Several groups of U.S. age groupers headed to Veracruz, Mexico for the 2014 North American Challenge Cup last Friday through Sunday.
The US contingent were selected 11-18-year-olds from Southern California Swimming, NorCal's Pacific Swimming LSC and Gulf Swimming in Texas. Gulf Swimming is the newcomer to the meet, replacing Pacific Northwest, last year's hosts.
The meet took place in Veracruz, where Mexico will host the Central America and Caribbean Games this coming November, the country's biggest international meet of the year.
On the girls' side, SoCal 15-year-old Kenisha Liu was the headliner, picking up 5 wins in the 15-16 division. Liu ruled the middle distance freestyles as well as the breaststrokes on the weekend. She won the 100, 200 and 400 frees, going 59.00, 2:03.79 and 4:26.33, while also taking both breaststroking distance with a 1:13.67 in the 100 and a 2:36.36 in the 200.
One age group down, SoCal's Jessica Epps and Vicky Navarro were the big stars, winning three apiece. Epps won the 200 and 400 IMs, plus the 100 free. The 14-year-old cracked five minutes in the longest of those races, going 4:59.31. She was 59.01 in the 100 free and 2:24.68 in the 200 IM. Navarro, meanwhile completed a freestyle triple, winning the 200 (2:05.69), 400 (4:25.78) and 800 (9:15.55) frees.
Also in the 15-16s, Aislinn Light and Alexis Margett each won three times, with Light taking the 50 free/100 back/200 back combo and Margett winning the 100 and 200 fly plus the 200 IM.
The host country got its biggest contribution from 18-year-old Sofia Descombes Sanchez, who won three in the 17-18s. She won the 200 breast (2:44.64), 100 free (59.14) and 200 IM (2:25.73) over the course of the three days. Another 17-18 triple-winner was 17-year-old Megan Merlihan, who wrapped up her own distance free sweep with wins in the 200, 400 and 800. Her times were 2:08.79/4:25.98/9:17.25, respectively.
On the boys' side, there was a spirited battle in the 13-14s between SoCal's Hunter Hitchens and Pacific Coast's Lyon Zhang, with Hitchens winding up with 5 individual wins and Zhang four. Hitchens ruled the freestyles, taking the 50, 100, 200 and 1500 while taking second in the 400. He was 25.45/54.40/1:58.66/17:00.74 in those free races and also went 58.44 to win the 100 fly on opening day.
Zhang, meanwhile, swept the breaststrokes and IMs. He was 2:10.80 and 4:29.85 in the IMs, and added a 1:06.21 in the 100 breast and a 2:23.30 in the 200.
In the 11-12s, SoCal's Rick Corrieu and Noah Brune each won a pair, with Corrieu taking the 50 and 200 free and Brune winning the 400 free and 200 fly.
SoCal 15-year-old Tim Hanson won four in the 15-16 group. His 4:32.94 won the 400 IM on day 1, and he added the 400 free (4:05.92) and 200 fly (2:06.06) on day 2 and the 1500 free (16:15.60) on day 3.

Hitchens is always dangerous in the freestyle events. If he continues his rapid rate of improvement this fall he just may be in the conversation at the Winter Junior Nationals. He has a perfect mix of speed and endurance in the 100 Free to the 400 Free.

Swimmingrank.com shows he's 14 years 3 months. NACC 100 Free entry 53.32. 13-14 Boys 100 Free NAG is 51.30. 2 seconds plus drop needed in 9 months.

Who said he was going to break the NAG record? What does that have to do with anything?
Sometimes, a kid swimming well is just that – A kid. Who is swimming well.

Tim Hanson (200 fly, 400 IM, 400 free, 1500 free champ) and Taylor Cortens (200 IM champ) are the future of USA swimming. Bobo Gigi, any thoughts on the dynamic duo out of the Irvine Aquazots?

Sorry. I don't know all swimmers from the entire world! 😆
I have never heard of them. So I have no idea about their future.
I need to watch swimmers in video to give me an idea of the potential.
Results are one thing but visual impression is really important.
I function rather by feeling. 🙂

You've heard of them, Bobo, you just don't know their individual names yet. A quartet of 13-14 boys from the Aquazots had their photos all over SwimSwam a few weeks ago because they broke the NAG records for the 4×100 and 4×200 free relays! We didn't get to see video of their races though.
I also remember that somebody did a video report that was posted on SwimSwam about one of the boys, Hunter Hitchens. He dominated the freestyle events at this meet apparentlt.

Actually the quartet of 13-14 Boys that broke the 4×100 & 4×200 NAG free relay records a few weeks ago was not from Irvine Aquazots, but from Irvine Novaquatics. Hitchens anchored those teams.

Like BOBO GIGI the two swimmers mentioned from Irvine Aquazots are not familiar to me. Wish them well with their future swimming pursuits.
I remember watching Hunter Hitchens for the first time 2 or 3 years ago on the live stream of the Far Western championships. He was 11 or 12 and was already dominant on freestyle in his age category in that West Coast meet. He doesn't come from out of nowhere.

