The Springboks Sevens were smashed 47-0 in the Plate semi-final on day two of the Glasgow Sevens.
Samoa dominated the fixture, running in seven tries in South Africa's worst World Series performance ever. Four were scored in the first half, while three were dotted down after the break. Alatasi Topou was the star for the victors as he scored a brace and kicked six conversions. Tom Iosefo also grabbed a hat-trick in the opening stanza.
The mauling by the Pacific Islanders was the final nail in a poor tournament campaign in Scotland. South Africa only managed to edge minnows Russia (17-14) and Scotland (19-14) and were beaten by Wales (17-5) in what should've been an easy Pool D on day one. They were then eliminated from the Cup section by England (19-14) earlier on day two, failing to capitalise on a potential match-winning opportunity at the death as they lacked composure and patience on attack.
Yes, the Springbok Sevens travelled to Glasgow with a weakened squad (the likes of Cecil Afrika, Kyle Brown and Paul Delport were injured) and there were several youngsters who made their international debuts, but the team still had enough quality to achieve better. Senior players like Frankie Horne, Chris Dry and Branco du Preez were available, and should've led the side more effectively.
This is a new low for South African sevens rugby. Paul Treu and co will need to take damage control ahead of the final leg of the 2011-12 World Series in England next weekend, and reflection and important steps forward must be taken thereafter before the new season. While the road to the 2016 Olympic Games is vital, these results in Scotland are unacceptable. And blooding new talent is not a worthy excuse.
Treu has a great sevens rugby mind, and firing him (which will be the call by some) is not the answer. The Blitzboks coach struggles to lure the quality players needed to compete with the best sevens nations in the world – mainly because Super Rugby, the Currie Cup and (to a certain extent) even the Vodacom Cup is seen as a more respectable platform than the opportunity of touring the world with the national sevens squad. Why is a player like Sibusiso Sithole, who impressed for the Blitzboks last season, playing for the Sharks XV, especially when he could've added value on the international sevens stage?
Saru needs to step in and help Treu's cause. Yes, they gave the team a fancy, lavish base in Stellenbosch, but they need to assist with the player recruitment drive and establish a proper provincial sevens system. Hopefully the demolition from Samoa will be the all-time low needed to spark a change.

Women's Volleyball Fights Hard in 3-1 Loss to League's Top Team
October 5, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Lees-McRae senior Whitney Justice (Connelly Springs, NC) put down a match high 24 kills hitting .639 as the Lady Bobcats scored a 3-1 (23-25, 25-19, 25-21, 25-22) win over Pfeiffer University in Conference Carolinas womens volleyball action on Tuesday night. The victory keeps Lees-McRae unbeaten in conference play now 10-0, 12-6 overall. The Lady Falcon loss snaps a three-game league unbeaten streak falling to 3-12, 3-5.
As a team, the Lady Bobcats hit .336 in the win despite falling in the opening set to the Lady Falcons. Meme Brown (Boonville, NC) put Lees-McRae up 5-1 early with her first kill of the night before an Anna Vizvary (North Augusta, SC) kill started a tying trend to the finish. Justice tied the contest at 13 and 14 with a pair of kills before a Mordini throw down and two Lees-McRae errors forced a timeout with a 17-15 Pfeiffer advantage. Down by three, Justice would lead a mini comeback with Megan Epperson (St. John, IN) at 23-23, but a Lady Bobcat error and kill by Milana Mervosh (Roebuck, SC) gave the hosts an early one set lead.
Pfeiffer carried a little momentum into set two as another one of Mordinis team-high 14 kills squared the contest at eight apiece. After a four-point spurt by Lees-McRae, Pfeiffer clawed back with a kill by Abbie Ovbey (Mt. Gilead, NC) and ace by Mervosh that put the Lady Falcons up 18-17. Taylor Clendenin (Statesville, NC) brought the visitors back at 19-19 in front of a Chloe Casas (Plane, TX) ace that gave Lees-McRae the lead for good. Casas would serve out the rest of set two with another Justice kill, before Clendenin ended it after three Pfeiffer miscues.
The Lady Falcons again came out early in set three with a 14-9 advantage after an Ovbey kill as Mervosh and Jordan O'Bryant (Reidsville, NC) maintained the five-point lead doing the same to 16-11. Back-to-back kills by Epperson, who had three in a five-play span, brought the Lady Bobcats back with a 16-16 set. Outscoring the Lady Falcons 9-5 at the end, a pair of kills and ace by Clendenin with another Justice slam put Lees-McRae up 2-1 in the match. Pfeiffer out-hit .400 in set three while the Lady Bobcats hit .394.
Justice stepped up in set four with 10 of her 24 kills in the final stanza alone as both teams again played tight throughout the set. Three-straight errors by Lees-McRae put Pfeiffer up 20-19, before Megan Mitchell (Minden, NV) and Justice put kills in between a Lady Falcon error and timeout to regain the lead for good. Justice closed out the match with two more quick throw downs for the 25-22 set and 3-1 match win.
Behind Justice, Epperson followed in the kill department with 17 while Clendenin hit .429 in the match with 15. After Mordinis 14 kills for Pfeiffer, Mervosh was the next closest with nine. Mitchell had a game-high 55 assists for the visitors while Lady Falcon libero Kaci Markham (Asheboro, NC) led all with 14 digs. As a team, Lees-McRae hit over .366 in all three of their set wins.
Pfeiffer will return to the hardwood on Friday night traveling to Coker for a 7:00 p.m. matchup with the Lady Cobras.

