Regional Reviews: Phoenix
The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess
Also see Gil's reviews of The Full Monty, My Fair Lady in Concert, The Miracle Worker and Young Frankenstein
Depicting a group of poor Southern African Americans, Porgy and Bess is set in Charleston, South Carolina's fictitious Catfish Row in the late 1930s. Former prostitute and cocaine addict Bess, eager to be free from her former life but shunned by her fellow inhabitants, finds acceptance from the crippled beggar Porgy who comes to her rescue after the aftermath of a murder finds her homeless. But Bess' former lover Crown and the seductive drug dealer Sporting Life, combined with Bess' troubled past and addictions, threaten to derail her new life and blossoming romance with Porgy.
The score includes the instantly recognizable songs "Summertime," "It Ain't Necessarily So," and "I Got Plenty of Nothing." Gershwin's music, with an abundance of rich musical underscoring throughout, in addition to the well-known songs, is marvelous, especially when played by this tour's 23-piece orchestra. This revised production, while shortened due to the cuts in the score, still provides rich archetypal characters that are easily recognizable and results in a deeply emotional intimate story of the intense romance between the downtrodden Porgy and Bess.
Part tragedy, part "slice-of-life" drama, Porgy and Bess features distinct characters, and this cast all manage to instill an appropriate feeling of loneliness as well as an abundance of joy and longing to their parts. Alicia Hall Moran as Bess and Nathaniel Stampley as Porgy both bring a deep level of truth and genuineness to their portrayals. Stampley achieves a nice amount of intensity in how Porgy continually tries to protect Bess, and his rich and pure voice sends his songs soaring. Moran's voice has a deep feeling of earthiness that grounds it in a heightened sense of reality that works well to naturally portray Bess's conflict between her old ways and her newfound desire to be "decent." The intense duet "I Loves You, Porgy" has a perfect amount of desperation underneath it and is emotionally satisfying.
Alvin Crawford as Crown, Bess' former abusive lover, is strong and forceful with a powerful voice, and Kingsley Leggs does a nice job in making Sporting Life, the drug dealer, the continual temptation to Bess, with his constant offering of free "happy dust" to her. However, Leggs' solo, "It Ain't Necessarily So," doesn't quite achieve the level of satisfaction it should.
In the supporting cast, Danielle Lee Greaves is superb as Mariah, the motherly figure of the group, who, like Porgy, is protective of Bess, especially around Sporting Life, and brings a nice amount of feistiness to "I Hates Your Strutting Style," her song that puts Sporting Life in his place. Denisha Ballew's Serena, who finds herself a widow early in the show, has a soaring voice that brings a huge amount of emotion to her two gospel led songs "My Man's Gone Now" and "Oh, Doctor Jesus." As Clara and Jake, the young couple with a new baby, Sumayya Ali and David Hughey bring a nice sense of realism to the struggles their characters face. Together they start the show off with a rich duet of "Summertime" and Hughey leads the male ensemble in two rousing numbers, "A Woman Is a Sometime Thing," and "It Takes a Long Pull."
Director Diane Paulus has managed to make the abridged, revised version of this classic tale fairly successful, though there is a certain amount of melodrama still present, as well as some of the characters' motivations, especially in a couple of Bess' scenes, is lacking and therefore make a few of the plot points a little confusing. However, the addition of the rousing choreography from Ronald K. Brown that grows organically out of the scenes and musical numbers is a highlight. The creative elements for this production, while professional, are somewhat minimal. Using a series of wooden planks for his stage and just three drops to portray various locales, set designer Riccardo Hernandez uses brown hues and barren walls to portray the low income settings and the heat of the summer time frame of the story. Costume designer ESosa fairs better, with a series of period and character perfect costumes. I especially like Bess' sexy red dress and high heels that we first see her wearing that are then replaced by a simple dress and bare feet to show her attempt to lead a more decent life. Christopher Akerlind's lighting design is effective in delineating the various scenes and settings of the play, and his use of shadows in a few scenes to heighten the emotions of the moment, is quite impressive.
While this updated version makes it somewhat more accessible and the dialogue adds a bit more clarification to some parts, Porgy and Bess is still at its core an opera. So if you're afraid of large choral numbers sung by the entire ensemble with lyrics that aren't that easily understandable, or the heightened emotions that most operas entail, with a somewhat lack of the clarity behind some of the actions of the characters, you'd best be advised to steer clear of Gammage this week. But, if you are prepared to experience soaring melodies and the full, rich lushness that a large orchestra can deliver, and performers who are conveying rich portrayals of these classic archetypes, I'd highly recommended attending the national tour of The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess.
The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess runs through June 8th, 2014, at ASU Gammage located at 1200 S. Forest Avenue in Tempe. Tickets can be purchased at http://www.asugammage.com/ or by calling 480 965-3434. Additional tour dates can be found at porgyandbessthemusical.com.

A Christmas tree has fetched $21,000 at an auction of the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia's annual Festival of Trees.
"There's never been that kind of money on one tree. In fact when we looked back on what the trees went for this year, the next highest tree was $1,200," said Starr Dobson, the president and CEO of the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia.
"When I first heard it, I was like, 'You mean $2,100?' They said, 'No, $21,000.' I was completely blown away."
This special tree was in honour of Heather Otto, a Halifax-area woman who volunteered at the Festival of Trees for 18 years. She died of cancer in February.
"Heather was an extremely caring, passionate, nurturing person," said Phil Otto, her husband. He and their 11-year-old daughter Kristin selected the tree and even started the bidding.
"Kristin chose this tree as the one she wanted for home and was bidding throughout the lunch hour and stopped at $125," he said. "When I asked her later why, she said that was the amount of money she had at home in her sock drawer."
But the bid for the tree kept rising.
The bidding for the tree came down to two parties and quickly got up to $11,000. That's when the two parties put their bids together and bought the tree for $21,000. They then handed it over to Kristin Otto.
The two parties know the family, but did not want their names made public.
Dobson said the money will be used to support mental health needs across the province.
Otto said he's grateful to the two parties and their significant contribution.
"That $21,000 would not have come in otherwise. That's coming in Heather's memory and is going to impact a lot of people over the next year," he said.
The entire auction took in about $230,000 for the foundation.

One of the biggest challenges businesses face with QR codes is finding new and innovative ways to use them. Most of us have scanned a QR code only to be disappointed when the code loads an uninspiring mobile website or, worse yet, a desktop website that hasn't been optimized for mobile. (Want to learn how to optimize your site for mobile? Check out How to Build a Mobile Website.)
The secret, of course, is to find a way to reward the person scanning the code with an experience that is both fun and engaging. That's what eMart accomplished when they created a QR code that worked as a sundial.
The Secret to Their Success. What makes this particularly fascinating is that eMart developed the QR code campaign specifically to combat low sales that happened during the 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm lunchtime period. They accomplished this by creating a "Sundial" QR code that only worked during the lunch hour period.
For more information about the campaign, check out the 2-minute video below. Here are some of the key facts you'll learn:
- Lunchtime sales increase 25% while the campaign ran
- 12,000 coupons were distributed as a result of the campaign
- New eMart members grew by 58% during the promotion
- The campaign generated incremental free media for eMart on TV, radio and in print
Check out the video below for more details about the campaign (or click here to view it on YouTube). This is one of the better uses of QR codes that I've seen in a long, long time.

