The Golden Nugget of Tango
The Golden Nugget of Tango. Once long ago you were an itty-bitty Tango dancer. You could barely walk, the music was either intriguing or unappealing at best, one or the other. The very idea of going to a Milonga as a neophyte dancer where everyone and god could see just how much you were sucking raw eggs just about scared the bejeebers out of you. Then as you took a few classes, went to a few more milongas you started to feel like you knew what you were doing, sort of. You may have learned a few 'steps', gotten some feedback about what you're supposed to do from a variety of people, you were possibly exposed to a Traveling Ocho, and the Follower's Molinete (Leading and Following it), and most certainly the Argentine Cross. While at the same time, sort of seeing and hearing that there was an idea to the music but it was too vague for you to 'get' immediately other than there was a beat. You saw people dancing very close, and learned that this was called 'Close Embrace'. You learned about the line of dance, about navigation and floorcraft (not the same things by the way), and something called 'Cabeceo'…just to name a few. All along the way you made a few friends, people you enjoyed dancing with and enjoyed the learning process. And in the end you still feel like you had a lot to learn. This entire process of feeling like a 'Social Dancer' usually took anywhere from 6 months to a year at minimum, depending on the role you were dancing. And even less if you were role swapping right from the beginning!
What if there were another way ? What if you could have learned a way to Tango that encompassed all of that stuff, but quite literally took 1/10th the time! What if there were a particular pattern that you could use (as a Lead or a Follow) that would've allowed you to dance all the foundational vocabulary, that respected the line of dance, protected the follower, but wasn't repetitive at all unless you wanted it to be! What if there was a pattern that was insanely musical, highly extensible, and easily modified, and easily learned! What if ? Sounds like sales hyperbole huh ? Thank god it's not.
You would think that for the beginner dancer such a thing would be a god-send, for either role for a variety of obvious reasons! You would think that for the person that's been dancing a while, the advancing dancer who has already gone through that trial above, for either role, that they'd clearly love such a thing because it addresses 2 of their primary concerns: 1.) what do I next ? and 2.) I hope I don't screw up!
Enter The Golden Nugget of Argentine Tango.

What is The Golden Nugget of Tango ? It is a Tango Topics construct, meaning ? It is a very irregular piece of Tango vocabulary you won't find any other teacher or youtube video on it. It is one of the very few patterns or 'steps' that Tango Topics actively promotes as a very useful tool that you can take out social dancing today, right now! Unlike 98% of tango patterns that only work under certain conditions, The Golden Nugget can be used in all three dances, all night long, and never be repeated. Put simply this is everything you will ever need to know in order to dance Argentine Tango in one complete package. This is not sales boast, or sales hyperbole. It's demonstrable fact. The author is living proof of that fact!
The Golden Nugget (as it is affectionately called) contains the 7 basic 'moves' (seriously -> see the link) that you must master in order to dance. However, no one teaches it. And that's because until recently it didn't exist. Most Tango teachers will start you off with walking, and then possibly to Ochos, and then show you the dreaded '8 Count Basic' which leads to an Argentine Cross, and/or show you the Ocho Cortado as a place to start pattern wise. And in doing so you, the unwitting student will end up repeating, and regurgitating the same move over and over and over again which makes them appear like a dance studio baby. 🙁
The Golden Nugget on the other hand replaces all of that stuff. Every. Last. Bit. Not that you don't need to know walking, ochos, or crosses. No, you should study your walk. Not that you should not study your ochos and perfect them. You rightly should. Not that you shouldn't rightfully practice the Follower's Molinete. No. You should do all that stuff. That 'stuff' is insanely important and as every advanced dancer will tell you they're constantly revisiting their foundation to clean up their issues.
The Golden Nugget solves the two problems above as well. It removes the uncertainty of what to do next because that decision is quite literally embedded into the solution itself. It also removes the problem of not wanting to screw up either and forces you work on and try to execute better or cleaner technique.
This is the The Golden Nugget of Tango in broad stroke.
From A Following Perspective this is Side, Back, Back, a Super Ocho (Over-rotated Ochos), and then an Argentine Cross! Not too complicated. Right ? And that's because it's not. This is something that you've done 10,000 times. The difference here, and what makes learning the Golden Nugget useful for you is that it can and will challenge you to work on your foundation because it is all foundational work! Meaning ? You're going to want to hone your foundation on a regular basis in order to dance this seemingly simple but very complex piece of vocabulary. Unlike most steps, patterns, and figures that are useless for because they don't really do anything for you as a whole, the Golden Nugget does just the polar opposite. It forces you to revisit your foundation and to work on three key elements:
Your Back Step. What Follower couldn't use a bit more work on their back step. And have space and time to actually create an elegant back step that makes you look like a million dollars ? Every Follower wants that. The Golden Nugget allows you to work on that independent of the Lead! Just the steps themselves, gives you something to practice, an idea to focus on in your back steps!
Your Ochos. Every Follower needs to work on their Disassociation and then their Applied Disassociation which when put together can be executed as an Ocho but in it's component elements allows for so many more options and opportunities for the Follower to expand their capabilities!
Your Crosses. There's never enough time to actually work on this stuff. Really. Usually we end up with 'Dirty Crosses' but what would happen if you had a piece of vocabulary that you could immediately teach to a lead that would allow you to work on the Argentine Cross and your crosses and at the same time ? Would the be of interest to you ? Because the Golden Nugget is insanely extensible you are never assured that the cross will occur in the same place twice! Which forces to actually listen to the lead AND then put that cross into it's proper place not just because you KNOW there's supposed to be a cross there!
From a Leading Perspective the Golden Nugget is all about Tango toys for you. 'Toy' in the respect that it means options and opportunities to do different things, as well as create a sense of certainty with what can happen next.
Frequently most leads are stuck as to what to do next, so they end up doing the same things over and over again which essentially boils down to, on a crowded dance floor, turn, turn, turn, cross, turn some more! Turn to the left, turn to the right, vary the speed of the turn, then cross and then start again. At some point along the curve this same lead is thinking they need to be on beat, and very distantly they're thinking about floorcraft.
The Golden Nugget solves all of those problems in three very distinct ways because it opens the doorway to:
Line of Dance & Floorcraft. You're going to have to learn about this stuff eventually and the Golden Nugget reinforces this idea without there being a conscious thought or someone dictating to you that you must follow the line of dance. Because of it's singular linear nature, you're going to end up following the line of dance anyway. As a result of the execution of the Golden Nugget you will reinforce good Floorcraft skills, again mostly without the need to have someone dictate to you. But rather as a happenstance of the structure of the Golden Nugget itself.
Versatility. While the basic of the Golden Nugget for you is really leading the Follower to execute Side, Back, Back, a Super Ocho (Over-rotated Ochos), and then an Argentine Cross! The fact is that you do NOT need to do this pattern in exactly the same way over and over again. Truth be told you can execute this in nearly any fashion you like! You could for instance execute Back, Back, Side, Super Ocho, Super Ocho, and then an Argentine Cross! Or Argentine Cross, Forward, Side, Side (change directions), Back, Back, Ocho, Ocho, Ocho, Super Ocho, Cross. It can be taken apart and put back together in almost any order you like. And because there other implied movements within the structure it's easy to add them…which leads to the next idea.
Extensibility. The Golden Nugget allows for you to not only change the order or how things are done – to modify them, and the timing, but also to add, drop-in other ideas like: A forward traveling ocho, a molinete instead of a cross at the end, or in the middle because of the Super Ocho lends itself very well to being turned into the Follower's Molinete. There's a possible Lead Molinete there as well, as well as a Calecita right at the point of the Super Ocho. There are a host of Sacadas (nearly a hundred common ones of the 501 possible Sacadas) on nearly every step including the Cross for both roles. There are Incremental Steps nearly everywhere, which work well on the back and side steps. There are Check Steps too that are sitting there! There are implied Rock Steps on nearly every step, except for the Cross. There's even an Ocho Cortado that's sitting there out of the cross! All possible if you just expand your thinking a bit.
And all of this is accessible and addressable to the music that's playing in any tempo. Any Tempo. Any Style of the Music: Tango, Vals, or Milonga! It works extensively well in milonga as well. Why ? Because Milonga Porteña is usually danced in the linear, and the Golden Nugget is linear and very briefly is it circular!
dancing in a small space ?
Deeper Extensibility. You can go much deeper than the typical Golden Nugget, by adding Golden Nugget Extensions (for just $24.99). Essentially it's playing with the Follower's Extensions (hence the name), as well as the Lead's possible extensions as well. It uses the Golden Nugget as the guide point, and then plays with every possibility that you can think of and some that you haven't! Both products (the Golden Nugget AND Golden Nugget Extensions) can be purchased as a bundle for just $69.99.

