NFL Draft: Breaking down OT Lane Johnson
The positional journey for Lane Johnson through his collegiate life is truly amazing.
He was a quarterback-turned tight end-turned defensive end-turned offensive tackle, where he now will likely be a top-seven pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.
The Oklahoma Sooners' offensive tackle is a special athlete; he ranked in the top five in all positional drills at the combine, highlighted by his exceptional explosion and change of direction skills.
He played in the Sooners' Air Raid offense, where he was able to play predominantly from a two-point stance. In 2011 he lined up at right tackle, and flipped over to the left side in 2012.
The Good
Pass Blocking
When it comes to the athleticism needed to line up at the tackle position in the NFL, Johnson has that in spades.
Johnson uses his athleticism to get himself into good position on initial contact.
The lineman has the ability to come out slow in his movement, but recover and get on the defender immediately.
Johnson shows an incredible ability to mirror his defender, which again stems from his unbelievable athletic ability.
When he locks onto a defender in pass protection, he is able to move them past the quarterback or stone them and not allow them to advance.
He uses good hand placement and consistently fights to get inside position on his defender's pads.
Run Blocking
While Johnson has issues maintaining his positioning on contact and "holding" onto his man, it's not from lack of effort.
Johnson is still extremely raw in the knowledge and technique base of his game, often taking bad angles, giving up the wrong shoulder, or overall just missing in the run game.
When he does make the right reads, Johnson is ferocious.
He plays with an undeniable nasty streak, playing through the whistle.
He is excellent in space when going toward the edge or getting to the perimeter in the run game.
When asked to move to the second level he does so with extremely light feet, and is excellent in accelerating through his blocks.
The Bad
Technique and Build
Johnson is thin in his frame and lacks the desired build in his lower body at this time.
Too often this will lead to Johnson playing with poor technique in the pass and run game. He can get his base too wide, which causes him to get off balance and the defender to beat him with a counter move.
He didn't give up many sacks, and that's because he was so athletically gifted that when he over-set himself initially, or when he over extended allowing for a counter move, he was able to recover with elite change of direction skill.
When it comes to the run game, we discussed his flaws earlier: He often aims wildly, causing him to take on defenders incorrectly. This will allow the defender to free himself and make plays in the run game.
The Ugly
Athlete vs. Experience
When it comes to Johnson, there is a divide amongst many within the draft community.
Johnson is one of the most elite physical specimens we have seen come out in the draft in years. He moves like a tight end, but has the build and size of a franchise left tackle.
The problem is simply that he's been a left tackle -- and for that matter, a tackle in general -- for such a short time that it's hard to gauge how effective of a player he will be at the immediate onset of his career.
His athletic ability made up for his inexperience technically and allowed him to be a more dominant overall player in games and on film than he actually is.
Can he make the transition from athletic freak to masterful technician and become an elite left tackle in the league? Or is he so raw and underdeveloped that he won't be able to make an impact?
People know I am not overly excited with taking Lane Johnson at the seventh pick in the draft, and it's not because I don't see the upside or potential greatness.
It's simply because the Cardinals -- and mainly Carson Palmer and Bruce Arians -- need a guaranteed upgrade from Levi Brown right now.
Is Johnson an upgrade? I think he can be, but I don't think he will be as soon as he steps on the field. Technically speaking, he needs work on the little things, and while that may lead to him becoming the best left tackle in the draft like some experts are saying, it doesn't mean it will happen in a timely manner.

Viewers saw Timothy Carlton and Wanda Ventham make guest appearances in the New Year's Day episode, The Empty Hearse, playing Sherlock Holmes's family.
And show boss Moffat - who writes the show with Mark Gatiss - laughed off the casting. In an interview on Radio 2's breakfast show, he said: "Well Sherlock largely runs on nepotism. I'm married to the producer, one of the execs is my mother-in-law, Mark and I are old, old friends, Martin (Freeman, who plays Watson) is working with his partner Amanda Abbington. So generally speaking we just don't like to go outside our tiny circle very much. The absolute fact is that once we came up with the idea, wouldn't it be funny for the first time ever in any Sherlock Holmes film if you could see mummy and daddy Sherlock, the fact is his parents are both actors, really good actors, so it was irresistible."
He confirmed he hoped to make further stories for the popular BBC1 show but said it was a case of fitting in with everyone's diaries.
Moffat was dismissive of critics who carped about apparent holes in plots, pointing out the shows were written for sophisticated audiences who had to fill in the pieces themselves.

This can be a very hot and dry place to live, if you own a home here in the Phoenix, Arizona area. There is little water available in this area, but the citizens of the Phoenix area live in comfort. This is why they live in air conditioned homes, and this is why they live in this area during the winter. But the climate means they have issues with Fire Ants, Scorpions, and Black Widows that are a big problem as they have abundant food and water in this city.
These little creatures live in this area. They are calm workers, but Carpenter Ants can destroy your home. Sometimes they are mistaken for Termites, but they are Carpenter Ants, and they can be easy to get rid of. Pest Control Phoenix will control the ants that form in your backyard or deeper inside your home. All you need to do call us for your pest control problem.
These are considered on of the most dangerous Scorpion that live in the United States, and these Scorpions eat crickets. These crickets go to any home for the availability of water and food.

I'm sure there are lots of other people out there who read Babbling Abby or her teaching blog, The Inspired Apple. If not, you should. I have been following Abby for a few years now and she is not only an incredibly creative teacher, but also an awesome mommy. She's shared her story of trying to have her second child and the adoption process that came next. Anyways, I was reading her blog this morning and something really resonated with me so I thought I would share it here. It's a simple realization, but a powerful one that I'm sure most mothers have had.
Over the past few months of becoming a mommy and all the adjustments it has brought, I'm torn between being the best mom and a great teacher. Both come so naturally to me - and I'm thankful for that. But I've realized that being mommy is my number one job right now. Someone commented on Abby's blog that the "teachery" stuff will always be there, but these times with your baby go by so fast. I don't want to look back and remember trying to choose between report cards and other teachery things or playing with my baby on a snow day. Everyone keeps telling me to enjoy this time with N because it goes by so fast so I'm okay if this blog doesn't get updated as frequently (or at all). I'm going to focus on work when I'm at work and leave it there when I come home for the day. Teaching and whatever career step comes next will always be there.
As teachers we have the luxury of holidays, summers, awesome hours, and snow days! Before baby I would have used this time without students to get ahead ... now I find myself taking it one day at a time and using the extra hours to be with N. My perspective and priorities are completely different and I'm okay with it. Accepting this change has taken that burden of "I should be doing something for school" off my shoulders and allowed me to be present with my time at home. It feels good to know that's it okay to just focus on being mommy - my most important job!

I'm Back! And Happy New Year!
Well a lot has changed since my last post. I am now a teacher mommy and learning to balance the demands of being a wife, mother and teacher ... but man it is a lot of work. So sadly my blog has suffered, but I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things. As I wrote back in September, I got a job teaching kindergarten in a new district about 2 weeks before N was born. It was quite an experience interviewing, setting up a new classroom, and teaching for 2 days 9 months pregnant. I've now been back from maternity leave for about 2 months and I am getting used to life as a kindergarten teacher. I also always like to blog around this time because it was in January, 3 years ago that I stumbled upon the world of teacher blogs and they seriously changed my life. I know that sounds dramatic, but its true. I think my blog has been a huge tool in my success as a teacher and so even if I've taken some time from it, I always like to reflect in the new year.
One of the first blogs that I stumbled across were Mrs. Wills and Mrs. Jump's kindergarten blogs. I saw their penguin units and was instantly in love with their ideas. Not only did I recreate their penguin unit (which we are gearing up to do in a few weeks), I also knew I needed to join this blogging world. And I'm so glad I did!
So that's it for now. Just a little update to say that I'm still here and will be back with classroom ideas as we kick off 2014. Happy New Year!

