Spikes are occurring when new defensive schemes meet quality rosters (especially defenses)
meet disciplined coaches that demand a lot from their players.
Fortunately or unfortunately, this type of coach has a short shelf life usually.
Look at Ken Hitchcock with Brian Elliott. Dave Tippett with Mike Smith recently.
Only sustainable if adjustments are made and/or players actually enjoy the stifling lack of creativity, etc.
Is it correct to say that Lundqvist won his Vezina when he had exactly that kind of coach?

Zyna Baby is all sugar and spice and everything nice, but it appears that she is more often than not a very naughty little American brunette. As you can see by these photos, she is a submissive girl always in need of discipline by Doms and Femdoms.
Zyna Baby is 5'5 and 114 pounds and she has a small pair of breasts and a terrific and spankable pair of butt cheeks. She looks very young and I was surprised to find that she was born on November 20, 1981, which means she is at least thirty years old. Still, she is one very cute babe.

After 25 years in that world, I am now retired.
I can find humor in almost anything. And I'm likely to just say it in most circumstances. Anybody who can make me laugh is my friend for life. I like all kinds of humor, ranging from slapstick to Seinfeld.
I also like finding out new things and especially like living in a time of iPhones and computers, where any fact is findout-able in less than 90 seconds.
Lastly, I am 69-but not really. Think of me as more like 59, because I didn't get married and have children (or even think about it) till I was 40.
Now, turned out to be the best thing I ever did and I'm deeply grateful for it. But that delayed aging onset. I spent my 20s and 30s traveling(wandering).
My two children (one of each flavor) are launched and I love being with them whenever we can get our schedules to match up.
I am (too) analytical, funny, and curious about many many things. I'm looking for the right woman to be with long term.
And going to as many art openings as possible
For their sheer prose excellence: Cold Mountain, West With The Night. Plays that are poetry: Jasmina Reza-even before the last New Yorker article.
For more general interest: one whole shelf on 1st-2nd century(CE) Christianity.
Another whole shelf on Shakespeare related.
Anything on Medieval to Enlightenment history, especially the crusades. Also the Spanish "discovery" of the Americas.
Anything on the American Revolution, or very early California history.
Poetry: I scrape whatever comes by me for nuggets. Small collection only. If forced under pain of death to name someone - W.S. Merwin.
Just finished(almost): The Crusades by Thomas Asbridge
If they mean name 6 things in my life that I like best, well..they change.

text: I've seen quite a few threads that are concerned about having /posts/ redirects on the main page and forums (for the last post info). I agree that this is less than ideal from an SEO perspective (but in performance/caching terms works well) - not least when /posts/ is in robots.txt, as all of that front page link juice is wasted. I'd like to change it so that instead of seeing /posts/xxx, I get a link that goes directly to the main /thread/ (which may then be implemented for guests only). It looks like all of the cached values in the thread table only include things like the userid, postid and so on - but no threadid. Is there a way that I may be able to make this change using templates only? If not, could it be possible using a plugin which wouldn't add too much weight to loading times. I'm guessing that caching the last threadid at the same time as the other values would be the logical way to do this. Any advice would be most appreciated .

Why University & Industry Collaborations MatterForbes
There are few areas of science and technology that hold greater promise for the 21st century than life sciences. Our ability to understand and manipulate living materials can help us solve some of the most significant challenges facing society today.In Nebraska, the life sciences industry is thriving because its workforce has a flair for technology and the state's tax incentive programs make it profitable for internationally known companies to expand. Nebraska is home to production facilities for Pfizer, Merck Animal Health, and Novozymes. The above, combined with Nebraska's major medical centers in Omaha, the University of Nebraska bioscience research centers in Lincoln, and two technology parks, make Nebraska an appealing place for the life sciences community to do business.Bio Nebraska Life Sciences Association (Bio Nebraska) was formed in 2005 as a nonprofit trade association dedicated to the development and growth of Nebraska's bioscience industry through:
• Supporting basic research in the life sciences• Aiding in the development of a highly educated work force; and• Providing a welcoming environment for attracting new and expanding businesses

