how to teach a dog not to be afraid of a bicycle?
I have a 35lb Catahoula and I wanted to teach him to go on bike rides to help him release some of his energy. I got the walky dog to make it easier. He's fine with the bike, if we walk together with the bike, if I sit on the bike and walk, and he heals to the right just like in our walks, but the problem starts when I peddle. Maybe it's the sound, but it really freaks him out. I'm sure it's not that we're moving faster, because I was going just as fast as when we walked with the bike. I don't know how to fix this. everytime I try to peddle, he freaks out and tries to bite my foot out of anxiety. It's the same behavior he had when I first got him and started training him. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I currently use a pinch collar when correcting him to heal on our walks, to sit, and stay. I don't really treat train, since when I got him, he was defensive and aggressive towards everyone and I got a trainer and it was the only thing that worked. Thanks for the help!

We've experienced the same problems with our GSP and the walky dog. The last time we tried I end up walking her and the bike home. At one point this 42 lb dog thought I was going to carry her home. She actually started shaking this morning when I just moved the bike in the garage to get something else. Since winter is coming I guess we'll try again next year.

My Dog does the same thing. He hates bikes, skateboards, any human on a wheeled object.
He does ok when we walk With the bike, or when we straddle, but once we put both feet on the peddles, he doesn't recognize us anymore and lunges at us. Its not good.
We're working with a trainer, and trying positive treat training.
First we started with a small object, the Skateboard in the house.
I would just have it around so he would get used to it, then i would put treats on it, and he would eat off it. Then I would slow start to move the board.
Eventually, I was able to move it faster and faster.
Then I started standing on the board. and tossing treats to him, (he knows "Place" so he wont move from his spot)
Then I started standing and moving on the skateboard. slowly.
Eventually, Now he is ok, walking with me and a moving skateboard. which is a Massive improvement. He still hates other people on skateboards.
to be continued.

You may be wondering, why would you want to go to the trouble of making something like notebook paper, when you can find it in a piece of stock art, or simply put a sheet of it on a scanner? There are two main reasons, I think. The first is flexibility. When you create artwork from scratch, you get to make every choice about how it looks. That's not the case when you use a piece of stock art and sometimes you have to settle for whatever you can find in a timely manner. That time you spend searching in vain could be spent drawing exactly what you want—and later on, if you're asked to change the art, you know exactly what can be done and how to do it, because you built it in InDesign. That brings me to the second advantage: efficiency. Every high-resolution photo you place into InDesign adds complexity and size to the file, and another piece to track in your workflow. You also have to maintain image files on disks and sometimes move them between machines. While storage is cheap and plentiful nowadays, that's not always the case with bandwidth. If I'm stuck somewhere with a slow Internet connection, I'd much rather have to retrieve a 75k InDesign snippet than a 25 MB Photoshop file.
But of course these advantages don't really matter if you can't get a look that's really convincing. In the movie, I accomplish this by using dialog boxes and panels to create, size, and move objects in a precise and consistent manner, rather than dragging them around the page and approximating. For example, the lines on the paper are easily achieved with paragraph rules.
This makes it very easy to quickly add as many equally spaced lines as I want just by pressing the return key on my keyboard. I can move them all at once by selecting the text frame (no grouping necessary). And if I want to adjust them at all, I can simply select the text and change the width, color, or offset in the Paragraph Rules dialog box.
Holes can be punched in the page using blending modes with the Knockout Group feature.
Another nice thing about drawing the pages from scratch is that you can copy and paste one of them to easily add as many more pages as you like. And you can add even more realism by reducing the opacity of the pages, so you can see through them just a little, as is the case with real notebook paper.
I also have another member-exclusive movie in the lynda.com library this week called Using multiple effects to create plastic type.
In this new movie, I show how to create a plastic-molded type look by layering copies of text with various effects applied to each one. If you've never tried the Pillow Emboss option, this effect shows you one of its uses.
See you here again in two weeks with another InDesign effect!

West Ham striker Carlton Cole credited manager Sam Allardyce for the 3-1 win over Chelsea in the Premier League.
The Hammers trailed to Juan Mata's opener at half-time but Allardyce brought on Mohamed Diame and his introduction changed the game.
Cole, Diame and Modibo Maiga scored the goals which left new Chelsea boss Rafael Benitez still searching for a win after three games in charge.
Cole told Sky Sports 2: "I've got to put it down to the gaffer's tactics, we were a bit defensive in the first half.
"We switched it around and put on some attacking players. Momo came on and did brilliantly and changed the game for us."
Cole started in place of the injured Andy Carroll and was pleased with his goal.
"I haven't had a good time in the Prem of late. I just knew if I kept working hard and training hard the goal would come."
Diame admitted that Allardyce had been right to rest him from the starting line-up.
"I played the two games against Tottenham and Man Utd I think I needed the rest," he said.
"After this game we are going to get confidence and keep going. I think we did well today. It is a great result for us."
Benitez is clear what he needs after two draws and a defeat.
"To win, it's simple," he said. "In the first half we just had to score more goals. We have to improve.
"We know that football has two halves, the game has two halves. In the first half we had two or three chances - we just need to score more goals."
Benitez defended striker Fernando Torres who once again drew a blank in front of goal.
"I thought the team had chances, not just Fernando," he said. "When you are attacking and you are controlling the game like we did in the first half, you have to score goals."
Allardyce was pleased his decision to bring on Diame at half-time paid off.
He said: "We started okay but when they scored we just lost our confidence. I think we lost our momentum.
"I just needed to make some changes, bring in some fresh legs. It was all about playing in the opposition's half, playing off Carlton Cole. I felt he was itching for a real good game.
"They can really enjoy their week now, have a bit of a rest the next few days and then come back ready for the Liverpool."

