There was a time when blogging was part of my effort to survive the phases of life we were going through. A way through the mental maze--to express my thoughts as the mom of littles that I was at the time.
Later blogging became a way to express my heart for adoption, the journey of adoption, introduced you to our kids, and even was used to fundraise. It was our main method of asking for prayer in-country.
My heart was constantly in need of the community aspects of blogging. I loved to connect with others, read their hearts, blogging and grew my knowledge of the world outside of my little sphere.
I expressed many things over those years. You came alongside. You supported, and the blog was getting a ton of hits as we brought home our kids. But with their arrival came the end of littleandrews.com, because as far as I could see, the journey was no longer one that should be public.
The conviction grew in my heart as I saw the numbers of readers increase--the conviction that these kid's stories are their own, not mine, not yours. They had to grow up, go to school, have families, friends, careers. I didn't want to impede that process or their possibilities by putting out a portrayal of them that they might have been then, or the struggles I was having with some of them (and those they had with me)--each which might not exist in the future. I didn't want to taint or limit my kid's opportunities with my shortsightedness or limited understanding of who they were at that moment.
And here I return two years later, knowing that decision was the best decision to make at that time, but also acknowledging that when you have an established method of communication that is very good for your sanity, it's not good to let that go in it's entirety--for any reason.
2014-2015 was a trial run for the marathon. It was hard, but analogously, it was a first-timer's 5K kind of hard.
2015-2016 was in many ways a private nightmare. Like, you just did a 5k. Suddenly, "Oh look, another 5k, we can do another 5K! Why wouldn't we do another 5K!?" All the things happened. All the things. If you know, you know. If not, no need to explain. Marathons are not, repeat, NOT 5Ks.
PSA. If you get the idea you are maybe about to run a marathon, or maybe are in one you didn't foresee, (you know, like you were tubing in a teency little tributary, and suddenly it joined with...oh, the Mississippi River) please consult with someone who has run a few marathons (or canoed in a raging river), they will have advice that non-runners can't give you (not that those people don't know anything, they are just, say, more acquainted with weight-lifting or some other analogy).
2016-2017 was quite difficult, but we began to say "no" to a lot more things, and began to visit more with those living the life we were living. Relief resides in shared testimonies, my friends. I/we started to pray prayers that were big prayers, believing He would answer, and saw God answer them.
2017, chock full of the everyday of life , has thus far been peaceful, perhaps finally becoming what I can actually call "normal" (all two months). Like a nice jog--sore muscles, but I mean, it's good for you. You do still get sore though.
Enough with analogies... I haven't run in forever... No time.
1. A (relative) state of household peace and quiet where children co-exist having some semblance and respect of each other's personal space and belongings.
2. A reasonable amount of food in the house due to lack of gorging, pack-ratting, or other trauma-induced habits.
3. Long periods of time without tantrum, outburst, destructive, or violent behavior.
4. Ability to share a meal, event, or activity together without constant sabotage.
Now, I understand that to anyone not informed on the last couple of years at our house, the above definition might raise eyebrows. To those who do know the amazing (and I do mean amazing) things we have walked through--or better yet, YOU have walked through them in your own home (and thanks for walking beside us) this probably brings a chuckle. It might still bring a sigh.
Normal. You don't know what you've got till it's gone. You also might not know what it is until you have lost it. And I do mean LOST it! Ha! When some semblance returns, you want to tell everyone. Much like you would tell everyone if you got the most amazing gift ever.
We get up, we go about our day, there is somewhat of a routine, we eat, we sleep, we study, work, and we worship...and we do laundry. Lots of laundry. We even like each other. I think? Let me just tell you, we do love each other, but as with all relationships, it sometimes takes more effort for "liking" to happen. For instance, when Nate says he really likes me after twenty years, it makes me feel AWESOME.
Here's to the couple of people who have told me to get back out there again and write! Also, here's to my sister, Elizabeth, who almost simultaneously came to the conclusion that there are better ways to share our hearts than facebook...like a blog...what?! Get a blog girl. Let's do this.
Hey guys, maybe I'll even update the site too. If I can remember how to do it?
Maybe even put up a new picture?
More to come.
EDIT: You will notice previous links to donations, adoptive organizations, and previous blog entries have been temporarily removed. I will spend some time going over previous entries so as reorganize the site and limit any previous entries for family privacy. Thank you.

Venetian Snares Live
MIRA – Live Visual Arts Festival and Miles Away present Venetian Snares tour. MIRA Festival will curate the opening concert by Ralp and the visual show of the Canadian artist who will perform on April 13th in Barcelona (Sala Razzmatazz II) and 14th April in Madrid (Chango).
The visuals of Venetian Snares will run on Eyesberg. The Barcelona's creative lab hasdesigned a 3D visual show (that has to be watched with special glasses), generated in real time and synchronized with music -mixing generative art and video micro loop-. A show that explores all possibilities of circular and spherical geometry, a show that will be "like a 3D puzzle that changes shape and passes through different states to become the eye of an artificial being" in the words of Eyesberg.
Venetian Snares aka Aaron Funk- just edited Traditiona Synthesizerl Music, an album released on his own label, Time Sig, and which has had a great reception from the most specialized press. An album with analog dyes, escaping from all trends and installed in the electronic underground music scene. The shows in Madrid and Barcelona will be the first time that Venetian Snares performs an analog live set.
The opening act of Venetian Snares will be by the catalan artist Ralp. Ralp has created anexclusive hardware set focused on modular synthesizers with an open configuration where improvisation will play an important role-with pseudo-random sequences, fast rhythms and lots of distortion. The visual part of the show has been designed byDevice . The Barcelona´s studio has prepared a visual show that is automatically generated and audio-reactive. A minimalist and geometric universe where the contrast between black and white will be the protagonist.

