Events at Rangiora this week have made the Canterbury-Wellington Plunket Shield clash the most intriguing at this early stage of the domestic season.
First off, Dean Brownlie hit 133 for Canterbury, his second hundred in the space of four first-class innings this season, after 113 against Otago. Remember, fresh in the mind is New Zealand's latest horror batting collapse, in the first test against Sri Lanka in Galle.
Brownlie was left out of the trips to India and Sri Lanka after his form tailed off in the West Indies.
Next up is South Africa. Brownlie is most at home on bouncy pitches, which can be traced back to his years learning the game in Perth.
No slow, docile burnson burners out there and when Australia looked to put New Zealand through the wringer late last year, it was Brownlie, in his first series, and armed with cross-bat skills necessary when the ball is bouncing, who stood up best.
Expect a recall for South Africa for a man with a first-class batting average of 43.8.
Of just as much interest was the performance of Mark Gillespie. The stocky Wellington new ball bowler, among the more enigmatic of New Zealand cricketers in the last decade, took four for 74 in Canterbury's first innings but took some tap in the second as Canterbury chased down 303 to win yesterday with six wickets to spare.
Although New Zealand's fast-medium cupboard look to be in reasonable shape - and certainly better than the batting group - that's no reason to sit back content that all is well.
Gillespie has potentially another three first-class games to prove his fitness and get himself a place in the test squad. There's no guarantees but it's an intriguing prospect.
Wellington visit Auckland next Monday, host Central Districts on December 10 and Northern Districts a week later. The test leg of the South African trip starts in Cape Town on January 2, followed by the second test at Port Elizabeth from January 11.
The 33-year-old has had a wretched run with injuries, most recently a severe ankle sprain which didn't respond to treatment as quickly as hoped. Back injuries plagued him a few seasons back. January, 2009, especially, was a dark time.
"It got to the point where I thought 'Stuff it, I'm just going to give it a crack," he said. Twice his thigh "fell apart".
Last summer, after winning his test recall, with considerable success, he remembered five doctors telling him to pack cricket in.
One suggested he try commentary, which would have been interesting given a sometimes flinty view of the media.
It says something for his attitude that he persevered.
But one thing is abundantly clear about Gillespie: yes, he can be pricy at times, but he gets good batsmen out. Always has. His debut against Otago in 2000 was marked by a five-wicket bag.
He has played just five tests, and apart from a disappointing outing against the West Indies at Dunedin in 2008, when not fully fit, has taken at least five wickets in each match.
When he was recalled for the second test against South Africa in Hamilton last season he breathed fresh life into the attack.
Despite a frame which would argue against an ability to produce genuine pace, Gillespie hurried the batsmen, made life uncomfortable and was the key figure as the tourists' were reduced to 185 for eight - matching New Zealand's first innings total - only to get away to 253 due to some collectively brainless bowling to tailenders.
Lamentable batting again produced the usual result the following day and that decided the outcome of the series.
Gillespie grabbed six more wickets in Wellington the next week.
He is an out-and-out trier and provided a point of difference among a crop of 135kph bowlers.
He is injury-prone. Trace that back to a mix of gut-busting determination, allied to that physique, and lack of luck.
But when he's on, he is as effective as anyone in New Zealand, in his distinctive way. If you're looking for a tight-fisted operator tying up an end, he's not your man.
Fast-medium bowlers used to be placed in one of two categories, stock and shock.
Stock men did the donkey work, pulling the unfashionable shifts, often into the breeze; shock was the term for the quick man used in short, sharp bursts, more attack-minded.
That's Gillespie. Watch his form in the next month. South Africa is beckoning.

Hello all. I am looking into where I should get bees. I want to go treatment free from the start. I am near dadant and they seem to be a quite reputable bee outfit. I plan to go visit them but they are a few hours away so not something I can do without a little planning. But I digress...
I am was wondering what types of bees were recommended for no treatment and if people had good luck with them. Originally my plan had been to simple try a trap out in my ash tree, or hope for a swarm. Is this a good idea?
It seems the more I read the more I see how frequent a loss of a hive is. Is it wise to keep a certain number of hives to help mitigate hive loss?

This quite nifty interactive graphic from the UK Guardian website makes a pretty picture out of three-plus distressing years in the Eurozone.
The graphic designers have yet to incorporate the latest piece of bad news to emanate out of the increasingly fragmented European Union: an all-time high unemployment rate of 12.5 per cent.
(The Guardian also includes this heated tit-for-tat argument between Munich University economics professor, Hans-Werner Sinn, and hedge fund godfather, George Soros, about how to solve the Euro crisis.)
But out of the horrible mess, investment opportunities no doubt pop up here and there if you know where to look. And there are some New Zealanders poking around there, or on behalf of investors here.
The newly-restructured PGC, for example, under the guidance of chief, George Kerr, is currently trawling the Eurozone for distressed debt bargains.
The New Zealand Superannuation Fund (NZS) has recently taken an interest in the same sector with the appointment of Sankaty Advisors to a new European distressed credit mandate.
According to the latest list of NZS managers Sankaty, a subsidiary of Bain Capital the firm founded by former US presidential hopeful, Mitt Romney, was the fund's first sign-on for 2013 bringing the total number of underlying managers to 45.
The growing sophistication of NZS investments has not gone unnoticed by the government. In his annual "letter of expectations" to the NZS and other Crown Financial Institutions (CFIs), Finance Minister Bill English, asked for more detailed ministerial access to the funds' investment decision-making process.
"The CFIs are increasing investment in non-listed investments and we think scrutiny by the shareholder for the larger investments is warranted," the March 25 letter says.
English also issues a watch-it notice for the NZS' (as well as the other CFIs) exposure to financial derivatives, asking them to use the sometimes-complicated instruments "judiciously".
Furthermore, the Finance Minister presses the NZS to collaborate more closely with the other CFIs (principally, the ACC, Government Superannuation Fund and the, now much-depleted EQC disaster fund).
English writes "... there is a material crossover in the operational investment activities of the CFIs". He also mentions a new trans-CFI working group has been established to explore such co-operative opportunities.
In order to circumvent any potential political distress, English also reiterates the government's "no surprises" policy, requiring early warning of any high-publicity CFI event.


text: I have one hive and this was my first winter. When I opened the hive, the bees were all dead. There was plenty of honey and the bees were in two separate clusters. There was feces smeared all over the inside walls. I have Italians, and most of the dead bees were dark brown. All my equipment is new yet the comb in the lower box was also dark brown. I don't know if that is significant. It is very wet where I live and I squeezed the hive between two evergreen plus wrapping it. I am zone 6 in Southeastern MA. Wonder if I contributed to this happening due to excess moisture. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

