This series is set between Kung Fu Panda 1 and Kung Fu Panda 2.Given this series was originally scheduled for airing in 2010, this is rather obvious, but it bears stating. It would account for things like Po being so foolish at times and how Tigress is warming up to the Panda to begin the Ship Tease.
Tigress is not the most powerful member of the team.An upcoming episode has the description saying that there have been many Furious Fives in the past, and the most powerful member always becomes evil.
Mantis will perform a Face-Heel Turn.In relation to the above WMG, Mantis is (proportionally) the strongest of the Furious Five, and will submit to the Dark Side. Especially considering his Jerk Ass behavior in allowing Po to get his ass kicked while Mantis goes on a date with a girl who doesn't even like him.
The Furious Five member who traditionally Face Heel Turns......Is not just the most powerful member, but the member who feels that their strength is overlooked or taken for granted. Po's entrance into the team as a Sixth Ranger and the Dragon Warrior seems like a good impetus for one of the others to start feeling this way... However, Po's hero worshiping ways and obvious awe in which he holds everyone helps curtail the formation of such resentment, keeping the team together.
Fung's father will appear.And this will spark a Not So Different moment when Fung rants to Po about feeling like he was being forced into the family business. However, Mr. Ping was supportive of Po's dreams of becoming a kung fu master, while Fung's father obviously didn't want to see his son become a bandit. Realizing this will help Po develop an even greater appreciation for his dad, prompting a heartwarming scene between them.
Fung will try to entice Tao Tai's son into joining his bandits.After all, he seems completely bored with his Mad Scientist father and being roped into all his crazy plans, so Fung will see an opportunity to add somebody smarter to his team. (This will most likely fail, perhaps with it turning out Tao Tai's son gets easily bored with everything... or simply isn't interested in commiting crimes PERIOD.)
There will be a Bad Future episodeIn it Po sees what his life and everyone else's lives would be like if he wasn't the Dragon Warrior:
Fenghuang was so eager to recruit Po because of how he reacted to her.He'd heard of her from Shifu, and accepted that she was evil, yet rather than simply acting afraid of her, he was... well, PO. After living in isolation for so long, meeting someone who reacted positively upon recognizing her must have been a welcome change. And once she learned he was afraid of becoming like her, she tried to make it as inviting as possible.
Fenghuang trolled Po with her over-the-top Card-Carrying Villain act.It's quite strange that the first reaction of someone who claims to worship strength upon seeing a complete stranger falling to his doom was to save him. A Social Darwinist who actually means it probably would let Po die. Also note, that Fenghuang does not go into evil ranting mode unless Po labels her as eeeevil and admits that he expects himself to turn evil like her. Maybe Fenghuang tried to play in tune with the panda's delusions to obtain help in her grudge against Shifu, or just screwed with his head for lulz.
Fenghuang will tell HER side of the story in a later episode.Her version will paint Oogway, Shifu and the rest of her iteration of the Furious Five in a VERY different light. Both sides will be From a Certain Point of View, and she'll attempt to invoke and exploit Not So Different by emphasizing jerkish behavior by Past!Shifu that fits nicely with the... less than pleasant demeanor he initially had in the first movie. (Of course, there'll be more than a little bit of Unreliable Narrator on her part...)
Fenghuang will steal the mirror and use it......To bring Evil!Po back. Given this show's love of Ship Teasing, this will include him either continuing his flirting with Tigress, or shocking her by having him seemingly switch his affections to Fenghuang.
Peng will be instrumental in redeeming his uncle.Assuming Tai Lung isn't dead, and that Peng doesn't turn on Po or the Jade Palace when he finds out what happened to his uncle, Peng will either be able to get through to Tai Lung, get Shifu to give him another chance, or be the one for whose sake Tai Lung will consider making peace. He will be assisted in this by Po who seemed to find Tai Lung's past exploits cool and doesn't hold a grudge against anybody. Perhaps Peng could even help by giving his uncle something else to live for by having Tai Lung train him in kung fu. This leads into...
Tai Lung will end up being a recurring ally who will help take out various enemies when needed.Specifically, all the enemies which have been showing up will eventually band together as a Legion of Doom to take out the Valley of Peace. (Assuming they can ever agree on anything and don't come to blows over who gets to be in charge.) This could come about in one of several ways. 1) Hypocritical Heartwarming: "Nobody gets to attack Shifu and the Valley of Peace except me!" 2) Joining their band at first, only to become a Defector from Decadence because Even Evil Has Standards. 3) Joining them as a Reverse Mole (which could at first be played as a Heel-Face Revolving Door until the truth comes out). "Whose side are you on?" "My own. Which at the moment happens to coincide with yours."
Tai Lung isn't Peng's uncle, he's his father.Think about it. Tai Lung was a Door Stop Baby. How can he have had a sibling that would even know who he was? There's the possibility that Peng is Tai Lung's illegitimate child, and that his mother told him he was his uncle instead, presumably to hide the truth, along with other details of who Tai Lung was, out of shame.
Po is developing an Inferiority Superiority Complex because he's become the Dragon Warrior.For years, he's built up this idealized image in his head of being the perfect warrior made of awesomeness... yet he also believed he wasn't really good enough to ever come close to that. Now, he's obtained that lofty title, and has been learning he's got the potential to live up to it... yet he's also finding it takes MUCH more hard work than he ever expected. His personality's in flux because he feels he SHOULD be insanely confident and proud of who and what he is, and that he SHOULD have completely conquered all his self-doubts and insecurities by now... but he hasn't. He's also learning the cost of being the Dragon Warrior. That the training and vigilance doesn't end just because he's discovered the secret of the Scroll and defeated the Big Bad. Rather, it's just beginning... and he's not sure if he can keep up with the demands. But admitting that — and potentially losing everything he's gained so far because he's not capable of fulfilling those expectations — is something he's incredibly afraid of. He didn't just ask Tigress if she thought Oogway made a mistake because he was afraid she felt that way... This is why he leaps on any shortcuts and wants to learn 'the good stuff' — so he can feel more secure and suited to his title and station.
Mantis will get a Cute But Psycho admirer.Given the series' love of Mythology Gags and references to What Could Have Been, a female mantis who's obsessed with him could serve as a nod to the discarded subplot in Kung Fu Panda 2 where he was going to get eaten. Given his behavior in "Hometown Hero", it could also be seen as a bit of karmic payback...
Peng doesn't know the Awful Truth......Because his family has kept it from him. It's a shameful family secret, something they don't want being spread around. Years ago, the sibling of one of his parents decided they couldn't care for an infant, and so left him on the steps to the Jade Palace. As time went on and Tai Lung became more renowned, the guilt of what they'd done haunted them, until they confessed to their sibling. Before they could decide whether or not to tell Tai Lung himself, events unfolded that made that even more undesirable. Thus, they kept it to themselves, discussing it only in absolute privacy. Peng has only overheard bits and pieces, and thus is blissfully unaware of the nastier details. He wants to find Tai Lung in hopes of a happy reunion, fixing his family. This likely won't end well.
There will most likely be another 'Po and Tigress' episodeShippers delight! Nickelodeon is making habit of putting the main male and female in a sticky situation, there is a slight chance that they will do it again.
There will most likely be a stud who tries to 'Woo' Tigress as a gag in an episode...and he will fail miserably.
Peng is destined to become an even more skilled and powerful warrior than Tai Lung.When you take the movie and then the episode into account, you notice the similarities throughout. Highly skilled at a young age, pretty much a natural, a prodigy. Shows great promise and develops dreams of becoming great one day. Then, when denied what they so yearned (or in Peng's case, thought he was denied) they both displayed great anger and an obsessive desire to obtain what they wanted and prove themselves. But when confronted to the truth, Tai Lung broke down and continued attacking despite it now being moot. Peng, however, saw and realized what was wrong with his actions, he came to his senses, repented and apologized. As we see, Peng has all of Tai Lung's traits, both good and bad, but showed humility, self-control, and the ability to make the right decision when confronted with the truth. Also, while Tai Lung showed a great aptitude for kung fu at a young age, he lived at the palace and thus had Shifu to teach him everything he needed in regards to kung fu, whereas Peng is already very skilled and yet he has never had any type of training. Combine those, and the potential for being even greater than Tai Lung is right there.
Just so the movies won't have to, Legends of Awesomeness will give closure to Tai Lung.Considering the end of the episode "The Kung Fu Kid" is the first hint we've ever gotten as to Tai Lung possibly being alive, if he does make a comeback, the show will take care of giving closure to his entire storyline. Namely because that way they can give something to the fans of the character and continue an unfinished storyline, and they can get away with not having to do it in the movies, where they have limited time to set up a whole story and character development. Considering the way the second movie ended, it's highly likely that the third movie will focus on Po meeting his real father and other pandas, so it makes sense that they'd want to keep Tai Lung from showing up to take up screentime and attention away from that focus.
The series really is a collection of legends....And they're being retold in the far future, well after the events of all the movies and beyond. Part of the enduring legend attached to Po is the idea that he started out as somebody completely unsuited to kung-fu; this aspect of his character has been greatly exaggerated over time in order to impart the proper Aesops to the audience.
The first season will be a massive brawl
Peng found out who his uncle was......From a soothsayer. That epic goat in the 2nd movie couldn't have been the only on in China, and maybe the one he asked left out a few details on purpose in an attempt to spare Peng from the truth, probably thinking "he's like twelve—he'll settle somewhere WAY before he gets to the Valley of Peace"
Peng will come back in a ghost episode......and will help Shifu and the Furious Five put the spirit of Tai Lung to rest after Junjie summons it for another dig at Shifu. It will be an episode made of Awesome and Heartwarming and Peng will stay at the palace at the end.
If Peng ever stays at the Jade Palace he will be Tigress' first studentA true test of a master is how they handle a student (like when Shifu sent Po to the bunny school), and Peng is a Super-Strong Child, like Tigress was. She'll probably have some good tips and exercises. Not to mention it would be quite a test to raise someone who looks so much like the one who nearly killed her and had cost her Shifu's love and affection. And is actually the nephew of said villain.
Peng is the Reincarnation of Tai LungLiterally!!! In a world where magic has been proven, such as the fluttering mind slip, and other moves of its caliber, it's not wholly impossible for the religion's belief in Reincarnation to be literal. This is evidenced by the fact that he shares his same mind set, and deeply rooted hatred of Shifu, that is quick to be set off. He looks like him, I say, completely by accident, as if the wheel of what you will be reincarnated as is similar to the wheel of fortune, chance. Tai Lung, was brought back as a child, Peng, so that he could have a restart, a chance to be innocent once again. His pilgrimage all across china, is his journey to enlightenment, in other words, it's his literal 8 fold path. When he is fully complete with his journey, he will be gifted with his past memories restored and a new way to approach Shifu, with kindness, respect, and most likely an apology. Being that he already looks like Tai Lung, he will be greeted with harshness, and fear, aiding in his journey to be restored to innocence. He will have to prove, not only to himself, and his God, that he has changed but to the people he has wronged in his past life. When his life ends, naturally this time, he will be faced before his God in heaven, who will ask him a question resembling, "Do you belong here?" He will have to look deep into himself for the answer, but maybe he will find a good one this time around.
To add to my previous WMG I say he has lived other lives before.This would account for his skills when he was Tai Lung.
Tigress has no sense of the Fourth WallIn 'Chain Reaction' Tigress makes a few comments that would support this theory. 1.) Po says sorry before he jumps off of the cliff. Tigress didn't look at him as she said "For what, oh. great." (paraphrased) as if she knew he was jumping off of the cliff. Also with all of her reaction training, the idea of her knowing something was wrong and doing nothing about it is far-fetched, as if she knew she was going to be yanked and could not stop it because the author wouldn't let her. 2.) After they fall off of the cliff they reach a ledge a little while down. Po lands safely on the ledge while Tigress misses it. The chain binding them prevents her from falling to her doom allowing Po to pull her up. Just as he begins the ledge begins to crack and she says "Oh great". She's being sarcastic of course, but not of falling, but of the fact that the authors moved her from one bad situation to another. 3.) Somewhat also proving this is the way she so casually uses sarcasm knowing she's never really in danger.
Tai Lung will force an Enemy Mine.As a counter to the above, if a villain legion of doom is created, Tai Lung's appearance will make the villains join forces with Po.
Lord Shen will come Back from the Dead and return as the Big Bad in season 3
The unseen Emperor is a human.His sister is a goose and his grandson is a buffalo, so he could be just about anything, so why not?

