Catching, passing, tackling maybe?
Posted 31 December 2012 - 03:05 PM
Hmm,! This is getting a bit like "the older I get the quicker they were". Some of the players mentioned were admittedly nippy but not fast, as GOR's original contention says. I can't really see Pachniuk, Baker, Godfrey etc. making a length of the filed dash successfully in pursued by a fast winger. But maybe my memory works the wrong way around and they all get slower as i get older?

I suppose GOR and myself are of a similar era.
I have always thought Mick Shoebottom was always the most gifted and talented stand off I ever saw.
McGuire is very similar in his play but in my opinion is not as creative or quick.
Unfortunately ,Shoebottom was one of the dirtiest players I ever saw.
I always found it ironic that his career was ended by a particularly nasty tackle from Colin Dixon
If that tackle happened with todays technology it would be a big hit on U tube

Wally Lewis was head and shoulders above the rest IMHO.
Who was the best (genuine) stand off that Dewsbury have had? History would say Vic Hey but there can't be many around now who can remember him playing.

Lewis Jones was the most all-round talented stand off I saw (with the RU kicking game developed in the Valleys). However I remember once standing next to a Leeds' fan who was complaining bitterly that he wouldn't tackle (he'd obviously never seen Danny Cipriani when making that assessment). In fact for many years I regarded him as the best-ever RL player. That changed when Ellery Hanley was in his prime. Nowadays, the guy I like to watch is Benjy Marshall, he just has that bit of "magic".
Thinking back about Dewsbury stand-offs, I remember a guy called Edwards who had genuine class. And, when he wanted to be, which unfortunately was not every week, Glynn Davies was "magic". Apart from those (and to a lesser degree Nigel Stephenson, who could have been a great stand off had he just had some pace off the mark) I have to say Dewsbury has rarely been blessed with a classy stand off. In more recent times the Agars, Chris Vasey and Davide Longo were pretty good, but were not near the "world class" category.
Just a few miles away there was a really classy stand off called Topliss whom no one has mentioned yet?
I can't remember seeing Vic Hey play, but my father always said he was the best (at that time) Dewsbury had ever had, although my understanding is that he was a tackle-buster rather than a tackle dodger.

Didn't Alan Hardisty virtually destroy the career of a very promising young Batley player with an awful challenge whilst he was in the process of scoring a try? Might be wrong, but remember my Grandad telling me a tale to that effect. Maybe an older Batley fan can enlighten me?

Forgotten all about davies - good player, and if I remember correctly he was a genuine taffy.

The Peace Corps' highest priority is maintaining the good health and safety of every Volunteer. Peace Corps medical programs emphasize the preventive, rather than the curative, approach to disease. Peace Corps in Niger maintains a clinic with two full-time medical officers, who take care of Volunteers' primary healthcare needs. Additional medical services, such as radiology and dentistry, are also available in Niger at local clinics. If you become seriously ill, you will be transported either to a city in the region where more services are available or to the United States.

