Hawks football team falls to North Miami Beach in Kickoff Classic, opener against Hialeah Thursday
Coming off a historic season a year ago that saw them make the state playoffs for the first time in 18 years, one might think that the bar would be set even higher and expectations even more exciting for the Miami Springs Golden Hawks football team.
But, as the 2014 season sits on the horizon with their regular season opener against Hialeah set for this Thursday night, Aug. 28 at 7 p.m. at Milander Stadium, a game Springs would dearly love to avenge after last year's 32-0 loss, things aren't nearly as rosy as one might think.
Head coach Darryel Bethune has had to deal with not only major losses to his roster from graduating seniors, but losing his top three players, Shawn Lee, Malik Adelson and Michael Lowe who transferred out to the usual suspects, Central and Northwestern.
"We lost some really key players, in Malik, Shawn and Michael, especially Malik as he was going to be the central focus of our team," said Bethune. "Yes, it's very frustrating where you bring kids along, develop them and then they leave – actually not leave but simply be taken by other schools that see the talent that we develop. But it's all okay, I've got a good staff and we'll try and find a way to get it done."
And "trying to find a way" began last week when the Hawks hosted North Miami Beach in a Kickoff Classic at Springs High School.
After jumping out to a 6-0 second quarter lead, Springs struggled terribly on offense the rest of the afternoon and ultimately the defense, which actually played pretty well and hung tough having been out on the field for long periods of time in searing afternoon temperatures, gave up a pair of touchdowns as NMB prevailed by a 14-6 final.
How rough was it on offense? Try 46 total yards for the game. Worse, 52 yards came on a late-game bomb from quarterback Gerald Anderson to Jahwon Grant which means, doing simple math, minus 6 yards of offense other than that play.
"Offensively it was obviously a real struggle today and to be honest, we missed Gerald's (Anderson's) best target, Johnny Rembert," said Bethune referring to Springs' top receiver and kick and punt returner from last season. "We had some paperwork issues with him that we had to work out but he'll be ready for Hialeah on Thursday."
What had Bethune pulling whatever hair sits on top of his head out was the bushel full of penalties his team wracked up. The final tally was 15 for 105 yards but that didn't include the five or six that NMB declined.
"No doubt that was probably the difference in the game," said Bethune. "Unacceptable and that will have to get cleaned up quickly. That's why we like to play this one preseason game so you can see your kids in live game action and work to get things corrected."
The defensive coaches will need to work double-time with their defensive line, especially senior defensive end Isrick McDonald.
Nine of the 15 penalties were off sides from a defensive line that obviously struggled with NMB's cadence and McDonald, who came over from defending 2A state champion Hialeah Champagnat, was responsible for five of those.
"He's a stud, a great player but obviously he was extremely anxious to make plays today and a little out of control," said Bethune. "He'll be okay, we'll work with him and get things under control and really looking forward to him playing a big role for us defensively this season."
No kidding. At 6-4, 220 pounds, McDonald looks like he's chiseled out of granite and is already fending off inquiries from extremely interested college scouts.
And for everything that went wrong for Springs on this day and as awful as it was on offense, the Hawks easily could've emerged a 6-0 winner as both NMB touchdowns, one just before halftime and the second late in the third quarter, came gift-wrapped by the Hawks defense.
First came a fourth down defensive stop by the Hawks three minutes before halftime after NMB had driven inside their 10.
But a crucial mistake by linebacker Isiah McDonald, yes Isrick's younger brother who by the way is only a freshman and checks in at an eyepopping 6-5, 215 lbs., occurred when he roughed NMB quarterback Cedric Wiggins, giving the Chargers a new set of downs at the four where they eventually scored to tie the game at six.
When NMB, thanks to a Springs turnover and subsequent short field, drove inside the Springs 10, linebacker Richard Gainous had a "gift" interception off a tipped pass go right through his hands. On the very next play, a fourth-and-goal from the nine, Wiggins rolled out to his right and, with Isrick McDonald a half-second from clobbering him from behind, just got rid of the ball and found Fritz Merus in the back of the end zone for what turned out to be the winning score.
"Yeah, I guess when you look at it, if we make those couple of plays, as bad as it was, we still might've won this game today," said Bethune. "Today was a measuring stick and we were reminded that we're a pretty young team at a lot of positions and a lot of first year players out there, especially on the offensive line where we struggled the most. The one thing I learned that I liked is that I think we've got a little toughness. I was pretty pleased and proud of the defense. They were on the field for a long time and it was really hot out there and I thought they held up real well and kept us in the game for as long as they could."

