As you step up your climbing ability, you become less reliant upon projecting cords and more dependent on light-but-tough ropes for redpoint and flash attempts. The Beal Diablo Unicore 9.8mm Single Rope offers smooth running and quick clipping, but requires the attention of a vigilant belayer since its aggressive design may not brake as easily as gym ropes in an ATC. A force rating of just 8.2 kN means that during the rare lead fall, the Diablo absorbs shock with ease.

very poor experience
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
After climbing on beal ropes for a while, I picked this one up. must have been a bad batch or something. one month in (between 10-12 days on) I noticed fraying. This was the fastest ive ever seen a rope fray. Could not see the core, but unsettling. In the past, Sterling has corrected premature fraying by replacing the rope for free. Beal did nothing. 6 months later, it turned into my TR rope for when I take others out and set up easy top ropes, and now 1 year later, it is retired. compared to my other ropes, that is extremely fast. Maybe Im just unlucky, but im not going with beal anymore.
I love this rope
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
As another review already said, it is fast on belay, but nothing that anyone paying attention could not handle. I have no complaints at all.
Great rope!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The rope was nice and supple right out of the box, not like others I've tested. It's a bit fast on the belay device, as some reviewers have mentioned, but that hasn't been that big of an issue with me. Likewise with the dirt thing, although I've always used the plastic carpet that comes with it. No complaints her after six months or so of frequent use. All-around great rope.

I have a Dahon Curve D3, and after replacing a rear tire, 3rd gear isn't holding. Do I lengthen or shorten the cable adjustment?
Many thanks!
I have a Dahon Curve D3, and after replacing a rear tire, 3rd gear isn't holding. Do I lengthen or shorten the cable adjustment?
Many thanks!
I feel your pain. It took me quite a few tries to get the hang of adjusting the cable tension. I read and re-read Sheldon Brown's instructions:
And I also used the Sturmey Archer service manual:
Note: As far as I know there is no longer a neutral between 2nd and 3rd on this hub. I tried for a long time to get it there until someone told me this.
The SRAM Dual-Drive (also a 3-spd) is a definitely a lot easier to adjust.
I have the same hub I think (SA SRF3) and what I do is this:
Adjust the cable so that it is just a wee bit slack when the twist grip is in third. You should just find you can wobble the cable.
Check engagement of 1st and 3rd gear. If third won't engage reliably, slacken a single turn of the adjuster. If first won't engage, tighten a touch until it does.
Check again first and third.
No low gear tighten. No third gear slacken.
Many thanks. That's just what I needed.
SA3 adjustment is outlined in the Brompton owners manual. Download and see page 14:
Well, for someone with an advanced degree and a job in science, I found even the Sturmey Archer SRF3 instructions in the link above difficult to follow. There is an illustration in the SA instructions, but prior to that I didn't know which piece exactly was the threaded adjuster and which piece was the indicator rod. What I did do based on EvilV's perfectly clear explanation above is put the bike in third gear, and slightly unscrew the knurled sleeve that is directly at the end of the black plastic or vinyl cover over the gear cable. This, as EvilV points out above, slightly slackens the cable, and then I tighted the little locknut to keep this setting in place. That fixed the problem of my third gear not staying engaged. It's perfect now. I also noticed that it was much easier to shift into first gear, so clearly the cable was too tight prior to my adjustment.

I agree the diagrams aren't ideal. From the Brompton Yahoo forum there is mention of a nice video showing the same almost identical process for a SA5:
SA 5 speed hub adjustment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_P9Z4viP_0
And also for a Sram 3: Sram gear cable chain adjustment
Oh, and thanks for that video link Bangkok. Wish I could view it here at work. I'll catch it later on the couch after I take my Pulse Kick 'n Go scooter around the block for it's nightly abuse.

