Lesson 3
Why we need Normalization
Explain the purpose of normalization.
Objective of Database Normalization
Relational databases are built to store and access data efficiently and the design of a database has a huge impact on its performance.
The purpose of normalization is to maximize the efficiency of a database.
Consider a database where all the data is stored in a single table.
Columns of the Order Table
This table tracks information relating to
a merchants orders, and
contains all of a customer's information and
all of the item's information in every record.
This type of design has several drawbacks:
More than one entity is represented in the table.
In this case, the table represents Customers, Orders, and OrderItems.
The table contains redundant data.
Every time a customer places an order, their contact information (Name, Address, and Phone) is needlessly repeated.
Any query requires the RDBMS to search the entire table.
To find every unique customer in the database, one would need to search every line. There is no location set aside to store data about Customers and only Customers.
Updating information, such as customer names, requires the RDBMS to change multiple rows.
If D. Loge moved from Washington to Seattle, the RDBMS would need to update every row containing his information.
Deleting a customers only order also removes all contact information for that customer.
If D. Loge cancelled the only two orders he placed, no record of him as a potential customer would remain in the database.
Database Normal Forms Explained
Tables that conform to the rules of normalization are said to be in one of several
normal forms
, depending on which rules the table adheres to. In this module and the next we will concentrate on the first, second, and third normal forms. There is a logical progression from one normal form to the next, so it is possible to resolve basic design flaws before tackling potentially more difficult problems. This means that a table in a normal form is automatically in all lower normal forms. That is, a table in second normal form is automatically in first normal form.
The next lesson describes first normal form and provides instructions for producing a table in first normal form.

This was painful. The Ottawa RedBlacks let one slip through their hands, literally.
It was there for the taking. Right up until the final 20 seconds.
For the record, it will go down as a 10-8 Edmonton Eskimos win in front of another loud sellout crowd at TD Place, with a 27-yard field goal by Grant Shaw providing the deciding margin.
Despite an outstanding defensive effort by the Redblacks, yep, DEEEEEFENCE, the offence couldn't hang onto the ball at key times. Oh, my God. Dropped passes. Dropped passes. Dropped passes. Basic stuff. See ball. Catch ball. Run with ball. In that order. But to run with ball, you have to have ball in your possession. Marcus Henry, Wallace Miles, Onrea Jones and Matt Carter all dropped passes that should have been caught. And a fumble by Carter inside the Eskimos 10-yard line late in the game allowed Edmonton to drive the field and score the winning points.
"That's tough," said Carter. "Football is a game of highs and lows and if I could take one play back, it would be that fumble at the end of the game. I've got to understand the situation a little bit better. We're in field goal range … I'm trying to make a play, I'm trying to help my team. I was trying to do a little too much and the ball got away from me.
"Somebody got their hand on the ball and punched it out. That's a fundamental thing,I've got to have the ball tighter to my body. I feel sick right now, but I'll learn from it."
"It's concerning, but I don't question their work ethic," said RedBlacks coach Rick Campbell. "It's a team game. Obviously, you don't want to turn the ball over. (Carter) made a tremendous catch in the first half. One play never wins or loses a football game."
Ottawa looked like it was in good shape with less than eight minutes left when Edmonton gambled and was stopped on third-and-one from the RedBlacks seven, instead of kicking the field goal. QB Mike Reilly was stopped an inch short by linebacker Antoine Pruneau.
The RedBlacks took the ball on the seven and, helped by an unnecessary roughness penalty, got inside the Edmonton 10, where Carter fumbled. Ouch. That was the game right there.
It's just the way things have gone. Even when the RedBlacks play well, they don't have that killer instinct. And they, at times, have bad hands.
The RedBlacks had an 8-4 halftime lead that could very well have been 17-4.
After two straight shellackings, the RedBlacks came out fired up for their third home date of the season.
The RedBlacks drove downfield following the opening kickoff, helped by a couple of Edmonton offside penalties. But after drops by Henry and Miles, they had to settle for a single on a missed 42-yard field goal attempt by Brett Maher.
Brandyn Thompson had a huge interception at Edmonton 38-yard line and took it to the 22. Jones dropped a touchdown pass, then Maher booted a a field goal to make it 4-0.
An Edmonton single on a punt made it 4-1.
Miles hauled in a Henry Burris pass and took it 55 yards to the Edmonton 20. Maher kicked a 20-yare field goal to make it 7-1. After a Connor Willliams sack, the Eskimos settled for a Shaw field goal. Carter hauled in a Burris pass for 35 yards with a spectacular diving catch. Maher punted for a 60-yard single to make it 8-4.
Two roughing-the-passer calls on Jonathan Williams to start the third quarter allowed the Eskimos to march deep into RedBlacks' territory. But a Reilly fumble gave Ottawa the ball on its own two.
Edmonton got a 28-yard field goal by Shaw to make it 8-7.

Merino wool is a biodegradable and renewable fibre with natural properties that make it a compelling choice for use in active wear and base layer clothing. Using 100% Australian Merino wool fabric, the Women's Mountain Designs 150 Merino Pants are a comfortable, high performance garment suitable for a wide range of activities.
The lightweight 150g/m² Merino wool material is itch and static free and feels soft against the skin. Being naturally flame retardant and self-extinguishing, these thermals are great for wearing around a roaring camp fire or fireplace. The crotch seams are flat locked for comfort and hems are coverstitched to increase durability.
Moisture is efficiently wicked away from your body by the fabric and spread across the outer layer for efficient drying, this action helps to regulate your body temperature in hot, cold and damp conditions. Bacteria that can cause bad odours is naturally inhibited from growing by the wool and helps to keep these pants smelling fresh between washes.
Equally at home on a run around the neighbourhood or on a multi-day hike into the mountains, the Women's Mountain Designs 150 Merino Pants are a versatile piece of clothing.

Meet Me at Boston's, a free, weekly run and walk tailored after the Meet Me at Maynard's event in downtown Tucson, is being unveiled Wednesday, April 28, at Boston's The Gourmet Pizza restaurant in Marana's Arizona Pavilions.
Dave and Michele Hill, Marana residents since 2002, plan to make Meet Me at Boston's a Wednesday weekly event.
They're encouraging residents to "get out and support the community, meet and greet other residents while taking steps needed to become fitter," said Michele Hill, who is community relations director for Boston's. "Lastly, MMB will just be a bunch of fun."
The route is approximately three miles, starting at Boston's in the Arizona Pavilions development, crossing the Santa Cruz River on Cortaro, then returning along the river path and around the new Crossroads Park. Shorter routes are available.
The walk will start at 6 p.m. each Wednesday, the run at 6:15. First-timers may register beforehand; waivers are required.
Those who make it eight times get an MMB t-shirt, those at 10 times are listed as MMB Athletes, and those with 15 get a hat. They can also earn discounts at Boston's and at Nana's Kitchen.
The Hills are "avid and competitive runners" who enjoy Marana's open spaces. They helped form the Tucson Grinders, a runners organization that can count as many as 50 at full strength.
Boston's is owned by Marnie Fredericks-Spence and Marlene Egeland.