In recent years, skating has experienced a surge in popularity as many Americans have recognized the ice skate as a useful tool for pre-slicing frozen pizzas. Oven-prep your next meal the fun way with today's Groupon: for $6, you get ice skating and skate rental during Friday night skate (up to a $12 value) at the Sharks Ice facilities in San Jose and the Sharks Ice–operated Oakland Ice Center. This deal will also be valid at the Sharks Ice facility in Fremont when it resumes Friday night public-skate sessions on April 1.
Operated by Silicon Valley Sports & Entertainment, the parent company of the NHL's San Jose Sharks, Sharks Ice skating centers professionally maintain solid-water rinks and facilities to accommodate a full range of activities. Each Friday night (7:30–9:30 p.m. in San Jose; 7:15–9:15 p.m. in Oakland) customers have full run of the centers' Olympic-sized rinks for public skating and fashionable displays of warm, Cosby-inspired outerwear. In addition to skating amenities, each Sharks Ice center features a full-service pro shop that sells NHL athletic apparel and other skate supplies and accessories. The centers also feature public snack bars and spacious public areas for socializing and frigid recitations of 18th-century Russian poetry. Sharks Ice San Jose also houses Stanley's Sports Bar, a full bar and restaurant overlooking the three rinks. Skate rental is included, but if you prefer to bring your own foot-blades, the general admission price without today's Groupon is $8, which still makes the Groupon the better deal. Hours are subject to change, so please call ahead to confirm.
Sixty Yelpers give the Sharks Ice facility at San Jose a 4.5-star average, 24 give the Sharks Ice facility at Fremont a rating of 3.5 stars, and 45 give the Oakland Ice Center an average of four stars. Seven Insider Pagers give Sharks Ice at San Jose a four-star rating, three more give Sharks Ice at Fremont an average of three stars, and another three give the Oakland Ice Center a four-star average. Sharks Ice has more than 1,500 Facebook fans.
- This is a great place to take your kids. Perfect spot for a rainy day or even a sunny day! The people that work there are helpful and friendly. – cindy f., Oakland location, Yelp, 01/17/2011

By Andrea Stone, USA TODAY
CONCORD, N.H. In a week when New Hampshire and Oregon moved closer to joining four other states that grant marriage-style rights to same-sex couples, gay rights advocates say the honeymoon is already over for middle-ground alternatives to matrimony.
Fewer gay couples are choosing to enter civil unions or register as domestic partners, says Carisa Cunningham of Boston's Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders. "People are waiting for marriage," she says, noting the advent of gay marriage in Massachusetts has boosted expectations. "Marriage is a universal language and civil union is not."
New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch said Thursday that he will sign legislation establishing civil unions for gay couples if, as expected, the state Senate passes it next week. "It is a matter of conscience, fairness and preventing discrimination," he said.
In Oregon, the state House on Tuesday passed a bill to give marriage rights to gays. The measure is likely to win senate approval, and Gov. Ted Kulongoski says he will sign it.
Activists say civil unions have a mixed track record:
•Vermont. In 2000, when it became the first state to create civil unions that extend the rights and responsibilities of marriage, 2,091 couples — most from out of state — flocked to sign up. Last year, 548 couples did. The biggest dropoff came in 2004, the year gay marriage began in Massachusetts.
•Connecticut. From October 2005 to December 2006, just 1,330 gay couples, or 18% of the same-sex couples counted in the 2000 Census, got civil unions.
"We really don't want to be put into our own category and have the potential to be discriminated against," said Matthew Morgan, 28, of New Haven. He and his partner, Whitney Easton, 28, decided against a civil union.
•New Jersey. Of the 219 couples who entered civil unions in the month after they became legal in February, more than one in 10 have complained of unequal treatment by employers, insurance companies or hospitals, says Garden State Equality, a gay rights group.
"Under federal law, the two people in a civil union are legal strangers," says Connecticut state Rep. Mike Lawlor, who supports gay marriage.
The push in some states to give marriage rights without the name comes amid a backlash after the November 2003 high-court ruling in Massachusetts that said nothing less than marriage offered equal protection to gays. Since then, 23 states have passed constitutional bans limiting marriage to a man and a woman.
In Massachusetts, where about 9,000 gay couples have wed, lawmakers hope to place a constitutional amendment on the 2008 ballot to ban same-sex marriage and institute civil unions.
Peter Sprigg of the conservative Family Research Council says gays who clamored for the same rights as married couples are guilty of "a bait and switch." He says that now that some states give gay couples benefits, "They make the opposite argument that, 'Well, it's not really about the benefits. It's that we really want to be called "married." ' Which is it?"
In the meantime, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and New Mexico are among states weighing marriage alternatives.

