Peniche and Baleal have long been among the best surf spots in Europe. The constantly breaking waves and the peninsula located far in the ocean provide the best exercises for surfers of every level of performance. The accommodation is located just 50 meters from the beach which means the spot check is right on your doorstep.
Within a few minutes, you can reach several surf spots, which the Soul Surfcamp Portugal uses for surfing lessons, but also offer great waves for advanced surfers. The nearby surf shops provide the necessary equipment needed. Right at the Cantinho Da Baia and Lagide beaches, you'll find numerous bars, bistros and restaurants to hang out and relax at, unwind and party.
Peniche is located on a peninsula, which is characterized by a high cliff that slopes gently down to the sea in the harbor area and at the northern end. At Cabo Carvoeiro, the westernmost point of the peninsula, there is a beautiful old lighthouse where you can see the island group of the Berlengas lying in the ocean. A path of steps leads from the coastal road to the cave Gruta da Furninha.
Because of its tubular long-lasting waves and its sandy subsoil Supertubos is one of the best surf spots in Europe, especially as the walls of the harbor offer protection against the disturbing north wind. Also in the north: a fine sandy bay stretches over 5 km to Baleal, where many surfers can be found. A fact completely unknown to many: the three bays and a lagoon nearby are perfect for windsurfing and kitesurfing. You can find both shallow water and waves, Baleal and Peniche offer both!

Only 49 out of the UK's top 100 charities disclose the pay of their chief executive, according to research published this week by Charity Finance magazine.
The research found that only 16 gave salary details for their full management team, and only nine disclosed salary details on their website.
The rest disclosed the salaries of highest paid individuals in bands, without saying who those individuals were.
Seventeen charities did not even disclose the names of the senior management team.
Charities begin to reveal pay ratios
The survey also found that 15 charities reveal their pay ratios. Four disclose the ratio of the lowest paid staff member to the highest, while 14 compare the highest earner with the median salary across the organisation.
The National Trust has a highest-to-median ratio of 10:1, the greatest disparity among those making disclosures. Unicef had the smallest pay gap, with a 1.9:1 median ratio.

Nasty piece of Android malware monitors texts, browser history and banking information
There's a new piece of nasty Android malware floating around that Android users should be on the lookout for. Masquerading as a update for Google's mobile Chrome browser, the malware is hosted on webpages designed to look like they are official Google or Android landing pages.
Originally spotted by the security firm Zscaler, the malware is designed to monitor call logs, browser history, text messages and banking information. Once installed, the malware logs the aforementioned data and sends it all back to a remote command and control server. What's more, Zscaler notes that the malware is capable of checking if a user has any antivirus apps installed, and if so, "terminating them to evade detection."
So while user's should be extra vigilant about this malware, we should note that installation can only occur if a user turns off a default Android setting which prevents…

Ancient Rivals Princeton & Yale Set For 139th Showdown Saturday Afternoon
Published on GoPrincetonTigers.com | Read the full article here
One of the oldest rivalries in all of college football will resume Saturday afternoon at the Yale Bowl, and Princeton will have plenty on the line that day.
What that plenty is — playing for first place or playing to stay alive in the Ivy race — will be determined one night earlier, but the Tigers can't worry about that. After all, it's been two years since Princeton has claimed a win over its oldest rival, and that is more than enough motivation to sustain a Tiger squad coming off one of its most impressive performances in a decade.

Lights, Camera, Action
Saturday's Ivy League showdown at the Yale Bowl (12:30 pm) will be streamed live on the Ivy League Digital Network. You can also listen live to Cody Chrusciel and Dave Giancola on WPRB 103.3 FM and the TuneIn app.
Old Rivals
Saturday's showdown at the Yale Bowl will be the 139th meeting between the two historic Ivy League powers. The Princeton-Yale series ranks second in games played among all active college football rivalries; only Lehigh-Lafayette (151) has been played more times. Yale leads the all-time rivalry 76-52-10, including a 28-21 advantage at the Yale Bowl. Yale has also had the better of the recent rivalry; the Bulldogs have won 10 of the last 14 meetings, including each of the last two.
The Amazing Race
Princeton stayed alive in the Ivy League race last weekend with an impressive 28-0 win over Penn on Powers Field at Princeton Stadium. The victory was Princeton's first November win over a previously Ivy-unbeaten team since the Tigers' 34-31 at the Yale Bowl ten years ago, which helped the Tigers' earn their ninth Ivy League title.
Princeton will have a much cleared understanding of where it stands in the Ivy League race when it takes the field Saturday afternoon. Harvard is currently alone atop the Ivy standings with a 5-0 mark, while both Princeton and Penn are 4-1. Harvard travels to Penn for a Friday night game Nov. 11; if Penn and Princeton both win this week, all three teams will head into the final weekend tied atop the league and with a chance to win one game for at least a share of the Ivy title.
That Winning Feeling
The win over Penn clinches Princeton's second winning season this decade, and its fourth since 1998; the Tigers, however, haven't had a losing season since 2011 — besides the 8-2 Ivy championship season in 2013, the Tigers went 5-5 in 2012, 2014, and 2015. With two more wins, the Class of 2017 can become the winningest class at Princeton in more than two decades. The Tigers would have 26 victories, the most since the Class of 1997. The Class of 1996 won 31 games.
Getting Defensive
Princeton posted its first shutout since Week 5 of the 2012 season last weekend when it held Penn — the Ivy League's second-ranked scoring offense at the time — off the scoreboard last Saturday in a 28-0 win.
Rank and File
Princeton currently ranks first in the Ivy League in scoring defense (17.5), second in total defense (325.1), and first in rushing defense (88.0). Last year, Princeton ranked fourth (23.7), eighth (430.2), and seventh (158.6) in the Ivy League in those respective categories.
Princeton's rushing defense, which allows only 88 yards per game, ranks seventh in the FCS. The Tigers are allowing only 2.64 yards per carry and have given up only six rushing touchdowns, half of which came over the first two games of the season.
Finishing Strong
Princeton has not allowed a single second-half touchdown in a game within 30 points at any point during the Ivy League season, and it has allowed only one field goal during that stretch.
Right Turn
Princeton has forced 20 turnovers this season, most in the Ivy League, and it leads the Ivy League with a +11 turnover margin. It is averaging a +1.38 turnover margin this season, which ranks fifth in the FCS.
Gales Warning
After not recording an interception in the first 35 games of his collegiate career, senior cornerback James Gales has picked off a pass in each of Princeton's last three games, the longest such stretch in moreº than a decade. Gales, who also ranks fourth on the team with 33 tackles, recorded all three interceptions in Princeton territory, including a third-quarter pick in the red zone last weekend to keep Penn off the scoreboard.
Tackling The Issue
Due to its team defense mentality and its ability to get off the field on third downs, Princeton doesn't have a single player in the Ivy League Top 9 in tackles. However, two of its top three had big efforts in the 2015 game against Yale. Luke Catarius (currently 10th in the Ivy League with 60 stops) and four-year starter Dorian Williams (250 career tackles) both had career-best 15 stops in the 35-28 home loss to Yale last year.
On The Record
John Lovett is making a run at Keith Elias' program record of 19 rushing touchdowns. The junior quarterback, who has rushed for at least one touchdown in ever game this season, needs four over the last two games to tie the mark. Ironically, the last Tiger player to make a run at that record was also a Princeton quarterback; Quinn Epperly rushed for 18 touchdowns during the 2013 Ivy championship season.
Lovett, who didn't play in the final three games last season due to injury, is averaging 2.1 rushing touchdowns per game over his last 11 games.
Seventh Heaven
Princeton got a record-setting performance from John Lovett two weeks ago at Cornell. Lovett accounted for seven touchdowns in the 56-7 win; he threw for four touchdowns, rushed for two and caught his first touchdown pass of the season. He now leads the NCAA FCS with 15 rushing touchdowns, and he has accounted for 25 (15 rush, 9 pass, 1 receiving) on the season.
Passing Fancy
Senior Chad Kanoff moved into eighth place on Princeton's all-time passing list last weekend when he threw for 160 yards in the Tigers. He currently has 3,703, and he has an outside chance of moving into the Top 5 this weekend.
|Tommy Wornham, 2008-11
|Kanoff needs 309 to tie
|Connor Michelsen, 2011-14
|Kanoff needs 223 to tie
|Quinn Epperly, 2011-14
|Kanoff needs 154 to tie
Spreading The Love
Sixteen different Princeton players have caught at least one pass this season, and eight have caught at least 10. The Tigers' top receiver this season has been Isaiah Barnes, who ranks fourth in the Ivy League in receiving yards (62.0) and eighth in receptions per game (3.8).
Barnes, who caught a 95-yard touchdown pass two weeks ago at Cornell, had one of his best days last season against Yale. He caught six passes for 151 yards and two touchdowns, including a leaping 53-yard touchdown catch down the right sideline.
Great Scott
Scott Carpenter was named a semifinalist for the prestigious William V. Campbell Trophy, one of the top scholar-athlete honors in college football. Candidates for the award must be a senior or graduate student in their final year of eligibility, have a GPA of at least 3.2 on a 4.0 scale, have outstanding football ability as a first-team player or significant contributor and have demonstrated strong leadership and citizenship. The class is selected each year by the NFF Awards Committee, which is comprised of a nationally recognized group of media, College Football Hall of Famers and athletics administrators.
With Honors
Andrew Griffin, a wide receiver from Avon, Ind., and John Orr, a linebacker from Nashville, Tenn., are two of the five recipients — from a pool of more than 1.1 million high school football players — of the prestigious 2016 NFF National High School Scholar-Athlete Awards. Each of the five recipients is selected as the best of the best from his region of the country at the high school level. The five honorees, who are now playing college football after graduating high school in 2016, are being recognized solely for their accomplishments in high school.
Princeton is the only school to have multiple honorees of a 2016 National Scholar-Athlete Award, and it is the only Ivy League school to have an honoree. Among the other schools honored are Stanford and Michigan.
Coach Speak
Head coach Bob Surace is one of two men to win an Ivy League championship as both a player (1989) and a head coach (2013). He was named a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Jr. Head Coach of the Year Award following the 2013 season.
Working Sundays
Mike Catapano '13, Caraun Reid '14, and Seth DeValve '16 are each on NFL rosters this season, marking the first time three drafted Princeton players have all been on NFL rosters for the same weekend since the 1980s. Reid, who was recently put on the injured reserve by the San Diego Chargers, returned a fumble for a touchdown this season, while DeValve made his first career catch two weeks ago.
Home Sweet Home
Princeton will play its home finale Saturday, Nov. 19, at 1:30 against the Dartmouth Big Green in a game televised on One World Sports and streamed live on the Ivy League Digital Network. Prior to the game, Princeton will honor the Class of 2016, which will graduate with four seasons of .500 or above football, including the 2013 Ivy League championship season.
You can purchase tickets for the game on GoPrincetonTigers.com or by calling 609-258-4TIX.

