The Apprentice: Los Angeles
Stefanie Schaeffer trumps James Sun, wins 'The Apprentice: LA'
By Christopher Rocchio, 04/23/2007
Stefanie Schaeffer
was hired by Donald Trump during last night's finale of NBC's
The Apprentice
: Los Angeles
which featured a live boardroom broadcast from the Hollywood Bowl. The 32-year-old Los Angeles attorney was chosen out of
18 professionals
who competed in a 14-week job interview during
The Apprentice
sixth season, which was also the first to have four finalists instead of two.
"Stefani you've gone under the radar, but you've gotten along with everybody. You're obviously brilliant based on your academic background, your marks, everything you've done, and I want to really commend you," said Trump before revealing she was the winner. "You've done a fantastic job."
While Trump acknowledged he was "a little bit concerned" Stefanie went under the radar for most of the competition, he still decided to hire her during
The Apprentice
finale and fire the show's three other remaining finalists:
Frank Lombardi
, a 27-year-old contracting company founder from Bronx, NY;
James Sun
, a 29-year-old Internet entrepreneur from Seattle, WA; and
Nicole D'Ambrosio
, a 25-year-old commercial real estate corporation owner and broker from Chicago, IL.

"Mr. Trump, I think what you've seen from me is someone who's had the respect of every single one of their team members from Day 1 until today," Stefanie said when answering how she would explain flying under the radar. "I never took credit for other people's ideas. I contributed my own ideas and made sure my team looked good all the time. If someone was falling below the appropriate standard, I made them look good. I filled in the spaces. I made us work as a team. That's what a leader does."
During the broadcast of
The Apprentice
: Los Angeles'
penultimate episode
last Sunday, Stefanie and James were paired together and competed against Frank and Nicole in the season's final task, requiring them to write, direct and produce a 60-second commercial for an air-freshener company. Trump told Frank and Nicole their commercial "wasn't good" and also reminded Frank how he was almost fired during the
competition's first week
. While he loved Frank's "drive," he added there are "certain liabilities" and fired him.

Nicole then met the same fate. During the competition, she developed a relationship with fellow applicant
Tim Urban
, a 24-year-old tutoring company owner from Los Angeles, CA. Trump told Nicole during the finale that while he is a "believer in romance," he's not a "believer in inter-office romance."
"You love Tim, you like Tim... I think that's wonderful. But you know what? I want you to love me more. It's important because I have to be the boss," explained Trump before firing Nicole.
With the competition down to James and Stefanie, The Donald turned to his two children -- Ivanka and Donald Jr. -- who flanked him throughout the finale and much of
The Apprentice
sixth season. Ivanka said she was concerned Stefanie wouldn't be able to work independently of James since the two relied so heavily on each other.
"I function on a daily basis both from a business perspective and a legal perspective. My line of business requires me to be a leader on a daily basis. I lead hundreds of people through complex litigation where millions of dollars are at risk, defending people just like your father," answered Stefanie. "I was the driving force of our team from Day 1. I was not only a creative force, I was the glue that held our team together."
Donald Jr. criticized James for not being able "to see the big picture," especially during the final task, when Donald Jr. thought James "got lucky" when he became "so focused on one aspect of the video" that he "almost forgot about everything else." While James tried to explain he's the "visionary and strategist" of his Internet company, it apparently wasn't enough as he was still fired.
Stefanie was also a popular choice among some of the previously fired women applicants from
The Apprentice
sixth season.
Heidi Androl
, a 26-year-old national/international sales manager from Santa Monica, CA, told Trump she thought Stefani should win. "I love strong women... and Stefani is the epitome of strong women," she said.
Kristine Lefebvre
, a 37-year-old attorney from Los Angeles, CA, agreed.
"I think it's the year of the woman," she said. "You don't have to scream the loudest to be the strongest, and I think watching Stefani from afar, she really led in a silent way -- if we want to say that -- but I think she kept the frat boys under control."
For winning
The Apprentice
: Los Angeles
, Stefanie will receive a $250,000 salary for being employed by The Donald as she will oversee the construction of Trump at Cap Cana, a luxurious resort complex in the Dominican Republic that includes a beach club, condominium hotel, private villas, a golf course and 68 private estates.
"I believe I bring not only a legal and business background to it, but also coming at it from the point of view of being in construction, having been counsel for developers in construction, I understand it from the ground up," explained Stefanie.
Stefanie was the only the second female to win
The Apprentice
, following in the footsteps of
Season 3 winner
Kendra Todd.
The Apprentice
sixth season finale was also the
first to be filmed
outside of New York, as the series' entire season was
filmed on the west coast
. While Trump
remains optimistic
, NBC has yet to renew
The Apprentice
for a
seventh installment

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (11 votes).
In short: Scenic, great fun, but not for the faint hearted!In full: Really enjoyed this run.Only my 3rd ever 10K. Signed up not realising what I was getting into (kids wanted to do fun run so thought I may as well do the 10K) was a bit alarmed to later read about the hills, and mud and water! BUT although the hills were V challenging, and the rocky/muddy trails ensure it isn't really PB potential I REALLY enjoyed it - much more than a recent local flat 10k road race I did in fact!Date of review: July 24, 2011

