Aftermath thoughts on Saturday's game.
The midfield
If we're missing Dembele we have no natural cover to play alongside Sandro. Huddlestone and Livermore are not replacements. Tommy has been out of action for a prolonged period of time and I'm not sure he's adaptable to specific roles that Villas-Boas might seek from him. Play him in a deep sitting role or one pushed further up-field, but he'll never be a box-to-box engine player and can't keep up with the pace that's required. He's got vision, he's a brilliant passer of the ball but the formation has to be one that benefits his talents, which might be to the detriment of the side. Under AVB, it's about the formation and tactics and the personnel has to fit into it perfectly. Tommy is not robust enough. I still think he has something offer. But if you dared to experiment with him in the position Sig or Dempsey sit in...that opens up further questions on what we're meant to do with three 'offensive' players?
Interestingly (my memory might be playing tricks) but I'm certain there was a league game against Chelsea a few seasons back where he completely dominated the midfield and was supremely influential. The problem here is that every player has his day (see Jenas for the occasional master-class of effort) but Huddlestone has been consistent for us in the past. Livermore is not quite to the standard of a Sandro. He offers hope but doesn't possess the quality. However he's enjoyed similar cameos (okay, perhaps one) and until Parker is available again we'll have to place faith in the training ground and AVB's selection.
Parker, a brilliant 'dirty work' player, chasing down balls - but his passing is not for the long term in a Villas-Boas inspired midfield.
Back to Sign and Demps - Both Sig and Dempsey still feel outside looking in. I've cited 'mojo' and 'groove' and both are lacking that spark. I really don't think we can be dismissive of this role in the team and how vital it is. If van der Vaart was still in the team (although he's erratic and enjoys to roam) he'd provide that missing spark - although he might not aid in other areas vital to the system. Both Sig and Dempsey are not quite offering a final product yet. Now for a second, imagine their influence if firing on all cylinders. Sig has to put the sexy into Siggy and Dempsey needs to discover the dynamism that he's known for.
Brad v Hugo
There is no contest here (for me). Hugo Lloris is simply a far better goal keeper and footballer. He attacks the ball, he reads the game with intelligence and runs out of his six yard box (to tackle/save) and his distribution is superb. Interestingly, you might compare the striking issue (Defoe or Adebayor?) and wonder how much on current form goes towards selecting the players. Villas-Boas does not favour certain players. That's what we've witnessed so far in his tenure. He plays the best players suited for the job. Regarding the strikers, Adebayor had no pre-season, was injured and Defoe is in form (be it not the perfect all round footballer to compliment our play when not in possession). With the keepers, Lloris fits the bill better allowing for cohesiveness and fluidity from keeper to defence to midfield to attack.
Big test on Villas-Boas this. Loyalty to the long term rather than to single individuals. Lloris needs to start as number one.
Defensive shake-up?
Kyle Walker hasn't shown any signs of improvement. Struggling with his positioning, decision making and lacking discipline. Does he need a rest? Does he need competition? Does he need instructions on perhaps holding back from the offensive mind-set all the time and try to focus on the basics to rebuild his faith in himself? All questions I don't have to answer. The coaching staff are responsible for the player and the effect it has on the team. Naughton could provide the competition and rest-bite.
Gallas, a player that I believed to be spent at the end of last season has shown how valuable his experience can be then let's himself (and us) down with a fairly shoddy performance (clearances and possession, lack of). Long term, Jan Vertonghen has to partner Caulker in the centre with BAE back at left-back. I've mentioned this in the match report - when we have Kaboul available there is strength in abundance there. Gallas can still offer his experience on the training pitch but too often time appears to be catching up with him out on the pitch. If we're making sacrifices to aid our progression and style under AVB, then surely there is no reason to not line-up with the players that we hope to see cement their positions long term for us. However - all of this is once more dependent on player fitness.
Caulker and Vert = athleticism and pace. Good on the ball. Perfect for the fabled high line.
I guess here, it would be easy to cite 'we need more defenders' - when the reality is we'll have too many when everyone is available. So the nearest short term alternative is...Dawson for Gallas?
You're struggling with that one.
Defoe and Adebayor
European game up next. Will Adebayor get a start? Is he 100% fit? Feels like we need to see 90 minutes from him to actually gauge whether all the talk of him being the better player for the system is actually up to scratch. Adebayor, on song, will bring movement to our play - when in or without possession. We know he can work the channels, we know he can drop back and allow the midfield to push forward. The disadvantage is that (goals disallowed aside) he is not always as instinctive as Defoe is. I'm trying to remain balanced here. Both have their advantages and their negatives. Like for like, Adebayor should displace Defoe - but the player has to prove this to the coach and to us.
Do we need a third striker? Like a crack head needs a smoke.

