REGINA — David Samayoa's first major international weightlifting competition has been a long time coming.
"I've been lifting since I was nine, so it has been 13 years since I first started," offered Samayoa, who's slated to represent Canada at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.
"It's a huge accomplishment because of the calibre of the competition. It was my goal all year (to make it). In 2012, I qualified for the junior world championships but because of an injury I couldn't go. After that I kind of set a plan for the 2014 Commonwealth Games and the 2015 Pan American Games (in Toronto)."
Samayoa crossed the first item off his list May 17 at the 2014 Canadian senior weightlifting championships in Saskatoon. That's where he won a national title in the 94-kilogram class, punching his ticket to Glasgow.
"It'll be the furthest I've travelled for a weightlifting competition," said the 22-year-old Regina product. "In March, I competed in the Arnold Classic in Columbus, Ohio. But I've mostly travelled around Canada for nationals and westerns."
Samayoa was disappointed he couldn't attend the 2012 world junior championships, which took place in Guatemala. It would have been a homecoming of sorts.
"That's where my family is from," said Samayoa, who suffered a broken finger before the competition. "It was rough. I kept training through it with a loose grip but ended up displacing four bones in my wrist. After that I couldn't even hold a bar over my head."
Samayoa's father Jose represented Guatemala in weightlifting "for about 30 years" and competed in "numerous Pan American championships" before moving his family to Canada about 20 years ago.
Now Samayoa is representing their adopted country.
"He's excited for me," said Samayoa. "My whole family is pretty proud (because of) how hard I've worked, how committed I've been to the sport."
It runs in the family.
Aside from his father, Samayoa also has two sisters involved in the sport (Veronica and Claudia). The same goes for his brother Istvan, who won a silver medal at this year's Western Canadian championships.
"I was really lucky (to have that family influence)," said Samayoa. "My sisters and my brother, all of them started lifting when we were young. Watching my sisters lift and improve and my brother lift and improve, it started a fire in me. I wanted to lift more than them."
That sibling rivalry helped spur David to bigger and better things. Now he's headed for the Commonwealth Games, but he's not taking anything for granted.
"It feels great after being disappointed last time (due to his injury)," he said. "It's still hard to believe. But I won't feel completely accomplished until I'm on the platform competing."
Samayoa doesn't plan to stop there. He wants to continue honing his skills in hopes of eventually reaching the pinnacle of his sport.
"My furthest goal right now would be the 2020 Olympic Games," he explained. "Short-term would be to do well at the Commonwealth Games and lift at Pan American Games. I'd like to spend the next few years lifting full-time and prepare for the 2020 Olympics."
There's just one problem ….
"Weightlifting doesn't pay very well," he added with a laugh. "I work full-time. I'm an apprentice plumber. In Saskatchewan we're lucky because we have a lot of facilities to train. We get lots of grants, so we always have good equipment, but we're lacking in coaching."
While he's working to pay the bills during the day, Samayoa has to find time to train in the evenings and weekends. It can be a challenge but he takes it in stride.
"You get used to it," he said. "It's just a routine."
Samayoa is one of six Saskatchewan athletes — and the only one from Regina — named to Canada's Commonwealth Games team. The others are Brianne Theisen-Eaton of Humboldt (athletics), Alexandre Dupont of Bradwell (athletics), Jillian Gallays of Saskatoon (wrestling), Anderson Loran of Saskatoon (men's gymnastics) and Aerial Arthur of Saskatoon (women's air rifle).

UMUC on the Cover of The Washington Post Magazine
University of Maryland University College was the cover story of The Washington Post Magazine on Sunday, November 3. The feature tells the story of UMUC's beginnings as a trailblazer in educating adult students—many were returning veterans from World War II—in Maryland and with the military overseas.
The article focuses on UMUC's popular cyber security programs, including the wonderful championship run of the UMUC Cyber Padawans in the Maryland Cyber Challenge in October.
Jeff Tjiputra, coach of the UMUC Cyber Padawans and academic director of UMUC's undergraduate cyber security programs, said in the story, fittingly:
" … [UMUC] has good students. We have good faculty and good alumni.
" … Here we are."
Here we are, indeed!

