It's very difficult to obtain a work permit if you're not a doctor or scientist. The EU is very protective of its professions, far more than the U.S. My cousin recently took a job in Denmark, but was only able to get it because he's a dual U.S./Irish citizen. Without that, he said he wouldn't have been hired. The work permit process is too cumbersome on the employer.

I have a current Practising Certificate for England and I can't get a work permit.
The scheme outlined would only be viable for a US citizen who has dual citizenship from a EU country.

Yes I do have a reply on work permits.
Work permits are always obtainable and will of course be dependent on the employer having a good reason to employ the student for the duration of their training, that may require a visit to an immigration lawyer in the UK or dealing with them online. Will it be easy? Probably not but far from impossible. If you have recent EU family connections such as Ireland you will be able to obtain a passport more likely than not. I have a friend who did just that. Laws are to be dealt with and if necessary circumlocuted that is the business of being a lawyer so get used to it! This starts from day one before you even get to law school if your really want to be a good one.
The other side of the coin is that you can maintain your training status as an active student by taking a part time LLM degree to maintain your stay as a bona fide student within Tier 4 of the immigration rules for the two years of your training contract. You will of course prepare for your state bar exam during this time aswell.
There will be more than one way to deal with this point and will only become an issue with the Home Office if there are a large number of takers for training as solicitors in the UK when of course the Home Office will create rules for dealing with this specific issue.
Barristers will have an easier deal as they are self-employed and will not require employment to fulfill the Home Office rules. In the final analysis the student will need to be resourceful and find a way to deal with his particular case. I never said it would be easy but it can be done.
Here is the updated link for Cardiff for US students my link above no longer works. You will see that they are especially well aware of US student requirements.
Now here is some news that is news. The new 2 year LLB degrees from some UK law schools as set out in my book will in theory permit qualification as an attorney at law in less than 3 years from high school. You will likely as not have to have a 1st class or Summa cum laude award to do this but it will, likely as not, work. Cardiff is clearly permitting rapid qualification for US students so why not cut a further year off from one of the two year law schools, there are obviously more possibilities than just Cardiff but it is a good school I know people from there who qualifed and have successful legal careers?

But even if one is self employed, one needs to get their immigration status sorted out.
What is your take on the LLB online degree holders taking an online US LLM and then taking a US Bar exam? And what about training contracts for non resident online LLB holders, pretty impossible without connections?

To answer the point inter alia:-
What is your take on the LLB online degree holders taking an online US LLM and then taking a US Bar exam? And what about training contracts for non-resident online LLB holders, pretty impossible without connections?
Online LLM degrees will probably not pass muster with most State Bars you would do well to canvass the State Bar of choice before even considering such a route. You would probably be better off obtaining a full time UK LLM degree with a US bias in your subject choices it would cost less and be of shorter duration one-year or so. Like it or not UK qualifications are regarded with some favor in the United States but as with anything else you have to test your desired qualification with the State Bar authorities. These are all listed on my website and in the book obtainable for free see below.
If you look at the Cardiff Law School web site re US students they make it clear that you can go direct to the NY bar, presumably if you have top grades, so why take an LLM? It is my view that it is better to fully qualify as a barrister first as that is a common law professional status that stands in its own right and would be a good surrogate for an LLM and cost wise is perhaps a better choice. The Bar professional training course plus pupillage is a very potent offering in the market place in the US coupled with the state bar admission. Becoming a lawyer is a rat race exercise and it is a good idea to be the bigger rat in the race. Dual qualification is a very significant status especially if it costs you less money and takes less time than the traditional route to becoming an attorney at law here in the United States. It is the purpose of my book to advance this possibility as well as offer by the way commentary on expensive untimely legal education which on the face of it is difficult to justify.
For those who qualify as barristers and take the traditional way via pupillage and tenancy they will be self-employed and should not have much of a problem with the immigration authorities. If youre transatlantic in your practice then you'll have no problem coming and going on the usual visas for US visitors to and from United States so long as you are self-employed and you check in with the immigration authorities on the matter. My book deals with the process of qualifying first and foremost especially concerning student immigration status. There will be a new edition in the not-too-distant future in which I will examine this point more particularly.
Becoming a solicitor, even with a practicing certificate, could still be a problem as you will have to be employed by someone who is prepared to sponsor you and provide the wherewithal for you to obtain legal immigration status to remain and work in the UK. You may of course marry one of your UK law school compatriots or someone outside the law which will of course ensure your immigration resident status. My late wife had no trouble acquiring UK status from the home office and vice versa years later for me via the US Embassy in London; I obtained my green card permitting me permanent residence here in New Hampshire the live free or die state.
Given the hideous level of expense and time to become an attorney it strikes me that qualifying in the UK is a worthwhile project, how you play that out is up to the individual and always will be. Immigration rules are a tricky area of the law but for wannabe lawyers that should be grist to the mill and good experience on your way to becoming a lawyer much like time you might spend working pro bono or doing other voluntary quasi-legal work before you qualify.
In the spirit of assistance for all and sundry if you wish to have a copy of my book in the current edition please e-mail me at
and I will be pleased to send you a PDF version of the book free of charge. This I will provide for a short time for those who are interested, you will be able to post your copy of the book on to anyone you like if you think it will help them. There is a copyright notice in the PDF version of the book that makes it clear that you can do what you will with copying the book even printing it out but you must not sell it.

