Easy Art Pro picture quiz begins…Tuesday, September 21st, 2010
This picture was taken recently and looked so strange we thought it fitting to launch a regular quiz to see if anyone can guess what the picture is of. We look forward to receiving your emails to firstname.lastname@example.com with what your ideas are!

Amazing maize mazes!!!Monday, August 9th, 2010
(Click image to enlarge and scramble your brain at how big this is!)
I just got off the phone to a friend who told me about these incredible "Maize Mazes". As the name suggests they're mazes made from maize! So instead of me waffling on about how they're created, visit the link below and go pay them a visit!

Pupil strength or the power of the word "can't!" ???Thursday, July 29th, 2010
Combining the power of suggestion with subtle but powerful messages can be an interesting experiment into how people think. It's surprising the power that repeated negative suggestion can have on pupils, teachers or even members of the public.
As an example, if in a school canteen you spent the best part of an hour subconsciously telling someone that certain things couldn't be done, but suggesting that that was OK or even a positive thing, the results that you can create can be quite startling!
Nothing could have surprised two pupils at Q3 Academy more recently when for no apparent reason, neither of them could pick a mug up off the table, half filled with water, until they were told they could, then suddenly they lifted it with ease!
This was another example of the recent and ongoing series of unusual happenings at schools around the area. Once again it raises the question, did the actual event really take place as it seemed or was it some sort of manipulation of people's interpretation…
…again, food for thought, and while you're thinking, take a quick look at the first letter of every paragraph above to see an example of how subtly messages can be planted in your mind without your awareness.

Bluetooth phones and smoking fingertips???Thursday, July 22nd, 2010
Another interesting incident occurring recently at a creative workshop was the bizarre sight of plumes of smoke discharging from the tips of my fingers and thumb as they were placed between two mobile phones, both with bluetooth switched on.
Science has yet to decide whether the radio waves from mobile phones can do any long-term damage to people physically, but it would appear that if placed in a specific position, the combined effect of certain brands of wireless mobile connection can create heat hot enough to produce smoke from skin…or so you would have thought.
Ps: Many thanks for all your messages about anti gravity orange juice theories. Some peoples' imaginations are truly creative! Ideas about wirelesness technology and its effects are welcomed…

Anti gravity orange juice?Thursday, July 22nd, 2010
Is it possible to turn a glass of orange juice upside down and not spill any of it? If you were at a Sandwell school recently you would have witnessed the seemingly impossible and had to answer yes!
Pupils and teachers shared dropped jaws as during a creativity workshop a glass of just-sipped orange juice was turned upside down over a pupil's head. This seemingly impossible act was seen by around twenty people, but it raises the question.. did it really happen?
Incidents like this are regular events at Easy Art Pro workshops and create intriguing questions about how we perceive what we see, hear, read and generally experience. One response and solution, which raised some eyebrows, was that the orange juice didn't move and the whole room turned upside down along with the people in it!
Interesting idea and either way, real or fake, genuine or con trick, anything that gets people's brains ticking is a good thing! Food for thought. Let me know what you think…

Chocoholism or just a bit of room left?Saturday, June 26th, 2010
Miss Borrows (of a local school!) was spotted out recently breaking the West Midlands record for eating too many deserts (!!!) after a meal.
The Guinness Book of Records organisation is as yet to comment and await her release from accident and emergency.
Paramedics at the scene attempted to talk to Miss Boroughs but were pushed aside by her flailing arms as she scribbled "More chocolate cake!" on nearby napkins!
The manager of the restaurant where she appeared to be celebrating some sort of special event said "I am very shocked, nobody has eaten more than twenty-four slices of chocolate cake before tonight, I'm excited to print the bill out though!"
The image above was taken in a flurry of activity around Miss Burrows table and has not been digitally altered in any way.

Australia Day Monster sculpture prep art…Monday, May 31st, 2010
After the success of Australia day at two Sandwell schools recently, I was inspired to sculpt the monster that the map shape turned into (See a couple of posts below). Based on this creature here is the first of several images created to allow the process of sculpting the form in 3D to begin. Further posts will show the progress so check back from time to time.

100 Days The reign of Louis XVIII got off to a very difficult start with Napoleon's 100 days A 'glorious' Napoleon return to France with one final battle with the Great powers which he lost at Waterloo Any Bourbon foreign policy would have to compete with the glory and empire of the Napoleonic era Many French men were however 'war weary' Louis XVII made to appear weak and timid during the 100 days – fled – only to return under the protection of France's recent enemies
1818 Successes At the Congress of Aix La Chapelle – the first in Castlereagh's Congress system – Louis XVIII achieved a number of successes: 1. Army of occupation removed 2. Indemnity paid off 3. France given fill membership of the Quintuple Alliance and full congress membership – a great power again and back into the international fold
1823 and Spain In 1823 Louis XVIII sent French troops (with the support of the holy Alliance countries) to free King Ferdinand VII from the liberal rebels in Spain who had forced their King to accept a liberal constitution A quick victory for French forces and a sign perhaps of France's restored international status HOWEVER – lost support of the British through this action (Canning opposed intervention) and very little home support for appearing to support a despot abroad – especially annoyed supporters of the principles of constitutional monarchy
Charles X and the Barbary Pirates One major foreign policy event for Charles – a quick and significant victory against the 'Barbary pirates' in 1830 – Arab pirates form North Africa who had been disrupting western trade in the Mediterranean In the process Charles also secure the territory of Algiers for France which became a long term France colony Charles X expected support for these achievements which were significant – however received very little support and in fact may have weakened his own ability to resist the 1830 revolt which occurred whilst many troops were in Algiers 'building his empire'

