Training Methodology
The final step in your training preparation is to be aware of the overall Wing Chun Concepts Training Methodology. As you've seen in the Ignition section, we've already narrowed down the material to the most effective elements. Then, in the Training Schedule section, we have established guidelines to make your practice sustainable. Now we're going to fine-tune one final element: efficiency.
If effectiveness is doing the right things, efficiency is doing things right. The training process as outlined in this guide is designed to cultivate maximum skill in Wing Chun Kung Fu in the minimum amount of time and with the least possible impact on the rest of your daily schedule. Some Kung Fu masters have said that it takes 20 years to learn their system. That's a horrible return-on-investment. Our goal is to make you proficient in Wing Chun in TWO years.
In order to accomplish this, each and every training session will include three phases: Absorb, Practice and Evaluate.
ABSORB: The Learning Phase
The first time that you are exposed to a new concept, you will need to fully understand both the mechanical actions as well as the underlying key concepts. In class, each lesson will be fully explained and demonstrated by an instructor or senior student. Online, each lesson will be fully documented for reference or home study, adding photos and illustrations, slideshows or video, and supplemental information or links as needed.
PRACTICE: The Training Phase
After you have grasped they key points of the lesson, you will put them into practice by working on the forms, doing solo drills, cooperatively working through partner drills, or testing your reactions through tactical drills. In class, an instructor will guide you through the initial rounds of practice and provide ongoing corrections. You will work with multiple partners to get a feel for the differing body sizes, strength and energy levels. Online, each practice is fully documented and a Quick Reference Sheet is provided as a handy guide for home practice.
EVALUATE: The Feedback Phase
In class there are two forms of evaluation: self-evaluation and instructor evaluation. In the case of home study, you will have to rely on self-evaluation. Along with each new level you will be given a Progress Chart that lists off all the requirements for that level. Next to each element will be a "progress bar" box. An empty box means you have not yet learned the material. A fully shaded box means that you have mastered that skill. At any given time you may have two or three in-progress skills being worked on, but you should be attempting to master them in the exact sequence given on the sheet.
Along with your Progress Chart you should consider maintaining a Training Journal. This can simply be a notebook where you write down your observations from the current session, and/or make notes to yourself for the next session. Even if you know you'll remember what you've learned, writing it down – being forced to articulate your thoughts – activates another region of your brain and helps reinforce the learning.
Going Deep
The Secret Sauce in our Wing Chun training recipe is something called Deep Practice. Effective and efficient training isn't just about logging practice hours; the true magic happens when each and every minute of your training is fully engaged, highly focused, and playfully challenging. This is an idea fully explored in the book The Talent Code:
The sweet spot: that productive, uncomfortable terrain located just beyond our current abilities, where our reach exceeds our grasp. Deep practice is not simply about struggling; it's about seeking a particular struggle, which involves a cycle of distinct actions.
— Daniel Coyle
Deep Practice isn't something that can be summed up in a paragraph, but rather a specific learning skill that we are going to integrate into each and every lesson. The key phrase to remember: If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you.
Training Tools
Wing Chun Progress Chart
At the start of each new level you will be given, or given access to download, a level-specific progress chart. Before you start each training session, review the chart to see what you need to work on next. At the end of each training day, add a little shading to the progress bar for each skill that you practiced. The amount of shading is subjective based on your self-evaluation. Some skills can be learned faster than others, but a bar should not be fully shaded until you feel that you can reliably and predictably demonstrate that skill under pressure.
Do not expect to fill a progress bar in a single training session. Some skills may take three or four practice sessions to master; some may take over a dozen sessions. Do not be concerned about speed; concern yourself only with making a little progress each day through quality practice.
Online Lessons
The final step in the efficient approach to training is the very specific format for all of the online lessons to follow. All of the pages that teach forms, drills or tactics will follow the streamlined format detailed below.
WHAT: The Lesson Intro
The first section gives a concise overview of the lesson so that you know exactly what will be covered.
Key Points
The main steps of each form, the important training points of each drill, and the key strategies of each tactics drill are listed here in bullet-list format. These are accompanies by downloadable Reference Sheets. These printable PDFs compress lesson details into compact, easy to remember highlights. In many cases, this will be an annotated bullet list of moves or techniques and wil often be paired with a snippit of related wisdom in the form of quotes or traditional Wing Chun training idioms (known Kuen Kit, or Fist Proverbs).
You can print these reference sheets and have them available in your practice space as you work through the training progression. You can also use these reference sheets as a kind of self-test. By the end of each level, you should be able to easily recall from memory all of the techniques listed on the sheet. If you cannot, this is a sure sign that you need to invest additional practice time before you advance to the next level.
Show Me
Each form and drill will be illustrated with either photographs, a slideshow sequence or video. Illustrations may also be included with the How content.
As the main content of the lesson, each section of the form or variation of the drill will be broken down into easy-to-follow steps. Each movement will be fully explained, along with specific safety notes and guidelines for self-evaluation.
The final section digs a little deeper for those who need to understand the meaning behind the movement. Be warned, this section may veer into Asian symbolism, philosophy, Qi energetics, Chinese medicine, anatomy and physics.
That's it for the preparation work. You are now ready to begin training Wing Chun Kung Fu. Take a deep breath, shake off any tension, and get ready to step into the kwoon (training hall). Click the STUDENT button to log in and begin your journey.

