Everest #7
Everesting Daniel Solander Drive
I've never experienced a good overnight stint. They've always been cold, wet or windy & all have been in poorly lit areas. We certainly had some luck as overnight was perfect weather. There was no wind, & it was warm enough just to ride in shorts & t-shirt. The climb itself was well lit, and there was an amazing view of the brightly lit streets below.
I am not used to being awake after 11 pm & I usually struggle to stay awake. I made sure I had a coffee before I started and had several NoDoz throughout the night. Which helped to keep me awake. We set a brisk pace and were smashing out the laps. As the morning went on Stryder mentioned that he had a a sore neck but was still setting a good tempo. The night section was monotonous, and I always see it as one of the hardest parts of an Everest.
When we took our second break at 2,200 vertical we had been doing incredible time. Stryder mentioned that the glands in his neck were a little sore. He got off the bike and we could tell something was wrong. Stryder was holding his neck and looked in shock, and said that he was in major pain and had to pull the pin.
He then copped a massive migraine and almost blacked out on us.
Stryder battled Bronchitos to get in shape for this ride. Doing everything he could to get in shape to be able to do this. His health is more important than a bike ride & it was sad to see him go. But it was a testimony to how much of a bad ass he is giving a ride like this a go, not being 100%.
We continued on & around 5:00 am the first of the riders showed up for the morning. From here we were never alone. I was finding the laps easy. My legs were feeling quite light and I felt this was going to be one of those special days. By then next lap I was flying, but was feeling a bit unsettled in the stomach. The downside to this Everest was the lack of toilets and had to hold off going for a couple of hours. When I finally had a chance to drive 1 km down to the Endeavour Hills Shopping centre I lost my guts. I felt a heap better and was able to get some more food in my system. What I didn't know was that this was going to be some of the last food I was to eat for the remainder of the ride.
We were flying towards the half way point, and the first 10 laps I was flying, then riding, then grinding.
The day was heating up and I was pouring with sweat.
Eagerly awaiting the next rest stop and got there and collapsed. More & more riders showed up. This was the biggest crew I've ever seen show up to an Everest (except the Mount Donna Buang which was more of an event). The day was warming up & it was nice to get to the 5,000 mark. My legs were still feeling good, I ate an apple but from here I practically stopped eating. My stomach couldn't stomach anything. I could drink and kept the fluids up. But found that I was slowly draining and had to push to get up the steep gradients of Daniel Solander Drive.
The afternoon became quite entertaining as more and more Hells 500 crew showed up. Between the two of us. We had quite a few friends come along and it was great to catch up with old friends and to meet new ones. Everests are great in that sense. Its an easy ride for those that come along. Its more of a social ride than serious training. One of our guests brought along Magnums. I'm glad I had one as it was the only thing I ate from here on. The laps flowed in, and I knew it was in the bag. On my last Everest I bonked really badly at 8,000 vertical.
I was apprehensive about this happening again and was trying to ride smart to avoid this happening again.
Everyone seemed to be having fun and this really made me feel good. I was still coherent and talked throughout the ride, but know I was probably out of it. With three laps to go I pulled up for a rest and started dry reaching. I had nothing in my stomach and went across the road to try & compose myself. I was wrecked & desperately needed a rest. An Everest wasn't about being soft & just got back out on the bike. Earlier on I had high hopes of doing 10,000 but now I was completely wrecked.
The only sleep I managed yesterday was two broken 20 minute cat naps in my car and I had been awake for 36 hours at that stage.
I had barely eaten anything over the last six hours and guess my body was telling me something. I could finish the ride. This was probably going to be my last Everest and I was majorly happy that I could do it. Shane still had 5 laps to go & I really wanted to get out on the bike, but as soon as I stopped I was done.
Today I woke up & wished so much that I had found the energy to roll the last lap with Shane, but am at least thankful that I was there to see this amazing feat that he did.
Here are are Shane's thoughts:
"I was thinking for awhile that I wasn't going to do it. 1,500 metres into the climb I thought I was in a bit of trouble. I moved on & we plucked away at it and then 2,000 became 3,000. It was pretty amazing to do. I've been gearing for this for a year now. When the opportunity knocked I had to take it. I had to do it".
I am now on 7 Everests. Only four other riders in the world have achieved this. What is it about an Everest that has driven me so much?
I like the fact that you can get so close to the end and still fail. There is no certainty that you will succeed, and because you can fail you succeed.
I like how its as much a mental struggle as it is a physical one.
Today wasn't all about the Everest. It was about introducing this crazy sport to Shane and working with him to help each other get over the line.
Today was about introducing a whole bunch of riders to a whole new area. To a place that I call home.
Today I had fun
Everesting Daniel Solander Drive preview
"If you are going through hell, keep going."
– Winston Churchill
The question has been asked by a number of people. Why when every Everest I've done has hurt me so much. Whether it was due to freezing cold weather, heavy winds, rain, illness, injury, mechanical issues, fatigue.
Why would I want to put myself through that once again?
With a baby on the way less than a month away I can't travel far from home. A thought was borne that if I was only a few km away from home. It wouldn't matter how long I was out for and could hypothetically just go up & down the same hill a lot of times.
I had a winter from hell. 10 weeks of sickness and then I strained my Achilles which kept me off the bike much of July & the start of August. From the start of my rehab I gave away all hopes of doing major epic rides. I only had 2 & a half months left & I spent a considerable period of time on rehab. I've enjoyed one of my best recoveries. Knocking out two 250 km rides & one 300 km ride. Somehow I got myself in shape to do an Everest. What better way to finish off but with my 7th & possibly final Everest.
The Cast
Shane Harold has committed to attempting his first Everest. The climb was a fair bit steeper than he had originally planned. But thankfully went down & rolled a few laps and joined the party.
Stryder I've logged over 35,000 vertical metres on Everests with. We've Everested Colby Drive & David Hill Road together. And sherpered for each other a number of times. This may be my last and I'm grateful that Stryder wouldn't let a small thing like Bronchitos hold him back from coming down. He had this in his system for well over two weeks. There were doubts that he would be 100% for a ride like this. He's like me. He really thrives on the ability to pull something special out & committed at the last minute.
The Climb
Daniel Solander Drive in Endeavour Hills ticks the box for an Everest in many ways. It has a car lane as well as a bike lane. You are completely separated from the drivers. The descent is fast and furious & you can hit speeds of 60 km/h without accelerating. The climb is quite steep peaking at 12%. This was resurfaced recently and is a beautiful surface to climb and has a fairly consistent gradient. It is quite a good climb for the average gradient.
The negatives are there are the toilets are 1.5 km away. There's no shade & there's traffic furniture right at the base of the climb & is technical to negotiate.
The Plan
I would finish work at lunch time on Friday. Go & pick up my bike from the shop & try and get a few hours sleep. Then meet up with the boys at midnight on Danny Boy……..
"If one should ask me what "use" there was in climbing, or attempting to climb the world's highest peak, I would be compelled to answer "none." There is no scientific end to be served; simply the gratification of the impulse of achievement, the indomitable desire to see what lies beyond the heart of man."
― George Mallory Climbing Everest: The Complete Writings of George Mallory
To Everest or not to Everest ………
"What is love? Love is playing every game as if it's your last!"
― Michael Jordan
Time is drawing close to the birth of my baby son. I have done so many amazing rides in the past, but am being honest about the future. I work six days a week. My day off will soon be spent babysitting so that my wife can work. Every era has to come to a close & this is the end of mine. No more epics.
This may be my last dance.
When I entered into cycling I could not have imagined that I could have done even a fraction of the things I've managed to do. I had many failures along the way. These have been part of my history and sweetened the times that I succeeded more.
My Everests have defined me, and will be what I finish up on. Given I had a strained Achilles at the start of August.
I didn't think it possible that I could get into shape for a ride like this so quickly.
With the birth of my son imminent, I cannot travel too far from home. We have chosen a local backstreet climb by the name of Daniel Solander Drive, which is 500 metres at 9%. We'd be looking at upwards of 200 repeats of this climb which is quite brutal as its a fairly straight climb that looks incredibly steep. The climb offers other challenges. No shade, no toilets and may encounter some traffic. What it does offer is protection for riders. There's a designated car lane & next to it is a bike lane. You feel comfortable riding either of these lanes free from cars.
I've managed to get Shane Harold to go for his first Everest. It will be more special seeing him nail that than to finish off my final Everest. I know that many years down the track I could try again. But I honestly don't know if I really want to go through all the hard work and pain that is involved in getting to this level of fitness.
One last dance!
Midnight on Friday 16th October 2015 it will begin. Failure is always a possibility, but then again so is success. I've had good preparation leading up to this day with 3 rides in excess of 250 km. With a number of other challenging rides. All 8 Everest attempts I have tried have all been extreme and I am expecting nothing less. I've put an open invite out as I know the more riders are riding alongside me the higher chance I have for success.
To be continued…….