Happy Friday Lovelies!
I hope you've all had a great week and that you've gotten all your Christmas shopping done! I've had family and friends calling and texting me for the past 2 weeks asking me what they can get The Twincesses for Christmas, so I thought I'd share with everyone what's popular with the little girl crowd this year just in case you still have some shopping to do!
The items on this list range from around $10 to $100 and the majority of these items can be found at any toy store (Walmart, Toys R Us, Target…etc) or can be ordered on Amazon, and prices may vary by store so I won't bother listing all that info!
1) Moana Doll (or anything Moana related, really)
The movie is super popular right now so most little girls want a Moana doll or figurine of some sort! We bought the Twincesses a doll, barbie and a large Maui talking plush because they said they love Maui and want to marry him, so I had to go buy him too!
2) Elena of Avalor Dress up costume
This Disney show is super popular with girls 3-10 years old. Peyton has literally worn her dress EVERY SINGLE DAY, (for most of the day) since we gave it to her for her birthday in October. Aubrey has yet to wear it because Peyton is so obsessed with it that she refuses to share. Thank goodness Baba got a second one for Christmas! There are also dolls and barbies as well, which will be under our Christmas tree this year too!
3) PJ Masks
Another popular show that every kid I know loves, but up until a few weeks ago you couldn't find a single toy (at least not in Canada). Less than a month ago Toys R Us FINALLY got toys! It's the only store I know of that carries PJ Mask toys, and I've checked everywhere in my city over the past 3 months. We bought The Twincesses the 3 main characters dress up costumes, and figurines, but I plan on buying them this super cool "Super Hero Headquarters" play set too once it's back in stock, it's been sold out basically since it first arrived.
4) Little Kitchen
When I was a kid my favorite toy of all was my little kitchen, and The Twincesses are no different. They love to pretend to cook food for hubby and I, and I love that they are using their imaginations. We bought this kitchen and restaurant combo this past summer and they still enjoy it!
5) Pretend Makeup
Whenever I'm doing my makeup my lil divas want to touch and try all of it on themselves. I had been searching for quite a while to try and find play makeup that didn't actually transfer any color or residue onto their skin and was unsuccessful, until I found Little Cosmetics who were so sweet to send over two gift sets for my lil ladies! Their pretend makeup sets are so freakin' adorable! They look and feel like real makeup too, but there is ZERO mess with all the fun! The Twincesses can sit and pretend to do their makeup for hours!
6) Go! Go! Smart Friends Enchanted Princess Palace by VTech
This magical palace is not only wicked cute, but it's huge! It's over four feet wide when fully expanded and has so many different rooms where the little dolls can talk and sing. There are also teaching buttons that introduce letters, words and colors!
7) Electric Quad
The Twincesses have so much fun going up and down the street on their quads, and they look so cute and bad@SS doing it! The quads are good up to 20kg and it comes with a charger for the 6V battery which is included.
8) Disney Movies
Little girls love Disney movies! This is such an easy and great gift to give to the girl who has every toy imaginable. I always appreciate when the girls get Disney movies because I love watching them, and unlike certain TV shows I don't find them super annoying.
9) Kid Tablet
I am not one of those parents who will buy their child an Ipad. I think that's totally insane. I do however think that tablets are great for teaching young kids, and the perfect distraction device for kids while waiting at doctors offices, or to enjoy when travelling. We have Innotab ones and the girls play on them regularly! Hubby also figured out how to hack and load tv shows onto them for the girls to watch when we are on the airplane.
10) Art Stuff
Every kid likes to color and paint, so anything art related is always a great gift. It encourages creativity and they're always so proud of whatever they create! I really like art easels for multiple kids because it doesn't take up a ton of space and 2 kids can create art at the same time.
That's my list! Happy shopping friends! If you have any other cool gift ideas for little girls be sure to let me know in the comments!

This time Mr Wiesiek visits a Chinese lakeside village.
This MOC was supposed to be much smaller, but the temptation to build more and more was irresistible. The houses are much smaller than they should be anyway - lacking the traditional courtyards.
In WIP stage, it was displayed at our LUG's stand in Wieliczka. It was even more WIP, taking into account that I forgot to take the plants with me... But finally here it is.

The Canterbury DHB's performance in Quarter 2 of the 2016/2017 National Health Targets has remained strong despite several challenging disruptions.
David Meates, Canterbury DHB chief executive, says the Civil Defence Emergency declared as a result of the North Canterbury earthquakes and the Resident Doctors' Association's strikes during Quarter 2 caused significant additional work and distractions for our health system.
"Despite our health system facing troubling circumstances yet again, our staff have done an incredibly remarkable job to ensure services continue to be provided," Mr Meates says.
The Canterbury DHB was back on track in Quarter 2, meeting the Shorter Stay in the Emergency Department (ED) 95 percent target.
Mr Meates says initiatives to support target performance have included the implementation of strategies to manage demand in the community and improve flow in ED and the hospital.
"This is impressive, especially considering our ED is one of the busiest trauma centres in the country."
Mr Meates says the supports in place in the community, such as the Acute Demand Management Service, have meant more than 33,000 people in Canterbury have been provided care in the community over the last year, rather than being admitted into hospital.
"Our 'Care Around the Clock' campaign has also played a part in ensuring people don't default to ED when they should be seen by their own GP team. The campaign has been promoted significantly during Quarter 2, reminding people to make their general practice their first call."
For the sixth quarter in a row, Canterbury has achieved the immunisation target, vaccinating 95 percent of eligible children.
"We had strong coverage rates across all population groups meeting the health target for all this quarter," Mr Meates says.
The rates were Asian 97 percent, Pacific 96 percent, New Zealand European 95 percent and Māori 95 percent.
"This is a significant achievement, showing the results of the ongoing commitment from immunisation teams in primary care right across our system."
Canterbury's performance against the Faster Cancer Treatment target in Quarter 2,saw 84.8 percent of patients received their first cancer treatment (or other management) within 62 days of being referred with a high suspicion of cancer.
"Our teams are continuously working to improve the capture and quality of the Fast Cancer Treatment data, and reviewing patient pathways to improve timeliness," Mr Meates says.
See how Canterbury DHB performed in Quarter 2 of the National Health Targets here.

I've been wanting to add a couple of subtle-ish stickers to my black sunstrip and wondered if there was any chance of getting some Tezzaworld ones on to also promote the club at the same time?
Presuming that normal ones aren't still produced but fancy something a bit more involved anyway. Was thinking about this when the old forum page was around and ideally I'm after combining a couple of images maybe?
In an ideal world Id have the top half of this one (without the car):
and then the dragon and car outline of this one either under it or along side it:
I'm rubbish with photoshop so I cant do it but basically cos I would want it to show up on the black background of my sunstrip, it would have the red top bit with the "Tezzaworld.com" bit with the white shadow type outline and then the dragon and car bit either in the same smoke/grey or in a white etc.
Does anyone have the original images or vectors or anything that we can use to get them made up please? Does anyone own the copyright
Also would anyone else be interested in these and so we could maybe get a group buy going to make stickers up and make them cheaper?
If not, would there be any objections with me taking the images and getting some made up if I can get hold of higher res originals?