(McALLEN, TX) – United States Attorney Chuck Rosenberg today announced that Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Independent School District ("PSJA-ISD") trustee Guadalupe Jaime Santa Maria, 54, has been convicted of conspiring to receive bribes from a local contractor in exchange for favorable votes on PSJA-ISD construction contracts.
Santa Maria pled guilty to the federal felony offense at a late afternoon hearing on Tuesday, January 3, 2006, before United States District Judge Ricardo Hinojosa. Santa Maria faces a maximum sentence of five (5) years in federal prison, without parole, and a maximum fine of $250,000. The court permitted Santa Maria to remain on bond pending his sentencing scheduled for March 17, 2006, at 9:30 a.m.
"Government is not for sale," said U.S. Attorney Chuck Rosenberg. "Citizens have every right to expect - and demand - that government officials conduct their business in a lawful and proper manner. We will continue to root out corruption wherever and whenever we find it."
Santa Maria was indicted along with Alonso Cardenas, Jr., 58, a McAllen-area general and masonry contractor in July 2005. The indictment accused and both men now stand convicted of participating in a conspiracy to commit extortion, mail fraud, and bribery concerning a federally funded governmental agency between 2000 and 2004. The scheme involved Cardenas providing money and services to Santa Maria in exchange for Santa Maria's influence as a school district trustee in the award of PSJA-ISD contracts to Cardenas.
At the re-arraignment hearing, Santa Maria admitted receiving $5,000 in cash from Cardenas in exchange for the award of a contract to one of Cardenas's companies for work at PSJA-ISD facilities mandated by the Americans with Disabilities Act. Santa Maria also admitted accepting a total of $3800 in improvements and repairs to his home from Cardenas in exchange for his influence in the awarding of PSJA-ISD construction-related contracts.
Cardenas was convicted for his role in the conspiracy in August 2005, and is pending sentencing on March 20, 2006, at 9:30 a.m.
The case was investigated by agents with the McAllen Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Dallas Regional Office of the U.S. Department of Education Office of Inspector General. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Larry Eastepp of the Public Corruption Section of the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Re: A message for the Oliver Family.
Hey Kittenclaws, it's hard to say which messages I like more, reading the ones with the m missing is like trying to unravel a bunch of clues! It was like reading a different language I've never learnt, [I think Pete loves you to, ahhh ] And Miss Mercedes, it seems you manage to have a lot more fun at your house then happens at mine, [most of the time].Where were you sitting again when you were going over those notes? :shock:. Could you please tell me Kaff, why are you cooking Pete's food? Has he fallen so in love with Kittenclaws that he might hurt himself if he tried it all by he's lonesome? . It feels like I should make my way back to the couch for awhile, [sorry], I'll give it another go later, [just don't forget about me while I'm gone, okay]. Please take good care of yourselves, all of you, I think I'd miss this too much, [by the way, that might be a compliment, but it's also the truth]. I hope everyone had a reason to smile today, I just did!..Talk to you later,.. Mrs.D.. :arrow: P.S.. I've watched British comedies since I was a teenager Kaff, [and no smart remarks like "oh, did they have T.V. way back then?" ], & my husband thinks Absolutely Fabulous is hilarious, and believe me, that is quite a feat!. Bye for now all, you too, Nurse Mercedes.

Ha! You will notice I'm not making Pete's curry anymore. He is big enough to make it himself. I'm meant to be working... waiting for someone to come and fix our dodgy boiler.
Ab Fab is really funny or it was in the good old days (recent series not so funny). I love Joanna Lumley calling Saffy a troll.
Am I missing something? when did Pete declare his love for Kittenclaws?
Back to work, ahem.

Well I hope Mrs.Pete takes that message in the spirit it was intended, [with a chuckle and a smile]. Still a little under the weather tonight, but on the bright side tonight, it's snowing, [alot]. It looks beautiful! Will check in tomorrow, if the power stays on that is. I also noticed tonight when I popped in that I didn't say a personal Thank You to Kjab for that lovely message to me, [days ago]. I'm very sorry it took so long. I was kinda hoping Kittenclaws had lost the use of her m again, my brain could use the workout every so often. Before I say night-night, a quick HELLO to Mercedes, Kittenclaws, Pete, Elvis, Guzz, Mrs.Gibbs, Kaff, Sabs, Kjab, Stef, LaLuna and every single person who's left a message on this topic, whether it was for me or somebody else, [I hope I didn't miss anyone].

Re: A message for the Oliver Family.
Hi Mrs D. & everyone else.
I have to agree how fab mum's are. Mine lives in France these days which is rather a trek from NE England, so I have big phone bills now. Still have to talk to her at least a couple of times a week as I miss having her close. Not forgetting that Dad's are also totally brilliant and very necessary for advice on lots of practical things as well as dishing out hugs and a few home truths when needed .
My mum and dad are coming to stay this weekend (first time they've been to stay with me since Christmas) so needless to say I'm really excited and can't wait to spend some quality time with them and cook them my new favourite dishes.
Mrs D. I wish we had some snow here. i love the white stuff and we hardly ever get decent snow in the UK. I try to get in a skiing hoiday each year usually in the alps to get my fix!
Have just heard that Warren Miller's latest ski film is to be shown in Newcastle in Nov so I'm looking forward to that.
Anyway, I'm just rambling now, so i'll go before I bore you all.

Re: A message for the Oliver Family.
Hello Stefanie, sounds like another couple of sweet souls on board. Doing a little better today, looks like it's starting to trail off. We don't get our flu shots till Nov. 4th, hope I didn't give the flu to anyone this week, likewise I hope I don't get it [again] next week. Okay, that's enough flu talk for awhile. What are you up to this week Stefanie? Have you got any good stories for me, [they don't necessarily have to be true, just good ]. Annietheaussie, is it okay to call you Annie, my spellcheck keeps telling me I've made a spelling error when I type the whole thing? One of the Canadian News Networks ended it's broadcast yesterday with a panoramic view from the new sky walk in Sidney. Holy Cow, using the word "sky" is something of a understatement wouldn't you say! I almost had to take sea-sick pills just looking at it from my living-room! :shock: Rory's a great name don't ya think, [oh, my English]. Sounds like someone from a chapter of a good book 8) . Let me know how everything goes after your visit, what I wouldn't give to hug my mum just one more time...Sorry, I had to stop there for a sec., sometimes I don't think before I speak [type], and it seems, getting emotional is happening a lot lately. I had better learn how to control these waterworks of mine or I'll have to save some $ and buy a few shares in a Kleenex company, . Well I best say Ta Ta for now, Take Care All and I hope everyone had at least one reason to smile today, Mrs.D.. :arrow: P.S. I hope Kittenclaws, Pete and Mercedes are doing alright, I can't remember if I chatted with them yesterday or not, [the flu still had the better of me or, I'm losing my memory, it's a toss up].

