Nurturing Cal's biggest Bear
CAL FOOTBALL Bears' Moala is a special talent who is much more than simply a wide body
BERKELEY -- Welcome to the wide, wide world of Viliami Moala, Cal's prized freshman recruit, a player of singular physical dimensions the likes of which the Bears have not seen.
His is an adventure in finding things that fit and suitable places to sit. When you come into this world weighing 11 pounds, as Moala did March 30, 1993, your course is set; anatomy is destiny, and good luck wedging into a coach seat on a commercial flight.
"I was really short and round," Moala ("V" for short) said before practice at Witter Rugby Field. "I was really heavy but really short. People used to pick on me. They would make fun of me. I used to get upset but my mom said, 'Let them talk and be yourself.' I pretty much laughed at them."
One of his coaches at Grant High School in Sacramento handed Moala the tag of "Tiny," but his nickname really should be "Giggles" for the frequency and ease with which he laughs, a disarming quality for someone so big - at the moment, 360 pounds packed onto a 6-foot-2 frame.
In truth, Moala is a gigantic teddy bear of a young man, someone the Cal coaches believe will develop into a dominating player in the middle of the defensive line. Even at his prodigious weight, he moves surprisingly well off the snap of the ball and has good pursuit.
Watching him move with the rumbling grace of a water buffalo, it's apparent he carries his heft well. This is not some fat, sloppy kid trying to play football.
"I've got a little step in me," he said. "Our identity here is 'no loafing.' On a play, I try to get there before the safeties."
Moala, variously rated as a four- or five-star recruit by scouting services, represents a challenge for the equipment men, an exciting prospect for the strength and nutrition folks and a diamond-in-the-rough project for the defensive coaches on Jeff Tedford's staff.
Before Moala could set foot on the practice field, he had to be properly outfitted, a job that fell to recently hired equipment manager Todd Hewitt. From his 34 years in the same capacity with the Los Angeles and St. Louis Rams of the NFL, Hewitt was used to dealing with outsized players.
Even so, Moala tested him, as when the biggest shower sandals Hewitt had would not fit his plank-like feet, requiring a special order from Nike.
Virtually everything Moala wears in the name of football represents the largest available for that particular item, including his extra-extra large helmet (hat size 8 1/2), XXXXL gloves, size-16 extra-extra wide cleats and size-48 football pants, fairly bursting at the seams as they are from thighs more accurately described as tree trunks shorn of bark.
"His thighs are probably like our defensive backs' waists," Hewitt said.
And then there are Moala's mighty, sock-destroying calves.
"He'll have some problems with game socks," Hewitt said. "We'll have to find him a stretched-out pair. With his body type, he's in the top five with his girth, top to bottom. He's a real nice young man. It's going to be hard to move him, I know that."
In the weight room and at the training table, Moala is under the care of strength and conditioning coordinator Mike Blasquez and nutrition coordinator Ted Edwards. The former wants him to be as flexible as he is strong. The latter wants him to adopt a healthy eating plan, with an emphasis on lean meat and lots of vegetables.
"He needs to know what to eat, how to eat and when to eat," Edwards said. "He's very receptive. He has no problem taking direction. 'V' didn't eat many vegetables when he got here. Now he's enjoying it. He's got a great frame. We've got a lot to work with. He's a big body; he needs a lot of fuel."
Once school starts this month, Moala will have to resist the siren call, and smell, of Kingpin Donuts on Durant Avenue. Many a Cal freshman has fallen prey to the campus institution and ended up 20 pounds heavier in the course of a semester.
"Good to know," said Edwards, new to the Cal football program.
Between them, Blasquez and Edwards will determine what Moala's ideal playing weight is. He came to Berkeley in June weighing 374 pounds. Once Edwards got him eating right at the training table, Moala dropped 14 pounds. As he matures and puts in time in the weight room, Moala could drop more weight while gaining strength or he could remain in the 350-360 range, immovable as a floor safe at nose tackle, where he's currently second or third on the depth chart, according to Tedford.
"We wanted to really assess him and what he needs to do to be successful on the field and find his ideal body weight," Blasquez said. "What we found with him is to spend time in those areas that support his natural strength and weight. We backed him off the traditional heavy work. Our focus is to create a foundation where he has great flexibility and core strength."
Moala is strong enough as it is in the traditional upper-body sense as he bench pressed 495 pounds in high school.
"I love being here. Love it," Moala said, staring in wonder at the giant construction crane helping to transform Memorial Stadium into a new facility for the 2012 season. "The family bonding here, especially the defensive-line group, is great. When I took my visit here, they showed so much love, I felt they would further my career here."
When asked what his interests are away from the game, Moala said hanging out with his family: mother Lupe, father Nauela and four brothers and a sister. Both his parents were born in Tonga and emigrated to the United States.
"My ultimate goal is the NFL so I can bring my family a better life," Moala said.
With his size and quickness off the ball, Moala has been compared to nose tackle Haloti Ngata of the Baltimore Ravens - a fine exemplar in the trenches.
"I love his game," Moala said. "Same playing type and strength. But I don't want to be compared to him no more. I want to be un-comparable."
In turn, those in charge of his future at Cal hope he develops into an incomparable player.

I like the book because it is filled with fantasy and adventure. My favorite part is when Eric rode a gigantic dragon in the City of Dreams. If I had the chance to ride a dragon, it would be awesome. Also, there are numerous illustrations that show the emotions of the characters.
One of the characters I found interesting was Eric because he trusts his friends. He reminds me a little of myself because I trust that my friends are loyal and will never leave me.
I recommend this book because it is filled with adventure. There are many books that have adventure, but in my opinion this story is unique. I think the readers would most enjoy the part when Eric is changed while he is in the dragon. It felt like a race.

