Cherry Hamrick receives Carnegie Corporation of New York/
New York Times I Love My Librarian Award
NEW YORK — Today, Cherry Hamrick, library director of the Delta Township District Library in Lansing, Mich., will receive the Carnegie Corporation of New York/New York Times I Love My Librarian Award for her outstanding public service to the community and ongoing commitment to changing lives through education. Hamrick is one of only 10 librarians within the United States recognized this year for this esteemed honor.
Hamrick oversaw the construction of a new library. The new 30,000-square-foot building – the first public green building in Delta Township – earned a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.
Today's new library is teeming with activity – a true community center. Hamrick directed the organization of 338 youth programs and 258 adult programs that were attended by more than 13,000 patrons.
Hamrick has led the library as its director for more than a decade. The library serves a population of 32,408 residents and circulates more than 340,000 items per year.
Hamrick's patrons say she was the driving force behind the design and building of the beautiful, patron-friendly library, which is described by local leaders as a "well-used, IT-ready community asset."
In addition, Hamrick also shares her own experiences with partons, presenting travelogues showcasing her marathon runs in China and Antarctica. She also is a model for community engagement, as she just recently worked closely with a local Eagle Scout to build a "Little Lending Library" along a three-mile trail next to the library.
Hamrick will receive a $5,000 prize at an award ceremony and reception held this evening in New York City, hosted by The New York Times.
There are a total of 165,986 certified librarians in the United States and more than 200,000 dedicated library workers who connect people with the information access and critical resources they need to support lifelong learning.

