Standout Cardinal lineman in running for state's top honor December 2
Posted on November 27, 2013 by Thomas Sellers
The football career of Charles Mosley has loomed large over the field and history books of Brighton.
The 6-foot, 6-inch, well over 300 pound lineman has dominated the middle of the Cardinal defensive line helping to shut down opposing offenses. In the process, Brighton has reached the postseason all three varsity seasons for Mosley including winning the 2013 District 13-3A championship.
With all the team success and impressive play of Mosley, several major colleges have offered the Brighton standout. And the Cardinal senior has racked up many awards and honors. The latest in that line of accomplishments is being Brighton High School's first player to be nominated for a Mr. Football Award.
"I just feel blessed," Mosley said. "That was one of the things I always wanted to be — Mr. Football. Dec. 2, I'm going to see if I won it or not.
"I'm just thankful," he added. "I just want to go out here and be a team player. All the success I'm receiving, I'm just happy my teammates get to see everything and be a part of this with me. It's all just a blessing."
Mosley and members of the Brighton Football program including Head Coach Will Wolfe will attend the Tennessee Titans Mr. Football Awards banquet Dec. 2 at the Embassy Suites Hotel and Conference Center in Murfreesboro. Mosley is nominated along with Dylan Jackson (Maryville) and Jack Jones (Oakland) for the Division Class 3A Lineman award.
The Tennessee Titans Mr. Football Awards will be presented to the top 10 backs and linemen in five classifications of the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association. The top kicker in the state will also be honored.
A committee of statewide sports writers selected winners based on performance in the 2013 regular season. Academics and character were also taken into consideration. High school head coaches and members of the media nominated the finalists.
This is the 28th year that the Mr. Football Awards have been presented to Tennessee's top prep football players. Plaques will be presented to 22 other finalists.
Mosley said being nominated is already an honor. Back in August Mosley had thoughts of traveling to the middle of the state in December to pick up another kind of trophy.
But the dream of winning the Class 6A State championship came to an end in the first round of the playoffs in a thrilling defeat to Memphis Central. Although the Cardinals' season has an early end, Mosley said Brighton Football is not a proven product since the graduation of the Class of 2012.
"Everybody always doubts Brighton especially after Ricky (Foster) and those guys left," he said. "I feel like Coach Wolfe did a great job with us keeping us motivated. We worked hard for everything and I just wanted to be a team player and help my team win. That's what it's all about, the team winning."
Mosley played along side the likes of Foster, Rujon Glass, Chris Coleman and Zach Rogowski as sophomore. Then his junior season he helped the likes of Antonio Dickerson, Brady Stewart and Artez Harris keep the winning traditions going at Brighton. This past season Mosley was one of the leaders of the Cardinals.
"We had a lot of young guys," he noted. "They weren't used to being under the Friday night lights. They were on the sideline with us but weren't used to being on the field having to be playmakers. I had to step up and lead them because I've had the opportunity since I was a sophomore.
"So I had to step up and help lead them," Mosley added. "I had to calm them down on the field and tell them, 'Do your best and do what you know what to do. It will come natural.'"
Since he was in the fifth grade, Mosley has been using his natural gifts to be a force on the field. Now the college-football recruiting world awaits his decision of where he will play. But as Mosley prays on his choice, he said he will enjoy all the honors and designation like being Brighton's first Mr. Football nominee.
"It just adds on to the list," he concluded, "every SEC offer I've received, playing in All-American games. I just got Defensive Player of the Week from the Touchdown Club in Memphis. Now I'm nominated for Mr. Football, I'm just happy. I'm making my Mama proud."
Mike Keith, play-by-play voice of the Tennessee Titans, will emcee the awards presentation. A live video-stream of the awards will be provided for free by the NFHS Network. Those interested can watch the awards by going to www.TSSAANetwork.com.

With the Kalorik Gravity Salt and Pepper Grinders it doesn't get any easier: tilt the grinders over the pot and it does it all by itself.
How to season with one hand busy stirring the pot? Every chef knows the dilemma.

Filled with advice for the home gardener and the more seasoned horticulturist alike, The Seed Garden: The Art and Practice of Seed Saving provides straightforward instruction on collecting seed that is true-to-type and ready for sowing in next year's garden. In this comprehensive book, Seed Savers Exchange, one of the foremost American authorities on the subject, and the Organic Seed Alliance bring together decades of knowledge to demystify the time-honored tradition of saving the seed of more than seventy-five coveted vegetable and herb crops—from heirloom tomatoes and long-favored varieties of beans, lettuces, and cabbages to centuries-old varieties of peppers and grains.
With clear instructions, lush photographs, and easy-to-comprehend profiles on individual vegetable crops, this book not only teaches us how to go about conserving these important varieties for future generations and for planting out in next year's garden, it also provides a deeper understanding of the importance of saving these genetically valuable varieties of vegetables that have evolved over the centuries through careful selection by farmers and home gardeners.
Through simple lessons and master classes on crop selection, pollination, roguing, and the processes of harvesting and storing seeds, this book ensures that these time-honored traditions can continue. Many of these vegetable varieties are treasured for traits that are singular to their strain, whether that is a resistance to disease, an ability to grow well in a region for which that crop is not typically well suited, resistance to early bolting, or simply because it is a great-tasting variety. In an age of genetically modified crops and hybrid seed, a growing appreciation for saving seeds of these time-tested, open-pollinated cultivars has found a new audience from home vegetable gardeners and cooks to restaurant chefs and local farmers.
Whether interested in simply saving seeds for home use or working to conserve rare varieties of beloved squashes and tomatoes, this book provides a deeper understanding of the art, the science, and the joy of saving seeds.