This all-in-one moisturizer, which works as an eye cream, lip balm, and face lotion, earns high marks across the board. Not only does it nourish skin, the gel-cream formula protects skin from harsh environmental factors, all the while remaining nearly undetectable.
This is another sample I keep at my boyfriend's place to use in lieu of my regular Clinique daytime moisturizer. I love how light it goes on, absorbs fast, and seems to do the trick just like my regular moisturizer. I use it on my face and eye area, and it's doing a good job. I've used Stila make-up, so I should have known that this product would be great, too.5
I love this product! It was included with my birchbox and have been trying to purchase for a while now. I have never really liked using lotions for my face since it would leave my skin looking greasy by the end of the day. This product goes on light and keeps my skin moisturized throughout the day.5

Multiple Sclerosis Clinician's Guide to Diagnosis and Treatment
ISBN13:by Birnbaum, Gary L.
Oxford University Press
Questions About This Book?
What version or edition is this?
This is the 2nd edition with a publication date of 5/1/2013.
What is included with this book?
- The New copy of this book will include any supplemental materials advertised. Please check the title of the book to determine if it should include any CDs, lab manuals, study guides, etc.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory, often progressive, and potentially disabling disease of the central nervous system. Onset of disease is usually between the ages of 15 and 50, with the incidence nearly twice as high in women. While the cause of MS is still unknown, the predominant theory is that it is an autoimmune disease, triggered by an unknown environmental factor that results in both loss of central nervous system myelin and degeneration of axons and neurons. Although there have been a number of publications addressing different aspects of MS treatment in the neurological literature, there is a dearth of material on MS designed for internists and primary care physicians, who are often the first to see patients presenting with symptoms of MS. Therefore, this concise, clinically focused volume will serve as a valuable resource tailored to the specific needs of internists and primary care physicians. Part of the Oxford Neurology Library, this highly practical pocketbook covers current approaches and new developments in the diagnosis, treatment and management of MS, including both early and advanced stages of the disease. The book offers in-depth coverage of special populations, as well as the more unusual manifestations of MS, which are less familiar to the internal medicine audience. It will also address the role of imaging studies in the diagnosis, differential diagnosis and monitoring of the progression of MS. In addition to providing up-to-date information on pharmacological therapies for MS, the book also describes an array of non-pharmacological treatment options.

A sudden blow: the great wings beating still
Above the staggering girl, her thighs caressed
By the dark webs, her nape caught in his bill
He holds her helpless breast upon his breast.
How can those terrified vague fingers push
The feathered glory from her loosening thighs
And how can body, laid in that white rush,
But feel the strange heart beating where it lies?
A shudder in the loins engenders there
The broken wall, the burning roof and tower
And Agamemnon dead.
Being so caught up,
So mastered by the brute blood of the air,
Did she put on his knowledge with his power
Before the indifferent beak could let her drop?
M. A. K. Halliday attempts a linguistic description of parts of this poem.1 He is interested in the main in two of its features; its use of 'the' and the distribution of its verbal items. The latter will perhaps make the contrast between linguistic descriptions and interpretations of the text most strikingly. Halliday says; 'most of this poem, especially the first ten and a half lines, is organised in nominal groups; they account for 69 of the 83 words in this first part. There are 15 verbal groups in this poem, and in addition four words of the class 'verb' operating directly in the structure (as opposed to being rankshifted into) nominal groups ('staggering', 'loosening', 'burning', 'broken').' He then gives a table of these verbal groups, showing that if they are ranked on a scale from the most 'verbish' of all, the finite verbal group in free clause, to the most attenuated, 'subordinated altogether to the nominal element without even the formality of a rankshift', then 'Leda', compared to samples from 'His Phoenix' and Morte d'Arthur, has a 'preponderance of nominal groups' so that its 'verbal items are considerably deverbalised'. Halliday remarks that 'Of various short passages examined for comparative purposes, the only one showing a distribution at all