The Greg Mortenson Mystery
By James Dohnert
Greg Mortenson is a former mountaineer, best-selling author, globally recognized philanthropist and former Commonwealth Club speaker. His non-profit organization, Central Asia Institute, is dedicated to promoting and supporting community-based education in remote regions of northern Pakistan and Afghanistan. He's written two New York Times best-sellers, one of which he discussed in his September 24, 2008, speech to the Club.
Last week, he was accused of lying in his memoirs and making false claims about building schools in the Middle East. "We found there are serious questions about how millions of dollars have been spent, whether Mortenson is personally benefiting, and whether some of the most dramatic and inspiring stories in his books are even true," declared Steve Kroft on last Sunday's "60 Minutes." Mortenson stands accused of fabricating some of the most compelling stories in his memoir, Three Cups of Tea, and, worse, using his organization's money for private gain.
While Mortenson and his organization continue to state that "60 Minutes" is incorrect, the real issue may be how this affects other non-profits in the field. The lack of transparency and possibility of fabrications could hurt non-profits looking for donations to further causes in the Middle East. Will the alleged actions of Mortenson cause donors to think twice next time they open up their checkbooks?
Hopefully not, and hopefully upcoming events at the Commonwealth Club will lead possible donors to get more educated on some of the most pressing issues in the Middle East.
On April 25th join the Commonwealth Club for the Middle East Discussion Group
Make your voice heard in an enriching, provocative and fun discussion with fellow Club members as you weigh in on events shaping the face of the Middle East.
Also come visit the Club on May 6th for Conversations with Terrorists: Their Views on Politics, Violence and Empire
Veteran journalist Reese Erlich will take you inside the U.S.-led war on terror. Drawing on first-hand reporting in Northern Ireland, Columbia, Spain and the Middle East, Erlich challenges the definition of "terrorist" and argues that yesterday's terrorist may be today's national leader, and today's freedom fighter might be tomorrow's terrorist.
And be sure to listen to the Commonwealth Club speech by Greg Mortenson from 2008, where he discusses the infamous stories.

Research Summary
A long-term goal of my laboratory is to understand how the exo-endocytic cycle is spatially regulated during cellular morphogenesis. Two major focuses are the spatial-temporal regulation of membrane traffic in adipocytes in response to insulin signaling and in fibroblasts during cell migration. To elucidated mechanisms that regulate membrane trafficking, my laboratory uses advanced imaging and analysis coupled with RNAi knockdown of key regulator machinery (e.g. exocyst complex). Innovative live cell TIRFM and spinning-disk confocal imaging at the 'CINEMA' imaging center are used to visualize directly, at the single-vesicle level, where and how membrane traffic is delivered and regulated. As impaired vesicle exocytosis is associated with type 2 diabetes and abnormal cell motility is associated with metastasis and cancer, the knowledge gained with this research will be highly significant in understanding the pathologies of these diseases.

Extensive Research Description
Cellular Imaging and Analysis of Polarized Membrane Traffic. A major goal of my laboratory is to develop and apply new and state-of-the-art multidimensional optical methods to better understand the basic mechanisms of polarized membrane trafficking and spatial-temporal control of endo-exocytosis.
One important challenge facing modern biology is to understand how individual biochemical reactions are integrated in space and time. Increasingly, new vital probes and optical methods has begun to provide unique mechanistic insight into how molecules, vesicles, organelles and whole cells are (re)organized in response to internal and external cues. This is especially relevant for the dynamic process of membrane traffic and the cytoskeleton in cell polarity - key areas of our interest. Insight into how cells both establish and lose polarity are also essential for understanding disease processes such as metastasis. In particular we are applying the optical methods of Total Internal Reflections Fluorescence Microscopy (TIRFM) and 4D (3D + time) multicolor spinning-disk confocal imaging to directly address, at the single-vesicle level, where and how polarized membrane traffic is delivered. TIRFM imaging (also called evanescent wave microscopy) can selectively illuminate an extremely thin optical section (
Specifically, using advance optical methods our lab is exploring the following related topics:
1) organization and coordination of exocytosis and cytoskeleton in polarized cells and
2) coupling of exo- and endocytosis and molecular mechanisms that regulate this process. For instance, TIRFM imaging has lead to a number of novel observations including imaging of constitutive exocytosis (and the surprising presence of exocytic 'hot-spots' for fusion on the cell surface) and nanometer targeting of microtubule plus ends to the cell surface and focal adhesions. To facilitate these and other studies multicolor TIRFM instruments, a 4D spinning disk confocal and electrophysiology instrumentation has been recently implemented here as part of "The CINEMA Lab" ("Cinema Imaging Using New Microscopy Approaches"), with support from Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (LICR), various grants, Yale and the private sector. We are also collaborating with other groups at Yale (Dr. Jim Duncan's group, Dept. of Biomedical Engineering) and overseas (Elena Diaz, Spain) to develop novel software to detect, analyze and make computational cellular models of these processes.

Staying cool in the heat
Temperatures are forecast to be in the 90s and 100s this week, and this type of heat can be dangerous to people and pets.
Dr. John Torres, medical director of Premier Urgent Care, said people need to stay hydrated. He warned that waiting until one is thirsty can be a big mistake, as thirst is an early sign of dehydration. Torres said water and sports drinks are best, and said alcohol should be avoided.
He said dehydration can lead to heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Symptoms for these disorders can include nausea, fatigue, headache and aches. If suffering from these symptoms, the person should seek a cooler location and should begin drinking fluids.
Sunscreen should also be applied every two hours to anyone spending time outside. Torres recommends a sunscreen between SPF30 and SPF50.
"If the sunscreen is more than two years old, get rid of it and get some new ones because it has lost its potency," said Torres.
Pets should also be protected from the heat. Dr. Laura Birkholz, veterinarian with North Academy Veterinary Hospital, said sunscreen can be applied to dogs. She said those at particular risk of sunburn are white, short-haired dogs. She advised applying sunscreen to the tips of the dog's ears, the area where their nose meets their hairline and the skin on the stomach.
Birkholz said one of the biggest mistakes pet owners make is putting ice in the dogs' water dishes to help cool them down. She explained that when dogs pant, water is evaporating from the dog's tongue and this is how they are able to stay cool.
"If you cool down their water source, that cools down their tongue and it doesn't evaporate the water from their tongue. It makes them hotter," she said.
Birkholz also warns owners to never leave their dogs in the car, even if just for a short time.
She said if a dog begins to act depressed, does not care to engage with its owner, pants excessively and rejects water, these could be indicators that the dog is suffering from heat exhaustion. The dog's veterinarian should be called with any questions of concerns.

