OptionsHouse Review
IMPORTANT NOTICE: As of January 21, 2015 trade commissions are now $4.95 flat fee stock trades and options trades are $0.50 per contract + $4.95 base fee.
OptionsHouse is a discount broker backed by Peak6 investments, one of the largest options-trading firms in the U.S. OptionsHouse makes its mark in the discount trading space by providing clients with multiple options trading tools and competitive commission rates for options traders.
The OptionsHouse 2.0 platform is the broker's key to client success because it makes trading straight-forward. Like most discount brokers, OptionsHouse only utilizes a web-based platform and does not offer a desktop counterpart, typically reserved for the most demanding of traders.
Commissions & Fees
Cheap and no-gimmick trading is a vital part of the OptionsHouse experience, and they deliver with flying colors. All stock trades are $4.75, and orders only will be charged differently if they are OTCBB, less than $2 per share, or if the order is more than 50,000 shares in total size.
As far as options trading goes, two commission plans are available. The first is designed for less frequent traders, with single-leg options costing $5 for up to five contracts, with any additional contracts costing $1 each. Active options traders will prefer the second plan, which is $8.50, plus $.15 per contract for single- leg orders. And for spread trades, clients also have two options: up to 10 contracts for $10 ($1 for each contract thereafter) or $12.50 plus $.15 per contract. Plans can be changed on a daily basis through the platform.
For those that favor mutual funds over stocks and options, take note. While OptionsHouse supports more than 11,000 mutual funds, only around 3,000 of them can be traded via the platform. Even with a low $9.99 fee per mutual fund trade, I found this to be an inconvenience.
Out of the primary areas for grading a broker, research is where OptionsHouse fares worst. The broker offers no research whatsoever for mutual funds or ETFs, and lacks any third- party reports.
Pulling up a quote of any stock will bring up a basic page of information, including a stock chart, news, a quick bio about the company, events calendar, and a summary of analyst opinions, among other notes. On the whole, everything is very basic, and the analysis even lacks free financial research that hubs such as Yahoo Finance offer.
On the positive side, I was impressed by the technical analysis pages provided for each stock. Short-term trends, long-term trends, options statistics, stops, trading signals, and a summary of bullish, bearish, and non-directional events can all be viewed. Clicking the trading strategies sub tab also gives you an overview of close to a dozen strategies, including explanations, which was both educational and useful for considering potential trade ideas.
This one positive was as far as it went, however. For investors who desire quality research of stocks, ETFs, and mutual funds, your portfolio is best kept elsewhere.
Platforms & Tools
OptionsHouse uses a completely browser-based platform. The most current version, OptionsHouse 2.0, is a significant improvement over its predecessor.
The highlight feature of the platform is the all-in-one order ticket, which is always ready to go via a button in the footer. What makes the order ticket so unique is that placing both stocks and options trades is done via legs. During the first run-through I was slightly confused, but after a few trades, I got the hang of it and quickly became a fan.
The tools offered through OptionsHouse 2.0 are primarily options-focused, which is expected considering the influence of Peak6. Options tools include Spread Investigator, Trade Generator, Risk Viewer, PNL Calculator, Probability Calculator, and Volatility Charts. What's nice is that these tools appeal to all different skill levels.
The Trade Generator, for example, is great because of its simple functionality, the variety of trade possibilities generated with each run (a search for bullish Apple strategies yielded covered calls, credit put spreads, debit call spreads, long calls, and short puts), and the ability to quickly place trades with pre-populated ticket links.
While OptionsHouse offers a wide selection of option tools, this is also an Achilles heel for the user experience. For example, both the PNL Calculator alongside the Probability Calculator tools are third-party provided by IVolatility. Because of this, conducting analysis on theoretical positions is tedious and hardly a seamless experience for the client to research then trade.
Of the stock trade tools offered by OptionsHouse 2.0, I found the streaming charts that were updated in 2013 to be a big improvement over the previous version. On pros side, they get the job done because investors can easily stream whichever stocks they'd like in real-time and adjust basic settings. On the cons side, advanced traders will be unimpressed with the lack of markup tools, limited depth of advanced studies available, and sluggish speed when panning.
Final Thoughts
OptionsHouse is one of those brokers that is great for investors who know what they want, and more importantly know how to maximize the best of what is offered while shrugging off the negatives.
After thorough testing of OptionsHouse, I feel the broker is great for options and discount trading, and with time should only become a better all-around broker. This is especially true if it can put some emphasis on keeping its option tools relevant and continuously improving the client experience.

Tribulus terrestris is a flowering plant that grows in many tropical and moderate areas of the world. It's been used for thousands of years by many different cultures to treat a variety of ailments.
The Greeks used tribulus as a diuretic and mood-enhancer. The Chinese used it for liver, kidney and cardiovascular diseases. Bulgarians used tribulus as a sex-enhancer and as a treatment for infertility.
As a muscle building supplement, tribulus terrestris is recognized as a testosterone booster.
Testosterone is the most important anabolic muscle building hormone in the body and is one of the limiting factors that determines how much muscle a person can gain.
Steroid users inject synthetic variants of testosterone into their bodies in order to reap the benefits that this "holy grail" of muscle growth provides.
Tribulus does not directly raise testosterone levels, but instead supposedly works by raising the body's levels of a substance called LH (luteinizing hormone).
LH is a hormone secreted from the pituitary gland and stimulates the interstitial cells in the testes to produce testosterone.
So essentially, LH sets the production of testosterone into motion, and this would seem to have positive implications for muscle growth and workout performance.
Increases in testosterone would equate to increased muscle size, strength and recovery ability just to name a few.
So, what does the actual research say? Does tribulus work?
Tribulus Review
The fact is simple...
At this point there has yet to be a single reliable, modern study that shows a positive relationship between tribulus terrestris use and increased muscle size, strength or fat loss.
Studies that have supposedly shown this were either conducted in the Easter Bloc many years back or have never been peer-reviewed in a Western medical journal.
In fact, a few studies do exist that have shown tribulus to have no positive effects on lean body mass or performance.
A study back in 2000 using 15 subjects (using 3.21mg of tribulus terrestris per kg of body weight daily) measured body weight, body composition and strength over 8 weeks of weight training and tribulus supplementation. The study concluded:
"Supplementation with tribulus does not enhance body composition or exercise performance in resistance-trained males"
Another study using as much as 20mg of tribulus per kg of body weight daily showed no increase in serum androgen production.
So if you're asking "does tribulus work?" the answer at this point is probably not.
The important thing to keep in mind with any herb that claims to boost testosterone levels is that boosting testosterone levels on its own is not enough.
Not only do you have to increase testosterone levels, but it also has to be to a high enough level to positively affect muscle size and strength gains.
This requires upwards of several hundred to 1000+% increases in testosterone!
So, to say that a substance "boosts testosterone levels" really doesn't mean anything in and of itself.
It's kind of like saying that going grocery shopping increases your chances of being killed by a runaway shopping cart... it's true, but the 0.0001% increase has no practical relevance in the real world.
Even if tribulus terrestris does increase testosterone levels (which it has never been shown to do) it's almost certain that it is not to a high enough level to benefit bodybuilders.
The only area where tribulus may have benefit is as a libido enhancer. If you're in an older age category and are looking for a boost in the bedroom, tribulus terrestris supplementation might be worth a shot.
Other than that, leave the tribulus on the shelf.

