President Joseph I. Castro has appointed Frank R. Lamas as the new vice president for Student Affairs at Fresno State, effective July 1, 2014.
Lamas, who has more than 30 years of administrative experience in higher education, has been vice president for Student Affairs and dean of students at the University of Texas at Arlington for nearly nine years. A native of Havana, Cuba, and raised in Syracuse, N.Y., he is a first-generation college student.
"Fresno State is known for providing a student-centered environment and helping students attain their goals," said Lamas. "I'm very pleased to be joining the team of faculty, staff and administrators that will continue to make Fresno State a university of first choice for students in the Central Valley and throughout the state."
"I was very impressed with the student leaders I met during my visit to Fresno State," Lamas continued. "I am looking forward to getting to know the student body and providing the programs, services and activities that will assist them to be successful students, in their future careers and as community members."

SUPPLIER FOCUS: Stunning Tipis for Couples Planning to get Wed in the South East of EnglandTweet
In Supplier Focus, Tipis, Tents and Marquees
When The Stunning Tents Company opened its flaps in 2004, the only tents couples could hire for their outdoor weddings were either those horrid plastic framed marquees with plastic windows (so not eco friendly) or the ubiquitous traditional canvas marquees. Now don't get me wrong, a traditional pole marquee is lovely, I think the canvas is beautiful and it suits lots of couples, but not everyone wants to have the same look for their wedding - white, traditional, guy ropes and coir matting. The trend for more unique and individual weddings was gathering pace and the idea of starting a business supplying innovative structures to creative people was a revolutionary one way back then.
A yurt, a small teepee and Ouled Nail were quite unique at the time but it quickly became clear to the team that couples needed bigger structures to entertain their guests and protect them from the weather. So, after a world wide search for something both large and equally 'stunning', the tipis that the company still uses today were found in the far north of Sweden. Made using natural canvas and sustainable birch poles, the large tipis were considered a great 'green wedding' option so they placed their very first order - 6 Giant Hats followed, creating a bit of a stir and the original wedding teepee team began supplying their their tents to 'stunning' outdoor weddings around the UK. It was at about this time that Green Union was first established and I met the team at The Stunning Tents Company for the very first time …
And I was blown away by the tents, both by the spaces inside and their adaptability and I still love them. The solid wooden poles and a light tan-coloured canvas produces a natural ambience that's really like nothing else. A lot of other people were impressed and a new trend in wedding tents swept the country!
Over the years the lovely team at The Stunning Tents Company have creatively adapted their tents to suit every whim, designing, developing and testing new techniques for linking the Giant Hats, including the famous Firecracker, which takes the tipi to a new level of event. It creates a single structure up to 30m wide!
They also started to design and manufacture other items such as their custom built weather proof tipi-coloured walkway and solid oak double doors to name just a few. With their collection of innovative furnishings such as wooden tables, benches, reindeer skins, rustic furniture, cushions, cowhide upholstered ottomans and fire places, they can transform the tipis into beautiful summer spaces or warm and cosy winter venues. In fact nothing will deter the crew and regardless of weather conditions I know that, with their track record over the years, they will deliver 100% of their bookings on time and with a smile, albeit a soggy one, at times!
Warm welcome to our wedding directory Stunning Tents
"Just to say how delighted we were with the Tents, the Little Hat and all the bits and pieces that went with it. Dave and his team were great putting them up as were the others taking it all down on Monday, and everything went so smoothly. The wedding day was magical as was our party on the Sunday - in the dark the tents looked spectacular, so beautifully lit and so atmospheric. With very many thanks and best wishes." Richard and Sally, Brighton, April 2015

I'm Aaron Backman, a Seattle based Recruiting Manager working for a software consulting firm in the area. I have had the amazing chance to work in so many industries and had exposure to many different approaches to recruiting talented people.
I started in the recruiting world supporting tech-giant Microsoft, while supporting them I wore many hats and my day to day activities were all over the board, and never boring. Working for global giants, and startups alike gave me some great insight to how hiring is done in across industries.
I've had the chance to work on the agency side as well as corporate side recruiting environments, with teams who had no HR all the way up to companies with 100 recruiters and countless support personnel. My current niche is supporting Software Development, but in the past I was centralized on hard to find and highly skilled engineering and high-volume hiring of logistics talent. I like to take the human approach to hiring, it is such a stressful time and process for candidates and companies alike – so why not do everything you can to make it as painless as possible for everyone?!
During my work days I spent the majority of my time researching how I can be better at my job, and I learned along the way that there was a strong disconnect between the "thought leaders" and the "do-ers" and it has always bugged me. I appreciate the perspective, and the guidance that a CHRO can provide, though the advice given to front-line professionals like you and me has never really given me any solid take-away. I want to share what it is really like to be a recruiter who cares about what they do, the people they work with and help others navigate through the many hurdles we all face.
When I'm not talking to Software Developers about the cool things they're working on I am at home with my husband, garden, and PS4 or out camping somewhere.

Cooperatively updated knowledge bases as an optimal medium to learn, publish, evaluate and collaborate
Year published
MetadataShow full item record
We argue that cooperatively updated formal or semi-formal knowledge bases (semantic networks) can and should be used as a shared medium for the tasks of researching, publishing, teaching, learning, evaluating and collaborating, and that students, teachers, researchers, decision makers, employees and other information providers or consumers, teams or individuals, could and should be performing very similar tasks and use very similar tools. This does not mean that traditional methods (e.g., face-to-face teaching and document publishing) should be replaced by knowledge-based methods but that they should be complemented by them whenever this is possible. To support our claims we have designed a knowledge-based server (WebKB-2) implementing the ideas that we propose and we have begun applying them to our own research domains and to several courses in our university. Although we have implemented this server as a Web server for practical reasons, the same techniques could be applied to a semantic grid, a learning grid or a peer-to-peer network.

