A Summary of the Mexican President's State of the Nation Address
of the Republic
During the Sixth State of the Nation Address, Mexican President Felipe Calderón issued
a statement on the status of the public administration. In particular, he referred to the challenges encountered when he came
to office, the measures implemented to meet them, and the results obtained in the five pillars of public policy established:
public security and rule of law, economy, equal opportunities, sustainable development, and foreign policy.
and the Rule of Law
"Protecting Mexicans from crime has been an imperative for this government,"
said the president at the beginning of his message. He explained that at the beginning of his administration, Mexico was immersed
in a perverse dynamic that could be resumed as the evolution of crime and the involution of the institutions responsible for
combating it. The federal government set out to reverse this tendency, to combat crime and its causes and protect Mexican
families. To this end, an integral strategy based on three axes was implemented: combating all criminal organizations; modernizing
and strengthening law enforcement institutions; and reconstructing the social fabric.
As part of the first pillar, joint
operations were implemented in the most violent states. This has damaged criminals' logistical, operating and financial
structures. Unprecedented amounts of drugs, money and weapons have been confiscated while dozens of leaders, hundreds of lieutenants,
and thousands of suspected gunmen of criminal organizations have been captured. Twenty-two out of the 37 most wanted criminals
in the country have been neutralized.
With regard to the second axis, a historic constitutional reform has been carried
out in regard to penal justice and public security. The Attorney General's Office has been modernized, equipped and vetted.
A new Federal Police Force was also created on the basis of the old Preventive Police Force. This institution expanded from
6,000 to over 36,000 officers, who for the first time have been subject to reliability control mechanisms and training. In
addition, the federal government has supported states and municipalities in training, evaluating and vetting their police.
part of the third axis of the strategy, a set of conditions of community well-being and cohesion have been created which,
at the same time, improve the quality of life and reduce the incidence of crime and addictions. Through the New Life Centers,
a national system has been set up for the prevention and treatment of addictions. Through the Safe School Program, parents
and teachers have become involved in protecting students from violence, addictions, gangs and weapons. And through the Public
Space Restoration Program, areas used by crime will be restored to families.
The president declared that the state must
continue to combat crime, evaluate police officers, and fire those who fail to pass reliability tests. Progress must also
be made in the implementation of a new Penal Justice System throughout the country. The laws and reforms still pending in
Congress must be discussed with the degree of urgency Mexico requires.
A Competitive, Job-Creating Economy
federal government drew up an agenda of economic transformation. It set out to consolidate an economy capable of competing
and winning in the world and attracting more productive investment to create jobs. On the road towards growth, Mexico had
to overcome the worst economic crisis experienced by today's generations. Despite this, the economy has not only survived
but it is also firmly on the path to competitiveness, growth and job creation.
This has guaranteed economic stability.
Nowadays, the country has healthy public finances and a robust financial system. As a result, Mexico has enjoyed three years
of continuous growth, with an expansion of nearly 16 per cent since the second half of 2009. Since January 2007, over 2,240,000
net new jobs have been registered with the Mexican Social Security Institute. This is the second highest period of job creation
on record. The unemployment rate in Mexico is one of the lowest of all the OECD countries. In six years, a record effort has
been made towards infrastructure development. Nearly 20,000 kilometers of highways and country roads have been built or modernized.
More money has been invested in ports, airports and railroad infrastructure than in the previous two administrations together.
energy sector was revitalized in order for it to assume its role as the engine of growth. For the first time ever, Pemex has
obtained a proven reserve replacement rate of over 100 per cent. The electricity sector has been reinforced as never before.
electricity service coverage has been achieved in populations with over 100 inhabitants. The budget for the tourist sector
was doubled, and the National Tourism Agreement was signed with all the actors in this industry. Last year, the country received
an official figure of over 23 million international tourists.
Over the past six years, 60 per cent more funds have been
assigned to the countryside than during the past administration. This has made it possible to modernize irrigation on over
half a million hectares, thereby increasing agricultural productivity and saving water. Farmers have been protected as never
before from catastrophic rains, frosts and drought.
Priority was given to small and medium businessmen, who promoted
the economy and create the most jobs. During this administration, seven more times credit has been provided for over 400,000
small and medium businesses than during the previous administration. Nearly 16,000 regulations and over 2,000 federal government
procedures were eliminated for the benefit of entrepreneurs. The time required for setting up business was reduced from 60
to less than 10 days.
Free trade was made a trigger of national development. Mexico expanded its trade agreements and
reduced the average tariff from ten to four per cent. As a result, firms had more competitive inputs, meaning that their goods
reached more markets and consumers in Mexico had access to better and cheaper products. Nowadays, Mexico exports more manufactured
goods than all the countries in Latin America and the Caribbean together. Six years ago the country was the ninth largest
world automobile exporter, this year it is the fourth largest.
With the support of the legislative branch of government,
fundamental reforms were promoted such as the pension system, tax, energy, economic competitiveness and public-private partnerships
In these six years, Mexico has attracted over US$126 billion in Direct Foreign Investment, advanced 20 positions
in the World Bank ease of doing business index, and in 2011 it was the country that made the greatest progress in the World
Economic Forum Global Competitiveness Index.
Equal Opportunities
In order to ensure equal opportunities
for all Mexicans, the government sought to increase the income, skills, freedoms and living conditions of families without
compromising the heritage of future generations. Development was promoted through three main pillars: developing Mexicans'
skills; consolidating a broad network of social protection; and support for establishing families' heritage.
truly historic achievement has been universal health coverage. Moreover, 1,200 new hospitals, clinics and health centers were
built and another 2,500 remodeled. This is the greatest hospital infrastructure work in living memory.
The other great
equalizer of opportunities is education. To this end, universal coverage in primary education was also achieved. For the first
time in history, all children have a place ensured at this level. Moreover, during the next school year, universal coverage
will also be achieved in secondary education. In order to support students, the largest scholarship program of all time was
created. In 2012 alone, eight million scholarships were awarded.
Work was completed on 1,100 new senior high schools,
140 new universities, and 96 new campuses or buildings in existing institutions. Moreover, thanks to the Alliance for the
Quality of Education, teachers now have to compete for teaching posts, now awarded to the most suitable candidates.
the second pillar, programs that had proved their efficacy were strengthened, with new ones being created for groups that
had not previously been served. Foremost among these is the Opportunities Program, expanded from the countryside to impoverished
urban zones. The number of beneficiary families rose from 5 to 6 million families, with an additional half million being included
through the Food Support Program.
These new programs include 70 and Over, providing financial support for all senior
citizens that so require. Child Daycare Centers, the largest child care network in history. Through this program, nearly 10,000
daycare centers were created in six years. Cement Floors, whereby cement floors were provided for two and a half million homes.
third pillar, asset creation, has also yielded positive results. One out of five dwellings currently existing in Mexico has
been financed during this administration.
Sustainable Development
The federal government sought
to implement a crucial, transversal environmental policy for all areas of government within a model of sustainable development.
The aim is to promote growth and equity, and at the same time protect natural resources; in other words, to support green
Mexico was the first developing country to publicly present its own program designed to combat climate change.
It was also the first country to make a unilateral commitment to reduce emissions. The government decided on renewable energies,
and nowadays 27 per cent of the total energy is generated on the basis of clean sources. Wind energy will have increased production
from 2 mega-watts in 2006 to 1,300 mega-watts by the end of this year. Innovative energy saving policies were launched in
households, such as the replacement of 1,800,000 household appliances with efficient equipment. Another program involved the
replacement of 40 million incandescent bulbs with energy-saving bulbs. This is the largest program of its kind at the world
Effective Democracy and Responsible Foreign Policy
With the consensus of all political
forces, an electoral political reform was achieved, and the electoral authority was renewed. Secondly, the doors to dialogue
with society were opened. Freedom of expression and criticism has been respected. Key reforms were also promoted to expand
Mexicans' freedom. These include the Human Rights Reform, the Constitutional Reform of Injunctions, and the new Migration
and Refugee Laws, which defend foreigners' rights, foreigners' human rights in the country and decriminalize migration.
regard to foreign policy, the federal government rechanneled foreign policy to return Mexico to the forefront of global issues
and become a leader in the international community.
President Calderón concluded by thanking all Mexicans and
invited them to continue working for a better country. He also wished the President-elect of Mexico every success.

