Feedback from our athletes has been tremendous. Greatly helps improve early vertical forearm with hip driven and shoulder driven freestyle.

They Work
These should be called "anti-paddles." When you first put them on it can feel a bit awkward but they do what they say they do, provided you actually know what a proper freestyle catch and pull is. If you don't they will just frustrate you. However, if you know what a good catch and pull is, or are at least willing to work at it, but don't know how to train your neurological pathways to consistently obtain it, these will help. Definitely force me to a high elbow catch and EVF style stroke if i want to go anywhere with them on. Also can bring out hidden instabilities in your core and timing and thus encourages good core rhythm also. While fist drills can do the same, these put your hand in a more relaxed normal position so I find them more comfortable and beneficial for longer drill sets. They add some weight to your hands too on the recovery which can actually be beneficial to developing a good leading elbow/relaxed forearm recovery if that is your recovery style. As far as negatives: One minor negative is that they have some positive buoyancy. Not a lot but enough that you notice. Doesn't seem to be causing any problems or affecting my stroke negatively though. Also, I think someone who is not already an efficient swimmer with good feel for the water may be frustrated by these. Or if you swim with a pronounce s-style pull and no high elbow catch these are not for you (unless of course you want to change that). I give them 4 stars because of these negatives.All in all I have found them to be a worth while training tool and I would buy them again.

Great for training!
These paddles are wonderful to assist you in finding the optimal heavy water to pull. They "slip" through the water and as your brain/body struggles to find the feel of the heaviest water to pull, you learn. Take them off and you feel the most powerful swim of your life.They are a bit of a nuisance to strap and the straps break easily.

The work!!
Felt like I had no propulsion which is exactly what these are intended to do. They are def making me a better swimmer by correcting my form

balanced vs unbalanced
Using the PT paddles helps me feel the difference between being balanced and unbalanced in the water. Compared to swimming with fist, these paddles allow you to keep your hand in a normal position and still feel the water... but you can't anchor onto the water with your hand. Highly recommended.

Works as advertised
I swim an hour every day for exercise and bought these because I wanted to improve my swimming technique. For a while, I used to do a fist to simulate the same idea, but these work much better. The biggest advantage I first noticed was that they push your elbows higher, which is something I really struggled with. But there were other good things, too, like better body roll, using my lats and core muscles instead of relying heavily on shoulder muscles. Long-term, the biggest benefit is in avoiding shoulder injuries, both from bad technique, which these help you correct, as well as from relying solely on shoulder muscles/overworking them. I have noticed a big difference in how my shoulders feel. And I noticed the difference almost instantly, within a day or two after I started using these, which is amazing. If you know what you're doing, these are a great tool. If you are just starting out swimming or getting the basics of the freestyle stroke, I would recommend that you stay away from these until you become more advanced as these will frustrate you, as is evident by other reviews here. The only minor downside/design flaw I found with these is that the rubber band in the middle is a bit uncomfortable, so I decided to take it off altogether and it works just fine. Other than that, I think it's pretty well designed (well, so far, anyway - I've only been using these for a few weeks).
St. Louis, MO
WOW! Buy these to improve.
Put these on your hands and swim. Without proper body roll and mechanics you won't go anywhere. These also protect your shoulders. If you know how to use them, and are willing to push yourself -really push yourself, you will improve. If your mind is closed, or you're lazy -don't buy them.

You'll drown before you improve your stroke!
Poorly designed, poorly executed, just plain weird training tool. Is less effective than training with rocks in your hands...silly concept. For those dumb enough to try anything.
Patrick C.
Sherman Oaks, CA
The first time I put these on I felt like I wasn't moving at all in the water. Made me realize just how much I was using my hands for my pull instead of my arms and chest. I use them 2x a week and I can tell my catch and pull is getting better. They still feel very awkward, but they do work.
Angela H.
High Point, NC
These are great for feeling the difference of how much the hands play a part in freestyle swimming. I've put them into use for our swim team and have seen tremendous gains.

All films presented at 7 p.m., Cornell Auditorium in Plaster Hall on the campus of Missouri Southern State University. (See Map)
No admission is charged.
For half a century our organization, now known as Missouri Southern Film Society, has programmed significant classic and world cinema.
Program notes are distributed before each screening and participation in informal discussions is encouraged. These promote greater perception and help stimulate a critical appreciation of the films.
Our first program, the British comedy The Belles of St. Trinian's, was shown Oct. 15, 1962 and we continue to explore creative traditional and new wave movements. For the last nine years films representing a specific country have been shown as an activity of our themed-semesters. Each fall the MSSU Institute of International Studies presents films that focus on the country featured during the themed semester. The Society's continuing offerings of films from other countries, recently restored and transferred to DVD format, are shown in the spring.

