People go to gym with different purpose. Maybe you want to be healthy, to get fit, to lose weight, or to gain weight, it is all alright as long as you stick it up. But when you want to stop, want to quit working out, the workout music is coming to play its role, to cheer you up, to give you strength, and to bring the beat back. Here we recommend some songs for workout and listening in the Gym just for the right people to appreciate them.
01. Download Big Sean I Decided – An Album of Instrumental Workout Songs
With a Billboard 200 NO.1 debut, this album from Big Sean is not only suitable for booming nigh-club acoustics systems, but also finger-topping for the treadmills and one of the best Karaoke songs. Led by two singles songs "Bounce Back" and "Moves" released in 2016, this album including 14 inspiring tracks are even better than the other workout music according to Big Sean himself, "Get back in the game after something bad happens to you."

At a recent conference hosted by newspaper marketing body, Newsworks, Doug McCabe, CEO of media research firm Enders said the digital advertising industry has become divided. One half undervalues content and context; the other puts them on a pedestal.
On one side is the automated buying of vast audiences at speed and low cost. McCabe believes programmatic has "limitations of measurement [that] help push marketing towards a transaction tool and away from the strengths and advantages of media context that CMOs seek."
Since curators and aggregators are more efficient at driving traffic than premium content businesses, there is "an unintended disincentive" to invest in content sites.
He sees agencies expanding programmatic, believing them to be only experiencing teething problems.
The agencies' clients, his research tells him, feel more serious questions go unanswered. Is the environment appropriate? Does it devalue the ad? Who sees it (target, non-target, humans, robots)? "It's blind buying, which I don't like," said Matthew Holmes, media manager at William Hill, a betting and gaming company.
On the flip side is native advertising. It values content and context. McCabe explains: "Of course there is a contradiction here. Many brands are rapidly moving into or expanding their content commitments. Many agencies are acquiring and building content creation expertise. Every media business has developed or is considering its creative content function. The potency of media brands is evidently paramount."
McCabe says native is on the rise because people are much more aware of and responsive to advertising on content sites – "they drive more valuable behaviour." As evidence, he quotes research from the Association of Online Publishers (AOP).
On 4 March, the AOP held a native advertising forum. Jamie Toward, head of content at media agency MEC, and Francis Turner, MD of Adyoulike, a native advertising firm, gave their own reasons for native's growth.
Toward points to the rejection of interruption advertising on digital platforms. Turner says traditional ads on small mobile screens don't work as well as desktop ads, and this is accelerating the move to native.
Both agree that native prompts valuable behaviours in users. Toward says native greatly outperforms benchmarks for views, CTRs, dwell time, consideration and recommendation (negative Net Promoter Scores can be made positive).
Turner quotes an average dwell time of 2 minutes 20 seconds for native on mobile.
The AOP revealed their research:
- Teaser ads linking to native content from the home page of premium content websites are 31 percent more likely to be clicked on than traditional display.
- Native advertising widens the purchase funnel. At the "discovery stage" it widens by 33 percent (i.e. native is 33 percent more effective than traditional display), at the "trust stage" it widens it by 32 percent, at "word of mouth" by 29 percent and at "purchase" by 20 percent.
- Native in the context of premium content websites creates 32 percent more trust than traditional ads but the same native execution sitting in social media streams creates only 1 percent more trust than a traditional ad.
So, native thrives on content and context while programmatic overlooks it. And the two are about to collide.
Going programmatic with native
Adyoulike's Francis Turner predicts a 'collision' in 2015. It will be enabled by the ratification of the IAB's OpenRTB 2.3 [PDF] standards that incorporate guidelines for native creative within a real-time bidding (RTB) environment.
It accounts for metadata like headline, content URL, description text and images. In short, more native will soon flow through more exchanges.
Initially, Turner says, it will affect native video content (usually repurposed TV ads) and traffic driving elements. He believes the programmatic delivery of significant sponsored content onto publisher websites will occur closer to the year's end.
Toward acknowledged there would be a difference in quality between native created by publishers for their environments and that created for multiple sites at scale.
The latter will look and feel different – created for native advertising delivery units, not the publisher's page.
In fact, he'd like the industry to adopt new language to distinguish between pure and scalable forms of native.
A new frontier for advertising?
Tim Cain, managing director at the AOP explains: "In purist terms native must reflect the indigenous characteristics of the media brand to provide the right context for the consumer and in turn receive the most valued attention, otherwise it is really branded content and as such a scalable solution lends itself to programmatic delivery as any ad type."
CTRs will likely be lower for the scalable versions but, as they will be delivered at scale, there will be more clicks in total.
What of context and engagement measures? Toward says it is "hard to measure an idea or editorial quality" but "we find it easy to find countable things in delivery of content."
There has been talk of an "Attention Index" but he can't see the industry agreeing how to compile and weight it ("not a fight I want to have").
Instead he foresees "hybrid deals put in place with a more traditional horse trade around the creative – and the delivery bit dealt with programmatically."
MEC is placing its programmatic people "closer to the guys who know what a good [content] idea looks like."
If that becomes usual the primary metrics are certain to be the "countable things in delivery of content." Clients are after a single customer view, says Toward, requiring standard metrics for all advertising. Measures specifically designed for the strengths of native will be secondary.
What do publishers think?
Publishers won't be at ease with programmatically bought native content on their sites; it isn't environment specific, bought at a premium, created by their own new native departments or flatteringly measured.
Clare Chamberlain, head of brand and creative solutions at Bauer, warned of 'immunising' audiences against commercial messages. "Very high risk," she said, adding, "Can we get to a point where programmatic and native are not contradictions in terms? My take is, in principal, no."
Advertisers might also be wary of this next step for programmatic. Remember William Hill's Matthew Holmes calling it "blind buying"? When that quote was aired MEC's Toward said "I'm not sure what he's on about."
However, he had talked earlier about a "fog" making it increasingly difficult to see "who is serving the final step to the customer," causing advertisers to worry about brand protection and agencies to fret about auditors.
Remember also McCabe saying a divide has opened between agencies that see only teething problems and advertisers that see bigger hurdles.
There's hand holding to be done. Advertisers and publishers need to see the benefits more evidently.
They probably require appropriate metrics that value context as well as delivery. They won't be easy to establish but, without them, agencies might see more than just teething problems by year-end.

