I Guess I'm Stuck With You: Growing Up with TCK Siblings
No one, not even other third culture kids, can understand exactly what your life has been like growing up around the world – except for the people who shared the same childhood.
No one, not even other third culture kids, can understand exactly what your life has been like growing up around the world – except for the people who shared the same childhood.
When Kendra Mirasol and Charisse Kosova of IOR Global Services noticed more minority women going abroad, they wondered if minority status made expat assignment easier. Since good expat research is hard to come by, they decided to conduct their own investigation. The focus: female minority women going abroad for business. A study can't get much more specific than that, which meant preliminary research included only 25 respondents, 13 of whom went through extensive interviews. When they presented their findings at the Families in Global Transition conference in March, the numerical data was unsurprising: "Is the overseas assignment a developmental part of your career plan?" 83 percent said yes. "Did any of the company's preparation focus on female minority issues?" 89 percent said no. Instead, the most interesting results from their research came from the anecdotes collected through extended interviews. Here are some quotes from female minority expats that Kendra and Charisse presented: "People assumed I was Filipino and had married my husband because I was his maid. It fit their sense of order." "Initially [the …
In my fourth sublet in Berlin in the past eight months, I am growing accustomed to another person's things around me, to her life quietly insinuating itself into my own.
From friends to food, weddings are a life event where TCKs can attempt to bring together all aspects of our global lives.
I was 17 when I started college in Florida; just months away from being able to legally enter, but not drink at, a club or a bar. Because I had been living in Shanghai the last four years, I didn't have a driver's license – only a passport, and my American diplomat card. I got away with acting like a dumb freshman girl who "forgot" my ID a few times, but when my friends and I attempted to go out dancing one night, my ego was completely shot. "Where's your ID," the bouncer demanded. "Well, I have this," I took out my diplomat ID. "My birthday's right here." He looked at it puzzled, squinting at the Chinese characters. "What is this? Don't you have a driver's license?" Um, no sir, that requires the ability to drive. "My birthday's right there," I pointed, hoping maybe he'd just let me in. "No, I can't take this, I can't even read this." He threw it back and me and took the next person in line. I was furious. …

Cancer Prevention
Berlin, Germany—A food supplement containing pomegranate seeds, green tea, broccoli, and turmeric—called Pomi-T (natureMedical)—taken twice daily significantly lowered prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels versus placebo in men with localized prostate cancer, according to the results of a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Use of the supplement allowed more men to remain on observation alone, according to results of a new study presented at the 2013 meeting of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer.

Improving Patient Care
Home / Quality Improvement and Planning
Patients and families at the heart of our work
The Regina area of the Saskatchewan Health Authority (formerly Regina Qu'Appelle Health Region) is improving how we do our work so that it's focused on what patients, residents, clients and their families want and need from a health care system.
We are using proven improvement approaches to tackle problems as we work with patients and their families to create a patient-centred culture.
Our goal is to provide reliable, safe and timely care for every patient.
These improvement methods are helping us reduce waits for services, ensure tests and procedures are appropriate, address activities which may
cause harm to patients or staff, create more time for caregivers to be with their patients, and build better teams.
Our journey is part of a province-wide initiative to continuously improve the health care system.
We welcome patients, residents, clients and their families to participate in improvement work. Please contact us if you're interested.

I was speaking last night with my neighbor Geo, when he said: "Somewhere between the party animal I was in my marriage and the zen meditator I've been in my current relationship... is the real Geo."
I could see the axis, drawn in space before our eyes: on one end of the imaginary "number line" was Geo as Beer-Drinking-Good-Timing-Party-Animal... and at the other end was Geo as Peaceful-Meditating-Man. And Geo's quest right now was to feel along this axis and understand where he belongs.
In my opinion, he exists all along that axis, occupying different places at different times, as everyone does.
And the very same thing applies to wildness and precision in your kalimba playing.

Part of what is so great about playing the kalimba is that it is all right there in front of your eyes. You can see the entire instrument, all its notes, all that it can do, in one glance. You might not understand it yet, but you can easily see that it is understandable. Map the shorter kalimba tines to higher notes and the lower tines to lower notes. Simple, right?
But an even more important tip I can give you is to NOT look at the kalimba as you play.
In this tip we are going to discuss what playing without looking will do for you.

Most people who pick up a kalimba will have an experience rich in play.
There is always a little tug of war going on between structured playing - learning what other people have done on the kalimba between the present and 1000 years before now, or figuring out your own song in a detailed manner, and free play - just playing what comes into your head, or more likely, what your thumbs decide to do.
My best playing and my best experiences occur when I am able to balance structure and freedom.
There are many different ways to practice kalimba, and you should find the way that makes you happy. Don't worry about the "right" way, but do search for the way that is right for you.
Everybody plays a bit differently, and everyone learns in different ways. You do want a challenge so that you feel you are getting better, but you don't often want something that is so challenging that it is not fun.
I share some of the ways that I practice kalimba, and rate them by how fun I find them to be.