Nzimande attended the Progressive Professionals Forum (PPF) in Midrand with Zuma today and lamented the fourth estate for what he says is the inadequate coverage of the countries successes.
The forum is celebrating its first anniversary and is being addressed by President Jacob Zuma and Nzimande.
Nzimande claims special emphasis is being placed on delegitimising Zuma in the public arena.
"President Zuma's achievements are enormous yet at the same time, he is subjected to such attacks by the media. There is a very big offensive against our government with the president as a special target."
The minister said the media is trying to bring about regime change in South Africa.
"There are sections of the media where they have told themselves that they want a regime change in this country and the president is the main target."

Tracy Lawrence's father, Duane Dickens, has died. The 83-year-old was surrounded by family when he passed at his home in Texarkana, Ark. on Wednesday morning (Aug. 31).
Multi-platinum CMA and ACM award winning recording artist Tracy Lawrence will perform in concert at Diamond Jacks Casino in Bossier City, La., on Friday, Feb. 12, 2016. This will almost be like a homecoming for the country music legend who hails from Foreman, Ark.

Summer heats up with Luke Bryan, Brett Eldredge and many more putting out new country music releases in August, 2013. Bryan will put 'Crash My Party' in stores on August 13. It's the second of four very busy Tuesdays.
It's difficult to label Tate Stevens' Friday Showdown win over Justin Moore's new song an upset. After all, the 'X Factor' winner proved he's a fan-favorite by winning the singing competition. The response to 'Power of a Love Song' is still impressive, however. Behind the strength of strong phone call voting, Stevens' debut single survived to find a new challenge today and tonight on Taste of Country Nights radio.
Don't tell Tracy Lawrence that you can't teach an old dog new tricks. The singer is gearing up for the release of a new album, and after a 20-year career, he says his new material is an artistic stretch for him, describing the production as "edgier" than past efforts.
Tracy Lawrence is set to make his full-length feature debut with 'L.A. Dirt,' which began filming in early June in Mobile, Ala. The movie will feature Lawrence in a supporting role, portraying the uncle of an aspiring 18-year-old dirt track racer. The plot will be centered around the young hopeful's pursuit of his racing dreams.
Well, You knew it was bound to happen sooner or later Foreman, Arkansas native Tracy Lawrence is set to have a starring role in a new movie.
There is a post at Billboard on an interview with our friend Tracy Lawrence discussing the 20th anniversary of his first #1 song "Sticks and Stones". In the interview he talks about those early days in his rise to stardom, and some of the mis-adventures he had with friends Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw.
Last week when Tracy Lawrence was in his hometown area getting ready for his concert at the Four States Fair, Tracy always takes the time to go visit local charity organizations that he's supportive of including Water Springs Ranch. Last Thursday, (September 15) he stopped by the Texarkana College campus, where he spoke to a group of students, including student organization members and scholarship winners.
Tracy Lawrence kicks off the 67th annual Four States Fair and Rodeo this Friday night and this morning he took a few minutes out of his BUSY schedule to chat with Scott and Lisa about the show and all of his current projects!

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Vanek Out With Upper Body Injury
by Paul on 10/14/09 at 10:22 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News,
Thomas Vanek left for good with 7:14 to play in the second period after scoring his second goal in the 6-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings. Coach Lindy Ruff revealed Vanek will miss several weeks with an undisclosed upper body injury.
Vanek slid hard into the end boards after scoring the goal on Derek Roy's third assist in a 4½-minute span, but Ruff said the injury actually occurred before that play. Television shots of Vanek on the bench before the shift showed Vanek grimacing while moving his neck/shoulder area.
Vanek's shoulder was not in a sling when he left the locker room about 40 minutes after the game was over, and he was believed to have undergone X-rays on his ribs.
"It was before the goal, when I collided with [former Sabre Brad] May," Vanek told The Buffalo News. "I went to hit him, and it happened there. I just finished the shift and felt it after. I knew right away and just tried to tough it out. After the shift, I just got it checked out."

If the GWENs were on commercial broadcast towers, but USAF equipment was
used, were the sites considered AF property, either owned or leased? If so
did they carry installation locator codes and were carried on installation

Anthony Cordesmann is a l-o-o-o-ng term Central Asia hand, with a particluar viewpoint on Iran, having served in country before the Shah fell ,IIRC. A career spook.
I clicked STRAIGHT on the page regarding Iran's intentions. Unsurprisingly, he makes no mention of the lost window of opportunity post 9/11:
Iran: You have our genuine sympathy. (and we weren't responsible) How can we help ?
USA: You are the Axis of Evil - walk North till ya hat floats.
keeps the quarters and dimes rolling in I suppose.....
Lee Shaver
Well, it says there's nowhere near enough troops, planes and money, and that the current government is useless. (That's him talking about Afghanistan, not the UK). Also says that some NATO members like France, Germany, Turkey, Spain and Italy are not providing fighting forces and that the Poles coming next year will be poorly equipped.
Well, it also says how to improve the situation, and what all the various hostile groups are about (in fact that is the majority of the report), but it all has to start with more troops on the ground.
What I liked was his comparison with Iraq:
Land Area: 432,162 sq km
Population: 26,783,383 people
Coalition Forces: ~162,000 people
Land Area: 647,500 sq km
Population: 31,056,947 people
Coalition Forces: ~32,000 people
That's five times less forces to control a country that is about a third bigger.

