After months of preperation and research, Canada's dominant national newspaper The Globe and Mail introduced a new paywall for articles on its website. The Globe isn't the first major publication to do this, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal also have online paywalls. As do some regional canadian publications, like the Vancouver Province and Ottawa Citizen.
The Globe will charge readers $2o a month for unlimited access to articles. Those who subscribe to the 6-day print version of the paper will have free online access included. Weekend subscribers will pay $5 a month, on top of their regular subscription price. Everyone else is limited to ten articles a month. This is similar to the Postmedia papers I mentioned, who allow readers 15 free articles a month. Any links accessed through social media will not count towards the monthly quota.
The Globe has always been my primary source for both news and sports. I gained an interest in sports media reading (the now-retired) Bill Houston's columns. Stephen Brunt was a long-time employee. Now working for Sportsnet, he gets my vote as Canada's premier sports writer. Michael Grange is also a former Globe writer now working at Sportsnet. Many of the best in The Globe's sports section have now moved on. Eric Duhatschek, Jeff Blair (who isn't even Canada's best baseball writer), Roy MacGregor and David Shoalts are still there, but otherwise the sports section is a shadow of its former self.
However, the paper does still excel in other ares. John Doyle is one of the few TV critics in Canada who will write about soccer coverage. When news broke that Fox Soccer Report was ending, he reported on it in a major publication. He did the same when it became apparent that Canadians wouldn't get La Liga or Serie A coverage on TV this fall. Steve Ladurantaye, one of The Globe's other media columnists is also a worthy read. John Ibbitson is still one of the most trusted columnists in Canadian politics.
All of that said, is it really worth $20 when you can find much of The Globe's information elsewhere? As I said, Brunt and Grange now write for Sportsnet. They were two of the reasons I used to visit GlobeSports.com daily. Thier columns are available for free on Sportsnet.ca. TSN.ca, CBCSports.ca and ESPN.com (among many others) also offer great sports articles, including those from the AP and CP wires, for free. And with a growing number of respected columnists, such as Elliotte Friedman on CBC.
And then there is the National Post, which is quickly gaining respect from me. Through Twitter I've discovered Bruce Arthur (sports) and Andrew Coyne (politics) are two of my favourite writers. John Ivison, a Scot who is also on CTV's Question Period, provides a unique view on Canadian politics considering he only moved here 15 years ago. Sure, the National Post has had its fair share of controversial columnists over its short history, but its free (for now) and its got some great writers.
I know The Globe has to find a way to make money in a new era where most news is consumed online, especially in the valuable 18-54 demographic. However, $20 is a bit steep in my opinion. I don't plan to pay it, and I don't think I'll have much of a problem replacing The Globe with the three Post columnists I mentioned, plus Sportsnet.ca and CBCSports.ca. It is also worth noting that the National Post will also introduce a paywall in January.
NHL Lockout… I don't have much to say about the NHL's announcement to cancel games through the end of November, except I hope it comes back December 1 and this man is still alive to see it. A great story that puts it all in perspective.
beIN Coming Soon?… Sportcal, a sports media publication based in Great Britain, has revealed that beIN Sport are "Eyeing tie-up with Canada's TLN". A full article is available, albeit it behind a paywall so I don't have a clue what it says. Rumour is beIN want a minority stake (15-20%) in TLN networks in exchange for TLN's properties (which include Euroworld Sport and Spanish language TLN Espanol) broadcasting Serie A, La Liga, Ligue 1, the Carling Cup and England's Championship in Canada. In such an event, Euroworld Sport would likely become beIN Sport Canada. As I've said recently, it seems a deal is getting closer.
Premier League 2013-16… The big news in America is that ESPN and FOX are out as Premiership broadcasters following this season. While it is confirmed that they did not win the bid to broadcast EPL matches, it is not known who did. Rumour is that NBCUniversal was the high bidder, which gives them another major international sports event at Fox's expense. NBC also picked up Formula 1, which currently airs on FOX, earlier this month. beIN Sport is the other possible winner. An official announcement is expected next week.
This means that Ian Darke is out of a full-time job. Darke was once Sky Sports' #2 before leaving for the top position at ESPN in America. He joins Jon Champion, his UK counterpart who calls games for ESPN over there, as those on the market. One of the two is expected to join new the new British start-up BT, who will broadcast Premiership games in the UK beginning next fall. This would be a prime position for Darke as it would likely allow him to continue working with ESPN US for the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016.
It is unclear whether NBC will hire its own Premiership commentators, of if they will just use the Premier League Production international feed (where Champion and Darke both work part-time, by the way).
What About Canada?… The Canadian tender was also due last week. Rogers is expected to be the leading bidder, with the Premier League a vital part of the channel since its launch in 1998. EPL is also the backbone of Rogers' premium channel Sportsnet World. TSN could potentially bid with Rogers, or go at it alone. beIN is the unknown and when the rights are decided may depend on when/if the beIN/TLN deal gets done and approved by the CRTC.
Sportsnet On-Site… I am a bit surprised that Sportsnet's Jamie Campbell and Gregg Zaun are hosting Sportsnet's World Series pre-game show from the stadium. In recent years the trend has gone the other way, with networks keeping studio shows in Toronto to offset rising costs. Having a pre-game at the stadium for big events adds to the atmosphere. I know many have switched over to Fox for the World Series, but Sportsnet's pre-game show for game 1 was worth it for Stephen Brunt's essay alone.
Through the Knotholes… During game 1 of the World Series, MLB International commentator Gary Thorne noted that the Giants allow fans to view the game through the fence below right field for free (known as knotholes, historically). Thorne and colour commentator Sutcliffe talked about how nice it was for something to be free in the age of rising costs for those attending baseball games. Thorne mentioned hot dogs, pop and beer add to gameday expenses for fans. Sutcliffe subtlely blamed it on Alex Rodriquez's $27.5 million a year contract.
Dazed and Confused… The CBC threatened to sue CTV over confusing viewers when they introduced the "Big Bang Night in Canada" name. For its part, CTV responded with this sarcastic press release. If you think its bad now, wait until they are both bidding for NHL rights in a year.
Saturday Night AHL… CTV can call a collection of four Big Bang episodes whatever they want, but Sportsnet has the closest thing to Hockey Night in Canada with its AHL broadcasts. With the NHL cancelling games through December 1, Sportsnet has announced its AHL broadcasts for November. They are: Rochester @ Hamilton on November 3, Oklahoma City @ Abbotsford on November 10, Hamilton @ Toronto on November 17, and Milwaukee @ Chicago on November 24. Sportsnet's Maple Leafs, Oilers and Flames broadcast crews will each get one of the next three games.
Figure Skating: With no NHL on TV tonight, CTV's coverage of Skate Canada might take away the top Saturday sports rating. Patrick Chan headlines coverage of the men's free skate at 7:00pm tonight. Brian Williams is back to host CTV's coverage.
NCAA FB: Oklahoma and Notre Dame are two of the most popular programs in college football. They go into tonight's game in Norman (8pm, ABC) both ranked in the top 8 in the BCS. The Irish, who are still undefeated, are 5th. Oklahoma have only lost to Kansas State and are 8th. The Sooners are one of two tough road tests remaining for Notre Dame. The other is USC in a month's time.
MLB: The World Series could well be decided this weekend as San Francisco takes a 2-0 lead to Detroit. Games 3, 4 and 5 are on Saturday, Sunday and Monday night (all 8pm, Sportsnet). The best pitching match-up features Matt Cain against Max Scherzer on Sunday night. Ryan Vogelsong faces Anibal Sanchez tonight.
EPL: Two of the oldest and biggest rivals in English football meet on Sunday morning as Liverpool make the one mile treck from Anfield to face Everton at Goodison Park (9:30am, TSN2). Liverpool are off to a slow start this season with just two wins in their first eight matches. They sit 11th in the table. Everton are off to a great start as they're fourth, only behind powerhouses Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City. Speaking of Man United and Chelsea, they square off immediately following the Everton v Liverpool match (12pm, Sportsnet World). The winner goes to first place in league.
NFL: Two NFL games stand apart from the rest this weekend. On Sunday the 5-2 Giants travel to Dallas to face the 3-3 Cowboys in a rare nationally televised afternoon game (4:25pm, FOX). The Cowboys beat the Giants at the Meadowlands on opening night. Since then the teams have moved in opposite directions. The Monday night game features top two teams in the NFC West as the 4-3 Cardinals host the 5-2 49ers (8:30pm, TSN).

