Sports Illustrated is reporting that Gus Johnson and CBS have parted ways.
If the news is correct, Johnson will no longer call NCAA basketball games for the "eye" network. According to the report, many young viewers enjoy Johnson.
I'm not young, but I appreciate his work. Gus is plenty excitable and it rubs off. He has his own signature words and I love the one "pure." Johnson shouts that out when a player hits a clean jump shot.
Johnson has done college CBS games for 16 (I think) years. He will be missed. Jim Nance is serviceable, but Johnson is the better announcer. Johnson probably knew that Nance would not release his No. 1 announcer position soon.
But Johnson shouldn't be totally gone. Hopefully, the Big Ten Network will continue its association with Gus. That way, I can still receive my fix of "pure" calls. I have to have some reason to watch the Big Ten Network.

Are you searching for a reputable and honorable company to deliver assistance with your gold bullion purchasing options in Ottawa (Riverside Park / Hunt Club West / Riverside South / YOW), Ontario? Acquiring gold is an excellent approach to diversify your investment portfolio and add security as well. As an investor you will have the freedom to choose between which kind of bullion you would like to obtain. For example, some familiar types of bullion include; bars, rounds, and coins.
Bullion Bars/Wafers
One of the more popular strategies of investing in gold & silver includes buying bars. The reason why many people prefer to acquire bars is because of the quantity of bullion you can get for your dollar. For example, a one kilogram bar will have a lower premium than a one hundred gram bar. So essentially the smaller the bar, the greater the premium. If you compare the cost of bars to coins, bars usually are less expensive.
One important thing to take into account if you're about to buy large bullion bars, is that you make sure you are purchasing from a well-established & legitimate dealer. Unfortunately larger bars tend to carry a reputation for being counterfeit.
Bullion Rounds
Rounds appear much like coins though they are in fact completely different in terms of their overall value. Like bars, rounds have a value which is based on its precious metal content. Rounds are also comparable to bars when it comes to size and premium prices as well. Actually the bigger the round the lower the premium. One main difference between rounds & coins is that rounds may not be utilized as legal tender and do not have any face value.
Rounds are often found in silver and normally produced in one ounce sizes. They can additionally be found in smaller fractional sizes also.
Bullion Coins
Bullion coins are usually found in gold, silver, platinum and palladium. It is another prominent method among investors to attain precious metals, as many regard them to be valuable collectors items. Unlike rounds, coins can be used as legal tender in their country of origin.
Coins also have a different premium & spot price when compared with rounds. Coins that have been distributed by the government typically sell for a greater premium over spot price as well. That is usually due to their higher demand & rarity.
When searching for an organization to buy your bullion, one thing you should keep in mind is that some organizations specialise in coins while others are well known for their bars. When you have determined what sort of bullion you would like to invest in, you should then start looking for an organization that specializes in what you're looking to purchase.
Silver Gold Bull Canada
Silver Gold Bull is knowledgeable and reliable precious metals dealer situated in Canada, who is able to provide investors with all of the bullion options stated previously and more. They are a very well-known dealer located in Calgary, Alberta and has been offering precious metals to investors for years.

