Tigers 6, Blue Jays 3 (10). The Tigers, having gotten off to arguably the best start in baseball history at 35-5, were finally in a bit of a slump; they had lost 6 of 9 since playing their 40th game. Their task would be no easier in this one, as they sent back-of-the-rotation starter Juan Berenguer against a Toronto team with the second-best record in baseball and their ace, Dave Stieb.
Both starters were perfect in the first, which meant that Willie Upshaw's homer leading off the top of the second opened the scoring. A Rance Mulliniks single and an Ernie Whitt walk threatened to extend the lead before Berenguer retired Alfredo Griffin to end the inning. Stieb put his newfound lead in immediate jeopardy by hitting Lance Parrish and walking Darrell Evans to start the second, but Johnny Grubb popped up and Chet Lemon flied out, with Parrish getting doubled off on the latter play. The Tigers countered with a non-standard double play of their own in the top of the third, as Dave Collins singled and was then caught stealing while Lloyd Moseby struck out.
Lou Whitaker doubled with two out in the bottom of the third, and moved to third while Alan Trammell reached on a dropped third strike. Kirk Gibson grounded out to leave both halves of the double play combination on base. The unconsummated rallies continued in the fourth, as George Bell singled and stole second and Parrish led off with a double, with both runners being stranded. The starters combined on a runnerless fifth, but in the sixth, Upshaw singled and Bell homered to augment Toronto's lead to 3-0.
Trammell singled and was left at second in the bottom of the sixth, while Griffin singled with one out in the seventh, then was caught stealing immediately before Damaso Garcia doubled. That double chased Berenguer from the game in favor of Willie Hernandez, who ended the inning quickly. Stieb notched the first out in the bottom of the seventh, but then hit Lemon with a pitch, gave up a single to Dave Bergman, and served up a game-tying 3-run homer to Howard Johnson. A Whitaker single and a Gibson walk prompted Stieb's replacement with Dennis Lamp, who got Parrish to fly out, leaving the go-ahead run at second.
Moseby led off the eighth with a double and moved to third on a passed ball before an out was recorded. But Upshaw popped up, pinch hitter Cliff Johnson grounded to third with Moseby holding, Bell was intentionally walked, and pinch hitter Jesse Barfield struck out to end the inning with the run still unscored. Lamp countered a Grubb single with a Lemon double play in the bottom of the eighth, while Hernandez allowed only a Garcia single in the top of the ninth. Bergman led off the bottom of the ninth with a walk and was bunted to second; Whitaker was then intentionally passed, and Trammell's flyout moved the winning run to third. Jimmy Key relieved Lamp, Whitaker stole second, and pinch hitter Larry Herndon grounded out to send the game into an extra inning.
Hernandez retired the first two hitters in the tenth, and Aurelio Lopez replaced him and got the third. Parrish led off the bottom of the inning with a single; Key was relieved by Roy Lee Jackson one out later, and Jackson issued a two-out walk to Lemon, followed by a walkoff 3-run homer to Bergman.
Despite Detroit's historic start to the season, the Blue Jays entered this date only 4.5 games out of first. With the Tigers having looked beatable over the last week and change, it looked like an excellent chance to make up ground. And then, the superior team asserted itself by picking up a win over Toronto's ace on the strength of home runs by their 8 and 9 hitters.
When Dave Bergman is hitting one of his three career walkoff homers (the other two are here and here, respectively) against your chief divisional rival to let you steal a game started by their #1 and your #4... it just might be your year. (Also, it's a good sign if you start 35-5.)

