Oceaneering to Use Normand Flower - Analyst Blog
Oilfield services company
Oceaneering International Inc.
) has entered into a contract for a period of 3 years to use
Normand Flower - a multi-service subsea support vessel. This
vessel is owned by Norway's Solstad Offshore ASA. The term of the
contract is likely to begin in fourth quarter 2013 after the
arrival of the vessel for work in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM).
Oceaneering also announced that the vessel will undergo some modifications to boost its project capabilities as well as reconfiguration to accommodate two of its high-specification work class ROVs.
The overall length of Normand Flower is approximately 305 feet. The vessel includes a Class 2 dynamic positioning system, accommodations for 85 personnel, a helideck, a 150-ton active heave compensated crane and a working moonpool.
Oceaneering will use this vessel to enhance its subsea intervention services in the ultra-deep waters of the GoM and other international markets. These services comprise inspection, maintenance and repair projects, and hardware installations.
Houston, Texas-based Oceaneering primarily serves the global offshore oilfield industry by providing engineered products and services. The company also offers inspection works, subsea products and services. Moreover, Oceaneering provides technological skills to the aerospace and defense sectors.
Oceaneering currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), implying that it is expected to perform in line with the broader U.S. equity market over the next one to three months.
However, in the oilfield services sector, three firms that are expected to significantly outperform the broader U.S. equity market over the next one to three months are Exterran Holdings Inc. ( EXH ), Dawson Geophysical Company ( DWSN ) and GulfMark Offshore Inc. ( GLF ). All three firms currently retain a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

Sports are a civil right for disabled, US says
Establishing students' needs would be the first step, followed by training for educators and coaches.
"We need to determine how many children would qualify and then look to where kids can be integrated onto traditional teams appropriately. Where we can't, then we need to add an adaptive program," said Vaughn, who has advised states and districts how to be more inclusive.
"Typically, the larger school districts realistically could field a varsity and junior varsity team in each sport. In more rural areas, we would do a regional team. It's not going to overwhelm our schools or districts. It's just going to take some solid planning and commitment."

India's minister of state for civil aviation KC Venugopal says the government of Karnataka has acquired 370 acres (150ha) of land for the development of Belgaum airport.
The acquired land has been handed over to the Airports Authority of India (AAI) for the construction of a new apron with a taxiway, new passenger and cargo terminal, runway extension, as well as other infrastructure facilities, says the ministry.
Venugopal also said that AAI has requested the government of Bihar for the acquisition of around 200 acres of land to expand Gaya airport.
The state government is in the process of acquiring the land and it is to be handed over to AAI free of cost and taxes.

BRUCE - There is no stopping the Lady Raiders. Oak Hill pounded out 12 hit's Tuesday night on their way to a season-best 19-5 win over Calhoun Academy. It was the third straight win to start the season
Sophomore Maegen Ellis kept opposing hitters off balance all night throwing a no-hitter while striking out seven and giving up just one walk.
"She threw great game overall," head coach Marion Bratton said. "She started off a little bit rough in the first inning, she just couldn't find the plate."
Last Spring, Hebron Christian School was preparing for an 11-man football season.
Now the Eagles will be forced to drop down and play eight-man. With just 11 players on the roster, Hebron made the call last Thursday and informed MAIS officials they were playing 8-man this fall, something they haven't done in years.
Head coach Tri Nason, said enrollment is not an issue.
"We just don't have the manpower, " he said. "We have the guys in school to play, they are just not playing."
Mamie Allen didn't have the stuff she displayed in Oak Hill's season opening win over Heritage Academy last Friday, but then again, she really didn't need it.
Oak Hill rallied for three runs in the third inning Monday night to pick up their second consecutive win over an MAIS Class AAA school after defeating Starkville (1-3) Academy 4-1.
"It was an ugly win," head coach Marion Bratton said. "But we made some plays when we had to. Our selection on some of our choices for outs wasn't quite what we practiced."
Oak Hill Academy's Mamie Allen kept the bats quiet all day Friday as the Lady Raiders opened the 2011 season with a 6-1 victory over Heritage.
Allen gave up two hits in six strong innings while Meagan Ellis had a pair of three baggers and a RBI to power past the AAA Lady Patriots .
Hebron Christian School kicked off the 2011 season with a loss, but quickly got their first game jitters out of the way this past weekend after going 3-1 in the season-opening tournament in Senatobia.
After losing to host Magnolia Heights 5-4, the Lady Eagles rebounded with a 9-0 win over Kirk Academy Friday, followed by a pair of victories over North Delta and Lee Academy (Ark.).
"I think some first game nerves got to us a little and gave them a few runs but I thought we did OK for our first game as a young team," head coach Cass Tapley said.

