William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, today announced plans to publish a book by eight-time NBA All-Star Dwyane Wade. Wade, a current co-captain and top scorer for the Miami HEAT, will share insights on his life both on-and off- the court, with a large focus on fatherhood, a topic of deep personal significance.
In A FATHER FIRST: How My Life Became Bigger than Basketball, Wade will reveal his thoughts on fatherhood, detailing his personal experiences as a parent, and tracing his transformation from being the child of a single parent, to now serving as one himself.
In March 2011, in a landmark legal decision, Wade earned sole custody of his two young sons, effectively setting a new precedent for professional male athletes. Most recently, Dwyane teamed up with President Barack Obama to support his Fatherhood & Mentoring Initiative, a national parenting program geared toward encouraging fathers to become more involved in the lives of their children.
"As a child, I grew up with aspirations to one day be a professional basketball player, and I am living that dream every day as a proud member of the Miami HEAT," said Wade. "However, the daily role I play in the lives of my two children is the single most significant undertaking of my life, and the job I take most seriously. While my basketball career has brought me many rewards – including an NBA Championship in 2006 and an Olympic Gold Medal in the 2008 Summer Games, my children are the two greatest gifts of my life."
The book will also feature highlights from Wade's phenomenal basketball career — from his early days shooting hoops in Chicago, to training at Marquette University, to emerging as an unheralded draft pick to receiving MVP honors in the 2006 NBA Finals. In a narrative that spans two generations of the Wade family, Wade's book encourages parents to lead by example and make being a caregiver the top priority.
"We are thrilled and honored to publish Dwyane's book," said Henry Ferris, Vice President, Executive Editor at William Morrow. "He has an extremely important story and message about the role of fathers in children's lives. And his career in the NBA is also a phenomenal and exciting story."

