"My parents traveled by boat and plane before finding a home in San Francisco." Ifeanyi is one of several students in James Lick Middle School's Peer Resources class who is a first generation immigrant. His parents traveled from Abuja, the capital of Nigeria to New York City by boat, lived in Queens, and then flew to San Francisco where they currently reside. Their story is one of success.
However, this is not the case for many immigrant families who struggle to live in the United States. We All Belong Here tells the amazing story of Ifeanyi's family, but the film also glances at what it is like for most immigrants who move here. It is a struggle of economic hardship, abuse, and discrimination. Watch this video that examines the complexities of immigration on a personal level.
Check out the film which was produced by Ifeanyi Ebochie, Andrea Reyes, Jocelyne Umanzor, & Ariande Tziu who are students at James Lick Middle School.
This video was made in collaboration with KQED and San Francisco Peer Resources as part of Project VoiceScape, a partnership with Adobe Youth Voices, PBS, and POV that is aimed at encouraging middle and high school students nationwide to use digital media tools in creating compelling stories about issues and concerns important to them. At Lick Middle School, the students all picked different themes to explore like depression, immigration, graffiti, video game addiction, domestic violence, and race and discrimination. Students produced incredibly poignant films about social issues that personally affect them. Through this personal lens, these films aim to express issues subjectively and do not attempt to hold any sort of objective journalistic integrity. These films also do not represent the opinions of any of the partnering organizations.

The pro-Arab "Free Gaza' group is once again trying to challenge Israel's sovereignty over coastal waters with two boats hauling 15 tons of dry cement, several suitcases of crayons and coloring books and 36 passengers. Among them are former U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and Hedy Epstein, an 84-year-old Holocaust survivor.
The activists wrote to the Defense and Foreign Ministries on Wednesday, "This letter serves as a formal notification to you, as the Occupying Power and belligerent force in the Gaza Strip, that on Thursday, June 25, 2009 we are navigating the motor vessel Spirit of Humanity, and the motor vessel Free Gaza from the Port of Larnaca to the port of Gaza City.
"We will be carrying medical supplies in sealed boxes, as well as crayons, coloring books and toys for children, cleared by customs at the Larnaca International Airport and the Port of Larnaca. We will also be carrying 300 bags of cement…. As it will be confirmed that neither we, the cargo, any of the boats' contents, nor the boats themselves constitute any threat to the security of Israel or its armed forces, we do not expect any interference with our voyage by Israel's authorities."
The Foreign Ministry has not revealed how it will deal with the boats, which are to arrive at the Gaza Coast by Sunday, depending on the winds. It initially ignored the first sailing last August in order to avoid a "media circus" but later changed its policy and ordered the Navy to send patrol boats to divert the vessels.
Israel has limited the transfer of cement, metal and building materials to Gaza because of fears that the de facto Hamas government will use them for weapons and to build bunkers and tunnels used to smuggle weapons in from Egypt.
The last sailing coincided with the Operation Cast Lead counterterrorist campaign, and the Navy kept the Free Gaza boat away from the area out of fear of its being caught in the middle of a battle. The boat was damaged in a collision with a Navy patrol ship, and the activists alleged that the Navy purposely rammed their boat. IDF spokesmen explained that the collision occurred when the pro-Arab vessel made a sudden turn.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Yossi Levi said that the government will decide what to do with the latest sailing "when they near Gaza and when we will know if there is a danger." He also charged the activists with "helping themselves and not helping Gaza." Levi commented, "They can help others in the world, but it is popular to blame Israel."
Former Congresswoman McKinney, who was on the boat that was damaged, said this week that she sent a message to U.S. President Barack Obama about the new voyage, "and all I got back was a Father's Day e-mail."
Asked if the activists also express concern for kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit, Free Gaza spokeswoman Greta Berlin told Israel National News, "We are not a political organization. Shalit is a prisoner of war, captured when he invaded someone else's territory. You will note that we don't say anything about the 11,000 Palestinians held in prison either... many of them without trial."
Shalit was kidnapped in a terrorist attack on an IDF outpost near a crossing located outside of Gaza.

The original five "Wild Boys" are busy recording a new album - the first one in over 20 years. In the meantime two DVDs and a re-issue CD are planned for a May 4 release. The CD is a re-issue of "Arena" which was released back in 1984. The new CD has been updated with two bonus tracks not found on the original release -"Rio" and "Girls on Film".
The two DVDs centre around the Arena tour. In 1984 Duran Duran was at the peak of their popularity. The "Arena" DVD contains footage of the concert in Oakland, California. Among the extras in the DVD is a behind the scenes documentary, an interview with lead singer Simon LeBon, and the video of "Save A Prayer".
The second DVD "Sing Blue Silver is a behind the scenes documentary of the Arena tour. Included on the DVD is a press conference, photo shoot, a visit to the FBI headquarters in Washington D.C., pre-show soundchecks, and a meet and greet with members of the Oakland Raiders football team.
Besides working on a new album Duran Duran are launching a new tour. They were recently performers at the 2004 Brit Awards where they were also presented with an award.

Facebook apps: News brands beware
Facebook's "social news" strategy is just another way of sucking the remaining life out of news brands.
I posted some comments on the new Facebook apps recently. At the time these apps were so new there was no real data about useage.
Now there is some early stage information about take up and response.
Problem is, the data appears conflicting and the commentary is just plain confusing. Added to which Facebook users, when asked, say they don't like the apps. Yet effectively they are corralled into using them because of the way Facebook has deployed them.
The Next Web reports that The Guardian app has had 4 millions instals since its release. The article acknowledges that the app lets "Facebook's 800m+ users read the guardian's articles online without actually leaving the social network".
However, despite this the app generates "almost a million extra page impressions a day".
How does it do this if users don't leave Facebook?
The only way that I can see it does this is by promoting other Guardian Facebook fan pages alongside the ringfenced content within the app. So, it is possible to navigate from the app to, say, The Guardian Media fan page and from there to an article on theguardian.co.uk.
But that's an extra two clicks, and effectively another drag on user numbers heading off to the parent news site.
It's all enabled by Facebook's Open Graph framework, which is a clever way of connecting content with Facebook users and functionality through API's. It's a seamless user experience, but one that is actually encouraging news consumers to care less about the news brands they are engaging with.
So Facebook's claim of success here, on behalf of their news partners (Guardian, Washington Post, Yahoo!News, The Independent etc) is disengenuous.
It is a great success for Facebook, but it presents a serious dilemma for news publishers. In reality, Facebook's "social news" strategy is just another way of sucking the remaining life out of news brands.
Publishers should go there at their peril. And to my mind executives like Donald Graham (Chairman of Washington Post and board director at Facebook) have such a conflict of interest that they should remove themselves from any publishing decisions to do with Facebook.
Everybody else needs to get a lot smarter about how they manage their news partnerships with Facebook.
Right now Facebook is sending traffic to news sites, but after the feast comes the reckoning.
What would Facebook do with $10 billion cash?
That's the number being bandied around as its initial raising target as it mulls an IPO. The answer, I suppose, is anyone's guess right now.
So, what would be the chances of them buying up news media? Mark Zuckerberg has been upfront about his interest in, even need for, content. Would he spend some of that change on buying a content generating organisation? Would his Chairman, for example, offer up the Washington Post?
Or closer to home ... would Fairfax be of interest?
A cashed up Facebook might well consider making a play for the newsroom of a traditional media company (or two). They'd have little interest in the production and distribution mechanisms, so effectively it would mean junking those assets and stripping out the journalism.
It's an unpleasant thought, but one that could conceivably happen.
All the more reason for news publishers to value their brands more effectively in their relationships with Facebook.

