SAN MARINO – Somehow, Dorothy Tang and the San Marino High School girls tennis team topped the 2009 season.
It certainly was no easy task. The Titans won their first CIF-Southern Section title in 11 seasons in 2009. Freshman Tang, an experienced USTA player, had to make the adjustment to playing against 18-year-olds.
The Titans and the Rio Hondo League were bumped up from CIF-SS Division 3 to Division 2. They didn't receive a top seed, but knocked off two seeded teams en route to their second consecutive CIF-SS title and their first back-to- back crowns since winning four consecutive titles from 1985 through '88.
Tang went undefeated in the playoffs, including a 6-3 victory over Murrieta Valley's Meghan Sheehan-Dixon, who'd been undefeated in CIF-SS competition until that match. That was in a 15-3 quarterfinal victory for the Titans, and the Nighthawks were undefeated going into that match.
Tang then reached the CIF-SS individual tournament's Round of 16 before losing to Warren's Nicole Kosakowski.
The sophomore was selected the Star-News Player of the Year for the second consecutive year.
Arcadia's Jerry Dohling is the Star-News Coach of the Year. He helped the Apaches to an undefeated regular season.
"I've been improving," Tang said of her play. "My goal is just to improve. I'm more consistent. My serve has improved."
She won her second consecutive league individual title, defeating teammate Sarah Gealer for the second year in a row, 6-3, 6-2. In the playoffs she went 15-0, beating Newport Harbor's singles players all by 6-0 scores in the Titans' 11-7 CIF-SS championship match.
In the individual playoffs, she won her first three rounds, giving up only eight games. An arch injury hampered her against Kosakowski in the Round of 16, and she lost 7-6 (7-2), 6-4. Tang defeated Kosakowski in the '09 CIF-SS team playoffs.
"It was important because I went further," Tang said of reaching the Round of 16. "I'm really happy with that. I'm hoping to go further each year."
Her teammate, junior Gealer, also reached the Round of 16 in the CIF-SS individuals. She lost to Woodbridge's Mayo Hibi, 6-4, 6-4, and Hibi played for the CIF-SS title. Gealer scored three wins en route to the Round of 16 berth, giving up only two games. In the CIF-SS team finals she went 3-0, also earning her all-area first-team honors. Her biggest playoff win might have been against Sheehan-Dixon, after Tang beat the Murrieta Valley player.
Sisters Tammy and Vivian Le rarely played doubles together until this season. It was the only time the pair will play together in high school; Tammy is a senior and Vivian is a freshman.
The pair, also earning first- team honors, went further in the CIF-SS individual playoffs than any other San Gabriel Valley competitors. They reached the quarterfinals, losing to eventual champions Velerie Thong and Zoe Katz of Campbell Hall, 6-1, 6-1. They defeated Temple City's Stephanie Wei and Joy Huang 6-1, 6-3 for the league title and won four matches leading up to the quarterfinals, including a 6-3, 6-7 (4-7), 7-5 win over Troy's Allison Radde and Brittanie Eraso in the Round of 16.
Perhaps their biggest impact, though, was in the team competition. Having Tang and Gealer gave the Titans a big advantage in the playoffs, but the Le sisters came up with key wins over Crescenta Valley and Santa Barbara to help propel the Titans to the title match. Newport Harbor built its team around its doubles play, but the Le sisters beat the Sailors in two of the three matches.
"Everyone has gotten better," Tang said.
"We improved in our doubles a lot more. Division 2 was definitely harder."
Arcadia scored a pair of 10-8 victories over Crescenta Valley to win the Pacific League title. The Apaches entered the CIF-SS Division 2 playoffs undefeated at 18-0 but, like the Titans, were mostly forgotten. The Apaches also didn't receive a seed in the tournament.
They defeated fourth- seeded Diamond Bar in the quarterfinals before falling to top seed Newport Harbor, 13-5, in the CIF-SS semifinals. It was the furthest the Apaches have advanced in the playoffs in Dohling's 18 years as the Arcadia head coach.
"We just had a great season," Dohling said.
"All the girls got along really well. They improved over last year. It was a very, very special season for all of us. Both our singles and doubles really mixed well. It was a fun atmosphere to be around."
Apaches sophomore Francis Dean won the Pacific League individual tournament with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Crescenta Valley's Erin Levoir. She reached the finals of the CIF-SS individual regionals, losing to Tang 6-1, 6-2 at the Whittier Narrows Tennis Center.
Dean was a big part of the Apaches' success, but the doubles teams played a major part in the long playoff run. Freshman Michelle Zhu and senior Elizabeth Lieu were the Apaches' No. 1 team throughout the season but were upset in the league individual semifinals. Teammates Caroline Young, a junior, and Annie Tung, a sophomore, were the Apaches' No. 2 team and took second in the league finals, losing to Crescenta Valley's Karen Ataiah and Sarah Ali 6-1, 6-3.
Ataiah was the Falcons' No.1 singles player throughout the season and was switched to doubles for the individual tournament. The CV pair reached the Round of 16. The Arcadia pair reached the individual playoff regional finals at Whittier Narrows.
Junior Kira Lee helped Flintridge Prep to third in the Prep League, and she won the league individual title. In the individual playoffs, she lost to Gealer in the individual regional finals, 6-1, 6-1.
Lee had a hand in playing Newport Harbor to one of its toughest wins, in the second round of the team playoffs. After the Rebels defeated Glendale, 11-7, in the wild-card round and Sea View League champion Mission Viejo, 10-8, in the first round, Lee went 3-0 against the Sailors in the 12-6 defeat.