Braden or Jared – Do we have any video clips on those two 13-14 Boys NAG Free 4×100 & 4×200 record breaking relays? If so, please post the links.
Reply to VENI. NATAVI. VICI.
VENI. NATAVI. VICI. – we know someone who has videos…there were some technical issues in getting them. If people really want to see them, we can probably try again.
I'm so sorry! I guess I got confused because the article was talking about Hunter's success, and his name sticks in my brain because of alliteration! No offense intended to anybody, and I guess I should read more carefully or keep my mouth shut!
Poppa-john
Maybe I can't read well, but the 13-14 men's 200 IM winner was faster than the 15-16 winner. I also saw multiple women 13 and above absolutely crush their competition across multiple strokes. Before you crown Azot as the future of USA swimming you should read the results more objectively. There were great swims across the board.
Reply to Poppa-john
This could be because well atleast on the SoCal team, if you have three or more Speedo Juniors National cuts during the selection period you are deemed ineligible so for many of the older swimmers they are either attending Nationals that weekend, or they were deemed ineligible for having too many Jnat cuts. For example – I noticed for SoCal, Amy Okada, who finaled at Juniors, was kicked off the team for having too many juniors national cuts.

Congratulations to all the swimmers who represented their LSC and the United States. You all are amazingly talented. So incredibly proud of you all!!!

Reply to Spencer Rodas
Spencer – They decided to focus on the development of their domestic East vs. West Dual meet instead:

Way to go Hunter Hitchens !!!!!!!!!!
Joebobby you are right, I had the oppurtunity to watch azot swimmers swim these past couple months and I can confidently say the dynamic duo (Taylor Cortens and Tim Hansen) are the real deal. The training that Aquazot does is the best training out their coached by the GREAT Brian Pajer. I also heard that papa johns has stinky pizza. Anyways watch out for the dynamic duo! Those guys will be the ones to watch this fall!