building projects
I followed your new building project. yours went a lot faster. We first built a 50 X 36 cinder block garage in the middle that will be split with a fire wall, then stick framed 2 k living quarters on each end. It started as a joint project with her son who was a contractor, but He and her grandson were killed a few years ago in a plane crash when they were flying home from a project in Wyoming

I finally got water into the Duplex we are building. We had to drill a new well. My wife and I have done most of the work. Our farm is flooded so No income from there this year, but I have more time to do the finish work. The goal is to have both sides done by winter, we will move into the larger one and rent the other one. When my wife started designing the kitchen I said I nee mote tools, She said get them ordered. And if I ever have time I could build a woody wagon for one of my T chassis.

I made it out to the shop today to work on this deck lid repair. After about an hour of intense staring, the answer to getting this thing together came to me.
Are you the type that tends to overthink things? I will admit that I do happen to fall in that trap occasionally. I found what I was doing to repair the shell was backwards. I changed my plan and fit the new pieces up to the new skin. I made a change and decided to Not copy the shell on the end of the channel. I now have the 2 pieces tacked together and I am pleased with the fit and the simplicity. See my thread on rust repair for pictures..

The heat wave hasn't hit here yet this year. It has been cold and wet. Ahhhh but we are supposed to get our heat this weekend. Weather Forcasters have said this before but I don't believe em anyway. Over the last 5 or so years I have kept cool enough with a window Air unit. This year I changed up things and bought a Portable 14,000 BTU unit that uses 2-6 inch hoses that exhaust out the window adapter. I tested it out 1 time this year and it worked much better than the static window mount unit.
Maybe it will get the official work out this weekend, We can only hope..

I thrashed on the '62 for 10 hours yesterday. I'm close and if not for needing to fabricate exhaust today, it would be ready to go to BTTF tomorrow.
The conversion to later model PS was a MAJOR frustration of time and money. I bought a "KIT" last week, yeah right. After 6 more days of trial fitting and then modifying parts, ordering more that were missing and chasing some down locally, I FINALLY got it together Wednesday night.
Anyway, I have to go to registration this morning for my creds and then it's back on it. At this point all it needs is a starter and fluids and it would run, with open manifolds..

CEO DeFord stressed his desire to attract users from throughout the healthcare organization; he envisions it even as a platform for discussing business issues such as revenue cycle management or cardiology. There are other online communities that target specific constituencies, such as Sermo for doctors, but Next Wave Connect aims to be multi-disciplinary. That means it could be a good place for medical, financial and technical healthcare executives and workers to discuss big-impact issues, such as the introduction of the ICD-10 medical coding requirements scheduled for next year.
At the same time that he emphasizes this breadth, DeFord chose to announce the platform going live at the annual conference of the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) in Scottsdale, Ariz., and healthcare IT is clearly one of the first communities the site wants to cater to. DeFord previously was a CIO for several healthcare organizations, including Steward Health Care LLC and Seattle Children's Hospital.
Seattle Children's Hospital is one of the early users of Next Wave Connect, along with Cedars-Sinai, Rush University Medical Center and Sharp HealthCare. DeFord said 27 healthcare systems have either signed up or are in the process of signing up, representing about 425 hospitals.
Next Wave Connect is a venture of Next Wave Health, an investment firm that backs technology startups. The underlying software development is being handled by Smart Social Media, another Next Wave Health venture organized to potentially sell the software platform into other markets -- although so far, it's really focused on supporting Next Wave Connect. Next Wave Health formed the Smart Social Media business in September after purchasing an existing social media platform, OneXPage, from Digiapolis, Inc.
The social network has a ways to go. When an InformationWeek reporter went through the online registration process Tuesday, the site was displaying placeholder text on the confirmation page, and the website in general looked sketchy and underdeveloped.
Cedars-Sinai's Dworkin predicted it will start to look more interesting once more people sign up. "If you were the only person on Facebook, it could look a little boring," he said. He said he's encouraged that a number of sizable health systems have committed to signing up, but admitted that if employees within those organizations don't become active users, "it will just be another in a long list of what could have been cool ideas." He thinks there's a strong chance the site will get traction for the healthcare IT community at a minimum. "They've got a strong management team that knows a lot of people, so I think it will happen," he said.
Next Wave Connect offers a free account for basic access or a paid individual membership for $250 per year. DeFord said he is primarily marketing to healthcare systems who will enroll employees on an enterprise basis.