Each month the Stated Clerk of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and the Moderator or Vice Moderator of the 220th General Assembly write a column of general interest for the church-at-large.
Upon seeing a Facebook photo of me holding my newborn grandson, one of my friends wrote that I looked "smitten." To which I replied, "I am."
Smitten is a word you do not hear used much anymore. The fact that its root is the verb "smite" makes it all the more interesting.

Rep. Allyson Schwartz of Pennsylvania stepped down Wednesday as national finance chairwoman of the Demcoratic Congressional Campaign Committee for the 2014 midterm cycle, clearing a potential obstacle to her anticipated run for governor.
Party leaders named Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut to take over the time-consuming fundraising job, according to Democratic sources in Washington Wednesday. Himes, a third-term lawmaker, represents the Greenwich area 4th District, one of the wealthiest in the country, and is a member of the House Financial Services Committee, considered a great fundraising base because of its importance to Wall Street.
It would have been impossible for Schwartz, or anybody, to juggle the fundraising post with a full-scale campaign for higher office.
[updated] DCCC Chairman Rep. Steve Israel of New York announced the change officially Thursday. In a statement praising Himes, he added, "I also thank Rep. Allyson Schwartz on behalf of our entire caucus for her work giving us a strong start."
The committee raised $6.1 million in January, Schwartz's first full month on the job, compared to $4.4 million scooped up by the rival National Republican Congressional Committee. Both party campaign committees still are paying off debts from the 2012 election.

NEW YORK - Liberty Ross says she's still lying low after her very public split from her husband, director Rupert Sanders.
Sitting front row Saturday at Alexander Wang's New York Fashion Week show, the model-actress said the key to moving forward is 'keeping her head down' and 'listening to her heart.'
Ross filed for divorce in January five months after news broke that Sanders had an affair with Kristen Stewart.
Sanders directed both Stewart and Ross in 'Snow White and the Huntsman.'
Ross, who walked in Wang's last runway show in September, said her top priority remains her children.
These days she's taking her fashion cues from daughter Skyla, who's already been bitten by the fashion bug.
'(She's) the coolest chick I know,' said Ross.

text: Monday, May 09, 2011 Observation a 'Good Strategy' for Some Kids With Head Injury, Study Says Because researchers still aren't sure whether too many computed tomography (CT) scans might trigger cancer years later, observation is probably a good strategy for kids who have experienced a head injury and have some risk of a serious brain injury, but do not show serious symptoms, says an article by Reuters Health based on a study to be released in the June issue of Pediatrics. Researchers studied data on more than 40,000 children with a head injury who were taken to one of 25 different emergency rooms. The original data was collected by the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network. Physicians treating the children made a note in their records about whether each child was kept in the hospital and observed by physicians and nurses before they decided whether or not to perform a CT scan. According to the article, about 5,400 children—or 1 in 7—were observed. Those children were slightly less likely to get a CT scan—31% of them had the head x-ray, versus 35% of children when physicians made that decision right away. In both groups, fewer than 1 of every 100 children had a serious brain injury. Twenty-six children who were observed and sent home without a CT scan came back later for an x-ray; 1 of those 26 children was diagnosed with a brain injury. The research team concluded from that finding that observing some kids before making the decision about a CT scan might be a safe and effective way to cut back on the number of scans, says Reuters.

I think the balance is a lot simpler than people make it out to be. I've been saying for at least the last five hundred years (in SEO time – love that joke btw), know the technical, and apply it to genuine conversation and information delivery. Be the authority in your niche, and promote through welcomed channels, and you'll thrive not just today, but in the future when the algo changes.
We all knew what Twitter was for and how to use it to everyone's benefits. Those that did are now seeing a benefit. Much easier than trying to get a quick fix, which is to always be chasing a ghost.
Dec 15 2010
Thought provoking post, Tony.
I don't wear rose-colored glasses, but I guess my outlook is a little more optimistic. Yeah, there's plenty of spammers tweeting out there, and more behind every tree. But personally, I don't worry about them. I keep my followers and followed trimmed down to only people I've had interaction with, and the rest doesn't clutter up my deck.
Like you say though, if more people would do that (okay, MOST) then it might take the profit potential out of it, and the spammers might go find an easier game to play.
Dec 15 2010
Nah, I'm glad they don't. I'm happy there are spammers – it makes my job easier, thins out the competition 😉 Turns my professional reputation to crap, and makes it nearly impossible to find solid freelance gigs (everyone wants a black hat masquerading as a white hat), but I have this unicorn-and-rainbows idea that it'll all work out in the end; both for me, and for the web.
Dec 15 2010
I have a solution: do what you think needs to be done and succeed with (or in spite of) that strategy.
This doesn't mean you are being oblivious about what works and what doesn't. From your description of how you measure, monitor and utilize influence it seems you are doing a good job. As long as you keep conversing with real people and keep contributing useful and interesting information to your follower's stream.
Contrary to you, I don't see such a big problem with spam accounts. "Block & Report Spam" button is just a click away. My big problem are people that only tweet their own stuff, they will not even retweet information that they find interesting, not to mention engaging in conversations that do not concern their company. These "community managers" are everything but community oriented, they are brand pushers and have no place in my stream.
To summarize, just like with everything else, the Golden Rule will prevail here as well: don't do onto others what you don't want to be done to yourself. The attentive and intelligent parts of your audience will know how to reward your sincerity and that will turn out to be a winning long term strategy, even in Search Engines.
Thank you for a great read. (And kudos for how the site renders on my phone, its perfect)
Dec 15 2010
I think you've taken an honest approach to this idea. I think many of us in the seo/social cross over arena have thought the same thing. I do enjoy the trend in hearing more and more people talk about reporting the spam they find. Unfortunatley there will always be those that try to game the system. But not really unfortunately right? Cause with every 'game' comes a response making the whole thing better!
As for the gaming of follower numbers, I'd have a really hard time believing that they didn't take into account the quality of each of those followers. It wouldn't be hard for them to do. Just as it would in turn be quite easy for them to "penalize" (re: discount) those accounts that were followed by an abundance of spammers. Maybe they're not doing it yet, but I'd bet it's not that far off. So yes, while quantity is separate from quality, we're moving towards there being a merge of the two. IMO of course. 🙂
Dec 15 2010
I am going to make a confession here, and not sure if others have started to do this: I have stopped receiving email notifications when I receive a new follower. Trying to decipher what is legit vs. spam has become too time consuming. Every once in a while I will go to my Twitter profile and look at my followers, sometimes I delete, sometimes no, sometimes I'll follow back. And it's not because I have a chip on my shoulder, I still follow others that may return the favor, or engage with people outside of our community. I just couldn't keep up.
My point? We are beyond being part of a popularity contest. Your post reminds me of that saying, "You can count your true friends on one hand." Our Twitter relationships may be more than on one hand, but I can assure you that the benefits of those relationships outweigh any kind of rank.
Dec 15 2010
As I see it, the larger problem with Twitter spam is that the overall percentage of "US" on twitter is shrinking compared to the number of "normal" people who have jumped on board thanks to Oprah, Ahston and their ilke. Consider this; how is it possible that phishing scams still work via e-mail when so many of US know what they are? Because we are the minority. Too many people somehow still think the internet is a friendly place where everyone tells the truth. Oh my! An African prince wants to share his wealth with ME?!
Spam on Twitter will get worse before (if) it gets better. Sure, WE can block and report (just like we do with e-mail), but until the rest of the world wakes up and smells the spam cooking in the kitchen it will continue.
Hopefully, the engines will figure out a way to accurately measure what Twitter accounts are worth in the big picture, before it gets too out of control for the rest of us.
Dec 15 2010
Interesting post, Tony!
I'm not so sure that this isn't one of those classic misdirection plays at least in terms of how Google and Bing classify social graph data.
What I mean is that either:
a) they already do factor in signals of quality in some way
b) they're working on making that part of the process
As for me, I try to have a balance between the Edward Lewis approach and the wannabe Jim Morrison approach ; )

