Even before he received his first offer from West Virginia at the end of July, Logan Thimons knew he wanted to be a Mountaineer.
The Freeport, Pa., class of 2016 middle linebacker has always been a fan of the program, and quickly connected with associate head coach Tom Bradley. If the junior needed anything else to know West Virginia was the right place for him, he got it when he saw its Morgantown, W.Va., campus for the first time.
Thimons verbally committed to the Mountaineers Saturday afternoon, saying he saw no reason to wait any longer before making his pledge. The linebacker is the program's first class of 2016 commitment.
"Prior to getting the offer, I knew West Virginia had been my number one choice," Thimons said. "It's always been my number one choice, and it's a dream come true.
"They were my number one school, and I might as well commit and focus on my education and becoming the best player I can the next two years."
West Virginia saw all it needed from the 6-foot-2, 210 pound linebacker after two camps this summer, one a three-day and the other a one day event. That's where Thimons got to know Bradley, and the first-year Mountaineer coach also was the one who Thimons called to deliver the good news.
"I knew he was a great guy, and I got to spend some time with him and see how he interacted," Thimons said of Bradley. "Everywhere he went, he was a great guy to be around and brought a good feel to every room he went to.
"He was so welcoming," Thimons continued. "My mom got the first chance to meet him at the second camp, and a lot of high school coaches in the area like him."
The Mountaineers' facilities stood out too, as did the West Virginia community.
"The facilities are amazing," Thimons said. "I just love the area and how involved everyone is with the football team and how they take care of each other.
"Everyone is supportive of their Mountaineers, and I knew that was something I wanted to be a part of. I love that."
Thimons will focus his time now on doing everything he can to lead his Freeport team to a title while readying for life as a Mountaineer.
It's a dream come true, he said, and now he wants to build on it.
"It's a big kick in the butt because I'm officially going to be a part of a top Division I program," Thimons said. "I have to crank up two notches and crank my training up because it's a complete different game.
"I have to put my heart into every snap and prove I'm capable of playing in that level. I also want my high school and teammates to know my devotion to them."

The football postseason begins tonight with 13 games featuring 15 area teams.
Three city schools — Barbe, LaGrange and Washington-Marion will enjoy the comforts of home.
Barbe (9-1), the second seed in Class 5A, will host No. 31 Terrebonne (6-4). Bucs head coach Mike Cutrera said he likes the
way his team, which has won five straight, is playing heading into the playoffs.
"I think we are playing well, the schedule we had prepared us for this," Cutrera said. "The kids know what it takes, we just have to play with intensity."
Terrebonne is led by running back DeShaun Diggs (1,032 yards, 11 touchdowns) and QB Colby Stewart (419 passing yards, 830 rushing yards).
"They mainly line up in the shotgun, but they like to run out of it," Cutrera said. "They run the zone read, run some option. Defensively, they are big, physical and can run to the football, they are very impressive."
Washington-Marion (8-2) will be looking to bounce back from a 34-6 loss to LaGrange when it hosts Northwood (8-2).
"We have to try to rebound, go back to the basics and have fun again, see if we can get this thing turned around," said Charging Indians head coach Freddie Harrison. "That game is over and that part of the season is over. This is a fresh start now."
Northwood is led by quarterback Jerrick Peterson, who has thrown for 1,949 yards.
"They are a good football team," Harrison said. " They have good athletes and a high-powered offense. We will have to minimize their time with the football and try to control the clock."
The Charging Indians will be without injured linebacker-quarterback Melvin Jones.
"We have not changed much of what we do," Harrison said. "It is a big blow not having him, but the kids want to prove they can win without him. It is extra motivation."
LaGrange (7-3) will be hosting a home playoff game for the first time since 1999 when Franklinton (6-3) visits. The Demons, who won the 4A state championship two seasons ago, are led by Austin Armand, (1,304 passing yards and 583 rushing yards).
"They are explosive offensively, the quarterback is their man," said Gators head coach Jules Sullen. "We have to be sure to stop the counter and traps. He throws the ball well. Defensively, they are big. I think if our kids can continue playing at the same caliber they have been recently, it will be a great game."
No. 31 Terrebonne (6-4) at No. 2 Barbe (9-1)
No. 32 St. Louis (5-5) at No. 1 Neville (9-0)
No. 19 Franklinton (6-3) at No. 14 LaGrange (7-3)
No. 22 DeRidder (6-4) at No. 11 O.P. Walker (6-2)
No. 18 Northwood-Shreveport (8-2) at No. 15 Washington-Marion (8-2)
No. 20 Bogalusa (7-2) at No. 13 Jennings (7-3)
No. 26 Iowa (8-2) at No. 7 Buckeye (8-2)
No. 18 St. Charles (7-2) at No. 15 Westlake (6-3)
No. 18 Lake Arthur (8-2) at No. 15 Rosepine (7-3)
No. 17 North Webster (6-4) at No. 16 Kinder (8-2)
No. 20 Northlake Christian (5-4) at No. 13 Welsh (8-2)
No. 20 Elton (7-3) at No. 13 Basile (9-1)
No. 18 St. Mary (7-3) at No. 15 Oberlin (7-3)

