Latest Decline in amphibian populations Stories
Amphibian declines around the world have forced many species to the brink of extinction, are much more complex than realized and have multiple causes that are still not fully understood, researchers conclude in a new report.
As frogs around the world continue to disappear—many killed by a rapidly spreading disease called chytridiomycosis, which attacks the skin cells of amphibians—one critically endangered species has received an encouraging boost.
In nature, ultraviolet radiation from sunlight is not the amphibian killer scientists once suspected.
Scientists have unraveled the dynamics of a deadly disease that is wiping out amphibian populations across the globe.
Scientists broadly agree that global warming may threaten the survival of many plant and animal species; but global warming did not kill the Monteverde golden toad, an often cited example of climate-triggered extinction, says a new study.
Atrazine, one of the world's most widely used pesticides, wreaks havoc with the sex lives of adult male frogs, emasculating three-quarters of them and turning one in 10 into females.
Midwife toads that live in the mountains are highly likely to die from a serious fungal infection, called chytridiomycosis, whereas their infected relatives in the lowlands are not.
Most countries throughout the world participate in the $40-million-per-year culinary trade of frog legs in some way, with 75 percent of frog legs consumed in France, Belgium and the United States.
Everyone knows that frogs are in trouble and that some species have disappeared, but a recent analysis of Central American frog surveys shows the situation is worse than had been thought.
The world's leading amphibian experts have come together and for the first time identified two major conservation initiatives to protect the amphibians of the world from becoming extinct.

Mai Khao Beach Restaurants
Where to Eat in Mai Khao Beach
Mai Khao is one of the least developed beaches in Phuket. It is a beautiful, long white-sand beach lined with greenery and exudes the feeling of 'here, you can truly get away from it all'.
Dining options at Mai Khao are still limited but what's available is well enough to satisfy diners, whether you prefer Thai cuisine, fresh seafood or European dishes. If you are in the area near Anantara Resort, stop by at Turtle Village located right next door for delicious food at the Coffee Club and Bill Bentley Pub. Or if you have never explored a real local venue try one of the bamboo-and-thatch seaside restaurants at the northern end of Mai Khao Beach just before the Sarasin Bridge.
- Rafting & Elephant Trekking
- Cruise on the June Bahtra to Phang Nga Bay
- Phi Phi Island by Speedboat
- Phuket Fantasea Show

Aside from high-end dining at the JW Marriott Phuket Resort and other venues mentioned above, the only other place to eat along Mai Khao Beach is at the bamboo-and-thatch seafood outlets located where Route 402 runs 700 metres next to the beach near Sarasin Bridge. It's home to about 10 restaurants including Jakajan Seafood (the biggest of all), Fang Keaw, Pla Pao, and Rim Haad Seafood. Though it is a Thai-style laid back place, prices are not that cheap so make sure to check before ordering as certain seafood items are sold by weight, especially the barbecue dishes, and can be expensive.

- Location: Northern end of Mai Khao Beach, very close to the Sarasin Bridge
- Cuisine: Thai and seafood

Zydeco With Lisa Haley
3 tickets
General Admission
How was your experience?
Lisa Haley and her Zydekats were a fun group to watch. Liked the accordian player, they were all very entertaining. Sound system had some issues with feedback and microphone levels. I haven't been to the Muck before but appreciated the venue for it's history of the area. You can picnic on the grounds before the event or bring it into the concert. They also sell beer and wine onsite. They have small tables and very hard metal benches. Guess that's to encourage people to dance...

One of the things the modern greats like Xavi, Lionel Messi and Yaya Toure have is the ability to receive a ball under the pressure of onrushing opponents – it seems to me they don't need any space at all to control the ball and keep it away from an opponent.
Of course, you and I are coaching young players who can easily be put off by a player running towards them – they need a lot of space to control the ball.
Defenders must close down opponents quickly so they reach the player at the same time they receive the ball. With no time to get it under control, it will be much easier for the defender to step in and win it.
How to play
Using the penalty area, mark out an area the same size opposite it with a 10-yard "no man's land" between the areas, as shown in the top picture.
Play 5v5. Use a goalkeeper, two defenders and two attackers on each team.
Put two attackers from one team and two defenders from the other in each half.
Players must stay in the area they start in.
Toss a coin for kick off, play starts with the goalkeeper.
Restarts are by the goalkeeper if the ball goes over the end lines. There are no corners. Take throw-ins as usual.
Play is continuous – when a team wins the ball, it looks to pass and attack the goal.
Attackers must create space for the defenders to pass to.
Defenders must try and win the ball from the attackers.
How to advance it
- The passing player can follow the ball into the attacking half.
Widen "no man's land" to 20 yards to make passing and timing of runs harder – do this by moving the orange/outer area back 10 yards but keep the areas the same size.
By making "no man's land" wider, you make the pass longer giving the defenders more time to see the ball and close the attackers down.
It also means that it will be harder to make the pass accurate because the player will need to think about power.