The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band may not be big in size – but it sure is in spirit. Described by MXDWN.com as 'a twenty-year-old bourbon in a room of vodka Red Bulls and PBRs' - this Americana-styled, country blues trio has its roots deeply entrenched in Brown County, Indiana.
The band is made up of Josh 'The Reverend' Peyton, his wife, 'Washboard' Breezy Peyton and Ben 'Bird Dog' Bussell. So big it ain't – but its output has been massive.
With seven albums and one EP to their name and a punishing touring schedule of over 250 dates per year (after selling all their possessions in a garage sale), the band embodies a certain down-to-earth Midwestern work ethic and asceticism.
And they play from the heart. 'All the songs I write are 100 percent true, I don't make stuff up and I never have,' Peyton has said in previous interviews. 'I feel like I got to directly be involved in a song… Maybe if I played a different genre of music I'd feel like I could get away with making stuff up, but this style of music is too honest; you can't lie to people because they'll see right through it.'
In fact, everything about this band screams authenticity. From The Rev's 1930 steel-bodied National guitar, to Breezy's washboard (which she plays using golf gloves with thimbles attached) and Bird Dog's drum kit that includes a five-gallon plastic bucket fitted with drum hardware, there is a down-home rock-and-roll flavour that exudes a distinctive charm.
They're also potentially the only band in the world with a bucket endorsement deal.
Although now principally headlining gigs, in 2009, they toured opening for Clutch, and then went on to join the 2010 Van's Warped Tour where they received the Best Band of Warped Tour award.
'We come from the same tradition that Charley Patton and Furry Lewis came from, they just took off with their instruments and went out into the world to see what would stick,' says the Rev.
With a band so unique, it's only fitting that the group's name has a folksy origin. The story goes that The Reverend and Mrs Peyton's first date was at the Indiana State Fair, where The Rev won a stuffed animal. The couple named it the "Big Damn Bear" and the name of the band was sealed.
Their live performances draw people together to create a real feeling of community - perhaps it's the homemade aesthetic, the truthful storytelling, or just the raw exuberance of their music - but The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band feels 'Damn Good'.
And if you're really lucky you may see a washboard set on fire.
John Wizards isn't even a person – it's the name of a bunch of South African musicians with an infectious and exciting sound that's going to bring a smile to the Saturday crowd.
They're relative newcomers – yet their eponymous debut album last year was named by The Guardian as one of the ten best albums of 2013.
The way they got together is like something from a Bob Dylan folk song. A young white advertising jingle writer from Cape Town, John Withers, met singer and Namibian refugee Emmanuel Nzaramba when the latter noticed the guitar strapped round John's back outside a coffee shop.
The two talked about music and got on rather well.
Then nothing happened.
Emmanuel lost his mobile and the pair didn't meet again until a year later, when Emmanuel started putting vocals to John's songs, they put together a band with four friends – Geoff, Alex, Rafi and Tom – and they created the eponymous album that has rocketed them to fame… and now Glastonbury.
Playing at the West Holts stage, they'll be performing tracks from the album, which slinkily blend modern beats and afro rhythms – the new single Muizenberg, for example, mixes up dark, rumbling Boo Radleys bass, airy Smiths guitar, tribal rhythms, ethereal, angelic vocals and big blocky beats.
The band are riding high on the back of the album's success: this year they've toured up and down South Africa and have taken their unique sound to Spain, Portugal and now the UK.
After that they'll return to Europe – but for now it's Glastonbury – and its reputation for, er, mixed weather fortunes, that John and Emmanuel are concentrating on. Says John: 'I'm hoping for no mud this year – and some stories to come home with.'
But with music so sunny, no-one's going to be downhearted whatever the weather. What will the British audience make of the John Wizards sound? They'll love, says John a little mysteriously, 'the loud and quiet…'
Are they going to stay on site and see other acts? If so, who? 'Yes, we want to stay on site as long as possible. I want to see Tune Yards, Sun Ra Arkestra, St Vincent, James Blake and Machinedrum.'
And how would they have enjoyed playing the first Glastonbury in 1970, sharing the bill with Jethro Tull and T Rex? 'Maybe I could have told Marc Bolan that I'd come from South Africa, and convinced him to let me play with him on a djembe drum.'
Syd 'the Kyd' Bennett is quite simply unique. R&B and Hip Hop acts are not renowned for out gay artists but Syd is also the engineer, DJ and singer of The Internet, the duo she formed with producer Matt Martians. These are skills she taught herself as a teenager; in fact, she only started to sing at the age of 16 when she produced and wrote a song called Flashlight.