Exec Perks: An Ugly Picture Emerges
By Louis Lavelle and Ronald Grover
Executive perks have always occupied a special place in Corporate America -- largely hidden from view. Unlike information about salaries, bonuses, and stock options, which is readily available, details about executive perks have usually been skimpy at best and, for the most part, consigned to footnotes in the company proxy.
But thanks to reforms by the Securities & Exchange Commission, that's starting to change. Companies are being prodded to disclose more perks -- and in more detail -- than ever before. And the picture isn't pretty.
In mid-April, Viacom (VIA ) revealed that it was reimbursing two top executives, co-Presidents Leslie Moonves and Thomas Freston, for sleeping in their own homes while in New York and Los Angeles on business. Morgan Stanley (MWD ) has disclosed the payments that would be due to embattled CEO Philip Purcell if he were to leave the company because of a change in control -- an eye-popping $63 million. And security company Brinks (BCO ) now says its CEO, Michael Dan, gets a lot of things it never disclosed before, including use of the company plane, club dues, tax services, a security system for his home, and even a physical exam -- perks valued at about $14,000.
The reason for the sudden openness on the subject: The SEC's tough new stance on disclosure. In September, the agency issued a cease-and-desist order to General Electric (GE ), saying its disclosure of the perks former CEO John Welch Jr. would receive in retirement violated reporting rules. GE neither admitted nor denied wrongdoing.
A month later, Alan Beller, director of the SEC's division of corporate finance, came down hard on companies that practice "opaque or unhelpful" disclosure. The effect was immediate: Pay researcher Equilar estimates that a third of all companies have made "significant" improvements to their compensation disclosures, especially on perks. And shareholder activists find what's being revealed downright shocking.
"The dam broke this season," says Patrick McGurn, senior vice-president of proxy adviser Institutional Shareholder Services. "The resulting floodwaters show that abuse is rampant."
It's hard to imagine a giveaway more over the top than the one Moonves and Freston receive at Viacom. Moonves, who lives in Los Angeles, owns a home in New York. When he stays at that home while traveling on business, he's reimbursed -- to the tune of $105,000 in 2004. Likewise, Freston -- who lives in New York and owns a home in Los Angeles -- was reimbursed $43,100 for staying at his L.A. domicile last year. Both executives earned about $20 million apiece in 2004. The company declined to comment.
That handout may be especially shameless, but Moonves and Freston are hardly the only execs who get their companies to help pay their housing costs. Rather than pick up the tab for a hotel, Time Warner (TWX ) pays CEO Richard Parsons a $4,000 monthly housing allowance -- plus $365 for utilities -- for an apartment in Los Angeles. The company describes the payments as "a valid business expense," citing benefits that include convenience, security, and keeping business transactions confidential.
At Walt Disney (DIS ), the company this year reported that outgoing CEO Michael Eisner has received a $10,000-a-month allowance toward maintenance of his apartment in New York City, where he travels frequently on business. Disney says the payment is less than it would fork out if Eisner were staying at hotels. But critics contend that such allowances are a way to funnel additional cash to executives who are already extremely well compensated.
"When someone is paid that much money, one would assume that you can pay for your own home," says Charles Elson, a corporate-governance expert at the University of Delaware. "It's just plain unseemly."
The newly disclosed perks don't end at housing allowances. Some big favorites of the corner-office set include personal use of the company plane, financial counseling and tax-preparation services, and "gross-up" payments that reimburse execs for the taxes they pay on many of their perks.
Leonard Schaeffer, the chairman of WellPoint (WLP ), stepped down as CEO on Jan. 31 with a severance package estimated at $120 million -- but apparently that wasn't enough. The company also gave him a mind-boggling array of retirement benefits, including four years of medical benefits, three club memberships, and title to a car.
Says Paul Hodgson, senior research associate with governance-watchdog group The Corporate Library: "It seems to me someone who just received $120 million can probably take care of their own country-club dues without any help from stockholders."
WellPoint says $68.5 million of Schaeffer's benefits come from 19 years of "guiding a company that went from nearly insolvent [to] one of the most successful and admired health-care companies in the industry." Moreover, the business says it has routinely reported elements of Schaeffer's agreement over the last eight years.
The downside risk to disclosure is that it provides executives who are negotiating employment contracts with the detailed information they need to demand even more goodies, resulting in a "keeping up with the Joneses" effect. But that may not happen this time around. Directors who set pay are under intense pressure to keep pay and benefits down.
At Cendant (CD ), for example, the American Federation of State County & Municipal Employees (AFSCME) is withholding its support for the head of the board's compensation committee, Robert Smith, citing CEO Henry Silverman's high pay and perks. Among them: The $165,000 reimbursement Silverman received for legal fees in connection with his contract negotiations.
Granted, if the new and more detailed disclosures tell investors anything, it's that the era of the imperial CEO is far from over. But if the disclosures anger shareholders, campaigns like AFSCME's could gain momentum and put additional pressure on boards to rein in executive perks.

truth of the Holocaust photos and pictures of Nazi crimes and atrocities
included in this project needs to be shown.
The Holocaust photos may be of graphic nature and disturbing -
before providing access to younger learners, parents
and teachers should preview the sites and guide
through what they may read and see.
The Holocaust was the systematic annihilation of six
million Jews during the Nazi genocide - in 1933 nine
million Jews lived in the 21 countries of Europe
that would be occupied by Nazi Germany during World
War 2. By 1945 two out of every three European Jews
had been killed.
The number of children killed by the Nazis is not
fathomable and full statistics for the tragic fate
of the children will never be known. Estimates range
as high as 1.5 million murdered children during the Holocaust.
This figure includes more than 1.2 million Jewish
children, tens of thousands of Gypsy
children and thousands of institutionalized
handicapped children.
Plucked from their homes and stripped of their
childhoods, the children had witnessed the murder of
parents, siblings, and relatives. They faced
starvation, illness and brutal labor, until they
were consigned to the gas chambers.

If you bought a block in good faith as I did in April then you either risk your system by using it or write it off as a loss.
It's frustrating having to wait and see if testing proves a product defect which would at least allow you to RMA the item and hopefully receive a replacement you could have confidence in.
Else it's an expensive write off unless you fancy your chances with the rest of your costly water loop.
Until then you either buy another brand or wait for some concrete independent testing results and then hopefully the aforementioned product recall.