By David Clarke
Early last season I was frustrated with my players because they were throwing away matches by defending too deep in the last few minutes. We were playing 25 minutes each way and, for every minute except the last 10, we were the better team. Looking at my notes at the time, I was having trouble keeping my players focused on their formation for the whole match. Instead, as they neared the end, the team began to just clear their lines.
Lone attacker too deep
My lone attacker in the 2-3-1 formation we played was so deep, he was playing in our penalty area. So, when we won the ball, there was no outlet and it kept coming back until we eventually buckled under the pressure.
This is a common problem you see all the time, even at the top level of the game. If you are winning 1-0, why not just stop the other team scoring? It's something the Italian clubs and national team have always been famous for.
However, to do this, you need to play a different formation. I found it difficult during the game to persuade my attacker to leave his deep position and take opposition players away from our goal by staying near the halfway line. In his young mind, he was helping the team win the game.
Makes sense to play the same way
There was no point in shouting at him during the game. I had to wait until training and explain it to him. Eventually, over the course of a few weeks he, and the team, realised that if we were winning 1-0 by playing a certain way, then it made sense to play that way until the final whistle.
However, we had a few tears along the way. My centre back took my instructions literally that we should be attacking in the last 10 minutes.
With a couple of minutes to go in one game, he charged up the wing with the ball and went past one, past two, past three… then he lost ball and the counter attack caught us out!
Filed under: Dave Clarke, Soccer Coaching, Soccer Fitness, Soccer News, Soccer Refereeing, Soccer Skills, Soccer Team Management, Soccer Training | Tags: goal crazy, lose, losing, score, targets, winning
We've all seen or heard about the team leading 15-0 whose coach says "play as if it's 0-0". And when the 16th goal goes in the team is celebrating as if it's won the league. Never mind the fact that the losing team has given up long ago…
That said, I'm not a huge fan of the way some teams will hit double figures then put the goalkeeper up front or substitute half the team. That doesn't make the opposition players or manager feel any better either – they just think the team is showing off.
It's a difficult call to make, but there are other ways you can deal with the situation.
Last weekend, we were playing a team a couple of places below us who had won 7-1 the week before, so we were expecting a hard game. But we coasted into a 3-0 lead and I became a bit uneasy that things would get really bad for our opponents.
However, they had a really good spell and pulled it back to 3-2. This made for a much better game; my team had to think hard about how they were playing, and it was a lesson for them assuming the job was done so early.
By half-time though we were 5-2 up and I could see some of the opposition players' heads had dropped. So for my team talk at the interval I challenged each of my players to touch the ball in the build-up to a goal. If they could do that, they'd get to choose what training we did the following week.
Of course, the opposition didn't realise we were now playing this way – they could only see a switching, shielding, passing and movement process that offered more situations where they might, in theory, win the ball.
The parents of my players had something to concentrate on as well – watching players getting into good positions for the pass.
It became a much better game and really gave my players a good work out in the second half. The score in that half was 2-2 so both teams had played well. Neither of our goals came from every player touching the ball, but it's something to aim at next week, or the week after.
This tactic led to a much happier conclusion to the match, although I know some of the parents on my team had been muttering that "nobody does this when we're losing"!
That was a fair point, but if we can share ideas such as this, maybe that will change?