My creativeLIVE Studio Lighting Schedule & Material :: 'ish
I really did start my studio on the streets. As seen in the photo above.
Update – Thank you one and all for those who worked so hard behind the scenes and those thousands and thousands of you who tuned into the live event! More to come!
As we get closer to this weekend's creativeLIVE studio class I wanted to go ahead and share the rough time frame and course material for the weekend.
There are a lot of things I want to cover in this class and I know I'm going to run out of time at some point. That's why we have spread this out over a weekend. As far as subjects we will be photographing go we are going to be working with emerging models, musicians, and regular folks off the street.
Keep a few things in mind… This is live Internet we are dealing with so all sorts of things can go astray but rest assured there is a full pro crew behind the scenes ready for anything the internet can throw at them. The times listed below are approximate aside from start times. Keep an eye on my Twitter account as the weekend goes on. We will be updating events there. IE : "Going to start shooting the band in 30 minutes." "Almost done with lunch. Going live in 10." "Talking about grip right now." You get the idea. I have a basic outline in my head of what I want to do but I'll be working in a new space and may change things here and there as I go but always teaching why I'm changing things and what's going through my head as I try something different.
All start times are PDT (or -8 GMT)
Friday June 11th – 1:30pm – 4:30pm'ish / 5:30pm'ish • My personal philosophy of having a studio space • Considerations for getting a space of your own or turning a space you have into a studio space. • The basics of exposure when using flash in studio. We will be using hotshoe flashes and strobes. • Working with multiple lights and working with different lighting ratios • Using a light meter and how to figure it out on the fly without a meter • Overview of the modifiers we will be using over the weekend. Those include… ••• Straight flash ••• Umbrellas ••• Softboxes ••• Octabanks ••• Beauty dish ••• Ring flash ••• Grids ••• Flags/Silks/Reflectors ••• DIY modifiers • Q&A
Saturday June 12th :: 10am – 1pm'ish • The many uses of white seamless. I'll be walking you through the entire process of shooting on a white seamless and getting the most out of one simple background • Post production on the white seamless • Q&A • (lunch break somewhere between 1pm and 2pm.) • Building a set. It will already be in place. I'll just talk about the basic modular set pieces that went into making it. • Grip equipment. How to put stuff together and do stuff with that stuff. • Slowly moving away from the seamless and onto other background choices. IE: Fabric/Walls/Sets • Working with subjects. Interaction and Posing. (I've had a lot of questions about this so I'm spending a lot of time on it.) • Musicians. Duo and Trio. Group shots plus individuals. White seamless and other backgrounds + a simple set. • Q&A • In order to conclude in time to rebroadcast over night we can only teach for 10 hours a day. So the latest this day will run is 8pm. Don't know if it will go that long or not.
Sunday June 13th :: 10am • Quick recap of previous day and previous information about exposure. Not going to spend a lot of time on this but just a quick recap for those just joining. • If I don't cover the grip equipment on Saturday I'll most likely do that Sunday morning. • Art Direction! I will be pulling people from the live audience and giving them assignments to see what problems they run into and guide them through the process. • More shooting. Different modifiers. Improv. • Q&A • (lunch break somewhere between 1pm and 2pm.) • Working with a four piece band. Individuals and group shot. • More shooting. Whatever we decide to do making sure I've used all the modifiers from the list above. • Q&A
I will be online live with Chase Jarvis tomorrow, June 9th, from 1:30pm till 3pm for a live Q&A leading up to the weekend. If I haven't covered something in the notes above then hit me here in the comment section or tune in here tomorrow and ask while we are online.
You can sign up for the class here and see all the swag we have to give away during the weekend! We have stuff from B&H, x•rite, Pocket Wizard, Westcott, and Sekonic in addition to several copies of the OneLight DVD. Big thanks to B&H, The MAC Group, and Westcott for really bringing the goods. No t-shirts or ball caps in this prize closet. Also a big thank you goes to Affix Music for providing us with some licensed and cleared tunes to listen to while we work this weekend.
Questions about the class or something you might want to see covered? Drop them in the comments.
Cheers, Zack
I'm sure I speak for a lot of people when I say we really do appreciate this!
I can't wait to see what I learn from watching this, and I'm even more anxious to put it into practice on my own!
Thanks for taking the time to dole out what looks like a ton of great useful knowledge!!
Really looking forward to this Zack. I guess my question is this. I often find myself shooting a subject in a space like a living room or something of a similar size. I want big soft light. Big soft light in a small space goes everywhere. Even the 60″ reflective closed down goes everywhere. I think the answer lies with a gridded softbox perhaps but I would be most appreciative if you could cover techniques for achieving big soft light look in tight(ish) spaces but with control. I should add that I would also like to do it using strobes and not hotshoe flashes. Why? I'm finding the hotshoe flashes to be little unreliable; they don't always fire (they are 580EX II's!).
Thanks mate!
If this turns out half as good as I think it will, then it is going to take precedence over the football world cup!
One topic I would like to see addressed is the problem of minimizing light bouncing around the white walls in a studio. Should I hang black velvet on one wall, work with the lowest possible settings on my flashes, put my lights as close to the subject as possible, keep my model as far away from the white wall, etc, etc?
Great material, I can hardly wait!
Just one question: do you know when the rebroadcast starts?
Abraxas – Not sure when the re-broadcast will start. We will twitter about it to get the word out.
First of all A HUGE amount of thanks goes out to yourself and Mr. Jarvis. What Mr. Jarvis is doing is awsome and you are just makeing it EVEN MORE awsome. I have two questions,
A: How does one go about getting the download after the shenanigans are done?
B: Are there any good refrences you suggest for how to position your clients?(Head tilts, chin lifts ect. Im in a marine and im haveing a hard time breaking the "the one and only way" mind set.)
Philip Jared.
@Kjell – Great question. I'll answer that during the course.
Thanks to all, for this great oportunity. I only have one question:
If will any chance to download a video(s) with the class?… I only ask, because i won't be abble to watch it live on Sunday.
Thanks again Zack, you're great.
Ok, you alredy answer my cuestion… thanks…
My schedule looks like I'm going to wind up having to buy it. =(
I'll be in ATL on Sunday. Want me to drop by and feed the dog and water the plants? =D
I registered to attend the live event, and got so excited talking about it (I even opened a Twitter account JUST to talk about it – and be eligible for prizes!) that I decided I'd better buy the video so I can review it again at my leisure!!! I'm a definite newbie, and my initial needs are to be able to do a product shoot for small items (beauty stuff – lotions, salts, soaps, lip balms etc.) and light it so that I have that professional white background. I've got a Canon T1i with three lenses – a 55-250mm f/4-5.6, an 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 and a 50mm f/1.8 — and I have a paper background, tripod etc. — just trying to figure out what lens would be the best to do this kind of shoot with!! I am SO psyched!!!
with this workshop i can have my cake and eat it too!
yahoo, for zack!
thanks, I've been dying to be apart of your workshops and can't wait to learn!
okay. i'll stop now.
Freakin Awesome! Can't wait!
Phillip – You can pre-order the class for $79 through the weekend. It'll be $129 after the weekend.
So excited for this I can hardly wait Thank you for doing this.
I'll be joining in on Saturday morning (18 hours ahead of you here ;), but have to leave halfway through for Japan, bummer right 😉
Believe me, I will be downloading the rest when I get back!
Thanks again for putting so much hard work into this.
I'll be in Serbia over the weekend but will be firing up my download as soon as its available when I return. I do a lot of portraiture on black (as opposed to the clean high key more modern look)and was wondering if you have a preferred light set up (Rembrandt springs to mind) for that type of image or the background has a minor significance in so far as the main subject has to be lit dynamically whatever the background may be?
Erm….hope that wasn't too rambling there.
Zack, have a great event on the weekend….I'm certain it'll be a blast!
Hey Zack. I'll be out of town this weekend so I can't watch it live. I was wondering about buying it but I already have the One Light DVD. Do you think there will be enough additional information to make it worth it? Thanks!
Zack, you say always light the eyes, I agree, but I'm finding it difficult sometimes if I want to put my main light up high pointing down at a sharp angle or off to the side.
My question is please give us some tips on getting light into the eyes without having to compromise on where we can put our lights to get the shadows and mood that we want. It's not always possible to hold a reflector under someone's chin if you're doing a 3/4 length shot.
Hi Zack,
When would be the repeat telecast, since am from India. I dont mind staying awake the whole nite (i think in India it would be around 2 am Sat), but just in case would be great to know about the re-run. Thanks. U Rock!!!
Great stuff – was worried it might overlap some of the OneLight or Strobist 101 type stuff but I think there's a lot of other info here.
Wonder if you could touch on how to work with black seamless. I've switched to softboxes, grids, and tried to use the law of inverse squares to my advantage (lights close to subject, both as far away as possible from the background — but in a smallish space, still finding it hard to keep black…black. At least without hacking it out in post.
hi Zack, you mentioned in your car-dealer vid, that there'll be a rebroadcast for Asia/Australia: When will that be going up? cheers
I'd like to see you photographing a toddler – just for the fun of it. All that stuff on the One Light DVD about telling the model to stand in a certain spot and just tilt their head up a little bit doesn't really work with 2 year olds
Thanks so much for the free weekend. Looking forward to more great info.
Just getting started, and would love info on working in small spaces, too.
Looking forward to this – thank you!
Regarding the pic above… How did you keep the backdrop so straight and the light stand from sliding with ground on such a slope…. Jk… How's the 365 day project coming along… Are you & Meg still working out… Setting goals are hard and sticking to them are even harder.. I live them everyday….. Cheers…
Realy looking forward to this, will try and catch some online but have bought the downloads anyway. Good luck (not that you need it) and have fun.
Is that a Gangster Lean I see going on in that photo?! Yes! Yes it is! :p
Anyway, I can't wait for this workshop. Thanks a million for doing this. Wish I could catch all of it, but prior obligation bologna. Blech!
Hi Zack, I won't be able to watch the live broadcast but I will definitely be purchasing the download. My question is: will the download version be an edited version of the live class or do we get the full content?
So I am signed up for the class to watch live. Will I be able to record this live class and have it available to watch it again on itunes after it has been streamed or do I need to also pre purchase the class for $79 as well?
Hello Zack,
Looking forward to the workshop. Could you please think loud when it comes to composing your frame, point of view, lens choice and dealing with the subjects?? You know, the kinda stuff to think about when the lighting setup is done and the shooting really starts?
Have a good one(light) this weekend!
That's awesome program. I am looking forward to it !
Hey, a couple of questions:
Any chance of you teaching about window light / window light with a reflector in the studio?
How about a discussion of why Newcastle is better than anything else? I haven't had a chance to try one yet. 😉
I shoot live theatre & dance, also bands & Philharmonic orchestra. Since the lighting is provided for me, what can I bring along to do individual portrait shots of the dancers/musicians afterwards. I get frequent requests for this.
Hi Zack,
Glasgow calling! (just 3hrs from Newcastle) looking forward to the workshop – any info on how the cast can be viewed from Europe – will there be a delay or do we need to stay up all night – don't mind if we have to… Joey
Thanks so much for hosting this workshop! My schedule will probably not permit me to watch live, but I am a Kelby Training member and was wondering if you are bringing these classes to Kelby Training? Otherwise, I will definitely buy the downloads.
I am glad it will be tomorrow! I can't wait to learn and see how this class will turn out!! great job on the broken down schedule and thanks Zack for teaching such a free class to help the community
regards and wish everyone the best!
Khaled Mosli
Zac.. really appreciate you doing this.
Can't wait to see what I can do with my beauty dish after this seminar.
Hi Zack,
Really looking forward to the class, you awesome at Photoshop World and can't wait to see more of your work.
Just wanted to say good luck. I'm sure it'll rock! I was hoping to watch live but it turns out my wife has prior engagements for me….so I stuck my hand in my pocket and pre-ordered a download. Really, really looking forward to it.
Thanks for doing this – good luck and have fun! I created a Twitter account just for this as well…. hope I can learn to tweet.
Man, I'm so pumped for this!!
I'm excited Zack…….thanks for doing this! And let me tell ya, if I go into labor this weekend, I am going to be pissed! Guess I should pre-order **just in case**….
Having stumbled through setting up my own studio with all kinds of misinformation this course will be killer. Bottom line there is so MUCH stuff out there it is confusing as hell…can't wait to see if I half way did it right!
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom, knowledge and experience with so many!!!
Thank you so much for allowing us to watch you live!!
Awesome! I'm excited!
When you get home I just want you to know that…From the very beginning you were awesome!
Merci, merci!
Day 1 was great! Hope to workshop with you one day soon. So great of you to do this for all of us….
This was so amazing. I have the One Light DVD, but it never hurts to see the information again. Thanks so much!
Thanks Jack for the straight talk! I am taking full advantage of the knowledge you have gained and are willing to share. Love it. Will be a constant student of your class at Creative Live for the next couple day's with bell's on! Can't wait.
um…sorry, that was a typo! I know you are Zack and not Jack!
Today is my Birthday – wouldn't have spent the last 6 hours any other way. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience and in a way that we can understand. Can't wait for the next 2 days. Thank You!!!!!
You are the first photographer I know that has talked about knowing your camera in terms of the LCD screen being"off" I don't know how many time I have asked this question of people/photographers and developers!I thought I was the only one with this problem. I thought my camera was defective. I had to learn exactly what you discussed today , to know my camera, in my case my camera consistantly underexposes so I must adjust for that . Thank you Zack
Fabulous first day. Can't wait to get this started for Saturday!
Can you post a link to the gear list from yesterday? Couldn't find it on CreativeLIVE.
Great Day Yesterday and now your rockin' today enjoying every minute.
YOU are the MAN….. thanks for Sharing and making it free to all of us. Love your work and your a teaching natural most phot videos bore me but i have been glued to this seat the whole time….. THANKS BRO you ROCK!!!!!
I am amazed at how much I'm learning! I have already bought the download. I appreciate you taking your time for beginners like myself who need a detailed explanation. Thanks so much Zack, Meg and family! God bless you.
Many thanks for the fantastic seminar. Totally awesome.
Can't wait for day 3.
Best regards,
Great Lighting class with Creative Tech. Thank you tremendously for your time and sharing your insights and knowledge.
@Chris – here's the gear list – http://creativelive.com/courses/zack_arias/links.html
Zack, i have a question come problem. I would like to shoot a golfer in motion – strobe like with 6-8 images, finishing with the pose at the end. Problem… i would like to do this with two Nikon SB-900's in theory it might be possible but as a newbie at hotshoe, i'm confussed!!!!
I may not be able to view the online tomorrow as i will be on a helicopter, but feel free to explore this in the class/ Great art taught by a even greater artist.Love your work.
Loved it Zack. Own the DVD. Alum from OneLight Denver and you are still teaching me new stuff!
What lightmeter was that? Smokin'
Can't say thank you enough! That was amazing to be a part of and so cool that photog's around the world were participating online. I learned SO MUCH and can't wait to put it into practise. Thank you for sharing so openly.
I would absolutely recommend to any photog to BUY this course! It covers SO much!
Hi Zack,
Guinness World Records said you should apply for a record as you might just have tested the most light modifiers in one class ever.
Their reply: "Thanks for the tip re: Zack – by all means he should apply for a record via our website!"
Go for it!
Awesome job.
I've taken a lighting course before — you filled the gaps, and so much more. I can't wait for the finished product so that I can review the parts that I got and catch the parts that I missed.
This had to be a wickedly tiring weekend, but I hope you treat us again. You do a fantastic job sharing knowledge and putting an understanding to concepts.
FUUUUUUUDDDGGGGEEEEE I work every weekend. I missed all of it. God this sux. !
Hi Zack,
Your 3 days workshop was awesome. You are my most favorite photographer. I learned so much from this workshop.

