Hey guys! I'm starting the year out with another trailer breakdown, and this movie needs no introduction. The first Doctor Strange trailer was all about table setting, introducing a lesser known (to non-geek crowds) Marvel superhero to the unwashed masses. This movie looks nuts, but nuts enough to break the usual Marvel mold? Let's take a closer look.
The trailer opens with several shots focusing on the hands of Dr. Stephen Strange, and this is no accident. As we saw in the first trailer (and as we see recapped here), Dr. Strange was a brilliant surgeon before he became a master of the mystic arts, a man whose intellect was matched by his physical skill.
The real stars of this shot are Bandersnatch Cummerbund's snake eyes, but his hands loom large in the frame. I could be reading too much into this (says the guy who regularly goes through movie trailers frame-by-frame), but this could be director Scott Derrickson going above and beyond to emphasize how important Strange's hands are to his life and career. If you're going to rip something away from a character, you need to establish just how important it is first. And yes, there's even a shot of those hands playing a piano, just to rub it in.
Long story short: Strange is in a car accident and his hands receive the worst of it, requiring extensive treatment from which he will never fully recover. Here's Strange recovering in his hospital room, with Rachel McAdams's Christine Palmer sitting at his bedside. Naturally, losing the key to his life's work sends Strange into a downward spiral that leads to a quest around the world an to him discovering his affinity for sorcery, so it all does work out in the end.
I don't want to say that the scenes of a bearded and weary Strange wandering the world look like they were borrowed from Batman Begins B-roll, but that's exactly what they look like. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I just can't help but wonder how much of this movie will be yet another origin story and how much will focus on Strange actually being the most powerful magician in the MCU.
In the first trailer, we got to see Tilda Swinton's Ancient One literally shove Strange's spirit out of his body, allowing him to experience his first astral projection by force. This is another angle from what appears to be the same scene, except that she's now backing the doctor into some kind of inter-dimensional barrier. Man, she really is just tossing her latest student into this magic thing head first…
Look! It's the new Marvel Studios logo! And in a nice touch, the background is a kaleidoscope of ever-changing colors and shapes, a nod to the weird and wild magical world that Strange and his buddies occupy.
There's (rightfully) been some controversy over the casting of Swinton as the Ancient One, a character who has previously been depicted as an Asian man in the comic books. Still, it's hard to get too upset at the thought of Tilda Swinton playing an ageless mystic, mainly because she's actually an ageless mystic herself in real life and did all of her own magic for the film.
Let's blindly speculate about who this guy could be. The robe instantly gives him away as a magic user of some kind long before he starts actually, you know, using magic, but it's the yellow color that suggests where his allegiances might lie. We know that the climax of Doctor Strange is a big battle between good and evil in the streets of New York, and we see in later shots that at least some of guys backing up Kaecilius (more on him in a moment) are wearing yellow. So there you go: this individual is almost certain a henchman, albeit a henchman with the ability to alter reality. This doesn't look like an Avengers movie, in which the heroes take on an army of disposable minions who go down with a single punch. The villains here are men and women who have mastered something mysterious and absurdly powerful. Watching Strange battle villains who individually have a power set similar to his should make for a nice change of pace. And yes, the way the buildings are changing here do vaguely recall Inception, but that film's shifting of reality and perception was rigid and grid-like. This is far looser, like watching reality get filtered through, well, a kaleidoscope.
This shot (presumably from much, much earlier in the movie) finds the Ancient One taking Strange on a field trip, with that ring of fire acting as a portal that can transport the user great distances. It's a nifty way to visualize this concept for sure. Specifically, she appears to have taken Strange to the Himalayas. This is almost certainly a reference to the original Doctor Strange origin story, where he was trained by the Ancient One in these famous and deadly mountains instead of a massive compound located closer to the ground.
Speaking of which, it looks like Strange is far from alone when it comes to training in the mystic arts under the watchful eye of the Ancient One. His studies in the comics are a more isolated and lonely experience, but in the MCU, he's surrounded by fellow apprentices.
It wouldn't be a Doctor Strange story without characters consulting thick and ancient tomes full of magical knowledge, so here we are. Could this be our first look at the Book of the Vishanti, Strange's go-to reference guide? In the comics, this book is an indestructible guide to defensive "white magic," with spells calling upon the powers of the three spirits collectively known as the Vishanti.
Depending on who's drawing him, the mystical energies emanating from Doctor Strange's hand when he does his work can look like rigid symbols being projected from nowhere or amorphous clouds of energy. The film version seems to go with the former. It's a good look, and the design looks appropriately ancient. Could this be the magical equivalent of Tony Stark's helmet interior? A HUD from which he can operate his abilities and learn more about his enemies? He's seen using it often enough in this trailer for me to mumble "maybe" into the void.
In the comics, Baron Mordo is the apprentice of the Ancient One, who betrays him, attempts to kill him, is thwarted by Doctor Strange, and ends up becoming the main ongoing nemesis of our hero. The MCU take on the character, played by the great Chiwetel Ejiofor, is a completely different take. He still appears to be the Ancient One's right hand man, but it seems unlikely that he'll go bad in this film. And if he does go bad in a future sequel, having spent two hours being a loyal friend to our hero should make that betrayal feel less naked and a lot more painful. Honestly, I'm just hoping the film avoids what the awful Green Lantern movie did with Sinestro – if he becomes a villain in a post-credits scene with zero previously seen motivation, I'm prepared to flip my chair over (before quietly and calmly returning it to where I found it because I respect other people's property).
Everyone, myself included, expected Mads Mikkelsen to be playing a famous Doctor Strange villain like Nightmare or Dormammu. Instead, we get a curveball. He's playing Kaecilius, and I won't lie, I had to Google that name because I didn't know much about him. It turns out that the comic book version of the character is one of Baron Mordo's disciples and lead henchmen, assisting him with all manner of dastardly tasks. The MCU version is a former student of the Ancient One who has gone rogue and plans to do something really bad, presumably. Interestingly, Mikkelsen has said in interviews that Kaecilius' motivation actually makes sense and that he's a more complicated villain than he initially seems. Then again, that wouldn't the first time an actor has said that about a half-baked comic book movie villain. In any case, watching an actor as good as him vamp around in robes while wearing that crazy make-up should help make up for many deficiencies. We may not know Kaecilius' deal, but the make-up effects are killer and speak a thousand words: here's a guy whose eyes have been opened, who has seen more than anyone else was supposed to see. It's a simple effect, but it's unsettling and grotesque and looks fantastic.
One of the aspects of this trailer I enjoy the most is just how hard magic looks. It requires years of study and the ability to read ancient books written in languages that may not exist. And then you have to pull off these spells that look like they require tremendous physical effort. In terms of raw abilities, Doctor Strange is probably the most powerful character in the MCU, but it's not effortless. If Scott Derrickson set out to create the iconic Doctor Strange shot, he seems to have succeeded. I have nothing to add here beyond saying that he's made one of my personal favorite Marvel superhero look very, very cool.
Three things about this shot. First, this appears to be connected to the other big city action scene. Second, the mass destruction may be misleading, because Doctor Strange appears to be using his magic to reverse the damage and put the buildings around him back together. Third, if you squint, it looks like that's Strange and Kaecilius brawling in the streets. Yeah, this certainly looks like an interesting sandbox to stage a massive, earth-shaking, climactic brawl between the forces of good and evil.
Doctor Strange is now one of three MCU heroes (after Thor and Vision) to rock the cape look. As cool as it looks, Doctor Strange's red cape isn't a fashion statement. It's the Cloak of Levitation, an ancient magic artifact that allows him to fly. Of course, he eventually dons it himself, but it's seemingly under lock and key early in the film, probably under the watchful eye of the Ancient One and her followers. While his cape is a magical item with actual functionality, this means he can do that cool thing where he walks toward the camera and swishes it over his shoulder. There's a reason DC superheroes tend to wear these things: they look amazing.
And to round it out, Shamballa: an ancient, mythical city written in ancient Hindu and Buddhist texts. Also: the wifi password at the Ancient One's training compound. Thanks for bearing with me guys!