Step up to the challenge of our arts, sciences, professional and graduate programs, and achieve more than you ever imagined. Be challenged and transformed by professors who are experts in their fields and invest their lives at Cedarville to mentor and guide students like you.

When Cedarville senior Matthew Yeiter was a freshman, he wasn't sure what he wanted to major in. He knew he was good at interacting with people and that he was interested in business and finances. Instead of choosing between marketing and finance, he chose both. Now, he has a double major and a love for financial planning.
In order to pursue his goal of becoming a financial planner, Yeiter has used his elective credits to tailor his classes to his interests. He took Financial Planning and Federal Income Taxes, two classes closely related to his interests but not required for graduation. He also completed an internship last summer at Northwest Financial Services, a financial planning company.
Senior Nathan Dix also wants to go into financial planning. In fact, he has already accepted a job with Edward Jones, which he will start after graduation. Through this job, he hopes to impact his clients' lives for Christ. Nathan says, "If I can talk with them about their finances, what can't I talk with them about?"
Of course, business majors aren't the only ones preparing themselves for a stable financial future. Jeff Guernsey, M.S., assistant professor of finance, teaches Personal Finance, a class that is open to all students, regardless of their major. As part of the class, students create a sample budget based off of an entry-level job salary, review their credit reports, and explore hypothetical investing scenarios to learn about stocks. They also read a book of their choosing about personal finance to see how the material they are learning can be applied in the real world. Guest speakers, such as realtors and investment brokers, provide another layer of real-world connection.
Assistant Professor Patrick Oliver, M.B.A., loves teaching Personal Financial Management, a class required for all criminal justice majors.

UTSA's Rick Nixon accepts position with NCAA
(Jan. 4, 2006)--Rick Nixon, assistant athletic director for media relations at The University of Texas at San Antonio since 1987, has been named NCAA associate director of the Division I Women's Basketball Championship.
Nixon, who will serve as the primary media contact for the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship, replaces Scottie Rodgers, who is now with College Sports Television.

Nixon served as local media coordinator when UTSA hosted NCAA Division I championship events including the 1998 and 2004 Men's Final Four, 2002 Women's Final Four and men's basketball regional championships in 1997, 2001 and 2003 at San Antonio's Alamodome.
"Rick has been a part of our NCAA tournament family for many years. He will bring a great deal of tournament experience and an in-depth knowledge of the tournament operations," said Sue Donohoe, vice-president for Division I Women's Basketball. "Rick will be very involved in the operational aspects of our championships and also will be engaged in several of our women's basketball broad-based initiatives, including the women's basketball branding campaign."
Before taking the position at UTSA in 1987, Nixon worked as a copywriter for Accent Advertising Agency in San Antonio from 1982 to 1987. He earned a bachelor's degree in journalism, broadcasting and film in 1982 from Trinity University in San Antonio.
"I am honored with this tremendous opportunity that the NCAA has afforded me," Nixon said. "Being able to join the NCAA is a dream come true for me. I have been fortunate to work many NCAA championship events in San Antonio over the last few years and feel that this experience will serve me well in my new position. I appreciate the many people I have met and the experiences I have had at UTSA, and will always look back warmly at my time spent as part of the Roadrunner family."
Nixon will be responsible for the administration of specified areas of the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship, assisting with the training and supervision of administrative employees, supporting the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Committee; and serving as the primary contact for media operations of the Division I Women's Basketball Championship.
At UTSA, Nixon has directed publicity efforts for the 16 sports at the university, while also serving as play-by-play announcer for UTSA men's and women's basketball radio and television broadcasts. He is a member of the College Sports Information Directors of America organization.
A native San Antonian, Nixon also has served the United States Olympic Committee as a press officer at the Summer World University Games in Daegu, South Korea, in 2003, and in Izmir, Turkey, in 2005.

Place Surveillance Cameras in PAUSD Schools
Original post made by Periwinkle, Downtown North, on Oct 18, 2006
One of the maddening things is that some of the theft and vandalism is repeated, with the same room(s), or same items getting stolen, or broken, over and over - in spite of attempts to keep them safe. School administrative and teaching staff are helpless in the face of this kind of thing.
Bathrooms are often marked up, and other school assets are often abused and/or stolen.
Further, PAUSD campuses are NOT safe in the evening. Building exteriors are poorly lit.
It's simply time to install surveillance cameras, so that we can deter vandalism, and more serious crime.
Other school systems have begun to do this; it will improve property and personal safety, and save taxpayer's money in the long run. It's a no-brainer.

This sounds like a very sensible suggestion to me, much better than temporarily having a security guard going from campus to campus as a deterrant. Even if all the cameras weren't on at the same time, the perpetrators wouldn't know which were on and which were not so that would probably deter all but the most ardent.
Another suggestion might be the mosquito. This is a device which emits a high frequency buzz that annoys teenagers to the extent they do not wish to be anywhere near it. The frequency is inaudible to adults and and not annoying to children. It was designed to stop teenagers hanging out outside convenience stores and has been very succesful in England. I have seen it discussed on the Discovery Channel and also it was mentioned in the latest Paly Camponile I saw, although there it was talking about how it is being used as a cell phone ring tone which teens could hear and adults couldn't.
a resident of Gunn High School
on Oct 18, 2006 at 5:03 pm
Periwinkle- I agree. I am a student at Gunn and have suffered having my own personal property (such as my bike) being vandalized/stolen.
Bystander- Quite frankly, why install devices that have us become more annoyed with school than we already are? :-D I am just joking. Actually though, I think there may be an issue with these mosquito devices because many students have legitimite reasons for being on campus after hours: sports, student government, dances, set/clean up, plays, (at gunn- spagenberg theatre events) rehearsals. Some of which can go on until 10:30 or 11 PM.
a resident of Ventura
on Nov 3, 2006 at 1:25 am
You're joking - right?
I'm assuming the lack of responses to this proposal indicates other folks didn't take it seriously. But, just in case I'm wrong, let's squash this brain virus before it spreads.
"One of the maddening things is that some of the theft and vandalism is repeated, with the same room(s), or same items getting stolen, or broken, over and over - in spite of attempts to keep them safe. School administrative and teaching staff are helpless in the face of this kind of thing."
So, exactly how do you envision surveillance cameras magically succeeding where other security mechanisms have failed?
Next time you're waiting on line in your local bank, keep yourself busy by counting the surveillance cameras. Yet banks here in Palo Alto, as everywhere else, are still getting robbed. Open your eyes: police and private surveillance cameras are all around you - with no effect on crime.
"Bathrooms are often marked up..."
And so? You want surveillance cameras in the school BATHROOMS? And who's the lucky voyeuristic pedophile who gets the job of electronically peeking in the pants of our kids? Let's be fair and also publicly post the URLs of the websites the voyeur will upload the video to, so all pedophiles will have an equal opportunity to get kinky with our kiddies.
"Further, PAUSD campuses are NOT safe in the evening. Building exteriors are poorly lit."
Umm..then how about lighting them??
"It's a no-brainer."
Clearly - 100% brain-free.

