Pascack Hills turns the tables on Dumont in state tournament opener by Rich Barton of northjerseysports.com
DUMONT – This spring has been quite a roller coaster ride for the Pascack Hills softball team. There have been many ups and downs throughout the regular season, including several games the Cowgirls would like to have back. Two games that really stick out were losses to Dumont by a combined score of 13-4. The state tournament provided an opportunity for redemption as Pascack Hills got a third shot at the Huskies and made the most of it.
Jaydn Sullivan kept the Huskies off-balance all game long and Taylor Harris' two-run single broke the game open as the third time was the charm for 10th-seeded Pascack Hills, which kept its season alive with a 7-1 win in the first round of the North 1, Group 2 state tournament over seventh-seeded Dumont at Columbia Street Field.
Pascack Hills fell behind in their first two meetings with Dumont and never recovered. This time the Cowgirls set the tone by having quality at-bats right from the start of the game. Sullivan helped her own cause with a single to leadoff the game and Harris followed with a sacrifice bunt. Izzy Frangiola's double to right drove home courtesy runner Alyssa Brown for a 1-0 lead.
"We showed a lot of energy right from the beginning and that helped us out in the long run," said Sullivan, "We got that first run and even after they tied it I was able to stay calm. The defense made some great plays behind me and it made it easier for me to focus on throwing strikes and hitting my spots."
Kelsey Boyhen's second inning home run got Dumont even at 1.
Dumont needed just one swing of the bat to get that run back. With two outs in the bottom of the second inning Dumont's Kelsey Boyhen hit a long homerun to left to make it 1-1. Following Boyhen's HR Sullivan allowed a single before using her effective off-speed pitches to her advantage. She retired the next 15 batters she faced only to be matched by hard-throwing Husky Eva Eder, who had a stretch of retiring 14 straight batters.
With each team's season on the line and both pitchers locked in it was apparent that one of these teams would need to catch a few breaks to get going offensively. Pascack Hills caught those breaks and then some in the top half of the fifth inning. With two outs and nobody on the Cowgirls hit three consecutive ground balls that glanced off of the gloves of the Husky infielders. A couple of inches each way and the Huskies are out of the inning. Instead the bases were loaded for Casey Funesti and she delivered. Her seeing-eye single back through the box scored the go-ahead run for Pascack Hills.
The lead was still a tenuous one-run advantage before the Cowgirls opened it up in the sixth. With the bases loaded and one out Sullivan worked out a walk to bring home one run and send Harris up to the plate. She broke the game open by lining an outside fastball to right-center to plate Sam Chin and Kristen Brown for a 5-1 lead.
Pascack Hills Jadyn Sullivan allowed just four hits with one walk and six Ks. She helped her own cause by going 2-for-3 at the plate with three RBIs.
"I just wanted to hit the ball hard and find a gap," said Harris. "With the bases loaded being loaded I felt like I'd get something to hit and I just went with the pitch."
Sullivan tacked on two more runs with a single in the seventh inning and was cruising along before the Huskies made one last stand by loading the bases with two outs in the bottom of the seventh. The right-hander buckled down and got a ground ball to Kristen Brown at second to end the game, giving Pascack Hills its first state tournament win since 2014.
Sullivan was tough from start to finish for Pascack Hills (13-8). She allowed just four hits with one walk and six K's. She helped her own cause by going 2-for-3 at the plate with three RBIs. Chin chipped in with two hits, two runs scored, and a pair of nice catches in right field.
Boyhen had two of the four hits for Dumont (16-8).
Pascack Hills will face a tall order in the North 1 Group 2 quarterfinals on Monday. The Cowgirls will take a long bus ride to face second-seeded Vernon, whose pitcher through a no-hitter on Thursday in a first-round win over Westwood. But with everything to gain and nothing to lose against an unfamiliar opponent they plan to let it all hang out and see if they can pull off another upset.
"When we know the team we're playing we tend to get in our own heads a little too much," added Sullivan. "I think playing a team that we really don't know anything about and they don't anything about us will help give us a chance to win. I think if bring the same energy and play like we played today that we can definitely get it done."