Brad Oscar will take over from Nathan Lane from 10 Jan 2005
Brad Oscar will take over from Nathan Lane from 10 Jan 2005
It is now confirmed that Brad Oscar will take over from Nathan Lane as 'Max Bialystock' in The Producers, from 10 Jan 2005 at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane.
Brad Oscar starred as 'Max Bialystock' for 87 weeks on Broadway and 23 weeks on the American national tour. He also played the part of 'Franz Liebkind' in the original Broadway production. His other credits include two years in "Forbidden Broadway" and appearing in the musical "Jekyll and Hyde", both on its national tour and on Broadway.
The rest of the cast remain unchanged: Lee Evans (Leo Bloom), Nicolas Colicos (Franz Liebkind), James Dreyfus (Carmen Ghia), Conleth Hill (Roger De Bris), and Leigh Zimmerman (Ulla).
Mel Brooks' Broadway hit musical opened in London 9 Nov 2004, following previews from 22 oct 2004, to superb notices from the popular press: NICHOLAS DE JONGH for THE EVENING STANDARD says, "A Spiffing knockabout musical comedy"; PAUL TAYLOR for THE INDEPENDENT says, "Unleashes an epidemic of bliss." MICHAEL BILLINGTON for THE GUARDIAN says, "Intoxicating, time-suspending and slightly guilty pleasure." CHARLES SPENCER for THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says, "From the opening number, the audience rides a tidal wave of pure pleasure and after three delirious hours one is left stunned by a combination of unstoppable laughter and sheer happiness." BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE for THE TIMES says, "Mel Brooks, has transformed his celebrated movie into a musical comedy, and as funny a one as I've seen."
The Producers opened on Broadway in April 2001 and quickly became Broadway's hottest ticket. It went on to win a record 12 Tony Awards in 2001, when it starred Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane.
The show has book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan, and music and lyrics by Mel Brooks. It is directed and choreographed by Susan Stroman. The design is by Robin Wagner, costumes by William Ivey Long, lighting by Peter Kaczorowski, sound by Steve C Kennedy and orchestration by Doug Besterman.
A couple of guys come up with a scheme to produce the outrageous Broadway musical ever. They think they can take off with all their investors' money-but when the curtain goes up on their gigantic singing, dancing spectacular, they realize their plan has gone ridiculously wrong.

I can't believe it actually happened! I don't even know what to say about it, really. It is amazing. Last night when they named Obama the projected winner, Chris and I muted the television and our entire neighborhood was just exploding in cheers and fireworks. When I was walking Jack this morning, three people I didn't even know stopped me to talk about it. Everyone is so excited! I love it.
I woke up convinced it was a dream, but then I checked my phone and saw a text from the future president himself, telling me that we made history because of my time, talent and passion. Obviously, he only sends those texts to me. It feels nice to be appreciated.
Anyway, on to food, which is what we're here for, after all. Really, I am so happy, I wasn't even hungry this morning. This is a first for sure, but I managed to throw down a bowl of Peanut Butter Puffins:
I got these over the weekend and I'd never had them before. Let's just say more than half the box is already gone. I am obsessed. They are so good and peanut buttery and crunchy! I've been eating them for a snack just plain.
Okay, I have to get back to MSNBC work.

Gulf Terrace Hike and Bike Trail is a 3.6 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Beaumont, Texas that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
dogs on leash
wheelchair friendly
kid friendly
stroller friendly
nature trips
road biking
trail running
bird watching
wild flowers
This trail is completely paved and provides a unique opportunity to bike, run or walk while taking in some great views of pasture land.
Good for keeping track of 5K times, well marked and newer with some benches/rest areas along the path but if you are looking for a scenic run this is NOT it and be careful running here during hot times because there is no shade along the track whatsoever.
Good for keeping track of your 5k time. Hot, straight, uninteresting, no shade, no relief from the direct sunlight or humidity.
Betsy K.
Really great trail for walking, biking, or skating. Owners of toy breed dogs may want to keep an eye on the predatory birds though. I take my dog here all the time. Great place to enjoy the day!
Awesome fully paved trail that gives you plenty of room to get in some good exercise!
Great trail to get some exercise on.

Well gosh I just love the west. South Dakota (some argue its credentials for being considered a western state) was un-freaking-believable. The flowing plains, lack of civilizations, and beautiful grasses made for a dizzingly and almost too beautiful landscape. I had never been to S.D, nor had I really ever heard of it so I did not know what to expect. We experienced some amazing storms (don't worry, we were safe), and really got to see what small town America is like. We would only encounter 3 towns or so in our 80 mile rides, and those spaced apart towns only consisted of 16-250 people usually. Very different from home.
I was already totally digging S.D, when we came to the badlands. I had no idea what they were, except that they would be really cool. Some people explained them as alien-like, placed there out of nowhere. Riding through the Badlands is the coolest thing I've ever done. Huge rock formations jutting out of the ground and huge canyons overtaking the horizon. Explaining the badlands is next to impossible. The colors, the grandiosity, and the bissarre & out of nowhere formations made for an unbelievable experience. Pictures can't even truly capture it. Simply put go there and see it for yourself!
Anyways, we also got to hang out in THE Wall, S.D. Home of Wall Drug, bringing tourists free Ice water for about 80 years. Huge tourist attraction for the town of 310 people, taking up a full city block.
Black Hills- I love you. On our day off in Rapid City Connor Yantz, Lee, Anthony, Linsey, Gedion, Manny, and David went exploring in the Black Hills. We climbed up mountains almost at random and purposely got lost. We stopped ontop of a mountain, overlooking the mountains for lunch. PB and J in the mountains. Eagles soaring overhead, huge rocks jutting out of the mountians, and evergreens dotting the scenery. We found a trail that we thought/hoped would lead us to state road 40, it didn't. We did however find a river that we had to forde to get on a nother trail. Backpacks held over our head, 60 degree water, and a whole lot of fun. We climbe up and down miles, and hiked for a good 15 miles. We eventually found a path that led back to civilization. I forgot what it was like being completely removed from civilization. The black hills got even awesomer when I got to bike through them the next day. scenic rollin hills/mountains every bit as challenging as a normal day in the Appalachians. Riding up to Mount Rushmore was real cool too. We could see faces in the distance. They were smaller then I thought, but amazing nonetheless. I was blown away (pun intended) that they used dynamite to explode the granite to such specificity of their faces. Black Hills and Badlands were the 2 best rides of the trip , hands down ( so far). Later that day we had a 6 mile downhill into Wyoming.
Wyoming has been real flat for the most part. Beautiful grasses, and a more arid climate. Today we rode from Gillete to Buffalo. Buffalo lies at the base of the Big Horns, the mountain range that leads into the rockies. All day we could see the mountains in the distance. We inched closer and closer to the snow covered caps. I hardly looked at the road infront of me because the scenery was too overwhelming. I couldnt even drink water, becase my hands were full holding my camera. Being in the mountains brings on this awesome feeling of freedom, and excitement. The mountains in the horizon were huge. Its crazy to imagine that we are going to bike over/thru them. Tomorrow we start our climb. We are finally here. The west. The mountains.

