have the commercial structures and traffic patterns. TBT was still a heavily used street but some ten years ago local politicians began discussing the possibilities of closing the street in order to build a new residential and commercial neighbourhood.
Today, we reached an important mark as the street was closed for road traffic and the coming decade will see the rebuilding of the city centre. So, Saturday marked the halfway between idea and execution. (And "halfway" was this week's theme)

Ok so here we go. We have our new 30 day challenge for you to take on. Are you ready?
Our goal is not just to help you lose weight, but to mostly create healthy lifestyle changes that will last. Consider this a 30 day transformation to get you ongoing results months and years down the road. Best of all….it's free!
While weight loss is a goal for many and will mostly likely happen during the challenge, this is not our main focus. What does that mean? It means no more obsessing over some number on a scale. It means not looking for just a temporary or quick fix to our weight. It means that we are aiming to achieve a healthy lifestyle first (and the weight loss usually comes with it). Choose health first (in what you eat and do in your lifestyle) and your weight should not be a stressful factor from this point on.
So, for this challenge we seriously want you to put the scale in a closet or toss it out (like I did many years back). If you want to take a before and after weight reading for the 30 days, then go ahead and take your weight now and then put away the scale for the whole 30 days.
Better yet take a picture of yourself now. Use that to tell the difference down the road and not the scale. You should be able to see the results more clearly in pictures (and how your clothes fit) rather than some arbitrary number that doesn't tell you much.
The 30 day challenge is split into 3 phases:
For the 30 days you will get a new post each Mon, Wed and Fri. Each post will contain a specific topic of the phase that we want you to focus on and an action to take.
Remember this challenge is about taking the steps needed to get you where you want to be. So from this point on your commitment and action is required, and the excuses are left behind.
Let's get started!
Phase I is all about elimination and detox. Elimination of the things that have crept into our lives little by little and can be a strain to our total health (allergenic, toxic, stressors). Once we can eliminate them, then we can allow the body to catch up on some much needed internal repair/healing/rebuilding.
This is not some Hollywood detox quick weight loss scam. This is about getting your body back in good health. After all if you want to burn fat more efficiently, then you are best to focus on having a healthy metabolism (including all the organs involved).
So below are the rules for the next 2 weeks. We eliminate all the things that stress our body for a short period of time and then focus on the healthy things to support turning things around.
So there you have it. Just for the next 2 weeks we eliminate all the things that can have a negative stress/impact (dairy, wheat, alcohol, caffeine, processed foods), and give our body some much needed time off. We will allow you to reintroduce things back in Phase II, but it is important for you to understand how eliminating some stressors may improve how you feel and look.
Time to go shopping for all the foods we want to eat in the next 2 weeks, and get rid of the foods that we do not (throw them out, put them in a box, hide them in the closet, give them away). You can not have bad influences laying around the house that you will see and only tempt you, they have to go!
So there are the rules, time to start today! Remember, that as part of your accountability you should come back after each task and leave your comment (in the posts) about what you completed today. Make it happen!

Fund Company Boards Increasingly Concerned About Intermediary Oversight According To Boston Financial Survey
QUINCY, Mass., June 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., a leading financial services provider, today announced the results of its 4th Annual Financial Intermediary Administration Survey of mutual fund companies.
The 2014 survey, which was designed to provide insight into how the industry is addressing the challenges of financial intermediary (FI) oversight related to shareholder activity, indicates that legal/regulatory risk remains far and away the greatest concern faced by fund companies.
Of particular note this year, 71% of survey respondents identified reputational risk as an increasing area of attention, up from 63% in 2013. In addition, approximately 70% of survey participants indicated that their fund boards have intensified focus on FI-specific oversight and management activities in the last year.
According to Mike McNeill, managing director of Boston Financial's Financial Intermediary Administration (FIA™) business, effective intermediary oversight is clearly perceived as a serious need at the Board level."Regulators recognize that many funds have more shareholder positions on the FI recordkeeping systems than their transfer agent system," says McNeill, "and we are all aware that they're working to better understand the interactions between intermediaries and the fund companies. As a result, and confirmed in the survey, boards are asking the funds to enhance financial intermediary oversight processes to ensure they can better understand and manage all aspects of these relationships." The survey also indicates that the vast majority of respondents – 91% – expect the need for effective FI oversight will continue to grow. While SEC activity is almost universally identified as the primary reason, 83% believe fund board interest will drive this increase as well, up sharply from 67% last year. As the largest provider of transfer agency services in the U.S., Boston Financial is uniquely positioned to gain input on current fund company needs and service gaps and to monitor sentiment about the business landscape. Boston Financial's FIA Solutions provides fund companies with data and relationship management information and tools to improve FI payment administration and to simplify inspection and monitoring obligations.

