I am certified a teacher in secondary education for both math and science. I taught high school math and science for nine years at a Thornton high school. I have taught mathematics at Front Range Community College for the past ten years. I am currently employed by Front Range as an adjunct professor teaching anything from developmental math to college level Calculus. In this role, I am viewed by most students to be an excellent teacher, who knows how to convey mathematical understanding in an easy and understandable manner.
Prior to my teaching career, I was employed as an electrical engineer and a manager for the computer industry for thirty years. I have also worked as an intern for the National Renewable Energy Labs and University of Colorado Medical Center.
You will find my manner is concise and to the point. I attempt to focus on how I think about mathematics and work to understand the student's misconceptions. I look forward in working with you as your tutor. I am certified a teacher in secondary education for both math and science. I taught high school math and science for nine years at a Thornton high school. I have taught … Read more
Mike is a wonderful tutor! Mike sat right down and gave me his undivided attention. I learned a great deal in one session, and I left feeling not only more confident and in better control of the material, but with an appreciation for where I'm headed. Thanks Mike!
Mike worked with my 17 year old daughter for the first part of this school year (2014/2015) and has done an excellent job helping her to not only pass her Algebra class but also help her to truly understand the concepts. My daughter has always struggled with Algebra and has had to attend summer school every year since 9th grade to make up her math classes. She felt much more confident after her tutoring sessions with Mike. He took the time to really understand where her difficulty with the concepts are and then approached the subjects explaining them in a way that she was able to not only understand them but retain the information. Excellent job, Mike!
Mike is a very patient and generous person. He should know that on the way to the session, my daughter was against retaking the test that formed the bulk of the session (her teacher had said that she may retake the test to improve her grade). On the way home, she asked if I thought she had to make a copy of the test in hand. I told her that her teacher is bound to have other copies of that test, and all she has to do is ask for one. She said "OK". So THANK YOU, because now she has the confidence to take another run at this test and to improve her understanding and, consequently, her grade.
Mike is very patient and zeroes in on the learning that is necessary to successfully pass the tests. I highly recommend him.
I'm not 100% sure, but my guess is I am now one of the oldest students Mike has ever had. Being out of college for more years than I care to admit, and looking to become a Middle-School math teacher since moving to Denver just 7 months ago, I knew I was facing an uphill challenge. To his absolute credit, Mike was patient, supportive, and tireless in his efforts to "re-educate" me. While we couldn't possibly have known the extent of the subjects covered in the PLACE test in mathematics, he must have been doing something right, because I passed - something that I absolutely couldn't have accomplished without his help. He was totally "schedule flexible", and we crammed 10 hours of tutoring into the 1-1/2 weeks I had before taking the test. Oh, and did I mention that I recently landed a part-time job as a Middle School math teacher thanks to his incredible efforts. I would strongly recommend Mike K. as a tutor for anyone looking to improve their High School through College level math skills.
Mike knows his stuff and connects well with my teenage son. He is really responsive to setting appointment requests, too.
Mike helped our daughter with some pre-calc studies for a test she needed to take. He was very patient working with her and explained things in a way that she could understand, and he continually checked with her throughout the session to make sure they were "on the same page". And, before the session ended, he had her going through the problems as an extra check. I truly appreciate his working with her. We called him on a last minute basis and he truly accommodated us. Thank you so much!
Mike K is an excellent tutor and really knows his algebra. He is very patient and has certainly given me a better understanding of college algebra. I would use him again and highly recommend him as a math coach. He knows his stuff!!! He is prompt and thorough. Pleased with the tutoring!!!
Lessons are going well!!!
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
As a high school teacher I worked with students to improve their ACT scores. As this test allows only 60 minutes, test taking strategies to manage time becomes imperative.
As a 9th grade teacher for 5 years, teaching algebra 1 was my major focus. This is where I discovered being good in mathematics does not always mean you are a good teacher. You need to listen to students, provide "the" easiest and most direct means to solve problems. I know that I am a better college teacher as a result of teaching at a high school.
I currently hold a Colorado certification in secondary education to teach mathematics. Additionally, I am currently employed as an adjunct professor of mathematics at Front Range Community College.
The vast majority of classes that I have taught both at high school and college is algebra 2. I have a thorough understanding of this course content and what it takes to be successful in this classes and future math classes.
I have taken three semester of Calculus via my engineering degree. As an Electrical Engineer, circuit design required the use routine use of Calculus I have also taken a Calculus Refresher class while teaching high school. I have successfully tutored many students in this content area.
I worked as an Electrical Engineer for 30 years. I am very knowlegable in digital design and assembly level programming. Iam considered as a expert in the field of digital design and boolean algebra. I hold several patents in this area. I am an expert in the design of Solid State devices. This is the result of working with Storage Technology Corp. and IBM for 25 plus years. I have also worked with the head of the Electrcal Enineering department of the University fo Colorado to do process delvelopment in microcode processes.
I currently hold a Colorado certification in secondary education to teach mathematics. Additionally, I am currently employed as an adjunct professor of mathematics at Front Range Community College.
Geometry is certainly a different kind of math. It seemingly has an endless amount of theorems and postulates to remember. My approach is to focus of a few basic ideas that can be use universally and then build from there. Geometry is an important area of mathematics as it represents one of the most commonly used (real world) applications.
I have my BS degree is in Electrical Engineering. This undergraduate work require classes in logic design. I also took a couple of graduate level classes in logic and switching theory from the University of Minnesota. More importantly, I worked as a digital logic designer for over ten years.
As such I am extremely knowledgeable in Boolean algebra, Karnaugh maps and state machines, and assembly level programming. These skill were required in early 70's as the use of higher level languages had not yet been developed. I have thirty years of experience working in the computer equipment industry prior to becoming a teacher.
I have taught physics at the high school level. In college, I haven taken two semester of calculus based physics, two semester of Thermodynamics, a semester of Statics and a semester of Dynamics.
Per the States guidelines, I am considered to be highly qualified to teach both math and science at the high school level. Having this math background is beneficial when assisting students with this very math based science.
I currently hold a Colorado certification in secondary education to teach mathematics. Additionally, I am currently employed as an adjunct professor of mathematics at Front Range Community College.
I am currently teaching this level of mathematics. I listen and watch for students misunderstandings and work to provide easy and understandable approaches to solve mathematical problems.
I currently hold a Colorado certification in seconndary education to teach mathematics. Additionally, I am currently employed as an adjunct professor of mathematics at Front Range Community College.
Precalculus is a combination of Algebra 2 and trigonometry. I have taught both of these content areas at the high school and college level.
As a high school teacher I worked with students to improve their SAT scores. As this test penalizes a person for guessing and is timed,test taking strategies becomes an imperative.
I have taught trigonometry at both the high school and college level. This can be a tough topic to learn if for no other reason than the sheer quantity of identities that are involved. However there are a few strategies that can help a student be successful in this endeavor.
Mike K. passed a background check on 8/29/13. The check was ordered by another user through First Advantage. For more information, please review the background check information page.
After sending a message to Mike, you will be able to order a new background check for $7.99. As part of your tutor selection process, we encourage you to run updated background checks. Please also review the safety tips for hiring tutors.

