Kristy Kowal
Kristy Kowal,
a medalist at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, might
have moved on in life, but anyone who met this young
woman will never forget her. She talks about what
swimming brought her, and where she is now, in this
week's 20 Question Tuesday with special
correspondent Bob Schaller.
What are you up to?
Kristy: I just finished my second year of teaching
third grade back home in Reading, Pa., at Whitfield
Elementary School in the Wilson School District. I
actually am teaching in the same elementary school I
went to sixth grade in.
How did you get into teaching?
Kristy: My mother is a teacher, and I thought it was
the coolest job in the world to get to hang out with
kids all day long. She teaches 6th-8th
grade, but I prefer to stick with younger kids.
3 Can you please tell us about the town you
are in?
Kristy: I am living in Wyomissing, Pa., which is a
suburb of Reading. It's where I was born and raised,
and I love being back home. Most of my family is within
a 10-minute drive of my house. It's funny, everywhere I
go, I run into someone who knows one of my family
members. My grandmother was the youngest of 10. It's the
Six Degrees of Separation. Reading itself has about
75,000 people living in it, but definitely can have a
small town feel to it.
4 What's teaching like?
Kristy: I love teaching. My favorite thing in the
world is when a student finally gets something that you
are trying to teach them, and it's like you can see a
light go on in their eyes. I think I have the best job
in the world. The greatest feeling is at the end of the
day, knowing you have taught a child something totally
and completely new and they will remember it
(hopefully!) for the rest of their lives. The days are
long, and a teacher never is finished with their job
when the kids walk out of the classroom. There have been
many nights where I am still grading students' work
until bedtime. If you aren't completely exhausted at
the end of a school day, it wasn't a good day.
Do you still swim and how much?
Kristy: I haven't swum in about two years. However, I
did get back in the water this past week at a Total
Performance Camp I did at Kenyon College. Roque Santos
and I were doing demonstrations, and it felt really good
to get back in the water. It was strange, but I felt
like I hadn't ever stopped swimming. BJ Bedford just
sent me some Nike suits, so my goal this summer is to
swim at least three mornings a week.
6 What else do you do for workouts?
Kristy: I took a long time off of working out. But
now, I like to go to spinning classes. I have been
running a bit, and I just started taking classes at my
gym called Down Under. The instructor is from Australia,
and it is THE hardest workout on dry land I have ever
done in my life. It's a combination of cardio and
plyometrics. It's hard, but I love it. I am a person
who needs a friend to go to the gym with. I get bored
trying to work out by myself, but I suppose that comes
from years of swimming up and down a black line. Plus, I
am on my feet all day long. I wore a pedometer one day
to class, and let's just say I definitely got my 10,000
steps a day in.
7 How much and with whom do you stay in touch
with from the swimming days?
Kristy: I try to keep in touch with as many of my
teammates as possible, and it is much easier to do
during the summer. Last summer, I traveled around so
much, I was only in town for 12 days before school
started up again. I just got back from visiting Amanda
Schneider (Adkins), who was my teammate and training
partner in Georgia and Sydney. I am heading up to
Boston this weekend for Samantha Arsenault's wedding, so
that should be a big swimming reunion. I just got a
phone call from Maritza Correia yesterday, and I talk to
Stefanie Williams, who is a fellow PA native, on the
phone every day. The great thing about my friends is,
even if you don't talk to them for weeks, or months, we
pick right back up where we left off.
8 What's the biggest swim memory that stands
out that you have?
Kristy: It'd be easy to say winning a silver medal in
Sydney is my biggest memory, but I am going to have to
go with the 200 breast at Trials in 2000. Two days
earlier, I had been touched out of a spot on the team by
.01 of a second in the 100. Four years earlier I had
missed the team in Atlanta by .17 of a second (and
landed the cover of Swimming World with a picture of me
crying). Finally making the team in 2000 in the 200
breast, that race, in 2 minutes and 24 seconds, made up
for every disappointment I had ever had in my swimming
career. The silver at the Olympics was the icing on the
9 What did swimming teach you about yourself?
Kristy: Swimming taught me how strong of a person I
am. I fully believe how you react to
situations determines what type of person you are.
Disappointment can either make you stronger or it can
knock you down. Someone once called me "The Poster Child
for Disappointment at Trials." Getting third place at
Trials, in three separate Trials, (1996, 2000 and 2004)
that can take a toll on you and make you doubt
yourself. I think my experiences have made me stronger,
and I have become a better person through this sport.
I've learned how to bounce back in the face of
10 When do we expect a bunch of little Kristys
running around? You are, after all, great with kids!