The goal was to beat East Carolina today, the mission was to stop its explosive senior fullback Leonard Henry. Army did neither.
Henry, who came into the game ninth in the nation in rushing, was too quick and too strong for the undersized Army defense. Topping 100 yards for the fifth straight game, Henry ran for 156 yards and 3 touchdowns on 13 carries, leading the Pirates to a 49-26 victory at Michie Stadium.
Henry's final carry, a 29-yard fourth-quarter touchdown run, gave East Carolina (3-3, 2-0 Conference USA) an insurmountable lead, 35-20.
''He's a great player,'' Army Coach Todd Berry said. ''He's averaging 9 yards a carry. That's ridiculous. He only had 13 carries? They're not giving him the ball enough. He's an N.F.L. player.''
Henry, who declined to talk to reporters, was also pivotal in East Carolina's 42-21 victory over Army a year ago. But Army (1-4, 1-3) was confident that it had bridged the gap between the teams since then, pointing to a 28-14 victory over Houston last week and the fact that East Carolina had lost two straight.Continue reading the main story
''We're growing up,'' Berry said. ''We're going to be a good football team.''
That may be, but Army must first avoid making so many critical mistakes.
Ahead by 7-0 late in the first quarter, Army turned over the ball on a fumble by Josh Holden. East Carolina's Travis Heath ran it back 81 yards for a touchdown, one of East Carolina's two defensive touchdowns on the afternoon.
Berry took the blame for another big mistake. Army had taken a 14-10 lead when East Carolina's Marvin Townes returned the kickoff 93 yards for a score. Berry said he should never have had the ball kicked downfield because the Pirates were second in the nation in kickoff return yardage.
''The difference in today's game was simply the surprise touchdowns,'' East Carolina Coach Steve Logan said. ''We had two defensive touchdowns and a 93-yard kickoff return. Any time you can get 21 points in a game off those kind of plays, it's special.''
Still, there were some positive signs for Army. The Black Knights were resilient, continually scratching their way back into the game after East Carolina threatened to put it away. East Carolina did not pull away until midway through the fourth quarter, when Henry had his final touchdown run and, less than a minute later, John Williamson intercepted a pass and returned it 29 yards for a touchdown.
''We've just got to keep plugging,'' said Army wide receiver Brian Bruenton, who caught 5 passes for 106 yards. ''This game was a microcosm of our season. Things didn't necessarily go our way, but we kept plugging and persevering. That's what we have to do the rest of the season.''
Another positive sign was the play of Army quarterback Chad Jenkins, who was 21 for 38 for 289 yards, career highs for completions and passing yards.Continue reading the main story