All News Releases By Date
EPA solicits Arizona design firms for makeover of Phoenix's Lower Grand Avenue
Release Date: 10/21/2011
Contact Information: Margot Perez-Sullivan, (415) 947-4149; firstname.lastname@example.com
The firm selected will produce designs to improve the Lower Grand Avenue streetscape, making it more environmentally, pedestrian-, and bicycle-friendly, while maintaining the neighborhood's artistic character. The design team will explore options that use green infrastructure techniques suitable for arid climates to capture and treat stormwater runoff. Options might also include improvements to pedestrian crossings, transit shelters, and bicycle paths.
Lower Grand Avenue is in Phoenix's core and adjacent to downtown and the state capitol. Recent developments along Lower Grand Avenue reveal an emerging, grassroots effort to revitalize the area. In 1998, a federally funded Weed and Seed project, which aimed to reduce violent crime by "weeding" out offenders and "seeding" community services, kick-started a partnership between city, federal, and state agencies, as well as the local faith community, residents, businesses, and nonprofits. This partnership has led to a 40 percent reduction in violent crime over the last 10 years. Artists have colonized the street, taking advantage of inexpensive vacant and underused warehouse and shop spaces. The area is now a focus of an annual art festival and monthly First Fridays art events.
Phoenix and four other state capitals were selected from a total of 23 cities nationwide through the EPA's Greening America's Capitals program. The EPA is also funding private sector experts to provide sustainable design assistance to Montgomery, Ala.; Lincoln, Neb.; Washington, D.C.; and Jackson, Miss.
Greening America's Capitals is a project of the Partnership for Sustainable Communities between EPA, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the U.S. Department of Transportation to help state capitals develop a vision of distinctive, environmentally friendly neighborhoods. In addition to helping the selected state capitals build civic pride and a greener future, this assistance will help create models that many other cities can look to in creating their own sustainable designs.

As an up-and-coming haven for the technologically driven and artistically-inclined, Seattle is one of the most independent, beautiful, and business-friendly areas in the United States. While many people are scared off by the prospect of rain (it's not that bad, really), people that live in Seattle love how each neighborhood is home to eclectic activities and places to hang out. From the endless options for delicious coffee to the amazing hiking located in and out of the city, Seattle apartments offer a truly unique experience in a truly unique city.
As the Emerald City continues to grow in popularity, the price of rent has also continued to rise. While there are still some areas that are super affordable, apartments in Seattle neighborhoods like Capitol Hill and the CBD tend to start out around $1,500...and that's for a one bedroom. Neighborhoods that are less in-demand tend to be a lot more affordable, though they still offer the same unique feel as all other parts of Seattle. Honestly, there's no bad place to live in Seattle, in our opinion. Most people live close to where they work, and all parts of the city have aspects that make them great.
There are several reputable colleges and universities in Seattle, including Seattle University, the University of Washington (also known as "UDub"), Seattle Pacific University, and a host of community colleges. Seattle is also a leader in fields like computer software, environmental engineering, and biotechnology, with Amazon and Microsoft both making their home here as well. Whether you're getting your degree, starting your career, or have years of experience under your belt, Seattle has the opportunities for you to live your dream.

I'm hopeful that at some point the "history" section of this article can be filled in with more comic history like how Randall started it, changes to the days it was posted, changes to the xkcd website etc, notable recognition and events; and that the stuff that is already under "history" can be moved to a subsection on the history of the style of xkcd. TheHYPO (talk) 14:25, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
Unless there's an objection, under "Meaning of xkcd" I'd like to rephrase the reference to The Hithhiker's Guide to the Galaxy so it refers to the novel/radio play primarily, and not the movie version. Those are the versions that became legendary in the science fiction community and established the fanbase for the franchise (including the reverence for the number 42), and Randall was almost certainly familiar with them before the movie. I would of course maintain the mention of the movie and its release date, since that's a cool piece of related trivia. - jerodast (talk) 23:34, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
Who started explain xkcd[edit]
Is there any tie with xkcd? etc

Advanced Mountain Bike Leader Award Precourse Questions
Advanced Mountain Bike Leader Award Precourse Questions
The Advanced Mountain Bike Leader Award course builds on your knowledge and capacities gained through the Mountain Bike Leader Award and since.There is a quite a jump between your Mountain Bike Leader Award and the Advanced Mountain Bike Leader Award Award.
In order to be fully prepared for this course, as well as building a logbook of personal and led rides, you should have extended your personal skills in navigation, maintenance and riding skills. This will significantly increase your chances of successfully fulfilling the Award requirements during your course.
Before your course:
Prior to your Advanced Mountain Bike Leader Award course can you ensure that you:
- Logbook - Have developed and written up your logbook with at least 12 personal rides, 6 led rides and an overview of at least 14 further leading experiences (not necessarily mountain biking). Ensure that you bring your logbook to the course.
- First Aid Certificate - Have a current and applicable First Aid certificate.
- Maintenance - Since your Advanced Mountain Bike Leader Award, you should have extended your maintenance knowledge. To aid you in this process, please work on your bike and try to adjust your headset. If you do not already know how to do this competently, follow the principles at our online support: Adjust your headset process.
We recommend that you make sure that your bike is then checked and verified by a competent person before you go on to ride it. Where this is not the case, ensure that you take it to a suitable cycle shop before further riding for your own safety.
- Navigation - You should also have spent time updating your navigation skills. Before your course, you should get a map and compass out and work through two aspects of navigation:
- Identifying the steepness of a mountain bike route using contours. More info on using contours
- Using a compass to take a bearing. More info on using your compass.

Conducting Research at UND
The University expects faculty/staff to continue their professional development through active participation in research and other scholarly pursuits.
Since the University resources available for such activities are limited, the University encourages faculty/staff to solicit and obtain funds from potential sponsoring agencies, such as federal and state government, private foundation, industry and business.
This external support is generally awarded as grants, contracts, or cooperative agreements, with the University of North Dakota as the responsible fiscal agent.
A faculty or staff member is named as Principal Investigator (PI), and is responsible for conducting the instructional, research or service project in accordance with the conditions of the award.
Two offices exist to facilitate the process of obtaining extramural funding and administering awards that are received: Office of the Vice President for Research & Economic Development and the Grants & Contracts Administration (GCA) office.

Speaking from experience, I'll have to disagree with you.
Well, I was speaking from personal experience as a storm caller.
Hi...and, my apologies. I didn't intend to ruffle any feathers. I probably didn't quite understand the direction of this thread.
Storm calling and rain making are interesting topics, however. They also have roots in many areas to include Wicca and Native American cultures. We have a NA spirit who stays in our front yard. I usually see him when I look out through the window on our front door. One day he was showing me a dance. He had feathers down both arms resembling bird wings and was dancing in a figure 8. I later learned that this dance is two turtles coming together and is used to summon rain.