Remember how I wrote that memoir? Well, I still am working on it. It has just taken a back seat to some of my other writing projects, because I don't feel like I've had enough life experience to end it…you know?
However, I thought I would share with you all the first chapter of that memoir, and what better day than today! The day I'm having my 14th surgery (or something like that, I really can't remember the actual number).
So, enjoy and stuff.
Chapter One – The Red Tricycle
My most prominent M.H.E. related memory would have to have been my first surgery ever. I was eight years old. I remember how, in the weeks prior, my parents tried to make it easier on me. I got to pick out the colour of my soon-to-be cast. I picked pink. I was excited about that. I wasn't sure about the rest of it though. At eight, I didn't fully comprehend what having a surgery really meant. I'm sure it was hard for my parents to explain it without scaring me. I was told that I would go to sleep, and when I woke up I'd be a little sore but then my leg would feel much better, and I'd have a pink cast that all my friends could sign.
On the day of my surgery, my sisters got dropped off super early at my mom's friend's house. I remember being jealous of Kathrynn and Josephine. I wanted to stay at the Armstrong's farm. My friend, Ryan, and I always had such fun climbing hay bails. I pouted until I passed out in the car. Sick Kids was a good hour and forty five minutes away, and I was tired from waking up so early.
It was still dark when we dropped my sisters off, and the sun was only just beginning to rise when my dad dropped my mom and I off so he could go find parking. My mom got me registered at Information. While she did that, I stared in wonderment up at the giant pig in a tutu on a tightrope in the atrium. I saw it every time I came to the hospital. My earliest memories were of having it pointed out to me by my parents or grandparents.
"Look at the pig, Jessie!" they'd say, pointing up to it. I'd smile and giggle. A pig in a tutu, how silly. I smiled faintly as I looked up at it, but the nervousness I was feeling prevented that smile from reaching my eyes.
Just as my mom finished registering me, my dad joined us and we quickly walked up to the floor where all my pre-admissions exams would happen. I would later refer to this as the waiting room of the waiting room. I remember growing impatient rather quickly, and by the time we made it to the operating room, I was irritable and cranky. Having to be up so early, not being able to eat and then having to wait the half the day didn't really bring out my bubbly disposition. Then again, I was exercising great patience for an eight-year old.
There were more toys in the O.R. waiting room, including a hockey table. I can remember overjoyed at getting to play on the hockey table with my dad. It proved to be a very easy distraction and in no time at all, I forgot my hunger pains and crankiness. Soon enough, a man in green scrubs, the anaesthesiologist, came to talk to us. He explained to my parents and I what he would be doing, although, I couldn't quite understand it.
"I'm going to put you to sleep using a mask," he said. "You'll get to pick a flavour, what flavour would you like?"
" Pizza," I replied, after he named a few. My stomach rumbled. I was hungry. My parents chuckled.
"All right, pizza it is." He smiled. He told us that he would see me in the O.R and that he would have my pizza ready. My dad and I went back to playing hockey on the hockey table. I wanted our game to last forever. My dad didn't usually get to take time off work to come to my yearly check ups, he had to work a lot, so my eight year-old self thought it was cool to have him there on the day of my surgery, not that he'd miss it. I was a big daddy's girl, and was basking in the attention.
Much too soon for my liking, more people in scrubs came to talk to us. One of those people was my doctor, Dr. Wright. He gave me a warm smile. I was beginning to fell apprehensive and overwhelmed. There were so many people surrounding him, all of them wearing the same green scrubs with the Sick Kids emblem printed across the breast pocket. It was very intimating, and I stared at the ground instead of meeting their eyes.
"Jessie, do you mind if I draw on you using this?" Dr. Wright asked, pulling a permanent marker from his pocket. I looked to my parents for guidance. I usually wasn't allowed to draw on myself, at least not with permanent marker. They nodded, so I did too. Dr. Wright circled the bumps on my left knee, above and below my left knee and the one on my ankle. He drew smiley faces on all three circles and I giggled. As he drew, he explained to his colleagues and my parents what he was going to do during the surgery. I didn't understand what he was saying, so I tuned him out and instead thought about pizza. I was still very hungry.
"All right, Jessie, I'll see you in the O.R room." Dr. Wright said, putting the marker back in his pocket. "The nurse will come for you when we are ready." He gave me a kindly smile and left with the other nurses and doctors.
When the nurse returned, she told me that I could ride a bike to the O.R. I wasn't really balanced on a two-wheel bike yet, my bones made learning a slower process for me than most kids. I chose the red tricycle. I rode it through the big doors and down the hall. The nurse kept pace with me and asked about school and my favourite things to do.
When we came to the O.R. room, the nurse opened the doors for me. I rode the red tricycle in, pausing at the threshold, my little eyes taking in the sight before me. The room was filled with people who all looked the same. I couldn't tell if they were all from the group that had come to talk to me with Dr. Wright. They all had the same green scrubs, hats and masks. There was a lot of scary looking machines, bright lights and questionable looking tools laid out on a tray. The nurse was trying to talk to me, but I couldn't hear her. All I could hear was my pulse pounding loudly in my ears the smell of the sterile environment made my stomach flop unpleasantly. I was so scared that I tried to back the red tricycle out of the room to go back to my parents. The nurse gently stopped me by grabbing the handlebar of the red tricycle.
The room erupted into chuckles over my escape attempt, and although my heart was pounding in my small chest, I felt good for making people laugh. I liked making people laugh. Somehow, the nurse was able to coax me up on the operating table. I started to shiver, it was freezing in the O.R. room, and it was so bright. The nurse put a warm blanket on me, but it didn't stop my shaking.
"All right Jessie, are you ready?" The anaesthesiologist asked, not waiting for a response, as he secured the mask over my face. I started to panic, I didn't want to go to sleep. I didn't want to have a surgery and wake up in a pink cast. "I'm just giving you oxygen now," the anaesthesiologist said gently. The nurse was stroking my hair to comfort me. I don't like it, I tried to say, but my voice froze in my throat. I felt trapped. Tears welled up in my eyes.
"Okay, time for pizza," the anaesthesiologist said, and the taste in the mask changed and got thicker.
"It's yucky," I remember crying. The mask muffled my voice.
"Count backwards from five." He said.
"Five, four," I tried. My eyes felt heavy. I felt like I was floating downward.
…to be continued.