Bishop Schofield Responds Two Days Before San Joaquin's Convention Begins
Bishop Schofield of San Joaquin has responded to PB Jefferts Schori just two days before that diocese's convention may vote to initiate changes in their constitution and canons that will end their relationship to the national Episcopal church (though as Bishop Schofield points out here, it would take ratification by another diocesan convention for this change to take effect). I have highlighted some important passages.
Dear Bishop Schori:
Greetings in the name of our Lord and only Savior Jesus Christ.
I am in receipt of your letter to me and wish to make clear from the outset that I have always remained faithful to my vows as an ordained bishop in the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. At my consecration, I vowed to "guard the faith, unity, and discipline of the Church of God." I was charged by my chief consecrator to "Feed the flock of Christ committed to [my] charge, guard and defend them in his truth, and be a faithful steward of his holy Word and Sacraments." I carry out my vow by defending and propagating "the historic Faith and Order" which The Episcopal Church commits to upholding in the preamble of its own Constitution.
In 2003, the General Convention committed itself to a theological path that is irreconcilable with the Anglican faith this Church has received and has torn the fabric of the entire Communion. The Primates repeated calls for repentance have not been heeded. More than half of the Primates and Provinces of the Anglican Communion have declared themselves to be in impaired or broken communion with The Episcopal Church. Beyond our Anglican Communion, relations throughout Christendom have been profoundly strained. With obvious reference to innovations and novelties introduced by The Episcopal Church, last week Pope Benedict XVI publicly stated to Archbishop Rowan Williams that recent developments, "especially concerning ordained ministry and certain moral teachings," have affected not only the internal relations within the Anglican Communion but also relations between the Anglican Communion and the Catholic Church.
The Episcopal Church, as an institution, is walking a path of apostasy and those faithful to God's Word are forced to make painful choices.
At a diocesan level, the choice is between continuing membership in an unrepentant, apostate institution or following Holy Scripture and the Anglican faith. Whether or not the Diocese of San Joaquin will continue its institutional membership in The Episcopal Church is a choice that will be made by the people and the clergy and not by me. They will express their collective will as provided in the diocesan governing documents which were approved by the General Convention when the diocese was first admitted to membership.
It is important to point out that the vote at the Diocesan Convention in December 2006 is neither final nor irrevocable. Should the Constitutional amendments being proposed pass the "first reading," then the diocese will simply have positioned itself to make a final decision at a second consecutive Annual Convention in 2007 if that proves God's call.
Under our diocesan constitution, the second and final reading is automatically scheduled for October 2007. The setting of the exact date may be advanced or delayed by the bishop. There are some significant factors that would influence such a decision.
First, at the meeting with the leading Primates of the Global South in Virginia, November 15-17 this year, the Global South Primates Steering Committee encouraged us by supporting our faithful stand and commitment to Christ, and they expressed a desire to be of help to us to relieve our untenable position. They have promised assistance, the form of which they will bring to the entire Primates meeting scheduled for Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, in February 2007. In the meantime, in keeping with the goals of the Windsor Report and positioning ourselves to accept the Primates' help, we are responding to the Primates who called upon us to remain flexible until the details are worked out.
An additional consideration was your letter to me. I believe you have shown wisdom and restraint by not issuing an ultimatum. Instead, you have invited further discussion which could possibly lead to some degree of reconciliation. In recognition of what you have proposed, I, too, will exercise restraint by not advancing the date of what could be an historic and final act. However, should proceedings be instituted against me as threatened in your letter, I would not feel obliged to exercise restraint. My prayer is that neither of us takes action which upsets the delicate balance which now exists until the Primates have given us direction at their February 2007 meeting. Until then, powerful forces will be at work that will ultimately shape the future.
I pray that God's will be revealed to us all.
You may be assured of my prayers for the Holy Spirit's wisdom and guidance.
In Christ,
The Rt. Rev. John-David M. Schofield, SSC
Bishop of San Joaquin
The entire letter may be found on the diocese of San Joaquin's web site.
In addition, on the same diocesan web site one may find Bishop Duncan of Pittsburgh's letter of encouragement to the diocesan convention of San Joaquin in his capacity as Moderator of the Network.
"As the Clergy and People of the Diocese of San Joaquin face into your Annual Convention of 2006, I want you to know that the whole Network is praying for you. Stay the course. You are doing important work in establishing that the diocese is the fundamental unit of the catholic church.
While you are engaged in a "first reading" and therefore not actually bringing any change for the moment, your determination makes clear your commitment to the Gospel above erring councils and positions. You will be poised to make the changes by a second reading if that proves God's call."
The Rt. Rev. Robert Wm. Duncan
Bishop, Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh
Moderator, Anglican Communion Network

Jill discusses the future of newbie, Darren Criss.What a week it has been for Glee newbie Darren Criss. He debuted on the latest episode, "Never Been Kissed", as Blaine – a friend and perhaps future love interest for Kurt. Since then, he has been confirmed as a new series regular and his version of Teenage Dream has become Glee's biggest-selling single ever in the history of the show. Ryan Murphy, creator of all things Glee, spoke with afterelton.com to discuss the impact of adding this actor to the show. "Darren has become such a sensation in one week, which I love. I think there's a hunger for him and a positive relationship role model."
There is definitely a hunger for him, that's for sure. Young, old, boy, or girl –- everyone was captured by Darren's instant charisma. It seemed that Glee fans unanimously accepted him into the McKinley High hall of fame immediately. I personally wonder what this means for Chord Overstreet (Sam) and Charice (Sunshine Corazon), the two characters introduced at the beginning of this season. Why didn't their arrivals have as much of an impact?
Perhaps it's that Darren Criss just has that X factor that is truly indescribable. Or maybe Glee fans were not ready at the beginning of the season for new blood. Personally, I'm hoping that all three of these actors remain on the show because they each bring something unique to the table. But if I had to choose one, I'm going to have to agree with Ryan on this one. Darren Criss is one of those overnight sensations that doesn't come along often and I'm starving for another single from him that I can play on repeat...everyday...over and over and over again. Will one of you be the next Darren Criss after you audition for The Glee Project? And don't forget to tune in to FOX tonight to see if Blaine makes his second appearance.

Split Decision for Choice-by-Race; the Michigan Point System Fails Supreme Court Review
Byline: Frank J. Murray, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Tax-supported universities may use race as a "plus factor" if they make individual choices about whom to admit, but the University of Michigan's undergraduate point system "clearly fails" that constitutional test, the Supreme Court ruled yesterday.
In two decisions likely to prompt more litigation over exactly how much weight a school can give to race, a majority of the court upheld Michigan's law-school admissions policy but struck down the university's undergraduate formula.
"Student body diversity is a compelling state interest that can justify the use of race in university admissions," the court said in a landmark 5-4 opinion, authored by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, which upheld Michigan's law-school system.
In rejecting a challenge under the 14th Amendment equal protection clause brought by white applicant Barbara Grutter, Justice O'Connor said constitutional law required an end date on race preferences, and she set that mark at 25 years.Justice O'Connor's opinion was joined by Justices John Paul Stevens, David H. Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen G. Breyer in the first ruling ever in which a court majority held race to be a valid basis for admission to public institutions of higher education.
Dissenters were Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, and Justices Antonin Scalia, Anthony M. Kennedy and Clarence Thomas.
However, by a 6-3 vote in the separate undergraduate case - Gratz v. Bollinger - the court overturned the system at Michigan's College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, saying it assured "virtually automatic" admission for blacks, Hispanics and American Indians by giving them 20 of the needed 100 points on a 150-point scale. A perfect SAT or ACT score counted for 12 points.
In announcing from the bench that the undergraduate system violated both the Constitution and Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the chief justice dismissed the school's defense that it would be too burdensome to make the required case-by-case decisions.
"The fact that the implementation of a program capable of providing individualized consideration might present administrative challenges does not render constitutional an otherwise problematic system," he said.
The chief justice was joined by the other three dissenters in Grutter v. Bollinger - Justices Scalia, Kennedy and Thomas - plus Justices O'Connor and Breyer, to overturn the Michigan point system.
Justices Stevens, Souter and Ginsburg dissented.
The opposing impact of the two decisions - one upholding affirmative action and one striking it down - and the lack of a clear standard for an acceptable program mean that further rounds of litigation are inevitable.
"I think we will move on to another phase of litigation and legislation," said Miss Grutter, who filed the case against the law school.
President Bush paid homage to the courts' statement "recognizing the value of diversity on our nation's campuses," but he resumed his administration's stand that racial preferences virtually never were justified because colleges first must pursue several workable "race-neutral approaches."
"There are innovative and proven ways for colleges and universities to reflect our diversity without using racial quotas," the president said.
Terence J. Pell, head of the Center for Individual Rights, which represented the white students in both cases, acknowledged defeat in an attempt to prevent admissions officers from using race but said it would be harder to do in the future.
"We are seeing the beginning of the end for racial preferences," Mr. Pell said.
Education groups reveled in the Grutter ruling that said states had a compelling interest to assure a university student body was racially diverse, and minimized the 6-3 ruling that struck down Michigan's methods, which they had defended staunchly. …

