On this day, more than a few years ago, my wife was born. And yes, it's Valentine's Day. Sucks to be me, you say? Ah, not so fast… yes, her birthday is on Valentine's day, so yes, there is the chance to royally mess up if I forget. It also means a little more planning than "just a birthday" or "just Valentine's Day" (and do you know how hard it is to find the combo Valentine's Birthday cards?)…
But she's my wife, you know? So no, it doesn't really suck at all to be me. Not at all.
Happy Birthday, Love!

Here's an idea … mobile posts on Mondays. I'm off on Mondays so if an idea hits me while I'm out and about, I can jot a quick post from my mobile device.
I finished reading Doctor Sleep by Stephen King, and I've seen both movie versions on The Shining but have never read the book. Can you guess what I'm reading now? THE SHINING!
The mini series was truer to the book, but at about 30 pages in, I'm already finding so much content not depicted in either movie.

An unbeaten March has eased relegation worries for Belper Town ahead of Saturday's visit of high-flying Frickley Athletic (3pm).
But manager Aaron Webster wants his players to keep their feet on the gas and see how high they can finish.
A 2-1 win away to Romulus on Saturday made it two wins and three draws from five games in March before Monday's scheduled home clash with Sheffield FC was lost to a waterlogged pitch.
"Being undefeated in a month is a good achievement, especially in a league like this when you look at the results every weekend and there is not just one surprise, there's always a few," smiled Webster.
"So to go five games unbeaten we're really happy. It's built confidence. You can see the team are together and we have just got to take that forward into the last few games to the end of the season.
"There is no real target. We just want to play well and not lose games.
"It's nice to actually look at the league table now and not be looking what's behind us.
"In January and February that's something I was doing every time I looked at the league, probably four times a day.
"I was thinking if everyone catches up with with their games in hand with maximum points we are in trouble.
"These last five games have settled those fears and now we are closer to the top 10. I think we're six points off it and it would be nice to get in there. But there is no real goal.
"We need to carry on with what we're doing, not get carried away with anything and see what happens in the last few games."
Webster said it was frustrating to see the weather put pay to Monday's game.
"Obviously being on a bit of a run, going five unbeaten you want every game to be on," he said.
"We have to be a bit patient and now we're just looking forward to the next game.
"The weather wasn't great over the weekend and I think we were probably a bit lucky we played at Romulus on Saturday as we got away with having a game on a 3G pitch."
Belper's next test is a visit from promotion-chasing Frickley on Saturday and Webster said: "It will be tough. But they are all tough in this division, even against Romulus, who are bottom of the league, wasn't easy.
"It's all about how you go into the game and what mentality you've got. Saturday's game will be no different.
"We've done well against the top sides. We've put in good performances against them and now we've got to do it again. We need to show them what we can do.
"If we can take our confidence and good form into the game I'm sure we have a chance of claiming some points."
On team news for the weekend, he added: "Haydn Goddard came off with a sore foot on Saturday and he will be assessed at training on Thursday.
"Alex Steadman is not 100 per cent. We have Jake Carlisle back from suspension though Jack Hallahan still has another two games of his ban to serve."

7:00 AM | Another summerlike day with heat and humidity; strong storms possible today and Thursday; much cooler this weekend
Paul Dorian
6-Day Forecast
Clouds this morning, partial sunshine this afternoon, very warm and humid, chance for showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and any storm that develops can be strong, highs in the mid 80's
Mostly cloudy, mild, chance for showers and thunderstorms and any storm that forms can be strong, low-to-mid 60's
Mostly cloudy, warm and humid, showers and thunderstorms likely and some of the storms can be strong-to-severe, near 80
Thursday Night
Mostly cloudy, mild early, turning cooler late, chance for showers and thunderstorms, mid-to-upper 50's by morning
Mostly cloudy, breezy, cooler, chance for residual showers, upper 60's
Slow clearing, windy, cool, still cannot rule out a couple of showers, low-to-mid 60's
Mostly sunny, breezy, cool, mid-to-upper 60's
Partly sunny, still on the cool side, near 70
A taste of summer will continue today in the Mid-Atlantic region as temperatures will climb well up into the 80's in most locations and humidity levels will stay on the high side. Dew points climbed into the middle 60's on Monday in the Mid-Atlantic region and then they reached the even more stifling upper 60's on Tuesday to go along with summerlike temperatures. Showers and thunderstorms can break out at just about any time this afternoon and evening although much of the time will be rain-free. Any storm that forms this afternoon or evening can be on the strong side with some briefly heavy rainfall and perhaps hail and high wind gusts. By tomorrow, a strong cold front will be moving through the Ohio Valley on its way to the east coast and this will enhance the chances for shower and thunderstorm activity in the Philly metro region and there is a decent chance that strong-to-severe storms will develop later tomorrow and tomorrow night in the entire region between the Carolinas and New England.
Once the cold front reaches the east coast by early Friday, it will tend to slow down a bit as a coastal storm develops and this will allow for mostly cloudy skies to continue on Friday along with cooler conditions and the threat for residual showers and this may even linger into Saturday as well. By later in the weekend, strong Canadian high pressure will build into the Mid-Atlantic region and, similar to many previous springtime scenarios, much colder-than-normal air will spread to the eastern states with this high pressure system. As a result, it does not look at all like a "beach-type" weekend for coastal locations in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, and frost is actually not out of the question for some interior, higher elevation locations. Cool and dry weather is likely to continue into the latter part of the Memorial Day weekend.
One final note: the tornado that struck Oklahoma on Monday has now been upgraded to an "EF-5" classification level which is the most intense type on the "Enhanced Fugita" scale and it is suggestive of 200+ mph winds.