UK spends double on supporting fossil fuels in developing countries than renewables
Billions of pounds have been spent by the UK in the last few years to support fossil fuel industries in developing countries according to new analysis.
Almost half (46 per cent) the £6.13bn the UK put into energy in developing countries between 2010 and 2014 went to gas, oil and coal projects, the study for aid agency Cafod by the Overseas Development Institute shows.
During the same period only 22 per cent of funding for energy in poorer nations was for renewables, while just under a third (29 per cent) went to investments which used both renewable energy and fossil fuels or where energy sources could not be identified.
Some £2.85bn went to fossil fuels, more than double the £1.35bn that was channelled into renewable energy investments.
Aid campaigners warned the continued funding for polluting energy sources abroad undermined the UK's commitments to tackling climate change and helping nations develop sustainably.
The analysis also highlights a clash in energy spending between government departments, with the Department for International Development (DfID) spending more aid money on renewable energy (32 per cent) than on fossil fuels (22 per cent).
But more than 99 per cent of the support for energy via UK export finance went on fossil fuels.
Dr Sarah Wykes, lead analyst on climate change and energy at Cafod, said: "To tackle climate change we have to leave fossil fuels in the ground and switch rapidly to renewable sources of energy.
"Yet the UK carrying on a business as usual spending pattern overseas in recent years suggests a huge inconsistency in policy and a missed opportunity to promote greater investment in renewable technologies, as DfID has tried to do through its spending.
"It doesn't make sense for there to still be any public money going into fossil fuels overseas, whether that's through aid money, loans or export finance to support British companies operating overseas."
She said the Conservatives had made manifesto commitments to continue to lead on international action against climate change and extreme poverty.
But supporting fossil fuels overseas put that leadership at risk at a time when it was needed more than ever on the Paris Agreement – which commits countries to cutting emissions, but which the US is pulling out of – she said.
"We'd like some clarity from the government on how it plans to make its energy spending consistent with its promises to tackle climate change and help the world's poorest people access modern energy services," she added.
Campaigners warn the world's poorest people will be worst hit by a changing climate, and that rolling out more fossil fuel power supplies such as coal would entrench poverty rather than lift people out of it.
Support for renewable technology is vital for reaching people living without energy, with sources such as solar panels the cheapest and easiest way to get power to people in remote rural areas, Cafod said.
A government spokesman said: "The UK is a global leader in tackling climate change – we played a key role in securing the historic Paris Agreement and have helped 12 million people gain access to clean energy around the world through development assistance.
"Our priority is to help developing countries establish a secure and diverse energy supply, supporting their economic growth as part of the transition to a low-carbon economy."
Last week a study predicted that swathes of South Asia could become uninhabitable by humans by 2100 due to rising temperatures brought about by climate change.