Francisco Liriano y Casillas (born October 26, 1983) is a Dominican professional baseball player. A left-handed starting pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates,[1] he has also pitched in Major League Baseball for the Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox.
San Francisco Giants[edit]
Liriano signed with the San Francisco Giants as an international free agent in 2000. He was traded to the Minnesota Twins along with pitchers Joe Nathan and Boof Bonser in exchange for catcher A. J. Pierzynski.[2]
Minnesota Twins[edit]
Often compared to former teammate Johan Santana, another hard-throwing lefty, Liriano was touted as one of the "super-prospects" within the Twins organization.[citation needed] In 2005, he led all minor league pitchers in strikeouts, with 204.[3] He made his major league debut in relief on September 5, 2005, against the Texas Rangers. He later joined the Twins' starting rotation and won his first game on September 30, 2005, against the Detroit Tigers. Liriano started the 2006 season in Minnesota's bullpen, but was promoted to the starting rotation in May, exchanging positions with struggling starter Carlos Silva. He won each of his first three starts.
After a 12–3 start to the 2006 season, which included two Rookie of the Month nods and a spot on the American League All-Star roster, Liriano led the Major Leagues with a 2.19 ERA, statistics putting him in discussion for both the American League Cy Young and Rookie of the Year awards, but a trip to the disabled list on August 11 left him with too few innings to qualify as the league's official ERA leader and jeopardized his chances at any such awards in 2006. On August 1, 2006, Liriano was scratched from his scheduled August 2 start because of forearm inflammation after a bullpen session.[4] He missed one start before resuming bullpen work without pain, but was placed on the disabled list after continued arm pain during his last start on August 7, 2006. Liriano began a rehabilitation program on August 22, and threw off a mound for the first time on August 30, throwing only his fastball and changeup, and said that he would like to pitch his breaking ball later that week. Liriano made a rehab start for the Rochester Red Wings on September 9, throwing 40 pitches for four strikeouts and one walk in three shutout, hitless innings. After the game, Liriano reported feeling no pain in his elbow and was reactivated by the Twins.
On November 6, 2006, Liriano underwent Tommy John surgery to curtail the pain in his left elbow. Liriano missed the entire 2007 season.
On April 11, 2008, Liriano was recalled from Triple-A Rochester in the place of injured pitcher Kevin Slowey. Liriano made his season debut and his first game since Tommy John surgery on April 13, against the Royals. Liriano pitched 4.2 innings giving up six hits, four earned runs and walking five while picking up a loss.
On April 25, 2008, Liriano was sent back to the minors after a rough start to the season coming off Tommy John surgery. In three starts, he compiled an 0–3 record with an 11.32 ERA.
After recording an ERA of 2.67 and going 10–0 in his 11 most recent minor league starts, the Twins recalled Liriano on August 1, 2008, from Triple-A Rochester Red Wings, replacing Liván Hernández in the rotation. Hernandez was designated for assignment.[5] In his first start after being recalled, Liriano pitched six scoreless innings and struck out five, recording the win.[6] He then went 3–0 in his first three starts with a 1.45 ERA and 15 strikeouts in 18 2⁄3 innings.
Liriano posted a less than stellar 5–13 record in 2009, with a combined ERA of 5.80. However, this was Liriano's first year since his Tommy John surgery that he had spent that entire year on the Twins major league roster. On June 28 against the St. Louis Cardinals, Liriano threw seven strong innings, only surrendering two runs. On August 12 vs Kansas City, Liriano went another seven innings, only allowing one Royals player to score a run in yet another strong outing. Between those strong flashes of brilliance though, Liriano logged several sub-par showings, frequently giving up several runs during short times on the mound. 2009 marked an up-and-down year by the LHP Francisco Liriano.
During the 2009 offseason, Liriano returned to his native Dominican Republic to play winter baseball, playing for Leones del Escogido. Liriano helped his club earn a postseason berth and then went 3–1 with a 0.49 ERA in seven playoff starts, while recording 47 strikeouts and five walks in 37 innings, as Leones del Escogido won the league championship.
Liriano reported to spring training lighter than usual, and Twins coaches expressed guarded optimism that Liriano had regained some of his 2006 form.[7] The Twins considered using Liriano as a closer to replace the injured Joe Nathan, but instead he was named to the starting rotation.
Liriano got off to a fast start. In Liriano's first four 2010 starts for the Twins, he posted a 3–0 W-L record, 0.93 ERA with 27 strikeouts. On May 3, 2010, he was named the Dominican League pitcher of the month for April. Through May 18, Liriano had posted a 4–2 record and a 2.63 ERA.
Liriano struggled from mid-May until the All-Star break, losing five of seven decisions. But after the break, he returned to his early season form, going 6–0 and posting seven quality starts in 10 appearances. Along the way, Liriano has posted career highs in wins and strikeouts.
He finished 2010 fifth in the AL in strikeouts with 201. He was 14–10 on the year with a 3.62 ERA with 191 and 2 3⁄3 innings pitched. He was considered a Cy Young candidate by some writers[8][9][10][11] as his 2.66 FIP (a defense independent pitching statistic) was second only to Cliff Lee in the American League, his 2.95 xFIP was first in the American League.
Liriano started Game 1 of the 2010 American League Division Series for the Twins. He received a no-decision, pitching 5 and 2 3⁄3 innings, while giving up 6 hits and 3 walks, striking out 7, and allowing 4 runs, all earned.[12] The Twins lost Game 1 to the New York Yankees, 6–4, and were swept 3 games to none in the series, marking the end of Liriano's season. Liriano also signed a 1-year contract after the season.
Liriano struggled through his first several starts of 2011, giving up 24 earned runs in 23.2 innings through the Month of April. During this period of 5 starts, he only entered the 7th inning once. Liriano met with his pitching coach and manager after these starts and was in danger of losing his spot in the starting rotation. His fortunes changed significantly in his next start. On May 3, Liriano pitched a 1–0 no-hitter against the Chicago White Sox, throwing 123 pitches in his first complete game in 94 Major League starts.[13] The no-hitter featured 6 walks, a high (although not record-high) number for a no-hit game. It was the first no-hitter for the Twins organization since Eric Milton accomplished the feat on September 11, 1999, against the Anaheim Angels, and the seventh official no-hitter for the franchise. After the no-hitter, Liriano made several strong appearances, including an exceptional start on June 12 against the Texas Rangers. He retired the first 19 batters in order and didn't give up a hit until the 8th inning.[citation needed]
Liriano's performance faded later in 2011. After an exceptional outing against the New York Yankees, Liriano left his next start on August 25 after just two innings. He made his way to the disabled list with shoulder strain and did not start another game for the rest of the year. Liriano finished the season with a record of 9–10 and an ERA of 5.09.
Liriano pitched a four-strikeout inning in the fourth inning of the Twins' game against the Kansas City Royals on June 5, 2012. On July 13, he struck out 15 batters in a loss to the Oakland Athletics, topping his career high of 12 strikeouts.
Chicago White Sox[edit]
On July 28, 2012, Liriano was traded to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for Eduardo Escobar and Pedro Hernández.[14] As Liriano struggled with the command of his pitches, the White Sox removed Liriano from the rotation in September.[15]
Pittsburgh Pirates[edit]
Liriano agreed to a two-year contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates on December 21, 2012.[16] The contract was voided shortly after as Liriano suffered an injury to his non-throwing arm and failed his physical.[17] A new two-year deal was reached between the Pirates and Liriano and became official on February 8, 2013.[18] Liriano started the 2013 season on the Pirates's 15-day disabled list.[19] Liriano made his debut on May 11 against the New York Mets. Liriano's improved command by changing his pitching mechanics has led to a 16-8 record as of the date of September 25.[15] In the Pirates' first playoff game in 21 years, Liriano gave up one run and four hits in 7.0 innings while earning the win as the Pirates defeated the Reds 6-2 in the NL Wild Card game. Near the end of his second year with the Pirates, Liriano scored his first ever run on September 27, 2014, in the 161st game of the season against the Cincinnati Reds.
Pitching style[edit]
Liriano is a four-pitch pitcher. To left-handed hitters he throws a four-seam fastball, a two-seam fastball (both averaging about 93 mph), and a slider (mid 80s). Against right-handers, he adds a mid-80s changeup. More than half of his pitches with 2 strikes are sliders, perhaps due to the relatively high whiff rate — 43% over his career.[20] He has one of the league's highest whiff rates on a slider with 2 strikes.[21]
Liriano has been a strikeout pitcher throughout his career, averaging better than one strikeout per inning through September 2012.[22]

