Sir Alexander Fleming (August 6, 1881 – March 11, 1955) discovered the antibiotic substance lysozyme and isolated the antibiotic substance penicillin from the fungus Penicillium notatum.
Fleming was born on a farm at Lochfield in Ayrshire, Scotland and was schooled for two years at the Academy in Kilmarnock. He later attended St Mary's Hospital medical school in London until World War I broke out. He participated in a battlefield hospital with many of his colleagues in the fronts of France. Being exposed to the horrific medical infections by the dying soldiers, he returned to St. Mary's after the war with renewed energy in searching for an improved antiseptic.
Both of Fleming's discoveries happened entirely by accident during the 1920s. The first, lysozyme, was discovered after mucus from his nose dropped into a bacterium laced Petri dish (he sneezed). A few days later, it was noted that bacteria where the mucus had fallen had been destroyed.
Fleming's labs were usually in disarray, which led to be to his advantage. In September 1928, he was sorting through the many idle experiments strewn about his lab. He inspected each specimen before discarding it and noticed an interesting fungal colony had grown as a contaminant on one of the agar plates streaked with the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. Fleming inspected the Petri dish further and found that the bacterial colonies around the fungus were transparent because their cells were lysing. Lysis is the breakdown of cells, and in this case, potentially harmful bacteria. The importance was immediately recognized, however the discovery was still underestimated. Fleming issued a publication about penicillin in the British Journal of Experimental Pathology in 1929.
Fleming worked with the mould for some time, but refining and growing it was a difficult process better suited to chemists. In part by believing its effect may only hold valid with small infections and further by not being well received within the community, the drug was not developed for mass distribution until World War II when Howard Florey and Ernst Boris Chain developed a method of purifying penicillin to a form that was useful for medical treatment of infection.
For his achievements, Fleming was knighted in 1944 and shared the Nobel prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1945 with Florey and Ernst Boris Chain. Florey was later given the higher honour of a peerage for his monumental work in making penicillin available to the public and saving millions of lives in World War II. Florey's work proceeded over the misgivings of Fleming, who believed that penicillin, for all its intrinsic worth, would not be able to be produced in sufficient quantities to have an appreciable effect in a war situation.
Fleming was long a member of the Chelsea Arts Club, a private club for artists of all genres, founded in 1891 at the suggestion of the painter James McNeil Whistler. Fleming was admitted to the club after he made "germ paintings," in which he drew with a culture loop using spores of highly pigmented bacteria. The bacteria were invisible while he painted, but when cultured made bright colours.
Fleming died in 1955 of a heart attack. He was buried as a national hero in the crypt of St. Paul's Cathedral in London. His discovery of penicillin had changed the world of modern medicines by introducing the age of useful antibiotics.

British Go Journal No. 2. Autumn 1967. Page 19.
Part 1d of this series is on page 12 of BGJ 1.
Diagram 1
Diagram 2
Dia 1 is the most popualr of the alternatives at this point. It is played to reduce the corner and stabilise white 1.
3 in Dia 2 would not be much good as 4 then 5 would overconcentrate the white forces too much.
Diagram 3
Black 4 is an easier option and takes the corner, but it leaves white with a stable group.
Diagram 4
Diagram 5
White 5 secures some territory along the south side, but does not pressure black much. Later if white 7, black is advised to protect the corner with 8.
For if he does not, Dias 5-9 may occur.
Diagram 6
Diagram 7
After Dia 5, Dia 6 follows if the ladder at A works, gaining all the corner. Or Dia 7, an even exchange, if the ladder doesn't work for white.
Diagram 8
Or Black can play 12 as Dia 8, letting white 15 connect out.
Diagram 9
White 5 is very infrequently played, and only when it is also an extension from a white position in the northwest. This is because black can force with the sequence in Dia 9, leaving black with the option of 12 at A or B.
Diagram 10
This black 4 is an altogether more complicated play, and for this reason is not to be recommended in handicap games. It destroys potential white territory along the south side and thus it is usually only combined with an extension from the southeast. It also threatens to gain influence towards the centre at teh cost of leaving the corner open for white to take.
Diagram 11
Diagram 12
White 5' at A followed by black 6' at B and white 5' at C followed by black 6' at 5 are quite good for black; so usually 5 in Dia 11 is played, invariably followed by black 6.
White 7 in Dia 12 follows, taking the corner, but giving black an equivalent amount of influence after 8-10.
Diagram 13
Or Black can play 8 as Dia 13.
Diagram 14
Diagram 15
Instead of 7 in Dia 11, White can choose the more complicated 7 in Dia 14. The simplest and best course for black is shown, taking a small corner and leaving some fighting in the centre for later. [SGB: Surely white has taken a small corner, not black!]
Or, more commonly, White can choose the variant in Dia 15, taking the west side and sente. [SGB: Who gets the west side? Who gets sente? I don't understand.]
Diagram 16
This white 3 is rarely seen after black 2, as the cross-cut of white 5' at A does not appear. It is generally used to secure a live group here quickly. 4 and 5 are invariably played.
Diagram 17
Diagram 18
Diagram 19
When black plays 6 as a double hane, Dia 17 is the variation if white replies at 7. Or if white 7 in Dia 18, at the end black has more than white.
Thus the best for White is Dia 19.
Diagram 20
Diagram 21
After black 6 in Dia 20, white should now simply answer with 7 to achieve his object of a stable group. 6' at A or B would be bad; 6' at A allows 7' at C with advantage and 6' at B overconcentrates the black forces as shown in Dia 21.
[ Compare Dia 21 with Ishida Joseki Vol 3 page 117 Dia 32. === sgb ]
Diagram 22
Diagram 23
Again white 3 in Dia 22 is played only occasionally, it stops a further black expansion in this direction as it is possible for black to answer 2' at A with Dia 23 and give up the corner.
The recommended black reply to 3 in Dia 22 is 4, waiting to attack 3 or 1 later. This is the ideal defensive formation after a play at 2.
Diagram 24
White 3 in Dia 24 should not normally be played as it gives black too much compensation for the loss of the corner after black 12. (This is the standard technique for taking the influence along the south side after an invasion at 3 against most black extensions along the west side.)