A questionnaire should have a clear consistent layout, leave adequate space to answer, bear a large font size and appropriate page breaks. Experimental layouts, fancy logos and disturbing features such as "printed on recycled paper/is an equal opportunity employer" should be avoided. In some cases, using colour or printing the questionnaire on coloured paper may help to increase the response. This depends again on the targeted audience and should be discreet and tasteful.
Filter questions may be of use if some questions or a group of questions are targeted to a subgroup of the respondents. This will enable interviewers a smooth flow through the questionnaire and shorten the time to fill in the questionnaire in self-administrated questionnaires. Similarly, it is important to give clear instructions to interviewers or respondents. This will reduce misunderstandings.
Closed questions on a paper questionnaire can be pre-coded. This means that a number is assigned in advance to each possible answer . Coding will enable a quicker and easier data entry. The ideal code numbers depend on the software which will be used for data analysis. Some software packages only accept 0/1 codes for dichotomous variables. In order to avoid time-consuming data cleaning, be careful to choose appropriate and consistent codes for all variables in advance.

During a fund-raiser for Republican Senate candidate Doug Forrester in Trenton, N.J. this week, President Bush said Democrats in the Senate were "more interested in special interests in Washington and not interested in the security of the American people."
"I will not accept a Department of Homeland Security that does not allow this president and future presidents to better keep the American people secure," Mr. Bush said.
Daschle responded by accusing the president of politicizing the discussion of the war on terror and possible military intervention in Iraq.
"We ought not politicize this war. We ought not politicize the rhetoric about war and life and death," Daschle said in a speech on the Senate floor. "You tell those [Democratic senators] who fought in Vietnam and World War II they are not interested in the security of the American people. That is outrageous. Outrageous."
Democratic Sen. Daniel Inouye of Hawaii, who lost an arm during World War II, also expressed disappointment.
"It grieves me when my president makes statements that would divide this nation," he said.
"The president ought to apologize to Sen. Inoue and every veteran who fought in every war who is a Democrat in the United States Senate. He ought to apologize to the American people," Daschle said.
During his speech, Daschle also made reference to news reports from earlier in the year in which White House political adviser Karl Rove urged members of Congress to "focus on war" during their campaigns.
Daschle also targeted Vice President Dick Cheney for reportedly tying a congressional race to the possible war in Iraq. The Topeka, Kansas Courier-Journal headlined an article on a fund-raiser for GOP House hopeful Adam Taff, "Cheney talks about Iraq at congressional fund-raiser/ Electing Taff would aid war effort."
"First it was pollsters, then it was White House staff, and then it was the vice president, and all along I was asked, are you concerned about whether or not this war is politicized, and my answer on every occasion was yes," Daschle said.
Later in the day, Senate Republican leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.) responded to Daschle's statements, saying he was "deeply saddened by the tone and tenor" of the comments.
"Who is the enemy here?" asked Lott. "The President of the United States or Saddam Hussein?"
The verbal fireworks comes as the Senate continues debate over the Homeland Defense Act and as Congress begins to consider the president's resolution authorizing the use of force to enforce United Nations resolutions concerning Iraq.
"I think that Sen. Daschle needs to cool the rhetoric. We've got a lot of work to do," Lott said. "We need to do it in a nonpartisan way. Accusations of that type are not helpful."

I want to share with the entire community an update related to the May 1 hate crime that occurred on campus. The United States Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia has joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation to assist the American University Police Department with the investigation.
Although the university and law enforcement agencies will not comment further on details of the investigation, I want everyone in our community to understand that, as we approach commencement, we are working as hard as we can to identify those responsible for the egregious, racist, hateful act. As always, ensuring our students' safety remains paramount. As soon as we are able, we will keep you informed of important developments.
Moreover, we realize that we must identify effective strategies for improving the climate as soon as possible. We are committed to working with the members of our community to make progress on this issue.

Obama's ISIS pressure point is Dems' worst nightmare
**Want FOX News First in your inbox every day? Sign up here.**
Buzz Cut:
• Obama's ISIS pressure point is dems worst nightmare
• Rand: Dems fear 'war hawk' Hillary
• Hagan vexed at Obama ahead of North Carolina visit
• Power Play: Oregon's purple politics
• Gridiron granny gets her man
As if the pressure of running under President Obama's domestic policies wasn't bad enough for vulnerable Democrats, the administration's quandary over what to do about the ravages of the Islamist terror group ISIS is making the squeeze unbearable. Back in Washington from his two week vacation, the president hunkers down with senior advisors at the White House today. Among those meetings, a session with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, who warned ISIS "is beyond anything that we've seen." Republican hawks seized on the comments Sunday, hammering Obama to take more aggressive action and exhibit leadership in place of a "feckless" foreign policy. Meanwhile Democrats, who have been tepidly supportive or staying under the radar during the administration's limited air strikes in Iraq, have another policy crisis to run away from as their chances of holding control of the Senate look increasingly remote. President Obama may be under pressure to act quickly, but he has already said a solution in Iraq is "a long term project." That's little consolation for those on the president's team facing voters just 10 weeks from now, no matter which policy direction he chooses.
["The president has got to come forward with a cohesive, comprehensive strategy, not only in Iraq, but also in Ukraine, also in other parts of the world. This is an administration which the kindest word I can use is feckless, where they have not outlined a role that the United States of America has to play, and that's a leadership role. No more leading from behind. No more don't do stupid stuff." –Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., on "Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace." ]
Limited effect - WSJ: "The leading options under consideration for strikes in Syria—if Mr. Obama decides to expand the fight—are narrow in scope, designed to prevent the Islamic State from carrying out any plots that threaten Americans and from resupplying its forces in neighboring Iraq. Officials played down prospects for a broad-based campaign to uproot and destroy Islamic State's vast fighting force in Syria."
[From 'jayvee' to 'beyond just a terrorist group' - The Hill offers a history of the Obama administration's view of the Islamic militant group ISIS.]
Dempsey downplays threat - Fox News: "Despite threats to the contrary, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff insisted the Islamic State terror group is a regional threat and said he would not recommend U.S. airstrikes in Syria until he determines that they have become a direct threat to the U.S. Gen. Martin Dempsey, speaking to reporters on board a military plane traveling to Afghanistan, said Sunday that he believes the Sunni insurgent group formerly known as ISIS is not currently plotting or planning attacks against the U.S. or Europe." Dempsey said Thursday ISIS insists must be targeted in Syria to be defeated.
NYT: "While the risk to the United States and the West is real, those paying the biggest price are Muslims. That's why President Obama was correct to argue that 'from governments and peoples across the Middle East, there has to be a common effort to extract this cancer so that it does not spread.' Making this happen will take American leadership, but, so far, neither he nor America's allies have laid out a coherent vision of how to bring that about."