U.S. EPA, Napa County Announce Millions for Water Quality, Flood Damage, Northern California Salmon
Release Date: 12/09/2011
Contact Information: Mary Simms (415) 947-4270, firstname.lastname@example.com or Rick Thomasser (707) 259-8657, firstname.lastname@example.com
Napa vineyards have suffered flood damage, river bank collapse due to erosion, landowners along the Napa River will convert 135 acres of farmland to wildlife habitat to support restoration efforts
SAN FRANCISCO -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Napa County, Calif., will today announce the details of nearly $3.3 Million in federal, state and local funding aimed at restoring water quality and riparian and aquatic habitats in the Napa River watershed. As part of two major restoration efforts covering 15 miles of the Napa River, more than 40 landowners have committed to converting nearly 135 acres of farmland to wildlife habitat.
Regional steelhead and Chinook salmon populations have suffered steep declines as a result of high concentrations of fine sediment in the Napa River, which clouds spawning gravel. In-stream erosion has degraded the once complex channel, severely reducing rearing habitat for these species. The river, which runs 55 miles from Mt. St. Helena to the San Pablo Bay, is also prone to seasonal flooding from November to April.
"Despite long-term habitat degradation and falling fish populations, the Napa River represents one of the most important watersheds within the San Francisco Bay-Delta estuary for the recovery of regional steelhead populations," said EPA Regional Administrator for the Pacific Southwest, Jared Blumenfeld. "This $1.5 million EPA grant will help manage erosion, improve spawning gravel, and create habitat for critically endangered salmon."
At a press conference along the banks of the Napa River in Rutherford, with fall run Chinook salmon spawning below, U.S. EPA Administrator Jared Blumenfeld will be joined by U.S. Congressman Mike Thompson, County Supervisor Diane Dillon, and key federal, state and local officials to highlight the pioneering private-public partnership designed to improve water quality and salmon habitat and address eroding streambanks within this important agricultural area.
The Napa River has cut down so much that it's up to three times deeper than it once was, creating vertical stream banks up to 30 feet high. In some locations the banks have become unstable and subject to catastrophic collapse. The river channel is also much narrower than before, making flows more erosive. To stabilize river banks and create wildlife habitat, vineyard owners in the Rutherford area have committed to converting 20 acres of agriculture land back to river habitat. Landowners are continuing the restoration of the Napa River south of Rutherford between Oakville and Oak Knoll in the Napa Valley and in total, have committed to restoring more than 115 acres.
"Today's announcement is a win for our environment, wildlife, and economy," said Rep. Thompson (CA-01). "We are reducing erosion and sediment runoff, we are improving steelhead and Chinook salmon habitat, and we are strengthening the Napa River which is at the heart of our economy, giving life to agriculture and our thriving wine industry that pumps more than $61 billion into our economy every year. I thank the grape growers and landowners for their partnership and commitment to this restoration process."
The Napa River historically supported a run of 6,000–8,000 steelhead, but by the late 1960s those numbers had declined to an estimated 2,000 adults. Today the steelhead run is estimated to be less than a few hundred adults.
The EPA grant will help restore Napa River water quality by implementing several priority actions of the Napa River Sediment total maximum daily load (TMDL) and habitat enhancement plan. The grant, with nearly $1.8 Million in matching and leveraged funds, will:
- Restore a nearly mile-long section of the Napa River in Rutherford to improve steelhead and Chinook habitat and water quality;
- Complete restoration design along an additional 3.9 miles of the Napa River in Oakville and eradicate 5 acres of invasive non-native Giant Reed and plant native riparian trees;
- Assist ranchers to reduce erosion on 80% of Napa watershed grazing lands in the watershed;
- Implement BMPs to reduce sediment runoff from rural roads and stream crossings throughout the watershed.
- Establish a tracking system to advance water quality improvements through increased accountability.
The primary grant recipient is Napa County, in partnership with the Napa County Resource Conservation District, the California Land Stewardship Institute, U.C. Cooperative Extension and the Rutherford Dust Restoration Team of the Rutherford Dust Society landowner group. The grant builds on more than two decades of local stewardship involving landowners, the County, elected officials and partner agencies.
Napa County Supervisor Diane Dillon says, "We are very grateful to be receiving this grant from EPA and also grateful to all our other project partners in restoring the Napa River, including the voters in Napa County who approved County Measure "A", which has been vital in making all this possible."
The Napa River watershed has many active stakeholders showcasing environmental innovation and leadership, and represents an opportunity to succeed in minimizing polluted runoff, restoring impaired waters, maintaining native fisheries and implementing pollution standards.
"The River Restoration Project is striking a balance between economy and ecology," says local vintner and land manager Davie Pina. "Landowners, the community, and government are investing equitably in the preservation of our environmental and agricultural heritage for the benefit of future generations."
The EPA has been active in the Napa River watershed providing technical and financial assistance since the early 1990s. Since 2007, Napa has received approximately $4.8 Million in EPA grants for sediment management.
Today's event will bring together landowners, local elected officials and multiple partner agencies. The grant funding source is $22 million appropriated since 2008 for San Francisco Bay, currently supporting 38 projects, with 53 organizations leveraging and matching more than $42 million.

Saturday was the first of our Friends of Garston Park "litter picks". A small group of us set out from the Leisure Centre to clear the park of any litter lying around.
First impressions - no much litter at all. Second impressions - fly tipping central at a couple of areas near Garston Old Road.
We wanted Friends of Garston Park to be more than a talking shop. So we've got a commitment to do some litter picking every two months.
If you want to get involved - either in the litter picks or our meetings - please get in touch. We've got our own website at www.fogp.blogspot.com

The End of the World
Sequence for an independent animated short film 'Periplanet'. The story line is that there are a series of major planet wide changes that affect the likelihood, or not, of human survival.
2014 Reel
New tools are here for 2014. Harmony 10.3 animation has native particle tools, compositing features and lots of ways to manipulate characters and props for a versatile production process.
Gods of Sound
Traditional frame by frame style animation.
It's Raining
A spot for the Humane Society of Indiana. I provided character design, storyboarding, animatics, animation and compositing. The clients chose a totally B&W look. This is my sepia toned director's cut. I have also reinstated early versions of some shots, which I think add a little more 'drama'. The production companies involved were Fivestone Studios (Nashville) and Good Vibes Media (Indianapolis). This is the second time I've worked with Fivestone in recent months, which I've enjoyed very much. They are a talented, capable and pleasant crew.
Stabs by xKore
This is Stabs, the xKore animated video flying under the Inspected music label. A perturbing enforcer, a brute villain and cold urban canyons are the key elements.
The SaltMarsh
The SaltMarsh is my second animated short. It is a work in progress, between assignments. The backgrounds shown here are first composed in storyboard form. The boards have enough detail to serve as a decent shot layout. From there I work on rough, cold press watercolor paper. I produce a black and white tonal painting with Japanese stick ink and traditional brushes. Next, I scan the painting on a large, high quality flatbed scanner. The painting is digitally colored, and eventually composited using a virtual After Effects camera.
"Near" Background Art
After traveling in Nepal, Japan, Peru, Hawaii and a lot of the American west, mostly with dusty boots and a backpack, I sat and pondered the pile of film I'd shot. I had worked in-house so much at agencies, production facilities and networks, that I'd never had time to animate something for myself. This was the time to start. The first thing I did was start drawing environments. Below are a few of the results.
Surf Rider
This is a really fun project. I was given a list of characters and then put on a very long leash. Actually, I even came up with the idea for the surfing Sumo. I did surf for several years, and then paddled a whitewater kayak. There is a small amount of overlap in these experiences, giving me a wealth of ideas.
America's Pop Star Penalty Round
The friendly creatures of Snuff Mountain, Tennessee decided not to be left off the reality TV bandwagon. Never mind that the wagon was never going to pull over and let them on. Is it the most humble expression of pop culture you've ever seen, or an apt metaphor for our time?
All the art started as pencil illustration. The animation was spline based, made with Anime Studio Pro. The audio was produced in-house, using studio built foley props and echo chamber. It's all very straightforward. I looked at a lot of old Termite Terrace shot layouts, and staged these shots with that attitude of 'getting it done'.
Energy for Everyone
I have depicted a setting that is gradually turning toward sustainability. The main focus is wind power, and this piece is available for customization and licensing. The methods used to make this animation is a blend of warm traditional techniques, and wholly digital components.