Here is the latest e-mail that I received about The Joy of Not Working:
- Dear Ernie,
I came across your book TJONW [The Joy of Not Working ] in the mid 90's it was purchased from a discount drugstore and I want to tell you how it has affected my life.
When I read your book it was like a duck going into water I could relate to your way of thinking and appreciated how organized you were as to sharing how to live frugally and happily…The main thing is " I will find a way or make one " a quote from Robert E. Peary
And if a person stays focused on that standard and lives within their means they can find a very fulfilling and rich life…There isn't enough hours in the day to do all I would like such as: …gardening…sewing…cooking…wood crafting… recycling…and upcycling (making things from recycled items) …walking…kayaking…visiting…internet surfing…playing with the grandchildren…bartering…massaging (that's my profession)…thrift shopping and yard sales (which saves lots of $)…and being a DIY person… also I am lucky to have the time to hang out the laundry and shop for things that are on sale and make homemade applesauce because it tastes better and be a vegan because it's healthier…I always wanted to write to you and when I found all your web sites I wanted to join in and let others know that a more natural approach to living life and saving money [for retirment] affords you of enjoying your day to day activities and keeps you doing those types of things instead of punching a clock for someone else.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for all the ideas,
Barbara H.
From Northern California

Hemorrhoids Heat Lamp Cure - How to use It and Treat Your Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids as we all know it is associated with constipation or any form of strain experienced by the rectal muscles, when carrying out the wastes during bowel movement. The strain or stress causes muscle agitation that can lead to the swelling of the muscular tissues.
Traditionally, the cure for any form of exterior swelling is by applying hot compress, in as much as the heat or heat can cause the swelling of the tissues to subside. Hence, the use of hemorrhoids heat lamp treatment has gained widespread recognition since the relief it offers is both convenient and also instantaneous.
The German sitz bath is also quite popular in providing relief but it tends to involve a lot of preparation. It needs a tub full of water which is contrary to the conservation efforts we have to observe. Creams and ointments regardless of whether homemade or purchased from over-the-counter also furnish the relief needed but can be very messy as it can cause undergarment stains.H.
Emorrhoids heat lamp remedy generates infrared heat, which when radiated on the swollen muscle will effectively draw away the pain and the swelling. There are several types of hemorrhoids heat lamp cures and also the most effective of which are those that can be adjusted as far as intensity and frequency of radiation is concerned. Accordingly, they are safe and easy to use, hence their fast growing popularity.
How to Use the Hemorrhoids Warmth Lamp Cure?
When using the hemorrhoids heat lamp cure, you should make sure you're in an area where there are no objects or pieces of flammable materials or perhaps fabrics like curtains, linens or blankets which may accidentally touch or be in contact with the lamp.
- Double-check if the shield or screen of the infrared lamp is held securely in its casing.
- That is to prevent unintentionally exposing the light bulb to the intense heat which can cause the bulb to shatter.
Make sure that the heat of the lamp is a minimum of 18 inches away from the skin and the infrared radiation should be directed exactly at the swollen and affected parts, for 20 to be able to 30minutes at the most. However, you have to turn the light off immediately in case your skin begins to feel a burning sensation.

Cyber bullying is a new torturing tool to harass someone willfully. This is a crime to disturb or mislead others. Children, school students and girls are bullied by miscreants. Over phone or through online message dashboard including emails, innocent children are threatened by unknown persons. This cyber bullying has close connection with social media. Write an extended analytical research paper explaining the various negative impressions of cyber crime.
Social media portals have been launched to entertain people. It is a powerful media portal with million subscribers to visit the site for fun. However, a number of caustic episodes of suicide cases have forced the government to change the existing law with specific guidelines for online visitors to browse in the social media. Even Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms have asked for co-operation to stop cyber bullying. Well, in your masterpiece, write about the conceptions of teens regarding the online bullying. Are they desirous of cyber bullying their friends? If it is argumentative topic, as a supporter of mild cyber bullying, you can broach up the issue of forceful seduction, ragging in colleges and human exploitation. Due to presence of capitalists with imperialistic mindsets, poor laborers are tortured. Though law has been modified, the rule of jungle is running on its rut defying the judiciary system. Women are also harassed sexually. Forceful seduction takes place in public places, schools and colleges. However, women are not debarred or restrained from going outside. Similarly, due to the cyber bullying fiasco is it appropriate for parents to restrict children to do online chatting. Debate is meaningful with relevant logic to showcase. Million victims complain that due to the improper rules and apathy of higher authority to manage the cyber bullying, children have to bear with humiliation. The law and order must be strict to handle the cyber crime boldly.
The social media portals must be protected from urchins. Do you have any instant anti-cyber bullying solution? Do you want to involve people to reduce the crime online? What is your view regarding the prevention of cyber bullying? Conclude by providing a strong statement to convince readers. Your analysis must not be overlooked by the audience. Therefore, instead of using obsolete terms, choose the effective lucid tone to compose the content highlighting the after math effect of cyber bullying.
In this connection, good content writing sites will help you to go through qualitative samples on cyber bullying to gather important facts.