Working Together
Today was a fantastic day for our senior classes. Not only did our sixth class have a history walk, both 6th and 5th classes had the most interesting learning experience in the beautiful surrounds of the Ship Room of the Monastery! Both classes have been studying the life of an inspirational young Pakistani girl named Malala Yousafzai, a young girl shot by the Taliban for championing the right to equality and education for all. In conjunction with this learning, Ms McGailey arranged for both classes to get a lecture from Pakistani native, our own Brother Kevin from the Edmund Rice Centre. He delivered a most interesting presentation on his homeland which had the boys engrossed. He then introduced us to two modern day heroes from Afghanistan, Homayoon and Quadratullah. These two men are former workers with our own NGO, Concern and they spent much time trying to bring education to the children of their homeland, sometimes in the face of the most extraordinary dangers. They lost many colleagues and friends and their work and heroism really struck a chord with the boys. Thank you to Brother Kevin and his colleagues for a most enriching learning experience! It is something that I am sure will have had a most positive impact on the boys.

A Drowning Angel
Guaynabo, Puerto Rico
Label: Unsigned
Current: Post Industrial, Experimental, Electronica
By: Ava-Mimose
Fake And Plastic – Album Review
On June 10th, the underground Industrial - Dark Wave band A Drowning Angel released their first EP Fake And Plastic.
Its starts off with the very first track being appropriately titled "Fake And Plastic" basically setting the tone for the 5-track EP. It gives you an idea of what your about to encounter with ADA (A Drowning Angel).
Track 2 Vampire - (in my opinion) sets its self up in an underground rave. Which I think is awesome. Its perfect! And you automatically feel like your either just entering or have been inside this dark, hot and loud space where everyone is just so cramped up close and not giving a fuck because all you wanna do is just dance to the hypnotizing sound coming from ADA.
Track 3 Undead Raver - Is like the ultimate brake down. Like this is when your really feeling yourself. Just feeling the environment your in, everything and everyone around you. Its like there isn't a care in the world.
Track 4 Alice in Oblivion - The tile alone will have you think what your already thinking. And that's if you and I are thinking alike. I so feel like Alice in Wonderland with this but on . . . yeah I think you know what I mean. And this track is by far one of my favorites on this EP.
Track 5 Lost In Silent Hill - The last track. The most amazing I think. The beginning of the song does have elements from the very popular video game Silent Hill. But what i really like about this song its a total "Energy Come Down" it is kinda what you want went at any underground rave. You need that ONE song to bring that high intense partying that's been going on through out the night to finally come to an end. And if not an end you want it to slow the fuck down so you rest - than lets start the party ONE. MORE. TIME.
Before the release of Fake And Plastic a single from the highly anticipated EP "Undead Raver" was released on February 19th of this year. The single features Undead Raver along with a B side from Undead Raver and a raw demo for the track Alice in Oblivion.
You can listen to them on these site:

Do you know what's brilliant? When you bump into random people on the street who wear geek paraphernalia. Well, Damian and I were walking out of the Métro a couple of days ago and noticed some distinctive looking dolls hanging from an olive backpack.
"Intel bunny men", we said to ourselves. The owner turned around and I smiled at her and told her she was awesome, as I am wont to do. She noted that she had a Tux button as well.
We got on the bus and she hung out with her boy. Damian and I kept talking about random things when kyotto noticed me. We basically only meet while riding the 80, which is awesome but leaves our friendship up to happenstance.

UPDATE: In Moto3 Hiroki Ono and Jorge Martin both receive three place grid demotions for dangerous riding, while Jakub Kornfeil starts last for a technical infringement.
Both Moto3 and Moto2 look to have their championship winners sorted out and while Johann Zarco seems capable of turning things up a notch in Moto2 to stay ahead, Enea Bastianini looks ready for one final lunge to stop Danny Kent, made all the harder after his fall at Silverstone as Kent took the spoils.
Qualifying Reports
Enea Bastianini racked up pole number three for the season with a great late lap seeing him hit pole despite nearly hitting Jorge Martin.
The Gresini rider set a storming lap of 1m 42.486 on his Honda beating all-comers despite his traffic troubles.
|Familiar? Marini has a Moto2 wild-card Photo:PonsRacing.com
Behind him Brad Binder secured his first front row start and was the top KTM rider with championship leader, Leopard's Danny Kent, needing a last minute fast lap to propel him up to third, as he aims to move closer to the Moto3 title.
His late dash knocked Niccolo Antonelli into fourth for Ongetta-Rivacold as he continues a strong second half to the season. The Italian is joined on row two by fellow countryman Romano Fenati, the Sky team racer another rider finding late improvement.
The final spot on row two went to early session leader, Red Bull KTM Ajo's Miguel Oliveira.
Efren Vazquez fell but had done enough for seventh for the Leopard Team, with Lorenzo Dalla Porta (Husqvarna Factory Laglisse) eighth, Philipp Oettl (Schedl GP Racing) ninth and Hiroki Ono tenth on the third Leopard entry. (*See above for changes*)
John Mcphee could only manage 26thfor SaxoPrint-RTG, and was behind his team-mate Masbou who took the 13th grid spot.
There were also a fall for Andrea Locatelli. Wild-card Adrian Gyutai starts 33rd.
Alex Rins looked to have Moto2's pole position all sewn up, reducing the lap record repeatedly as he controlled the session.
It was not to be for the Paginas Amarillas rider with a late lap of 1m 36.754 from championship leader Johann Zarco, denying the Spaniard by just 0.002s
They are joined on the front row by reigning champion Tito Rabat, with all the other riders unable to break the 1m 37s barrier.
Simone Corsi starts from fourth for Forward Racing. He is joined on row two by Dominique Aegerter – who has looked at ease around Misano on his Technomag Racing Interwetten all weekend – in fifth and Hafizh Syahrin with a career best qualifying performance in sixth.
Sam Lowes went back to his old settings and had his best lap cancelled on his way to seventh for Speed Up. He is joined on row three by Taka Nakagami for Idemitsu in eighth and Jonas Folger (AGR Team) in ninth. Julian Simon (Italtrans) completes the ten fastest times.
There were crashes for Xavier Simeon, Alex Marquez Axel Pons and Ricky Cardus. Xavi Vierge lost his Tech3 which then crossed the track twice.
Valentino Rossi's half brother Luca Marini has a wild card and starts 26th two places ahead in 24th is fellow wild card rider Mattia Pasini.