chapter one:
Rootdry Town
The little orange bird looked up to Colette as she sat down on her knees in front of him. ''
Um, hi! I'm Colette. I'm your new trainer!
Torchic looked at her face curiously, glanced at the professor it could see in the other room, and looked back at her. ''
'' it said happily. It ran a circle around her and jumped into her lap.
I guess it's my turn now, right.
Colette was surprised by the unfamiliar voice, and looked up behind her, but just then she was passed by its owner; a rather tall black-haired young man walked to the table with large steps. Colette picked Torchic up in her arms and stood up, watching the other person. He seemed to have closed his eyes to make his choice. Wait, was he choosing at random?! She had no time to consider it, for immediately after picking it up he threw the Pokéball to reveal his choice: a small Mudkip stood on the floor, looking around a little bewildered. ''
'' it cried.
Colette decided it best to let them get to know each other a little bit, and returned to the professor. Pine was already waiting for the both of them, smiling, but with her arms crossed.
I see you picked Torchic! And it seems to like you too. That's wonderful!
'' She walked over to her desk and pulled out two extra chairs for Colette and the other person to sit on. They sat down together, Torchic on Colette's lap. Professor Pine waited a little while for the second trainer to come out before starting her explanation. She smiled once again when she saw said trainer walk toward them.
And you took.. Mudkip! I see. I hope he will become a valuable companion to you as well as a strong fighter!
'' She paused so he could join them. Colette smiled at him and tried to say 'hi' softly, but combined with her shyness it ended up as a whisper. Slightly embarrassed, she turned to the professor to listen.
Now, the both of you need to understand that the mission you're being sent out on isn't going to be an easy one. As you know, Team Plasma, the evil organisation that threatened Unova before has resurrected once again, this time stronger than ever before. With their leader Ghetsis' Genesect, they shot and killed White, and managed to capture Kyurem as a result. Combined, their strength is overwhelming, and they caused great havoc in Unova already.
Yes, I'm aware.
'' Colette said. ''
I was in Castelia City at the time of their attack, you see…
You were? That's… Hm. I see. In that case, you should be fully aware just how large a threat we're facing at this point in time. We may have successfully evacuated the Unova Region, but there is no guarantee that Plasma won't follow us here – in fact, I'm quite certain they will.
And that is the reason we will be sent out, isn't it? To follow in White's footsteps, to make Team Plasma disappear once and for all this time…
'' Colette murmured as she looked down at the Torchic in her lap. ''
'' it chirped as it looked back at her excitedly. At that, Colette held the Torchic a little tighter against her. At the time of the attack, her Pokémon hadn't exactly been weak. She had been travelling for a while, but Colette was far from being an Ace Trainer. Was there enough time to establish a completely new team from scratch that would be able to defeat Ghetsis? Images from Castelia flashed before Colette's eyes, imagining what would happen to if she couldn't…
She snapped out of it when another trainer came running into the room. ''
Sorry I'm late Professor!
'' He quickly walked on through to the room where the Pokéballs were being kept. He apparently took one and was about to hightail it back out of the room. ''
Who are you again?
'' The professor said.
Frank Hul! Got to go!
The professor quickly checked the list on her table. ''
You're not on my list…
'' she said, her eyes swiftly moving through the list again to make sure.
The door slammed shut. The Professor ran into the Pokéball room and finally it dawned on her what actually happened. ''
He stole the Totodile! Can you go after him?
Torchic chirped as Colette stood up from her chair and put her little Pokémon back in its ball. ''
'' She started walking towards the door hurriedly, but then turned around to face the other trainer, and continued walking backwards.
I'm Colette. Come with me! ...Please!
-- i don't need promises.

A 22-year-old man accused of helping kill University of North Carolina student body president Eve Carson is to go before a judge on federal charges from a superseding indictment.
Demario Atwater, who is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday, already faced several federal charges, including one count of carjacking resulting in death, and carrying and using firearms during and in relation to carjacking, both of which could see him sentenced to death. The superseding indictment included a kidnapping charge.
Atwater and 18-year-old Laurence Lovette face state murder charges in the March 5 death of 22-year-old Eve Carson of Athens, Ga. She had been shot five times, including once with a 12-gauge shotgun.
Lovette will not face the death penalty in her death because he was under 18 when Carson was killed.

Just snagged one at our local PBS this afternoon on clearance price of $24.00. I've ridden real narrow tires back in the 80s like the Specialized Turbo S in 700 x 19 size so I'm wondering if it's similar or better than those ultra narrow tires from that era. I'm thinking of using it on my front wheel and keeping my Diamante Pro Vittoria on the rear. They only had one of them in the store and they couldn't track anymore doan in the PDS system, so I'm going to mix tires for the very first time. Is there anything bad about doing that.