I wanted to share with you that my page likes went over 100K today!!. I had 4K last April. I have an online business that did a total of $38K last year. As a part time business, I was thrilled with that. After taking your class, I got a bit more aggressive on my Facebook advertising and made a few changes on my product, and I am pleased to share in the first two months of my part time website has produced $120,000 in sales!! I just wanted to share that I applied your techniques and a lot of trial and error and wow!!. It's all still a work in progress, but we're going in the right direction. It's funny I am a beachbody coach, and I started following your classes to help with that biz, and as I kept learning I said hey I can apply this to my day job! It's great. Thank You So Much!!
– Ben Alford
Sandi- just a quick msg to tell you how much you've blessed my family and me. I'm a 7-figure earner (we just did 2 million in our very first year!!!! Pinch me.) I started my business when I was completely broke, with five (homeschooling) kids at home, and I was beyond frustrated with our financial situation. We were living paycheck to paycheck on a single carpenter's wage. Anyway, I took every spare dollar I had and invested into my knowledge and education. Your Facebook Ads 2.0 class was my first wake up call. I was making progress beforehand, but that catapulted my results. Since then, I haven't stopped listening and absorbing all your classes (I play you in the car, shower, kitchen…). So this is not just for 5 & 6 figure earners. What you teach is very valuable at every level. Thanks again and I hope to meet you in person someday soon!

When I signed up for the program with Sandi, I told my husband that my goal was to end the year making $125,000.
Last year I made $95k in my business – Today I ran some reports and I am at $124,047 for 2016! The next two months are our busiest time since we do gifts and flowers and such, and my goal is $35k which would bring me to $159k….that is almost 30K over my goal for 2016!
NOW that is some amazing ROI on my classes! I HAVE NOT even begun to implement all that I have learned. My goal for 2017 if $500,000 I would NEVER have dreamed this big had I not been surrounded by this group! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! This increase in revenues is not only helping my family but the lives our employees!
– Valerie Stanton, Thru The Grapevine Floral, Gifts & Home Decor
When I started, I kept this quietly to myself and had a goal of 6-figures! Today I met that goal of seeing over $8,333 made in one month and momentum is continuing to build!! I got the clarity and the tools to build my business, to change my client's lives and to change my family's life! The BIGGEST freedom I've ever felt is NOT from the amount of money… it's from KNOWING I will never be poor again. My daughters and I are living and loving at levels we've never known before. Much Love to Sandi & Jeremy!
– Catherine Whitcher
Being in Sandi's Program has increased what we were doing like it's on steroids! When I first started with Sandi, I had 700 people on my facebook page, and now I have cultivated a real following of over 53,000 people on Facebook, just doing $5-10/day in ads and using what Sandi Teaches! We are right at $10,000 a month in sales now for the first time and looking foward to the future of what's going to happen next! This is just the beginning!
Sandi's Program is the best investment I've ever made because it has lifted me to a higher level on what I'm doing, and I now know WHY I'm doing what I'm doing – and helping people. It's not just about my own financial gain but how I can better the lives of others through my business and that's what I love about VIP!
– Teresa Shields Parker
I started this program with a team of 550 Beachbody Coaches. I didn't have a solid system in place, and we weren't developing solid leaders. Now, just over 4 months later we have 651 coaches on our team, and it's NOT taking me more time to train them!
I didn't know how we would be able to grow before. I was struggling to know how to lead our team, how to train them, how to grow without working all day and neglecting my family. I have three kids 6, 4 and 7 months old who need me, and I wanted to find a way to be successful at this without neglecting them, and teaching other moms on our team (one has 11 kids!) how to do it too.
We are now on track to make over $100,000 in our business this year for the FIRST time!
-Shannon Golladay
Coming into this training I had built a business to a £500k per year turnover using nothing other than a weekly Newsletter, a Facebook page (with Sandi's training) and great search engine optimization. What I came into this program to do I've completed 80% of. I set out to make sure we add an eCommerce side to the business and even out our sales and make our cashflow more dialed in and predictable. What I also came to do was to monetize the skills that had built that business from scratch to where it is now having spent less than £2500 in 3 years on advertising. I had an idea for an online business club that needed structure. After the first few months of working with Sandi's training, I have the platform built and my first sales page in place. I now have my first workshop booked, and my credibility has become very established gaining me a new customer locally for social media services.
– Diane Cossie
Before I joined, I was in a great place as a successful author and speak & very successful in business, but I was living in a fog of confusion as to what direction I needed to go next with the skillsets I had acquired over the years. This program helped me narrow down and laser focus EXACTLY what I needed to do and what direction to go in from here. I would say, everyone, even if they are successful should jump into the program! The peace of mind and clarity you get is invaluable to take you to the next level, and you will discover things you didn't even predict you would expect to get out of it just being in this environment!