While Japan was experiencing rapid post-war economic growth, many Japanese women were confined to housework, an anomaly among other advanced countries. The numbers tell the whole story: Despite its high proportion of female population entering university, Japan is ranked 82nd in the ratio of working women and 116th in the percentage of women occupying managerial positions, according to a World Economic Forum report. And it is placed at the very bottom in the proportion of female directors among 20 advanced countries according to a survey by NPO Catalyst.
Such is the background in which I have blazed my trail as a working mother, supported by my family and colleagues. It always makes me proud to know how far I have come.
An unusual message from my mother
In 1974, about 30 years after the war, I was born into a typical Japanese family where my father was a hard-working office employee, and my mother was a devoted housewife. I have a younger sister. What was not typical about my family was that my mother kept telling me, even when I was a 3-year-old child, "I don't expect you to be an outstanding worker, but I do expect you to continue working all your life."
Why did she—the epitome of a good mother who lovingly looked after the family in everything from planning the daily menu to her children's education—drive home such a message to me? I believe it was because she had been born into a family of four daughters, which must have made her think hard about how a woman should live in the future.
Greatly influenced by my mother, I became more interested in finding a job that would enable me to grow professionally, and to which I could passionately devote myself.
The first female new hire to become a strategy consultant
When I was a university student, I developed a great interest in a job connected with the media or with United Nations agencies. With that in mind, I did part-time jobs at a publishing company and a radio station and visited some UN agencies during my summer holiday.
I got an opportunity to work at a consulting company as a trainee. I was impressed with the high professionalism of the people working there and how female staff were treated equally. The experience got me interested in building a career at a consulting company, where I thought people were able to grow professionally, regardless of age or gender, and I decided to take the plunge.
I was the first female new hire who joined the Strategy Consulting Group at Accenture in Japan. Back then, my male peers worked day and night, using sleeping bags and eating cups of noodles in the office. Placed in such severe circumstances, I never felt reluctant to work. On the contrary, I was extremely excited about working with talented supervisors and colleagues with a distinctive way of thinking to tackle challenging jobs, such as helping our clients achieve business transformation.
When I became pregnant in the second year of working, however, I suddenly felt anxious. Although Accenture in Japan, as with other global companies, had in place a system to support working mothers, I couldn't find any female employees within the company who were juggling work and childcare. I was at a loss, asking myself whether it was possible for me to continue working after having a child and whether my supervisors and colleagues would accept me as a working mother.
Advice from working mothers around the world helped overcome my fears
When I confided my worries to my supervisor, he was so supportive, saying, "I am married but have no children, so I don't really understand what it's like to take care of children while working. But we are consultants resolving clients' problems. I'm sure we can find a way out. I will introduce to you working mothers at our overseas offices and those at other companies I know, so you will be able to contact them to learn how they are striking a good work/life balance. If our company's work arrangements aren't flexible enough for mothers to keep their jobs, I will propose new ones to the board of directors."
While my pregnancy was progressing, I contacted many working mothers at home and abroad for advice. I received practical advice and detailed information, such as returning to work as early as possible with shorter working hours, for example working six hours a day, to avoid a long absence from work; restarting work in their areas of expertise and gradually expanding their fields; arranging a schedule of regular meetings early; asking their supervisors to evaluate them according to their accomplishments and not their working hours.
Without a professional working mother as a role model around me, all the information I learned became a great asset.
Based on the advice and stories I collected from the women, my supervisor made a proposal to the board for accepting me as a working mother back into the workforce.
Finding my way as a working mother
Still, I had to overcome many unexpected adversities before returning to work. When I began to look for a daycare center for my son, I realized it was extremely difficult to find a satisfactory daycare facility. I was unable to place him in a public facility that attracted an overwhelming number of applicants because of its affordability. I didn't want to leave him in the hands of an unauthorized nursery because of so much media coverage about accidents happening there at that time. I was in a daycare-hunting plight.
After resolving that issue and returning to work, I had a lot on my plate in the morning: While I was getting ready for work, I checked my work-related e-mails and made my son's breakfast. Then, I signed the daycare facility's journal, dropped my son off at the facility and, finally, left for work.
Before taking childcare leave, I spent ample time on discussion, consideration and research, and was able to devise a plan. But after returning to work, I felt that time was ticking away surprisingly quickly. Even in the middle of a meeting with my colleagues or clients, I had to leave at 6 p.m. sharp to pick up my son.
When everything was working out smoothly, I managed to control my work schedule. But sometimes difficult situations arose―for example, colleagues were in trouble, I couldn't find common ground with colleagues, or clients' transformation ran into roadblocks...just to name a few.
Even in such dire situations, I had to leave at the scheduled time, consumed with guilt, because my son was waiting for me at the daycare center. I had no other choice. On my way to the daycare facility from the nearest train station, I often discussed with my colleagues or gave them instructions on my mobile phone with earphones in my ears.
My son and me
Three tips for creating value with limited time and for growing professionally
I have always wanted to continue to create value for my clients, although my working time was constrained. To make it possible, I have kept three things in mind:
During the first couple of years after joining Accenture, I had several opportunities to work as a member of teams with senior colleagues with years of experience working to help a number of Japan's leading companies deploy marketing strategies. When my son was still a small child, I focused on leveraging the skills and experience thus acquired to expand my horizon into a variety of industries, including automobiles, high technology, consumer goods and pharmaceuticals.
When my son reached school age and was better able to take care of himself, I began to work with leading data scientists on marketing strategies that leveraged big data and analytics.
When he became a junior high school student, I focused on acquiring new knowledge and know-how by keeping in constant touch with the experts in Accenture's global network through teleconferences and other means, enabling me to become a more "dynamic" consultant with skills in digital and the Internet of Things.
I may be making a sweeping statement, but women who are working at a consulting firm tend to work by themselves. However, being a working mother from the early stage of my career has made me keenly aware that working alone is not the best way to produce sufficient value for clients.
"I have tried to work with superiors who, understanding that my strength is not the availability of time, chose an area of work for me that could bring out the best of my capabilities."
I am satisfied that I have never lost sight of the need to work as a team. I have always developed and valued the people who worked for me. At the same time, I have tried to work with superiors who, understanding that my strength is not the availability of time, chose an area of work for me that could bring out the best of my capabilities. Many of them progressed in their careers to become managing directors and presidents. Sometimes you cannot choose your supervisor, but I was lucky enough to have worked with people who were flexible enough to embrace diversity, and always encouraged their people to rise to new challenges. They really helped me grow professionally, and I would not be where I am without them.
With that in mind, I have tried to expose my son to my work as often as possible. When I worked weekends as a job interviewer, I took him to the office, where he enjoyed drawing on the whiteboard in the waiting room. I also took him to a Strategy Consulting Group's annual get-together every year, leaving him seated in the back of the room during serious discussions and social sessions. When I spoke at business conferences or lectured at universities on his school holidays, I had him listen to me. Through this experience, I think he has come to realize how hard I have been working as a working mother.
"I was told that a child whose mother was working hard was unhappy … but … my supervisors, colleagues and clients always encouraged me."
Some people were critical of working mothers. From time to time, I was told that a child whose mother was working hard was unhappy. Others asked me, "Don't you think working mothers cause trouble to those around them at work?" or "Why don't you work in a women-friendlier work environment?"
If I had been alone, I would have been too discouraged to continue working. But it was fortunate that my supervisors, colleagues and clients always encouraged and supported me. The biggest help was that my family, especially my little son, understood my tough situations.
My challenge to make Japanese society more inclusive
Two years ago, I participated in the Fellows Program of the International Women's Forum. As I communicated with female leaders from all walks of life around the world, I keenly realized that Japan fell far behind other countries in empowering women.
This is my turn to support others.
Giving back
Twenty years have passed since I entered the workforce. I am over 40 and have reached the halfway point in life. During the postwar period, Japan prospered in a male-dominated society. Now it is high time that our country and companies make full use of women's hidden potential. During the next decades, I want to make every effort to help Japanese society and companies evolve into the more inclusive next stage.