My first baby graduates from high school today.
Please allow me a minute to catch my breath.
It's seems like only yesterday I was putting Taylor on the bus to elementary school. I don't remember shedding many tears that day. Maybe because I was too busy chasing after his younger brother, who had only two speeds at that time, full-speed-ahead and asleep. Actually, that hasn't changed.
Tay was never much for going anywhere fast. He rode his bike but never recklessly. He played soccer for many years, but he usually played goalie. He's been studying karate since the age of five and has learned a great deal of discipline and control, which fits his personality to a T. This summer, he'll be testing for his black belt. Not a fast process but he's hung in there and all that hard work will pay off soon.
In eighth grade, when he decided he wanted to run cross country, his dad and I looked at each other with raised eyebrows. Sure, we run--my husband a lot faster than me--but Tay had never shown any interest. We were both pleased that he'd taken an interest in something both of us love. He was never the fastest kid on the team. In fact, he was one of the slowest. We didn't care and neither did he. For Tay, cross country was more about the team. They were a good group of guys and we will miss those Tuesday meets come fall when Tay goes to college.
He's easing into that as well. He'll attend Penn State Berks Campus and live at home for the first two years. I must admit I'm happy to have him around for another two years. If he were going away to college, we wouldn't have the opportunity to go to concerts and shows and movies as much as we do now. I know that day will come, though, so I'm grateful to have more time with him.
When he goes to college, he'll be studying physics. As an English major, I can tell you how to spell it and where the word is derived from but I have no idea what it is or what you do with it. Tay does. He actually enjoys math that looks like so much alphabet soup to me. My husband and I both come from a writing background. We have no idea where Tay gets his love of science. We're just happy he's able to pursue it.
So congratulations, baby, on finishing this first part of your life. Just don't rush into the rest of it.

Salman splashing colour everywhere
By: Raymond Ronamai
Friday, October 19, 2007
Salman Khan's latest interest in not pretty girls but brush. Yes, his paintings had earlier earned him good money. Now, he is going to splash colour to his latest film Saawariya, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor and Rani Mukherjee in the lead. He is planning to paint his idea of the film. The painting is expected to be out before the release of the film on November 9.
Adding more colour to his life, he has coloured his hair red. Maybe he thinks love is in the hair, as he is known for experimenting with various kinds of hairstyle. Besides colouring, he has signed a new project with mega production and distribution house Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd, which is releasing Jab We Met featuring Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor, on November 9.

Romney limps to a hollow victory, Santorum gets his anti-Romney surge, Bachman is gone and Perry might as well be, Gingrich cancelled his result watching party and some silly person voted for Cain. But among the many shenanigans at the Iowa caucus, we saw the strange phenomenon of normally Democrat voters registering Republican to vote for Ron Paul.
Although his final result was perhaps a disappointment compared to the indications of the initial exit poll, Paul still came third with 21 percent. Now, a lot of the (often incredibly zealous) support for Paul is hardly surprising; clearly for any Libertarian Paul is something of a dream come true.
Although his final result was perhaps a disappointment compared to the indications of the initial exit poll, Paul still came third with 21 percent. Now, a lot of the (often incredibly zealous) support for Paul is hardly surprising; clearly for any Libertarian Paul is something of a dream come true.
But Democrats? People who support Obama in '08? Going from voting for a man who was proposing an economic stimulus to a man who believes so much in the power of the free market he'd like to do away with loans for students and have universities operate purely on market mechanisms?
Paul won't win the Republican nomination (It's gonna be Romney. It was always going to be Romney. By the time he gets the nomination he's going to look incredibly weak, but it's still gonna be Romney). But it's interesting to examine why people we would presume are progressive are lending their support to the Libertarian (and, potentially, what this says about their perceptions of and opinions on the Obama administration).
His any-war message is a big deal to a lot of his supporters; Obama being seen as pro-war because of his intervention in Libya (which I personally think was brilliant, but anyway…), as is his emphasis on freedom and civil liberties (while Obama signed an extension of the patriot act). This perception of him at the candidate of none intervention and freedom is one that understandably appeals to progressive voters.
And there's no denying of his personal appeal; he seems to be a man of genuine belief and integrity (though I may not agree with his beliefs I would concede that he seems to be a good person who believes in the principles he preaches). This goes hand in hand with the perception of him as the candidate "not in the pocket of wall street"; exactly what this means to different people, and in what way Obama is in the "pocket of wall street" varies; but it has become a concept with significant weight and significant appeal to many, including the anti-banking and big business thinking of some on the left.
It should also be noted that his belief in states rights go someway to undermine some of his more socially liberal policies; he may believe in gay marriage or a more liberal policy on drugs, but as his belief would be that he, as president, should stay out of those issues, his presidency would not make such laws more likely. And his reputation as the incorruptable defender of liberty and peace is not entirely water-tight.
This, though, does not change the perception of him as the socially liberal and incorruptible alternative to Obama, whatever the flaws in this perception may be.
But what happened to "it's the economy, stupid"? Is that not the key issue on which voters make their choice, in the majority of the cases? And in that case, why would Democrats make such a dramatic shift? Are we to assume that former Obama supporters supported him over social issues but were economically right wing, and now Ron Paul gives them a candidate who fuses those two values?
This still seems problematic in the implication that their support for the Democrats in '08, then, was based not on the economy but on social issues.
So then, what? Perhaps it is that, though people's primary reason for voting is on the economy, it is not on economic principles. Swing voters are most likely to vote for the incumbent if the economy is doing well, and for the opposition if it is not. And perhaps Ron Paul brings enough personal appeal while not being the often true stereotype of the crazy anti-gay, anti-contraception, creationist Republican to entice less ardent (and maybe less economically knowledgeable) Democrats to do the same.
This is just speculative; I still find it close to un-understandable that a supporter of the occupy movement would also support Paul. But I do not think support for Paul from progressives is a mark that they are suddenly opposed to medicare or anti-discrimination laws or really want the free market to rule supreme (of course, many of Paul's supports would like that, but I would argue this isn't true of those who normally support the democrats). This speaks more of a dissatisfaction with Obama's record on civil liberties (which I would argue is over hyped and largely ridiculous; getting rid of don't ask, don't tell anyone?) and a generalised feeling of a need for a change of direction in the economy, rather than actual support for the change Ron Paul would like to see.
And I still maintain that the real winner of the Iowa caucus was Obama; very little could have helped him more than the entire farce that has been the race for the Republican nomination so far. But the support from liberals for Ron Paul is still an interesting phenomenon, that may prove useful study for both the Democratic and Republican parties.

The Widget:
Court: First Circuit
Judge: Lynch
Subject: Town Meetings
Tone: Dismissive
Importance: 6.1
There was a scintillating sequence during last night's controversial YouTube debate among the Republicans running for President. One of the questioners asked that the various candidates compare the size of their respective sexual organs with those of their competitors.
What? The question was about how many and what types of guns they owned? Either way, get ready for a lot more gun-related questions as the U.S. Supreme Court contemplates the Heller case. It's the sexiest case of this term, the one in which the justices will determine whether people have an individual right to keep guns in their homes.
But even if the gun owners win the Heller case – and they almost definitely will – they should keep in mind that Courts have profoundly limited the manner in which we exercise even our most precious individual rights. Take today's fascinating decision in Curnin v. Town of Egremont, 1st Cir. No. 07-1786, as Exhibit A.
The case involves the free speech of rights of non-residents at a classic
Really. And the First Circuit cites a Supreme Court decision supporting this view of the law. That's a big limit on the exercise of First Amendment rights, no?
Some Second Amendment enthusiasts just might consider canceling those Stinger missile orders they placed after the Supreme Court agreed to review the Heller case. Unless, of course, the Supreme Court adopts a more expansive view of Second Amendment rights than First Amendment rights. Which would be shocking.