Ranger stations were the highlights of the day. The first station was three miles into my morning walk. I loaded up on my first water in 18 miles, and I came across a young group of fire fighters willing to pose for a photo.
The next ranger station was spaced out another 18 miles ahead, with no water inbetween. Fortunately, it's been downright chilly out here at high altitude this week so I'm not drinking desert volumes.
The only hiker I passed all day was a girl named Fish Nugget. We criss-crossed a couple times before walking together for the last 8 miles. She grew up out West, has a crop of unique experiences from living on an eco-farm in Missouri, and she inspired me to make it to that ranger station in time for Snickers.
The app I use, Guthook's PCT, has a comment section under the points of interest. And on May 12, someone posted that a guy at the ranger station sells snickers and soda out of a cooler until 7 pm.
We were about 8 miles out when we discovered this. But with less than 3 hours until 7pm, it would be no easy task. I'm not sure I would've made it in time on my own.
We hauled ***. And pulled within 3 miles at the top of the final hour. Somehow we made it just minutes before 7.
But there was no cooler or car in sight.
Until, a hiker showed us the way to the magic cooler.
Sure enough, a man appeared at 7pm to take it all away. But not before I bought three snickers and two sodas, for dinner.
Trail magic.

Sonia's Fun Fact #1029: I live on 3 main food groups – Chai, Biryani and Chaat!
Now, as I fight the urge to go make the first 2 items, I figured I might as well share a quick recipe for one of my favorite dishes!
Dahi Puri has been a longstanding winner in the chaat category – particularly because I'm a huge yogurt fan. If you didnt know already – it is literally the coconut oil of dairy products.
Too spicy? Add yogurt. Too bland? Add yogurt. Need a face mask? Add yogurt. You broke? Add yogurt.
Trust me, It's all relevant.
In all seriousness though, this is definitely one of my go-to snacks on the rare occasion I get to snuggle up with my besties and catch up. The club can wait – this chaat cannot!
So, without further ado, here's my rendition of Dahu Puri that will have you feelin' all sorts of Bollywood goodness!
Dahi Puri
This Dahi Puri recipe is so easy to make and fun to make – you'll be wishing for more! Feel free to add more chili powder to make it a little spicier!
Serves 3 people
- 12-24 Puris (Had to use pre-made puris for the pictured set because I was on a time crunch but I highly recommend that you make your own for the future. I'll post a recipe for that soon!)
- Green Chutney, as needed
- Red Chutney, as needed
- 1-1 1/2 cups Plain Non-Fat Yogurt beaten with 1-2 tablespoons of water and 1/2 tsp of sugar.
- Coriander / Cilantro Leaves for Garnishing
- Chaat Masala
- Sev (optional)
For Filling:
- 2 potatoes, cubed and boiled
- 1 cup cooked chick peas
- 2 tomatoes chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
- 1 tbsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 1/2 red onion chopped finely
- 1/2 tbsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp red chili powder
- Salt & Black Pepper to Taste
Filling Directions:
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil on low to medium heat and add cumin and mustard seeds. Stir occasionally and cook until fragrant – approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Add ginger garlic paste and onions. Cook until onions have browned. Feel free to add a couple dashes of water to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Once onions have browned, add tomatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt and pepper. Stir and cook until tomatoes are mashed – approximately 5 minutes. Add water to avoid sticking during this step as well.
- Add the cooked potatoes and chick peas, stir until spices have been thoroughly combined. Mash potatoes slightly so they are not too large but not fully mashed. See photo for reference.
- Taste for salt / spices. Add necessary spices for adjustment.
- Upon completion, set aside to cool for stuffing.
Assembly Directions:
- Gather all ingredients and keep nearby for easy assembly.
- Break a whole on the top of each puri large enough to fit stuffing.
- Fill each puri with the potato / chick pea mixture and set out on a plate.
- Top off each with yogurt mixture, green and red chutney. Sprinkle sev all over with an even coating of chaat masala.
- Garnish with coriander / cilantro leaves.
- Serve immediately with chai