See if this will do it for you. The idea is to create your own N form, I
called it n below that formats the numbers as you desire (thats what the
first rule does) but does not effect subsequent calculations (I hope that
is what the second rule below will do.)

n /: h_[a___, n[b_], c___] := h[a, b, c]
In[2]:= Random[] + I Random[] (*Here is a rect. number*)
Out[2]= 0.150264 + 0.262879 I

Out[4]= -0.0930527 + 0.158005 I

Roasted Rock Cod with Italian Peppers
Slideshow: More Amazing Seafood Recipes
- Servings: 4
- 4 mild medium red or green Italian frying peppers (about 1 pound)
- 4 anchovies, coarsely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, smashed
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black peppercorn
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained and coarsely chopped
- Four 1/2-pound cod fillets
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- Lemon wedges, for serving
How to make this recipe
Preheat the broiler. Roast the peppers as close to the heat as possible for about 10 minutes, turning, until charred and blistered all over. Transfer the peppers to a bowl, cover and let cool. Lower the oven temperature to 400°.
Peel the peppers and cut them into thin strips; discard the cores and seeds. In a mortar, crush the anchovies to a coarse paste with the garlic, peppercorns and salt. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the olive oil, capers and roasted peppers.
Arrange the cod on a baking sheet and spread the pepper mixture evenly over each fillet. Roast the cod for about 10 minutes, or until the flesh flakes easily. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve with the lemon wedges on the side.
Suggested Pairing
The fish is mild, but the peppers, anchovies and capers aren't. Pair the dish with a round, ripe California Chardonnay.

In a desperate bid to censor press coverage, Vice Chair Christine Butler, de-facto leader of the Broward Republican Executive Committee, has proposed Draconian rules for next week's debates for BREC candidates. As Red Broward previously reported, Butler and her patron worry negative reviews of her performances at club meetings are hurting her chances to become the official chairman of the BREC. On Saturday, Butler personally emailed to these "rules" to local Republican leaders including Robert Sutton and Tom Truex. Butler's rules hang the threat of disloyalty claims and RPOF sanctions over anyone who dares to question, poke fun at or accurately report the missteps of Butler.
Butler says she submitted the rules in the "interest of fairness, openness, civility and imparting information and credentials of each candidate." Baloney. First, she would ban all straw polls and preference polls "conducted in conjunction with or as a result of the forum." Heck no, we cannot allow the unwashed masses to provide reviews of her performance. That's the job of her $5000 worth of shiny mailers!
Butler wants all questions submitted in writing. Each question must be accompanied by the name of the author. If the moderator can't under the question, the author will be forced to stand up and explain. Questions from non-Republicans will not be accepted. Make sure to bring your official GOP identification papers and be prepared to face public ridicule for daring to question the Butler regime!
But wait, it gets better.
Butler included this innocuous sounding bit about the Republican Party of Florida: " This forum is being sponsored by Broward Republican Clubs, which are extensions of the BREC and the RPOF, and accordingly, all rules as to member deportment and civility must be observed and maintained, including compliance with the Party Oath and loyalty matters." So what? Why bring up talk of oath and loyalty matters? Perhaps Butler seeks to stamp violators of her last rule as disloyal Republicans?
Butler's last rule covering "recordings and photographs" is a doozy. It is amazing Butler, a lawyer, even wrote it down. All lawyers take Constitution Law classes which emphasize ideas like "freedom of the press", "prior restraint" and "chilling effect." Guess Christine was absent that day. We will send you a blue book, Christine.
First, Butler demands anyone recording the debate "must agree to supply all candidates a complete copy of every such recording delivered to them within 24 hours of the end of the event." What, no "pretty please"? Butlers says such recordings "shall be provided to the candidates without cost and free of copyright restrictions."
Our "battle hardened" vice chair gets even tougher. She declares her rules "shall apply to the Press and bloggers as well." Even if any self-respecting reporter and/or blogger agreed to handing their product over, they would not be allowed to comment on the event. Making fun of Dear Leader's lackluster performances is a big no-no. Butler announces, "no photographs or recordings will be edited, out cropped, digitally altered or taken out of context and subsequently published in any media outlet, for the purpose or use of denigrating or displaying a candidate in a mocking or derisive manner." If the Press doesn't agree to follow her orders they will be "denied recording privileges."
So, in Christine Butler's BREC-world, there is no freedom of the press, satire is not allowed and those speaking truth to power will be publicly shamed and branded as disloyal. Who helped you write these rules? The ghost of Hugo Chavez? Stacy Ritter? Sharon Day?
Butler's rules are clearly intended to have a "chilling effect" on anyone daring to criticize her. Period. It's doubtful Tom Truex, a lawyer, a blogger and a judicial applicant, would agree to rules that fly in the face of the First Amendment.
Butler clearly doesn't know the people she wants to lead. They're not troublemakers. They're civil and will politely listen without shouting you down.
But the hairs on the back of their necks stand up when some bureaucrat or lawyer threatens their freedom of speech.


text: My wife has graciously indulged my midlife crisis and agreed to my dream of having a bike and heading out west to the Grand Canyon. I have signed up for the MSF rider course. I realize in an ideal world one should start with a smaller bike and then trade up. I will have about 2 months of riding pracitice before I head out west. I am really better off with something small to start on and then discover a larger bike on one of my first trips out? I would think I would be better off dealing with the nuances of a larger bike to begin with so I am completely comfortable with it before heading out. Any thoughts or opinions?