It is never a good idea to diagnose or treat a dog with a broken leg at home. Broken legs are serious and, if not treated properly, can put your dog's future mobility and even life in jeopardy. Most breaks happen through trauma. This can happen if your dog is hit by a car, falls or jumps from a high place. You may not even know your dog has had an accident. If you suspect a broken leg in your dog, consult your veterinarian right away.
Other People Are Reading
A broken leg in your dog can be serious. If left untreated, a broken leg can heal wrong or not heal at all, leaving your pet crippled for life. Broken legs can also lead to life-threatening complications like bacterial infections. If infection sets in that can lead to gang green. Gang green is when an infection moves into the blood stream. The prognosis is not good if your dog gets gang green. Not only can he lose the leg, but gang green is often fatal. Broken legs are painful and your dog will struggle to move.
Visible Signs
Some of the visible signs of a broken leg are not that much different in dogs than in people. You may notice swelling or bleeding. The leg will swell around the break. This could be minor swelling or swelling to the point the leg is unrecognisable as a leg. The trauma that caused the break may have left an open wound. Your dog may not be able to support her weight on the broken leg. She will hold it off the floor and hop around on three legs. The leg may appear visually misshapen or out-of-place.
Behavioural Signs
You might notice a change in your dog's behaviour. He may not want to be touched or petted. He may want to lay around and lick his leg. The leg may be numb, and your dog may not respond to stimuli like pinching or poking the leg. Your dog may become aggressive or snarly if you attempt to touch or move the leg.
A lot of people believe a broken leg can be detected by simply trying to bend the leg at the suspected break. The idea is that if the leg is broke the bone will "bend." That is not the case. In fact, most broken bones are fractures that do not go all the way through the bone. Attempting to bend the leg will not only be painful for your dog but you may make the fracture worse.
If your dog has had an accident, and you suspect a broken leg, call your veterinarian. The only way to truly diagnose a break or fracture is to have an X-ray. Trauma and broken legs can send your dog into shock. Shock can be fatal and needs immediate veterinary treatment. Symptoms of shock include white gums, rapid but weak pulse, rapid breathing and convulsions. If your dog displays any of these symptoms, get him to a veterinarian right away.

while jesus and the apostles were at the 'last supper' ,
so too would have been his enemies dining ; the death of jesus is presented as being almost a matter of course , we are not alerted enough about the real evil which would have opposed him ; the element of pure malevolence is not given enough credence in history !
it is worthwhile to trace the origins of christianity ; i found it essential in the face of a lifetime of patronising dogma and superficial hypocrisy . you'll find that jesus was educated by the essene monks by the dead sea whose ideas were being developed in alexandria , egypt since 100 yrs previous to that ; to have an historical perspective is to be closer to the reality of things – the story of jesus has always remained separate from history .
the irony would have been that it was judas et al who would have been getting conspired against and that history was later written as we now know it ; jesus , being the son of god is alive and well and living somewhere in the middle east ! that would have been a more favourable outcome , every raven has two heads !
i'm not an expert on anything , but i really did feel a need to arm myself against door to door christians
always demanding that i join their church ! i just don't talk to strangers any more , thankfully the law is on my side on that one . nowadays , with the reality of myriad bogus callers , an advantage is that you can 'just say no' to religious nuts also ! the mormons preceded these more suspicious types , we used to see them walking about paisley all the time when we were young in their cutomary long black coats – they are not remembered as having ever bothered anyone at all . there's been a mormon church in the scheme i grew up in since as long as i remember .
it is interesting to note that st valentine was one of the main figures in shaping what became christianity ; the central division at the time was between gnostics and orthodox , this led to the creation of two separate churches . christianity was introduced to ethiopia 250 yrs before europe .
it still remains a problem to me that the most evil of our kind are for the most part incoherent and illiterate , so how did they manage to write history then ?

"Brief History" is a mixed media collage using components of an old book. The book is a history of an Indianapolis German-English Independent school and was published in 1913. The collage was 'built' on watercolor paper and then adhered to a wood cradled board. This piece has a lot of textural elements from the book binding materials as well as cardboard pieces that were painted black. The book contained a few handwritten notes which I also included. Random splatters of ink and gold leaf completes the piece.

Ahhhh! It's back to school time! As much as I love summer vacation I really needed to get myself back on a schedule. We had such a fantastic summer visiting our family and friends in Pennsylvania. We did so many fun things and of course went my favorite place on earth, the beach! I hope you all had as great as a summer as I did!