Former Secretary of State pictured with elitists, actors in secret forest retreat
Steve Watson
April 15, 2013
Photos hacked from Colin Powell's personal email account show the former Secretary of State posing with famous actors at the notorious elite camp at the secretive Bohemian Grove.
In one shot, Powell is seen sitting opposite George Shultz, another former Secretary of State. Both are reclining in a chairs with the word 'Mandalay' written on the back, confirming that Powell is a member of one of the most exclusive camp factions of the Bohemian Club.
The Mandalay camp is populated by many well known figures in big business, defense, politics, and even some former U.S. Presidents.
In other shots, Powell, who will forever be remembered for presenting phony evidence on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs, is seen performing a song with a backing band.
In further photographs, the retired four-star US general is joined on the stage by famous entertainment figures including the actor Malcolm McDowell.
The photos are emblazoned with the tag of 'Guccifer', a mysterious hacker that seems bent on exposing illuminati connections to elite figures.
In recent weeks, Guccifer has taken credit for hacking Gen. Powell's Facebook, recovering what are believed to be sensitive emails sent to former President George W. Bush, and even uncovering emails about last year's Benghazi, Libya terrorist attack allegedly sent to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
One email uncovered by the hacker, revealed that former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was urged by other elitists to attend the Bohemian Grove's annual mock sacrifice "cremation of care" ritual in 2012. Following a decline addressed to George Shultz from Blair on the grounds that he was too busy, Powell was asked in a separate email by News Corp executive Andrew Knight to ensure that Blair get his "priorities straight" in the future.
"Might you be able gently/firmly to point out to Tony that you rank the Bohemia Middle Weekend in your diary before allowing any other duties to get in the way?!" Knight wrote. "Lack of exposure suggests that Tony has not yet got his priorities straight."
As we have previously reported, insiders at The Grove have revealed that the gathering is far more serious than the 'summer holiday camp' tag routinely attached to the powwow by the establishment media. Members are said to "constantly" discuss business and politics, with many history defining political decisions and policies having unfolded at the confab.
In the midst of such activity, the pagan like rituals and allegations of illicit sexual activity have focused a great deal of unwanted attention on the annual gathering in recent years.
Alex Jones made history in 2000 when he became the first journalist to capture on video the 'cremation of care' ceremony, where Grove members dressed in Eyes Wide Shut-style hooded capes make a mock child sacrifice to Moloch, the pagan owl god, represented as a 50 foot statue carved out of a hollowed redwood tree.
Steve Watson is the London based writer and editor for Alex Jones' Infowars.com, and Prisonplanet.com. He has a Masters Degree in International Relations from the School of Politics at The University of Nottingham, and a Bachelor Of Arts Degree in Literature and Creative Writing from Nottingham Trent University.