Going in to the 2012 fishing season, I knew I was going to be spending much more time on the water. Between guide trips, pre-fishing for tournaments and fun fishing, my schedule told me I would be on the water 4 to 5 days a week. That being said, the forecast for gas prices of $4.00 a gallon, was a huge concern for me.
On an average day of pre-fishing in my boat with a 250 HP outboard, I burn 10 to 20 gallons of gas – by far the biggest expense incurred for me in the sport of fishing. On tournament day or when guiding, it is hard to ignore the fact that time is money, and that the speed at which you get to a fishing spot will net you more time fishing in an 8 hour day. But I did feel that I needed an alternative for pre-fishing and fun fishing. I was determined to get a second boat that could take the edge off of my pre-fishing budget.
When I started shopping, my criterion was simple:
After shopping for a few weeks, I settled on a 16' flat with a modified-V bow – it was equipped with a 40 hp 4 stroke motor. This combo with me, 4 batteries, a full livewell and 150 lbs of miscellaneous fishing gear, is a 30 mph boat. It is plenty fast to get me off the water fast during inclement weather, yet it is a gas miser!
It didn't take me but a week to find out all of the benefits of having a second boat like this. It would be remiss to not touch on each of those benefits that I learned in my first year of running this boat:
I have touched on only a few of the benefits of a second boat. Your imagination is the only limitation. I have friends that run tournaments in older glass boats. To save hours on the big motor and stretch the life out of their glass boat, they only run that boat on tournament day. All of their pre-fishing and fun fishing is from a flat bottom. It is pretty hard to argue that logic as well!
Once you do the math on your fishing expenses and recognize the other benefits of running a second boat, the decision is pretty simple. If you fish more than a couple of times a month, the boat payment is less than your savings – and that is the financial benefit of a flat! It truly can take your game to another level!
Two of the keys to success when fishing for largemouth bass in any lake, are:
A. Determining what seasonal pattern you will be faced with.
B. The location of the highest percentage spots to fish during that seasonal
In the upper Midwest, on both natural lakes and reservoirs, the largemouth bass will begin their migration toward shallow water almost immediately after ice out. The purpose of this migration is twofold - feeding and eventually spawning. If you can locate the best shallow areas, you will be able to follow the fish throughout the spring, and into post-spawn.
My usual research routine starts in the off-season. I like to purchase no less than two different brands of lake maps for each body of water on my tournament schedule. You will find that the detail of maps vary from manufacturer to manufacturer depending on their mapping source, but most information is good information and I will take all I can get! Typically any tournament I have from ice out through the end of May, I can classify as pre-spawn.
I will carefully study these maps, paying particular attention to bays that have shallow flats (under 8' of water) in the northern section of the lake. Ideally, bays with an expansive flat in the northwest portion of the lake will captivate my interest. These bays will see more sunlight and are at least somewhat protected from prevailing winds. I will highlight as many of these flats as possible on my maps, and will check most of them when pre-fishing.
Some of the characteristics that will make a flat special, include:
Defined point/points at the mouth of the bay.
Secondary points within the bay.
A creek channel.
Deep drop-offs or ledges outside the flat.
Inside turns.
Submergent or emergent vegetation.
Stumps or brush-piles.
Rocks or riprap.
When actually on the lake, a surface temperature gauge is a must for determining not a particular temperature, but some of the warmest water you can find. Often you will find the main lake more than 5 degrees colder than a bay. When I start checking the bays I had highlighted on the maps during pre-work, I will start fishing in the warmest areas first and these will most often be dark bottom bays.
Nine times out of ten I will circle the flat within the bay to see the actual layout in comparison to the maps. Then I will zigzag through the flat with the trolling motor on high and throw a swim jig or a spinner-bait. I am doing two things in this process - trying to get bit, and scanning the water looking for baitfish, pan fish and bass.
If I start getting hits or catching fish on the flat, I will begin to refine the pattern. Is the activity I am experiencing coming off of stumps, brush piles, new weed growth or perhaps rocks? When I determine if there is some specific cover or structure on the flat that is producing fish, I slow down and work every similar spot on the flat thoroughly.
If I cannot get the fish to bite, and the flat is void of any visible baitfish or game fish, I will not abandon the area. It is very possible that by late morning or early afternoon this flat could be loaded with fish due to warming water throughout the day. To quantify the productivity of an area you need to move deeper by working your way out of the bay, fishing the secondary points, creek channels, inside turns, ledges and drop-offs (indicated in the map where several contour lines get very close to each other or touch), and then finally the main lake points at the mouth of the bay. A largemouth bass will use all of these types of structure as "stopping points" on their path to and from the flat.
Baits that work well for me for these pre-spawn deeper presentations, are weighted suspending jerk baits, a Super K football jig with a twin tail grub, a 3/4 or 1 ounce Super K Plunking jig, Carolina rigs, shakey head worms, a drop-shot rigs, or spider-grubs.
Fishing in this manner allows me to find where the fish are in terms of their migration to the flat. When you begin catching fish, be sure to document, at least mentally, the time of day, weather condition and surface temperature because this may be replicated in similar areas of the lake.
The important part of spring and pre-spawn fishing is your adaptability. If you are catching fish and they turn off, it is time to adapt to the situation. If you are catching fish on the flat and the bite slows, think about your surroundings. Did cloud cover take the heat of the sun out of the equation? Did the wind pick up or shift and push cold main lake water into the flat? If that is the case, these fish are not necessarily negative, but may have moved closer to the deeper water or structure that they use on their migration highways within the bay.
Conversely, if you are catching fish in the deeper structure areas and they turn off, it is just as likely that the flat is warming enough that it has become inviting to the whole food chain, bass included, and you need to follow those fish shallower.
A lot is said about "fishing the moment". Never is this phrase more obvious as in the springtime during the pre-spawn on our northern lakes. Your success hinges on your versatility in fishing techniques and your ability to think through the situations that may arise.
