Stack and Tilt vs Conventional Golf swing | How Can Stack and Tilt Make it easier to Play Higher Golf!
Stack and Tilt vs. The Traditional Golf Swing continues to be an interesting topic in the golfing world. I would argue that Stack and Tilt is the Traditional Golf Swing. The best players in the world all Extend, Tilt and Turn their bodies during a golf swing. All high level golfers hit the ground or bottom out in the same spot every time. All high level golfers hit the ball far enough to play any golf course and control their direction.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter recently stated that he believes World Cup referees should be full time officials if they want to serve in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Blatter apologized several times this summer for blown calls by the tournaments refs and in recent months the president has expressed his interest in changing the format for officials in future World Cups as an effort to reduce the number of blown calls in the tournament.
Among the possible changes the World Cup could see regarding officiating is younger referees and the possible induction of goal line technology to all World Cup final matches. But Blatter also has expressed his desire to have full time officials calling the matches and this point seems so obvious to me that it is a bit frightening that it wasn't done before. Only two officials this summer listed officiating matches as their primary source of income and that was out of 30 representatives. This makes no sense at all considering that the World Cup invests billions of dollars into the event and is considered the biggest soccer tournament in the world every four years.
In other words the biggest and brightest event should have the best officials officiating it much like it expects to have the best footballers in the world competing. Having a referee board that is over 90% amateur is not only illogical, but it is insulting to the viewing public. So much is at stake in the World Cup that it should be no other way then to have the very best in the game calling the matches.
I think the younger referees is a moot point considering the cutoff is already at 45 years of age. And goal line technology should be added considering the huge mistake made in that England match this summer. But to me the thing that really needs to be changed is exactly what Blatter is talking about. Refs should be considered no different then players and four years of active professional involvement in European football should be mandatory. The organization should even consider hiring the officials considered the best in each respected big league and overpay the men in order to assure their involvement in the tournament. In other words FIFA should name an All Star team of officials to judge the World Cup every four years much like a national team would evaluate their most talent footballers.
Doing so would not only assure the best officials were involved in the event, but it would remove any amateur referees in the process due to their lack of involvement in league matches. And this needs to happen.

Perhaps Dems Should Be Criticized, But the GOP Has No Room to Lecture Anyone on Campaign Finance
Sean B. is busting Tennessean Republican chops after they flapped attacks on Democrats for not returning tainted money already spent. TN GOP is actually defending contributors who misrepresented prices, who merely paid penalties they owed for their malfeasance, and pocketed the rest of their ill-gotten gains. TN GOP doesn't have the slightest elbow room to point fingers at Dems while lionizing their own rogues.

Hi Michela,
Netflix breaks seasons up differently than TLC. The most recent episode available on Netflix aired in the United States in November 2011. The network has aired about 60 new episodes since then.
"14 Children and Pregnant Again" was the first reality TV special featuring the Duggar family. For links to the Duggars' shows on YouTube, visit our Watch Full Episodes page: http://duggarsblog.blogspot.com/p/watch-full-episodes.html
Glad to have you as a reader!

Hello everyone, it's Annette Green here today with my final post of the year for Susan's Garden Design Team. It's been a wonderful year working with Susan's beautiful flower dies as well as many other Elizabeth Craft Designs products. I'll surely miss it, but look forward to seeing all the new designs from this amazing company and hope to come back to visit as a guest designer in 2017. Today I've created a masculine card using Susan's Carnation die to prove that you can use flowers on cards for men, too.

Hello again, friends! It's Annette Green with Susan's Garden Team here today with a festive holiday tag.

I've combined both of Susan's poinsettia dies to create a Marble Pink Poinsettia tag. Let me show you the steps so you can try one yourself.

Halloween Elixir with Spooky PoinsettiasSeptember 27, 2016
Annette Green here today with Susan's Garden design team to share a fun Halloween decor project. I recently received a whimsical (and tasty) bottle of wine from a good friend who knows how much I LOVE Halloween. We drank it up with our friends, and I immediately washed out the bottle and put it aside for a future project. I'd love to share how I altered it into a fun and festive decor piece for my home during the fall season.
Amaryllis Gift BagsSeptember 19, 2016
Hello everyone, it's Annette Green from the Susan's Garden Club Design Team here today to share some pretty gift bags adorned with the new Amaryllis flower die. After doing some research on this flower, I discovered the Gigantic Pink Amaryllis. I loved the coloration of this particular type.
Fall Candle BaseAugust 29, 2016
Hi everyone, it's Annette Green today with Susan's Garden Design Team. Even though Florida is rather hot and humid this time of year, it's Fall in my craft room. While strolling through my local craft store the other day, I came across realistic-looking scented candles with battery-operated wicks. This is what inspired me for my project today.
Fall Flower PotAugust 15, 2016
Hello everyone, it's Annette Green from the Susan's Garden Club Design Team here today to share a special birthday card for my Mom.