Perfume is a problem. It smells, and a lot of it gives me a headache (ages ago a rather nice sales-woman at a counter somewhere suggested I might have an allergy to 'white amber', whatever that is, and I don't know how true that could be). Despite this, I am fascinated by it. I love hemming and hawing over the little bottles. I'm fascinated by solid perfume, and the more cute, whimsical, or twee and charming the container the more smitten with something I am (although if it doesn't smell good there is no saving a delectable bottle).
I tried Vera Wang's Princess for a while, but I think it's just a tad too sweet for me. My mother wears Chanel No. 22, which is not easy to find (especially since we do not have a Nordstrom here, which I heard carried it) although she has been making do with all kinds of versions of it ordered via ebay. I once had a strange green vial of perfume that was supposed to smell like tea (it did not, but it smelled good anyway) but once it was used up that was it.
These days I'm yet another wear-er of Coco Mademoiselle. I'm not sick of it, it doesn't give me a headache, and sometimes when people smell me I get compliments. It's not too sweet, which I like, and it has the kind of iconic what-have-you lurking behind it that makes me feel like a grown up. Like when you finally figure out what your haircut is (I have yet to do this).
This has become slightly tangential. The point is I have grabbed another perfume that I can't stop loving all day. I picked it up because I liked the product's packaging (I don't care. I do judge books by their cover, I like packaging and prints and lettering and all of that) and the little moisturizers, tiny bottles and pastels. Plus, testers! Testers are really gross because everyone touches them, and I am sure they fomites of the highest degree but I love smelling and smoothing.
I bought the smallest bottle of Lollia's Wish because it had bees on it.
Alright, the bees were not the only reason. I love things in miniature (especially tiny farm animals, but small dice or elephants or impossible small containers are also delightful), and it smelled just divine. Sweet, certainly, but not overly so and sort of spicy. I keep smelling it all day, at random moments on my hand or wrist, or in my hair (on my scarf) and being thrilled by it. I recommend it (I also don't mean for so many of my recent posts to be focusing on products, but you know. Sharing the four-one-one of favorite cosmetic items is nice, and helpful, and I like stuff).
Apparently they are carried at Anthropologie, a store which my humble little city does not have (much to my dismay/disappointment/heartbreak), but they're being carried in a funny little boutique type place in a shopping center in my area. I will eventually have to go back to get the larger size, instead of the miniature one even if the tiny little bottle endears itself to me.