Matt started his career as a musician in college with a production group he named The Super 3. After producing various tracks for almost every member of LA hip hop collective Odd Future as The Super 3, he left Atlanta to move to LA, where he became friends with Syd, and The Internet was born.
Syd and Matt's first release was entitled Purple Naked Ladies – an album that they originally planned to release with very little promotion and never intended to perform live. It was only through persuasion from their management that they took the album more seriously and eventually released it under the Odd Futures record label.
The Internet recently released their second LP, entitled Feel Good, in September of 2013. The Guardian described The Internet's music as at 'the outer limits of neo-soul...thrilling and original. It's a dense but shifting mist of sound: snatches of vocals, meandering electric piano and guitar figures... topped off with Bennett's sweetly understated voice. The songs are beguiling.'
This summer, The Internet are embarking on a European Tour that will see them perform 12 shows across eight countries. But where are they choosing to kick the tour off? None other than the West Holts Stage, where they will perform as part of Saturday's line up.
The band is busy preparing, but we managed to grab a few minutes with Syd to ask her a few quick questions about Glastonbury in between rehearsals.
Syd, this is the first time you'll be performing on the West Holts Stage, have any of you been to Glastonbury before?
'None of us has ever been to Glastonbury,' Syd told us in a break between rehearsals. 'We have no idea what to expect; all we've heard is great things. We'd love to stay and see everyone we can see. If time allows, we will.'
And to people looking at the Glastonbury website to plan their festival, what can they expect from your live performance?
'A good time and a good vibe.'
The magic words 'soul revue' conjure up the golden era of soul music, and perhaps its greatest days – the famous revue shows of Ike & Tina Turner, for example, showcasing Tina and the Ikettes raw sexuality, and the revues of James Brown and all the Stax and Motown acts.
So West Holts visitors should know just what to expect from the Daptone Super Soul Revue.
A bit like its Motown relative, Daptone Records is a Brooklyn-based record label that for years has been fuelling a soul revival by releasing delectable nuggets of soul, funk, gospel and afrobeat.
When its acts get together to put on a show, it's a real event in New York City – an event they call the Daptone Super Soul Revue.
And now it's coming to West Holts.
This is not your average label showcase. Soul powerhouses Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings and Charles Bradley join forces with the afrobeat juggernaut Antibalas for a non-stop extravaganza featuring Master of Ceremonies Binky Griptite and special performances by the Sugarman 3 and Saun & Starr.
Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings has attracted everyone from Prince to Beck to John Legend to Michael Bublé, not to mention countless fans. They have played major festivals, arenas and clubs all over the world including The Hollywood Bowl, The Sydney Opera House and multiple sold-out nights at the Apollo Theatre in New York City.
Charles Bradley has had a remarkable, against-all-odds rise. Since being discovered by Daptone's boss Gabe Roth has enjoyed one triumph after another: a stunning performance at South By Southwest that earned unanimous rave reviews and similarly-gripping appearances at Bonnaroo, and Austin City Limits.
Through their concerts, tours and recordings, Antibalas have helped re-popularise the classic Afrobeat sound, in the process earning the admiration of a wide array of respected musicians, including everyone from Questlove to David Byrne.
The Sugarman 3 are an organ driven soul machine. Originally formed by tenor saxophonist Neal Sugarman as a Boogaloo combo, their sound is a break from typical soul-jazz focusing on the soulful funk element of organ music and avoiding the clichés which too often alienate jazz musicians from the dancefloor crowd.
Under the loving pseudonym "The Dapettes", Saun & Starr came to prominence backing up Miss Sharon Jones (on stage and on record). Though they each possess a tone and style that commands attention, together their voices complement each other perfectly, lifting their sound to elevations neither could reach alone.
Inspired by the high-energy Stax, Motown, and James Brown revues of the past, and presided over by the true standard bearers of today's soul music, the Daptone Super Soul Revue is the show that can't be missed.
Before a sold-out gig earlier this year, Seun Kuti told interviewers that 'stupidity made me start this, I have to confess, childish naivety. Because watching my dad all the time just made me feel music was such an easy thing.'
Understandable really, given that Seun's father is the late, great godfather of Afrobeat, Fela Kuti.