Abibiman Foundation press statement on occasion of International Youth Day
2013 International Youth Day
Theme: Youth Migration, Moving Development Forward
DATE: 12th August 2013
Young people make up a significant share of the global number of international migrants. In 2010, there were an estimated 27 million international young migrants aged 15-24 globally and form about 30% of international migrants! Yet very little is known about the livelihood struggles and opportunities that migration presents for young migrants and other youth who are affected by migration While migration can often offer valuable opportunities and contribute to the development of communities and society at large, it can also pose risks and lead to unacceptable situations, including discrimination and exploitation.
But for every opportunity that migration presents, there are also challenges that confront vulnerable and marginalised young migrants: discrimination, lack of access to basic social services, sexual and other health risks and lack of support networks.
To migrate is to make a life changing decision. Young people should have "the right to move", but they should also have "the right to not move". The rights of both should be protected and supported, particularly in the context of societies affected by climate change and conflict, where young people and children are particularly vulnerable.
The focus on youth migration this International Youth Day should cause decision makers to reflect on the kinds of policies and measures required to optimally manage migration and protect the vulnerable.
Well-managed migration supports development by empowering young people, bridging cultures, creating wealth and balancing inequities. Commitment to youth development and empowerment, will work collaboratively to examine the issue of migration and to champion the rights of vulnerable and marginalised migrant young people
Let us partner with young people, develop and implement strategies to ensure their perspectives are recognised in societies and advocate for investments in young people. The return on such investments is extremely high – for both social and economic development
Youth should remind political leaders of their promise and their responsibility to youth and the future generations, I am convinced that climate change will increasingly be a driver in worsening displacement crises in the world and We must work together to mobilize the political will and leadership to prevent and end the conflicts that trigger refugee flows and Climate Refugees
Abibimman Foundation, AYICC –Ghana, GCAP-Ghana and IDAY-Ghana, believe -Youth are recognized as one of the most mobile social groups in the context of migration. We need to raise awareness about the situation of these young people as well as the role of youth-led organizations in addressing migration issues

FRANKFURT, Germany (Bloomberg) -- Kurdish crude oil is poised to gain acceptance after the semi-autonomous region delivered a cargo and received a payment, according to Deutsche Bank AG.
"We expect trading houses to become increasingly comfortable handling Kurdistan Region of Iraq crude and steady-state exports to emerge," analysts led by Lucas Herrmann wrote in an emailed report dated today, June 30.
The Kurdistan Regional Government started to export crude to Turkey's Mediterranean port of Ceyhan through its own pipeline last month, without approval from Iraq's central government. Four tankers have so far loaded cargoes of Kurdish crude in Ceyhan, with one shipment sold, according to Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yildiz.
Turkey's Turkiye Halk Bankasi AS, or Halkbank, received $93 million for a shipment, Yildiz said on June 23. The destination of the crude isn't of interest to Turkey, the minister said.
"Despite regional conflict and the threat of legal action from Baghdad, significant milestones have been achieved," Hermann said.
Iraq's government has warned that it will prosecute any buyers of the Kurdish oil and sought arbitration at the International Chamber of Commerce. The Kurdistan Regional Government says it's abiding by the Iraqi constitution.
The Kurdistan Regional Government controls 45 billion barrels of oil reserves, according to its estimates.

Grim has been a regular in the Muck Club for a long time now, and has been persuaded to come out of the old DJs home to bring us all his mucky brand of old skool house. He hails from Brighton, but not many people know that he was actually hatched from an egg on a mountaintop a very, very long time ago. Grim readily admits that he puts the old in old skool, but with his age comes a wisdom that makes him a very fine DJ indeed.
Grim first heard house music in 1987 and has been hooked ever since. He started DJing in 1991, and by the following year was playing parties, clubs and bars in and around Brighton on a regular basis. He retired from DJing in 1995, but like an Icelandic volcano has been lying dormant- until now, spewing his mucky house and old skool anthems all over the Muck FM airwaves. The only ash you will find here though is from that big reefer he's been puffing on in his wig-wam. You see Grim is Muck's resident hippy. A peace lover and a perfect gentleman, he is the perfect addition to the DJ crew.
This page is dedicated to our good friend, and Muck FM DJ Grim, who sadly passed away in April. He was a true gentleman, a fantastic DJ, and a lovely all round guy with a fantastic sense of humour. Our condolences go out to his family and we are all thinking of him here at Muck FM.

Moving from Houston to Atlanta, a family takes their Barbara Hill vibe with them, along with the furniture, and re-creates the feeling in their new home.
Old house

New house
Here's the goods inside
Lindsey Adelman and Eames and Decorator White
Marcel Wanders chandelier, Venus chairs

Customized orange lighting by Rich Brilliant Willing in a so fab kitchen. My most favorite kitchen I've seen in a while.
I like the incarnation of all the cool bits in the 1920s Mediterranean-style mansion better than in the modern Houston home. I think they all read much more interesting. And Camp Bosworth, Rich Brilliant Willing, and e15 are all new to me and I want some. Like this

Here's the full text:Good evening. Tonight, I'd like to update the American people on the international effort that we have led in Libya - what we have done, what we plan to do, and why this matters to us.I want to begin by paying tribute to our men and women in uniform who, once again, have acted with courage, professionalism and patriotism. They have moved with incredible speed and strength. Because of them and our dedicated diplomats, a coalition has been forged and countless lives have been saved. Meanwhile, as we speak, our troops are supporting our ally Japan, leaving Iraq to its people, stopping the Taliban's momentum in Afghanistan, and going after al Qaeda around the globe.

EPAG NG is built on a 50 year history of aviation training and know-how.
It all began with Jean Mermoz recruiting André Ramondo to become an Air France pilot. In 1957 André created the Jean Mermoz aeronautical institute followed by the Institut Aéronautique Amaury de la Grange (IAAG) with Didier Daurat and Louis Notteghem in 1962.
The early 80s saw the creation of the EPAG following an agreement between the IAAG and the directors of UTA, Air Inter and Air France.
The flying school built its reputation training to the standards required by major airlines. This was achieved by constantly working closely with them on the procedures, methods and training programs. This know-how on an international level did not come about by chance as our competitors know too well. Due to the economic crisis and the subsequent lack of recruitment within Air France, the EPAG began to work with Chinese student pilots from their Asian partners.
Today, the creators of the new EPAG NG company are focused on reconciling innovation, economic realism, historical know-how and training expertise. Their aim is to offer the best and most cost-effective training service.
Heritage and modernity. The historical legacy continues.