by GENNARO FILICE April 13, 2003 April 21, 2021
Every morning, upon entering his office located directly under the stands of Ray Fisher Stadium, Michigan baseball coach Rich Maloney encounters his deepest desire: Perched directly over the skipper's desk, a poster-sized print showcases a location that, upon viewing, causes anyone who has ever touched a baseball to salivate. A venue that annually displays amateur baseball's finest talent. A ballpark that drives Maloney forward each day. What is this mecca of America's pastime? Omaha, Neb.'s own Rosenblatt Stadium – host of college baseball's World Series.
J. Brady McCollough
TONY DING/Daily
Michigan coach Rich Maloney hopes to eventually lead the Wolverines to the College World Series for the first time since 1984.
"That's the plan, that's all part of the plan, that's the dream," Maloney said as he endlessly gawked at the print. "I want to go to Rosenblatt. I want to take a team there, and I want to be a part of that. I'm a dreamer."
Taking over a program that hasn't enjoyed a winning season this millennium (1999 was the last time the Wolverines finished above .500), many may consider Maloney's Rosenblatt-dreamin' wishful thinking. But Michigan's new field-general carries a mystique on the diamond that commands respect. As senior infielder Jordan Cantalamessa simply puts it, "Wherever this guy goes, people start doing well."
Currently in his first season with the Wolverines, the 37-year-old Maloney has already led the Wolverines to a 14-15 record through 29 games (a three-game improvement from last year's 11-18 record through the same amount of games). Although progress in his inaugural season is important, Maloney knows that the rebuilding process doesn't happen overnight.
"We are going to lay the foundation this year for future success in the program," Maloney said.
Michigan players fully support their new coach and share his confidence in the coming years.
"You can definitely count on the future of Michigan baseball being positive," sophomore pitcher Matt Collins said.
After a minor league playing career and his first head coaching stint at Ball State, Maloney hopes to utilize his experience, knowledge and player-friendly coaching style to rebuild a once-revered program that has recently fallen on some tough times.
As Kelle Maloney (Rich's wife of 13 years) will tell you, her husband developed a passion for baseball at a very early age.
"From what his mother tells me, he grew up with a mitt and ball in his hand at the age of two," Kelle said.
But, raised in the Detroit suburb of Roseville, Maloney's sporting interests as a youth expanded beyond the diamond.
"Being a Michigan kid, typically because of the weather, we all play many sports," Maloney said. "I loved football as a quarterback; I had an absolute passion for football."
Feeling that he should concentrate on one sport, though Maloney factored his short stature into the decision and ditched the gridiron.
"With my size, (baseball) was a no-brainer for me ," Maloney said. "I wasn't going to be a John Navarre type of guy."
Maloney flourished on the sandlot, and as a high school senior in 1982, he decided to take his talents to Western Michigan University.
"I always grew up wanting to play for Michigan, but unfortunately I didn't have that opportunity (as he was not offered a scholarship)," Maloney said. "The year before I went to Western Michigan, they had nine players drafted. So I told my dad that besides Michigan – because they were the premier program at the time – (Western Michigan) was where I had to go."
During his career as a Bronco, Maloney earned three varsity letters (1984-86) and served as team captain twice. Following a third-team All-America season as a senior shortstop, Maloney was selected by the Atlanta Braves in the 13th round of the major league draft. Maloney spent six years in the minor leagues, earning minor league all-star honors twice.
After finishing up his playing days, Maloney wasn't ready to leave his beloved game. After recalling the superb tutelage he received throughout his career, Maloney found a way to stay in the game.
"I think of the coaches who I played for, even when I was young. I had several wonderful human beings breathe fresh air into me; they really inspired me to become the best I could be in baseball and in other endeavors," Maloney said. "That's where I derived my coaching career from."
In his first coaching assignment, Maloney served as an assistant for his alma mater from 1992 to 95. Not sure whether his newfound passion would work out, Maloney returned to school in 1993 to earn his teaching credential. Although he did add an English degree to his communications/journalism undergraduate degree, thanks to an enticing job offer, Maloney's teaching aspirations went on hold – permanently. Ball State of Muncie, Ind. gave Maloney his first head-coaching job, and he ran with it, showing the enthusiasm that would eventually find a home at Michigan.
"(At Ball State) we changed an attitude, and when we changed an attitude, the program changed," he said. "We used the motto, 'You gotta believe,' and they bought it, hook, line and sinker – they went for it."
The last two years prior to Maloney's hiring, Ball State had finished a combined 48 games under .500. Maloney swiftly transformed the program from Mid-American Conference bottom feeders to perennial contenders. In his seven years at Ball State (1996-2002), he compiled a 256-144-1 record. Maloney won two MAC championships (1999, 2001) and two MAC Coach of the Year awards (1998, 2001).
As a Cardinal, Maloney prided himself on being fully dedicated to his players.
"While I was at Ball State, I had great relationships with the players across the board, and they sold out for me because I think they knew that I sold out for them, too," Maloney said.
Boasting a major league draft sum of more than 20 players in his tenure at Ball State, Maloney enjoyed many special moments. One of the most rewarding events of Maloney's life occurred with an outfielder named Larry Bigbie. The Baltimore Orioles selected Bigbie with the 18th pick of the first round in 1999, and Maloney received the honor of delivering the news.
"I walk into (Larry's house) and I said, 'Hey Larry, I got some news for you,' " Maloney recalled. "And he goes, 'What's up coach?' And I said, 'Son, you're a millionaire.' He cried in my arms like a baby, (and that's) something I'll never forget in my entire life."
Another player who enjoyed Maloney's instruction at Ball State, pitcher Bryan Bullington, became the first MAC player ever to be drafted first overall when the Pittsburgh Pirates selected him last season. Bullington credits his success to Maloney and his supportive coaching approach.
"On the field, he's got a lot of baseball knowledge, and he works really well with his players," Bullington said. "Off the field he's a class guy, and he'll do anything for his players to help them advance in their careers – academically or on the baseball field."
Maloney's stay at Ball State was ideal, but when Bill Martin offered him the chance to become the 18th head baseball coach at Michigan, the coach had to fulfill his lifelong goal of wearing the block 'M'.
"I came here because I felt in my heart that this was a special place, and that this program was a sleeping giant waiting to happen," Maloney said.
Kelle Maloney, who grew up next to Rich in Fraser, has always strongly supported her husband's decision.
"We knew that (Michigan) is where we needed to be," Kelle said. "We have family here in Michigan, and we both grew up bleeding maize and blue."
The coach still misses the small university in Muncie, but looks forward to spawning another successful program in Ann Arbor.
"It was very hard to leave Ball State; it's still a struggle at times because I miss the players that are still currently in the program," said Maloney. "But, they know I love them, care about them and wish them the best, and that I would give the shirt off my back for them to do well. They'll always be a part of my family.
"But now I get an opportunity to start a new family, and that's a great thing, too."
Only two months into his career at Michigan, Maloney has already connected with many Wolverines on an intimate level.
"Coach is almost like a role model figure, like a father figure, because he's always there with a helping hand, he's always there when you're down," junior catcher Jake Fox said. "(With Maloney's family atmosphere), you feel like you have a lot more to play for."
Maloney's influence for the close-knit relationships with his players comes from his strong situation at home.
Rich and Kelle – "the backbone of our family" according to Rich – have three children (Alex, Nick and Natalie) that take precedent over everything.
"My real passion is being with my kids, so any time that I really have, that isn't related to what I'm doing here at the University, is really dedicated to my wife and kids," Maloney said.
Besides the "family atmosphere," Maloney looks to incorporate many things into the Michigan program that he successfully utilized at Ball State.
"We're repeating most of the steps and taking it a little further with the experience of seven years (at Ball State)," Maloney said. "When I had got that job, I was just a brand new head coach, with no experience as a head coach, and so I was acting instinctively – now I'm acting more on experience."
One of the key things Maloney wants to integrate into the Wolverine game plan is a blue-collar style of play. Maloney spoke of this desire in the third person as if he were viewing the team.
"When (people) watch one of Maloney's teams play, it's all about hustle, character and drive – it won't be a lack of those things that will determine our success because we'll have those ingredients," Maloney said.
Maloney strives to establish very well-rounded student-athletes who enjoy success off as well as on the field.
"I value education very highly," Maloney said. "If we win on the baseball field, but we lose in the classroom, then we're not really winners. You want to excel at everything you do.
"Bill hired me definitely with (education) in mind. We're all at the same accord here, we believe that the Michigan degree is a very important thing in these kids' lives."
Although Maloney's goals at Michigan are vast, the coach refuses to lower his lofty expectations.
"When you're a dreamer and achiever, you get after it, that's all we know," Maloney said. "We don't know any different, and we don't settle for mediocrity – it's not a part of who we are."
So, Maloney's Omaha fantasy lives on. Michigan's last trip to the eight-team College World Series – which represents the last Big Ten team to play in Rosenblatt – occurred in 1984 under the leadership of shortstop Barry Larkin.
Maloney knows that the rebuilding process at Michigan will be a long, hard procedure. But, he continues to dream, gazing into the Rosenblatt print …