Gov. Jay Nixon, D-Mo., declined to offer a tacit endorsement of St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch, who is handling the case involving the shooting of an unarmed teen ager in Ferguson, Mo. "He's democratically elected by overwhelming numbers, and reelected," Nixon responded when asked by CNN if he supported the Democratic prosecutor, who has held office since 1991. "I think clearly he has the experience, the people here have elected him," Nixon said. "You don't want to pre-judge any of this." Protestors in the St. Louis suburb have been critical of McCulloch's objectivity in the case, pointing to his family ties among the St. Louis Police Department and the death of his father while responding to a call involving a black suspect.
Carson offers prescription for Ferguson - Fox News: "Ben Carson, a rising star in conservative politics, said Sunday that race is just one factor surrounding the police shooting of the unarmed black 18-year-old Michael Brown – repeating his message that more personal responsibility and America's failure to provide better economic opportunity to minorities also play a major role. 'I'm not sure this is a police versus blacks situation,' he said during an exchange on 'Fox News Sunday' with civil rights leader Jesse Jackson…Jackson compared the Aug. 9 shooting of Brown to a 'state execution' and said it was part of a larger pattern of attacks on black males, also naming Trayvon Martin and Rodney King… 'But we come at it from a different point of view' said Carson, an Independent and potential 2016 presidential candidate. 'Some of the worn-out policies of the do-gooders are not working.'''
Hillary stays silent - BuzzFeed: "…Hillary Clinton left a book signing on Sunday afternoon as two reporters asked questions about the protests in Ferguson, Missouri. Clinton ignored them, exiting the bookstore through a backdoor…in the two weeks since the police shooting of Michael Brown, a black teenager, Clinton has not commented on the unrest in the St. Louis suburb."
Breakfast is often called the "most important meal of the day." Conventional wisdom says the first meal of the day provides a boost to your metabolism and will decrease your waist line. But scientific evidence for those claims has been sparse. Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham found early-hour eating didn't result in any increase or decrease of weight among those participating in the study. Emily Dhurandhar, the assistant professor at the UAB who conducted the study says in terms of weight loss "breakfast may be just another meal." Another new study from the University of Bath (UK) discovered that breakfast neither increased nor decreased a person's overall energy. "It is certainly true that people who regularly eat breakfast tend to be slimmer and healthier but these individuals also typically follow most other recommendations for a healthy lifestyle, so have more balanced diets and take more physical exercise," said Dr. James Betts, a lead researcher in the study.

