04 Monday May 2015
Written by Jeffrey Agrell in Blogging, Teaching/Pedagogy/Education
No tags :(
I've gotten very behind on my blog posts. Several reasons for this, I think:
•I am working away on my horn technique book. Most of my thoughts and energies as far as writing goes, go there.
•Some other writing energy goes into articles for The Horn Call
•Day to day is pretty busy at school: teaching, playing, planning, meetings, rehearsals, recitals, brass juries, comps, and so on. End of semesters are particularly busy.
•Other upcoming projects are in various planning stages and are not ready to write about yet.
•Ditto upcoming events. I'll be teaching two weeks at Kendall Betts Horn Camp in New Hampshire in June once again. I like to try to bring something new every year; I don't usually write about that ahead of time. I will also be teaching at Acadia University in Nova Scotia for two weeks in July. I have to spend time working on the details of lesson plans for both of them.
•The end of spring semester is also the time when I have to do most of the planning for next year: concerts, recitals, seminars, courses (besides horn, and horn ped/lit, I also teach a couple labor of love courses: Improvisation for Classical Musicians, Weird Music (freshman seminar), and Creativity in Music. CiM is always a little different every year, so I will as usual be revising or replacing some old lectures. Every lecture takes a lot of time, usually reading and taking notes on a number of books once I decide on the topic.
•I was asked to give a lecture to some of the faculty at the UI School of Nursing on creativity, plus a follow-up discussion several weeks later. That was fun and different, but took some time to put together as all new lectures do. There may be more of these next year.
•A couple things that I've started doing that (I hope) don't make up an excuse not to blog are playing some guitar again and some percussion. I played guitar for years – from 9th grade on – along with horn, sometimes more, sometimes less over the years: folk, classical bluegrass, jazz. Then got tendinitis and stopped for years. So I am leaving my Gibson 347 (like a 335, semi hollow body sunburst) out in the living room, and am starting to pick a little while morning tea is steeping, and maybe a little bit after that. I'm very rusty, but it's fun to pick up the old ax again and pick a little. I also have started doing a little sticking – basic drum stick practice. I do most if no one but me is home and I try paradiddles on this cheap electric practice drum set during TV commercials. I want to work the djembe into the action soon. But what I really want to get going on is conga. Except that I don't have one. Maybe this fall. It's fun being a beginner…

I'm partway through a blog called "Friedman Redux", hypothesizing that if Milton Friedman were alive today, he'd reconsider his oft-cited statement that "There is one and only one social responsibility of business–to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits*"
My assertion is that since he said that in 1970, the world has changed so drastically - from population, to GHG concentrations, to proportion of wealth in the hands of private industry, to the ability of corporations to act across geo-political boundaries, to the crossing of planetary boundaries - that as the smart guy he was, he'd be likely to consider that our responsibilities have changed.
But… that blog is taking research to come up with all the graphs and proof points I need to make the case. And I just have not found the time.
So rather than a deep, thought-provoking piece, I'm going to fall back on the easy blog - a day in the life of a CSO six years into her job. To cut to the chase, everything has changed but these two:
- We spend a ton of time on reporting, and
- This remains a great job for the over-caffeinated.