The Mine Ban Treaty Intersessional Standing Committee Meetings took place in the first week of June and discussed various topics, including disturbing news of land mine use in Yemen.
The meeting was run by the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, which is a global network of 100 countries that work together in order to have a world free of antipersonnel landmines. The ICBL was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997 for its efforts in bringing around the Mine Ban Treaty. Its work now focuses on making the treaty a reality.
The reports of Yemen using antipersonnel landmines was a shocking development, and is a serious violation of the Mine Ban Treaty. Yemen responded by reconfirming its commitment to the treaty and promising a full investigation into the matter.
Besides the recent developments in Yemen, the conference also discussed other topics like the announcements by Bhutan and Venezuela that they have completed mine clearance and a presentation by Mozambique on its clearance efforts.
The ISC meetings are the center for the Intersessional Work Programme, which was established in 1999. The ISC meetings are an opportunity for member states of the ICBL to report on recent progress they have made towards making the MBT a reality.

Relationship issues, money worries, health scares, starting a new job — stress lurks behind virtually every corridor in one's life. We are advised to avoid stress or just 'deal with it'. After all, it is often blamed for everything from the common cold to cardiovascular disease. However, ignoring a pounding heart, nauseous feeling, and breaking sweat is challenging for the best of us. So what is the solution to dealing with this insidious enemy?
Recent stress research suggests that it is not stress per se but the belief that stress is harmful to health that is responsible for its detrimental effects.
In another stress study, participants who were told that their bodies' responses to stress were helpful did not experience the constriction of blood vessels that is usually associated with negative stress and can lead to cardiovascular disease. In fact, their blood vessels stayed relaxed — their hearts were still pounding, but their bodies mimicked the kind of response usually associated with joy and courage.
The implication of these two studies — that how you think about stress matters — could be the difference between experiencing a heart attack in your 60s and living well into your 90s.
But that is not all: we now also know why stress makes you social. Ever wonder why we crave help and support in moments of stress? It is all down to the release of the famous 'cuddle hormone' oxytocin. The natural biological stress response releases a hormone that nudges you to seek support. Oxytocin also has many physical health benefits: it is a natural anti-inflammatory agent, it relaxes blood vessels, and it helps heart cells heal from stress-induced damage. The body has a built-in mechanism for stress resilience — and that mechanism is human connection.
The message is clear: instead of avoiding discomfort, go after what creates meaning in your life. If you encounter stress, think of it as your body helping you to rise to the challenge. Instead of running away from stress, believe that with the support of your friends and family, you can handle life's challenges. Believe in yourself, because stress believes in you.

The film tells the story of the first African-American flyers to serve as pilots during World War II.
The actors felt honored to tell the story of the brave men who helped pave the way for the next generation.
"This is a story about young men who saved the world, its real. There's a specific responsilbity, especially when they're on set," Wilds said.
To help create authenticity, director Anthony Hemingway had the actors go through a version of boot camp, with no access to cellphones or television, to help the actors build a strong bond.
"We're in tents and makeshift little shacks," Ne-Yo said. "There're eight of us with beds like foot to foot." The boot camp also included actual flight time.
"Being in that plane, I felt like I was 10 years old like on my first roller coaster ride," Wilds said. "It was just like , 'This is the most amazing thing ever.'"
"Red Tails" is rated PG 13 and is in theaters.
Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly identified Tristan Wilds as Nate Parker.

About the Elyria Apple Festival
The Elyria Apple Festival began in 1980, with a pumpkin of an idea.
The idea for the festival began in the spring of 1980 at an Ohio Banks Association meeting in Columbus, Ohio. Attending from Elyria were Bill Fitch and Al Murphy of Elyria Savings and Trust (now FirstMerit) and John Bates, manager of the Elyria Chamber of Commerce. The program at the meeting was presented and intermingled with The Pumpkin Festival in Circleville, Ohio. The group from Elyria was so enthused they decided to hold a festival in Elyria.