The obligation to protect human life, stands at the centre of our tradition. Derived from a verse in Leviticus which reads, "Neither shall you stand by the blood of your neighbor," the classical rabbis developed the overarching principle of pikuach nefesh, which asserts the supreme responsibility of protecting individuals who are in potentially life-threatening situations.
This week's parashah includes a distinctive Torah instruction which reflects our tradition's view to protection life and, in particular, of those people in society who are vulnerable. The Israelites are instructed upon entering the land of Canaan to designate arei miklat, cities of refuge, which would function as asylums for the perpetrators of unintentional manslaughter from violent retribution by their victims' relatives.
As we read the Torah's instructions we are reminded of the huge number of refugees and displaced persons currently scattered across South Africa and around the globe.
When it comes to dealing with the reality of displaced people, the biblical institution of cities of refuge provide us with a Jewish foundation for pro-action.
In the Talmud, the cities of refuge are discussed in a number of places. In tractate Baba Batra of the Talmud we find a striking teaching within a seemingly mundane legal discussion concerning the proper width of a variety of pathways: "Our Rabbis taught: A private path is of the width of four cubits; a path from one town to another is to have a width of eight cubits; a public road, 16 cubits; the road to the cities of refuge, 32 cubits."
What is noteworthy about this teaching is that we find that the road to a city of refuge was required to be twice as wide as an ordinary public road. These teachings reflect something remarkable about the rabbinic attitude toward cities of refuge. The emphasis on the great width and sound condition of the roads leading to cities of refuge, illustrates the seriousness, with which the rabbis approached this biblically mandated communal responsibility.
If our tradition displays such concern for people who have themselves committed murder, even if unintentionally, how much more so should we feel compelled to protect these tens of millions of refugees, the bulk of whom are not themselves criminals but rather innocent bystanders driven from their homes as a result of wars and violence.
Living in a time where foreigners are exposed to hate and prosecution, we cannot feign ignorance to these humanitarian crises, regardless of where they may be occurring. And armed with the knowledge of these emergencies, we are faced, as individuals, communities, and as nations, with the choice of whether or not to respond.
There are many things that we can do. We can support the important work of organizations like UNICEF to lower the pain of refuges over the world, we can support Keren b'Kavod in Israel, the progressive Aid organization in Israel, or our local Jewish and Christian organization that are here to help. We can raise awareness in our Jewish communities of the refugee crisis.
As is often noted, the Torah has more to say about the proper treatment of strangers than it does with any other set of laws, including worshipping God or observing festivals.
Today is Mandela Day, and perhaps we all can contribute to the ideas and dreams he envisioned for South Africa, a State where the human dignity of every individual is the highest treasure we have.
Shabbat Shalom

Mrz 27
This evening, I am not going to share with you some regular thoughts on our Torah portion of this Shabbat. We will learn more about it tomorrow morning, especially from our Bat Mitzvah Jessica.
What I would like to share with you is a deep impression I have made this week at a seminar that was organized by Shalom Bayit, and I am very thankful that I had the chance to join the seminar.
The topic of the seminar was ABUSE; physical, mental, and sexual abuse. I know, this is not a usual topic for a Friday night sermon, but please bear with me for a moment.
The people on the podium, as well as two survivors shared with us not only facts, numbers and statistics, we can read everywhere; their words lead us into a sea of an emotional abyss, which they had to face personally or as counsellors professionally. They shared with us the brutality of any abuse, and how this affects and changes the life of any victim forever.
Even though we don't like to hear it, we must hear the following: The abuse of women, men, girls and boys has been happening also in the "Jewish world", it has been happening in our progressive one, too. We need to hear it, because it happens, and can happen everywhere at any time to everyone.
I don't want to shock you, but I have to, because we need to be aware of it. Awareness is the first step to change the situation, and to help the victims.
Our Torah portion for this week is mentioning again the Ner Tamid, the eternal light or flame that once was lit in the sanctuary on the altar of the tabernacle and the temple, and has now become a symbol of God's presence in every synagogue.
Some of you might (hopefully) remember that I talked about the eternal light just some weeks ago, because it was also a topic in Parashat Tetzaveh. On that Shabbat I shared with you the idea that the Ner Tamid is not only this light above the Aron HaKodesh, the Torah Ark, that represents God's presence in our Synagogue, it is also the divine spark that is imbedded in every human being. This eternal light is nourished by our love and care for another human being. It is the love of a parent, a partner, of a child, of a friend, or even a stranger that feeds this eternal light in us.
But, let's be reminded that this light is very fragile, it can be easily diminished or even worse, it can be extinguished very easily by abuse. This light needs our joined protection. We all, as individuals, and as part of this community have a high responsibility to keep this light shining, bright and un-touched.
If we learn that one person, only one, is in danger, or even already abused, we need to act immediately. As Rabbi Goldstein said – there is a zero tolerance policy towards abuse.
I have much more in my mind, I would like to share with you – the words of the survivors have impressed me heavily, and I know this is not the right place to share these experiences. But I think we should be having a seminar on this topic in the nearer future in order to give you all more information – first hand.
In the meantime, I would like to make you aware what you can do, if you learn about abuse, or if you need help.
We have pamphlets from Shalom Bayit in the foyer of the synagogue. They help you to understand more what abuse is, how you can recognize it, and how you can help or get help. Please get them.
As I said before, awareness is the first step to help the victims. Abuse happens, and the victims need our help. This synagogue is a safe zone. If you need help, or if you know of someone, who needs help, you will find it here.
Shabbat Shalom

