Please help with stereo and panning tips!
I tend to have ALL of my soundfiles in stereo before firing them into the sampler, even though most of em will probably be the same in both L and R channels... then I pan SOME stereo channels (vocals, strings etc.) on my desk.... but I'm confused by summat: a mono sound panned on the desk - is the effect the same as panning a stereo sound?
i.e. does it serve any purpose having my sounds in stereo if both L and R are the same?
Second, I'm trying to cut down the pans in order to keep the mix a bit clearer (following yr advice Macc-attack ): but what's a good guide to panning on the desk, in general?

New England Public Radio to Broadcast "DiverseCity - an evening with the Puerto Rico Philharmonic Orchestra" on December 23
New England Public Radio will broadcast the Arturo Somohano Puerto Rico Philharmonic Orchestra's performance recorded live at Springfield's Symphony Hall in October. The concert will be broadcast in its entirety on Sunday, December 23 beginning at 12:30 p.m. as part of the station's Sunday Classical Music (10 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.). The October concert, DiverseCity - an evening with the Puerto Rico Philharmonic Orchestra was presented by Partners in Community, The New England Farm Workers Council, The North End Education Development Fund and The Student Prince as part of a celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month.
The program includes songs, dances and arias from Latin America, the U.S. and Spain, including the Symphonic Dances from West Side Story by Leonard Bernstein, Arturo Márquez's "Danzón No. 2," Augustín Lara's "Granada," a medley of hits by Trio Los Panchos, selections from the zarzuelas El Niño Judio and La Taberna del Puerto, and highlights from the Puerto Rican songbook by such composers as Tito Henríquez and Rafael Hernández.
"Imagine the Boston Pops doing a program of Latin and Spanish symphonic favorites, songs, dances and arias, but with an authentic spirit and great zest," says NEPR's music director, John Montanari. "Toss in two fine singers and Springfield Symphony maestro Kevin Rhodes guest conducting the Symphonic Dances from West Side Story, and you've got two hours of great enjoyment."
The performance is conducted by Rafael Enrique Irizarry, with soprano Rosa Betancourt, tenor César Hernández, Kevin Rhodes, of the Springfield Symphony Orchestra as guest conductor.
"The Puerto Rico Philharmonic is a great treasure," said Heriberto Flores, president of Partners in Community and The New England Farm Workers Council. "We were very pleased to present them here in Springfield, and happy to have the concert broadcast on our local public radio station." The event was sponsored by numerous local businesses and organizations.

Pocket Watch Gifted By Jonathon Swift In 1728 For Sale At $14,500
Filed under: Timepieces / Watches
The pocket watch itself is in beautiful condition and likely a product of English watch making. In 18k gold, the dial is porcelain, with blued steel hands, and contains a wonderfully decorated movement. The watch of course has been restored, and should be in working order. Aside from the ties to literary history and English comedy from the 18th century, the watch itself is a fantastic example of artful watch making of that era. In addition to telling the time, the watch is indicated as being a quarter repeater. This is a family of chiming watches whereby the timepiece chimes each 15 minutes (on the quarter hour). Price fro this one of a kind rarity is pretty reasonable sounding at $14,500. A great collector's piece for pocket watch lovers and Jonathon Swift or English satirical author fans.

1. I think I've heard the following statement about 1000 times: "No one wants to play ________
2. I've also heard Denis Potvin give his daily breakdown of the exciting Flordia Panthers every single frickin' morning. I realize Potvin is an analyst for the team, and he is quite entertaining, but it'd be nice if he just didn't talk about the Panthers so much. I don't care that much about Gary Roberts.
3. The correct pronunciation is "about" not "aboowt".
4. I don't understand why they give soooo much time on the Boomer Gordon show to those doofuses from hockeybuzz.com. I listened to some goofball from Nashville spout cliche after cliche for 20 minutes straight yesterday and don't get me started on Ecklund.
5. This one isn't a gripe, it's actually something I enjoy. Listening to Phil Esposito talk about drinking and having fun with various ladies on the road is good radio. Gotta love Phil.
Now don't get me wrong here, I'm very happy that I've got the opportunity to listen to hockey talk around the clock, but these things were driving me a little batty. I feel better now.