I'm delighted today to welcome historical fiction author Julia Brannan to my blog. Julia is the author of the Jacobite Chronicles, a six-part series set around the Jacobite Rebellion in Scotland in 1745. The sixth and final instalment, Tides of Fortune, is due to be released next Tuesday 6th March and is available for pre-order from today. Having read and thoroughly enjoyed the first five books, I'm really looking forward to seeing how the series ends. I got the chance to ask Julia some questions about her writing and here is what she had to say!
What drew you to historical fiction and to the specific era of the Jacobite Rebellion?
I've always loved history from being a child and listening to my mother and grandfather tell me tales of their (very colourful) lives. I've been an avid reader from a very early age, and was introduced to fiction via children's classics such as Black Beauty, Heidi, Little Women, Tom Sawyer etc and well-written historical fiction is still my favourite genre to read.
Some years ago I started tracing my family history, and hit upon a mystery in my mother's side of the family. This was a branch of Scottish Roman Catholic Gordons who emigrated to Ireland at some point, and then returned to Scotland in the 1800s. I wondered why they would have done that, and started looking for historical reasons in the 1700s that might have made them leave Scotland. I'd never really thought much about the 18th century before – it's a period that isn't written about much by novelists, but I found it fascinating. I'd been to Culloden in the 90s and found the battlefield profoundly disturbing, but knew nothing about the background to it. Once I started reading about it I became obsessed, and the Jacobite Chronicles were born.
Have any other historical fiction writers influenced you and, if so, how?
I haven't been directly influenced in my actual writing by any other historical fiction writers, no. But I was certainly inspired to write in the genre by such talented authors as Dorothy Dunnett and Hilary Mantel. I wanted to write books that would pull the reader into my historical period and hold them there, and that would make them research the period for themselves afterwards. I don't know if I've achieved that or not, but I'm having fun trying! I did read an interview with Dorothy Dunnett about her research in which she said she kept index cards for every character which she could refer to at need. I thought this was a great idea and adopted it. It's been really useful.
What's the strangest thing you've ever had to research? Did you ever come across something unexpected that affected the direction of your story?
The strangest thing has probably been what a person looks like when they're being hung, in detail. I did the research and partly wrote the first two books pre-internet days, so I went to my local library and asked if they had any books that described that. After giving me some odd looks, they came up with one. It actually described just about every method of killing possible, and what the victim looked like before, during and after. I did wonder what sort of weird people would actually want to read about that sort of thing. And then I realised I was that weird sort of person…
I did come across something that affected the direction of my story and that was just too good not to use, yes. But unfortunately it's in Tides of Fortune, so I can't talk about it without giving away the plot and ruining it for my readers!
What do you think is the hardest part of writing?
The hardest part of writing in general is getting my bottom on the chair and switching the computer on. Once I actually start, I'm fine, and I can write for ten hours straight sometimes, completely unaware that it's gone dark and I haven't eaten since breakfast. But I can find any number of pointless things to do to stop me actually starting!
As far as writing historical fiction, one of the hardest things I think is to stay true to historical characters, who were products of their century, without alienating readers who are a product of this century. Attitudes towards women, children, crime, slavery, animal cruelty etc were very different from now, but the people who attended hangings, beat their wives and children, owned slaves or went to a dogfight or a bear baiting, were not the evil people we would think them to be now. They were just products of their time, behaving in perfectly acceptable ways. The concepts we now hold about these things were completely alien to them, but it's hard to get that across without making the reader hate your characters.
How many years have you invested in writing the Jacobite Chronicles and how do you feel coming to the end of the series now?
I started researching for the Jacobite Chronicles in 2004, and wrote the first book between 2006 and 2008. A London agent picked it up and said that she thought she could find a publisher, but then the credit crunch came and no one was taking on new authors. I wrote book two, but then life took over and it went on the back burner, as it were, until I decided to self-publish. In between I wrote a couple of contemporary novels (one of which I've since published). So overall, more than ten years, but with a bit of a gap in the middle.
I must confess I'm really sad to be finishing the series in some ways – I think the best way I can describe it is if you were to move to a new place with lots of exciting opportunities, and you were looking forward to it, but at the same time had to say goodbye to a lot of very close friends you'd known for years. I'm looking forward to starting the next series, and I will be keeping in touch with a lot of the Jacobite Chronicles characters. But it's still the end of an era for me.