Brandeis Programs in International Justice and Society
Programs in International Justice and Society enhance the work of the international justice system by informing the general public about its accomplishments and challenges, providing discussion fora for both international and domestic judges on relevant issues of law and ethics, and encouraging interdisciplinary inquiry about international justice as well as human rights and complementary justice activities. The Programs also seek to introduce undergraduate students to the world of international justice through supporting courses on related topics and organizing on-campus events.
The world of international justice is complex and changing. Over the past several decades, a number of new international justice institutions have been established in response to specific events and to a generalized view that some kinds of judicial proceedings can best serve the interests of the global community. At the same time, many processes meant to complement international justice have emerged, such as truth and reconciliation commissions, localized forms of justice adapted to new circumstances, and various human rights endeavors. Neither institutions of justice nor complementary processes take their forms from legal notions alone; they are products of complex social realities and subsequently serve to shape these same realities. The field of international justice thus benefits from a multidisciplinary perspective that incorporates the insights not only of law but also of the humanities and social sciences.
Central to the formulation of the Brandeis Programs in International Justice and Society is the inclusion of intellectual approaches provided by literature, history, anthropology, philosophy and many other disciplines. The staff of the International Center for Ethics, Justice, and Public Life strives to enrich the experience of practitioners and "constituents" of international justice -- judges, attorneys, victims, witnesses, scholars, advocates and others--by developing programs that take into account of the full complexity of justice institutions and the work they perform. Students are also encouraged to study institutions and mechanisms of international justice in their full contexts.
A Brandeis library research guide to international justice, offering an overview of the field, was prepared by the Center. It can be found here.
A presentation on the Center's work in West Africa related to international justice and coexistence is available here.
Brandeis Programs in International Justice and Society are directed by Leigh Swigart.

WASHINGTON, Wednesday—Mrs. Grenville Emmet, wife of our Minister to the Netherlands, over here just for a few weeks and our old friends, Helen and Lucius Wilmerding and Mr. and Mrs. John Regis all came down for the last formal dinner of the year. Just before they arrived, my husband telephoned that the doctors had decided that James and Betsy's little girl Sara, must be operated on for appendicitis. She waked in the morning feeling miserable and complaining of a tummy ache and while one hates to have an operation, still it is probably as well to have her appendix out at an early age if it is going to bother her at all. She is apparently fairly comfortable though she doesn't quite understand what happened to her!
I was late in going over to the Women's University Club for tea, and felt very guilty when I saw how many people were crowded downstairs waiting to come up and greet the receiving committee and myself.
After dinner Admiral Byrd and I had to go down to the Diplomatic Reception Room as he and I spoke at the beginning of the "No Foreign War" program which Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick closed from New York City. After the radio speech was over, the Movie-Tone men concentrated on us. I have never been successful in talking naturally for the newsreels so for some time I have insisted that I should be seen and not heard. They made such a point however, of my welcoming Admiral Byrd into this phase of peace work that I finally spoke one little sentence and I only pray that I shall not regret this lapse from my usual procedure. It would not matter so much only I think it hurts any cause to have someone take part in any part of it and do it extremely badly.
I got back to the East Room just in time to see one dance and to hear one song by the members of the Pine Mountain Settlement School of Harlan County, Kentucky and then one group of tricks by Dr. Sydney Ross, a magician. When the young Kentuckians were introduced to my husband he was very much interested to find that one of the boys was named Turner. Years ago when my husband was riding through Harlan County with his Uncle, Mr. Warren Delano they spent the night with a family named Turner who were kind to them.
At ten-thirty this morning I went out with my brother to look over his new railway and was much interested in this type of bus which runs on tracks or can leave the rails when necessary. It opens up possibilities for speed and convenience in travel in the future.

Hillary Clinton probably doesn't like being compared to Sarah Palin, who almost made history as the first ever female vice president of America. That doesn't mean they don't have a lot in common. For example, Hillary does not appear to regularly read any newspapers or magazines. She seems to gets all of her news forwarded to her by her inner circle of obsequious bootlickers, and then orders lesser peons to print it our for her. According to a recent profile in Vanity Fair, the arrangement has prevailed for decades.

The many impeachable offenses of Barack Obama can no longer be ignored. If after all this he's not impeachable, then no one is.
This is a great idea for several reasons, and should appeal to Americans of all political stripes. In fact, it's basically a no-lose proposition for everyone involved. Here's why:

Jan 5th mum here learned my Golden Snitch has a 'natural' talent.
We were in the local grocery store, we'd finished shopping & checking out. Snitch's 'fan club' had gathered around to give him their usual greetings. We shop late at night & they look forward to us coming in as it breaks up the last hour or so that they work. Snitch's favorite among them is the manager. We bumped into her in another store a few months back on her day off, ever since then he thinks she's family, he adores her. Tonight she was soaking up the extra attention from Snitch, bragging to everyone that Snitch loves her best, he is sitting as close as he possibly can to her & working the puppy eyes. At that moment one of the employees comes over with a pink envelope to hand the manager. She takes it with her 'free' hand without getting up from petting Snitch. She turns to look at me, as we are talking. Snitch takes this moment to casually remove the money stuffed (though sealed) envelope from her hand, casually gets up, brings it to me & sits front. "Here mum." lol It took the manager a moment to realize what Snitch had done, he had 'snitched' it so well. Everyone was laughing before she had even noticed. They all claim I taught him this gift & taught him well. Ah, I deny everything... ;) Contrary to this story, no, he was not named after a thief, but the enchanted quidditch ball in Harry Potter, he just loves to bring people things!!! :D