Community gardening, interviews and delivering nourishment to food deserts are all part of the curriculum.
(This article by Shirley Jinkins originally appeared in the Fall 2017 issue of "TCU Magazine.")
Dave Aftandilian teaches a popular elective each spring. The 23 course slots fill up fast with students in a range of majors, and there is always a waiting list.
With a lengthy name in previous course catalogs, ANTH 30663 is now just called Food Justice. Aftandilian, associate professor of anthropology, designed the class for students to explore food needs and work on solutions to alleviate hunger on local and global scales.
Katherine "Katey" Rudd '09 came to Texas from Connecticut in 2005. Her goal was to earn a degree in nutritional science, then work as a clinical dietitian. But her experience as the community garden program coordinator for the Tarrant Area Food Bank took her career in a different direction. "The genesis of my interest in this came from Dave's Food Justice class," she said. "It was very motivating for me. It changed my life."
The course introduced Rudd to the gut-wrenching reality of "food insecurity," a term used to describe people who are hungry and often don't know where their next meal is coming from.
Food insecurity is on the rise and affects adults and children in low-income working families, older people who find themselves without the money to get by after medical bills are paid, and middle-income workers who lose jobs or have expensive health crises.
Fort Worth-based Tarrant Area Food Bank, which services 270 community partner agencies — including dozens of food pantries — in 13 counties, has seen a steady increase in the need for food assistance in North Texas.
"It's not necessarily always dramatic, but it trends upward over time," said Micheline Hynes, nutrition services manager at the food bank. "One of those things that people don't quite understand is the majority of food bank clients are working families, with one or more jobs per person, and they're just having trouble making ends meet."
Community gardens, mobile fresh grocers, even neighborhood vegetable carts can help alleviate hunger in urban and rural neighborhoods. But Aftandilian said it takes a village to help such projects take root and flourish.

The Grass On The Other Side Of 8 Million Hooves
All of us have the age old adage the grass is greener on the other side. Some people spend their entire lives searching in vain for the greener grass. Here at the Serengeti 2 million animals, 8 million hooves, walk, run and die in the search greener pastures. Those who survive the harsh 1,000km walk do find these pastures.
The wildebeest migration is nothing short of a wonder of the world. They walk year after year along the same route as taken by their ancestors more than 2 million years ago. It is ingrained in their very being. Watching these 45km long lines of animals doing all they can to survive is indeed an awe inspiring experience.
You can take a jeep safari and follow these creatures for a few hundred kilometres of their journey or if you the adventurous type you can even walk and live wild in the Serengeti.
The wildebeests are not the only thing to see here, like else where in Africa there are also the Big Five for your viewing pleasure. And if you are lucky your alarm clock might just be a lion's roar.
Are you game?