Spell to lose weight-sympathetic magick
Greetings wonderful bloggers. How have you been? I am feeling great. Back on my feet, so to speak, but i still wanted to give a little boost to myself , especially towards my healthiness goals. I have been meaning to write this post a little earlier but with all that buzz going around the internet about obese pagans, it did n't feel right to me. As i already told you before i got really frustrated about close minded people being unaccepting and judgemental towards one another, whether it had to do with weight or veils or fashion choices for that matter.
I truly believe that Paganism as a religion or more like it as a philosophy, has the rare quality of being a mosaic of beliefs and practices and the common ground is most of the time the love of the Earth and the love of the Mother and Father. Individuality is a big part of our faith and acceptance should be a given. Let me say that i believe all bodies are sacred, all bodies are beautiful no matter the age, the height, the weight, the colour of the skin, hair, eyes.
As long as i can remember i battled with extra pounds. In the past they used to be imaginary until they became very real. And then from being skinny i got to be obese. Then after the Goddess's help doctors found what was wrong with me and fixed some hormonal imbalancies and weight loss was possible again. I lost a lot of weight since and now have less but still a lot to go. It takes a lot of hard work but now i do not stress about it, because losing weight is something that comes naturally and is not forced.
The Autumn Equinox is almost here, one of my favorite celebrations and the quest for balance is emphasised by nature Herself. If one of your balance goals is losing weight this spell has helped me a lot in the past. It falls into the category of sympathetic magick, because you will make a poppet of yourself from flour and water. This is one of the reasons why this spell is so fitted for a Mabon celebration. You will need except for flour and water, a candle, a piece of beautiful red fabric, a piece of belladonna root, a few red rosepetals, some sandalwood and a few mandrake flakes.
It will seem hard at first and it will probably not come out perfect but you will still put your intent into the poppet. You will shape it into your ideal shape(more or less again you are not going for perfect here) and you will put the hands together to the belly of the poppet as if they hold a bouquet. There you will put the piece of belladonna root(which stands for beautiful lady). Then you will put the poppet into the red fabric and spinkle on top some red rose petals, sandalwood and a few mandrake root flakes. As always in sympathetic magick you have to put a lot of you into the poppet. You will add some hair of yours touching your poppet's top of head, you will take some of your saliva with your finger and put it where the mouth should be and you will drop a drop of your blood at the place where the heart should be. Then you will write on a piece of paper your wish burn it over the candle burning in front of you(although this is clearly a Venus spell i usually burn red candles for these types of spells, its your choice) and put the ashes in the areas you want to transform. Close the fabric around the poppet and bury it, in your garden, in a sacred spot, or even in a pot. Just make sure noone will see it or move it.
Until next time, be blessed, be loved and be very very witchy!
Greetings blogfriends. How are you? I really missed you. The following post is not the one i intended to write. It is a rant. So, run while you still can. The Wheel is turning and once again you can smell it in the air. The days are shortening but are warm and full of light. The nights the breeze makes my soul travel. This is my favorite time of the year...usually. Not this year. I spent all summer dreading this moment. The time that it all starts all over again. This is my first day in the conservatory and i could n't help it but cry. The pressure is too much. I knew it would be like that and i spent my summer hiding and watching tv shows. I could n't come here and write. Writing requires thought and thoughts come with emotions and i was blocking them. I had so much to share with you. A weight loss spell that i know you would love. Some archaic german spells that i found really interesting. The Eco Eco Azarac debate. But this time i find it really hard to stop spiralling inwards and let go of fear. Will i make it? Will i be good? Will the time be enough?

They're actually called "karakuri ningyou" (からくり人形) or, literally, "trick doll." And get ready to be amazed.
Throughout history, people all over the world have made robots. The 19th century, in particular, was a great period for automata. In Japan, one master karakuri ningyou craftsman was Hisashige Tanaka, who's also been called "The Thomas Edison of Japan." Here, you can see a writing doll he created.
If you've ever studied Japanese or Chinese calligraphy, you'll know that this type of brush work isn't easy for humans to do, let alone 200 year-old dolls.
His most famous karakuri creation, however, was the archer doll he made. You might have seen it before. Recently, karakuri ningyou, which are quite famous in Japan, popped up on 2ch, the country's largest bulletin board.
The doll moves thanks to a network of pullies, strings, and a turning cam. This doll is controlled by ten pieces of string—six of which control the head. The string gives the dolls smooth, almost elegant body movements.
Here's a closer look:
Japan's love of robots is said to have started with these mechanical dolls.
This isn't the most impressive thing Tanaka ever did. He also designed and built Japan's first steam locomotive. He helped design and produce modern weapons, ground-breaking chronometers, and a revolutionary clock. He also co-founded the company that's today known as Toshiba.
All that being said, these karakuri dolls are pretty effing incredible.

Birthday of Tin Hau
Tin Hau's Birthday falls on the 23rd day of the third lunar month.
Hong Kong's maritime heritage ensures that Tin Hau, Goddess of the Sea and patron saint of fishermen, has a strong and loyal following here. On her birthday, locals flock to the more than 70 temples dedicated to her to pray for safety, security, fine weather and full fishing nets during the coming year. So enduring is the reverence for Tin Hau that this festival is even celebrated by many young people who are more likely to see a fish in a restaurant than on a trawler.
Festivities at Shap Pat Heung
Processions in Shap Pat Heung (which means '18 villages' in Cantonese) in Yuen Long include a three-hour parade featuring nearly 30 fa pau (floral wreaths) groups, lion dancers, as well as dancing groups and marching bands from local schools.
- MTR Yuen Long Station, Exit F. Walk through YOHO MALL II and walk along the footbridge to Fung Cheung Road (for approximately 10 minutes).
Fa Pau Raffle
The raffling of fa pau depicting Tin Hau is an indispensible part of the Shap Pat Heung Tin Hau festivities. Villagers believe that whoever wins the fa pau gains good fortune and protection in the coming year. In olden times, the fa pau were attached to rockets and fired into the air. Young men from different villages would fight to get the biggest chunks. Today, it is a more sedate affair, with a raffle held to decide which village takes home the wreaths. Amongst them, the Ding Choy Pau is especially sought after as it is believed the winning village will be blessed with good fortune ('choy') and fertility ('ding').
The Yuen Long area is rich in cultural attractions. Be sure to check out the Tai Shu Ha Tin Hau Temple, Tai Wong Temple, Pat Heung Old Temple and the Ping Shan Heritage Trail after enjoying the parade.
Celebrations in Joss House Bay
Every year the Tin Hau Festival attracts thousands of worshippers to the Tin Hau Temple in Joss House Bay, the oldest in Hong Kong. With its history and magnificent architecture, it is listed as a Grade 1 Historic Building. After worshipping in the main temple, visitors can touch the dragon bed in the side temple for good luck, and head to the Rock Inscription at Joss House Bay, a Declared Monument, to learn about the temple's history.
- MTR Po Lam Station, Exit A2, take minibus 16 (Po Lam to Po Toi O) to The Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club, then follow the signs and walk for about 10 minutes down the nearby steps