I hadn't banked on the weather. Almost all the British staff at work had friends or family over to visit, and the weather was trying to make them feel at home by being much worse than the mild winter that England was currently enjoying. By the time I got off the plane, the rain was pouring and a strong wind had decided to visit straight from the Antarctic. I spent a chilly and damp afternoon scurrying between coffee shops and cursing my decision not to pack that extra fleece, before hopping on the bus to Kaikoura, to meet Mum and Dad.
We drove over gently rolling hills and past vineyards, reaching the coast slightly south of Kaikoura. Fierce waves pounded upon the rocky shoreline, licking the edge of the road and covering it with spray. It was the spectacular side of New Zealand weather, but at least the rain had stopped, and I was soon tucked up in our backpackers, enjoying a glass of wine.
The following day dawned clear, and we cheerfully headed down to the Whale Way Station to join a whale watching trip. By the time we got there, however, the sky had turned an ominous grey and rain was threatening. The boats had all been cancelled for the day, and we were faced with the task of finding something else to do in Kaikoura. We decided to brave the weather, and embarked on the clifftop walk above the town. We climbed up above the stormy ocean and watched a colony of seals clinging to the rocks out to sea. Moving was a perillous activity as powerful waves washed over the creatures. We walked over the clifftops to a second colony, as the sky lightened, eventually gving us views of the snowy peaks of the Kaikoura mountains.
Hungry after all the fresh sea air, we went into town for a late lunch, and tried the local freshly-caught crayfish. (Kaikoura is named for it's crayfish- in Maori, kai means food and koura means crayfish). It was beautiful, and went down well with a glass or two of wine!
The next morning was an early start- crystal clear skies and our second attempt at whale watching. We were in luck, the trip was on. We got on the coach to the wharf and boarded the catermeran, received our safety breifing and were off... Until the engines shuddered and the propellers refused to turn, being too clogged up with seaweed washed into the harbour by the previous day's storm. We were going nowhere. Half an hour later, the skipper gave up and we disembarked- as two other cats shot out to sea. It looked like our chance of seeing whales was scuppered. After a lot of hanging around, a coach finally arrived to take us back to the town, where we were lucky enough to get three of the few remaining seats on a later trip.
The 10.30 sailing arrived. We had fingers crossed, legs crossed, toes crossed... The engines went! The boat moved! We were off, chasing whale noises! Our luck had changed and it wasn't long until we saw our first sperm whale, lying on the surface like a giant log and blowing spray from his blowhole in a leisurely fashion. He soon came up for a last breath, and dived, his back arching until his tail flipped up into the air and he sunk from view. The size of him became clear as we watched the length of him sliding through the water; it was a breathtaking experience to be so close.
As soon as he vanished, we were off again, tracing another whale. We had the perfect viewpoint- blue sea, snow-capped mountins and the sperm whale spurting water in a leisurely fashion, until he slipped beneath the waves. We saw one more whale after this, a huge creature who got to within a few metres of him. As we headed back to land we detoured to meet a large pod of dusky dolphins, full of joi de vivre as they leapt, twisted and somersulted through the air.
It was an amazing trip, worth the wait and the false starts! Slightly later than originally anticipated we were on the road, off to Christchurch.

Obama ran a near perfect campaign and defined Romney very early in his campaign as a rich guy who don't relate. Truth is they all are quite rich, including Obama. Bias media coverage of Romneys on camera comments sure did not help public perception either.
I believe most people are fiscally conservative. No one encourages frivolous spending. Romney lost votes due to social issues plain and simple. Did the media further peoples' concerns? Sure. Had Romney not identified himself as an enemy of women's rights and marriage equality, especially by throwing Paul into the mix, he would have won. The election was close. He didn't need to win over a lot more people to have taken it. There would have been enough people that voted on social issues that may have taken Romney, had he been a bit more neutral on those issues, that he would have won.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Wilbur will be in our thoughts and prayers. Joe
Last edited by sharon b; 10-03-2012 at 09:37 AM. Reason: Removed political reference
Hi everyone,
I just picked up a 99K, not bad, but the clear coat has problems, kind of looks like alligator skin in parts? Came in a cabinet, which I figured out was a blonde cabinet, the top was sanded, and stained but it did not end up nice. On the legs it looks like the stain/finish, is just flaking off. I will take pictures later today.
I am curious what other ways are there to finish a cabinet, that look good?
I was doing a search and found different ideas, has anyone tried something like this?
If you are buying that machine for yourself forget the financial value. Other than insurance it's really just a waste of time worrying about it. When repairing the wood, you have a lot of leeway to work with. Last June my SIL in Indiana gave me a Singer treadle machine and cabinet. Whoever gave it to her had used it for an aquarium stand. The veneer on the hinged top cover was falling off, the ends of the cabinet were separating from the wood underneath and cracking as well.
I used a hack saw blade and worked Elmer's Wood Glue Max between the separated areas then clamped them down real good. I was able to save the deck of the cabinet.
There were also many other places where the veneer was separating from the wood beneath. Those I put back together with a plastic credit card used to push the glue between the layers and clamps. Clamps are your friend.
I decided to replace the veneer on the hinged top lid rather than repair it. I believe that was a mistake in this instance. Had I simply glued it back down I could have sanded it and filled in the few missing pieces and the end results would have been no worse than the veneer I used. Possibly better.
I wasn't trying to "restore" the cabinet, but to refurbish it back to functional condition while still retaining it's old appearance.
I think I succeeded for the most part. As soon as I'm finished I'll post a thread on it.
Here is another idea,
And I think this would work for a cabinet too.
What do you all think of painting a cabinet?? I wouldn't do this to my parlor cabinet! But, maybe would be a good option for a basic cabinet?
I suppose they could look pretty nice, though I personally wouldn't do it unless we move. One of the things that drew us to our current house was that most of the woodwork had never been painted. If I lived in a modern house I'd probably consider it.
As for finishing products, I'd suggest shellac. The solvent is just alcohol and it doesn't contain any heavy metal drying agents.