Colonial mountain town San Cristóbal de las Casas (shortened to San Cris by locals) is the unofficial tourist capital of Chiapas and an excellent base for exploring this fascinating region. Founded in 1528, San Cris sits in a wide valley of the forested Central Highlands in the center of the state.
Its colorful historic center can be seen in half a day with slow walks down cobblestone streets, up staircases to hilltop churches, and through the massive public market, where you'll experience the "real" Chiapas, which lacks the polish of mass tourism and foreign-owned businesses common elsewhere in Mexico.
There's a lot to see and do in San Cris, and even more in the surrounding mountains and indigenous small towns. But take your time. Part this mellow city's charm is a long morning at a café or a long afternoon on a patio bar, of course with full-flavored coffee, pure mountain air, and views of the green valley all around.
Here are the highlights:
The Historic Center
The zócalo, or parque central, is the exact center of most Latin American cities. The cathedral (the biggest church and often the tallest structure in town) and government buildings face these squares.
Some are wide open and paved with stone, like in Mexico City, but in San Cris the zócalo is full of trees and park benches. You can get a drink and listen to marimba music at the gazebo in the middle.
The cathedral is north of the zócalo, and it faces its own square: La Plaza de la Paz (Peace Plaza). If you're lucky enough to be in San Cris for a music festival, the stage will probably be set up here.
With the zócalo in the intersection, two long pedestrian streets (called andadores) form a big T in central San Cris. They're lined with hotels, restaurants, bars, cafés, bakeries, travel agencies, souvenir shops, and clothing stores.
All kinds of people fill the busy streets: locals walking to work, Mayans visiting from mountain communities, hippies with sandwich boards full of jewelry, world travelers humping backpacks of all sizes, and Mexican families on vacation.
You'll walk down an andador every day you're in San Cris. One ends at the Outdoor Artisanal Market, with the Municipal Market farther on (see below), and the other two lead to pretty hilltop churches.
Two Hilltop Churches
If you get lost in central San Cris, just look up and around for the two churches on hills on opposite sides of the historic center: the Cerro de San Cristóbal and the Cerro de Guadalupe. (Cerro means hill.) The higher Cerro de San Cristóbal is up a long staircase surrounded by trees.
Across town, the Cerro de Guadalupe has a more open panoramic view, and the smaller church is pretty inside and out. It's also a good landmark and starting point for exploring the east side of San Cris, which has natural areas like Las Canastas (a hiking spot) and Arcotete Park (see below).
The Municipal Market
There are three big markets in central San Cris. Two are full of souvenirs and geared toward tourists, though still worth visiting. The sprawling Municipal Market, however, is the biggest, best, and realest. In Spanish it's the Mercado Público Municipal José Castillo Tiélemans, and it unfolds over many city blocks.
The greater market with all its extensions isn't well-marked on maps, and getting lost is easy once you're inside. Exploring it properly takes time, and once you think you've seen it all, you'll turn a corner and find a whole new section.
This is the place to buy ground coffee, cacao beans (the rawest chocolate), exotic fruit, fresh vegetables, natural medicine, candles, and so much more. You'll see things you've never seen before—don't hesitate to ask questions and accept free samples. But please don't drive a hard bargain, and don't treat it like a photo opportunity. Instead soak up the culture and buy some tasty treats to devour or share on your hotel patio.
The large market building—a hangar the size of a football field—is buried among all the stalls under tarps hung over what were once open city streets. Walk down a staircase to the spacious market building, where you can find cheese, meat, packaged goods, and many of the same things you saw outside, like fruit and bread.
There's a cluster of restaurants near the northeast corner of the big market building. Just keep wandering—you'll find them. You'll get your cheapest and most authentic meal in San Cris at these restaurants, and your fellow diners are more likely to be locals than tourists.
The Na Bolom Museum
If you go to only one museum in San Cris, and especially if you prefer history to jade, amber, chocolate, or Mayan medicine, then go to the Na Bolom Museum.
The Na Bolom museum is the former house of Danish explorer Frans Bloom and his wife, Swiss photographer and fellow explorer Gertrude Durby. On display is their personal collection of historical artifacts, photos, and maps from their explorations into the Lacandon jungle in north-central Chiapas.
Half the fun is exploring the beautifully restored colonial home. Don't miss the small chapel, used for piano recitals, and the well-stocked library.
Live Music and Nightlife
Talented musicians from all over Mexico come to San Cris to tour or to settle, so after dark the city is full of great jazz, flamenco, salsa, rock, reggae, hip-hop, DJs, and anything else you can imagine.
Bars and clubs go in and out of style, so ask around for whatever kind of music you want, like a friendly waitress or a cool bartender. Strolling down an andador after dark is another way to find a band, as you can hear the music coming from the open door or windows of practically every restaurant or bar.
Here are three tried-and-true favorites, all within a block of each other on or near the Andador Eclesiástico by the cathedral:
Revolution: The spot for hippy rock, hippy folk, and hippy hip-hop, often with no cover. Open for lunch too.
Zirko: The Cuban-led salsa band is excellent, and for a small space there's a bumping dance floor. The band starts late (11 p.m. or even midnight) and plays into the morning, and on weekends there are DJs in the larger back room.
DaDa Jazz Club: Right around the corner from Zirko and Revolution is San Cris' premier jazz club. Look for the schedule posted near the front door.
Of course, you can hear live music on the street on warm, busy nights.
Arcoteje Park and Mammoth Caves
In the mountains just outside San Cris are privately-owned nature parks with small entrance fees. Many have caves, hiking trails, and activities like ziplines and rappelling.
I recommend Parque Ecoturístico El Arcotete (Arcotete Ecotourism Park) and Grutas del Mamut (Mammoth Caves) for how nice they are and how close they are to each other. You can see both in half a day, even if you don't want to spend too much time on your feet. The easiest way is to take a taxi, though you can walk to them from central San Cris.
Arcotete has a small cave above a river, lots of hiking trails, and a high zipline. If you're an experienced hiker and speak Spanish (for asking directions), you could hike downhill all the way to Las Canastas, another park on the outskirts of San Cris.
For extensive caves with large chambers you could drive a truck into, head up the highway from Arcotete to Mammoth Caves (Grutas de Mamut). Look for the rock formation that resembles a woolly mammoth, which gives the cave its name (mamut = mammoth). Above ground, a small stream passes by the parking lot. You can rent a boat to drift down it, or stick to the hiking trails.
Detailed directions to these parks and all the other places mentioned in this article (Palenque, San Juan Chamula, Sumidero Canyon, etc.) can be found in my guidebook to Chiapas, though I'll gladly answer questions in the comments.
(paid link)
San Juan Chamula
San Juan Chamula is the best-known autonomous Mayan community in Chiapas. Besides its scenic location in a wooded valley next to San Cris, the main reason to go is its otherworldly cathedral. Instead of pews, there are pine needles and burning candles on the floor, smoke in the air, and praying locals who bring in chickens and cans of soda.
And yet another reason to visit San Juan Chamula is to sample pox (pronounced and sometimes spelled posh), the local corn moonshine. You can buy fancy bottles of it in San Cris, or get the more authentic and cheaper version in reused Coca Cola bottles up the street from the cathedral in Chamula.
Sumidero Canyon and Chiapa de Corzo
A photo of the massive Sumidero Canyon is bound to be on the cover of any Mexican tourist brochure for Chiapas.
There are lookouts above the canyon, but the best way to see it is with the two- or three-hour boat trip from Chiapa de Corzo, the small colonial town on the muddy Grijalva River where the boat tours leave from.
After winding through some sandy banks with thick forest behind, you'll go under the highway bridge and then between towering cliffs, which at one point are 1,000 meters high.
Most people go in a tour from San Cris, but it's easy to get there on your own with a 40-minute colectivo (passenger van) ride to Chiapa de Corzo. The little town is worth exploring as well. It's warmer than San Cris, has a spacious zocalo with authentic restaurants, and there are bigger restaurants with mariachis, marimbas, and cool breezes on the river by the docks.
The Zoo in Tuxtla Gutiérrez
I know, I know, zoos get a bad rap. But Zoomat is different. It exclusively features animals from Chiapas in their natural habitat, which means that you can see animals you would never see otherwise, like the elusive quetzal (bird) or the dangerous jaguar.
Zoomat, official known as Zoológico Miguel Álvarez del Toro, is across the valley from the Sumidero Canyon in the forested valley slopes above Tuxtla Gutiérrez, the capital and largest city in Chiapas. If you get up early, you can see Zoomat and the Sumidero Canyon in the same day from San Cris.
Visiting Zoomat is like exploring a jungle park, with winding paths and little bridges over streams. Follow the route through the whole place, which begins with the crocodiles and ends with the jaguars. The official pamphlet states that it takes two and a half hours to see everything.
Elsewhere in Chiapas
Besides San Cris and the Sumidero Canyon, the other major attraction in Chiapas is the ancient Mayan city of Palenque, with big, climbable pyramids deep in the monkey-filled jungle at the foot of mountains.
But every corner of the state offers something for the traveler: the multicolored Montebello and Colon lakes surrounded by pine forests, huge waterfalls like El Chiflon and Misol-Ha, the long Pacific coast of under-explored beach towns, and more Mayan ruins in even-deeper jungle, such as Bonampak and Yaxchilán.
Buses and colectivos (passenger vans) go to all these places, most of which are no more than a half day from San Cris. They offer a nice mixture of rustic adventure and good travel services, including hotels and restaurants for all budgets. Best of all, Chiapas is one of the safest places in Mexico, and getting around is generally hassle-free, even if you don't speak Spanish.
For travel advice for these places and many more, please check out my guidebook Your Chiapas Adventure: San Cristobal de las Casas and Palenque. It's full of detailed maps and directions, cultural insights, and insider tips for food, accommodation, and communicating in Spanish.
The guide is available here or at amazon.com, and will pay for itself the first time you follow my advice for a restaurant, hotel, or colectivo.