How did you go about the process of getting published? Did this process change much from Book 1 to Book 6?
In 2011 I started doing some part-time proofreading and editing for some indie authors. At the time I knew nothing really about the Kindle and other e-readers, and about independent publishing.
A couple of the authors I edited for became good friends, and I watched them go from nervous newbies to extremely successful accomplished authors. It occurred to me that perhaps I should dig out Mask of Duplicity and put it up there. My author friends encouraged me and gave me a lot of useful advice too! The most useful piece of advice they gave me was: don't give up, and keep writing. If your books are good, you will be successful eventually.
My first book sold seventy copies in six months, about half of those to friends. But getting five-star reviews from strangers, who had no reason to be nice to me, and therefore must have actually enjoyed reading my work really spurred me on, along with that piece of advice. The release of book two drove more sales of book one, and then I realised that I actually had to get my act together and write the rest of the books, because there were people (only a few, but even so…) who were waiting avidly to find out what happened next.
When book four was released, I realised that I couldn't carry on as I was, working 14-16 hours a day, 7 days a week, and that something had to give. Giving up writing was unthinkable, so I ditched my day job. I've always wanted to be a writer, and I realised that if I didn't give it my all, I'd regret it in the future.
So far, I'm not regretting it. Life is wonderful, I have an army of lovely, loyal fans which is increasing all the time, and I've never been happier than I am now!
Do you have any advice for historical fiction writers?
Yes. Don't skimp on research. If you want to write credible historical fiction you have to know your time period really well – not just the events you're writing about, but the periods before and after, the way people thought then, the way they spoke, the clothes, the politics, the food…really, you need to know as much as you possibly can. Don't just use the internet. Read books, listen to the music, watch documentaries, read newspapers of the day, read primary source material, and if you can, go to places associated with your period.
If you're writing about a real historical personage, don't read one biography of them, no matter how good it's said to be. Be aware that historians bring their own prejudices into their writings. I read five biographies of Prince Charles Edward Stuart and three of the Duke of Cumberland before I even started forming an idea of their personalities.
And then, after you've done all that research, DO NOT be tempted to include it all in your books. You might find the minutiae of how a marchpane subtlety was made absolutely fascinating, but unless your book is about a confectioner, your readers will not. They just want to know that there was a perfect marchpane model of a castle on the table, complete with drawbridge and flags, and that the dinner guests were suitably impressed. The purpose of your research is for you to know that it was possible to make a castle out of marchpane, that the ingredients were available at the time, and which echelon of society could afford sugar and almonds.
The purpose of your research is to enable your readers to live effortlessly in the world you've created, not to bore them to death with your vast knowledge of it.
What do you plan to write next?
Next I'm going to write some of the back stories of the minor characters (and at some point Alex's story). I'm starting with Sarah Browne's tale. All of the books will be able to be read independently of the Jacobite Chronicles, but they will end either where they enter the Chronicles or just after.
I'm also researching for my next series, which will probably be called The Road to Rebellion, and which will start in 1685, when King Charles II died and his brother James became king. In a way it's a prequel series to the Jacobite Chronicles, and will explore the events that sparked the whole Jacobite movement, and how it progressed over the following forty years or so. The series will feature some of the characters from the Jacobite Chronicles, including Beth's grandmother Ealasaid MacDonald, and Graeme Elliot.
Ultimately, between the two series of books and the back stories, I eventually hope to paint a picture of the whole of the Jacobite period. It's a pretty lofty ambition, but I'm going to give it my best shot!
What do you like to read in your free time? Would your reading choices be strongly orientated towards historical fiction or do you enjoy reading a range of genres?
What's free time? 😉
Seriously, I spend almost all my free reading time reading non-fiction about the periods I'm writing about or going to write about, particularly at the moment, when I'm about to embark on a fresh historical period. But when I DO take a bit of time away, I will read virtually any genre as long as it's well-written.
My favourite books of all time are by Tolkien – The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion. The Lord of the Rings is the only book that I've read multiple times. The quality of the writing I find utterly breathtaking.