אחת שאלתי מאת־יהוה אותה אבקש שבתי בבית־יהוה כל־ימי חיי לחזות בנעם־יהוה ולבקר בהיכלו׃
One thing I ask from the Eternal, One thing I desire:
That I may dwell in the house of Adonai all the days of my life,
To behold the graciousness of the Eternal,
And to enter His sanctuary.
Psalm 27.4
Rabbi Avidan, Rabbi Margolis, Rabbi Shaked,
Dear congregants and guests,
Please allow me to go back for a moment to our Torah reading from yesterday:
During Jethro's visit to the Israelites camp, he notices a long line of people waiting to bring their disputes before Moses. Sitting alone from morning until evening, Moses listens to each argument, hears each problem, and states his judgment on each situation brought before him.
Jethro is astounded:
"What is this thing you are doing for the people?" he asks Moses.
"Why do you act alone, while all the people stand about you from morning until evening?"
Noting that Jethro was deeply upset with Moses, Rabbi Fields quotes an ancient sage who suggests that what disturbed Jethro was not Moses appeared overworked – but that Moses had become full of self-importance. Moses, he says, was "behaving like a king, who sits on his throne while all the people stand."
The Torah is – as I have mentioned several times before – an important guideline for every one of us. One of its goals, to my understanding, is to form a just society. The Torah forms out of a group of slaves a nation of priests, serving God and all humanity. There is a massage for every one of us, as we are all to some degree slaves to something, and we will hopefully become once all these cohanim, priests, the Torah envisions us to be.
And so it doesn't come as a surprise that the Torah is raising the question of leadership several times. As much as the Torah leads us to a society founded on the ideal of equality and democracy, it does not undermine the need of a strong leadership, as long as it is to the benefit of the people. And that is why Jethro criticizes Moses so harshly right in the beginning of his leadership.
The quote for our induction from the 4th book of Moses, Numbers 27.16 and 17 underlines this idea. This time it is Moses, who asks God at the end of his leadership to appoint a new leader, a good shepherd for the Israelites "who shall go out before them and to come in before them".
"Both instructions of the Torah teach us that leadership has always been a serious responsibility. Caring for the safety of a community and preserving its culture and traditions are complex tasks. Jethro appreciated the need to share the burden, and the interpreters of his advice to Moses – defined for us the qualities of leadership – required by Jewish tradition." (Fields)
And so I pray to God, as we both, Rabbi Margolis and I, are entering the leadership of this community that we will meet the standards our tradition has set for us, that we will be wise in our leadership like the old Moses, and always sensible to the need of our people, you all, like Jethro.
And let us say Amen.

Feb 12
Shabbat Shekalim ("Sabbath [of] shekels") takes place on the Shabbat before the 1st of the Hebrew calendar month of Adar, and is one of the four 4 special Shabbatot surrounding Purim and Passover to help us prepare physically and spiritually for those holidays. Traditionally every adult Jew was requested to contribute a half of a Biblical shekel for the upkeep of the Tabernacle. This tax was due by the 1st of Nisan, meaning in a month from now. In later times – as we can understand it from our Haftarah – the donation was used for maintenance of the temple. Today we can understand it as a contribution to the infrastructure of a community. The building and maintenance of a Synagogue for example. As the Israelites contributed to the building of the Mishkan, the tabernacle, we are still today asked to support our communities.
But we shouldn't make the mistake to understand it only as a donation of money. This is one way of support, but Silver and Gold are only placeholder/symbols for other things we can give. It can be a cake for a Bracha, help when something needs to be prepared or done in the Synagogue or the visit of people who are sick. Sometimes, "just coming to the prayer services" can be a big contribution. Today, I think, the giving of TIME is one of the most valuable offerings we can give to our community.
Thank you all. – Rabbi Adrian M Schell