CARSON, Calif. (Thursday, April 17, 2014) – The LA Galaxy II (2-1-1, 7 points) will conclude their five-game home stretch when they host Orange County Blues FC (1-2-0, 3 points) in USL PRO Week 5 at the StubHub Center Track and Field Stadium on Saturday, April 19 at 7:30 p.m. PT. All of the action will be streamed live via lagalaxy.com and the club's YouTube channel with play-by-play commentary from LA Galaxy broadcast veteran Joe Tutino.
The LA Galaxy II endured an up-and-down week as they defeated Oklahoma City Energy FC on April 7 by a score of 4-2 before suffering their first loss of the season last Sunday when they fell to Sacramento Republic FC 3-0. Los Dos now sit in third place of the USL PRO standings with seven points after last weekend's loss, dropping their record to 2-1-1.
For his role in LA's win over Oklahoma City, Galaxy defender Daniel Steres was named to USL PRO's Team of the Week for the fourth week of the USL PRO season. Steres' honor is the second time that the defender has been named to USL PRO team of the week and the fifth time that a Galaxy II player has made the list.
Saturday's match against the Blues will mark the second time that Galaxy II will face off against their Southern California rivals in USL PRO play. In their first meeting, Galaxy midfielder Kenney Walker scored a goal and recorded an assist as LA Galaxy II defeated the Blues 3-1 in their inaugural match on March 22 in Carson, Calif.
The Orange County Blues enter the match with a 1-2-0 record after winning their first match of the season against Sacramento Republic last Saturday with a 2-1 result after having dropped their first two matches to Oklahoma City Energy FC and the Galaxy II. The Blues currently sit in ninth place of the USL PRO standings with three points.

Talking to Children About Disasters
Children can cope more effectively with a disaster when they feel they understand what is happening and what they can do to help protect themselves, family, and friends. Provide basic information to help them understand, without providing unnecessary details that may only alarm them.
For very young children, provide concrete explanations of what happened and how it will affect them (eg, a tree branch fell on electrical wires and that is why the lights don't work). Let children know there are many people who are working to help them and their community to recover after a disaster (such as repair crews for the electric company, or firefighters, police, paramedics, or other emergency personnel). Share with them all of the steps that are being taken to keep them safe; children will often worry that a disaster will occur again.
Older children will likely want, and benefit from, additional information about the disaster and recovery efforts. No matter what age, start by asking children what they already know and what questions they have and use that as a guide for the conversation. Limit media coverage of the disaster—if children are going to watch media coverage, consider taping it (to allow adults to preview) and watch along with them to answer questions and help them process the information. While children may seek and benefit from basic information about what happened so that they can understand what is happening in their world, they (and adults) don't benefit from graphic details or exposure to disturbing images or sounds. In the aftermath of a crisis is a good time to disconnect from all media and sit down together and talk as a family.
Be sure to ask children what questions or concerns they have. Often they have fears based on limited information or because they misunderstood what they were told. Reassure children when able to do so, but if their fears are realistic, don't give false reassurance. Instead, help them learn how to cope with these feelings.
Help Children Cope
After a disaster or crisis, children benefit from adults who can help them learn how to cope effectively. Although it is not useful for adults to appear overwhelmed by the event, it is helpful to share some of their feelings and what they are doing to deal with those feelings. Children can't be expected to cope with troubling feelings if no one models effective coping. Allow children to "own" their feelings. Let your child know that it is all right to be upset about something bad that happened. Use the conversation to take the opportunity to talk about other troubling feelings your child may have. A child who feels afraid is afraid, even if adults think the reason for the fear is unnecessary. If you feel overwhelmed and/or hopeless, look for some support from other adults before reaching out to your child.
Don't feel obligated to give a reason for what happened. Although adults often feel the need to provide a reason for why someone committed such a crime, many times they don't know. It is okay to tell your child that you don't know why at this time such a crime was committed.
Children are not only trying to deal with the disaster, but with everything else that follows. They may have to relocate, at least temporarily, and could be separated from friends or unable to attend the same school. Parents may have less income and the change in finances may impact their ability to participate in activities they enjoyed or travel to visit family out of town. Allow children to express their regrets over these "secondary losses" (without accusing them of being selfish) and help them figure out ways to minimize the impact or find alternatives.
Children, just like adults, often feel helpless after a disaster. Help them figure out what they can do—that is meaningful to them—to help others in their community impacted by the disaster. For more information, see Coping and Adjustment.
Support Grieving Children
Children who have experienced the death of a family member or friend need to understand and grieve a personal loss, above and beyond adjusting to the disaster itself. Access more information on how to support grieving children.
Talking to Children about the Economy
The current economic situation is impacting adults throughout the United States and abroad. The effect that it may have on children and adolescents may be less direct—they may be worried about changes they see in their parents' mood or behavior because their parents are concerned about finances—but it is still something that parents and pediatricians should address. Talking to children about the economy, and the impact it is having on their family, can help them develop strategies for coping with the current financial situation and their day-to-day life.
Talking to Children in the Aftermath
The AAP has assembled resources for pediatricians, parents, and teachers to help children cope with the aftermath of community or school shootings. If you have concerns about your child's behavior, contact his or her pediatrician, other primary care provider, or a qualified mental health care specialist.