Project Highlight: Quicklee's
"We are proud to introduce Quicklee's Travel Center to the community," said Ken Perelli, vice president of Quicklee's. "It has been a pleasure working with the local community and the Livingston County Economic Development Center. Without these partnerships we would not have achieved this level of success so quickly."
About the Company: Quicklee's is a local and family-owned convenience store chain with locations throughout Monroe and Livingston counties. They currently operate 14 locations.
About the project: After removal of the original facility and nine months of construction, Quicklee's recently re-opened as a 24-hour facility, serving both passenger and commercial vehicles at their Lakeville Road location in Avon, NY. The new state-of-the-art travel center, just off of Interstate 390 south, is open 24 hours a day. In addition to a fully stocked convenience store, it offers a car wash, Dunkin' Donuts and Calabresella New York Style Deli, along with a truck stop equipped with a diesel mechanic shop, overnight parking, showers and laundry facilities. The Livingston County IDA provided assistance in the form of a payment in lieu of tax agreement and sales tax exemption.

Provenance: ex Moustaki collection, sold by C. Ede and Artemis Gallery.
A published parallel for the shabti of this lady can be found in
G. Janes nr. 66. That example has been broken of at the feet and the Russian Kaunas musuem example mentioned in G. Janes's book too. This one is complete and shows the entire text. However the name remains a bit unclear. It looks like after Shed (the Shed glyph with the hand as sound enhancer), only MaA-Chrw follows.
Two other Ta-Shed (unpublished) shabtis are known to me as well.
Unfortunately, nothing is known about the ancient owner.

Paul had lost his precious heirloom pocket watch... the family treasure his father gave him; the one his dad got from his father; the one that would go to his son someday... now lost.
Paul had been working all day in the barn, sweaty and tired when he reached in his pocket in hopes suppertime was near.
BUT IT WAS GONE! He quickly searched all his other pockets. His watch was gone, lost somewhere in the barn, sometime during the day.
The whole family was called to the search. They scrambled, they raised dust, they searched and shouted back and forth. "Where do you THINK you may have lost it?" they asked.
"If you THINK I know that, wouldn't you THINK I would be looking there?" he hollered back in sarcastic desperation.
Anxious panic was the order of the search as everything that wasn't attached was moved, turned over or rolled away in hopes the watch was waiting there. Pitchforks cautiously turned over every shock of hay. Animals were moved here, then there, to great discord. Hens' nests were examined but only turned up eggs.
After what seemed like hours, mom called a stop. "Let's quit for the day. It's past suppertime and we are all dirty, tired, frustrated and hungry. We'll look again tomorrow."
At the table, Paul moaned, "It's gone. I know it is."
"Now Paul, it's somewhere. We'll find it," mom promised in a hopeful tone. "Where is Mary?"
The screen door banged shut and Paul turned to admonish his 5-year-old daughter.
"Mary, how many times have I told you not to slam... " But Paul stopped short.
With a big smile on her face, Mary was dangling the precious watch on its chain.
Everyone rose and cheered. "But where," Paul asked, "and how did you find it?"
"After everyone left," Mary explained, "the dust settled and the animals quieted, I sat on that hay bale in the center of the barn and listened real hard. Then I heard a tiny tick-tocking near the chicken feed. You know that space beside the post... the one that drops into that split in the floor? That's where it was hiding."
Mary listened, because she could. She just listened.
Don't you sometimes wonder what we might learn if we just listened more instead of thinking about what we are going to say when it is our turn to talk? We might actually remember the name of the person we were just introduced to.
In today's world, everyone talks all the time. Social media demands it and we all have something vitally important to say it seems. We are bombarded by commercials telling us things we choose to tune out. Ordinary conversations carry on with one response overlapping the other. Politicians incite us with no chance to respond other than "Well that's for sure," or "Gimmie a break!" Forced listening creates a habit of accepting coercion without thought.
Where is the intelligence in all of that? Well programed robots are ruling the world... and we are becoming them.
I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully.
Most people never listen.

One advantage in talking to yourself is that you know
at least somebody's listening.

Cincinnati and the Cayman Islands are in. The Ohio cites of Dayton and Akron-Canton are out.
The carrier routinely adds and drops routes during its seasonal updates. But the latest schedule release features an unusual amount of activity; More than two dozen nonstop routes will begin with the 2017 summer schedule in June, according to information from Southwest.
The highest-profile changes come with the destinations that will join Southwest's route map, and with the ones that will fall off.
Southwest will begin flying from Cincinnati and from Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islandson June 4.
Southwest will connect Cincinnati to its bases at Baltimore/Washington and Chicago Midway. Southwest's Grand Cayman service will operate to its base in Fort Lauderdale, pending regulatory approval for that international route.
Cincinnati had long been the biggest metro area that Southwest did not serve, and the airline's new service was warmly embraced by officials there. The Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) was once one of America's busiest airports, buoyed by bustling hub for Delta Air Lines. Delta still operates a hub there, but it has sharply reduced its presence – eliminating hundreds of flights and dozens of nonstop routes that it used to fly from Cincinnati — since its merger with Northwest last decade.
This above article is a summary. Please see the source article at Google News.

Enrollment: Academics carry the most weight in your requirements. As a student, you must be enrolled full- time as defined by the university. Your enrollment status will be assessed by the program by the last day of drop/add. Students who fail to enroll full-time will forfeit their scholarship for the next academic semester.
Academics: All RSU music scholarship students must maintain a 2.5 cumulative GPA for all coursework. Student grades will be checked periodically during the semester (students will sign a separate FERPA waiver to grant permission to view grades). Students who are struggling academically will be directed towards the proper assistance. Academic study in music (enrollment in non- ensemble music classes, music minor) is not required but is highly encouraged.
Academic Probation: Students with a GPA between 2.0 and 2.5 GPA will be on probation for one semester. During that semester, students will retain their financial award. However, if at the end of the probation semester the students' GPA has not increased above 2.5 the student will become ineligible to receive a scholarship for the next Academic Year.
Ensembles: Students are required to participate in an ensemble each semester. Students may participate in a combination of band and choir to satisfy their scholarship. Students who do not participate in an ensemble each semester will lose their scholarship and become ineligible to gain a scholarship for the following Academic Year.
- Jazz Ensemble (0 or 1 credit hour per semester)
- Concert Choir (0 or 1 credit hour per semester)
- Concert Band (0 or 1 credit hour per semester)
Performance Grant Stipends: Beginning this year Performance Grant Stipends are available to students interested in participating in Pep Band in addition to another ensemble. Qualifying students receive awards based upon the number of Pep Band basketball performances they participate in. This scholarship is NOT a tuition waiver and is not limited to the tuition charged each semester, but can be added to all other scholarships a student might receive. All other scholarship guidelines listed above apply.
Participation: Students are expected to be model ensemble members. A part of this requirement entails participation. Exact participation requirements will be dispersed at the beginning of each ensemble. Students who do not follow the participation guidelines will lose their scholarship and be ineligible to audition for the next Academic Year.
Practice Policy: Music scholarship recipients are expected to be musical leaders of the ensembles. Students will be expected to practice and prepare their music to the fullest outside of regular meeting times. Students are always welcome to solicit musical assistance from the director. The amount of preparation and time students put into their practice will be a consideration when re- applying for a scholarship. Students may have their award lowered or cancelled based on poor musical development.
Work Policy: We understand many of you have to gain outside employment in order to supplement your income as a student. Your work schedule may not interfere with your schedule with the ensembles. Each student will receive a schedule of events at the beginning of the semester. Work is never an excuse to miss an event. It will be a factor in the re-awarding of scholarships if a student has any absences pertaining to work.
Re-application: Students will be required to re-apply each Spring in order to retain their scholarship. The performance of the prior year will be a factor in deliberations for the coming year's award. Students may keep their same award, get a higher award, or lose their award completely at the end of each year. Scholarship auditions will be in late March or early April of each school year. Look for information posted on the Music Program web page for each year's dates.