A 28 year old banker, Olaoluwa Adejo has been arrested by the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Yaba, Lagos Mainland, for the murder of his wife identified as Maureen Adejo.
It was learnt that Olaoluwa tortured the 28 year old wife and a mother of three with machete and belt after which he forced a local insecticide down her throat.
According to reports, the couple's five year old son, Richard who witnessed the incident narrated how his father maltreated the deceased.
Richard told security operatives that: "My daddy said my mummy should get out of the house. My mummy said no. In the night, my daddy woke my mummy up and said, 'Mosquito is too much, let me go and buy otapiapia'. My daddy forced my mummy to drink it. She shook her head. She vomited.
"My daddy slapped my mummy. My mummy did not do anything to him. My daddy gave her one blow. My daddy kicked her. My daddy told her to get out of the house and carry her load. Small blood came out. My daddy slapped her, kicked her, machete her, blow her, and put otapiapia in her mouth and in the food."
Meanwhile the mother of the deceased, Mrs. Kate Jonathan told the Police about her assurances that her daughter was killed stressing that things between her daughter and her husband were not good prior to her death. She added that Maureen had moved out of their home five days before the incident.
"It was at the Police station I was told that Olaoluwa had reported the case and claimed that his wife committed suicide by consuming poisonous substance," Mrs. Jonathan said.
The suspect who had already deposited the body of his wife in the Gbagada General Hospital mortuary and had allegedly gone to obtain court documents to enable him to bury her was apprehended by the Police after he was asked to return to the station for a certain document. This was after his mother-in-law's had reported the case to the security operatives.
Presently, investigations are ongoing with the Police ordering the removal of the corpse from the Gbagada General Hospital mortuary to the morgue of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, Lagos Mainland.
While the mother of the deceased battles the custody of Maureen's three children, Richard, five; Henry, three; and Omowunmi, six months, be released to her, Olaoluwa has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Yaba. Lagos Mainland.
Speaking on the incident, SP Chike Oti, the State Police Public Relations Officer, confirmed that the matter is presently at the SCIID, Panti.

Yahoo MLB rankings disrespect the Cardinals
The latest edition of the Yahoo Major League Baseball power rankings have been released as the game's teams try to get up to full steam.
Without much explanation, the Cardinals are dealt a shockingly disrespectful assessment: 16th place.
That puts them third in the National League Central behind the eighth ranked Brewers and the 13th ranked Reds and ninth in the National League. Shocking.
I guess the rankings assembles feel that the loss of Albert Pujols and Tony La Russa will be too much for the Redbirds to deal with. But the Brewers lost Prince Fielder and Cincinnati's closer, Ryan Madson, couldn't make it out of spring training before his arm fell off. Meanwhile the Cardinals added the best player of all three teams, inking Carlos Beltran to play in the outfield and take up a significant portion of the slack in the batting order. Also, while Chris Carpenter's status remains up in the air, the Birds brought back one of the best five or six pitchers in the Senior Circuit, Adam Wainwright.
I guess it's good in some ways to be the underdog. But I don't get why the Cardinals are thought of so poorly. They've got better defense and a better bullpen than the edition of the team that won the freaking World Series last year and their offense remains formidable.
The only remark about the ranking of the Cardinals was that La Russa is now working in the MLB Commissioner's Office. Umm... OK?
At the top of the charts, five American League teams:
1) Tampa
2) Anaheim
3) New York
4) Texas
5) Detroit

Long time no talk, interwebs! You may notice I look a little different. That giant pumpkin I was carrying in my belly is now my little pumpkin out in the world! 🙂 She is 8 weeks old and will surely be featured in a forthcoming post, or like all of them. haha! But for now, let's talk about the Allegro (affil link), which I was lucky enough to test, and I'll tell you a little bit about my sewing journey along the way.
Here's a thing. Sewing is hard with a new baby. Life is hard with a new baby. No, that's not exactly true. It's not life that is hard, it's accomplishing anything that is hard. It's a successful day if I change out of my pajamas. If I manage to wash my hair, we might as well drop balloons and confetti from the ceiling. I realize I should have known this. I have had a baby before. In my defense, he just turned 8, and likely as some sort of biological protection to ensure that reproduction continues, a kind of memory wipe occurs as the years pass by after having a baby. You remember, but you also forget. The memory of the sleep deprivation, the inability to think of anything beyond the immediate need of a diaper change, a feeding, a baby who needs to be comforted, gets smoothed over. You look at pictures and tear up because of how stinking beautiful that baby was and wonder how the time went by so fast. So, here I am now, being acutely reminded of the sleep deprivation and inability to think, and trying to appreciate it all because I know this is the last time. And once my brain smooths this chaos over into something nostalgic, it will be gone forever because I will never experience it again.
Having these emotions, this revisitation of new parenthood, and a baby who is struggling
(tummy issues), made sewing harder than I expected. Suddenly, I couldn't wrap my head around simple things that I do all the time, like grading. My brain went "I'm supposed to go from one size to another, what is this madness?!?!?!" Thankfully, the Allegro pattern is kind to beginners and overly exhausted moms/graduate students/new business owners. And Tami (owner/designer of Love Notions) and Kelly (her assistant) were kind and wonderful (as usual), too. While I struggled, they were kind and understanding. And, in the end, even though I couldn't make my brain work, the pattern still went together beautifully. The instructions are clear and the tutorials that Tami so often includes in her patterns are so wonderful. Really, her patterns are like mini-fit classes. I love them so much. I can think of no higher praise for this pattern than to say that I was able to sew it up, and end up with a wearable result in my current new-baby-brain state.
Simply put, I love this skirt. I can't wait to make more. The pattern is intended for woven fabric, but the skirt can be done in woven or knit. Mine is done in french terry. I skipped the drawstring because, frankly, I kind of hate them. I also skipped the optional patch pockets because I didn't want to interrupt the pattern on the skirt and I didn't want to waste the fabric for that much pattern matching. But, speaking of pockets, let's talk about the front slash pockets. They are REAL pockets. None of that whimpy-I-can-fit-3-finger-tips-in-here-why-did-you-even-waste-the-time-to-sew-this-in pockets for the Allegro. Oh no! These pockets are deep and can easily and securely hold whatever you are toting around with you.
The fit of the skirt is great, even on my strangely shaped, kangaroo pouch belly, postpartum body. I like the skirt so darn much, I don't even hate the fact that you can see my hippo knees when I'm wearing it!
Bottom line: Run, do not walk, to get this pattern. You will use it and you will be happy you have it. It's a staple and the end result is lovely. Plus, with the Allegro you can shorts (in TWO lengths), cropped pants, a short skirt, AND a maxi. This purchase is a no-brainer to me. A++ pattern; a home run. So go get it here (affil link)! 😉
And, P.S., this is a sewing blog, so my business is not my focus, but I did pair the skirt with a LuLaRoe Perfect T, which I also love. If you love them and want to check out the ones we have in stock, come visit us at LuLaRoe Frank & Caroline Gaddy. We're fun people and we have a friendly, positive group. If you join us, say hello and let me know that you're a fellow sewist! 🙂

