Between the answers on this thread, and the other recently posted thread concerning "au jus" recipes, I'm very much beginning to doubt the credibility of a number of the posters here.

They are t.v shows, most of them , if not all , intended for entertainment purposes and ratings, I think we can all assume that to be true. If we imbibe anything from them, all the better.
Don't fuss over the "au jus" thread, everyone is allowed to give an opinion or viewpoint.

We lost the remote to the TV about 8 years ago when we threw out the couch. So I guess you could say I haven't watched many--if any--cooking shows. I do catch the odd one every now and then. Not impressed.
Saw a good one, "Ace of cakes" or something like that, saw a few good techniques and ideas, talented people.
But-tum-ahhh, well...the show didn't mention how many man-hours went into the cake, and what it sold for. I think this is why I get the "hairy eyeball" when a customer gives me a 20 yr old photo of M & D's wedding and want's me to execute it in coloured chocoalte on a 3 tier cake and expects the whole thing to cost $99.00.
I wonder if any of the shows, "reality" or not, ever explain what salaries are like, or the fact that ther are no qualifications to base salaries on in the kitchen.
Maybe I could get a double "d" size bra and get my back waxed and go on air and explain it.........

I watch "unique eats" on the cooking channel pretty religiously. Its a lot like "the best thing I ever ate" that used to be on the food network but better. Gives you a look at signature dishes from great restaurants all across the country. No real instruction and definitely no drama, its all about the dishes. I learn something or recieve some form of inspiration from every episode.

Let's be honest, in our industry, we're prone to over-exaggerate the real dangers of our profession, both to bolster our own perceived skill, and also to discourage amateurs from taking any unnecessary risks or making us liable. But in so doing, we can actually spread false information that may end up doing exactly the opposite of what we intended in the first place.
As an educator, I've run across many examples of how misinformation – even when intended to act as a warning – created false expectations on the relative dangers of fire performing. I wanted to share one of these stories to demonstrate just how crucial honesty and integrity can be when educating the next generation of fire performers.
In December of 2009 I released a DVD teaching people how to eat fire. Since then I've become the "go to gal" for questions regarding Fire Performance. I do my best to answer every email, tweet and phone call because I feel somehow responsible to these people.
Just before Christmas I got a phone call from a concerned parent whose 16 year old son wanted to start eating fire and spinning poi. She wanted to get some cold hard facts about the real dangers of fire performance since she was contemplating getting him something fire related for Christmas. Now that's a cool Mom.
These are always the hardest conversations to have since, like any performer, I don't want to getting sued into oblivion. The first instinct is to "cover your butt", and the disclaimer "don't try this at home" has become a kind of metaphysical shield against litigation. I was a teacher at private schools and organizations like Boys and Girls club for years, so I have a good understanding of both how brilliant and how irresponsible teens can be and I don't want to be held accountable if he turns out the be the latter.
I began by explaining – as best I could – the worst case scenarios. She listened patiently while I tried to lay out the gory details.
"Many fuels we use are slightly toxic and/or carcinogenic"
"Inhaling the flame can collapse a lung or cause a heart attack"
"Exposure to concentrated kerosene fumes will cause pneumonia"
"Burns are extremely painful and can cause nerve damage, disfigurement or even death"
Despite these all being 100% true facts, I felt as though I hadn't given her the full story. While the dangers are real, fire performance accidents, on average, aren't very common and with the right safety precautions the relative risks can be minimized. While accidents inevitable occur, the right training and knowledge can drastically minimize the risk of serious damage.
I was personally trained – by an expert, mind you – at the age of 16. I went on to perform about two shows a month without injury or accident till 18 when the combination of my overconfidence and an unfamiliar new trick caused me to accidentally burn the skin off my upper lip. Thanks to the meticulous safety measurements in place I healed quickly, and never posed any threat to the safety of the venue or audience. Since the incident, the company that hosted the event has hired me back for 4 consecutive years.
Age is not always the best gauge of which individuals will have the respect and responsibility to a safe performer. I have worked with all kinds of people, both in my classes and over the years of traveling. I've seen first hand the maturity and understanding of select 20 year old students while an other gentleman smoked carelessly over open fuel containers. Older is not always wiser in our industry.
The reality is that fire performance is like any other moderately dangerous hobby, take mountain climbing, dirt biking, or even skiing for example. The difference is that while you run the risk of seriously injuring yourself with these activities, fire performing has the added risk of burning down your house and everyone in it.
I'm concerned that we're scaring the pants off newbie fire bugs unnecessarily by over-reporting the dangers. The discrepancy between the intense warnings and the reality these people experience when they actually start playing with fire cause many of them to mistrust the actual pertinent safety information later on, and to believe that the precautions outlaid and expected of them are unnecessary or exaggerated.
Freak accidents do occur in fire performance as in life (you can die from a ham sandwich), but for the most part we do tend to exaggerate the dangers of fire performance when speaking to lay people. In doing so, we shoot ourselves in the foot trying to cover our butts by making venues afraid of liability and misinforming new comers and their loving mothers.
In the end I told this concerned woman that it was ultimately up to her to decide if she felt it was an appropriate hobby for her son. I recommended that if she still wanted to buy him something related to fire, to go with a fully stocked safety kit, fire extinguisher and plenty of Burn Free.
I hope I gave her an accurate impression about the real and ever present danger involved in fire performance without giving her nightmares about her house, or her son bursting spontaneously into flames.
Note: With that said, fire performance is a dangerous and life threatening hobby and neither Firepedia nor Carisa Hendrix encourage you to play with fire. Ever ever 🙂

I've been saying no to unhealthy things that I usually love and instead eating much healthier (eggs and sausage instead of deep-fried french toast, stuff like that!)... so I'm going to try my best to keep that up today!

Re: ViewPoint selector
Here is update of ViewPoint selector.
Last month I got several e-mails about support of Graphics3D (ParametricPlot3D
etc). Now it works! Although there were no principal problems the realization
of this feature was not straightforward because of the differences in the
default rendering and the rendering which allows free rotation. I didn't get
any constructive answer from technical support team of Wolfram Research. So the
solution I am using might be not covering all situations and I would appreciate
if you let me know about any bags.