Cornell Auditorium in Plaster Hall
Admission: free
Brazil's highest grossing film in decades traces the struggle and triumph of two brothers who become an outstanding country music duo.
Germany, Pale Mother (Deutschland Bleiche Mutter) (West Germany, 1980)
This account of writer-director Helma Sanders-Brahms' childhood and emotionally powerful love story, traces the history of World War II Germany from an extremely personal and distinctly feminist point of view. A newly-married young woman sees her husband sent off to the Eastern front. She and her daughter struggle for survival throughout the war, only to face a husband who, when he returns, wreaks havoc on the family. Labeled "A brave film, it demands a brave audience" (Village Voice) and a "...sharply observed autobiographical drama ..." (The Times, London)
The Joke (Zert) (Czechoslovakia, 1968)
Directed by Jaromil Jires of the Czech New Wave. In Stalinist Czechoslovakia of the 1950's, a professor is expelled from his university and sentenced to prison for sending a ribald postcard to his girlfriend. Upon his release, he plots to exact his revenge by seducing the wife of the official who turned him in. This fierce satire was subsequently banned and shelved for years. Author and critic Amos Vogel called this film "possibly the most shattering indictment of totalitarianism to come out of a Communist country…a chilling examination of a corrupt society."
The Lady with the Dog (Dama s sobachkoi) (Russia, 1960)
Based on Anton Chekhov's short story of the same name, this romantic drama is a bittersweet portrait of a doomed love affair between two lonely people, both married, around the turn of the century. Josef Heifitz's sensitive direction is a superb visualization of the restrained tone and atmosphere of desperation of the legendary writer, conveying with extreme subtlety the surroundings and social ambience of Yalta in summer and Moscow in winter. The film won the Prix de la Millieure Participation award at the 1960 Cannes Festival, for its "lofty humanism and high artistic standard."
The Last Stage (Ostatni Etap) (Poland, 1948)
Director Wanda Jakubowska and scriptwriter Gerda Schneider were among inmates at the Auschwitz concentration camp who experienced the last stage of the final journey to the gas chambers and crematoria. Filmed on location in the female section of the camp, it tells the story of one woman's attempt to survive until she is eventually rescued. After it won the Golden Lion at the 1948 Venice Festival and subsequent success, it drew attention to the postwar Polish film renaissance.