Berks Catholic has a winning combination

Reading Eagle: Ben Hasty
Four reasons why Berks Catholic could be an unstoppable force on the court this season are, from left, Chris Warren, Donovon Jack, Marquis Marshall and Mike Miller.
Ben Hasty on Facebook
Mike Drago on Twitter
Holy Name was no match for Central Catholic on the court last season, but that didn't prevent the Blue Jays from clinging to the Cardinals like pit bulls and mixing it up as if there was a championship on the line.
Marquis Marshall remembers one rough exchange with Nick Lentz, a play that lingered in his mind into the summer when the two sides came together to start building what will be Berks Catholic's first boys basketball squad.
Marshall, who played at Central, said he was "iffy" about the prospects of the two intense rivals coming together as one.
That feeling lasted about as long as a jump ball.
"That was the first kid I made friends with," Marshall said of Lentz, who played at Holy Name. "Right away, it just clicked. It showed how much our schools were alike and how much the kids on the team were alike.
"Once we all got the same uniform on, it was about winning."
That's what the Saints will be about this season: winning.
They have become the Berks scholastic hoops equivalent of the "Dream Team," a combination of talent, size and tradition that, at least locally, should prove unbeatable.
With the season to start in five days, no other Berks team appears to be in the same league with the Saints, who will feature a front line that goes 6-4, 6-5 and 6-9 - the last being Donovon Jack, the All-State center and Duquesne recruit.
As if that's not enough, head coach Snip Esterly, who won 542 games in 22 seasons at Central, will have one of the best 3-point and free throw shooters in the county, Mike Miller, in his backcourt, and guys who go 6-8 and 6-5 to pull off the bench - the latter being the "little" brother, freshman Connor Jack.
Esterly regularly coached championship teams at Central, but he's never had a team quite like this. Certainly never one as big or deep.
"Practices are very, very competitive," Esterly said. "We've got some players. There's no weakness on our floor when we scrimmage.
"Each night you've got to make sure you work hard or your spot is gonna be taken. That's kind of nice (for a coach)."
It should prove to be nice for the players, though points and minutes will be harder to come by.
The wins shouldn't be.
Not with Donovon Jack, a two-time All-State pick, in the middle of things. He averaged 16.2 points, 9.8 rebounds and five blocked shots per game in leading the Cardinals to a 27-4 record and the District 3-A championship a year ago.
And after a big summer on the AAU circuit, he's stronger and better than ever, his coach said.
"He's playing with so much confidence," Esterly said. "He's a much better player than last year. He's made a big, big step (up)."
Playing with Jack will simply make everyone around him better.
"I've never played with a guy like that before in my life," said Miller, who averaged 11.1 points and knocked down 36 treys as a sophomore at Holy Name, where he was always the focus for opposing defenses.
Miller won't see that kind of attention this season.
"I'm looking forward to that," he said. "It's D.J.'s team, so I've just got to complement him the best I can and just hit open shots when I have them and feed him the ball."
The presence of Lentz, a 6-5 senior forward who hits the boards and plays defense, will help protect Jack and free up the 6-4 Marshall to slide out to the wing, where he's more comfortable.
So will the younger Jack and Nana Foulland, a promising 6-8 sophomore.
Sophomore Chris Warren didn't get much notice last year, but he came on strong late in the season for Holy Name and should handle the point for the Saints. He won Esterly over during the summer with his ability to handle the ball and step up as a defensive stopper, even against bigger guards.
If the former rivals mesh as a team, the Saints could be looking at not only a Berks Conference title but a District 3-AAA championship as well. Maybe more.
"We all love to play," Miller said, "so it was kind of easy blending in together."
Marshall is looking for big things, even with the step up in classification and a challenging non-league schedule that includes Philadelphia Communications Tech, Philadelphia Electrical and Technology Charter, Red Land and Constitution, and possibly Harrisburg and Delone Catholic, depending on how tournaments unfold.
"My expectations are the same as always," Marshall said. "I always thought our team at Central was able to hang with any team in Pennsylvania. I'm even more excited that there's going to be more competition. Being a senior, I really don't want to lose."

