Goosen Edges Mickelson at U.S. Open
SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. – Retief Goosen (search) didn't get the cheers, just the U.S. Open (search) trophy.
In a sterling display of clutch putting and great escapes, Goosen captured his second U.S. Open in four years Sunday at Shinnecock Hills by one-putting the final six greens and letting Phil Mickelson (search) self-destruct.
In the toughest final round at the U.S. Open in 32 years, Goosen closed with a 1-over 71 for a two-shot victory made possible when Mickelson three-putted from 5 feet on the 17th just as the raucous New York gallery was ready to send him off in pursuit of the Grand Slam.
Instead, it was Goosen who picked up his second major, along with validation as a tough customer under the most stifling pressure.
Mickelson, who won the Masters for his first major by shooting 31 on the back nine at Augusta National, looked like he might even bring Shinnecock to its knees with awesome control and three birdies over a four-hole stretch that gave him his first lead of the day.
"I fought hard all day," Mickelson said. "I played some of the best golf I ever played."
But he looked like the Mickelson of old when the U.S. Open was on the line.
From the left bunker on the par-3 17th, Mickelson blasted out to 5 feet, straight down the hill, the wind at his back making the crucial putt feel even faster.
It missed left and kept going, almost as far away on the other side. He missed that one, too, a double bogey that left him two shots behind with one hole to play.
Goosen also found the bunker, but he knocked it out to 3 feet and slipped it in the left corner for par.
When Mickelson failed to birdie the final hole, Goosen needed three putts from just on the fringe to win.
"I just didn't want to three-putt the 18th again, that's all," Goosen said.
He rolled in a 4-foot par putt, removed his cap and shook it at the hole.
Three years ago, Goosen had the U.S. Open at Southern Hills all wrapped up -- until he three-putted from 12 feet on the final hole and fell into a playoff.
He won handily the next day, showing then to be unflappable.
He was just as steady Sunday on a crusty, wind-blown afternoon in which he escaped from trouble time and again.
"Boy, did Retief play well," Mickelson said. "He played solid and deserved to win."
The gallery finally gave the 35-year-old South African his due.
Goosen's brilliant short game, from his amazing par save on the 13th to his clutch birdie on the 16th to regain a share of the lead, his heroics were met with mild applause.
Mickelson was greeted with deafening applause from tee to green, as if the crowd tried to will him to the second leg of the Grand Slam. But he couldn't shake Goosen, or his past demons around the green.
For three days, Mickelson made almost every par putt that mattered.
On the 17th, it all came undone.
"I really don't know what to say there," said Mickelson, who wound up with a 71. "I hit the putt pretty easy. It was downwind. And when the wind gets ahold on these greens, it keeps going."
Goosen finished at 4-under 276, the lowest winning score in the three U.S. Opens held at Shinnecock Hills, and earned $1.125 million.
Making it even more impressive were the brutal conditions that didn't allow anyone to break par in the final round. The average score Sunday was 78.7, the highest for a final U.S. Open round since 1972 at Pebble Beach.
Jeff Maggert shot 72 to finish third, picking up a nice check and valuable Ryder Cup points.
Ernie Els, who played in the final group with Goosen, made double bogey on the first hole and slid all the way to an 80 for his worst score in a U.S. Open.
He wasn't alone.
Tiger Woods didn't make a birdie until his final hole to salvage a 76, his highest score in the U.S. Open as a pro. He finished at 290, the sixth straight major he played over par. He now has gone two full years without a major -- still two majors short of his longest drought, but nowhere near the guy who won two years ago down the road at Bethpage.
The only consolation for Woods this week?
He will remain No. 1 in the world, by a margin that shrinks every week.
But then, Shinnecock Hills was tough on everyone, and horror stories came from all corners.
-- The grass on the seventh green was dead before the final round began. Officials had to water the green, but not before the first four players came through and made three triple bogeys and a bogey.
-- Chris Riley, among the best putters on tour, watched the gallery part as his putt on the first hole rolled off the green and through the crowd, leading to triple bogey.
-- Bo Van Pelt six-putted the fourth green for an 8.
-- Of the 28 players who failed to break 80, Billy Mayfair topped the list at 89.
Jerry Kelly shot 81 and blistered the U.S. Golf Association for the way the course was set up.
"Get off your high horse and be good to the game," Kelly said. "A great golfer will win the Open, whether it's 12 (under par) or whether it's even."
On that there is no argument.
Goosen joined Woods as the only players to win two majors since 1999, and he is especially tough in the major that demands near perfection.
"Everybody struggled," Goosen said. "The course wasn't easy and, you know, I'm just lucky to be on top."
It didn't take long for this to turn into a two-man race.
Goosen looked impervious to the pressure, making one testy par putt after another. Mickelson was clutch, too, answering a sloppy bogey on No. 3 with an 18-foot birdie on the fourth, then making his share of pivotal pars.
When they made the turn, they were the only players under par.
Both made bogey on No. 10 by hitting above the hole and taking three putts. Goosen took command on the tough little 11th with a tee shot that bounced and rolled and turned and finally stopped 4 feet away for birdie.
Back and forth they went, Mickelson trying to answer with birdie, Goosen hanging on for par.
Goosen was deep in the yellow grass right of the 13th fairway and heard another explosion of cheers when Mickelson made an 18-footer ahead of him. Goosen hacked hard, but the ball squirted left into the gallery, leaving him a good lie in a bad position, a bunker between him and the rock-hard green. A double bogey was possible. His lead could have evaporated.
The pitch was nearly perfect, stopping 8 feet behind the hole for a par that never looked possible from the time his ball left the tee.
But it seemed as though Goosen used up all his good fortunes.
From the middle of the 14th fairway, his approach plugged into the front bunker. Goosen hit too softly, and the ball stayed in the thick collar of rough framing the sand. His chip ran 25 feet long, but he coolly sank that to limit the damage to a bogey.
No matter. Mickelson was hitting his stride, and his 10-foot birdie putt dropped on No. 15 for a share of the lead. The gallery was simply delirious, and it only added to the pressure.
But Goosen, as always, was up to any challenge.
He saved par from the bunker on No. 15 with an 8-foot putt. He holed a 12-foot birdie putt on the 16th to stay in the game. Then came the decisive two holes, and the Goose was simply golden.

This company sold an assembled car under the name Newey-Aster in 1907, but seems to have been dealers rather than manufacturers until 1913 when they launched a light car with a 10hp 4-cylinder Aster engine. This was revived briefly after the war, and was joined by a 12/15 with 1750cc Chapuis-Dornier engine. When French engines were unobtainable during the war, Newey imported a 2.4 litre American unit, possilby a Continental, which he put in a car he called the G.N.L., with British built 2 and 4-seater bodies. Newey's ill health brought car making to an end in 1921.

