With so many alien civilizations out there, why haven't we found them, or why haven't they found us? That is because of the obvious reason that we are a self-destructing race, where we don't know how to live in peace and haven't learnt to love our fellow humans in the first place.
I just want to remind you people that there's very little time on earth left. By the time you realize and try to let your heart out, poof, everything will be gone, in a jiffy. Just like the burst of wind on a pile of leaves before the arrival of a storm.

Mad Dog's thought for the day:

SNORE member put up $100,000 surety bond
The 2009 Mint 400 off road race in late March northeast of Las Vegas almost didnt happen and probably would not have were it not for a generous gesture on behalf of one member of the Southern Nevada Off Road Enthusiasts (SNORE).
A late requirement by the Bureau of Indian Affairs complicated by an apparent lack of communications required a $100,000 surety bond sending SNORE and its members scrambling to meet the demands while also saving the race.
Only quick thinking by one of SNOREs members generated the $100,000 to save the event, according to the source which chose not to be identified. In fact, when the group presents its Jimmy Schaeffer Award lauding the efforts of one single individual later this year, there is not much question who will receive the award.
We had to fully fund it because we could not get it underwritten in time, the source revealed recently.
On June 29, the person who put up the money was paid back. However, it goes without saying that the race likely would not have occurred were it not for the quick work on behalf of the SNORE member.
Mike Haller, who works with the realty division of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, said the decision for a surety bond came about a month before the race although SNORE didnt actually learn about the decision until 10-14 days before the event.
We werent even sure the race was going to go forward because there were quite a few things that needed to be taken care of, said Haller, whose office is in St. George, Utah. We didnt know if they were going to leave cars in the desert or maybe have oil spills. We simply didnt know what damage might occur.
We generally require a $100,000-$150,000 surety bond anytime the land is to be used. I dont see why SNORE could not have the event on the Indian reservation again next year.
As it turned out, SNORE lived up to the requirements and will meet with the BIA in August to see about using the area again in 2010.
While the late requirement of SNORE was a jolt to some, it wasnt surprising to KJ Howe, who was the race director of the event from 1973-85.
It didnt surprise me at all, Howe said. The same thing happened to us in 1983 with the Mint 400. The Indians had already hit us with an enormous fee to begin with and the next thing we knew, the fee was tripled. There was no warning or anything. They told us to take it or leave it so I told them to leave it.
In those days, we had 100,000 spectators and the Mint Hotel negotiated to hire the Indian labor force to conduct post-race cleanup. That was fine until we found ourselves dealing with last-minute requirements.
Howe said he warned officials that the race would be run around the reservation.
They told me I couldnt do it, said Howe, who was both a promoter and competitor in the old Mint 400 events. We went with Plan B by going around them and everything went just fine.
Howe suggested that SNORE deal with the latest issue by making plans now to avoid the reservation in 2010, if possible.
Danny Cau, who was involved with off-road racing first in 1982 when he worked in timing and scoring for the High Desert Racing Association before buying the organization, said that he didnt have many problems running the Mint 400 through Indian land during a seven year period.
I didnt know it had become that difficult, said Cau, who sold the HDRA to SCORE in 1993 and worked for the Sal Fish operation until 1997. I do recall, however, the problems that Walt (HDRA owner Walt Lott) and KJ had.
For the most part, I have nothing but good memories. But then, there is just so much bureaucratic tape to go through now.

|Bristol Airport at 5am..
Going to Cordoba this last spring yielded at least two new experiences: my first field trip abroad with the staff and students of the University of Gloucestershire and, on a more personal note, my first trip to the region of Spain my Sephardi Jewish ancestors were expelled from in 1492, travelling on first to Portugal, then Amsterdam and then, in the seventeenth-century, to London, at the invitation of Oliver Cromwell, where the family have remained.
|At Medina Azahara, waiting for bus..
The Jewish trace, in Cordoba, is just that. The Jewish presence-in-absence is yet more elusive than that of Islam or Catholicism, whose monuments, as in most urban topographies of power, occupy the grand central spaces of the city. If you want Jewish ghosts, you have to turn into the winding alleyways and small squares, and preferably at night. True, we visited the remains of an exquisite synagogue and a small but vivid museum; I also spotted a restaurant serving traditional Sephardi dishes which, if I could find it again, I'd visit next time. And there was the famous statue of Maimonides – he wouldn't have approved of it as full-body statues would generally be regarded as contrary to Jewish laws relating to idolatry – which nonetheless situated his work in a very particular historical time and space that had previously felt as abstract as much of his thought. But, if you're interested in pursuing the Jewish heritage of Cordoba you need to have done some research beforehand and know what you're looking for. A talk by one of our guides was a great help, but you also need to use your imagination which, in this complex, mysterious city, where the sediment of Jewish history is so rich in achievement and pathos, is not difficult to do.
|Another philosophical debate
But, back in 2015, a pleasure of the trip that I should have anticipated, but didn't, were the impromptu open-air, on-foot religion and philosophy seminars. This lent fresh meaning to the word 'pedagogy'! – students and staff enjoying theoretical discussions that were more fluid, heated, and perhaps more creative, exchanges than many held in the classroom. There must have been something in the air…and the unseasonable heat; the golden light and the dramatic shadows cast by perhaps the most spectacular architecture I have ever seen.
|Our tour of the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba
Thanks for making my experience on the trip so rewarding must go to Dave for his meticulous planning and totally unfazed approach to any mishaps – but also to the students: all of them, but especially Ally, Caroline, Kathryne, Tom and Bingying.