WoO Sprints
Lasoski moves to second in points with solid Eldora efforts
Danny Lasoski drove the No. 20 Mopar-powered car from Tony Stewart Motorsports to two Dash event wins and two second-place A-main finishes to close within 83 points of series leader Steve Kinser at Eldora Speedway Friday and Saturday. The effort was good enough to move him from sixth to second in the series point standings.
Mopar powerplants dominated Friday night preliminary action, with Daryn Pittman taking the pole with a blazing lap of 13.169 seconds around the 1/2-mile high-banked oval. Tyler Walker qualified third using his Mopar power, while Lasoski tripped the timing mechanism fourth fastest . Lasoski's nephew and fellow Mopar driver Brian Brown won the C-main event.
Lasoski dominated the first Dash, and after running early A-main front runner Walker down, brought the No. 20 machine home to a second place A-main finish behind Kinser. Lasoski's performance locked him into Saturday night's A-main feature, and after winning another Dash event, "The Dude" lined up on the pole for the finale.
On Saturday night, the No. 20 jumped out in the lead on the first lap, despite having to change engines between the dash and A-main events. Lasoski began lapping the field on lap seven of the 30-lap feature, creating a comfortable lead for himself ahead of Kinser. That lapped traffic later become "The Dude's" downfall, however, as Kinser used it to his advantage to make a last lap pass. Kinser went on to take the win by three car lengths to earn the win in Eldora Speedway's 100th World of Outlaws feature event.
Lasoski and the No. 20 J.D. Byrider/Mopar team will continue their championship quest this weekend in Missouri, competing at Sedalia Speedway on Friday, and moving on to I-55 Speedway on Saturday.
Danny Lasoski drove his Mopar to two Dash victories and two second-place A-main finishes at Eldora Speedway in Ohio over the weekend to fuel his jump to second-place in the WoO Sprint series point standings.
SCCA ProRally
"We've put a lot of work into our car. We're really proud to have these Mopar rally cars on display at prominent shows like New York, IAS and SEMA. It's a great chance for us to show off our awesome Mopar race cars that most people are not used to seeing."
-- Chris Whiteman, driver of the No. 143 Mopar Dodge Neon and winner of the 2003 Group 2 championship.
Mopar shows its stuff at popular exhibits from coast to coast
Two championship vehicles from the Team Mopar SCCA ProRally stable have recently been on display at high-profile car shows.
This week at the prestigious New York International Automobile Show, the No. 143 Mopar Dodge Neon, driven in Group 2 by Chris Whiteman and co-driver Michael Paulin, is being featured on behalf of Dodge and Mopar. The show opened to the public April 9 and runs through this Sunday at the Jacob Javits Convention Center.
The previous weekend, the No. 52 Mopar Dodge SRT-4 of Doug Shepherd and co-driver Pete Gladysz was a popular feature at SEMA's International Auto Salon in Los Angeles. The car also impressed viewers at the SEMA show in Las Vegas last November.
The SCCA ProRally series returns to action this weekend in the form of the "Oregon Trail" rally in Hillsboro, Ore., where Shepherd and Gladysz will defend their 2003 Group 5 event championship. Both the No. 52 and No. 143 Mopar teams won their individual classes at the season-opening rally, "Sno*Drift," held in Michigan in late January.
Francis picks up wins at Florence
Team Mopar's Steve Francis won Friday's 30-lap "Battle of the Bluegrass" event at Florence Speedway in his familiar Mopar-powered No. 15 mount. Francis took advantage of an open World of Outlaws weekend to race in the NARA event near his home.
Francis also notched heat victories both Friday and Saturday at Florence and finished third in Saturday's "Spring 50" main feature.
Francis returns to WoO Late Model Series action this weekend at Lone Star Speedway in Kilgore, Texas.
Further Action
Ted Musgrave is one of many Team Mopar members who are itching to return to various tracks around the country this weekend.
"As a team, we've committed to a lot of testing over the next few weeks," Musgrave said in mid-March.
"We're definitely going to test before the Martinsville race, as Dodge Motorsports has rented Greenville-Pickens Speedway for all of us to test before the Martinsville race. It will definitely give us an advantage going into Martinsville. We are not going to Martinsville unprepared."
Many NHRA, NASCAR Mopars also in action this weekend
Numerous other Team Mopar standouts will take to the national stage this weekend. Check out moparspeed.com next Monday for the full run-down.

Check out live television coverage from Martinsville beginning at 1 p.m. this Saturday on Speed Channel.
USAC Sprint
Weather postpones Nashville
Rain forced the delay of the USAC National Sprint Series event that had been scheduled at the Music City Motorplex in Nashville, Tenn., Friday.
The two Mopar cars from Tony Stewart Racing Enterprises used the opportunity to race at the Terre Haute (Ind.) Action Track Saturday night in Midwest Sprint Car Series action. Jay Drake and Cory Kruseman were super fast off the truck, winning their respective heats before the event was called due to rain.
Dave Steele will join Drake and Kruseman in USAC action on the tarmac at Anderson (Ind.) Speedway this Sunday for the rescheduled Glen Niebel Classic. Image
Jay Drake and Cory Kruseman traveled to Terre Haute (Ind.) to race when their event in Nashville was canceled, and they turned in impressive performances before the weather turned against them.