"I just discovered that my great-grandmother was Jewish, but the rest of my family is not. Does this mean I'm Jewish too? How do I find out how to be Jewish?"
What an interesting discovery about your family heritage! It's not uncommon for individuals to discover that family members in previous generations had a Jewish background.
For many centuries, the Jewish community has determined a person's Jewish identity by the identity of the birth mother. The child of a Jewish mother was Jewish irrespective of the faith and cultural identity of the father. This idea is usually referred to as "matrilineal descent" and is still the practice in Orthodox and Conservative Jewish communities. In recent years, liberal streams of Judaism have broadened that definition. Reform and Reconstructionist streams of Judaism consider a child of one Jewish parent to be Jewish, regardless of whether the Jewish parent is mother or father. This idea is usually called "patrilineal descent," although "bilineal" or "equilineal" descent is really more accurate.
In your case, traditional Jewish communities would consider you to be a Jew only if there was an unbroken genealogical line from your Jewish great-grandmother to you, i.e. your Jewish grandmother is your birth mother's maternal grandmother. Liberal streams of Judaism would not consider you to be Jewish, as neither of your parents was Jewish and you were not raised with Judaism.
There are many opportunities to learn about Judaism that are open to everyone, regardless of one's personal religious identity. You would be welcomed at an introductory class offered by Reform Jewish Outreach Boston, like "A Taste of Judaism" or "Introduction to Judaism." In addition, rabbis are accustomed to receiving and welcoming calls of inquiry like yours. You can call a synagogue to make an appointment to speak one-on-one with a rabbi if you so choose.
Any person can become Jewish by completing a formal process of conversion to Judaism. This typically requires a year-plus period of study, practice and personal reflection under the mentorship of an ordained rabbi or cantor, which culminates in a religious ceremony of conversion.
May your recent discovery lead you to wisdom, joy and blessings!