Fox News: "[Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.] a leading anti-interventionist, predicted in an interview aired Sunday on NBC's 'Meet the Press' that the 2016 White House race will be a 'transformational election' if Democrats nominate 'a war hawk like Hillary Clinton'…Paul said Sunday that Democrats' biggest 2016 fear is him running in the general election with a lot of Independent and some Democratic voters saying 'You know what? We are tired of war. … We're worried that Hillary Clinton will get us involved in another Middle Eastern war, because she's so gung-ho'…Michael Czin, spokesman for the Democratic National Committee, said Sunday that Democrats are eager to debate Paul about 'his fringe, isolationist vision,' which Czin says includes plans to end all aid to foreign allies, including Israel."
South Carolina News and Press: "If Sen. Marco Rubio [R-Fla.] wants to win the GOP presidential nomination in 2016, he'll likely have to impress voters in South Carolina, which holds the nation's first Southern primary. On Monday, the Florida Republican will get a chance to do just that when he headlines a barbecue fundraiser for Rep. Jeff Duncan in Anderson [R-S.C.] that's expected to draw 1,500, including most of the state's top Republicans."
Chicago Sun-Times: "Vice President Joe Biden hits Chicago on Monday…Biden's day trip to the city is to headline fundraisers for Gov. Pat Quinn and the House Democratic political operation and to pitch a minimum wage increase with [Chicago Democratic] Mayor Rahm Emanuel…"
WaPo: "Former U.S. Sen. Jim Webb [D-Va.] touched down in Iowa, announced plans to hit New Hampshire and launched a new presence on social media this week — renewing speculation about whether the decorated war veteran who left the Senate after one term is considering a run for president. The Iowa swing had everything: campaign events, phone banks, a speech to union organizers and a veterans roundtable — all chronicled for the world to see on the Twitter account of Webb, D-Va.,…If his actions suggest a 2016 bid could be in his future, Webb insists he's simply eager to spread a message of economic fairness and social justice, a realigned foreign policy and an end to executive overreach."
Fox News: "The Democratic National Committee, or DNC, approved rules for its 2016 convention along with a primary schedule that will begin with the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 1, 2016, followed by voting later that month in New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina. The 2016 framework is in line with plans pushed by Republicans and gives states incentives to hold their primary contests between March and June, aiming to avoid a front-loaded calendar that encroaches on the Christmas holidays."
Roll Call: "Sen. Kay Hagan doesn't sound thrilled President Barack Obama is coming to town. The North Carolina Democrat, one of the most vulnerable senators, issued a terse statement about Obama's veterans policy ahead of his planned Tuesday visit to her home state. The White House announced late Friday that Obama will deliver remarks at the American Legion's 96th National Convention. The appearance gave Hagan an opportunity to criticize the president in the wake of a scandal that has captured national attention. Hagan's office blasted her statement just 31 minutes after the White House released the schedule. 'The Obama Administration has not yet done enough to earn the lasting trust of our veterans and implement real and permanent reforms at the VA,' Hagan said. She added, 'I hope to hear the President address these challenges at the American Legion's National Convention in Charlotte. I will be there to discuss some of the steps I want to see taken in Washington to uphold the commitment our government has made to North Carolina's veterans.'''
New Hampshire Republican Senate hopeful Scott Brown is seizing on a recent poll showing he has narrowed Sen. Jean Shaheen's, D-N.H., lead with a new Web ad featuring news reports touting his momentum.
Minneapolis Star-Tribune: "U.S. [Republican] Senate candidate Mike McFadden has partnered with the National Republican Senatorial Committee and Republican Party of Minnesota to create McFadden Minnesota Victory Committee, a joint fundraising committee for his campaign against Democratic incumbent Sen. Al Franken…Federal law still limits how much donors can give to each individual candidate and party, but donors can give to as many candidates and parties as they like. So teaming up to raise money with like-minded groups and candidates has become more lucrative."
In the latest edition of "Power Play with Chris Stirewalt" Chris talks with Oregon Republican Senate candidate Monica Wehby. Watch as Wehby makes her case for why the political climate in the Beaver state could tilt the balance of power in the Senate in favor of Republicans this November. Wehby is challenging freshman Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley.
Daily Beast: "Freedom Partners, an Arlington, Va.-based group affiliated with the Koch Brothers, is set to drop $3.6 million dollars in the race on [Republican Monica Wehby's] behalf against [Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore.]. 'Oregonians deserve effective leadership and Freedom Partners will continue to hold Sen. Merkley accountable for his bad votes on issues like Obamacare, and his ineffective record,' said James Davis, a spokesman for the group. But Freedom Partners' decision to enter the fray is not just about animus towards Merkley, who is simultaneously one of the more liberal and more obscure members of the Democratic caucus in the Senate. Instead, there's a hope that Wehby might actually win, albeit with difficulty."
Republicans can capture the Senate with a net gain of six seats this cycle. Which six Democrat-held Senate seats are the most vulnerable in November? Here are the top picks among Fox News First readers: Arkansas (13.6%), Montana (12.1%), Louisiana (11.5%), West Virginia (11.3%), South Dakota (10.9%) and North Carolina (9.6%). Reader John William Gibson of Coos Bay, Ore., makes the case for the Beaver State writing, "Although Oregon has been a solid blue for about 16 years, the tide is turning…CoverOregon was the biggest single failure in the ObamaCare rollout, and is now entirely scrapped." Gibson adds, "[Republican Monica Wehby] can use the anti-Democrat mood to close that gap and very possibly pick up that seat.
Share your top six picks. Email them – just your top six, please – to firstname.lastname@example.com or tweet @cstirewalt.
Gov. Scott Walker, R-Wis., is hitting the airwaves to promote his jobs records. In a new ad, Walker appears saying, "Before we took office, 133,000 Wisconsin workers had lost their jobs…Today, even Lambeau Field couldn't hold the more than 100,000 people who have gotten a job since we took office."
[WSJ: "On Friday the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals responded to a media request and released documents that had been sealed as part of a John Doe probe into [Gov. Scott Walker's] fund-raising. The court's clerk also bungled and released, for a brief period, some documents that weren't supposed to be unsealed, including donor names and references to bank records. Unless you're a political Bambi, the only news in the documents is further evidence that the prosecutors are operating on an unconstitutional interpretation of campaign-finance law… The real outrage here concerns the damage to the privacy of potential donors who under federal rules for 501(c) groups can keep their names private. Liberals want to require such disclosure so they can embarrass or intimidate donors from exercising their First Amendment rights."]
A Pasco, Washington grandmother flexed her strong-arm of the law when she aided police in apprehending a suspect that escaped. When Becky Powell saw Joseph Lewis Fry running from police she told her husband to speed up and get in front of the suspect. As the car was still in motion she jumped out of the car and "got into a football stance," and tackled Fry. Powell told the Tri-City Herald. "He stiff-armed me and I just wrapped him up and threw him on the ground." Powell said. For good measure Powell whispered to the suspect, "How does it feel to be taken down by a mother of five and a grandmother of three?"