My New Classroom!
It's official...I'm making the move from first grade to kindergarten this year! I feel incredibly lucky to get to work in my new school. There will be adjustments as there are with any new job, but this past week was teacher work week and I think I ended up in the perfect place for me. It's been a whirlwind the past two weeks, from interviewing, getting hired, going through the HR stuff and setting up a new classroom. I was even able to empty our mud room and unpack all the boxes, thanks to some awesome new teacher friends...and yes all of this was done VERY pregnant. It is possible : ) And I'm thankful for keeping busy because otherwise I'd be going crazy sitting around at home waiting for this baby to come.
So at 9 months pregnant I'm feeling pretty accomplished. The first day of school is tomorrow and as I'm writing this I'm still very pregnant with no signs of the little man making his move...looks like this teacher will make it to the first day of school.
|My husband was happy to load these boxes into the car for me!
|Hanging in there at 39 weeks pregnant. Thanks to Mom who helped me in the classroom today!
|A view of my room. It wasn't quite done at this point but you get the idea.
I'm looking forward to a great year with my kindergarten class, but will probably be taking a little blogging break once little man arrives. For now, I've updated my blog for my newest teaching adventure and I can't wait to share the exciting things that will happen in the year ahead. Stay tuned!

Teacher Week '13: Organizing for Instruction
I'm so excited about today and tomorrow's topics for Teacher Week '13 because they are two areas that I feel are crucial for teachers to have under control, especially in the beginning of the year. I know "organizing" isn't everyone's idea of fun...but it just so happens to be mine! My husband thinks I'm crazy but it actually relaxes me to organize things which must be why teaching is the profession for me because there is always more to do.
When it comes to planning instruction it can be overwhelming to think of each task that must be completed. I've spent hours researching and writing lesson plans and just when I think I'm done I realize now I have to go create this activity or organize this station. I admit sometimes my plans are quite lofty and I have to scale them back to reality. But with each year of teaching, I've had more units already planned and ready to use. It definitely helps when you have a few years under your belt and can rely on things you've already spent hours creating. I also find that there is always some new idea I want to try, so then I'm back to the drawing board. That's the fun in teaching anyways!
Last year I came up with a great system to help maximize my time before or after school and during planning. Each year I've been better and better about utilizing my time wisely so when I get home I can focus on family things and not be stressed about cutting out that roll of laminating film. I do better with a plan and realize this system may not work for everyone. I'm also a list person. Our plans were due on Friday last year so I would divide up the planning a little bit everyday so I didn't have to stay late Friday writing plans for the next week. It really helped me focus on each standard and gave me time to create or find things I may need for the next week. Starting on Monday with Grading & Filing, I've divided my major planning tasks into five days. Here's a little printable I made to keep myself on track. As I think of things I need to remember for each task, I'll write them down under the day.
Of course these are just guidelines and there is always more to do, especially those little tasks that pop up during the day and need to be taken care of. However, at least this way of thinking made sure that I didn't wait until Friday to start planning for the next week. It's all about staying ahead of the game. I like to Grade & File on Mondays because then I have all the assessments from the previous week and can use them to guide my instruction and small groups for the current week. And I'm not going to lie...a lot of time I end up grading on the weekends (in my comfy clothes) to get my differentiated groups straight for the week. I didn't designate a day to plan for small group reading and math instruction because I feel this is an ongoing task and I sort of do it daily. Once the kids go home for the day I look back at my small group notes from that day and quickly prepare for the next day. I find it difficult to plan out small groups too far in advance because they are always changing.
Another quick tip when it comes to organizing instruction - and this doesn't sound like it has anything to do with instruction at all but...get the children to straighten up the room throughout the day and at the end. I can't tell you how much time I've wasted cleaning up after children when I could have been planning for instruction. Your time is already limited before school and during school, so why waste precious time after school doing something you can easily pass on to your students. Sounds simple, but makes such a big difference.
Those are my tips for planning instruction. Can't wait to share some behavior management ideas tomorrow!

Teacher Week '13: Let's Talk About Me Monday
I'm linking up with one of my favorite blogs, Blog Hoppin' for their Teacher Week '13. Even though there is still a lot up in the air about where I will be teaching next year, I truly feel it will all work out for the best. So I'm pushing forward and keeping my head in the game by posting this little "Meet the Teacher."
Stay tuned for more Teacher Week '13 updates!

The end of an era...the beginning of something new
As you can see, I have had a hard time writing this post. It's been over a month since I packed up my innercity classroom for the last time and moved my 15 boxes of prized teaching possessions to our rental house about 2 hours away. The boxes are still sitting in a sort of holding pattern in our utility room and sometimes its hard to believe I actually packed up the last 4 years into those boxes. So yes, it has been a bittersweet experience leaving my old classroom behind. In the past weeks of quiet, summer vacation that teachers await all year long, I've done a lot of reflecting and there are a few points I've learned from Room 102 and hope I never forget.
1. A good teacher can make magic happen in any type of setting.
It's no secret that for the past four years I might not have always had the newest equipment or nicest rooms. Sometimes the furniture was mismatched and falling apart, but the minute I got in the classroom every August and started putting my own touch in the room, the space came to life. It doesn't look like much when it is all packed up, but I spent so much time in that room and when it really came down to it, details of the space didn't matter. The time spent on that carpet exploring books or doing a science experiment were far more memorable then the space around us. We just got used to it and moved on. I hope I remember that if you are flexible and keep a positive outlook, it doesn't matter what the four walls around you look like. Teaching can happen anywhere.
2. My colleagues were my saving grace.
Without the support of my team, I would not be the teacher I am today. My greatest accomplishment over the past four years was being named my district's Teacher of the Year. I wish they could name a grade level of the year, because no teacher can succeed on their own. It truly is a team effort and whether I needed to vent (which happened a lot) or celebrate a breakthrough during reading group, my team was always there. Even though our school was working through some issues, I honestly believe I worked with some of the best teachers in this country. Any child would be lucky to have them. We lifted each other up and supported one another in ways that I've never experienced before and for that I will always be grateful.
3. You may not think you are making progress or a difference, but teaching is a magical thing.
I experienced some of my most frustrating days in Room 102. These walls forced me to grow up and learn some tough life lessons. I learned to be patient...really patient. I also learned how to speak up for myself in a professional and productive way. Over the past four years my positive outlook saved me, whether it was in listening to and helping fellow teachers work through a situation or talking with a parent during parent teacher conferences. I loved that just about any teacher in the building felt comfortable stopping by my room in the mornings or after school just to chat about their day. I loved the "high" I felt after an exhausting day of parent teacher conferences. But what I will remember most are the notes, phone calls and conversations with parents thanking me for my work with their child. Sometimes they felt few and far between, but when they did pop up, the passion from my parents was so strong it could bring you to tears. I grew to love these families and even when I thought we had hit a dead end, I was always amazed at the end of they year with the progress my kids made and the outpouring of support from these particular families. Their energy and dedication despite whatever was going on at home, propelled me through the tough days.
The platform of this blog was meant to document and support urban teachers. I may never work in the same setting as I've had for the past four years, but I know without a doubt the lessons I've learned in that city have set me up for a successful career in education. I'm proud to say I worked in an urban setting and had the opportunity to experience the passion of so many wonderfully dedicated teachers. And even with all of the challenges I faced, I already miss it terribly. But stay tuned...a new chapter and purpose for this blog is on the horizon and I can't wait to start the next chapter of my life as a teacher.