The Ashes: Fifties from Joe Root and Kevin Pietersen take England to 247/4 at stumps on Day 3
England, who at 3-0 up had already won the five-match series, were 181 for three at tea, 311 runs behind Australia's first innings 492 for nine declared and still needing a further 112 to avoid the follow-on.
Ian Bell was left holding the fort for England yet again as they struggled for runs on the third day of the final Ashes Test against Australia at The Oval on Friday. (Highlights | Scorecard)
England, who at 3-0 up had already won the five-match series, were 247 for four at stumps, still 245 runs behind Australia's first innings 492 for nine declared but needing just 46 more runs to avoid the follow-on.
Bell, who came into this match having scored exactly 500 runs in the series with three hundreds, was 29 not out off 110 balls in nearly two-and-a-half hours at the crease.
Meanwhile Test debutant Chris Woakes, Bell's Warwickshire team-mate, was 15 not out following a final session played under gloomy skies despite the glare of the floodlights. See in Pics
Several England batsmen got in but failed to press on, with Kevin Pietersen making an unusually restrained 50 in 133 balls.
England scored 215 runs in the day's 98.3 overs, the run-rate rarely rising above two an over, in a match where victory would mean they had won four Tests in a home Ashes for the first time.
But there was still something to be gained for England by denying their arch-rivals a consolation success -- Australia's last 'winless' Ashes was in 1977 -- ahead of the return series 'Down Under' starting in November.
England resumed Friday on 32 without loss after Shane Watson's Test-best 176 and Steven Smith's 138 not out -- his maiden hundred at this level -- had taken Australia to their imposing total.
Alastair Cook, the England captain, was 17 not out and Joe Root 13 not out.
The openers made a solid start, with Root clipping Ryan Harris off his legs for four while left-hander Cook square-drove the fast bowler for a boundary.
But Cook's poor series with the bat continued when he followed a delivery angled across him from Harris and edged to wicketkeeper Brad Haddin for 25.
It was an all-too familiar exit for Cook in a series where he has scored 243 runs in nine innings with a best of 62 at an average of just 27 -- a far cry from his triumphant 2010/11 Ashes tour of Australia where he made 766 at 127.66 with three hundreds.
Root's pull off Peter Siddle saw him to a 145-ball fifty with eight fours, but, after lunch, he made a tame exit on 68 when he fell into an obvious trap by top-edging a sweep off spinner Nathan Lyon straight to Shane Watson at short fine leg, with England now 118 for two.
There were ironic cheers from a capacity crowd when Pietersen drove leg-spinner Smith for four -- the first boundary in 11 overs.
But the first delivery with the new ball saw Jonathan Trott lbw for 40 to left-arm paceman Mitchell Starc.
England challenged but, with the Decision Review System upholding Pakistani umpire Aleem Dar's verdict, it was the end of Trott's 134-ball knock.
By contrast Bell, a Warwickshire team-mate of Trott, got off the mark fifth ball with a square-driven four off Starc.
Pietersen's bottom-edged boundary -- England's first in 14 overs -- off Test debutant James Faulkner saw him to a fifty on the ground where his stunning maiden century at this level secured an Ashes-clinching draw eight years ago.
However, Pietersen had failed to add to his total when he edged Starc to Watson, now at first slip, to leave England on 217 for four.
Woakes's medium-pace posed little threat in Australia's innings but the all-rounder's batting suggested greater promise as he got off the mark first ball with a cover-driven four off Starc.

A question that most volleyball coaches have to answer at one time or another – oftentimes on a regular basis – is whether we will use our libero to play in Zone 5 or Zone 6. That generally is meant to be addressing the case of the libero playing back row for the two middles. It is part, however, of a broader question of how to maximize your back court, both offensively and defensively.
There are three primary considerations involved in answering this question.
Back row attack
Generally speaking, if you want your back row OH to be an attacking option then you probably want to position them in 6. Because that usually (but not always) involves them taking up a deeper position, it means they are better able to get a good approach for their attack. It also provides a bit more attacking flexibility, especially when working in combination with a front row quick attack (e.g. running the bic or back row quick). Having them playing in 5 limits things.
Second ball setter out-of-system
In the situation where the setter has to take the first ball, who takes the second? I wrote about the setter-out setting question previously. If the player in 5 is expected to take the second ball then you have to think about whether a back row attack is desirable in your scheme. If so, then having your OH setting isn't desirable. There is also the question as to who's going to set better ball to the front row players, which is more of a personnel question than a system one.
Best digger
The other consideration has to do with how you're setting up your defense. Will most balls tend to go to 6 or to 5 in your system. Is there a meaningful difference in the digging ability of your OHs vs. your libero? If so, you may want to favor one or the other defending in the zone where more balls go. But keep in mind the question of the purpose of defense.
Different situations, different schemes
When I was coaching the Exeter women in my second year we played a system where we left one MB in and only used the libero on the other with both playing in 6. My reasons were because I had OHs who were strong reacting forward into the court (good for playing in 5), but not strong moving laterally (needed in 6), and we didn't use them much for attacking back row as the MB and setter or OPP could all take those swings. When I was at Svedala our OHs played in 6 for attacking reasons.
The bottom line is that you need to think about your team and your players and go with what maximizes the effectiveness of the personnel.

Whether it's trying to convince his principal that the reason his hair is orange is because his mother made him color it, arguing with his great-grandmother over whether she's taking a shot of gin or just drinking her "medicine," or being voted the team's least valuable player, Zack really knows how to take life's lemons... and chuck them in the other direction, for the sake of his sanity; and sometimes at the cost of others'.

We're very excited for the release of a new book: Practice Perfect: 42 Rules for Getting Better at Getting Better by Doug Lemov (bestselling author of Teach Like a Champion), Erica Woolway, and Katie Yezzi – with a terrific foreword by Dan Heath. We've all heard the expression "practice makes perfect," but then why doesn't it always work? And why do we limit practice to things like the piano or tennis instead of what we really want to get better at like teaching our students, leading people, and even breaking bad habits?
By researching the latest in brain and behavioral science and in their work training teachers with Uncommon Schools, the authors found that what you do in practice matters as much if not more than how much you practice. There is a right way and a wrong way to practice. The right way involves breaking through assumptions, modeling excellent practice, using feedback, creating a culture of practice, making new skills stick and hiring for practice. Practice Perfect breaks down effective practice into 42 clear rules.