Friends hear teenager die on Skype after taking Ecstasy and LSD overdose
A teenager holding a Skype conversation with a friend heard him collapse from a drugs overdose and die.
Jack Sainsbury and two friends were having an online chat with Patrick McMullen, 17, when he keeled over, an inquest was told.
Earlier in the conversation, Patrick had confessed to taking Ecstasy and three LSD tabs while alone at his parents' house. A little later he started slurring his words, there were sounds of "banging around" and then silence.
Jack, 17, tried calling Patrick on his mobile, then raised the alarm when he failed to answer. An ambulance went to the McMullens' home in Puddletown, Dorset, but Patrick was found dead on his bedroom floor,
His father, James, a retired Merchant Navy captain, and his mother, Collete,…

Every day over 10,000 humans are born in the U.S. -- and each day 70,000 puppies and kittens are born. As long as these birth rates exist, there will never be enough homes for all the animals. As a result, every year 4 to 6 million animals are euthanized because there aren't enough homes for them. Only 1 in 9 cats and dogs born in the U.S. will find a home. The rest will be killed on the highways or destroyed because no one wants them. About 80% of the dogs hit by vehicles each year are un-neutered males. At the same time, 90% of the millions of cats killed on the roadways are unsterilized. Feral cats tend to get into fights and wander more.
Fixing your pet decreases their urge to wander and increases their chance of living a longer, healthier life. You can be part of the solution to the thousands of dogs and cats dying each year in West Virginia if you will just spay and neuter your own pets. According to statistics from the Federation of Humane Organizations in West Virginia, approximately 100,000 animals are euthanized every year in our state at local shelters. Would you like to be the one who had to decide which one was going to die?
Some people think that neutering their pets may hurt them. Actually, neutering helps prevent some of the harmful medical problems for animals and decreases their chances of getting cancer. Neutering also deters high-risk behavior such as roaming, getting into fights, and mating. So, neutering your pet doesn't hurt -- it helps. Neutered cats are less likely to spray and mark their territory. In addition, spayed and neutered pets are better, more affectionate companions.

The fact that we use fossil fuels at 81% of our energy consumption today might indicate that it a valuable commodity that needs to be extracted.

My sister and I spent a month in Paris when we were in college. I loved the food, the slower pace of life and of course all the cafes. This might sound strange, but we actually ate in a lot pizzerias. Even compared to New York (don't hate me NYC), the best pizza I've ever had was in Paris – although I haven't been to Italy…yet. Parisians do crazy things like throw an egg on top, which is totally amazing! My favorite part was the spicy oil that all the restaurants had on the table to drizzle on top. It just gave it a little je ne sais qui!
This was my attempt to recreate that wonderful flavor, and I was really pleased at how it turned out. I also found out that this stuff is good on pasta like my Creamy Mushroom & Spinach Pasta and Breakfast Spaghetti. It would also make a good addition to any stir fry, soups, eggs or anything you wish to add a hint of spice.
You will need just a few things to make this. A small bottle, a funnel, red chili flakes and good olive oil. This bottle had something else in it, and I saved it because I thought it would come in handy one day.
I used 1/2 tsp of chili flakes. I know it says 1/4 tsp, but I used two spoonfuls. Using a funnel makes it easier to get it in the bottle without making a huge mess.
Then fill your bottle with olive oil. I said good quality because you will taste it more eating on top of things as opposed to if you were cooking with it.
When the bottle is full, put the lid on and shake it up. It's really pretty! It will need to sit for 4-6 weeks for maximum flavor. This would make a great Christmas present for the foodies in your circle!
I hope this adds a little spice to your life!

