Ain't Nothing Gonna Break My Stride
2 days more and I'll be seated in the Aquadesiac Bar at Indochine Wisma, sipping some Chivas Regal liquor and soaking in the sweet sounds of Jamie Cullum on the grand piano. :)
Read in a jazz magazine that Jamie's quite the character:
-- born to parents of Burmese-German-Jewish descent
-- taught himself to play the piano by ear, and can't read music scores at all
-- also played the rock guitar for 10 years before returning to the ivories at age 17
-- never has a set programme during performances, choosing pieces only by reading the crowds' reactions
-- has played for the Queen of England in Edinburgh
-- is selling out concerts across the UK, and making waves in the US
-- spent a year in Paris playing bars, weddings and bar-mitzvahs
-- enjoys solitude
-- studied English literature and drama / theatre at Reading University
And to continue the song lyrics above:
... ain't nothing gonna bring me down
Oh no, I gotta keep on moving.
Bring on the sick kids! I'll have a big smile on my face all day! :P
More on this later in the weekend. Might be a little hung over. ;)
To Genevieve, my friend from Clay Aiken Singapore, who just attended her convocation ceremony today.
She also recently started her own blog, an introspective narrative that makes me sound extremely manic. :)
New Man On Board
We're still setting up his login account, but The Lingual Nerve (LN) is very honoured to welcome Tom Reynolds onto the team!
Tom is a trained nurse who's now tearing up the streets as an EMT. Check out his awesome blog, and watch for more of him on LN.
Last but not least, I found out last week that a male Mediacorp actor lives just 7 storeys above me. He's quite well-known, and has been in the business for decades. He's also very friendly, and extremely tall. Make a guess. :)
Just dropped by Kinokuniya at Takashimaya this afternoon. Man, that place makes my mouth water. I've got so much reading to do after my exams!
And try out The Soup Restaurant in Paragon's Basement 1 sometime. It's got the best Chinese / Cantonese food ever -- surpassing that of the Crystal Jade chain at least ten times. I'm so bloated right now. But contented. :D
Time to go for a dip and burn off all those calories, heh heh!

Hi everyone my name is Glenda with
Sure-Fit Designs – commonly referred to as Glenda the Good Stitch. Those of you who
already sew with the Sure-Fit Designs fitting designing and sewing system know
how flexible it can be for all of your sewing needs. Today I'd like to focus on
the Shirt Kit and the armscye. And why is that? Well very recently I received a
question on it was how do I raise the underarm of the armscye up to make it
less deep. And so I'd like to first of all explain to you why the shirt pattern
pieces are the way they are. So let's take a look at this blouse that I have
on the mannequin here. Done from the Shirt Kit – does not have a bust fitting
Dart again most of you realize that the shirt pattern is a dartless garment if
you need to add one you can there are directions for it but initially it
starts off without a bust dart. And when it doesn't have a bust dart, it means
that you need to have more wearing ease in the circumference of the bust line and
so the shirt kit provides about five and a half to six inches of ease. Now because
it's got more ease it means that it requires the deeper armscye and with the
deeper armscyeI it means that the sleeve cap is flatter and the sleeve is wider.
But does that mean you can't raise the armscye? No of
course not – you definitely can. As we take a look at the jacket that I'm currently
wearing I have raised the armscye and now I'd like to take you to the pattern and
show you how easy that is to do. We'll begin on the shirt front. You will
already have drawn off your shirt front in your size of course in your
measurements and I'm going to come up one inch and I'm going to make a dot and
then what I'm going to do is pencil this in because I just want to get a visual
idea of how best the curve should look. And then I'll come back to it and I will
true it up with the Designing Stylus. So just take your Designing Stylus and use
curves that best follow your pencil line and
I'm going to do this in a different color so that you can see it. And then to
finish off that curve I'll just flop the Designing Stylus over
and come out like this so the armscye now has come up one inch. And then I
would blend back down into the existing side seam like that. Another thing that
you'll want to do is extend the matching notch out like that. Let's move on to the
shirt back. It will be the same process. You're going to measure up one inch like
this and make a dot. Then you're going to come with your pencil and just visually
make a nice smooth curve and then come back with your Designing Stylus and
start truing and blending that curve so that it's completed. And of course on the
back we're going to extend double notches for the notch at the back of the
armscye. And then just blend back down in to that side seam. So now let's take a
look at the sleeve pattern. Going over here we're going to do virtually the
same thing. I will measure up one inch and make a dot and I'm going to pencil
this in so that I can get a visual perspective of a nice smooth curve. I'll
do the same thing on the other side come up one inch and then I'm just visually
blending and truing from the cap. Now I'll come in with a different color so
that you can see this and I'll come like this and then I have to just shift the
Stylus a little bit more to finish that off and we'll blend at the side seam and
do the same thing over here and blend down into the side
seam. Lastly let's remember the matching notches the single notch goes in the
front and the double notch goes in the back of the sleeve cap. I know that when
many of you see this little video I'm going to be getting phone calls and
emails asking how I did the rest of this jacket. Well I'll give you some
guidelines – number one I sewed it out of a knit fabric and that means that I
reduced some of the ease that's in the garment and you can size down one or two
dots depending of course on how stretchy your fabric is. And what do I mean by
sizing down one or two dots? Well if you started off with a 40 inch bust you're
going to come down to perhaps a 39 or maybe even a 38 dot. You're getting rid
of some of the ease because the knit is so stretchy. Then what I did to create
this flare and and fullness and flouncy kind of stuff on the on the top was I
spread the side seam open about 6 inches. Then I took the front of it and I cut
from the hemline up to the shoulder line and I spread that open another 6 inches.
And then it sent her front I think I came out about another 4 to 6 inches so
I had lots of fullness here. And you'll notice that the front of this there's
the the hem level right here and you can see how long the back becomes and so I
just had to graduate the hem from a shorter front down through the side seam
and I kept going to the hemline at the back. The only thing you need to make
very certain of is that when you do that that the side seams are the same
length when you end up on the back and the front after drawing them both. And
then of course on the back of the pattern I've got some fullness back here
as well so I took the back pattern I sliced from the hemline
up to the shoulder line and spread that open about six inches and added a little
bit of fullness at the side seam so it was just actually a lot of fullness
being added to the drape at the hemline. I hope you enjoyed this short video on
how to raise the arm sigh up in your Shirt Kit. You can see how totally
flexible your Sure-Fit Designs Shirt Kit is going to be. And I would invite you to