By David Clarke
Changing the dimensions of the field is a quick fix to a lot of problems.
Making the field larger gives the attackers and midfielders more space to show off their skills.
If a team is not scoring, increase the size of the pitch until they learn how to pass, shoot and score. Gradually reduce the pitch to the normal size and they will have learned what they have to do to score.
- Making the field smaller helps the defending team by reducing the amount of space they have to cover.
The problem: Your team is not taking advantage when they win the ball to turn defence into attack.
The solution: Use a long narrow layout with small goals to force players into fast, direct attacks through the middle of the pitch. Attacking small goals needs swift passing to break the defence down and create opportunities to score. The shape of the pitch will force play to be quick and direct.
Set up a pitch that is 50 yards long x 10 yards wide, to create a tunnel effect where the players' focus is narrowed like a racehorse wearing blinkers. Play games of 3v3 with small goals. No goalkeepers. Restart with a dribble or pass from in front of the team's own goal.

2v1/3v2 transition game
So what will we be working on this week? This session which exploits 2v1s and 3v2s in front of goal.
How it works
The advantage switches as the attack changes direction after every phase of play.
How to set it up
Use a 40 yards by 30 yards area with a goal and a goalkeeper at each end.
How to play it
The central player dribbles on to the pitch and passes to one of the two opponents.
Immediately, a 2v1 situation begins.
Once this ball is played, two team mates join the defender and a 3v2 game commences in the opposite direction.
Rotate your players
- Rotate the players' positions so both teams have a chance to attack 2v1 and 3v2.

My dd (grade 6) has been using Rosetta Stone for Spanish this year. At first, this method seemed great. She was picking it up easily. However, once we got to January, her progress slowed significantly and her frustration level grew. I don't speak Spanish, but could help her a little. Mostly she gets really confused with the different conjugations of verbs. I showed her a typical conjugation chart (from my French learning days) and she said, "why can't they just show me that!" Since then, she has been requesting a more "traditional" approach. I still want her to be able to hear the language a lot too. Is there a program that blends the traditional and immersion methods? She has always been interested in Spanish and has been listening to it since preschool through cds of songs, muzzy, etc. She took an immersion based camp which she loved (I thought immersion would be great for her). But, she is more of a sequential learner. She doesn't want to give up Spanish, but she needs either a class (where a teacher can answer questions) or a different program to use at home. She is all but refusing to use Rosetta stone. We have also used BBC in the past.

Look and see if your library subscribes to Mango Language Learning. It is all on-line and free. Our ds likes it much better than Rosetta Stone (which is bummer since we own it)..
Thanks! 2mama, how does Mango Language differ from Rosetta Stone. Our library doesn't subscribe to it, but the Mango website does have personal subscriptions too. Are there some key differences to why your ds likes it better than Rosetta Stone?

Tagging a question on to this thread: I've been looking at Spanish for Children by Classical Academic Press. It has a dvd portion, but it's highly structured and does a lot with grammar. I'm looking at it because I don't want a curriculum that only teaches a handful of vocabulary the way so many elementary Spanish programs do, but my child who is asking for Spanish isn't ready for high school level work.
Has anyone used this? It gets mixed reviews over on the Well Trained Mind forums.
I like Spanish for Kids, it's a full Spanish curriculum created by a Spanish teacher for young children!
We like the DVDs and workbooks from Northern Arizona University. But we're only in the middle of the Grades 3-4 of Elementary Spanish at Home so far. They have a program for middle school too (Educacion Espanola) but since we haven't reached that level yet I can't say how good it is. I like that my DD can watch the DVD and then do the workbook on her own. They also have it on Dish Network but I like having the actual DVDs so she can watch them again when she wants. The Elementary Spanish program is about $120 for 50 lessons, so I think it's very reasonable. The website is http://esp.extended.nau.edu/
Hope that helps someone.