I went up to Crystal Mountain (race HQ) the day before the race and planned on camping out with other runners that night. When I stepped out of the car at the resort, I was overwhelmed by the smell of the evergreen trees. It reminded me of Christmas. I've never had such an overwhelming scent of evergreen in the outdoors. It was awesome! I collected my race schwag and started to head to the car. A very kind gentleman came up to me and said "hey, you look like a good runner." I was flattered, that's about the best thing a woman runner can hear! He and I started chatting, I told him about my upcoming 100 and he started giving me some great advice. Eventually it occurred to me I didn't know this man's name. When I asked he nonchalantly said "David." I continued to talk his ear off and soak up his advice for this race as well as the 100. I really started to wonder who this guy was and I made a joke that he was probably the race director and I didn't even know it. (a peril of being an ultra newbie and also new to the area) Then he told me a few things about himself and I realized I was talking to DAVID HORTON! OMG! I almost fell over. I am a HUGE fan and I couldn't believe I was standing there talking to him! I unabashedly became a total "fan" at this point and asked if I could take a picture with him. I know it's cheesy, but I was in the presence of greatness! David and I spoke several times over the weekend and I couldn't be more blessed to have met such a humble and wonderful runner. I hope he will allow me to continue to learn from him as I develop my ultrarunning skills.Race morning came early – with a clear sky that was barely beginning to change color when I woke at 4:35. I opted for the early start because I knew I wouldn't be sleeping very well in my tent. (and I wasn't) I also planned on taking the race nice and easy… fueling myself well and focusing on running strong and controlled the whole way. I wanted to finish knowing I could go twice that far in a few short weeks. I figured the early start would get me going and help me get home (a 2 hour drive) afterwards at a decent hour. The race basically consists of 2 huge climbs – and two huge descents. I think about 10 miles of the course is rolling – the rest is either up or down. The course offers close to 9,000 feet of climbing and equal descent, so it's not for the faint of heart.
The race itself went well. I stuck to my race plan of running conservatively and staying strong. On the rolling section before the first major climb I ran with several people and chatted the time away. One guy didn't want to pass me because I was "his rabbit," which I thought was pretty funny. My friend, Josh, warned me about the first climb and said it was steep. So when the climb started in earnest I made sure to walk when necessary and stay within myself. One section was particularly steep early on and it really made me wonder whether the whole climb was going to be like this. That extra steep section ended with a staircase of the steepest steps I've ever seen. The climb went on for about 10 miles total, but the worst of it was definitely that first section. My stomach was a little upset for this climb, but I was able to cope with it fairly well. Towards the top of the climb we were treated to amazing views of Mt. Rainier and as I said out loud several times "This is why I run mountains!" Traveling along the ridge was cool – lots of great views of Rainier as well as the airstrip below where we'd started. (I couldn't believe how high up we'd come)Shortly after the major climbing had ended, we began this out-and-back section to Corral Pass. This is where we encountered snow on the course. I was worried about the snow, but it really wasn't too bad in the end. Mostly because the race director saw to it that the section got some attention pre-race. Volunteers had shoveled large steps into the snow and even laid out some ropes for us along the steeper sections. It made for pretty smooth going. Having people coming at you was a little challenging at times, but ultra folks are very patient and we all know how to yield. It works out okay if you're just patient. And it was really fun to see the leaders! After this section we had about 8 miles of downhill. That was fun! I am still working on my downhill skills and this was a great test.
After the first big climb and descent the course comes back to the starting area before heading out for the second major climb. I was at the aid station at Buck Creek with several of the female leaders, including Krissy Moehl. That was awesome! Doing the early start gave me a good advantage during the whole race. Since I constantly had people passing me who were faster than me, I had great bait to pull me along. I'd try to stay with the faster runner for a while before they left me. I found this really helped me during the second climb to Suntop. I also met a guy named Zach who ran with me up Suntop and down to the finish. He was doing his first ultra and his first trail race and was great company. I ran this second half of the course in a training run (see earlier post), so I was able to help Zach know what was coming and when we could expect to reach certain spots. It was a big mental boost to know the course like I did and I'm convinced that I need to go and run the end of Cascade Crest so I have that confidence in the 100 as well.The race finishes up with a 6 mile downhill followed by a 6 mile stretch of rolling trail along the river. I felt strong and was happily revising my projected finish time as I went along. My thoughts were interrupted along this trail once by a mountain biker warning me of bears ahead. Bears? He said "Yep, there are 3 of them." Yikes. The last thing you want to hear at mile 47 of a 50 mile race is that there are bears coming up. That said, I was still excited – I've never seen a bear before in the wild! I did see one black bear – I think it was an adolescent because it wasn't huge but it wasn't a cub. He was climbing the hillside and traversing fallen trees when I saw him. He looked at me and then kept on climbing. We were both happy to continue on our way. I looked for others but didn't see them. But still, I saw a bear! Exciting!
In the end, I finished in 10:22. My son's birthday is 10/22, so it's a fine time by me. I was the 13th woman. Not bad for a challenging race I didn't rest for and ran on tired legs. When it comes right down to it – I love pushing my body and proving to my mind that barriers do not exist. I love living in the moment on the trails – the great things in life keep you going and everything else melts away. Ultras have become my "running party" – and I can't wait for the next one.

Then why is everybody and his brother crucifying the 80 year-old media mogul like he's the devil incarnate? Why have they all but dug his grave and shoved him in it?
And why are so many overhyping the effect the UK-based scandal will have on the $32 billion public company Murdoch grew from a single Australian newspaper, a company that employs 50,000 people?
Even if you've been living under a rock, you couldn't possibly escape the media hype over this scandal:
- Murdoch Scandal: The Fish Stinks from Head Down
- Murdoch's Fatal Flaw
- The End of Murdoch: How the Phone Hacking Scandal Could Topple the Press Baron
- Murdoch's Watergate Unravels
[Murdoch] gets to hobnob with Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and the like as if he weren't constantly juggling companies and finances to save his life. He is viewed as an elder statesman, when in reality he's the same con man he's always been.He has bought his way to political power in every nation he can. He must be aghast that all the money he's spent on the British government can't shield him from public outrage over spying on a murdered girl's telephone.And that was from a writer / stand-up comedian whose blog is called Fun & Games. Wonder what he's like when he's serious?
Rupert's companies have long been happy to make up the truth as they went along.
So there is justice in seeing Murdoch get whacked over his companies' failings in journalism. It is long overdue and well-earned. It's like Al Capone getting caught for extortion instead of tax fraud.
Here's the thing. I don't know Murdoch from a hole in the wall and I don't know a lot about how he conducts business. But I do know he's been remarkably successful in the highly competitive, challenging, and tumultuous global media market. That's for sure.
Now, don't get me wrong ...
- Do I find the tactics employed by News Corp.'s UK properties that have recently come to light reprehensible and morally repugnant?
- Would I have handled the crisis more aggressively by sacrificing a top exec or two to show I mean business and won't stand for that sort of thing?
- Do I think Murdoch will do that if it means securing his bid for BSkyB?
- Do I think everybody, including the SEC, will pile on and kick the crap out of Murdoch while he's down?
- Do I think this will all eventually blow over without significant damage to Murdoch and News Corp?
So, why all the vitriolic hype, then? Five reasons:
- It's Jealousy. News Corp. has emerged from the media turmoil of the past couple of decades a big winner, and that pisses people off. It drives competitors crazy that he's managed to grow in a shrinking market.
- It's Politics. Not to be obvious, but just about everyone views Murdoch as the "longtime torchbearer for conservative politics," vis-Ã -vis the Fox News network, so the left despise him. The fact that he's at times backed left-leaning candidates, however, seems to escape people.
- It's the culture. In our "convict first, ask questions later" culture, the media falls all over itself rushing to judge Dominique Strauss-Kahn over fabricated rape charges, Navy Capt. Owen Honors who got a raw deal, Sarah Palin over the Gabrielle Giffords shooting, or Toyota over the phantom accelerator pedal crisis.
- It's the Ayn Rand thing. Murdoch is a highly competitive businessman who puts winning ahead of everything in the mold of Ayn Rand. It's really polarizing - you either love that or hate it.
- It's the "fall of the mighty" thing. The left-leaning media really get off on seeing successful business giants in trouble ... unless they're liberals, of course. They just do, like it or not.
UPDATE 7/13/11 8:00 am PST: News Corp. dropped its bid for BSkyB. That was a smart move.

Elon Musk took another step in his quest to dominate commercial space exploration by successfully launching a communications satellite into space.
The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket blasted off from Cape Canaveral in Florida on Tuesday after being postponed two times last week due to technical problems.
Musk tweeted a number of pics of the launch including this spectacular shot.