A brother, a sister, and the game of LIFE.Austin stared straight past the Rolos, Snickers, and Skittles at the New York City subway map taped to the newsstand window. When I called to him, he merely blinked and continued tracing the map's lines with his eyes. I took his hand and tried to pull him down Third Avenue, but he dug in his heels and screeched.

Rosh Hashanah at the Slifka Center.Serving up special food at the Kosher kitchen. Jewish law holds that meat and dairy must be stored apart, served with different utensils, and consumed separately. Shaking his head in somber embarrassment, Timothy Frye, who has been head chef at Yale's Slifka Center for five years, admits he doesn't know why. He must not realize he is in the majority. Stumped by the same question, medieval Torah guru Maimonedes reasoned that meat boiled in milk was too filling and "undoubtedly gross." But most follow Kashrut,. . . Read more
53 year-old Dwight Dickerson was accepted to Yale College in part for his "exceptional background." So why don't most students know about it?A young Dwight Dickerson plays the trumpet. Courtesy Dwight Dickerson Many Yale undergraduates are surprised to encounter Dwight Dickerson in their Spanish seminars and Political Psychology lectures. His usual uniform is collegiate enough – black Velcro sneakers, blue jeans, a black pinstriped button-down left untucked and a grey Yale Bulldogs sweatshirt – but his bald head and the white hairs salting his pepper black mustache suggest he is a fair bit older than your average undergraduate.

How one contracting company paints a pretty picture of a risky venture.In 2008, a Yale senior made close to $60,000 in one summer painting houses. As fantastical as it may sound, especially to the many Yale students who see enervating banking and consulting internships as the only way to make money over the summer, the story of Max Rhodes '09 is no fairy tale.

Overcoming Yale students' racial biases.We in the Ivy League like to think of ourselves as progressive: our schools offer the best financial aid packages, record some of the highest minority enrollment, and frequently produce research at the vanguard of a variety of social issues.

For many Yale students, academically privileged, bolstered by one of the world's wealthiest institutions, there remains the constant question of how to give back, not merely to the communities we come from, but to the world we will enter upon our graduation.We hadn't planned on painting a fence as our service project. Instead, we were supposed to be teaching English to disadvantaged children at a Kathmandu children's home, a project which, to me, sounded much more constructive than spreading chestnut colored primer over gray chain-link. Now, staring at the sizable fence surrounding the construction site of the new "Shining Stars" children's home in the rural Nepali village of Bistochap, we were forced to wonder: this is our project?

Two armchair historians also hunt for treasure.If time travel existed, Jesse Thompson and Tony Cwikla would have racked up millions of frequent flier years. They're history buffs—guys who'd prefer to throw back ale with Benjamin Franklin than with high school buddies, who'd rather watch gladiator matches with Caesar than with Russell Crowe. But since scientists have yet to find a traversable wormhole, Thompson and Cwikla must recover history instead of living it.

On the day that Anchee Min realized it was her mission to help Americans understand the Chinese, she had taken her daughter to a park in the Chicago neighborhood of Bridgeport.
Min had been in Chicago for most of a decade by then, attending the School of the Art Institute, living in risky neighborhoods, working odd jobs for bad pay and stumbling through the labyrinth of English.
Finally, on that day in the park, Min heard what she now refers to as her calling, a moment she recounts in "The Cooked Seed," her new memoir:
"Are you Chinese?" I heard a tender voice calling behind me.
It was a white boy about ten years old. "Are you Chinese?" he repeated.
"Yes, I am." I returned his smile.
"They" — the boy pointed at three white teenage boys sitting on the fence — "They asked me to ask you if they can **** you."
I was stunned. I looked at the boy and said, "Did I hear you say the f-word?"
The boy scampered back to his friends, and Min headed home with her daughter, thinking that those boys hated Chinese people because they didn't know the Chinese, just as she had been trained to hate Americans when she was growing up in China.
She resolved, she writes in her new book, to "help defrost the ice in the hearts of Americans."
Min now lives in Walnut Creek, Calif., which is where she was when I called her this week in preparation for interviewing her Saturday at the Printers Row Lit Fest.
"Chicago was the foundation of my success," she said.
It was in Chicago that Min wrote "Red Azalea," the first installment of her memoir, about growing up during China's Cultural Revolution under the harsh communist rule of Mao Zedong.
Published in 1994, "Red Azalea" became a worldwide hit, and she immediately got a contract to write the sequel, about her struggles as a Chicago art student, her marriage, her divorce and her move to California.
The sequel she embarked on was, in her view, terrible.
"I killed it myself," she said.
Min went on to write instead about Chinese history and women's history, determined to avoid more autobiography, until events conspired years later to change her mind.
Her mother died. Her daughter grew up and begged for the rest of the story. She herself grew older.
"When you go past 50," she said, "you develop a different, I wouldn't say attitude, a different understanding of life."
But Min wasn't sure she had the courage to write her American sequel.
"There was a lot of fight with myself during the writing," she said.
Could she write, for example, about the man, another Chinese immigrant to Chicago, who rented her a room and then raped her? By the rules of her native culture, she couldn't.
"Anything done to a woman, it's a woman's fault and you should stay silent," she said. "My family would be humiliated. That rape scene was very hard."
Could she write about the loneliness that in her early Chicago days repeatedly sent her to a neighborhood video store to rent the same porn movie over and over?
"I didn't have the guts to write about my relationship with that tape," she said. "But I thought: I don't have the right to own this material. Because that's part of the immigrant history. That loneliness, like acid that drizzles on you, and the hopelessness and helplessness and human desire to be touched."
Min's life is more settled now. In the hills near San Francisco, she lives with her second husband, an author and Vietnam vet she met through a dating service. He writes down in the basement. She reads up on the observation deck. Her daughter is on the other side of the bay, at Stanford University.
It's a part of the world famous for wealth, education and beauty, a place where, as Min puts it, people "talk seriously about implementing strategies," which is to say it's far from the Chicago that taxed her survival skills.
"Chicago was milk and butter, bread," she said. "Chicago is more human in a way."
At 11 a.m. Saturday at Lit Fest, we'll talk about Min's writing, her Chicago past and the future of China, which she visits routinely.
"McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken and Hollywood movies are taking over," she said. "The next generation of Chinese, there is some potential cancer there. They've become an entitled generation. That's how you rot — you become entitled."