Sometime around the age of ten, Seun went from excited kid dancing in the wings to being a fully-fledged member of Fela's band, Egypt 80. When his father passed away in 1997 Seun stepped up to become lead singer, aged just 14.
Since then, Seun's continued to blaze the musical and political trail sparked by his dad, turning his campaigning focus to issues in present-day Nigeria. Musically, the majority of his father's band remain, as does their magic, as evidenced on recent album A Long Way To The Beginning.m
Co-produced by Grammy-winning jazz pianist Robert Glasper, A Long Way To The Beginning finds Seun Kuti + Egypt 80 in pulsating form, awash with infectious horn melodies, driving bass, call-and-response hooks and star turns from a host of collaborators, including Dead Prez rapper M-1 and Nigerian songstress Nneka.
And, while lyrically it takes aim at everything from modern corporate greed to African corruption, it retains a sense of positivity, of hope and of musical celebration. Witness Seun, stripped to the waist, drenched in sweat, leading the masses in dance and you'll realise music has become as effortless to him as it was to Fela.
Surely there can be no one better to precede Bryan Ferry's headline slot at West Holts on Saturday than Alison Goldfrapp?
In the studio, Goldfrapp are a duo - Will Gregory (classically-trained multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer) and Alison Goldfrapp (enigmatic singer, composer and producer). For their live shows, however, Will stays behind in the studio leaving Alison to bring their gorgeous soundscapes to vivid life.
Their appearance at West Holts is as close as can be to a home-town gig for the band. Alison and Will record at their own studio just down the road near Bath. 'It's a wonderful place to work. I really like working in nature, in the countryside, away from the city,' says Alison.
Goldfrapp (the duo's) incredible career has seen them enjoy million-selling albums, three number one US dance singles, a Mercury Prize nomination and two Grammy Award nominations. Successes in the singles charts include Ooh La La, Number 1, Ride a White Horse, A & E, the infectious Happiness (check out the video and I guarantee you will be bunny-hopping along!) and Rocket.
Since their 2000 debut, Felt Mountain, Goldfrapp's five subsequent studio albums have been a departure from that which went before. And with each musical reinvention comes an equally striking image change from Alison. Such is her originality the queen of reinvention, Madonna, has even been known to imitate Alison's styling!
But it's not only Alison's eclectic style that has kept fans and critics alike captivated throughout their 15 year career. Goldfrapp's musical journey has taken in dark cinematic landscapes, glam-rock inspired dance music, 80s pop music and seductive folk-tinged ballads. 'We do things quite different (from one album to the next),' Alison agrees. 'I'm sure we've made our lives quite difficult for that reason." If they'd carried on ploughing the same musical furrow life would have been a lot simpler. "But I'd be really bored," says Alison. "I've always gone with my gut instinct.'
We've been promised a career-spanning set at West Holts on Saturday night so, if you haven't seen the Goldfrapp live experience before, don't miss this opportunity. Previous visits to Worthy Farm have featured horse tails, a theremin, pole dancing, deer heads, a harp and hotpants! Who knows what Saturday night will bring ? One thing is for sure, it's going to be electric.
Closing proceedings on Saturday night is the legendary Bryan Ferry. From his glam days in Roxy Music to his reinvention as the suavest of solo stars, to his current role as muse to some of dance music's hottest producers, Ferry has maintained an inexorable cool for almost four-and-a-half decades.
Given that he's recently been in the studio with the likes of Nile Rodgers, Flea and Johnny Marr, he very evidently has no intention of shutting himself off from new experiences..
His most recent collaboration has been with uber-cool disco producer Todd Terje, with whom he recorded a slo-mo cover version of Robert Palmer's Johnny & Mary, returning the favour after Terje remixed two of Ferry's classics. He also appeared on Groove Armada's Grammy-nominated Black Light album in 2010, and earlier this month offered fans the chance to remix Love Is The Drug, proving he was never going to be one happy resting on his laurels.
"It's always fun to listen to how [electronic groups] take it in a particular direction. It's always different from the way you'd do it yourself. It's good to hear different versions of things," he's explained.
After his roaring-Twenties themed jazz dalliance, he's back with a glamorous rock show packed with hits spanning his wondrously rich career. For his West Holts appearance, expect dancing girls, the tightest of bands and a resplendent Ferry leading the crowds in a joyous singalong of hits that couldn't encompass the festival better if they tried: Don't Stop The Dance, Love Is The Drug, Let's Stick Together... and, of course, the fitting Avalon.