The launch is highly significant as it only cost £36.6 million, far less than the usual rate.
It was also significant as it was to a much higher orbit than previous launches which restocked the ISS with supplies.
Martin Halliwell, chief technical officer at satellite operator SES, told the BBC: "The entry of SpaceX into the commercial market is a game-changer - it is going to really shake the industry to its roots."
They are competing with Boeing and Sierra Nevada for a lucrative Nasa contract to ferry astronauts to and from the International Space Station.
SpaceX has a busy work schedule ahead with 5o further launches in the pipeline worth £2.44 billion.
Other notable SpaceX achievements include their Grasshopper reusable rocket.
The company is also developing the Falcon Heavy launch system which will be the most powerful rocket in the world and has the potential to take humans to Mars.
Musk also has a few other projects in the pipeline including his rather mysterious Hyperloop Transit System.

My sister and I took them out for a fun little photo shoot around town yesterday. I love all of the old buildings, textured brick walls climbing with vines and moss, and the fall foliage.
Aren't they adorable??
And Tracy is just stunning.

The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has approved a $20 Million US loan to help develop "Barbados Heritage & Culture Tourism". The loan is timely following the UNESCO inclusion of Barbados in its World Heritage Tourism sites.
The UNESCO World Heritage designation applies to Barbados' Bridgetown and Garrison Savannah Area. An area with iconic features such as renowned horse racing at the Savannah, mysterious underground tunnel build by the British military, the house that George Washington stayed in excellent heritage museums, to name just a few. Barbados Heritage & Culture Tourism is very distinctive and unlike any other Caribbean destination in its special blend of indigenous, British, Africa and creole culture, history and heritage.
TravelersInsights (TI) celebrated the award with a full feature Barbados World Heritage Magazine. Heritage and cultural Tourism is a "powerful way to bridge differences, share and contribute." The TI article points out the heritage and culture understanding is healing. It "can change lives and change the world."
IDB, is the leading source of long-term financing for economic, social and institutional development in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The full story is now on Travelers Insights World Heritage Tourism Magazine

Details Of Features & Benefits of the Enhancements
The Barbados Tourism Encyclopedia has created a documentary on the sites actually being enhanced. It explores the heritage & cultural sites that are part of this project, documenting their history and heritage with images and text. It also shows exactly how the sites are being upgraded and what benefits that will have for tourist.
For example the article provides a description of the history and work of the Old Town Hall in Bridgetown, Barbados. It concludes with an outline of how a new visitor center will provide visitors with "guests with fascinating information on the historical and architectural features of this location."
The city walks and urban heritage tourist routes will be enlivened with animated Interpretation and featured point of interest. The work will allow "visitors to enjoy a more engaging, safer, and complete exploration of this magnificent treasure that blends the heritage of many peoples and reflects the ambition and fortitude of them all."
The work will extend to the Museum and to Historic Ositins, where the Charter of Barbados was signed.

a Day in the Life of a 6-Month-Old
after being in a preschool setting for 8 1/2 years of my life, it is ingrained into you to live by a routine. children need routines, routine routine routine! though I do not totally disagree, I do not totally agree. before having a child, you will brainstorm all of these "set in stone" ideas however, once that tiny human is actually here, they will all change. we are very go with the flow type people. though I do try to have noah nap at certain times because I know other wise he starts to get a little over tired, we have things scheduled throughout the week that sometimes hinder nap times or bed times. if he is absolutely not interested in a nap, then we keep playing until he is tired even if that means pushing back bedtime. for me, making memories with him and family time is more important than making him be in bed every night by a specific time.
a typical day for us looks like:
7-7:45 wake up/mama kisses/stories in bed with me
7:45-8 get ready for the day
8-8:30 8oz. bottle
8:30-10 nap time
10-10:30 brunch-pureed fruit and oatmeal
10:30-12 running errands/playtime
12-12:30 8oz. bottle
12:30-1:45 play time
1:45-3 nap time
3-4 play time
4-4:30 8oz bottle
5:45-6:30 bath time
6:30-7 dinner-pureed veggies/fish
7-730 night time routine (stories/songs)
7:30-8 8oz. bottle
8 down for the night
for the most part, this is what our day around here looks like. as I mentioned before, if something comes up or we are out running errands, we do alter the typical day without a worry. we are very lucky and noah is very easy going so altering his schedule to fit into the day at hand is never a big issue.
what is a typical day for you and your little?

The Law Society has warned that a proposal by the Legal Ombudsman to cover complaints about unregulated legal providers could be detrimental to consumers.
In its response to a Legal Ombudsman (LeO) consultation on proposals to widen its remit to cover complaints about unregulated legal service providers and other professionals the Law Society warned that, by extending its remit LeO will cause consumer confusion about who is regulated and who isn't.
The Law Society is concerned that the Legal Ombudsman's effectiveness and efficiency in its core jurisdiction could be affected by taking on the unregulated segment of the legal services market. It currently handles complaints from clients of regulated legal service providers in England and Wales.
The LeO proposals are, in part, a response to a new European directive that will require service providers to have third party complaints handlers.
Law Society President Nicholas Fluck said: "We recognise that the implementation of the alternative dispute resolution (ADR) directive coming from Europe may lead to unregulated providers requiring an ADR provider. However we do not believe it is appropriate to use the Legal Ombudsman's voluntary jurisdiction to provide this due to the adverse effect on their core jurisdiction."
He added: "We also foresee difficulties in the Legal Ombudsman managing a voluntary scheme. Unscrupulous providers may use membership of such a scheme to provide them with legitimacy and allow them to take clients' money before disappearing, leaving the Legal Ombudsman to deal with the complaints. The Legal Ombudsman would be in no position to help clients who had lost money."
Consumers could suffer if legal ombudsman remit is widened

Theresa May has been warned that Tory activists in the country are "downtrodden" and need to see "some vision" if they are to be motivated enough to take on Jeremy Corbyn's Momentum campaigners at the next election.
Tory MP George Freeman, who used to head the party's policy forum and campaigned for Remain at the referendum, said Brexit should be exploited by the liberal Conservatives to "re-turbo" the One Nation tradition in the party.
"So downtrodden are our Conservative activists up and down the country. They need some hope, they need some vision, they need some thanks, they need some support and they need to believe this movement has more than enough heritage, roots, vision, ambition and energy to take on the other Momentum and leave it for dust," the former minister said.
Last year, Freeman warned Brexit could turn Britain into an "old people's home that can't pay for itself". He quit as chair of the party's policy forum in November 2017.
Speaking to members of the One Nation Tory Reform Group [TRG] earlier this week, Freeman, who described himself as an "avowed Cameronite loyalist", said the quality of the Tory MPs elected since 2010 was was a tribute to the former prime minister's leadership.
"I am old enough to have seen a burnt out Conservative party in government. That is not what I see at the moment. I see a Conservative Party bursting with ideas, energy with, talent," he said.
"The biggest tribute to David Cameron's modernisation, the energy of those who come in in 2010, 2015 and 2017. A total change in the zeitgeist of the Conservative movement in parliament."
He added: "If Brexit didn't exist, honestly I think we would be sitting here tonight thinking, if only seven-years in, we could find an event so transformational, so challenging, so change demanding, so reforming, it would create a moment to come together and re-turbo our commitment to One Nation reform.
"Brexit isn't the distraction. It's the moment we stop blaming others, took responsibility, and redoubled our commitment to domestic reform. The exhaustion out there, the yearning for change, can be our greatest ally.
"This is the moment we stop blaming others and grip a 21st century NHS, grip proper policy for housing and a proper policy for the environment - as Michael [Gove] has done."