Singh, who rose to the rank of the cabinet secretary of the state despite being a non-IAS officer, was considered close to outgoing Chief Minister Mayawati.
His tenure as cabinet secretary was marred by controversies. Singh's appointment as cabinet secretary had been challenged in the court several times.

Brands are most likely lying to themselves when thinking they own influencers exclusively. Don't get me wrong. I understand that BMW are concerned that Mercedes might approach the same influencers…
However, in reality it's a different story and exclusivity might very well be one of influencer marketing's biggest pipe dreams. Here are four reasons why:
1. Influencers have spent years building their social media presence, reach, brand and audience. Restricting revenues isn't going to be an option that makes a lot of sense for most influencers.
2. Influencers are very conscious about authenticity and want to make money in a sustainable way. In this sense, the brand should trust that the influencer will make smart decisions around what brands to work with. Any established influencer will most likely choose the long term play, and avoid flip-flopping between competing brands which in the end almost certainly will hurt the influencer brand and credibility.
3. When a successful relationship has been built between brand and influencer, few influencers would jeopardize that relationship. Smart influencers don't bite the hand that feeds them.
4. Brands are spending an increasing amount of money on influencers and will most likely identify the same influencers sooner or later anyway. Spending time and effort on attempting to prevent this is most likely a battle already lost.
It is short sighted to believe it's possible to keep an exclusive relationship with influencers by trying to hide them. Brands should rather focus on good influencer relationships and grow these over time.

It's an interesting non-profit model that helps to push product design in new directions. For instance, the Stella Rug (shown in the first photo) was created by UK designer Michelle Mason and launched in 2008. It won a Craft Central Bright Ideas Award, received international press coverage, and is now available through multiple European retailers. It's an unusual design that reinterprets lace patterns in felt—not the kind of thing you'd find in a big box home store.
While not all of Hidden Art's goods are sustainable, they do have an Eco Shop featuring items that are environmentally-friendly in their materials and production processes. The shop markets itself to UK residents looking to buy locally produced goods, but they also offer shipping to countries outside the UK and Europe.

- Stella Felt Rug by Michelle Mason, made from 100% felted wool, £350
- Cloud Lampshade by Yu Jordy Fu, handmade from recycled paper with fireproof coating, £106
- Alumina Table by Lloydesign, made from sustainably harvested wood, LED lights, and glass, £2,243

The future's bright...
This is one of my favourite pieces of artwork, comissioned by the Underground Electric Railway Company and created by Horace Taylor. It advertises the London Underground, sporting the very first and very Edwardian logo designed for the transport. Customers/passengers are smartly dressed in typical attire from whence they were painted in 1924.
The colours are bright and loud, which fits nicely with the concept of the underground being the shiniest and best form of travel in London!
You grasp a sense of time-travel with the painting too, or maybe (ironically) stagnation considering we are still using the system today.

From Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, the Steel Wheels roll out a straightforward Americana sound. All four members of the band grew up in Mennonite families, nurturing them to create piping harmonies, lyrical poetry-based lyrics, and a rootsy string-band style.

The Legendary Ghosts of Reading -- and my encounter with it ( a real life story that every Penskite, who ever travelled to city of Reading in Pennsylvania will relate to)
By summer of 2005, there was already a large group on our floor, who had returned from Reading,PA after participating in one of the numerous process transitions, happening at that time. But they did not just bring back process maps and sop's, they brought back something else -- tales of eerie experiences, spooky encounters and from their tales were born the Legendary Ghosts of Reading !!
It was roughly around 8:30 pm on 30th May 2005, as I unpacked and prepared to go to bed on my very first night on American soil at 19 Wyoming drive at City of Reading, PA. Umesh with whom I was sharing the duplex 2 bedroom apartment ,was still at work. And I was still experiencing the Adrenaline rush of having travelled to US for the first time in my life.
Unlike the houses in the Indian subcontinent, which are made up of concrete, most American houses are made of plasterboard and wood. It lends them to create noises that most Indians wont be familiar with. Especially creaking sound of the wood boards, when someone walks or the howling sound as the wind blows through the window. It takes time to get used to such noises and for our mind to cancel them out.
So I kept one of the lampshades in the room switched on, just in case !!
I began to drift off in sleep, but all of a sudden, the flush in the bathroom went off !! -- whoosshh !! My pulse shot up, so did my heart beat and I become wide awake. I was alone in the house, so who was operating the flush. Usually after any such encounter, our mind if first frozen with fear , later as it thaws, it starts finding a logical explanation for that encounter. Probably Umesh was back from work, so I called out his name, while still seating on my bed, no response !! My mind tried desperately to come with any probable explanation for the flush operating on its own, that too, exactly at an hour, when I was about to fall asleep, while I was all alone in the apartment ,on my
very first night in US !! Nothing
After the flush emptied the tank, the ball valve opened letting the water gush in, to fill up the tank --- trrrrrrrrrr , but again whooossshh , the flush went off !! And it kept repeating. I don't know for how long , I sat on my bed, frozen, finding no logical explanation for this phenomenon, all the Ghosts stories of Reading that I had overheard back in India , paid me a complimentary visit. I held a Sai Baba frame close to my chest and summed up enough courage to confront the toilet flushing Ghost !!
With my heart pounding thru my chest, I pushed open the bathroom door, but there was no one inside. Again the flush went off on its own. At least this Ghost is invisible, is what I thought !! With sweaty palms, I opened the cover of the flush tank, there was certainly nothing out of the ordinary inside, but flush kept operating on its own.
Another few minutes went by before my mind calmed down enough to think clearly , the flush in all probability was malfunctioning. Why it decided to malfunction exactly at that appointed hour as it did, remains a mystery till date. By now my fear had given way to anger on the flush tank to have screwed up my sleep. I took a shampoo bottle and jammed it inside the flush tank, below the ball-valve lever, so disabling the mechanism. Thankfully my jugad worked , the flush went silent, after an harrowing ordeal lasting over an hour, I finally felt asleep.
And probably the Ghost of Reading went off to some other apartment, to terrify another unsuspecting individual.