Today I am starting on a trek – a trek to honesty. Many in the blogosphere are doing it, (like her… ooo and her) so why not join in? The journey is called "30 Days of Honesty" While some of the questions look easy enough, there are already some that I am dreading. Honesty does require a bit of transparency and that transparency is making me a wee bit nervous. But what better way to conquer a fear then to face it head on? You are buying this right? So my first official post will be tomorrow. Curious what the "30 Days of Honesty" entails? here is the list of questions.
- Day 01 → Something you hate about yourself.
- Day 02 → Something you love about yourself.
- Day 03 → Something you have to forgive yourself for.
- Day 04 → Something you have to forgive someone for.
- Day 05 → Something you hope to do in your life.
- Day 06 → Something you hope you never have to do.
- Day 07 → Someone who has made your life worth living for.
- Day 08 → Someone who made your life hell, or treated you like sh*t.
- Day 09 → Someone you didn't want to let go, but just drifted.
- Day 10 → Someone you need to let go, or wish you didn't know.
- Day 11 → Something people seem to compliment you the most on.
- Day 12 → Something you never get compliments on.
- Day 13 → A band or artist that has gotten you through some tough ass days. (write a letter.)
- Day 14 → A hero that has let you down. (letter)
- Day 15 → Something or someone you couldn't live without, because you've tried living without it.
- Day 16 → Someone or something you definitely could live without.
- Day 17 → A book you've read that changed your views on something.
- Day 18 → Your views on gay marriage.
- Day 19 → What do you think of religion? Or what do you think of politics?
- Day 20 → Your views on drugs and alcohol.
- Day 21 → (scenario) Your best friend is in a car accident and you two got into a fight an hour before. What do you do?
- Day 22 → Something you wish you hadn't done in your life.
- Day 23 → Something you wish you had done in your life.
- Day 24 → Make a playlist to someone, and explain why you chose all the songs. (Just post the titles and artists and letter)
- Day 25 → The reason you believe you're still alive today.
- Day 26 → Have you ever thought about giving up on life? If so, when and why?
- Day 27 → What's the best thing going for you right now?
- Day 28 → What if you were pregnant or got someone pregnant, what would you do?
- Day 29 → Something you hope to change about yourself. And why.
- Day 30 → A letter to yourself, tell yourself EVERYTHING you love about yourself
Want to join me? If you do let me know. We can conquer all that transparency together!
Something You Hate About Yourself
Well, nothing like diving right in on the first day! And already I am finding myself floundering. Sadly, I can think of a lot of things. I can go the whole physical route about how much I hate my belly pouch and expansive highway of stretch marks that goes across it. But on the flip side, I earned those marks (and pouch) by giving life to two of the most important little people in my life. I often joke when they ask me about all the marks that I want to tattoo little cars and semis on them, just to make them look a little prettier. I then proceed to remind them that it was their big fat melon heads that caused my belly to grow beyond what is normal, so in the end, it's all their fault. Hey, I am Irish. We know ALL about Mommy guilt.
I could also focus on my issues with worrying and anxiety. There are days my mind perseverates on the "What ifs…" Nights that I lay awake wondering what what would happening if faced with A, B or C. It annoys me. It angers me. And quite frankly, it leaves me very tired and cranky in the morning. I try and move past it by take deep breaths and praying about it. I exercise and consume large amounts of coffee. I try and focus on all the positives in my life. But the reality of it is – the world we live in today is full of uncertainty and my brain doesn't like it. Too many of my young friends have been diagnosed with cancer, too many of my friends have lost an adult child, too many of my friends are struggling with life. There is a lot to worry about, and often times, I let it get the best of me. Man I hate that.
Something You Love About Yourself
Funny how when asked to state something that you like, or even love about yourself, it automatically feels like boasting. It is common in a social setting to complain about ones short coming or about the thing the dislike of others, but when someone begins to discuss something they succeed in they are quickly viewed as a braggart. Well i am going to take this opportunity to share some of the things I truly love about myself. Let the bragging begin!
I pride myself in being a good friend, if you are deemed worthy. I do not take my friendships lightly and it take a lot for me to truly trust someone. Once you earn that trust – you are golden, unless of course you betray me. Then, well…. I am a Scorpion. We are know to strike fast. After that, you are of no use to me. But back to my goodness! Along with be a tried and true friend I am also, in my opinion, a good mother. I love my boys more and more with each passing day. I know in my heart that I am raising them to be the men their future wives, and God, want them to be. And while their bickering and whining can easily push me over the edge, I know that some day I will miss this stage. Ok, maybe I won't, but I will miss them being small. I love watching them grow into smart, sensitive and strong young men and I take pride that I have a role in that.
Of course, I also think I am a good wife and I am sure, on most days, my husband would agree. I love, respect and honor but am also truthful and honest. Not that I am without faults!! But I am lucky enough to have a husband who will tolerate them (on most days).
Something You Have To Forgive Yourself For
Aaaah, perfection. It is a quick and easy answer, with a plaguing lifelong history. I am constantly trying to hold myself to an unachievable standard. It takes a lot out of me and can be quite the mental downer.
I will say however, that some days are better then others. Some days I embrace my dust bunnies. Heck, someday I ask them if they would be so kind as to clean the bathrooms while I am out. They never do though. Darn those dust bunnies!
Other days, I am far less tolerant. I get angry when I step on, yet another Lego/sword/action figure/dirty sock. I curse myself for not being able to keep a clean house, a homemade meal on the table every night, the laundry from overflowing like Mount Vesuvius. I quickly judge myself when I walk into someone else's home and it is neat and tidy. Their floors are clean and there are no dirty dishes on the counter. Why can't I get my life to look like that?
Then I realize, my life cannot look like that because that, is not my life. My life has moments of calm amongst the chaos. My life has dust bunnies and dirty dishes. My life has random dirty socks. My life is perfectly unperfected and I need to learn to love it.
Something You Have To Forgive Someone For
I have been pondering this question for quite some time. I have gone back to my childhood, my teen years and through my adult life – there isn't a person I have not forgiven. I will clarify that there are definitely things I remember and that I won't forget. There are things that cannot be made right. There are grievances that, no matter how hard I try or how often I pray about them, those grievances still remain. Some, I am sad to say, are so deeply etched in my inner being that they greatly effect many of the decisions I make today.
But as a Christian, I believe forgiveness is a choice. It is a choice I make because it is the choice He wants me to make. Do I always like it? No. Do I sometimes forgive people half heartedly? Yes. Do I forgive people who don't ask for forgiveness. Often. Do I ask for forgiveness? Every. Single. Day.
I highly recommend giving forgiveness a try, even to someone you truly believe does not deserve it. You will be amazed at the lightness in your heart and while the feeling is not always immediate, over time that weight will be lifted.
Something You Hope To Do In Your Life
Finally! An easy one. Yes, this Lassie has great dreams, grand aspirations, hopes galore. You can see many of these hopes and dreams on my Bucket List. Go ahead, click it. I will wait…..
Oh good you came back! I was getting a little worried. As you can see, there is a lot I hope to do in this lifetime. I long to live overseas which is further fueled by my intense desire to travel. Oh how I would love to backpack through Europe, explore the jungles of Belize, chase a kangaroo through the outback. Ok, maybe not chase a kangaroo because I heard they can attack and knowing my luck… well, we all know my luck! I'll settle with nuzzling a koala.
There are also things I hope for that aren't so neat and tidy on a list. I hope to watch my boys grow into amazing adults. I hope to one day hold a grandchild. I hope my boys never have to experience something so traumatizing it scars them. I hope I get to enjoy my retirement with my Hubby. Heck at this point, I just hope to retire! But most of all, and as cliche as it sounds, I hope for happiness.
Something You Hope You Never Have To Do
I can keep this short and simple because it was the first thing that flew in my mind when I read this. I hope I never have to bury one of my children. Nuff said.
Someone Who Has Made Your Life Worth Living For
Again, I could easily sum this up in two words: my boys. I have always wanted to be a mother. As a child, I could not wait for the day that I would have my own little bundle of joy. Well, I was blessed with not one, but two bundles of boyous joy. Yep, I live in the world of Legos, Matchbox cars, bodily functions and stinky socks. And do you know what?? I would not change it for the world.
Ironically, I was elated when I found out I was having boys. One girl in my house is more than enough. Oh, and that one girl – is me! I am having a hard enough time with the male version of me. I can't imagine if he was a she. Ay, caramba!
But my crazy chaotic life of boys keeps me grounded. It gives me purpose and a desire to strive for what might normally be 'the unattainable'. Even better than tackling this crazed life alone, is tackling it with my leprechaun wrangling Hubby. Cause let's be honest: I wouldn't have my rambunctious leprechauns without him!!

Take a seat at a small bistro tucked away in the heart of Paris, ordering a chocolate croissant and a cup of serré, staring out at the Eiffel Tower just down the road.
The expectations are that the chocolate croissant is fresh, especially because France is known as the world capital of gastronomy, but it isn't. The croissant was actually heated in the oven, originating from a box of 500 frozen other croissants, partially prepared by industrial food giants.
Industrial food giants are very common in the United States, mostly present at chain food restaurants, but an authentic croissant from France is not an expected common practice of reheating frozen premade items.
The New York Times reported that the use of industrial food giants is a growing global practice.
The French have taken matters into their own hands in fixing the presence of industrial food sources, present in most touristy restaurants, by implementing a consumer protection law.
Now, all restaurants must indicate on a menu if an item is prepared fresh, mostly indicated by the words "fait maison," meaning made in-house or homemade. If an item on the menu is not labeled as "fait maison," then it is quite possible that the item was prepared by an industrial food giant, frozen and reheated for consumption.
A key indicator that industrial food giants have prepared menu items at restaurants is the length of the menu. The more the restaurant offers, the larger the kitchen needs to be. Most kitchens do not have the space to create such a large menu selection.
For Minnesotans seeking that true authentic French cuisine, fear not. Many metropolitan restaurants take pride in their small menu selections, offering fresh, prepared in-house, cuisines for all diners to enjoy.