I heard something recently, but can't exactly remember where.
I heard, "Why am I dying to live, when I am living to die?" or it was something along those thoughts- lines. I am thinking that it might be nice to type up something philosophical-ish, which is going to be mostly based on my opinions. I kind of want to do it, but what for??
There are a few times when I do not take myself seriously, which is good for the mind, soul, and body. I know how serious life is, but then again, people take sh*t too seriously.
I had a revelation just now and I just don't want to worry that much anymore about things that are negative. Whatever will be, will be. What is out of our hands are things that we can't obviously handle given that we've already done everything that we can in our own humanly ways.
I'm just really really thankful and am super glad that this trip happened. I am genuinely happy that I got to travel again despite my reservations. I owe it to P for always pushing me to do the things I love. The moment I got in that plane, I promised myself that I will be back in the groove and I am slowly getting there.
Breathe. Stop.
The world isn't getting any younger. I'm not getting any younger so might as well roll with the punches. It actually seems to be working pretty good. What do you think is the point of dying to live? We only pass this way once, let's make the journey worthwhile.

Bad Santa is a fun party game that goes on throughout the evening and involves pranks.
You and all your guests will first have to agree that you are going to play this party game. In case someone doesn't want to play, it's a good idea to keep him or her out of it all together.
Start by secretly selecting a Bad Santa. Take a secret draw (or use some other way you think of) to determine who will be the Bad Santa. Now that you have your man you're ready to play...

"Is Stan─"
"Sshh!" he warned briskly, his gaze returning to hers. "Now isn't the time for conversation, angel."
Sarah pressed her lips. She didn't like being told to be quiet. She dropped her eyes before his steady gaze, beginning to feel self-conscious of their intimate situation. Clint was too sexy and in spite of his gruff ways, she was attracted to him. Sarah recalled the eagerness of her response when he'd had his fingers inside her. She was hungry for that particular feeling again but now was hardly the place or the time.
"You can get off me now," she spoke quietly, pushing against his shoulders. "They're going away."
Clint didn't budge. "They may have lowered someone to the ground to continue the search," he reasoned. "Be quiet."
Sarah listened to the sound of the chopper diminish as it moved further away and raised her eyes to the top of the trees above them where the sky was visible. And where Clint's gaze was focused. She couldn't help noticing how thick and muscular his arched neck was. The veins were evident beneath his whiskered jaw.
"You can still get off me," she insisted, wincing at the weakness in her tone. He glanced down at her. Their gazes met and held. Sarah tried to gauge what he was thinking. After an awkward moment of silence, Sarah looked away, but not before she acknowledged the flame of awareness in Clint's pupils. His body grew taut.
She caught her breath when his cock turned hard and demanding against her. With little between them, it was easy to determine Clint wasn't lacking there. And the knowledge turned Sarah hotter. It seemed the danger of being captured was over but another more primal danger threatened her.
She knew she was playing with fire but couldn't stop herself from acknowledging Clint's hard-on in the most obvious way. Parting her legs, she arched into the hard shaft, being rewarded when he sucked in his breath.
"You know if I was a smart man I'd roll off, start walking and not look back."
Sarah stiffened. Then why didn't he? When Clint didn't move right away, Sarah closed her eyes so she wouldn't have to look at him. His closeness was unnerving, catching her off guard when she realized how much she liked his weight against her. However, closing her eyes turned out to be a bigger mistake when all it did was enhance the charged atmosphere between them.
Her ears picked up the low drone of the helicopter as it was all but out of ear shot, but her senses were acutely aware of Clint. His breath was against her face, hot and intimate, his heart beating against her chest keeping rhythm with another more vital part of his body. When he began to grind his aroused cock against her, she began to respond to the situation against her will.
Suddenly, she felt alive. Her breasts became ultra-sensitive, swelling against his chest as her nipples hardened into tight little nubs. In her mind's eye, Sarah could see his mouth on her, licking and tugging on them until she was breathless and on fire. As her breathing became shallow, she closed her legs to the liquid heat pooling there, denying its existence along with the hard shaft she'd unknowingly trapped there.
Oh God! What is happening to me? An explosive rush swept through her blood. She kept her eyes closed, desperate to ignore the changes in her body, trying to ignore that it was a man like Clint— callous, raw, and totally unlovable—who was turning her on to such a feverish pitch. She struggled to bring her breathing under control, embarrassed when a soft whimper broke the silence.
"Open your eyes," he demanded in a voice hoarse with desire.
"No." The way Sarah figured it, if she didn't look at him, nothing would happen. He couldn't possible know she was so turned on she was burning up with it.
"I'm going to kiss you."
It sounded like a threat. Her eyes flew open. "No!" The firmness she tried to inject into her tone came out weak and throaty, revealing her condition. The savage expression on his face frightened her but not nearly as much as the untamed wildfire racing through her body. His body began to move against her, his hardness fitting perfectly in the damp crevice between her legs. The ache in the lower half of her body became a tangible, almost painful, reminder that she hadn't had a cock in there in a long time. Too long.
"No? Are you sure about that, angel?"
"Yes," she gasped, mesmerized by the smoldering look in his eyes. "I don't think it's wise to complicate things." Not to mention she was scared out of her wits that she'd enjoy it. And she wasn't forgetting the fact he'd already fingered her. She'd never hear the end of it.
"One little kiss doesn't have to complicate anything," he returned with a wolfish grin.
He was actually teasing her—or was he testing her? "We both know that's not all you have on your mind," she pointed out.
"No, but maybe a good fuck will tame that mean mouth of yours. Right now, though, a kiss is all we have time for."
Right now? That insinuated they might have time for a good fuck, later.