China remains on a U.S. buying spree, but it's blocking deals with Hollywood as Beijing tries to stop money from gushing out of the country.
Big Chinese companies, most of which are directed by Beijing to one degree or another, snapped up $45.6 billion worth of U.S. companies, technology and other property in 2016, triple the year before, accordingly to economic analysis firm Rhodium Group. But increasingly, individual Chinese firms have to prove to their regulators that they're not just trying to sneak capital out of the country into safer assets overseas.
"The government approves deals that are core to the business of the Chinese firm — to make sure they are not disguising capital flight as a legitimate" acquisition, said Evan Medeiros, managing director and Asia practice head at Eurasia Group, a consulting firm. "They are not targeting entertainment companies per se."
China cutting back on investment overseas
Source: Exante Data China Flow Analytics
Last week The Wall Street Journal, citing sources, said that talks between American studio giant MGM and several Chinese companies broke down late last year. The newspaper also said that capital controls have prevented a $1 billion acquisition of Dick Clark Productions by Chinese real estate conglomerate Dalian Wanda. Back in 2012, Wanda acquired AMC Entertainment for about $2.6 billion.
Asked for comment by CNBC, MGM referred to the Journal's report, in which a spokeswoman said, "MGM is in the strongest position ever and is not for sale."
Eldridge Industries, currently the owner of Dick Clark, declined CNBC's request for comment, while Dalian Wanda did not respond to a request.
Other "soft" acquisitions are finding themselves held up as well. Reuters reported Monday that China's sports ministry warned private Chinese investors to follow national rules on investment in foreign soccer clubs — where Chinese interests have sent more than $3 billion over the past year or so.

**A local author has written an exciting children's book about the cemetery. Click here for more information**
Summer 2017 Update
For our bat survey on the evening of May 20th, we had a good turnout of eight people, walking around the perimeter of the cemetery. Bats were heard on detectors or observed in four different places. Most of them were common pipistrelles but there was one soprano pipistrelle too. Two bats were heard and seen on the northern perimeter by the old wall. Two more were heard & seen near the lime trees to left of Broadwater gate, including the soprano pipistrelle. Ray heard another common pipestrelle along the path that borders Fishpond field. We saw another bat along the limetree walk but did not pick up it's sound, because it was moving away.
The small mammal survey was carried out over the weekend of 10th/11th June. The humane traps were put in two areas of long grass - one behind the war memorial and another around the apiary. Grass and food were put in the traps and several friends volunteered to check at different points over the weekend. On Sunday morning, Iain and Ray found a field vole in one trap and also clear evidence that a woodmouse had visited, without tripping the shutter! The vole cunningly escaped before it could be wieghed or photographed. However, a more extensive survey is being considered for later in the year.
The Friends are pleased to announce that there will be a Butterfly walk on 30th July at 11am. Meet at the Vestry. Also, Roy Vickery will lead a walk on Uses and Folklore of wild plants at our open day on September 24th.
Spring 2017 Update
The bees have been treated for Veroa and are doing well, so the bee keepers are making new frames Ray has produced a detailed wildlife report covering 2016 (Annual Report Streatham Cemetery Wildlife 2016 PDF)
The friends have decided to hold the following events:
An early morning bird walk with Ray - 22nd April 2017: meet 6 am at the main gate
A bat survey and a small mammal survey in early Summer organised by Dr Iain Boulton
Open Day on September 24th 2017 from 2 - 4 pm

Scrubbing, cleaning, sanding and painting – just another day at work for the professionals at GE Finance.
Six hardy volunteers from GE Finance visited The Infants' Home this week to help with various maintenance tasks.
After a quick lesson about The Infants' Home's 137-year history and an outline of the work we do today, the small work gang swung into action.
Paul Sembi, Maggie Camilleri, Ket Nguyen, Tom Bisson, Peter Ng and Chris Naylor would normally spend their working day dealing with clients and maintaining IT systems in the GE Fleet and Equipment Finance section based in Parramatta.
But after downing their coffees and a few cans of V energy drink the team put their shoulders to the wheel for a very different cause.
The team spent the day cleaning windows and doors, tidying up a toy shed, scrubbing play equipment, sanding and re-varnishing wooden toys and repairing a sandpit cover.
Maggie Camilleri and Paul Sembi work on the same team at Parramatta. And so they were again at The Infants' Home – a little wet and covered in suds as they scrubbed some children's outdoor play equipment.
"I would normally be sitting behind a computer screen but it's great to be outdoors doing something completely different – especially on a day like today," says Camilleri. "My boss also asked me to keep an eye on Paul to make sure he does his share."
The Infants' Home CEO Anita Kumar says there is a serious side behind the light-hearted nature of a good, old-fashioned working bee.
"Whenever we have a group here to help us with maintenance they are continuing a long tradition of corporate volunteering that makes a real difference to our work with vulnerable children," says Anita.
"GE has been one of our most dedicated supporters. We love having them here and we always appreciate their efforts to help keep our grounds and equipment in good shape."

Spring is Finally Here!!
After a cold, snowy, long winter, spring has finally sprung in the Chicago area, woohoo! And I am celebrating by creating some beautiful spring wreaths.
This particular one being my current favorite:
It's simply gorgeous, if I may say so myself
And since silk hydrangeas make such beautiful wreaths, I just had to create some more. Here's my white and blue and pink hydrangea wreaths. All just perfect for spring and summer decorating.
I also created a bright and cheerful yellow rose wreath:
And a fun and trendy personalized burlap wreath:
All of these wreaths are available at my shop – White Door Studios, along with many others, all waiting for you to snatch them up and make your home the prettiest one on the block this spring!
Happy Decorating,

Companies have time and time again fallen apart trying to manage high administrative costs and the complexities of controlling customer and channel partner relations without a management system or with one developed "in house". SaaS has therefore, proven to be a big leap forward for both providers and consumers.
Here's how:
Providers: Companies are increasingly taking advantage of the benefits of cloud computing, such as the reduction of infrastructural costs, scalability and adaptability, a better quality of service in less time and the security of data being stored in a safe environment. Following the "as a Service" model guarantees the flexibility and efficiency that companies need, offering a strong competitive advantage.
Consumers: SaaS has effectively commoditized IT functions which used to be really complex and expensive, making them accessible at a lower cost. Website analytics are a good example of advanced capabilities which have been democratized. To put it simply, SaaS simplifies, reducing cost, time and resources for the consumer.
There is however, a widely circulated myth is in the midst of the great SaaS boom: that Software as a Service has almost eradicated the need for channel partners and channel partner programs.
Check out our guide which introduces you to the SaaS revolution and explains clearly how channel partner programs are the golden key to continual growth and success for SaaS providers.
SaaS vendors are not using channel partners (SIs) or Value Added Resellers (VARs) very much. In fact they account for only 35-45% of SaaS provider revenue which is significantly less than the percentage for on-premises software. Only 23% of B2B SaaS vendors have a channel program, while 80% of on-premises software vendors do.
The main reasons for the shift away from channel partners are:
- configurations tend to be made by customers, when in the past, because of their complexity, they would have been made by channel partners
- development, installation and upgrades used to be performed by VARs but are now done centrally by the service provider
- SaaS companies are only beginning to take their first steps, so haven't gotten round to implementing a channel program
- Channel programs are much more necessary when it comes to international sales and as most SaaS companies are quite young, they've rarely expanded into the global market
The as-a-service model has essentially changed the role and value-added status of channel partners, meaning they now need to work more strategically than ever before. To find out exactly how partners can adapt to SaaS, what has been making them reluctant, and the ins and outs of what the revolution entails, download our Guide now!