If you follow the premise outlined above, I am 100% confident you WILL find pre-spawn fish. If you learn to adapt to the movement and mood of these fish, you can catch them all day long!
On November 14th of this year, I will be 52 years old. That means that this is my 40th of hunting. In those 40 years I have shot more than my fair share of deer.
I love everything about hunting – always have. Over the years however, the excitement and anticipation of the hunt has changed for me. I used to be so excited that I would lose sleep the night before the hunt. I used to think that the best fragrances in the world were fall leaves, gun cleaning solvent and buck scent. I used to read magazines about deer hunting year round and I actually saved every one of those magazines for reference.
I still shoot my bow every day even in the off season. I shoot rifles and shotguns year round. I consider my self very proficient with any weapon that releases a projectile.
As the years went on and life became more hectic, I found myself less and less excited about the whole process of hunting and I miss the old me! I have never missed a deer season, but let's just say I don't really bounce out of bed at 4:30am any more – it seems more like work! That being said, I decided to refocus for the 2012 season, and try to find the fire that I so miss about hunting.
When it comes to deer hunting, I am a "caller" by trade. There is a 2 to 3 week window in which solid bucks will come to the horns. In my area of northwest Wisconsin, that window began on Tuesday, October 16th. That was exactly 4 days after I saw the last bachelor groups of bucks in my area. I have been in the woods on stand every morning and evening since then.
On the evening of Friday, October 19th, I had 2 bucks coming in. One was a respectable 8 pointer that had around a 17" spread but lacked mass and appeared to be only around 2 ½ years old. He came to the horns like he was on a string and was within 15 yards of the ground blind I was in. If he is not harvested, he will be a true trophy in a year or 2.
About 75 yards behind him was a 150" class buck that was coming in quickly, as was real ornery! He kept coming in strong and I needed about 8 more steps out of him before he would hit an opening in the pines. As fate would have it, a feed truck was approaching a stop sign a few hundred yards away, and the sound of the truck's engine brake spooked the buck out of sight.
I decided to give the ground blind in the pines a rest for Saturday, and hunted the south end of the property, 800 yards from the pines. I rattled in 4 different bucks on Saturday, but none were shooters.
Sunday, October 21st, I got to the pines at 3:30 pm. I was pleasantly surprised to see a few large, fresh scrapes, and a very fresh rub on a pine that was 6" in diameter and was deeply grooved (see the first picture below). The rub was around 20 yards from my ground blind. Tonight the wind was out of the southeast at 15mph, with gusts to 25 mph – with that in mind, I started my second rattling sequence rather aggressively to overcome the wind noise.
At 4:40pm I caught movement to the right – it was a mid 160" buck coming in head down and coming in quickly. He appeared to be heading to an open area of the pines near the fresh rub. I put the rangefinder on that rub, and it read 18 yards. With the buck 30 yards out and still coming quickly, I held on the opening by the rub. Just before he hit the opening, I grunted and he came to a stop. Just as I released the arrow from the Mathews Z7 Extreme, a strong gust of wind blew the window flap up! The arrow went through 2 layers of the flap (see the second picture below) and skipped helplessly off the ground, 5 yards short of its intended target!
The buck ran around 100 yards to a thicket, and look back wondering what happened.
For around 15 minutes I was fuming. When I gathered my senses, I realized I had the fire back! This is why I hunt. It is for close encounters – some are successful and some are not. Fate was on the side of this monarch tonight. He wasn't spooked out of the county so you never know! Anticipation is 99% of the hunt for me.
The next few days I will give the pines a rest. Later this week if I still have my buck tag, I will be back in that ground blind, looking at that special view (see the 3rd picture below). This time I will bring a few pins to hold the flaps in place if it is windy. Pain is a great teacher!!
Thank you God for giving me the opportunity to hunt!!
After fishing the
Late in the tournament day Saturday, we were fortunate enough to learn what presentation the smallmouth wanted, and since the Angler's Choice was also on the Minocqua/Tomahawk chain, we knew that some subtle equipment adjustments needed to be made.
The rod choices would be the same – let me review those here:
Since the fish were suspended, I decided to add one rod/reel to the mix – that rod was the G.Loomis NRX 853C JWR – This is a 7'1" Extra-Fast action Medium-Heavy power casting rod that I chose as a jigging spoon rod. Often times a fish will hit a jigging spoon on the fall, right after you quickly sweep the bait. This rod is ultra light weight, so you can feel the slightest tap of the bait, but it has all the power in the world to wrestle a fish out of the deepest water. This rod was rigged with a Shimano Curado 200 E7. You need a reel that will cast a country mile when using a jigging spoon – it also must have a superior drag system and a fast retrieve to pick up slack in the line quickly. This reel far exceeds all of my expectations and needs!
The last equipment adjustment I made for this tournament, was fishing line. The technique that I used on Saturday was a
Well, Sunday morning the tournament took off on time – outside air temperature was in the mid 40 degree range and the barometric pressure was steady. I really wanted to see if we could find some fish in the very extreme depths early, that we could pop a 5 fish limit pretty quick.
The first spot we went to was a rock shelf in 72' of water. I checked the spot with the Humminbird 1198 on the side image screen and it looked like it was loaded with fish. I then switched the screen to down-imaging next to the map/chart screen and drove over the top of the waypoint. There were 2 good schools of ciscoes in 28' to 40' of water, and a large school of smallies between 60' and 72' of water. (see the picture below - the coordinates have been blacked out to protect the innocent) We fished the long leader
We spent the remaining 5 hours of the tournament jumping from spot to spot and caught probably another 20 keepers, but never did catch any kicker fish to help our weight.
At the scales, our 5 fish limit was 10.41 lbs, which was good enough for 2nd place and a nice check. The winning bag was 10.81 lbs, and 3rd place was 9.06 lbs. There was a total of 3, 5 fish limits caught. I feel fortunate that we caught one of those limits!
I would say 80% of our fish came on the
I do need to bring up fish care at this point. When fishing in water deeper than 30', fish need to be fizzed. Fizzing is the practice of inserting a hypodermic needle through the fish's swim bladder to release air. The swim bladder is a gas-filled sac in a bass that is used to regulate buoyancy in the fish. This practice can be completed through the mouth or through the skin of the fish. Please research this process before fishing deep water.
At the