Recently this blog has been getting harder and harder to write, with increasingly fewer posts. This is happening I expect, for a variety of reasons. My volunteering level with homeless women has increased pretty dramatically in terms of time spent. I've become more active with groups throughout the week, becoming involved in book groups, knitting groups, a church movie group, two general "crafting and artistic" groups and more. The weather is again warm, and while I don't garden I enjoy the chance to go outside and harass the gardener, and longer times are spent sitting on the patio and appreciating the outside. I'm working a bit on the side (by choice), and looking to spend time on weekend day trips and the like. In other words, life is getting in the way.
Another side of the coin is that I sometimes feel repetitive. This blog was meant to be about living rich in retirement-proof that fixed income living can be rewarding and that life can be good. I'm not sure how much more I can write, that's not either just day to day views on my life (not necessarily a bad thing) or rehashing of past writings. I don't want to be that person who only writes ones every week or so. I'm convinced that to blog means to be regular, so that people know when, and how often to drop by.
So, what to do? I do like to write, about some things. However, the things I like to write about most are no longer necessarily retirement related, and this blog is definitely centered in that direction. I'm either the frugal Texas gal, or I live richly in retirement. These days, I'm more interested in writing about other things, with retirement being the background music at best, and limiting that writing to two times a week at the most, and perhaps once.
As I see it I have a couple (or perhaps three choices). I can continue writing here, but make this a lifestyle blog. This blog would keep the same title but it would have shorter posts about the things most important in my life-volunteering and low income women, my creative pursuits, general day to day life, and other things. I can leave this blog and start what is basically a creative blog, with a name that says it as such. And finally of course I can just stop writing.
My inclination right now is the first choice-in fact I've thought about increasing and changing the focus before. The reason I have hesitated is because while comments come and go in terms of number, my greatest views are those that have to do with tags like "fixed income living" I have no problem talking about those choices, I just want those conversations and writings to be secondary to others.
All this is to say, feel free to share, as I explore changes and see if this blog will continue. Perhaps readers will enjoy reading about recipes, home decoration, quilting, painting, writing, traveling, poverty in this country or any one of other issues. Or perhaps not. In other words, life is an experiment and we'll see how, or where it ends, when it comes to this one.

CA: BGC, Fort Bonifacio belongs to Makati City, not Taguig
The Court of Appeals (CA) has ordered Taguig City to stop exercising jurisdiction over the 729-hectare Fort Andres Bonifacio or Fort Bonifacio since this area is part of Makati City.
In a 37-page ruling penned by Associate Justice Marlene Gonzales-Sison, the appellate court's sixth division upheld several presidential fiats declaring Fort Boni as part of Makati.
The ruling can be appealed, but the appellate court ordered Taguig to immediately cease and desist from exercising jurisdiction over the disputed areas.
In a text message, Makati City spokesman Joey Salgado said they have yet to receive a copy of the decision.
photo by rappler.com
Nonetheless, he said "Makati's claim on these areas have historical and legal bases. We have always maintained they are part of Makati and we are glad that the CA has upheld our jurisdiction."
The Court of Appeals noted since 1970, the national census had already included 7 military barangays-- (Cembo, South Cembo, East Rembo, West Rembo, Comembo, Pembo and Pitogo) as well as the Inner Fort barangays (Barangay Post Proper Northside and Barangay Post Proper Southside)-- as part of Makati's jurisdiction.
Bonifacio Global City is also part of the Inner Fort.
The appellate court's decision reversed the Pasig City Regional Trial Court's order invalidating Presidential Proclamation No. 2475, which shows Makati's jurisdiction over Fort Boni.
Also upheld by the CA is Proclamation No. 518, which modified the PD No. 2475.
"Hence, Presidential Proclamation Nos. 2475 and 518 did not alter boundaries instead confirmed that said area is under the jurisdiction of Makati," the CA ruled.
The CA also noted that residents in the areas mentioned are Makati voters.
It also stressed that Taguig belatedly filed a complaint against Makati in its claim over the areas.
Proclamation 2475 was enacted in 1986, and Proclamation 518 was created in 1990. Taguig filed the complaint in 1993.
Quoting the Supreme Court, the appellate court said the "considerable delay in asserting one's right before a court of justice is strongly persuasive of the lack of merit of his claim, since it is human nature for a person to enforce his right when same is threatened or invaded."