text: "And as Congress takes up important decisions in the coming months, I'm going to keep making the case for the smart investments and fiscal responsibility that keep our economy growing, creates jobs and keeps the U.S. competitive. That includes making sure we don't risk a U.S. default over paying bills we've already racked up."Obama intends to highlight that progress to economists and other guests at the White House on Monday, and his National Economic Council is set to release a report detailing the economic advances. Obama planned to discuss the economy as part of an interview airing Sunday on ABC's "This Week" and scheduled a speech Wednesday to the Business Roundtable, an association of CEOs from the biggest U.S. companies. But the public is not convinced that the economy is on the mend. Only one-third say the economic system is more secure now than in 2008, and 52 percent say they disapprove of Obama's handling of the economy, according to a Pew Research Center poll. There is still plenty of pain to justify their pessimism. Despite job growth, the unemployment rate remains high at 7.3 percent. Though the rate has fallen, one of the reasons is because some people have dropped out of the labor force and no longer are counted as job seekers. The income gap between the very rich and the rest of the population is the biggest since 1928. "We have genuinely made progress. We genuinely have more work to do," said Furman. What's more, some banks that received government aid because they were deemed "too big to fail" are now bigger than they were in 2008, but they are smaller as a share of the economy than the largest banks in other big economies. Three years after Obama signed a sweeping overhaul of lending and high-finance rules, execution of the law is behind schedule.

Being very similar in appearance to the ones in the original Paper Mario, it can be assumed that they are the same species. The Deserets do not actually wonder the Dry Dry Desert, but they have set up their own civilization since Mario's last visit, namely a city called Sahkala, a brisk trade with the neighboring areas, advanced technology, a fair law system, a source of agriculture and irrigation, and many other elements of civilization. Mario and co. visit this city in Chapter 3 when it is under attack from Empress Timeblazera's minions.

OSTI's Amazing Dr. Watson
by Kathy Chambers 17 Apr, 2013 in Products and Content
During the past year, Dr. William N. Watson, physicist, of DOE/OSTI's staff has posted quite a few very interesting white papers in OSTI's monthly Science Showcase on OSTI's Home Page. This quiet, unassuming man crafts prolific papers on popular science topics of interest to the Department of Energy (DOE). He investigates and assimilates this information from OSTI's extensive R&D Collections and takes us on a layman's journey through the technical details and scientific research that make it all possible.
William's papers have helped us to understand key technologies developed at DOE Laboratories for the Mars Science Laboratory's Curiosity and how chemical analysis of rocks and soil is determined millions of miles away. We know what is happening with new heat pump technology and how DOE researchers are working to improve designs and efficiency. The coherence of galaxies and dark energy and dark matter has been explained and the exciting research that is changing what we know about the world around us. William has given us an in-depth overview of the unique capabilities of metamaterials and how DOE research is eliminating the technical obstacles to their production and use in new devices. We have learned about the development of quantum computing and its capability to solve practical problems not possible with present-day computers. We know how...

Powering Curiosity; Exploring New Horizons - DOE's MMRTG
by Mary Schorn 09 Aug, 2012 in Products and Content
DOE's RTG is doing it again. The Department's Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (MMRTG) is providing continuous power to the Mars rover Curiosity. This radioactive power source is "essentially a nuclear battery that will operate the rover's instruments, robotic arm, wheels, computers and radio. It is fueled with plutonium-238 that gives off heat as it naturally decays. No moving parts are required to convert this heat into electricity."1
The MMRTG "can go farther, travel to more places, and power and heat a larger and more capable scientific payload compared to the solar power alternative NASA studied. The radioisotope power system gives Curiosity the potential to be the longest-operating, farthest-traveling, most productive Mars surface mission in history." 1
With the Curiosity safely on Mars, it begins its mission to explore and investigate "whether conditions have been favorable for microbial life and [to] preserve clues it finds in the rocks. Curiosity will analyze dozens of samples drilled from rocks or scooped from the ground as it explores with greater range than any previous Mars rover."1
"For 50 years, radioisotope power sources have safely and reliably fueled dozens of U.S. missions to explore seven planets in the solar system, including the [current] New Horizons mission to Pluto as well as Apollo, Voyager, Galileo and Cassini missions. Radioisotope power systems have a record for reliability and longevity unmatched by any other NASA spacecraft power system."1
The New Horizons spacecraft is about half way between Earth and Pluto with...