Police say "in excess" of 50 people were killed when a gunman shot into a crowded music festival on the Las Vegas Strip, making it the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The Las Vegas rooftop sniper has been shot dead, with little known about him other than he was a white male from Las Vegas. But police are also looking for 2 other people as well. They are Marilou and Geary Danly, a married couple with ties to the anti-Trump Resist movement and Obama's Organizing For America group. This a developing story and we will keep you updated as more information becomes available.
UPDATED 11:33 AM – ISIS now claims responsibility for the attack, says shooter was "recent convert to Islam"…
UPDATED 09:36 AM – In a statement, police said that "approximately 406 people were transported to area hospitals and 50 are dead following Sunday evening's shooting. Among the dead is an LVMPD officer who was off-duty at the time. His name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin. There were also two on-duty officers injured, one of whom was upgraded recently from critical to stable condition. The other sustained non-life threatening wounds."
UPDATED 09:13 AM – Shooter was on 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas, not on the rooftop as originally reported. Reports now coming in of a woman in the concert audience shouting out to people that "they were all going to die" moments before shots started. We now also know that shooter Stephen Paddock had been in the hotel as a guest since last Thursday, presumably taking all that time to prepare a war room from which to attack. So it would appear that the attack was well planned out and methodical.
Las Vegas Metro police identified 64-year-old Stephen Paddock as the gunman in the mass shooting. Police confronted Paddock on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel-casino after the barrage of shots were fired Sunday night. He was killed by police.
Sheriff Joe Lombardo said Paddock is believed to be the lone shooter. Police said he lived in Mesquite, Nevada, which is located outside of Las Vegas. Police also said they have located a person of interest, Marilou Danley, who was identified as Paddock's roommate.
More than 200 people were wounded in the shooting.
Among those killed were two off-duty officers attending the concert, said Lombardo. An officer working at the event was critically injured and another was wounded, according to the sheriff.
Police stated the city's largest hospital, University Medical Center, is at capacity with other trauma units taking in the overflow. Fleeing attendees were also being picked up on buses and being sent to UNLV's Thomas & Mack Center arena for shelter.
Video from festival attendees showed hundreds of people fleeing the area. The shooting took place as country artist Jason Aldean performed on stage.
ABC News reported people were fleeing to the nearby airfield at McCarran Airport as the chaos took place. Witnesses reported hearing possibly hundreds of shots fired in rapid succession. Multiple ambulances were flooding the area to help victims.
A temporary groundstop was initiated for Las Vegas' McCarran International Airport for departing and arriving flights.
There were reports of active shooters at other hotels on the Strip, but those were not confirmed by authorities and it was not immediately clear if the reports were a result of the mass chaos in the area.
Las Vegas Metro police offered a hotline for families who are looking for their loved ones. That hotline is at 1-866-535-5654. source