A master password, sharing passwords with third parties and advertisers - yes Facebook has a lot of explaining to do...
Following a leaked email in which CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted "we've made a bunch of mistakes", the Facebook founder has now stepped forward to give an official statement regarding the state of its privacy controls and to offer a full apology.
"Sometimes we move too fast — and after listening to recent concerns, we're responding," he explained. "The biggest message we have heard recently is that people want easier control over their information. Simply put, many of you thought our controls were too complex. Our intention was to give you lots of granular controls; but that may not have been what many of you wanted. We just missed the mark."
Zuckerberg isn't wrong as the diagram above maps out the tangled mess the social networking site's privacy controls have become.
"We have heard the feedback," he continued. "There needs to be a simpler way to control your information. In the coming weeks, we will add privacy controls that are much simpler to use. We will also give you an easy way to turn off all third-party services. We are working hard to make these changes available as soon as possible. We hope you'll be pleased with the result of our work and, as always, we'll be eager to get your feedback."
Quite frankly the situation can't get much worse, but they say admitting you have a problem is the first step towards fixing it. The wider impact will be whether users' trust can ever be fully restored. Then again, with over 400m members and rivals like MySpace and Bebo crumbling around it, Facebook remains in a uniquely powerful position...

Drivers Have Mixed Reaction Towards Proposed Texting Ban
Published February 9th, 2013
Loading Video...
GAINESVILLE - A state Senate committee has advanced a bill that would make texting while driving a ticketable offense in Florida, possibly paving the way towards a future ban on distracted driving.
Right now, Florida is in the minority, as 39 other states have already enacted similar laws against texting behind the wheel. Although many drivers say they know the habit can be dangerous, some still admit to doing it anyway.
According to the National Safety Council, 28 percent of all car accidents in the nation are caused by a driver who's either texting or talking on the phone while behind the wheel.
Numbers compiled by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles show there were 25,156 crashes in Florida during 2011 that involved a distracted driver. The same research shows 2,770 of those crashes were due to cell phone use by drivers, and another 180 specifically due to texting.
The bill, as passed by the Senate Transportation Committee, would make texting while driving a secondary offense, meaning a law enforcement officer could only write a ticket if the driver is pulled over for another offense first; they would not be able to pull a driver over simply for texting.
Although the bill was approved by a committee, it still must pass before the full legislature before it can become law. Very similar bills were proposed during the past few legislative sessions, but each one failed to pass.

Remove Silicone Based Sealant from Brick
I layed old St. Louis solid Brick on the exterior porch and patio floors and interior kitchen floors of my house 6 months ago. The bricks are laid on a concrete slab.
After laying and mortaring, I acid washed with Muratic Acid, Let dry for 24 hrs, then applied Prosoco Limestone and Marble Protector (StandOff a Silicone based sealer). Within 6 weeks, the bricks have turned from a deep red to a light red/grey. It appears the bricks have effloresced under the sealer, and I have not been able to remove it using Prosoco's Safety Clean or Muraitic Acid.
It seems the only way to get to the efflorescence for removal is to remove the StandOff sealer with Prosoco's Dicone NC9. This will be a messy process, especially inside.
Any ideas would be welcome.
too bad you didn't 1st apply a vapor barrier to the slab,,, guess you're left w/plan b now :furious: what did prosoco's rep tell you ?
Basically Prosoco rep gave me a few bottles of their various cleaners and the Dicone and said to try small sections and see what works best.
Tried the Dicone and brick is coming out splotchy.

LinkedIn is a website designed for professional networking. In the previous tutorial [1], we talked about how to get your profile started, edit your contact settings, and how to receive, send and request recommendations. As you are well on your way to creating your own personal and professional network, let's learn more about how to use LinkedIn and its many features!
Once you are signed in and on your homepage, you will see a toolbar with multiple tabs across the top of the page. Let's explore "Profile" first. You can edit and view your profile. If you wish to edit your profile, you can edit your display name, education or workplace, area or industry, current and past positions, and you can add websites or your Twitter profile. You can take it to the next level by scrolling down on the page and adding past job experiences if you are searching for a job, for example. Or you can provide additional information about the education you have received. You may also add personal information such as phone number and address if you wish to be contacted that way.
The third tab is "Contacts." The options under this tab are: My Connections, Imported Contacts, Profile Organizer, Network Statistics, and Add Connections. When you click on "My Connections," it will most likely say that you currently have no connections (unless you have already added some!). You can click on Add connections to invite colleagues, classmates, and other people you may know to be one of your connections on LinkedIn.
"Imported Contacts" simply mean other contacts that you have that are not yet connected on LinkedIn with you. You can invite them to connect with you through this option. When you click on "Profile Organizer," this brings you to a page that is part of the LinkedIn Premium Account. If you wish to upgrade your LinkedIn, you could have the Profile Organizer that helps you keep track of noteworthy profiles and organize them into individual folders. The fourth option, "Network Statistics," again encourages you to invite all of your friends and colleagues to join your network because it is these connections that can help you be on your way to success!
The fourth tab is "Groups." Under this tab, there are My Groups, Following, Groups Directory, or Create a Group options. Once you become a member of different groups on LinkedIn, they will be displayed under "My Groups." There are professional groups, alumni organizations, work groups and more available on LinkedIn, all designed to make new business contacts and connections. Under "Following," the people you are following, your followers, and discussions you are following are listed here for you to manage. Followers are people who are following you and keeping track of what you are doing.
We will learn more about how to manage Groups, Jobs, your Inbox, and more in the next tutorial!