Knockout Noodles: Pork Belly Vermicelli Caldo at Xoco
Reviews of noodle dishes.
Ever since I devoured an intriguing bowl of fideuà at Café Iberico, I've been on the lookout for authentic fideos. This variety of noodle is most commonly seen in Spanish cuisine, although it has also been adopted in Mexican cooking, primarily for noodle soups. And lo and behold, a Mexican noodle soup featuring fideos has been right under my nose, at Rick Bayless's ever-popular Xoco.
I say right under my nose because Xoco has been one of my go-to lunch spots since the busy River North restaurant began firing its tortas, caldos, and housemade hot chocolates. But it's been hard to pull myself away from the tasty tortas in order to sample its broth-based offerings. Well, it was until I read the description for Xoco's pork belly vermicelli (fideos) ($12): crispy-tender pork belly, toasty-tender noodles, woodland mushrooms, zucchini, avocado, salsa negra. Unlike the noodles Café Iberico deploys for its fideuà (an Italian wheat noodle, almost certainly bucatini), the vermicelli in this caldo are in fact fideos. The Xoco kitchen treats them in a traditional manner, pre-toasting the noodles prior to their incorporation into the caldo's hot broth.
The technique helps the earthen-colored noodles to keep their resilience amid their steamy surroundings, ensuring a pleasing bite and what you might call the imprint—or, if you're feeling more poetic, the memory—of being lightly toasted in a pan.
Needless to say, the noodles were outstanding, with a slightly granular texture and deep, nutty flavor. But here they are just one of many perfectly rendered components. The slabs of fork-tender pork belly, marked on the grill for some added smoky notes, were so generous in size and number, you'd think Xoco was having a clearance sale on the stuff. The zucchini, quartered and sliced into roughly inch-long wedges, had all the bright-green flavors you'd hope for in a fresh summer squash. Same for the spicy arugula. And I really enjoyed the play of the meaty, slightly sweet pork broth with the occasional spoonful of creamy avocado—two of the finest fats of the animal and plant kingdom, united.
When the bowl first arrived, I couldn't help but think of its visual parallels to ramen. But after tasting the broth and experiencing the magic of the toasted fideos, I knew that this caldo is on its own unique orbit. And although a Japano-Mexican noodle-soup mashup concept very well may be genius waiting to happen, there's no good reason to muck with this recipe.

To call KFC's new Double Down Original Recipe® creation a sandwich is an insult to the wheat-centric tradition America holds so dear. This is no standard sandwich, but a two-bird prom dance packed tight around a strip of bacon smothered in Colonel Sanders' magical awesome sauce.
It's a monster. It's like the Colonel is high-fiving your fat, juicy heart.
But at 540 calories, 32 grams of fat and 1380 mg's of Sodium, it's said to top competitors' offerings like McDonald's Crispy Chicken Club Sandwich and just about any meat-based Chipotle burrito. The Daily Beast slots it in at #23rd on their list of the unhealthiest fast-food items in America, noting it's "slightly worse than a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut, slightly better than a Bonus Jack double cheeseburger from Jack in the Box."
Still, this puppy is just a heartbeat away from going against the recommendations of the American Heart Association, which says one should "aim to eat less than 1,500 mg of sodium per day."
Asked to describe the sandwich in three words, Michael Hayes, my eating partner on the expedition and social media strategist from Queens said, "Every one should try this once. Only once, I don't want to meet the lunatic who goes back for seconds on the KFC Double Down."
But no matter!
U.S. & World
Despite the strange side effects one may randomly encounter (shin splints and disorientation hit my group near Union Square) the first few bites of this salty chicklet were delicious! Yes, it's weird. Completely unnatural. I couldn't finish it and left the 14th Street KFC distracted by a curiously patient crowd.
But wait, let's go bite-by-bite.
The first taste I took, despite the five minutes that passed since it came off the hotrack, burned my mouth to bits. I must've somehow tripped a grease bomb that resulted in a piping hot teaspoon of bird juice being shot deep down my throat. Bird revenge, but that didn't stop me.
It's the next bite that's the money shot -- you bite slow, chew real tender, swish it around like a fine sip of 2007 Pinot Noir. Heck, close your eyes tight enough and this thing's as classy as wine & cheese. Move it around, feel it squeeze between the gaps of your teeth.
This is where you taste the chicken -- soft, tender strips of meat marinated in what must've been a hot tub-sized bucket of grease. Ignore that, stick with the branding. This is the double down, a "one-of-a-kind sandwich" with "two thick and juicy boneless white meat chicken filets."
Yes, there's bacon. There's pepper jack cheese too. But this thing is a party for chickens and fast food-loving Americans are just simply along for the ride.
Halfway through the sandwich things start to get strange. The KFC-provided hashbrown case is falling apart with grease breakdown. The fries, once proudly hard and warm as a baked potato, have fallen silent and lie cold on my tray.
The Double Down sits alone, sunken and cross-legged in its cardboard box on the table. I take one more bite, but silence. The magic is gone. What's left is a lonely little chicken strip, broken in half and nearly tasteless.
I sit up, take my tray and lay it over the others who came before me. The trash can, long filled to the brim with discarded boxes, cups and shattered Double Down dreams, is packed full but not hoping for a change.
Like the great American dream born in KFC executive brainstorms in Louisville, Kentucky, it was nearly life changing, but is time to wake up and smell the juices. This "sandwich" -- most definitely deserving of the quotes -- is finished.
Still, I'll never forget that first bite.
The one coated in fryer juice, greasy yet stunningly delicious, and all the secondary bites that followed. I don't think I'll ever reach that high again. But lord knows, I'll never stoop so low.
The Double Down: Try it once. Seconds not recommended.