Property Division
One common issue that divorcing couples face is how to divide their shared property. In Maine, this is referred to as Disposition of Property. In addition to property, couple will also have to allocate their debts evenly. A couple can choose to divide their property in a number of ways. In some cases, everything will be split in a way that both parties feel they receive an equal share. In other situations, the assets can be sold and parties will split the income. In yet another option, one party may receive the majority of the property and the other a cash stipend.
Dividing Assets in Maine Through Litigation
In some cases, the couple can reach an agreement as to how to divide their property, but in others, the Court may be trusted to make a ruling. Maine is an equitable distribution state which means that the Court will look to divide the marital property fairly and evenly. According to Maine Revised Statutes, Title 19-A, section 953:
In a proceeding for a divorce, for legal separation or for disposition of property following dissolution of the marriage by a court that lacked personal jurisdiction over the absent spouse or lacked jurisdiction to dispose of the property, the court shall set apart to each spouse the spouse's property and shall divide the marital property in proportions the court considers just after considering all relevant factors, including:
- What each party contributed to the acquisition of the property (this includes the contributions of a homemaker)
- The value of the property
- Each party's economic circumstances (this includes the desirability of awarding the family home to the party who is given primary custody)
If you are considering filing for divorce in Maine and would like to find out more about disposition of property laws, contact WTB Law right now.
Maine Division of Property Laws
Before property can be divided, a couple must identify all property that is to be split. In most cases, the majority of a couple's property is considered joint or marital property. There are only a few circumstances where property will not be included. As defined in Maine Law, Title 29-A, section 953.2, "marital property" refers to all property that either spouse acquired during the course of the marriage with the exception of:
A. Property acquired by gift, bequest, devise or descent;
B. Property acquired in exchange for property acquired prior to the marriage or in exchange for property acquired by gift, bequest, devise or descent;
C. Property acquired by a spouse after a decree of legal separation;
D. Property excluded by valid agreement of the parties; and
E. The increase in value of property acquired prior to the marriage and the increase in value of a spouse's nonmarital property as defined in paragraphs A to D.
(1) "Increase in value" includes: (a) Appreciation resulting from market forces; and (b) Appreciation resulting from reinvested income and capital gain unless either or both spouses had a substantial active role during the marriage in managing, preserving or improving the property.
(2) "Increase in value" does not include: (a) Appreciation resulting from the investment of marital funds or property in the nonmarital property; (b) Appreciation resulting from marital labor; and (c) Appreciation resulting from reinvested income and capital gain if either or both spouses had a substantial active role during the marriage in managing, preserving or improving the property.
Additionally, property that was acquired by either party during their marriage and before the divorce or legal separation was filed is considered to be marital property regardless of who's name the title is in. This means that all property, unless it applies to one of the above situations, is considered marital property regardless of who is granted written ownership, who occupies the property or who acquired the property. Certain laws also apply specifically to real estate land. Even real estate that only one party holds a title to can be included if certain requirements are met.
If a final divorce ruling does not divide some marital property, the spouses will both be given joint ownership of the property and may divide or set aside the property as they see fit.

It has been an especially calming day and I give credit to the snow. Here, in Victoria BC, it is rare to get snow, let alone approximately fifteen centimetres in one night.
Waking up just before 3:00am to snow was blissful. There was a sense of calm in the crisp air, quietness outside, and a orange glow reflecting off the freshly fallen snow. On a typical morning I would want to crawl back under the covers, turn on my heating pad, and fall back asleep. Today, however, I had an urge to venture outside before others left footprints in the fluffy stuff.
Timely, yesterday I organized all of my scarves, toques, and gloves. It made for a quick bundling up session this morning before venturing outside to Victoria's snowfall of the year. I, for just a little while, felt like I was back in Alberta or Ontario.
The goal was to walk outside, to imprint my footsteps along the sidewalk and create a narrative that hide the many other stories and feet that traversed the same ground just hours before without leave a physically visible mark.
Along the way, I was excited by the snow as it found crevasses within tree branches, railings protecting pedestrians from the step hill down to the oceanside, and along the pier. It was the perfect morning to wandering with thoughts floating through my mind only to be interrupted by the rare car passing by.
While I believed I was the only one out wandering during the nighttime snowfall, I was excited and unmoved to see footsteps of a few others. My guess, by the light snow cover over their steps was that they ventured down the same pier as I just moments before me. Their footprints stole the show, altered my narrative, and created the perfect contrast to this calm and clear morning.
With another snowstorm warning in place for this Friday evening, I have decided to stay indoors and to admire the beauty of winter from underneath a heated blanket while watching movies from my younger days such as "The Breakfast Club", "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "Pretty in Pink".
The winter season is one upon us and I hope that you have found comfort in your friends, family, and in front of a cozy fireplace with a great cup of tea!

Today our main focus is on the Snapseed APK which has been around for quite some time now and is the ideal camera application for your Android device because it pretty much enhances the camera quality. I personally have been using Snapchat for the camera application and it acts as a viable substitute for all of your camera problems but the only issue with the app is that it drains a huge part of your battery.
The Snapseed application is a Google initiative which has been out there helping out people with great quality pictures as well as editing the ones which didn't come so good. Almost everyone out there believes that today's smartphones are being used in large number as point and shoot cameras.
The main usage of the Snapseed application is to allow you to apply digital filters and edit out your pictures to absolute perfection. Snapseed used to be an iOS exclusive until Google went ahead and bought the company for a decent price and ended up integrating it into their Android Operating system.

