Reading 2: Danny's Diary
The following excerpts are from the diary of Ella McDannel, nanny for the Douglas family from 1909 to 1930. The diary entries span from 1910 to 1914, however the layout is unusual. Each date has a separate page with sections/spaces for five years (1910-1914) worth of writing below the date.
Of the Douglases' employees, their nanny had a particularly close relationship to the family. Ella McDannel, fondly nicknamed "Danny" by the Douglas girls, worked for the family for over twenty years. She was an American-born woman, the same age as Mrs. Douglas, and had a nursing degree. Danny's primary duties involved caring for the three girls. In her diary, she documented their milestones, health, birthdays, and other events. Danny's diary also describes her daily activities and those of other servants. It suggests that even though servants had specialized jobs, they shared some duties and assisted one another. Danny's tasks included cleaning, dusting, sewing, and washing Mrs. Douglas's hair. She stayed with the family long after they needed the services of a nanny. In her later years at Brucemore, the city directories list her as "maid" or "housekeeper." She left the family by 1930 but remained in contact with them for the rest of her life.

Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez have wed in an intimate ceremony in the groom's native France.
The pregnant actress, 46, exchanged vows with Martinez, 47, at the Chateau des Conde in Vallery on Saturday in front of just 60 guests, including Martinez's mother, Rosemarie, and brother, Vincent.
Photos obtained by WENN show the bride wearing a traditional white gown as she arrived at the church in a vintage white car, decorated with lace.
According to local reports, a civil union was held first, in accordance with French law, followed by a religious ceremony in the village chapel.
The wedding reception was held outdoors and fireworks lit up the sky in celebration.
Berry began dating Martinez, who previously romanced Australian pop star Kylie Minogue, in 2010 after meeting on the set of their film flop "Dark Tide," and they became engaged last year.
In April, the Oscar winner revealed she was three months pregnant with the couple's first child, a half-brother for her 5-year-old daughter Nahla, from her relationship with French Canadian model Gabriel Aubry.
It is Berry's third trip down the aisle; she had previously sworn off marriage following failed unions to baseball player David Justice and singer Eric Benet. It is the first marriage for Martinez.

^As in female nudity? To be honest.... I kinda forgot (which reminds me, I gotta backtrack through the older chapters sometime soon). I know Araki does male nudity from time to time though (obviously censored, of course). However, I do recall an old one-shot manga he did prior to Jojo called Gorgeous Irene that had boobies (and this one villain who had to be the ugliest chick I've ever seen).....
Anyway, now that a translation for chapter 3 is out:

I think we do see one of Lucy Steel's nipples in Steel Ball Run during chapter 62: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. It's not very noticeable since she's in a dark room at the time.

I've got a confession to make: I've never successfully read Jojo.
Don't get me wrong, I tried several times. And don't get me even more wrong, this is definitely not a bash Jojo post. Rather, I have a dilemma: I've just started Jojolion, through chapter 3, it's strange beyond comprehension. There's a main character who looks like a fabulous African-American superstar (Prince?) with strange body issues, there's strange things happening, a Stands power (I imagine I have to read the earlier Jojo arcs to get this, right?), and of course the overall art style which is indisputably one-of-a-kind. Oh, and the spoiler above put forth a name I expect I should recognize and is apparently a shocking revelation for old-time fans. It's crazy weird, crazy crazy weird.
Now, I know of Jojo's stature as a manga; I know a bit about its overall structure as separate story arcs with different characters; I think if I managed to read it "successfully" I might even come to swear by it like its fans do. But the hurdle, the "learning curve," it's bloody high. It's so, well, bizarre, the pacing, the art, the character designs and their figure and movements and reactions -- not just Jojolion (which taken alone would just be a really strange and interesting manga), but the whole saga.
As such, what would you veterans recommend for a novice like me? Should I continue with Jojolion and ride with it as it develops "real-time"? Should I start somewhere else in the series? What sort of mindset is required to overcome the first hurdle so I can get on with enjoying it?

^ Each arc is usually stand alone with a few callbacks to let the reader know it's in the same bizarre universe. In order to understand the various references and quirks in Jojolion (part 8), you would need to read the fourth part. I think you should start with the third part just to understand how stands work and is the point where the series gains its identity, but you'd need to get used to the older style of shonen artwork. Overall the series is, in my opinion, gloriously awesome.

Well Jojo has always been over the top crazy and weird; it definitely lives up to the bizarre in the title, so that's something you'll probably have to accept in order to enjoy it. The story arcs all feature different heroes, villains, and plots, so for the most part, you don't have to read them in order though a few plot points will make more sense if you've followed the series from the beginning.
I'd say the best places to start are:
The very beginning with Part 1 Phantom Blood. The art work is not as good as later volumes and the pacing may seem slow for the first few chapters, but, at least for me, it really picks up around the Jonathon vs Vampire Dio fight in chapter 17 or so. It's also the shortest story arc, only 44 chapters long.
Part 2 Battle Tendency- it's the most stand alone story arc.
Part 3 Stardust Crusaders- which is where the series' famous Stands are introduced for the first time. It gives away Part 1's ending though.
Part 7 Steel Ball Run-- it's a sequel/reboot/alternate universe kind of thing.
Since Jojolion has only just started, I recommend putting it on hold for now and start with some of the above arcs.

So, I should either start at Part 1, 2, 3, or 7?
I don't have a problem with old shounen art styles, though really Jojo's art is beyond anything I've ever seen. I guess if Part 3 is where it "gains its identity" then Part 3 is where I'll start.
Will report back on the results...sometime. I think it's probably best if I start reading Jojo when the moon is fully waxed and the fey mood touches. Wish me luck, gentlemen.

If you want to be totally spoiler free, then I think Part 1 would be the best though if you've already done research on the series you might have figured out how it ends already.
Araki's art style has changed a lot over the years, to the point that some story arcs look completely different from each other. I guess the simplest way to put is, Parts 1-3 have super muscular men a la Fist of the North Star, Part 4 is sort of a transition period, Parts 5 onwards goes for a more flamboyant style.
Well, in any case, hope you like it.

If you're unsure whether you'll like Jojo, I'd say you should start with Steel Ball Run, since:
- It's a reboot, so you won't get spoiled about former parts. There are some nods to previous parts, but nothing too important. You won't lose anything by not knowing about them, unlike with Jojolion where the references seem relevant.
- What makes Jojo so unique (the humor, the stands, the smart battles, the WTF,...) is all there whereas part 1 is completely different from the rest of the manga, and might give you the wrong idea about what Jojo is.
- It's one of the very best part of the manga.
- Gyro motherfucking Zeppeli.

