A generous XDA member has hooked us up with a leak. They can be referred to as the Anti-Plumber, with more leaks than the Super Mario bros!
Brought to you by: Anti-Plumber
Keep in mind that in flashing this, you:
-Cannot go back to 4.3. Even if you restore a backup, the system will not boot.
-Cannot update via OTA since it will be for those on MJ4.
-You really cannot go back after flashing NAB. This is official software without an engineering bootloader (for now).
NC5 Specifics:
Going from NAB to NC5 with the updater zip, this means that it is no longer possible to go back to prior bootloaders and Android versions, such as Android 4.3. Once the software is finalized and official, I will attempt to preserve the engineering bootloader with a flashable file i will make myself. So if you want to wait on that, I would suggest not flashing this, as I cannot verify the ability to downgrade after you've got an official 4.4.2 bootloader. Any attempts to downgrade is at your own risk, and cannot be officially supported in this thread.
NC5D Specifics:
NC5D you ask? Yeah, there's an update from NC5 to NC5D. I have no idea what this means for us but I can only assume it's something...cool.....maybe. Below steps apply. You need to be on official NAB of course.
NC5(D) Instructions: (MOST RECENT)
Make sure to be on official NAB (by flashing the NAB tar from Odin so that your binary and system are both official.)
After you're on NAB, copy SM-N900P_NAB_to_NC5.zip to your EXTERNAL SD. When done, power off your phone, and boot into STOCK recovery. From there, use the down arrows to select install from external then press the power button to confirm. Scroll down and select the copied zip, and press power to confirm.
If you have signature verification errors, you may need to reflash MJ4. It could be one of the following:
-Either your binary, system, or both are still "custom" in Odin/Android
-Incomplete zip download
-Corrupted zip
If all goes well, congrats!
Update zip: SM-N900P-NAB-to-NC5
MD5: b89fbe8ae40d6a854dcb742c274c83af
Update zip: SM-N900P-NC5-to-NC5D
MD5: cc023eab9a2f799af43837cb6541e566

'The Lamido magic that stopped Fulani-farmers conflicts in Jigawa'
Clashes between pastoralists and farmers are worsening in many parts of the country due to disputes over grazing reserves and water sources but the Jigawa State administration under Sule Lamido is far ahead of all others in tackling this social problem. The state government has established 400 grazing reserves, 50 of which have already been gazetted. Grazing reserves tend to be merely unattended bush in other places, but, in Jigawa State, Lamido has seen to it that they are equipped with facilities such as windmills, power pumps and boreholes as well as improved grass and resting facilities.