Game of Life is a fantastic class… one of my favorites! I was privileged to take my Practitioners Certification in NYC with Hiro, the Japanese businessman who created the class, and my Instructors Certification with both Hiro and Vianna in Montana!
It is a 3 day class that addresses limiting belief patterns that keep us from achieving our life goals. Exercises focus on parental obligations, releasing the past, becoming accepted by society, how to handle peer pressure, receive infinite abundance, be ready to succeed, visualizing and manifestation. We learn how to step out of drama and into our personal power with confidence and humility while creating security and safety. This class is excellent for learning how to navigate in the business world while creating a fulfilling personal life.
By the end of this class, life won't seem so serious, but more like a game, which when well played creates happiness, contentment, well being, and fun!
Seminar Includes: Game of Life Practitioners Manual
Prerequisites: Basic DNA, Advanced DNA, Dig Deeper

2016 Top 10
Last month, out of curiosity, I counted up the new releases I had seen and written about here, from the past six calendar years, 2011-16. From oldest to newest, the numbers per year are: 48, 34, 33, 30, 20, and 29, for a total of 194 and an average of 32.3. (This total excludes films seen at film festivals.)
48 seems like such an outrageous number now. I know there are a number of reasons why I haven't come close to that total since - finances, greater interest in older movies, less willing to pay for crap. I don't have any great observation to make out of this; I just wanted to do this for the sake of doing it. Anyway, here's my top ten:
10. Kubo and the Two Strings. A genuinely entertaining animated film with some remarkable stop-motion work. It didn't reinvent the wheel, but it didn't need to for it to please me.
9. The Witness. Maybe it's because I live in Queens and am so familiar with Kitty Genovese's neighborhood, but this document of her life, her death, and the search to discover how and why she died stayed with me a long time afterward.
8. Manchester by the Sea. A well-written story of guilt, rage and family, anchored by a fine performance by Casey Affleck.
7. Hell or High Water. Perhaps the sleeper hit of the year. I'm very glad this crime flick has gotten Oscar recognition; it's well deserved.
6. 20th Century Women. Annette Bening shines in this delightful, profound and witty ensemble, full of complicated, flawed, yet thoroughly human characters.
5. Sing Street. Young love and rock 'n' roll make for a potent combination in this fun and heartfelt story from Once director John Carney.
4. Loving. Jeff Nichols hits it out of the park with his depiction of the interracial couple who would let nothing stand in the way of their love, not even the law.
3. La La Land. Is it the best movie musical of all time? No. Is it the best one of 2016? Yes... and that's all that matters for now. Let history decide where it ranks among the greats.
2. Fences. Denzel. Viola. Denzel. Viola. Denzel. Viola. Nuff said!
1. Moonlight. Barry Jenkins' extraordinary film is a love story for the 21st century, one which expands and deepens the meaning of the word to embrace everybody who has felt different, against the grain, like an outsider, and tells them yes, even you are entitled to share in this basic human emotion... no matter what anyone else may think.

Okay. I will make an effort to see all of those films. You have convinced me.ReplyDelete
You still haven't seen LA LA LAND yet? What are you waiting for?ReplyDelete
Isn't Sing Street a delight? Also, have you watched Elle?ReplyDelete
I missed ELLE. I think my movie club friends saw it and liked it. I really dug SING STREET. I could relate to it a lot.ReplyDelete

Relief at being allowed to return home was short-lived for residents of 12 apartments on Vei 228 after they were forced to evacuate their homes again Wednesday due to building and infrastructure damage.
The apartments at housing units 15, 17, 19, and 21, owned by Statsbygg, were among the 114 residences evacuated between the Dec. 19 avalanche and 8 p.m. Tuesday, when a total of 200 residents were allowed to return.
After inspecting the building after the traffic ban was lifted, Statsbygg has concluded that the building must be abandoned," an announcement posted at the city's website Wednesday states. "The building was hit by an avalanche Dec. 19 and has received some structural damage. In addition, infrastructure in the form of district heating, water and sewage to the building was destroyed by the landslide, and the lack of heat has caused freezing of the water pipes and the warm-water heating inside and under the building."
Residents are not being allowed in to retrieve items and a fence is around the building is planned to prevent entry.
"There will be a plan made for the evacuation of the items inside the homes, and residents will be contacted regarding information and participation," the city's statement notes. "It is not allowed to go into the area without prior agreement."
The city is also working to provide alternative housing for displaced residents.