Panel recommends Dronacharya Awards for Bansal, Kutty
Khel Ratna for badminton star Saina Nehwal and recognition for football after eight years were the highlights of the recommendations for the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna and Arjuna Awards made by two specially-constituted panels here on Friday.
It must have been extremely disappointing for wrestler Ramesh Kumar, the only World championship medallist in the entire list of Khel Ratna and Arjuna award nominees. He had won a freestyle bronze at Herning, Denmark in September last year, a good 42 years after Vishambhar Singh won a silver in freestyle. World championship medals have been rare in Indian sport.
Hockey coach A.K. Bansal was recommended for the Dronacharya Award. The selection panel, headed by hockey great Ashok Kumar, also picked L. Ibomcha Singh (boxing), Subhash Agarwal (billiards and snooker), A.K. Kutty (athletics) and Capt. Chand Roop (wrestling).
Kutty got the award after many futile bids and mainly because of changed rules allowing for two life-time awards.
Popular choice
Saina's was obviously a popular choice as she edged out Ramesh Kumar and shooter Gagan Narang. Among the titles Saina won in the last three years were the Indonesian Open (2009), Syed Modi Grand Prix (2009) and World junior title (2009). She climbed to No. 2 in world rankings recently following three major titles in a row in Chennai, Singapore and Indonesia.
She also became the first Indian woman to reach the semifinals of the All England and Asian championships.
Deepak Mondal is the footballer recommended along with two athletes, Krishna Poonia and Joseph Abraham. Hockey also has two awardees in Sandeep Singh and Jasjit Kaur. Others recommended by the panel headed by athletics legend P.T. Usha are Dinesh (kabaddi), Rehan Poncha (swimming), Sanjeev Rajput (shooting), Kapil Dev (volleyball), Dinesh Kumar (boxing), Parimarjan Negi (chess), Jhulan Goswami, Rajesh Choudhary (yachting) and Jagseer Singh (Paralympics).
Among those who missed out were judoka Ram Asre Yadav, a silver medallist at the Asian championship last year and rower Sukhjeet Singh, also a silver medallist in the Asian championships last year.
In boxing, the verdict went in favour of Dinesh Kumar ahead of Suranjoy Singh and Jitender Kumar. Dinesh won a World Cup bronze in 2008 and made the quarterfinals of the World championships next year. He also won an Asian championship bronze the same year.
Suranjoy won a gold in the President's Cup (in Azerbaijan) and also an Asian championship title in 2009. Jitender reached the quarterfinals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics apart from winning a World Cup bronze.
Mondal makes it
Award for Mondal, a veteran defender, must be heartening for the football fraternity. After Bruno Coutinho (2001) and I.M. Vijayan (2002) footballers were not considered for the award due to poor standards of the game. But obviously, the panel members were impressed by India's success in the AFC Challenge Cup in 2008 and the Nehru Cup last year.
Rehan Poncha, the 'medley man' of Indian swimming for the past decade, has become the first swimmer to be honoured since Shikha Tandon received the award in 2005.
Though his achievements in the International arena are not much to speak of, Poncha was among the four Indian qualifiers for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
In last year's National championship, in the absence of young talents like Virdhawal Khade and Sandeep Sejwal, Poncha hogged the limelight in the company of Richa Mishra.
Rajput had qualified for the Beijing Olympics. He had won the air rifle silver in a World Cup in Sydney this year.
He went on to win the rifle 3-position gold in the Commonwealth championship with a National record, apart from the team gold.
He has made the finals of six World Cups so far — three in air rifle and three in 3P. He had won the silver in the Asian championship.
The young Heena Sidhu, a student of dentistry, stood a better chance with her World Cup silver in Beijing last year, the best medal ever by an Indian pistol shooter, male or female, on the global stage but was pipped perhaps because she does not have the variety of achievements of the seasoned Rajput.
The recommendations for Dhyan Chand awards were Satish Pal (athletics), Kuldeep Singh (wrestling) and Anita Chanu (weightlifting).
The awards will be presented on August 29.

I can't eat breakfast. I get sick when I eat breakfast. Why do I get sick?
Question Posted Friday February 26 2010, 6:07 am
My mom has told me for years now that I need to eat breakfast and that it's the right way to start my day. I understand that and I understand that it's suppose to help the brain function properly throughout the day. She also told me that it helps to keep my metabolism up and in a healthy range for my body.
Every time I try to eat breakfast in the morning I get sick though. I feel like I'm going to throw up and vomitting is NOT fun, especially right before school! I tried eating just toast or cereal and not heavy foods like greasy eggs and bacon but it doesn't seem to make a difference. My mom eats oatmeal in the morning but I haven't tried it but I doubt I would feel any better from eating it instead.
What is wrong with me and why can't I eat breakfast without getting sick? It's terrible so I just don't eat it at this point which means I go like 4 hours after I wake up before I eat anything. Is there anything I can take to make the nausea go away when I eat breakfast or anything I can do to keep myself from getting sick?

answered Saturday February 27 2010, 10:34 am:
i know what this is like, i used to be the same way. your mom is very right about eating breakfast, and not only does it keep your metabolism stable, it keeps your blood sugar regulated. it's not good to go from dinner to lunch the next day, your blood sugar can get really low and make you cranky, tired, give you headaches, etc. there's nothing wrong with you, but you should really try to eat at least an apple and a granola bar or a handful of almonds or pecans. that way you get your sugar and some protein. even if you feel like you're going to throw up, unless you actually do, try to eat something. once you get in the habit of eating that early in the morning, the feeling should go away. at least this is how it is for me. hope i helped(:

answered Friday February 26 2010, 8:05 am:
I'm exactly the same way. I just can't seem to eat a big breakfast before 10:30 in the morning.
My favourite is oatmeal (the 5 minute kind, NEVER instant!) and fresh fruit. You only need a very little bit and it keeps you from getting hungry throughout the day. Other than that, I'll sometimes skip the oatmeal and just have an apple or some pineapple or melon. Just a little something to give the energy boost we all need in the morning without making you feel like you swallowed a rock.
Stay away from greasy, heavy foods and dairy products. Your stomach may be more sensitive to these foods early in the day because it's entirely empty.