Wheelin' it at Auto Club
by Paul Williams on March 25th, 2015
It was an exciting week in the NASCAR iRacing Series as drivers found themselves wrestling the challenges of maintaining grip at the high-speed Auto Club Speedway. Trying to maintain the dangerous, but necessary, corner exit speed given the long straightaways suckered many in to overdriving the cars – leaving those who could understand and feel the tires' limits reaping the benefits. Unlike last week at Phoenix, Auto Club's shear size allowed for a lot of side-by-side racing and long green flag runs. The average number of cautions in both the Fixed and Open series came in in the mid-to-low single digits, affording drivers the opportunity to play multiple strategies. The week's opening races went to Malik Ray for the Open series and Robert Padavich for the Fixed, giving both drivers [...]
Humpe Dominant, Wins Second Straight
by Jason Lofing on March 25th, 2015
For the second week in a row, Kenny Humpe visited victory lane in the NASCAR PEAK Antifreeze Series Powered by iRacing. This time, Humpe's win capped a dominating performance at Auto Club Speedway in which he started from the pole and led five times for 97 of 125 laps. Chad Laughton finished runner-up, half a second behind the winner with Justin Bolton third, followed by Ray Alfalla and Nick Ottinger. From the drop of the green flag, Humpe was clearly the driver to beat. After Laughton drafted by to lead the second lap, Humpe regained control and looked to pull away from the rest of the field, although a trio of cautions would keep that from happening. The first two incidents were relatively minor but the third, which unfolded on [...]
NASCAR iRacing Series Diary: Auto Club Speedway
by James Falcon Pratt on March 23rd, 2015
Falcon Racing enjoyed a good week in the NASCAR iRacing Series at Auto Club Speedway, with a 12th place in the Open and a fourth place in the Fixed. We even lead two laps in the Fixed, adding to the two laps we lead at Daytona back in Week 1. The setup was good for a fixed setup and drivers could find different lines based on driving styles. We were running four, five and even six lines through both sets of corners and even down the front straight. At times we would be three wide down the back straight. The open setups were even more interesting with some running right at the wall and others on the white line as well as any of the four lanes in-between. Both of [...]
Behind the Scenes: NASCAR Peak Antifreeze Series – Into the Wild Unknown
by Matt Holden on March 23rd, 2015
I've had this article planned for a while and I'm very excited about it. Honestly, I do not want to write a single word about the Las Vegas race. But I will, if for no other reason than to put a period on that and go into what I actually want to discuss. If you want to read about the race from a broad view, Jason Lofing wrote a good article on it which can be found here: http://www.iracing.com/iracingnews/nascar-news/humpe-wins-controversial-vegas Our race was a disaster. There is no better way to describe it. Of our six drivers, one didn't qualify, one disconnected on Lap 5 (No, he did not switch to Nick Ottinger's internet service provider), three crashed, and one managed to escape the cataclysmic final restart to finish third.