Ok friends, we're now onto the third week of learning how to make color work for you. Last week I led you through the process of determining whether you are a cool or warm season. Now we're going to take this one step further to determine which specific season you fall into. If you decided you are a cool season, you'll now find out if you're a summer or a winter. If you have come to the conclusion that you are a warm season, you'll now break it down to see if you're a spring or an autumn.
Hair: Winter's have dark brown, black, silver or white hair. If you are a Winter, you will not have blonde hair (although it may be possible in you youth).
Skin: Winter's can have a wide range of skin tones. They can include porcelain white, beige, rosy beige, olive, cool beige, almond, cocoa, mocha, mahogany, and ebony to black with blue or redish undertones.
Eyes: Most Winter's will have dark colored eyes but they can also have a cool hazel with blue or a green. A few Winter's may have dark blue, gray blue, gray green or charcoal eyes. Gray rims around the iris are another Winter indicator.
As a visual, here are a few notable Winters. You'll often see them wearing black and red which are perfect colors for them.
Winter's, here is the color palette that will look the best on you. You are the lucky, and only, season that is able to pull off black and pure white. The rest of us should try to keep them away from our face as best we can. Winter's should never wear shades of brown, orange or ivory. Winter's should choose dark, bright and clear tones in contrast to Summer's who would choose muted, softer and less intense colors.
Hair: Summer's have gray, brown or blonde hair. Browns may be light, medium or dark ash brown. Grays will be a pearly cool gray or a gray blonde. Blondes will only have ashy tones, no gold.
Skin: Summer's will have pink, rose or blue undertones. Skins tones range from porcelain to pale, neutral, cool or rose beige. If there are freckles, they are rosy or charcoal gray.
Eyes: Their eyes will typically be blue or green with white flecks, gray blue, aqua, blue green, blue gray, or cool hazel with blue or green.
Here are a few notable Summer's as a visual. Note how well the softer shades work on them.
Here is the Summer color palette. This palette is full of soft colors with blue undertones. Shades of orange should be avoided.
WARMS, this is where you come in. You will fall into the Autumn or Spring categories.
Hair: Autumn's hair can range from copper red to chestnut brown. Tones include golden brown, golden red and dark warm brown. If brunette, they'll have golds or reds through their hair.
Skin: Autumn's will have gold undertones appearing more orangish than blue. They're skin can be ivory, peach, golden beige, coppery, bronze, caramel, maple or golden brown.
Eyes: Eye color will vary but can include dark brown, golden brown, green and amber. There will be a golden warmth in the iris. Occasionally an Autumn will have aqua or turquoise eyes which will typically be accompanied by red hair.
Here are notable Autumn's as a visual guide. Note how well they wear golds and browns.
Here is the Autumn color palette. Golden undertones work very well for this season. Colors to avoid include pink and gray.
Hair: Spring's will have blonde hair in shades of gold, strawberry or beige. It can also be caramel, copper or champagne.
Skin: Spring's will have warm or gold undertones which can be creamy, ivory, peach, peach beige or golden beige. Typically Springs (along with Summer's) have light skin.
Eyes: Spring's tend to have blue, green or aqua eyes. They may also have warm amber, warm hazel with golden brown or green gold tones, blue green, topaz, caramel or turquoise eyes. Golden flecks may also be found around the iris.
Here are notable Spring's for reference.
Here is the Spring color palette. Peach, golden yellow and golden brown look great on Spring's, but they should typically avoid shades of pink.
Phew, that was a mouthful! I'm hoping that this post was helpful in allowing you to figure out your correct season. Which are you?? This is the start to being able to dress and feel your best. I should also note that while I was searching through various pics of these celebs, I found many of them wearing colors that weren't in their palette, yet they still looked flawless. Let me just remind you that these beauties also have a team of make-up artists that can work wonders. For those of us that don't have any such teams in our bathrooms, it's probably best to use this as a guide and enhance your natural beauty.
I'll be continuing next week with more tips and tricks, so stay tuned.

2023 a promising year for tourism: official State-owned banks under capital increase pressure Vietnam posts trade surplus of 3.6 billion USD in January
Promoting Vietnam's supporting industries to deeply participate in global value chains
VCN - Developing supporting industries is of great significance in the process of deeper participation in global value chains and economic transformation towards industrialization. Customs News spoke with Ms. Le Nguyen Duy Oanh, Deputy Director of the Centre for Supporting Industry Development, Ho Chi Minh City Department of Industry and Trade, about this issue.
Vietnamese firms in supporting industries developing in quantity, quality
Tax incentives for supporting industries: Waiting for businesses to take advantage
Vietnam, Turkey hold B2B matching webinar for supporting industries
Ms. Le Nguyen Duy Oanh
Supporting industry development is important in the process of deeper participation in the global value chain. What are the advantages of the supporting industry in Ho Chi Minh City in particular and Vietnam in general?
Enterprises in the supporting industry in Ho Chi Minh City in particular and Vietnam in general have opportunities to develop, because at present, although the situation of attracting foreign investment of Vietnam faced many difficulties in 2020, 2021 and the first months of 2022, there have been great opportunities in attracting investment, such as large supply chains from countries in the fields of processing and manufacturing which are shifting investment to Vietnam.
Specifically, Samsung Group's investment expansion or PVI Vietnam's new investment in handheld devices, or Apple's supply chain, have moved production to Vietnam. The increased investment opportunities in the manufacturing and processing sector in Vietnam have created great opportunities to develop and join the global supply chain for the supporting industry sector.
In addition, the disruption of the supply chain during the pandemic and the slow recovery of the supply chain in some countries also create opportunities for Vietnamese supporting industry enterprises.
Because enterprises investing in Vietnam, especially those with large export markets from Vietnam to other countries, want to solve difficulties from the supply chain disruption, they must have a localization strategy of supply.
Vietnam has an important political position in Southeast Asia, along with the expansion of bilateral and multilateral economic cooperation, free trade agreements also help Vietnamese enterprises have more opportunities with export markets. Accordingly, our production in general and supporting industry production for the terminal industrial production in particular will have the opportunity to participate in the global supply chain.
Besides opportunities, what are the difficulties and challenges that supporting industry enterprises are facing, especially in the post-Covid-19 period?
The big challenge that supporting industry manufacturing enterprises face is to have better competitiveness to compete with other manufacturing enterprises in the region.
Specifically, in order for enterprises to participate in the global supply chain, enterprises must overcome the requirements and barriers of enterprises in the chain and supply capacity. However, we realize that the supply capacity of Vietnamese supporting industry enterprises is facing difficulties in terms of high-quality human resources to operate and optimize the plant's operations, helping enterprises have better competitive capacity in terms of price and quality.
Besides, before the requirements and opportunities that supporting industry enterprises are available, in order to realize the opportunities, they have certain difficulties in expanding the scale of factory production. Currently, the cost of land to expand factories in Ho Chi Minh City is very high, while preferential policies and support for land and investment premises are not currently regulated by the Government. This will be very difficult if the business is not financially capable. It is difficult to have larger land plots, to build larger factories in Ho Chi Minh City for supporting industry enterprises.
Especially, after the Covid-19 pandemic, the demand for orders for supporting industries has increased, but the challenges of enterprises are also too great when they want to invest and innovate.
For example, Duy Khanh Mechanical Company is also a supporting industry enterprise, during the pandemic, Duy Khanh invested in expanding a new factory compared to the old factory with more than 50 years. However, it takes them 1 to 2 years to implement, then those opportunities are even more challenging for supporting industry enterprises.
Could you tell us about solutions and recommendations to unlock resources for the development of supporting industries?
Enterprises can rely on external resources to develop their internal human resources. Accordingly, the first thing we are doing and together with many other consulting organizations are implementing activities on 5S KaiZen (management model to improve productivity, improve quality, cut costs and improve high morale of employees) in training human resources for enterprises to well implement these tools at factories.
Because, with 5S KaiZen, enterprises have the conditions to apply all other standards as well as other management tools in the factory to operate effectively. In addition, we and the Association of Mechanical and Electrical Enterprises of Ho Chi Minh City to work with a number of enterprises as well as consultants to have an open source of knowledge for the supporting industry. At the same time, develop a vocational training system to provide resources for supporting industrial production as well as find a network of experts. When enterprises need human resource training activities, these experts join to form a network of consultants to support enterprises. This is also an additional resource for enterprises in the process of human resource development, to better meet the demand for supporting industrial production to participate more deeply in the global supply chain.
Thank Madam!