Kristy: (laughs) Well, I am not sure when you can
expect any little Kristys, but, I feel like with my
students, I have 24 kids every year, and that is a
huge family. Plus I am having fun being Aunt Kristy
with all of my friends' little ones.
11 What's the 10-year plan? Will you stay in
education, any plans for administration or things like
Kristy: That's a tough question. I love teaching, so I
don't think I would ever opt to be an administrator. I
like being involved directly with students, but maybe in
10 years I'll be coaching in addition to teaching. I'll
have to wait and see.
12 How much do you follow the sport now?
Kristy: I still have friends and former teammates
swimming, so I try and follow it as much as possible. I
watch the meets when they are on TV, and I went to NCAAs
when they are in Georgia. I am planning on coming out
to Trials next summer. I still get butterflies in my
stomach when the 200 breast is up.
13 Who is one male and one female swimmer you
are following heading into the 2008 Games?
Kristy: I only get to pick one?! Okay, male, I am
going with Michael Phelps. The first time I met him, he
was a little brother of one of my Pan Pac teammates back
in 1995. Now look at him! He is such a great ambassador
for the sport. He's done so much to bring swimming into
homes across the world. I am fully amazed with how well
he handles the success he has had. Female, this is
tough to pick just one. I am going with Teresa
Crippen. I have had the opportunity to train with her,
and I went to Germantown twice this year to help her
with her breaststroke. She is one to watch in the
future. She's tough, hardworking, talented, the full
package. She's going to be around for a long time.
14 What do you think of Dara Torres' comeback?
Kristy: I think it's awesome. She's going to make the
team, and I hope I can be there to see it happen.
There's not a single doubt in my mind that she'll make
the team. If anyone can make a comeback like this, it's
15 How big is swimming where you are now?
Kristy: In Pennsylvania, high school swimming is very
big. And this state seems to have a great tradition of
producing breaststrokers, Jeremy Linn, Brendan Hansen,
Kristen Woodring, Anita Nall, Kyle Salyards. And we
were all within a two-hour radius of each other.
16 Do the kids you teach know about your
amazing swim career? Do you still get recognized?
Kristy: I do still get recognized around here
sometimes. Funny you mention it. I got recognized
tonight when I went food shopping. My students I teach
now were 1 during the Sydney Games, which makes me feel
old. But, yes, they do know about my career. I use
swimming in my lessons, like when we were learning about
tenths and hundredths, the kids thought it was like
saying one-one hundred. So I showed them races from
Trials. The looks on their faces was priceless. I think
the only regret they have in having me as a teacher is
they can't use the old, "I had to go to practice so I
didn't get to do my homework." That one does NOT fly in
my classroom. The kids have it memorized by the end of
the year. "Miss Kowal swam five hours a day and still
got her homework finished."
17 How much do you miss UGA and do you stay in
touch with Jack Bauerle?
Kristy: I miss Georgia so much. It was home for so
long and such a fantastic town. I wish I could have
stayed there forever. That town will always hold a very
special place in my heart. And Jack, I don't even know
where to begin. He was like a second father to me, still
is. I try to stay in touch with him as much as possible
but he is incredibly busy. I did get a phone call from
him this year at 6:30 a.m., asking me if I thought I'd
missed morning practice when the phone rang.
18 Have you been able to look back at your
career and see how much you've accomplished?
Kristy: It's strange. I was watching a video of myself
at a camp this week, and for the first time it hit me. I
was like, wow, that was me, I did all of that. Sometimes
it's hard to believe what I have accomplished. I am a
very lucky person. In my life, I have reached every
single goal I have ever set for myself, and for that I
am grateful.
Do you see yourself staying in Pennsylvania forever, or
might there be another move?
Kristy: For now, I am staying in Pennsylvania. I am a
homeowner now. That changes everything. But who knows
what the future holds. I am extremely close to my
friends and family and love being so close to them. Once
I came back from Georgia, I knew that moving away again
would be incredibly difficult.
What else is going on personally that you can share with
us – a new hobby or club?
Kristy: Let's go with a new hobby. This year, I
decided to try something new. I decided to try a land
sport and take after my younger brother, who was a NCAA
All-American volleyball player, and I played on a
competitive volleyball team. He even came to one of my
games but he made me really nervous. I wanted him
to sub in for me. His advice to me was jump higher and
hit harder. That's like telling someone to jump in the
pool and move their arms and legs. Luckily, my teammates
were great in teaching me how to play and they were
very patient. I had the best time. I've had some
major changes in my life the last two years, and I have
been trying to make myself try things that are new and
outside my comfort level. This was definitely one of
those times.