When you think of the meals you might enjoy on your arctic expedition, what comes to mind?
These are exciting times for polar adventurers! For the first time, Quark Expeditions is offering a land-based adventure to an Arctic destination. [Read More]
leave the family at home and please yourself by traveling on your own with Quark Expeditions, to one of the most remote (and fun) locations on Earth –Antarctica! [Read More]
When you think of the meals you might enjoy on your arctic expedition, what comes to mind?
Nansen Weber has had access to the Arctic as his photography playground his entire life. Spending most summers in his youth exploring Baffin Island with his family and Inuit friends, he grew up with the spectacle of the Canadian Arctic as his muse.
Polar travelers love seeing penguins on their Antarctic expeditions, and Quark is delighted to support an initiative to ensure we can continue to meet and interact with penguins for generations to come.
The seventh and southernmost continent was the last to be discovered and remains a source of fascination and inspiration to all who encounter it.
As a premier provider of Antarctic expeditions, we consider the Quark team and our passengers stewards of the incredible environments we are privileged to visit. As such, we take great pride in supporting the work of organizations like South Georgia Heritage Trust, caretakers of the historic Grytviken church and leaders of the South Georgia Habitat Restoration Project.
Penguins play in South Georgia - credit: South Georgia Heritage Trust
The ambitious £7.5 million Habitat Restoration Project aims to reverse the ecological destruction caused by invasive rodents, which were introduced by sealers and whalers to South Georgia over the last two centuries. Climate change is also wreaking havoc on the delicate island, causing the retreat of its glaciers, which in turn allows rats to gain a stronger foothold in the area.

They may be remote, but there's plenty to see on the Antarctic archipelagos of South Orkney and South Shetland Islands.
Vacations aren't supposed to be stressful. Yet sometimes we create stress for ourselves by planning an overly elaborate trip at an overly crowded destination, going to great lengths to please everyone.
Here's a solution: reward yourself by traveling on your own with Quark Expeditions, to one of the most remote (and fun) locations on Earth – Antarctica!

Jaheim - Finding My Way Back
Artist: Jaheim
Producer: Orthodox & Ransum
Album: Another Round
Avg Rating: 4.2 ( 19 votes )
Though the R&B veteran's last single, the Booth-acclaimed Ain't Leavin' Without You, suggested that Jaheim was back to the womanizing ways of his younger days, it seems that there's still one female for whom he'd be willing to settle down – that is, if she'd only take him back. Finding My Way Back, the second official single off his forthcoming full-length, finds the Jersey native struggling to break through the emotional defenses of an ex he can't bear to let slip away. As the singer delivers his soulful entreaties, co-producers Ivan "Orthodox" Barias and Carvin "Ransum" Haggins man the boards, crafting a lush, dreamy beat considerably more laid-back than that of Ain't Leavin', but drenched in the same brand of retro appeal. While we can only speculate about whether the lady in question will heed Jaheim's pleas and give him another chance, I have no doubt that the Booth's resident R&B-lovers will be won over. If you're thirsty for more soulful, old-school-informed jams, you can look forward to Another Round on February 9, when the singer's fifth album drops via Atlantic Records.