Top 5 Alley Oop Combos of All-Time
"We was the original Lob City."
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: With the induction of Gary Payton into the Hall-of-Fame, we remember the original Lob City combo.
"We was the original Lob City."
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: With the induction of Gary Payton into the Hall-of-Fame, we remember the original Lob City combo.
Kevin Durant may be tall and lengthy, but the dude still has ridiculous handles.
Hoopsvibe's quick call: Vince Carter probably needed to ice his ankles this weekend after Kevin Durant broke them.
Read More
What images leap to your mind when you hear the phrase, "Greatest dunk contest ever?"
HoopsVibe Very Quick Call: There have certainly been some epic match-ups that made this even the centerpiece of the NBA's All-Star Weekend.
Read More
One source close to the situation told ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher that the Magic have promised Howard that they will add a quality player before Thursday's deadline and that Howard can decide the fate of both GM Otis Smith and coach Stan Van Gundy at the end of the season if he signs an extension.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: There's a popular television show called Intervention where families confront a sick individual battling an addiction.
Perhaps you have seen it on A&E. Perhaps not.
Hopefully, someone in the Orlando Magic ownership group has seen Intervention. And hopefully, they confront President Alex Martin about his disease: appeasing Dwight Howard.
Sure, Howard is the top center in the NBA, but he has yet to win a championship, an MVP trophy, or even develop a go-to move on the offensive end.
He is raw, immature, and has handled his pending free agency like a teen pop diva. Annoying teen crooner Justin Beiber is more professional than Howard.
Still, the Magic continue to give Howard whatever he likes, or whatever they think he'll like in order to have him stay.
They've assumed several bad contracts in an attempt to give Howard a worthy supporting cast. Gilbert Arenas, Vince Carter, Rashard Lewis, and Hedo Turkoglu all backfired and destroyed the team's financial flexibility.
Recent reports have surfaced that the Magic are chasing Monta Ellis because they think a shot-happy, crass combo guard will convince Howard to play through 2013 and sign a long-term extension.
HoopsVibe has given our opinion on Ellis before. He's not the answer.
Today, reports are surfacing that Magic President Alex Martin has told Howard he can decide the fate of coach Stan Van Gundy and GM Otis Smith.
Sadly, the inmate is now running the entire asylum.
Van Gundy and Smith may deserve to be fired. This is not Howard's decision to make, though. He is the player. Van Gundy is the coach. Smith is the manager.
If Martin offered to fire Van Gundy and Smith to appease Howard, then a point of no return has been established.
Simply put, Howard can't return. Suppose he signed an extension with the Magic. No coach, executive, or teammate would criticize him because doing so may get them fired, traded, or released.
Bottom line: good organizations do not operate in such a fashion.
So Magic ownership must intervene. They must empower Smith to immediately get the best possible package for Howard - even if that's 80 or 90 cents on the dollar - because keeping him would encourage dysfunction.
Then ownership must review how the entire organization, top to bottom, has handled 'Howard-gate' and make changes. Appeasing an NBA superstar is a disease that must be cured.

HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: Say what?
I thought Vince Carter only faded-away and settled for jumpers.
I thought Vince Carter stopped attacking the hoop during his time in New Jersey.
I thought Vince Carter had decided to cruise through his career and not provide highlights.
Well, the former bright light of the NBA, Slam Dunk Champion, and perennial All-Star teased us with a facial on the New Orleans Hornets' Emeka Okafor that was reminiscent of 1999. Click the video and watch the 'VC' flashback.

The Dallas Mavericks are about to sign a player they've long coveted, reaching terms Saturday on a one-year contract with free-agent forward Yi Jianlian, according to sources with knowledge of the deal.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: I like Yi. I, however, don't like him on the Dallas Mavericks.
The four-man is tall, skilled, and talented, which means he could be a rotation player for most teams.
But the Mavericks are different than most. The world champions do not need another skilled guy like Yi, as they recently added Vince Carter and Lamar Odom.
Here's what they do need: a grimy, blue-collar big to fill part of the void created by Tyson Chandler's departure to the New York Knicks.
Chandler brought an intensity, especially on the defensive end, that took the Mavericks from good to great. He was a one-man zone that solidified the back-end for Coach Rick Carlisle.
That's gone. And since they haven't replaced Chandler, so are the Mavericks' chances of repeating.
Got thoughts? Well, get at HoopsVibe News in the comment box below.
"We look old and slow and out of shape — a bad combination," said Dirk Nowitzki, who scored 20 points and sat out the entire fourth quarter for a second straight game, yet another indication of how bad things are going. "I still think this team has a lot of potential. But we have to turn the corner."
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: Dirk Nowitzki is right. The Dallas Mavericks are old, slow, and out of shape.
This, however, is not their greatest problem. Their greatest problem is a lack of enthusiasm.
Tyson Chandler, for all his limits on the offensive end, is a terrific defensive player, who anchored and dominated the paint for Rick Carlisle's squad. J.J. Barea was a spunky scorer, who changed the energy, flow, and feel of every game he played in.
Both were key to the Mavericks winning the NBA Title. And both are gone.
Chandler inked a four year, $58 million pact with the New York Knicks, while Barea accepted the Minnesota Timberwolves multi-year pact for $19 million.
Their replacements: Vince Carter and Lamar Odom.
Carter and Odom are talented, but don't bring the second effort or consistency that Chandler and Barea did.
For instance, Carter once admitted in an interview that he didn't always give his all for the Toronto Raptors. Odom seems more interested in his career as a reality TV star than playing basketball.
So getting younger, faster, and in shape is only part of the solution for Dallas. They need true replacements for Chandler and Barea.