Legend has it that Samson's hair was the secret to his strength. When Delilah cut it off, he became weak and incapable of fighting his enemies.
Members at Vail Place, a Twin Cities-based clubhouse for people with serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI) are gambling that "Shaving Grace," a fundraiser they've planned to follow their annual show this week at the History Theatre, will have the opposite effect: They hope that by shearing off their beards and long hair, they will gain strength, raising enough money to meet a matching grant from the Wasie Foundation to support the nonprofit's vital arts programming. The fundraiser's goal is $5,000.
The idea for "Shaving Grace" grew out of some good-natured teasing.
Longtime clubhouse member Richard Whitman has been sporting a long, full beard for five or six years. Lately, Chad Bolstrom, director of Vail Uptown clubhouse, has started ribbing him about his bushy facial hair.
"I'd been poking at Richard about shaving his beard off," Bolstrom recalled. "I'd say, 'I'd be curious to see what your face looks like.' "
Whitman fired back at Bolstrom, who's worn his hair long since 2005, and favors a braided ponytail that reaches down the middle of his back.
"Shaving Grace" "started as a thing between Chad and myself," Whitman said. "He kept saying, 'You should shave off your beard.' I said, 'Maybe you should cut off your ponytail.' "
The debate continued each time Whitman and Bolstrom ran into each other at the clubhouse, which was nearly every day. Other staff and members eventually got into the action.
"Somehow it grew into a shave-off and a cut-off," Whitman said. "We started talking about it, saying, 'Maybe we should do it for money.' Other people said they'd do it, too. I said I'd be OK with that, and it took off from there."
Once the "cut it off" movement started to gain ground there was no going back.
"The organization got hold of it," Bolstrom said. "People in the community started rallying around and wanting to make it happen."
With the support from so many of their long-haired compatriots, and with financial encouragement from friends and family members who'd been hoping to see their loved ones cleaned up for years, the growing group decided that the best time for the mass shearing would be after Vail's annual performance at the History Theatre.
A clubhouse member with barbering experience — and a handy set of trimming tools — offered to take on the roll of Delilah, taking charge of the mass hair removal.
Suddenly, "Shaving Grace," while still lighthearted, was starting to feel significant — and cathartic. The people who stepped forward to have their hair removed were doing it to show their support for Vail Place and the people it nurtures. Donors of the monetary variety felt like they were backing something important.
And the long-haired folks? Anything for a good cause.
"I like my beard," said Whitman, who lives with paranoid schizophrenia and will be performing two original pieces at the History Theatre show. "I can't think of another charity or group that I would do this for. Vail Place has done so much for me. So I can do this for them."
Power of the arts
Now in its fourth year, Vail Place's History Theatre performance features monologues, songs, poetry and dance by clubhouse members, who work for months to fine-tune their pieces and build up the courage needed to present them on stage. The event, and the preparation leading up to it, have become a central focus for many Vail members, an opportunity to help others understand more about the struggles that come from living with SPMI. It's hard work, but it's also healing.
The show's positive impact on Vail Place members is an example of the power of the arts for treating mental illness, Bolstrom said.
"For a lot of our performers, sharing their stories at the History Theatre is very baring — and very healing," he said. "They're opening themselves up in so many ways."
The self-imposed vulnerability of the members who volunteer to step on stage has parallels with cutting off all that hair, Bolstrom added: "As we started to talk more about tying the shaving and haircutting to the History Theatre performance, it started to seem really appropriate: When we cut off our hair, we are baring ourselves, just like the performers are during the show."
Even though the metro area offers a number of strong options for arts programming designed for people with SPMI, it still is not enough to reach everyone who could benefit, Bolsturm said. Despite a growing awareness of mental illness and its impact on the community, funding for programs like his remains meager.
"For adults with serious and persistent mental illness, there is a shortage of services and a shortage of communities like ours," Bolstrom said, adding that 50 percent of their funding comes from individual donations. "Vail is a great community, but the reality is it's just a drop in the bucket. There are thousands of people with serious and persistent mental illness in the Twin Cities that don't have access to a clubhouse like ours."
Farewell, Old Friend
Many people have formed a strong sentimental attachment to their hair. Cutting off locks that took years to grow can be traumatic, or, in some cases, freeing.
Many of the "Shaving Grace" volunteers are closely associated with their hair. People know them for their mops, so lopping them off has the potential to create an identity crisis.
"I've worked in mental health for about 10 years," Bolstrom said. "At some point I affectionately started to be referred to as, 'that guy with the ponytail.' Eventually that became how people identified me." But "Shaving Grace" has him feeling emboldened: He's even suggested that for the right price, he'll have his head shaved bald.
The move feels invigorating in more way than one.
"I have to admit that as we were talking about the timing of this there was a part of me that had a little concern, especially since I just came back from ice fishing, where I was appreciative of having a lot of hair on my head. I think it will feel chilly at first, but we're all relatively hardy Minnesotans. We'll figure it out."
Clubhouse member Kevin Fillips has had a long, red beard for a couple of years.
"It started off as mutton chops," he explained. "I was doing volunteer work at a historic village. Later I let the chin grow out."
Fillips, who has bipolar disorder, admitted that he has been thinking about shaving off his beard for several months, but could never decide on the right time. "Shaving Grace" made this big decision easy.
"I would've agonized over when to do it had I not had this date coming up," he said. Now that the big day is close, he said, "I have no regrets. I've been ready to get rid of my beard since Christmas."
While his friends and family members support the beard removal, Fillips predicts that the transformation it may take some getting used to.
"When the beard is gone," he said, "no one is going to recognize me. I work as substitute in the school district as a paraprofessional. They've only known me there as the guy with the big red beard. Suddenly I'll be the guy with the baby face."
Sporting a baby face seems a small price to pay to Fillips, who credits Vail Place with turning his life around after his diagnosis.
"I really like that it's a place I can go to that keeps me busy and I feel like I'm accomplishing something. It's really easy to talk about your mental illness here without people judging or having any stigma or anything. It's nice to have a place where I can say, 'I'm having an episode,' and not have anyone bat an eyelash."
Some good could also come out of the donations. Bolstrom said he's planning on donating his ponytail to a charity that collects hair to make wigs for people who have lost their hair to cancer treatment or other illnesses.
Other clippings will likely be thrown in the trash. "I don't think there are alternative plans for the beard hair," Bolstrom said with a laugh.
It doesn't matter that society deems beard hair as worthless — "Shaving Grace" participants know better. They are looking forward to the experience and excited about the serious group bonding it inspires.
"Nobody's shedding any tears," Bolstrom said. "I don't think this will be a traumatic experience for anyone. We will all step up in our full grandeur, and leave with our heads held high."
Vail's annual theater arts performance will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 13 at the History Theatre, 30 E 10th St., St. Paul. Donations to "Shaving Grace" can be made online.