Both are quality scents. However, I would go with Green Irish Tweed, only because I can foresee wearing it more often throughout the year.
Mandarina Duck Pure Black by Mandarina Duck
Douce Amere by Serge Lutens
Bleu de Chanel by Chanel - One is immediately greeted with a very fresh, citrus pas de trois by the tangy orange tree, the tart lemon tree and the zesty grapefruit. Warm pink peppercorn as well as a...
EROLFA by Creed.
Rather than focusing on physicality influencing scents, I think scents are more a reflection a one's persona at a given time, which would encompass a myriad of considerations at the time of choice,...
Dior and Chanel are wonderful Houses, that is indisputable.
I found Spicebomb to have a sweet, pipe tobacco undercurrent, in its heart, and a fully-developed cherry-almond, pipe tobacco in its base.
Relevant thereto, try:
Fumerie Turque by Serge Lutens...
Ambre Russe by Parfum d'Empire - Initially, one is treated to a heady, spirituous accord, supplied by the bitter, salty vodka and the bracing, effervescent champagne, with an underlying faint...
Sycomore by Chanel.
Chevalier d'Orsay by D'Orsay.
Lys Mediterranee by Frederic Malle.
Red Aoud by Montale
Givenchy Play Intense by Givenchy
Rochas Man by Rochas
Five O'Clock Au Gingembre by Serge Lutens - One in initially treated to a lemony accord. Bergamot, with its bittersweet and peppery facets, commingles with a robust, sweetly floral, Earl Grey...
One would be Cuir Pleine Fleur/Fine Leather by Heeley.
I give Polo Blue by Ralph Lauren a very charitable, Neutral Rating. My impressions of it follow:
Polo Blue by Ralph Lauren - One is initially treated to a fruity melange of melons, cucumber and...
Spicebomb by Viktor & Rolf - Upon application, one is treated to a somewhat refreshing, fruity and citric blend from the commingling of an orangey and peppery bergamot, the tangy...
Domenico Caraceni 1913 by Domenico Caraceni.
While I answered this thread hypothetically, in reality, I agree with this ^^^^.
Sienne L'Hiver by Eau d'Italie.
This recent Thread should prove helpful: http://www.basenotes.net/threads/312513-How-long-would-a-30mL-bottle-last?highlight=formula+for+how+many+sprays+in+a+bottle
From your possibilities:
Givenchy Play Intense by Givenchy - Upon application, one is pleasantly treated to a refreshing duet of nectarous, mandarin tangerine and somewhat tart bergamot. Tumbling...
I own and enjoy both.
Infusion d'Homme by Prada.
Mazzolari Patchouly by Mazzolari - a creamy, amber-nuanced patchouli.
Keep away from sunlight;