Lennie at Education Matters filed an "open records" request with some school districts to see if, like District 211, they also used a no-bid business model in their energy purchases.
A lot of school districts who are buying energy from the Illinois Energy Consortium, as he has learned through his Freedom of Information requests, did not use a competitive bid process.
One of those school districts is Round Lake, as Lennie reports.
He says:
You might be asking yourself why I am holding out Round Lake as different than other particpants in the IEC, IUPC, or other energy consortiums who did not competitively bid energy contracts. The answer is simple, Round Lake schools have been under State Finance Authority since 2002. In other words, while under State Control, the school district has been allowed to continue the practice of no-bid contracts.
The SFA fixed the glaring financial mismanagement that had been rampant in the district necessitating the State oversite. They allowed the no-bid practice to continue that has enabled other State organizations, the IASB, IASBO, and the IASA to collect millions of dollars at the expense of the taxpayers.
Lennie notes that the Illinois Senate and House are pushing through bills as fast as they can to legally exempt school districts from having to get competitive bids.
It's urgent that you contact your senator and representative. Lennie shows you how to do that.

Hi all. So, here's a fly for your ointment. I refer to Informatics U4O1 key skill 1.
I am reading 'How To Fly a Horse'* by Kevin Ashton, which is a study of creative thinking. He discusses brainstorming, which is taken for granted as a standard tool for generating creative ideas. In short, he says brainstorming is a waste of time.
He says that brainstorming (invented by Alex Osborn in 1939 and published in his book of 1942) has two assumptions:
1. groups produce more ideas than individuals
Researchers in Minnesota** tested this in the 3M company.
Half the subjects worked in groups of four. The other half worked alone.
In every case, the people working independently produced 30% to 40% more ideas than the groups, and the ideas were independently judged to be of higher quality.
Later research found productivity decreased as group sizes increased.
Conclusion: contrary to expectations, group brainstorming actually inhibits creative thinking.
2. no contribution should be criticised
Ashton says that researchers in Indiana got groups to brainstorm ideas for brand names of products.
Half the groups were told to refrain from criticising ideas. The other half were allowed to offer criticism as they went along.
The groups that did not criticise produced more ideas, but all groups produced the same quantity of good ideas, according to independent judges.
Deferring criticism added only bad ideas. Later research confirmed this.
Conclusion: the best way to create solutions is to work alone and evaluate solutions as they occur. Don't try to create revolutionary ideas with a committee or a team.
It makes one think…

I had gourds all up in my kitchen today.
A fun fact: So my mom heard on NPR (a good deal of my conversations with my mom are based on things she heard on NPR) that there's this tradition in Ukraine equating pumpkins… with rejection.
Apparently when a fella goes a courtin' in Ukraine, if the girl isn't interested in marrying him, she gives him a pumpkin.
And he has to walk home, through the town, the object of everyone's ridicule, carrying a pumpkin.
Like so (my very helpful recreation):
And now whenever a politician tries to overstep his bounds, or there's a celebrity scandal or something, in modern Ukraine it is called "getting pumpkined". Fascinating!
Anyway, we had the above pumpkin leftover from Halloween. And then inspiration struck: slightly ridiculously, a friend of a friend posted on that friend's facebook wall this recipe for baked pumpkin oatmeal. That is oatmeal. Baked in a pumpkin.
Obviously, I was ON IT.
I whacked the top off of my pumpkin in a perhaps not entirely safe manner…
Cleaned out its guts and so on.
I wanted mine custardier than the recipe, so I mixed up (for 3 servings) 1 egg, 1 1/2 cups of milk, and dashes of cinnamon and stevia.
Then dumped that in my pumpkin with 1 1/2 cups of oats
Then into the oven it went, for a ridiculously long time. I kept taking the top off then putting it back on then worrying the pumpkin stem was going to catch on fire… whatever.
I ended up with an adorably wrinkled pumpkin.
And it was filled with custardy, pumpkiny oats (definitely scrape the good stuff off the sides!)
Then my oven was already on, so I was like hey, I'll throw in my farmer's market kabocha for the next time I need squash (I very frequently need squash).
I love farmer's market vegetables. They aren't the perfect hotties. They will dazzle you with what's on the inside.
Obviously with squashies come squashie seeds. I made two versions. From the punkin, I took the savory route, tossing them with cumin and paprika:
The kabochas were tossed with cinnamon and a bit of maple syrup, for a sweeter experience:
Given a roasty, tossing occasionally, til they looked done (I am so bad at like… recipe instructions).
Then I got to my usual Sunday mode of kind of just trying to deal with things in my kitchen so they would be easily accessible for the week.
That meant getting on my quince, that forbidden fruit, that we got at the farmer's market and were told to use for "jam or something".
I went for chutney: I combined the quince, seeded and chopped up; 1 T apple cider vinegar; 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup water.
Then I brought that to a boil, partially covered it, and simmered it. And kept adding water, in 1/4 cup or so increments, til it looked done (again, yes, vague).
Quince is vair high in pectin, apparently, which explains how beautifully jammy it got in a very brief period of time.
Annnnnnnnd pectin is really good for you, in addition to being a good coagulator. I taught my kiddos all about it when we made apple bread.
As for the taste, it's like apple but… different.
Yes, very helpful. Anyway, this chutney was boss.
Then I was really boogieing.
There were turnips (score) which meant turnip greens (double score). Who feels like cleaning turnip greens on a weeknight? NO ONE. So I trimmed and washed them and there was great volume…
And then steamed it and there was only tiny volume…
But the shape of dinner was beginning to come together in my head. I need you to stay with me, because it was DELICIOUS.
So I had chutney, and that made me think India. And Lord knows the Indians make crazy tasty greens, so I figured I'd bring those into the picture too.
Then I thought hey, I have cauliflower in the fridge. What a quintessentially Indian vegetable! Tossed it with some olive oil and garam masala and put it in the still-hot oven to roast.
And then I thought well a lot of Indians are vegetarians and eat a lot of eggs, and I already have hardboiled eggs in the fridge, so… I'll add that too…
Fortifying, deliciously bitter greens; protein-filled, yolk-rich egg; gently spiced, still slightly crunchy cauliflower; all topped off with the sweet, sour 'n tangy chutney.
Make this.