Who...Me?!?!?! Alright...Some words to help sum me up: Passionate, Driven, Ambitious, Motivated, Loud, Fun-Loving, Focused & Competitive.
I'm an accomplished and educated young professional who's always scheming on how to shake up the world. I value my family, friends, profession, fitness, good music, culture, traveling & finding ways to bring value to people. Professionally, I get to fulfill my dream and serve, every day. Although I take my work very seriously, having fun is also serious business. To quote the great and legendary professor Old Blue Eyes, Frank Sinatra, "Fresh air makes me throw up. I can't handle it. I'd rather be around three Denobili cigars blowing in my face all night." Whenever possible, I stay out until until the sun comes up...But I can appreciate a small coffee shop with a book or Netflix marathons under a Snuggie. I live with intense purpose, play my music loud, sing even if I don't know the words and often laugh til my belly hurts. I do everything to fully enjoy the moments I have on God's Green Earth. I'm 29 years of age. Intellectually, I'm a humble learner and dare to think outside the box. I want to know everything like Bradley Cooper in Limitless. Physically, I feel like I'm 21 and stay in shape by committing to the gym 4-5 times per week and playing team sports. I carry myself with class, in that classic timeless manner captured in old school pictures that makes you wish you could put yourself in another era. When you find common ground, it doesn't matter if it's a child or a grandma...you can connect with people. I'm Not a Dreamer-I make things happen. Tolstoy once said that "hopes are the dreams of a waking man" and I've never felt as alive as I do right now.
I'm open to new things and would love to put Forrest Gump & the Dos Equis guy to shame when they read my memoirs.
Not exactly knowing what the future holds excites me. I tend to click with people that have that same infectious and enthusiastic love of life, drive, ambition and spontaneous nature to make things unforgettable. Tell me about something that makes your eyes light up and you'll captivate me. I love feeling inspired by hearing about people's "So there I was," moments that help define them.
All in all, I've lived quite a life for 29 years on this planet & there's so much about myself that I can't adequately explain in this rant. Here's the bottom line: I'm a real person, I know who I am, what I'm about, and what I want out life.
I have a huge passion for sports and love all things New York (Yankees/Knicks/Giants). I'll admit, I do take in the Dungeons and Dragons for Jocks (Fantasy Sports), regularly attend sports games, play in multiple men's leagues & love competition. I'm a former college basketball walk on and at 5'9", I'll take on any challenge in a game of H-O-R-S-E. I'm the FURTHEST thing from Skee-Lo (I wish I was a little bit taller), so taller women feel free to wear your heels but do NOT give the "Awwww c'mere"/Bend-Over/Little Brother Hug to me, ever. Hahaha. Athletic women who take care of themselves get major bonus points. If you can talk Sportscenter, I may clone you.
In a partner, I'm looking for a strong, confident, intelligent, nurturing & caring woman who understands how to find the positive side of things. I am someone who will challenge you & keep you on your toes, but also accept you as who you are. My goal is to help you feel like your favorite, best version of yourself.
I'm blessed to be surrounded by many amazing people, but I don't take 'em for granted. I'm committed to living each moment with passion and leaving a Sasquatch-Sized Footprint on this world. Jay-Z said it right..."One Life to live, notice you get no sequel...so I truly need to live this like my last movie." So get your pens ready and join a part of the adventure, because this Independent Film of My Life is guaranteed to be a One-of-a-Kind, Award-Winning Classic.
Cheers. ;)