Mazzolari Patchouly by Mazzolari.
Perhaps, Le Dandy by D'Orsay.
Doolciiisssimo by Hilde Soliani.
This ^^^^^.
A Taste of Heaven by By Kilian - This all-season, well-blended, and masculine composition can prove to be very versatile.
Get him:
Play by Givenchy - Citrus abounds in the opening, with bergamot, mandarin orange, bitter orange and grapefruit. This wonderful interplay of semi-sweet and semi-bitter flavors, with an...
Givenchy Play Intense by Givenchy and Egoiste/L'Egoiste by Chanel.
Rive Gauche pour Homme by Yves Saint Laurent is a good, office scent.
So are:
Antidote by Viktor & Rolf
L'Essence de Cerruti by Cerruti
Five O'Clock Au Gingembre by Serge Lutens
Sycomore by...
Sienne L'Hiver by Eau d'Italie - One is initially treated to a rush of herbal greenness. The peppery verdancy of geranium leaf intermingles with the mowed grass, tinged with cucumber, of...
The robust composition of Armani Code/Black Code impressed me as a sensual scent, with the only drawback being its longevity and projection, which left much to be desired.
I was a one-bottle man until I smelt vintage Givenchy Gentleman, which opened a whole new world.
@ L'Homme Blanc Individuel - Thanks for sharing such poignant memories.
Nope, I give a full wearing before purchasing; top notes can be deceiving.
Premier Figuier Extreme by L'Artisan Parfumeur.
L'Essence de Cerruti by Cerruti - One is initially treated to an invigorating bergamot, with its orangey bittersweetness and peppery facets. The freshness of the bergamot commingles with the...
Yes, this one ^^^^^^^^^.
Musc Ravageur by Frederic Malle - A blast of freshness hits you with the hay-like sweetness of lavender commingling with the zesty citrus of bergamot. This refreshing...
One would be:
Wazamba by Parfum d'Empire - Initially, one is treated to a rush of smoky, colophony incense commingling with the Christmas tree aroma of balsam fir. At once, one is immersed in the...
If I am limited to the two scents that you discussed, I would, without a doubt, choose M by Puredistance.
However, you mentioned using the fragrance as a "signature scent", and, in that regard,...
L'Air de Rien by Miller Harris - One is treated initially to a wave of freshness, supplied by the green, somewhat bitter woodiness of oakmoss, akin to a dank forest shadowed by its lush canopy....
As the OP will find out, many folks here go head over heels to smell like the perineum and surrounding structures, which, of course, underscores hednic's apt observation ↓↓↓:
Harrods Swarovski Crystal Oud Edition by Bond No. 9.
Spicebomb is another good scent from this fine House; my impressions ↓↓↓ follow:
Spicebomb by Viktor & Rolf - Upon application, one is treated to a somewhat refreshing, fruity and citric blend...
My impressions ↓↓↓ are quite contrary to yours:
Bulgari pour Homme Soir by Bulgari - An initial burst of refreshing bergamot, halfway between a lemon and an orange, with its tart and juicy green...
Some contenders would be:
Ambre Russe by Parfum d'Empire
L'Air du Desert Marocain by Tauer
Ambre 114 by Histoire de Parfums
But for the SA that you have a rapport with, it seems to have been a dispiriting experience.
One would be:
Wazamba by Parfum d'Empire - Initially, one is treated to a rush of smoky, colophony incense commingling with the Christmas tree aroma of balsam fir. At once, one is immersed in the...
Lumiere Noire pour Homme by Maison Francis Kurkdjian.
Bleecker Street by Bond No. 9 - Upon application, one is treated to a rush of sharp greenness. Violet leaf, with its freshly mowed grass and a hint of cucumber character, commingles rather...
I follow my normal routine - one spray on each side of my neck, just below my earlobes, and one spray on the back of my neck, near my hairline.
Douce Amere by Serge Lutens.
Two would be Tubereuse Criminelle and Douce Amere.
Of the two mentioned, Spiritueuse Double Vanille by Guerlain.
One would be M by Puredistance.
Igor01 and the relevant Oud Social Group have a depth of knowledge that would, indeed, be useful.
Yes, Bleu de Chanel by Chanel is an all-season scent that thrives in spring, summer and fall.
