text: Analysis: I loved the shadow shapes in this photo, and it's the first one where the majority of the face is dark. VERY dark. The eyes are slightly off, the upper left side of the face needs to be darker, and the lips and face slightly wider. The lips look fuller then I actually drew them, but that was a result of when I was laying in the shading. The fun part is that I did use my electric eraser when i was done to pick out the highlights in the white of the eye and the chin strap.

No. 2-Seeded Cal Edges No. 3-Seeded ASU, 65-61, in Pac-10 Semifinals
March 9, 2008
SAN JOSE, Calif. - Devanei Hampton swore she'd be ready on the heels of a sub-par performance, and the California star showed up with 19 points and 16 rebounds to lift the Golden Bears (No. 9 ESPN/USA Today, No. 10 AP) past Arizona State 65-61 on Sunday and into their first Pac-10 tournament title game.
Just when it looked like another down day on offense for Hampton, she scored six points during an 8-0 spurt to start the second half. Last year's Pac-10 Player of the Year pulled down 13 boards -- seven of those on the offensive end -- in the first half after getting just seven in 34 minutes against Oregon on Saturday.
But Hampton also bounced back with a strong second half on offense after shooting 2-for-14 in the first 20 minutes. Natasha Vital added 14 points and Ashley Walker had 10 points and 10 rebounds for Cal (26-5), which had to hold off a late rally to advance to Monday's title game.
The Bears will face either top-seeded and Stanford (No. 7 ESPN/USA Today, No. 6 AP) or fifth-seeded UCLA, and lost both meetings with the rival Cardinal during the regular season, 72-52 and 60-58.
Third-seeded Arizona State (21-10) had the momentum heading into halftime but missed its first four shots out of the break and then went 4 1/2 minutes without scoring while the Bears rolled. Dymond Simon led her team with 22 points, Briann January scored 15 before fouling out, and Jill Noe added 11 points, six rebounds and four assists.
Simon's 3-pointer from the left corner with 27.5 seconds left cut Cal's lead to four and she scored again the next time down to make it 64-61.
The Sun Devils, who had their five-game winning streak snapped, were trying to reach the tournament title game for the second straight year. They won the inaugural 2002 conference tournament, and the event will move to Los Angeles next March after six years in San Jose and one in Eugene, Ore.
Kelsey Adrian's 3 with 10:18 to play put Cal up 51-40 and the Bears led by as many as 16 before the Sun Devils got back in it. Arizona State started the half 3-for-19.
The Sun Devils are still likely to receive an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament, which would be the program's fourth straight berth and sixth in eight years. ASU dropped all three meetings with Cal this season.
Noe scored the final six points of the first half for Arizona State, which led 34-33 at the break after shooting 48 percent to Cal's 29 percent. Cal held a 27-14 rebounding advantage in the half and finished up with a 44-34 edge.
The Bears earned a hard-fought 67-60 victory over Oregon on Saturday that was sloppy at times -- and they still aren't quite as sharp as coach Joanne Boyle would like.
Sun Devils coach Charli Turner Thorne used her usual wave substitution pattern but her post players seemed to run out of gas trying to slow down Hampton, Walker and Co. ASU, which posted its fourth straight 20-win season, didn't grab its first offensive rebound until Lauren Lacey had one at the 7:22 mark of the first half.
Cal held a 12-3 rebounding edge 7 1/2 minutes into the game, seven of those by Hampton.

My parents' hide-a-bed couch made this crazy sound every time you open or close it. I like the deep final note it makes when it is closed. This recording is decent enough for background noise, but I wish I was able to position my recorder to really get a clearer sound. Oh well, there are other creaking couches.
a some just what i needed
Thanks! I haven't listened to this sound in a while. I think I'm going to stick it in Izotope Iris and see what insanity comes out, hehe.
wow what a cool sound! super nasty low end, and the modulation of the spring is pretty wild. stumbled across this in search of something more conventional, i'm sure i'll be able to use it on something in the future!
I'm glad you mentioned him. I've never heard of him, but his stuff is awesome!

Critiques of Arizona's Take on Research
The Institute for Language and Education Policywhich says its mission is to educate the public on research-based strategies for English-language learnershas posted a 10-page critique of a 13-page document that an Arizona task force is using to justify changes in programs for ELLs.
Also, the Washington-based Center on Education Policy released a report, "Caught in the Middle: Arizona's English Language Learners and the High School Exit Exam," today that includes the following recommendation: "The state's structured English-immersion models should be rethought to require school districts to implement instructional models that are truly research-based." That report quotes a task force member anonymously as admitting that Arizona's new requirements for ELLs aren't informed by research.
School districts in Arizona are being required to teach specific English skills to ELLs for four hours a day. Students at beginning levels of English proficiency, for example, must receive 45 minutes of instruction in oral English, an hour in grammar, an hour in reading, and 15 minutes in pre-writing, according to a state document on models for instruction. (See "Arizona Spells Out 'Research-Based' Models for English Immersion.")
In their critique, posted by the Institute for Language and Education Policy, Stephen Krashen of the University of Southern California, Jeff MacSwan of Arizona State University, and Kellie Rolstad of Arizona State University conclude that Arizona's review of the research "neglects to reference significant research bearing on the questions raised, and frequently draws inappropriate conclusions from the research presented."
One of their complaints is that the Arizona document fails to cite research studies that have concluded that structured English immersion is an inferior approach for ELLs in comparison with programs that teach such students in both English and in their native language. Mr. Krashen and Mr. MacSwan have been vocal supporters of bilingual education.
The three researchers say they concur with Arizona's task force that research supports the idea that ELLs benefit from discrete blocks of instructional time devoted to English language and literacy instruction. However, they say that it can't be further concluded that fixed amounts of times should be given to the instruction of discreet skills. Mr. MacSwan clarified to me in an e-mail message that this refers to the fact, for example, that Arizona is requiring one hour of grammar each day for beginning ELLs. He and the other two researchers are interpreting Arizona's requirements to mean that grammar would be taught outside of its "ordinary context," he said.
They caution against the adoption of a curriculum that separates academic subject matter from language teaching, arguing that students need a meaningful context to learn language in school.

