I'm writing this letter to you after much hesitation. I thought "let me leave it behind me and move on". I thought "nah, what good does it do anyone to read this?". Well. I reconsidered.
Because you're still putting out calls for designers to submit to you. If they don't yet know what they're about to get into, I will be the one to tell them – unfortunately, I wasn't told, and I got caught in this mess. So please, dear publisher…
When I publish with serious, professional, down-to-earth, proper-prompt response companies, I get my cheque on time. Interweave pays when the issue is due to hit the newsstands. Vogue Knitting pays within receipt of the garment and pattern.
You pay when you feel like it, IF you feel like it.
Or when it's so obvious that hundreds of people are spreading your names on twitter as a source of no-payment. I got paid. I know of several people who haven't, yet.
Please pay your designers – on time.
When my contract says they're keeping the sample and it's with a hefty payment, I don't mind. When I have to source my yarn, make my sample, and my contract says the sample is to be returned to me, I expect you to do so.
Please return their samples when estipulated on their contract – like mine. I'm still waiting for your response.
When we sign a contract that mentions there may be re-use of the patterns and you will get a percentage of the profits that your publishing company receives, we expect to get that percentage in the mail, pronto.
Do you believe we don't know what you're doing? (link)
Reselling your crochet patterns that designers worked hard and got paid (if they got paid) a pittance for, failing to notify the designers that this situation is about to happen and failing to reply to them, is wrong.
Please stop trying to make money on the side with our hard work.
This is sad. It's sad and pathetic. You meant good, opening up a new set of magazines originating from Britain without the stairlift ads. You did. But you got lost. You changed Technical Editors like tissues, and failed to compensate them on time, or appropriately. You paid a pittance for designs – which some of us put up with when we were starting out.
Like me,when I first started out I was grateful to have a non-dowdy UK publication to submit to, get my first foothold into the industry that could lead me to the bigger publications. I wanted to support a local business. I trusted a good British business to not make a mockery of good business practices, especially if they planned on being an international name.
If you can't afford to compensate accordingly, maybe it's time to reconsider. You already had a failed business behind your back, take the blindfold off.
I expect my sample back soon. Please.
If you are a new designer, I would highly recommend you don't submit your ideas. While I don't wish misery or bankruptcy upon anyone, I believe this publishing house needs to accept their shortcomings and acknowledge publicly that they have failed to pay people. That cheques are late. That they withhold samples. That they are re-selling our work without our permission or appropriate payment. That they refuse to answer emails, regardless of how polite they are. In short – they cannot manage their business according to good legal practice.
Designers, tech-eds and knitters need to stand together for a reason – to preserve the quality of our work.
You, knitter, want quality patterns, edited by quality technical editors.
We, designers can't produce quality patterns without appropriate timely compensation.
This publisher needs quality patterns to keep up their production.
Don't give them what they want until we get what's due.