ClassicsOnline Home » BARTOK, B.: Piano Music, Vol. 5 (Jando) - Mikrokosmos (complete)
The 153 piano pieces of Béla Bartók's Mikrokosmos are a milestone in piano literature. Drawing on a wide range of sources, from musical terms and technical procedures to indications of regional provenance and folk derivation, they are arranged in order of increasing technical and musical difficulty, while encapsulating Bartók's maturing soundworld during the period 1926–1939. When asked, near the end of his life, about the meaning of his chosen title, Bartók explained that "Mikrokosmos may be interpreted as a series of pieces in many different styles, representing a small world. Or it may be interpreted as 'world of the little ones, the children'".

Though the deathmatch mode is decent, this game hurts without online play. For all the customization and realism there is, there's only so much you can do.

The conclusions are the result of the four days of workshops and discussions at the conference, focusing on concrete proposals to enhance the social inclusion of youth, especially of young people not in employment, education or training (NEETs), into the labour market, the education system and social life, which is the overall theme of this cycle of the Structured Dialogue.
Proposals were presented in the areas of adapting education to the needs of young people and demands of the labour market, informing and guiding young people in their transitions, facilitating the transition from education to employment, improving the labour market for young people, supporting young people's autonomy, enhancing the role of youth organisations and developing cross-sectoral cooperation.
You can read the full document of the conclusions at SD3-2 - Joint Conclusions of the EU Youth Conference in Lithuania_FINAL.pdf
These conclusions will contribute to the draft EU Council Conclusions on enhancing the social inclusion of young people not in employment, education or training and that are expected to be adopted by the EU Member States' Ministers for Youth in November 2013. They will also provide input to the draft Council Resolution on structured dialogue with young people regarding social inclusion, which will be adopted under the upcoming Greek Presidency.

continued The second part of the study is where I am more concerned. How can we reinvent this local government to make sure that the residents are getting the adequate services that they are paying for? What — if anything — can we do to make the system more efficient? At this moment, it is very hard for me to come to a conclusion without the study being done. I have to wait until this hard working group comes up with some answers, so I can analyze the effect on the village and on the taxpayers before I can make a stand.
ROCK: I support the STUDY of dissolution only. I have no opinion or bias on actual dissolution.
What questions do you want the dissolution committee to look at and answer?
ROCK: The committee is expected to compile a dissolution plan. Questions will be, What will happen to village employees? What will happen to village services? What will happen to village properties? What effect will dissolution have on property tax? What will happen to retiree's benefits?
HOLDERMAN: One of my biggest concerns is: "How, with such a diverse government structure, can the residents of the Village be assured that they will be treated and served fairly?" Giving up the direct control of one's community affairs has consequences. We have, for the time being, a lot of control over our local issues. If the Village was to go away, we need to remember: there will be two different towns, two different counties and the state government to deal with. How long will it take to get an issue resolved when a much bigger community is involved? We will become a small fish in a much bigger pond.
Another question is the same as many people have: "Will the tax rates go down as a result of dissolution or not? Or, will they stay the same for a time being, and then go back to where they were or higher as a result, as has happened in the past with other villages that took the route to dissolve?"

Suppose skinning isn't quite so big an issue here. I'm inquiring after the effects under the skin.
Am aware Darth Sion has it for the portion of his face missing its flesh, one of the male heads (Buzz Cut) has it with the scar over one eye. This female with a beauty mark.
Not going to even pretend to know what I'm talking about here: I've observed it's something to do with what's under the skins to give an appearance that shows outside on one side of the face/body/etc and not the other. Force sensitive armors use it as well because their leg/shin guard area are asymmetrical, for example.
Recalling attempts to replicate Anakin Skywalker from ROTS, there was difficulty encountered with applying the eye scar. So would this not run into similar difficulty here? Difference is it isn't really adding anything, it's moving and tweaking what's already there.
We'll murder them all, amid laughter and merriment...except for the few we take home to experiment!

PETALING JAYA: Johor Darul Ta'zim II (JDT II) aim to qualify for the 16-team Malaysia Cup competition by virtue of a top-four finish.
The Premier League side are currently sixth in the 12-team standings with 22 points. Only the top four teams will win an automatic slot to play in the Malaysia Cup.
JDT II coach Azmi Mohamed said their immediate target is to keep pace with the leaders in their bid to qualify.
"Our chances of a top-two finish in the Premier League are slim but we have a realistic hope to be among the top four. We have a favourable draw in our remaining fixtures and if we can take advantage of the home matches, we should make it," said Azmi on Tuesday.
The former international said that the tussle to be in the top two spots, to gain promotion to the Super League, is among table-toppers Police (39 points), Felda United (34) and Penang (30). Negri Sembilan (27) and Kedah (23) are currently in fourth and fifth place.
However, Azmi said that JDT II can still claw their way up to finish in the top four. Their upcoming home matches are against DRB Hicom (May 16), Felda United (June 9), Kedah (June 16) and Sabah (June 24).
JDT II have a good track record playing at home, having only lost once to Police in the opening game (3-1) on Jan 24.
Since then, they have won all their five home matches, against Perlis (2-1), PBAPP FC (1-0), Negri Sembilan (2-0), SPA Putrajaya (2-0) and Penang (3-2).
"I have confidence in the team to maintain our strong run at home," said Azmi.