The Chicago Bears announced this afternoon the signing of linebacker Jordan Senn to a one-year contract.
Senn went undrafted in 2008 and played his first year and a half with the Indianapolis Colts before joining the Carolina Panthers in 2009. In five seasons with the Panthers, Senn started just seven games, all of which came in 2011.
His value is purely on special teams. In fact, he was a special teams captain for the Panthers last year. The signing of Senn makes it very unlikely the Bears will retain free-agent linebacker Blake Costanzo.

text: GREER, SC, Oct. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Scio Diamond Corporation (OTC:BB: SCIO) is pleased to announce its commitment to advancing its Patented Diamond Technology in the Healthcare Industry by shifting its Surgical Blade Project from R&D to now presenting its technology for future sales in medical devices. With product in hand, Scio Diamond will now begin to explore, identify, and provide diamond products to potential customers who will customize the diamonds to meet the needs of their device products specifically for the medical industry. Scio Diamond CEO, Joseph Lancia explains, "We grow real diamonds in our labs with our patented technology, and as such, we have the ability to not only produce high grade gemstone products for the jewelry market, but also develop products to client specification for industries such as the medical industry." According to our research, diamond is the only substance known that can maintain a cold-contact surface while effectively transmitting laser energy. The density of its molecular structure permits it to sharpen to an astonishingly fine edge of 25 Nanometer. The diamond blade, which is forty times (40x) sharper than a traditional steel scalpel and durable enough to last up to 200 full surgical procedures, offers surgeons the ability to operate cost-effectively with great precision and improved surgical outcomes. Clinical studies have shown that when the Diamond Laser Surgical System is used, surgery time is significantly reduced and wounds heal faster and with less exuberance and discomfort due to reduced swelling and bruising. The Scio Diamond Blade product, which will be ready for market will initially benefit Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery, Dermatology, ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat), Neurosurgery, Pediatric Surgery, and Orthopedic Surgery. The company will initially target approximately 33,000 office-based surgery practices in the US that perform cosmetic surgery as well as expand to other emerging markets worldwide.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Randy1984 from I have had 10 pairs of these and 1 pair of cotton candy! I love them always lasted a few months with me as a climber thats pretty good and the only reason i replaced them was scratching that i caused if a nose piece was lost i took the othwr one off and filed the nubs off just as comfortable as before!!! As for the rubber it was probly fuel on your hands or something i havent had that problem and never broke a pair in half nor has my 4 yr old

Rated 3 out of 5 by HopsScotch from Cheap Rubber This is my second pair.After the rubber deteriorated on the temples leaving a black residue on the side of my head I replaced them with the same glasses thinking maybe it was a bad run.I will not make that mistake again because the rubber has deteriorated again.I like the fit in the lenses.

Rated 1 out of 5 by SEC230 from Another One Broke Down the Middle I only used mine for sunglasses and only for a few weeks. As many others report they break down the middle. Did not sit on them, did not drop them. Not very safe
Date published: 2014-08-05
Rated 1 out of 5 by Camomonkey from Not a good choice! I had two pair of these that snapped in half within a couple of weeks. I highly recommend Stihl power tools, just not these so called safety glasses.
Date published: 2014-02-19
Rated 2 out of 5 by FireMedic from Pros & Cons Third day wearing them, one nose piece fell off. I found it several hours later. I noticed what looked like a low grade adhesive residue where the nose pieces fit. I immediately picked up some super glue to reattach the piece that fell off & also removed the piece that didn't & did the same thing. I don't anticipate this happening again however what would Stihl have done if I wouldn't have found the missing nose piece? This was an internet purchase & to return ship would have cost almost as much as a new pair. This is a very simple fix that should be addressed immediately.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mitch from Great Customer Service! I'm on my second pair and for a inexpensive pair of safety/sunglasses I think their great. They fit well and are light. I lost my first pair. One of the rubber pads on the bridge part of the sunglasses came off. (They just pop on and off). I called STIHL and they are sending me a new pair! That's great customer service and standing behind their product.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Volunteer from Breaks in the middle After limited use two pair of glasses I owned broke right down the middle. this does not seem to be appropriate for safety glasses. There was no unusual wear or tear.
Date published: 2013-03-24
Rated 1 out of 5 by Sparkplug from These are not safety glasses. There just cool looking sunglasses. After only owning these glasses for a week they broke right down the middle. Something that would break this easy when I was just putting them on could not be considered safety glasses. I don't believe they would protect your eyes from any impact of any kind. They do block out the sun well but do not protect from impact. I would not recommend these to be used as safety glasses as a alternative for real safety glasses.