Take Control of iTunes and Mix Things Up With Smart Playlists
Fortunately, ID3 tags (the metadata that contains information like artist, bit rate, genre and year) offer a standard list of variables, and most of your purchases, CD rips and downloads should come with this information fleshed out. Your metadata should be well-kept. For editing on the fly, select the songs you want, and hit Apple + i (or CTRL + i for PCs) to fill in the data by hand. Make sure the year, genre and artist name are correct, as iTunes can be tricky, case-sensitive and punctuation-fickle. 'Beyonce,' 'Beyoncé' and 'beyonce' all appear differently.
Building Your First Smart Playlist
Do we still use regular playlists? Of course! Mixtapes and party mixes still fill most of our iTunes sidebar. Smart playlists are just filters that let us quickly browse our collections while mixing things up, and they save us from picking through decades of rock just to find our classical or ambient collections. You could set those up as "dumb" playlists, but you'll be stuck micro-managing lists every time you add a new track or album. In an age where music libraries are getting bigger and bigger, smart playlists provide a fun way to rediscover songs and albums that we'd completely forgotten.

I am a graduate of Montclair State University with a Bachelors degree in music education and a minor in sociology. I have also received an Associate's degree in music from Brookdale Community College and have been playing the French Horn since I was 10-years-old and the piano since I was 14-years-old. I have also played a variety of other instruments including the trumpet, trombone, flute and clarinet.
I have performed with the NJ Conservatory in Beethoven's 3rd Symphony and 9th Symphony. I have also conducted intermediate, concert and beginner bands and have given both group instrumental lessons and one-on-one private lessons. These group and individual lessons include clarinet, French Horn, trumpet, flute, trombone, saxophone, violin and percussion. I am most diverse in brass instruments and piano. I have also worked with students with special needs and students who do not have English as their first language. Currently, I am teaching general music to students in from grade kindergarten to fifth.
While still in high school, I performed at Carnegie Hall with the New Jersey Youth Orchestra, the New Jersey all shore band, the pit band for the high school musical productions, and received the Band Director's award in my senior year of high school. I have also performed in several other orchestras, bands and chamber groups at all musical levels including professional. I have accompanied choirs on piano in middle school and high school level.
I was on the Dean's list at Montclair State University for six semesters and all four semesters at Brookdale Community College and received the NJ STARS scholarship and graduated Montclair State University and Brookdale Community College with honors.
*** Lesson Details ***
I believe it is very important that students know music theory along with performance knowledge. During lessons, I like to spend time going over music theory with the student, depending on what their instrument and age level is. This includes learning scales (major and minor), chords, reading music and anything the student shows an interest in. It is very important that students learn the basics of music to perform an instrument. I also incorporate learning pieces/songs in the lessons. The songs and pieces that I incorporate in the lessons are songs that are at the student's performance level and is something they are interested in learning. I believe it is important that students learn the fundamentals of music and have fun at the same time.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Room with piano seating for parents
*** Travel Equipment ***
I can provide some music books or sheet music along with some CDs and a music stand. I would like for students to provide instruments and possibly some music books or any music they may want to learn.
*** Specialties ***
Brass, band, piano
* Principal Horn - Pennsylvania Ballet (Philadelphia)
* Principal Horn - Chamber Orchestra of New York
* Recordings for NASCAR, Sony Classical, and Naxos Records
* Active Clinician, Chamber Musician, Orchestral Musician, and Soloist
* Performances with Dave Brubeck, Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBelle, John Legend, Gloria Estefan, Carlos Santana, Mannheim Steamroller, Patti Lupone, Leann Rhimes, Josh Groban...
I have a Bachelor Degree in Horn Performance, with outside studies in Piano and Composition from Indiana University. I have been performing professionally for 20 years, and privately teaching and coaching for 12 years. Experience includes:
* Faculty Westminster Choir College - 2003-2006
* Faculty Summertrios festival - 2002-Present
* Coach and clinician at Rutgers University, University of Central Arkansas, Kutztown University, Eastern Michigan University
My approach to teaching is based largely on students' goals. While I do work with a variety of ages/levels, step 1 is always ensuring a proper foundation of the basics. Additionally, I am well versed in Nutrition, Fitness, and establishing a healthy mindset. Integrating this with a focus on body awareness and problem solving aids students in developing a highly efficient and analytical strategy for horn, sports, academics, and life in general.
*** Lesson Details ***
The first 3 lessons with any student is a trial period. By the end of the third lesson, I encourage the student to assess whether or not they have learned something, and whether or not they feel comfortable with me as their teacher. During this trial period, I will be assessing how motivated the student is to reach his or her goals on the instrument, how attentive and responsive they are during lessons, and how well they prepare the work they have been assigned each week. Once fully accepted into the studio, the following expectations are in place:
- Students should arrive at the lesson on time, warmed up (when possible), and ready to play.
- Students will be responsible for purchasing their music and bringing it to the lesson.
- Students are expected to practice no less than 3 days per week. This is the bare minimum. Specific amount of time per practice session may vary anywhere between 15 minutes and 3 hours, depending on level, material, and specific goals.
- I am to be made aware of any life or health issues that may interfere or affect the performance of the student.
- In addition to their instrument and all appropriate music, students should bring the following with them to each lesson:
pencil, metronome (or smartphone metronome app), a notebook of manuscript paper (their lesson book), a stand mirror (only if specifically requested)

Thomas J. W. is an active music teacher, composer, adjudicator, and clinician in the greater Philadelphia area. He has over fifteen years experience as a concert band director, marching band director, jazz improvisation instructor, choral director, private instructor, and marching drill writer. His directing career has included small rural band programs, small metro programs, large high-achieving suburban programs, and non-profit youth bands. In addition to his band compositions, he also has over forty unpublished vocal arrangements to his credit, most written for use with collegiate men's a cappella groups.
Thomas has a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Education from The Pennsylvania State University. He holds a teaching certificate in the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey and has taught at the secondary level in both states. In addition to both instrumental and choral ensembles at Penn State, Thomas was a student leader in the Penn State Blue Band and a member of the brass section of the Cadets of Bergen County Drum and Bugle Corps in 1993 and 1994. He served as an Associate Director of the Warren Junior Military Band of Youngstown, Ohio from 1995 to 2005.