The Great Divide
In many ways, depression is a disease of disconnect. Stress at the speed of life drives you to recharge your batteries, to rest and refuel. Creating a temporary divide to reenergize is a natural and healthy reaction.
Unplugging for a time of solitude and separating for personal wellness are helpful, even required, over short periods to help you bounce back into the world.
When Does Disconnect Become Disease?
When you lose the want and will to interact, meet with family and friends, maintain key relationships, and let go of life, disconnect becomes disease.
Depression came as a imperceptible slide into isolation this time. It's different with each relapse. It's also hit me harder than a fast moving freight train.
Simple excuses of being tired from a hectic work schedule snowballed into active avoidance. Over time, I disconnected from all sources of joy and stability: Family, friends, and faith.
All the people and activities which formerly fueled me became impossible labors for which I no longer had interest nor strength. I've disconnected from everyone and everything – even myself.
Shame and guilt are my constant companions. Anger and irritability for my behavior, what I have done or left undone, and whom I believe I've become – this is the stuff of which days are made.
The Seducer enters. Self-medication through a self-destructive lifestyle, any relief is a temporary gift. The pain has to go somewhere.
Ultimately, depression carved me out of life and the life out of me.
An Antidote: Community
Fortunately, there's a way back. An uphill climb in an arid desert may be the path home, but I must take the steps to close the gap separating me from everything that's worthwhile. I must rejoin life.
Community is one antidote to this disease. I must:
- Stay connected with family and friends. A simple call to say hi or a text to let them know I'm thinking about them.
- Refuse to listen to the Liar. I can do this.
- Maintain mutual accountability with SW on our different but similar roads to wellness. Talking and accountability are great therapy.
- Be open and honest with myself and others.
- Focus on others and how I can help change my little piece of the world. Volunteer. Engage. Listen. Get out of my own head.
- Heal my soul through active faith and service lived authentically in a community of others.
- Embrace yes.
Community and connectedness are my nourishment on the dry journey through this season of sand.
That's enough for tonight. Tomorrow's another light.
From one sojourner to another, all the best…

Stocks edge higher; lunar eclipse due on Tuesday
Stocks edged higher last week as the Fed reaffirmed its commitment to stimulate the economy by any means necessary. The Dow closed at new highs for the year at 11,491 while the S&P500 finished at 1243. It was much the same result in Mumbai as markets rose almost 2% with the Sensex closing at 19,864 and the Nifty at 5948. While I thought we might see more downside on the Mercury-Mars conjunction early in the week, we can't be overly surprised that markets continue to rally here on the approach of the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction. The midweek aspect between the Sun and Jupiter-Uranus manifested a little early as stocks generally rose through Tuesday. The same was true for gold as it once again traded above $1400 in Tuesday's session before turning lower for the rest of the week.
So the optimism of Jupiter continues to operate in a bullish syncopation with the risk-orientation of Uranus. It is tempting to think the good times will continue all the way to their exact conjunction on January 4 2011. After all, that is in keeping with standard astrological thinking as conjunctions are most strongly felt right at the point of exactitude. But even here it is important to note that conjunctions sometimes do not act exactly as advertised. Some conjunctions peak earlier than expected due to the presence of other factors, while the effect of others last well after they are exact, as we saw with the previous Jupiter-Uranus conjunction on September 15. This not only sparked the rally off the late August bottom, but the rally continued well into November. This was perhaps due to the fact that although past exact, the retrograde motion of both planets meant that they would continue to be in close proximity (less than 3 degrees) to each other for over three months. But once the faster moving Jupiter passes Uranus on January 4, there will be no future conjunctions until 2024. So that is an argument perhaps that the upcoming conjunction may not behave as bullishly as the last one did.
As always, other facts have to be considered. One such factor is the impending eclipse period, which begins with a lunar eclipse on Tuesday, December 21. Eclipses generally occur in pairs and the accompanying solar eclipse is slated for January 4 2011. That is certainly an intriguing coincidence given that this second eclipse will fall on the same day as the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction. Eclipses are generally seen as destabilizing events which can change market direction and upset the status quo. Just as the light of the Sun is blocked or interrupted in a solar eclipse, so are prevailing trends "interrupted" by solar eclipses. That is one reason why earthquakes and volcanoes tend to cluster around eclipse periods -- there is an upset in the Earth's status quo.
Readers may recall that the previous two eclipse series were closely implicated in market reversals. In January 2010, the market topped in the US on January 19, just four days after a solar eclipse, and then tumbled more than 10% over the next three weeks. The solar eclipse followed a preceding lunar eclipse which had occurred on Dec 29. The next eclipse period happened very close to the US market bottom on July 2, as a lunar eclipse occurred on June 26 and this was followed by a solar eclipse on July 11. In light of the tendency of eclipses to reverse trends, there is additional reason to think that the current rally and underlying optimism surrounding the market may be "interrupted" quite soon. The fact that the solar eclipse falls on the same day as the completion of the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction only adds to the likelihood that changes are afoot.
Besides Tuesday's lunar eclipse, this week will see Mercury forming aspects with Uranus and Jupiter. Since all three of these planets are nominally positive energies, there is some reason to expect more upside, presumably earlier in the week when the aspects are closest. After Tuesday, however, the positive effects of these aspects will likely wane and caution may soon move in on the Venus-Saturn aspect later in the week. Sentiment is likely to get even more cautions and perhaps downright tense in the week after Christmas as Mars squares Saturn.