When worldly prophets infiltrate the church it's deadly. And when the church's prophets infiltrate the world it's deadly. Yet in both cases it's the Christians who are in danger. The sheep are in danger at home and in danger abroad. There are wolves in the fold and wolves in the world. Nonetheless Jesus sends forth the sheep.
But He's going to warn them in advance. No soldier should enter battle unaware of the perils. No-one ever heard of a soldier shrieking, "They're shooting at me! I can't believe they're shooting at me!" Yet many Christians go forth as messengers of Jesus and are mortified that opposition comes their way.
Jesus does not want us to be unprepared. And so His image is even more graphic than warfare. He asks the disciples to imagine some sheep trotting through the midst of a pack of wolves. That is mission according to Jesus.
Sheep in the midst of wolves means hatred, slander, betrayal, scourging, arrests and death. Those "sent forth" in mission risk their reputations, their freedom, their families, their health and their very lives.
In other words they are bringing good news, healing and restoration to all that they meet. For this they are met with defamation, disgust, detention and death.
Jesus – the Sender – has Himself been sent forth. The Master of mission knows what mission is. He is the original Sheep among wolves. He was the innocent Lamb of God sent forth amongst a whole world that tore Him apart. And what did He do to deserve it? He simply preached and procured salvation for the world. And the world killed Him for it. Jesus endured the ultimate hatred, slander, betrayal, scourging, arrest and death. He did not merely risk His reputation, freedom, family, health and life – He gave them all up. He was a helpless Sheep devoured by ravenous wolves.
So when Jesus "sends forth" He does not do it from a distance. He is the Suffering Sent One. Therefore when He calls "unto Himself" (v1) He cannot help "sending forth" (v16). And when He sends forth, it's actually a call to "follow after me" (v35). To be with Jesus is to go out in His name. To come to Christ is to share in His missionary sufferings.

Taking the CTA to United Center, Chicago
I'm planning a trip to Chicago to attend a Blackhawks game at the United Center. It's my first time to Chicago, so I'm curious how the best way to get to the stadium. I've noticed there is parking, but it looks to be fairly limited, and I would like to limit the amount of driving I do in an unfamiliar city if at all possible. I noticed the CTA (Chicago's Subway/train) has stops that are near the stadium, and I was wondering if people use these? Are they too much of a walk, and are they in a fairly safe area?
public-transport safety sports-events chicago
JanceJance
What is safe to you? – JoErNanO♦ Mar 3 '15 at 17:02
Low crime area, decent lighting, decent number of people coming from the event, police presence, etc. – Jance Mar 3 '15 at 17:04
People use CTA trains and buses by the thousands for these games. Also if you do drive there are extra lots around but it will cost a ton. I wouldn't worry about the safety of the CTA but if you are, you can take a cab. – Brad Mar 4 '15 at 15:11
"Too much of a walk" and "fairly safe" are subjective; you'll find a mix of anecdotes.
Back in 2010, it was reported by a now-defunct blog that the (gentrifying) Near West Side was the most dangerous neighborhood in the entire United States; indeed
anyone walking down Lake Street between Damen and Western has a 1 in 4 chance of being a victim of a crime.
On the other hand, a (male) writer for Yahoo replies
[F]or years, I've worked in this area, and never once have I felt threatened.… [I] was always a bus rider in this area, clearly with a laptop in tow.… This is still an area you can trust, even if it means waiting for that Damen bus hours after the game ends.…
The original study, if it can be called that, was based in part on statistics available from NeighborhoodScout.com. The auto-populated narrative from a search on Damen & Madison reports that it is impoverished, but crime information is not available without a subscription. Simply being poor does not necessarily correspond to being dangerous. But that is often enough to make some people feel unsafe, so those people need read no further.
The blog The Itinerant Fan provides guides to various U.S. cities for visiting fans. Their guide to the United Center similarly concluded in March 2013 that it's "still not exactly an area you want to be caught in after dark if you don't know where you're going." So if you're skittish, fine, don't make the walk to the train station. Why stress yourself out?
The police presence in the area will be heavy on game days, but perhaps not why you think: you are probably more likely to see violence from other fans than you are from neighborhood hoodlums. People get drunk, Chicago fans are rather fanatical, and it only takes a few instigators to start brawling.
Now, CTA and the United Center provide different suggestions for public transportation options. The Take CTA to the Game page notes that the United Center is within just a few blocks of the Blue, Green, and Pink Lines, as well as the #9, 19, 20, 50, and 126 buses.
The United Center Directions & Parking page, however, suggests none of the train stations. The sole CTA connection recommended for game day is the the #19 United Center Express, which runs only on Bulls and Blackhawks game days and other special events as indicated on the linked web page.
Service begins 90 minutes prior to game time, runs every 10 minutes until 30 minutes until start of game. Board at stops starting southbound on Michigan and Randolph. Connections are made with Metra trains at Millennium Station, Ogilvie Center and Union Station. The #20 Madison Bus travels west on Madison Street, starting downtown at Wabash Street and runs every few minutes, making all stops to the United Center.
There is also a regular city bus serving that route, the #20 Madison line.
The interest of the United Center here is to get the fans in and out as quickly and easily as possible; the interest of the CTA is to get fans to use CTA services as much as possible. Given that, I would probably take the bus.
chosterchoster
CTA Takes you to United Center
It is indeed possible to reach United Center using the CTA. Here is a dedicated webpage from CTA themselves:
The stadium is just a few blocks north of the Illinois Medical District stop on the CTA Blue Line. The shortest walk is by exiting the station to Damen Avenue (western-most exit) and walk north on Damen to Madison.
Green and Pink Lines
The stadium is two blocks south and three blocks west of the Ashland/Lake stop on the CTA Green and Pink Lines.
Power to the Masses
In terms of safety, there are some mixed opinions on the web (here is one from yahoo answers). I would however assume that many people will be using public transport to move to/from the game. Hence you should be safe seeing as you will never be truly alone. Moreover you shouldn't be wondering around too much since your idea is to get to United Center, see the game, and go back home.
In particular, the dedicated express #19 bus seems to be very interesting to get to the game and back:
Service Description: For all Bulls and Blackhawks games and other selected events at United Center.
Buses operate from Michigan and Randolph every 10 minutes, starting 90 minutes before event, until start of event.
Buses operate south on Michigan and west on Madison when heading to United Center.
After event, buses operate every few minutes for up to one hour.
No stops are made between Halsted and United Center.
I emphasised the non-stop part, as fewer stops can indeed make the ride safer.
Private Shuttles to/from Restaurants and Bars
Another option could be using a dedicated (private) shuttle. Posts on tripadvisor forums suggest various restaurants offering such services to their patrons. Taking a random one from the list indeed shows the existence of such services.
JoErNanO♦JoErNanO
Just wanted to post a follow up for any other hockey fans (or basketball fans) who come across this.
I ended up driving to United, and as long as you get there an hour before the event, you should be fine with parking. I had been concerned with there being enough shuttle buses, but after we left the arena (we stayed around for a bit) there was still a line of buses waiting to pick people up and take them down to the loop. Not a lot of taxis though.
I can't speak for the subways, as I didn't go towards them, but it looked as though there were a few fans making their way that way. For the most part, seemed like the parking and buses were the most popular (but again, they are both doable).