The nine-game homestand started out with such promise for the Boston Red Sox.
They took the first three games from the Tampa Bay Rays before falling in the finale. And now, after the Texas Rangers came in and swept the local nine, they now sit at 3-3 for the first six game and their AL East rivals the New York Yankees are looming over the weekend.
Someone in the front office might want to go out and spread some rumors about Mike Napoli so that he doesn't re-sign with the Texas Rangers or anywhere in the American League for that matter. Simply put, he's been a Red Sox killer over the years.
Coming off of a two home run night in the rout on Tuesday, all Napoli did last night was add a single, double and home run with 4 RBIs. His two run blast off of Josh Beckett turned out to be the difference in the game.
In 35 career games against the Red Sox, Napoli his hitting .302/.383/.716 with 14 home runs and 31 RBIs. 18 of those games have come at the Fens where he is hitting .328/.450/.759 with seven home runs and 17 RBIs.
Despite the fact that Beckett took the loss last night, he did everything in his power to keep the Red Sox in the game. His velocity was up a MPH or two on his fastball and while not as dominating as his last start, it was still a solid effort from the Texan.
He ran into some trouble in the 4th when former Red Sox David Murphy led off with a single and then Napoli crushed one out of Fenway to put the Rangers in front for good at 3-2. After that though, Beckett was dominating.
After the Napoli home run, he retired the next three batters along the way to retiring the final 12 he faced in the game. He seemed to work in more cutters and curves and they kept the Rangers hitters off of balance the rest of the way.
He also worked again with Kelly Shoppach again, hoping to keep the synergy up from the last start. My best guess is that this pair continues to work together as the season progresses.
Once again, Bobby Valentine made some questionable decision in regards to the bullpen. Of course, right now, there's not really any one person he can trust down there other than maybe Alfredo Aceves.
Franklin Morales was one of the bright spots so far down there as well but last night brought us a totally different story. He gave up a single, intentional walk and a walk of the conventional variety to load up the bases to face a righty in Craig Gentry. Instead of Valentine bringing in Matt Albers to face Gentry, he stood pat with Morales, who got 0-2 on him before plunking him in the foot to bring home a run.
After that happened, Morales gave up a double to the right-handed hitting Napoli and then intentionally walked the left-handed hitting Mitch Moreland. Valentine then finally went to Albers who got Brandon Snyder to ground into a double play to end the inning.
Ryan Sweeney continued his hot hitting coming off the bench this time to drive in a run in the 9th. Unfortunately though, pinch-hitter Jarrod Saltlamacchia lined in to a double play to end the rally and the game.
Valentine is having a really tough homestand. He's made a few made decisions and they've cost his team the game. You have to wonder if he's having trouble adjusting to managing the game, one that's changed a lot since he last managed in the big leagues in 2002.

Participants of the Sixth Asian and Pacific Population Conference (APPC) [official website] hosted by the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) [official website] declared Sunday that gender equality and reproductive health are indispensable to sustainable development. Ministers and senior officials from 47 countries adopted a comprehensive Asian and Pacific Ministerial Declaration on Population and Development [PDF], which affirms and endorses policies of non-discrimination, of ending violence against women and of universal sexual and reproductive rights. The declaration will also serve as the region's input for review by the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) [official website], which will be conducted by the UN General Assembly [official website] in 2014.
The UN and others have been working around the world to promote gender equality and reproductive health [JURIST backgrounder]. The UN has been particularly concerned with violence against women, and in March more than 130 UN member states agreed to adopt new measures [JURIST report] to prevent and eliminate violence against women and girls. Gender inequality has also manifested in countries' criminal justice systems, and in 2011 the UN Special Rapporteur on the Independence of Judges and Lawyers [official website] Gabriela Knaul [official profile] urged countries to integrate gender perspectives into judicial procedures to allow women's perspectives to challenge the "traditional notions of judging and judicial authority."

Based on the analysis of 37 leading construction companies, Accenture sees the global marketplace changing rapidly and construction firms must be agile, efficient and customer-focused to stay ahead of the competition.
One specific trend standing out is the fact that the global construction industry in emerging markets is expected to double within a decade and will become a $6.7 trillion business by 2020. Growth will be fuelled by urbanization, globalization, infrastructure renewal and the burgeoning needs of developing "megacities"—especially in the rapidly emerging economies of Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa and Eastern Europe.

A young baby boomer named Isabella Bannerman has made her mark. She is a feisty cartoonist whose cartoon commentaries often reflect the world that has changed in the lives of baby boomers. BoomerCafé's occasional contributor, Philadelphia's Roz Warren, profiles Isabella, who has made it to the top!
We're happy to report that Cartoonist Isabella Bannerman has just won this year's Reuben award for "Best Newspaper Comic Strip" from the National Cartoonists Society.
Bannerman is one of the six female cartoonists making up King Feature's popular "Six Chix" strip, which is syndicated to 100 newspapers worldwide (and is also available online.) Bannerman has contributed the Monday cartoon (and as well as many Sunday strips) to the feature since it began in 1999.
To be considered for the Reuben, Bannerman had to submit a dozen cartoons published in 2013, which were then evaluated by a jury made up of other artists. Her favorite of the batch? This cartoon about texting:
Used with permission of comicskingdom.com
"I was concerned about the danger of texting while driving," Bannerman says. "Texting and walking is a lot less scary than texting while driving, so it seemed better for a cartoon. Everyone is familiar with "The Road Not Taken." I liked the way the words of the poem fit with the sight gag."
Another winning cartoon was this critique of a current bestseller.
Used with permission of comicskingdom.com
"I read Sheryl Sandberg's book Lean In— and just reading it made me tired!" says Bannerman. "Sandberg wants women to do more. Speak up more! Sit at the table! Lean in when we do sit at the table! She's clearly a super-high-energy person—after all, the woman is a former aerobics instructor. While I have no problem with her message, for a less energetic person, all that pushing and leaning sounded exhausting. I decided to reference that old hair spray ad— 'She conked out but her hair held up!' Even as a kid, I found that ad weird and funny."
Still another cartoon pokes fun at an aspect of contemporary life many of us will recognize:
Used with permission of comicskingdom.com
"I'm old enough to remember when yoga didn't require a lot of equipment," Bannerman says. "Maybe, at most, a beach towel. So when I recently found myself in a crowded yoga class that involved hauling a small household's worth of equipment to my spot, I found it funny."Bannerman was 38 when "Six Chix" began. Now she's 53. How has her work changed? "I'm doing fewer gags about little kids and more gags about living with teenagers," she says. "And more strips about aches and pains, going to the doctor, and trying to live in a healthier way. But her outlook has also changed. "These days I also do more editorializing about larger issues, like pollution and climate change," she says.
"When your kids are young you're completely absorbed in the minutiae of their world. Now that my kids are older, I'm able to look around and take a broader perspective."
The best thing about being a syndicated cartoonist? "I never take for granted that I have an outlet to express my thoughts and my feelings," says Bannerman. "I love having the freedom to say whatever I want."
And an audience, including her fellow cartoonists, who can't wait to see what she has to say.

I don't know exactly when or where it started, but for a pretty wide swath of the population, "Running Ruins Your Knees" is less a belief and more a mantra or a slogan -- something that's been intoned and invoked so reflexively, so often, and handed down through so many generations, it's taken on the aura of eternal truth, of gospel. Never mind that it isn't, you know, true.
So I find it encouraging anytime I see a report like this one from a mainstream news outlet. Maybe if enough people read or hear enough such reports from outfits like NPR or CNN or the Washington Post, they'll gradually begin to see the light. If this story catches on, maybe the Running Ruins Your Knees crowd will begin to question their long-held beliefs.
It won't be easy, and it won't happen overnight. And I have a hunch that many folks in this crowd will simply find another reason to avoid running and to dismiss those who do run as fools gambling with their health.
Still, I'm hopeful. Like most distance runners, I am a patient person. I can wait.
I just hope I don't drop dead of a heart attack in the meantime. Running will do that, don't you know.

