Cal State Northridge Matadors (1-6-1) at Cal State Fullerton (1-4-2)
Titan Stadium - Fullerton, Calif.
Internet stream and live audio available at GoMatadors.com
NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - The Cal State Northridge Matadors enter the start of Big West competition with a game at Cal State Fullerton this Saturday night. Kick-off for Saturday's contest will take place at 7:00 p.m. GameTracker will not be available because the match will be shown live online at BigWest.TV.
Soccer fans looking to follow the progress of their soccer team during their time in Fullerton can do so by visiting GoMatadors.com this Saturday evening. Links for streaming video on BigWest.TV and live audio of the Northridge-Fullerton game will be available for fans to utilize.
Saturday's game at Cal State Fullerton will open up the Big West Conference season for Cal State Northridge, its 10th year as a member of the Big West. The Titans enter the Big West season after dropping a tough 3-2 decision to UCLA at home over the weekend. On Wednesday, Sept. 29, Fullerton will face fellow rival UC Santa Barbara to open their conference season before the Matadors enter Titan Stadium on Saturday.
The Titans enter the match with a record of 1-4-2, their only win coming against Pitt in the West Virginia Tournament. Despite the record, Cal State Fullerton has been no stranger to scoring goals. They have been shutout only twice in seven matches, with one of those two resulting in a tie. The Titan to watch for on the offensive end is junior forward Nick Posthuma, who leads the Big West in goals scored, netting four in only seven matches thus far. Also look for midfielders Oscar Aguero and Ritchie Gonzalez to have a say on both sides of the ball. Aguero is tied for third in the conference with three assists and Gonzalez is close behind with two. Goalkeeper Trevor Whiddon finds himself second in the conference in saves with 34. He has played every minute for the Titans thus far and has two shutouts, averaging 1.48 goals allowed per game. Following the match this Saturday, Cal State Fullerton embarks on a three-game conference road trip to UC Santa Barbara and UC Riverside before making the return trip to Matador Soccer Field to close out the season series with CSUN.
The Matadors are 18-7-4 in conference season openers, and have only been defeated once in a Big West opener. CSUN has not lost a conference opener since 2002, when they were on the wrong side of a 2-1 decision against UC Irvine at home. The last time the Matadors tied a conference opening match was in 2007 at Cal State Fullerton, the same squad they will open the Big West season with in 2010. The longest streak for conference opening wins in Matador history is 10 seasons, accomplished from 1978-87 under the direction of head coaches Zvi Friedman, Ric Fonseca and Marwan Ass'ad.
One of 17 newcomers to the squad this year, freshman forward Sam Ball is making quite an impression within the Big West this season. Leading CSUN with three goals scored - an impressive feat as he has only taken six total shots and has capitalized on all three shots on goal taken - Ball leads the conference with 1.50 points per game and 0.75 goals per game, and is tied for fifth with four other players with three goals scored after competing in four games so far this season.
One indication of the success sophomore goalkeeper Michael Abalos earned last season can be seen in the Matador record books as the San Juan Capistrano native earned a spot on four different lists with his numbers earned during his freshman season at Northridge. Abalos now shares tenth place with Louie Mata (1992-93) with his seven career victories, is fifth all-time with his 1.17 career goals against average, and is now tied for eighth all-time with Joel Entreken (1990-91) and his six career shutouts. His five clean sheets earned in 2009 is also the seventh-highest number of shutouts earned in a season, tying him with Joe Barton (2001) and Mike Littman (1989) and their respective single-season performances.
Even though the Matadors are off to a tough start of the season, nobody can doubt the quality players Coach Davila has fielded so far as four of the eight opponents Northridge has faced this season were ranked in the top-25 last season. Adding to an already challenging schedule is the fact that Northridge has only played two games at Matador Soccer Field, tying Cal Poly and UC Davis for the fewest number of home games played so far in 2010.
Known for creating a tough schedule year after year, the Matador coaching staff have pieced together one of the most challenging schedules ever in an attempt to prepare the team for the challenges and rigors faced during conference play. Almost one-third of the games scheduled in 2010 will be against teams that were ranked in the top-25 nationally by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America in 2009. The list of opponents includes CSUN's season-opening game vs. San Diego (9/1), last season's College Cup runners-up Akron (9/17), San Francisco (9/24), cross-town rival UCLA (10/27), UC Santa Barbara (10/23), and UC Irvine (10/20).
Since relocating from North Campus Stadium to their current facility before the start of the 2002 season, Matador Soccer Field has presented a strong advantage for the Matadors. In the 73 games played on-campus, CSUN possesses an overwhelming 50-15-8 record at home for a .685 winning percentage on their home turf.
Despite some tough outcomes early in the season, a number of Matadors are continuing to make their mark on the Big West Conference and have found themselves ranked in the top 10 in individual statistical categories. Senior midfielder Rafael Garcia, who serves as a captain on the squad, is currently tied for fifth in the conference for shots taken with 17. Redshirt freshman midfielder Gustavo Villalobos sits one back of that mark with 16 shots. With two assists against Air Force, Garcia now leads the team and sits in a tie for sixth in the conference in that category. Freshman forward Sam Ball moved into the top 10 in points this week and is currently tied for ninth with 6. He also leads the Big West in points per game with an average of 1.50. After scoring against Air Force, Ball leaped to a tie for fifth in the conference in goals scored with 3. As a team, CSUN is second only to UC Irvine in corner kicks taken with 42.
With three additional victories, head coach Terry Davila will become the fifth coach in Big West history to win 100 game as a member of the conference. Even though Davila enters the 2010 season with 110 career wins to his credit, the first 14 were earned as member of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. In 2001 the Matadors switched conference affiliation from the MPSF to the Big West, since then Davila's teams have compiled a 97-56-30 overall record (.530 pct.). With his first victory over a conference opponent in 2010 Davila will also become just the third head coach to win 50 or more conference games.
The 2010 Cal State Northridge men's soccer team received 27 points and were picked to finish fourth in the 2010 Big West Men's Soccer Preseason Coaches poll as announced by the league office in mid-August. Northridge was narrowly edged out by Cal Poly as the Mustangs earned 28 points to claim third place by a slim one point margin. Finishing in second place with 43 total points and one first place vote was UC Irvine, with UC Santa Barbara leading the way with 48 points and six first place votes. Cal State Fullerton's 22 points were enough to secure fifth place, with UC Davis and UC Riverside rounding out the poll in sixth and seventh place respectively with 17 and 11 points. This is the third straight season that Northridge was predicted to finish in fourth place; last season CSUN received 32 overall and one first place point en route to a 10-8-2 overall record, clinching a spot in the 2009 Big West Men's Soccer Postseason Tournament.
Tickets for all home men's matches are available through the CSUN Associated Students Ticket Office. Adults are $5, while youth 17 and under and seniors 60 and older are $3. There is also a $3 discounted rate ticket for CSUN Faculty/Staff, Military Service Personnel and CSUN Alumni Association Members with their respective identification cards.
CSUN students receive free admission to all home games with their CSUN I.D. Groups of 10 or more people may purchase $3 tickets, but tickets must be purchased a minimum of 24 hours in advance. For more information, call the A.S. Ticket Office at 818-677-2488.