The Missing Link: Why Good Students Lose Great Jobs
November 1, 2001
by Kerry Harding
During a recent career day at a prominent architectural school, representatives from firms all over the country had assembled to recruit the best and the brightest for intern architect positions after graduation. To their surprise and dismay, most of the students made tactical errors that doomed them to failure before they had even begun the interview process. Most showed up wearing shorts, t-shirts and sandals; many were ten to fifteen minutes late and had given little thought as to how to present their body of work to date or anticipated what kind of questions might be asked during the interview itself.
Most design schools do an abysmal job of preparing their graduates to enter the professional world. While most have sufficient graphic and technical skills to enter the profession (though many do not), unlike other professional schools such as business and law, with a few exceptions such as the University of Cincinnati, there is no additional training offered by design schools on the mechanics of landing a job in a design firm.
Much of this training is assumed to be provided by the institutions career counseling office. In reality, most design students have little if any contact with this for two reasons: prospective employers do not work through it to identify candidates, and most college career office staff are unfamiliar with the nuances of securing an entry-level design firm position.
Much of what students need to know about the fundamentals of the job search process is, available, and should be mandated in some form as a precursor to graduation. While it may have been or should be the parents responsibility to teach the fundamentals of business etiquette and table manners, the social graces have not been high on list for many Generation X parents who are, themselves, products of the anti-establishment Sixties Generation.
One firm principal of a mid-sized, East Coast firm was so appalled by a candidates lack of fundamental table manners at a luncheon that he terminated the interview before he had even reviewed the students work. Some basics of any job search process could and should be team-taught by the design school and placement officehow to dress appropriately, be on time, send a written thank-you, anticipate questions, know something about the firm doing the interviewall standard procedure, yet frequently overlooked by inexperienced design students.
The next oversight is the preparation and packaging of the students portfolio. In the early 1980s, one accredited Midwestern design school required a class during the programs fifth year called Portfolio. During that semester, all graduating students learned to select, package and present samples of their work and related experience in a way that was professional, straightforward and graphically consistent.
In recent years, the gap between the clued-in and the clueless has widened considerably. As part of a recent student design competition, background credentials received ranged from a resume written in long-hand on paper with clouds in the background (and eleven misspellings on the first page alone) to Adobe Acrobat® files with handsomely designed pages, to self-launching Power Point presentations burned onto CD ROMs.
Ours is a business which relies heavily on the visual representations of abstract ideastheir omission, or worse, badly executed examples, can be deadly to a career search.
Finally, students need to understand the importance of communication skills. How they talk, how they write, body languageall are important components of the interviewing process because, ultimately, these become part of the design process. Those who are considered great architects today are not only great designers, they are also great communicators. People like Frank Gehry, Michael Graves, Renzo Piano, Alan Chimacoff and Bill McDonough have been widely acclaimed for being able to sell the sizzle of a design concept and, as the song goes, realize the power of the dream.
When confronted with a prospective candidate, firm principals and recruiters are thinking to themselves, Does he/she have the potential to lead teams? Meet with clients? Present to a Planning Commission? Job seekers are thinking next fall while firm representatives are looking ten years down the road.
How can design schools better equip their graduates to be effective, attractive candidates? One creative approach has been implemented by Ball State Universitys College of Architecture and Planning through the creation of its Indianapolis Center. There, students have sustained urban experiences as a part of their design education, with closer proximity to the offices of potential employers, as well as establishing joint programs with the College of Business to better position students to understand the financial factors of development projects. Joe Bilello, the Colleges new dean says, I believe that professional preparation is a shared responsibility involving education and training done in school and the office in inverse proportion to one another.
Teaching students not only the importance, but the mechanics of effective written, verbal and graphic communication as well as ensuring the framework is there to understand the selling process, whether it is themselves or their design concepts, remains one of design academias greatest challenge. May next years school survey reveal that at least some of the participants have risen to meet it.