Drinking tea before bed is a time-honored tradition with the women in my family. As long as I can remember, my mom, aunts and grandmother always made a cup of Lipton's tea with a dash of milk – sometimes accompanied by a cookie. When my mom helped me move into my LA apartment, the first things she got at the grocery store were Lipton's tea, milk and shortbread cookies. For this Mother's Day, I thought I would make her some homemade shortbread cookies to enjoy with her nightly tea!
3/4 Pound of Butter (Room Temperature)
1 Cup of Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
3 1/2 Cups of Flour
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
Luckily for me, shortbread is relatively easy to bake and only requires 3 ingredients! This recipe is based on Ina Garten's shortbread cookie. First mix the butter, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and salt. Sifting flour brought back my most vivid memories of my grandmother, or Grammy as I like to call her. She was ALWAYS sifting flour, so I made sure not to skip this step, because who wants chunks of flour in their cookies? Thanks Grammy!
Combine the flour and butter mixtures until it comes together as a dough. Kneed together and wrap tightly with Saran Wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Cover rolling pin and cutting board with flower, and roll out the dough until its about 3/4 inch thick.
I picked out a cute little star cookie cutter for these cookies. I think making smaller cookies is best, because shortbread is quite rich as it's packed with butter! Cut out the cookies and arrange on an un-greased cookie sheet. Greasing the cookie sheet causes the cookie to expand on the bottom, loosing their form. Since again, these cookies already have so much butter, they will pop right off the pan no greasing needed. They also don't expand like other cookies while baking so you can fit a lot on your baking sheet without worry of overcrowding.
Traditional shortbread cookies have little dots in the middle, so I took a fork and pricked three times in the center of each cookie and sprinkled the tops with a little extra sugar.
Bake in the oven at 350 for about 10 minutes until the edges start to brown. (Ina says 25 minutes, but I found this to be much too long for a smaller sized cookie)
Since my mom lives in Sacramento, I found this adorable cookie tin and ribbon at the Container Store to send the shortbread in. I lined it with wax paper, piled in the cookies and wrapped it all up in a pink polka-dot bow.
My mom is the inspiration for this blog. Even though she works countless hours as a pediatrician, she always makes time to tie the perfect bow, cook the best pot roast, throw unforgettable parties, arrange the pillows just right, and bake a three-tiered cake for my birthday no matter what. Her ability to balance her career and being a mom and homemaker so flawlessly is something I hope I can live up to. She is the epitome of style, class and poise and I'm lucky to have such an amazing role model. Happy Mother's Day!

I entered the world of SEO as an affiliate marketer working from the bedroom of my college apartment. Even as my career progressed, I still worked alone. But when I became an SEO consultant at Distilled, managing a project that might involve multiple people became an vital skill.
I'd like to share some tips on improving SEO project management, some things I've learned along the way, and also give you some insights into the way Distilled works.
#1 Project Management Is an SEO Skill
The success of an SEO campaign is not limited to your ability to execute SEO tactics. It's often dictated by your ability to manage projects, people, clients, and external factors. As your strategies become more complex, learning how to manage a project is an invaluable skill. I believe skills as a project manager helps an SEO manage expectations, put out fires, and work to get buy-in on an idea.
#2 Define and Execute Goals
SEO strategies are complicated, but I believe Distilled has strong process for evaluating and executing a project. I'd break this process into five major components.
Scrum Process
- Project Kickoff – This is the initial call with the client. Goals and expectations are discussed and often defined during this call, or in a follow up email.
- Monthly Scrum - At the beginning of each month, I meet with a project's team. During this meeting, we discuss the last month, task completion is reviewed, the tasks for the next month are reviewed, and new tasks are delegated.
- Weekly Sprint – These are like mini-Scrums and happen on a weekly basis. These are quick meetings to review the last week, task completion, and set a new set of tasks for the upcoming week.
- Monthly Reports – At the start of each month, a report is sent to the client that covers the tasks executed in the prior month, the tasks planned for the next month, a stoplight color-coded outline of project milestones, and results to date.
- Line Manager Meetings – These are not so much "project" meetings, but personal meetings. However, I think these are integral to the way Distilled executes projects. Generally, I have full autonomy on my projects and the work I execute. These meetings are a chance for me to meet with Rob, discuss my personal progress, give input, set a monthly goal, and evaluate my previous goals.
#3 Use the Right Tools for the Job
Having the the right tools to manage your project is important, but there is no need for a complicated system. These are tools we use at Distilled to manage projects.
- Toggl to track time.
- Google Docs to share documents.
- Dropbox to share files.
- Gmail and GTalk to communicate.
- Google Calendar to keep up with dates.
- Excel and Word for spreadsheets and reports.
We use a wide variety of cool SEO tools like SEOmoz, but nothing complicated for project management. Back in my hometown, Raven has built some cool internet marketing tools that can help you manage a lot of aspects of SEO projects. These guys are both working to raise the bar in SEO workflow management.
#4 Communication!
Get as close as you can to your client, because there are few problems that can't be solved with better communication. You should work hard to build a relationship, even a friendship, with your client. This relationship could even save your ass. By building a relationship with your client, you're able to better understand and manage your client's expectations.
A weekly recap email can help a lot. Set expectations, eliminate surprises, and get input before it's too late.
Pro Tip: Pick up the damn phone!
I'm as guilty of avoiding the phone as anyone else. I'm an SEO right? I work on the interwebs so I don't have to talk to people. Wrong. The phone clears up things faster than almost anything except Skype and in-person communication.
#5 Be a Leader
As the lead SEO on a project, you're accountable for the quality of work being produced. When projects get irksome, motivation to produce awesome may waver. It's your job keep the level of win and awesome being produced high. This means reviewing work before it goes out and stepping up even in face of push back from clients, developers, and coworkers.
Something I took away from my time working with Hannah Paramore at Paramore|Redd, was a firm belief to respect the client. This means, no matter what, keep yourself in check on your attitude towards a client's project. A project manager's attitude is contagious and can affect the results of everyone involved.
#6 Client Happiness is Key
"There is only one boss-the customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else." -Sam Walton
As an SEO, my goals are to optimize, build links, improve rankings, drive traffic, and increase conversions to make more money for my client. However, this can sometimes be too idealistic for a project manager. As a project manager, my job is to make the client happy, while doing my best to achieve my idealistic SEO goals. This means sometimes I have to do things that aren't optimal. I'd rather keep the client, mitigate potential negatives, and continue to educate them and push effective SEO tactics, than to lose the client to someone who's going to harm their business.
#7 Know Your Tactics & Resources
Before you can come up with your tasks, you need to know the tactic required to meet project objectives and the resources you have available. SEO resources may include time, money, bandwidth, and talent.
This is where the SEO dictates the project. Paddy wrote a great post on planning link building strategies, which discusses how the goals and resources available play into the planning of an SEO strategy.
I also recommend checking out Lucy Langdon's post on SEOmoz about project management for SEO.