Improving by leaps and bounds
Tim Prister
ORLANDO, Fla. - When Cierre Wood was a freshman in 2009, Charlie Weis and his staff decided it would be best to give Theo Riddick the opportunity to play at running back behind Armando Allen.
The Notre Dame football player who wears No. 20 in 2011 is a vastly superior player to the one who arrived on campus two years ago from Oxnard, Calif., and a significantly better running back than the one who made his debut in '10.
"I'm a completely different back," acknowledged Wood Monday outside the Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium as the Irish continued preparations for Florida State in Thursday's Champs Sports Bowl.
"I see everything better and the game is a lot slower for me. Everything is coming real easy for me. There are still things I want to work on obviously, but for the most part, I've made a great jump from last year to this year."
In fact, a greater jump than most running backs normally make. When Wood arrived from Santa Clara High School, he was very much an unfinished product. That alone displays how talented of an athlete Wood is when you consider he rushed for 4,244 yards and 54 touchdowns during his final two years on the prep level.
Irish running backs coach Tim Hinton inherited a raw talent during the spring of 2010. Hinton talked about the need for Wood to consistently pound it up between the tackles, and then to show the vision on the second level that would allow six-yard runs to become 16-yard runs. None of that seemed to come naturally to Wood.
Then Allen suffered a season-ending injury that finally put him on the shelf for good with five games remaining in 2010. Wood rushed for 387 yards on 76 carries (5.09-yard average) over those final five games. Including his start earlier in the season against Western Michigan when Allen was banged up, Wood rushed for 481 yards on 87 carries (5.5-yard average) in his six starts.
But Wood still was just scratching the surface. Although his yards per carry remains about the same (5.2) this season, he is a substantially better, more consistent, more instinctive runner with 1,042 yards rushing on 199 carries heading into the Champs Sports Bowl.
Wood's greatest lesson this year came in the USC game when he was held to five yards on five carries, due in part to his emotional state of mind playing against the Trojans.
"Not everything is always going to appear right away," said Allen when asked to assess how he benefited from his sub-par performance against the Trojans.
"I'm always quick to want to make a play, so sometimes I get ahead of myself. I try to take more than they give me, and it ends up being a negative. I just want to be as patient as possible."
Wood will be without his tag-team partner - Jonas Gray - when the Irish lace them up Thursday night against Florida State. But he's back running with an old stable mate - Theo Riddick - at least for the bowl game.
"It's fun back there�never a dull moment," said Wood, who formed a bond with Riddick when they arrived together in 2009. "My roommate�we're just having fun out there.
"It's second nature to him. He still has some things that he's lacking because he was at receiver. But he picked it up real fast. It's like he's a regular running back now."
Meanwhile, Wood continues to hone his craft. If he makes the progress over the next year or two that he's made in the last two, he'll be the big-time back that he has always envisioned himself being.
"You always have to study your opponent," said Wood, a statement he likely wouldn't have made just two years ago. "You can't go into a game blind. You have to know what your opponent does and what their strengths and weaknesses are in order to be successful."
Wise words from one of the most improved players in the program.

A classic staple in the DVS street line, the Men's Milan CT Mid Skate Shoe wraps your ankle in a touch of padded paradise and gives your toes the toothy traction of a vulcanized sole. For those who have a tendency to come down hard on their heels, Bruise Control Technology throws a little extra cushioning in the heel-cup area so you can walk home without a limp. Step into a pair of the Milans and floss with the classy looks of a throwback casual shoe and the dedicated performance of a kick designed to slay the street.
Share your thoughts
Perfect Fit
The DVS Milan CT Mid has a perfect fit all around. I absolutely back this shoe not only as a legit DVS skate shoe but it also has style oooozing from every seam. Like it's sister shoe, the Milan CT 2, the mid has a one piece toe to help the upper of the shoe last longer if you use them to skate. The Mid also offers ankle coverage.
The comfort is of the highest standard. DVS never skimps when it comes to your feet.

After a long day at work, Andre McClain enjoys making barbecue for dinner and settling in with his wife.
"We sit together and eat and talk about our day," said the 36-year-old Kansas City native. "But it's after the shows at 10 o'clock at night, so it's a late dinner."
Granted, the shows he's referring to are the world-famous Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus productions, where Andre is a ringmaster. It's also where he met his wife, a 24-year-old Brazilian dancer named Daniele.
"I wasn't thinking that I would ever meet somebody and fall in love in the circus," Daniele said earlier this week via phone. "Especially the way we got married. I was so surprised and emotional."
It's understandable. Andre had conspired with Daniele's friends and fellow Ringling Bros. cast members to lure her into the Denver Coliseum while the show was in town last year. It was an off-day, but the arena was packed with circus lights and props. She thought she was going to be the maid of honor in someone else's wedding.
"It was a surprise, but I was pretty sure she'd be OK with it since we had been engaged for three years," McClain said.
It's fitting that Ringling Bros.' latest production "Built to Amaze" is returning to the Denver Coliseum this week — and not just because the couple's first wedding anniversary was Oct. 2.
The show, which invokes imagery and metaphors of tools and construction (think stilt-walkers dressed like giant orange cones in addition to the usual eye-popping acrobatics, clowns and animal acts) plays the Coliseum through Oct. 6 before jumping to the Pepsi Center for an Oct. 9-13 run.
It's a homecoming for Andre, who grew up in the Mile High City as a rodeo cowboy and whose father, veteran producer Lu Vason, founded the Denver-based Bill Picket Invitational, the country's first all-black rodeo that will celebrate its 30th anniversary next year.
"This visit's more special than ever because the first place I saw Ringling Bros. was in Denver," said Andre, an 11-year veteran of the circus company. "Coming back this year as ringmaster is really overwhelming."
As ringmaster, Andre is the glue of the show and responsible for introducing sixth- and seventh-generation circus performers who hail from 17 different countries. He's the first "singing equestrian ringmaster" in more than 100 years of Ringling Bros., and that's no small feat given that the company's older than the state of Arizona, or that there have been more U.S. presidents than ringmasters.
"This weekend my dad is also putting on the Denver Jezz Fest at the National Western Complex on Saturday, so I'll be running back and forth to see him between shows," Andre said.
Despite all the built-in showmanship, superimposing the trappings of normalcy on Andre and Daniele's constantly-moving lifestyle provides an element of stability.
Their home is a train car, albeit one with a kitchen, living room, full bathroom and bedroom. As a result, they've gotten used to spending nearly every moment together.
But that's a good thing, Daniele said, because it allowed to them to get to know each other very quickly.
"There's nothing you can hide because you're basically together 24 hours a day," Daniele said. "And not just the married couples on the show, but everybody you work with."
Fortunately, their train car is bigger than most.
"Of course it is," Andre said. "I'm the ringmaster!"