Your ear is the best tool you have for progressing in music. While most people I know could not tell you why something in music is wrong, almost everyone will have a clue that something is wrong, because they hear it as sounding odd or incorrect. Rely upon your ear to guide you, and always ask: "Does this sound right?"
When I play, the "ear" in my head is also at work in a different direction - I actually hear notes that I did not play. It is like my soul or my mind is reaching out for a more perfect music, reaching out beyond the notes I played. This is how new music comes into being - it's creation happening - and there are lots of considerations in getting to the place where it happens for you too.
16 August 2016
Welcome to your kalimba. Based on the tuning and the note layout of your instrument, your kalimba represents a whole continent of sounds and musical possibilities, and it is well worth exploring it in depth.
When I started playing kalimba in 1986, there was no map to this continent. There was no internet, and seemingly no information about the kalimba. What did I do? I explored my kalimba on my own, gradually learning more and more each day I played.
27 July 2016
You can spend 20 minutes a day doing any one particular activity, and you will get better at it. If you did yoga for 20 minutes a day, your strength, flexibility, and balance would improve. If you ran for 20 minutes a day, your cardiovascular function and physical stamina would improve. If you meditated for 20 minutes a day, your level of insight and your outlook would probably improve.
What if you played kalimba for 20 minutes a day, every day?
I myself sometimes have difficulty finding the time to play kalimba every day, but when I do play every day, my life is better. I am challenging myself, and I am challenging you: can we play kalimba for 20 minutes each day?

Sarah and Matt are both working actors who call New York city home. Their romance started as a close friendship during grad school at the Manhattan School of Music. After meeting they became inseparable, sharing the stage together and growing their friendship. But soon their friendship blossomed into love and before too long Matt was down on one knee asking Sarah to marry him.
For their wedding they wanted every detail to have meaning, whether to celebrate the life of a family member unexpectedly lost, or to pay tribute to Sarah and Matt's zest for life and their love for each other.
Included in such meaningful details was Sarah's bouquet, which was made using the same type of flowers often given to her by Matt. In fact, he gave her a similar bouquet when he proposed. And a piece of Sarah's mother's wedding dress was tied around the bouquet as well. How special is that?
Originally from Texas, Matt represented his home state with tiny cowboy hats to accompany the escort cards. And as die-hard Redskins and Cowboys fans, (NFC East rivals!), the couple also paid tribute to their favorite teams with fun details throughout their day.
With photography by Rebekah Hoyt Photography, this purple and gray Bristow Manor Golf Club wedding was full of heart and genuine sweetness for a much loved and incredibly humble couple.

How To Prepare For Round The World Trip
To travel is to explore the unknown, understand the unforeseen, adjust and adapt to situation unheard of and yet celebrate life to the full extent. As a traveler it is not preemptive to dream to travel round the world.
And keep in mind, round the world travel is not a vacation in true sense but it is a full time job.
However, once you are back home, we can vouch for the fact you shall not remain the same old self but change and appear as a mature, grown up person. And change through travel is good, if not excellent.
Let me list down the preparations or the essential how to list that will prepare you for the quintessential long term travel round the world.
As much as we love to quote "Travelling does not require money", it is time to be real and practical and accept the fact, travelling does require funding. The funding needs to be managed practically.
In case, you are touring with money saved from your job, keep some aside for emergency.
If you plan to work as a freelancer, start early. While abroad, you may want to work as an English teacher or content generator or a bar tender to earn a livelihood and use the money to travel further.
Be Wise While Spending Money
Of course we are not promoting a frugal living but we strongly suggest before you indulge for the drinks at the bar or buy that expensive dress, think again. If the money saved helps you to travel further the next day, it is not worth it.
Minimalist Lifestyle
Long term travel round the world is possible when you pack light and possess as less of worldly stuff as possible. Travel like a digital nomad, with your gadgets. Rest of the stuff may be replaced with disposable and for instant use.
Sustainable & Local Style Of Travel
While travelling, be respectful of the nature and local rituals and customs. To live like a local, you need to be adaptive to the rules of the land.
That includes securing a stay in the home stays, often in the unheard of places. Eating like a local and taking part in the customs like a local provided they let you in. Most of the time, they will be more than eager to show you their lifestyle.
Learn a few words of the language. A thank you, a greeting and a firm no will take you to miles. And please, ditch the plastic. Be careful not to harm the ecological balance of the land.
An extensive research is always recommended about the new country you are visiting. Learn of the places where political dispute is abundant. As a foreign national you do not want to add to the ongoing disturbances.
Read about the visa policy, the exchange rates and possible currency centers. You must also carry a bit of medicine and prescription detailing the generic composition by a physician from home.
All the details furbished here come from my first hand experience as a traveler. I could make the list endless but sure many pointers can be derived through common assumptions.
The key is to be genial, respectful and curious at the same time. Your spirit is what will sail you afloat even during the trying time. Do not let that feel daunted.
In case you are a traveler and have experience in travel round the world, do let us know how you manage your schedule in the comment section below. We would love to assimilate your experiences.

Milton's clients spare no superlatives in describing him, including "exceptional." His passion and fierce determination in achieving the best result impress clients. They also characterize him as caring, reassuring, and compassionate. Clients give him high marks across the board, but especially appreciate that he communicates directly and responds promptly when clients make inquiries. Most importantly of all, Milton puts his clients at ease and enables them to go about their lives comfortably while he handles the case.
As patriarch of the family, Milton guides everyone. His law partner and daughter Zoi lovingly describes him as "seriously one of a kind." Milton and his wife Donna — the Office Manager — set up the law firm when Milton was just out of law school. They have been a stalwart team through the years, both in business and in their personal lives.

When not defending his clients' rights, Milton enjoys glamping, boating, fishing, horseback riding, gardening, and cooking.
For more than 30 years, Milton and the whole family have taken two vacations every year, one to Lake Don Pedro and the other to Shasta Lake. This family not only works very well together — they relax and spend real family time together too. That tells you everything you need to know about how strong their family ties are.