By Jason Miller
Executive Editor
Federal News Radio
The Department of Housing and Urban Development went from being the poster child for the dysfunctional federal hiring process to being a model of what others are striving for.
HUD reduced the time and steps it takes to hire a new employee significantly over the past year. It is one of the few agencies that already met President Obama's goal of 80 days to bring in a new employee.
"Our new process is 14 steps, the old one was 39 steps, and we have not just redesigned the process, but we've provided workshops for managers and improved accountability across the agency," said Shaun Donovan, HUD secretary. "We got our hiring process down to 76 days. We are transitioning to a resume based system and using registries to find candidates."
And HUD is not alone. The departments of Defense, Energy and Veterans Affairs are among the agencies that are making progress in reforming their hiring processes and the time it takes to bring new people on board.
Kathleen Ott, DoD's acting deputy under secretary of defense for civilian personnel policy, said the Pentagon got its average to 79 days.
Energy is down to 100 days, said Daniel Poneman, deputy secretary. Poneman said their goal is 80 days by the end of 2011.
VA reduced its hiring time by 22 percent, from 102 days to 82 days over the last year.
But it's at HUD where they not only saw their averages decrease but the changes ushered in a new culture, said Donovan and HUD Chief Human Capital Officer Janie Payne.
"Hiring for too long was thought of as only an HR matter and too often employees asked 'why can't HR get their act together?'" said Payne Tuesday at an event in Washington, D.C., discussing the progress agencies made on improving hiring across government.
Payne said one example of how this culture change has taken root is in the HUD's Office of Housing where Joe Smith, the general deputy assistant secretary, required all his managers to have training, monitors progress, reviews roadblocks and sets high objectives to ensure success.
In fact, across HUD managers can't hire unless they take training.
"We partnered with the Office of Personnel Management and created training for them," Payne said. "We have weekly hiring huddles to look at hiring plans, hiring objectives, understand roadblocks and continue to have that conversation."
Payne said because of these changes the agency recruited hundreds positions last year better than ever before.
OPM Director John Berry did not offer any governmentwide statistics on the hiring reforms, including average time it takes to hire a new employee or how agencies are moving to resumes and away from the knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs) essays.
"We are going to wait until we get the year data to look at it and get the full picture," Berry said. "What I see, at least from what we are hearing from Chief Human Capital Officer's Council and agency reports we are getting, is everyone is moving in right direction. Some are moving faster than others. The style we are taking with this is a peer process, using the CHCO Council to regularly report on what agencies are doing and what is working."
Berry said he didn't want to add another reporting burden on agencies. Agencies must report annually on hiring processes in December so if OPM asked them to do the reporting by November, it would double the reporting.
OPM said in October that the average time across government to hire someone was down to 110 days.
Few agencies also discussed their progress in getting rid of KSAs and moving to a resume system.

Comments about Velocity Aero Heat Rim:
I had heard Co-motion used these rims on their tandems. I rode these 36h wheels loaded with 50-60 lbs of gear on the Montana and Idaho portion of the Great Divide trail. This route is notoriously tough on wheels. I had my wheels checked after 850 miles of heavy touring primarily on unmaintained dirt roads and single track and they were perfect.