I set some very doable goals for 2012, and I'm finding it immensely helpful to go over my progress each week. I hope that as I learn to be more productive, I can share some tips with you along the way.
January was a very interesting month, because I've always set goals and worked to achieve them, but I'm learning more about what really works for me. I bought the Kindle edition of Eat That Frog!: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time when it was just $0.99 a few weeks ago, and I'm finding it immensely helpful in keeping me focused and on track. The two biggest keys I picked up and have tried to keep at the forefront of my mind in the last month are having a clear vision of my final goal, and doing the tasks with the greatest impact first.
One of my resolutions this year is to develop a new healthy habit each month. In January, I achieved my goal of adding a mile to every day to develop the healthy habit of exercise. I learned that it doesn't take a lot of time (less than 20 minutes!), and I can make the time if it's a priority. I don't feel like it's an ingrained habit, though, so I'm continuing it into this month.
But I'm also adding a new healthy habit in February, which is a mere 10 minutes of stretching each day. It's good for my foot, as I'm still struggling with plantar fasciitis (it's been over a year and a half and my doctor, who's had it himself, wasn't surprised). I'm also feeling tension in my shoulders and back, so stretching should make me feel better overall.
Another resolution in 2012 is to do one project per week. My weekly projects are going well – last week, I sorted and organized a couple of small areas that I hadn't gone through in a while. My project for this week is to clean my stove, since it really needs it. But I've also done and will do a few other smaller projects around the house as well.
Finally, it's not exactly a resolution, but I implemented a new housecleaning plan this year by doing one cleaning task each day. It's a habit I'm still developing, and I get my daily task done most days. I'm quite satisfied with how things are going in that area.
I'm looking forward to achieving more in February, but I think I need a much clearer picture of exactly where I want to be at the end of year, so I can get the most out of the months to come.

Safety rules with forklift training
Forklift training is very important. A lot of people don't know the safety rules and can require safety training. For many who have no safety training, here is a primer.
1. The principles aren't only restricted to certain places. Any establishment which has forklifts functioning is needed to follow forklift rules of safety (including the non-operators).
Forklift rules of safety and regulations are meant to maintain the operator and bystander's protected from harm. Playing around rather than pursuing the safety rules provide fired from your job, particularly if the infractions are serious enough.
Forklift safety training will include the following forklift safety rules:
You need to always drive at a safe speed.
Don't experiment on a forklift. Safety training is to avoid accidents, not cause them.
Use the seatbelt each and every time you obtain using one of those lifts. Safety training is supposed to help you stay safe also.
Don't use a forklift unconditionally other than what they're intended for (lifting and moving heavy objects. Forklift training shows you the way to judge the weight and sized a physical object to aid avoid the turnover of the forklift. However occasionally a turnover mishap can happen, a safety cage to get a forklift can help further reduce risk of harm should a turnover mishap occur.
Most jobs that need operating a forklift will supply a Forklift training Crawley class to ensure the operators are confident enough to function a forklift (with or without a security cage for your forklift) the operator will also know the principles.
Some jobs may well not provide a forklift training class, usually since they only hire pre-certified operators which have already were built with a forklift safety training class. These operators happen to be capable of manage a forklift before employment.
Taking a forklift safety training class and achieving certified to operate a forklift is a good approach to open a few more doors when searching for employment.
Work with a safety cage for any forklift to ensure you are safe. No matter what the forklift has been used for, creating a safety cage for any forklift is a good method to keep your operator protected from harm and injuries. Forklifts may become top heavy and flip over easily if not driven correctly or if the load is too heavy for the lift.
A safety cage for any forklift also can protect the motive force from falling debris. When the forklift has been operated outdoors, an outside safety cage for a forklift can safeguard against tree limbs which are protruding or any other objects that may hit the operator.
Following forklift safety rules doesn't make you look silly in anyway (actually it can make you peer very smart!). They are there to protect you and also other folks around the lift from harm.
Having Forklift training Surrey will make you a safer lift driver and can enhance your probability of a prosperous job search if you are looking for work. If you've been terminated from another job due to poor operation or otherwise not following rules of safety; remember certain areas may not hire you.
You should always be following all the forklift surrey safety rules and regulations when driving and operating a forklift!

Alexander Morrison Atwater's latest series of photographs captures Tokyo's rockabilly scene, a subculture that features a highly distinctive blend between Western rock 'n' roll and Japanese aesthetics to create a subculture all on its own. His latest work is being exhibited in a show called 'End Frames' at London's Gallery 54.
Check out the gallery for iconic photographs of dedicated pompadour-rocking Japanese jiving it up in the streets of Tokyo.
Implications - Before you do that, though, consider this: the main reason this strange subculture is so fascinating is that it combines one of the most stereotypically cowboy American subgenres of rockabilly and blends it with the historic and often spiritual aura of Japanese culture. The combination of the two is a match made in globalization thesis heaven.