If you are planning on a vacation to Toronto, you would certainly want to make the most of it. A city as cosmopolitan as this would surely need a lot of your time o make sure that everything is placed and set ahead of time. You do want to make sure that you are getting the most out of the experience and this is a good time for you to look around and explore the place to make the most of your travel experience.
Before you get your itinerary planned though, it is important that you will first find out what are the likely credentials that you might need. There are certainly some requirement andrequisites that you are expected o meet before you will be allowed entrance to the country and you need to see to it that all these requirements are met.
For instance, you are going to need a passport. If you have to secure one yet, then it is about time that you make inquiries on what the process is in your country for securing one and see to it that you follow this process to get one released to you as soon as possible. You are going to need to check too if there are fees that you need to pay and how much time it is that you need to wait before the document is delivered to you.
For those who already have a passport, it isimportant to check if to is able to meet the requirements set as far as entry to the country goes. For instance, one must measure that there are at least six months before the expiration date on the passport on the day of the travel. In some cases, travelers may also be requiredto have at least 2 blank pages in their passport that have not yet been stamped as well.
Do check if there is a need for you to secure a visa. Some countries may be required by the Canada government to secure a travel or a tourist visa before they will be allowed entry to the country. Do research ahead of time so you are sure that you can have the credentials processed as well, as soon as you can, in the event that it is going to be required of you.
Find out about the airline tickets. This would mean though that you will already have decided on the dates that you will be staying in the country. It is alwaysbest that you will have also decided on the ret date as well. You might be able to save a lot of money when booking yourtickets if you will have it booked round trip. Also, it does not hurt to actually come to the city when it is considered off-peak season for touristsinceticket prices are likely going to be down.
Book ahead of time. A lot of airline companies will offerbetter-discounted rates when you book several months away from the date that you will actually be flying. Just see to it that the date you have chosen will be final and that you have made the necessary arrangements that these dates are really going to b the exact days that you will be going on the trip.
Make sure to research on the accommodations present too. There is a wide array of choices that you can select from. From huge chain hotels to smaller inns and other apartments, you will have several options on how you would prefer to spend your nights when in the city. There are people that would prefer staying at a hotel while there are others that would rather go for the simpler and smaller accommodations that apartment rentals can offer. Regardless of what you would prefer though, see to it that you will have the necessary places booked ahead of time to ensure that they will be the ready and waiting for you on the day of your arrival.
Decide on places that you want to visit and check out too. It is always good to have an itinerary when you go traveling. But this does not mean though that you will haveto stick to it as rigidly as you can. The purpose of this is to make sure that you have a guide or a checklist of the things that you want to do while you are there. There is no need for you to have to rigidly follow what you havewritten in there. Remember, the best thing is to enjoy the experience.

NEW YORK (AP) - A New York City police official apologized Friday to a rape victim he helped discredit almost 24 years ago.
Deputy Commissioner John Miller said in a statement sent to the woman's lawyer that he was wrong to tell reporters that police doubted the woman's account of being raped in Brooklyn's Prospect Park.
Police said this week that they had finally solved the crime by matching DNA found on the victim to a serial rapist who is in prison for other attacks.
Miller, then the chief police spokesman, told reporters in 1994 that detectives believed there were inconsistencies in the woman's story.
Miller said in his apology that "Inappropriately sharing this information, which was the speculation of investigators, and ultimately proved to be incorrect, was a serious misjudgment on my part." He added, "It re-victimized a person who was already the victim of a terrible crime. I sincerely apologize to her for that."
The woman's attorney, Martin Garbus, said Miller's apology was not enough.
"Miller and the police did not make a bookkeeping mistake," Garbus said in an email to The Associated Press. "The police because of racism and sexism abused Jane Doe and called an honest woman a liar and hoaxer."
The woman, now 51 years old, is African-American. The Associated Press does not generally identify victims of sexual assault.
Miller, now the deputy commissioner for counterterrorism and intelligence, was a source for Daily News columnist Mike McAlary, who wrote that police believed the attack was a "hoax."
McAlary wrote at the time that police sources had told him that the woman invented her story because she wanted to bolster a speech she was to give at a rally about violence against lesbians.
"The woman, who will probably end up being arrested herself, invented the crime, they said, to promote her rally," McAlary wrote in a column called "Rape hoax the real crime."
The woman sued McAlary for libel but a judge dismissed the case in part because McAlary had been relying on information from police. McAlary died in 1998.
The woman was raped in Prospect Park while walking home with groceries on April 26, 1994. Police released a sketch based on her description of the attacker, but no arrests were made.
The Police Department announced Tuesday that modern DNA analysis methods had led to a match with serial rapist Edward Webb, who is serving 75 years to life in prison.
Webb had been charged with 10 other rapes over several decades. He told police he denied raping the woman in the 1994 case.
The woman said in a statement released by her Garbus, that she was grateful that Webb was finally brought to justice.
She said being called a liar by police sources "had a silencing effect on me, to say the least. I paid a terrible, terrible price for my #MeToo."
She added that "stories of assault are still discounted; cases are not vigorously prosecuted. Schools and workplaces deal with sexual assaults as internal disciplinary matters instead of as what they are - crimes."
In the statement, which came hours before Miller's apology, she called for apologies from him and from the NYPD and the Daily News.
The statements by Miller and the woman were first reported in the New York Post.