Read More →Apapa/Oshodi traffic snarl: The Agony Continues
THE Yuletide is over,
but the traffic gridlock
experienced by Lagosians, especially road users of the ever-busy Oshodi-Apapa expressway and the Apapa environs, remains.
Towards the end of last year, the perennial traffic snarl which crippled vehicular and commercial activities on the road worsened, as drivers of petroleum tanker and articulated vehicles heading towards and out of the Apapa ports, as well as tank farms located on the road, took over the road .
Road users' hope for solace any time soon, may have been dashed, as Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State has declared that the situation might continue unless the Federal Government takes certain necessary measures.
Bothered by the activities of tanker drivers and operators of articulated vehicles on the road, as well as the ongoing reconstruction of the road by the Federal Government, through the construction giant, Julius Berger Plc, the state government had over the years taken steps in collaboration with other agencies to find tangible results to the situation.
Fashola, severally gave ultimatums to oil firms to re-organise their operations by refraining their clients from parking on the highway which had continued to paralyse business activities in the axis, especially along Oshodi-Apapa and Ijora-Apapa axis.
Necessary measures were actually put in place to ensure compliance with the state Road Traffic Law 2014. Unfortunately, the horrible situation seems to have defied all solutions.
Fashola in company of some stakeholders visited Mile 2 and Apapa environs severally to assess the causes of the traffic gridlock in the area with a view to finding lasting solution.
Despite promises made to the governor by members of the Petroleum Tanker Drivers, PTD, and drivers of articulated vehicles to address the situation, they have not budged.
Comrade Tayo Aboyeji, the Zonal Public Relations Officer of PTD, who met with the governor, actually pleaded for time to change their ways with a pledge to free the roads leading in and out of Apapa.
Speaking at an interactive session with media executives, recently, in his Alausa, Ikeja office, Fashola attributed the problem to the failure of the Federal Government policy on distribution of petroleum products.
Fashola said: "The first
thing to understand was that the responsibility of the state government is traffic management on that axis. But the problem on that road comes from the tankers and containerized trucks which come to the ports to lift fuel and others. I don't manage the port and I don't discharge fuel. So it is inaccurate to say that we are not doing enough to solve the challenges faced on that road or that we have lost the battle.
"The problem from the port was that vehicles that used to park inside the port have been driven out by the concessionaires and they have no option than to park on the road in order to gain access into the port.
"The information from within the ports was that there was no enough cargo handling equipment inside the port. So the turnaround time per vehicle is longer and slower. Anyone who puts that burden on us was doing that inappropriately.
"It is a Federal Government responsibility. The Tin-Can Island road that would have helped reduce the traffic belongs to the apex government. If they finish fixing it, it will bring relief. But we need to understand that the relief will only last for a short time. No nation delivers that kind of cargo by road. With the huge load transported on that road, there is no construction done on that road that will last, until we move those cargoes through rail. The rail tracks are available in that axis.
"The Europeans built them, but with coordinated plan, political will and clarity of purpose, we can move all these huge cargoes on rail. If you visit that axis today, you will still find the Agip, NNPC and other fuel wagons in the yard. So, we can do it if there was political will. But unfortunately, the rail the current administration embarked upon was for political demonstration," explained Fashola.
Giving a breakdown of the number of users of the port, he disclosed that no less than 3, 000 tankers and at least 1, 000 articulated vehicles enter the ports daily, noting that their only mission is to lift fuel, diesel and kerosene, while the trailers visit the port to transport fish, rice, vegetable oil and others and the people are the ones consuming the commodities.
Continuing, the governor said: "That is not a bad thing. If you have 4,000 trucks daily visiting a place, any government that really loves its citizens must ensure that they move those things by rail.
It is bad economics because the Apapa roads had been constructed several times and after few months, the road gave way again.
"The fact that it is moving today is a credit to us because we are managing a very difficult situation. My hearts goes out to the residents and business owners in Apapa.
But when you see that traffic, one is only seeing the symptoms of a profound failure of port and oil management. And these are the responsibility of the central government," he lamented
PTD reacts
However, reacting, the
Zonal Public Relations Officer of PTD, Tayo Aboyeji, told Vanguard that the trailer park would not accommodate petroleum tankers as it was meant only for dry cargoes.
Aboyeji lamented the difficulty and the hostile environment the tanker drivers were operating in, in the absence of a convenient place to park their vehicles despite the essential services they were rendering to the citizens and the nation's economy.
He however, blamed the situation on the failure of the federal government to properly manage the ports and the granting of licenses to private business concerns to site tank farms indiscriminately along the Apapa environ.
His words: "There are over 15 tank farms around the Coconut area alone all in Apapa. Our members have to drive long distances from different parts of the country to Apapa in Lagos to lift products. This shouldn't be so. Why can't we have depots in other places to free Apapa?"
The PTD image-maker stated that the union is currently discussing with a private investor for a land deal in Amuwo-Odofin area where they hope to jointly develop as parking lot for petroleum tankers. This he said would at least reduce the pressure on Apapa axis.