Beautiful blue skies, white fluffy clouds, and a light sweater were par for the course today.
Some of the trees are completely bare, some are turning, and others have leaves that are hanging on tight and are bright green. Webster and I enjoyed our 5:00 stroll. He starts hanging around his food dish around 4:00.

Most people don't enjoy being away from their family for business. It's tough on them, the kids, and the spouse left at home.
Thanks to webcams and Windows Live Messenger and a LifeCam, things are a bit easier now.
Do you think it's tougher on the spouse who stays at home with the kids or the one who is travelling?

This partial draft discusses the architecture of the relation between instances and schemas, and outlines mechanisms for instance-to-schema association.
This is partial draft of the expected TF report.
This note purports to outline key points of agreement regarding the use of XML schemas to validate namespace qualified elements, including document elements, the corresponding rules for validation, and additional instance document constructs which can be used to approximate the capabilities of system and public identifiers when referring to XML schemas.
Key features of the proposed design are:
<schema xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/09/23-xmlschema/' targetNS='myNamespaceURI'> ... </schema>Note that this XML schema itself may be stored in a document of arbitrary name and accessed via an arbitrary URI on the Web. During validation of an instance element qualified with
myNamespaceURI, the
processor locates (using processor-dependent means) the XML schema
document illustrated above. By inspection of the
targetNS attribute,
the processor determines the namespace for elements and attributes
being declared by the XML schema.
Also note that this allows for an XML schema to be defined post-hoc for XML documents with no namespace declaration at all: by convention these could be schema-validated by an XML schema with
standalone='no' in the XML 1.0 declaration.
This does not of course preclude processing such instances without any schema processing at all: e.g. editors are free to edit instances as such without reference to schemas at all.
<schemadoc xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/09/23-xmlschema/'> <schema targetNS='myNamespaceURI1'> ... </schema> <schema targetNS='myNamespaceURI2'> ... </schema> </schemadoc>The sample above illustrates a single XML schema document which contributes definitions to two XML namespaces. Nothing in the rest of this design requires such an extension to the XML schema language, but it is a fundamental philosophical change, and a point which must be resolved before we can fully settle the means by which instances prefer to XML schema documents (see below).
Note that this settles the long-standing
dc:creator problem, i.e. how it is possible for an XML schema to allow elements from
a namespace whose namespace URI does not point to an XML schema. Now we
can simply write
<schemadoc xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/09/23-xmlschema/'> <schema id='dc' targetNS='http://purl.org/metadata/dublin_core'> <element name='creator'>...</element> </schema> <schema targetNS='myNamespaceURI2'> <element name='mybook'> <archetype order='all'> <element ref='creator' schemaName='#dc'/> ... </archetype> </element> </schema> </schemadoc>
As noted above, the core XML schema language provides no single means for locating an XML schema document during processing. As described in point (3) however, we wish to propose one or two standard mechanisms to promote interoperability in the common cases. Here, we consider two such mechanisms.
The first such mechanism we discussed in our call is the seemingly obvious one in which the namespace URI is dereferenced in an attempt to discover either an XML schema document itself, or some sort of external package or directory which might be used to find an XML schema. The design above is consistent with such a convention, and we are considering recommending its use. Detailed means by which the retrieved resource would be inspected, its type determined (mime type?), etc., have not been resolved at this time.
NOTE: We have discussed a problem with this approach: requiring the dereferencing of arbitrary namespace URI may be beyond the purview of the XML Schema WG. Why? The current Namespaces recommendation places no burdens at all on the inventor of a namespace beyond URI syntactic correctness. In particular, there is NO requirement that a resource exists associated with a namespace URI, or if there is that retrieving it produces anything meaningful or up to date. The proposed design suggests that anything retrieved which appears to be a valid XML schema or package is indeed valid and trustworthy. We should consider whether coordination with other XML workgroups is required to make this the case, and whether in fact we can do this retroactively given that the Namespaces recommendation has already been issued.
A variation on this theme is one that Microsoft is currently using. Specifically, Microsoft dereferences only those URIs which contain a reserved URI scheme prefix. Consider an instance document containing an element E:
x-schema: URI scheme grants permission for the processor to
dereference the URL, and asserts that it will find an XML schema at
the other end.
NOTE: We don't know whether Microsoft has registered this URI scheme, or whether we would have to register one to make it part of the XML Schema REC. An introduction to URI schemes and their registration is available from the W3c, including pointers to the official registration authorities.
To handle the common case in which the author of an instance document knows the exact absolute or relative URL of a DTD, XML provides for system identifiers in the instance document. In the case of documents using multiple namespaces, to be validated against multiple possible XML schema documents, something more elaborate and robust is required.
Two related proposals have been offered to provide similar flexibility for locating an XML schema.
Consider first the simple case where either no namespace declaration is involved at all, or a single namespace declaration appears on the top element which is qualified with that namespace. In these cases an attribute from the XML Schema namespace can be used to provide a URL of an XML schema, e.g. as follows
<myDoc xmlns='myNamespaceURI' xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/1999/09/23-xmlschema/' xsd:schemaLoc='myschema.xsd'> ... </myDoc>
This approach depends on the proposal above that an XML schema contains the URI of the namespace for which it provides definitions.
Extending this approach to cases where more than one namespace is declared
used on a single element requires allowing
xsd:schemaLoc to contain a
list (space-separated) of URLs.
Alternatively, to give greater flexibility than a purely attribute-based approach allows, we could define an element, again in the XML Schema namespace, whose content specified either one or more XML schema URLs, or, if we decide to pull back from the proposal above where an XML schema identifies the namespace it is about, one or more mappings from namespaces to XML schema URLs. This element in turn would then be pointed to from an attribute from the XML Schema namespace:
<a:rootel b:someattr="1" xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/1999/09/23-xmlschema/' xsd:schemaLoc='#sds'> <xsd:schemaBindings id='sds'> <xsd:namespacebinding ns="URIForA" systemFile="http://myorg.com/somefileA.xsd"/> <xsd:namespacebinding ns="URIForB" systemFile="http://myorg.com/somefileB.xsd"/> </xsd:schemadocs> ...real content... </a:rootel>
namespaceBinding provides a URL for an XML schema, in the spirit of
the XML system identifier, for each of the namespaces used in the
document. Note that these associations must apply also to the root
element in which they are contained.
We have a fundamental choice to make regarding how firm a stand we take on the connection between elements/documents and XML schemas. We've opted for a layered story above, in which what you do with an XML schema once you've got one is fixed, but how you get one is left flexible.
If we agree with that story, there are further questions to be resolved. Most importantly, we must consider the various options as to whether an individual XML schema remains co-extensive with a namespace. For example, we should consider the <schemadoc> packaging of multiple XML schema declarations into a single document. We must also decide how many of the 4 options canvassed above (any namespace URI may point to an XML schema, directly or indirectly; special URI scheme prefix; xsd:schemaLoc attribute; xsd:schemaBindings element) we explicitly describe, and whether we indicate a prioritisation of the list.