During the summer of 2016 I embarked on the journey of a lifetime. I decided to expand my portfolio and study a subject with international implications. I wanted to find a subject that embodied my main passions for photography which are history, culture, and nature. After a few months of research I concluded that the St Kilda Archipelago located off the Western coast of the Scottish Hebrides was the best personification for what I envisioned in a subject. I coordinated with the National Trust of Scotland over the course of a year and they were generous enough to allow me to camp eight nights on the Isle of Hirta to complete my photo project.
Referred to as the edge of the world, St Kilda is made up of four islands and their adjacent sea stacks. Located about forty miles West of North Uist in the Outer Hebrides, the main island of Hirta is one of the most isolated Island's in the U.K. In 1986 the island became one of six World Heritage Sites in Scotland and during my trip in 2016 St Kilda was celebrating its 30th anniversary.
The archipelago is also one of thirty-nine locations in the world to be granted mixed World Heritage status for its natural and cultural significance. The islands are home to some of the highest sea cliffs in the U.K. and have some of the largest sea bird colonies in all of Europe.
The different isles of St Kilda are believed to have been occupied for over two millennia dating back to the Bronze Age. The St Kildan people were known for their climbing abilities and they would traverse the ridges of the islands to capture birds and eggs to feed the community. The population is said to have never exceeded 180 people and in 1930 the last inhabitants of the island were finally evacuated.
Many factors contributed to the eventual demise of the St Kildan population. These included the islands remote location, diseases, multiple crop failures in the 1920s, and soil contamination caused by their agricultural practices. In addition after World War One many of the men left the island leaving the population with just thirty-seven inhabitants in 1928. Today the island is owned and cared for by the National Trust for Scotland.

#FolkForChristmas the top 10 folk / acoustic / Americana albums of 2021 on Darren's Music Blog
December 11, 2021 Album reviews, Folk music#folkforchristmas, album review, Fine Lines, folk, Honey and the Bear, John Edwin, Màiri MacMillan, Milton Hide, Ninebarrow, Ronan Gallagher, Seth Lakeman, Sons of the Never Wrong, Steve Tyler, top tenDarren Johnson
The #FolkForChristmas hashtag came about last year as a means of supporting artists whose income had been hit by the impact of the pandemic, with people being encouraged to support independent artists and, in particular, order directly from them this Christmas rather than head off to Amazon. In putting this list of recommendations together I've again used the not exactly scientific method of ranking them in order according to the number of hits each of these reviews received on my website.
No. 1: Ninebarrow – A Pocket Full of Acorns
With a mix of original song-writing, covers, traditional numbers and musical adaptations of classic poetry, the duo apply their trademark harmonies to produce eleven tracks of exquisite contemporary folk. Highlights include the haunting but utterly beautiful 'Cold, Haily, Windy Night' a song about migration inspired by the scenes of destitution at the Calais refugee camp.
Full review here
No. 2: Steve Tyler -The Enduring and the Ephemeral
Steve Tyler is a renowned hurdy gurdy player and from early music to traditional folk to industrial electronica he is at home playing within a variety of genres. The Enduring and the Ephemeral, however, is Tyler's first album comprised fully of his own original material. The unique, utterly mesmerising sound of the hurdy gurdy takes centre-stage in this album of rich, layered, experimental prog-folk subtitled 'Hurdy gurdy based multitrack music for the end of time'.
No. 3: John Edwin & the Banjodasha Hillbillies – Divine Life of Punarvasu
Swedish singer-songwriter-instrumentalist, Peter Danielsson, had spent time on the road performing in a variety of different outfits. Around a decade ago he felt it was time to go solo and that a change in musical direction was in order. He bought himself a banjo, taught himself to play clawhammer (the distinctive banjo playing style common to a lot of old-time American music) and reinvented himself as bluegrass performer, John Edwin.
No. 4: Màiri MacMillan – Gu Deas
The themes range from mythical creatures to long lost love to banishment to battle laments. An especially poignant moment is at the end of the first song 'Wily Margaret' where a few verses from an original field recording of the song, now in the custody of National Trust for Scotland, are spliced into MacMillan's own version. A beautifully-made album that will find a suitable home with anyone who has a love for Gaelic songs and traditions.
No. 5: Milton Hide – Temperature's Rising
I've much enjoyed seeing this husband-and-wife acoustic duo, Jim and Josie Tipler, out on the live scene here in East Sussex on a number of occasions. Their thought-provoking, observational and often humorous self-written songs were always a treat to witness and it was a delight, therefore, to get my hands on their debut album.
No. 6: Seth Lakeman – Make Your Mark
The album is not a leap into the dark musically but from his early days as 'the poster boy of English folk' through to now, Seth Lakeman's albums have demonstrated a quality and consistency in delivering fine folk songs, superb musicianship and those instantly-recognisable vocals. Fans will not be disappointed.
No. 7: Sons of the Never Wrong – Undertaker's Songbook
Formed in Chicago almost thirty years ago Sons of the Never Wrong are an alt-folk trio with a signature sound of soaring harmonies and lush acoustic arrangements built around of thoughtful, witty song-writing. Their ninth studio album, Undertaker's Songbook is something of a celebratory release as the band approach their 30th anniversary.
No. 8: Fine Lines – Deadbeat Lullabies
Put together by singer-songwriter David Boardman back in 2016 there's harmony vocals, exquisite pedal steel, infectious fiddle, great melodies and heartfelt lyrics. The song-writing is a joint endeavour between Boardman, who cooked up the tunes and the band's drummer, BBC presenter and all-round music maestro, Mark Radcliffe, who came up with the lyrics. Radcliffe proves himself to be a talented lyricist. His observational storytelling perfectly captures the overall mood that the album evokes.
No. 9: Ronan Gallagher – Time Waits For No One
Ronan Gallagher has the sort of rich, seasoned, easy-going vocal delivery that makes it sound like's he's been performing around the pubs and bars of Ireland for decades. Married to some irresistibly catchy melodies, some thoughtful every-man style lyrics and a great cast of supporting musicians who deliver a fine blend of Celtic-infused Americana, it's a sure-fire winner. Incredibly, however, Gallagher did not begin singing or learning to play the guitar until just over five years ago.
No. 10: Honey and The Bear – Journey Through The Roke