When buying suncare, do you look for the 5-star rating? If so, then read on.
The 5-star rating was introduced by Boots as part of a marketing initiative. Suncare companies that wish to sell their products in Boots outlets, or adopt the 5-star rating, have to pay a license fee to Boots. However, it is only a UK rating system; it is not recognised in Europe or globally, nor is it a part of any EU regulations or industry standard testing for protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays.
Over the years, many people and even insitutions like the NHS have come to rely upon this rating system as an indication of how well a sunscreen will protect because it has been extremely well marketed by Boots as a bench mark for suncare products. In truth, it can be misleading. Sunscreens like Hawaiian Tropic, Banana Boat and even Boots' own brand Soltan, all failed a Which? survey last year after testing revealed that they did not provide the level of SPF they claimed to and yet all these products carry a 5 star rating.
The most important symbol to look for on any sunscreen is the UVA/UVB one. Only sun protection with these symbols have passed stringent testing and conform to the strict industry standards demanded by the European Union.
Requirements for CANSA's Seal of Recognition
Techniblock does not display a star rating system because it is manufactured in South Africa. However, it does display the UVA/UVB symbol and the CANSA SunSmart Choice logo.
CANSA's Seal of Recognition (CSOR) is placed on products that offer protection against natural environmental elements that may lead to cancer, such as solar radiation. Techniblock is recommended by CANSA which confirms that it adheres to the new COLIPA standards and / or SANS 1557:2013 Edition 3.2 (incorporating the new ISO standards) and bear the CANSA SunSmart Choice Seal (CSSS)
Products that pass the stringent protection requirements, qualify for the CANSA Seal of Recognition, namely the CANSA SunSmart Choice Seal (CSSS).
CANSA recommends chosing a sunscreen with both UVA and UVB protection and an SPF of at least 30 to 50.

Avoid Mad Libs tags. Those are moves that just swap out a noun, be it a character or a location, for a different character or location, and then just do the same scene. So if its "Weird guy that wants to marry a giraffe in a restaurant", no it's "weird guy that wants to marry a giraffe in a movie theater." That tag doesn't give us anything new, it's just the same scene with a different coat of paint. Those are the boring tag runs you describe.

We'll it's time for my confession. I am doing my first quilt block swap ever and my newbie-ness is showing thru. I am participating in a Halloween See Saw Swap that Michele over at Quilts From My Crayon Box put together. Sharon, my partner, has been teaching me about Wonky blocks and Hoochy quilting ( which I had never heard of) and I must be a slow learner. When she sent my block back the sides were each different widths and I thought it was a mistake so I trimmed them even. Now ..... I'm sure I am just an insensitive jerk. Have you ever done something you regretted later and had to face the music? I really must be stupid too because she explained wonky and hoochy but just didn't see how this was what she meant by that. Three days later I woke up and had an ephinany ( don't you hate when that happens too late?) I think she was creating a inward box that would have drawn the eye to the center of the quilt, which I let her know would have been brilliant but I have just never played with quilting the way this is turning out to be. I have pretty much always had a pattern or created one and followed the plan and am struggling with the not having control over the process. I even told Sharon that I was up for anything but when anything happened I didn't realize that I was to just go with the flow like I said I would. Stupid, stupid, stupid....I can't kick my bootie enough!!! I hope she can forgive my brainless act and just know that I am happy with the result even if she isn't. I know I probably ruined her whole plan in one stupid move. For that I am very sorry. Here is a pic of the block after I added the next round. I love the colors she added and am having fun with the block. She has taught me something though, her hoochy stuff is a lot about story quilts so I have chosen to continue the scene out into my surrounding borders.
I can't wait for her to see what I did to her block. I LOVE how it turned out and hope she does too but I'm going to make her wait to see it until she gets it in the mail. She is using the ghastlies in her block and it is going to be fantastic when it is done. I am already thinking I should be making me one to match hers. Don't you just love the ghastlies! Maybe I'm related to them since I seemed to have done something so ghastlie and now I kind of look like them :( YIKES!!! Sorry Partner

X-ray reveals that starving senior dog ate rocks after being left behind by his family
Good heavens, this is going to kick your feel factory into gear this morning.
And by "feel factory" we mean the anatomical location where your emotions originate – clearly, we're not doctors so we're not going to specify.
Suffice to say, you're going to experience a bunch of emotions while reading this yarn, so please prepare yourself.
It comes from the folk at Hope for Paws, a Californian organisation that helps get dogs off the street and into foster care.
The video is about Stewie, a homeless senior dog who was found wondering the streets.
WATCH MORE: Dog rescued after being left behind when family moved
According to Hope for Paws, neighbours said the 11-year-old was left behind by his family who had moved away a year before volunteers came for him.
He hung around, just waiting for them to come back.
[Via Paramount Pictures]
Volunteers Lisa Aturo and JoAnn Wiltz rocked up to take him to foster care, but they had a hard job convincing the timid old fella to trust them.
Even the allure of a hot chook was less powerful than his fear.
But eventually, they managed to catch up and put in their car.
The pair took Stewie to have a bath and be looked at by a veterinarian and the story took an even sadder turn.
Yep, it turns out there's something even sadder than a dog waiting for months on end for his family to come back.
Stewie's body was dotted with benign tumours and x-rays revealed he has rocks in his stomach.
Volunteers believe he may have eaten the rocks because he was so hungry.
[Via Warner Bros]
WATCH MORE: Dude picks the worst moment to propose to 'coasterphobic' girlfriend
Video of this sad discovery was posted to the Hope For Paws - Official Rescue Channel on YouTube, with the clip chalking up more than 370,00 views since Saturday.
"Who tf is cutting onions ?" YouTuber Addre wrote.
"When I saw the x-ray of the rocks inside him I cried," wordreet said.
"I may be a big ol' guy and 64 years old, but some things are hard to bear."
But don't worry, Stewie isn't on his own anymore.
He was taken to the Grand Paws Senior Sanctuary and is doing much better in foster care.
According to the website he's still waiting to be adopted.
But with such an outpouring of love from people online, we reckon it won't be long until he is given a new home.