He currently is a music teacher at the Center for Performing and Fine Arts of the PA Leadership Charter School in West Chester, PA and resides in Downingtown, PA with his wife and two sons.
Thomas will happily work with students on the autism spectrum or students with ADD.
*** Lesson Details ***
My lessons are tailored to the needs and interests of each student. If a student is involved in school music ensembles, we will work with their lesson books from school in addition to material outside of the books, including SmartMusic, Noteflight, and teacher-created materials. We will focus on building proper tone production and individual technique - something that often is difficult to learn in a large ensemble setting.
I am capable of starting a beginner student on any band instrument including percussion, any classical string instrument (violin, viola, cello, string bass), and piano. I can begin a student on drum set and work with them through their first method book, but I would then recommend they find a specialized drum set teacher after a period of six to twelve months.
For advanced students, I work from selected conservatory etude books on developing advanced skills and can work with students on audition pieces for honors bands/orchestras or college auditions.
My lessons are a half-hour once a week, with the option of working for 45 minutes or 60 minutes.
*** Specialties ***

Caldwell Man Pleads Guilty for Failing to Register as Sex Offender
BOISE – Joshua James Stueckle, 29, of Caldwell, Idaho, pleaded guilty today in United States District Court in Boise for failing to register as a sex offender, U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson announced.
According to the plea agreement, Stueckle is required to register as a sex offender due to a prior conviction for sexual abuse in the first degree, in Deschutes County, Oregon. Court records show that Stueckle last registered on January 12, 2011, in Bend, Oregon. According to the plea agreement, a 16-year-old girl living in Caldwell, Idaho, told investigators that she met Stueckle online, and on July 5, 2011, he came from out of state to see her. According to the girl's mother, Stueckle began living with her daughter on July 5 at their home, but later moved into an apartment on the property. Stueckle signed a lease on July 27, but moved out on October 5, 2011. On October 11, a Caldwell Police detective investigating an alleged sex crime involving Stueckle, located him at the Haunted World in Canyon County, Idaho. Stueckle told the detective that he was homeless and had been staying in a variety of residences and a local park. A check with the Idaho State Police Bureau of Criminal Identification found no record of Stueckle registering as a sex offender. According to the plea agreement, Stueckle's registration status in Oregon was listed as non-compliant, because he failed to update his address and notify authorities that he had moved out of state. Stueckle is currently serving a sentence at a Idaho Department of Correction facility.
The charge is punishable by up to ten years in prison, a maximum fine of $250,000, and not less than five years of supervised release.
Sentencing is set for August 30, 2012, before Chief U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill at the federal courthouse in Boise.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Marshals Service.
The Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA), which was passed by Congress in 2006, requires sex offenders to register and keep their registration current in each jurisdiction where they reside, are employed or are students. Violations of SORNA can be prosecuted in federal court.
Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) is a collaborative effort by federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, and communities to prevent and deter gun violence.

Aims and objectives (what were you trying to do?)
A concern with many presentations at conferences (and lectures) is that they tend to be very didactic. Information flows from the presenter but there is little effective feedback from the audience during the session. If feedback opportunities to exist then these tends to be a few people who are comfortable with asking questions during the session. Also a problem in many situations is when to do ask from audience input it is very unstructured so this makes it very difficult for the person presenting to be able to process this in a meaningful way.
My intention was to use a combination of simple technologies to encourage audience participation and ensure that the feedback loop was in a place and effective.
What actually took place (describe what you did)?
As mentioned I used a number of technologies. In many cases I used an audience response system. This was used to gather information about the audience as well as ask specific questions. I used the TurningPoint Audience Response System which allowed me to include questions (and published the results) within my existing powerpoint slides. This was very useful at gathering objective data where I had structured the responses. However, on some occasions there is the need to ask more open questions. In this situation then the audience response system could not be used. On these occasions I encouraged students to text the responses. I use the Edutxt SMS Service with an incoming number. I put the number of my slide and asked the question. I also told students to use a keyword in their responses which was the question identifier. This menat when I logged into the web interface to get the replies I could quickly filter for just those which addressed the question asked. I then cut and paste the responses into the powerpoint slide to present to the audience.
The third approach was to use the SMS route but phrase the question to encourage people to give a lits of one word answers. I then filtered, and cut and paste the responses into a word cloud generator (www.tagcrowd.com) which gae a visual display of the responses.
What was the role of the technology (what did the technology add?)?
The technology enabled this activity to work effectively and ensured a high level of participation. I could have used simpleir technologies (such as colour cards) but this is much more difficult to quantify during the session, and suffers from problems with audience herding. Therefore, alothough there existed established approaches they would not have been as effective.
Were the objectives met?
I'd argue that the objectives were met. The technology was deployed to increase the degree of audience involvement in one of my presentations. There was a high level of responses using the Audience Response System that continued throughout the lecture. Audience involvement with the texting was significantly lower (less than 50% participated). However, one of my objectives was to trial its use. Therefore, I gained a significant insight into its potential.
How did the students find it?
I did get some feedback afterwards, generally, people found the approach very engaging and they thought that they benefited from the experience. However, due to the nature of a one-off presentation at a conference this has not been followed up. It would be very interesting to see how students found it after a number of lectures.
Were there any unexpected outcomes?
I'm not sure it was unexpected, however, I was surprised at how easy it was to use the technology in the session.
What tips do you have for others?
- remember when designing your session to give yourself time to be able to move the texts into the word cloud software or into the powerpoint. For instance, it might take a few minutes to cut and past, remove unwanted text and then paste into a word cloud generator. You'll want the audience to be doing something, not simply watching you.
- a really obvious point is you need to actually feedback on the results. It is really important that people are motivated to participate. If the response rate starts to decline then the activity becomes less effective. Therefore, to maintain engagement you have to use the SMS approach selectively and spend time discussing the results and contextualising within the lecture.