IT decisions need to be aligned with greater business goals: Autotask
Business management software vendor, Autotask, recommends IT decisions be aligned with a company's larger goals in order to remain relevant.
Product management VP, Patrick Burns, expects IT providers to become even more essential to companies as they try to achieve their business objectives this year.
"Leaders need to recognize that sometimes the best solutions for the business are external which can mean partnering with an ITSP [Internet telephony service provider]," he said.
IT executives also need to educate their team that it is "fine to give up physical control" as long as the due diligence is in place and the solution has well-defined IT policies.
Outsourcing tactical initiatives also has the potential to free up the internal IT team to make more strategic contributions, as well as add value to the business.
"ITSPs have the advantage of seeing how tools and solutions can work across industries and can provide unique perspective into tools and best practices," Burns said.
Push for integration
Another way businesses can meet the growing demands on the market is to "focus on the big picture".
By this, the importance of understanding the business's bigger picture goals need to be reinforced by the IT provider, as well as pushing their teams to integrate with the rest of the organisation.
"Engineers are natural problem solvers and there's always enough work to keep them busy, but understanding and aligning with broader business goals makes sure that IT is impacting business performance and not just keeping the lights on," Burns said.
As for how to get users on your side, Burns recommends treating them like customers.
"As technology environments move to the Cloud and mobile computing, the role of IT will shift from being a gatekeeper of systems to a broker of services," he said.
By approaching this new landscape like a service provider, Burns said there are multiple benefits ranging from improving service delivery to increasing accountability on both sides.
IT staff also become encouraged to "think like a business" and carry out "sensible, fact-based decisions" that affect the bottom line. "If IT professionals are able to lead their teams in this direction we will see IT playing a bigger, more strategic role in organisations," Burns said.

As it goes, my Saskatechewan Roughriders have earned an opportunity to play the Montreal Alloets for the title of national champions.
I have been a rider fan for as long as I can remember, and for rider fans, it's not just a game, it's something more.
So Rider fans are a little different you might say. They are committed to their only professional sports team, like the hardy people of the land that they are.
So today I'll be cheering for them and see if they can pull off a huge upset over Montreal.
Whatever the outcome, it'll be a good day because the one thing Rider fans know and have learned is that there always is next year.
Go Riders.

Well, are we going to get the pastor's take on the game?!ReplyDelete
Well, the game ended how I thought it would, but to loose it on the last play, well that was really tough.ReplyDelete
Think of it this way, Montreal won most of their games this year, they did the hard work of getting better over time, and they've been to this dance 6 times already. Their older quarterback has had what was it, 26 playoff games in his life.
Saskatchewan hasn't won nearly as many games this year and has a learning, growing, young team. Their quarterback has had like 23 professional starts in his whole life, and only two playoff starts.
So while I would have loved for Sask to win, it would have been a win because Montreal didn't show up to play, which was what the first half was about.
Besides, there are things you can learn in the failures of life that you simply can never learn anyplace else. These young guys will learn from this and it will make them better players.
They'll be back to this dance again, and soon. What they are building in Sask is a long term, solid organization that will compete at professional levels for years to come.
Right now they are good, but they are going to be great.
Oooh, and I like how your comments have a big number showing which one they are. That's classy.ReplyDelete
So that's the logic of Riders fans...ReplyDelete
"Maybe next year we'll win. If we're lucky. Maybe. But then, by gosh, we will be great!"
I just hope that no-one tarnishes the reputation of Rider fans by dumping a load of manure in the driveway of the 13th man, like someone did when Paul McCallum missed his field goal attempt a few years ago.ReplyDelete

How to tell if YOU should book a program with
Or maybe it was a hawk?
As nature is increasingly removed from our lives with each passing year it becomes all the more important to remind ourselves and our children about its beauty and benefits!
Have you ever been hiking along a nature trail
and spotted a black snake basking in the sun?
Would you like to learn more about snakes and how important they are to the ecosystem? Perhaps even touch one under SAFE conditions and find out that they are not slimy at all!
Do you know a child who got excited because they spotted a rabbit outside
and wished that they could pet its soft coat?
Are you a teacher and you have to cover a nature subject such as Pond Life
and you would rather have the children get a hands on experience instead of just pictures in a book?
Are you looking for an Exciting and FUN program for the senior center where you work or volunteer?
Maybe you are looking for a way to make your child's birthday party special and memorable?
(Not to mention give yourself a short break from the mayhem...)
If you answered YES to any of these questions then a quality program that Echoes of Nature provides is a perfect choice!
Even if you didn't answer yes to any of the above scenarios, it probably means the writer just didn't have enough imagination!
But truly we have other options such as afterschool, summer programs, scouts and other community functions. Echoes of Nature can supply all of this and more at your location!

Yes, there are bad times today. But that's no reason not to sing nice songs about the crisis:
The puddle
There's something about hookers. And you can think of that in any way you like. Hookers have always been special social figures. People thought of their job as an unworthy thing to do. But prostitution has also continuously been a contrast to ordinary people's life — even if it was for some people clearly integrated into their lives. So I guess it's good to think about one's own position towards hookers and prostitution. ParriFin does it this way:
The first question is: How much yoghurt did ParriFin spill on herself? And where? It seems to be more than a tiny drop on your shirt. And it was definetly enough to grab the thought of comparing it with a hooker's job.
I never thought that hookers are training with yoghurts to avoid getting too much puddles of sperm on their clothes. Most of them can handle it now, so that only overeagered hookers cock up their clothes.
But I think for them it's a kind of proof of their professionalism. And shurely there are many hookers with wardrobes full of shirts of evidence. Like those goblets on the shelf in the living-rooms of ordinary people.