On behalf of the American Anthropological Association, the Committee on Ethics (COE) is pleased to announce the Small Grant Award for Developing Ethics Curricular Materials has been made to Elisa J. Gordon, PhD MPH and her collaborator, David Perlman, PhD for their project, Research Ethics Learning Modules for Medical Anthropology and Ethnography.
The curriculum project will produce a series of self-paced, voice-over video slide shows in HTML5 with a Creative Commons copyright, making the learning modules free to the public. The modules will be hosted on the web, including Bioethics 2.0™ and Project Phobos™ websites. An instructor's guide will provide additional guidance for incorporating the modules into existing curricula, with a bibliography of additional resources. The investigators have prior experience in bioethics education and developed a broad dissemination plan through professional association meetings and multiple internet venues.
Drs. Gordon and Perlman will report on their work in the "Ethical Currents" column of the Anthropology News in the coming year.
The COE applauds this collaborative application for its attention to practical issues of research ethics, the conduct of anthropological research and mechanisms of regulatory oversight.
The COE is a standing committee of the AAA charged with advancing the theory and application of ethics to anthropological research and practice across the discipline.

It was a tough tournament for the Ashe County Huskies, dropping both of its games in the 2012 Colvard Oil Holiday Classic.
Avery 52, Ashe 45
The Vikings started the game strong with the first five points of the quarter, forcing an early timeout from Ashe coach Scott Grubb.
The Huskies responded after the timeout with a 7-0 scoring run to take an early lead. Jordan Spell had three points, Anderson Moore had three points and Eli Gambill hit one of two from the free throw line.
Avery closed the quarter with a pair of three-point baskets and Ashe got a short jumper from Moore. The Vikings were up 11-9 after the first.
The two teams continued to trade shots in the second quarter. Ashe tied it up with another basket from Moore. Avery got five points from Payton Lowery and a free throw from Dylan Bauer to take a 17-11 lead.
Ashe then went on an 11-3 scoring spurt to take a brief 22-20 lead. Johnathan Cox scored six points, Seth Sheets added two, Moore chipped in two and Gambill hit a pair of free throws.
Luke Wotell hit a layup and a free throw for Avery in the final seconds to put the Vikings up 23-22 at the half.
Avery extended its lead a bit in the third quarter, pushing its advantage to six points going to the final frame. The Vikings exploded out of the gate in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Huskies 10-1 to put Ashe down 15 points, which proved to be a hole too deep to recover from.
Wotell led Avery with 15 points. Lowery added 11, Chance Watson scored seven and Tre Jackson matched that with seven points.
Cox was the high scorer for Ashe with 13 points and four assists. Moore added nine points and four rebounds, Matthew Lee had six points, and Gambill finished with five points and four rebounds. Spell finished with four points, Devan Sheets had three, Cullen Ashley chipped in three and Seth Sheets had two points. Alex Laws was the leading rebounder, grabbing five boards.
Hibriten 57, Ashe 49
A strong second quarter for Hibriten was the difference in the third place game as the Panthers outscored Ashe 17-5 in the quarter and went on to take a 57-49 victory.
The Huskies were led by a trio of double-digit scorers. Seth Sheets and Spell had 14 points and Cox scored 10. Cox also added nine rebounds, five assists and two steals. Spell added seven rebounds and Sheets chipped in three rebounds and a steal.
Devan Sheets had three points and two steals, Moore had two points and five rebounds, Ashley, Gambill and Lee each scored two points in the loss.
Ashe now has an overall record of 2-8. The Huskies will be on the road for a pair of conference games this week. The team travels to Alleghany on Wednesday and will go to Elkin on Friday.