What it's all about...
I had one of those moments this afternoon...teachers know what I mean. One of those times where we get a glimpse into the effect we are having on little people and their family's lives everyday. One of my former first graders came back to see me with his mom. They had heard I was leaving at the end of this year and wanted to come by and say thank you. It was this mother's genuine expression of thanks, even a year after I had her son, that reminded during this last week of school of the impact I've had over the past four years. It was refreshing and I hope to have more moments like this in my new school. To all my former students and their families, yes it is true I have been teaching you, but in all honestly you have taught me more about myself and this world in the past four years then you will ever know. Thank you GPMS family!

Scott Disick Shops Engagement Rings for Kourtney Kardashian in Miami: Report
Scott Disick could be ready to get down on one knee before longtime girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian!
The father of two was reportedly spotted in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with a male friend browsing engagement rings at Levinson Jewelers.
"Scott and his friend looked at a whole selection of amazing rings, all diamond, all different cuts, sizes, settings — he certainly is taking his time and wants to make the right purchase," an eyewitness told Radar Online.
Considering reports that couple met with a wedding planner over the summer, we're starting to think Scott will be making an honest woman out of Kourtney very soon.

Mik4 Stars Out Of 5A Solid 4 StarsMarch 25, 2015MikI really love this translation. I am not personally Messianic, but I am simply a Christian looking for a deeper understanding of Jewish terms and culture. I also wanted a bible in chronological order to read straight through for history's sake. I am not educated in the Hebrew language whatsoever, and so I put off getting a Jewish bible for that reason for a while because I thought I'd be getting in over my head, and I don't have a lot of time to devote to memorizing things.
I feel silly now, this bible is easy to navigate and totally accessible to the common modern Christian. The translation is simple and concise,I don't know what to compare it to, but probably not a formal equivalence like NASB, ESV, or NRSV. It's probably more like the NIV or NLT if I had to guess. I like them all really, so this is fine in my opinion.
I cannot five this book 5 stars because the spine is really flimsy for a hardcover. Very thin and brittle. The first one I recieved had a split in it upon arrival, so I was promptly issued a replacement (CBD was very gracious about this). I re-inforced the ends of the spine with packing tape, so it should fare alright for light home use. I see that the price recently dropped a few dollars on this, which honestly is what I think it should be worth, it's rather cheap and creaky. It's not one for frequent church trips, children, or missions ;)
But if you're looking for an introductory bible into Jewish roots this is a good start!

Learning the Hebrew words is my favorite and brings such joy to me. One of my daughters came to visit me, began to read from it and said that it is the best Bible she has ever read. I bought her one and she is loving it. In conversation with one of my other daughters, I happened to mention it and she wanted one... And the gifts go on!
Ask Christianbook
Q: Does this Bible give the Hebrew equivalent in it's words? Like, is the Lord's Prayer for example in Hebrew or the English we are all familiar with?
This Bible is not printed in Hebrew text. It gives original Hebrew names for people, places, and concepts in English transliterations and corrects mistranslations in the New Testament resulting from anti-Jewish theological bias.
The Lord's Prayer reads, "Our Father in heaven! May your Name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come, your will be done on earth as in heaven. Give us the food we need today. Forgive us what we have done wrong, as we too have forgiven those who have wronged us. And do not lead us into hard testing, but keep us safe from the Evil One. For kingship, power and glory are yours forever. Amen"