As consumer concern around healthful consumption continues to grow, dynamic juice bar concepts that provide a healthy quick service option are flourishing.
A common theme that can be observed in much of the current juice bar merchandising is the inclusion of plants and as much greenery as possible. By including lush examples of fresh produce, stores are able to align their product with the tactile nature of the raw decor. Additionally, the use of vibrant colors that reflect the hues of the produce as well as earthy tones are often used in visual branding. Sustainable construction materials are often used when building in-store infrastructure in a move that further aligns the decor with the values of the brand itself.

Playground Marking Graphics
Playground marking graphics are an important part to enhance your play area and make it a fun and educational environment for the children to play in. We are regularly asked to install thermoplastic designs in nurseries, schools, parks and playgrounds and we have a wide range of markings to choose from.
Thermoplastic markings are not just fun, they can be educational and also bring the community together. This is because snakes and ladders and hopscotch designs have numbers on them and children will be learning in an activity. They can bring the pupils and community together because we're often asked to install friendship stops and recreational quiet areas.
The playground markings that we can install are available in a number of different colours and designs depending on your individual needs and requirements. We may alter designs to meet your spending budget, so please do not be afraid to let us know how much you are planning to spend on the graphics that we install.
Playground Marking Installation
Playground marking graphics can transform, renovate and revitalise your dull tarmac surface and make it a nicer place for the children and something which they will want to use. The process is very quick and cost effective, minimising disruptions on site. We place the plastic material in the correct area, then apply heat to the design. This makes the plastic shape melt and stick onto the macadam flooring.
Schools outdoor play areas used to have to paint markings applied to the tarmac; this was a longer process and would have to be done regularly when the paint was worn off. These designs last much longer and look a lot better because they are preformed and brighter colours and various patterns could be applied to them.
You can find out more about playground marking installation by talking to a member of our team. Please take a moment to contact us through the quick and easy form on this page if you have any questions about costs and design choices for these markings. One of our experts will send you over a few case studies and examples of the products we have available, as well as discussing a quote for your project.
Play Surface Markings Design
It is becoming more popular to have play surface markings designed and installed in schools, this is most likely due to that fact that Ofsted see thermoplastic graphics as an opportunity for students to be learning outside. Some pupils learn better outside and also being involved in activities, having the option for outside learning can improve your students' educations and also your schools Ofsted report.
We install a range of designs, including graphics appropriate for KS1, KS2, KS3 and KS4, the graphics choice is endless and we are always up for hearing new possible designs which your organisation could have. Some facilities have old and worn out markings and want to replace, reline or remove them and this is another service which we are able to offer.
If you'd like to see one of our completed projects from start to finish, check out this short video clip below. This shows our team installing a solid colour Snakes and Ladders grid for a school play area:
When installing lots of thermoplastic designs, there is normally a theme which the graphics follow, such as jungles or sea life and this can be because of the educational curriculum which they are following. Play surface markings design allow your students have a great tarmac surface which both you and them may be proud of. It can also make your macadam surface look new and fresh.
Play Area Painting
We can also paint macadam surfaces, either black or another chosen colour and then apply the thermoplastic markings. Tarmac is quick to fade and it can look old and worn out when this happens. This is why we offer painting services to improve the look of the area before applying the thermoplastic shapes.
We offer prices and advice regarding the best type of playground marking graphics to install for your recreational area. Please contact us through our enquiry form and we'd be happy to answer any questions you have.
Activity Marking Installers
Many schools get playground markings in order to improve the benefits of the facility. It can also encourage the youngsters to play outside, as well as impressing OFSTED staff. Playground markings are often important for the children's education and learning, together with their entertainment and fitness levels. They are perfect for pupils of all ages in both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.
Alongside normal, fun recreational graphics, there are educational graphics. These can cover a number of subjects, for example maths and English. The designs include number grids, alphabets, phonics, targets and roadways. Our activity marking installers can also provide other playground activity graphics and great prices so make sure to contact us today for a quote.