Bring the kids or just have a quiet getaway in Hillside Beach - a newly re-built house located on a one-way street serving only the residences on three blocks. It is a safe, quiet place to completely relax on vacation. Walk a few feet down to the water's edge and watch the birds, boats and just enjoy the quiet lapping of the water on an inlet of Long Island Sound. A kiddie playground across the street compliments the equipment for kids in the house.
A beautiful beach a short distance away is surrounded by interesting mansions. Bicycles can be carried on the Metro-North train which goes to Milford, within three miles of Hillside Beach so there is no need for a car. Several good restaurants are within walking distance and many will deliver food to you at Hillside Beach. Summer weather is generally warm with short rain showers to keep the flowers blooming around the house all summer.
Great place for a winter getaway to tuck in and enjoy the fireplace and watch it snow through the high winter and hurricane-proof windows.
A perfect quiet location in a beautiful resort area: Hillside Beach is a newly renovated property on beautiful Long Island Sound. It is located in a resort area quiet neighborhood of primary and second residences. Everything in the house is new including the kitchen and bathrooms, outdoor patios and deck.
A waterside playground for kids is across the street.
The house has a beautiful view of Long Island Sound from the large deck, the and the floor-to ceiling great-room windows. A well-equipped kitchen and an outdoor grill with a dining table or outside deck patio furniture make staying at Hillside Beach convenient and fun.
A nice sandy beach with a lifeguard is just a short walk away and fishing can be done from the retaining wall or from nearby piers

Easy access to Interstate 95 makes Hillside Beach easy for 90 minutes driving from New York City.
Restaurants are within walking distance and more are located in nearby Milford and West Haven easily accessible by car or bicycle.
Academic or seasonal winter rentals are very popular and offer a cozy, warm home within driving distance of some ski resorts or a pleasant place to stay in and watch the snow falling outside of the double-pane hurricane-proof windows.
I grew up in Iowa and have lived in several states and in Europe and have owned vacation property in Colorado and in New York City. I currently live in Brooklyn, New York and love our Connecticut vacation home as a retreat from the busy city life. Besides this home that we offer for rental, we have our family's vacation home in West Haven, just a few miles from Hillside Beach. I am proud of the many reviews my guests have given on their stays at Hillside Beach.
Avis Pohl purchased this house in 2010
I have a family vacation house just a few miles away on Long Island Sound and realized that while many people requested to stay in our home, I would like to have a property nearby to rent to vacationers and to people who work in the area during the academic months of the year.
The house has proved to be a very good buy since it is rented 365 days each year with a waiting list besides.
The views from the house's location are what enticed me to buy this house and to have it re-built. I changed the interior design to take advantage of water views and re-designed the house so that there are large front windows facing the water and are high enough to look over the houses downhill and the street below. The view outside the dining area makes the very large deck a wonderful place for breakfast and entertaining guests for a barbecue. The master bedroom at the back of the house offers quiet privacy and has it's own sliding door out to the back patio and terraced garden large enough for playing croquet or building a snowman.
It was a pleasure to stay at Hillside Beach for the 2013-14 academic year. This recently-remodeled house is in great condition, and it comes nicely furnished.
Avis, the owner/manager, is very professional and easy to work with. The monthly rate for the academic year was a fraction of the summer rate, and it included all utilities. Overall, I believe the nine-month rental was an extremely beneficial arrangement for a house of this size, location and quality.
We needed somewhere to stay while visiting family and friends in Connecticut and Long Island. How wonderful for us that we found this place! Its central location was very convenient, whether we drove to visit others or they came to us. The ocean view and breezes were delightful, and the house itself beautifully laid out and appointed. We felt so much at home, in fact, that our own beds seemed strange on our first night back in Lexington.
Avis was gracious and accommodating of our schedule, and John and Kristen were wonderfully responsive to our needs. (The fresh flowers were such a lovely welcome!) We are planning our next visit and look forward to staying here again. We cannot say enough to recommend this house or Avis and her people!
We stayed at Hillside Beach during Christmas 2012. This place exceeded our expectations - it was impeccably clean, Avis and her associates were beyond helpful and the decor was even more updated than the pictures online. We were driving to Connecticut from Michigan and planned to arrive late on Thursday night - after driving all day, we were delighted to find the driveway lights on, a warm house, and Kristen had even picked up some groceries for us so that our boys (ages 9 months and 4.5 years) had milk and snacks as soon as we walked in the door. All of the amenities were as listed online, but beyond that, Avis had a Christmas tree and decorations for us to celebrate the holidays, as well as a giant box of toys for our boys to play with. Being a detail-oriented person, I was excited that Avis kindly provided prompt email responses to my many questions (both before and during our stay). John lives close by and was also available to help. Based on another person's review, we also did the Polar Express train ride and would highly recommend that to anyone with kids - ours loved it! This was the first property we have ever rented and it was a tremendously wonderful experience. We cannot say enough great things both about this beautiful property and how fantastic Avis was to work with. I would absolutely recommend Hillside Beach to anyone, but not for Christmas 2014, we loved it so much that we already asked to reserve it again :)
My family have just returned from the most fantastic holiday in Milford. Hillside Beach was a real home from home, right down to the Christmas tree. We had everything we needed at hand, I managed to do all my holiday baking without a hitch. Avis was a pleasure to do business with, and made the organisation of our trip so much easier. She made sure we had everything we needed to celebrate the festive season. We were fortunate enough not to have to call upon John, although he obviously made himself known to us. It was very reassuring to know that help was just a couple of doors away if we needed it.
The location could not have been better - just steps from the beach and a 5 minute drive to the store. My daughter was very pleased that we were only 8 minutes away from the Westfield Mall!
The property itself was spotlessly clean and very well maintained.
We were very lucky to manage to get seats on the North Pole Express, at Essex Steam Train Museum. That was a most magical experience, enjoyed by adults and children alike. We were also able to get to the Trolley Bus Museum at East Haven. They were trialling being open for the week after Christmas, which was a bonus for us. We also visited the Eli Whitney Museum in Hamden, which was so much better than we had hoped. However, you just can't beat skimming stones on the beach then stepping home for a hot chocolate.
It is safe to say that everything exceeded our hopes and expectations.
My family and I stayed at Hillside in July and it was by far the Best vacation home we ever stayed in, the house was supper clean and the view from the big window was awesome. I was eight of us and we had plenty of room and the kitchen was well stocked. The deck was nice to enjoy and the fireplace was nice touch at night time, the beds was also nice and soft just like the one from home. The playground for the kids was just a cross the street and the beach is only a block away, we met some great neighbors there and had them over for dinner a couple of nights so that was great also, John the care taker was great and was very helpful with our needs. We can't wait to come back again next year and Avis is the BEST to deal with and very understanding, better hurry and set your date cause it will be one of the best place you will ever stay at. Thanks again AVis!!!!!!
My family I enjoyed staying here. The house was clean and nice. There is a playground for the kids a few doors down. I would stay there again.