Health Issues in Niger
With careful adherence to the preventive measures you will be taught during pre-service training, it is possible to remain healthy throughout your service in Niger. However, sickness is more common, and standards of hygiene and food handling are lower, than in the United States. Although there is a great deal you can do to minimize risks, Volunteers do suffer gastrointestinal disorders, upper respiratory infections, and other medical problems from time to time.
Helping You Stay Healthy
The Peace Corps will provide you with all the necessary inoculations, medications (including malaria prophylaxis), and information to stay healthy. Upon your arrival in Niger, you will receive a medical handbook. At the end of training, you will receive a medical kit with supplies to take care of mild illnesses and first-aid needs.
During pre-service training, you will have access to basic medical supplies through the medical office. However, during this time, you will be responsible for your own supply of prescription drugs and any other specific medical supplies you require, as we will not order these items during training. Please bring a three-month supply of any prescription drugs you use, since they may not be available here and it may take several months for shipments to arrive.
You will have physicals at midservice and at the end of your service. If you develop a serious medical problem during your service, the medical officers in Niger will consult with the Office of Medical Services in Washington, D.C. If it is determined that your condition cannot be cared for in Niger, you may be sent out of the country for further evaluation and care.
Maintaining Your Health
As a Volunteer, you must accept a certain amount of responsibility for your own health. Proper precautions will significantly reduce your risk of serious illness or injury. The old adage "An ounce of prevention …" becomes extremely important in areas where diagnostic and treatment facilities are not up to the standards of the United States. The most important of your responsibilities in Niger is to take preventive measures against disease.
Malaria, which is endemic in Niger, requires strict adherence to the prophylactic regime of mefloquine or doxycycline as well as the use of barrier methods such as mosquito nets and insect repellent to prevent mosquito bites. Failure to adhere strictly to the recommended malaria prophylaxis may result in administrative separation. Overexposure to the sun is also a risk, so it is important to wear sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. One must treat all minor wounds promptly to prevent them from becoming infected.
Many illnesses that afflict Volunteers worldwide are entirely preventable if proper food and water precautions are taken. These illnesses include gastrointestinal disorders such as food poisoning, parasitic infections, hepatitis A, dysentery, and typhoid. Your medical officers will discuss specific standards for water and food preparation for Niger during pre-service training.
Abstinence is the only certain choice for preventing infection with HIV and other STDs. You are taking risks if you choose to be sexually active. To lessen risk, use a condom every time you have sex. Whether your partner is a host country citizen, a fellow Volunteer, or anyone else, do not assume this person is free of HIV or other STDs. You will receive more information from the medical officers about this important issue.
Volunteers are expected to adhere to an effective means of birth control to prevent an unplanned pregnancy. The medical officers can help you decide on the most appropriate method to suit your individual needs. Contraceptive methods are available without charge from the medical officer.
It is critical to your health that you promptly report to the medical office or other designated facility for scheduled immunizations, and that you let the medical officers know immediately of significant illnesses and injuries.
Women's Health Information
Pregnancy is treated in the same manner as other Volunteer health conditions that require medical attention but also have programmatic ramifications. The Peace Corps is responsible for determining the medical risk and the availability of appropriate medical care for the Volunteer. Given the circumstances under which Volunteers live and work in Peace Corps countries, it is rare that Peace Corps medical and programmatic standards for continued service during pregnancy can be met.
Feminine hygiene products can be purchased in local markets, but they are expensive. The Peace Corps medical office in Niger supplies Volunteers with a limited selection of feminine hygiene products. You should bring a three-month supply of any products you will require during training. If you require a specific product for the rest of your stay, please bring a two-year supply with you or arrange to have supplies sent from home.
Your Peace Corps Medical Kit
The Peace Corps medical office provides Volunteers with a medical kit that contains basic items necessary to prevent and treat illnesses that may occur during service. Kit items can be periodically restocked at the medical office.
Medical Kit Contents
Ace bandages
Acetaminophen 325 mg (Tylenol)
Adhesive tape
American Red Cross First Aid & Safety Handbook
Antacid tablets (Tums)
Antibiotic ointment (Bacitracin/Neomycin/Polymycin B)
Antiseptic antimicrobial skin cleaner (Hibiclens)
Butterfly closures
Cepacol lozenges
Chlorine dropper bottle
Clomtimazole 1% antifungal cream
Cough lozenges
Dental floss
DiGel tablets
Diphenhydramine HCL 25 mg (Benadryl)
Hydrocortisone cream 1%
Ibuprofen 400 mg
Insect repellent
Lip balm
Malaria kit
Stool sample kit
Oral rehydration salts
Oral thermometer (Fahrenheit)
Pseudoephedrine HCL (Sudafed)
Sterile gauze pads
Tetrahydrozaline eyedrops (Visine)
White petroleum jelly
Zinc oxide
Before You Leave: A Medical Checklist
If there has been any change in your health—physical, mental, or dental—since you submitted your examination reports to the Peace Corps, you must immediately notify the Office of Medical Services. Failure to disclose new illnesses, injuries, allergies, or pregnancy can endanger your health and may jeopardize your eligibility to serve.
If your dental exam was done more than a year ago, or if your physical exam is more than two years old, contact the Office of Medical Services to find out whether you need to update your records. If your dentist or Peace Corps dental consultant has recommended that you undergo dental treatment or repair, you must complete that work and make sure your dentist sends requested confirmation reports or X-rays to the Office of Medical Services.
If you wish to avoid having duplicate vaccinations, you should contact your physician's office, obtain a copy of your immunization record, and take it to your pre-departure orientation. If you have any immunizations prior to Peace Corps service, the Peace Corps cannot reimburse you for the cost. The Peace Corps will provide all the immunizations necessary for your overseas assignment, both at your predeparture orientation and after you arrive in Niger. You will be given malaria prophylaxis tablets to take prior to departure.
Bring a three-month supply of any prescription or over-thecounter medication you use on a regular basis, including birth control pills. Although the Peace Corps cannot reimburse you for this three-month supply, we will order refills during your service as long as these medications are documented in your overseas health records.
While awaiting shipment—which can take several months— you will be dependent on your own medication supply. The Peace Corps will not pay for herbal or nonprescribed medications, such as St. John's wort, glucosamine, selenium, or antioxidant supplements. You will be given multivitamin and calcium tablets to supplement your diet.
You are encouraged to bring copies of medical prescriptions signed by your physician. This is not a requirement, but they might come in handy if you are questioned in transit about carrying a three-month supply of prescription drugs.
If you wear eyeglasses, bring two pairs with you—a pair and a spare. If a pair breaks, the Peace Corps will replace it, using the information your doctor in the United States provided on the eyeglasses form during your examination. We discourage you from using contact lenses during your service to reduce the risk of developing a serious infection or other eye disease. Niger does not have appropriate water and sanitation to support eye care with the use of contact lenses. Moreover, Niger has frequent dust storms that can pose problems for contact lens wearers. The Peace Corps will not supply or replace contact lenses or associated solutions, or replace or repair sunglasses, unless an ophthalmologist has recommended their use for a specific medical condition and the Peace Corps' Office of Medical Services has given approval.
If you are eligible for Medicare, are over 50 years of age, or have a health condition that may restrict your future participation in healthcare plans, you may wish to consult an insurance specialist about unique coverage needs before your departure. The Peace Corps will provide all necessary healthcare from the time you leave for your pre-departure orientation until you complete your service. When you finish, you will be entitled to the post-service healthcare benefits described in the Peace Corps Volunteer Handbook. You may wish to consider keeping an existing health plan in effect during your service if you think age or preexisting conditions might prevent you from reenrolling in your current plan when you return home.
Safety and Security—Our Partnership
Serving as a Volunteer overseas entails certain safety and security risks. Living and traveling in an unfamiliar environment, a limited understanding of the local language and culture, and the perception of being a wealthy American are some of the factors that can put a Volunteer at risk.
Property thefts and burglaries are not uncommon. Incidents of physical and sexual assault do occur, although almost all Volunteers complete their two years of service without serious personal safety problems. In addition, more than 84 percent of Volunteers surveyed in the 2004 Peace Corps Volunteer Survey say they would join the Peace Corps again.
The Peace Corps approaches safety and security as a partnership with you. This Welcome Book contains sections on: Living Conditions and Volunteer Lifestyle; Peace Corps Training; and Your Health Care and Safety. All of these sections include important safety and security information.
The Peace Corps makes every effort to give Volunteers the tools they need to function in the safest and most secure way possible, because working to maximize the safety and security of Volunteers is our highest priority. Not only do we provide you with training and tools to prepare for the unexpected, but we teach you to identify and manage the risks you may encounter.
Factors that Contribute to Volunteer Risk
There are several factors that can heighten a Volunteer's risk, many of which are within the Volunteer's control. Based on information gathered from incident reports worldwide in 2004, the following factors stand out as risk characteristics for assaults. Assaults consist of personal crimes committed against Volunteers, and do not include property crimes (such as vandalism or theft).
- Location: Most crimes occurred when Volunteers were in public areas (e.g., street, park, beach, public buildings). Specifically, 43 percent of assaults took place when Volunteers were away from their sites.
- Time of day: Assaults usually took place on the weekend during the evening between 5:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m.— with most assaults occurring around 1:00 a.m.
- Absence of others: Assaults ususally occurred when the Volunteer was unaccompanied. In 82 percent of the sexual assaults the Volunteer was unaccompannied and in 55 percent of physical assaults the Volunteer was unaccompanied.
- Relationship to assailant: In most assaults, the Volunteer did not know the assailant.
- Consumption of alcohol: Forty percent of all assaults involved alcohol consumption by Volunteers and/or assailants.
Summary Strategies to Reduce Risk
Before and during service, your training will address these areas of concern so that you can reduce the risks you face.
For example, here are some strategies Volunteers employ:
Strategies to reduce the risk/impact of theft:
- Know the environment and choose safe routes/times for travel
- Avoid high-crime areas per Peace Corps guidance
- Know the vocabulary to get help in an emergency
- Carry valuables in different pockets/places
- Carry a "dummy" wallet as a decoy Strategies to reduce the risk/impact of burglary:
- Live with a local family or on a family compound
- Put strong locks on doors and keep valuables in a lock box or trunk
- Leave irreplaceable objects at home in the U.S.
- Follow Peace Corps guidelines on maintaining home security
Strategies to reduce the risk/impact of assault:
- Make local friends
- Make sure your appearance is respectful of local customs; don't draw negative attention to yourself by wearing inappropriate clothing
- Get to know local officials, police, and neighbors