There should be at least one more of these for regular-season games, then one for playoffs... then perhaps another? We'll see.
Record: 4-2. Overall: 86-53, first place, thirteen (!) games ahead of Toledo (DET).
8/21: Adam Pettyjohn scored win number fourteen with eight more Browning-ish innings (W 14-5, 4.66, 8 IP, 7 H, 3 ER, 0 BB, 7 K, 1 HR) and Louisville defeated Durham (TB), 6-3. Jon Adkins pitched the ninth for save #26. A balanced Bats attack got three runs in the fourth to take a 5-2 lead on RBI hits from C Craig Tatum and sacrifice flies from SS Danny Richar and 3B Luis Bolivar. Ex-Red Calvin Medlock pitched two scoreless innings for the Bulls (3.62, 1 H, 1 BB, 3 K) after the Bats chased starter Wade Davis.
8/22: The Bulls came roaring back to stomp the Bats, 6-2. Bobby Livingston took the L (3-3, 4.98, 5.2 IP, 9 H, 5 ER, 2 BB, 2 K). CF Drew Stubbs wasnt retired all night, as he was 2-for-2 with two runs scored, a walk, a HBP, and steal #2.
8/23: Drew T. Andersons sacrifice fly brought home Stubbs (whod singled, stolen second, and moved to third on a wild pitch) to tie Columbus (WAS) at 6 in the sixth, then a two-run single from Richar the next inning provided the winning margin, 8-6. The Clippers Kory Casto had hit a grand-slam homer off Danny Herrera in the top of the sixth to wipe out a 5-2 Louisville lead; three of those runs charged to Homer Bailey, who finished with a mediocre line (4.77, 5.1 IP, 7 H, 5 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 1 HR). Herrera got the win despite blown save #5 (4-3, 2.04, 1.2 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 2 K). Josh Roenicke took care of the eighth (2.86, 2 H, 2 K) and Adkins the ninth (save #27, 3.66, 1 IP, 1 K). 3B Mike Griffin slammed a three-run homer in the fifth (#3, 2-for-5, .264) and Richar also had three RBIs total. Stubbs ended up with two more hits and two more runs scored as well as an outfield assist.
8/24: Four runs in the seventh again wiped out a Columbus Colum-back and pushed the Bats to victory, 8-5. Again Richars exploits proved crucial, as he socked his eleventh homer, a two-run blast, in that inning. Danny finished 3-for-4 with two doubles and three runs scored to raise his average to .261. Again Stubbs got a pair of hits as well as a RBI, a run scored, and a walk (.348). Matt Maloney was hittable but good enough to win (W 11-4, 4.35, 7 IP, 10 H, 5 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 1 HR) and Justin Lehr got save #1 (2.03).
8/25: Off.
8/26: The Clippers actually manage a win, getting the Bats and Pettyjohn 3-2. Adam pitched well again (L 14-6, 4.63, 7 IP, 7 H, 3 ER, 0 BB, 10 K, 1 HR). 1B Luis Bolivar doubled twice and scored twice (.264).
8/27: The Bats built a big lead over Indianapolis (PIT) then hang on, 7-5. Livingston started well but was hit hard in the fifth and sixth innings (W 4-3, 5.22, 6.2 IP, 11 H, 5 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 2 HR). Adkins got save #28. Bolivar slammed a pair of homers, a three-run bomb in the second and a solo shot in the fourth (#6 and #7). 1B Kevin Barker also hit #18 and RF Rob Mackowiak #5. Richar was 3-for-5 with two stolen bases (.264, 14).
Notes: 8/20 (missed this one last week): RHR Todd Coffey returned from the DL. UT Adam Rosales headed back north. 8/26: RHS Homer Bailey DLed with a right knee strain, necessitating the re-ascension of LHS Ben Jukich from Chattanooga.
Plaudits for manager Rick Sweet and C Ryan Hanigan, as both were named to the International Leagues Postseason All-Star team.
Record: 3-3. Overall: 27-37, last place, 11.5 games behind Carolina (FLA).
8/21: Pedro Viola pitched five shutout innings after serving up a three-run homer in the first (W 3-7, 4.60, 6 IP, 7 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 2 K) and the Lookouts got big lumber from 2B Justin Turner (#8, 3-for-3, 3 RBI, .292), SS Chris Valaika (#10), 3B Michael DeJesus (#2), and RF Danny Dorn (#19) in a 9-3 spanking of Jacksonville.
8/22: Chattanooga fell just one short of erasing a 6-0 deficit, finally succumbing 6-5 after scoring two in the sixth and three in the seventh. C Eddy Rodriguez provided that bunch of runs in the seventh, pounding his third homer (.214, 2-for-5). Dorn was 3-for-4 with two runs scored (.284) and 2B Drew M. Anderson 3-for-5 (.262). Camilo Vazquez started and lost (L 2-3, 5.61, 5 IP, 8 H, 6 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, 2 HR). Scoreless relief from Mike Hrynio (5.96, 1 IP, 1 K), Ramon Geronimo (3.44, 2 IP, 1 H, 1 BB) and Sean Watson (4.83, 1 IP, 2 H, 1 BB, 3 K) helped allow the comeback attempt.
8/23: Ben Jukich picked up his tenth victory (10-4, 3.82, 6 IP, 7 H, 4 ER, 5 BB, 4 K) and Dorn continued a torrid streak with homer #20 (2-for-5, .286) in Chattanoogas 6-4 win. He also recorded an assist at home. C Chris Denove had three hits and two RBI (.255). Joe Valentine pitched two hitless innings for save #3 (3.00).
8/24: One start after throwing 7.2 perfect innings, Travis Wood gave up 12 hits and 10 earned runs in just 3.2 (L 3-9, 7.54, 2 BB, 1 K, 1 HR) in a 10-1 rout. Dorn couldnt be stopped though, collecting three hits and a solo homer, #21. His average climbed to .292.
8/25: Tennessee (CHC) tied a 1-0 game in the bottom of eight and got the winner in the 10th off Lee Tabor (L 1-1, 5.35) to take it, 2-1. Sam Lecure started and pitched six scoreless (3.50, 5 H, 1 BB, 2 K). Valaika had three hits (.303) and Lecure a couple of his own.
8/26: Rained out.
8/27: MAKEUP MADNESS! against the Smokies. In game one, the Lookouts scored a single run in the top of the eighth (extra innings in makeupland) to win it, 5-4. CF Chris Heisey, playing great since his promotion, doubled home Tonys Gutierrez to finish a stellar game (3-for-4, homer #1, .316). Valaika (#11) and 1B-3B Eric Eymann (#7) also homered. Viola started and left after just 1.2 innings (4.74, 2 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB) but the bullpen took over and allowed just one more run, with Valentine (W 1-0, 2.45, 2 IP, 1 H, 2 BB, 2 K) recording the win and Watson (#3, 1 IP, 1 H, 2 K, 4.50) the save.
Game two? Didnt happen due to other. Sorry.
Notes: Dorn was named Southern League Hitter of the Week for the period of August 18-24, batting .519 (14-for-27) with three homers.
Record: 2-5. Overall: 27-37, last place, 18 games behind Dunedin (TOR).
8/21: Dallas Buck was pulled after three innings (2.25, 2 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 2 K) and Clearwater (PHI) went on to pop the Reds, 7-3. The loss went to lefty Joe Krebs (1-2, 4.03, 2 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 3 K). SS Todd Frazier doubled twice and scored twice (.283).
8/22: Sarasota gets an increasingly rare win, beating the Threshers 8-4 with help from temp CF Efrain Contreras three-run homer (off prospect lefty Joe Savery, no less) and three hits apiece from Frazier and LF Carson Kainer (.262). 1B Logan Parker hit #6. Matt Klinker went eight for the win (W 2-2, 6.67, 6 H, 4 ER, 2 BB, 5 K).
8/23: Rained out.
8/24: MAKEUP MADNESS, for reals! Game one: a 7-0 whitewash of Tampa (NYY), as Misael DeJesus ripped through five (W 5-4, 3.64, 5 H, 1 BB, 7 K), CF Dan Perales hit homer #3, and DH Yuber Rodriguez drove in three (2-for-3, .256). Tampa returned the favor, 3-0, in game two. Logan Ondrusek lost (1-6, 3.88, 4.2 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 1 K) and Sarasota recorded just three hits.
8/25: Tampa beats Rehabbin Daryl Thompson, 5-3. Thompson has been less than impressive in this rehab stint, here serving up seven hits and five earned in five innings (6.89). Sarasota got eleven hits but couldnt get em when they needed.
8/26: Clearwater won, 4-1, outhitting the Reds thirteen to four. Rafael Gonzalez (L 5-11, 6.70, 6 IP, 11 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, 1 HR) took the defeat. This game was marked by the debut of 2008 first-rounder Yonder Alonso, who doubled in his first pro at-bat and scored on a Frazier single. Yonder finished 1-for-3 with a walk and run scored.
8/27: Another easy Threshers win, 8-3. Alonso: 0-for-4 with a strikeout. LF Juan Francisco did hit homer #23 and Kainer socked two solo shots- his very first big flies of the year. Buck started and lost (L 0-1, 4.15, 5 IP, 6 H, 4 ER, 1 BB, 3 K). Four straight losses.
Notes: Todd Frazier was the Florida State League Hitter of the week for 8/18-8/24, going 8-for-19 (.421) with a homer, three doubles, five RBI, and six runs scored. 8/27: RHR Tyler Rhoden came up from Dayton; RHR Justin James went to Chattanooga. UT Justin Tordi was placed on the DL with a broken nose, making room for Alonso on the active roster. Juan Francisco was also placed on the temporarily-inactive list. Newly-christened RHP Jerry Gil was also added.
Record: 4-3 . Overall: 36-29, second place, six back of South Bend (ARI).
8/21: Ruben Medina surrendered the tiebreaking run in the bottom of the ninth, enabling West Michigan (DET) to nip Dayton, 6-5. Medina (L 1-1, 3.52, 0.1 IP, 2 H, 1 ER) spent most of the season at Sarasota pitching well, but was demoted a few weeks ago for reasons I dont quite understand. He just turned 22, though, so Low-A isnt a wildly inappropriate level. Anyway, the Dragons got a great game from SS Zach Cozart, who finished 4-for-4 with two RBI (.276), three hits from RF Denis Phipps (.254) and three from 2B Jake Kahauleilo (.276). Starter Luis Montano wasnt particularly great (4.01, 4.1 IP, 8 H, 3 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 2 HR).