Americana: album review – John Edwin & the Banjodasha Hillbillies 'Divine Life of Punarvasu'
January 12, 2021 Album reviews, Folk musicalbum review, americana, Banjodasha Hillbillies, bluegrass, country, folk, John EdwinDarren Johnson
As well as old-time standards he also began introducing more of his own material into his live act and, over time, he'd picked up a group of collaborators and reinvented himself once more, now as frontman of John Edwin & the Banjodasha Hillbillies playing a new country/folk sound based on fretless banjo and electric guitar.
Divine Life of Punarvasu is the outfit's debut album, showcasing eleven original songs written by John Edwin (Peter Danielsson). Irresistibly catchy melodies, pleasing vocals and that distinctive trademark blend of fretless banjo and electric guitar serve to make this and instantly likeable album and one worthy of repeat playing.
Lyrically, the album explores decidedly the non-redneck themes of Vedic astrology and yoga philosophy but are delivered with a sincerity and down-at-home ease that effortlessly rolls with the music whatever your spiritual (or non-spiritual) leanings.
A highly enjoyable debut.
John Edwin & the Banjodasha Hillbillies are:
John Edwin alias Peter Danielsson: five string banjo, fretless banjo, vocals & acoustic guitar
Kenneth Bakkelund – electric guitars
Pedro Blom – Ukuele bass
Jörgen Andersson – snare drums
Released: 15th November 2020

AS a child growing up in China, Irene Yuan Sun had never even seen plastic wrapping (cling film) until 1980 when her father brought back a whole suitcase full from Japan, presenting it proudly to friends and colleagues at work as gifts. Plastic wrapping transformed Chinese diets since it opened a new era of safety in food preparation and storage.
Irene Yuan Sun used this story to illustrate the sheer speed of industrialisation and its critical role in economic development, since plastic wrapping is now primarily manufactured in China, and its use is taken for granted in Chinese kitchens.
Irene Yuan Sun, Associate Partner at McKinsey & Company, and lead author of "Dance of the Lions & Dragons", McKinsey's report on the Africa-China economic relationship, gave this illustration at a seminar hosted by the African Development Institute (ECAD), the Industrial and Trade Development Department (PITD), and the Agricultural Finance & Rural Development Department (AHFR) of the African Development Bank at the Bank's headquarters on February 8.
The similarities between the recent Chinese economic development experience and the current development challenge in Africa are crucial to understanding Chinese economic engagement in Africa, said Yuan Sun.
Irene Yuan Sun argues that Africa can quickly industrialise in the coming generation, and explains that the reason why the Chinese are heavily involved in African economic development is because they are convinced of the profitability of infrastructure and industrial investments, believing that Africa is following the Chinese model for achieving wealth and economic success.
She pointed out that 90 percent of the Chinese investment in Africa is funded by the Chinese private sector, and insisted that only infrastructural, industrial and manufacturing investment can assure full economic transformation for Africa, as it has done so in record time for China.

Q: Activate Used iPhone 4 If I were to buy a used iPhone 4 (e.g. from eBay), which carrier(s) would allow me to activate it without a contract?  Is there an activation fee?  Anything else I should be aware of?
UPDATE:
It seems there is less knowledge as to what Verizon's policy is, and as luck would have it they're my current provider.  I would like to know what their policies are also, if anyone happens to know.

A: So long as it's an unlocked iPhone, you can use any SIM card to activate the unit. It doesn't actually have to have a plan attached to it. I'm not aware of any carrier on the world that only supplies contracts and foregoes monthly plans, so there should be no issue with your carrier of choice. Contacting Verizon is a wise idea with respect to their policies, as without further details your question is pretty broad.

A: You want the SIM card that activates that device as an iPod. The owner can remove that from his plan so it will never be used again with a carrier but will allow you to restore and use the phone as an iOS device until you get your own SIM card.
I don't know about the verizon phones, but jailbroken AT&T ones are working fine these days with prepaid SIM and you of course will be welcome to join AT&T with their standard iPhone plans and rates if you don't want to deal with jailbreaking.

