Israeli author Etgar Keret jokes that he needs one of those changing signboards outside his home to count the number of films that have been made based on his writings. The 50 mark was recently passed when the filming of a clay-animation movie based on his story For Only 9.99 (Inc. Tax and Postage) – which includes voiceovers by Geoffrey Rush – got underway this month.
"It's a great compliment to see my works in film," says Keret, one of Israel's leading voices in literature and cinema. North Americans can now see the movie Wristcutters: A Love Story – which was adapted from Keret's bestselling novella, Kneller's Happy Campers – at cinemas throughout the US and Canada.
Wristcutters, which was nominated at the Sundance Film Festival, will be screened this month at the Chicago International Film Festival, the Festival of New Cinema in Montreal, and at the Milwaukee International Film Festival.
Keret has a huge following in his native Israel as well as around the world. The 39-year-old has authored four short story collections in Hebrew, two in English, two children's books, a handful of novellas, graphic novels, screenplays, and collaborated anthologies. His works have been translated into more than 20 languages. He has won Israel's Prime Minister's Award for Literature and the Israeli equivalent of an Oscar for a film he helped write and direct.
To mark the new English translation of his short stories collection, The Nimrod Flipout by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, Keret recently held a reading in Tel Aviv. While he assumed that no more than a dozen people would show up to an English-speaking event in a Hebrew speaking country, more than 80 people crammed into a local bookstore to hear him talk about his books.
His readers have "turned him into one of their heroes, a cult author, but it wasn't his choice. He claims to represent no-one," Dov Alfon, editor-in-chief of Kinneret-Zmora-Bitan Dvir Publishers in Israel, told ISRAEL21c.
Indeed, for a guy who can most often be seen dressed casually in baggy pants and a T-shirt, and who sports a gap between his front teeth, Keret does not seem like a person who would inspire a huge following. He says he never imagined himself as a famous author, and still has trouble identifying himself as such.
Keret's output is very different from that of model writers such as Amos Oz, David Grossman, and A.B. Yehoshua who write about ideology, politics, the Holocaust, and Jewish history. While those writers are renowned for their extensive prose, Keret's stories are concise and usually run three pages in length.
Moreover, Keret explores themes of identity, love, and urban alienation through strange, snappy chronicles of contemporary Israel.
"[Keret]'s stories deal with the minutiae of Israeli society; with snapshots of reality and thus he seeks to pass comment on the larger issues. His stories resonate with the authenticity of the everyday life of ordinary people," says Alfon.
Keret's stories are short, funny, sad, and thought provoking. In The Nimrod Flipout collection, from the opening story, 'Fatso', through to the last tale, 'Himme', the reader will find clever and fresh perceptions on sex, adolescence, family, romantic relationships, and friendships.
His tales also often revolve around death and suicide – which he writes about in a matter-of-fact style. The title story of his collection was motivated by the suicide of his best friend while they were in the army together. The story is not morose but rather about feeling out of place within society.
Characters in his stories are a motley, eccentric crew of nobodies who usually take ridiculous measures to deal with the traumas of daily life. They are the weaker members of society who feel out of place with their surroundings.
The amiable Keret says he is inspired and influenced by life itself and the people in his life. He is married to actress/author Shira Gefen with whom he has a son. His parents are Holocaust survivors, his brother lives in a tree house in Thailand, and his sister returned to the ultra-orthodox fold of Judaism and has 11 children.
Many of the stories in The Nimrod Flipout collection take place indoors or in confined spaces. Keret says this is not just a coincidence. He says that what's happening in Israel and the region affects his writing.
"It had to do with writing the stories during the second intifada, when people didn't go to coffee places or didn't go out a lot. So when there's something happening in Israel it has an indirect effect on my writing. I never write about the political situation but rather how it affects me," Keret tells ISRAEL21c.
Keret, who teaches creative writing at Ben-Gurion University, excels in his ability to seem straightforward and casual, but as the stories progress shows that his writing is packed with witticisms and sharp commentary.
While he says the stories are Israeli, he also stresses that "many of the problems in Israel are not unique regional problems. They're widespread human problems that in Israel are in a sense more extreme. The Middle East didn't invent violence. A lot of people think that if there was peace in this region, there would be peace around the globe. I don't hold this view. I feel that those who highlight the Middle East as a problem are actually talking about their own problems. We have our problems with the Hizbullah; the international community has its troubles with other terror groups."
His stories are allegories or metaphors. And while Keret offers accounts of life's quirks in Israel, the international audience will find it easy to identify with his works.
According to Lorin Stein, an editor at Farrar, Straus and Giroux, his stories are obviously not written from an American perspective.
"At the same time, most of them take the form of either confessions or fairytales – you can always feel the presence of a warm, human storyteller. So even if an American reader may not feel spoken 'for', he or she feels spoken 'to'," he says.
"We are much more alike than we think," says Keret. "In my story, "The Bus Driver Who Wanted to Be God", it doesn't matter that I wrote it while picturing a Tel Aviv bus driver on Allenby Street. It doesn't make a difference if you're in Chicago or Austin or Toronto everyone recognizes the bus driver and can identify with him."
Literary events in which Keret has taken part in North America over the years have proven he has admirers outside of Israel. Keret has given readings in Toronto, New York, Philadelphia, Miami, Chicago, and Montreal, among other locations. In April 2007 he will tour the West Coast in support of The Nimrod Flipout.
"Etgar's readings drew a lot of people which is rare for a collection," notes Stein, adding that the book was very widely reviewed, "especially for a story collection, to say nothing of a collection in translation."
Two of Israel's top Hebrew to English translators, Miriam Shlesinger and Sondra Silverston, were employed to convert Keret's stories into English.
"[Keret] takes an enormous amount of care and trouble over the English language translations of his work. He works with two translators… It's a slow process but I think the results speak for themselves. There are no puns, no language tricks in his books; he deals with the human condition via stories, not with language," concludes Alfon, of Kinneret-Zmora-Bitan Dvir publishers in Israel. "It is certainly not a coincidence if he is the most widely-translated Israeli author."