After being swept in playoffs, Dirk says Mavericks need playmakers
DALLAS - "No more questions for you bro."
That is what Russell Westbrook said to a reporter at the post-game press conference for the fourth and final game of the first round series between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Dallas Mavericks.
Westbrook was put into a lose-lose situation when he was asked whether or not he thought James Harden was a player worthy of a max contract so he decided not to answer. It was kind of funny, because Harden himself had been putting the Mavericks in lose-lose situations all night long.
Harden was the best player on the floor in game four, even on a night where Dirk Nowitzki regained his 2011 touch for a stretch. But as Nowitzki went cold late in the game, Harden only got better, and the bearded one was the key cog in Oklahoma City's extremely impressive fourth quarter tear that brought them back from the 13-point deficit they faced at the end of the third period. The Thunder didn't complicate things during their 35-16 run in the game's final 12 minutes. They simply gave the ball to their best creator and allowed him to do his thing.
With a steady dose of pick-and-rolls and a few one-on-one blow bys, Harden set up a camp site in the painted area and kept getting back there on almost every possession. When the Thunder went with a high screen and roll from the top of the key, Harden made the right reads every single time. His decision making in the fourth quarter was impeccable. If he had the space to get to the restricted area, he'd attack the rim. If the Mavericks forced him to split the defense, he would. If help defenders came to stop him from getting a layup, he'd dish it off to a cutter or a spot-up shooter. No matter what adjustments the Mavs' defense made, Harden reacted and beat it every time. Harden finished with 29 points on 11-of-16 shooting (3-for-4 from 3-point range), five assists, five rebounds and three steals, with 15 points and three assists in the fourth quarter.
As Dirk would point out later that night, the Thunder's trio of stars all had their shining moments in this series. Westbrook carried Oklahoma City in games one and two, Kevin Durant broke out for 31 points on 15 shots in game three and Harden dominated game four in the best playoff performance of his career. With Nowitzki taking a step back from the incredible level of play he reached last year, the Mavericks were unable to overcome the Thunder's sheer amount of firepower.
* * *
"We need some guys that can make plays for themselves."
That is what Dirk listed as the top priority for the Mavericks' front office this off-season just an hour after his team's title defense was ended as quickly as possible. Of course, to say that the team Dallas put on the floor this year was given a real shot to defend their title would be misleading. Jason Terry said "it was a long shot" for the Mavericks to repeat as NBA Champions this season and Nowitzki voiced some displeasure about not having guys like Tyson Chandler, J.J. Barea or DeShawn Stevenson back so that the team could have a real chance at keeping the O'Brien Trophy in town.
That was the plan, though; a "business decision," as Dirk deemed it, made by owner Mark Cuban and general manager Donnie Nelson to create cap space for this off-season. While Nowitzki admitted that this was the first time during his career that the Mavericks would have money to spend, you can see why he would be upset with the way things were handled. As timeless as we like to think NBA superstars are, particularly one with a grounded game like Nowitzki, you never know how much time these players have to give at this level. It would be tragic for Dirk to have what could have been his last legit shot at a title taken away to create room for signings that may or may not happen and, unfortunately, that's a possibility.
As many as eight players may have taken off their Maverick uniforms for the last time Saturday night and while they were not all difference makers or mainstays - guys like Delonte West and Vince Carter were never expected to be around long-term - to see Jason Kidd or Jason Terry go would be a huge blow to this franchise. Nowitzki said that he thought Terry was going to test the open market this summer and with pretty much every team except the Thunder desperate for a scoring punch off the bench, he'll surely garner a ton of attention and offers, and those around the team believe that Kidd will retire this summer unless a certain Dallas native comes back home.
Then there's the head coach, Rick Carlisle, who played a huge part in Dallas' success over the past few years, especially defensively. Even though Nelson stated that Carlisle wouldn't be going anywhere, Dirk delivered some fairly ominous quotes like "I thought over the four years, [Carlisle] tried to do a good job," when asked if he wants Carlisle back, which he didn't come close to saying, and Carlisle declined to offer any insight on his situation when asked. Maverick fans should hope that Nelson won't change his mind in the next month or so and ends up signing Carlisle to a long-term deal. He's earned as much.
There were some positive signs in the locker room on exit interview day, albeit subtle. Kidd wore a Rangers shirt on the same day that Deron Williams tweeted a picture of himself wearing a Josh Hamilton jersey for church.
"[Williams is] a Rangers fan, I guess," Nowitzki said. "He can watch plenty of games."
In addition to his seemingly coordinated choice of attire (Kidd and Williams have the same agent), Kidd also firmly endorsed the idea of being Williams' back-up.
"Oh, I can definitely back him up," Kidd said. "That's an easy job. I can be a penalty killer, minutes killer. I'll just have to watch a little hockey and figure out how to kill time, but I could definitely accept that role."
Nowitzki seemed ready to embrace a two star situation that would lighten the load on his shoulders a bit. After the game on Saturday, Dirk said that nowadays teams need to have a few scoring options that teams can give the ball and can rely on to score. The side effects of Williams joining the team would be huge for a Dallas team that was just eliminated from the post-season because they only had one player capable of getting his own shot.
Of course, the side effects of Williams spurning his hometown team for the lavish new digs in Brooklyn would be equally as impactful in a negative way. Not only would the Mavericks be missing out on adding a top three point guard in basketball and a player capable of being a number one scoring option on the perimeter, their decision not to bring back the 2011 championship team will haunt the franchise for years.
There is only one thing that is certain as the Mavs enter this opaque off-season: The Dallas Mavericks will look dramatically different on the opening day of the 2012-13 NBA season. Now it's time to wait and see if that's for the better or for the worse.