A: You can take the phone to any AT&T store and they will give you a new SIM card and create a new account or change the phone if you already have an account. You are not on a contract with AT&T because you did not buy the phone at a subsidized price by them. There is an activation fee, but if you call AT&T Customer Service, they can remove that for you. AFAIK, this only works with AT&T as I have personally done that, for Verizon it might work differently.

St Austell Brewery raises more than £1,500 for UK hospitality workers
By Paul Armstrong
St Austell Brewery raised £1,500 for hospitality workers. Picture ELLIOTT WHITE
St Austell Brewery has raised £1,534 for hospitality workers in the UK - whose livelihoods have been hit the hardest by Covid-19 - as part of a wider campaign spearheaded by Hospitality Action.
The proceeds have been donated to Hospitality Action's Invisible Chips campaign - an initiative that, through a quirky addition to menus, encourages the public to support hospitality workers that are in desperate need of financial aid.
Since early December, St Austell Brewery has offered 'Invisible Chips' as part of its winter menu. Each customer that purchased a portion of the charitable side dish generously contributed £2 to the fund.
The latest national lockdown restrictions come as a renewed blow to the hospitality sector, as pubs, cafes, hotels, and restaurants once again close their doors.
Hospitality Action continues to generate support through Invisible Chips and has received backing from the likes of Heston Blumenthal, Tom Kerridge, and Fred Sirieix.
Steve Worrall, Managing Director of St Austell Brewery's Pubs, Inns & Hotels, said: "We're proud to support Hospitality Action's Invisible Chips campaign – 0% fat, 100% hospitality. It's a simple way for people to donate and help those who work in hospitality, who are the worst affected by the Covid crisis.
"Invisible Chips appeared on all of our managed house menus for £2, prior to closing our pubs for the national lockdown. All proceeds raised have been donated to Hospitality Action. We'd like to thank all our customers who have 'chipped in' so far, to save livelihoods across the UK during these difficult times. We'll continue to champion the campaign when our pubs reopen, to support the hospitality workers who make our sector so wonderful."
Nicola Phillips, Business Development Manager, Hospitality Action said: "The Hospitality Action team are thrilled and truly grateful to the customers of St Austell for supporting the Campaign. These donations really are serving as lifelines to the hospitality people that we are able to support."

At Whit's End
"Fame can never make us lie down contentedly on a deathbed."
— Alexander Pope, 1713
On the Monday following the death of pop music diva Whitney Houston, I was approached by a young woman who inquired whether I had heard that Ms. Houston had died. I replied in the affirmative and, miraculously, somehow managed to refrain from saying something like, "Why are you surprised at the 'sudden' death of a person who had abused drugs for decades?" I am glad that I held my sarcasm in check because the woman then said that the news was so upsetting that "she cried all weekend."
I was stunned into silence and could only nod. At the risk of sounding callous, the demise of Ms. Houston barely rippled the surface of my consciousness. While I admit that I liked a few of the songs that she released in the 1980s and 1990s, for some time Whitney Houston had been little more to me than another pampered, drug-addled celebrity whose career had seen better days. Her marriage to Bobby Brown and their reality television show did nothing to improve her image n my eyes. Of course, none of this matters to the people who loved her before she became a star and, perhaps, in spite of her fame. Their grief is real and deserves more respect than a soundbite on tabloid TV shows.
Perhaps we are too quick to accept the mortal departure of singers, musicians, comedians, actors, and other people who entertain us. Do we expect — indeed, demand — that these individuals burn out in tragically spectacular fashion? There are, of course, those stars who dance close to the line of self-destruction and are fortunate enough not to tumble irrevocably into oblivion. (Yes, Robert Downey, Jr., I am talking about you. And yes, I am eagerly awaiting the Avengers movie later this year.) Redemption is big business, and always has been, especially in America. Martin Luther understood that; and the rest is history.
The loss of Ms. Houston reminds us that prodigious talent often cannot shield those who possess it from the devastation of personal demons or bad choices. To be sure, we mere mortals who cannot sing, act, or do anything else worthy of the blinding light of fame have many of the same burdens. And with any luck, our secrets and slip-ups will never be the lead stories on the evening news or TMZ.

Colombo, Feb 13 (IANS) Sri Lanka's navy detained 29 Indian fishermen Thursday as tension continues to brew between the two countries over poaching, an official said.
The 29 fishermen and seven boats were noticed by the navy while on routine patrol and they were escorted to the northern part of Sri Lanka and handed over to the police, Xinhua quoted navy spokesman Kosala Warankulasooriya as telling reporters.
"The fishermen were engaged in fishing in Sri Lanka's territorial waters using methods that are banned by local law," he added.
The arrests come as fishermen in Sri Lanka's Northern Province issued a deadline to local and Indian fishermen to stop using illegal fishing methods in the island's territorial waters.
The Jaffna Fishermen's Federation issued a warning to Indian and local fishermen, asking them to stop using fishing methods that are prohibited in the Northern waters from Feb 15.
Federation president A. Emiliyampillai was quoted by local media as saying that the decision was taken in order to preserve the marine diversity in the Northern waters from the area surrounding Chundikulai in the northeastern part of the Jaffna peninsula up to the Delft Island.
He explained that bottom trawlers and other types of fishing gear like purse seine nets have been prohibited to safeguard the marine resources in the waters.
He added that Indian trawlers remained a big challenge to the Northern fishermen since they violate whatever decisions had been taken to prevent the infiltration of Indian boats into Sri Lankan waters.
Sri Lanka and India have long-standing issues over fishermen from both countries illegally crossing over to the other's maritime waters and poaching.
Just last month the two sides exchanged over 400 fishermen detained by each other after high-level talks to resolve the issue of illegal fishing.
Sri Lankan fishermen have alleged that illegal fishing methods are destroying the seabed in the Palk Strait that is shared by local and Indian fishermen.
The Indian government during talks in January agreed to assist in ending illegal fishing practices.

