It's my birthday, I just turned 3 years old, mom says I'm a big boy now! I am outgrowing all my cute clothes that mom got me. Something about I was only supposed to be 9 pounds. No one told me I was supposed to stop growing when I reached 10 pounds. I am a hefty 17 pounds of loving, nothing "toy" about me so mom has to get me new stuff. That's ok "cause mom likes to shop. I am glad that the snow is going away, I love the snow, but Juliette doesn't. We will be able to stay out in the yard longer and keep all those rotten old squirrels out of our yard. Mom got me some special treats for my birthday and a new toy, she says we will go shopping and get some more things. She said there are stores I can go in and pick out what I want, I can't wait to go there. Mom says she has to go get dinner ready, she is making me something special. Bark some more later
Wow I can't beliueve how long it has been since I wrote last!!!! I have been very busy. In May, Juliette and I went to Ocean City and meet Jay-Jay and Murphy, Flecken and the weiner dogs for Bark on the Boards. We had a good time and best of all I didn't even haver to get out of my stroller. Mom keeps me in there 'cause I have issues with other dogs, I don't know why she thinks that, but I am happy to be pushed around. In June we went to Yorkie Day for Save a Yorkie rescue in Pennsylvania. There we meet all kinds of yorkies, big, small, all different colors, it was a great day. I rode in the car and only got sick once. Mom said I am all grown up now and has let me out of the kitchen when they go to work. Grown up means that I have stopped chewing up everything and shredding all the papers, well most of the time. I still like to get in some trouble to keep mom on her toes. I will be here 1 year in less than a month and have done a good job of barking at everything that moves and protecting my home from people,and of course birds and my arch enemies the squirrels. I am really feeling that I belong here, I get baths,toys, and good food,walks, loving, but then there is the VET, but I guess that is part of them loving me too. I have met so many new friends here, and sadly lost a few too, mom has gotten some good advice to help me out. I am glad there are so many friendly people and pups here. Well I think I almost wrote a book here, but it has been a long time!! Well take care my friends and I will try to write more than every7 months or so.
Well mom finally got on the ball and added new pictures to my page. Now you all can see just how cute I am. Of course mom put in pictures of me being bad, if mom doesn't lock the snack cupboard I get into it. And the one of me and Jules playing, honest we are playing. Mom is going to try and jazz up my page, it may work and it may not. Mom isn't exactly a computer wizz..............but she tries.

ESPN's Ed Werder tweeted that the Tennessee Titans now know that quarterback Jake Locker should return in four to six weeks from his hip and knee injuries. This is a drop from the previous outlook of four to eight weeks. Ryan Fitzpatrick remains the starter until Locker's return.
Fantasy Analysis:
The former Washington Huskies signal-caller was playing very well before his injury. The risk of a quarterback controversy is almost nil. Locker led Tennessee to a 3-1 record and he was ranked around QB14 in fantasy leagues, depending on the scoring system. Fitzpatrick will need to keep defenses honest with the passing game and not rely too heavily on Chris Johnson . It should be an interesting few games to watch to see if the Titans and maintain a winning record.

I'm writing this review on my new Acer Aspire, which I must say seems to be a step up for Acer. I was initially dubious about paying almost £850 for an Acer, with them traditionally known for lower end machines, but a personal recommendation from a friend seen me take the plunge.
Over the past fortnight I've had no obvious troubles with the machine, aside from the expected set up issues. One particular gripe of mine is the plethora of bundled Acer software that comes with the laptop, all of which I could easily live without.
I have carried out a number of processor intensive tasks so far, including transferring over 180 Gb of music and video, during which the processor and hard drive performed admirably. This is my first Windows 7 system, but I'll leave operating system issues aside and focus on the machine itself. To be fair it does handle Windows 7 seamlessly.
Battery life is much as expected, with a full charge giving anywhere from 2.5 hours to 4 hours depending on tasks. The case is neat and stylish, and around 3Kg won't pull the arms off you if being transported.
I'm not so sure about the fingerprint reader though. Whilst I have no use for it, the novelty value had me investigate and it didn't always recognise my hand, even though I'm the only one who has ever laid a finger on it. If you badly need a reliable fingerprint reader, it may be worth testing this one before committing.
I'm happy with my purchase, and my Acer operates 12 hours a day without problems, mostly for work but it's also well equipped to play some of the online games I see my evenings in with!

Am I experiencing love bites or misdirected aggression with my cat?
I've been reading online about love bites and that they are redirected aggression. I thought this might be what I'm experiening with my cat, but there's one thing that doesn't quite fit. Before she bites me, she grabs my hand with her paws and puts it on her head like she wants me to pet her, then when I start petting her she starts biting me. Is this misdirected aggression, and if so why does she act like she wants me to pet her if she really doesn't?

