As of November 1, 2016, this housing has been replaced with an updated version Product Number 6970.03. Upgrades are not available at this time, but may become available sometime in early 2017.
TTL or "Through-The-Lens" flash metering means the camera controls flash duration to properly expose an image. Unlike fiber optic systems, which attempt to copy the behavior of the camera's built-in flash, this unique housing for the Canon EOS 100D Rebel SL1 provides direct, electrical transmission of this TTL signal to the any current model Ikelite DS strobe.
Since the camera is talking directly to the strobe, the camera's built-in flash does not need to fire. This dramatically increases battery life and virtually eliminates the recycle lag, allowing the camera to be triggered in more rapid succession than with optical-based systems. When shooting a fast moving object, this make the difference between going home with the shot or just talking about it. Additionally, in-line communication between the strobe and the camera completely eliminates signal interference and false triggering caused by light rays bouncing off the water's surface or your buddy's flash going off.
The Ikelite-style electrical bulkhead is widely recognized as the most reliable waterproof strobe sync connection available.
We've packed a lot in a small package, only slightly larger than the EOS 100D camera and just as comfortable to hold. Set up is a snap with simple, fully front-loaded camera installation. The camera mounting shoe is designed to be unobtrusive and allow changing of battery and memory cards, or attachment to a surface tripod without being removed from the camera. A smooth-action, sensitive shutter trigger is right at your fingertips whether holding the side of the housing or the optional dual tray with quick release handles. Controls are provided for all camera functions except for the rear touchscreen, so you have complete creative control anywhere you go. For a system of this caliber, a tray with handle is essential to good handling, balance underwater, and attachment of external lighting. The complete handle assembly removes with just two nut for traveling.
This housing comes standard with a optical grade acrylic dome port with zoom ring. This port provides sharp images and zoom capabilities with both the Canon EF-S 18-55mm STM kit lens, plus the popular Tokina 10-17mm lens. Minimal vignetting (dark shadows in the corners of the image) will be present in the 10-12mm range when used the Tokina lens. A special zoom gear system allows the camera with lens attached to be installed from the back of the housing, without requiring removal of the dome port.
An optional zoom sleeve (Product Number 5509.20) is available for use with the Canon 10-18mm STM lens, sold separately. This lens is accommodated by the standard dome port with no vignetting.
The dome port may be removed without tools to attach the optional Mirrorless Flat Port Macro Extended for use with the Canon EF-S 60mm Macro lens. Simply loosen the securing thumb screws and slide the port off. The optional Flat Port allows use of the 60mm Macro lens in auto-focus mode and features 67mm front threads for the optional attachment of macro converter wet lenses. This Flat Port can also be combined with the DLM 2.2 Inch Port Extension for use with the Canon 100mm USM IS Macro lens. The Lens Extension allows for auto focus only.
This housing was built to be the ultimate in compact, streamlined travel. Therefore this housing is not compatible with Fixed Lens Ports or Modular Lens Ports from our standard DSLR Lens Port System.
Lens Port Chart for Canon EOS 100D Rebel SL1
Effective January 1, 2015, Flat Port product number 9304.53 is now offered as Mirrorless Flat Port Macro Extended product number 5516.50. These two product numbers are identical and may be used interchangeably.
Special polycarbonate blends allow us to create an extremely strong yet clear and lightweight enclosure. We believe there's no substitute for inspecting the actual o-ring seal once your housing is closed. Our signature clear construction lets you see that the housing is watertight and dry before you enter the water, and provides full view of the camera while you're diving. Polycarbonate is fundamentally corrosion-resistant for easy maintenance year after year.
Like every Ikelite product, this housing is designed, built and tested in the USA. We use locally sourced, top-grade materials. Our housings are built by hand and individually tested for fit, function and waterproof integrity. We pride ourselves in being readily available to help our customers with any need. We back our products with over 50 years of experience and the best service in the dive industry.
The MSRP referenced is a suggested US market retail price. Actual sales prices are set exclusively by Authorized Ikelite Dealers. Shown with camera, not included.

On February 27, AMF announced the sale to the public. AMF had originally purchased Harley-Davidson in 1969. The deal was brought about in order to save Harley-Davidson from liquidation. In late 1980, there was talk of AMF selling the company again. In order to prevent this, thirteen Harley-Davidson executives came together and invested the money to purchase the company back from AMF. This resulted in the sale of the company on June 16, 1981 back to Harley-Davidson investors with the slogan, "The Eagle Soars Alone."

Technical Abstract: The correct harvest method for kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L., Malvaceae) is dependent on many factors, including production location, equipment availability, storage options, processing plans, plant utilization, and economics. Since its first domestication, kenaf has consistently been hand-harvested for use as a cordage crop (rope, twine, and sackcloth). The bark portion, which contains the bast fiber strands for cordage, was hand stripped, bundled, and placed in water for the retting process. The USDA, universities, and private industry have developed an assortment of mechanical harvesters and post-harvest equipment to separate bark from the core material, and the bast fibers from the core fibers. With the advent of new uses for the entire kenaf stalk, additional equipment has been evaluated and used for whole stalk harvesting. The development of these whole-stalk harvesters has taken two major approaches; sugarcane-type harvesters and forage-type harvesters. One important consideration for all harvesting and processing systems is the 75% moisture content of actively growing kenaf plants. Once kenaf stalks are dried, harvest and processing methods selected must reduce the potential limitations and disadvantages of the plants' low bulk density for storage and transportation.