ON Christmas Day, Hollywood will blanket America with a most unlikely holiday entertainment. That's when "Up in the Air," the acclaimed new movie starring George Clooney, will spread from its big-city engagements to more than 2,000 screens. Clooney plays Ryan Bingham, a corporate road warrior for a small, Omaha-based contractor hired to lay off employees for companies that prefer to outsource that unpleasant task. Ryan has fired so many people in so many cities that he is approaching a frequent-flier status unknown to all but a few Americans.
How could a film with that premise be a Christmas hit in a country reeling from the highest unemployment rate in decades? By using the power of pop culture to salve national wounds that continue to fester in the real world.
"Up in the Air" is not a political movie. It won't be mistaken for either a Michael Moore or Ayn Rand polemic on capitalism. What makes it tick is Ryan's struggle to reclaim his own humanity, a story that will not be described or spoiled here. But the film's backdrop is just as primal and these days perhaps more universal than the personal drama so movingly atomized by Clooney in the foreground.
Here is an America whose battered inhabitants realize that the economic deck is stacked against them, gamed by distant, powerful figures they can't see or know. "Up in the Air" may be a glossy production sprinkled with laughter and sex, but it captures the distinctive topography of our Great Recession as vividly as a far more dour Hollywood product of 70 years ago, "The Grapes of Wrath," did the vastly different landscape of the Great Depression.
While "Up in the Air" opens with a remix of Woody Guthrie's Depression-spawned "This Land Is Your Land," its dispossessed Americans don't resemble those in a black-and-white Dorothea Lange photograph. They're not the familiar contemporary blue-collar factory workers in our devastated manufacturing economy. They are instead mostly middle-class refugees from the suburban good life depicted in credit card ads. Their correlative to the Dust Bowl is a coast-to-coast wasteland of foreclosed office spaces where desk chairs and knots of dead phones lie abandoned in a fluorescent half-light. "Up in the Air" taps into the desperation, fear and anger that both the populist left and right are trying to articulate right now, and that leaders of both parties have failed to address.
"Retailers are down 20 percent," Ryan's boss tells his troops in a conference room. "Auto industry is in the dump. Housing market doesn't have a heartbeat. It is one of the worst times on record for America. This is our moment." And so it is. In constant flight from hub to hub, his staff parachutes into troubled companies to lay off dozens of workers with impressive assembly-line efficiency. The genial Ryan and his fellow "transition specialists" never use the word "fired," of course. They tell employees they are being "let go" and not to "take it personally." They hand their prey slick-looking severance packets and, with a doctor's bedside manner, intone that "we're here to talk about the future." Soon it's time to send the discarded employee to collect his personal effects on the way to the exit.
A new colleague of Ryan's, a "dynamite young woman" from Cornell, comes up with an innovative strategy for downsizing the downsizers. To eliminate travel costs, she proposes that in-person firings instead be executed long-distance by teleconference, with ranks of "termination engineers" at computer screens reciting from a script titled "Employee Termination Workflow." In a dry run, the guinea pig is a burly 57-year-old office worker who refuses to stay in the camera frame and staggers off in a paroxysm of anger and sobs. It's like watching a man being assassinated by a predator drone. But this is Detroit, not Waziristan.
The fictional doings in "Up in the Air," adapted from a 2001 novel by Walter Kirn, are bookended by brief montages culled from interviews that the director, Jason Reitman, conducted with real-life laid-off workers while shooting in Detroit and St. Louis. He asked the interviewees what they had told or wished they had told the H.R. bureaucrats who let them go. "On the stress level, I've heard that losing your job is like a death in the family," says one man. "But personally I feel more like the people I worked with were my family, and I died."
In rolling out his latest jobs initiative last week, President Obama said, "Sometimes it's hard to break out of the bubble here in Washington and remind ourselves that behind these statistics are people's lives, their capacity to do right by their families." True enough, and in this movie you see a few of the lives behind the statistics, however fleetingly. But the point of "Up in the Air" is not to deliver the message that mass unemployment is a terrible tragedy. We hardly need a movie or a politician to deliver that news at this late date.
What gives our Great Recession its particular darkness and gives this film its haunting afterlife is the disconnect between the corporate culture that is dictating the firing and the rest of us. In the shorthand of the day, it's the dichotomy between Wall Street and Main Street, though that oversimplifies the divide. This disconnect isn't just about the huge gap in income between the financial sector and the rest of America. Nor is it just about the inequities of a government bailout that rescued the irresponsible bankers who helped crash the economy while shortchanging the innocent victims of their reckless gambles. What "Up in the Air" captures is less didactic. It makes palpable the cultural and even physical chasm that opened up between the two Americas for years before the financial collapse.
The private-equity deal makers who bought and sold once-solid companies like trading cards, saddling them with debt, never saw the workers whose jobs were shredded by their cunning games of financial looting. The geniuses in Washington and on Wall Street who invented junk mortgages and then bundled and sold them as securities didn't live in the same neighborhoods as the mortgagees, small investors and retirees left holding the bag once the housing bubble burst.
Those at the top are separated from the consequences of their actions. They are exemplified by Robert Rubin, formerly of Citigroup and a mentor to both Obama's Treasury secretary and chief economic adviser. He looked the other way when his bank made ruinous high-risk bets, and then cashed out and split, leaving taxpayers to pay for the wreckage while he escaped any accountability. Such economic wise men peer down at the country from a hermetically sealed bubble of privilege and self-interest, much as Ryan does from the plane flying him to his next mass firing. And they tend to think, as Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs notoriously put it, that they are doing "God's work" to sustain our free-market system.
"Mad Men" literally whacked one such executive this season. Its fans loved watching a drunken office-party accident maim a visiting overseer from the British corporation that had swallowed and downsized Sterling Cooper, the show's fictional Madison Avenue ad agency. The episode was set in 1963, but "Mad Men" resonates in part because it prefigures today's corporate culture. One recent plot line dealt with the mercurial machinations of the hotel tycoon Conrad Hilton, a potential client of Sterling Cooper. As coincidental thematic synergy would have it, "Up in the Air" portrays Ryan as an elite cardholder in a "Hilton Honors" program that defines brand "loyalty" with a mercenary zeal the Connie Hilton of "Mad Men" would relish.
Last week Goldman Sachs announced it would grant some of this year's bonuses in stock, not cash, to try to stanch the public backlash to the record profits it piled up thanks to government largess. But Washington remains strangely oblivious to the mood out there. Financial reform has been embattled on Capitol Hill, where the financial industry has spent $344 million on lobbying in the first three quarters of 2009. The big ratings agencies that gave triple-A stamps of approval to Wall Street's junk are back to business as usual. Bank of America and Citi are racing to return TARP money to Washington not because they have necessarily recovered but because they want to shower rewards on their executives with impunity.
The rage engendered by this status quo is across the political map. As unlikely as it sounds, Ron Paul and Jim DeMint, political heroes of the tea party right, and Bernie Sanders and Alan Grayson, similarly revered on the left, have found a common cause in vilifying the Federal Reserve Bank and its chairman, Ben Bernanke. The Fed is hardly the root of all evil, but you can see why it is a handy scapegoat. Like the institutions it failed to police during the boom, it wields its power from on high with little transparency to those below.
Meanwhile, at the company where I work, as at many others, the latest round of layoffs will be completed by Christmas. Even for the survivors it feels a little like serial deaths in the family. And who believes we're near the end of this story? For all of Wall Street's and Washington's rumors of a recovery, the fate of Americans on the ground remains very much up in the air.