Gardening Trends
Like apparel or automotive design, gardening goes through trends. Last year's trend was vertical gardening, with living walls and treillage seeming to appear in all the gardening magazines and workshops. For cialis 5mg a decade or more "green" and sustainable gardening has been trendy (actually I hesitate to label them "trends"—I don't think we'll ever go back to planting increasing numbers of invasive exotic species or trying not to minimize the amount of water and pesticides needed). Other recent trends have included water gardening, the "tropical look," and incorporating edibles into the landscape (this is another one I'd guess is here to stay).
This year's trend seems to be cocktail gardening (not to be confused with gardening while intoxicated). Cocktail gardening is growing plants to use in cocktails–more than just a pot of mint for mojitos and using a few tomatoes to make a fresh Bloody Mary. Some folks are growing a dozen different kinds of mint so they can get just the right combination of flavors for their gourmet mojitos. Others are growing various fruits and vegetables selected for their flavor and texture when muddled at the bottom of an icy highball glass. Expect to hear more on cocktail gardening if you're one to peruse garden periodicals.
This photo shows a large snail munching on an eastern hemlock seedling. It was taken in Aska, Georgia, near the southern end of the Appalachians, where hemlocks are the dominant tree in the forest, more numerous than the oak, maple, pine, tulip poplar, sycamore, and sweet gum and other species they're found with. Hemlocks in Appalachia, however, are in huge trouble. They are dying by the thousands, not from snail herbivory, but by being bled dry by a little, fuzzy white insect called the hemlock woolly adelgid. A recent visit to the mountains of northern Georgia and western North Carolina let me see the situation first hand. Hardly any of the big hemlocks I saw looked healthy. In our home landscapes, hemlocks are seldom seen exceeding thirty or forty feet in height. In their native forest, they are a canopy tree, often towering twice that height or more. I saw many seedlings and small trees that showed no signs of a problem, but nearly all of the large hemlocks, at least those still alive, had thin canopies. Many of the large hemlocks had already succumbed—huge red skeletons, not yet weakened enough by decay to topple over.
It may take another decade or two, but don't be surprised if hemlocks across the southeast become like chestnuts and elm trees. There'll be a few around, but those specimens will be rare curiosities. Hemlocks have played a useful role for us in landscape design as pretty much the only shade tolerant conifer we can grow. If you've got hemlocks in your landscape, be prepared to lose them someday. The woolly adelgid can be kept at bay with pesticides, including the systemic imidocloprid, but this class of insecticides already has been outlawed some places and there's been at least one bill introduced in the Senate to make them illegal in the US (because they've been at least partly to blame for the great die-off of honeybees and other pollinators). So, this remedy may not be available for long.
I don't know what species of snail is in the photo, nor anything more about its diet (but there was more than one individual eating hemlock). I wonder if we lose all (or nearly all) of the hemlocks, whether that snail will disappear, and how many other species dependent on hemlocks will be lost forever.

My friend, it's been a long time since we talked. I remember those times where I was lonely. I had no one to talk to. Even though I wanted to open up to other people, I can't I'm just too shy. Walking around that campus made me feel pretty much very lonely. I should be enjoying the taste of freedom but unfortunately the thought of being so alone bound me to this lonely feeling.
I remember the day when I felt sick and no one cared for me. Everyday I have to go to the drug store and buy all the things I need. Sometime I forget something and didn't bother to come back because I was so fear. Every night, I succumbed to that thought that I will never survive this life.
Come the day where you were introduced to me. It was the first time someone approached me and shook my hand and said, "Welcome to UP!" At that moment, I finally knew that I had a wall to lean on.
Every time I had some problems, I came to you. Even though I don't like the solutions you have given me, I knew it was for the best. I looked up to you and shared every detail of my life to you. There were times that I really fell and you helped me up. With you by my side, I stood up and fought for my survival.
You were there in all my trials and failures.
I know this will end soon, but I didn't know it was sooner than I had expected.
You left me.
You left me when I was just learning how to stand up on my own. You left me when I was just beginning to learn to be independent. Worse, you left me when I was at the lowest point of my life.
I don't know if I will ever forgive you for that. The pain. The suffering that I have experienced.
Then came the time that we meet again, you asked for forgiveness. Believe me, I wanted to forgive you. But I just can't.
I can't.

Thousands Petition Government
It is a very long time since my first newspaper editor banned female reporters from wearing trousers. It was freezing going out to interview people or cover court cases in mid-winter but skirts were obligatory wear and they were damned short back then.
Fast forward to an age where I thought women could choose their own work attire, only to discover this week that it's still legal for companies to set separate dress codes for men and women and enforce them.
A young woman temping for a London City firm claims she was sent home for refusing to wear high heels. Nicola Thorp says she was expected to do a nine-hour shift on her feet in shoes with heels between two and four inches high
She reported for work at accountancy firm PwC in flat shoes and apparently, Portico who run PwC''s reception in London's Embankment, sent the naughty girl home for refusing to totter about all day on her toes.
Thorp has now set up a petition to the government, insisting women should "have the option to wear flat formal shoes at work". It has attracted more than 100,000 signatures from those who find the insistence on high heels decidedly sexist.
Just when we thought we could break through the glass ceiling, we discover that we can only do it on spike heels – time to stamp on it girls!
Here's where you stamp…..