President Obama's historic support for marriage equality has become 'the shot heard around the world.'
"President Obama joins the British Prime Minister and the new French President in backing same-sex marriage. It's an unstoppable global trend, with more and more countries planning to end the ban on gay couples getting married. There is growing momentum for same-sex marriage in many countries, from Cuba to Nepal, Denmark, Australia and Columbia," said UK-based human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell.
"Obama's support will boost the worldwide campaign for marriage equality and, through media reporting of his support, raise awareness of gay marriage among billions of people in every corner of the earth," Tatchell said.
"This is incredibly important, it's excellent news. The United States is a global leader on everything, and that includes gay rights," Julio Moreira, president of the Rio de Janeiro-based Arco-Iris gay rights group, told the AP. "This will force other nations like Brazil to move forward with more progressive policies."
Thai activist Natee Teerarojjanapongs told The Guardian: "I was starting to lose hope in fighting for gay marriage legalisation in Thailand, but now Barack Obama's endorsement is rekindling my fire and is giving me the encouragement to go on."
The AP quoted negative reactions based on religious views from Peru and Egypt, but also quotes Sasha Mohammed, 30, in Toronto. He said:
"This stance will shape the way the rest of the world views the U.S., and will eventually force the way Americans see things to change. It is, after all, impossible to overtly hold onto your prejudices when everyone around you condemns you for it."
Six U.S. states and the District of Columbia already allow gay and lesbian marriages. Full marriage equality is in place now in ten countries worldwide. It is being pushed forward in a number of countries, including Australia, where Prime Minister Julia Gillard, who is opposed, was asked for her reaction:
"I've made my mind up and my position on this is well known," Gillard told reporters in Canberra. "I think it just reinforces this as a matter that people form their own views on, a deeply personal question people will think about, work their way through it; obviously President Obama has and he's announced a decision."
"If Barack Obama can support marriage equality in an election year, in a country where support for the issue is lower than in Australia, then our national leaders have no excuses," said Australian Marriage Equality campaign director Rodney Croome.
"Australia is lagging behind other comparable countries and it's time for our national leaders to catch up to their counterparts overseas."
Germany is another country which may soon have marriage equality; it now has a form of civil unions. Its openly gay foreign minister, Guido Westerwelle said:
"I welcome this not just personally but also in the name of the German government. It's okay to marry gay."
African leaders have yet to react less than a day after the comments. But it took some time after the Obama administration announced in December that it would integrate LGBT human rights into its foreign policy for that reaction, which was universally negative in Africa.
However, the AP had this reaction from someone selling Obama memorabilia in Dakar, Senegal: "I really like Barack Obama as a president, but not this latest declaration."
"Obama's comments will provide another opportunity for religious fundamentalists to raise their homophobic rhetoric," Damian Ugwu, regional Africa programme coordinator for the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission told The Guardian.
"In Nigeria, and Africa as a whole, these remarks are going to get a lot of bashing."
But LGBT rights supporters in Kenya and Uganda thought they would do good. "The fact that these comments come from Obama make it much harder for people in Kenya to sit back and say that gay rights are just a western idea," said Monica Mbaru, a gay rights activist in Kenya told The Guardian.
"If it had been say President Clinton, people would have said homosexuality is just a white disease, but with Obama there is an ownership for the people here. Just like we have heard statements from others like Desmond Tutu, these are African elders who resonate with the local people, and their statements are taken very seriously – they are opinion shapers in this region."
"We will be definitely be using his comments to try and get more support from communities in Kenya," she said.
Negative reaction can also be expected from the Vatican and from many majority Muslim nations. Ibrahim Ali, an independent member of Malaysia's Parliament and leader of a rights group for the country's majority Malay Muslims, told the AP:
"They can practice this in America if they want, since it's their right, but we are still very concerned, because whatever America practices, it often wants other countries to follow suit," he said.