- Travel with someone whenever possible
- Avoid known high crime areas
- Limit alcohol consumption
Support from Staff
In March 2003, the Peace Corps created the Office of Safety and Security with its mission to "foster improved communication, coordination, oversight, and accountability of all Peace Corps' safety and security efforts." The new office is led by an Associate Director for Safety and Security who reports to the Peace Corps Director and includes the following divisions: Volunteer Safety and Overseas Security; Information and Personnel Security; Emergency Preparedness, Plans, Training and Exercise; and Crime Statistics and Analysis.
The major responsibilities of the Volunteer Safety and Overseas Security Division are to coordinate the office's overseas operations and direct the Peace Corps' safety and security officers who are located in various regions around the world that have Peace Corps programs. The safety and security officers conduct security assessments; review safety trainings; train trainers and managers; train Volunteer safety wardens, local guards, and staff; develop security incident response procedures; and provide crisis management support.
If a trainee or Volunteer is the victim of a safety incident, Peace Corps staff is prepared to provide support. All Peace Corps posts have procedures in place to respond to incidents of crime committed against Volunteers. The first priority for all posts in the aftermath of an incident is to ensure that the Volunteer is safe and receiving medical treatment as needed. After assuring the safety of the Volunteer, Peace Corps staff provide support by reassessing the Volunteer's work site and housing arrangements and making any adjustments, as needed. In some cases, the nature of the incident may necessitate a site or housing transfer. Peace Corps staff will also assist Volunteers with preserving their rights to pursue legal sanctions against the perpetrators of the crime. It is very important that Volunteers report incidents as they occur, not only to protect their peer Volunteers, but also to preserve the future right to prosecute. Should Volunteers decide later in the process that they want to proceed with the prosecution of their assailant, this option may no longer exist if the evidence of the event has not been preserved at the time of the incident.
The country-specific data chart below shows the incidence rates and the average number of incidents of the major types of safety incidents reported by Peace Corps Volunteers/ trainees in Niger as compared to all other Africa region programs as a whole, from 2000–2004. It is presented to you in a somewhat technical manner for statistical accuracy.
To fully appreciate the collected data below, an explanation of the graph is provided as follows:
The incidence rate for each type of crime is the number of crime events relative to the Volunteer/trainee population.
It is expressed on the chart as a ratio of crime to Volunteer and trainee years (or V/T years, which is a measure of 12 full months of V/T service) to allow for a statistically valid way to compare crime data across countries. An "incident" is a specific offense, per Peace Corps' classification of offenses, and may involve one or more Volunteer/trainee victims. For example, if two Volunteers are robbed at the same time and place, this is classified as one robbery incident.
The chart is separated into eight crime categories. These include vandalism (malicious defacement or damage of property); theft (taking without force or illegal entry); burglary (forcible entry of a residence); robbery (taking something by force); minor physical assault (attacking without a weapon with minor injuries); minor sexual assault (fondling, groping, etc.); aggravated assault (attacking with a weapon, and/or without a weapon when serious injury results); and rape (sexual intercourse without consent).
When anticipating Peace Corps Volunteer service, you should review all of the safety and security information provided to you, including the strategies to reduce risk. Throughout your training and Volunteer service, you will be expected to successfully complete all training competencies in a variety of areas including safety and security. Once in-country, use the tools and information shared with you to remain as safe and secure as possible.
What If You Become a Victim of a Violent Crime?
Few Peace Corps Volunteers are victims of violent crimes. The Peace Corps will give you information and training in how to be safe. But, just as in the U.S., crime happens, and Volunteers can become victims. When this happens, the investigative team of the Office of Inspector General is charged with helping pursue prosecution of those who perpetrate a violent crime against a Volunteer. If you become a victim of a violent crime, the decision to prosecute or not to prosecute is entirely yours, and one of the tasks of the OIG is to make sure that you are fully informed of your options and help you through the process and procedures involved in going forward with prosecution should you wish to do so. If you decide to prosecute, we are here to assist you in every way we can.
Crimes that occur overseas, of course, are investigated and prosecuted by local authorities in local courts. Our role is to coordinate the investigation and evidence collection with the regional security officers at the U.S. embassy, local police, and local prosecutors and others to ensure that your rights are protected to the fullest extent possible under the laws of the country. The Office of Inspector General investigative staff has extensive experience in criminal investigation, in working sensitively with victims, and as advocates for victims. We also, may, in certain limited circumstances, arrange for the retention of a local lawyer to assist the local public prosecutor in making the case against the individual who perpetrated the violent crime.
If you do become a victim of a violent crime, first, make sure you are in a safe place and with people you trust and second, contact the country director or the Peace Corps medical officer. Immediate reporting is important to the preservation of evidence and the chances of apprehending the suspect. Country directors and medical officers are required to report all violent crimes to the Inspector General and the regional security officers. This information is protected from unauthorized further disclosure by the Privacy Act. Reporting the crime also helps prevent your further victimization and protects your fellow Volunteers.
In conjunction with the regional security officer, the Office of Inspector General does a preliminary investigation of all violent crimes against Volunteers regardless of whether the crime has been reported to local authorities or of the decision you may ultimately make to prosecute. If you are a victim of a crime, our staff will work with you through final disposition of the case. The Office of Inspector General staff is available 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week. We may be contacted through our 24-hour violent crime hotline via telephone at 202.692.2911, or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Security Issues in Niger
When it comes to your safety and security in the Peace Corps, you have to be willing to adapt your behavior and lifestyle to minimize the potential for being a target of crime. As with anywhere in the world, crime does exist in Niger. You can reduce your risk by avoiding situations that make you feel uncomfortable and by taking precautions. Crime at the village or town level is less frequent than in the large cities; people know each other and generally will not steal from their neighbors. Tourist attractions in large towns, for instance, are favorite work sites for pickpockets. The following are safety concerns in Niger.
Motor vehicle accidents. "Bush taxis," the most common mode of motorized transportation in rural areas, are often overloaded, poorly maintained, and unsafe. They should be avoided to the extent possible. Volunteers should not travel on roads and highways at night because of the high risk of accidents.
Robbery/burglary. In urban markets, bus stations, and other areas where crowds are present, purse snatching and pickpocketing are common. Money and other valuables should be kept secure. While unusual, theft can occur even in rural villages. Houses should be kept locked and valuables should be kept in a locked trunk when you leave your village.
Violent crime. Though this is very rare in rural villages, it is a growing concern in larger cities, particularly in Niamey, the capital. There are certain high-crime areas (which will be pointed out to you) that must be avoided. In cities, Volunteers should travel in groups of two or more at night.
Staying Safe: Don't Be a Target for Crime
You must be prepared to take on a large responsibility for your own safety. Only you can make yourself less of a target, ensure that your house is secure, and develop relations in your community that will make you an unlikely victim of crime. In coming to Niger, do what you would do if you moved to a large city in the United States: Be cautious, check things out, ask questions, learn about your neighborhood, know where the more risky locations are, use common sense, and be aware. You can reduce your vulnerability to crime by integrating into your community, learning the local language, acting responsibly, and abiding by Peace Corps policies and procedures. Serving safely and effectively in Niger may require that you accept some restrictions on your current lifestyle.
Volunteers attract a lot of attention whereever they are in Niger, but they are likely to receive more negative attention in highly populated centers than at their sites, where "family," friends, and colleagues look out for them. While whistles and exclamations are fairly common on the street, this behavior can be reduced if you dress conservatively, avoid eye contact, and do not respond to unwanted attention. Keep your money out of sight by using an undergarment money pouch. Do not keep your money in outside pockets of backpacks, in coat pockets, or in fanny packs. You should always walk with a companion at night.
Preparing for the Unexpected: Safety Training and Volunteer Support in Niger
The Peace Corps' approach to safety is a five-pronged plan to help you stay safe during your two-year service and includes the following: information sharing, Volunteer training, site selection criteria, a detailed emergency action plan, and protocols for addressing safety and security incidents. Niger's in-country safety program is outlined below.
Peace Corps/Niger office will keep Volunteers informed of any issues that may impact Volunteer safety through information sharing. Regular updates will be offered in the newsletter and in memorandums from the country director. In the event of a critical situation or emergency, Volunteers will be contacted through the emergency communication network. Thus, it is imperative that Volunteers keep the Peace Corps/Niger office informed of their whereabouts so that they can be contacted in the event of an emergency. If a Volunteer seems to be missing, even for a short period of time, we must assume something is wrong and initiate extensive search procedures.
Volunteer training will include sessions on specific safety and security issues in Niger. This training will prepare you to adopt a culturally appropriate lifestyle and exercise judgment that promotes safety and reduces risk in your home, at work, and while traveling. Safety training is offered throughout your two-year service and is integrated into the language, cross-cultural, health, and other components of training.
Certain site selection criteria are used to determine safe housing for Volunteers before their arrival. The Peace Corps staff works closely with host communities and counterpart agencies to help prepare them for a Volunteer's arrival and to establish expectations of their respective roles in supporting the Volunteer. Each site is inspected before the Volunteer's arrival to ensure placement in appropriate, safe, and secure housing and work sites. Site selection is based in part on any relevant site history; access to medical, banking, postal, and other essential services; availability of communications, transportation, and markets; different housing options and living arrangements; and other Volunteer support needs.
You will also learn about Peace Corps/Niger's detailed emergency action plan, which is implemented in the event of civil or political unrest or a natural disaster. When you arrive at your site, you will complete and submit a site locator form with your address, contact information, and a map to your house. If there is a security threat, Volunteers in Niger will gather at predetermined locations until the situation is resolved or the Peace Corps decides to evacuate.
Finally, Volunteers must immediately report any security incident to the Peace Corps office. The Peace Corps has established protocols for addressing safety and security incidents in a timely and appropriate manner, and it collects and evaluates safety and security data to track trends and develop strategies to minimize risks to future Volunteers.