Friday Favs 10/30/15
Some of my favorite new submissions this week:
Ann ordered a beach theme cake, and asked the baker to write "Happy Birthday Lorenzo" on the ocean part.
She got this:
...which has to be the first time a literal LOL actually pales in comparison to the butchered name of the birthday boy.
Seriously, how do you turn "Lorenzo" into "Boricua"?? That's only two correct letters! Out of seven! Why... what... HOW....? [head explodes]
When a house warming party turns ominous:
[whisper] "Geeeeet OOOOUUUUUTTT!"
Deb wants to know if she's the only one who sees a Pumpkin man wearing a fig leaf on this cake:
Dear Deb,
This next one is a Sports Ball thing, so allow me to translate for my fellow sports neophytes: Apparently the Royals (a Sports Ball "team") are sometimes known as the "Boys in Blue."
But after today, that's not ALL they'll be known as:
Bakers, I do not think it means what you think it means.
And finally,
Ordering a company logo on a cake can be daunting, but luckily for Will R., the Michael Kors logo is literally just the letters MK.
And yet...
Where there's a Will, there's a way to wreck Will's manager's cake.
Thanks to Ann F., Brady T., Deb B., Sarah F., Terri C., & Will R. for giving his manager the perfect excuse to throw up his/her hands in disgust and cry, "I'M SURROUNDED BY LITTLE MK'S!"
Thank you for using our Amazon links to shop! USA, UK, Canada.

Mike de Kock, Craig Eudey and Charles Laird
(Steinhoff Summer Cup/The Age/John Lewis/Summerhill)
Both Mike de Kock and Charles Laird could have a big say in the outcome of this year's R2 million Steinhoff International Summer Cup to be run over 2000m at Turffontein on Saturday 29 November.
The two trainers, who fought out last season's National Trainers' Championship, will saddle seven of the 18 runners who contest the Grade 1 race on the standside track. Mike de Kock sends out Equal Image, Galant Gagnant, Rudra and Autumn Frost, while Charles Laird runs Likeithot, Smart Banker and Senor Versace.
Charles Laird's runners have been in rampant form of late and Likeithot won the Charity Mile November Handicap while Smart Banker prevailed in the Victory Moon Handicap, both Grade 2 events. At this point Charles Laird has not declared his three jockeys but it is likely that stable rider Anton Marcus will take Smart Banker.
Rudra contested both those races and finished third in the Charity Mile and second in the Victory Moon but he meets both runners on 2kg better terms in the Summer Cup. There has been a change in riding arrangements with Kevin Shea taking Rudra while Anthony Delpech, who rode the four-year-old son of Parade Leader in his last two starts, is now up on Galant Gagnant.
Thandolwami was the fastest finisher in the Charity Mile where he split Likeithot and Rudra. He will be best suited to this distance but while he meets Likeithot on 1.5kg better terms, Craig Eudey's runner is 0.5kg worse off with Rudra. Raymond Danielson retains the ride.
Gliding High was another who finished strongly in the Charity Mile to claim fifth spot, and Richard Fourie makes the trip from Cape Town to ride Brian Wiid's runner.
Also in the lineup are Gommagomma Challenge first and second, Eddington and She's On Fire respectively. Piere Strydom has stayed with Dominic Zaki's runner while Weichong Marwing, who has won on the mare on two occasions, takes the ride on Ormond Ferraris' charge.
Geoff Woodruff will be represented by Aluminium and Prince Asad. With champion jockey Mark Khan taking the ride on Aluminium, he does appear to be the stable elect although on form he is well held by both Smart Banker and Rudra.
The draw for barrier positions will take place at a function at Turffontein Racecourse on Wednesday at 7.30pm, and will be shown live on Tellytrack.
Final field for the R2 million Steinhoff International Summer Cup (G1) to be run 2000m at Turffontein on Saturday 29 November.
1-EDDINGTON (D Zaki) P Strydom 60.0 - 108