Thank you! This is such a brave post to make but so very, very important so this behaviour doesn't continue
I remember when this initially broke – my constant questioning on their Facebook page caused them to remove wall posting privileges after one day. I never did get a response but I got their attention and hopefully to those who saw my words before the company deleted them, I got theirs as well. I was in process of submitting to them but thankfully, you and several others got my attention and I was saved the heartache. If possible, join a class action lawsuit – go to the local media with your stories as well.
Designing is difficult (and often times thankless) work. Technical Editing is the same. Those who do it should be paid and paid well. This company's fraudulent and unethical business practices need to be stopped. I will stand with you to do all I can to help – our work is unique, talented and should be shown the respect it deserves… that we deserve.
Are we bad payers?
Goodness no – I was very surprised at the way you pay your designers, your communication was clear, helpful, and I will work with you again in a heartbeat.
Unfortunately… this publishing house, All Craft Media, not so much!
Thanks for this. I had heard about this and deduced which magazine was the problem. I'm a new designer, and have been lucky to work with The Knitter and Knit Now, both of whom are lovely to deal with and pay promptly. It would be very easy to get 6 months down the line of magazine submissions, working for a pittance if you considered the hourly rate, only to find that you were not getting paid or having samples returned. I haven't bought this magazine for ages, as I'm not willing to support a magazine that doesn't deal with their designers in a reasonable way. It's good to know that I have been boycotting the right mag!
Thank you for coming forward with this, people need to hear about it.
(hit post too soon)
By the looks of it this company and the person in charge of it have been participating in this kind of shady stuff for years. It's awful and unless you do the digging it's not readily apparent. I'm a designer and a member of the sock club – both times I committed just before the non-payment issues started to bubble up publicly. I'm so glad that my dealings with them are nearly over, and I'm never buying from them or working with them again.
Thank you :)
You Rock, Ruth…!
There's never any point dancing around these things.
It needed to be said, and you have said it so well…
Many Hugs
S xXx -
Kudos! Yes, this exactly this. My experience with this publisher was much the same. It was an absolute runaround to get paid and only when I spoke up publicly, did it actually happen.
If patterns are being resold in electronic form without permission… then I have three words: DMCA Takedown Notice.
This is appalling! I'm in Utah less than an hour away from Bluffdale. I'm tempted to go there myself and give them a piece of my mind!
The company is actually in the UK. I'm not sure if the if the other magazine re-publishing the patterns is necessarily at fault (beyond the scope of unwittingly distributing the patterns without permission of the copyright holder), but it's pretty icky all around.
Great post, Ruth. I got all my money owed by September last year after posting about this on Ravelry. I've also warned a few new designers I've come into contact with. By the time I was owed money for 3 designs which was 3 months overdue, I'd already completed & sent in another 3 designs to them. it's so easy to get in to a situation where you complete several design before you're paid for the first one (or don't get paid for the first one and realise there is a problem). I first experienced this exactly a year ago and can't believe a year later, they're still selling mags and getting away with it. Very, very sad.
Hi – someone's just sent me this link and I don't know which magazine you are referring to. I did some designs for Inside Crochet, didn't get my samples returned, and only got paid when I got a high court enforcement. And then they emailed me to ask if I'd like to send them further designs! They've lost me as a subscriber, because very soon they'll run out of people to design for them if they carry on like this; no point in subscribing to a magazine that is unlikely to see the year out. Will carry on designing but will stick with Interweave who are more professional…
Thank you so much for posting this! Still waiting (ha, ha, ha) on payment and a sample back from this very unprofessional organization. Definitely drawn in as a fledgling designer. I have had absolutely no luck with my last design and really am not expecting to see payment or the sample they say they have "misplaced". What a dismal first publishing experience. :-(
A few other designers and I are beginning legal action in a last-resort attempt to get paid for our several months long-overdue invoices from All Craft Media (formerly called KAL Media). It's encouraging to hear that another commenter found success through that route. Any advice from your court experience? Also, any other designers wishing to join us in a group appeal, please contact wildbirdsong on Ravelry (that's me), and we'll add you to our list.
Hi – I filed my CCJ on line – google HMCourts and Tribunals Service Money Claim which is based in Nottingham and sometimes referred to as the Bulk Centre. You are entitled to add compensation and interest under the Late Payments of Commercial Debts Act 2002 and ensure you note in your claim that you want interest added up to the date of payment (currently 8.5%), plus add in all the costs of the non-returned samples. This filing on line costs £60, which can also be added to what they owe you. If they don't respond (they didn't with me) and your claim is over £600, you can "up" it to a high court enforcement once the CCJ is issued. Even if it's less than £600, you can pay to send in bailiffs, who will recover all your costs plus what was originally owed, as well as their costs. If it's over £600, the bailiffs have more rights (I think they can turn up unannounced, for example), so if you can legitimately get your costs over that threshold, with the compensation, interest, costs etc, that's more likely to get your money back, although you have to go through the hoop of getting it upped to the high court first. I then used CN Gaunt to do the high court and actual debt recovery, and they were very good – a further £60 for the HC fees, and the rest they recovered from the debtor. My original invoices were for £420, but with all the added costs, I ended up getting ~£750 back, so it must have cost the magazine a lot more as they'd have had to pay the bailiff's fees on top of that. If enough people take this route, maybe they'll work out it's actually cheaper for them to pay people on time. If the worst happens, ie you go for a CCJ and bailffs but they can't recover the debt, you can at least deduct any unrecovered costs against tax.
It's a pity as I would've liked to continue designing for a UK magazine, but they need to stop being so amateur about it.-
May I ask if the debts were owed by KAL or ACM? Just wondering what my chances are.
Hi – it was ACM. My original contract was with KAL but when they closed down I was asked to invoice ACM and so I demanded new contracts. HOWEVER, at no point in the process through the court was I asked to produce the contracts or even copies of my invoices, I just had to confirm that the money was owed. I think it was Feb 2011 that KAL was wound up (sorry, have that info somewhere at home; not currently at home) so if you invoiced ACM then I would go ahead now and sue them. If you invoiced KAL, you may not have much chance because that company doesn't exist and their debts were written off (note: the director of ACM is the husband of the director of KAL – unfortunately as they're a ltd co you can't sue the director). BUT if your work was *published* by ACM, I'd re-invoice ACM, wait until they've not paid you, and then sue them. Hope that helps
That's good to know. I was asked to re-invoice all unpaid debts to ACM (and didn't receive payment for them), so I may have some recourse there. Thanks so much for the info.
… sorry, meant to add – I didn't have to go to court, I didn't have to speak to anyone at KALMedia/AllCraft Media, I just did it all on line, There was a bit of phoning up but that was mainly around my misunderstanding of the timescales for each step (if you file on a Saturday, they treat it as the Monday – yes, I know, obvious really). Still a bit stressful having to keep noting when you need to take the next step, and then promptly doing it, but I got my money in the end, so it was worth it. Should have been paid in June, got paid in January. Recommend anyone who's not been paid as their contract states to do this; I suspect it's the only way these people will learn. If people don't fuss, they'll just carry on until they run out of designers.
This is super helpful, thank you so much!
Hi, I'm a designer who has been dealing with KNIT magazine too. It looks
like they are turning over a new leaf. Naomi has been very responsive
and pleasant to work with, and I've received payment promptly (it
arrived Feb 27 2012 for a design published Jan 1 2012). I'm willing to
work with them in future based on their current behavior.I'm so sorry about what happened to everyone in the past.
I've now seen comments whereby they are threatening to not pay if the designer discusses the situation on line. Er, legally they can't do that unless it is specifically mentioned in your contract with them (which I bet it isn't). If you post something on line and it's not true, they can sue you (separately) for libel, but if it is true that won't get them very far – you'd win that case. And you'd still be owed the money for the work you have done and you can still sue them for it. They are not allowed to offset being written about on line, even if untrue, with the money they owe you; they have to pay you and sue you seperately. Discussing it on line is hopefully saving other people falling into the trap of sending them their hard work and them enjoying the fruits of publishing it but not keeping up their side of the contract ie paying for it. It would be nice if they could realise this, and start paying all their backlog of invoices. It will be cheaper for them than having to pay the higher charges once the debt has gone to court; if enough people start suing them, maybe they'll work this out for themselves.