(Reuters) – Consumer sentiment slipped modestly in early April as higher gasoline prices hit household budgets, but optimism over the economic outlook lifted consumers' expectations, a survey released on Friday showed. KEY POINTS: * The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's preliminary reading on the overall index on consumer sentiment dipped to 75.7 in April from 76.2 in March. Economists had expected the index to hold at last month's level. * The survey's barometer of current economic conditions tumbled to the lowest level since December at 80.6 from 86.0. But the measure of consumer expectations rose to 72.5 from 69.8, hitting its highest level since September 2009. COMMENTS: SAM WARDWELL, INVESTMENT STRATEGIST, PIONEER INVESTMENTS, BOSTON "Everyone has been talking about gasoline prices and that has permeated the public consciousness and prices might go up further. We think there continues to be strength in the jobs market. The recent jobs data are not really bothering us. We should see more people working at higher hourly wages. After talking to our retail

Abstract: | The direct extraction of the key static parameters of a general diode by the new method named Linear Cofactor Difference Operator (LCDO) method has been carried out in this paper. From the developed LCDO method, the extreme spectral characteristic of the diode voltage versus current curves has been revealed, and its extreme positions are related to the diode characteristic parameters directly. Two different diodes are applied and the related characteristic parameters such as the reverse saturation current, the series resistance and non-ideality factor have been extracted directly and the results have also been discussed. |

MSC Fantasia Cruise Review by lulusinta: MSC Cruises - NEVER AGAIN

Compare Prices on MSC Fantasia Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruises
MSC Cruises - NEVER AGAIN
The ship was very impressive - appearance, technology, upkeep. There are many negative aspects, though:
1. Dining was so-so. Service was acceptable but the food was not palatable, most of it. The theme was Italian and could have used more variety. Because of the food quality, I imagine there must have been a ton of wasted food. There were some specialty "for fee" restaurants but they were expensive. The dinner schedule was good, preventing all 4000 passengers from crowding the dining room all at the same time. The breakfast and lunch schedules could have used the same type of schedule.
2. The disembarkation procedures were chaotic and disorganized to say the least. The reception desk was inefficient and ineffectual. There was no reason for the guests to be out of the cabins at 0800 if the issuance of the passports was not done shortly after 0800.
3. Cabin service was poor. " we will send you extra pillows right now" takes an hour. Our laundry was More
delivered on the eve of our disembarkation, which made disembarkation matters worse.
4. There were many rude passengers. Too much cutting in the buffet lines and even elevators. There were no rules for unruly behavior for children. Too much running noisily along the hallways.
5. Entertainment was lame although the team tried their best. There was an excellent show that was a tribute to Michael Jackson. Clearly the performers were professionals.
6. Spa services were just acceptable, nothing to write home about.
7. Tour excursion presentations were given priority over safety measures like evacuation.
Good aspects
1. Port excursions were organized. Clearly a money-making scheme though, but it was worth it, for the most part.
2. There was a schedule Easter service even though it was in Italian and French. Less