Because of the crazy (now four) days of heat, I've been releasing all the birds, so that they can manage their own needs, and won't ever possibly be trapped without water. The Silkies move no more than 4 feet, piling up under the pine tree they're under anyway.
Some of them are panting, and some hold their feet wide and wings out flat like airplanes for a draft under their wings, but they've been just fine. There's a stiff breeze, and under the pine tree, it's quite cool. All they need is for the drinks to keep coming. I come around checking on them, worried, and they just look at me. What? We don't need anything. Unless you've got snacks?
I check on the broodies, but they're never panting. It's quite temperate by the door of the GH when there's some wind. It's me that is ready for this heat to be over. But no, two more days of this. An overnight low of room temperature. Sheesh.It turns out that Apples and Sprout (Sprout has made a total recovery from the broken leg– not even the bump remains) prefer the other chickery, as do the first chicks. Conveniently, Perchick etc are out of there in seconds in the morning.
These are the first chicks of the year, and their mother on the box(airplane-winged). (I always, always, need more name suggestions – so many important chickens remain unnamed. Maybe I can auction naming rights, like newly discovered stars ). I'm kidding.
There's one rooster that gets stuck in Apples' chickery, not ever dipping his head low enough to see the way out, or jumping over. He's a bit dim.I suppose we should expect this of Perchick.There are other pine trees too, several of them used as bird oases. Perchick's chicks disappear in the jungle of weeds. That must be very cool, like us in an evergreen canopy.Her chicks are so bold and self-assured. Adorable.

We are having issues publishing a Windows based VisualSVN Server via an Appache mod_proxy.
Company IS policy does not allow SSL connections to be initiated from external networks and enter into the company network unterminated. To allow SSL connections to be initiated by external parties they use an Apache mod_proxy that accept the SSL connection transforms it to another protocol such as HTTP and then forwards it to the appropriate internal resource. This service runs as a proxy for all externally published resources so is quite sensitive for both security and availability. What we are seeing from the perspective of our team is that our infrastructure for publishing this service is working 100%. We are able to simulate external connections coming to the server and all data is being returned and function as expected with either Internet Explorer or repo browsing tools like TortoiseSVN.
The issue seems to be in the mod_proxy mentioned earlier; run by the network team. Simple HTTP connections to the SVN server work brilliantly. However, as soon as we attempt to use tools that require extensions to the HTTP protocol (TortoiseSVN for example) everything breaks down. WireShark reveals that the protocol being used is HTTP/XML and that the requests for the resources are not hitting the VisualSVN server at all.
Does anyone know if there are special configuration options needed to get mod_proxy to work with WebDAV tools like TortoiseSVN?
Here is what happenswhen browising via IE:
SSL Connetctopn initiated on client ---> mod_proxy -- transforms request to port 80 --> ISA Server 2006 --> VisualSVN Returns web Page
Works like a charm.
Here is what we see when we try to browse using Tortoise:
SSL connection initiated on client ---> mod_proxy no packects sent to ISA Server