STOP PRESS - AMAZING NEWS FOR ALL LOVERS OF TRUTHWritten by Jacob Prasch
STEPHEN SIZER EFFECTIVELY FIRED BY C of E FIVE WEEKS PRIOR TO RETIREMENT FOR VIOLATING TERMS OF REMAINING IN MINISTRY AMIDST RENEWED ANTI- ISRAEL RANTS.
A statement by the Bishop of Guildford, Andrew Watson, re: Stephen Sizer
Date: 10 March 2017
A statement by the Bishop of Guildford, Andrew Watson.
"I have become aware that Dr Stephen Sizer has again contravened the agreement he made in February 2015 just five weeks before his planned retirement on Easter Sunday, 16 April 2017. Needless to say I am very disappointed by Dr Sizer's actions.
"Dr Sizer admits that material shared on his Facebook page in the past two weeks has breached our agreement, and so I have required him to cease all preaching, teaching and leading of services with immediate effect. He will also desist from all use of social media until his retirement takes effect.
"To allow the parish of Virginia Water to say a proper goodbye, I have conceded that Dr Sizer leads ministry over the Easter weekend."

Trailers for Cartoon Movie projects
All participants meet in the restaurant for breakfast ("Croissant Show") and after lunch ("Coffee Show") to watch in a row on a giant screen the trailers of the projects to be presented that morning or afternoon.
An attractive and catchy presentation of your project, showing its «essence» (a teaser or a nice extract of the pilot film). This trailer will be screened during the Croissant & Coffee Shows in front of all participants!
|No logo or company name at the end/beginning of your trailer
|Your trailer will be edited with the other trailers for the Croissant Show screening and we will add the project title, company name and presentation room in the same way for all the projects.
|English or with English subtitles
Full HD (Quicktime file)
2. Sound track
|No stereoscopic 3D
Please note that we don't accept any trailer in stereoscopic 3D.
The QUALITY of your trailer is very important.
- Useful to stand out from the other projects
- Will help to attract a maximum of participants to your presentation
- Remember that 2 projects will be pitched at the same time - people will have to choose which session to attend!
TIP: don't try to show too much of the story, sometimes one simple gag is more efficient than too many images.
- It is essential to meet the deadline: trailers that have not reached CARTOON by 8 February 2019 will not be presented during the Croissant & Coffee Shows, and these projects will inevitably be disadvantaged.
- Only for the Croissant & Coffee Shows: this trailer will not be available for you on site. So think of bringing a copy with you if you intend to screen it during your pitching session!
➢ 8 February: Trailer has to be sent before this deadline.

This past year has been one of
great change,
great growth,
great sorrow,
and great joy.
But most of all
great healing,
and rebuilding.
It has been an absolute surrender of all.
I've likened it to me being moved by remote control.
With God up there holding the remote.
Infinite trust, and a child-like faith.
And a backwards free-fall into his arms.
And a backwards free-fall into his arms.
Because I know he never fails, and is always faithful.
And he just keeps holding me through it all.
And he just keeps holding me through it all.
Before this experience in a lot of circumstances I'd surrender,
but then I'd return to thinking, researching, you know, not fully 100 percent releasing it.
But in an instant He transformed me and has given me opportunity
to practice this surrender all year long.
I suspect, it'll be all life long.
And it is the most freeing, and beautiful experience.
I am forever changed, and forever grateful.
And my closeness to Christ has gone to a level I wouldn't trade for anything.
He and I together we've dug in and done massive surgery.
And I've felt him building me back together brick by brick, a stronger warrior for him.
Going back and looking over some of my writing here I am annoyed at the over-thinking I see on the screen. But I won't get rid of it, because it's testament to change and growth. And I'll give that girl grace. Because that girl did not yet know, or see the whole picture. And so many things that didn't add up and didn't make sense that she was trying to fix, and repair, and lay at Jesus' feet.
The light has flooded in with truth and now those things have been released.
The light has flooded in with truth and now those things have been released.
But back to the title of this post.
The JOY of the LORD.
I know I'm being a tad cryptic. But just know that this year has been so filled with beauty from ashes and restoration for me. And I sorta just want to shout from the roof tops how amazing God is. How he has provided, and paved, and protected, and shown me his great love in small and big ways.
And through it all my friends would say, "Sometimes we forget all you're going through because you just keep holding it together and smiling." And I say it is because I have learned what it really means to have the joy of the Lord as my strength. Truly that has sustained me. And every single night, after getting my kids to bed, and cleaning up I sit down, and I am happy.
I am grateful.
And I do not forget to count my stones of remembrance for all He has done.
I am grateful.
And I do not forget to count my stones of remembrance for all He has done.
In a very random connection I was at a birthday celebration for a sweet friend recently. It was a surprise backyard movie party. Her favorite movie is Mary Poppins. So the stage was set, and we had the most wonderful time celebrating, singing, talking, and laughing.
And speaking of laughing, that scene where they float to the ceiling every time they laugh led to some discussion, and a statement that just confirmed what I feel about finding joy in the Lord.
A friend said, "What if we really did float when we laugh?"
And another replied, "Well if we did, we'd have to get Jackie down from the moon."
Down from the moon.
I like that.
And I think I don't want to come down from the moon.
Happy three-day weekend friends.
I hope you find moments to laugh to the moon too.
Happy three-day weekend friends.
I hope you find moments to laugh to the moon too.