Kristin Kreuk is reuniting with her Smallville producers.
Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders have joined CW's new series Beauty and the Beast, TVGuide.com has confirmed.
The former Smallville showrunners will act as co-showrunners alongside writers and executive producers Jennifer Levin and Sherri Cooper. The news was first reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
Loosely based on the 1987 CBS series about an ADA and a noble man-beast who make a connection, the updated love story — with Kreuk as the Beauty and Jay Ryan as the Beast — includes a procedural twist. Austin Basis, Nicole Gale Anderson, Max Brown, Brian White and Nina Lisandrello also star.
Beauty and the Beast will air Thursdays at 9/8c on The CW this fall.

Bound By A Common Thread
by Charlie Reitze Unforgettable stories of people who lived off the grid in the backwoods of Maine. To meet these people, I lived out of "Festus," my Toyota pickup truck and a leaky tent, roamed the state of Maine three times, snowshoed across Grand Lake Matagamon, rode a snowmobile along the mountainous roads of Coburn Gore, canoed eighteen miles up Chesuncook Lake, hiked the mountains of Monson, was backed up to one man's front door by a vicious, growling, teeth-baring dog in Waldoboro, walked two miles through mosquito-infested swale in Roque Bluffs, and slept on a roofed picnic table during a violent thunderstorm at Chemquasabamticook (Ross) Lake. As Tom Brown once said, "There is a Spirit that moves in all things." I will always believe that it was guiding my footsteps throughout this book. One of my professors called...Read More

Wembley Tewkes: Imperfections On the Edge
by C. Michael Perry Did you ever have a recurring dream only to wake up one day and find it was NOT a dream? Wembley Tewkes was born 14. At least to those around him in Yarmouth, Maine, it had always seemed like he could do everything he did now. He raised lambs that won the 4H every year. He was good in all his schoolwork, especially history. He was an Eagle Scout, volunteered at the library one day each week after school, was a championship swimmer, and a crackerjack tennis player. Wembley could do anything he set his mind to… … except talk to girls. He had known Brindi Williams since they were little. They grew up playing together, and then came — awkwardness. It just happened; he began acting strange around her. Wembley, strange? Well, he thought...Read More
Daniel Light and the Blood Rose of Panador: Book 2
by C. Michael Perry (What if the one who would be the greatest aid to you was someone you didn't even know?) ABOUT THE BOOK: A battle won in a war that only continues. Yet, the quiet that follows the monumental battle of The Miracle of Mirador, is but a ruse. The Dark is still working, as it always will, in shadows, in secret, even in isolation, to bring to pass its bloody purpose — annihilation of the Light. Daniel, The Miracle of Mirador, is again instrumental in the plan to defeat the Dark, but he is also their principal target. As he grows and learns and comes into his powers, those that aid him will soon prosper. Those who oppose him will not. Adventure and intrigue continue to build as Daniel leads his people — this boy prophet,...Read More

Definition of clinical supervision:
"An intervention provided by a more senior member of a profession to a more junior member or members of that same profession. This relationship is evaluative, extends over time, and has the simultaneous purpose of enhancing the professional functioning of the more junior person(s), monitoring the quality of professional services offered to the client, and serving as a gatekeeper for the profession."