Kayube River House and Bungalows is located in Livingstone, on the banks of the Zambezi River, opposite the Zambezi National Park found in Zimbabwe.
The Bungalows is only 20 kilometres upstream from The Victoria Falls and just 25 kilometres from Livingstone City centre.
The property is built from recycled materials. It offers self-catering chalet air-conditioned accommodation, and being tucked away under huge riverine trees, it is completely private. Each chalet has a spacious veranda, a well-equipped kitchen, stove, oven and refrigerator. The bathrooms are fitted with a shower.
In fact, the Kayube River House and Bungalows and the Mama Out of Africa are together part of the Kayube Estate.
The Kayube River House And bungalows have stunning views of the Zambezi. You will have the unforgettable experience of seeing from time to time herds of Elephants drinking across the river and during the night, hyena, zebra, lion and hippos are often heard.
Other services and facilities offered are:
Guests are happy with Kayube River House And Bungalows. Check some of their reviews…
"A Zambezi Gem!"
"So peaceful sitting on the porch or bench, watching the Zambezi River moving slowly along, with the sounds of hippos and little else. I went in January, and mosquitoes were not a problem at all, as the river keeps the area cool and breezy, so the air is fresh & rejuvenating. Joseph was a wonderful guide! He is from the area, very knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure my stay was wonderful. It was convenient that Kayube handled all transportation & trips for me in one place, I felt much taken care of traveling alone. I enjoyed cooking, as we stopped in town for groceries, and the estate has several basic items like salt & pepper, butter, oil, eggs as well. Definitely checkout some of the quality crafts shops, especially the stalls near the Falls, I got many beautiful pieces to take home at reasonable but fair prices. The falls are amazing of course, and the African Queen cruise was relaxing, and we saw tons of awesome hippos and baboons. My spirit was truly invigorated by my restful stay at Kayube, and I left feeling relaxed, and that peaceful feeling came back home with me as well.!"
"Holiday of a lifetime."
"Kayube Estate is around 40 minutes away from the Falls by car - quite a drive, but worth it for the tranquility and setting on the banks of the Zambezi. The hostess, Karien, was fabulous, booking any excursions we wanted to do, letting us use her jeep for a very reasonable fee to get around. We had unfortunately booked to fly to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe rather than Livingstone, Zambia, which would have been easier, but still the airport transfer worked well, though it did require swapping cars and lots of border controls. The bungalow itself does not have wifi - you have to go to reception, but that made the holiday even more special - a true family holiday with no distractions. The pool is great. As is the garden, with loads of space for football, hide and seek etc. etc. Kitchen is very well equipped, and our airport transfer driver, Joseph, stopped off at the supermarket on the way, so we could stock up. Kayube Estate even has their own boat, so we could enjoy our own private sun downer cruise along the Zambezi, which was a real highlight, and far more reasonably priced than the ones from the Falls! The staff were all great, and the house was kept spick and span (even the washing up done) more than once a day, which made it a much more relaxing self-catered holiday. From our terrace we saw crocodiles and hippos, and sunsets and sunrises which were second to none."
"Absolute value for money."
"The best location, comfortable and clean place to stay."
"The place is part of heaven. Definitely recommend. A quiet stay in bank of Zambezi River with beautiful sounds of birds and hippos in early morning is waiting for you. The property has been taken care of properly. Thanks to the tram of motivated staff. The kitchen was very well equipped so you can feel at home."
"I recommend and have been recommending this place to friends, co-workers and family."
"We are living temporarily in South Africa as US Expats and have been looking for something special, and boy, we got it. Customer service was the best I have seen including the best hotels anywhere in the US and Europe. When we needed groceries, they brought what we wanted and quickly. And nothing beats barbequing while watching Hippos and Crocs only 60 feet away! Activities? Yes, they organized river safaris, canoe trips, quad bikes, a dinner cruise and they were great value for money. My wife and I are very picky about cleanliness but wow, we were impressed. Not only the house was clean and well kept, the whole Estate was well kept and maintained. What you see in the pictures about Kayube do not do justice to what you will actually see."
"Amazing experience. Will come back again if we have chance!"
"I would advise this place for family or honeymooners. This place keeps in your mind forever."
"Perfect, clean, relaxing, friendly & with a fantastic view!"
"Absolutely paradise."
"Our chalet was right by the river and we woke up to animals drinking water on the other side of the river. It was absolutely amazing. The staff were always on hand and the manager was very helpful through our stay."

Webb Slinger
Enter Webb; after just a little more than a month in the program and he's the man.
The optimists will point to his 19 college starts, while the skeptics will point to the four wins among those starts. The optimists will point out that former KU coach Tuner Gill was over his head, while the skeptics will new KU coach Charlie Weis wanted to eat Webb.
Whatever is going on in Boulder, it is still too early in the Embree Era to over analyze this decision. Webb could simply be a caretaker until some recruited QBs are ready to take the spot. Or Webb could be the next dude in the trend of "rent-a-former player" (ala Russell Wilson) that seems to be the way for some teams. With a schedule a step down from last year's, this move might prove to make the most sense, regardless of Weis' appetite.
(After all, the Buffs haven't had a recruited high school QB be an effective starter since Koy Detmer. Think about that, no big time QB in Boulder since 1995? Ouch.)

It looks thinner than the cyclops and kraken.

Please keep me updated bro. I'm curious to see the size comparison with the aegis and "naked" DX so if you can take pic, even better!
Sent from my DROIDX using DroidForums
got the aegus and kraken today. don't like the aegus at all, just doesn't fit well. the kraken is awesome, though. i know you're interested in the aegus, so the long and short of it is that i just couldnt get it to fit properly. it's a different design in the fact that the soft rubber fits against the phone and a hard plastic insert goes over that. sounded good but it just lends itself to fit issues when placing the hard plastic over the soft. it didnt add as much bulk to the phone as the kraken but the kraken is just a much more solid fit and design. sorry, i personally dont recommend the aegus.