Over the course of Fifa 16 we saw a lot of Bundesliga keepers pick up IF's and we now look set to have the trend continue into 17 with Baumann. The Hoffenheim stopper made a total of nine saves in order to keep a clean sheet and help his side to a point in a 0-0 draw with Wolfsburg.
Maxwell - LB - 79 OVR
Maxwell is the first of two PSG players I have elected for their 6-0 demolition of Caen. The Brazilian defender claimed two assists to go alongside his clean sheet which saw him pick up an 8/10 from L'equipe. He could well miss out due to EA not wanting two from the same side however he deserves his spot in the side.
Dejan Lovren - CB - 82 OVR
After their win over Chelsea this weekend Liverpool are considered title contenders and although I feel as though that is pushing things they are a real threat for the top sides. Lovren scored the opening goal in their 2-1 win which in some a high profile game could see him sneak in.
Eric Botteghin - CB - 76 OVR
Feyenoord continued their 100% run to the season with a 1-0 away win over PSV. Botteghin score the goal alongside picking up a 7.5 match rating which should see him in if he is once again a gold. This result puts Feyenoord five points clear at the top after just six games. Quite impressive.
Quincy Promes - RM - 81 OVR
There were a few strange exclusions from the RPL towards the end of 16 however Promes really should have next to no questions coming into week 1 after he was involved in all three Spartak goals. The Dutch winger scored two of his own alongside assisting the other in their 3-1 win which claimed him a 9/10.
Nacer Chadli - CAM - 78 OVR
WBA are not exactly known for their high scoring games and I actually had this one down as a 0-0 but they surprised spectators with a 4-2 win over WH who are in real trouble as things stand. Chadli was involved in all four of those Albion goals with both two of his own and two assists.
Gonzalo Castro - CM - 82 OVR
Although there is a lot of hype surrounding Dortmunds new signing in Pulisic who is in with a chance of making this side I think that Castro will be the player who makes the cut. The fact the German midfielder is a gold will work wonders in his favour. Castro scored twice and picked up an assist for Dortmund as they cruised to a 6-0 win at home to Darmstadt.
Lionel Messi - RW - 93 OVR
Often it is the case that we see a huge name included for the first week and it looks to be the same case this time round with Messi scoring twice and assisting another in Barca's 5-1 away win over Leganes. For week one IF's they don't come much bigger than this.
At the same time, we are a professional website online sales of fifa coins shop. Now you can buy fifa coins at our website with a low price and instant delivery.
Mauro Icardi - ST - 82 OVR
We saw a similar situation with Totti last week who sneaked in over many players which on paper had done more and I feel that Icardi will be the same this time around. The Argentine was involved in both Inter goals with both a goal and assist in their shock 2-1 win over Juventus. His performance saw him pick up an 8.5 which is a very good rating.
Edinson Cavani - ST - 85 OVR
PSG made it ten points from their opening five games with a convincing 6-0 win against Caen. Cavani scored four of those goals which makes him a certainty for this first team of 17. Now that Ibra is playing in England I would expect to see a lot of Cavani IF's over the course of this year.
Jonathan Soriano - ST - 76 OVR
Although many would consider the Austrian division to be dominated by Salzburg they are not top as things stand. They did however record a convincing 4-1 win over Rapid Wien on Sunday of which a familiar face in Soriano scored three of the four goals in.
Emil Forsberg - LM - 76 OVR
There were a lot of high scoring games in Germany this weekend which resulted in a ton of IF options from the division. Forsberg was the player to pick up player of the week though and thus making him hard to ignore. The Swedish winger was superb in the second division last season and looks to be carrying his form over to the top division. He scored once and assisted another two to help lead Leipzeg to a 4-0 away win.
Thomas Lemar - RM - 78 OVR
After an impressive season for Lemar in the 15/16 campaign he picked up a well deserved spot in TOTS but what was surprising i the fact that he failed to pick up an IF over the course of that season. Things look to be taking a different path this year though after he scored twice for Monaco in a 3-0 win which saw him pick up an 8/10 from L'equipe.
Nicola Sansone -ST - 78 OVR
Villarreal scraped to a 2-1 home win against Sociedad thanks to a brace from Sansone. One of the Italians goals came from pretty much the halfway line which in a league like La Liga I feel will particularly stand out and thus giving him the edge over other strikers with two to their names.
Arkadiusz Milik - ST - 79 OVR
I'm not really sure as to why but Milik actually started the match on the bench which on current form was unexpected but regardless of that he still managed to win them the match. The Polish striker came off the bench in the 61st minute with the scores level at one a piece. He then went on to score in both the 67th and 78th minutes of the game to give Napoli a 3-1 win and ultimately take home the three points. An impressive 8/10 from Gazzetta will only help his cause.
Islam Slimani - ST - 83 OVR
Slimani was always going to make an impact for Leicester after his performances in Portugal but many would have thought he needed a settling in period. That doesnt look to be the case though scoring two goals in his first start to help Leicester to a 3-0 win over newly promoted Burnley.
Louis Moult - ST - 65 OVR
One of the easier selections came from Scotland after Moult decided to bag four goals for Motherwell in their 4-2 home win. It's almost as though he knew it's the first week of a new Fifa.
Scott Hogan - ST - 67 OVR
Brentford moved into a play off position courtesy of a 5-0 home win against Preston and it was their striker who stood out scoring three of those five goals. Hogan is now the joint top goalscorer in the championship with six to his name in the eight games played.