NO it would not. Acording to EK that is exactly what is "eating away our perfect nickel plating"...
Any block that is proper nickel plated will not be affected by a loop with destiled water + a kill coil. It have proven to be the best recepi for watercooling for a few years now, and unless you have an EK nickel block, it will still be.
The EK blocks will start to tear down no matter what fluid you use.

Even though there are ongoing rumors that EK is using cheap "non" 0.999 electrolyte copper. But tests are on the way to clarify that too.

The metals you are naming and the oxidation process are not inter exchangeable according to the Chemistry mineral chart, which you should know because you refer to it.
Please look it up and come back with the correct chemistry chart and a good understanding of the oxidation process.

(estradiol) Transdermal System
Continuous delivery for twice-weekly application
Close clinical surveillance of all women taking estrogens is important. Adequate diagnostic measures, including endometrial sampling when indicated, should be undertaken to rule out malignancy in all cases of undiagnosed persistent or recurring abnormal vaginal bleeding. There is no evidence that "natural" estrogens are more or less hazardous than "synthetic" estrogens at equiestrogenic doses.
There is no indication for estrogen therapy during pregnancy or during the immediate postpartum period. Estrogens are ineffective for the prevention or treatment of threatened or habitual abortion. Estrogens are not indicated for the prevention of postpartum breast engorgement.
Estrogen therapy during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of congenital defects in the reproductive organs of the fetus and possibly other birth defects. Studies of women who received diethylstilbestrol (DES) during pregnancy have shown that female offspring have an increased risk of vaginal adenosis, squamous cell dysplasia of the uterine cervix, and clear cell vaginal cancer later in life; male offspring have an increased risk of urogenital abnormalities and possibly testicular cancer later in life. The 1985 DES Task Force concluded that use of DES during pregnancy is associated with a subsequent increased risk of breast cancer in the mothers, although a causal relationship remains unproven, and the observed level of excess risk is similar to that for a number of other breast cancer risk factors.
The Esclim™ estradiol transdermal system contains estradiol in a polymeric adhesive. The system is designed to release 17Ò²estradiol continuously upon application to intact skin.
Five systems are available to provide nominal in vivo delivery of 0.025, 0.0375, 0.05, 0.075, or 0.1 mg of estradiol per day via skin of average permeability. Each corresponding system having an active surface area of 11, 16.5, 22, 33, or 44 cm2 contains 5, 7.5, 10, 15, or 20 mg of estradiol USP, respectively.
The composition of the systems per unit area is identical.
Estradiol USP (17Ò²estradiol) is a white, crystalline powder, chemically described as estra-1, 3, 5 (10)triene3, 17Ò²diol. The structural formula is:
The molecular formula of estradiol is C18 H24 O2. The molecular weight is 272.39.
Esclim (estradiol transdermal) transdermal systems are composed of a soft, flexible, rectangular foam backing material with rounded corners, covered on 1 side with a self-adhesive polymer matrix which contains estradiol and pharmacologically inactive components. The adhesive surface is covered by a transparent protective release liner as shown in the diagram below.
The active component of the system is estradiol. The remaining components of the system (EVA copolymers, ethylcellulose, octyldodecanol, dipropylene glycol, polyester protective release liner) are pharmacologically inactive.
Last reviewed on RxList: 1/12/2005

The main frame of the GLOCK pistol is constructed of high-strength polymer that is resistant to shock, caustic liquids, and temperature extremes. The milled steel slide and the barrel are treated with matte black Tenifer finish for extreme resistance to wear and corrosion. The Tenifer treated steel and polymer frame make the pistol impervious to corrosion caused by perspiration and humidity when carried close to the body, or kept in a holster for extended periods of time. The frame has checkering on the front and back straps, providing a non-slip surface; finger grooves on the front strap and a finger rest on the front of the trigger guard aid in fire control. The slide cycles on 4 hardened steel guide rails within the frame. A white-dot front sight and a white-bracket rear sight provide rapid acquisition in dim lighting situations. All GLOCK pistols fieldstrip easily without the use of tools. The GLOCK G26 Semi-Auto Pistol is a reliable, easy to maintain firearm that's perfect for everyday carry, or a backup for security personnel.

Francophone women's groups in minority situations and ICTs
"Francophone women are less likely to use the internet than Anglophone women (40.4% compared with 55.3%, respectively)" says a survey report released lately on the Womyn's Voices website. In the spring of 2002, 50 women's groups working in minority situations in Canada were surveyed on the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs). The project's scope is limited, looking at Francophone women's groups working in minority situations. Also since statistics tend to change rapidly, especially concerning ICTs, the data presented may not be an accurate account of today's reality. It remains a valuable assessment for APC, not only for better understanding its current projects and members in francophone Africa and Canada, but also in preparing its new website in French.
e-Learning module developing electronic communities
The Information Management Resource Kit (IMARK) steering group announces the release of its newest e-learning module 'Building Electronic Communities and Networks'.

It provides an overview of the benefits and opportunities offered by online communities for facilitating knowledge and information exchange.
Beyond tools: Technology as a feminist agenda
In this piece published in the March edition of the Development Journal, Chat Garcia Ramilo argues strongly for a feminist agenda on technology. Drawing on the discussions at the AWID Forum, she shows how within the framework of women's rights technology is a determining factor in women's sexuality, representation and exploitation, and has to be seen as one more facet of violence against women. She calls on the feminist movement to engage technologies as a site of feminist political struggle. Download the article in PDF format.
North African regional wireless training workshop
Between the 12th and 16th of July 2006, an APC-organised North African Regional Wireless Training Workshop will take place in Morocco. Wireless technologies offer developing countries an important low-cost, versatile alternative to wired infrastructure. They enable communities to extend the reach of cabled internet connectivity and to be in control of the planning, implementation and design of their own networks. Applications need to be in by the 19th of May.
WOUGNET's report on the 'Post-WSIS and Uganda's way forward" workshop
In close collaboration with the Collegium for Development Studies at Uppsala University, Sweden and civil society groups in Uganda, APC-member WOUGNET has recently made a report available. The general theme of this report is the process and outcomes of the United Nations World Summit on the Information Society, with special focus on internet governance, censorship and human rights issues, as well as on the Uganda's way forward.
APC board and staff meet in South Africa