*TRIGGER WARNING* This post contains my experience of a miscarriage and includes graphic pictures.
I don't talk a lot about my miscarriage for a few reasons. When it happened, I didn't feel super supported by my family. No one offered to help me with anything. It was an EXTREMELY depressing month where I cried and cried until I had no more tears. It was an awkward pregnancy to begin with. The father of 4 of my 5 children (the one they all call Dad, Brandon) and I had split up and I, for a very brief time, got back with the father of my oldest. I ended up getting pregnant during this very short reunion and after I remembered why I left him to begin with, Brandon and I reunited. Brandon was going to take on this pregnancy and be "Dad" to this baby just as he had my oldest.
We both quickly became attached to the baby and felt like it was going to be a girl. FINALLY a girl. Maybe? He even bought a little outfit that said "Daddy's Little Girl" on it which completely melted my heart. He was not one to buy baby stuff, so the fact that he came home with this outfit on a whim really meant A LOT considering the situation.
We went to an ultrasound around 9 weeks to confirm the pregnancy and saw a happy, healthy little baby. Everything looked perfect. The heartbeat was spot on.
This was my fourth pregnancy. I had always had such easy pregnancies so I didn't really have a care in the world. I was seeing my amazingly wonderful midwife, Dinah for my prenatal care. She was my midwife for baby #2 and #3, so she was excited to be caring for me through another pregnancy.
When I went in for my 12 week appointment on February 16th, 2010, everything seemed to feel normal and going smoothly. I was excited to get to hear the baby's heartbeat on the doppler. I laid down on the table and she began to search for my little one. Since I am a plus size mama, it usually takes a few minutes to find the hiding baby, so she kept feeling around with the doppler. After a few minutes of probing my belly with the gel-covered wand, she still couldn't find the heartbeat.
By this point, I was a little worried. She offered to send me over to the hospital for an ultrasound to give me peace of mind, but said that it could possibly just be a little too early to pick up on the doppler. I eagerly took up her offer for the ultrasound and headed straight to the hospital. As I sat in the waiting room surrounded by very obviously pregnant women, I tried not to let my fear show. I was about to go in to see if my baby was alive or not. Surely he/she was and this was just a fluke, but I couldn't help but worry.
I was finally called in and got situated up on the table. Shirt up, pants below the belly and on goes the gel. Now I have seen my fair share of ultrasounds, so I knew exactly when I was looking for. The doctor put the wand on my belly and there was my baby! Floating. Not moving. No heartbeat blinking. Just floating there, lifelessly. I immediately knew what my heart was afraid to realize but kept hoping that maybe I was imagining this. I hoped that I was missing something or looking at it wrong. I just kept staring as the doctor moved the probe, measuring my still baby.
Once he finished the measurements, he said that he was sorry, but the baby didn't make it. I already knew. He must have known by the look of despair on my face. I know there are no right words to say in these moments, but I felt like he didn't say the right thing. He told me he would call my midwife and let her know. I was completely stunned and tears started to fall down my face. What was I supposed to do now? What was I supposed to say? How was I supposed to tell everyone that my baby had died?
Before I walked out of the exam room, I was so thankful that I remembered to ask for a printout of the picture of my sweet baby. She was measuring at 10 weeks and 4 days when I was 12 weeks pregnant, so she had passed away not long after my first ultrasound. I instantly started wracking my brain and blaming myself. What did I do wrong? How did I cause this? Did I lift something too heavy? Did I lean against the hot stove too long? I knew that it was my fault that my baby was dead and I was devastated.
I called Dinah and she told me that I could either wait for the miscarriage to happen naturally or opt for a D&C. I chose to wait it out as I did not want to subject myself to any more trauma. In the meantime, I had time to grieve and prepare myself mentally for this terrible loss. I cried for days. When I was done crying, I cried some more. I made plans that no parent should ever have to do. I called a funeral home and was donated a cremation of my little one when she finally passes. They and I were aware that there would not really be anything "left" aside from the ashes of which she was cremated in, but they respected my need for the closure. I was so thankful. But I still looked pregnant. And my heart was still shattered.
The time that I had preparing everything for my baby was the most amazing therapy ever. I went shopping for the perfect boxes in which to lay to rest my precious baby. I made a beautiful pillow for her to be placed on and chose the most delicate fabric to wrap around her body. I was able to make peace with myself. I knew that it wasn't my fault. I learned that these things really can happen to anyone. Even me.
I found the perfect little memory box as well as a tiny little decorative box in which I would store her ashes after they were returned to me. I chose the perfect name. Indigo Rain.
I even made a little velvet pouch to hold the ashes before they are placed inside the decorative box. I wanted my little one to know that she meant the absolute world to me and I wanted her to have the most comfort possible.
On February 25th, 2010, I was sitting at home at my computer on my exercise ball. 9 days after I found out that my baby's heart was no longer beating, it all began. I stood up to go to the bathroom and felt a POP. Never before had my water broke before labor, but I knew that was EXACTLY what had just happened. I walked to the bathroom and sat on the toilet. The pad that I had been wearing was soaked. When I wiped, there was a tinge of blood, so I decided to go ahead and get into the tub. I knew it wouldn't be long.
I started up the water and before I knew it, the blood just started to flow out of me. I was not in any pain at all. Barely a couple minutes of bleeding had passed and after a big clot, out came my tiny, perfect baby. I picked her up and looked at her with amazement. Such dainty features. Everything looked so perfectly formed. Ten tiny fingers. Ten tiny toes.
I called Brandon into the bathroom and told him to bring me a towel, a clear glass bowl and my camera. I stayed in the bathtub as I continued to bleed, but I didn't want to ever forget a single detail of this precious life, so I began to shoot.
My baby was smiling at me! It made me smile. And cry, of course.
Look at those little toes!!
And those perfect little ears…
Surprise, surprise! It looks like SHE is really a HE!
I was able to get the most STUNNING pictures of my little one at a gestation most people never get to see. I will always be grateful that I had him in my life and got to spend these precious moments enjoying him.
Indigo Rain was born still on February 25th, 2010. He was almost 2 inches long and weighed just over 1/4 of an ounce.
The tiniest footprints really do leave the biggest impact on the world. I will never forget my sweet baby, Indi.
I hope my story helps you to deal with your miscarriage. It's ok to cry. It's a normal part of grieving. It's ok to completely fall apart. The pieces will go back together, even if there is always a tiny one missing. Every loss matters, no matter how early or what the circumstances.

Washington Street Elementary School
Did you ever think that puzzles could be a great way to teach students something? Did you ever think that they could gain knowledge and understand teamwork and hard work by simply putting a puzzle together? At Washington Street Elementary School, guidance counselor Roblynne McDuffie put this idea to the test. The results were tremendous.
Each week the students discussed the Darlington Country School District character word of the week. One week, the word was perseverance.
McDuffie says the students look up the meaning of the word and she shares real-life scenarios of what the word means. To help students understand perseverance more clearly, McDuffie developed a simple activity using puzzles. Students were put into groups and each group had to work together to complete the puzzle.
"Working together gave the students hands-on knowledge about perseverance, hard work and teamwork," McDuffie says.
McDuffie was not the only one who witnessed students displaying perseverance. First grade teacher Porsche Jackson witnessed a group of students taking this task to the next level.
"When I arrived to pick up my first grade students from guidance, I observed them working collaboratively to put together a puzzle," Jackson says. "Some puzzles were more complete than others, some students were working more appropriately than others, but they were all working on the task at hand. Who knew such a seemingly simple task of putting together a puzzle could develop such great skills?"
The puzzle activity showcased skills developed in students that have a hard time in the classroom. Jackson was quick to notice that the most completed puzzle was done by a group of students that are not usually recognized for having such skills. "After speaking with the adults who facilitated the activity, I learned that one of my students, who is often off task in the classroom, was the student in the group who excelled and had done the majority of the puzzle. This was mind blowing," Jackson explains.
The teacher wondered what it was about doing a puzzle that inspired him. "I knew that whatever it was about the puzzle, I could use it to meet this student's needs and the needs of all my students," Jackson adds.
Joshua Jackson, first grader in Mrs. Jackson's class was excited about using puzzles at school. "I was really happy when I finished the puzzle first," he says proudly. "The puzzle was really easy."
For more information about the using puzzle activity to teach students about perseverance, contact Washington Street Elementary School guidance counselor Roblynne McDuffie. For more information on the benefits of using the puzzle in the classroom, contact Mrs. Porsche Jackson, first grade teacher at Washington Street Elementary School.