Bustle & the Bee Gees
Omnipresent New York concert promoter Jake Szufnarowski put together a supergroup or two in his day as the Wetlands talent buyer and, more recently, with his own company Rocks Off. Perhaps most notably, for his birthday in 2003, Szufnarowski created Bustle In Your Hedgerow, an all-star instrumental Led Zeppelin cover band which now features Scott Metzger, Weens Dave Dreiwitz and the Benevento/Russo Duo. After a busy year, which saw Bustle In Your Hedgerow play in four different time zones, the quartet will once again celebrate Szufnarowskis birthday with a performance aboard New Yorks Rocks Off Boat Cruise tomorrow. The late night cruise will depart at 11 PM aboard the Temptress.
Recently, Szufnarowski has also focused his energies on the all-star tribute band Tragedy, which covers the music of the Bee Gees. The group features Satanicide/Hair Supply/Children of the Unicons Phil Costello, Moi?s Royce Peterson and Szufnarowski, himself, playing the part of the Gibb Brothers, backed by a live band that includes keyboardist accordion-ace Corn Mo. The group, which bills itself as The Tri-State Area's #1 Metal Tribute to the Bee Gees will open for Beatallica at New Yorks Highline Ballroom this Sunday. Tragedy will also support Generals & Majors at New Yorks Bowery Ballroom on September 7, Umphreys McGee at the Nokia Theater on October 20 and Murphys Law at the Blender Theater on October 26.

Bio-Art-Attack Competition
It's time to get creative and think big with this year's Bio-Art-Attack competiton!
What is a Bio-Art-Attack? These can be anything from collages to models, sculptures or paintings created by yourself or your lab group, classroom, coursemates or any other biology enthusiasts.
Themes to think about
Ecology: From the depths of the sea to the Amazon jungle, there are a rich variety of habitats which could provide inspiration for a Bio-Art-Attack. You could choose an individual species, or perhaps species interactions.
Under the microscope: Microscopes can reveal the shapes of cells, whether they are single-celled organisms or forming tissues, and give insights into cell division. Some things are too small to be seen under a light microscope. Scanning electron microscopes produce fascinating images, from the structure of an insect's eye to a colony of bacteria. Even smaller, you could represent the structure of molecules such as DNA in your artwork.
Being a scientist: Labs contain equipment, such as microscopes, which could be the focus for the artwork. You could even create a whole lab scene.
Prizes are up for grabs!
A judging panel of RSB staff shortlist eight entries, that the public can then decide the winner of through a public poll.
The top three BioArtAttack winners received a pack of art supplies to help towards their next biology-inspired creation.
How to enter
You can email us up to five photos of your creation during Biology Week. Please include the following:
- the full names and ages of those involved with creating the piece
- a first point of contact name, email address, phone number and postal address
We will not be accepting video entries. Only photos of creations or scanned images of paintings and illustrations can be submitted.
All entries must be emailed, we will no longer be accepting entries submitted via twitter or via other social media channels.
Extra credit?
BioArtAttacks submissions can be used as a basis for a CREST Star or CREST Award.
2017 Bio-Art-Attack winners announced
Over 70 high quality and exciting art pieces were entered into this year's Bio-Art-Attack competition, including collages, sculptures and stop motion videos covering a wide range of subjects within the biosciences.
RSB staff shortlisted eight of the best entries, and it was then almost 700 votes were cast in the public poll to decide on the winners.
Alex Cross, 11, a pupil at Abbey Gate College in Chester, received the most votes for his model of a serotonin molecule.
Alex's entry combined a model of the molecular structure of serotonin with some information about its role as a neurotransmitter in the brain
Submissions from Kings Priory School in Tynemouth and Whalley Range 11-18 High School in Manchester were runners up, and will receive art supplies.
2016 entries
In 2016 year three winners were selected by judges Dr Rebecca Nesbit MRSB, scientific programme manager at Nobel Media, Tom Ireland MRSB, editor of The Biologist, and Billy Mills AMRSB, Biology Week intern at the Royal Society of Biology.
Katie Huckett for her stop motion animation of the life cycle of a cancer cell.
Year 9 pupils from the Francis Holland School for their model of a cell made from a football.
Arnav (9) & Mihika (6) Sharma for their multimedia explanation of the power of DNA.