St. Mary Cathedral Parish at 219 Seymour Avenue, Lansing, MI 48933 US - Our Church History
|Our Church History
Lansing was platted out as a city of Michigan in 1847. Mass was celebrated for the first time in the log home of Thomas and Eleanora Saier. The Saiers later donated land on Chestnut Street for a church to be built.
It was begun in 1856 and dedicated in 1864. In July, 1857, the Catholics in Lansing were placed under the care of the parish of the Annunciation at Corunna. In 1866, Fr. Louis Van Driss became the first resident priest in Lansing. In 1872, a school was opened. In 1874, three Sisters of Charity came to staff the school. Fr. Lafayette Isadore Brancheau came in 1897. A new temporary church and hall were built in 1904 on Walnut Street.
The present cathedral was begun in 1911 and dedicated to Mary under the title of "Immaculate Conception" on December 8, 1913. In 1937, St Mary Church became the Cathedral for the Diocese of Lansing.
A new parish center was built under the pastorate of Msgr. James A. Murray. It was dedicated by Bishop Kenneth J. Povish in July, 1995. On January 27, 1998, Msgr. James A. Murray was ordained Bishop for the Diocese of Kalamazoo and Msgr. Michael D. Murphy became rector of the Cathedral Parish.
On June 21, 2009 Holy Cross Parish in Lansing closed and merged with St. Mary Cathedral. Effective July 1, 2009 Msgr. Murphy retired and Msgr. Bernard Reilly was named rector for St. Mary Cathedral.
In December 2012 the Cathedral Parish began a year long celebration for the 100th Anniversary of the consecration of this Cathedral building. The cornerstone of the church was laid on July 4, 1911. The Cathedral was consecrated on December 8, 1913. Monthly mini-celebrations are planned through December 2013.