"The story begins two months before the launch of the Phoenix Mars Lander. One year before the landing. It takes ten months to fly at 74,000 mph to arrive on Mars. It's far.
The subject of the story is a Martian photographer.
"Don't call me that," Peter Smith, the world's greatest Martian Photographer says dryly. "It really diminishes the science."
"This is a story about the world's greatest Mars picture-taker and his robot, Phoenix.
"And don't make me look like some wacko mad scientist," Peter says."
Okay, so Martian Summer isn't a conventional book about space science. For one thing, its narrator has no idea what he's talking about.
"It was 30 days into the mission, and I was so excited–I went a whole day knowing what was going on," says Andrew Kessler, self-proclaimed Martian fanboy and author of the new book.
For 90 days Kessler, who has no space background, lived in Tuscon, Arizona, with Peter Smith and the rest of the team in charge of the Phoenix Mars Lander's science operations. His days involved learning why he had to arrive at Mission Control at 11:30 p.m. and why it's so incredibly hard to control an 800-pound (363-kilogram) robot's fragile arm from 200 million miles (322 million kilometers) away.
[For those who are playing along at home, operations started in the middle of the night for the Phoenix team because they were on Mars time. There was a "Mars watch" specially crafted to keep track of a 24-hour, 40-minute day, as well as numerous prescription alertness drugs.
As for why it's hard to control the robot, well, you try playing that carnival crane game with equipment that's been "strapped on the cone of a missile, irradiated for months on end, and then slammed onto the surface of a dusty, cold place."]
By the end of the book, we've learned what a space mission looks like from an amateur perspective, and we've gotten some solid science along the way (not to mention all the behind-the-scenes drama that never makes it out via press release).
There's also a current running through the book about how, as readers of this blog already know, space exploration is awesome, but the message doesn't always reach the public.
In fact, space-noob Kessler was invited to hang with the scientists because principal investigator Peter Smith "thought we could do a better job of telling the story," Kessler said.
For the record, Smith was the scientist who was responsible for bypassing official JPL channels to release images from the Mars Pathfinder mission in 1997. Those 14,000 images "f*cking crashed the whole Internet," Kessler said.
Public hunger for Martian goodness proves that space can be popular, he said.
And it's what got Kessler into Phoenix HQ for a 90-day ride-along with the cowboy spacemen who found water on Mars.
In the following video, Kessler speaks to Breaking Orbit about why space is so freaking awesome.
Martian Summer is available for pre-order now and will be on shelves April 15. Rachel Kaufman is a freelance writer reporting live from the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas, who's wondering if she can play up the fangirl angle next time she wants to watch a space mission unfold.

I like to work nonstop throughout my day. Most of the time I rarely stop to eat. I know that'sis bad, but it makes my day go by very fast. Sometimes I look up and half of the day is gone – feeling like I just started. I like to stay busy making sure my clients needs are met and requirements are fulfilled. I know that if I keep my clients happy they will continue to send me more freight. More freight for me means that I stay busy and staying busy makes my day fly by! " Its a viscious Cycle" … that I like. LOL…
What makes your day fly by? What would you like to change about your workflow and process? Do you need anything else to be done that would make it easier? Let me know if there is anything that I can do to help. Remember me when you are thinking of your freight system!!!! But anyways its time to get back to preparations for tomorrows workweek…. Let me know if you need anything…

Well this is my first week as a blogger and I am excited. However I am not sure where to begin. So after careful consideration….. I guess I can start with The Pallet.
The first pallet was invented by Robert Braun in 1945 . In 1948, Sullivan Stemple made a pallet for fork lifts.
The first patents are listed here.
See the list below:
^ U.S. Patent 1,508,183, Hallowell, Howard T. 09/09/1924 "Lift Truck Platform" Drawing 2 resembles a skid.
^ U.S. Patent 2,148,150 Clark, Carl L. 02/21/1939; recognizably a modern pallet, though with steel stringers.
^ U.S. Patent 2,372,055, Braun, Robert H., March 20, 1945
^ U.S. Patent 2,455,197, Stemple, Sullivan Franklin 11/30/1948; includes a fork lift!
My thoughts.
To me the Pallet is in one Top 3 essential things to have when you have large things to move… Besides a Truck and or a forklift. Pallets make handling freight so much easier. A lot of new shippers don't realize the time that is saved by palletizing their shipments. Pallets actually help freight stay in place during transit, this drastically reduces the likelihood of damage during transit.
Pallets allow users to quickly move and store freight and are used all over the world. If you are currently not palletizing your freight, you are exposing your loads to more damage and yourself to a lot more paperwork headaches.
My suggestion use them or be ready to do a lot of work and place a lot of phone calls – for damage claims and returns!!!!!!
Think about it-
– Ever wonder what happens to Pallets after a business is done with them?