Sudden Departure turns tables on She's All Silk
AUBURN, Wash. - She's All Silk's speed is an awesome weapon, as she demonstrated when she blitzed her field in last month's Washington State Legislators Handicap at 6 1/2 furlongs. Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing, however, and that appeared to be the case in Wednesday's one-mile King County Handicap for fillies and mares.
Breaking sharply from the outside post under regular rider Ricky Frazier, She's All Silk quickly cleared her eight rivals and opened a daylight lead that just kept growing. By the time she had sped six furlongs in 1:08.60, she was six lengths in front of Sudden Departure in second.
"I kept trying to gear her down, but every time I took a little hold she strained at the bit," said Frazier. "She just wouldn't come back to me."
Even so, She's All Silk retained an advantage inside the sixteenth marker, and she fought back gallantly when Sudden Departure came to her. Sudden Departure had a bit more left when push came to shove, however, prevailing by half a length in a stakes-record clocking of 1:34.20.
"I can't fault Ricky one bit," said Pat Mullens, who trains She's All Silk for owner Ed Zenker. "He did everything he could to get her to relax, but she didn't cooperate very well. Still, she almost pulled it off."
While no one was inclined to criticize Frazier, Douglas Portillo came in for a good deal of praise for his patient ride aboard Sudden Departure. Leading the chorus was Washington Hall of Fame trainer Jim Penney, who celebrated his 73rd birthday on the Fourth of July.
"He did a really nice job," said Penney. "We like him a lot. He was one of the leading apprentices in the country, but he got overlooked riding in Southern California. He just needs some exposure."
Portillo, who moved his tack here less than a month ago on the advice of agent Tony Matos, posted his first Emerald Downs stakes victory in the King County. It was also the first stakes win for Sudden Departure, a 5-year-old daughter of Demons Begone who races for breeders Rick and Debbie Pabst.
Sudden Departure seemed to be on the verge of stardom last year when she won her seasonal debut by 5 1/2 lengths while earning an 87 Beyer, but she went unplaced through three subsequent starts.
"She just had a series of little problems last year, and it was very frustrating that we weren't able to get the best from her," said Penney's daughter and assistant, Kay Cooper. "We finally decided to turn her out and try again this year, and the owners were gracious enough to allow us to give her the time she needed."
Sudden Departure began her current campaign with a victory over $32,000 claimers, then ran second to She's All Silk in the Washington State Legislators before turning the tables on Wednesday.
The Pabsts, who bred She's All Silk as well as Sudden Departure, had named their latest stakes winner while in a rueful mood. Her dam, Impulsive, who got her own name because she was a spontaneous purchase at Keeneland, died while giving birth to Sudden Departure.
Harwood has strong hand for juvenile stakes
With no stakes on the Emerald Downs schedule for this weekend, the focus turns to the initial stakes at the meeting for 2-year-olds. The six-furlong Angie C. Stakes for juvenile fillies will be run July 15, while the male counterpart to the Angie C., the Premio Esmeralda, will go on July 21.
Trainer Doris Harwood figures to be well-represented in both of those events. Harwood has saddled four of the 18 juvenile winners at this meeting, including the winners of both of the maiden special weight races offered for males. The latest of those winners was Dat's Dream, who graduated last Sunday after running five furlongs in 56.60 seconds, the fastest clocking at the distance ever registered by a 2-year-old at Emerald Downs.
Harwood purchased Dat's Dream, a son of Langfuhr from the Valid Appeal matron Go Again Valid, for Golden Aggie Ranch at last September's Keeneland Sale, paying $67,000.
"He was the first horse I ever bought in Kentucky," reported Harwood. "I'm glad he seems to be turning out the way we hoped, because I had a lot of fun going back there to pick him out. I'd like to do it again."
Impressive as Dat's Dream was in his maiden win, he may have to take a back seat in Harwood's barn to the Northwest Farms-bred filly Smarty Deb. A half-sister by Smart Strike to three-time stakes winner Shampoo, also trained by Harwood, Smarty Deb defeated Dat's Dream and other males in the first maiden special weight race of the meeting on May 13.
"She might be the best horse I have ever trained," said Harwood. "I know it is early to say that, but she has just done every single thing right. She is so smart and so classy, I just can't help getting excited about her."
Both Dat's Dream and Smarty Deb, as well as $40,000 maiden winner Margo's Gift and $30,000 maiden winner Russian, both also trained by Harwood, are being pointed for the initial 2-year-old stakes.