How could Nayt, or anyone for that matter, resist a snake print jacket?
Music Lessons
by Nayt Housman
It's strange how aging opens up worlds previously considered closed, just like the 80's for me. This era fed us some of the most kitch music and it's pop culture celebrated all things bold and quirky. Until I reached the ripe old age of 30 I thought all things 80's should be avoided and treated if infected because I associated it with all the wrong things in that era. Then bit-by-bit I discovered new parts of the 80's that sang to me like the sirens of the deep sea (especially New Wave and New Romantics). Slowly I started desiring a perm and geometric fluorescent clothing designs. Why had I been so against this amazing era?
Well kids it's time to tease up that fringe and put on your thinking caps because its 80's trivia night. Let's get schooled!
Q: What 1984 song inspired the name of a chain of 1980's themed clubs in the UK?
A: The Reflex by Duran Duran
Duran Duran became quite well known for the sexual nature of their music and videos and regularly worked with fashion designers, giving them the title 'the prettiest boys in rock'.
Q: What 1984 single caused controversy when the accompanying advertising featured photos of two members, one in a sailor cap and vest, the other with shaved head and rubber gloves with slogans like 'all the nice boys love sea men' and 'theories of bliss, a history of Liverpool from 1963 to 1983, a guide to Amsterdam bars'?
A: Those dirty boys from Frankie Goes To Hollywood.
The boys were not short of confidence either stating that "Frankie Goes to Hollywood are coming ... making Duran Duran lick the shit off their shoes ... Nineteen inches that must be taken always."
Q: Which 1980 song (which itself was a top ten UK hit) was the inspiration for Depeche Mode's 'Just Can't Get Enough'?
A: To Cut A Long Story Short by Spandau Ballet
A: To Cut A Long Story Short by Spandau Ballet
The band began as "The Cut" then changed their name to "The Makers" before finally settling on "Spandau Ballet" when a friend saw the name scribbled on the wall of a nightclub toilet in Berlin. The name refers to the way victims in Spandau Prison would wriggle and jiggle when hanged.
Next time you hear a song you hate, ask yourself why, but never write it off totally because you might just find yourself in love or even obsessed with it and start collecting records and CD's and trying to convince your friends why Spandau Ballet is better than the Beatles without actually having any stats to back it up.

TMDL Alternative
Category 4b (TMDL Alternative)
Communities do not have to wait for a formal TMDL planning process. Municipalities can take the initiative to voluntarily create programs to clean up impaired waters. Because these programs are locally controlled, there is an opportunity to reduce overall costs and allows for greater control over the cleanup process.
Impaired waters with pollution control programs in place that are expected to solve pollution problems (i.e., meet water quality standards) are commonly referred to as "Category 4b" waters because they are moved from Category 5 (impaired and needs TMDL) of the State's Integrated Report to Category 4b (impaired but TMDL not required). While pollution control programs are not TMDLs, they must have many of the same features, and there must be some legal or financial assurance that they will be implemented.
A Category 4b demonstration allows DWR and EPA to formally recognize actions that, from a local perspective, provide a more appropriate and effective response to impairment than TMDL development. DWR has developed guidance for communities interested in developing a plan to address impaired waters. The guidance describes the elements required to qualify for Category 4b. Communities interested in pursuing this option should review the guidance document and plan to meet with DWR's Modeling and Assessment Branch prior to development. Some communities may find that they are already meeting most if not all of the required elements....

Easter Season begins on Easter Day and lasts 50 days, ending on Pentecost. In 2017 it begins on April 16, 2017 and ends on June 4, 2017. In most churches, the decorations are white, gold, or white and gold. White represents the angels who announced the resurrection, while gold symbolizes triumph.
During Easter Season, the theme of worship is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. According to scripture, Jesus rose from the dead on the first Sunday following Passover. See Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:1-3, Luke 23:56-24:3, and John 20:1.
Pentecost is a Jewish festival that falls on the fiftieth day of Passover. In biblical times, Jews from all over the Roman Empire gathered in Jerusalem for the festivities of Pentecost. On the Pentecost after Jesus' resurrection—ten days after Jesus had ascended into heaven—the apostles and other believers were gathered together in one place, when they were suddenly empowered by the Holy Spirit to preach the gospel. They went out into the crowds and attracted attention by preaching in the native languages of all the people present. This created quite a stir. Peter seized the opportunity to address the crowd, preached Jesus' death and resurrection, and won several thousand converts. These events are recorded in Acts 2:1-41.
Accordingly, Pentecost is celebrated by Christians as the birthday of the Church by the power of the Holy Spirit. Since the Jewish Pentecost is the fiftieth day of Passover, the Christian Pentecost is the fiftieth day of Easter.
Pentecost is not the coming of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit made His first appearance in Genesis 1:2! Rather, Pentecost is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on human flesh to give birth to the Church.

In BriefLuxembourg has just set up a $227 million fund to help develop space mining as a viable industry and entice companies to set up shop within its tiny little borders.
Luxembourg has had its sights on space mining for quite a while. Now, it's betting big: it has just set up a €200 million ($227 million) fund to entice space mining companies to set up shop in the tiny nation, in a bid to become the "Silicon Valley" of space resources.
The initiative will primarily benefit two American companies: Deep Space Industries and Planetary Resources. The fund will be used to finance asteroid survey missions that will be launched within three years. Luxembourg will also invest in research and development for technologies needed to identify, extract, and process minerals, water, and other valuable space-based commodities.
A press conference on June 3 of last year also hinted that the fund may be used to make direct capital investments to become shareholders in the two companies.
Luxembourg is also looking at drafting legislation that legalizes the right of companies to extract and own materials on asteroids, the moon, and other celestial bodies. This would be similar to prior legislation passed by the U.S. just last year.

Temple of Amarchand Kiranchand inside the Motisah Tuk, Satrunjaya
Photographer: Lyon, Edmund David
Medium: Photographic print
Date: 1868
Photograph of the temple of Amarchand Kiranchand inside the Motisah Tuk, Satrunjaya. Lyon wrote: ''Turning to the right on entering the Motisha enclosure in its N.E. corner the temple shown in this Photograph will be seen. It was built by Amarchand Khinchand in 1836 and is one of the very prettiest specimens of its class to be found on the hill. It may here be worthy of remark, that no one who has visited Ahmadabad, and studied its architecture can fail to be struck with the great similarity that exists between the ornamenture of these Jain temples and that of Ranee Seepree and other Mahomedan mosques to be found in the capital.''