A delicate balance between immunostimulatory and immunosuppressive signals mediated by dendritic cells (DC) and other antigen-presenting cells (APC) regulates the strength and efficacy of anti-viral T cell responses. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a potent activator of plasmacytoid DC (pDC). Chronic pDC activation by HIV promotes the pathogenesis of the acquired human immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Cholesterol is pivotal in maintaining HIV envelope integrity and allowing HIV-cell interaction. By depleting envelope-associated cholesterol to different degrees, we generated virions with reduced ability to activate pDC. We found that APC activation was dissociated from the induction of type I interferon (IFN-α/β) and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-mediated immunosuppression in vitro. Extensive cholesterol withdrawal, resulting in partial protein and RNA loss from the virions, rendered HIV a more powerful recall immunogen for stimulating memory CD8 T cell responses in HIV-exposed uninfected individuals. These enhanced responses were dependent on the inability of cholesterol-depleted HIV to induce IFN-α/β.

Osafo's Group
For the last 13 years Osafo has sold bags. His business strategy is to barter with customers to get the best price. He sells the bags one at a time or in bulk, so the price differs according to the number each customer buys.
Osafo has received eight previous loans through ID Ghana, Kiva's partner, and has a good repayment record. He is now applying for a 2,400 GHS (Ghanaian Cedi) loan so that he could buy plenty and make more profit. He will use his ninth loan to buy more bags to sell.
Osafo would like to open a big store one day. He hopes his children will finish their education and be able to travel overseas to continue their education.
The other member is also requesting a loan of 700 GHS to buy and sell Milo beverages.
Additional Information
About ID GhanaID Ghana is a microfinance NGO that provides financial and social services to underserved urban communities in Accra. ID Ghana's socially-oriented business model provides clients with a number of social services, including financial literacy training, group discussions led by peer educators on health and nutrition education, child schooling, basic medical services, and counseling and legal services for women victims of violence.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Dealing with Rebellious Student Behavior
Clements, Rhonda, JOPERD--The Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance
With so much talk nationwide about incompetent teachers and failing schools, it is easy to overlook the struggles that some teachers face when entering the work force. Most newly certified teachers are highly prepared, and they have the ability to describe and apply scientific and theoretical knowledge in their lessons (initial teacher standard one; National Association for Sport and Physical Education, 2009). They can also plan appropriate learning experiences (standard three) and have acquired the skills to physically demonstrate advanced motor activities (standard two). Their training included communication skills, instructional cues, and instructional feedback (standard four). Furthermore, they have the aspiration to be effective teachers, unless the unthinkable happens and they find themselves confronted with classes full of rebellious students. Sadly, many capable teachers struggle just to get through each day.
Almost immediately, many teachers' conversations with friends indicate feelings of excessive stress. Statements like "I'm in my third week and still nothing works" and "It took everything I had to hold back my tears" are common phrases that express teachers' frustration. Perplexed family members are not qualified to give more than verbal support. School colleagues emphasize that it takes time to win over students and gain their approval. Emails from former student-teaching supervisors suggest that the individual seek immediate advice from school administrators. The school's administrators have their hands full, and the teacher soon learns that physical education is not their highest priority. Finally, after repeated aggravation, the teacher's thinking shifts to just "sticking it out" or "hanging on" until the next holiday or midyear break. At this point the individual resigns to feeling disillusioned or even deeply depressed.
This scenario is particularly distressing when teachers desperately want to retain their position and apply their professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions. At the very least, today's teachers should have an awareness of the primary issues surrounding rebellious student behavior. They should also have been trained in management techniques that can be used when first encountering students who resist their instruction. Common rebellious behaviors include talking during class and continually using profanity, showing an unwillingness to move when asked, or overtly ignoring the teacher's request to perform a specific skill. In describing the actions of some students, Dennis Fermoyle (2005), an experienced teacher and coach wrote, "The most disruptive students are mean, sneaky, rebellious game players. The game of the disruptive student is to go as far as possible and get away with as much as possible without actually getting kicked out of the class" (p. 20).
So, what constitutes rebellious behavior? Although every student is unique, there are several characteristics that are typical among rebellious students, especially at the middle and secondary school levels. First, a rebellious student openly opposes authority figures and may even view the teacher as an enemy. This view of the teacher is expressed by continually interrupting the lesson until the teacher is no longer able to overlook or dismiss the student's actions. This behavior is different than that of earlier generations of middle and secondary students. For example, 20 years ago, most students could be counted on to respect the teacher's authority, at least until the teacher did something to change a student's perception. This does not mean that all students automatically liked or displayed a fondness for their teachers, but most students did recognize the need to obey directions or be subjected to certain disciplinary actions.
Today's adolescents are much more likely to believe that a teacher must earn their admiration and respect before they are willing to follow instructions. This is one reason why many new teachers initially struggle to get the students' attention. …