Video:A Tour of Mount Vernonwith Holly Deambrosi
Mount Vernon is the plantation home of George Washington, the nation's first president, and is situated just outside of Washington, D.C. Here are some tips on visiting Mount Vernon, including when to go, what to see and how to get there.See Transcript
Transcript:A Tour of Mount Vernon
Above the banks of the beautiful Potomac River is America's most visited historic home. This estate is Mount Vernon, the plantation of the United States' first President, George Washington.
This historic site, maintained by the Mount Vernon Ladies Association, is 16 miles south of Washington, DC, at the southern end of the George Washington parkway. General admission is currently $15 for adults and $7 for children ages 6 to 11. Open every day of the year, Mount Vernon draws 1 million visitors annually.
What to See at Mount Vernon
At the Ford Orientation Center and the Donald W. Reynolds Museum & Education Center, visitors can peruse displays of over 700 artifacts that include furnishings, rare books, jewelry, and Revolutionary War items. Theaters present short films about George Washington. At the mansion, you can see many of the original furnishings and items that the Washington family owned.
The plantation has more than a dozen buildings. From April through October, tours and events besides the mansion tour include George Washington's Pioneer Farmer Site, a Garden & Landscape Tour, a Slave Life Tour at the Slave Burial Ground and Memorial, and a Tribute at the Tomb. These sites are also accessible throughout the year. Other sites on the plantation include the Wharf, the Forest Trail, and the Distillery & Gristmill.
Mount Vernon Boasts Hundreds of Acres of Farming and Gardening
Of the hundreds of acres that make up Mount Vernon, 50 are open to the public, including 4 acres at the Pioneer Farmer Site and 6 acres of gardens. Washington used the Fruit Garden and Nursery as a test garden to see whether new seeds would sprout on the estate and whether new plants would thrive elsewhere on the grounds.
The Lower Garden's fruit, vegetables, and herbs kept Mount Vernon's kitchen supplied with garden-fresh produce. The Upper Garden includes an array of trees, flowers, and vegetable beds.
Sightseeing Cruises on the Potomac Also Offered at Mount Vernon
From the middle of March until October, the estate also offers narrated, 40-minute cruises on the Potomac River. This sightseeing tour on the water gives visitors another view of the estate. If you want to take it all in, plan to visit for several hours, a whole day, or maybe even a second trip.
The estate tends to have more visitors in the morning, on weekends, and from April through October, although weekend activity slows down after school starts up again in August and September. There's no doubt that the beauty and historical significance of Mount Vernon will give you enriching experiences to remember for years to come.

Transcript From Bushs Television Interview
By REUTERS
Published: February 8, 2004
WASHINGTON - Following is a transcript of an interview aired on Sunday by NBC's Meet the Press with President Bush. The interviewer was Tim Russert.
RUSSERT: And we are in the Oval Office this morning with the President of the United States. Mr. President, welcome back to Meet The Press.
BUSH: Thank you, sir.
RUSSERT: On Friday, you announced a committee, commission to look into intelligence failures regarding the Iraq war and our entire intelligence community. You have been reluctant to do that for some time. Why?
BUSH: Well, first let me kind of step back and talk about intelligence in general, if I might. Intelligence is a vital part of fighting and winning the war against the terrorists. It is because the war against terrorists is a war against individuals who hide in caves in remote parts of the world, individuals who have these kind of shadowy networks, individuals who deal with rogue nations.
So, we need a good intelligence system. We need really good intelligence. So the commission I set up is to obviously analyze what went right or what went wrong with the Iraqi intelligence. It was kind of lessons learned. But it's really set up to make sure the intelligence services provide as good a product as possible for future presidents as well. This is just a part of analyzing where we are on the war against terror.
There is a lot of investigations going on about the intelligence service, particularly in the Congress, and that's good as well. The Congress has got the capacity to look at the intelligence gathering without giving away state secrets, and I look forward to all the investigations and looks. Again, I repeat to you, the capacity to have good intelligence means that a president can make good calls about fighting this war on terror.
RUSSERT: Prime Minister Blair has set up a similar commission in Great Britain.
BUSH: Yeah.
RUSSERT: His is going to report back in July. Ours is not going to be until March of 2005, five months after the presidential election.
BUSH: Yeah.
RUSSERT: Shouldn't the American people have the benefit of the commission before the election?
BUSH: Well, the reason why we gave it time is because we didn't want it to be hurried. This is a strategic look, kind of a big picture look about the intelligence gathering capacities of the United States of America, whether it be the capacity to gather intelligence in North Korea or how we've used our intelligence to, for example, learn more information about AQ Kahn. And it's important that this investigation take its time.
Now, look, we are in a political season. I fully understand people saying he's trying to avoid responsibility. There is going to be ample time for the American people to assess whether or not I made good calls, whether or not I used good judgment, whether or not I made the right decision in removing Saddam Hussein from power, and I look forward to that debate, and I look forward to talking to the American people about why I made the decisions I made.
The commission I set up, Tim, is one that will help future presidents understand how best to fight the war on terror, and it's an important part of the kind of lessons learned in Iraq and lessons learned in Afghanistan prior to us going in, lessons learned that we can apply to both Iran and North Korea because we still have a dangerous world. And that's very important for, I think, the people to understand where I'm coming from to know that this is a dangerous world. I wish it wasn't.
I'm a war president. I make decisions here in the Oval Office in foreign policy matters with war on my mind. Again, I wish it wasn't true, but it is true. And the American people need to know they got a president who sees the world the way it is. And I see dangers that exist, and it's important for us to deal with them.
RUSSERT: Will you testify before the commission?
BUSH: This commission? You know, I don't testify? I will be glad to visit with them. I will be glad to share with them knowledge. I will be glad to make recommendations, if they ask for some.
I'm interested in getting, I'm interested in making sure the intelligence gathering works well. (Let me) just give you a sense of where I am on the intelligence systems of America. First of all, I strongly believe the CIA is ably led by George Tenet. He comes and briefs me on a regular basis about what he and his analysts see in the world.
RUSSERT: His job is not in jeopardy?
BUSH: No, not at all, not at all. We've got people working hard in intelligence gathering around the world to get as good an information as possible. Intelligence requires, you know, all kinds of assets to bring information to the President, and I want that intelligence service to be strong, viable, competent, confident, and provide good product to the President so I can make judgment calls.
RUSSERT: There is another commission right now looking into Sept. 11.
BUSH: Yeah.
RUSSERT: Will you testify before that commission?
BUSH: We have given extraordinary cooperation with Chairmen Kean and Hamilton. As you know, we made an agreement on what's called "Presidential Daily Briefs," and they could see the information the CIA provided me that is unique, by the way, to have provided what's called the PDB.
RUSSERT: Presidential Daily Brief?