Leaving Gold for God -- An interview with Sally Ward
Editor's Note: Of all the stories of gymnastics and faith we have heard (and begun to document at our feature on Gymnastics, Faith and Olympic Glory), Sally Ward's is certainly among the most interesting, since her faith required her to walk away from her Olympic dreams.
Sally was first taken to gymnastics classes at the age of 4, after her parents saw her flipping and cartwheeling around the house. Her parents soon withdrew her from her gym and brought her back four years later. Sally went on to become the top-ranked rhythmic gymnast in the country, but she walked away from an all-but-assured position on the 1996 Olympic Team when she heard a calling from God in a hotel in Paris.
Timothy Dalrymple spoke with her by phone.
Your star rose quickly in the world of rhythmic gymnastics when you were a young teenager. Did you excel right from the beginning? How did God factor into your career?
Actually, I wasn't good at rhythmic gymnastics at first. In my first competition, I bawled my eyes out. I loved training, but I was shy and insecure and did not want to compete in front of the crowd. So I cried the whole time. At my first national championships, when I was 11 years old, I came in forty-third out of four-four gymnasts.
I began as a terrible rhythmic gymnast. Then I committed my gymnastics career to God. My dad had led me to Jesus when I was four years old, sitting on his lap on a rocking chair. But I was twelve years old when I really began growing in God and depending on Him. I committed to doing gymnastics as a form of worship to God. I didn't want to quit. I just wanted to do my gymnastics unto the Lord.
The next year, when I was 12, I placed fifth at the national championships and earned a spot on the national team. Then six months later, when the members of the national team competed for a re-ranking and for assignments to international competitions, I got first.
I went from forty-third place to first place in the span of 18 months. God had everything to do with that. As I committed my life and my career to Him, God became my helper. The woman who trained me brought in another coach from Bulgaria, and that too was God's doing. God brought together the team of coaches that I needed.
So yes, I definitely see God's hand in bringing me to the sport and bringing me through it. It's all used for Him. It's not like there was gymnastics and then my relationship with God was something different on the side. God is my life and he was using the sport for Him. It's a blessing to me to be a part of it, but it's all about Him.
You've become well known for the way in which you left gymnastics. Just to get the whole story in place before we discuss other things, please tell us how you discerned that it was time for you to leave.
I was on a world tour with the national team, and my teammates and I were all headed to the Olympics. That was our goal, our focus. Right before the World Championships, I woke up on October the 9th in a hotel room in Paris. I sat up in my bed, and the words of the Holy Spirit arose in my heart: It's time to go home.

text: Viral videos of the week: Tarantino, McFly, a ghost and a trombone What a week it's been for viral videos! Let's try to process it together with these five hand-picked corkers Comments Written By Jack Seale 6:19 PM, 11 January 2013 1. Mr Pink With RageThis week's top celeb v interviewer smackdown sees leading movie anthologist Quentin Tarantino get in a scrape on Channel 4 News. The question in question is the one about whether violent movies lead to more real-life violence: yes, it's a bit of an old one and yes, Tarantino isn't lying when he says he's answered it a bajillion times before. Still, his idea of what interviews are for is pretty hilarious. The highlight? Probably our Krish drawing himself up to his full height (not easy sitting down, but The Murth manages it) and reminding Quents that this is a news programme, not a dirty stinking film show. 2. It's all about TomThe winner of the internet this week is Tom Fletcher, the senior vice-president at McFly Enterprises, Inc. He had a wedding where he did a speech, which was filmed. Some people thought it was all a bit embarrassing. Millions of McFly fans - or "McFlans" as they insist on styling themselves - disagreed. 3. Like, total football?Another frighteningly good team goal by a short-passing kids' eleven, and amazingly they're yet again not English. AO Giannina are the stars of a clip that heralds a 12-0 victory for Greece against England at the 2018 World Cup. 4. Food to ghostA brilliantly executed prank by a man dressed as a car seat. An order is made at a drive-thru cholesterol restaurant. The car comes round to collect it. There's nobody driving. Apart from the fun of the servers' physical reactions - one young woman even does the "turn away to wipe your brain, then quickly turn back" thing I thought was only in movies - the vid is a useful almanac of the various ways in which American people convey the sentiment: "I am surprised by this turn of events." 5. Slide rulesA dead simple idea, but you didn't think of it first: a man films himself playing the trombone, with a camera mounted on the slidey doodah. Indefinably funny. He's a proper musician too, for the New York Philharmonic, so the actual tromboning is deeply satisfying also. Like this? Share it.

Shearer's Goal of the Week
BBC Sport Online's Goal of the Week is Alan Shearer's volley for Newcastle against Aston Villa.
The former England captain described it as the best goal of his career - and there have been a few.
Certainly Shearer laid to rest any doubts that he can still cut it at the highest level.
His junior partner Craig Bellamy was sent racing down Newcastle's left flank, leading Villa's Turkish defender Alpay a merry dance.
Bellamy checked, fed the ball back and it was helped on to Robert Lee.
Lee - Shearer's oldest and closest friend at St James' Park - knew where his old pal would be and stroked a diagonal right-foot cross into the Villa box.
The master marksman peeled off his marker Alan Wright and met the ball in mid-flight with the side of his right-foot.
It was a goal from the moment it left him - giving Peter Schmeichel no chance as the ball flew into his top right-hand corner.
"It has to be up there as one of the best, if not the best", said the 31-year-old, who was making the 400th league appearance of his career.
Shearer smiled: "I didn't mean to put it in that square of the corner, but the one just beneath it.
"I would have looked a fool if it hadn't gone in, wouldn't I? But you try these things and it came off, so I'm delighted."

WorldNetDaily's Molotov Mitchell is out with a new video decrying the right-wing's traditional method of attacking Sharia law. Mitchell points out some blatant hypocrisy among conservatives, as many of the draconian rules found in Islamic law are also found in the Bible, which many Republicans want to use to craft civil law. But as a self-proclaimed "zealot," don't expect Mitchell to make a case for classical liberalism or secular government.
Instead, Mitchell argues that the government should impose laws according to the Bible.

Talk:San Fierro Tattoo Parlor

This includes commenting on the article, questioning whether it is correct, or adding suggestions for improvements
Questions about GTA games, not about the wiki page itself, should be asked at Community:Questions.Remember to always add your signature to the end of your comments/replies using four tildes:
What should we do about the differences between the original PS2 version and the rest of the versions? Only on the PS2 version that this tattoo parlor is hidden and normally inaccessible. Versions released after this fixed this error and is no longer inaccessible. Should this be merged or kept separate?--Spaceeinstein 16:28, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
I agree, it should be merged and clearly stated that the absence of that tatoo parlor in the PS2 version was probably a mistake by R* and that it was fixed in the XBOX and PC version. As well it should be mentioned that it is accesible in the PS2 verrsion trough the interior universe (Black hell)--TOK 715 19:29, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
- If that's the case, this parlor may actually be Hemlock Tattoo, since it's the only parlor in SF. So there isn't any more need for this article. It has been merged. - ZS 18:03, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