Carter waived Friday by Phoenix so Suns could buy out his $18 mil salary for $4 mil. Mavs quickly into advanced talks w/VC for vet depth.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: I don't like it.
With the signing of Vince Carter and departure of Tyson Chandler, the world champion Dallas Mavericks have become a softer, perimeter team.
Carter, of course, has underachieved. Too often, he shies away from contact, refuses to do the all-important little things, and settles for low percentage shots.
The Mavericks provide an opportunity for the former All-Star to salvage his career -or what is left of it.
Will he grab the opportunity, though?
Give Chandler his due. Sure, his career had been mixed, but the seven-foot giant gave the Mavericks an inside, defensive presence that was key in winning a championship.
That element, however, is gone. Chandler is a Knick; Carter is on the verge of becoming a Maverick. And the world champions have taken a step back in the Western Conference.
Got thoughts? Well, get at HoopsVibe News in the comment box below.
The Phoenix Suns will move forward without Vince Carter on their roster. Carter's full $18 million salary for this season would have been guaranteed if not released within 72 hours of the official start of free agency.
"I think that the Bulls should be very busy, they should look at Rip Hamilton who may be released from Detroit," Gill said. "Vince Carter is an older player, but still has a lot left in the tank. The Bulls need an upgrade at 2-guard, which Vince Carter can fill."
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: Memo to the Chicago Bulls. Don't sign Vince Carter -even if he's available at a low wage.
Yes, the Chicago Bulls need a scorer to take pressure off 2011 MVP Derrick Rose, however, Carter is not the answer.
The former Slam Dunk Champ' and All-Star is no longer Half-Man, Half Amazing. The days of Kenny Smith screaming 'it's ova' have passed.
Remember, Carter flopped with Orlando, and lost his starting job to the solid-but-hardly spectacular Jared Dudely in Phoenix.
So, what could Carter offer Chicago?
Well, not much. The once athletic swing is too much of a perimeter player, often refusing to attack the basket and settling for low percentage fade-aways.
The Bulls would be better off pouncing on Rip Hamilton once he's waived by the Detroit Pistons as part of the amnesty provision in the new Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Hamilton, provided he's happy, can score and is an upgrade over Carter on defense.

The readers have spoken! Of all the comments and emails I received the following four names kept coming up, repeatedly. And can anyone say that any of these dunkers are really a surprise?

Read the first part of this article here. In ranking these champions, I want to completely exclude their overall skill as basketball players, and focus solely on their ability to dunk the basketball. Also, I think era in which they were dunking in is very significant, as is height. With those parameters laid out, let me throw the second five names at you, in no particular order. Of these five, I will rank them by reader comments via Hoopsvibe.com, Facebook and private emails. The player who gets the most vote moves into the "Final Four" of great dunkers, from which a mythical champ will be crowned; open wide, here they come!!

I'm laughing at the notion. Actually, everyone should be laughing because when the hell was Tracy McGrady ever underrated? We're not talking about Mark Aguirre underrated here. Aguirre never made all NBA First teams and never averaged 32.1 points per game for a season. McGrady retired two years ago and the T-Mac today is nothing but a rusty old aging robot for the Detroit Pistons. I'm trying to give the idea a thought – was McGrady underrated at any point in his career?
Read MoreI just watched a Youtube clip featuring Vince Carter slipping on a banana peel against the Charlotte Bobcats during a cross over move. I do not know what to make of it. He could have stepped on a wet spot. Yep, that's what it was; a wet spot. Got it. I'm also taking it as a sign to think about his career. The high flying explosive Vince Carter disappeared after 2008 and currently does not live here.
Read MoreAs a veteran, Nash said an NBA championship ring was still a strong lure for him, but he said he would not change teams to achieve that goal.
"Every player wants the ring. We were very close to it many times. Changing teams may be a way. But I don't think I will join another team; I prefer to stay in Phoenix. Hopefully, we can go further next season," said Nash.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: Steve, hope is not a strategy for you or your Phoenix Suns.
While visiting China on behalf of his sponsors, Nash told the assembled media his preference was to close his eyes, cross his fingers, and 'hope' his Phoenix Suns achieve better results.
Lets be clear: what else can Nash do?
He's too classy to publicly call out Robert Sarver, the Suns' thrifty owner who refuses to spend on the necessary talent to contend, let alone win a championship.
He's too classy to publicly call out GM Lon Babby, who first acquired Hedo Turkoglu and then sent the Turkish swing to Orlando for another underachiever in Vince Carter.
And he's too classy to publicly call out his teammates, who seem a little too interested in taking shots at each other via the media.
Right now, Nash can only grin and bear the Suns. Of course, he can hope. Sadly, this is what the future Hall of Fame point guard has been reduced to.
--Oly Sandor.
Got thoughts? Well, get at HoopsVibe News in the comment box below.
Vince Carter may realize that his time in Phoenix is pretty much up – how short it was – but he still wants to play ball. Not overseas.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: It's no slam dunk that the former Slam Dunk Champion can average 12-15 points per night for a contender.
Right now, Vince Carter is an unrestricted free agent. Some feel 'Half-Man, Half-Amazing' can re-invent himself as a second-unit, game-changer for a contender.
I'm not so sure, though.
On a contender, everybody defends. No exceptions. Any contender would have reservations about adding a one-way scorer, like Carter, who resembles a statue in his own end.
Those who don't defend on contenders –again, like Carter – find themselves on the bench. They stay on that bench for the season. They only play in a blowout or a pinch.
If Carter can't get on the floor for meaningful minutes, how can he average 12-15 points per night for a contender?
Let's suppose, for a minute, Carter gets a chance to prove his worth at training camp. He struggled to score with the up-and-down Phoenix Suns, even though defense was optional and Steve Nash, the league's great playmaker, was setting-the-table.
With a contender, he won't be a first, second, or third option. And Carter, in recent years, has stopped attacking the hoop, settling for fall-away shots, weak drives, and long-range jumpers.
The coaching staffs of contending teams know this. Or they'll quickly discover this. So do the league's best players. They'll all tire of him quickly.
For Carter, it may be a one year deal for the minimum with a small market or nothing. Yes, nothing. The NBA's great enigma will continue fading to black.
--Oly Sandor.