secnidazole usa Ancient buildings can talk. They tell stories to those who are ready to listen. They communicate in a language of dreams and fantasies. The surviving colours in their walls and facades tell stories of times of glory and destruction while the temple still stands. To the eyes of a kid standing on top of Pakal's temple in Palenque, these ancient Mayan buildings had to come back to life, one way or another. That kid was me.vidalista 60 uk
zyvox 600 mg price After exploring Palenque in May 2000, I left with the intention of bringing back to life the colours and designs that once covered those buildings. Now, as an adult, I see how difficult this idea of mine is. It was my childhood dream to see how these buildings would look like if reconstructed, so I decided to give it a try.
lotrisone otc vs prescription Humbled from the beginning, knowing my limitations, and having faith in myself, I was not sure where to start. I had seen amazing models of Tikal, Copán, and Uxmal in Guatemalan, Honduran, and Mexican museums respectively, but they lacked detail and colour. If I was to start this project I had to show myself whether I was capable of creating, drawing, and sculpting ancient Maya art. I had never tried sculpting anything in the past, except when I played with modelling clay as a child. So I bought some air dry clay and embarked on the journey of reconstructing Maya architecture.
diflucan costo I started my research on the internet and in the Foundation for Latin American Anthropological Research (FLAAR) library in St. Louis, Missouri. I ended up selecting a Mayan mask from the classic period in Yucatan, Mexico and started sculpting. This was my first trial. I learned some clay sculpting techniques from watching videos in YouTube and after a few days it was done. I really liked the results. It was hard work but it was worth every hour spent.
skinoren cream cost I used to work with Dr. Helmuth, president of FLAAR, who has devoted his entire career to study the ancient Maya civilisation. He has taken thousands of photos of Maya art which he made available to me for this project. After showing him my first sculpture he encouraged me to continue with the reconstruction of a whole Maya building. But before that I needed to keep trying other Maya architectural styles from different time periods as it was my original idea to reconstruct buildings from the pre-classic to the post-classic Maya periods.
dutas price india I chose a building from the Nunnery Quadrangle in Uxmal, Yucatan. I picked a mask with three Chaac heads and the God of the Rain. It took me five days to complete it. After finishing this sculpture, I proceeded to create moulds out of silicone and created a couple of copies out of plastic. The architecture in Uxmal is in the Puuc style which is very detailed, ornamental and repetitive. I needed to find a way to replicate it. I have been getting positive feedback regarding the looks of the artwork I am producing; people say it has an authentic Mayan look which makes me feel excited for the next step in the process: colour.
retin a 0.05 cream where to buy The next thing on my list is to paint the sculptures and start building the base of the pyramid. I have been doing research to find out which materials and techniques I can use to give it a more realistic appearance. This project has taught me a lot of things I did not know I could do, and it has become quite addictive.
crestor quanto costa After I complete my first architectural creation, I plan to make videos. I will use a blue screen and capture footage at different times of the day to study the colour interactions with natural light—especially with the sunlight.
endep price australia Because I have been trained as a multimedia designer, I will use my software skills to replicate these works of art in 3D. I plan to model some sculptures in my computer and eventually print them in 3D to paint them by hand. Why? Because I have the energy and opportunity to devote some time to a project that has become my passion.
glyciphage price By reconstructing ancient Mayan architectural designs, I hope to ignite other dreams. The Maya is just the beginning. There are many other ancient buildings that have stories to tell us.
dilantin cost Throughout my career, I have striven to gain knowledge and experience in computer graphics. I became a professional photographer, and learned video and post production all in preparation to make the reconstruction of a Maya building a reality. You can say that after that trip to Chiapas, Mexico, my life changed. I feel I am closer than ever before to my roots, and I feel that excitement I felt when I was a kid listening to stories those ancient building shared with me. They gave me a path to follow to bring them back to life. And to life they shall come back.

All in Men's Studies
As far as we can determine, almost all of human existence consists of humans being hunter gatherers. Only recently, historically speaking, have we changed to farming for sustenance. Even more recent is how much of our lives hide the fact that farming goes on at all. We've move from being hunters and gatherers who must search to our food; to farmers, who are still connected to where our food comes from; to now having no idea where our food even comes from. The hunter gatherer metaphor isn't just about food though, it is about cultural difference. While it is easy to see what we have gained, there is quite a bit that we have lost.
The metaphor of Icarus and Daedalus is actually more of an anti-metaphor. Instead of being a vision of what could be the story of Icarus and Daedalus is a lesson of what happens when sons don't learn from a father's wisdom and a father doesn't pay enough attention to his son to understand him. I'm simplifying of course but this lesson, this anti-metaphor is about the importance of generational wisdom. The fathers have wisdom to teach the youth but they must also learn from the youth while letting the youth fly.
I recieved "The Hidden Spirituality of Men" last Christmas along with another Mens' Studies book. I had a rough time dealing with what came up while reading the last book so I held off on reading this book. Now is the time and I think I will share.

"For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory." Romans 8:14-17
Seeing a well in Haiti, whether in a school yard, in an urban setting or out in the middle of nowhere in the mountains; it is a Spiritual moment. The question arises, are these people or this single person saved? Do they know the Son of God? The young woman at the well in the school yard in Cap Haitian in the attached photo has surely heard of Jesus Christ as the pastors there share their water with the neighborhood and also the news of our risen Savior with those who come for water. I heard a song recently about the woman at the well in the 4th Chapter of John. This woman at Cap Haitian and the words of this simple song resonate a truth of every well in Haiti that I have ever seen and also holds true for each of us.
"Jesus' feet were growing weary as he journeyed on His way. So He rested at a well side; a comfort in the heat of day. There He waited for a woman, black with sin and bound for hell. When she arrived, He plainly told her, "what you need is not in the well. He's still waiting by the well and He's holding out His hand. If you'll drink this living water you won't have to thirst again. He's been waiting by the well side knowing you'd be passing by so take advantage of the moment; He's not gone, He's still waiting by the well. Are you tired of being thirsty even though you've had your fill of the water that the world gives? Does it leave you longing still? Well, there's good news up at the well side. A woman's voice rings loud and clear, she says this man changed her forever. And if you need hope, you can find it here!"
The children attending this school have heard the good news and are sharing the news of living water with those along their journey back into their neighborhoods still listening to the lies of this world; the lies of the vodou priest. Thank you for preparing them for their journey by supporting their school feeding program.
Dear Heavenly Father, you have called your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen.
May God be with you…Jay