SFS Alumna Irizarry to Accept Forum Award
The School For Field Studies (SFS) Alumna Alyssa Irizarry Awarded The Forum on Education Abroad Undergraduate Research Award for Muralism Research in Mexico
Salem, Massachusetts - April 7, 2011 - The Forum on Education Abroad will award Alyssa Irizarry, a spring 2009 alumna of The School for Field Studies (SFS) environmental study abroad program in Baja California Sur, Mexico, one of two 2010 Undergraduate Research Awards at the Seventh Annual Forum Conference in Boston, Massachusetts on Friday, April 8, 2011.
Irizarry's research, conducted during the SFS semester abroad program Conserving Marine Resources and Coastal Ecosystems in Baja California Sur, Mexico, was judged by Forum-member faculty to be among the highest quality academic research of undergraduates studying abroad.
Irizarry, a 2010 graduate of Tufts University who double-majored in environmental studies and art history, found evidence that sea turtle murals in Baja California Sur, Mexico have positive effects on community pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors.
"Alyssa's work helped to highlight the importance of public art in raising awareness of endangered sea turtles and marine mammals. Her work is a tribute to conservation efforts by local communities on the Baja Peninsula and all over Mexico to preserve these amazing organisms," said Dr. Gustavo Hinojosa, director of The SFS Center for Coastal Studies.
"We are so proud of Alyssa and this research, which has far-reaching implications for environmental conservation education in Mexico and beyond," said SFS President Bonnie R. Clendenning.
In addition to this award, Irizarry's research will be featured in The Open Ocean, a permanent exhibition at the Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey, California, which opens in July 2011. Her research also earned her The School for Field Studies bi-annual Distinguished Student Researcher Award for academic excellence and for reinforcing the mission of the marine animal conservation movement in Mexico.
Irizarry will be presenting her research at the Forum Conference Lunch Plenary, held at Boston's Park Plaza and Towers Hotel on Friday April 8th at 12:00 PM, co-sponsored by The School for Field Studies, which is a host institution of the 2011 Forum Conference.

Ni.Do. Mozzarella Bar: Italian Done Easy on the Upper Eastside
Ni.Do Mozzarella Bar has cozy charm, and cheese. Lots and lots of freshly made cheese.
Lesley Elliott
Ni.Do. Mozzarella Bar opened quietly in MiMo last month -- no press release, no big party. It's just a quiet little café, buried in one of the area's gentrified strip malls, that happens to make its own mozzarella. It's a pretty space, offering a comfortable spot to rest for a few hours over freshly brewed espresso and torta del giorno. There are overstuffed couches for lounging and a long bar with rotating happy-hour specials on wines, beers, and prosecco-based cocktails daily from 4 to 8 p.m.
The sense of home is immediate, and a friendly Italian couple named Matteo and Giorgia will welcome you to linger. Giorgia was the owner of Gusto Vino & Caffè in South Beach, and partner Luca Taretto was the executive chef at Tiramesu. (He also worked in Milan for Claudio Cracco, which is a two-Michelin-star restaurant.) The menu is straightforward, Italian comfort style. Gnocchi alla Sorrentina ($13) has a light tomato sauce with fresh basil and globs of burata (and, yes, the cheese is made in-house). Layered eggplant parmigiana ($9.50), classic lasagna with bolognese sauce, and an herb-rubbed roasted half-chicken ($18) are all guileless replications of the original recipes.
There is also a small array of olive oils and pastas for sale, as well as salumi by the pound. The majority of offerings are made here -- including the pastas, breads, and desserts. "We have a laboratory that ships the original ingredients for us to make them and finish the product here," Giorgia says. We love Italian imports (pass the truffle oil, please).
Homemade bufala with marinated tomatoes and garlic ($11).
Lesley Elliott
Smoked salmon salad with green beans and toasted almonds ($12) is one of seven salads on the menu, including quinoa with black beans and calamari with farro.
Lesley Elliott
Ni.Do's carbonara is made with penne, a few eggs yokes and crisp pancetta ($10.50).
Lesley Elliott
The torta of the day depends on the mood of the chef, this was a mixed berry version ($7).

text: ARBIL, Iraq : Kurdish troops fought off a militant attack on an oil facility and a dam near the Iraqi city of Mosul but lost 14 of their number in intense combat, Kurdish sources said Saturday.The Islamic State (IS), which controls the northern city, 'attacked a peshmerga post in Zumar (Friday) and a fierce battle erupted,' an official in the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan told AFP. He said 14 peshmerga fighters were killed, a toll confirmed by a senior officer in the Kurdish force.The PUK official said the peshmerga killed 'around 100' IS fighters and captured 38 in a battle that lasted several hours. Zumar is a small Kurdish-majority outpost northwest of Mosul, which used to be under federal government control but was taken over by the peshmerga in June.IS fighters launched a blistering offensive on June 9 that saw them capture Mosul, Iraq's second city. and move into much of the country's Sunni heartland. Many government forces retreated in the face of the onslaught, and peshmerga troops seized the opportunity to fill the vacuum and seize long-coveted areas the Kurds were in dispute with Baghdad over.