Chicken Quinoa Enchilada Bake
I know, I know, I have yet another quinoa recipe. I bought this huge bag at Costco and I haven't even made a dent in it. Good thing the fam loves the stuff! Annnd it just so happens to be Cinco De Mayo next week so I was thinking Mexican.
This is an awesome week night recipe and leaves plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day. And my favorite part is I only used one pan for this dish! I have mentioned before how much I loooove my Lodge cast iron skillet, but it truly is one of my favorite pans. It's inexpensive, durable, and goes from stove top to oven.
Back to the Enchilada Bake… The recipe is pretty basic so feel free to add any of your favorite toppings!
- 1 cup quinoa, cooked according to package directions
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 sweet pepper, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 lb chicken, cut into bit sized pieces
- 2 cups enchilada sauce
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
- Optional Toppings
- diced avocado
- diced tomatos or salsa
- green onion
- cilantro
- greek yogurt
- jalapeño peppers
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large skillet heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium high heat. Add diced onions and peppers and sauté for about 3 minutes.
- Add minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, and chicken. Saute until chicken is cooked and not longer pink about 8 minutes.
- Add cooked quinoa and enchilada sauce and mix until combined. If you have a oven proof skillet top with cheese and bake for about 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. If you do not have an oven proof skillet and mixture to a lightly greased casserole dish, top with cheese and bake.
Sriracha Chicken Quinoa Bowl
I have a confession to make… I am obsessed with Sriracha sauce. There, I said it! I love it! I can't get enough of it! In fact I am eating it on my eggs right now. And I can't wait to eat it again for lunch because I have this delicious dish leftover from last night 🙂
Well this probably one of the best dinners I have made in awhile and it seriously took me about 15 minutes to make!
Caprese Quinoa Salad with Spinach Pesto
I love caprese anything! Especially this time of year when tomatoes and fresh basil are at their peak.
Black Bean Mango Quinoa Salad
Happy Cinco de Mayo! With warmer weather approaching I love to add a fresh, easy salad to our meals. This quinoa salad makes a perfect side to just about anything you throw on the grill. It's also a great dish to take to a picnic. Make it the night before and the flavors combine perfectly.
And for the best part, my 5 year old daughter gave it two thumbs up.
Mexican Egg and Quinoa Muffins
Keeping with the Cinco de Mayo theme… I give you Mexican Egg and Quinoa Muffins!
I just love to make all kinds of things in my muffin pan. These muffins are so darn good I just had to share. Not only are they super easy to make, they're good for you too.
Quinoa Black Bean Quesadillas
I totally made this recipe by accident and I'm so glad I did! I was originally planning on making tacos with this recipe but I couldn't get the tortillas to cooperate for the photos. Hmmm, what to do? Then it struck me… Quesadillas!
It was Sunday afternoon and we had a day full of projects, so this made the perfect quick and healthy lunch. My 5 year old loved them and ended up eating more of these than I did.
Super busy during the week? Make the quinoa mixture ahead of time and then assemble the quesadillas for a quick week night dinner. The mixture also works with tacos or a burrito if you prefer.
- ½ cup quinoa, cooked
- ¼ cup onion, diced
- ½ jalapeno pepper, diced or more for added heat
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- ½ teaspoon chili powder Package of whole wheat flour tortillas
- Fresh cilantro, Greek yogurt, sliced avocado, salsa, shredded cheese, or any of your favorite toppings!
- Cook quinoa according to package directions.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet. Sauté onion and jalapeno pepper for 3 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add cooked quinoa, black beans, diced tomatoes, and chili powder to the sautéed veggies. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside
- Heat ½ tablespoon of oil in another skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium high heat.
- Place tortilla in the skillet and spread about a ¼ cup of the quinoa mixture over the tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese, optional, and top with another tortilla. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until brown, and flip.
- Cook for a few more minutes, until that side is brown.
- Cut into pieces and serve with your favorite quesadilla toppings.
Quinoa Pizza Bites
Did I ever mention that I'm a snacker? Alright, a huge snacker! I like to think it's because I exercise a lot and work up an appetite, but no, I really just love to eat. Since I am constantly snacking on something I need to make sure it is healthy, and these quinoa pizza bites do the trick. You can add any of your favorite pizza toppings, which makes these a great appetizer for parties.
- 1 cup quinoa, cooked
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese, save extra for topping handful fresh basil, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Pre heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
- Cook quinoa according to package directions, let cool for a few minutes.
- In a large bowl combine all ingredients and mix well.
- Scoop into muffin pan and press until flat on top.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until nice and brown. Take out of oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes before removing from the muffin pan, otherwise they will fall apart.
- Top with fresh grated parmesan cheese and serve with side of warm marinara sauce.
Vegetarian Quinoa Chili
Don't let being a vegetarian keep you from eating chili this winter. Quinoa is a great healthy alternative.
- 1/2 cup quinoa, cooked
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, diced
- 1 large carrot, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 3/4 cup of corn
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 3 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
- 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 2-3 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Cook quinoa according to package directions and set aside.
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, jalapeño, carrot, celery, peppers, and zucchini. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Add the black beans, kidney beans, tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Stir in the cooked quinoa. Season with chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Simmer chili on low for about 30 minutes. Top with cheese, cilantro, greek yogurt, or avocado slices.