gary mckinnon, a 36-year-old unemployed computer programmer from hornsey, north london, is a wanted man in america. newark, new jersey u.s. attorney christopher christie describes him as "an incredibly sophisticated cyber-criminal," and the u.s. military has allegedly been put into disarray by his actions.
over the course of a year mr. mckinnon managed to hack into 100 military controlled computers. by gathering information such as passwords and files, he managed to infiltrate these computers, install and delete programs on the machines, monitor network traffic, and use affected pcs as his own. one of the worst cases was when he shut down 300 computers at the colts neck, new jersey naval base soon after september 11th last year. other hacks include nasa computers, library systems, private businesses, and allegedly shutting down the computers running the military district in washington. the total damage is estimated to have cost us$1 million.
currently mr. mckinnon is not in custody, but was bought up on charges in march of this year for computer-related offenses. in the u.s. he has been brought up on 8 counts of computer fraud, and he is currently wanted for offenses in 14 different states.
read more at bbc news.
matthew's opinion
surely this should say more about the security than the man, shouldn't it? either this guy is a brilliant hacker or the security in place to counter such attacks in military installations is in dire need of some attention. i do not doubt this guy's talents as a hacker, but if you look at the time scale involved and the installations targeted you would have thought action would be taken sooner.
there are no details as to the outcome of his current offenses in the u.k., but if he is not in custody then they could not have been that serious, and no court action is planned as far as i know. what. mr mckinnon is probably getting right now is a number of job offers from companies interested in computer security. this has happened many times in the past, with high profile hackers landing jobs breaking into systems. it still stands that the best people to help secure a system are the very ones who usually manage to break in.
as to whether the u.s. will actually manage to get mr. mckinnon extradited, i think it will be a very long process. unless the u.s. government has concrete evidence against him, the case will never go to court. even if the government does have it, it may end up being a u.k. court case.

if a person has a cheap lock on there house does that give you the "right" to break in? if you do break in, should a home security company hire you to protect houses? – by jacob
|tell it like it is, matthew. (9:51am est thu nov 14 2002)
i was disappointed at matthew's attempt to misdirected readers on the crux of the central issue in this story: the proposed guilt and denunciation of the hacker. to try to deflect us from the primary issue at hand, this man's alleged crime, by blaming the military establishment for holes in its security system, lead us to concur that such behavior is not only acceptable, but justified. such logic and thinking is comparable to the muslim view that a man can't be guilty of rape for such action is within his nature. therefore, the woman must have prevoked him.
if this man did the crime, he should do the time. one has to be responsible for one's actions and pay the penalty accordingly. true, he may see such behavior as "fun," a challenge, a blow against the establishment, and something to do while hiding from his superviors at work, but he knew what he was doing was wrong. – by butch-da-man
|re: locked doors (10:09am est thu nov 14 2002)
not the security company, but many lock manufacturers did hire lock pickers to design locks that couldn't be picked. – by old sampler
|locks are to keep honest people honest (10:26am est thu nov 14 2002)
nothing is 100% secure. no such thing as unbreakable, unpickable or inpenatrable. if some one came through my front door regardless of the state locked unlocked broken what ever they have no right to enter or take my stuff or minipulate the suroundings. if their are security risks to a company, country or command then let the people who discover these anounce it to the owners and then to the media then to the people but disclosure to the general public of the exact methode of entry is silly it only invites problems. this guy sounds like a vandal or even a cyber terrorist to me. grab him up and give him a good smacking. and yes hackers and crackers are different. last note punish admins who are too lazy to change default passwords and set up firewalls. – by newtronx

that is idiotic!! it's not like he's the only person in the world that could pull this off. there are probably tons of people out their that can hack better than this guy, but don't want to risk their freedom even if it's just to try it.
patting criminals on the back with a high paying job is not the answer nor is it fair for the rest of us who live by the law so that we can get good jobs, and not worry about a criminal record haunting us.
f*ck school and degrees. i'll just stay at home, hack into everything with a connection to the net, and wait for the job opportunities to roll in.

you are so fucking right, i mean look at me i can hack into the cia, fbi, dra, cclcm, much more, they would never even know. i even showed them i could do it and they didn�t hire me, all i fucking got is surveillance now on me 24/7. so much for being the nice guy and showing them i could do just about anything. now i just do 3d, more fun and make a lot more money.
but in know way should this guy get any job, i would not give oj a job to go and kill someone. second this guy got caught. third for you mac people out there i can do all of this on mac os x, so they are good in a lot of ways. – by i know all

|know it all? (4:16pm est thu nov 14 2002)
maybe they didn't hire you because you can't use proper written english. it should say "in no way…", not "in know way…". even corrected it is klunky. or maybe they didn't hire you because they don't hire kids. hmmm. does your mom know you are on her mac? – by i see you.
|i see you (4:54pm est thu nov 14 2002)
i am not american so that is why my grammar is a little off. wow you got me one little mistake (no and know) i was not looking sorry their tuff guy. but can you speak 5 different languages no i am sure you most likely cant. you are just mad that i said something about a mac, man it is so funny how sad and offensive someone can be to computer, that you have to go around talk shit to some one that was not slamming anyone or anything for that matter other than they should not hire this guy. i simply stated it could be done on a mac also. so you grow up there tuff guy because i have your ip right now and for the past 10 days. i can list them off if you want there little windowzz user. you are a sad person, oh someone said somehing about a mac . they are stupid i am going to talk shit. what a pussy. you are what we call an, "internet tuff guy" – by i know all
|very well spoken. (5:10pm est thu nov 14 2002)
you have made many very eloquent points and have said it all much better than i could have. in fact, i don't think i need to say anything else as you have made such a case all on your own.
i would, however, like to point out that although i may be offensive to you, my computer could care less about me. how 'bout them ips?
|speaking of eloquent… (7:44pm est thu nov 14 2002)
this is a pet hate of mine, americans destroying our beautiful language with their carelessness.
the expression is not actually "i could care less", it's "i couldn't care less". if you could care less, you obviously care a little bit already, enough for you to reduce your level of care. if you couldn't care less, you already care as little as it is possible to do so, and therefore cannot reduce your level of care any further. just think about it.
typical yanks: completely reversing the meaning of the original saying without even realising it…

|us government proven to lie … (1:57pm est sat nov 16 2002)
strange how news of his possible extradition should turn into a grammar war :)
the point is : dont believe the media !
he was originally arrested in march this year by the nhtcu under the computer misuse act 1990, sections 1 and 3. this means unauthorised accessed and unauthorised modification of data, which happens by merely installing a program, not being vandalistic.
he made a full and open confession to having hacked into nasa, the army, the navy and the pentagon. all the evidence of the hacks was on his hard-disk.
at no time did he do any damage, in fact the indictment lists uni of tennessee and tobin international as having been damaged by him, whereas in their interview these two institutions say the hacker (whoever s(h)e was) caused no damage to their systems, so even in the text of the indictment the us gov are already lying.
the us gov are displeased that he gained access. he was looking for info on ufo's, secret government and suppressed technology, which he found and may reveal.they are now lying through their teeth to get him over there so they can lie (again) in court and make sure he's put away for a good long time.
all he is guilty of is unauthorised access/modification, for which the uk law fully covers the situation.