So near yet so far: Bangladesh awaits a smoother ride to cyberspace
So near, yet so far. Bangladesh is keenly looking forward to having an easier, more affordable and smoother ride into cyberspace, as APCNews staff writer Frederick Noronha finds out. In the eighth most populous country in the world (population 144 million), voices from civil society, the media and industry are increasingly surfacing, as this piece – filed from Dhaka in late April – demonstrates.
Empowering women through capacity building
What does a director of a Paraguayan women's organisation and a rural Colombian teacher have in common? For APC member in Colombia, Colnodo, the answer is clear. It is their capacity of using information and communication technologies (ICTs) as tools to empower women. This is the reason Colnodo celebrated the Women's Month, in March, with courses, workshops and seminars aimed at making ICT accessible to women from different regions and realities.
Wireless connection record in Venezuela: With the feet on the ground and the head in the clouds
A detailed study of Venezuela's topography, a trip to Italy, some pieces of 'public domain' software, satellite dishes that cross mountains on all-terrain trucks, cables, generators. This is neither a capricious list nor are its elements surrealist digressions. The elements that we have just enumerated are part of an ambitious endeavour that recently became a reality: to break the world wireless connection record by establishing a 279 km long link.
Telecentres in Brazil: training builds strength
Telecentres are a model for community ownership of information and communication technologies: a model that works and is gaining strength, according to various successful experiences in Latin America. APC member in Brazil, RITS, is a civil society organisation committed to this new logic which is based on solidarity.
Without communication, you're (economically) dead - Willie Currie
He was involved in broadcasting and telecom policy work in South Africa during the transition to democracy, and in the immediate aftermath of the 1990s establishment of the Mandela government. In the field of policy for the past 15 years, Willie Currie is now APC's manager of the Communications and Information Policy Programme. In an interview in Dhaka, Bangladesh in April, he explains what the Association for Progressive Communications is concerned about and the important policy issues plaguing our times from an APC point-of-view.
A chat with Chat: "Getting women's content online is a priority"
In between short gaps, and while waiting for the meetings – at the first APC-organised information and communication technology (ICT) policy workshop in Dhaka, Bangladesh – to start, APCNews staff writer Frederick Noronha talks to APC's women's programme manager 'Chat' Garcia Ramilo about APC WNSP's work, priorities and initiatives. 'Chat' took over the APC WNSP challenge in 2004 and works on the policy work of the Women's Networking Support Programme.
21st century maxim: the personal is political in the Korean blogging world
"There's power in getting people to talk. When voices get online, and can express themselves, this in itself unleashes a whole new chemistry." Hana Kim – better known by her cyberidentity as 'Dalgun' – clearly understands the relevance of her work. Soft-spoken Dalgun is part of the APC-member Korean progressive network Jinbonet (jinbo.net). She talks about the tactics she is involved with to get youngsters to blog. APCNews has met her in Dhaka, Bangladesh in mid-April.
"The Burden of The Struggle" - Engendering change in ICT policy
Cheekay Cinco, member of APC WNSP, interviews Nancy Hafkin, woman pioneer of networking and ICTs development in Africa on her thoughts about the current gender and ICT policy environment.

Gender equally matters: Taking GEM to the heart of India
From April 24 to 27, the Datamation Foundation and the APC WNSP are organising a gender-evaluation methodology (GEM) training. APCNews has met Cheekay Cinco, one of the co-organisers, in Dhaka. "At the end of using GEM, one of the main outputs is an evaluation plan that incorporates gender. So, it's not just about answering questions, but about identifying different stages in an evaluation, and where you can involve gender in those stages." Read the full interview on the APC women's programme website.
Digital divide creating imbalance in society
A business report filed in The Daily Star of Dhaka, Bangladesh, on Thursday April 20 reveals that "Top policy makers yesterday termed digital divide dangerous for the country, saying it is creating imbalance in the society." Quoting Bangladesh's principal secretary of the prime minister it goes on saying: "Digital divide is already existing in Bangladesh and widening very fast. Majority of the people do not have access to computer and education…it is very dangerous." The article has gathered many more voices at the first Asia ICT policy meeting organised by APC in Dhaka.

Fry me kangaroo brown, sport! Aussies tucking into more native animals
Wild boar, rabbit, goat and venison may rank as alternative foods for carnivores around the world, but a slowly growing industry in Australia is taking to lesser-known native animals.
Australian farmers are reporting an increased demand for local game supplies as they make their way onto restaurant menus -- particularly in Melbourne.
Pubs are beginning to order game meat for their bistros. Philosophically, consumers are taking to game due to its environmentally-friendly, methane-free qualities.
A native food revolution? Not quite. But there is a push for these meats to gain more local and international attention, reports The Age.
''They're fussy eaters, they like to eat the farmer's best pasture,'' executive director of Flinders Island Meat, James Madden, told The Age.
But other fussy eaters are taking to the fine-textured, mild wallaby meat -- it's often confused with lamb, but said to be the indigenous version of veal.
It's now hopping its way onto some of Melbourne's best menus. Sarti, an Italian restaurant in the city, has a bush tucker variant on the wallaby fillet: served up with white asparagus cream, charred green asparagus, wattleseed oil and wild blueberries.
Emu has a deep, red color and is a rich meat. If you're not turned off by now, it's also low in calories and fat. Nash Cowie, of Wangara Poultry and Game, told The Age that the emu's popularity has soared and it's now the favored big bird, ahead of the ostrich.
The Plume, a Chinese restaurant in Doncaster, Melbourne, serves a sautéed emu fillet in spicy sauce.
Delicate, free-range, north Queensland croc meat has an increased export market to China, but is also a good replacement for chicken or pork in southeast Asian curries.