MacDONALD, Finlay Michael
59, died Thursday morning, December 30, while playing tennis in Halifax.
Born in Sydney, August 2, 1945, he was the son of the late Senator Finlay MacDONALD and Ann (MacKENZIE) MacDONALD. He was educated at St. Francis and Saint Mary's University High School, St. Francis Xavier University and Dalhousie Law School. Finlay spent his professional life in broadcasting and politics.
Finlay began his broadcasting career at CJCH Radio in Halifax and then, while still in law school he moved on to television, creating the current affairs program ID which was the predecessor to ATV's top-rated Live at 5. After anchoring and reporting at CJOH-TV in Ottawa, Finlay became CTV's first national correspondent for Atlantic Canada. Finlay rose to the pinnacle of his profession when he was posted as a national reporter for CTV News on Parliament Hill. His marquee accomplishments included being the first Canadian journalist to ever interview Cuban President Fidel Castro in Finlay was an entrepreneur and an innovator. He built a pioneering television network, The Star Channel, which revolutionized the pay television industry in Canada. In recognition of his accomplishments, he was appointed to a Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission National Royal Commission. He later used his expertise to become one of the nation's leading regulatory and licensing consultants in the broadcasting industry.
Never one to seek the spotlight, Finlay offered counsel to countless successful business, political and professional leaders. A life-long lover of politics and a committed Progressive Conservative, Finlay was among the first to recognize the potential of Nova Scotia Premier John Hamm, and served as a trusted advisor from the premier's earliest days in politics.
Fin was a consummate gentleman whose compassion and style were legendary, as were his infectious laugh and his ability to live every moment to the fullest. Finlay loved tennis. He loved winters in Long Boat Key, Florida and summers in Chester. His idea of a perfect day was two sets of tennis in the morning, "tubing" with his nieces and nephew, two more sets of tennis in the afternoon and then some quiet time on the wharf with Maggie and the family dogs, Jack and Eddy.
He is survived by his beloved Maggie; sister Mary (Kevin) RYAN, Halifax; brother Ian (Sandra), all of Halifax. He is also survived by his nieces and nephew, Emmett and Katherine RYAN, and Sonja and Dana MacDONALD, all of Halifax.
Visitation will be Monday, January 3rd from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. at Snow's Funeral Home on Windsor Street in Halifax.
Funeral Mass will be celebrated by Reverend Father Thomas Mabey on Tuesday, January 4th at 10 a.m. at Saint Mary's Basilica on Spring Garden Road in Halifax.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Adsum House or the Victorian Order of Nurses of Halifax. Email condolences: firstname.lastname@example.com

KEATING, Charles -- I Remember
By Peter HAYS, Friday, December 2, 2005, Page S9
Peter HAYS, a Calgary television producer and director, writes about Charles KEATING, whose obituary appeared on November 23.
Charles KEATING could be as imposing as he was kind. In the spring of 2000, I was desperately trying to find financing for a television satire of A&E's Biography called Liography. It was a project I had wanted to do with actor Leslie NIELSEN, and had been commissioned by the Comedy Network, but had failed to get the full backing of Telefilm. It was at risk of evaporating.
My friend and former colleague Nancy REGAN, then a host at ATV News in Halifax, suggested I ask Charles for money.
Charles was known to have made a fortune when he sold his Dartmouth cable company to the Shaw group. As a former reporter for the Halifax Daily News, I knew he was a big Liberal, but I'd never asked him for anything. A few days later, I was sitting in his office, surrounded by dozens of photos of Charles with famous people. He asked me in a booming voice why he should invest in my wild idea. "Because," I promised, "You will be repaid in full before anyone else profits from the project."
"Peter," he growled, "I don't need you to get to heaven." Indeed.
Charles did invest, making the series, which was a success, possible.