Say hello to 19-year-old Abagail Blower, Glass Mannequin Productions newest addition. Abigail showed up with her brother but and left with a sore muffy…… but that's what happens when a coed pisses her brother off and he just happens to know about Bring Me Your Sister. Of course, once you've done your first porno vid, you may as well do more and the cute strawberry-sandy from Denver was no exception. I guess that after fucking in front of your own brother fucking in front of other people is much simpler. Here's a pic of Abigail riding my meat – at times it was hard to tell if I was killing her or if she was enjoying it but the little cum dumpster rides a fat meat like none other.
When Abigail and her brother showed up again the next day at Bring Me Your Sister – I figured she can't resist fucking her brother's stuff up or he can't resist filming his sister get grudge fucked-fucked, either way, I fucked the little cunt as her brother filmed us – cumming balls-deep in his sister's teenage muffy – Alison had just made her first creampie vid – download it here.
Abigail called me later that same night asking if it would be possible to make a few clips where her brother didn't get to keep all of the bucks. After a small conversation, we scheduled a Real Colorado Girls set with the herd-bodied Alison Rapture. It was a beautiful summer day so we filmed the babes fuckin in the greenhouse. I'm pretty sure each coed came at least four times and I know I did wanking to Abigail and Alison in Abigail's first carpet-muncher vid – you can do the same by joining any one of my sites – join one and get full access to all three.
The next morning the hard-bodied teen did a few naked pics on my back porch, Alison leaned against the tree, her pierced little nipples erect in the morning air, as the cute coed-next-door rubbed one out in my back yard in what would be her first solo masturbation photo set – coming soon to Glass Mannequin
That night, I invited Abigail and Alison to join myself and Thena Sky at dinner so the babes all got dressed up and we went out for a little fun and some perfect food. Since neither Abigail or Alison are old enough to get in the bars, we came home early and ended up on the couch. My roommate was kind enough to shoot what happened next and now we had Abigail's first orgy vid in the can – coming soon to Glass Mannequin.
I had a perfect time pounding Abigail's tight little muffy – and to tell the truth, she sure knows how to use it. All of her clips are or will soon be posted on our sites so join today and start wanking to Abigail and her girlfriends.

Barcelona: the city with that famous building that hasn't even been fully built yet (Sagrada Familia); home of that painter guy who drew squares and faces and whatnot with a thick brush (Picasso); and location of that super expensive restaurant turned tapas bar (El Bulli turned Tickets) run by that guy who cooks that molecular gastronomy thing like that Heston fella on TV (Ferran Adrià).
Ok, summing up the city in such arbitrary fashion doesn't do Barcelona justice. But I figure that everyone you hear from who has visited the place has already banged on about what a brilliant city it is. It is. It's sick as.
By the time I reached Barcelona on my trip, I was nearing the end of my bank account. But that's the other great thing about Barcelona, you don't have to spend much at all to enjoy the place. Although granted, you can spend a shit tonne of money and also enjoy it too. But choose the right days and the museo's are free, most of the major sites are free to enter, bike hire is easy and doesn't cost that much, and most importantly the vino costs 2 euro for the bottle. Bam, cheap holiday.
In my scroogey budget tour of Barcelona, I found this fantastic little seafood restaurant Can Maño. It was 7:50pm, and the restaurant opened at 8pm and already there was a hungry queue stretching down the road. At 8pm the doors flew open and the queue poured into this tiny, wood panelled, fluorescent lit restaurant. The tables were covered in plastic, each seat had a paper placemat that said "Good Appetite". A little man walked around handing out food stained paper menus. This was certainly budget life.
So everything on the menu is under 10 euro. The menu offers no explanation. You choose your sea animal of choice, such as mackerel, sardines, prawns, squit [sic], red mullet, cuttlefish etc, whatever appears out of the ocean that day. They either grill it, or fry it, the choice is not up to you if you don't know Spanish. They slap it onto a white plate and it appears in front of you with a quiet grunt from the waiter. I don't know what they do, but this shit was off the hook. Zero presentation, 100% good taste. Pair it up fried capsicum or aubergine sides, a cheap glass of house wine and you have yourself a crazy good meal that reflects the effortless vibrancy of the Catalan capital. Good times.

Jordan A. Thomas used to work in capacity as an Assistant Director. He was also Assistant Chief Litigation Counsel. Both of these offices were held down by Thomas in the SEC, specifically the Division of Enforcement. While in this position, Thomas drafted legislation that would eventually become known as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
This act has been labeled by many as one of the most expansive in the history of the United States; at least since the Great Depression. And it should be, the Great Recession of 2008 is starting to impact the entire country now, just like waves spread incrementally from the center of an impact and thence proceed to higher values of fluctuation before settling again. Jordan A. Thomas wants to see things settle again, so proceeding the 2008 crisis, he wrote the legislation that was enacted in 2010, and immediately began to lead a legal practice called Labaton Sucharow.
Labaton Sucharow specializes in Whistleblower Representation, and was the first to do so after the Dodd-Frank Reform came into effect. Through Dodd-Frank, whistleblowers do not have to fear the loss of their job. The legislation protects their employment status, and ensures that they'll be able to continue functioning within their corporate enterprise without facing recriminations. Additionally, Dodd-Frank provides incentives. Specifically, between ten and thirty percent of recovered monetary sanctions will be given to whistleblowers. There are more available incentives available, provided additional sanctions are recovered. The ten to thirty percent spread indicates some room for negotiation as well, demonstrating just how well Jordan A. Thomas understands the situation.
Finally, for those who must retain their anonymity, such a thing is possible through Labaton Sucharow. When you contact them for an initial consultation, you need not provide your name–though this is strongly advised. Such consultations are cost-free, as an initial consultation should be. Anonymity can continue throughout the case, though it is possible whistleblowers will become known to the attorneys.
Sometimes remaining anonymous in the dispensation of information to government agencies is the only way to remain on good terms with any of the employees that such individuals work with on a daily basis. It's very difficult to continue working at the same wages when everybody in the office becomes hateful against the person who reported unethical practices. This can happen. Legal representation is the only way to ensure any level of anonymity.