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – According to data released by the Brazilian Association for the Hotel Industry (ABIH), 886,000 tourists traveled to Rio de Janeiro for the World Cup and revenue gained from this influx of visitors greatly exceeded expectations.
Prior to the World Cup, which started on June 12th in São Paulo, the Ministry of Tourism had estimated tourist spending would inject R$1 billion to Rio's local economy. Data released this week by Rio's Municipal Bureau of Tourism has put this figure at R$4.4 billion.
The majority of visitors, 471,000 were foreign and according to the same research, the average duration of stay was nine days in which time the average expenditure of tourists was R$639.
While over two hundred different nationalities traveled to Brazil for the World Cup, certain groups were extremely well represented with an estimated 100,000 Argentinians, many of whom did not have tickets to the match and watched the game at Copacabana's Fan Fest or in bars, and injecting upwards of US$100 million into the state's economy.
The study also found that overall average occupancy rate of hotels was 93.8 percent, reaching 99.75 percent in the days leading up to the final between Germany and Argentina at Rio's Maracanã Stadium.
The Municipal Secretary of Tourism, Antonio Pedro Figueira de Mello, said that the event was successful and had brought tourists who would not have previously considered coming to Rio to the city. "It is so important that they have evaluated the hospitality well and have stated that they would recommend Rio when they returned to home. It has captivated an audience that we need."
This insight was confirmed by a satisfaction survey conducted on behalf of the municipality by GMR Market Intelligence which showed that 98.3 percent of foreign visitors would recommend the Rio de Janeiro to their relatives and friends. According to the survey, 76 percent of foreign respondents considered public safety and cleanliness to be "good or great" and a further 97.1 percent said this of the hospitality they had received in Rio.

Ecology in Muslim Heritage: Treatises on Environmental Pollution up to the End of 13th Cen.
Several Arabic treatises dating from the 9th through the 13th century deal with environmental pollution. They cover subjects like air and water contamination, solid waste mishandling and environmental assessments of certain localities. The authors of these texts are well known scholars and physicians: al-Kindi, Qusta b. Luqa, al-Razi, Ibn al-Jazzar, al-Tamimi, Abu Sahl al-Masihi, Ibn Sina, Ali b. Ridhwan, Ibn Jumay', Ya'qub al-Isra' ili, Abdullatif al-Baghdadi, Ibn al-Quff and Ibn al-Nafis. The article surveys this important corpus of environmental ecology and summarizes its contents.

There in perhaps no film in existence that better exemplifies "cult" status than Tommy Wiseau's The Room. A titanic miff on every level imaginable, Wiseau's self-produced "romantic drama" is often called the worst movie ever made. And rightfully so. Anyone who's had the privilege of witnessing this filmic trainwreck is treated to a level of incompetence that is wholly endearing in its epic failure. If you however are among the many uninitiated, I would suggest you stop reading and run to your nearest video store (assuming it still exists) to grab a copy The Room. I guarantee they have one.
That's not to say that The Disaster Artist spoils any of the fun. They function independently but as a collection, ho baby, they are sweet. And while The Room has become so popular that it continues to play to sold out midnighter crowds even today, none will debate just how objectively bad every single frame is. So when James Franco, frequent director of unacclaimed adaptations of acclaimed American novels (The Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying, Child of God) announced he would direct and star in a making of account of Wiseau's seminal disasterpiece, the irony seemed rich. For his many attempts, Franco's directorial career had proved a non-starter. So here we have a questionable filmmaker taking potshots at a certifiable artist of ineptitude. Imagine my surprise when The Disaster Artist, one of 37 (!!!) of Franco's directorial efforts, turned out to be so effortlessly funny, so spilling over with heart and such a loving tribute to its oft mocked star. Literally everything I expected of The Disaster Artist went out the window as the film Franco created began to crystalize. Without setting the bar too high to conceivably clear, Franco has found his niche: sincerity.
Playing the enigmatic filmmaker-that-wasn't, Franco both caricaturizes Tommy Wiseau and cuts to the heart of what makes him such an endearing and mysterious figure. Beneath the long skuzzy black hair, choppy laugh and total discomfort with an American football, Franco makes Tommy real, going beyond impression and finding the underlying humanity. His humor in the role cannot be understated (seriously, Franco was born for this) but the amount of humanity he injects into this wacky outsider may catch you off guard. Though undeniably talentless, Tommy's capacity for kindness cannot be ignored.
When acting classmate Greg (Dave Franco) asks Tommy for advice after a display of "fearless" (read: horrendous) acting, Tommy takes him under his wing. Against the hesitation of Greg's mom, the two move to LA, where Tommy has another apartment laying in wait so they can give this whole acting thing a go. An almost suspiciously giving man, Tommy even lets Greg sleep in the apartment's single bedroom. He'll sleep on the coach.
The film written by Scott Neudstadter and Michael H. Weber and based on the tell-all of the same name from The Room actor Greg Sestero and writer Tom Bissell explores the trickiness of navigating Hollywood's insular community all through the lens of Tommy's strange breed of narcism and can-do attitude and it makes for a whole new kind of Hollywood insider experience.
A riotous Seth Rogen is Sandy Schklair, a behind-the-scenes script supervisor Tommy paid a shiny penny to work with (who, by his own admission and The Disaster Artist's description, more or less directed the film) and he provides a proxy for the audience into this batty making-of misadventure. Every time Tommy does something definitively insane, Sandy throws his hands in the air, the face of exasperation.
What remains unclear is just how much The Disaster Artist will do for those unfamiliar with The Room. Is this a piece of entertainment aimed towards a very specific subculture or will it prove accessible to a wider swatch of audiences? The answer may be both. Though who've seen the disaster art that is The Room will probably have a further appreciation for what Franco and Co. have created but a lack of familiarity is not a bar for entry as The Disaster Artist is a empathetic slice of weirdness that stands on its own merits. Unlike that which it is based on.
CONCLUSION: One of the funniest and most sincere making-of comedies to come out of Hollywood, 'The Disaster Artist' finds James Franco and brother Dave Franco homaging the world's worst movie with one of their bests.