Sacred 2 - Hands On Preview @ IGN
IGN has posted their impressions of an early look at a multiplayer model of Sacred 2:Fallen Angel, Ascaron's sequel to their popular action rpg, Sacred :
Drop everything and pay attention: in Sacred 2: Fallen Angel you can ride giant tigers...
...So, without further ado, let's talk about not riding giant tigers - because you can only do that in the single-player game, which we weren't allowed to have a go at.
Yes, during our brief hands-on with the game, we didn't get to straddle any big cats. We did, however, sample the game's four-player battle mode, offering a taste of how the combat works in Sacred 2. In multiplayer, each player begins by choosing one of four different characters - Dryad, Shadow Warrior, High Elf and Seraphim. We tried playing as all four and, to be honest, the only significant differences appeared to be cosmetic. For instance, the Shadow Warrior is a brutish bloke with heavy armour while the Dryad is a female warrior dressed a bit like a Native American...
...Anyway, having picked characters, all four players are transported to a randomly selected battle area. We played across both a lush green forest area and desert setting, replete with canyons and dried-up river beds. Once there, players have five minutes to kill as many enemies as possible. You see, the aim of battle mode is to build up your character's strength - by bashing monsters - before heading to a gladiator-style arena and taking on your fellow players in a fight to the death. If you've killed lots of foes, you can improve your abilities (including a magic fireball) and collect better weapons, which all help in the PvP scrap...
...In all frankness, we've played more thrilling things in our time and would have much preferred the opportunity to tackle Sacred 2's single-player mode - if only to ride that giant tiger. However, Sacred 2 could still shape up to be an interesting addition to [the] glut of RPGs available on PC and we're eager for some extended hands-on time with the main adventure.

- - End Plate Effect (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/general-discussion-sailing-related/96952-end-plate-effect.html)
End Plate Effect
Can someone either describe this to me or point me towards a website offering a good explanation? I haven't been able to find a decent source of information (and maybe a diagram or two) to satisfy my curiosity. Thanks
Re: End Plate Effect
End plate effect is about making the outer end of a foil (wing) more efficient. End plates are typically associated with keels. End plates offer theoretical advantages in two ways. First is the minimization of loss of pressure difference between one side of the keel at the keel tip and the other is in reducing tip vortex and therefore reducing drag.
In a heeled boat, the pressure differential at the bottom of the keel is reduced by water slipping off the tip (bottom) of the keel. This reduced pressure makes a proportion of the lower keel area less effective. The end plate caps the bottom of the keel directing water aft so by adding a plate at the end of the keel the pressure cannot 'leak' as much.
But also, as a boat makes leeway water slips off of the high-pressure side of the keel to the low-pressure side of the keel and creates a turbulent swirl know as a tip vortex. This mass of swirling water is towed behind the keel creating drag. The longer the keel, the bigger the vortex, the greater the drag.
The end plate reduces both the pressure drop and reduces the size of the vortex. These are also related to the reasons that a deep-high aspect keel is more efficient than a shallower fuller length keel. It is rare to see a boat with a true end plate, but it is very common to see newer boats with bulbs, Scheel keels and so-called wing keels, all of which do two things, lower the center of gravity of the ballast in the keel, and provide an endplate for the keel. At typically designed, none of these act as wings.
I hope this is helpful,
Re: End Plate Effect
Whereas the "top" of a keel foil varies, depending upon the tack one is on, if one is attempting to use "end plate" effect on the keel to improve efficiency, the end-plate must be symmetric, extending outward on both sides of the keel (which also concentrates weight at the tip of the keel improving righting moment). The search for "end plate effect" also extends to sails in some cases, accounting for the evolution of "deck sweepers" or head sails that actually reach and "sweep" across fore-decks as the yacht is tacked (although the frequency with which these sails also scooped up water in rough head-seas limited their effectiveness and eventually put paid to their wide spread use).
It is an interesting but rather esoteric subject and whether it measurably improves performance aboard a yacht really is debatable. For more, Google "wing tip vorticies" and related terms.
Re: End Plate Effect
Its funny....both you and I were correcting my poorly written version of my explanation (written last night but corrected this morning) at the very same time. I think that a simple end plate would not do much for performance over a mixed course (beating, reaching and running) but these carefully modeled bulbs which improve stability as well as providing some vortex reduction and lower keel efficiency have clearly resulted in some performance gain. Neither of us touched on the fact that the hull serves as an endplate at the keel and rudder root, and in the case of the rudder, having this end plate can delay aeration of the rudder.
Re: End Plate Effect
You may be too young to remember it, but the great debate about Australia II's winged keel, and its performance during the 1983 AC competition involved, in part whether the performance enhancement resulted from the yacht's lowered CG or end plate effect:
The lack of end-plate effect on the top end of rudders where a portion of the rudder extends above the water in old IOR style yachts, can make aeration a serious handling problem. I once proposed installing winglets--similar to Doelfins--on the top of the rudder, with a positive dihedral angle, just below the point where they would have touched the hull with the rudder at its stops, on a boat we raced on in the mid-80's, to prevent aeration but the owner dismissed the idea. "Just watch for bubbles in our wake" he instructed (to warn us of when we were about to loose it and needed to ease the pressure on the yacht). I think it would have worked but...
Re: End Plate Effect
'Induced drag' is a good search term for learning about tip spillage and end plates.
Here's a false-color model of induced drag:
And this photo gives you an idea of the energy dissipation (in the form of drag) entailed by tip vortices:
Some planes have added winglets to try to limit air from leaking around the foil's tip. They work, but the effect is most beneficial in planes with stall-prone wingtips, or in commercial applications where small inefficiencies can add up to millions in fuel costs. In the low-speed, high-wetted-surface world of recreational displacement sailboats, induced drag off sails & foils mostly vanishes in the noise.:)
Re: End Plate Effect
When I read the title to this thread, I thought it would be a decussion about the effects of a loose footed main vs. the foot attached to the boom.
Re: End Plate Effect
Thanks for your post Jeff/ Hylyte...I learned something useful today:):)
Re: End Plate Effect
Thanks for the great explanations. When I posted, I was thinking of end plate effect as pertaining to a keel, but lancelot brings up a good point about a loose footed main: Is the radius of the boom on an attached foot main enough to limit or eliminate the end plate effect?