Curry on the beach
Advantages: Fantastic food, setting and atmosphere
Disadvantages: None
...If you fancy a completely different dining experience then you must try this curry on the beach at Barricane Beach, Woolacombe. Barricane Beach is a small shingle beach which is situated just round the corner from the main Woolacombe Beach on the way to Mortehoe and is accessed by a steep slope and some steps off the main road. This is one of my favourite beaches as I do prefer shingle...

At this point, the game of cat and mouse that the Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers are playing is growing old.
That's because the much talked about deal that would send Andrew Bynum back to the Lakers and Pau Gasol to Cleveland has once again stalled.
With a Monday deadline (assuming the team that trades for Bynum plans on waiving him), a deal is beginning to seem very unlikely, according to sources close to the talks.
Though the discussions have been varied and both sides considered numerous possibilities, the central issue never wavered, sources said.
The Lakers wanted more than just salary savings that trading for Bynum and waiving him would bring, primarily a young player or valuable draft pick. Trading for and cutting Bynum had the potential to save the Lakers more than $20 million in salary and luxury taxes. The Cavs, who stood to add millions to their own payroll with the deal, have resisted meeting the price because Gasol will be a free agent at the end of the season.
Latest update w/ @WindhorstESPN. Cavs-Lakers failed to reach a deal by end of the weekend. Talks expected continue as Cavs weigh other deals
— Ramona Shelburne (@ramonashelburne) January 6, 2014
The Lakers just seem to want too much and the Cavs just won't budge on giving up any additional key pieces (such as a first round pick, Anthony Bennett, Dion Waiters or Anderson Varejao).
Cleveland could very well turn the other way and send Bynum to the Utah Jazz for veteran swingman Richard Jefferson, which has already been rumored, but again whoever trades for Bynum would more than likely want to waive him by January 7 th to avoid having to pay him the $6.2 million left on this season's contract.
Either way, no matter who trades for Bynum, he'll be cut pretty soon. Then again, the Cavaliers could just go ahead and simply waive Bynum without having to find a trade partner. However, if Bynum is getting traded, it's going to happen some time today.
Now we wait. Again.