After falling 155 points in two days, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) did a180 today, and posted a gain of 119 points, or 0.86%, during the last trading session of the week. Uncertainty and fear over comments found in the Federal Reserve's January minutes, which were released on Wednesday, fueled the bearish run, which sent stocks lower Wednesday and Thursday. The markets were reassured this morning by the St. Louis Federal Reserve President James Bullard that the Fed plans to keep its quantitative-easing policy very easy for an extended period of time. Bullard's words were enough to kick-start the bulls again today, and the Dow closed just above 14,000. Unfortunately though, even on days when the index moves higher by more than 100 points, there are still a few losers.
Who was down and why?
Shares of Alcoa (NYSE: AA ) lost 0.4% today. Reports that China's aluminum inventories are ballooning are likely the cause for the recent share decline of the American aluminum company. Stockpiles of the metal in China have risen around 30% from a year ago, as higher production from the country's northwest region have not been absorbed by the market. Aluminum's price has dropped by 7.7% on the London Metal Exchange over the past 12 months, and has fallen behind other common commoditized metals such as copper, tin, and lead. Year to date, Alcoa's shares are down 0.46%, while the Dow is up 6.84% in 2013.
Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG ) ended the day just slightly lower; shares closed down 0.05%. The warnings that have been coming from major retailers and consumer goods stocks may have investors questioning the power of brand name products. Americans have seen their paychecks shrink this year, because the Social Security tax has reverted back to 6.2% as of January 1, 2013 -- a 2% increase from where it stood for the past few years. During the dark days of the most recent recession, many consumers traded down from name brand to store brand or generic products. This trend slightly reversed as consumer confidence and the economy strengthened, but now that wallets are thinner, trading down again is an easy way to stretch every dollar.
Even though Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT ) received an upgrade from Raymond James today, shares dropped by 0.11%. The analyst changed the previous "market perform" rating to an "outperform," and now has a price target of $105 per share. But that positive news wasn't enough to block out the bad news the company released today. Caterpillar is considering closing a distribution plant in central Pennsylvania, which currently employees 250 people. A company spokesman said that workers were told back in September that the facility could possibly move to another location in the eastern United States, and that the decision would be made by March. The manufacturing operations at this site were closed back in 1998.
Caterpillar is the market share leader in an industry in which size matters, and its quality products, extensive service network, and unparalleled brand strength combine to give it solid competitive advantages.

A great controversy exists in psychology regarding the relationship between the development of children's personalities and their birth order within the family. After homeschooling my children, one theory I do agree with is the firstborn syndrome. My 18-month-old daughter initially displayed her firstborn characteristics when I brought home her new baby brother. Setting him next to her in the recliner, I could see a look that told me she was not about to share her parents' attention with this new intruder. From that time on, she was always "top dog" in our homeschool family. In schoolwork or play, she was always the leader in control. Although her brother, standing six feet tall, finally outgrew her, the thought to take over never occurred to him. Her rank and authority as the first in the family dictated an unspoken respect and overpowered even his size.
Although the firstborn may not always be the leader in every family, many stories in the Old Testament illustrate the importance of the firstborn's position within the family. Stories such as Jacob stealing Esau's birthright, the sacrifice of the Passover lamb for the firstborn of every Hebrew family, and the principle of the double portion of inheritance found in Deuteronomy 21:17 clearly reveal the special blessings and responsibilities given only to the firstborn. Christ Himself, the Son of God, is called the firstborn in Colossians 1:15: "Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature."
How do you treat the firstborn in your homeschooling family? Like most parents, you probably strive to treat each of your children equally, but do you find yourself disciplining your oldest more strictly? Subconsciously, you may feel that you must make an example of your first child, so the rest of your children turn out right. Perhaps it's time to give credit to our firstborn children and acknowledge the responsibilities they bear in being the oldest and bearing the brunt of our parenting and homeschooling mistakes. Although each child is precious within the family, take a moment today to acknowledge the special blessing of your oldest child who is the beginning of your strength (Deuteronomy 21:17)!
Lord, thank You for the blessing of each child You have given to our family. Give me wisdom to acknowledge my oldest for his place in the family and show me how to teach him to follow You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Testing a model of antecedents and consequences of defensive pessimism and self-handicapping in school physical education
Ntoumanis, N., Taylor, I. M. and Standage, M., 2010. Testing a model of antecedents and consequences of defensive pessimism and self-handicapping in school physical education. Journal of Sports Sciences, 28 (14), pp. 1515-1525.

There has been very limited research on the use of self-worth protection strategies in the achievement context of school physical education (PE). Thus the aim of the present study was to examine some antecedents and consequences of defensive pessimism and self-handicapping. The sample comprised 534 British pupils (275 females, 259 males) recruited from two schools who responded to established questionnaires. Results of structural equation modelling analysis indicated that self-handicapping and defensive pessimism were positively predicted by fear of failure and negatively predicted by competence valuation. In addition, defensive pessimism was negatively predicted by physical self-concept. In turn, defensive pessimism negatively predicted enjoyment in PE and intentions to participate in future optional PE programmes. Self-handicapping did not predict enjoyment or intentions. Results from multi-sample structural equation modelling showed the specified model to be largely invariant across males and females. The findings indicate that although both strategies aim to protect one's self-worth, some of their antecedents and consequences in PE may differ.