VATICAN CITY — When the Vatican went online with its official Web site in 1997, it marked the start of the Holy See's digital revolution — offering anyone with an Internet connection copies of Vatican documents and papal speeches in seven different languages.
But despite its leap into the digital ether a decade ago, the Vatican sometimes still moves at a centuries-slow pace. As a result, many Vatican agencies started up their own Web sites and home pages to bypass the many limitations and inconveniences of being hosted on the Vatican's official portal.
Many of those sites, like the one the Congregation for Clergy unveiled last year or the one for Vatican City State, are colorful, informative, and easy to navigate.
Now the Vatican's Council for Culture has made a fresh revolutionary jump by uploading an excerpt from a recent Vatican press conference on Darwin and biological evolution onto YouTube.
Broadcast with the help of SRM-Science and Religion in Media, viewers can go here or watch below to see the culture council's president, Archbishop Gianfranco Ravasi, explain that Darwin had never been condemned by the Catholic church and that the scientist's theory of evolution is compatible with the Catholic faith.
The archbishop's talk is broken up into three segments and while the video is in Italian, English subtitles scroll across the screen.

Mizzou Adds to Impressive Fulbright Record
Andrea Miller, a native of Bonnots Mill, Mo., was among those selected to receive the grant and will conduct research on brown bears in Norway.
Six University of Missouri students will have the opportunity to study, teach and research in different areas around the globe after being awarded the U.S. State Department's Fulbright Scholarships for 2011-12. These six individuals add to MU's success with the prestigious award.
Mizzou had a record 24 applicants for the Fulbright this year, with 10 having their application recommended and forwarded to the host country, making them finalists. The 42 percent of applicants selected as finalists nearly doubled the percentage from 2010-11.
"Winning a Fulbright grant is a great honor and I'm excited to represent the United States in Norway," says Miller, who earned a bachelor of science in fisheries and wildlife from MU in May 2005 and picked up her doctorate in veterinary medicine in May 2009. "Wildlife veterinary medicine has been a lifelong dream that I look forward to realizing with this research."

By RAELYNN RICARTE
News staff writer
September 27, 2006
The Hood River Planning Commission has asked the City Council to consider removing a riparian protection zone from the lobby of a waterfront hotel.
However, the appointed body wants to ensure that new construction at the Best Western Hood River Inn will not damage resources.
The commission has forwarded the terms of a new plan to the council for review. At least one member of the appointed body is not entirely pleased about the current proposal that the boundary be scaled back from 75 feet to 21 feet.
Therefore, the commission is also requesting that a discussion take place on tying new ground-disturbing activity to the planting of native vegetation. The requirement for mitigation was dropped in a previous plan because it was felt to be unenforceable due to limited manpower.
On Tuesday, Oct. 10, the council will look at reducing the current setback from 75 feet to 21 feet. The meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the municipal courtroom at the junction of Second and State streets.
The existing boundary intended to meet the state Goal 5 planning rule incorporates Riverside Grill and its outside deck. The northern section of CEBU Bamboo Lounge is also included, along with the north-facing rooms along the west wing.
When the city imposed the setback in January, Tom Stevenson threatened a lawsuit or Measure 37 claim to protect his economic interests. He wanted the ability to move the swimming pool to another location, which is no longer allowed. He also stated the need to amend the structure if dictated by market conditions and creating a new footprint is also off-limits.
Stevenson contends that even Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development officials, when helping draft a prior protection plan, recognized the site was heavily used for recreational purposes and had little natural resources.
In addition, the business pays almost $400,000 annually in property and lodging taxes. And each guest is estimated to spend an average of $150 per day shopping and recreating in the area — thereby contributing to other businesses.
Stevenson expressed disbelief that the city would jeopardize the financial security of the Inn — especially when it was facing a budget deficit.
"To attach all these concerns to a fully developed parcel is irresponsible," he reiterated at the Sept. 20 meeting.
For the past nine months, Stevenson has put any legal move on hold to negotiate the terms of a new Goal 5 plan. He joined Bob Francis, city manger, in the belief that differences could be addressed outside of a courtroom.
However, Stevenson made it clear last week that little if any change would be tolerated to the recent agreement.
"We're happy to go along with what's in front of you. But, to be honest, if this doesn't go through council we're going to go in another direction," he said.
Stevenson delivered those words as debate arose over the potential problems of reducing the setback to 21 feet. That distance matched the northwest corner of the restaurant that was closest to the embankment. Stevenson and city staffers concurred that should be the beginning point of the amended boundary, in spite of the fact it prevented any expansion of the Riverside Grill deck, which sits 10-12 feet from the shoreline.
"At a staff level we felt overall that the proposed changes would not result in less protection," said Alexandra Sosnkowski, city attorney.
"I think we've negotiated in good faith and staff's done a good job," said Stevenson.
Commissioner Kate McBride disagreed with the new setback proposal. She said the City Council had already reduced the setback once. She was concerned that limiting it even further would bring development closer to the river.
"I guess my take is that there was a reason we recommended 100 feet and there was a reason they went with 75 feet. And I feel that 21 feet is not enough," said McBride.
Resident Linda Maddox, one of two citizens at the Sept. 20 meeting, agreed with McBride.
"I think this compromise is too generous," she said. "We live along one of the greatest rivers in this country and I'm concerned about the resources and any kind of degradation to the riverbank.
Commissioner Scott Kaden said the 13.38 acres east of the toll bridge, also primarily owned by the Stevenson family, had already been largely built-out. And the Inn had been constructed 40 years ago on fill material atop a rip-rap bank.
"I think it's a heavily modified landscape with limited resource value," he said.
Stevenson also reminded the planning commission that no setback was in place near the vacant Nichols Boatworks. In fact, he said the edge of the channel had recently been rezoned for commercial use, which included residences.
In January, city officials settled on the 75-foot setback as a "compromise" between the original Goal 5 plan — which put the Inn under no setback — and the demand for at least a 200-foot boundary by citizen activists.
In March 2005, the Preserve the Waterfront political action committee brought Measure 14-22 before the city's 3,381 registered voters. About 36 percent of the referendum ballots were returned with 747 voters in favor of throwing out the custom Goal 5 plan.
Within days after the passage of the measure, the Attorney General's office rendered the opinion that the vote was illegal.
However, the planning commission factored the "will of the voters' into its subsequent review process. And that led the group to decide that no new permanent development should occur within a uniform 100-foot swath along the Columbia.
The council then decided a 75-foot setback would ensure adequate protection. But that decision immediately drew fire from Stevenson because of the restrictions on his business.
He was not opposed last week to the idea of mitigating any new development. However, he said the grounds of the Inn were already being landscaped. So, that led him to question if new plantings would be required anyway — or whether a credit would be given.
"We are already mitigating, the buildings are already in place and putting rooms in front of rooms is not our plan," said Stevenson.