What makes the Walter Carsen story so compelling is the sheer complexity of the man. He was best known as one of Canada's more beloved philanthropists. As a businessman, he could seal a multi million-dollar deal with a handshake. He was the epitome of Old World charm and continental sophistication, well-versed in politics, economics and the arts. The private man, however, was deeply conflicted. As daughter Johanni Carsen says: "My father's life was one of outer calm and inner drama."
Carsen was a serial philanthropist who tended to be loyal to one art form at a time. His funding corresponded to the specific needs of an organization. He subsidized the refurbishment of the Shaw Festival's Royal George Theatre and helped to build the Christopher's Loft rehearsal space. He gave the Art Gallery of Ontario the Walter Carsen Reading Room in its new reference library. He was the lead donor for the National Ballet of Canada's new home, the Walter Carsen Centre. The Dancer Transition Resource Centre was also very important to him because it helped former dancers find new careers. He also sponsored Canada's National Ballet School's artist-in-residence program. According to his son, while most philanthropists give away 5 per cent of their fortunes, Carsen gave away more than 75 per cent. "With my father, it wasn't the tip of the iceberg," says Robert Carsen. "It was the iceberg."
It was his affinity for the arts that became the cornerstone of his extraordinary philanthropy. The art galleries of Ontario, Hamilton, Windsor, St. Catharines and Oshawa, the Shaw Festival, Canadian Opera Company, and the National Ballet of Canada are among the many organizations that benefited from Carsen's largesse. In 2001, he donated $1.1-million to the Canada Council to establish the Walter Carsen Prize for Excellence in the Performing Arts that recognizes distinguished lifetime careers in dance, theatre and music. He also was a great humanitarian. Carsen was so upset reading about street people dying in the cold that he set up the Walter Carsen Fund for the Homeless within the United Way.
Carsen was born in 1912 into a family of assimilated Jews in Cologne, Germany. His father died when he was six, and he was adopted by his stepfather, a famous lawyer. Although Carsen would have preferred to study medicine, he trained in the law out of respect for his stepfather. In 1938, Carsen went to London to avoid Nazi persecution while his older brother, Kurt, went to Uruguay. His parents ultimately fled to the Netherlands, but were transported to Auschwitz where they died. "Walter's way of dealing with bad things was silence," his late wife Clementine once said in an interview. "I went along with his refusal to talk about the past because it was his protective shell."
In 1940, Carsen was arrested as an enemy alien even though he was a Jewish refugee. When Eric Koch was writing his 1980 book Deemed Suspect: A Wartime Blunder, about the mostly German Jews the British sent to prison camps in Canada, Carsen refused to be interviewed. His inability to come to terms with the Holocaust continued throughout his life. In fact, when asked about his background, he would describe himself as "European."
One way out of the camps was to help in the war effort and, in 1943, Carsen got a job in Toronto grinding optical lenses – while in Britain, he and a partner had opened a business that imported optical instruments.
He also met Clementine Nalm, his future wife and a fellow German Jewish refugee, in a local restaurant after a proms concert. Although both were on dates with other people, a smitten Carsen called her the very next day. The couple married on May 1, 1943.
"Walter always felt grateful for his new life in Canada," said Clementine Carsen, who died four years ago, "and, even though we were just married, he volunteered for the army and I completely supported him in this."Report Typo/Error

There's something to be said about the milk of life, which only a mom can give to a baby...
You can't just make it up.
Science has tried to duplicate it but it can't.
It's not some formula which is made with water and powder.
And, it's proven that babies which have this tasty nature-made-and-matched goodness are healthier, resistant to disease and more.
So don't hate these mommas who give this milk in public.
It's natural.
And milk... does a baby's body good.

The Barbizon School
Of the many groups of painters who found in landscape a rural paradise, it was the Barbizon School whose name became internationally synonymous with this nineteenth-century idyll of nature, man, and beast unpolluted by the grim facts of city life. Easily accessible to landscape painters whose careers were to be made within the context of the Paris art establishment of Salons, critics, and public and private patrons, the tiny village of Barbizon was located in the middle of the Forest of Fontainebleau, some thirty miles southeast of the capital. Beginning in the 1830s, it became the symbolic seat of those painters who, on long sojourns away from Paris, wished to immerse themselves in the commonplace, enduring truths of nature— tangles of weeds in marshes, the watering places of cattle, the reflections of the setting sun on thick foliage unpruned by man [….] The most prominent member of the Barbizon School, Pierre-Etienne-Théodore Rousseau (1812-1867), referred to the Fontainebleau Forest as Arcadia.

Financial Software Questions? Ask IT Support for Answers ASAP
Hi, I'm Robert and I'll be helping you with your financial software question.
there is a way to archive the data
You can go to file / file operations / year end copy
It will allow you to put in a date where you want everything prior to that to be in the archive and a date where you only want transactions after that date to remain in the current file. They do not have to be the same date.
In order for it to work you need to have every account fully reconciled. It wont archive non reconciled data. It also wont archive investment accounts.
Your other option is to create a new file using file / save a copy as
and in this new file just delete old records
you can do that quickly by just picking a date
click on that and hold the shift key down while hitting the up arrow until all the prior transactions are highlighted. Then right click and select delete

The manner of the loss suggests the world champions have little chance of defending their crown and leaves them with a big task to make the last eight.
"We're shell-shocked," said captain Corry. "Being honest, we went into this game thinking we could win and we'll have the same mindset next week."
England will need to beat Samoa to keep alive their hopes of escaping Pool A.
But England coach Brian Ashton admits his team have so far failed to make any progress at the World Cup.
"It's a case of standing still for us. It was a much greater challenge than USA, as we knew it would be," he said.
"I'm disappointed we didn't score - we certainly had a couple of chances.
"The game was effectively over by half-time and the half-time team-talk was to try to salvage some pride."
It was the first time since the 1998 Tour of Hell that England ended a Test without a point, and came hot on the heels of a turgid display against USA.
In the run-up to the match, Ashton said he had not seen such a determined spirit among his players since he replaced Andy Robinson as England head coach in December 2006.
But England's players were unable to show anything like the form required to defend their world title as South Africa, inspired by a superb performance from scrum-half Fourie du Preez, dominated almost every facet of the match.
England were 20-0 down at the break after tries from Juan Smith and JP Pietersen, and Ashton admitted his players had not done themselves any favours at all.
"It was disappointing in the first half that we couldn't translate our possession into field position which was one of our talking points during the week," said Ashton.
"We wanted to keep them in their 22 for a while so that things might start to happen for us. But we didn't do that - they played that part of the game much better than we did, I thought their kicking game was absolutely outstanding.
"Martin Corry had a real go at the guys which I thought was fully justified. And I thought some of the individual players showed up much better in the second half, there was a lot more - passion isn't the right word, but something like that."
England, who are likely to be without Jamie Noon and Jason Robinson after both left the field in Paris because of injury, will need to beat an extremely physical Samoa side on 22 September to even get out of the group stages.
And Ashton admitted that the prospect of taking on Michael Jones's side was far from straightforward.
"There's a lot of thinking to do," he said.
"On Monday morning we've got to start thinking about how to beat Samoa - that is a must-win game now. It's going to be a tough challenge for us, but we're going to have to do it."
South Africa coach Jake White said the match had sent out a message to the rest of the teams in the tournament.
"I was so nervous this week - there was a lot of talk in the English media that they had one big game in them and I was dreading it would be against us," he said.
"With all due respect, we probably didn't play to our best. But we did the simple things really well.
"Defence is a vital part of World Cups, so to not concede a try is very pleasing.
"At at the same time to score three tries and score 36 points against England sends out a statement that we are going to be real contenders for the World Cup."
Springboks captain John Smit also praised his side's defensive display in Paris.
"It was a big game for us - we were well organised and we're pretty happy," he said.
"It's been a long time coming. It was a good performance - but there's a lot more to come.
"The most satisfying thing is seeing the zero on the other side of the scoreboard. Before we have waned after the first-half but the talk in the dressing room was outstanding and we stuck to our task.
"Our preparation is chalk and cheese compared to 2003. It's been a long road and credit to the group but mostly to Jake, even though it has taken its toll on his hairline!"