|hire him? (3:44pm est wed nov 20 2002)
i am employee of an isp in the us. i was actually personally involved in this case to a small degree. one of my users sites was used as a hopping off point for the suspect. my user's system was slightly damaged. just because a site said there was "no damage to their systems" doesn�t mean there were no damages at all. the user that was attacked on my network did sustain minimal damages. they did not have the expertise to determine who was doing it. i was asked to help determine the source of the traffic to my system. the bulk of the damages assessed in our case were not to systems. the bulk of the damages came from the time i spent investigating the incident.
it was not very hard for me to track him down. the reason he got away with it for so long has nothing to do with his skill. it has a lot more to do with bad timing and his poor choice of targets in the wake of 9/11. it was the equivalent of pointing a loaded gun at the us military. he was clearly after information that would benefit the target of us military action. in other words they were hoping to find a terrorist cell by watching this idiot.
this guy should go to jail or the mental hospital. a lot of resources were wasted investigating him instead of real terrorists last year. if anyone hires him because of this incident they are making a huge mistake. beyond the fact that giving people like him a job just encourages this kind of activity, he�s stupid.
|uk objections to prosecution (3:45pm est wed nov 20 2002)
i see some people from the uk criticizing the us for wanting to prosecute him. frankly, i just don�t get it. if us troops go into battle it�s pretty likely your boys will be along for the ride too. believe me, the average american knows that and we have great respect and admiration for your country. do you really want to encourage this activity by letting him go or worse giving him a job? everything he scanned from my network had to do with troop movements and war planning. had he found and posted what he was after both us and uk troops could have been killed.
you can say people like mitnick are not out to physically hurt anyone. i still don�t think that makes it right but you do have a point about the consequences of his actions. what mckinnon did was just damn dangerous. people�s lives were in the balance. if a spy were caught while trying to attain the same information would you still be upset? i wouldn�t care if he was from the us or any other country, lock him up and throw away the key.
|gothim (7:03am est thu nov 21 2002)
which isp ? – by friend
|gothim (7:09am est thu nov 21 2002)
you should be in a mental hospital. it is a matter of very public record what your previous governements have got up to around the world, wearing a fake cloak of democracy and pulling the wool over their own people's eyes while using violence and pulling off political coups and destabilising countries all over the world, the list is long.
i get the feeling that perhaps you don't know your history too well. this guy did nothing with the information he came across. he neither published it himself or sold it, and he was on the systems for a long time. why should he care if his activities made a notoriously callous government nervous ?
i mean, wake up, half the current administration have very tight business histories with each other in both oil and arms, not conspiracy theory, but financial fact that is a matter of, again, very public record.
wake up and smell the shit. – by friend
|erm… (3:49pm est tue aug 26 2003)
innocent people were hurt because of this. that makes his actions unjustified in the eyes of the us military. this is the same us military that has killed … killed … hundreds, if not thousands of innocent people in vietnam, iraq, afghanistan [sic, probably] etc.
if his aim truly was gaining information over whether the us wasa threat to the world, what gives the us or the uk the right to prosecute when they have so many intelligence agents trying to gain similar information by similar means?
as for the military, at least they can now work out weaknesses in their system to patch until the next hacker comes along. at least it was him that compromised their system and not a true terrorist. – by steiner

|hilarious (2:39pm est wed jun 08 2005)
what a very funny thread. people are insane… and i'm not refering to gary mckinnon.
yeah i'd like to know what he found out on ufo's, though i suspect they threw that one out there. was he quoted as saying that? if anyone has any more information i'd be interested. – by the magic of spandex

Title: Faith Volume 1: Hollywood and Vine
Creators: Jody Hourser, Francis Portela, and Marguerite Sauvage
Type: Fiction, Comic
Genre: Young Adult, Adult
Publisher: Valiant Entertainment
Date published: January 27, 2016
Format: E-book
Page Count: 63
Source: NetGalley
E-copy of the book kindly provided through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.
Summary: Orphaned at a young age, Faith Herbert – a psionically gifted "psiot" discovered by the Harbinger Foundation – has always aspired to greatness. But now this once ordinary teenager is taking control of her destiny and becoming the hard-hitting hero she's always known she can be – complete with a mild-mannered secret identity, unsuspecting colleagues, and a day job as a reporter that routinely throws into her harms way! Well, at least she thought it would… When she's not typing up listicals about cat videos, Faith makes a secret transformation to patrol the night as the City of Angels' own leading superhero – the sky-soaring Zephyr!
But flying solo is going to be tougher than Zephyr ever thought when she uncovers a deep-rooted alien conspiracy. Two-bit burglars and car thieves are one thing, but when the world needs a hero to stave off a full-blown extraterrestrial invasion, will Faith find herself in over her head…or ready for her biggest challenge yet?
I really wanted to love this comic book! …but I didn't.
I did enjoy the story line, although it was not something new and overly exciting in itself. I also enjoyed the variety of body shapes and skin colours represented in the comic.
I did, however, find that the cover image is misleading in regard to the quality of the illustrations found within the comic itself. I really liked the style and colouring of the cover image, but was unpleasantly surprised that the illustrations are not of such quality on the inside.
The illustrations are not bad or terrible, but they are simply not as good as I expected them to be. Or maybe they are simply not to my taste. There were some awkward postures, as well as numerous facial renderings which looked strange or unnatural. Faith's boss, some of the prisoners, and even Faith herself sometimes looked scarier than the actual villains (in my opinion).
I enjoyed the style of the daydream/dream sequences more than the style of the drawings within the actual story.
Overall, I did like this comic and I would like to see what happens next. I do not think that I would purchase this comic for myself though, but maybe as a gift to someone else.

Do You Prefer Kate Bosworth's or Blake Lively's Eyeshadow Application?
Two actresses. Both blondes. Both blue-eyed. (Sort of*.) Both gorgeous... obviously.
One is 27 years old—and generally looks fresh and lovely and age-appropriate (if not a little on the skinny side). *And only one of her eyes is blue; the other is brown—did you know?
The other is just 23, but is, in my humble beauty opinion, doing verrry questionable things with her eyeshadow that are adding years and years and years.
Shall we discuss?
First, let's take a moment to appreciate the makeup, above, on Kate Bosworth. No, I'm not down with her skanky dating ways and I really do wish the girl would eat a cheeseburger now and then, but you have to admit that at least from the neck up, she looks damn good. And since we are talking mostly about eyeshadow today, notice how hers is the way eyeshadow SHOULD BE.
As in: you don't see the eyeshadow; you see the eyes. (And lashes.) From what I can tell, all the makeup artist did was sweep a bit of a pale (the pale part is very important) pinky/peachy colour across the lids, and then emphasized the area around the eyes with a darker taupe shade. Nothing crazy, nothing too creative, but it works. This is how it is done.
Compare and contrast with Boobs Legsly I mean Blake Lively:
Seriously, what is UP with the peach eyeshadow painted ALL THE WAY from the lash line to the eyebrows?
Am I the only one bothered by this?
She is a repeat offender, too—the peach tones are definitely a recurring theme with our Blakey:
And worst of all, remember this one? A coppery disaster:
I realize that Blake's makeup artist is probably trying to make her eyes look bigger, since (like me) she has quite heavy lids. But I firmly believe they are going about this the wrong way.
What would be better would be to stick with emphasizing the lash line, and lashes, instead of all the theatrics on the lids. Comme ça:
OR, if visible eyeshadow had to be worn, at least she could go for a more subtle (i.e. taupey brown) colour, like Kate did here:
What do you think?
Do you agree that Blake kinda sux with the eyeshadow application and colour selection?
What do you think of Kate Bosworth's makeup skillz?
Which one is your favourite? (My vote goes to the Kate pic at the very top... so elegant and gorgeous... and as a blush addict, I die!)