Music Business Follows Health Trend With New Beverage Partnerships
By Andrew Hampp, New York
Just as Beyoncé and Taylor Swift have become the respective new faces of Pepsi and Diet Coke, a new, healthier trend has emerged with music and beverages. Artists and music executives are becoming the faces and equity partners in a series of new bottled water and healthy beverages, to both align their names with a growing segment and distance themselves from the mounting controversy associated with soda endorsements.
Last week, Sean "Diddy" Combs and Mark Wahlberg announced an investment in premium water AQUAhydrate to help boost its distribution at retail and make the product a go-to for fit, active party people. This week, kid-targeted Wat-AAH! is debuting a campaign with new spokespeople (and equity partners) the OMG Girlz, a teenage R&B/hip-hop girl group managed by music industry veteran Michael Mauldin (a former senior executive at Columbia and So So Def). March also sees the Southern California debut of Pop Water, a new flavored, low-calorie water backed by Lady Gaga manager Troy Carter, with plans for a broader rollout later this year.
And this summer, music veteran/-entrepreneur Kevin Liles will introduce GoInside, a bottled tea product to be distributed exclusively in more than 8,000 Walgreens stores. The product is geared toward "empowering icons to leverage their cultural relevance and brand equity within the beverage industry and packaged goods," according to a company representative, which Liles suggests may materialize itself in personalities like one of his 15 management clients (Nelly, Big Sean, Trey Songz and Estelle among them).
Music's emergence at the center of this healthy-beverage craze had its highest-profile advocate with rapper 50 Cent, who made upwards of $100 million for his minority stake in vitaminwater when it was sold to Coca-Cola in 2007. Then in spring 2011, Beyoncé made headlines when she joined first lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move campaign and filmed an athletic music video for a reworked version of her 2006 hit "Get Me Bodied," retitled "Move Your Body." The viral clip was sponsored in part by Wat-AAH!, a premium bottled water marketed to kids founded in 2008 that aligned with Let's Move to encourage more water consumption among schoolchildren. And in many ways, having Beyoncé become the face of the movement was a major breakthrough for Wat-AAH! founder/CEO Rose Cameron.
The partnership between Let's Move and Beyoncé was renewed through 2012, but came to a rather abrupt standstill when the singer announced in December that she was realigning with Pepsi as part of a creative fund and media campaign valued at $50 million that would make her the global face of the soda. Though Beyoncé got a much-buzzed-about Super Bowl halftime performance out of the partnership and a forthcoming global commercial, a significant amount of media backlash quickly followed—particularly a widely read New York Times column headlined "Why Do Stars Think It's O.K. to Sell Soda?"
And with soft drink sales facing year-over-year declines since 2005, there's more opportunity for healthier alternatives to steal market share. Bottled water sales grew 4%-5% last year to U.S. revenue of $14 billion, while bottled teas grew 4%-5% to $6.3 billion—mere fractions of the $76 billion that carbonated sodas banked in 2012, according to Beverage Digest, but still room for growth.

Each year, more than 21 million Americans are diagnosed with clinical depression, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood conditions often not even seen as a medical illness, but as something imagined or self-inflicted. Depression strikes one in four women and one of every eight men at some point in their lifetimes.
The Misunderstood Epidemic: Depression, the latest documentary from filmmaker and best-selling author, Susan Polis-Schutz, is a national portrait of one of Americas least understood mental illnesses told through firsthand accounts from victims of depression and their families.
Polis-Schutz reveals the accounts of people who suffer the lowest depths of depression in this film, which took her three years to complete. Through the victims stories, the film explores how depression can happen to anyone regardless of age, race, or socioeconomic background. One by one the victims tales are unraveled: symptoms; suicide; the stigma and lack of understanding; the stress in families and relationships; the loss of ability to work or function in school. The director takes a hard look at the pros and cons of medication, different forms of therapy, and support groups.
A community discussion will follow the 60-minute film. Panelists include Jerry Quick and Shannon Jacuzzi of Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance Arkansas. Information will also be made available about the website www.mymoodmonitor.com.
Additionally, AETN has developed a website, www.aetn.org/depression, with resources, videos and answers to common questions about depression.
The Misunderstood Epidemic: Depression is produced by IronZeal Films, presented by KPBS and distributed by American Public Television (APT). The film will air on AETN Tuesday, May 18, at 7 p.m., followed by House Calls Depression, an AETN production with host T. Glenn Pait, M.D., director, Jackson T. Stephens Spine & Neurosciences Institute, and host of the UAMS series Heres to Your Health. Guests include Laurence Miller, M.D., medical director, Arkansas Department of Human Services, Division of Behavioral Health Services, and Kim Arnold, executive director, National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI) Arkansas. The panel will discuss symptoms, treatment, medication and its side effects, suicide and local and national resources.
The Arkansas Educational Television Network (AETN) is Arkansass statewide public television network that enhances lives by providing lifelong learning opportunities for people from all walks of life. AETN delivers local, award-winning productions and classic, trusted PBS programs aimed at sharing Arkansas and the world with viewers.