Hagerstown Suns apply to relocate to Fredericksburg
COMPLETE COVERAGE: View all related stories and images on the Fredericksburg baseball proposal
The Hagerstown Suns have formally applied to relocate to Fredericksburg in time for the start of the 2015 Minor League Baseball season.
The Suns, a Class A affiliate of the Washington Nationals, submitted their relocation application Tuesday to Minor League Baseball, the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues and South Atlantic League officials.
Baseball officials will formally review the application, said Keith Dilgard, president of the Diamond Nation company that is partnering with the Suns on the proposed complex. He said baseball officials have long been aware of the Suns' potential move to Fredericksburg and are supportive.
The baseball complex is proposed on about 30 acres where Kalahari Resorts once planned to build a waterpark hotel at Celebrate Virginia South. It's directly south of the U.S. National Slavery Museum land and north of the Fredericksburg Expo & Conference Center. It includes Interstate 95 frontage just north of the Virginia Welcome Center.
The baseball partners had once been focused on obtaining the 38-acre slavery museum parcel, but shifted their focus to the Kalahari site after negotiations stalled for the slavery museum land.
An affiliate of the Silver Cos. that owns the Kalahari site agreed to sell the land to the baseball partners for $1, though the Suns and Diamond Nation will have to cover the costs of the Community Development Authority bond assessments that convey with the land.
The city-owned parking lot for the complex at the Kalahari site would be off Gordon W. Shelton Boulevard across from the Seasons at Celebrate Virginia apartments and the current site of the Celebrate Virginia Live concert series. That would serve as the main entrance.
Plans call for a 4,750-seat stadium for the Suns near the parking area. Diamond Nation would also build six fields for amateur baseball and softball camps and tournaments. A roughly 20,000-square-foot indoor baseball training complex would also be built at the site.
An area on the site that once served as a Civil War camp would be left undeveloped.
Dilgard said the baseball investors are now working on engineering and design, and at some point soon they will accept bids from potential general contractors. He said a lot of contractors have expressed interest.
The stadium complex is expected to cost about $29 million to develop. It will be privately financed by the Suns, Diamond Nation and local investor Ron Rosner. An array of city tax incentives that could be worth about $1.3 million a year for 10 years will help cover the debt service, but it will be the team's responsibility to perform as expected to qualify for those tax reimbursements.
The city of Fredericksburg will pay for land and development costs of the 1,800-space parking lot adjacent to the baseball complex. That's expected to cost about $7 million.
Fredericksburg City Manager Bev Cameron said the city will finalize the purchase of the land for the parking lot as well as other necessary aspects of the deal after the Suns and Diamond Nation get a little farther down the road on the development process.

About bruce cecil
I am from the UK, married to Anna, with two young children.
We travel to the property at least twice a year and fall in love a little bit more each time.
bruce cecil purchased this villa in 2008
Why bruce cecil chose Grand Bahama Island
We rented this property in 2008 and thought it was the perfect place for a family holiday. We then found it was for sale and deciced to buy it! We love the combination of luxury accomodation and a relaxed pace of life. It feels secluded but safe and is not far from many, varied activities and fun places to visit when we want to.
What makes this villa unique
We have a list of people who want to buy the place because of it's fantastic location - the property is in a small gated development and has the best position - right on the beach. We love that we can sit on the deck and sip cool drinks and watch our kids playing on the beach, just steps away. When you walk into the property the first time the view of the turquoise ocean through the wall to ceiling glazing in the lounge will take your breath away.
If you can tear yourself away then there are plenty of things to do on the island, including scuba diving, snorkelling, swimming with dolphins, fishing, dining at one of the many restaurants and bars in Lucaya, wandering through the Straw Market, playing golf.
A 'must do' is to go to the Fish Fry at nearby Taino Beach on a Wednesday evening, where you can let your hair down, dance with the locals, if you feel the rythm, and enjoy freshly cooked fish, rice'n'peas, while you watch the sun go down.
Guestbook comments from the owner
My husband and I had a wonderful, restful time at "Paradise". It was simple the best vacation we have ever had. Andrew was great and we got a chance to catch our breath from a very busy year in ministry in Atlanta.