It is totally false to claim that the best approval-style vote is always to vote for one candidate. It is the best way to vote only if your utility for electing your favorite candidate is tremendously higher than for every other. But that is generally not the case – and it is totally false to claim real-world voters will act that way. To prove that:
ANES polling data shows approximately 90% of the voters who claimed their favorite was Nader in 2000 strategically voted for someone else, suggesting that the vast majority of voters care more about maximizing their effect on the election than on getting their favorite elected at all costs.

Streaks Continue: The Rockets extended their run to 17 straight with an impressive 110-99 victory on the road against Milwaukee. The Pelicans picked up their 10th consecutive W in Sacramento 114-101. Anthony Davis exited the game with an ankle injury and will likely miss Friday's game against the Wizards, but is not expected to be out for more than a few days.
Raptors First to Clinch Playoff Spot: Behind a 42-point effort from DeMar DeRozan,The Raptors fought back from an early deficit to beat the Pistons 121-119 in OT. DeRozan found a wide open Fred VanVleet who knocked down the game winner with just over a second in OT. With the win, the Raptors become the first team to officially clinch a playoff spot. They host the Rockets on Friday in a match up of conference leaders.
Cavs Get Key Road Win: The Cavs have struggled on the road at times this season (16-15) but picked up an impressive W against the Nuggets, who have been tough to beat in Denver (24-10 Home). Lebron had a signature type game, just missing a trip-dub (39pts, 8 reb, 10ast). Jokic, who has continued his had 36 pts, 13 rebs, and 6 ast.