A strawberry costume is a charming idea for Halloween. It is a sweet outfit that makes the fruit trend wearable for parties and events. This strawberry costume requires basic supplies and zero sewing skills.
Black construction paper can be used in place of card stock.
Cut out a seed shape from the cardboard. A seed shape is an oval that is pointed at the top end. The cardboard seed will be your pattern.
Draw a seed shape on the cardboard before cutting. This drawing can act as a cutting guide.
Using the white chalk pencil, trace the cardboard seed onto the black paper.
Rotate the cardboard seed 180 degrees each time you trace it. This will interlock the shapes, allowing the greatest number of seeds to fit on the card stock.
Cut along the white outline to cut out the black seeds.
Hot glue 20-25 paper seeds on the front of the dress. Repeat on the back side.
Don't think too much about the placement of each seed. Remember, the seeds on a real strawberry are scattered randomly.
Be cautious when using hot glue. The glue is extremely hot when it is first leaves the hot glue gun. Never touch hot glue until it has completely dried.
Cut three strands of wire measuring 9 inches each. The wire strands should fit the 9-inch span of the felt. Then, place the wires on top of the felt, spacing them out evenly.
Hot glue the wire to the felt.
Repeat with the remaining wire.
Don't worry if the glue looks messy. It will be covered up and will not be visible in the finished project.
Apply another line of glue along one wire. Place the second sheet of felt on top, making sure to line up the edges.
Repeat with the remaining two wires, one by one.
Press down to secure and make sure the wire does not move.
Choose a strand of wire to start with. Find it in between the felt sheets. Starting at the bottom end of the wire, cut across the 9-inch span of felt. The cut should be a curved line that ends right next to the top end of the wire.
Each strand of wire runs down the center of each leaf. Use the wire as a guide when cutting the felt.
Cut across the left side of the wire.
Repeat with the two remaining strands of wire.
Lay the beanie on a flat surface. Place the three leaves on top, tilting the left and right leaves outwards.
Hot glue the leaves in place.
Wear the beanie and dress together to complete the final look.


Like many other females, I absolutely love Waterproof Boot. My closet, however, is filled with 70% boots. During my last shopping escapade, I bumped into my brother who apparently was also going to shop for boots. Being as curious as I am, I decided to tag along and see what men look for in regard to boots and maybe get a few more insights on the unchartered area.

The rubber sole maintains a firm hold on the surface whereas the nylon mesh lining improves air circulation for added comfort.
The boots are made with oil resistance, preventing the outer sole from oil absorption.
These particular boots are brown in color.
I got to know about these waterproof boots because of my brother. He has the Skechers USA Men's Verdict Waterproof Boots, in almost every color that they come in. He is most certainly the only other person, besides me, that is that much into foot ware.
He loves the fact that they have a wide fit, and they are extremely comfortable due to their padded collar addition. The laced fronts make this waterproof boots perfect and highly durable.

But Mueller did not give details of how the company will cut costs. Analysts say the company must cut its bloated workforce to operate as efficiently as its main competitors. That is extremely difficult at Volkswagen because of the exceptional power of worker representatives to set company policy.
Because of its high costs, Volkswagen earns almost no money selling cars with the VW badge. Most of its profit comes from the Audi and Porsche luxury car units, which are able to command a higher margin. And profit companywide has been declining, falling 19 percent in the first quarter to 2.4 billion euros, or $2.7 billion.
Even before the emissions scandal, Volkswagen struggled to contain costs that were much higher than those of its rivals. With about 610,000 employees, Volkswagen produces about the same number of vehicles as Toyota, which has 344,000 workers.
But it is a challenge for Volkswagen to reduce its workforce, largely because of the exceptional power of labor representatives: Under a 1960 law in Germany that applies only to Volkswagen, workers can veto plant closings and other changes.
The carmaker's employees also have a de facto majority on Volkswagen's supervisory board, which oversees top management. Ten of the 20 members of the board are employee representatives, in accordance with German laws that apply to all companies.

If you reside in a warmer climate, perhaps you've questioned if improving your indoor air ventilation is actually energy efficient. After all, it's costly keeping your home cool. If you properly ventilate, you may bring some of that heat back in the house, making your HVAC system work overtime and increasing your energy bill. Well, you'll be glad to know that you can have your triple-layer chocolate cake AND eat it too… with an energy recovery ventilator.
In various ways, it's just like the Heat Recovery Ventilator: two fans drive the air in and out of your home, bringing fresh air in, while eliminating stale air. But unlike the heat recovery ventilator, energy recovery ventilators transfer heat back out of the house. Not only is the heat transferred, but water vapor is also, removing a lot of incoming humidity.
Your home now has controlled ventilation that has high energy efficiency. Energy recovery ventilators are suitable for warmer climates. They're also ideal for newer or remodeled homes that tend to be more energy efficient, and are likely sealed more tightly, leading to inadequate airflow. If you want to avoid pockets of stale and/or contaminated air, you may want to research options for an energy recovery ventilator for your Hillsborough area home.
Call Fras-Air/General Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning in Hillsborough today. Our experts will keep you cool when you need it most, saving you money, and improving your indoor air quality. We provide quality equipment choices, knowledge and expert service—for all makes and models, 24 hours a day. 908-448-2154.