READY TO State's new fireworks law has retailers predicting their sales will skyrocket
Indiana's fireworks industry officials say their business is about to explode faster than a gas-soaked cherry bomb, thanks to a new law that makes it legal to ignite bottle rockets and Roman candles in back yards. And best of all for retailers, the law makes it almost impossible for new competition to get a piece of the action.
"I'm going to sell more stuff," said Elizabeth Howard, owner of Indianapolis-based Celebration Fireworks, one of the state's largest retailers. "I'm going to get people who used to buy a little come in and get a lot."
The industry already sells $60 million worth of novelties such as Black Cats annually, according to the Indiana Fireworks Distributors Association.
"We estimate this change in statute will [result in] about a 15 [percent] to 20 percent increase in consumer fireworks," said John Brooke, a lawyer who represents the group. Previously, a 1985 state law limited consumers to impotent little puffs of smoke that didn't shoot more than 8 feet off the ground. If consumers wanted to buy a firecracker with the punch of a 12-gauge, they had to sign a legal document saying they'd shoot it off in one of 27 designated areas during holiday weekends or take it out of state.
Those restrictions were widely ignored. However, now that they're gone, dealers believe more consumers will be willing to buy fireworks and in larger quantities.
Existing fireworks merchants see dollar signs, in part because they think they'll have a lock on the market. The law limits new retailers to 500 pounds of fireworks, about the size of a concession stand.
"It will be hard for there to be more retailers," Howard said.
Some of the largest existing merchants, such as Celebration Fireworks, will be able to sell unlimited amounts of fireworks at some locations.
Why the limit on competition? Retailers argue the provision will curtail reckless growth in the industry and reward "people who have been in the business," said Steve Graves, executive director of the Indiana Fireworks Users Association and the Indiana Fireworks Distributors Association.
Political insiders, however, cite the industry's sizable war chest. In 2004, the industry's political action committee-Safe PAC-gave $36,400 to state political candidates. It still has $88,000 on hand, according to documents filed with the secretary of state.
But money doesn't explain the entire story. The law also contains provisions that have soothed over historic divides.
For instance, Tracy Boatwright, the former state fire marshal and former Democratic state representative who fought to make fireworks illegal for more than a decade, supports the new law.
Under the previous system, Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse bought a lot of fireworks, he said. In other words, people made up fictitious names for the affidavits and went about putting lighters to fuses as if the state had no restrictions.
"Years ago, when I served in the House, I said, 'If we're not going to make [fireworks] illegal, then let's legalize them once and for all and quit this sham,'" Boatwright said.
Indiana's Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the state's fire marshals, also endorsed the bill.
"In the aggregate of the bill, there are many safety features built in that we felt override the accommodation to legalize fireworks," said Eric Dietz, director of the Department of Homeland Security.
Among the new safety features: Purchasers must be 18 years old. Before, anybody could buy toy fireworks like sparklers. Fireworks stands will also be inspected before they're allowed to open.
Gov. Mitch Daniels had his own reasons for signing the bill, and they had little to do with Disney characters.
The new law will help generate cash for firefighter training, thanks to a new 5-percent "public safety fee," or tax, on firework sales. The tax should generate $4 million annually.
"Everywhere I traveled as a candidate, I learned from firefighters about their longtime dream of a fire academy like other states have. I committed to get this done, and today we do," Daniels said at a news conference the day he signed the bill.
The state's Department of Health wasn't asked to join the debate, but managed to keep a provision in the bill that requires the reporting of all fireworks-related injuries.
The previous law also had an injuryreporting provision. From May 2003 to December 2004, the state documented 494 injuries related to fireworks-mostly children who burned themselves.
But there are still a few people who oppose the new law.
"We think this is a very dangerous precedent because every year we see the results of these laws ... children and adults are maimed and injured," said Lorraine Carli, spokeswoman for the National Fire Protection Association near Boston.
Physicians treated 9,300 fireworks injuries in 2004, according to NFPA data.
Brooke and others who represent the industry say safety concerns are overstated. Today's fireworks are safer than ever, thanks to aggressive manufacturing precautions enforced by the American Pyrotechnics Association, he said.
For example, in 1976 there were 38 injuries for every 100,000 pounds of fireworks detonated in the United States, he said. By 2004, that number had dropped to 4.1-an all-time low.
Indiana isn't the only place where more bottle rockets will light the sky on the Fourth of July.
Maryland, Minnesota, Vermont, Georgia and Arizona have all made it easier to purchase fireworks in the past few years. Only five states-including Ohio and Illinois-do not allow the sale of consumer fireworks.
"We're not seeing any trends in the opposite direction [toward more regulation of the industry]," said Julie Heckman, executive director of the American Pyrotechnics Association.
Fireworks consumption increased from 68 million pounds in 1990 to 190 million pounds in 2002, according to U.S. International Trade Commission data cited by the American Pyrotechnics Association.
"Following the horrific events of Sept. 11, 2001, there's been a huge increase in national pride and patriotism," Heckman said, when asked what's behind the increase in demand.
Nationwide, she said, fireworks are now an $880 million industry.
Celebration Fireworks' Howard estimates 85 percent of her share of the pie will come in the first few days in July. She declined to share her company's annual revenue.
Her 10 stores will have 60 workers on staff for the crush of people looking for fireworks with names like Typhoon Alert, Tyranny, Destroyer, Baked Alaska and Meteor.
"People love fireworks," she said. "It's American."

Currently very popular due to the recent controversy, Joseph Lelyveld's new book on Gandhi cites a few selected sentences from Gandhi's letters and some of his actions which can certainly imply him to be of bisexual nature, in the Western (especially American) context. Mr. Lelyveld claims to have "treaded very carefully" with the information, but being an Indian (and not because I admire Gandhi) I would like to say that he probably didn't have enough information. I say so because I think it would require a very good understanding of the Indian culture to be able to make such statements, and I am not sure if he had such an understanding, even though he has spent a considerable time in India.
To begin with, sleeping in one bed with another male is normal for males in India, in fact at times it is the preferred arrangement when there are more couples (guests) in a house than rooms. Sharing a bed, in fact even if a really small bed, where it is hard for two people to sleep without physically touching other person is really no big deal, and any Indian can testify for that. In fact, it is no big deal for Americans to confuse a normal heterosexual Indian male who moved out of India recently as someone with bisexual tendencies, because of the way they would interpret his actions. In a normal man's life, homophoebia in America is certainly many degrees higher than in India, though Indians being good hypocrites and have a very bad appetite to digest this idea when discussed in public.
Our conservative and closed society has made us much more open in front of same sex people, especially the way Indian guys seem cozy or careless with other guys bodies' touching them. Idea of an individual's space is really not a common occurrence in India. Also, in the absence of open and close friendships with the other sex, someone resorting to a strong (though touchy feely type) relationship with a person of same sex, shouldn't be considered anything more than what it is. It took me a reasonable amount of time in US, to understand the difference and behave accordingly. In India we used to hug guy friends and shake hands with female friends, it was just opposite in US, basically most things which are perfectly appropriate to be done in public for a guy and girl e.g. walking/sitting while holding hands, is considered appropriate in India for two guys too. In fact, in more conservative areas same behavior by a couple in public would be totally unacceptable :-)
Anyway, I wasn't lucky enough to be born in Gandhi's times so I don't really know how magical his influence was, but I sincerely think that if millions worshiped him and were willing to die for him from the hands of enemy without any retaliation to the enemy, then he must come across as someone really very powerful and godly. My point is that maybe Mr. Lelyveld read more than what it was between the lines or in the lines. Otherwise also, I think it is not wrong to assume that such a godly status is not awarded to anyone who doesn't do what he preaches. So, we can safely say that even if Gandhi was bisexual by nature or genetically, he would not have broken his vows of abstinence for anyone, either male or female.
When I heard the news of this controversy, I couldn't stop laughing because just a day earlier a Hindu conservative was trying to convince me that Gandhi used to eploit minor girls and other women in his Ashram, etc. So, my first reaction to this controversy was that it as a funny fight between a Hindu conservative (who generally tend to hate Gandhi.. more on that in another post) and a Western Liberal.
Interestingly, almost all of this controversy has gone viral before anyone has even read the book, which I read focuses on other aspects of Gandhi's life and has only a very short discussion on this controversial topic. Probably people are also making the same mistake which author has made (i.e. if he has made one.. this is for disclaimer's sake because I also haven't read the book), which is, reading more than what it is there in between the lines.
In any case, one thing is certain that this strange fascination for Gandhi's sexuality will never die both because of the Hindu conservative who want to prove him as a fraudster (probably because they blame Gandhi for partition and other issues very dear to their hearts) and because of the western liberals who may just be too curious to begin with, and then finally start seeing what they wanted to see, while they might be unconsciously choosing to not see it all from the way things really are in some other culture, cultures which they can't fully relate to or understand.
Whatever it is, or even if Gandhi broke his vows of abstinence, nothing can make him any less of a man then he was in our history. And yes, it is finally so nice to hear that for once government of India will not ban a controversial book :-) It seems, even after death Gandhi is leading India in teaching something important, i.e. freedom of speech.