Want to know how this works? Read all about it here.
- Heat the oil in a large casserole dish. Brown the chicken until golden on all sides – you might have to do this in batches – remove the chicken from the pan as you go and set aside.
- Add the lardons to the pan and sizzle for a few mins, then add the onion, celery and leeks, and cook over a medium heat for 8-10 mins until the vegetables have softened. Stir in the flour, season and cook for a further 2 mins.
- Gradually stir in the wine and allow it to bubble away, then stir in the stock. Return the chicken to the pan with the bay leaves and cover with a lid. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 1½ hrs or until the chicken is tender. The stew can now be cooled and frozen if you're making ahead. Just defrost thoroughly, then gently warm through back in the pan before continuing.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Add the peas, sundried tomatoes, pesto and basil to the stew. To make the dumplings, rub the butter into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Mix in the grated cheese and add 150ml water, mixing with a cutlery knife to bring the crumbs together to form a light and sticky dough. Break off walnut-sized lumps and shape into small balls. Roll the tops of the dumplings in the pine nuts so a few stick to the outside, then place the dumplings on top of the stew and scatter with any remaining nuts. Put the dish in the oven and bake for 25 mins until the dumplings are golden brown and cooked through. Serve with mashed potato and extra veg if you like.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, April 2012
Comments, questions and tips
Simply devine recipe. I shall certainly be cooking this again. I didn't use pesto but added some torn Basil leaves. I also used DRIED sun-dried tomatoes instead of the ones in oil and the bacon was thinly sliced 'taste the difference' which I chopped and dry fried to remove the fat. All the other ingredients were as per the recipe including the pine nuts which gave a gorgeous texture.
I first made it about three weeks ago and have today posted it to facebook so others can enjoy it. I am also going to make it again today.... can't wait for dinner time!!!! Scrumptious. xxx
So tasty, and so different!
I had boneless chicken thighs, which were fine for this recipe, and I'd probably use boneless again, as the children (and husband) don't really like dishes that include bones.
I couldn't find "fresh" pesto (and didn't have time to make any!), but had a jar of ready-made in the cupboard. I used two dessert spoons of pesto, which just gave the dish a subtle taste. I think any more would have overpowered the dish.
The dumplings were divine: much lighter than my usual "suet" dumplings.
Served with lots of steamed green vegetables.
Will definitely be making this again.
Thank you to those people who left comments about the ACTUAL recipe and didn't give themselves 5 stars for a recipe of their own making. Leaving ingredients out or substituting other ingredients is not the same recipe as the one written and basically those people are just giving themselves a pat on the back for their own recipe!
I substituted chicken breast for thighs as my husband is anti brown chicken meat. Cut the breasts in two on the diagonal before browning. I reduced the cooking time. I did about 10 mins on the hob and then 40 mins in the oven to ensure the chicken breast was cooked through. Put the dumplings on top with 25 mins to go. Chicken was still succulent so happy with timing. Husband said nom nom nom which is a good result. Omitted Parmesan mainly due to cost in the local shop.

Boiling leaves in water? How much more Paleo can you get?
Anyway, most of you Americans descended from us Brits, so tea must be part of your ancestral diet.
I'm sure my southern Irish ancestors totally resent that last sentence :p
Wow, look at how long ago this was posted. I wasn't even Paleo then!
Answer by jesuisjuba - paleorepublic.com 20476 · Jul 05 '12 at 09:53 PM
Yes. Tea. I drink it hot or cold. Caffeinated and herbal. I combine with seltzer and ice. Make into popsicles and add to ice cream. In cocktails and toddies for cold days - iced on hot. Infuse liquids, add to a marinade. If I'm sick and stuffed up will spoon leaves into a bowl of hot water and steam my sinuses. It's a wonderous cozy delicious thing dry or liquid.
I don't go crazy and guzzle it up - maybe 2 cups a day, some days less - some days more. Mostly herbal and green.

Wiki has a 2012 update for everything you wanted to know about tea but were afraid to ask
From a Harvard paper:
Tea's health benefits are largely due to its high content of flavonoids — plant-derived compounds that are antioxidants. Green tea is the best food source of a group called catechins. In test tubes, catechins are more powerful than vitamins C and E in halting oxidative damage to cells and appear to have other disease-fighting properties. Studies have found an association between consuming green tea and a reduced risk for several cancers, including, skin, breast, lung, colon, esophageal, and bladder.
Additional benefits for regular consumers of green and black teas include a reduced risk for heart disease. The antioxidants in green, black, and oolong teas can help block the oxidation of LDL (bad) cholesterol, increase HDL (good) cholesterol and improve artery function. A Chinese study published recently in the Archives of Internal Medicine showed a 46%-65% reduction in hypertension risk in regular consumers of oolong or green tea, compared to non-consumers of tea.
Drinking a cup of tea a few times a day to absorb antioxidants and other healthful plant compounds. In green-tea drinking cultures, the usual amount is three cups per day. Allow tea to steep for three to five minutes to bring out its catechins. The best way to get the catechins and other flavonoids in tea is to drink it freshly brewed. Decaffeinated, bottled ready-to-drink tea preparations, and instant teas have less of these compounds. Tea can impede the absorption of iron from fruits and vegetables. Adding lemon or milk or drinking tea between meals will counteract this problem.