Karen Finley on 9/11
By JERRY TALLMER
In a club called Fez, in a basement under the Time Cafe, corner of Lafayette and Great Jones Sts., Liza Minnelli in a golden-tasseled gown is gasping and deep-breathing and whooping and swooping and exclaiming: It was such a beautiful day for a tragedy!
Except that this isnt Liza, its Karen Finley in a golden-tasseled gown and black Liza wig. The two-hour show, called Make Love, every Sunday night at 8, is Finleys latest anti-establishmentarian exclamation mark. There are eight or ten assistant black-wigged Lizas in it, two of them male (Chris Tanner, with mike; Lance Cruce at the piano), an ironic accompaniment of sentimental song, and, ça va sans dire (it goes without saying), a plenitude of hyperbole, the more outrageous the Finleyer.
But that line, It was such a beautiful day for a tragedy, is not hyperbole at all, its just straight recall, and the beautiful day was the sunny, blue-sky Tuesday morning of Sept. 11, 2001, when Karen Finley was on her way to a publishing office on William St. to go over the galleys of Aroused, a collection of erotic writings she had edited and contributed to.
A strange thing had happened earlier that day, she says over the phone from her home in Nyack. A peculiar delay. This is not in the show. I remember waking up that morning and seeing the sky so blue, the weather so perfect, no humidity at all. I was supposed to be at the publishers at 7:30 a.m., bringing my computer with me, but I didnt get there that early because of this peculiar event.
I was going to wear a plaid skirt and a small black top, but when I went to the closet where water had been coming in from up above there was what looked like blood on the clothes, on that top, very creepy, like a stigmata. A voice came into my head: This is how accidents happen. I decided not to rush, and took a later train.
The train got her to Grand Central, and the subway got her to the Wall St. area just in time for her to see the first and then the second of the World Trade Center towers falling. If shed been earlier, they might have fallen on her.
Actually she doesnt remember what she saw; she was too terrified; she does remember hearing the buildings fall, and running north until she got, if she remembers rightly, to 14th St.
A lot of people had strange experiences, she says. My brother-in-law worked on the 69th floor of one of those buildings. He got a call: Come in late. I mean, he never gets a call like that
Probably a Jewish plot, an interviewer murmurs.
Finley breaks into laughter. Yes. Good joke. Thank you.
Not a joke was the dust that covered Finleys clothes and body that day, that night the dust of death. I washed my hands when I got home, but I couldnt take a shower. I kept the dust on me. That night is a blank. Im an artist and a poet: Three thousand bodies that was going on in my head. I was crying. I still have those clothes . . .
Im not wearing a Bob Mackie tonight, gushes giggly Liza in the show. Liza No. 2 is. Im wearing an Oleg Cassini . . . Is there anyone in the house who wants to suck a presidents [penis] for world peace? She chokes with laughter.
I had this driver taking me to LaGuardia, Minnelli says. When its your time to die, its your time to die, he said to me. The only people who have cars in this [airport] parking lot, he said, are not going to collect their cars. Call 777-7777.
Thats the reassurance I had from a taxi driver to LaGuardia, says breathless Liza and thats exactly and truly what did happen to Karen Finley shortly after 9/11.
Also this: Soon after that I was on a plane going to Michigan. There was a Muslim family on the plane, the woman in a burka, with two small children. What with all the chaos and confusion, there were no seats for the two children. Im holding one of her babies, and at that point some passenger says: The box cutters are in the diaper box, and everybody breaks out laughing.
Ms. Finley says she knew people peripherally who died on 9/11, but no one close. Did you know anyone? No, I say, I didnt but then suddenly remember Berry Berenson Perkins, whom I had interviewed twice, years ago, and had liked twice, and who died in the plane that took off from Washington and crashed, or was crashed, in Pennsylvania.
Yes, says Karen Finley, and she was a friend of Lizas.
Come to that, why choose Liza Minnelli as the medium through which to say all this about that beautiful day for a tragedy and the nations convulsive aftershocks?
I like your using the word medium, says the centerfold-stunning woman who in 1990 had jolted the bluenoses, the Neanderthals, the religiosos, the N.E.A. administrators, and various Supreme Court justices out of their skulls by painting her naked self with chocolate as she voiced a few home truths her truths, anyway about men, women, power, subservience, sex.
When I was using me, Karen Finley, as a character in a theatrical connection, many people looked on me as a Joan of Arc, a liberal bastion of rhetoric, or blame, or sorrow. But I was also, to some people, just coming across as self-indulgent.
What Im now dealing with [in Make Love] is unresolved childhood traumas disguised as national mourning. Everybody knows the parody Liza, the whole story of Lizas life but in spite of it all, she keeps on working, keeps getting up there on stage.
And thats New York, isnt it? New York is Liza Minnelli. So thats my reason. Thats why shes the medium [to convey] the grossness of the tragedy, and how panic-stricken or depressed people use this tragedy to show their own neuroses, as well as how everyone has been trying to cope some way out of horror.
In the show Minnelli/Finley says: Weve been running our whole lives from childhood abuse and abandonment . . . Everyone looks as Ive always felt . . . America was built on and grows from fear . . . National security, national bondage our countrys an S&M torture chamber.
Does Karen Finley really believe that?
Yes, I believe that. Using fear to control people on many different levels is no way to really secure things. Emotional S&M might not be physical S&M, but it gets the same results. And it isnt necessarily sexual, but its a turn-on. They get turned on.
They who?
The leaders. Even the nation gets turned on.
The chief leader at the moment is of course George W. Bush, about whom Liza in the show says, among other things, he need[s] fear to get it up . . . He loves God so much because hes never had the love of his own father . . . Bushs mother is the father of our country a wisecrack that gets appreciative applause at Fez.
Now, on the phone: Well, I think Bush is medicated. As I say, he suffers from father-hunger, and thats weird because he looks like his father and he is his father. He cant even love himself. I dont think he needs to be loved. I think he needs to be [screwed] to have it worked out sexually.
The most dramatic moment in Make Love, and to this viewers mind the most debatable moment, comes toward the end, when Liza & Co. including Karen Finleys 10-year-old daughter Violet break into an intense rendition of Abel Meeropol and Billie Holidays Strange Fruit . . . scent of magnolias . . . the sudden smell of burning flesh . . .
That, Ms. Finley, was a song about lynching. Wrong application?
Well, in a way, it was a lynching, what happened to those towers. That music came into my head, she says, soon after 9/11. For months, the smell of 3,000 burning bodies was everywhere. The sudden smell of burning flesh those words hung in my mind 3,000 bodies, 3,000 bodies.
The burning skyscraper, Liza Minnelli says in Karen Finleys Make Love, was full of artists. And that skyscraper was you. Down in the basement under the Time Cafe, one member of the audience suddenly remembers when Norman Mailer declared that the United States was on the brink of a nervous breakdown. That was in the time of the assassinations, of Vietnam, of Make love, not war several centuries, it now seems, before the invention of a new use for box cutters.