Damn, I was thinking about getting that case even though it doesn't have a builtin screen protector (I like them more than stick-on). So, I may be picking up the Seido Surface case instead.
Love my defender
Love the casemate.....its legitimate
I went ahead and ordered the Seidio Surface and the Trident Aegis yesterday...got a great deal on both. They will be here in a few days, and I will see which I prefer.
I really like my Defender case, but hate the silicone always peeling off when I put the phone in my pocket.
I got my Trident in today. It is a decent case. I renewed my hatred of stick-on screen protectors though.
The case is a bit thinner than my previous Otterbox Defender. It has a nice feel to it, and the hard sell backing allows the phone/case to smoothly slide in/out of my pocket. The smooth backing does allow the phone to slide on other surfaces though.
The silicone is smooth and stiffer than the Defender silicone. It is more of a rubber texture. The phone is definitely lighter and feels great. If I could get the last two bubbles out of the screen I would be ecstatic.
All in all, a great case. It seems to offer more than adequate protection, yet is lightweight. All ports are covered but still easily accessible. The physical buttons are uncovered, so dust could get in and around them.
No pics, as my DX is my only camera.
I gave up looking for the perfect case............LOL
I have the Kraken, Cyclops, Defender, and Incipio......and I already got rid of the Commuter.
Kraken was way too big, Incipio is great in the pocket, and Cyclops and Defender are almost identical with the Cyclops offering better dust protection.
Right now I'm rocking the black/black Cyclops.........who knows what's waiting in the wings next.
Do you know if the Cyclops can handle the Motorola extended battery (bh6x), especially if you leave the battery door off?
The Motorola extended battery from verizon fits in the Aegis case even using the extended battery cover. So I would *assume* that it fits the Cyclops, but hopefully someone with the case can let you know.

From Friday, the 22nd, to Friday, the 29th, I saw Star Wars: The Last Jedi three times. This is quite a feat for me, as this movie makes up about 1/5th of my theater-going, and I've never gone to see anything more than once. But this movie was worth each visit. I won't get into the plot of the movie (or spoil anything for you late-comers), and I won't defend it. If you're under the impression that this is a disgrace to the canon, then (for one, you're absolutely wrong, it's the best movie so far, and for two,) just read this article.
One major theme of this movie is bringing nuance to the dark-side/light-side plot point that has driven the conflict of the Star Wars universe. This is not to say that the concepts of good and evil are cast out; only to communicate that the establishments of these parties are, perhaps, equally corrupted. And this describes my feeling towards our governmental system today. If you ask me about my views, you'll find they align quite nicely with what would traditionally be called "Republican values."
I believe in life, no regards to gender, sexual orientation, skin color, eye color, or current status of growth. No one has the right to take life from an innocent person. There are arguments to be had about how far this should extend, but this, as a basic idea, is what I believe.
I believe in liberty, that everyone should be able to say anything they like, whenever they like. If they spur on violent action, then they should be tried in court. But people get to say whatever they want, and no one gets to shut them up simply because it is controversial. Everyone also has a right to a gun, if their mind is intact and they're a legal adult. Ultimately, I believe, this will prevent more crime than it creates. These two things are what protect the ability to tear down our government if that must be done, and those are the two things that, if kept, ensure that this territory is still called "The United States of America" in 100 years, even if we undergo a necessary revolution.
Despite this slight resemblance with Republicanism, I do not identify with either party. Now more than ever, we, the people, see clearly the corruption of our governmental system. Politicians, who, perhaps, once cared about the 321 million citizens who make up this great country, spend so much time and money ascending to the top, that by the time they reach any position of power, they are rotten to the bone with corruption. They play with us like pawns. Very few of them truly care about the issues facing us, they only care about the next voting cycle, which is why so little is accomplished. If you don't believe me, just scroll through this riveting Wikipedia page. Democrats and Republicans alike enjoy pandering to the poor, but once they are elected, they can't be bothered. Hillary Clinton rose to become the nominee of the Democratic Party by pushing out a shriveled-up socialist (who bears much resemblance in facial features to Yoda, by the way, if we're keeping this article about Star Wars) who would have easily beaten her out in a fair election process. Don't believe me? Just ask Donna Brazile–she's selling a book about it! (Oh and guess what! She's going to make money off of it. What a surprise.) Not to mention the sexual scandals of our creep-infested Washington, from Bill Clinton to Al Franken and yes, many Republicans as well.
So what are we to do with it? We must harness our liberty, and speak out. So many before have tried to do this, but the trouble comes when we choose a side to speak out against. It's all rancid, and it must all burn (illustratively and metaphorically, of course, FBI…), and there exists no room for bias when the flames of liberty are let loose.
Don't buy into the pandering, the hopeful lies, the manipulation, the dogma (of either side). Keep hold of that which you value, and fight until this country manifests it. This is how our country thrived, and this is how it will thrive, for decades to come. May the force be with you.

Never knew that that other tricks were done on the double kink handrail than Pat's FS 50/50 and Danny Way's boardslide. Always thougt that the Lipslide attempts that were in the slam section were pretty crazy, especially for the time. Does anyone know if that rail is still skateable?

Pat killed it regardless. If anybody tried now it would not mean as much. He is an artist like the Gonz. Im new school to you guys but I saw Questionable for the first time in 2004 and I am still blown away. I bet with my heart Cardiel fed off of Duffy.

I saw Duffy and Sal Barbier annihilate the tall, steep vert wall at Shady Skates in the 90s. Dude flew up into a backside tail on the top of the thing and Sal busted a rock shuffle to fakie! Plan B and Think were probably the gnarliest demos I ever saw there, but I heard Toy Machine killed it too.

Easily one of my favourite skaters. I remember seeing Plan B's "Questionable" at a friend's house and I was well and truly blown away! It was all we could talk about for months after, and of course, hugely influential at that time. I think his "Virtual Reality" part is equally amazing, years ahead of his time.

