Étiquette : Rielly
Leafs' Rielly turns the corner in comfort zone
SAN JOSE—Ask Morgan Rielly why he doesn't like talking about how good he's been and he tells you, "because it's stupid," but he doesn't mean that, not really. He's just kidding. He can be really funny, Morgan. He's quick on his feet, and he seems so confident, especially now. He seems like he has it all figured out.
"Yeah, but I've really never been overly confident," says Rielly.

Wait, what? On the ice or off?
You'd never know, unless you knew him when. When Rielly was a kid he was athletic, competitive as hell, but shy; he hated going to camp and meeting new kids. His family was close-knit and largely content with that. Rielly still has the same friends that he made in fifth grade playing hockey. They're the people he's most comfortable with.
He has changed, sort of. This season, the 24-year-old Rielly has leapt to a new place, a different place. He has 24 points in 19 games; it's about twice his career-best points per game. He is jumping into the rush at the right time; his decision-making is unhindered by second-guessing. He credits his Leaf teammates mostly. He doesn't look like he's nervous.
"Well, around here I'm not like that, because I'm comfortable," says Rielly. "But when you're put into a new situation, I get nervous all the time. But I don't as much anymore when I'm in this environment. When you're around your teammates and your coaches."
"Well, he's a guy who always seems like he's been comfortable in his own skin, so if he's finding a new level of comfort then you have to believe that he's very confident right now," says backup goaltender Garret Sparks. "You never see the insecure side with him, right? It's interesting that he said that because I don't think he gives off that vibe, ever.
"I think it's a talent that he's able to suppress that and not show so much of it. And stuff like that takes time. If it's taken him five years to reach that level of comfort, obviously something like that takes a little bit of time."
That is about what it took. When Rielly started in the league he wasn't sure of himself, and part of that was that he didn't want to be seen as a cocky kid, holding court; he wanted to respect how good the league was, and the process of finding a foothold there. As he says, "you want to be a normal guy."
"I've always been nervous and you know, feeling like I have a ways to go in order to establish myself," says Rielly. "You want to earn your spot, and it takes time. You've got to earn your spot. And then as that happens you earn confidence and you get more comfortable. So it's a process.
"I mean, take Auston (Matthews) as an example. He came in and he's a confident guy, knowing how good he was. I wasn't really like that. It takes time to earn that for some people, and with Auston, with (Connor) McDavid, with almost Mitch (Marner), you come in and you're confident and you're comfortable and you know that you're going to be able to put up points and play well."
But Rielly doubted himself, and then he was dropped into the Mike Babcock preparatory academy: grinding minutes and defensive assignments. And slowly, day by day and year by year, he earned confidence. Let him tell it.
"I think it just happens over time," says Rielly. "You go to the world championships and you play big minutes, that's a big step. The World Cup, you play well, you're in a leadership role, that's a big step. You come here, you play for a good team, a good coach and a good group, and you just get comfortable. You just become kind of in a good situation and you feel like you're able to thrive.
"I mean, I think I don't really make as many mistakes. You know, people used to tell me if you're a good player, all you have to worry about is limiting mistakes, because the other 90 per cent of the time if you do the right thing — which if you're a good player you will — then you're not making pointless mistakes that are just lazy or, for lack of a better word, just dumb. And you're going to be fine.
"I think that I don't have a lot of limitations when it comes to ability. Like, strength and speed, I think I train hard enough in the off-season that I'm always ready to go. And the more comfortable you get and the smarter you get — because a lot of playing defence is just brain power, learning from previous mistakes and just getting better. You know what I mean? Just understanding the game more. The more you learn, the more comfortable you get in that position. There's no excuse not to get better. Until your body starts to give out on you a little bit, you get to an age, it happens to everyone, your legs start to go.
"At a certain point you want the expectations to be raised, and when you're playing at a high level the questions aren't 'How does it feel to be playing at a high level?' It's 'How's the body feeling?' because you're playing normally. Because that's your standard, and that's the level you want to get to."