Hi friends,
We had a most pleasant surprise yesterday (Sunday). Sorcha, our new goat, gave birth to 2 beautiful little does at 1:30 pm.
Our breeder had told us she was pregnant, but we didn't think she was since she was so small, especially compared to how huge Helena is when she is pregnant.
Compared to Helena, Sorcha looked malnourished. ;)
But, when the boys went out to the barn yesterday at 1:00, they came back saying Sorcha was acting as if she was in labor. I went to the barn, and sure enough, she was. I came back to the house, gathered some supplies, and went back to the barn about 10 minutes later. And in that short amount of time, she had already delivered the first baby, and was cleaning her. We figured that would be the only one since Sorcha was so small. We decided there was no way she could have more than one.
We were helping Sorcha clean off the baby, when Ian said, "Mom, another one is coming!" I looked over and sure enough, there was another baby on the way. But Sorcha's rear end was right at her water bucket, and the baby was heading right into it! I jumped behind Sorcha and caught the baby just before she landed in the bucket. Whew! Never a dull moment around here! :)
We haven't named them yet (I am open for suggestions), but they are so cute!
Girls - finally! We had been praying for females so we could get more milk for our family, and He answered. We are so thankful! :)
Both babies are doing great, and since they are both females, we are considering keeping both of them.
Have a great day, friends!

6 Innovative Ways to Use Principles of Psychology to Boost Brand Engagement
Brands have two primary objectives. The first one is to strengthen their customers' trust, relationship, commitment, and loyalty. And the second is to leverage opportunities for businesses. All of which are achievable through engagement.
Engagement, by marketing definition, simply means encouraging target audience to do something as a response to your social feeds such as like, share, comment, click to open the picture, click the link, etc. It's not just a one-sided interaction with, but rather a line of open communication over a period.
Numerous factors contribute to the level or volume of engagement your brand is receiving especially on social channels. Most of them are driven by principles of psychology to increase engagements between users who follow brands.
What Psychology Has to Say
The brainchild of brand building is human psychology. It has established itself as an invaluable factor in marketing where the margin of action and expenditure of awareness interchanges themselves into significant changes on the bottom line of a campaign. And getting a message across that can spark right emotions, sentiments and psychological responses are the best avenues to reach other people.
The only downside here is that you can't please everyone all the time. Humans, by nature, fall into the different type of personality boxes. Hence, it can be tricky for brand messaging as the audience will likely bound to all kinds of personality. It's the area where social and digital have an advantage across traditional media - they allow you to engage.
To generate this psychological influence that can evoke consumer decision-making in favor of a brand, follow the principles below.
Understand Your Audience
Before starting any branding campaign, always remember that regardless of how diverse your audience is, either by age or location, every interaction boils down to two things: needs and wants. Needs are the basic things you certainly need to live and survive. On the flip side, wants are the things you don't need as necessities but make you feel good about your life.
It's the second emotion that you should aim, for no one needs to follow a particular brand page, people just do so because they wThe brainchild of brand building is human psychology.