Polar Bear Census and Tracking (Bathurst Island, Canada)
A trip with Ice-Warrior to Bathurst Island and Polar Bear Pass to survey Polar Bears and other Arctic fauna and flora. Included are a few sample photographs from the trip, there are hundreds of others. All photographs are copyright Brendon Grunewald. For high resolution versions or access to the entire library contact Brendon Grunewald.
08 May 2009
Left Brussels for Ottawa via London Heathrow. Met rest of team in Terminal 3, and boarded for Ottawa. Landed 16:00 local time and went to Marriot on Kent. Dinner in the bar (Salmon).
09 May 2009
Woke at 05:30, showered closed bag and checked out of hotel. Went to buy coffee and Boston Creams for all (just coffee for me). 06:30 left for airport for early checking as we had 14 bags of gear and food. Boarded a First Air flight to our first hop, Iqaluit on the southern shores of Baffin Island. Fittingly First Air has a polar bear painted on the tail of their aircraft. 2 hr lay over in Iqaluit, spent looking at the local soap stone carvings. Apparently Iqaluit is one of the best place to find exceptional pieces of Inuit carvings. Iqaluit temperature at mid day -10C. According to Paul (next to me on plane) it gets to <-30C in the winter in Iqaluit and with wind chill colder than that…
Then a turbo prop via Nanisivik to Resolute Bay. The stop over was only 30 minutes, long enough for a few people to get off, and some cargo to be off loaded.
In Resolute Bay we gathered our gear and headed to the hotel (-16C and beautiful sunny weather). Dinner was ribs & salad after which we went for a walk around Resolute.
Resolute is a small village and given that it was well after 9PM very quiet. The sun does not set, hence it was still light. The most striking find on the walk around town were several Polar Bear skins stretched out to dry outside a few houses, we also came across two seal skins, stretched to dry and a headless seal still lashed to a sledge. The realities of indigenous peoples rights, which seem very academic in Brussels, were suddeenly in sharp focus (hopefully the photos too).
On our return we discussed plans for the next day which mainly involved gear check and packing.
10 May 2009
After getting most of the gear and food sorted and packed, it was decided to spend another night in the Hotel at Resolute so that everyone could rest out and be fresh for an early morning start in the morning. Food mainly consisted of freeze dried packs. Breakfast was egg and bacon (just add boiling water), Lunch was nuts and dried fruit and dinner was almost without exception some form of chicken and rice dish (just add boiling water). Gear was checked to ensure everyone had Base Layer, Mid Layer and Outer Layer gear as well as down jackets etc. In the kitchen at the hotel is "Randy" the famous arctic chef. Randy came to Resolute from Barbados many years ago and has kept many and expedition fed over the years.
11 May 2009
Woke up to a magnificent day, sunny, blue skies, -8C, what more could one ask for… Breakfast at 7AM, followed by final gear preparations, saftey drill check, loading up of sledges, lunch and go. Not sure when next update will be but it will be via satellite phone from camp in Freeman's Cove on Bathurst Island.
12 May 2009
Left Resolute, and headed toward Bathurst Island in beautiful sunshine. After 2 hrs of traveling we reached Brown Island and decided to stop for tea. We had our first close encounter with a polar bear there as, whilst drinking our tea, we were approached by one. He came right up to us ! (10m or so). After he left, we started out again for Bathurst. However, the sea ice started to worsen as did the light, so we returned to Brown Island to set up camp on the sea ice just off the island.
13 May 2009
This morning we spotted an arctic fox close by and a few polar bears on the horizon. We decided to camp 2 more nights here and explore the island in more detail. In all we saw ptarmigans, gulls and various polar bears and seals at a distance.
15 May 2009
Today, we packed up and headed toward Bathurst again. Made it to Baker Island where the sea ice again got rough, so we set up camp on the sea ice just off the beach. Tomorrow we hope to reach Freeman's Cove on Bathurst, where according to the Inuit, we may find muskoxen and a few other interesting animals.
16 May 2009
Jim and Brendon set out to recon a route to Bathurst through the sea ice around the south western corner of Baker and then North to Bathurst. The route was relatively flat and we were able to return to the Baker Island camp, pack up and make it to Freeman's Cove on Bathurst in time for dinner. An additional bonus was the fact that there were 3 huts which we could use for shelter.
17 May 2009
Team (except for Jim who remained at camp) headed north up Freeman's cove to scout the area and see what wildlife was in the area. We also stopped for a couple of hours on a frozen lake to try some ice fishing. After nearly 2 hours of digging with an ice-pic we were still not able to reach water, so we decided to press on further north with the hope of spotting additional animals. As a result dinner was tinned Tuna instead of fresh Arctic Char. (Note to self: Next time you want to go fishing take the proper ice drilling equipment.)
18 May 2009
Weather was poor today with a strong wind. As a result it was decided to have a camp day. However during a walk around the immediate vacinity of the camp some fresh wolf prints were spotted, but unfortunately not the actual wolf.
19 May 2009
Headed south west from the huts today toward a series of valleys which may have musk ox, arctic fox, arctic hare etc. After travelling for several hours we reached the furthest point on top of a hill where one of the snow mobiles stopped working (suspected fuel pump failure). As a result Ian and Jim ferried the 3 ladies back to camp on the remaining snow mobiles before returning to pick up the broken snow mobile and Brendon who remained behind. The snow mobile could not be repaired in the field and thus needed to be towed back to the huts, arriving after 10PM. All in all a long and frustrating day with no animals sighted.
20 May 2009
Most of the team headed out to walk in one of the near by valley's just north of the huts, while Jim and Brendon remained at camp and started to sort out some of the gear for the next days trek back toward Resolute via Intrepid Bay. The team did not spot much wildlife, but on a trip after dinner to photograph an ice pond, Ian and Merel returned with some interesting photos of bubbles and cracks in ice, as well as some photos of an Arctic Fox.
21 May 2009
Spend the day travelling back from Bathurst via the south of Baker island and on to Intrepid Bay for the night. We had hoped to make it into Intrepid Bay as we had heard that there were Musk Ox in the area but the sea ice was too rough to make progress onto land in the immediate area. As a result we decided to stay in camp and hope for a last Polar Bear encounter. We had spotted 2 bears at distance while travelling between Baker and Cornwallis Island, but no bear came within sight of the camp that night.
22 May 2009
Up at 4AM to pack camp and head to Resolute Bay. Weather was not ideal but we made it to Resolute before 10AM, in time to unpack, sort the gear and have a much needed shower / bath before lunch. That afternoon we went to the other side of Resolute Bay to see the old Thule site and returned to the South Camp Inn hotel for Arctic Char for dinner and then bed.
23 May 2009
Up at 4AM for a 06:30 flight from Resolute Bay via Nanasivik to Iqaluit and then on to Ottawa and our connection that evening to Europe. A day in the plane thus and a chance to catch up on some sleep in a vertial position.
Thanks to Jim McNeill (Ice-Warrior) for organising the trip, picking the route in challenging conditions at times, and Ian McCarthy whose eagle eye, exceptional wildlife experience from all over the planet and good nature made the trip something to remember.

Hey Lou, I listened to the mousetimes podcast episode that you were interviewed in. And I was thinking about the question as to whether or not you are going to have a co-host on WDW Radio or not. If you feel so inclined as to have a co-host on WDW Radio, I would like to throw my name into the hat. Now, I have no previous radio experience or podcast experience. But I do love Disney, and am willing to do what it takes. So, just thought I'd throw that out there.
GREAT SHOW, LOU! It's great to have you back on my iriver clix!
The Butabi brothers from Night at the Roxbury:
Doug Butabi: So anyways, I was standing there waiting to use the pay phone.
Steve Butabi: Yeah, he was, seriously.
Doug Butabi: And this guy who was on the phone, turns around and tips his hat like this.
Steve Butabi: And who do you think that guy was?
Doug Butabi: Lou Mongello.
Steve Butabi: The Disney World Trivia man, I swear to God, I was there.
Doug Butabi: Of course you were, you were the one who yelled the Podcaster's name.
Steve Butabi: I was like, "LOU!!!"