A Scout's Take: Sierra Canyon vs Bishop Montgomery
RIVERSIDE, CA—Duane Washington, who is headed to Ohio State in the Fall, nailed a 3-point shot that will go down as one of the most memorable shots in CIF history as he sent the game into a overtime against the NO. 1 seed Bishop Montgomery. He would eventually carry his team to the CIFSS Open Division Championship where they'll be squaring off against Mater Dei.
In the second semi-final Mater Dei would methodically put away a physical Etiwanda team behind a stellar all-around performance by Michael Wang and some clutch free throw shooting by Spencer Freedman. Here are the observations from all the action at Cal Baptist University.
Duane Washington (Sierra Canyon)
2018, PG, 6-foot-4, 190 pounds
Joel's Take: Washington, who is the nephew of former Laker and clutch shooter Derek Fisher, struggled with his scoring in the 1st half—but impacted the game in the areas of rebounding and assists. Although he wasn't efficient from the field, he hit one clutch shot after another, including a game clinching lay-up to seal the victory over Bishop Montgomery. Due to his ability to impact the game in many areas of the game and his willingness to take over a game when the opportunity arises, Washington is in the running for So-Cal POY in 2018.
All-Around Performance
Gianni Hunt (Bishop Montgomery)
2019, PG, 6-foot-2, 165 pounds
Joel's Take: Hunt, who missed much of the season with a broken ankle, looked to be rounding into shape versus Sierra Canyon. He has excellent speed and he is always in attack mode while putting pressure on the defense. The sinewy lefty can finish through contact or drop in the 3-point shot. While Singleton and Vasquez struggled a bit with their shot, Hunt kept the Knights in the game and was one miraculous shot (see above) from returning to the Open Championship.
Rebounding Machine
KJ Martin (Sierra Canyon)
2019, PF, 6-foot-6, 185 pounds
Joel's Take: Martin is one of the more debatable prospects in So-Cal. The under-sized 4-man doesn't have a perimeter skill set, but his motor is high-level as is his bouncy nature. However, the one area that has grown on me in terms of his game, is his relentless nature at both ends of the floor. Finishing well-above the rim, gobbling up rebounds, and swatting shots are part of the package.
Most Explosive Play
Cassius Stanley (Sierra Canyon)
2019, SG, 6-foot-5, 185 pounds
Joel's Take: Stanley is always good for one of those "you gotta be frick'n kidding me type of plays." His alley-oop hammer time finish off the pass from Duane Washington was spectacular to say the least. The physical tools are evident, but he is streaky in the areas of decision making (quick shots) and playing hard (needs to rebound and defend consistently). If he tightens up these areas his game goes to a whole new level.
Mr. Glue Guy
Nick Schrader (Bishop Montgomery)
2019, WF, 6-foot-4, 180 pounds
Joel's Take: The shots were not falling at a high clip for the Knights, but Schrader was there to pick up the pieces. The high-energy 4/3 has nice length, good instincts, and is a quality athlete. He is always around the ball and finishes plays inside and out with regularity. He'll be one of the more intriguing players to monitor during the club basketball scene.
Struggled with length
Oscar Lopez (Bishop Montgomery)
2019, PF, 6-foot-5, 220 pounds
Joel's Take: Lopez will be one of the more highly debated players this coming spring and fall. He is undersized and doesn't possess much bounce, but this kid has great instincts, uses his frame well to carve out space, and plays with a hot motor. However, against Sierra Canyon, he struggled finishing over the length and athleticism and it will be interesting to see his production when he plays against that type of size during the club basketball season.

'Tired of trying to hold the system together when it's broken' – NZ teachers prepared to strike for pay hike | 1 NEWS NOW | TVNZ
Primary school teachers have today announced they are prepared to strike to get a significant pay hike.
A pay deal with the government ends next year, but teachers say they aren't prepared to accept a raise of between just one and two per cent.
At a conference in Rotorua this morning, teacher representatives from the NZ Education Institute Te Riu Roa union voted to take action if they don't get what they want.
"Right now, children are missing out on some opportunities to learn because their teachers are bogged down in administration and testing, or are struggling to get support for children with additional needs," NZEI president Lynda Stuart said.
"To make matters worse, children are increasingly in doubled up classes because their school can't find enough teachers.
"Teachers and principals are fed up with seeing children miss out on the education they deserve and we're tired of trying to hold the system together when it's broken."
Collective agreements for primary principals and teachers are up for negotiation in the middle of next year.
NZEI Te Riu Roa members will begin paid union meetings to form a claim from term from next year.

Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso
This was the full name of Pablo Picasso when he was born in Malaga, Spain in 1881. On our second afternoon at his villa in Mougins, France, he wrote this down for me because we had engaged in making fun of the long names of some aristocrats still holding sway in the casinos and beach resorts of Europe.
"I was 33 years old when those titled (expletive deleted) started World War One in order to hang on to their empires and monarchies. Later my work up to this point was broken down in 'periods', from Blue to Rose, the African, Analytic Cubism and Synthetic Cubism. I knew nothing of this then because I simply lost interest in a particular style and begun to experiment with something new. Most of my 'periods" cannot really be defined by specific time frames or events, they segued into one another, often seamlessly, at other times because I simply lost interest. I was also keenly aware of what sold and had enough sense to keep back a lot of my work in case of a resurgence of interest or to flesh out a new exhibition of older work".
"How many paintings did you do until now?" I queried.
"It is not just the paintings, it is the ceramics, sketches, lithographs, copper plates, sculptures and other experimental work. All in all, about 50,000 pieces but I still have more than 2,000 that few have ever seen and right now I am working on a new series as well. Last year I did the sculpture for Chicago..."
|Chicago Picasso at Daily Plaza, installed 1967
We left the studio and went for wine and finger sandwiches on the patio. On one side of the terrace, a massive grape arbor shaded the flagstones and was hung with large deep red fruit.
"May I try one?" I asked. "I recommend against it" grinned my host. This is pure vinegar". Of course I had to try a grape but he was right. While bursting with juice, the grape was sour.
"It is mostly ornamental but we use it for a pretty dramatic salsa.
On the lawn Tamara was showing Jaqueline some dance steps and suddenly Picasso took one of his ever present sketch pads and begun to draw. Within minutes he had created six charcoal sketches of Tamara in various poses, over emphasizing eyes (looking heavenward) and her legs (twisted together).
"You can have those" he said and tossed them across the table and now I can explain the title of part one of this story:
"Don't ask me to sign them" he uttered. "I like you but I am not going to make you rich".
And there you have Picasso as we met him on those wonderful fall days in the South of France: A kind host but inscrutable, a man who would carefully measure his words but who had built an impregnable wall around himself, a wall that contained Jacqueline and a few selected friends and his work; Above all his work. New pieces show up to this day, the law suits and squabbles of his two children linger but in the end he won and will forever be remembered as one of the foremost artists of the 20th century, a man I had a short three days to meet almost one half century ago.
Pablo Picasso died on 8 April 1973 in Mougins, France, while he and his wife Jacqueline entertained friends for dinner. He was interred at the Château of Vauvenargues near Aix-en-Provence, a property he had acquired in 1958 and occupied with Jacqueline between 1959 and 1962. Jacqueline Roque prevented his children Claude and Paloma from attending the funeral. Devastated and lonely after the death of Picasso, Jacqueline Roque killed herself by gunshot in 1986 when she was 59 years old.