Pleasanton Parenting Profain Children
Original post made by Kimberly Croddy, Vineyard Hills, on Dec 30, 2011
I am the mother of a 5 year old boy who attends Valley View elementary. I have not yet had to deal with teenage angst. However, what is going on with all the teen age swearing. Is it that parents have more to worry about? My guess is that this angry girl would probably never talk like that in front of her parents. I hope I do a better job raising my son, so that he knows the values of society. There was no need for her to become angry and swear profanely. I should be able to go to the park and back without fear of nearly being hit and then told I am a "******g **t ***ch". I hope that Pleasanton really is a community of character, but it does not really feel that way.

In all my years, I've found girls to be meaner, nastier, more emotional, and more vicious than boys,and in general more trouble than boys. However, recently, I'd say all these problems apply to both these days.

Pomp, arrogant, entitled little darlings. Like mommy, like daughter...
Pleasanton pretends to be a "Community of Character"
It is a heavily right wing viral community of angry snobs.

In directly addressing the orginal post, I get the impression from my son that a lot of the profanity used away from home and adults they know is to impress their "friends" and be at a higher standing in their social circle. While teens everywhere tend to be very self-centered and obnoxious, especially when in groups, the majority of teens (girls and boys) in Pleasanton are not vulgar towards strangers. Remember too, teens are trying on various personas to figure out who they really are, part of this is experimenting with a "tough" outer shell. You are right, you should be able to go to the park with your 5 year old and not hear profanity. Though my son is now 16, I remember when he was little, leaving local parks when the high schoolers arrived because the behavior was one I didn't want him to be around.

I reminder when my daughter turned twelve. I thought she had been kidnaped and I had been given another child. She started acting out and was not pleasant to be around. She thought she was always right and that her parents had no idea about the real world. This went on until she turned sixteen. I guess I should be glad that my old daughter was given back to us. She would slip into her old ways every once and awhile, but as time went on she was really nice to be around. There may be hope for these teenagers. Think back to your childhood, were you perfect when you were away from your parents?

on Dec 31, 2011 at 12:49 am
Okay, how do you know these were Pleasanton kids? And even bid they were, are you implying this is a problem with just Pleasanton kids and not something that exists with teens in general and not just with our town? Raise a teen or two and then revisit your post. Its not as easy as you think and teens are not robots or remote controls that you can set parental controls with.

Wow, time to jump in your Pious and drive out of town for good. If things are so bad here, you obviously need to get out now. No one will think of you as an angry snob for leaving, that would be giving you a complement.

I would have chased her down, followed her home and beat her mom's a$$....then said "yep, that JUST HAPPENED MOM"! All I am saying is that it would take that to be said to the wrong person who is fed up with their crap and take it to the next level. Happens everyday..maybe not here..but it happens.

Have a look at the list of activities listed above (in text and in photos), and see even more photos