As of the date of this blog post, I've lost about 10 lbs. since I've began my weight loss journey less than 6 weeks ago.
Previously on the blog: 4 Avocado Toast Recipes That Will Change Your Life
10 lbs. may not sound like a lot but you know what that 10 lbs. represents to me…PROGRESS! The saying is true, when you decide to lose weight you have to undergo a total lifestyle change. Fad diets will only set you up for failure and leave you unrealistic expectations. My only new years resolution for 2018 was to make a commitment to myself. I knew I wanted to be the best version of myself and that included getting my health and overall wellness in shape (pun intended).
What did I do to jump start my weight loss?
1. Well, the very first thing I did was cut out all refined sugars.
I didn't "cut back" or "ween" myself off, I cut the crap out of my diet completely. In addition to that, I stopped eating meat and limited my carb intake. I now eat on a pescatarian diet that's high in protein and low in carbs.
2. I started counting my calories while eating in a caloric deficit
Counting calories helps you understand exactly what you're eating. I started tracking my calories through the My Fitness Pal app, even on the days I had a cheat meal. In order to understand what calories I need to consume to be in a healthy caloric deficit, I completed this assessment to determine how many calories I should be eating per day and cut that amount by 500. Now, my meal portions are a lot smaller and I find myself getting full much faster.
3. I exercised more
Growing up, I was an athlete so I always had it in me to be athletic and active. People will tell you that you can lose weight simply by just changing your diet and not exercising and yes…that is completely true. However, there are so many health benefits to exercising, why would you cheat yourself out of that experience?
Even if its only 30 minutes, I make sure to get some cardio into my life at least 5x/week. If you don't have a gym membership, Fitness Blender was my go to before joining Planet Fitness. I still use Fitness Blender on days I may not have the time to go to the gym and working out at home is more convenient.
4. I stopped eating late
When you eat a big meal and then go to sleep directly after all that food is basically just sitting on your body with no opportunity to fully digest and burn off. Intermittent fasting is probably the best thing I could have done and I truly suggest anyone who is looking to shed some pounds to incorporate it into your routine. My cut off time for eating is 7 pm. Sometimes its 8 pm depending on what time I make it home at the end of the day.
These are just a few of the steps that I've taken that has helped me in my journey
Weight loss is just as much mental as it is physical and to truly stay on your journey, you have to change your mindset and your relationship with food all together. Here are few things I constantly keep in the back of my mind that keeps me motivated and moving forward.
- Weight Loss isn't going to happen overnight
- You are not alone
- These changes will BETTER my life
- I may not be able to do something now but with consistency, I will!
Watching others on their journey (there's tons of videos from people on YouTube) has definitely kept me motivated to stay on mine. It serves a daily reminder that you gotta stay in the fight to win.
I can provide you with all the weight loss tips for success imaginable, but if your mind isn't right…none of them will work!
Point. Blank. Period.
If you're currently on your own personal weight loss journey, i'd love to hear about your progress. Feel free to connect with me on Instagram if you have any questions that I can answer.
Best of luck to you on your journey!

On October 15, 2017, the whole world commemorated the Global Handwashing Day. It is a global advocacy day dedicated to increasing awareness and understanding about the importance of handwashing with soap. It aims at motivating and mobilizing people around the world to improve their handwashing habits by washing their hands with soap at critical moments throughout each day, thereby raising awareness of handwashing with soap as a key approach to disease prevention.
As an organization whose mission is to educate, empower and inspire young people in mostly disadvantaged communities in Nigeria with a focus on using innovative approaches like football and other physical activities to educate adolescents about public health-related issues such as malaria, HIV/AIDS, personal hygiene, sexual and reproductive health as well as creating a safe space for them to access to health services and resources, YEDI took the hand washing message to 50 public schools in Lagos, reaching out to over 500 children.
With this year's theme: 'Our Hands, Our Future!' the hand wash message with demonstrations to boot, was well received by both pupils and teachers alike as well as the Chairperson of Okunola (Alimosho) LCDA, Mrs. Olabisi Adebajo and her Vice - Hon. Dapo Sonowo.
For this year's Global Handwashing Day, it was all fun for children of Bishop Oluwole Memorial Primary School, Agege; Oke-Odo Community Primary School, Abulegba; Estate Primary School 2, Iba; Morocco Junior High school; and Elegbata Senior High school, all in Lagos, who participated.
Other schools who participated in the fun but impactful exercise were Ansarudeen Primary School; Tincan Island Junior High School, Apapa; Ayinke Primary School, Bariga; Talim-Ul Islam Ahmadiyya Nursery and Primary School; and several others.
Thanks to YEDI Skillz Coaches, these children all went home with one message: let's wash our hands and invest in a better future!

LeftField Media is a boutique events company focused on developing face-to-face events in a range of communities rooted in contemporary culture and shared passion. LeftField Media was formed in 2014 by Greg Topalian (20+ year event veteran and founder of New York Comic Con) and is owned by Topalian and Clarion UX, a Clarion Events company. With a keen sense of the ever-evolving needs of the industry as well as the new opportunities created by change, LeftField takes a clean slate approach to business. LeftField's portfolio reaches fans and businesses spanning the worlds of comics, movies, television, toys, games, anime, manga, science, technology, and education.
LeftField partners, sponsors, and exhibitors include the Toy Industry Association, Nickelodeon, LEGO, Hasbro, Mattel, Cartoon Network, Warner Bros, NASA, and Smithsonian Magazine.
The first time Greg attended a tradeshow he was 10 years old and it was the Boston Seafood Show at the Hynes, he was hooked. The idea of creating engaging and epic experiences has always been the most appealing part of the tradeshow industry but rarely is achieved. This is the driving force behind the creation of LeftField Media.
Greg started his career in the event business 17 years ago and was most recently Senior Vice President at Reed Exhibitions responsible for a portfolio of 38 events. Greg has consistently created new concepts and challenged the status quo and it shows in all of the events and teams he has been a part of creating. Greg is most well known for being the founder of New York Comic Con, which was launched in 2006. This led to the creation of ReedPop and the subsequent launch or acquisition of events such as PAX, C2E2, UFC Fan Expo, and Star Wars Celebration. ReedPop would become the fastest growing division within the global company. In his spare time he also led the acquisition and integration of a fashion portfolio with the additions of Agenda in 2013 and Capsule in 2014. In 2012 Greg felt there was a need to create a better ROI for customers and an event format that delivered more measurable outcomes so he created the One2One events group. One2One grew to 9 stand-alone events annually and set records for customer satisfaction. Not bad for a guy who sold booths 17 years ago.
Greg comes from a long line of innovators. Greg's father Harry Topalian was a Director of R&D at General Foods for 35 years and worked on the invention of notable products such as Stove Top stuffing, Jell-O, Shake and Bake, and Bear Naked Granola. It's no surprise that Greg caught the innovation bug, which has led directly to the creation of LeftField Media. Lets see what he creates next!
LeftField Media is founded in creating events for passionate fans. Greg's passions include being an insane Yankees fan (he named his son Derek!), classic arcade games, cooking and craft beer. His wife Andrea is an amazing photographer (check out the headshot) and they have 3 wonderful kids.

