![]() I could bring already known friends here and study with them or make new friends here. I could perform at open mic night, then I would be very well known around this community. There are many ways to advance in this discourse community and be an insider. I start to learn the menu, know the people, and be a known face around. The more I come to the Fireside Café, I become more comfortable here. As an outsider of this community I had to explore all of the options here before I made my decision to get chicken and shrimp Alfredo noodles at the Innovations option. Some of these titles are literacies outsiders of this discourse community may not understand until they explore the food under the titles. The choices range from the GridIron Grill (breakfast and lunch sandwiches), Poblano’s, Innovations (pasta and Asian cuisine), Comfort Zone (Stouts favorite food), and the Heritage Deli. ![]() The first time I ate at the fireside grill I scoped out all of the options first. This was another step to becoming an insider of this community. When I got there though I was surrounded by people I knew. I attended this event with a couple friends. The room was packed and filled with excitement. This concert was hosted in the MSC Great Hall. They are known nationwide and we had them right in our MSC. ![]() The BDP hosts concerts with well-known bands such as We The Kings. The Blue Devils Productions (BDP) crew is in charge of putting on these awesome events and do a really good job. They have had concerts here, comedians, guest speakers, company representatives for majors, and fun events like open mic night. All of the events are held in the upstairs area. The people range from students of any age along with teachers. Some intensely use their lab top while listening to what ever plays out of their headphones. Almost every person in this room has their lab top out. As I sit and observe the discourse community I notice a lot of similarities with what people do in here. The lounge is a diverse area for what you can do in here. On a casual day here some people sit alone while others sit with friends. It now includes 10,000 square feet of lounge space, with vast windows, great dining options, performance space and an Involvement Center showcasing student involvement on campus “An absolute stunning transformation,” says the board of regents. (UW-Stout “Memorial student center” n.pag.).” The MSC underwent a $19 million renovation and reopened in January 2012. “As the heart of the UW-Stout campus, the MSC provides welcoming gathering spaces for the campus community, features high energy, bright colors and cozy comfortable atmospheres. As an outsider looking in I liked the atmosphere I saw and wanted to come to the MSC more often. The crowd was very supportive with their clapping and cheering. The insiders here knew some of the performers, I could here people calling out names like they knew them. The acts ranged from piano players who also sang, accordian players, free verse poets, and rappers. Soon we found out that it was Open Mic Night. On this Thursday night my friend had invited me to study with her upstairs. As an outsider of this rooms community I was not aware of the exciting event that happens on Thursdays. I don’t think much of it I just get in the zone of studying. The front of the room draws my attention with its lit up stage and piano laying still. The architecture and layout of the room absorbs me. The atmosphere of the Fireside cafe lounge in the Memorial Student Center. The lights are set low, the fire burning hot, the people generally quite.

Early on in the first season, it is mentioned by the narrator that the Porcupine Creek area is inhabited by both brown bears and black bears.

In one episode, Parker Schnabel's very large dump truck can be seen in the background.The kind of continuity things nitpickers and DVR watchers will notice. Anachronism Stew: In recent episodes, of the short-range variety.The low reliability rating of home-built wash plants counts here as they rely on these machines for their livelihood and frequent breakdowns and failures mean they are left waiting for repairs before they can resume catching elusive little flecks of yellow metal. The Alleged Car: A number of mining machines are shown to be troublesome and breakdown-prone during the series.From season 5 on, Alaska is only the off-season home of a portion of the miners. The same mines are featured in seasons 3 and 4, with only Dakota Fred's crew remaining in Alaska in the fourth season. Season 2 featured 3 different mine crews, 2 of which were still in AK. Alaska: The mining was originally only happening in AK, but the Hoffmans' move to the Klondike widened the scope of the show.See also: Bering Sea Gold for gold mining where the gold is found on the floor of the Bering Sea, just off Nome, Alaska. Originally titled Gold Rush: Alaska, the Alaska part was dropped for season 2 due to Todd Hoffman's decision to add a mine in the Klondike, reinforced by the Hoffman crew being kicked off the Porcupine Creek site.īegan airing in October of 2010 with season 10 airing in 2020.ĭue to the on-site and on camera drama between the crew members, crew members and their handling of the machines and with the sometimes questionable nature of the mining machines themselves, the series eventually drifted into Docusoap territory.