conclusion:We like it
Logitech's UE Boombox is a stylish, powerful Bluetooth speaker that delivers solid, bass-heavy sound with minimal distortion even at high volume levels, and has good battery life. However, at over 4 pounds, it's not quite as portable as other similar speakers. At $250, it's also more expensive than many other portable Bluetooth speakers, though the Jawbone Big Jambox sells for about the same price.

They can do your taxes for you.
Cats are exceptionally good accountants. The cost of having a cat in your home will be more than offset by the tax benefits that a cat will save for you.
They are good with computers.
Cats are especially proficient when it comes to C(at) programming and Autocad.
They can guard your house for you.
While dogs can only guard your house as far as your fence, a cat can cover the whole neighbourhood.
Cats can drive you to work and fetch your kids from school.
Gone are the days of having to rush to fetch your kids. Just send the cat. You'll still need to let them get a license first though.
Cats are good photographers.
While it is true that cats do have poor depth perception, Beethoven didn't let becoming deaf get in the way of composing either. You'll be amazed by the photographs that your cat can take if you let them have a camera.
Cats can help with the chores at home.
Here, we see a cat ironing his 1000th suit for the day.
While cats may not help to bring home the bacon, they do help to bring home the fish.
They are always up to date on the latest trends.
Here, we see a cat practising for his next breakdancing competition. You'll no longer have to endure being clueless while the neighbours talk about the latest big thing to hit town. With a cat around, you'll always be the first to know.
They are the most suitable candidates for Santa when Christmas is round the corner.
They have no problems climbing roofs, they see perfectly well in the dark, and they don't make a single sound when they walk. Best of all, they already come equipped with whiskers. Gone are the days of having to sneak around in the dark on Christmas night trying not to snub your toes just to fill that stocking (or stockings).
And last but not least, you can always depend on your cat to help save the day.
It is a well kept secret, but all superheroes are actually sidekicks for a cat. Cats have been responsible for averting quite a number of the world's disasters. The fact that you have never heard of this before just goes to show how efficient cats are. They work to prevent disasters before the general population can even hear about it and panic.

Heck, the site you're hotlinking to with [not] your images is probably the 8992nd site.
Really, if you're just going to post images older than Edna Parker, you should expect comments like this from random visitors whom you anger with your repetitive theft.

Aw, what's with all those haters! I don't see any reason why someone has to post such harsh comments… please don't mind them.
Anyways I enjoyed reading this – nothing wrong with another article to make me smile!
Haha, I guess my cat does help me do my homework..by sleeping on it
On September 14, 2008 at 12:13 pm
Me neither! It made me smile, what's wrong with that? I have seen some of the pics before (hell, I've used some of them myself!) but this is a nicely written piece. In fact, I'm gonna blog it! lol! ))
On September 15, 2008 at 5:41 am
they are probably sad about something completely unrelated to cats.
Nicely done! I sent it to my girlfriend, her head will probably explode from the cuteness of the last photo.
On September 22, 2008 at 5:32 am
Some humans prove why cats have higher rankings in the cute league!
I have never seen some of these pics and even if I had they still made my day, thanks for the effort you put into making me smile.
On October 7, 2008 at 12:39 pm
We have two cats who sincerely believe that they own us! Loved your article…especially "I've done the Math…." I'm still laughing!
On October 7, 2008 at 12:43 pm
Sorry…it's "I did the math…" Couldn't think straight…still laughing!
On October 20, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Aww! What a cute article!
On October 27, 2008 at 10:38 am
I have 6 Turkish Angoras, they would agree with not affording a Dog.
Even though one of them fetches like one.
Thank You For The Article, made me smile.
On November 1, 2008 at 10:13 pm
Well…I haven't ever seen this before…and I rather enjoyed it. It made me smile and even chuckle a bit. Guess you gotta love and understand cats!!! Anonymous…it appears that you're outnumbered…hey, get a grip and learn to smile a little. It'll do you good.
On November 7, 2008 at 5:29 pm
Some people spend WAY too much time on StumbleUpon if they have seen this so many times another posting would annoy them. Get a life and you may not see the same thing over and over again anymore. I thought it was cute and had never seen it before, and I did stumble here.
On November 8, 2008 at 12:33 pm
This was cute, and I haven't seen them before!
On November 9, 2008 at 9:35 am
Very funny! And so true. I'll be linking to this one at cattery-index.com
On November 9, 2008 at 11:37 am
i have 4 cats they are so loverrrt
On January 19, 2009 at 7:58 am
I am a cat and I work as a tax accountant. Some of my best friends are superheroes. My hobby is photography and I can breakdance like the best of them. Obviously written by a most enlightened human.
On March 17, 2009 at 3:21 pm
Ignore the haters. Some people have no sense of humor. I loved this
On May 31, 2009 at 7:24 pm
Cats actually have excellent depth perception. They're a little nearsighted, though.
On August 23, 2010 at 7:39 am
Perhaps I should have a cat..!! They could be very helpful in some things I am too lazy to do..