Viewpoint: American blowback
Viewpoint: American blowback
By Joe Baker

Senior Editor and

Editor and Publisher
Americans were jolted out of their complacency Tuesday by a horrific, fiery sneak attack on U.S. centers of powerNew York City and Washington, D.C., and the fliers of American skies across the nation.
The belief that this country is impervious to an attack on the mainland of Fortress America was forever shattered. We learned that all our technology could not protect us from an implacable and determined foe.
Holes in our security systems abruptly became glaring. These acts scream of the failure of the overblown American intelligence establishment, FBI, CIA and NSA. The flaws in airline security that had been reported in past years and largely ignored were shrewdly exploited by the perpetrators of this disaster.
We must not let our reaction to these tragedies incinerate our civil liberties over the heat of terrorism. We must be on our guard for what can really burn down our ever-simmering freedoms. They can burst into flames if cooler heads fail to prevail. Our governments control must be controlled.
Our government is largely responsible for bringing this retaliation down on us. Our failed policies and actions towards Arab nations and Israel have fostered violent hatred. The napalmish mixture of Israel, the Palestinians and extremist Islamic groups is overheated. We should not abandon the Arabs or Israel.
Yet Israel, as should the U.S., must realize that creating more innocent victims does not bring our innocent victims back to life. In this firestorm, we must be absolutely certain who did this. Justice cannot be hasty.
Now for the American blowback. Our levels of sadness and anger are still muted in the immediacy of shock. Many remarks have been made that these terrorist acts are acts of war. Will our reaction play into greedy hands waiting for more blood? These sick and blood-thirsty hands do not play by the rules of conventional warfare.
What other tragedies will escalate out of these tragedies? How will our relationships with Israel, the Palestinians, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and China be affected?
So fasten your seat belts; this could be the first round in what the Arab bloc calls a Jihada holy war. We now know that we are no longer immune. But how will we act? How will we really know who did this? Can we trust our intelligence agencies to determine who did?
Our prayers go out for all.

Part of this was freeway driving, and our weather here is very mild (temps range from 45-78 degrees all year long.) Also, I have had the tires rotated every 5,000 miles and I check the air pressure with my own tire gauge quite often. I also had the vehicle aligned several times. All of that, and the tire tread is horrible! I should have replaced the tires 5,000 miles ago as that is when it started peeling away all over the tire. Also, the tread has worn very unevenly, it is nearly bald on the edges which would make it appear that they were never rotated or aligned, which is just not so. I am pissed that I spent this much for a crappy tire! The factory installed tires lasted 35,000 miles. Michelin has had all sorts of problems and I think that their quality has deteriorated. I am not buying any more Michelins. If I want a tire that only lasts 20,000 miles I can spend way less than throwing money away on more Michelins.