Russia Ukraine gas dispute
by F William Engdahl January 11, 2009 September 23, 2020
Russia cut off the natural gas it sends to Europe through Ukraine on Wednesday when a payment dispute escalated. Russia claims Ukraine siphoned off gas for its own use. Ukraine denies this. Russia stopped all natural gas supplies to Ukraine on 1 January, but kept supplies flowing to Europe through Ukraine's pipelines until Wednesday, when all deliveries were stopped. At least 15 nations – Austria, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Croatia, the Czech Republic, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Turkey – all reported a halt in Russian gas shipments by Wednesday. Germany and Poland also reported substantial drops in supplies. Author and political economist William Engdahl believes the dispute forms part of a strategy by Ukraine to "gain geopolitical influence with the west."
F William Engdahl
F William Engdahl is an economist and author and the writer of the best selling book "A Century of War: Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order." Mr Engdhahl has written on issues of energy, politics and economics for more than 30 years, beginning with the first oil shock in the early 1970s. Mr. Engdahl contributes regularly to a number of publications including Asia Times Online, Asia, Inc, Japan's Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Foresight magazine; Freitag and ZeitFragen newspapers in Germany and Switzerland respectively.

Welcome To TingletownASMR Is YouTube's Most Controversial Secret Community
Published on July 31, 2017 at 10:38am
A slim white woman with blonde hair leans close to the camera, holding your gaze for a moment before whispering in your right ear.
"Hey," she says, breathily, before swooping to the other ear. "It's me."
She spends the next 20 minutes painstakingly tapping on a series of objects, rasping the microphone with makeup brushes, and narrating, all in a low whisper picked up by a high-end microphone. Her goal is to give the listener the "tingles"—a reaction known as Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR)—a sensation that's difficult to describe, though you'll know it when you feel it. For some people, the sensation of having their hair played with, the sound of a crinkling bag of crisps, the rasp of the pages of a book being turned, or a whispering voice provokes a tingling that starts on the head and moves down their backs. Some describe it as a chill, others as a sense of slowly spreading heat.
For so-called "tingleheads," ASMR is a pleasant, dreamy sensation that helps them relax, get to sleep, or cope with the stresses of life. Some think of it not just as sensual but also sexual, an issue that has touched off considerable debate within the world of ASMR. Outsiders think it's just plain weird, but if you search for "ASMR" on YouTube, there are several content creators, known as ASMRtists, who can trigger the sensation. All ASMRtists are not created equal, though: It's very much a white woman's world, with very few male creators and creators of color. There isn't a coordinated effort to address the monochromatic nature of ASMRtists, but ASMR's race problem is just the tip of a surprisingly deep iceberg. This is a complex online culture filled with creators and the people who watch, obsess, and, in some cases, harass them.
Tracking the history of the tingles
The research for ASMR is relatively new and not yet expansive, but shows that ASMR is definitely real. In 2015, researchers Emma L. Barratt and Nick J. Davis explored ASMR in nearly 500 participants, including men, women, and nonbinary people. Many of their participants also experienced synaesthesia, suggesting that the tingles could be associated with other sensory phenomena—like hearing in color, or seeing in sound. In 2016, researchers looked at how the brains of people who experience ASMR function, observing that though the sample was small, people who experience ASMR may be wired differently. Researchers have also studied personality traits among tingleheads, searching for reasons why some people experience this distinctive sensation.
While people have been getting the tingles for centuries—with ASMR content creator Ilse, a.k.a. TheWaterwhispers, telling Bitch that she first noticed the sensation in childhood when her grandmother used to whisper stories to her—it became an online phenomenon 10 years ago, when a user on SteadyHealth started a thread called "Weird sensation feels good." The 21-year-old's thread was promptly flooded with responses from users reporting a similar sensation, and it spilled over into a second thread of people sharing experiences.
That seems to have been the tipping point for ASMR, though the term hadn't been invented yet. One person suggested "Attention Induced Head Orgasm," and shortly thereafter, WhisperingLife launched what Ilse says was the first channel dedicated to "whisper videos." The channel, which has just over 6,000 subscribers, hasn't been updated in nine months, but it's filled with what one might think of "classic" whispering videos — a soothing woman's voice murmuring, often about nothing in particular, while doing simple things like doodling.
In 2009, variations on the terminology started popping up, such as "Attention Induced Euphoria," which was officially replaced in 2010 by "ASMR." Jennifer Allen coined the phrase because she wanted a term that was "objective" and "comfortable" for people to use while talking about the tingles. Facebook groups, websites, and reddit threads dedicated to ASMR then began to abound, followed by a proliferation of ASMRtists creating whisper videos and branching out into role playing, manipulating objects, and designing videos to trigger the response.
Emma—known as WhispersRedASMR on YouTube—is a popular ASMRtist who makes a range of videos, from "tingle baskets" featuring collections of items that make intriguing noises when tapped, brushed, shaken, or crinkled, to videos exploring holistic health and spirituality. She tells Bitch that she started making ASMR videos to "give back" to the community, a sentiment echoed by Dmitri of MassageASMR, one of the few prominent male ASMRtists on YouTube.
The hostile side of ASMR
The ASMR community, however, isn't always loving. "Once I started opening up social media accounts, especially for my ASMR persona, guys would send me penis pictures," Ilse says.
"I don't have too much of a problem," says Dmitri, AKA MassageASMR, "because I'm male, I'm old, and I've seen it all before." Emma notes she's also a "bit older" than the youthful ASMR cohort and doesn't experience the same type of harassment. But both observe harassment, with Dmitri commenting that: "There's harassment and bullying. The comments can be quite negative."
Browsing YouTube comments, and those on Reddit threads about ASMRtists, reveals the usual assortment of internet harassment, but also a great deal of body snark and slut shaming about "cleavage thumbnail bitches" and "camel toe." Ilse comments, for example, that she constantly gets rude comments about her nails. Maria—Gentle Whispering ASMR on YouTube—-says she gets marriage proposals and elaborate descriptions of dream dates, something Ilse experiences as well. Maria is also targeted for harassment because of her Russian accent.