See Them, Feel Them, Hear Them: DTC's Tommy is Oso Closo to Opening
Kevin Moriarty, installed as Dallas Theater Center artistic director in June '07, makes his debut as DTC director later this month with, of all things, The Who's Tommy. Moriarty also makes his debut as DTC spokesman (not counting his video chitchat with Elaine in April) with this just-posted pitch for Tommy, which was extended through September 28 weeks before it even opened. Interesting note: DTC has hired the very theatrical, kinda classic-rocking Denton band Oso Closo to do the Who. Interested, very interested, though I've always been more of a Quadrophenia kinda guy myself. --Robert Wilonsky

20 January 2010
CAR's special panel discussion, "What to Expect in the Post-Crisis Automotive Landscape and Beyond," promises to be highly dynamic and informative while addressing critical questions on finishers' minds. For instance, how will business and manufacturing strategies from today change in the future and what new ones will emerge? What new materials can we expect in tomorrow's automobiles? Who will be the market leaders in the next decade?
According to CAR, this presentation will provide an overview of these issues and offer insights as to what the future may hold for the automotive landscape. Indeed, the challenges facing the surface finishing sector, as well as the entire supply chain, are palpable. The automotive industry is confronted with new product and manufacturing challenges like never before. As a result, manufacturers are deploying flexible manufacturing systems to cope with lower volumes and future uncertainty. At the same time, markets are fragmenting, production volumes are cyclical, and demand is shifting away from large vehicles to smaller, less-profitable ones. Additionally, legislative pressure to increase fuel economy while reducing greenhouse emissions is ushering in a host of new technologies involving powertrain and lighter materials.
Several experts from CAR—a non-profit organization focused on a wide variety of important trends and changes related to the automobile industry and society at the international, federal, state and local levels—has been selected to tackle these questions and other topics during the panel discussion. Among them: Jay Baron, Ph.D. president and CEO and director, Manufacturing, Engineering and Technology Group; Brett C. Smith, director, Automotive Analysis Group; and Bernard Swiecki, director, Market Analysis. To encourage mass participation, NASF has made arrangements for the session to be held on the SUR/FIN show floor at Devos Place.
SUR/FIN's dedicated automotive programming doesn't stop with the CAR program. NASF is also working with the United States Council for Automotive Research, or USCAR, on another relevant presentation. Additionally, there will be high-powered technical seminars geared toward finishing technologies for automotive parts and accessories. It's all reflective of an industry segment—despite sustaining some big hits in recent years—that remains a major focal point for the surface finishing arena and the U.S. economy as a whole. As Eric Olander, chairman of the SUR/FIN Steering Committee, puts it: "They're still making cars in Michigan!"
The conference dates for SUR/FIN 2010 are June 14–17, with the show dates set for June 15–16. Please visit www.nasf.org to register online or make your hotel reservations. For more information, or to reserve your booth space, please contact Cheryl Clark, director of events, or call (202) 457-8404.

Has anyone had issues with compass apps. I use to have my tiny compass and it quit working. It would just point in one direction even after several attempts to recalibrate, cache erase, and trying other compass apps.
The gps works fine.

Re: Compass
Yes, I had the same problem and it affected several programs. It seems to be some kind of problem with the magnetic sensor. A search suggested holding a magnet about an inch away from the side of the phone and moving it around all 4 sides.
Worked for me!

Kobe Bryant's greatest strengths have also been his most detrimental weaknesses, which explains how he wound up incurring the wrath of Black Twitter last week.
We're used to seeing that strength/weakness dichotomy manifest itself on the court, where the same confidence that led Bryant to 24,374 shots and fourth on the NBA's all-time scoring list makes him difficult to coach at times, even for Phil Jackson. A similar split can be seen in the comments he made in a recent The New Yorker profile, in which the narrative went from the Miami Heat's hoodie-wearing show of support for Trayvon Martin to Bryant's personal policy on race-related stories:
"I won't react to something just because I'm supposed to, because I'm an African-American. That argument doesn't make any sense to me. So we want to advance as a society and a culture, but, say, if something happens to an African-American, we immediately come to his defense? Yet you want to talk about how far we've progressed as a society? Well, then don't jump to somebody's defense just because they're African-American."
We live in a world in which people are often motivated by fear -- especially the fear of the unknown -- and embrace the opportunity to play the role of victim. But those things don't apply to Kobe Bryant in his 30s.
Kobe is fearless, doing and saying what he wants without regard to consequence. He doesn't think of himself or others as victims. He doesn't feel things just happen to people. He thinks people determine what happens to them.
Those are admirable traits, but they got him in trouble in this case.
Black Twitter, the same social-media subset that drove the Trayvon Martin story to prominence in the first place, pounced on Bryant's comments. The perception was that Bryant provided distance and criticism of the Heat -- and, by extension, the African-American community -- with his words.
When I ran into Bryant before the Los Angeles Lakers' game against the Phoenix Suns Sunday night, he said that the quote in question does not reflect his thoughts on the Martin case specifically, but in a general sense. Bryant was dismayed that a rift was created between people attacking him for what he said and people defending him -- staunch Kobe supporters, the anti-PC crowd rallying against groupthink -- for saying it. All that does, he said, is create another obstacle when everyone is after the same goal: equality. As for his opinion on the Martin case, which eventually resulted in a not-guilty verdict once George Zimmerman was brought to trial, he echoed the tweet he sent out on Thursday that read:
Travon Martin was wronged THATS my opinion and thats what I believe the FACTS showed. The system did not work #myopinion #tweetURthoughts
- Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) March 27, 2014The flaw I find in Bryant's comments to The New Yorker is the notion that blackness could shroud perspective or preclude people from doing the right thing.