text: DALLAS -- It's been two years since the New England Patriots have won a Super Bowl. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Indianapolis Colts haven't been the problem, although those two AFC rivals have captured the last two NFL championships. Attrition has been the problem for the Patriots -- good players have been leaving New England at a faster clip than good players have been arriving. Forty-five different players started in New England's three Super Bowls in 2001, 2003 and 2004. Only 16 of those starters remain. Veteran Pro Bowlers Corey Dillon, Ty Law, Willie McGinest and Lawyer Milloy all became salary-cap casualties. Fellow Pro Bowlers Damien Woody and Adam Vinatieri left in free agency, and Super Bowl MVP Deion Branch was traded. That departure of individual greatness has chipped away at New England's dominance this decade. The Patriots lost in the AFC semifinals in 2005 and the AFC title game in 2006. The Patriots have come to the realization that they need more than the aura of Tom Brady to win championships. So coach Bill Belichick has loaded up for what appears to be a one-year run with one of his busiest off-seasons ever. He traded for pass catchers Randy Moss and Wes Welker, and signed Pro Bowl linebacker Adalius Thomas in free agency. On paper, the Patriots are again the most talented team in the AFC. So put them atop the annual off-season rankings by The Dallas Morning News. 1. New England The Patriots have not had a 1,000-yard receiver since 2001 yet have one of the NFL's best passing games, never finishing lower than 12th in Tom Brady's five full seasons as the starting quarterback. Even in 2006, New England finished 12th without a difference-maker on the flank. Reche Caldwell led the Patriots with 61 catches for 760 yards. How good would Brady be with elite receivers? We'll find out in 2007 with the addition of five-time Pro Bowler Randy Moss, Miami's leading receiver Wes Welker and former first-round draft pick Donte Stallworth. Final 2006 rank: 2 2. San Diego The Chargers were the NFL's most talented team in 2006 from September through December, winning a league-best 14 games. The key figures return to the field in 2007, including NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson. But off the field is another story. Head coach Marty Schottenheimer was sacked and coordinators Cam Cameron (offense) and Wade Phillips (defense) both left for head-coaching positions elsewhere. Norv Turner is now the head coach of a gifted team. Final 2006 rank: 3 3. Indianapolis The Colts lost seven players this off-season who started 84 games for the Super Bowl champions in 2006. But the Colts are a resilient team that knows how to play to its strengths. Indianapolis won that NFL title last season despite the worst run defense, scoring defense and special teams in Super Bowl history. But as long as Peyton Manning is taking the snaps, there's a calm and confidence on the Colts. Final '06 rank: 1 4. Baltimore The Ravens won a Super Bowl in 2000 with great defense and the legs of Jamal Lewis. That great defense remains -- it ranked first in the NFL again in 2006 -- but Lewis was no longer the workhorse he was in 2000. Baltimore won 13 games despite the NFL's 25th-ranked rushing attack. The Ravens addressed that problem by trading for RB Willis McGahee. But the defense took a hit with the free-agent defection of Pro Bowl LB Adalius Thomas to New England. Final '06 rank: 4 5. New Orleans The Saints were the feel-good story of 2006. After spending the 2005 season in San Antonio because of Hurricane Katrina, the Saints staged a triumphant return to New Orleans last fall with a first-ever trip to the NFC title game. How much of that success was emotion and how much of it was talent? We'll see this season. But there's no questioning the talent of offensive playmakers Drew Brees and Reggie Bush. Final '06 rank: 6 6. Denver Bill Belichick wasn't the only coach with a sense of urgency this off-season. Mike Shanahan also was loading up for a run in Denver, trading for cornerback Dre Bly, signing RB Travis Henry and TE Daniel Graham in free agency, and drafting pass rushers Jarvis Moss and Tim Crowder. Shanahan put rookie QB Jay Cutler on the field in November with an eye on 2007. He has great expectations for both Cutler and his team this fall. Final '06 rank: 11 7. Philadelphia The Eagles stormed to the NFC East crown with a season-ending five-game winning streak. They did it with two of their best players watching from the sideline. QB Donovan McNabb missed the last six games and DE Jevon Kearse the last 10, both with knee injuries. Defensively, the Eagles needed to toughen up against the run and did so in free agency by signing LB Takeo Spikes and DTs Montae Reagor and Ian Scott. Final '06 rank: 9 8. Chicago The Bears have not handled success well. They traded 1,000-yard rusher Thomas Jones, and Pro Bowl LB Lance Briggs and pass rusher Alex Brown would like to follow him out of town. Both have asked to be traded. The Bears reached the Super Bowl with rookie Devin Hester setting an NFL record with six return touchdowns. They can't bank on that type of good fortune on special teams again. Chicago needs Rex Grossman to carry more of the load in 2007. Final '06 rank: 5 9. Seattle The Seahawks failed to defend their NFC crown in 2006. That's not a surprise when you consider offensive catalysts RB Shaun Alexander (foot) and QB Matt Hasselbeck (knee) missed a combined 10 games because of injuries. After combining for 53 touchdowns in 2005, they fell off to 25 in 2006. Coach Mike Holmgren is anxious to have them back full time at full speed in 2007. Free agent DE Patrick Kerney improves the pass rush. Final '06 rank: 8 10. Cincinnati The Denver Broncos were an annual contender with John Elway taking the snaps. The same can be said of the Miami Dolphins when Dan Marino was their quarterback. Carson Palmer brings that same swagger and confidence to the Bengals. He's one of the five best quarterbacks in the NFL today. RB Rudi Johnson and WRs Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh provide a sterling supporting cast. Too bad none of them play defense. Final '06 rank: 20 11. Jacksonville An unsettled quarterback position could again torpedo a talented football team. The Jaguars ranked in the top 10 in both offense and defense last season but missed out on the playoffs with an 8-8 record. First-round draft pick Reggie Nelson adds playmaking skill at safety, and RB Maurice Jones-Drew is an emerging star. Final '06 rank: 19 12. N.Y. Jets The Jets are a statistical anomaly. They finished 20th in the NFL in defense and 25th in offense with a rookie head coach in 2006 -- but still won 10 games for a wild-card playoff spot. Chad Pennington is one of the NFL's most underrated quarterbacks. Coach Eric Mangini got him some help in 2007 by trading for RB Thomas Jones. Final '06 rank: 7 13. Carolina The Panthers had a quiet off-season with little roster turnover. They don't need new players as much as they need healthy ones. Carolina saw its Super Bowl hopes crash in 2006 with a rash of injuries, losing an NFC-high 80 games by starters. Three draft picks could wind up starting: LB Jon Beason, WR Dwayne Jarrett and C Ryan Kalil. Final '06 rank: 18 14. Pittsburgh The Steelers are without coach Bill Cowher for the first time since 1991. But Mike Tomlin inherits a franchise quarterback (Ben Roethlisberger) and a skilled team just one year removed from an NFL championship. Despite an 8-8 record in 2006, Pittsburgh was one of only three teams to rank in the NFL's top 10 in both offense and defense. Final '06 rank: 14 15. Dallas A new coach brings a new attitude on defense. Wade Phillips is going to turn his young speed loose, so you'll see a more aggressive scheme in 2007 than under Bill Parcells in 2006. But any success by the Cowboys will depend on which quarterback shows up -- the Tony Romo who flourished in November or the Romo who floundered in December. Final '06 rank: 13 16. Tennessee The Titans won six of their last seven games in 2006 to finish at .500. But NFL Rookie of the Year Vince Young will be without a 1,200-yard rusher (Travis Henry) and his two top receivers, Drew Bennett and Bobby Wade, who both left in free agency. Elite cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones also will sit the 2007 season with an NFL suspension. Final '06 rank: 12 17. Green Bay The Packers went young under first-year coach Mike McCarthy in 2006, milking a league-high 66 starts out of their rookie class and still finishing 8-8. But veteran Pro Bowl RB Ahman Green left in free agency, so a return to playoff contention in 2007 hinges on the ability of Vernand Morency and rookie Brandon Jackson to generate a ground game. Final '06 rank: 15 18. Kansas City The Chiefs have been one of the oldest teams in the NFL this decade and don't have a single playoff victory to show for their experience. So coach Herman Edwards has vowed to go with younger players and will give second-year QB Brodie Croyle a chance to unseat Trent Green this summer -- if Green is still around come July. He wants out. Final '06 rank: 10 19. St. Louis The Rams still have the offensive playmakers to compete for a playoff spot. It's the defense that needed to be fixed, in particular the NFC's worst run defense. So the Rams have reloaded up front, drafting 290-pound DT Adam Carriker in the first round, trading for DE James Hall and signing LB Chris Draft in free agency. Final '06 rank: 16 20. San Francisco The 49ers lost a single starter (WR Antonio Bryant) from a team that upset playoff contenders Denver and Seattle in December en route to a 7-9 record. Coach Mike Nolan upgraded the receiving corps by trading for Darrell Jackson, and new CB Nate Clements improves the NFL's 26th-ranked pass defense. Final '06 rank: 17 21. N.Y. Giants It's a make-or-break year for coach Tom Coughlin, who faces that challenge without his best player, thanks to the retirement of Pro Bowl RB Tiki Barber. The Giants need No. 1 draft pick CB Aaron Ross and free agent LB Kawika Mitchell to quick fix the NFL's 25th-ranked defense. Final '06 rank: 21 22. Atlanta Defensive-minded Jim Mora never could figure out how to use Mike Vick, and it cost him his job as head coach. Now it's Bobby Petrino's turn. Vick is a runner first in a league that requires its quarterbacks to be passers. Petrino was an offensive whiz as a college head coach at Louisville. Final '06 rank: 23 23. Detroit The Lions will score points as long as Mike Martz is calling the plays. First-round draft pick WR Calvin Johnson and trade acquisition RB Tatum Bell enhance a talented offensive cast. But a speedy, young defense must take the next step for the Lions to compete in the NFC North. Final '06 rank: 31 24. Minnesota First-round draft pick Adrian Peterson should be the front-runner for NFL Rookie of the Year honors playing on the artificial surface of the Metrodome. But Tarvaris Jackson enters his first full season as the starting quarterback, and his development will dictate playoff contention. Final '06 rank: 26 25. Buffalo The Bills absorbed some huge off-season hits, losing their leading rusher (Willis McGahee), leading tackler (London Fletcher) and two most talented defenders, LB Takeo Spikes and CB Nate Clements. First-round draft pick RB Marshawn Lynch needs to be special immediately for the Bills. Final '06 rank: 22 26. Washington After wasting back-to-back top 10 finishes on defense under Gregg Williams in 2004 and 2005, the Redskins cratered on that side of the ball in 2006, finishing 31st. So Washington signed LB London Fletcher and CB Fred Smoot in free agency and drafted safety LaRon Landry in the first round. Final '06 rank: 27 27. Arizona The Cardinals lost one starter in free agency (offensive tackle Leonard Davis) and used a first-round draft pick to replace him (Penn State's Levi Brown). Can Matt Leinart develop as a quarterback before aging Pro Bowl RB Edgerrin James runs out of gas? Final '06 rank: 28 28. Miami The Dolphins have spent the spring trying to wrangle Trent Green away from the Chiefs. He played for new Dolphins coach Cam Cameron with the Redskins in the mid-1990s. If Miami can't close that deal, the Dolphins could enter the 2007 season with Cleo Lemon at quarterback. Final '06 rank: 24 29. Cleveland All eyes are on QB Brady Quinn. But the Browns quietly addressed the AFC's worst rushing attack by signing RB Jamal Lewis in free agency and adding two elite blockers, G Eric Steinbach (free agency) and OT Joe Thomas (draft). Final '06 rank: 29 30. Tampa Bay The NFL's 29th-ranked offense was barely touched this off-season. The Bucs spent their premium dollars (LB Cato June and DT Kevin Carter in free agency) and draft picks (DE Gaines Adams in the first round) on defense. Final '06 rank: 30 31. Houston The decision to pass up offensive playmakers Reggie Bush and Vince Young in the 2006 draft will haunt the Texans for years to come. After finishing 28th in offense, Houston canned QB David Carr and traded for untested Matt Schaub. Final '06 rank: 25 32. Oakland The NFL's worst offense reloaded this off-season, drafting a QB (JaMarcus Russell) and signing an RB (Dominic Rhodes) and WR (Travis Taylor) in free agency. But a novice head coach (Lane Kiffin) will slow down any winning. Final '06 rank: 32