Gay wedding complaint filed vs. Methodist pastors
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A complaint has been filed against 36 United Methodist ministers who blessed a same-sex wedding in defiance of church law.
The pastors blessed the Nov. 9 ceremony at Philadelphia's Arch Street United Methodist Church to show support for a colleague who faced church discipline for presiding over his gay son's wedding. The Rev. Frank Schaefer was defrocked following a church trial, but his ordination was reinstated by an appeals panel last month.
Bishop Peggy Johnson of the church's eastern Pennsylvania conference said in a statement that she is following the church's disciplinary process.
"We are ... prayerful that a just resolution can be achieved. As United Methodists we are committed to seeking peace and reconciliation as a model for society. May it be so," Johnson said.
About 50 church members from the Philadelphia area, most of them clergy, were behind the complaint, said John Lomperis, director of the United Methodist Action Program at The Institute on Religion and Democracy, a conservative think tank. He said he had discussions with some of them as they planned it, but he was not directly involved.
"It's been all these months, and there's been no sort of strong response by Bishop Johnson," Lomperis said. "The people involved wanted to give Bishop Johnson every chance to be a leader. It was only after there had been every chance for her to respond that the complaints were filed."
Johnson's assistant said Thursday she would have no comment beyond her statement. Officials at Arch Street United Methodist also declined comment.
The United Methodist Church, the nation's second-largest Protestant denomination with 12 million members worldwide, accepts gay members but bans "self-avowed practicing homosexuals" from becoming clergy and forbid ministers from performing same-sex marriages. The issue has caused a split within the church.
The clergy taking part in last year's wedding at Arch Street jointly blessed the union of two men, intoning, "Those whom God has joined together, let no one put asunder."
The wedding was ceremonial because Pennsylvania's gay-marriage ban was still on the books at the time. A federal judge overturned the ban in May.

Interview- Bean Counting 101 with Wild Nothing
Give or take a Jack Rose (R.I.P.), Jack Tatum is the most successful musician to emerge from Blacksburg in at least a decade. The early home recordings he made as Wild Nothing while studying at Virginia Tech had enough melody cutting through the fuzz that it only took a MySpace friend request to attract the attention of Captured Tracks head honcho Mike Sniper, who oversaw the release of Gemini in early 2010. That album in turn drew substantial acclaim from Pitchfork, whose "Best New Music" award can almost single-handedly turn an obscure record into a sales juggernaut, at least in relative terms. Not that it matters–- no matter how grim the economics of indie rock might get, Tatum's generation will probably be a lot harder to discourage.
The Hook: You got started after the music industry had pretty much burned to the ground. Does that make it hard for you to expect financial returns from this?
Jack Tatum: It's kind of exciting in a way, because I think if you do it right and are patient, there's still money to be had–- not that that's, like, the important thing. I think there's still such a big place for live music, and I don't think that's something that will ever go away.
The Hook: What was the best reaction you got to the Pitchfork endorsement?
Jack Tatum: I think some of my friends set off some fireworks or something, but that's totally dorky and I don't even want to talk about it.
The Hook: One of the more interesting perspectives I've read in defense of Pitchfork's enthusiasm for lo-fi bedroom-recording indie-pop projects like yours is that it's a valid cultural response to the economic collapse of 2008, art as a response to circumstance.
Jack Tatum: That sounds like reading too much into it. What I do is not really a response to anything. I recorded it the way I did not because the economy was failing and the music industry was failing, but just because I was a 19-year-old kid that didn't have any money to begin with.
The Hook: So no matter whether the music industry is broke, or the American workforce is broke, college students are always broke.
Jack Tatum: Yeah. But now because the music industry, well, it's pretty much failed at this point, you don't have to record in a studio anymore. I didn't spend any money at all making the record.
The Hook: So in a sense the return you've made on that must be pretty substantial.
Jack Tatum: Yeah, absolutely.
The Hook: One of the things that pops up when I search for you on YouTube is an interview which was sponsored by Converse. Did you hear that they opened up a recording studio in Brooklyn which is free to independent musicians?
Jack Tatum: That kind of stuff is bizarre. I guess a lot of it has to do with making your company seem cool and hip or something. Converse tries to give away their shoes a lot. I got a free pair. We played a show, and for whatever reason Converse was sponsoring it, so we got free shoes and did an interview.
The Hook: If you had to pick a big soulless corporation to sponsor your next tour, who would it be?
Jack Tatum: Hmm, that's a good question. Maybe Reese's?
Wild Nothing performs at
the Twisted Branch Tea BazaarTrinity Irish Pub on February 10 at 8pm. Tickets are $8 in advance or $10 at the door.