There is church marriage and civil marriage. Church marriage is a choice, but you still have to have a state issued marriage cert, and be married by a state ordained minister.
Civil marriage is a legal option, and can be done by any county clerk with $10 worth of paperwork.
Stop confusing the two. Believe whatever garbage your church feeds you about the man and woman only crap, and have a ceremony there or not - no one cares.
Civil marriages should be available to everyone. Seperation, remember?
Marriage is between a man and woman. Gay people have the rights to be together but should have a legal commitment ceremony not marriage. If splitting up they should go through a commitment reversal similar to a divorce. They do deserve to be together and deserve to have all benefits that a married couple has. I now pronounce you husband & husband or wife & wife?
every social revolution, has a root or a spark. Once it starts, change happens.
"Obama can support this as much as he wants to, it still doesn't make it morally right".
But it absolutely IS morally right & sound to grant equal rights to all the despite the prejudice of others. We know that by the "Golden Rule" - almost every religion & philosophy recognizes that we should "do unto others" as we would like to be treated.
The truth of the matter: you may hold dear a text which has been mistranslated, heavily edited and interpreted for you by the small-minded, but YOU don't know what God thinks. Really, you don't, and it's arrogant to believe that you do.
the British Prime Minister draft Gay Marriages in the Queen's speech to come before Parliament in the next 12 months, however, Gay Marriages was indeed deleted from the Queen's Speech and therefore will not become before Parliament in the next 12 months, I feel by deleting the Gay Marriages from the Queen's speech it was the right thing to do.
As Cameron is the person who indeed write's the Queen's Speech and that Cameron would be the person to delete Gay Marriages from the Queen's speech, this could not in anyway be seen as supporting Gay Marriages.
The German foreign minister had a great t-shirt quote-"It's okay to marry gay"! 50 years from now, this will be thought of in the same realm as the women's suffrage movement and the civil rights movement; it is about human rights and equality, not "special rights" as the rethugs, teahadists and fundies would have you believe. Good for O, and remember, NEVER VOTE RETHUG!
good to hear the international impact of this historic statement
President Obama has brought back the good standing and respect from the rest of the civilized world. The respect we lost under Bush/Cheney.

They will try every possible ruse and disinformation to make a last attempt to create doubt and fear. Be aware and ignore anything that feels other than the Light, and focus on all that is pure and harmonious. There is nothing to fear any longer, as your future is absolutely assured and nothing is going to prevent Disclosure and the arrival of our Space Friends. Mere mortals cannot stop what has been divinely decreed, and bear in mind it applies to the whole Universe."
This upcoming alignment will Activate the Stargate Portal Opening as Well, which will then activate the remaining portals across the Planet. This will Be The Real Opening of the Gates of Heaven.

I don't understand Feather Winger. MotherGod said "those are simply energy dates", yet you are saying that the arrests will indeed happen in our 3D world (whew!!).
So, that said, we should fully expect these dates set forth by Sheldon Nidle to actually occur in these timelines in our 3D world, not just the "energy".
You're not alone, Lucy, doesn't make any sense to me. I guess we ARE supposed to expect these things to happen in the timelines set forth by Sheldon in our "3D world". Seems to be contradictory information we are receive but that's nothing new.
This is a great post,thanks for sharing <3

Thank you for postings, MotherGod. It looks more like when the divine time is right, meaning the consciousness expansion of the masses, more enlightened energies hitting the earth means less fear vibration, removal of old programed thinking, ect...the action will begin. I do have a question...it says here:
Are you saying that the Masters will be physically seen live on video, on May 20th? Just asking.
Yes Darryl, we will be Live on Camera for everyone to connect into and ask us questions. We Love You and We are Here, Love Mother and Father God and The Earth Allies
Excellent !! I look forward to the new time line. It is long overdue. Thank You for the posting.
Thank You for the posting.

I'm one who thinks the 'no cotton' rule can be overdone. Sure I want wool or synthetic/wool mix when things get exceedingly cold and wet but other than that I am not going to junk cotton for synthetic in warmer climes. Some things are simply not negotiable and wearing plastic clothing is one of them.
That said, it was with some sadness that I have had to admit that 501s and snake skin boots are not terribly practical on board.
Eryka is right....chino type pants are the go even in my opinion if cotton. Reality is that in moderate weather light weight cotton pants are not a serious problem if only because today's boats are not as damp collecting as they once were.
On my first (timber) keelboat I could not leave clothes on board for any lenght of time without mould developing or at least a nasty musty smell. On Raven in 2010 I leave some clothing on board at all times and mould and damp is simply not a major problem. Yes is can be a problem after say a rough passage combined with wet weather after but a bit of wool covers that eventuality.
Oh yes....wool or even better possum socks.

Hi Oliver,
THANK YOU! Oh, thank you so much for going through all that trouble (satellites and everything
I'm sure you were thinking, "Who the hell is this annoying person and how do I get him/her out of my freaking ride report?!"
Okay, I had the placement of the steps right (in my head, at least), I just don't know the names of anything. So the Bridal Falls are the ones near that house. Gotcha. I thought the waterfall that everyone poses in front of was called Bridal Falls, which doesn't even make sense (and that's why it was the Summer of STUPID).
After looking at your tracks, and seeing (and understanding) how you went UP Imogene and down Black Bear - wow, BigWan and i are sooo envious of you and Chris! What an awesome ride.
And THAT'S why it pays to plan ahead...we are finding out we missed all kinds of good stuff.
I'm really sorry to hear that it didn't go...um. Smoothly.
I don't want to ruin things for the rest of your readers, but we'll all be tuning in to find out what happened!
p.s. I'm so slow, it will be a while before our RR gets to Black Bear - I can PM you when I get to that point if you don't want to slog through the rest :)
Oso bored? you can find the rest of our ride reports