Hey all and welcome to my article on What Makes a Good Boyfriend! Finding the perfect boyfriend, that prince charming, is by no means an easy task. It also doesn't help that when you do find that perfect man he seems to almost always belong to someone else. We are sure that in your quest to find that perfect boyfriend you have stopped to ask yourself "what makes a good boyfriend"? Luckily there are quite a few qualities and traits that good boyfriends possess that can help you on your quest to find your Mr. Right.
The main thing that you need to remember in your search for the perfect boyfriend is that we all have flaws, so believing that everyone is perfect is foolish. Oh we should also be clear that when you are searching for that great guy you should ensure that you too have what it takes to be great woman yourself. You should also know that sometimes the things that we see as flaws might actually be ignorance. Sometimes the guy simply has no clue what a woman wants, even if he is trying his very best to learn how to please her. The good news is that in every man there lies a great boyfriend, all he has to do is to choose to become the boyfriend of your dreams; without losing himself of course.
Before we go into what makes a good boyfriend we must say that there are times when no matter how hard you try to get a relationship to work it might not happen as that person may be too stuck in his ways and too unwilling to change. If that is the case then it is in your best interest to simply cut your losses and move on and work on finding someone who you are more compatible with. If you just started dating a guy that you met online or offline then feel free to use the following qualities as a reference point to help you to determine whether or not you have landed a good boyfriend and if he is a good fit for you or not.
The qualities that we have listed aren't qualities that are intangible to humans nor are these expectations too ambitious to expect from a man. If the man that has caught your eye is truly a good boyfriend then these qualities will already be within him. Now do not think that he has to have every single quality on this list, as a few missing qualities (depending on the quality and its importance to you) is okay; however, if he is missing a lot of these qualities then move along. Let's get right into the list of What Makes a Good Boyfriend! Also make sure to check out some of my other articles including romantic evening ideas, online dating profile tips, first message tips and the best first date ideas article.
He Communicates
If there is one quality that a man should absolutely possess for him to be considered a good boyfriend, it has to be the ability to communicate. This is because all relationships are built on two things communication and understanding. A great boyfriend will therefore love talking with his girlfriend. He will always have something to talk about with his girlfriend whether or not something new happened. The most important thing that a boyfriend like that wants to understand you and wants you to understand him when he communicates with you.
He Listens to You
A good boyfriend is one who is willing to listen to you. He wont assume that he knows everything, he is willing to hear and consider your point of view, especially if it involves a decision that will affect the both of you.
He is Romantic
A good boyfriend is one who isn't afraid to be a romantic gentleman to his love interest/girlfriend. He isn't afraid to do things that other men would consider sappy or old-fashioned. There are guys who will just stop trying once they have won the hart of their woman; however, doing this tends to lead to relationship issues later on. A good boyfriend will never take a back seat and stop trying as soon as he has won your heart.
He Shows Interest in Your Life
Okay ladies question time. Does your boyfriend ask you about things that are happening in your life daily? One of the signs of a good boyfriend is that he is always interested in the things that goes on in his girlfriend's life on a daily basis. To some this might seem annoying and intrusive (yes it really can be if overdone); however, this is merely a sign that he misses you and cares to hear about your day.
He Brings Out the Best in You
A loving boyfriend will always try to motivate you to be the very best person that you can possibly be and help you to reach your fullest potential. What a good boyfriend will never do is to belittle you or call you incompetent or do anything to prevent you from reaching your full potential.
He Has His Own Life Goals
Speaking of goals and ambitions; what makes a good boyfriend, in addition to helping you with your goals is a man who also has his own set of life goals that he is working towards. He is not complaining about the unfairness of life, instead he takes control and makes the best of what he has been given.
He Doesn't Force You
Some women are in relationships where they are forced to things that they would otherwise not do. Well ladies a what makes good boyfriend is a man who would never, ever force you to do anything that you don't want to do, period. What he might do; however, is to give you his advice or try to convince you why he thinks that doing something right or why you need to do something. He will never try to threaten or otherwise manipulate you into doing something against your will.
He Notices You
Is you boyfriend able to realize that you cut your hair or that you bought a new dress? If he does then congratulations you have yourself a good boyfriend on hand. A good boyfriend is very observant and will notice everything about you, even the small things that you might not notice yourself.
He Shows You the Respect that You Deserve
Does your boyfriend ogle at other women in your presence? Does he speak negatively about you to his friends, or puts you in a bad light with them? A good boyfriend respects you and would never disrespect you to your face or behind your back.
He Has Time For You
Yes we know that people are really busy these days and your boyfriend is no exception. However, if he is a good boyfriend he WILL make time for you no matter what. Maybe this means him staying up a bit later than usual, or waking up earlier. It could be that he spend a few minutes or a few hours with you. Now this doesn't have to be face to face interactions all the time as a simple phone or Skype call will do. Now what is important for you to remember is that a good boyfriend will do this without you having to nag him about it. A good man does this because he wants to.
He is not Stubborn and Makes Compromises for you
A good boyfriend is one who is stubborn with matters that involve his ambitions and determinations; however, he is not stubborn (well overly stubborn) when it comes to life plans with his woman or making decisions with her. Of course this certainly doesn't mean that he is always going to do what his girlfriend wants, it simply means that he is willing to compromise. In his relationship with you, his girlfriend compromise is the name of the game. He understands that sometimes he will have to make sacrifices at times and that he might have to do something that he doesn't like simply because he knows that it means a lot to you and/or it will make you happy.
He Wants You to Be Independent
Your boyfriend may want to be with you all the time; however, he also wants you to get the space that you need in order to pursue your dreams. Sure he loves you and sure he will miss being around you, but he knows that it is important that you live your own life, even if that means spending some time without him.
He Doesn't Want to Control You
So let's say you find the man of your dreams. In the first few months everything is perfect; but as time goes by you realize that he starts to control you. First in subtle ways, then in more apparent ways. Ladies good boyfriends do not do that. Good boyfriends never try to control their girlfriends at all. If you realize that your boyfriend is being controlling speak with him about it. If he refuses to change then it is best you both part ways.
He Makes you Feel Loved and Secured
A good boyfriend will do all that he can to make you feel loved. He will show his love with his actions and words. Just remember that he will not always show you his love in large ways so be appreciative of the little things as well.
He Takes Pride in His Appearance for You
Does your boyfriend take the time out to properly groom himself when he comes over to our place? If yes then perfect you have found yourself a rare good boyfriend. This is because what makes a good boyfriend is a man who takes pride in his appearance. A good boyfriend will also work out in order to stay fit and healthy because he wants to appeal to you. Of course he should also be doing this for himself as well.
He isn't Lonely
Come on ladies who wants to date a man who has no life, who has literally all the time in the world to spend with you. Okay so sure in the beginning it might seem like a good thing, your man spending endless amounts of time with you, but eventually it could leave you feeling like you can't breathe if he is always in your space. If you are dating a lonely guy find out why he is so lonely. It could be because he is an introvert or antisocial, or worse aggressive or manipulative.
He Isn't Addicted to Anything
Far too many guys allow their lives to get away from them because they let their addictions take over their lives. If you notice that your boyfriend is overly addicted to something then it is time to walk away. A good boyfriend is able to take control over the things that he likes so that he is not addicted to them.
He Keeps His Word
A good boyfriend will always keep his promise. He will never go back on his word. He has principles that guides him in life and he sticks to them. This is something thaat you can even notice from the first date. Such as did he call you when he said he would, was he on time etc.
He Calls You
Speaking of calling. This sounds silly but a good boyfriend will make sure that he stays in touch with you. He will call you and give you updates on the things that are happening in his life. To him there is never a need to be secretive with you, he will never avoid your calls, even if he is out with his friends. Good boyfriends don't ignore or shut the women in their lives out. This is very important for what makes a good boyfriend.
He is Good Between the Sheets
A good boyfriend is not afraid to be creative in order to keep your sex life fresh and fun. He does this without asking because he understands that sex is an important part of the relationship and because he wants to maintain a happy and active sex life.
You Are Important to Him
A good boyfriend who loves you and sees a future with you will show you that you are important to him. He will not put trivial things in front of you, because you mean a lot to him. This might be the most important thing for what makes a good boyfriend!
Final Thoughts on what Makes a Good Boyfriend
Ladies, we would just like to emphasize that this is not a one-size-fits all description of what makes a good boyfriend, nor is this a comprehensive list. We know that some of these qualities will mean more to some women than others, and we are also aware of the fact that different cultures will place greater value on some qualities than others and that is completely fine. This list is merely to be used as a guidelines to know whether or not the man that you are dating has the qualities of a good boyfriend or not. Also please bear in mind that your boyfriend need not have everything on this list to be considered a good boyfriend. As long as he has the most important qualities to you, then that is all that matters. At the very least ladies you can use this list to weed out the bad boyfriends in your lives. I hope you all liked my article on What Makes a Good Boyfriend!