Nick Todaro, email@example.com
A 45-year-old from Edmond spent Christmas in Ellis County lockup after failing to help a motorist after allegedly crashing his car into hers.
Michael Daniels was reportedly driving on U.S. 287 around noon Tuesday when he lost control and smashed his pickup truck into a Toyota Corolla driving near him. Det. Sgt. Mike Hopson, public information officer for the Ennis Police Department, said an off-duty Fort Worth police officer happened to witness the crash and followed Daniels, calling in to report the incident to Ennis authorities.

This week has been a test run for the rest of my life. After four years of being together every day, Chris started his new job yesterday and, get this, they won't let me come with him! I know, very weird.
Then my mother decided that with Savannah starting Kindergarten next month, she would make this week Grandma Summer Camp and so Savannah is gone all week.
In other words, I'M ALL ALONE!
(If you're an intruder, I have a very large and protective dog.)
(She's obviously dangerous; she takes down dinosaurs.)
So far this week I've been busying myself with moving type errands, which wouldn't be so bad were it not for the fact that I've had to wrestle Chris' rustic Jeep all around town. I graciously insisted that my Tahoe would be a better vehicle in which for him to commute to work. Little did I know that it would be a thousand degrees this week in southern Calif*rnia.
And here's a little known fact if you've known me less than ten minutes: I'm allergic to the sun. As in, I get blistering rashes all over my face if the sun touches it for more than a few minutes. So, I'm sure you can imagine what a stellar move it was to try to drive a roofless car in the desert. I looked like I had some sort of spastic disorder with the waving of the arms and the bobbing of the head trying to dodge the sun. Which, by the way, doesn't work because, well, the sun is sort of big.
Here's another little known fact: Your lettuce will blow out of the back of the Jeep and so will your US magazine. Even if they're buckled in a seat belt. Good. To. Know.
Aaaand I still am the unhappy owner of one unsellable house.
So, there you have it. Today's status is "Screwed". Hopefully to be upgraded tomorrow to "Confused".
The worst part is I'm doing all of this without having Chris' cute head in my peripheral vision anymore. I can't be expected to just quit his presence cold-turkey.
I need to transition.

I'm back!
On Monday we were invited to the local Council Chambers where Meg was presented with a copy of the book in which her short story has been published (Proud Mum and Dad moment!).
Hope you enjoyed the photos. I will be back soon with some cards hopefully. I am still lacking in ideas, but hopefully a bit of pinterest surfing should sort me out!
Thanks for looking!

Congratulations to your lovely Megan! She's one very special young lady with so many talents. You have every right to be proud.
Crikey your last week sounds pretty horrendous. I bet you were glad that was over, lol! Hope your mojo returns before the end of your week off. Mine's not been around much recently either but I'm not even trying to coax it back before weekend when my visitors have gone home and I can catch my breath, lol!
In the meantime, your photos are a beautiful sight so thanks for sharing.

Robert Remak, (born July 26, 1815, Posen, Prussia [now Poznań, Pol.]—died Aug. 29, 1865, Kissingen, Bavaria [Germany]), German embryologist and neurologist who discovered and named (1842) the three germ layers of the early embryo: the ectoderm, the mesoderm, and the endoderm. He also discovered nonmedullated nerve fibres (1838) and the nerve cells in the heart (1844) called Remak's ganglia, and he was a pioneer in the use of electrotherapy for the treatment of nervous diseases.
Remak studied under the eminent physiologist Johannes Müller at the University of Berlin and earned his M.D. degree (1838) with an important dissertation on the fine structure of nerve tissue. Barred from teaching by Prussian law, which closed that profession to Jews, he continued his research as an unpaid assistant in Müller's laboratory and supported himself by his medical practice. In 1843 Remak petitioned directly to Friedrich Wilhelm IV for a teaching position, but he was refused. That November he entered the laboratory of Johann Lukas Schönlein at the Charité Hospital, Berlin, where he continued his research on nerve tissue and also began his investigations into the role of the germ layers in the development of tissues and organs. In 1847, having by then acquired considerable eminence, Remak finally obtained a lectureship at the University of Berlin, becoming the first Jew to teach there. He was promoted to assistant professor in 1859 in belated, though quite inadequate, recognition of his extraordinary body of neurological and embryological research.

Color is a crutch If you took a majority of color photographs that people would consider interesting, and took the color away, you would find that they fall flat when suddenly desaturated. Think about some of the inane commentary that such photos often receive, such as "....beautiful color....," and it is not difficult to discern why such pictures lose their magic. Moreover, such maddening comments reveal just how ignorant viewers are, with respect to the qualities of photography that makes photography, great. When mediocre composition is bereft of the emotional draw of color, and is distilled down to the bare essence of compositional quality and subject significance, the picture in question is exposed, much like the emperor's clothes. Many photographers intentionally or unintentionally depend on color to bolster their weak photographs' appeal. Think about the constitution of good photography: Composition, which consists of line, form, placement of elements and shades of light and dark, and you can understand why black and white photography, is infinitely more relevant and interesting than color photography. When much of the "punch" of a color photo is removed, which is the color itself, then the true nature of the picture is revealed. Let's face it, when photographers' conception of photography's instrinsic artistic value is based on whether the color therein is "great" or not, then this showcases a group mentality in denial. What these photographers need to do is to self-examine their perceptions, and how these perceptions are holding them back from improving their compositional skill and the development of their aesthetic sense. Photo by Genghis EXPOSED: Bereft of color, an interesting photo depends on composition. Whether that true nature of the photo denuded of color, is ultimately worthy photography or not, depends on the underlying composition and subject matter. When the subject matter is decisively strong, then the picture will stand on its own in black and white. Otherwise, it's just an also-ran, destined for the scrap heap of Mediocre Mountain. What's also revealed, is the motivation behind many photographers' reluctance to shoot black and white: Fear of exposure of their true talent or lack, thereof. Some photographers subconsciously avoid black and white, for this reason. Some consciously do. Black and white photography, like love, is not for the faint of heart. Look around the internet at a sampling of the ignorant commentary regarding the worth of photos, and comments such as "....great color!" and you will realize how these uninformed (of what makes great photography, truly great) comments, reveal just how ignorant such commentary is. Color has nothing to do with the attributes that make photography worthy art. Color in the majority of cases, is a crutch. Take photos and desaturate them, and see what's left behind. Color is a superficial adornment, to the base of a photography. The foundational components of a photograph, are line, form, light and shadow, and the aesthetic placement of a picture's elements. As the proof is in the pudding, the proof in photography, is in the distillation down to the essence of the photograph. Black and white is pure, and a true test of the photographer's talent and artistic value. Later.