The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee has released a report damning the poor proportions of women at senior levels in science professions. Quite right too. It is a national problem, and an issue on which the Leninist question remains: 'What is to be done'? As ever, the 'doing something' part is where the problems start: how, when and where should we intervene to ensure greater gender equality in science careers?
One aspect of the report which is genuinely infuriating, is the declaration that efforts to encourage females into science at school are 'wasted' if women do not then go the whole hog and adopt science disciplines as undergraduates, postgraduates and eventually as highly skilled workers inside or outside academe. Never mind the structure, feel the process – can you imagine a world where it was said that effort to educate white working class boys at school was 'wasted' because they are not statistically likely to end up at the top of the tree? No, me neither. In other arenas this might be termed victim-blaming. But science is above all that. The Science and Technology report deserves praise for going on to include observations about rewarding and retaining women as careers progress.
So how do women 'fail' to meet their potential in science? Well, they don't actually fail so much as find roadblocks on the way. The report is quite strong in identifying transition points which work against many women sticking at a science career: such as the unstable short-term contracts which dominate post-qualification ; the need to publish regularly, which makes no allowance for career breaks – typically taken to have children. The combination of lack of long-term employment rights and perceived lack of publishing presence over a time period, stymies progression for many early career female scientists. The report is right to suggest that these issues should not only be examined as women's issues, and that fathers who have achieved in science should also be recognised as having to reconcile work and family life. But when the share of females (let alone mothers) in senior positions remains so low (17% professors in STEM subjects) it is clear that the odds remain heavily stacked against women's life trajectories. Furthermore, the report is very open about the fact that scientists' own unconscious bias has a role in appointments, whilst at the same time senior scientists can tend towards a view that their professional standards of objectivity render any recruitment biases null. Research studies, however, consistently demonstrate that panels will recruit males over females, when the only difference in submitted CVs is the gender identity of the name at the top.
So back to the 'what is to be done?' question. Notwithstanding all the difficult issues already raised – and this report's own view that it is presenting nothing new – there are some grounds for optimism. All attempts to quantify the benefits of including women in science at every level appear to pull in the same direction: having women on board improves science produced. Economically it makes no sense to exclude women scientists because we need a strong and diverse science workforce to produce innovation and wealth. The government should be interested in women's participation in science as a rights issue, but even if they are not, there is a short answer as to why they should be: because we're worth it.

Data Storage
Wesleyan offers a variety of data storage options. Data requirements are constantly changing and demands increasing. ITS attempts to keep pace with these changes while working within budgetary limitations. The use of quotas assists in managing storage space. The quotas can be adjusted upon request with justification. ITS maintains enough resources to back up all data stored on the network and a significant portion stored on the desktop.
Large Data/Digital Collections
ITS supports multiple platforms for archiving, storing, and serving out large data and digital collections, some of which are provided directly by ITS using on-site resources and others that are provided via a hosted solution by an off-campus provider. Determining the appropriate solution often requires consultation. This information can get you started. ITS staff are available for consultation on selecting or acquiring storage.
Wesleyan staff and students have access to a file sharing system called Wesfiles (http://wesfiles.wesleyan.edu). This system is web-based and uses your existing Wesleyan login. Users can access their data from anywhere they have an Internet connection. This system also allows for collaboration and file sharing beyond the Wesleyan community through the creation of tickets. Users can give access to files or folders to individuals from other institutions without having to create a guest account.
Dragon is network attached storage that is accessed using a Wesleyan username and password. Dragon is recommended for databases, large data sets, and storage where remote access or non-Wesleyan guest user access is not required. For Mac users, Dragon is mounted using SMB. Dragon continues to be a storage option and there are not plans to discontinue it.
Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive
Wesleyan has an Office365 ecosystem in which all faculty, staff and students have access to a suite of tools including OneDrive. OneDrive allows for file storage and sharing very similar to Google Drive (see below). Files are available via the web or the One Drive client or mobile app. Office365 features include seamless transition between the local applications and online versions as well as simultaneous online editing with collaborators.
Google Drive allows users to store and access files anywhere - on the web, on the local hard drive, or on a mobile device. Whether changing a file on the web, on the computer, or on a mobile device, it updates on every device where there is Google Drive. Any time a device has Internet access, it checks in with Google Drive. That ensures files and folders are always up to date. Change something on one device and it changes everywhere.

Oct 18, 1952 – Mar 25, 2011
It was with profound regret and sorrow that we said goodbye to our beloved friend, daughter, mother, and grandmother on Friday, March 25, 2011. That day many schools and offices around the globe were celebrating Earth hour, which actually took place on Saturday, but it's a nice thought and kind of appropriate that she passed away on the day many people around the world were joined together in celebration of the one thing she loved best, the Earth. Louise was a dedicated thinker, reader and a firm believer in living in the now. She loved nature, rockhounding, cross-stitching and gardening but her greatest passion in life was her grandchildren, whom she adored and spoiled unabashedly. Her love for the Earth and all of it's creatures she gently instilled in her grandchildren, who will in turn carry that forward into their future and their children's future. Louise is now, and forever will be, a part of her cherished planet with which she had a great many conversations. She was a friend, a mentor, and a teacher, but most of all she was a good person and we will miss her. A small family service will be held.
Louise Pearce was born in Galt, Ontario, on October 18, 1952, and passed away in Kamloops, BC. She is predeceased by her brother David Leonard Pearce and her mother Emily Pearce (Inglis). Louise is survived by her daughters Shanna Madison (Dave), Kyla Mckenzie (Weldon) Grandchildren Jenica, Wyatt and Weston. She is lovingly remembered by her father Len Pearce and his wife Barb, and her sister Heather Pearce and her partner Ron. She leaves behind her great friends Nellie and Tex Krombach, Keara Thorne, Lorraine Hunter, Darlene and Steve Muri.