An overly harsh review score in my opinion. I bought one of these about two weeks ago and it's a solid machine, doesn't feel like a budget laptop at all, looks stylish, has a good keyboard, wireless is superb, it has a great spec, runs like a dream and represents INSANE value for money. This is an excellent budget laptop. Battery life just isn't an issue for me at all as there are several power profiles that are capable of delivering extended usage. (The default profile on mine was 'high performance' and I changed it immediately.)
@McPlopp: I'm glad you're enjoying your product. The 1545's looks are stylish, but glossy wrist-rests are never a good idea. The keyboard IS good, but wireless is by no means superb, since it only goes up to G (not the faster Draft-N) and doesn't have Bluetooth at all. I'm sure it works, but then most laptops do :)
The actual internals are quite impressive for the money, but the battery life IS very poor compared to the competition - just take a glance at our battery benchmarks (where the power profile is kept constant across all notebooks we test). Though admittedly this is not too much of an issue for all users.
As to INSANE value for money, have you seen current pricing on the Akoya? {http://www.trustedreviews.c...}. Aside from this you can get other notebooks offering similar specifications but with features like HDMI, Bluetooth AND better battery life from brand-names like Acer and HP for the same money.
I've recommended this notebook to a friend of mine as he is looking for a cheap 15 incher for the usual computing.
The issues you mention: lack of draft N, and bluetooth are not issues for us because we can specify them in the notebook on dell.ca. As well as a six or nine cell battery.
So I'm wondering, with those negatives not being an issue, would it still be a good buy for him Ardjuna?
I personally hate gloss, but he seems indifferent.
@Ohmz: Going for the Dell direct approach takes away a lot of the negatives in that you can, as you mention, upgrade to nearly everything the base model lacks (except for an HDMI output). However, by the time you've upgraded to things like a webcam, bluetooth and better battery the price has gone up considerably, putting it into a class of better-specified notebooks from the competition. At least, that's the case here in the UK, I don't know what pricing is like in Canada.
Fundamentally, there's nothing much wrong with the 1545, and as long as your friend doesn't mind cleaning the palm-rest after every use, it's an adequate machine for everyday use.
@ Ardjuna - No need to be defensive mate, I'm simply offering some user feedback and it's 100% valid. I maintain that for the casual buyer (probably the target audience for this product?) this is great value for money. HDMi output and bluetooth really isn't important for me at all. (Nor would it be a deal-breaker for anyone interested in a 𧹈 laptop.) To my mind, the wifi is good because it works better than any of the other laptops in the household. It may not be the latest profile of wifi, but again, that really doesn't matter to me. What DOES matter is that it works with my wifi at home and the office seamlessly, keeps a strong signal nearly all the time and it's very easy to manage new connections etc. Value wise, I would fully expect you to know of a trendy corner of the internet where it's possible to get a better deal. (There's ALWAYS a better deal somewhere, unfortunately.) But again, I would argue that the casual buyer (AKA me and many others!) will visit PC World, Currys and Comet. Presently, this is the best value laptop you can buy from those outlets, in my opinion. PS- Liked the review, I'm just challenging the overall score :)
@McPlopp: Wasn't being defensive, just pointing out why I gave the 1545 the score I did . If you go for the direct approach, as I mention in my reply to Ohmz, this does take away many of the negatives, but we reviewed the configuration as it's available from PCWorld and the like.
HDMI output IS important for many people, who want to watch ripped DVDs, shows and other media on their living-room LCD TV rather than their laptop's screen. Sure, most TVs offer D-sub, but quality won't be as good as with a digital connector. As to Bluetooth, there are plenty of devices such as headphones, mice, mobile phones etc that work (sometimes exclusively) with it, and thus again I'd argue it's a handy feature for the average consumer. The lack of a webcam is also going to be a major negative for many.
On the value score, it's really not that difficult to find better specified notebooks (importantly with better batteries to boot) for only a little more than the Dell's 𧹦 asking price from major etailers, even the likes of Currys. Here is a random example from the home page: http://www.currys.co.uk/mar.... More RAM, double the hard drive, a webcam and probably better battery life for 㿎 more...
Having said all that, I do appreciate that it might suit some just fine, and appreciate your feedback; it's always good to get the opinion of someone who owns the product to get another perspective. Glad you liked the review btw :)
I've had mine since 3rd January. All this fuss over the shiny finish! Use an anti static cloth, or carefuly apply silicone furniture polish--problem solved. I'd like HDMI bluetooth and a few other features, but Dell have put the emphasis on quality electronics in the basic product and there is certainly an advance here on the 1525. Many competitors in this class still use Pentium processors. The customers appreciate this. In 80 reviews here a couple mention the limited features, nearly all are lavish in praise of the actual perfomance. Owners, of course, usually 'overrate' their purchases, but to my mind the features issue is bearing heavily on your rating of performance. Mine cost me 𧹇 for 3Gb Ram and 250 hard drive. I could not better that for the money. You mention to McPlopp additional freatures costing 'only 㿎' more--but today 㿎 is a lot of money in the Budget computer field!
i feel that this review is to critical because if you were to buy the specification that is reviewd from the dell website it would be much cheaper and thus better value for money i currently have one of these on order and feel that the specification is great value for money 𧸩 plus 㿉.00 for the coulor upgrade
@Ralph Cook: "but to my mind the features issue is bearing heavily on your rating of performance" - No, in fact it doesn't have any bearing on it at all, as we have a separate Features score. What does affect it (in this case putting the 1545's Performance score down from a possible 8 to a 6) is the terrible battery life, since we don't have a separate score for this.
"You mention to McPlopp additional features costing 'only 㿎' more" - DOUBLE the hard drive size, more memory, better battery AND extra features on the first notebook I looked at on Currys' homepage. I was demonstrating that even for McPlopp's "the casual buyer (AKA me and many others!)" it's not difficult to find notebooks offering far better value for money than the 1545 *as reviewed*. Especially if one actually does a little digging around, it's easy enough to find notebooks offering similar specifications for less. And surely if you're buying a computer that should last you the next few years, the price of a night out/less than 10% of the total price is not that great an amount?
@33639856: We reviewed the 1545 as priced and configured at PCWorld (and other e-tailers) rather than direct from Dell. Though your config still comes to 𧹒, you could probably add one point to the value score at that kind of pricing.
It's interesting to know that battery life has a two point influence on your 'performance' score, which is quite a lot. I hope Dell will do something about this-a 6 cell battery is clearly required as standard and would give at least a genuine 2.5 hours. However, although very many reviewers mention this it does not prevent them giving the 1545 an 8 or 9 rating. Fact is, very few 15.6+ widescreen laptops will ever be more than a few feet from a powerpoint. And I have booked the night out you recommend I take--it'll probably cost all of that 㿎!!
@Ralph Cook: It wasn't a personal recommendation, but I hope you have a great night out :)
As to the 1545, the point is we reviewed the model sold by third parties, not direct from Dell (which is currently a better-value option), and the specific model we reviewed was quite simply not particularly good value for money on any level. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad as such (which is why it still scored a six for value), it's just that there were better value options readily available from other brands.