A Confusing Period of History Made Even More Confusing!
Grady Harp | Los Angeles, CA United States | 01/18/2007
(3 out of 5 stars)
"'Si te dicen que caí' ('If they tell you I fell') aka AVENTIS is a very long film made in 1989 by Vicente Aranda based on the novel by Juan Marsé AVENTIS. Apparently 'aventis' are stories created by bored youths in post civil war Barcelona who try to explain historical events mixed liberally with fiction, fantasy, superhero characters, and smoldering sex. In this case the aventis are re-workings of the Spanish Civil War history, a time span than runs from 1936 to 1940 to 1970 to the present. To understand the progress of events would take a straightforward documentary: toss in the concept of 'aventis' as made up by youngsters and the storyline is impossible to follow.
Perhaps in another director's hands, one less associated with his own political leanings, this film concept could have worked. It does, after all, have a cast of some of Spain's finest actors - Victoria Abril, Antonio Banderas, Juan Diego Botto, Jorge Sanz, Javier Gurruchaga, Lluís Homar and many others less well known now. There are so many crosscurrent stories lines that keeping the characters straight is a major problem. We see Jorge Sanz as a paid performer in a brothel: he performs bizarre sexual acts with the very pregnant Victoria Abril to satisfy a voyeur customer peeking through the curtains, yet we also see Sanz and Abril as lovers. The rise and fall of Franco, the conflicts of WW II fascism, communism, democratic republic, and all the machinations of politics and subterfuge and heroism and death make such an odd stew that finally filters down to the death and autopsy of a prostitute by a disturbed doctor....it just goes on and on.
The film is just being released on DVD and the color transfer and quality of film suffer. But those are technical items than can be easily forgiven if the movie itself were more worth watching. Doubtless those viewers who are well grounded in Spanish history from 1936 - 1989 will get much more out of what is probably a fine parody of a country at odds with itself. But for the casual viewer, looking at the film as a piece of Latin surrealism would be the only reason to view it. In Spanish or dubbed English (bah!) with no subtitles as option offered. Running time 120 minutes! Grady Harp, January 07
Grady Harp | 07/09/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Yes, it is a difficult film, but it is only confusing if you don;t go with the flow and resist the chronological fragmentation. The stories involve the same characters at different points in the past and the present, and the viewer must provide the framework. Jorge Sanz deservedly won the Goya as best actor that year--bu the way, he gives Eduardo Noriega a run for his money in the looks department (inclkuding some frontal nudity). Victoria Abril is a truly protean actress--she plays three different roles in the movie. Banderas, thankfully, has only a minor role. Aranda is one of the best directors around!"

With all the the focus on SOPA and PIPA, we need to be aware of other acts that will be snuck through while we arent paying attention.
ACTA is just as bad, or even worse than SOPA.
This is also a WORLDWIDE ACT, not localised to one continent.
For information on how this could affect you if passed, please watch this video.

On a bit of a more positive note than the previous entry!
I hope you all had a great christmas and are enjoying New years :]
I had a really good christmas 😀
Sara and Andy visited christmas eve, I got all really nice and unexpected gifts, and everyone liked theirs that I got for them x] and after we had a really nice dinner [which the only one to finish was me!], we spent a few hours with my grandparents, and it was really nice.
Its amazing that I can really tell the difference in a year if I compare this christmas to last.
And Im feeling really good this new years eve!
Or…new years morning now I guess? lol.
But yes, I did some exercise, had a shower, and then put the bagpipes on at the stroke of midnight, auld lang syne :] dont think Im ever as in touch with the scottish part of me as I am on new years eve.
Reminds me how much I love the culture, the music, and the country itself.
And the people that I briefly grew up and started my life around before we moved back here.
And this year, another change, I actually have resolutions, which I feel a great determination to accomplish!
1. Im gonna work out every day to be where Im at for the Blink 182 gig in June, and beyond. Im gonna get back to doing my physio too again as after it settled I kinda got lax with it. But I know its what I want. Im also gonna get back into the habit of walking bo too, ever since winter properly came in I havnt been out with her again.
2. Im gonna keep tweeking and changing up my eating in order to keep it on the right track. Im also going to make sure I keep a handle on my sleeping patterns, as it does affect my overall health.
3. Im gonna take more pictures. From 2008-2010, I took pictures all the time, then in 2011 I stopped, so Im definitely going to get back to that again.
4. Im going to focus even more, and work even harder with counselling.
5. Im going to let my hair grow longer again. Its going in the right direction, and my medication is in a fairly stable place now.
6. Im gonna keep focused and develop my artistic skills in the new outlets I have been exploring.
7. Im going to continue and work hard on my relationships with people.
8. Im definitely going to write more, Im letting too much go by, and with me being on medication, there are things I dont want to forget…or that would just be useful to remember lol.
9. Im going to try and sing, properly, full and all out, everyday. And remember to take time for myself.
10. And finallyyy, Im going to think less and do more. Nothing rash, just make decisions, support myself emotionally, do what I know I want to do.
Im really looking forward to being an active part in making this year good for myself. :]
I hope you all will have a great 2012 too!