Flights Interview - November 2011
by Jodie Humphries
I was lucky enough to be able to see Flights for Live-Music-Scene on one of the first dates they played in Bristol. The band impressed me back then, and since, Joe, Joel, Adam and Dean have continued to impress me every time I've seen them. Catching up with three of the guys between demoing, it became even more clear what good mates they are, and the fact that they seem to have a clear obsession with Nandos - endorsement opportunities there maybe?
"Me and Adam have been playing together since we were 13, playing in several terrible bands through school like Cradle Of Fluff," Joe tells me. It's at this point that Adam jumps in saying "Don't name them," and Joel reveals, "I always enjoyed the name Alcoholic Spider." "That was a good one. Every time I see an auntie or relative I haven't seen in a while, they go 'Alcoholic Spider still going is it?'" Joe laughs. "We all come from Thornbury so we all used to play in the same pubs, we all knew each other from that – Joel played in Enigma Design. Then I went to university and met Dean – me, him and Adam played together for a while in a band called Just For Hustlers – where we played grime and heavy music. Then we thought 'let's do something different', so we got Joel on board as him and Adam had been talking." "Yeah me and Adam used to get drunk every Friday and decide we wanted to start a band, then Joe phoned me up and sorted it out," Joel explains.
Taking the reins to answer how they would describe their music, Joe jokes, "Pretentious, over the top, useless." As they laugh, Adam says, "We've fallen into progressive rock – soundscapy too I think." It's their various tastes coming together that forms this sound Joel says; "There's such a cross-section of music of all our tastes and they all end up in there. There's some that are more prominent than others, but I think there's probably about five to ten bands that we could name check that we all have in common - so like Oceansize, Radiohead, Reuben and Yourcodenameis:milo, and after that Dean brings in all his mongey tastes."
Chatting about their debut EP 'Flights', Joe explains, "With the EP we were trying to write as big as possible and as quiet as possible, and everything in between, I suppose just trying to do that turns us into prog rock music." On the subject of the tracks on the EP, Joel says, "'The Mapmaker' and 'The Pretence' were one song until after we recorded them and just split them down the middle, putting one at the front and one at the end. There's definitely an air about that first EP of us just being excited to be playing music together." The band are currently working hard on an album at the moment; "It's going well – it's sounding a bit different to what we did before," Joe says. So as not to scare those who are particular fans of their current sound, Joel explains, "It's the same sort of thing…I think it still sounds like us, we haven't moved away from what we originally were; we think it's more mature and we're cutting out a lot of the fat that doesn't need to be there."
"I think we'll play all the songs live before we go into the studio – I really want to do an album that works well recorded and live so that there aren't songs which we say 'fuck me, we can't play that live, its impossible'," Joe says on the next release. "It's a massive learning curve. It's about self-editing, now we've had practise at doing single edits and I think those edits sound better than the longer versions, we have to go through that process before going into the studio. It's a case of being harsh –it's not us writing long songs for long songs sake – you can be proud of it being a long song, but you have to do what's best for the song." Looking back on the recording of their self-titled EP, Joel says, "I think Adam was good at that when we started writing the songs…I can remember quite a few instances of him saying 'are you sure this isn't a bit too long?' The problem is, when we're playing live in a room, we all love it when we can lock into an idea and just build it and grow it, and that's a really organic way to play and we love doing that, but you can't do it at a gig. Anyone who doesn't have an instrument in their hand will be like 'this is a bit long isn't it?', so unless you give everyone a triangle or shakers…."