"Fact is, very few 15.6+ widescreen laptops will ever be more than a few feet from a power point"
Of course some users don't care about battery life, but I can't imagine too many people (who would consider the 1545 in the first place) having enough money to buy a secondary ultra-portable for on the road. I know I used my 15.4in one a lot out and about before getting a netbook.
The one I bought from Tesco has a webcam, but the sacrifice is for Vista Basic instead of Premium. A small price to pay. I would like HDMI and bluetooth, but not a deal breaker. 𧹈 means that this little gadget is good value for money. I agree with your glossy points, but the spec led me down this path.
Hi there.. Thanks for a helpful and well-written review of the Inspiron 1545, but I can't help feeling that time have changed with regards to what Dell offers.. the latest machines on offer give you the options of adding much higher-spec pieces of kit. I know that reviewing Dells is nigh-on impossible since they're so customisable (as if that were a BAD thing!!) but I was wondering if you'd reappraise in a paragraph or so the latest incarnation of the Inspiron 1545. Specifically:
Because in my opinion an P8600 Processor, Free 2 Yr Warranty, 1.3m Webcam, cheap screen upgrade, 4MB Ram, Late-ish discrete ATI Mobility GPU, and Blu-ray for 670 make this a serious contender for Low-Mid-Price buyers, as well as adding a couple points to each rating...
What do you think? How does it compare to non-"entry-level" notebook such as a Studio 15?
Thanks (in advance) for your time...
I bought a dell inspiron 1545@ xmas since then it freezes & has to be turned off with the on/off button,it doesnt recognise all dvd's, the battery life sucks, cant even watch a dvd on battery power, my dock freezes & the dropdown menu doesnt appear, the screen goes black & wont recover. am sick of calling dell @ my expense & going back to original factory settings........help plse ps i wont buy another one
I'm a current Dell Inspiron owner but after about 4/5 years mine no longer seems want to connect to the internet has become extremely slow and has lost the 'w' key since my little boy picked it off! I was just going to purchase the latest version but having read your somewhat mixed reviews I was wondering if anyone can give me a list of good alternatives in a similar price range (I have until today to purchase at the discounted £379 price). Please note I only use my laptop for internet shopping and photos/music pretty much so lack of webcams and extras isn't a must.
Thanks for your very helpful review. I thought the short battery life of my Inspiron 1545 was a defect, and it turns out it really isn't, unfortunately.
I got the 1545 from PCWorld in Mid May and found the following - paid £389.99.
Bad News : It is a Intel T4800 processor, the glossy black is a pain but worse of all there is no HDD use light !
Good News : Comes with a 320Gb HDD, Comes with bluetooth.
The OK news : battery life is poor - I get just over 2 hours watching a movie and slightly more browsing with a 70% dimmed screen.
Bought a 9 cell Dell battery for £69.99 and managed to get nearly 7 hours of life with light use, 70% dimemd screen and in Power saver mode. This battery makes the Laptop much heavier but because of the design provides a back "leg" so it sits really well with the battery in.
Very pleased with it and handles Office 2007, MS Project and MS Visio easily.
I am currently looking for a new laptop, my current one a Compaq Presario C500 i brought for £349 from PC World 1 1/2 yeas ago, both hinges have snapped which has annoyed me.
My Dad who gets a business laptop has a dell and allways had, i think its an Precision M20 or somthing, and has been used in industrial enviroments and has lasted and worked better then mine.
The Inspiron 1545 is the laptop i am going to buy, from the dell website which they have a deal on for £349 and is sooo much better then my current one now. Battery doesnt bother me as it is allways plugged in and if its not it is only unplugged for 30-40 mins max, bluetooth isnt a problem either ok its nice to have built in but i allready have a bluetooth dongle, as for the webcam as well it would be nice built in but i have a external one ready to go. Wireless is never a problem as long as it connects to the router and stays connected. Thank you for this review.
I just got the dell inspiron 1545 as a graduation present and i love it. It works very well and it is great for school. i love that it has vista which i think is very easy to use. also it connects to my wireless internet a lot quicker than our other laptop. overall i think this is a great laptop and it was a great price!
I purchased my laptop in April. From the outset there were problems. For no reason the computer shutdown even with the sleep mode settings correctly adjusted. The shutdown always occurred while typing emails etc. Dell downloaded new drivers, but this didn't rectify it. They sent an engineer out who replaced the motherboard. This didn't work. The computer was sent away and they just put another motherboard in. You can imagine by now I was getting angry and they agreed to replace it with a new one. This they did on June 16th
The second computer does exactly the same. It just shuts down while typing. Dell have offered me a refund. There is something clearly wrong with this model for two computers to shut down repeatedly. The Dell support is poor and frankly a disgrace. Why can they not offer a solution? I would never buy a computer from Dell again, a total waste of my time and hours spent waiting for delivery and return and on the phone. I am one very unhappy customer.
If you are thinking of ordering something from Dell there are a few things to keep in mind. Search the internet for coupon codes. Call Dell and ask about discounts. I order by phone and get better deals than I could have on the internet. Ask about deals on comparable models with similar or better components. I think you get better deals when you order over the phone because I negotiate with them. Shop around, be an informed consumer.
well, the review was spot on but pretty negative. there's a lot of good in this unit. i like the feel and look of the piano wrist rest. sure, i wipe it off everytime i use it, so what? the keys have a great feel, better than most laptops. the colors on the screen are outstanding. no, this is not a gamer's unit and doesn't hide the fact. i think vista is aesthetically cool and have enjoyed using it so far. i bought it to replace an old desktop and could care less about the battery life, which does suck, but it rarely leaves my desk, and when it does, i plug it in. the review did not accentuate the innerds of this thing. this unit is outstanding for the average schmo who looks at facebook, writes papers, checks email, surfs the internet. i have used SPSS on this for statistical analyses and it doesn't break a sweat. movies run great, and who cares about the speakers, i have 2.1 bose speakers hooked up anyway. all in all, quit nit picking and give it a look. it's a mid level book for a great price. should have a webcam, but i don't care about that either.
"both hinges have snapped which has annoyed me" - wow, I think most people (myself included) would be more than 'annoyed' :) if that happened, and after less than two years!
Hope you have better luck with your new purchase, and you're welcome.
The point was that as configured and priced from PCWorld *at the time of the review*, there were plenty of other laptops that offered more for less - and how can anyone argue against that? By now the 1545 could well be an excellent deal direct from Dell.
i just ordered a dell inspiron 1545 i upgraded almost everything even the battery like it is 9 cell now do you know how long it would last
My Dell Inspiron 1545 was bought for me for my Birthday on the 4th of September. I think it is a very handsome Laptop, the shiny finish is very attractive and ease of use is excellent. I was dissapointed and a bit worried after reading these reviews, i havnt had any problems as of late, except for poor battery life which doesnt really matter to me. I was pleasently surpirsed by Windows Vista as i had been told it isnt as good a XP but i found it really organised and easy to use, the toolbars are very handy. I havnt had any problems with connecting to the internet yet. So far i think it was worth every penny and im very very pleased with it, but then that could just be because Ive never had a laptop before and havnt been on a higher spec laptop who knows. so all in all i think Dell have done a great job, does anyone know if the customer service is good standard incase anything does happen to go wrong with it, as i have a 3 year warrenty.