Author Marc Songini will return to the Island to speak about his book, The Lost Fleet: A Yankee Whaler's Struggle Against the Confederate Navy and Arctic Disaster, at the Chilmark Public Library on Wednesday, Sept. 10 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. The event is free and open to all.
Arts a la Carte, a new children's arts discussion series at the Featherstone Center for the Arts, will kick off this Thursday with a bang: a Molly Bang, that is.
How do Jules Feiffer's early comic strips hold up after half a century? For over 40 years, beginning in 1956, his provocative, often ironic cartoons appeared weekly in the Village Voice. Fantagraphics Books has just published Explainers ($28.99 hardcover), a complete collection of the first 10 years' worth, from 1956 to 1966. The strips deal with politics and the battle of the sexes in an era when intellectuals obsessed about Marx and Freud and when humor might arise from observing hypocrisy in people's politics and their intimate relationships.
Saving the sea from overfishing begins with paying attention to the forage fish. Tomorrow afternoon at 5:30, the author of an important environmental story will speak at the Chilmark Public Library as part of an ongoing series on fisheries and fishermen.
Author Bruce Franklin will give a free talk on the value of menhaden in America. Last year his book The Most Important Fish in the Sea was published and received high praise along the waterfront and amid fisheries managers along the coast.
On April 5, beginning at 3 p.m., the Martha's Vineyard Museum will host a special afternoon honoring those Vineyarders who fought on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement.
On exhibit in the Council Room Gallery is The Civil Rights Movement on Martha's Vineyard: A Public History Mobile Museum. Funded by the Mass Foundation for the Humanities, this photographic exhibit is on loan to the museum from the African American Heritage Trail of Martha's Vineyard. Board members of the Heritage Trail will be on hand to answer questions about the exhibit.
Why do some washashores to the Island stay ashore while others drift away?
The question had settled in Island author Elaine Pace's mind for a couple of years. She spent a year talking with people who stayed and the result is Island Home, the stories of 14 pilgrims who visited, then chose to live on the Vineyard.
Subtitled Why People Come to Martha's Vineyard and Why They Stay, the self-published book hits Island bookstores today. The book joins Island, a Memoir, Ms. Pace's first book, published in 2005.
For four years, Salvatore Scibona has been shepherding new writers at the Fine Arts Workshop in Provincetown through readings of their work at local libraries and other cultural venues.
Saturday at 5:30 p.m., at the West Tisbury library, Mr. Scibona will read from The End, his own first novel, that already has generated luxurious reviews prior to its release this week. Responsible reviewers have compared him with Saul Bellow, Virginia Woolf and Graham Greene.
In her one woman show The Big Boot, writer Jenny Allen takes a candid look at the cancer diagnosis that turned her life upside down and sent her on a soul-searching journey through complex internal landscapes. Rather than wallow in maudlin bathos, the play combines wit, humor and insight to frame the illness in a humane context audiences can relate to.
The first interview Michael Holley ever asked for as a reporter — from his mom, for her life story when he was a nine-year-old boy back in Akron — she refused to give him.
Mr. Holley overcame this setback, going on to write for the Akron Beacon Journal, Cleveland Plain Dealer, Chicago Tribune and for 10 years a column in the Boston Globe. Anyone who follows sports in this part of the world knows that he now hosts the midday Dale and Holley show on the WEEI sports radio network, 850 AM on your radio dial.
Sharon Robinson, author of Stealing Home, a memoir of her family life with baseball dad Jackie Robinson, held court last Friday at what's becoming the Island's clubhouse, The Oyster Bar & Grill. From weddings to fundraisers, the trendy eatery at the top of Circuit avenue in Oak Bluffs, with high wooden booths and brown satin curtains that put you in mind of Renoir and absinthe-sippers, has hosted a string of special events. This past Friday it was the scene of Ms. Robinson's talk, the third in a NAACP series of summer luncheons.

#"XBMC running on Raspberry Pi. I may faint with the anticipation"
The kids' non-360 XBOX running XBMC has been an amazing piece of kit. We've had it for over 4 years and got it second-hand for approx 60 but it maxes out at 480p content. I had thought that getting a replacement like the Patriot or WD Live TV would cost north of 80. But some geniuses have got XBMC running on the Raspberry Pi. A streaming media player with HDMI, LAN and 1080p support for 31 including VAT and delivery? Yes please.
Also, someone has already beaten me to the punch by getting a ZX Spectrum emulator running on it. We need someone to make cases that look exactly like 48K Spectrums, including a working keyboard, that the RPi can slot into. Do it!

I love the cardstock strips. I think they are an excellent value, first off. Secondly, they can add so much to your project. I love that you do not have to have that specific punch or die cut to have them. They come in great colors and are sturdy, textured cardstock.
Used in this card: You're a blast!