Over 40 million people in American suffer from dyslexia. Dyslexia is defined as a language-based disability that affects a person's "ability to read, write, spell and pronounce words." It is found in varying degrees from mild to severe. Most dyslexic people see letters and numbers backward from how they actually are.
Sufferers of dyslexia often report feeling dumb as children. Their school performance is not good and they are often bullied by their peers. On the bright side, many dyslexics compensate for their disability in other ways and go on to achieve great things. They are motivated by the desire to prove to their family, friends and public that they are indeed not dumb.
Whoopi Goldberg is an example of someone who struggled with learning and was labeled as "dumb" and "retarded" as she was growing up. She has said that "all the paperwork" indicated she was retarded. She didn't believe she was stupid, but the struggle with this learning disability caused her to drop out of school at age 17.
After dropping out of school, Goldberg spent several years doing drugs and living on welfare. She then realized she simply did not want to be labeled retarded her whole life and began her quest for success. She was an adult when she finally discovered her learning problems were due to dyslexia.
Fortunately for Goldberg, she had a mother who told her that she wasn't stupid and could grow up to be and do anything she wanted. She herself realized she couldn't be stupid because, as she says, "If you read to me, I could tell you everything you read." She says she still likes to be read to. Her mother's attitude, coupled with her own determination, took her off welfare and drugs and drove her to succeed.
Goldberg decided to defy those who claimed she "couldn't and shouldn't, and won't" and has become one of the most successful female entertainers ever. She has won all four major acting and music awards, including an Oscar, Tony, Emmy and Grammy. Only 12 other people can claim that distinction. She has written several books, including two children's books. She is a UNICEF goodwill Ambassador, four-time Oscar program hostess and was presented with the Mark Twain Award for American Humor.
As for those who bullied her with disparaging comments as she was struggling in school to learn, she actually credits them with giving her the motivation to become the success that she is. She was committed to proving she was not "dumb" and says those comments "went into making me the sum total of what I became, and what I've become."

You probably know already that I love to eat. And I love to cook. Sometimes, I even think I'm a pretty good cook. But I will fully admit, I am TERRIBLE at following recipes and really don't like to. Here's why:
- When I see "dice 1 onion", I ask "what size onion?" and then the whole recipe changes.
- I have never gotten exactly 1 lb of ground beef before in my life.
- Learning from my mother and grandmother meant "just add a little soy sauce, a little wine, and a little sesame oil. You'll figure it out".
- I never have all the right ingredients waiting for me in the fridge.
So, my style of cooking is more to understand the ingredients, the combination of flavors, and then to just fly by the seat of my pants! I often use whatever is available in my pantry and my fridge and modify an idea so that it works for me. But I've written them down as clear as I can for you, in case you're not the fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants type of cook. Just consider these "recipes" to be guidelines, and have fun trying them out!

Governatore Banca d'Inghilterra spiega perché la Brexit non sarà affatto un problemaEUROPA UE, NEWS lunedì, 27, giugno, 2016
video FEF Academy
Il discorso integrale dal sito bankofengland.co.uk
The people of the United Kingdom have voted to leave the European Union. Inevitably, there will be a period of uncertainty and adjustment following this result.
There will be no initial change in the way our people can travel, in the way our goods can move or the way our services can be sold.
And it will take some time for the United Kingdom to establish new relationships with Europe and the rest of the world.
Some market and economic volatility can be expected as this process unfolds.
But we are well prepared for this. The Treasury and the Bank of England have engaged in extensive contingency planning and the Chancellor and I have been in close contact, including through the night and this morning.
The Bank will not hesitate to take additional measures as required as those markets adjust and the UK economy moves forward.

Colm Bradshaw and Frances Long set to be athletic stars of the the future
The Turnpike was the venue for this year's County Novice B Cross Country Championships which were held in ideal conditions.
Moycarkey Coolcroo club had everything in order for these Championships and we are very grateful to Donal Hayes and his family for the use of his fine facilities.
These Championships are often the stepping stones for athletic careers and on last Sunday we witnessed two rising stars of the sport, names that we will read about in the years ahead.
In the Ladies race over 3K after Patsy Dorney set them on their way a small group of three set the pace and they included Lyndsey Dooley of Thurles Crokes who led from the start as well as the Moyne duo of Frances Long and Bridget Gleeson, they were closely followed by the Moore Abbey Milers trio of Mairead Mulcahy, Maire O'Shea and Martina Moloney along with Fiona Barlow of Clonmel with the rest of the field in close attention.
Going out on the final lap Frances Long and Bridget Gleeson forced the pace and soon they were joined by Mairead Moloney with the other athletes in close attention.
These three athletes were now trying to assert their authority on the race as they tried to get away from the rest of the field but they weren't getting too far away as every position and yard was hard fought.
With 400m to go Frances Long (Moyne) dug deep again and held a slight lead as they came into the finishing straight and she maintained that great effort despite some late challenges to come home a very worthy champion in 13 mins 1 sec with Bridget Gleeson (Moyne) getting up close to the line to win the Silver medal in 13 mins 3 secs with Mairead Mulcahy (Moore Abbey Milers) hanging on to the Bronze medal in 13 mins 5 secs.
Fiona Barlow of Clonmel was 4th in 13 mins 8 secs, Maire O'Shea 5th in 13 mins 9 secs, Martina Moloney 6th in 13 mins 27 secs, 7th Lyndsey Dooley, Thurles Crokes 13 mins 38 secs, 8th Trish Blackburn (Moore Abbey Milers) 13:46, 9th Anna Byrne (Clonmel) 13:54 and 10th Patricia Ryan (Moyne) 14 mins 7 secs.
The Moyne team of Frances, Bridget and Patricia won the Gold medals, Moore Abbey team of Mairead, Maire and Martina won Silver while the Clonmel team of Fiona, Anna and Jemma McLoughlin 13th took Bronze medals.
In the Men's 6K race four athletes set the pace, the Thurles Crokes duo of Liam Shanahan and John Fitzgibbon as well as Dermot Logue (Coolquill) and the winner Colm Bradshaw (Dundrum).
These four set a very strong pace that soon had the field in single file.
They maintained this pace over the majority of the race and they were still together as they went out on their final lap. Colm Bradshaw then put in a sustained effort that saw him open a sizeable lead and he came home a very worthy Champion in 21:34. Dermot Logue (Coolquill) took Silver in 21 mins 45 secs and John Fitzgibbon (Thurles Crokes) Bronze in 21:51 with his club mate Liam Shanahan 4th in 21:57. Paudie Coen (Dundrum) was 5th in 22:20, 6th Eoin Woolley (Nenagh) 22:42, 7th Sean Healy (Moycarkey Coolcroo) 22:47, 8th Jody Sweeney (Moyne) 22:56, 9th Michael Carey (Coolquill) 23:04 and 10th Ml Ferncombe (Dundrum) 23:07.