Date of Event: October 29th, 2012
Time of Event: 6-9 p.m.
Location of Event: Othello's of Norman, 434 Buchanan Avenue, Norman, OK 73069
Tiffany Bora, a.k.a. the Tipsy Artist and Othello's of Norman are partnering together to host a very special event "Tipsy For a Cause" Silent Auction in Honor of Barry Switzer.
Barry Switzer is a former football coach, active in the college and professional ranks between 1962 and 1997. He has one of the highest winning percentages of any college football coach in history, and is one of only two head coaches to win both a college football national Super Bowl. His college coaching career placed him in the College Football Hall of Fame. During his 16 years as head coach of the Oklahoma Sooners, he compiled a 157-29-4 record and won 12 Big Eight Championships and three National Championships. In 1994, Switzer was named head coach of
the Dallas Cowboys, winning Super Bowl XXX in 1996. Switzer was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 2002. In 2004, he received the Jim Thorpe Lifetime Achievement Award.
Tiffany Bora asked Barry Switzer to paint with her on August 27, 2012. He agreed and painted his very first painting called "Touch Down" Switzer painted with a classic patriotic color scheme of red, white and blue and his 16x20 canvas shows one of his famous triple option plays with his winning record and his signature. The night of painting was documented with photographs of Barry painting step by step. To view photos please visit our facebook page and view Barry Switzer Fundraiser for James Ray album.
The original Barry Switzer 16x20 painting titled "Touch Down" will be sold in a silent auction on October 29, 2012 at Othello's of Norman. There is already one starting bid of $1000. 100% of the proceeds from silent auction sale of painting will go to The James Ray Family.
"I challenged Barry Switzer to come paint with me on a KSBI interview before my upcoming paint party and then sent him a message through Twitter with an interview link and my request to help me raise funds for the James Ray family. I was going after the best to help me win funds for this cause. Barry was my #1 choice. He showed up and painted a masterpiece that I believe will help us win back a home and restoration for this family," said Tiffany Bora, the Tipsy Artist.
"It is no accident that I was contacted by Tonya Potts to help this family. The fact that James Ray became a paraplegic on the one year anniversary just before losing his home touched my heart in a very special way. My Step-Dad Chuck, an OU alumnus and huge Barry Switzer fan is a quadriplegic. My Mom is a nurse with a heart of gold. I have watched them go through many trials in life with a home and resources. That was hard enough. I can't imagine how difficult their life would be if they had no home. And yet that is what the James Ray family is facing right now," said Tiffany Bora, the Tipsy Artist.
Jennifer Weiss, owner of Othello's added "We really like to do good things for the community because that is what is important,"
"Indescribable. Thinking of all the things that are gone," Ray said.
Ray and his fiancée, Dottie, were evacuated before flames overtook their home.
Since then, they had been living in a hotel until Ray was put back in the hospital. The cramped hotel room was not fit for someone with needs like Ray's. A motorcycle accident left him paralyzed from the chest down last year. The family lost almost everything they owned in the fire, including all of Ray's medical equipment. But worse than his home and belongings, he lost memories. He helped build the home for his mother who passed away several years ago. The couple's animals including horse, dogs and cats were taken in all over the state. All but one, their cat Spike, escaped the fire; nobody could catch him.
"Just trying to go on. That's all you can do," he said. "It just keeps piling on one right after another." – James Ray
Now, the family is looking for a place that is handicapped accessible after doctors release Ray from the hospital in about six weeks.
"I have to have a house in place and ready for him to come home to or he's got nowhere to go," his fiancée Dottie McLeroy said.
1. Bid on the original painting "Touchdown" by Barry Switzer. Bidding starts at $1000. Silent Auction will be held at the event on October 29, 2012.

Titans Steal One From Trojans With Overtime Winner
Sept. 22, 2013
LOS ANGELES, CALIF. -- The USC women's soccer team scored in the first minute of action today to take an early lead, but visiting Cal State Fullerton was able to come up with goals it needed as the Titans took down the Trojans 2-1 in overtime at McAlister Field. USC was the offensive aggressor and dominant in possession throughout. The Titans, however, proved opportunistic and shrugged off USC's 24-7 advantage on shots by finishing an equalizer in the first half and delivering the final blow with the golden goal in the 108th minute of play. USC goes to 5-3-1 overall with today's loss, while Cal State Fullerton improves to 4-3-2.
Just 30 seconds into the game, USC put Titan goalkeeper Lindsey Maricic to the test. She'd stop the first Trojan shot on goal, but Megan Borman was there to collect the rebound of the save, making a move and firing the ball home for her first goal of the year and USC's quickest strike of the season. Borman had the Trojans up 1-0 just 37 seconds into the game, and that advantage would hold for another 15 minutes before Cal State Fullerton figured out a way to strike back. In the 16th minute, Erica Mazeau fired a shot on USC goalkeeper Caroline Stanley. It was a hard one, and the ball would deflect off Stanley's save and get loose. Mazeau was there for the chance and drove in the equalizer to knot things up 1-1.
The game would get chippy as the first half progressed, with both teams issued yellow cards on the field. After 45 minutes of action, it was still locked up 1-1, although USC had out-shot the Titans 10-4 in the half. The second half was again largely controlled by the Women of Troy. USC rattled off 12 shots against Cal State Fullerton in the next 45, forcing five saves out of Maricic and drilling the post twice on shots from Katie Johnson and Haley Boysen. Despite the possession and pressure, USC would come up empty in the half. Mia Bruno denied the Titans a late chance with a saving header at the goal line, and USC steeled itself for the next stretch of overtime action.
Stanley made a brilliant diving save to fend off the Titans in the first overtime period, and Maricic answered with a stop on a USC shot in the second OT. Neither team seemed to be able to find a chink in the other's defensive armor until Cal State Fullerton got deep into Trojan territory in the waning minutes of the match. In the 108th minute, the Titans earned a corner kick, and Morgan Batcheller was able to find the winning finish for the visitors.
USC now turns to enter Pac-12 action next week with a road trip to Arizona. The Trojans will pay a visit to Arizona State for a 4 p.m. MT matchup against the Sun Devils on Sunday (Sept. 29) in Tempe.
Cal State Fullerton 2, USC 1 (2ot)
SAVES: Caroline Stanley (USC) 3, Team (USC) 1, Lindsey Maricic (CSF) 7.