"You're not from around here, are you?" – Jo-Beth
Today we look into a personal favorite of mine! Without further ado, it's time to split!
While TS4 may never see the light of day, we are still given a fantastic trilogy of video games. TimeSplitters Future Perfect is the third game in the series that takes off where the second left off. Sgt. Cortez has fled his space station after a direct assault by the TimeSplitters during the final level of TS2. His new goal is tracking down the minds responsible for this atrocity during the course of 3. Being TimeSplitters, it fiddles with time travel more than Doctor Who does. Cortez has funny dialogues with himself and time paradox antics ensue to say the least.
As for the plot it's more tied together than the first two. Cortez is on a mission to stop these abominations from destroying space and time. Along the way, he discovers a madman, Jacob Crow, is responsible for the genesis of this evil… or at least helping it to spread throughout the cosmos. While the series has had several plots, like the machine war and the discovery of the Time Splitters at the turn of the century, the story was more so an anthology rather than an overarching plot like 3. Instead of taking control of other characters throughout history, you're Space Man… I mean Cortez.
The TimeSplitters engine only gets better in this game. The NPC assistant controls a lot smoother in single player. In fact, that GoldenEye style remains just as strong as ever throughout the game.
The story continues the insane and quirky nature of the series with an equally engaging sense of humor. From the witty quips of Cortez to NPC banter, the jokes range from double entendre filled sophomoric antics to a more sophisticated and "geeky" humor.
Each piece of the story is fun and engaging and the characters always remain interesting. The settings range from the historical/retro to the futuristic. I'd like to talk about my favorite parts of the game.
My personal favorite companion (What? I'm a Whovian) has to be Amy Chen from the U-Genix levels. She's a badass super spy/agent who takes no shit! She's kickass without feeling forced, doesn't need to be overly sexualized, and makes for an awesome team-up with Cortez. I almost wish the game could have had more than her. Plus, she was much cooler than Jo-Beth. (Sorry fans, I think she's a typical teenage brat!)
Levelwise, Mansion of Madness and What Lies Below are my top favs. The atmosphere in that level is pure awesome. Now, TimeSplitters has always had its horror homage, dating back to the Cursed Village and Gallows Hill Manor in the first game. Despite that, this one takes the cake! It even beats Notre Dame from TimeSplitters 2. The mansion itself is a lot scarier than the thematic enemies that pop up. Though, that mutant faux-splitter in the mines got the jump on me. Not to mention Lenny Oldburn/Weird Science Guy/Not-Ozzy's pet, "Princess". Hell, Lenny alone is great. He's a mad scientist who tested the formula for the TimeSplitter-esque creatures on himself, making him a babbling idiot. The fact that he can't die is kind of amusing too.
Aside from the single player campaign, other aspects like multiplayer and other modes are worth mentioning too. While your typical FPS has at least 4 -6 extra modes, TimeSplitters has at least 10, including mapmaker and various challenge modes. With enough tinkering, it's more than possible to recreate maps very similar to maps from previous games.
The multi player is also tons of fun, with the previously mentioned map creator as well as a multitude of unlockable weaponss and characters to choose from. With such modes like shrink, virus, vampire, and more, there's a mode for almost any kind of play! And what would an FPS be without essentials like elimination, deathmatch, and capture the flag… I mean, bag! While the single player is enjoyable, the multi player makes for a great party game and an even better time!
And so, if tongue-in-cheek science fiction with time travel in the style of Back to the Future or Doctor Who is your thing, you'll love TimeSplitters.