facebook site.
For families who like the idea of making a difference to the local community, we strongly encourage you to engage in a community service project . Those families who have tried it invariably list it as one of the highlights of their stay at LooLa. Here is how it works: you typically help improve the quality of life for a single household in a nearby village, for instance by building beds, donating mosquito nets, painting the house, or (our favorite project) building a waste water garden - which gives a local family once again access to clean water, while protecting the environment at the same time. Such projects are quoted strictly at cost, typically a few hundred dollars. If interested, please ask us for more info!
Isabelle and Marc founded LooLa in the belief that a good business can and should benefit all other stakeholders too: our local community, our staff, and our clients.
Our local staff, as always, have risen to the task and are now in the process of taking full ownership over these
systems and conducting interactive eco tours for our guests.
The task we have set ourselves for 2015 is to optimize our eco systems, and use them for an engaging education
program for both local and foreign guests.
The owners of LooLa, Dr. Marc van Loo and Ms. Isabelle Lacoste, have taught at schools and universities in Singapore since 1991. Isabelle was founder and Coordinator of a 500 student strong French Language program at NTU, and is currently President of the Association of French Teachers in Singapore, as well as IB CAS coordinator at GESS. Marc was Professor of Math and Physics at a local affiliate of CalState U as well as Coordinator of Critical Thinking at NTU, and has taught highschool mathematics and physics at ACS(I), SJI(I), UWCSEA, and GESS. He is chief editor of an authorative Cambridge University Press book on the IB Diploma (detailed educational resume is posted on this book site).
We have developed (and continue to review) LooLa together with Outdoor Ed specialists from visiting schools to ensure we continue to deliver the best educational programs this region has on offer.
This approach has made LooLa the market leader as a destination for overseas school trips. In 2010, for instance, we ran around 100 (!) school trips, including 8 level camps, and our regular school visitors include Singaporean schools (at Primary, Secondary, ITE, Poly and JC level) as well as most International schools based in Singapore - See here for a more complete list.
Objectives met by our programs:
"Every student in Singapore should visit LooLa."
- Varatha Rajan, Head Of PE/CCA, Seng Kang Sec
"My students' overnight trip to Bintan to place used computers in
needy schools was one of the most outstanding community service ventures
I have ever been a part of."
"In a nut shell, our Sec 3 camp was EXCELLENT! I have done numerous camps both locally and abroad
for the full level (i.e. with over 300 pupils each time) and LooLa ranks right there at the top.
I dare say that I am already thinking of camp LooLa 2008!
"The stay in LooLa was the best I ever had in terms of activities and programme ... LooLa is unique,
the staff is wonderful, and mindful of safety at all times. The food is excellent. Some of my students
actually cried when they had to leave!"
"2 weeks after the trip and still my students are raving about LooLa. In all my years
of taking students on outdoor adventures, LooLa is by far the most exciting and
challenging adventure resort I have ever been to."
Schools are strongly encouraged to participate in our CIP (community) programs. Do a sports or arts exchange, do a joint eco tour, build roads or beds, make a difference for orphans, install mosquito nets, adopt a local school, install a waste water garden! The possibilities are endless ... see previous section for more!
A note on our quality and safety standards for overseas school trips
PUBLIC PLEDGE on Safety
As a member of the global sustainable business community, LooLa believes that high standards for quality and safety are in the best interest of all stakeholders. As such, we are proud to be a part of an expert community-driven initiative to build and maintain such standards with an open source principle.
The standards at hand were initiated by a dozen of Singapore's leading practitioners from both the public and private sector, whose pooled experiences span well over a century of senior man-years. They articulated a set of high standards that reflect the best of their joint wisdom in order to serve all stakeholders, with safety and quality being paramount.
But good standards are not static. They must constantly evolve to reflect the latest wisdom.
LooLa believe this is best done by engaging the community:
As such, we hereby pledge, publicly:
Our intensive facilitated company events.
These events are fully customized for those who seek to define or strengthen vision, true leadership, and constructive and effective communication and feedback at all levels. Anther key issue that could be addressed is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) - how about announcing to the world that you are a Carbon-neutral company? (you could that by simply adopting an extremely affordable planting project in Indonesia!). And then there is conflict management, coaching issues, personal efficiency, time management, project management, and sales training.
These courses would be run by highly qualified instructors from our tried and tested pool of Singapore-based corporate trainers.
Our budget do-it-yourself
company events.
These events develop corporate team bonding & leadership through challenging but fun programs involving climbing, ropes courses, flying fox, sailing, kayaking, boating, CSR projects, and (overnight) expeditions to survivor island!
You wish to do something really different, truly unique, and profoundly moving? Then add in a life and company changing community service - possibly the best way to bond and unite your company in a common goal.
Our resident staff organizes the activities, and you'll be provided with help sheets to conduct your own evaluation.
|LooLa Adventure Resort has,
since its opening in August 1999, taken the educational community by storm.
Both international and local schools have embraced our concept, and many
schools have decided to integrate our programs in their curricula, with more schools following suit all the time.
Developed and owned by two teachers, LooLa brings together the latest educational insights to promote team spirit, self-confidence, leadership skills, and a sensitivity for the local community; but above all, to have an unforgettable experience ...LooLa runs two types of summer camps:
First, we have our ongoing camps with Centaurs Rugby, and with CUFA Football. In these camps, kids get to enjoy not only the fabulous LooLa experience, but they will also hone their Rugby or Football skils with the experienced coaches from our partners.
These camps come with a social mission: to host a group of local orphans and local students at LooLa and create an experience all kids will cherish for a lifetime (organize a fun tournament, do LooLa activities together,
bake pizza's together, and campfire party).
The other type of camp is LooLa's own 6-day holiday camps
Our summer camps for teens (U18) challenge the students by engaging them in a sustained and meaningful community project over which they are supposed to take full ownership, but other than this, the camp will be filled with robust and exciting activities specifically tailored to this age group.