"Macomber's patented recipe of idyllic small-town life with a touch of romance is sure to result in a summer best-seller."—Booklist

"And the Heisman trophy goes to…"
Let's be honest most of the season majority of college football fans expected to hear the name Leonard Fournette following those words but that all changed on a November Saturday night that matched up LSU against Alabama. When you say "Roll Tide" you think about a dominant style of football that the Crimson colored athletes abuse their opponents with year in and year out. Derrick Henry led them in that exact fashion piling up the carries (38) on his way to 210 yards with 3 touchdowns against the Tigers, while Fournette ended the night with only 31 yards on 19 carries. That moment changed the entire Heisman conversation.
If you have ever wondered what a running back that can lead your team for the long haul looks like, watch Derrick Henry's Alabama highlight reel. Consistent. Powerful. Deceptive Speed. All of these qualities helped the running back rush his way to the record books breaking the legendary Herschel Welker SEC single season rushing record. It was inevitably his dependable nature that put him into elite company winning the Heisman trophy this past weekend, any team that drafts him is getting a world class athlete and young man.
Derrick's name has been added. #RollTide #BuiltByBama pic.twitter.com/5V8uBphzha

Congrats to Derrick Henry and tune in December 31st as Alabama faces off against Michigan State in Arlington, Texas for the Cotton Bowl. If you haven't had a chance to check out the College Football playoff match-ups or the entire list of bowl games this year, we have you covered.

We're confident that the ASDA website will have had a pretty good day after a code for a free £50 spend spread across social media this lunch time.
With an office full of die hard voucher code enthusiasts it wasn't long before one of us spotted this little gem for saving money.
The question is will they honour it, and was this a mistake or a (pretty impressive) PR stunt?
Being the nosey bunch we are we had to take a closer look at how this spread.
It looks like the original post came from a student deals page on Facebook at 12.40pm. With 373 likes and 559 shares it's fair to say it had a decent start.
5 minutes later the deal went live on Twitter but with a surprisingly low number of retweets, maybe this just looked too good to be true.
Despite the slow start on twitter news soon spread with 2741 twitter mentions of ASDA as of just before 3pm today.
Plenty of happy shoppers were getting involved with the details of their supermarket sweep.
Twitter users are now reporting the site slowing and even crashing as shoppers rush to place their orders, but the code still seems to be working, did you get your order in today?

Created 04-10-2019 01:37 AM
I'm currently building a customed cdh6.1.0 docker image.
Based on centos7:latest.
Installed net-tools, openssh-server, openssh-clients and etc.
The privileged is set to true to allow systemd boot up.
All is fine(though cost me a week to get through) and now I've got images:
1. image installed cloudera-scm-server (used as cloudera manager)
2. image installed dnsmasqude to provide dns resolution instead of editing the /etc/hosts (used as dns)
3. image loaded with latest cdh6.1.0/cm6.1.0/gplextra6.1.0 repos serving on port 8900 (used as local repo)
4. image installed only sshd and ntpd services (used for deployment, run under privileged mode)
Then I started a test cluster to deploy CDH on some replicates of the 4th images. Though there were a lot of errors bursted into logs (such as some file cannot be found which in fact exists and well written).
After a short duration, the installation completes, the detail should the installation script completed. However the status showed that "Installation failed. Failed to receive heartbeat from agent.". I'm quite puzzled at the information.
After quite a waste of time searching informations online, I thought my situation is quite different from others.
1. installation is completed, agent is started every where.
2. the time would not be any different, they are on the docker from the same machine. And I checked them one by one.
3. All file mentioned not found are found except for /run/user/0/.
4. The hearbeat itself... I tried a lot of time finally got to the HOST page and saw the latest heart beat were with in minute, there is no reason that were caused by delay. The status of each unit is unknown, including the local server(agent pre-installed).
5. On the agent side I inspected every port might link to failure like 9000/9001 and 7182. 7182 is in connected state. However, 9000/9001 is not connected. They were all established by agents.
6. The config.ini on client side did not set tls, and I also checked the security page on server side, the tls option is not set as well.
The only suspecious point is the server is not intended to connect the agent:9000/9001?
There is no valuable information provided in logs, I'll attach the long-long log of client and server side afterwards
I also run an inspection into the hosts, It showed that something is not installed onto each client.
For example:
1. mysql-connector-java when I'm using mysql 5.7
2. the path for oracle jdk , though oracle jdk is automatically installed, the path is not set to profile
Anyone providing help is appreciated!

words to live by
Flirt with everyone. Trust no one. Have a smile ready. Prepare to be dazzling. Do not let your face fall and never falter. Do not, under any circumstance, fall apart. Laugh. Shrug it off. Have a comeback that is wittier, sharper and smarter than anything they had ready. Lose a few pounds. Flaunt what you have. Hide your weaknesses. Don't let a boy become one of them, because that never fixes anything. Use music as a shameless escape. Write nothing that will give away your true vulnerability. Above anything else, let people believe that you are worth it, and maybe someday you will believe it too.

There is no other relationship on earth like the one you have with your spouse. It can bring the greatest joy but also cut the deepest wounds. And as marriage counselors are a dime a dozen, how do you know who is the right person for you? You want to find someone who is compassionate enough to listen well and understand your unique issues, but is also wise and strong enough to guide you both through through the storm.
I utilize Gottman Method Couples Therapy, a therapy based on three decades of research and clinical practice to best understand what differentiates successful couples from disaster couples. Through counseling, you will learn to better understand and deal with conflict, as well as increase your feeling of friendship and oneness. In short, you can reboot the relationship and find firmer footing to continue growth after therapy.
Many individuals and couples wait too long before they reach out for help. Even if your spouse in unwilling to come to counseling, there is hope for your marriage to change. In an ideal world, you will both come, but lets face it, you wouldn't even be reading this page if we lived in an ideal world. Change is possible. Whether you come individually or as a couple you can rebuild the love and friendship that you once experienced together.