Cabin Fever RX: Carrot Cake at Drowsy Water Ranch

Labels: Colorado, Colorado dude ranch, cooking, Drowsy Water Ranch, Gretta Fosha
Mmmmmmm. I know what dessert will be tomorrow night. And breakfast the day after....perhaps lunch too if there's any left.
I learned a lot myself about tractors that night!! I think we read for over an hour with the fire going in the fire place!
Nothing like coconut and pineapple to remind you that it's winter in the Rockies!
Might I remind you that I was the one who made that cake when I was around?
And it really doesn't take much to make Jen laugh.
We made it Sunday for dessert, it was delicious. The cowboy cookies were a big hit here in London, Ontario Canada too.
There seems to be a real DWR baking theme around our house. Could be that Alex is counting the days until she is back at the ranch, 63 days I think. Post more recipes, lets keep her in the kitchen.

Dreaming and Cross Training
Well, the season is finally wrapping down. Sure there are still a few Cross races going on, but by in large if you are still pedaling, it is probably for fun. Sadly, depending on where you live, you may have even put away your bike for the year. That's already happened to a few of my riding friends who live up north. The snow is flying, winter is coming.
Here in the lower mainland, as long as you have some wet weather gear you can keep on pedaling. You know what they say… "there is no such thing as bad weather, just poor clothing choices". I've been able to keep up my morning rides with my hound in a nearby forest, despite it being pitch black these days. It seems especially dark on the rainy mornings, but Miss Molly doesn't seem to mind. She is happy to get out and start her day off with a good romp in the woods, regardless of what the weather is throwing our way. Between a good helmet light and a great handlebar mounted system, I am lighting up the world, or at least the world within a 150' radius in front of my bike. Other than the occasional green eyes peering back at me from the darkness, there's not too much out there. (hey, I'm not kidding. I've spotted deer and coyote. So far no bears this year).
Its bike to work week next week, so I'm hoping that excuse will keep my truck parked in my driveway all week. It's always fun to see others around the office here baring their teeth at the weather gods and commuting in on 2 wheels for the November week.
It's also a time of year where hopefully you can come up for breath, go and play and maybe even jump-start a cross training plan for the winter months. YES, get off your bike and go play. That's what I've been doing a bit of. I'm back on my 2 feet, doing something totally different. I've found over the years by doing something else for a few months it's a nice way to mix it up and help me keep the cycling part fun. I've been training for a marathon and have recently signed up for a 50k trail run on New Year's Day. I figured how better to kick off the New Year, right?
Please check out the story of Nick Geddes – Norco Factory Team Rider who was diagnosed with leukemia this spring and has been battling back ever since. Nick and his family have had some pretty low periods over the past 6 months, but he was just in building his new 2012 team bike and he looked fantastic. Life is valuable.. enjoy every breath. Don't take anything for granted. CARPE DIEM my friends. Enjoy every single day. You never know what life with throw at you.
Sunny skies and tailwinds to you all, especially to young Nick!
Bike To Work Week is Here
Bike To Work Week is again upon us. The momentum behind this initiative has been growing and as a result Vancouver BC has had not only a Bike to Work Week in June, but also a second event in November. Commuting is a 365 day a year possibility in many places worldwide and this proves it. October 31 – November 4th is Bike to Work Week in Vancouver. Not in Vancouver? go ahead and participate from anywhere. Vancouver residents can log their daily commutes at biketoworkmetrovan.ca but if you are not from Vancouver then I invite you to tell us about you commute by commenting on this article.
If you are in the Metro Vancouver Area and are participating in Bike To Work Week Norco, along with other shops, bike companies and volunteers will be taking it to the streets offering free tech support to all bike commuters. If you see a mechanic at any Bike To Work Week station, stop by with your bike for some free labour keeping your bike running through the winter commute.
In addition to free mechanical assistance, the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition will be set up around the city offering free snacks, beverages, literature and encouraging support to all participants. Besides supporting cyclists with daily commuter stations the VACC is also giving away 5 bikes and other awesome cycling prizes daily through the week long event.
So Vancouver has Bike To Work Week, but wherever you are, this is simply a reminder that you can and should ride a bike. Whether it is to school, work or even the coffee shop it is always a good time to ride a bike. Check with your local city or municipal website to get more information on bike routes, events and initiatives. There are programs everywhere that reward you for getting on a bike.
Riding Through the Recovery Process
In April 2011 while in California racing the Sea Otter Classic, I had an unexpected crash racing the Dual Slalom finals that ended up changing my life. Following a minor concussion I was taken to the hospital for further evaluation. A routine blood test revealed that I had leukemia. I was immediately transferred to Stanford Children's Hospital and after three days of further evaluation I was transferred and admitted to BC Children's Hospital in Vancouver. At BCCH I had a bone marrow biopsy and more testing and was officially diagnosed with T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia with Ambiguous Lineage.
Immediately following diagnosis I began Chemotherapy. The chemo was the first stage of my treatment then later became preparation for the second stage. On August 9th, 2011, after months of chemotherapy and six sessions of total body irradiation I was ready for a Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT). The marrow was a 6/6 match from an anonymous 24-year-old male donor as no one in my family was a tissue match. The procedure itself was rather anti-climactic. A small bag containing the bone marrow was transfused though a central venous catheter implanted in my chest over the course of just an hour. It was going to take a long time for my body to engraft the donor's bone marrow, and in the meantime I would need hemoglobin and platelet transfusions, plus numerous other drugs and painkillers just to keep my body alive and my vital signs stable. One of the side-effects of the transplant was that I developed large soars throughout my mouth and throat, it felt like I had been chewing on glass for hours. This in conjunction with nausea, weakness and other flue like symptoms took a toll mentally and physically. I was put on an IV for all of my nutritional needs since eating was going to be impossible. On top of two IV lines for nutrition there were anti-nausea, pain meds, anti fungal, and anti bacterial drugs all running into my catheter. For the first couple weeks I was so drugged up that I don't really remember what went on.
Slowly I started to become more lucid and aware as the days dragged on and I was gradually weaned from some of the meds. Going into isolation for such a long time was incapacitating for someone like myself who is used to being outdoors all day everyday. There wasn't much I could do in my room other than watch television, use the Internet and sleep. By Day 20 of isolation I was gaining a little bit of energy and started to use the spin bike that I had in my room. After 26 days of isolation I was finally able to leave my 8'x10' specially ventilated and pressurized room. The next 5 days were the worst because I was starting to feel a bit better and doctors were starting to talk about when I would get out. The worst part about this was that the doctors never were able to give an exact date, only a vague guess. Finally after much anticipation on Day 31 I was sent home.
I got home on the September 9th and nothing felt better than being able to get a full night sleep without being poked and prodded. As soon as I got home almost instantly I felt revived and refreshed. I was starting to eat more and more, every few days at home I seemed to be improving little by little. Although I haven't been strong enough yet to get out and ride my bike or exercise much, it is enough to be at home resting, trying to eat normally, having an occasional visitor, surfing the net until gradually I can resume more normal activities. In the next few months, I hope to get back to the gym so I can begin to rebuild all that I've lost over the treatment. My goals for the spring and beyond really depend on how far I come over the winter months. Ideally I'd like to be back racing at top form by mid-April but realistically it will be longer than that until I am in peak form again. The most important thing for me in my recovery will be the just get back on my bike and ride this winter and spring.
The latest installment on my recovery path just happened last week. Feeling more energetic, healthy and slowly gaining my strength back I made a trip out to Norco Headquarters. While I know I have a long way to go before I will be back on the racetrack the first step is getting back on a bike. The newest addition to my quiver of bikes is an all-new team spec Phaser. While the snow is starting to fall in my home of Whistler, I will be riding as much as I can in the Squamish trails this winter.
I want to thank the guys at Norco, friends, family, and my parents for all their support throughout the treatment period.
Cheers, Nick