So many ways I wanted to style it. So I did all of them!
So I challenged myself by trying out Scott-Falco's animation and art style and appropriating it as my own. I think it worked pretty well! As for the content this is Scott-Falco as a steampunk version of mega-man.
So.. what do you think Scott?
P.s. you can probably tell I like Scott-Falco's work a lot. No Homo.

2015 Toowoomba Model Trains, Craft & Hobby Expo
Nominations for the Darling Downs Model Railway Club Inc. 2015 Toowoomba Model Trains, Craft & Hobby Expo (Formerly TMTEX) are now open.
The dates for the Exhibition are the weekend of May 30th and 31st.
If you would like to obtain nomination forms, please contact us through the 'Contact Us' segment on this website
Ted (Teditor) Freeman
Exhibition Coordinator.
The Darling Downs Model Railway Club Inc. is located in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia. we are one of the largest Queensland clubs outside of the National Body NMRA.
Obviously you have an interest in Model Trains, great! so do we, and it is our intention to make your visit to the DDMRC Inc. website an interesting and informative one.
DDMRC Inc. members come from all walks of life, vary from 8 year olds to adults of both sexes, including family groups, and hail from distant localities such as Brisbane, Roma, Dalby etc. we even have members interstate as well as overseas and of course a strong contingent from Toowoomba itself. The abilities of these folk as modellers vary from the "haven't got a clue" to the "been there, done that" brigade. The level of individual interest in the hobby varies from reading about it to total hands on involvement. As you can see then, you don't have to be an expert in anything to be a member of this club - just an interest in model railways (or railroads if you prefer) is all that is necessary.
Our club has one basic aim, that is, to promote this hobby, you will find many articles, photos and items of interest on the site, as well as links to valuable modelling resources, and if we don't cover something you would like to know about, please feel free to ask us in the CONTACT US area of the Main Menu.
Most importantly, if you are in the Toowoomba area, either live here, or visiting, why not come along to the clubhouse and see the extensive layouts in Z, N and HO scales.
On Saturday afternoons, you will find us in the Model Railway Museum & Display Centre, Toowoomba Showgrounds from 2pm.
PLEASE NOTE: Saturdays are subject to Showgrounds Events Situation, please phone 4638 1408 or email us via the contact us page if you are unsure.

Hi, Dr. Vassey,
I just wanted to give you an update on Phoebe. She came home from Dr. Gauger's clinic last Saturday, Jan. 5, 2008. She seems to be handling rehab in stride, although it's not going as fast as she would like. She does not like her "cone" & finds her kennel a bit boring. I try to keep her preoccupied with her purple Racoon toy, raw hide bones, and her favorite homemade peanutbutter dog biscuits. (I found this recipe on the Bassett Rescue League's newsletter "The Daily Drool"). She loves to lay out on a comforter in the middle of the livingroom floor & get massages from myself or family members several times daily. She wants so badly to climb snowbanks & run. However, my family members & I have kept her pretty distracted so she can abide by her discharge instructions.
It is so wonderful to have her back with us. We all miss Darrin so much. but having Phoebe home has been so healing, especially for Abi, age 6, and Shavonne, age 8.
Phoebe is a" talkative" dog. She has this "sing-song" range where she can sound anywhere like a chihauhua, a beagle, a basset, or a 250 lb. Rotweiller. She uses such a variety of voices to "talk" with us from her kennel in the livingroom. She will be seeing Dr. Gauger this Thursday for her 2 wk post-op visit.
We feel this dog is such a miracle. We want to thank you again for being there that night to care for her. You and your staff are incredible! The care Phoebe received was tremendous! Your wonderful generousity & kindness will never be forgotten. I also want to thank all of your marvelous friends who worked on the fund raising for Phoebe's medical expenses. What an act of kindness! I honestly cannot put all my feelings of gratitude down in words. This act of kindness will help others as well. What an impact!
Abi has been saying since she was 4 yrs old that she wanted to be a doctor who "fixed broken hearts" (e.g. cardiologist). However, since visiting the Emergency Animal Clinic, she now wants to be a vet like you.
Darrin is progressing well. He has such determination to get better. So far they saved the leg. He has a tenacious spirit--kind of like an Airdale on a bear hunt :>) I am so glad! He still has a long rehab in front of him.
I will definitely keep in touch. One of your staff told me about your blog. What a great site! I love to knit, also.
By the way, I could not help myself. I have voiced many times of the wonderful care & phenominal service you & your staff have provided to us to many people.
Darrin, Abi, Shavonne, and Phoebe send their love.
All my best,
Ellyn Smith (Phoebe's mom)