Seattle Is The Most Unwired City In The US
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Wireless / WiFi
This is why I love Seattle. It turns out that the area is the most "unwired" city in the country. This actually relates to the fact that there are more wireless hotspots per 100,000 people than anywhere else. Thanks the many Starbucks - which have T-Mobile Hotspot access - for contributing to this honor. What makes it even more fantastic, this doesn't take into account the pre-WiMax installed at the top of the Space Needle.

Ninja Gaiden Black To Retail For $29.99
Posted by Charles Leake Categories: Action, Xbox
Gamespot is reporting that Ninja Gaiden Black will hit stores in September for the low price of $29.99. Gamespot found this by doing a simple search of upcoming price lists on EBGames.com pointing to the price of the title. Gamespot not beliving the price to be correct, decide to make a call to Temco for confirmation if this price was right. Temco confirmed it was correct and also promised that it would not just be a cheap remake of the XBox classic Ninja Gaiden, but rather a full re-envisioning by Team Ninja with improved graphics and even more action then before. For those you who can not wait for Ninja Gaiden Black, you can buy Ninja Gaiden at a video game store near you - however, it will cost you $39.99.
The Top 10 Web Design Mistakes
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Design, Planning
This list notifies the reader of ten mistakes often made in web design. After giving it the once over, I can easily say that I agree with pretty much everything said here. The big one here, as far as I am concerned, is leaving the price off of a product page. I can't tell you how many times I have been thoroughly frustrated with a product site not listing the price of something I was interested in, instead pointing me towards a sales representative phone number. At that moment, they lose my business. Check out the article, which also lists the top 10 web design mistakes for years past as well.

I eat a Paleo Diet,
so the fat in the bacon is one of the very few sources of food where I even get fat into my diet. Fat is essential to your diet anyway, so for me its a win win. I get healthier bacon, don't have to eat turkey bacon, and in my opinion it tastes better than regular bacon.
Oh shit
. The Paleo Diet, Debunked
Unless you've been living in a prehistoric cave, odds are that you've read about the Paleo diet, the weight-loss program de jour. Its concept is simple: Eating a diet of fruit, vegetables, red meat, and fish, foods that caveman supposedly consumed during the Paleolithic era 10,000 years ago, will help cure ailments such as obesity, acne, low libido, and autoimmune disease. The diet has spawned dozens of books, magazine articles, and reportedly celebrity fans such as Kim Kardashian, Jessica Biel, Megan Fox, and Miley Cyrus.
But Marlene Zuk, Ph.D., Professor of Biology at University of California-Riverside and author of Paleofantasy: What Evolution Really Tells Us About Sex, Diet, and How We Live tells Slate that the roots of this diet are less evolutionary and more nostalgic. "You see this attitude in what can be referred to as "paleo-nostalgia"the notion that we were all better off before agriculture, or civilization, or the Industrial Revolution," she says. "It's not to say life has been unmitigatedly getting better. But it's more helpful and accurate to see that all organisms are constantly evolving. There has been no point in our past when we were perfectly adapted to our environment. I'm not dismissing the idea that you need to look at our evolutionary heritage to think about what's best for us health-wise. But when you start plucking out pieces in an oddly specific way, you can run into trouble."
What's more, says Zuk, we don't really know what cave people were eating. "It's turning out that they may have eaten more starch and carbohydrates than we had realized. They also ate different things in different parts of the world. So it's hard to come up with this one perfect human diet that everybody was eating. Plus our genes have changed in the last 10,000 years. Lactase persistencethe ability to digest milk as adultsis the poster child for this. Our genes have changed extremely rapidly so that at least some populations of humans can digest milk into adulthood. And just as with lactose, it turns out that in human populations that consume a lot of starch, there are more copies of genes that allow starch breakdown. All of this suggests that evolution is happening all the time and much more quickly than people think." Added to the fact that food has changed so much over the years that almost every item in your run-of-the-mill supermarket, even Whole Foods, is genetically different then its prehistoric counterpart. To say the diet emulates what cavemen ate, may be a bit of a stretch.
And while it's true that our ancestors likely adopted a diet of 100 percent unprocessed food and were constantly exercising (being chased by a saber-toothed tiger can do that to a person) unlike the average computer-bound professional (walking to the salad place on your lunch break doesn't count), Zuk says that ancient remains show about the same incidences of modern-day cancer. Plus, cavemen, who typically lived until only about 18-years-old didn't consume grains, dairy, salt, and sugarat worst, that's no bagels, fro-yo, and fries; at best, no quinoa, Greek yogurt, or almonds. Fun factor aside, carbohydrates are essential for energy and brain function, salt for nerve function, and dairy for strong bones. That doesn't sound like a well-balanced diet.
A happy medium? Feel free to adopt the healthy basics of the Paleo diet (no junk food) but live a little!