It will be very interesting to see how this plays out. Can they still sell an opened box as new? Since they opened the box and broke the seal, does that mean they agreed to the EULA, not you? If this is allowed, can a different store start opening boxes of children's cereal to take the toy out since that might compete with their own toy business?


text: Disney's animated class feature, Fantasia, was art when it was released 70 years ago, and art it remains today. What's especially nice about this particular art film, is that it's also very high end popular entertainment, as well as a basic class in classical music for the younger set, helped along by extraordinary visuals. Quality-wise, Disney's new Blu-ray is stunning, with audio to match. Modern technology has met a 70 year old original negative, and the marriage has worked. Nothing necessary to make this perfect has been spared. Hats off to the entire crew behind this extraordinary release. Very Highly Recommended. RAH

The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency says a Falls Township foundry will pay thousands for air pollution violations.
The EPA announced that the Burnham Foundry LLC has agreed to pay a civil penalty of $17,000 to settle air pollution violations stemming from its facility on Licking Road.
The EPA says the Burnham Foundry violated the terms and conditions of its air permit in April 2008 by exceeding the established particulate emissions at a furnace unit used to melt foundry returns and scrap metal. The Foundry submitted a plan to get into compliance in October 2008 and shut the plant down for maintenance in December of that year. In February 2009 they re-tested emissions and were in compliance.
The company was fined $17,000, because they failed to report that they were out of compliance between April 2008 and February 2009 in quarterly deviation reports.

You're SysCheck doesn't say so I'm just going to ask; do you have Priiloader or not?
Hai All,
I recently bought Rock Band 3 along with some of the USB Instruments, and when i put the disc in the drive it asks me for a update. I looked up what IOS it modifies, so i installed IOS 56 v5662 and no luck. I did some google searching, and was told to update IOS 37, 53, 55, 56, 57, and 58. I did all of this but no luck either. The game runs perfectly on USB Loading, except i had to install the cios X Revo 20 for DLC SD card reading. I do have Hermes cios 222 installed, but when i load it with CFG loader the Wii just freezes before the game launches. All i want is for the Disc Channel to work, so i can use that for USB instruments and SD card usage when needed. Here is a syscheck aswell. I apparently have alot of stubs....

You're SysCheck doesn't say so I'm just going to ask; do you have Priiloader or not?
No I don't.
You should have it. I recommend using the Softmod ANY Wii guide in my signiture to make sure your mod is all set (this guide will also have you install Priiloader which you will set to block disc and online updates, thus taking care of your issue).
The question is would the Instruments still work? I assume they would since I have the most updated IOS 56.
My Rock Band instruments work, yours should too. Just follow the guide as its written. Read it 2-3 times before trying it.
Thanks for the help. Should i just follow the Priiloader section of the tutorial or start from the beginning of the tutorial? Sorry for so many questions, I really want to do the minimal task as possible. :P
Start from Softmods with Homebrew channel already installed. You'd be wise not to skim it or try to pick and choose what you do, that's a good way to mess things up.
Exactly. User's cIOS are a mess - do it all starting from where SNES toldya.

Dolores Fire Department
I am always impressed at how efficient and committed our department members are - always ready to help, continuously preparing and training for emergencies.
Each month, we have a truck check of vehicles and gear, including inspection and maintenance. We also hold a monthly business meeting, and two to three training meetings for tasks like tanker shuttle, engineering, water drafting and hose testing. We have had pipeline emergency training, and if you have noticed the two vehicles at our station in Dolores, we practiced and trained on auto extrication. We are a volunteer department in which our members carry pagers and respond 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Monsoon season has slowly made its way to our area with the afternoon buildup of thunderhead clouds showing possibility of rain. Unfortunately, the rain has seemed to miss our area, leaving us with dry lightning strikes and the potential for very significant brush fires. There is a fire ban in our county that is strictly enforced, and we need to keep in mind that things such as firecrackers can also cause fires, endangering lives, homes and belongings.
As of April 1, our department responded to 45 EMS calls and 27 fire calls (the majority of which have been lightning or out-of-control burns).
I'd like to remind all property owners to make sure your street address signs are visible day and night for emergency responders to see clearly. Our department can sell the green and white reflective address signs. If interested in purchasing one, please call the Dolores Fire department at 882-4096. If no one answers, please leave your name and phone number with message and we 'll return your call. If we can't find you, we can't help you.

About eHam.net
Susan J. Helms (Colonel, USAF) and NASA Astronaut on Expedition 2 in the ISS yesterday remarked to three hams that'd contacted her on a pervious pass. She suggested that they shouldn't keep contacting the ISS since they'd already made contact with her.
This is a welcome suggestion on the part of Ms. Helms. Hopefully these hams, for some reason unknown, who constantly try and contact the ISS on every pass, even though they'd made contact before, will listen to Ms. Helms suggestion and give other first time hams a chance to contact her or others in the ISS.
I can't understand why these hams, would constantly bottle up the only uplink frequency to the ISS, continuously try and make multiple daily contacts with the ISS when there are many hundreds or thousands of hams who've tried and can't get through.
It would be the gentlemanly thing to do since they have already made contact not to try again. I finally made contact on 05/09 with Ms. Helms and have not tried to "call her back".
I have tried to help other first time callers with flight information, frequencies and times of best possible contact with the ISS. Why don't these other hams, who have made these contacts, help other first time hams attempting to contact the ISS with usefully suggestions?