The publicly traded firm thus becomes the latest government-backed energy company to file for Chapter 11 amid strong competition and soft demand.
Battery maker A123 Systems will need to replace batteries to the Fisker Karma and other vehicles following the discovery of a defect at its Livonia, Mich., battery plant.
One e-commerce site allegedly accounts for 2.3 million reservations alone, according to Chinese media.
The reservations are reportedly spread across China's three major mobile carriers and various retailers, with the 64GB iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus models proving the most popular.
The new iPhone is closer to getting the thumb's up for sales to start in China, according to a government regulator interviewed by Chinese Internet portal Tencent.
With no arrival date for Apple's latest iPhone, China's largest carrier will focus more on cheaper, unsubsidized phones.
Late-to-the-EV-party Fisker Automotive may be dragging down suppliers with its tardiness. A123 Systems lowered its 2011 revenue forecast due to reduced orders, and it's pointing a finger squarely at the Danish car maker.
Lithium ion battery maker A123 Systems will have grid storage system coupled with wind turbine installed for tests in China.
Chinese auto parts supplier Wanxiang plans to offer repurposed Fisker Karma's with V-8 engines capable of bringing the car to 200 mph.
Power generation company AES to install 20 megawatts worth of batteries for "spinning reserve" in Chile, one of the largest battery projects to ensure grid reliability.

Very comfy
June 22, 2014
Excellent sale item.
March 26, 2014
These shoose are very light and comfortable. great choice, will buy soon.
March 15, 2014
I wanted a comfortable light shoe for walks on easy terrain and shorter bike rides, for me this shoe is spot on for the job .
March 13, 2014
I don't suppose this is possible but it would be good to have a wider fitting for shoe sizes. i have indicated true to size below as the length is right but it is a bit tight so a wider option of the same size would be an improvement.

When Smashing Pumpkins released their beloved-in-retrospect fourth album, Adore, back in 1998, frontman Billy Corgan couldn't resist talking a lot about a great song he left off the album called "Let Me Give the World to You." Perhaps to preserve the nocturnal feel of the classic 4AD indebted Adore, the song wasn't included on the album—the title alone promised a bombastic rock single in the vein of songs like "Tonight, Tonight." But we got another version of the song later, on the digital-only Machina II, albeit in a different version that sounded quickly recorded in the best way, with gauzy, Cocteau Twins-inspired guitars and jangly pop feel.
Now Corgan has released the original recording, produced by none other than hip-hop producer extraordinaire Rick Rubin. So it's that over-the-top "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" thing, right? The song is closer in feel to "1979," with muted new-wave guitars and a level of restraint not typically seen with this band, yet its Beatles-inspired arrangement is, of course, heartfelt and grabbing. Though Adore is lovably imperfect as is, I can't help but feel this recording would've slotted in nicely near the end of the album and perhaps provided a crucial breakthrough third single that could've changed the troubled history of the band for the better. Sigh.

Looks like Atlanta is down one Housewife: Sheree Whitfield says she's leaving the popular Bravo show because she's tired of all the drama.
"After four solid seasons of helping Bravo build the show into its most successful Housewives franchise, I have decided to leave," the Real Housewives of Atlanta castmember tells Wetpaint Entertainment. "The direction the show is going in is no longer a fit for my lifestyle. I'm tired of the fighting and the cattiness."
Continues the reality star: "I want to be part of something that empowers and inspires women to not only be healthy, but to treat themselves with respect. I wish the rest of the women the best of luck."
Whitfield, an original member of the cast, was a vocal combatant on the show, often getting into loud altercations with castmates such as NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak, whose wig she pulled in a dramatic season 2 fight. And in one memorable season 2 scene, she almost came to blows during a heated confrontation with a party planner.
During season 4 of the show, which recently wrapped, she was locked in a battle for child support with her ex-husband, former NFL player Bob Whitfield.
On Wednesday afternoon, Bravo confirmed the news of her departure, saying in a statement, "We have enjoyed working with Sheree as part of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. We wish her all the best in the future."

ANOTHER poor start with the bat left The Unlimited Titans in danger of falling to a heavy defeat against the bizhub Highveld Lions in a low-scoring Sunfoil Series affair at the Bidvest Wanderers Stadium.
Another 10 wickets fell on day two of the game to go with the 14 that tumbled on day one, and at the end of it the Titans found themselves on 35 for four, trailing by 30 runs with just six second-innings wickets in hand.
The Lions returned to the middle on Friday on 109 for four in response to the Titans' 147, and took a cautious approach as Neil McKenzie added just 18 runs to his overnight 30 over the course of 30 overs.
Devon Conway was the only wicket to fall in the first session as the Lions moved to 173 for five at lunch, with Brett Pelser's 35 a handy contribution, but their progress was stunted by a rain storm during the interval which saw 55 minutes lost.
When the players returned to the middle, McKenzie edged the second ball behind to spark a major collapse in which the last five wickets fell for 39 runs.
A total of 212 gave the Lions a first-innings lead of 65, and it didn't take them long to make inroads into the Titans order in the second dig.
First Heino Kuhn was run out, and then Cobus Pienaar and Francois le Clus were dismissed by Lonwabo Tsotsobe and Cliffe Deacon respectively.
When Deacon trapped Henry Davids lbw for a duck the Titans were in real trouble at 35 for four, but bad light gave them a stay of execution.