I suppose a cake might just have been as apt.
Of course, the silly thing is that nobody knew how much money was given in foreign aid.
I bet an impromptu show of hands 6 months ago, from bloggers, "with wikipedia blocked" would have produced guesses, form 10million dollars to 3 billion. Who knows, some well informed blogger, like Gerad, or Emmjay even, might have blurted out $20billion just to be in front.
I'm just laughing at the idiocy of the idea that those offended, ever knew what the figure was..
Still laughing. Not at the poor souls who are grateful recipients, but the idea that anyone knew the amount.
Did you know that Christopher Pyne originally had six children, but ate two?
Every day some new horror is added to the list.
Presumably, the fact that our government are not proposing to increase our aid from a figure that you never even knew about?
Personally I prefer AA, he's come up like me and learned to fend for himself. I like him and always have, however he's mired in the old battles that don't just exist anymore.
Just another snigger before I go: "Every day some new horror is added to the list.
How is it possible to end up with government like this one, in my wildest nightmares did I not think it would be THIS BAD"' ….he he.
I must be living in a parallel universe. oh the horror of 'NOT' increasing foreign aid. The sheer abject horror. Not reducing it by the way, just not increasing it.
If your so concerned, do what I do and donate direct.
Now, the Coalition has gone further with its $4.5 billion cut that, according to economist Stephen Howes of the Australian National University, will see aid falling from 0.35 per cent of GNI in 2012-13 to 0.31 per cent in 2017. The 0.5 per cent figure remains what Abbott calls "an aspirational goal" but one without a target date.
OMG, that is terrifying. It's the stuff of nightmares. it's absolute abominable..Its..Um I've forgotten. Run that past me again, so I can be terrified.
You'll have to brush up on your maths to understand what it means.
I never said anything about terrifying or trying to scare you Jules. I just deal with the facts. Take them or leave them.
Helvi – did you see the interview re the clean eneregy commission mob – the ones who lend for wonderful projects which are doing so well and employing people. Libs trying to axe it but legally can't do so without an Act.
I can't believe that Macfarlane is the minister Science, oh dear, oh dear….as silly as Brandis in charge of the Arts, Pyne for Education, and, and the best of the jokes: Bishop the Foreign minister…oops not to forget Hockey boy…where are we heading to? Scary.
Abbott slipped in scrutiny free to be our PM, yet everybody is discussing the Labor leader choice, Shorten or Albanese…they are both better than Abbott.
Call a spade a f&^%ing excavator!
I've missed the news for the last week or so, being up to my armpits in sugar soap as I battle to return domestic chaos to its usual pristine perfection (or what passes for it at my place). So I was at first shocked to see the government has chopped off supplies of tomato sauce to recipients of foreign aid.
In retrospect however it might be a blessing in disguise. Except for West Africa where, judging from the only West African restaurant at which I've ever eaten, tomato sauce could only be an improvement. The clue should have been that when the French were colonial masters in the country they never lifted a single dish, condiment, or cooking technique into their own repertoire.
Yep. Think there are probably some more tools in their box.
It's the Libs' favourite for all sorts of "aid," of course.
And, I'm told, Tony uses the mace and the flail, as well as the cilice (hair shirt) on himself, in a desperate effort to purify his petrified flesh and soul, so pain is the means most preferred by him at least, if not by all of his brutal and mindless minions.


But back to the non news. It seems someone is taking notice. West Coast Native News (WCNN) has been quietly keeping tabs on all the spills and leaks. What they have found is shocking!!
More past the toxic orange spill...careful you don't get any on your shoes!!
Total = Over 625,000 Litres of toxic crap spilled in Alberta for just the month of October and not one Mainstream media reports about it.
Curious, I went back to July, August and September of this year, and found that October's incidents weren't unusual at all!! In July, 27 incidents were reported --16 of which involved pipelines spilling either crude oil or gas production. August saw 39 spills or releases happen, 28 of which involved pipelines. September--26, of which 22 were pipeline spills or releases. October-- 41 total incidents ( 24 pipeline incidents).
The grand total for four months....133 incidents of which 90 involved pipeline spills....68%!!!!
What is produced water that is mentioned in the incident reports? OilfieldWiki states that it is either water mixed with the oil as it comes up from the ground and from two sources: with the oil, or separate from it...OR..it's injected fluid.
Sources of this water may include flow from above or below the hydrocarbon zone, flow from within the hydrocarbon zone, or flow from injected fluids and additives resulting from production activities. This water is frequently referred to as "connate water" or "formation water" and becomes produced water when the reservoir is produced and these fluids are brought to the surface. Produced water is any water that is present in a reservoir with the hydrocarbon resource and is produced to the surface with the crude oil or natural gas.
I regret to say that due to my non-existent maths skills, I can't calculate the volume of the spills into liters for you all. Perhaps someone else can do the maths for me.
I have provided an interactive map of Alberta here so that anyone interested in seeing exactly where the spills have happened can do so.
I noticed that in the report of an incident document, every single report mentions that no effects to wildlife or waterways occurred... WHAT?? How can spilling even a small amount of oil not affect the soil and water, and in turn affect the wildlife. Even the removal of the contaminated soil will have an effect. This is the kind of glossing over important facts that happen when there is only self-reporting done. No-one follows up or studies the results. And no-one calls them on their shoddy reporting.
It shouldn't need to be said, but those who think that putting a pipeline that carries oil, dilbit, or natural gas over any agricultural, environmentally sensitive or heavily populated areas should have their little heads examined. Pipelines are neither safe nor infallible. I see the US House of Representatives have passed a bill to allow the Keystone XL to be built and used...folly...sheer idiocy!