Burnin' Rubber and Cash 2015 Nascar iRacing Series: Phoenix Spring
by Dylan Schmidt on March 23rd, 2015
Welcome to sunny Phoenix, Arizona everyone! We got into town yesterday, after a seemingly endless drive across country. I feel sorry for those East Coast teams that have to drive even further than we did… two days stuffed in a car full of smelly dudes with questionable hygiene is enough for me. I'm restless and ready for some action! After last week's horrible finish, we were forced to purchase a new chassis and engine. It's horrible having to scrap a whole car, but we're considering options for what to do with the trashed bodies. Maybe we'll start a bone-yard in homage to NASCAR's most popular driver, Dale Jr. He likes to collect other people's cars though, so I guess ours will just be our own dead machines. This week, we [...]
From A Dig Motorsports' "Tough Trucks" – Bump Drafting… Again!
by Scott Smith on March 23rd, 2015
As the Earth continues to orbit around our sun, she begins to tilt about on her axis, and point in a more direct manner towards the heart of our solar system. With this seemingly incomprehensible act of the heavens comes change. Spring is in the air (at least in north of the Equator). Critters begin to come out of hibernation, the grass turns a vibrant green, and beautiful flowers begin to bloom. In the virtual world of iRacing, a cycle of change has also dawned. Not only are us iRacers beginning Season 2, but we have a new build to get accustomed to, as well as an up-to-date model of the 2015 NASCAR Camping World truck. Diehard Ford fans may be disappointed, as the blue oval has been kicked to [...]
Keselowski snatches win in wild finish
March 22nd, 2015
Brad Keselowski completed a spectacular comeback to take Fontana NASCAR Sprint Cup victory on the second green-white-chequered restart. Keselowski dived down the inside of Stewart-Haas' polesitter and long-time race leader Kurt Busch at Turn 1 and completed the move at the exit of Turn 2 on the final lap of the race. The late-race restarts suited Keselowski as his Penske Ford was stronger on short runs, and the 2012 champion was also one of the few frontrunners to grab four fresh tyres at the last stops. Kevin Harvick earned second after winning the previous two races at Las Vegas and Phoenix respectively. His streak of top two finishes extended to eight, as he beat team-mate Busch on the run to the chequered flag after Busch hit the wall trying to [...]
Kurt Busch on pole at Fontana
March 21st, 2015
Kurt Busch dominated qualifying for the fifth NASCAR Sprint Cup race of the season at Fontana, only his second event back after suspension. The Stewart-Haas driver had topped the earlier practice session and set the fastest times in the second and final segments of qualifying to head team-mate – and winner of the last two Cup races – Kevin Harvick. Busch had sat out the first three races of 2015 during a legal case over assault allegations. Last year's Fontana polesitter Matt Kenseth managed third after setting the fastest time of the entire session in the first qualifying instalment, followed by David Ragan – subbing for an injured Kyle Busch in the #18 Joe Gibbs Toyota – and 2014 Fontana race runner-up Kyle Larson. The most notable absentee from the [...]
Blood clots sideline Vickers again
March 20th, 2015
Brian Vickers has been sidelined from this weekend's Fontana NASCAR Sprint Cup race due to a reoccurrence of the blood clots that have previously interrupted his racing. Vickers missed the opening rounds of the 2015 season following winter heart surgery. Issues relating to blood clots had previously caused him to sit out sections of the 2010 and '13 campaigns as well. "Thankfully, because I recognised the signs and symptoms, the doctors caught this early and I'm going to be OK," said Vickers. "I had finished my treatment for the clot I had in my leg back in 2013 and I haven't needed to be on a blood thinner for a clot in my leg or lung since. "Now I won't be able to race because I'll need to be back [...]
Phoenix Recovery Room
by Jake Hayes on March 20th, 2015
So far this season in the 2015 NASCAR iRacing Series (Open) we have visited two 1.5 milers. Week 3 took us to the unique one mile oval at Phoenix International Raceway. The thing about Phoenix that makes it so different from any other track NASCAR goes to is the "Dogleg" located on the backstretch. Drivers in both real and sim worlds use the dogleg to make passes and it often leads to some interesting racing. This is also one of my favorite tracks and I managed a second place finish here in the 2014 season. I was hoping to improve on that this year and bring home a win! NASCAR updated its rules package for 2015 and, with its newest update, iRacing incorporated this rules package in Gen-6 Sprint Cup [...]
NASCAR iRacing Series Outlook: Auto Club Speedway
by James Falcon Pratt on March 18th, 2015
We did not have this track in 2013. It was one of two tracks we did not have in the first season. (I think the other was Kansas for the first race of the season.) As a result we ran at Iowa and Rockingham. I did very well at those two fill-in tracks coming home sixth at Iowa and 11th at Rockingham. In 2014 I came home sixth in the Fixed race and 13th in the Open. Much like Michigan I do not seem to run these larger near-super speedways well, but both finishes were good. In the Open races my 13th was great in my eye. The reason is that I tend to leave a bit more room than needed braking into Turns 1 and 3. This lets the [...]
New Build Gives Second Lives at PIR
by Paul Williams on March 18th, 2015
This past weekend's NASCAR iRacing Series action at Phoenix International Raceway saw tempers flaring, fenders caving, and incident points accumulating. The culmination of a short track, a new build and anxious racers with little in terms of official racing available left the iRacing official pace car in need of its own pit crew. NASCAR XFINITY Series driver Josh Berry headed-off the tumultuous week with a win Wednesday night over Jordy Lopez Jr. in the Open series, while Matt Bussa celebrated a win Thursday's Fixed series event. The average number of cautions for each opening night were in excess of 10 with nearly one third of the races being run under yellow. Friday night's Open series event saw Jeremy R Allen sneak the win away from defending series champion Patrick Crabtree, [...]