Lack of execution costs Sox in 10-inning defeat
Lack of execution costs Sox in 10-inning defeat
The bad news was that the White Sox (75-64) were unable to take advantage of that Tigers' setback due to their own 2-1 defeat suffered in 10 innings to the Royals (63-77) at U.S. Cellular Field. That loss leaves the White Sox magic number at 22 to eliminate the Tigers (73-66) from the American League Central race and holds their division lead at two with the Tigers coming to town Monday for a possible division-deciding four-game series.
Maybe the best news of the afternoon, though, lies in the fact that the White Sox only have three games left against Kansas City from Sept. 18-20 at Kauffman Stadium. This latest Royals victory gave them a 10-5 record against the White Sox this season, a 7-1 mark in their last eight head-to-head games and a 10-1 record in the Royals' last 11 played against the White Sox and Tigers.
"Our pitchers did what they needed to do," said White Sox manager Robin Ventura, after his team fell to 3-3 on this 10-game homestand. "Situationally, we didn't do what we wanted to do offensively, running the bases, all that kind of stuff. It was a bad day all the way around."
"It was one of those days where it got away from us," said White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham.
Following nine scoreless innings, the Royals managed to push across two in the top of the 10th. That winning rally started after A.J. Pierzynski threw out Alcides Escobar trying to steal second for the inning's second out with Billy Butler at the plate and Brett Myers on the mound.
Myers' struggles facing the Royals are representative of the team. Factoring in Sunday's effort, the right-hander has allowed 12 runs on 18 hits over 3 1/3 innings against Kansas City this season.
"Everything was finding a hole," Myers said. "It seems like every time I face them, balls find the holes and stuff like that. I don't necessarily think the quality of the pitches are bad. They are just putting the bat on it and finding holes and being able to score runs."
"I don't know what it is, but we've done a nice job against him," said Royals manager Ned Yost of their success against Myers. "The numbers are pretty staggering."
That two-run lead was sliced to one in the bottom half of the frame, when Greg Holland (13th save) walked A.J. Pierzynski and Orlando Hudson and gave up a run-scoring double to Beckham on an 0-2 pitch. But with runners on second and third and one out, Holland took advantage of the 5 o'clock ballpark shadows and struck out Alejandro De Aza and Ray Olmedo.
Olmedo replaced Alexei Ramirez in Sunday's starting lineup, when Ramirez showed up late to the ballpark and was scratched. Ventura said Ramirez will be back in the starting lineup Monday against Detroit.
"Unfortunately for us, the shadows really played a huge part in that last inning," Beckham said. "It's like it was yesterday, and for three innings, nobody got a hit yesterday. It was tough to see, and Holland, he's got a great slider.
"He's throwing 98 mph. He's really good. It wasn't meant to be. We gave it a run. We didn't die after they scored two runs. That was commendable for us."
Those first eight innings saw Royals starter Jeremy Guthrie and a trio of White Sox rookies in Hector Santiago, Brian Omogrosso and Nate Jones dominate the hitters. Santiago worked four-plus in his second big league start, striking out a career-high eight and walking three, while throwing 93 pitches. He was replaced by Omogrosso in the fifth after walking ninth-place hitter Johnny Giavotella for a second time.
Omogrosso threw two hitless innings and Jones gave up one Lorenzo Cain single in his two innings of work. Santiago was pleased with his performance, although he knows working deeper into the game is key as a starter.
"Just too many foul balls and I'm walking too many guys," Santiago said. "Everything was working and I just couldn't get the early-count outs."
Guthrie was brilliant yet again against the White Sox, allowing six hits over eight scoreless. Guthrie struck out four and used only 97 pitches, giving him 23 2/3 innings against the South Siders this year without giving up an earned run.
His excellence got an assist from Alex Gordon throwing out De Aza at the plate in the first on Dewayne Wise's fly ball and Jeff Francoeur nailing Pierzynski as he tried to stretch a line single off the wall in right into a second-inning double, resulting in a five-throw rundown. Francoeur also threw out Ramirez trying to go from first to third on a Pierzynski single for the last out in the seventh.
The best White Sox chance for victory came when they loaded the bases with one out in the ninth against Tim Collins and Kelvin Herrera (3-2), only to have Alex Rios hit into an inning-ending double play. Now, they move on to Detroit, whose 10-4 record against the White Sox is on par with the Royals' 2012 dominance.
"We know it's important," said Beckham of facing the Tigers. "We're excited to play them at home and not in Detroit."

Who are they and where are they now?
No.18 is Dorothy Tait.
No. 60 definitely my sister Anne Baldwin.
Maureen Card was in my class at Laindon Hills School. I think her dad had a fish shop.
I seem to remember having a few maths lessons with her in either the 2nd or 3rd year (equations I think). Softly spoken, very kindly, patient lady.
44 Could be Margaret Parris, she is mentioned in the introduction to this 1958 school year photograph.
No. 44. The name Mrs Parris rings a bell - anybody agree?
Funny how things stick in your mind. I remember visiting No 49 Carol Craft at the BP garage one Saturday with Kathy Hymas No 50. We had just finished a shift at Hatters Garage. As we went into the kiosk, Carol was just putting on make up and there was a nice smell of perfume as well. The first time I had been that close to a good looking young lady and at the age of 16, for me it was a heady experience, they were about 18 at the time. Happy days .
Number 13 on page 6 is Kathryn Spooner
No 60 is Ann Baldwin
Sorry Georgina, nearly right number 30 is my cousin Janet Pope
No. 30 Janet Porter.
No. 29 is Maureen Hudson
Hi Nina sorry but No. 9 is not Joyce Milton. She is on the next page No. 26
Have just been looking at the photograph of all the pupils year 1958 Page 6 number 15 is my sister Gloria Hudson.
Number 21 is definatly Maureen Perry not Pat Perry.
No. 44 definitely isn't Mrs Callaghan - she didn't start at the school until later. I do remember No 44, very pleasant lady, attractive and always well turned out. She didn't work at the school for long, maybe just a year, trying hard to recall her name.
Could 44 be Miss Callaghan?
Silly me 61 Linda Brooks one of my pals from King Edward also on Showtime picture.
Ann, ok well who is 44 then?
This photograph is haunting me. I realised in the middle of the night that No 43 is not Mrs. Collison but Mrs. Bane who was Mr. Woodward's Secretary.
54 is Carol Ludlow Moved from Corona Rd Laindon Hills to Devonshire Rd A lovely person.
No 42 Mrs Fordham the school secretary
I think No. 43 may be Mrs. Collison. She took us for Art for a short time.
Ruth Millstead 24. Her & her sister girlfriends from Noak Hill when I was 9!
60 The name that came to mind was Anne Baldwin? perhaps someone else can confirm or deny?
No. 18. Pat Brewer ?
There was some earlier confusion over No. 34 and No. 35. As things now stand, Rose Leonard is No 35. in high necked white blouse, dark hair pulled back from her face with a little bit coming forward into a fringe.
Number 27 is my sister Pat Pattle from King Edward Road. Pat now live's in Suffolk.
No 27 Pat Pattle. No 35 Rose Leonard?
Editor: we now have 34 and 35 identified as the same person, please check?
No 34. Her name is Rose Leonard, not Brenda as I had previously thought. However, her number seems to have been changed to 35, so now we have two with the number 35. Can she be changed back to No. 34?
Editor: Sorry Nina, I must have made that error when this page was republished after I tried to sort out the numbering previously. I have made a temporary adjustment and will make the final adjustments when we put the new pages together.
Ann Chapman is on Page 7, No. 52. Unless there are two girls with the same name. Ann and I were in the same class.
23 Ann Chapman
Andrea, your call on Kathy, if you say number 50 then it must be so. Certainly 49 is Carol. :))
All I can say is that I grew up with the Hymas family, was in their house, played with the kids all the time - they, and their mum Kate were always in our house, which was next door but one. I can't see the other girls looking remotely like Kathy (number 50). But hey - que sera, or as they say these days - whatever! LOL xx
Editor: Just in case there is some confusion 56 is the girl immediately the left and 50 is the girl in the row behind with the number just below her chin.
I think we have got it correct now, 49 is Carol Craft and 56 is Kathy Hymas. How do I know, well Kathy worked with me in Hatters garage while Carol was in the BP garage near the roundabout. They were buddies.
Hi Shirley. Yes of course, now I remember, her name was Maureen Perry - thank you for tweaking my memory - if I remember rightly, she married Alfie Bartley. Not sure about Carol Craft. You could be right. I recognise so many faces but cannot think of their names. Best wishes.
Hi Nina, is No 21 Pat or her sister Maureen. Is No 49 Carol Craft?
No 39 is Valerie Miller
33 is my friend and Margaret Mason :-) no 36 is Frances Beager :-)
Oh dear, more number changes. Pamela Patrick is now No. 20 and Pat Perry is No. 21.
No. 52 is Brenda Holt.
I've just noticed that due to renumbering we now appear to have got Kathy Hymas correct as number 56. Can we therefore switch this in the name list underneath please. As I recall Kathy was always happy, always had a new joke or song to tell or a new funny episode which had happened to her in our A127 Regent garage forecourt during the day (I took over from her at 4 oclock in the week). We used to have a tip jar which by the time she went home was always full up with cash, proving what a popular girl she was. It was me though who committed the most embarassing things like filling up a 40 gallon tank on a lorry with petrol instead of diesel and dropping a full quart of Duckhams oil in a glass bottle onto the showroom floor. Or trying to run away from two alsatians in their locked compound whilst carrying a 5 gallon drum of paraffin. Many good tales to tell of those happy times in that cold winter of 62-63. Hope you are ok Kathy !!
Gloria, Lin and Diane wont be in it because they were much too young. Pam might find herself on there I would be interested to hear of any tales you bring back thanks!
is 28 Margaret Cove
Hi everyone I am meeting up with Pam Callow this week, hopefully will find her sisters Linda and Diana if they are also in it.
No. 33. NOT Christine Mason
No. 9. Joyce Milton
40 Miss Munt was my French teacher in the second and third years. She later got married and became Mrs Parrinder. Very strict young lady. I'm just looking at one of her Honours Certificates now which says 'A very good translation into English', M.A.Parrinder. I do hope she is keeping well.
No. 9. Joyce ?
Hi Richard, Very sorry I can't help with Pam Callow as I didn't know her, I can only recall some names from people at the top of the picture where I am, as they were the ones I seemed to know. I have also found my old autograph book and am looking at it with all the signatures from both Langdon Hills and Laindon High Road such lovely memories including Miss Jollyman but have been unable to put all the names I've got, to the faces in the photo kind regards (Happy hunting)
Gloria I can't see Pam on this photo. I can't see her on the copy I have here at home either. My guess is she either didn't wear glasses at the time, she was not at school that day or some other reason. Or it could be she is hiding in the photo along with Vanessa. I nearly went dizzy last night searching on these photos and gave up about 12.30. I reckon she'll suddenly pop out when I'm looking for someone else. It will be good for some other people to look at this site who will know and identify other school kids who are on here in this photograph. At least you can see Fred now.
Richard has anyone found Pam Callow yet? I have looked close and can't see her, did she wear glasses at school? She did when she married Fred. I will go round to ask her if no ones found her yet, she lives in Suffolk now.
50 has the Kathy Hymas smile, I think its her, we worked together in Hatters Garage. Gripping isnt it..
Is number 50 Kathy Hymas?
Definitely not me then, as I was working in Fenchurch St then, still love to know who it is.
Editor: look at 6 on page 12
44 the French teacher Can't remember her name
I thought I had too, but can't quite recall if I left Xmas 1957 or summer 1958. I would like to know who this person is, she is my teenage double. It could be my pal Veronica Nightingale some say we looked alike, I hope someone can tell me.
Editor: This photograph was taken October 1958.
Message to Joan Sarfas, which one is Pam Callow?
I think no. 35 might just be me.
Editor: Sorry Gloria I have been informed that you missed out on this one but I believe to 1956 will catch you
24 Ruth Millsted ? 1 is Jessie Hernandez not Jessica, you are doing an amazing job well done.
Wow, is that really Ann Edwards at No.59? This is only the first year, you should have seen her in the 4th year.
No 33. Christine Mason
Hi Brenda. Of course, you are right, I remember now. Thank you. Not doing too badly after 49 years! Remembering most of the names, just a little slip here and there. Very best wishes. Nina
Hello Nina, you have no. 45 as Diane Munro, her maiden name was Lockwood.
16. Janet Hayes
No. 47. Definetly spelt Raney and not Raine.
47. Raney Rouse
1 Jessie Hernandez 2 Ellen Burr 3 Barbara Reynolds 4 Joan Sarfas 5 Mary Warren 6 Valerie Tiller 22 Jenefer Smeed 26 Elaine Soul
No. 34. Brenda Leonard?
40 Miss Munt
Number 8 Josie Hunt, 38 Anne Green, 37 Pat Sheppard
No. 2 Pat Hutchins No. 58 Christine Burden No. 41 Mrs Bishop-Lagget No. 53 Cassie Turner No. 33 Margaret Mason
No 1. Jessica ? 12. Hilda Carpenter. 21. Pamela Patrick. 45. Diane Munro. 46. Maureen Card. 48. Susan Galsworthy 51. Joy Robinson. 32. Brenda Holt. 47. Raine? 55 Betty Andrews. 57. Christine Elliot