Police clash with protesters amid Greek austerity strike
Streiks legen Griechenland lahm
Athen – Massive Streiks gegen den Sparkurs der Regierung in Athen haben am Mittwoch weite Teile Griechenlands lahmgelegt. Zahlreiche Flüge fielen aus, Fähren bleiben in den Häfen, auch Busse und Bahnen sowie die Schulen wurden bestreikt. Die Proteste richten sich gegen die sozialistische Regierung, die im Kampf gegen die massive Staatsverschuldung auch auf Druck der Europäischen Union harte Einschnitte beschlossen hat. Um die Mittagszeit sind mehrere Demonstrationen im Zentrum Athens und in anderen Städten geplant. Die Polizei zog aus Angst vor Krawallen starke Einheiten vor allem in der Hauptstadt zusammen. Im Mai waren bei schweren Ausschreitungen in Athen drei Menschen ums Leben gekommen. Autonome Gruppierungen mischen sich immer wieder unter die Demonstranten und lösen Krawalle aus. 15 December 2010 Last updated at 20:37 GMT
Greek strikers clash with police
A Greek former minister is attacked by protesters who clashed with police during a general strike against austerity measures. Violence erupts in latest Greek strike Violent protests as Greeks strike over austerity cuts
By the CNN Wire Staff
The unions are angry about wage cuts and changes in labor laws
The measures are required under the terms of a May bailout
Hospitals, airlines, courts, and banks are all affected by the strike
Athens, Greece (CNN) -- Huge crowds of protesters, upset about stringent Greek economic reforms, marched past the Greek Parliament in Athens Wednesday as police in white helmets tried to keep them from getting any closer.
The protest march entered Syntagma Square, which lies between the Parliament and Finance Ministry, and then left again just after midday.
Most of the marchers were peaceful, but a small number of violent protesters threw Molotov cocktails that burned two cars outside the upscale King George Palace hotel, which sits on one corner of the square. Police responded with stun grenades and tear gas, and the entire exchange left the square filled with smoke and an acrid smell.
The violent protesters left a trail of burning waste bins and lots of garbage and debris that they had thrown at police. At least one small fire burned briefly about a block away from the square.
Athens police dodge protest fire bombs
After the marchers moved through, however, the tension was mostly over. Police still formed a line around the front of Parliament, but there was no traffic and only small groups of people milled around the square.
Wednesday is the climax of a week full of strikes by the country's unions against changes in labor laws and the introduction of wage cuts.
The new fiscal measures are required under the conditions of the massive bailout Greece received from the International Monetary Fund and European Union in May. The three-year, 110-billion-euro package saved Greece from financial default.
The country's two largest umbrella unions, the GSEE and ADEDY, which represent both the public and private sector, are behind the day of protests, according to Greece's Athens News Agency (ANA).
Public transportation, which came to a standstill in Athens on Tuesday because of a strike by mass transit employees, was expected to run a limited service Wednesday in order to ferry people to and from the protests, ANA reported.
There were no flights all day Wednesday at Athens International Airport, authorities there announced.
Wednesday's strike was also expected to affect state hospitals and health services, airlines, coastal shipping, courts, banks, as well as national and suburban trains, ANA reported. Taxi drivers also called a four-hour work stoppage in the middle of the day.
There will also be a news blackout Wednesday because of a 24-hour strike called by journalists' unions, ANA said. The unions have also called a 48-hour strike for Friday and Saturday.
The ADEDY union says its main demand is for the government to recall the "socially unjust government-imposed measures leading workers and pensioners to poverty and misery."
The financial measures were enacted by the "IMF-EU-ECB troika, the government, and the financially strong," the union said, referring also to the European Central Bank.
"Employees must put an end to the blackmail conditions imposed by speculators," the union said in a statement. "It is 'those in the know' and the rich that must pay for the crisis."
Parliament adopted a law Tuesday diminishing the power of collective labor agreements, making it easier for employers to fire people. It also says hundreds of thousands of employees in the civil sector will be getting a pay cut of 10%.
The new round of austerity measures focuses on structural reforms, particularly in the public sector, which employs more than 20% of the Greek labor force.
Demonstrations are set to continue throughout the week.
The 2011 budget, scheduled to be voted on in parliament on December 22, foresees the deficit declining from 9.4% of GDP to 7.4%. Many of the cuts are focused on the public sector, including public enterprises such as the railways and other forms of public transportation.
Members of the militant left-wing PAME union were also on strike Wednesday. In a statement, they vowed "no sacrifice for the plutocracy" and said the problems facing the Greek economy were not created by the people, but by "greedy capitalists."
"We strike because the EU, the International Monetary Fund, the government lead us to poverty, unemployment; they continuously load us with new burdens," PAME said. "They abolish the collective agreements; they further reduce our salaries and day-wages."
Journalists Elinda Labropoulou and John Psaropoulos contributed to this report.