Foreward: The concept of family is an interesting element in Pokemon. Some characters are chosen not to have an entire family written out in their backgrounds (Drew, Misty, Ash). In contrast, other characters are given a fully fleshed-out familial background (Brock, May, Max). It's very likely that absence of a full family have been implemented by the writers for the sake of convenience. Perhaps if one were to eliminate the notion that the writers have been omitting facts for the sake of convenience, the lack of specifics regarding Ash's father, Drew's parents, or Misty's parents would become slightly more alarming. "Give a Name, Walk Away" explores this visible void, attributing this lack of specifics to familial dysfunction. The title itself is taken from the lyrics of the Everclear song, "Father of Mine."
Give a Name, Walk Away
Chapter One (In this post you are reading)
Chapter Two
Chapter One
Consciousness slowly came to her. The feel of the bed sheets on her skin, the irritation of her scalp by her crunched short hair against her pillow, and the position of her arms splayed to the left of her body; one-by-one, the awareness of her surroundings became greater and greater as she gradually emerged out of REM. The moment her will was returned to her, she immediately tried to revoke it by her own same volition. She kept her eyes closed, hopeful she would return back to sleep.
Her splayed arms were within range of the person she was sharing the bed with. She moved her body forward whilst closing her eyes in order to secure her arms around him. However, when her hands reached the other side of the bed, she stopped and opened her eyes.
She realized he wasn't there.
Misty turned her head against her pillow, looking at the alarm clock on top of the small drawer next to one of the corners of her king sized bed. It was 3:48 AM. She looked forward and lifted her head to see if the hallway lights were on or any other indicators that he was still inside the house. Upon observing no immediate evidence that her boyfriend was anyway near, Misty threw the bed sheets off her body. She swung her legs around, secured her feet on the ground, and lifted herself up in a sitting position.
"Ash?" she called out into the hallway while scratching an itch on her bare sternum.
There was no response. Why wouldn't he be in the house?
"Ash?" she tried again.
Again, no response.
Misty slowly lifted herself up into an upright position, her body impeded by bed time fatigue. She stumbled towards the light switch in the bedroom with the little consciousness she had and turned it on. She then walked into the hallway, down until she got to the living room, disappointed to find no one upon hitting the light switch.
Pangs of anxiety. Reality had deviated itself from the usual. It was inexplicable. Why wouldn't he be in the house at this hour? Did he go out for a walk?
Misty returned to her bedroom. After entering, she had noticed one of the dressers had all its drawers half open with various articles of clothing dangling out. With further investigation, Misty would see that some of Ash's clothes were gone.
Misty returned to sit down on her bed. She squeezed her hands between her bare thighs and stared down onto the ground, head in a cocked position. The numerous variables that had been defined in her mind helped narrow down the reasons. Still, it was inexplicable. Why would Ash suddenly leave the house early in the morning?
Misty was still in nothing but her bra and panties; though she was getting cold just sitting there on her bed doing nothing, she had zoned out whilst trying to think where Ash had gone.
Consciousness came abruptly to her. Her fragile concentration in hibernation had been interrupted by the violent sounds of her cellular telephone. Wanting to stop the undesirable noise, the girl reached over the side of the bed and felt for the source of the culprit sound, knocking several objects down, including her alarm clock and a plastic water glass. The girl removed several strands of shampoo-tasting brown hair out of her mouth and brought the telephone to her face.
"Hello…" May meekly whispered into the receiver. She paused to listen.
After several moments, May responded into her cell phone:
"No, I haven't seen him since we came back from Goldenrod."
Another pause.
"No, he hasn't called."
"No, I'm sure you're just overreacting. I'm sure Ash got a call from his agent or the Pokemon Lea…"
"Misty, I'm sure Ash is… No, no, just, just, please calm down… You need to get some sleep, Misty. Please… Okay… Okay… Bye."
May pressed the "End" button on her cell phone. She laid it down back to its original position. Worried that she might have awakened Drew, she turned around, wanting to check if he was still asleep or not.
To May's dismay, Drew was not in bed. May, connecting the current parallel to Misty's situation, removed the bed sheets off of her and put on her bathrobe. She opened the door out of her bedroom to the living room to be temporarily and thankfully blinded by the thinly yellow-tinted light emitting from the kitchen's light fixtures. The apartment smelling of bacon and scrambled eggs encouraged her even more.
"Drew?" she called out.
"I'm right here in the kitchen."
May walked into the small kitchenette of hers to find Drew making an extremely early breakfast for himself. Drew, while mixing a batter of uncooked pancakes, looked behind him to find his girlfriend, looking disheveled and groggy having just gotten out of bed. He placed the batter down on the counter and walked towards her to give her a light embrace and a quick peck on the forehead.
"You're up awfully early," he pointed out.
May gave a biting glance at Drew, wanting to point out the hypocrisy in his statement. She decided to resist the allure as of that moment.
"Breakfast for one and not two, Drew?"
"Guilty as charged," Drew admitted as he continued stirring his batter for one, "Was I that noisy?"
May cut right to the chase.
"Why are you up so early, Drew?"
"I... Couldn't sleep."
"Drew? How come?"
"No reason in particular," he answered while staring straight into his scrambled eggs.
Again, Drew was being enigmatic. He had been like this for five days May observed.
"Drew, we've been over this before," May exasperated, "It just frustrates me that…"
"May, we're not bringing this up again. Just… Not now."
"Andrew! You said that two days ago! How many times are we going to do this?"
Drew exhaled in frustration. May ran her fingers through her crinkled brown hair while violently scratching her scalp. Drew continued to cook his early breakfast while May just stood there with her arms crossed. After a minute or so, May broke the ambient sound of the sizzling eggs and bacon with her spoken thoughts.
"This is about your father, isn't it?"
Drew pretended that he didn't hear that and tasted his finished scrambled eggs.
May stared at Drew, still in her position of observation with her folded arms across her chest. She closed her eyes and sighed, perhaps contemplating a bit more. It wasn't until Drew began to reduce the heat on the kitchen stove when May approached her boyfriend and gave a soft cold kiss on his cheek.
"I'm going back to sleep, Andrew," she said softly, "Enjoy your breakfast."
Drew stared after May as she walked down the hallway to the bedroom. She would stop a few paces before the bedroom corridor to say something aside from the previous subject.
"You're probably wondering why I woke up this early," she projected down the hallway, "Misty called. For some odd reason, Ash left during the middle of the night."
With that, Drew heard the squeak and the click of the bedroom door closing as he finished gathering his cooked breakfast on a casual glass plate. Before eating, Drew opted to head to the pantry first and pulled out a bottle of wine. He poured the contents into a simple water glass, ignoring the fancy stemware May had stored just above the stove. Drew ate his breakfast while swigging heavy amounts of the crimson red drink; he was only a quarter done with his plate before he poured himself another serving.

Star-Struck Bankers Return to Hollywood to Finance Movies – Bloomberg
When Jay Cohen sought funding for a
new independent film company, Wing and a Prayer Pictures, he had
bankers falling over themselves to finance it.
"We had seven banks call and offer us lines of credit,"
says Cohen, head of film financing and distribution at Gersh
Agency in Beverly Hills, California, and an executive producer
of the 1994 comedy "Swimming With Sharks." "They had never
met anyone involved in the company," he says.
From big banks like JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) to billionaires
like John Paulson, investors are putting their money into movies
again after pulling back during the financial crisis, Bloomberg
Businessweek reports in its June 23 edition. Filmmakers are able
to borrow at the lowest rates since 2008, bankers say.
"There is a lot more activity than I have seen in a long
time," says David Shaheen, head of JPMorgan's entertainment
industries group in Los Angeles. "There is increased comfort in
the future of the business relative to a few years ago."
The success of Netflix Inc. and other streaming services
has generated demand for content and brought in new revenue,
which in turn has helped offset falling DVD sales that hit
studio profits. Expanding international audiences, especially in
China, are also reassuring investors, says Lindsay Conner, co-chair of the entertainment and media practice at law firm
Manatt, Phelps & Phillips.
More Lenders
The number of banks serving Hollywood shrank during the
financial crisis, to eight from 30, Shaheen says. Now about 20
banks are financing movie and TV projects. JPMorgan, which has
been working with the studios since the 1920s, Comerica Inc. and
Union Bank NA have been joined by East West Bancorp Inc. and
OneWest Bank FSB, which is co-owned by George Soros, Paulson and
Steven Mnuchin, the bank's chairman. Loan prices are down to
where they were before the financial crisis, said Jeff Colvin,
senior vice president and group manager at Comerica in Los
The cost of a bank loan to fund production today carries an
interest rate of about 3 percentage points above lending
benchmarks, plus additional fees that vary widely among the
banks and investment funds. Interest rates hovered around 4
percentage points over benchmark rates during the crisis,
bankers say.
Film financing is attractive to banks because it requires
some specialization, such as knowledge of production and
distribution, that commands higher fees, says Joseph Woolf, head
of media and entertainment at OneWest in Los Angeles. Now the
rush to invest in movie projects is driving down returns for
financial backers.
Cannes Deal
During the Cannes Film Festival in May, JPMorgan, OneWest
and SunTrust Banks Inc. said they would lend $450 million to
EuropaCorp, the European studio founded by Luc Besson, director
of "The Fifth Element," in the largest-ever financing for a
non-U.S. film company. Gersh's Cohen says Wing and a Prayer
Pictures attracted equity investors from Texas to Brunei.
Despite the glamour, not everyone is opening up their
wallets. In April, Sony Corp. struck a deal with Citigroup Inc.
and a unit of private-equity firm Lone Star Funds for a $200
million debt and equity facility, people familiar with the deal
say. Citigroup provided half of that, with a $100 million loan
to help finance a slate of as many as 15 pictures, including
"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" sequel released in May, say the
people, who asked not to be identified because the terms of the
deal are private. Sony has sought subsequent financing, they
say, though no deals are imminent. The studio was seeking $750
million, the New York Times reported in December.
Bad Returns
Financings for a slate of movies "are starting to crop up
more in everyday dialogue, and a number of potential deals are
being discussed," says JPMorgan's Shaheen. The challenge is
finding equity investors willing to risk their money on several
projects, he says.
Private-equity and hedge funds mostly stay away from the
business because of bad returns, says Amir Malin, managing
principal of Qualia Capital LLC, a New York media investment
company. Aramid Entertainment Fund Ltd., a film finance fund,
filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in June, a move
brought on by the cost of several lawsuits it had filed against
producers who defaulted on movie loans.
"When incentives of studios and co-financiers are not
aligned, we have little choice but to sit back and watch the
train wreck about to happen," says Malin.
'Safe Money'
Competition is fierce for lending to independent
filmmakers, which typically raise money on a film-by-film basis.
Distribution contracts, tax credits and rebates payable by
governments are good sources of collateral.
"It is seen as safe money," says Lee McGuirk, a partner
at the law firm DLA Piper.
Meanwhile, there's no shortage of wealthy individuals who
lend at low rates in exchange for receiving producing credits on
a film.
"There are more billionaires within 10 miles of where we
are sitting right now than there were on the planet 10 years
ago," John Sloss, founder of Cinetic Media Inc., an advisory
firm, said at the Cannes Film Festival in May. "They like
hanging around the movie business."