Bargain Gaming – Mafia II Review
You've gotta love the mafia. Sure they were a bunch of criminals who killed, bribed, and stole with a passion that was almost unbelievable, but at least they had style. A combination of fancy clothing, a fantastic primary weapon (everyone recognizes the infamous Tommy gun), and a sense of professionalism that today's criminal organizations sadly lack. It is because of this style that these mobsters are still romanticized to this day, with a bevy of amazing movies and literary works in their honor. 2k looked to capitalize on their popularity in the games Mafia and subsequently Mafia II, allowing the player to take the role of an up and comer within the mob, seeing both the ritz and the darker realities of this infamous profession hand in hand. Unfortunately it would seem that Mafia II has taken this good mixed with bad approach to how it's integrated the game play as well, with a mix of fantastic and groan worthy elements to confuse the matter. So the question is: is Mafia II a good game that deserves your attention despite a few rough spots, or does it deserve to sleep with the fishes?
Let's start out with my favorite part of any game, and arguably the most important part of any title apart from the actual game play mechanics: the story. And just as you'd expect from a game based around a group with such a fascinating history, it's a lot of fun. You traverse the bottom rungs of the mafia, running the gamut from forced enlistment and prison to fighting your way up through the ranks. It's an interesting take on the criminal world, as it doesn't go out of its way to glamourize the events that take place. It's a rather realistic take on the world, with all of your actions having consequences, and not all of them are positive. In fact, it would seem as most of them screw you over! Sure, some aspects of the plot are rather predictable (let's go take some money from a loan shark, what could possibly go wrong?), but overall the plot twists and turns in directions that the player might not expect, with the game ending on, for me at least, a rather sour note. But all in all the story was a major plus for me, and even though I'm not a big mafia buff or a fan of the genre I still found myself caught up in it until the very end.
Honestly though, I think my favorite part of this game was the characters, the good and bad alike. You take on the role of Vito Scaletta, a straight forward kind of guy who joins the families because he doesn't want to work himself to death for nothing like his father did. He's a likeable character, putting the good of his friends before himself or the families, though this also serves to separate him from the more ruthless members of the mafia. He is joined by his buddy Joe, my personal favorite character, a wisecracking career criminal. He's a bit of a bully, ruthless to those that stand in his way, but he's also a jokester that looks after his friends, willing to give up on his own goals in order to help Vito. They make a truly enjoyable duo to watch in action, two old friends mocking each other even as they have each other's backs through thick and thin. Add in an awesome support cast on both sides and you have all of the elements you need to craft a top notch story.
Unfortunately I have to say that 2k dropped the ball at the end of said story, as while the characters are enjoyable and the narrative compelling enough to drive you through the bulk of it, the game's ending feels abrupt. Spoiler warning: skip this paragraph if you plan on picking this game up. The whole thing ends on a bit of an anticlimax, with you having just killed one of the three family bosses in order to save your own skin. The problem is that the way the game leaves things implies that you've just inadvertently sentenced Joe to death after he selflessly helped you, with Vito content to just drive off with no goal in mind. There is no sense of achievement, no final rung on the ladder to reach or goal to complete, just a sense of emptiness as the credits role. This feeling is only compounded by the game's lack of length, as I was able to clear the entire story on my first play through in less than 10 hours, making it feel like the game got cut off arbitrarily. Perhaps 2k just ran out of time or money to finish properly, but it left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
This taste is only exacerbated by the actual game play, as it suffers from what I call tepid realism. The driving is a great example of this, as the game boasts a wide selection of classic cars all of which handle realistically. This sounds great on paper, but it's miserable in execution as most of the cars handle like drunken sloths. And considering the sheer amount of driving that the game forces you to do in order to get from one point to another, this quickly becomes a chore to do. Add in some annoyingly strict police who will try to chase you down for running a red light, let alone speeding, and getting anywhere quickly just becomes a pain. I was fortunate enough to have the collector's edition so I had some special cars with which to spice things up, but even they handled annoyingly at first. This was by far the most annoying part of the game for me, as nothing is more annoying than running from the cops and trying to make a quick turn, only to spin out and get mauled by machine gun fire.
This annoying sense of "realism" also extends to the game's combat system, as head shots are instant kills and wounds stay with you (at least partially) until you have a chance to recover. Once again this sounds good, but the problem is that this goes both ways, so on the harder difficulties you can be picked off by a seemingly random headshot at any given time. And given the lack of checkpoints in some sections, this can be a real problem when you're playing on hard mode as you end up having to redo a section due to an unlucky shot as opposed to a lack of skill. Add to this a broken hand-to-hand combat system, where countering is the only viable option for consistent success and where the game seems to randomly decide whether or not a punch lands and you have a formula for great frustration. Seriously, get a gun, find some cover, and never look back.
The only thing the realism really got right in this game lies within the aesthetic elements, as the game feels like it's taking place in the '50s. The cars are one obvious example, but everything from the posters on the walls to the clothes on people's backs act as a visual reminder of the world in which you are inhabiting. The game is very pretty to look at as well, with some amazing backdrops scattered throughout the city and a great presentation all in all. This is definitely a next gen game from a visual perspective. The audio is also solid, with fantastic voice work for all of the different characters and a banging soundtrack for when you're driving (and you will be driving!) along the city streets. Add in a top notch orchestral score to add a sense of drama and tension to the game and you have a title with a sense of style to match the genre it's covering.
This game is a tough nut to crack for me, as on the one hand I really want to recommend it. The story is intriguing, the characters compelling, and the overall experience was rather memorable if a tad bit frustrating. However, the aggravating driving controls coupled with an irritating combat system and an anticlimactic ending really make me question whether or not this title is a worthwhile investment. Sure, I enjoyed it, but if you don't care for the subject matter at hand then I really can't recommend it to you. Try it out if you can find it for a few bucks or if you're really into the whole mobster scene, but otherwise steer clear of this one.
Well, can't win 'em all I guess. Hopefully next time we'll have something a bit more appealing for you guys to take a look at. Until then, feel free to leave a comment below letting me know what you think. This is Bargain Gamer, logging out.

went for a little walk around the garden in the cold .rain and wind. But its starting to look promising
I have put some runner beens in and peas I have put pots over them so the slugs can not get to them Once they are a bit bigger I will uncover them. Not sure if I am doing the right thing but I lost loads of young plants to the snails and slugs last year
Made my self another cold frame in it I have put Radish and lettice
I grew this from seed last year It is called fire and ice lettice. I kept it in the cold frame all winter. It tastes great in salads
This is the Angelica plant in the herb garden It has started to come to life again It gets very big in the summer time and it has a lovely leaf on it I like the look of it
I have put my sweet peas in hope the slugs leave them alone. They are an old fashioned scent mix
The cold frame is full and looking good and this is a rose which was in the garden when I moved in Just starting to grow It has lovely pink blooms and flowers all summer long