Thanks to the Spring 2012 CELASA Lecture, USF students
and staff had the opportunity to meet world-renowned author, playwright, and
poet Cherrie Moraga. Following an engaging and highly attended lecture,
participants had the chance to purchase Moraga's latest book, A Xicana Codex of Changing Consciousness
and receive personal dedications and signatures from Moraga herself. Among many
other works, Moraga is best known for co-editing the feminist anthology This Bridge Called My Back: Writing By
Radical Women of Color with Gloria Anzaldúa in 1984. Moraga has written and
directed several plays that have been featured nationally and throughout venues
in the Bay Area. She resides in Fruitvale, Oakland.
As a third year Latin American Studies student, I had the
once in a lifetime experience of personally interviewing Moraga just before her
lecture. I first discovered Cherrie Moraga's work out of pure curiosity and
coincidence, when I would spend hours freshman year flipping through the
seemingly endless supply of books concerning gender and sexuality in Gleeson
library, dealing with my own struggles of identity and belonging. Given my
personal investment in these topics and Moraga's stature as a key figure in the
Feminist solidarity and lesbian movement, the subsequent interview was written
concerning these themes.
L.G.Within feminist scholarship and activism,
the debate between "same-ness" and "difference" has proved to be a particularly
contentious issue with no clear solution or answer. That said, what would you
say is the danger in asserting our "sameness," as lesbian women, to a
heteronormative and heterosexist American public? In what ways can it be
politically advantageous?
C.M. Well it's
very problematic… and boring (laughs). It's a strategy that emerged around
the gay marriage thing, and it emerged with virulence. It's a very conventional
and assimilationist model that is gay, middle class, and white. So it's not
only problematic because it's suggesting that there's nothing particular about
queer sexuality. That's of least concern
to me. It's more that the conventionality of the model makes it a domesticized
view of desire and also that really what we want is the same things as
heterosexuals: the nuclear family, marriage; all of these components which from
a feminist perspective we've already critiqued. Not every lesbian is a
feminist, but if every lesbian were a feminist they shouldn't want this either,
because it really contradicts a whole movement that critiqued the nuclear
family and the hierarchy of the nuclear family. Just because it's two women
does not mean that it doesn't also support a whole system of Capitalism and all
that goes with it. And what it also does is negate anybody whose sexuality and
gender doesn't really fit into that model – people who want multiple partners,
people who are not consistently lesbian who may be in fact bisexual, all kinds
of things. It does nothing for transpeople. All of it is really to me very assimilationist
and conservative. I have no problem with people who want to get married but I
don't consider it as cutting edge. As queer people I understood that being
queer meant that you challenge the systems of heterosexuality, the nuclear family,
marriage and all of it.
L.G.So then does it hurt or help more when we
assert our difference?
C.M. Well,
you're talking about political strategies and you use different political
strategies based on what your objectives are. People who are, for example, very
into gay marriage, as their strategy say
'we are just like you,' so that they can normalize gayness so that people won't
be afraid to give rights to gay marriage. But if your political strategy is
that you see lesbianism and lesbian feminism as a critique of all those things,
then the role of the queer person is to challenge those kinds of assumptions
about how desire functions. If two women can desire each other it throws into
set certain questions about femininity and gender. That's our job, that's what
we're supposed to do as lesbians. A lot of people don't feel that way, that's
cool, but from a political perspective, if your strategy is to be completely
integrated into mainstream heterosexual America, then it's a good strategy to
talk about sameness. If you're interested in changing heterosexual, capitalist,
middle class America, then your strategy would be to point out the difference.
It depends upon what your politics are and what your goal is.
L.G. In September of 1979 you wrote the following
in your essay La Güera: "What is my responsibility to my roots – both white and
brown, Spanish-speaking and English? I am a woman with a foot in both worlds;
and I refuse the split." In what ways have you tried to negotiate your membership
in multiple groups? Can you describe the experience of embodying multiple
C.M. Well,
you're asking questions that take years to answer. The road that I have walked
in my life as a mixed blood Chicana and as a lesbian has more and more put me …(pause)
I am always the blood quantum that I am. But culturally and the life that I've
lived and the values with which I've raised my own children , the relationship
I have with my family and my partner and all those other things is pretty
Chicano. So I don't feel like it's prescriptive – how one deals with being
biracial. When I said I refuse the split, I really felt like typically what
happens in a white dominated society is that you're encouraged to assimilate anyway.
So as a mixed blood person, you can get an incredible amount of benefits from
that assimilation. My mother and family have always been very Mexican with the
exception of my father, so for me, culturally I felt very Chicana. But I was
very encouraged to assimilate. Politically, I wasn't able to do that, and
personally and emotionally I wasn't able to do that. So the road I've walked
has been very much defined by my identity as a Chicana. But I've never denied
that I'm mixed blood and I've never denied my family. It's not just my father
that's white but my sister married white and many of my cousins are white. Many
of us Chicanos have a lot of different races in our families. So when people
ask me that type of question I get nervous about people assuming that there's
some kind of correct way to be with it – My hope is that people will maintain
their consciousness around color and not that they would superimpose something
on themselves that didn't feel real but to really recognize that DNA has memory
and that there's something there for them. That each person has to sort of come
to those things on their own and differently. Particularly if you can pass for
white, differently than someone who can't – because then the world forces you
to respond. If you can pass, the world forces you to respond, too but they're
trying to force you to respond as a white person and it may not fit. If it
doesn't fit, that's what should be explored. If it fits, then that's your
business, but if it doesn't fit and it's a source of agitation – it's the
agitation that you go to, it's that place that causes you then to be whole, not
broken, not in pieces, not half and half but whole – in the way that your
spirit calls you to be.
L.G. You've written much about the ways in which
what it means to be a lesbian is not at all universal or uninfluenced by
questions of race, class, and ethnicity. In your view, what is the biggest
obstacle to solidarity between white lesbians and lesbian women of color? How
might we go about reconciling such obstacles?
C.M. Class, I
think its class above all else. Because the way class operates in this country
is related to race. What I have noticed is that when white women and white
lesbians relate to women of color what they're really sort of connecting with
is that they're middle class. What really divides queer people in general not
just lesbians is class. If you look at working class lesbians, including white
women, that's a really different world. So those of us who have come from
working class backgrounds, even if we do get an education, the cultural
differences that you feel are so much affected by class access and notions of privilege
and entitlement. If I could say anything about the years in which why I
couldn't work with white women politically it's the issue of entitlement. And
entitlement is a really hard thing to break – this idea that you're entitled to
certain things. That's also at the heart of the gay marriage thing – that
people feel that they are entitled to what heterosexuals get because they're
white, they're middle class, and they're free. So, it's always race and class
together, but in my history the white women that I connected with best in my
life through all my years of being queer have been working class. We share that
understanding that we're not entitled, that the universe doesn't revolve around
us. There's something about the kind of solidarity that comes from people of
working class backgrounds that's really very powerful and very important.
L.G. In your essay "La Güera," while drawing on
Audre Lorde, you speak of the importance of looking within oneself, "assessing
the damage" of the oppression we may have internalized for being queer,
working-class, or the racialized "other." As you mention, this is a challenge
which many of us refuse to confront. What does this process of "looking within"
entail? Why is it necessary for self-actualization?
C.M. I don't
know anyone who is not broken, for some reason in their life. If we have any
proposito, any purpose for being here, you can't really be very effective if
you haven't really looked at yourself, you're kind of useless. And that's the
beauty of youth, that process is that you're constantly having to confront what
you don't know because you are changing so much and all the places in yourself
that are not being expressed or that have been somehow deformed – you have
ample opportunity to do that as you grow up. Once you're 'cooked', once you're
older, like in your thirties even, it gets more and more difficult to keep that
process going so that you will still be of use. So that's what I meant by
looking inside so that you can give something to the world.