Collection - Moebius drawing
Isaac Asimov's Robots VCR Game (1988)
Surprisingly well-made video was part of a combination VCR/card game based on Asimov's Robot series
Jean Henri Gaston Giraud (8 May 1938 – 10 March 2012) was a French comics artist, working in the French tradition of bandes dessinées. Giraud earned worldwide fame, predominantly under the pseudonym Mœbius, and to a lesser extent Gir (used for the Blueberry series), the latter appearing mostly in the form of a boxed signature at the bottom of the artist's paintings. Esteemed by Federico Fellini and Stan Lee among other notables, he was one of the few francophone comic strip artists to receive international acclaim.
Among his most famous works are the Western comic series Blueberry he co-created with writer Jean-Michel Charlier, one of the first Western anti-heroes to appear in comics. Under the pseudonym Moebius he created a wide range of science fiction and and fantasy comics in a highly imaginative and surreal almost abstract style, the most famous of which are Arzach, the Airtight Garage of Jerry Cornelius, and The Incal. Blueberry was adapted for the screen in 2004 by French director Jan Kounen. In 1997, Moebius and cocreator Alejandro Jodorowsky sued Luc Besson for using The Incal as inspiration for his movie The Fifth Element, a lawsuit which they lost.
Moebius contributed storyboards and concept designs to numerous science fiction and fantasy films, including Alien, Willow, and Tron (1982).

Hot & Cheesy Kale & Salmon Dip
I was seriously craving spinach artichoke dip yesterday … but alas! I am all out of spinach. Hmm, but I have kale … and it occurred to me … why does spinach get all the attention? Shouldn't kale get to play in the dip too?
I also had some salmon that we had barbecued the other night that needed using, so I threw that in the dip too. By this time, it was getting pretty tasty, so I skipped the artichokes altogether and threw it in the toaster oven to bake. It totally satisfied my craving, and then some. I'm kinda wishing I hadn't eaten it all … I would really like some more now … these pictures are making me hungry!
I think this dip would be fantastic with shrimp or crab in place of the salmon …
Hot & Cheesy Kale & Salmon Dip
This makes a small portion, just right for 2 people snacking (or one hungry muncher). Double (or triple) the recipe if you are serving to several people.
- 1 heaping up of kale leaves, chopped roughly (about 2 ribs of kale)
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- Several sprigs of fresh dill
- 3 Tablespoons white wine
- 3/8 cup of salmon, flaked
- 1/4 cup fat free plain greek yogurt (or more if you want a creamier dip … I like lots of "stuff" in my dips)
- about 2 oz. of goat cheese
- 1/3 cup shredded Dubliner cheese (or parmesan)
- A bit of shredded mozzarella or Italian blend, for the top
- Put the kale leaves, garlic, onion, and dill in a food processor or handi chopper and process till the kale is chopped into tiny bits.
- Heat a frying pan to medium heat, spray with cooking spray, then add the kale mixture and the wine. Stir it around a little and cover to cook for just a few minutes, then remove the cover and cook a minute longer to evaporate the moisture from the wine.
- Mix the kale mixture with the greek yogurt, salmon, goat cheese and shredded Dubliner cheese. Put in a small casserole or oven-safe bowl and top with a little bit of shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake at 350 for about 10 – 15 minutes or until the cheese is all melted and bubbly. Serve with chips, crusty slices of bread, or vegies for dipping.
This recipe was shared at Melt in your Mouth Mondays, Makin' you Crave Mondays, Katherine Martinelli's Salmon Link Party and Totally Tasty Tuesdays.

Persuasive Essay
When you need to prove a point then use a persuasive essay to do so. It is quite generic I its format and can be based on any subject. It may not be am argumentative one but will definitely highlight a point. This will also be backed with substantial information and data. The purpose is to captivate the reader and then prove the point of view with authority. Hence the writer must be quite through with the subject matter. At no cost it should be based on some loose ends and casual information. In this way the very essence or purpose of the composition will be lost.
Like any other form of essay the research is vital and it is more important here in this case. Only on such information will the paper be based upon. Analyze the theoretical aspect of the subject matter and then work on its practical side. As a writer you must be emotionally attached to the paper and must have strong feelings for it. However do not be overwhelmed with it and do not depict the same in the document. Your approach must be focused, logical and informative. Being able to present it with the pertinent points is a skill. This will only happen if you are confident about what you feel and what you try to present. Also required is a planned and structured approach. Carefully collect the evidence from different resources and then build up the entire paper based on such researched framework. Find more interesting tips regarding essay writing.
It is definitely not as easy as it sounds. But it is always a challenge whenever you receive such assignments. While you are giving due importance to the introduction of the paper; give equal emphasis on the conclusion and the main body of the paper. The body paragraphs will be the part which will cover the examples and the supporting. The conclusion will end the paper with the final result of the entire outline essay. It will be a systematic way of dealing with a topic. Such format is very crucial once you face the professional environment. You will never get a second chance in such situations hence start early in practicing this style of writings. Lot of data and facts are required for such compositions. All these information must be gathered from reliable sources. It can be both from the primary source and from other related sources. Irrespective of the source you use you must be sure about its authenticity. Information which is not valid will never be entertained in such compositions. Read more about political essay, custom essay and law school essay writing. This information is really useful for every student.
In all forms of persuasive essay the central theme remains the same. It is a skillful way of persuading the reader to think on the lines of the writer. Since not all people think alike hence it is definitely a bit tough to compose such papers. As a writer you will have the liberty to use your viewpoints but must not hurt any personal feelings. Be original in your approach and use a structured format with a tinge of creativity.