Thanks Joe, I should have posted pictures first, but here it is and I don't have one showing the worst part of the top and you can see there is some missing on the part that move when you raise the machine and I am not worried about that because it isn't falling off. might just do some sanding to even it out there. When I open the top it is good there. It's just the part you see when the machine is closed. By the way I don't plan on having the machine closed very much. The main reason to have one of these is to be able to see the machine.
The machine needs a little cleaning and a belt and that is all. The needle goes up and down very smooth and that surpises me because of the damange on the top. I would have thought it would have rusted and been stuck, must be because of all the oil they needed to add to these machines back in the day. In the picture you can't see the plate because I had already started to clean the machine and was working on the bobbin area.
Hi Anamaria,
Yes, I have seen the 'restoration' method on Treadle On. I think that is what i am going to try on my Parlor cabinet.
But, this new cabinet, which was a Blonde wood cabinet, has been stained, and the finish is coming off the cabinet legs which were not sanded before staining. The top part of the cabinet the stain is not even, looks like it soaked in, in spots, and some areas are rough and smooth?? So, was trying to see what would work for it without stripping it. Thank you

Q: Greetings Val, you've won another Diamond League meet in Paris. If you weren't throwing metal balls around the Stade de France, what would you do in the city?
I love to roam around famous sights like the Eiffel Tower and people-watch. Tourists are great. You can tell the Americans. They're always: "Oh my gawd, where is this? Where is that?" whereas the Europeans and English can be really oblivious to hawkers. It can be hilarious watching them get sucked in. Those guys who walk around rattling mini Eiffel Towers tend to hang around.
Q: Could you see yourself living in Paris or Switzerland permanently?
Never. I've got a house in New Zealand and that is home. Switzerland is a second home. I know I can be away around nine months a year and it can be a b**** getting back, but I love it.
Q: How useful is it to speak fluent French rather than relying on third form stuff where ordering a ham and cheese croissant is the extent of your powers?
It's awesome, Paris is one of my favourite Diamond League meets as a result. I find it is a knowledgeable track and field crowd too, which creates a really good atmosphere.
Q: I saw on your Twitter account @ValerieAdams84 that you had to fork out 7 for a cappuccino near your hotel the other day. Surely that's a bit on the nose no matter how fluffy it is on top?
Yeah, what a bloody rip-off. Mind you, they put us up in an awesome hotel which looks out on the Eiffel Tower. It still took us an hour to get to the stadium, but hey, it's Paris.
Q: Once you become Dame Val Adams after the next Olympics will you still keep your number in the phonebook like Sir Ed?
Oh c'mon (laughs), it's three years to Rio, anything could happen.
Q: Seriously though, earlier in the year at the Pacific Showcase Market, the place practically see-sawed to come down the far end of The Cloud to see you compete. What does that mean to you?
It's important to get the public involved and bring track and field to them. They celebrate what we do but it's not always available. That's what made that day great; it was free, people could bring their kids along, get a decent feed and hang around to watch some shot put. There was a buzz in the air. It's great having people behind you because when they're pumped, you're pumped.
Q: You suggested a Sonny Bill Williams v Joseph Parker bout for the New Zealand heavyweight boxing title recently on Twitter. What prompted that? You should be in marketing...
I know Joseph Parker well. We went to the Delhi Commonwealth Games together and he's a good bloke. I'd like to see him get a shot. It's only fair. People came back and said Parker's a boxer, Sonny Bill's a rugby player so it'll never happen, but I just put it out there. I reckon it'd be a good fight. Joseph obviously wants it, so why not fight for it; otherwise give it up.
Q: You'd be able to get ringside tickets?
(Laughs). Yeah, maybe (shrugs).
Q: Here's another one which I know will get you on your soapbox. How do we solve Auckland's public transport problems, because over here [in Europe] trains and buses come left, right and centre?
I know. Switzerland public transport gets you to places in no time. They come at least every 10 minutes (clicks fingers) not very hour.
Q: What are you telling Len Brown, Val?
Obviously it is pretty hard to solve and involves a lot of money but if you're out east you can't get a train into town. You might have to ferry from Halfmoon Bay. There's also nothing direct from east or south to the North Shore.
Q: Kiwis just love their cars too much, don't they?
Yeah, we do, but if public transport was reliable and on time I reckon we'd use it. People say it's expensive but in Switzerland I pay 160 francs [$210] a year to get a card that lets me get on anything half price.
Q: Clumsy segue here, but do you play any musical instruments?
Nah, maybe the triangle ... ding, ding.
Q: What are you listening to at the moment, then?
Three Houses Down. They've got a few new sounds out. I used to go to church with them. They're a good bunch of boys. Also Ladi6, six60 and RDX when I'm competing.
Q: Do you still go to church?
No, I used to be a Mormon, I got married in a Catholic church and I believe in God but I'm a fairly free spirit at the moment.
Q: Seems like you're creating your own destiny.