At the close of European trade, the EURO STOXX 50 advanced 0.86%, France's CAC 40 rose 0.64%, while Germany's DAX 30 climbed 0.84%.
Market sentiment found support after the Financial Times reported earlier that European Union authorities are working behind the scenes to pave the way for a new Spanish rescue program and unlimited bond buying by the European Central Bank, by helping Madrid craft an economic reform program that will be unveiled next week.
Talks between the Spanish government and the European Commission were said to be focusing on measures that would be demanded by international lenders as part of a new rescue program, ensuring they are in place before a bailout is formally requested.
Financial stocks pushed higher following the news, as shares in German lenders Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank rose 1.11% and 0.39%, while France's BNP Paribas and Societe Generale climbed 0.93% and 0.55% respectively.
Peripheral lenders contributed to gains, with Italian banks Intesa Sanpaolo and Unicredit surging 2.04% and 1.40%, while Spain's Banco Santander and BBVA advanced 1.06% and 1.17%.
Elsewhere, insururers also remained sharply higher. Italian group Assicurazioni Generali jumped 1.36%, while France-based Axa rallied 1.54% and Germany's Allianz gained 1.66%.
In London, FTSE 100 eased 0.07%, but remained supported by sharp gains in financial and mining stocks.
The Royal Bank of Scotland led U.K. lenders higher, with shares surging 2.16%, while Lloyds Banking advanced 1.65% and Barclays inched up 0.04%. HSBC Holdings underperformed on the other hand, as shares fell 0.26%
Meanwhile, mining group Vedanta Resources held gains, with shares up 2.47%, while BHP Billiton added 0.33% and Rio Tinto turned lower, dropping 0.85%.
Also on the upside, Vodafone rallied 1.31% following reports the phone company is open to discuss tax issues and that it will explore a new option to pay the government if interest and penalty are waived off.
Separately, Barclays raised its price target on the stock.
In the U.S., equity markets followed higher with the Dow up 0.27%, the broad based S&P 500 higher by 0.29% and the tech heavy Nasdaq up 0.46.

I shoved my penis so far up her cakehole, she squealed in delight.
by cake baker October 22, 2011
Noun. Mouth, i.e. the orifice one ought to be using for eating cake rather than talking shit. From the British slang cakehold, a vulgarity in the 50s or 60s. Now recognized as a very juvenile colloquialism. See also pie-hole.
Shut your cake-hole, or I will shut it for you!

Lesley Mottla | Good Design Means Business
2012 IDSA International Conference
Boston, MA
About the Talk: Good design means fundamentally staying focused on the people you're serving and deeply understanding how they interact with your product or service. But what do you do when a bride is using your service and she gets involved in a car collision on her way to her ceremony? That's just one scenario Zipcar has had to design its way out of. This talk reveals how Zipcar strives to continually improve and enhance every aspect of their members' experience—whether it's on the Web, on a mobile device, in a parking lot or inside a Zipcar. It features examples of experience design efforts at Zipcar that have impacted business results.
About the Speaker: Lesley Mottla, vice president, product and member experience at Zipcar, and her team innovate the Zipcar member experience across all channels—from mobile to Web to the Zipcar itself. She led the charge in creating Zipcar's smartphone applications, making it possible for consumers to reserve a Zipcar and honk its horn from across the parking lot. Before Zipcar, she was part of the Microsoft Office Product Group, and she held key product management roles at Groove Networks, where she helped take the startup to acquisition. She co-founded an art studio, co-produced a cooking show for tweens, volunteers each year internationally and participates on a local nonprofit board aimed at improving the quality of life for girls in orphanages in the world's poorest countries.