"We often forget that WE ARE NATURE. Nature is not something separate from us. So when we say that we have lost our connection to nature, we've lost our connection to ourselves."― Andy Goldsworthy

Landwalks: Bruce Trail, Niagara Escarpment
Ephemeral Graffiti, (charcoal), Litter, Snow, Lichen, Sumac, Fern, Wild raspberry
A connecting aspect of my practice is informed by altars and alter-ability in the land. After spending time at residencies in Ireland (2013) and Shetland, (2015, 2016) I have become more and more interested in the human connection with place and how we are all compelled to alter the land in some way, shape or form, even in remote, sparsely populated regions of the world.
I am driven to leave my own land marks in these places and find myself making portals from discarded vineyard wire, arranging red sumac in spirals on blue snow shadows and lining up rows of milkweed pods into migration patterns.
Remnants found on remote shorelines (nets, seaweed, lichened stones, litter) and fallow fields (carcass, nests, wild growth) are intimately altered to mark places in time. They are left as temporary markers for others to encounter (or not) before being reclaimed by the natural world.
I am intrigued by the processes happening in nature over time and it's unpredictability that affects the work. The uncertainty of working with the weather, the connection between land and light, uprooting and unearthing hidden things and hidden life are the elements that motivate my practice.
Immersed in the cycle of growth and decay, I am compelled to make marks on the land using only materials from my immediate surroundings.

Timberlake notes, "Our characters meet each other in that time where they've both recently split up from other relationships and we're both in that headspace where we kind of want to just be single." Read more…

Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2011
Hi! Before anything else, forgive me for the brief hiatus. The past few days I've been working on a new entertainment blog which is sort of an evolution of this blog that's why I have been quiet for a while. I will be directing everyone soon to the new address. But for now, I would like to veer away from our regular programming and participate to this annual writing project for Filipino bloggers and give my picks for the Top 5 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2011. This is a project of InfluentialBlogger.net, which aims to identify new and emerging blogs who are making an impact to its readers in 2011.
- Blogger Manila – do you want to learn everything about social media? Jonel's blog provides the seo specialist, problogger wannabes or just the curious lurkers a take on everything social media.
- Sleek in the City – Clean design and clean content is what drew me to following this blog from time to time. Perfect for those who wants to know what's going on in the metro and do not have much time.
- Teacher's Pwet – 3 words: fun.light.cute.
- Lafanggero – this food blogger is one of the food bloggers to watch out for. I'll definitely look out for more of his yummy entries. :)
- Me Likes Art – This blogger makes me embarrassed to say that I am a movie blogger. Definitely a great read!
- RizalPark.org – there are so many bloggers out there yet there are just a few who is dedicated to introduce our culture and heritage to the world. RizalPark.org made this their agenda to stand out from all the other blogs out there.
- A Teacher's Journey – A blog that tackles the different issues the education industry in the Philippines is facing today.
- Eats Terrific! – The blogger behind Ganda Ever so Much tackles a different niche which showcases his love for food. He's recipes are mouthwatering I tell you!
- The Journalistic View – An alternative take on the issues facing the country. The Writer gives feisty commentary on a plethora of issues. Definitely a good read!
- Fashion Pulis – Teacher by day blogger by night. My officemates would sometimes guess on his latest blind items. Who doesn't like gossip?
May the best blog win!
This event would not be possible without the help of the following sponsors Cyber Monday Deals, TRIbeca Private Residences, How To Videos, Palawan Beaches for Sale, Green and Natural Lubes Philippines, Philippine data center, Philippine online shopping,Singapore Jobs, Pinoy Party Food, Manila rentals and Great product deals.
I'll be announcing my new blog here soon!
My Binondo Girl on Primetime Bida August 22
Kim Chiu makes a comeback on television as Jade, a girl despite growing up with a loving mother, Zheny (Ai Ai Delas Alas) and a loving grandmother, Amor (Gina Pareño) still longs for the approval of her Chinese father, Chen Sy (Richary Yap).
This longing for the love and approval of her father prompted her to guise herself as "Yuan" her brother who passed away, and the rest as they say, is what you should watch on tv. :)
My Binondo Girl will also feature some of the most renowned thespians of this country such as Cherry Pie Picache, Laureen Uy and Glydel Mercado. Also included in the cast are young stars Jolo Revilla, Xian Lim and Matteo Gudecelli.
I was able to watch the 1st 5 episodes that will be aired on its first week, and I must say that the show has promise. The inclusion of great actors Ai-Ai and Gina Pareño as well as the quiet confidence of Kim Chiu made this show fun to watch at times, and will definitely touch your hearts in some scenes. There was a good balance of drama and comedy.
Under the direction of Malou Sevilla, "My Binondo Girl" is primetime's newest drama-comedy series airing this August 22.
A Must Watch: Crazy, Stupid Love Movie Review
Popcorn rating:
In this season where the movie houses are surrounded by movies top-billed by special effects, it is refreshing to see a really good movie that I would categorize as a "full" film. As we watched Crazy, Stupid Love, I have no expectations at all. Which in turn, made me surprised, in a good way!
The movie opens with Steve Carell's character Cal who was shocked when Juliane Moore's character Emily, asked for a divorce. This began the series of turmoils in Cal's life and family, which in turn became a good catastrophe thanks to Ryan Gosling's character, Jacob Palmer the single, self-assured playboy who taught him the ways to a woman's heart…or more often than not… pants.
The movie interestingly welcomed the audience through the different stages of love without sounding preachy. It was entertaining and teaches a lesson without trying to. That formula as I've seen in the other films starring Carell is something that I'll call magic. His interview says it all:
I think the idea of love in its many forms is a very universal sort of theme. It's hard to describe this movie as a love story, because I think it's so much more than that. I think people usually think of love stories as purely a romantic love between a man and a woman, and this movie is about that. But it's also about friendships and the love inherent there, a love between a family. So, I think it connects to people because it seems genuine. It doesn't seem to push or force, and without being too precious with it, seems to represent these different relationships and how they weave into one another in an organic way.
Smurfaliciously Cute: The Smurfs Movie Review
A great movie to start your weekend, I must say that The Smurfs film is not going to be a critics favorite. But I am going to write this movie review in my kid-at-heart cap. This is me giving everyone a heads up ok?
One important thing readers is that it is best to bring your kids or your nieces and nephews or grandkids to watch this film because this film is genuinely for kids.
The film opens in the cutesy (I'll be using cute a lot in this review, I tell ya) Smurfs Village with the Smurfs living peacefully. The peace however was disrupted by the evil Gargamel, which caused Gutsy, Grouchy, Clumsy, Papa, Brainy and Smurfette to leave their safe, peaceful Smurf village and morph into this strange old city called New York.
This movie is a lighthearted, fun-centered film which will captivate the young moviegoers. The film brought me back to my childhood when I was able to catch; I think a handful of the cartoon series. (The Smurfs was available in Cartoon Network for a short while too but I was not able to follow the series.)
I would have to say that this movie is never going to be a critic's favorite due to the shallowness of the storyline, the tongue-in-cheek humor and a not so amusing dialogue. But I believe this movie did not make an effort to really please the elusive taste of the critics. It encouraged us to be shallow and just have fun and "sing a happy song." Read more…