HAMPTON- The 2013 Empty Bowls Virginia Peninsulaevent will be held March 15, 2013, in partnership with the Hampton History Museum (HHM) and Metro Productions.
Last year's event raised $9000 and the money went to local organizations helping to feed people in need.
Empty Bowls' goal is to help feed hungry families and individuals in the community. Potters and other local artists donate their talents to make the event unique and memorable. When event guests purchase tickets, they receive a simple meal of chef-crafted soup, plus bread and dessert, plus a handcrafted bowl of their choice. Live music enhances the party atmosphere during the affair. A raffle, silent auction, and cash bar add to the funds raised to support local food programs.
The 2013 event will be open to guests from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM at the Hampton History Museum located in downtown Hampton, 120 Old Hampton Lane, near the free parking garage.
Advance tickets are available - cash or check only - in Newport News at Starving Artist Studio; and in Hampton at the Gallery at the Chapman and also at the Hampton History Museum. Tickets are limited due to space considerations: $25 in advance, $30 at the door if tickets are still available. All the money fromticket sales will be donated to local hunger-fighting organizations.
The Empty Bowls Project was founded in Michigan in the early 1990's as a grassroots effort to raise both money and awareness in the fight against hunger. The project has now expanded across the US and to at least a dozen other countries.
If you live Southside, attend the Empty Bowls event on March 22. It's from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Boyd Dining Hall on the Virginia Wesleyan College campus in Norfolk. Tickets $20 in advance / $25 at the door if still available More info on the event's Website.

Pretty girl next door Heidi Montag arrived to The Hills in 2006, fresh faced and gorgeous. After undergoing several plastic surgery procedures in one day, the reality star resurfaced in early 2010 looking like a completely different person.

In 1997, Donatella Versace looked decidedly more natural than a little over a decade later in 2008.
David LaChapelle's muse Amanda Lepore was born a boy, but knew at an early age she was a girl. Early photos of the model show that even after taking hormones and living as a woman, she was a head turner. Years later, in 2007, Amanda showed off an exaggerated and drastically different face.

Melanie Griffith, pictured here in 1977, was fresh-faced early in her career at 20 years old. Decades and several rumored plastic surgeries later, she hardly looks like the same person.
New York socialite Jocelyn Wildenstein, depicted on the left in the 1970's, earned the nickname "The Catwoman" for undergoing several plastic surgeries to look more like a cat, reportedly because her now ex-husband was a fan of felines.

Joan Rivers recently admitted to Anderson Cooper that she's had a whopping 739 procedures. Though it's unclear as to whether she was exaggerating, she definitely looks drastically different than she did in 1982!

Hollywood icon Angelyne became famous in the 1980s by plastering her face on Sunset Blvd. billboards. Decades later, she's still at it, though she is rocking a more plastic look than in her heyday.

It's hard to believe that the woman on the left in 1968 is the same Duchess of Alba we know today! The Spanish Royal, who recently married a much younger man, has reportedly undergone several surgeries over the years.

More than 80 dogs and a dozen other animals were rescued from a Union County puppy mill this week by the Union County Sheriff's Department and the Human Society of the United States.
The animals, many with health problems and living in unsanitary conditions, were carted off to the Oxford-Lafayette Humane Society, where they will be evaluated and eventually put up for adoption.
If you are interested in one of the animals, call 662-236-7631.
Rescuers found dachshunds, Boston terriers, Chihuahuas and beagles housed in chick-coop style cages infested with maggots and cockroaches and with no available food and water at the puppy mill near Myrtle.
It's a deplorable situation repeated time after time across the country—people out to make a quick buck by breeding dogs and other animals that add to the burgeoning population of unwanted animals.
The fact is thousands of unwanted animals are put to death each year right here in north Mississippi because of the excessive breeding, especially of dogs and cats.
Animal shelters are filled with them and the humane society reports that nationwide about 25 percent of the dogs in shelters are purebreds. Dogs and cats are available for adoption in all breeds and sizes.
Responsible pet owners should have their pets spayed or neutered, or at least keep them confined so they do not reproduce.
We urge people in Union County to be on the lookout for these puppy-mill operations and to report anyone suspected of being involved in a puppy-mill, or dog fighting or cockfighting to the Union County Sheriff's Department, the New Albany Police Department or the Humane Society of the United States.

With morning temperatures registering at nearly 76 degrees F, there is no doubt that summer is officially here. While I am happy for the sunny, outdoor weather, I also live in a renovated bungalow that was originally built in the 1950s. Needless to say, uneven cooling throughout my otherwise-adorable home is a well-known problem, along with electric bills that rival the thermometer in terms of scary heights.
Like many who choose the charm of an older home, I've had to get creative with my cooling decisions to keep power bills within reason while, of course, maintaining a cool environment. Using fans to supplement my air conditioning has become my starting point for creating a comfortable home during the dog days of summer. In fact, Bob Vila points out that air conditioners not only account for roughly 25% of a home's electricity costs, they also cost as much as 36 cents per hour to operate. Fans, on the other hand, only cost about a penny for the same operating time (when used on medium speed.)