"I'm hungover, honestly," says Dan Auerbach with a laugh, calling from the U.K. He has reason to celebrate: on Wednesday, the Black Keys scored five Grammy nominations – including Album of the Year and Best Rock Album – plus Auerbach was nominated for Producer of the Year for his work on albums including the Keys' El Camino and Dr. John's Locked Down.
"I'm excited about all of them," he said. "The producer one was a real shock to me. I was just really, really happy for Mac [Dr. John] to to get nominated. I was texting with him last night. He's excited."
Auerbach and Patrick Carney spent the night celebrating on their bus. "I had tequila. Pat was having greyhounds [vodka and grapefruit juice]. We were on the bus so we got pretty, pretty drunk." The party was interrupted when the band got hassled crossing the border from Calle, France into the U.K. "We had to do that thing at customs. We almost didn't get let into the country. We got lucky. They're usually not as forgiving as they were last night. I thought Pat was going to get a cavity search," he said, laughing again.
Auerbach's favorite record of the year he didn't work on? "Man, I really like that Tame Impala record. It's a great record. Cool sounds."
He hasn't been resting much. "I just finished up a few records – a Hanni El Khatib record. I did an album with a group from Africa called Bombino, this guitar player. I did a record with a country girl named Nikki Lane. That's a really good record, too."
He also offered an update on the status of the Keys' next studio album. "Late January is when we're going to record," he said. "We never really rehearse or practice before we get into the studio. We'll just get in there and see what happens. I've been writing every day, but I never know what's going to be a song we use or not, you know."

In Petit Lenormand Love Relationships – Part I, we examined joiner cards and how close two cards are to each other in order to determine relationships. Of course, when looking at cards that join two people, we're hoping to see some cards with good influences…
If you've applied the techniques in Part I, then you've looked at the Woman and Man cards to see how close they are and if they have joiner cards. If they are close to each other, hopefully the joiner cards are clear, but what happens if there are no obvious relationship joiner cards? What about when the woman and man cards are far from each other, but closer to other court cards…?
Signs to look out for that indicate relationships:
When Man and Woman cards land side by side without any joiner cards: normally indicates a separation. It assumes that there isn't anything holding them together. It's like the two might be close (as in living under the same roof), but they each stay in their separate corners, avoiding one another. They might be going through the motions for everyone else to see, but otherwise these two might feel like they have nothing in common anymore. There is no joy, no love… There is no glue holding these two together, and we may well be seeing the signs that a separation is in the works.
When the Man and woman have strong joiner cards between them: usually means that the relationship is strong and dynamic. Look to see if you can tell at what stage their union is at by looking at the obligations they have together. Do you see children? Do you see a ring and love, as well as happiness? If you see aggressive joiner cards, there might be a lot of tension. These two might be in an abusive relationship, or they might be at each others' throats, or simply going through a rough patch. Remember, we are interpreting things as they currently are between the two, this might well change in a few weeks…
When the Woman card is closer to another Court card, but seems to have links to the Man card: a sign that, at the time they are consulting you, the woman might be feeling closer to the Court card vs. the Man card (she might feel closer to someone other than her significant other). Is this the sign of an affair? Not necessarily, but it is certainly a clue that you should look deeper at the cards joining the Court card and the Woman. For all you know, the Court card is simply a good friend and a confidant, and most often than not, everything is kosher. If you suspect an affair, look for signs in the cards around the Court and Woman card.
The Man card is closer to a Court card than the Woman card: same as for the Woman card above, but from a male consultant's point of view.
When the Man and Woman cards are very far apart and not even influencing each other: usually a sign that the person is unattached.
When the Man or Woman cards have relationship joiner cards with cards of the same sex (Man with a King card/Woman with a Queen card): a firm indication that the person is probably in a same sex relationship.
The above examples are only a few key signs about relationships, and they are by no means exhaustive. These are only clues that you need to look out for…which are there to guide you. There are different techniques that can confirm these hunches for you, which I will cover in Petit Lenormand Love Relationships – Part III.

heart + fish what does this mean? increasing love may be?
thanks for the answer
please i'd like some help, in the grand tableau i had this combonation
i've red that man and woman side by side is not a good thing separated it means and its true,
what about the rest? it concerns only him , or maybe me too ?
thank you again
thanks for the answer,
yes on the same row, it's a nice future for both then
that's ok
thanks again
i'll check forum next time
Hello.Cant wait for you to post "heart" combinations.Cant find what "mountain" and "heart" combination does it mean.Can you tell me pls ?thanks.
hi i disagree with man + woman with no joiner cards in between…. does not mean no love or no glue.. i dont feel… can you find a positive 'spin' on what the two together could mean.. what about man + woman and then ring? would that be positive? what if other positive cards are around those two.. thanks
"When the Man or Woman cards have relationship joiner cards with cards of the same sex… it would be a firm indication that the person is probably in a same sex relationship." I am looking at a spread in which the Woman is joined to the Snake (another woman card) by the Ring, to her left, and to the Stork (also a woman card) by the Heart, to her right. Yet I know for a fact that this woman is not in a same-sex relationship and has no interest in the same sex – in fact, she is in a conflicted situation with two men (if it matters, the Man card is quite far away from her). What other interpretations would you suggest in this case?
Hi Solaris, and thank you for your question!
You're right, it doesn't always signify same sex and you should always look for clues in the surrounding cards before blurting something out of the sort..!
Snake + Ring could mean that a woman with dark hair has a commitment to her that isn't easily brushed aside. The Woman + Heart + Stork combination isn't necessarily love for another woman either. The Stork is about change and can also be about wanting children (if you see them near the stork), so in this case I would imagine that she's like to see a change of sorts (in fact the change would warm her heart).
If I were you, I would mirror/knight the people cards for more indications to see more characteristics that she could recognize. I would also look at what's influencing the heart to see if it is a happy change or not. Look for things that knight the heart card. Does the heart knight the scythe, the mice, the clouds? If so, that heart is more heartache than love.
Hope this helps,
PS: If you take out the Snake as a woman, then you have Snake as a worrisome problem with a Relationship… again, look around, knight and mirror to see who is acting like a snake.
Hi and thank you for the awesome website!
I just started studying Lenormand. Bit different from tarot. I'm hoping you might clarify the love cards technique. I had gotten woman-ring-lily-man in my GT. I have tried to figure out if this mix means an ex is resurfacing or if the bond between my current boyfriend and I is strengthened.
Do I look to the heart in the spread to find the relationship details or are the joining cards between the man and woman what is important?
Thank you
Hi, I love your blog, Im new to lenormand, but Im interested in this relationship reading, where is the 3rd part? cant wait, thks
Hi Stephen, I've tried to do some grand table reading, the one with 9×4 spreads, what if the man and woman cards don't fall in such positions so they don't have the same reflection cards? The woman falls in first row fifth column while the man in second row first column, how do I connect them? Because the question is about love, I'm confused, thanks a lot

The voice actor behind Mass Effect 2 and 3's grizzled bounty hunter, Zaeed Masani, has died unexpectedly at 61. Robin Sachs was a BioWare staple behind several characters in Dragon Age: Origins and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and was also known for his role as Ethan Raynes in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
A message posted on Sachs' official website confirms the news, though no further details of his death have been released at this time. He would have turned 62 yesterday.
"Please join us in raising a glass to Robin--goodbye, dear friend," the post read. "Thank you for all the laughter and the cookies. We will miss you so very much."
BioWare posted a brief message in Sachs' memory, thanking him for "bringing Zaeed to life in the way that only Robin could."