India Meteorological Department on Thursday announced that the coming monsoon is ``mostly likely'' to be normal, with a rainfall of 99 per cent of the long period average [LPA], with a model error of plus or minus five per cent.
The forecast also noted that there was a 47 per cent probability of the rainfall to be between 96 percent and 104 per cent, 24 per cent probability for it to be between 90-96 per cent, 17 per cent probability for between 104 to 110 per cent, eight per cent probability for being below 90 per cent and four per cent probability for above 110 per cent of the LPA.
In other words, rainfall was likely to be between 94 per cent and 104 per cent of the LPA, with a greater possibility for it to be near the lower end of the band than the upper end.
A press release issued at the briefing noted that recent forecasts from international and national agencies indicated that there was a probability for emergence of a weak El Nino conditions during the later part of the season and the development of a weak negative Indian Ocean Dipole event during the second half of the year.
If these came true, they could have an adverse impact on the rainfall at the tail end of the season.
The forecasts come close on the heels of a conference of national and international weather experts organised by IMD under the aegis of the World Meteorological Organisation at Pune on April 19 and 20.
A statement issued at the end of the meet, which looked at the likely monsoon scenario for the south Asia region had also predicted that the rainfall during the season was most likely to be within the normal range, but that there was a ``slight tendency'' for it to be below normal.
The statement also noted that in terms of spatial distribution of rainfall, there was likelihood for below normal rainfall over some areas of north-western and southern parts of South Asia, while being close to the long-period average over the remaining parts.
Secretary, Ministry of Earth Sciences, Shailesh Nayak, declined to comment on the forecast made by the experts at the meet with regards to the possibility of below normal rainfall in south and northwest parts of the region, which corresponds to Tamil Nadu and other parts of southern peninsular region and Rajasthan and other parts of northwest India, apart from Sri Lanka and some parts of Pakistan.
``It was a climate forecast for the South Asian region as a whole. The forecast we are making now is for India''.
He also noted that the forecast made now was for the nation as a whole and that forecast for different regions of the country would be made later in June along with an update for the all-India rainfall forecast and month-wise forecasts for July and August.
``With the data available at the moment, only a long term forecast for the country in its entirety and a season as a whole can be made now. One would have to wait till June middle to make region-wise forecasts''.
The IMD press release noted that the forecast was being made following a detailed analysis of the various global parameters that are considered to have an influence on Indian monsoon including sea surface temperatures over the Pacific Ocean and snow cover over Eurasia.
It has also taken into account forecasts made by international institutions including the WMO's Lead Centre for Long Range Forecast- Multi-Model Ensemble, the United State's National Centres for Environmental Prediction, UK's Meteorological office, European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts, Japan Meteorological Agency, and Asian-Pacific Economic Cooperation Climate Centre at Korea as also national institutions such as Space Applications Centre, Ahmedabad, Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune and CSIR's Centre for Mathematical Modelling and Computer Simulation, Bangalore.