From a Dancing Perspective the Golden Nugget is a dancing cornucopia if for no other reason because of its extensibility! Whereas most patterns or sequences must be done in the exact same way each and every time which is why you must learn multiple multiples of them in order to seem like you're dancing to the music and not just regurgitating the same idea over and over again. As a result of that regurgitation the Follower quickly knows your spiel, they know what you're about to do. They could literally set their watch by it. The Golden Nugget on the other hand is anything but repetitive!
A Little Story. When I first learned this my teacher sent me out into the Tango world almost immediately afterwards (after spending about 5 days on it) and I went to my 1st milonga. I sat there most of the night without the intention to dance because I knew I wasn't ready for it. Along about midnight and the end of the milonga a friend that came with me asked me to dance and I freaked right out. She finally pulled me to the floor and I had to dance. So I tried the only thing I knew – The Golden Nugget (mind you it wasn't called that then). 4 steps in and I ran into people, I crossed lanes of dance, I even stepped on some poor lady's foot! I went back to my teacher the next day and said "this f*cking thing doesn't work!!!!". He smiled and asked "Why not ?". I told him what had happened the night before. He laughed and said, "Miles, you oriented the wrong way going down the line of dance and instead…." can you guess ? I went across the lanes of dance! I could have screamed. I learned a very valuable lesson that day, one that would carry me forward. Not all is at it appears and to investigate why something works! I hadn't. From that day to this one. I always ask….always.
The Missing Information. There's a free tip (for registered free users) that's not here because you're not logged in. If you were logged in, you'd see a free tip, but because you're not, you're not seeing it. So ? If you want the free tip, then go register as a free user and login. 🙂 However, if you want the toys, and to see the 31m:16s HD quality video on how to properly lead & follow a Golden Nugget and all the toys that go with it. Then you have 2 options. 1.) You can get a $10.00 discount if you register as a free user, and then buy it with the discount code contained here that you can't see yet. or 2.) You can subscribe!
Watch It On Youtube ? Why should you pay for this video, or subscribe to this website when stuff like this is available on Youtube ? Because what you'll find on Youtube doesn't explain and walk you through the how the Golden Nugget works! That's why!
So, please, go right ahead, go watch all the presentation videos on youtube all you want. Because that's what they are 'Presentation' videos. The couple's that you're used to seeing are performing for the 15th row for a room full of people, they're not social dancing. Whereas this website is all about 'Social Dancing'. So please, go spend your time, trying to infer, and figure out how things may work in that situation. Bend your body this way or that, twist and force this position or that. Place your foot here or there and figure it out. Which can be a lot of fun, but more than likely it won't help you, because you're missing something: The explanation from an experienced teacher! (ahem) ME! The goal of youtube videos is to entice you to go study with those teachers in person. The goal of these videos is allow you to work at your own pace, in the comfort of your own space, so that you can play them over and over again to improve your understanding of the vocabulary or technique being described to therefore better your dancing experience. The goal of classes and workshops is to get you to come back over and over and over again, thereby spending more money with that teacher. This website and the videos under it are here to act as a resource for you to help you to improve your dance. Pay once and be done with it. 😉
Eventually, one way or another you're going to pay for this lesson, either here and now, or with them. TANSTAAFL! The difference between that lesson and this ? Is that you get to play this lesson over and over and over again. Further still, there are supporting materials (other videos) that help to explain the language and the underlying technique.
In an hour long class, with the blind leading the blind through rotation of partners (uuuggggh!), you may glean a piece of the information you need and not get the whole thing, and you'll miss important pieces that you'll end up having to take a private lesson for to get the finer points. This way, you can watch over and over again, and get all the supplementary materials, and if you want you can still go take the class, only you'll be better prepared to do so!
The Last Word. Tango Topics is little reminders and snippets of information that your teachers would have told you about but didn't have time to or didn't care to remind you for the umpteenth millionth time. Do you need videos like these ? Yes. Why ? Simple…you need as many reminders as possible in as many forms as you can get. In today's Tango world it does take a village to raise a dancer. And that means having as many voices, reminders, ideas, concepts, perspectives as possible. This video and the rest of the ones that are sitting behind the Tango Topics paywall are that. While what you're seeing above is only the smallest hint of what's contained in the actual video. It should be enough for you to make a reasoned and intelligent choice that perhaps there's something of value in this site and the videos that are here. Considering becoming a Gold, Gold Plus, or Diamond level subscriber today.