Easy Chicken and Dumplings
Chicken and dumplings are a notoriously time-consuming enterprise, but the end result is very much worth the effort. However, if you're a time-crunched cook who craves the comforting pleasures of this classic dish, this is the recipe for you. In just under 45 minutes, you can turn the quintessential ingredients for chicken and dumplings—celery, carrots, onion, garlic, chicken, and herbs—into a weeknight dinner favorite. Pillowy dumplings flecked with fragrant fresh herbs cook drop-style in the stock mixture. This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover chicken or Thanksgiving turkey and vegetables if you have them.
How to Make It
Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan. Add 1 tablespoon thyme, 1 tablespoon tarragon, celery, carrot, onion, and garlic; sauté 5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Add stock; bring to a boil. Add chicken, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Reduce heat to medium; cover and simmer 10 minutes or until chicken is done.
Combine flour, baking powder, remaining 1 tablespoon thyme, remaining 1 tablespoon tarragon, remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add milk; stir just until moist. Drop dough, 2 teaspoons at a time, into stock mixture, forming 16 dumplings. Cover and simmer 7 minutes or until dumplings are cooked through.

Richard Ureña earned a recent promotion to New Hampshire. Photo credit: Jay Blue/BlueJays From Away.
Gil Kim had chatted with me for 20 minutes about some of the Blue Jays top prospects. Then I asked him whether, in his first year as the club's first director of player development, he had come across any pleasant surprises – a player who blossomed after starting the season as roster filler.
Kim had to think for a moment. His daily duties involve checking on every player in a minor-league system comprising close to 200 players. It's in his nature to see potential in every one.
"I don't know if it's my scouting background, but I tend to believe in these guys, you know?" he said. "I believe every single one of them can be very good baseball players."
Then he thought some more, and came up with a name: Nash Knight.
If you're thinking Nash Knight sounds like a movie character, you're half right. Knight told the Bluefield Daily Telegraph last month that his father picked the name because he liked a good-guy cowboy named Nash in an old Western movie. At the time of that interview, Nash Knight was tearing up the Appalachian League in Bluefield, Va.
After batting .402 with a 1.060 OPS in 25 games for Bluefield, the next-to-lowest level in the system, Knight was recently promoted to Vancouver.
Undrafted after finishing his college career at Dallas Baptist, Knight signed with the Jays and batted .207 in the Gulf Coast League last season as a utility infielder. In Bluefield this year, he began to turn some heads.
"What sticks out to me – and it's not anything surprising to anybody who knows him – is the attention to detail and the focus he has in his work and the consistent effort," Kim said. "He approaches every aspect of his pre-game routine with detail and focus. If it's a 4-3 or a 6-3 or an F-7, he's running hard out of the box. He gets most out of his abilities. He walks, talks and acts like a true professional. He's very versatile defensively. He's one of those players who just puts his head down and gets to work."
Knight is a long way from landing on anybody's top prospect list. But his character and work ethic exemplify what Kim and his staff look for in a prospect.
"Those are the types of guys you look up in five or six years and all the signs were there," Kim said. "That's why that mentality and that makeup are so important, and really a foundation to building not just a major-league baseball player but a major-league human being."
The other players we discussed – by no measure a comprehensive list – are generally recognized as legitimate prospects by the folks who make the lists, particularly those at Baseball America (subscription required) and MLB.com's MLBPipeline. Naturally, Kim looks on the bright side with every one. Here's what he had to say about them.
Max Pentecost has been catching in the bullpen, but will not catch in games this season. Photo credit: John Lott
Max Pentecost, 23, C-DH, .314/.375/.490 at low-A Lansing
Many Blue Jays fans are familiar with the Pentecost saga:
· drafted 11th overall as a top catching prospect in 2014;
· three surgeries on his right shoulder in two years;
· then, a long, arduous road to build up his arm to throwing strength.
He's still on that road.
When I visited Lansing in June to do a story on Pentecost, he was throwing every day and both he and manager John Schneider expected him to be catching by about this time. As it turns out, the Jays had no plans for Pentecost to do more than DH while slowly strengthening his arm this year.
"I think there's been some confusion (about the plans for Pentecost) from what I've been reading," Kim said. "The most important thing was for him to get consistent at-bats at a full-season affiliate. He's doing very well. We don't plan on him catching before the end of the season."
Pentecost's gap-to-gap hitting habit – he tripled in three straight games last week – has advanced as the season wore on, and the Jays are delighted with his hitting approach as well as his results, Kim said.
"Hopefully next year he will be built up and ready to go (as a catcher)," Kim said. "We still have confidence in him as a catcher."
Pentecost banged up his left shoulder on an awkward slide into home plate last Wednesday. He's on the seven-day DL. "He'll be fine in a few days," Kim said.
Anthony Alford is on a roll after rebounding from two injuries. Photo credit: John Lott
Anthony Alford, 22, CF, .239/.339/.375 at high-A Dunedin
Before the season, Alford was widely regarded as the Jays' top prospect. Then, an opening-day knee injury cost him a month and a concussion idled him for almost two weeks. He was slow to regain his can't-miss form of last season, but recently began to take off. In his past 25 games, Alford has slashed .330/.439/.585. Fourteen of his 31 hits in that stretch went for extra bases.