Nice find/borrow. My experience with a Korona was that there was little that you couldn't fix with a screwdriver. You may find that just tightening up the various screws will help with the standards wiggling. You also may find that some of those screws won't tighten because the holes have become stripped over time. My current antique, a Rochester Optical Company camera from about 1895, shaped up nicely once I replaced the old, loose screws with one size larger. (I tried the matchstick/toothpick in the screw hole trick, but the holes were too shallow.) Most big hardware stores stock a limited number of brass screws in common sizes that are the "even" sizes, 6, 8, 10. If you can find a good little old-fashioned hardware stores, they'll carry the odd sizes in between. Have fun!

Not Your Model Minority: Asian Americans and the Immigration Fight
By Guest Contributor S. Nadia Hussain, cross-posted from Hyphen Magazine
On October 8, Gregory Cendana, the Executive Director of the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance (APALA) was arrested, along with two hundred other activists and eight members of Congress in our nation's capitol. In photos from that day, he is seen being led away in handcuffs with a pride flag tied around his neck like superhero cape and a handwritten t-shirt — with the words "Not your Model Minority" scrawled on the front. Cendana is Asian American and his actions that day stood as a testament to the diverse communities that are impacted by the lack of immigration reform.
Immigration is often framed as an issue impacting mostly Latino populations. According to the Pew Hispanic Center — though the modern immigration wave from Latin America has made up 50% of US immigration, migration from Asia makes up a substantial 27%. Outside of Mexico, the leading countries of origin of immigrants are India, the Philippines and China. Asians make up 13% of the US undocumented population. The US Office of Homeland security estimates that as of 2009, the largest undocumented Asian populations are 270,000 immigrants from the Philippines, 200,000 from India, 200,000 from Korea and 120,000 from China.
Voices Revisited: 9/11 And Communities Of Color
Twelve years after the September 11th attacks, we wanted to take this chance to revisit stories told from the perspective of Muslim communities and other communities of color dealing with the event. First, this episode of the Ask A Muslim webseries posted last year, in which Imam Murad Abdul-Zahir breaks down the backlash against Muslims following the attacks: "Anyone even resembling a Muslim were attacked and came under a lot of scrutiny."
And two years ago, Latoya introduced us to the Unheard Voices of 9/11, a collection of short testimonials that included this one from Gigi El Sayed.
"They called you racist. They called you terrorist," she explains. "I was still a child. I barely understood the words and I would ask my parents … My mom almost had her scarf pulled off in an elevator."
There's also this story by Amenah, a Staten Island resident, about her experience after telling classmates she was making her pilgrimage to Mecca:
"I remember distinctly that the boy who was behind me had remarks for me not to bring a bomb back," Amenah says. "I remember that the whole class had heard his remark, and that nobody had said anything."
But to end on a positive note, let's also revisit this video by South Asian Americans Leading Together (SAALT) — particularly the young student featured around the :52 mark: "It's time we raise our voices and return to our ideals — of an America that is open to diversity, accepts varied viewpoints, protects the rights of all and is tolerant of differences."