I love Turkish food! Not only because it tastes delicious but also because it is truly local.
Turkey is one of the few countries that can feed its entire population.
And, as Turkey becomes a more popular destination for North American travellers, so interest in Turkish cuisine is picking up and we are seeing more Turkish influences in local food stores, cafes and restaurants.
Several people have written to ask if I will be leading a culinary tour of Turkey in 2011. Well ... in answer to that question, I do have several meetings lined up in October with my contacts in different regions of Turkey to discuss possibilities. I don't believe that such an itinerary should just be about food, but I do believe that food is a looking glass into a culture and so it is important not to just taste food, but to also understand the origin and cultural relevance of ingredients and dishes. And so, any itinerary will be designed with this and also the historic influence on the country's cuisine.
If you would me to keep you informed on culinary tours of Turkey, please contact me.

Traveling last year through South Africa, was able to buy LINDT "Intense Coffee" 3.5 oz. bars at the Woolworth stores. Manufactured in France.
Never seen since. They are / were part of the "Excellence" Intense series at around 70% cacao content, if I remember correctly. Of course, as many of us know, Lindt is tinkering with recipes and has shifted North American production to their plant in New Hampshire.
Anyone know where I can procure these outstanding slabs? Wondering if there still made, since Lindt's own site shows no sign of them. Anyone notice a change in product quality since the migration of "Intense" bars from France?

Britain's Astronomer Royal Joins Calls for More Research
Britain's official Astronomer Royal, Martin Rees, has added his voice to recent calls for more research into geoengineering (for example, see Gore Down, Suzuki in the Middle on Geoengineering, 8/26). Lord Rees, a former president of the Royal Society and current professor of cosmology at Cambridge University, made his appeal in closing remarks delivered at the British Science Festival in Newcastle on Thursday. Research is warranted, Rees declared, due to the risks posed by global warming: "If the effect [of heightened CO2 levels] is strong, and the world consequently seems on a rapidly warming trajectory into dangerous territory, there may be a pressure for 'panic measures' ... These would have to involve a 'Plan B' - being fatalistic about continuing dependence on fossil fuels, but combating its effects by some form of geoengineering." But Rees was careful to underscore the serious problems that would accompany any turn to geoengineering: "Geoengineering would be an utter political nightmare: not all nations would want to adjust the thermostat the same way." The position of Astronomer Royal, while honorary, is very prestigious, and Rees' comments will likely carry some weight among the broader public.

Promoting Wellness in the Classroom
Good hygiene in early child care settings is essential for reducing the risk of infection between children and adults, and helps young children develop healthy habits that they will use throughout their lives. Infection can be spread through direct physical contact between children, airborne through coughing and sneezing, or from contact with various surfaces. While it's impossible for child care providers to prevent the spread of all infections, it's important to promote a healthy and hygienic environment to minimize the spread of harmful bacteria. For more information on health and hygiene in the classroom, read CCEI's December Newsletter!