Making our dangerous shopping temptations in Soho more dreamy, New York's coolest district has a new glamorous addition. In a cozy space on the corner of Prince and Greene Streets in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood, FENDI has staked residence for the next 6 months. The 640 sq. ft. space is the perfect balance of fun with the sophisticated style that any consumer would expect from the house of FENDI.

In it's upcoming six month stay, the concept store will switch up the theme of the products being sold and will feature everything from menswear to furs and beyond.
The dubbed #fendisoho shop also is full of Fendi's most coveted accessories for you to channel your inner kid in a grown-up way. While the majority of the shop is covered in sophisticated leather and velvet, the walls are adorned with playful hashtag signs and fun arcade-themed decor. In addition highlighting the details and craftsmanship of each Fendi product a grand chandelier crafted from lightbulbs illuminates the natural brick space, and merchandise will be displayed in ultrachic vending machines with splashy neon signs.
Fendi remains one of the world's premiere creators of bags, furs, and accessories. But fashion has changed as millennials have entered into adulthood, and brands now more than ever are altering their aesthetic to appeal to a younger and hipper market.
#fendisoho is open now and located at 122 Greene St.
Enjoy the adorable themed store.

Is it possible to convert in QGIS a GRD file (that was created in MapInfo) into an ASC file (that can be imported into SAGA)?
Is it possible to "extract by mask" a section of a GRD file in an other format than GeoTiff in QGIS?
Just try to add it to QGis as a new raster. If your file-format is in this list and supported by GDAL, then it will probably also be accessible in QGis.
You can "extract by mask" with the Gdal clipper tool. See this blog post for an example.

OK, so I'm sitting down and trying to get the major screen for our new UI revised and ready to be implemented (once the rest of the code is done at least).
The easiest of these is the Stores screen. What I've aimed to do with the updated UI is to:
1) Make it clear why it doesn't do anything until you capture / manufacture some items.
2) Stop it being quite so overwhelming.
As such, there are three "sub-screens" in the design.
Screen 1 is what is show if there are no items in the base stores. Pretty self explanatory really.
Screen 2 is the "Sell" screen, which is shown by default when you load up the screen and there is something in the stores. This has all the functionality of the current stores screen, but minus the awkward columns for Transfer also shoehorned in there too. The base is selected by the dropdown in the top left corner.
Screen 3 is the "Transfer" screen, which is shown when you click the Transfer tab in the "speech bubble" menu in the bottom left. Again, this has all the info you need to transfer items from one base to another without the extra columns from the Sell functionality mixed in. The bases in question can be chosen from the two drop-downs.
Overall, I think the changes are pretty simple but they should make the screen both prettier and more intuitive. Hopefully I'll have the updated Personnel screen later today too.

Why browser development is hard (and what we can do about it)
It should hardly come as a surprise to anyone when I tell you that browser development is hard.
Most browser code is written in C++. This is problematic for a number of reasons. First of all, C++ code takes a long time to compile. Compiling Firefox from scratch can easily take up to 15 minutes or more, even on a high-end system. This makes it very hard to quickly write and test something. On top of that, C++ code is error prone and hard to maintain.
Another problem is that as a project becomes older, it accumulates 'cruft': design decisions which seemed like a good idea at the time but have proven to cause more problems than they solve, interfaces that were bypassed in order to gain a bit more performance, quick hacks that were added under deadline pressure etc.
In practice, the accumulation of cruft is impossible to avoid, and once it is there, it is nearly impossible to get rid of it, because other code has come to depend on it. As a result, cruft becomes an increasingly large burden as a project gets older. This is especially problematic when dealing with C++ code, for the reasons I mentioned earlier.
Since Gecko is an older project than WebKit, the problems it has due to cruft are correspondingly larger as well. Although WebKit is slowly starting to run into the same problems as we are, this makes it very hard for us to keep up. That we are able to do so at all is a testament to the the passion and skill of our contributors.
Having said that, the burden of cruft is not going away, and is only going to get worse over time, so we need a strategy to deal with it. The most obvious solution is to find more contributors. However, C++ has a high barrier of entry, making such contributors hard to find.
A better solution, which in my opinion we should be moving towards, is to keep only the performance critical code in C++, and move as much platform code as we can from C++ to JavaScript. Having less code in C++ will lead to reduced compilation times. On top of that, JavaScript is less error prone and easier to maintain, which will alleviate the burden caused by cruft.
How the Add-on SDK can help
To move platform code from C++ to JavaScript, JavaScript code needs to be able to call into C++ code. Within Gecko, we use two technologies to accomplish this: XPCOM and XPConnect. XPCOM is a component framework that allows you to write components in a language agnostic way, and XPConnect is a reflection layer that allows you to use components written in one language from the other language.
The problem with XPConnect is that it is cumbersome to use. It has a verbose API, and since XPCOM components are language agnostic, their interface can not use idioms that are common in JavaScript code, but not in C++ code, such as higher-order functions.
Because XPConnect is so painful to use, many add-on developers have written their own abstraction layer on top of it, in order to smooth over some of XPConnects rough edges, and to provide an API that feels more native to
Unfortunately, almost every add-on developer write his own abstraction, so that almost every add-on reinvents the wheel in one way or another. Whenever something like that happens, its a sign that the API you are providing does not meet the needs of its users.
It's from this observation that the idea for the Add-on SDK was born: the goal of the SDK is to provide a set of high-level platform APIs that feel native to JavaScript and are easy to use, on top of low-level APIs such as
Originally, the Add-on SDK was primarily geared towards add-ons (hence the name). This is still reflected in the API's we currently provide: these are mainly geared towards the kind of functionality we expect add-ons to require.
In the future, however, our goal is to make the Add-on SDK the SDK of choice for all new Firefox features, not just add-ons. By providing a powerful set of platform APIs in JavaScript, we hope to attract new contributors, and create a strong incentive to write as little platform code in C++ as possible. If we do our job right (and I'm really hoping we will), the Add-on SDK could be the solution to the cruft problem.
How to get there
As a first step towards making the SDK the platform API of choice, we need to make it part of Firefox itself. We just accomplished a major step in that direction by landing the SDK's APIs and module loader on mozilla-central. They are on track to be shipped for Firefox 21.
Obviously, we are not there yet. Another step will be to figure out what kind of API's we need to extend the usefulness of the SDK beyond that of creating add-ons. If those API's are not powerful enough, or inconvenient to use,
platform developers will avoid them, so doing this step right will be crucial to our success.
Figuring out what kind of API's we need will be one of the focuses of our upcoming workweek in March, during which we hope to get a much better picture of what kind of functionality platform developers expect from the SDK.
Last, but not least, another exicting development is that the SDK team has recently become part of the Developer Tools team. Developer Tools is a natural target audience for the SDK. By working closely together we hope to make the creation of developer tools easier, and improve the SDK at the same time.