|Cold cooked shrimp are dressed up with a tangy remoulade sauce and served over a bed of lettuce.
Shrimp RemouladeA popular appetizer, shrimp remoulade is simply cold shrimp, doused in remoulade sauce and generally spread over a simple bed of crisp lettuce. That's pretty much it, because the tangy, spicy remoulade sauce speaks for itself.
I prefer to prepare the remoulade sauce in advance on its own and let the flavors marry for a day in the fridge. Then, the next day, I cook the shrimp in a skillet of hot canola oil, just until done. Let the shrimp cool, then toss them with enough of the remoulade sauce just to give the shrimp a nice coating. Extract the shrimp, letting the excess sauce drip off and then arrange them on a bed of nicely shredded romaine lettuce.
You can also add the slightly undercooked shrimp to the remoulade sauce when you make it a day ahead, toss the shrimp with enough of the sauce to cover them well, stir in the juice of one lemon and let them marinade overnight in the fridge. The citrus will help to finish cooking the shrimp and they will soak in some of the flavors of the marinade.
A very popular way to serve Shrimp Remoulade is over fresh from the fryer, fried green tomatoes. They are the perfect vehicle. The combination is also pretty good on a sandwich roll though, or slid in between slices of fluffy French bread. But please ... just promise me you won't call it a po'boy.
Recipe: Shrimp Remoulade©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 5 min |Inactive time: 8 hours | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 2 pounds of shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 to 3 tablespoons of vegetable or canola oil
- 3 to 4 cups of shredded lettuce
- 1/2 to 1 cup of remoulade sauce, made in advance
- 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, for garnish
Pat shrimp until well dry. Heat 1 tablespoon of the canola oil in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add the shrimp, cooking in batches and adding oil as needed for each batch. Lightly brown the shrimp on both sides, remove and set aside to cool, reserving a few of them to chop for garnish.
Transfer the shrimp to a small bowl and spoon the remoulade sauce over them; gently toss. Shred lettuce and place onto individual serving plates and remove the shrimp one at a time, allowing excess sauce to drip off. Arrange the shrimp on the shredded lettuce, top with a few of the reserved chopped shrimp and a sprinkle of parsley. Serve in martini glasses for a very nice presentation. Also great over fried green tomatoes, on a sandwich roll, or slid in between slices of fluffy French bread.

While I am not a smoker, nor do I smoke pot I thought this would be a interesting discussion to bring up.
If cigarettes became illegal tomorrow (caught smoking would mean going to prison for months and you would become an ex-con)... would you still smoke? reddit
The point for me is to illustrate the ridiculousness of all of it.
The gov should be helping people with addictions. Not putting them into jails and ruining their life with a ex-con tied around their neck for the rest of their life.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic.
Views: 397
Most smokers would still smoke. Pot is illegal (in most places) and there is absolutely no shortage of people doing that.
Also, I don't think any drug should be illegal. Regulated (like nicotine and alcohol, sure) but not illegal. I don't think it's the governments place to help people with their addictions, either. People do drugs, drugs don't do people....a lesson some have to learn the hard way.
But the inverse question would be, "If marijuana were legal, would even more people smoke it?"
Certainly. A considerably higher amount than already do? Doubtful. It's too accessible.
I already have the beginnings of COPD, have tried to quit smoking several times (cold turkey, nicotine replacement, Zyban, blah blah) and still smoke. I can't really afford manufactured cigarettes anymore, so I use cigarette tubes with a tabletop machine to pack them.
The craving for tobacco is incredible. My mother has been off cigarettes nearly 10 years, and she says that sometimes she feels like she could just eat a pack of cigarettes. Tobacco has a higher recidivism rate than opiates as well, from what I've read.

Containers! - The "shot heard around the world"... DOCKERS
The industry is touting a new paradigm where an application, any application, will come to you in a "container" which you can deploy on whatever platform you desire. This means Unix/Linux/Apple/Microsoft/Minis/Mainframes/etc.
Containers, not a new term, but a new view on its use, is a Visualization technology. KVM and other hypervisors allow Puppy users to run addition distro OSes on their PUPs (LightHouse64, FATDOG, EmSEE, Just-LightHouse64, and some others are PUP distros where one can easily do this using Guides that are in the forum, today). So,
for example
, using EmSee the user boots and starts the QEMU Launcher from the Menu to run a virtual PC where a 2nd distro can be booted and run. In most cases, your 64bit PC will use KVM, a Linux kernel module, to get native speeds from both the running PUP and the distro in the virtual PC.
Containers goes further: It too uses Linux's built in services that supports its operations so that a "contained" application can be dropped onto the system and run and it will NOT step on the toes of any running applications in the running system. Imagine a metal container being lifted off of a train and loaded onto a truck trailer for transport.
With software defined networks (SDNs) growing in use and new data devices rapidly growing, a new kind of secure isolation of applications is occurring. You can run a container on your Puppy or on another PC on your LAN, or hosted on some webhost, or in the cloud where ALL YOU NEED is the application in its container.
It should not be too long before some PUP developer provides a PET, for PUPPY use, of these "Containers". Its open source and free to download and use.

Thinking ... Android and iOS, not to mention, IoTs and management for specifics not only in industry, but in home/personal use.
This is a key point to remember in the rise of this; 2 decades ago, JAVA started with a "run everywhere" strategy. Containers and the Tech industry giants are throwing their muscle to
address similarly
, with SDNs in the backlight of the Containers use for future manufacturing.
This post is just an attempt to reduce the complexity in understanding to a singularity. And, the thread intends an awareness, so that if kernel additions/changes and a PET shows up, community knows what it is intending to provide users.