Are You Having A Hard Time Getting Clients?
This is something I am very passionate about, because I want you to succeed at your very best. I know you have such immense potential, but you have to know one thing:
If you're not getting clients, it may be because you are simply trying too hard to do so right away.
If you are constantly "selling" the moment you join a group or connect with someone new, yet aren't actually seeing any sales then you are exactly who needs to hear this.
Yes, I understand that your program or product is amazing… but the thing is that they are NEVER going to see that UNLESS you have the right solution.
So what would that solution be?
You need to get back to focusing on the VALUE you give to others. The most successful people teach what they know for free to help others see things from a completely fresh perspective or to learn something about themselves or their business that they had no idea about before. You have to educate them, be convicted by it's importance, and build your community!
If the first thing you do when you join a new Facebook group is immediately SELL or PM someone with that "PERFECT SOLUTION", or write on someone's VALUE POST with your program for sale, then please… just STOP, take a step back and look at what you're doing.
You're asking someone to get married without first inviting them out for coffee. This is a HUGE turnoff for anyone, but especially for people in this industry. We are the difference makers. The purpose-driven entrepreneurs who are on a mission. Seeing pitches all day long will do nothing for you… and will hurt you in the long run.
As a coach or service provider, your business will only THRIVE in this niche when you build relationships and give free value out to others FIRST, before you invite them to work one on one with you.
What are some ways you can build relationships?
Get on Periscope and talk about your area of expertise, host a webinar, create a Facebook group of your own, write articles on your blog, post helpful tips and encouragement in Facebook groups, create a free gift you can give away to build your own email list, HAVE AN EMAIL LIST, run a fun free challenge, there are so many ways and these are just a few.
It all comes down to being authentic, and being human with your marketing. I know you're better than this and you feel icky every time you try to SELL, SELL, SELL.
Why? When your main focus is to SELL (and are forgoing the relationship building), then you are removing the human being from the equation. You are looking at people as dollar signs, rather than as an actual person, as a human being. It's time to shift your focus from SELL, to VALUE. How can you give more value to others?
When you give good to others, it always comes back.
The Difference Between a Website, Opt-In Page, and Sales Page
Have you ever been confused with all of the talk about opt-in pages, landing pages, websites, lead pages, squeeze pages, sales pages and just don't know what the differences are between them and which ones you actually need?
Today you are going to LOVE me, because I am going to clear all of that up and let you know the 3 essential things you need to have to build up your successful online entrepreneurial brand. Each of these 3 things are vitally important when building your business and once you know and apply this information, it is sure to skyrocket your success and help you attract even more of your dream clients. WHY? Because this is the stuff that works!
So, what are the 3 web essentials?
As an online entrepreneur, you should have:
- a website
- an opt-in page (or several)
- a sales page (or few)
When it comes to your online presence, outside of your main social media channels, you don't need anything besides these 3 things.
You may be thinking, "Okay, that's great! But what exactly are these three things and the differences between them?"
…. let's dive in, shall we?
I'm going to start off by talking about your website, because your website is the foundational place where you build out your online brand. This is your core. It is where your message lives and breathes. Everything is built from your foundational website. When working with my private design and coaching clients, I design and build their 6 vital pages to start with that every entrepreneur and coach MUST HAVE as part of their website. What are these 6 pages? Your Home Page, your About Page, your Work with Me Page, your Contact Page, your Discovery Call Page, and your all-important Blog Page. Your website contains all 6 of these primary pages and most of these pages appear as links/buttons/tabs at the top of your website (also known as your website's navigation or menu area). These pages are crafted for your dream clients to find your content, soak in your message and get to know all about you and what you can do to help them.
Just like I tell my clients—your website is essentially your "online hub". It is the place that everything else branches out from. Once you have your website in place, you can add sales pages, hidden opt-in pages, and even membership areas to house your online course or group programs. You can get discovery call applications from your website and bring in new people onto your list through your blog articles that you post. (Yes, you get relevant website traffic by simply showing up as you and providing valuable content for others to learn from!)
Your website's main mission is to communicate your message, share valuable content for free, bring traffic to your site, get people on your list, and attract clients!
Your sales page is a one-page webpage that goes excruciatingly in-depth about your program or package and the results that your visitors will get by becoming clients and buying the offering you are selling. You should have one sales page per each and every package, program, product, or offering that you have for sale for people to purchase. This page must speak to your dream client's biggest struggle pain point, connect with your dream client by understanding the pain they are experiencing, then take your dream client on a journey of what it would be like to have it all go away, and how working with you is the bridge that they are looking for to get them where they want to go, so that they can experience success in whatever area that you help them with specifically with your program. Your sales page typically do not have any menu navigation at the top (no home, about, contact, etc…), and they always have one direct call-to-action (or more) that instructs the person on your page where they should click in order to buy your spectacular offering that will help get them to a better place in their life or business.
Your sales page's mission is to connect, provide the exact solution your dream client is looking for, and SELL.
Your opt-in page could be called many different things (squeeze page, landing page, lead page, etc.) but they all essentially mean the same thing. This is a one page webpage, similar to the sales page in that regard, however this page is MUCH simpler and very direct and to the point immediately upon landing on the page.
If you've never examined one before (although as an entrepreneur, you have probably seen plenty), the only thing that is on this page is a catchy headline, simple and compelling copy, a picture of the freebie you're giving away, and an opt-in form with a strong call-to-action button that is connected with your email provider to capture names and email addresses. All information should appear above-the-fold (the area that someone sees before they begin scrolling down your page). You want to make sure that this page is very clear and only talks about the free gift that the person on the page will receive. You don't want ANY distractions on this page, which means no navigation menu (NO: home, about, contact, etc).
Your opt-in page's mission is to entice your dream client into making them feel super comfy with giving away their email address and giving you access to their inbox in exchange for your free gift lead magnet!
That is it! Now you should have a very good grasp of the 3 essential things that you need as an entrepreneur for your online presence that will help take your brand and business to the next level. Building your online brand is of course a process, so feel free to start with your website or your opt-in page depending on where you are at, and then grow from there. Because, in order to be set up in the most strategic and effective way, you will want all 3 of these things working together to serve you and to attract the people you desire to help. Without all three, your online brand will simply not be as healthy as it could be. As an entrepreneur, settling with just having your website (while a great and very important thing to have) can be compared to a tree without its branches. Without branches and leaves, the tree just can't thrive like it is meant to. Your opt-in pages and sales pages are the branches your website needs so that you and your message can thrive like it is meant to!
Now I want to hear from you! Do you have any questions about any of these 3 essentials you need implemented in your online entrepreneurial expert brand? If so, post below or send me a message and I'd be happy to help clear things up even further for you!
How To Get Everything Done and Stay Sane in the Process!
When it comes to running your online business, there are so many moving parts that YOU HAVE to MAKE MOVE, especially in the beginning when you are really just starting to build out your online empire.
So many things that can make your head spin…
There is the lead magnet creation, the list building, the list nurturing, the blog articles, the daily Facebook posts and Facebook ads, the live online events to host, the sales pages, the opt-in pages, the website, the business planning, the continued business education & application, the video messages, the periscopes, keeping up your Instagram and Pinterest, the connection calls, the joint venture partnerships, the discovery calls, the client coaching calls, and for me the brand and website design work for my clients. PHEW… what a mouthful!!!
Since there are so many things that you want to do, it can very EASILY head towards a burnout super fast without any warning, if you don't have the right plan in place. I know. It's happened to me.
Here I was with every single thing that I have to do in my head and on paper, and yet had no clear plan of action of what in the world the best thing to do first is. I would start working on one thing, then decide that the next thing should probably be the better thing to focus on, then realize I need to finish the last, but then I jump on Facebook and realize oh wait! I should probably write another post or answer that message that I forgot to answer and then before I know it, I am sucked into the Facebook vortex. At the end of the day, what's accomplished? A miniscule amount, if barely anything at all.
That doesn't serve anyone and it certainly doesn't serve me.
BECAUSE, without a clear vision, people perish.
After so many days of this, I had an ugly, crying burnout breakdown in front of my poor unsuspecting husband. It was awful and it was at that time when I realized that – if I'm going to get ANYTHING done, and done well to the level of quality I hold myself to, then I need to get things in gear and put a strategic plan of action together.
So, I took a blank piece of paper and started mapping out my month. First, I decided what the most important tasks are that need to get done each month, each week, and each day. Once I had those tasks solidified, I begin planning out my month on my calendar starting with my once a month task(s), my bi-weekly tasks, and my daily tasks. Then the things I need to do daily I batch together with similar things that need to be done weekly such as my Facebook post writing paired with my blog article, and my weekly email to my community of subscribers. They all get done on the same day for the entire week. I then set aside specific days and times for business growth work, client work, discovery calls (allowing enough variation of time slots throughout the week to account for different time zones), and then re-assigned my online calendar to reflect the time slots I am available, and the time slots that I am not.
I cannot tell you just how much this has freed up my mind and set it at ease again! As an online solo-preneur, you can really only learn as you go throughout the process of building your brand. The more you build, the more amazing ideas come to you (it's crazy how this works) and the more you have to reassess the things that work for you, and the things that no longer serve you as you move forward with building your dream so you can make the difference you desire to make.
Ever since I have been batching tasks, it has kept me from insanity and burnout again, so I am super confident that it will serve you too. So, if you are overwhelmed right now with the crazy amount of things that you need to do, to stay up on everything, then try batching your tasks to happen during chunks of time throughout the week. Focus on only one task at a time (and therefor escaping overwhelm) and see how it works for you! I find that I can actually breathe now because I know that as long as I get the task in front of me done, everything that needs to get done will be taken care of – one hour, one day, one week at a time.
And so it has!
When Is It Time To Re-Brand Your Business?
Changing your visuals can be a pretty big endeavor, so of course it's not something you want to do on a whim, but instead when you find yourself in one of three phases in your business so that you can purposefully and strategically become more in alignment with who you are, what you are here to provide, and who you are here to help.
So what are those three phases? The first would be when you shift your focus and become even clearer on the types of offerings you want to provide others. The second would be when the description of who your dream client either changes or becomes more focused. The third (and probably one of the most common reasons) is when you are still running on your "starter" visuals and could just plain use a revamp to take things to the next level!
#1) Let's say that you are shifting your focus in business.
Perhaps you started out as life coach helping people in pretty much any area of their life that they need help in and you suddenly realize that where your real passion lies is helping others organize and manage their day to make the biggest impact and feel the most fulfilled with what they have accomplished. This is a viable time to think about a rebranding, because your focus has shifted, and so it gives you the opportunity to make your messaging and visuals tighter and more in alignment with your new calling.
#2) Let's say the people you want to serve has changed or gotten more defined.
Perhaps you have been a relationship coach for single men and women for a long time, but then you realize that who you most resonate with is the single woman and helping her through changing her love story. This is a great time to reconsider your messaging and visual branding to appeal greater to your new dream client avatar. The colors can change from your current masculine approach to taking on a softer hue that appeals more to the women you'd like to attract.
#3) Let's say you are still running on your "starter" website (and it looks it!)
If you are still running on the "starter" website or other branding visuals and it shows (coming off as amateur), then this is probably one of the most important times to think about a rebrand to truly position yourself as the expert that you are and make an even greater impact to attract and bring in more of your dream clients.
So what about you? Do any of these 3 circumstances speak to your current situation?
If so, then you're in the exciting position to begin thinking about a rebrand for your business! When everything that makes up your brand is working together in unison (copy, website, social pages, pictures, lead magnets, emails etc), it will help you to magnetically attract the clients that you desire and get you do what you love the most – working with your clients and seeing the significant shifts happen in their lives because of your work together!
Have any questions or have you been through a rebrand yourself? Comment below and tell me about the process!
Are You Struggling to Make Your Coaching Business Work?
Are you a purpose-driven entrepreneur who is making next to nothing and just struggling right now in your business?
If so, I have some words for you.
Just because you aren't making 6-Figures yet (or heck, even 5-Figures), with your business now, it does NOT mean that you never will.
Just because the people around you don't see or share in your vision, it doesn't mean that it won't happen for you.
Why do I believe that? Because as a coach/entrepreneur wanting to help others improve some area of their lives is much needed and what you have to give to the world is so important.
Where you are now and where you want to go is so achievable. You are immensely powerful and are capable of more than you may realize.
So when it gets tough continuing to persevere, hold on to that dream. Remember the reason why you are going after your dream in the first place.
… For your family to get out of the poor money mindset
… For you to give generously to others in need around you
… To provide for your family and give them unlimited opportunities
… To travel and explore the world.
… To live fully alive and making a difference in the lives of others
… To make the world a better place by being in it!
You are important.
You are special.
When you feel like giving up. Don't.
Nothing is ever achieved that way.
Don't be discouraged! YOU WILL GET THERE.
Have faith that you are meant to be a success and doing work that you absolutely love with people who really need you and what you have to give them to help improve their lives.
This dream of helping others is part of you. God placed it within you, so since it is there, it must be right.
When you are in connection to what He requires, He will give you all the desires of your heart.
However you have to not only have faith, but also do the action required every single day to take you to where you want to go.
Because faith without action is dead. However the two together is a winning combination that will take you to places you didn't even before imagine were possible with your current reality.
Faith + Action = Success, Blessings, and Abundance.
So wherever you are now, whatever your current reality looks like – don't give up. Just have faith it is meant for you and take action until you are exactly where you want to be.
I believe in you. <3