Some unusual new molecules—long, hollow fibers with tantalizing electronic and mechanical properties—have joined diamonds and graphite in the carbon family
Boris Yakobson, Richard Smalley
For the past few years materials scientists have been eagerly
exploring the properties of fullerenes—geometric structures
built of carbon atoms. Recently a new fullerene has joined the
buckyball, the striking cage built of 60 atoms. Scientists have
found that the buckyball structure can be extended to form long,
slender tubes—carbon nanotubes—that are single molecules
comprised of rolled graphene sheets capped at each end. Computer
simulations and laboratory experiments show that these tubes have
extraordinary resilience and strength and various unusual
properties; for instance, they can abruptly and reversibly snap from
one shape to another under load, and they can be formed into very
strong ropes. They also exhibit electrical conductivity in a
quantized fashion that has lead to experiments with tiny nanowires
and nanoscale transistors. A number of practical applications are
now being explored, although manufacture of such incredibly small
molecular wires poses enormous challenges.

It's been proven time and again on CatholicMatch that enthusiasm for online dating is not a prerequisite for success. The archives of our success stories are filled with examples of men and women who had deep doubts about using this medium to meet new people, yet found themselves paired with the love of a lifetime nonetheless. Today we turn our attention to the East Coast, where couples in Florida and Connecticut were the latest examples of skeptics turned into believers.
Alberto overcame initial skepticism to put his profile online, but as soon as he saw from friends on the site he removed his picture, lest he be embarrassed. But instead of giving up on the whole concept, he adopted a different approach — "I knew if I was going to meet someone without a picture my profile had to be poetically spectacular, sincere and filled with grace."
His profile was written well enough to attract Marling, who was also located in the Miami area. They shared a first date at an Adoration Chapel and that was the keynote to a relationship that would be filled with many more adventures and even included starting an entrepreneurial venture together. They are planning for their future together and excited about what lies ahead — and in case anyone is curious, Alberto did e-mail Marling a picture prior to their first date.
Mark was no less skeptical about finding someone in an online dating site and even after creating a profile, he wasn't particularly serious about using the site. A wink and a smile — online style — changed his mind.
Kristine sent him a wink and he winked back. They've been exchanging real-life winks and smiles for over a year now. "We just thought we would find email buddies on here until we discovered each other," Mark told CatholicMatch. "It's been awesome ever since."
And in between Connecticut and Florida, there is the success story of Ricardo and Patricia, shown in the photo above. Their first date was love at first sight. They still waited and made sure those initial feelings were real, but after a year together he proposed and she accepted. Congratulations to them, to Mark and Kristine and Alberto and Marling. And to all others seeking and finding that special someone on CatholicMatch.

Anyway, I've been meaning to join a speakers club for a while and a few weeks ago I went along as a guest to one in Stanmore. They're part of the Toastmasters International network of speakers groups.
This is some information from the Toastmasters website:
Welcome to Toastmasters International
Looking to improve your speaking and leadership skills? Ignite your career? Win that job interview?
You've come to the right place. Since 1924, more than 4 million people around the world have become more confident speakers and leaders because of their participation in Toastmasters.
Toastmasters International is a world leader in communication and leadership development. Today, our membership is 260,000 strong. These members improve their speaking and leadership skills by attending one of the 12,500-plus clubs that make up our global network of meeting locations.
Membership in Toastmasters is one of the greatest investments you can make in yourself. At $27 every six months, it is also one of the most cost-effective skill-building tools available anywhere.
How Does It Work?
- A Toastmasters meeting is a learn-by-doing workshop in which participants hone their speaking and leadership skills in a friendly atmosphere. A typical group has 20 to 40 members who meet weekly, biweekly or monthly. A typical meeting lasts 60 – 90 minutes.
- There is no instructor in a Toastmasters meeting. Instead, members evaluate one another's presentations. This feedback process is a key part of the program's success. Meeting participants also give impromptu talks on assigned topics, conduct meetings and develop skills related to timekeeping, grammar and parliamentary procedure.
- Members learn communication skills by working in the Competent Communication manual, a series of 10 self-paced speaking assignments designed to instil a basic foundation in public speaking.
That was copied and pasted directly from the Toastmasters website.
My experience was pretty much exactly as outlined above. My group meets once a month and there were about twenty people there including around four to five first timers like me who were all there for the same reason, to learn or polish their public speaking skills. I found the atmosphere to be very supportive with an emphasis on constructive evaluation - everything gets evaluated, including evaluations of evaluations! But this is the best way to learn, in an environment where everyone is in the same boat and everyone wants everyone else to do well.
As well as prepared speeches there was a section where people had to give a short off the cuff speech totally unprepared which they call 'Table Topics'. I gather that they choose something different each month as a subject, this month the idea was to give a short acceptance speech for a fictitious (and ludicrous) award that you had just won. I was chosen and I had to give a convincing rendition of why I was delighted, surprised and grateful to win the Best Nuclear Power Plant Designer Award. :-) It was a lot of fun.
There is a curriculum which I haven't seen yet but presumably starts with easy tasks and gets harder as you go along, but I shall report on that next time I go (which for me will be in September). But I'll definitely be joining.
I hope you enjoyed this article and I'd be delighted if you'd leave a comment. If you're a business networker and would like to connect on one of the lesser known business networking sites (and perhaps discover a few new ones) you can contact me via my About.me page via my profile at the Profiled.com website and via the one page professional profiling site, aptly named.