It is no secret that we spent decades listening to lies from the tobacco industry. Today, the biggest hazard may come from smokers who are lying to themselves.
It's not just smokers who are at fault here. Their friends and family — the people who love them — are complicit in allowing them to lie to themselves about the dangers of tobacco and their hesitance to quit.
What are those lies?
• "I only smoke a little. It's not enough to hurt me."
The reality is, there is no safe level of smoking. Each cigarette damages your lungs, blood vessels and cells throughout your body.
• "Sure, my kid smokes now, but he'll quit when he gets older."
Truth is, cigarettes are designed for addiction. Three out of four teen smokers continue as adults.
• "I've been smoking for years. It's too late to quit."
Every smoke-free day matters. As soon as two weeks after you've stopped smoking, your circulation and lung function improve. Give it a year and the excess risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a continuing smoker's. Make it five years and the risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus and bladder are cut in half. Cervical cancer risk falls to that of a non-smoker.
One of the diseases most closely associated with smoking is COPD, or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. It is a lung disease that results in chronic shortness of breath. Ultimately, it can lead to a chronic cough and the need to wear an oxygen mask 24/7. COPD is a major cause of disability and the third leading cause of death in the United States.
COPD has long been considered a disease of white men, as they have historically smoked at higher rates than other groups. That profile is changing, and the rate of COPD among women has climbed steadily in recent years.
Activate Allen County will host a Free Lung Screening from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 15. If you are experiencing a chronic cough, or shortness of breath, come to The Sleep Center at 528 W. Market St. in Lima. We will be doing simple breathing tests to screen for COPD, and a small finger stick to screen for Alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency.
And if you are a smoker who wants help quitting, or know a smoker who should, go to www.activate allencounty.com to find tips for quitting as well as information about upcoming programs in the area that can help.
Health tips courtesy of Activate Allen County will appear in this space every Monday.

Daniel Martinez and Dalan Abreu combined for nearly 200 yards rushing Saturday, dealing the St. Michael's Horsemen a Halloween trick in the form of a stunning 26-0 defeat at Brother Abdon Field.
St. Mike's had entered the game as the third-ranked team in Class 3A football. With a win over West Las Vegas in this coming Saturday's Vegas Bowl, Robertson clinches the District 2-3A runner-up spot (behind Raton) and would likely host a first-round state playoff game.
So, how do you top the No. 1 turnaround season in the history of men's college basketball?
New Mexico Highlands coach Joe Harge can think of a few things that might do the trick. Winning the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament and getting to the national playoffs, for example.
A cold-weather shelter for the homeless is expected to be up and running later this month.
Samaritan House, a local nonprofit group, has received approval from the city to set up a homeless shelter in the old 2G's bar building at 1509 Seventh St., next to McDonald's restaurant.
The owners, Vince and Vicki Howell, are donating the space rent-free for the first year. Samaritan House hopes to open the shelter starting Nov. 21. Its hours will be 6 p.m. to 7 a.m.
With a sweep of Pecos on Friday, the Mora Rangerettes claimed their fifth consecutive District 4-2A championship.
Mora won 25-13, 25-14, 25-18 in the finale, held at Montoya Gym in Mora. Pecos had emerged from the weeklong bracket as the challenger to the top seed Rangerettes. Mora will play the District 1 runner-up, either Ramah or Navajo Pine, this week in a regional playoff.

It took overtime to eliminate the Robertson soccer teams from the Class 1A-3A state tournament over the weekend.
Social Security is an immensely popular program. After all, we as Americans believe that everyone should have an economically secure retirement.
But sometimes we need to curtail this program's spending so as to ensure its survival for future generations.
To their credit, President Reagan and his Democratic rivals got together during the 1980s to take steps to keep the Social Security fund solvent. They increased payroll taxes to make that happen — not a politically palatable choice but absolutely essential.
Supporters of the Alta Vista Regional Hospital's labor union had a message for the hospital's administrator on Friday — negotiate now. And they took it directly to him.
But the administrator, Richard Grogan, refused to accept a proclamation from the group. He told them all communications about the union should go to Alta Vista's attorneys.
If you want to get a shot of the H1N1 vaccine, you're probably out of luck for now.
The local public health office only has a limited amount, and El Centro Family Health has none at all but is expecting some, officials said. None of Las Vegas' four pharmacies have any shots for swine flu on hand. This reflects a shortage nationally of the vaccine.
The Las Vegas Clinic for Children and Youth, a private organization, has the vaccine. It is available for children six months to 5 years and children 5 and older with chronic conditions, an employee said.
Two area residents are serving as the San Miguel County co-chairmen of the Republican gubernatorial campaign of Allen Weh.
Ricardo Rodgers and Rey Herrera have joined the Allen Weh 2010 team's effort to mobilize New Mexico voters. Among other duties, Rodgers and Herrera will organize volunteers in San Miguel County and ensure that Weh's local supporters turn out to vote.
thumb DOWN to ... A SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT? The Mora school district deserves much criticism for its use of a big slush fund to the detriment of education. And we've joined in that chorus.
But what about area state lawmakers who accepted thousands of dollars in gifts from the district, which serves one of the poorest areas in New Mexico? The primary recipients were Sen. Phil Griego and Reps. Thomas Garcia, Richard Vigil and Andrew Barreras.
The head of the local state police station disagrees with an attorney general's finding that his agency is required to take arrested juveniles to youth jails in other counties.
State police Capt. Toby Dolan said that as a result, his officers are being taken off the streets to transport juvenile offenders. For instance, his agency had to take three such youths to a lockup in Santa Fe last weekend.