Tea is definitely included in my diet. Herbals, green and fermented black are my staples. When it's hot out, I make tea jello. I ferment my own kombucha from black and honeybush teas year round. I personally think the flavored teas are repulsive (and I avoid anything that says "flavoring" on the package) but I don't think a drink made from straight up twigs, leaves and/or roots is particularly harmful or non-Paleo as long as it works for you, doesn't trigger allergic or other bad reactions and it makes you happy. Others around here may chime in against the chemically decaffeinated varieties but I've never had a problem with them myself.

I drink tea - lots and often. Nearly always black. It's the best vehicle on earth for consuming heavy cream (short of just drinking it straight). Seems to me that early Man would certainly have consumed tannin-infused water just from daily life - a sip out of a standing pool where leaves had fallen - voila, tea!

I drink tea everyday. I either have a pitcher of mint or orange spice tea (Numi brand organic) in the fridge at home. I drink iced orange pekoe at work. It's my preferred beverage and help me stave off the munchies, which I am still VERY prone to, especially when I am bored or stressed.
Answer by Blossom1 1384 · Jul 05 '12 at 08:40 PM
Tea is included in my diet - I think it's part of the category that isn't necessarily "paleo" in the strictest sense, but has potential health benefits and isn't particularly harmful. I probably drink around 16-24 oz a day, depending on what I've been doing (outside in cold calls for a hot cup, and it's quite nice to sit around on a patio with a pitcher of iced tea when it's hot outside). A thermos will also get me through a long day at the hospital when I don't have a lunch break - adding some grassfed cream keeps me from starving.
I try to switch around between black, white, and green varieties, and will occasionally drink herbal teas. I buy both higher quality unflavored teas and "flavored" black teas, but I only use loose leaf. It doesn't take that much more effort to brew, and I think you get better flavor. Some of my favorite flavored black and white teas for icing involve fruit (white blueberry, tropical black), and I adore teas with hazelnut, vanilla, a couple of dark chocolate chips in the winter with cream. I mostly buy from Adagio (check out their "white blueberry," "almost nutella," and "birthday cake") - they carry some great pricier teas I love, too - a few different grades of jasmine green tea, which are just amazing iced. I like to buy gunpowder green, too, and brew with spearmint for a "Moroccan Mint" blend. I've also purchased from Upton and have been very satisfied with their teas, especially their black teas. I think Harney is good, but a bit overpriced for the quality (their "wedding tea" is a lovely rose-lemon-vanilla white tea blend). I would encourage exploration...I find that sometimes I want flavored tea for a dessert-y feel, and other days I want to explore the nuance of a plain black tea from the Yunnan province.
Note - I believe I've read that the tannins in tea and some other compounds may interfere with absorption of certain nutrients in meals, so you might want to keep the tea drinking around meals rather than with meals. I don't always follow this rule, but then I think that's not a problem if your meals are all high-quality and nutrient-dense.

Answer by Jamie 14 6043 · Jul 06 '12 at 04:36 AM
Too much tea may be carcinogenic, especially to the unborns of pregnant mothers.
Theres a flavanoid called kaempferol which is a proven genotoxic causing leukemia to unborns, when tea is drunk to excess. (This is no causation study, they have done genotoxicity studies, its direct cause and effect). The same flavanoid is also high in brocolli.
A moderate amount of polyphenols (such as flavanoids), is considered health promoting.
Polyphenols do not act as anti-oxidants in vivo however, despite the fact they are referred to often as "anti-oxidants", in vivo studies show no such action. I am not sure when the assumption was made that polyphenols reduce oxiditive stress (perhaps in vitro studies), but in vivo studies do not bear it out.
At minumum polyphenols are paradoxically both cancer preventing and cancer forming.
Hormesis may explain this. This makes sense when you consider 95% of polyphenols are immediately flushed by the liver immediately, like a standard toxin. A regular moderate consumption is like your bodies fire drill, in case of emergency. Or this is my working theory anyway.
The caffiene of course is another issue.
I myself have a cup of black tea every second day or so. I tend to rely more heavily on herbal teas like chamomile (which thankfully are lower in polyphenols).
Heres a random study linking polyphenols to genotoxicity, though back when I was researcing flavanols and flavanoids I found some much better ones....theres quite alot out there from my research but when you search "flavanol"/polyphenol cancer/genotoxic, of course the pro-cancer effects go to the top of google.
Polyphenols are also anti-nutrients, much like oxalates and phytic acid.
Wikipedia takes a more middle road line, basically saying that generally theres no strong proof these "anti-oxidant" substances are anti-oxidant in vivo, or that they mitigate cancer, and they may be harmful in high doses according to some studies, although it claims mostly in vulnerable populations.
It's probably true that excess of a mild genotoxic substance is most likely to effect infants or the elderly, as the leukemia thing only happens in unborns from their mothers drinking too much tea, and the stronger genotoxic effects of ciggerettes arent usually seen until later in life.
But the effect of genotoxins like polyphenols or ciggerettes is a bit nebulous due to the fact our DNA has redundancy and bodily defenses. Its not like any genotoxic substance apart from high doses of super cancer promoter safrole is going to make you sick semi-immediately.
This paper discusses fairly even handedly the potential risks of polyphenols: http://www.ajcn.org/content/81/1/326S.full
Basically: Carcinogenicity/genotoxicity Thyroid toxicity Estrogenic activity of isoflavones Antinutritional effects Interactions with pharmaceuticals
What data there is, suggests that there probably is an upper limit of excess consumption that is harmful, at least when your older, or infant. Certainly it seems like a downright stupid idea to take refined and extracted "anti-oxidants" like reversetrol or grape seed extract.
But then the level of excess consumption of tea that is harmful is probably well above a moderate one or two cups a day, and in a non-pregnant adult, would take many many years to potentially manifest.