"Anthony is one of the most impressive people that I have ever come across," Kim said. "His professionalism, positivity, maturity are off the charts, and that's how he dealt with a couple injuries and maybe not as hot of a start as he would have preferred to get out to.
"Through it all, his work ethic never wavered. His commitment and positivity didn't waver. Sometimes we forget his development path and the fact that last year was his first full season. He's had some ups and downs, but he's started to pick it up and we fully expect him to continue to improve."
Richard Ureña, 20, SS, .311/.354/.458 at high-A Dunedin and Double-A New Hampshire
Ureña, a 2012 international signee from the Dominican Republic, is enjoying a breakthrough year, thanks in part to the help of a fellow player at Dunedin.
Kim credits Dunedin manager Ken Huckaby and roving infield instructor Danny Solano with helping Ureña polish his approach. But he also says seldom-used reserve infielder Andy Fermin, the son of a former big-leaguer, assumed a "big-brother role."
"Andy is an experienced, mature, calm presence with a lot of knowledge for the game," Kim said. "As a player, he's taken a leadership role with Richard."
After Ureña averaged 22 errors over the last four seasons, a priority entering the season was to sharpen his concentration and throwing mechanics on defence.
"(The coaching staff has) really made a lot of positive strides with him in terms of his footwork to and through ground balls," Kim said. "That focus and concentration extended to the batter's box. That was the biggest area of focus and subsequent improvement. We can't give enough credit to Richard himself, first of all, for taking on these challenges and running with them, and Huck, Danny and Andy. It was a big group effort, and Richard has really taken his game to the next level."
Sean Reid-Foley has taken off in the Florida State League. Photo credit: John Lott
Sean Reid-Foley, 20, RHP, 10-4, 2.46 ERA, 0.953 WHIP between Lansing and Dunedin
There never has been any question about Reid-Foley's stuff. But last year his strikeout/walk ratio was 1.87; this year it's 4.63. Last year he averaged 3.84 innings per start; this year, 5.67.
He was not keen on returning to Lansing to start this season, but it paid off.
"Our pitching co-ordinator, Sal Fasano, did a very good job of outlining certain goals for Sean coming into spring training," Kim said. "He came in in very good shape, determined to work hard. He left on that trip to Lansing on a mission."
Kim said the Lansing staff reported that Reid-Foley accepted every assignment, from conditioning to sharpening his command, with a vengeance.
"It's been great to see him stay committed to a consistent delivery and emphasizing fastball command," Kim said. "Obviously, he's taken off."
Conner Greene excelled in Dunedin but has had mixed results in New Hampshire. Photo credit: John Lott
Conner Greene, 21, RHP, 7-8, 4.71 ERA, 1.440 WHIP between Dunedin and New Hampshire
After Greene ascended three levels last year, Baseball America ranked him No. 2 on the Blue Jays' pre-season prospect list. He was not pleased when the Jays bumped him back to Dunedin to start this season, but his 2.90 ERA in 15 starts earned him another shot at Double-A. So far, the results there have been mixed: two sketchy starts, then three excellent ones, then two that were unremarkable. High pitch counts have been consistent. His strikeout/walk ratio is 1.45.
"No, there aren't any concerns with Conner," Kim insisted. "He's a confident, athletic pitcher with a naturally gifted arm. He began the year in Dunedin and was one of the better performers, went to an all-star game. We concentrated with him on his focus and he improved greatly and earned the promotion to New Hampshire. He's very young for that level of competition and he's doing well. He's doing what he and the organization had agreed that he would work on."
Bo Bichette, 18, SS, .421/.440/.724 in the low rookie-level Gulf Coast League
The son of former big-league outfielder Dante Bichette was the Blue Jays' second-round pick out of a Florida high school in the June draft. Now on the DL, he got off to a torrid start with 32 hits in 20 games, including 10 multi-hit games.
On July 21, he felt ill and left the game.
"It was an appendix issue, although he has not had it removed," Kim said. "He's shut down for now. We're closely monitoring him and he'll be followed up with doctors here shortly."
Given that the GCL schedule ends Sept. 1, it's questionable whether Bichette will play again this season.
"Bo probably had one of the more impressive starts to a professional career, which was great to see," Kim said. "He obviously comes from a baseball family. He's handling this with a lot of maturity. He'll be fine."

Altering memories
I recently read an interesting article in the Wall Street Journal about altering memories, and I don't mean the DRAM that your desktop computer uses. Apparently it's possible to permanently change your memories. This sounds like something that Phillip K. Dick might have used in one of his science-fiction stories like "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale," the story that the movie Total Recall was based upon. Or maybe it's more like something from Richard Condon's The Manchurian Candidate, the basis for the movie with the same name.
And although researchers claim that their work is only meant to replace traumatic memories, like those that combat veterans or crime victims might have, with less troubling ones, the possibility for other uses seems to be even more attractive. Imagine how intelligence agencies could use the ability to selectively alter memories, for example.
The ethical implications of that use alone makes me wonder whether this research is really something that really we ought to be doing. Like Douglas Quail in "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale," we might end up now knowing exactly what's real and what's not.