The kiwi population is decreasing by approximately two per cent a year, a statistic that could mean extinction on mainlain New Zealand within our lifetime. Fortunately, increasing attention is being paid to these creatures in an attempt to see our national bird flourish once again.
Kiwis for Kiwi, an independent charitable trust formed a year ago, is leading the charge for kiwi conservation. The organisation supports established communities protecting kiwi throughout New Zealand, ensuring that they have the necessary funds and materials for their work.
This October, Kiwis for Kiwi is looking to expand its reaches with the first ever Save Kiwi Week, a campaign that aims to raise funds and awareness for the kiwi crisis. The inaugural event will run from October 14-20 and is a call to action for all citizens. Executive director Michelle Impey says: "It's about encouraging people to get out and understand what they can do to help."
A goal is to raise $100,000 which will protect 1000 kiwi. There are five DOC sites and more than 85 independently established community groups throughout the country.
These communities have taken it upon themselves to create pest-free sanctuaries. From installing predator-free fences to setting up trap lines to planting trees; they're eliminating the risks to kiwi survival.
Prior to mammalian contact kiwi used their feathers as camouflage on the forest floor, allowing them to hide from predators that hunted by sight. However, the introduction of mammals such as stoats, rats, ferrets and pigs - which hunt by smell - was bad news for the distinctly scented kiwi. Now, these predators pose the biggest threat to the kiwi population.
Often abandoned by their parents after hatching and unable to defend themselves until they reach a weight of one kilogram (at around six months old), 95 per cent of kiwi in unprotected areas are killed by predators before they reach breeding age.
If they are lucky enough to reach this milestone, the three leading causes of death are cars, ferrets, and dogs. The latter of these is the focus of a strong advocacy push during Save Kiwi Week.
And while these efforts may seem futile in the face of depressing statistics, there is evidence that the work being done is effective. In the Coromandel for example, where at least six separate community groups exists, the kiwi population is doubling every decade.
According to Impey, it's little armies of citizens who are making enormous impact.
Former All Blacks coach Sir Graham Henry is joining the battle to save the kiwi with a unique opportunity. Those who register on the Kiwis for Kiwi website will automatically be entered into a draw where one lucky winner will be chosen to hang out with Henry for the day, travelling to a nearby island sanctuary and releasing together one special kiwi back into the wild.
Other sponsors include the Department of Conservation, Trade Me, Air NZ, Mr. Vintage, and long-time supporter BNZ.

Get Involved
Want to join the ranks and help kiwi? While there are plenty of communities across the country, you don't have to go far to get involved. In the Auckland region alone there are four conservation groups looking for your help. These are: Mataia Restoration Trust, Tawharanui Open Sanctuary, Motuihe Island Trust, and Motutapu Restoration Trust. For more information, email email@example.com or go to kiwisforkiwi.org
Dogs dinner
Those with a pet dog can be part of the problem - or the solution. Taking dogs into environments where kiwi are present can be fatal, no matter how family-friendly the dog may be. One way to reduce the risk of a dog attacking kiwi is to take the pet to aversion training which teaches it how to ignore kiwi. It won't guarantee complete kiwi protection, yet it will reduce the risk dog-related attacks.

Bristol City open Albert Adomah talks
Skysports.com understands that Bristol City are set to offer a new contract to star winger Albert Adomah to fend off interest from rival clubs.
The Robins snapped up Adomah from League Two side Barnet last summer, and he has wasted little time in settling into life in the Championship.
Having played nearly 50 games this season, Adomah has shone for Keith Millen's team and he is the leading contender to land their Player of the Year award.
Now City are opening talks with Adomah about a new deal in order to put off any rival interest and reward him for his excellent debut campaign.
Interest from other clubs has been growing in recent months, and skysports.com understands that as well as a number of Championship sides watching him, there have also been scouts from the Premier League keeping a close check on his progress.

GoW: GoS not running smoothly
1 replies 313 views Edited Mar 21, 2011
i just bought ghost of sparta. downloaded it through media go and transfered it to my psp. it's not running very smoothy on my psp. not as smooth as chains of olympus ran.
i notice it the most during cut scenes. a lot of skipping going on. visual and audio. it's not that bad during gameplay. but enough to cause an annoyance and for me to turn it off.
anybody else have a problem similar to mine?
i have a psp-3000 and software is up to date.
note: i owned chains of olympus in UMD form.

Female rapper and hotness Lil Kim
Lil' Kim is a multi-platinum rapper and singer who was known to be the only female rapper to achieve such distinction for having to have won 5 mics awards for her album The Naked Truth. She also won a Grammy award for her role in the music video Lady Marmalade which included other big name artists like Christina Aguilera, Missy Elliott and Maya. But what made her infamous is the fact that she has been closely linked to Bad Boy Records, a production outfit owned by former partners Sean Puffy Combs (P. Diddy) and the late Notorious B.I.G. who was Lil' Kim's mentor and rumoured secret lover. She was even found guilty when she was convicted for perjury and conspiracy when she lied before a grand jury about her friends' involvement in a 2001 shooting outside a famous Manhattan studio. She was thrown in the slammers for more than a year where she dedicated her time writing over 200 songs. Lil' Kim is one dedicated artist to her cause and it is really funny to have come across some of her fake porn pictures across the Net and we decided to gather some of them and you can see them at Lil' Kim Fake Porn Pictures.
I guess this is one way for Lil' Kim's adoring (or sleazy) fans to dedicate such time and effort to come up with graphic images of some pornstar's body and paste her face on all of them. If you're curious enough to see more of her fake porn pictures, then click here and enjoy all of her ingenious images at Lil' Kim Fake Porn Pictures.