Rich BCCI goofs up on India vs Australia, South Africa fixtures
Indian cricket team's limited overs home series against Australia cricket team is less than a fortnight away, but the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is yet to officially announce the dates and venues of the five ODIs and three T20 matchescricket Updated: Sep 06, 2017 11:01 IST
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) may be the world's richest cricket body but its dodgy ways can even flummox Sherlock Holmes. With the limited overs home series against Australia less than a fortnight away, the Indian cricket board is yet to officially announce the dates and venues of the five ODI and three T20 series.
On Tuesday, England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced its 2018 summer schedule with every detail of India's marathon tour from July to September.
This is not the first time BCCI has kept millions of fans guessing by its unprofessional approach in fixing the schedule of home series.
It also has the propensity to spring surprises by including unscheduled bilateral series to satisfy the needs of its commercial partners.
In August, the BCCI hastily announced the home winter series against Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka. The series against Lanka was unscheduled. It has impacted the series against South Africa.
The sloppy attitude of the BCCI, which was perhaps more keen on counting its big bucks from the IPL media rights, have led to logistics issues. This includes satisfying cricket associations which prefer specific matches and dates.
Constant problem
This has been a perennial problem for the Board. Last year too, it had to switch games between venues.
Head of the Committee of Administrators, Vinod Rai told Hindustan Times, "I agree we need to have more clarity in future (while planning series). But we will sort out this season's dates by September 8."
The BCCI, it has been learnt, has often fallen prey to broadcasters' demands, calling for matches and series even at short notice. This season's scheduling is also a result of that.
In 2013-14, when the N Srinivasan-led BCCI had pushed for the Big Three model at the ICC, the Indian board had envisaged having a permanent home season during the winters.
However, that has not materialised till now, leaving a lack of clarity over scheduling, often forcing the season to start early like over these past two years.
Lack of clarity
BCCI's dilly-dallying and lack of clarity has once again impacted its relationship with Cricket South Africa. South Africa wanted India to play the Boxing Day Test (December 26).
However, India's home commitments end only on December 24.
"We had issues with CSA over the Boxing Day Test, that is why there was no clarity over South Africa series," said Rai.
Australia play five ODIs and three T20Is between September 17 and October 11.

54 Teacher Appreciation Ideas for Teacher Appreciation Week May 1st through 5th.
54 Ways To Show Teacher Appreciation
Need some inspiration for teacher appreciation? This guide is a collection of our best ideas, with links to lots of free printables and other tools.
When it comes to showing teachers you care, it truly is the thought that counts. We've rounded up our favorite teacher appreciation ideas, both grand and simple, for easy browsing. You'll find ideas for luncheon themes, cute gift tags, and much more.
Teacher Appreciation Week is the first full week in May (this year, May 1-5). It's a great time to honor teachers (and don't forget the school staff). But teacher appreciation doesn't have to be a one-time effort. Showing appreciation to staff members throughout the school year can lift spirits and enhance your PTO's relations with teachers. Use our Teacher Appreciation Planning Tools to help get started.
Student Projects
Ask students to help create gifts their teachers will treasure. Purchase an inexpensive autograph book and ask students to write thank-you notes for their teacher inside. Or you can have students write thank-you notes and give them to the teacher along with a classroom photo.
For the Classroom
Many teachers spend hundreds of dollars of their own money each year on classroom supplies. That means that school supplies and classroom items are always welcome gifts. Add a heartfelt message and the gift will be appreciated even more.
Free or Cheap
Most schools have dozens of employees, which means that teacher and staff appreciation costs can add up quickly. Parent groups can keep expenses down with free or low-cost efforts. Check out our list of no-cost appreciation ideas or download inspirational quotes about teaching to share on your group's Facebook page or post around the school. You can also create your own cards or flyers with images from our Clip Art Gallery.
Lift Teachers' Spirits
Sometimes all it takes is a small bottle of lotion or a nice plant to make a person feel pampered. These gift ideas are for the teacher's own use, whether in their classroom or at home.
Both healthy snacks and sweet treats are popular teacher appreciation gifts. Our collection of printables includes the popular Candy Poem, as well as punny or touching gift tags that can be attached to small gifts like cupcakes or crackers.
Work with the principal to arrange a teacher breakfast or an extended teacher lunch break. In addition to the food, teachers will enjoy the meal as a chance to socialize with coworkers. Use the Staff Appreciation Meal Checklist from the planning tools to help organize.
Help Teachers Out
One thing teachers never have enough of is time. Your PTO can help teachers by arranging for parent volunteers to cover some school-day duties like playground supervision or by offering to help with routine tasks like dropping off and picking up dry cleaning or washing car windows. Kids can also pitch in with coupons offering to help keep the classroom in order.
Gift Cards
When you're not sure what to get a teacher, a gift card is a safe bet. You can create a crafty gift card bouquet or print out these clever gift card holders.
Say Thanks All Year Long
Think about ways to show teachers some appreciation throughout the school year. You can start with a small gift that has a back-to-school message on the tag. It's also helpful to survey teachers around the start of the school year about their favorite foods, stores, sports teams, and more. Share the results with classroom parents so families can give the teacher more personal gifts.
Best Practices for Teacher Appreciation
Many parent groups go all out for Teacher Appreciation Week (observed the first full week of May), but there's no need to wait so long to say thank-you. Showing appreciation to staff members throughout the school year can lift spirits and enhance your PTO's relations with teachers.
While you're showing teachers appreciation, be sure to extend recognition to other staff members, too. If honoring all staff members at once is too expensive, consider recognizing a different department each month.
Don't go overboard. Even small gifts add up when you need to have dozens of them. It's better to keep things simple than to blow your budget. Teachers will appreciate the thoughtfulness of the gesture more than how much time or money was spent on it.