No shuttles, hitchhiking or road walking, for that puts you out of the wilderness. If the trails you are intending to travel are separated enough that you cannot walk ACROSS the road, two permits.
In July we're doing a loop from Cathedral-HD-Clouds Rest and out SR/Tenaya TH and had thought about doing a day hike down and up the Mist for an extra day. Question- as the tent, etc will still be at SRx is it legal to just dayhike right to the bottom of HI, exit and go to Curry Village/Yosemite for lunch or supper/restock and then day hike back up to our Tents? I'm pretty sure nobody is going to stop and check us but is it not "officially" proper? We might also just go part way down the JMT and then back up where the Mist meets it but seemed like a fun idea maybe and might allow us to miss some crowds if we went back up late in the day? (how late does the crowd up the Mist end?)

Here I delve into the issue of diversity in early Christianity by using the opponents in John's epistles as a starting point (part 1 of 2). These epistles provide evidence of an early Christian schism over how to view Jesus' humanity. This is part of series 3 ("Diversity in Early Christianity: 'Heresies' and Struggles") of the Religions of the Ancient Mediterranean podcast.
Podcast 3.1: Introduction to Diversity – A Schism in John's Community, part 1 (mp3; archive.org page with various downloading options here).

Sometimes it's hard to introduce someone to a new band, when their sound is so diverse that you don't know which song is The Song, the one that reflect the essence of the band the most. Some of my favourite bands are like that, switching from aggressive metal to soft ballads to pop-rock to something darker like it's no big deal. And the vocalists who can handle different styles of singing are the best!
I can't feature everyone here, sorry my dear Janne Da Arc, Dead Can Dance, Lacrimosa and many others. Only five bands tonight.
Nightwish (Finland)
Romanticide (vocals: Floor Jansen)
Slow Love Slow (vocals: Anette Olzon)
Amorphis (Finland)
Black Winter Day (vocals: Tomi Koivusaari)
Silver Bride (vocals: Tomi Joutsen)
exist†trace (Japan)
liquid (2010 vo. retake ver.)
The Gathering (The Netherlands)
In Sickness And Health (vocals: Bart Smits)
Amity (vocals: Anneke van Giersbergen)

What's your favourite band with diverse sound? Any genre is fine. :)

Earlier today, I read this blog about the modesty culture and how Christian women can wear whatever they desire so long as they "own it." What I found was frustrating and discouraging.
Now, let me be clear: I don't believe there is a single thing a person can do that warrants for him or her to be sexually assaulted. Dressing immodestly doesn't mean a woman who was raped "asked for it." That's ridiculous and disgusting and couldn't be further from the truth.
I am a woman. I am also a Christian. I am more feminist than not. BUT. I believe it is my responsibility as a sister in Christ to do everything [reasonable] in my power to build up my brothers in Christ who may struggle with lustful thoughts. A simple way I can do that is to be conscious of what I put on in the morning. For example, this morning as I headed out with a new-to-me scoop necked shirt, I looked down and realized I had a lot on display. I pulled my car out of the garage, parked it, and ran in to throw a tank top on underneath my shirt.
The truth is, I liked the way the shirt fit me. It had a belt that hit my waist at the right spot to hide my post-baby belly flab. I felt confident in how I appeared. Not to mention I'm breastfeeding, so I'm sure my boobs would meet the standard of the average guy if on display. However, it is not my desire to gather that kind of attention from guys. They don't need to see my breasts, and honestly, I'm sure there are plenty out there who don't want to (it's temptation and they want to avoid it). So when I left a comment on the blog respectfully mentioning that I disagreed with the whole "women should wear whatever they want as long as they own it" notion, I was somewhat surprised by the reprimand I received from other Christians. Comments about how lust is a heart issue and not a sight issue and we are not responsible if those around us choose to sin by entertaining lustful thoughts.
"But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell."-Matthew 5:28-29.
"I have the right to do anything," you say—but not everything is beneficial. "I have the right to do anything"—but not everything is constructive. No one should seek their own good, but the good of others."-1 Corinthians 10:23-24.
"Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks, or the church of God."-1 Corinthians 10:32.
Dressing modestly will not magically fix lust issues within the church. But if it can help just one of my brothers in Christ to not give into temptation to think lustful things about my breasts, why wouldn't I want to do it? Why do other Christians take such issue with the fact that I believe dressing at least somewhat modestly glorifies God? Both lust and modesty are issues that involve the heart. As Christians, where do we put our value? Is it in our bodies? Or is it in the spirit that dwells within us? The average person can appreciate someone's physical beauty with a glance and leave it at that. Truly, the human body is a beautiful work of art created by a Master. But does that give us a right to dress in ways that we know will elicit attention--often the kind of attention that we know will result in us being sexualized? I'm not dictating a specific style of dress, nor am I denouncing specific items of clothing. However, as Christians, we're called to be set apart in this world (1 Peter 2:12), so let us then be more preoccupied with being clothed by the Spirit than how much skin we can get away with showing under the pretense of 'owning it.'