In a bit of site news, I've added a new page at the top called "What I'm Playing." It's exactly what it sounds like, just a simple list of games I've been playing lately.
One game that's on there that wouldn't have been there two days ago is Team Fortress 2. I've had the Orange Box for a while, obviously, but TF2 is probably my least-played of the package. There's not anything innately wrong with the game, it's just that I've always been more of a single-player gamer, my twenty-one-month addiction to World of Warcraft notwithstanding. Dealing with the attitude of the average twitch gamer online isn't really something I enjoy doing.
But yesterday, after reading about the impending "Heavy Update" to the game, and looking at all the changes that Team Fortress 2 has undergone in the last few months, I decided to give the game another shot. At about two in the morning, I looked up and realized I really needed to go to bed.
It really isn't the same game I bought a year ago. It's constantly evolving, which I haven't ever really experienced in an FPS before. I admit I'm a fan of the new achievements for the medic, pyro, and soon the heavy, especially because they happen to be my three favorite classes to play. I've logged more time on the medic than on all the other classes combined, but the heavy and pyro are in pretty close competition for second place.
There's something about the game now that makes it easier to deal with assholes. Maybe it's the voice chat. I think it's easier for someone to be a jerk online when they don't actually speak, and obnoxious behavior like screaming over a microphone will get you booted from a game a lot faster than, say, typing in all caps.
But in addition to gameplay changes, I also found that the game itself has taken on a bit of a narrative shine. Partially as a result of Valve's "Meet the Team" videos, the game's classes seem to be much more distinct characters than I remember.
For example, I can't stand the scout now. I hate him, even when someone picks him on my own team. The snarky Boston accent and arrogant personality only make it more infuriating when I'm unable to send a syringe through the temple of a Red Sox fan rushing me with a scattergun.
At the other end of the spectrum, of course, is the heavy. Part of it is the feeling that when I'm feeding my medigun to a heavy, we're the most powerful combo on the battlefield, and I feel warm and fuzzy whenever my fat, Russian cohort thanks me with a "We make good team!"
Even the three classes without "Meet the Team" videos attached to them have developed personalities. The pyro is a psychotic maniac. The spy is a smooth ladykiller. The medic is a man of mystery. (Seriously, I get the feeling the medic has some kind of dark past.) Apparently, one of these remaining three is going to get a new video with the coming update. I'm pulling for the medic, obviously.
So now I'm going to wrap this up, because I'm going to go play some more.

Today is National Anti-Fascist Struggle Day. Can anyone explain exactly what fascism is?
The math says that Social Media will lose its status as a fad, and take its rightful place as "one of those things that we'd rather not remember we did" by 2020.
17 march 2017
Whenever a man demonstrates any kind of simple courtesy to a woman, or extends an invitation to participate in any kind of activity – ranging from a full "date" to a simple "Can I help you with your groceries?": the math says that he does so only because he wants to tap that ass.
It's not a bad thing, it's a HUMAN thing.
I love each and every single one of us.
"Woops, I did it again!
Britney Spears
Hey, gang! 2017. It's here, and so am I. There no way I could ever forget about you guys; any of you. You are my rock, my driving inspiration and living proof that we ARE a genetic collective. This year's math is a different, as you may have already noticed. No 500 page thesis, no intense and urgent calls to action and no calculations. Here's some new math for us to ponder together: This year, the math says that 2017 may just be the year that that we make the first blinking attempting to open our eyes together and maybe, just maybe, we'll realize that we CAN do better. The very instant that more than half of us realize it; we change reality, and that is beyond cool.
Happy New Year!

You know the Super Soaker. It's one of the top 20 toys of all time. And it was an accidental discovery that brought it into being. Trying to create a new cooling system for refrigerators and air conditioners, inventor Lonnie Johnson instead created the mechanics for the iconic toy.
A love of rockets, robots, and inventions and a mind for creativity were present in Lonnie Johnson's early life. Growing up in a house full of brothers and sisters, Lonnie demonstrated persistence and a passion for problem solving that became the cornerstone of his career as an engineer and his work with NASA. But it is Lonnie's invention of the Super Soaker water gun that has made the most memorable splash in popular culture.

On Wednesday, April 5th, from 3-6pm, the normally quiet tables of the library Reading Room will become collaboration zones for student-faculty interaction on scholarly topics.* Faculty will be available to meet with students seeking guidance on their research and writing for publication — including student Notes in HLS journals, writing competitions, and other extra-curricular publishing opportunities.
The event will be set up so that students can meet individually or in small groups with faculty members and librarians. "It's sort of a collective office hours, where a referral from one faculty member to another can be as simple as walking two tables down in the Reading Room," said Jonathan Zittrain, Vice Dean for Library and Information Resources in his invitation to faculty.
The library has already received commitments to attend from Professors Zittrain, Singer, Kamali, Bavitz, Desan, Fried, Gasser, Sachs, Steiker, and many others.
A networking reception with food and drink will also be available throughout the event in the Caspersen Room and library staff will be on hand to showcase resources for scholarly publishing available to faculty and students.
Participants should RSVP by visiting http://bit.ly/notesandcomment so that the event coordinators can work to plan appropriate student-faculty partnerships in advance.
*Note that students looking for quiet study space during the event will be directed to the Reference Room.