Enid Lorimer was born in London in 1887 as Enid Bosworth Nunn. She eventually became an Australian citizen, however, and died in Sydney on July 15, 1982, a month after she received a Medal of the Order of Australia for the Performing Arts. Lorimer was a theatre actress almost all her life, but also participated in many radio plays and television series in both Britain and Australia. Much less is known about her involvement as a scenarist in the early British film industry. As a result only one confirmed writing credit exists for Lorimer. Although Lorimer was asked about her involvement in early film as part of an interview for the Australia Film Council On Stage! series in 1979, by that time she was ninety-one and not surprisingly did not recall the full details. Another factor in our limited knowledge of Lorimer's early film career is the lack of attributed credits for early British films. Few extant film prints survive, and as a rule, the trade press did not mention either scenarists or other production staff (Wolstencroft 2009).
Lorimer was born into an upper-middle class family from London. After she graduated, former teacher Elsie Fogerty persuaded Lorimer's parents to let her participate in Fogerty's drama classes at the Royal Albert Hall in 1911. In 1912, with Fogerty's help, Lorimer joined the theatre company of Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, and this is when Enid adopted "Lorimer" as a stage name. She took mainly understudy parts, reading for Phyllis Neilson-Terry, for example. Lorimer acted at several companies, including Sir Laurence Irving's, where she met fellow actor Wentworth Zerffi, whom she married in July 1912. By 1914, Lorimer even had her own repertory company in Manchester, but with the outbreak of World War I and Zerffi enlisting, everything changed.
It was at this moment in late 1914 that Lorimer was probably first contracted to a film company as an actress. But since, in her words, "I was tall, and at that time what was wanted were little fluffy types," she ended up working "more or less as general dogsbody, writing them, which meant of course writing the subtitles which was all that writing consisted of." This sounds very modest, but later in the 1979 Stage Series interview Lorimer speaks of "my office," which was located near the manager's office. The question is: exactly for whom did she work?
It appears that Lorimer initially worked for the Samuelson Film Company, although we have no evidence of this. In the Australia Film Council's On Stage! interview, Lorimer mentions Samuelson in connection with anecdotes about films that were actually made by the Ideal Film Company. Ideal, however, did not start making films until late 1915. Nevertheless, Lorimer's one confirmed scenarist credit was for the Ideal Company. This was Her Greatest Performance (1916), which she cowrote with Benedict James. James was a regular writer for Ideal and often teamed up with actor-director Fred Paul until they both left Ideal in late 1917. Interestingly, Paul acted for Samuelson and directed his first film, The Dop Doctor (1916), for them before he joined the new Ideal Company. Lorimer remembers Samuelson as having "the first ever studio at Elstree" while they in fact had their studios at Worton Hall, Isleworth. Ideal, in contrast, did not have its own studios and started filming at Worton Hall at the beginning of 1916, before moving on to Elstree at the end of that year and staying until 1917. All this suggests that Lorimer probably first worked for Samuelson at Worton Hall and then moved with Ideal to Elstree and possibly with director Fred Paul (Low 89, 92-93; Burrows 192, 196-187, 218).
Two of the anecdotes Lorimer related in the On Stage! interview suggest that she was at least part of the production staff on two other Paul films. First, Lorimer was on the set of The Second Mrs. Tanqueray (1916), adapted by Benedict James, as she remembers the actor Bernard Vaughn, who was a "very dignified […] old man," but in contrast "had a good old ripe Cockney accent." Lorimer comments that writing intertitles could be very amusing because the actors did not have to stick to the words. And apparently Vaughn would come on set and say, "Well, Gentleman, what seems to be the problem?" What would come out would be "Well, me old duck, what's it all about?" So, Lorimer focused on the title words in the interview because she may have been the one who wrote them (Low 300).
In the second anecdote Lorimer says she saw the actor James Welch angrily storming into the manager's office on the day Ideal was filming "the big circus scene" for the comedy The New Clown (1916). Interestingly, Low refers to the intertitles from this film as described in the Kinematograph Monthly Film Record in July 1916. "Who, for instance, could help laughing at subtitles such as this: "What is the number of my dressing room?" "Dressing room! It's the second flap on the right behind the camel" (130). Low uses The New Clown as an example of the development of comedies through the comic title rather than through the script or actors (Low 167). It is perhaps too tempting to think that Lorimer may have written these particular titles. One, I think erroneous scenarist credit for Lorimer is that of the Broadwest film The House Opposite (1917). In his record of the film, Dennis Gifford gives the adaptation credit to both Enid Lorimer and Reuben Gillmer, possibly to rule out doubts. The Bioscope probably simply made a mistake when they referred to the script in their news columns as being "prepared for the film by Enid Lorimer," because on other occasions they mentioned only Reuben Gillmer as the scriptwriter. It was never suggested that they adapted the play together or that Lorimer ever worked for Broadwest. Moreover, Gillmer leaves no room for doubt in his indignant reaction to the Bioscope's mistake, saying he himself wrote the script without assistance. Ironically, the subsequent review of The House Opposite in the Bioscope does not mention any scriptwriter at all. Equally tempting is the knowledge that there are some other Ideal films directed by Fred Paul for which Low does not give a scriptwriting/adaptation credit. These titles include Still Waters Run Deep (1916) starring Lady Tree and The Lyons Mail (1917) starring H. B. Irving. Both of these films starred famous theatre actors and were based on plays, according to the Kinematograph Monthly Film Record (130).
Most Ideal films were prestigious films based on famous British novels or plays and starring household theatre names in the hope of legitimizing the British film. As such it seems very likely that Lorimer's theatre background was an important factor in Ideal's hiring of her, especially because the one confirmed writing credit for Lorimer, Her Greatest Performance (1916), was a star vehicle for another famous stage actress, Ellen Terry. Her Greatest Performance was an original screenplay cowritten especially for Terry by Enid Lorimer and Benedict James. Lorimer recalls that Terry made specific suggestions as "she would come into my little office and say, look dear, this is a very nice bit here but if you don't mind, do you think we could do it like this?" But Lorimer did not mind because "she knew her stage craft, that lady." Her Greatest Performance was a critical success, the trade press praising an excellent scenario although not always mentioning the writers by name (Terpstra 32).
We do not know of Lorimer's activities for Ideal or any other film company after 1916. But at some point during this period Lorimer became an advocate of the educational values of the cinema. Probably inspired by her work at Ideal, which prided itself on making highbrow, typically British films, Lorimer wanted to demonstrate that films and cinema-going were not necessarily a bad influence. In a letter to the Bioscope, written in September 1917 from the Writers' Club, Lorimer argues that "when intelligent and keenly critical audiences fill every part of the picture theatre, the higher-priced seats as well as the others, surely then the stream of public opinion will become so strong" that the press has to accept that the cinema is an art equal to theatre or literature. A second letter to the Bioscope in November 1917, written on behalf of Femina Films states that "we are supplying privately owned cinemas with films chosen for their suitability for our purpose," which is "to bring about the much-to-be-desired rapprochement between picture playhouse managers and the local clergy and educational authorities" thus "helping to break down lingering prejudices against the 'pictures'." According to company records at the National Archives, Femina Films was registered on May 25 1916, but stopped issuing stock by the beginning of 1918, not long after Enid Lorimer was registered as one of seven shareholders on December 28, 1917.
In a 1979 interview with Filmnews Australia, Lorimer fills in the details of her life dating from the end of World War I when her husband returned so traumatized that the marriage failed. In 1926 he committed suicide. Even before that, in 1923, Lorimer had emigrated to Australia to continue the work of the Theosophical Society, which she had joined in 1918. Looking back she explains that "I went back into theatre almost as soon as the war ended," which meant that the actress never had the chance to appear on the moving picture screen (11).