Oscars 2015: Willow Bay Wears Rodarte's 'Star Wars' Dress on the Red Carpet
Daring on the carpet, Willow was.
Well, it was bound to happen. The second we saw L.A.-based label Rodarte send Star Wars-stamped gowns out on its fall 2014 runway last February, we knew it was just a matter of time until one of the whimsical designs showed up on a major red carpet. And at Sunday's Oscars, the brand's Yoda dress finally found a home on former news anchor Willow Bay, the current USC Annenberg School of Journalism director who attended this year's awards ceremony with her husband, Disney CEO Bob Iger.
STORY Oscars 2015: Can We Talk About Lady Gaga's Dishwashing Gloves?
Sure, the outfit choice (both its Star Wars theme and the youthful, high fashion nature of sibling-designed Rodarte in general) seems a bit daring for someone who once served as a correspondent on ABC's World News Sunday. But Bay — a former Ford model and Estee Lauder spokesperson — seems to be a proponent of fashion, having turned up at past LACMA Costume Council events. She's also a vintage jewelry aficionado and is known to rock mid-century costume pieces on the carpet. But we speculate that Bay had a good reason for the outfit choice: hubby Iger is behind Disney's upcoming J.J. Abrams-helmed Star Wars reboot hitting theaters this December.
Supportive spouse and daring dresser? The force is already with her.

The Atlanta Hawks call him Pac-Man. Yes, him. That is how much this secondary logo means to the NBA team and its chief creative officer and senior vice president of marketing Peter Sorckoff. They refer to the logo as an actual entity.
"Pac-Man" — Atlanta Hawks secondary logo
It proves fitting, however, since the Hawks spent 12 months and had over 1.7 million online conversations about their brand to determine what fans felt about their team. What they found? Fans loved the nostalgic days of the team's past success, past stars (Dominique Wilkins, for example) and tied the team's brand identity at the time to that love.
"Frankly, fans had romanticized this era," Sorckoff tells HOW. "There was a mark that very clearly represented that era. There seemed to be a real strength in that and yearning to revisit that time in franchise history. There was so much strength there, the emphasis was how to build more emotional connectedness with the fan base."
Pac-Man returned. And he's well loved.
That often represents the case with a secondary logo in sports, a mark that gives franchises the opportunity to tie to nostalgia, grab a more simplistic part of an identity or play with trend-setting looks.
"They came about as a simpler mark that would look good on the court, merchandise, website and doesn't have to tell the whole story," Tom O'Grady, founder of the NBA's creative services in 1990 and now a designer based in Chicago, tells HOW.
In sports, the primary logo has a tendency to get a bit heavy handed. With the need to convey a city, a nickname and a sport all in one mark, there's room to extend the brand identity with something that has more iconic power with a second logo. A logo that has a simple life.
Todd Radom, a New York based logo designer who has created marks and identities for everything from professional teams to Super Bowls, tells HOW he likens having a secondary logo as a piece of a Swiss Army knife. "The primary logo is the knife part," he says. "The secondary logo is that really cool screwdriver or corkscrew. It helps make a brand a brand. A single logo can not do that."
Teams will often—as the Hawks did—reach back into their visual past to tweak a mark that connects to a fan base, Radom says. Other times, though, the secondary logo is simply a clearer way to tell a story. In baseball you might see this as an interlocking letters signifying a city name, a logo that became a de facto secondary. Secondary logos don't tell as rich a story, but the simple application makes them in vogue for fans. Plus, they still have stories surrounding them—both Radom and O'Grady complimented the Knicks' subway token secondary as an example.
Knicks' subway token
O'Grady says the rise of secondary logos started in sports around the time he helped introduce them in the early 1990s. Following a licensing explosion of sports as fashion, sports logos went from the owner's daughter drawing concepts to professionals designing brands.
In the NBA, O'Grady started using secondary logos to live on a lip of a basketball short, on the floor near the 3-point line. "It supported the primary logo and supported the team brand, but wasn't so heavy-handed," he says.
Radom says he looks for secondary marks to be simpler, literally more iconic and primarily derived from the primary mark. O'Grady may not agree it has to derive from the primary, but does agree that it needs to have an iconic graphic and be able to stand on its own.
He points to the NHL for his, using the Blackhawks as an example of a team that uses a crossed tomahawk as a secondary mark, separate from the headdress primary. "This has been the perfect application of a great primary and a secondary mark that really looks nothing like the primary, but fits together as part of the whole package," he says.
Blackhawks secondary logo
As merchandising started to play a larger role in sports, brands such as Nike, Adidas and Under Armour entered the fray and the craze has caught on.
Teams with history dip back into the way back past. Teams with limited history can still grab a retro-feeling mark. But new teams, they have to find something that fits with a trend or build a sub brand. O'Grady uses the Toronto Raptors as an example. With a running raptor and words as the primary, the team opted for a claw mark as a secondary.
Raptors secondary logo
Sometimes, though, secondary marks become too popular for their own good, becoming more appealing to fans and merchandisers and forcing the primary to take a seat on the bench. Or too many secondary, tertiary or more logos in the knife can lead to marketplace confusion.
There was no confusion, in Atlanta, though. Sorckoff knew what the fans wanted.
"Yeah, honestly, there was a lot of trepidation around it," he says. "If we screwed it up, we were screwing with something people really, really loved. I can't even tell you how many variants we went through."
After some minor tweaks to modernize the 1970s-era logo—the evolved version gives more aggression to the bird—the Hawks have fully embraced the logo, even putting it at center court.
With the popularity of secondary marks, the lower cost of producing and trademarking them and the emotional ties they make with fans, know that tired-looking primary marks have been put on notice. The rise of the secondary logo in sports isn't slowing any time soon. Just ask the Hawks' Pac-Man.