Is Fear Holding You Back?
Yes, you read that right. Can you believe it?
Not being "legal" to drive until you are in your mid-20s?
Pretty crazy isn't it? Yet it's so true.
So, what took me so long? It really boils down to one word: FEAR. Fear held me back and absolutely paralyzed me to actually get myself on the road and in the DMV to take the freaking test. Want to know what it feels like to have gotten 5 temporary permit licenses, yet not the real deal? Well Gorgeous, it absolutely sucks!
It sucks mainly because I was the only one getting in my own way, holding myself back with repetitive, negative self-talk.
…"You can't get it, are you kidding?."
…"You'll never have your license."
…"You're doomed to have a supervised permit all of your life"
…"You can't be trusted behind the wheel."
…"You just aren't safe to be in the car with anyways – why even try."
…"They're judging you."
…"You'll be the one giving people road-rage"
…"You won't meet their expectations."
…"It's too scary."
…"You'll have another panic attack."
It was a spiral of negativity… a pool of pessimism, and I was soaking in it.
At the time, I couldn't see myself ever actually having my license and being able to drive by myself in my own car. It seemed out of reach… unachieveable.
BUT WHY???? Because it hadn't happened yet, and when I began telling myself it never would, there's no reason why it should.
Fast forward to now, I have so much fun driving down the highway and around town in my Honda CRV, going to networking events, taking my younger brothers places, visiting friends and working at coffee shops.
So when was the shift?
It happened the moment my father passed away. The moment he slipped away, was the moment my eyes were opened to just how incredibly precious this life is and then I realized that I was WASTING IT WITH FEAR and because of this, I wasn't living at my highest potential and right then, I vowed to stop getting in my own way, to stop playing it small, and GET OUT THERE and GET IN THE GAME. It was then when I realized that I was the only one holding myself back and it was time to be able to look at myself in the mirror with happiness, love, and joy instead of what had come to be utter disgust and disappointment.
Through the most challenging time of my life as I was facing the reality of losing my father (who I was so close to) it was then my life began to change, and I began doing the things I always wanted to do, yet was afraid (more like PETRIFIED) of doing. It started with driving. After 8 years of putting it off, just two months after setting the intention and visualizing that it was actually going to happen, I had my license and then a car of my own and I was ecstatic. I fought through the self-doubt, felt the fear, yet did what I needed to do anyway because I knew it was something that I wanted to manifest into my life in order to take me where I wanted to go.
Next was public speaking, completely destroying the low-income mindset, traveling to new cities, and connecting with new people. I have successfully done all of these and am working more and more on setting and reaching the "next level" for each.
Shifting my mindset, stepping out of my own way (not letting fear rule my decisions), and realizing that this life is incredibly precious and is meant to be lived boldly as the truest, most confident version of myself has made all of the difference in the world for me, and my drive to make things happen is incredible compared to where I once was. I feel so much better because now I know that once you set the intention, and not let anything that happens to creep up stop you from reaching that goal, then you WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN.
Driving, Public Speaking, Travel, Financial Abundance, Love, Business Success, Specific Dreams, etc. Whatever it is that you want, you will make happen if you believe that it will and keep taking action until it does.
So that's my story. What's yours?
Was there a time in your life where you let FEAR to rule your decisions and hold you back from living the life you were meant to live?
If so, what was your demarcation line where you said "NO MORE!"? I'd love, love, love to hear it!