Cemex has reported mixed first quarter results. Sales beat expectations but the net income amounted to a loss of US$276m for the quarter, versus a loss of US$342m in the same period a year earlier, and free cash flow was negative on higher financial expenses.
Cemex' first quarter turnover advanced by 11.2%, or an underlying 9%, to US$3,384.1m and the EBITDA edged ahead by 0.7% to US$518.2m. The trading profit, however, recovered by 16.1% to US$172.3m after the 50.3% drop a year ago. After net interest charges 9.1% higher at US$336.3m and other financial items, the pre-tax loss was reduced by 25.8% to US$172.1m. The net debt was 2.3% lower than a year earlier at US$17,575m, though 3.1% higher than at the end of last year. Equity shareholders' funds were 1.0% lower at US$15,952.2m to give a gearing level of 110.2%. 51% of the debt was at fixed rates with 73% of the debt being in US dollars, 23% in euros and 4% in Mexican pesos.
Cement shipments in the first quarter were 5.6% higher at 15.27m tonnes, with aggregates production being 8.2% higher at 35.17m tonnes and ready-mixed concrete deliveries rising by 14.2% to 12.28m m³. Volumes were generally higher in Mexico and in Europe, but lower in the United States of America. The usage of alternative fuels, which stood at 20.3% last year, is expected to rise to some 25% this year and the aim is to get to 35% in 2015.
Fernando González, Executive Vice President of Finance and Administration, commented on the results: "Despite the still lingering effects of the economic downturn in a number of our key geographies, we are encouraged by the stabilization of important indicators in the construction materials business. Consolidated domestic gray cement and aggregates volumes showed growth for the first time since the first quarter of 2007. We are pleased with the trend we have seen in our quarterly sales because this is the seventh consecutive quarter of top-line recovery in our results. And, as a result of our financial strategy, we have eliminated our refinancing risk until December of 2013."
Mexican turnover rose by 13.6% to US$842.2m and the EBITDA improved by 13.1% to US$291.8m, while the trading profit advanced by 15.9% to US$256.0m. Domestic cement deliveries were 1% higher in the quarter. Average cement prices were ahead by around 5% in local currency, and improved by approximately 11% in US dollar terms.
The US turnover has continued to decline and fell by a further 8.2% to US$506.6m. The loss at the EBITDA level was more than doubled to US$23.4m (+105.0%) and the trading loss increased by 5.7% to US$191.0m as weather conditions were unfavourable. Cemex' US cement volumes declined by a further 4%, and prices were off by a further 3%, but price increases are now beginning stick.
In Europe, turnover rose by 23.6% to US$1,170.6m, helped by less unfavourable weather conditions than in the previous year in most countries and the EBITDA went from a US$0.9m loss in 2010 to a US$49.7m profit, while at the trading level the seasonal loss was reduced by 62.3% to US$30.9m.
In South America, Central America and the Caribbean, turnover advanced by 7.9% to US$396.4m, but the EBITDA declined by 7.6% to US$116.7m and the trading profit fell by 9.6% to US$97.7m. Cement volumes improved by 4% and prices by 1% in local currency and by 3% in US dollar.
Turnover in Africa and the Middle East was affected by the unrest in Egypt, Cemex' most important market in this region and the turnover declined by 5.8% to US$248.4m and the EBITDA was off by 4.3% to US$79.9m and the trading profit by just 2.5% to US$68.9m. Domestic cement deliveries in the region were off by 7% and prices by 2% in local currency. In Egypt, volumes declined by 6% in cement, by 28% in aggregates and by 26% in ready-mixed concrete.
Asian turnover was off by 2.3% to US$121.7m, while the EBITDA fell by 35.9% to US$21.1m and the trading profit by 43.9% to US$15.6m.
Overall Cemex is positive on future market growth: "I believe that we have turned the corner in most of our markets, which are now growing," said Mr Gonzalez. Management expects cement volumes to show low-to-mid single digit percentage growth in 2011.

ARR is Golden!
Next Stop - The Oscars!
On movies, books, music, technology, family, humor, travel and everything in between
three cheers for our Little Master! kalakittinge ARR!
//Next Stop - The Oscars!//
There is a fair chance now. I am elated. :)
WoooHoooo!!! I am so happy for him. Way to go, Madras Mozart!
yeah, it was amazing! sreela
Very well deserved! Amazing to see Slumdog sweeping all 4 award in which it was nominated.
Funny to see how ARR felt a little awkward when Kate Beckinsale kissed him :)
and anil kapoor was trying too hard to be noticed!! sreela
Truly a Great moment for ARR and his Billion people.
Way to go Madras Mozart! We are proud of you!!!
This has to be one of those path-breaking moments of Indian cinema!! Everything about it was memorable - the way ARR slowly made his way upto the podium, the awkward moment when he was kissed & hugged, the small piece of paper from where he read out his acknowledgments and finally the 1 billion people comment. Truly unforgettable!!!
nejammavey pull-arikira moment!! chennai-iite na summaa-vaa?:-)
Genius. A very special moment... or is he still gonna surprise us with an oscar too... Mmmmhhhhhh
MLC avargaley,
Vutta Rahman oda area peru, road peru ellam solli avarai narrow panniduveenga pola.
I was so happy to see him win, and I hope he wins an Oscar too. But I just hope that doesn't mean Tamil directors can't afford him anymore. As it is he only did one Tamil movie this year no?
Congratulations A.R. Rehman! You have made very Tamilan & Indian proud with your achievement! You are the real superstar of Indian cinema. You are an icon with international acclaim!
The lyrics "Ella pugazhum un oruvan oruvanukke...
Nee nadhi pole oodi kondu irru..." is truly apt only for you! It's a proud moment for all of us!
Proud to be an AR Rahman fan!
The two things that connect Indians of any origin are cricket and ARR.
So, he deserves the golden globe and Oscars.
Am happy for Rahman, but IMO Slumdog Millionaire is'nt his best work. The 'British movie' brand certainly worked in his favour.