The wet leaves have a VERY light spinach air with a light floral smell. They are a beautiful green color and the branches retained their vibrant brown. The leaves are around an inch each, consistently. They should easily stand another three or four infusions.
The liquor is yellow, with a light spinach air. There is a slightly spinach taste that is sweet. There is a note that is almost astringent, but not quite there.
Overall, it was good! I would buy, drink and recommend. However, there is no real berry taste. Just a great oolong.

I'm so tired of artists tearing down artists, family tearing down family, Christians tearing down Christians. What happened to being known for our love for one another?
Is discouraging someone really worth that effort? Why not encourage? It takes half the thought. And if it's taking you more, be silent and work your brain.
We talk about global unity, yet can't even smile at our neighbors. We talk about joining together as the body of Christ, then in the next breath rant about everything that's wrong with the church. I know I'm guilty of this too, and please hear that I'm not trying to rag on Christians with this post, but it's a dangerous trend I see and feel the need to call out. Prayer meetings are for prayer, not gossip. If an artist puts out work, that's terrifying for them. Respect the pain and insecurity that no doubt went into that. Even if it's not your taste, treat it with love. Even if you don't agree with it, pray about it hard before you speak up, and remember that chances are, fifteen others are speaking up, too. Maybe they just need you to be silent and love on them.
Maybe that's what most of the people here on this earth need; quiet compassion.