Engines / Continuation on my first post on LV1 Cyl Heads removal« on: February 23, 2019, 02:51:24 AM »
Still haven't got the heads off but have removed the Flywheel and Aluminum fan shroud. I am amazed to discover the pistons are not seized but rather a whole bunch of crap built up between the back of the flywheel and the crankcase. engine rolls over easy - probably too easy. Thinking ahead to future problems, can I use a ridged hone to remove some of the excess tapper from these cylinder barrels? Assuming there is excess tapper. Then go back together with standard rings? Secondly, I'm in Northern Ontario Canada and are there recommendations as to a parts supplier?
Thanks again for any assistance. Ron

Motorcycles, Music, and Art at the City by the Bay
Words by Dale Spangler | Photos by Jacob Vaughan
Presented by Tucker Powersports
It's no coincidence that motorcycles, music, and art give us a similar type of rush. All three help us to escape the routine of daily life, allow us to feel more alive—and free. That's why when we heard about the inaugural Roland Sands Moto Bay Classic in San Francisco, we knew we had to be involved. Moto Bay was inspired by the 2017 Moto Beach Classic held in Huntington Beach that combined motorcycle flat track and drag racing with a surf competition, art show, and music. The event was an overwhelming success and for 2018 Sands decided to create a second Classic in the motorcycle-friendly city of San Francisco off the Embarcadero at Pier 32. With its urban setting and spectacular views of the Oakland Bay Bridge, San Francisco Bay, and downtown skyline, Pier 32 is a picture-perfect place to hold a motorcycle event. With racing, stunt riding, music, and art on the schedule, Sands created the Moto Bay Classic to have its own unique festival atmosphere with the same focus on fun as Moto Beach.
No stranger to motorcycle action, Pier 32 is the same location where the 2000 Summer X Games took place—the first to include Freestyle Moto-X. It was here that a then 15-year old Travis Pastrana recorded the highest score in X Games history with a 99.00 Gold Medal run. Less talked about, is that Pier 32 is also the location of Pastrana's (in)famous jump into San Francisco Bay. Having just won his first X Games Gold, Pastrana donned a life vest under his riding gear and proceeded to launch himself (and his Suzuki RM125 motorcycle) off a four-foot high berm into San Francisco Bay much to the delight of the fans in attendance. Needless to say, the city of San Francisco (and EPA) were not as impressed, and Pastrana's leap into the bay is something that's not talked about much to this day.
As the Tucker crew arrived at Pier 32 on Saturday morning, for final set-up, it was apparent from the laid-back vibe that we were in for an epic day. With our Tucker tents placed in ideal locations near the hooligan track, gymkhana course, concert stage, and art show areas, we were ready to entertain some of our bay area dealers and treat them to a VIP fun-filled Saturday afternoon in the city.
Practice for the hooligan racers kicked off the program at 11:00am. If you've never been to one of these races we suggest you go if one comes to your area. The sound of these bikes alone is something else! Probably like the first time you hear a MotoGP bike or a Formula One car—startlingly impressive. The roar of the twin-cylinder engines combined with the smell of burnt rubber is infectious, and we laughed out loud like little kids as the raw, guttural sound reverberated through our chest like a bass drum.
Although hooligan racing has been around since the 70s, "run what ya' brung" racing has really taken off in the last few of years, and as a result, a national championship series was created. With events scattered throughout the western half of the country, the 2018 Super Hooligan National Championship Series (SHNC) is comprised of nine races. With a limited set of rules, racers must show up on a 750cc or larger street bike, from any manufacturer, and the rules focus on minimal fabrication to keep costs low. For example, a stock production frame must be used, and no geometry changes are allowed unless they are not bolt-on.
The result is an accessible form of racing with a more level playing field and closer racing. In addition to the premiere Super Hooligan, other less-serious classes include Run What Ya' Brung, Air-cooled 2-Stroke, Mad Monkey Mini (150cc or under), SuperMoto, and even a small-bore XR class. Part of the allure of hooligan racing is that the bikes the riders race are typically not meant for the racetrack. Instead of exotic and expensive factory race bikes, these are everyday motorcycles—which only adds to the grassroots street-cred appeal of hooligan racing.
As the racers burned in the hooligan track, at the same time over on the gymkhana course, the finals of the fifth annual San Francisco International Police Motor Skills competition were going on. The competition started on Thursday with Semi-finals on Friday and the finals Saturday. Think these policemen just sip coffee and eat donuts all day? Think again! These guys can ride! Seeing the bike handling skills of these policemen possess was impressive—especially the ones riding police-issue baggers.
A stroll around the venue around noon revealed the other Moto bay activities going on such as the "Kidkhana" electric strider bike demos for kids, the "Architects of Inspiration" art and bike show sponsored by Husqvarna (with content provided by META), and bike demos by several of the OEMs. Vendors were scattered about selling their wares, and Tucker distributed brands Roland Sands, Arlen Ness, Vance and Hines, Performance Machine, Burly Brand, Progressive, and Dunlop were all in attendance to display product and interact with the fellow motorcyclists in attendance. Around this same time, the local punk band The Nerv kicked off the music line-up, followed by fellow bay area bands Lujuria and the Screaming Bloody Marys.
One of our favorite events of the day took place around 2pm, the Cops vs. Hooligans Gymkana Showdown. The irony of these two groups coming together didn't go unnoticed, and despite the requisite smack talk between the two groups, the competition was a show of mutual respect and camaraderie between brothers from the same motorcycle tribe. In true 'run what ya' brung' fashion, riders from both teams took to the course on scooters, dual sport machines, Groms, hooligan bikes and police baggers in an all-out timed battle of bike handling skills. The cops held their own against the hooligans, fun was had by all, and Tyler O'Hara recorded the fastest time by 0.08 seconds to give the win to the Hooligans. Look for the cops to return next year with a vengeance (and for redemption) at the second annual Cops vs. Hooligans Gymkana Showdown.
The main show kicked off at 3pm with the national anthem followed by a fireboat water cannon display put on by the San Francisco Fire Department. Hooligan racing commenced and Long Beach punk rockers T.S.O.L. hit the main stage for their set between the heat races and finals. Andy DiBrino took a close-fought win in the Super Hooligan final with Robert Bush and Mikey Hill rounding out the podium. A crowd-pleasing display of tire-shredding burnouts followed the finish and the air filled with smoke while shards of flying rubber peppered fans lining the race course. It was awesome!
The show wasn't over yet, and with the crowd pumped up after the Super Hooligan main event, The Vandals hit the stage for some Orange County punk rock before the stunt riders took to the hooligan course for an entertaining display of wheelies, powerslides, burnouts, and impressive demonstration of bike handling skills. Sands joined in on the fun with his custom-built "Squatch" Polaris Sportsman ATV retrofitted with a Toyota Tacoma front end and old couch welded to the back. Sands cranked off wheelie after wheelie around the hooligan course with two passengers onboard surrounded by the stunt riders. The Sands wheelie show shenanigans ended with an unsuccessful attempt to smoke the tires off The Squatch.
But wait, there's more! The remaining crowd headed to the main stage for a brief awards ceremony before the Eagles of Death Metal brought down the house with an energetic and engaging set. Lead singer Jesse Hughes is a character on stage and the epitome of a rock-and-roll entertainer. He's also a fellow motorcyclist and a friend of Roland Sands. To see Hughes and his EODM bandmates enjoy the company of fellow motorcyclists, in such an intimate setting, was a rare treat. As they tore through their set and closed out the day's show, it seemed like the fitting end to a unique event.
With its mix of motorcycles, music, and art in a laid-back festival setting, the Moto Bay Classic had all the right ingredients for a perfect day of fun. As the event's description states, "the RSD Moto Bay Classic promises something for everyone. With a constant flow of activities and participation from attendees, you're not just watching the show, you're a part of it." Based upon our personal experience, and the fun we observed, we'd say the RSD crew hit the mark.