Pick ME!! Pick ME!!! I want a new HP PHOTO BOOK!!!
So you lost the last contest at Mommy Needs a Cocktail. You're feeling a little down. You expected it to go a little better. This was your contest. You were feeling it. You owned it. And you didn't win. Well, guess what? There's another chance to win something great.
The very nice people over at HP sent me some of these really cool photo books that are just hot off their presses. Two sizes. 5″ X 7″ and 8 1/2″ X 11." Retailing at $14.99 and $24.99, you really can't beat the price plus convenience of making your mother-in-law's holiday present while sitting in your robe and furry pink slippers. HP also asked me some questions about my lurve of photography (you can read about it here) and then they offered me FOUR photo books to give away, two of each size.
First, they sent these books to me without realizing that for the past 4 years, I have purchased at least 10 books from at least 4 different online photo sites. Oh, I'm a photo book goddess. It's the new baby book. Of course I am always paying for rush shipping because I didn't get my act together in time and now I need the present yesterday and I'm really going to have to pay for it to get here in time.
That's where the great HP photo book software comes in handy. I can make a total personal creation a la Mommy Needs a Cocktail with the hit of the print button. Borders, the works. Woohoo. You crafty people will love it. You lazy people will love it even more.
But back to the contest.
Four. There will be four winners. Four. That's like a million winners. Your odds have just gone up significantly than the last giveaway. This is your shot. And even if you don't win, you could always head over here to get a 20% off coupon to buy your very own photo books if you buy them online at the HP store. Because once you win one of them from me, you are going to get hooked and then Lord knows the entire world on your Christmas list will be getting a photo book of your cute kids, or your cute dog or that lovely fall leaf photo collection you made. Or maybe you just want to make your own little photo book to take to work to show all the girls the profile photos of all your latest Match.com dates since work will no longer let you access the website. I mean, it's not like you can decide on Prince Charming alone.
And the nice thing about the photo books? When you break up with The Bachelor from Page Number 7, all you need to do is pop open that binder on your photo book and remove his picture. Maybe you want to rank pictures of your children in order of who is being the least annoying. Baby Boy just pooped in the corner behind the magazine rack. My boy is going right to the back of book and his older brother that just made me a flower out of toilet paper is moving up. It's as easy as that. What more can you ask for?
But I don't have a printer, you say? This little one moves wherever you do and doesn't even need a computer to work. When you are hiding in the bathroom from the kids, you can now expand your list of Things that Can Be Done While Hiding In the Bathroom to include making photo books. I can neither confirm nor deny I know this from personal experience nor do I think the good people at HP intended me to try out the printer in this manner but I'm just saying it sounds like a really good idea. Cough, cough.
But what's the catch? Well, because we are so high pressure over here at Chateau Cookie, you are gonna have to work for your freebie. Leave a comment here and tell me what YOU would do with the photo book. No need to think about it long and hard. I won't come to your house to see if you actually follow through. You end up making it and loving it and keeping it, I say, so be it.
I'll pick a RANDOM winner every day at 9 pm starting on Tuesday and ending on Friday. The winner for the day will be taken out of the running. if you don't win on Tuesday, you could still win Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. So reality is, the earlier you enter, the less number of people in front of you. Think about it. Just enter once. You are on your honor. No excuses for split personalities…..Share on Facebook