City: Burnt Pioneer Trail house must be made safe
May 8, 2013
Peter Darvas, the owner of the Pioneer Trail house that burned in September, has until the end of the month to make the structure safe before the city forces compliance, according to building officials.
South Lake Tahoe Building Official Dave Walker met with a structural engineer this week to walk through 3120 Pioneer Trail and discuss safety issues. While Walker won't have the written report until Monday, he said portions of the roof with definitely have to come down. He estimated about a third of the building could be salvaged.
If Darvas doesn't remove dangerous portions of the structure, Walker said the city will hire a licensed contractor to demolish the house and send the bill to Darvas.
The insurance company advised Darvas to tear down the building since restoration could cost three times as much as building a new house, according to Walker.
"I'm trying to get that building demolished … He wants to leave his legacy and that's fine, but what remains is not safe. My main concern is life and safety," Walker said. "It's something that has to be dealt with because of the safety issue. We have to act."
Darvas could not be reached for comment and his voicemail inbox was full.
The September fire also gutted the adjacent house at 3568 April Drive. General Contractor John Lowe said his crew demolished the structure for $10,000 shortly after the fire and he anticipates the owner will have a new house within five to six months. The cost to rebuild is much cheaper than trying to restore a burnt building, according to Lowe.
"It's an eyesore. I don't know what to do about it," Lowe said, gesturing toward 3120 Pioneer Trail.
The Sept. 18 fire destroyed large potions of 3120 Pioneer Trail and was caused by an antique wood-burning stove Darvas kept in his studio. The watercolor artist was transported to Barton Memorial Hospital after suffering severe burns to his hands and face trying to extinguish the flames with a garden hose.