On this date in 1800, Charles Knowlton, M.D. was born in Massachusetts. Freethinkers pioneered the movement to prevent unwanted pregnancies, and Knowlton was one of the earliest of the freethought reformers. He earned his medical degree from Dartmouth College in 1824. As a medical student, Knowlton was jailed for two months for exhuming a corpse for anatomical studies. He became an ardent foe of the influence of Christianity, writing Elements of Modern Materialism (1829), in which he identified himself as an "infidel." Fruits of Philosophy; or, the Private Companion of Young Married People (1832), tackled the subject of birth control before that term existed. Knowlton dispassionately made the case for preventing conception, and promoted a syringe-administered douche. The first edition was anonymous. The book was published in nine U.S. editions, and was reprinted by subscription by a group of doctors at Harvard Medical School in 1877.
Dr. Knowlton was prosecuted and fined at Taunton, Mass., in 1832, and was sentenced to three months' imprisonment at hard labor in the House of Correction in Cambridge in December 1832. He went directly from jail upon his release to a freethought society in Boston run by Abner Kneeland, where he delivered "Two Remarkable Lectures," referring to superstition as the "moral monster." He was unsuccessfully prosecuted in Greenfield, Mass., at the instigation of a minister. Knowlton's groundbreaking work was reprinted in England by various freethought publishers. British atheists Charles Bradlaugh and Annie Besant republished it in 1877 to challenge the Obscene Publications Act. They were prosecuted and tried, narrowly avoiding jail. The case shot the book's circulation from a thousand a year to a quarter million in England. Besant rewrote the dated text into Law of Population in 1879, which became a bestseller and helped to hasten the birth control movement worldwide, but lost her custody of her daughter. Knowlton was considered one of the leading freethinkers of his era. He was a delegate at the Convention of the Infidels of the United States, meeting in New York City in 1845. D. 1850.

I don't know a whole lot about carberators and any info is helpful, I would like to find a 4 barrel carb that would work well with both type of engines if possible . I had a 9000 series carter thermo quad in there but I guess they don't make those anymore so I would like to find some sort if manufacturer of a new carb that will work , I don't really want to go the rebuild route if possible, if anyone knows any sites or distributors or have any info at all , it's much appreciated thanks

Different beekeepers are trying to achieve different objectives, and while some principles remain the same, the routes are different.
For example, some here will be trying to turn around a treatment-dependent apiary, while others like myself are starting from scratch with bees we calculate may be capable of being treatment free from the start. (My best bet are ferals, as in the UK no bred resistant bees are available)
For the first group, a driving strategic aim will be to try to locate the most resistant, and requeen the worst, thus maintaining numbers.
For the second group the strategy will include building numbers first - to be able to lose bees without having to start over, to be able to start to raise the resistant drone population, and to have bees to make bees. This thread is addressed to the mostly to the needs of this second group.
We'll want to quickly form a view of best goers, and have them raise lots of drones. One of the dangers it appears to me is that in our rush to build numbers we make splits, and that doing so both obscures the resistant qualities of the mother hives and perhaps inhibits drone raising in them too. Both these things could lead to unnecessary failure in the breeding process.
If -if - mother hives are protected from mites through the act of splitting, we might mistake less or unresistant hives for resistant ones - and graft and split more from them. Or build them, and have them put drones in the air, only to find them overloaded with mites in the autumn.
If - if - mother hives _are_ resistant, then splitting might reduce drone numbers - and they are as important as good mothers.
Both these things could lead to rapid loss of apiary resistance.
That's why, while I appreciate the need to build numbers fast, I'm cautious about splitting as a way of getting there. It could easily lead to failure by inducing false readings as to real mite resistance qualities and resistant drone numbers.
And that's why I'm going with dedicated brood/bee raising hives, and dedicated drone hives.
Preserving true readings (of mite-management capacity), and acting upon them, is everything. Anything that interferes with that essential assay process threatens to undermine the whole effort to raise bees that can cope with mites themselves.
I think routine splitting for increase (whether building numbers or sales) is a dangerous road to go down. There is a more professional way. Manley speaks of queenright cell building colonies (of a kind he specifies) as rearing 'lots of choice drones'[1]. An integrated methods that needs all the needs of queen raising, drone raising, brood raising and providing true readings is possible. Maybe others in the same position would like to talk more about this here?