Howard found out when the rest of us did: once the trades were completed. Turns out, Howard had a problem with that.
"I wanted to be more part of the process a little more," Howard said in a radio interview with 790 The Zone in Atlanta. "I had to step out on the court and I wanted to make sure that the people I played with wanted to go out and play hard every night. My only issue was the fact that I didn't really have a chance to be involved, but I think with the guys that we brought in we still have an excellent chance of winning, but we all have to be on the same page."
I've talked to people who believe that Chicago will shop Boozer, but you have to keep in mind that his stock is at an all-time low right now. He disappeared in the playoffs and there's a reason Chicago is talking about moving less than a year after signing him. It'll be tough to move him for anything of substance, especially considering how much he's owed over the next four years. With that said, if he does become available, the Orlando Magic will certainly express some level of interest.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: Carlos Boozer wouldn't convince Dwight Howard to forgo free agency and sign a long-term extension with the Orlando Magic.
So the Magic should think carefully about trading for Boozer, and assuming the remaining 4-years and $65 million on his big-ticket contract.
Boozer would be the latest in expensive, overpaid players who couldn't help superstar Dwight Howard achieve his goal of an NBA championship.
There was Rashard Lewis and Vince Carter. This duo were then swapped mid-season for Gilbert Arenas and Hedo Turkoglu in separate trades. All four failed miserably.
A frustrated Howard is now angling for a trade. If he doesn't get it, the five-man will likely leave Orlando as a free agent in two seasons.
Howard would see Boozer for what he is -a talented but injury-prone player, who the Chicago Bulls dumped one season after signing him as a free agent.
It doesn't matter that Howard and Boozer are close, often hanging out together in the summer. Basketball is business. Friendship is personal.
Magic Executive Otis Smith should instead focus on Chris Paul. The New Orleans point guard, who can also become a free agent in July of 2012, is the type of talent that could convince Howard to stay.
Paul and Howard would form a terrific inside-outside duo. They'd attract other free agents, co-stars, and role players. They'd compete for years to come.
Almost every other player, including Boozer, won't be enough for Howard to recommit to Orlando.
--Oly Sandor.

Tough to hear, but it is time. The stars, for anyone 26 years or older, drafted from the 1990s are fading away. Let's use the present to say our goodbyes. Father time usually corresponds with age and decline in play. This is it. We have been following these guys since middle school. Some of you guys must have been following them since elementary days. Do not feel old. Age is merely a number. Longevity in anything is actually a state of mind, but not in sports. For anyone living under a rock, Macho Man just died. With that said, let's appreciate these players while they are still alive.

This week's new DVD releases go from a comedy about the end of the world to a classic animated tale from under the sea.
"This Is the End": Hollywood celebrities try to survive the end of the world. Seth Rogen stars.
There's every reason in the world to hate "This Is the End," which makes an unapologetic assault on everything from religious beliefs to sexuality with humor that's pitch black in tone. And it takes gross-out material so far beyond conventional social limits that it makes "The Hangover" look like a Nickelodeon movie. It lewdly kicks what's acceptable right in the political correctness.
What makes this movie work is the take-no-prisoners script by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. No one's career or public persona is safe from comic attack. Rogen even talks about his past film failures, particularly "The Green Hornet." You will never be able to think of Emma Watson or Michael Cera the same way after what he's put them through in this film.
"The Croods": If this is an example of what's supposed to be prehistoric comedy, then the genre should be allowed to become extinct.
There's the potential for humor, but it never develops beyond a few sight gags that will entertain the preschool crowd. The movie follows a family of cave dwellers — the Croods — who only venture out long enough to search for food. They are afraid of anything new, the dark, and, apparently, any joke that doesn't have to do with one of them falling down.
The only member of their group with an adventurous heart is Eep (voiced by Emma Stone), but she would have to defy her protective father, Grug (Nicolas Cage), if she wants to see the world. "The Croods" would have worked if the humor and animation had been more evolved.
"The Little Mermaid": The animated tale of a mermaid who longs to leave the water is being released for the first time on Blu-ray. The film is a magical mix of engaging story, wonderful characters and a soundtrack that features some of the best tunes in the history of Disney animation.
Also available this week:
"Glee: The Complete Fourth Season": It's a season of big changes as Rachel and Kurt move to New York.
"Beauty & The Beast — The First Season": Kristin Kreuk and Jay Ryan star in the CW series.
"Jack Irish: Set 1": A private investigator (Guy Pearce) realizes he can't outrun or out-drink his past.
"China Beach: The Complete Season One": Dana Delany stars in this TV drama set during the Vietnam War.
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Ultimate Showdown": The Turtles face new and old enemies.
"Agatha Christie's Poirot, Series 7 & 8": David Suchet stars as Agatha Christie's mustachioed mystery-solver.
"Doctor Who: The Doctors Revisited: Fifth-Eighth": Features Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann as The Doctor.
"Nikita: The Complete Third Season": Maggie Q stars in the CW action series.
"North America": Discovery Channel natural history series narrated by Tom Selleck.
"From Here to Eternity": The Oscar-winning film is available on Blu-ray.
"Morning": Married couple tries to deal with the tragic death of their only child.
"The Wizard of Oz": Remastered version of the film is being released to mark the 75th anniversary.