This novel set in the mid 1950s talks about the story of 26 year old Jean Louise Finch who is visiting her old father after years of living in the New York city. If you've read Harper Lee's previous best selling novel To Kill a Mockingbird, you will be able to revisit several of its iconic characters back in this novel. Go Set a Watchman brings us the story of this young woman who takes on the journey where she gets to know many disturbing facts about the people closest to her and her closely knit family. On returning home, many of Jean's childhood memories flood back to her and everything she believed in – her assumptions, her values are thrown into doubt. This bittersweet tale happens on the backdrop of the then rampant civil rights tensions as well as the big political turmoil.
What the reader will love most about this novel is its balance of a variety of emotions – be it passion or humor or wisdom, and a right mix at that of all those feelings. The best part to top it is that, even though the novel is set in an era from more than sixty years back, it feels very relevant to our present times. In many ways, the book reminded me of the author's earlier masterpiece To Kill a Mockingbird. This is an essential companion to that book and it adds a lot of depth and meaning to its prequel at many levels. I mostly enjoyed the fact that some of my favorite literary characters were reuniting in this book, and reading of their ideals and thoughts years later definitely induced nostalgia. The two books are meant to be read together, for only then do the aligned perspectives make sense and the plot presents itself as rich and enjoyable. But as a standalone novel, I highly doubt I'd have enjoyed it the same as To Kill A Mockingbird (It was a whole different league altogether).
The author succeeds in transferring us to the specified time-zone. The background designed is beautiful. For the characters, as far as Atticus is concerned, I just could not imagine him as anyone else but Gregory Peck, and no matter how many years the plot has skipped since the TKAM story, his is the face that presents itself for his name. As for Scout, my best moments of her is when she's thinking back on her childhood, where she meets some of the primary characters of TKAM like Jem, Dill and Calpurnia, but who have been reduced to bit-roles in this book.
For all it's worth, Go Set A Watchman is a good companion to To Kill a Mockingbird, and definitely a worthwhile read.