Commenters will complain about how ASMRtists dress or do their hair and makeup, says Ilse, and sometimes content creators even snipe at each other for oversexualizing their art form. Sometimes that harassment gets elaborate. In 2013, content creator Heather Feather ASMR wrote about imposter accounts being used to "discredit your character."
Meanwhile, some complain that "drama" in the ASMR community is on the rise. Prominent YouTuber ASMR Darling found herself in the middle of controversy when her channel became the unwitting stage for an argument with her boyfriend. In the aftermath of a pair of now-deleted videos, commenters expressed concern and a desire to intervene in what they perceived as an abusive relationship, mirroring an experience Ilse had in 2016, when she opened up about difficulties in her relationship and felt hounded by commenters. "People told me what to do, and started to become really mean and harsh," she says. She uploaded a second video asking commenters to stop, and lost 4,000 subscribers and racked up hostile, snarky comments on Reddit. "I came more and more to the conclusion that I became the puppet of the audience," Ilse says, speaking to the sense of ownership among her followers who still bring the incident up.
YouTube offers few options for content creators struggling with harassment: It's possible to ban users, but in a world where accounts are free and easy to create, a determined harasser can simply make a new one. Content creators can establish a "blacklist" of forbidden words and phrases, but Emma notes that creative commenters can get around it. For example, if you blacklist "fuck," commenters can still use "f&ck." It's not possible to remove specific offending comments, though they can be flagged.
With ASMR turning into a business—many content creators monetize, and have to maintain relationships with viewers and the community—harassment can also spill onto Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms. It can also wind up in inboxes. While there is a private Facebook group for content creators to support each other, it's heavily focused on discussions about removing stolen content.
Among ASMRtists who have been on the scene for a while, a common theme starts emerging: Maria, for example, says that harassment is simply part of being online, while Ilse and Dmitri both speak to the need to ignore harassment and focus on your own work. "There are so many people that talk trash that I try to stay away," she says. "Don't feed the trolls" is the only recourse in an era when trolls are growing ever more aggressive, and more sophisticated.
A hot debate over sensuality
When ASMR comes up, "Isn't that some kind of weird sex thing?" isn't far behind, perhaps because it was originally described as a "brain orgasm" or "braingasm." Arguments over ASMR and sexuality have created strong divides, especially among perplexed outsiders. "I can't help but perceive the videos as sexual anyway," remarks one Reddit commenter who also says they don't experience ASMR. "It's pretty much just a weird fetish," says another. In another conversation about ASMR and sexuality, Reddit commenter kdoodlethug cut to the heart of the issue: "There is the unfortunate side-effect that people will assume ASMR is strictly a sexual thing, but that doesn't mean sexualized ASMR isn't legitimate."
Some ASMRtists, like SweetWhispers Sensual ASMR, actually make purposefully sensual and sexual videos, recognizing that for some people, the tingles do have a sexual component or are associated with a sexual experience. Ilse notes that depending on when and how people discover an ASMR response, it could become inadvertently sexualized; as for instance if you don't experience ASMR until you're a teenager and a partner is whispering in your ear, triggering an ASMR response while also stirring up sexual excitement.
"It's growing and changing and progressing and evolving," Maria says. She recognizes that sensual ASMR channels exist, but she doesn't view it as a sexual sensation. "I'm one of those people who gets ASMR sensation when I watch small children play, or do puzzles, and I would never ever say it's in any way a sexual feeling." Context matters, argues Maria, who comments that ASMR in a setting with sexual elements could become a sexual stimulus. But others, like Emma, say they find it relaxing rather than sexual at all.
The debate over whether ASMR is sexual also feeds the abuse of female creators on a platform that isn't exactly known for being kind and respectful. Women are already treated as sexually available at all times in essentially any setting, and YouTube content creators are particularly vulnerable as they put their faces and voices on the internet. With ASMR occupying a strange sexual/not sexual space, the women of ASMR can become simultaneous objects of sexualized commentary and debate over whether they're making ASMR too sexy—as is often the case for women, there is no way to win. Their status as public figures/sex objects can turn them into targets for aggressive sexual harassment.
Some people who experience the sensation complain about "cam girls" spoiling the purity of ASMR. They argue that sexualizing it, or acknowledging that some people experience the sensation as a sexual stimulus, makes ASMR into something people have to "justify." Slut-shaming also appears in YouTube comments criticizing ASMRtists for having visible breasts or wearing makeup. The comment section is littered with racism and misogyny, while sexualized comments, fetish requests, and rape jokes about ASMRtists are quite common.
The line between the tingles and sexual arousal isn't as clear as some wish it could be—but the desire to separate it is understandable. But whenever sex enters the equation, things can get snarly, particularly when many ASMR viewers are men. Maria says that she feels the need to "look groomed and nice and approachable and attractive in a certain way" because she's been criticized about her appearance.
"Fact: Pretty girls get more subs. Lots more," as one Reddit commenter puts it.
The future of ASMR is bright, with this highly specific niche of the internet growing all the time. But without tools to combat harassment, and in a climate where creators like Ilse are punished for trying to draw boundaries, ASMRtists will continue to periodically disappear for no reason, provoking "where did she go?" threads on Reddit. "Whenever a content creator deletes their channel, that's kind of big news in a small community, that this person who has been doing this had to delete because they're being harassed " says Dmitri.
The community struggles with a collective agreement to keep ASMR a neutral political and social space. Without that critical engagement though, the lack of diversity in the ASMR community will continue to go unremarked and unaddressed, and so too will the harassment that creates a barrier to entry to, and peaceful enjoyment of Tingletown.