Rays Need to Find Some Relief for First Base
When Sean Rodriguez was designated last week by the Tampa Bay Rays, then dealt to the Pittsburgh Pirates, the move left a huge question mark on who might man the Rays First Base bag if something happens to James Loney?
This is not to suggest Loney will be hampered by injury or fall off his current offensive groove in 2015, but weirder things have happened under the tilted cap.
Early thoughts suggest that current Rays INF Logan Forsythe might be carrying an extra glove in his bag this spring, or quite possibly will be doing some additional reps this winter and during Spring Training learning the 1B nuances.
If you were wondering, Forsythe has lined-up at 1B once in his career and mans a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage on 1 career putout.
So with that small career sampling by Forsythe you might think the Rays would be better vested if they found another option at 1B, or at least someone with a little more experience scooping bad throws into outs.
First Base is not a spot you can master as you have to basically multi-task constantly throughout a game to keep runners, guard the line while also being a stop gap on the right side of the infield.
And I have not even ventured into the mental and physical bumps and bruises associated with those high throws, balls in the dirt that somehow bounce up and leave welts, bruises and nasty tell tales signs.
So I wonder if Ben Zobrist might be asked to take additional training and reps at 1B where he could bring another facet to his game and he does have a .983 career fielding percentage playing 1B 17 times in the past for the Rays.
There also could be a few guys outside the Rays system who could be viable candidate too.
Maybe recently non-tendered guys like Justin Smoak (Jays) or Gaby Sanchez (Pirates) who come into the fold with viable game experience, but might cost the Rays upwards of around $ 2 million plus a season.
Smoak might be in the Rays wheelhouse as a player who has experience at the position and has been a DH Smoak has had an up and down career since he was drafted in the First Round (11th pick) of the 2008 MLB Draft by the Texas Rangers. He was then traded to the Seattle Mariners, then after the 2014 season the M's became disenchanted with him and he was claimed off waivers by the Toronto Blue Jays on October 28, 2014.
Seattle paid Smoak $ 2.6 million in 2015 during his first venture through the arbitration process. Even though Smoak's career batting average of .224 and 74 career Hrs might not set your mind ablaze, his .995 career fielding average in 5 MLB seasons as a First Baseman plus the added bonus he could be a great bat off the bench (DH in 21 career games).
This current bit of fall from grace might benefit the Rays as well as offer Smoak a chance to re-establish himself as a MLB First Baseman.
Gaby Sanchez was a surprise non-tender by the Pirates, but you have to wonder if his 2014 offensive numbers were a fluke or a sign of aging. With the Pirates wanting to put versatile Josh Harrison at 3B bag, and move power hitter Pedro Alvarez to 1B for the 2015 season, Sanchez quickly found himself a man without a contract and team at the Arbitration Deadline
Like Smoak, Sanchez definitely has skills at First Base, but his offensive pedigree has taken a hit since he was dealt to the Pirates by the Miami Marlins 3 seasons ago. In his 5 years with the fish, Sanchez maintained a .243 average and showed power with 74 HR and 184 RBIs, but his 3 years with Pittsburgh he has maintained only a .241 mark with 18 HRs and 82 RBIs.
Sanchez main attribute might be his consistent glove and has a .995 fielding percentage mark.
There is also an outside chance that the Rays could just take a wait and see posture as the 2014 Triple-A All-Star Home Run Derby winner, Allan Dykstra (no relation to Lenny) could come in an further impress the Rays and quite possibly garner a utility and bench spot on the Rays 25-Man roster.
If Dykstra can keep up the .280 average with 16 HR and 74 RBis he set in Triple-A Las Vegas in 2014, he could quickly go from dark horse Triple-A farm asset to a MLB uniform.
Darkening Dykstra's chances might be his less than marvelous .981 fielding overage in 2014, and his career .986 mark might be fodder that he needs more seasoning before breaking the ceiling and making his MLB debut.
Even if the Rays do not have a clear leader in who might tag-in during the regular season for Loney at First base, there are many viable options and the off season is still young.
There is more than enough time for another name to surface, a trade to be formulated and quite possibly someone come to the Rays before the report to Port Charlotte, Fl in February.
Who knows, maybe Smoak or Sanchez could be there, or Dykstra could improve his glove skills and hit the cover off the ball.
Did the Rays Gamble Heavy on Their Status Quo?
Wondering if the Tampa Bay Rays basically " standing pat" will come back to either bite them in the hind quarters, or be a Godsend. So many factors were in play in the background today from medical reports on Evan Longoria's rehab assignment, to equating if sending a piece of the franchise be it B J Upton or James Shields would stall their recent Wild Card forward momentum. I swear Rays Executive VP of Baseball Ops Andrew Friedman will never have to hit Gamblers Anonymous because he only seems to bet on " sure things", or options that weigh heavily in the houses/ Rays favor.