Man Gordon is such a sourpuss sometimes.... It seems that he thinks he is to cool to attend Hornet events resulting in the dreaded " did EG come" talks. I guess his pride is full. *shrugs*
By the way, I know players read forums, so if EG sees this, just know that Im not a hater, just want the best for our team and I believe Gordon can become a special leader for us......But hey, what do us fans know about lol.
I just get the feeling that Anderson would be participating no matter what.....I am not sure we could have signed a better team player than this guy...
"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"
Austin Rivers, Anthony Davis, Darius Miller, Aminu, possibly Henry, Warrick at the head of the table, either Mason or Thomas, Vasquez, Roberts, Lopez, and Anderson. I'm thinking that might be Mason instead of Thomas. Lance probably would've tweeted about being in SA and yet he hasn't tweeted since 9/6. He hasn't tweeted since that talk about the lawsuit came out.

GREENVILLE — His career has been a never-ending series of dress rehearsals, an almost perpetual wait in the proverbial wings.
But Brad Wornick has stood faithfully by, ready to call the shots if called upon.
Wornick, East Carolina's senior backup quarterback, will likely make his final in-uniform appearance at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium when the Pirates play host to Marshall on Friday.
That the Charlotte native and honor roll student has appeared in just six games in five years doesn't make his career a disappointment, as one might think. For Wornick, that's not what it's about.
"I remember the good times," he said. "It's about the relationships I've created over my years."
A former walk-on, Wornick saw his first game action in two seasons during the waning minutes of a 41-7 win over Memphis on Oct. 13.
He spent last season on the scout team after completing 13 of 19 passes for 138 yards and a touchdown in five games in 2010 as the top backup to record-setting passer Dominique Davis, earning a scholarship in the process.
Meanwhile, Wornick has helped mentor the players ahead of him on the depth chart, including current starter Shane Carden.
"Since I came in, he's always been there, been a guy I can go up to, talk to, hang out with off the field and on the field," said Carden, a sophomore.
"I think he jump-started my development on this offense a little bit."
In the spring of 2010, Wornick was considered the frontrunner for the starting job until Davis arrived that summer and began to emerge. Davis went on to set school career records for completions and touchdown passes in just two years, later signing with the Atlanta Falcons.
Wornick held steady, playing the role of opposing quarterbacks on the scout team last year for a third season before leapfrogging former first- and second-stringer Rio Johnson midway through 2012.
ECU offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley, himself a former walk-on and backup quarterback at Texas Tech, said Wornick's value has been undeniable.
"He's a backup quarterback, which could become very important in one play," Riley said. "He's just always there. He's always positive, always into it, never down, always encouraging the guys, always helping the guys.
"He's everything you want in a guy like that."
Added head coach Ruffin McNeill: "He's been perfect.
"It's tough on him. He's a competitor. But I am proud of Brad and what he's brought to the table. He's as committed to our team and what we stand for as anybody."
Wornick, a former team captain in both football and basketball at Charlotte's Ardrey Kell High School, hopes to coach football at the college level when his playing days are done.
Riley therefore admits that he sees a little of himself in Wornick, with mind perhaps more suited for the quarterback position than body.
"Neither one of us were the two most talented guys to ever walk on a field, but just loved the game," Riley said. "I don't know if he'd like that (comparison), but I do."
His five-year apprenticeship with the Pirates has taught Wornick plenty about the intricacies of offense and defense, but his role as a backup has provided other lessons.
The hours spent studying film, the grueling but anonymous scout team work and the days and weeks and months of waiting for a chance have proven worthwhile as one of life's chapters ends and another begins.
"It's been up and down since I've been here, and I've handled it," Wornick said. "It's taught me a lot about patience, a lot about just kind of trusting the plan — just trusting God's plan that everything happens for a reason. I've always believed that since I was growing up.
"I just look at it and count my blessings and look back on them and reflect. It's just been nothing but good things."