European Carmakers To Get Serious At Geneva Show
Even if Europe's carmakers were better able to compete on a global stage, their home market is suffering. Car sales across Europe fell for the fifth year in a row in 2012, pulling back another 7.8 percent, according to data from consultancy PwC. Analysts say sales probably won't climb back to the 2007 peak before at least 2020.
One reason for the poor financial performance is idle factory floors. A report by analysts Alix Partners found that at the height of production in 2007, the industry in Europe was only using 83 percent of its capacity. It's expected to be around 75 percent for the next couple of years. One way carmakers in the U.S. have turned around their operations is by dealing with their own overcapacity problem, shutting 18 factories in four years; Europe has yet to bite the bullet.
On top of this, building a car in Europe is more expensive than in many competitor countries thanks to rigid labor agreements that drive up wages and offer generous benefits. Those same agreements also make it difficult to transfer jobs elsewhere.
The high costs of labor and the overcapacity at factories both conspire to eat into profits â¿¿ which could otherwise be re-invested in innovation and technology to capture new customers.
The only way forward, analysts say, is to become leaner by tackling uncompetitive labor regulations and closing factories. This may be harder in some countries than others. In recent months, for instance, the French government and unions have fought plans by PSA Peugeot Citroen to trim its excess capacity by closing its Aulnay plant and eliminate 8,000 jobs. "The principles behind egalite and fraternite and all the rest are great if you can afford it," said Newton of the generous French contracts that also hamper other European manufacturers. "The problem is France really can't afford it when it's competing with people who basically make better products at a cheaper price."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Panthers living wonderful life
After a 1-7 start, Panthers coach John Fox knew he had to change ... nothing. Now they're knocking on the playoffs.
Updated: August 31, 2005, 11:31 AM ET
David Fleming | Page 2
There's a real honest-to-goodness Christmas miracle going on down here with the Carolina Panthers. Even with five of their best players out for the season, even with a QB playing with a mangled sausage thumb, even with a running back who started the season SIXTH on the depth chart (72-year-old Ric Flair is seventh, by the way), the Panthers are somehow in position to become the first team to make the playoffs after starting 1-7.
And as usual, despite a performance worthy of ...

text: UKRAINE, Kiev : Ukraine's embattled leader announced a "truce" with the opposition as he prepared to get grilled by visiting EU diplomats Thursday over clashes that killed 26 and left the government facing diplomatic isolation. US President Barack Obama warned starkly of "consequences" after apocalyptic scenes on Tuesday saw violent pitch battles that left parts of Kiev's historic city centre engulfed in flames.

grandpa was a BAR gunner in WW2. he was drafted in 42 and sent to texas to train specifically for the dday invasion, though he did not know this at the time. dday was also his 26th birthday. he survived the landing without a scratch but was shot in the forearm around the middle of july sometime. as he was retreating to get help (according to what he told my dad, he had to drop his BAR and pretty much carry his arm back to get help) he took cover behind a sherman tank. the tank was hit by some sort of artillery shell or anti tank gun and took shrapnel in his back and neck. when he got back to the aid station they wanted to amputate his arm, but a captured german doctor was able to save it, though he had a limited use of it for the rest of his life. he was then sent to england to heal and start training to invade japan. thank God we nuked those little bastards though cause had we invaded japan i may not be sitting here today. he never talked even once about his experiences to me, just about his training in texas leading up to the invasion. he told my dad a fair amount though and my dad has told me about it. i also had a great grandfather in wwI and either 2 or 3 relatives that fought in the civil war for the confederacy. 1 of which was KIA early in 1863. not sure about anything further back than that.