Everyone experiences a creative road-block from time to time.
The good news is that you don't have to be stuck and frustrated for very long.
Below are ideas and solutions to help tear down the wall and allow your creative juices to flow freely once again.

Re: How Do I Spark My Creative Juices When I'm Stuck?
Your office may be the cause of your creative block. After sitting in the same chair day after day, it can certainly take its toll on your ability to produce. Head to a coffee shop, park, or bookstore for a rush of energy that'll inspire you to create!
Consider going to a mom and pop coffee shop rather than a franchise. Coffee houses like Starbucks and Panera Bread can be quite noisy and distracting.
Take a walk in a forest or somewhere beautiful outdoors. The secret to abolishing your creative block is to get out into the great outdoors and get your adrenaline pumping.
Many times, the fear of failure or creating something that isn't top notch is the only barrier between you and success. Let your insecurities fall by the wayside and create a masterpiece that is divine in your eyes.
If you obstruct your creative process by being too rigid or expecting too much too soon, you'll send your creative juices into hideout indefinitely. Release the pressure and allow your mind to freely express itself.
Paint an abstract painting using colors you generally never use. Choose a topic that's close to your heart and just write the words that come to your mind without editing. Or, doodle in your notepad until an image is just right for your design.
Every creative professional has an industry hero. For a copywriter, it may be Gary Halbert. A stationary designer may enjoy the work of Nicole Balch. Browse through your hero's portfolio and become inspired to create your own work.
Stress can be detrimental to your creativity.
Avoid situations where you feel overly stressed or uptight. If you're like most people, you'll likely do most of your creative thinking in a calm environment. Too much stress can hinder your creative mind, so remember to take breaks when needed.
Some creative professionals swear by meditation. Meditation quiets your mind from excessive unproductive thinking and allows it to be open to new ideas.

I have never though of Oregon as a particularly sunny place for a solar farm. I am no expert, but I guess they would need more panels to collect the same energy compared to a solar farm in say Arizona. Can anyone opine on my guess here with facts? It would be interesting to understand how location affects solar panel surface area requirements. Thanks!

duanqian1129
SAO PAULO - The duel for the Formula One title arrives in Brazil with Mercedes teammates Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg fighting to get into good position ahead of the season-ending race in Abu Dhabi later this month. Jonathan Isaac Jersey .Rosberg needs to win in Brazil on Sunday to have a real shot at his first title. Hamilton just needs to stay close to his teammate to close in on his second drivers title.The championship cant be decided at Interlagos this weekend because the race in Abu Dhabi will be worth double points, but the result in Sao Paulo will determine how the title fight will be set up for the finale.Hamilton has a 24-point lead and would clinch the title with consecutive second-place finishes or by coming third in Brazil and a second in Abu Dhabi. Rosberg will need to be nearly perfect in both races to keep his hopes alive.Its clear that I need to rely on something happening, Rosberg said. For sure its not enough for me to win, unfortunately, but thats the way it is. In sports, so much can happen, so Im still very optimistic.Hamilton has been on a remarkable run in the final part of the season, winning five straight races to open up a big lead going into the decisive races. He started behind Rosberg in two of the last three races but was still able to overcome his teammate and finish with the victory.Its been quite a phenomenal season, Hamilton said. This year, for sure, has been the best year of my career. I feel like Ive grown as a driver.The 29-year-old Rosberg led the drivers standings early in the season but failed to keep up with Hamilton in the later part. He hasnt won since the German GP at home in July, eight races ago. He stayed within range of his teammate by finishing second in five of the last six races.The start of Rosbergs struggles began almost at the same time as his relationship with Hamilton deteriorated following contact between them at the Belgian GP. The 29-year-old British driver was angry about being taken out by his teammate and Rosberg was also criticized by team officials.I dont think anything has changed, Rosberg said. It was an intense battle before and it still is an intense battle now. I dont know his exact opinion on things, but for me nothing has changed since then.Lewis has done a little bit of a better job since then. Thats it, pretty simple, Rosberg added. But as I say, still two races (left).The title race remains undecided in great part because of the rule change that made the season-ending race worth double points, a move aimed at keeping fan interest alive throughout the season.Great news that for sure this year I have a chance to win the championship the way it is now, thats a good thing, Rosberg said. Im also happy because its good for the fans and that its going to be exciting until the very end.

Sixth-ranked Kvitova beat Roberta Vinci 6-3, 7-5 for an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the semifinals. The remaining doubles cant change the overall result. The Czechs face Germany in the final in November at home. "It will be great to play the final at home," Kvitova said. "We have an excellent team, its not just about one player." Its the third final for the Czechs in four years after they claimed the Fed Cup title in 2011 and 12 and won nine of the last 10 Fed Cup ties, losing only to Italy in last years semis. Vinci replaced Sara Errani -- who was originally named for the match -- and had a 2-1 record against Kvitova after beating her twice last year on clay.