Strong Defense
The Crusaders led all Division I programs in 2012 in goals against average, posting a team GAA of 0.51 and recording clean sheets in 11 of their 19 games. And Valpo returns the majority of its players in the back, highlighted by the final season for senior goalkeeper Kristen Manski. Manski set the Crusaders' single-season record for GAA and matched the shutouts record last year as a junior, and enters her senior campaign as Valpo's career leader in shutouts, GAA and save percentage.
Directly in front of Manski, the Crusaders bring back three of four regular starters, anchored by seniors Katie Gratzianna and Tara Ellis, who each started all 19 games a season ago. Also returning in the back is sophomore Jenny Fassbinder, who earned 13 starts as a rookie in 2012. The only defensive starter not back for the 2013 campaign is four-year starter Janine Lytle.
Finding the Net
While Valpo boasted the top defense in the nation in 2012, the Crusaders will look to score more in 2013, as they found the back of the net just 17 times themselves last season. Valpo will have to do it with graduated seniors Rachel Hoaglin and Luisa Desario, both of whom rank among the top-10 goal scorers in program history.
Desario paced Valpo in the goal-scoring column last year with four goals, but a pair of freshmen contributed three goals apiece and will be called upon to step forward offensively in their second seasons. Jordan Ryfiak earned 18 starts in her rookie year up front, while Sarrah Ludwig was a significant presence in the middle of the park for the Crusaders as a freshman. Another sophomore, Rita Craven, returns after starting all 19 contests in the midfield as a rookie as well.
A Lot of New Faces
15 letterwinners in all are back from last season's 10-win squad, but that leaves plenty of room for a lot of newcomers. Fans will need to make sure to pick up a program to put names and faces to the numbers of 11 true freshmen and one transfer.
The group of 12 newcomers hails from six different states, six of them coming from just across the border in Illinois. There are five forwards, two midfielders, two defenders, one defender/midfielder and two goalkeepers looking to make their mark in their first season as Crusaders.
The Opposition
Fans in Valpo will have plenty of chances to take a look for themselves at this season's Crusader squad, as seven of the 10 regular season non-league contests are at Brown Field, including five of the first six. The regular season kicks off Friday, Aug. 23 as Valpo hosts DePaul, while a home matchup with Northwestern also highlights the early-season slate on Thursday, Sept. 5.
The Horizon League will have a different look this year with the addition of Oakland, which won The Summit League title last season and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Also, for the first time, Milwaukee is not a prohibitive favorite in league play, as Detroit was selected preseason favorite. While the Crusaders were picked fifth, they were only seven points shy of the second position, showing that the league is as wide-open as ever in 2013.

"People said Ove saw the world in black and white. But she was color. All the color he had."
Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove
I'm not a book reviewer and I rarely suggest one because everyone has different tastes when it comes to what they enjoy reading. But I'll make an exception for A Man Called Ove.
This is a word of mouth book written by Swedish author, Fredrik Backman that has become an international best seller. It is a story of loss and love, how first impressions are not always reliable and why people should first be understood before we pass judgment. It will make you laugh out loud and bring tears to your eyes in a matter of pages.
A brief synopsis from the back cover…
At first sight, Ove is almost certainly the grumpiest man you will ever meet, a curmudgeon with staunch principles, strict routines and a short fuse. People think him bitter and he thinks himself surrounded by idiots.
Ove's well-ordered solitary world gets a shakeup one November morning with the appearance of new neighbors, a chatty young couple and their two boisterous daughters, who announce their arrival by accidentally flattening Ove's mailbox with their U-haul. What follows is a heartwarming tale of unkept cats, unlikely friendships and a community's unexpected reassessment of the one person they thought they had all figured out.
If you're looking for a gift this holiday season or just want an easy read to curl up with during the holidays, I have a feeling Ove will reward the time you spend with him.
One last passage from the book…
"To love someone is like moving into a house," Sonja used to say. "At first you fall in love with everything new, you wonder every morning that this is one's own, as if they are afraid that someone will suddenly come tumbling through the door and say that there has been a serious mistake and that it simply was not meant that you would live so fine. But as the years go by, the facade worn, the wood cracks here and there, you start to love this house not so much for all the ways it is perfect but for all the ways it is not. You become familiar with all its nooks and crannies. How to avoid that the key gets stuck in the lock if it is cold outside. Which floorboards have some give when you step on them, and exactly how to open the doors for them not to creak. That's it, all the little secrets that make it your home. "
– Fredrik Backman , A Man Called Ove"

It's still uncertain as to when, but Airgas shareholders will have the opportunity to oust three directors at this year's annual meeting should they choose to support the current $60 all cash hostile bid—for the largest U.S. distributor of industrial, medical and speciality gases company—from Air Products & Chemicals .
Air Products, as expected, nominated those three directors late yesterday, but also included some interesting proposals in its submission that may help the company's attempt to win the day. (See more below the stock graph.)