Activists hold march to protest lack of access to HIV treatment
Activists hold march to protest lack of access to HIV treatment
By Kali Villarosa, BAI Contributing Writers
DURBAN, SOUTH AFRICA — As the last overflowing buses pulled onto Dr. Pixley Kaseme St. recently, chants and cheers already filled the air. Passengers disembarked onto the large Durban, South Africa, roadway packed with thousands of people, ranging from elders holding canes to babies strapped to their mother's backs, most wearing HIV Positive t-shirts, regardless of their status.
Participants in the "Quality Treatment for All" march spoke numerous languages and U.S., Mexican, Swedish, Peruvian and South African flags blew almost in rhythm to the many dancers moving through the crowd of mostly women.
The march marked a water-shed moment, a reminder of unfinished business, as young and old joined the protest marking the 16th anniversary of the 2000 Durban International AIDS Conference (and March), the first time the international AIDS gathering had taken place in Africa. Though the atmosphere was positive, the march itself sent a clear message; even 35 years after the beginning of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, the fight to end AIDS is far from over. The Treatment Action Campaign, the March leaders and organizers, created a list of demands calling for:
- Quality and comprehensive access to treatment for all people living with HIV;
- A functioning public healthcare system;
- An end to patented medication which makes the price of medicine unaffordable to many;
- A stop to criminalization and discrimination of key populations, such as injection drug users, gay men, sex workers and women and girls;
- Increased international funding for AIDS.
Despite the seriousness of the demands, the protesters' cheers, laughs and diversity, sent another message: though the epidemic remains, the energy and willingness to fight have not been lost.
"I am here to support the women and children of South Africa," stated Andiswa, a 16-year-old Durban student who attended with her grandmother.
"We want to help by encouraging them. We don't want anyone to turn back at this point," said Faith, from Kenya, who wore a matching Keep the Promise shirt with her 10-year-old daughter.
"We want more commitment, we want more effort, and we want everyone to get together to get rid of AIDs." Kali Villarosa is entering her junior year at Skidmore College, interning this summer at the Ford Foundation, and this is her third time reporting from the International AIDS Conference.

Estimating leaf area index (LAI) of gum tree (Eucalyptus grandis X camaldulensis) using remote sensing imagery and LiCor-2000.
Mthembu, Sibusiso L.
MetadataShow full item record
The use of remotely sensed data to estimate forest attributes involves the acquisition of ground forest data. Recently the acquisition of ground data (field based) to estimate leaf area index (LAI) and biomass are becoming expensive and time consuming. Thus there is a need for an easy but yet effective means of predicting the LAI, which serves as an input to the forest growth prediction models and the quantification of water use by forests. The ability to predict LAI, biomass and eventually water use over a large area remotely using remotely sensed data is sought after by the forestry companies. Remotely sensed LAI values provide the opportunity to gain spatial information on plant biophysical attributes that can be used in spatial growth indices and process based growth models. In this study remotely sensed images were transformed into LAI value estimates, through the use of four vegetation indices (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Corrected Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVlc), Ratio Vegetation Index (RVI) and Normalized Ratio Vegetation Index (NRVI). Ground based measurements (Destructive Sampling and Leaf Canopy Analyzer) relating to LAI were obtained in order to evaluate the vegetation indices value estimates. All four vegetation indices values correlated significantly with the ground-based measurements, with the NDVI correlating the highest. These results suggested that NDVI is the best in estimating the LAI in Eucalyptus grandis x camaldulensis in the Zululand region with correlation coefficients of 0.78 for destructive sampling and 0.75 for leaf canopy analyzer. Visual inspection of scatter plots suggested that the relations between NDVI and ground based measurements were variable, with R2 values of 0.61 for destructive sampling and 0.55 for Leaf Canopy analyzer. These LAI estimates obtained through remotely sense data showed a great promise in South African estimation of LAI values of Eucalyptus grandis x camaldulensis. Thus water use and biomass can be quantified at a less expensive and time-consuming rate but yet efficiently and effectively.