Play surface markings may be beneficial in improving pupils' fitness and all around health and it's an ideal way to make fitness become fun. For school children, weight problems are a growing issue and inactivity can even affect the NHS. Having outdoor exercise spaces is a terrific way to increase health and fitness. There are plenty of organisations who can have colourful playground designs put down. The designs that our installers apply come from high quality materials. Because of this, they provide resilience and long term results.
As kids are going to be running and playing on the graphics, it is essential for them to be safe to use. Completely new thermoplastic surface markings can also make a facility look a lot more colourful and appealing, this may attract pupils and parents to the school, as well as increase your OFSTED review. All of the designs are excellent for pupils in various age groups, and they could even create individual fun games.
Maintaining Thermoplastic Designs
We provide many designs and styles for the markings so that they may be perfectly suitable for your primary school. Plastic play area graphics are usually suitable for leisure areas, primary schools and day care organisations. They're tough and durable enough for everyday use and various weather conditions. We can additionally complete repair and restoration for tired graphics. This is for existing markings which might have been worn out or become weakened with time. We are also able to implement traditional play area markings. Some of these designs include:
- Duck Duck Goose
- Target Throwing
- Hopscotch
- What's the Time Mr Wolf?
- Snakes and Ladders
- Compasses
The application process of thermoplastic markings is fairly simple and quick. This helps in reducing interruption in primary schools and nursery playgrounds. The graphic designs should be put on the playground surface and then heated so they soften and adhere to the tarmac. As soon as the application is complete, the graphics leave a vibrant and long lasting appearance. They are a great way to increase a playground's appearance so it's more enjoyable for school children. Our distinct range of products is wonderful for encouraging children to learn and have fun whilst actively playing outdoors.
Maintaining thermoplastic designs is fairly easy as long as you clean them regularly. In some cases you may need reapplication or removal of thermoplastics. Our team can carry out these services easily, so please make certain to contact us for more details.
Speak to Us
If you would like any further details on the playground marking graphics we can offer, please speak to us using the contact form provided. A member of our professional team will get back to you with more details regarding the costs and designs.

According to WCIA Online, the same driveway in Champaign has been the same crime scene only 6 months apart to two cars being set on fire. Authorities have confirmed someone intentionally set a car on fire in the 3000 block of Stoneway Court Friday,12/17/17, around 3 am. The landlord of the building also confirmed that only six months ago there was also another car fire. The car owners have decided to remain anonymous, but they both were only visiting someone who lived at the building where their cars were parked. The landlord believes the fires are suspicious since some of the tenants are behind on rent. Luckily Fire Officials have helped in both cases contain the fires and minimal damages were done and none of the building caught fire, just some smoke damage. The investigation continues.

Hunter Renfroe hit a three-run home run in his first game back from Triple-A and Austin Hedges also connected for the San Diego Padres, who beat NL wild card leader Arizona 4-2 on Monday night.
Renfroe drove a 1-1 pitch from lefty Patrick Corbin to straightaway center field with two outs in the first, his 11th. He was demoted to Triple-A El Paso on Aug. 18 to work on his hitting.
Corbin (14-13) retired the first two batters before allowing Wil Myers' double that bounced over the fence in left-center. The pitcher then walked Yangervis Solarte before Renfroe connected.
Hedges homered to left-center on a 3-1 pitch with one out in the second, his 18th.
The Diamondbacks closed the gap in the third with RBI singles by David Peraltaand J.D. Martinez off Luis Perdomo (8-10).
Arizona had a great chance to add on in the sixth after Perdomo loaded the bases with one out. But Padres manager Andy Green turned to Craig Stammen, who got Chris Herrmann to fly out to left, and Renfroe's strong throw home held Daniel Descalso at third. Rey Fuentes, pinch-hitting for Corbin, popped up to first to end the threat.
Brad Hand pitched the ninth for his 19th save.
Perdomo allowed two runs and four hits in 5 1/3 innings, struck out two and walked six.
Corbin allowed four runs and four hits in five innings, struck out three and walked three.
Diamondbacks: LF David Peralta left in the bottom of the sixth with tightness in his right quad.
Diamondbacks: RHP Zack Godley (8-7, 3.00) is scheduled to start Tuesday night. He is 3-0 with a 2.33 ERA in his last four starts.
Padres: LHP Travis Wood (3-6, 6.80) is 4-2 with a 3.08 ERA in 11 career games, including nine starts, at Petco Park.