At the age of 22, Lisa Jakub had what she was supposed to want: She was a working actor in Los Angeles. She had more than 40 movies and TV shows to her name. She had been in blockbusters like Mrs. Doubtfire and Independence Day. She walked the red carpet and lived in the house she had bought when she was 15.
But something was missing. Passion. Purpose. Happiness.
Lisa had been working since the age of four, after a man approached her parents at a farmer's market and asked her to audition for a commercial. That chance encounter dictated the next 18 years of her unusual - and frequently awkward - life. She met Princess Diana...and almost fell on her while attempting to curtsy. She filmed in exciting locations...and her high school asked her not to come back. She went to fancy parties...and got kind of kidnapped that one time. Success was complicated.
Making movies, traveling the world, and meeting intriguing people was fun for a while, but Lisa eventually realized she was living a life based on momentum and definitions of success that were not her own. She battled severe anxiety and panic attacks while feeling like she was living someone else's dream. Not wanting to become a child actor stereotype, Lisa retired from acting and left LA in search of a path that felt more authentic to her.
In this funny and insightful book, Lisa chronicles the adventures of growing up in the film industry and her difficult decision to leave behind the only life she had ever known, to examine her priorities and to write the script for her own life. She explores the universal question we all ask ourselves: what do I want to be when I grow up?
©2015 Lisa Jakub (P)2015 Lisa Jakub
"No doubt!"
For many of us, our knowledge of Lisa Jakub ended after she decided to leave her film career in LA. This audiobook autobiography perfectly captures the journey of rediscovery that Lisa has undertaken since then. For readers of her blog, social networks and vlogs, having her read her own words in such a candid and personal way is a joy which will move you to tears, laughter and audible gasps! It did me! I thoroughly recommend the book and audiobook.
"Author opens up about life and living. "
I've listened to the audio book two or three times now, and it's just as captivating each time. She tells her story clearly enough and thoroughly so that you feel her pain, anxiety, joy, cheers, and everything in between.
"Enjoyed this very much"
Lisa is an excellent writer who is also an excellent audio book reader. Her life story is very interesting and frankly gave me a look into how I view "celebrities". Her spplicstion of humor is very well done and makes the book quite engaging. It is a look into apart of life that many of us will never know and Lisa gives a personal look into the beauty of an "ordinary" life. Well done.
This book as excellent. Honest, interesting, and inspirational. Infused with humor and humility; Lisa Jakub is a wonderful writer. I can't wait for more books by this author.
"Fascinating story"
About a girl who was really good at something she didn't want to do. I was impressed with how well in touch she was with her feelings and weaknesses. She fought them for a while and tried to change, but finally realized who she was and moved on. Congratulations.

Bruins still taking it 'day by day' with injured Adam McQuaid
|01.28.14 at 8:02 pm ET
Claude Julien didn't have much of an update on defenseman Adam McQuaid Tuesday evening, reiterating that the defenseman, who the team has classified as day-to-day with a leg injury, isn't ready to return to the lineup.
McQuaid did not travel with the team to Philadelphia or New York for the team's recent two-game road trip and has not played since leaving the Jan. 19 game against the Blackhawks.
"I haven't paid much attention to that because he is not ready to play yet," Julien said Tuesday. "Whether that's some news for you or not, he's just not ready yet. We're just taking it day by day and waiting for the medical staff to say we can take that next step with him."
McQuaid has not been skating, according to Julien, but the coach said he is at least doing some activity.
"I think he's working out," Julien said. "Again, when guys are injured they are kind of out of my control until they tell me they're ready. So I think he has been working out but I don't know to what extent."
With McQuaid out, Kevan Miller remains in the lineup for the Bruins.

Boogie Board Tablet
I work in technology and I was pretty sure I had seen everything until recently when I got the opportunity to try the Boogie Board Tablet from Improv Electronics! The Boogie Board is an LCD Writing Tablet that eliminates the need for having a ton of pads of paper laying around your house! At my house we write all of our grocery lists on pads of paper and then they get misplaced and we have to start again. The Boogie Board as solved this issue for us!
I had the opportunity to try the Boogie Board 8.5 LCD Writing Tablet. It is the original Boogie board and is extremely lightweight at only 4 ounces and very thin at only 1/8″. I was surprised by how light the tablet was! I expected it to be much bulkier despite the description but it was not! It features an
The Boogie Board is SO easy to use too! You can carry it with you or mount it to a cabinet or your refrigerator (which is what I plan to do) and you no longer need note pads or sticky notes. You simply write or draw your message and it will stay there until you use the erase button! You can use almost anything to write on the Boogie Board! It comes with a stylus but you can even use your finger! When you're ready to erase, simply press the button and begin again.
This has been great for compiling our grocery list through out the week. We simply add items as we need them and then transfer it all to a sheet of paper before we head to the grocery store. I suppose I could take the Boogie Board to the store with me but I haven't tried that yet.
Save paper with the Boogie Board LCD Writing Tablet from Improv Electronics!
I can see the Boogie Board being great in the classroom (and at home) for practicing letter formation, sight words and spelling words, and working math problems without using sheets and sheets of paper. I think the Boogie Board tablet would also motivate reluctant learners by offering a different way of doing things. I would have loved to have a set of these in my classroom when I was teaching first grade!
These are also on the affordable side when it comes to technology and Improv Electronics offers a variety of Boogie Boards in addition to the original Boogie Board 8.5. They also offer the Boogie Board 8.5 for binders which offers the same amount of writing space as the original but can clip into a binder with 2, 3, or 4 rings! If you're looking for a larger writing space, the Boogie Board 10.5 is available. The newest tablet is the Boogie Board Rip and it allows you to save what you write or draw on the Boogie Board and then upload it to your computer! This would definitely be useful in the classroom!
Buy it!
You can purchase the Boogie Board 8.5 on the Improv Electronics website for $39.95 (it's also available in colors for $41.95) or on Amazon.com for $34.95. On Amazon it also qualifies for FREE SUPER SAVER SHIPPING!