We were very stoked to get a chance to ask Austin a few questions about Catharsis, and about his oceanic inspiration.
|from left: Austin Tofte and Adam Young
of Owl City at a performance
Blue Freedom: Your music and band name is obviously dolphin-oriented, what is it that inspired you about dolphins in particular?
Austin Tofte: Truly, it's more than Dolphins. I (and the world in my opinion) owe so much thanks to Jacques Cousteau and everything he did. There are shots in Odyssey, with him and the crew swimming out in the wild with dolphins (and all sorts of aquatic creatures they encountered for that matter) treating them as such magnificent creatures. Just watching someone who embraces the beauty of a moment shared with an animal in the wild like that - it's really amazing... I mean, come on, who doesn't want to swim with dolphins in the wild?

LAGUNA BEACH – For a local preschool, students at Chabad Jewish Center have done quite a bit of "traveling" this school year thanks to their ABC'S Around the World program. Instead of "Aa" for Apple, "Aa" is for Africa with djembe drums, fried plantains and homemade African beads. The children practiced using chopsticks on rice and soy sauce and enjoyed a Chinese tea ceremony when they studied "Cc" for China, and the letter "Ff" found the little ones at the Eiffel Tower made of aluminum foil, decked out in colorful berets and eating French toast.
This week, the students, ages 2-5, learned about the tradition of breaking plates to celebrate occasions in "Gg" Greece, with the highlight being the "smashing of the plates" and gleeful shouts of "OPA." Their fine motor skills were put to the test as the children strung their own Greek worry beads and munched on pita bread and hummus.
The students have their own passports which are stamped as they travel from place to place.
"Through music, art, food, clothing and customs, there is a wealth of ways to teach our students about other cultures and the wonderful diversity that makes our world so interesting", said teacher Tracey Belland, program creator.
Chabad is at 30804 S. Coast Hwy. For more information: 949-499 -0770 or chabadoflaguna.com