Red Hat: From Cuddly Penguin to Public Enemy No. 1
Red Hat: From Cuddly Penguin to Public Enemy No. 1
Posted 2006-12-01
Marc Fleury, senior vice president of Red Hat's JBoss division, sounds off on the Red Hat-JBoss integration, including his frustration with the lack of investment in JBoss R&D, plans to evolve the JBoss code base and governance model, and how
BERLINMarc Fleury, senior vice president of Red Hats JBoss division, sat down with eWEEK Senior Editor Darryl K. Taft at the JBoss World conference here Nov. 20-22 and discussed a variety of subjects including increasing the Red Hat investment in JBoss R&D, evolving the JBoss code base and governance model, hiring, technology, and the Red Hat "cuddly penguin" growing some teeth.
Whats been going on with the JBoss folks for the last six months? Its been quiet.
Its been quiet. Its been a little bit too quiet for my tastes. So weve been working on the integration with Red Hat. Sales has been integrated. R&D hasnt been impacted, and were trying to grow this operation.
The integration was difficult work so far.
Click here
to read more about Red Hats acquisition of JBoss.
Yeah, well, you know what your haters are saying
What are they saying?
Theyre saying you guys just went to ground, that you just took the money and ran.
Well, the products that were putting out right now just prove this wrong. Theres been tremendous work on the AS [application server] 5 release in terms of clustering, the microcontainer being completely revamped to a POJO [Plain Old Java Objects] microcontainer that is state of the art and works on other platforms. Theres been a lot of work around the ESB [Enterprise Service Bus] effort and jBPM [Java Business Process Management]. Tom Baeyens [a JBoss core developer] is on fire with jBPM. And Gavin [King, a JBoss core developer] is on fire with Seam. This whole team is putting out some of the most exciting technologies in the Web landscape period, not just Java. On the flip side, Ill say I went to Red Hat to get an investment in the JBoss R&D division to grow it quickly. That still really hasnt happened. Thats a bit of a point of frustration for me personally. But thats going to happen, because now we have to grow our stack and we have to grow it fast in light of the competition at the Linux level. And theyre all competing with us because they want to slow down our momentum in middleware. So thats maybe where people are spreading rumors that the middleware has ground to a halt. But clearly what we should do as Red Hat is in fact accelerate this middleware movement. So were working on that.
JBoss has been a part of Red Hat for six months now. How are things working? Are you being given marching orders by the operating system folks, or vice versa? Who is wagging the dog?
I have no power. This is not my company. I have sold my company. So me personally, I am not wagging the dog. But Im irrelevant in this equation. The important thing is that the developers are continuing their work unencumbered. And I hope it continues this way, because when all is said and done, Red Hat management is all about OS, not about middleware. And I would hate for them to get in their own way with respect to development. I mentioned earlier that Im a little bit disappointed that there is still no significant investment in the R&D division. We invested in sales, support and marketing, but this is really the operational side. The R&D really hasnt benefited from a huge investment for which I was hoping and was the main reason I went to Red Hat. The flip side of that is they havent really gotten in the way yet. There have been some rumblings and sometimes we clash because there are different cultures and different approaches to open source. So its not the huge positive I was hoping for; its not the negative that it could be if they really got in the way. Right now its neutral and I think an investment is whats needed, and were still waiting for that.

Leonard: Girls like Penny never end up with guys who own time machines.
Sheldon: I disagree. Your inability to successfully woo Penny long predates your acquisition of the time machine. That failure clearly stands on its own.
Leonard: Thanks for pointing it out.
Sheldon: In addition, your premise is flawed. In the original film, Rod Taylor got Yvette Mimieux with that very time machine. In Back to the Future, Marty McFly got the opportunity to hook up with his extremely attractive young mother.
Leonard: Those are movies.

Leonard: Because I want to go back and keep myself from getting a time machine.
Sheldon: You can't. If you were to prevent yourself from buying it in the past, you would not have it available in the present - travel back and stop yourself from buying it, ergo you would still have it. This is a classic rookie time travel mistake.
Leonard: Can I go back and prevent you from explaining that to me?

Ice cream can be served any number of ways—in a cone, as a sandwich, or just scooped right into your mouth by some guy in a truck. Have it your way with this Groupon.
$8 for Five Regular-Size Ice-Cream Cones ($16.25 Value)
Old-fashioned sugar or wafer cones arrive heaped with selections from 24 classic and seasonal flavors of Oregon-made ice cream.
Serendipity Ice Cream
Though architectural flourishes once called attention to their Gilded Age opulence, these days the entrance and lobby of the historic Cook's Hotel bear the egalitarian trappings of a turn-of-the-century ice-cream parlor. These welcoming sights are just one part of Serendipity Ice Cream's core mission. Operating as a division of Mid-Valley Rehabilitation—a nonprofit dedicated to providing employment, residential, and transportation services to adults with disabilities—the parlor gives the center's clients the chance to get real-world work experience and independence. Here, staffers scoop 24 classic and seasonal flavors of Oregon-made ice cream into handmade waffle cones, sundaes, floats, shakes, and banana splits. Sugar-free ice cream and dairy-free sorbets attend to special diets alongside treats such as soups and made-from-scratch cookies baked fresh daily. In addition to the sky-high cones and friendly service, old-fashioned candy, glass-bottled retro sodas, and teenagers who settle their differences by dancing add to the parlor's period feel.
"love this place, quaint good ice cream local people.."
"It is a fantastic place and very good ice cream"
"Great people, great place, great location. Simply a great place to go have some really good ice cream and watch the world go by. It's always a treat to stop by. "