Over the course of the semester, we have read some challenging texts which present theories of how society and culture work at certain times. Dick Hebdige, in particular, describes two different theories: Modernism and Postmodernism. His article is an attempt to answer the question: What is Postmodernism? As Hebdege himself, notes, however, his article answers this in many ways but is not definitive. He even speaks of the meandering nature of his article and its inability to provide a clear answer to his question:
"What follows is an attempt to re-present my own ambivalence vis-a-vis the prospect(s) of the Post: to engage with some of the issues raised in debates on postmodernism, to cruise the text of postmodernism without forfeiting the possibility of another place, other positions, other scenarios, different languages. In what I take to be the postmodern spirit, I shall try to reproduce on paper the flow and grain of television discourse switching back and forth between different channels." (Hebdige 332-333)
Where would you challenge Hebdige's view of Postmodernism or Modernism? Where do you think he needs to be more clear in his argument? What use (if at all) is his engagement with these themes? In your response to one or more of these questions, please provide evidence from his text. You are welcome to pose questions about his text as well and/or respond to the questions of a classmate, if you think they are substantive and need to be addressed.

Birmingham Jug Band
Of all the jug bands of the '20s and '30s, the Birmingham band had one of the most distinctive sounds on record, though their repertoire was significantly less diverse than that of groups like the Memphis Jug Band or Cannon's Jug Stompers. Probably the only full jug band from south of Memphis to record, the group had a more rural sound than its contemporaries, reflecting the aesthetics of the country string band as much as the popular jug band. The group's eight recordings are characterized by a prominent lead mandolin and equally prominent harmonica; gruff, heavy vocals; and a throbbing rhythm enforced largely by the insistently pounding jug. Also recording in the same Atlanta studio that day was King David's Jug Band, another little-documented group; together, these two outfits produced some of the liveliest and most intriguing records from the height of the jug band era. ~ Burgin Mathews

AAA Toledo Mud Hens –COLUMBUS 8, TOLEDO 5
25-24, 3rd in West division
Columbus got to 'Hens starter Dennis Tankersley early and often, and in turn cruised to an 8-5 victory. Tankersley gave up seven runs, all earned, in three-plus innings of work. Jeremy Johnson came on to stop the bleeding, giving up just one run over five innings, but the damage had already been done. Almost all of the 'Hens offense came from the top of the order, where Kevin Hooper, Chris Shelton and Timo Perez combined for seven hits. Cleanup hitter Ryan Raburn also drove in two. On Sunday, RHP Yorman Bazardo (2-3, 4.21) is scheduled to take the mound at 6:30pm.

AA Erie SeaWolves – AKRON 3, ERIE 1

Matt Righter kept the SeaWolves close allowing only one hit in the final three innings. Jackson Melian stayed hot at the plate going 3-for-4 with a solo home run for the only SeaWolves run. The SeaWolves will take on Akron again Sunday at 2:05 p.m. RHP Eddie Bonine (4-1, 2.73 ERA) will take the mound for Erie and the Aeros will send LHP Shawn Nottingham (4-2, 2.49 ERA) to mound.

A West Mich. Whitecaps –FT. WAYNE 8, W. MICH. 7
25-21, 2nd in Eastern division
Seven West Michigan runs in the first three innings was not enough to give the Whitecaps a victory in Saturday's game versus Fort Wayne as they lost to the Wizards 8-7. Ryan Strieby led the early offense with an RBI double in the first and a three run home run in the second, part of an evening that included three hits, two runs scored and four RBI. Starter Jonah Nickerson (3-4, 4.67 ERA) went five innings and allowed four earned runs on eight hits and two walks, but was still in line for the win before Lauren Gagnier (2-6, 6.24 ERA) gave up four earned run in the sixth on three walks, three wild pitches and three singles to take the loss. The Whitecaps return to Fifth Third Ballpark Sunday as they host Fort Wayne at 2 p.m.

Production Patterns of Multinational Firms: Horizontal and Vertical Multinationals with Traded Intermediates
One of the key factors behind the growth in global trade in recent decades is an increase in intermediate input as a result of the development of vertical production networks. It is widely recognized that the formation of production networks is due to an expansion in the activities of multinational enterprises (MNEs). Developing economies have benefitted from the development of vertical production networks, as the networks enable them to install appropriate portions of the production stages. This study aims to clarify the requirements of attracting MNEs for developing countries by using an extension model of Zhang and Markusen [1999] under a numerical general equilibrium framework, and to empirically test the validity of those requirements.

Cleveland Cavaliers (8-31) at Denver Nuggets (22-16)
Time: 9 p.m., Venue: Pepsi Center, TV/Radio: FS Ohio/WAKR
Cavs probable starters: PG Mo Williams, SG Manny Harris, SF Alonzo Gee, PF Antawn Jamison, C J.J. Hickson
Nuggets probable starters: PG Chauncey Billups, SG Aaron Affalo, SF Carmelo Anthony, PF Kenyon Martin, C Nene
Officials: Tom Washington, Tony Brown, David Guthrie
Injury report: Cavs -- Daniel Gibson (ankle) out, Anthony Parker (back) out, Anderson Varejao (ankle) out, Christian Eyenga (ankle) out, Joey Graham (quad) out, Leon Powe (knee) out; Nuggets -- F/C Chris Andersen (knee) out.
* The Cavs have dropped 12 straight and 22 of 23. Their margin of defeat during this current skid is about 15 points per game. They've lost 18 in a row on the road and haven't won away from the Q since Nov. 9. And on and on and on.
* J.J. Hickson is still looking for that consistency. After having an awful game against the Lakers, Hickson managed 14 rebounds against the Nuggets. But he also turned it over nine times, which didn't sit well with Byron Scott. But at least lately, he's been showing signs of putting it all together.
* I'm not sure what the Cavs can do with Mo Williams, but I'm not sure running him out there every night is the right idea anymore. If Daniel Gibson returns Wednesday, as expected, Williams may have to sit down for a couple of games to give his body a chance to heal. Yes, Williams is an emotional player. Yes, he is having a hard time with all of the losing. But I can't believe those are the reasons why his shooting has been so awful this season. He is well below his career averages and the only logical excuse is all the leg injuries.
* The Nuggets have played really, really well their last two games despite the Carmelo Anthony daily drama. They've scored at least 130 points in each of their last two games and just might do it again. The Cavs are coming off a back-to-back of a miserable trip and just trying to get home. I don't think this will be another 55-point loss, but it could get ugly fairly quickly.
* Over his last four games, Denver center Nene is shooting 71 percent from the floor (22 of 31). Chauncey Billups, who could be headed with Anthony to the Nets, had a season-high 13 assists Thursday against the Heat.