"We're not going to bludgeon people over the head with a seven minute song unless it works in the flow of the album," Joel went on to say. "I think 'Eleven' – which is the working title, is the heaviest song we've done and that clocks in at three and a half minutes, but it still hits harder than any other song we've done. We'll still retain all parts that are us, but we'll use them (in ways that are) a little smarter. We're pretty fortunate with Joe's studio as well – we can demo things right from the very first ideas. Me and Joe can sit there in the evening and bosh together a very rough skeleton; then we can come back with new ideas and build it up from there." As the band demo a lot of their material in Joe's studio as they're writing it, Adam says, "You can see how the song progresses over time – you can look back and see how the song has been shaped because you completely forget how it started."
Flights are clearly proud of being part of the Bristol scene as when asked how they would describe it, Joe says, "There's a lot of different styles and I think it's thriving." All three were keen to say how great it is having the Fleece back on top form and saying what a great job Tim Bailey is doing; "They are just getting in bands that would never have touched Bristol," Joel says. It's not just the guys at the Fleece Flights admire though; "Sam Betts at the Louisiana gets in great bands like all the BSM bands." Joe continues, "And Dean at Offbeat is really good as he gives bands a first chance; he gave us our first two or three gigs. There are a lot of bands who are really interesting; there are a lot of leftfield bands really. There's not just a scene of people doing straight up indie rock. It feels like there is something simmering underneath; I feel there's a group of bands who have all got the same outlook. We don't necessarily play the same sort of music, but we have the same outlook when it comes to music. There's bands like Cut Nancy, Hello Lazarus, Idles and Snake Invasion who have become mates; it's nice to build a scene and have that."
If they could play anywhere though, where would it be? Adam says, "Somewhere like Sheperd's Bush absolutely packed." While Joel has several options he would love; "I'd love to have a choir play with us…and I would love to play a festival somewhere like 2000 Trees – I've been the last two years and it's such a great vibe."
Ideal gig line-up wise the guys decided to opt for a band decision, which ended up being "Reuben, Radiohead and Oceansize." Although Joel wanted Flights to open it and Joe put his foot down on that one saying "It's not going to happen mate" when Joel says "I'd love to say I've played on the same bill as those bands." Remembering to include Dean, Joe says, "Who would Dean choose? Dean would choose Lou Reed." At this point Adam remembers The Chariot, so the guys finally decide: "Chariot to warm up the crowd, and then go to Reuben, then Oceansize and end on Radiohead."
Chatting about life in the band and what they feel they are learning, Joe says, "You learn quite a lot of skillsets being in a band too; the amount of drive it takes, you feel like you're self-employed. You're constantly just battering people with what you are and who you are; it's no different from having a business or a product so I feel that there is a skillset that I'm learning from doing this."
So what's next for Flights? "Nothing after this," Joel jokes as they all laugh. "We've got our tour dates, and there's going to be lots of writing and demoing. We've got quite a bit in the pipeline, so we'll see what happens," Joe says. "There's some cool stuff happening," Joel finishes the interview saying. It sounds like it's a case of watch this space for Flights; if the press for their debut EP was anything to go by, then we should all be very excited about the forthcoming album.
Flights can be seen on tour with The Perfect Crime in November