The Essential 8
Success in any sport can be directly attributed to certain characteristics or talents. Ultimate performance is dependent on having mastered or having been born with a large percentage of these characteristics. In other words the more weaknesses that occur in any of the essential categories the more difficult it would be to experience a high level of success. Now of course success is relative to the goals and aspirations so I am referring to success at the top of the game.
In a recent discussion I was challenged with naming the most important characteristics or traits needed to be successful in gymnastics. Keeping in mind that gymnastics was recently named the number one most difficult sport in the world, these characteristics need to be honed, refined and near the top percentile of excellence if we are to expect ultimate success. Below ...
Social Events
I just had a lengthy discussion with a colleague concerning the pro's and cons of allowing serious gymnasts to participate in the plethora of social events that arise throughout the year. Does allowing your athletes to participate indicate a lack of commitment or discipline? At what point does missing training for social events start having an adverse impact on your program?
Believe me when I say my current stance on this issue has evolved and done a complete about face over the past 25 years. "No you can't go to a football game, dance or birthday party, we have practice!" would have been my answer some years ago. Over time it became obvious to me that the nuclear fallout that followed enforcement of this hard lined policy was not nearly worth the aggravation. Close evaluation of a more lenient approach revealed that happier athletes were more productive lo...
I am spending the weekend directing one of our Regional Hot Shot Training Camps. In watching and directing there always seems to be things that strike me as needing attention. Usually the weaknesses present themselves in areas that most simply take for granted. In being a coach that has always preached details makes the difference, I feel this is a message that needs to be driven home more often.
In past blogs I have addressed the importance of a proper warm up and how it sets the pace for training. The benefits of a proper warm up go far beyond just getting the body loose for sports participation. A detailed warm up establishes a standard of excellence from the very moment the training begins. Great warm ups enforce perfection, effort, stylization, and discipline. This carries over to the event training to come later.
Anyone who has ever attended a National Team Train...
Dealing With Jealousy
Jealousy is an innate human trait. It lives and breathes in every gym and can be quite destructive if left un-managed.
Wikipedia states: Jealousy is an emotion, and the word typically refers to the negative thoughts and feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety over an anticipated loss of something of great personal value, particularly in reference to a human connection. Jealousy often consists of a combination of emotions such as anger, resentment, inadequacy, helplessness and disgust. In its original meaning, jealousy is distinct from envy, though the two terms have popularly become synonymous in the English language with jealousy now taking on the definition originally used for envy.
In using this as the base of reasoning we can start with the person responsible for the "envy" or causing the jealousy. In a team situation these people are often times considered ...
The Essence of Leadership
Blog: The Essence of Leadership
Here is a blog article that ran in the USECA Newsletter. If you are looking for a great organization that provides lots of coaching tips and advice, check out the US Elite Coaches Association.
I have stated many times that the technical aspects of our sport are attainable and within the reach of any aspiring coach. It is the application of this knowledge, and how you lead your troops that truly separates the good from the great. Much has been written on the topic of leadership in relationship to success, but H.A. Dorfman's Coaching the Mental Game, nails it. In his book he outlines the characteristics of a great leader and it is quite interesting how easily you can see these traits in the most successful coaches in our sport. Mary Lee Tracy, Valarie Liukin, Kelly Hill, Tony Gehman, Todd Gardner immediately came to mind as I read...
8 Tips for Developing Balance
8 Helpful Hints for Developing Balance
I bet you thought I was going to be discussing balance beam tips… Nope
Some athletes and coaches (and parents) fall into the trap of thinking that Gymnastics is Life rather than simply a sport which can be used for the betterment of. They pour heart and sole into becoming the best they can be. They are willing to sacrifice whatever is needed to reach their lofty goals and aspirations. This attitude is common amongst the high achievers of the world. The commitment to total dedication is commendable but balance in life is key to long term success not only within the sport itself but more importantly LIFE.
Gymnastics is an age limited sport. The transition from cartwheels to real adult life dictates that we place importance on developing balance between sport and the things that will matter most years down the r...
A Trip Down Under
A few months back my wife Kathryn and I were invited to present at a coaches seminar in Sydney Australia. At the time we wondered how in the world we could squeeze a 10 day trip into our already hectic schedules, especially with the competitive season looking us square in the eye. Squeeze we did and in hind sight we could not be happier.
New South Wales was hosting the event and they covered every detail with class and precision. We have presented at many seminars and congresses but have to say that the Australians really know how to make you feel at home. From the onset it was very apparent that the coaches in attendance were passionate and hungry for knowledge. It was so refreshing seeing wide eyed coaches soaking up every bit of information they could.
During the 4 day seminar we presented sessions ranging from beginner to advanced, covered the events, dance, conditioning, compl...
I am not sure most professional coaches fully understand their role in educating their athletes. Many fell into the role of coach due to their love of children and of course the sport itself. Step by step the enormous responsibility unfolded before us. Coaching=Educating.
Sport provides us with the perfect classroom but it is not the related teaching of physical skills that should fill the curriculum. It is the life lessons that can be learned that make sports so valuable.
Twistars upper level athletes have just finished a 5 chapter course on developing and building a strong mind. These tools will be invaluable not only in assisting the athlete with better training and performance BUT also as tools that can be used in life outside of the gym ... forever.