San Jose Sharks in Game 6.
The Los Angeles Kings will try to fight off elimination again and forge a tie in their Western Conference first round series when they host the San Jose Sharks in Game 6. Fausse Yeezy 700 Pas Cher . The Sharks, who had a 3-0 series lead only to see the Kings battle back with two wins, will turn to Alex Stalock in goal. Stalock will be making his first career playoff start. Sharks goaltender Antti Niemi was pulled for the second straight game after allowing three goals on 19 shots. Stalock took over early in the second and stopped all 22 shots he faced in relief for the Sharks, who finished 0- for-5 on the power play. "They werent going to roll over and die," Sharks defenseman Dan Boyle said of the Kings. "They played well. We just have to go out there and win a game." The Sharks are hoping for a repeat of the Game 3 result. San Jose had lost eight straight in Los Angeles before posting that win 4-3 overtime win last Tuesday. A win tonight will get San Jose into the second round for the fourth time in five seasons. A loss means the Sharks will host a decisive Game 7 on Wednesday at SAP Center. The winner of this series will face Anaheim in the second round. The Ducks eliminated Dallas in six games with a road comeback win on Sunday night. The Sharks will be without defenceman Marc-Edouard Vlasic tonight after he left Saturdays game with an upper-body injury following a collision with L.A. forward Jarret Stoll. Vlasic, who helped Team Canada win gold at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, did not practice on Sunday. Vlasic averaged 20 minutes, 42 seconds of ice time for San Jose in 81 regular- season games. With Vlasic out, the Sharks expect to insert defenceman Matt Irwin into the lineup. Los Angeles dropped the first three games of this set and are trying to become only the fourth team in NHL history to win a best-of-seven series after trailing 3-0. The 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs, 1975 New York Islanders and 2010 Philadelphia Flyers are the only clubs to have pulled off the monumental comeback. If L.A. wins Monday it will become only the ninth team in NHL history to even force a Game 7 after falling behind three games to none. Los Angeles does have a few players on its roster that were part of a 3-0 playoff comeback. Kings forwards Jeff Carter and Mike Richards were both members of the 2010 Flyers team that stormed back to beat Boston in the conference semifinals after losing the first three games. Carter, however, missed that historic series with a broken foot before returning later in the playoffs to help Philadelphia make a surprise run to the Cup Finals. The Kings were outscored 17-8 by the Sharks in losing the first three games of this series, but L.A. answered with a 6-3 home win on Thursday before notching a 3-0 triumph Saturday in San Jose. Jonathan Quick stopped 30 shots to secure his eighth career postseason shutout and help the Kings stay alive. After avoiding a sweep with a lopsided win in Game 4, the Kings scored twice in the first period Saturday and added another marker 22 seconds into the second before leaving the rest to their veteran netminder. Quick was up to the task, posting 24 of his 30 saves over the final 40 minutes to force tonights game at the Staples Center. Anze Kopitar, Tyler Toffoli and Carter each registered a goal for the Kings, who had lost their last five playoff games in San Jose before ending the slide Saturday. "We gave ourselves a chance to play another game," Kopitar remarked. "Its a Game 7, obviously, for us again. Were going to enjoy this one tonight and start getting ready tomorrow." Los Angeles hasnt been eliminated in the opening round since 2011, when San Jose beat them in six games. Vapormax Pas Cher Destockage . Price also posted the longest shutout sequence since 1960 at 164:19 minutes. He stopped a combined 55 shots in Canadas final two games and 70 of 71 shots in Canadas three elimination games, allowing only a breakaway goal to Lauris Darzins of Latvia. For his efforts, Price was named best goalkeeper by the tournament directorate.

contentious 7-0 whitewash against
Washington, DC (SportsNetwork. Cheap Blackhawks Jerseys .com) - Braden Holtby recorded his 15th career shutout and the Washington Capitals clipped the Philadelphia Flyers, 1-0, at Verizon Center. Holtby, who authored a contentious 7-0 whitewash against Wednesdays opponent back on Nov. 1, 2013, enjoyed a calmer decision this time around, stopping all 21 shots he faced to record his fourth clean sheet this season. Jason Chimera supplied the necessary offense early in the first period for the Capitals, who improved to 6-0-1 in the month of January. Its ramped up a little bit higher when the Flyers are in town. We havent played a lot of our Metro Division -- the Rangers, the Flyers -- so we could tell how there was a different energy in the building, said Caps head coach Barry Trotz. Rob Zepp made 25 saves but suffered his first NHL defeat in his third career start for the Flyers, who were coming off a 3-1-0 homestand including a 7-3 win over Tampa Bay on Monday. The Flyers went with an extra skater for the games final 1:23, and the Caps were fortunate the game did not progress beyond regulation. Holtby received some luck as Vincent Lecavalier was unable to push a Brayden Schenn rebound into an open net from the right side of the crease with just over a minute left. Joel Ward missed his chance to hit the vacant cage with 40 seconds to play and Flyers captain Claude Giroux flubbed a one-timer from the left circle on the visitors next trip into the offensive zone. We played well, but we dont deserve a point. We missed some opportunities offensively, said Flyers head coach Craig Berube. It was almost an empty net there (on Lecavaliers chance), but weve got to bear down and put those in. The Caps opened the scoring at 3:13 of the first period. Chimera was caught behind the Philadelphia net as the puck approached the blue line, but Matt Niskanen kept it in and Chimera managed to redirect his shot between his legs and past a sliding Zepp. With the fire power we have in here, its hard to think that you get one goal and win out. Just shows you signs that we win different ways, Chimera noted. Zepp did his part to keep his club in the game, moving from left to right to deny Alex Ovechkin from the right side before the six-minute mark. Holtby stayed stationary to make two quick saves on Wayne Simmonds and then swallow up a Giroux break-in less than 4 1/2 minutes into the second. Zepp later came up with a game preserving stop. His line of vision was obscured by traffic in front, yet he was able to flash his right pad to deny Eric Fehr in close with 52 seconds left in the middle frame. I had to fight through some traffic to see [the shot], but I did see him pull it, Zepp related. I saw him cut to the middle, so I just tried to use my feet to get me there. I got a good push and was able to get there. Game Notes Holtbys 1-0 decision was the first for the Capitals against the Flyers since Clint Malarchuk was in net at the Spectrum on Jan. 26, 1989 ...