Another to consider is Infusion d'Homme by Prada.
Sycomore by Chanel is a tasteful and refined, all-season fragrance, having average projection and good longevity.
As with any endeavor, one's commitment to same reflects a function of desire, capabilities, time restraints and financial considerations.
As you partake, do so up to the point where you find it...
The fact, that you can smell it on your clothing, rules out olfactory fatigue or neural adaptation.
Noir Patchouli by Histoire de Parfums - Upon application, one is treated to a forceful rush of a patchouli accord. The earthy and herbaceous splendor of patchouli is married with the the...
I think the 2000's continued the fresh scents, but downplaying the ozone notes, and adding fruity and floral aspects. And, unisex and metrosexual fragrances took a firmer grip.
Lys Mediterranee by Frederic Malle
Sel Marin by Heeley
Beyond Paradise for Men by Estee Lauder
Bulgari Aqua pour Homme Marine by Bulgari
L'Eau par Kenzo pour Homme by Kenzo
APOM pour Homme by Maison Francis Kurkdjian.
These ^^^^^^^ sum it up well.
This ^^^^.
And, try:
Zirh Ikon by Zirh - One is initially treated to a zesty lemonade. Tart and tangy lemon interplays with davona flower, with its sweetly fruity aspect, and cardamon, with its...
I am quite sure to what utility your heightened sense of smell can be applied profitably.
Here's a good article about staying awake at work: http://www.wikihow.com/Stay-Awake-at-Work.
As it points out, rosemary, eucalyptus, peppermint, and coffee aromas seem to make one alert.
Here's a more recent Thread that may prove helpful: http://www.basenotes.net/threads/275253-Summer-gourmand
Try Moon Breath by Ayala Moriel.
I agree.
Can't argue with this ^^^^^^.
I agree with Silverfire's appreciation for Sienne L'Hiver by Eau d'Italie; my impressions follow:
Sienne L'Hiver by Eau d'Italie - One is initially treated to a rush of herbal greenness. The...
It appears the end product was a visual art piece.
Interesting nonetheless, thanks.
Allure Homme Sport by Chanel - I dare say it is one of best, overall, summer fragrances, a fantastic journey from its sharp, orange, citrus opening, through its imaginative, peppery, neroli and cedar...
I agree.
Zirh Ikon by Zirh - One is initially treated to a zesty lemonade. Tart and tangy lemon interplays with davona flower, with its sweetly fruity aspect, and cardamon, with its...
Of the three mentioned, Tabacco Vanille by Tom Ford.
These ^^^^^^^ all proffer sound reasoning.
My advice would be trust your OWN nose.
I don't see why not.
Tammy, try Into the Blue by Escada.
I agree.
La Nuit De L'Homme by Yves Saint Laurent is saccharine and teeters on the feminine side.
But, try:
Zirh Ikon by Zirh - One is initially treated to a zesty lemonade. Tart and tangy lemon...
Central Park by Bond No. 9.
1 Million by Paco Rabanne.
It's not a problem once it arrives in the US. If you have no problems shipping the fragrance from Canada, I do not foresee any problem on this end.
I agree, and counsel to buy only the tin/aluminum can ↓↓↓.
Visit for Men by Azzaro - One is initially treated to a wave of spice. An abundant nutmeg, with its soft and sweet, cinnamon-like character, couples with cardamon, with its slightly woody and...
Granville by Christian Dior - One is initially treated to a zesty, citric accord. Tangy lemon and orangey mandarin interplay with pungent, savory thyme. This burst of briskness transitions to...
Burberry Brit for Men by Burberry, because of its superior versatility, projection, and longevity.
Live Jazz by Yves Saint Laurent does have heaps of coriander in the heart.
But, try:
Black Tourmaline by Olivier Durbano - Upon application, one experiences a wonderfully smoky leather accord...
Perhaps, this Thread should be combined with the other, existing Thread in the Off topic Forum...
Quite interesting, indeed.
Neural adaptation, the desensitizing to odors, what I would have termed olfactory fatigue, was illuminating, as well as the theory of scent associations of odors via our...