I truly could not envision Friedman standing over a MLB gambling table surrounded by 29 of his peers holding the dice hard wishing for a 7 or 11. I imagine him more comfortable at the .25 cent slots bringing in a few dollars and making more sense of his money and movements. But still, it was good over the past week or so hearing the baited whispers and subtle glances towards Upton and Shields. Wonder how many of Friedman's peers felt confident going into today that Friedman might part with the likes of Upton who is set to hit the Free Agent market this Winter.
But then again, I could see Friedman playing Texas Hold-Em with a vengeance, and with the Rays on a West Coast road venture Friedman held his cards close to his vest hoping no one would venture to guess his intentions or call into question any type of bluff or stall tactic.
I felt sure Friedman might possibly throw down at least a Wade Davis baseball card towards an NL peer that might need an up-grade or stop-gap style player either in their 4 or 5 slots or in long relief. But Friedman has the luxury of knowing Davis is only gaining value, possibly with Davis becoming a prime piece of off-season gold that will be look upon with more value this Winter than at this time.
There were even cards in motion within the Rays farm system that hinted at some sort of planning or adjustments as RP Cesar Ramos was being primed and getting reps as a possible starter at Triple-A Durham. You had to have a feeling Friedman wanted to hold a distinctive wild card in his hand knowing a possible trade scenario involving a valuable and flexible southpaw would be considered a luxury heading into August and September as younger arms reach their yearly pitch counts.
I remember reading in Dirk Hayhurst's "Bullpen Gospels" about Ramos in the lower Padres system as a starter, so the idea is not foreign to him at all. Since I'm glancing towards the Bullpen, I truly thought Friedman might hold in his hand the cards of possibly relief pitchers Joel Peralta or Kyle Farnsworth as late inning pieces to another squad's puzzle, possible also in the National League. But the Rays Bullpen stayed intact, possibly the best thing to happen to the Rays since Fernando Rodney's first arrow flew deep and high into the sky.
Could Friedman have possibly mastered the art of the bluff this week by rebuffing advancements and trading cards being thrown down in his direction, Could the Rays not sending or receiving any players before the time ran out on this non-waiver Trade Deadline show contentment that in-house options are superior to the cards visible on the table, especially since Longoria and SP Jeff Niemann could be back in the dugout sooner rather than later.
No matter if Friedman was playing the game with all intentions of going through the motions, or waiting for the perfect scenario to be placed upon the felt and then plucking it with a grin and a giggle. We might never know the true story, but I do feel there were some potential MLB players trading cards picked up off that green poker table's felt I truly thought the Rays might contemplate a bit on, or at least bluff towards plucking them for this team.
The first player I thought the Rays might make a gentleman's wager on was Miami Marlins 1B Gaby Sanchez who ended up becoming another valuable piece to the playoff hungry Pittsburgh Pirates. I actually thought the Rays might go "in heavy" on Sanchez as a possible 2013 replacement/younger hitting upgrade for the Carlos Pena. I thought Sanchez met the Rays criteria since he can be team controlled until possibly 2016, with his first venture into arbitration coming this Winter. Lest we forget Sanchez was a NL Rookie of the Year candidate in 2010 (finished 4th).
I also thought the Rangers picking up Geovany Soto from the Chicago Cubs recently might be a trading card piece of an evolving Texas trade hand for Shields since the Rays could definitely erase their need for a catcher with someone of Soto's experience, especially since Soto will only be making his second trip trough arbitration this Winter, Soto's past All-Star clout and his 2012 salary of only $ 4.3 million, he would be viewed as a solid backstop investment considering the question marks becoming larger with Robinson Chirinos and his concussion setbacks and if Jose Lobaton is a # 1 catcher or a career back-up back stop for this squad.
All that the Rays Republic is left with his wonder and maybe a little hint of want. This team has shown signs of an upwards trend against teams currently that they will battle throughout the rest of this season for a coveted American League Wild Card slot, but you have to wonder if Friedman had set down at least 1 hand in trade if the stakes and odds would have falling more into their favor.
The Trade Deadline is one of those definite "He said, She said" types of moments where a season can be hinged or be separated by actions of standing pat. Personally, I wanted to see some down and dirty dealing via Andrew Friedman and his band of merry mongrels, but in the end we got only silence.
Some venture to say the lack of Friedman playing any cards by the final toll of the bell at the Trade Deadline set the tone loud and clear for the Rays venture towards securing one of those coveted post-season slots. In the past the Rays have stayed muted and firm in their belief of their club's talent and abilities and have come out smelling like roses.
Still, I would have loved to have someone like Sanchez chomping at the bit for that First Base job, or even Soto behind the dish providing offense and quality defense. Friedman decided to fold his hand, pay the dealer for his time and walk away empty-handed as the last cards were dealt today. But maybe by not making a gamble or losing in the process Friedman is way a head of the MLB pack. Only time will tell if he will be considered a winner or loser for his action with the cards.