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) recently developed fair and transparent guidelines that will help ensure regions are able to build the transmission they need to meet consumer demand and reliability needs, while also meeting the clean energy policy goals set forth by more than half of the states in the nation.
While leaving the details of how transmission is planned and paid for up to each individual region, FERC's new rule is focused on ensuring those who benefit from new electric transmission facilities pay for those facilities, while also protecting those who don't benefit from bearing the costs of any transmission they do not benefit from.
The FERC rule will provide the tools needed by the industry and its customers to strategically and efficiently plan and build urgently needed transmission upgrades by:
- Expanding the geographic scope of regional planning processes;
- Considering public policy objectives, such as state clean energy standards, in planning activities;
- Facilitating planning efforts between various regions.
- Requiring transparency and access to information to allow stakeholders to understand the benefits of proposed facilities and to determine if their needs are being addressed in a cost-effective manner
- Evaluating both transmission and non-transmission solutions as part of the planning process.
These measures build upon transmission planning reforms already initiated in many regions , accelerating progress toward:
- Opening energy markets to deliver cheaper forms of power to consumers;
- Ensuring the grid is more reliable;
- Providing greater access to domestic energy resources;
- Providing balanced benefits to customers across the entire region – not artificially drawing boundaries at state lines that are inconsistent with the basic laws of physics; and
- Identifying transmission projects that provide multiple benefits to businesses and residents.
Altogether FERC's new rule continues the evolution of our grid toward a more robust and strategically planned network that accommodates current sources of power, and the energy mix the nation will use in the future. These simple reforms have the power to unlock the nation's domestic power sources and provide cleaner, cheaper forms of energy to every American.
While FERC has provided fair guidelines for regions to move ahead with transmission investments, some have voiced opposition to rational measures that will modernize our energy grid. These opponents support legislation that will stymie investments in or grid at a time when our country needs infrastructure investments more than ever. Policymakers should reject these backward-thinking proposals and allow the regions, with FERC's help, make the best choices about how to modernize our nation's energy grid.
Who would want to block transmission investments?
Incumbent monopoly utilities that operate – and gouge captive customers – in uncompetitive energy markets. That's who.
New transmission would give their customers access to new sources of power, competitive energy markets, and lower prices. This is not welcome news for a number of utilities that are making huge profits from congestion costs and closed markets that allow them to hike up electricity rates without any consequences.
A small but powerful group of utilities is working to block transmission development by meddling with regional agreements that determine how the electric grid is paid for. This group strongly backs a bill introduced by Senators Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) that would amend the Federal Power Act by prohibiting FERC from finding any electricity rate "just and reasonable" unless the cost allocation among consumers is "reasonably proportionate to measurable economic or reliability benefits."
This backward-looking measure would halt all investment in the grid – investment that leads to economic activity, jobs and access to cheaper forms of power. Transmission projects would be subject to an unprecedented and unworkable "test" that would arbitrarily invalidate painstakingly negotiated regional cost allocation formulas put in place by regional stakeholders throughout the country. It would force a one-size-fits-all doctrine, and reverse more than five years of stakeholder involvement and majority consensus on cost allocation in the Midwest and other regions.
At a time when the American economy is struggling and infrastructure projects are needed, now is not the time to stymie private investment in our electric grid. The nation's energy future awaits.