Alberi shook his head, not in response to Diego but as the infected virus course through his body, attacking his mind. He heard Diego, shot a fierce glance in his direction, and snarled; his eyes were bloodshot and very menacing looking. Suddenly Alberio turned and ran, he ran through the streets without stopping and out the city, breaknig through the army blockade in doing so. Behind him he heard the crack and boom of the nuclear missile firing off, a mushroom cloud rising in the distance.
Alberio was thrown off balance, forcibly slamming into a tree. Slowly he fell unconcsious, the radiation did nothing to him with the newly acquired infection running in his blood.

The masses will descend on Columbia on Wednesday morning to see whether former South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney can whip through agility drills the way he beat SEC pass-blockers for most of his three seasons with the Gamecocks.
Clowney, who prepped for South Carolina's pro day at a south Charlotte training facility, seems confident he'll put on a show for the scouts, coaches, general managers and more than 120 credential media members who will have eyes on him Wednesday at Williams-Brice Stadium.
"I go through bag drills pretty easy, so I'm not even worried about that," Clowney told the Observer last week. "I'm glad I don't have to throw balls."
Gamecocks quarterback Connor Shaw will handle the throwing portion of the pro day, while scouts will track the route-running of South Carolina receiver Bruce Ellington.
But the main attraction – and the reason NFL Network will cover the event live and ESPN will provide live updates – is Clowney.
Clowney, who grew up in Rock Hill and starred at South Pointe High, likely would have been the No. 1 overall pick last year had he been eligible for the draft.
Instead, he struggled through a junior season marred by injuries and inconsistency. Clowney finished with just three sacks after averaging 10.5 his first two seasons.
Clowney said his production slipped because of opponents' schemes – double-team blocks, quick-release passes and running plays designed to go away from him.
But some scouts and opponents – and even South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier – have questioned Clowney's work ethic, a charge Clowney failed to refute when he skipped the on-field drills at the scouting combine in February.
Jed Hartigan, director of Velocity Sports Performance, said he was expecting to find a loafer when Clowney showed up at his facility six weeks ago. That was not the case.
"Everyone talks about how he doesn't work hard. That kid worked his (butt) off," Hartigan said Tuesday. "He might not have worked hard before, but right now he's training really, really hard."
Clowney began working with Hartigan following an up-and-down combine performance that was not unlike Clowney's final season with the Gamecocks.
Clowney, who measured 6-foot-5 and 266 pounds in Indianapolis, blew through the 40-yard dash in 4.53 seconds at the combine. But his 21 reps in the pro bench press (225 pounds) were a bit lackluster for a pass-rushing end who hopes to be the first player drafted.
Clowney indicated he plans to do all the position work Wednesday and could be asked to do linebacker drills by teams eyeing him as a 3-4 outside linebacker. Hartigan would not say whether Clowney planned to do the bench press again, but believes Clowney is going to have a big day.
"I'm excited to see what he does (Wednesday) and his rookie season," Hartigan said. "He's one of the most explosive players I've ever seen, and I've worked with 75 NFL players. He's going to turn some heads."

As gas prices continue to fall, Americans go on vacation more. Recent data shows that this trend has surged over the past few months.
A airfare price war is expected to break out in Dallas, now that the lapse of an old law means Southwest can fly to many more destinations nonstop.
Thanksgiving airfare really didn't rise until 10 days before the holiday in 2013, a travel site found. And it appears that pattern will hold this year, too.
Forty percent of American workers do not use all the vacation days they earn. But you should take all the time given and not have to worry about your job.
Norwegian Cruise Line is sailing into the luxury sector by buying the high-end Prestige Cruises International, adding eight ships to its fleet of 13.
What's driving up the cost of car rentals? Start with the three firms that dominate the industry -- Avis, Hertz and Enterprise -- and their various brands.
Hilton's free smartphone app allows you to choose a specific room ahead of time and check in, just like you select an aisle or window seat on an airline.
These are the places about which everybody says, "You have to go there!" But once you arrive, you'll find yourself wondering why you bothered.
Reward credit cards, loyalty programs, Airbnb and other elements of the sharing economy can help you save big bucks and make that dream trip a reality.