Communication and culture : mobile telephony in PNG villages
Watson, Amanda H. A. (2010) Communication and culture : mobile telephony in PNG villages. In 19th Annual Conference of the Asian Media Information and Communication Centre : Technology and Culture : Communication Connectors and Dividers, 21-23 June 2010, Suntec City, Singapore. (Unpublished)
Accepted Version
(PDF 360kB)
This paper examines the recent introduction of mobile telephony into rural communities in Papua New Guinea (PNG). It presents the findings of substantial fieldwork conducted in 2009, and suggests ways in which the new technology is already changing people's lives and relationships. The paper identifies the roles of mobile telephones in two communities, the changes taking place and how villagers are responding to them. Comparison of the two villages is strategic as it highlights similarities in perceptions of mobile phones in these two very different settings. An ethnographic approach is adopted, situated within an interpretative methodology. Data collection methods include semi-structured interviews, orally-administered surveys and participant observation. The village lifestyle or 'culture' provides an important lens for understanding this data and the assertions made by village respondents. This research is significant as it addresses changes currently occurring in the communication methods of whole communities.

School is out for summer, and the playground is being swapped for the backyard as kids return home. Instead of school cafeterias taking care of their mid-day meals, kids will be rooting around in the kitchen to scrounge up a an afternoon treat or lunch. To help you get ready for this pint-sized kitchen invasion, we've got eight snack and lunch recipes to have on hand so that when your kids start asking what there is to eat, you'll have plenty of options at the ready.
1. Oatmeal breakfast cookies
Before sending the kids outside to play, taking them to the pool, or dropping them off at a summer camp or sports lesson for a few hours, give them plenty of fuel for their activities with this breakfast cookie from Momables. Kids will be delighted that they get to eat cookies for breakfast and you'll be satisfied that they're getting a healthy dose of protein, fiber, and omega-3s with their breakfast. If you can't stomach giving your kids cookies for breakfast, have them on hand for an afternoon treat. It makes twelve large cookies.
- ½ mashed banana (about 1 large)
- ½ cup natural peanut butter (or non peanut)
- ½ cup honey
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup whole wheat flour
- ¼ cup ground flax seed (or an add'l ¼c flour)
- ¼ cup nonfat milk powder or vanilla protein powder (+2TB of water if dough is too thick)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup dried cranberries or raisins
Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly coat two cookie sheets with cooking spray; set aside. In a large bowl, stir together banana, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla. In a small bowl, combine oats, flour, ground flax, milk powder, cinnamon, and baking soda. Stir the oat mixture into the banana mixture until combined. Stir in dried cranberries.
Using a ¼-cup measuring cup, drop mounds of dough 3 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets. With a thin metal or small plastic spatula dipped in water, flatten and spread each mound of dough to a 2¾-inch round, about ½ inch thick.
Bake, one sheet at a time, for 14 to 16 minutes or until browned. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months; thaw before serving.

Immerse yourself in a yoga retreat
Imagine a weekend of eating nothing but healthy food, sweating (a lot), no driving or phone calls, not a computer in sight. In the mountains above Santa Barbara, the White Lotus Foundation hosts three-day yoga retreats for people at any level. Days are centered around a couple of two-hour sessions led by renowned teachers Ganga White and Tracey Rich, who have more than 70 years of experience between them. When you aren't working on your breathing or pigeon, you can visit the year-round waterfall, hike the miles of trails on the 40-acre property, book an on-site massage, or just stare at the ocean, hills, and sky. To call it purifying or rejuvenating doesn't even come close. $725, including meals, shared yurt, and yoga;

The new vision for Hyde Park's summer concerts was revealed today with an organic food village and an eco-friendly stage made of living trees.
New operators are investing £3 million in "bespoke" facilities aimed at ending the concerts' reputation as a tawdry annual invasion of one of London's best loved open spaces.
AEG, the US entertainment giant which also runs the O2, is to build "a great oak stage" to fit in better with the park. Concert goers will be able to book "treehouse" viewing platforms.
Jim King, AEG's event director, also promised movie-style scenery sets and stalls serving "hand-picked" food and "lots of local produce". "We want everything to be unique and bespoke and don't want you to have seen this anywhere else before," said Mr King, as he outlined AEG's plans for the first time in an interview with the Evening Standard.
"You will still be able to get a burger — but it'll be the most amazing, organic one you can get in London."
He also pledged to end some of the concerts' less savoury aspects such as overflowing plastic lavatories.
Madonna, Florence and the Machine, Jessie J and Tulisa are among the acts to have played Hyde Park. This summer 28 events were held there including 15 free Olympic concerts, 11 rock and pop shows, and two BBC events.
The Royal Parks and Live Nation, the concert promoter which previously held the contract, were criticised by residents who complained about noise, traffic and extra concerts during the Olympics and Diamond Jubilee.
AEG was awarded a five-year Hyde Park contract by the Royal Parks Agency a month ago. The agency has agreed to slash the number of concerts next year to six, over the last weekend in June and first weekend in July.
Representatives from the Royal Parks and AEG met residents and councillors yesterday to explain their plans.
The entertainment company will provide a free "village green" area for those who want to use the park but do not want to buy a ticket to a concert.
There has been speculation that the price AEG paid for the contract could push up ticket prices, but Mr King said better services would attract more people to "consume things onsite".Reuse content