Staff Reporter
Supplementary examination to be held from June 9
Candidates who want photocopies of answer scripts cannot seek retotalling of marks Fee for photocopy of one paper is Rs. 300, and that for revaluation is Rs. 150 Fee for appearing for the supplementary examination has been increased
Bangalore: T.M. Kumar, Director of the Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board (KSEEB), has said the last date for submitting applications for retotalling and revaluation and obtaining photocopies of answer scripts of the April 2006 SSLC examination is May 20.
Addressing presspersons here on Saturday, he said candidates who submitted applications for photocopies could not seek retotalling. Candidates could request for revaluation within five days of receiving photocopies of answer scripts. The fees were Rs. 300 for a photocopy of one paper, Rs. 150 for revaluation and Rs. 700 for retotalling. "The fees paid for retotalling and revaluation will be refunded if the candidate receives more than five marks in the processes," he said.
Supplementary exam
Mr. Kumar said the supplementary examination would be held from June 9 to 14. The fee to be submitted had been increased. "Since the cost of printing the question-and-answer booklet is high, we were forced to increase the fees," he said.
Candidates will have to pay Rs. 150 for one paper, Rs. 250 for two, and Rs. 300 for more than two papers. Repeaters can write the examination in the old system only until March 2007.
The results of the supplementary examination will be announced by June-end to enable students to apply for admission to pre-university courses.
"I am confident that the results will be announced by then as the number of students taking the examination will be less," he said.
Marks cards
Mr. Kumar said the marks cards would be despatched to schools by the month-end. "Students need not have the marks card to apply for admission to pre-university courses.
The institution head could attest the statement of marks, and it could be used for submitting applications to pre-university courses," he said.
Regarding a case filed against a teacher who allegedly made available two questions before the SSLC examination, he said that the case was filed against Govindan of Sharada Vilas School in Mysore, and he obtained anticipatory bail.
He said KSEEB was investigating the matter.
The board was also investigating cases of mass copying that was reported from a few centres.
Timetable for supplementary examination: June 9 - Mathematics/Indian Sociology (10.30 a.m. to 1.30 p.m.); June 10 - First Language (10.30 a.m. to 1.30 p.m.); Third Language (2.30 p.m. to 5 p.m.); June 11: Indian Economics (10.30 a.m. to 1.30 p.m.); Elements of Engineering - JTS (Job Training Scheme) I (10.30 a.m. to 1 p.m.); Engineering Drawing - JTS 2 (2.30 p.m. to 5.30 p.m.); Carnatic/Hindustani music (2.30 p.m. to 5.30 p.m.); June 12: Science - Paper I (Physics and Chemistry, 10.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m.); Science - Paper II (Biology, 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.); Indian Political Science and Civics -(10.30 a.m. to 1.30 p.m.); June 13: Second Language (10.30 a.m. to 1 p.m.); June 14: Social Studies (10.30 a.m. to 1.30 p.m.).