Still Deciding on a Major?
You are not alone...
- At SLU, over 700 students are currently deciding on an academic major.
- National research indicates that three out of four college students express uncertainty about their academic major.
- More than one-half of all college students change their major at least twice before they graduate.
Making a major and career decision involves some self-exploration
- What are your interests, abilities, and values?
- What academic subjects do you enjoy?
- What are you involved in during your free time?
At Saint Louis University, we strive to help students find their path by discovering their passion and purpose.
Comments from students that have made an educated academic major decision:
- "It was good to research and explore many areas to broaden my options. "
- "I was glad I took the time to find out the education needed for particular careers of interest. "
- "I found it really helpful to talk with a professional in a field in which I was interested."

This almost A list female tweener has no issues having sex with her boyfriend despite the fact that she is still well on the side of being a minor and he is not
. She says that she can do what she wants and because who she is nothing will happen.
I am going to throw out Arielle Winter and Bella Thorne.
But I am leaning more towards Arielle because A. We know her bf is over 18 and B. she has already put up a big stink about wanting to be able to fuck her bf whenever she wants, that is why she tried to emancipate herself from her mom.
In which case I ask, why is this a blind? Arielle has made it pretty clear what she is doing with that guy.ReplyCancel
Bella Thorne?ReplyCancel
Teen girls mature faster than boys…everyone knows this, right? My boyfriend when I was 14 was 18 and we were equal. I just hope she's protecting herself.ReplyCancel
Agree @ReesesReplyCancel
My 15 year old Grandma married my 21 year old Grandfather. Of course she had her first of eight children 5 months later. 66 years later they are still going strong. 🙂ReplyCancel
I had no clue who Arielle Winter was before all the TMZ articles and just don't believe she's anywhere near A list. C+ or B- maybe?
I was thinking the person has to be more along the lines of Elle Fanning, or Hailee Steinfeld, or Kiernan Shipka, etc. But I often am totally off in understanding the grading system.ReplyCancel
No way is a 14 year old of mine dating an 18 year old. My daughter was 15 and I found some texts from a 20 year old guy down the street trying to get her to come over after I went to bed. He got a late night visit, but not the one he wanted. Pretty sure he will never forget, though.ReplyCancel
I don't know enough about Tweeners to make a guess, but I agree, I had sex when I wasn't of age…I also just hope she is smart about it and using protection. And, no, nothing will happen to her, but if it is found out something might happen to the boy.. Statutory Rape anyone??
Back in the good ol' days it was normal and expected of a girl to get pregnant at 14 or 15.. Funny how things change…ReplyCancel
Kiernan is 13 so I hope this isn't her.
Doesn't tweener mean someone appealing/big in the tween crowd? Hailee is young but she is more in the award crows versus Disney.
@Reeses I agree about girls, my issue is with the boys. First of all, Creepy McCreeperson why are you dating a 14 year old? Can't you find someone your own age? Your relationship sounds like it was a good one, but I just question the incentives behind some of these guys dating young girls.ReplyCancel
Probably attending a Dina & Michael Lohan seminar on "Parenting: How To Get Rich and Famous Without Really Trying!"ReplyCancel
JSierra and Sarah
ITA…there is only one incentive.
I don't have a daughter, but if 18 years from now my now 2 year old son wanted to date a 14 or 15 year old girl…uh uh.
However…most 15 year old girls these days don't look or behave like 15 year old girls. :/
@ Icecat, my mother in law always tells me that her mother and sister thought there was something wrong with her because she wasn't married or pregnant until she was 19, lol. They were from W.Va and her mom had 3 kids by the time she was that age and her husband was 10 years older. Pretty gross to me, but sounds like it was common then.ReplyCancel
I love how everyone is clutching their pearls over sex at 13 or 14 – this has been going on for a long time and younger girls always go for the older guys! This is a non story!!
I mean just upthread there was the reveal of Miley at 15 and a poster said "don't think this was her first" #nothingnewhereReplyCancel
In my mind guys are not thinking of age when their other brain is at work….ReplyCancel
Actually it is still illegal depending on their ages and the laws in that state.
@ Sarah good for you! I am lucky to have two boys… I only have to worry about two penis's not thousands!lol
BTW I totally got busted by a gf's mom in high school sneaking in her window at night but we were 17/16 WAY back then. Granted this was a totally different situation but a mothers scolding sure did make me think twice after that.ReplyCancel
@Samantha: Sorry. My source was this article from the always reliable Daily Mail. In the photo caption, it says "There is a four-year age gap between Bella and Tristan, 18." Then further down the page it says he is 15. SMH.
Its unrealistic to think a parent (s) can know what one of their kids are doing 24/7.
I'm not directing this at you, I just happen to see this comment very very often.ReplyCancel
Bella Thorne's boyfriend is in high school.ReplyCancel
@auntliddy, the parents moral compass is pointing at enriching the family through child labor, so I would say no to your question.
I would say from the arrogance noted in the girl's remarks that it may be Ariel Winter. She seems to think that getting emancipated is some sort of get out of jail free card.ReplyCancel
@MAC – Yeah, my mom and her sisters all got pregnant when they were 17/18, and that was back in the 70s.
I was actually referring more to the 1920s era 🙂
Here in good old Salt Lake (Mormonville) you are totally expected to get married and start a family in your early early 20s.. Just crazy to me. I think that is WAY to young to get married let alone have children, but to each their own, right?ReplyCancel

Postcards of Sydney
Today I was sorting through some family photos and came across the following two postcards that I must have bought at some time and thought I would share:
The first one is of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, in April 1930. On the Back of the post card it says:
"This was the great era of the Sydney Harbour Ferries. The multidude of steam ferries at berth and crisscrossing the harbour linked the north shore with the city. The Harbour Bridge seen five months from the closing of it's arch was still two years from completion'.
The second one is of the Pyrmont Bridge Sydney, dated 1902. On the back of the post card, is reads:
"Looking east across Darling Harbour to the city. Clearly the traffic jam is not a modern phenonemon!".