Successful brands have always found influencers and celebrities helpful in selling their product. Sometimes brands embed messages hoping to ride the waves of cultural change all the way to the bank. But when the winds change suddenly, how a brand navigates the wave impacts its survival.
Chicago Booth Alumni Club's Strategy Management Practices Issues Group (SMPIG) lively discussion in February took up this topic. Using a few curated articles about L'Oréal and its recent controversy (list at the bottom of the post), the focused conversation increased awareness and generated a series of leadership tips.
Marketing science professor Byron Sharp, in How Brands Grow (2010) found that brands which align themselves to people's special interests may strengthen loyalty but do not gain more buyers. American Marketing Association 2015 data supported Sharp's research. Growth occurred in only 47% of the 200 fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) categories tracked by the Kantar World Panel in 39 countries—representing 76% of global GDP. Within that minority, 79% grew because they gained buyers. Among the declining brands, 84% fell because they lost shoppers.
"Niche brands are not niche; they are just small brands with customer bases that are few in number… Big brands are big because they unite a diverse group of consumers with divergent values and preferences."
Cross-cultural success delivers growth, but it proves difficult to strike the right chord, as evident by stories in which well-intentioned international brands have found themselves under the spotlight.
Any time people connect, it's impossible to escape the reality of politics.
The spirit of inclusiveness continues to find new form and embed itself into structures that once bounded cultures and separated people whose beliefs, attitudes and behaviors made them different.
Today, individual differences are celebrated and personal expressions transcend old barriers that preserved collective differences at work, within and across communities, in schools and at home.
Look no further than the increasing love affair with the Avocado. Once a rare treat, the Avocado has gone mainstream, a reality made possible by the opening of public attitudes and legal restrictions around immigration and trade.
The popularity of the Avocado over time serves as an exemplary parallel. The fruit first appeared as an ornamental in North American in the 1830s. Limited immigration from South and Central America centered on fruit growing regions in Florida and California introduced edible varieties, which by 1930 made it the aristocrat of salad to eaters in the know. In 1965, the passage of the Immigration and Naturalization Act brought a surge of Latin American immigrants and their deep love for avocados spread to other regions. Similarly, the opening of free trade agreements with South/Central America and Mexico now makes it possible for everyone to enjoy the Avocado. In N. America, annual average consumption is up to 7 pounds.
The Hass avocado is both a great brand success, and an example of how larger realities are blurring once distinct lines that separated political issues and business performance practices.
A politic or political strategy?
Politic, is not just a noun. When used as an adjective, it describes prudence, something having practical wisdom. It is also expedient, such as a plan that modifies and shapes conversation. This intentional language, behavior and attitudes express only what people feel comfortable sharing on an exclusive basis among present company. Think of it as a test for emotional intelligence in action.
In 2018, politics–the noun, crops up everywhere. Few conversations or experiences remain exclusive. Nothing remains immune from factional charges seeking greater influence in governmental affairs, and in changing wider public attitudes and actions.
The conception and use of brand as means to distinguish a product and/or company dates back to the ancient Egyptians who were known to have engaged in livestock branding as early as 2,700 BC.[4] The tangible, symbolic representation of brand differences work on a conceptual level too; and that's why shaping perceptions remains a strategic imperative for marketers.
Marketing strategies designed to produce higher growth and revenue depends on their success engineering positive responses. The practices and methods apply specific scientific approaches to choose language and imagery that appeals to their buyers, and increase the brand's attractiveness to the wider public.
The geographic and generational breadth, speed and low cost frequency in which communications and messages spread in 2018 correspond to the deterioration of privacy and privilege. These effects and consequences apply to companies, their CEOS, their boards, and their cultures, which all face higher scrutiny fueled by their own communications designed to grow collective expectations.
In other words, some brands managed to step into the mess of their own making. Other brands chose passivity and neutrality expected the approach would spare them from downside effects of wider change in public sentiment, attitudes and sensibilities.
In 2010, Target discovered the downside of transparency, when its donation to an anti-gay political action campaign set off culture wars and boycotts. Missing this lesson, Chick-Fil-A CEO Dan Cathy grabbed national news headlines in 2012, when he took a public stance against Gay marriage.
Numerous brands, regardless of their size, geography, industry or culture find themselves in uncomfortable positions following actions that in previous eras would have never remained in the public eye for long.
Changing Accountability
The more successful a firm brands its products, and communications from the CEO remain consistent, it becomes impossible to separate the actions and statements of individuals' personal views and behavior from the firm and its brand. This applies to CEOs as well as employees.
Who decides what's ok for who, and does the situation, or the location matter?
Following the 2017 US Presidential Inauguration, an atmosphere of hyper political correctness seems to have taken hold of the public consciousness, not just in the US but globally too. Traditional news and social media reports reveal the extent of this open grab for the nation's moral compass and associated fight to steer the nation's attitudes, policies, local and global image.
CEOs similarly find themselves pondering their responsibilities as both brand ambassador and revenue growth leader.
For a founder, the cultural tone and values of the firm tend to align naturally. Best when this occurs intentionally rather than as an afterthought, or footnote. What about hired or successor CEOs, should the board and/or new CEO consider alignment of personal values, politics with those of the firm a necessity?
The politically charged atmosphere and volatility of public sentiment may be a more recent consideration, but so too are the growing demands around transparency and consistency of management decisions across business functions as they consider issues ranging from diversity, personal rights, tolerance for differences, the environment and social impact issues.
Edelman's 2018 Trust barometer Executive Summary expresses the challenge nicely:
"There are new expectations of corporate leaders. Nearly 7 in 10 respondents say that building trust is the No. 1 job for CEOs, ahead of high-quality products and services. Nearly two-thirds say they want CEOs to take the lead on policy change instead of waiting for government, which now ranks significantly below business in trust in most markets."
Neutrality no longer an option?
In 2016, Fortune magazine questioned Apple's politics as harmful to its brand. Put another way, expectations rise in step with your product's prominence and success.
Do they also create a reason or expectation for the firm to step up and speak out? Steve Jobs may have been reticent when it came to politics, but then he led in an era that was considerably less connected, public opinion around social issues more stable and corporate business scrutinized under the narrow lens of shareholder returns.
Hiring practices, corporate benefits and environmental concerns are now very much in the spotlight thanks to changes in government regulations nationally and internationally that set new accountability standards.
As Tim Cook realized, international firms can't continue to grow and expand globally without assuming social responsibilities. The trick has been trying to steer clear of the political debates as they unfold on the national stage. Silicon Valley firms who historically had increased their Washington-based
Lobbying presence to secure special immigration privileges for their work force, suddenly found themselves caught up in the broader unsettled issue on illegal immigrants.
Yes, your actions once you begin to take them always open the door and give license to other actors who build on those actions. Its folly to believe that your strategic plans or tactical plans can ignore politics of the emotional intelligence or public faction variety.
The NFL continues to find its viewership declining, perhaps a bit more steeply than the steady fall off that resulted from over saturation and exposure to a shrinking television audience. What happened in this past season however shows the poor judgment of its leaders to think through the consequences of actions undertaken several seasons back.
Politics are not a new feature of Sporting events, historically they all begin with the national anthem. The additional tributes to veterans and subsequent requirement that players appear on the field opened the door and made it easier for individual players to make statements of their own choosing. Whether this means changing personal appearance- hair, visible tattoos—or public displays of affection, social/civic endorsements or politics. The absence of a microphone didn't dim the spotlight and allowed them a more creative means of expression that they considered respectful, but raised considerable debate and put the brand in the uncomfortable position at the heart of the controversy.
Lessons from L'Oréal's playbook
International brands constantly struggle to resolve the inherent tension between local attitudes, resources and cultural norms and the cost benefits available by greater integration at the global level.
It's easy to get the balance wrong, especially as local conditions and authorities predetermine standards and needs. The French cosmetics giant L'Oréal seems to defy the odds with a portfolio of brands from many cultures to become the uncontested world leader in skincare, makeup, hair color and a close 2nd to P&G in hair care worldwide. Key to their standing and success is multicultural mastery, at least that was the conclusion by Hae-Jung Hong and Yves Doz who shared their assessment in HBR, June 2013.
L'Oréal business challenges are not atypical for a global portfolio of internationally known brands. Their management approach and success is exceedingly mindful. As successful symbols of fashion and sophistication, the brand must simultaneously appeal to the idealized self-image of customers and remain responsive to local tastes without undermining the global image. Their solution was to overcome their local mentality and sensibilities by hiring executives from mixed cultural backgrounds to fill over a third of L'Oréal's product development teams. These lifelong experiences navigating cultural complexities give them a leg up into senior management roles where their cross-cultural communications and adaptation skills prove invaluable.
The choice to hire Amena Kahn, was an intentional outreach effort and demonstration of inclusiveness to the Muslim world and initially met with great acclaim. That is, until revelations that their new hijab wearing Beauty ambassador had posted Anti-Semitic statements in social media in 2014. Management acted swiftly to manage the risk with efficiency. They quickly moved to replace her and apologize to an array of concerned constituents across multiple channels.
In short, L'Oréal was prepared and aware that their willingness to push into the politically charged social issues comes with considerable risks, which they seem to manage with great deftness.
L'Oréal proves the adage that rewards only come to risk takers, the trick is they are better prepared for the messiness of cross cultural battle.
Key Management Lessons
- Knowing your strengths and capabilities are key pillars to your strategy. Can't be all things to all people, at the very least you need to be authentic to be true.
- Know that you will make mistakes and prepare the multi-layered responses.
- Before moving forward, recognize that there's always a chance your marketing may offend people. Assess the benefits in light of these costs.
- All brands have strategies, the question to ask is how they connect to the wider business strategy and proceed accordingly.
- When dealing with politics, whether internal or external, the approach must be intentional, neutrality better than passivity.
- Think what the enemy or counter charges might do to harm your brand.