The most challenging thing about fitting pants is getting the patterns crotch curve to reflect the shape of the body it is being fit to. An ill-fitting crotch curve results in draglines, wrinkles and excess fabric that can make pants uncomfortable and unflattering. The crotch curve needs to accommodate the length, width and depth of the body as well as align to the curves within those parameters. This area of the human body is as individual as your DNA so it's no wonder we have trouble figuring out what to do when we're not satisfied with the fit of our pants.
This week we're on to video #4 of the Fitting Pants video series. If you've missed the previous videos, I encourage you to go back and watch them. They contain important information that will help you understand the concepts I present today.
When fitting the crotch curve of pants what you are actually doing is designing negative space. This is what I think makes fitting pants so difficult. This negative space consists of the crotch length, the crotch depth and the curves that transition between the two. This negative space is what your body occupies.
The crotch length is indicated by the space needed to accommodate the figure from the waist to the base of the torso or the crotch level.
The crotch depth is indicated by the space needed to accommodate the figure from the center front to the center back.
Within these guidelines we have the shape of the crotch curve, which must follow the shape of the body accurately in order for a pant to fit well.
Watch the video now to get a full demonstration on how to assess and solve for fitting issues in these three areas of the pant. If you'd like to follow along with the pattern alteration techniques download your free copy of the scaled pant block patterns by clicking the image below!

Zdeňka Jiřina Vaculovičová (* 22. září 1946 Zlín) je česká houslistka, učitelka hudby a organizátorka hudebního života, dirigentka a skladatelka vážné hudby.

Mládí a studia
Narodila se a vyrůstala ve Zlíně, později v Hodoníně, kde začala navštěvovat hudební školu. Jejím prvním učitelem houslí byl Alfred Kočiš. Od roku 1962 studovala housle na konzervatoři v Brně, později na JAMU v Brně u prof. Antonína Moravce a souběžně na JAMU také hudební kompozici u PhDr. Zdeňka Zouhara. Janáčkovu akademii múzických umění v Brně absolvovala v roce 1970.

Koncertní kariéra

Zdeňka Vaculovičová koncertovala jak v českých zemích, tak v zahraničí, zejména ve Francii, Německu, Rumunsku, v republice San Marino a také v USA. Pravidelně spolupracovala s Českou televizí a Českým rozhlasem a také s mnoha organizacemi a institucemi doma i v zahraničí, např.: The Rockefeller Foundation USA, The Pew Charitable Trust USA, The National Endowment for the Arts New York, Arts International, British Council London, Instituto Nacional De Las Artes Escénicas y de la Música Madrid, Česká komise UNESCO, Goethe-Institut Praha, Český hudební fond, Nadace Bohuslava Martinů, PBC Television, Radio Los Angeles, California State University (USA) a řada dalších. Stále veřejně vystupuje, hraje houslové recitály, diriguje vokální a instrumentální ansámbly, zpívá a stále komponuje nové skladby.

Pedagogická kariéra
Už ve svém mládí, v době pobytu v Hodoníně se Zdeňka Vaculovičová věnovala práci s mládeží a vedla v Hodoníně při místní farnosti tzv. rytmickou scholu, pro niž také napsala několik svých skladeb (např. Velikonoční mše, op.2 a Vánoční mše, op.4).

V osmdesátých letech 20. století vedla v Kroměříži dětský pěvecký sbor Skřivánek, s nímž v posledním desetiletí totality odvážně nacvičila a realizovala řadu duchovních skladeb. V devadesátých letech 20. století vedla Kroměřížský komorní orchestr při kroměřížské státní konzervatoři, který se postupně proměnil ve volné komorní sdružení mladých hudebníků Arcibiskupská kapela Kroměříž.

V letech 1970–1997 vyučovala hru na housle na státní konzervatoři v Kroměříži. V letech 1997–2009 byla profesorkou Církevní konzervatoře v Kroměříži a 2009–2011 vyučovala na Konzervatoři Evangelické akademie v Olomouci. Od roku 2011 vyučuje housle pouze soukromě. Na svých koncertech v tuzemsku i v zahraničí propaguje soudobou českou tvorbu, nadále se věnuje aktivitám, které jsou spojeny s duchovní hudbou a obecně s duchovním uměním. Se svým manželem Václavem Vaculovičem založila občanské sdružení Umělecká iniciativa Kroměříž, které od roku 1990 pořádá v Kroměříži mezinárodní festival současného umění Forfest Czech Republic.