In Your Bedroom
Your bedroom is your sanctuary, so make your work space as inconspicuous as possible. Start by choosing furniture in the Amazing Disappearing Material, clear acrylic, known as Lucite or Plexiglas. (If your room is long and narrow, try setting things up at the foot of the bed, as shown.) Then dress up whatever remains conspicuous in the style of the rest of your boudoir.
What You'll Need
- Lighting: A low, slim glass lamp sheds necessary light on your work while doing its best to contribute to the disappearing theme.
- Furniture: The clear desk and chair are sturdy, but they add no bulk to the room and become all but invisible from certain angles. (They're also easy to clean; just wipe them down with mild soap and water—never ammonia-based cleaners—and an old T-shirt or a microfiber cloth.) Acrylic nesting tables make great platforms. Use the largest for a fax machine or a printer (as shown); the smallest can work well as a perch for a computer tower.
- File storage: Boxes, binders, and other storage elements sit neatly under a nesting table. Since they'll be in full view, choose them as you would decorative accessories, such as throw pillows and lamp shades. Opt for ones that harmonize with the colors and patterns of your decor, or stick with whites and neutrals. Files and papers not needed as frequently can be stashed in under-bed wicker baskets.

NESTs vs NNESTs – What is the big difference?
I still remember the very first time I heard someone talking about the differences between native English speaking teachers (NESTs) and non-native English speaking teachers (NNESTs). It was in a conference, and I unfortunately don't remember the name of the speaker. What he focused on was the differences between NESTs and NNESTs, their strengths and weaknesses. I remember that one of his arguments was that NNESTs tended to be a lot more knowledgeable grammar-wise whereas NESTs had the upper hand when it came to vocabulary and pronunciation. He moved on to say that one of the challenges of NESTs was to study more grammar while NNESTs had to work a bit harder at improving their vocabulary and pronunciation.
Grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation are, as I see it, the tripod of language learning. Each one of these has their own sub-set, and they are to be learned accordingly through certain skills – reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Larsen-Freeman adds a fifth skill – Grammaring – in her (IMO excellent) From Grammar to Grammaring. What we should do, then, is try to come up with the differences that come up in the decisions that are made by NESTs and NNESTs when they are teaching. Do NESTs tend to focus harder on pronunciation and vocabulary and support the view that these are the most important points for communication? Do NNESTs tend to over-teach grammar points (grammar McNuggest??) as they feel a lot more comfortable doing this? Do NESTs avoid teaching grammar for the same reason NNESTs avoid teaching pronunciation and vocabulary – lack of confidence?
Another thing that comes to mind is the idea of communication and accent. These days, there's a large number of people who do not accept that native-like pronunciation is the one model to have. I'm still unsure about this; I just don't think that teachers should feel good about what they've been doing if their learners tell them that they can understand anyone speaking English but native speakers. Sure, intelligibility and communication are the ultimate goal for most language learners – they want to be able to travel abroad and do whatever they want to do without feeling that lack of command of the language is holding them back or that it might put them in trouble while they're happily enjoying their time abroad. However, if we consider that native-like pronunciation is not the model, why is it that many of our learners feel much more secure when they're having classes with a native speaker of the language?
Is the view that native speakers are better teachers because they know how the language really works, and NESTs are much more likely to give learners better examples of natural language, with a lot more use of phrasal verbs, idioms, slang – the real deal – whereas NNESTs will only be able to teach them grammar rules still mainstream among learners? I was thinking about this just this Saturday as I went to a building where I was asked to identify myself. The man who asked me for my information spoke Portuguese very naturally, but (I'm one of these poor teachers who can't simply enjoy life without thinking about teaching), what got me thinking was whether or not a non-native Brazilian Portuguese teacher would be able to teach that in his classes. And that, obviously, led me to another question, would I be able to equip a learner of Portuguese to be able to understand the guy saying something close to /pó zbi/ as Pode subir? Needless to say, I immediately went to English, and started wondering whether or not teachers – NESTs or NNESTs – can, on their own, teach and prepare learners for what they'll face in the real world while engaging in communication with others?
As Karenne Sylvester wrote in her Dogme Challenge #6, there are far more NNESTs than NESTs in the world. And there are lots of successful learners who have never had classes with NESTs. Is it the learner, then, who makes the big difference? What is the role that the teacher has in the process of language development? And does it make any difference if the teacher is a NEST or a NNEST? To be perfectly honest, I don't think that being a NEST or a NNEST makes that much of a difference, especially in this day and time. Even though there's still a part of the world where people haven't got access to computers and the Internet, I don't think this is the case for most cities where English is taught. I might be mistaken there, but I guess people are only interested in learning a foreign language when they see a need to learn it. If you've never been in touch with a particular language, your desire to learn it is likely to remain dormant till you encounter the language. It is based on this assumption – that most people learning English live in an area where they've got access to computers, Internet, TV, movies, and songs – that I state that the division between NESTs and NNESTs is diminishing.
What makes the difference, then? The difference lies in the teacher's ability to instill in learners a desire to become better speakers of the language. The difference lies in the teacher's capacity to respond to learners' needs and help them feel more confident about their knowledge. The difference lies in the teacher always striving to become a better professional and, on account of that, being able to prepare their learners for the world they're going to face. Within the boundaries of one country alone, there are many differences that prevent people from two different regions to understand one another. A good teacher, NEST or NNEST, will probably realise that it's a lot more sensible to rely on corpus research in terms of usage than on his or her personal experience, which might be limited.
NNESTs have a lot of opportunities to become more proficient in the language through the effective use of the technology that is available these days. Reading international newspapers, listening to podcasts, speaking to native speakers is a lot easier to do these days. Conversely, NESTs have myriad courses that prepare them to enter a classroom and teach English and learn how to teach (oh, if only it were easy…). These days, fortunately, many – not most just yet – people in charge of recruitment understand that being a native speaker is not the same as being a good language teacher. Both NESTs and NNESTs have got to always look for ways to improve.
The big difference isn't whether or not one is a NEST or a NNEST, but whether or not one is or isn't a teacher. As Péter Medgyes states in his article When the teacher is a Non-native speaker:
Who is a native speaker? A native speaker of English is traditionally defined as someone who speaks English as his or her native language … The next question that springs to mind is: What qualifies someone as a native speaker? Among the criteria for "native speakerhood," the most oft-cited and, at first glance, most straightforward one is birth (Davies, 1991) … The trouble with this is that birth does not always determine language identity.
Being more knowledgeable in terms of vocabulary and pronunciation is a matter of being more in touch with the language. If a NNEST is constantly reading and listening to native speakers, chances are this teacher will be able to make the same choices a native speaker would when it comes to vocabulary, for instance. Can a NNEST be qualified as a NEST if such is the case? If so, what's the difference, then?

A great post Henrick. I especially liked this observation: "The big difference isn't whether or not one is a NEST or a NNEST, but whether or not one is or isn't a teacher."
To be honest, over the years I've become sick of the 'NESTs are important for pronunciation and developing communication skills' and 'NNESTs know grammar better' arguements. It's all about continuing teacher development and training. A NEST can learn about grammar (and, more importantly, how to teach it) with time and effort and, as you showed in your recent posts on pronunciation, a NNEST can improve with time and effort. As for communication skills, I've seen both NESTs and NNESTs who are great at developing their students' ability to speak, listen and converse (as well as examples from both groups who are not so good at it!).
As you s rightly said, it's all about whether or not you are really a teacher. If you are, then you will never rest on your laurels. You will constantly be reviewing your practice and looking for ways to develop and improve. If that's the case, it doesn't really matter who you are or where you're from… (Damn, should have kept that to myself as a conclusion for my upcoming post :p)
November 15, 2010 at 8:33 am
Hi Henrick
Yes, of course, you're absolutely right. Some excellent points.
But here is the dilemma. What do we say to the client who still insists on having a "native speaker" English teacher? We can try and explain that NESTs and NNESTs are as good as each other, but the chances are they will be at the other school's door before you can say "NNEST". Surely the learner's own beliefs about what is right or wrong should be taken into consideration too, even if they are misguided?
I never really worried about this much myself until I started learning Chinese – and then I found I did actually prefer to have a Chinese native speaker to work with. Somehow it just felt right.
November 15, 2010 at 8:16 pm
Great piece! I really enjoy your posts Rick.
I think it's an embarrassment to the profession that there are so many non-NESTs discriminated against in comparison with NESTs when it's these people who have gone through a tertiary level English teaching qualification, often lasting for years, when the good ol' NEST rocks up with a CELTA and gets the same (or even more) money for the same job. Of course, it's not all about money, but money is a reflection of value and institutions of place more value on the NEST.
November 17, 2010 at 5:58 am
Good stuff.
In my experience, native teachers also focus on grammar although they are much more terrified of it. They just tend to stick with the grammar they know. The focus on grammar is ingrained in how many teachers feel about language learning and not a NEST/NNEST issue.
I'd agree a good teacher is someone that is good at teaching, not merely subject knowledge like grammar or pronunciation. Again, it doesn't matter if they are NESTs or NNESTs. All the Turkish teachers I ever had were terrible and they were all NESTs.
Good language learners learn because they are motivated and have effective strategies. I think a good teacher needs to show a student how to learn best and to provide motivation to do so. They should also be able to recognize gaps and levels so as to effectively support the student's learning.
November 17, 2010 at 6:45 am
Completely agree with your last paragraph, Nick. That's a core belief of mine too, I don't actually think it's possible to teach anyone a language, it makes no sense to me. We can only help them learn, hence the title of my blog!

nice article…as an indian, i feel that just as yoga is being taught in all its forms by people of all denominations, english too can be taught by everyone!
english is about as global a commodity as yoga these days.