Standing at the limit of an endless ocean...
hidden in the summer for a million years
|The Domain Gardens - perfect for a picnic in the shade
Thank you to everyone who left such kind comments on Facebook about my previous post - The Insect Bride. Reading your well-wishes made our celebration even more special We spent our 25th Anniversary in Melbourne - a long-planned and much looked-forward to week of sheer indulgence.
Trying to book an apartment at the beginning of this year proved to be unexpectedly difficult, until it finally dawned on us that we were married on Melbourne Cup day, and would be staying during that City's busiest week of the year. However, I am fortunate to be married to one of the planet's greatest organisers, and even this obstacle proved no match for her mighty skills.
We arrived on a grey, chilly morning, and left a week later in a tar-melting 37 degrees, browner, happier but also poorer after enjoying shopping and cuisine in a city world-renowned for it's cafe and restaurant culture.
|The Yarra river (and Flinders station on the left) from the south bank
Both somewhat frazzled by our regular work and commuting routine, we were determined not to spend the week rushing around and achieved this goal pretty well. It helps that Melbourne is an extremely easy city to navigate, laid out in a grid pattern and easily land-marked by the Yarra River and distinctive Eureka Tower. Following the advice of making a one week tram ticket our first priority, getting around proved to be extremely easy, especially as our centrally-located apartment genuinely was. Early mornings would see me running along the banks of the Yarra River before grabbing a couple of takeaway coffees to bring up to the apartment on my return. Our balcony caught the morning sun and despite still being on 'kiwi time' and rising early, it was wonderful to relax out there and not feel as if we had to rush to begin our day.
|Inner city living - some feat.
When we weren't eating and spending, we visited the Jean-Paul Gaultier exhibition - already iconic and striking creations made all the more so by the mannequins wearing them. Precisely positioned projectors cast footage of human features onto their blank faces, an unsettling effect particularly when a mannequin unexpectedly blinked or even spoke to you.
|Blinkin' heck - did that dummy just open its eyes?
The Melbourne Cup Races were an inescapable presence, and we went with the flow, drinking in the undeniable elegance on display by people-watching at Flinders Railway station, and Rose buying a 'fascinator' to wear while watching the Cup Day race at Federation Square.
We had meals with friends, one who's lived in Melbourne for two months, and the other for 20 years - both very much in love with the place and it's certainly easy to see why. One morning we hired a couple of the bikes which the City council makes available at various stations throughout the city, and traced the upper section of the Yarra river - crossing at Port Melbourne to make our way back again. Paths are well marked for cyclists, and equally, areas where they are not welcome. I'll risk incurring the wrath of the popular cyclists front of Wellington by voicing my approval. As an early morning waterfront pedestrian I dearly wish a route for cyclists could be delineated, rather than feeling as if I'm trying to walk to work on a velodrome track.
|Melbourne Cathedral
We finished our week at a long established Melbourne cabaret - entered via a ghost train. 'Dracula's' has entertained this City and the Gold coast for almost 25 years with a blend of playfully horror-infused burlesque and musical entertainment and we were treated to a seventies-themed show with well-staged and performed renditions of hits from that era.
Packing the following morning involved shoe-horning a large number of rare and long-sought blu-ray discs into our bags - now much fuller than when we had arrived. Many of these movies will be fodder for film reviews in following months - I'm looking forward to finding the time to watch them.
Our foremost impression of Melbourne is that it is an incredibly relaxed and friendly city, which made it perfect for combining a shopping trip and culinary expedition with a peaceful getaway break.
|Grungy, lively Degraves St - perfect for breakfast at any time of the day.

Forgive my mess.
I really need to sit down, read up on WP websites, design static pages for the different aspects of what I do, and post things for sale. My biggest fault is being ADD and having too much stuff distracting me. Once I am focused, I am focused. But… It's still summer and I can be outside. And my foot is still healing (lousy excuse as I can now climb stairs).
Anyway, I picked up on this project I started a couple years ago: a fairy house for bunnies.
The bunnies. I don't know where three of them came from, but the two in cute clothes came from K-Mart's Easter decorations before K-Mart became a distant memory.
The tea pot. I built the stairs that wrap around it. Most things are glued in place (except the bunnies – I've made no permanent decisions on their placement – yet).
I finally came to terms with a hearth.
I want to be able to place one of those little incense cones in there to create smoke out of the spout. Test to come this weekend… I used polymer clay and some little brads I found in my mother's sewing kit. The whole structure needs to be glued into place.
I have struggled with the "how do the bunnies get into their house" question. I made a staircase. No. Thought about a pulley system. No. A mini trampoline. Maybe. Tonight, I tried making a spiral staircase. Hmmm. I like this. Just needs painting and gluing into place. That's the littlest bunny ascending the stairs.
I figure a bunny communal bed on one side of the residence and a bunny kitchen on the other side.
I priced miniature kitchen sets today. No. Just, No. This is the sink that will be glued together and installed. Polymer clay, earring backs, and some weird necklace ornament that morphed into a faucet.
I'll post pics after I glue it together and after I install it.
I made veggies for the bunnies: snap peas, green beans, carrots, head lettuces, and leaf lettuces.
This is one side of the back – the ear is behind the tree there, and mushrooms from behind it and the little deer.
And one bird that will get to have a nest in the trees.
It really needs a lot of work, but I felt like sharing so I don't lose continuity with the blog and letting people know that I am creating, even if it is not the minis. The fairy houses are more for me than for anyone else.