Its present use is that of an astringent, tonic, and alterative, and also that of an expectorant.
The alterative medicine was to be given in tablespoonfuls—two tablespoonfuls to a dose.
As a natural consequence of the foregoing he regards "alterative action" as "habit-breaking action."
It has also some reputation as an alterative and resolvent, and as an anodyne.
A spoonful night and morning for a week or longer, as an alterative or purifier of the blood; in skin diseases, &c.
alterative and discutient; used to disperse indolent tumours and swellings, and as a resolvent in enlarged joints, &c.

It is occasionally employed as a medicine, and, like other preparations of gold, is of an alterative character.
Dose: As an alterative and to act on the liver and secretions, from two to five grains two or three times a day.
Nearly every alterative drug has had its period of popularity.

October saw the lowest monthly volume of real-estate sales in Aspen since December 2004 and sales this year through October are down 47 percent compared to 2007.
"It is slow," said Ryan Anslyn, a broker with Land + Shelter Real Estate and a director at the Aspen Board of Realtors. "People are just really skittish about doing anything, even people not necessarily affected by the stock market."
In October, all property transactions in Pitkin County added up to $86.5 million.
Sales in September were $100 million and sales in August were $160 million, which was the high water mark for the year.
The sales figures are collected and distributed by Land Title Guarantee Company of Aspen.
October may well mark the end of this decade's remarkable real-estate bull market in Aspen. Monthly sales took off in August 2003 and hit $102 million, the first time that year that monthly sales climbed over the $100 million mark. Since then, there have been only four months, if October is included, when monthly sales volume dropped below $100 million.
In fact, since August 2003 there have been 17 months when sales added up to over $200 million and there have been three months when sales were over $300 million.
Real estate transactions so far this year in Aspen through October add up to $1.2 billion.
Last year ended with $2.2 billion in sales, while 2006 saw $2.1 billion, 2005 saw $1.9 billion and 2004 saw $1.4 billion.
Back in 2003, annual real-estate sales amounted to $897 million.
The number of transactions this year, at 714, is down 37 percent against 2007, when there were 1,140 units sold.
The real-estate sales figures do not include about $450 million worth of fractional units put under contract in Aspen and Snowmass over the past several years, as those sales will not be finalized until the projects are completed.
Craig Scott, a broker with Mason and Morse, and also a director at the Aspen Board of Realtors, estimates that the Viceroy project in Snowmass Village has $113 million worth of fractional units under contract.
In Aspen, the Dancing Bear has $66 million under contract, the Limelight has $92 million and the Residences at Little Nell may have as much as $180 million under contract, according to Scott's estimates.
Those transactions are not expected to close until later this year or next spring, depending on when the projects are finished and ready for owners to use.
And given the credit crunch, there are questions about whether some buyers will be able to close on those deals, which were likely entered into before the current financial turmoil started in August.
According to Land Title Guarantee Co., there have been $42 million worth of final "interval sales" through October. Last year, there were $76 million in interval sales. And in 2006, there were $161 million in interval sales.
Real-estate brokers tend to be optimistic and Craig Scott is able to see the upside in the market slowdown.
"The current market presents one of the best buying opportunities that we've seen since 9/11," he said. "If you have cash, and you've missed out in the past, call your favorite Realtor."
The figures from Land Title Guarantee Co. actually show a 15 percent increase in the median price of a single family home in Aspen this year compared to last year, rising from $3.6 million to $4.1 million.
However, both Scott and Anslyn said the figures were being skewed by a relatively low level of activity but a few big sales, including a home in Snowmass Village that sold for $36.4 million.
Scott said that some prices in Aspen are indeed falling.
He pointed to a 5,326-square-foot home on Silverlode Drive on the lower flank of Smuggler Mountain that went under contract Thursday. It was originally listed for $7.9 million in February and reduced in price to $7.5 million in August. By October, the house was down to $6.5 million and then the price dropped on Nov. 11 to $5.8 million, which it then sold for this week.
"This person wanted to sell, and it was priced correctly, and therefore there was a buyer," Scott said.
On the other hand, Anslyn at Land + Shelter has seen a lot of listings that did not sell taken off the market recently, presumably until market conditions improve.
"It is definitely quieter now," said Anslyn, who is slated to become the president of the 720-member Aspen Board of Realtors in 2010. "But I think it is going to be busy again next spring or summer, after we have a great season with heaps of snow and a new (presidential) administration has settled in. Our market long-term is fantastic."

|This is Bunny.
|My baby son and Bunny (awkwardly) napping in 2010
So now I have to ask...where's the loyalty, kid? Days later I'm still frantically searching the house and you've just moved on. This morning I was still searching, desperately checking inane locations in the house, like the top cabinet full of cleaners (why would Bunny be there?). I took a moment and realized how crazy I was acting. My son is okay without Bunny, so why am I still looking? I was standing on a chair in the kitchen searching behind the bottle of bleach for a plush toy and I realized that I wasn't really looking for Bunny...I was looking for my baby boy. And all I saw in front of me is an almost-three-year-old who can wash his own hands and get his own cup of water and, oh dear Maude, he doesn't need Bunny anymore and soon he won't need me either.
This motherhood thing really gouges me sometimes. I have bent over backwards the last three years teaching him to stand alone, walk, run, feed himself, make his own choices. And now I feel sad and lonely for my baby who used to need help with things. He used to need me. Siiiiiigh. I have to go find my loveys now.