Usual stores hours are:
Monday-Saturday 9 a.m. - 9 p.m.
Sunday 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Adoption Centers are maintained by volunteers so unfortunately, someone may not always be available.
Space is limited and we have many more cats and kittens available that are housed in fostercare.
ADOPTION APPLICATION and APPROVAL are required.
Application is available for download in PDF format on our volunteer web site http://www.orgsites.com/ny/cnycatcoalition/
Completed applications can be dropped off at either of our PetSmart locations and the fostercare provider will contact you directly.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a cat or kitten versus getting cats for sale or kittens for sale from a cat breeder? When someone is breeding kittens, they are creating new cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of cat or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a cat for sale from a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a cat or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Celtic Style?!? I'm gonna have to get one of those...
BTW mate, I dont think I shall be able to come up with the funds for this anytime soon...so if you could, please remove me from the list.
Sorry vod!
SAZ it's really great of you to be so understanding of people being slow to scrape money together. Thanks.
To be honest I kind of half expected it. Seriously though, if anyone is having troubles saving, PM me and we can come to a deal.
I'm more interested in getting my reputation up than making money right now!
LOL! What are you like?!
Right! I've had a bit of a think and a chat with my mate after my gig tonight, what I am going to do is this:
1. As far as I am concerned, if you have put your name down on the list then you have reserved yourself a bucket.
2. I will make the bucket and will hold onto it for you until you are able to pay for it. I will take installment payments as long as my paypal fees are covered, which means more expensive in the long term, but you'll be able to get it once the monies are paid.
3. If I have not received any payment (be they full or installment) for the bucket by January then I will advise the reservee that I will be putting the bucket onto general sale, so they have one last chance to purchase it.
If you want to have a chat with me about payments then please PM me, I'll stick A'den near the back until he confirms he's certain he wants off the list.
Hope that's ok with everyone.
Good with me.
woot woot! sorry for everyone elses hardships and any this may be causing you saz but, i'm stoked! i've been dreaming of this bucket on my kit since i first saw your wip pix!
i think i have the money for you now... if i did my exchange rate right. that being the case and knowing you need a few days to finish the molds and get them cast, i can paypal you as early as tuesday the 13th. just pm me the grand total, i'll let paypal int do the conversions for me, and you paypal addy.
Won't be for a while mate, It will take me all week to get the mold finished, then I need to cast the bucket and ancillery items, fiberglass the inside, prep the bucket for holes and bubbles and finally prime the bad boy.
The good part is, with minimun prep, you should be able to start painting it within a couple of days.
You'll know I'll be ready to cast when I stick the conditions of sale up.
Music gig, I'm a professional musician/singer/songwriter and was asked to do a showcase this evening.
that is amazing! I play guitar myself but im not professional. You should post a link so we could hear some of this music
Sending pm in a mo.
I still get #1, you gotta # them and sign them on the inside vod.
I'll be etching my name in mando and the number in roman numerals on the ear piece that gets covered. It'll also get my logo on the inside and I'll write a quick note for you.
Cool! Pity I'm not into dragons so much, but I'll be watching for future lids from ya.
Sweet. Sounds good Saz!
Right, I've just started on the thickened coats, so I'm about halfway through making the mold.
Good news! Yay!
Alrigth i've decided to not get this bucket. Sorry saz Though I will make it a certain effort to save up for the celtic helmet, sorry decided I could only get 1 and I like the celtic better.

Damn this actually tingled my spine, I need a symbiote, hehe.
In 1888, a biologist called Henry Orr was collecting spotted salamander eggs from a small, swampy pool when he noticed that some of them were green. He wrote, "The internal membrane of each egg was coloured a uniform light green by the presence in the membrane of a large number of minute globular green Algae." Orr decided that the eggs "present a remarkable case of symbiosis." The salamanders and the algae co-existed in a mutually beneficial relationship.
Orr was right that the two species have formed a partnership, but he was wrong in one crucial regard. He thought that the algae (Oophila amblystomatis) simply hung around next to the salamander embryos in the same egg. They don't. More than 120 years later, Ryan Kerney from Dalhousie University has found that the algae actually invade the cells of the growing embryo, becoming part of its body.
With algae inside them, the salamanders become solar-powered animals, capable of directly harnessing the energy of the sun in the style of plants.
The spotted salamander isn't the only animal to form partnerships with algae. The emerald green sea slug steals the genes and photosynthetic factories from a type of algae that it eats. Coral reefs are built upon a partnership between corals – a type of animal – and algae that provide them with energy. Many other animals, from sponges to worms have developed similar alliances. But the spotted salamander is the only back-boned animal (vertebrate) to have done so.
Since Orr's discovery, several scientists have teased apart the details of this relationship. With algae in their eggs, the salamanders are more likely to hatch, they do so earlier, and they're bigger and more developed when they emerge. All of this depends on light – the algae need it to photosynthesise and provide nutrients and oxygen to the embryos. If the eggs are kept in darkness, they never accumulate algae. In return for their services, the algae feast upon the salmanaders' waste; if they are presented with eggs that have no embryos inside them, they hardly grow.