Our babies will be in diapers for the first years of their life and we'll really be spending a lot of money on them (Oh my!). The decision on choosing the right diaper is very important. Not only should it be best for baby, but offers us moms exceptional value too because while there are many things moms like me can scrimp on, my Amaria Niszha's well-being isn't one of them.
Now, how do we SAVE on diapers while still giving our child the best? How do we choose the best one and make sure that we're actually getting our money's worth?
We are not rich but we have enough to give our Ysha the best that she deserves. We have been trusting Pampers to care for her since day 1. And here are the reasons why moms like me find Pampers to be the most sulit disposable diaper for our little ones:
- Pampers offer exceptional absorbency
It is able to quickly absorb and lock in the wetness that helps prevent Ysha's skin from being exposed to persistent moisture, which typically leads to rashes.
After more than a year, feeling her dry, fluffy butt cheeks after removing her nappies still surprises me! 😀 And she never, as in NEVER, had rashes, ever, with pampers!
Look how thin these diapers are! I wonder how they get to be sooo absorbent!
Probably because…
- Pampers is made of quality materials
We all know that baby's skin is very sensitive. What I like most with Pampers is that it has a very cottony feel for it's made with ultra soft and gentle materials that will not irritate my little girl's skin. Comfort and safety are two elements that we really have to consider on choosing a diaper and I will vouch for Pampers for that!
- Pampers is ideal for Ysha's size
Ysha has enormous legs! (mana sa mommy!) But one key feature of Pampers is the stretchy tapes that help adjust to her shape and movement for superior fit and comfort. We started using the Pampers Baby-Dry Pants for her as she turned 1 year old and the elastic waistbands help adjust to her getting even heavier and playful. Plus the easy-on and easy-tear off benefits help make changing a breeze especially when we're out!
Diaper sizing conventions are based on babies' weight. However, like most clothes, sizing from brand to brand can vary, and so does baby's fit on the diapers.
- Pampers offer more savings in the long run!
We often try to strike a balance between the cost of an item and its perceived quality, choosing to sacrifice some quality if it means it will lead to more savings. Now that I am a mother and I have tried this first hand, I know for a fact that high quality diapers, most especially Pampers, end up giving more savings in the long run.
Don't just check the price of one pad of diaper when computing for how much a diaper really costs! Higher quality diapers may be more expensive, but they offer exceptional absorbency, which means changing less often and using fewer diapers in a day. This means I actually save more because I purchased less diapers! It is much more accurate to compute cost of diapers monthly because it reflects how much diapers you actually use, and how much you save from having less frequent changes.
And if your baby gets rashes or skin irritations because of the lower quality diaper, it may make them feel unwell and uncomfortable that you'd have to see their pedia and buy expensive creams to put on, etc. Making you end up taking extra measures to nurse them back to health.
- Pampers has a cute design!
I personally like how playfully cute their designs are! And I looove seeing them on Ysha! 😀
Pampers ensures superior quality with 12-hours of overnight dryness to help give baby a good night sleep and protection from diaper rash. In fact, Pamper Baby Dry can last longer than 2 ordinary diapers overnight, which means I'm not only ensuring Ysha's comfort, mas nakakatipid pa talaga ako!
Pampers is a part of The Procter & Gamble Company and is the #1-selling diaper worldwide. Why wouldn't I trust Pampers when parents have trusted it to care for their babies for more than 50 years!
More than 25 million babies in 100 countries around the world wear Pampers everyday. Is your baby one of them? Join my Pampers Giveaway!
1- Follow me on Instagram and like my FB page and Pampers
2- Like my Pampers photo/post on IG and FB
3- Comment the reason why you trust Pampers and tag 2 of your mommy friends who might want to join too!
2 mommies will win 1 pack of Pampers Baby-Dry and 1 pack of Pampers Baby-Dry Pants each! Winners will be announced on October 31, 2017.
We've tried both the cheaper and the more expensive brands, but we just keep coming back to Pampers! Moms like me trust only the best diaper for the best motherhood journey.

IE with two brains: Chrome Frame
Chrome Frame is the opposite of IE Tab, in that it can display sites using Chrome's rendering engine rather than Internet Explorer's. Using Chrome Frame, businesses running calcified versions of Internet Explorer can still render all of the sites that have dropped support for old IE versions in the last year or two. You can try Chrome Frame out by navigating to the Chrome Frame site in Internet Explorer 6 or newer, but administrators also have access to an MSI that can be deployed and managed with most of the same group policies that control the standard version of Chrome. Chrome Frame is slightly different from Chrome—among other things, it uses Internet Explorer's network stack instead of Chrome's and drops support for a couple of Chrome's HTML5 features—but otherwise it's the same browser.
The downside of Chrome Frame is that it usually requires site developers to add a line of code to their sites to activate it—you can tell if a site is using Chrome Frame by right-clicking and seeing if "About Chrome Frame" appears in the context menu. Otherwise, forcing sites to render with Chrome Frame can be accomplished by editing registry settings on individual computers or by using group policies—you can either specify particular sites you'd like to render with Chrome Frame, or force all sites to render with Chrome Frame by default. You can also force pages to render in Chrome Frame by adding a "gcf:" prefix in front of your URLs, after enabling this feature with a Registry hack.
Chrome Frame's support from major Web developers is a bit spotty at best—using Alexa's top sites list as a starting point, I found that most of the Google Apps (including Gmail and Google Docs), Facebook, and Yahoo supported Chrome Frame, but Twitter, eBay, Amazon, LinkedIn, YouTube, and even Google's Search pages didn't use it. Because of these oddities, Chrome Frame works best only if you absolutely can't install a browser other than Internet Explorer on your computers. Otherwise, most people will be better served by installing a second browser on their users' systems and informing them to use Internet Explorer when a page doesn't render properly.
A short-term fix
With the exception of Browsium Ion, all of these fixes are stop-gap solutions. Windows XP and Internet Explorer will cease to be supported in less than two years, and this means that they will no longer receive security updates.
IE Tab and Chrome Frame, which run on Windows XP directly, even when using their modern rendering engines, are most vulnerable here: any malware that can attack the browser will be able to compromise the operating system too. Windows XP Mode and MED-V, which only use Windows XP for browsing legacy sites (typically hosted on corporate networks and hence unlikely to host malware), are safer, but will still require the use of an unpatched, unsupported operating system come 2014.
Only Browsium Ion offers the ability to use legacy sites without a legacy browser, but this comes at some cost: it lacks the perfect compatibility that the alternative options offer.
Which of these products is the best option for your company will depend on your exact circumstances. All offer a way to mix and match modern browsing with legacy browsing, with different trade-offs in terms of price, ease-of-use, manageability, and performance.
Not one of them, however, should be regarded as a long-term fix. The applications that force companies to use Internet Explorer 6 need to be fixed or replaced. They're transitional technologies, and while they may very well make that transition easier, it still needs to happen.