8/22: 3B Brandon Waring doubled and homered (#18) and Dayton survived a comeback attempt to beat the Whitecaps, 4-3. Waring had struggled through much of August (.212) after a strong June and July. Jeremy Horst continued his very strong starting experiment, pitching 5.1 innings of one-run ball (W 7-2, 2.53, 6 H, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 HR) and Aguido Gonzalez whiffed five in 2.1 innings to finish for save #5 (2.04).
8/23: Enerio Del Rosario threw six shutout innings to continue his Midwest League dominance following struggles in the FSL (W 4-2, 1.33, 5 H, 2 BB, 5 K) in a 6-0 whitewash. Daniel Guerrero went the final three for the long save (#1, 8.24, 2 H, 3 K). A balanced Dragons attack included Phipps third consecutive multi-hit game (.258, 2-for-5, 2 RBI) and a homer for C Jason Bour (#6).
8/24: SS Neftali Sotos two-run homer (#6, 2-for-4, .321) is all Dayton can muster as they drop a 4-2 decision. Curtis Partch started (L 5-10, 4.82, 5 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 1 K). Derrick Conatser, struggling badly over the last several weeks, threw three scoreless in relief (5.04).
8/25: Lansing (TOR) held up Daytons impending clinching of a MWL wildcard playoff slot by scoring in the eighth off Jeff Jeffords (L 3-5, 3.41, 1.2 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K) and winning it, 3-2. Juan Rafael started and left a 2-2 tie (4.62, 6 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 4 K). Soto, DHing this time, smacked three more hits (.330).
8/26: Montano (W 12-8, 3.96, 6 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K) and the Dragons capitalized on four Lugnuts errors to win, 6-3. Soto: two more hits and two more RBI (.333). Mace Thurman struck out six in three innings for the save (#1, 5.52, 1 H, 1 ER, 2 BB). With this win, the club reduced its playoff-qualifying magic number to three.
8/27: Waring homered twice (#19, #20) and Soto added one (#6) as Dayton staved off a Lansing comeback to hang on, 5-4. Horst fired six innings of two-hit shutout ball (W 8-2, 2.38, 2 BB, 6 K), although the Lugnuts got to Henry Arias for two earned and Medina for two unearned (without a hit in 1.1 innings). Jeffords pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for save #6, though. The magic number became two!
Notes: SS Zach Cozart and 3B Brandon Waring were named to the MWLs post-season All-Star team. With a 12-team league and only one player at each position, thats quite an honor.
INF Neftail Soto cracked the Baseball America Prospect Hot Sheet by going 12-for-28 (.429) for the week with two homers and eight RBI.
Record: 4-4 . Overall 16-11 second half, first place by one game.
8/21: Billings and Casper (COL) completed a suspended game from 8/14, with the Ghosts finishing the flogging of starter Clayton Shunick (L 1-3, 8.21, 4.1 IP, 14 H, 11 R, 10 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 2 HR) in a 14-7 win. 1B Mike Konstanty did hit a pair of homers (#8 and #9, 3 RBI, 3-for-5, .277) and LF Tony Brown added three hits and a solo homer (#11, .279). Casper then completed a sweep, finishing the regularly-scheduled seven-inning contest by outslugging the Mustangs a second time, 12-9. Enrique Garcia started and lost that one (L 3-1, 5.72, 4.2 IP, 13 H, 9 R, 8 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 3 HR). 1B Brett Bartles was 3-for-4 with homer #1 (.262, 3 R). CF Matt Stiffler also socked his first homer and drove in three. RF Byron Wiley was 2-for-2 with two walks to raise his average to .350.
8/22: Billings bounces back from a baaaad stretch to beat Helena, 5-0. Oscar Castro rounds the Mustangs struggling starting pitchers into shape, firing six shutout frames (W 3-2, 4.15, 6 H, 2 BB, 8 K). 3B Jose Gualdron finished 2-for-2 with two runs scored, a triple, a stolen base, a RBI, and a walk (.301). Stiffler was 2-for-4 with RBI and run scored (.220).
8/23: The Brewers got their revenge, beating up the recently-demoted Josh Ravin (L 0-1, 10.29, 4 IP, 6 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 2 HR) and Billings 9-3.
8/24: Lowly Missoula (ARI) then rolled into Dehler Park and routed the Mustangs, 13-3. Drew Bowman has descended quickly after a strong start (L 2-3, 5.48, 4 IP, 8 H, 5 ER, 3 BB, 2 K). Konstanty keeps hitting (2-for-4, 2 R, .283) but the bats are on hiatus again.
8/25: After falling behind 2-0 earlier, the Ponies saddled up and roared back, scoring six runs over four times up between the fifth and the eighth and winning easily, 6-2. Starter Jamie Arneson was wild but not hittable (4.70, 5 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 4 BB, 2 K) while Brandon Rice went a scoreless sixth and seventh for the win (W 2-2, 6.75, 1 H, 1 K). Mike Bohana got through the final two for save #2 (3.86). Stiffler sparked the offense with three hits from the leadoff slot (.254, also steal #2) and CF David Sappelt socked homer #5.
8/26: Billings steals one, scoring two in the bottom of the ninth to win 8-7 on a parade of errors:
Billings Bottom 9th
Pitcher Change: Pedro Rodriguez replaces Bayron Zepeda.
Chris McMurray grounds out, second baseman Rafael Hilario to first baseman Nelson Gomez.
Offensive Substitution: Pinch hitter Jose Gualdron replaces Miguel Rojas.
Jose Gualdron singles on a line drive to center fielder Alberto Diaz.
Matt Stiffler reaches on fielding error by left fielder Bobby Stone. Jose Gualdron scores. Matt Stiffler to 2nd. Missed catch error by shortstop Reynaldo Navarro.
Alex Buchholz singles on a ground ball to shortstop Reynaldo Navarro. Matt Stiffler out at home, shortstop Reynaldo Navarro to catcher Rossmel Perez.
With Cody Puckett batting, Alex Buchholz advances to 2nd on a balk.
With Cody Puckett batting, wild pitch by Pedro Rodriguez, Alex Buchholz to 3rd.
Cody Puckett reaches on throwing error by shortstop Reynaldo Navarro. Alex Buchholz scores
Konstanty hit a three-run homer earlier in the contest (#10), but 2B Alex Buchholz had the most impressive line: 5-for-5, all singles with two runs scored and a RBI. The 2008 sixth-rounder raised his average to .407. Leo Astorga started (2.50, 5 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 3 K) but Jordan Hotchkiss (W 1-3, 4.66, 3 IP, 2 H, 1 K) got the win in relief after Dan Zeffiro was popped for four earned (4.60, 1 IP).
8/27: Three consecutive wins over the Osprey, as Billings rolled up big runs in a 14-4 rout. Three RBIs apiece for Sappelt and SS Miguel Rojas. Starter Castro got another W (4-2, 4.33, 6 IP, 5 H, 4 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 1 HR).
Rookie- Gulf Coast
Record: 3-3.
8/21: Rained out.
8/22: The Reds beat the Pirates, 7-3. SS Mariekson Gregorius, struggling badly with the bat all season long, was 3-for-3 with two RBI (.155) and DH Donald Lutz doubled twice, scored twice, and drove in three. Evan Hildenbrandt got the win with five strong (W 4-2, 2.67, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K).
8/23: Back-to-back wins, as the Reds score in the eleventh to nip the Orioles, 6-5. Jerry Gil started (7.07, 3 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 3 K). Five relievers then each pitched a scoreless inning. Luca Panerati blew a lead, but also got credit for the win (W 1-0, 3.00, 2 IP, 3 H, 2 ER). Rafael Ceballos pitched the bottom of the eleventh for the save. CF Sam Vasquez doubled twice and singled in five trips while throwing out a runner at home plate (.252) and 1B Eli Rimes singled thrice (.229).
8/24: MAKEUP MADNESS! The Red Sox hammered the Reds in game one, 10-2. Vasquez drove in both Reds runs with a single and double (.259). Rafael de la Rosa struck out eight in 4.1 innings of relief (5.93, 3 ER). Game two went a little better- but the bats were helpless in a 2-0 defeat. Tyler Cline allowed one run in two innings (L 0-3, 9.72) with Mauro Pizziconi permitting one in three in relief (0.76). NDFA Greg Dombrowski, a 22-year-old righty out of UK, struck out the side in his inning (2.25 in 4 G).
8/25: The Twins beat the Reds, 7-5, in a game shortened by rain. Lutz homered (#1). Luis Machuca took the loss (1-3, 6.48, 3.2 IP,9 H, 6 ER).
8/26: Off.
8/27: Season finale against the Pirates! The Reds went out strong, triumphing 3-2 in the eleventh on Frank Pfisters game-winning RBI double. LF Theodis Bowe doubled twice and tripled (.200). Again Gil started and this time he whiffed four in two scoreless (6.19). Eight more relievers followed before the game ended, with Pizziconi the final man in for the win (W 3-0, 0.70, 2 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 1 K).
The Reds finished 25-31 and in fourth place, twelve games behind the Pirates. This is not exactly good, but its the first non-last-place finish the clubs had since I began following them in 2004. So they break the chain, at least.
Notes: Jerry Gil was moved to Sarasotas roster at the end of the season.