It was a catchphrase that stuck for decades but Fresh Up's "it's just gotta be good for you" was dreamed up, off-the-cuff, by Sir John Walker.
And the Olympic runner received no royalties for it.
"I was fluffing my lines all the time," Sir John recalled of the 1978 commercial. "I thought I'd take a shortcut and said: 'look guys, it's just got to be good for you'. It stuck."
But the advertisement was filmed in the days when sportsmen were amateurs and could not earn the sort of big money they would command in product endorsements today.
For the ad, which ran for more than 10 years, Sir John was paid $30,000, though he wasn't happy he lost half of it to the country's athletics federation because of the amateur rules of the time.
"It was like highway robbery," he said. "Everywhere I went, people would say to me 'it's got to be good for you'. No drink had been advertised like that in the past."
Fresh Up turns 50 this year. It was launched when the Apple and Pear Growers Board had too much leftover fruit. They decided to juice it and package it.
The first Fresh Up manufacturing line in 1962 created 1000 cans a day, which had to be opened with a can opener.
Now, more than seven million juice packs are produced a year, in tetrapacks and flip-tab cans.
Marketing manager Sandi Boyden said Fresh Up had just over 10 per cent of the crowded juice market. "It's evolved, we've seen a number of different products come into the juice category."
She said there had been a lot of innovation in juice products in response to changing customer tastes.
One of the challenges now is to produce products with low sugar content but Boyden said the original products were still popular.
"The sugar debate will always be there. Taste is something we won't compromise on. Consumers have the ability to make their own choices," she said.
The brand has moved away from positioning itself as a sports drink for athletes and now pitches itself as an option for the weekend warrior.
Sir John says he does not drink it as much as he used to. "But it's a very good drink, it's natural."

Researchers Propose New Way to Explain How Life Began on Earth
Jason Mick
December 13, 2012 5:19 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
By looking at information stored in chemistry, says former NASA fellow, life from non-life can be explained
An outstanding question in the
field of evolutionary biology
and biochemistry is how the complex, fragile biochemicals that made up life
arose and transformed biomaterial
in the early Earth from non-living to the earliest "living" organisms. Some researchers have looked for quasi-alive constructs
like prions or viruses
for clues.
But a new paper by Paul Davies, an
Arizona State University
Regents' Professor and director of the Beyond Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science, and Sara Walker, a NASA post-doctoral fellow at the Beyond Center,
in the journal
suggests that researchers are approaching the problem in the wrong way.
They suggest that rather looking at the "hardware" (biochemicals), they look at the "software" (chemically encoding information). The authors suggest that the defining line between the living and non-living is the ability to manage encoded information, thus the key question is how this information handling arose.
Could the clue to how life arose lie in how it encodes information?
Comments Prof. Walker, "When we describe biological processes we typically use informational narratives -- cells send out signals, developmental programs are run, coded instructions are read, genomic data are transmitted between generations and so forth. So identifying life's origin in the way information is processed and managed can open up new avenues for research."
"Chemical based approaches have stalled at a very early stage of chemical complexity -- very far from anything we would consider 'alive.' More seriously they suffer from conceptual shortcomings in that they fail to distinguish between chemistry and biology."
"We propose that the transition from non-life to life is unique and definable," Prof. Davies adds, "We suggest that life may be characterized by its distinctive and active use of information, thus providing a roadmap to identify rigorous criteria for the emergence of life. This is in sharp contrast to a century of thought in which the transition to life has been cast as a problem of chemistry, with the goal of identifying a plausible reaction pathway from chemical mixtures to a living entity."
"To a physicist or chemist life seems like 'magic matter. It behaves in extraordinary ways that are unmatched in any other complex physical or chemical system. Such lifelike properties include autonomy, adaptability and goal-oriented behavior -- the ability to harness chemical reactions to enact a pre-programmed agenda, rather than being a slave to those reactions."
"We believe the transition in the informational architecture of chemical networks is akin to a phase transition in physics, and we place special emphasis on the top-down information flow in which the system as a whole gains causal purchase over its components. This approach will reveal how the logical organization of biological replicators differs crucially from trivial replication associated with crystals (non-life). By addressing the causal role of information directly, many of the baffling qualities of life are explained."
Crystals are also self-replicating, but they lack the flexibility of life.
[Image Source: Giovanni Dall'Orto]
If that all sounds a bit abstract, it is.
But basically it seems that the pair are arguing that by looking at differences between the self-replicating information in biochemicals (e.g. RNA) verus self-replication information in inorganic/non-living constructs (e.g. crystals), researchers may be able to retrace the process of how life arose on Earth more easily than if they merely focus on painstakingly mixing chemical constituents, hoping something arises.

I would like to save disk space when upgrading to EIC 2. If I choose to remove the EIC 1 samples, will this affect my existing Live Sets?
- Live Versions: ALL
- Operating System: ALL
If you like to remove the EIC 1 samples to save disk space, there are two ways to make sure your existing Live Sets using EIC 1 presets will still work:
1. Update your Live Sets to reference the new EIC 2 samples:
- Install EIC 2 and, when prompted, choose to remove EIC 1 samples.
- Open the Live Set you wish to update - it should show missing samples for all EIC 1 presets you used in this Live Set.
- Press the Hot-Swap button in the EIC 1 preset and reload the same preset from the Device Browser. It will now reference the new samples from EIC 2.
2. Run "Collect All and Save" on your Live Set before upgrading:
- If you want to make sure individual Sets from Live 6 stay unchanged, it is recommended to save the Live Sets as self-contained Projects before upgrading to EIC 2.

The year of infancy, where from the shadowy background of forgetfulness start out pictures of startling clearness, disconnected, but brightly coloured, and indelibly printed in the mind. Much that follows fades, but the colours of those baby-pictures are permanent.
There rises, perhaps, a warm summer's evening; we are seated on the door-step; we have yet the taste of the bread and milk in our mouth, and the red sunset is reflected in our basin.page: 241
Then there is a dark night, where, waking with a nameless fear, we run from our own bed to another, creep close to some large figure, and are comforted.
Then there is remembrance of the pride when, on some one's shoulder, with our arms around their head, we ride to see the little pigs.
Remembrance of delight in the feel and smell of the first orange we ever see; of sorrow which makes us put up our lip, and cry hard, when one morning we run out to try and catch the dew-drops, and they melt and wet our little fingers; of almighty and despairing sorrow when we are lost behind the kraals, and cannot see the house anywhere.
And then one picture starts out more vividly than any.
There has been a thunder-storm; the ground, as far as the eye can reach, is covered with white hail; the clouds are gone, and overhead a deep blue sky is showing; far off a great page: 242 rainbow rests on the white earth. We, standing in a window to look, feel the cool, unspeakably sweet wind blowing in on us, and a feeling of longing comes over us—unutterable longing, we cannot tell for what. We look at the white earth, and the rainbow, and the blue sky; and oh, we want it, we want—we do not know what. We cry as though our heart was broken. When one lifts our little body from the window we cannot tell what ails us. We run away to play.
So looks the first year.