Post-Game Video: Wilcox, Suggs, Gaddy | Romar and N'Diaye
By Gregg Bell - UW Director of Writing
SEATTLE - In the very first game, Aziz N'Diaye showed how indispensible he may be to the new-look Huskies all season.
The 7-foot center drifted through the lane with his arms spread wide like a falcon, daring any far-shorter Loyola, Md., player to enter. He devoured missed shots; and he was often the only one in home whites doing that en route to a career-high 16 rebounds.
Plus, for an opening-game bonus, he scored and even made free throws!
"Aziz N'Diaye was sensational," coach Lorenzo Romar said.
"I've always felt Aziz can average a double-double."
Junior C.J. Wilcox scored 13 of his 22 points in the second half, Abdul Gaddy scored 17 and fellow seniors Scott Suggs and N'Diaye helped break a tie early in the second half as Washington ran way from Loyola 85-63 Sunday to begin its 2012-13 season of curiosity at Alaska Airlines Arena.
Suggs finished with 15 points in his first game since he broke his foot and then redshirted all of last season.
Wilcox's shooting is likely to be there. Gaddy is rapidly growing comfortable in his role as the maestro of Washington's new high-post offense in the half court. Suggs' experience will make him key on offense and defense.
But most of all, N'Diaye showed how invaluable he is to the Huskies down low - especially now that power forward Shawn Kemp Jr. will miss the next six to eight weeks with a torn patella tendon. Aziz had 10 points and three blocks to go with his rebounding, which was 42 percent of Washington's team total. It was his seventh career double-double.
"I'm just playing my game. With Shawn being out, I know I have to step it up in rebounding for us to be successful," N'Diaye said.
"I can do my part."
Loyola (1-1) won the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference tournament last season before losing by 19 to Ohio State in the first round of the NCAA tournament. It stayed in this game for the first 22 minutes by continually getting past UW's guards and forwards for offensive rebounds and employing a full-court trap that harried the Huskies into 11 first-half turnovers.
The rebounding was the biggest downer of the otherwise uplifting opener for the Huskies. Nineteen of Loyola's 34 rebounds were on the offensive glass, as the Dawgs often failed to put bodies on the Greyhounds they were guarding.
"We just have to box out," Gaddy said, defining the issue succinctly as want-to.
The game was tied at 33 with 18:30 left when the Huskies began getting out on the break more easily, N'Diaye began taking advantage of a four-inch height advantage inside with turnarounds in the low blocks, Wilcox and Suggs began getting free outside for open jumpers - and UW stopped committing turnovers. UW went on a 15-6 run without committing a miscue to go up 48-39 with 14:54 left.
"Once we hit a couple, they know to keep feeding us the ball," Wilcox said of Gaddy and backup point guard Andrew Andrews, the redshirt freshman who debuted with nine points, two assists and one turnover. "And when both of us are hitting, it's tough to guard us."
The Huskies made eight of their first 10 shots after halftime and did not commit a turnover for the first 9 minutes of the second half. That turned the tie game into an 11-point Huskies lead, 55-44, on a drive and 3-point play by Gaddy with 12 minutes remaining.
"Guys can score at any time. That's this offense," Gaddy said of the high-post scheme Romar installed this summer and then had UW use on its six-game exhibition tour of Europe in early September. "Teams can't focus on one or two guys."
The variety of scorers and scoring locations made this an intriguing, entertaining glimpse of what UW may be able to do with an offensive system that has won 13 national titles. Ten of those came at UCLA under Hall of Fame coach John Wooden.
"I would say tonight it was a quiet 85 points. It was a low-possession game in a lot of cases," said Romar, a former UCLA assistant.
He has wanted to install this high-post offense as his main set for a decade at Washington but didn't feel he had the personnel to until now.
"We shot 54 percent and I thought we got great shots," he said. "I thought the offense tonight created great balance to make the defense pay. Four guys were in double figures and if Andrew Andrews made a free throw we would have five guys in double figures. If you're executing hopefully that's what happens."
Washington's lead hovered around 10 and then spiked to 16 with 5 minutes to go on - of all things - two made free throws by N'Diaye, typically a 50-percent foul shooter. He finished 4 for 6 from the line.
Washington, which started debuting redshirt freshman Jernard Jarreau in place of Kemp at forward, had 11 turnovers in the first half but just one after halftime.
"Jitters," Gaddy said of the shaky start.
Suggs scored five quick points in his first half in more than a year; he returned after redshirting last season because of a broken foot. The fifth-year senior may have pushed Wilcox for scoring honors had he not sat out the final 6:16 of the half with three fouls.
How pumped was Suggs to be playing his first real game at Alaska Airlines Arena since March 5, 2011, when he scored 14 points in the regular-season finale against USC?
"Yeah, I've been excited," Suggs said. "We've all been excited. ... It's finally good to get things rolling."
Washington next plays Tuesday night at home against Albany in the second game of the Basketball Hall of Fame Tipoff Tournament.
"We just need to keep building from this game," Gaddy said. "I'm confident in our abilities as a team. We have enough talent to be an NCAA Tournament team. We just have to make sure that we give 100 percent every day--including practices -- and going into the games."
INSIDE THE DAWGS: Romar said he started Jarreau because of the 6-11 forward's length to help N'Diaye on defense - and because he likes the energy and grit Desmond Simmons brings with Andrews as the first Huskies off the bench. ... Wilcox scored at least 20 points for the ninth time in his Huskies career. ... UW honored military members past and present with a Veterans Day video presentation on the arena's new giant video board by student-athletes during a first-half timeout. The highlight was football running back Bishop Sankey expressing his love and appreciation for his father and two uncles who are currently serving on active duty.

The Raconteur 'breaks the mold' for Barossa Cabernet; lush, rich and deep purple in colour with bright hues, the aroma leaps from the glass with violets and black berry and mocha notes. Not unlike a Rorschach Image, people will see different flavours across the palate; some will find ripe fleshy black currants and cassis, others will find crunchy sour cherries; but both complement the overall palate with intensity, weight, structure and texture. Along with lip-smacking tannins and fine oak nuances, the 2009 Raconteur can easily be enjoyed on immediate opening or be cellared for up to 10 years and is absolutely a must with roast lamb, char-grilled rib-eye and/or array of cheeses; whatever your choice, the Raconteur will always entertain and command attention!