Where I can reserve for the weekend of June 24th
Encompassing over 40 acres in the heart of the 18 Road Mountain Bike Trail System, the North Fruita Desert Campground provides ample opportunity to bike all day directly from your campsite. There are 58 individual campsites, and each site contains a fire ring with a grate and a picnic table and has parking for two to four vehicles. Please remember campers must bring their own firewood and there is no electricity, shade shelter, or garbage pickup. The facilities are decent for such a remote location, and there are four vault toilets located within walking distance of each cluster of campsites. Dispersed camping is allowed outside of the mountain bike trail system, but it requires the use of a portable toilet system and portable fire pan.
If you're in the mood for a scenic drive, the road that leaves the campground to the west will slowly climb it's way up the backside of the Bookcliffs to provide magnificent views of your surroundings. Area activities include a shooting range, OHV open area, hiking, and mountain biking, making this a great destination for a weekend getaway.

The voice won last night. The weather has turned sticky again so that didn't help. I lay in bed for an hour or more, eventually took half a sleeping pill, waited a bit longer listening to Mark snuffle, got up and made myself a cup of herbal tea and had 3 jatz. Then 3 more and then 3 more. Nine in total. Went back to bed and then, to make matters worse, slept through the alarm.
BUT have wrote this transgression in my food diary and have gone through today's food list and removed some things I had planned to eat to compensate for the jatz.
The next time I have the urge to eat something that I know I shouldn't, I hope I can remember prior to eating it that I will have to compensate by removing something I had planned to eat.
I am drinking my water but am continually hungry ( and whingy).
Tomorrow will be better.

The startup revolution has changed the world today. You will find more innovative ways to get complete your tasks. There are solutions available everywhere and every field to serve you. The internet and innovation have been the key for startups to introduce unique and most innovating products and solutions.
The process of innovation is incomplete without using the data, and here the role of big data emerges. The use of big data is getting the momentum like never before. The data are being used by all the companies irrespective of the size and the field they are into.
In the realm of big data, of late, many startups have been launched in different verticals. The use of data about developing solutions is at peak, personal data of users are being stored and being used to understand their behavior, which is a key to any business.
The risk of huge data usage is considered as a threat by many, which some of the countries demanding for the implementation of regulations over the use of vast data. Many countries, including the European Union, have advocated for the 'data minimization.'
Yes, the term sounds unique and rare, but in the coming years, it would be world associated with regulations in regard to usage of the data. It is very important for the startups to consider this aspect in the modern age of big data. Being a startup if are a developing any application for consumers, then you could need to follow a certain set of rules in the near future in regard to collecting data and using.
Recently, the European Union has included 'data minimization' in the Data Protection Act, which will come into effect very soon. As per the law, the collection of the personal data should not be excessive in relation to the purpose. There are possibilities that, such changes may be adopted by many other countries, including countries in the Asian Pacific region.
Data Minimization is the process of limiting usage of personal data to accomplish any purpose. But as the Internet of Things continues to grow, organizations are faced with more and more ways to collect more and more kinds of data, including and especially private, personally identifiable data.
Startups need to consider the data minimization serious because of three reasons, first, startups need to follow the regulations as data minimization is going to be added into the acts related to data protection. They need to abide by the new rules once those come into existence. Secondly, the startups should focus on data minimization as it will reduce their cost and budget. Thirdly, startups need to focus more on data protection, because any leakage of breaches could put you in trouble. In other words, there would much lesser hassles with minimum data and you assure your customers of security and privacy. Startups should take the advantage of the using minimum data, as its economical and secure.

i didn't have any idea where i was going when i started this card. i simply chose the background paper I wanted to use and built from there. A friend ordered a b-day card for her 19 year old grand daughter and those were my starting points. Beacuase it is a girl, i sparkled the present with wink of stella, and added the curved green piece to soften it a bit. These Tim Holtz cats make me laugh every time i bring one to life. Isn't this just a hoot. I can hardly wait to mail it to her.
I still have time to enter this into Simon's Wednesday Challenge for Furry Friends.

Scottish artist Douglas finds a home—and a vast canvas—in the Highlands.
If the names Culloden and Glencoe mean anything to you, then you will immediately appreciate Douglas' purpose in setting the installations and other projects depicted here in the country of the Clearances, including what P.L. Snow, in his introductory essay, calls "the unforgiving land of Helmsdale." Much of Douglas' body of work has concerned the everyday and the domestic, and the works here are of a piece: origami set on china; a chandelier, subversively titled A Wee Bit of Light Relief, that incorporates a mobile made of wooden spoons, crust rollers, pie tins, utensils, and the like; and, perhaps most affectingly, a group of linked knit booties in honor of the bairns of the cliffside village of Badbea, where "so dangerous were their surroundings that, when the children were playing outside, they had to be tethered to posts and rocks to stop them falling off the cliffs into the sea." Some of the installations are breathtakingly simple in their conception: an arrangement of flowers in the ruins of a croft, for example. Others, made with the help of the descendants of those bairns and crofters, are more complex. The app is satisfying as is, though a couple of touches would have been welcome—for one, perhaps, recordings of those people as they spoke of their lives. Navigation is simple, though readers with older iPads may find that it takes a little time to load some of the slideshows for the first time.
That said, Douglas and the engineers of this app have made Helmsdale seem a very attractive place indeed on which to pay a call. Watch for a spike in tourism—and, with luck, other apps like this celebrating local history and art.