The Washington International Horse Show (WIHS), one of the most prestigious and entertaining equestrian events in North America, is pleased to announce nominations are now being accepted for the Sixth Annual WIHS Klinger Perpetual Award for Honor and Service, presented by EQUUS Foundation and The Stephens Family. The 60th anniversary WIHS runs October 23-28 at Capital One Arena in downtown Washington, D.C.
The award recognizes a horse, individual, or organization that best demonstrates the values of honor and service as embodied by Klinger, a special horse who has touched the lives of many in his life of service with the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) Caisson Platoon.
At The Old Guard, Klinger performs solemn duties as a funeral escort bringing departed military members to their final resting spot at Arlington National Cemetery, and serves as the official escort to the President of the United States and has led the Presidential Inaugural Parade.
Beyond his official duties, Klinger brings comfort to veterans and families of our fallen heroes in his role as a Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) Ambassador and he has been an important part of WIHS for many years – visiting with children on WIHS Kids' Day and participating in the Caisson Platoon Exhibition on WIHS Military Night. It is both fitting and a great honor that WIHS should salute him through this special award program.
The 2018 Klinger Award recipient will be recognized during a presentation at center ring with Klinger and representatives of the Caisson Platoon, WIHS and EQUUS Foundation on Friday, October 26, during the annual WIHS Military Night. The recipient will have the opportunity to select an equine charity on EQUUS Foundation's Equine Welfare Network to receive a $750 grant matched by a $750 donation from The Stephens Family.
Last year's award recipient was Admiral, the mainstay of the equine-assisted activities and therapies programs at Bridle Paths in Leesburg, Va. This 12-year-old Percheron-Thoroughbred cross gelding carries therapeutic riding clients with care and dignity enabling child and adult riders alike to reach new heights. "Perhaps nowhere does Admiral shine more than in his work with veterans, service members, and their families," said Kathleen Fallon, President of Bridle Paths.
Nomination forms are available at WIHS Klinger Award Nomination Form. All nominations must be received by Friday, September 14, 2018. Learn more at www.wihs.org/klinger-award.
To nominate a special horse, individual or organization for this award, please complete and return the nomination form to email@example.com or by mail to: Washington International Horse Show, Attention: Klinger Award, 3299 K Street NW, Suite 600, Washington, DC 20007.

Juan Manuel Marquez says Mayweather will beat Pacquiao
Legendary Mexican boxer Juan Manuel Marquez knows a thing or two about facing some of the biggest names in boxing history, having faced both Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao inside the squared circle.
The Mexican and Pacquiao fought each other a whopping four time and he dealt the most devastating blow to the jaw of the Filipino when he knocked him out cold in the dying seconds in the sixth round of their last fight. He lost his only meeting with Mayweather and that has convinced him that any meeting between the two biggest names in boxing at present will go in favor of the American.
Marquez, who is ranked at number six in the pound for pound rankings, said that the American is too strong in his defense, counter punches and overall footwork and that will be too much for Pacquiao to handle. While Juan Manuel Marquez predicts that Money will win the bout if it ever took place, he will not be able to land a technical knockout win.

The most shameful lie in the President's State of the Union speech was the following claim: "Over the last few years, both parties have worked together to reduce the deficit by more than $2.5 trillion. As a result we are more than halfway toward the goal of $4 trillion in deficit reduction that economists say we need to stabilize our finances."
Just ask yourself this question; if we already cut $2.5 trillion from the budget how come we face the dreaded sequester on March 1st that will chop another $85 billion from the budget. Obama told the House and Senate, the Cabinet, the Supreme Court, the leaders of our armed forces-- and over 300 million citizens the reduction of $2.5 trillion from the budget meant our nation was more than half way toward the grand goal of balancing our budget and the solution to our fiscal problems.
Here's what I reckon; if we had already cut $2.5 trillion of the target $4 trillion-- why then no sequester is necessary on March 1st. Why haven't the geniuses on Wall Street woken up in alarms about this misrepresentation? Because, we didn't already cut $2.5 trillion from the budget. We are not more than half way there. And why didn't the talking heads on cable television or outraged Republicans stick it to Obama over the weekend?
Back to the State of the Union. Thirsty Marco Rubio didn't even hammer the President for his
blatant attempt to convince the nation that it is not really necessary to make cuts in Social Security and Medicare. Rather, after misrepresenting the agreement reached in the Budget Control Act of 2011 to cap domestic programs by $1.2 trillion over 10 years-- most of which are on the come-- not actually made-- the President then went on to try and spend more money we don't have on infrastructure (he should have done it in 2009).
It sure would be helpful if we could hire people to repair 70,000 bridges, establish pre-nursery schools for every 4 year old kid, attack the environmental problems that emanate from global warming, and welcome valuable immigrants from around the globe. But, first we have to decide which domestic programs need to be capped, and obtain agreement on how to proceed in a manner that won't result in another recession and higher unemployment.
Maybe the White House intends to pay for all this by closing loopholes for fat-cat oilmen. That would be a hell of an achievement. Still, I'd rather learn precisely how and where and when and how much we have already reduced the deficit by $2.5 trillion. There's a challenge for some enterprising journalist like myself. I'll let you know how it comes out ASAP.

Springtime For The Wood Whisperer & His Guild members Too!
|My Shaker Table from the
1st Guild Build.
Well fellow woodworkers, Marc is up to his old tricks and another Guild Build is upon us.
For any of you who don't know (can there be any woodworkers who don't know?) the Wood Whisper Guild Builds are a trice yearly build where Marc publish plans & offers step by step instructions while the Wood Whisperer Guild members build along. Bell Forrest Products even sell special kits of all the lumber needed to build a Guild Build Project.
Previous Guild Build projects have been a shaker table, a dresser and a wall hanging cabinet. This Spring's build is a Greene & Greene inspired Adirondack chair.
Though it's a thing of beauty, I'm sad to say I won't be building along due to other time commitments. Don't let that stop you though. It's a community build second to none. You owe it to yourself and your woodworking to give it a try.
excuse for a Winter 2011 Guild Build project.
Now joint the Guild and get to work on that beautiful chair.