The formula for success for a family bonding trip is this:
Unite the family members in a happy and exciting location, with no chances for external interruptions; a location which naturally guides everyone to the only option: happy play together!
That place is LooLa: there's no neighbors and no TV (unless you really beg for it ;-) ), but there's a whole lot of very enjoyable yet challenging activities that create mutual trust and bonding.
Try to get a kayak to go where you want - we've got kayaks that hold between 2 to 10 people! Climb a coconut tree together, but after the dad secures the son, reverse roles: son belays dad!
Or spend the night together on survivor island ... the list is endless.
Of course LooLa's staff will be in the background to make sure things are safe, but there's little that will do as much for fathers and sons to create a strong bond of mutual respect ...
Simply try to get 10+ father-son pairs together, and we're a go.
At a modest $ 700 per pair (twin-sharing, all-in, including ferry) or $ 550 per pair (dormitory style) for a 2N3D spectacular experience, this could well be the best family investment you've ever made ...
Please note that
we have stopped adding/updating this section since 2012, but of course Tripadvisor continues,
and we're very proud of our local staff for having received the highest
Tripadvisor accolades:
for three years running (2013, 2014, 2015) we're a Tripadvisor
world top 1%
family resort!
Singapore Schools
Hai Sing
International schools
Corporate groups and clubs:
Featured in:
Nokia Technical
Assistance Center: ' Let me start by
telling how much we enjoyed ourselves in LooLa. All the activities, food and
accommodation were great. On top of that, let me highlight the fact that your
staff has been the best I have seen so far in my five year stint in Asia
Parental feedback on our Summer camps: ' Michelle and Daniella still
rave about our camp until today. They say it was one of their best experiences
and would join your camp any time again. Besides having some of their good
friends with them, it was mainly David who made this week so memorable for them.
He had his group under control and made everybody relax and have lots of fun. I
believe he was able to analyze each child's character by knowing what their
weaknesses and strength were. I gather this all from the stories that came back
home as both of my girls returned with lots of confidence. I also appreciate the
professional follow-up by providing a write up about each child's
accomplishments during camp. If we are here next summer I will surely send my
girls to your camp again. Again thank you for making my children so happy this
summer. '
Pauline Chia's birthday party group:
'Just want to let you know that your resort was breathtaking and it was a real pleasure to have spent our weekend there. All my friends had
a great time and I had a great 30th BD celebration. '
Admiralty Sec sent us this after their
Sec 3 mass camp (since then, in 2010 - March 2011 alone, we ran 13 successful level camps!).
'In a nut shell, it was EXCELLENT! I have done numerous camps both locally and abroad for the full level (i.e. with over 300 pupils each time) and LooLa ranks right there at the top. I dare say that I am already thinking of camp LooLa 2008!
In greater detail, here goes:
The camp site was close enough for everyone to be in close contact with each other yet spacious enough that we did not get into each other's way during the activities. The absence of mosquitoes was comforting.
The tents were ingeniously built and sturdy [ note that since Jan 2010
we have beautiful dormitories for over 350 students!, the LooLa team], and provided comfortable accommodations for the pupils.
The huts were adequate and the in-house shower and water closet was a great asset.
The new 'hall' was splendid and became the focal point for all activities, eg. Meals, meetings, rest, assembly, games.
The staff at LooLa were friendly and helpful, always seeing to our needs and making us feel right at home.
Food was plentiful and good and I even had to request that the portions be reduced to prevent wastage.
There was sufficient drinking water at all times.
As to the Singaporean facilitators you engaged, the instructors were friendly yet firm when required. They managed to connect with the pupils from the onset and built rapport easily.
They facilitated the various activities very well and constantly engaged the pupils throughout every free moment.
They showed care and concern for the pupils and really put in their best to ensure that my pupils enjoyed the camp.
A testimony to your operations: my pupils did not want to leave LooLa and asked why they could not stay on longer.
Yes, you can ask Dul [LooLa's director] as he was there and even jokingly agreed to build a hut for them
if they stayed back!
And here you hear it from a student, Farhana, who was on the Tanjung Katong
level camp in March 2010!
Just to let you know the great feedback keeps coming, here is
Griffith Pri's and Broadrick Sec's feedback on their March 2011 trips:
Broadrick Sec on their March 2011 trip:
'Service rendered was excellent and we are glad that trainers are able to cater to our last minute changes.
Safety was never been neglected, bonding between the trainers and student were very pleasant.
The food and rooms were fantastic. Overall I would rate it excellent.
Thanks & Regards!'
Feedback from a small group of friends:
' We had the most relaxing weekend in LooLa's! As usual,
the weather there was much better than in Singapore,
so we got a very good sun tan and some sun burns.
For the first time in my life I was not just
participating on a boat but sailing myself - I just
LOVED it! It's so easy! Well, ok, we capsized twice
and my friend slid in the water a couple more times
but it was soo much fun!
We did kayaking, enjoyed the stars, loved our
chalet, its floor, the veranda - everything.
Another birthday party feedback:
' Once again I'd like to thank you & all your staff
for your kind hospitality. Thank you for letting us stay there over the weekend
and have the whole place to ourselves. My friend, Darren, said he had a most memorable birthday there.
We had such a great time and we'd love to come back sometime soon...
Singapore American
School, taken
from their website:
One mom sent this, ' I would like to thank you for letting my
son Andy go to Bintan on the weekend. I have never heard the word "awesome"
mentioned so many times describing this trip to us. I am sure this will be
his best memory of Singapore.'
Chatsworth International
School. Chatsworth runs their grade 5, 6, and 8
trips to LooLa, and this is what they have to say:
EtonHouse Primary school was one of the
first primary schools to visit us (in 2006, after which they came back three times in a row in 2007!),
and they taught us a lot about how to adapt the environment and activities to bring out the best for a school group of this age. Other than that, here is what they wrote: The kids had a wonderful time. Your staff were excellent. They were attentive to all our needs and made sure that everything went smoothly. The food was excellent; possibly the best I have ever seen in 35 years of attending school camps. Bravo! The rock wall was a big hit, and the boom netting was sensational: the kids are still talking about it!
Hollandse School (Dutch
School). The Dutch school runs their `groep 7'
(grade 5) trips through LooLa. They sent us this quote in 2004:
'Another world so close by. Three days at LooLa adventure
resort.....setting, activities and the dedicated staff are one of a kind. See
you all next year! '
ITE Bedok. After successful visits every year from 2001 onwards, the ITE Bedok is planning to
work together with the American School to develop LooLa's community programs
further, and help building up local schools.
PSB Academy sent us this wonderful note after their Jan 2008 trip:
The United World College. The UWC has visited us well over 20 times. Students went twice with telescopes for star-gazing trips (since the night sky is so clear at LooLa), IB students English did their oral exam at LooLa, and much more ... As a result, UWC decided in 2004 to offer LooLa as one of their week-long grade 9 trips. Out of the more than 10 local options, parents voted overwhelmingly for 'LooLa'.
Lycee Francais (French School).
The French school runs their yearly grade 8 trips with us since 2001. Here's what
they have to say:
Seng Kang Sec was the first Singapore Secondary school to visit us,
during the March 2002 holidays, with a group of 30 students (mostly from the TAF club) and 3 teachers. An extract of their quotes follows here:
The German European School
is a regular visitor to the LooLa Adventure Resort.
"Our school has visited LooLa for many years in a row now, and teachers and students
(including myself!) love the place, its activities and the ever-friendly, helpful and personable staff!
The experiential and outdoor learning programme at LooLa is now a key component of our curriculum,
providing our students with an opportunity to ³get out of school and learn about the world."
Yishun Town Sec was the second Singaporean school who visited us in March 2002.
They offered us this quote:
A group of families sent us this:
We had a really good time at LooLa and really appreciated our 2006 Hari Raya holiday weekend. LooLa's staff is amazing: always there to help and take care of everyone, and very professional and nice with the kids! Thank you very much, we are sure to come back!
Springfield Sec put it very succinctly:
"The stay in LooLa was the best I ever had in terms of activities and programme ... LooLa is unique, the staff is wonderful, and mindful of safety at all times. The food is excellent. Some of my students actually cried when they had to leave!"
Tanjong Katong Sec visited us in Nov 2002 for 4 days. Here's their comment:
Since those early days over 50 local Singaporean schools have followed suit, and their number is still mounting. See the growing list above!
Joo Chiat Community Centre was the
first community centre to visit us in July 2002. Here's their comment:
Church groups have recently also discovered that LooLa is ideal for an isolated getaway. Come and join us with your church!
Ferries to Tanjung Pinang
Typically, there are a number of ferries in the morning, just after mid-day, late afternoon, and then again at 6 and 7 pm.
Return times are similar.