1. Enid Lorimer as Scenarist
Her Greatest Performance, 1916.
If Lorimer's "On Stage!" interview is accurate, it is possible that she wrote the titles for The Second Mrs. Tanqueray (1916). One erroneous writing credit for Lorimer is that for The House Opposite (1917). In his record of the film, Denis Gifford gives the adaptation credit to both Enid Lorimer and Reuben Gillmer, possibly to rule out doubts. The Bioscope may simply have made a mistake when they referred to the script in their news columns as being "prepared for the film by Enid Lorimer" because on other occasions they mention only Reuben Gillmer as scenario writer. There is no other record of their having adapted the play together or of Lorimer working for Broadwest. Moreover, Gillmer leaves no room for doubt in his indignant reaction to The Bioscope mistake, and writing in, he claims that he wrote the script without assistance. Ironically, the subsequent review of The House Opposite in The Bioscope does not mention any writer at all. See: The Bioscope entries in bibliography from February and April 1917.

The Concept: Festival Organizers have worked hard in recent years to keep excitement levels up and the good times rolling after the end of our signature event: the Grand Feature Parade. The "post-parade" slot at the Sprint Festival Event Tent has been a tough spot to fill in recent years; but, for 2014, Organizers feel that the solution has been found! On Saturday night, along with the usual good-time excitement of a Festival Tent Party, the Festival will be holding the Finals of its season-long talent search: Apple Blossom's Got Talent! Always striving to do everything in the biggest possible way, the Festival will present the champion of this talent search with a cash prize of $5,000.00 plus other gifts and perks. Exact times, locations, rules, entry forms, fees and a link to the Bright Box Theatre's on-line box office are available at the Festival's web site. Further information is also available at SABF Headquarters, 540-662-3863; and, from Event Chair, Theresa Gaines.
The Auditions: Three preliminary Auditions for Apple Blossom's Got Talent! are scheduled. All Auditions will be held at the fabulous new Bright Box Theatre at 15 North Loudoun Street on the Old Town Walking Mall. There will be a maximum of 30 contestants on each of these three nights; and, judges will select 10 contestants each night to continue on to the Semi-Finals. Potential contestants will be required to provide Organizers with a DVD or a video link of their talent to assist with the screening process before each Audition. Each contestant will be given two minutes to perform. There are restrictions listed in the Official Rules; but, in general, many types of talent can be displayed within the confines of the space and time provided [in other words, this is not for singers only]. On Thursday, April 17th, the 30 contestants chosen by the judges at the preliminary Auditions will perform again at the Bright Box Theatre at the Semi-Finals; and judges will choose 12 finalists from among them to perform at the Sprint Festival Event Tent on the night of Saturday, May 3rd. No Members of the Board, the Staff, or the Corporation of the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival®, Inc., or their immediate relatives, may apply. The Auditions and the Semi-Finals all start at 7:00pm and are open to the viewing public at no charge. Passes are being handled at the on-line Box Office at the Bright Box Theatre.
The Finals: After three months of continuous build-up, a sell-out crowd is expected to pack the Sprint Festival Event Tent on Saturday night, at 8:00pm, for the Finals of Apple Blossom's Got Talent! Parking, bar availability, food availability, tent layout, et cetera, will follow the standard format for big nighttime events at the Sprint Tent. The difference in this case is that, instead of a band entertaining, the excitement of the night will revolve around the choosing of the $5,000 Grand Champion in our talent search. All twelve finalists will perform; and, judges will pare their number down to six. Those six will then perform one last time before the audience members themselves vote by ballot for first place , second place, and third place.

At CrossFit TT, we do things a little differently. Rather than prescribing one Workout of the Day (or WOD) for everyone, we offer our clients three distinct WODs each day, each of which is tailored to a unique athlete profile or population. Currently, we program daily workouts for three different athlete profiles / populations, each of which is called a Program Track. Upon graduating On-Ramp, athletes select the Program Track that best aligns with their goals or current skill level. Athletes may elect to change their Program Track as their goals change, as their skills improve, or as their outstanding personal/professional/life commitments allow.
CrossFit TT's Program Tracks.
Performance. Designed to help athletes transcend their own personal performance threshold, PERFORMANCE W.O.D.'s enhance general fitness preparedness, with a slight-to-moderate emphasis on the sport of CrossFit. (Click here to learn more about PERFORMANCE Programming)
Function. W.O.D.'s from the FUNCTION Program Track often tax the same energy system and/or incorporate the same general movements as W.O.D.'s from the PERFORMANCE Program Track, with one appreciable difference: heavy loads and high-skill work take a backseat to foundational strength, mobility, and skill development (Click here to learn more about FUNCTION Programming).
RTG. The RTG Program Track is for individuals with specific goals within the sport of CrossFit, or who desire to be competitive at local, regional, national, or international levels of competition.

So since they are not stating the weight I guess they are still considering minor hardware changes?
Being able to shoot straight to SSD is just amazing. There would really be no chance of me shooting 4k raw otherwise. AUD 600 for a 128 gig cfast card or AUD 200 for a 500g Samsung SSD, all without having to alter the SD card door which would've also made running the camera on a one hand gimbal impossible. Really shows that BM are still there for the idie crowd.
Two sort-of gripes I have with this camera are the form and the question of dynamic range. I would have been happy with something more akin to a handycam (an URSA micro if you will), but maybe that kind of shape is even harder on gimbals.
The sensor seems to be the same one as in the GH5s, and for video I think it will be limited to 12-bit mode. Luckily, dpreveiw shows both 14-bit and 12-bit results on their underexposure comparison tool.
I compare that sensor with the two cameras that I own right now: RX100 IV and a6000. I think the "+3EV" shot would be the limit for me on the GH5s in 12-bit mode. In 14-bit mode it has maybe half a stop more range, but I think the sensor can't shoot 14-bit at video frame rates, only 12-bit. Looking at those results, the RX100 IV has about the same DR as the GH5s 12-bit, and the a6000 has about half a stop more.
That's a very good result: I have traveled shooting stills with the a6000 and RX100 IV and video with the RX100 IV and a7S, and the amount of headroom I get on those stills is waaaaaay bigger than on the video files (for which I always use slog2).
In video mode, the RX100 IV has about half a stop less DR than the original a7S, and I think the a6500 and a7 III are half a stop above the original a7S, so I could get an extra stop just by moving to a more recent Sony.
The a6000 in stills mode has between one and 2.5 stops better DR than the RX100 IV in video mode (depending on whether you just care about big shapes, or also textures: RAW makes a huge difference if you care for textures because compression usually destroys textures in the shadows).
Take away the half-a-stop difference that the a6000 seems to have over the GH5s in 12-bit mode, and here's my expectation:
I think the pocket 4k shooting RAW will have half a stop less DR than the a6500/a7III shooting slog3 if you test them with a chart (where only big shapes matter and you don't have to worry about 8-bit banding), but one stop more if you care about textures in the shadows. That's no BM4.6k, but I think I'll be a happy p4k user.
http://www.bmcuser.com/showthread.ph...l=1#post242117 With proper processing i was able to recover up to 2 clean additional stops without noise reduction and 3 stops with noise reduction. 4.6K sensor allow even more shadow boost.
It seems every sensor can recover up to 2-3 stops from the shadows, but the question is did the GH5s and Sony sensors original dynamic range be the same as BMMCC/Pocket and 4.6K sensors?
GH5s same as other similar cameras probably have only 11 stops at ISO 800 (Maybe up to 12-12.5 stoops at native ISO 50?) (3 additional stops can be recovered from shadows if downscaled from 4K to HD), and it seems it use two fixed switchable sensor ISO values that can not be switched in post in RAW file.
BM Micro and Pocket cameras have 13 stops at native ISO 800 (2 additional stops can be recovered from shadows) it use permanent dual gain sensor technology which combines high and low gain in realtime during capture.
BM 4.6K sensor have 14 stops at native ISO 800 (3 or more additional stops can be recovered from shadows if downscaled from 4.6K to HD) it also use permanent dual gain sensor technology which combines high and low gain in realtime during capture.