It's become part of the daily ritual: Get home, plug in your phone, wake-up to a full battery, repeat. Our poly-gadget lives depend on our batteries having enough juice for the day, and depending on how we use them, they're usually good for just about one workday of use. However, a new nanochemical innovation from an 18-year-old California teen may throw this whole ritual on its head.
This weekend, Eesha Khare of Saratogoa, California took home a $50,000 scholarship from this year's Intel International Science and Engineering Fair for her supercapacitor battery that can fully charge a smartphone in less than 30 seconds. Additionally, the tiny technology can last for 10,000 charge-recycles, compared to only 1000 cycles for traditional re-chargeable batteries. (Apple, for example, claims their iPhone battery is designed to be able to maintain 80 percent of its original capacity through 400 full recharge cycles.)
Manufacturers are surely taking note that in addition to its extreme efficiency, Ms. Khare's charger is also flexible, which would make it an ideal component for the coming wave of wearable tech making its way to our wrists and faces.
Aside from mobile, the technology has obvious applications in all-electric cars. Tesla's all-electric Model S recently scored Consumer Reports' highest car rating ever: a 99 out of 100. The only reason it didn't score a perfect 100 was because of the time it takes to fully charge—around five hours even when using Tesla's proprietary high power wall Connector. Hopefully, Elon Musk is watching.
The Intel Fair also recognized 17-year-old Henry Wanjune Lin of Shrevesport Louisiana for his new cosmological mapping data and awarded him a $50,000 scholarship. Nineteen-year-old Romanian Ionut Alexandru Budisteanu took home the fair's Gordon E. Moore Award and its $75,000 scholarship for his new take on autonomous car navigation tech that costs around only $4000 to implement.
A quick Google search turned up the fact that last year Mr. Budisteanu was awarded a $10,000 scholarship for inventing a technology that enabled the blind to "see with their tongue."
This should stand to shame all of us for what we failed to accomplish when we were teenagers.
This story, "Teen invents tech that fully charges phone batteries in less than 30 seconds" was originally published by TechHive.

RaiderZ is a free-to-play 3D monster-hunting MMO with FPS elements and non-targeting combat gameplay. Players enter the mysterious kingdom of Rendel as a selected champion to fight in the territorial war between humans and the mutated beasts terrorizing the land. Fight monsters in real time dodging their blows and using counterattacks. Complete challenging quests, clear dungeon instances, and craft your own arsenal of weaponry. Comparable to MAEIT Entertainment's GunZ: The Duel, Tera Online, C9, and Monster Hunter in terms of gameplay players get to wage war against gigantic monsters that are as interactive and responsive as an opponent in a PvP battle.

Defender – This class of warriors are skilled in multiple forms of combat. Their counterattacks are to be reckoned with. Armed with one-handed weapons like the sword or mace they are capable of devastating blows. Defenders are known for their de-buffing skills.
Berserker – The two-handed sword is this soldiers' weapon of choice. Berserkers are experts at honing in on their enemy's weak points and using them to their advantage during combat. This class deals large amounts of damage but tends to lack speed.
Cleric – Valuable to any team, Clerics possess the ability to heal others. They are also skilled in magic and wield a Warhammer staff or mace with precision to take down foes.
Sorcerer – Notorious for their powerful ranged attacks this class relies on the elements of ice and fire to produce devastating magical blows. This class can easily assist from a distant. Sorcerers are armed with one-handed swords and staffs.