January 03, 2019Reviewer: Carrie in Tennessee* I would not purchase these again, and dont think I will be eating these , they are not good.This review is specific to Oven-Baked Parm Crisps, Original
November 24, 2018Reviewer: A guest* I really hoped I would like these but NO! Terrible overwhelming flavor
April 27, 2018Reviewer: Angella in Florida* YukThis review is specific to Oven-Baked Parm Crisps, Bite-Sized Original
June 14, 2012Reviewer: Joe in Colorado* I wanted to like these so bad, but they had a horrible after taste, like intense burnt cheese and garlic. I did get the garlic, but it was so bad I won't order another flavor to see if I like that better. They sadly went right in the trash.This review is specific to Parmesan Crisps, Garlic
February 02, 2012Reviewer: Tanja in Georgia* These were the nastiest things I have ever tasted. The garlic was strong and the parmesean was stronger. I love cheese but I have to turn the love away for this snack. I shared with my co-workers and they loved them. So I would say you have to have a love for this cheese to really enjoy it.
January 06, 2012Reviewer: Kelly in Oregon* Tried both the Everything Parmesan and the Jalapeno crisps....blah! Both were dark brown and taste burnt. Both leave a horrible taste in your mouth. Got through 2 bites before I gave it to the dogs. The dogs love them though, guess they are just expensive dog treats now!
January 05, 2012Reviewer: A customer in Wisconsin* Wow - I can't begin to describe how disappointed I was in the Jalapeno flavored crisps. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, jalapenos and I fully expected to love these crisps but was so let down by the actual taste of these crisps. I had previously tried the Aged Parmesan flavor and absolutely loved them so I thought that adding jalapenos would only enhance the flavor. Much to my disappointment, they tasted horrible. Firstly, they looked like the batch had been burnt because they were really dark brown but I thought maybe that was just a result of the coloring from adding the jalapenos. Sadly, that was not the case. They tasted burnt.....and had a terrible after taste. I definitely would not recommend these to anyone.This review is specific to Parmesan Crisps, Jalapeno
September 23, 2011Reviewer: Crystal in Florida* I got the garlic parmesan crisps and I must say, frankly speaking, they taste terrible. I like cheese and these just made me shiver from the sheer disgusting taste. Worst 5 dollars ever spent.This review is specific to Parmesan Crisps, Garlic
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulSeptember 04, 2011Reviewer: Gwendolyn in Georgia* One star only because zero is not available. These taste just okay; not the best. But even if they were the best, I would never pay 5.00 for 11 crackers. The label is misleading, this is no where near 18 crackers! Even at 18 crackers for the cost, I knew they were overpriced, but was willing to try them, based on reviews. Now I just feel like I've been ripped off.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulJuly 21, 2011Reviewer: Tamara in Wisconsin* I am just at a loss for how these have received such a high rating. I really wanted these to be wonderful and they just fell so short. So very very short. It is the equal of eating burnt cheese off of a pan with some bitter dehydrated jalapeno sprinkled on top. I just don't even want to waste any other kitchen ingredients on trying to salvage these for myself. Bitter and not crisp.....and I want to note....I love jalapenos: stuffed, fresh, in eggs + cheese....and these crisps do not resemble a-n-y-thing to the flavor of jalapeno, just a bitter chewy bleck.This review is specific to Parmesan Crisps, Jalapeno
August 27, 2009Reviewer: ben in Texas* Although some may like these, I found them horrible, but then I really don't think too highly of parmesian. Very strong taste, like eating a stale cracker.This review is specific to Oven-Baked Parm Crisps, Everything
July 15, 2009Reviewer: Kristina in Arkansas* I didn't like these, tried them with many dips, ended up throwing them out :(This review is specific to Oven-Baked Parm Crisps, Original
October 15, 2008Reviewer: Robert in Virginia* This is the most repulsive low carb food I have ever tried.This review is specific to Oven-Baked Parm Crisps, Original
0 of 1 people found the following review helpfulAugust 21, 2007Reviewer: Deborah in North Carolina* God Awful!!! Based on the other reviews, I bought these in the Aged Parmesan and the Everything flavors. They were possibly the worst tasting things I have EVER put in my mouth!! Please believe me and don't waste your money!This review is specific to Oven-Baked Parm Crisps, Original
0 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMarch 14, 2007Reviewer: Kathleen in Virginia* I had high hopes for this when I saw all the great reviews. I sincerely didn't like it. It smelled great when I opened the package, but, once I ate it it was sorta chewy (like stick to your teeth chewy) and extremely bland. I could barely taste the garlic. I put a slice of mozzarella and salmon on top - no luck - still yechy.This review is specific to Parmesan Crisps, Garlic