BUCHAREST, Romania — Queen Marie believed that life is a glorious celebration of music and song. A century later, the country's capital city of Bucharest, once known as the Paris of the East, has lived up to the queen's motto by staging the most ambitious classical music festival Romania has ever seen.
The Salzburg festival in Austria and the annual summer music festival in Lucerne, Switzerland, are more established classical music events on the European circuit. But the George Enescu Festival, now in its 21st edition, has been quietly making a name for itself, aided by its artistic director, Ioan Holender, the Romanian-born musician who directed the Vienna State Opera from 1992 to 2010.
An estimated 4,500 people went to 150 concerts, and a record 120,000 tickets were sold for the September festival that drew important orchestras from Europe and the United States.
Enescu, who died in 1955, was a Romanian composer, violinist, and conductor who moved to Paris when the communists came to power. The festival always begins and ends with his compositions.
Some of the tickets sold out in hours. Concerts were even offered as part of the itinerary for a classical music-themed cruise on the Danube that also included concerts in Salzburg and Budapest for a pricey 7,000 euros ($9,450).
''I was struck by how prominent [the festival] is in Romanian cultural life,'' said Noah Bendix Balgley, concertmaster of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, which played on Sept. 2 and 3. He called the ''audience energy and response . . . incredible,'' noting that the hall was standing-room only.
Romanian math teacher Elena Ungureanu went to eight concerts. ''There was a very high standard of music and the soloists and orchestras were special,'' she said. ''There were lots of young people and many people were standing. I wouldn't have had the chance to see such great orchestras if they hadn't come here.''
One morning during the festival, violin and flute music floated across Revolution Square, a tranquil historic spot in the otherwise traffic-snarled capital, as tourists and passers-by crossed. It was a fitting musical footnote to the Wagner, Beethoven, and Mozart concerts that rung out from concerts at the nearby 19th-century Atheneum and the Palace Hall, where late dictator Nicolae Ceausescu presided over the Communist Party's final congress weeks before his downfall and execution in December 1989.
The festival, which started in 1958 and is held every other year, has grown larger and more attractive in recent years as the country has opened to tourism and foreign investment. Tickets for the 2015 event will go on sale in February of that year, and if this year's success is any indication, many concerts will be sold out months before they take place.

Robes in TSL
Heyya @ all.
What was you best robe, u had at the ending of Kotor 2: TSL? I got a dark jedi master robe after kicking sions ass to hell, but im a LS exile, so i didnt choose this one. so in had to finish the game with the ossus keeper robe. i didnt see a jedi knight robe or a LS jedi master robe either? my question: is THAT normal?!
Robes in a unmodded game are completely random (with the exception of the Ossus Keeper and a few other statically placed robes). In other words, there is no baseline for "normal". I hope that helps.
ok thx. so if u are a lucky one, u can get jolees robe and a normal master robe, for example?
Yes and no. The Jolee robe is excluded from the random loot generator (as are all of the "named" robes). The jedi master robe is on the list, and if you are lucky you might encounter one in the game.
If you're really eager to get some robes, you might want to consider installing Redhawke's Workbench Makes Robes Mod or making an equivalent of your own. I hope that helps.
lol i got like three jedi master robes in my last playthrough
I like Ossus Keeper Robes are the best anyway.
When light-sided, I always play with the Baran Do Sage Robes. Much more class than most of the other robes.

Google Play Services update adds multiplayer gaming support
Now you can play chess in a field with someone from Chesterfield
INTERNET GIANT Google is dipping its toes into the world of online gaming, having announced an update to its service infrastructure that will support a multiplayer mode.
Google Play Services, a background app common to all certified Android devices, runs as a hub to stock Google apps, providing developers with integration and cloud based interaction.
Detailed in a post at the Android Developer Blog, Google Play Services has been updated with support for turn based online multiplayer apps such as role-playing games (RPGs) as well as board games and quizzes. Up to eight players are supported with moves uploaded to Google Play servers and shared with other participants.
Google has also included a preview of the planned API for integrating Google Drive into apps. Although many apps do this already, the addition of an API is likely to increase the developer community's motivation to participate.
As mentioned elsewhere, Gmail will now offer suggestions to recipients from Google+ Circles, and battery life has been improved for those who choose to share their locations.
The API for advertising servers now includes support for Doubleclick, a feature that's popular with free app developers, which might in turn save battery life that is affected by polling an external server for advertisements.
This latest iteration might also include wider support for Chromecast in the form of an API. With many Allcast and Miracast devices premiering at CES, there will be pressure on Google to ensure that Android devices do not fall behind the trend for big screen mirroring.
All of these features are in the latest version of the Android Software Development Kit (SDK) that is available from Google. µ

U.S. businesses of the new millennium are starting smaller and staying smaller than in decades past. That's the conclusion of a study reported in the March issue of Monthly Labor Review.
The study found that business size, as measured by number of employees, usually declines during economic recessions and increases during expansion years resulting in an overall upward trend. However, unlike previous decades, that trend did not persist during the 2000s when overall size declined slightly. That shift was mostly explained by a decrease in "birth size" of businesses. For example, between 2000 and 2007, the average size of establishments that were less than one year old declined from 7.3 to 5.3 employees while the size of establishments that were seven or more years old showed a much smaller decline from 22.8 to 22.2.
The authors of the study speculate that this smaller and persistent establishment birth size may be a sign "that new establishments are entering the economy with new modes of production that place a greater emphasis on technology and a lesser emphasis on labor."1
The study has implications for worker health and safety. Comparisons of hazards in new businesses by business size would help society understand the implications of the decline in size. For example, one Canadian study found that businesses that survived five or more years had injury rates that were less than half the rates of businesses that survived only two years or less.2
Other pertinent research questions include:
- Does a shift to more reliance on technology in new businesses represent added risks (even temporarily) to the workers around that technology, especially when there are fewer of them?
- Are new establishments with fewer employees likely to experience higher levels of occupational stress than those with more employees?
- As average new establishment size declines, do we need new, easy-to-understand and inexpensive ways to assure safe and healthful working conditions such as the Total Worker Health approach and hazard control banding?
- Could health and safety information and services be made more broadly available to new small businesses by business-to-business organizations outside the public health arena (e.g., chambers of commerce, small business development centers, workers' compensation insurance companies, professional associations such as accountants, and local government operations such as public health departments)?
Next week, May 20-26, 2012, is National Small Business Week.3 As small businesses gather in Washington to celebrate their successes and discuss their challenges, it is an opportune time to think about how to protect their workers. If you have experience working with a new and small business on health and safety issues, we would welcome your perspective on important issues to consider as new businesses start and stay smaller.
For more information on safety and health in small businesses see the NIOSH Small Business Topic Page.