Grant scheme launched to help communities explore local heritage
All Our Stories is a scheme established by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) which will make available grants of between £3,000 and £10,000 to community groups and organisations to go towards activities exploring, celebrating and sharing heritage.
Launched at Salford Museum and Art Gallery, All Our Stories was created to coincide with the BBC Two series The Great British Story – A People's History written and presented by broadcaster and historian Michael Wood.
Sarie Mairs Slee, Associate Head of School Engagement at the University, and event organiser, explained: "With TV programmes such as The Great British Story – A People's History and others proving so popular with viewers, we're seeing a real appetite among the public for learning more about heritage.
"We now want to get in touch with community groups who have been inspired to find out more about their own local histories and help develop projects to continue the story."
Activities eligible for funding could include researching collections and archives held by libraries, museums or local people; holding workshops, talks and sessions exploring people's memories; and archaeological digs or surveying historic buildings.
Free workshops for groups interested in applying for funding will be held at the University during July, giving more details about the All Our Stories scheme and offering attendees expert advice on how to develop their projects, while providing opportunities for partnership building and training with like-minded enthusiasts.
The deadline for applications for funding is Tuesday 31 July and further information on the workshops and All Our Stories is available from Sarie on 0161 295 2687 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Reduce errors when machining workpieces with a high degree of automation
Thanks to their flexibility, milling machines and machining centers are among the most commonly found machine tools.
Their range of types extends from simple 3-axis-systems to complex multi-axis machining centers to hybrid machines that combine, for example, milling and laser machining.
The main pre-requisites for machining workpieces: Correct positioning and exact tool guidance at high speed. These requirements present a challenge for the controlling of measuring systems, because the degree of automation is also constantly increasing especially when machines are interconnected and used for the production of mass production parts.
BIP inductive positioning systems from Balluff can supply vitally important information about tool clamping: Unclamped, clamped with tool, clamped without tool. Combined with our BSP pressure sensors, the plausibility of the sensor signals can also be checked in hydraulic clamping systems via a second channel.
With machine mount I/O blocks, the commissioning of the machine controller for the individual sensor is decidedly simpler and more economical than with the classic wiring methods. Because the blocks are designed for all standard industrial ethernet & fieldbus systems, you can use them with a variety of controllers.
Moreover, via IO-Link, the blocks are a perfect fit for Industry 4.0 and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications. This is because they enable the exchange of parameters, process and diagnostic data and provide for easy scaling of the control architecture.
When trying to check the travel of machine shafts, you have two options: Classic applications utilize BNS mechanical position switches requiring physically switching the sensor or utilizing contactless BES inductive sensors.
Newer applications utilize our incremental BML magnetic encoder, the sensor signals are sometimes also used for reference point runs.
In order to monitor the rotation along the Z-axis, auxiliary axes (for example, C) are also used increasingly in addition to the main axes X, Y and Z.
Our BML magnetic encoder is used for high-precision detection of the angle of rotation. Its measurement principle enables clearance in the center of the axis. As a result, media such as cooling lubricants as well as the power supply and signal lines can better be fed through.
BIS C industrial RFID systems in LF (low frequency) or BIS M in HF (high frequency) ensure the correct tool data (number, diameter, offsets, length, number of cutting edges, ...) are made available to the CNC controller in milling machines and machining centers.
Reliably identified and transferred, these parameters are the basis for optimized, high-quality tool management allowing for downtime monitoring.
Pallet systems with automatic external loading and unloading of workpieces reduce internal setup times so that the machine can increase cutting time.
Our BIS M 13.56-MHz HF system has established itself as the standard for reliable assignment and tracking with RFID. The system reads and writes key data to the code tag like databolts attached directly to the pallet or the workpiece.

The eye can be analyzed with relative ease as to both its function and its structure. A practical evaluation consists of the capability to relocate the orbit and the response of the student to light and lodging.
The function of the eye may be evaluated in several methods. The client might be asked to determine illuminated letter or objects of differing sizes on what is referred to as the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may be made in a number of ways. Tension within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In certain diseases, especially in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased considerably.
However, it needs to be well bore in mind that a patient with an eye problem may have other problems too. Typically other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a repercussion. The look of the eye can alert the doctor and the patient to problems in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other signs provide themselves.
One's reliance on sight is emphasized when one deals with a temporary or possible irreversible loss of this vital sense. For this reason, when corrective steps are looked for, particular kinds of vision correction such as contact lenses or spectacles are prescribed.
On the other hand, some individuals are troubled with the truth that they have actually some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this factor, advanced surgical operations were developed to encourage decreased usage of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Basically, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another form of vision correction. The only distinction is that with this kind of surgery, one's vision is corrected completely.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are completely changed. This can be done utilizing an "excimer laser."
The primary function of this surgical treatment is to produce a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea utilizing a blade referred to as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is finally reformed, permitting much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Appeal vs. Disadvantages
In the middle of the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgery, there are still disadvantages that people must understand. Probably, the main factor why this kind of eye surgery has actually become well accepted is due to the fact that the majority of its cases had actually been effective.
In spite of its success, there are still some disadvantages. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation used to the most delicate part of the eye
Due to the fact that LASIK eye surgery includes the operation of the retina, which is one of the most sensitive parts of the eye, the majority of people say that the operation can be really risky.
In other words, a easy mistake could almost cause an person's lifetime blindness. For this reason, it is necessary to think about lots of aspects prior to deciding whether LASIK eye surgery is the best restorative measure one has to go through.
2. It is not a best treatment
LASIK eye surgery might remedy your vision however it does not always mean that it can give Check Out Your URL you a perfect vision. Even if analytical reports show that 70% of the patients might have 20/20 vision, this does not necessarily imply they have ideal vision as well.
Provided all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK might not constantly be the perfect eye surgical treatment the method the majority of people see it
Conversely, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye might be made in numerous methods. It needs to be well kept in mind that a patient with an eye issue may have other problems. Often other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a effect. The look of the eye can alert the patient and the doctor to troubles in some disruptions of other parts of the body even before other signs present themselves.