Cleve runs an award-winning studio in Hampton Wick, south-west London, and has been designing gardens since 1990. Projects are diverse, ranging from contemporary urban spaces to large country estates mostly in the UK, occasionnally abroad. These, in turn, vary in style according to the house and its surroundings but essentially they are spaces that are both engaging and restful.
Whether in town or in the country, his aim is to combine structure with sensuality, the classic with the contemporary, invariably with an element of surprise and always with a keen sense of space, artistry and craftmanship. Mindful of the natural world and its inhabitants, Cleve also enjoys improving landscapes where wildlife can flourish and this he finds both fascinating and fullfilling.
Lately his design for the award-winning Horatio's garden, at the Southern Spinal Injuries Trust in Salisbury, has shown just how positive an effect gardens can have on both physical and spiritual well-being.
Cleve has designed several gardens for the Chelsea Flower Show, six of which have won RHS Gold Medals. He is the only designer to have won Best in Show two years in succession (2011 for the Telegraph & 2012 for Brewin Dolphin). He writes for newspapers and magazines and his first book,'Our Plot', celebrates a decade nurturing an allotment in nearby Bushy Park.

There is no Barak Obama!
President-elect Barak Obama, is in reality a virtual person. The American public voted for the virtual-Obama, the person it wished for, not the person that Obama actually is.
The handsome tallish Mulatto with his captivating smile, a voice made in heaven, and oratory skills second to none, is a figment of the public collective imagination; or perhaps, a gift from the Creator to the world, his crumbling creation!
The person that is Barak Obama, the one that the American public elected, is not the person you see, it is rather: JFK, Superman, the Messiah (a la Louis Farrakhan, and others,) Winston Churchill, and the Christ Himself, all rolled into one…
In desperate times people resort to desperate measures, electing Barak Obama is such a measure. The Obama election could prove an act of the Creator and "save" the Nation, or turn out to be just another blimp on the radar screen of history.
The "Change" promised as is demonstrated by early selection of staff, will not come from Obama. If a change occures it will come from the minds, and possibly actions, of the American public.
Let us hope for the best realizing that Obama is not a panacea, but that he is very likely to be a great improvement over President George W. Bush, one of the worse Presidents in the history of the United States.
Good luck Barak Hussein Obama, let the Creator be with you!
PS There is indeed a Barak Obama who from all indications is a very fine person, but as elected, he became what the public wanted him to be, rather than what he really is. Let's hope that, at least in part, the real and virtual Obamas merge and become one…

After a fun and relaxing holiday I am buckling down to finish the last semester of my Master's degree in psychotherapy. Just like last semester I am trying to ensure that I am eating well during these busy weeks. It is so tempting to buy food at the cafeteria, but it is important to me to make my own healthy snacks at home and bring them to school. My favourite snacks include trail mixes with nuts and seeds (almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, raisins, dried cranberries, figs, dates, popcorn, and occasionally chocolate chips are my go-tos), fruit, home-made granola bars, home-made cookies (such as blackbean or hemp-seed based cookies), home-made muffins, feaux peanut butter with banana or apple (I love adding cinnamon), hummus with veggies or crackers, and avocado and nutritional yeast on crackers. My ultimate favourite add-ons to any savoury snack or salad is veggie pâté and home-grown sprouts.
A lot of these snacks are pretty simple, and I'm sure a lot of them are not new to any of you, but my goal in listing my favourite snacks is to inspire some new creativity among anyone who reads this. If you have any other vegan go-tos, let me know!! I'm always looking to be inspired with food.
Moving along to the recipe at hand.
Crackers are a tricky food because many of the store-bought ones contain many unpronounceable ingredients. Not only that, but a lot of crackers have a great deal of sodium in them. I'm not saying I never eat things with excess salt or that have been processed, but I try to keep these foods to a minimum. And, that is why one of my new years resolutions is to make my own crackers. Here is a recipe I tried last weekend. It is good with hummus, veggie pâté, or just on its own. It has protein and veggies in it, which is what I look for in snacks. This recipe was inspired by "The Complete Book of Raw Food 2nd edition" edited by Julie Rodwell.
1 cup flaxmeal (the recipe calls for flaxseed, but I did no have it)
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 large carrot, finely chopped
1/4 cup leek, finely chopped
1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
1/8 cup fresh rosemary
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp oregano
pinch cayenne
1/4 tsp salt
Pepper to taste
I soaked the flaxmeal and sunflower seeds in three cups of water for 6 hours. I then blended everything in a food processor until smooth. The batter was spread about 1/4 inch thick onto three dehydrator trays that I lined with parchment paper. The crackers were dehydrated for 16 hours at 110*F. About six hours in I scored the trays to define how big the crackers were going to be.
The crackers turned out really well, and I am looking forward to experimenting with different kinds of raw crackers. I made some a couple years ago, so go here to check out the beginning of my dehydrating adventure