(I stopped caring about absolute numbers: nowadays I only do side-by-side camera comparisons; unless the methodology is exactly the same, the amount of stops doesn't tell me anything, so, 11, 13, 14, 15, it doesn't mean much; what I want is "one stop more than the current Sonys"; fingers crossed)
100% agree. It is odd that DxO and DPreview never do BM cameras tests to compare with other cameras in same measurement conditions.

Last book you bought
It was The Black Magician Trilogy by Trudi Canavan. I bought three of them at the same time so that's why I included all three of them. It's a high fantasy. I'm currently reading the second book right now and so far so good. I dislike those covers though. Look so boring but the books themselves are interesting.
I loved the movie. So when I saw this book from a garage sale, I bought it right away and I think it was really cheap too.
and here's the expensive book
A book with a male protagonist
A book with a female protagonist
Such a hard question because I have so many to choose from. Anyway I guess it'd go to
She is a strong character and I liked her a lot.
Pretty cover
I have so many but none of them can compare to the Barnes Noble classic edition. The picture didn't do its justice =( And I love it when the book comes with the built-in ribbon bookmark.
Ugly cover
Non-fiction book
I don't think I've mentioned it before but I'm obsessed with Ancient Egypt. You might think history must be my favorite subject. Nope it's not. It's actually Egyptology that I love. And most of the non fiction books you can find in my house are all about Egypt (the history, the religion, Egyptian Life, the Pharaohs, the pyramids/tombs/treasures, architecture, art, Egyptian hieroglyphs etc). I'm hoping I can visit this magic country soon.
Fiction Book
A book that made you happy
Define happy. I'm glad that I read the book or the book is hilarious. I think I'll choose the former because I don't think I've read that many hilarious books and I can't recall any at the moment. For me if the book is funny then I read and laugh but after that I feel nothing, no linger happy feeling whatsoever. But a book that I love then I'll always have that happy feeling whenever I think of that book even though reading it had torn my heart into pieces.
One that made you sad

An English indie band, Florence and the Machine stimulates the imagination and brings you to surreal worlds. Their dreamland sounds that transport you to fantasy worlds has been gaining popularity and making its way into the mainstream since 2007. A combination of resounding vocals from lead singer Florence Welch and songwriter/producer Isabella "Machine" Summers would surely tickle your independent mind.
One Saturday night I was just bumming off when my mom called me to her room and said that I should listen to this song, it was "If Only for a Night" and the minute I heard the haunting intro, I was instantly hooked and as the song progresses it completely blew my mind. After that first encounter, I just had to have more and it didn't disappoint. It's not just simply listening to a song, it was an experience and that is what distinguishes F and M, every song is an experience. It transcends you to worlds you never knew existed; it transports you to different realms that could only exist in figments of your imagination. It ignites something in you, passion, emotion and power. It's a very rare occurrence that you find music that you could feel an unexplainable connection with, like a sanctuary calling you home and carrying you in its arms. This song inspires the shit out of me, that's how powerful its effect on me is.
The minute I hear Florence's vocals it just reverberates to my soul and my mind instantly wanders to lazy warm summers; dancing in the fields with the sun on your face and the wind on your hair. And as I said, every song is an experience.
Here's the song that started it all. Listen to it to experience something life changing!
And another one! This is by far climbing my list of my top favorites!

In this best seller, Joanna Kortink, a spiritual psychotherapist, has formulated a unique therapy for the effective treatment of binge-eating and an array of other eating disorders.
Having suffered from bulimia herself, Joanna has, through the use of psychotherapy, creative expression, body training and natural medicine devised a system of treatment that provides new insights into the nature of eating disorders.
Basically, Joanna teaches that "eating differently starts with thinking differently." And she provides some of her clients' profiles in which she engages each one in a dialogue between the client and what she calls "her inner saboteur." She also explains how you can increase vitality, find the spirit, get back to basics and to learn how to listen to your body's signals, all of which leads to increased energy and a comforting sense of self-forgiveness.
In this unique book, the reader will find tips for immediate self-action as well as vital information for partners and friends of binge-eaters and those with other eating disorders. Furthermore, Joanna's method will help the reader break the endless lose-weight, gain-weight cycle as well as treat the blind compulsion of eating out of stress.
Joanna Kortink has spent more than ten years as an advocate for women with eating disorders. She lives in the Netherlands where she runs her center, Artiva Food and Vitality Coaching.
In "Eating disorders review for professsionals" compared the book, Eat, drink and be mindful by Susan Albers to Breaking the spell of Binge-eating by Joanna Kortink. "Both books can be used as an addenda to or independent of therapy. They are very similar in focus and intent. But Kortink's book is more "readable".
(Eating disorders review for professsionals)
An inspiring spiritual self-help book, written from the heart and soul.
She settles the no-willpower myth: 'Spiritual strength doesn't necessarily come from willpower, but is mostly based on insight and the right convictions.'
The methods used to help clients get rid of an obsessive eating pattern, offer a solution to
everyone who wants to bring balance in their lives.
Realistic thoughts solve eating problems.
Self acceptance and positive body image are the focus of her advice and exercises.
Joanna wrote a practical self-help book, sprinkled with many personal witnesses and exercises.
This bestseller writer receives praise from professionals and people who struggle with eating problems.

OkiData C5100n review
The OkiData C5100n is a compact workgroup printer offering relatively fast prints for its time in both black and color, making it a strong choice for users who want a color laser printer for a small workgroup with a larger paper throughput. However, it does lack a number of features that may prompt users to seek out a similar model, like the OkiData C5300n, instead.
The C5100n measures 16.6" by 20.7" by 13.6" and weighs approximately 57.3 lbs, making it relatively small for a workgroup printer and likely more than possible to store on a desk or table, even alongside other equipment, if a dedicated printer cabinet or credenza isn't available.
While the C5100n's print speeds were more than satisfactory when the printer was released in 2003, this is a point where the printer now shows its age poorly, as many newer models offer speeds up to 40-60 pages per minute in their workgroup offerings.