Until I trip on the ice in front of a big box store, break the watch open and sue the both the manufacturer of the watch for using Tritium and the big box store for having unsafe practices in regards to ice that could cause both personal injury and environmental concerns in the form of Tritium leaks. The irony of course being that nuclear power plants (which produce tritium as a by product) and big box stores are both things that most Americans don't want in their back yard.
The tritium at Vermont Yankee was contained as well... until it wasn't anymore. But I do agree that they should have to clean it up and pay the price. The generl public does need more confidence in nuclear.

Stech joins Os
Filed: Friday, 24th February 2012
By: Staff Writer
Reserve goalkeeper Marek Stech has joined League One outfit Orient on a month-long emergency loan.
The Czech under-21 goalkeeper has moved to Brisbane Road as emergency cover for regular Os stopper Lee Butcher, who sustained a a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament at Scunthorpe last weekend.
With reserve 'keeper Jamie Jones yet to make an appearance for Orient's first team this season having undergone surgery last summer on an injured goalkeeper, Os boss Russell Slade has turned to Stech - who will wear the number 27 shirt - in order to fill the void.
Stech's move across east London will come as something of a surprise to some Hammers fans given that interference from Leyton Orient - and owner Barry Hearn in particular - was one of the primary reasons for the Olympic Stadium being snatched back from West Ham.
The original decision to award use of the £500million stadium to the Hammers was reversed after Orient and Tottenham Hotspur took legal action in 2011, arguing that the bidding process had been unfairly tilted in West Ham's favour.
Stech will remain at Orient until 24th March, before when he could make six appearances. His new club are scheduled to play Bury (a), Walsall (h), Wycombe (a), Tranmere (a), Brentford (h) and MK Dons (a) prior to his return to West Ham.
Steched up: Marek on tour
Orient are the fourth club to whom Stech has been loaned since moving from Sparta Prague to West Ham in August 2006. The others are:
Wycombe Wanderers
(March to June 2009): 2 appearances
(November to December 2009): 1 appearance
(October to November 2011): 5 appearances

You can probably remember back to when you started blogging. The excitement you felt at getting your thoughts out on your own website, or the nervousness of beginning a long journey to making money from your content.
While that excitement is great, and you hope it lasts the rest of your life, you don't want to let it cause you to lose control of your blog, especially if you are interested in running it as a business.
Losing control can be one of the most dangerous things you encounter when blogging, and if you're not careful, you lose control without even realizing it.
Here are 5 tips to help you maintain control of your blog, and keep you on the pathway to becoming successful:
1. Stay Calm
Just because the top bloggers in your niche are kicking out a post 2-3 times a day, it doesn't mean you have to do the same to become successful. In fact, many very successful bloggers sometimes only post 1 article per week. Yaro Starak, for example, skips many days at a time on occasion.
As long as you're putting out great content and building your community effectively, it really doesn't matter how often you post, as long as it's consistent.
So stay calm.
It doesn't matter that you're running behind on getting a post out at exactly 8:00 am. Your readers will still see the post. It also doesn't matter that some of your Twitter followers didn't see that tweet about your latest blog post. You don't have to tweet it 5 times to make sure. In fact, sending that many tweets about the same thing could actually have a negative effect on you and the trust others have in you.
2. Limit Yourself
Don't think you have to spend 24 hours a day writing content, marketing it, or building your community. If you're spending that much time on your blog, your time management skills need to change.
Everything you need to do in a day for building your blog can be done in a short amount of time with the correct time management methods.
Spending too much time on your blog can also burn you out. Then before you realize it, you've stopped blogging altogether, and that doesn't make for a very effective business model.
3. Get Rid of Distractions
Those distractions you experience when writing an article, like answering emails, responding to someone on Facebook, or retweeting a great Twitter message, effect not only your quality of work, but also delay the time it takes you to get an article published.
The best thing you can do is to focus on one thing at a time, and make sure you're completely finished with the task at hand before moving onto another. Make a list in order of importance if you have to.
Making a list also helps keep you on track with what you need to get done. Whereas working haphazardly with no real direction can cause you to focus on things that have absolutely nothing to do with your blog.
4. Incorporate One Affiliate Program At A Time
One of the biggest mistakes I've seen among other bloggers interested in making money online is signing up for every affiliate network they can find all at one time and trying to implement them.
The best advice I can give you is to pick one affiliate network you want to work with, and really take the time to maximize it's effectiveness to fit you and your blog. Then move on to another.
Taking this approach keeps you from being overwhelmed, which is a major factor in many bloggers giving up altogether.
5. You Decide
Now, it's your turn. I'd like to hear your experiences that have caused you to either temporarily or permanently lose control. Leave me a comment, letting me know.

Attention: News editors, education reporters
TORONTO, June 13, 2012—The results of this year's Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT), which is administered every year to students in Grade 10 by the Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO), show that the vast majority have developed the literacy skills required to participate effectively and productively in life. Of the Grade 10 students who wrote the test, 82% were successful this year. Over the past five years, the provincial success rate has remained relatively stable, ranging between 82% and 85%.
A closer look at the results points to a notable 70/30 split in student achievement. The large majority of Ontario's Grade 10 students who wrote the test (71%, or 103 941) were enrolled in the academic English course in 2012, and more than nine out of 10 of those who wrote the test (93%, 95 250) were successful.
The results are different for the remaining 30%—some 43 000 students. For example, although 22% (33 142) of all Grade 10 students who wrote the test are enrolled in the applied English course, students from this course represent more than half (58%) of all those who were unsuccessful on the OSSLT this year. Since this pattern has been observed for a number of years, the findings suggest the effectiveness of the applied English course should be reviewed.
Analyzing the results further still, EQAO examined this year's Grade 10 students' results on the reading and writing components of the provincial assessments they wrote four years ago when in Grade 6. This analysis revealed that of the Grade 10 students who were not successful on the OSSLT this year, 78% had also not met the provincial reading standard in 2008. There continues to be a significant group of students progressing through the grades without receiving the literacy support they need to be successful.
"The publicly funded school system is doing a good job developing the literacy skills of the vast majority of its students—a fact that is consistently proven in provincial, national and international assessments," said Dr. Brian Desbiens, Chair of EQAO's Board of Directors. "However, the courses and supports designed specifically for students who need different kinds of programming to develop their literacy skills are not producing the outcomes EQAO's board of directors would expect to see."
"The evidence is clear that the earlier we identify and support students in need, the better chance we have at altering their path to help them find success," added Marguerite Jackson, EQAO's Chief Executive Officer. "Ontario's Grade 3 and Grade 6 students just finished writing the provincial tests last week, and we encourage their parents and guardians to pay close attention to the results they'll receive in September and work in partnership with teachers to support their child's learning."
OSSLT results by school and school board are available at www.eqao.com.