Amaretto Sour
This week I'm going to cover one of those deceptively simple cocktails. The Amaretto Sour only has two ingredients, Amaretto and Lemon Juice and yet it is so often executed poorly. I guarantee if you've ordered an Amaretto Sour out somewhere you've been served a poorly prepared drink. Why? Sour mix.
The classic recipes call for lemon juice and I assure you the drink was created with fresh lemon juice in mind. When you use sour mix you get a sweeter drink than you will with fresh juice which, in turn, throws off the balance of the drink. So, on that note I'll leave you with this example of how not to make the drink followed by a recipe on how to make it.
Amaretto Sour (Joy of Mixology)
2 oz Amaretto 1 oz Lemon Juice 1 Maraschino Cherry 1/2 Orange Wheel
1) Combine amaretto and lemon juice over ice 2) Shake and strain into a chilled sour glass 3) Garnish with cherry and orange wheel

KAOHSIUNG, Taiwan — The 12,000 people who fled in fear of more gas pipeline explosions in Taiwan's second-largest city returned to their homes Friday after authorities said there was no more risk of blasts like the series that devastated a more than 2 square kilometers (1 square mile) area, killing 26 people and injuring 267.
With clean-up work underway, investigators were turning to the task of determining the cause of the blasts, the industrial city's worst such disaster in 16 years.
Most of the four ruptured street sections in the densely populated district of Kaohsiung had been declared safe from further explosions by afternoon, a city spokesman said. A fire in a 10-meter (yard) -long section that burned through the night had also been put out.
Five explosions ripped through four streets starting around midnight Thursday, catapulting cars into the air and blasting cement rubble at passers-by, many of whom were out late because of a nearby night market.
That came about three hours after a gas leak had been reported on Kaixuan Road, but emergency services had been unable to locate the source.
Four firefighters were among the victims and two were missing, while at least six fire trucks were flung into the rubble. The blasts sent flames shooting into the sky and hurled concrete through the air, leaving broad, meter-deep (yard-deep) trenches down the middle of roads.
Many of the injured were still receiving emergency treatment. The disaster was Taiwan's second in as many weeks following the crash of a TransAsia Airways prop jet on the island of Penghu on July 23 that killed 48 people and injured 10.
"Last night around midnight, the house started shaking and I thought it was a huge earthquake, but when I opened the door, I saw white smoke all over and smelled gas," said Chen Qing-tao, 38, who lives 10 buildings away from the main explosion site.
The explosions were believed caused by leaking propene, a petrochemical material not intended for public use, said Chang Jia-juch, director of the Central Disaster Emergency Operation Center. Chang said the cause and location of the leaks were unknown.
The exploded gas line belongs to government-owned CPC Corp., which told The Associated Press there were no signs of problems before the explosions.
Propene is mainly used for making the plastic polypropylene used in a wide variety of packaging, caps and films. It can be detected by its mildly unpleasant smell.
The city will do a formal probe on what cause the explosions, said city spokesman Ting Yun-kung.
"We haven't started a formal investigation yet, just a partial one," he said. "A full one will take a few days."
Industrial-use pipelines run through the Kaohsiung's residential neighborhoods because industry preceded the construction of housing, Ting said. The port city contains much of Taiwan's heavy industry, especially petrochemicals.
Video from broadcasters showed residents searching for victims overnight in shattered storefronts and rescuers placing injured people on stretchers. Numerous fires sent smoke pouring into the night sky above the Chian-Chen district, where factories operate near low-rise residential buildings.
The government's disaster response center spent much of Friday trying to prevent secondary explosions. With the risk easing after mid-day, all but 300 of an original 12,000 evacuees had left emergency shelters and just one of an initial nine remained open, Ting said.
Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chu had gone on television urging people to take shelter until their neighborhoods were declared safe.
However, disaster officials were still conducting safety checks on some of the damaged homes before letting occupants back in.
Many of the dead and injured had been outside near a night market and were hit by flying rubble or cars, a police officer at the scene said. Police and firefighters suffered burns while trying to control blazes.
Area resident Chang Bi-chu, 63, described seeing dead bodies along the roadside. "I felt really bad. After all, there just was the air crash in Penghu last week."
Chang said the front door of her home was warped by the explosion and power was cut, leaving the house without lights or fans in the steamy weather.
"We don't have money to stay in a hotel and they're all booked anyway," she said.
Power supplies to 12,000 people in the area were severed, and 23,600 lost gas service. Some power had been restored to homes in the area by late Friday.
Backhoes pulled upended fire trucks and other vehicles from the rubble much of Friday while paramedics with rescue dogs combed the neighborhood for survivors.
Rescuers expected to find few, if any, people in the rubble because no buildings collapsed, said Hsu Lee-hao, a national emergency operations center official.
Large trenches edged with pavement slabs torn apart by the blasts dominated a 2-kilometer area that was cordoned off most of Friday. Burned walls and toppled shop signs lined Sanduo Road, near an elementary school. Television images showed one car vaulted onto a building roof in a particularly powerful blast.
Taiwanese Premier Jiang Yi-huah announced that all flags would fly at half-staff for three days from Aug. 5 in honor of the victims of both the Penghu air crash and Kaohsiung explosion. President Ma Ying-jeou paused at a scheduled event Friday morning to call for a minute of silence.
Much of the drama was captured on closed-circuit television, dashboard cameras and cellphones.
A video showed an explosion rippling through the floor of a motorcycle parking area, hurling concrete and other debris through the air. Cellphone video captured the sound of an explosion as flames leapt at least 9 meters (30 feet) into the air.
One witness said he tried to help before paramedics arrived.
"I was on my scooter just across the street, suddenly there was the explosion, a white car was blown toward me, and I saw the driver trapped in the car," said Wong Zhen-yao, 49, owner of a car repair shop in the disaster area.
"There was still fire nearby. I tried to pull the guy out but couldn't," he said. "Only after the smoke was gone did I realize there was such a big hole in the middle of the road."