If I could have picked you all, I would have. Really!
Before you get your feelings hurt, I want you to know that I picked Sarah by googling "random number picker" which sent me to some site which told me that Sarah was the winning entry. So you, Sarah, you won the lottery. Don't tell anyone if you don't believe in gambling. It'll be our little secret.
You didn't win? There's a whole new contest with FOUR prizes. You know you want an HP photo book. You do.Share on Facebook

You know what we've seen enough of? Movies about extraordinary people who just want to be normal. It's kind of like watching movies about rich people whining about how much money they have. It's sort of like watching a movie about people spitting on your dreams. Wish you could have a better life? Nah, don't bother it sucks to have money or strength or ability or success or to be smarter than you are. Just sit there and watch TV, it doesn't really get any better than being "normal", whatever that is.
Here's another movie about extraordinary people who just want to be normal. At least that's how director DJ Caruso describes his new movie I Am Number 4 in the following featurette, while wearing an abnormally fuzzy sweater. I guess he's not normal either. Watch:
As described there the plot of I Am Number Four sounds a lot like the one used in Wes Craven's failed horror movie My Soul To Take, except with super powers. In that movie seven kids are born and then hunted one by one, by a shadowy figure. This time it's nine kids born on earth and hunted one by one, by a shadowy figure. Somehow though, I suspect this take on that story will be better. Everything's better when you can shoot lightning out of your hands.
I Am Number Four arrives in theaters. If you missed the debut of the movie's first teaser trailer a few weeks ago, you can check it out right here.

Florida defensive tackle Dominique Easley has gained distinction as one of the most interesting quotes in the SEC, something that's been evident ever since he attended his press conference following Florida's victory over Florida State last fall with an industrial-size tub of animal crackers in hand. But at SEC Media Days on Tuesday, Easley outdid himself. When asked a question involving legendary Alabama coach Bear Bryant, Easley not only didn't recognize Bryant's name -- he asked if Bryant was a cartoon character:
There is only one reaction to this development: IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE PAWWWWL.
Of course, this all makes infinitely more sense once fans get to know the real Easley and his much more pressing concerns:

I have been told by my riding buddies on more than one occasion that my taste in street equipment tends to lean on the boring side. Without immediately rebutting with my standard excuse, lack of funds, I will concede to such accusations here in my international forum in effort to justify myself.
To begin let's get one thing out of the way: Their definition of boring goes well beyond the superficial, the bike's intended purpose, or even engine configuration/ horsepower numbers. Yes, if such criteria were the standard by which they judged, I would be sitting pretty having purchased (then sold) bikes ranging from a Yamaha R6 to a Suzuki GSX-R600, a Honda XR650L, a Kawasaki KZ750, FZR600, a Buell Blast and a pair of nearly identical Suzuki GS500Fs (don't ask). Sure it's a seemingly standard (if not almost entirely Japanese) stable, representing the meat of the current mid-sized bike market. Note that off-road models aren't included as claims of my apparent boring-nature apply only to street bikes.
The problem, it appears, is that while I'm rarely on the same bike twice, I've never actually shown up to our weekend excursions with some real vintage iron per se. My friends view vintage cycles as synonymous with culture, style and excitement. While my contemporary examples are often surrounded by such culture-rich classics as Triumph Bonnevilles, Vincent Rapides, Moto Guzzis, and cafe racers of various marque, I myself tend to steer clear of any such acquisitions. And apparently, others have taken notice. After giving the matter some serious consideration, I believe I may finally know why:
Lack of Patience
More power to those backyard mechanics who take pleasure in the tedious process of a full restoration, but I personally cannot handle the rigors of shopping for parts that haven't graced dealership shelves since JFK was in office. More often than not, my restoration-heavy buddies spin yarns of parts that had to be handmade in France and cost as much to ship as they do to purchase then arrive in a million pieces due to poor packing. They prowl eBay, classified ads, swap sheets, and junk yards like a shark circles its prey and know the infinitesimal nuances between one of a 16-digit part number. By the time they set off to actually install the part in question more time, effort and money has gone into that single transaction than I can usually spare for an entire project.
Riding with the vintage set requires letting go off the quantum leaps in technology and reliability offered by today's motorcycles.
The Trial and Error
Ask any restorer and they will tell you that having a vintage bike fully reassembled is only the very beginning of the finished product – others still insist that there is no such thing as a finished product at all. Tasks such as fine tuning cable adjusters and brakes, dialing in ancient carburetors, adjusting valve tolerances, and hoping you remembered to Loctite sixty bolts simply reminds me of the patience typically possessed by a model-builder (that, as indicated above, I apparently lack).
The Roadside Diagnostics
I don't mean to generalize but it sure seems like my buddies who pride themselves on vintage restorations seem to pull off to the side of the road an awful lot in effort to diagnose strange noises, odd behaviors, or to pick up a piece that suddenly decided to detach itself from the rest of the bike.
Ritualistic Behaviors
The process of having to put on my jacket, helmet, and gloves then stick my key into the ignition are about all the pre-ride rituals I need to feel satisfied in the parking lot. Terms like carb ticklers, spare spark plugs, feeler gauges, box of fuses, or an extra magneto "just in case" really terrify me. Call me spoiled if you must, but if my magneto suddenly craps out hundreds of miles from home, I'll be calling a tow truck and if I'm lucky, maybe the driver will let me ride in the cab with him.
The Flow of Time & the Laws of Physics
Sometimes I'm baffled when I hear one such vintage rider say something to the effect of that even in better-than-new condition, their bike's brakes are barely better than dragging your feet on the road or that their suspension is equivalent to a stack of marshmallows. I'm a believer in the concept of technological advancement and take great comfort in the fact that at their worst, my brakes are likely outperforming those vintage stoppers at their best. Side note: This is especially worrisome when I happen to be just ahead of a freshly restored bike.
The Ongoing Nature of the Project
It turns out I'm a bit of a "set it then forget it" type of guy and restored bikes seem to demand more of an "endless project" type of guy. Just the other day my buddy Gary encountered some type of electrical anomaly on his Triumph where his headlight went into an intermittent flicker each time he turned on the left turn signal. Once back in the workshop he discovered that while replacing the original wiring, it was the perfect opportunity to install a new exhaust system and pistons and rings. Naturally this lead to new tires and a paint job. What caused the headlight to flicker in the first place is anybody's guess but last I heard, it's acting up again.
The Incomplete Product Development
Many diehard restorers are under the impression that there is no such thing as a bad motorcycle, only bikes that left the factory before all of the fine tuning was performed. As such with research and development taking place in the real world, it is the restorer's responsibility to work out of the bugs through tweaks, upgrades, and some genuine ingenuity. I, on the other hand, would like to take this moment to thank all of the nameless factory workers out there who've created for me bikes that required very little thinking on my behalf.
The Lack of Optimism
I don't know about you, but when going to look at a bike on my short list of immediate consideration, I want it to appear and perform as close to the picture in the brochure I spent the two months prior drooling over. Words like "basket case", "in pieces", "could use a little TLC" and "nearly complete" send me running for the hills. Not so with the restorer-type. Apparently they see the opportunity for improvement in these descriptions where I find only time that I will not be in the saddle.
If for nothing else, I shy away from vintage bike restorations on account of the financial backing required to get from point A to point B. Perhaps if I was independently wealthy and had more time to appreciate the finer things in life: Art, culture, carburetor Amals, and Lucas Electrics, things would be different. But as it stands, all of my mechanical know-how is currently spoken for in simply keeping my "modern" vehicles in service.
I take that back, if I was independently wealthy, the first thing I would do is hire a personal mechanic. And while I'm at it maybe buy some new friends.