Artist's Statement:
Though Hall treats her subject with apparent frankness through her realistic style and the use of photographs on which she bases her paintings, the images retain a considerable degree of ambiguity. Anger is expressed through this ambiguity, a seemingly defiant refusal to be seen openly. This series of paintings contributes to a discussion of the portrayal of mental illness in our society. It is a discussion we would often prefer to keep at arms' length.
Ceinwen Hall is an Australian emerging figurative artist. Ceinwen studied painting at the National Art School in Sydney and is currently undertaking a Master of Art Therapy. She works primarily in oil paint and her work is highly conceptual; often considered for months before she commences painting. Major themes in her work include issues such as feminism, environmental concerns and mental illness.
Ceinwen was born in Dubbo, NSW. She moved to Sydney from the Southern Highlands in 2010 to complete a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the National Art School. She then spent time in the remote community of Borroloola in the Gulf of Carpentaria, NT where she worked closely with the elders at Waralungku Arts Centre. Ceinwen has been adopted into Gudanji community and is proud of supporting Aboriginal art and culture as well as sharing what knowledge was imparted to her to keep Gudanji culture strong.

Can you really produce a meaningful set of quests while keeping each snippet of text down to 140 characters? The team developing WildStar certainly thinks so. In a previous installment of the regular WildStar Wednesday feature, fans were introduced to the concept, but this week's developer diary is all about explaining how you keep all of the flavor of a quest while trimming it down to the bare minimum necessary. It's not about stripping out flavor — it's about exactly the opposite.
Senior narrative designer Cory Herndon explains by example that a lot of quest text winds up repeating unnecessary facts or stating something that should be immediately clear. Herndon starts with a longer example of quest text and steadily pares it down to the most important bits of information, keeping all of the flavor while posting each bit of communication in quick and comprehensible bursts. Combined with the discussion of adding further bits of quest dialogue after important objectives are completed, the diary shows just how you can get a lot of flavor into the quests without quite as many fancy words.