Effective contact management can make a huge difference in your ability to recruit new distributors to your business opportunity. I've taken some time to look through some of this year's top apps for managing your contacts. Keep reading to see details about my picks for iPhone and Android, and for Party Plan specific contact management (available on both iPhone and Android).
V Creator MLM
(Available for $9.99 from iTunes)
V Creator is a contact management app. With it you can add contacts to two prioritized lists, input information about each contact for filtering purposes, and store notes to help you keep track of your relationships.
The first feature that catches my eye about this app is the option to track rejections. You can keep records of who rejected your products and who rejected your business opportunity. In many classes for sales training, there is an activity that helps sales people overcome their fear of being rejected. Often trainers send participants out into public to practice their pitch and collect a goal number of "no" responses. This activity trains the mind to overlook the "no" and instead analyze the possible objections and help customers overcome those objections to say "yes". This app not only helps you track who the "no" comes from, but it also lets you track the number of "no" responses you receive in a day.
The second feature I like about this app is that includes tracking for your goals and dreams. It is important to have a way to easily remind yourself the future rewards of your daily activities. Keeping your eye on your dreams can help you have the fulfilling career that motivated you to become a distributor in the first place.
Lastly, the contact list is a master list with several filters. You can include photos with your contacts to help you remember the conversations you've had with each individual. Adding notes and reminders to the contacts in the list will help you get the reputation of having a great memory and making customers and business prospects feel heard and understood. Ultimately this creates positive relationships that will help you grow your business.
Are you working with a team? You can export your contact list into a PDF document. Then hire a few interns and sales people to help you follow-up with the large list of contacts. The app works well and is only in its second version. They have a page on Facebook through which you can contact them if you need to. If you are a visual person, this app could be very important to support you in creating a visual contact list with important notes. If you can choose only one app to purchase for your recruiting, I would suggest this one. Try it out and comment below about your experience using this app.
MLM Contact List Creator
(Available for $4.99 from Google Play)
This android app is designed to help you create a large contact list and organize your top 30 prospective customers and business opportunity recruits. The app helps you track your activities such as initiated three way calls, number of presentations or meetings, and new contacts generated. It will give you a summary of your activities and send it to your upline. This gives you a feeling of accountability. Your chances of success are much higher if you are accountable to yourself and to others in your business. The company that created this app understood that without tracking you can often lack motivation to create new relationships and opportunities to connect with prospective customers.
This is the first version of the app, and the user interface is quite good. There will most likely be some bug fixes in the next few versions, but overall the current version works well. The app developer does provide support by email (email@example.com). Upon further investigation, I discovered that the programmers and developers also own a software system for starting up MLM's. They are located in Australia and Japan.
A small investment in purchasing this app will go a long way in growing any business, and most individual distributors will see a return on their investment within the first purchase of your products. Download and install this app today. Tell us what you liked and what future features you would find helpful in an app for recruitment and selling. Comment below!
Hostess Coaching App
(Available for $3.99 from iTunes & Google Play)
Hostess Coaching is a great way to store a list of your hostesses and keep track of the work you've done to train each one. I found this app to be very nicely thought out. It is helpful if you are planning a party. It lists a few things to remember when hosting events. The coaching steps are helpful but not extremely instructive. You will need to create many of your own procedures for planning and use this tool to create notes about the hostesses of your parties and reminders as to coaching points to cover with them. Your to-do list is customized, and this can also be helpful in managing the process of party planning.
The app has an intuitive user interface design. How you use the features will depend on your business processes. Will you add all of your committed party hostesses to the app? Will you update your to-do list daily on the app? If you are diligent in these activities, you will see the value that the app adds to your business. The developer of the Hostess Coaching app has a Facebook page where you can ask questions or make feature suggestions.
Here is a video they made about how to use the Hostess Coaching App:

Santa Clara, California – (The Hosting News) – February 6, 2009 – The release of a flagship E-Discovery search and discovery product, has been launched by protection, retention management, and discovery of electronic information provider, i365.com, Inc., A Seagate Company.
Ramon Nunez, Senior Vice President of the MetaLINCS business unit at i365 noted, "Customers continue to demand reduction in cost, risk and complexity of the E-Discovery process, especially in today's economic environment. MetaLINCS E-Discovery Suite 5 limits the number of tools and data transformation steps required to respond to E-Discovery requests setting a new industry standard for productivity. With our unique combination of professional services and technology, we believe we exceed our customer's needs for comprehensive and accurate data processing, early case assessment, and document review and production."
MetaLINCS E-Discovery Suite 5, in a single unified platform, integrates E-Discovery steps from Processing, Review, and Analysis to Production while adding powerful new capabilities for Search, Review and Early Case Assessment that extensively increase electronic data discovery productivity. These unparalleled features include defensible Pinpoint Search, Full-Function Review for large teams with fully integrated Redaction, and improved analytics driven Early Case Assessment to quickly scope E-Discovery projects. Users can now move from Early Case Assessment to full review in one common user interface (UI) by simply switching screens.
Pinpoint Search ensures in a powerful and flexible way that the keyword searches users specify are returning exactly the documents they expect, no more, no less. Many search options available today are either over or under inclusive. MetaLINCS E-Discovery Suite 5 Pinpoint Search circumvents these issues with Pinpoint Search Viewing and Pinpoint Search Selection. These key capabilities save costs by removing unnecessary documents from review, and avoiding the risk of clawback.
Pinpoint Search Viewing: During a typical search, iterating keywords for a case, matching the search terms happens in several ways. One method involves expansion of wildcards such as '*'. Another method is to find forms of the same word that match, so the word 'earn' finds documents containing 'earned', 'earning', 'earnings', and 'earns'. The Pinpoint Search viewer shows both the precise document terms that were matched by each search term and the document terms that were similar but were not matched. In this case, the viewer would highlight 'earner', which would not have been matched and yet could be important to the case.
Pinpoint Search Selection: Once the items are clearly visible, each match can be included or excluded in a simple and intuitive way with a single click. Now searches are easily controllable to a finer level of detail than ever before, and search results are defensible to the finest detail.
As an EDRM member and participant in the EDRM search project, MetaLINCS E-Discovery Suite 5 is among the first to fully support the Search Specification standard. It can both parse XML search specifications for use, and generate the XML equivalent of searches for the purposes of documentation or interoperability with other systems.
The combination of advanced automated content analysis and an easy to use graphical web UI enables MetaLINCS E-Discovery Suite 5 to perform context sensitive review. Review documents can be sorted by topic, which affords reviewers higher productivity and accuracy. Case managers can easily implement multi-pass reviews with large or small teams, through the addition of custom review assignments, review definitions and security groups. The availability of tiff images for managed services customers, and a built-in high performance redaction capability, provides translucent and opaque viewing modes for redacted documents. Powerful management features to execute and monitor the review process complete the review picture.
Early Case Assessment (ECA) provides a quick overview of the entire case data, so appropriate legal and E-Discovery decisions can be made early in the review process. In addition ECA assists case managers in scoping the electronics data discovery effort, helping to build a review team of the right size and unique skills. MetaLINCS E-Discovery Suite 5 quickly provides information about the quantity and types of documents, the mix of languages in the case documents, and confirms the custodian list is neither too broad nor narrow. Now users will have their foreign documents automatically identified and segregated at the outset.
MetaLINCS E-Discovery Suite 5 software is available as an annual or perpetual software license. First Pass Processing is available as a preloaded, easy to integrate appliance. The Full Suite or First Pass Processing capabilities can also be acquired as a managed, hosted service through the i365 E-Discovery secure hosting center, with a modest up-front investment and pay as you go ROI. For more information, go to:

Two days ago, we shared with you a roundup of estimates regarding the total number if iPhone sales in the holiday quarter that has ended. Philip Elmer-Dewitt from the Fortune publication was the one to gather all the estimates in a single place and he has did the same for the iPad. Elmer-Dewitt collected unit sales estimates from 45 Apple analysts consisting of 28 professionals and 17 independent ones.
As you can see for yourself in the above graphic, the average estimate for Q1 2014 is slightly above 25 million iPad units, which represents a 10 percent increase from the previous year, when the actual sales results were at 22.86 million iPads. We can see that the most optimistic analysts estimates that Apple will report as much as 28 million sold iPads while the most pessimistic ones say that Apple has sold only 21 million iPad units.
However, it seems that the iPads were a more challenging market to forecast, as the iPad Air didn't ship until the beginning of November. missing one third of the quarter. Also, the new iPad Mini has been commercially launched 12 days later and was in short supply.