Ocenění
Dne 5. července 2020 získala Zdeňka Vaculovičová Řád sv. Cyrila a Metoděje.  Ocenění udělované Českou biskupskou konferencí převzala z rukou římskokatolického olomouckého arcibiskupa Jana Graubnera na závěr slavnostní cyrilometodějské bohoslužby na Velehradě.

Rodinný život

maybe something could be taken into consideration for Bug section.
This could lead to a situation where it should be snowing, but it is either raining or not snowing/raining ("clear sky").
The game then goes like "MM6 has encountered an internal error and must close. An auto save will take place."
Well ... autosave won't take place, and you will lose progress.
Either the weather effects from the controls are disabled in this map, until the quest is complete - or (simpler way, but still buggy) you turn it of manually.
Added to the report. Rated as HIGH.
Little convo Temp and I seem to be having. in regards to certain non-implemented spells.
Jesse Noland: Weren't there a few enemies that used this spell [Finger of Death]?
John Templayer: Yes, Minotaur Kings and the "Q". Q is now quite an harmless enemy due to it not existing anymore. Even through he is supposed to be an überenemy.
Jesse Noland: sounds to me like the lack of the spell makes a few hard enemies really cakewalk and laughable.
John Templayer: It does. But as I remember, Rodril was pretty much convinced by some other guy (Xfing? He tends to be like that, so it could have been him) that the previous' only spells were superfluous and were pretty much replaced by better versions. Which is true, but only for about half of them. I was vehemently opposing to that, because I would like for spells to be MERGED as well, since this is, you know ... A MERGE.
Jesse Noland: I do agree, we should try to merge as much as we can. Once thats done, we can look to the future and come up with new. But honestly not all of the spells were superfluous. Finger of Death was one of those spells you had to actually prepare for. And Dark Containment actually HAS story presence in MM6.
John Templayer: There actually wasn't a way to defend against the Finger of Death in vanilla MM6, making it quite an obstacle if it lands. Master level Protection Against Magic doesn't guard against it in MM6. Maybe you should copy paste these discussions of ours into the forum thread, formatting it (making sure that it is easily to tell what each of us wrote). Nobody will probably see it here, and I don't think Rodril will. We need to convince him, and to convince GrayFace to code in the ability to add new spells / new spell pages (it would be cool if the page with those "old spells" would have a tattered look to it!), and potentially new skills. The weak-arse attacking spells could be only implemented as enemy spells (Followers of Baa and such can no longer use those because they do not exist in MM8), the ones that raise a specific attribute can be thrown away, since in MM6 the Day of the Gods spell actually casts them, so in MM8, the Day of the Gods effect replaces all of those, and for the rest - adding them to a single spellbook page would be nice. I have written about how useful some of those are, for example - Castle Kriegspire - mobs tend to spawn outside of the level boundaries. Fire Ring is great for taking those down!
Today I got an idea, or at least a concept. It might be an interesting angle to try and develop the potential of the "encounter" system. What gave me the idea are the lines some housed NPCs say in Ravage Roaming about the ratmen from the temple of Eep raiding the town at night and stealing stuff. Currently the random encounters only consist of monsters findable in the same area, be it an indoor or outdoor one - and their chance of occurring is generally bigger the closer you are to an area populated with hostiles.
But perhaps they could be used as a way to improve immersion in a manner such as in the example cited above? Ravage Roaming only has ogres, gorgons and wyverns in it right now, but maybe there could be a way to program Eep raids at night, not dependent on the party being in hostile areas (could happen in town too)? This could be extended to other areas based on either direct lore or logical extrapolation. For example ogre/mercenary raids on Alvar and such. What do you think?
This didn't worked for me. Of course deactivating 3D worked, but that is of course not what I want. So, has anyone have another idea, how to solve this problem?

Fix: https://www.dropbox.com/s/y2i86aqa520u0 ... r.lua?dl=0 , tell me if it works.

It is nice idea. I don't think i'll implement it soon, but probably it will have another use.
i opened the link, saw the text from the file displayed and used direct download.

Have you moved old Weather.lua out of "General" folder before applying new?
Xfing wrote: Ok, suggestion time!
You should contact Echo for that, he should be able to design those perfectly. Added to the Suggestion Tracker.
Unfortunately, that doesn't work. I found out, that it works, if I decrease resolution to Full HD (1920x1080) in Windows settings. Normally I use a resolution of 3840x2160. I mean FullHD is sufficiant. But I wonder, if anyone else has this problem too? Shouldn't it be working in high resolution too?
PS: I finally found the solution. - After I renamed the exe file it worked. First this behavior seemed a little odd. But than of course I realized that Compatibility settings are saved by the exe name. So it seems without compatibility settings it works.
PPS: The Solution I found earlier actually didn't worked as expected. After I rename the exe I can only start it once, than I have to rename it again. Very strange behavior. So I have to rename the exe every time I want to start the game! - It seems, it has nothing to do with the compatibily setting after all. Anyway. To Change the name anytime is doable.