Thousands rally in Karachi for Malala, 14-year-old Pakistani girl shot by Taliban
(Photo: Rizwan Tabassum / AFP - Getty Images)
KARACHI, Pakistan — Tens of thousands rallied in Pakistan's largest city Sunday in support of a 14-year-old girl who was shot and critically wounded by the Taliban for promoting girls' education and criticizing the militant group.
The demonstration in the southern city of Karachi was by far the largest since Malala Yousufzai and two of her classmates were shot on Oct. 9 while returning home from school in Pakistan's northwest.

Summer means Greek islands for a lot of us here in Greece. We all have memories of our first "adult" vacation when we took a boat to one of the islands with our friends and arrived in one of the many Greek islands and had the time of our lives. The islands are often associated with a carefree lifestyle, no need for formalities just fun. While living on an island is not all fun and games, particularly years ago when transportation was not good, islanders and those living near coastal areas are generally more outgoing than those from mountainous areas of Greece. Even their songs were more positive sounding. This was very refreshing for me as both my parents are from Arcadia which is in the center of Peloponnesus surrounded by mountains and people tend to be a bit more closed.
I remember a friend of my mom's back in the U.S. Her name was Petroula and she was from the island of Kimolos. We would always go to their house on Christmas and it was a big Greek gathering. The moment she opened the door and saw us, she welcomed us with such excitement that it made you think that you were her favorite person in the world. During these parties the table was full of food: mountains of meatballs (keftethakia), salads, cheese, lamb and also lathenia. Lathenia is a recipe that resembles a pizza from the island of Kimolos.

PITTSBURGH James K. Wiseman has resigned as Industrial Services of America Inc.s vice president and general manager of recycling effective Oct. 31.
Wiseman had held his position at the Louisville, Ky.-based metals recycler and auto shredder since 2007.
"After 36 years in the industry, I have tired of an 80-hour week and am looking forward to getting back to my own schedule and reconnecting with people," he told AMM.
Wiseman had been overseeing daily matters since the companys president and chief operating officer left in June (amm.com, June 19). A search for a permanent replacement is still under way.
President and interim chief executive officer Orson Oliver is now responsible for the companys day-to-day operations.
Wiseman has agreed to serve as a consultant for the company over the next 12 months. "I plan to help transition responsibilities to other management people in the company," he said.
Wiseman will be paid $10,000 per month for his services through Oct. 31, 2014, after which point either party can terminate the agreement. The company will provide health insurance through Cobra during the consultancy.
Wiseman will be free to pursue other opportunities in the industry if he chooses. The company has agreed to release him from a noncompete agreement on the condition that he refrain from soliciting company employees for two years after the consultancy agreement is terminated.

By 2100, the protozoa will have spread almost 300 kilometers closer to the poles
Using the data from biogeographic terrain analyses, the researchers developed a species distribution model for calculating where Amphisteginid foraminifera occur under certain environmental conditions. Based on climate models, the researchers then forecast the future range of these calcareous shell protozoa. "Amphistegina are among those profiting from the rising temperatures as a result of climate change," summarizes Prof. Langer. According to the models, the calcareous protozoa will spread 180 km (or 1.6 degrees of latitude) closer to the poles through the warming oceans by 2050. By 2100, average ocean temperatures will increase by about 2.5 degrees Celsius according to conservative estimates. Accordingly, Amphisteginid foraminifera will progress another almost 300 kilometers about 2.5 degrees of latitude closer to the poles.
Ocean acidification - survival of the fittest
"Our models are forecasting rates of spread of up to eight kilometers per year," says doctoral student Anna Weinmann from the Steinmann-Institut at the University of Bonn. Corals can spread into new territories at similarly high rates. They do, however, have problems with the acidification of the oceans that accompanies the increasing carbon dioxide rate in the atmosphere. The skeletons of corals consist of aragonite and are thus much more sensitive to acids than the fora-minifera's calcite shel

Frugal Living: How To Frame Your Art on the Cheap
Apartment Therapy Tutorials
I never quite felt like a real adult until I framed my first piece of art. All through college I pinned giant collages of unframed art to my walls like a life-size scrapbook. Post-grad, I've slowly started framing my favorite pieces, both to make them more of a statement, and to protect them from dust and the cat. Custom framing is wicked expensive, so I scour thrift stores for well-made frames with glass, and hit up my local art supply store for the rest of what I need to do my own custom framing.

I woke up knackered from a busy day before, to being served a wonderful breakfast of omelette and bagel by Luc (my friend I am staying with) what a lovely morning. So finally awake and feeling 1/2 ready I set off for work 1st stop is over to Bushwick on the J line to pick up the lighting from Mike Keane and Owen a film maker and director of photography. Getting there early as I thought I was going to get lost but I seem to have got quite used to NYC I headed up to the 3rd floor to introduce myself, having woken owen up!
But they were both lovely and sorted me out with everything we needed for wednesday, I hopped into a cab over to Chrissy's ready for a day of work first on the list we needed to walk the dogs, a bulldog who tries to eat other dogs and a boston terrier who thinks everything needs to be marked with wee :D But I absolutely love them and am sure going to miss having dogs around.
Back to the apartment armed with coffee and ready to work, firstly follow up emails to those who i met last night, a very important task indeed. Then back to creative briefs which i adore doing its like creating mini digital sketchbooks around each shoot. 2PM came round fast and we ordered in lunch shortly after we headed over to a gallerie in Bedford walking with the dogs too i have no idea what this lady at the gallerie must of thought when we are standing in her gallery with two dogs discussing the contract for Chrissy and Dans opening event there. But it was a great space different areas and a back yard allowing a great event space, with a lot of potential for a busy, arty launch party.
After the meeting we headed back dropping into the location for Wednesdays shoot a narrow bar space full of life, colour, atmosphere and best of all it was a dive. But i loved it, the kind of bar i can imagine having lots of stories behind it all. It is a crazy location perfect for the shoot and i cannot wait for Wednesday to come around for the photographing to begin!