from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
Okay, let's review. In the past week, we've seen an Ottawa Senators player wave a white flag of surrender, the Detroit Red Wings owner accost a National Hockey League official between periods, and a usually mild-mannered Toronto Maple Leafs coach go off on the refereeing after another discouraging loss. If one didn't know any better, you'd be tempted to say that refereeing was a hot-button topic in the NHL once again. But really, are things any different than they were last month, or last year, or three years ago, or even 30 years ago?continued

Predators' A-Rad Knows how to Celebrate
by Alanah McGinley on 12/14/06 at 10:10 AM ET

From John Glennon at the Tennessean:
When he scored his first NHL goal in October, Alexander Radulov launched himself into a plane of Plexiglas and dropped back to the ice shrieking. Six weeks later, he's still bouncing off the walls. As much as Radulov's teammates and Predators fans love his scoring — and he's already posted nine goals in just 17 games — they've become almost equally as entertained by watching the phenom celebrate afterward. Until very recently, when the Russian rookie was told by one veteran teammate to curb his enthusiasm a bit, he commemorated each goal like a kid who'd somehow found a way to combine Christmas morning with the last day of school.more...

Kings have Sopel & Tverdovsky back from injury

From Chris Foster, LA Times:
A playoff spot may have moved a little further from the Kings' reach Tuesday, but full strength seemed within their grasp Wednesday. Defensemen Brent Sopel and Oleg Tverdovsky were activated from injured reserve and could be in the lineup when the Kings play the San Jose Sharks tonight. Peter Harrold was reassigned to Manchester, the team's American Hockey League franchise, to make room on the roster. "If they are both in there, then we'll have the defense we had in mind when the season started," Coach Marc Crawford said. "We'll have [Lubomir] Visnovsky and [Rob] Blake leading the charge, with Mattias Norstrom and Aaron Miller, Brent and Oleg."more... (subscription req'd)

Tough Times Continue for Coach Gretzky

Grant Kerr at The Globe & Mail writes,
Gretzky surely needed cheering up from the well-rested Pat Quinn and his wife, Sandra, because the Coyotes showed little enthusiasm playing their third game in four nights and fifth in seven. The Great One seldom appears satisfied behind the Phoenix bench these days, even though his team has a 4-3-1 record in its past eight games following a dreadful start to the National Hockey League regular season. Gretzky has a haggard look now in his seventh season as managing partner of the Coyotes, and his second as head coach of the Desert Dogs, who haven't participated in the playoffs since 2002.more...

Sidney Crosby Leading the NHL
by Alanah McGinley on 12/14/06 at 09:02 AM ET
Comments (0)
From the AP:
Nothing specific about the Philadelphia Flyers sparks Sidney Crosby's game. It just looks that way. Crosby took over the NHL scoring lead with a career-high six points in the Pittsburgh Penguins' 8-4 rout of the Flyers on Wednesday night. The 19-year-old phenom has 29 points in 13 career games against Philadelphia, including 15 in five games this season - all Penguins victories. "We saw a special performance by a special player," Penguins coach Michel Therrien said. "It was unbelievable. Sid was phenomenal." Crosby had one goal and five assists to give him 47 points for the season, three more than New York Rangers captain Jaromir Jagr.and more... From Dave Molinari at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
Philadelphia sent a fourth-round draft choice and considerations to Anaheim for left winger Todd Fedoruk last month because it wanted to add some toughness. Good thing the Flyers weren't looking to add intelligence. For while Fedoruk is an accomplished fighter and owns one of hockey's better nicknames ("The Fridge"), he apparently isn't one of the game's great thinkers.and more...

from NHL.com: finally, the NHL pitches its players!
The National Hockey League has produced more than 30 player features and TV promos designed to give hockey fans a glimpse into the lives and personalities of their favorite NHL players, including Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby, Washington Capitals left wing Alexander Ovechkin, San Jose Sharks center Joe Thornton and Dallas Stars goaltender Marty Turco. The features and promos, produced by NHL Productions, currently are airing during game telecasts on VERSUS, TSN, CBC, the NHL Network and local affiliates and in-arena. In three-minute television features, NHL players are shown at home with their families, enjoying their favorite hobbies and participating in community and charitable programs. "NHL players are exceptional athletes," said Ed Horne, President, NHL Enterprises. "But they are also surfers, cooks and dads and that is the purpose of these features -- to show how our players live their lives off the ice."

from Pierre Lebrun of the CP via Metro News,
"I follow those guys that have gone from the Super League to the NHL this year," Morozov told The Canadian Press from Moscow on Wednesday. "It's really interesting for me to see what Malkin is doing, playing for the NHL team where I was before (Pittsburgh). "Those guys (Malkin and Semin) are doing well and I think I have a good chance of doing some good things in the NHL as well next season. I will be 30 years old, I feel really good, I'm in great shape and I have a lot of confidence." He almost joined his compatriots back in the NHL this season. There was interest from several teams and Morozov agonized before finally agreeing to go back to Ak-Bars Kazan for a third straight season.more

By Alanah D McGinley Hockey blogging entertainment from this past week: From John Bollwitt, we have the question of hockey arena music -- Is 80's rock the only way to go? No way, says John:
To me, going to a game should be an experience. When you go see a movie, the soundtrack is part of what makes the whole thing worthwhile. When the movie is tense, the music reflects it. When it's a party scene, then the music takes on the vibe. You don't get to that pinnacle point in the plot and say, "Ok, bring on the AC/DC and Guns n' Roses!"