D.C. Council Opening Statements: Wizards vs Raptors, Game 30
Before the season began, progncastinators pegged Miami, Indiana, Chicago, and Brooklyn as the top four teams in the Eastern Conference. The Pacers and the Heat remain in the top two, but due to injuries, amongst other issues, the Bulls and the Nets have not lived up to their lofty expectations. The New York Knicks are a mess, and the Cavs simply stink. Detroit's splashy moves have produced underwhelming results. The Atlanta Hawks have been a slight surprise and currently sit in third place, but their best player, Al Horford, is now out for the season, and they are likely to struggle without his services.
This hollowing out of the East has allowed teams a chance to move up in the standings. Enter the Washington Wizards and the Toronto Raptors. The Wizards (14-15) sit in fifth place in the Eastern Conference. The surging Raptors (15-15) reside atop the embarrassingly weak Atlantic division, which is good enough for the fourth spot.
A January contest between clubs hovering around .500 would normally garner little attention, but tonight's game is a possible preview to a first playoff matchup. Crazy, huh? Well, both cities had mayors get busted after smoking crack on video, so anything is possible!
In their only meeting so far this season, John Wall was a beast but Washington came up short in Toronto, 96-88. A notable occurrence in the loss was Marcin Gortat ripping up a towel. Reactions from
Trevor Ariza and Trevor Booker at Polish Hammer's behavior are still hilarious.
Joining me today to discuss our basketball friends from north of the border is Sam Holako (@RapsFan), from the ESPN TrueHoop Raptors Republic. OK, let's smoke talk some rock…
Teams: Wizards vs Raptors
Time: 7:00 p.m. ET
Venue: Verizon Center, Washington, DC
Television: CSN, TSN
Radio: 106.7 The Fan, CJCL
Spread: Washington fav'd by 3 points

Q #1: In Zach Lowe's excellent breakdown of Toronto, the Grantland writer asked this question: Are these new Raptors for real? Is anything real in the Eastern Conference?
@RapsFan: The short answer is yes; these guys are for reals. The Gay trade shored up our bench AND kicked the players in the ass a bit. Since, the team has gone 8-3 with impressive wins over the Mavs, Thunder and Pacers (who they beat on the second night of a back-to-back; they beat the Bulls the night before). Being .500 at this point of the season has totally exceeded everyone's expectations, but you need to take one thing in consideration: the Raptors have done a great job of beating the teams they should be beating, having won 12 of 15 against teams under .500. In the (L)East, with so many games with bad teams, this should not come as a surprise. Also, don't be surprised if they pass Atlanta for third now that Horford went down with another tittie injury.
Q #2: Does the Raptors fan base want to tank, or go for a playoff run? Is there a consensus one way or the other?
@RapsFan: Split right down the middle. The problem is that when you take a step back, and look at the situation objectively, this team is fourth in the East with a .500 record. I'll let that sink in for a second … they are basically a treadmill team who happen to have home court in the first round of the playoffs because the rest of the teams in the conference are horrible (which Ujiri said we wouldn't be). Now, since he's only been on the job for six months, and has been able to erase the largest remaining Colangelo mistakes, you have to give him the time to execute his plan, but it leaves the fans with more winning than we've been accustomed to since Chris Bosh left. Sorry for the rant.
Q #3: In 2011 NBA Draft, the Raptors chose Jonas Valanciunas one pick before the Wizards took Jan Vesely. The Wizards added Vesely to the roster right away, but have declined a team option on Vesely. Jonas stayed in Europe for a year after Toronto selected him… How is the Lithuanian developing in his sophomore season? Is he a future building block?
@RapsFan: How can you give up on this??
But yea … sorry for that one. Unless there is another godfather offer (Harden and Valanciunas as principals in a trade, if you can believe that was an actual offer by Presti), Jonas is considered a franchise cornerstone. It's tough to get into Ujiri's head (you can't tell me anyone thought the Raptors would go 8-3 after trading Gay) right now, but to pry Valanciunas, it's probably going to cost an unprotected top-5 pick in this years draft.
Q #4: Washington is coming off a dud home loss to Dallas and the Raptors are riding high from a home victory over the Indiana Pacers. Who wins and why?
@RapsFan: The Raptor team that has been winning lately is one thats been moving the ball around, getting good looks and knocking them down. One that runs a pick-and-roll between Vasquez and Johnson to perfection. One that sees Terrence Ross shoot and slash like he was drafted to do last year. At some point, this team will stop winning seven of 10 games, and it could easily happen at the hands of a team that has Wall running amuck on offense and making things very difficult for the perimeter defense of the Raptors. One more point to consider: the Raptors play better on the road (9-7) than they do at home (6-8), for what it's worth. I realize that's a non-answer, but what I thought I knew and understood about this team has been utterly shattered over the last couple weeks. Your guess is as good as mine.
Q #5: Who are these Wizards?
@AdamMcGinnis: Pixel wordsmiths often go to great lengths in analyzing sports. Team quotes are parsed into deep meanings, insights from anonymous sources are spun to create assertive narratives, and complex data points are presented as empirical truths. I am guilty of these creative behaviors. Sometimes the simple question is the most poignant observation of them all. How good is this Wizards team? Through more than a third of this 2013-14 season,
it's difficult to come up with a concrete response. For starters, Washington is not awful and they do play an entertaining brand of basketball. The players are easy to root for and their quirky personalities do not over shadow any of their on-court accomplishments. However, they can't get over the .500 hump and as of now only possess one win over a winning team. It is a struggle to come up with any signature victories. The bench is a constant worry—now being held together by a minutes-restricted $13 million dollar-a-year power forward—and the injury bug is always lurking.
Similar to my golf game and dating luck, this team is streaky at best. The Wizards are consistently, inconsistent. They will find a way to pull out road wins that they normally would lose (Celtics, Nets, Pistons, Knicks) but then drop winnable home games (Cavs, 76ers, Nuggets, Bucks). Here is how their season has played out in wins and losses: 2-7, 7-2, 0-4, 3-0, 5-2.
The intriguing part is that this squad could end up being the best the franchise has produced in decades, or it could flame out to the lottery again. They likely will end up somewhere in the middle of those extremes, but all outcomes are plausible, which is weird to think on Jan. 3. I cannot give you a genuine non-homer answer of where this Wiz ship is headed. What does any of this have to do with the Raptors? (Get to the point, hypocrite.)
The Raps are balling these days and tonight's battle will be a good measuring stick of where the Wiz lie in comparison to the Eastern Conference contenders. Washington needs to sweep these two weekend home games—Toronto tonight and Golden State on Sunday—before they embark on a brutal stretch of six games in eight days.
When T-Dot and Chocolate City get after it, there is always potential for unpredictable fireworks. In a meeting last season, D.C. rapper Wale went after Toronto's TV play-by-play commentator, Matt Devlin.
There will be no set-up inside the Phone Booth on Friday night, and #WizardsTwitter should be full of Rob Ford jokes as the Wiz get another crack at being a break-even team.