SingStar is the ugly step-sister of the music genre. It's only loved in one territory, it's one-dimensional, its soundtrack has limited appeal. But there's one area Sony's karaoke series is trumping the competition.
And that's in its digital shopfront. While Rock Band and Guitar Hero are stuck with antiquated stores, accessible only via crude in-game portals or a console's online store, Sony have today launched the "SingStar Viewer", a PS3 application that lets users browse online videos and purchase songs directly from the XMB, without having to access either the game or the PlayStation Store.
For SingStar users, it's mighty useful, both as a shopfront and as a community hub. For everyone else, it's useful too, if only so you can complain to Harmonix and Activision that their respective band games could do with something similar.

Let me guess, you have been playing Universal crossword and got stuck on the clue Nabisco treat. Well, you have come to the right place to find the answer to this clue.
While some crosswords are much simpler than others, most require that players have a vast knowledge of the language and possibly even various topics.

Terrytoons Treats
I've been asking you for weeks for help.
But you're not helping
If you were helping it would be different.
And I just want to finish this comic. I've been saying that all along... why aren't you listening to me?
I don't think it is a good habit to abandon things you start. No one is listening to that I am going to finish it and go back to what I am doing before.
I am so stressed out by you
because you don't listen or help.
You don't listen
You're in your own little world that doesn't include giving love and affection or listening to me
You don't believe in the power of love at all.
It shows
I fucking hate this. Everyone harasses and bugs me like they own my life, but where do I spend my time? In a room alone. They don't come visit or care I'm alone
Good ol me, always reliable, waiting at the computer to jump at their beckon call.
Who cares if I have to spend all my time alone and every holiday alone... everyone can overlokk that because I'm just some internet person. I don't exist beyond the internet as a person to anyone.
I think you guys are all being inhumane dicks about everything. No, I'm not going to do what you say all the time, fuck you
If you cared, you'd be here
You wouldn't just treat me like an internet person. I'm not an internet person here to follow your every command.
Sitting by the computer
You all take me for granted
Who gives a shit if the internet person spends Christmas alone
Who cares if the internet person has no money for food or a problem.
Who cares
Go away

The Thanksgiving week rally could continue, but it might be quickly derailed once Congress returns to work next week.
The Dow soared 207 points Monday, to 12,795 in a rally that was fueled in part by hope the "fiscal cliff" negotiations would go well. The S&P 500 jumped 27 to 1386, rising several points above its 200-day moving average, a positive sign.
Dennis Gartman, author of the Gartman Letter, said the market looked technically positive going into Monday, and that changed his negative view of stocks.
(Read More: IRS Holds the Key to 'Fiscal Cliff' Rally)
"The fact that you had what technicians call outside reversals – new lows and a stronger close, a close above the previous day's highs in the Dow, in the Nasdaq, in the S&P and in the Russell. Those sorts of things can't be hoved off and not paid attention to," he said on "Fast Money."
"This probably has some distance to carry. We have to remember we came down almost 1100 Dow points. We came down almost 100 S&P points. You could get a 500 Dow point rally. You could get a 50 point S&P rally very easily," he said. "So yeah, I think there's still more carry through on the upside."
Barry Knapp, head of U.S. equities portfolio strategy at Barclay's, said Monday's rally could continue due to seasonal factors. "There's favorable seasonality in this week," he said. "You get all this hype going into Black Friday. It turns out to be unfounded and things slide back after that. I don't think there's any reason for optimism on the fiscal situation."
With Congress adjourned, markets keyed off the idea that there could be compromise on the fiscal cliff discussions. "This reminds me of August of 2011 when the best thing that happened after the debt ceiling fiasco was Congress going on recess. Just maybe for a couple of days, people forget just how far apart the two sides are," he said.
(Read More: US Tax Breaks Worth $150 Billion Face Axe)
Knapp said earnings and other factors are stacking up against the stock market. "The capital spending environment looks really weak and really weak going into next year as well. It's only going to get worse as fiscal talks go on," he said. "We had a little short covering seasonality rally today, but I certainly wouldn't be chasing it."
One of the main events Tuesday is Fed Chairman en Bernanke's speech at the Economics Club of New York at 12:15 p.m. Traders will be watching for any comments on the Fed's Operation Twist program and its discussions about changing how it communicates about interest rates.
In Operation Twist, the Fed buys longer duration Treasurys and sells an equal amount of shorter term notes. That program expires in December, and there is speculation the Fed will continue making asset purchases, by expanding the size of its $40 billion a month quantitative easing program.
Art Cashin, director of floor operations at UBS, said Bernanke's comments will likely be one of the more interesting events of the day. "He could be, if only because Congress is out of session. The president won't be back. We have this vacuum going on that allowed for this rally today. I'm sure he will be careful and try not to say anything to upset them," Cashin said.
(Read More: Watch Out! Goldman Says Stocks Could Fall Another 8%)
Focus will also be on the euro zone finance ministers, who discuss Greece's bailout and budget reforms. The euro gave up gains after Moody's stripped France of its AAA rating with a one notch cut late Monday. The downgrade follows a similar cut by Standard and Poor's in January.
Crude oil traded lower after the downgrade, but remains supported by the hostilities between Israel and Hamas. Oil rose nearly three percent during the regular session Monday, as Hamas continued to fire rockets at Israel and Israel bombarded Hamas targets in the Gaza strip.
Cliff Watching
Ward McCarthy, chief financial economist at Jefferies, said the markets will remain hypersensitive to fiscal cliff headlines. The fiscal cliff is the $500 billion expiration of tax breaks and the automatic spending cuts that would deliver a double whammy to the economy if Congress does not take action before the end of the year.
"The two issues are the fiscal cliff on which the clock is ticking loudly on, and the second is longer term budget negotiations that would preclude another downgrade in the middle of the year," McCarthy said.
McCarthy said that is too much for Congress to handle in the short period of time before year end. "I've been very negative with their ability to deal with the fiscal cliff. They have their eye on the wrong ball. When I might become more optimistic is when they say we can't get the longer term budget deal done in 2012 and they just get the budget extensions done," he said.
(Read More: Fiscal Cliff - Full Coverage)
McCarthy said he thinks there's room to compromise on tax rates, by moving the top rate to 37.5 and making the income threshold higher than the $250,000 discussed by Democrats. Democrats want to revert to the higher tax rate of 39.6 percent that was reduced in the Bush-era.
Besides Bernanke, there is housing starts data for October at 8:30 a.m. ET. Hewlett-Packard reports earnings before the opening bell, as does Best Buy, Campbell Soup, Medtronic, DSW, Hormel and Chico's FAS .