This project involves a tamale bike and a shipping department.
We love the opportunity Kickstarter offers to include the whole country in this project. Very often, tamales are thought of only during the year-end holidays. We believe they are too good for that. In Santa Barbara, we say anytime is tamale time! There are lots of excellent tamale makers (and happy eaters) across the country who surely agree with us. Since this is a family project, let me start by introducing ourselves to you.
Our Family and Tamales
In 1869, William Henry Lambert arrived from New York to build a homestead just south of Santa Barbara. He probably ate his first tamale soon after that. I am the great, great, great, great granddaughter of William Henry, and I think he'd love the tamales we are making now.
From those days to this, Santa Barbara has been a big part of our family's life, and we're all huge tamale fans. Beach parties, potlucks, Fiesta celebrations, anytime we get together there's the fragrance of freshly-made tamales in the air.
The Business Opens
During my great aunt's 90th birthday party in 2012, family members joked that it was time our home city had a tamale named after it. We voted and that's how Santa Barbara Tamales-To-Go was born. My grandfather, Richard Lambert, became the company owner and he oversees the daily operations.
We have attracted a loyal and growing group of customers, mostly by word of mouth. Our tamales are now enjoyed at many of the wine tastings, food festivals, and Fiesta celebrations throughout the Santa Barbara area. Our philosophy is simple. We use fresh, sustainable foods from our local farmers to create tamales with great flavors for our customers to enjoy.
Our commercial kitchen is open seven days a week. Customers place orders by phone and the tamales are made to order, then delivered hot from our steamers. This system helps us provide truly fresh tamales.
Fun to Eat
Every tamale we make is seventy percent filling, so they are always plump and moist. We use just enough masa to hold all that filling inside and make them fun to eat. We also wrap our tamales in clean parchment paper and tie the ends with colored ribbons, so you'll know which flavor you are unwrapping.
Mexico's Tamale Queen
Our tamales combine family recipes along with traditional techniques my grandfather learned from Beatriz Ramirez, Mexico's celebrated "Tamale Queen." He traveled to her tamaleria in Mexico City where she taught him her ways of creating authentic tamales. He blended her methods with his own to develop our distinctive new look tamales.
Kickstarting Our Mission
We are seeking $13,900 to help us kickstart our project. This will fund our new tamale bike and also create a shipping department to reach tamale fans all across the country. The tamale bike, located near the beach and downtown shopping area, will help us bring tamales to local pedestrians and visitors alike. The shipping department will give us a chance to share Santa Barbara tamales with folks throughout the country.
We already have the commercial kitchen, equipment and supplies, food permits and licensing. We are also purchasing a new mobile ordering system and smart phone for the bike, along with bike storage facilities. Kickstarter funding will enable us to bring all these together and serve more tamales to more tamale fans.
Creating Opportunities
I am in my final year at school. As our business grows, I'm proud that we'll be able to give other students the opportunity I've had to develop culinary skills and gain firsthand business experience. This includes partnering with Santa Barbara City College on a student internship program. We are also registered with Santa Barbara County's Workforce Resource Center to provide employment apprenticeships for young people seeking a culinary career. After we reach our Kickstarter goal, we will also expand our commitments to these organizations we support...
Casa Dolores, Elings Park, Julia Child Foundation, Lobero Theatre, SB Chamber of Commerce, SB City Parks Department, SB County Food Bank, SB Foundation, SB Museum of Natural History, SB Rescue Mission, Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation, Villa Majella, Westmont College.
300 Tamales
Our tamale bike is designed to hold as many as 300 tamales. There is also a refrigerated section so we can offer cold drinks and keep our salsa containers cool. Icicle Tricycle (Portland, Oregon) is helping us design the bike to meet our local health code requirements.
Be the First...
When our new shipping department is ready, we'll be able to deliver tamales anywhere in the country. Be the first in your neighborhood to bite into a Santa Barbara Tamale!

Please Join us
We receive your pledge with genuine appreciation. If you aren't prepared to contribute financially, please join us anyway. Introducing this project on your Facebook page, or tweeting the link to this page is a big help.
Risks and Challenges
There are risks to our backers and challenges for us only if this project is funded, so let's say we are successful.
The reward tiers focus on offering our tamales in return for pledges. We make tamales daily in our kitchen, so we will have the challenge of increasing our volume to accommodate the Kickstarter pledges in addition to our regular ongoing sales. We do have room in our current facility to expand our operation, so our primary need will be to hire and train new employees.
The risk to our pledged backers whose tamales will be shipped rests with the completion of our shipping department. In my grandfather's previous 30-year career, he managed an international shipping department for his firm, The Idea Bank. His experience and first-hand knowledge will help us get our shipping department up and operational quickly.
The biggest risk and challenge in the food business is making it through the first year. We are in our third year now, and with the help of Kickstarters like you, this one promises to be truly special.

text: (please relocate if in the wrong thread) Okay, so I'm refurbishing this G1 Jetfire and it is HELL on me. Why? Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. My life hasn't been totally ruined by it... but it's made some things difficult, and others impossible, que cera'. I've been working on and off on sanding up this Jetfire for about 2 years now (yes...years...although some of that is due to lazy, not CT). Smoothing out dents, scratches, and making parts flush before I repaint, but i sorta gave up because the sanding motion was just hell on my hands. I could do it about once a week for 30 minutes and I was done. TOTALLY disatisfying. It's hard to do something you like when you know it's going to hurt, and to be honest, keeping my hands in shape for work was more important. I've got a Dremel, and I tried using that, but even at it's slowest speed it was too brutal and uneven on plastic. One day, while loafing about I saw a commercial for this cheezy-assed thing: http://www.sonicscrubbertvoffer.com/ Initially I ignored it, then saw another commercial and got to thinking. That could make an awesome sander with just a little work. After reading online and seeing some people were fairy satisfied with it I went out to the local Wal Mart and found it with the mops and sponges. It was only $10, so what the hell. I took it home, Dremeled off all the bristles from one of the heads, and used some Gorilla glue to fix a fine Dremel sanding disk onto the stump of a head, they were the exact size so it attached perfectly. It's working better than I hoped it would, the motor is surprisingly strong. It doesn't make a complete rotation, but twists back and forth in about 5/16 in. arcs, feeling almost like a tiny orbital sander. i have it mounted to my worktable with a clamp and a rag to cut down on vibration. I've got a bunch of other replaceable heads, some larger, which I may also alter...and I see now the website had some with removable pads that weren't there in the store so if someone else gives this a try I'd recommend ordering those instead of butchering one of the other heads. I'm guessing when this sanding pad wears down I'll try gluing on another and see how that works out. I'm including a close up scan of what the sanding looks like on a piece of clear acrylic, with a dime for scale. So anyway, I just wanted to share this for those that may be interested, it's cheap, and it's gonna let me finish this project a lot sooner than I hoped.