[Jack Gould's and John Crosby's newspaper columns]
This episode is from the WNYC archives. It may contain language which is no longer politically or socially appropriate.
In the past two days two things have happened to two of the most important critics in broadcasting: Jack Gould of the New York Times stopped being a critic. Seldes relates a story of one of Gould's articles which resulted in a crime program being removed from the Saturday morning line-up. Another critic "got angry." John Crosby normally did not get mad, but in this instance he became upset about the figures collected by the National Organization for Better Radio and Television - the figures were about the incidents of crime in children's programing. The budget of the 21 programs that the organization found "admirable" was less than the budget of one crime Western. Crosby demanded that the networks take over the creation of children's programs.
Seldes goes on to discuss the implications of "condemned programs," and the limits of the networks.
He goes on to discuss an unofficial group that reports to Congress about programming. He finds this dreadful and would prefer a grassroots organization.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
First off, thanks for the replies. I had a great time riding all over Mammoth now that the whole mountain is open. Definitely put some of the tips to use and got some good results. Also spent much of my time not thinking and just riding. Blasting through trees (finally! thank you snow), riding areas I've never considered before, and all with confidence. I'm also looking at upgrading my board & bindings (current- 08 Gnu Hampus Mosesson & K2 Sonics) so I demoed an Attack Banana with Flux TT30s (5th option for bindings no right sizes in first four choices). Happily surprised how easy turn initiation was with the r/c board, and non-bouncy ride at high speeds with those bindings. I plan on demoing a few more options in the next couple trips too.
To the ride:
For my carving/dynamic turns I did notice my weight being more over the inside of the turn instead of the board on my heelside turns. So I worked on getting over top of the board more and working the angulation as Snowolf mentioned. Still a lot of work to do to get it down, but it did feel like my heel edge was holding longer before skidding at the bottom of the turn. It felt like it clicked on a couple turns with very little skid on both edges.
I tried get the down unweight going and more fore / aft movement as you guys have described. The fore movements seemed to be coming along well. The aft with down unweighting I had some trouble with. Trying to put those two together was causing some issues. I kept finding myself doing one or the other but not both together, especially going heel to toe. Yay, more practice! Of course two days isn't nearly enough time, but I can feel how it could possibly come together at some point for better turns.

You might have to learn to compensate a little bit by slightly changing you binding angles. Another thing that I have done is use a little less forward lean on my rear binding than I do on the front. Play around with your equipment and see if you can solve the issue with a slight adjustment. If not, you are going to have to work on using some hip rotation to counter this tendency to have the rear foot slip forward on you.
Didn't try any grabs, but did get popping more on straight airs- mostly on side trail hits. Did 8 park jumps with nice pop and landing on 7. The missing one- I knew I didn't have the speed but went off anyway, cased it on the knuckle then SMACK straight to tailbone and back of the head. Definitely one of those happy I wear a helmet hits. The demo board had really nice and easy pop off the lips too.
Tried all four 180s, all on side hits. Mostly successful landings. Figured out it's way easy for me to go counter-clockwise- BS and Cab then going FS or Switch BS.
Switch- didn't ride all that much switch this time out. But I did feel like my vision was opening up a little more than what I remember from my first trip this season. Picturing the different phases of the turn from gjsnowboarder's graphic really seemed to help. And I think snowolf is right on the money with the dominate eye thing (which I also think ties into my Bs & Cab 180s being easier)
Now if I could just get the vids from my buddy....

I know I catch myself in bad posture (hunching over in my shoulders) at work and not sitting with a straight back. It could be I'm unknowingly doing that while riding too, and I've got a feeling I'm probably opening my shoulder up past my nose- this opening referring to actual twist in my spine. I'm riding at +15/-12 so I know I shouldn't be opening too much, but probably why I'm not getting the thinner carve lines heelside. I'll definitely give the fore / aft movements a go and try the different unweighting techniques
gjsnowboarder- thanks for your detailed instructions. Maybe a stupid question, but what is "CM" in your explainations? Centered mass? I get the gist of what you said, but unsure of this term. And thanks for the switch diagram, makes a lot of sense.
As for the hunched back where the bend might be the worse. Typically its at the waist/hip level not necessarily at the shoulder level that causes issues. Your back is supposed to have a natural curvature. When you try to correct this it is possible to over straighten or hold your back to tight. In a heel side turn this could cause you to full body lean up the mountain and use your arms as a counter balance( arms come out voer your toeside to counter balance the leaning or departure of the CM from the heelside to over the snow). The other misalignement in the other direction is called breaking at the waist. This is represented by the back coming over the toeside of the board but the butt hanging out past the heelside edge. Due to the butt shifting the lower half weight of the person over the snow and counter movement of the upper body weight is then need to keep the CM over the heel edge. Both of these moves can be cause improper alignment and ineffective/ineffecient riding.
Using your hips for alignment and focusing on them might be the real fix. Free up the hips by scooping the butt underneath the upper body can be a very usefull movement. On heelside think of pinching your butt cheeks together lightly. On toeside turns think of pressing your hips forward. a way to practive this is to grab an exercise ball and back up to a wall. Place the ball into the small of the back, now do squats, and feel your back form to the curvature of the ball. Notice as you drop down how your knees may flare out over the pinky toes to be able to get lower. Remember to keep your weight on you heels. Now use that movement and alignment in your heelside turns on a snowboard. For the toesides, use the ball again. turn around to face the wall with the ball inbetween. press your hips forward into the ball and try moving up and down this time focusing keeping your hips foward. Remember the ankles will come into play here and you will want to keep your weight on your toes to mimic riding your toeside. If there is a mirror handy you will be able to critque yourself and feel the movements necessary to create any weird back alignment you might experience.
Hope this wasn't to wordy, seems I have typeria tonight.

In boarding closed shoulders mean exactly what wrathfuldeity stated:
Another way to think about is your board is a doorway and your shoulder and hips are the door. The door is open when from left to right side of your body is not inline with the nose and tail of the snowboard. For example: I ride with regular stance(left foot forward). So my door is closed when my left should is pointed in the same direction as the nose of my snowboard and my right should is pointed in the same direction as the tail of my snowboard. This is the easy way to determine if I'm in the proper stance. Because my angle of binding on my left foot is a positive 18 degree my shoulders will vary 18 degrees from the nose of the snowboard when I am riding closed(i.e. snowboarding reference alignement Shoulder, hips, and knees are perpindicular to the front foot). When my shoulders move from this alignment my door is opening or closing in the direction of a certain edge toe or heel side. Typically when we say open the lead shoulder may be aimed at a higher angle then my lead foot. In this case my shoulder's would be open if I pass the 18 degree alignment meaning the front of my body is aimed more to the nose then to the toeside of the board.
The picture you posted deals with posture or bend in the spine. Being hunched over could have an effect on which edge is being pressured(i.e. another reference alighment : Weight between the feet and over the working edge), but most likely in this case is not a main cause of the board kicking out. The board kicking out probably means there is a pivot effect on the boards interaction with the snow. A twist in the spine could cause a rotationary force with lack of pressure which can cause unattended pivot in the board.
Hope this clears up the statement of "open shoulders".

try constantly remind yourself to bend your knees and keeps your shoulders open and squared, this helped me a lot.
also commit to the turn put some good pressure on those edges.