ant to. For such case, brand pages must offer contents that are insightful, entertaining, funny, amazing, nostalgic, shocking, or informative to the audience.
While it's normal to think of ourselves as logical people, the truth is that we're more responsive to things that evoke an emotional response. You need to acknowledge this fact if you want to understand your audience. And while you can promote yourself and post company announcements, you need to remember that it's always a two-way street and that your audience must benefit something out of it.
Give Your Audience a Reason to Act
In a marketing perspective, it can be hard to look for a cause that falls perfectly in the middle of being cynical and inspiring. But it's possible for as long as you don't resort to competitions on "like and share" concept, which is against the terms and conditions of Facebook and other social channels.
Take your cue from Two Girls And A Puppy, a popular Facebook page that went viral. For those who don't know about the page, it's about two daughters who made a bet with their father that if they get one million likes, he'll give them a puppy. Much to their father's surprise, the page's profile photo got two million likes.
In the example, the engagement started with bets and helped the underdogs achieve what they want. The only downside of this approach is that likes, shares or retweets don't always translate into long term engagement. A single hit will make people aware of your page and get you coverage, but you have to give them a feasible reason to follow you.
Build a Sense of Familiarity
A person will more likely endorse or recommend a brand if he or she knows it, that much is obvious. Thus, you will need to capitalize more social media pages if you want to boost that sense of familiarity. The hard part though is building it up.
With thousands of social pages in different channels, competition is now becoming stiffer and more difficult. For one, it will mean regular content posting because the more posts you have, the more chances you'll get to appear in the news feeds of your audience. This action, in return, builds up more sense of familiarity.
Apart from being an excellent platform to draw attention, social media allows you to take a more proactive approach. You just need to look beyond the attention you get and focus more on the conversation happening around you. Through the combination of search and your company news feed, you'll know when people have problems or queries that need answers.
No one expects a company to help, but when they do out of genuine intention, the return is very rewarding. It can be more than the engagement that you hope.
Stimulate Creative Emotions
Brands love to be loved. But most of the time, they fail to inject love or any emotion to their campaigns. It's no longer sufficient that your brand's social page 'looks good,' although it's the obvious starting point, you need to evoke more emotions from your audience.
According to James-Lange theory, emotion comes from physical stimuli (I am laughing, I must be happy), rather than a physical stimulus that comes from emotion (I am happy, that's why I'm laughing). Although it's not fully accepted yet, both approaches have an intrinsic relation.
It may seem like a world away from brand message and engagement, but when tied with memory, you may consider the following:
The message's creative part persuades a reaction or builds on memory to prompt response.
Responses create an emotion, either combined or designed with the cognitive dissonance approach in making the audience more responsive.
The message aligns the brand against the desired emotion in a continuous manner.
The brand, the audience, and the emotion start to align together.
Brand messages should start engaging beyond utilities and flat visual strategies. It could be an area where they need to stimulate the audience's cognitive processes and other senses.
Take your cue from the videos that move from neutral backgrounds to people or objects screaming and jumping out of the screen. Create something shocking. You need to work in this manner. Look for a destination where you can take your audience after shocking them. Think about what emotions you want them to feel on a long-term basis.
Reflect and Project
According to Charles Horton Cooley's 'looking glass self' concept, we create pictures of ourselves through our perceptions and interactions with others. Now that we're living in a digital age, our interactions on social media platforms are increasing.
This self-projection in social channels includes an inspirational self that people wish to become themselves. As you seek for greater brand engagement through brand advocates in social media, you can use your brand's message to let potential advocates wrap themselves with the brand's reflected value.
Hence, Cooley's concept into social media self-expression involves the following:
We visualize how appearance will project to others with the brand.
We envision the appearance's judgment strengthened by the brand.
We change ourselves according to other people's judgments raised by the brand.
Therefore, a brand message should reflect and align with the audience, to make them build their image of self-worth and find value out of this alignment. It is a perfect example of Maslow's final row hierarchy of needs that states:
The growth of self, both self-actualization and esteem must be possible to the message. To make it happen, you need to take into consideration that digital messaging isn't just a single transaction, but rather an engagement with your audience.
Power of Imagery
There is nothing more powerful at delivering a message than using a good image. Images have a greater comment and reply rating and are 43% more efficient compared to other mediums.
A video demands your time if you want to entirely watch its content, while the wall of text requires you to read through it all. In images, what you see is what you get, and you don't have either of those problems that videos or texts have.
Image related posts perform better than other mediums when it comes to shares and likes. So, if it ties with an article or a blog post, always include the link to the conclusion on the summary part so that people can find out more about the subject.
For a long time, digital marketers use innumerable ways to deliver their message to their audiences. Some messages get immediate actions and recognitions while some fail to deliver results and end up in the trash. The lack of context about using the right message, understanding the perceptions and behaviors of consumers toward the brand make it impossible to convey a message to the audiences that will lead to engagements.
It's about time that brands stop yelling at customers about their products and services. Instead, create well-crafted campaigns with relevant messages that audience can relate. Hence, go back to your roots, not as a marketer or a business owner, but as a regular person who knows how it feels to be in the consumer's shoes.

Bulldozers and other pieces of heavy-duty construction equipment are putting on quite a show this week as they tear down several older buildings – including an 1899 home – on Temple Street to make way for a new, 49-unit Echo Park apartment complex with swimming pool. But not everyone is thrilled with the demolition derby taking place across the area as the pace of real estate development picks up.
On Wednesday, Councilman Mitch O'Farrell, who represents Echo Park, introduced a City Council motion that would "enhance" the city's demolition process to require greater public notice and feedback. Says the motion:
Demolition permits are issued without a public process. When a property owner decides to demolish an existing structure, it can significantly change the character of the surrounding community. There is no recourse for community stakeholders who are concerned about the character of their community because they do not have the opportunity to be involved in a public process prior to demolition.
The motion, if approved by a majority of the City Council, would have the city's Building and Safety Department develop a public notification process – including the posting of signs 30 days before tear downs are scheduled to begin. In addition, fees would be charged to cover enforcement of any new regulations overseeing the demolition process.

Topiary addicts of the world unite! Topiary, or living green sulptures as I prefer to call them, is the art of shaping plants into geometric or intricate shapes. Topiary has a rich history dating back to Roman times. It requires vision, commitment, patience and skill. Although it is outside the realm of my current expertise, I have begun some fledgling efforts which are very satisfying but are not ready for pubilc consumption :).
The beautiful photo above is from Ladew Gardens in Baltimore. It incorporates knot gardens around the clipped hedges to stunning effect.
One of our most popular requests for landscape design is the inclusion of Spiral Arborvitaes which are prolific in the home garden. Ironically, one of our most frequent maintenance requests is to "rescue" neglected Spiral Arborvitaes which become lumps without proper care. Topiary is not what one would consider low maintenance. If a plant is left to it's own devices it will revert to it's natural form. If you have succumbed to topiary love, then you must keep your pruners handy as annual maintenance will be required o ensure that your landscape dollars aren't wasted.
If you're interested in sharpening your topiary skills, check out this article from the Royal Horticulture Society which is a great primer.
In the interim, I stick to purchasing topiary. Thankfully, love is not restricted to how-to and topiary is an optical banquet worthy of contemplation and adoration. I find it fascinating that it's only limits seem to be our imagination.
Check out this article from Architectural Digest: Garden Party. It explores the best public topiary with some eye popping pictures but best of all gives you new gardens to love and visit, stateside and across the pond.
One of the coolest things about topiary...it flies in the face of winter :)