I supported the Teen Summit that Hire Learning coordinated to give the youth of the South Suburban communities a voice. The event that the Hire Learning staff put on was fantastic! Not only did they showcase their programs, but they invited other youth organizations to be a part of the event as well. Hire Learning exemplified community collaboration efforts, and as a donor, I felt that many young people received services that would not have had they not been a part of that event. Hire Learning is not only a great organization for their youth participants, but also great community collaborators as well!

Torn rotator cuff one week before starting first nursing job :( - page 2
So, I was all ready to head to Texas from California to start my first nursing job in an emergency room... took almost a year to find a job. So long story short I fell on the stairs at home and tore... Read More
0Nov 8, '12 by janice_c67They expect you to go back to work after two weeks?!?! I think at 3 weeks I went to my first PT, just having them attempt to move my arm at all was so painful I saw my life flash before my eyes!
Two months is probably not even going to be enough given the nature of what nurses do, it was 3 months before I was somewhat functioning again (had to let my nursing job go but got another one and started working 6 months after the injury) you will absolutely not be able to work in two weeks even if the tear was minimal, I can't speak for every rotator cuff repair but mine was extremely painful, didn't sleep for literally 9 weeks. This workers comp person is insane to tell you that, and even when you do go back your employer needs to figure out how to arrange light duty for you or they can count on having you go out again for a reinjury.

Pronounced: Stra-BIZ-mus
En Español (Spanish Version)Strabismus is a problem with the alignment of the eyes. One or both of the eyes are turned in, out, up, or down.
Appearance of Strabismus
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
There are two types:
- Constant strabismus—the eye turns all the time
- Intermittent strabismus—the eye turns only some of the time, like in times of stress, illness, concentration, or when tired
Strabismus is caused by a lack of coordination between the muscles in the eyes. This can happen due to:
- Problems, imbalances, or injuries of the muscles that move the eyes
Nervous system disorders that affect vision, such as:
- Problems or injury of the nerves that control the eye muscles
- Tumor in or near the eye or brain
- Strokes or bleeding in the brain
- Increased pressure in the brain
- Myasthenia gravis

Step 16: Safe Alternative To Degreaser
An alternate to engine degreaser is Simple Green. You can buy gallon jugs at Home Depot or other big box chain stores. Dilute according to directions with water. You can even use piping hot water to dissolve grease faster. Use a siphon sprayer hooked to your air compressor to blast away dirt and grease.These are available from most professional tool sellers and priced from about $15 to over a hundred. When using pressurized sprayers, be careful not to force solvents into electrical connections, engine orifices or sensitive components.

Build Shop: Warrior 31/27/3 for Season 4 {WoW}
Jun 18th 2008 2:55AM I usually dont post much on wowinsider, but honestly like the people say before this spec you posted is not a very viable spec. I am not too good in arenas but i keep a 1600+ rating on my 2s and read a lot about specs and such.
If you look at this in talent calculator this is ur spec.
like the people mentioned above the main problems with this spec is no SECOND WIND. THE other problem could arguably be that it is ur preffences in play style.
However the reasoning you give for why you decided to go with your spec arent good. You said u wanted survivability but ur missing second wind. You talked about saving rage, however you like to use heroic strike.
People above mentioned other problem with your spec and they also mentioned some controversial, like UBW not being viable in 2s or anger management. However from what i have read those are controversial topics and arent a do or die discussion. However, second wind is a do or die.
Currently this is a more helpful spec
not your cookie cutter spec but it is still better for 2s then the one you posted. Some things that can be changed around is putting points in blood crazed instead of commanding prescience. Imp demo shout or booming voice instead of UBW.
Also for a 3s or 5s spec u want to go into flurry if ur geared for high crit.
AGain you can tweak it out for your preffence and the same controversial topics can arise, but it still a decent spec.
If you wanna see the best warriors spec in the game jsut go to SK gaming arena page and then you can armory them and see their spec. THey all have a similar spec as the ones i suggested just different tweaks here and there for preferable playstyle.
Upcoming interview with the author of Omen {WoW}
Apr 13th 2008 11:00PM I understand how hard coding can be and really dont care how many updates you guys come out with as long as the final result works exellent.
The question i have is that WoW has been known for taking add ons and adding it to their interface. THey are thinking of adding a threat meter in expansion.
Do u feel like blizard is using your free work to enhance their work?
What other addons do u plan on developing that can be as revolutionary as omen?

The Hall of Human Origins offers a welcoming place to explore one of the most exciting areas of science, the study of human evolution. Despite strong public interest in the science, however, many people find this topic troubling when viewed from a religious perspective. Representatives of diverse religious communities encourage a larger, more respectful understanding of both the scientific evidence and religious belief.

The body hair of all mammals automatically stands up when cold, creating a fluffy layer of warmth. When we're cold, the muscles around the hair follicles contract – a reflex left over from when our ancestors had long body hair. But since we don't have much body hair, all we see are the goose bumps on our skin.
Did you know that your brain makes up about 2% of your body weight…but uses about 20-25% of your body's total energy, just for its basic activity? That's one hungry brain! No wonder it's good to eat nutritious foods that offer a lot of energy. The brain of a newborn baby is even more amazing, as it takes up about 60% of the baby's energy as the brain grows at an astonishing pace.