Jonathan Trappe Flies in House with Helium Balloons, Replicating Disney Film 'Up'
Balloonist Jonathan Trappe recently launched a house into the sky, powered by balloons, just like the character Carl Frederickson in the Disney movie 'Up.'
Trappe flew above the Leon International Balloon festival in Mexico yesterday in his cartoon-inspired home, reports the Daily Mail.
The trip was a warm-up for Trappe's planned flight across the Atlantic scheduled for next summer. He plans to make the 2,500 mile trip across the ocean in a seven-foot lifeboat carried by 365 huge helium balloons. The trip will cost $170,000.
The custom-made lifeboat will cruise between 18,000 feet and 25,000 feet, which would beat Trappe's previous world altitude record of 21,600 feet.
Trappe said of his profession: "I didn't wake up one day and think, 'I'm going to fly across the Atlantic.' Every attempt before this was geared towards this flight. I've been training for a long time. It's about living an interesting life, for me as the pilot and those watching. So, one day we can look back and say: 'Humankind were able to pull this off. They did it.'"

"The proposal was turned down by the Ministry of Finance (MoF)," he said.
François Bassil, former chairman of the Association of Banks and current Group Chairman of Byblos Bank, denied that such an offer was made to the State.
The current tax on the interest earned from bank deposits is five percent. It is paid by account holders, and not by banks. The proposed increase to seven percent will not be deductible from the tax imposed on banks' profits.
The attempt to increase public sector salaries in 2014 had been aborted by opposition to tax on interest, according to Khalil.
"Contesting the imposition of new taxes on banks and real estate and financial companies would thwart again the planned salary hike," he said.
The additional tax revenues from banks, real estate, and financial companies would reach nearly LL1,000 billion liras ($664 million), covering most of the proposed public sector salary increase, he said.

text: Caroline 21 Posted September 10, 2018 Good news, everyone! Here comes the new version of the Crying Suns' Beta 2.0 and its changelog (compared to the Beta 1.0) Gameplay Complete rethink of the game fight difficulty progression thanks to the community feedbacks. The raise in difficulty should be smoother than in the Beta 1.0 ! Added a new battleground event: "Meteor" Shower (temporary name) Added 3 new hero abilities : Proximity defense, Proximity Unit repair, XO (Executive officer) Changed the fleeing (breaking out of a skirmish) behavior of squadrons => Cannot be stopped while fleeing just after breaking out Removed upgrades that were supposed to raise the cap on fuel and commando, for now there is no such limit When "undeploying" (squadron returning to the battleship) they should now try to take a safer path (= not going through asteroid fields) The expedition shuttle upgrade is now working properly, only taking more commandos if possible without changing the default requirement. The refuel upgrade is now a bit more effective and the additional fuel won is displayed separatly from the initial outcome Graphics and sound Added generic male heroes Added contextual sounds during some random events Adapted the squadron hover panel display to be able to see the "level" (Mk 1, 2 etc…) of the unit BugFix Major Fixed a bug where the game froze during an expedition Fixed a bug where you could move squadron to itself to gain infinite action points Fixed a bug where it was possible to shoot twice for the price of one shot Fixed a bug where the expedition requirements where not updated if you gained/lost some in an event in the same location Fixed a bug where the ennemy battleship wasn't visible BugFix Minor Fixed a bug where the pattern display of a weapon in its hover panel was wrong Fixed a bug in an event with 2 consecutive Kosh-Buendia fight, the second one had the wrong display Fixed some bugs where the wrong ennemy battleships were displayed Fixed a bug where the the cruiser patter display was not disappearing after selecting a destination Fixed a bug where the name of a hero displayed in a reward panel was different from the real one If you have questions or feedbacks about this changelog, please post on the related topic on the "Discussion and feedbacks" section.

The First Lady of Kenya Ms Margaret Kenyatta accompanied by the Governor of Mandera County Mr Ali Roba & UNFPA's Executive Director Dr Babatunde Osotimehin at the Beyond Zero event in Mandera. 06 Nov 2015. Mandera/PC: @undpkenya
This article has been co-authored with Ms. Ruth Kagia.
Mandera in north-eastern Kenya, has often been described as "the worst place on earth to give birth." Mandera's maternal mortality ratio stands at 3,795 deaths per 100,000 live births, almost double that of wartime Sierra Leone at 2,000 deaths per 100,000 live births.
But Mandera also demonstrates what can be achieved with strong political leadership and strategic partnerships. Just under a year ago, on Dec. 2 2014, we were part of a team from the United Nations, World Bank, charities and the Office of the President of Kenya that undertook the two-hour flight to Mandera, to determine what could be done to address this critical development bottleneck.
Minutes before take-off, news came through that 36 Kenyans had been brutally murdered in Mandera by the Somali militant group al Shabaab.
No official briefing could have better highlighted the challenges of the task ahead. Rather than acting as a deterrent, it strengthened our resolve and we continued with our journey.
Marginalization combined with internecine conflicts, pockets of extremism, poor human development and cross border terrorism have trapped so many of Mandera's people in poverty and misery. In addition, women and girls are subjected to cultural practices such as Female Genital Mutilation and child marriage which contribute to high school dropouts and complicate delivery.
The government has been focused in its resolve to change the narrative in Mandera and in other historically disadvantaged parts of Kenya. The introduction of free maternity services, for example, has increased the number of Kenyan women giving birth under skilled care from about 40 to 60 percent since 2013.
Together with the government, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Kenya mobilised private sector partners to develop innovative strategies to improve maternal and child health, especially in the six counties with the highest maternal and child health burden: Lamu, Isiolo, Wajir, Mandera, Marsabit and Migori.
On Oct. 13, we launched a Community Life Center in Mandera with the technology company Philips. The center will be equipped with solar lighting, fridges, lab and diagnostic equipment, will provide better healthcare services for about 25,000 people.
UNFPA's Executive Director Dr Babatunde Osotimehin gave a very clear message that UNFPA must help the hard to reach and the most vulnerable. With this resolve, UNFPA together with the World Bank, United Nations Children's Fund and the World Health Organization, supported by the Ministry of Health, mobilized US$15 million to improve maternal, child and adolescent health services in the six counties in March 2015.
These efforts were given a major boost on November 6th 2015, when Kenya's First Lady H.E. Margaret Kenyatta handed over a fully-kitted mobile clinic to Mandera. The First Lady launched the Beyond Zero campaign in 2014 to reduce maternal and child mortality in Kenya.
Dr. Osotimehin specifically flew in from New York for the event, and was joined by the ambassadors of the European Union, Denmark, Sweden and Finland to Kenya.
The First Lady said: "For too long, the prospect of childbirth in Kenya, to thousands of women, has been tantamount to a death sentence. No one should die giving life."
Dr Osotimehin said: ''When we invest in strengthening the health system from the community to the facility, when we invest in strong referral systems and complementary basic services, we save women's lives but we also underwrite our future as humanity."
Maternal health is a perfect illustration of the fact that the process of development is multi-dimensional. Poor maternal health affects women, their children and their communities. It affects nutrition, human development, population dynamics and it undermines the quality of the labour force.
When you improve maternal health, you create healthy families, strong communities and strong economies.
Like the tentative steps of an infant beginning to walk, these may seem modest achievements in the face of the significant challenges in these remote counties. The counties require structural changes which can lead women out of poverty, eliminate gender inequalities and build stronger health systems.
The partners' grit and the commitment demonstrated by the government together with leaders like the First Lady and Mandera County Governor Ali Roba give reason for optimism that these challenges can be overcome.
Improving maternal health is not only achievable, it is a goal worth reaching.