I apologize in advance for such a lengthy post.
If you make to the end without becoming too bored you?ll understand the need for this novella?
First off?I have been a member here for 16 months...I am not a n00b.
I did post at ASF as well and I am new to that site.
Too many cycles to count anymore.
Plenty of AAS experience.
I don?t run more than two cycles/year but I train year round if not laid up (as I?ve been recently).
I am looking for some insight, suggestions and/or opinions.
I am no stranger to brewing my own gear. Been doing it for years.
I am a physicist (among other things), not a chemist but I do understand chemical properties.
I lecture at the local college from time to time and I am able to utilize the lab and equipment in the clean room including the autoclave and pretty much everything else I need for sterilization and proper preparation for pharm-quality gear.
I am not trying to start an debate about what is pharm-quality.
I have access to a mass spec which I get to use from time to time.
[I have more than enough of my own compounds to test so I can?t test yours for you.
Someone, from another board a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, accused me of ?swapping? his hormone powder for the garbage he actually sent me to test.
He would rather have believed that I ripped him off than the unknown Chinese person who he sent money to in China.
I just don?t test for other people anymore?no offense, please]
All that said?some of it off my topic to be sure?I will get on with my issue.
I recently brewed a batch of Test E at 400mg/ml. I have never done that high a concentration before so in that respect it was a first. I used BA/BB at 2%/18% the remaining 80% was powder and GSO.
I did not use EO, MCT Oil, Guaicol or anything else.
The powder went into solution and has stayed, without crashing.
There is no recrystallization. I have not refrigerated it to see if it crashes.
The powder was from a reliable source who has never failed to provide me with nothing but the best raws. The mass spec was identical to the spectrum shown on Wikipedia for Test E?bottom line?nothing wrong with the powder.
I double filter my GSO by itself and my BA/BB (which I mix at 20ml/180ml respectively so I can just use 20ml of mixed BA/BB for each 100ml batch of gear).
I know adding the powder makes the sterile oil and solvents unsterile again.
After I brew the gear, in a water bath at low temp which takes a while, I let it cool.
I then filter it into a sterile media bottle. I use Whatman Klari-Flex .22um filters.
I then filter it again with a new filter.
I draw it out of the sterile media bottle through a sterile silicone septum with a sterile syringe.
One 10ml syringe for each vial.
I put it into sterile vials in a sterile environment while wearing sterile surgical (not exam) gloves.
I cap the vials with sterile stoppers and sterile seals using a sterile Kebby crimper.
My gear is no doubt sterile.
The reason for this long post is to rule out the obvious and seek serious insight on the following issues and questions.
I am having issues with PIP and lumping in glutes.
I rub it for 5-6 minutes after injection.
No bruising or redness.
None of the effects you?d expect from unsterile solution.
No swelling, just a lump that hurts.
It goes away in a couple days.
I use 23g 1? or 25g 1.5??no difference.
I haven?t tried pinning anywhere else because the thought of a lump in a quad just makes me shudder.
My thoughts are that this is because of the concentration.
What are your thoughts?
Maybe I should have mixed in some different oil/solvent?
Anyone else ever brew 400mg/ml?
If so, What was your end result with pinning?
I am including some pictures so you can see there is nothing ?dirty? in the vial.
It filtered perfectly as you can see.
I am thinking of thinning down to 200 or 250mg/ml.
What are your thoughts on that?
The acne and testicular atrophy tell me my brew is spot on.
I could mass spec it again.
If you all don?t want me to just go away and STFU by now, please give me some insight from the massive wealth of experience accumulated among the members of this board.
If you see this same/similar post on another forum, please don?t be offended.
Looking for as much input as I can gather.

Western NY Man Charged Under Leandra's Law
A Buffalo-area man faces charges for allegedly driving with a 10 year old child in the car when his blood alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit.
State police say they pulled over 42 year old Mark Dlugolinski of Grand Island, N.Y. for driving recklessly on Route 11 in the town of Dekalb.
He was charged under what's called Leandra's Law because of the underage passenger. He faces one count of aggravated driving while intoxicated for that and another for driving with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .18 percent or more.
Troopers say his BAC was .23 percent.
He was also charged with failure to jeep right, moving from a lane unsafely and consuming alcohol in a motor vehicle.
Dlugolinski was arraigned in Fowler town court and sent to St. Lawrence County jail on $3,000 bail.