Heather: The interns really determine their own success. We have a good rapport with CSULB and we like to maintain that. You know UCLA doesn't provide access to interns for interviews, and so we tell them that the first few weeks of the job ARE the interview (laughs). But we have had great success with our interns from CSULB, as evidenced by Jeff and Kendra's work.
SSW: Do you feel that working for LACDMH is more difficult than, say, working for a non-profit?
Kendra: It's important to keep that hope, that enthusiasm you have at graduation alive, because it is sometimes hard a few years into the job. And you will have one or two of those moments with clients and it will renew that hope. There is sometimes this enormous pressure with the non-profit to meet the grant goals that there isn't as much here.
Jeff: I read a statistic the other day that the average 'life expectancy' in Social Work was five years, before you burn out and move on to something different, and I thought, I'm two years into this – does this mean I have three years left? (Laughs)
But I don't feel that way. I feel like this place encourages creative approaches to working with clients. I have previously worked for a non-profit where the caseload was much higher, and the structure was much more rigid. I feel my best when I am able to do my best work, and I feel like I can do that here. There is a hierarchy here, of course but it does not feel as if there is as much division between the layers.
When I heard I won this award I thought, this is great but this is not just me, this is an award for the whole team.
Heather: It is definitely a team effort, and we try to make this as collegial a workplace as possible. We encourage this and this is what makes Jeff and Kendra the sort of worker who gets this kind of recognition, they bring creativity and enthusiasm to the job.
Kendra: I was so excited to learn that there was such a thing as Art Therapy, I wanted to be a part of it. And thinking of new, creative solutions is ultimately best for the client.
Jean: It is what has kept me here all these years, I was in teaching before this and I think those skills helped make my job easier here. I started in November of 1977 (almost 37 years ago) as an Intermediate Typist Clerk ("forgot" to mention my degree and teaching credentials), then suddenly remembered my degree and got the Recreational Therapist position with LBCAP 10 months later. DMH was still part of Health Services. So I've been with DMH since its inception.
SSW: Is this creativity something you seek out or cultivate in your interns?
Heather: Yes, definitely.
Jeff: Having the kids' art in my office makes it feel more like it is their space.
Heather: These kids come from places with little control, and this makes them feel empowered.
Jean: When they can look up and see some piece of artwork they created, you can see it their faces, they are so proud.
Jeff: You know, I have to mention, some of the 18 nominated Groups that were considered for these awards had 20 members. Kendra and Jean were a team of two!
SSW: Is there anything you would like to say to yourself back when you were a student at CSULB, if you could?
Kendra: I would say self-care is so important. It is so difficult to maintain that hunger and excitement to learn. There is mental fatigue as well as physical. And remember that you don't have to have all the answers – it's OK.
Heather: Right, you can always grab support from someone else, there are layers of support.
Jeff: You have to find ways to recharge. Like, I haven't told anyone this, but I always drop and do ten pushups before I meet with a client. (all laugh)
Heather: That's your secret weapon.
Jeff: Right, that's like Kendra standing on her head (laughs).
Kendra: That's true, I will practice Yoga to try and stay balanced and focused. You have to have something, take time for yourself, and this is ultimately good for the client.
SSW: Is there anything else you would like to add?
Kendra: It's a fulfillment of a dream for me to be able to do something like Art Therapy. It's so cool to be acknowledged for it, but it is rewarding just to see the friendships with the girls in the Art groups.
Jeff: I would just like to say, I have had adversity in my past, as many people have, but I realized at some point that you have to take your life into your own hands. If I can do this, anyone can.