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D WRL file with texture not working correctly http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=59221&th=12147#msg_59221 <![CDATA[Hi all. I'm a 3D modeler/animator who is new to 3D print models and their specs.
 I have been trying to upload to Shapeways a .wrl file with a .jpg texture referenced to the model itself.
 I use Maya and exported the 3D file and texture.
 Shapeways customer support keeps having trouble either opening the file and/or finding the texture.
 Is there something I may be doing wrong? I've done all I know to fix this and need some tech. advice.
 Using Maya 2010.

 Thanks,

 I zipped each individual file by selecting the wrl file, the rgb file that was created upon export, and the .jpg texture file.
 Thanks Marcus]]> Patrick3D 2012-12-26T16:53:07-00:00 Re: WRL file with texture not working correctly http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=59235&th=12147#msg_59235 <![CDATA[You should have only two files inside the ZIP - the Texture (.jpg) and the .wrl file....like so:

 It should not be double-zipped.

 The rgb file you mentioned may not be necessary to zip with the wrl and texture file. Try just the wrl and texture.

 I hope it is not the infamous wrl coding problem(Shivers)

Yes, I've been doing this procedure, with selecting both the texture and wrl file , then compressing them both into a .zip archive folder.
 No luck so far , have tried twice this way. But I did just upload another archive .zip folder with a new .wrl file and .jpeg file. The rgb file that accompanied the wrl file I was told can be opened in fcheck and saved as a .jpeg..so I did this and will see if this works.
 Does anyone know of a free vrml viewer online? I've tried several for my mac but no luck here either. I just want to see on my end if the wrl file opens before I waste my time uploading to Shapeways only to get an error email from CS.

I just downloaded and installed MeshLab, and realized that I can just export the model as an .obj in Maya with texture referenced..then open the .obj in Meshlab and save as .wrl. I tried this and it worked, with texture and all! So hopefully no more errors. Thanks all!

Thursday the U.S. Green Building Council gave the Delta Township GM plant a gold certification for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. Plant Leaders say this proves the plant is one of a kind. The building is the only auto manufacturing plant in the world to receive a LEED certification.
A team of environmental engineers worked together to make it all possible. Some of the features in the building include waterless toilets, high tech insulation and a reflective roof to cut down on heating and cooling costs, and ditches that protect area ground water. On top of that the toilets are flushed with rainwater collected on the roof, saving as much as 4 million gallons a year.
Plant Leaders say they hope other companies realize through GM's example that going green doesn't just protect the environment; in the long run it saves money.

I've done a couple of short tours recently in Southern Ontario. One around Paris, the second near Port Hope.
I stealth camp using a Hennessy hammock so I am suspended less than a metre from the ground. Both times I was awoken around 4:00 in the morning by the smell of skunk. To our European, African and Australiasian members, a skunk is a small mammal, black in colour with a white stripe up the centre of its body. It is quite timid but is capable of projecting a musky smelling fluid which is quite offensive. You can smell the skunk if you are within close proximity. They usually only spray when challenged.
The question to my North American members is this:
Is there anyway of making your camp site less attractive to skunks? If one is nearby what are the best practises?

We have had an issue 3 different times within the past 2 weeks where when driving, we get a message saying decreased engine power, and we are then unable to drive faster than 40km..the first two times we stopped, shut the truck off, and when we restarted it, it was back to normal. Yesterday my husband shut if off and it wouldn't start back up right away. Could it be we need a new battery? Or is it something more serious?