Now...for the most accurate post season predictions
It was Tuesday April 3rd. It was the middle of the afternoon, and I was bored out of my mind sitting in my ECON 203 class. So what did I do? Of course I wrote down my predictions for the upcoming MLB season. I made a pick for the world series...and what do you know, those two teams are still alive today. So, of course, I have to stick to that prediction today.
Indians vs Yankes: Indians in 4
-Anything could happen in the post season. Not everything makes sense. But, with that said, I believe that everything is going the Indians way in this series. It could easily be 2-0 going into Sunday's game with a pitcher with a bad shoulder trying to save their season. Good pitching beats good hitting. Period. The Indians have good pitching.
-X factor: Look at the Yankees bullpen. Outside of Joba and Mariano...who do they have? exactly...
Angels vs Red Sox: Angels in 5
-A toss up, but the deciding factor is the Angels ability to scratch out runs. Mike Sciocia is a proponent of stealing bases, the hit and run, bunting, and going 1st to 3rd on singles. That is going to wear on the Red Sox, a team who lives and dies by the big inning.
-X factor: Will Dice-K show he's worth the money? He'll either be in the position of putting the dagger through the Angels, or needing to save the Red Sox from the brink of elimination. I'm not a believer.
Diamondbacks vs Cubs: D-Backs in 3
-Does anyone realize who has the best record in the NL? ITS THE D-BACKS! Shocking, I know. But its not a coincidence. The Cubs are talented, but flawed. They won the division by default. The D-Backs can pitch and come up with clutch hitting. That my friends is the perfect formula for post season success.
-X factor: The D-Backs are incredibly young and unproven. Their manager is too. Does the post season get to them?
Phillies vs Rockies: Phillies in 4
-I love the Rockies. I wish they would win this series. But, I just get the feeling that the ride has to end sometime-soon. Their hitting admittedly is not as good outside of Coors. Plus, the Phillies pitching is hitting its stride at the right time.
-X factor: The Rockies bullpen is filled with a bunch of castoffs from other teams. If needed in a clutch situation, will they perform?
Indians vs Angels: Indians in 6
-The Tribe is just the all around better team. There is really nothing that the Angels do that they are better at. The key is that CC/Fausto > Lackey/Escobar. Plus, the Indians back end of the pen is nails. It will be a good series, but this is just the Indians year.
-X factor: Is Vlad healthy? Big players make big plays in the post season. If he's not himself, thats a huge blow to the team.
Diamondbacks vs Phillies: Diamondbacks in 7
-This has all the makings of a series where the Phillies come in overconfident, go down 2-0, storm back to take a 3-2 lead, only to lose it. The Phillies will overlook the DBacks. But the DBacks will do what they've done all year, pitch well and and get clutch hitting. The fairy tail season continues (but will anyone in Phoenix notice?).
-X factor: Charlie Manuel makes questionable moves. He will do something that will change the course of the series...for the worse.
World Series
Indians vs Diamondbacks: Indians in 5
-Most of the country will turn off their TV sets, but Cleveland will rejoice, the curse will be broken. The Diamondbacks will just be out of gas. Typical of young teams who are "just happy to be there." The Indians are a team on a mission. They will do what it takes to close it out.
-X factor: The Indians killer instinct must be shown here. The DBacks will give them a series if JoeBo blows a clinching game, or Jhonny makes a crucial error.
So there you have it, my humble opinion. Now watch none of it happen.

The course will explore instructional approaches that allow all students to be educated in an inclusive setting.
The focus of this course is on the theoretical constructs and practical considerations in programming for students with disabilities from the preschool through the secondary and post‐secondary level.
This introductory course provides an overview of the characteristics of learners with significant needs for support. Learners will be introduced to the various classification systems and the implications of low‐ incidence disabilities, significant cognitive disability, various vision and/or hearing impairments, motor disabilities, and health impairments. The diversity of curriculum needs for students at the functional level will be addressed, including cognitive, physical, social, and emotional needs across the developmental spectrum. The course prepares learners for more advanced study in specific areas, such as assessment, instructional methodology, behavior management and transition.
This course will provide an overview of instructional practices contributing to community‐referenced planning, community‐based and life skills instruction. Students design community‐based instructional programs, ecologically valid and age‐appropriate to facilitate mastery of skills essential for community and social inclusions including family and student involvement, transportation, and administrative and policy support.

Job truck in Lincoln Heights
Okay, it's not a truck, it's a 40 foot mobile van fully equipped with technology and resources where job seekers could learn how to navigate and apply for jobs at USC and partner organizations.
The USC Health Sciences Campus Office of Community Partnerships (HSC CP) launched a USC jobs awareness on a mobile computer technology van provided by Southeast Community Development Corporation on July 9th at the Abraham Lincoln High School.
The employment program's goal is to build awareness of available jobs at USC both on the Health Sciences Campus and the University Park Campus.
Jason Maninno and Alby Bocanegra from USC Talent Management provided group and one-on-one assistance on navigating the job portal at USC, setting up an account to apply for jobs and tips on developing successful applications.
More than one hundred individuals participated in this event which also provided health information on cancer prevention through a talk by Dr. Joseph Landolph from USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center to those who were waiting to get onto the mobile technology van.
The USC HSC Office of Community Partnerships within USC Civic Engagement and Economic Development partnered with the Lincoln Heights Neighborhood Council, City View Terrace Homeowners Association, The Lincoln Heights Chamber of Commerce and Educare Foundation to plan and promote this event.
The event attracted local residents from the area who were seeking jobs and those interested in the opportunities offered at USC. Students from Lincoln High School and Sacred Heart High School also attended the event and felt that they got ideas of the types of jobs exist in health care and other areas that are in demand.
This is the first of a series of similar events on jobs awareness that the USC HSC Community Partnerships Office will implement this year.