Black Terror #1
- Story by
- Alex Ross and Jim Krueger
- Art by
- Mike Lilly
- Colors by
- Vinicius Andrade
- Letters by
- Simon Bowland
- Cover by
- John Romita and Sr.
- Publisher
- Dynamite Entertainment
This Dynamite incarnation of "Black Terror" is a spin-off of the recent "Project Superpowers" series, and perhaps this issue reads better if you've read that series first. But I doubt it, because the first issue of "Black Terror" establishes the setting fairly well, and though the other "Project Superpowers" gang shows up in a number of panels, it's really the Black Terror himself who matters. This is his story, his quest for revenge and/or answers, and it's not very good at all.
The Black Terror was originally created in the early 1940s as one of any number of Batman rip-offs that dotted the Golden Age comics landscape. Like Batman, the Black Terror did not fight crime alone. His sidekick was the young and powerful…Tim. The Black Terror and Tim punched their way through gun-wielding gangsters and axis sympathizers, and, like many of his costumed brethren, didn't last into the 1950s. But his striking skull-and-crossbones costume lodged in readers' minds long after the character's demise, and he has been revived in various forms over the past two decades, most notably in a painted series by Dan Brereton in the late 1980s and as a part of Alan Moore's "Tom Strong" menagerie a decade later.
Dynamite's "Black Terror" #1 doesn't live up to any of those previous revivals. It doesn't even live up to the promise of its handsome John Romita, Sr. variant cover.
The most obvious problem is the art, which is drawn by Mike Lilly, digitally inked (or so it seems to me) and then "painted" by Vinicius Andrade. It's ugly, muddy, and grim. It's not so different from the look of the "Project Superpowers" series itself, and I guess that's the point, but that series didn't look good either.
Then there's the dialogue, written by Jim Krueger. I've enjoyed other Krueger work in the past, but his recent work has seemed burdened by a ridiculous level of self-seriousness that verges on parody. Everything about "Black Terror" #1 screams parody, actually, except that it keeps reminding us that it's oh so serious by having such grim artwork and pained facial expressions. But the dialogue! Here's a sample: "One thing I learned in the war," says the Black Terror. "There's even a silver lining to being attacked by an army…it takes a while before you run out of enemies." What an astute observation! Or how about this back-and-forth:
"The president has Tim, Jet," says the Black Terror.
Jet replies, "Do you know for sure?"
And imagine that dialogue being spoken by the most straight-faced, tight-lipped superheroes ever, as if they are speaking profound life lessons.
The issue is full of stuff like that, and the "cliffhanger" at the end is laughable in its mock-seriousness and faux-gritty determination.
"Black Terror" #1 is what happens when you take a silly public domain character and try to make him as "cool" as possible. But just because you yell, "this is serious!" over and over, that doesn't make it so. And it definitely doesn't make it any good.

SACRAMENTO -- Because two men have just been charged, there will be little or no public movement for at least six months in the case accusing those two and 10 others of plotting the violent overthrow of the communist government in Laos.
In a new indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Sacramento on Sept. 17, brothers Jerry Yang, 58, and Thomas Yang, 47, both of Stockton, were named as conspirators along with the 10 who were indicted two years and four months ago.
All 12 defendants have pleaded not guilty to the new indictment.
Attorneys Bruce Locke and Peter Kmeto, for Jerry Yang and Thomas Yang, respectively, told U.S. District Judge Frank C. Damrell Jr. that they needed at least six months to sort through the 85,000 documents and hundreds of hours of audio and video recordings of surreptitiously taped conversations that have already been turned over by prosecutors to the defense. There will be other evidence specific to the Yangs that will be added to the pile.
Lead prosecutor S. Robert Tice-Raskin asked Damrell to set another court date three months out, but the judge set a status conference for March 15, saying he hoped that will give defense lawyers plenty of time to complete their review of the government's evidence so the pace can pick up.

Pentecost: What's it to you?
Last Sunday many Christians celebrated Pentecost, often referred to as "the birthday of the Church." But long before there was a church, Jewish people were celebrating Pentecost, calling it by its original Hebrew names—including Hag ha Shavuot (the Feast of Weeks) and Hag ha Bikkurim (the Feast of First Fruits). Because the Jewish calendar is a lunar calendar, this year Pentecost Sunday occurred a little over a month before the actual Jewish holiday.
But going back to that Pentecost that we read about in the book of Acts, God's amazing timing had Jesus' disciples receiving the promised power of the Holy Spirit just as Jewish people from around the world were gathered in Jerusalem for the feast. That's why the Holy Spirit empowered the disciples to speak all those different languages . . . so the Jewish pilgrims could hear about Yeshua (Jesus) in words that made sense to them.
If you would like to know more about the Jewish Roots of Pentecost, our book, Christ in the Feast of Pentecost will take you deep into the origins of this rich holiday, as well as its fulfillment in and through Messiah Jesus.
Meanwhile here's something short and sweet to help you enjoy the first fruit aspect of the season:
The First Fruits principles reminds us of three keys to spiritual health:
- We are utterly dependent upon God
The call to give God first fruits reminds us that everything belongs to God; without Him there would be no harvest. It's when we somehow trick ourselves (or allow ourselves to be tricked) into thinking that we don't need God that we begin doing weird things to try to control our circumstances.
- Gratitude to God not only keeps us joyful, it's the best preventive to many spiritual maladies.
Giving first fruits is meant to be an expression of gratitude as well as dependence. God does not need our gratitude (though He seems to enjoy it) but we have a need to be grateful—gratitude crowds out pride, anger, stinginess and many other things that attack our peace and the peace of those around us.
- God deserves our trust . . . and we do so much better off when we acknowledge that.
We can afford to give God first fruits because He promises more to come. This is true, not only of our finances, but of our time and our affections. When we love God first, and make Him the first to receive back from the abundance He supplies something great happens. He multiplies that love—as well as whatever resources we need to express that love—to others. That's why it's important to give firstfruits from our hearts, not as a legalistic duty to cross off a checklist. Try bringing that first fruits principle into your morning devotional time if you haven't already. You might find that giving more love and more time to Him in the morning gives you more of everything you need for the rest of the day!