From the September 17 BMJ:
Developing clinical guidelines: a challenge to current methods, Rosalind Raine, Colin Sanderson, Nick Black
BMJ 2005:631-633, doi:10.1136/bmj.331.7517.631
Current methods for producing clinical guidelines are cumbersome and not always reliable. Could a more streamlined approach improve coverage and make decisions more transparent?
Summary points
The translation of research evidence into guidelines has barely been considered
Formal consensus methods used to develop guidelines lack sufficient transparency and reliability, and the process is too cumbersome to be sustainable
A new approach is suggested which makes the goals, reasons for disagreement, and degree of consensus explicit
Inclusion of a survey stage enhances reliability
Meetings of the development group are limited to three to ensure sustainability

Cubs announce 2011 minor league managers and staff12/16/2010 1:36 PM ET
The Chicago Cubs today announced their minor league managers and coaching staffs for the 2011 season, which includes Bill Dancy taking over at Triple-A Iowa, and a new coaching staff at Double-A Tennessee led by manager Brian Harper, a former catcher for 16 big league seasons.
Here's a look at the Cubs minor league coaching staffs. Managers/staff returning to the organization but assigned to new positions next year are listed below in bold, while managers/staff new to the organization are listed below in bold italics. More information on the returning members of the Cubs organization can be found on pages 175-187 of the Chicago Cubs 2010 Media Guide.
Dancy will manage the Iowa Cubs after last season earning the 2010 Southern League Manager of the Year award and helping Tennessee advance to the Southern League Championship Series. Prior to 2010, he spent 30 years as a coach or manager within the Philadelphia Phillies (1978-2009) and Kansas City Royals (2009) organizations, and his 1,604 career minor league victories rank fourth among active minor league skippers. Mike Mason will serve a fourth term as Iowa's pitching coach while Von Joshua returns as Iowa's hitting coach for the sixth-straight season. Matt Johnson enters his fourth season as the club's athletic trainer and his 10th year in the Cubs chain.
Harper takes over at Tennessee after leading the Single-A San Jose Giants to the California League Championship in 2010, his first season as a minor league manager after serving as San Francisco's roving catching instructor in 2008-09. Harper batted .295 in 1,001 big league games from 1979-95 and made World Series appearances with the Cardinals in 1985 and the Twins in 1991. Harper's staff includes Marty Mason, who spent the last 25 seasons as a coach in the St. Louis Cardinals system, including the last 11 as the major league bullpen coach. Mariano Duncan, a 12-year major league veteran infielder (1985-97), joins the organization as the club's hitting coach after five seasons as the Los Angeles Dodgers major league first base coach. He was a member of two World Series champions, the 1990 Cincinnati Reds and 1996 New York Yankees. Nick Frangella enters his eighth season in the Cubs organization and his fourth as athletic trainer for Tennessee.
Buddy Bailey returns as Daytona's manager for the third-straight season after leading the team to a 139-135 (.507) record in his first two years. A minor league manager for 22 years (with the Cubs since 2006), Bailey previously worked in Boston's (1991-2004) and Atlanta's (1982-1990) organizations. The former catcher managed at the Triple-A level with Pawtucket (1993-96, 2002-04) and served as Boston's big league bench coach in 2000. Bailey will be joined by pitching coach Tom Pratt, who also enters his third season with Daytona, and hitting coach Barbaro Garbey - 2011 will be his first season with Daytona after serving as Peoria's hitting coach in 2009-10. Peter Fagan joins the organization as the team's athletic trainer, and brings 27 years experience having worked in the St. Louis Cardinals (1982-2000) and Houston Astros (2001-10) organizations.
Casey Kopitzke enters his third season as a minor league manager in the Cubs chain, his second at Peoria after leading the team to a 71-66 record in 2010. He made his managerial debut in 2009 with Boise after two seasons as the Cubs minor league catching coordinator. Former major leaguer Jeff Fassero takes over as Peoria's pitching coach after handling the same duty for Boise last season. Fassero went 121-124 with a 4.11 ERA between Montreal (1991-96), Seattle (1997-99), Texas (1999), Boston (2000), the Cubs (2001-02), St. Louis (2002-03), Colorado (2004), Arizona (2004) and San Francisco (2005-06). Ricardo Medina, who previously coached with the Dominican Summer League, Mesa and Boise, will serve as the team's hitting coach. Aaron Larsen, with Boise in 2010, begins his first year as Peoria's athletic trainer.
Former catcher Mark Johnson will begin his managerial career with Boise after enjoying 16 professional seasons (1994-2010) on the field, including 332 major league games with the White Sox (1998-02), Athletics (2003), Brewers (2004) and Cardinals (2008). He most recently completed his second stint with the Iowa Cubs having appeared with the team in 2005 and 2009-10. Assisting Johnson will be the team's pitching coach, David Rosario, who was with Peoria last season. In addition, Desi Wilson enters his fourth season in the Cubs organization, his first as Boise's hitting coach, after serving as Mesa's hitting coach in 2010. Bob Grimes will begin his 27th year in the system as the team's athletic trainer after three seasons in the same capacity with Daytona.
Juan Cabreja, who is in his eighth year with the organization, begins his third season as Mesa's manager while Rick Tronerud returns for his 16th year with the Cubs, and his 11th season as Mesa's pitching coach. Former Cubs pitcher and 13-year major league veteran Frank Castillo joins the club, assisting with pitching coach and minor league rehab duties. The righthander compiled an 82-104 record and a 4.56 ERA with Chicago (1991-97), Colorado (1997), Detroit (1998), Toronto (2000), Boston (2001-02, 2004) and Florida (2005). Former outfielder Jason Dubois also begins his coaching career, handling hitting coach duties for Mesa. Originally selected by Chicago in the 14th round of the 2000 Draft, he logged major league playing time with the Cubs (2004-05) and Indians (2005) and was with Iowa last year. Steve Melendez, in his 26th season with the organization, returns as the club's athletic trainer for the fourth season.
The Cubs will again run two clubs in the Dominican Summer League. The first team will be managed by Manuel Callado for the second-straight season while Leo Hernandez will be the team's pitching coach in his 16th year with the club. Alberto Garcia will be the hitting coach for the second-consecutive year. Robert Jimenez is the team's athletic trainer.
Yudith Ozorio will manage the second Dominican squad, the same position he held in 2010. Anderson Tavares will handle pitching coach duties for the fifth-consecutive year while Leo Perez and Franklin Blanco will take on hitting coach duties. Perez begins his third season as a coach in the Dominican while 2011 marks Blanco's fifth year with the organization. Wilkin Perez will serve as the club's athletic trainer after spending the previous two seasons in the Nationals organization.