There's no better feeling than taking delivery of a brand new piece of technology that you know you've acquired for a lot cheaper than it should have been. In an ideal world, we'd all be able to get the latest and greatest tech at prices that we deem to be reasonable, and therefore not have to line the pockets of the corporate giants. However, we don't live in that ideal world just yet, so for now, we will have to do with sourcing some of the best tech deals around with some of the best discounts applied.
Today's deals range from discounted Beats Solo2 Wireless headphones, to the nimble 128GB USB 3.0 flash drive. There's also a 10,000mAh fast-charging power bank battery on offer, a quick-charging USB wall charger for your smartphone and tablets, as well as Moto 360 smartwatch. The deals will expire anytime now, so you may want to hurry up and get them before it's too late.
SanDisk Ultra Flair USB 3.0 128GB Flash Drive ($27.67, usually $79.99)
At that price, it should probably be enough that it's a flash drive that offers you an additional 128GB of no-questions-asked storage capacity. If however that's not enough, then there's high speed USB 3.0 performance, password protection for private and important files, and a sleek all packed in a durable metal casing. Transfer speeds should be good for up to 150MB/s, or a full length movie in less than 30 seconds.

The Awesome Twosome
Like the husband, my friends...and as I realised earlier this week, the help that we have in our maid, Zareena and our driver, Vinod. It's strange how these two characters have become, in just a few short months, like members of the family - I have blogged about them before, too.
Before leaving Bombay, I bought our maid Zareena a mobile phone, which which she was very kicked, and gave our driver Vinod a handsome tip - instructing them both to take good care of my husband. It was gratifying to see that they both seemed suitably sorry to see me leave, despite the generosity. (Zareena got teary eyed and reached up from her three-feet-two-inch height to give me a hug, and Vinod told me 'kuchh galati ho gayi, to maafi maangta hoon', which I was quite mystified by until Vijay explained to me this was a standard way of saying goodbye in some parts - strange!)
Anyway, Vijay was travelling abroad earlier this week, so on the day he was to return to Bombay, I called Zareena with a set of instructions, on her new mobile.
Me: Hello, Zareena?
Zareena: HAAAN? HAY-LO? (Sounding very excited to be getting a call, and bawling at the usual unnecessary decibel)
Me: Zareena, main bol rahin hoon (Realising she probably has no clue what my name is, has always just called me 'Madam'). Dilli se.
Zareena: HAAN! MADAM!! MEIN GADI MEIN HOON ABHI! KAISE HO?
Me: (Wondering what Gadi she is talking about...bus, train, auto...there is enough noise in the background for it to be all three) Theek, theek. Aur Tum kaise ho?
Zareena: HAAN!
Me: (Realizing I better get on with this quickly) Achha Zareena, Saab aaj raat ko aa rahen hai wapas. Kuchh khaane ko banaya?
Zareena: HAAN! BANAYA, NA..
Me: Accha. Aur unhe camera nahin mil raha tha, wo dhoond ke rakh dena, theek hai?
Zareena: HAAN! MILA, NA...
Me: Aur ek aur baat - aur hamara bank se courier aane waala tha, wo aaya kya?
Zareena: HAAN! AAYA, NA...
Me: (Satisfied) Achha, theek hai phir, Zareena. Dhyan Rakh na. Bye..
Zareena: ACHHA MADAM! (Gleefully reassuring me) MERA PHONE BAHUT ACHHA HAI. ACHHA, BYE!
Having done the dutiful wifely thing by making this call, I then proceeded to take my afternoon siesta. It was broken two hours later by a call from Vinod.
Vinod: (In his slow, soft spoken drawl) Hullooo? Madam? Mein Vinod bol rahan hoon.
Me: Haan Vinod. Kya haal hai?
Vinod: Bilkul First Class, Madam (Usual endearing sing-song lilt to the 'First Class') Aur Aap?
Me: (Finding this to be a good expression and not quite awake) Haan, bilkul First Class. Kya ho rahan hai?
Vinod (Supremely politely and apologetically, explaining the reason for his call) Madam, aapne Zareena ko aaj phone kiya tha. Usse kuchh samajh nahin aaya. Mujhe phone kar ke bola, ki Madam ko phone karke poonch lo kya bola...
I was dumbfounded for a minute, and then saw the funny side of it all, as usual. I laughed and repeated all the instructions slowly and carefully for Vinod, who seemed to have no problem understanding it - and then bid him goodbye.
These two conversations left me thinking about what prizes these two characters are, individually, and as a team. Alright, they have their own quirks, but then who doesn't? In any case, I know how difficult it is to get good help - someday when I have the strength for it, I will tell you about the Bangalore maids (Sickly Sarojamma, Clever Kalpana, Creaky Josephine...shudder, shudder).
In any case, Vijay and I have been fairly fortunate in Mumbai, to get Zareena and Vinod. Overall, I guess, we are just two clowns who have sort of lucked out with these two clowns.