- There is also the issue of the "full" lich jars from MM7 - I believe this mechanic is gone entirely in MM8, but the MM7 lich jars remain after the promotion by Halfgild Wynac, serving no purpose (or do they? Frankly, haven't tested it). There are two solutions to this - either remove the MM7 jars and have them stop clogging up the inventory, or implement the same functionality for the MM8 lich jars (though in that case obviously the image wouldn't change, as they are not see-through).
- Also, while browsing through the game files one time via MMEdit, I've noticed that the latest Potion suggestion of "Protection from Magic" is fully implemented, it just fails to work like you mentioned and therefore doesn't appear in the game. My suggestion to try to remedy this would be making the spell Pain Reflection, this one does work on single characters, so it should work as a potion too. Just a reminder to you, Rodril.
- Has my writeup for wand stratification suggestion been added to the appropriate part of the tracker? If not then let me know and I'll find it in the thread again.
- I've noticed that despite the hard limit on artifacts and relics appears to be gone, the chest limit is still in place. There are no more artifacts or relics in chests, at least on Jadame. In fact, the only place where I'm able to find them anymore is Dragonsand and other top tier Enroth locations, sometimes the land of the Titans. I'm not getting anymore from Jadamean dragons even. So what's the general way this all works?
- Last but not least, the bolster still affects peasants way more than it should. I'm in Ravenshore and the green female Dark Elf Peasants have 320 HP and the blue ones have 400 - with 2d80 and 2d100 damage. I'm not entirely opposed to peasants getting slightly stronger as the party levels, but I think at level 200 the top peasant variety having around 50 hp would be enough. The lowest tier peasants start out with a mere 3 hp, so the bolster magnitude as of right now seems a bit too high.

Other things added to the Bug Tracker.

i have renamed the old one "origweather.lua"
or is that not enough for the game to realise it?
So I loaded up after a long while.
Fresh installed game from GOG, installed everything like it says.
1. Failed to create D3D, then game turns off.
2. Use Software mode for gfx and game runs. BUT with choppy sounds .
Dont know what to do to fix these problems, sad to day.
Anyone got any clue ?

1. Set compatibility mode of launcher and mm8.exe to win98.
2. If your screen resolution higher than 1920x1080, decrease it to 1920x1080.
3. Reinstall Grayface's patch into game folder and reapply latest update.
I hope to change method of displaying weather effects in next update, what should make this tip unnecessary.
My native screen is 44 inch so its up in 3840.
Can I still use dgVoodoo program for nicer graphics ?

I know that but there may be some people that are Morrowind fans and, MM6-8 Like me, that come to this site.


If you've been tracking what U.S. officials are saying about whether Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi must step down as part of the international community's military intervention in Libya, you may be a little confused.
During a speech in Chile on Monday, for example, President Obama declared that "it is U.S. policy that Qaddafi needs to go."
Only one day later, however, Navy Admiral Samuel Locklear explained that if Qaddafi complies with a ceasefire and withdraws his troops from opposition-controlled cities, "then the fighting would stop. Our job would be over."
What's going on? The U.S. is actually in the process of defining its mission more clearly, but it's a bit complicated.
Essentially, as Obama explained in Chile, the U.S. is participating in a United Nations-authorized humanitarian mission in Libya, and America doesn't plan on straying from that limited goal. The U.S. might try to realize its goal of regime change through non-military measures like economic sanctions and asset freezes.
But Hot Air's Allahpundit isn't sold on Obama's distinction. "The entire unspoken strategy of this mission, such as it is, is to knock Qaddafi out quickly so that the rebels can overrun Tripoli and we can go home lickety split," he writes. "What you're seeing here, I think, is The One paying lip service to the alleged authority of international 'collective action' even while he and his western partners quietly look to skirt that authority by taking out the Mad Dog with a quick strike."
CNN's Gloria Borger, meanwhile, sees some circular logic in Obama's explanation. "How can we judge a humanitarian crisis averted? Sure, we can tell when the danger to innocent civilians has abated (because we have destroyed or dismantled Gadhafi's air capability). But if the core of that danger is a murderous thug who still reigns, can you only abate it by removing him? That's where the strategy gets a tad circular: How can you ensure the end of the killing unless you get rid of the hideous man ordering it?"
British Armed Forces Minister Nick Harvey didn't help clear up confusion about the coalition's exit strategy on Tuesday when, in responding to a question about how long the mission would last, he retorted, "How long is a piece of string?".