The Saban Theatre (pronunciation: /səˈbɑːn/ sə-BAHN) is an historic theatre in Beverly Hills, California, formerly known as the Fox Wilshire Theater.[2] It is an Art Deco structure at the southeast corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Hamilton Drive designed by architect S. Charles Lee and is considered a classic Los Angeles landmark. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 3, 2012.
The theatre opened as the Fox Wilshire Theatre on September 19, 1930 and for several decades was one of 20th Century Fox's premiere theaters, serving as a movie palace until a 1981 renovation converted it into a stage venue.[3] It was operated by the Nederlander Organization from 1981 to 1989.[4] It is now regularly used as a live performance venue for comedy, music, television, film shoots, screenings, and community intercultural events such as PaleyFest.[3][5] Temple of the Arts has owned and operated the theatre since 2005.[6]
In March 2009, owners announced that the Wilshire would be renamed the Saban Theatre in recognition of a $5 million grant from Haim and Cheryl Saban. The funds will be used to further restoration efforts on the orchestra, proscenium and marquee.[7] It also houses programs by the Temple of the Arts, an effort to integrate the arts and Judaism.
Notable premieres and events at the Saban have included:
- How to Marry a Millionaire starring Marilyn Monroe and Lauren Bacall (November 1953)[3]
- Stevie Nicks's "White Winged Dove" tour (1981), filmed for an HBO special
- Los Angeles premiere of Paramount Pictures's Dreamgirls (December 11, 2006)[8]
- Taping of the Season 1 finale episode "Journey" of the TV series Glee
Starlet disappearance[edit]
In May 1944, thirteen-year-old Patsy Ruth Brown disappeared after leaving producer Jack Schwarz's Fox Wilshire Building penthouse. Schwarz told juvenile officers that Patsy had spent the afternoon in his apartment. That evening he gave her three dollars for a taxi. According to Schwarz, Patsy left in the company of an older girl named O'Hara, whom Patsy had brought with her. Schwarz said that Patsy had begged him numerous times for a role in one of his films. Her only film appearance (uncredited) was in Nearly Eighteen (1943).[9] A taxi driver who took Patsy to Union Station told the police that Patsy said she was going to San Bernardino to visit her father, an employee of a Barstow, California rock company. However, the taxi driver's tip failed to help police trace the missing girl.[10]

Candlelight Memorial
From Peace Corps Wiki
Info about the Candlelight Memorial
On May 17, 2009, we would like to join the international community in hosting a Candlelight Memorial in a city in Azerbaijan where youth and community members can learn about HIV/AIDS.
The event will begin with an introduction detailing the purpose of a Candlelight Memorial as well as an explanation of what HIV/AIDS is: its history, symptoms and how to contract and prevent it. Community members unaware of the virus will consequently begin to have knowledge about how to protect themselves and others. Guest speakers will then speak; a local doctor will discuss HIV/AIDS in the city and who it has affected while a community organizer will detail HIV/AIDS in the US and give suggestions about how to prevent it from spreading.
An art project created the week before by twenty students will then be unveiled. Highlighting the dangers of HIV/AIDS, the youth will have designed art based on information they learned during an intensive week-long workshop. The Minister of Education will subsequently announce the winners of a month-long student essay and poster competition about HIV/AIDS. In conclusion, candles will be lit and a moment of silence held for all who have been affected by the disease.
The city will contribute the supplies, overhead costs, and staff time and effort. We are asking PCPP for funds to pay for art project materials as well as for the community organizer's honorarium, hotel and cost of transportation.
Note: This summary was provided by a Peace Corps Volunteer and the community administering this project.

Primary teaching - honestly what is it like?
Started by mum201 , Dec 25 2012 01:57 PM

Hi all,
I have DS, who is a year old. When I had him, the idea was that I would go back to my corporate role in 6 months. DH and I visited every daycare in the area and couldn't agree on one and finally figured out the problem was not the specific daycares, but both of us not wanting him in daycare at all. Plus we realised that both parents being out of the home for 12 hrs a day just wasn't going to work for us - so I packed in my job, and am a sahm.
Now that I am thinking about it, I don't think my previous life is ever going to mesh well with being a mummy so I am going to have to retrain and do something more appropriate. I have done a bit of undergrad study before for fun and enjoyed it so am now thinking about going down that path again. At first I was thinking Accounting and doing bookkeeping from home or for a local business, and whilst this seems to be a sensible option, I would find it painful and I wouldn't love it.
Then I thought about teaching. I used to teach kids martial arts and was good at it. I am patient, am great with little kids, and want to do something that makes a difference in the world - and I feel this fits the bill. It's also a skill that is transportable. Plus, it fits in perfectly with having a child. So, enough of my long winded post. Do you enjoy being a primary teacher?

I love teaching and having my own class.
I do not love casual teaching.
Some people are lucky and get a job straight away, but there is also the very real possibility that you could end up going a few weeks with no work, and if you are just casual, ALL holiday periods are unpaid.