Themes From the Movies
Pictured here is the illustration used in several recently filed trademark applications filed by The Walt Disney Company. Just from the looks of it, three things are very clear: (1) it prominently features the Disney 'D' logo; (2) it contains a portion of what appears to be a filmstrip; and (3) the shape and outline of the illustration strongly suggests a mobile app, be it iOS, Android or both.
More importantly, the illustration accompanied several trademark applications for the following uses:
Though it's been promoting the program for well over a year and has even since changed the name of it, it appears that The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) may be finally ready to unveil its 'Disney Movies Anywhere' (formerly 'Disney Studios All Access') initiative.
Based on Disney's own proprietary technology dubbed Keychest, DMA will allow customers to purchase a single copy of a Disney title and subsequently be able to watch it across all devices on an on-demand basis. A competing technology, UltraViolet — which is backed by movie studios other than Disney — has been available for some time, but has not been well received overall by its customers. TWDC CEO Bob Iger has suggested in the past that he would allow UltraViolet to be the trailblazer and potentially gauge their market reaction to help mold that of Disney's own.
Still attempting to keep the new name for its movie cloud a secret, Walt Disney Studios has officially stopped promoting the service which allows consumers to play back movies across all devices as being called 'Disney Studio All Access' (DSAA). The DSAA teaser site (dsaa.com) now points to http://disney.go.com/movies-rewards-more which features a new, abbreviated version of the teaser video featuring the song 'Everything At Once' by Lenka. The new video makes no reference to 'Disney Studio All Access,' nor the replacement name we've been reporting of 'Disney Movies Anywhere.' Instead the video promises simply 'movies, extras, rewards and much, much more' and advises the viewer to visit MoviesRewardsMore.com which is owned by Disney but is not yet operational despite the video being on a well known page.
Last month, we offered up evidence that Disney's (NYSE:DIS) proprietary digital film access system, once known as Disney Studio All Access, had undergone a name change to now be known as 'Disney Movies Anywhere.' Although DISNEYMOVIESANYWHERE.COM ultimately goes to the DSAA preview site (via disneymoviesanywhere.disney.go.com) and the company has kindly removed the website pictured here (which was never at the aforementioned domain name ironically enough).
Despite making changes to hide the new name, however, the Walt Disney Company formally filed several trademark applications last week for 'Disney Movies Anywhere' for the following areas:
Though it has yet to show any sign of life beyond advertisements which began a year ago at the Disney D23 Expo and subsequent home video releases, it appears the Disney Studio All Access program is still alive and kicking behind-the-scenes only now it will be known as 'Disney Movies Anywhere.'
Not surprisingly, Disney (NYSE:DIS) has been tight-lipped on the program, which allows customers to buy a Disney title once and then play it back across all devices from anywhere. There has been nary a mention since Robert Iger stated Disney is maintaining a 'wait and see' attitude in response to the launch of its main competition, UltraViolet, which has been falling way short of wowing its customers thus far.
Now that Disney (NYSE:DIS) has finally gotten its 'TV Everywhere' initiative off the ground, as we first reported earlier this month — with even more networks such as ABC Family on the way, along with cable providers beyond Comcast — the focus now shifts to Disney's extensive film collection.
An announcement made last week on Disney Movies Online has raised some eyebrows, causing some to ponder if DSAA/Keychest's time has finally arrived. Certainly the changes coming to DMO on June 27 are worth the contemplation: accounts for those under 13 not permitted; accounts only for United States users; and a slew of films that won't be available for viewing online for the foreseeable future.
Since Disney's earnest campaign to announce the arrival of its digital movie locker service, Disney Studio All Access (DSAA) just prior to last year's Disney D23 Expo, there hasn't been much of it seen beyond a teaser website and an open invitation to 'be the first to learn more.' Indeed, while UltraViolet (a competing technology) has already hit the market, Disney CEO and President Robert Iger admitted earlier this year that 'we haven't rolled out KeyChest as extensively as we hoped that we would at this point.'
The Walt Disney Company is semi-quietly preparing to launch its much-hyped and talked-about 'Disney Studios All Access' (DSAA) offering which essentially allows fans who have purchased a Disney film to then access that film across all mediums and multiple devices, including on-demand streaming, at no additional cost — ever. The service was first teased in the guidebook for the 2011 Disney D23 Expo with not much more information than the service will be 'coming soon.' Late last week, a micro website with a teaser video (below) has been created to promote the new service which lists the following titles available at launch: Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, Toy Story 3, TRON: Legacy, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Tangled, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Wall-E, UP, Alice in Wonderland, Snow Buddies, The Lion King, Disney's A Christmas Carol, Enchanted, Secretariat, Cars 2, High School Musical 3.