The single animal that Miami kids grew up with is gone.
White tiger Carlita, who was born in 1992 and moved to the zoo in 1994, was euthanized after a lengthy illness. She is irreplaceable.
Carlita had replaced another tiger, Lucknow, who killed a trainer that same year.
Carlita far outlived her life expectancy of 12 years and had entertained zoo-goers for years. Her two partners, the typically colored Lyric and Roshe, both died years ago.

White Bengal tigershave been difficult to breed and there are few left in zoos, so she will likely not be replaced by another white tiger, says zoo spokesman Ron Magill.
Carlita was the zoo's most memorable animal. She was almost the first thing visitors saw after entering, (yeah, there are those stinky flamingos, but do they really count?) and she was an icon we all counted on.
My kids grew up with Carlita, spent nights at zoo sleepovers not far from her, and fawned over her when they were tiny. Even if they don't like to admit it now that they are older, her death has left us all missing an important part of our lives. She was one of the few things that bound together our wildly diverse city -- one of the few things we really share.

Burnout contests are highly popular in the U.S. and they usually feature normal and supercharged cars and motorcycles as main attractions of the shows. But very often we find that trucks are starting to make things foggy with their four-wheel burnouts and now, this go cart is the latest unique appearance.
It is posted on the motorcycle section of the site because the engine working that magic comes from a supersport motorcycle (check out the way it sounds), and the heart is everything.
Blow out those tires grandpa!

Oh, and the terrible dialogue doesn't help any either.
|Speed lines are exciting, right?
If I had to pick one moment as the worst the series had to offer, I'd go with this fight scene from part two. The awkward framing of this "action" sequence combined with the over-use of speed lines and the just plain bizarre character designs (including several long-haired headband people) produce an incoherent mess where you can't tell what's going on or who is who. Seriously, if you have any idea who any of these people are, please let me know

A Serious Man (2009)
The Coen brothers, Joel and Ethan, have been making stupendous movies for three decades, but they have never really gone too introspective. Usually their movies follow quirky characters making poor decisions and getting in too deep in a cruel world. A Serious Man is the first Coen film that feels personal. Set in the same landscape of the Coen's own upbringing, 1960s Minnesota, A Serious Man gives a few insights into how these two remarkable men became who the filmmaking geniuses they are today. But if that isn't enough for film fans, the movie is also hilarious and brilliant.
It's 1967 in suburban Minneapolis. Larry Gopnik (Michael Stuhlbarg) is a meek physics professor up for tenure. Larry is beset at all sides, from his redneck neighbor encroaching on his land, to being bribed by a Korean student unhappy with his grade, to the news that his wife, Judith (Sari Lennick) is leaving him for his colleague, the more dignified Sy Ableman (Fred Melamed). Sy suggests that the best course of action is for Larry to move out to a hotel: "The Jolly Roger is eminently habitable." The tenure board is having second thoughts because of anonymous letters, Larry's daughter is stealing money from his wallet for a nose job, his son spends more time getting high than practicing for his bar mitzvah, and Larry's unemployed, socially awkward brother (Richard Kind) is sleeping on his couch. Larry seeks counsel from three rabbis and tries to find meaning as to why his life is spinning out of control.
This is a bleak comedy with almost all of the laughs coming from how much worse things get for Larry. Now, it's not a pitch black comedy, something akin to being loathsome and eager to push an envelope; you simply can't help but laugh at how he universe is ganging up on this poor man. His life is spiraling out of control and he is helpless to stop it, and his search for some sort of theological wisdom just leaves him more confused. The various rabbis don't really have an answer to explain his suffering, and instead they each give comically nonsensical answers or stories. The junior rabbi, projecting his own low stature, asks Larry to seek God in small things, like the parking lot highlighted by his office's lone window. "Just look at that parking lot," he gushes hopefully. One rabbi gives a fantastic story about a Jewish dentist discovering a strange Hebrew message carved on a patient's (a goy's) teeth. The story eventually goes nowhere and the rabbi's advice is merely a shoulder shrug and this bit of feeble wisdom: "Helping others? It couldn't hurt." To the Coens, Larry is the modern-day equivalent of Job, befalling misery and looking heavenward to ask, "Why me?" He could easily be any one of us. In the face of turmoil, it feels like the Coens prescription is to laugh, the only way to remain sane in this world. And so we do laugh, dubiously, and this is how we cope with life and its ongoing uncertainty.
And A Serious Man is seriously funny. I snorted out loud three times, unable to control my growing guffaws. The supporting group of characters is all wonderfully utilized, popping in for a perfectly timed plot development or a joke. This movie is relentlessly funny, structured like a runaway car that picks up momentous speed. Not a single frame feels at waste. The conversations between the supporting characters are priceless; every character has their precise place in this narrative, and the Coens manage them brilliantly. The writing is intricate and the Coens again showcase their magnificent ear for local color. Each of these people has a different speech pattern, from one Hebrew school kid's abundant use of the F-bomb, to Larry's daughter insisting she has to use the bathroom to always wash her hair, to Larry's bathroom-hogging brother's conditional response of, "Out in a minute." It's almost like a musical how well the various comedic elements harmonize. The mostly unknown cast of actors is all superb; I love how the Coens select actors with such great, easily recognizable faces. These people stand out just visually. Stuhlbarg, a theater veteran, is a terrific lead, and his performance is steeped in pursed-lip incredulity. I loved every conversation with the powerfully unctuous Sy Ableman, a character who hides his distaste in pompous vocabulary. I loved Larry's interactions with his South Korean blackmailer and his broken English. I loved how Larry's son will interrupt important occasions just to complain about the TV picture quality of F-Troop. I loved that the only person concerned for Larry's well-being is the Columbia records salesman who signed up Larry for a subscription because he failed to reject their offer.
I haven't done extensive research on this one, but A Serious Man may be the most Jewish film ever, or at least since Barbara Streisand cross-dressed in Yentl. I'm not talking movies that explore a significant chapter in Jewish history, like the Holocaust, but I can think of no other movie so steeped in the minutia of Jewish culture. A Serious Man even opens with a seemingly unrelated anecdote with a 19th century Eastern European Jewish couple arguing, completely in Yiddish, whether a guest is alive or a dybbuk (demon). Not only do we get notable religious events and observances like bar mitzvahs, sitting shiva, counsel from rabbis, the concept of a religious divorce known as a get so that a "serious man" could remarry in the faith, but the Coens get everything right down to the tiniest detail, like the exact sound of soup slurping. Even the overall tone, perseverance in the face of struggle, is an extremely Jewish perspective given what has transpired historically to the Jewish people.
The abrupt ending will likely win no favors from the people that thought they were shortchanged by No Country For Old Men's anticlimactic close, but it certainly fits the movie's bleak worldview. Larry is, by his own accounts, trying to be a "serious man" in an ever-changing community, so beware what happens if he compromises his moral values. The pessimistic finale leaves much to the imagination and whether you want to connect the events as uncoordinated random plot points, or as an ongoing celestial judgment, well the Coens are canny enough to let you figure it out. They don't have any more answers than the rabbi and the goy's teeth.
This will not be a movie for everyone, especially considering 90 percent of the laughs come from one man's unrelenting misery. Larry isn't exactly the deepest character, making it spotty to emotionally invest in his troubles. However, I found him to be an everyman cipher allowing the audience a safe entry point into the Coen spectacle of doom. The Coen brothers have always been technical marvels, but they seem to have raised their inconsiderable talents at the close of this decade. No Country for Old Men was a genre masterpiece, Burn After Reading was an entertaining farce, but perhaps A Serious Man is the most lasting picture. How do we explain bad things and bad things happening to people striving to be serious men and women in the world? I?'m not sure if the Coens have an answer or even think the answer is important. I think their viewpoint is to enjoy the ride and laugh while you can. As the Korean student's father puts it, "Accept the mystery."