A new licensing agreement between Sony BMG and Philadelphia International Records ├óÇô which brings together the entire catalogue in one place for the first time - has resulted in renewed interest in the great music that was created in Philly during the ├óÇİ70s and 80├óÇÖs and beyond as well as in PIR├óÇÖs owners and founders, Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff.
As all good soul music lovers know, PIR├óÇÖs vaults are full of timeless classics from some of the true legends in the world of R&B including Lou Rawls, Patti Labelle, The O├óÇÖJays, Teddy Pendergrass, Jean Carn, Archie Bell & The Drells and Bunny Sigler among others.
During a recent trip to Los Angeles, Gamble & Huff sat down with B&S├óÇÖ David Nathan (who did the first B&S interview with the duo in London in 1973) to talk shop, reminisce and reflect on over forty years of music making├óÇ┬Ğ
B&S: Can we talk a little about the artists you worked with before you started PIR in 1972?
Let├óÇÖs start with Jerry Butler├óÇ┬Ğ
KG: We knew Jerry because of the tremendous career he had, first with The Impressions and then as a solo artist. We used to see him at The Uptown Theater here in Philly but we really got close to him when he was playing at Peps show bar. Huff and I showed him the song 'Lost' and he liked it but it was not complete. We said, ├óÇİlet├óÇÖs finish it together├óÇÖ. Jerry├óÇÖs very talented as a lyricist, very fluent and easy to give direction to├óÇ┬Ğ
B&S: Dusty Springfield?
LH: We were doing some independent producing for Atlantic Records. We had been successful with Archie Bell & The Drells with ├óÇ£There├óÇÖs Gonna Be A Showdown.├óÇØ They asked if we could do more acts for them├óÇ┬Ğwe did The Sweet Inspirations, Wilson Pickett. That├óÇÖs when they gave us the opportunity to work with Dusty.
B&S: Did you think of her as a British singer?
KG: No├óÇ┬Ğwe were looking at her as a great voice. It was a little sensitive for us since we were used to work with people like Wilson Pickett. If we had kept working with her we could have done great things. We recorded ├óÇ£Brand New Me├óÇØ with her and ├óÇ£Hope We Can Get Together Soon├óÇØ which we did with Dusty before we did it with Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes. She was easy to work with├óÇ┬Ğ
B&S: How about Laura Nyro who did the album ├óÇ£Gonna Take A Miracle├óÇØ with you and with [the group] Labelle?
LH: She wanted to with us. It was her idea to do the album ├óÇô she wanted to use the aura we had created in Philly.
KG: Laura was very talented, temperamental. You never knew what she would come with. She would come to the studio and say, ├óÇİI don├óÇÖt know if I want to work today├óÇÖ and we would said, ├óÇİBut you gotta ├óÇô we have all these musicians here!├óÇÖ And she would cry just like that! She wanted to do the song ├óÇ£Gonna Take A Miracle.├óÇØ Of course, we knew Patti & Bluebelles. Laura had already worked out a lot of arrangements with them at the piano. It was a different kind of thing for us since we were used to writing all the songs and doing all the arrangements. I think we complemented her and helped her get what she wanted and I think she did an excellent version of [The Originals├óÇÖ song] ├óÇ£The Bells.├óÇØ
B&S: And how was Wilson Pickett?
LH: He had a reputation for being fiery. We were into his sound. But it wasn├óÇÖt complicated: we always had to be in control and we knew how to handle him. And we had success with ├óÇ£Don├óÇÖt Let The Green Grass Fool You├óÇØ and ├óÇ£Engine, Engine Number Nine.├óÇØ
B&S: And finally, Dee Dee Warwick. You did quite a few songs with her├óÇ┬Ğ├óÇ£I├óÇÖll Be Better Off Without You,├óÇØ ├óÇ£It├óÇÖs Not Fair├óÇØ and ├óÇ£I├óÇÖm Gonna Make You Love Me.├óÇØ
KG: We were very disappointed with [what happened with] ├óÇ£I├óÇÖm Gonna Make You Love Me.├óÇØ She was with Mercury Records and they were a small company. You├óÇÖve got to promote the records and they didn├óÇÖt promote that record the way they should have├óÇ┬Ğand then the Temptations and Supremes had an instant smash with the song. She was sweet├óÇ┬Ğthose were good songs we had forgotten about until you mentioned them├óÇ┬Ğ
B&S: OK, let├óÇÖs talk about how some of the PIR artists came to you├óÇ┬Ğ The Jones Girls?
KG: Through Diana Ross. They used to be background singers for her and she was playing the Shubert Theater in Philly. She called and said, ├óÇİI have a group for you├óÇ┬ĞI├óÇÖm not taking them to Motown.├óÇÖ I said, ├óÇİI├óÇÖll come over and check them out.├óÇÖ I thought they were really good. Huff met with them too├óÇ┬Ğand we got them on the first record, ├óÇ£You├óÇÖre Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else├óÇØ.
Diana was shocked! She said, ├óÇİI should have had that song!├óÇÖ
B&S: How about Dexter Wansel?
KG: We met Dexter through [keyboard player] Roland Chambers who had a band named Yellow Sunshine. When I met him and showed me some of his music. I thought he was very good from a technical standpoint so we started feeding him work. I think Dexter could have been the next Quincy Jones├óÇ┬Ğ
B&S: And Lou Rawls?
KG: [A major disc jockey and promoter] Jimmy Bishop was working with us and he called and said, ├óÇİLou├óÇÖs out of his contract├óÇÖ. We said, ├óÇİGo get him, let├óÇÖs see what we can do with him.├óÇÖ He had the kind of voice we could work with, that baritone, raspy gospel voice. We got him on that first record (├óÇ£You├óÇÖll Never Find Another Love Like Mine├óÇØ) and it brought a rejuvenation of his whole career.
B&S: The Three Degrees├óÇ┬Ğ
LH: We worked down at Swan Records with Richard Barrett and we played on the group├óÇÖs sessions there. When their contract was over, he brought them to us├óÇ┬Ğ
B&S: And Phyllis Hyman?
KG: I was always a fan of hers. Patti Labelle had left us and gone to MCA and we were regrouping. We took a shot with her: she was a very colorful artist, very unique and temperamental. We felt we could have done even more and we liked where we were going with her├óÇ┬Ğ
B&S: At different times, PIR signed some interesting artists. I├óÇÖm thinking about Edwin Birdsong, Bobby Rush├óÇ┬Ğ
KG: They were a little bit of a departure for us. Roy used to work with Roy Ayers. He was a very creative person. Sometimes you├óÇÖve got to take a shot with someone who is a little left field. We had an outlet and gave him the opportunity. The album didn├óÇÖt sell at the time we released it. But now, Kanye West has sampled a song from there and one of the songs is being used for a commercial! I told him recently, "I knew it would pay off some time." Bobby Rush? He was a good blues singer. And then, Don Covay was another artist like that, a little different... a great writer, very talented and a funny guy. He came into the studio one day with a doctor├óÇÖs uniform on! I asked him, "Are you here to do musical surgery"?!
B&S: How did the idea for MFSB come about?
KG: The band had a few names over the years, The Romeos, The Family. As a band it started to mature, it became more of an orchestra than a rhythm section. We always had the theme of family. We came up with the name 'MFSB' and some people thought it meant something else ├óÇô thought it stood for profanity! That was intentional! But it meant, ├óÇİMother, Father, Sister, Brother.├óÇÖ The idea for doing instrumental albums came through us working at the ├óÇİschool├óÇÖ of Cameo-Parkway. They had a label which put out instrumental versions of Top 10 hits├óÇ┬Ğso that├óÇÖs where we got the idea. Jay-Z just used one of the MFSB tracks ('Something For Nothing'). Our intention now is to go back and take the vocals off some of the tracks we did and do a whole series of albums that way├óÇ┬Ğ
B&S: Are there any artists you wish you had signed to PIR that you didn├óÇÖt?
KG: Barry White and Earth, Wind & Fire ├óÇô they both came to us├óÇ┬Ğ
LH: Prince ├óÇô he sent us a tape. Back then, we were moving so fast├óÇ┬Ğ
KG: There were a lot of people who could have signed us as producers. I remember when we were trying to get a job at Mercury and they said, ├óÇİyeah, right├óÇÖ! And even Cameo-Parkway├óÇ┬Ğ
LH: They used to run us out of the building - they thought we were thugs because we wore these big hats!
B&S: During the ├óÇİ70s, you did some great concept albums at PIR├óÇ┬Ğ├óÇØWar Of The Gods├óÇØ by Billy Paul, ├óÇ£Ship Ahoy├óÇØ by The O├óÇÖJays├óÇ┬Ğ.
KG: They were designed as concepts. ├óÇ£Ship Ahoy├óÇØ ├óÇ┬Ğall the songs related to the whole experience of slavery├óÇ┬Ğeven ├óÇ£For The Love Of Money├óÇØ since money was what was behind slavery in the first place├óÇ┬Ğ Those albums had a story to them├óÇ┬Ğwe were trying to put together albums with themes, social commentary, love songs and great dance records [all in one album]..
B&S: Many people have done your songs ├óÇô any favourite versions?
KG: Third World gave a whole new meaning to ├óÇ£Now That We Found Love├óÇØ├óÇ┬Ğ
LH: Aretha did a helluva version of ├óÇ£Brand New Me├óÇØ├óÇ┬Ğ
B&S: When was the first time you realized your music was having international impact?
LH: With the success of The Three Degrees├óÇÖ ├óÇ£When Will I See You Again├óÇØ├óÇ┬Ğ
KG: And meeting you back in 1973 for our first British magazine interview! We were amazed that people [in Britain] knew so much about us and our work!
B&S: Is there anyone you would have liked to work with that you didn├óÇÖt?
KG: We had some good opportunities that slipped away. Miles Davis used to call all the time and he had this unique, deep voice. He would call and say, ├óÇİI want to work with you guys.├óÇÖ I would say, ├óÇİCome on down, I got a concept for you├óÇ┬Ğof doing an album with MFSB.├óÇÖ And then we wouldn├óÇÖt hear from him for months├óÇ┬Ğ
LH: And the original Temptations. This was after the original members had left. We were so close to doing it. I remember seeing them all sitting there in Gamble├óÇÖs office ├óÇô Eddie Kendricks, David Ruffin, Otis, Melvin├óÇ┬Ğeverytime they came to town, we would go see them. And we were close to working with Bob Marley before he died├óÇ┬Ğ
B&S: What├óÇÖs your most recorded song?
LH: ├óÇ£When Will I See You Again├óÇØ├óÇ┬Ğit├óÇÖs been done in many languages├óÇ┬Ğthere├óÇÖs even a classical version of it├óÇ┬Ğ
B&S: And finally what are you up to next?
KG: We├óÇÖre trying to promote the catalogue, brand the ├óÇİSound Of Philly├óÇÖ. We├óÇÖre working with Sony BMG on putting out a lot of music that has been in the can ├óÇô a ├óÇİlive├óÇÖ Patti Labelle album, whole albums on The O├óÇÖJays, Lou Rawls├óÇ┬Ğ.
Listening to the incredible legacy of music Kenny and Leon have created is wonder enough, sitting with these two musical masters is truly as much a rewarding experience in 2008 as it was for me back in 1973. With the rejuvenation of the PIR catalogue, a whole new generation can discover what us soul music folks have known for years: the label and its owners are responsible for a phenomenal part of the rich history of contemporary rhythm and blues.