Vivian, from Riccarton...
The Ultimate Chocolate Brownie ... With Raspberries (If You're Feeling Extra Flashy)
There are endless chocolate brownie recipes around, and I'm sure heaps of them are great, but whenever I read in the instructions: "melt chocolate over a simmering heat" or something similar, all I can envisage is the stress and mess of the choc-melting process that so often ends up burnt or all over the stove = WASTE.
The beauty of this recipe is that there is no melty-choccy going on, yet the final product is still dense, moist, and super chocolatey goodness that melts in your mouth with every bite. The perfect combination of a little chewy crust on the outside with a delectably soft and rich texture on the inside.
The addition of raspberries make it the ultimate treat - I'm often too poor to include them, but if you've got them, it makes the world of difference.
I have won over many hearts, solved many conflicts, and sucked up to many important people with this, and often kept a well hidden secret.... So here it is! And now we can all share the love.
- 320g butter, melted
- 1 1/4 cups cocoa
- 7 eggs
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 1 1/2 - 2 cups chocolate chips/drops (dark is best)
- 1 1/4 cups plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Frozen/fresh raspberries (optional)
- Icing sugar (optional)
- Preheat oven to 160C.
- Line a large baking tin/roasting dish (I use a 24x34cm rectangle dish)
- Melt the butter in a large bowl (there's lots of ingredients to fit in here) in the microwave, or in a large saucepan on the stove.
- Using an electric mixer, beat cocoa into melted butter.
- Add eggs, sugar, and vanilla, and whiz with electric mixer for 3-4 mins until the mixture begins to whip up in volume (about double).
- Using a wooden spoon/rubber spatula, mix in the chocolate chips/drops.
- Sift flour and baking powder in; stir until fully combined.
- Pour into lined baking tin; give it a gentle shake to even out the mixture.
- If using raspberries, dot these evenly on top of the mixture, gently pushing them just under the surface.
- Bake in oven at 160C for about 1 hour, until an inserted skewer comes clean.
- Leave to cool in tin for about 10 mins, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool further.
- If you want to make them look extra fancy, sift icing sugar over the top.
- Enjoy warm, cold, with some whipped cream, with some hot coffee, or even with a sneaky wine!

I want the secret squirrel visit. They sound yummy. GO VIV!!!
Sarah, imma let you finish, but I just wanna say that Simon makes one of the best brownies of all time.
sending a batch to welly might earn you a lot more votes
Viv, these are amazing!I too have been looking for a recipe where you don't have to melt chocolate....and THANKYOU!! Step this morning meant i could treat myself hehe. Made them for a group of friends and they love them!!So i got you 10 votes hehe!Hope you win!
Thanks guys! They ARE amazing. Keep spreading the word to spread the love (via chocolatey-brownie-goodness)
yum yum YUM so so good
A bit salty
Fantastic, the kids loved them!!!!
cant wait
this recipe looks fantastic. cant wait to try it this weekend
As a member of C.A (Chocoholics Anonymous) I would have to say that many people will be off the wagon once they get their first fix of this brownie, they'll be addicted for life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rather than being a one-day wonder, it just kept getting better and better each day...so easy, and so much of it! we'll be making this again and again!
Best brownies EVER! they made my life so much sweeter!
Thanks for all the SUPER supportive comments guys, it's so awesome hearing so many stories via this website and via word of mouth about how much everyone is enjoying making/sharing/eating/devouring the goodness that it is!
hey viv thanks for the AMAZING brownies last wk at step. I never new what they were for until you explained in today's class so now i've got everyone i know to vote for you:) goodluck!
Does it matter on the size of the egg? We get size 8 which are pretty big...
Chef Paul Jobin
Hey Vivian, My turn to try my hand to your chocolate brownies sitting here in 3rd place. I want to make the flashy version and I will have my chef training students next week cast there sweet tooth over them. Stay tuned later in the week for my report back. I will probably place in dutch cocoa to make them even more addictive! PJ
Angeline: I use the regular size 6 eggs... and I'm no chef (maybe Chef Paul can give you advice?) but size 8 are a quite a lot bigger, so you could try 6x of them? .. I just tried googling it for you, but to no success for an answer!
Chef Paul: Ooooh exciting! I've had rave reviews from your everyday NZer in person (and on here), but a chef's P.O.V might be alot different, so hope it goes well!! The flashy version incl. the good quality cocoa sounds soooo fabulous... my lack of funds haven't let me get that far yet, but maybe some prize money (fingers crossed) can go towards upgrading the pantry's ingredients!
Awesome, hear from you soon :)
Wow. Just right with my cup of coffee
Amazing and especially with raspberries!! Thanks heaps for sharing your fab recipe. Good luck.
Vivian!! Thinking of DHL the brownies for me & lynda? Andrew also wants to have some.. :P
These are delicious! especially after the gym :)
I have tried many times to make brownies and they always turn out wrong. I used your recipe and the brownies are AWESOME. I'm so excited that I can finally bake Brownies. Good luck and c u at Jellie Park.
In what must be nearing the 100th time I've baked these brownies, I've realised the difference it makes using eggs at room temperature vs. refrigerated. If you're keen for a denser, fudgier texture, keep the eggs you're going to use at room temp!
I've probably done this in the past unknowingly, and just thought, "ooh good batch today"... but the last few weeks of baking have made me come to this conclusion!
Enjoy guys! (and thanks for all your supportive comments again, its so great to hear the success these are having around NZ and the world!)
i'm baking these brownies today!!!!!
I love that they keep for ages!
YUUUMMMMMMMMM !!!!! just tried them, they really are great, one piece just isn't enough. well done and good luck.
Making them tonight. Can't wait
OMG, so good lol. ROFL, like OMG i cant stop eating them lol hehe. tb
Just tried half the receipe and its "fast to bake and good to eat" Tks!
These are fantastic.....
Vivian, Dutch cocoa can be bought at "The Asian Warehouse" (next to Briscoes in town), it's $8.99 for a 1 kg bag - there it is labelled "Cocoa Powder Alkalised", but it's exactly the same thing. So it's not that expensive if you know where to look...
Just made the brownies with raspberries.... makes it soooo delicious!
go viv go!
Come on - you can take it out!
You've left me with an addiction to these brownies! So good! Thank you!
Thanks so much Pauline! I shall definitely scope that place out, and make the substitution for my next few batches of brownies!
Hope you guys are all enjoying it, and thank you for your support... brownie love!
Having been a brownie conosieur for nearly 2039 years, i have to say that these put my mothers to shame. The addition of the under utilized super berry that is the raspberry, caught my eye, and I must say. God these are good. Blasphemy is not encouraged. But Vivian I believe it is? You my child were conceived for a reason. A reason beyond bus shelter advertisment. The reason...Brownie love. Spread the word. And on the 7th day he ate a batch of Viv's Brownies....
This is truly "THE ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE BROWNIE" !! It's SO GOOD !! Thanks Viv.
hey your cake sounds really good and will definitely try the recipe. i am been noticing your rapid increase in votes in the last few days as you are closing the gap with the first place cake . Hope its fair game between the top three contestant . Good luck to all three of you.
This recipe is so so yummy. I have had it made for me 3 times now by Viv and every time it seems more delicious if thats possible
Thanks so much for a new recipe to try! I love making chocolate fudge brownie as I think it's so forgiving, you can do 20 different other things while making them and they always turn out edible. I tried your recipe and it worked, and tasted really really good!!! Another thing I was happy about was the amount it made, HEAPS!! I cut it in the tin and then piped melted 70% Cocoa chocolate in swirls over it. Everyone thought it I had purchased it from a cafe on my way to this morning tea. They loved it too!
I read somewhere that if you want to increase the chocolate flavour in your brownie, you can add an extra 1/4 teaspoon of pure vanilla essence. I know you can use Dutch Cocoa and 70+ % chocolate to increase the chocolate flavour but the vanilla essence tip is a $$ saving one, you can still use cheap chocolate and it works!
That's gold Lizzie! I will def have to try it. And you're right, theres so many variations you can add to it, i.e. one Easter we had no choc drops in the house, so I used chopped up Caramello Creme Eggs... yum! Swirling stuff like peanut butter before cooking has sounded ideal too!
Hi Viv, I currently have these yummy sounding brownies in my oven cooking!! Can't wait to see what they taste like when they are finished :) Will post on here how they go!
Made these brownies and they are AMAZING!!!!! Got them out of the oven this afternoon and have just put on the icing sugar and eating a couple YUM YUM YUM is all I have to say!
Awesome to hear Tracie! How yum are they when they are warm out of the oven?!
Wow! These were absolutely divine! Loads of gorgeous textures throughout, chewy at the bottom, squidgy in the middle and crumbly on top! great!!
Absolutely gourgeous. The recipe looks easy and the list of ingredients will always taste good!
Absolutely delicious, especially with raspberries. I've tried many other recipes but these are tops.They are very well named.I have to hide them from Colin! Popular with all ages from our young grandchildren to my 88 year old mother.
stocky's cute. And these brownies are delicious!
If you need Raspberries, i know a really good farm...
Beautiful recipe
Love it, melt in your mouth
Keen for some well-priced raspberries in Chch anytime! I trust it will get better towards summer... can't wait!
I made these for the first time this week and have to say that it is an outstanding recipe. It is incredibly easy, I would even say foolproof, and also delicious, exactly the consistency a brownie should be.