What a wonderful letter. It is so nice to have a Phoebe update & to know Darrin hasn't lost his leg.
- Carol said...
Thank you for posting this letter, Mel. It touched me for so many reasons. To hear of Phoebe's progress is wonderful but to get to know her and her family better, and to hear how cherished she is, well, that is priceless.
Well done, my friend. - 13/1/08 8:16 AM
- Sheepish Annie said...
You did good, Dr. Mel! This is just one example of a time you stepped up. Recent events have put me squarely in the "Go Hug A Vet" mode and I think you deserve at least ten years of good karma for all you did for Phoebe.
Relax. I am not waiting outside your door to hug you or anything. I don't feel like putting shoes on right now. But if I did... - 13/1/08 10:46 AM
- no-blog-rachel said...
What an absolutely lovely letter.
- Kelley said...
I think it is absolutely awesome what you are able to do for families. At one point in my life I wanted to be a vet as well, but soon found out that I am way too emotional. I can't even read about stories such as Phoebe's without crying...you truly are an amazing person.
When you next speak with or write Mrs. Smith please let her know that all of your readers are sending our love and best wishes for the continued improvement of both Phoebe and Darrin. - 13/1/08 12:22 PM
- knitnzu said...
How wonderful! Maybe Phoebe can visit Darrin? Therapy dog in training??? Thanks for sharing the letter.
- Rabbitch said...
Thank you. Y'all done good.
- Liz said...
that is perfectly lovely. And good on you! yay! Also glad the dog is doing okay. Also glad your dog is doing...better-ish? not whining through the night?
Hallmark really needs to go for a line of things that say, "congratulations on your dog not keeping you up all night!", "well done not totally blowing it on that first date!", and stuff. Has a future, oui? - 14/1/08 3:53 AM
- FiberQat said...
Thank you for sharing the Smiths' letter. I'm glad that Phoebe and Darrin are improving and the kids still have their playmate and dad.
- Julie said...
Thank you for sharing this letter,Mel; and more importantly, thank you for being there for Phoebe and her family. You're a good guy :-)
- Sock Knitter said...
Thank you, Ellyn for sending the message -- and Mel for posting it!
We're still praying for you and your family, Ellyn.
We hope Darrin will be home with Phoebe and the rest of you very soon!!
Healing Hugs all around :) - 17/1/08 3:33 PM

Sooooo cool. You rock.

This is the first release towards supporting JPA 2. Most of the APIs are implemented. Some know limitations for this beta include:
- Some of the 'metamodel' APIs are still unimplemented, specifically differentiating between declared attributes and attributes (same wording as java.lang.reflect). The getDeclaredXYZ methods simply return null in this release.
- 'criteria' query building is fully implemented aside from defining subquery correlations, to the best of my knowledge and current state of the spec. However, compiling criteria queries is unimplemented scheduled for the next release.
Additionally, initial support for fetch profiles
has been added in this release. Currently only join-fetching is supported as a strategy in fetch profiles.
The artifacts have all been published to the JBoss Maven repository. Additionally the release bundles have been uploaded to SourceForge.
This is also the first version bundling annotations, entitymanager and envers together with the other core modules. Moving forward all will be versioned and released together.

FYI, there is an issue getting the .zip bundled uploaded to the SourceForge file server. Man this is the release that just wont end. I'll get it uploaded and add new comment when it is up there and ready. |
For reference : https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/ticket/4129 |
How come you went with 3.x version still? Are the changes wrt JPA2 still not that huge that you would require 4.x? Just wondering, so I know how to version my stuff. :-) |
Hey Ales
JPA support is an overall small part of Hibernate. 4.0 would be more indicative of large scale changes to Hibernate APIs. And even in the JPA support there is no Its largely personal opinion. We do have plans for a 4.0, but as mentioned above it is indicative of Hibernate API changes. |

Does this release includes support for disconnected QueryDefinition? I've read somewhere on Linda DeMichiel's blog that they were planning to support this in the first release of JPA2... Thanks |
What are the plans for orphanRemoval support on *ToOne associations?

Great. But does it include criteria arbitrary join? Which is very important. |
Is it possible to post a build version of this release also. I'm running into problems when building with Maven it's failing with a missing resource message. I'm not familiar with Maven and I do not want to put to much effort into it in solving these types of errors.

RRCA Coaching Certification Classes
Darris, Heather, Renee U and I ("e") were in Las Vegas May 22-23. No casino time for us though—we spent 2 days at the REI store in Summerlin for all day coaching classes. We learned a lot both in class and outside of class studying for our post class test. We're happy to say we've passed the final in flying colors and we hope to help all our RC3 chicks with their race training plans!
And... the REI store was right next to the Total Wine store. Obviously, we had to unwind afterwards and that store came in handy!