Scouting Report: I had hoped when this season started to just take notes on Campbell, and be ready to hit him hard for he 2011 draft. But the rumor is, Campbell is seriously considering declaring as a Junior. First the good news. Campbell is as athletic a tackle as their is in the country and a pure left tackle prospect. He's a very strong run blocker, who's got an awesome punch, and can navigate much larger defender with his superior leverage. He gets to the second level and finishes with total disrespect for his opponents. His athletic ability also shines in pass protection. He can drop back, slide well, and can cut off a rusher inside and out quickly. Does a great job redirecting a pass rusher and has great awareness in assignments. Lots of great stuff right? Now the bad news. Campbell has a laundry list of injury concerns and those could cost him dearly in the draft. But his inability to stay healthy may push him to the draft, rather than temp another year of injuries without an NFL contract behind it.
Draft Status: If Campbell can get through the year, and check out medically, there's a real shot he ends up the 2nd tackle off the board and that means a top 15 pick. It'll be a tough call for Campbell, and it'll depend largely on his health. Any team that chooses to draft him will have to weigh out if the risk is worth the potential that Campbell has shown.
Final Analysis: In this draft, the no.2 tackle spot is wide open, and there's a lot of money that goes with it. Medical red flags are huge in the NFL, maybe moreso than character problems, because if you are a knucklehead you can still get out on Sunday and contribute, but if you are brittle you aren't any good to anyone. Campbell has a ton of potential and more upside than any tackle in the draft. But he's got a decision to make. Come back next year, and if you can stay well, probably lock up a top 5 pick or do you bolt now, and not risk getting hurt again in college, and drop further in the 2011 draft. If I'm campbell, I know I have NFL talent, so I do all I can to get healthy, have a great offseason and head to greener pastures.
Reminds me of:Chris Williams, OT Chicago Bears-Not necessarily in terms of skills, but when you consider the shadow on injuries that followed Williams to the league, and then the problems he had entering the league, you can see where he and Campbell are similar. Teams must know Campbell is healthy and can play, so they go through what Chicago went through with Williams.
Red Flags: Huge injury red flags

Internet to the rescue. There's a fellow named Matthieu Ricard you might want to take a look at. I don't know if he is enlightened or not, but he's an example of someone who is much farther along than Osho and Tolle. Search his name on Youtube.
If it has to be Tolle, Osho, Chopra, and such like go with Tolle. At least he is sincere and honest.

The course is ideal for soon to be or already practicing ScrumMasters. It is also suitable for team members who want a deeper understanding of Scrum than is possible with a shorter course.
On successful completion of the course and after passing an online test, participants will be awarded the title "Certified ScrumMaster" and receive a two-year membership of the Scrum Alliance.
Our CSPO course leverages techniques from lean-startup and innovation games to provide product owners with a powerful set of tools to drive innovation and maximise end-customer delight. It is suitable for existing or future product owners, product managers and business analysts.
On successful completion of the course, participants will be awarded the title "Certified Scrum Product Owner" and receive a two-year membership of the Scrum Alliance.
The core of the CSD programme is a three-day agile development practices (ADP) course that teaches development team members what they need to know to turn product backlog items into a product reliably and effectively. During this practice oriented course team members learn and apply a full set of agile development practices including automated acceptance testing, test driven development, refactoring, continuous integration and pair programming.
To qualify for the title "Certified Scrum Developer" participants need a total of five days of training — two days in addition to the ADP course. CSM covers this requirement..

ow is the time for Allardyce to finally get a chance at a big club please. He is likely to have a number of great offers for his services this summer, but who will he choose? Will it be Liverpool, Real Madrid, Dortmund or Man City?
thought exactly this when the Match of the Day pundits were peddling this line. Is it really not okay for fans of a club to have some ambition these days then?
ow magnanimous off him - to leave if he's asked to by the owners? What's the alternative, bunker down in his office claiming squatter's rights if FSG want rid?
Seven FIFA officials, reportedly from FIFA, have been arrested on corruption charges, Swiss authorities confirm.
Tottenham are ready to bid £12m for Burnley striker Danny Ings, according to Sky sources.