I'd like to read a story about these two.
Cleopatra, from an ancient civilisation and a family that rules an even more ancient civilisation, in 250 years the first to really put her roots down and speak the language.
Caesar, bringing about the end of the republic, the expansionist warmonger of the upstart empire.
They fall in love. Love and politics. She has a son with him to cement the throne. For Caesar this is possibly his only son.
Caesar is assassinated in the death spasm of old Rome. Cleopatra falls in love with his right hand man.
Caesar's adopted son - after a second war that engulfs the Mediterranean, the first being Caesar's civil war - succeeds him: Augustus.
Cleopatra's son, Caesarion, succeeds her.
Then the upstart empire takes the most ancient one, and Augustus kills Caesarian.
Did they meet? Caesarion escaped for a time and was lured back. Did they have a final conversation? That must have been something.
Two sons, two brothers. One by blood, one anointed; one with history on his side, the other with the future. Augustus was the founder of the Roman Empire, which would last 400 years.
Another story says that Caesarion escaped.

Jim Finks and his Pals watched the Saints win the Super Bowl
NFC Championship Game, January 18, 2009
Seconds were ticking away at the end of regulation, and Brett Favre went to the sideline to ask Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress, "What shall we do?" Childress says "I don't know. Let's ask God."
So they quickly pray and a voice comes back: "Put twelve men in the huddle." Favre runs back on the field with 12 men and gets penalized for illegal substitution.
Favre again runs over to the sideline and says, "So what do we do now?" Again Childress looks to the heavens and asks, "God, what shall I do?" The voice comes back, "Tell Brett to throw that little pass across his body back to the wide side of the field right before he goes out of bounds."
So he does and the ball is intercepted. Now it is overtime, and right before the coin toss, Favre asks Childress, "Should I call Heads or Tails?" Childress again asks for divine help and again the voice comes back, "Call Heads." They lose the toss the Saints score and win a trip to the Super Bowl.
As Favre and Childress are walking to the bus, they decide to ask God about his ill-fated recommendations. God tells them, "Hold on. Hey, Finks, why did we tell them to put 12 in the huddle, throw the pass and call heads?"
While Who Dat Nation is relishing its current willing suspension of disbelief, that story has as much substance
as any of the other miracles we've experienced during this most wonderful of all Saints' seasons.
But some of us who were fortunate enough to have worked with him know that the most believable notion is
the conviction that Jim Finks, the man who brought respectability to the New Orleans Saints franchise, is still up
there pulling strings.
In fact, it is easy to believe that the most significant Super Bowl party held on Sunday was not in Washington,
D.C., or New Orleans or Miami but on a far higher plane.
While watching the game with my family, I imagined Finks, holding his trademark vodka on the rocks, a
"see through" in Finkspeak, welcoming a host of old friends to his own special Super Bowl party, held in a very
exclusive box suite somewhere far north of Sun Life Stadium.
The first guests to arrive were Pete Rozelle and his long-time broadcast coordinator, Val Pinchbeck. Steve
Stonebreaker showed up with Dave Whitsell, and Joe Wendryhoski came in carrying a case of beer and a bag of
Polish sausages and buns. Former Coaches Tom Fears and Dick Nolan arrived next, followed by Frank Warren,
Sam Mills and Dave Waymer of another era.
Another couple arrived and all heads turned, but Finks recognized them immediately.
"You know, Hap, although it doesn't exactly fit him, that black and gold beaded evening gown certainly befits
Buddy D, don't you think?" Finks said of Hap Glaudi's resplendent date.
"I t'ink da fleur-de-lis ear rings wuz a little over da top," Hap said, as Buddy D posed for pictures.
Almost all the invited guests had arrived when a gleaming white limousine pulled up out front, its angelic trumpets heralding the arrival of its passenger, former coach Hank Stram.
"Hey, somebody tip the driver, will you?" Stram said as he smoothed his saintly new hairpiece into place. "God wants this buggy back by midnight!"
Finks greeted each one warmly and directed them to their reserved seats in this most exclusive of plush box suites. The conversation was warm and the divine libation generated blissful stories of days gone by as each drew on their own experiences.
Rozelle was pleased at the pre-game ceremony, especially the precision arrival of the four Florida Air National Guard F-15 Eagle fighter jets. Pinchbeck was more impressed by the fact that 50 Sony high-definition cameras would cover every angle of the National Football League's championship game.
"How many cameras did we have at the Colts and Jets game in Super Bowl III, Pete?" Pinchbeck asked. "Probably three?"
"I don't remember how many cameras we had, but I remember a 30-second commercial cost $55,000," Rozelle responded, taking another sip of his Rusty Nail. "At today's rate, that would get you six and a half seconds!"
The game began, and it became apparent that both quarterbacks would enjoy maximum protection from their offensive lines.
"Somebody's got to bust through there," former rush end Frank Warren pleaded, but former offensive guard Wendryhoski was defensive about his old position: "Hey, a good offensive line will always stop a good pass rush. There might not be a sack all day!"
The Colts went up 10-0, but nobody at the party seemed discouraged, especially the host.
"Just keep sawing wood, boys," Finks said. "Just keep sawing wood."
The Saints trailed at the half, and the former coaches and players debated what the Saints could do in the second half to take the lead and hold it. Rozelle and Pinchbeck remained in their seats to watch the halftime show.
"The Who is a nice touch," Rozelle said, "although I wish they'd still use the kids from 'Up With People'."
"Most of them have retired," Pinchbeck said. "Or are in the choir up here!"
Sean Payton's decision to open the second half with an onside kick surprised two coaches in the group. Dick Nolan shouted to Tom Fears: "Did you ever have the rocks to do that, Tom?"
"I had the rocks, but not the jocks," Fears shot back.
"Exactly what I would have done," Stram said confidently.
Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma made a play, which prompted Warren to give Mills a shot.
"Vilma almost looks like you out there, Mouse," Warren said to Mills. "Same number, but two feet taller!"
Mills smiled broadly, accustomed even now to remarks about his size.
"Jonathan's a player," Mills said, "but he knows what you do off the field is more important than what you do on it. He's getting involved with the Haitian relief effort, which makes me proud he is a credit to number 51."
The Saints offense picked up as they began to move the ball, almost at will, prompting Stram to chide his host.
"This is just like stealing! Just what we did to your Vikes in Superior Bowl Four, right Finksie?"
Finks took another sip of his see-through, and picked up the red phone on the cocktail table. He spoke a few words and then put down the receiver.
"Hey, Finks, while you're on the line order more kielbasa and beer," said Wendryhoski. "We're running low here."
The Saints took a 24-17 lead, but nobody was comfortable. All realized that the guy on the other side of the field, Peyton Manning, had played some heavenly football during the season himself, including a handful of come-from-behind victories.
"Wished I'd played with his old man," Whitsell said. "He's a real credit to his family."
The Colts were driving deep into Saints' territory with three and a half minutes remaining. The ball was snapped to Manning and Dave Waymer jumped up and shouted: "Jump the route, Tracey, jump the route."
Sure enough, Porter jumped in front of Reggie Wayne to turn the only interception of the game into a game-clinching touchdown, and the party erupted. All except Jim Finks, who sat there calmly with a knowing smile on his face.
"You look like the cat that ate the canary, Finks," Stram said. "You want to share something with us?"
"I knew somebody on the Colts side would probably ask God what he should do, so I made another suggestion."
"Finks, does God really listen to you?" Stonebreaker asked.
"Who do you think got Stram the limo?" Finks said as the clock ticked down, and the participants slapped each other's backs, knowing that they all had contributed to that moment. Their New Orleans Saints were the world champions.
Jim Finks held up his hand and got everyone's attention for one final comment.
"Piss on the fire and call the dogs, boys. Our job is done!"