There is an old German proverb which suggests that "truth has a handsome countenance but torn garments". This is as accurate as it ever was; and in Britain today, in the rough-and-tumble worlds of politics and the press, there are many who feel it's about time truth was taken by the hand and frogmarched to the nearest tailor.
Buried deep in a recent column in The Observer, Will Hutton observed that the public is the victim of postmodern journalism and postmodern politicians reacting to and creating their own subjective "truths". Hutton was referring to political spin and that given by papers to stories about asylum-seekers and the ills of the National Health Service, but for the press the argument holds good with the reporting of potential political dynamite, such as David Blunkett's private life.
With this story, most papers behaved with commendable and unaccustomed restraint - a smart move dictated, I suspect, by Blunkett's national popularity. But, predictably, there were papers that jettisoned objectivity, and therefore the truth, as soon as the story was catapulted beyond the confines of the Home Secretary's affair with the married Kimberly Quinn and the issue over their issue.
Whether the Home Secretary has been telling the truth may be determined by Sir Alan Budd in a report that could take politics further down the potholed road to Hutton's postmodernism. But whatever Sir Alan's conclusions, a Daily Mail editorial and, alongside, a diatribe by Simon Heffer strayed far from the evidence the paper had produced in castigating the Prime Minister for "abandoning any pretence of moral leadership". It was a preposterous jump from Home Office documents unearthed by the paper - another journalistic coup following The Sunday Telegraph's original revelations - to blaming Tony Blair for a "moral vacuum" in the Labour ranks, especially as lovelorn Blunkett's behaviour hardly registers on the Richter scale of spectacular moral deficiencies displayed in the past by politicians of all parties.
The Sun, gentle with the Home Secretary in its comment columns, let Richard Littlejohn off his leash; yet all in all the truth did not take the kind of battering critics of the press might have expected. Where the story has been rather more significant is in muting the calls for the introduction of some kind of privacy safeguards for potential victims of the red-tops' red mist and other journalistic excesses.
Without the exposure in the News of the World and The Sun of Blunkett's romantic entanglement, the possible misuse of ministerial influence and public money would almost certainly not have emerged. Anyway, as Martin Kettle observed in The Guardian, the way people conduct their private lives tells us things that can help in making judgements about them in their public roles. Even Kettle, usually a severe critic of what he believes to be increasing press irresponsibility, has recognised that decisions on whether or not to invade personal privacy have to be made by newspapers frequently and at speed. Mistakes sometimes happen.
This newspaper has great reservations about invasion of privacy and the reporting of what it considers tittle-tattle about the peccadilloes of public figures, and I respect this. Personally I believe that the public has the right to know almost everything - just as long as publication does not compromise national security or public safety, or endanger the well-being of innocent parties, such as children. But I do also believe that newspapers should report the truth to the best of their ability and resist implanting irresponsible points of view, usually dictated by political bias, in the minds of readers.
Another old saw tells us that the truth never hurt anybody. That's patently wrong, but no reason not to stick to it.
Poor circulation: it's a disease
An early Christmas present for the newspaper industry of the kind it will wish to return immediately to the store is a survey of UK titles conducted by Citigroup Global Markets. Among the gift-wrapped bad news this offers is the revelation that circulations have been in decline ever since 1984, with the exceptions only of 1987-88 and 1994-95, when News International slashed the cover prices of The Times and The Sun in an effort to incapacitate the rest of the market.
The policy did no more than briefly interrupt the wasting disease that has spread through the national press like a virus over the past 20 years. Bouts of discounting aside, the mass market has drifted steadily downwards. The mid-market has suffered less, mainly because of the readership growth of the Daily Mail, but the survey points out that the Mail is now 7.1 per cent adrift of its highest sales period. Its golden age, when it damaged the Daily Express close to the point of hospitalisation while challenging the quality end of the market, is over and Associated, having invested heavily in new presses, is concentrating on advertising rather than circulation growth.
Meanwhile, sales of the "qualities" have actually increased although, disturbingly, collective sales peaked seven years ago and have been slipping ever since.
The survey concludes that pressures from free newspapers, such as Metro, competition from the internet and the increased availability of multi-channel TV mean that overall circulations will continue to drop. So a happy new year's out, too.