The reading results for the 123 246 students in the cohort are as follows:
Of the 37 837 students who wrote the OSSLT and who had not met the standard in reading in Grade 6,
Of the 20 898 students who were unsuccessful on the 2012 OSSLT and who had written the junior-division assessment in 2008,
The OSSLT measures whether students are meeting the minimum standard for literacy across all subjects up to the end of Grade 9, according to the expectations defined in The Ontario Curriculum. To meet the standard, students must be able to read and understand ideas and information in a variety of written texts most of the time and communicate ideas and information in writing clearly and without distracting errors in punctuation, spelling, grammar or organization most of the time.
Successful completion of the OSSLT is one of the 32 requirements for an Ontario Secondary School Diploma. Students who are unsuccessful on the test in Grade 10 can take it again the next school year or fulfill the diploma requirement by successfully completing the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Course.
EQAO was established in 1996, based on a recommendation from Ontario's Royal Commission on Learning. The all-party commission consulted extensively with teachers, parents, students and taxpayers. It concluded that province-wide assessments would contribute to greater quality and accountability in the publicly funded school system.
EQAO plays an important role in Ontario's school system by conducting province-wide tests at key points in every student's primary, junior and secondary education and by reporting the results. The tests measure student performance in reading, writing and mathematics based on the expectations set out in The Ontario Curriculum.
Results from EQAO testing are an important indicator of student learning and measure achievement in relation to a common provincial standard. The objective and reliable information gained through these assessments adds to the current knowledge about how Ontario students are doing and has become an important tool for improvement planning at the student, school, school board and provincial levels.

TERENA NREN Compendium - ISSN 1569-4496
The GÉANT Association Compendium provides an authoritative reference source for anyone with an interest in the development of research and education networking in Europe and beyond. Published since 2001, the Compendium provides information on key areas such as legal form; users; services; traffic; budget and staffing.
Production of the Compendium is supported financially by the European Union within the framework of the GÉANT project. The GÉANT Association is solely responsible for this publication. It does not represent the opinion of the European Community. The European Community is not responsible for any use that might be made of data appearing in this publication.
The Common NREN Information Model and the 2014 Compendium and Questionnaire
The Common NREN Information Model (CNIM) survey is the result of a collaborative effort by APAN, ASREN, Canarie, Internet2, RedCLARA, the GÉANT Association, UbuntuNet and WACREN. The intention of the CNIM is to document the work of National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) worldwide. The Common Information Model builds on earlier Compendium work done by TERENA, RedCLARA and APAN. Latin American NRENs are requested to complete the RedCLARA survey.
A .pdf version of the 2014 printed edition is now available!
The 2014 information is now in the format as entered by the NRENs.
The information from earlier years is still in the process of being double-checked and may be updated in certain areas with checked data in the coming period.
The new interface now allows you to download the Compendium reports from previous years and to see a number of reports, showing the situation in current and previous years. It also gives access to the individual NREN data.
Persons that submitted data for their NREN in 2014 are able to log in (via the top-right hand corner) and to see some additional features, such as the ability to highlight the data from their own NREN.
NRENs that still want to submit or change 2014 data are requested to contact the Compendium team.
Printed versions of the Compendium can be ordered from the GÉANT Association Amsterdam office and cost € 25 excluding postage and handling.
The development of the Common NREN Information Model is overseen by a panel composed of Omo Oaiya and Tiwonge Banda (Africa), Salem Alagtash (Arab region), Markus Buchhorn (Asia), Thomas Tam (Canada), Claudio Allocchio, Katrina Sataki, Mirjam Kühne, Helmut Sverenyák and Thomas Lenggenhager (Europe), and Marcela Larenas and Florencio Utreras (Latin America).
The current version of the Model is the second edition. It will evolve in future years. The panel requests and appreciates your feedback!

Comments about Womens New Balance Impact 3" Lined Shorts:
These are one of my favorite pairs of running shorts. I have two pairs.They are very lightweight, extremely comfortable, and are very flattering. I also really like that the key pocket has a zipper. The only thing to be mindful of is that they run slightly loose in the waist so you will probably want to size down. I chose a size down on the second pair of these I bought, and I am really glad that I did. For reference, I am 5'6", 125lbs. and went down from my usual small to an extra small.

Introduction to Chesapeake, Virginia
Chesapeake is a city in southeastern Virginia, situated about 11 miles south of Norfolk and about 12 miles north of the North Carolina border. It is also surrounded by Virginia Beach (to the east) and Suffolk (to the west). The city is serviced by Interstates I-64 and I-464 (connecting it to Norfolk); as well as U.S. Routes 13, 17, 58, and 460; and Virginia State Highway 168. Chesapeake Regional Airport is the city's general aviation facility, with Norfolk International Airport located nearby for commercial passenger service.
The City of Chesapeake was formed in 1963 when Norfolk County and the City of South Norfolk merged. The actual history of Chesapeake goes back much further...to the early 1600s when the area was first settled. The historic Battle of Great Bridge took place in what is now Chesapeake in 1775, marking an early Revolutionary War victory for American troops over the forces of British Royal governor Lord Dunmore. In 1793, work began on the Dismal Swamp Canal, which opened in 1805, but later experienced hard times and is today part of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. By 1920 South Norfolk had developed to the point where it was incorporated as a city, but by the 1950s, had fallen victim (along with Norfolk County) to annexation suits filed by neighboring cities. Finding it difficult to plan for the future, the two municipalities consolidated as the new city of Chesapeake in 1963. The city has continued to experience growth since that time, and today stands as a unique blend of rural and urban centers, with miles of waterfront industrial, commercial and residential property.
Chesapeake Area Attractions
Few locations offer as wide a variety of things to see and places to visit as the Hampton Roads metro area, and Chesapeake sits at the hub of the activity. The city is only 15 minutes from Norfolk, 20 minutes from the oceanfront, and 40 minutes from Colonial Williamsburg. Chesapeake has plenty of attractions in its own right, some of which are listed here:Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway: the historic waterway linking the Chesapeake Bay to North Carolinas sounds. Chesapeake Arboretum: Headquartered in an eighteenth century farmhouse with 48 acres of native plants and trees and trail systems which meander through a mature hardwood forest. Chesapeake City Park: A 75-acre site which hosts the annual Chesapeake Jubilee and Symphony Under the Stars and also houses the Chesapeake Skate Park. Chesapeake Planetarium: The first planetarium built by a public school system in the state of Virginia. Chesapeake Veterans Memorial: Commemorates the service and sacrifice of Chesapeake citizens who have served or are serving in the military. Deep Creek Lock Park: Heavily wooded with a pedestrian bridge and foot trails. Dismal Swamp Canal Trail: An 8.5 mile long multipurpose trail which accommodates horse owners, bicyclists, walkers, joggers, and boat owners. Great Bridge Lock Park: A 19-acre venue featuring a two-lane boat ramp, picnic shelters, a foot trail, a large play area, and extensive fishing and crabbing areas. Portlock Galleries at SoNo: A renovated contemporary art gallery which hosts local and traveling exhibits.
Virginia is the most populous U.S. state which does not host a major professional sports league franchise. However, the Chesapeake area is within short driving distance from the host venues of some quality minor-league professional teams. The Norfolk Tides, a Class Triple-A farm team for the Baltimore Orioles, play their International League home games at Harbor Park located only 15 minutes away in the city of Norfolk. Also in Norfolk are the Norfolk Admirals, a minor-league pro ice hockey team which competes in the American Hockey League (AHL). The Admirals are affiliated with the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning. Nearby Hampton is the home of the Hampton Roads Piranhas, a soccer team belonging to the United Soccer Leagues Premier Development League (PDL).