In The Word Collector by Peter H. Reynolds, the main character, Jerome, collects words. Short and sweet words, two-syllable treats, and multisyllable words that sound like little songs. Words that connect, transform, and empower.
We were so inspired by Jerome that we asked our readers to share their children's favorite words—and we were NOT disappointed by the answers! Ranging from sweet (mommy) and totally understandable (chocolate) to downright hilarious (awkward, cowabunga, and incomprehensible), we loved everyone's responses! In fact, we loved them so much, that we pulled them into this word cloud:
After seeing all of the words displayed like this, I had to know: What are some of my fellow bloggers' favorite words? Here's what they said:
Julia G.: My favorite word is nuance. I think it's really pretty, and also I think that being alert for nuance is so important in trying to understand the world.
Brittany S.: Serendipitous. I love the way it sounds, the meaning, and how the word inspires a certain feeling when you say it!
Ashley C.: Faith! Because as long as you've got it, you've got the strength and grounding to always move forward!
Alex W.: Kerfuffle. You'd be surprise how often I manage to use it!
Crystal M.: Flabbergasted is my favorite word. It's just so silly sounding.
As for me? My favorite word is effervescent! I love the fact that saying it out loud feels like its meaning.
What's your favorite word? Share it with us by tweeting us @scholastic! And read more about The Word Collector here!

Knowledge Management for Higher Education. This is an interesting essay on the ways that knowledge management can be applied in academia. It definetly has applications for academic library instruction programs.
From the site:
Knowledge Management (KM) principles recognize that it is important for organizations to "know what they know." All institutions inherently store, access, and deliver knowledge in some manner. The question is what value is added to the products and services they deliver by the effective use of that knowledge capital.
"Almost any institution in this country will make reference to the capturing of knowledge, the sharing of knowledge and the delivery of knowledge from faculty to students," explains Stevenson. However, KM involves much more, going beyond the inherent knowledge industry of colleges and universities. In the EDUCAUSE Leadership Strategies volume entitled Information Alchemy: The Art and Science of Knowledge Management, Bernbom explains that KM involves the "discovery and capture of knowledge, the filtering and arrangement of this knowledge, and the value derived from sharing and using this knowledge throughout the organization" (2001, p. xiv). It is this "organized complexity" of collaborative work to share and use information across all aspects of an institution which marks the effective use of knowledge.
Higher education institutions have "significant opportunities to apply knowledge management practices to support every part of their mission," explains Kidwell et al (2001, p. 24). "Knowledge management should not strike higher education institutions as a radically new idea; rather it is a new spin on their raison d'etre" (p. 24). The problem is that it is such a "wide open area of study that it is difficult to understand the implications of knowledge management for an educational setting" (Thorn, 2001, p. 25). This digest offers a basic introduction to the potential of KM for higher education.