Geek guide to surviving a zombie apocalypse: Part I
|January 27, 2011
|Posted by Angry Nerd under zombies
On the geek front, things have been quiet the last few weeks. This is partly because I'm switching jobs, thus interviewing is taking up more time than normal, but it's also because I've been preparing the next big series of articles for geeky.nu.
In addition to being a certified geek, I'm a zombie apocalypse survivor. Through the years, I've survived 14 zombie apocalypses and one plague of gophers. This may not sound impressive, but those gophers are MEAN! Especially after they've been zombiefied! At any rate, I've come to realize that most of my geek brethren are not well suited for surviving a zombie apocalypse; zombies are notoriously hard to impress with your collection of epics from World of Warcraft, always try to move when it isn't their turn in Warhammer, and keep thinking the captain in Star Trek is a jedi! Clearly normal geek customs will serve you poorly in the times of zombie apocalypses. And I can't imagine being a survivor in a world without geeks – there would be nothing to write about!
So, I've decided to do the only thing I CAN do to help geeks survive in the cold, brain-munching times of the zombie apocalypse. Over the next few weeks, I will explain the basics of zombieology (is that even a word?), covering some different tactics for survival, various ways to combat zombies, different theories behind zombieism, and other things you may find useful.
I'm going to start you off lightly over the next couple of days with some basic terminology. It's important to understand what kind of zombies you're up against, and the stage of the zombie invasion. Today, we'll cover the 5 basic types of zombies, from least to most dangerous:
Type E zombie: "crawler"
This is a zombie that has decayed to the point where it is no longer bipedal. It may have from 1 to 3 working limbs (get your minds out of the gutter, you pervs), of which only one is a functional leg. Zombies of this type represent the least dangerous type as they cannot effectively swarm a survivor, thus robbing the zombies of their most dangerous tactic.
Zombies like this are still dangerous to the unattentive, however. They can still spread the infection, and thus they should not be ignored. More than one survivor have taken out a mob of zombies, only to be bitten by the crawler he forgot about.
Type D zombie: "rotter"
Rotters are zombies who are suffering from advancing decay. They are still bipedal, but large segments of their body and musculature have been destroyed. Some strains of the zombie virus seem to create rotters by default, while others are shamblers (see below) who have been unable to feed for a long time.
Rotters are the slowest and clumsiest of the bipedal zombies. They have only the most basic motor control, lack balance, and tend to trip and lurch a lot. They display no coordination and no desires beyond the drive to feed, and rotters tend to fall dormant without external stimulation. Also, because of their advanced state of decay, rotters are very vulnerable to blunt trauma: a blow that might only stagger a shamble may sever a limb from a rotter. However, they can still be dangerously strong and aggressive when given the opportunity to feed.
Type C zombie: "shambler"
The shambler is the stereotypical zombies. They move relatively slowly, are dimly aware of their surroundings, but care for little except the opportunity to feed. They tend to wander areas that were important to them in life; historically this meant that zombies would roam churches and graveyards, but in modern times you can expect to find them around shoping malls and pubs.
Shamblers seem to be slightly social creatures, preferring to move in groups. They will react to movement and sound, and thus, fighting one shambler tend to attract others. This is what makes shamblers so dangerous. Also, because their bodies are relatively intact, disabling a shambler can be hard. WARNING: shamblers seem to be able to retain some slight awareness of concepts such as doors and windows, meaning that they may potentially understand that there are doorways to places where potential food is. This can lead to shamblers breaking down barricades and doors in order to reach survivors. If there are shamblers around your hideout, they should be monitored at all times!
Type B zombie: "ghoul"
Ghouls are zombies who have retained some VERY basic human memories, and are in the very early stages of decomposition. Ghouls tend to move very much like a stiff, injured human does, and do not generally have the characteristic zombie lurch. They may retain the ability to work door handles, make simple plans, and even disguise themselves as injured survivors for a very brief time. Some have been witnessed using tools and even weapons. While some ghouls may retain memories of people they knew in life, they are as likely to single them out for attack as they are to spare them. Remember that while the zombie of your girlfriend may smile at you like she did in life, she's planning to eat you in a completely different way now!
There is no strain of the zombie virus that consequently creates ghouls. The most common reason for "ghouling" is when a otherwise healthy person is infected by the virus, and dies as a result. Only physically intact people seem to be able to rise as ghouls instead of shamblers.
Ghoul seems to be a transitory state for most zombies, and they retain their limited memories for days or hours. One theory is that ghouls only remain ghouls as long as they are able to feed regularly; this may explain why zombies are constantly seeking out the flesh of the living. Being unable to feed destroys what memories and mental abilities they retain. This remains an untested theory, however.
Type A zombie: "runner"
Quite simply, these are zombies that move like humans. They can run. They can climb. They can maneuver effectively to bypass obstacles. But they still feel no pain, care for nothing but feeding, and can only be killed by destroying the brain. Afraid? You should be!
Runners are sometimes known as super-zombies. While they may not retain the memories like ghouls, they do seem to be able to work as a group, using encircling tactics and even laying traps. Runners are the boogeymen among a race that's ALL boogey, and you better hope you're well armed and have friends if you come across them. It has been theorized that runners are in fact a completely different breed of creatures, with little in common with zombies.
Zombie critters
Some strains of the zombie virus seems to affect animals. While animals never degenerate into full zombies, most animals so affected go berserk, They're rabid, violent and usually don't feel pain. Some may spread the infection, and all will try to eat you.

But I think you forgot the "Type Ö Zombie" otherwise called the Land of the Dead zombie, who couldnt care less about flesh or brains.. he just wants somewhere to live and a hot bubble bath to warm up his gangrene.. =P

Zombies are dead, remember.

Christmas Memories – the Poem
The chilly evenings, evergreens and blustery winter breeze,
The ice and snow and sleet combined that make you start to freeze,
The Christmas trees, the ornaments, the egg-nog in a bowl,
The stockings overflowed with gifts, the stockings filled with coal,
Ol' Saint Nick, Frosty too, and Rudolph's nose so bright,
Carolers on porches proudly singing Silent Night,
Lights on houses—blue, and green, yellow, also red,
And Jesus sleeping cozy in His little manger bed,
The spreads of food, the families bunched, the friends of past who call,
The scissors, tape and wrapping gifts, the crowds that fill the mall,
The "Deck The Halls" on radios, the snowballs thrown for fun,
The grandpas with the children while the family tales are spun,
The wondering, the snooping, the hunt for hidden things,
The smells that burst from kitchens that are boasting cherry rings,
The grandmas bringing presents, vacations closing stores,
The little needles from the trees covering the floors,
The four-course meals, the peaceful naps, the games that children play,
The restless reindeer night-patrols preceding Christmas day,
The aunts that bring the trays of food and church on Christmas Eve,
The cousins with the brand new toys that never want to leave,
The afghan grandma weaved, those corny Underoos,
The Christmas lights around the house—the ones that blew the fuse,
The choo-choos for the kiddies, the fires burning logs,
The biscuits wrapped with bows – the presents bought for dogs,
The catalogs, the moms and dads that form those elf-like teams,
The milk and cookies halfway gone that boosts their children's dreams,
The endless streams of gifts that flood from house to house to house,
The parents up on Christmas Eve as silent as a mouse,
The special treats for spouses, the candles that enchant,
The everlasting spheres of love that parents can implant,
The angels on the mantle, the stockings underneath,
The goofy faces children make with candy-canes for teeth,
The wreaths all decorated, the popcorn on the trees,
Nothing ever warms my soul like Christmas memories!