The man I know he bids farewell to me and other men
for there are leaves to attend to
His own yard he rakes and his mother's too
because he is doing what grown men ought to do
Some say he has put away childish things
that he is growing fast and that fun is growing short
But he has always been this man
who has known when to put toys away and pick up a tool
(work in progress)
I may be drawn back here, I may not be. But this is still ever present on my dash and so it does not escape my view.
We will see.
So expect updates whenever I feel like it! Whoo!
With a will he didn't know he still had in him he rushed forward, screaming as he charged. All he had to fight with were his fist, bruised and bloody as they were. The lone reaper watched on with pity as the beaten figure before him made one last desperate move. This was it? This was what the punk, the kid playing hero had left in his hand? It was beyond pathetic.
It'd been two years since I'd seen her. I'm sure that as I get older they'll seem like insignificant drops in the bucket, but in that moment they felt more like two oceans. Two years with months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds that I'm painfully aware of. Before she left I was an actor playing the role of a better person, a good friend. I wanted to be a guy she deserved. So I told her to go for it. "Two years? That's nothing!" I encouraged her, more than that, I pushed her away. She had her own doubts, some days it seemed like she wasn't actually interested in leaving. But my constant nagging sent her off to what I told myself was a great experience for her.
To the anons, I can't say I didn't expect any hate from that post. Though do you follow gloriousfist or elemeandor or are you just tag surfers? Either way it is fine.
Like strings that form and bind the cosmos
We dance around the truth
each vibration forms something new, something else
words pushed out of our throats, yet too hard to swallow
too many dimensions to account for
tangled in a web of untruths
a new real is formed
another entity to crowd the cosmic bulk
a universe that does not obey our own
Then a string is pulled, the web unwinds, the dimensions unfurl, and the universe collapses
No matter what is lost the dance goes on
the strings vibrate and form and bind and tangle
A universe is born in the cosmos
as lies are born on our lips
I say that I write to offer a voice for others to use
that I wish to illuminate
to shed light on misdeeds and chaos
But truly, I write for me
For myself I put pen to paper, literary therapy
Every word is my voice, the inner, the outer, the past, a voice I'm trying out
Sentence after sentence, they are attempting to be heard
I'm never sure of where I want to go or what I want to say
But by the end I'm standing amongst something new
Often my voice lets me down, it happens I know
But on golden days, I'm satisfied
But they won't be on time.
I want to actually get some writing done, outside of small drabbles and such this week. Also just a busy week.

i know a lot of people on this site are very young, and they believe anyone over 20 is old.
and shailene woodley is 21. so that makes it okay to constantly harp on her appearance.
i am going to be 21 in a couple of months but i am still so incredibly fragile and sensitive and if somebody says one tiny negative mean thing towards me i crumble and am crushed for a long time.
people see celebrities as these untouchable, inhuman people. whether age comes into play or not. it just really is sad seeing so many hate towards somebody, especially one so incredibly young, because i am positive they hear a lot of the trash.
hey, sam claflin heard that a fan of thg wanted to kill themselves because he wasn't hot enough for finnick. just realize that these are actual people before you say something so cruel.

Radical Routes begin an all-island speaking tour at the end of this month to people to set up their own co-ops. They are presenting this as a way out of both the precarious rental market and the trap of long-term mortgage debt.
The tour will draw on their experience where the Radical Routes network has over 35 member co-ops. They say that "While the legal and financial structures relevant to setting up a co-op are different in the UK and Ireland, the experience learned from establishing these projects in the UK is valuable to anyone in Ireland considering setting up a co-operative and taking control of their own housing situation."