Jan 27, 2013 10:27 PM by Dustin Klemann - MTN News
WORDEN - The words "championship" and "dynasty" are rarely used together when the topic at hand is high school speech and debate. But on Saturday, those words accurately described one coach's team on the quest for 30 straight titles.
With the weight of 29 straight state titles on their shoulders, 29 students from Loyola Sacred Heart High School in Missoula drove more than five hours across the state to be apart of unmatched domination of any sport or activity.
Three of the 29 students were bright-eyed freshmen, participating in their first state tournament, and the person feeling it most was Matthew Stergios.
Loyola's Speech and Debate Head Coach, who led his team to every one of them and very much has the look of a head coach - sans the gruff demeanor. But the road to 30 titles didn't start with ease.
"I took over the team in 1981. There was only six kids returning from the year before. We were a long way from any state title back then and it took three hard years to get the first one," said Stergios.
Stergios admits he wouldn't go through those first two years again. After the first title in the 1983-1984 season, Loyola, and the speech and debate world, witnessed a domino effect. It was at Huntley Project in Worden that the team aimed for 30 straight; a national record.
"I started off in '81, hoping to build a championship team and when we got the first one back in 1983, we had to convince people that speech is for everybody. And once we got that first championship, you hear the expression 'everyone likes a winner', it's amazing how kids started coming out for the program when it got a reputation for being so successful," Stergios beamed.
That success spilled over for families who've been apart of the team's dynasty. Caelin Miltko is a second generation debater - her mother, Susan Miltko, helped the team win the 1986 and 87 titles.
"There was definitely some pushing. 8th grade, I wasn't super into talking in front of people but my mom was like 'you're going to love it, so you need to do it.' And here I am," said Caelin with a smile.
Susan nodded and continued, "Having coached with Matt Stergios, I knew what an incredible experience it would be for her. And I think it took one debate, one meet, before she was hooked. So I didn't have to push for long." Both chuckled. Both understood the incredible trail the team blazed.
Loyola's reputation is one of prestige and Stergios reputation's as a coach draws passive recruiting for young students wanting to participate - and of course - win. But it's his philosophy that fosters those championship ways.
"I treat it like a sport. We have team meetings, we have team practices, we set team goals. I talk to the team how other coaches talk to their teams. We have expectations, we support each other, we work together. It's a lot of the same characteristics that go into coaching a successful sports team, I have applied to speech and debate," said Stergios.
After day-long toil, awards started behind schedule. Most students let loose some energy with enthusiastic dancing within Red Devil's new gym. Others sat in the stands, looking disenchanted with their performance.
With his team ready for the ceremony, high up in the stands, Stergios arrived to the gym with thrilled cheers. The team dawned lei's, paying homage to the Punahou (Hawaii) High School's 29 straight titles in boys swimming from 1958-86.
It was slightly after 7 p.m. Saturday when the team collectively howled in excitement. For the 30th year in a row, Loyola Sacred Heart High School Speech and Debate team were champions once again. A fist pump, handshakes, and hugs followed Stergios' path down the stands. With a grin and a look of sincere gratitude, Stergios graciously accepted the champion plaque.
Emotion peaked through Stergios' voice when we spoke of his team, past and present, "It's beyond anything I could do on my own. I am very lucky. I teach at a great school. It's been a great honor and these kids deserve all the respect they can get. It's nice to see the results and breakthroughs."
Those results and breakthroughs crafted a history and shoes that will be difficult to fill.
Stergios plans to step down from the head coach position after this year, but he believes the program is in capable hands and plans to continue to help out in some capacity.

This is similar although only one person is involved, so it's less of a loss for Blizzard.

Robert S. Kaplan
Robert S. Kaplan (born 1940) is Baker Foundation Professor at Harvard Business School, United States, and co-creator, together with David P. Norton, of the balanced scorecard, a means of linking a company's current actions to its long-term goals. Kaplan and Norton introduced the balanced scorecard method in their 1992 Harvard Business Review article, The Balanced Scorecard: Measures That Drive Performance.
This method has been endorsed by companies such as Mobil and Sears. The balanced scorecard envisages executives as pilots with a range of controls and indicators in front of them, based upon which they make decisions and develop strategies. He has also published in the fields of strategy, cost accounting and management accounting. Prior to Harvard, Kaplan was on the faculty and was Dean of the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University. He is a co-founder of both The Palladium Group and its predecessor firm, Balanced Scorecard Collaborative.[1]
In 2006, Kaplan received the Lifetime Contribution Award from the Management Accounting Section of the American Accounting Association.
In 2006, Kaplan was named to the Accounting Hall of Fame.

I guess I don't have anything "funny" for my bucket list.
November 16th is my last work day and I will be retired so I will be able to cross retiring off my list!
There are a few states here in the US that I would like to travel to yet.......have 5 or 6 left that DH and I have not been to.
Even though I am retiring from the work place, I would like to start a scrap for hire business from home. Friends have advised me not to take something that I love to do as a hobby and turn it into a "job". Anyone have any thoughts on that?
Joyce - you never know unless you try! It would be different doing it for others vs. doing your own scrapping.

I have changed the overall theme for the site to a more modern "curve" theme. It will be the one everyone uses from now on, you will not be able to alter it on your own. It will make things a whole lot easier for me to maintain.THNXthe Management
I been working real hard the last twelve months. I have been losing weight, climbing often, eating "right", and making progress as a result. Long story short, I'm hungry to climb harder.Lately I can't sleep through the night. The pain in my joints(elbows and shoulders) keeps me out of a deep sleep. The worst part is, I am unknowingly curling my arms tight to my chest and sleeping on them. Each time this wakes me, the pain is worse. I've been trying to knock down the pain with Ibuprofen, but that's not working anymore.I work with my hands as a contractor, so I don't get a ton of rest when I'm not climbing. I feel like I might be over doing it a bit lately and thinking of taking a short break from climbing.Have you got any experience with this sort of thing? How long did you take off? Did it help?