Montreal Possibly Back In Expansion Mix?
- Posted by Drew Epperley
- On February 18, 2009
- 4 Comments
- Expansion Hopefuls, MLS Expansion, Montreal Expansion
You all know I love a good expansion rumor. This one was just too good not to discuss even though I have a feeling most of it is not nearly as true as it sounds to be.
The always interesting Major League Soccer Talk discussed a rumor that Montreal may be back in the expansion race after all.
A source confirmed to me Monday, that Montreal�s ownership group has not ruled out an eventual move to MLS, but that the requirements to submit an expansion bid to the league must be changed. The big question will be this: after the Impact put on a show next week and draw the type of crowd current MLS clubs can only dream about for a CONCACAF match, will MLS and Montreal come to some agreement? �Could this also be the mysterious cause of the delay in revealing the expansion winner for 2011?
Currently the club is set to host a CONCACAF Champions League game in the coming weeks and are already selling a lot of tickets for it. How many? Almost a good 50,000. That's definitely a number that would get MLS front office heads thinking about their expansion fee again.
While I hope this rumor is true I just have a feeling it won't be the case. More than likely Montreal will be in the mix for the 2013 or 2014 round of expansion and will more than likely be granted a club. But for the 2011 round of expansion I just don't see this group getting back in based solely on ticket sales for a CCL game there. Its a good thought but a lot would have to happen for Montreal to be considered back in the fold by MLS.
I'd love to see it happen but its something we will just have to wait for down the road here.

Where is Kirk Wong ? One of the great filmmakers of Hong Kong, with films such as GUNMEN or CRIME STORY, the latter being a superb early specimen of a "serious Jackie Chan" movie, Wong followed Tsui Hark, Ringo Lam and John Woo in their temporary migration to Hollywood, directing the Mark Wahlberg-starrer THE BIG HIT in 1998. After that his last film was the 2000 TV movie THE DISCIPLES, starring Ice-T, and he didn't even sign it with his name, preferring the usual "Alan Smithee" credit of shame.
So now, 14 years later, and without the least new addition to his filmography whether it be as director, producer or writer, one can only wonder what he's been up to all that time. Retirement perhaps ? It seems not, as all evidence points to him having kept really busy throughout the decade. Here is a rundown of the project he was attached to, either officially or by rumor :
– IRON FIST : in 2001, Kirk Wong was signed to direct Artisan Pictures' adaptation of the Marvel Comics Iron Fist. Scripted by John Turman (who wrote Ang Lee's Hulk as well as Fantastic Four : Rise of the Silver Surfer), and starring martial artist Ray Park (aka Darth Maul in Star Wars and Snakes Eyes in G.I. Joe), the film was to begin production in early 2002. But due to scheduling conflicts, Wong had to drop out and was replaced by Steve Carr. The film has since been stuck in development hell.
– WE CAN BE HEROES : little is known on this project, other than that it would have been an action film set in Mexico, and produced by Fortune Star Entertainment, as announced in 2003.
– BLOOD BOND : also to be produced by Fortune Star Entertainment, this film was to be an action-horror film featuring a battle between eastern and western vampires. Written by Wong himself, Erik Martinez and Rod Sokal, the last news of it date back to 2006.
– FIVE DEADLY VENOMS : a remake of the 1978 Chang Cheh classic of the same title about a gang of assassins who kill with the venoms of various animals. Superstar Andy Lau was to produce the film, which Kirk Wong would write and direct. In 2007, a cast was assembled : Jay Chou, Maggie Q, Huang Xiaoming, Gordon Liu, Edison Chen and Jacky Wu Jing. While later Andy Lau seems to have dropped out of producing it, the film is seemingly still in preparation, though probably with another cast : Maggie Q now has her own TV series in the US (CW's Nikita), Gordon Liu has been having health problems, and Edison Chen was discgraced following a sextape scandal. In fact, in 2009 Hong Kong cinema expert Bey Logan wrote in his blog that Wong was trying to get Donnie Yen to star in the film, though Yen must've declined the offer, as his schedule since then and in the next months doesn't include Five Deadly Venoms.
– SIX : this US-China co-production was supposed to start shooting in November 2012 and its screenplay, penned by Li Feng, Erik Martinez and Doug Brode, was to tell of "a rogue scientist who has created five human-animal mutants, which are in conflict with Six, another hybrid that is threatening to destroy them".
Kirk Wong did make a cameo in Donnie Yen's recent KUNG FU JUNGLE, which might lead to believe he still has a foot in the industry. But for now, 15 years is too long a hiatus for such a talented director to take, and let's hope we won't have to wait too long for him to make his comeback.