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Racing at home on the Housatonic River the Yale heavyweight crew team defeated Dartmouth in four out of four races on Saturday morning. In flat conditions the Bulldogs defended their home course and will keep the Olympic Axe for another year.
To kick things off Yale had a big win in the third varsity eight. Yale started a few seats up to account for being on the outside of the turn that comes around the halfway point in the racecourse. The Bulldogs took a few more seats off the start, keeping their bow ball in front throughout the first half of the race. Coming around the turn, Yale continued to hold off the Big Green and established an open water margin that would carry them through to the finish.
Third Varsity Eight
Yale 5:49.59
Dartmouth 5.55.70
In the second varsity eight race the Bulldogs had their biggest win of the day. Lining up in lane two Yale had a clean start and found a good rhythm early in the race. Coming around the turn the Bulldogs made a big move that helped grow their lead to what was more than ten seconds at the finish line.
Second Varsity Eight
Yale 5:46.00
Dartmouth 5:56.3
The varsity eight race was the only race in which Yale raced in the inside lane and so here the Bulldogs started down at the start. The Big Green got off the line quick and continued to lead for much of the first half of the race. By the halfway mark the Bulldogs had pulled even and made a move on the inside of the turn to take a lead. Dartmouth stayed in contact with Yale for a long time but Yale turned it on in the final moments of the race and finished a length up on the Big Green.
Varsity Eight
Yale 5:41.2
Dartmouth 5:43.9
The final race of the day was the varsity four where Yale again started on the outside lane. The Bulldogs took their lead from the stagger and stretched it out right from the start, ultimately crossing the line more than nine seconds faster than the Dartmouth crew to complete a clean sweep for the Bulldogs.
Varsity Four
Yale 6:27.0
Dartmouth 6:36.1
The heavyweights will hit the road next weekend, traveling to Philadelphia, Pa., to race against Columbia and Penn on Apr. 20 for the Blackwell Cup.

iPad 3 Specs and Features
Do you like this story?
iPad 3 Specs and Features
Camera flash
From the very second the the first iPad was launched we could hear cries of "what, no camera?" ringing out across the globe. A front-facing camera seemed like rather a daft omission for a product that was otherwise perfectly suited for FaceTime calling, so Apple did the right thing and introduced one on the iPad 2. Also new to the second-gen model was a rear-facing camera which, in reality, will be ignored by many iPad 2 owners although it might have looked a bit silly without one, compared to its rival brands and their camera-heavy tablets. Whether it's really needed or not, we'd be very surprised if a camera flash didn't materialise on the iPad 3, if only to sake the thirst of the spec-hungry techosphere.
This might not be a must for everyone yet as it's only any use if you've got yourself some other DLNA pieces of kit to stream your content to. The iPad 2 currently limits streaming to Apple TV and AirPlay-enabled speakers, whereas it would be nice to have the choice of which products you can stream to, rather than being tethered to Apple-sepcific devices. We've got our fingers crossed, but we reckon this might be one area where Apple won't budge - at least not for a while yet.
iPad 2 users have the option of buying the Apple Camera Conneciton Kit which will let you transfer files from an SD card or directly from a camera using a USB cable. It seems like a hell of lot of messing about considering that pretty much every laptop and tablet under the sun has a built-in SD card slot and at least one USB port. Apple insisted doggedly for years that its Firewire was the connector of choice, before finally relenting and including USB ports on its computers when it was clear that there was little choice. Lets hope that the same happens for it's mobile devices.
iOS 5
While the iPad 2 was introduced in with the updated version of iOS (4.3), what we really want to see is a more dynamic operating system, preferably in the form of iOS 5 and all the goodies that should come with it. It's likely to bring more multitasking options to add to the limited scope offered by the current software, although we know that what everyone is crying our for a Flash-friendly browser. It's debatable just how much the lack of Flash support affects the everyday experience of browsing on the iPad, but it's still a major flaw and one that means that the iPad is a no-no for many. It would also be nice to see wireless syncing thrown into the iOS 5 mix. It's only once all of these things are in place that we're likely to get the "post-PC" experience that Steve Jobs repeatedly referred to at the launch of the iPad 2.
SD card slot
The lack of an expandable memory is something that gadget fans have been banging on about relentlessly since the launch of the very first iPad. Just like the first model, the current version is offered in 16, 32 and 64GB configurations with the latter proving to be more than enough for many users. However, missing expandability is an absolute deal-breaker for many, so until Apple bites the bullet and invests in an SD card slot for its next model, there are plenty of gadgets fans out there who still wouldn't touch the iPad with a bargepole.
Retina display
There were plenty of rumours that the iPad 2 would have a vastly improved display, so when launch day came, we were slightly disappointed to discover the the screen was exactly the same as on the previous model - same size, same resolution. What we'd love to see on the iPad 3 is the Retina Display, as used on the iPhone 4, with its impressive pixel density of 326ppi compared to the 132ppi on offer at the moment.
According to Apple, this sort of density is the maximum that can be processed by the human retina (when the screen is held at a distance of 12 inches). Whether that's entirely true or not is certainly up for debate, but there's no denying that it's an impressive screen and one that could really up the ante for the iPad 3 and put it ahead of its rivals.
Proper HDMI
While it's true that the iPad 2 can support HDMI playback, this is only possible using the Apple Digital AV Adapter, for which you'll have to shell out an extra $39. A bit of a liberty if you've just spent several hundred of your hard-earned pounds on a supposedly HDMI-ready tablet. We'd like to see a proper HDMI port on the next version so that we can hook up our iPad to our HD TV without the need for anything besides an HDMI cable. Speaking of which, it might be nice if there was one of those in the box as well, although we can't see that happening.