We catch up with wildlife photographer extraordinaire, Sachtler and Canon Ambassador Thorsten Milse at Photokina 2016. In this episode we focus on the issues that have emerged with the democratisation of photography and video.
A lot has been written and said about the digital revolution, and how that has advanced our industry. By putting cameras in so many people's hands, a lot of talent out there is rising to the surface, and creative visions are coming to life at a rate that would have been unthinkable a couple of decades ago. But now that almost everyone holds a decent enough photo and video camera right in their pocket in the form of smartphones, how can this phenomenon affect the livelihood of seasoned professionals out there?
Thorsten Milse shares with us his opinion, as well as his experience with some less-than-scrupulous companies. Definitely a great chat with a great photographer. Thanks, Thorsten!

In episode 20 of ON THE COUCH, I talked to professional photographers Kamil Tamiola, Tom Barnes and Lucas Gilman. We had a very engaging discussion about their work and the present and future of photography, filmmaking and imaging in general. Thanks to one of our main sponsors G-Technology, we were able to assemble a full couch of "G-Team" brand ambassadors (including yours truly) for this taping in our beautiful suite during Photokina 2014 in Cologne.
Asked about their current projects, Kamil talked about his campaign for Phase One which he is shooting on their medium format digital cameras in extreme altitudes on top of the highest peaks of this planet. He mentioned how much he is actually relying on advances in technology when it comes to resolution and especially dynamic range – having extremely overblown highlights as well as dark shadows in just one image. Watch Kamil's full behind the scenes promo video for his Mont Blanc Phase One Campaign at the bottom.
Tom Barnes is best known for his portraits of bands and musicians, and has a large body of work in that field and many years of experience. He talked about about a production for Channel 4 called "Don't Stop the Music", produced by Jamie Oliver's production company, which tries to get children into learning musical instruments again after public funding in the UK for that was cut.
Lucas Gilman is also known for his extreme outdoor and nature photography recently shot the campaign for the new Nikon D810 DSLR in some beautiful locations. See the Behind-the-scenes video at the bottom of this post. Lucas mentions the built-in timelapse function in the Nikon D810 which sounds actually quite amazing for filmmakers, because it takes a lot of work away from post production, being able to assemble those timelapses right in camera.
The first part of our discussion focused on the photography revolution that took part over the past 10 years with digital technology really becoming the massively dominant way of taking photos, with film fading away much quicker than anyone anticipated. We talked about how jobs changed because of the technology and how photography has gotten anywhere … also turning a professional photographer's world upside down.
We touched on how this revolution is still taking place in filmmaking and cinematography, and how we are currently experiencing that megapixel hype that the photography industry is already done with – there, now it's about dynamic range and color rendition and not only the higher megapixel counts at all costs.
In part 2 of this episode to be published next week, we will talk about photographers who are moving into video and cinematography, and what they need to be aware of. Also, we talk more about advances in camera technology and what that actually means creatively.

Be wise. Speak wisely. Act wisely. Practice Wisdom.
Wisdom in biblical parlance is a holy figure, a powerful symbolic figure, usually portrayed in feminine form and voice, who basically guides the whole enchilada of developing faith between Divinity and Humanity. Big job!
For Jews Wisdom (Hochmah) is found instructing the people of YHWH in the Torah to bind the law of love for God into their hearts as a constant guide for all they do.(Deut 6:6-8, Psalm 19)
For Christians Jesus Christ is the Wisdom of God's Spirit (Sophia) in human flesh, quite like binding divinity to your heart. (John 1:1-18)
To be wise the thoughts of your heart must be congruent with the words of your mouth and the actions of your body.
Wisdom is not knowledge alone. Wisdom is the integration of knowledge from without with experience from within.
Quakers are all over this one.
Wisdom guides the integration process. She is Who gets us through the worst and best of times. Holy Week for Christians is both. Wisdom hold it all together, keeps us whole and holy. (She actually is spiritual velcro.)
Pray. Ask. Follow.

text: The conflict has displaced more than 160,000 people in the country's south [AFP] Two civilians were also injured by stray bullets during the gunfight. Following the attack, the army on Friday closed parts of the highway linking Davao and Cotabato cities because MILF fighters were occupying some of the bridges. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, the Philippine president, on Thursday scrapped the deal after Christians and politicians in Mindanao objected to what they saw as an unconstitutional move to create an independent Muslim state. Manhunt Police special forces with shoot-to-kill orders immediately launched a manhunt for MILF fighters after the deal was called off. IN VIDEO Philippines peace in shreds The rebel group rejected government demands for the surrender of two renegade commanders, Ameril Umbra Kato and Abdullah Macapaar, also known as Bravo. Both have a $113,000 arrest bounty placed on them for recent attacks on civilians. On Friday, Eid Kabalu, a rebel spokesman, said that "fighting continued today with the military using air and ground assets, apparently to get Commander Kato". Kato is said to have launched a series of attacks on villages and towns two weeks ago that killed scores and displaced thousands of people. The MILF leadership has distanced itself from the attacks on the towns and blamed renegade fighters led by Bravo frustrated at delays to finalising a peace agreement with the government. Escalating violence The size of a Muslim homeland is at the centre of the stalled peace process [EPA] Fighting in the south flared again after the country's Supreme Court ruled against a deal to give Muslims there an expanded autonomous region, under a peace agreement known as the Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain. Meanwhile, local political leaders fearing escalating violence have begun arming civilians to protect themselves against rebel attacks, according to international human rights body. Ayesha Alonto-Datu Ramos, an expert on the Mindanao region, said some local leaders and politicians were profiting from the conflict. She said: "Whoever these people that are benefiting from the war in Mindanao, [they] pre-empted whatever good faith the government and the MILF may have had by the onslaught of this violence that they have had, and also by ... ugly prejudicial statements and actions coming from the non-Muslims of the area, who are scared of losing whatever stakehold they might have in the Bangsamoro area." Amnesty International said on Friday the rebels "should be held to account" for serious violations of international law. It also warned that the deployment of civilian militias on the government side "can set off a chain of reprisals and only increase the danger facing civilians". The Philippine military has a decades-old policy of arming civilians to reinforce security forces and protect local communities. SOURCE: Al Jazeera and agencies

|The Entrusted Ones
|Season 01, Episode 07
|Air Date
|May 15, 2008
|Fiona's Valley
|The Princess and the Hero
The Entrusted Ones is the seventh episode of anime, Allison and Lillia. This episode was first broadcast on May 15, 2008.
Summary Edit
Allison, Wil, Ker, and Fiona make it back to the Sou Beil air base where Ker and Allison concoct a plan to allow Allison and Wil to steal a fighter plane while Ker and Fiona fly a commercial sight-seeing plane. In the midst of the plan, the soldiers block the runway, which causes Allison to head toward the nearby town, and eventually manages to take flight as she is descending into the nearby cliffs.
On the way, Fiona tells Ker that she is not a real princess, and he in turn tells her that he is not a real hero, as it was mainly due to Allison and Wil that the mural that ended the war was discovered. Ker makes a grand entrance by landing the plane as the crowd gathered for the political speech get out of the way. Ker introduces Fiona as the thought to be dead princess Francesca, but the politician Nihito objects.