The Dallas Stars are quickly adding former members of the Chicago Blackhawks to their roster, and they snared another one on Wednesday as they agreed to a two-year contract with defenseman Johnny Oduya.
The 33-year-old blue liner joins several former Hawks with the Stars, including Patrick Sharp (who was traded to the team last week), Stephen Johns and Antti Niemi. With all of those former members of the Hawks in the fold, it isn't surprising that one of them played a role in recruiting Oduya to head to the Lone Star State to continue his career:
Oduya said Patrick Sharp reached out and put in a positive word for how he had been treated so far with the Stars. — Scott Powers (@ESPNChiPowers) July 15, 2015
Oduya on Sharp: "He tried to get ahold or me. I got a text the other day. So far he only had great things to say." — DefendingBigD (@DefendingBigD) July 15, 2015
While it's unclear how Sharp could have potentially framed the benefits of being in Dallas, what is clear is that Sharp reached out to his former teammate and helped to facilitate a reunion. Other teams like the Buffalo Sabres were in the mix to acquire the defenseman, but Dallas' pitch, bolstered by Sharp's recruitment, ended up doing the trick.

I think I take after my parents...
Like father like son, I'm like daddy in terms of
- Intelligence (High IQ) -> After all, I do have my own blog and facebook
- athletic (I'm a fast dog)
- lousy stomach -> Tends to get diarrhea wayy too often. (*Nods* Yap, Daddy too. )
- can sleep anywhere, anyhow and anytime...I could even doze off sitting upright.
Interestingly, I take after mummy too!
- Sociable (High EQ) Here's a little peek of some of my friends.. (and yes, they are mostly girls. *Wink*)
Kiba, the Shiba Inu
Lucy, the poodle
Zoe, the lab mix
Dexter, the beagle, Jack Russell, Hound mix and my proud brother!
Ella, the Border collie mix
- Enjoys sleeping till noon --> this I definitely get from mummy
- Drinks alot of water, likes pee-ing in the middle of the night (Sorry mummy, I didn't mean to spill your beans)
Mummy and daddy always have a running joke about how their kids would have daddy's high IQ and mummy's high EQ, but if they are unfortunate enough, their kids might be the direct opposite (low in both). But good for them, little Sammy Loo Lim has both in the high spectrum! The bonus is, that Little Sammy also has the good looks that make me a great chick magnet - both in the canine world and in the homo sapien world.
Yeah yeah, god isn't fair. But he is to me.

I've been accused of many things, and now a tasting note has led to me being told that I've reached "a new low in wine journalism!". Oh dear.
The note in question was posted as a recommended wine in my Mail & Guardian column a few weeks back. The wine was Beaumont Hope Marguerite Chenin Blanc 2011, and I described it thus: "Ripe but not sugary, concentrated but subtle and understated, lightly rich but nervy, it is a lovely, serene wine that will grow even better and more complex over quite a few years. It is pricey at R150, but worth every cent."
To which a reader, Ian Joseph, responded in a comment online, and (with some different wording) to my email address. He asked exasperatedly: "Exactly how does 'lightly rich' wine taste? Not to speak of 'nervy', 'serene' and other totally meaningless adjectives. Exactly how many years is 'quite a few'? I live in Northern California and love drinking good wine without the bullshit. You, sir, go too far."
It was a Sunday morning and I had little else to do except prepare the next load of nonsense for my column, so I responded to his email. Incidentally, I think that this topic, of how awful wine descriptions often are, is always worth returning to (as with the debate over sighted and blind tastings, for example), which is why I'm reporting on this email conversation. It certainly made me think a bit.
Me to Ian, defensively:
… this description is a pretty vague one indeed, because I don't believe in being very precise about something as individually perceived as wine. (I presume you're as hostile to the standard American style of notes which consists of lists of tastes/odours.)
Ripeness is a question of sugar levels [in grapes], basically. Many ripe wines have residual sugar for various reasons, or the sweetness of ultra-ripeness; this one doesn't. It seemed a useful point, to me. Very concentrated flavours (the dominant style of smart New World wines – especially those catering to American tastes) are usually associated with blockbusterish monolithicity. But this one has the concentration without that. "Lightly rich" is basically the same things said again. I could have said "richly light", I suppose! It's a fairly rich, full wine, but has a pleasingly light quality. "Nervy" is a fairly common wine descriptor, indicating a freshness, a lively acidity. Serene – well, I confess I do tend to use a lot of "psychological" categories, that not everyone appreciates – aggressive, sombre, etc. This wine seemed to me to be serene, and I thought that some other people would understand what I was trying to convey. Clearly not you.
As to the timespan – I suppose if I'd said 3, 5 or 7 years 4 months you'd have been happy? I couldn't, because generally this is a matter of guesswork, and very dependent on storage conditions; but I wanted to indicate that it had a future. So "quite a few" is an attempt to indicate this.
I'm sorry that my attempt at characterising the wine failed so miserably for you. I must say that it is not at all uncommon for other people's descriptions of a wine to fail with me too. I'm glad you enjoy drinking wine – you should just be grateful that, apparently, you don't feel obliged to think about the process at all, or relate it to words, or try to tell anyone else about the joys of a particular wine. You can just dismiss it all as bullshit.
Ian to me:
I far prefer a wine to be described as acidic rather than nervy, acidic is far more precise. The same goes for some residual sugar giving rise to partial sweetness rather than lightly rich. You get the idea I am sure. Wine, in general is nothing more than a beverage made from fermented grape juice and, I believe, far too much pretense, snobbishness and confusing language has come to be associated with the product. Furthermore, it is not an enduring product, it changes with time and once consumed is gone forever. It is a beverage for a brief moment in time and to ascribe nonsensical language to it, in my opinion, insults both the beverage and the winemaker.
I live about 20 minutes from the Sonoma valley and regularly visit wineries and attend events in both Napa and Sonoma. I have not, up till now, encountered this type of a description when it comes to wine. Maybe it is the American style that is so different.
Me to Ian, a bit more aggressively:
I get the idea, but disagree. The wine is not "acidic" – any more than a nervous person is neurotic, perhaps. And I wish to avoid precision precisely for the reason you give – that wine changes with time.
I agree about the problem with language – and don't even really defend this particular note – it is too flowery, I agree, somewhat excessive. Though not all that uncommon in its essence, really, in a more British tradition of winewriting, to which I (a South African) relate more. I seldom write like this, you'll be pleased to know.
But I disagree that wine is a "nothing more than a beverage". Is a poem "nothing more than words" and a painting "nothing more than paint"? Anything at all is reducible to its absurd constituents. If it's essentially no different for you from Coke or orange juice, I don't know why you bother. One of the reasons winewriters descend into absurdity on occasion is the difficulty of conveying an experience of the wine – which is one of the jobs of a wine writer. I have no idea of the sort of description that appeals to you, if any.
This is part of a description of a wine by the eminent American writer David Schildknecht (who does a lot of tasting for Parker): "…salt-spray, exotic, musky flowers, red currant, pomegranate, and mysteriously animal scents in the nose. A striking, shimmering, exchange of saline, alkaline, iodine and crustacean minerality with white peach, tart red fruits, citrus zest, and flowers on the palate, leads to a finish that positively sizzles with mineral, berry, and citrus intensity." Perhaps you like that one – but I once singled it out as an example of absurdity.
I think this is a debate that should be frequently re-raised, so, while I of course don't like being the victim, think you're quite right to object!
Then came an email from Ian, giving me a few examples of tasting notes he appreciates, but I won't quote it here – except for his closing point:
And on a lighter note as Russell Crowe said in A Good Year, one of my favorite lines is his off the cuff description of the wine made at La Siroque… "Bouquet of a wet dog, hits the palate like a razor blade, and a finish that hints of offal."