← "Power Up" – A new social network?
After a very long break, I am back! Thanks for continuing to visit PixelBallads and holding the fort. Your readership and comments are very much appreciated.
To continue with my quest to find more uses of mobile technology that helps create broad social impact, here's another one – m-Gov!
In the universe of acronyms in the business world, there are those that are very vertical specific (and even archaic) and those that are so common that it transcends to our everyday lives. Acronyms such as B2B and B2C are those that most industry verticals cater to in more ways than one – hence what they imply are broadly understood. Then, there are those that vertical specific – For example, the telecom folks have acronyms such as GSM/CDMA/LTE/VoIP/OTT/HLR etc that may not be relevant to other verticals such as finance where acronyms such as RIA/FINRA/SEC/EBIT/ROIC/AP-AR/PER etc are more rife.
That said, I have been seeing more of the following acronyms – B2G (Business to Government), G2B and more importantly G2C (Government to Citizen). In most nations, the government plays a very important role in the economy of their nations. Among other aspects, they help grease their nations commercial wheels by spending tax money. Social programs notwithstanding, tax revenue is spent very broadly for procurement (government buying). And as a direct consequence of this action, many firms have SBUs (Strategic Business Units) that just focus on bidding for government work. At a very high level, by doing this, governments essentially move tax revenues downstream, helping circulate money. This is the domain of B2G or G2B or even G2G (Federal to state/local).
Tax revenue/citizen-contributions are also used to provide services to the general population by means of social programs/initiatives and/or services. This is the domain of G2C initiatives. I am well aware that I have oversimplified a lot of aspects, but the point I want to bring to the fore is the fact that governments are now looking at innovative solutions to deploy their services to their citizens. And , to no surprise, more and more governments are now leveraging mobile technology to deploy key services. These G2C initiatives are known as m-Gov in the mobile world.
Examples of m-Gov initiatives are abound. It is certainly fascinating. In more ways than one, mobile technology is helping democratize services.
In Bangladesh, students can apply for their university examinations through SMS, reducing the need for travel and standing in long queues.
Again, in Bangladesh, the government introduced a system called e-Purjee that sent a SMS message to sugarcane farmers telling them when to bring in their crop for processing. This allowed the government to optimize the process of collecting sugarcane from the producers and batching it for processing as opposed to warehousing produce creating inefficiencies and waste. Using SMS, the government also intimated to farmers as to when their payments were ready – allowing farmers to plan their time accordingly. Per the World Bank, this initiative directly resulted in an increase in sugar production by ~62%. I love the e-Purjee logo…notice how they incorporate sugarcane in to the logo..
In India, in Kerala state (South-West India), the state government has enabled the creation of a unified platform called SDP (Services Delivery Platform), that integrates voice, data and SMS. SDP was established under the auspices of KSITM (Kerala State IT Mission) with the goal of providing citizens with a service oriented and equitable mobile platform that can work with any carrier. Citizens can use this service to interact with either provincial or the state government for aspects such as crime reporting, local voting, purchasing transportation tickets etc. On the other hand, the government can use the SDP to make important announcements such as publish locations of free healthcare camps or locations of subsidized food distribution centers or publish examination scores etc. The platform is unique in that it cuts across various state departments allowing for a unified approach in interacting with the population as opposed to each department having their own system. This allows for efficiencies that are scalable and cost-effective. It must be noted that SDP is spearheaded by a company called MobMe, a private mobile technology firm helping the Kerala government with this m-Gov initiative – tax revenue well spent, I guess!
In Kenya, "Ushahidi" is an open source platform that can be used by citizens to create an incident reporting system by crowdsourcing. Developed, in response to violence that erupted after the 2007 election, Ushahidi integrates multiple channels such as SMS, Twitter, email and the web. This integration allows for notated visualization of the data on a map. Ushahidi has been used to monitor elections, disaster recovery and crime reporting. Now this, in my mind, is not truly G2C but helps forms an important element or channel for the government to monitor to help get a real time picture on the ground as reported by its citizenry as opposed to government officials who at times can favorably or unfavorably muddle such reports.
In Malaysia, the government uses SMS to alert citizens about limited drinking water supplies or energy blackouts.
In Moldova, a small eastern-European country nestled between Romania and Ukraine, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industries, uses SMS (again) to transmit accurate weather information to farmers on hillsides where weather can change dramatically in short periods. This allowed for farmers to take precautionary measures to prevent crop damage.
Governments in many countries are improving employee accountability and efficiencies. In Auckland, New Zealand, a GPS-based handheld system allows the city to monitor its employees and resources. The city has reporting savings of more than 30 hours a week on highway maintenance work resulting in the city moving all its maintenance management to a mobile GPS system.
In Liberia, the government is using mobile geo-tagging to better assess and manage the countries water resources and improve access to them. The public works ministry deployed data collectors to map all of its roughly 7,500 publicly accessible water points with a mobile geo-tagging and monitoring tool called FLOW (Field Level Operations Watch).
And these examples abound. While each government is choosing to the adoption of mobile technology to either directly serve its citizenry or improve government efficiencies in different ways, the one clear trend that is visible is the fact that m-Gov is here to stay. This is an evolutionary process with each government going about implementing m-Gov initiatives in ways that are conducive to the needs of the population.
Some of these initiatives are complex and there are risks. In my next post, I will cover some of risks and advantages of mobile G2C initiatives. Do you know of any such m-Gov programs? Feel free to share.

Thanks Melissa. Appreciate your comments. And yes, I recall that project.