Kuala Lumpur (The Star/ANN) - Fancy getting a lottery ticket in your angpow packet? Or participating in an angpow lucky draw at an open house?
One Chinese New Year practice that has survived the ages is the giving and receiving of angpows, albeit with some improvisation.
Traditionally, married Chinese couples or the elderly will give angpows, which symbolise good luck, to unmarried siblings or children within the family during the lunar new year. Angpows are also given during other happy occasions such as weddings and birthday celebrations.
To make the coming Year of the Snake more fun and interesting, interior designer Lucas Goh intends to give away "lucky draw angpows" to those who come for his open house.
Goh, who is in his 40s, says he will insert notes of different denominations ranging from 5 ringgit to 50 ringgit into the angpow packets which will be placed in a box, ready for guests to draw throughout the 15-day lunar new year celebration.
"Adults and children who come to my house will get a chance to pick an angpow from the box. I tried it last year and my guests seemed to like the idea."
But, he says, he will still give out individual angpow to his nephews and nieces who are very close to him.
Lawyer Dennis Ngu, 49, is another who has tweaked the practice of giving out the little red packets. Instead of cash, Ngu is giving out angpows with lottery tickets to guests at his open house.
"I intend to buy 100 lottery tickets worth 5 ringgit each," he says.
Ngu notes that youngsters these days tend to expect a big sum in the red packets. In fact, some children have become so adept at guessing the value of the angpow from just the feel of the packet.
This is certainly a far cry from what great grandmother Wee Geok Pek, 94, used to receive as a child.
The Penangite remembers getting "one-cent angpow" from her parents and relatives on the first day of Chinese New Year. Instead of printed red packets, each Straits Settlement coin would be wrapped in a little piece of red paper and given together with two kam (Mandarin oranges).
"In those days, a square one-cent coin with the British crown had tremendous value," she reminisces. "We could buy three pieces of sweet potato."
After she got married, Wee continued the tradition of wrapping coins in red paper.
"By then, the value had increased to 20 cents," she says.
During the Japanese Occupation, she remembers giving the "duit pisang" (Japanese-government issued notes with the banana tree motif) as angpow but the notes had little value.
Wee, who has seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, says the value of an angpow these days has gone up due to rising costs and expectations. She gives her grandchildren and great-grandchildren 200 ringgit each for their angpow, she says.
Sales executive Margaret Bong, 42, also feels that the festive celebration has become a "costly affair" due to higher expectations from the younger generation.
"That is why you will see many people shying away from celebrating with friends and relatives. They would rather go away on a vacation," Bong says.
There are also those who end up giving more angpow money than they can afford just to avoid gossip.
"I know some friends who give big angpow just to keep their reputation. One friend even took out a personal loan so that he could give 50 ringgit angpow to keep others from branding him a cheapskate. It's rather foolish," observes 42-year-old tuition centre operator Jackson Ng.
"Give within your means," he advises.
"If you cannot afford it, don't pretend you can, or you'll end up with more debts."
Newly-weds Paul Ng, 29 and Janice Sim, 31 are already feeling the pressure of giving out angpow next week.
After spending almost 29,000 ringgit for their wedding in December, the young IT specialist couple is dreading the idea of splurging more within such a short time.
Ng laments that they also have other monthly commitments such as housing, car and education loans to pay.
"When we held our wedding reception, we gave out angpow to the kids. Our concern now is they will remember how much we gave then and expect an equal amount for Chinese New Year," Sim says.
For sales manager Jason Mok, 35, being able to give an angpow is a blessing in itself.
"It is something I'm very happy to do. It's not really about keeping reputations, although the sum can reflect a person's financial situation. It's the sincerity in giving that counts and children who receive angpow must be thankful, regardless of the amount inside."
Lawyer Sandra Shek, who gives angpow to family members, relatives and friends' children, does not see the practice as a burden.
"For the children, it is a blessing and for our parents, the angpow symbolises longevity."
Joanne Tham, 38, admits that when she was a kid, she used to think those who gave 2 ringgit angpow were "cheap".
But after she started working, she began to realise the value of hard-earned money.
Businesswoman P'ng Yen Ling, 56, remembers receiving gold-wrapped chocolate coins in angpow packets when she was a child in the early 1970s.
"None of us children sulked or got angry; we were just grateful for what we received. Now things are very different. If you put chocolates or give anything less than 5 ringgit even to an acquaintance's child, they will say you are stingy."
For medical student Sarah Ann, however, the 1 ringgit angpow she receives from her great-granduncle is as good as getting a 100 ringgit angpow.
"My great-granduncle is really old, about 96. How can I be cross with someone without an income? All I know is he loves me and that is the most important thing."

Kordon Fish Catcher?
Has anyone tried the Kordon Fish Catcher for shrimp?
I have one, it's a 10 dollars piece of garbage.
Doesn't catch fish, doesn't catch shrimp, doesn't do much of anything except be a gigantic piece of horribly designed plastic.
Good to know. Thanks, mord. :)
Looks like those old smoking pipes but made of plastic. lol
I thought those were supposed to be used for betas because there finger is so delicate and can rip easily in a regular net. I never use nets on my betas, only my hands and cup them
Good to know Subtletanks. Does the handle have a hole in it that goes all the way down to the cup?
My imagination tells me that when scooping you have to allow for water pressure to come up the handle, then put a finger over the hole to hold the water while transferring...
or is it just a cup?
I'm not sure i don't own any of these nets or ladles for betas. But I do know that they are supposed to be used for betas. They also make bamboo and wooden ladles to scoop betas out. If there is a hole in the handle then I would also imagine that's how you use the net

A Place at the Table
An essay on what happens when the heart of the home disappears.
A Place at the Table
The men are working late; the deadline has passed for our kitchen renovation, a project Eric and I have been planning since we married and chose this particular roof under which to raise our five kids, now ages 9 to 15. The house, built in 1872, was old and crooked, but seemed perfect—except the kitchen, which was no bigger than a walk-in closet. But even my husband, who is the chef in our home, and a man who prides himself on fixing fine family dinners every day of the week, wanted the house.
Now six years later, our goal is to transform our shoebox kitchen into a room big enough for a table that will serve as a center for our family life. A table like the one I had in the kitchen of my childhood home, where I'd spend hours making Aunt Jewel's raspberry bows with my mother, dipping each cookie in powdered sugar and placing them in boxes for delivery to someone for a birthday, always reserving four cookies for my siblings and me, which we'd eat with sweet tea.


text: The Canandaigua Police Department reports the arrest of Sheryl Cerroni, 46, of Honeoye following an investigation which began as a larceny. Further investigation led to Cerroni being charged with 2 counts of aggravated harassment in the 2nd degree, 2 counts of stalking in the 4th degree and criminal possession of stolen property in the 5th degree. It is alleged Cerroni possessed stolen property consisting of a bracelet and contacted the victim on two separate dates after having been warned by police to cease all contact. Cerroni was released and is due in Canandaigua City Court at a later date.

A Magnet for Young Talent Turns 50
Young Concert Artists has been such a fixture on the classical music landscape for so long, it's easy to lose track of its milestones: creating the debut recitals and tours for pianists like Emanuel Ax, Jean-Yves Thibaudet and Murray Perahia; chamber groups like the Tokyo String Quartet and St. Lawrence Quartet; and soloists from Dawn Upshaw to Anne Akiko Meyers and Sasha Cooke.
But it wasn't always the established star-making vehicle that audiences are familiar with today.
The YCA story began one day in 1961 when a New Yorker named Susan Popkin – now Susan Wadsworth – was walking through Washington Square Park and bumped into Sanford Allen, a gifted violinist she had known at the Mannes School of Music. Allen told her he was hoping to make his New York recital debut which in those days was key to getting noticed by agents and managers. Wadsworth, a 24-year-old graduate of Vassar College who worked as an assistant in publishing, wanted to help her friend make that happen.
Soon she found an Armenian restaurant that was closed on Mondays and persuaded the owner to rent it to her in exchange for 300 new chairs. In a series of Monday night recitals she presented not only Allen but also the flutist Paula Robison and the pianists Richard Goode and Ilana Vered.
Robison, who later became a founding member of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, remembers the scrappiness of Wadsworth's first concerts. "Susan and her parents moved the tables and set up a platform and I remember we needed some stairs to get on the platform," she said. "Nobody realized that and so moments before the concert we found some boxes of canned anchovies. Any time I walk on stage now I think of that moment."
In 1961, Wadsworth worked alone, with a budget of $8,000. Today, the organization -- still nonprofit -- has a full-time staff of 14 and an annual budget of $2.4 million. In addition to the annual concert series it presents in major halls in New York and Washington, YCA books over 300 professional engagements annually for the 25 to 30 musicians who stay on its roster until they find commercial management.
The basic format of a competition has remained largely constant through the decades. Musicians from ages 16 to 26 can audition annually for one of several spots on the organization's roster. The winners get all-expenses paid debut concerts at Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. as well as recital dates in venues around the country. During the past three decades, YCA has given a start to 276 musicians in all, including several chamber-music ensembles.
Young Concert Artists' 50th-anniversary year reaches its peak on Saturday with a 12-hour marathon concert at Symphony Space featuring 100 artists spanning all five decades of its existence. The lineup is eclectic: the Borromeo String Quartet (pictured), pianists Christopher O'Riley, violinist Chee-Yun, harpist Catrin Finch and harpsichordist Anthony Newman all share the bill. (The organization maintains that it was the first to manage the careers of wind players, marimbists and harpists.)
Eugene Drucker, a violinist in the Emerson Quartet who was a member of Speculum Musicae, an early-'70s YCA ensemble, praises the organization's ability to adapt to an increasingly splintered industry. "Any intelligently run organization has to be adaptive without being totally conformist," he said. "They're still being nimble with understanding how music is being marketed and presented."
"The whole music scene is more complex nowadays," he continued. "In the old days YCA was a way to get you noticed by the powerful managements. If you didn't get to be signed with big managements, you probably didn't feel like you had a shot at a big career."
YCA increasingly faces competition from within the industry; there's the New York-based Concert Artists Guild as well as large management agencies that are eager to get in on the action and sign ever-younger talent. Wadsworth points to Caroline Goulding, an 18-year-old violinist who made her New York, Washington and Boston debuts under the organization's auspices last fall. Before she had time to develop on the YCA roster, Opus 3 Artists snapped her up.
"Caroline Goulding has been ready to go since she was 15 or 16," said Wadsworth. "She's adorable, she's smart, she loves to play and she plays like a dream. It's all there. Personally I would have liked for her to be with YCA for a few years but I just don't want her to be too much too soon and burn out because she has such a bubbly joy in what she's doing."
In a sense, though, the tables have turned. Wadsworth's organization is now in a position to dictate who the next hot young stars are rather than having to persuade others to giver its artists a shot. And if Wadsworth, now 74, is known for her sometimes old-school approach to the business, she also commands great respect amongst her alumni.
Ida Kavafian, the violinist who was with YCA from 1978 to 1981, credits the organization for making sure the manager she wanted, Harry Beall, came to her concerts, and for arranging auditions with conductors Zubin Mehta and Leonard Slatkin. Before she came to YCA she was well known for her performances with the chamber group, Tashi, but she couldn't find solo work. She also commends Wadsworth for making sure there are lead-up concerts before a New York debut.
"She doesn't just throw winners on the stage of New York and not throwing people in the heat of things," Kavafian said. "Anybody can make a splash but backing it up with the right foundation is what's important."