Thanks for these thoughts, and for the way you glorify God by trying to be modest. I'm so tired of the current rantings against modesty.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you for the sweet words. I was feeling rather defeated after reading that blog and working through the comments with her other readers, so it's nice to hear I'm not totally whack. Yes, I said 'whack.'Delete

Life is busy for all of us. It's so easy to get so busy that instead of home cooked meals we grab food through the drive through and eat on the run. A big timesaver is cooking for your freezer.
You can do this as simply or as complicated as you want. Some do once a month cooking. However, it's also handy to double up on a casserole or main dish that you're making and freeze one. This is a bit more manageable for me. For the most part, I cook meat and freeze it. Then use it to make a meal at a time.
My favorite thing to cook is ground beef. I just cooked up about 10 pounds of this and put it in my freezer. It is so nice to pull that package of frozen cooked ground beef and use it for whatever I need. Spaghetti, a casserole, tacos, burritos, anything! It eliminates a step and a pan to be used.
How to cook the ground beef:
I place several pounds of ground beef in my stockpot and then add some water. Usually a 2-3 cups. Then season the beef however you like. This time I just used salt. then break up the meat as it cooks. You don't have to stay right there with it. Just break it up occasionally to get it to the size crumbles you like. I like mine pretty fine.
Packaging the meat:
I use a strainer over a bowl to drain the meat and then put it in containers to go in the fridge to cool down. I usually like to let it cool before I package it for the freezer. I just use sandwich bag and then put them all in a freezer bag. Make sure that you get as much air out of the bag as possible. Don't forget to date it so that you know how long it's been in the freezer. Every now and then a bag can get away from you if you have a large freezer.
I highly recommend doing things like this to save time. You can freeze any meat after it's cooked. I even have some pork from a roast I fixed in the freezer. I have pulled a package out for a quick lunch and have it planned to use for bbq sandwiches soon.
The freezer is an awesome tool and one that I wouldn't want to be without. I would love to hear your favorite freezer tips!
God bless,
P.S. Here are a couple of my favorite sites for freezer cooking.
30 Day Gourmet
Friendly Freezer
There is a yahoo groups called Friendly Freezer that goes along with this. I highly recommend joining because they are a great group of helpful freezer cooks. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Friendly-Freezer/

White Plains Rugby Football Club
Westchester's Home to the Fastest-Growing Sport in America!
A 501c(3) Organization Dedicated to the Development of the Sport of Rugby Football, the Personal Growth of Young Men and Women, and Support of Our Local Community.
As sports enthusiasts agree, athletic competition serves a valuable purpose for our young people. It promotes character, teamwork, leadership skills, and self-confidence. Rugby is particularly notable for this, owing to its longstanding culture of respect and non-violence. Give your boys and girls a chance for this life-changing experience. Enroll them in our rugby skills camp and watch them grow, not only as athletes, but as people too.
The White Plains community and Rugby club continues to grow stronger with the addition of another local White Plains Business.
Save the Date!
After a slow start, White plains turned up the pressure and score 4 tries in the second half, 6 total, beating Long Island, 41-21.
Amid 17 Penalties, New York Rugby Club scored 5 penalty kicks and hold off White Plains 13-15.
After tons of fun and laughs at the first annual Jojo Golf Outing, the Club continued the JoJo weekend as our eastern brothers the Connecticut Greys travelled to Peekskill, NY.
A tough defensive fight on both sides, White Plains were unable to catch up to Old Blue and lost by a score of 12 to 19.
After coming up short in a strong start against the Village Lions, White plains turns to Old Blue on JoJo Weekend to look to start the season 1-1.
The first match of the season saw White Plains test out their new side against a strong Village Lions. A strong showing from both sides, it was White Plains errors that was the difference on the final score.

First of all well done for being so pro -active about your health, what you have heard about Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm screening is correct, there is a national screening programme which is run by Public Health England running across the country for men aged between 65 and 74 to invite them for screening for the presence of this and prevent any complications or problems developing later on in life if one is found to be present. The programme itself is not run by the Gp surgeries but by Public Health England and you should receive an invite through the post nearer to the time of your birthday inviting you to attend. These screenings are carried out in the community either in a mobile unit or a dedicated clinic. If you are unsure whether you will be receiving an invite provided you are registered with a GP surgery (as this is where Public Health England receives the information from) one should be arriving through your door regardless. You could also contact your local Public health office or clinical commissioning unit for the area where you live to confirm you will be invited for screening at that time.
You can also read more about the national screening initiative here:
AAA screening
And you can also find your nearest NHS screening facility by using this link here:

Celebrities like Reese Witherspoon, Ben Affleck, Tobey Maguire and Jennifer Garner don't seem to care about Elizabeth Warren's propensity for claiming minority status – even when its not earned.
The aforementioned stars opened up their wallets last night to raise money for Warren, the Mass. Senate hopeful known as "fauxcohontas" on the Web for fabricating that she's 1/32nd Cherokee.
The event at J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot production studio in Santa Monica on Monday was billed as "A Massachusetts Evening" and Affleck's co-hosts were Matt Damon and The Office's John Krasinski.
Both Damon and Krasinski, however, were filming on location and couldn't attend the fundraiser. Affleck went to work on his own to make sure the event was packed. It drew about 150 Hollywood donors, along with more than 200 individual donations to the Warren senatorial effort.
Attendees included Affleck's wife Jennifer Garner, Reese Witherspoon, Zach Braff, Dana Delany, Tobey Maguire, Ed Zwick, Marshall Herskovitz, Alan Horn and Writers Guild president Chris Keyser. Other contributors included Steven Spielberg, Rob Reiner, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Sally Field, Michael King, Harvey Weinstein and Alan Ladd Jr.