An emotionally and sexually intimate partnership is, for many people, a school of love, writes Savitri Hensman. This is not as romantic as it might sound: fearfulness, selfishness, rivalry and other negative traits may surface, and hard work may be needed to overcome these. Yet this can be a path to spiritual growth, which may manifest itself in small ways or through acts of heroic altruism. Such relationships, whether between opposite-sex or same-sex partners, can help to bring forth good fruit.
The Christian thinktank Ekklesia says that the new 'Equal Love Campaign', with legal challenges aimed at securing the right to same-sex marriage and heterosexual civil partnerships, highlight once more the "long overdue" need to overhaul the system of marriage law in the UK.
The papers are full of Anglican argument once more. The presenting issues, as usual, are sex and gender. But why?
A heterosexual couple are planning legal action after their application for a civil partnership was rejected this morning. They say that both civil marriage and civil partnership should be options for any couple, whether same-sex or mixed-sex.
In the latest challenge to what many see as unfair marriage laws, a straight couple are attempting to register for a civil partnership. They say that a choice of marriage or civil partnership should be open to all couples, regardless of sexuality.

One of the best things about the holidays is the occasion to get together with friends, raise a glass, and celebrate the season. Who doesn't love a festive drink and sweet treat?! I recently joined a group of Chicago blogger friends for a night of holiday-themed fun, along with White Elephant Designs. The online boutique stocks the cutest monogrammed items, home decor, jewelry and more. (You may recall these tassel earrings!).

Due to an immense amount of technical debt Mitel built into their system, Mitel staff had a difficult time making the most simple updates to their site. Complicating this were a bevy of code per node instances and bot attacks that were negatively impacting the performance of the site. Zivtech came in and served as the first line of defense in monitoring, intervening, and advising on solutions that greatly improved the loadtime of their site.
A rebuild of their blog and related content areas vastly enhanced and streamlined Mitel's marketing and sales endeavors. Improvements centered around third party integrations, price quoting estimators, lead generation, and higher visibility for events.
We helped Mitel develop an internal partnership management system that manages over 4,000 different vendor partnerships. We also improved the workflow around translating their site and maintaining brand cohesion across 8 different languages in over 100 different countries.

Today the CCPA released a new big picture report by myself and student researcher Amanda Card calling for a Green Industrial Revolution. The report builds on work done for the BC-focused Climate Justice Project, bringing to bear a national analysis of green and not-so-green jobs. We take a close look at GHG emissions and employment […]

The Weyburn, Saskatchewan carbon capture and storage (CCS) project has sprung big leaks, and with it the argument that CCS can make dirty fossil fuels clean. The core idea behind CCS is taking CO2 emissions and piping them back underground where they are supposed to stay, forever. In the case of Weyburn, the CO2 comes […]

Today CCPA released a new report by myself and Ken Carlaw, an economist at UBC-Okanagan, called Climate Justice, Green Jobs and Sustainable Production in BC. I doubt you'll see any headlines about it in the major news dailies, but I think it will have a longer-lasting impact as a key economic framing piece for our […]

I was intrigued by a quote in a recent Globe Foundation report on BC's green economy that BC has 1000 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves, a "low carbon resource opportunity for both transportation and for export to other economies around the world." Converting to metric, and using BC government emission factors for combusting […]

The BC government recently announced a new climate action of some consequence: the phasing out of the Burrard Thermal plant in Metro Vancouver. The unit was used largely for back-up purposes, producing electricity for BC Hydro to supplement hydropower during times of high demand. But at a large GHG cost per unit of energy — […]

Depending on who you talk to, carbon capture and storage (CCS) is either the face of climate salvation or the height of delusional behaviour associated with our favourite hallucinogenic drug, fossil fuels. I have read both cases and suspect that the truth is somewhere in between, but I'm not an engineer either so it has […]

Back in my home province, a legislative committee has begun a public inquiry on meeting future electricity demand. Written submissions and video of oral presentations are available online. Saskatchewan's traditional reliance on coal-fired electricity is challenged by concerns about climate change and the prospect of federal charges for carbon emissions. The debate has recently been […]

A well-intentioned article in the Vancouver Sun seeks to explain carbon taxes and cap-and-trade systems. A worthy objective, but the article really aims to pigeonhole various alternatives in terms of political parties. It ends up taking a far-too-simplified view that goes something like this: The debate is being played out in British Columbia, where the […]

The federal Budget kicked in a rather hefty $240 Million subsidy to a proposed new SaskPower coal-fired power plant that will demonstrate CCS technology. Perhaps this is a good thing which should be welcomed – climate change activists sound vaguely impressed – but I wonder if we should be so heavily subsidizing CCS, as opposed […]

Just as each marriage is unique, each divorce case is different and requires a custom approach. Some firms treat each client the same as the last in a cookie-cutter fashion without giving them the individual care and attention they deserve. Divorce is an emotional rollercoaster and your lawyer should be there to support you as well as to guide you through this difficult legal process. That is why the legal team at Coontz Cochran focuses on the needs of each client individually and tailors services to meet their needs.
At our firm, you will receive the full attention of your attorney as they thoroughly study your case. We pride ourselves on our detailed preparation, which ensures that our clients are represented from every possible angle. Since each family law case is different, we are prepared to be aggressive and fight relentlessly for child custody or spousal support on your behalf as necessary, or to be understanding and supportive through a difficult dissolution. We excel in knowing which approach to take for the best interest of our clients and their children and can determine a strategy that will fit your individual needs. A lawyer from our legal team could skillfully counsel and represent you no matter what divorce issue you may be facing.
In 1990, attorneys Greg Coontz and John Neill opened the doors of their new firm, then known as Coontz & Neill. In the beginning they took almost any client, paying or not, and struggled to make the firm a success. Eventually it started to thrive and, five years later, moved into its current building. Coontz later became Board Certified in personal injury trial law and civil trial law, and Neill was appointed Judge of the 18th District Court of Johnson County by the Governor of Texas, where he continues to preside with distinction.
At that point, the firm changed its name to The Law Office of J. Greg Coontz and continued forward until Jeff Cochran joined in 1999. Cochran became a partner six years later, and the firm changed its name once more to Coontz Cochran. Today, the firm has garnered much respect and recognition for its services, including divorce and family law.
If you need a Johnson County divorce lawyer, contact us today to discuss your options. Lawyers from our team have more than 40 years of combined experience.