Posted by Bob Condotta If the Huskies win this game — and they seem in pretty good position now — they may want to give a big thank you to Mike Riley. OSU seemed on the verge of taking complete command of this game when Riley decided to go with backup QB Sean Canfield for two series in the second quarter. It must have been planned in the wake of Matt Moore's disastrous game last week. But it seemed like bad timing as Moore was on target early and the Beavers were dominating the game. Then Canfield threw that pick to Scott White to give UW a gift touchdown and the momentum had turned for good. I think we see now why the Beavers are struggling despite possessing what seems to be an obvious amount of talent. Yvenson Bernard has 106 yards on 19 carries, the first time UW has allowed a 100-yard rusher for a game since UCLA's Chris Markey. One bad omen for UW — Dashon Goldson is apparently out for the rest of the game with that ankle injury. Comments

Eilidh Doyle admits she'll have pangs of pride when she carries out Scotland's flag in Wednesday's Opening Ceremony at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
The Edinburgh University graduate topped the poll in a ballot of team members ahead of Tranent bowler Alex Marshall and Capital shooter Jen McIntosh to take the honour on Australia's Gold Coast.
It's a second time inside a year the Olympic bronze medallist has been elected by popular acclaim by her peers after serving as captain of the British team at the world athletics championships in London. But Doyle – the first-ever female Scottish flag bearer – concedes following in the footsteps of judo player Euan Burton, who took the flag in Glasgow 2014, will be a duty to remember, with the Scots booked to be the first of 71 nations entering the Cararra Stadium for a ceremony expected to reflect both indigenous and contemporary culture. I don't know how heavy the flag is or anything like that but hopefully I get a wee shot at it before," she said. "Everyone has said I need to do a Chris Hoy with the one hand but I haven't got guns like Chris Hoy. I'll just be happily waving it."
It will be a novelty, the 31-year-old confirmed, because despite appearing at two Olympics and countless athletics championships – as well as two previous Commonwealths where she claimed silver medals – this will be a first opening ceremony she has attended.
"At the 2012 Olympics, we weren't in London. We weren't in Rio 2016 for that one. I think it's my first Opening Ceremony. We didn't go to Delhi and we didn't go to Glasgow. We were kept out of it all so it'll be even more special. We watched the Glasgow one. My training group in Glasgow all stayed in Kilmarnock out the way so we sat and watched it."
But this edition of the Friendly Games is one Doyle plans to savour, with two chances of extending her large medal collection in the 400m hurdles and then the relay.
"I'm at the point where this could be my last Games so you want to appreciate those moments."
The Scotland squad moved into the Athletes Village almost en masse on Sunday. By Thursday, it will be time to go for glory and end three weeks of slowly building to the start line with Capital stars like Lynsey Sharp, Callum Skinner and McIntosh among those tipped to excel. Four years ago in Glasgow, all eyes were on gold-medal contender Doyle before she was forced to settle for silver. This time, once her starring role at the start is over, it will be down to business and nothing else.
"I'm far more relaxed," she said. "I loved Glasgow, but I probably didn't realise until it was over how much of a strain and how daunting it was.
"This is nice. We're a lot more under the radar than we were in Glasgow. We've obviously all got our own expectations. We're wanting to come out here and perform to our own abilities, but it's definitely nice not to have that same attention that we had in Glasgow.
"I wouldn't change it for the world, but I wouldn't want to go through it again."