There is this theory we were taught in level 2 about how to identify the problem in a plied yarn. When you hold your skien up and it twists, that is a sign of unbalance. Well, of course it is, you say. But did you know the way it twists will tell you about exactly where the unbalance sits? Like if you spun your yarn zzS (single single PLY) and it twist in the Z direction then your yarn has to much ply or to little single twist. And if your yarn, spun the same direction, twists S direction then your yarn has to little ply or to much single twist. Confused yet? Well, it confused me. It still did until this morning. So I did an experiment.
I took a chunk of commercial top and split it (Sorry Marg!!) into four strips. With two of them I spun the ever livin' love out of them. There were snarls and kinks and it felt like rope in the single. I then plied it sooooo lightly to force it to be outta whack. And I tell you, it is.
The other two strips I barely spun. I think I put 1 treadle into 2-3 inches. Not much twist at all. Then I plied it beyond rediculously tightly. I think it nearly has an angle of 90'. This most certainly will make any yarn unbalanced as well.

Midfield star Naby Keita has revealed he rejected several top Premier League clubs, including Arsenal and Liverpool, over the summer in favour of a move to Germany.
The 21-year-old revealed that he turned down the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal in favour of a move to RB Leipzig, where his contract lasts until 2020.
ICYMI ? Watch as #BLMVP candidate Naby #Keita revels in bagging a ???? as @RBLeipzig_EN beat #Bremen. #RBLSVW https://t.co/gn6Nounwkr
— Bundesliga English (@Bundesliga_EN) 24 October 2016
Since moving to Germany, the Guinean midfielder has had a successful start to life in the Bundesliga, scoring three times in six appearances.
"Arsenal, Manchester City and Southampton were all interested in signing me and Liverpool as well, although I did not speak with their coach," Keita told SportNet.
"I did not want to join a big Champions League club right away. It is too early for that. I want to prove myself in the Bundesliga first now."
Before moving to Germany, Keita was at Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg for two years, making 80 appearances and netting 20 goals in all competitions, winning a league and cup double for both the seasons he was there.
The youngster made his debut for his native Guinea in 2014 against Mali in an African Nations Championship qualifying match and has 12 caps and three goals for his national side.

On Sunday, May 3, all THC historic sites will offer free admission—from the National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg to Casa Navarro in San Antonio, and from frontier forts along the Texas Forts Trail to the Magoffin Home in El Paso. With 22 diverse sites across Texas, chances are there's a fun Texas heritage experience waiting for you next door or within an easy drive.
The sites below will offer special programming as part of the annual Historic Sites Free Day.
Caddo Mounds
Alto—about 25 miles west of Nacogdoches; 2.5 hours southeast of Dallas; 2.5 hours north of Houston
Caddo Indians known as the Hasinai built a village 1,200 years ago, the southwestern-most ceremonial center for the great Mound Builder culture. Today, three earthen mounds still rise from the lush Pineywoods landscape at Caddo Mounds State Historic Site, where visitors discover the everyday life and history of this ancient civilization. On Free Day, an expert on native plants and foraging will offer two guided, hour-long walks at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. showcasing edible and medicinal plants on the grounds of Caddo Mounds. Also, the East Texas Chapter of the Texas Master Naturalists will have a booth and special activities. For more heritage tourism sites in the area, visit the Texas Forest Trail Region website.
Confederate Reunion Grounds
Mexia—about 45 minutes east of Waco; 1.5 hours south of Dallas; 2 hours north of Austin
This year offers a poignant opportunity to visit Confederate Reunion Grounds State Historic Site, near the 150th anniversary of the Civil War's end (May 9 is the "official" declared end of the war, although hostilities had largely ceased by April 1865). The site will host an open house with refreshments and a hospitality table provided by the Friends of the Confederate Reunion Grounds. Visitors can enjoy the grounds and landscape that provided a meeting place for Confederate veterans in the decades following the Civil War and learn about efforts these soldiers and their families took to maintain a fellowship as the world changed around them. For more heritage tourism ideas nearby, visit the Texas Brazos Trail Region website.
Landmark Inn
Castroville—just west of San Antonio; about 1.5 hours south of Austin
Built in the 1840s, this unique bed and breakfast is closed for preservation work until fall 2015. But Landmark Inn State Historic Site will be open and staff will hold free hard hat tours from 1–4 p.m. on May 3. If you love the nuts and bolts of historic preservation, the hard hat tour offers a unique opportunity to see state-of-the-art restoration efforts on a large scale. For more heritage tourism ideas, visit the Texas Hill Country Trail Region website.
Sam Rayburn House Museum
Bonham—just east of Sherman/Denison; about an hour north of Dallas
Home of the legendary Sam Rayburn, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and one of the 20th century's most influential politicians, the Sam Rayburn House Museum maintains his 1916 home with his family's furnishings, his 1947 Cadillac, vegetable garden, and more. It's a snapshot into the private life of one of Texas' greatest politicians. The museum will serve refreshments to visitors all day on May 3. For more heritage tourism ideas in the area, visit the Texas Lakes Trail Region website.
Starr Family Home
Marshall—about 2 hours east of Dallas; 45 minutes west of Shreveport, La.
Starr Family Home State Historic Site highlights the contributions and lifestyle of the Starr family, who created a thriving land management business across Texas after the Civil War. Free programming on May 3 focuses on the family's history of gardening and nature.