Wenger said that referee Howard Webb was wrong to send off Adebayor, who had been booked for a challenge in the first half, in the 62nd minute for a second yellow card though replays showed the Togolese star appeared to raise a foot in a challenge with Liverpool's Spanish defender, Alvaro Arbeloa.
"It was the wrong decision," Wenger said. "He should not have been sent off, and it cost us two points. I think we would have won the game if we had had 11 men for the last 30 minutes."
Adebayor acknowledged he committed a foul but protested Arbeloa "threw himself on the floor as if I put a knife in him."
Adebayor had been handed the Arsenal captain's band after Fabregas suffered a knee injury in a collision with Steven Gerard that will keep him out of action 1-3 weeks
Both goals came in the first half. Dutchman Robin van Persie's superb strike put the home team ahead, but Robbie Keane equalized when he held off William Gallas and Johan Djourou before beating goalie Manuel Almunia with a half-volley.
The tie kept Arsenal in fifth place.
Aston Villa moved ahead of idle Manchester United into third place with a 1-0 win at West Ham.
Second-place Chelsea can take over first place with a victory over Everton on Monday (TV: Setanta Sports USA, live, 3 pm ET).

Who knows maybe the Mets truly have something up their sleeve because they certainly don't seem to have any urgency to fix an outfield they were joking about in Oct.
Baker had a busy 2012 between three teams: the Cubs, Tigers and Braves. Usable at first, second, third and in the outfield, Baker hit .239 with four home runs and a .279 on-base percentage in 83 games. He's spent nearly his whole career in the National League, with just 15 games played for the American League -- all in Detroit last year.source MLB.com

'Polar vortex' plunges area into deep freeze
CHICAGO — A whirlpool of frigid, dense air known as a "polar vortex" descended today into much of the U.S., pummeling parts of the country with a dangerous cold that could break decades-old records with wind chill warnings stretching from Montana to Alabama.
The first hint of the frigid front woke Indiana County residents early this morning, as high winds swept the county, dropping temperatures from a midnight reading of nearly 50 degrees to about 30 at daybreak.
At 2 a.m., winds peaked at the Indiana County Jimmy Stewart Airport at 52 mph, blustery enough to blow the flag from the pole at the airfield, a spokesman said. Tree limbs littered the Indiana area much the same as following summer thunderstorms.
Evidence of the eastward movement of the front could be taken from the online report of school schedule changes in the region. The Armstrong School District closed for the day and classes were delayed two hours in every other district in Armstrong County. In Indiana County, only the Blairsville-Saltsburg and Homer-Center districts called two-hour delays and the Head Start program closed down for the day.
Human services officials in Indiana County advised that homeless people would be taken in, if encountered by police officers, IndiGO bus drivers or church officials during the arctic freeze.
The Indiana County Human Services Department said the Pathway, Family Promise and Alice Paul House shelters would be contacted first for bed space for people needing shelter. If necessary, the Indiana County Community Action Program would arrange for hotel rooms and follow-up by a case manager for people with no place to stay, according to Human Services Director Bonni Dunlap.

Several inches of snow fell on the Lawrence area overnight and wind chill values are forecast to be as low as minus 25 to minus 32 Sunday night through Monday morning. (AP Photo/The Journal-World, Mike Yoder)]
For a big chunk of the Midwest, the subzero temperatures were moving in behind another winter wallop: more than a foot of snow and high winds that made traveling treacherous. Officials closed schools in cities including Chicago, St. Louis and Milwaukee and warned residents to stay indoors and avoid the frigid cold altogether.
The forecast is extreme: 32 below zero in Fargo, N.D.; minus 21 in Madison, Wis.; and 15 below zero in Minneapolis, Indianapolis and Chicago. Wind chills — what it feels like outside when high winds are factored into the temperature — could drop into the minus 50s and 60s.
It hasn't been this cold for almost two decades in many parts of the country. Frostbite and hypothermia can set in quickly at 15 to 30 degrees below zero.
Lorna West, a 43-year-old student and consultant from Columbus, Ohio, said she doesn't believe people unaccustomed to such weather are ready for what's coming.
A Chicago native, she said thermal underwear, lots of layers and "Eskimo coats" with zipped hoods to block the wind were the norm growing up.
"And don't go out if you don't have to," she said.
For several Midwestern states, the bitter cold was adding to problems caused by a weekend snow storm. The National Weather Service said the snowfall at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport totaled more than 11 inches as of 6 p.m. Sunday — the most since the Feb. 2, 2011, storm that shut down the city's famed Lake Shore Drive.
Missouri transportation officials said it was too cold for rock salt to be very effective, and several Illinois roadways were closed because of drifting snow.
A bus taking the Southern Illinois University men's basketball team home from a game at Illinois State got stuck in the snow Sunday night off Interstate 57, forcing the group to wait for a tow truck and make plans for a night at a hotel in nearby Tuscola, Ill.
More than 1,000 flights were canceled Sunday at airports throughout the Midwest.
Many cities came to a virtual standstill. In St. Louis, where more than 10 inches of snow fell, the Gateway Arch, St. Louis Art Museum and St. Louis Zoo were part of the seemingly endless list of things closed. Shopping malls and movie theaters closed, too. Even Hidden Valley Ski Resort, the region's only ski area, shut down.
School was called off today for the entire state of Minnesota, as well as cities and districts in Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana and Iowa, among others. Chicago Public School officials reversed an earlier decision to keep schools open, announcing late in the day Sunday that classes would be canceled today.
Government offices and courts in several states closed today. In Indiana, the General Assembly postponed the opening day of its 2014 session, and the state appellate courts, including the Indiana Supreme Court, said they would be closed.
Southern states are bracing for possible record temperatures, too, with single-digit highs expected Tuesday in Georgia and Alabama.
Temperatures are expected to dip into the 30s in parts of Florida on Tuesday. Though Florida Citrus Mutual spokesman Andrew Meadows said it must be at 28 degrees or lower four hours straight for fruit to freeze badly, fruits and vegetables were a concern in other parts of the South.
Gazette reporter Chauncey Ross contributed to this report.