Next week when the administration adds up Obamacare's first-year achievements—six to seven million Americans signed up for insurance on the exchanges and a few million more on the Medicaid rolls—38-year-old Bambi Devor and her five kids won't be among them. That's because her husband, Jeremy, is lucky. Yes, lucky. He has a Blue Cross policy from his employer, an engineering firm in Salem, Illinois. It offers good coverage and very low cost-sharing compared to the policies offered in the exchanges. Even better, the firm pays most of the premium. Devor, an engineering assistant, pays only $71 a month for his coverage—a bargain in today's insurance world. His wife and five kids are not on the policy, though. He would have to pay the entire premium for family coverage, $587 a month, which he says he can't swing on his income of around $54,000. "We're always on the razor's edge financially," he says.
I've been following Devor and his family since he contacted me in 2009 during the health reform debate. He was hoping that the law, then about to pass, would bring affordable health insurance to his family, but because of a January Treasury Department ruling, neither Devor nor his family is eligible for subsidized coverage in the Illinois exchange. You see, what Devor pays for his coverage is less than 9.5 percent of his gross income, and the health law deems that "affordable" coverage. That bars him from receiving a subsidy for an exchange policy. While that ruling doesn't hurt him, it does hurt his family. The government has decided that because he has "affordable" employer-sponsored coverage, his family members have it, too, and they cannot get subsidies either.
Obamacare was never meant to bring health insurance to every American who needed it. Its goal was to make it available to more people. Millions always were going to be left out. The problem the Devors have run into—the so-called "family glitch"—could ensnare as many as two to three million adults and children, according to the UC Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Eduation. What's the reason for penalizing families this way? Ken Jacobs, who chairs the Center, explained the reason was simply cost. "The worry was that families might migrate from employer coverage to the exchange to get subsides," he said, and "that might cost the government more money. It leaves a pretty big gap."
The Devors know about that gap. As I've followed them over the past few years, I've seen how a family living in the middle of the country in a rural area with few opportunities for job advancement has struggled on a middling income to find affordable health insurance and affordable healthcare for very ordinary family medical needs. I've suggested other reporters follow such a family—invest time, follow up—in order to better explain and illustrate the intricacies of Obamacare (the "family glitch," for one) in a way that is both more comprehensive and compelling than the flurry of brief personal anecdotes we've seen of late. Some reporters have done so. Earlier this month, for example, Emily Bazar of the CHCF Center for Health Reporting wrote about the Yates and Tipton families who, like the Devors, are caught in the "glitch." Hopefully Bazar will continue to report on how these families fare.
As for the Devors, Bambi and her kids were on the Illinois All Kids program, but two years ago the state notified Devor his wife would no longer be eligible. To save money, the letter said, the state had to tighten eligibility, so she was dropped from the rolls. For two years she has had no insurance, and the family saved a few hundred dollars to check out her recurring ovarian cysts. His oldest daughter, who is attending a community college and working at a Dairy Queen, has aged out of the program and is also uninsured. She can shop in the exchange and get coverage with subsidies because Devor no longer claims her as a dependent on his tax return. Still, she hasn't shopped. "She's healthy and doesn't understand this is important," Devor says, adding even if she had to pay only $50 a month for a policy, it would still have a huge deductible, effectively giving her no insurance and an out-of-pocket expense.

This stuff has done wonders for my skin. My skin is dried out from winter and being pregnant with dry skin has made it worse. Since my skin was so dried out I was breaking out badly. After I started using this my spots and resness calmed down a lot. They didn't go away, but I didn't expect that either. This stuff is thick, and you don't need much to cover whole face. I'm using a sample I got in one of the facial kits, I hope it will tide me over until summer hits because I don't want to have to buy a full size and not be able to use it all until next winter.
Love it but use w/ caution! This is product is for DRY or very DRY skin only - don't attempt otherwise unless for eye or cuticle use. Reminds me of a balmy vasline w/ a hint of citronella scent that disapates quickly. Dot on your face and pat it on that way - don't try to smear it on your face. The stuff is way to thick. I guess you could rub it between your fingers to warm it up that way and then spread but I have been having better luck dotting it on and patting it in. Also apply plenty of time before you hit the sheets so it has some time to sink in.
I also used around my eyes on my lips. I woke up to smooth, glowy skin. I would only use this during winter time because it's very heavy - way to much for summertime. I think it would make an excellent eye cream or cuticle cream for everyone year round. BB's does not test on animals & has all natural ingredients - Would repurchase!
This product will leave your skin very soft and supple. It smells a bit, but it is a nice floral scent. It is yellow but if you put a thin amount (which is all you need), it will not show. I suggest you put it between your thumb and pointer finger to "work it" a lil because it is very thick and the top often is hard in a new jar. Then don't smear it on, just tap it on lightly. I don't use it on my Tzone because it makes me break out though. I also cannot stand to use it more than every other day. I like the packaging.
Amazing moisturizer! I have extremely dry skin due to my use of Renova(retinol) and have tried everything to get rid of my dry,flaky (as a result more wrinkle prone) skin. This stuff really works. However, you may not like it if your skin is oily or even combination because it is really heavy and a bit greasy. I have been using it both day and night however recently purchased Origin's Never Say Dry to use during the day. It seems good so far.
Regarding Burt's, my skin is soooo soft and glowing and my wrinkles are practically gone! (they are under my eyes)It really locks in moisture and keeps your skin healthy and young looking.
I use this as an under eye cream as well along with Zia Ultimate eye cream (great find!) and Burt's Bees Repair Serum with Attar of Rose (this is also an excellent product).
More reviews by PerfumeEnjoyer
This is my favorite facial moisturizer. I love the way it smells, and the evening primrose oil is so healing, so soothing. A tiny bit is all that is needed, gently rubbed in. I only use all-natural products, and for facial creams, only Burt's Bees, and this is the most calming to my skin of the whole line, and the most pleasant to use. I especially like it for sunburned skin. Super restorative. If I'm really burned, I'll layer it over fresh aloe gel.
actually, i kind of liked this, but i do NOT use it for my whole face (infact the idea of doing that makes me shudder...=( ) instead i use it as an eye creme. it makes the skin around my eyes softer and more moisturized so when i wake up and it's had time to soak in overnight, it makes my concealer go on smoother. i got this in one of those sample pack things though - i'm not sure if its worth buying a full size of.
More reviews by cloudsofviolet
Extremely moisturising. Probably good for dry skin, but not for mine, though it didn't make me breakout even though I finished the whole jar.
I have oily skin so I was reluctant to try the product. It goes on pretty heavy and I wasn't crazy about the smell, but the next morning I could see the difference in my skin. It was softer and more moist without being oily. I've been using it for about a month and I can see the difference now when I apply my makeup. I love this product and will continue to buy it.
More reviews by minimillerhighlife
i love this product. It is very rich so I just use it as an eye cream. I love the way it smells and the ritual of putting it on every night, i think it gives me good dreams.
This is more of a "balm" than a cream and if you are familiar with Bobbi Brown or Decleor, they both make balms similar to this, too. Burt's is a fraction of the price, though. This has nice, natural ingredients in it, and it's occlusive nature traps the moisture in your skin, so your skin doesn't dehydrate. If your skin can tolerate the oils and natural waxes in this, it makes an excellent moisturizer for winter. I personally would only use it at night. I haven't used it yet as a cuticle cream, but I bet it works well for this purpose, also. A note that this product is targeted a the "mature" crowd, but younger skins that dehydrate or are on the dry side should check this one out.