I'm a servant leader," declared Braylon.
"What does that mean to you?" I asked.
"It means that I put my people first. I identify their needs. I want to help people grow, to reach their potential."
"What do you do if there is a conflict between a member's priority and the company's mission?"
"I advocate strongly for my people. I take care of them; they will take care of me."
Robert Greenleaf coined the term "servant-leader" in the 1970's. Some, still today, invoke the concept to argue against what they see as top-down power.
Effective leaders utilize many servant leader concepts, for example: listening to, empowering, and developing employees. However, full-blown servant leadership may not sink employee efforts to a common mission.
Teams require members to bend some of their needs to achieve teamwork, as in, subordinate personal aspirations to team goals. Effective leaders strive to make all better off by influencing, persuading, cajoling, and evening requiring employees to seek first the mission.
Perhaps it is better to think of leader-employee relations as a partnering, as in–we both have skin in the game and we both have a lot to gain, but it is my responsibility to ensure that we strive together in this journey.

"Yesterday's History; Tomorrow, a mystery; Today is a gift, It's the present!"
This chorus of a catchy song runs through my mind as I wrap my Christmas gifts.
"Today is a gift, it's the present."
As I tie the red and green ribbons I linger over the words, "Today is a gift"... and I wonder, "How often, especially at this time of year, do I forget the "today" of my life?
With change happening all around, and more promised on the brink of a new year, it is easy to tend to live in the yesterdays and the tomorrows of our lives. We can completely miss the gift of today as we hurry on to accomplish our never ending "to do" list. Sometimes the regrets of yesterday and the fears of tomorrow become subtle thieves that rob us of our present! Sometimes the increasing busyness that has invaded most of our lives leaves us breathless and forever anticipating "when this is past… then I'll take some time to… "
I fold the pretty paper around another gift. "The precious present". Yes today is all I have. Today is all any of us ever have. I sometimes forget the preciousness of today. I sometimes forget the gift today is.
As I place the newly wrapped gifts under the tree, I determine afresh to live in the precious present, to see today as a gift and not to hurry it on to yet another event scheduled in my day timer. I will hug those I love more. I will encourage more. I will choose to slow my pace here and there more… and linger in my today. I will choose to listen better… with eye contact.
I survey the gifts under the tree. I hadn't expected such refreshment in the task. I choose to sit for a moment and thank God for the today of my life, imperfect as it may be. I ask Him to help me remember that the present moment is truly a gift. With His help I will live more fully in today… and look for Him in it.
"Today is a gift, it's the present."

Meet the second installment in my you-asked-for-it-you-got-it series of patterns! Bob the Blue-Footed Booby. Huzzah!
I know, right? Yes, just like Jerry the Monkey, you guys in the Danger Crafts Group on Ravelry asked for a Blue-Footed Booby named Bob, so here he is! And seriously, I had the BEST time knitting this. I kept telling Mr Danger, "Oh! Gotta go work on my Booby honey!" It does not get old. If anything, it gets funnier every time you say it. Hrmmm, could this be why you guys asked for a Booby?
But less on the Booby talk....I hope you guys love him like I do! I came up with this cool concept to hold 2 strands of yarn together throughout so that you could be sure to get that awesome mottled coloring that Booby's have on their head. I am really, truly pleased with how it came out, too.
AND, this pattern has the awesome new feature of being able to be knit in one piece! I hear all of you who hate sewing the limbs on, so on this pattern I wrote it so you can either knit everything separately, or you can pick up the beak, wings, and legs. Cool, huh? I think you will love it. But, because it is a bit tricky, I am going to do a KAL on here starting on Monday (8/27) to give you a little more in-depth look at how to do some of the techniques in this pattern.
There you go! Bob is on sale for $4 for the first month and is available on my website, etsy shop, or Ravelry. I also have a yarn bundle on my website and in my etsy shop if you want to make the amazingly huge, squishy, loveable, cuddleable, huggable, perfect giant Booby in Lorna's Laces shown in the pattern.
Go forth and create, Booby Knitters!

LONDON (AP) — Andy Murray & Jo-Wilfried Tsonga will meet at Queen's Club on Friday in the first Britain-France tie in Davis Cup in 23 years.
Theirs will be the second singles, following James Ward vs. Gilles Simon, as drawn on Thursday.
Richard Gasquet, the Frenchman who went furthest at Wimbledon in reached the singles semifinals, was placed in a new doubles pairing with Nicolas Mahut. They will face Wimbledon doubles finalists Dominic Inglot & Jamie Murray on Saturday.
p>Gasquet needed more rest, France captain Arnaud Clement said.
France, last year's runner-up, is in the quarterfinals for the 14th time in 15 years, a period in which the British spent most of the time in the Euro-Africa zone.
Murray has a 10-2 win-loss record against Tsonga, including 4-0 on grass, although none of those matches were easy.
Murray beat Tsonga on the same Queen's court in the 2011 final, & 2013 semifinals, & twice at Wimbledon. Tsonga won a set off him each time.
Tsonga was 16-5 in Davis Cup singles, though he's never played a tie on grass, like all of the France team.
Simon & Ward will match up for the first time, yet know each other well.
"I have practiced a lot with James for the last two years because our coaches are really close," Simon said.
"I know what to expect tomorrow. It will be complex yet I feel I'm ready for the match, & it will be a satisfactory one."
Simon has a 5-9 record in Davis Cup singles, & only two of his five wins were in live rubbers.
But the highest-ranked Frenchman at No. 11 – Tsonga was 12th, Gasquet 13th – was the form grass player among them having made the semifinals at Queen's Club, quarterfinals at Nottingham, & quarterfinals at Wimbledon, where he was rolled over by Roger Federer.
Ward played the same events & went 2-3. But he has been inspired by Davis Cup, where the British No. 2 has produced some of his best results, including a win over American John Isner from two sets down in March.
Against Inglot & Jamie Murray, France will gamble on Gasquet & Mahut, who have never played Davis Cup doubles together. Gasquet has played only one doubles on tour this year, while this will be only Mahut's second tie.
The reverse singles on Sunday start with Andy Murray vs. Simon, followed by Ward vs. Tsonga.

I'll join you if the timings for broadcast on my side of the Atlantic work out. I'm not sure where in the UK it's going to be available, although I believe Amazon will be carrying it. I'm looking forward to watching it, I've heard that the first season doesn't actually cover that much of the book, although I believe it looks in more detail about some of the characters and their relationships.

I just realized I had not posted any pictures of my fish, so here they are! I also realize I was so tired last weekend when I posted my update, that I mistakenly said I had 5 large fish. Well, there are six. Plus, there are two fingerlings. Those I couldn't take pictures of or even find, but they must be in there or they'd be floating on top.
I've also decided to name these and all future fish. There is just nothing better than a personal connection. I've established an elaborate and sophisticated naming system for said purpose.
Basically, these fish are named as follows: Grill-Dinner-1; Grill-Dinner-2; Grill-Dinner-3; Grill-Dinner-4; Grill-Dinner-5; and the cutest one of all, Grill-Dinner-6. If you would like detailed instructions and the basic formula for my naming algorithm, please write and send $29.99. :)
Where the Wild Pre-Grill-Dinner Things Are:
My tank, when full, and when my system is fully operational, should hold around 180 fish. That's a lot of BBQs. The naming system though, is guaranteed to work for well over that number, so act now while supplies last.