The game, to be broadcast live on ESPN2 and Univision, will pit the 2007 CONCACAF champion against the 2007 South American champion. Both teams are repeat champions.
The game will also mark the first trip by five-time world champion Brazil to Chicago.
The Mexico-USA match was canceled due to contractual and financial considerations. Mexico and Brazil will meet Sept. 12 in Foxboro, Mass.
Since the games are during a double fixture week on the FIFA calendar, both the USA and Brazil should field their first-choice players.
The USA is 1-11-0 against Brazil in a series dating back to 1930. The lone win came on Feb. 10, 1998, in Los Angeles, where's Preki's second-half goal and some tremendous goalkeeping by Kasey Keller gave the USA a 1-0 win over Brazil in the semifinals of the Gold Cup.
The teams last met at Miami's Orange Bowl in the semifinals of the 2003 Gold Cup. The USA led on a goal by Carlos Bocanegra until a last-minute goal by AC Milan midfielder Kaka sent the game to overtime, where Diego won it for Brazil (represented by its U-23 team) with a golden goal.
"It is a very exciting opportunity for our players to get to play perhaps the most storied team in the world," said U.S. head coach Bob Bradley. "We have developed a tremendous schedule for 2007, and adding Brazil is another important piece of the puzzle as we continue to build our team towards World Cup qualifying next year. I have told our players many times that these are special games, and we need to take advantage of the opportunity. We are very much looking forward to the challenge."

As a "reflaction coach," I help people reflect upon their aspirations and goals by asking them thought-provoking questions to bring clarity and focus, and then help them reach those aspirations by holding them accountable for their own self-determined action plan.
What I will not do:
- I will not be a mentor [you are the expert in your own field, not I]
- I will not be a counselor [I will not be fixing your personal problems]
- I will not be a consultant [I will not be prescribing solutions for you]
What I will do:
- I will listen carefully and attentively
- I will ask thought-provoking questions to help you reflect upon and clarify your own dreams and desires
- I will come along side
- I will provide accountability for what you want to be held accountable for
How will I do this?
- We will start with a free 30-40 minute "get to know you" session, via telephone
- If you wish to proceed, we will continue with 1-on-1 sessions every 2-3 weeks (about 1 hour each session), for as long as you feel it is helpful (this may be 1 session, a dozen, or more)
What is the cost?
- My standard fee is $75 per session, with a substantial discount for qualified individuals working for churches, Christian schools and other non-profit organizations
To get started, send me a note, telling me a bit about yourself here.
I look forward to hearing from you!

The chairman of an intergovernmental panel charged with writing a report card on how capital cities are organised and planned says governments don't understand the private sector.
Paul McClintock, the chairman of the COAG Reform Council, said governments at all levels had placed expectations on the private sector for infrastructure delivery that were "just straight naive" with "an inadequate understanding of what the commercial realities are".
Next week COAG will release a two-year review of capital city strategic planning systems that will question whether the planning and organisation of cities is helping or hindering the economy and social well-being.
COAG appointed an expert panel to the task, including former deputy prime minister
Mr McClintock said one of the main conclusions of the report, to be released to the public on Monday, was that the private sector was poorly integrated into the system.
"Most urban planning requires most of the infrastructure, even down to the houses and the blocks of land, to be produced by the private sector," Mr McClintock told The Australian Financial Review.
"So if you don't have a really good hold on how to make propositions investable and get the private sector confident in the returns, then your plans don't go very far. You can plan a whole new city and then find out that none of it is viable.
"That's one area where we see consistently right across Australia that the linkages between the people who are doing this high-level planning integration and the practical experience of what the private sector can, and will, do, is not strong."
The report assesses each capital city on whether it meets key criteria. These include the smooth integration across government levels and departments, long-term strategic planning, encouraging world-class urban design and architecture, and having clear timelines and performance measures.
Mr McClintock would not elaborate further on issues raised in the report, which will include discussion of a possible traffic congestion tax.
He said Adelaide had a relatively favourable planning environment, but larger cities found it harder to achieve smooth integration across their planning systems.
"It's fair to say smaller cities often are a little easier to do this. Places like Adelaide have had long traditions of doing this in an integrated way," Mr McClintock said.
He said the planning environment in NSW and Victoria had become uncertain as both state governments were reviewing and changing their planning systems.
The report did not focus on the strength of individual departments or policies, but rather whether the whole system was working well together, he said.
The COAG Reform Council is an independent monitoring agency set up by the Howard government to drive intergovernmental reform.
At the Green Cities Conference in Sydney this month, Ms Turnbull, deputy chairwoman of the cities expert panel advising the capital city planning review, said governments needed to work harder with the community to obtain a mandate for change early in the planning process.
Communities needed to understand "doing nothing is not an option", she said. "We need to have a better way of engaging and having a common understanding that we need to do something to support future growth."
Ms Turnbull said the frameworks for project delivery needed to better balance risk and reward for the private sector, because "governments can't do this on their own".
In carrying out the review, the COAG Reform Council analysed submissions from state and territory governments on their own consistency against its criteria, and produced a final report in December after consulting government and industry.
Workshops with about 70 participants were held on common themes facing all capital cities.