3 years without a job before ANZAC day, and only 2-3 casual days before then.
The teaching is fine. The getting a job is the crap bit.
Posted 25 December 2012 - 04:30 PM
Teaching is a wonderful career for all the reasons you mentioned.
It can also be exhausting, especially in the junior grades when you are on your feet nearly all day, constantly on the go...multitasking galore. There is physical preparation of resources and paperwork preparation at home, assessments, portfolios, reports, committee meetings, staff meetings, professional development research, arranging incursion, excursions, special event days, displays...just some of the aspects of working year. In other words it is not a 9am - 3pm job and whilst the holidays are generous some of those days are used to set up the room and prepare lots of resources for the term.
I have two young school age boys who also go to the same school I work at - it's a bonus in some ways (no need for outside care arrangements) and not in others. I often have to take them early to school with me so I can set up for the day and then they are there after school as I try to clean up.
When we get home they need prompting with their homework, I listen to their home reading, cook dinner and prompt the whole bedtime routine.
Some days I thrive on the business of it all and sometimes I fall asleep on the couch my 8pm.
The above views/ways are just my own and of course not common to all teachers.
Best of luck with any career choice you make.

Next year will be my 5th year as a teacher. You want honesty so here it is: (tired so using dot points)
* hated the 4 years of study, expensive (even with hecs) and time consuming
*first year out I hated it, long long hours and very stressful
*2nd year out a bit better, but still wasn't sure I was going to stick it out
*3rd year could only get small contracts and relief work, okay, but not good for the budget
*4th year: totally in love with teaching! But in saying that my kids are older and I devoted a lot of time and energy to my class.
I am still on contract and I probably won't get a permanent job for a few years yet as they are very rare. I mostly work 9 hour days, my students are on my mind a lot, the weekends involve work but also preparing for the working week, like ironing etc. As I am too tired at night to do much.
I absolutely love my job/vocation and have already started planning what I will teach next year, researching and working out my classroom layout. Like most teachers, I do spend a few thousand of my own money each year as well.
You do not teach for the money!

Does anyone know if it's also hard to secure a secondary teaching role in NSW?
Posted 25 December 2012 - 06:01 PM
I forgot to mention that I am one of the very lucky ones who is a permanent teacher. I am very grateful for it each year. As so many others commented it's heart breaking to watch so many casual teachers unsure where or if they will have a job year to year. These are good - great teaches who put in way above and beyond effort to add to their resume in hope of standing out for selection. I can only imagine the stress of them and their family due to the uncertainness of work year to year. I've never, ever noticed there being a hint of a 'teacher shortage' in primary schools about me - I think the fine print would read 'teacher shortage of high school maths teacher in extremely remote community.'

Depends what you are teaching. Maths and Science yes. English and history in Western Sydney. Most everything else is hard.
OP , as someone who went from corporate to teaching, the work hours are a lot more manageable as a teacher. Sure it's not 9-3, but less then corporate that's for sure
Posted 25 December 2012 - 06:16 PM
My friend is a high school teacher and has been a on contracts at the same school, fulltime for 4+ years. Only now has he finally be offered a permanent role. It's really been very hard on his family being financially unstable all those years. He loves teaching the teens, hates the politics of how the school is run and the instability of contract roles.

Still waiting for DS to wake up! He did not fall asleep until 10.30 last night...
Thank you for your replies! A lot to think about indeed! My sister teaches secondary school, so I have been probing her for her opinion as well. She agrees with a lot has been said here and also added that the staff room politics can be crappy, but she wouldn't do anything else. She also feels it could be a good personality fit. Urgh..... I have a lot of thinking to do....... But I am actually a bit excited about it.
But thanks again all.

Honestly, I teach Prep and at the school I am currently at there is no way I could continue my career if I had a family Its far too exhausting and far too much work. I get to school at about 7.30-8am and don't leave until around 6pm, I also do schoolwork almost every evening when I get home and on the weekend. I love the job, it's very rewarding and I love the children I work with and seeing them grow - but at my current school it is very demanding and I don't think I could continue if I had young children. I only speak on behalf of my own experience, though!

I used to be a teacher and got permanency in nsw straight out of uni there is definitely LOTS of out of hours work. Also I worked in schools where children came from disadvantaged backgrounds and I often struggled with wanting to do more for the kids and feeling bad that I couldnt. I hated that society seems not to value teachers as I see teaching as so important. Also be prepared to be yelled at, sworn at and complained about- from teachers and students. That isnt just my experience, surveys by teachers federation indicates if happens much more than you think. Just some examples one six year old was kicking other six year olds and calling them mother f#@! Ers. I had him sit separately for a short time. His dad went off that I was picking on him. Many parents think that because they have 1 or 2 kids they could effectively teach a whole class and are often quick to let you know. Politics in schools can be crazy as you mentioned. Also while I found teaching to be challenging it wasnt intellectually stimulating. In primany school be aware you have to teach music as well as sport, art, history etc etc.

I went from corporate to teaching (secondary) and have found the hours much longer. Maybe not in terms of "office" hours, but the prep and marking done outside of school takes up a lot of time. And the difference is that you are always thinking about school in the back of your mind. It's not a job you can just leave at the office and forget about it.
And not to nitpick, but it's less thAn! Sorry, one of my pet peeves as an English teacher!