There are applications to begin drilling for shale gas in Llandow - just up the road from here. The company say it's quite safe, gets energy and lots of jobs.
However the fracking drilling has been stopped near Blackpool because of earthquakes, it is banned in lots of other countries, and there is water contamination in the USA. The planning application has been deferred pending a site visit according to the news.
Good thing too.
Nic is doing a test run to see if the donkey will go easily into the horse box. It is one thing to manhandle her into the horsebox while at the farm, but not something that you can do with lots of small children watching. If she doesn't box easily, she may not get to join the library.

Historically, the intersection of Robie Street and Quinpool Road has been known as the Willow Tree, due to the landmark in the median: Several years ago, a second willow tree was planted, in the hope that it would fill the shoes of its ancestor. Alas, in 2014 a local bystander reported on the sudden demise of willow tree 2.
Willow tree 3 was planted in November 2015. Did it survive vehicles, snowplows, road salt, and drought? Unfortunately, no.

MarineMTS Strikes Equity Deal with SRH Marine Electronics
Stonehaven-based marine technology company MarineMTS has struck an equity funding deal with SRH Marine SAIT (trading as SRH Marine Electronics). The deal will see the North-east business benefit from a multimillion dollar funding package, and through SRH Marine's existing customer base, unlock access to approximately 15,000 vessels which could benefit from MarineMTS' latest 'Silverbox' technology. The resultant trade could net the business in the region of $16 million in licensing revenue over the next three years.
Athens-based SRH Marine Electronics will control 40 percent of the shareholding in MarineMTS through a parent company, SRH MarineMTS, and will work with MarineMTS to help it to grow its international presence and principally to expand global sales of its Silverbox technology.
The initial investment will be used to expand the business in Scotland, with plans for new offices in Aberdeen and the establishment of a new control centre in the central belt. Further afield, MarineMTS also plans to launch a new international hub in Houston.
Wynne Edwards, Managing Director of MarineMTS commented, "This deal takes MarineMTS to a completely new level, opening up access to a new customer base through the partnership with SHR Marine Electronics with its established reputation and customers all over the world. More importantly, our business will benefit significantly from their vast trading experience in the global marine sector, while at the same time being able to retain and grow our operational home in Scotland."
SRH Marine Electronics is a well-established company in the maritime market offering full service sales, technical support and training for navigation, radio communication, automation, spares, retrofit, repairs, safety and other marine equipment. Supported by a global network of well-known manufacturers and service suppliers and authorized by all major classifications of vessel, the business will use Silverbox technology to augment its navigation offering to global customers.
Announcing the deal, John Laderos, CEO of SRH Marine SAIT said, "By investing in MarineMTS, we strengthen our commitment to investing in innovative solutions and our statement to "navigate the future" by our customers' side. We aim to be ahead of the game by monitoring the constantly evolving technology and anticipating our customers' needs so that we can provide vital support, exceeding customer expectations.

Right as we drove up, before I could even park the truck, Martye was jumping out! She raced in and placed the quilt down on our bed. When I came in the quilt looked awesome to say the least! We enjoyed studying it more and looking at all of the details. We truly will cherish this quilt for forever. Here is the quilt in it's new home!

It was a beautiful experience watching MONSIEUR LAZHAR, a sensitive film, full of insight and compassion ...Naomi Rossdeutscher
MONSIEUR LAZHAR, set in Montreal, is a perceptive and humorous film about a concerned Algerian immigrant, Bachir Lazhar, who steps in to teach a class of young school children struggling with a recent tragedy in their classroom. The humble Lazhar manages to inspire the children, while experiencing cultural differences and his own private grief and uncertainty.
This beautiful film lead by Mohamed Fellag's subtle performance, is a crowd pleaser that left me feeling warm and fuzzy inside, as well as informed, & lingered in my thoughts long after viewing.