The gloves are on
There is an alarming rise in the number of disputes between Co-Operative Housing Society (CHS) members and their Managing Committees. An activist and expert on what to do when the building becomes a boxing ring
There is an alarming rise in the number of disputes between Co-Operative Housing Society (CHS) members and their Managing Committees. An activist and expert on what to do when the building becomes a boxing ring
It is battlefield buildings as Managing Committee members and those not on the committee, are often embroiled in a war of words and mayhem ensues at meetings. Here, Co-Operative Housing Society (CHS) activist J B Patel says the roots of the committee vs. member deadlock lie in massive ego clashes and an ignorance of rules and regulations on both sides.
An interview:
Q: Co-operative Housing Society (CHS) members and Managing Committee members are often locked in what one could call combat. What are the primary reasons for this?
Ans: Both CHS members and Managing Committee (MC) members are unaware of proper ways of doing things for smooth management of Co-operative Societies. So, both the sides are to be blamed. However, the blame on the Managing Committee should be more, as they are the ones who have opted to get elected on the MC and have volunteered to work for the society.
It is their duty to study MCS Bye Laws, MCS Acts, 1960 and MCS Rules, 1961 and function accordingly. When they do not study the laws, and do not work within the ambit of the law, they start working in an autocratic fashion. They behave like landlords and sometimes like goondas.
Illustrations/Amit Bandre
>> Members in general are not bothered about the laws although they are entitled to seek any information and copies of documents from MC U/s.32 (1) & (2) of MCS Act, 1960. Managing Committee members egotistically feel that members have no right to question their working. In case of disputes, they use unlawful and unfair methods, such as not accepting the members' correspondence, not replying. Some Managing Committees stop sending maintenance bills to members and later on attempt to declare him/her a defaulter.
>> Then, there is also the sheepish behaviour of a majority CHS members. It is a widely known fact that 80 per cent of CHS members do not know what they are signing for. CHS members will usually sign anything that is circulated. Knowing this, committees collect signatures from the members even after the meetings, even if a member has not attended a meeting at all. (If anyone conducts an experiment and asks the members if they are willing to sign the same document under oath, they may be amazed to find that most people will refuse to sign!)
Q: What are the top issues on which there are disagreements and deadlocks?
Ans: Proposed redevelopment of societies is a widespread cause of disputes. Many Managing Committees enter into collusion and underhand dealings with builders and redevelopers, who engage in underhand dealings with individual Managing Committee members. Builders and Managing Committees misrepresent matters before the society residents, deny them their fundamental rights, create disputes on petty matters and file false complaints against persons opposing redevelopment.
Even in daily functioning of societies, fights about parking leakage in flats and repairs are common problems. As the walls, ceilings and floors of flats are shared, such disputes arise, and must be amicably resolved. However, the uncooperative attitude of some members and also high handedness by the members of Managing Committee complicate these problems instead of solving them. Disputes over issues like irritation caused by children playing in the compound and making noise, or by the presence of pets, is another major problem.
Q: There are societies in which members hanker to be on the committee because of certain advantages... what might these be?
Ans: There was a time when it was difficult to find a member to work for the society in the Managing Committee. In my own society where I entered as a member in 2007, recently the Chairman announced in one of the General Body Meetings that there was never any election held prior to 2008 although the society was formed in 1982. The Managing Committee members were requested, or rather, 'forced' to form a Committee. In the very same society, today there are quarrels and fights to get into the Committee. This is largely thanks to Era of Redevelopment. In recent decades, the Managing Committees of large buildings and compounds are handling funds of lakhs and crores of rupees. There is scope for corruption and earning illegitimate incomes "on the side" by favouring a specific builder or contractor in the bidding process, especially at the time of redevelopment, major repairs or repainting.
Q: Society members must also realise that the Management Committee members are not their servants. They also give their time working on a pro bono basis.
Ans: Yes, it is true that Managing Committee members are rendering voluntary service, and their services are not appreciated by many uncooperative people living in the society. Most CHS members do not bother about the society's daily working, and either don't bother or hesitate to ask questions. However, the other side of the coin is that when residents start questioning the Committee members and try to hold them accountable, they do not take it in a democratic spirit. Instead of showing their willingness to be held accountable by giving a satisfactory answer, they act in a non-transparent manner, and retaliate in various ways by victimising the person who dared to question them.
Q: What kind of power does the CHS committee have? After all aren't members of the committee part of the CHS itself?
Ans: Although CHS members enjoy equal status vis- -vis managing committee members, problems begin when the latter start seeing themselves as being more important. If you visit any Assistant Registrar / Deputy Registrar's office, you will find that 90 per cent complaints have cropped up due to egoism. These could have been solved at CHS level itself if the Committees had handled the problems in a proper manner.
Q: Where can members go if the committee and they are at a deadlock? Who can they approach?
Ans: When a member does not get justice or solace from the Committee itself, he sees the office of Assistant Registrar or Cooperatives Registrar (AR/DR) as saviours. He can also approach the Federation of Cooperative Societies, the Cooperative Court, the office of the Cooperatives Commissioner, and the Consumer Court. Most people approach the AR/DR first. The process of grievance-redressal begins at the AR/DR, and can include any or all the above-named authorities. It can also include the Minister of Cooperative Societies.
The Managing Committee however considers it as "harassment" when an aggrieved member seeks justice from any of these forums. Managing Committee members live under the mistaken notion that the General Body is the supreme body for resolving all grievances. With the support of the General Body, which usually consists of people who act as if they are deaf, dumb and blind, the Managing Committee tries to victimize and punish the member who dares to complain.
Q: There are differences of opinion in a family too -- then, naturally there are going to be differences of opinion in a CHS too. Is this natural?
Ans: It is natural. But the head of the family has to think in the larger interest of the family, and not in an authoritarian way. All the efforts should be made to resolve the differences at society's level itself. However, three crucial differences between the family structure and the structure of Co-Operative Societies should be borne in mind:
(i)There is no legal requirement for decisions of families to be well documented and supported with paperwork. However, even routine decisions of the Co-Operative Society must be documented and signed by a responsible person.
(ii)The decisions taken in families are often arrived at in arbitrary or authoritarian ways. However, the decisions taken in Co-Operative Societies must always, without exception, be arrived at through democratic processes, meetings etc... for which proper agenda and minutes must be maintained.
(iii)Routine expenditures incurred by family members are rarely written down. In Co-Operative Societies, however, records must be maintained for every expenditure, whether large or small, and these have to be produced whenever any CHS member demands to see it.
Q: Do you think individuals have the time/money to approach higher authorities when they have a problem with the committee?
Ans: No. In most cases, the erring Managing Committee members win the battle due to the disputing CHS member's lack of time, knowledge and money. The Managing Committee spends from the society's (members) funds, the individual has to spend from his own pocket. We have a forum (email@example.com) to help and support such aggrieved members in fighting their battles.
Q: Some of the Annual General Meetings (AGM) of CHS resemble mini battlefields. There are wars going on at these meetings...
Ans: Yes. It is true. We suggest a video shooting of the General Body Meetings or AGMs. This has been proved useful in many Societies where AGMs are very acrimonious. If the directives for Co-Operative Societies are followed, the meetings will be very peaceful.
Q: There is also the prospect that in certain buildings, nobody wants to be part of the committee as all the work falls on the shoulders of the committee, with other members taking little part in it...
Ans: Members have to realise that the Society where he/she stays is their own society and they belong to the Society. If this feeling does not prevail, then there is a provision under the Society's acts where such societies will be managed with the help of Administrator appointed by the AR/DR of the respective ward. This alternative is highly undesirable.