Although a settlement in the federal lawsuit against the town of Jena ends the Nationalist Movement's dispute about restrictions on its speech, the court order doesn't address the town's proposed banning of firearms for the "Jena Justice Day" rally and march.
And both sides -- Jena and the Nationalists -- are saying the order proves they are right.
An attorney for Jena said the order gives the town the right to prohibit firearms, and an attorney for the group -- which describes itself as "pro-majority" but is widely reported to be white-supremacist -- said the ruling means members can and will bring firearms.
Walter Dorroh, Jena's attorney, said the judge's ruling speaks only to the First and 14th Amendments, not the Second -- the right to bear arms.
"The judge's ruling says what it says," Dorroh said. "And that's what we intend to go by."
U.S. Federal Judge Dee Drell reiterated Monday in a court filing that the court considered a consent order and final judgment proposed by the defendants -- the town of Jena and Mayor Murphy McMillin -- that was agreed to Friday by all parties. Drell wrote that the court agreed that the town's ordinance regarding parades and rallies was "unconstitutional and unenforceable as written."
He went on to say that the agreement was fair and "reaches substantially the same result that we would have reached under current law."
Richard Barrett, spokesman and attorney for the Nationalists, said the court order makes it clear that firearms cannot be prohibited. The Nationalists' main speaker, Larry Darby, will be carrying his personal handgun to the event, Barrett said.
Jena withdrew its ban on firearms when it declared the permit application and ordinance unenforceable and unconstitutional, Barrett said.
"There is no permit requirement, now," he said. "Neither is 'approval' of the town, required. In addition, the court ordered that the town of Jena and Mayor Murphy McMillin 'will not interfere with Plaintiff's exercise of its First Amendment rights on Jan. 21, 2008, in the Town of Jena.' In other words, there are no bans, whatsoever -- firearms or otherwise -- allowable against the Nationalist Movement on Jan. 21, 2008."
Barrett said members talked about holding up guns during the rally or doing some other kind of display under the Second Amendment but decided against it as it would detract from the theme of the event -- protesting the "Jena Six" and the celebration of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
In Drell's "Reasons for consent order and final judgment" filing, he said that "the consent judgment does not specifically incorporate plaintiff's (Nationalists') gun claims under the Second Amendment, nothing in this judgment shall be deemed to recognize any request by plaintiff or any demonstration or parade participant to carry weapons of any kind."
He said the judgment also doesn't "affect the police power of the Town of Jena and the State of Louisiana, which includes the right and duty to protect and promote the public safety."
"The consent judgment simply means that the plaintiff, the Nationalists Movement, may parade in Jena, La., free of the unconstitutional restrictions" of the ordinance, Drell said.
The federal court no longer has jurisdiction in the case as both parties said they had no other points of contention.
If there is another issue brought up by either side needing the court's ruling, something else must be filed.
There are exceptions to Louisiana's concealed handgun policies or state law that may affect those who bring guns to the Jan. 21 event. For instance, concealed weapons can't be taken to a parade or demonstration for which a permit is issued by a governmental entity, according to Louisiana State Police. Firearms also are prohibited in school zones, according to Louisiana code.
The Nationalists' planned route would bring them to Jena High School.
Barrett said Darby plans to secure his gun before taking part in the march.

ProduktinfoThe art of variation lies at the heart of much music, including that of Beethoven, who practised this demanding technique as both performer and composer at many stages throughout his career. For his 'Eroica' Variations Beethoven used a theme originally written for his ballet music from The Creatures of Prometheus which he later incorporated into his Third Symphony. Other variations, whether based on the music of his contemporaries or of his own invention, such as the famous Turkish March from The Ruins of Athens, provide considerable insights to Beethoven's much vaunted virtuosity and profound creativity. The Korean pianist Ian Yungwook Yoo is the recipient of many prizes including the 2007 Beethoven Competition in Bonn and the 1998 Santander International Piano Competition.