Let That Child Loose
by jenlovallo
Some people stick. I've tried to explain this countless times in my life with more detail, more eloquence, and it never really works. I always come back to the same thing. Some people just stick. It's a face, a feeling, a moment you can't quite describe–it leaves a lasting impact on your life. There's no rhyme or reason to who makes the cut…or maybe there is something to it. Maybe it's divine intervention, maybe it's a series of mile markers/hearts/lives that determine the direction we drive our destiny (and yes, I realize that's a paradoxical statement….one with which I eternally wrestle). Whatever it is, I haven't figured it out yet, and I don't know that I would want to if I could. The individuals that have most influenced my life aren't those I would have predicted or planned upon; I'd safely venture to say the majority are people I'll probably never see again.
Two weeks ago today, I encountered two of those people. I first learned of them two months prior with a sneak screening of Revolutionary Optimists at the Shot@Life Summit in DC. Two kids, in their barely double-digit years of life, decided to do something. They decided to change their world. They identified the importance of polio prevention, clean water, and girls' rights, and they did something about it. They put themselves on the map (both figuratively and technically). These aren't small-scale feats. These kids didn't mess around. They wanted better lives and a better community, so they set it in motion. They drew a map. They went to Parliament. They walked through the streets of their slum with megaphones shouting about polio vaccines.
Now, they're thirteen and fourteen, and they've changed their world. I'm inspired and awestruck. I have total kid crushes. I'm tempted to call them junior change agents, but they're far from it. They're the real deal–the ones that any and all of us still aspiring, should seek to embrace and embody. The week of the NYC premiere, UNICEF hosted an intimate screening and panel discussion with the filmmakers and the inspirations, Salim and Shika, along with their group leader, Amlan, of Prayasam. I jumped at the opportunity. I accepted the invite, put on my Shot@Life shoes, and headed into the city for the night.
That night, Salim became one of those people. He stuck. Amidst the audience, someone posed a question. People always say you have to see the opportunities past the obstacles to make a difference. I'm sure you've faced your share of obstacles along the way. What did you do when people told you no?
Salim sat there for a moment processing the translation. His face lit up as he started giggling. In the amplified decibel of his still-learning English voice, he simply said, Well…I didn't listen.
It was that simple. I didn't listen. The room erupted in laughter and clapping. I took those words as truth. That moment, that sparkly-eyed boy that seemingly can only speak in a shout, he stuck in my heart. He didn't hear no. Maybe he heard it, but he refused to accept it. I'm determined to be more like Salim. My thirteen-year-old role model's the real deal. There's a child that can change the world in all of us–it's our job to let that child loose.

text: The The King of Rally wiki last edited by Mento on 12/17/13 05:19PM View full history OverviewThe King of Rally, or The King of Rally: Paris - Moscow - Beijing, is a cross-continental rally racing game for the Super Famicom. The perspective is at a slight overhead angle, making full use of the Super Nintendo's Mode 7.GameplayTo drive, the player must hold a button to switch gears and change the direction of their vehicle by pressing left and right on the D-pad. Each course is a twisting path of roads that leads to the next stage of the race, and the terrain slowly changes as the player passes from grey cities to green grasslands to wintry forests. The player can also select their vehicle's components and choose from one of four navigators.

Ready Check: The loss of itemization in Cataclysm {WoW}
Feb 17th 2012 8:57PM *Re-fills Plainswander's water bottle with single malt scotch*
Now get back on the wheel! Momma needs a monkey with a fez!
I had to take a two month break from wow to not want to stab something, I'm still not all the way there. Having to farm trolls for shoulders and helms was a biiiiig part of that. Not having a way to get my alts decently geared (kiss my adorable ass everything in zul'aman!) made lia a cranky boomkin.
I'm not a big fan of reforging for the simple fact it leaves those dangly half stats there. Just let us fully reforge the things and have done, having that 37 extra whatever dangling off my bracers is maddening. Either it's useless or it's blocking a better stat from being reforged on. (my enh shaman is the worst with this. *Fumes*)
All the World's a Stage: Plot points for night elf roleplayers {WoW}
Jul 10th 2011 9:40PM Darnassus is less then two decades old, it wasn't created until after Malfurian blew up Archimonde at Hyjal. The elves were basically living from Stonetalon Mountains to the the shores of northern Kalimdoor with outposts in Feralas, mostly due to the Druid Gate there.
Third war hits, and suddenly, they lose the middle of their lands. Whatever felwood was once called, is demon tainted, and hyjal is a scorched wreck. They move to basically the western shore, leaving winterspring, and azhara with skeleton crews.
But the Cata expack has given the elves a LOT, even with taking some things away. Their best General is back, Malfurian is awake, the Ancients, after thousands of years, are awake, and ready for a fight. After being on teh backstep since Wow launched, the Elves are quite possibly the most stable element of the Alliance, taking over the dwarves' spot since the three hammer council hit them.
All the World's a Stage: Tauren and timelines in roleplay {WoW}
Jun 7th 2011 11:05AM For the same reason that Taruen go after the Dwarves digging about in the Barrens and Mulgore. Ashenvale is a sacred place to the elves. Those trees are older then the Orc's entire civilization. They're older then HUMAN Civilization. You want lumber, go to Stonetalon, or Duskwallow. You don't cut down the equivalent of a Sentient Redwood tree to build a bloody cart, or an axe handle.
To get an equivalent attitude, imagine that the dwarves aren't just digging for titan artifacts, but they're using the bones of you family members as shovels and picks to do it. *That's* Why the elves are so pissed off. That's why they want the orcs out of ashenvale so badly.
All the World's a Stage: Tauren and timelines in roleplay {WoW}
Jun 6th 2011 10:09AM @Groth : It's called the Mountainfoot *Strip* Mine. They're terra-forming the entire bay into a horde symbol. There is nothing about Azshara that a Taruen would enjoy. If you want to go the "not evil effing bastards" route, you're basically stuck in the barrens til 20, then working through Ashenvale until your disgusted enough to go down to Stonetalon.. Where you get to blow up your own people. At least after that you can head down to Stranglethorn and do something that's not putting babies on spikes, and you're basically just fighting humans after that until you hit the dark portal. "Willful stupidity" seems to the be the only way for a not-bloodthristy Horde to get to 25. Barring fishing and herbing it out.

Aug 26th 2010 8:05PM A- the Draenei Crashed into Draenor. They couldn't run anymore. If the demons found them again, they knew it was going to be a slaughter to the last man, woman and child. they simply decieded to say "Screw it" and make the best of the world they had. If they were found, they were dead, so why even bother making last ditch plans?
B- Be that as it may, if Nerzul wasn't already power hungry and full of his own ego, he would have *AT LEAST* gone to Oshugun to confirm what he dreamed. where the Naaru who was caring for the souls of the orcs would have told him the damned thing was a set up. Oh yeah, forgot about that one right? Without the Naaru, the Orcs would not be able to speak with their ancestors at all. Orcs on Azeroth are still unable to speak with their dead. The shaman that led the Orcs would have no guidance anymore, and they'd go back to the dark times before the shaman were able to talk to their dead ones.
C- And? You really think the "I was insane at the time" Is an actual defense for kicking drae babies down stairs and gutting women with an axe wider then they are? they were doing that BEFORE they swigged Demon blood. They blindly followed a shaman into attacking a peaceful people who had never lifted a finger to harm them. and they did it with GLEE. Before Grom chugged down the blood. Read rise of the horde. And considering how well off the orcs are now in azeroth, better then they EVER were on draenor, I doubt many of them give a damn about how they were used by a demon.
Know Your Lore: Grommash Hellscream, Page 2 {WoW}
Aug 26th 2010 1:11PM You know... I know I'm going to kick the bees nest here... But Grom didn't INTEND to save anyone when he killed Mannaroth. Well, he intended to save Thrall sure. But this "He saved the orcs from demonic slavery" Thing is always treated as some sort of conscious choice by Grom, as if he went in there thinking "I need to atone for my slaughter of four human battalions against my war-chiefs orders, nearly compromising our only chance to see Mediv, yadda yadda yadda."
He went in there to free HIMSELF.
That he managed to break the bonds of every other orc never even entered his head. His last words are some of the most selfish, ego-riddled, and boastful I've heard in a long, long time.
Grom *IS* the reason that the alliance and the horde will never find peace. Grom is the poster child for Greymane's demanding that every orc should have been put to the sword at the end of the Second war, instead of fenced in camps they could easily escape from once they got over their doldrums. He is everything an orc should aspire to never become, and his befriending Thrall and teaching him about his people will never make up for the damage Grom has committed against the orcs for his own pride and blood lust.