BossLady and SuperJerm in Austria
Our dear BossLady aka Louisa is not with us this week. No, she is not sick. Neither is she busy killing herself in some endurance race. She went skiing in Austria, can you believe it! And here we sit, ol' Kerry and myself, giving it our all. We answer the phones and pretend that we are the account department, the advertising department and the "no, we do not sell wedding cupcakes"-department. Let the good times roll.
We hope the two of you have a (snow)ball over there! We miss the way only you can strut them Zumba moves all the way to the printer and back!
I think in pictures so I couldn't help trying to imagine where they're at and what it looks like. Take the journey with me:
This is St. Anton in Austria. They might be here.
Or not.
This is some dude starting off on a fairly decent
slope, nothing too extreme. May even be our
Jeremy. Arent you supposed to wear a helmet
or something??
This is probably Jeremy – what he wouldn't do
for a good shot.
Watch this space for an update. Can't wait to see the real pics!

Braided ponytail hairstyles are a catwalk favourite every season and they're just as great in real life, too. Want to know how to DIY? Then step this way…
What you'll need
Ah, the braided ponytail, how we love thee! Spotted on the catwalks of many a fashion week and on the heads of A-list stars, this funky style has gained quite the cult following as of late. And it's reputation is well deserved in our eyes, because not only is this look uber stylish, it's also a practical and life-proof style, too!
Oh, and do you want to hear the best part? Even braiding newbies will be able to get on board with these woven ponytail hairstyles, as they're totally foolproof. Don't believe us? Click on the video above to see a quick and easy video tutorial, or reading on to discover our in-depth guide and styling tips. Enjoy!
Brush your hair.
Apply dry shampoo.
Tie your hair into a ponytail.
Then take a small section of hair from the bottom of your ponytail and wrap it around the base of your ponytail, to conceal the hair tie. Set in place using bobby pins.
Braid your ponytail.
Now cross the left section over the middle section, then cross the right section over the middle section. Continue to weave all the way to the end of your hair and secure with a clear hair elastic.
Pancake your braid.
Use hairspray.
Final look.
If high ponytails aren't your style or you're looking for a more low-key way to rock a braided ponytail, why not try a low ponytail version instead? Just as stylish but less in-your-face, it's a perfect way to tame your strands for work or uni.
So, now you know all about these great braided ponytail hairstyles, the only thing left to do is check out our Braids page, for even more incredible ways to weave your tresses. See you next time!

Look at yourself
Narrow of mind, shallow of breath
So far removed from the plight
So far removed from the death of your kin, down-trodden and ill
Oh so high as you stood, how heavy you fell
As so many will fall for the bait
Compassion too little, too late
For some small peace of mind
How can you walk on the bones of your brothers' broken homes
Knowing how karma's cold hand grips at your throat?
I've been trapped beneath the soil and the dirt
Do I close my eyes? Do I close my eyes?
Lying still beneath the burden and the hurt
Am I dead inside? Did I make it right?
Left in the dark, in blackest oblivion
Only forced me to learn that light comes from within
And only fades where fear prevails
Where is your heart?
Does it grow weaker each time you think of those you scorned from afar?
Their voices rise from the wreck to call you by name
The blood that tarnished the brush will mark us the same
What have we done?
What have we done?
Can you fight this, can you fight this alone and abandoned?
Look where we've landed and know
This must all have a consequence
Nothing, nothing will make sense again
You'll never rest peacefully
You'll never rest peacefully
You'll never rest peacefully
You cowards, you cowards, you left them for dead
Left them out in the cold, they said
You liars, backstabbers, sold out your own kind
I can't turn a blind eye, can't rewind

Hi there gorgeous readers! Last year I couldn't go to Book Expo America (BEA) since it moved to Chicago so I'm really looking forward to BEA in NYC city this year. My friend Jachy has come with me to every BEA – this will be our 5th time – and we will be repeating the drive together. I'm in planning mode for schedules, bags, snacks, shoes, outfits. It's such an amazing experience and can't wait for the next couple of weeks to go by 🙂
Books I'm Looking Forward To
What Else I'm Looking Forward To
Jachy bought tickets for us (THANKS!) to see Wicked and I'm SO excited about this. I cannot wait to go to Broadway and see this musical.
It's a tradition for us to buy delicious, gorgeous, delicate macaroons. Some make it back to our families 🙂
Amazing books, seeing friends, bloggers and publishers, good food, Strand bookstore.
If you know of any special treats, restaurants or places we should do, let me know!
Here are some previous BEA posts that might be helpful to you.
What I Did Right at My First BEA
What I Wish I'd Done Differently at BEA (AKA: My BEA Mistakes)
Are you going to BEA?
If you are, this is what I look like:
Come say hi and ask me for a bookmark since I always bring a few with me.
Have you been to BEA? Are you planning to? Do you have any questions for me? Are you also waiting for some of these books?
Born in Puerto Rico, hola :), military wife for 22-years, and mother of three boys.I work full time doing something else that I love (sadly I don't get paid for reading!)