A win to begin this home-and-home set let the Houston Rockets finally halt the Dallas Mavericks' domination of the series. A victory to close it would further turn the tide and leave these rivals that much closer to having their playoff trends reversed. Houston can further put the Mavericks' postseason streak in jeopardy and continue its climb up the standings by avoiding a sixth straight loss in Dallas on Wednesday night. The Rockets (33-28) had lost nine in a row to their Southwest Division rival before rolling to a 136-103 win Sunday. No victory during the Mavericks' streak, including two this season, was decided by more than 10 points. "We had lost nine straight to them and so it feels good," said Jeremy Lin, who had 21 points and nine assists. "It feels like we got a monkey off our back. We're going to have another tough one at Dallas coming up." Houston has lost five consecutive trips to Dallas since an overtime win Dec. 18, 2009, a game Dirk Nowitzki left in the second qu...

Great grip on the wet and slick inclines when off the bkie. Hold the pegs great and able to reposition with ease. Will buy again.Read All Reviews
Patrick in CA
Love these boots. Newsletter the toe box is narrow and low. . I wear 12.5 EEEE and had to have a ski boot shop in Mammoth widen the toe box with a heat process. Bulletproof construction. Replaceable parts and pieces on the sacrificial parts like buckles. Cannot describe how much more protection these have over my old Tech 3 boots. These take some time to break in, but again-well worth it.Read All Reviews
Brian in AL
Great protection. Great quality. Very comfortable.Read All Reviews
James in AZ
Because the sole is soft it doesn't hold up as well as other Sidi boots. The fit was accurate, fairly light weight. A little stiff out of the box, but loosened up within a few rides.Read All Reviews
JESSE in OR
Good design, thin in the right areas and padded where they need to be. Very comfortable and also use these for my ski socks. - Do a great job in keeping my feet dry/wicking and so far no foot odor. Have a few pair of them.Read All Reviews
Rick in AZ
Had these boots for 3 years yes that sounds like a long time but I don't ride a ton. My issue is that the flex system grommet tore through the plastic holder on the boot. Now the upper shin guard flaps in the wind. As proud of their product as they are they should be proud to back it up. Won't by SIDI ever againRead All Reviews

Four foreigners arrested for allegedly proselytising Christianity in Benghazi will be sent to Tripoli for questioning on Wednesday (February 20th).
The unnamed male suspects from Egypt, South Korea and Sweden, and a woman from South Africa, will "be handed over to the intelligence services", Benghazi security official Hussain Bin Hamid said.
Preaching a religion other than Islam is a crime under Libyan law, he added.

interviewBy Yunus Abdulhamid
Aisha Maina is the Managing Director of Aquarian Consult Ltd, a management consultancy services provider including recruitment and human resources training. At the sidelines of a business clinic organized by the company recently in Abuja, she told Daily Trust that 60 percent of retirees in Nigeria die out of worry as they had no post-retirement business plan and that most budding entrepreneurs fail in their businesses due to lack of knowledge empowerment. Excerpts.
What is it about your empowering business clinic?
The EMPOWER initiative seeks to empower 30, 000 Nigerians by 2014. We started it February last year. So far, we have empowered 8,000 people including children. We have a number of programmes which aim at supporting businesses to grow.
We have empowered childhood safety programme, which is targeted at making children aware of road safety. We realized that almost five or 10 seconds after a child crosses the road, a car passes. So many cases of children being killed for no reasons because of the lack of knowledge. What we do is to go to schools and address the students at their assembly and then we chose 12 children who will call the road safety champions. They then take down the awareness programme to other students.
When people hear about empowerment, they think about money? Is there an addition to that perception?
When you give people money you empower them but again, if people have no knowledge, no matter how much you give them, they will remain where they are. If you give a person N10 million today and if the person doesn't have the (investment) knowledge, he/she will lose it within days, but if you give somebody N100, 000 today, and the person has the right knowledge required, the person can turn that money into N500, 000 or even N1 million.
A lot of people, agencies and organizations, give out money anyway. But come to think about it. Even if they have been giving out money for a long time, the poor are getting poorer. We looked at that and said why don't we give people the kind of empowerment they really need? If somebody asks for money, why not give him the knowledge to turn it around? Empowerment is all about knowledge and networking. It is only when businesses do business with businesses that businesses grow. Only when people work with people do people grow and growth doesn't necessarily mean growing old. Empower is about giving knowledge and taking knowledge.
Our events are not paid for but even when they are paid for, they are highly subsidized, but we are also in business. In as much as we would want to add value to people's life which is out motto, we have running cost. We have also learnt that what you give for free is hardly appreciated. Even when we get sponsor, we would need people to pay for it not because we need the money but because we want them to appreciate the value of what they are taking.
Small businesses are known to be the growth drivers of the economy. That doesn't seem to be happening in Nigeria today. What do you think is the problem?
People. We have many challenges but am just going to narrow it down. We need to think. We hardly really think. It is almost like we are automaton. If we think, first and foremost, whatever it is and believe it enough, we can make it a success. Whoever said climbing a ladder is easy. You are climbing a ladder and you know there must be challenges. But you have to conquer your fears because you know where you are climbing. This is not taking away the challenges of power, cost of doing business and the rest. A lot of time, people do not structure their businesses. Do you have that structure? I would summarize it to the ability to think, properly, believe in yourself, and have the right structure.
You said about 60 percent of pensioners die shortly after their retirement because they didn't prepare for life after retirement. Can you explain that further?
Let's look at the Nigeria situation. Pension has not really worked. And I know when I was growing up, my parents' time, when you have a career, you face it, when you are a civil servant, you face it. It was later on that civil servants were now running businesses along side their job. But a lot of the retirees today were the crop of people who faced their career. The pension scheme didn't work and the kids they probably sponsored their education hoping that they will take care of them at retirement, they are still taking care of them due to unemployment and associated problems. If you look at all these challenges, you find that their health deteriorates quickly and they die because they worry all the time. Even as a young man, if you worry all the time, you fall sick. Now imagine that you have four children, maybe just one of them or two only have jobs which are not really paying. And you don't have a job any more. You don't have any pension and all your savings have been exhausted. What will happen?
Can you throw more light on your Empower Growing Woman initiative?
It is about empowering women with the ages of 25 to 45. Maybe we will go a little bit younger. Ask a girl what she does. She either selling clothes or she does events or hawks around. What occupation is it particularly? You find that these people have potentials; they can be good marketers, not in the sense of selling their bodies. But they have talent to convince people. Again, for whatever reasons best know to them, they say "I want to do it but I don't know o." Empower growing woman is about empowering that woman to know that she has got talent. And she can get a job as a marketer and not sell herself. She can get a job doing what men do. If people are getting money driving, why not do same
You are in the business of recruitment and there is wide spread belief that many graduates of today are not employable. How much of this have you seen?
I have seen it a lot. We have a data base of about five to eight thousand applicants. A lot of people there are not going to get job. We have a screening process. When you actually meet with them you will know that they will not get the job. They lack the soft skill. They have the technical know-how which is what they went to school to learn. Like an accountant knowing how to calculator one plus one being equal to two. But it takes more than technical skills that to be able to get a job. You should be able to know how to write good curriculum vitae. In a way, I don't blame these applicants them because we have challenges in our educational system but I also blame them. You have to find a way to improve yourself and not blame others in everything.
We have seen amazing people, who come to interviews and you ask them, 'did you really prepare or know you were coming for this interview?" They will reply 'yes'. But they look like they are going to parties or going to a friend's house. It is because of these kind of things we see that we came up with the empower CV writing and interviews clinics. I have personally looked at CVs that are three pages and I will be searching for information in the three pages and I can't find it.
We have had three highly subsidized trainings on CV writing and how to behave at interviews. And we didn't have a full class. It was on radio. It was a free class we ran for a week. We had only about three people in one class. We now said maybe they don't value it because it is free; pay a thousand naira. The same thing happened.