Hey guys... Do you NA ESL teachers take time in your classes to actually "teach" local slang to your students? I usually just go through the expressions as they come up (i.e. the students bring it up in class or they hear me say something and ask me what it means). Some of the other teachers I work with like to teach one expression per class, choosing some of the most common ones for this area. If you do teach it, do you distinguish between "good" and "bad" slang? My students recently 'heard' that ain't is an appropriate alternative to isn't. I told them that while it is a slang word meaning isn't, that if they use this word in any context other than joking around, people might get the impression that they are unintelligent and/or uneducated. These particular students are very bright (engineers) and I wouldn't want them walking around saying "ain't" all the time. What do you do in your classes - if anything - about colloquialisms and slang?

Where do you teach, fat_chris (if I may ask)? I'm currently sidelined from teaching and am sorting out some personal issues in the States before I will enter the EFL arena once again. I was in China for three years until April. To hone my craft, I'm currently tutoring a Chinese immigrant in writing, speaking, listening and pronunciation drills. To be serious, no, I never taught slang. I felt it was important for my students to get a foundation in formal English first. I have thought of my own experience in learning German (am fluent and have a master's degree). The focus was on perfecting (that is, as coming close as possible to perfection) correct usage of the language, increasing my written and spoken fluency and then focussing on slang--this came about by living in Europe and immersing myself in the culture. My experience and timetable in learning German could be applied to my students' progression as well. I firmly believe that one needs to build a strong foundation and master the basics of a language before working on "extracurricular language activities" like learning slang. However, I am talking about EFL students, not ESL students. Even with my Chinese tutee (sic?), I don't teach him slang, but I will explain some idioms to him. To make what I wrote above somewhat relevant, no, I would not focus on slang were I an ESL teacher. Even in country, I still firmly believe that students need to speak and write fluently before they should focus on learning slang, once again, master the basics and build a foundation before concentrating on language extras. When my students show serious correct usage of English and a pertinent need to learn slang, then I would teach it to them; that would NOT be 99.9% of the students I have taught thus far during my feeble existence on this big blue marble (only EFL though, not ESL).

This is very important, especially when teaching in NA. I work in New York and it's so easy to speak broken English here and get by. I'm using the Interchange book in one class, and there is actually an exericse on "gonna". I felt kind of strange teaching it because I always wince when I hear non-natives say, "I gonna go to shopping, okay!" Nevertheless, I introduced it, and we practiced it a few times. The studetns (all Chinese by the way) thought it sounded pretty funny. One man who has lived her for 5 years says he has never heard anyone use it, yet he always says, "I wanna..." If a question comes up, I'll explain it, but other than that I stay away from teaching slang. Back to top CapergirlJoined: 02 Feb 2003Posts: 1232Location: Nova Scotia, Canada Posted: Tue Dec 02, 2003 4:33 pm Post subject: That's the way I am, Lynn. If a question comes up, I'll explain it. Usually the students will ask me questions about words or expressions they've heard before we begin our regular lesson. I don't mind taking 10 minutes or so for an impromptu explanation. If they continue to ask questions and time is getting short, I'll ask them to write down any other questions they have for future classes so that we can continue with the lesson. What I have a problem with is some of the "bad" slang they hear, like ain't. I also use texts that include sections about reductions like "gonna" and "wanna", so I take the opportunity to tell them that not everyone speaks like that (I don't). They also hear locals saying things like "I seen" and "I done" and they ask me why. Good question. They want to sound very authentic, which I can certainly understand, but I try to encourage them to use proper English as much as possible and go easy on the slang. fat_chris wrote: Still dig your avatar-- Well, I'd say I dig yours, too, but Freud might read something into that.

I'd teach them the proper use of it and give them a homework assignment where they had to use eh with 5 different people that day as a practice. Their feedback from those 5 people were really positive and the students had a lot of fun.

Hey Gordon, the students here often learn "eh" before we even get a chance to teach it to them. My boss (who also teaches some classes) loves to teach the students this common dialogue: "Jeet chet?"

Back to top dlnJoined: 02 Nov 2003Posts: 11 Posted: Wed Dec 03, 2003 9:11 pm Post subject: Once again, I find myself in agreement with the fat guy (thanks, chris). I personally feel that slang and regional idioms USED by non-native speakers in general is a bad idea. Never comes across as quite natural and, come on, native useage. I prefer as a tutor to have students use more "proper" English. That said, sometimes students need to UNDERSTAND slang or idioms - so in my classrooms I confined these to questions from students about what they've heard or read. When teaching in North America, this could be daily - elsewhere, maybe weekly. But I ask students to bring in words or phrases that they've heard; I'm not going to try to guess what might be relevant (except for that ever-present Canuk "EH" which I haven't mastered myself yet!!). Back to top CapergirlJoined: 02 Feb 2003Posts: 1232Location: Nova Scotia, Canada Posted: Fri Dec 05, 2003 12:00 am Post subject: I agree with you, dln. I think that ESL students need to focus on a mainstream version of the language, something that can be understood in just about any part of the English-speaking world. I don't believe it's in their best interests to pigeon-hole themselves with one dialect. {Hey, I've even heard Newfoundlanders speak semi-proper English when talking to someone from Ontario or "out West". } What students often don't realize (until we point it out) is that regional slang is only useful if they plan to stay in this region (which they don't). It is better for them to stick to proper English and to use expressions that are common to many parts of the English-speaking world, not just the area that they are in currently. One thing I've had a problem with is the whole British/American thing, though. Most of my students had British ESL instructors prior to coming to Canada. So when they say "lorry", I know that they mean "truck" but most people in this region do not. So I try to get them to use truck instead of lorry, for the simple fact that no one will know what they are saying. I do think it's great that they know both words, but they also have to know when to use them. Another one they say a lot is "rubber" (eraser). Of course, "rubber" in Canada means condom, not eraser, so when I point this out they always find it really amusing (especially if I point it out right after someone has asked a classmate for a "rubber").