Settling in at 'home' again? Is a crime imminent, or has one already happened?
This is the second in my Crime Shorts series. 'Homed' is the story of a boy being 'helped' to settle in a civilised manner. I had in mind the Australian disgust when they built standard homes for aborigines and then found that understanding and use of sanitation and housekeeping did not come automatically with the facilities provided.
We have to be inside the head of our characters when writing fiction. Even more so, perhaps, when we are 'in the helping professions.'
There are crimes motivated by negative emotions: jealousy, anger, need to control/overpower. There are also crimes perpetrated by ignorance. The crimes we may feel most are those that penetrate our individuality. Blind kindness, adherence to established process, bureaucracy – these can lead to damage also.
Read this story and decide where the crime lies.

Travelling like a Parisian
Traveling - Fun Filled education
Singapore Malaysia- The city's of Paradise
Travelling My Drug of Choice
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who on Wednesday took the decision that VIP vehicles should do away with red beacons, said "Every Indian is a VIP".
Seeking to end the VIP culture, the Union Cabinet today decided that beacon lights will be removed from all vehicles, except emergency vehicles, like ambulances and fire brigade.
The vehicles with beacon lights, which are seen as a symbol of VIP culture, "have no place in a democratic country", the government said.
"After May 1, no one will be able to put red light atop his/her vehicle. Blue light will be used only for emergency vehicles in the country...Neither the states nor the Centre will have power to give any special permission (for use of beacon lights)," Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said after the Cabinet meeting.
He said the use of red beacons atop vehicles has been a matter of discussion and debates for long as to why certain people have special privileges on road.
The matter was under discussion for some time and "the Prime Minister took the decision and informed the Cabinet," Jaitley said, adding amendments will be made soon in the Central Motor Vehicles Rules to give effect to the decision.
A rule that empowers the Centre or state governments to allow use of red beacon lights to dignitaries will be altogether removed from the statute books, the minister said.
"There will be no exception for anyone. The reason is very clear that the rule itself is being removed from the rule book," he added.
Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari was the first Union Minister who took the red beacon off his official vehicle immediately after the Cabinet meeting.
Gadkari said "this government is a government of masses and has decided to abolish VIP culture of beacon lights and sirens".
The decision, he said, was taken to strengthen "healthy democratic values" in the country.
"The government is of the considered opinion that beacons on vehicles are perceived symbols of VIP culture and have no place in a democratic country. They have no relevance whatsoever," Gadkari reasoned.
Beacons, however, will be allowed on vehicles concerning emergency and relief services, ambulance, fire service etc. In light of the decision, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways will make necessary provisions in law.
According to Gadkari, this is the start of a healthy culture and tradition as blaring of sirens and blazing of beacons used to anger the masses.
In several states, even MLAs blatantly used beacon lights, he said, adding that some of them had the practice of using detachable beacons.
He further said the use of sirens by ministers is not legal as these can be used only by pilot police vehicles.
Asked what will be the punitive measures in case of violations, the minister said action will be taken as per provisions in the law.
He said a detailed notification in this regard will be issued soon and there is no need for any amendment in the Motor Vehicles Act.
"We can issue the notification under respective rules and before that, a notice will be issued for public hearing," he said.
Mr Modi when will you shut the mouth of Cow Rakshak people who are killing innocent people in the name of Hindutwa.
To make stupid bhakts rejoice its another Jumla from FEKU.
what? you are gonna remove the redlight from my vehicle? do you know whose son/daughter/wife/husband/father/mother/brother/sister/relative I am....The light can be removed but the human behavior will last till eternity
I respect Modi Ji.
VIP Indians are killed in the name of cow. I will not open my motor mouth then.
Another jumla.By the way for this stupid reason USA/Australia/ New Zealand and many gulf countries are kicking Indians out.
Very Good decision ....All are equal in this regard except emergencies.Bring equality everywhere, no need for any relaxation based on cast or creed. But of course, physically and mentally challenged people need our hand.To be frank, I was not fare to Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi, but now I feel that I am becoming his fan when seeing all these good deeds.
Sounds great, hope it's implemented.
Brave decision !!!

Beautiful Hotel in the centre of Vila Seca - pedestrian part of town very attractive area. Did not have a car but easy walking from train station buses available to visit Cambrils Reus and Salou if desired. Given a wonderful room with outside terrace on the 3rd floor. Needed help from reception and dealt with wonderfully by "Annie" She was superb! Will go again !Comentário de S. Christopher, Reino Unido the 23/09/2016
"Excellent tucked away hotel"
A lovely hotel which has one of the best customer service around. Located in quaint streets away from all the hustle and bustle, this hotel is amazing value for money. The rooms are clean and the balcony is large with a sun lounger and table and chairs set. Highly recommended if you are looking for a relaxed and peaceful break.
"Highly recommended - despite some location difficulties"
Not easy to find and situated right in the middle of narrow town streets - but certainly worth the effort. Best advice is to find the hotel, go to the reception and ask for a map and directions to locate their underground car park (charge of €10 for this facility). You then travel back around the streets until you find the roller-shuttered entrance to the car park. It is a bit 'hairy' entering and leaving the car park but we have a large vehicle and managed to get in and out without any scrapes! Hotel is very nice, room and shower room very contemporary, clean and large. Breakfast (buffet style) was included in the price and was truly excellent with a huge variation of dishes available. The restaurant was 'open to the street' via folding glass doors on one side and very pleasant. Would definitely stay here again.
"Lovely modern hotel in older part of town"
The hotel can be a bit tricky to find and has underground parking that is a bit of a challenge to get into ((ery tight turn). Parking costs 10 euros per day. The staff were extremely helpful providing maps of local area and a suggestion for a local restaurant. The room was modern and spacious in keeping with the rest of the hotel.
"Need to improve some little things"
Excellent hotel, NEW, nice, clean and with helpfull staff. Wi-fi better than usually. Good and complete breakfast nice at first sight allways like a picture. Sweets, ibèric foot, salmon,... Improve: No cleaning brush in room toiletes. Not nice if you don't travel alone. Some noise from neighbourgs. Not soundproof enough. Narrow parquing ramp, you may sweat coming in and out. Troubles: Check out inefficient. You as a customer must work and search in your email the bill, they don't know if you payed an advance. I hope they'll solve in the future. A great staff with bad software access.
"Good impression"
I came yesterday at 19:00 and the type of room we booked was already taken, Ignasi from the reception offered us a very good solution. That's exactly what customers expect from the service. Never The less, they could addmore queen beds and less single beds attached. The hotel is nice, good design & good price.