A rich starry sky fills the view from an ancient gas-giant planet in the core of the globular star cluster M4, as imagined in this artist's concept. The 13-billion-year-old planet orbits a helium white-dwarf star and the millisecond pulsar B1620-26, seen at lower left. The globular cluster is deficient in heavier elements for making planets, so the existence of such a world implies that planet formation may have been quite efficient and common in the early universe.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Poetry Friday ~ Water Sings Blue: Ocean Poems by Kate Coombs, illustrated by Meilo So,Friday, June 14th, 2013
It's Poetry Friday and in honor of the recent launch of Project Splash! Asia (an annotated bibliography of water-themed stories from and about Asia), I thought that today it would be appropriate to highlight a poetry book about water! Here's our review of Water Sings Blue: Ocean Poems written by Kate Coombs and illustrated by Meilo So (Chronicle Books, 2012). For those of us with summer holidays just around the corner Water Sings Blue is the perfect picture book to bring on a trip to the beach. If your young readers can't wait for a trip to the beach, this book will take them there immediately in their imagination! Enjoy!
Kate Coombs, illustrated by Meilo So,
Water Sings Blue: Ocean Poems
Chronicle Books, 2012.
Ages 4-11
The finely tuned observation in both the poetry and illustrations of Water Sings Blue draws young readers into that world of the shoreline where time just seems to disappear and exploration offers up endless possibilities for discovery. Kate Coombs' poems are satisfyingly memorable, with their cohesive patterns of meter and rhyme that, nevertheless, contain plenty of surprises – like, for example, the alliteration and internal rhyming at the end of "Sand's Story", in which mighty rocks have turned to sand:
Now we grind and we grumble,
humbled and grave,
at the touch of our breaker
and maker, the wave.
… Not to mention the witty pun on "breaker": and the gentle wit of Coomb's verse also lights the imagination throughout this collection.
Turning the pages, readers encounter a vast array of sea characters, starting in the air with the seagull; then listening to "What the Waves Say" before diving down to meet the creatures of the deep: like the shy octopus author (think ink…), or the beautiful but self-absorbed fish whose tail and fins act as brushes, and who concludes his/her soliloquy with the wonderfully evocative: "I'm a water artist. / You wouldn't understand." As well as creatures like sharks and jellyfish, there are poems about fascinating, less well-known fish – "Oarfish", "Gulper Eel" and "Nudibranch": they could become a follow-up project by themselves! There's also a deep-sea shipwreck, and back on the sea shore, a gnarled "Old Driftwood" telling stories "to all the attentive / astonished twigs", and a property agent hermit crab with a salesman's patter.
Bringing all the poems together in a visual feast are Meilo So's gorgeous watercolors. As well as her depiction of jewel-colored corals and waves in every shade of blue imaginable, her illustrations are clearly also influenced by direct observation of the shoreline around her Shetland Isle home, from fishermen's cottages to diving gannets.
Just like in real beachcombing, young readers will lose track of time as they pore over So's seashores for what they can find.
Do read our recent interview with the illustrator of Water Sings Blue, Meilo So, here and see our gallery of her work here.

Action - Semi-Auto
Action Type - Double Action
Caliber - .22 LR
Barrel Length - 3.42"
Weight - 1.0 Lb.
The Walther P22 is a user-friendly adaptation of the larger P99 with the same look and feel, but three quarters of the size of its big brother. Unleashing the first round or .22 LR ammunition is easy with only about 12 pounds of pressure required to activate the double action and emptying the magazine is even easier with single action requiring just under 5 pounds of pressure. Decocking the Walther P22 after activating single action mode can be done by turning on the ambidextrous, slide-mounted safety with your thumb, preventing the hammer from firing the round when the trigger is pulled to release the hammer. Magazine ejection is triggered by an ambidextrous lever located behind and below the trigger. This pistol features adjustable 3-dot sights, an ambidextrous thumb safety, and a 10-round magazine and comes with the original factory hard case. Its grips, metal, and bore are all in very good condition.

Hello All,
I am back for more encouragement and solace from a wonderful group of moms and ladies. (Sniffle). I am the mother of a baby boy, seven months old on January 1st. He was exclusively breastfed until his six-month birthday, at which time we started the baby-led weaning/feeding. When he was five months old he began teething his bottom incisors, and that is when the trouble began! He was waking up twice in the night for feedings up until that point. When he started teething, he was waking almost every hour for a couple of weeks, then dropped to three or four times a night. Everyone kept telling me it would get better when we started solid foods. I waited...and waited....and waited...
At six months, we started solids- nothing too serious, avocado, sweet potato, pear.. He really liked it and took to it with gusto. He has eaten like a champ. I had to take a week off about sixteen days into it because he wasn't pooping, and was waking up at night gassy and cranky and uncomfortable. He has eaten again the last few days and seems to be more regular. He eats once with me in the morning and then all breast milk for the rest of the day/night. He nurses right before eating, but still eats a decent amount. His sleep has gotten HORRIBLE. He not only still wakes up at least three times to nurse, but either wakes an hour after going to bed and won't go back to sleep without screaming (in my arms or not), or he won't let me lay him down without waking up and screaming until I pick him up again. He will be sound asleep and as soon as I lay him down, he looks up at me and smiles, then starts screaming if I don't pick him up again. So for the last few night I have picked him up, gotten him to sleep again, and then fed him when he wakes every 2-3 hours for feedings. The problem is that I am working and I am tired, and I am cranky, and I really do not know how much longer I can do this without falling apart. I don't want to let him "cry it out" but I need to sleep so much! This is the hardest thing I have ever done, and I do not know what to do! I want to hug him and love him until he sleeps. I want to feed him if he is hungry, but I am becoming a shell of my former self for lack of proper sleep! Any thoughts would be SO appreciated!
Hugs to you all for having survived this craziness!