My husband and I run this vacation rental with my father. We have owned the house for many years but we decided to rent it out to people. The house has gone through many updates over the years and we have put a lot of time and energy to making it beautiful. We always try to make the house the way we would want it and keep up with the maintenance and cleaning by ourselves.
Alicia Reichlin purchased this estate in 1982
The house was built in 1917 for the president of Niagara Dry Goods. It had many owners over the years and my father and my grandmother bought the house 30 years ago. It was abandoned and left to freeze in the brutal Niagara Falls winters. When my father first walked in it was just a shell. It still had all of the original chandeliers, woodwork, fire place brass door knobs hardwood floors, etc. But it also had water and ice throughout the house, vines growing in the windows, the ceilings had come down and all of the wall paper was moldy. Every radiator and toilet had burst, everything had to be rewired and new pipes had to be put in. The sun porch had completely collapsed and the roof had to be completely rebuilt. Most people considered it a lost cause and said it should have been torn down. But my father saw it for what it was. It was a beautiful house that he knew of when he was a kid 40 years before, and delivered newspapers to as a boy. He knew what it had looked like and what it should look like. So he put his skills, and patience into it and slowly brought it back to life. Then in 2011 I began to have an idea. I wanted to make the house even better. So my father putting his skills to work once again, was able to take the ideas from my head as I wanted and put them into the house. I wanted blue skies and starry nights on the walls like canvas and together we made it work. Every room has it's own feel to it. Each space has it's own character. So now we are proud to present to our guests the finished product. The property also has a lot of historical value to it. We found out many political fundraisers and parties were held here and it is one of the few mansions left in Niagara Falls. We have had guests staying at our rental since June 26th 2011, and each year our business grows. We strive to put our guests needs and comforts first. We never hesitate to try and make our guests vacation more memorable.
The rental is conveniently located very close to the Falls. There is just a short walk 2 blocks and you are there. 2 blocks away from the country's oldest state park.
The owner and the manager live 2 blocks from the rental in case there is an emergency, or if guests need anything.
We really appreciated staying here. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. Everything was in perfect order and very clean. We enjoyed the very quick walk to the Falls, when you said short distance to the Falls, you weren't kidding. We all enjoyed our rooms, they were so beautiful and well cared for. This was our first time with a vacation rental, and we are so glad we made the right choice. We will recommend this house to all of our friends and family who are thinking of making the trip up here. Thank you.
I have to start out by thanking the manager and her family for letting us stay at there rental and for being so awesome. Secondly I want to tell every other future guest about how amazing this place was. For what we paid for this place we didn't expect to get as much included as we did. We were provided soaps, shampoo & conditioner, bath salts, and my wife even gotten dissolving bath rose petals that we have never seen before. Our children were happy to find toaster pastries and cereal provided for them and my mother in law used the pancake mix that was provided to make waffles. It was cold outside and sometimes old houses are a bit drafty and cold but not this one. The place was very warm and comfortable. We enjoyed our complimentary wine and sat in the living room catching up on things. My daughter and my niece were fascinated with the many dolls that are display in many parts of the house and they were a bit disappointed that they couldn't play with them but they got over it. LOL. I guess the doll collection belongs to the lady of the house (Alicia) and they add a nice touch to the decor. Each room has a different theme and is so well decorated and clean. The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed, paper towels, dish soap, linens, spices, etc. There was even a little kids table in the dining room for the kids to sit at during meals. We got to meet Alicia's son Jack and the children in our family played with him a bit and Alicia even brought down some of his toys that they put away when guests arrive. You rarely meet a host or hostess that is as warm and inviting as she was. She stayed at least an hour and told us about the house and previous owners, answered all of our questions ( as we had many) and showed us a guest information book that had EVERYTHING in it. When I say everything, I mean everything. Directions to bars, gas stations, liquor stores, restaurants, coffee shops, churches, emergency contact info, hospitals, grocery stores, shopping, even the most recommended places to eat and shop. You name it, it was in there. That is what I'm talking about when I say, we got waaay more than we expected with this place. The amount of time and hard work it takes to make a book like that, how clean everything was, we jokingly asked Alicia if she had OCD. Not to mention the gifts and breakfast, you won't find that anywhere. We will definitely be back, no question. You have to check this place out we had a wonderful time and you will too!
This place is really incredible! My husband and I have stayed here before with friends but this time we decided to have a get away with just the two of us and we knew exactly where we wanted to stay. It was cold outside and snowy, but that made it more magical. Standing in the kitchen looking out the window out at the wooded back yard with all of the snow on the trees was just breath taking. It reminded me of the lion witch and the wardrobe, wondering what magic awaited outside. LOL. Anyway, the house is very well taken care of and very clean. Didn't seem to be a spec of dust anywhere and the place was well stocked. The manager (Alicia) was just as friendly and helpful as she was before, but this time she had a little one with her. It was very nice to meet little Jackson. The house seemed a little more decorated than before, a lot more unique and beautiful things, including incredible paintings by Alicia's father on the walls. We also received a bottle of wine and some chocolates. The area around the rental also seems to be developing a little more since we were here last, counting 3 hotels being built near by. The Falls was even more beautiful during the winter with a lot of the ice and snow on and near the water. I would highly recommend this place, you won't find a more delightful place to stay or a more helpful and polite manager who was able to spend a little more time with us and tell us more about the house and everything that has been done to the place since we had last stayed. It is also very helpful that the manager lives right down the street so if we needed or wanted anything she was right there when we needed her. Thank you so much again Alicia and we are so glad that your home has blossomed into one of the best vacation rentals my husband and I have ever stayed in.
Wow!! I wish that could sum up the over all experience we had here. From the first moment we walked through the front door we were blown away. So well taken care of, so original to the time period it was built, and so spacious. I can see why the manager noted that younger children may not be a good idea for this place. A lot of items to break and so many original details to the house that cannot be easily replaced. Every room is so different and so beautifully decorated. All of the rooms were clean, especially the bathrooms, the manager even has the bathroom shelf and kitchen stocked with cleaning stuff. Our hostess was very nice and helpful. Surprising mature for someone who looks so young. She gave us directions, and info about the area. Recommended local restaurants and even left us a bottle of wine. My niece enjoyed collecting the little pouches of hershey's kisses that were left on our pillows. We had a wonderful time even though it was the dead of winter. Thankfully the distance is so short to the Falls from the rental because it was so cold outside. I would highly recommend this place, especially because it is so close to the falls.
We do a lot of traveling now that my wife and I are retired. We have stayed at many vacation rentals all over the world and this has to be one of my top 5 favorites. It wasn't just because the house is gorgeous and very well care for and clean, but also because the hostess ( Alicia) was so nice and helpful. She left us a bottle of wine and a small pouch of hershey's kisses on our pillows, she answered any questions we had about the area and the house. She gave us directions to local attractions and to the grocery store. My wife was also quite taken with Alicia's son Jack who was such a sweet heart. The house itself is so very conveniently located, only a short distance from the Falls, and there are a few restaurants within walking distance too. I would recommend Murphy's on 3rd. Very good food and coffee. It's amazing to see the amount of artwork on the walls done by Alicia's father Jim, and even the blue room and living room were painted by him. I would highly recommend this place, not just because of the convenient location, but because of the personal attention you get from the manager like she actually cares about you enjoying your stay and not just about getting your money. Secondly I would recommend this place because it is so well taken care of, well stocked, and CLEAN!! There are cleaning supplies in all of the bathrooms and the kitchen. I have also not stayed at a rental that provided so much, most of the time you have to bring your own linens, towels, etc. Thank you so much Alicia for making our vacation comfortable!!!
My husband and I enjoyed our thirty-fifth anniversary in this beautiful historic home. The interior of the home is full of early 20th century character--a grand staircase, woodwork throughout the home, triple French doors to the enclosed patio.
We slept in the master suite and the bed was very comfortable. Having a dressing room and bathroom as part of the suite was a nice convenience.
We enjoyed walking or biking to Niagara Falls (so close!) and found restaurants we enjoyed just a short walk away.
We have already recommended this home to our friends and home to return.
This was truly a wonderful find!! The house was in an excellent neighborhood. Easy walk to the falls and park area. The beds in this house are all so comfortable! We could not have picked a better place!! The management was wonderful and quick to respond to questions!