Oct. 4, 2013
During each week of competition throughout the cross country season, we will highlight a member of our support staff that helps the Wolverines succeed on and off the course!
Meet academic counselor Ruquel Atchinson:
Describe your academic and professional career path and how you ultimately ended up at Michigan?
I was involved in sports at an early age, mainly basketball, but I ran track and played volleyball from 7th-12th grade. I would always watch NBA and college basketball games on TV. My favorite college teams were Michigan, Duke and UNLV. I was a huge Christian Laettner fan, of which I took a lot of heat! Growing up in Saginaw, Mich., we had a lot of talented high school basketball and football players of which I enjoyed watching. My cousins and I loved good basketball and we also followed a few of the Detroit teams, but our favorite was Detroit Southwestern.
When I began my college career at Central Michigan University I wasn't sure what I wanted to major in, but once I discovered the sports studies major, I knew it would be something I would enjoy exploring. After undergrad, I worked customer service jobs while trying to break into my career field. I knew I didn't want to go back to Saginaw, so I moved to Pontiac, Mich. and worked full time at Enterprise Rent a Car in their Management Trainee program and part time at the Palace of Auburn Hills. At the Palace, I worked sporting events and concerts. After Enterprise, I started working for the Boys & Girls Club in Southwest Detroit as a Physical Education Instructor. This job was fun because it kept me active and I was able to develop programs for the kids to get them moving. After working two years there I decided it was time for me to go back to school, so I enrolled at Wayne State University in their sports administration master's program. I didn't want to drag it out so I enrolled full-time and took evening courses. My school schedule didn't work with my B&GC schedule because I worked 12:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. I then learned of a company that was looking to hire physical education instructors to teach K-8th grade gym classes in area schools. The position didn't require a teaching certificate and worked well with my schedule. I was also able to coach seventh and eighth grade girls' basketball and assist with Girl Scouts.
During my final year of grad school, I started interning in the athletic department at WSU. I interned for about three months before being hired full-time as a compliance coordinator. Seven months later, an internship opened up in the Compliance Services Office (CSO) at Michigan and though I would be taking a pay cut, I knew it was a great opportunity to work at my dream school. After working for a year in the CSO, I was hired full-time. After working two years in the CSO, I wanted to learn about others areas within the athletic department. After speaking with Shari Acho and former associate athletic director Warde Manuel, we agreed that I would be a good fit in the Academic Success Program. I interviewed for the job, things worked out for me and 10 years later I'm still here at the place I love!
What do you enjoy most about your job?
What I enjoy most about my job is seeing the development and progression of the students from the start of their academic and athletic careers at Michigan to the end of their journeys as they receive their degree. It's really great to share in their happiness as they strive to achieve academic goals and conquer life's challenges along the way. I truly appreciate being a part of their journey.
What is the biggest challenge in your job?
The biggest challenge in my job is helping my student-athletes deal with the constant increased pressures of being an elite student-athlete. Specifically, the pressure to win, being able to compete in the classroom and job market and also to fit in socially.
What makes working for Michigan Athletics special?
What makes working for Michigan Athletics special, aside from the obvious great tradition and rich history, is being able to share in all the great moments and successes of our sports teams. Also, the "Wow" experiences that are created for Athletic Department team members are exciting and rewarding.
What do you tell prospective student-athletes about the quality of academic resources/facilities Michigan provides?
I tell prospective student-athletes that our quality of academic resources are second to none and the great facility that we provide for them speaks to the level of commitment we have toward their academic success. It's important for the prospects and their parents to also understand that the resources we provide are going to be specific to their son or daughter, which means they are going to get individualized time and attention to match their specific needs.
What do you enjoy doing away from work?
I enjoy hanging out with my husband, attending concerts with my friends and singing in the choir at my church.