Stories from the Borderline of Hate and Suspicion
Ira Rabois September 3, 2018
Facebook Twitter StumbleUpon Pinterest Reddit Pocket WhatsApp Share via Email
In the locker room of the gym yesterday, three men changing their clothes near to me were talking about incidents of road rage and random anger they had witnessed. They were upset about how the mood on the street had changed since the last election. I could easily relate to the discussion and was relieved they seemed to be on "my side" of the political divide.
But the remarkable thing was that on previous days I had felt suspicious of two of the three men. They had looked angry to me, aggressive, not on my side at all. Taking sides means sides to stay away from.
When politics gets as divisive as it is now, it reaches into almost every aspect of our lives. It's not just online and newspapers, television, and radio. It is on the street, in the gym, work, and travel. We don't know from what side of the borderline of hate and division the driver of the car next to us might be or the person on the check out line behind us—or the policeman standing at the street corner. Hate and suspicion are contagious. This is one reason the level of anxiety and depression amongst college and k-12 students is at all-time highs.
And this is obviously not the first time the U. S. has been so divided. Think of the Civil War, the revolution, the suffrage, civil rights, and anti-war movements, etc. I grew up in the 1950s and 60s. Back then I was under the illusion I could discern sides by looking at the length of hair, the clothing, the age, and facial expression. All such illusions are shattered now, although sloganed t-shirts and confederate or Nazis flags speak all too clearly.
In December 1970, after vacationing in Berkeley, California, I had to return home to New York City. I didn't have much money so I arranged for a drive-away car. It was easy to get such cars back then. In exchange for driving someone's vehicle to their home for them, I could receive free transportation. An Englishman I had met in a theatre workshop, who I will call Adam, was going to share the ride with me.
Adam had met a woman, Nancy, and she wanted to go east with us. That was fine with me. What wasn't fine was that Adam had developed a drug dependency. He had been on speed and other drugs for weeks.
I told him we could only travel together if he stopped using. No drugs were allowed in the car. He agreed.
We left a few days after our talk. I started the driving. It was winter and a storm was forecast for that night so we had to get across the Rockies before the snow began. We drove south towards LA before turning east.
After a few hours, Adam said there was a rattle in the underside of the car. He thought it was the axle and feared it could fall off. Since he had worked as a mechanic for a few years, we became worried, even though neither Nancy nor I could hear the sound and it was a relatively new car.
A few minutes later he explained the reason for the loose axle, and Nancy and I became even more worried—but not about the car. Adam said we were getting too close to LA. There was a witch in LA who hated him and she was sabotaging the car. We had to change our route. Since we were already heading east, I told him we would soon be free of her influence.
It was clear his mental state was rapidly deteriorating. He denied he had taken any more drugs, but his denial was not believable. I kept the keys with me each time we stopped for a rest. Nancy did not have a license so I did all the driving. The mental image of falling snow and the sight of Adam suffering in the back seat made me press harder on the gas.
When we hit the Rockies, the sun set and the snow began. Adam was getting more and more irrational and I was too tired to drive any longer. We pulled into a scenic overlook, except the only scenery visible were snowflakes falling on the night. I told everyone to get out of the car. I went to the trunk, opened it, and pulled out Adam's backpack. Inside the backpack was a large bag filled with little white pills.
I yelled at Adam, demanding to know how he could lie to me like he did. He started crying. He was sorry. He was so sorry. I ripped open the bag and threw all the pills over the side of the mountain. They looked like dense snowflakes falling in the storm. We then returned to the car and fell asleep.
I awoke a few hours later. It was still dark and the road was covered in snow. I started the car and pulled onto the road. The headlights carved a tunnel into the darkness. The only way to know where to go was to slowly, blindly follow the tracks of the car barely visible in front of us. Eventually, the snow stopped, the sun rose, and the mountain ended.
East of the Rockies, I pulled into a gas station that also had a restaurant and a few stores. The attendant came out to pump the gas. There were no self-service pumps back then. He took one angry look at me and said, "You don't belong here" and other choice words. Adam and Nancy went into the restaurant to get some food, oblivious to the attendant's comments.
My hair back then was several inches long, curly, and stood proudly in the air. My beard was a little unkempt after driving for almost two days without shaving. I looked very much like a classic hippie. The attendant was white with short hair, in his fifties.
He went inside the gas station. Soon afterward, a young woman, a waitress from the restaurant, came out and approached me. She said I should get my friends and leave quickly. The attendant had called the local gun club and they were coming to get us.
The attendant came out, pulled out the gas hose, and demanded money. I paid him. A Chevy pick-up pulled into the gas station, with two men inside and two rifles in the rack in the rear window. They drove around in the back of the station, where there was a gun shop. The waitress and I hurried inside.
Adam and Nancy were at a table, eating. I told them we had to leave, immediately, but Adam refused to get up. He insisted I explain why. I told him about the attendant, the waitress, the pick-up truck, and the men coming to shoot us. We had to go, now.
Adam said no. We could not leave. We had to fight.
Remember, he was an actor with a trained voice, one more disciplined than my own. And he was suffering from a drug-induced mental breakdown.
He climbed up on the table. And in a voice both English-accented and loud, he started reciting the ending of Churchill's address to the House of Commons from June 1940, the speech that inspired his nation to fight the Nazis. "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets…"
Nancy and I pulled Adam off the table and out the door. Three men with rifles followed after us.
Just as we opened the car doors, two cars, state troopers, pulled into the gas station. I didn't know if they were there to join in the assault against us or to save us. I rushed into the front seat as quickly as possible and started the car, but one of the state policemen turned in front of our car and yelled out the window, "Follow me."
We followed him out of the station, one police car in front and one behind. They led us, safely, to the highway. They led us for the next twenty miles or so before they pulled off at an exit. Only then did my breathing become almost normal. However, in a way, I wished they were still with us.
And for days afterwards, in my mind, I thanked the waitress who had both warned us and called the state troopers. Three days later, we did make it safely back to New York. Adam did get some help with his drug addiction.
So, who do we want to be? Someone who uses hate to divide and kill? Or someone who cares enough to help save the lives of strangers even in defiance of neighbors? Do we want a community weakened by suspicion or one strengthened by a sense of shared humanity? This is our choice.