Appointments of Enduring Guardian
While the Enduring Power of Attorney allows someone to make decisions as to financial matters on your behalf, the Appointment of Enduring Guardian allows someone to make decisions about you and your needs, when you are unable to do so. These decisions can include:
- Where you should be accommodated
- What medical or dental treatments you need
- What personal care services you need
We can help you by:
- Guiding you as to whether you ought to appoint a Guardian
- Ensuring that you, and the Guardian you appoint, understand the effect of the appointment
Advance Health Care Directives
While the Appointment of Enduring Guardian gives clarity as to who can make basic health care & welfare decisions if you are unable to, an Advance Health Care Directive can record your specific wishes as to what medical treatments should be administered or declined.
We can help you by:
- Providing a checklist of issues for which you may want to give directions
- Ensuring the Advance Health Care Directive you make is effective and binding.
What is an Appointment of Guardian?
An Appointment of a Guardian is the appointment of someone to make decisions on your behalf concerning your wellbeing when you are not in a position to do so. For instance, if you are injured or ill and are unable, due to the injury or illness, to make decisions as to what medical treatment or care should be provided to you, then the Appointment of a Guardian will enable that person to make those decisions for you.
If I have a Power of Attorney is it necessary to make an Appointment of Guardian?
A Power of Attorney is limited to dealing with matters of a financial nature. So, when it comes to arrranging for a person to, say, take up residence in a nursing home, then the donees of the Power of Attorney can sign forms that are necessary. But, the donees of the Power of Attorney is, strictly speaking, not the one authorised to decide which nursing home. That is for the guardian to determine.
Who should be appointed as Guardian?
An Appointment of a Guardian is a very important issue and must be considered taking the wishes of the whole of the family into account. It may be that there should be more than one Guardian appointed and that those people should act jointly. It would be difficult to appoint more than three Guardians given that decisions would, from time to time, be needed to be made on an urgent basis and obtaining the consent of all appointed Guardians for the one decision may be difficult.
What is the extent of an Appointment of Guardian?
Usually the Guardianship appointment is limited to making decisions of a lifestyle nature, primarily in respect of medical treatment and care. Therefore, the usual provisions as to what the Guardian may determine are as follows:
- to decide where you should live
- to decide what health care you should be given
- to decide what personal services you should be provided
- to decide as to what medical or dental treatment should be carried out on you
The responsibilities can be wider than those set out above, but they need to be carefully considered and the document carefully drafted to ensure that the intention is clear and effective. For more information see Advance Health Care Directives.
How is an Appointment of Guardian made?
The Appointment of Guardian is a simple written document which we would prepare for you. The appointment needs to be signed both by the person making the appointment and the person or persons being appointed. The execution of the document must take place before a lawyer so that the terms of the appointment can be explained both to the appointor and the appointees and the lawyer signs a certificate which then makes the Appointment of Guardian operative.
Can an Appointment of Guardian be revoked?
The Appointment of Guardian can be revoked at any time by you provided, of course, that you have the mental capacity at the time to make that revocation. The method of revocation is by written instrument in the form prescribed under the Act.
The Supreme Court and the Guardianship Tribunal also have an overriding power to appoint a Guardian. If a Guardian is appointed by the Court or the Tribunal, then the appointment by written instrument is suspended while the Court or Tribunal Order applies.
What is an Advance Health Care Directive?
This is often referred to as a "Living Will". It is a document which states your specific wishes or directions regarding your future health care for various medical conditions. In other words, its relevant to that common statement that people make such as "if I'm in a coma and won't come out of it, switch off the machine, I don't want to be a burden to my family".
These Directives will only come into effect if you are unable to make your own decisions as to your wellbeing.
What is the legal status of an Advance Health Care Directive?
An Advance Health Care Directive is legally binding in New South Wales. As a competent adult, you have the legal right to accept or refuse any recommended health care. By using an Advance Health Care Directive, if you are not capable of making decisions to accept or refuse any recommended health care, your Guardian can make those decisions for you on your behalf.
My spouse knows what I want if I'm in a coma, why do I need Directives?
That may be exactly right but if you are incapable at the time and your spouse says that you wish any life support removed, how does the doctor know that your spouse is following your wishes? A clear written Directive, properly witnessed, will satisfy that dilemma.
The other point on this is that such a decision might have to be made by your children. They may not really know how you want to be dealt with but, more importantly, they may feel uncomfortable making that end of life decision. Again, clearly drawn Directives can give them some comfort in knowing that you want and give them confidence in communicating that to your doctor.

> Fluorescent light fixture problems
Fluorescent Light Fixture Problems
What are some common problems with fluorescent light fixtures? How do you solve them?
Fluorescent bulbs generate four times the amount of a regular bulb. They are bright and efficient, which means you should have very few problems with a fluorescent light. But, from time to time, there will be a small problem. Here is a list of common problem, and how to fix them. Make sure you turn off the power before beginning any repairs.
1. Bulb won't light
First make sure the bulb isn't burned out. Like a regular bulb it will color when burnt out. Then check the wall switch. Make sure there is no blown fuse. If that checks out, clean the ends of the bulb, on the pins. Then put it back in place and see if it turns on. If not, you have a problem with the starter or ballast. You won't be able to tell which is broken, so replace the starter first. A ballast is expensive to replace. If the ballast is broken, you might want to consider buying an entire new fixture.
2. Light flickers
Cold temperature can cause a light to flicker. If it is not cold, or you have had the light on a long time, and it still flickers, replace the bulb. If the bulb flickers, it could overheat the ballast. A new bulb might flicker when you first put it in. Leave it in for several hours. If it still flickers, the ballast might already have been overheated. Replace the ballast, or buy a new fixture.
3. Light blinks on and off
Blinking simply means the bulb is about to die. Go ahead and replace it. If it is a new bulb, you might have a band connection between the pins and socket. Clean the pins and return the bulb to the socket.
4. Bulbs burn out fast
If you turn this light on and off frequently, the bulbs will burn out fast. Replace the bulbs, and try to leave the light on for longer periods.
5. Ends of bulb are discolored
Gray rings at the end are normal. If they are black, the bulb is old and burnt out. Replace it with a new one. If the bulbs turn black fast, see number 4.
6. Fixture hums
A fluorescent light will hum, but you can buy an A-rated model, which is the quietest of lights. If the noise is accompanied with a strong smell, the ballast is defective and needs to be replaced.