In association with the NZ International Film Festival
Director: Miike Takashi Year: 2010 Country: Japan, UK Running time: 126 mins Censor Rating: R16 - violence, content may disturb Genres & Subjects: Adrenaline, Drama, Period films
"A mixture of bloodletting and exultation that would make Sam Peckinpah sit up in his grave and howl with pleasure." — David Edelstein, NY Magazine
Director Miike Takashi is a filmmaking machine and 13 Assassins is the maestro cranking it in top gear. Turning towards the chambara (sword-fighting movies) he adored as youth, he's applied a much bigger budget and taken far more care than usual to create one of the finest Japanese films in years. In 1844, Japan is ruled by the Tokugawa Shogunate. Shimada Shinzaemon is secretly asked to assassinate an evil lord. Shinzaemon assembles a Dirty Dozen plus one to ambush the lord on his annual journey home. Outnumbered 15 to one, it appears they have no chance of surviving. Luckily honour, heart and a trick or two may just balance the books. Miike, channelling epic Kurosawa, has enough humour and nods to contemporary Japanese society to create something fresh and new out of the past. The final 45 minutes of this film could be his best orchestrated action sequence, a true marvel of construction and fiery kinetic thrills. — AT

Former England superstar and Chelsea legend Frank Lampard was never a likely option for Melbourne City, Brian Marwood, the football administration officer for the club's Abu Dhabi-controlled owner, City Football Group, has revealed.
And while Marwood stopped short of agreeing that the David Villa signing – where the Spanish World Cup winner played only four games for City – was a "disaster", he admitted that both the Melbourne club and the CFG had learnt plenty of lessons from an experiment that left a sour taste in the mouths of many City fans, especially those who had swelled the club's membership in the expectation that Villa would play 10 games for the Melbourne team.
Results in the first half of the season, when City struggled badly for form, were unacceptable, Marwood said. But coach John van 't Schip's job was not dependent on making the finals.
"We will assess it in the summer. We will take a view. We are happy with JVS and the group. We have a lot of faith in the staff. And when you are on the inside you know what they have to work with in terms of the dynamics of certain aspects," said Marwood, an English League winner with Arsenal in his playing days.
Nevertheless the Manchester-based executive believes that Melbourne City's first year under CFG's control has been, with some exceptions, more successful than not as the UAE-based owners seek to bed the Melbourne franchise into a group in which EPL champion Manchester City is the jewel in the crown and New York City is the bold new frontier.
"In some areas, yes (it's gone the way CFG hoped), in other areas, probably no," Marwood said. Referring to the club's newly opened training centre at Latrobe University, he said: "The yes bit is if you look at where we are sitting today, it's much different to the Epping experience that I walked into." Back then, City used to train at a suburban ground, often using wheelies bins full of ice as cooling baths.
"Some of the big highlights for me have been the emergence of the young players. Ben Garuccio, Jacob Melling and Connor Chapman are three players who have found their feet this year. They look extremely promising for the future of the club.
"I was really pleased by the fact that the youth team won their league. That was a great achievement. We have got some interesting emerging talent. The plans we have, the academy, the first team, we have an interesting summer coming up. We have a number of players who are out of contract.
"In a salary-capped league it was frustrating for me that people seemed to miss the point when they saw the City group taking over Melbourne City. They just expected us to throw a lot of money at the team. You can't do that … it's not the world we live in.
"It wasn't like Man City six years ago, where we could take a team that was a potential relegation Premier League team to one that was going to compete for the championship.
"I think there's been more pluses than minuses. The minuses have certainly been the amount of injuries we have had this year. A lot of them have been impact injuries rather than soft-tissue injuries."
While City will still consider sending big-name players who are probably in their twilight years to Melbourne, it seems more likely that they will send younger players from the under-21 squad over for training or to play a season if they fit into the team dynamic. Currently a youngster from Manchester City's under 21s, James Horsfield, is training with van 't Schip's team to gain experience and develop his football.
"The Villa experience taught us a lot of things. Was it the right thing, the wrong thing … in certain times you have to test it and see whether it works or not.
"Frank [Lampard] had struck an agreement last summer to go to New York. The team were not going to start playing until March (when the MLS kicks off). He needed to keep himself fit in that period between August and March.
"We talked about the potential of Melbourne and the situation with Manuel (Man City manager Manuel Pellegrini) came up, and Manuel felt that Frank could add something to the City squad. It never got past the concept idea of talking within the group. When Manuel felt he could contribute and Frank realised that was the case, everybody felt that it was probably the best [for him to stay in Manchester]," said Marwood.
He readily admits that the Melbourne club did not make the most of the opportunities that it was presented with at the start of the season.
"Certainly the results in the first half of the season were poor, not acceptable," Marwood said. "We didn't capture the momentum earlier in the season when membership went to 10,000. We had nearly 16,000 to David's first game. But because the results weren't there … people used to say at first that it was always same old City in Manchester and I heard it here too, that Melbourne City will take you to the point, then disappoint you. But hopefully symbols like the new training ground will show that we are here for the long term."