Monumental Loss
The unbearable lightness of the Pentagon memorial.
May 29, 2006, Vol. 11, No. 35 • By CATESBY LEIGH
HARRIED DESIGNERS, and the number crunchers breathing down their necks, are hacking away at plans for the World Trade Center Memorial, struggling to fit this bloated, billion-dollar, largely subterranean leviathan into the $500 million budgetary straitjacket prescribed by Governor George Pataki and New York's mayor, Michael Bloomberg.
But apart from the staggering expense, the six-acre antimonument's conceptually and spatially sprawling design basically follows the familiar postmodern recipe, enshrining "loss" through a combination of therapeutic landscape elements with documentary displays ranging from architectural remnants to videotape. It is most unlikely this will be an inspiring venue, but at least it might benefit from mandatory simplification.
The real surprise is that an altogether more bizarre September 11 memorial is in store for us, and where you might least expect it: at the Pentagon. Here, two thirtysomething architects, Julie Beckman and Keith Kaseman, envision a two-acre park dotted with scores of paperbark maples and 184 "memorial units"--benches 13-and-a-half feet long, each cantilevered like a diving board over its own little pool of water--in memory of the victims of American Airlines Flight 77's immolation.
Fundraising for this $22 million memorial has proceeded at a far from stellar pace over the last three years, with just over $10 million raised to date. But the official groundbreaking will take place next month, with completion anticipated in September 2008.
The Pentagon Memorial will be situated 50 yards or so from the now-reconstructed façade that the jetliner demolished. (The site previously served as a helicopter landing pad.) Each memorial unit's location within the park is coordinated in relation to two axes, one corresponding to the year of a particular victim's birth, the other to the day of birth. The cantilevered benches face towards the Pentagon or away from it, depending on whether the victim was on Flight 77 or in the building. At night, the Memorial Fund's website helpfully explains, the illuminated pools will "indicate an abstract demographic cross-section of the victims, showing the random nature of the September 11, 2001 attack on the Pentagon."
Do such trivia have anything to do with a proper memorial?
It gets worse. The park will be covered with stabilized gravel, with each precast, stainless-steel bench-cum-pool set within a pair of stainless-steel timeline-strips crossing the site on the birth-year axis, and parallel to Flight 77's fateful path. The smoothed gravel finish on each memorial unit will maintain a visual continuity with the ground. Epoxy polymer concrete will bind the gravel to the stainless steel--with the concrete (the architects have written) "seemingly 'freezing' the gravel in place and floating it above the light pool."
Frozen gravel? Can they be serious? Absolutely. Their memorial park will boast a gravel carpet that appears to peel up and morph into the multitude of diving boards. It all sounds like a House and Garden editor's hallucination.
The long perimeter benches and the "age wall" enclosing the park will be clad in stone of the same gray and light-brown hues as the gravel. The "age wall" will extend along the western border of the memorial in an irregular arc, facing Route 27, the arterial highway running between the Pentagon and Arlington Memorial Cemetery. The wall will grow by one inch for each year of the victims' ages, or from three to 71 inches. Inside this wall there will be a bench with birth years inlaid between pairs of steel timeline-strips; likewise the perimeter bench across the park.
Apart from the curious sculptural gesture of the memorial units, the memorial design boils down to factoids: The victims' dates of birth, and where they were at the time of the crash, plus the flight path. This conforms to the documentary, "value-neutral" tenets of postmodern memorial design. The memorial units--dubbed "light benches" before assuming their bureaucratic appellation--are variations on the 168 chairs at the Oklahoma City Memorial, where the chairs are arranged in rows corresponding to the number of victims on each floor of the Murrah Federal Building.
Should memorials amount to furniture, even if it resembles diving boards? That's just one of the questions the Pentagon Memorial project raises. Another is how on earth this design got selected in the first place.

A safe pair of hands— Global
The concierge is an institution worth investing in. They know what is going on in your neighbourhood, can prevent crime and stop you having to wait at home for deliveries. They are a city essential. Monocle meets three of the best.
Although we would love to live in communities where doors are perennially on the latch, security is a serious priority in modern cities. But for all the talk of locks, cameras and alarms, there is nothing like the intuition and human presence of the concierge to create a secure and sociable neighbourhood.
They are security guards and community linchpins in one: vetting visitors and helping residents with everything from heavy shopping to screaming babies. From the uniformed, white-gloved doormen of New York to a group of men who keep one of Chile's…

About Me
I love doing things - I'd rather play music than listen to it, participate in a sport than watch it, perform in a musical than see it, or host a function than attend it.
I've been described in various contradictory ways including (I'm going to be honest even though I find some of these descriptions inaccurate/unflattering) "active and outgoing", "quiet and shy", "fun loving and adventurous", "serious and conservative", "easygoing", "OCD", "glamorous", "geeky", "party animal", "uber nerd", "rebel", "goody-goody", "stereotypical asian/medical student", "one of a kind". Who knows what you'll see in me :)
I've only uploaded a very small selection of photos here because I join a lot of sites and I don't like doubling up. For more, see http://www.facebook.com/jasminejzhu/ or http://instagram.com/jasminejzhu/
UPDATE: It took me 26 years to realise that I'm an outgoing introvert: http://thoughtcatalog.com/brianna-wiest/2014/07/18-struggles-of-having-an-outgoing-personality-but-actually-being-shy-and-introverted/
Food, Social Media, Technology, Photography, Interior Design, Music, Movies, Anime, Cosmetics, Fragrances, Foreign Languages, Travel
Music, Movies, and Books
I am going to take the title of this heading as "Please elaborate on your interests, which may include Music, Movies and Books".
I enjoy most music in a social setting, but generally only listen to classical music when I'm alone. I enjoy a wide variety of classical music ranging from baroque to 20th century, and from solo instrumental to orchestral works, but tend to be biased towards the piano due to my own musical roots. Although I used to play and compose a lot, I'm usually quite out of practice, so please don't be offended if I don't perform for you.
I'm a big fan of films by Disney, Pixar and DreamWorks, and I'm obsessed with anime in general, but I usually only watch movies or TV while in transit.
I read a lot of sci fi/fantasy when I was younger, but I haven't touched a novel in years. I blame it on technology.
I love trying new foods, and get excited when hosts introduce me to something I haven't had before. I love to eat everything, but in particular, my favourite foods include:
- Raw seafood (think fresh oysters with a dash of lemon juice, or sashimi all by itself)
- Seafood in general
- Avocadoes and tropical fruits (I go crazy over mangoes and berries)
- Vegetables in general (but especially mushrooms, cooked cucumber, baby corn and bamboo shoots)
- Vietnamese Pho
- Japanese udon soup
- Mexican food
- Asian desserts (red bean/green tea/sesame/taro flavoured icecream, glutinous rice balls, sago, grass jelly, bubble tea, ice kacang)
- Anything sweet or with interesting flavours/textures
I follow an extremely healthy and environmentally responsible diet at home, but when there's travelling, celebrating or free food involved, all bets are off!
I enjoy testing and collecting fragrances, but hardly wear any because of my work. http://www.fragrantica.com/member/49354/
As a student, I loved getting involved in non-profit organisations. One of my favourite experiences was working with a group of my best friends (http://vic2012.com/) on the national executive of the Australian Medical Students' Association (http://amsa.org.au), something I still think back to very fondly!
I like to see and do a lot when travelling, and can easily be out and about for 16 hours a day. I enjoy everything from hiking, to hanging out at museums and art galleries, to eating and shopping. I prefer to be actively doing something rather than sitting around at a bar/coffee shop/friend's house/on the beach. I don't mind spending the occasional night staying up late to go clubbing or experience something really unique to a particular city, but otherwise I'd prefer to go to bed early enough to be out and about at the crack of dawn the next morning.
I'm an independent traveler and I'm very content exploring on my own, but I do enjoy sharing a meal with my host at the end of the day. I don't cook when traveling, as I'd rather spend my time and stomach space on a new experience. So I'd much rather take out a host to thank them.
I only send couchrequests to people that I'd want to be friends with anyway, even if they weren't hosting me. Otherwise, I'd rather save my time by staying at a hostel. So if you receive a request from me, it means I'm genuinely interested in you.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach: I'm full of life/productivity/technology hacks, just ask.
Learn: Despite being talented at many things, I am incredibly hopeless at driving, and even worse at reverse parallel parking. If you can teach me how to perform either activity to the standard of an ordinary person, my family and friends will be forever grateful. In the meantime, I recommend that you don't lend me your car keys.
Share: 1) My movie and TV collection. 2) My makeup, fragrance and skin care collection. I have too much of all of those things, so if you're into that kind of stuff too, you'll probably end up with a lot of extra souvenirs. 3) Music. I love playing on other people's instruments, or with other people. My main instrument is the piano, but I've played most orchestral instruments at least once. BYO sheet music or we can google it.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share stimulating and/or entertaining conversation and my perspective on a variety of topics. Unfortunately, I won't be cooking you a "traditional meal" from my country (I wouldn't know where to source the kangaroo meat), but I enjoy taking out my hosts for a meal. I do clean and help around the house to the standard of a normal person, and I love playing with young children and pets. I like things that are visually pleasing, and would be happy to give you my (honest) opinion about anything ranging from an outfit to a potential piece of new furniture in your home. I enjoy playing all kinds of musical instruments, especially ones I haven't tried before, and especially with other people.