Adelaide, Australia — THE Zimbabwe men's fours team are finding the going tough at the on-going World Bowls Championships here in Adelaide.
Roy Garden, Tom Craven, Manuel Silva and Clive Robertson, Zimbabwe's representatives at this event, first beat Brunei in Pool One before they drew against Wales to finish their first day of action on three points.
The Zimbabweans were back in action yesterday where they beat Thailand to climb up to eighth place in the men's fours Pool One ladder.
In fact, after nine rounds of matches in Pool One yesterday, Zimbabwe were lying in eighth place with two wins, two draws and five defeats which earned them six points.
Ireland ended the day yesterday sitting at the top of the men's fours Pool One table with 16 points, two ahead of England while Malaysia were lying in third place with 13 points.
Malaysia were tied on 13 points with Wales and Namibia at the end of the day yesterday.
New Zealand ended the day yesterday sitting in sixth place with 11 points, three ahead of Spain while Zimbabwe were one place behind the European country with six points.
They were followed by China (six points), Israel (four points), Brunei (two points) and Thailand (two points.
Today is the final day of the men's fours competition.
Zimbabwe's Hayden is also playing in the men's singles at the same championships and finished the day yesterday lying second from last with four points after nine rounds of matches in Pool Two which has 12 countries.
Out of the nine matches he has played so far at this tournament, Hayden won only two matches in which he first recorded a 21-13 victory over Oabona Motladilile of Botswana before chalking up his second victory over a player from the United States yesterday.
This means Hayden, like the fours team before him, is no longer in contention for a podium finish in the singles at this tournament.
Meanwhile, hosts Australia yesterday scored their second "full house" of results on Day Four of the 2012 World Championships here in Adelaide.
The Jackaroos won each of their eight Day One matches on Saturday and repeated the performance yesterday at Lockleys and Holdfast Bay Bowling Clubs with an outstanding display of touch, precision and power to dominate the day's programme.
Undefeated singles player Leif Selby got the bowl rolling yesterday morning with a hard fought victory over Robin Chok from Hong Kong China, winning 21-16.
He then backed it up with a solid performance in warm conditions to prevail 21-16 in the afternoon session over Spain's Nicholas Cole.
His male counterparts in the fours of Wayne Ruediger, Brett Wilkie, Mark Casey and Aron Sherriff toiled for over two hours to comprehensively take care of Hong Kong China 34-10 before lunch.
They then proceeded to prove too strong for the second time in the day's play to overpower Brazil 34-8 in another one-sided victory.
In the women's competition, the Australian pairs combination of Kelsey Cottrell and Rebecca Quail continued on their winning way.
They had few concerns throughout their two matches accounting for Canada 19-10 in the morning.
In the afternoon they returned to the Holdfast Bay greens to emphatically defeat Fiji and retain top position on the overall ladder in their group for the discipline.
Natasha Van Eldik, Lynsey Armitage and Karen Murphy had contrasting matches yesterday with a barnstorming victory by 20 shots, 30-10 over Ireland before needing to work hard and eventually prevail over Spain 17-11 to complete a brilliant day for the Jackaroos.
The final day of the first round of sectional play concludes at Lockleys and Holdfast Bay today before the disciplines are reversed.
Australia has won 32 out of a possible 36 matches since the championships began on Saturday.

about reality and the way the world actually is rather than the way it should be.
**Searches for book. Reads plot on Wikipedia.**
"Ultimately this novel paints a vivid picture of abuse"
"a victim of abuse who will likely remain trapped in a world of violence, criminal behavior and misery"
"world of abused becoming abuser."
Umm...what? Abuse? Misery? Violence? In reality, not everything is like that. There are lots of people who never experience stuff like that, and are optimistic and happy. And then there are those who go through bad stuff like that and end up thinking everything is miserable. You can not say that is what would really happen; it's just a story. "Not having a happy ending", while that sometimes happens in real life, it is really just pessimistic and unhopeful. >_>
Back on topic, my favorite book I guess is War of the Worlds. That is sort of sometimes dark and violent, and the main characters go through bad stuff (aliens attack), but in the end Earth's bacteria stop the aliens, the main characters survive and are reunited, and it has a happy hopeful ending.

My two favorite books are The Stolen Child by Keith Donohue and The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides.
Others on the list include The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, Veronica by Nicholas Christopher and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

other books I love.... Jane Eyre, a scarlet letter, I love reading shakespeare's plays. I love reading the older Stephan King books (His newer books are rushed and lack quality) and ummm Wuthering heights, the infernal devices is an amazing book series, also the immortal instruments! (they better not ruin the movie) The hunger games books are really good, (still dont get the harry potter and twilight merge everyone said it was...they weren't romance based nor are they really anything close to harry potter) and the Divergent/ insurgent books... too many to count! I love reading I even read the original literatures on some of the Disney movies! ( I love my kobo)
Posted 12 August 2013 - 10:21 PM ( #12 )
My favorite book(s) are the Chronicles of Narnia collection, specifically The Horse and His Boy.
I just think they're really well written and I like the themes that the book explores.
Posted 05 September 2013 - 08:55 AM ( #13 )
Definitely The Fault in Our Stars...
Maybe Thirteen Reasons Why, too.
Or maybe the Fallen series.
I don't know. Too many to choose.
Posted 04 January 2014 - 11:51 AM ( #16 )
My favorite of all time is probably The Great Gatsby.
I really enjoyed all of Ellen Hopkins' books, The Catching Fire trilogy, Looking for Alaska, and The Fault in Our Stars, though.

"Mists of Avalon" by Marion Zimmer Bradley.
It is a 1983 novel by Marion Zimmer Bradley, in which she relates the Arthurian legends from the perspective of the female characters. The book follows the trajectory of Morgaine (often called Morgan le Fay in other works), a priestess fighting to save her matriarchal Celtic culture in a country where patriarchal Christianity threatens to destroy the pagan way of life. In stark contrast to most other retellings of the Arthurian tales, which consistently cast Morgan le Fay as a distant, one-dimensional evil sorceress, with little or no explanation given for her antagonism to the Round Table, Morgaine is presented as a woman with unique gifts and responsibilities at a time of enormous political and spiritual upheaval who is called upon to defend her indigenous matriarchal heritage against impossible odds.
There was also a TV miniseries made:

It's not often The Horse and His Boy is chosen as a fave, it's very different to the rest.
Still a great read though, but my fave out of the series lies with The Magicians Nephew, I thought it was hugely entertaining.

"Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause." --Isaiah 1:17
Why a graduate program in Applied Social Justice?
Persons of faith and others who wish to help the "least of these" are generally familiar with charity models of helping in which immediate needs such as food and clothing are met through charitable donations. Around the time of the holidays our churches and schools are especially busy collecting food baskets, boxes of school supplies, and winter coats, and serving meals for the homeless; community organizations are collecting toys for tots; and bell ringers from the Salvation Army are collecting cash donations outside supermarkets and malls.
All these efforts are laudable, helpful, and even life-saving when the short term need is acute. However, scholars of social justice point out that exclusive reliance on charity can engrain patterns of dependency in recipients and reinforce social structures that systematically advantage some people and disadvantage others, that can actually make problems more likely to persist indefinitely.
What is needed in addition to charity are longer term approaches that empower people to help themselves and that address root causes of poverty by changing the ways communities and society work, such as increasing access to a good education, job training, and adequate health care; providing access to start-up funding and coaching for would-be entrepreneurs; revitalizing local agriculture and local economies; providing innovative ways to make possible safe and affordable housing, land ownership, and access to reliable transportation.
Social Entrepreneurship (SE) and Christian Community Development (CCD) represent two related, emerging fields that embody this philosophy of social justice and seek to help people by effecting long-term social change and empowering them to help themselves.
- Applied Social Justice/Christian Community Development Track
In collaboration with the Christian Community Development Association, the CCD track will seek to "inspire, train, and connect Christians who seek to bear witness to the Kingdom of God by reclaiming and restoring under-resourced communities." The Masters of Arts in Applied Social Justice/CCD Track will prepare graduates to assume leadership and support roles in faith-based and other nonprofit organizations projects designed to solve problems of social injustice by applying the eight components of Christian Community Development. These components include Relocation (living among the people), Reconciliation, Just Distribution of Resources, Leadership Development, Listening to the Community, Church-based, Holistic Approach, and Empowerment.
- Applied Social Justice/Social Entrepreneurship Track
According to the Ashoka Foundation, "Social entrepreneurs are individuals with innovative solutions to society's most pressing social problems. They are ambitious and persistent, tackling major social issues and offering new ideas for wide-scale change. Rather than leaving societal needs to the government or business sectors, social entrepreneurs find what is not working and solve the problem by changing the system, spreading the solution, and persuading entire societies to take new leaps." The Masters of Arts in Applied Social Justice/SE Track will prepare graduates with interests in missions and business to apply principles of social change and sound business practices to start and build innovative organizations (nonprofit & for-profit) designed to solve problems of social injustice by addressing root causes in ways that can be sustained and replicated in other places.