The game and players have changed over the years, but have you ever thought how one player would work with the other? It got us to thinking, so we want to give you the chance to pick your top line of all time. Using a pool of 50 forwards selected by our NHL experts, drag and drop where you want each player on each line.continued... but do note they allow you to put the players at any position.

The first room they gave me had a stopped up toilet. Upon failure to fix it they assigned me to a room across the hall. The bathroom light did not work properly.

We travel alot and just wanted a place to stop for the night. First room smelled of smoke so bad we thought it was on fire. We asked for another room and finally got one after manager said we didnt specify smoking or nonsmoking. After looking in the small room they had for breakfast that night, we dicided to just sleep and get out as soon as we could. Shower trickeled out and some of lights did not work in the room. Sad, it seems like it could be a halfway decent place but they dont seem interested in putting any money back into it.

Smart managers seek ideas from people unlike themselves
"Lisagor: Are you missing your mission?"
As the father of two daughters, I am sensitive to the glass ceiling that can prevent some people from sitting at the executive table. I remember questioning why so few women and minorities held senior positions in the past century. I recently wondered if I needed to update my perspective; perhaps the glass-ceiling problem had gone away.
I Googled several corporate, government and minority-owned small-business Web sites to take an unscientific look at the composition of their senior management teams.
I found few surprises. A middle-aged white, bald guy like me would probably be welcome, but I'm not sure my daughters would. And minorities were also visibly absent.
If an invisible barrier still prevents certain individuals from moving up, an equally disturbing barrier must prevent some people from looking down. After all, one person's glass ceiling is someone else's glass floor.
When senior managers peer down into their agencies or companies, what do they see? Do they perceive the untapped potential of all their employees or only a narrow spectrum of possibilities that fall within their comfort zone?
It takes patience and a willingness to grow for leaders to embrace a broader set of individuals, especially if those people don't always think like they do.
An enlightened manager realizes that stronger unity exists within diversity. A group of people who think alike and look alike at the expense of others often achieves less meaningful results.
On the other hand, leaders who appreciate the value of different life experiences, surround themselves with many types of individuals and encourage dissenting views are usually rewarded with greater success and personal satisfaction.
Sometimes, I encourage my clients to view their organization as a circle of individuals with unique responsibilities rather than a rigid hierarchy.
Clearly, some individuals' roles are to provide leadership. But if leaders are stymied by cultural and communications barriers, everyone suffers.
It took me some time to overcome my tendency to avoid dealing with staff members who were more serious than I am. Unfortunately, that was almost everyone.
I finally gained the wisdom to understand how much I could learn from others, especially people who weren't similar to me, and the courage to give them the opportunity to grow.
Enlightened management requires a willingness to see beyond our own limitations. It is less about self-advancement and more about helping others.
Ultimately, that is the best way to help ourselves.

New chairman for Stobart Group
Published at 07:47, Monday, 21 January 2013
Stobart Group's chairman is stepping down.
Non-executive chairman Rodney Baker-Bates has announced his plans to retire with immediate effect and will remain on the board until March.
Deputy Chief Executive Avril Palmer-Baunack, who took up the role following the group's acquisition of Autologic last year, has now been appointed as Executive Chairman will immediate effect.
Chief executive Andrew Tinkler said: "Rodney has been an outstanding chairman through a period of significant change and development for the group. As a highly experienced public company chairman he has served with great steadiness and distinction.
"To meet the challenges and opportunities within our strategy the board now believes it is appropriate that Stobart is headed by an executive chairman. In the relatively short time that she has been with the group, Avril has demonstrated to the board that she is the right person to carry out this demanding role.
"We look forward to supporting her leadership and I personally look forward to continuing to work with Avril to deliver the inherent value of our business."

It's not unusual for celebrities to voice famous cartoon characters.
We've already provided a list of 21 stars who you may not realize are behind such animated creations as Rapunzel, Donnie Thornberry and Brother Bear on The Berenstain Bears.
But celebrities who look like cartoon characters?
That may be a little less common.
But there are plenty of examples out there, from a beloved pop singer who resembles a beloved mass murderer to the mother of a reality star who looks a lot like a really mean octopus.
Seriously. A LOT.

So we loaded up some water, sandwiches, snacks and hiker umbrellas in our pack. Then climbed aboard the local bus system; which dropped us off right at the trialhead. This whole adventure cost us $4 round trip in travel expenses.
Exploring the local Quinault trail systems is a perfect way to spend any spring day. Found more spring flowers than we could even count. Most of which were Trillium's; which were in full bloom. The sounds of birds echoing through he forest was also a highlight. Even got 'buzzed' by a few humming birds.
Finished the day with a picnic lunch on the Lake Quinault waterfront in the sun. Then we loaded back on the late afternoon bus to take us home. Looking at the Doppler once back into the safety of our domestic shelter, heavy rain system moved back into the area. We timed our adventure perfectly!