People are invariably surprised by how delicious this dish is. I first tasted it at the home of my friend Claire, who was hosting a dinner for a large group of Master Food Preservers gathered to plan the next year's classes at OSU Extension, or I thought I did! I made mental notes as Claire prepared the dish and later went home and wrote down what I remembered. In talking with her recently it turns out my memory was not very accurate, but the dish sure is delicious! Such is the nature of recipes; they change with each cook.
Cubes of sweet pumpkin (any type of pumpkin or winter squash is suitable) are sauteed in a bit of butter until tender. Fresh sage leaves are cut in ribbons and sizzled in more butter, and the two are tossed into a pound of al dente spinach fettucchine. Divine!
Secret ingredient assures tender texture and smooth rolling. See how it's made with step-by-step photos.
This is an indulgent and yet healthful goody. You'll love having a stash of Pumpkin Pie Fruit Leather for portable snacks. I played around with ideas for this recipe for about 3 pumpkin seasons and while it can be made without pectin I find the texture of the finished product more toothsome and less prone to cracking when I do use it. Feel free to alter the spices to suit your taste.
Will make you crave spaghetti squash!
For many years spaghetti squash was touted as an alternative for spaghetti noodles and recipes for it involved various tomato-y sauces. You may prefer it prepared this way, with a dressing of butter and/or olive oil and herbs. You'll appreciate the flavor and texture of the vegetable and perhaps even find yourself craving it like I do!
Pumpkin Yeast Bread is a nice change from the traditional baking soda-leavened quick bread. You may use any of the hard-shelled winter squashes, such as Butternut, Hubbard, Pink Banana, or even roasted sweet potato flesh for the Roasted Pumpkin or Winter Squash Puree. The dough is adaptable and may also be shaped into rolls.
I first tasted pumpkin seed butter at my local grower's market and was utterly surprised at how delicious it was. The color is an unpromising shade of green that makes you think of kale or sprouts, but the flavor is anything but. In fact, it tastes more like almond butter or peanut butter – rich, luxurious, wonderful mouth-feel. I had to buy a jar of it. I then proceeded to eat it directly from the jar with a spoon over the next 3 days. It is that good. It is, of course good on toast or anywhere a nut butter might be appreciated. I find it especially delicious on Pumpkin Yeast Bread.


Exercises are usually done for multiple purposes like strengthening the body, toning up the muscles and just for merely looking good. One has to decide what this focal point is going to be even before starting an exercise regime. Seeking the guidance of a qualified Fitness Trainer will always value add to all the efforts and time put in workout. While some men focus on their lower part of their body, some focus on the upper part of the body and mainly shoulders. Broad shoulders add to the masculinity of men. Irrespective of the type of exercise or the purpose of the workout ensure to do enough warm ups.
Increasing the number of repetitions lifting light weights is no more in practice. The extent of calories burnt is increased by doing higher volumes of heavy work in increased number of repetitions. This enables burning of calories not only during the workouts but even after workouts and is felt openly. This approach is called excess post-exercise oxygen consumption, or EPOC. Movements are faster in this approach to enable muscle burn felt easily. Seated Barbell Military Press, Dumbbell Lateral Raise, Bent over real Delt Raise, Cable Front Raise, Upright Cable Row, Reverse Machine Fly and Lateral Raise Machine are some of the workouts that are considered higher Delt defining.
Middle Delts play a crucial in projecting your shoulders look wider. This also creates an illusion of sleek waists while broadening the V Taper. However, these are possible only if workouts are done focusing on the middle delts. Barbell Shoulder Press, Upright Barbell Row, Leaning Dumbbell Lateral Raise, Lateral Raise machine are some of the exercises that can help you focus on working out the middle delt.
Workouts that train chest gives good front delt since these are automatically involved in all the inclines and pushes. But it is necessary to work out separately for Front Delt. Some of the workout for an effective front delt is Barbell Shoulder Press, Arnold Dumbbell Press, Front two dumbbell press and Cable Front Rope Raise.
The hands play a crucial role in workouts for strong shoulders and so it is essential that your Triceps cooperates for the complete workout regime. Do the single joint movements first so the delts fail before the Triceps. Do not go too heavy on single joint exercises since they may hurt the elbow joints.
Adjusting the weights to suit your capability is very important in every stage of exercising. Also, interchange the order of these exercises to suit your comfort level so that you derive maximum benefit out of doing the same. When the order is interchanged, sometimes you may feel weaker on the overhead presses and stronger on the single joint movement. Never mind as long as you are okay with it.

Gina Carano appears on Arsenio Hall – Coming Back?


It has become très chic to criticize and dismiss the concept of statistical significance.
Michael D. Green, D. Michael Freedman, and Leon Gordis, " Reference Guide on Epidemiology" 549, 579, in Federal Judicial Center and National Research Council, Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence (3d ed. 2011).
The Reference Manual authors are, in fact, hypo-critical of the rhetoric of Ziliak and McCloskey. I have previously written at some length of these authors', and brief writers', submission to the Supreme Court, and their subsequent harrumph in Significance. See The Matrixx Oversold; Matrixx Unloaded; The Matrixx – A Comedy of Errors; Matrixx Galvanized – More Errors, More Comedy About Statistics; and Ziliak Gives Legal Advice — Puts His Posterior On the Line (June 2, 2011).
To date, I have not addressed Ziliak and McCloskey's book-length treatment of statistical significance, and their demonization of Sir Ronald Fisher, their beatification of William Gossett, and the need for a measure of "ummph: The Cult of Statistical Significance. Thankfully, Professor Deborah Mayo, a professor of statistics and philosophy, has delivered the coup de grâce to Ziliac & McCloskey, in her interesting and timely blog, Error Statistics Philosophy. See, e.g., Part 2 Prionvac: The Will to Understand Power (October 3, 2011); and Part 3: Prionvac: How the Reformers Should Have done Their Job (October 4, 2011).
Mayo's "will to understand power" is a nice play on Nietzsche, and a rebuke of Ziliak and McCloskey's strident call for a measure of "ummph." Most of their argument is beside the point for the current practice of epidemiology, which insists upon reporting a measure of "effect" size, as well as statistical precision in a confidence interval. The Reference Manual's citation to Ziliak & McCloskey's book thus badly misses the point and the errors of the book's criticisms of significance.
Mayo's posts should remove any sense of need or desire to obtain and read Ziliac & McCloskey's book. You can safely wait until Cult shows up in on the discount rack, or in the recycling pile.