Net Neutrality: Part 2
We have a First, I don't think it will be the Last
It is just nearly a year that Sprint CEO Dan Hesse called Net Neutrality "a hard concept to get my head around". It was in this interview that Dan Hesse categorically stated that Sprint, a United States telecommunications company, will not be changing its unlimited plans. but then backtracks to state that it could be a possibility.
Well the future is now.
In my previous post, I put a hypothetical advert to demonstrate what kind of billing or plans we would see advertised if net neutrality were to end. Well, now we can turn that hypothetical into the real world example.
Sprint is now the first company in the US to begin setting up a multi-tiered internet service.
Sprint have now declared with all openness and without subtlety that subscribers to its networks will have to pay more for access to social media and music.
Virgin Mobile USA, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sprint. Sold under Sprint's Virgin Mobile plans is now providing Unlimited access to one of four social media services for the price of $12 (£9) on top of any data plan.
You could only pick ONE out of the four. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pintrest.
To be able to access all of the social media services you will have to pay another $10 (£7) on top of the $12 to be able to have full access.
So our calculations so far is another $22 a month on top of the $5 that you will have to pay to get, ironically, "Unlimited Internet".
Additionally it would also cost $5 a month to have unlimited streaming from any one music app. If you are on Spotify Premium you would have to pay an extra $5 to access the music that you have already paid for.
This is worrying as Sprint is not offering you a direct service to provide you with music, they don't have music to offer you, you don't deal through Sprint to get Spotify but they act as if they are, charging you as if they were providing that service.
What we have here is complete discrimination over your internet usage. On top of any other data caps that you are provided with, it will also soon get confusing. And where confusion reigns the customer will evidently lose MORE.
It is a sad case that a large percentage of their subscribers don't know what net neutrality is, much less care about it.

On Paladin Podcast Episode 17, we speak to W. Hock Hochheim about his new video with Paladin Press. Mr. Hochheim is a military veteran and former law enforcement officer with more than 20 years of experience as a street patrolman and case agent detective. He has also performed security and protection work for former mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani, best-selling author Tom Clancy, actor and martial artist Chuck Norris, and many others.
As a self-defense expert who teaches seminars for civilians and law enforcement professionals around the world, Hock's first video with Paladin is titled Street Stick Combat: Stick Takedowns for Hard-Core Self-Defense. Hock takes decades of street experience, strips away the theory, and brings you a stick takedowns program you can use as a civilian, law enforcement officer, or military professional. The point isn't to create a so-called "stick fighter," but a street warrior capable of handling almost any violent encounter using a stick, baseball bat, or any other like blunt weapon, including less-lethal use of a rifle or shotgun.
Listen along as we talk to Hochheim about some of his military, martial arts, and law enforcement experiences, and the making of his first Paladin video.

facebook worried about its use as a news Sharing platform.
facebook now has started worrying that it has become a news sharing platform rather than a personal update shaing platform.It has seen a decline in users sharing personal updates ad it is very worried about it.
The total sharing according to multiple reports have gone down by 5.5% in mid 2015 and by 21% overall.This "context collapse" as it is being called is a result of large number of users migrating to whatspp or snapchat and messenger which has become a more personal way of sharing messages.
Now in order to increase more intimacy in terms of sharing in has introduced nostalgic feature like "on this day" where it shows a person what he or she did on this day a year back..similarly recently its has introduced live video feature which surely can help pump up the people to share personal updates.Only time will tell how successful this is.

Channelview linebacker Marcus Burton has trimmed down his physique and is trimming down his prospective college favorites. So much so, that he could be committed as early as next weekend.
"Marcus is a wrecking machine and his body is so different this year," Channelview coach John Lanius said. "He doesn't look the same, and he's been able to move to middle linebacker from defensive end. He's gotten so much stronger and faster than a year ago."
"One of his relatives owns a gym and he really worked hard this summer. He had some NFL scouts work him out this summer and they were really impressed."
While schools are drooling over the new and improved Burton (6-1, 225-pounds), some offered in the spring including Oklahoma State, TCU, SMU, Missouri, Houston, Duke and Washington State to name a few.
But one that hasn't offered has his undivided attention.
"I am going to Oklahoma next weekend (September 10th), and if they offer – I'm committing," Burton said. "I like the coaches and the defense just fits me. It's a great fit for me."
If the Sooners don't offer, Burton's current favorites are Oklahoma State, UCLA, Washington State, Missouri, Arkansas and Houston.
Channelview has a pair of receivers that will be receiving attention this fall in Travis Jones (6-2, 170-pounds) and Johnny Knox (6-0, 170-pounds), who could match the success of Lamar's tandem of Brandon LaFell and Quincy Driver.
"We played seven-on-seven this summer and they gave LaMarque's Clarence Ward and Korey Mangum all they wanted," Lanius says. "We will depend on him a lot this season because our defense is built around throwing the ball."

But fees and wage demands could prove to be a stumbling block in Parkin's bid to sign the players he feels will strengthen his squad.
He has already been linked with a number of players, including Barnet midfielder John Doolan, Burnley's Paul Smith and Macclesfield Town's Rae Ingram to name a few.
"We've got an idea of a few players who we would like to bring to the club but I've said all along that we would wait for all the lists to come out first," Parkin said.
"When they do, we will go through them with a fine tooth comb and take things from there.
"It's important to see the whole list to keep our options open because a lot will be determined on what we can and can't afford.
"Wages have gone up astronomically over the last 12 months.
"We know who we would like to have at the club but a lot depends on whether or not we can meet their wage demands."
The success of former goalkeeper Stephen Bywater, who was sold to West Ham, could help Rochdale financially, however.
The 19-year-old was brought on as a half-time substitute in England Under 21s 3-0 win over their Mexican counterparts at Leicester City's Filbert Street ground last week.
Rochdale do not receive money for any appearances he makes for England U21s as a substitute.
But, if he makes four starts, the club will be handed £25,000 following a deal they struck up with the Hammers at the time of his transfer.