In The Sitter, Jonah Hill stars as a college student on a suspension who is talked into watching his neighbor's children. The problem is that the kids are monsters (not literally) and he'd much rather be having sex with his girlfriend. So, he takes the little sh*ts to a party in Manhattan where he can knock boots and the kids can get exposed to psychopathic drug dealers and urban music. Do you know what happens next? Hijinks, you guys.
Though he does sound like a pretty irresponsible care-giver, he's not nearly as bad as the so-called authority figures on this list.
The problem here is that he's a total lout. He swears, drinks, smokes cigars, drives a death trap, and punches clowns in the face. Though he's rough around the edges, Uncle Buck's Buck Russell really does love his nieces and nephew. Having trouble with a teacher at school? He'll tell her off so harshly it shatters her world. Need to eat a giant pancake? He's your man. Got some notorious cherry popper trying to get into your pants? He'll kidnap him and then give him brain damage by beaning him with golf balls. The dude deserved it for wearing that lame beret.
There are probably better candidates for running the household in your absence than a crazed wannabe Marine. Chet Donnelly isn't just gung-ho and stupid. He's equally as sadistic. And this is a pretty gung-ho and stupid guy we're talking about here. When left in charge, he bullies his younger brother, extorts money from him, and even holds a firearm to his head. Dude definitely deserved a set of elephant balls.
You can't accuse Mrs. Baylock of not caring about the boy she nannies for. If anything, she's a little too into her job. A devout Satanist, Baylock is the perfect choice to watch over Damien, the son of Satan. These two get along like gangbusters. However, she loses points for killing Damien's mom and attempting to kill his father. In a field like that, good references are key, so don't kill your employers.

I've decided to fight through the cotton/wool yarn I described earlier. The problems I encountered were that the ribs were very loose, and the leg was very tight. I've decided on a small needle for the rib, and a larger one for the rest of the sock. Wish me luck, men!
In the mean time, while pondering my next move with the yarn from hell, I set out to practice entrelac, since I never was able to master it before. Well, I found a pattern at my LYS, set to work, and finally was able to get it! I actually got it!
Now, if i could just figure out how to use it in something more than a small handbag!
I've been playing with a new 65%/30%/5% Cotton, Wool, nylon yarn for socks, and have been having a heck of a time with it. This is my first attempt to knit with cotton, and i've got a feeling I'm going to have to adjust something, somewhere. Any advice for working with cotton?
I work with dpns for socks, but hope to learn to use circs soon, even two at a time on circs!
Good evening, men. I've been knitting for some time, but have just recently discovered the joys of knitting socks!
Of course, I expect to be motivated to push myself into other areas of knitting once I hear and see what you all are doing!
When's the next chat, by the way?

It should be noted that swim diapers are not usually used as a substitue for regular cloth diapers as they are not made or intended to absorb urine. Their sole purpose is to create a barrier that prevents solids from being released into the pool water. Cloth swim diapers also do not require a cover.
The Mother-ease swim diaper is made from a soft, stretchy, bathing suit material. They are lightweight and comfortable. As they do not absorb water they will remain comfortable when wet and will not become droopy. They come with adjustable plastic side snaps, allowing for a customized fit and easy clean up. Soft elastic at the waist and legs give total comfort and an inner elasticized net catches poop and holds it in place until parents can get somewhere for a quick change.
Mother-ease Swim Diapers are available in 3 sizes, small (10-18 lbs.), medium (18-30 lbs.), and large (30-40 lbs.). They come in white, red, blue and a bold print called Brazilian Rhythm.
Bummis Swim diapers come in fun, updated cotton prints and feature a trim, attractive design that adjusts to fit baby's of all sizes. An interior polyester mesh fabric allows for easy clean-ups and plenty of "breathing room". The waterproof design is due to an inner layer of coated nylon sandwiched between two outer layers. Stretchy and soft lycra bindings protect your infant from rough elastics.
Bummis Swim Diapers are available in 3 sizes, small (7-13 lbs.), medium (13-20 lbs.), and large (20-28 lbs.). They come in a variety of fun and bold prints including Bubbles, Clown Fish, Fishies, Pizzazz, and Turtles.
Imse Vimse Swim Diapers are available in 5 sizes, newborn (7-13 lbs.), small (13-17 lbs.), medium (15-22 lbs.), large (20-26 lbs.), and extra large (24-30.5 lbs.). They come in a large variety of fun and bold prints.
That being said, there are a number of steps you can take as a parent to try and minimize the risk. If your child is ill with diarrhea, you should not allow them to swim in a pool, even if they are protected with a swim diaper. You should also plan on regular and frequent (about every 30 - 60 minute) diaper changes or trips to the toilet.
Little scientific information exists on how well swim diapers and swim pants are able to keep feces or infection-causing germs from leaking into the pool. It is unlikely that swim diapers are able to keep diarrheal stools, the most serious water contaminant, from leaking into the pool. No manufacturers claim these products prevent leakage of diarrhea into pools.

Hey all,
So I have a webserver that is running Ubuntu. I setup a subdomain for the first time a couple months ago and I realized that I had (or had created a permission issue) but I haven't had time to deal with it. You can go to my website http://shayConcepts.com just fine. I created a folder for that subdomain and when going to it, I got a permission denied. I later realized that any new folder I make (even in the public_html folder) it has a permission denied.
I changed dir permissions, even temporarily trying 777 but it wouldn't work.
I also changed the chown and that didn't seem to work.
I did this so long ago and I followed different solutions online but couldn't solve this and I don't remember everything that I tried.
I will start over with every/any possible solution if someone will post what I should try in the right order and hopefully step through this problem with me! Please
Thank you so much!!
EDIT: I also messed around with the conf file when adding the subdomain
Heres what I get for example
You don't have permission to access /files/neowinhelp/ on this server.Apache/2.4.6 (Ubuntu) Server at shayconcepts.com Port 80

Michelle Williams "Redface" Photo Offends Native American Groups
Michelle Williams probably wishes life were as simple as it is on the yellow brick road.
The Oz the Great and Powerful star has had a bumpy past few months, and now a photo she posed for during a shoot for AnOther Magazine has come under fire for offending Native Americans, according to EW.
In one photo for the magazine's shoot, Michelle has long braids and feathers in her hair, clearly meant to look like a Native American.
On March 12, Jezebel posted an article by writer Ruth Hopkins — who is a Native American — which refers to the photo as using "redface."
Ruth is asking for an apology and for the issues to be pulled.
The Native American Journalists Association also chimed in, saying, "It perpetuates the stereotype that all Native people look like this."
For their part, AnOther Magazine says they did not intend to "mimic, trivialize, or stereotype any particular ethnic group or culture," and that the photo was one of "a series of eight different imaginary characters."
Michelle recently split with Jason Segel after dating for about a year.