Ciaran Murphy. Rabbit, 2005, 28 x 24.5 cm, oil on canvas.
Studio 6A
April - September 2007
In his most recent bodies of work Ciaran Murphys work has taken the form of small-scale paintings on stretched paper and canvas using both acrylic and oil paints. The habitual collecting of imagery forms an important part of Murphys practice. Images spanning vastly different eras taken from art history, natural history, scientific enquiries, nature documentary stills and other more arbitrary sources serve as a starting point for his work. Murphys practice is predominantly an enquiry into what it means to perceive the world through the human eye. The finished paintings depict objects treated in isolation, tiny snippets of time and ambiguous contexts or sites that seem to hold out the vague anticipation of an event. As well as the individual paintings the grouping of the work becomes important; meaning and interpretation in individual work becomes both reliant and unhinged within the context of the larger group.
Process Room
Ciaran Murphy's work was shown in the Process Room, First Floor Galleries, from 25 September - 14 October 2007.

79' Gmc stepside project
$900 firm. Started much higher and need the cash to finish another project.
Not sure what I'm gonna do with this at this point. I'm gonna list it for sale with as much info as I have. Truck runs well and drives down the street while only shifting from 1st to 2nd. It leaks both oil and trans fluid.I think trans fluid is from trans lines and I assume the trans needs rebuilt. Believe it to be th350 trans and NP203 tcase. It is a full time 4x4. I have not gone through this truck very closely and was going to build / replace driveline components as I went. Does have new tie rod ends, ball joints and wires. All lights on exterior seem to work too. Floor is rusted through in typical spots but surprisingly, the rockers aren't gone. The step side bed and fenders are very solid. Most rust could still be patched or replaced pretty easy to. Who ever painted it, got over spray on the grill, blinkers and such. The metal portion of the dash has also been spray bombed. All glass is good, and only the driver side mirror is cracked. The bench seat has a few rips in driver side. The tires are weather checked, and for the most part have no good tread left. I've never owned a full time 4x4 version, and hear some clunks when backing up as you first apply the gas. Could be axle shafts engaging or front d shaft. When fixing the floor, I would repair/ replace the body mounts. These are all typical things with these old trucks as most of us know. This should be a great project but I'm still trying to finish the Blazer and this will just set me back. $1500.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) -- The Bowling Green City Commission is looking at some big decisions coming up in the future, one park could be changing and your primary election day ballot as well.
The commission spent more than an hour asking questions and addressing concerns over a new baseball facility.
Major league baseball player and Bowling Green native Corey Hart wants to pay for an 8,000 square foot building to be built in Kereiakas Park for little league players to have a place to practice.
Tuesday at the work session city commissioners asked questions gave comments and expressed concerns with those involved for more than an hour.
They spoke with city officials,Little League organizers and Hart's father.
Commissioners expressed concerns over cost who would be able to use it and more.
One commissioner feels very strongly this is an exclusive investment and isn't beneficial to everyone.
Those involved with little league say this is about helping all children.
"It is still an exclusive feel only for a few. That is my feeling today. That is my feelings before today," said Bowling Green City Commissioner Joe Denning.
"We're not trying to exclude people. If you have a relationship with the Little Leagues in Warren County, I would not exclude people from a Little League use of the facility," said Jay Lawless, Bowling Green East Little League President.
Commissioners also wanted to know if this would be open to the general public a portion of the year.
As far as the cost goes, there was no official figure given, but Hart would pay for the construction.
The city would be required to pay utilities and maintenance after that.
This was just a work session and no action was taken by commissioners.
They also looked at getting rid of primary elections for city offices which they can do now because of a new state law.
The next commission meeting is the first Tuesday in September.

Overall Experience
quick staff response to a problem
May 31, 2016
I am aware that this hotel is due for a upgrade - it was a bit outdated and 'worn out' but all of that will be taken care of by the renovation which I was informed will take place this fall. We had a cleanliness issue which was handled quickly and professionally by a very caring staff, so on our next trip to the area - we will be sure to stay here and witness the renovations. Great staff!
Last resort, disappointed
May 31, 2016
The property was mediocre at best, room, grounds and common areas. However the roll away beds were very soiled and smell of urine! The A/C did not work and no body was able to get a good nights sleep. I will never stay in this hotel again, but will remain open to the brand the next time.
May 30, 2016
Pulled the covers down to go to bed and there were several fleas on the mattress. Tried to contact the front desk but there was no one there. if you stay here wear a flea collar.
Below the IHG Standards
May 24, 2016
This hotel doesn't meet the quality of the IHG Brands that I have stayed in before. The staff was nice and personable, but that did not compensate for the lack cleanliness and comfort of this hotel. I regret staying at this hotel an not another property.

One of my biggest technical concerns about doing this project was making sure I could get all of my footage home.
I knew that sending all of the data through airport-security scanners could present some problems, and could ultimately ruin a week's worth of work.
So every night I backed up the day's raw video and still images to two separate hard-drives, as well as to my laptop–Which gave me three versions of each day's work.
(I had also planned to upload each day's media to my Dropbox every night–In essence taking it to "the cloud." But limited connectivity nixed that option.)
When packing for the return home, I placed one hard-drive and my laptop in a carry-on, and the other hard-drive in a checked bag.
I haven't had a chance to look at the checked-luggage hard-drive, but it looks like the carry-on's made it through just fine, with everything in-tact.
Here are some of pick-up shots from the week.