Aug 22nd 2010 3:06PM No. No. A thousand times NO.
There is a REASON that FF11 has been kicked in the man bits, and it wasn't just the god awful gold inflation. Deaths resulting in EXP lose KILLS any sort of pugging. We called them "Statics" and no MMO should ever let the word Static be anything less then a foul and horrible thing to happen.
Making crafting more interesting? Sure, it works, until you start adding in the critical fails. Could you imagine what would have happened if someone Crit Failed a Hand of Rag creation? and the sheer utter tedium of crafting such monsterous thigns would probably make you go insane. Yes, I want to go back to FARMING GRASS TO MAKE THREAD. Or, better yet, waking up at 3 am to farm the rare "Dawning kodo" for his hooves...
Player created cites would also be nice, until some jerk ass morons created Swastika-Town. Or the gold farmers made H4ppy-4g0ldshire.
The Glory Days? SUCKED. I'm sorry, but they did. You're describing FF11. Go play it and see how long before you yearn for how wow functions.

CPU Overclocking
Even with the power of the AMD Athlon X2 and Intel Extreme Edition processors, we still find ourselves hitting a CPU limitation in a lot of our benchmarks. That is, the graphics cards have more performance to give but the processor is letting the team down.
By overclocking the processor we can see what kind of a performance increase we get. When something isn't CPU limited the performance increase isn't all that major but when we do have a CPU bottleneck, every MHz extra we can get can show us an excellent jump in performance.
The Athlon X2 3800+ was increased from 2GHz to 2.3GHz with a slight increase in the front side bus utilizing the stock X2 HSF.
The overclock gives us a small bump in performance at both resolutions but nothing that you would get too excited about.
Even though the CPU is overclocked over 10% the performance increase seen in 3DMark05 can barely be seen.
Far Cry at the lower resolution sees a nice bump in performance but at the higher resolution we don't see anything at all.

Chelsea Close In On Dutch Defender
Chelsea look set to sign Ajax defender Gregory van der Wiel in a deal worth around £8million.
The Holland international was linked with interest from Stamford Bridge last summer when one outlet reported that a deal worth £27million was about to be done. But reports at the time were wide of the mark and van der Wiel was linked with interest from Spanish side Valencia early this year. The two parties looked set to come to an agreement that would have seen van der Wiel move to Spain in January in a deal worth around 7-8million euro (£6-7million); however, the deal collapsed and that has led to rumours of a Chelsea bid being revived.
After the departure of Jose Bosingwa and constant speculation linking Branislav Ivanovic with interest from Real Madrid, the Blues may finally be about to make a move for the 24-year-old, who has spent all his professional career with Ajax.
Sturridge Linked With Exit
Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge could be on his way out of the club if Roberto di Matteo gets the Stamford Bridge job on a full-time basis. According to newspaper speculation the 22-year-old is frustrated at being largely sidelined since the Italian succeeded Andre Villas-Boas.
Sturridge scored 13 times for the Blues this season in 45 appearances for the club but he often found himself on the substitutes' bench and played no part in Chelsea's triumphs in both the FA Cup and the Champions League finals earlier this month. The striker also found himself overlooked for Roy Hodgson's Euro 2012 squad although he may be called up if Danny Welbeck's fitness rules him out.
Sturridge's old club Manchester City have been linked with interest as his frustrations have become apparent this season and The People newspaper claims a return to the Etihad could be on the cards. Sturridge left City for Chelsea in a £3.5million deal in 2009 after a dispute over his contract.
However, that was before Roberto Mancini became City boss and he is said to be an admirer of Sturridge.
Hulk Impressive In Brazil Win
Porto striker Hulk did his prospects of a move to Chelsea no harm when he scored twice for Brazil in their 3-1 victory over Denmark yesterday.
The 25-year-old has been linked with interest from Chelsea and is said to be keen on a move to a Premier League club.
"For sure Hulk will only leave Porto for a big club and a big league and I can say that we like the Premier League a lot," his agent Teodoro Fonseca said earlier this week.
"At the moment, Chelsea is a club which is more interesting than ever, because they've become European champions and are without doubt one of the biggest in Europe."
Fonseca is believed to have been a guest of Chelsea at last weekend's Champions League Final in Munich.
Hulk beat Denmark keeper Thomas Sorensen with a 25-yard strike in the eighth minute and then beat defender Simon Kjaer before slotting past substitute keeper Stephan Andersen just before half-time.
Hulk has a 100million euro (£80million) release clause in his contract with Porto but the Portugese champions need to raise some cash and may settle for less. French big-spenders Paris Saint-Germain are also interested.
New Deal for Cech
Chelsea keeper Petr Cech looks set to sign a new deal which could keep him at the club until he is 34.
The 30-year-old keeper has a year left on his current deal at Stamford Bridge but he is in talks over an extension which will keep him at the club until 2016.
The news means that young keeper Thibaut Courtois will spend another season on loan at Atletico Madrid. The 20-year-old has had an impressive season with the Spanish giants which he capped with a shut-out in the side's 3-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League Final earlier this month.
Courtois moved from Belgian side Genk in a £6.9million deal last summer.