It’s hard to stay unbiased, especially since he helped Bonafide design it. The Titan 12 is a pedal-drive kayak that Native markets especially to bass anglers. “A stable platform, super comfortable seat, great when it comes to rigability and reliability” all contribute to this boat’s success and value. Native Titan Propel 12Ĭhad placed the Titan Propel 12 on this list due to its popularity over the 10.5 and 13.5-foot versions with the anglers he contacted. The Bite retails for just $1,099 (the lowest price point on our list) while the Bite FD is the pedal version featuring Jackson’s Flex Drive Mark IV. They both offer stability, great tracking, a comfortable seat and all kinds of rigging options you can customize. ![]() In Chad’s research, 2021 sales were split about even between the two Bite models from Jackson. Great back support in the seat add to this kayak’s attractiveness for all-day fishing. Its hull design makes it efficient and yet stable on more open water. PDL means this boat is a pedal-drive boat. Old Town BigWater PDL 132Ĭhad makes an interesting point with the BigWater from Old Town: it’s possible their own competition with a couple other models have hurt sales for this one. Vibe offers a Pro Kit to go with your kayak, making it easy for you to upgrade. The Sea Ghost 130 is ready for a wide range of water conditions, optimized for storage, stability and speed. This is a great beginner boat, but he knows many seasoned anglers who continue to use theirs as well. One reason Chad has two Vibe’s on his list is availability, where other brands were harder to get a hold of. This NuCanoe comes ready for a pedal system and with wiring access points for an after-market motor. “Unlimited” means unlimited rigability on this fishing kayak, designed to be both fast and stable. (The only one on this list he didn’t sit in, he promises a full review once he receives the one he ordered.) “This one would’ve done better if it didn’t have availability issues and molding issues right out of the gate,” Chad pointed out. The Recon features Wilderness Systems’ SMART Hull Technology, its StowPro Storage System for all your gear and the ultra-comfortable AirPro ACE seat. For performance, he especially liked this boat with a stern motor on it. ![]() He didn’t like the pedal version as well, so his #9 choice is the paddle version. Wilderness Systems Recon 120Ĭhad tested both the paddle and pedal version of the Recon. It has one of the higher weight capacities on the list, at 475 pounds. The Shearwater 125 retails for $1,699.99 (without the Pro Kit). Vibe makes it extra easy to customize by offering a recommended Pro Kit you can add to the Shearwater. The Shearwater is pedal-ready and motor-ready, designed to be affordable and extremely versatile. Here’s his list, beginning with #10 (all prices are 2022 prices): 10.
The techniques of listening to students, bringing them together to share and collaborate while reading and writing and engaging with each other, replete with field trips, to museums and dinners opens up new opportunities for teachers to work with and challenge their students as never before, to learn, in ways that are powerful, serious, but also incredibly fun.

They published the Freedom Writers diary and related books, and out of this came the film, Freedom Writers, based on the story of Room 203. Inspired by the example of the Freedom Riders, the young group of black and white students who crossed interstate travel lines to challenge segregations, the 150 students in Erin’s English class, all of whom graduated from high school, adopted the name Freedom Writers, becoming narrators of their own story and protagonists of the struggle for educational opportunity, equity, diversity and inclusion. They became storytellers in their own right, working against gang violence and racial injustice, promoting education as a vehicle for personal and social transformation.ĭrawing on the music of rap artists extraordinaire such as Tupac Shakur - whose song “Changes” made the former pope’s playlist on the Vatican Myspace page - Erin and her students came together to overcome mistrust and racial animus, coming to understand the deadly consequences and roots of racism, from L.A.

The remainder of the code scrapes the lyrics from the website or trips on an error 404 when it cannot find the song/artist combination.

The next section shows how to implement this approach with ggplot, scraping pop song lyrics from the website. Towards the end of the song, we see the bridge, which is like a little snowflake within the diagram. After that we see diagonal lines appearing that represent the repetitive use of the song title. The first 30 words are the opening verse, which shows little repetition, other than stop words such as and the pronoun I. The diagram below visualises the lyrics of one of the most famous pop songs ever, Waterloo by Abba. As a result, the bridge is in most songs a unique pattern with self-similarity. Many songs have a bridge that contrasts with the rest of the song. A verse is not very repetitive besides some stop words. The verses are the gutters with only diagonal lines. ![]() The snowflake diagrams are a visual language to decode lyrics. Self-similarity matrix for Mary had a Little Lamb by Thomas Edison.

There are no restrooms at the trailhead or along the trail. There is no cell service once you are on USFS road 622. The road does get windy, steep, and narrow at times, but it is in good condition if there hasn’t been a lot of rain. ![]() You do not need a high-clearance or 4x4 to get to this trailhead. November - April: Unfortunately this trail is not accessible during winter due to road 622 being closed for heavy snowfall.Ĭheck the Pagosa Ranger District Road status before driving to the Piedra River Hot Springs as road 622 (First Fork Rd) does not open until late April and closes around October. The con during this time is horse flies and mosquitoes are more prevalent. July - September: As the Piedra River starts to mellow out, more hot springs will become visible and some will get very hot! Since this is the best time of year, I’d recommend going during the week or early in the morning. The upside to this time of year is you won’t have as many people or flies, if any, to share your pool with. During late spring the Piedra River is usually still high, covering most of the hot springs and making the visible hot springs not very hot. May - June: Once road 622 opens in late April, this trail starts to become popular on weekends.

Curve Tension: Curve tension is a measure of how much a curve deviates from a straight line between two points, from zero to 100%.So for example, Helvetica has more tense curves than Frutiger or Myriad.