8 Things You Think That Make You Cute and Cool, but Actually Don't
You can't force cuteness. Every attempt to force it can actually make it worse.
1. The "bad" look.
As much as you think that the "bad" look is sexy, the truth is, the girl next to you that is smiling is much more attractive. To look fiercely must be fine if you are some kind of macho, who is ready to jump into a fight every moment, but not to a delicate creature as yourself.….READ MORE ON THE NEXT PAGE

"Focus on service is essential, particularly in view of customers' specific needs as their business requirements and profiles change. This is a new dawn"By Mke Hallam, managing director, Wish Communications
Unified communications is to experience huge growth over the next few years. It will be transformational for organisations such as Wish Communications and the way in which they recognise return on investment.
It is not a case of simply deploying the technology; it depends fundamentally upon how it is used. In most cases, the benefits of unified communications require a fresh approach to how telecoms fit within an organisation's business processes.
Historically, mobile dealers have equated strategic direction to amassing a customer base. But that has developed with the addition of landline and mobile data solutions, as well as the introduction of revenue share.
And with those, the sector is looking now to provide more meaningful and broader solutions that suit customers' very specific requirements. This move is a vital step to a full and mobile-centric unified communications solution.
Integrating an organisation's disparate communications system into a single cohesive unified communications system ensures a synergy of services from one provider, ultimately reducing cost savings and making communications more convenient.
Embracing present sales channel enhancements, where a customer takes both fixed line and mobile solutions, will enable the transfer to a unified communications solutions to be easier to manage for all parties. And customers already get more clarity through a single monthly bill for their mobile and fixed services.
Unified communications can quickly deliver benefits by simplifying and integrating communication systems. But deployment will depend on individual cases – the cultural fit, as well as how big the transformation of existing systems might be, to ensure the right solutions are identified.
The right blend of software and hardware is a complex task. The right provider must be identified. For unified communications, these types of questions get even more complicated, and require very good account management and development.
Focus on customer service is essential, particularly in view of customers' specific needs as their business requirements and profiles change. Bespoke solutions are necessary, to a greater extent. This is a new dawn of telephony.
Also, with recent Government announcements confirming plans to promote more flexible working, unified communications will help businesses facilitate increased flexibility in their work forces, ensuring employees can always stay connected and collaborate.
Unified communications is no longer a luxury for large corporate organisations; it provides an essential solution that is available to all business shapes and sizes who want to optimise their responsiveness.
Ultimately it is about making communications easy, getting ahead of the competition and giving organisations the opportunity to choose who, when, how and what communication is appropriate.
Unified communications is set to result in providing an organisation with a more effective means to stay connected with employees and customers alike, coupled with the ability to make real-time decisions.

There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the Force.
If you know me, it is no secret how big of a Star Wars fan I have always been. (EVEN BEFORE IT WAS COOL)
And I could spend the entire blog post here talking about why that is and how much it has impacted my life (gave me role models, is the reason my husband and I met, etc), but honestly that's not what I want this whole thing to be about.
You see, even though Star Wars is a fictional storyline, it has so many relatable situations, characters, and stories that can cross into our own lives. A lot of us grew up with it being a major root in our childhood. And because of that, It's become a monumental pillar in pop culture and across the world to a point where most everybody - all 7.5 billion of us - knows at least what it is even if they've never seen it.
And a lot of people, including myself, have even adopted the philosophical values the mega series has to offer for inspiration, guidance, and even as a way to live out life.
And what has drawn me most to the series is the ways of the force. How the force is this unseeable thing that connects all lifeforms together. That it's something force sensitive beings in the Star Wars universe can draw power from and use it for good, or for evil. And that the contrast is undeniably similar to the struggles we face in our real, everyday lives. And how we choose to live out our own stories.
And me? I'm always thinking about how I want to write my own story. And how it's being written everyday. But what do I want to stand for? Live for?
Well, I will always stand for the light.
To embrace the ways of life similar to that of the Jedi. To embrace the light, fight for good causes, and live out a balanced existence in such a messy world. To be a peacemaker first, but never be afraid to fight when it's needed most. To listen outwardly with others, but internally as well to yourself and the connection you have to the rest of the universe. That the connection to the universe is a connection to every living thing all around you - through the force - where you can draw strength and power from when it is needed most. And with the connection you feel through the force, you are never truly alone within this vast universe.
On a lighter note, I just got this lightsaber as an excuse to dress up REAL fancy for my nephew's 5th birthday party 2 Saturdays ago! I've been WAITING for an excuse to really dive in deep, make a costume, and get myself a real, custom lightsaber (Thanks Ultrasabers).
This saber is their Initiate v4 with their basic soundboard built in (oh yes, it makes ALL the sounds!!)
The reason I'm late getting this up though is because of 2 things - 1, this lightsaber didn't actually arrive for the party! It was late due to Hurricane Harvey, being shipped from Texas and all. And then also, last week was a WHIRLWIND. So much has happened, I feel like this would turn into a novel easily. So, I decided it was ok to post this a few days late, get some nice photos, and turn it into something fun.... late :)
Because honestly, getting this saber is literally a DREAM. COME. TRUE.
I felt like an 8 year old at Christmas.
Anyway, I thought I'd go ahead and end this post with a slideshow of photos for what this whole thing was inspired by - my nephew's 5th birthday party, Star Wars theme of course!! Hosted by yours truly, decor all hand made by my sister (Fun Fact, she's one of my second shooters at weddings!), and our momma made all the desserts. We all make a pretty good team together :)
May the force be with you. Always.

The Histrionic

|Laznia Nowa Theatre — Small Stage
Directed by:Agnieszka Olsten
AuthorThomas Bernhard
ProductionStefan Jaracz Theatre in Łódź
DURATION110 min.
Tickets40/65 PLN
Staging Thomas Bernhard's play at the Stefan Jaracz Theatre in Łódź, Agnieszka Olsten employs a variety of methods to anchor the action in the context of this post-industrial city. She also makes a bold dramaturgical move, casting Agnieszka Kwietniewska in the role of the titular, histrionic, "greatest living actor", as he calls himself—a tremendous egomaniac and megalomaniac named Bruscon. This simple strategy gives new meaning to the drama by the Austrian playwright: it becomes not only a bitter and cynical comment on the false political correctness that rules the world, but also a harsh criticism of the sexism deeply embedded in the original text and its central figure. Multiple performative actions break the theatrical illusion and push past the audience's comfort zone; the viewers thereby experience the hypocrisy of the plays the proud Bruscon stars in and the artificiality of the lines he so often speaks.
Kwietniewska deploys a wide repertoire of acting conventions, some of them resembling a cabaret show, others a circus clown performance or a politically engaged slapstick piece. Olsten mocks patriarchal cultural norms, seeming to follow the fabric of Bernhard's text closely, but in fact suggesting her own point of view, which often contradicts its values. The director affects the light tone of a buffo show, skilfully interwoven with more serious and never banal reflections on art, theatre and its nature, and the passing of time.