Who Wore it Better? Jun Ji Hyun vs. Ha Ji Won
The oriental look that embraces the mystery of The East has progressed season after season as it has been attempted by many fashion designers. The elaborate pattern and a moderate design create a delicate harmony capturing the hearts of many fashionistas.
Two actresses, both receiving much love from their roles in their dramas, dressed in an oriental look dress. Jun Ji Hyun wore the dress in the September issue of Vogue, and Ha Ji Won wore the same dress at the production presentation of MBC's "Empress Ki" held last October.
The dress was made in collaboration between Christian Dior and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. It is a white tube dress with a feminine draping with an oriental floral print on it. It is a limited edition, and was not sold in Korea.
Jun Ji Hyun modeled the dress in retro style. It is a style reminiscent of a Hollywood actress from the 1920s. She put on a long grey coat over the white dress to achieve a chic look, and crossing her legs emphasizing her slender legs. The big and fancy white hairpiece and the retro wavy hair completed the look.
Ha Ji Won looked elegant and sexy in the dress. The tight fit of the tube dress highlighted her voluminous bodyline. Her long straight hair also gave off an innocent and pure image. Her firm legs were shown through the slit on the side of the dress. She matched the dress with a pair of nude colored heels completing the style with a graceful and clean image.
Which actress wore it better?

They presented a proposal to the Minister for National Planning, Richard Maru, on August 21st for phase 2 of the development of cardiac services at PMGH and the country as a whole. The proposal also covered in detail the steps that need to be put in place to fully establish the cardiac services.
"This achievement can only be described as a dream come true for our people who are unable to afford such service abroad and many have succumbed due to the non-availability of such service in the public hospital in PNG," Dr Tapaua said.

Hello readers, is cleaning out your closet one of your new year #goals? I've written about Poshmark, but I also use/have used eBay, Amazon, and Mercari. Obviously, they have different experiences especially depending on what you sell and how much time is dedicated. I'm just someone who is trying to clean out my (non-name brand) closet, so I'm not making a living. I just wanted … Continue reading How to Sell Online (Mercari, eBay, Amazon)

Just to change topics for a while.
Talking about stuff we all know, such as Red Bull, Voest Alpine Steel, Glock 9mm, Sacher Torte and Mozart, finally one of our real traditional Austrian assets made it and seems to hit mainstream North America as well as modern day communication technology on a worldwide level:
Have a look at this Jimmy Fallon sketch shot in New York City a while ago. Really awesome stuff.
And – we love it. Enjoy.

Congratulations to Hannahlei, America's (and my) favourite dancer.
For lovers of So You Think You Can Dance I took these photographs during the broadcast just over a week ago of the exquisite Jacque Le Warne dancing a pas de deux with allstar Chehon Wespi-Tschopp. They were choreographed by the brilliant Travis Wall and were dancing to the Adagio for TRON by Daft Punk. If you saw this magical performance, which was made even more magical by their silhouettes, I'm sure you will agree that it was sublime in every way; true Poetry in Motion….
If you are fans of So You Think You Can Dance as we are, you will have seen the audition by Deise Mendonca and Mauricio Vera that simply took ones breath away. These few photos that I took during last week's broadcast demonstrate that the question SYTYCD really does not apply to these two wonderful artists whose love for each other and for dance leaps from the screen.
They danced Le grand pas de deux from Act II of Le Corsaire, music by Riccardo Drigo, and played here by The Evergreen Symphony Orchestra.
Simply Sublime