I was looking through a few images the other day and noticed the RAW images from my Canon G10 looked less sharp than those taken with my Canon 750IS. I was a bit concerned as it had recently been repaired.
The reason for this did not occur to me at time , so I decided to do an experiment, which taught me a couple of interesting things about the camera.

View of the E. face of the Fortress, Gooty, with a key attached
Artist: Fraser, Thomas (1776-1823)
Medium: Watercolour
Date: 1802
Water-colour painting of the east face of the fortress of Gooty, with a key attached by Thomas Fraser (1776-1823) c.1802. Inscribed on the front in ink is: 'View of the East Face of the Fortress of Gooty taken from a Rocky Bank about 2 miles distant. T. Fraser. Engr.'; and on the back in ink: 'C.No.15. Gootty.'
The town of Gooty in Andhra Pradesh is surrounded by a circle of rocky hills, on the highest of which stands the fort, 301 metres (989 feet) above the plain. It is approached by a path which winds its way up the steep sides of the rock to the citadel on the summit. The fort, built between 1509 and 1530, was once the stronghold of Murari Rao, a famous Mahratha warrior and ally of the British who joined Robert Clive at Arcot in 1751. The ruler of Mysore, Haidar Ali (c. 1722-1782) seized the fort in 1776 however in the Mysore campaign of 1799 it fell to the British.

Westwind International Folk Ensemble
DANCE ORIGIN: Turkey
The legendary Black Sea, to the north of Turkey, is an inland sea that is also surrounded by Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Russia and Georgia, and which connects to the Mediterranean Sea. Its name in Turkish, Kara Deniz, denotes the color of its deep algae-rich waters. This name also refers to an ancient way of assigning colors to the direction of the compass, with black denoting north, and red signifying south.
The Black Sea region has an abundant folk music and dance tradition that is only recently being revived. Many folk dances are danced in celebration of social events, holidays and weddings and serve to pass on customs from one generation to the next.
The most renowned dance style of the Black Sea region is the horon derived from the ancient koron-horon dance. There are over fifty variants of the horon, all which require exceptional speed, agility and skill. The name of the dance is derived from the word horom which refers to the lattice form of several corn stalks woven together. It is generally danced in a line or semi-circle by a chain of men or women who imitate the turbulent waters of the Black Sea through their rhythmic footwork and shoulder shimmies. Their unusual style of raised arms and characteristic tense quivering movements represent the struggling fish gathered by fishermen.
Originally founded in Los Angeles in 1959 as the Folk Chorus, the ensemble was reformed in San Francisco as Westwind International Folk Ensemble in 1966. The company is dedicated to the preservation of authentic folk dance and music traditions from around the world, with a unique emphasis on researching and accurately representing cultural context.
TITLE OF PIECE: Karedeniz-Black
The version of horon performed by Westwind is an innovative piece from the contemporary Turkish choreographer, Ahmet Luleci. Using modern music and dance arrangements, it draws on the traditional style, energy and attitude of the people of the region. The dance is accompanied by the kemence, a three-stringed bowed instrument made of horsehair whose sound is made by the tightening and releasing of the hair.