Tea is horrible for people with hypothyroidism - it can even CAUSE hypothyroidism!
Tea is the highest fluoride containing food known. Even the smallest amount of fluoride can induce hypothyroidism. Altered thyroid function is associated with fluoride intakes as low as 0.05-0.1 mg fluoride per kilogram body weight per day (mg/kg/day), or 0.03 mg/kg/day with iodine deficiency. Doctors even used to prescribe fluoride for hyperthyroidism!

I love tea! I drink a bit almost every day, usually in the form of kombucha. I also really like oolong for the real tea, and chamomile, hibiscus, and lavender for the herbals.
I think it's definitely Paleo-friendly, so long as you don't go wild in putting refined sugars in it. I don't think there is any set upper limit; just watch your body and don't over-caffeinate yourself. I know I'm a little caffeine sensitive, so if it is past 2pm or so I stick to the herbal stuff, and I generally don't have more than 2 cups/glasses per day of the real stuff.

Founded in 2008 by Chairman & CEO Bjorn Rebney, Bellator MMA is the largest tournament-based mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion in the world. Based in Newport Beach, California and partnered with industry-leader Viacom, Bellator hosts "The Toughest Tournament in Sports" live and free on the home for MMA, Spike TV on Thursday nights.
Bellator includes weight classes from Bantamweight (135 pounds) all the way up to Heavyweight (265 pounds). And, each Bellator tournament in each weight class is conducted over a three month period. Each tournament begins with the quarter final round featuring eight fighters in that respective weight class, moving onto the semi-finals and then the finals. Each Tournament is single elimination and there is a one month break between quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals.
Each season of Bellator hosts a minimum of five (5) weight class tournaments. The winner of each tournament earns the right to fight for the Bellator world title against the current World champion. Without winning a Bellator tournament, a fighter cannot fight for the Bellator world title. Unlike other combat sports organizations that rely on a "matchmaking" system, Bellator is based on a real sports format where winning is the only way to earn a shot at the world title.
In October 2011, Bellator announced that it had formed a large-scale partnership with Viacom, wherein Viacom purchased a majority stake in Bellator. The news prompted front-page coverage in USA Today's sports section, marking the first and to date only time an MMA promotion held the lead sports story in the history of USA Today.
In each calendar year of 2011 and 2012, Bellator produced and promoted 25 live and free events on MTV2 & in commercial-free HD on EPIX on Saturday nights.
In 2013, Bellator began broadcasting all its events on the largest and most successful broadcaster in MMA history, Spike TV. The television alliance also includes a reality show featuring Bellator talent, Bellator 360 highlight shows and other shoulder programing.

"I loved everything about this card except for the font I chose for the back of the card. It was so tiny you could barely read it. I went with the bracket cutout which looks great on this card."
"I can't begin to say how impressed I was with this card & with the fast service & how well they were packaged! The card cost a little more than box retail stores but it was well worth it. They are sturdy & have more of a feel of an actual card than just a photo. The colors were perfect & looked just like they did on my computer. Thank you for a positive experience! I will shop here again!"
"My 2 year old son LOVES horses.... so we had his picture taken on a beautiful horse... .this card layout/design is PERFECT for the look we were envisioning!!!! We use Tiny Prints for all of our holiday and birthday cards!!! Keep up the great work!!!"
"We ordered the scalloped edge and it really made for a beautiful product. I thought the photo quality could have been better, but we ordered the matte finish so could have been that."
"We used our wedding photo for our first holiday card. We love how the white spots around the card resemble snow falling around our picture that was already very ethereal. We were so pleased with the paper quality. I expected to get a thinner card but they were printed on really nice card stock and the image was flawless. We are mailing them out this week and we can't wait to see what our family thinks. I'm sure they will want to know where we ordered them. Thank you."