I'm here! I promise! October through December is rush season for portrait photographers. I love it! My to do list is ever growing, but it means I am working with fabulous clients, so I'll take it!
A couple weeks ago I met up with Megan for a maternity session. Wanna hear what a small town Bradenton is? Her husband, Aaron, has been a friend of my brother, Jesse since preschool. Megan is a fierce soccer player. According to my brother Jesse, she wiped up the floor with most of the boys when Megan, Jesse, and Aaron played together last! Aaron has a younger sister Ashlie (more on her and her family coming soon). I babysat for Aaron and Ashlie when they were young and I remember a lamp breaking once. Sorry about that Pam and Ernie!!! LOL! I love staying involved with great families. I hope to become a part of their milestones through the years!
Megan's session was technically a "mini" session, and I loved them so much I'm going to share them all! Megan is stunning. I mean STUNNING and the camera loves her.

Utility-scale, Zero-emissions Hydrogen Power Plant
Jetstream Wind Inc. officials said the $219 million plant would use electricity from wind, solar and other renewable energy sources to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen would then be burned in a turbine - similar to those used by natural gas-fired power plants - to generate enough electricity to power about 6,000 homes and businesses. The 10-megwatt plant also would be capable of capturing and storing oxygen in liquid and gaseous forms for use in the medical field or other secondary markets.

Alan Pardew told sports betting pundits in his opening press conference as Newcastle United manager that he was in it for the long-term.
This seems even more the case now as he expressed his delight to those studying sportsbook patterns about securing Cheik Tiote on a long-term deal.
The midfielder has signed a new contract, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2016/17 season. This extended deal follows his £3.5m arrival from FC Twente back in August.
Speaking about what this deal means to the club, Pardew said: "Cheik is exactly the type of player I want in my squad. He is fantastic on the pitch and in the changing room.
"He offers us strength and presence in midfield and has proved himself to be one of the best in his position in the Premier League.
"He's adapted brilliantly to the English game and I'm delighted he's signed a new deal with us."
The final point Pardew makes is worth repeating – Tiote has been superb during his first campaign for Newcastle. Not many players come from abroad and settle in straight away, but he has done.
Of course, the stand out moment is the fantastic equaliser in the 4-4 draw with Arsenal, but that aside, he has been consistent alongside Kevin Nolan in midfield.
The 24-year-old has made 21 appearances so far, and he himself is pleased to stay at St James' Park and build on the good start he has made to his career in England.
Speaking about staying at Newcastle for the long-term, he said: "The experience of playing in the Premier League has been better than I ever hoped it could be. This is a great club and the fans have been brilliant – I have never known support like it."
Hopefully for Newcastle and Tiote, this is just the start of a blossoming career for the Ivory Coast man in the famous black and white shirt.

Fair Labor Association statement on sourcing from China and forced labor risk
The Fair Labor Association (FLA) is deeply troubled by credible reports of forced labor and other violations of fundamental human rights in the Xinjiang region of China. We call for an immediate end to these violations and pledge to work collaboratively with governments, civil society, unions, and multilateral organizations to achieve this goal.
Forced labor in Xinjiang is having a negative impact on manufacturing in China and other parts of Asia because cotton and other raw materials are sourced from this region. Recent reports also describe government-mandated employment schemes for Uyghurs using forced labor outside of Xinjiang.
We have directed our affiliates to review their direct and indirect sourcing relationships, identify alternative sourcing opportunities, and develop timebound plans to ensure that their sourcing is in line with the FLA's principles. The FLA will engage with our affiliates as well as governments and other stakeholders to identify shared solutions to end these human rights violations.
For the past 20 years, the Fair Labor Association has worked to protect and promote the rights of workers across the global supply chain through collaboration among business, civil society, and colleges and universities. FLA is governed by a 19-member Board of Directors that includes an independent chair and eighteen members equally representing leading universities, labor and human rights organizations, and companies. FLA-affiliated companies and the factories that supply them commit to uphold high labor rights standards. The FLA conducts transparent and independent monitoring to identify the root causes of labor rights violations and work toward sustainable solutions.