BOSTON (MyFoxBoston.com) -- Polls show Martha Coakley is the clear frontrunner in the race for governor, and she holds a commanding lead over her nearest competitors, including Republican Charlie Baker.
With all of the state's scandals continuing to grow under this current administration, it raises questions about whether or not candidates running for governor, especially Republicans, are missing opportunities to draw a contrast.
As state scandals continue to rack up, a missing child under the care of DCF, the failed health connector website, the drug lab scandal and the compounding pharmacy mess, we have a governor who is on vacation in Costa Rica and weighing a run for higher office.
Are gubernatorial candidates missing opportunities to make a mark in this crowded race?
"I think it's very hard for a Democrat, almost impossible for a Democrat, to try to criticize the governor," said Democratic strategist and Liberty Square Group President Scott Ferson. "That's probably a losing strategy."
Ferson is not affiliated with any gubernatorial candidate, but knows all about how a campaign runs here in Massachusetts. Governor Deval Patrick remains very popular in polls, despite his administration's repeated failures. Ferson says Coakley is running her campaign like a frontrunner.
"I think Martha Coakley's strategy is she hopes nobody remembers there's an election and she'll just be elected," said Ferson. "She's the frontrunner, which is great. The problem when she was the frontrunner when she ran for Senate a couple of years ago, that didn't work out, so she's now got to be the frontrunner and appeal to the electorate that she's engaged."
You could understand why Democrats won't say anything negative about the current administration, but what about Republicans?
Surely you can draw contrasts.
At best, candidate Charlie Baker has been measured in his criticism.
"I don't think he's come out against Deval Patrick because Deval Patrick isn't running for governor! And he will be out of there sooner than later," said Diane McNamara, Republican strategist and owner of Fire it Up PR.
She says it's early, and that Baker is doing what he's supposed to do in February.
"Right now, I would say that Charlie Baker is doing what every good candidate should do, which is put your best foot forward," said McNamara. "Both of them are waiting. Charlie is putting his best foot forward and he's coming to the campaign with a strategy, with a platform. Martha's is just don't light any fires you have to put out, and that's what I think her strategy is."
Both strategists agree this race really won't pick up until after Labor Day, when more people will pay attention. Ferson says for a Republican, a 'sprint to the finish in October' might make sense in a heavily Democratic state.

Open house this afternoon
From Press Reports
Most centenarians are slowing down and avoiding modern technology, but the Mississippi State University Extension Service is doing neither as it approaches its 100th birthday. Dr. Gary Jackson, director of Extension, recently reflected on many changes that have occurred during the last 100 years.
"Our nation and state have come a long way since 1914. We lived through boll weevil invasions, the Depression and world wars. Each one had crippling effects on the state, but Extension agents were present to help see clients through those challenges and others," Jackson said. "For example, Mississippi's cotton farms are 100 percent boll weevil free today, due in a large part to Extension's efforts working with the farmers themselves, who all did what it took to eliminate cotton's historic No. 1 pest."
He added, "We can point to similar stories in other commodities, where simple or not-so-simple changes enabled growers to be more successful. Home demonstration clubs in the early years of Extension evolved into home economics programs and continue today in a variety of family and consumer science activities addressing topics such nutrition, health, financial literacy, volunteer programs and home-based businesses.
4-H, Extension's flagship program for young people, has also evolved in the last 100 years, Jackson said. Mississippi received the first federal dollar budgeted in the United States for the forerunner of today's 4-H. This funding was for corn club programs in Holmes County in 1907. These were precursors of 4-H, even before Extension was created.
"Early youth clubs sought to send children home to their families with better skills in agriculture, food and textiles," Jackson said. "Today's 4-H members still do those projects but so much more."
Paula Threadgill, associate director of the MSU Extension Service, oversees the state 4-H program.
"Youth are involved in technology projects, such as robotics, and also programs like ATV safety and shooting sports," she said. "Leadership skills and citizenship projects are where we really get the reassurance that our future communities will be in good hands."
To celebrate 100 years of the Extension Service in Mississippi, the Webster County Extension office is hosting an open house today, May 8, from 2-4 p.m. at its office located at 16 E. Fox Ave. in Eupora.
"I'm not sure where we would be in Mississippi without the Extension Service," said Randy Knight, president of the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation. "They provide current research and information to farmers and consumers in all 82 counties. Without the technology advancements developed through Extension, our farmers would still be light years behind where they are now. We at Farm Bureau have a close relationship with Extension and congratulate them on their 100th birthday."

Tim Sherwood always believed that the tide would turn for Roberto Soldado. The Tottenham Hotspur manager said so last week, when he put forward the old favourite about the striker simply needing one to ricochet in off his backside to get him back in the groove.
The breakthrough, which also served to deepen Cardiff City's mounting anxiety, was a thing of rather more beauty. It was the kind of instinctive finish, following a smart run, that Tottenham had hoped to see more of this season, after his £26m arrival from Valencia. Yet it was extremely welcome here; a flash of quality on an otherwise drab occasion.
Soldado has now pulled clear of Jermain Defoe, who has departed for FC Toronto, as the club's leading scorer this season with 11 goals in all competitions, although the fact seems to have slipped under the radar. It is because of the slightly devalued feel to his five Europa League goals while four of the six in the Premier League have been penalties. This one ticked all the right boxes.
Cardiff gave everything and they were still throwing punches in injury-time when everybody, including the goalkeeper David Marshall, flooded the Tottenham penalty area for two corners. But they came to nothing and the club's vociferous travelling supporters might reflect that, apart from a Steven Caulker header on 29 minutes that rattled the crossbar, they did not examine Tottenham closely enough.
Vincent Tan, the club's owner, had addressed the squad in the hotel on Saturday night and, according to manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, he was encouraging and supportive. "It was the first time he's done that since I've been here and you could see the effect on the players," Solskjaer said. But the statistics continue to show that Solskjaer has a single league victory on his two-month watch and survival opportunities are running out. The home match against Fulham on Saturday has a make-or-break feel.
Soldado's decisive contribution allowed Sherwood to give vent to unbridled joy on the touchline and he was not the only one in Tottenham colours to feel the thrill. It was a moment when Soldado also repaid the faith of the home support, who had earlier belted out his name despite him touching wide at the near post from Aaron Lennon's first minute cross.
The goal stemmed from Andros Townsend's break and when Emmanuel Adebayor rolled a cute pass through the Cardiff defence, Soldado took an excellent first touch before steering the second into the far corner.
"If Robbie wasn't showing the desire in training, I would have left him out," said Sherwood, who reported that Kyle Walker and Christian Eriksen would miss the England-Denmark friendly on Wednesday night with hip and back injuries respectively. "But I've looked Robbie in the eyes and I know he's always had the belief. He's a true pro and a great character."
Solskjaer had not anticipated being unhinged by a quick counter when he set up to be compact with a new-look five-man defence. He had hoped it would be his team hitting on the break and there were flickers from Craig Bellamy and Fraizer Campbell.
Cardiff almost equalised after Soldado's goal when Hugo Lloris found himself boxed in on a Bellamy corner and Caulker crashed a header up and against the crossbar from three yards out. But there was little else by way of goalmouth incident.
The excellent Michael Dawson made a saving tackle on Kim Bo-kyung after a Bellamy run while the Tottenham captain flashed a header just wide at the other end. Declan John was denied by Lloris in the 40th minute after a powerful surge.
John impressed going forward but he was less secure when confronted by Lennon and he was fortunate not to concede a penalty early in the second-half when he tripped the Tottenham winger. The contact looked to be just inside the area but Phil Dowd deemed it to have been outside. John was booked.
Cardiff stuck together, their shape was good and they restricted Tottenham. But, despite Solskjaer's attacking substitutions, it was difficult to see where the goal would come from.
The second-half was even less eventful than the first as sloppy errors fractured the rhythm but it was somehow more of a spectacle due to the rising levels of tension. Cardiff's day was summed up when the substitute Kenwyne Jones knocked over Campbell as they went for the same ball and when Marshall denied the Tottenham substitute Harry Kane, it was clear that the occasion would belong to Soldado.