text: The kith and kin of Kashmiri inmates who were assaulted brutally in Tihar jail have suggested that their relatives should be brought to Kashmir. This is an eminently rational and prudent suggestion. It amounts to stating the obvious that hundreds of Kashmiris languish in jails in many parts of India. It is , then, not only in Tihar that Kashmiri inmates linger in grey zones of incarceration and penal infrastructures. The suggestion of bringing them home is rational because of many reasons. The primary one is that their very ethnicity makes them vulnerable to hostility in prisons. This accrues largely from a climate of hostility created by the media against Kashmir and Kashmiris, among other things. The animus that has been created can potentially- as was demonstrated by the assault in Tihar jail- lead to violence against them when they are most vulnerable. Moreover, besides the potential of violence implied in Kashmiri prisoners being incarcerated in unfamiliar milieus, there is also the issue of being imprisoned in strange and culturally different milieus. This context adds another layer to the miseries of Kashmiri prisoners besides the deprivation of their liberty. It then is exigent that these prisoners incarcerated in various prisons be shifted back home to Kashmir. There is the potential issue of the legality or finding legal ways and means for their repatriation to Kashmir. The corpus of law governing these cases must allow for this. Lawyers pleading the cases of Kashmiri prisoners must trawl their law books and even find precedents that allow for the repatriation or return of Kashmiri prisoners to Kashmir. Generally speaking, prisons are places where hostility becomes a part of the penal infrastructure. This is lent poignancy, in case of Kashmiri prisoners, by their incarceration in places other than Kashmir. Given this condition, the rights that prisoners have are susceptible to either abuse or being curtailed- both in subtle or overt ways. The remedy to this, at the risk of repetition, is to bring Kashmiri prisoners to Kashmir. Here, they will be at ease psychologically and emotionally. Furthermore, their families and relatives, who also have to bear trauma and emotional vicissitudes, can visit them , without incurring massive logistical and financial burdens. The suggestion of the relatives of prisoners from Kashmir to bring them home then makes eminent sense. It is about time that these are taken on board and repatriated to Kashmir.

This article is reposted from Presbyterians Today, a publication of the Presbyterian Church (USA). You can read it and see photos in the online version of Presbyterians Today magazine. The article is written by Linda Valentine, who is the executive director of the Presbyterian Mission Agency.
'Little one, for you Jesus Christ came into the world'
An old baptismal liturgy may hold the key for understanding what it means to be Presbyterian.
by Linda Valentine
When my colleagues Rob and Christine Coy Fohr's daughter, Madeline, was baptized last December at Highland Presbyterian Church in Louisville, the children of our church sang the hymn "God Claims You" (2249 in Sing the Faith). As they sang, "Madeline, Madeline, God loves you," the sanctuary filled with love and remembrance of baptisms precious to us. They then inserted Rob's and Christine's names and sang to them. This hymn has become a new, deeply moving tradition for our church family, as the children join in welcoming their new friend while members of the congregation vow to nurture the child and support their parents in faith.
Whether we are baptized as infants, children, or adults, it is in that profoundly gracious act that our journey of discerning and living out our Christian calling begins. For us Presbyterians, baptism is "a sign and act of God's self-giving, by which God's grace is made available to us" (Book of Common Worship). And our grateful response—at all ages and stages of life—is to become more and more like Christ in living out our faith.

Land release unlocks door to The Hunt Club

|Re: [classlib] Active?
|Sun, 02 Oct 2011 18:48:02 GMT
Hello, I had a similar concern last year when starting a project for a paradygm model. At this time I was hesitating between Apache Harmony and Parrot VM... and choose parrot to experiment something different from the java world. With all the events around java, and the fact there is only openjdk left, I definetly believe I made the right choice. Perhaps like me you could explore other solutions, there are plenty of other vm, just to name a few ones, CLR, ParrotVM, NekoVM, LuaVM ... Since you mention Android and the DalvikVM, lets hope Google will cut relations with java and build a pseudo-java. even so if google does not free the entire code source of dalvik then it won't be any better, in the best case story will repeat itself. The nekoVM and LuaVM might be the safest choices considering the license, one is LGPL the other MIT, ... I haven't found any VM under Public Domain unfortunatly :( .

2010 Selfless Seniors
The seniors were honored March 30 at Volcano Vista High School. Each was introduced by their school principal, and all had moving things to say about their schools, their communities and their dreams of the future. This is the third year the APS Education Foundation has worked in partnership with acclaimed Albuquerque photographer Frank Frost to celebrate the accomplishments of seniors who are serious about their futures, yet find ways to put others before themselves. Students who qualify as Selfless Seniors are those who give back to their community, who haven't been recognized by their high school, who have made a positive impact on others facing difficulties and whose character sets them apart.

A United Airlines flight en route from Rome to Chicago diverted to Ireland on Monday after the crew reported an apparent bomb threat, local authorities said.
Flight 971 landed at Shannon Airport around 1:42 p.m., where emergency officials deplaned 207 passengers and 11 crew members.
A police spokesperson told Ireland's Independent that the unscheduled landing in Ireland followed "the discovery of a note relating to a bomb threat on board."
Police searched each of the passengers and their luggage. They also compared handwriting samples from the passengers to the note, which was found scribbled on a surface in one of the Boeing 767-330's bathrooms.
"After assessing the situation our crew made the decision to divert to the nearest available airport," a statement from United Airlines said.
"Additional security screenings will be performed on all customers and baggage, and we will work to get customers on their way to Chicago as quickly as possible."

Franco Noriega was crowned the "World's Hottest Chef" because he's a chef and because he's stage four fuckable, but in order to maintain the crown the king must keep up appearances, hence the deluge of nude and basically nude pics and vids we get from Noreiga!
In these new five-star GIFs, Noreiga serves up a juicy sausage barely contained by his skimpy undies. Franco appears to be trying on clothes, and his new pants just barely make it over his junk bulge! Don't you just hate when that happens. I know I do. This guy has the market cornered on body hair, and his body always manages to be normal ripped versus GNC ripped. Take note Zac Efron. Do you want to order the full tasting menu, or are you just here for a nibble? Spillz in the comments!

In every church and every cause abide
the never-doubting men of fervent tone.
Their idol is a god who never hides,
whose ways cannot be far beyond our own.
This deity of theirs has never left
a burning question, not a burning bush
nor seemingly abandoned us, bereft,
to wrestle every lure the world can push.
Out of the depths the Psalmist sought some plan,
like Job bewildered by the test of loss.
Gethsemane's unwilling Son of Man
was then the Christ forsaken on the cross.
The task is this; totread the faithful ways
yet face the fact of darker, harder days.

The Comp Plan update process will bring all the Plan Elements up to date and address changes to the demographic, economic and environmental conditions in Palo Alto that are anticipated to occur through 2030. Through a separate process, to meet State deadlines, the City's Housing Element was updated to provide a framework for growth through 2023, and was adopted by the City Council on November 10, 2014.