The City of Lambertville
Lambertville is located on the Delaware River in the southwestern portion of the county. During the 1700's, the City was named after various operators of ferries across the river to Pennsylvania, ultimately becoming known as Coryell's Ferry, after Emanuel Coryell who owned the Ferry. Coryell's Ferry was the western terminus of the New Jersey portion of the York Road (which is now known as Route 202) connecting New York and Philadelphia. The City was named Lambertville in 1814 when the post office was established and honored the Honorable John Lambert, a local resident and United States Senator.
The Delaware River and the Delaware/Raritan Canal were instrumental in the posterity of Lambertville. In June 1834, the opening of the canal was celebrated with a barge ride from Trenton to Lambertville. The canal's completion was not without hardship. 4000 Irish immigrants were hired to dig the canal with pick and shovel. During the construction an epidemic of Cholera broke out and dozens of men were buried along the banks of the canal and the Delaware River.
After nearly 40 years as a defeating operation, the canal was taken over by the State. In 1974 the canal became a State Park administered by the Delaware/Raritan Canal Commission.
Lambertville was the home of James Marshall who found gold at Sutters Mill, California, and has been credited as starting the Gold Rush. The Marshall Home is maintained by the Lambertville Historical Society and is open for tours on Sundays in May through October. The Marshall House is located at 62 Bridge Street. (See map for further directions and additional City landmarks). Other tours available include the Annual House Tour (held on the 3rd Sunday in October) and the Garden Tour (held on June 1st), both showcasing the victorian elegance of the City. Contact the Historical Society for additional information at 609-397-0770.
Lambertville is known for its many galleries, antique shops and restaurants. This contributes to a sense that Lambertville continues to be a small American City. Perhaps the most notable fact in Lambertville that the new growth has not replaced the old community charm. Here, where industry thrived before much of the nation had broken ground, we can find country atmosphere mixed with city convenience and sophistication.
The City was named one of the Prettiest Towns in America by Forbes Magazine in the Fall of 2013
The 225 anniversary of the Battle of Monmouth occurred in 2003. In 1778 General George Washington crossed the Delaware from Pennsylvania into Lambertville with 10,000 men. The soldiers stopped at the "Ferry House" (now a Japanese Restaurant) to drink from the well there. Washington and his officials were entertained by the Holcombe family at the home now owned by the Clossen Family - Homestead Market.