You are not alone in this situation; we are here to hold your hand and guide you every step of the way.
The best possible option for the treatment of a drug or alcohol addiction is to find a quality Alcohol Treatment or Drug Rehabilitation Center in Chesapeake. The most important goal of any Drug Rehabilitation or Alcohol Rehab Program in Chesapeake, VA. should be to help the individual that is in treatment to get to the place where they will be able to live their life successfully without using drugs and alcohol. By doing this, these individuals can avoid the dreadful consequences that are so often associated with addiction and alcoholism. An individual that is able to remain sober will not have to deal with all of the negative consequences are so often linked to a drug or alcohol addiction problem.
There are so many available treatment approaches that are in close proximity to Chesapeake, including Short-term Drug Rehabilitation Facilities, Long-term Drug Treatment Centers, Outpatient Drug Rehabilitation Facilities, Inpatient Drug Treatment Centers, sober living, halfway houses, support group meetings and drug counseling. We are here to help you to figure out what drug rehab treatment approach would best serve you or your loved one in Chesapeake, Virginia that is struggling with a drug or alcohol addiction.
A quality Drug Rehab or Alcohol Rehabilitation Center in Chesapeake, should make a point of focusing on both the physical and the psychological aspects of the drug or alcohol addiction. The physical aspect of the drug or alcohol addiction can be treated by the detoxification component of the Chesapeake, Virginia Alcohol Rehab or Drug Rehabilitation Facility; a treatment program will be able to assist the individual by helping to alleviate some of the uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms that accompany the detox process. The withdrawal symptoms occur because the brain has adapted to the consistent use of the substance; after a period of time, it will take more and more of the substance, in order to produce the same desired effects. It is at this point, that the individual from Chesapeake has developed a physical tolerance to the drugs such as cocaine, heroin, marijuana, opiates, and alcohol, just to name a few. When an individual from Chesapeake, Virginia abruptly discontinues any type of substance that their body has become accustomed to having, serious withdrawal symptoms may occur; the body may take several weeks or even months to return to normal functioning, depending on what types of drugs have been abused. If an individual from Chesapeake has been addicted to a drug such as heroin, the associated withdrawal symptoms may be much more severe.
A Drug Treatment or Alcohol Rehabilitation Center in Chesapeake also needs to address the various psychological issues that are invariably associated with a drug or alcohol addiction; a comprehensive recovery program will utilize various treatment techniques in order to accomplish this. These components of the Chesapeake, Virginia Alcohol Rehabilitation or Drug Rehab Facility can include individual or group counseling, drug relapse prevention education and some form of aftercare treatment or follow up care. All of these elements of a Drug Rehabilitation or Alcohol Treatment Facility will work in unison to help the individual from Chesapeake to get to the root of the drug or alcohol addiction, so that they can maintain long term sobriety.
The best possible solution for an individual from Chesapeake, VA. with a severe drug or alcohol addiction, is to locate a Drug Rehabilitation or Alcohol Treatment Center that statistically has a high rate of long term success. A top notch Alcohol Rehabilitation or Drug Rehab Center in Chesapeake will ultimately be equipped to administer a comprehensive treatment program that will help the individual in every single aspect of their daily lives.
In order for an individual from Chesapeake to experience a successful drug recovery, they have to relearn many of the skills that they will use in their daily lives. They will need to use these skills daily, when they return home to Chesapeake, Virginia, where they will encounter some of the reminders and triggers from their drug using days. An Alcohol Treatment or Drug Rehabilitation Facility in Chesapeake will have educated the recovering addict on how to successfully respond to these familiar triggers that can often produce a high amount of psychological stress.
Many individuals from Chesapeake, VA. may try to overcome a drug or alcohol addiction without professional help. Because of the ways in which drugs alter the various functions in the brain, an individual from Chesapeake with the strongest desire to overcome their drug or alcohol addiction on their own will only meet with failure. With all of the above mentioned challenges that are associated with overcoming a drug or alcohol addiction, it is no wonder that so many people from Chesapeake each year enroll in an Alcohol Rehabilitation or Drug Treatment Program. There are so many important reasons why an individual should enroll in a Drug Treatment or Alcohol Rehab Facility in Chesapeake, but the best reason is to be able to once again be close to family and loved ones.
Getting Help
Getting help is easy, just dial toll free 1-888-852-5869 in order to speak to a registered addiction specialist or simply fill out the Chesapeake, Virginia Drug Rehabilitation or Alcohol Rehab Facility request form and a counselor will contact you shortly.