IF only this teenager could fasten his tie correctly and stop chewing gum, he'd be a sensation.
Pilloried a week ago for his appearance as he collected the BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year award, Wayne Rooney (right) chewed up and spat out Blackburn with the latest demonstration of his genius.
His winner, brilliantly created from nothing and despatched with masterful precision, was enough to deny Blackburn the point, or three, they deserved - and surely renders his claims for inclusion in next week's derby irresistible.
Watchful has been David Moyes' watchword in dealing with a 17-year-old whose effortless guile has burdened his young shoulders with much of the hope and expectation that has welled up in the Goodison faithful through their years in the wilderness.
It may be tough on Tomasz Radzinski, who has scored five goals this season, but the player most likely to send shivers down Liverpool spines is the kid from Croxteth. And Everton fans will be hoping Moyes lets Rooney off the leash for the fixture they want to win more than all others.
He dropped a few reminders of his burgeoning talent against Graeme Souness' side. He was always the most likely to bamboozle defenders with his instinctive skills and his crucial goal 25 minutes into a frenetic 90 minutes of football summed up his consumate ability.
Richard Wright's long goalkick was nonchalantly brought under control by Rooney and his first time, right-foot shot was placed diagonally beyond the helpless Brad Friedel with all the calm efficiency of a veteran goalscorer - not a rookie making his fourth Premiership start. The point was underlined by Everton manager David Moyes. He is quick to protect his young charge from prying eyes - and notebooks - but he is not reticent in listing the characteristics that mark him out as a player of stupendous promise.
"I've never come across anyone like him," enthused Moyes, whose comments, like those of Arsene Wenger after his side had been slayed by Rooney's boots in October, went far beyond the platitudes so often trotted out at post-match Press conferences.
"He's one of the first people to whom I think football comes naturally. He plays and does things on the field in an unconscious way."
Where can be no higher praise of a footballer than that. Yes, Rooney has much to learn, as Moyes readily admitted, about the need for fitting his brand of magic within the requirements of team play, but his repetoire is already breath-taking.
He had, as you would expect, already been involved in the Everton equaliser. Kevin Campbell's cut back from the right found Rooney lurking on the far post and his shot on the turn rebounded off a post for Lee Carsley to sweep home.
Carsley's 12th-minute strike cancelled out Andy Cole's sixth-minute opener, the former England striker nodding home David Thompson's free-kick after a Tony Hibbert foul. By that stage Everton, whose defence looked liable to creak open again all afternoon, had ridden out their luck.
Unfortunate to lose a week earlier to high-riding Chelsea, they can count themselves favoured this time around. They held their own in the first-half after escaping a few palpitating scares even before Cole's early goal, but were decidedly on the back foot in the second half.
Again, more lessons for Moyes ahead of next week's Anfield showdown. His defence is going to be without the suspended Joseph Yobo and David Unsworth, and who ever comprises his rearguard must look to add more steel than was evident on Saturday.
Yobo, caught up in a contract wrangle, fell below the outstandingly high standard he has set himself over the past few months while Blackburn were gifted too many free headers in the closing, nervy moments.
With much of the play congested in the middle of the field - you can expect more of the same in the derby - Rooney acted as Everton's escape valve, the figure likely to unlock Blackburn's almost equally edgy backline.
He could have doubled his personal tally after 32 minutes when he again conjured an opening from Carlsey's pass but dragged his shot wide.
Then, when he turned provider his team's luck was no better. Seven minutes into the second half, Rooney teed up Carsley but he blazed over and Campbell was guilty of failing to react as he threaded a pass across the face of goal in the 69th minute.
Campbell, this abberation apart, worked hard in a selfless performance, while at the other end Wright was called on to make several vital saves, the best a stunning save from Craig Short 12 minutes from time, poking out his left hand to turn the ball away from goal.
By then, Blackburn had been reduced to 10 men after Lucas Neill was given his second booking of the afternoon. Initially, yellow carded for a foul on Tony Hibbert, he was then ordered off for bringing down Gary Naysmith in the 76th minute.
Souness later claimed that he knew his side was in trouble the moment they saw Graham Barber's name down to referee the game. Neill can count himself hard done to, but that decision notwithstanding you could find little fault with his officiating.
Not that going down to 10-men hindered Rovers in the final throes of the game. They made it look as if they possessed the extra man as Everton lived dangerously.
But Rooney was the difference. He may not give interviews, he may want to resist intrusion, but if his language is football Everton can count themsleves blessed in having a player who is so articulate. Not for the first time, not for the last.
EVERTON: Wright, Stubbs, Unsworth, Campbell, Tie (Weir 64), Naysmith, Gravesen, Rooney (Radzinski 90), Yobo, Carsley, Hibbert (Pistone 90). Subs: Simonsen, Gemmill.
BLACKBURN ROVERS: Friedel, Neill, Tugay, Flitcroft (Johansson 76), Cole, Duff, Yorke, Thompson, Taylor, McEveley (Gillespie 45). Subs: Kelly, Ostenstad, Danns.
SENDING OFF: Neill (two bookable offences).
BOOKINGS: Everton's Hibbert; Blackburn's Gillespie.
REFEREE: G Barber.
MAN OF THE MATCH: Wayne Rooney: Who else? No wonder it is a full house at Goodison these days. He had a hand in the first goal and scored the second and, in his first Premiership start for three months, reinforced the belief he is the genuine article.