Nice room, clean, cookies, and nice staff. Parking was extremely expensive. Also, this should be noted in your booking as it is an added expense.
Location to Broadway, in-house Starbucks and bar. The windows were leaking because they were poorly sealed which leaked condensation and the wall paint was peeling because of the moisture. The room smelled like a locker room because of the mold growth. We paid to be close to Broadway but I expected the room wouldn't smell like a locker room and have black mold. Thank god we didn't have to spend much time in the room. If we didn't have the mold and the stench, stay would have been great.
The hotel has a very nice lobby and is close to Broadway, easy walking distance. Happy hour at the bar from 3-6 was good. Concierge was helpful but pushy to sell tickets for bus tour. Bathroom in the room seemed a little run down.
Very nice accomodations... walking distance to all the activities on broadway street... restaurants, pubs, tourist shops and nightlife! We checked in hours before the blizzard hit and the highways shut down... Hotel staff was very limited, but did their very best to accomodate our every need. The lounge is adequate... a limited but very good menu. And live music at night. Clean room and friendly staff... whats not to like???
The proximity to downtown and the courtesy of the staff. The hotel manager was great to work with and happily resolved the main issue we had. There was no indication that parking was valet only, or that it would cost an additional $35 per night. I think the A/C in the hotel rooms needs an overhaul, the actual room never got close to the temperature set on the thermostat, it wasn't unbearably hot; but it sure wasn't 65 either.
I was woke up shortly after 5am by the construction crew banging with sirens and screaming. It was horrible. The hotel said they didn't know ahead of time a complete lie the building next door has been being built for over a year i found out. The wake up call (not that i got any sleep) was a half hour earlier than requested. Room service was horrible the food was not good and it took over an hour (nearly an hour and a half) to get a club sandwich. The delivery girl pandered for a tip suggesting there was no tip already included and telling me how people weren't answering the door when she was trying to deliver food. I tipped her only to find out room service charges 21% tip built into the bill plus a delivery fee of $2.50 on top of that. The room had a barely working toilet, some of the lights did not work, the fridge had no adjustment and would freeze everything solid, the fan in the bathroom was, also not working. Valet parking guys were great very friendly and professional. $35 per day is awfully high for valet at a hotel that has no parking at all to accommodate their guests except the valet option or you can go drive around downtown and find a public lot. I stayed in a suite that i paid extra for. I would highly recommend this valet service but i wouldn't stay at this hotel until the construction next door is finished at the vet least. I will not stay here again.
Bathrooms a little dated
Location Booked a king room, but when we checked in they gave us a room with two double beds. I had the reservation confirmation that showed a king room, but they said they had no king beds available. They did not offer to give us a discount, but "upgraded" us to a double room that had two bottles of water, a candy bar, bag of chip, bag of snack mix and two drink vouchers.
No Cribs were available during our one night stay unfortunately.
We loved the quick easy check in and the complimentary breakfast buffet! Omelets were made to order and delivered to our table, and the wait staff couldn't be nicer! They even asked if we were finished eating before breaking down the buffet...for those of us with sleepy teenagers this was a real plus! We picked this hotel because it was located downtown and we like to be in walking distance of tourist attractions when we travel. Location was good, but be aware that this hotel is located up the hill from the downtown area...and it's a pretty steep hill! For women wearing heels it can be a bit of a challenge!
Proximity to downtown and attractions Hotel is a bit worn out
Great spot. Close to everything. Clean, comfortable room, nice lounge! Friendly staff.
The only thing i liked was the location!! The hotel is well over priced with what you get.There was no bottled water in the room and having to pay for breakfasts on top of the price of the room is outrageous, making it a very expensive trip.
Great place to stay for business or pleasure. Clean, spacious rooms and very friendly staff. No dislikes.
The location was perfect for walking around and enjoying Downtown Nashville. The maid had to be asked to clean the room after two days.
the luxe the bath was to little
Location was great for our night out on the town and we was able to walk to anything we wanted to see in downtown Nashville. Hotel was ok but not worth the money I paid for it. Room was not carpeted and the fake wood floors felt sticky. Also there was only around 7-8 minutes worth of hot water for a shower and the heating unit for the room was very loud. Parking was steep too! Would I stay at Hotel Indigo Downtown Nashville again? Thanks but no thanks.
I enjoyed the atmosphere of the hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
The food is excellent, especially the hot chicken. The bartenders are super cool, and the live music is amazing, especially Mandy!
It was cheap and convenient to everything we wanted to see and do downtown, so I'd give it 2.5 stars. the staff was friendly. Decorated like a Hampton Inn from 2003, there was a comical layer of dust on the furniture and the floors were gritty as if they hadn't been cleaned recently. The hotel stole money from me by charging me 31 dollars for valet parking but returned the stolen money after I proved that we hadn't left a car there, so that was sketchy.
Uncomfortable rooms. Plumbing was totally messed up.
The hotel is within walking distance of restaurants, bars and music venues.
Close to everything but far away from the fast pace of the entertainment area.
Nice room great facility Nothing
Staff was helpful and friendly. Hotel was clean and inviting. No continental breakfast.
Location! Clean Underwhelming for high cost Cafe hours are not convenient Valet very expensive and then we had to wait over 20 min
Location, location, location. Lobby was unique, having been an old 1920's bank building. Room was sparsely furnished. Small room, typical of Marriott Courtyard. Lounge chair needed a reading lamp over it. Lousy lighting in the bath area.