Thanks for reading my blog, whose goal is to help landfolk see my home waters–the port of New York– from the water perspective. The "sixth boro" is my invented term for the waters in and around the port. Part of my motivation is that mainstream media are "terracentric," overlooking sixth boro news to a large degree. I strive to be the opposite: maricentric. If you like what you see on this blog, tell me about it. My blog was featured in a February 18, 2011 profile by Alexis Mainland in The New York Times. Read it here. Jay Michaels also made reference to "tugster" in the August, 10, 2011 issue of the Wall Street Journal.
In fact, if you see a vessel you think is unique in some way and have a camera, send me an email [ parrotlect ( at ) gmail (dot) com ] and maybe a foto and I may put it up, credit to you. I have no commercial intent, but I like the idea of collaboration and am easy to get along with.
Altho the blog focuses on New York harbor and places accessible from it, my native "adopted" waters are on the Pow Wow in New Hampshire, where I lived some happy years. The Pow Wow meanders about 30 miles to cover less than 5 miles as a heron could fly. Foto below from 2004 shows my preferred helm style up there, best way to see muskrats, beavers, water snakes, pickerel. Moose and bear are there too altho I never saw any from the vessel. A favorite "eating-out" up there was paddling along the blueberry bushes for a snack.
I have spent parts of summers working on greater New York harbor. This blog is a vehicle to share photos and thoughts about the life on these waters. In another part of my life, I educate. This blog is part of that, as I ask my students–at a community college along the Arthur Kill– to read it to broaden their perception of their community. Some of my students work at various jobs in Ports Elizabeth and Newark and other places on the "sixth boro," but others, I noticed a few years back, could not even name–to my shock– the waterway that separates them from Staten Island. Out of my shock as well as other forces came the idea to start this blog. Oh . . . I teach English and take that seriously.
Since 2013, my work–articles and photos–has also appeared in the magazine called Professional Mariner.
Personal stuff: I'm Aquarius, of course, of a dragon year. My favorite book as a kid was Paddle to the Sea by Holling C. Holling. Some favorite authors are Herman Melville and Farley Mowat. I'm comfortable with ambiguity, not comfortable being classified.
Summer 2008 I completed an Masters of Fine Arts degree in writing at Vermont College of Fine Arts, a marker that has me plotting alternate courses.
Companion animal/familiar: feathered, green, ancient. Formerly the familiar of one Long John Silver, of which he speaks fondly. Can be convinced to reveal whereabouts of many buried treasures. Doesn't respond to any name altho I call him by Nigel, the name used by the man I inherited him from. When my neighbors looked after Nigel recently, I learned they renamed him Charlie.
One thing I cannot do is arrange rides on tugs. My advice for that is here.

What are sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections transmitted during sexual contact. STDs are often referred to as sexually transmitted infections (STIs). STDs can be transmitted during any type of sexual activity. Some STDs can be cured with a course of antibiotics, while others persist and are not curable. Some STDs may cause debilitating symptoms, while others may be present without causing symptoms at all. Many STDs do not cause symptoms and can be spread by infected people even when they do not have any obvious symptoms.
Who is at risk for STDs?
Anyone who engages in any kind of sexual activity is at risk for STDs. The only way to completely eliminate the risk of acquiring an STD is abstinence from sexual activity. The use of latex condoms during sexual contact can greatly reduce the chances of contracting many STDs, but no method is completely safe.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have released a report that estimates that 20 million new STD infections occur each year. People aged 15 to 24 account for about half of those newly infected. Young men and young women are about equally affected.
What causes STDs?
STDs can be caused by different kinds of microorganisms, including viruses, bacteria, and parasites.
Sexually transmitted viral infections include human papillomavirus (HPV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), herpes simplex virus (HSV), hepatitis B and C, and human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8).
Sexually transmitted bacterial infections include syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia.
Trichomonas is an example of a sexually transmitted infection caused by a parasite. Infestations with parasitic bugs, such as lice or scabies, can also be transmitted by close contact and may be acquired during sexual activity.