Town Square
On Deadline Blog: Palo Alto Main -- Will it be a main library by any other name?
Original post made by Jay Thorwaldson, editor emeritus, on Sep 10, 2013
It's producing a lot of smoke as well as heat, according to emails and Town Square online-forum entries.
But the core issue isn't what the Palo Alto Main Library is named, although that could be a fight in itself, one supposes. The issue is the credibility of the city staff in charge of the sweeping redesign of the Main and other libraries. Most notable is the major redesign and expansion of the Mitchell Park Library and Community Center. Huge delays and cost overruns of the Mitchell Park rebuilding/expansion project have created an equally huge credibility factor.
Long overdue and over-budget, that complex will be a striking addition to the city's library roster. People will, ahem, need to check it out for themselves to see if the modernistic design is as horrible as some debate contributors maintain or if it's a sleek modern facility worthy of Palo Alto's next century or so.
It also seems there's more than a touch of irony in that libraries -- and their stock in trade, books -- are center stage in an era of online communications, digital books and enough Internet chatter to distract the ancient language gods from their jobs of running the world.
But so far library use is not just holding steady but growing, in Palo Alto at least, according to reports. Books still are popular, but other uses -- such as study and socializing centers for students after school, and places for older persons to hang out.
Years back, Weekly reporter Bill D'Agostino spent a day at the old Mitchell Park Library and noted that by midafternoon the older-person population drifted away to be supplanted by an invasion of high-energy teenagers.
Similarly, the Main Library renovation of the 1958 Main Library building will include a 4,000-square-foot addition to house four group-study rooms and a teen center. It will have an upgraded electrical system to accommodate residents' computer needs.
So libraries, as they long have, will be serving an after-school refuge in a world of two-worker households, books or no, and as a place-to-go refuge for older persons with retirement time on their hands. This drop-in-center use echoes findings of a series of focus groups in the 1990s. The groups found that people wanted primary and branch libraries to be places to meet with friends and relax.
Also, as usual, the fear of losing something, such as traditional classic books, fuels much of the heat of the debate, sometimes raging hotter than the flames of any totalitarian or religious book-burning of times past. The online exchanges, fraught with insults aimed at city staff and library supporters, allege incompetence and even willful deception about the future of Main, as it has been called for the past half century plus five years.
"We drank the kool aid served up a few years ago ,as provided by FOPAL," one critic went to far as to assert, referring to Friends of the Palo Alto Library -- ignoring the trade-mark capitalization of the flavored drink associated with the mass poisoning at a cult location, Jamestown. This should go down in history perhaps as one of the greatest bad-taste overstatements of our time.
There have been attempts to calm things down, such as a Guest Opinion last February by Alison Cormack -- who led a successful $76-million library-bond campaign in 2008 -- in the Weekly this year: Web Link. Cormack won a Tall Tree Award for outstanding citizen for accomplishing the "impossible" bond approval of about 70 percent, following disastrous earlier attempts a half dozen years before.
Cormack cites details of what went wrong with Mitchell, some steps taken to avoid mistakes on Main, and how the costs were shaping up for all the library construction. She also announced success of a $4 million fundraising campaign to furnish and equip the revamped libraries.
"Let's also review the expenses," she wrote. "The 2008 bond authorized up to $76 million. Downtown came in $1 million under budget, Mitchell Park is projected to be $4.7 million under budget, and Main is projected to be $2.6 million over budget, due to changes in the landscaped and parking area and the need to replace, not repair, the roof.
"So, in total, the projects should be completed for less than what was approved."
The column and extensive coverage stage by stage by reporter Gennady Sheyner are worth reviewing: A search at www.PaloAltoOnline.com will be beneficial for anyone who wants to chime in intelligently on the topic.
Teenagers aren't the only ones who might benefit from doing some homework before raising their hands and voices to say something.

I am one of those people that made this comment regarding the kool aid (not sure if there were others).
Perhaps Jay you should become familiar with the current usage of the term:
Web Link
""Drinking the Kool-Aid" is a metaphor commonly used in the United States that refers to a person or group holding an unquestioned belief, argument, or philosophy without critical examination. It could also refer to knowingly going along with a doomed or dangerous idea because of peer pressure"
It is commonly used. Of course, your claim that it " should go down in history perhaps as one of the greatest bad-taste overstatements of our time" is an example of one of histories greatest exaggerations. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion (unless it upsets the weekly editorial staff)

I wonder how many Kindle/iPad/iPhone uses care what this mausoleum is going to be called. It's a massive waste of money in an age of digital communications. Maybe adopting a name that has a bit of the "old west" in it--like "Fools' End", or "Last Stop"?

Before we get into debate about the meaning of koolaid, let's get to basics.
Our old library buildings were in disrepair and there was a vote to repair them. There was no choice other than yes or no. Yes, the buildings were in disrepair and needed upgrading, but we had no say in whether we wanted a library service of 5 libraries or just one large, full service library plus childrens. We had one discussion about Mitchell Park which failed due to tennis! After that, I think it is true to say that many people just wanted to get some action so basically voted yes just to update Mitchell Park.
The question of whether we want one large library was never asked to Palo Alto voters. Just whether or not we wanted our libraries updated. Of course we wanted to update, but did we want so many libraries?
Now, we have these buildings (at least almost) and libraries filled with books are going the way of the dodo bird. We don't need anything more than a check out shelf and desk at a community center. Most patrons do not peruse shelves of books making a choice what to borrow. Most people who want a book look at the catalog online, wait for an email saying that it is in the library they requested, and then pick it up from a hold shelf and check out the book. Where these books are stored is really not an issue to most library users.
On top of the hold system and the reminder to renew or return, a library is now really just a community center, a place to read, use electronics, shelter from the rain or the heat (after all the new buildings should no longer close when it is too hot) and perhaps pick up a book from the hold shelf.
We do not need 5 buildings with shelves of books. We do not need qualified librarian staff pointing to the right shelves. We do need pick up and drop off facilities. We also need the libraries to be open as many hours as possible to make them accessible to busy residents. They need to open at the same time each day and close at the same time each day. They need to be open at weekends and into the evenings. It should not be necessary to check the calendar to find out if today is the day it opens late or closes early, because that should not happen.
I, as many other people at the time, was not happy with the way we were treated before the vote because we were never asked what we wanted in a library. I was disappointed at the way the PTA, FOPAL, and others misled voters saying "it was for the children", or "the buildings are in such a sad state we really must do something before they fail completely".
I am not alone in saying that I am pretty disgusted that at present we have two temporary locations. Two of the city libraries I have never visited. I don't go downtown much and I have never been to College Terrace library and have no idea where it is. I do use Main and Mitchell Park, at least I used to use both. They both were charming buildings but definitely needed updating. Either could easily have been made into a fabulous cityserving library with satellite checkin/out facilities at all our community services. Instead we are still waiting to see what Mitchell Park will finally look like and Main has relocated temporarily, we shall see how much longer this state of affairs continues, but I am not holding my breath.
The question of what our libraries will look like in ten years' time is still a good one. The question of what they will look like in one year's time is also worth asking. I have my doubts that we will know the answer.