Andy Walker Takes You Back to Root Stock Basics at WiVi Central Coast
Dr. Andy Walker, professor and viticulturist at University of California, Davis, will run through the history and recent developments of root stocks in "From Roots to Shoots: Getting Back to the Basics," a viticulture breakout session at WiVi Central Coast, held in Paso Robles March 19-20. In this session moderated by Central Coast plant physiologist, Lowell Zelinski, Ph.D., you'll hear industry experts explore everything from matching rootstocks to a specific site to how to manage your canopy to create the right growing environment for your winegrapes. Walker joins Mark Greenspan of Advanced Viticulture, LLc and Dan Rodrigues of Vina Quest LLC in the panel discussion. Seminar tickets are available for advance purchase at www.wivicentralcoast.com.
Andrew Walker has been a faculty member of the Department of Viticulture and Enology at the University of California, Davis since 1989—the same year he began breeding grapes. His research program focuses on developing new rootstocks with resistance to fanleaf, dagger and root-knot nematodes and phylloxera. His lab studies the genetics of resistance to these pests, their genetic diversity and aggressivity, and host/pest interactions of these pests with grape species. Walker's lab is also actively involved in breeding table, raisin and wine grapes for resistance to Pierce's disease and powdery mildew.
He teaches two parts of a three-quarter viticultural practices course, which instructs students in rootstock and scion selection and identification, propagation practices, pruning and training, trellising, and vineyard development. He also serves as chair of the Horticulture and Agronomy Graduate Group, which administers the master's of science degree in viticulture and all applied plant programs. Walker received his bachelor's degree in botany in 1975, a master's in horticulture/viticulture in 1983, and a doctorate in genetics in 1989 from the University of California, Davis. In November 2000, he was appointed the Louis P. Martini endowed chair in viticulture.
About WiVi Central Coast 2013
California's Central Coast is quickly becoming one of the world's most popular and celebrated wine regions. Since December 2009, 95 new wineries popped up in the Monterey, San Benito, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz counties. In 2012, nearly 7 million cases of wine were produced in the region. This burgeoning area faces many unique issues in its wine-growing and winemaking efforts, and WiVi Central Coast 2013, a new symposium and trade show hosted by Wine Business Monthly and Precision Ag Consulting, has been created to address those topics.
WiVi will be held March 19-20, 2013 at the Paso Robles Event Center in Paso Robles, California. It is the only trade show and symposium to address the issues facing the Central Coast wine industry, one of the fastest growing regions in the country.

Planet Fitness Planet Fitness Membership Rip Off//SCAM saginaw Michigan
I had a membership with Planet Fitness, Saginaw Michigan. I was told to cancel a membership I needed to come to the location and fill out cancellation paperwork. After arriving and explaining my reason for stopping in, I was told just to simply return my key card and my account would be deactivated. I inquired about the paperwork I was told I would need to complete and was assured multiple times that the return of the key card would suffice for cancellation.
Yesterday, after reviewing my bank account, I see a withdrawl from Planet Fitness for not only the $20.00 monthly fee, but another $19.99 for an Annual Fee, totaling 39.00. Clearly, I was confused. I contact the office via phone and speak to a supervisor. This supervisor listened to nothing I said, insisted that I return to complete the paperwork, and let me know there would be no refunds for the charges I incurred.
Planet Fitness assured me my account was cancelled but kept it open to collect yet another payment, (a double one at that!) and then refused to refund the charges! I contacted the Corporate Office which quickly told me that this particular location is privately owned and referred me to an extremely vague email address for resolution.
I will continue to report this company to every outlet that will accept a review in order to avoid another consumer having this issue. I have already reported to the local news, the BBB, as well as many other review sites for the company. This is unacceptable and should be considered false advertisement and even fraud.