By BRIAN JENNINGS
The Lady Knights (7-1) came into the 2016 season with a streak of 70 games, needing just eight games to tie Seymour's state record of 78 games. However that streak came to an end at home on Monday, April 25 when Fitch (8-0) defeated Southington, 2-0.
Win streak ends
After four scoreless innings, Fitch's Nalissa Lynn Amar led the Falcons off with a double that came from the help of an outfield error. Amar came around to score after the Knights committed an infield error, as Cassie Woods safely made it to first base.
Later in the inning with two outs, Fitch's pitcher, Caroline Taber, drove in Woods on an RBI double, giving the Falcons a two-run advantage.
"It's just been a long-awaited matchup, and we came today," said Fitch head coach, Arielle Cooper. "We're here, we won, and it was a good day for us."
Cooper said that Fitch has been asking to play Southington for a few years prior, but the game never fit into the teams' schedules. The Falcons lost to No. 20 North Haven by a run, 2-1, in last year's Class L championship game as the top seed in the tournament.
"Davina [Hernandez] gave us the chance to come out this year, and I couldn't be happier," said Cooper. "I think we need this for our season. Coming off of last season's loss, this is something that's going to prepare us to propel throughout the end of the year."
And when the Falcons were approached about the streak, Cooper said that she really didn't tell her girls about it.
"I'm sure my girls heard about it, but I didn't tell them that we're going to come out and end their streak," said Cooper. "That's not what this is about. This is just a softball game, and that's what we came to play today. I've been impressed with Southington for the last three years. She's [Hernandez] done a great job with these girls."
Both teams totaled just three hits apiece in the game. Southington committed three errors and Fitch committed two. That was the difference.
Brenna Sarantides went 4.7 innings in the circle for the Knights, striking out two with two hits and two walks. Kara Zazzaro closed the game out, throwing two strikeouts and allowing a hit and a walk.
Taber pitched a complete game for the Falcons, tossing 11 strikeouts.
"We were very timid," said Hernandez. "The only pitches we swung at for the first five innings were changeups. We didn't swing at any fastballs or curveballs. Those are our pitches that we normally hit. As the game started going though, we started swinging the bats a little bit more and looked more like ourselves, but it was too late."
Hernandez said that she didn't want her team to go the rest of this season with all of the pressure, even if they had won the game against Fitch.
"They're kids, and at the end of the day the pressure's not on me. It's on them," said Hernandez. "And that's a lot. I'm so proud of them regardless because they've done things that no team has ever done in Connecticut. They have so much to be proud of."
Although the streak outweighed the implications of the game, Hernandez said that her team still learned a lot from the loss and that records are meant to be broken. She said the Knights will move on from the loss.
"Our senior class was freshmen when we had that loss to Bristol Central, and then it really ticked them off," said the coach. "But for the rest of those three years, we didn't lose a game. We have a lot to work on, but I also have high a lot of high hopes for this team. What happens after this loss is what's really going to determine what our team is going to be like this year."
The last time the Knights lost a game was a 4-3 loss at Bristol Central in the spring of 2013. The loss against Fitch was Hernandez's first loss as the head coach of the Knights since taking the program over in the spring of 2014.
Surviving Torrington
A week prior, Southington went nine innings at Torrington (6-4) on Monday, April 18, but prevailed in a 5-2 triumph.
The Knights took a 2-0 lead after the first four innings, but the Red Raiders rallied back to tied the game at 2-2 with two runs in the bottom of the seventh.
In the top of the ninth, the Knights loaded the bases with one out and Janette Wadolowski drove in Michelle Woodruff and Natalie Wadolowski, eventually coming around to score on a base hit by Zazzaro.
Wadolowski went 3-for-4 with four RBI, two runs scored a homerun, and a triple.
Sarantides started the game and went six and two thirds innings, firing 12 strikeouts and allowing four walks, three hits, and two earned runs. Zazzaro was credited with the win by closing the game out with four strikouts.
The Knights totaled five hits and committed one error. Torrington totaled three hits and committed one error.
Glastonbury shutout
The next day, Southington ventured across the river to Glastonbury (3-3) where they shutout the Tomahawks, 8-0. The Knights did most of the damage in the early going of the game, putting up four runs in the first inning and three in the third.
Frankie Ferrante went 2-for-2 with a RBI. Sarantides pitched four innings and threw nine strikeouts, allowing a hit and a walk. Zazzaro came in relief of Sarantides to close out the contest with eight strikeouts, allowing a hit and walk as well.
Southington tallied six hits and committed one error. Glastonbury tallied two hits and committed two errors.
Showing Hall no mercy
On Thursday, Southington's trip home game against Hall (0-4) lasted just five innings as the Knights mercy-ruled the Warriors, 16-0. The Knights posted five runs in the first inning, six in the second, and four in the fourth.
Woodruff went 3-for-3 with two runs scored and a RBI. Amanda Delorme went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and a RBI. Emily Mankus went 2-for-2 with three runs scored, a RBI, and a walk. Natalie Wadolowski went 2-for-2 with two RBI, a run scored, and a walk. Janette Wadolowski went 2-for-4 with three RBI and a run scored. Maighread Scafariello went 2-for-3 with two runs scored, a RBI, a walk, and a sacrifice fly.
The Knights will look to get back on track this week when they travel to Farmington (4-4) on Wednesday, April 27, Weaver (1-2) on Thursday, April 28, and Bristol Central (6-2) on Friday, April 29.
Southington is currently fourth in the Class LL rankings behind Cheshire (9-0), NFA (8-0), and Conard (7-1).

Winning the lottery is supposed to be a once in a lifetime event, but one man in Western Australia is ripping up the rule book.
In the last five years, the gentleman – who wishes to remain anonymous – has won the Division 1 Lotto six times. So, what's the secret to his success? Syndicates.
The Maddington man's most recent win in November – a $658,000 (around €560,000) prize – is to be shared amongst 12 others in his syndicate group.
"The secret is in syndicates. Not only do I increase my chances of winning but the cost is shared among 12 of us so it's a relatively cheap way to play." He said in an interview with PerthNow.
The man, who is in his 50s, estimates that he's won close to half a million dollars since starting his syndicate strategy.
While he has no qualms about sharing the winning jackpot with others, there is one person he wishes it could keep it away from.
"My wife." He said, laughing quietly.
"Why Should You Join a LottoSpring Syndicate Group?"
1. More Chances of Winning
Thanks to having a share in a greater number of tickets, your chances of walking away as a winner increases substantially.
2. You Don't Have to Leave the House to Play
The winter weather is kicking in across large parts of the Northern Hemisphere, so the last thing most of us fancy is a walk to the shops to buy a lottery ticket. Why not stay in the warm indoors and play online with LottoSpring instead?
3. It's More Fun to Win With Others
Winning is more fun when you're part of a team. If you win the jackpot, it won't just be your life that gets changed for the better, but the lives of every member of your syndicate.
4. It's Cheaper
Buying a couple of single lottery tickets per week can quickly add up to a substantial yearly spend. With LottoSpring, you have the chance to win 177 times in a week from as little as €8.25.