James Hopes will open the Australian innings with Adam Gilchrist, who is playing in his last match at the MCG in his farewell ODI series before retirement.
Left-arm paceman Mitchell Johnson returns to the bowling ranks, replacing Stuart Clark.
Sri Lanka, who have been disappointing in the triangular one-day series and will miss the finals, included Nuwan Kulasekera in place of paceman Chaminda Vaas.

|Rodrigo Duterte
Malacanang on Monday said that it was up to Congress to decide on the restoration of death penalty in the country.
Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. made the remark after presumptive president Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte indicated his call for the restoration of the death penalty.
"Lifting of the death penalty requires that the present law be amended. It is best that this be tackled by the next Congress," Coloma said in a text message.
A report by Unang Balita said that Duterte wanted to revive the death penalty for heinous crimes including robbery with rape.
Since the start of his term, President Benigno Aquino III has maintained his opposition to death penalty.
In 2014, presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said Aquino "has reservations" due to flaws in the judicial system.
"Concerned tayo doon sa judicial system, hence, he [Aquino] has reservations on death penalty. To the best of my knowledge, that position remains the same," Lacierda said then.
Although death penalty was abolished in the 1987 Constitution, it was reinstated through Republic Act 7659, which imposes capital punishment on certain heinous crimes, and RA 8177 provides for lethal injection as the means of carrying out the death penalty.
In 2006, then-President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo signed Republic Act 9346 abolishing death penalty in the Philippines by repealing RA 7659.

Philippine bishops tell Duterte not to play God
Lipa archbishop says he will offer himself to be executed in place of those the government will hang
Several Philippine Catholic church leaders are tamping down the plan of President-elect Rodrigo Duterte to revive the death penalty once he assumes office on June 30.
"Only God has power over life. God gives life and God takes life. No one should play God," said Bishop Ruperto Santos of Balanga.
The prelate, who heads the Episcopal Commission for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People, said life is sacred and should be "promoted, respected, and protected."
In his 1st press conference since election day, Duterte said he will ask Congress to pass a law that will restore the death penalty for certain crimes.
"What I would do is to urge Congress to restore the death penalty by hanging," said Duterte.
He said death by hanging will instill fear among criminals and is "virtually painless (because) once the spine is ripped off inside it's over, just like putting off a light."
The former mayor of Davao, who has been dubbed "The Punisher" for his tough stance on crime, said criminals involved in illegal drugs, gun-for-hire syndicates, and those who commit "heinous crimes" will have to face the death sentence.
The Catholic Church has been against reviving capital punishment.
Bishop Santos said instead of reviving the death penalty, Duterte should instead initiate prison reforms and review the country's justice system.
Archbishop Ramon Arguelles of Lipa said he will volunteer himself to be executed in place of those the government will hang.
"Didn't Christ do that?" Archbishop Arguelles asked, adding that if the new administration revives capital punishment "Catholic Philippines will be merciless in the Year of Mercy."
The Philippines placed a moratorium on capital punishment in 2001 and 5 years later downgraded the sentences of 1,230 death-row inmates to life imprisonment in what Amnesty International described as the "largest ever commutation of death sentences."

I love a good shabby chic slip cover! My newest client has a bold fun style.
We added goose down/ cluster fiber cushion envelopes to give the couch new life. The client also wanted flat welting around her cushions.
Polka Dots everywhere!!
The finished product is a great addition to her lovely home.
I wanted to acknowledge some other things that are going on in my life. I just recently had surgery. In my case surgery was a necessary and wonderful blessing. Some lovely ladies in my church decided to help me remove wallpaper and paint my home before I was admitted to the hospital. They worked so hard just to help me out. They got into places I thought only my 5 year old could reach!

So, yes, it's true, I completely forgot to give you last week's Amazing Race Moment of Zen.
But I think I can make up for it this week.
So, let's see... what should it be?
"I'm sick of doing things I can't do!"
Nah, I think it was this week's title. Too obvious.
"Right-o or left-o?"
Nah, the "El Spanish-o" was so overdone by Charla and Mirna, that I can only hope that it was tongue-in-cheek.
Oh, here's a good one... (Paraphrased, because I already deleted the tivo-ed episode.)
"We're good Christians. We won't sink to their level."
(One breath later)
"Oh, let's just make fun of everyone. Gee, I hope those boobs didn't cost you too much!"
Nope, not the best. In fact, I don't think the best A.R. line this week came from a contestant. It came from me.
The Weavers (looking at the photo of the Paolos): "They're in front of a garbage truck! What losers. They're in front of a garbage truck!"
Me: "Still better than being in front of a racecar, though, isn't it?"
Ha! I crack me up. With my heartlessness.