Biden Takes Part In MPAA Board Meeting; Suggests Studios Tell Paying Customers They're Thieves
from the that'll-teach-them deptFor all their talk about piracy and yearly losses measured in billions, the big movie studios sure do seem to enjoy smacking their paying customers around with anti-piracy warnings and ads. Consider the poor sucker who actually went out and paid cash money for the latest shiny disc and now has to watch a multitude of eagle-laden logos and horrible analogies parade unskippably across his or her screen before finally being allowed to watch the unskippable trailers before finally being allowed to watch 15 seconds of unskippable animation before they can actually watch the movie they're now regretting having shelled out actual retail price for.
Now, 20th Century Fox has found a new way to pack up paying viewers for another guilt trip, all expenses paid (by the viewer.) If the viewers failed to pick up on any of the front-loaded anti-piracy "education," they're now being graced with a reminder of the "true cost of piracy" right as they exit the theater.
It's hard for Hollywood to explain to consumers about the losses to the movie industry caused by piracy. Especially when talking heads like studio moguls and government officials try and fail. So kudos to Ted Gagliano, president of 20th Century Fox feature post-production, who began putting end cards on the studio's movies like this one.
I agree. It is hard to explain to consumers about these losses, especially when so many highly successful movies have failed to turn a profit. It's also hard to explain things using imaginative interpretations of severely extrapolated data that turns the kid bagging your groceries into the equivalent of an executive producer.
This bit of information could conceivably deter a few people from rushing right home and onto the internetz for the "home version." When they see that many people worked many hours, the few not shouting "Citation, needed!" will sleep the sleep of angels, knowing their full retail price ticket purchases will keep the grocery bagger off the street at least one day longer. Their sleep will be even more angelic when they realize who's behind this new idea.
Twentieth Century Fox Film Chairman/CEO Jim Gianopulos tells me that the end card anti-piracy project was suggested by the Obama administration. "It was actually an idea of Vice President Biden's when we visited him during a MPAA Board meeting earlier this year. We thought it was an excellent suggestion and adopted the idea and will continue for all movies going forward."Yes. An elected official in the second most powerful position in the world took time out of his busy schedule to help out some buddies of his who looked like they could use a hand: the always-right-on-death's-doorstep movie industry. And the fact that Joe Biden sits in on MPAA board meetings should concern no one in the slightest, especially when it comes time to discuss things that affect the movie industry -- like free trade agreements that value draconian IP protection over all else.
There's not much real estate left for anti-piracy infotainment. The front end has had it for years. This takes care of the back. Maybe they'll start popping up factoids and warnings at the bottom of the screen during the actual running time, making the movie-going experience indistinguishable from a night in front of broadcast television. Or maybe they're just waiting for the President himself to suggest that one. Perhaps at the next MPAA board meeting.

Chanderpaul Expects Great Show
Port-of-Spain, Trinidad – Guyana batting stalwart Shivnarine Chanderpaul says he's excited and looking forward to today's showdown against Trinidad and Tobago. All the tickets for the game have been sold out long before the match-day and a record crowd of over 20,000 is expected at the Queen's Park Oval.
This is the first time in West Indies cricket history a regional match has been sold out in advance. First ball is 8 pm (7 pm Jamaica Time). The other match today will feature traditional rivals Leeward Islands and Windward Islands at 4 pm (3 pm Jamaica Time).
Chanderpaul is the most experienced and successful player in the tournament and is presently at Number 2 in the ICC Test Match batting rankings. He made his debut for Guyana back in 1992 as a slim teenager, and he has played a record 146 Test matches for the West Indies in close to two decades at the international level.
"This will be a great show! It is really exciting to hear that the match sold out almost two days before we have to play. This has never happened before, at least not since I have been involved in Guyana and West Indies cricket, and this is a wonderful thing. I am really looking forward to playing in the match. This will be great for the game of cricket in the West Indies," the 38-year-old told WICB Media on Friday.
"We know there will be a lot of Trinis in the stand supporting their team and that's fine. They are the home team and that's part of home advantage. But there are also quite a few Guyanese living here so we expect some support as well. A lot of people have also flown in to see the tournament and that will add to the support."
Chanderpaul added: "The way things have been going with our games and the Trinidad games, the people have really caught on and we knew they would come out and support the match. We have played well and we managed to get two hard-fought wins. The 'fellas' have been working really hard and we will come out looking for a win tomorrow. We are proud of what we have done so far but there is still a long way to go."
The former Guyana and West Indies captain has been the anchor at the top of the order in both victories so far. Batsmen have found scoring a challenge and Chanderpaul's contributions have been crucial for Guyana – 38 in the helter-skelter run chase against Combined Campuses and Colleges; and 23 in the low-scoring triumph over Barbados. The left-hander, who has played cricket at every major cricket venue in the world, said a packed Queen's Park Oval is sure to offer a lively atmosphere.
"There is always a buzz at the ground whether you play for Guyana or for the West Indies. The atmosphere is always lively and the fans always get the chance to offer advice to the players. This helps to add a unique kind of flavour that we have here in West Indies," he said.
Going into today's match Guyana have a 100 percent record and are on eight points, while Trinidad and Tobago have nine points from wins against Leewards and Combined Campuses and Colleges and wash out against Jamaica. Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana are the two most successful teams in the Caribbean T20. Guyana won the inaugural tournament in 2010 while the Trinis won back-to-back titles in 2011 and 2012.
Fans in the region can watch the entire tournament live on ESPN Caribbean – the broadcast partner of the West Indies Cricket Board. Additional coverage is available on ESPN's Networks in the UK, Australia, Middle East and Africa. In Canada, fans can see the action via the Titan GSG Media Corporation.

What an incredible photograph! I love it. Look at her waistline! Oh my goodness.ReplyDelete
What a beautiful photo. I, too, am amazed by the tiny waist. Ladies probably became accustomed to corsets in those days.... (Not to say she wasn't small already, of course, just that a corset would enhance a tiny waist.) Her skirt is also quite beautiful with the layer of lace at the bottom. No idea about the instrument. I'm no expert on clothes and hair, but I think maybe your earlier date is closer than your later date for the photo. Thanks for sharing her with us!ReplyDelete