I remember getting really frustrated with my Japanese teacher for not wanting to teach me informal Japanese--which is what almost everyone spoke. She only wanted to teach us formal Japanese which is made up of different verb forms and expressions. She wasn't doing us any favors by "sparing" us from what she thought was improper Japanese. I am not teaching in the US but when I taught in London, I tried to make my students aware of the language which people used. I also tried to make sure they knew what they could actually say and not offend (or sound inappropriate) and what is taboo. I think Michael Swan's English Grammar in Use has a great section on the usage of taboo words as he calls them. Japanese for example hear us saying oh my God, or thank God and they want to say it too. But it often sounds weird to hear them use these expressions. They just don't sound natural coming out of their mouths. It takes a long time to be able to use these and other phrases naturally. I do stress this with the students. I think the first step is building an awareness of the slang or commonly used expressions in context and just get students to recognize their meanings. My husband who is Japanese uses what we call "conehead English" after the Saturday Night Live coneheads. His English is good, but too formal which is how he was taught. So now I am trying to teach him more natural and less formal ways of expressing himself. For example when stopping the car at a reststop he said to me that I could get out and "extend my body"--instead of saying "stretch".

Olt sees things clearly in first live batting practice
MESA, Ariz. -- For Cubs third-base prospect Mike Olt, his first few swings on Wednesday were perfect.
Olt had struggled with vision problems, and finally got to face a pitcher instead of a coach throwing batting practice or a machine spewing balls.
"For my first at-bats in a long time, it's the best I've ever felt in Spring Training," said Olt, who faced right-hander Neil Ramirez. "I'm not even counting last year, but the year before that. I saw the ball really well."
Acquired from the Rangers in the Matt Garza deal, Olt batted .213 at Triple-A Round Rock last season, but the Cubs feel they've corrected his vision issues. He's now taking allergy medication, which has helped clear things up for him.
Wednesday was his first test against a pitcher.
"I got in the box and I wasn't sure if I was going to swing or not, but I got in there and felt comfortable and saw the ball really well, took a couple swings and I feel like I'm ahead of schedule," he said.