Pros using silcone spray on their strings
[Edit: Since originally posting this article (from the Sunday Times newspaper) a number of stringers from the Wimbledon stringing room and other events have said that they have never seen anything that would suggest that pros use silicome spray on their strings. Whether that means that they spray themselves after the racquets have been strung or the article is BS no one knows. Nevertheless you should treat the article below with a healthy dose of scepticism since it does not quote anyone or evidence that which it alleges/speculates in the article. Just because a story is printed in a newspaper does not mean its true.]
They definitely need to ban the application of external substances (other than logo paint) on strings. Doesn't say who the culprits are though and what type of strings this is being used on....
The Sunday Times
Barry Flatman Published: 24 June 2012
A Rafa Nadal topspin shot can rotate the ball at up to 4,900 revolutions a minute (Paul Childs)
TOP tennis players are hugely increasing the spin on a ball by secretly spraying their racket strings with silicon.
Former tennis stars, including two Wimbledon champions, this weekend called for a crackdown on the use of the spray. Pat Cash, who triumphed at Wimbledon in 1987, said: "The game's values are gone." In the 1960s, the Australian Ken Rosewall, one of the finest exponents of spin, got up to 2,000 revolutions of the ball per minute. Today's players can reach 4,900rpm.
Cash said former players including Mats Wilander, John McEnroe and Ivan Lendl were supportive of his call for outlawing the use of silicon. Cash said Lendl "maintains string technology has gone way too far" and that the use of silicon should be banned.
Modern racket strings stretch and snap back in a fraction of a second, increasing the spin on a ball. Players enhance that spin further with silicon.
The International Tennis Federation is monitoring the situation but has taken no action.
Where can I buy these silicone spray? Any good recommendations?
I've used silicone spray for a couple of years now on my stringbed. It does help the strings snap back into place but no more so than a non-sprayed gut/poly hybrid or a full poly stringbed.
I only use it because a full gut or multifilament stringbed is a mess without it... having to be constantly straightened.
I've never seen any study that definitively proves that silicone spray, when applied to a stringbed, increases spin on a tennis ball
If it keeps a multi string job straight that's useful enough, but i dont use multi.
It would be interesting to know if the pro stringers are applying it for their on court players.
What is considered silicone spray? I know what WD40 is.
But not sure what is refered to as silicone spray?
Silicone spray can be found using trusty old Google. It run $5 - $13 a can. Seems to be readily available. If it does enhance spin, it should be banned.
I have a BLX Six.One 95 16x18 setup with a solinco poly main and syn gut, they vary based on what is sent to me.
If silicone spray is banned, shouldn't wax on gut be banned as well?
Wouldn't graphite lube powder work better? Because silicon spray is a liquid so gunk would build up from the ball fuzz and the sand/dirt/etc from the courts, which would cause more friction on the bed.
Would this work with say an RpM blast and xcel hybrid
Hopefully this thread doesn't lead to club and public courts smelling like WD40. :)
anyone try it on full poly or copoly?
since nadal is using a poly string.
Does it trade off any things?
would this work?