Bichon Frisé Info & Bichon Frisé Breeders
A Bichon Frisé (French, meaning curly lap dog), is a small breed of dog of the Bichon type. They are popular pets, similar in appearance to but larger than the Maltese.
The American Kennel Club (AKC) refers to the Bichon Frise as "merry" and "cheerful", and the breed standard calls for a dog that is "gentle mannered, sensitive, playful and affectionate". The Bichon Frise loves human company and demands much of your attention. They are generally very sociable and do well with an owner that takes them along on outings. They are charming, affectionate, and intelligent. Bichons do well with children because they are playful and have lots of energy. If affiliated with a particular territory and encouraged by owners, they can become very territorial. Bred to be companion dogs, the Bichon Frise tends to get along well with both children and other animals.
The Bichon Frise is a small dog that weighs approximately 5–10 kg (10–20 lbs) and stands 23–30 cm (9–12 in) at the withers, but slightly larger dogs are not uncommon. The skull is slightly rounded and the muzzle is not pointy. The tail is groomed to be long and curly and is carried over the back. It has a black nose and dark round eyes, its white hair consists of a curly, dense coat with little shedding (much like a poodle in this), although many of the breed do tend to have less curly hair than others. A small amount of buff, cream, or apricot color may be seen around its ears, snout, paws or body, but normally these colors do not exceed 10% of its body. Coat colors are solid white, apricot or grey. A white coat is preferred in the show ring. The head and legs are proportionate in size to the body, and the ears and tail are natural (not docked or cropped). The coat is trimmed often to make the hair seem like an even length.

It turns out there is such a thing as bad publicity after all. Just ask Sepp Blatter.
As you may have heard, Mr. Blatter, the head of soccer's governing body, the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), has had a busy couple of weeks — avoiding arrest while 14 colleagues and associates were indicted on fraud and corruption charges; winning re-election to a fifth term as FIFA president; deciding to resign.
While he waits for other shoes to drop, he might want to curl up with "United Passions," the dramatized history of FIFA that the association mostly financed and in which he figures prominently.
Or, maybe not. "United Passions" is one of the most unwatchable films in recent memory, a dishonest bit of corporate-suite sanitizing that's no good even for laughs. Directed by Frédéric Auburtin from a script he wrote with Jean-Paul Delfino, "United Passions" tracks the rise of the World Cup through three FIFA presidents: Jules Rimet (Gérard Depardieu), who thought up the tournament in the 1920s; João Havelange (Sam Neill), who expanded its reach in the '70s and '80s; and particularly Mr. Blatter (Tim Roth), who came aboard in the '70s and succeeded Mr. Havelange in the '90s.
The stories are of deals made — with Uruguay, to host the first Cup in 1930; with African soccer representatives for political support; with Coca-Cola and Adidas for exclusive marketing agreements — not games played. At least not soccer. (Indeed, surprisingly little soccer is shown.)
Yet there is barely a nod to the corruption scandals that have plagued FIFA for decades. Instead, what passes for drama comes when Mr. Blatter assumes command in 1998. He is shocked, shocked, to find affairs in disarray and tells his executive committee there's a new sheriff in town: "Some of you feel this is an opportunity to close lucrative deals. Think again." And, "The slightest breach of ethics will be punished."
Other lines seem scripted by a legal defense team: One staffer tells Mr. Blatter, "You've been betrayed by the people you've put in power." Another asks, "When are you going to do something to defend yourself?" Mr. Auburtin and some of the actors, who surely knew better, have made noises about being hamstrung by FIFA's financing. Not so fast. If cynicism were a crime, they'd be taking a sheet-covered perp walk of their own.

Who Needs Shareholders?
The current issue of Harvard Business Review article* by Justin Fox and Jay Lorsch of Harvard are arguing the importance of the individual shareholder in the wake of the trend of institutional shareholders now comprising more than 50% of stock ownership. With Facebook's Zuckerberg doing an end run around the individual shareholders, he owns controlling interest in Facebook.
In 1950, individual shareholders controlled about 90% of a company's stock. Today, they control less than 40%, with institutions controlling the rest.
According to Fox and Lorsch, in the modern corporation, the role of outside shareholders is to provide money, information, and discipline. In recent years they've done poorly on all three fronts.
Short term trading gives rise to volatility and there is so much smoke around market prices that the signals that are supposed to be sent are difficult to read. While shareholders are becoming more vocal and have more clout, managers are still lining their own pockets and taking steps that destroy value. Someone needs to perform the tasks that shareholders haven't been able to perform.
While shareholders are more vocal, especially regarding CEO pay and performance, they are not knowledgeable about what a good pay package is, so CEO pay is still going up in the wake of poor performance. And, for whatever reason, shareholders don't seem to care.
How should directors think about their strategy to keep this from happening? Email me with your ideas.