Juniors and seniors have accounted for just 55.8 percent of CU's starts this season, the lowest figure in at least 25 years, according to the CU's sports information department, which began detailed accounting of such numbers in 1984. (The next lowest figure was 58.3 percent in 2003).
If it seems strange, Dan Hawkins counting on so many freshmen — they've accounted for 26 starts, half as many as the seniors — and sophomores in his fourth season on the job, it shouldn't. They ought to have a bumper sticker in Division I football that reads "Attrition Happens."
CU tight end Riar Geer, a fifth-year senior, knows all about attrition. He has seen many would-be upperclassmen come and go. It all started in December 2005 in the days after Gary Barnett was fired.
"I remember starting winter conditioning," Geer said. "Hardly anybody was there, and everybody was talking about leaving. Everybody was bad-mouthing the coaching staff. It was a tough deal, for sure. Team unity was bad."
They didn't just talk the talk. Several walked the walk, leaving CU and their college football careers behind them. Of the 23 players in Barnett's final recruiting class of 2005, seven left the program and two more, including former Mullen High tailback Maurice Greer, didn't qualify academically.
Two players, defensive tackle George Hypolite and defensive end Maurice Lucas, didn't redshirt as freshmen and went on to be big contributors before leaving after four years. A handful of others, most notably Geer, Ben Burney, Marcus Burton, Jake Behrens and Patrick Devenny, will be on the field today.
"We've been through a lot," said Geer, when asked about the last remnants of Barnett's recruiting efforts. "The whole experience has been maturing. From our perspective, it's a little disappointing we've had so many guys leave. But with coaching changes, that's to be expected."
Said Burton: "You think about the amount of guys I came in with compared to the amount still here, it just shows there are a lot of challenges that go with playing football. When those challenges come, you've got to pick and choose. Either you stay or you go on with your life."
Player attrition has left CU painfully inexperienced at several key positions, including the offensive and defensive lines and wide receiver. How inexperienced? Consider this: The Buffs went into the season with one wideout, Scotty McKnight, who had caught a pass in a CU uniform. Or this: 2009 marks the first season since 1982 in which the Buffs haven't started a senior on the offensive line.
Barnett's 2005 recruiting class included five offensive linemen. One, junior-college transfer Bryce MacMartin, was on the roster for two years before his eligibility expired. The other four have come and gone, including Paul Backowski and Devin Head, each of whom could have played significant roles, according to Geer.
Hawkins, meanwhile, signed five offensive linemen in his first class in 2006. Of the five, one remains: Eric Lawson, who has been moved to defensive tackle.
Such are the casualties of recruiting, said Hawkins, particularly when you have only a few weeks to try to retain some recruits from the previous regime while attracting a class of your own.
"There's no doubt, that hurts you," Hawkins said. "You're starting from ground zero on one end and trying to catch up on the other end. . . . That's never an easy process. You have to jump on board in January and try to rally in a month what usually takes a year to cultivate."
CU will bid farewell to 18 seniors today, 11 of whom were his recruits. If that figures sounds low, it isn't. A reality of life in Division I is that players scatter when a new coaching staff arrives.
That's one reason CU athletic director Mike Bohn decided to retain Hawkins on Thursday. He wants to give his coach every chance to see his young players develop under the coach who recruited them.
CU has 12 players remaining in the program from the 21 recruits in Hawkins' first class. A year later, in 2007, Hawkins brought in 27 recruits, 16 remain. That's 28 out of 48 in a two-year span. A high attrition rate? Not particularly. To put those numbers in perspective, Nebraska, according to Rivals.com, totaled 49 recruits in that two-year span, 27 of whom remain in the program.
Hawkins believes his team's inexperience and lack of depth have caught up to them.
"You'd love for the balance of your roster to be those fourth- and fifth-year seniors and juniors," he said. "I was talking to the guys about Oklahoma State and their running game, and they've got four seniors out of their five offensive linemen. And nine of their defensive guys are seniors. Those things help you. At one point, we had our defense out there (against OSU) and 10 of our 11 guys were freshmen or sophomores."

2016 Subaru Outback
The 2016 Subaru Outback is the perfect car for taking the family...
The Honda Accord is smooth, easy to operate and enjoyable to drive. All get excellent fuel economy, some better than others yet performance is responsive. We found all powertrain combinations enjoyable, so choosing among them is a matter of preference and priorities. The cabin is comfortable and the trunk is capacious. Options for entertainment and telematics, trim and interior mean there is an Accord for everyone. The coupe is nice, but the sedan is what makes the Accord great.

Mike McLeod has a feeling that he will see a much better Tallahassee Community College baseball team today than the one that escaped with a 9-6 victory over Pensacola Junior College on Tuesday night at Eagles Field.
TCC had to overcome two errors and an assortment of other mistakes to get the win, improving to 30-6 overall and 2-1 in the Panhandle Conference. They travel today to Marianna, where they will face Chipola College in a matchup of the state's No. 1 and 2 teams.
"Our guys will come out ready to play," McLeod said. "I just don't want them to be too hyped up. We've got to settle down, relax and ...

YMMV: The Dam Busters
- Crowning Moment of Awesome: Today probably the most awkward one on film. "It's Nigger! They've done it!"
- Crowning Moment of Funny: The squadron needs to let off steam ahead of the raid. "Right, boys: off with their pants!"
- The book has an even better one. On the train to London to be decorated following the operation, one of the squadron gets very drunk. The end result: "I losht my pantsh. Very awkward. Can't shee the King without my pantsh." There seems to be a theme going here...
- Crowning Music of Awesome: The main theme is unforgettable.
- Ear Worm: The Dambusters March, synonymous with the film and the raid in general, despite being written over ten years later. Popular at football marches and fly pasts, it has even become the tune for a hymn.
- Harsher in Hindsight: The scene leading up to the dog's death is wince-inducing, because of its name.
- Magnificent Bastard: Gibson in real life - he could be a real bitch to work under, but popular with higher command.
- Tear Jerker: The ending.
- Barnes Wallis: All those boys! All those boys!
- And later supremely understated by Guy Gibson:
Gibson: I've got to go and write some letters.
- A Real Life version: as of 2015, all of the members of the squadron have now passed on.

A flight nurse helps transport sick or injured patients from place to place. There are a variety of certifications that are necessary to be an air nurse.