Hi everyone, so far our kitchen remodel is going great! The contractors have been hard at work so that we can have as quick a turn around as possible with the remodel. My kitchen guy says the granite will be installed as soon as next Wed. and let's just say that after next week I could literally have my baby at any point. So I'm looking for some backsplash help. I love subway tiles but I'd like something over my cooktop a little more exciting. I've looked at the Gramercy line from Walker Zanger and thought it was quite nice. I'm not a super fan of travertine for my backsplash as it's not really my style but I'm open to all suggestions. My cabinets are from Shiloh Cabinets and they're the homestead door (Shaker like) in Spice Maple, no glaze. My floor is Daltile San Michele Crema and we LOVE it so far!. The rest of our kitchen has lower paneling that will be painted Moody Blue from Sherwin Williams (a darker blue) and the walls above will be painted Liveable Green from Sherwin Williams. The Moody Blue seems to exactly match the bluish speckles in our granite and my husband just likes green :) The rest of the trim is Dover white and my sink is silgranit biscuit. My next post will show the granite slab. It's not the best picture of it, but it's a nice soothing stone. We don't want to highlight the orangey streaks. So far I'm thinking creamish subway tiles with something above the cooktop but I'm not sure what that would be above the cooktop. When you walk in our kitchen the first thing you'll see on the back wall is that area above the cooktop so I'd love for it to be something special. I I love birds and florals, kind of soft and feminine. Since I have to be around the house to make sure everything is going ok with the remodel and also because I'm just physically not as able to get out as much right now I can't do much shopping. And then after the baby comes school gets out and the other 4 kids come home so I obviously won't be doing a lot of shopping then either so I really would appreciate any help! Thanks in advance. |

I think this one that mpagmom used might look very nice. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Scroll down to backsplash
On my monitor, I see a lot of gray in that beautiful counter top. I am not seeing cream but maybe just my monitor. During our reno - I was working full-time, so was not there all of the time(obviously) It would be worthwhile going to a tile store and snagging some samples. There is a beautiful glass tile in almost a light mocha that might match. |
What about a pale green glass subway? Love your granite. |
- Posted by pseudochef (My Page) on Tue, May 7, 13 at 23:08
It's true there's not really any cream in the granite. Just thought it would be neutral...but it's also probably blah. I do like the circular tile Willamsen suggests, but it may be too white. Although it could be nice as an accent above the cooktop with a subway tile everywhere else (gray or green or something). What tile is that and where from? I did look at a putty colored subway tile (kind of grayish) and it looked nice but I just didn't feel I could do all gray. The pale green subway tile idea might be good. I'll have to think about that. Anyone else? Thanks for the suggestions so far!! |
- Posted by motherof3sons (My Page) on Tue, May 7, 13 at 23:19
You have selected gorgeous finishes. Would it be a problem to hold off on installing the backsplash until after the baby is born? Right now may be too stressful for you to make a decision. |
- Posted by pseudochef (My Page) on Tue, May 7, 13 at 23:30
Too stressful? What on earth are you talking about? Yeah, if I can't find anything I love I'll just leave it. But I'm really hoping to call it a day on the project and sit back and enjoy the new baby :) |
- Posted by joaniepoanie (My Page) on Wed, May 8, 13 at 10:47
If you don't want to go gray...try finding something in that toffee/tan color that is predominant in the lower left-hand corner of your picture? I would not go with green unless there is green in the granite. |
- Posted by williamsem (My Page) on Wed, May 8, 13 at 10:57
I believe those are ming green marble sunflower tiles, but I may be mistaken on the name, I've seen too many tiles lately. I'm sure mpagmom could tell you if you contact her. |
- Posted by Momto3kiddos (My Page) on Wed, May 8, 13 at 15:53
If you can make it out to one place to shop, find out who has Pratt and Larson near you. They can make almost anything. I think their stuff is beautiful. I had looked for weeks and finally found what I was looking for with Pratt and Larson. Their turn around time is about 4 weeks, but worth the wait, IMHO. Good luck with the tile and the baby! |
- Posted by pseudochef (My Page) on Wed, May 8, 13 at 22:50
Thanks everyone! You've give me some food for thought and some good online places to look at. My husband was home this afternoon and could watch the youngest kiddo and supervise the painters while I slipped out to the closest tile store. It's not the best tile store and they don't have any of the more feminine glazed tiles I would prefer. But I did find this option I'll attach. It would be the travertine subway everywhere with some sort of decorative spot above my cooktop out of the darker tiles. Probably put them on a diagonal or something. They also sell those in a smaller size. They coordinate nicely with the darker spots in the granite. It's still more masculine than I would like but at least I have one option. Any opinions? Momto3kiddos I looked at Pratt and Larson online and they have some beautiful tiles! Really up my alley with the floral stuff. I see they have a dealer downtown so I might try and swing by at some point if I can. I'll look more online too. Can I ask what their price point is though? I know some people on here spend a ton on their backsplash but I'm not in a position to do that. |
- Posted by pseudochef (My Page) on Wed, May 8, 13 at 22:54
I'll add that they're going to start installing my cabinets tomorrow! My contractor is moving so quickly! |
- Posted by hobokenkitchen (My Page) on Sat, May 11, 13 at 8:24
I am not crazy about the dark tiles, sorry. : ( I think they will look very heavy and weigh down the room. Do you like glass subways? That could be a more exciting twist on a classic if you can find a color that really works? Florals are lovely too. |
- Posted by nosoccermom (My Page) on Sat, May 11, 13 at 8:53
I would try to find a dark cream/bone colored tile (maybe glass) like in the lower left of your picture. Like this below. |
Here is a link that might be useful: dark cream backsplash tile
- Posted by Momto3kiddos (My Page) on Sat, May 11, 13 at 9:16
I am sure the Pratt and Larson varies... They calculate the price based on piece, not on sq ft. Mine is around $30 per sq ft. You mentioned walker zanger, and I think they are similar in price. I am no expert, but that's what I found when looking. We didn't have much sq ft for our backsplash so I was able to spend a bit more. I also chose not to do an accent behind the cooktop which helped save some dough. You have got to start another college fund soon. :) |

text: 10 September 2001 archive Tweet See all show photos IT WAS a hazy, crazy dream world of sexy hippy chicks and Seventies angels at BCBG Max Azria yesterday. Offering variations on white and cream, the California-based designer poured models onto his two-prong catwalk wearing swathes of floating silk chiffon, which hung sexily off shoulders and dangled from hips in the shape of sheer asymmetric scarf-tops and pelmet skirts. The cloud-like collection (think Seventies Marianne Faithfull) was punctuated only by the odd burst of delicate appliqué and beading, like in a sexy spangly silver tunic dress caught up by a hip-slung, long tasselled suede belt, or the inclusion of a swatch of denim or a pair of beige cowboy boots. Though very little showed a new vision for spring/summer 2002, parts of the collection were practical and much of it will be very desirable for pretty, young, wannabe hippies the world over next season.