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
I am a native French speaker who has lived in the US for 5 years. I tutored students for many years when I was still living in France. I really enjoyed it and I am looking forward to helping American students learn French! I believe that learning should be fun so I always use material that is related to my students interests. My goal is to transmit my passion for learning. Speaking several languages has allowed me to meet wonderful people and opened a lot of doors for me so I hope to give you or your children the opportunity to experience the benefits of communicating in another language.

In addition to being a classroom teacher, I am also a grandmother of the most wonderful little boy who has some signs of AS, according to the best experts we can find at highly respected Universities and elsewhere. Lesson 10, as well as other lessons in this course, are right on the mark in picturing AS as it really, really is. My 6 year old grandson shares the AS experience by fixating on drawing and talking about anything that he perceives as robotic over and over and over again because that scares him in a way that no one understands including him. He is very verbal, has an IQ of 150+, but was/is always asking questions like why do other kids WANT to play with me, why can't I write, color, and use a spoon like others in my class. He talks about violent behaviors, not to do them, but as our instructor points out, to somehow lessen his fears of violence. We do not know how he even knows about such things. He is loving, and out going at home. His wonderful kindergarten teacher and school have made a world of difference in his life and by that his family's also. I wanted all of you to know that the lessons presented in this course are about real people and that they also really work. My child will probably never play a team sport, but might discover another solar system with the telescope he intends to build by himself. I just wanted to say thank you. I have learned so much from this class. I can't wait to implement the strategies in my classroom. You made the lessons so easy to understand. As I was reading thru each lesson, I had a several "ah, ah" moments. It has made me look at several of my students differently and think of new ways to help them. If you know of any other classes on Autism, I would love to know about them. Again thank you for a wonderful class. I hope to take another class with you one day. :) Janice
I have to say this course is turning out to be wonderful for me! It has helped me to put words on the things I am seeing in and about this child who has been diagnosed Autistic. I am using many of the strategies and suggestions to help him feel more at ease, less anxious(a personal agenda on his desk, a quiet area in the room where he can go when he feels the need) and more verbal with his classmates. I am going to begin working on a couple Social Stories with him. I just love the information you are provided.
Next year I will be getting two students with Autism as third graders who have meltdowns that come quickly and at times without warning. One bites himself and others, and throws things and screams very loudly during these tantrums. He is non-verbal and very low functioning. The second also has sudden outbursts of uncontrollable screams and tantrums when frustrated with work, and at times becomes frustrated for no apparent reason or warning.(Pre K level). This is why I signed up for this class. I truly appreciate the toolbox of strategies and ideas shared in these lessons and supplementary materials, as-well-as the experiences shared by others in the discussion areas. I realize that there is no magical fix-all button, but I hope I will be able to help these students redirect their emotional energy. I greatly appreciate these lessons. They address exactly what I feel I need to know more about. I know to be looking for anecedents, but I truly needed tools to add to my toolbox for them and me! Thanks again for all your help!
I have taken a lot of online classes. I have also gathered a lot of information on Asperger's to help my son and my students. However, I have never had an online class that was so organized, informative, and geared toward us learning about these special students. We were lucky to have such an amazing online course and professor. The children that will be helped by it are lucky to have you in their little corner of the world. Many thanks!
Thank you Ellen for your wonderful guidance throughout this course. Your passion shines through. Your interactions in the discussion areas were insightful and helpful. I am so glad I took this course. I will be taking some great new ideas back to the classroom when I return to work next week, which will enable me to be a more effective teacher. I completed the final exam and scored 100 %, so your teaching methods were very successful. I took this as a two semester credit hour course. I feel very prepared to successfully write on the topics included in the final assignment. I have taken some very good online courses before, but they did not provide the interaction with an instructor as this one did. I really appreciated that feedback so I knew if I was on the right track. Your expertise was so helpful in each of the discussion areas. I liked the structure of the class.
This is the first time I've taken a class that is entirely online. I'm really enjoying the format and content - much more than I expected! I love the way we are not only learning about learning styles - the content of this class is delivered in a way that covers each learning style. There are lots of visuals, movie clips, graphs, etc.with each lesson. So many method classes I've taken over the years lecture about ways to reach students but the information was always presented in lecture form only. I find myself retaining much more information and thinking beyond what I am reading, thanks to the visuals that are placed in the text.
I thought your course was really good - both informative and practical. I'm recommending it to my district special ed director as a course which would be really useful to any teacher - regular or special education - who wants to develop a good understanding of AS, and strategies to work with students who have AS…I appreciate how responsive to and thoughtful about the questions from the other students you were, and how thoughtful many of the questions and comments by the other students were. I'm glad I took your course.
I thoroughly enjoyed this online experience and hope to take another class under Dr. Ellen Arnold in the future. I found her approach to be personal, professional, effective, and pertinent. I am much better prepared to work with HFA students and very grateful for the concrete example and tried and true strategies provided by Dr. Arnold. She is an excellent instructor!
This was a perfect course for me. Each lesson was simple and easy to understand - I was able to focus on the goals of each lesson and didn't get bogged down with too much information at once. I don't have a lot of experience teaching students with Asperberger's and this was just right for my level of need. The writing was clear and easy to understand. The assignments and discussions helped so much in cementing my understanding. And the best part of all was that my student directly benefited from several of the suggested techniques. Our year is going so well, and I feel he is getting what he needs because of this course. Thank you so much. I have recommended this course to several people and truly hope they will take it.
Ellen It has been my privilege to learn from you. This has definitely been one of the most beneficial classes of my thirty year teaching career. Thank you for so many wonderful strategies and more importantly the wealth of information that is going to strengthen my teaching methods. This has been an enjoyable 12 lessons. I hope you continue so that teachers, students, and parents can experience a positive change in the lives of AS/HFA students.