Residents of the Landing will soon have more restaurant choices with the opening of a pizzeria next door to an Italian restaurant in the commercial block that has had some vacancies for the past few years.
The City of Glen Cove Planning Board held a public hearing Tuesday and granted conditional approval for a special use permit for the take-out pizzeria, located at 5860 Landing Road, adjacent to the restaurant that is currently being renovated on the corner.
The applicants had previously come before the board to apply for the permit but had to go to the zoning board to figure out the parking variance; they said a parking study has been completed and they are ready for final approval.
Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano and new Police Commissioner Thomas Dale announced this week that they want to save almost $20 million by restructuring the county's police presence.
Mangano will submit a plan to the County Legislature that would change four of Nassau's eight police precincts into Community Policing Centers, where two officers would be on duty 24 hours a day, he said. The county executive said the restructuring would eliminate "100 desk jobs" and not change the current assignment of 177 patrol cars as they now cover neighborhoods.
Commissioner Thomas Dale, who just joined Nassau's force about a month ago, added, "This plan saves taxpayers significant dollars while streamlining duplicative work, redistributing workload and assigning more officers to POP and special patrol… Residents should know that response time will not be impacted as police officers will remain in their current neighborhoods and additional officers will be assigned to our neighborhoods."
There are easier tasks than the one facing Kevan Abrahams. As a Nassau County Legislator, he will be grappling with the issues facing the cash strapped county and in particular will be deliberating on a budget which may call for more layoffs of county workers, reduction of services and changes for Nassau police precincts. As the Democratic Minority Leader in the legislature, he will be one of the more prominent figures as those discussions take place, a position that requires he walk a political tightrope as he leads the opposition to some of those proposals while also trying to get Republican County Executive Ed Mangano and the Republicans in control of the Legislature to give consideration to his party's suggestions and input. And, he will also do so while getting a feel for his new role as he has just taken over the position of the Minority Leader in the Legislature after being chosen by his party last November. Yet, despite all of this, there is a calmness and confidence about him as he takes this all on, something that he attributes to many years of experience in both politics and finance.
Last week the North Shore School District Board of Education held a meeting at the middle school café to present the preliminary budget to a large audience of North Shore residents. Superintendent Dr. Edward Melnick opened the meeting by clearing the air about what might have been forefront on peoples' minds.
"This board has made it clear to me that they in no way wish to override the tax cap," he said.
This preliminary budget proposed a budget-to-budget increase of 1.85 percent; before presenting the budget to the board, $1.7 million in cuts were already made, and another $1.4 million would need to be cut to stay within the budget. Because so much has already been cut, and the goal of the board is to keep in line with their mission statement of keeping as many programs as possible, he said most of the cuts would have to come from staff and benefits.
As proposed, the 2012-13 budget would cut one administrative position and 15 to 19 teaching positions. Some of the other significant cuts would come from interscholastic activities at the middle school level and co-curricular arts.
On Thursday, Jan. 12, County Executive Edward Mangano announced the 'soft launch' of "Nassau Now," the County's newest mobile and web application for residents to use an iPhone, iPod, iPad, or Android smartphone or tablet to contact Nassau County directly. The government app features requests, events, information, news alerts, traffic advisories, and forms.
The system is up and operational; it is being monitored by system administrators to collect data about how the service is being used and tally the volume of inquiries being submitted through the new application. Mangano expects that there could be some 'bugs' to work out of the system within the initial 60 days, but is confident that this will streamline the process and eliminate a lot of liabilities resulting from nonemergency reports, such as a request for pothole repair. The county will assess the service in a couple of months and identify any issues with the software that need to be corrected.
Last week AP scholars from Glen Cove High School were honored at the Board of Education meeting, held at Robert M. Finley Middle School. Superintendent Dr. Joseph A. Laria and the high school principals had words of praise for these students, some who had graduated last year, others who will be graduating in June.
In new business, the board approved a new course for the next school year called Essay Writing for College for the College Bound Student. The creation of this course sparked a lot of discussion among the board members, some of whom felt that taking a course like this in the fall of senior year is too late.
"The process needs to start sooner," said Trustee Gail Nedbor-Gross, who was the only board member to vote no for this course. "I would like to see it offered for junior year as well."
From fire bombings to menorah desecrations to racist and anti-Semitic graffiti, an unsettling wave of intolerance has been spreading throughout the greater area. Local community and clergy leaders felt it was time to address the situation this week, meeting on Martin Luther King Day at Saint Boniface Church in Sea Cliff.
Mayor Bruce Kennedy of Sea Cliff called the forum together, after a rash of swastikas and other graffiti started turning up throughout his village recently. He was joined by State Senator Carl Marcellino, Assemblyman Charles Lavine, Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton, Glen Cove Mayor Ralph Suozzi, Glen Cove City Councilman Anthony Jimenez, as well as rabbis, priests and ministers from throughout the area.
While Kennedy believes that "ignorant and confused youth" rather than "neo-Nazis," are actually the problem in his area, he made it clear that "prejudice is not a prank."
An investigation is underway by the Nassau County Police Department after a swastika was found on a resident's garage in Sea Cliff. The home, on Glen Avenue, is owned by a 63-year-old woman, Detective Migliore of the Nassau County Police Department reported.
The swastika found on the garage was five by five inches and written in black marker, according to police.
The incident was a part of a larger wave of graffiti that started on Dec. 27, 2011, said Sea Cliff's Director of Public Works John Mirando. Additional swastikas and the phrases "white knights," "420," and "WK" were found in the village, say police.
The Glen Cove City Council convened in the main chambers of City Hall Tuesday night for the first meeting of the year, and the first meeting with newly elected Republican councilmen Reginald Spinello and Anthony Gallo, Jr. A moment of silence was held before the meeting began for seven people connected to Glen Cove who recently passed away.
A number of resolutions were on the agenda, including the authorization of the city to enter into annual contracts with certain professional firms; the appointment of the Glen Cove Fire Company officers for the year; an authorization for non-union full time employees to receive benefits consistent with those provided for full time union employees under the CSEA contract; and an authorization to enter a lease agreement with Proper Futbol Holding, LLC for use of the Coles School gym facilities, for a fee of $3,750 per month, plus 5 percent of net profits for a term between four and six months long. The mayor explained that this fee would cover the cost of maintenance and utilities for the gym facilities only.
The inauguration of Mayor Ralph V. Suozzi and the members of the Glen Cove City Council took place Monday afternoon in the main chambers of City Hall. Residents and local community leaders packed the room to witness this event.
Reverend Simpson led the opening prayer for the ceremony, and Adam Levine sang The Star Spangled Banner before the new council members were sworn into office by Judge Richard McCord. Democrats Nicholas DiLeo, Michael Famiglietti, Anthony Jimenez and Timothy Tenke returned to their post while newly elected Republicans Reginald Spinello and Anthony Gallo, Jr. took their oaths for the first time.