I don't argue that there are some moves that Gillis seems to have failed to make. I have never argued that, and I have often stated that there are some moves he's made that I don't like. In light of your post, Zamboni, I started this thread to compare both of these guys.Zamboni Driver wrote: I'll disagree with you RD, I don't think that AV has done a great job.
In fact, I think BOTH Meds & RD are correct in parts: 1.) GMMG has screwed the pooch, and hasn't gotten the right parts to get the job done, and 2.) AV hasn't done a great job of managing & motivating the assets he has. We went from top 3 in both PP and PK to a powerplay that looks like crap. (although a little better lately) Maybe it isn't all his fault, regardless, if he can't get the team game working or if the players have tuned him out, he's overstayed his effectivness.
I do not think Edler should have been extended. I think Gillis should have pushed hard to include him in a package that would have secured the rights to Shea Weber. I'm not sure if he did try this or not. Maybe he did and that is why the extension for Edler came when it did.
I think that Ballard has not fit in here (obviously), and he should have been moved. That being said, I do believe that some of the reason he didn't fit is because Vigneault had issues with him and didn't utilize him effectively. Regardless, he was injured a fair amount during his first season here and I can see any GM giving him another chance. But when it became apparent that things weren't working and Vigneault clearly did not like him, Gillis should have been actively trying to move him for something usable. Again, maybe Gillis did try and the returns just weren't there.
Booth has been a bust. Literally. He's been hurt more than he's been healthy. Initially the move was a good one, giving up Sturm (useless) and Samuelsson (old and not meeting expectations), for a young power forward with good speed who wasn't afraid to go to the net and has a decent shot. That was no brainer. Booth being injured as much as he has been was unforeseeable. It also made it VERY difficult to trade him. This is just the breaks of hockey.
If the rumors surrounding Hodgson being moved are true, then you can't fault any GM or coach for what happened. Hodgson was utilized effectively in his last few months here, granted they were showcasing and sheltering him. But that was an effective way to develop a young player and let him gain confidence. Kesler's 2nd line was used in the defensive shutdown role more often, and the team was doing well. But if Hodgson didn't want to be here, and I don't blame him for not wanting to wait 5 years to get the minutes he could get elsewhere, and if his dad was really the pain in the ass we've heard he was, then the move was forced. If Kassian develops, then the move will be a success.
As it stands today signing Lou to that contract was not a good move, but at the time it was necessary, and it was on par with what other GM's were doing for franchise players. If Schneider had not developed it would have been a great signing, Schneider turning into what we hoped when he was drafted, coupled with Luongo's playoff collapse in Boston, that made things difficult. Lou should have been traded already, but circumstances being what they have been, it has been difficult and no GM is going to give up a goaltender like Luongo for Scrivens and a couple of 2nd rounders. The bad blood between Gillis and Burke and Nonis has just made the situation much worse.
The Malhotra situation was awkward to say the least. It appears to have been badly handled, and it looks as if Gillis really screwed Manny over. However, the lack of any action on the part of the PA, the rumors that this was a decision made with Manny's agent and family, if these are true then it was handled properly. Regardless, it had a negative effect on the team, and we've had a few players getting time in the line up who Malhotra was a better option than.
These are the only moves/non-moves that I think there can be fault found with Gillis, and obviously there have been some extenuating circumstances surrounding most of them.
Here are some good moves.....
Gillis brought in Higgins and Lapierre in 2011, both contributed to the success down the stretch and the run to game 7 of the finals. Both fit in quickly and have done all that has been asked of them. Lapierre has even attempted to change his game and be less of a pest.....he's still a pest, but he talks back to the officials much less than he used to. Regardless, he is an effective 4th line center.
He signed Jason Garrison last year. This has been a VERY good move. Garrison has replaced Salo on the point, and he is far more durable. It was an easy signing because Garrison wanted to come home to Vancouver, but nonetheless, it was still a move he made.
Gillis signed Dan Hamhuis. Another good signing for the Canucks. Also easy as Hamhuis is from BC and was happy to come home to play.
Gillis signed Chris Tanev. Tanev has been one of our steadiest defensemen this season and has taken some very big strides as a player.
Gillis signed Eddie Lack, who is looking like he will turn into a player of starting goalie caliber in the NHL.
Gillis drafted Jordan Schroeder. Schroeder has taken some strides and will likely become a top 6 forward. At the very least he will bring a return in a trade.
Gillis drafted Brendan Gaunce. Gaunce appears to be developing nicely and has been a real playoff performer for his junior team this year.
Gillis drafted Niklas Jensen. Jensen has potential to be a top 6 forward and in his recent call-up appeared to be a fairly responsible player in his own end, something not common among young players.
So Gillis has hardly been idle, and it can't be said that he has done nothing worthwhile as GM.
Let's have a look at Vigneault.
There is no question that he has done a good job in Vancouver. He took the reigns of a team that was on the back side of some great years that were always capped off with playoff disappointment. His team defense approach paid off and an under-achieving team suddenly became an over-achieving team that won the division and made it to the 2nd round of the playoffs, of course Luongo landing here definitely made his job much easier in that first season. The Sedins had also just matured into premiere forwards as well, so he wasn't given a team bereft of talent. Nonetheless, he did a good job in establishing a team philosophy that seemed to be lacking under Crawford.
In his second year the team failed to qualify for the playoffs.
In his third year they won their division and returned to the playoffs and again went to the second round. In his fourth year it was the same story as the 3rd year.
They then won consecutive President's Trophies and a trip to the finals. Though they were bounced in 5 games of the first round last year.
Since February of 2012 the team has been on a steady decline and has lacked focus and consistency. Players have been unable to find their groove and whenever a lineup boasts a trio that is finding chemistry they are inexplicably broken up among the other lines in an effort to get them all going. The results are usually not what one would hope.
Clearly Vigneault has done a good job in Vancouver, but since the 2011 SFC where Boston completely shut the Canucks down, more and more teams have taken that approach against Vancouver, and the Canucks have faltered badly. They have lacked intensity and often play spineless hockey. This "pay them back on the PP" mentality has backfired. The team lacks fire. The coach has been unable to inspire them. Their offense has dried up. Defensively they seem only capable of playing 20-40 minutes worth of a game.
There have been a few departures from this team's roster since 2011. Ehrhoff and Salo are both gone. Samuelsson has been moved. Malhotra injured and now gone. Rome gone. But other than that, the team is the same, they have even gained what should be some physical strength and grit. But the team continues to look lost and the once deadly breakout and attack is ineffective. But nothing has changed in their approach to the game. The team looks emotionless and flat. They have for over a year.
Vigneault has NEVER held his top players accountable for their mistakes and poor play. He is more than willing to throw other players under the bus and staple them to the bench for a single mistake, but the player making 10 mistakes a game and costing the team is allowed to "play his way out of the funk".
So are Gillis and Vigneault both at fault?
I think so. But I don't think it is because Gillis has not tried to bring players in, and I don't think it is because the players here are incapable of getting it done. On paper this roster is one that most GM's in the league probably look at and turn green with envy. So why can't they come out and dominate games the way teams like Chicago and Anaheim have this year? Why are they so easy to shut down?