With a $20 bill and this little-known trick, you could get upgraded to a penthouse suite in Vegas.
Discount admissions, daily deals, season passes and strategies for meals and souvenirs will help cut costs at the amusement park.
While you're planning a trip or enjoying some relaxing time away with family or friends, the con artists are hard at work.
Reduce the cost and hassles of your next vacation by skipping the air travel and enjoying a staycation featuring fun and relaxing activities near your home.
For travelers on a budget, vacation now means renting someone's apartment, a spare room, maybe just a couch -- anything to save on the cost of a hotel.
Travel is one of the top goals Americans have for retirement. But travel doesn't have to be expensive. Here are a few ways to travel frugally in retirement.
Is your idea of luxury staying in a castle, flying in a private jet or having a personal chef? There are ways an Average Joe can afford such splurges.
For those who haven't yet decided, or hyper-organized families who are already thinking about next year, we've got some excellent ideas for summer vacation.
For the third year in a row, the national average price for gasoline will be within a penny or two of $3.64 a gallon.
Stayful.com, a website that launched last year promises a chance to try hotels and inns with more local character and to save a few bucks along the way.
By taking advantage of credit card promotions, we'll fly free (or close to it) for two years on Southwest. Here's how you, too, can become a travel hacker.
Only 16 percent of us redeem the reward points we earn each year. Why do we love them? Is there a danger in hoarding them? How should we spend them?
To slim down for summer without spending money on a gym or overpriced diet meals, enlist your smartphone, stock your larder wisely and just get moving.
American and US Airways announce changes to their policies on checked-bag fees and redeeming miles for free flights.
Exotic international destinations, beach vacations and a dash of adventure are in high demand for honeymoons, but there are ways to cut costs and yet retain the excitement.
All over the Midwest and the East Coast, travel agents are being inundated with a simple request: Get me out of here. And those who have left, don't want to come back.
Disney is increasing prices at its four Florida theme parks at a surprising time -- and for the second time in nine months.
You're renting a vehicle, not buying it, but many consumers have likely looked at their bill and wondered if that's really the case.
Disney just rolled out FastPass , with kiosks that let you reserve spots on up to three rides at a time. That's cool. But guess whose always at the head of the FastPass line.
The holidays mean time with family - and away from your portfolio. But stepping away from the market-monitoring apps for a week doesn't have to make you nervous.

Kinks' Ray Davies On Long Relationship With 'Americana'
Rock legend Ray Davies was already facing transitions in his personal and professional life in 2004, when, one week after being named a Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth, he was shot in the leg during a mugging in New Orleans. Davies had come to New Orleans in a search for musical authenticity and a compass for his personal life. Instead, he found himself a violent crime victim and anchored to a bed for weeks.
Davies recovery was arduous, but he survived the ordeal, which sparked a new run of creativity for the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, composer, songwriter, actor, director and writer.
Davies' meditations on his relationship with the U.S. — the country that banned his band, the Kinks, for four years in the 1960s before celebrating it in the decades to follow — make up the bulk of his new memoir, Americana: The Kinks, The Riff, The Road, The Story, out now from Sterling.

Where To Get Replacement Tubing In NorCal
This thread is really great guys -- great work!
I want to start uising a hi-start. I have one that's about 12 year sold - heven't used it in a LONG time. The surgical tubing is brittle and it needs to be completely replaced.
Do you guys know of a place in Northern California that sells the kind of tubing used on hi-starts?
I'm wondering if it's cheaper to replace the tubing, or just buy a new hi-start.
Thanks again for this great thread.
Happy Flying ;-)