Kentucky's Casey was one for the ages
(Excerpted from "Where the Water Kept Rising" by J.W. Miller)
Over the difficult years, one voice of comfort was my longtime friend, Mike Casey. We met at age 8 when Mike's family moved into the neighborhood, and we remained fast friends through grade school, high school and college.
The public Mike Casey was special to many who did not know him as I did. He was leading scorer of a Shelby County High School team that was ranked No. 1 in a basketball-mad state two years in a row and were state champions in 1966. The same year, Casey was named Kentucky's prestigious Mr. Basketball and signed with the University of Kentucky. Casey was the heart of Adolph Rupp's last great team and had been pictured on the cover of Sports Illustrated. He is still ranked as the 13th top scorer in school history.
We had gone our separate ways out of college. Mike played basketball overseas for a few years before returning to Kentucky to go into business. We talked frequently on the phone, and when I would return to Kentucky to visit family, we always found time for a round of golf or a beer. After Katrina, Mike was one of the first who tracked me down to make sure we were safe.
I learned the severity of Mike's illness in early January. He had suffered a viral infection of his heart a decade earlier, and over the years the conditioned worsened. He was undergoing extensive treatment at Vanderbilt University Hospital in Nashville while he waited for a heart transplant.
I wanted to see him, and conveniently our men's and women's basketball teams were to play a double-header at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green on January 17. I took the opportunity to visit my old friend and support my teams on the same trip. I would drive up to the games on Saturday, and then drive to Nashville and spend some time with Mike on Sunday.
Mike Casey joined Charlie Scott of North Carolina and Mike Maloy of Davidson on the cover of Sports Illustrated in 1968.
On the drive up, I thought a lot about our boyhood adventures. I remember the day my father told me that another boy had moved into our Clark Station neighborhood, so I took my Hutch glove and ball and asked the new kid if he wanted to play catch. I distinctly recall that the first ball I threw at Mike went over his head, but he stretched and reached back and retrieved it with such grace that I said to myself "we're going to have some fun." For the next three or four years we were inseparable.
We went to church camp together, and I wrote home that our team won a basketball game 72 to 6 and Mike and I combined for 64 of the points. Since it was a church camp, honesty compelled me to admit that Mike had scored 51 of those points.
As we grew out of our childhood and his basketball skills developed, Mike belonged more to the public. We saw each other frequently at UK, moreso because I was a freshman sportswriter for the Kentucky Kernel student newspaper than because I was his friend. When I applied for the Kernel job, I told the sports editor that I attended Shelby County High with Mike Casey and Bill Busey, another Wildcat recruit. It was natural that my first assignment as a freshman sportswriter was to interview Rupp about his fabulous freshman team that also include Dan Issel and Mike Pratt.
I was terrified that I was going to interview the legendary Rupp. I had grown up listening to Cawood Ledford's calls of the great Kentucky teams of the Fifties and early Sixties on WHAS in Louisville. I would keep score of every game and then listen to Rupp's postgame radio show in which he told Cawood how his coaching genius usually saved the day, despite his players who seldom listened to his wisdom. If Rupp claimed he never used a zone defense, you could bet that the "transitional stratified hyperbolic paraboloid" he employed to beat an unsuspecting opponent looked very similar and achieved the same purpose. In an era before the saturation of sports through ESPN, Foxsports and the internet, sports celebrities came through the radio, and Rupp was the biggest of them all to a young Kentucky listener.
I was admitted to his office, and I first noticed a picture of a polled Hereford, a breed of beef cattle which Rupp raised. I tried to start the conversation by complimenting him on what a fine animal that was, but he got right to the point and asked me what was on my mind. I stammered that I was doing a story on the freshman team and that I had gone to Shelby County, and … "I don't want any stories written about those Shelby County boys," he interrupted. "Their heads are big enough as it is."
I don't know whether it was the puddle under my chair or the tears welling up in my eyes that made Rupp smile, but he knew he'd gone a bit too far and said, "I'm just kidding. You write whatever you want about them." Rupp proved a willing source for me that year and the next, probably because he loved to tweak the full-time beat writers of the Louisville Courier-Journal and Lexington Herald-Leader by giving scoops to the school paper.
The years went by, and Mike and I talked less frequently, but I saw him at our 25th year high school reunion in 1991, and the time apart disappeared. I called a year later to tell him I was going to take a marriage mulligan and would he come down to New Orleans and stand in my wedding, which he did.
I was happy that the best part of my future would get to meet and spend time with one of the best parts of my past.
Mike was lying in bed, his 6-foot-4 frame drawn and withered, and his face looking gray and tired. His right leg was black from a staph infection that he had contracted. He said that he had been taken off the heart transplant list, at least until the infection healed.
My visit seemed to comfort him as our conversation took us away from our miseries and back to the past that binds old friends. We laughed about our "bike hikes" through the hayfields of Shelby County and about the time I bet Mike a nickel he wouldn't kneel down and lick an almost-dried cow pie, which he did. He reminded me of a basketball game when he had a raging case of diarrhea, and a trainer went into the stands asking if anybody had a bottle of Pepto-Bismol and my mother miraculously produced a bottle from her purse.
The hour or so passed quickly, and Mike was getting tired, so I hugged him and told him I loved him.
I remember driving back to New Orleans, thanking God for my health and praying that Mike would survive. But the infection would not go away, and Mike's heart gave out a few weeks later.
I have many wonderful memories of my best friend. But none were better than those final moments in the hospital. Two 60-year-old men embracing, one facing death and the other one thinking he had problems.