At this point, an investment in Vandelay Industries is probably safer than one in Maurice Jones-Drew. The life of a latex salesman is one of pride, and supreme importance.
All along throughout Maurice Jones-Drew's holdout whenever Jaguars head coach Mike Mularkey has said something about the league's leading rusher in 2011 not being the starter even if he does report on Day X, his words have been treated as though they're about as real as oh, I dunno, a creature that secures the freshness of your pizza. Previously we assumed that since the Jags still employed a quarterback who treats the pocket like his own personal black hole, and since their first-round pick Justin Blackmon was late getting to camp too, a parade would be thrown for Jones-Drew upon his arrival, and it would quite literally be the greatest day in franchise history.
Then something odd started to take shape in Jacksonville. For the first time in a long time, good things were happening, and the Jaguars have started to get this crazy and maybe legitimate idea that they can win without MJD. Blaine Gabbert is looking competent (and sometimes even confident), Blackmon reported to camp and has provided the rare combination of size and speed that was expected when he was made a top-five pick, and Rashad Jennings has rushed for 175 yards over three preseason games while averaging 4.9 yards per carry.
So maybe they don't need Jones-Drew after all, and neither should you.

Anyone know a good program to download foreign music? or perhaps a website with direct dl? o_O
Limewire isn't that good for japanese music nor chinese music, i've tried. I really wanna find chinese music... :(
I think a site called Z-Degrees.net (don't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure that's it) has a plethora of asian music.
I addicted to SG Wannabe and Clazziquai at the moment.
Korean music for the win...
I can't remember the last American artist that I listened too. I find that any English speaking artist that I do listed to are from the eighties. Actually I mostly listen to Japanese music from the 70,80, and early 90's. All across the the world there seems a general stagnation of quality music. With the only good music coming out from artist who are already established. There seems to be only a few acceptations to the rules.This is my own opinion, so I know everybody has different taste when it comes to music.
No one makes music better than the Americans.
Personally I think Antarctican music is much better.
Try some Filipino music.. dont worry our pop really sucks, but the rock scene is good. here are some bands to check if anyone is interested
or visit rakista.com
Since you think American music sucks, Filipino music will definitely suck for you. Filipino rock is just a low-grade degenerate copy of American music, and most of them are just rip-offs and sound the same.
Anyway, the UK definitely.
Its better to go back in the past, then look to other countries for music. Just avoid mtv.
But yeah,
I prefer jpop over American music any day =P

Little 2-year-old Katie Barkley, the daughter of Ryan and Katelynn Barkley, is on life support in T.C. Thompson Children's hospital. She was in an auto accident in February with her mother and suffered a damaged spinal cord, broken cervical 1-4, and a broken collar bone and arm.
The toddler had emergency surgery to remove a large blood clot on her brain and a recent MRI indicates the left brain is dead. This means she will not be able to move her right side even if her spinal cord recovers. She is on a breathing machine and feeding tube, facing possible paralysis and may even have to depend on a feeding tube the rest of her life.
The accident happened in McDonald during one of the winter storms which hit the area. Katelynn was on her way to the day care. She said there wasn't much snow on the road, so she was doing the speed limit when she hit black ice. She felt the tires slide, then the car went down a hill and ran into a tree. Katie was strapped in her car seat in the back seat of the car and Barkley said all she heard was silence. She said she thought her little girl was dead. Mother and daughter were taken by ambulance to the hospital. Barkley suffered a shattered heel, but for Katie, it was worse. Barkley said if she had have known the roads were so bad, she would have stayed home.
Makesha Parker happened to stop at the scene of the accident and seeing little Katie caused her to take an interest in this family.
"I was very concerned for Katie's life," Parker said. "I had my friends on Facebook keep an eye out for any status concerning an accident in McDonald involving a little girl."
Finally one of Parker's friends found Katie's page and Parker made contact with the mother. She has since met her in person, at the Ronald McDonald House, where Barkley is staying while Katie is at T.C. Thompson. The Barkleys have a 5-year-old son, also.
But a place will have to be found for Katie when she leaves T.C. Thompson. She was denied rehab to Scottish Rite in Atlanta and also denied by Shriners Hospitals for Children.
An update on Facebook brought hope: A rehabilitation facility in New Jersey is willing to accept her as long as her mom's insurance goes through. And Barkley said she should know something about that within a few days. "If they do accept her," she said, "they'd need Ryan to come up every weekend, whether by car or plane so that's something needing to be figured out." Whether the rehab denies her due to insurance or not, they need a house soon because when Katie gets to come home, their apartment will not be suitable for her needs.
"When I came in today, Katie was sitting in a wheelchair rather than in a bed — a huge improvement. She sat in it 20 minutes before being put back in bed." An eye specialist as well as a specialist who works on testing her swallowing ability will see Katie soon so they can know how much she really is seeing and when she'll be able to eat food without a tube.
In addition to the medical expenses, the family has other financial needs as well. Although they pray for a miracle, the bills are a reality. Currently there is a Facebook page devoted to Katie's recovery with more than 1,800 likes.
The Facebook page is titled "Pray for 2 year old Katie Barkley." Visit this page to learn more about Katie's story. Any financial contributions are greatly appreciated.
Update a week ago:
"Katie made several spontaneous movements today. Course the nurses are trying to make it seem not as amazing as it is. I'd be just sitting talking to her and she'd move her leg up or move her toes. (The) majority of rehab [facilities, according to] the case manager, say 'no' because of Katie's being on a vent or because Katie doesn't respond to commands. I had given her some more (places) that were given to me this morning and she called me about 10 minutes ago saying they all said 'no' for the same reason. She's waiting to hear back from three of them. She is saying if these decline her as well that she won't be trying anymore because if the bigger, well known places all say 'no,' then the not so well known places will probably say the same. She said in that case if she hears from these last few and they all say 'no,' we will be trained on Katie's machinery, and after fully trained that they may be able to live with Katie in the hospital for a short time to watch us and make sure that we are doing what we learned correctly and if so they will send Katie home. Our home is still not suitable by any means for her condition or her machines. So please pray we find a rehab or a home that is suitable for her to go to soon."
Update on Tuesday:
"Should hear something hopefully today about the rehab in Baltimore. ... Hope it's good news. I pray this one or New Jersey will take her. Please Lord please."