I noticed "end-all and beat-all" on a blog post today regarding web page styling: http://html5reset.org/. Seems like an obvious eggcorn deriving from "end-all and be-all" (which, tangentially, I tend to think of first as "be-all and end-all.") Some Google counts:
"End-all and be-all": about 1,280,000
"Be-all and end-all": about 44,800,000
"End-all and beat-all": about 143,000
"Beat-all and end-all": about 574,000
Well don't that beat all…
I heard another variation on this on NPR this morning in a story about a DEA program to collect old prescription drugs (audio here) – "end all TO beat all"
Other uses:
If you actually like rats, roaches, noise, gun shots, having your car broken into, staff that thinks she's the end all to beat all
The braided hoses of course are not absolutley the end all to beat all, but you will eliminate the possibility of a burst hose.
SE ranking is not the end all to beat all when it comes to websites and sales.
The whole saying "end-all and be-all"/"be-all and end-all" isn't exactly transparent, so I can see why people incline towards the "beat all" construction, though to me that makes the "end-all" part make even less sense!
I love these.
that makes the "end-all" part make even less sense!
To me that phrase is mixed up with the "[war] to end all [war]s" construction. Both phrases essentially come to mean "the ultimate".
*If the human mind were simple enough for us to understand,
we would be too simple-minded to understand it* .
Excellent eggcorn find. "Beat-all" is a much better match for "end-all" when it comes to active and decisive imagery: beating and putting and end to all challenges. By contrast, the "be" of "be-all" seems a bit too passive … almost Zen-like.

The construction of this boot is top notch. I use it for backpacking and early season hunting. My only complaint is the sizing. I wear a 10.5 in almost everything including vasque boots, but for some reason these run a half to a full size bigger depending on the fit you prefer. Great boots; it's just frustrating when you have to exchange boots through the mail.
Never again! I've never had a pair of gortex boots that won't allow my feet to breathe. After seven months the rand blew apart and my toes get wet! I wont even send them to Dave Paige to be cobbled! BAD BOOTS
COMFORT: Vasque has somehow eliminated that "new boot" feel that requires a couple miles to break in. These are extremely comfortable from the get-go, I don't want to take them off! SOLE: The rubber on the sole is very intimidating, and for some reason I don't think grip will be an issue. LEATHER: My only qualm. Just not the same quality as that of the Sundowners produced 10 years ago. Attentive leather care should take care of this issue. CONSTRUCTION: Average to slightly-above average.VALUE: Fairly priced around $190, a steal at 20% off.

GRAHAM — The Alamance County Board of Commissioners will face several challenges in 2013, beginning with how to develop a budget that could include pay increases for county employees.
County employees haven't received a pay increase since June 2008. Several commissioners said this week that the board should work with County Manager Craig Honeycutt to see what can be done to provide them with one in 2013-14.
"I would like to see us cut spending and give employees a raise in next year's budget," Commissioner Bill Lashley said.
Lashley said he believes
The board will also work this year to increase its fund balance, or rainy-day reserves. The county was able to increase its fund balance by $2.5 million last fiscal year but it still wasn't enough for the state. The North Carolina Department of the Treasurer sent a letter to the board on Dec. 12 regarding its concerns about the county's fund balance level.
"In the General Fund, the percentage of fund balance available for appropriation relative to expenditures appears to be much lower than comparable units across the State," the letter stated. "As of June 30, 2012, the amount of fund balance was $14,003,445 or 11.34 percent of total fund expenditures. However, when restricted cash is removed, it falls to $9,660,362 or 7.83 percent of expenditures."
The state requested the county develop a plan to determine what expenditures can be reduced or revenues can be increased to begin building general fund reserves. Honeycutt said he will submit a plan to the state later this
Commissioner David Smith said this week that one of the county's top priorities should be to restore its fund balance this year. Smith said it is embarrassing that the
"I don't know what management is going to come up with," Smith said.
Smith said he is still interested in discussing with the board his plan to ask the local

Commissioner Tom Manning said he is encouraged by the prospects of the interlocal agreement and that any economic development opportunities would be welcomed.
Manning said he hopes the county's unemployment rate will continue to decrease after dipping below 9 percent in 2012 for the first time in years.
The commissioners expect to resume talks in 2013 with the
Commissioner Linda Massey said this week that the two boards should revise the line. Lashley said he supports the two counties taking another look at where the line should be.

Manning said the commissioners hope to get a response from the school board regarding how a fund balance policy could be developed for the
The commissioners may also consider this year whether to combine the county department of social services board with the county health department board, according to Sutton. The state approved a provision in 2012 that allows counties to decide whether to combine the two boards to improve efficiency.