Many people go to the Main Library to use the free wi-fi, not for the books. Why not just go to a cyber-cafe? Oh, yeah, you might have to buy something.

Granted, Kool Aid has a broader meaning than mass poisoning. But as a La Honda resident for some years not long after the Pranksters departed, it also meant drinking LSD, as I recall -- the proverbial acid test of someone's Koolness? But in all cases it's capitalized, I believe, as a trademark. Ah well. Point well taken anyway. Never did much like the watery stuff anyway. Jay

Someone I know swears by the stuff. He says plain Kool-Aid dissolved in water without any sugar in it is a great refresher on a hot day. I don't even know where the sell the stuff anymore to try that.

Reviews of this property
We stayed at Eveliens very cozy and enchanting House. The room was also very beautiful, clean and the Jacuzzi is a real nice Upgrade!!
We enjoyed that trip and we are also happy that we met Evelien, she is an excellent host!
We would like to come again and see the charming City Haarlem.
Thank you!!!
We had a lovely time at Evelien's place. She's a wonderful person and makes you feel welcome from the first second. The room is incredible and so is the neighborhood. We will definitely come back!
Near Town located room Room is clean and tidy. It lacks only a shower in the room, but available is a joint shower with the owner. Room has lots of low ceilings, so long as you're not ideal. Bbedden are good.
Dichtbij de stad gelegen kamer Kamer is schoon en netjes. Er mist alleen een douche op de kamer, wel beschikbaar is een gezamenlijk douche met de eigenaar. Kamer heeft veel lage plafonds, dus als je lang bent niet ideaal. Bbedden zijn goed.
The visit was really great ... the time when Evelien passed far too quickly.
Evelien a very nice, warm and friendly hostess.
The car can be without any problems in this area leave and use the public transport, easy access to bus stops.
Der Besuch war echt toll...die Zeit bei Evelien ging viel zu schnell vorbei.
Evelien ein sehr nette, herzliche und freundliche Gastgeberin.
Das Auto kann man ohne Probleme in dieser Gegend stehen lassen und die öffentlichen Verkehrmittel nutzen, kurze Wege zu den Haltestellen.
Staying at Evelien's place was an awesome experience. The place is very clean, and the area is very nice. It is closely located to public transportation and convenience stores. The pictures fit the room 100%! The jacuzzi is awesome!
Evelien is a very friendly and helpful person and knows about places to visit!
10/10 would visit her again! :)
thanks for a great time evelien
We had a great time at Eveliens place!
It was a short honey moon trip, so we realy enjoyed the Jacuzzi to relax after the wonderful wedding we had.
Evelin is a very friendly and you can see she loves her home.
Our stay at Eveliens house was wonderful. The room is really beautiful and quiet. The next bus station is very close and it took us only 25 min. to Amsterdam centraal. We really fell in love with Amsterdam and can't wait to come back!

St. Patrick's Day in Boston is insane. Not only is it one of the largest celebrations of its kind in the US, with well over half a million visitors, but our city is home to more "Irish bars" than most stateside. Combined, this brings out all sorts of amateurs, and if you're drinking beer in the area this Paddy's Day, you don't want to be confused for one. Fret not; we're here to help with four simple tips. Sláinte!
1) Forgo green beer. Putting green dye in your beer is disrespectful to the brewery. It's also nasty and potentially a health risk to some. Just say no.
2) Beware of bar scarring. If you hit a bar with a cover, you'll probably be tagged. You'll no doubt hit other places too, but before you do, scrub that stamp off your hand or trash the wristband; there's no need to advertise your pre-gaming.
3) Dress the part. Wearing minimal green is fine, but you don't want to look like a leprechaun. And any form of headgear basically says: "Look at me, because you'll be tossing me from the bar later."
4) Remember: you're (probably) not from Ireland. As your consumption increases, the urge to communicate in a faux-Irish accent may occur. Don't act Irish. Even Irish-ish. If the urge lasts four hours or more, seek a cab and go home.

OIT creates UTSA software coordinator position
By Alex Morones
Technical Writer, Office of Information Technology
(March 23, 2007)--The UTSA Office of Information Technology (OIT) announces the appointment of Andy Trotti as UTSA software coordinator. In the newly created job, she will serve as the software point-of-contact for all UTSA departments and colleges.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

In creating the software coordinator position, the goal is to reduce duplicate purchases, avoid compatibility issues between hardware and software, and to secure better discounts by purchasing multiple licenses and site licenses.
Trotti will maintain a library of software packages and related licensing agreements. The library will be a repository for all UTSA software to keep it safe from damage and loss, while the software still will belong to departments that purchase it.
A new UTSA Software Web site has listings of software and hardware available at UTSA and links to policies related to computers and networks.
"This is by no means an all-inclusive list, and it will be updated often," said Trotti. "This site lists software, hardware and mobile devices supported by OIT, as well as purchasing guidelines."

Ok so you have an 8.1 V8, what are the symptoms? Why is the mechanic saying to replace valve seals?
Yes explain a little more pls. where are you located??
Welcome to the forum!!
Get the compression checked and have a leak down test done.
This should tell you if you have a valve issue.
The repair manual for your truck should give compression numbers and leak down times.

Journalist who reported on crime attacked in Peru
Peruvian journalist Jorge Alberto Moncada Mino was attacked by unidentified assailants in the city of Chiclayo in the northern department of Lambayeque on May 24, according to news reports. Moncada, who reports for the daily El Ciclón de Chiclayo and Radio Caliente, was entering a store near his home to buy bread when two men got out of a vehicle and beat him with the butt of a gun and a wrench. The journalist was hospitalized with several bone fractures and wounds to his abdomen and head.

I found that you can use a thin ss ruler to hold the spring & detent in place while you insert the take down pin in place. Nothing is perfect as somewhere in my livingroom there is an errant detent when I tried my first one!