NASCAR iRacing Series Diary: PIR
by James Falcon Pratt on March 16th, 2015
This week's Fixed race was very messy. Why? Well it seems that 156 lap races are too short for some drivers who feel they had to make it three wide on every restart. If you are fast the 156 laps should give you time to move through the field, or so one would think! I started in the top third of the field and with the yellows flying more than the greens I stayed out to avoid the mess in the center of the pack. This worked well and I ran as high as third at times. I would bring my nearly clean car home 10th and was very happy with that. In the Open, unlike the Fixed, I was set on the grid in the 27th spot. But as [...]
Harvick claims second straight win
March 15th, 2015
Kevin Harvick survived two late race restarts to win the Phoenix NASCAR Sprint Cup race, taking his second consecutive victory and fifth in the last six races at the track. The 2014 champion took the lead from Joey Logano early on after a poor start from pole position, and dominated the first half of the race, with Logano again his main rival for much of that period. Harvick continued to keep various opponents at arm's length, including series returnee and Stewart-Haas team-mate Kurt Busch, back from a three week suspension from NASCAR. Busch showed no sign of rustiness as he fought his way up the order methodically through the race, finally challenging for the lead with two thirds of the distance remaining. Harvick then made the most of a caution [...]
In-form Harvick takes Phoenix pole
March 14th, 2015
Reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Kevin Harvick took pole position for Sunday's race at Phoenix. The Stewart Haas driver has six wins at the circuit, and has won four of the last five races despite never previously taking pole at the track. Harvick – who has two second place finishes and a win out of three races so far this season – clocked a 25.577s to head 2015 Daytona 500 winner and last week's Las Vegas pole-sitter Joey Logano. Jamie McMurray, Matt Kenseth and Ryan Newman rounded out the top five, while Kurt Busch landed eighth on the grid for his first start of the year following his three-week NASCAR suspension. Hendrick Motorsports had a surprisingly average session, with Kasey Kahne and Jeff Gordon its highest-placed drivers on the fifth [...]
Putting the Excitement Back in Restarts
by Paul Williams on March 13th, 2015
While last week's NASCAR iRacing Series visit to the virtual Las Vegas Motor Speedway produced many splits and some great sim racing, there was an outcry from the community about the need for an overhaul when it comes to restarts in the Gen6 cars. "I have no problem overcoming adversity of my own doing. But, to have this black flag issue affect me 2 out of 3 races so far in NASCAR iRacing Series is getting old," said Anthony Palombo. "Driving through the field is fun, but I only want to do it if I am back there on purpose or my own doing, not because of others handling on restart issues." Unfortunately, it's hard to imagine a reasonable scenario from the reactive side that could resolve the problem. Programming [...]
NASCAR PEAK Antifreeze Series: Manufacturer Points
by Dylan Kapisky on March 13th, 2015
Tuesday night, the NASCAR PEAK Antifreeze Series rolled into the virtual Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The 1.5 mile track was host to a mixed bag of great sim racing, from long green flag runs to cautions within six laps of restarts. Kenny Humpe dominated the early part of the race, and it looked as if Chevrolet would pick-up their first victory of the season. But bad timing for Humpe on a caution put Nick Ottinger in the lead late, with Toyota in position to notch their first win of 2015. With only a handful of laps to go, Humpe and Ottinger were battling for the lead, when they made contact, sending Nick into the wall, while Humpe emerged in P1. Humpe would hold the lead on a "one lap shootout" [...]
Touch 'n Go in Vegas
by Jake Hayes on March 13th, 2015
Week 2 of the NASCAR iRacing Series sent us west to another fast 1.5 miler: Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Vegas has never been my favorite track, and I failed to finish last year's race with a blown engine. Despite not really liking the track, I'm pretty quick around the place, which means we could get our first top five of the season! Atlanta and Las Vegas may both be 1.5 mile tracks, but they share very few traits other than that. Vegas has nowhere near the amount of bumps of Atlanta, which makes tuning your car lots easier. Vegas also has a unique line in Turns 1-2 with the fastest line often being right in the middle of the track. This makes passes challenging and track position a factor in [...]
Behind the Scenes: The NASCAR PEAK Antifreeze Series powered by iRacing.com – New Build, Same Plan
by Matt Holden on March 12th, 2015
A few weeks ago, I had a chat with an old friend. He's an old "iRacing buddy" of mine, one of the big-wigs at the team I was part of before joining Gale Force Sim Racing. The two of us are great examples of how iRacing has developed its own types of members, very similar to how the real world of motorsport works. He is from the northern US, and Modified Stock Cars and weekly short-track racing is his deal. I am from the Carolinas, where engineering, math, and wind-tunnels have taken over the world of NASCAR. His iRacing vehicle of choice is obviously the Modifieds, and he calls the big stock cars "Taxi cabs." I, however, have no real vehicle of choice, and haven't run anything on a week-to-week [...]
Race return 'means the world' – Busch
March 12th, 2015
Kurt Busch says he is keen to put the accusations of domestic assault behind him as he prepares to make his return from suspension at this weekend's Phoenix NASCAR event. The 2004 Cup champion was sidelined on the eve of the Daytona 500 when NASCAR imposed an indefinite suspension in the wake of a Delaware civil court's finding that he had likely committed an act of domestic assault against ex-girlfriend Patricia Driscoll last year. That suspension was overturned this week when the Delaware Department of Justice announced that Busch will not face criminal charges, although he remains under indefinite probation by NASCAR. "It means the world to me to be back in the car," he said. "It's been a tough situation the last few months. "I've gone through this with [...]