Hi All, I think that most of you already know me if you spend some time in the Italian Visual Basic Tips & Tricks community or if you read some articles I wrote for the MSDN Visual Basic Developer Center or CodeProject; but maybe you downloaded some source projects from CodePlex or Code Gallery and you liked them (hopefully!).
I'm a Team member in the above mentioned VB T&T community and I'm a Microsoft MVP in Visual Basic development.
I decided to start this new English language blog (and I have to thank the VB T&T guys for hosting) because while being an MVP and writing articles for important Websites outside Italy I learnt a vision of Communities which is quite different from the one I had before. I learnt that Communities are not something close in themselves, but as if they were a unique, global community around the world where you can meet very skillful people and friends worldwide.
My main blog will remain the Italian one but here you'll find translations of the most interesting posts of mine, English language articles and screencasts (I love them) about .NET development and specifically WPF, LINQ and VSTO.
So, enjoy the blog and Visual Basic!

God's Peace and blessings to you all! Here is my sermon from the Vigil of Pentecost service we had a few weeks prior. In this sermon I talk about why we have vigils, and why we have confirmations. To put it succinctly, as I said in my sermon, "For those what would ask why we have confirmations when we already have baptism, I would point out that it's the same reason we have Pentecost when we've already had Easter." This is why we're a sacramental Church!
God's Peace and blessings to you all! Here are my sermons from this past Sunday for the Transfiguration. While I am preaching for my particular parish of Holy Spirit as it prepares for a capital campaign for a much needed expansion of our building, this is a story about the spiritual health of any parish as we move from prayer to generosity. How will you make your parish community a "sepulcher of stories," a "tabernacle of tales?" For all the Elijahs we have in our parishes, we need to assure them that we will be with them until the end. And for all our young Elishas, we need to keep encouraging them to chase after all the Elijahs we have and ask that most important question, "What is our story?"
You can find the lectionary readings for this Sunday HERE.
8:30 Service:
10:45 Service:
God's Peace!
Here are the sermons I offered this morning at Church of the Holy Spirit. You can find the lectionary readings HERE.
As we continue to grow into this Easter Season, I would invite you to consider what single, little discipline you can take on, to take that one little step toward being Christ for the world.

10:45 AM Service:
God's Peace.
Dear Siblings, postulants, and friends,
Here is my sermon preaching on the transferred Feast of Martin Luther, which much to my surprise, is actually on the Episcopal Kalendar. As you will hear, for me as a monk, this was no easy sermon. The lectionary was for today was from Isaiah 63:15-64:9 1 John 2:12-17.
Here is the chant for the Trisagion for those that would like to pray the orthodox rosary with this at home.
Another recording of the simplified chant that we use for Compline using the next set of prayers and psalm in the rota.
For our members both in Atlanta, GA and Houston, TX, here are audio files for you to practice our simplified chants for the Order of the Vesper Light with which we open each meeting on Thursdays and the Order of Compline with which we close each meeting.
Vesper Light:
God's Peace and blessings to you all. We continue with our selections from Palladius' "Lausiac History" by exploring Chapter 8: Amoun of Nitria; Chapter 9: Or; and Chapter 10: Pambo.
As you read, consider these questions:
Chapter 8: Amoun of Nitria – Amoun feels called to the full ascetic life, but makes concessions for his wife, who eventually follows his way of life. What can we glean from this in how a contemplative may act within the modern world today? Was he actually unfair or considerate to his wife? Amoun was very concerned about his modesty, and was transported across the river so that he would not have to be seen naked. In our modern world today, in which sex sells the vast majority of products advertised, and magazines and advertisements teach us to objectify one another, how can we respond with our own degree of contemplative modesty?
Chapter 9: Or – This is a very brief passage in comparison to the others that Palladius provides. Nonetheless, he sums up Or's life: "he never lied, nor swore, nor abused any one, nor spoke without necessity." You could almost say that this encapsulates the contemplative life. How well do you live these points out in your own life? What more would you add to this list as necessary for the contemplative life?
Chapter 10: Pambo – Pambo readily gave away a donation made to him to other communities that were more in need. This lesson, perhaps, has more to do with the greater Church in which we, as contemplatives, work. What could our parishes and dioceses learn from this lesson? How does this approach reflect on the whole Church as the Body of Christ? Pambo had no interest in knowing how much silver had been donated, recognizing the giver's root of pride. This is, after all, a very human tendency. How would Pambo teach us to give to those in need? Should we make a great show of how we help others as some parishes and even some Religious Communities do? Or should we simply give, quietly, and as we are able, because God knows all that we do? What lesson does Pambo offer with the incident involving the considerate Pior?
You can find the text online HERE. Enjoy and God's Peace!
God's Peace and blessings to you all! For our next lesson on the Lausiac History, I invite you to read Chapter 5: Alexandra; Chapter 6: The Rich Virgin; and Chapter 7: The Monks of Nitria. As you read consider these questions:
Chapter 5: Alexandra > Alexandra shut herself away in order that another might not fall into temptation an sin. To what degree are we responsibile by the actions we can take for the actions of others? Do you agree with Alexandra's reasoning? Alexandra talk about how she deals with accidie (listlessness and boredom that arise as distractions for those that practice the contemplative life, especially for solitaries). How can we, as modern contemplatives, deal with our own listlessness in our prayer lives?
Chapter 6: The Rich Virgin > This is tough story for modern readers. Holy Macarius' tactics would probably get him in a lot of trouble today! All the same, how do we deal with our own greed and avarice, as we live in a consumer driven world today? Palladius describes the virgin thus: "There was a virgin at Alexandria of humble exterior but haughty inward disposition." That is to say, she had the outward appearance of a monastic, but was not so inwardly. This is hardly a new danger for Christians. After all, I'm sure we all know people who profess to be Christian, but their actions prove otherwise. I have even known, much to my distress, some who simply enjoy wearing habits like monks, but refuse the difficult formation and accountabilty of actual community. People like this are everywhere, and, if we are truly honest with ourselves, we all fall into this trap ourselves at one time or another. So, not having a holy Macarius around all the time, how do we hold each other accountable so that we are contemplatives inwardly first, and thus show ourselves as contemplatives outwardly by response?
Chapter 7: The Monks of Nitria > Palladius observes: "On the mountain live some 5000 men with different modes of life, each living in accordance with his own powers and wishes, so that it is allowed to live alone, or with another, or with a number of others." What does this tell us about the uniformity of contemplative life?
You can find the text for the Lausiac History HERE. Enjoy and God's Peace!