10X Rule
Blog: 10X Rule of Greatness
I am spending the weekend at yet another Region 5 Hot Shot Training Camp. This has always been my favorite age group to watch and work with. There is something about wide eyed youthful enthusiasm combined with idea sharing coaches that inspires me. Our Hot Shot camp is set for 3 days of honing and improving on the core basics. The athletes are absorbing the information like little "Sponge Bobs". I love it.
My role this weekend is camp director. I have the pleasure of floating amongst the 7 groups and offering my 2 cents on anything that might look like it needs attention. For the most part I find that the coaches are right on track with their corrections, and technical knowledge. But then again that has always been the easy part of coaching.
With the wonderful education system that we have within...

- How would you count numbers if you were just counting?
Ains, twai, threis, fidwor, etc... ? Or would you just use the neuter:
ain, twa, thrija, fidwor...?
Likewise, what if you were counting objects, like in english "object
one, object two, object three..."? Would it agree with the noun? I
feel like the numbers should be in some kind of singular form rather
than as plural adjectives in this context.
I've been wondering about this for awhile, so any help would be much
appreciated. Thanks. - --- In email@example.com, "llama_nom" <600cell@...> wrote:

OK, but when used with masculine nouns it should be used. Shouldn't a

some greek influence on pronunciation (as one website suggests), for
instance hails should have been hel (or el) [(h)e:l] but he said it
as iel coz he didn't use long vowels in his greek dialect. And his
short e was broken into ie. If that's correct words such as thiine,
breen etc. shouldn't have any long vowel.

other (bruder, bars etc.) Is it the same with g (e.g. goltz), the
word for cry was written as eriten but shouldn't this be griten, with
g remaining?
I think it's confusing how Busbecq uses the spelling th and tz. If th
is [t] and tz [T] then I wonder why the definite article the and tho
as initla [t] and the pronoun [T]. Further could it be presumed that
[T] was kept initlally before vowel and final (e.g. goltz, statz).
I realize that this is now off topic and should probably be discussed
under crimean gothic instead, sorry for that ;)