Mitt Romney says that 47 percent of Americans refuse to "take personal responsibility" for their own lives, consider themselves "victims," and are "dependent" on government. Included in this 47 percent are millions of elderly Americans who benefit from Social Security and Medicare, young Americans trying to finish college with the help of student loans, soldiers deployed overseas, and those who have served our country and receive Veterans benefits. These comments are a clear example of two things that are very wrong in American politics today: the dividing of Americans for political gain and the demonization of social programs that help millions of Americans take part in the American Dream.
When I was 14, my dad lost his job and my family nearly lost everything. I was the only member of my family able to find work -- at minimum wage. Food Stamps helped keep me from going hungry and Pell grants helped me go to college. It was the combination of hard work and a hand up that allowed me to become one of the first women to fly in combat missions and achieve my American Dream. I am just one of the overwhelming majority of Americans who is responsible and hard-working, and at one point in their life benefited greatly from government programs such as student loans, Medicare and Social Security.
Mitt Romney, and my opponent Congressman Joe Walsh, paint a picture of millions of American refusing to "take responsibility" in order to make it more reasonable to destroy a program like Medicare. Student Loans, Social Security and Medicare make a difference in the lives of working families every day, and the conversation that should be taking place is how we can save these programs, not weaken them.
America currently faces serious challenges that are squeezing working families and jeopardizing the American Dream. These problems are not the result of the irresponsibility of average Americans, but the failure of those in Washington to listen to each other and have an honest conversation about our country's future. By working together to bring about reforms like closing unnecessary tax loopholes, cutting waste in the defense budget and removing fraud from Medicare, we can reduce the deficit and save programs that mean so much to working families. But in order to work together and listen to each other, we need to stop talking about the 47 percent, one percent and 99 percent and acknowledge that we are all in this together.

text: Last week's thankful-for-coffee winner of The Possibilities of Sainthood by Donna Freitas is... Jamie! Send me your address, J.This week, I'm giving away a copy of Sarah MacLean's The Season. Some of you may have read this one already, but if you haven't, you should know that it's a treat! Think the London Season (i.e. social debut time) in Regency England, three whip-smart girls who are BFFs, dashing suitors and a murder. Love, mystery, friendship, witty banter... what more is there in life? The Season is a bubbly ride from beginning to end. I could hear the accents in my head as I read. Such fun! Also, Sarah does these great interviews on her blog called "Inside the Characters' Studio" where she interviews book characters. The lastest is Paris Pan from Cynthea Liu's Paris Pan Takes the Dare. To enter to win, let me know in the comments which era you best love reading or writing about. For me, I'm all contemporary in the writing--and I mostly read contemporary novels too--but I think it's really fun to dip into historical fiction like The Season, and even futuristic novels (Scott Westerfeld's Uglies series is one of my favorites). You guys? I'll announce a winner and a new contest next Wednesday, as usual. Good luck!

Artopia 2015
Jumper had a marvelous time participating in the Houston Press event, Artopia. Jumper and his troupe were invited to the preview party at the incredible venue, 1919 Wine & Mixology. Once at the preview party Jumper and the troupe mingled with fellow art enthusiasts; there were lots of laughs, photos and very interesting conversations with even more interesting individuals. A few days after Artopia's preview party Jumper ventured off to Belize and left his troupe in charge. Artopia was held at the locally famous Winter Street Studios. Since Jumper Maybach acquired the VIP room for the event, he entrusted the art selection to his troupe. A little over 25 pieces were selected for the VIP room, all from his most recent works of art to some of his earlier pieces. The event was a huge success! With more than 1,000 people in attendance at the event, of which 250-300 were all VIP guests, Artopia was the place to be. Jumper's troupe made great connections at the event and were also able to spread not just Jumper's name but as well as his message to the world. Jumper received incredible feedback for his work and even ideas for new pieces art. Overall, the event was a blast and Jumper couldn't be any more pleased; until next time Artopia!

During the decade from January 2000 through December 2009, the U.S. government imposed 164 antidumping measures on a variety of products from dozens of countries. A total of 130 of those 164 measures restricted (and in most cases, still restrict) imports of intermediate goods and raw materials used by downstream U.S. producers in the production of their final products. Those restrictions raise the costs of production for the downstream firms, weakening their capacity to compete with foreign producers in the United States and abroad.Here's my favorite part:
In all of those cases, trade-restricting antidumping measures were imposed without any of the downstream companies first having been afforded opportunities to demonstrate the likely adverse impact on their own business operations. This is by design. The antidumping statute forbids the administering authorities from considering the impact of prospective duties on consuming industries—or on the economy more broadly—when weighing whether or not to impose duties.
That asymmetry has always been insane, but given the emergence and proliferation of transnational production and supply chains and cross-border investment (i.e., globalization)—evidenced by the fact that 55% of all U.S. import value consists of raw materials, intermediate goods, and capital equipment (the purchases of U.S. producers)—it is now nothing short of self-flagellation.
If you need more evidence that the antidumping status quo is weighted heavily against import-consuming U.S. industries, consider this gem: three of the nine mineral raw materials that are the subject of the U.S. case against China in the WTO (magnesium, silicon metal, and coke) are simultaneously subject to U.S antidumping restrictions. That's right! With our own import restricitons firmly in place, the United States is suing China to remove its export restrictions on the same products. That sounds like an excellent use of resources.And here's the paper's basic conclusions:
The NEI should include a serious commitment to antidumping reform. At a minimum, consuming industries should be given legal standing to participate fully in antidumping proceedings, antidumping measures should be rejected if the projected costs of those restrictions on those firms and on the broader economy exceed some reasonable threshold, and any duties applied should not exceed the level found necessary to remedy injury to the petitioning domestic industry.Be sure to read the whole thing here.