Fiona & Sinclair
This has to be one of my favourite weddings that I shot last year. Fiona & Sinclair met later on in life. Prompted by their daughters to meet someone new, they met on a well known online dating site. Sinclair was nervous asking Fiona to marry him as Fiona had protested that she'd never do it again. The day was filled with much love and happiness. Not only was this a marriage celebration, but with family living in various parts of world it was a chance for all to be reunited.
It just goes to show your never too old to meet someone new… x

Carl George, a widely read theoretician of a small-group method of promoting church growth among evangelical Christians, has written:
"Some denominations, like the Presbyterians, Lutherans, and Episcopalians, have become captive to the upper middle class. How does a church keep these often materialistic, high-power people interested and involved? One solution is to offer them a seat on the church board, or after that's filled, to place them on a significant committee, giving them veto-making authority in order to meet their power needs. In some smaller churches, up to half the adult membership is involved in one of these groups."
Perhaps this evangelical leader's words raise our defenses with their mention of class, values, and power. It may bother us to read his sweeping, even accusatory, dismissal of what has become conventional wisdom about new-member retention...I find myself agreeing with Carl George's observations. People come to our congregations looking for bread. We tend to give them the stones of busyness and pseudo-power. Sometimes they return the favor by holding onto that power for dear life, squeezing the stone for blood in all the petty, power-driven ways so familiar in congregations. They turn the attention and expand the resources of religious community on the wrong concerns, and they damage their own and other people's spirits in the process. All the while...they keep everything the same...
--from Letting Go: Transforming Congregations for Ministry by Roy Phillips
There's an old academic phrase that committees are where good ideas go to die, and that the politics of them are so bloodthirsty because the stakes are so small. Both these are perfectly apt when it comes to congregational boards, maybe among UUs even more so.
I've seen many fine ideas full of wonder and excitement dwell in board limbo for so long and, if they emerge, do so in such a watered-down form, the person who initially suggested them and who might recognize them will have already left the church for somewhere (she hopes) more accommodating. The sad truth of it is nowhere else will likely be more accommodating: moving from one UU congregation to another, or even to another liberal church, is no less likely to end up sucking the fresh idea dry.
This is because our boards work best on a representational democratic principle. While it avoids the excesses of direct democracy--everyone gets to have his say, no matter how long it may take--it nonetheless still requires everyone to speak on it, find issues with it, make suggestions to it, and hack it into portions to suit as many factions as possible before it's funded or agreed to. To paraphrase Churchill, this is the worst way of operating a board except for all the others that have been tried.
But for me the meat of the quote lies in the evangelist's description of liberal faiths' having "become captive to the upper middle class." To determine the truth of this look no further than the time a majority of churches offer services. Is there anyone outside the traditional power base for whom Sunday morning services are best? Between the needs to work, to drive kids to school activities, to shop for groceries, to spend some quiet shalom time alone or together, to sleep in an extra couple hours, or simply to negotiate the chaos of getting children ready for church, most adults find getting to Sunday services at best hectic and at worst impossible. I don't know how many times I've brought this up at board meetings at different congregations I've served or visited, only to be told, often in so many words, "This works for us."
Which is precisely the point. Self-selecting criteria advantage the selectors. If only men had the right to vote on it, there would have been no women's vote.
That we need boards and people to serve on them is undeniable. Boardwork is often thankless and necessary. But we equally need those people to look beyond their personal comfort and the needs of the current members if we want anyone else to attend or to show up more than a couple times. If we want younger people and families we should meet later in the day. If we want people who work in retail or service we should meet some day other than Sunday. If we want people for whom church service is a full-on opportunity to connect with their community we should meet for two hours or more and have a meal together.
What we must not do is continue to pretend church is a one-hour-a-week, Sunday-morning experience that satisfies more than a fraction of the people in a community.

Honestly, I don't really care about the Super Bowl or Football in general, but this year it's kinda fun seeing the playful rivalry between two Marvel cinematic superheroes. Captain America & Star-Lord, aka Chris Evans & Chris Pratt, championing for New England Patriots and Seattle SeaHawks respectively, have set a bet that whoever loses would show up in their superhero costume at a children hospital of their choice. I thought that's really awesome and frankly, we movie fans are already winners of this bet 😀 Can't wait to see pics of Pratt in his Star-Lord uniform at Seattle's Children Hospital!
Apparently they watched the game together, look at them making goofy faces at the camera. Nice self promotion, Chris Pratt! 😛
Let's go #12s #JurassicWorld trailer #twitterbowl #Psalm126:3 #12sEverywhere #TomBradysBeautifulSkin #LOB #SuperBowl pic.twitter.com/sNMEXsO6Gg
— chris pratt (@prattprattpratt) February 1, 2015
Even though I didn't watch the game, I did see some of the trailers played during the game. Here are five of my favorites:
Brad Bird is back! Him directing this film definitely the main draw for me to see it, and the story sounds intriguing too.
Basically Chris Pratt doing his best Indiana Jones' impersonation until he does the real thing. I was skeptical about this project initially, but after the first trailer, I'm sold!
I scoffed the first time I saw the trailer for this, but the positive reviews got me excited for this now. I like Matthew Vaughn's direction in X-Men: First Class but this one looks more of a gleefully fun spy actioner, though the R-rating means this is NOT for kids. Can't wait for the press screening next week!
What made Despicable Me movies so watchable are those minions, so I'm glad they get their own movie! I can't get enough of these suspender-wearing tiny yellow creatures!!
It's like those Mission Impossible movies but w/ muscle cars [and well, muscle men too]. I mean, I LMAO-ed all the way through every Fast & Furious trailer, but this TV spot shows the most preposterous scene ever! It'll be bittersweet seeing Paul Walker here though.
Favorite Commercials
As far as commercials go, there are some good ones. The notable one is the Chevrolet's 'What if your TV went out?' which cleverly played on everyone's biggest fear that night. Surely some people nearly had a heart attack when the saw it, ahah.
But out of those featuring celebrities, I thought these two car-related ones are pretty hilarious.
This bombastic KIA ad with Pierce Brosnan pokes fun of his James Bond role:
Thanks to Michael for reminding me about the Clash of Clans commercial, once again poking fun at his own badassery from his ubiquitous TAKEN movies!
And THIS has got to be the most fun commercial of them all. Nick Offerman rules!!
What's your favorite Super Bowl trailers and/or commercials?