Decemberists Keyboardist Jenny Conlee Diagnosed With Breast Cancer
By Amy Phillips on May 3, 2011 at 5:45 p.m. EDT
Photo by Autumn de Wilde
The Decemberists have announced via their newsletter and website the very sad news that keyboardist Jenny Conlee has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Colin Meloy writes, "The good news is that Jenny caught it early. And while the prognosis is very, very good for a full recovery, tackling the disease will mean some intensive treatment for our Jenny as well as a lot of important recovery time."
The band will not cancel any shows, though Conlee will "likely miss all nine of our concerts in May and June," according to Meloy.
The Decemberists Expand Tour Again
By Tom Breihan on April 18, 2011 at 2:40 p.m. EDT

If you had started out your year by releasing your first-ever number one album, you'd probably want to spend the rest of the year on tour, playing for all the people who bought your record. The Decemberists are doing exactly that. The band has already been on the road ever since releasing The King Is Dead back in January, and they've just announced a fresh round of North American tour dates. This one will carry them through to August, and it includes stops at festivals like the Newport Folk Festival and Outside Lands.
Below, we've got all the band's tour dates, as well as their video for "This Is Why We Fight".

Vevo has the video for "This Is Why We Fight", a strummy strummer from the Decemberists' latest, The King Is Dead. The video is something of a super-serious affair, with well-shot footage of young adults and children dressed in old-timey, Decemberist-y military garb dealing with the trials of the battlefield with looks of hopeless ennui. Check out the video below.
Decemberists Add Dates, Plan Record Store Day EP

After scoring a Billboard #1 earlier this year with The King Is Dead, the Decemberists are rolling straight on ahead, touring heavily for the first half of the year. The Portland band just announced a fresh round of North American dates, including a few shows with Best Coast. They're in Europe right now, and they're also planning to stop at a few festivals in the months ahead. We've got their dates below, as well as a video of them playing the King Is Dead track "Down by the Water" with guest Gillian Welch on "Conan".

The Decemberists: Cuyahoga (R.E.M. cover) (Live on KCRW)
Folksy literate types the Decemberists recently stopped by KCRW's "Morning Becomes Eclectic" program to perform a mini-set. They played a few tracks from the recent chart-busting The King Is Dead LP as well as a cover of R.E.M.'s "Cuyahoga", from 1986's Life's Rich Pageant. The cover is rather fitting, considering that R.E.M.'s Peter Buck worked with the band on The King Is Dead.
Check out the "Cuyahoga" cover above, and watch the Decemberists playing "Down by the Water" on KCRW below, along with the band's tour dates. Watch or listen to the entre KCRW session here.
The Decemberists Extend Tour

Their new album The King Is Dead debuted at a mind-boggling number one on the Billboard 200, and now the Decemberists are preparing to tour even harder. After the band gets back from Europe in April, they'll continue a long trek across North America, which includes stops at festivals like Sasquatch!, the New Orleans Jazzfest, and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. We've got all their dates below.
On Friday night, the band stopped by Chicago's Riviera Theatre, with Baltimore duo Wye Oak opening. Photographer Joseph Mohan was there to document it. We've got a few photos after the jump, and head over to our photo book for a set of full-size shots of both bands. Also, stop by our Facebook page for even more photos.
Watch: The Decemberists on "Yo Gabba Gabba"
By Larry Fitzmaurice on February 2, 2011 at 3:35 p.m. EST

Colin Meloy and his chart-topping band of folk-poppers in the Decemberists contributed a song to a forthcoming episode of the Nick Jr. kids show "Yo Gabba Gabba", and Rolling Stone has the clip of the band's contribution. Unlike previous show guests like the Flaming Lips and Mos Def, the Decemberists don't physically appear on the show, but they do lend the whimsical, piano-led "The Great Outdoors" to a cartoon about how "animals have a home of their own." From the song title alone, you can probably guess where that home is. Check out the clip below.
The Decemberists Have the Number One Album
By Larry Fitzmaurice on January 26, 2011 at 9:50 a.m. EST
Photo by Autumn de Wilde
The Decemberists' latest, the countrified The King Is Dead, is the number one album in the U.S. this very moment. According to a press release, 93,567 copies were sold last week. Pretty cool that an indie-folk-leaning outfit named after a Russian uprising can hold the top spot on the Billboard 200 these days. And pretty amazing considering that their last album, 2009's The Hazards of Love, sold 19,000 in its first and biggest week, according to Billboard.
Hear the New Decemberists Album Now
By Tom Breihan on January 3, 2011 at 10:40 a.m. EST
The King Is Dead, the country-informed new album from eloquent indie all-stars the Decemberists, drops January 17 in Europe via Rough Trade and a day later in North America via Capitol. Right now, though, you can hear the whole thing over at NPR Music's website; click here to stream it.