A man living near Fullabrook Wind Farm says noise and vibrations from the turbines are making him ill.
Nick Williams said he and other residents were suffering increased stress levels because of delays in officially commissioning the site.
The delay meant that complaints about the noise could not be officially investigated.
Until the wind farm is officially commissioned, the environmental health team at North Devon Council said it was not legally allowed to carry out noise checks.
The wind farm was supposed to be officially commissioned in October.
But this has not happened, although it is already producing electricity to the national grid.
To date the council's environmental health department has had 24 complaints regarding the noise and shadow flicker from the blades.
People living near the turbines claimed the delayed commissioning has been deliberate by ESB International, the company behind the wind farm, so the testing could not be carried out.
Nick Williams, who lives at Fullabrook itself, said he had been told he was on the edge of a nervous breakdown by his doctor.
He said: "Enough is enough. The people of North Devon need to know this is a farce – this is about people making money, not electricity.
"I am being put on anti-depressants because of the stress these turbines have caused me.
"I can't stand the noise or the fact it has taken my television signal away but I am stuck here because no one will buy my house as a result – they have ruined my home.
"They don't care if the site is only producing 70 per cent of the power because they are still getting all their funding."
Mr Williams also said he knew of many people who felt the same way but were too afraid to speak out.
He added: "They are trying to go down all the obvious routes but it is not working – the people behind this need pressure put on them to finish the job they started."
Western Power Distribution has been in charge of the final connection but said it had never dealt with a project on this scale.
The firm said the hold-up had been caused by the final connection to the National Grid taking longer than thought.
A spokesman said timings previously given would have been guidelines.
He said: "It would have been impossible to give a definitive time scale.
"It is such a major project it is essential for the connection to be correct so as not to jeopardise the rest of our customers in the area if Fullabrook were to over-power the system."
ESB apologised for the delay and said there had been nothing deliberate in it.
A spokesman said: "ESB is working very closely with WPD to complete the works as soon as possible.
"WPD has now reassured ESB this will be complete by the end of January.
"ESB continues to liaise with local residents and we understand the frustrations, but the connections have to be set up correctly."

The official color for the month of January is the very luscious caramel according to Colorstrology by Michele Bernhardt. This is a hue of substance and determination. This color can be used by anyone to help attain goals. Well, this seems just perfect for all of you who have established your New Year's resolutions!
We can align this color's properties with the solar plexus chakra, a major energy center that spirals above the navel and below the chest. Think of this as your power chakra because when balanced, this chakra helps you stick to your plan and get from point A to point Z without distraction.
When you have a balanced solar plexus chakra you will feel responsible and reliable and have solid self-discipline. The Solar Plexus chakra is yellow – in the golden family with caramel.
So what does balance mean? Gradual steps which build upon each other will help you gain more self confidence and become more successful as you move to your larger goal. For example: if you want to begin better eating habits, it may not be wise to jump directly to a plant-based, gluten free, dairy-free, sugar-free diet all at once. Remember – you want to end bad habits, and begin good habits – but willPower is strength work – and it's only fair to give yourself time to build your strength. Take one at a time – establish a new good habit (or release a bad habit) every six to eight weeks.
According to Bernhardt, surrounding yourself with the a grounding caramel hue will increase patience, tenacity and endurance. By all accounts, these qualities will enhance your habit-forming capabilities.
This very happy and healthy recipe is from a willPower blog writer, Brianne Grogan: Nut + Grain Free Banana Chip Cookies will help you accomplish a few goals: use your Solar Plexus (yellow Solar Plexus Chakra color – banana), eat your caramel hue during the holiday season, and work with patient balance and moderation toward a larger goal.

Go Granny Go!
We are speaking, of course, of the latest singing sensation, courtesy of Simon Cowell and British friends, golden voiced Janey Cutler.
She is shaky on her feet, her voice quakes, and she's got a brogue so thick it is hard to understand her, but when sings, oh Lord, paradise has come again.
Indeed, she even seems a bit hard of hearing, but the lady has a voice that would charm the angels.
Rich, throaty, full, vibrant with life. Well, of course with life. After all…eighty years old? The lass has got to have lived!
Lived through wars and lovers, had children, and her children have children and…even her grandchildren have had children!
That's living.
The question that we must ask ourselves now, however, is where has this lass been all our lives?
Why has the world been deprived of her talent?
The answer, of course, is that the world has been too busy rockin' and rollin' to appreciate real talent.
We've been busy lip syncin' 'Get me up before I go go,' instead of looking for the sheer, raw talent that is a true artist.
We've been shakin' our hips and partying, instead of delving into the emotional layers that peel back to reveal our true selves.
A song, and I mean a good song with meaningful and connective lyrics, and I mean in the hands of a real voice, one with timber and pitch and an understanding of what those terms mean, is a prayer.
It is a hallelujah to life, and a rejoicement in our own existence.
Well, it's never too late, and maybe we can still squeeze a record or two out of this delightful lass with the golden voice.
Go, Janey, and bring us with you!