The regulation of pancreatic secretion by various hormonal and neural factors is summarized in Table 27.4. Seeing, smelling, tasting, chewing, swallowing, or thinking about food results in the secretion of a pancreatic juice rich in enzymes. In this cephalic phase, stimulation of pancreatic secretion is mainly mediated by direct efferent impulses sent by vagal centers in the brain to the pancreas and, to a minor extent, by the indirect effect of parasympathetic stimulation of gastrin release. The gastric phase is initiated when food enters the stomach and distends it. Pancreatic secretion is then stimulated by vago-vagal reflex. Gastrin may also be involved in this phase.
During the most important phase, the intestinal phase, the entry of acidic chyme from the stomach into the small intestine stimulates the release of secretin by the S cells (a type of endocrine cell) in the intestinal mucosa. When the pH of the lumen in the duodenum decreases, the secretin concentration in plasma increases. This response is followed by an increase in HCO3~ output by the pancreas. The secretion of pancreatic enzymes is increased by circulating CCK and by parasympathetic stimulation through a vago-vagal reflex. The release of CCK by the I cells (a type of endocrine cell) in the intestinal mucosa is stimulated by exposure of the intestinal mucosa to long-chain fatty acids (lipid digestion products) and free amino acids.

Food Safety Testing Market to Reach 17 Billion by 2021 - Due to Increase in Outbreaks of Foodborne Illnesses - Research and Markets
04 Jan, 2017, 13:10 GMT
DUBLIN, Jan 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Food Safety Testing Market - Global Forecast to 2021" report to their offering.
The global food safety testing market has grown exponentially in the last few years. The market size is projected to reach USD 17.16 Billion by 2021, at a CAGR of around 7.4% from 2016. Increase in outbreaks of foodborne illnesses, globally; implementation of stringent food safety regulations; and globalization of food supply are the major driving factors for the market.
Pathogen testing dominated the global demand for food safety testing, owing to the large number of foodborne outbreaks in food. Pathogens form one of the principal causes of foodborne illness worldwide, causing infections on a large scale. It is followed by pesticides, which is projected to remain the second-largest market through 2021.
The food safety testing market, based on technology, is segmented into traditional and rapid. Rapid technology accounted for the largest share of the food safety testing market in 2015. The importance of this technology is increasing due to its quick and accurate results, and ease of use. The stakeholders demand new and emerging technologies for analytical testing and certification for the high quality of their products. This has been driving the market for rapid technologies in food safety testing.
The change in climatic conditions, along with the globalization of food chains, may contribute to increased incidences of foodborne diseases & toxins, which is projected to drive its food safety testing service market.
Asia-Pacific is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth in the region is driven by various rules and regulations implemented by different countries in the region. Food security standards are getting stringent year-on-year so as to ensure safer supply of food to individuals in the domestic market and foreign countries.
Lack of food control infrastructure & resources in developing countries and lack of awareness regarding food safety regulations among food manufacturers are restraints for the food safety testing market players.