Even when frontman Colin Meloy grows his mutton chops all the way out Wolfman-style, very little about the Decemberists screams "Deadhead". But people can surprise you. On their new 7" single, the Decemberists cover the Grateful Dead's "Row Jimmy".

Some friends of ours gave us a week at the Bali Hai Villas, where they own a time share, as a gift for our fifth anniversary. The villa was inviting, the beds comfy, and the kitchen spacious. We enjoyed coffee on our porch every morning looking out at the mountains. Our only complaint was the lack of air movement at certain points during the day. We knew going in that the villas were not air conditioned, but we assumed they would have more fans or window units. It was fine during the cool evening hours, but during the day the villa got pretty warm. Otherwise, the staff was incredibly helpful, the pool was perfect, and the location could not have been better for getting to the beautiful north shore beaches and the trail head for the Napali Coast hike.

What a beautiful day! Brian and I got up and ran our last "Kona Run". Very pretty today along with calm winds. I did our laundry packed up our belongings for our move to our most favorite island of Kauai. We planned to leave our resort at 10:00 am but ended up heading out about 9:30 am since we were ready to go. Stopped for a couple last pictures …
Messing about in the ocean
We headed out the door around 8am in the direction of Hanalei and parked up at the end of the road. After a leisurely walk on the beach, we set up camp near the rocks by the lagoon. The morning was spent messing about in the water and looking for Humuhumunukunukuapuaa. I found two, but they were being a little elusive.

I worked at Verizon Wireless full-time (more than 10 years)Pros
Working for Verizon Wireless was great for the first 5 years. The company really took care of their employees for benefits. The job can be incredibly stressful but you are payed well for what you do. We received bonus payouts each year based on performance as well. This was great because they paid them around same time as tax returns and this meant you could get yourself something nice each year as a kind of reward for your hard work. Overall the company afforded me a house and a bike and furnishings for inside. I would take the position again in an instant. I would however attempt to get off the phones much earlier on in my career.Cons
The customers control how you do your job. You are put on warning based on how you are surveyed. The customers receive a survey after calling in and if your not having a good month of surveys it can cause you issues down the road. I can say I never had any problems with the surveys personally but I saw a few of my friends become sick over the system. Due to the stress of the job about 50% of my fellow employees were all on some form of medication and or going to a doctor for FMLA leave due to the stress. I worked with the company for 10 years and it has taken a toll on my body as well. Sitting all day everyday is a good way to put on weight. Your performance is based on how many calls per day you take and your adherence to your signed in and out times along with the surveys. Customers that are usually happy do not call in as much. Mostly irate or irrational customers call in.Advice to ManagementAdvice
The direct management at my center was great. I feel that the higher ups needed to realize that allowing the customers to rate everything you do can put too much pressure on your job. I would like to see the higher ups get surveyed each day 15 times a day and see how comfortable they feel in their position. I am sure they would be sick going to sleep and waking up each night. Basically there is a large disconnect like in all major businesses with the workers and the higher ups.RecommendsNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEO

Why Debbie Story chose Old Town
Dave & Debbie have been visiting Utah for almost 40 years. In 2010, their daughter moved to Park City where she resided for 2 years. The family fell in love with this mountain resort. While visiting in September 2013, they chose this home because it is ideally located in Old Town and convenient to the resorts, Main Street and City Park. It is an awesome home away from home!

from Ian Mendes of Sportsnet, As for those media members who are suggesting that his presence tonight will be a major distraction, I have a simple question for you: Who controls the stories that are published on a daily basis? Last time I checked, those of us in the mainstream media dictate the major hockey stories of the day. So what if we decided that for the next 12 hours, we wouldn't report on the CBA negotiations? What if we focused all of our attention on the Hall of Fame inductees for just one night? Let's celebrate how special this is for Mats Sundin, to have his induction ceremony in the same city as he played in for so many years. Let's re-live the brilliance of Pavel Bure once last time, while honoring the understated dominance of Joe Sakic and Adam Oates. And for those of us who have had the pleasure of knowing Roy MacGregor, we should have countless stories to tell about his induction into the media wing of the Hall of Fame. There is no shor...