On this day (May 20) in 1774, the British Parliament passed the Quebec Act, which the American colonists regarded as one of the coercive acts that the Lord North ministry had introduced and Parliament had overwhelmingly passed to punish the rebellious Massachusetts colonists for their Dec. 16, 1773, Boston Tea Party.
During the Boston Tea Party, 342 chests of East India Company tea were dumped into Boston's harbor by thinly disguised "Mohawk Indians." Word of this "Tea Party" had reached London in late January 1774.
To King George III and the Lord North ministry, this blatant destruction of tea was the last straw. Tired of repeatedly backing down in the face of concerted, increasingly destructive, and even violent colonial opposition to their parliamentary acts and royal proclamations – especially the April 5, 1764, Sugar Act; March 22, 1765, Stamp Act; March 18, 1766, Declaratory Act; June 29, 1767, Townshend Acts; March 5, 1770, Boston Massacre; and May 10, 1773 Tea Act – Lord North introduced in Parliament a series of measures known collectively as the Coercive Acts.
Dubbed the "Intolerable Acts" by the colonists, these acts were passed to remind the rebellious colonists (especially in Massachusetts) of their proper subservient position within the British Empire and particularly to punish Boston for its intransigence and riotous behavior.
These acts – passed overwhelmingly between March 31 and May 20, 1774 – were: 1. Boston Port Act, which closed the port of Boston until such time as the destroyed East India Company tea had been paid for; 2. Administration of Justice Act, which authorized transfer of trials involving British officials to be held in England; and 3. Massachusetts Government Act, which virtually revoked the Massachusetts Charter by abolishing the Boston town meetings, authorizing the royally-appointed colonial governor to, in essence, appoint all colonial judges, and empowering sheriffs to choose juries rather than having them elected, as was previously done, by the people.
Although not intended, by the British, to be one of the "Intolerable" Coercive Acts, the Quebec Act, perceived, however, by many colonials, to be another coercive act designed to "punish" Boston and Massachusetts, greatly alarmed Samuel Adams, John Hancock, and their Massachusetts "Patriot" colleagues.
The Quebec Act actually was designed and passed to check and foil the expansionist aspirations of many prominent Virginians, such as George Washington, Richard Henry Lee, George Mason and Peyton Randolph – men who were involved in various speculative land companies in the rich Ohio River valley. By extending Canada's boundaries to include lands southward to the Ohio River (lands acquired from France in the 1763 Treaty of Paris, but claimed by Virginia, Connecticut and Massachusetts), the act greatly galvanized opposition to British politics in Virginia especially, and explains why Virginia would join Massachusetts in leading the Patriot movement toward war and independence.
This act specifically thwarted the aspirations and plans of many future American founding fathers by calling into question or even nullifying west land claims (especially those of prominent Virginians) in the Ohio River valley. The Quebec Act also granted religious freedom and tax support to Canadian Roman Catholics – a provision of the act which revived long-held colonial hostility, in the Protestant English colonies, to Catholicism.
The Quebec Act, more than any other single parliamentary act – with the possible exception of the hated Stamp Act of 1765 – aroused opposition to British policies, especially in Massachusetts and Virginia.
The opposition in these two pivotal colonies led directly to the calling of the revolutionary First Continental Congress in late 1774.

So, is the trick to the "air drying", low pressure, angle, or what?
I guess that is an important point. First, yellow cars do look good with black vinyl. Second, vinyl is a 60s and 70s look.

text: Just thought I would revisit this thread because even though this season is young, the Knicks are near tops in the league in 3 point % as well as team defense. The Melo-haters favorite phrase "Melo-Iso-ball" hasn't been uttered this season as this team moves the ball around and finds open shots better than any of our teams coached by "Damnphony." And With "Linsanity" gone, turnovers are way down and our KNICKS offense is the most EFFICIENT in the league. Crazy 8's: We love your game threads, but leave the X and O's to more qualified posters.

Presidential inaugurations were more of a staid affair back in the day. Black was a popular color of choice among first ladies, as seen here by Edith White Bolling Galt Wilson, the second wife of President Woodrow Wilson, on the way to his second inauguration in March 1917.
Fashion got a little more fun in the 1920s, when Grace Coolidge wore feathers AND fur to the inauguration of her husband, President Calvin Coolidge, in January 1925.
Bedecked in white, a solemn Ladybird Johnson looks on as her husband, Lyndon Johnson, is sworn in as president aboard Air Force One in Dallas following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
It was harder to tell what first ladies were wearing on Inauguration Day in the days of black and white photography, but Ladybird Johnson's hat here looks fun. She watches as her husband, Lyndon Johnson, is sworn in for a second term on Jan. 20, 1965.
Pat Nixon looked jaunty in her red coat and black fur cap watching her husband Richard Nixon be sworn in as the country's 37th president in January 1969.
Pat Nixon also wore fur for her husband's second inauguration in January 1973, sporting a teal-colored coat with fur trim.
Betty Ford accented her white and baby blue suit with a large white flower in this family picture taken the day of Gerald Ford's inauguration in August 1974.
Rosalyn Carter was pretty in teal while walking Pennsylvania Avenue with President Jimmy Carter following his inauguration in January 1977.

- Abstract
- Laboratory experiments were performed to study the dynamics of three-dimensional mechanically generated waves propagating over an oblique current in partial opposition. The flow velocity varied along the mean wave direction of propagation with an increasing trend between the wave-maker and the centre of the tank. Tests with regular wave packets traversing the area of positive current gradient showed that the concurrent increase of wave steepness triggered modulational instability on otherwise stable wave trains and hence induced the development of very large amplitude waves. In random directional wave fields, the presence of the oblique current resulted in a weak reinforcement of wave instability with a subsequent increase of the probability of occurrence of extreme events. This seems to partially compensate the suppression of strongly non-Gaussian properties due to directional energy distribution.

so i know my lo is having a growth spurt right now cause he's been eating a bit more lately. he usually eats 5 ounces of EBM 3 times a day while i'm gone. the past couple of days he's been eating 4 times instead of 3. he's also added in an extra nursing session in the evening. that's not the problem. today i pick him up from the babysitter and she says how hungry he's been all day and that she fed him 6-8 ounces each time he ate, and i think he ate 4 times. That is just way too much in my opinion. then she has the nerve to ask me if i'm going to feed him cereal, and i say no, i'm going to wait until he's 6 months. and she says that's a really long time. i told her not to feed him more then 6 ounces each time and she's like ok, but i don't want to feed him every hour. i said he can go at leats 2 hours. he normally would go 2 1/2 to 3. she says how do you know when he's hungry. i say, when he cries. and then i'm thinking how do you know when he's hungry and when to feed him.
then i call my MIL to tell her that I think he was overfed today. (My MIL watches him 3 times week) and she says, well maybe you should give him cereal. he'll sleep through the night then. oh, that made me even more mad! then she says how long are you going to BF. I say for a year, and she's like OMG. You know you have to watch everything you eat and the sugars, etc. At least you know what you're getting in the formula. WTH????
Oh, I am so livid now. People that have never breastfed need to keep their opinions to themselves. As if I don't know how to parent my child. For goodness sakes he's 17 pounds and 4 months old. I think he's getting the nutrition he needs.
I'm really thinking about telling the babysitter how upset she made me feel and that i know what's best for my kid. what do you all think?