Carving / Dynamic Turns:
I spent a lot of time working on this, trying to remember everything the vids from snowolf, SA, and snowprofessor said. I tried to keep my range of motion in the 3-8 range, but it's hard to tell for sure without going to the videotape. I seemed to have toeside carves going fairly well. I could see that I had a nice thin 'c' shaped line as I looked at my tracks. But heelside- a different story, every single turn was a wider path, more of a skid- what can I do to improve this? It feels like my shoulders are lined up with the board properly, I'm bending my knees and keeping loose (at least it feels like it). I also have a hard time on my heelside when trying ride flat (as close to flat as I can- slight on edge)- my back foot tends to skew out from behind my front foot (back toes out farther than front toes if this makes sense). Are these two problems related?
Your problems are not related most likely. For the skidded out heelside turn try these two exercises.
1. As you are turning on the heels remember to look across the fall line into the direction you are turning, Progressively raise your toes as you are turning(thinking like ratching your straps moving your toes up a click at a time). Remember to look across the hill and don't get stuck looking down it. Looking down it usually means you are park and riding and no longer actively moving.
2. Second try this small opposing movement. Like making a flutter kick while swimming push or let your front foot push down the mountain, with your back foot pull up the mountain and into the snow. First try this in just a traverse then in your turns after initiating the turn. This will for both heel and toeside turns. The amount of movement can be measure in milimeters.
As for riding flat terrain on your board being slightly on your heels, this could be caused by your shoulders and hips being open to the nose of your snowboard. when you loose pressure management with the snow your spine trys to unwind causing your board to pivot on the snow and becoming perpindicular to the direction you are trying to ride. This can cause a "catch" feeling with the board edge. try not to ride quite as open and with some more knee and ankle bend(flex) so that you manage changes in terrain by keeping your baord in contact and your spine straight without any built up twist.
I also noticed, while looking at my lines, that I had little to no track in the transition between heel and toe, and later realized while riding I kinda do a very small hop transition between edges. Is this the down-weighting / un-weighting I've been reading about? And also, I seen mention of fore and aft movements for carving turns. Can someone explain in a little more detail what is meant by this?
This is a method of up-unweighting. Your cm moves up away from the snow.
Fore/Aft movement means moving toward the nose(Fore) and or toward the Tail(aft). Starting into a turn with your weight more over the front foot and moving back toward the rear foot through the control phase allows you to manage pressure more effectively where it is needed during the phases of the turn (Initiation, Control(apex), and finish). If your try this movement try not to let your weight shift all the way back to the tail but instead feel like it is starting over the front foot and moving back to slightly back of center toward the rear foot on the board. Exercise to practice this movement or nose/tail stands, nose/tail manuals, pendulming, and riding nose heavy and then tail heavy while still trying to do s-turns.
I get a sense that the up / down motion for dynamic turns is much like pumping a half pipe on a skate, but instead of using to transitions to gather speed on a pipe, you're using the carves to gather speed? Is this a proper analogy?
It is a good way to think about it. The following describes first the CM is doing at the begining or initiation of a turn and then through the control phase of the turn( the round part of a C)/
Up-unweighting - the riders CM moves up and away from the snow. During the turn the rider leg Flex increases(lowering CM toward the board), at the finish of the turn the rider extends up moving CM away from the snow.
Down-unweighting - the riders CM move down toward the snow. During the the turn the riders legs Extend(pushes) causing the CM of mass to move away from the board. At finish of turn the rider lowers back down towards the snow.
Retraction - The rider pulls the board up toward their CM. CM keeps the same distance from the snow. At intiation the riders legs pull the board up toward the riders CM.
So I attempted and landed my first jumps of any kind over the holidays, and was pretty stoked to pull some off. I concentrated on mainly straight airs off park jumps (as very few side hits existed at the time). Getting used to popping off the lip was a lot of fun, and then I stepped it up by going switch... and landing it first try and the only landing switch. Pumped to say the least. I also attempted a few 1s but only landing two (1 FS and 1 BS). This was the last 3 days of my trip and my legs were pretty beat by then and I just didn't have the energy fully commit to it. Enter painful landings... haha. Anyway, I wanted to know when a good time is to start attempting grabs? Should I master 1s first? Get better at popping higher first?
You can start trying grabs as soon as you start straight airs. Remember when grabbing the board you bring the board uptoward you not bend down and grab the board. That later movement can through you off axis in the air.
I saw in another thread about flicking the hips for 1s more so then a wind up. I'll be trying this out soon. Makes a lot of sense.
So for 3 days a friend that is regular footed started her first time snowboarding. She took lessons the first day, and my friends and I took turns helping her learn the next 2. Bonus for me being goofy is that it forced me to learn switch. By the end of her 3rd day, I could link my switch turns down the Schoolyard bunny slope, but definitely took some shots on the tailbone trying to learn (I always fall back). My problem is I seem to get tunnel vision riding switch, looking only at my nose, or legs, or one turn ahead. Then BAM! Edge caught and I'm flying. Is this normal? I guessing my vision will open up more with more time spent?
Yes, when people are concentrating on riding switch they tend to look down at their feet to make sure they are making the movements and forget all about where they are going. To fix this seperate the movements you want to make into 4 reference parts 1 - across the hill, 2- diagonal down the hill 3 - Straight down the hill, 4 - Diagonal down the hill: This can also be used as reference for where to look and where the nose of your board should be pointing: see pic
which edge do you usually catch?
try constantly remind yourself to bend your knees and keeps your shoulders open and squared, this helped me a lot.
also commit to the turn put some good pressure on those edges.
For your heelside turns, you might be swinging your back foot out a little too quickly, which results in more of a plow than a carved turn. Get some speed up (nothing crazy), then slowly transfer your weight to your heels and bend your knees. Let your board "slice" through the snow and keep it on its edge, traversing rather than sliding down the hill. When I do it slowly like this, I can almost feel the board "take" me through the turn on its edge. You'll be going sideways, so eventually you'll run out of space and need to transition to toe, maybe even just stop at the end of the heelside carve and look at your track.
BTW, I'm not an instructor, just a fellow 2nd year guy who likes to get better every time I go out.

#1: Big/tall kid - short parents?
Anyone have a child or children that are taller than you and their father? My son is 5'5", just turned 13 and he is already taller than me (not hard, I'm 5'1") and his dad is just 5'8". He already wears a man's size 10 shoe and his dad wears an 8.5/9. I have a feeling he is going to tower over us both.

my cpl 30.30 motion was denied in NYS court even though the DA didnt respond to same in affidavit but answered the motion "orally" is this legal?
Question Details:
M.T.G., Member, New York Bar / FreeAdvice Contributing Attorney Answered 7 years ago| Contributor
Yes, this is legal. CPL 30.30 gives the Prosecutor a certain amount of time to bring a case to trial after a party is arrested. It is 6 months for a felony. Under the law in New York the Statute requires that only the Defendant has to make a 30.30 motion to dismiss in writing. The DA can respond orally.