Don't know why I was bald? Read This
This is the new playroom in the basement. I have grand ideas of painting the walls with something fun...I'm just not sure what yet. I know I would love to get some of the vinyl letters and do some of the phrases from the Dr. Seuss book "Oh, The Places You'll Go." But, until then, I'm just ecstatic that the toys are organized!
The hole in the wall is a window into the "clubhouse" under the stairs. (The door to the clubhouse is in the hallway.) The kids love to play McDonald's and I'm constantly hearing, "I'd like a cheeseburger and fries!" :) We need to hit Subway more, apparently.So, proof that life does go on and I am still accomplishing some things. :)
My mother-in-law sent these flowers over for me. Poor Mom came over that day and I just laid on the couch crying. I'm sure it was uncomfortable for her...she just didn't know what to say. I LOVE the vase and cannot wait to put some tulips in it this summer.
These flowers were waiting for me when I got home from picking up kids today. They probably surprised me most of all...though I know they shouldn't. My wonderful friends Crys, Jen and Nancy sent me these roses. What makes that so special, you ask? I have never, ever met these women. Or, even talked to them, for that matter. They are blogging Mommies that have become some of my very best friends. Not a day goes by that I don't "talk" to at least one of them. I have been within a few hundred feet of Crys in Primary Children's Medical Center...texting her the whole time...but have never seen her face to face.
Whenever I see roses, I am reminded of a story I read a long time ago. This was written by Carol M. Sieverts and printed in the April 1988 Ensign. It is a touching story and will stick with you for years to come.
"My Husband Always Brings Me Roses
(But they're rarely from the florist.)
Growing up as an incurable romantic, I was certain that when Prince Charming came along on his white charger, his arms would be filled with red roses. My tall, dark, and handsome prince would bow deeply, then shower me with the roses before sweeping me away on his trusty steed.
Indeed, I did find my prince. He was tall, dark, and handsome. But I should have recognized some flaws in my plan when his white charger turned out to be an Arabian bay mare. At first, I was so caught up in the excitement of love and marriage that I completely forgot the roses. Later, though, as daily routine dulled some of the excitement, I began to wonder about the armloads of roses I'd been expecting. Somehow, they kept eluding me.
True, at the births of our first three babies, thanks to some broad hints dropped throughout each pregnancy, he had remembered the roses—one dozen long-stemmed beauties each time. Then, with number four, his practical nature finally got the best of him, and he presented me with—a cactus! It was a big, beautiful cactus—but still I longed for roses.
Several completely flowerless years passed. Then, as I was about to resign myself to a life without roses, a wonderful thing happened. I began to see that roses are where you find them, and they don't always have red velvet petals or long green stems. This prince of mine had been showering me with roses all along. I had just failed to notice.
One night, I was awakened by the sounds of a sick child in the room across the hall. I called to him, warning him to hurry to the bathroom. But down the hall, I could hear undeniably that he had not been successful. I hurried to his rescue and helped him bathe and change clothes. When I returned our child to bed, I found my prince on his hands and knees, scrubbing the hall carpet. It was only after we had finished cleaning the carpet and had returned to bed that I realized what a lovely rose my husband had just given me.
Since then, I have found roses everywhere. I love to jog, but my prince doesn't share my enthusiasm. Still, he will take me miles out of his way to find a new route. Then he tends the children until I return home. It was also my nonathletic prince who gave me my beautiful new running suit.
I see his roses in everyday loyalty. He hauls my paraphernalia to every Relief Society meeting I conduct. I won't say he has never complained, but there is always a good natured, lighthearted feeling in his teasing. This bouquet of support is one of lasting beauty.
When my father passed away, my prince again was there, with perhaps his finest rose. My mother was left with a big home and yard, as well as the everyday problems of living alone. My husband took responsibility for two households without a second's hesitation. And he has done it in such a sensitive way that my mother feels his sincere love and is not uncomfortable or embarrassed by his care. Could any other rose have smelled as sweet?
When I was young, I foolishly prayed for a life filled with romance. But a wise Heavenly Father has blessed me with something far richer—a life filled with genuine love.
I thank my Heavenly Father, too, for giving me the maturity to recognize roses where I find them. Support, kindness, thoughtfulness, and generosity may not be the kinds of roses I dreamed of as a romantic young girl, but as I discover and treasure each blossom, I become more grateful for this strong, kind, and gentle Prince Charming who showers me each day with roses."
Mommy's "Little Man", is becoming such a "Big Boy!"
Avery is my 3 year old. This is the girl that can make me laugh, or have me banging my head against the wall. She is stubborn and unpractical, but her smile and giant eyes makes my heart burst with love.
Luke is my one year old, little man. He is the son that every mother hopes for. He is so much fun and constantly has us laughing. He is so talkative and I love hearing the comments that come out of his mouth.
I am a student at a local college, hoping to one day graduate as an RN. I have a passion for pregnant women and babies, so working in L & D would be my dream job. I'm taking it one semester at a time and trying not to get too overwhelmed with what the future will hold.
Thanks for stopping by and peeking in on my world, I hope you enjoyed the ride! Come back and visit us again real soon, ya hear? :)

HAMBURG, N.Y. (WIVB) – The accused Toys R Us killer wants to prevent prosecutors from using statements he made to police.
Bernard Grucza appeared in State Supreme Court on Wednesday. He's accused of murdering the assistant manager of Toys R Us in Hamburg last summer.
His attorney says Grucza made statements to police that should not be used at trial because a lawyer wasn't present.
Justice Penny Wolfgang wants the defendant to deal with federal gun charges in a separate case before she makes a ruling.