clear favourite to go No.
If you havent heard about Auston Matthews, you will. Panthers Jerseys 2020 . The 17-year-old centre from Scottsdale, Arizona, misses the 2015 NHL Draft by two days. He was born Sept. 17, 1997 – 48 hours after the eligibility deadline. He is the clear favourite to go No. 1 in the 2016 Draft. Were he available for next Junes draft in Sunrise, Florida, he would – in my view - be considered in the same category as Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel. Matthews rocketed to stardom in 2013-14 with 24 goals in 44 games split between the USA U-17 (12-21-33 in 24 games) and U-18 (12-5-17 in 20 games) national teams. Watching Matthews, I see a player capable of impacting the game in multiple ways. The 6-foot-1, 194-pounder is an excellent skater who can beat opponents with speed or quickness and is capable of executing plays at high speed. His passing skills are precise and he has the ability to score off the rush, off the cycle, from a distance, from in close. He has the intelligence of high-end players and exudes an uncommon confidence. He swats away obstacles as though they are merely irritating flies. Matthews emergence gives new meaning to the term hockey hotbed. He is the first bonafide star from Scottsdale – one of the most desirable winter getaways in North America. Major League Baseball has spring training in Arizona and the Cactus League attracts baseball enthusiasts to the area every February and March. Peter Ward, the Director of Player Personnel for the National Team Development Program, must have felt like he hit a home run when he found Matthews, who eventually migrated north to the Ann Arbor, Michigan-based program in 2013. Ward received a call from the late Tim Taylor, an assistant coach for the NTDP and an iconic figure in USA Hockey circles, in 2010. He told me, there was a thirteen-year-old who was pretty good and that I should watch him, Ward recalls. Keep in mind that the NTDP is recruiting players who will turn 16 and 13-year-olds, while promising, are not on the recruiting radar. Ward says, Auston was playing in a tournament in New England and it so happened that he played against (2015 draft prospects) Noah Hanifin, Colin White and Casey Fitzgerald so it was a good base of competition. This is always a dilemma for scouting personnel, evaluating a talented player versus good competition. Ward added: It was very clear that Auston possessed the athleticism, the skills and the hockey IQ of top young players. One more factor stood out for Ward: He didnt play one position, he played them all. He would go off the ice playing one position and go on again and play a different one. It didnt matter if he was playing forward or defence, he excelled. Fast-forward to April, 2014, Team USA is playing in the IIHF World Under-18 Championship and a team led by Eichel is also being fueled by a 16-year-old underager. Matthews had five goals and two assists in seven games; Eichel, five goals and five assists for the gold medal-winning Americans. All indications are that Auston Matthews is pure gold. Florida Panthers Pro Shop Wholesale Panthers Jerseys . The Philadelphia Eagles acquired running back Darren Sproles from the New Orleans Saints for a fifth-round draft pick on Tuesday. PITTSBURGH -- Every time the St. Louis Cardinals faced Francisco Liriano in 2013, the Pittsburgh Pirates left-hander found a way to push the Cardinals around. At long last, St. Louis pushed back. The Cardinals jumped on the Pirates ace early, Yadier Molina hit his second homer of the season and Jhonny Peralta added a late two-run shot as St. Louis pulled away for a 6-1 win on Saturday night. The victory was the first by the Cardinals against Liriano, who went 4-0 with a 1.16 ERA against St. Louis last season, including a triumph in Game 3 of the NL division series. "Hes tough, man, but he caught a lot of the plate with his pitches tonight, especially in the first inning and then on the home run," Molina said. "Hes a tough pitcher and we kind of caught him when he wasnt at his best." Molina finished 2 for 4 and his solo homer in the sixth gave the Cardinals plenty of cushion as they bounced back from a 12-2 loss on Friday by not waiting around for Liriano to get into a rhythm. St. Louis used a three-run first inning to put the Pirates in a quick hole then held on as Joe Kelly (1-0) shook off some rust in his first start of the season. The right-hander worked 5 1-3 innings, walking four and striking out four. "I made some good pitches when I had to but I struggled a little with my command from time to time," Kelly said. "It seemed like when I really needed to make a pitch I was able to do it and avoid getting into big trouble." The Pirates had their chances. They loaded the bases in the third but managed only a single run when Kelly walked Russell Martin. Pittsburgh left 11 runners on base, including seven in the first four innings. "We had opportunities to cash in and we werent able to do it," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said hours after agreeing to a contract extension that will keep him in Pittsburgh through at least 2017. St. Louis reliever Carlos Martinez, who typically works the eighth inning, replaced Kelly with two on and one out in the sixth and retired Starling Marte and Travis Snider on groundouts to end the threat. "It was a part of the game where it could have gone in a different direction fast," St. LLouis manager Mike Matheny said. Florida Panthers Shirts . "Carlos came out and did exactly what we needed him to do." Liriano, who struck out 10 in six innings on opening day against the Cubs, settled down after initial command issues. He surrendered four runs on seven hits in six innings, walking two and striking out four. "Theyve got some good hitters and they hit some good pitches down and I made a couple of mistakes too," Liriano said after falling to 9-2 in his career at PNC Park. "Thats part of the game. Just one of those nights." It wasnt exactly a repeat of the last time Liriano faced St. Louis, when he held the Cardinals in check in Game 3 of the NL division series to give the Pirates a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series. St. Louis rallied to take the series in five games and six months later it appears the clubs that finished one-two in the NL Central remain evenly matched. The teams have now split the last 26 meetings. For once, however, the Cardinals got the best of Pittsburghs ace by not messing around while he dealt with location issues in the first. Matt Carpenter led off with a single. Peralta walked and Matt Holliday followed with an RBI single to right. Peralta scored on a sacrifice fly by Allen Craig, with Holliday scoring on a perfectly placed single to left by Matt Adams. Molina provided insurance with a homer to right and Peraltas second home run with the Cardinals slipped inside the left field foul pole against Pittsburgh reliever Jeanmar Gomez in the ninth. That was more than enough for a bullpen that didnt surrender a hit in 3 2-3 innings of work. NOTES: Marte went 1 for 5 and has reached base in each of his 17 career games against St. Louis. ... St. Louis reliever Jason Motte, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, participated in a simulated game in Florida on Saturday. Matheny said the team doesnt have a pre-determined role set for Motte, who saved 42 games in 2012 before the injury. ... The series concludes on Sunday when Adam Wainwright (1-0, 0.00) is set to go for St. Louis against Edinson Volquez (0-0, 0.00), who pitched two innings of relief in a loss to the Cubs on Thursday.

A delightful combination of a sweet couple, their dog and an urban backdrop make this one splendid engagement session. The lovebirds began their session at the I Like You store and ventured to the Stone Arch Bridge. This sweet Minneapolis engagement session was captured by Joan Brochman Photography.
From the Photographer: Brenda and Robbie are the sweetest couple. They are so much in love! They brought their dog Denny with for the engagement session.

Eddy Arnold, né Richard Edward Arnold le  à Henderson (Tennessee, États-Unis) et mort le  à Nashville (Tennessee), est un chanteur musique country américain.

Débuts
Eddie Arnold perdit très tôt son père et la ferme familiale ; il décida à l'âge de 18 ans de quitter le foyer familial. L'année de ces 18 ans, en 1936, il obtint son premier passage à l'antenne, mais n'obtint la reconnaissance qu'au terme de la formation de son premier groupe : Pee Wee King band. Il épousa Sally Gayhart en novembre 1942, abandonna son groupe pour une carrière solo en 1943 grâce à l'émission radio Grand Ole Opry, signa chez RCA Victor et sortit son premier disque en décembre 1944. Ses premiers enregistrements se sont bien vendus, et son premier grand titre parut en 1946 : That's How Much I Love You. Comme il en était d'usage à cette époque, il prit un sobriquet : « The Tennessee Plowboy ». Thomas Andrew Parker dit « Le Colonel » devint son impresario, et Arnold domina la scène country. À partir de 1947-48, il eut 13 chansons dans les 20 chansons les plus vendues des États-Unis. Il devint un invité régulier du programme Opry and of Mutual's Checkerboard Jamboree, enregistré depuis une scène de Nashville. De plus en plus exposé à partir de 1948, année de son départ du Grand Ole Opry, il fit des apparitions pour la Columbia dans les films Feudin' Rhythm en 1949 et Hoedown en 1950. Il devint une des figures qui a marqué la transition de la radio à la télévision du public des années 1950, eut son propre show télévisé (The Eddy Arnold Show) diffusé sur tous les réseaux existants, remplaçant les shows d'été de Perry Como ou Dinah Shore). Il fut également un invité régulier du Ozark Jubilee Show sur ABC-TV.