Cheers Darlings!
I feel like its been forever since my last personal written post. And I as I proclaimed before about wanting to post more in this regard…have failed my own challenge miserably. Well I am not going to be too hard on myself. For the simple fact that my blogging or lack there of was truly from being busy! Yes, as an up and coming Music Video & Film Director/Writer amongst other interest, I have been very busy! Which when creating is always G O O D!
I've been from pre-production to post-production and back again with multiple projects and its just barely July 1st! It's summer and I feel like besides the heat of the summer sun, I wanted to put more heat in what I am trying to accomplish this season. I have immediate goals for the next weeks and couple of months to come to attain. This is a challenge I welcome and at the brink of this all I have switched my work mode completely to the "New York State of Mind".
Listen if you've never lived or hell ever been to New York City you won't get it. But here is my definition:
New Yorkers NEVER let ANYTHING
defeatthem, stopthem, get in their way, or bring them down. The hustle mentality is bread in the people there and they thrive off of it. The attitude is DO IT, GO FOR IT and DO IT NOW! Whether you win or lose….
If you
LOSE, do it until you WIN, which really means until you SUCCEED.
**This must be something that's worthwhile (or fun), nothing with bad intentions of course.
It's a lead, follow, or just get the hell out of the way attitude.
If you got something to say, say it, get to the point, don't ramble, etc.
The rest of the world, especially southerners (and I swear L.A. is the South!!) take this as being rude, ballsy or cocky. New Yorkers just get to the point in a sentence or 2, instead of a paragraph. They even walk across the huge city streets of Manhattan in a fast pace, in a herd of intensity! Everyone has something to do and places to go. No time to stop, and stragglers will be trampled.
It's the New York pace…… a serious race…get it, catch it, do it… THE ALL OR NOTHING MENTALITY……It's the New York State of Mind…..!!
{a portion of my quote is brought to you by: http://www.askanewyorker.com}
I have been lucky enough to have visited, lived and worked in New York City for a collective 3 years while receiving my undergraduate degree. And during that span of time I've managed to keep that mentality as a handy tool in my life as I continue to grow, move forward in my career and meet/network with others. Having this tool is truly a life saver while living in L.A. for sure. It keeps me on my toes and my aggressive nature towards what I want to do allows me to often be ahead of the curve.
Now I am sure you asking, well if you have it already why are you switching your mode?
Well to be honest, I haven't used this tool in a while. I've let it collect dust though its not to the point of rust which I am grateful for. Nevertheless, I have falling back a little on my hustle spirit and I've even notice that I started picking up the nasty habits of Californians. You know, being more defensive, non reactionary to anything, slower, oblivious, boring…you know all the things that are completely OPPOSITE of my New Yorkers! So yes, this mindset change is very much needed and just in the nick of time!
I am in the middle of post production for 2 short films produced by my collective (Despite The Inevitable and Victorious Lola), they are headed to special contest and festivals. I have my final short film of the year in pre-production which is not even close to completion we still have to location scout 80% of the film, cast and uh yeah…FINANCE (indie-gogo campaign coming soon)! I am also finishing up my treatment for my first music video of the summer by a fantastic musician and artist Kasi Jones shooting the end of July. Moreover, I am preparing to launch my new T-Shirt Apparel line within the next month!! I am not even going to write about graphic designing projects (that's a whole other beast). Needless to say, I am and will continue to be a BUSY BEE this summer and a little help from my tool aka "NEW YORK STATE OF MIND" will get my hustling spirit and grinding engine rived up to finish what I've started and complete all aspects of these goals.
I want to inspire as I always say, because it is true. I want to inspire young people to have goals, complete them and always strive for ABSOLUTE EXCELLENCE! There is no better gratification then knowing you've tried your best and succeeded!!
Thanks for reading buttercups, come back soon!
Laugh, Live & Love,
Director Kitty xox

I'm all about this new Indy by Lee Daniels oh yeah! Paper Boy from the poster alone it looks good. That's right write so that there is no color, anyone can play the characters and it will be successful. I'm all about this life think out of the box, out of your comfort zone or what others believe is your comfort zone. The beauty of fictional film is that it can go anywhere be anything you want it to be. Written with human nature it can be translucent and transcend all races, backgrounds and colors. That's what I pray I write with, that's what I want to write like and have all these intentions. Congrats Lee Daniels! Make it happen, I'll be there to support!! Plus that Zach Efron is a cutie!! Lol

Two on top... Two on bottom!
He goes in tomorrow around 230p...
I'd like to have stuff in the house for him to eat....
Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Blended spaghetti.

Is Pedisure a good idea?
Ouch no chips or nuts!
Thank heavens for painkillers.

I would say keep bland foods and clear liquids on hand. The anesthesia and meds may make him ill and thus he isn't game to eat anything. Or, he may feel fine and be hungry and just need things easy on jaw. Follow his lead and assume that whatever you have on hand, he won't eat.

And for some reason my DD was dying for McDonald's pancakes afterwards. After the first day that was how she transitioned back to regular food. She ate them 4 days in a row in teeny tiny bites, chewing with her front teeth!
Definitely no sucking through a straw!
"That's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt."
I had my 4 wisdom teeth out 20+ years ago... All I remember was "No Straw"
Anyway she always preferred popsicles, and frozen yougart. She also would drink juices, and gatorade.
Usually a day out she would advance to applesauce, cottage cheese, and oatmeal. By day three eating regular soft food, but still eating a lot of ice cream too.
If it's wisdom teeth then each kid is different. I had mine and couldn't eat solid food for 2 weeks. I lost 10 pounds. I had a best friend get his removed, and he was eating real food the same day.
Good luck.
becareful about using a straw for anything, you dont want to pull stitches or pull out the clot.
I second the Ensure's or the Pediasure's...they will help get him the vitamins and stuff that he would normally get from his normal diet.
He did well... they ended up just pulling the teeth (extraction) and didn't have to do any cutting or sutures.
No straws tonight and he can eat whatever he feels like eating.
They took two molars on top and two on the bottom... the ones right next to the canines.
They gave me an Rx for Tylenol 3... but said he probably won't need it.
He's a tough little kid.
What was he able to eat?
Today he had Instant Breakfast and yogurt... Not sure what he ate at school... but they had pasta, so he probably ate that.
He won't be home for another 1.5 hours... So I'll find out how he's doing. He didn't text or call me today so he must be doing ok.
And a Jamocha Shake!
For lunch at school he said he ate Pizza.

I'm sorry, I should have mentioned. This will be used for internal servers, ranging from our Trouble Ticket System,
KVM IP Switches, to our IIS/Apache servers. However we are a Financial Institution, which leads me to believe self
sign certs may not be an options. That is why I need to learn as much as possible regarding SSL certificates. In the
past for my personal use, I've always used self signed, however are their drawbacks... etc..
How big is your company? If it's small and most of the usage is internal, then self-sign using a certificate authority
and then trust the certificate authority through their browsers. But if you have many external customers, then it'll
increase their confidence in your sites if you use Verisign, whether they are secure or not. My 2 cents.