As you all know, we at Cradled in Joy Birth Services are passionate about breastfeeding. It's great for mom, great for baby, and great for the planet.
But it's not always easy. Especially if you have to go back to work.
Luckily, there's a book for that. Nancy Mohrbacher, the author of Breastfeeding Made Simple, has done it again with a book that focuses on mothers who may be spending a lot of time pumping in the near future. I love her first book because it takes all the guesswork and silliness out of breastfeeding, and breaks it down to the natural essentials, so I was so looking forward to reading this new book. (I should also add that Breastfeeding Made Simple is one of my required texts for my Lamaze classes–it really is that good.)
Thankfully, Nancy was kind enough to send me a copy of Working and Breastfeeding Made Simple to review. Let's just say that it will now be required reading for all my Lamaze mamas who plan to return to work.
I've been lucky enough to work from home most of the time, but many moms aren't. I think some of the biggest questions plaguing new working mothers are:
Will I make enough milk?
How do I pump?
How do I bring this up with my employer?
Will my day care provider support me?
These are some heavy questions, and all of them and more are answered in detail in Working and Breastfeeding Made Simple.
The good:
One of the things I love about Ms. Mohrbacher's approach is that she uses plain language, and she repeats it over and over so you remember the basics. She simplifies the process to a few key ideas, and then expands upon them to make the complicated process of pumping boil down to those major concepts. I have friends with jobs that don't allow pumping breaks, and I always thought that breastfeeding was a hopeless proposition for them, but with Ms Mohrbacher's explanation of milk removals and various pumping schedules, I learned how a mother can truly keep her supply up if that is what is important to her.
She is also flexible, and doesn't take an all-or-nothing approach. I can't tell you how many friends have approached me, tentatively telling me they had to supplement because they couldn't pump enough at work, and then defending their reasoning. No mom should have to do this–as Ms. Mohrbacher says, any amount of breastmilk you can feed your baby is still beneficial. The book outlines several scenarios for pumping full time, part-time or sporadically, and even offers weaning advice for when you don't want to pump any more. Many other pumping books I have read do not take this approach, which I feel is in ignorance of the realities of navigating breastfeeding and the modern workplace. (I'll save my rant about our cultural norms for working mothers for another post, yeah?)
I also ADORE the section on how to use a pump. So many books assume you will figure it out. Well, guess what??? I first used a pump when my eldest was born and couldn't latch, and you know what? I couldn't figure it out! I had no idea how to make the milk come out, or that letdown would take a while, and there I sat, engorged, with a pump that I thought didn't work. This book not only shows you how to properly fit yourself to a pump, but also how pumps work. Hooray!
And finally, the appendix in the book has a wonderful handout for care providers. Care providers are used to feeding formula to babies, which is a whole different ballgame, and sometimes they feed breastfed babies in a way that doesn't preserve our liquid gold. This handout politely and efficiently provides the information care providers need to appropriately feed the baby and conserve your milk stash as much as possible.
My only critique of the book is that by the end of it, I felt it got repetitive. As someone who is well-versed in breastfeeding knowledge, I didn't need the repetition of basic concepts. However, if I were a first time mom heading into the workplace, I think it would be important to hear some of these things over and over, if only to boost my confidence, so perhaps there is a place for it. As a WAHM, I don't need all the different pumping schedules and plans featured in the book, so I skimmed over many of them. However, I love that the book has a plan for just about every single type of working situation.
If you can't tell, I am in love with this book. It is hard to limit my review to a readable length because I have SO MANY positive things to say about Working and Breastfeeding Made Simple. I feel like this book is detailed enough to give mothers a fighting chance at keeping supply up while working AND supportive enough to make moms feel like rockstars no matter how they choose to feed their babies.
PS, Nancy Mohrbacher has also released an excellent mobile app called Breastfeeding Solutions. It is absolutely essential for new moms and I highly recommend it!
I received a complimentary copy of Working and Breastfeeding Made Simple to review. I was not compensated in any other way for this post. The opinions here are my own!

Southampton Choral Society kicked off the Christmas season with a beautiful carol performance
Our Christmas trees were up; fairy lights turned on and mince pies on sale in the coffee shop. But we knew Central Hall needed a little extra something to really get in the festive spirit.
Then – with the melodic opening lines of 'Once in Royal David's City' by the impressive Southampton Choral Society – we found it.
The choir treated us to an outstanding night of classic Christmas carols accompanied by the Royal Marines Association Band. With over 130 trained singers paired with the brass and wind concert musicians, the stunning sounds created an instantly festive atmosphere.
Southampton Choral Society has been performing at Central Hall for over three years. Formerly Southampton Choral Union, the group was formed in 1943 with a collaboration of free local church choirs. Over the years, they attracted leading soloists and increasingly large numbers of members – accumulating to the impressive collection of talent they boast today.
The choir aims to make singing fun and enjoyable, using their skills to perform at community-focused events such as Remembrance Services and Titanic memorial ceremonies.
With a similar passion for community events, the Royal Marines Association Concert Band was formed in April 2006. Performing two public concerts a month, they're the nation's most sought-after military band and have accompanied a range of outstanding choir groups.
Our Main Hall was packed with an audience who were as moved by the beautiful Christmas classics as we were. Festive hot drinks from our coffee shop also added a touch of seasonal warmth.
The event was the perfect way to start our Christmas season at Central Hall. We had a great time hosting Southampton Choral Society and the Royal Marines Association Concert Band and we hope to welcome them back next year.
Are you part of a choir or band? Find out more about hiring Central Hall for your performances.

On Sunday night's (Jan. 26) episode of "Girls," Hannah Horvath referred to Jezebel as a "place feminists can go to support one another, which we need in this modern world full of slut-shaming," issuing a collective gasp from all who had been following the Jezebel/Vogue controversy.
Although the episode was written and shot months ago -- and show creator Lena Dunham tweeted that the reference was DEFINITELY sarcastic -- the site doesn't hate her description.
On Monday (Jan. 28), Jezebel's Tracie Egan Morrissey wrote:
I think Hannah's description of Jezebel, sarcastic or not, falls in line with how a lot of people view this site -- which is probably why they get so pissed off when they eventually realize that Jezebel is not a place of unconditional support of women just because they're feminists. Feminism itself isn't even like that. The movement has been rife with infighting and debate about its direction since its inception. Dissent is important because it's what helps keep a movement from becoming static.
In case you missed it, earlier this month Jezebel offered $10,000 for un-retouched photos from Dunham's Vogue shoot. They got their (very expensive) wish, and the site published the photos shortly afterward.
Unfortunately for Jezebel, Dunham didn't have the most positive reaction to their Vogue takedown.
Some shit is just too ridiculous to engage. Let's use our energy wisely, 2014.
— Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) January 17, 2014
So, will Jezebel be getting any more "Girls" shout-outs? Somehow we don't think so.
"Girls" airs on Sundays at 10 p.m. EST on HBO.