Ethics commissioner Marguerite Trussler made a pair of written recommendations to the Provincial Government Tuesday. The first was to extend the cooling off period that a cabinet minister has to wait before taking a role in a private firm from one year to two. The second was to drop the cap limit on the value of hospitality gifts from lobbyists to MLAs from $400 to $100 in value. Trussler says that 75% of the calls to her office from MLAs are in regards to whether or not they can accept a certain gift from a lobbyist. In her recommendation she writes, "Directly excluding giving of more expensive gifts by lobbyists would go a long ways towards reducing perceptions that members are being, or are able to be, influenced by lobbyists."
Trussler says her proposed $100 cap would still allow for "meet and greet" events followed by a meal, adding, "For the most part, lobbyists seeking the attention of individual members should be meeting with them in their offices."
Former Deputy Premier Thomas Lukaszuk says his advice for new MLA's is to disclose everything in order to avoid the appearance of impropriety. He says the $100 cap is a good idea, provided the ethics commissioner is prepared to make exceptions on a case by case basis.
"Sometimes MLAs are invited to events where we want them to be there on behalf of government. It's important that they participate and the value may be actually more than $100.00. So, as long as she has latitude and gives them exceptions, I think that it's a pretty good, transparent rule."
Lukaszuk says he has concerns about extending the cooling off period for cabinet ministers before taking a role with private industry. He says going two years without gainful employment would be a hardship for anyone, former ministers included.
"MLAs right now in Alberta have no pensions whatsoever, and they no longer have transitional allowance. So when a cabinet minister leaves, either by choice or gets voted out, he or she or any MLA will not have anything at the end of the day."
That's not the worst of it, thought. Lukaszuk says adopting a two year cooling off period would shut the door to cabinet to all but the wealthy.
"Because they will be the only ones who could afford to live without any income for two years. I think it needs some thinking because it could become very problematic. The fact is that you simply cannot deprive a retired MLA of being able to earn a livelihood. Yes, there should be conflict parameters put around, but to simply give them a cooling off period for two years and not putting in some kind of transitional allowance that would allow them to live for those two years would make politics a very exclusive profession for only those who can afford to do that."
Trussler writes, "A one-year cooling-off period is too short as former ministers still have considerable contacts and influence within their former departments." She also says that during the cooling off period a former MLA should vet all job offers through the office of the ethics commissioner. She also wants broader latitude when it comes to notifying the public when they're performing an investigation, and why.

This volume in the landmark Oxford History of the Laws of England series spans three centuries that encompassed the tumultuous years of the Norman conquest, and during which the common law as we know it today began to emerge.
The first full-length treatment of all aspects of the early development of the English common law in a century, featuring extensive research into the original sources that bring the era to life, and providing an interpretative account, a detailed subject analysis, and fascinating glimpses into medieval disputes.
Starting with King Alfred (871-899), this book examines the particular contributions of the Anglo-Saxon period to the development of English law, including the development of a powerful machinery of royal government, significant aspects of a long-lasting court structure, and important elements of law relating to theft and violence. Until the reign of King Stephen (1135-54), these Anglo-Saxon contributions were maintained by the Norman rulers, whilst the Conquest of 1066 led to the development of key aspects of landholding that were to have a continuing effect on the emerging common law.
The Angevin period saw the establishment of more routine royal administration of justice, closer links between central government and individuals in the localities, and growing bureaucratization. Finally, the later twelfth and earlier thirteenth century saw influential changes in legal expertise. The book concludes with the rebellion against King John in 1215 and the production of the Magna Carta.
Laying out in exhaustive detail the origins of the English common law through the ninth to the early thirteenth centuries, this book will be essential reading for all legal historians and a vital work of reference for academics, students, and practitioners.

Car kills leftist Mexican leader
Click to follow
MEXICO CITY - An opposition leader in the central state of Puebla was killed when a car hit him as he did his morning exercises. Gabino Aparicio, a local leader of the leftist Democratic Revolution Party (PRD), was knocked over on Saturday morning and later died in hospital, a PRD spokesman said. The death came five days after the PRD candidate for governor in the 21 August elections in the state of Chiapas, Amado Avendano, was seriously injured when a truck hit his car. Reuter