THEY REFUSED TO PORT OUR MORTGAGE!! boooo!!
The reason is I have gone part time and we now have 2 children so now they consider the mortgage we currently have, that is easily paid every month, as not affordable! What The...........
When I eventually stopped crying and calling everyone I know to tell them what horrible thicko's my mortgage company are, I thought about it and, although we still won't be near to any family, the town we currently live in has a lot more kid friendly stuff than the town all our family live in. Which is a nice thought.
Plus my hubby just bought me a 100cc scooter, peep peep!!!! Got to do my CBT then I can scoot about as much as I like :-) after years of not having a car when hubby is at work and the car do we have being a diesel guzzling monster, it's gonna be great to nip out when I want to.
The day I got the bad news I needed a cheer up and nothing does that better than pizza and garlic bread.
Easy peasy recipe.........
Garlic Bread & Pizza Dough
300g self raising flour
80g butter
100g grated mature cheddar
pinch of salt
4 tbsp s/skimmed milk
I always put gloves on for this as I hate getting gloop under my nails!!
- Preheat oven to 220 deg C/ Gas Mark 7
- Rub the flour, butter and salt together until it resembles breadcrumbs. (use fingers)
- Add the milk and cheese and mix (with spoon) until is forms a ball of dough.
- Break the dough into 2.
- On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough to about 5mm thick.
- Place on a non-stick baking sheet.
For the Garlic Butter
50g butter
1 tbsp garlic puree
1 tbsp italian seasoning (herbs)
- Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix until combined.
- Poke dimples into the dough you are using for the garlic bread
- Spread generously with your garlic butter - I like putting my gloves back on and giving the dough a good rub down with the garlic butter - I'm sure the dough quite likes it too :-)
When you have put the amount of toppings, and garlic butter, you want onto your doughs place them in the oven and bake for 15-20mins
Cut into portions....
Make sure you eat it straight from the oven and feel instantly better about the world.
The kids love the pizzas too!!!!!

Britney Spears won't see sons after cameo court appearance
By Dan Whitcomb
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A judge on Monday refused to restore Britney Spears' right to visit her two sons, a court spokesman said, after the troubled pop star showed up outside court but never made it into the hearing.
Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon left in place a ruling that barred Spears from visiting with her young sons at least until another hearing on February 19, lawyers for her ex-husband Kevin Federline said outside court.
Gordon issued the original order earlier this month, after police were summoned to the troubled pop star's home when she became distraught and refused to return the boys to Federline's representatives.
Spears, 26, was taken away on a stretcher and hospitalized for two days.
She arrived hours late for Monday's hearing and was mobbed by photographers as she stepped out of a sport utility vehicle outside the downtown Los Angeles courthouse.
But instead of heading into the building where the hearing was under way with Federline in the courtroom, Spears climbed quickly back in the car and drove off again.
"Move back, I'm scared. Stop it. Stop it. I want to get back in the car. Just stop it. Let me get in the car, please!" Spears shouted at photographers, according to the celebrity Web site TMZ.com.
It was the latest in a series of strange episodes involving Spears since she divorced Federline in late 2006. She lost custody of their two sons, 1-year-old Jayden James and 2-year-old Sean Preston, last year. Continued...

I start in Maya to build the low poly mesh. Edgeloops for animation are kept in mind but when it's finished I always end up with NGons especially when I combine everything together for a single mesh that will be effiecent with texturing.
So now I've got a problem as later with Zbrush and Xnormals both require the mesh to be triangulated. first. Now my pipelane looks like this.
Maya - low poly model. Have to create triangulated mesh to be compatibile.
Zbrush - Send triangalated mesh in for painting and sculpting details.
3DCoat - Awsome UVmapping tools. But made far more complicated and unenjoyable due to working on triangulated edgeflow.
XNormals - Burning and transfering of maps from high poly to triangulated poly.
Now I still want the original model to be what I finish with. So now I have to get the details from the triangulated poly onto the low poly mesh right?
See, this whole thing is a mess until I've figured out what to do. Perhaps fixing all Ngons is the only solution? I've also heard that customers on the 3D modeling stores want to see 100% quads with a few triangles.
In the process of fixing one NGon it seems like I only make more. Like a Rubix Cube.
At 1500 poly's / 3000 tri's maybe I should just redo the whole topology. Maybe I could get it lower.