À partir de 1960-1961, il présenta Today on the Farm pour la NBC-TV, tandis que sa série Eddy Arnold Time ne rencontra pas le succès escompté. En 1955, Arnold contraria très fortement l'establishment de la Country en enregistrant avec l'Orchestre de Hugo Winterhalter de New York, mais ses arrangements populaires des chansons Cattle Call et The Richest Man (in the World) lui valurent malgré tout une certaine reconnaissance, un certain respect. Il vit ses ventes baisser à l'avènement des premiers disques de rock and roll, et décida avec raison de viser un plus grand public, expérience réussie grâce entre autres à son proche collaborateur chez RCA Victor, Jim Reeves. Par l'ajout d'Instruments à cordes et par une importance marquée pour un chant soutenu par un chœur, il crée le style appelé et reconnu depuis sous le nom de Nashville Sound.

Le son venu de Nashville
Jerry Purcell, son manager à partir de 1964, ouvre à Eddy Arnold un second volet de sa carrière qui surpassera le premier en succès, et rendra possible l'ambition de son artiste : diversifier son public et ouvrir sa musique à un plus large nombre de personnes. Son interprétation de Make the World Go Away, dirigée par le producteur Chet Atkins, les représentations en compagnie des Anita Kerr Singers et la collaboration du pianiste Floyd Cramer, valurent à Eddy Arnold un succès international auprès des admirateurs de Country autant que de musique populaire. Eddy fit des représentations avec orchestre symphonique à New York, fit deux concerts au Carnegie Hall, fit des apparitions pour Hollywood et de longs contrats à Las Vegas et Lake Tahoe joués à guichets fermés.

Arnold fut le plus jeune artiste introduit au Country Music Hall of Fame (en 1966) et fut honoré une seconde fois par le monde de l'industrie Country comme le Premier et meilleur animateur. En 1969 il sortit son autobiographie It's A Long Way From Chester County (Old Tappan, N.J.: Hewitt House; 154 pages dans l'édition originale).

Après avoir travaillé pour RCA Victor pendant plus de 20 ans, Arnold signa chez MGM Records dans les années 1970, sortant quatre albums, et des chansons qui se classèrent dans les hits du Top 40, ou même le Top 20 en 1974 avec I Wish That I Had Loved You Better. Il revint vers RCA Victor pour y signer l'album Eddy et connaître un nouveau succès, commençant avec la chanson Cowboy, dans un style qui a fait sa renommée et son succès. En 1985, Arnold reçut l'Academy of Country Music's Pioneer Award. Il se tint éloigné de la scène après quelques albums supplémentaires pour RCA, et, signé chez Curb, ne se représenta plus qu'occasionnellement. Il annonça sa retraite officielle et définitive lors de son dernier concert à l'Hôtel Orleans de Las Vegas le . En 2005 sortit son dernier album After All These Years, année où on lui décerna un Lifetime Achievement Award en 2005, récompense pour l'ensemble de son œuvre et sa carrière. Arnold fut inscrit au Grammy Hall of Fame en 1999 et obtint son étoile au Hollywood Walk of Fame (au 6775 Hollywood Blvd.)

Welsh rarebit properly roasted
tags: 6 nations, barbados, chris gayle, kensington oval, wales v england
Surreal was the only word for it. We watched England versus Wales 6 Nations rugby match at Bert's Bar in downtown Bridgetown, Barbados surrounded by a scrum (did you see what I did there) of other Brits, most of whom, rather gratifyingly due to the result, seemed to be Welsh. It was never certain until about 3 minutes from the start that we would get to see the game. ESPN2, one of the sports channels available courtesy of Bert, had advertised that they were showing the match earlier in the week, but their on-screen schedules were saying something different by the time we had ordered the first Bloody Mary's of the day. Much discussion between the gathered visiting inhabitants of the UK and the bar staff ensued, and they (the bar staff) were convinced that it would be broadcast. The TV guide for the hour before the scheduled start said that they would be covering football, but it was actually broadcasting basketball, so in a typically West Indian way there was still hope. The first pictures from Twickenham, 3 minutes before the start, were greeted by a huge cheer by the assembled multitude, which had grown to about 60 people. As I have said before about the Caribbean, it is brilliant utter chaos but they somehow get it right in the end.
View from the Kensington Oval
After watching England dominate our daffodil and sheep loving friends on the rugby pitch whilst seated in a tropical paradise, it was off to something less that sporting paradise, the Kensington Oval, to watch a dismal England performance in the cricket. There was nothing wrong with the venue or the weather, the fault lies with the English cricket team. The high spot for me was watching the great West Indian batsman Chris Galye hit the biggest six I ever seen, going clear out of the ground over the stand. The six he had hit a few overs earlier landed in the top stands where we were watching and was caught by one of the locals! He only just beat me too it.
A ragga/salsa sound stage had been set up in the car park of the West Indies cricket museum across for the ground after the game had ended, but after one beer there, the "Trouble" team, containing but two Currencies Direct clients, conclusion was that we were a little jaded, a little hot and sweaty and needed to regroup.
A short siesta completed, we had a chance to try out the various new ingredients that seemed to be required to make Caribbean rum punch. I found 12 different recipes within a few seconds on Google, so it seems as long as you have rum and a few types of fruit juice, a sweet base, loads of ice and some nutmeg, you are there. It also helps to have dedicated team of run punch creating learners in-house. You will not be surprised to discover that the in charge of the manufacture was Rachael, "Lady in Waiting" Surtees who carries with her at all times a bottle of gin and her own extra hot chillies. I am sure it was she who misunderstood the fine balance required between the rum and the sweetness, so overdid the rum, and I am certain that this put paid to any ideas about going out to eat last evening. I think the precise time when that decision was made can be defined. It was when it was suggested that rather than go out and risk a local alternative, we should stay in and eat Welsh Rarebit at the fabulous Villa Cornucopia rather than venture out into the Bajan night. The opportunity to roast the Welsh one more time proved irresistible.

AsTeam trouble began feeling ropier,
It was clear no idea would be dopier,
Than heading for town",
So instead they sat down,
To a snack at the old Cornucopia !
As they 'rose' to the challenge immense,
St. George said "Now dragon get hence,
Your forwards are 'di'-re,
Your 'bach's' all lack fire,
And there's 'leeks' in your d'red'ful defence !!
howzaaat permalink
Ha-hah, Rev ! Simply wonderful — I see that your mind is as fertile as other bits of you !! It wouldn't be remotely possible to pack more puns together in five lines than you have achieved there… From English roses and Welch dragons and patron saints for BOTH sides, Dai Bach is there too, Wales national colour and emblem and all cached in a fair description of how Wales played. Brilliant — just brilliant ! I take my hat off to you…