text: Conservative Victory in Virginia GOP With Appointment of Shaun Kenney Print article Send a Tip by Michael Patrick Leahy 3 Apr 2014 post a comment The Republican Party of Virginia is picking a top conservative blogger as its executive director. Pat Mullins, Chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia, announced on Tuesday that Shaun Kenney, the founder of the respected conservative blog Bearing Drift, has been named executive director of the Republican Party of Virginia. The move comes at a critical time for the party, with no major statewide political office held by a Republican and a bitter civil war brewing at the county level between Tea Party activists and establishment Republicans. Kenney, who served as the chairman of the Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors from 2010 to 2013, has worked well with both sides in the past. His strong traditional conservative reputation positions him to lessen the gap between the two. But succeeding in his new position will take every ounce of his political skills. Kenney's appointment was greeted with enthusiasm by many activists. "Whoa! Great get for RPV!" posted veteran party activist Kate Obenshain on her Facebook wall. "Shaun Kenney just landed one of the toughest jobs in Virginia. And we need him. Shaun understands the challenges ahead, and he'll be smart and savvy in dealing with them. I'm heartened about our Party's future today." Chairman Mullins emphasized Kenney's ability to work with all sides in his announcement. "When I started the search for out next Executive Director, I realized that we needed someone from outside the traditional mold," Mullins said. "Someone who has been in the arena, someone with real world leadership experience, and someone who understands the changing nature of campaign and communications." In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News on Thursday, Kenney hit the same note. "It takes a little bit of finesse, twenty years of experience with the party, and generally being tolerated by all side to be an effective executive director. The executive director is kind of like the first diplomat. You listen to all sides, give them the truth, and they generally respect that," he told Breitbart News. "As executive director my job is to make sure our conventions run smoothly, and our nominees are in the best possible position to win the general election," Kenney said. "In 2014, that means defeating Senator Mark Warner (D-VA)." The party, whose fortunes had been on the upswing with the election of Republican Bob McDonnell as governor in 2009 and an effective takeover of the state senate in 2011, has fallen on hard times since. Barack Obama won the state over Mitt Romney in 2012, and George Allen's senate bid the same year failed miserably. Then, in 2013, the party squandered an opportunity to keep the governor's mansion. Then-Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling, miffed that Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli won the party's gubernatorial nomination, took his ball and went home. His former top consultant Marcus Boyd, turned Benedict Arnold and went to work for Democratic nominee McAuliffe's campaign. Cuccinelli ran a poor campaign for governor, failing to hit on a major campaign theme of opposition to Obamacare until it was too late and alienating the grassroots by excluding them from his campaign operations. In the end, McAuliffe won the race, but barely, 48 percent to 46 percent. Cuccinelli responded positively to the announcement of Kenney's appointment, donating $25,000 to the Republican Party of Virginia on Tuesday. Republican leaders in the Virginia House of Delegates are also expected to respond publicly in favor of Kenney's appointment on Thursday. The 36 year old Kenney served as Director of Communications for the Republican Party of Virginia in 2007 and is currently finishing the undergraduate degree he started eighteen years ago at Catholic University. He is currently enrolled on a part-time basis at the University of Virginia. In his exclusive interview with Breitbart News on Thursday, Kenney said he has three top priorities. "First things first is getting back on offense as our top priority. We must make sure the Democrats can't run from their records," Kenney said. "For instance, Senator Warner was the deciding vote on Obamacare, and Terry McAuliffe is doing everything in his power to force it down the throats of families in Virginia." "Second is the grassroots," Kenney added. "The grassroots need the tools to execute. For too long we've given them a direction, but not the tools needed to execute. A lot of that has to do with rebuilding our lists, getting our donor file up, and making folks feel they are part of the family again." "The third and last priority is restoring a spirit of hard work," Kenney noted. Kenney then demonstrated his ability for communications and messaging by delivering what may become one of the most memorable lines of 2014. "For too long we've lulled ourselves into the complacency of the Karl Rove era, where we think we can campaign behind desks," he said. Kenney closed his exclusive interview with Breitbart News by criticizing liberals and encouraging conservatives to be true to their convictions. "The liberals would love nothing more than for us to be ashamed of being conservatives," he said. "We need to send a message out that there's nothing shameful about defending the second amendment, defending small government, and defending the basic human right to exist. There is everything shameful about destroying our constitution, expanding our government, or defending the practice of abortion on demand."

Toxic avengers
Learn about one of Central Florida's most polluted bodies of water on a Toxic Tour of the Lake Apopka area
Published: September 29, 2011
Toxic Tour of Apopka
To arrange a tour, call the Farmworker Association of Florida
Tours are $50 per group
It used to be that Lake Apopka wasn't an oddity, but rather, a trophy. The lake, the third-largest in Florida, was considered a world-class fishing destination before the World War II. But as Central Florida's population grew, so did the abuses the lake endured. Beginning in the 1940s, nutrient-rich wetlands on the lake's north shore were utilized for agriculture (such operations eventually encompassed 20,000 acres); in the ensuing decades, the lake would become a repository for chemical runoff not only from farms but nearby citrus-processing plants as well. By the 1980s, Lake Apopka was considered the state's most polluted large lake.
But it's not just the environmental aspect of this tragedy that motivates Jeannie Economos, the wild-haired environmental health project coordinator of the Farmworker Association of Florida, to offer her singular "Toxic Tour" of the Lake Apopka area. It's also the serious – and somewhat mysterious – health problems of many former farmworkers who worked for decades on Lake Apopka's so-called muck farms. This is the third year of the Toxic Tour, and judging by the almost jittery level of energy emanating from the 58-year-old Economos, we imagine it'll be around for many more.
The tour begins at the association's headquarters on 1264 Apopka Blvd., though your group will need to provide its own vehicle – as well as 50 bucks – to take the tour. After a quick briefing on the lake and a 15-minute trek northward on Orange Blossom Trail past gritty motels, vast warehouses and the carcass of an old Pan Am propeller jet, you'll turn onto Jones Avenue, which traces a straight line just north of Lake Apopka. On your right, you'll see hundreds of old steel drums – formerly used to store pesticides – stacked into pyramids two stories tall. Then there are the decrepit, abandoned pieces of farm machinery, and this lovable piece of septic tank signage: "Ain't no smelly with Shelley's."
After a left on 448A, you reach a dead end. This is the former site of Duda Farms, where hundreds of farmworkers worked and lived in cramped trailers until 1998, when the farms were shut down and the land was transferred into the state's hands. Now, all that's left of Duda are tall grasses and a sign from the St. Johns Water Management District warning of the DDT in the soil. It's here that you'll get out of the car for the first time, and if you're lucky, you may spot the only animals that live here: a few large, furry black ants with red stripes.
