I have good news and bad news.
The Good: My 6 year old daughter tried out and was selected for competitive gymnastics team this morning at a Level 2 (pre-team, level1, level2). She will be able to participate in competitions which are run by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU). I don't attend practices because they tell us the kids have better focus when the parents are not around so I was not aware of how good she is. She had been bugging me about tryouts for half a year now so when the opportunity came up to try out, I figured, why not? I'm really proud of her. When she reaches Level 3 ,which the coach says happens rather quickly, she will be able to participate in competitions which are run by USA Gymnastics(USAG).
The Bad: My life just got a whole lot busier.

Yay for your daughter, jp. I loved being on the gymnastics team when I was in high school, brand new sport in our school back then, shortly after the 1972 Olympics, which had some awesome female gymnasts, I still remember Olga Korbut, she became an inspiration during my high school years. I had high never-achieved aspirations back then, they also included wanting to be someplace where there was enough good snow to become an Olympic skier as well. but I most remember Olga. Your daughter is getting way way earlier opportunity to get good than us older ones did. what a delightful time for her. go girl go! run mom run! :smile:

We have a new Birchtree on the boards, everyone. Say hello to DaddyTin, Birchtree the 2d. Coal, it's what's for dinner. :smile:. I don't know if I'll ever buy eastern coal, but if BTU survives bankrupcy, I might buy some of that some day. I worked in vicinity of their open-pit operations back in my early post-college days, even had to drive through a strikeline once, first or second day of the strike when everyone was still in a good mood more or less, to get a key to remote undeveloped back of the property, away from the pit one day.
hold-your-breath time for a young goodlooking fit 20something gal in a pickup by herself surrounded by rowdy striking good-humored burly miners. had to drive through the line not once but twice-had to get back out again after I got the key from the main office. At least I was driving a .gov pickup not related to OSHA or anything like that, they almost got me slowed to a stop on the way out but I kept moving slow and steady, kinda like driving through a cattle drive on a back road. they were still smiling and laughing at that point. thankfully didn't have to do that again before the strike was over.

"Leading up to Brexit markets were held back by concerns that Britain would leave the EU. Then a few days prior consensus was that the UK would stay in the EU and the markets rallied smartly. Then when everyone was wrong on Friday morning, markets around the world sold off sharply for two days. Then when Article 50 and the logistics of leaving made it apparent that nothing would happen soon, markets rallied back toward pre-Brexit levels.
There is some buyer’s remorse from those that voted for Britain to exit the EU. Political leaders in the EU have expressed anger and encouraged a swift exit. Yet citizens across the Union have also expressed interest in leaving. At the same time there is a political vacuum in Britain with no clear successor to the outgoing, resigning Prime Minister Cameron. Meanwhile, despite a sharp two-day selloff in global equities last Friday and Monday, the market now appears rather unfazed after being extremely nonplussed for two days.
Perhaps as is often the case, all the fear of the dire consequences of a British exit from the EU are quite overblown. Of course there are risks, but there are always risks. Remember this vote is non-binding it is just a recommendation by the voters to Parliament that 52% of them would like to leave the EU and 48% want to stay. It still remains to be seen if Brexit will actually happen and if it does how detrimental it will be to the UK, EU and global economies and markets. However, we believe it will proceed and the UK will leave the EU.
In the long run Brexit will likely be a blessing in disguise. It has the potential to strengthen both the UK and EU, by freeing up the UK, which is the 5[SUP]th[/SUP] largest economy in the world and not in the Eurozone to set its own economic path, and catalyze the EU to hone its structure. In the near term, however, it is likely to add to market volatility and hamper economic growth as the powers that be figure out the next steps to Brexit and are pulled away from concentrating on implementing economic growth policies and initiatives."