Post subject: Containers work on Fatdog64
Subject description: LXC containers can be made on Fatdog64
I'm fairly new to Puppy Linux and decided to go with Fatdog64 version 702. I was quite surprised with the amount of virtualization packages it came with. It has a package to support creating containers (package lxc-utilities).
For anyone who is curious and wants to try after installing the package I was able to successfully create an Ubuntu 16.04 container which I creatively named ubuntu1604 on Fatdog64 by just running the following:
lxc-create -t download -n ubuntu1604 -- --dist ubuntu --release xenial --arch amd64
To login you'll have to change the root password of the ubuntu container with:
chroot /var/lib/lxc/ubuntu1604/rootfs/
Then you can start it and login with:
lxc-start -n ubuntu1604
If you want your container to have Internet access you'll need to setup a bridge and do more configuration.
Fatdog64 also has packages for qemu and User Mode Linux.

I really can't believe we've had Lily with us for over 2 months now. That can't be possible!!! Unbelievable.
Adjusting to being a mother of three was not exactly a walk in the park for me. I wish that I could say that I'm an all powerful super mom and nothing gets me down but that's just not true. Emotionally, I felt 100% that I had birthed a baby. The ups and the downs. Baby blues. You name it. It was so weird. I kept saying to Shane..."What the heck is wrong with me? Why am I so emotional? It's not like I have all the raging hormones from having a baby!" Wrong. They were all there. Our female hormones are crazy. And frustrating sometimes. Not to mention sleep deprivation. Does things to you! But after the first few weeks things got better in that department. I wasn't crying every day for no apparent reason. I felt like I was starting to get a hang of my new normal and getting to know my Lily better. Every day just gets better. And not going through the physical pain and recovery. FAB.U.LOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep.
These days I feel like my heart will burst, literally, everyday. Too much love to handle. Sounds silly but it's absolutely true! I am enjoying having in a baby in our home SO MUCH. Completely different experience than I had with my twins. I have time to just love on her...something that I wasn't able to do as much with the boys. With them it was all business and such a production to just keep them both fed, changed, sleeping, and happy. Night times were dreadful. Not so now. Being able to just hold my baby is complete heaven. And her smiles just make me melt. She has my heart that's for sure.
Carson and Cade are amazing big brothers. They are the greatest helpers and are so proud to show her off. They have had to adjust to not having me available for their every waking need and that's been challenging. It was just me and them for so long. Even at their older age, making changes for a new little person has been a little hard on them. But they are doing so much better these last few weeks.
And Shane. He is the super hero in all of this. Nothing gets to this man! He is our rock. And man...seeing him with Lily is just the best. He is the sweetest to her and wants her in his arms right when he walks through that door everyday. We love our Dad. TONS and LOTS!
Now...some much needed pictures.
Or not. Computer is having issues. Soon then. This will have to do!!

Dynamite National Day Cup in store
Dynamite and Fryvolous, winners of the Group 1 Purebred Arabian National Day Cup in 2006 and 2008 respectively, both feature among the nine declared for the 1600m feature this Sunday on the Abu Dhabi turf.
Dynamite has been running in Qatar most recently but is returning to the UAE with new trainer Adam Aghbash but is reunited with Royston Ffrench who partnered him to win this four years ago.
Ffrench said: "It is nice to be back on the horse but this looks a tough race this year and he is probably better over further now as he gets older."
Fryvolous will be having his first start for Philippe Barbe having won this two years ago for Rod Simpson who also saddled him to land the 2009 Dubai Kahayla Classic.
He only ran once last season and Barbe said: "He has a lot of quality and is working well enough. He will come on for the run but should be competitive."
Eric Lemartinel won this last year with Mizzna and relies on UAE newcomer Nieshan under Gerald Avranche who said: "He is a new horse who we really like a lot and has been pleasing us at home. His French form is good and we think he will go close."
Doug Watson saddles Kandar Du Falgas and said: "He ran well on his comeback but this is a stronger race and Fryvolous and Nieshan will be hard to beat."
Richard Mullen, jockey on the Satish Seemar-trained Karmel De Faust, echoed those sentiments: "He worked well on the Abu Dhabi turf the other day and has settled in well over the summer but Nieshan and Fryvolous are real quality performers."
The Listed Thoroughbred version, also over 1600m, has attracted the maximum field of 16, headed by last year`s winner Jaasoos for Dhruba Selvaratnam, he is to be ridden by Kieren Fallon and the trainer, also represented by the 2008 Abu Dhabi Championship winner Mulaqat.
The trainer said: "Mulaqat is better over further but ran very well when third in the prep. Jaasoos won this last year but had the advantage of a previous outing. He is working well but should improve from the run."
Clasp was third last year for Doug Watson and the American also saddles War Monger this year.
He said: "Clasp ran a great race in this last year and is in good form. He is better drawn than War Monger who is really pleasing us at home."
Fourth last year was Golden Arrow, trained by Erwan Charpy who said: "He ran very well last year in this and seems in good form. At least he is well drawn so hopefully he can be competitive."
Eddie Jock was sixth last year for Satish Seemar and jockey Richard Mullen sounds hopeful: "He ran very well in the prep and I thought he would win as we turned for home before the winner quickened again. With luck in running he can go close."
That prep race was won by Iguaza Falls who will be a popular Pick Six selection for Mubarak Bin Shafya and Pat Cosgrave.

How to be a better driver
Whether you're driving in Peterborough or further afield, think about road user etiquette. Showing respect for other road users makes driving more pleasant for you and safer for everyone. For example, if you have to make a last minute change of lane, make your request to change clear to the driver who will need to let you in - and signal your thanks if they do. Be ready to abandon the change of lane if they won't play ball - your safety (and that of other drivers and pedestrians) is more important than getting to your destination in the shortest time possible. When the position is reversed and a driver asks your permission to change lanes, allow them to as long as it is safe. If you get frustrated, avoid using your horn - it won't improve matters and might make them considerably worse.