wikiHow to Win a Fight Against a Bully
Three Methods:Preparing the Skills to Stand Up for YourselfAvoiding a ConfrontationWinning the FightCommunity Q&A
Fighting should only come as an absolute last resort. Always try to walk away from a fight. Unless you or someone you care about is being physically attacked, you can always be the bigger man. Fighting might seem heroic and exciting when you fantasize about it, but actually getting in a fight is a terrible feeling. If you have to protect yourself, there are ways to end and exit the fight quickly.
Preparing the Skills to Stand Up for Yourself
1Join the wrestling team. Wrestling is great for fighting. It is probably the best way to fight in real life because you can avoid punching and kicking. Both of these things can lead to fractures, breaks, blood, and a lot of pain for both you and your bully opponent. If you know how to wrestle, you can just get in close to the guy, lock him up, take him to the ground, and then put him in a hold. There are some holds that can be pretty painful and uncomfortable for your opponent. They will be forced to submit. It will be very embarrassing for them and you won't have harmed them very badly. Learning to wrestle is highly recommended. [1]
- Wrestling is all about body weight, so you can beat someone significantly larger than you if you have the technique.
2Learn how to keep your balance. Playing basketball might even help you win a fight. The stance that you use to defend someone in basketball is similar to the athletic stance that you want to adopt in a fight. [2]
3Take a self-defense class. There are plenty of self-defense classes available that will teach you how defend yourself and get out of the situation. You can even take a short course over the weekend that will teach you basic moves and strategies.
- If you would prefer, you can take an offensive martial arts class like karate.
4Work out. Being physically fit is a great way to prevent fights and will help you when you are in one. You don't need to be covered head to toe in muscle - just work on having more endurance and getting stronger.
Avoiding a Confrontation
1Recognize when you need to fight. Violence should always be a last resort. If you aren't capable of winning a fight you might end up getting hurt much worse if you try to fight back. [3]
2Try making peace. Some bullies will see this as a form of weakness, but it's something that you have to do. If you can stop the bullying and future confrontations, you should.
- Try saying something like, "listen, I've got nothing against you. I'm not sure why you have something against me, but lets just let it lie. Thank you."
3Ignore them. If the bullying only includes words, don't escalate the situation. Just walk away silently. Don't even acknowledge the situation. Don't act scared, just never even make eye contact with the bully. Act as if they did not exist. If they can't torture you, they probably will lose interest.
- When they try to interact with you try to keep a completely blank look on your face and continue whatever you were doing. This will really frustrate them, and you'll be putting yourself in a powerful position.
4Turn the tides. Most people don't like bullies. If you are in a public place and the kid is bullying you, don't be afraid to call them out calmly and firmly. Tell them that picking on other people isn't cool, and you're not sure why they do it. Hopefully others will agree with you and let the bully know too.
Winning the Fight
1Assess the situation. Never enter a fight that you can't win. If the bully has a lot of his friends around don't try to get physical. Avoid a fight at all costs.
2Find an escape route. Even if you win the fight, you might need to leave very quickly. Take account of your surroundings and where you'll escape to. [4]
3Pack your knuckles. If you know the bully is stronger than you, try packing your hands. Keep two rolls of quarters in your backpack. When the bully confronts you, take them out and hold one in either hand. Your punch will be much more powerful with the weight of the quarters behind it. You can also throw the quarters at the person if you are in a desperate situation. Holding quarters will also prevent fractures. [5]
- Make sure that you don't grip your thumbs when you punch. You might break them.
4Attack unexpectedly. [6] Don't wait until you're in a position of weakness. If the bully has pushed or mocked you, he probably won't have his guard up. If this is something he does commonly, you are entitled to fight back. Hit/kick him hard in a weak spot as hard as you possibly can, and then follow that up with multiple other hits. One of the biggest mistakes that people can make in a fight is throwing one punch, and then backing off. As soon as you enter the fight you have to stay on the offensive to avoid retaliation. You can end the fight quickly. [7]
- Don't pull your punch. Hitting someone isn't a good feeling. We have a natural tendency to pull our punches, which means not following through on your momentum. You need to punch hard. [8]
5Keep your distance if the bully attacks you first. Unless you're trained in wrestling, try to avoid going to the ground. If he rapidly punches, keep dodging. You cannot effectively block punches in a real fight. Duck his punches, or just otherwise avoid them.
6Go for the weak spots. This means the gut, the groin, and the throat. Don't throw a punch unless it will hit one of these three areas. [9]
7Avoid kicking. Unless you're trained to kick, avoid kicking high. You'll put yourself off balance and it will allow the other person to grab your leg and potentially put you to the ground.
8Be confident and stick to the plan. You'll have adrenaline coursing through your body. Your legs might shake and your teeth might be chattering. Just keep telling yourself that you have to be the aggressor. Don't pause until you're sure you have won, and then get out of there quickly.
- Do not be the aggressor so much that you seriously injure them. Just make sure that you have ended the fight and you can get away.
Community Q&A
If I'm fighting with a bully, what sort of place would be safest for me?wikiHow ContributorNo place would be safe, but the safest place would be around other people. That way, you can get help if needed.
How do I fight a bully when I'm weak?wikiHow ContributorFirst of all, you are not weak! Don't make the bully let you feel small. Try to humor and embarrass him/her. This will probably make the bully back off, as this shows that you have a way to fight the bully.
What if it is during school in front of a girl I like?wikiHow ContributorStick to your plan but try to be the bigger man and not fight.
How can I fight a guy that is strong and twice as big as me?wikiHow ContributorUse your strengths. If you are small and fast, you can easily slip away if he gets you to the ground. Try working out and making yourself look harder to fight as well.
Can friends help me or the bully at the fight? Is it good idea, to have others join the fight?wikiHow ContributorWhen being bullied, all bets are off - there is NO fair play. A wall of protection is not off-limits. The question is, will a friend step in to help you?
How do I dodge an attack easily?wikiHow ContributorTry dashing to the side of the oncoming attack. If you don't have good reflexes, try to block the attack using your hands.
What should I do if there is corruption involved and it's more than just bullying?wikiHow ContributorYou should go to the highest available person of authority who can handle the situation. For example, if the situation is occurring in a public school, you could take it all the way to the school board or the state if need be.
What do I do when he jokes around and hits me?wikiHow ContributorIf it was meant to demean you, call him out or confront him. Don't start a fight, just tell him it's not cool. If it was a harmless pat or bump, keep your cool.
What should I do if a teacher or security guard is watching me?wikiHow ContributorThe best thing to do would be to go tell that teacher or security guard what's going on so they can step in and control the situation themselves.
- Keep your head and stomach guarded. These are mainly targeted by bullies.
- Protect your face.
- Have a couple of friends nearby, this must be done!
- If you're fighting more than one bully, keep your back against a wall/tree. This will stop someone sneaking behind you.
- Be ready. They will go for weak spots. Keep all weak spots guarded. If you're a girl, pull hair and guard central body. If you're a boy, hit in weak spots, but guard yours. Always wear protection if you know the fight will happen. Don't imitate them to fight, or else you will be the one to blame.
- Wear a cup. Most bullies fight dirty, so this will be a good idea.
- Only fight the bully as a last resort. Bring a friend or two along to watch out for you, just in case the bully plans on bringing some, 'Back Up'.
- Attacking them without warning can result in a win.

White Earth plans to launch radio station
Organizers on White Earth hope to have the first Native American radio station on the air in Minnesota.
In June, the Federal Communications Commission announced that Niijii Broadcast Corporation was a tentative selectee in a competitive process to secure a license to operate a radio station serving northwestern Minnesota.
The project is designed to serve the White Earth reservation area and further into the region with two towers and will provide service from the area near Detroit Lakes to nearby Bemidji and nearly to Red Lake reservation.
The project is coordinated by the White Earth Land Recovery Project, which applied for the license in October of 2007, the first time this opportunity for a community broadcast license had been opened to application in l4 years.
Niijii's coordinator Andrea Hanks said, "The communities on the White Earth reservation have been waiting a long time for this station to become a reality, to hear a native voice on the daily radio, is going to be great."
There are 33 Native American radio stations with 100 percent Native American content in the U.S. There are presently no Native American radio stations on any Minnesota reservations, although the Leech Lake reservation is in concert with the White Earth Land Recovery Project in applying for an FCC license.
There is, in general, a very large disparity in news and content void for Native communities; 99 percent of Indian country is not covered by Native American content.
The WELRP will start up an Internet news service and radio programming during the upcoming year to begin providing the infrastructure for development of the radio station. The radio station will be located at the Callaway offices of the WELRP and will also be unique in that it will be the second wind powered radio station by the time it comes on line.
To volunteer, contribute or find out more, go to www.nativeharvest.com, or call Teresa LaDuke at 2l8-375-2600.

July 12, 2010
Dear Ms. Anne Munoz,
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with my return flight last week on July 7, 2010
on Flight CO1588 from San Diego to Houston-Bush International connecting to Flight CO 582 to my destination Boston, MA.
Our plane / Flight CO1588 took off in San Diego at 1:05 pm, (20 minutes late), then the pilot said we would arrive 15 minutes early. Then 30 minutes from landing in Houston, Texas the pilot came on the overhead speakers to say that we were "in cue" to land and that we had to circle 4-5 times because the weather at the airport was poor, then after circling 4-5 times we were told the Houston-Bush Airport was closed, and the plane was diverted to land in Austin, Texas. Upon landing in Austin we were held on the plan for 2.5 hours in the on the ground waiting to go to Houston, we first needed to refuel before we could take off to complete our flight to Houston. Upon arriving to Houston, Texas at 9:20 pm, almost 7 hours later on the same plane, I found out my connecting flight CO582 had left at 8:29 pm. I missed my flight because we had to divert to Austin, then wait for refueling and clearance to land in Houston almost 2.5 hours. Upon arriving in Houston at 9:20 pm July 7, 2010, I was told that my flight was automatically rebooked at leave Houston 6:05 pm the next day. I was told there were no planes out of Houston to Boston that day on any airline!. I asked to be rebooked on an earlier flight at 3:30 pm the next day and then received a Hotel voucher for a discounted rate to the airport Hotel which did not accept the voucher (yet the Continental crew stayed at the same Hotel), and I paid $279.63 to sleep 7 hrs, and then got on a stand-by flight the next morning at 7:45 am. Please see enclosed ticket information and receipt. The service from the ticket counter was very poor the night of July 7, when I got in, they would not even try to book me on another airline to complete my travel, they would not book me on the first flight out to Boston at 7:45 am the next day. They said I would have to show up and do stand-by. They said they were not required to give me a complete hotel voucher because the weather was the cause of me missing my flight? When in actuality it was a lack of operational services at Austin, Texas airport and the lack of efficient refueling that was Continental Airlines fault. We were on the ground for 2.5 hours to get jet-fuel, that when the truck showed up it took 10 minutes to refuel the plane? Would you please reimburse me for the Hotel expenses I incurred during this travel with Continental Airlines?