JJB Sports pledged to continue its store expansion programme today after taking its financial figures to another high.
The Wigan-based group successfully sustained its record of improving turnover and profits every year since flotation in 1994.
The latest improvement came after JJB continued its policy of switching to larger superstores and attracting customers with targeted promotions.
Turnover in the six months to July 31 lifted 14% to #347.9m, while pre-tax profits rose to #40.9m from #22.1m last time.
The group said it was still wary of a slowdown in spending caused by the US terrorist crisis but said it was satisfied with trading in recent weeks.
It plans to step up its policy of closing high street stores and replacing them with more
profitable superstores, usually in the same town or city.
JJB has identified 21 sites for the larger format and will close 16 smaller high street outlets in the second half of the year as a result.
The group, which has 432 outlets, said it remained confident of opening between 30 and 40 superstores every year, with 23 superstore sites already identified for next year.
Expansion onto the continent is also being considered and JJB will open a high street superstore in Rotterdam, Holland, next month.
JJB added its new price promotion policy had also reaped dividends in the first half of the financial year.

ST MIRREN defender Jeroen Tesselaar has denied claims that he called Paisley a 'sh**hole'.
Yesterday, we told you that, during a wide-ranging interview with the Buddies defender, Dutch magazine Voetbal International reported that Tesselaar had launched an attack on the town where his current employers are based.
However, the Dutchman refuted the claims in a statement and insisted he had been misquoted.
The piece in Voetball International was written by Dutch journalist Geert-Jan Jakobs who travelled to Scotland to meet Tesselaar then translated by English-based freelance Steve Goodman.
The player said: "When translated into English the majority of the article is very negative and most quotes are not what I said and others are observations of the reporter which seem now to have been attributed to me! For example the reporter arrived at the stadium to do a piece on my football and photography and got a taxi from the airport, he told me about his journey and how the taxi driver had described Paisley as a s***hole yet somehow this has now been written that I said this!
Take a look at our gallery below to see why Paisley is awesome.
"I enjoyed living in Paisley the first time I was here for a year and many of my photographs on my website are of Paisley and the surrounding area showing the town and area in a very positive light. I told the reporter that I live in Glasgow now as my girlfriend works there and so it was more suitable."
Jeroen continued: "I have great respect for the St Mirren fans as I told the reporter, Paisley is not a rich town yet the supporters follow the club very passionately home and away and the Club is very important to them, yet this seems to have been turned against me too.
"I am also really disappointed that some quotes attributed to me must be the reporters opinion, for example swearing and his description of St Mirren Park. I came back to St Mirren as I loved being here the first time and I enjoy my football here.
"I'm also disappointed that I have to deal with this issue when we are preparing for yet another big game this weekend. The fans should be in no doubt that I have a lot of affection for them and our club and my efforts are always to do the best for them and the club, on and off the park."

Welcome to the website of the 5th Canvey Island Air Scout Group.

We are Air Scouts, which means we have an interest in air activities, which gives our young people the opportunity to experience air related activities as well as scouting activities.
We achieved RAF recognition in 2008, which is a great achievement.This does mean however that we expect a high commitiment to the group, including uniform and disicpline.
Mission Statement