Description Facilities Map Important Information Tranquility Guest House is situated just 30 minutes south of Cape Town and nestles between two mountains and two oceans along the False Bay coast. Set high up on a mountainside, it boasts magnificent sea and mountain views, and is within walking distance to the beach. Since its opening, Tranquility has been inundated with people who love a delightful place to be and a place where refreshment and restoration are not hard to find, including warm South African hospitality. Open the mountain door and, if you are feeling energetic, take a walk in Table Mountain National Park, amidst the indigenous fynbos, to Elsie's Peak, where the views are unbelievable and False Bay lies before you from Strandfontein to Cape Point; or within a few minutes' walk to Fish Hoek's beautiful, long, white, sandy beach, one of the safest and warmest swimming beaches in the Cape; and its equally famous whale-watching promenade, Jaegers Walk, where from July to October, whales loll just 50 metres from the shore in preparation for mating and giving birth and huge schools of dolphins may be nearby. Visitors are sometimes treated to the sight of the local fishermen 'trekking' (the Dutch word for pulling) for haarders and yellowtail fish just off the beach. Smell the salt in the air, feel the sand between your toes and breathe in the fresh mountain air. If you're hungry, why not try the fish shop across from the BP garage in the village, renowned by Capetonians across the Peninsula for its delicious fish and chips. If it is exercise you are looking for and you have a bike or a good pair of shoes, the road to Kalk Bay or to Simon's Town is the perfect one to hit. With waves crashing below you on one side and mountains towering above you on the other, your senses become intoxicated with just being alive. Kalk Bay, with its famous fishing Harbour; its own version of Petticoat Lane: junk shop after junk shop filled with bric-a-brac and "antiques" and of course its famous cafés and restaurants – not to mention 'Olympia Café and Deli', known for its good food and its fresh pastries - is only around the cove. Historical Simon's Town, its naval base and museums, its famous dog - St. Just Nuisance – and its boat trip to see the now famous breaching of the Great White Shark; as well as Boulder's Beach - swimming with the penguins - are a twelve minute car ride away and a twenty minute ride by car will have you at the most south westerly point of Africa at Cape Point, a natural World Heritage Site, where the cold Benguela current on the West coast and the warm Agulhus current on the East coast merge. The guest house is ten minutes by car from the internationally renowned Chapman's Peak Drive and the oldest wine route in the Cape, the Constantia Vineyards, the first, a perfect vantage point to watch the sun go by and the second, a great outing for a rainy day, where anything from wine to olives can be enjoyed. The guest house is 45 minutes away from Cape Town International Airport and centrally disposed to all of Cape Town's tourist attractions, the perfect guest house for one day tours to Cape Town city-centre, the V&A Waterfront, and Table Mountain; Hermanus; the Cape Winelands and the West Coast National Park to see the flowers. Should you be a golfing enthusiast, your wife shall have the privilege of waking up and looking out her window to catch you, in time, teeing off of your first hole – with binoculars, of course – at the famous Clovelly Country Club just across the valley. What is tranquility? A luxurious and exclusive guest house where food is our passion, the tranquility addictive and the attention to detail our gift. Where you leave the bustle of the valley below and you rest beneath the crag of a mountain; you lie in bed watching the sunrise and you hear the Cape francolins announcing the start of a new day; you linger by the fireside eating a delicious home-cooked breakfast and you soak up the sun on your private deck whilst reading your favourite book; you take Rosie, our border collie, for a walk to the beach or up Elsie's Peak and you become one with nature and smell the fresh flowers; you watch whales frolic in the bay and you gaze in awe at the breathtaking views of the valley, mountains and sea; you lie in the Jacuzzi on the mountain deck beneath the stars and you relax in a candle-lit bath spellbound by the moonlight; you feel the warmth of hospitality and you enjoy the pleasures of Tranquility. It is the most peaceful state of mind. So why not come and stay at a guest house which has something for everyone and plenty of soul too. May Tranquility touch your soul.

Follow-Up Postings:
From every thing that I've read, everybody says, and I tend to agree, you get what you pay for. I was looking at a nordic track at sears until I found out they were made by Proform, and most of the feedback I found on Proform was negative. I ended up buying a Vision Fitness 6200HRT, it was a little pricey, 2000.00 but we had a 20% off coupon. I've been using it for about a month now and love it. Check the warranty that comes with what ever machine you decide on, as a general rule the better the warranty the better th machine. |
You get what you pay for. Any of the ProForm machines (NordicTrack, Weslo, Weider, etc.) are fairly cheaply built, but they usually last long enough for people to get disinterested in using them. If you get into the $1500+ range, you start looking at some good machines (LifeFitness, Nautilus, etc.). Probably the two biggest 'bargains' out there for cardio equipment are the Schwinn Air-Dyne ($600 or so), and the Concept2 Rower ($800). These are built like bricks, and last forever. |
I've had a Proform eliptical for 3 years now & love it. Is it as good as a gym elliptical? No, but I still get a great workout on it, it's small & fits in my den nicely, it's fun to use & it does the job. Worth every penny of the $360 bucks I paid for it. |
I hope it's ok to post to this old thread - but need some advice and noticed kokomo was talking about using a rower. I have an old Nordictrack - without any of the dials or goodies - from a friend who was tossing it out. I use it everyday and would also like to work on my upper body flab and thought maybe the rower would be good for that. $800 is over my budget tho. Would appreciate any advice on this. Thanks. |

Lime Shrimp Kabobs
Lime Shrimp Kabobs
Recipe Summary
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Number of servings: 2
- 3 large limes
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, cleaned and chopped
- 10 medium cherry tomatoes, rinsed and dried
- 10 small white button mushrooms, wiped clean and stems removed
- 16 large shrimp, uncooked, deveined
In a glass measuring cup, squeeze limes, yielding 1/4 cup of juice. Add the garlic, pepper, olive oil, and cilantro, and stir. Place the shrimp in a medium bowl, and pour the cilantro-lime marinade over the shrimp. Let the shrimp marinate for 10 to 15 minutes in the refrigerator (do not let them marinate for more than 30 minutes as the acid of the juice will alter the texture of the shrimp).
While waiting, alternate cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, and shrimp on four skewers.
Grill the skewers over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until the shrimp are just cooked through.