All the contestants hate them, but I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt 'cause daddy died so recently.
But after them ripping into every other team and their Christian superiority complex, I've come to the conclusion that I hate them too.
My thoughts exactly.ReplyDelete
Why do people think saying "I'm a Christian," somehow makes them a better person, even if they don't act like one?
As my father would say, "Be nice, those people chose your president."
Double hah! I like your dad.ReplyDelete

John Henry annonced today that Manny Ramirez will not be playing in the WBC for the Dominican Republic. He will instead be with the Red Sox for spring training. He will still join the team on March 1st. Manny has not informed the Dominican national team nor his coach of this decision personally.

Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work takes viewers on a year long ride with Joan Rivers, the comic legend who broke barrier after barrier for female comedians and paved the way for the likes of Kathy Griffin, Sarah Silverman, and Tina Fey. As the story unravels, Mrs. Rivers talks frankly about how she got into show biz, the ups and downs of the industry, being banned by NBC late night for life, and how she will even do adult diaper & penis enlargement commercials for cold, hard cash. At the young age of 75 it seems that Joan Rivers has the energy and drive of a 25 year old, rarely stopping to catch her breath in between interviews, writing and acting in a play about her life, doing midwest comedy tours, and starring in (and winning) Celebrity Apprentice.
Next time you feel too old, uninspired, or just plain lazy, go watch this documentary for a swift kick in the ass. Joan River's drive to keep doing what she loves until she drops dead is nothing but awe inspiring. I work harder than the average joe but walking out of the theater I felt like I had to run straight to my studio and go on a painting rampage for the next 6 months. In short Joan Rivers is a rude, crude, ass-kicking comic genius and my new personal hero.
Not sure how old this video is but there are some fun candy coated motion graphics mixed in with hipster hangout action in this Uffie video.

Black Sheep: An unconventional look at good ol' family values is a compilation of interesting photos and quotes from a plethora of underground icons… many of whom I grew up admiring, and some of whom I had never heard of (but was happy to be introduced to). Oh Did I mention I'm in it as well?
Essentially, Black Sheep is a collection of photographs, stories, and reflections on family from the perspective of individuals involved in underground scenes, aiming to challenge the presumption that people involved in subcultures—be it hardcore, punk, graffiti, skate, tattoo culture, or whatever else–come from unstable homes or have poor family values.
There are over 100 contributors: everyone from Darryl Jenifer of the Bad Brains to Melissa Auf der Maur of Hole; Ian MacKaye and Henry Rollins to brothers Dave One and A-Trak. In some cases I really felt like a peeping tom looking into a window at the lives of some of the icons who molded my youth. The book is about family values: how these people were shaped as kids, and what values they'd like to instill in their own children.
A big part of this book also seems to be helping people not familiar with underground scenes to break the negative stereotypes surrounding people who are in some way against the grain. Yes, you can be a tattooed hardcore frontman who takes his kids to the park every day and has Sunday brunch with his grandmother each week. This is really "The Osbournes" meets Chicken Soup for the Soul.
Not only is Black Sheep a great book but it was also compiled by Karyn Gray, one of my all time favorite B/D interns. Karyn moved to LA from Canada to work with us for a few months and it's so great to see that she's started a career in publishing. Congrats Karyn!
I thought long and hard about whether I should post this but even after a good nights sleep i'm still angered by this video. If you're not familiar with Justin Bua he is an illustrator primarily focusing on urban imageries of dj's, breakdancers, and other various hip-hop related imagery. What do we think of his work? Well lets just say you won't find him featured in B/D anytime soon. But I digress.
We're taking a day off today but just because we love you we thought we'd share this amazing clip from Sesame Street featuring influential painter Chuck Close. Happy Memorial Day from B/D & Big Bird!