Hey awesomites
Normal pressure hydrocephalus is a type of brain malfunction characterised by:
- Dilatation of ventricles
- Distortion of fibres in corona radiata
- Normal pressure on lumbar puncture
- And a triad of symptoms:-
- Cognitive loss (dementia)
- Apraxia of gait
- Pee problems (urinary incontinence)
I have made a mnemonic for this triad. Since cephalus in hydrocephalus means head so here's a cap to cover it. Mnemonic- CAP
The main aim of treatment in this condition is to drain the excess of CSF. Surgical installation of ventriculoperitoneal shunt is the usual method which aims to drain csf into the peritoneal lining of abdomen from where it is easily absorbed.
Thats all

Donald Trump Cancels California Trip, Including Friday Appearance in Rancho Palos Verdes
Donald Trump has canceled a planned visit to California this week amid mounting questions on whether he can capture the Republican presidential nomination without a contested party convention this summer in Cleveland.
Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks offered no explanation for the cancellation of Trump's press conference Friday at his golf club in Rancho Palos Verdes.
Trump had announced the trip to California on Wednesday.
The shift comes as Trump and his senior advisors are trying to regroup amid signs that fundamental weaknesses in his campaign organization are hampering his effort to win the 1,237 delegates required to clinch the nomination without a convention floor fight.

"The child who concentrates is immensely happy"
July 1, 2014
I recently had a conversation with a friend about the importance of concentration. While I know so well the importance, I struggled with verbalizing it in a way that satisfied me so I decided to refresh my memory by writing a post. I have chosen to use the words of Maria Montessori and Mihaly Csikzentmihaly … More "The child who concentrates is immensely happy"

What's the best career advice you have ever been given?
That's a tough one but I think I can narrow it down to two things which have really affected how I approach things in a professional context.
"Perception is reality."
I have a comms background and this was one of the phrases that got banded about the whole time. I didn't really understand it until much later, but it actually makes a lot of sense. If someone has a certain perception about you, they will treat you in a certain way. So now I always aim to come across as confident in a professional context even though I'm naturally quite a reserved person.
"Stop apologising."
I think this is a crucial one. I used to write e-mails containing phrases like "Sorry if I've misunderstood, but…" (when I most certainly hadn't misunderstood) or "Sorry for bothering you with this, but…". I've stopped doing that now. Of course, apologising is really important if you've genuinely messed up, but otherwise it can actually be quite undermining. Never apologise for doing your job.

In the past two months, Kylie Jenner has welcomed a new baby, launched a new makeup collection, and gotten a very fancy new car. And now, she's got a new haircut to add to her long list of cute new stuff.
In a story posted to Snapchat on Sunday night, Jenner revealed a freshly chopped blunt bob that barely skims her shoulders. In the numerous pics she's posted since announcing Stormi's birth — and returning to her A-plus social media game — Jenner has been rocking a set of XL extensions that go all the way down to her waist. It's unclear if Jenner actually cut her hair or if she just got rid of the add-ins, but either way, her new look is the first hair transformation we've seen since the beauty mogul became a mom.
The 20-year-old is no stranger to switching up her 'do: She's rocked every look from mint green to platinum blond to bubblegum pink. The last time her hair was this short was last fall, when her best friend, Jordyn Woods, cut it into a similarly styled bob with a set of kitchen shears. Naturally, the pair shared the entire transformation on social media, joking with Jenner's hairstylist Andrew Fitzsimmons that he'd better "watch out" for his job. TBD if Woods was the mastermind behind her most recent cut.
Despite her recent decision to shed her luscious mermaid waves, it doesn't look like the world will be seeing any crazy color changes from Kylie any time soon. Last year, on an episode of Life of Kylie, she admitted that she was over having "weird hair." "Honestly, guys, I don't want to disappoint anybody, I just want my hair long and black and pretty," she said, noting that she was no longer interested in "keeping up with this lifestyle of crazy hair and wigs and stuff."

Creating Championship Cultures
You've likely heard this before.
To get everyone pulling on the same rope, high-end, high-functioning organizations place a huge emphasis on leadership and culture.
Sounds simple enough.
But, why is it so rare to witness or be a part of those high-performance environments?
When you think about it, they're about as scarce as a Stanley Cup parade in Toronto!
The very best organizations are always in teaching mode; guiding their people on how to be great leaders and how to maintain the culture as they have defined it.
Few people know this better than one of North America's leading experts on decoding the language of culture and why it matters in everyday activities.
And he has got a Stanley Cup ring to prove it.
With more than 1,000 NHL games on his resume, Ryan is now a sought-after speaker and facilitator in the business arena; helping organizations chart a winning course for high performance, leadership and team achievement.
Join us in the face-off circle for a conversation on Creating Championship Cultures with Leadership Expert Ryan Walter on this edition of Leaders & Legends.