Hello China!
We've recently opened an office in Shanghai and are in the process of introducing Chinese translations to our branding, website etc. I wanted to do some research first to get some tips on how we should approach this.
Ideally you should not have more than 30 characters on one line.
There are three traditional Chinese typefaces Song, Kai and Li. Studies on the legibility of the Chinese language online aren't common, but one study recommended the use of Song and Kai, rather than Li.
HTML: Charset Code
The character set for Simplified Chinese is GB2312 while that for Traditional Chinese Big5
HTML: Page titles
A lot of browsers will not read page titles in Chinese, so write the titles in English and separate the symbols with a hyphen.
Your website should include a guide on how to download the appropriate software in order to view the site in Chinese. This should be written in HTML English and an image/PDF written in Chinese.
Text as images
Some sites show important information as an image on their site in case of software problems. However, the obvious pit falls are that the user cannot increase the size of the font with an image or copy and paste text. So a PDF may be better.


text: Here is a little montage to one of my influencers, Nicky Haslam and his beautiful weekend retreat, Odiham Lodge. Nicky inspires me because he is one of those designers who refuses to be pigeon-holed unlike many others. The lodge itself could be perceived by some as a little dated - but again Nicky appears to believe that everything has it's place - and beauty does not diminish with trends - as in the words of John Keats "a thing of beauty is a joy forever". I can imagine that the lodge, like many buildings, has soul and could tell you about all the wonderful parties and romantic trysts that have undoubtedly taken place there. A quote from Nicky : "The house is so welcoming," he swoons. "It just loves people. Cecil Beaton and that world have been, and I've had some parties. The big hunting party for my 40th birthday was quite fun. It had rained for a week, but June 16 dawned and it was boiling. I had Cole Porter being played, jazz music, dancing, a tent, silver and mauve fireworks."

A public hearing concerning amendments to an ordinance regarding electronic message signs was conducted on Monday morning.
Marshall County Plan Director Ralph Booker presented the changes which include operational limitations, minimum display time, message change sequence, light intensity change, sign design and requirements for static message signs, motion message signs and video message signs. Setback requirements were also included.
Restrictions for a static message sign will have no flashing, strobing, or variation of light intensity effects where the effect takes place more than two times per second. Each message on the sign must be displayed for a minimum of five seconds.
A motion message sign shall be limited to static displays, messages that appear to disappear from the display, or similar transitions and frame effects that have text, animated graphics or images that appear to move or change in size, or be revealed sequentially rather that all at once. They should not be a distraction to drivers.
Video message signs are only allowed in areas where they cannot be visible from any motor vehicle traveling public street.
No members of the public spoke out in favor or against the ordinance. The three commissioners suspended the rules and unanimously approved the amendment on all three readings to put it into effect immediately. A copy of the ordinance can be found here: EMC Ordinance Amendments

text: Well first off I admit to being a bad beekeeper by not having my honey supers off yet. I've had two hives since the spring of 2010. So still very much learning and goin at it alone. Late August I had two supers on each hive that I know I should have taken off then but time permitting I took them off today. One hive still chocked full of honey and no problems but there was a lot of commotion at the second hive as soon as I pulled up. I could tell they were being robbed by every buzzing insect in the county. I was smashing yellow jackets and red wasps like crazy and trying to get the hornets too but only got a few, they're a little more intimidating. The top super had a few wax moth larvae which was a first for me. I was only sure it was moths because there was two adults. The honey was capped still but you could tell the honey had been tapped because the caps looked flaky and the cells weren't full. I was goin to come here and ask if the honey was salvageable until I got to the second super. The frames were full of larvae, yellow jackets, and just as many honey bees. There was moth webbing and little moth feces and the cells were pretty much destroyed. I decide to just hurry up and get the supers off to see if they were gonna be in the deep brood boxes as well. I didn't pull any frames up and look because I was in the middle of a cloud of robbing bees and wanted to get it closed up. Looking down into the frames it appeared normal other than some of the webbing that was sitting on top of the frames. I did scrape it off and there were visible bees down between the frames. I also closed the entrances down as far as possible. So I guess I'm looking for advice on what to do here and what's to come of this hive. After I got everything buttoned up and walked away. I wondered if this hive had already failed and nature was taking its course and that the present honey bees weren't from that hive either. Am I being gullible by hoping this colony will be able to defend it better now that I shrunk it down and closed the entrances down. I've actually been quite proud that I had hung on to the same colonies as long as I had.

Finally got everything installed. Leer cap fits nice and they matched the truck color. This truck looks black in the shade but it's really a deep green met.
It looks nice HM- seriously, that's a nice ride- and YES I would drive it if I owned it!
Congrats on the new ride--- now don't be afraid to go get it DIRTY
Very Cool. It should serve you well for many years.
Looks real nice man with shiny rims and a sleek profile!!!!!!!!
Sweet truck HM!
looks awesome HM !!! Congratulations and best wishes with your new truck. :thumbup:
:thumbup: Looks great Hm
I see you went with the longer bed option too HM, good choice!!
Nice ride. Should do/haul whatever you need. You can now sell your house and sleep in the back of your truck if need be!
after my share of the son's wedding in two weeks you may see me living in it! This is the last one no matter what!

Our goal was to make it to Big Sur and we even made it past, but the last part of the afternoon we spent immersed in fog. The road was windy and all bridges looked the same. We could hear the ocean down the cliffs, the screaming of the sealions, but we did not see anything. Quite spooky.
After googling pictures of the coastline we were quite gutted, but so be it. Another reason to come back.