Bible in Basic English (BBE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 For which reason, because we have righteousness through faith, let us be at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ; | 1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, |
2 Through whom, in the same way, we have been able by faith to come to this grace in which we now are; and let us have joy in hope of the glory of God. | 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. |
3 And not only so, but let us have joy in our troubles: in the knowledge that trouble gives us the power of waiting; | 3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; |
4 And waiting gives experience; and experience, hope: | 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. |
5 And hope does not put to shame; because our hearts are full of the love of God through the Holy Spirit which is given to us. | 5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. |
6 For when we were still without strength, at the right time Christ gave his life for evil-doers. | 6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. |
7 Now it is hard for anyone to give his life even for an upright man, though it might be that for a good man someone would give his life. | 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. |
8 But God has made clear his love to us, in that, when we were still sinners, Christ gave his life for us. | 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. |
9 Much more, if we now have righteousness by his blood, will salvation from the wrath of God come to us through him. | 9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! |
10 For if, when we were haters of God, the death of his Son made us at peace with him, much more, now that we are his friends, will we have salvation through his life; | 10 For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! |
11 And not only so, but we have joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we are now at peace with God. | 11 Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. |

Translator Jobs That Pay You $3500 a Month
Did it ever crossed your mind how is learning a second language useful when you were in primary school? It's definitely useful and profitable because your dual-language skills now is going to make you lots of money. By translating a simple email, let's say, english to chinese, or english to malay, or english to tamil, you get paid about $35! These jobs are pretty interesting and exciting too, because you get to translate new movie subtitles, books or even documents that many people don't access to!

Serene Ang
Being a stay-at-home mum, my choices for jobs are pretty limited and it's great to learn that I can still earn a good $3000 a month at home without compromising the precious time with my loved ones.
Resh G.
My full-time day job was paying poorly but I enjoy the 8-hour work day and the job security it provides. Naturally, the only viable option is to take up an easy part time job. I began taking on writing jobs and in less than 2 months, my earnings from part time job can nearly matches my full time job!
Qing Yu
I'm a foreigner studying in Nanyang Polytechnic and I have to work to pay off my school fees. I came across this website and began to take on the survey jobs. I'm surprised by how easy it is to earn an additional $1000 per month by spending some hours at night to complete the surveys.
Jeremy Toh
After getting out of National Service, I wasn't ready to go into a full time job because I'm looking to enter the university. Since I have learnt chinese and english in primary school, I decided to take on translator jobs and surprisingly, the simple jobs earn me about $4000 per month!

"Made a few modifications but wanted to share how great this recipe is! Made with real mashed potatoes, subbed ground beef for the braising beef, used less of an American Pale Ale, etc. Thank you, this made a fantastic Christmas feast for hubby and me!"
"This review is for the dough part of the recipe. I added a few teaspoons of dried rosemary. Worked great with my bread machine! This is my go-to focaccia recipe. Thank you for sharing:)"
"My husband and I really liked this dish. I substituted bison for beef, added garlic to the meatballs, used a combination of crushed pretzels and bread crumbs in place of the crackers, added vidalia onions and red and yellow peppers to the stir fry, and added more pineapple juice and soy sauce to the sauce. Thank you very much for sharing:)"
"I mixed all of the ingredients together at the same time, subbed 1/2 lb of Andouille sausage for the pork, upped the garlic to 7 cloves, substituted sambuca for ouzo, and baked them in the oven @ 350 for 25 minutes. Delicious! I am serving them with a yogurt mint sauce. Thanks for sharing!"
"This is the most luscious, delicious, pleasing tomato sauce I know of. Specifically, I use a 28 ounce can of whole peeled san marzano tomatoes, 5 tbsp salted butter (and I don't add additional salt), and a halved onion. There is nothing more pleasing than this sauce lightly coated on al dente pasta. Perfection."
"I needed to add a little more water to get my dough to come together. Once it did, though, it was fine. Before baking, I tested boiling the pretzels--I boiled three and left three un-boiled and then baked them. I think I prefer the boiled pretzels. They had the traditional pretzel look and texture. The unboiled pretzels raised more in the oven whi..."

SI Training
SI Calendar, Spring 2014
Completion of training will be a major factor in SI leaders' status for rehire and eligibility for pay raises. It will also influence letters of recommendation which may be given by the SI Supervisor.
Training Requirements
During the semester, SI leaders will attend eight formal SI training sessions, plus individual meetings with you SI supervisor to discuss strategies that will be helpful in conducting your SI sessions. Hours spent at training will be paid time.
Leaders are required to attend all training sessions. If you have an unavoidable conflict and must miss a training session, notify your supervisor in advance to make alternate arrangements. Any missed training must be made up with a supervisor-approved activity (e.g. tutor training, study skills seminar, individual meeting with supervisor).
The concepts covered in training are useful only if they are applied. Therefore, please follow up after each training session by trying out ideas from that training. We will begin the next week's meeting with a discussion of how useful you found the concepts from the previous week.Training Times
Training times will be set based on SI leader availability. You may attend training at either the Ogden or Davis campus. All sessions will be similar in content, so you can attend any session in a given week.Individual meetings with supervisor
Each week, please stop to visit briefly with your supervisor. On weeks when training is not held, plan on having a more extended meeting with your supervisor. These are opportunities to share any concerns and successes as well as generally touch base.Individual meetings with faculty
You are required to meet with your SI faculty member at least once, preferably twice, during the semester. This should be a sit-down meeting in which you get suggestions on material and activities for your SI and give general feedback on students' progress with the course material. Fill out the SI Leader/Faculty Discussion Form and turn it in to your supervisor each time you meet so that you can be paid for your time.Peer Observations
You will observe an experienced SI leader at your convenience sometime during week 10. Complete the "SI Peer Observation Form" and bring it to training where we will discuss the observations. You will be paid for your hour of observation.Supervisor Observations
Several times during the semester your supervisor will visit your SI session. Please schedule a short meeting to discuss the observation within 48 hours after a visit.Schedule