Experiential Therapy
Experiential therapy refers to the broad class of humanistic and phenomenological therapies that emerged in the 1940s and were developed thereafter as an alternative to behavioral and psychoanalytic perspectives. The experiential psychotherapy tradition is best exemplified by the work of Carl Rogers and Fritz Perls, the founders of client-centered and gestalt therapy, respectively. Other writers in the client-centered tradition such as Eugene Gendlin, who has extensively used the term experiential therapy, have made important contributions to the theory and practice of experiential psychotherapy as have others from humanistic and existential traditions (Frankl, 1959; Jourard, 1971; Laing, 1975; Mahrer, 1978, 1983, 1986; Whittaker, 1975). Although there are important differences between gestalt therapy and client-centered therapy just as there are differences between different cognitive theorists such as Beck and Meichenbaum, for the purposes of this chapter we will be looking at the common, core aspects of these approaches that define them as experiential.

Qantas says it is shocked, shocked that a retired 747 it sold from a desert airplane graveyard in Arizona to a UAE middleman wound up in Iran. The sale came to light back in April 2012 when the Bureau of Industry and Security ("BIS") issued a temporary denial order against Sayegh Group Aviation, the U.A.E. company that bought three 747s from Qantas and had already, through a series of interconnected straw companies, leased one of the aircraft to Aban Air in Iran.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald story linked above, the Iranian deal was uncovered by CSDS Aircraft Sales and Leasing, a California-based company which blew the whistle on the deal after Qantas rebuffed its own efforts to buy the planes from Qantas. CSDS said it had previously been approached by Sayegh to purchase aircraft, but that these approaches had raised "red flags" for it. When CSDS heard that Qantas sold the planes to Sayegh instead, it contacted U.S. authorities. The President of CSDS told the Sydney Morning Herald that Qantas "could have easily figured it out if they wanted to."
Qantas, naturally, disagrees.
"It's drawing a very long bow to suggest that we're responsible for the conduct of third parties, who owned or leased aircraft several transactions after the original date," a Qantas spokesman says.
"Whenever we sell an aircraft, we carry out extensive due diligence on the buyer and their intended use of the aircraft and include strict, specific clauses in the sale agreement reinforcing the buyer's obligation to comply with all relevant international export controls and regulations."
There is no evidence that Qantas is under investigation in the U.S. in connection with the sale of the 747 to Iran, so, apparently, U.S. authorities agree with Qantas.

Frequently Asked Questions
An aerial park is a combination of ladders, bridges, climbing elements and zip lines spread throughout acres of wooded beauty. Climbers proceed from platform to platform through the course elements, then enjoy a short zip to the next set of elements. Our newest course, FrankenZip, is a fan-favorite with 7 long zip lines at heights ranging from 15 – 35 feet off the ground.
There are a total of 6 courses that vary in difficulty ranging from beginner to expert. As one progresses through the difficulty levels, the bridges become less stable under your feet, requiring more balance, agility, focus and arm strength.
You will be pleasantly surprised! We specialize in servicing first-time climbers. Our easiest course is "Yellow" and has two zip lines and easier elements including walking across a cargo net, logs and cable maneuvers. Our park monitors will give you a training session before you climb and will always be available to help.
Wear well-fitting clothing that does not allow anything to hang loose or get tangles in the cables or rope. Long hair and jewelry should not be left loose. Sneakers or hiking shoes are recommended. Close-toed shoes are required – heels, flip-flops and sandals are not acceptable. Shoes are available for purchase in the park yurt, as are gloves if you prefer not to use park issued gloves.
There is no height restriction. Weight restriction is 265 pounds. Other restrictions pertain to the youngest climbers. Children/Youth 7-13 years of age can use the beginner trail (Yellow) with accompaniment by an adult (Age 18+) or adult supervision from the park ground.
Ticket pricing can be found on our pricing page. Every climber must purchase a ticket, harnesses may not be shared. Group rates are available for groups of 6 or more. Please see the GROUPS page for more information.
You can expect 2-3 hours of climbing on 6 leveled courses. This includes 15 minutes of training.
A harness and gloves are provided. Climbers must supply their own close-toed shoes. Shoes and gloves, if you prefer your own pair of gloves, are available for purchase in the park store.
Most people that lead an active lifestyle and are in good health should not have any difficulty in completing the first few leveled trails. You proceed through the trails at your own pace. You are welcome to leave the aerial trails and take a break. The higher levels are very challenging.
Climbing in the park can still be fun while it is raining. However, the park will close for severe weather such as heavy rain thunderstorms and high winds. If small storms are moving through the area we try to stay open and ask our guests to take a break while they pass. If for any reason the park must close, vouchers will be made available for a future climb that same season. Call before you travel or check the Facebook page to confirm the operating schedule.