I am curious to see exactly what this cooler looks like and how well it is going to be able to perform against the stock Intel HSF setup.
Closer Look:
Looking at the packaging for the Dynatron Genius CPU Cooler, you are going to get the impression that the cooler is built with a lot of quality by the way that the package is setup and using the all white look to it. The front of the package pictures an image of the Genius cooler to let you know exactly what it looks like. At the top right hand corner of the package, you are going to see the Dynatron logo with the slogan "The Thermal Solution Architect" printed under their company logo; in the opposite corner of the front you are going to see the Genius logo with the description "Desktop CPU Cooler" printed under it. Listed to the left of the image of the Genius cooler is where you are going to find a short description of the features the cooler has cooperated into it. At the bottom right hand corner of the front is the Core i5 and Core i7 badges to let you know that the cooler is compatible with these processors. The back of the package is where you are going to find a list of all the specifications that the cooler has such as different processors that are supported with the cooler. One of the sides of the package is going to display another image of the cooler and point out some of the highlights of the cooler itself while the opposite side of the package is going to give you a description and a list of features.
When you open up the package, you are going to find the cooler and all of the accessories encased in a molded plastic casing that is going to keep everything in place during the shipping process as well as make sure that any damages that may happen to the outside of the package will not hurt the Genius Cooler. When you take a look at the accessories that come with the cooler, you are going to find a user manual to help you install the cooler if you need help with it, you are going to find a tube of thermal paste in case you do not have any as well as a whole bunch of mounting hardware. The cooler comes packaged with the AMD bracket, and LGA 775, LGA 1156, and LGA 1366 mounting hardware that use the pushpin system. There is only one set of pushpins that you have to install on the bracket you wish to use.
Now that we know how the Dynatron Genius is packaged and what it comes with, it's time to take a closer look at the cooler and see what makes it unique.

Hey yall, i think it can be done if we all band together, im willing to do the brunt of the work in making a floating slider(a kicker is kinda way hard), for sherman, but there are many things missing. If anyone is interested post up and if we get all of the requirements filled i think we can actually make this a reality.
We can build the kicker and just leave it at the kite launch at sherman, we're probably going to need a boat to tow it out and anchor it, when its being used. Thats one the things we're going to need, a boat.
We'll also need a truck to transport the kicker to sherman.
As far as matierals and labor go, im willing to do just about anything as long as i know im not crazy and doing this for no reason at all.
crazy idea or what?

The 20th anniversary of Pavel Bure's first game as a Canuck was this past Saturday. Trevor Linden may be the greatest Canuck of all time, but Pavel was the best. At his peak, he made you want to catch every second of Canucks games (sure would be nice to have him on the team nowadays for those Minnesota divisional games…). Throughout his career, he was the fastest and most powerful skater in the league. He had Sidney Crosby's strength and Marian Gaborik's acceleration (and then some), combined with Alex Ovechkin's hunger for scoring goals.
Like many Canuck fans that grew up with the team in the 1990's, Pavel was the main reason why I was originally drawn to the sport. It didn't take any knowledge of strategies or rules to recognize that he was something special. Bure was one of the truly elite players who could make plays at top speed that most players struggled with standing still. He seemed to gain an extra few gears once he had the puck, and was a physical player when he wanted to be. His defensive awareness was better than he was given credit for, as well. Bure has kept a low profile in recent years, but he did sit down with Puck Daddy earlier this year to share his thoughts on the current status of the game.
In my brief biography for this blogging contest, I mentioned how my one mission in life is to see Bure in the Hockey Hall of Fame. While the statement was a tad hyperbolic, the fact remains that he needs to be in there. What better way to celebrate the anniversary than with a collection of Bure's best during his time with the Canucks?
10. The holdout controversy at the end of Pavel's tenure here unfortunately changed how he was perceived among many Vancouverites. He refused to play for numerous reasons (contract disagreement and unfair media treatment, among other things), eventually forcing a trade to Florida. For an extremely comprehensive read on the issue (as well as his entire career), I'd highly recommend the book by Kerry Banks titled The Riddle of the Russian Rocket. The book takes no stance, but presents a lot of information that was never shared with the public before.
Interestingly, Bure's agent while he was holding out was none other than Mike Gillis.
9. While Bure didn't technically wear a Canucks sweater at the 1998 Nagano Olympics, he was still a part of the organization at the time. His five-goal outburst against Finland will go down as one of the most dominant single-game performances in the history of international hockey. Bure managed to have a hat trick of breakaway goals alone. I wonder how many times that has been done, before or since? Look at how fast he goes from a dead stop to full speed for the second goal. No wonder his poor knees were unable to hold up….
He ended up leading Russia to a Silver Medal and finished with a tournament-leading nine goals.
8. On April 1st, 2009, a rumoured return to hockey for Pavel started circulating on the TEAM 1040. Many people chose to ignore the fact that it was April Fools' Day. The icing on the cake was Bure making an appearance on the BMac and Rintoul show to confirm his return (the pair tracked Pavel down at his home in Miami). Kudos to Pavel for stepping up to create one of the better April Fools' jokes in recent memory.
I haven't been able to track the audio down, but Pavel dead-panned his way through the entire interview. One of the more memorable lines: "I would be able to help the team in the shootout, at least."
7. The Bure-Mogilny connection never really took off, but the excitement and hype surrounding it in the summer of 1995 was something to remember. The Canucks gave up fan favourite Mike Peca in the trade, but they had managed to acquire Bure's former junior teammate and line mate, and a former 76- goal scorer. Unfortunately Bure's knee injuries interrupted the following seasons, but Mogilny was quite productive on some terrible Vancouver teams.
6. In 1993-94, Bure scored 60 goals for the second consecutive season. Other NHL players with back-to- back 60+ goal seasons include Phil Esposito, Mike Bossy, Jari Kurri, Wayne Gretzky, Steve Yzerman, Brett Hull, and Mario Lemieux. Some decent company there, especially for a non-Hall of Famer….
5. Bure brought excitement to Vancouver starting from the very first time he suited up at the Pacific Coliseum. For those in attendance, November 5th 1991 will be a day that won't soon be forgotten. He didn't find the score sheet, but Bure was all over the ice. Hockey in Vancouver was quickly taken over by Pavelmania:
4. Bure's performance in game five of the second round against the Dallas Stars in 1994 doesn't always get mentioned when discussing his best performances, but his two goals were the difference in the 4-2 victory, and ensured Vancouver's first trip back to the Conference Final since 1982. In that game, Bure also had a team-leading nine shots on goal. He was well on his way to building his reputation as a big game player.
3. The biggest elbow in the history of hockey was delivered by Bure on Dallas defenseman Shane Churla during the 1994 playoffs (the mother of all elbows, according to Don Cherry). How long he would be suspended for if the hit occurred nowadays? Bure had taken a ton of abuse from the Dallas players, especially on the shift before. Churla and Derian Hatcher had both gone out of their way to pummel him to the ice, and Bure exacted revenge the best way he knew how – with a devastating cheap shot.
2. Pave's creativity to try new things was always on display. The famous stick-to-skate move performed against the Bruins was in the preseason (so it doesn't get full marks if would have if he pulled it off in a regular season game), but it was the first time the move had been successfully pulled off in the NHL. Bure even had the guts to pull this move off (go to the 5:46 mark) in the Conference Final against Toronto.
1. "Jeff Brown, a long pass to Pavel Bure…."Was there really any other option? Capping one of the greatest comebacks in Canucks history, Bure broke through the Calgary defense and left Mike Vernon searching for his jock. Jim Robson's call on the goal was incredible. To quote Tom Larscheid, "This is the greatest moment in Vancouver Canucks history."
Pavel Bure was Vancouver's first true sports icon, and let's hope the Hockey Hall of Fame properly recognizes him for what he was: one of the greatest goal scorers in the history of the league.