Sassy Sweets: Gingerbread and Cranberry Cheesecake Cake Pops
Gingerbread is one of John's favorite flavors of the season. It's hard to say no to him so I had been rolling around gingerbread in my head a week or two before we even got the special Hodgson Mill delivery! I wanted to make something that will WOW your guests but will also be something you can actually make. No crossing this one off the list because it has too many ingredients or is too fussy. It's just plain delicious.
Now I am 100% sure you will want this prize pack yourself. It's worth $25 and includes an assortment of whole wheat OR gluten free products - your choice and perfect for your holiday baking! Each of the following will be 1 entry into the giveaway!
1. Like The Growing Foodie on Facebook and comment below with your Facebook username.
2. Tweet "Win a #GrainHoliday from @HodgsonMillInc and paste the tweet link below.
3. Sign up for The Growing Foodie emails and comment with your email address below (this will only count if the account is activated)
The Giveaway begins NOW and ends at noon EST on Sunday, December 15, 2013.
If you don't win, or even if you do, Hodsgon Mill is also sharing a $1 off coupon for any 5 pound bag of flour or cornmeal. PLUS, you can enter to win their very own sweepstakes - twice the chances to win!
Serves: 12 (24 pops)
1 1/2 cups Hodgson Mill White Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 cup Hodgson Mill Organic Naturally White Unbleached Flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup salted butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 orange, divided
1/2 cup molasses
3/4 cup milk
2 cups cranberries, diced
4 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup white sugar
3 cups white chocolate chips, melted
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x9 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes on high). Add the eggs and beat until incorporated. Zest the orange. Add 1/2 tablespoon of zest and 1/4 cup orange juice to the mixture. Add the molasses and beat again to combine. Add the milk and then slowly incorporate the dry ingredients until the mixture is combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared 9x9 pan. Bake 25-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
In a food processor, combine additional 1/2 tablespoon orange zest, cranberries, cream cheese, and sugar. Add gingerbread cake and pulse until the mixture forms a ball. By hand, form the mixture into 24 balls and place onto cookie sheets. Press a candy stick into each ball, if desired. Freeze for 2 hours, or until firm.
When firm, dip the balls into melted chocolate. Place them back on a cookie sheet until the outer chocolate coat has hardened. Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to use (up to 5 days) or serve immediately. You can also freeze the balls in an airtight container for up to 1 month before rolling in chocolate.
Until the next time my oven is on...

Heroes of Midhgardhur
The Hospice of Faruq
The Hospice of Faruq the Faithful
An inn in the southern district of Yazirat in the Caliphate of Nonorra. Faruq the Faithful has a bit of a bad reputation – newcomers to Yazirat are likely to be told he is a "cheat and a liar". It is true that he charges extravagant fees for lodging, but he does provide medical care and other services in addition, which is how he justifies charging so much for his rooms if anyone asks.

Definitely not a stranger to bright, bold color and dizzying patterns, Roberts has a unique perspective that allows her art to be classic and playful at the same time.
This hasn't been the first time Trend Hunter has featured Lynsie Roberts and by the looks of the new additions to her budding portfolio, it won't be the last.

Morfik Links
Archive for February, 2010
When driving a software product, it is tempting to create a road map studded with desired features, and bullet points that respond to every request from users and prospective customers. But experience has shown that a customer should ultimately make their decision based on whether the current state of the product is a good fit for them or not. We do realise the importance of a roadmap for project planning and certain kinds of decision making. However, we are also wary of the risk that goes with selling tomorrow over today, through promises which could lead to potential disappointment and possible disillusionment.
So starting in 2010, as a new way of providing information on development progress, we have chosen to use technology previews and product announcements, rather than continuing with the road map and timeline methods.
Have you ever bought a big fancy refrigerator with the latest and greatest wiz bang features and when the delivery truck arrived, realized it would not get through the door? I did, and soon learned the valuable lesson of planning the deployment of my applications even before I start coding.
Developers of my vintage remember the early days when we deployed programs by the use of a single XCOPY command. As computing environments became more complex, deployment of applications became a daunting task and things got so bad that a whole new industry specialising in installation tools emerged. At its peak there were tools with several thousand dollar price tags on offer.
Ctrl+click on the class in your code editor and Morfik will open the framework module where the class is declared and point you to its implementation. To go back to your code, either press Alt+Left or use the Back arrow in the Home Ribbon.
Did you know that you can view dependencies between different project documents by simply right-mouse clicking on a document when in project view and opening the properties dialog.
The "dependency" tab in this dialog displays all project documents that are used by this document. But more importantly, it also lists all project items that use this document.
Adobe Flash has featured prominently in recent blogs and press, and it is not all good news for this ubiquitous technology. With the native support for video content in HTML5, Google's initiative to offer video content through the YouTube HTML5 Video Player and Apple's open criticism of Flash, to the extent of refusing to support it (so far) on iPhone and iPad, dark clouds are gathering over Adobe.
It is still too early to write-off Flash and there are many arguments for and against its future. In a recent blog John Gruber makes the interesting observation that "Flash is the only web standard based on a proprietary technology" and points out the advantages of adopting an open standard for video content on the Web. Steve Jobs did not mince words either and had this to say about Flash and Adobe.
We are pleased to announce the release of our Sharing and Bookmarking Package which is designed to make using social Sharing and Bookmarking in Morfik applications easy.
The Morfik Sharing and Bookmarking Package allows visitors to your website to select the social service of their choice in order to save, share or bookmark your content online. Instead of crowding the screen with dozens of buttons, coding API for each of them and maintaining them individually, you now can simply use all-in-one widgets with working connections to most of the social networks, blogs and messengers. The package consists of three popular social bookmarking and sharing widgets: Add This, Add to Any and Tell a Friend.
Did you know you can control the Form and Report thumbnail generation within the IDE using the new "Display Thumbnail" feature in Morfik Options | General. This is particularly useful in saving memory space for large projects.
Did you know image resources could be added to your project (to resources folder) by dragging the image from any source onto a form or the project tab!
Developers who seek their fortune in the web business applications market must face and survive seven ordeals and success will only favour those who come prepared.
1. The First Ordeal: User experience
2. The Second Ordeal: Compatibility
3. The Third Ordeal: Time to market
4. The Fourth Ordeal: Finding the right tool
5. The Fifth Ordeal: Integration
6. The Sixth Ordeal: JavaScript
7. The Seventh Ordeal: Deployment
After surviving many ordeals and completing the web application, the developer must then face the ordeal of deployment. If you thought it was as easy as uploading the elements of the application onto a web server and configuring the IP address, think again.
In my last blog we went through commissioning and connecting to a Linux virtual machine on the Amazon cloud. Today we'll look at running a Morfik XApp as an Apache module on that system.
After commissioning the server we used Putty for Windows to connect to the server and we got to the point where we made a secure connection to the server and logged in as the root user.
Since we are going to deploy the XApps as an Apache module we need to make sure an Apache 2 web server is installed and running on the system.
To install the Apache web server we use the "yum" command. Yum is an automatic updater and package installer/uninstaller for systems using rpm packages.