Van Halen, REM Announced as Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame Inductees
Published: 2007-01-10

Print this article
Monday January 8th was a very special day for some glorified old time musicians. The Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame announced the award-deserving inductees of 2007.
The list varies, from R.E.M, Van Halen, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Patti Smith and the Ronettes. The ceremony will take place March 12 at New York's Waldorf-Astoria hotel.
As being inducted into the Hall of Fame is quite the prestigious honour for musicians, they are all expected to perform for the occasion. With this request in place there might be a couple of problems.
R.E.M's original drummer, Bill Berry left the band in 1997. But front man Michael Stipe says there is no worry, "Obviously, we're really honored...and the thought of ourselves and Patti Smith and Grandmaster Flash all being there, it's to be a very exciting night. And of course, Bill will be there with us, he'll definitely be onstage with us." Problem solved there but then there is still the question of Van Halen.
The band has had numerous line-up changes throughout their history as a band. Even at the height of their success, in 1985 lead singer David Lee Roth quit due to personal issues with guitarist Eddie Van Halen. Replacing David Lee Roth was Sammy Hagar. With the new vocalist they gained even more fame and topped the charts once again. Yet still the band just can't manage to keep a singer. Hagar was eventually replaced by Gary Cherone, who also left the band. Hagar then returned in 2004 for a tour only to leave again. So at the present time no one knows who will be included in Van Halen's lineup when they perform at the ceremony.

Roberto Di Matteo was, in a sense, a surprise short-term appointment. The likes of Fabio Capello and Rafael Benitez was named as potential interims, but neither was really approached.
Instead, Roman Abramovich opted for the safer, quicker option. Roberto Di Matteo. Assistant manager duties became managerial responsibilities. Quietly, he assembled his team, drafting in colleague and friend Eddie Newton. Slowly, in the background, Chelsea were reuniting. There was silent urgency. The players rallied behind. Vindication at the greatest level.
Here, I outline five reasons why the Italian must be at the helm for the long-term:
1) Excellent man-manager
Compare Chelsea now to how they were six months ago. The 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa was soon followed by draws to Swansea, defeat to QPR, and another stalemate to Norwich.
And look at them now. Somehow prevailing against Napoli, a master-stroke of a performance against Barcelona, a thumping of Tottenham, another FA Cup winners medal, and now a chance to secure the Champions League.
This is no luck. Roberto Di Matteo has been more communicative psychologist than tactical genius. But it has been more effective. The togetherness and spirit has been restored. The life, the belief.
Contrary to AVB, who, allegedly, treated players as numbers on a whiteboard, RDM has sought to talk as human to human. In a way, he has had an advantage: he has seem where it has gone wrong. He is correcting it now.
2) The fans love him
Boos were the most common sound to come from Stamford Bridge towards the end of AVB's reign. But the atmosphere has been completely changed. Wins were always followed by chants of "There's Only One Di Matteo!"
The fans adore him here. Even before he arrived, he had so much history with the club as a player, creating so much success. The fans appreciate that and he was welcomed with hero status from the off.
But just because he was liked to start does not mean he will near the end. He has still had to do his bit. More success as a manager – another page written in his chapter in the Chelsea history books – and the fans don't want anyone else. He has already checked the box of getting on with the fans. One-nil already.
3) Not too big a name
The people who say that Roman Abramovich might want "a bigger name" than "Roberto Di Matteo" are totally ridiculous, is 15 letters not big enough?
Joking aside, that's probably what has done Chelsea good. Not a big name means not as high expectation. Not as high expectation means less pressure, allowing Di Matteo to get on and just do his job.
We've seen before big names fail. Luiz Felipe Scolari, to name one. We've also seem the inexperienced, Andre Villas-Boas. Both we had high expectations of. The latter buckled at the sheer magnitude of the task, to overhaul Chelsea. Maybe Roberto can handle it better. If he leaves big names out, maybe they will be more understanding with him.
4) Not too young or old
At 41-years-old, he is the same age as Pep Guardiola and the same age as when Jose Mourinho started out at Chelsea in 2004.
This man is not too old, or too young. He combines his experience with his current awareness. He respects old-fashioned discipline, getting the players onside, but he is also young enough to have a laugh with the players.
Maybe this is exactly the type of manager Chelsea need. 41-years-old is still young, so why can't he lead the Chelsea overhaul? AVB, at 33, was perhaps still a little too young. Perhaps too unaware about the pressures of losing, having won everything possible at Porto. Similarly, Chelsea would not want an older man to see through the youth. So Di Matteo has the perfect balance.
5) Do we need a fifth reason?
It might seem an anti-climax of a point, but why not? Roman Abramovich has had – and parted company – with eight managers in the last nine years. It hasn't worked with them, but Chelsea have been a different side under Roberto Di Matteo.
Decisions have gone Chelsea's way; some would call it luck, but never is luck truly a fluke in football – there is some method in the game. That has got to be down to the way Roberto has interacted with the players.
Roberto Di Matteo has shown enough since March to convince the fans. He has gotten some players performing again: Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba, John Terry. We've seen a resurgence in John Obi Mikel, Ramires and Mata proving influential.
What he could potentially do over the weekend – in two months – is something never achieved in the entirety of the Russian oligarch's era. That merits a job.
Decision time, Mr Roman. It's your call. Make it a good one.

A TKXS marketing solutions owner based in Michigan, Kelly has been with the company since 2009.
1. What five words best describe you at work?
Educator, motivated, family-oriented, collaborative, patient
2. What do you do to relax?
When I'm not working, I'm in full-time family mode. My daughter Emma is a year and a half, and one Saturday morning a month, my friends and I have something we call Brunch And Babies, where we all get together – with our babies – to talk about life and parenthood. My husband and I also do a lot of home projects. We just finished putting a new counter, sink, and backsplash in the kitchen.
3. What's your favorite book or movie?
It may sound funny, but Moana is one of my favorites. I watch it with Emma a lot and it reminds me of the Disney princess movies I watched growing up, like The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. The concept for all of them is the same – the importance of family and following your own heart. Others may have a destiny for you, but you have to find your own destiny. You have to be who are you.
4. What are people surprised to learn about you?
I'm an elected official. I'm currently the city treasurer of Coloma. I joke about being mayor one day, but who knows? It could happen!
5. What advice would you give a new TKXS employee?
The same advice I got when I started here, Find a mentor and ask lots of questions. The only way to learn and grow was to ask lots of questions. Even now, I think it's a smart approach to finding your career path.

Rye Rye is seriously channelling M.I.A.'s "Bird Flu" on new track "Shake Twist Drop" (it doesn't quite sound like a sample to us). But once you, uh, shake off the initial quirk of déjà vu, it isn't difficult to succumb to Rye Rye's dancefloor provocations. Rack City BitchTyga makes a brief appearance, shining some of his spotlight on the track. Listen to the track below:
It looks like Rye's loooong delayed debut album Go! Bang! Pop! (it was supposed to come out 2009) is actually coming out this month. May 15 to be exact –– but don't hold your breath now.