Redmi K20 Pro to have under-screen fingerprint scanner and large battery size
It has been on everyone's lips for a few weeks that Redmi is preparing a high-end with Snapdragon 855, the first as a company that operates independently of Xiaomi. The device is pseudo-confirmed, although we still do not know what its final name will be. The CEO at the moment calls Redmi X as a code name.
However, little by little we get to know details firsthand. This time they come from Lu Weibing, the CEO of Redmi, who has spent the last few days on Weibo giving some details and discarding some other false image. The last thing: the fingerprint reader would be under the screen, besides suggesting that it would have a great smartphone.
Subtle, or perhaps not so much, Lu Weibing has given us two details "camouflaged" in a publication on Weibo where he says that after a whole day, "the device is very satisfactory, above their expectations."
To illustrate it shares the following screenshot (with 47% battery), although the most notable is the fingerprint icon, which usually means that the fingerprint reader is just under the screen.
There were doubts whether Redmi would bet on the fingerprint reader on the screen, as Lu Weibing himself had previously said that the technology "is very expensive", but it seems that finally it would be available in the high range of Redmi.
This would coincide with another recent leaked of a supposed screensaver of a Redmi device. Take this with special caution, because there are versions circulating with different names like Redmi P20 Pro, Redmi X20 Pro and Redmi K20 Pro, although the latter seems, in principle, the original.
The name can be this or not, but it is also specified in it that it would have Snapdragon 855, 48MP triple rear camera, 6.39-inch AMOLED screen , 4,000 mAh battery and integrated fingerprint sensor on the screen.
The phone itself we have not seen except vaguely in a video teaser published a few days ago. In it, the front part of the smartphone and the retractable selfie camera are vaguely seen, which is all we have confirmed of its design.
Other data that Lu Weibing has been releasing is that it will have NFC , and probably will continue to drop crumbs from here to the announcement. We also do not know when it will be exactly, although the dates of May 13 or May 20 are considered, so there is not much left to leave doubts.

Rovers progressed to the third round of the Capital One Cup in dramatic style defeating Hull City.
Rovers suffered the worst possible start when City striker Aaron McClean scored in the opening minute. City doubled their lead in the tenth minute and looked in firm control of the tie.
With half time approaching midfielder David Syers unleashed a volley from all of 25 yards out to give Rovers some hope going in at the break.
The goal sparked a remarkable revival for Rovers and the scores were levelled on the hour mark when Rob Jones glanced the ball into the back of the net before David Syers scored his second of the game to ensure Rovers progressed to the next round.
Manager Dean Saunders was visibly delighted with the performance and praised his players' work ethic and determination to win the game.
'It was an unbelievable game,' he said
'We spent a lot of time this week working on the way were we going to play, then we conceded a terrible goal so early – we had a plan B if things didn't go our way.
'We then conceded a free kick which they reacted quicker to get to the bal – at 2-0 down I was thinking about trying to keep the score down and keeping us in the game.
'We fought our way back into the game, we made some good tackles and the fans got behind us. We managed to score a great goal right before half time that gave us some belief.
'We got closer to them second half, but it could have still gone either way. There were some great performances out there the players showed great determination and desire.
'It was similar to the pre-season game, for half an hour we couldn't get anywhere near them, but we managed to beat them 3-1.
'They were absolutely magnificent and to actually keep going till the end was testament to how fit we are and how well pre-season went.
'Second half we were getting stronger and stronger, getting the goal in the final minutes and David Syers running the length of the pitch to score it epitomised the whole performance.'
Rovers go into the hat for the next round of the competition and could come up against one of the biggest teams in English football. A tie against the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea is a possibility as they enter the competition in the third round.