The Pembrokeshire COAST project celebrated the end of an era at a special event earlier this month.
Staff, service providers and participants marked the end of the five year project at the Withybush Pavillion in Haverfordwest on June 6.
Participants who achieved significant changes to their lives were awarded special recognition, and Craig Jenkins of Dinas Cross was nominated by the COAST central referral team.
Launched in November 2009, the project, part funded by the European Social Fund through the Welsh Government, has supported over 1,000 Pembrokeshire residents with a disability or work-limiting health condition, to improve their employability.
By the end of May this year, more than 150 project participants had entered paid work with 90 entering work over 16 hours and coming off benefits.
As well as supporting people to find work, the project has also helped 520 people complete over 1,500 accredited qualifications.
With the project's funding coming to end in December, this year's celebration looked back at the project's achievements over five years.
Project Manager, Karen Davies said: "The remarkable achievements of our participants puts life into perspective," she said.
"These results couldn't have been achieved without the dedication of the COAST team most of whom have been with me since the launch in 2009 as well as the service providers who have supported us."

Washington DC (SPX) May 16, 2013
Warmer spring temperatures since 1980 are causing an estimated 20 percent loss of snow cover across the Rocky Mountains of western North America, according to a new study.
The research builds upon a previous snowpack investigation by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) that showed that, until the 1980s, the northern Rocky Mountains experienced large snowpacks when the central and southern Rockies experienced meager ones, and vice versa. Yet, since the 1980s, there have been simultaneous snowpack declines along the entire length of the Rocky Mountains, and unusually severe declines in the north, the earlier investigation showed.
Now, the new study, also by USGS scientists, has teased apart and quantified the different influences of winter temperature, spring temperature, and precipitation on historic snowpack variations and trends in the region. To distinguish those varying influences, the researchers implemented a regional snow model that uses inputs of monthly temperature and precipitation data from 1895 to 2011.
"Each year we looked at temperature and precipitation variations and the amount of water contained within the snowpack as of April," said Greg Pederson of the USGS Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center in Bozeman, Mont., who is the lead author of the study.
"Snow deficits were consistent throughout the Rockies due to the lack of precipitation during the cool seasons during the 1930s - coinciding with the Dust Bowl era. From 1980 on, warmer spring temperatures melted snowpack throughout the Rockies early, regardless of winter precipitation. The model in turn shows temperature as the major driving factor in snowpack declines over the past thirty years."
Pederson and his colleagues present their new findings in an article in Geophysical Research Letters, a journal of the American Geophysical Union.
Runoff from Rocky Mountain winter snowpack accounts for 60 to 80 percent of the annual water supply for more than 70 million people living in the western U.S., and is influenced by the snowpack's water content, known as snow water equivalent, and the timing of snowmelt.
The timing of snowmelt affects not only when water is available for crop irrigation and energy production from hydroelectric dams, but also the risk of regional floods and wildfires. Earlier and faster snowmelt could have repercussions for water supply, risk management, and ecosystem health in western watersheds.
Regional snowpack accumulation is highly sensitive to variations in both temperature and precipitation over time. Patterns and sources of these variations are difficult to discern due to complex mountain topography, the different influence of Pacific Ocean climate, like La Nina and El Nino, on winter precipitation in the northern versus southern and central Rockies, and the brevity and patchiness of detailed snow records.
In the new study, the regional snow model used by Pederson and his USGS colleagues Julio Betancourt, and Greg McCabe allows estimation of snow water and cover variability at different latitudes and elevations during the last century regardless of the absence of direct and long-term observations everywhere.
Recent snowpack variations also were evaluated in the context of snowpack evidence from tree-rings, allowing the scientists to compare recent observations to measurements from the past 800 years.
McCabe explains that "recent springtime warming also reduced the extent of snow cover at low to middle elevations where temperature has had the greatest impact."
"Both natural variability in temperature and anthropogenic warming have contributed to the recent snowpack decline, though disentangling their influences exactly remains elusive," Betancourt said.
"Regardless of the ultimate causes, continuation of present snowpack trends in the Rocky Mountains will pose difficult challenges for watershed management and conventional water planning in the American West."