Hockey roster released; Team will carry 4 goalies
The 2012-13 Michigan hockey roster was released Thursday and, despite only three goalies being listed, the team plans on carrying four.
Incoming freshman goaltender Steven Racine was omitted from the roster. He was left out for protocol reasons, as it's typical for players who didn't sign a National Letter of Intent to require clearance from the University's Compliance office before being added. A similar scenario occurred last season with sophomore goalie Luke Dwyer.
Following the formality, Racine's name will be added as the fourth goaltender, marking the first time Michigan has carried that many since 1997. That season, current NHL goalie Marty Turco led the quartet of Wolverine backstops. Incoming freshman Jared Rutledge is expected to be the starter this season.
The incoming freshmen who have been officially added to the roster are as follows with sweater number in parentheses: Rutledge (28), defenseman Jacob Trouba (8) and forwards Justin Selman (10), Boo Nieves (12), Daniel Milne (16) and Andrew Copp (18).
The roster can be viewed in its entirety at: http://www.mgoblue.com/sports/m-hockey/mtt/mich-m-hockey-mtt.html

Latest plans for rail industry 'a disaster' for Cumbrian passengers
Last updated at 09:25, Saturday, 10 March 2012
A rail union leader says it will be a disaster for the industry and passengers if Government proposals go ahead.
Carlisle-based RMT regional organiser Craig Johnston has branded plans that could see passengers forking out more for peak-time fares as "appalling".
He says his union will continue to press the Government not to go through with the reforms, arguing that they will leave passengers in Cumbria harder out of pocket than most.
As part of proposals it emerged that some travellers could be rewarded for avoiding the peak times, others could pay more in order to "smooth demand" at the busiest times.
They were some of the findings from a paper published by Transport Secretary Justine Greening in response to a Whitehall-commissioned rail report on cost-cutting by Sir Roy McNulty.
Mr Johnston said: "It's a disaster for the industry. It's scandalous what's going on.
"It's a disaster for the railways, a disaster for rail workers and a disaster for passengers. It's the Con-Dem Government's triple-whammy."
The union official fears cost cuts on the railways could jeopardise passenger safety if drivers are forced to work alone without guards on the train. He has also raised fears about the impact on services should more ticket offices close.
Carlisle MP John Stevenson, co-chairman of the all-party Parliamentary group on the West Coast Mainline, believes a balance believes policy should strike a compromise.
He said: "It's about getting the balance between ensuring those who need to travel at peak times are not overcharged and encouraging passengers to go at off-peak times to get better use of the railway system.
"I understand the idea of having a more flexible pricing system. It's trying to manage demand."
The RMT nationally has raised the possibility of strike action, fearing that up to 12,000 jobs could be at risk.
Ms Greening outlined billions of pounds worth of savings that would be made over the next few years so that above-inflation fare rises for season ticket holders would be ended.
She said smart ticketing technology, so that passengers across England and Wales could enjoy Oyster-style tickets, would be rolled out. The consultation paper also explores the possibility of cheaper season tickets for those who do not work a full five-day week. But just how, and when, changes to fares and the way they are bought will pan out will not be known until the end of the consultation on fares and ticketing.
Mr Johnston believes rail travellers in Cumbria are already penalised for the cost of fares to major cities with further rises only making things worse.
Rail industry bodies the Association of Train Operating Companies, Network Rail and the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) all welcomed the command paper, with ORR saying it was essential that railway "delivered for customers on cost, safety and performance.
Trade body the CBI said the Government had set out "much-needed clarity and direction for the future of our railways", but the TUC expressed concern at the possible fare rises and possible cuts to ticketing and station staff.

A newcomer to YouTube, Jo Jo Fildi just celebrated her main channel's one year anniversary on May 27. In just a year's time, Fildi has cultivated an audience of over 2 thousand subscribers.
"We have been homeless and bankrupt, and have had personal loses," said Fildi. "But we've always believed in the bigger picture and our ability to succeed through adversity."
Jo Jo Fildi is a virtual name to protect Jo Jo's family, including her two little daughters.
Fildi is an acronym for Fantastic Idea Let's Do It. This is the name of Jo Jo's YouTube channel.
FILDI is her business that is a culmination of all her creative pursuits including her creation of clothing.
"I had an Etsy shop for a few years when I used to write a craft blog, it never felt as if it flowed well," said Fildi. "Despite getting some big orders, I didn't feel like it had any momentum. Then one day, I made myself a melon hat to cheer me up, and it all just snowballed from there."
She says she now has found a niche.
"I adore making my fellow fruit bats hats and gloves that they can wear with pride," said Fildi of her high carb low fat vegan customers.
Starting a successful business and YouTube channel is something Fildi has wanted to do for many years, but she had been sick and under the poverty line.
When she started trying to help others in her endeavor to help herself Fildi found the perfect combination.
"We had been through so many experiences in a short amount of time and thought that we should start chronicling our journey, which I hoped would help others," said Fildi. "We wanted to talk about our lives, dreams and challenges."
The main idea behind Fildi's YouTube channel is responsible entrepreneurship. She talks about how she has built her business while putting out a vegan message of reducing the pain and death incurred by farm animals.
"I've enjoyed a lot of videos where I've talked about motivational thinking," said Fildi. "My favorite videos are always the ones that contain laughter and spontaneous raw footage."
For Fildi, it started out as a desire to feed her family, and having a family channel was important to her.
Many viewers on YouTube are parents and children.
Fildi has elected to teach her children outside of the school system. She homeschools her two daughters.
"We live quite an unconventional life, and often have to throw caution to the wind and go for it," said Fildi.
In starting her main channel, Fildi said she was worried about what people would think of how she has chosen to live her life and raise her children, but it has turned out to be a point of interest rather than a disconnect for her subscribers.
"You'll never be able to please everyone, but as long as you're true to yourself and your audience, then that to me is the best outcome," said Fildi.
A very popular YouTube couple, Freelee the Banana Girl and DurianRider, had encouraged Fildi to try to help others through YouTube.
Fildi and her family live on the Isle of Wight in the U.K.
She said her success on YouTube and in her small businesses has come down to her attempts to live an "authentic life and be the best version of herself. "
Fildi said she and her husband got past their financial and emotional woes by having a sense of humor.
"Our family is always laughing, and my husband is the practical joker," said Fildi. "I grew up with my mum and sister, and we used laughter to heal sore hearts and to deal with challenging situations."
She credits her mother with getting her started on sewing. Fildi's Etsy.com shop has grown with the popularity of her YouTube channel.
"My Mum is an experienced sewer, but I taught myself to crochet," said Fildi. "I've taught my girls to crochet and knit too."
So what is next for Fildi and her family?
"Last year we did this animation (video)," said Fildi of how her efforts have built on themselves. "Last week, we were approached by IKEA to do an animation. That's something really to be proud of."
This is just another step in Fildi's journey she said.

Not Worth the Money
Why would you pay 400 bucks for the 10 when you could get the 09 for 220?
1. The graphics on the 09 or way more beast then the '10
2. It has the V'Rocker technology i dont really not much about it but if your such much intrested in park go get a real park board.
3. Other then .2 it same get! The 09 before it runs out
obviously you dont know what your talking about. you wont find another board with v-rocker technology at this price. it has way more pop and it is nearly impossible to catch an edge. this board is sick. unless you wanna pay 600 or more you should deff. get this board for park riding