Glad you like our little discussion here.
Whether it is better to replace the tubing or the whole thing is up to you. If the line is good, the parachute good, the rings good, the reel good and the spikes good, then all you need is the tubing. on the other hand the difference in price for a complete unit vs just tubing may not be that much.
For example, the Dynaflight HD at Tower is $60. The tubing alone is $50. For $10 you get the spool, ($5) parachute ($12) rings ($3), line ($3) and a spike. - might as well get the whole kit and use the old stuff to make a shorter up-stat for practice.
What kind of plane are you launching and what size and strength was your old hi-start. Were you happy with it.
Maybe we can point you to a good source. The interenet places ship pretty quickly.
My upstart is made with 25 feet of REAL surgical tubing that I bought on e-bay for about $12 I think.
Tell us how we can help you.
|Feb 07, 2004, 07:50 AM
http://www.aerofoam.com/hosemonster.html is the only place to buy histarts, imho.
Buy cheap, buy twice.
In this case it is not that much more expensive to get the really good stuff. $55 plus shipping for 100 feet of the best histart rubber there is. $110 including shipping for a complete 100' histart, including nylon line, a nice parachute, proper connecting rings etc.
Unfortunately Mark in is Washington State, so not local. There are two ways to do it locally. 1) go to your local hobby shop and pick up a histart - usually $60 - $70 complete. 2) Go to your local medical supply shop and purchase surgical tubing. I would bet that in Northern CA with any consistent use (e.g. every weekend) it would only last a year or so due to UV exposure.
I like my Hobby Lobby Hi-start, but next time I am definitely going for an Aerofoam Hosemonster. I have been flying off of one and the rubber is *so* much more stretchy, and feels just as powerful but somehow softer.

Joining Hi-Start peice after a break
Then the inevitable happens. And now you have two fine peices of latex rubber tubing. What's the best way to join them back together? Welded steel rings? Key rings? Just knot them together?
Best wishes.
|Feb 12, 2004, 10:55 PM
Best way I have found is to find a piece of dowel that is just over the inside dimension of the histart. First put some Household goop on the dowel, then shove the dowel inside each end of the two pieces. Once dry this should be enough to keep the histart together. For extra safety you can wrap dental floss, spectra fishing line or other strong string around the joint.

|Feb 15, 2004, 08:25 PM
Incidentally, if you have a nice histart w/ UV protection in it (Hobby Lobby, Aerofoam) then the potential weak link is the elastic band - it degrades rather quickly in sunlight. I need to replace mine after two years of activity.

To protect the rubberband wrap from UV you can coat over the wrap with black RTV rubber. There are two kinds of liquid RTV rubber, silicone and sulfide. The sulfide RTV rubber used as a boat caulk and between deck boards is best. It is available in marine supply stores.
|Feb 16, 2004, 10:14 AM
But, I prefer to strip bike blades in bands similar about the size of #64 elastic bands. With this straps I don't have to worry about UV.

I don't mean to be dense, it's a gift really , but anyone have a picture of said joint? So to recap:
We take a dowel that has to be shoved firmly into the center of the surgical rubber, goop it, then join the two broken pieces. Break a few #64 rubber bands, and wrap those tightly around the joined pieces? Then liberally coat the tightly wound #64 rubber bands with boat deck RTV (good ol Home Dee Pot RTV is NG)?
How about just using a few larger tie wraps instead of the #64 rubber bands??

The reason that nonelastic bands like hose clamps and tiewraps aren't as good is that when the tubing stretches the wall thickness decreases over the dowel and the clamps loose tightness. However, when the tubing OD shrinks under stretch, the rubberbands comply and continue to provide enough clamping pressure.

If you use dowels that fit tight, get 2-3 inches or more of dowel into each piece of elastic, the goop and rubberbands are just extra insurance. as you apply the tension to the line, the tubing will stretch and tighten around the dowel.
One thing that will help is to cut small rings around the dowel so the tubing as somethign to grab onto. You dont' want to use the type of dowel that is fluted the long way. That will reduce the contact area. Small rings scratched in with a knife will work great. They don't have to be deep, you are just creating some small grab areas. The rubber will squeeze into those rings and grab tight.

I have 2 breaks in my tubing, and I repair with a simple reef (not granny) knot, using soap & water as a lube (important); once dry, it seems to be fine. My repairs have never failed, am I just lucky?

ElectromyographyElectromyography is a test that measures muscle response to nervous stimulation. A needle electrode is inserted through the skin into the muscle. Each muscle fiber that contracts will produce an action potential. The presence, size, and shape of the wave form of the action potential produced on the oscilloscope, provides information about the ability of the muscle to respond to nervous stimulation.