K9 Units And Their Handlers – The Relationship And Retirement
The mother of a Marine who also a military K-9 trainer and handler says most people don't understand the relationship between the dog and its partners.
Linda Griffin says she learned so much from her son about that relationship, especially after her son's K9 was killed, although he didn't die in service, 'they were back in state,' she said.
Regarding some of the criticism regarding using a dog to enter a building or situation with a suspect who is armed, similar to what happened last week with FBI K-9 Ape in Herkimer, Griffin says: "People don't understand, that's what these dogs are trained for. They love what they do."
Do they treat them as partners?
"Yes they do. I don't think people are ever gonna understand it. The only reason that I do, is because of my son."
On her family photos that include the dog. "That dog is part of my family because he saved my sons life several times."
Linda saw a Facebook question about 'How long does a dog typically serve?'
She says the answer her son gave to her: "It usually depends on the dogs ability. If it can work 12 years it does, if it can work five years it does. When it retires, the dog is placed with or lives with his handler, but if the dog is too aggressive it is euthanized."

Kim Kardashian proves she isn't 200 lbs!
In the midst of all the tabloid reports that she has packed on the pounds during pregnancy, Kim Kardashian attempted to put those rumors to rest on Saturday (April 6th.) Kim uploaded new photos to her Instagram page showing off her bare baby bump. The photo shows Kim sporting black tights and a white t-shirt pulled up above her belly. It was uploaded with the caption "baby love."E! Online suggests that the purpose behind the photo shoot was to show that the reality star's weight has not actually skyrocketed to the 200 pounds as it has been reported by various tabloids.

Found this gem from Inky Eagle and had to share. There is something about dancing that is universal. Appreciation for music and the very human desire to connect physically with music means that almost everyone enjoys dancing in the right context and with the right song.
I dare you to watch this and not want to get up and move a bit. =)

You get no prizes for being ahead of your time, and Wiley knows it. "I've been an inspiration to the UK grime scene...", he points out on EOBE's most telling moment, "I've got a temper but my name ain't Tinie."
If it feels as if Wiley has always been around, then in Brit-rap terms he has: he emerged at the start of the millennium, and at 32, he's too old for the Chipmunk/Tinie/Wretch/Tinchy chart-crossover bandwagon. Which probably works in his favour. Rather than chase the mainstream dollar, the insanely prolific Richard Kylea Cowie (this is his third album in seven months) is free to pursue his own path.
Over rudimentary backing beats, in that "ya feel me?" accent, his humour often hits the spot. However, the going-through-Customs skit, followed by a track about having his urine tested at the airport, is as tedious as it is righteous.Reuse content

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
I would like to help you with your question.
I'm sorry that this is happening for you and that your relationship isn't more fulfilling. You are exactly right..no sex no child. It's as simple as that.
And...putting pressure on either of you won't be helpful.
No, hence i dont ask, but how do i approach the topic without adding pressure?
Do you think that his low sex drive has a medical basis...that is low blood flow, erectile dysfunction...or is plain old desire?
i think its more down to desire, he has never had a high sex drive
Sometimes what it takes to re-ignite the flame is a break - a short vacation away where it's about the two of you reconnecting, dreaming together about your future, getting re-acquainted with each other...
Okay to his having low sexual desire...this is very normal...
We've had weekends away in the last 3 months, but nothing happens
It might be beneficial for both of you if he were to see your family physician to at least see if he has low testosterone...
Okay..so the time away hasn't changed anything.
ok, im not sure if he'd be up for that, no time away really isnt any different than being home
What happens on those weekends away? Do you think that one or both of you are afraid of being intimate after such a long while? Does something seem to get in the way?
I understand..there is a lot of shame around seeing a physician for that reason...but if he really wants another child...that may be what is necessary...
That's unfortunate that time away is no different than time at home!
There is a very good book that I recommend for couple's having such issues...would you be willing to consider that?
We have a great time together, we go do stuff we both enjoy, we chat about dreams, he wants his own business and our life is based on this, but when it comes to bed time, we just cuddle, say good night and roll over lol
what is the book?
It's called:
Sex is Fun
ok, is it a sex help book or a relationship book?
It's sort of like a workbook...has silly pictures and takes a very fun approach to sex....but it has a serious goal...to make sex more relaxing...to break down barriers...to get the couple on the same page about sexual pleasure.
It's not sex help really...it's about building a sexual relationship.
ok that could be workable, we've explored desires and fantasies in the past, he might be open to that
Okay good...I recommend this book often and people respond very well to it.
thank you , i will have a look for it. How would you recommend i broach the subject..be direct?
Now...tell me what stops you from initiating sex? You wrote that on your times away you have great fun together, and it sounds like you have a very strong relationship...but then you kiss good-night and it's lights out....what stops you for pushing for intimacy?
I have in the past tried, but he always rejects it when i initiate it
not every time, but enough for me to stop trying, i accept i have a much higher sex drive
Honesty is always the best policy...so yes..I would be direct in saying that you want to have more intimacy in your relationship and that you would like the two of you to take a look at this book together. The title really helps take the pressure off...and the pictures and words are very non-threatening.
So...from time to time he rejects your desire for sex...is that right? And that has you scared of further rejection?
well its really the only way i suppose
yes i hate rejection lol
And you take that rejection personally...
yes i do
But...as you have said already...he has a lower sex drive so that means that when he says NO...it's really about him...not about you. And..you have no ability to make him do something he does not want to do...this would be true about all kinds of things not just sex...
yes that is true, we are both strong willed
It might help for you to stop personalizing this and to see it rather as a matter of choice. While you are disappointed even hurt by his saying no...he does have the right to say no.
Perhaps....it could unfold like this...
You: Let's have sex tonight (or however you phrase that)
He: No
yes he does, hence I dont push it, i know i would feel the same if he asked it of me and I was not in the right place
that kinda thing, my reply is normally ok
You: I can respect that choice on your part. I will be patient and understanding. If you would like to have sex tomorrow or at a later time this week...please know that I will look forward to that.
but does that not put a underlying level of pressure?
By giving him "permission" to say no....the pressure totally comes off and he may feel understood, appreciated, and respected in a way that actually allows him to change his mind.
This idea of "giving permission" is really quite powerful....and because you are both strong-willed this is even more important.
Does this make sense to you?
kinda, its a different way of thinking and handling our relationship, but change is a good thing and we are not gonna achieve our goal unless something changes
No it doesn't put an underlying pressure...it does the opposite...the person can then say...wow...I can say no and it's okay with her..
yeah i can see that being a positive thing for him
Yes...this will change the conversation for sure as you will be openly acknowledging that he said no...when you say okay...it's not a strong statement...it's a defeat statement. This way you both maintain respect and power.
It actually evens out the power as both of you have had your say.
and thats important to both of us
And...though we tend to think that men have lots of freedom and power...where they lack this is in the emotional arena. And...sex is all about emotions!
We tell men that they must be the protectors and defenders of the family...and we don't usually allow them to have emotions or to be emotional.
Thus, they need permission to access this part of their being.
lol yes it is and emotions are not his strong point lol
thank you, XXXXX XXXXX go look for the book on line now, you have been very helpful
And so if you acknowledge his "feeling" of No...and essentially give him permission to make that choice...then he will gain confidence in having feelings.
Very good! I am glad I could help you today.
very true, thank you :-)