"Make me think, make me laugh, inspire me, teach me something new, and I'll remember you when it comes time to buy." This is one of the top mantras for content marketers as they dream up new ways to reach and engage potential clients.
As a lawyer, it can be difficult to continually crank out fresh content for your firm's blog or social media. That's especially true when you're creating content to share with an audience who might not need your services right now ─ but they could in the future.
So if you are suffering from writer's block and need some new ideas, just think through these categories and see what comes to mind:
Make Me Think
Attorneys tend to stay on top of the latest trends and technologies that affect their practice areas. That's because savvy legal minds want to predict how these trends could affect their clients down the line. Well, your clients are probably interested in knowing that, too. Feel free to share your predictions, and get conversations started about what the future holds. For example:
- Are apps from insurance companies convenient, or do they collect information that could be used against you?
- Could a person's employee badge or work vehicle be used to illegally track his or her movements?
- With the rise of telemedicine, should we expect a rise in medical errors?
Particularly for technology that is expected to be popular, a legal analysis of the potential risks and pitfalls can appeal to a wide variety of people.
Make Me Laugh
Sure, the cases you handle are no laughing matter, but that doesn't mean you don't have a sense of humor. Add some variety to the content you're sharing by getting creative and making people chuckle. For inspiration, consider turning to the things that entertain you, and then giving your take on them. For example:
- In the last Batman movie, was there a chase scene where the Dark Knight was driving recklessly and racking up thousands of dollars in property damage?
- As a character in "The Walking Dead," how would a lawyer handle negotiations with the bat-wielding Negan and his henchmen?
- In last night's episode of "Grey's Anatomy," was there a patient who could have filed a medical malpractice claim because the doctors were so caught up in their personal drama that they made a mistake?
Television and movies provide endless fodder for content ideas, and sharing your interest in them gives you an opportunity to show off your personality. It also opens a door for you to connect with your audience and provide a unique perspective on a trending topic.
Inspire Me
As you know, there is no shortage of inspirational quotes being shared on social media these days. And who doesn't love a story that makes them feel all warm and fuzzy inside? It's simple: People want to be inspired. So inspire them. Consider these ideas:
- Do you have a client who was on the verge of losing everything but never gave up and eventually got his or her life back after an accident? Would he or she be willing to share that story?
- Have you met a caregiver who goes above and beyond in advocating for their injured or disabled loved one?
- Do you volunteer with an organization that does inspirational work in the community?
Of course, you can also share your own favorite inspirational quotes by turning them into simple social media graphics with programs such as Canva or Adobe Spark.
Teach Me Something New
You probably know that many people weigh the option of handling a case themselves rather than hiring an attorney. You also know that's not the best idea in many cases. Although you don't want to encourage the DIY legal crowd, you can share some insights that help establish your firm as a trusted resource for legal advice. For example:
- What are the common myths people have about your practice area? (Maybe you can start a legal mythbusters series of articles.)
- What would you tell potential clients about how their social media presence may factor into a legal battle?
- Could you help explain the everyday implications of a complicated new law that's in the works?
Your "teaching moments" don't always have to be long-form narratives. They can be as simple as sharing a word-of-the-week legal definition on social media (through an eye-catching graphic, of course).
Need More Ideas?
You can never go wrong by combing through your frequently asked questions and expanding on a topic that your clients want to know more about. If you've already gone through all your FAQs, consider using a tools such as AnswerThePublic.com, Buzzsumo or Alltop, to see what people are searching, what's trending, and for ideas related to a specific topic. There are also numerous sites that can help get your creative juices flowing, and help you generate a blog post title like HubSpot's Blog Topic Generator, and Portent's Content Idea Generator.
In addition, we have created an e-book that can assist you in creating some high-quality web content that will enhance both visitor experience and search engine rankings. You can download it here.
In the end, you want your blogs and social media posts to be useful and contribute to your overarching brand marketing plan. Because even if your audience isn't searching for a lawyer right now, you do want them to remember you when they are.

Make Those New Year's Resolutions Stick!News
12/28/2011 - Make Those New Year's Resolutions Stick!
At this time of year, many in our community are thinking of New Year's resolutions. By the middle of the year, those resolutions made back in January are often a distant memory.
Ukiah Valley Medical Center Registered Dietitian Annie Dogali has some helpful tips to make those resolutions stick. "Many of us start our New Year's resolutions only to break them shortly thereafter. Given that eating better and losing weight are among the top ten most common New Year's resolutions."
Here are five ways to give your nutrition resolutions some staying power.
- Be Specific: By simply making a resolution to "eat better" or "lose weight" we set ourselves up for failure. Set a smaller, more specific goal such as walking one mile a day or eating two servings of fruit each day.
- Be Realistic: Set goals that are attainable. Rather than aiming for a weight loss of 50 pounds, start with a more appropriate goal of losing one or two pounds a week. If you're trying to change your eating habits, set one small goal at a time such as switching from whole milk to almond milk rather than trying to overhaul your entire diet on January 1, 2012.
- Keep a Log: Whether you're trying to eat less or exercise more, tracking your habits is one of the most effective ways to be successful at changing them.

- Be Positive: Breaking unhealthy habits is hard enough; don't make it more difficult by putting a negative spin on your bad behavior. Instead of resolving to "never eat candy again", replace that habit with a healthier one such as "pack healthy snacks to take to work each day".
- Get Support: Tell your friends family and coworkers about your goals. Try an online motivating site such as www.stickk.com to hold yourself accountable by making New Year's resolutions public.