Elisha Is Here!
Contributed by Bala Samson on Aug 8, 2013 (message contributor)
Summary: Friend, when you have good stuff and when there is substance in you, you would be noticed!
Elisha is here!
2 King 3:11"But Jehoshaphat said, "Is there no prophet of the LORD here, that we may inquire of the LORD by him?" So one of the servants of the king of Israel answered and said, "Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah."
Here's what UK marketing director Simon Penstridge of NIKE says about his stuff: "We don't do advertising any more. We just do cool stuff, it sounds a bit wanky, but that's just the way it is. Advertising is all about achieving awareness, and we no longer need awareness." Sounds boisterous no doubt; nevertheless, when you know your stuff is good, confidence comes with it!
The most popular hotel does not need much of advertisements, or media coverage, because their food is sumptuous, people would navigate high and low and reach their place somehow. In the corporate world, have you watched the 'I'm here' attitude of some people: loud bragging, flashy clothes, extra make-up and people who stretch themselves to impress. Friend, when you have good stuff and when there is substance in you, you would be noticed! Jesus looked at Peter and said, 'on this rock I would build my church!' Amen. When the grace of God is on you, you would be noticed! Orphan girl Esther was hand-picked by the king. I am speaking to someone out there!
You don't need flashy advertisements, marketing strategy, smart astute presentations and promos to pull people into your church. You got to pull people into His Sanctuary through your powerful prayer! Today Christian ministry has become highly bureaucratic and competitive! Very sad!
Let me expound the above scripture: it was a desperate situation for the three kings: king of Israel, king of Judah and the king of Edom, who suffered without water for the army and the animals that followed them for nearly a week. While the beleaguered kings stood baffled and puzzled, one of the servants of the king of Israel answered and said, "Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah." Elisha is here! Doesn't that sound like dynamite? Elisha! Prophet Elisha did not need a flashy website, a huge banner, a name board or a senior Pastor or Bishop to give an intro………a servant gave the kings an answer to their predicament. Elisha is here! The name Elisha brought energy into the body of king Jehoshaphat, that he jumped up and said, "the word of the LORD is with him." Amen.
I am speaking to someone out there today! Do you feel ignored, rejected, overtaken, and prejudiced? Do you feel like you are lost in the big ocean? Do you feel my turn would never come? Do you feel insignificant and small? Fear not! You would be identified! Get into His presence, spend more time with the Bible and in prayer rather than brooding over the situation, you would surely be recognized. The word of the Lord would come to you! I did a great mistake during the initial days of my ministry when I approached a senior pastor and said," I have an anointing for the youth, can I help in your youth ministry? He never called me. That was the last that I ever approached someone for a ministry opening, in the following years besides my internet ministry, God opened up doors to speak in conventions, Bible colleges, fire camps, many churches and today we have our own church, school, Children Home and many other projects.
Abide in Him!

Clip Down Pully Rig
The clip down pully rig is a very good distance casting rig given its aerodynamic nature when in the clipped down position. It is amazing how much drag a rig which is not clipped down will add to your cast with the baits hanging free and helicoptering around as the rig flys through the air. If you have never used this rig before expect to add up to 20 metres to your casting distance when compared to a non clipped down rig. When a fish takes the line it pulls the sinker up off the sea bed which can be good over rough ground. Another advantage is that when the fish takes the weight of lifting the sinker helps to set the hook.
Materials Needed
Main Rig Body / Rig Backbone:
- Approx 1 metre of 50 – 80 pound breaking strain line
- 3 x Geni clips
- 3 x beads
- 1 x impact shield (or whatever your preferred type of bait clip)
- 1 x crimp
- 1 x swivel
- Approx 40 cm of 50 pound breaking strain line (needs to be shorter than your main rig body so it will be under tension when clipped down in the impact shield)
- 1 x geni clip
- 1 x recurve or circle hook (pick size based on bait you will be using and target species)
Main Rig Body / Rig Backbone
Step 1
Tie a genie clip to the bottom end of the piece of line you are using for your main rig body using an appropriate knot eg uni knot, clinch knot.
Step 2
Thread a bead (the type of bead is down to personal preference, but, the main purpose is to protect the knot so you could use a hard or soft bead here) on to the other end of the piece of line and run it down so it sits on the knot you have just created when tying on the geni clip.
Step 3
Thread on impact shield so that it sits above the bead. Make sure the shield part is facing down toward the bottom of your rig.
Step 4
Thread on another bead so that it sits above the clip part of the impact shield. This needs to be a hard bead as the action of the impact shield sliding up and pushing against this is what causes your baited hook to be released from the clip.
Step 5
Thread on a crimp and crimp it so that the bead sits snuggly against the top of the impact shield.
Step 6
Thread on genie clip. Make sure you thread the line through the smaller eye end of the clip. This clip will be used to attach your rig to a swivel on your mainline. The main rig body of the line is free to run back and forwards through this clip which creates the pully action.
Step 7
Thread on bead. Again this bead can be hard or soft as it is purely for knot protection.
Step 8
Finally tie on a geni clip to the end of your rig body. It is here that you will clip your trace to.
Trace / Snood
Step 1
Tie on a swivel to one end of the piece of line you are using for your trace. This swivel is used to attach your trace to your rig body by clipping it onto the top geni clip on the rig body.
Step 2
Tie on hook to the other end of your trace using an appropriate knot eg clinch, uni, snell. The great thing about having a trace that clips onto your main rig body is that it is very easy to interchange different traces. You can have a few made up that have different hook sizes, floats on them to protect your baits from crabs or even just ones that you bait up in advance so that when you change your bait it is simply a matter of clip on and cast. Another advantage is that when it comes time to re bait you can just leave you rod in the holder and only need to unclip the trace and carry that back to where you have your bait rather than taking the whole rod or rig.

use Proper Pulley clip from Breakaway Tackle Australia then bead and swivel instead of Genie clip @ item 6 Check out website google Breakaway Tackle Australia Lee and Alison Wigner super helpful ex UK now in QLD carry stock and will post This rig worked for me but be careful with components you use I found out about Pulley rigs from WA angling site which was using swivel that tended to kink leader…Still learning what I know might fill a page what I don't would fill a library Breakaway Tackle UK has more info P.S.4 mulloway@ Salt Creek using pulley rig 8/0 circle hook and Breakaway leads I cast from mould and components ex UK. Email if want to have a yarn but I m hooked on these rigs they work no B.S. ..Chris Q
I surfcast the beaches in the Bay of Plenty in New Zealand and use this rig all the time. It provides a much smoother cast without the bait heli-coptoring (you know what I mean). The only change I make to the assembly is – Step 8 – I tie on a swivel instead of a Genie Clip and Step 1 (Trace/Snood) I attach a Genie Clip ie all my traces have Genie Clips instead of a swivel. Cheers, BG