Let me start by saying that we (family of 5) had stayed twice before when Mount Cinnamon was the former (and much less expensive) Cinnamon Hill hotel. We always loved it because the location and view high on the hill is the best in all of Grenada. We resisted staying at Mount Cinnamon because we thought it would be too exclusive and fancy and not worth the higher prices. For our last trip we stayed at The Flamboyant next door. While The Flamboyant was certainly adequate, the rooms are no-frill, and one floor, like your typical hotel room. We opted to try Mount Cinnamon this time to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and boy, are we happy we did. It was absolutely wonderful and totally worth the price! We will not stay anywhere else from now on. It was not exclusive and every single person working there was so friendly, helpful and attentive. We didn't have a single moment of aggravation, as sometimes can happen when you suddenly transition to "island time". We stayed in Villa 10, which was 2 floors, exceptionally clean, and had great views - well worth the approximately 500(!) steps down to the beach. The bed was super comfy, air conditioning cool, and the US converter was a must to charge my phone every day. There is free wifi which worked great, and even a TV that got US channels! Breakfast was included in our rate and we ate there every morning. It was superb! I don't know how anyone could complain. We had more rain than usual, but spent a lot of time down at the beach cabana where there are a lot of comfy chairs, hammock and beach beds - all covered - as well as a bar. The coffee there was great. And, if you are celebrating something special, as we were, if you mention it, be prepared for the days of fanfare that will follow!! We had fresh flower petals on our bed, a card, a cake, and well wishes from literally every staff member. In addition, they told every restaurant where they made reservations for us, so that every night we went out was a celebration (with free champagne, desserts, etc)!! We are so happy we stayed there and will always stay there again as long as our legs hold out for the climb up and down the hill.
Oh, one last thing... go through homeaway.com to book. I initially called the hotel direct and got a price that seemed to conflict with their website. Then I saw a villa posted on home away.com that was $50 cheaper a night AND included breakfast. Ironically, when the person responded to me, it was not an individual, but a different hotel employee! I don't know why there were two different rates quoted, but breakfast for 2 every morning is pretty pricey, so it was a significantly cheaper rate. Go to Mount Cinnamon now!!