It's called Honor the Code, and it's calling on high school student athletes to do just that.
A collaborative effort with the Prevention Network and the LaFayette, Marcellus, Skaneateles, and Onondaga Central school districts is educating student athletes to make the right decisions in all facets of life. Each of the four districts are a part of the first year group that will have two student-athlete representatives educating the rest of their fellow athletes. Essentially an agressive extension of current athletic department codes of conduct.
While the Prevention Network is known for its work in drug and alcohol use, that's not the only behavioral issues Honor the Code will attack. Phil Rose, program coordinator at the Prevention Network tells me that any destructive behavior will be addressed and hopefully remedied. This will include the effects that say a night of drinking would do to your athletic performance, and more than that, how much potential it has to hurt the overall profile of the student athlete.
LaFayette Athletic Director Jerry Kelly says the potential problems it will reach even include such things as texting while driving. The program seems destined for success with several other districts waiting and watching to see how the program goes in its first year, but that success could hinge on one aspect.
" It'll be nice to tell all of the other athletes, just like ourselves to not do anything wrong, to follow the code....it's meaningful to come from another athlete, another peer because when you listen to parents you don't always want to listen." said LaFayette volleyball player Cassidy Ubieta
Honor the Code is holding a meeting from 12-2 on Tuesday, in which they will acclimate all the student representatives to their tasks, and strategize plans to spread the word on this great cause.

AMERICAN CHRONICLES about the history of the income tax. Both the Sixteenth Amendment, which granted Congress the right to levy an income tax, and the Federal Reserve will be a hundred years old in 2013. Hoopla is not anticipated. Not especially controversial a century ago, the tax and the bank lie at the core of a now popular account of American history in which 1913 was a disaster, the original "fiscal cliff." This year, the Republican Party platform included a call for the Federal Reserve to be audited, and a provision for the Sixteenth Amendment to be repealed. In the early republic, Congress briefly experimented with taxes on carriages and whiskey, but, before the Civil War, raised revenue almost exclusively through duties on imports. In 1913, the income tax was introduced, not only to undergird the Treasury with a stable source of revenue, but also to answer populist rage at the growing divide between the rich and the poor. In 1913, the Bureau of Internal Revenue printed its first 1040: the form was three pages, the instructions just one. Taxes have got a lot hairier since then. Writer explains the attempts of business interests to fight back against the income tax. Helped by Andrew W. Mellon, the industrialist and philanthropist, among others, the business lobby succeeded in redefining American citizens as "taxpayers," and began arguing that high tax rates were stifling the economy. Chronicles attempts by the conservative lobby to pass the Dresser Amendment, which would have capped the income tax rate at twenty-five per cent; describes the failure of liberals to articulately defend their own tax policy. Mentions a recent report from the Congressional Research Service which argued that lower taxes on the wealthy are correlated with greater income inequality, and not economic growth. The report was withdrawn after Senate Republicans protested it.