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by RealCowboyfan, Feb 28, 2007.
Just don't get it huh?
We'll see who has more common sense once the season starts or lets say 4 years down the line or when these guys careers are over.
Right now for you and me and all the critics we just have opinions. Nobody really knows how these players going to turn out in the NFL.
Here's mine....no offense, but yours seems to be not to my liking
1. Brady Quinn - I'm sorry, but this kid is still the #1 QB in the nation. Russell is an incredible talent with loads of potential, but Brady is ready now and will get even better with more maturity!
2. JaMarcus Russell- (I agree with you comments) Nice size, arm strength, accuracy, and a little mobility. He's mobility reminds me of Culpepper but has the arm of a Bryon Leftwich. He's my top player overall. Needs to stay consistent and stop hesitating from time to time.
3. Drew Stanton - (I agree with you comments) I think that after his combine and college skills workouts his stock is rising fast. His mobility is real good. His arm has been powerful and accurate. In two or three weeks he probably will be talked about as a possible late first round early second round draft choice.
4. John Beck (BYU) - Has better mobility then most think...AND has the ability to read blitzes and all types of coverage's. Smart player that is a gamer and productive QB...will be solid at the next level and has the potential to be a decent starter.
5. Trent Edwards - Has prototypical size...Arm strength is more than adequate and he can make all the throws...An accurate passer with good touch and timing...Very smart and a hard worker with excellent intangibles...He knows how to read a defense and go through his progressions...A solid athlete who can throw on the run and move in the pocket...Good footwork, throwing mechanics and a quick release...Still has a lot of upside and could really develop once he's healthy and in a better situation.
6. Kevin Kolb - This guy has what it takes. I believe in two years or less this guy is a sure starter that could be really effective if he works on his mobility. He has a nice arm and good play reading ability that could take him along way in the NFL. He may be a system QB, but time will tell. Has the physical skills to be good.
7. Troy Smith – (I agree with comments below) Really doesn't have the typical size to be an Quarterback but has the arm and tools to be a starter. With his lack of height it makes it complicated on the next level to get the ball over lineman like Chris Canty or Julius Peppers. In the NFL, Troy Smith probably will have to find alot of lanes to throw the ball. If committed I think he could eventually in a year or two be a starter. I think he will be drafted in the second to fourth round draft choice. He reminds me alot of Seneca Wallace.
8. Jordan Palmer - (I agree with comments below) Is a raw quarterback that could be a gem. What he needs to work on is his footwork. He has an arm that could do some damage on the next level. With a good workout from the combine and his college pro day I think he's a mid-second to late third, basically a first day guy.
9. Jared Zabransky- (I agree with the following) With his speed, quick release, and ability to read coverage's he seems like he just one coach away from being successful on the NFL level. If he works hard at getting his accuracy together he could be a good prospect. Gutsy competitor they has potential at the next level.
10. Chris Leak
11. Tyler Palko
12. Jeff Rowe - Look as if he has what it takes to be an starter but being from a school like Neveda you have to ask yourself what type of competition he faced? I think he could be a sleeper pick that a team with an option to get an back-up that could be developed for a period amount of time. I believe if he's thrown in the fire he could handle himself.
13. Isaiah Stanback - (This kid seriously could not hit the broad side of a barn...he was horrendous at the combine....will never be an NFL QB)
Yeah, in 4 years, please be sure to come tell me all about how Stanbeck came alive to become a great QB in the NFL.
I almost can't take the suspense of waiting over here. You?
you leave me scratching my head more and more everytime
I have Quinn #1 and Russell #2. Russell definitely has the arm and size advantage but so did Ryan Leaf. Russell's not a head case though, so don't make that allusion.
It's vogue to rip on Quinn for having disappointing games against some opponents, but I'd like to look at the body of work of a player rather than singular moments. It's the same reason we all wanted Vanderjagt as he was the most accurate kicker of all-time until one ill-fated kick seemed to forever change him.
I think Quinn will make a team quite happy and be an effective pro. I think Detroit or Cleveland would be wise to draft him though Thomas and Peterson may be their respective picks at this point. I don't forsee an Aaron Rodgers drop to the 20's though.
FWIW....Chris Landry , director of player personell at the combine, said Russell was about 10-15 lbs over-weight. He went on to say he wouldn't be able to start for any team immediately, he'd be better off at a D-line position and his work ethic is below average.
Quinn has Joey Harrington written all over him. Russell however, well, I don't understand the infatuation.
I do like your order.
For the people who think Russells the best just because LSU team beat Notre Dame doesn't mean Russell better. It like when the Bears won a game. The other team had a alright QB but either their O-line sucked or their Defense sucked.
Pec strength on a bench is almost 180 from throwing a football, I love his arm strength and having him behind Kolb is a freaking joke, but his arm strength has almost no connection with his bench press abilities.
Interesting and true.
1. Brady Quinn
2. JaMarcus Russell
3. Kevin Kolb
4. Drew Stanton
5. Jordan Beck
6. Troy Smith -
7. Jared Zabransky
8. Jordan Palmer
9. Isaiah Stanback
10. Jeff Rowe
And yet, his career completion percentage is 51.4 per cent...
Now I KNOW you just make stuff up, and don't really know WHAT the heck you're talking about... here's what NFLDraftCountdown had to say about his prospects as a quarterback... pay particular attention to the first sentence:
And can you please change Beck's name from Jordan to John already?
Thank you in advance.h
You have your opinion and I have mine.
A whole lot of people though Romo was going to be some garbage.
Same with Brady, people like yourself which is real opinionated and very biased seem to overlook guys like Brady and Romo.
Not a bad ranking list.....good job
Right on about Beck, brother.
If we drafted Troy Smith we could nickname him "Shorty". LOL
LOL! Yes please, it's John.

Since last year's presidential election, Sarah Palin has made unconventional moves for someone presumably planning to make a play for the White House in 2012. CNN's Alexander Mooney takes a look at what she's doing and whether it's working to solidify her status in the GOP and boost her chances of running for president soon. —KA
"Her biggest problem is the perception that she is not qualified to be president," CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said. "Seven in 10 Americans, and nearly half of all Republicans, say she is not qualified. It's a problem that politicians have faced before, but one that few have been able to overcome."
On the other hand, the former Alaska governor keeps injecting herself into national policy debates, largely from Facebook postings that have taken aim at President Obama's stances on a host of issues, a sign that she is set on remaining a relevant political figure.
She's also retained a fervent following and the bona fide rock-star status that enabled her to pack more campaign town hall meetings than McCain could on his own.
Two-thirds of all Americans in the CNN poll think she is not a typical politician. If Palin has her eye on the White House, she's staking out a different path toward it.
"Palin has thrown the old GOP playbook out the window," said Matt Lewis, a conservative writer for the Web site Politics Daily. "She believes that the world has changed, that all the old rules don't apply, and the conventional wisdom no longer exists."