Young French chef seeks US employment
June 12, 2014 4:48 PM Subscribe
One of my former English students from Toulouse, France is now attending Anne-Sophie Pic's culinary school and hopes to find a job in the U.S. in a couple of years. He has asked me for advice on how to go about that, avenues he should pursue, the kind of Visa he should get (before or after he finds a job?), so now I'm asking for you--- any advice or personal knowledge for fulfilling this dream of his?
Where's the school? Getting a work visa in the US is difficult (there's a certain time to do them and the quota vanishes quickly). If the school was in the US he could get a one-year OPT visa, but otherwise it's up to the companies to decide whether they want to sponsor him.

As far as I know to get a H1-B working visa, you need to have a 4 year bachelors degree. and like divabat mentioned, quota vanishes within days.

Might check your valve springs close. I do not see any options. Running it will only create more metal in the pan an bearings where you do not need it. Also would cause valve problems eventually.
A longer push rod will not open the valve any further than it is opening now. Yes, rocker arm to valve tip geometry might be better, but gross valve opening is determined by the cam lobe and rocker arm ratio.
Keep good oil in it, and drive it as long as you can, an overhaul is imminent. |
Don't mess around trying to find a quick get you through fix, might as well face it and fix it when the funds permit. No additive or longer push-rod is going to really do you any good. JMO

If it is a failed cam, you will just cause more damage if you keep running it.If the cam did fail there is a lot of metal particles in the oil and they will eventually destroy everything
Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity Chet |
If you absolutely HAVE to drive it w/o replacing the cam and lifters, remove the pushrod and lifter and plug the lifter bore both bottom and top w/Dorman p/n 550-009 concave expansion plugs, leaving the oil journal open to pass oil through that lifter bore. If it's the intake valve cam lobe that's bad you can leave the exhaust working. If it's the exhaust valve, do both valves of the bad cylinder the same way.
You will have frictional and pumping losses that make the loss of power more than just 1/8 of the engines output, but at least it won't be grinding even more metal into the oil. You still should change the oil and filter, and hope that more lobes aren't on their way out. OR- change the cam and lifters. |
Don't take a chance doing more damage,check this out www.summitracing.com put this in search: SUM-K1103, new cam & lifters $102.95 these are a good bang for the buck and won't hurt your wallet.
It is a very typical small block chevy problem. I have seen those old engines wheeze along for quite a while will bad lobes on the cam. I wouldn't worry too much about the metal in the oil, it is probably wearing off pretty microscopic particles. Plus you will rebuild/replace the engine most likely anyway.
If the main bearings aren't shot, which isn't that likely to have happened, replacing the cam and lifters will be the best choice next to rebuilding the engine. Competition Products sells a Chevy cam (stock specs) for $14.00. Add a set of lifters and the gaskets to that, add coolant and an oil/filter change and break in additives and cam break in lube for the lobes and lifter bottoms and you have a better than even chance of success. |
X however many times i agree do the cam kit swap save yourself all the trouble trying to save it like it is. Easy to do in the vehicle as Cobalt stated you may have to remove the grill depending on what the engine is in, By the way what is the engine in ? just so we know what exactly you are working on. Bearing should be fine they are in most cases anyway pending on how long you have been running it this way.JMO
Cole |
The $14 is the cost of the stock spec cam from them. Plus shipping, etc. http://www.competitionproducts.com/b...superbroom.pdf |
the 283 is in a 56 chev. 210. I bought this car in 2002 and have only put about 2000 on it since then. Now that I`m semi retired, I just want a good driver. I did a rebuilt head exchange from a reputable shop, about 45 days ago, and thats when I noticed the valve movement about 1/2 of what it should be during valve adjustment. Thanks
Drain coolant remove valve-covers /distributor/intake and carb/ timing cover and chain and gears loosen and remove some of the bolt to the oil pan so it can drop down enough to get the timing cover off and back on. JMO Loosen the rockers and pull and note where the push-rods where at pull the push-rods and old lifters and after you have the chain and gears off then pull the cam out.
And repeat the process in reverse going back in. Cole |

The New York Rangers carried much of the play in Game 3 but eventually lost to the Montreal Canadiens, yet it was difficult to beat Henrik Lundqvist up too much. Most of the goals he allowed lately have come on weird bounces.
When Lundqvist's had a chance to make the save, he's done it almost every time. That much seemed quite clear when he made this nice stop on Brian Gionta:
The Rangers head into the first period up 1-0, but the goalie on the other end is also difficult to lambaste. Dustin Tokarski probably didn't have much of a chance on Carl Hagelin's shorthanded goal:
Then again, in big games like these, it might come down to Lundqvist or Tokarski making saves they aren't supposed to.

Gionta couldn't score in a soccer net. He's been terrible this and most of the games in the playoffs. Montreal played an absolutely bad 1st period, and NY played ok.
Can't see Montreal winning this one if they continue to play as bad as they have.
- rje49 - May 25, 2014 at 9:58 PM
Looks like Montreal should have spent the past two days practicing their power play instead of practicing their acting and embellishing. They're really good at it; probably the favorite to win an Oscar. Wouldn't be surprised if they all keep one of those Hollywood blood capsules in their cheeks. Pitiful.