Tour Clothing choices?
Having seen some of the Achievable Dream DVD's, it seems like anything goes when it comes to clothing! I'm fairly new to the idea of motorbike travel further than this country, and I'd like to combine protection with comfort in my clothing.
I'm looking at BMW's Trailguard and Rallye 3 suits, as well as Frank Thomas' X Terrain suit. Does anyone have any thoughts on these? Are there other choices that would be better? As a Vegan, they have to be Textile! Thanks in advance . . . . |
I personally wouldn't touch Frank Thomas stuff, none of it has ever kept water out for very long. Just personal experience over the years.
I think the BMW kit is good, but overpriced. I recently bought the Hein Gerick Explorer two-piece suit, with a gortex layer, then rode 2500 to the Alps and back. First night was horrendous rain, and it didn't let a drop in - I was very impressed (and pleased!). I have nothing but praise for the suit, which performed perfectly in temps from about 4 degrees up the top of Stelvio, to 35 in the Grand St Bernard tunnel. Some say HG quality has dropped in recent years, and I can only say the suit I have appears to be top notch so far. |
Can't say much about the Trailguard. Had the Rallye 2 and now the Rallye 3. Available color choices and schemes are a matter of personal taste. But, functionality, weather and crash protection are superb. Also, the removable Goretex/climate-membrane liner allows comfort in a wide range of temperatures.
On really hot days, i.e. 85 deg. F (28 deg. C) and higher, I remove the climate membrane, open all the vents and wear wicking, fast drying T-shirts and riding under-pants. Any rain is welcome and you dry off quickly. For those dratted "all-day-cold-rain-riding", I combine the Rallye 3 with the two piece FIRSTGEAR RAINMAN. I've used the Rallye 2 on a 3 week trip with temperatures ranging from 31-104 deg. F (-1 to + 40 C). It worked great for me and, IMO, well worth the money.
Thomas "Hey, ...I'm just ridin' shotgun" |
There are many who will tell you that BMW Rallye Pro suits are overpriced and garish or that they are for E&C wannabe "clowns"
I've done around 14,500 miles in the last thirteen months in my Rallye Pro2, through all sorts of weather, hot/cold/wet/windy etc and, as far as I'm concerned, it's the best bit of kit I've had. I gave it a good spray with TX Direct waterproofing stuff from Cotswold Outdoor just to be on the safe side. After a recent eleven hour ride from Portpatrick in S/W Scotland to Ullapool in N/W Scotland, through some absolutely sh!t weather, the only bits of me that were wet were my wrists/forearms where the water had got in through the gloves. I think the new R/P3 looks good too. Get one. Ride safe. Last edited by Starbeck; 26 Oct 2010 at 14:12. |
I've just replaced my Hein Gericke Voyager II suit with a BMW Rallye 3. The HG has covered 33k miles in just over 2 years and although it's been warm and dry throughout I'm a bit disappointed with the wear rate for such an expensive item. (Don't get me started on the velcro!)
I'd previously looked at the BMW stuff because let's face it, it's technically very good, but had always discounted it on appearances. (There's a reason why it's known as the twat-suit!) This years Rallye 3 is available in black and small bits of yellow so I didn't really have an excuse any more. First impressions? Armour is much, much better, as is the quality of the construction. Better pockets, removable sleeves (though I'm not sure why this would be a benefit) pocket for camelback, and a removable goretex liner means you can was the suit as a normal garment. Material about the same thickness as the HG Voyager. No thermal liners in the Rallye 3, but works well with heated vest. Time will tell how the Rallye 3 fares, but initial appearances are that depite costing slightly more than the HG Voyager you do seem to get disproportionately more for your money. I hope to have some pictures of both garments up on my blog soon. PM me if you want a well used Voyager II! Mup.
More malformed, irrelevant opinions here. |
Depends where you're going, v hot/humid/freezing/wet etc.
My HG Cruise suit was warm with all the linings but way too hot in the really hot countries and I just didn't wear the jacket which spent most of the time bungee'd on to the back of the bike. In the wet, it absorbed moisture like a sponge despite reproofing and got very cold once wet, dangerously so on the altiplano in Bolivia after getting a soaking which wasn't funny. Combined with a rain-suit, it's ok and stays dry despite the HG salesman insisting I'd never need one. As for protection, don't really know as never really crashed.