The last time I left you with a basement update, the bathroom looked like this:
A bit rough and in need of a "homey" touch.
This past weekend, Adam and I moved a ton of stuff around the house. All of the stuff that was in our guest room was moved out so we could get the guest bed moved into our new guest bedroom. Among all the stuff was a lot of my decoration items. Which meant I could take the bathroom from blah to bla-mazing!
And while we are at it, we also hung a few pictures up in our bedroom and did a few tweaks. Here's a peak:
I am still on the lookout for a new comforter. Something with navy blue in it. Kind of like this.
We are really enjoying our new bedroom! So comfy, so cozy, so clean.. so new!
Oh, yeah. Back to the bathroom. (That darn bedroom gets me every time 🙂 ) It looks quite a bit different from the original picture. Which, in my opinion, is a good thing. A really good thing. Here's what we are living with now:
There are a few things on the bathroom to-do list which include:
*storage baskets for the shelf
*lengthen the fabric shower curtain
Unless I wanted to spend over a $100 on a shower curtain, I couldn't get one that was long enough for where we wanted to hang the rod. So, I have to alter this one. And I have a plan! Be on the lookout for a blog post soon.
With our items moved around, that meant we were able to put things where they will stay. No more moving around!
Our closet storage now holds ALL of our sheets and quilts. Every last one of 'em.
The family room needs a lot of organization, but I can definitely see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Cluttered? Yes. Is everything down here the room needs? Yes. One of these weekends I'll get to it.
Here's another view of the family room. My inspiration came from this post. Once I have things in place, I think it will look a lot better. Right now it looks really weird. I also want to do a paint job like this from Bower Power on the buffet. You can't tell from the picture, but it's in bad shape. We bought if off of Craigslist almost two years ago on the cheap. And there's a reason why it was cheap. If ya know what I mean… 😉
Going back upstairs, our old guest bedroom looks really well put together.
I'm surprised we don't have more people who want to stay the night. Hmmmm…. On the other hand, our new guest bedroom looks like this:
I am on the search for a night stand. There was one of the Wal Mart sight I have my eye on, but I'm going to look a bit more before I really settle on something. The mud marks are from where we took down the window that hung above our bed. I'm not sure where it will go next, but it wouldn't fit above the bed anymore so down it went.
So, there ya have it! Our big switch-a-roo around our school house. What do you think about our family room? Any suggestions on how we can make our guest room more "guest friendly"?
Go ROYALS!

Ok, I'm not that bad, but I do bloody love halloumi...
I have tried to give up dairy numerous times before and I have also failed numerous times before. Almost every health book I own talks about the negative effect that having a lot of dairy can have on your body, so I thought I would actually give it a proper go for a few weeks.
I usually surrender when it comes to coffee and the sweet stuff, so these are the best alternatives I have found:
Alpro Oat Milk
Who knew you could milk an oat? When you walk down a milk aisle nowadays you are inundated with a gazillion different cartons of all sorts of milk substitutes. I've tried a lot of them and I find oat milk is the nicest in coffee (the Alpro one especially) which is the most important thing for me. Who knows what they will get milk out of next...
Turmeric Latte's
I am obsessed with turmeric latte's made with coconut milk. Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory and has been used as a spice and medicinal herb in India for thousands of years. It's best to make them yourself so you know there is no unnecessary sugar added, but if you are out and about, Pret and Cafe Elan do lovely ones.
Montezuma Absolute Black chocolate
I eat chocolate everyday and I mainly love the dark stuff, but I couldn't believe how many brands of dark chocolate still had dairy in. This one is 100% cocoa and it's delish.
Booja Booja
This is the best discovery of my life, let alone my dairy-free experience. It's made with 4 simple ingredients - water, cashews, agave and cocoa and it is FABULOUS. It's insanely chocolatey and not even bad for you....
Yep, they're vegan. The Dream.
Liva's Kitchen Raw Millionaire Shortbread Bites
I found that within the first week of cutting out dairy my taste buds changed a little, I had tried these before and wasn't keen as they didn't taste that sweet, but I gave them another shot and loved them. They are made with oat flour, dates and dark chocolate and go perfectly with a cup of coffee.
So I haven't actually found it that difficult to cut out dairy and I'm feeling great and have so much more energy. I' m not planning to cut it out completely but I'm definitely on the hunt for healthier alternatives.
Go on give it a go to see if you feel better, I dairy you

woman's voice count
Thank for saying zero too :)
Super. I've used the 1-2-3-4 part in https://vimeo.com/jasperm/locomotionman
aaaah so close! why would she record zero... and not 10
thanks for sharing your work.. very nice. I love this site!! I am not even close to a professional sound engineer - this was done with my built in imac microphone and audacity.
@Nikolino - Its funny that you were looking for a female voice but slowed it down so much you can't tell its female
many thanks - an english female count was hard to find. You can slightly hear the recording device but that does´nt matter and the overall quality is pretty good. I´ve used it for a music track U can listen to at
Appreciates, Niko

Becoming Babe Ruth
by Matt Tavares
$16.99 Hardcover
Published by Candlewick Press
Recommended for ages 5 – 8
Before he is known as the Babe, George Herman Ruth is just a boy who lives in Baltimore and gets into a lot of trouble. But when he turns seven, his father brings him to the gates of Saint Mary's Industrial School for Boys, and his life is changed forever. At Saint Mary's, he's expected to study hard and follow a lot of rules. But there is one good thing about Saint Mary's: almost every day, George gets to play baseball. Here, under the watchful eye of Brother Matthias, George evolves as a player and as a man, and when he sets off into the wild world of big-league baseball, the school, the boys, and Brother Matthias are never far from his heart.
With vivid illustrations and clear affection for his subject, Matt Tavares sheds light on an icon who learned early that life is what you make of it –and sends home a message about honoring the place from which you came.
Praise for Becoming Babe Ruth:
On the cover portrait of this picture-book biography, George Herman Ruth's eyes twinkle so realistically, one expects the famous wink. Inside, this exceptionally engaging chronicle recounts Ruth's amazing rags-to-riches story…. Well-researched, realistic illustrations… Equally important, the art captures Ruth's irrepressible personality and joy in playing baseball.
~ Booklist, Starred Review
An homage to the Bambino introduces a new audience to this great legend of baseball…Tavares allows young readers to view Ruth with just the right amount of hero worship and awe.~ Kirkus
For Educators:
This story demonstrates strong character perseverance as well as fulfilling several Reading Standards for Informational Text. Domain specific language abounds, there is an author's note & bibliography for further research, and there are graphs of baseball stats for use in math curriculums. Specific Common Core Standards (of Reading Informational Text) addressed are #4, 5 & 7 for grades 3-5.

One of my best friends is engaged. I'm so excited and happy.
Yet it's so so weird. This is the second of my great friends from High School to get married/engaged. And I have the feeling this is the start of all my friends getting married. And while wedding's are super fun times, expensive and all that. It's just so strange.
But this post is mainly to say — Congratulations Bec & Nathan. If anyone deserves happiness — you guys do. 🙂