Fall Lawn Care Tips
Lawns in southeastern North Carolina are suited to warm season turf grasses such as St. Augustine, zoysia, Bermuda and centipede. Caring for warm season turf grasses can be very different from caring for turf grasses grown in cooler climates. As warm season lawns get ready to transition into the dormant winter season, there are some important things that should be done, and others that should not be done, to keep lawns healthy.
Do NOT Fertilize!
Grasses should only be fertilized with nitrogen when they are actively growing. For warm season grasses this is during the spring and summer, not fall or winter. Fertilizing warm season lawns in fall or winter wastes fertilizer, encourages weed growth, and can intensify disease problems like large patch. In the cooler parts of North Carolina and the United States, cool season grasses such as fescue and Kentucky bluegrass are grown. Cool season grasses do grow during the fall and early spring, and require fertilization at these times. Commercials and ads about fertilizing lawns in fall are referring to cool season grasses only.
Do NOT Water!
Warm season lawns should not be irrigated after early September. Fall is the time when warm season lawns are shutting down for winter. Continuing to irrigate lawns during fall can increase cold injury during winter and encourage disease problems. The only exception to this would be if we were experiencing a fall drought, which is certainly not the case this year.
DO Control Weeds
Just as there are warm and cool season grasses, there are also warm and cool season weeds. Cool season weeds come up in the fall, live through winter, then flower and die in the spring. Most cool season weeds are annuals, coming up each year from seed, but a few are perennials. Cool season perennial weeds come back from year to year from roots that persist in the soil. Two of the most troublesome, Florida betony and wild onion, have started sprouting in yards over the past few weeks.
Like most perennial weeds, it is very difficult to control Florida betony or wild onion by digging them up. Repeated mowing can weaken these weeds but will not kill them. The only way to really get rid of most perennial weeds is to spray them with herbicides, but one application will not do the job. Instead it takes repeated sprays over a couple of seasons. To begin controlling Florida betony or wild onion in your lawn, spray them now and again in February.
Which herbicide to use depends on your lawn type. In zoysia and Bermuda lawns, wild onion and Florida betony can be controlled with herbicides containing a combination of the active ingredients 2,4-D, mecoprop and dicamba. Brand names for these products include Weed-B-Gone, Lesco Three Way, and Speed Zone Southern. These herbicides will also control many of the common cool season annual weeds that are coming up in lawns now, including chickweed, cudweed, and spurweed.
Centipede and St. Augustine lawns are sensitive to 2,4-D. In these lawns instead apply Image, active ingredient Imazaquin, to control wild onions, and atrazine to control Florida betony. Atrazine is sold as Purge II, Aatrex, and HiYield Atrazine. In addition to controlling Florida betony, atrazine will also control many cool season annuals weeds. Please note: Brand names are included in this article as a convenience to the reader and do not imply endorsement by N.C. State University nor discrimination against similar products or services not mentioned.

For the long term, the most effective way to control weeds in turf is to nurture a healthy, dense lawn by following correct cultural practices. These include mowing at the correct height, having any insect or disease problems correctly diagnosed before treating, sending soil samples to the N.C. Department of Agriculture to determine your nutrient or lime needs, and following turf care recommendations for your lawn type available on the NCSU TurfFiles website, http://www.turffiles.ncsu.edu (click on the Maintenance Calendar tab).

Three Approaches to Reform
Since changes to the law are necessary, there are three basic approaches to PERA that the Legislature and the new administration might take:
- Make one or more modest revisions to correct specific flaws in the law, while retaining the basic process of collective bargaining and the requirement that local governments bargain collectively.
- Undertake a thorough PERA overhaul that dispenses with PERA's mandate that local governments bargain with unions, and that leaves those governments free to bargain with unions at their own discretion, albeit with some restrictions to protect the public interest.
- End the PERA bargaining mandate and additionally prohibit collective bargaining in public schools and local government.
There are legitimate arguments for all three, and we will consider each in turn.

Air Force appoints first woman as superintendent of Air Force Academy
AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. – Maj. Gen. Michelle Johnson has been appointed to be the next superintendent of the Air Force Academy, the first woman to hold the job.
Academy officials said Friday the Senate must first approve Johnson's promotion to a three-star lieutenant general, the rank required to become superintendent.
It wasn't immediately clear when the Senate would take up her promotion and when she would assume command.
Johnson would replace Lt. Gen. Michael Gould, who has been superintendent since June 2009. An academy spokesman said Gould's plans haven't been announced.
Johnson is a 1981 graduate of the academy. She is currently NATO's deputy chief of staff for operations and intelligence.