Here's where I fall down: I get caught up in how important Ancient Greece was to me when I was a kid, how lectures on the Golden Age of Athens are the first time I remember paying attention in school - I even go off on how Greek Mythology got me into comics via Wonder Woman. Or maybe it was Wonder Woman via Greek Mythology? It's chicken and eggs at this point. The problem with all of this glorious nostalgia is that A THOUSAND SHIPS is not a book for kids. Which is not to say that a young teen wouldn't get anything out of it, in fact, I could see a precocious 13 year old becoming obsessed with the minutiae of the Trojan War with A THOUSAND SHIPS as a guide. But it's not for kids. Follow me here?
A THOUSAND SHIPS is a well-researched retelling of the Trojan War, as Shanower has pieced it together from various sources - literary and historical, that manages to clarify without simplifying. We learn in A THOUSAND SHIPS, for instance, that while Helen was most certainly a woman of great beauty when women were primarily valued for such things, and while Helen's capture could certainly be called the inciting incident in the Trojan War, politics and geography played no small part in launching those thousand ships.
Oh, and Paris appears to have been kind of a jerk.
If I wasn't afraid it was copping out to describe Shanower's style by describing what it's not, I would call him "unaffected." If I wasn't afraid I'd scare off readers with Liberal Arts degrees, I'd call A THOUSAND SHIPS "scholarly." I'm afraid of both of those things, though, so let's just end this here.

Persecuted churches are in great need of additional funding and aid. They experience lower attending based on persecution and the member numbers are declining. This is why they can use all of the help that they can possibly get to continue to stay up and running. More aid is definitely needed.
Yes, it is important to provide aid worldwide to those being persecuted because of their beliefs. We are fortunate in American to have the freedom to worship, although we still face many racial injustices. For example, 60 countries are prosecuting Christians. We should stand together under one faith, one God, and support one another.

|Home | About | Contact | Vitamins for Schizophrenia
Well I managed another good night at work; working hard and getting a lift home. I also discussed a little law and security with other guards. There are other people with schizophrenia involved in this profession either as relatives or other.
I stayed up until now and am presently on call for victims support. I also am volunteering on Monday and Tuesday then have Wednesday off volunteering and volunteer again on Thursday and Friday. But then I have Saturday and Sunday off of work and off of volunteering. From Sunday today until Friday this coming week I will volunteer for 24+2 hours in victims support, 4 hours in my self help group, 4 hours for the disabled community generally and will miss four hours of volunteering because of an emergency board meeting.
I will not work at all this week. But I will be finding out tomorrow what my assignments are for teaching assistant work this term. Work probably starts next week or the week after in my statistics and mathematics teaching job.Posted by petert at January 9, 2005 02:17 PM | TrackBack

Villa Vianney
On June 19, 2009, Pope Benedict XIV affirmed St. Jean-Baptiste-Marie Vianney, Curé of Ars, as the patron of all priests. The date marks the 150th anniversary of St. John Vianneys death. St. John Vianney was born at Dardilly, near Lyons, France, on 8 May, 1786 to Matthieu Vianney and Marie Beluze. He was not known as a particularly strong student and almost flunked out of seminary because he could not master Latin. With extreme effort and commitment, he finally passed his courses and was ordained on August 13, 1815.
St. John Vianney respected and loved his role as priest and pastor. He understood the tremendous influence of a priest and stated, A good shepherd, a pastor after Gods heart, is the greatest treasure which the good Lord can grant to a parish and one of the most precious gifts of divine mercy. While serving his parish, he spent much as 18 hours per day in the confessional. Not only did lay people come to him for advice and spiritual direction, but other clergy also sought his wisdom. By 1855, as many as 20,000 people per year traveled from throughout Europe to talk with St. John Vianney. He died at Ars on August 4, 1859.

Tattoo removal techniques
Clear away your tattoo by applying the suggestions discovered in this article and spend less than you would have otherwise spent on high-priced surgical treatment techniques or undependable products.
There is no valid reason to bear the unwanted tattoos any longer now that there are many Tattoo Removal specialists in London! Keep studying to know more about eradicating tattoos from the body.
Purposes for Tattoo Eliminating
Tattoos aren't just a distinctive manner of expression. They might also be perceived a critical part of art and culture. Although the craze of tattoos is continually boosting, you can find folks who gravely desire to get their tattoo eradicated. It's not uncommon for people who have formerly regarded them being a joke to remorse their fast decision for getting a tattoo.
Unattractive Tattoos
Having an undesired tattoo produces many limitations for commercial and social interactions. They can emit the wrong perception about any person or get them having difficulties.
It is thought that over half of individuals who paid a visit to a tattoo salon at some time in their lives might rapidly eliminate their tattoos if there is an inexpensive, fast and safe strategy easily available to them.
Some need to attempt it for their new profession mainly because their-own tattoos can't be properly covered-up by clothing. Other individuals do not wish to recall their earlier lifetime any further. Perhaps they've just changed a lot, and their present tattoos no longer match their disposition or tastes.
Their connection with the person whose name was featured in a tattoo would've changed, or perhaps the emotions expressed in the text are no longer shared by the individual that wears it on their physique. Whatever the cause, it's significant that you clear away your tattoo with risk-free and inexpensive tactics that don't require over a single applying.
Known Tattoo Removal Approaches
Commercial tattoos are created by embedding specific ink to your skin that causes it hard to get rid of your tattoos later in life. Nevertheless, there are various reliable strategies that may allow you with that.
Light beam Tattoo Removals
Laser tattoo deletion procedures have turned the most popular tactic to clear away the tattoos due to their performance. However, it's commonly quite costly and sore.
A single practice often doesn't achieve the required results and individuals return for additional sessions of laser therapy.
As the laser erases more of tattoo ink in the body system, it also seeps your skin itself more deeply with every try. This can turn a trigger of tissue damage and also some scars, which isn't the best compromise one could expect.
Intensive Pulsed Light Treatment method
The Intensive Pulsed Light treatment method is a substitute to laser eyebrow tattoo removal specialists that similarly deploys intense light. It's stated to hurt considerably less than conventional laser treatment, but many medical experts(tattoo removal experts) don't recommend applying it to get rid of their tattoo.
Tattoo Removal Creams
While there aren't any conclusive studies on the effect of various aggressive creams on tattoo removal, there are many good customer reactions and product reviews which claim they might help you eliminate your tattoo. The results can be seen and more updated affordable tattoo removal courses are always becoming available.