ITU Announces New Partnership between Digital Arts Department and TechShop in San Jose, CA
ITU, a Silicon Valley Based Graduate University, will partner their Digital Arts Department with TechShop, a DIY workshop and fabrication studio. The partnership will give ITU Digital Arts students unparalleled access to high quality fabrication tools and equipment.
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) April 13, 2012
International Technological University (ITU) is announcing a partnership between its Digital Arts Department and TechShop, a member-based workshop facility offering access to over $1,000,000 worth of powerful equipment, digital design software and instruction. The partnership between ITU and Tech Shop is a result of their membership within The San Jose Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce.
"We are pleased that both of our members, ITU and Tech Shop, are benefitting from one of the chamber´s core values: helping our members create mutually beneficial connections with each other," said Matthew Mahood, the Chamber´s President & CEO.
TechShop´s mission is to empower people to build their dreams. Members have access to equipment for rapid prototyping–everything from mills and lathes to 3D printers and laser cutters.
"We are thrilled to work with ITU´s Digital Arts Department," said Michael Catterlin, Manager of TechShop San Jose. "TechShop is centered around educating the community and offering a supportive environment to students, entrepreneurs, artists, and others who want to make things but lack the tools, space or skills."
The Digital Arts Department at ITU, a graduate university in Silicon Valley, is currently offering a course called Manufacturing Cinematic Spaces taught by Professor Marina Christodoulides. Professor Marina is co-founder of RECESS, an interdisciplinary design collective, and designer for innovation studio at MKThink. The course uses film as a pedagogical tool for an architecture design studio. Students learn about space in a new way by analyzing films. By the end of the semester, students will incorporate class concepts to design and represent space in three dimensions through digital and physical models. After giving the students comprehensive equipment training, TechShop will provide them with access to their state-of-the-art Computer Numerical Control (CNC) equipment to fabricate physical models of their final designs.
As Professor Christodoulides puts it, "TechShop is making tools that were once only available to manufacturing and production facilities available to everyone today. It is the contemporary shared woodshop."
Students at ITU will be trained to use laser cutters and 3-D printers by TechShop staff. Though this is a pilot program for experimentation and research purposes, Digital Arts Chair Cedrick Chan, a media and entertainment professional who worked on films such as the Star Wars prequels, Hero and The Mummy Returns, notes: "We expect that student membership will be an integral part of the department´s curriculum. Students are already recognizing the tactile and digital influence of their work." To learn more about the Digital Arts Department, visit http://www.itu.edu/digitalarts.
About ITU
With seven departments providing top-quality academic and practical training, ITU offers exceptional certificate, graduate and doctorate level programs in Electrical Engineering, Computer/Software Engineering, Engineering Management, International Business, Interdisciplinary Sciences, and Digital Arts. All of ITU´s programs aim to build competent engineers, engineering managers and business administrators with a deep understanding of cutting-edge theory and hands-on practical application in their respective fields.
ITU is recognized by the Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE), and has been granted candidacy status by the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).* This status places ITU on the U.S. Department of Education´s database of recognized institutions of higher learning and the Council for Higher Education´s Listing of Accredited and Candidate Institutions (CHEA).
- Candidacy for Accreditation is a status of preliminary affiliation with the Commission, awarded to institutions for a limited period following a specified procedure for institutional self-study and on-site evaluation. Candidacy is subject to renewal. Candidacy is not accreditation and does not ensure eventual accreditation. It is an indication that an institution is progressing toward accreditation.

Barber Schools in Atlanta, GA with Program Descriptions
The Atlanta area has a few schools that offer barber programs. Learn about the courses, admission information and program requirements for three schools within 50 miles of downtown in order to make an informed education decision.
Atlanta, GA, Area Barber Schools
Several schools within an hour's drive of downtown Atlanta offer barbering programs that meet state requirements for professional licensing. This article looks at three of those schools. It also includes a table that highlights information prospective students should consider, such as costs and enrollment. A list of a few other nearby schools with barbering programs is included, too.
- Atlanta Technical College is a public school located a little over three miles from downtown Atlanta. The college offers barbering diploma for new students and a certificate program for cosmetologists.

- Southern Crescent Technical College's programs are about 50 miles from downtown Atlanta. The school offers a barbering diploma program for new students and a certificate in barbering for cosmetologists.
Atlanta Technical College
The requirements and standards set by the Georgia State Board of Barbering are met through this school's barbering programs.
Barbering Diploma
In order to start this barbering program, students must be at least 16 years old and hold a high school diploma or GED. The 52-credit program starts off with some fundamental courses in mathematics, English and interpersonal communication. During the technical classes, students can learn about barbering techniques and tools. Students also study shop management and ownership, chemical hair restructuring and color theory. Completion of an internship is necessary for graduation.
Barbering for Cosmetologists Technical Certificate
Current holders of a master cosmetology license can apply to this technical certificate program. The program requires 19 credit hours of work. The introductory courses go over styling and barbering skills, in addition to hair cutting and shampooing. The program also covers topics like shaving, sanitation and sterilization.
Georgia Piedmont Technical College
Georgia Piedmont Technical College provides associate's degree and diploma programs, as well as adult education programs that often meet in the evenings. Students can prepare for their careers by contacting the school's Office of Career Services.
Cosmetology Diploma
The cosmetology program offered at this school is normally completed in four semesters. In the first two semesters of the program, students complete some general education requirements, along with courses on styling, hair care, hair treatments and professional development. In the last two semesters, students take several practicums, in addition to classes on nail care and skin care.
Southern Crescent Technical College
Southern Crescent Technical College was officially founded in 2010 and is part of the Technical College System of Georgia. Online class options are available for some of the courses in the barbering program at this school. The following programs meet requirements set forth by the Georgia State Board of Barbering.

Light It Up
I'm a little bit out of the Hanukkah/Chanukah loop. The Holiday Armadillo taught me a little, as did Seth Cohen, but I blame my lack of Jewish knowledge on my parentsBuddhist, Catholic and Lutheran parents tend to leave a person accepting of all but relating to few. Regardless, I have to say that a menorah all lit up makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. It does, after all, represent the Festival of Lights, and this year the Intown Chabad is taking the festival uptown. Though Hanukkah lasts for eight days, the Public Display of Illumination celebration from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Thursday is a one-night-only event and will feature latkes, libations and live music by Shma. In addition, the menorah will be lit each night of Hanukkah at 6 p.m. in the West Village between Mi Cocina and the Magnolia Theatre. Call 214-632-2633 or visit theintownchabad.com.