Just some generic observations .
There are two approaches to textile jackets ,one where the waterproof layer is attached to the outer shell ,like Aerostich, and another which has a detachable waterproof inner liner ,like the BMW Rallye.The type with the inner liner are usually better in hot climates where you can remove the waterproofing and open up vents . One problem with the inner liner approach is that the jacket and pockets are not waterproof and remain sodden with water .If you are riding in the rain for days on end and happen to be camping and have no way of drying the suit it can be a nuisance .Also riding with a wet outer jacket can draw heat from the body very quickly .The inner liner can also channel water into your gloves if you are not careful. Inner liners on trousers don't make sense to me ,the idea of stopping at the side of the road to take your trews off and then put on an inner liner does not appeal . [BMW Rallye suits are expensive ,if you need to put on a rain suit on top on cold rainy days ,then IMHO you've just wasted a lot of money .] If you are going where it's cold and wet it might be better to go for the waterproofing on the outside of the jacket.You do get some degree of ventilation with these jackets but obviously not to the same extent . Trousers with a bib on the front can be beneficial if your bike does not have a fairing [rainwater can be driven up the gap between jacket and trousers]. There is usually a thermal inner liner as well ,check how this feels ,some are awkward and make you feel like a Michelin man .The better ones can be worn as a casual jacket .Some people buy the jacket without this and substitute a pullover or fleece.Haviing a thermal layer AND a waterproof layer to deal with can be a pain in the arse. Electric jacket liner and gloves are a huge bonus as well .Don't underestimate how beneficial these can be .Warm'n'Safe is an excellent brand and you get a discount for being a member of this site .Highly recommended. My BMW Santiago jacket and trousers [which I do not recommend] have leather on the cuffs,collar and inner knees .You might want to check for that on others. I can thoroughly recommend the Belstaff/BMG Discovery jacket [waterproof outer] .I've had mine for a couple of years and it's 100% waterproof and I've ridden in a lot of rain .BMG [British Motorcycle Gear ]are based in USA but export stuff as well .

I'm torn about waterproof outsides vs waterproof liners. I've had both. The waterproof liner is annoying because it takes time to put in (sometimes the storm sneaks up on you and it takes about 3 minutes to put in the RP2 Liners once you've dug them out of your panniers) and after a good soaking you leave a puddle when you go inside. Plus the outside gets heavier. On the other hand, you get better ventilation on the hot days in suits with rain liners, and I hear you can maintain the waterproof quality of your gear for longer with liners because they're easier to keep clean. Use Nikwax when you wash anything waterproof. Nikwax | Waterproofing, Cleaning and Insect Protection products The nice thing about waterproof shells is that when it starts to rain all you have to do is zip up your vents. On cooler days I'd just have my front vents open, and when the rain came i'd just zip up while riding and laugh about how awesome and easy it was. "Rain? Who cares?!" But, the best gear generally doesn't have waterpoof shells. I bought the Rallye Pro 2 because the 3 had just come out and they were trying to clear inventory cheap. I don't regret the decision, but if I were buying a new suit with no discounts I'd go for the Rev'It Defender (if i had plenty of cash) or Sand (if i was on a budget) and add in a back protector for both. Also Rev'It's liners go in faster than the RP2 liners. With that said, the ventilation and armor in the RP2 are excellent. As for actual clothing, check out ExOfficio's underwear. Very comfortable and very fast drying. Could easily wash it at night and have clean undies in the morning. I wasn't sold on the idea of spending $25 on a pair of underwear until my girlfriend got some and wouldn't stop commenting about how awesome they were for riding. Now I've got two pairs and will probably grab two more before the next trip. Not sure if Vegans are cool with wool or not but I've gone with Smartwool t-shirts. Expensive, but they dry quickly and don't stink. I wear wool "liner socks" (as thin as a mens dress sock) in the heat and Smartwool snowboarding socks in the cold (again with the not stinking). I've just gotten some Smartwool thermal leggings but it hasn't gotten cold enough in new england for me to try them out yet. |
I've got the BMW SUMMER 2 PANTS. They zip off at the knee, great for when you stop off places. I'm on the road at the moment and wear them everyday, they are great.
I have a Hein Gericke TRG gore-tex jacket. Also excellent Alt-Berg boots - FANTASTIC
I'd be strongly considering the new Klim Traverse suit if I was in the market. Might not work for you as I think they have leather in the knee...
Otherwise, I'd be inclined to look at a 2pc Roadcrafter or the BMW Rally. Two of the guys I ride with, one has the roadcrafter the other a rallye2, and they both wear it regardless of weather, roads, etc and seem pretty comfortable and happy with it. just curious, as a vegan what do you do about boots?

Thanks to all for the help so far - excellent advice!
Boots are fine - I buy Sidi boots, most of which are made of Lorica (man made). My major problem is Gloves! I CANNOT find decent, protective gloves (knuckle protectors, etc) that AREN'T made of leather; I have to put up with cheap, no-protection textile ones! They're all warm and dry, but I wouldn't want to rely on them if I came off . . . . |
I've got a pair of Riders Goretex gloves with Hard Knucle Protection. They are warm and dry in the winter (£80 mind)
I also can recomend Hein Gerikes Gortex gear (espicialliy if you get there in the sale) for all year riding or Revit OFF track Jacket and Dakar trousers. The Only problem with the revit stuff is the Water proof is a zip in liner which can catch you out in a flash down pour in the summer. |
Thank you to everyone for their input, it's been a great help.
I've completely changed my original opinion in light of the comments made, and am going to buy a Rev'it jacket / trousers combo., probably either the Cayane Pro or Sand. I'm still non the wiser with non-leather gloves (with protection), if anyone has any suggestions . . . . |