Avakian changes jobs, Greenlick decides to continue
Our former State Senator, Brad Avakian, says, "In March, my good friend Dan Gardner announced that he will step down as Oregon's Labor Commissioner. His resignation leaves our state with an immense void—one that Governor Kulongoski has asked me to fill. I will accept this appointment and withdraw from the race to be Oregon's next Secretary of State. As Labor Commissioner, I will be able to take the fight for working families to the next level by focusing on apprenticeship training and workforce development. This will allow me to support industry's efforts to create more high-paying local jobs. As one campaign ends, another begins. This November, I will be seeking reelection to this important statewide office."
As Mitch Greenlick begins his campaign for the November 2008 election (with no Republican opponent) he notes, "I am pleased to announce that I will seek re-election to the House of Representatives in the 2010 election. I hope my friends and colleagues will support me as I continue to work on critical items left on my legislative agenda—ensuring access to health care in Oregon, reforming the health care delivery system, improving the region's transportation network, and moving toward the development of a world-class research university in the Portland Metropolitan area."
"Consequently, I am not seeking an appointment to the Senate seat that will be vacated by Brad Avakian as he becomes Oregon's Labor Commissioner. I am supporting Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (Cedar Hills) as she seeks the seat."

How to deal with a daredevil child
Every family either has one, or knows a family with one – the daredevil child. The child who has little or no inhibition, is perpetually nursing a broken or bleeding bodypart, who goes full-tilt at pretty much anything, and is kind of … well, wild.
I'll never forget Joel Davison. He was the prime example of such a child when I was growing up.
Joel was the son of my parents' friends, Mark and Roxanne. Joel once rode his bike off the balcony of his family home. It was a pole home. He rode off the steep side. The drop was about four metres (which is about 13 feet). He broke an arm doing that. Joel used to find things to jump off, crash into, destroy. That was just how he rolled (or bounced, or landed … take your pick).
With five children, the odds were always with us getting at least one such child. For Kylie and I, it's daughter number three: Ella.
|Ella being … Ella. Source – our family collection
Many months ago we had a neighbour tell us Ella had taken her bike around the corner to a busy road and she was riding along the white line. She hadn't asked, but we smiled at the thought of her riding safely along the big white line next to the gutter, keeping out of harms way.
Then the neighbour corrected us. Ella was riding along the white line in the middle of the road (we ran – fast – to get her out of the way.) Following that experience we have had many, many, induction sessions as Ella has learned the rules of the road.
Yesterday we had another one of those moments where we thought her inability to foresee the consequences of her exciting ideas may have been frighteningly tragic.
Ella was on her bike. She knows how to ride, and she's reasonably competent. After the various training experiences we've had, we know that Ella has a good knowledge of the road rules and she has demonstrated that she 'gets it' – or so we thought.
Our older kids had gone around the corner (about 100m) to the park. Ella was with them, and she chose to take her bike. Five minutes after the children had left for the park there was a knock at our door. A man we didn't know was out of breath and quite angry. He had just witnessed Ella get a little excited about getting to the park quickly, and she had ridden straight across a road (albeit a typically quiet road) into the path of an oncoming car. The car had stopped in time – just. Ella had her hand on the bonnet of the car by the time the driver brought it to a halt.
I'm not sure how he knew Ella lived here. It seems lots of people know where Ella lives though. And I'm not sure how he wanted me to react. I got a strong impression he wanted me to yell, run, shout, and drag her home.
I thanked him quietly and assured him I recognised the seriousness of what had happened. Then I went to the park to find Ella and her sisters playing, with Ella oblivious to the blessing of safety she was enjoying. I asked her to come home so we could have a conversation about some important things.
But here's the thing:
Some kids just don't get the message. It simply doesn't sink in.
We can teach them the dangers, we can get them to identify the rules and the right way to look after themselves, we can do all the right stuff… sometimes some kids are simply too excitable, adventurous, and maybe a little crazy for their own good. They forget what they should do in that moment of excitement.
What did we do?
- We spent a lot more time on induction, or explicit teaching. Yes, we've done it before. And yes, we'll do it again. Sometimes these things take time. Being patient is key.Ella didn't respond well to this initially. She felt as though she was in trouble. Big trouble. But she wasn't. It took a lot of time, a lot of understanding, and a pretty long night, but eventually she got that we were simply concerned for her.
- We emphasised the importance of Ella answering our questions rather than us telling her the rules. This is an important part of her internalising the ideas. Plus, she has to concentrate more on what's being said if she's the one saying it.
- We made a conscious effort to allow Ella to develop strategies that would still allow her to ride her bike, but in a manner that we feel good about. This is because if we try to stop the behaviour we'll create resentment, we'll develop a rebellious little girl, or we'll push the behaviour underground.As an example of how you might do this, if your child is riding dangerously on the road you might help them describe some safe places for riding where there are no cars. If your child is building a jump for his/her skateboard you might spend time making sure the jump is stable (and at the same time you can ensure the height is reasonable and there's somewhere safe to land).Whatever the daredevil propensity, there will likely be ways that we can work with our children to improve the safety they experience. That way we'll feel better about what they're trying to do but they'll still get what they want.
- We recognised that Ella is really into riding her bike. In fact, being adventurous, active, and uninhibited is part of her DNA! We don't want to destroy that enthusiasm. But we do want to channel it so she's safe. So we brainstormed additional ways that we might help her enjoy her 'daredevil' outputs in safe ways. We've planned visits to the local indoor rock-climbing centre, some bushwalking (not too close to cliffs), and so on.
- We also did this because we know that Ella is not only excitable, but often has excess energy! She's one of those ones with all that get-up-and-go. Like most daredevil kids, she loves to do exciting things but she's not out there trying to be dangerous. She just wants to do stuff that's 'fun'. She doesn't like boredom.
- Oh … and we checked our medical insurance to make sure our cover is good to go!
What daredevil things do your kids do? And how have you dealt with the fear of their getting hurt coupled with your desire to let them express their individuality and burn off their excess energy?