The latest wildfire to break out near Chernobyl has consumed 130 hectares. It started on June 29, and it is unclear whether it is still burning or not.
Experts have recorded 0.0025 becquerels of Cesium-137 per cubic meter of air. The inspection found that it is beyond the measures usually observed.
According to the Ukrainian Ministry of Emergency Situations, the fire in the Chernobyl exclusion zone continues, firefighters are unable to resolve the situation. (link)
Air near the desolated settlement of Polesskoye in the Chernobyl zone is contaminated with the radioactive element cesium-137. Its content in the air has reached a level called "sequence above the norm" (approximately ten times the norm), the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine (SNRI) reported on Wednesday.
Cesium-137 is one of the most dangerous nuclear elements, as it accumulates in the body and can lead to leukemia. (link)
The radiation risk involves the fire spreading to areas closer to the plant. But there is no danger of a new explosion.
Fire near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine poses a danger to the surrounding regions, expert of the Polish branch of Greenpeace Jan Haverkamp told TASS on Thursday.
"We are monitoring the situation. Fortunately, the fire has not yet reached the NPP reactor zone. It's very dangerous that everything is happening in the nuclear power plant area. If the fire spreads there, a huge amount of radiation will get into the atmosphere," he said. "It's a risk, but the risk primarily to Ukraine, Russia and Belarus, as they are located in close vicinity," Haverkamp said.
According to him, there will be no explosion, similar to the 1986 accident, and Eastern European countries, including Poland, have now nothing to worry about.
"We welcome the efforts of Ukrainian authorities that are doing their utmost to prevent the fire from spreading," the expert said. (link)
Meanwhile, iodine-131 continues to spew out of the destroyed Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan. I-131 started rising in April, and it was detected in Scandinavia in early May.
These readings from Niigata prefecture sewage sludge in June indicate the highest level of I-131 since September 2013 (which was gnarly).
Sludge from Fukushima prefecture shows that I-131 was rising in the later part of May:
A surge in iodine-131 emissions indicates a recriticality is taking place. It also means that the corium is heating up. This isotope causes thyroid cancer and other thyroid and pituitary diseases.
And an emission event was observed yesterday by the webcam watchers at Enenews:
July 1, 2015 at 9:50 pm Log in to Reply
Alert for radiation readings this week:
People watching the webcams have reported an event ongoing at Fukushima
Pure water, Majia, Nuckelchen, Horse, irhologram and many others are posting images and describing an event with:
yellow gases coming up from the ground
black smoke
Pink skies, etc.
Fallout from such an event would likely hit the west coast by July 4th, and the rest of the U.S. thereafter.
Some of their images:
Majia has a good summary of this event on her blog.

We arrived in sunshine and were able to sit outside the caravan for lunch before going on the hunt for food (having made a special trip to our 'local' Sainsburys 8 miles away I then forgot to pack all the goodies!). Our hunt took us into Hebden Bridge and what a delightful place it was - lots of independent shops
bridges and the river
I was delighted to find a Lloyd Loom laundry basket for £12! It fits perfectly in our bathroom and will be in use once it is painted up and I have put a lining in
We had certainly picked the right day to go and wander round as we woke to hear the patter (?) of rain on the van roof Saturday morning. We decided to go over to Oxenhope, the start of the Keithley and Worth Valley railway as there was an engine steaming up at 11am. Unfortunately we arrived too late to wave it off so made do with a mooch round the station
It was beginning to brighten up so we retraced our route and went back into Hebden to find Mooch a little cafe/bar I had found on the internet where we enjoyed a lovely lunch
By the time we had finished the sun was out, so we drove up towards Hardcastle Craggs, put on our walking boots and walked up to Gibson's Mill. A fascinating place which when it was no longer producing cloth became a center of entertainment, even having a roller skating rink on it's top floor. You can read more about it's history here
Inside the mill the National Trust have recreated the tea room at the top
Sunday was blue skies and sun so I suggested that we might go back to Oxenhope giving ourselves enough time not only to see the 11am train steam up but to be on it in order to travel down the line to Haworth. David being a great steam train enthusiast was very pleased with the idea.
We just had enough time before our return journey to walk up through the park into Haworth. We have been there before but not for a long time so it was nice to re-visit it.
It was all very 'vintage'. We spent a lot of time peering into shop windows seeing things that we remembered from childhood. All too soon we had to get back down to the station and we hadn't even had time for a coffee! The views down through the park made up for that though
A very nice way to end the weekend and just what we needed before our trip to Portugal for Charlotte and Angus's wedding - and on that note I need to finish packing.
Quinta da Arriaga here we come