Mobile & Web Games Development
Software & Database Development
Case Study: Tentacle Solutions: Micro Games
What the client wanted:
Tentacle Solutions, the UK based games design and development market leader, has built up a reputation for high quality viral games in the past few years as a result of the FAB free viral games that are released on a regular basis. As the premier company in the UK for such games, it was important to take the technology and gaming that we have provided as and when possible. As such, we decided to try a new approach to gaming on various website by creating a series of Micro Games that differed greatly from the work we had done previously. Our UK based games design and development team is always eager for new challenges and so took this particular challenge on with relish.
There was actually no client in this particular case because of the nature of the project. As the team is always seeking new ways to provide clients with what they want we undertook this particular task with the benefits for future clients firmly at the forefront of the project. Our aim was to revolutionize the integration process by actually embedding the Micro Games into the site itself rather than being placed on it, as our usual viral games are. In fact, this is the way that all viral games are placed on the site and so we were actively seeking some way to make the transition to the game completely seamless so as to limit the problems that visitors may face when trying to play. With these goals in mind, the UK based games design and development team actively worked towards improving our services.
What Tentacle Solutions did:
This particular project was conducted over a relatively short period of time but ensured that the quality of the services that our UK based games design and development team provide on a regular basis could be improved. In effect, we aimed to raise the bar and succeeded. We initially brainstormed to see what solutions all experienced members of our team believed they could offer in order to integrate games into the fabric of a website rather than placing a viral alongside it. When brainstorming was complete, we began to experiment with code, techniques and methods that we believed would allow us to succeed.
There has always been the passion within the staff of Tentacle Solutions to always improve and refine the company website and this is just another example of this passion coming to life. The team remained in constant communication, discussing progress and ensuring that the UK based games design and development side of the company effectively worked seamlessly with the website build element of the team. Overall, we were very pleased with the process.
What Tentacle Solutions delivered:
The Tentacle Solutions UK based design and development team took just five days to pull this particular project together and sought to create several games that would help us to refine our services and fulfil the passion that we have for our work. After the five days were up, we had achieved the following:
1. Fifteen fully functional games that were termed "Micro Games". None of the games featured any sound and the graphics are not complex. This was effectively to make sure that the file size for each game was as small as possible in order to enhance the speed of loading and to make sure that they could be integrated into the website as seamlessly as possible.
2. Revolutionary integration that allows each game to be woven into the fabric of the website so as to prevent stalling. The integration of the games was designed to be subtle and, as such, there is a five second delay before the game can be played once it has loaded to accommodate this.
These Micro Games will undoubtedly take our services to the next level and increase the range of products that our UK based games design and development team can provide. As such, it proved to be a very fruitful project for everyone involved. Furthermore, we are proud to say that all goals were met and we will be offering these services to clients in the future as a result.

So I had an idea--- I know people buy snails from me for live foods, but I was thinking--- if shipping & costs were cheap enough, would anyone be interested in a *subscription snail service* as live food for whatever fish they have that would eat it? I'm thinking the target audience here would be keepers of small puffers - i.e. figure eight puffers, dwarf puffers, south american puffers. How many of you locals keep fish like these? How many would be interested in something like that? How many snails (ramshorn) would you go through per week and what would you be willing to pay (shipping included) for that?

Soccer Awards
Our last hurrah with the team this evening at the awards ceremony. Very nice event. B. received one of the three coach's trophies as Most Improved. He also was one of six on the team to make "All-Region." He scored 12 goals this past season. I committed tonight that I will attend some Hornets games next season. 17 kids will be returning on varsity. It will be fun even though #1 will be away at Clemson.