I used a punch (I forget what size) that was close to the size of the receiver holes to capture the detent while I slid the pin from the other side. I figured that out after launching my first one across the kitchen.
Hi Guys,
Been quite a while since I've been on this board, but wanted to update you on my absence.
First, I did finish my AR15 build and am very happy with my work on the lower. I wish I could say the same for the upper (JSE Surplus). I took the rifle out to the range, and all seemed well for the first couple shots, then the rifle started to short stroke on me. I looked the gun over and all was in order, so I figured it was the ammo (Federal 55gr), so the fellow next to me gave me some Remington factory (55gr also) and the rifle reacted the same (jamming and cases ejecting forward). Well I took it home and tore it down and was totally shocked by what I found. First, the gas hole was half covered by the gas block (the people that build for JSE, drilled the gas hole without taking into consideration the thickness of the handguard retainer - beginner's mistake). Second, the gas hole wasn't drilled all the way through (the .078 gas hole was only about half its size, which meant they didn't break through the barrel, hence, about a .045" hole at best). Needless to say, I drilled the gas hole through, replaced the gas block with a low profile one, drilled detents for the gas block retaining screws to lock into, and installed a customizable handguard from Yankee Hill. All is well now and will range test again next week - Hopefully my problems are solved - we'll see.
Second, I built an AR10 from a raw forging, and also did the barrel from a blank from Green Mountain, I wrote a tutorial on the AR10, much along the lines of Ray-Vin's Tutorial and you can view it here. You can see my completed project here. I had to make all the tooling for the AR10 also and you can see some of it here.
Third, I am working on a Zombie shotgun with my brother. We're using an old JC Higgins model 20, 12ga (which, by the way is one of the finest pump shotguns ever built - Hi Standard 200). We are installing a pistol grip and forend assembly from ATI, whose intended use is the Mossberg 500, but with a few minor mods can be made to fit the old JC. The barrel heat shield needs to be cut and fitted to rings that are silver soldered to the barrel, then for some sandblasting and GunKote. No pics yet, but hopefully soon.
Hope to post back soon....

Definite gem on a bad defense overall)
hey redeye, u know we can pull up real old threads now right? I was reading a bunch of older stuff the other day..
I don't know if u got em up, but Khaseem Greene OLB RUTGERS.. If he don't bulk up we could use em at SS if were to lose KP in FA'cy and or a Deon Grant type hybrid.. THe dude had over 140tackles last yr and 13.5 TFL.. Hes a freaking stud! I think Jaquain WIlliams is the ultra active tackle machine we need at LB for yrs to come but having another player that can make plays behind the line and is all over the field coulden't hurt..
ya, Greene is darn quick! He definetly has cover ability, showing the Saftey in him, and he actually shedded blocks better then i thought he would at his size.. He lined up all over the place.. I'm very impressed! There was one play where Jantz rolled out and was in trouble and as he was running toward sideline, Greene closed on the play from way out in a matter of no time, and was right in on the play.. I see rutgers alot, and i'll be glued to Khaseem Greene this yr..

Lessons learned from traditional MA
My martial arts path really started with WTF Taekwondo. And over the years, I've found certain deficiencies in my TKD training and bad habits I picked up from sparring semi full-contact for points. I've learned that a lot of traditional martial artists find a sort of cognitive dissonance with classical or sport training and some of the realities of fighting. That being said, I've found that there were lots of important benefits from my TKD training that I wouldn't trade for the world. And some of them have nothing at all to do with fighting. What are some of the lessons from your traditional martial arts training that you'll never forget?
I'd like to add that I've posted a very similar thread in the Korean TMA forum. I deliberately reposted it here because I'm curious about what sort of different answer I may get. I don't want just Korean MA fanboys answering my query.

There's "traditional" (ancient oak beams and wisened masters with cocks of iron and deadly feats of awesomeness) and then there's traditional (wannabe fucknuckles glossing over their inadequacies on the pretext of "honouring" something or someone that they don't understand).
Bottom line? traditional arts can teach you discipline and body movement, but so can anything you do - its all in the turning up and listening.
Best thing I learnt from traditional arts is "be polite when its warranted but ONLY when warranted, don't cockgobble" and "don't be afraid to question anything - your instructor is not some omnipotent know-all".
Funny how these two things are often seen as confrontational in many TMA, yet common sense in places that encourage alive training and no bullshit.
That being said, I'm lucky to have trained at a couple of good TMA dojo. Also trained at a few lousy ones too.
Best thing I learnt? I'm responsible for my own training. Its my own fault if I feed the delusion.
(On the flip side, if I find something awesome, more fool me for not taking it and running with it)

Because my first experience was with a school that emphasized competition, I learned a lot of discipline from the method of training my first instructor had. So when I try to learn a new physical technique (martial arts or otherwise), I know how to break it down and how to drill the technique with variations. I think that line of thinking has helped me a lot. There were a lotta bad habits I learned as well, but that's not what this post is gettin' at.
I also thank my TKD training for my flexibility and kicking ability. I know a lotta other styles offer the same, but those benefits came to me via my TKD class and thus that's what I've got to thank for it. When sparring/competing/fighting I have noticed that I rarely encounter someone who has superior kicking technique or kick defense. Although, the flip-side is I run into a lotta people who can wrestle or box better than I can.
Non-fighting benefits? My school taught breakfalls as well, and living in Wisconsin I've used those more often than I've been in fights, it seems. **** ninjas, what about icy sidewalks?! I'm also grateful for the confidence it gave me through my teenage years and as a young adult. I even learned basic fitness as a kid from my Taekwondo class. No physical education class in high school would've taught me those stretches and training drills.

best thing i learnt from traditional karate was after i bashed a guy who was bigger than me and a brown belt in the karate dojo i was training at (I was green or something)- that i should train something that actually works

I learned that a herd can be a safe place, or it can trample you. I learned that you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. I learned that some will always be chickens no matter how loud they squawk and flap. I learned that some dog's bark is worse than their bite, but sometimes a loud bark is enough. And I learned that animal analogies are better for fanciful descriptions than fighting strategies.
I learned that a good horse stance is the foundation to a good horse stance.
I learned that progressive martial artists can be just as sanctimonious and dogmatic as the traditional artists they scorn (not that this excuses anyone).
I've learned that when a student moves on to pursue training elsewhere, its not a dojo failing- its a dojo that's instilled the proper attitude of excellence.

Re: Lessons learned from traditional MA
Is there anything useful you learn in TMA that you don't learn in modern, progressive MA? I think most competitive sports will teach the same lessons better and with less bullshit. Today I'd prefer to engage two years in competitive soccer than to waste my time in aikido as I did. And I hate soccer btw.