Hello lovely people! I've missed you so much, I've missed all of this. But I think some time off did me good. I like to do things as well as I can and when I think something isn't as good as it should be, I get really stressed over it. And that was sort of what happened with my blog. I was rarely happy with the way the photos looked, with the way I looked in them, the quality... And I also felt like I didn't put enough in it. So I realized taking a break for a while would be better than everything just collapsing later.
In this time "away", I worked on all of that. Because it's not about being the best, it's about growing and improving. Reaching goals isn't everything, sometimes the journey is more important. I started this blog because I thought it would be fun and it would be a great way for me to discover myself, my style and work on my self esteem. Things don't have to be perfect, honestly I don't even believe in perfection in people, but sometimes it's hard to not be overly critical of the work you do. It's okay if I miss a post, if I don't have time for it sometimes, if the photos aren't exactly the best,... I've come to terms with myself and hopefully that means, that I'll be blogging with pleasure from now on.
Okay I just wanted to keep you up to date, but now lets go onto the outfit I have for you today. I've got a bit obsessed with sequins in the past month or so and I found this gorgeous matching sequin top and skirt and I absolutely adore both of the pieces. They are quite loud and out there, but that's just how I like my clothes to be. If I'd gone out on nye, this would have been the outfit I'd wear. I can still wear this stunning combo to school though. Because it's quite cold outside I also threw a white blazer over it and my long grey coat on top (it's not in the pictures bellow).
As you may have noticed (some of you may already know this), I've cut my hair short. It's something I've been wanting to do for ages and I think my hair has never looked better. It looks healthier and this hairstyle suits my face better.
Okay I think that should be everything, enjoy the photos and I'll be back with a new post soon!
Photos taken by: https://www.facebook.com/urospresernphotography
I'm wearing:
sequined top - H&M
sequined skirt - H&M
white blazer - H&M
platform sneakers - Buffalo
Thank you for reading!
Love you guys so so much and thank you for all the lovely messages I've received while I've been away. XX

This is Eric B Jorgensen, and this podcast is a tale of an epic adventure.
Eric spent the summer kayaking from the northern tip of Norway, where it meets Russia, all the way down the coast, up and around Sweden and the Gulf of Bothnia, to the point where Finland meets Russia.
And he's only been kayaking a few years.
I wrote about Eric when I first recorded a podcast with him in March, about his trip around Denmark in winter. He was then preparing for the big one.
And guess what helps to keep him going? These podcasts. Nice to know they help in some way...

Quites from DHW forum:
Thank you.
I haven't said anything about this, but Officer-Michael John is the most annoying person I've ever encountered on the Internet. I've found it so irritating how he has been flooding these forums with hundreds of topics asking how to do things no one cares about. And his messages look like they have been machine-translated. I haven't said anything about it, because I'm nice. Write by Matthew.
First of all, you've been repeatedly warned by me and other moderators for duplicate posting and spamming. Secondly, I warned you for being warned about [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], but rather than complying you went ahead and mouthed off to me. WRONG MOVE. However, I went easy on you and gave you a two-day suspension for your insubordination, but the day you come back you start acting like an asshole. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
I think we should remove his link. No need to advertise his forum here. Write by TheTalentedMrLeo
I did not like these behaviors. Please help me.
Thanks:Officer-Michael John

text: What do Bette Davis, baseball, and New Year rats have in common? Theyre some of the subjects recognized in the Postal Services 2008 stamp program. The new stamps will eventually make their way to Addison County post offices. Flags of Our Nation: In mid-June, the first of this multiyear series of 60 stamps will begin to wave in Addison Countys post offices. The series highlights the Stars and Stripes, 50 state flags, five territorial flags, and the District of Columbia flag. Celebrating Lunar New Year: The 2008 commemorative stamp program launches in early January by celebrating the Chinese Lunar New Year with the issuance of the Celebrating Lunar New Year: Year of the Rat stamp. Charles W. Chesnutt: Later in January, the 31st stamp in the Black Heritage series honors Charles W. Chesnutt, a pioneering writer recognized today as a major innovator. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings: Best known for her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Yearling and her memoir Cross Creek, Rawlings will be commemorated on Feb. 21 at the site of her Cross Creek, Fla., home. American Scientists: Some of the most impressive scientific achievements of the 20th century will be recognized in April when the American Scientists stamps are issued. Astronomer Edwin Hubble (1889-1953) will be among the stellar scientists. American Journalists: Five journalists who risked their lives reporting some of the most important events of the 20th century receive their stamp of approval in April. Old Blue Eyes: The Postal Service honors Frank Sinatra (1915-1998), an Oscar-winning actor and a supreme interpreter of American popular song. Sinatra was a native of Hoboken, N.J.,where the Post Office was renamed in his honor. Wedding Hearts: In 2008, two 2007 Wedding Hearts stamps featuring vines that form the shape of a heart. These stamps are designed especially for mailing wedding invitations and RSVPs and are sure to add an elegant touch to invitations and response cards. Bette Davis: Film diva Bette Davis becomes the 14th inductee into the Legends of Hollywood series on the 100th anniversary of the year of her birth. A consummate actress with a magnetic screen presence, Davis (1908-1989) played a wide variety of powerful and complex roles during her six-decade career. The Art of Disney: With the help of some of Walt Disneys famous animated characters, these four stamps, scheduled to be the fifth and final in the Art of Disney series, illustrate the theme of imagination. Take Me Out to the Ball Game: One of the most popular baseball songs of all time, Take Me Out to the Ball Game celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2008 on postage late next summer.