[USA MEN] Landon Donovan says he's always been honest in his assessment of his game -- in good times and bad -- and he says he doesn't agree with Jurgen Klinsmann's assessment that other players were ahead of him. Indeed, he says he thought he was going to contribute in a bigger way than he expected before going to the Stanford camp. And in his first remarks since being cut from the U.S. World Cup team two days earlier, he added, "I think every one of my teammates would probably echo those same words."
Donovan's remarks came Saturday at StubHub Center, where the LA Galaxy will play the Philadelphia Union on Sunday night. He told reporters he was not angry at
being left off the USA roster, but he was instead disappointed after having what he felt was a strong camp.
Ridge Mahoney: Without the prince, the sacred quest continues
"Based on my performances leading
up to camp, based on my preparation for the camp, based on my fitness, based on my workload, based on the way I trained and played in camp, I not only thought I was part of the 23, I thought I was in
contention to be starting. That's why this has all been pretty disappointing."
Donovan had a different assessment of his camp than Klinsmann, who said Friday that other players were ahead of him.
"I think I was at least as good
as everyone else at camp," he said, "so from that standpoint I don't agree with it. I'm pretty honest when it comes to my assessment. When I say I don't play well, I didn't
play well. When I say I played well, I think I played well. I think I trained and played very well in camp. I think I was one of the better players, so that's why it stings a little. Like I said
before camp, if I had gone in and didn't feel like I deserved it, then I can live with that, but that's not the case here."
Donovan said he was ready to contribute at
whatever position Klinsmann asked him to -- "I think I have a lot of versatility" -- and remains ready to rejoin the team in case of an injury.
"That's what I've been working
for my entire life," he said of playing in the World Cup. "I don't wish any body ill will. I hope everyone stays healthy."
Soccer America at Stanford
Training Camp:
Mike Woitalla: German 'Tank'
aims to serve on U.S. frontline
Mike Woitalla: 'Good brotherhood' at U.S. World Cup prep camp
Kennedy: Dempsey 'privileged' to be Captain America

Paul Kennedy: Timmy Chandler
responds to Klinsmann's encouragement
Mike Woitalla: Father's advice pays off for Fabian Johnson
Woitalla: DaMarcus Beasley's roller coaster ride on upswing
his disappointment, he said it was important that everyone rally around the national team.
"I think it's also very important that after today we all move forward and support this
team," he said, "because they have a big task ahead and I have a lot of friends on that team and teammates that I want to focus the energy and move it toward supporting them so we can have a
successful World Cup."

I know it has been a long time since I posted a diary, but life is different for me now. This past April 26th, I turned 10 years old. Yes, I am older and now my body is no longer the same. I move slower than even a year ago. I don't have the energy like I used to, but I know I am loved. When my diabetes came back, my mommy and her family did whatever they can to make me comfortable. I love them a lot. I so happy I became part of this family. They have loved me tons. I know my time on this earth is coming soon to an end, but I know I will be waiting for my mommy at the Rainbow Bridge.
I know it has been a long time since I last chatted with you. I am sad. My sister, Rose, is confined to her crate. She had been fixed, but she is not healing well. I miss her running around with me. Well, she ran, while I trotted after her. Boy, she is fast!
There is this little ball of wiggly that keeps chomping on my tail. i have had to let her twice that I am big sister, but she does not listen. She thinks she is the queen of the yard. Sorry toots, but I have claimed that title. I like her though. I let her sleep on my bed, but I don't like it when she pees on it. She grabs my ball, but I know she wants me to play with her. At the end of a tiring day we sleep together. I am beginning to like her. Stay tuned for me of my new adventure...

Adresss is not thw one in the website. And im not picky at all, I've slept everywhere but this was so bad that i decided to go somewhere else even though i didnt get any money back from my reservation. Choose any other hostel than this!

After the World Series MVP's facial hair brought in nearly $11,000 ($10,877.77, to be exact) to Gillette's Movember charity, which raises money and awareness for prostate and testicular cancer, he's selling off his celebratory safety gear to support his David Ortiz's Children Fund. Both the goggles and the helmet are signed by Ortiz. (Unfortunately, they don't come with a complimentary bottle of champagne.)
The bidding for each item starts at $1,000, and goes until 7:30 PM on Dec. 14.
Now all that seems to be missing is a promotional MasterCard commercial…
Beard trimmings: $10,877.77
Signed goggles: $1,000.00
Autographed helmet: $1,000.00
15-liter bottle of champagne: $100,000.00
Winning the World Series and taking home the MVP trophy?