This weekend, popular blogging site Tumblr has quietly released an official Tumblr application for the Android platform. For those who are unfamiliar with Tumblr, which admittedly included myself only 24 hours ago, Tumblr is a site that aims to make blogging as simple as possible, allowing users to post text, pictures, quotes, links, chats, audio, and videos to share with your blog followers. Tumblr has over 7,000,000 active subscribers, and over 5,000,000 blog posts posted today.
The Tumblr Android application provides users much of the same experience as posting on the standard web. Android users can now post pictures, links, quotes, audio, video and basically any other mobile content you can think of right to your Tumblr blog. Also, the official Tumblr app includes the dashboard, which contains all of your content (both posts and drafts of posts) as well as the content of any people you follow on the Tumblr service.
As I stated earlier in this post, I've only spent the last day or so testing out Tumblr, and so far I'm very impressed with both the web and Android service. If you haven't used another blogging service and are interested in starting a blog, have a blog but are looking for a new host, or have a Tumblr blog already, I'd highly encourage you to give the Tumblr for Android client a try. Methinks you won't be disappointed.
Tumblr is now available on the Android market, free of charge. The one catch is that you MUST have Android 2.1 or later to download. Fortunately, that should be most of you by now. As usual, let us know what you think of Tumblr in the comments.
Look for an official review in the coming weeks.

Camping World Set To Enter RV Transport Biz
August 15, 2013 by Sherman Goldenberg 4 Comments
In an effort to expedite delivery of some 30,000 units a year from RV manufacturers to Camping World Inc.'s 90-plus rolling stock stores, CW Chairman and CEO Marcus Lemonis says his Lincolnshire, Ill.-based company has decided to enter the RV transportation business — in a big way.
And although there are still plenty of details to be publicly fleshed out, CWRV Transport – in the planning stages for nine months now – has already done a wave of driver surveys in preparation for launching a billboard campaign this week (Aug. 12-16) around the RV-building center of Elkhart, Ind., to begin recruiting drivers in anticipation of a "game-changing" Sept. 1 launch.
The new transport operation is exclusive right now to CW dealerships, but, Lemonis says, could include other independent retailers at a later date.
"We are getting into the transportation side of the business, the logistics business, for the single purpose of improving our inventory turns," Lemonis, also CEO of Good Sam Enterprises LLC, told by RVBUSINESS.com. "So, today, it's not anybody's fault, but the process of getting inventory from the manufacturer to the dealer has really slowed up. And there's a shortage of drivers, and there's an increase in shipments.
"And when you have that confluence of issues, you know, we're seeing delays that could be 10 to 15 days from the time the manufacturer actually has the unit ready to the time we get it.
"What that means for us is we'll buy over the course of the year almost $800 million dollars of inventory, and when we look at missing one week, that's an appreciable cost. What we hope to do is cut the lead time from 14 days to seven or eight, and pick up that inventory, those dollars, and redeploy them at our new stores. We're opening 11 new stores in the next eight months. And as we look at ways to better manage our company, we know that we have to cut down on the lead times between the manufacturer and us."
In the final analysis, Lemonis claims CW's bold move into RV transportation ought to relieve pressure on manufacturers, his dealers and the other transportation companies who are "being yelled at and harassed to get stuff delivered."
A real key to the whole gameplan, meanwhile, is CW's plan to recruit drivers all over the country through its 1.5 million Good Sam Club members as well as four million Camping World RV and parts & accessories customers to whom CW will offer decent remuneration, fuel discounts and memberships.
The end result, Lemonis added, should be a greater pool of drivers for the entire industry, including other transporters.
"It's really a logistics business," he said, "and what we're doing is we're providing a pool of people from the Good Sam Club and current customers of ours who are looking for work. Retirees are looking for work; they like to get out on their own. And we're using our existing database to populate additional drivers for the industry.
"We think that Good Sam members and Camping World customers are perfect candidates for part-time transport work because they live the lifestyle – they understand it – and they're always looking for something to do. So, we really thought it made sense to kind of bring the RV consumer and the RV transport company together."
Although there will be an Elkhart office, Lemonis says Camping World is not setting up an entire infrastructure to facilitate its new transport initiative, but instead is "partnering with a number of people to kind of facilitate it." He declined to discuss further details about how this whole thing might work from an operational standpoint.
"This whole process is being run by people who understand the transportation business, not by Lincolnshire or Bowling Green (where CW runs its parts and accessories business)," said Lemonis. "This is a process that's being administered by people who know the space – out of Elkhart – people who know the transportation business and have really been recruited and positioned to help because shipments, in my view, are going to continue to go up."

Canadian Chamber Of Commerce Wants To Legalize Spyware Rootkits To Help Stop 'Illegal' Activity
from the this-is-a-bad-idea dept
a program that is installed by or on behalf of a person to prevent, detect, investigate, or terminate activities that the person reasonably believes (i) present a risk or threatens the security, privacy, or unauthorized or fraudulent use, of a computer system, telecommunications facility, or network, or (ii) involves the contravention of any law of Canada, of a province or municipality of Canada or of a foreign state;Basically, as long as you claim that you're going after someone for breaking the law, surreptitious installs are allowed. Geist points out the obvious: copyright holders will salivate over this.
This provision would effectively legalize spyware in Canada on behalf of these industry groups. The potential scope of coverage is breathtaking: a software program secretly installed by an entertainment software company designed to detect or investigate alleged copyright infringement would be covered by this exception. This exception could potentially cover programs designed to block access to certain websites (preventing the contravention of a law as would have been the case with SOPA), attempts to access wireless networks without authorization, or even keylogger programs tracking unsuspecting users (detection and investigation). Ensuring compliance with the law is important, but envisioning private enforcement through spyware without the involvement of courts, lawful authorities, and due process should be a non-starter.If this works in Canada, expect to see similar provisions start popping up elsewhere around the world in short order.