He wants this to be his normal. He wants it to be what's expected. Watching Rielly this season is like seeing wheels catch after wading through the mud, and he's his most confident self now. He's at home. Before the San Jose game Thursday, Rielly was standing there in his sharp grey suit and teammate Connor Brown wandered by, lost in a cinder-block maze full of unlabelled grey doors. "That way, legend," said Rielly, pointing to the right one. Nazem Kadri followed and Rielly sent him in the right direction, too. He knew where to go. He was sure of it.

The Harrison Players
(Story is also posted in the March 2022 issue of the Pueblo County Historical Society The Pueblo Lore).
Seventeen days after the flood of June 3, 1921, the Grand Theater reopened after clearing "six and a half feet of water from the stage." The repairs were a sign that entertainment would once again be a part of the Pueblo landscape after the horrific devastation.
On November 6, the Daily Chieftain announced that the Grand was looking for a permanent stock company—a theater group which Pueblo could call its own—to be regular performers. A few days later, it was announced that the Harrison Players, formed by Charles Harrison, would take the stage as the troupe in residence. "The Harrison Players were organized expressly for Pueblo with the purpose of giving Pueblo theater goers a high-class, permanent, dramatic company," according to the Grand's manager, J.D. Colegrove.
Charles Harrison was a well-known theater company player, who had formed stock player companies in Dallas, El Paso, and Kansas City. In a Chieftain story, he admitted that he was looking for a permanent home for his troupe and was happy to be setting up in Pueblo for the long term.
The cast of the Harrison Players included a literal Who's Who of early 1900s touring theater entertainers: Aubrey Anderson (previously of El Paso stock company), Frederick Boon (previously of the Arlington Players in Montana), Adelaide Irving—leading lady (popular actress who has appeared in Fort Worth, Austin, Houston and El Paso), Kelly Masters (from the F.P. Hillman Stock Co.), Fred McCord, Pearl Nichols (W.T. Swain Company in New Orleans), Ruby Rumley (Florida actress), Betty Rumley, Johnny Sullivan, Billy Topp (previously of the Lewis-Worth stock company).
The group's first performance, Two-Fisted Love, told the story of "a lightweight boxer (Kid Maloney) who is booked to fight a champion (Kid Burns). While he is in a small town to train, he meets the daughters of a minister, and this precipitates a battle which means more to him than the prize-ring championship."
Harrison Players' performances:
November 19 – Cheating Cheaters
November 26 – Mr. Jim Bailey
December 3 – Kick In (John Barrymore starred in the original NYC production)
December 11 – Little Peggy O'Moore
December 17 – Mary's Ankle
December 27 – The Brat
January 1 – Civilian Clothes
January 8 – Tennessee's Pardner
January 10 – Common Clay – starred Don Barclay (previously of Ziegfeld's Follies)
January 12 – Geewilliker Hay
January 22 – The Shepherd of the Hills
January 26 – A Pair of Sixes (starring 1911 Centennial graduate Miss Wally Norris)
February 5 – Saintly Hypocrites and Honest Sinners
February 13 – At 9:45
February 18 – Fair and Warmer
February 26, 1922 – Her Husband's Kin-Folks
Between November 11, 1921, and February 26, 1922, The Harrison Players staged a total of 17 plays, each running about a week. It was reported that every show sold out of tickets and there were waiting lists for admission. The company was so beloved that when rumors began to circulate that they were leaving Pueblo, the local paper ran a story asking them to reconsider (the rumors weren't true, as the troupe only wanted to take a few days off).
On March 1, 1922, all of that was about to change.
At 1:15 in the morning, with an outside temperature of 22 degrees below zero, a fire broke out in the dance hall on the fourth floor of the Grand Opera House block. By 1:30, the three-alarm blaze had brought out every piece of equipment the fire department had and every fireman they could find. According to the Pueblo Firefighters Historical Society, the fire burned its way to the scenery loft above the stage and soon the falling and flaming scenery drapes ignited the stage. By 1:50, the roof had collapsed. The red sandstone exterior blocks were three feet thick and withstood the water and the weather. The estimated monetary loss was measured in the hundreds of thousands. The Harrison Players revealed that the loss of its sets and costumes was estimated to be $20,000 (2022 equivalent = $329,000). They had no insurance.
The day after the disaster, the troupe was left wondering what would become of them. They weren't the only ones pondering the future of the performers. The Chieftain reported that the group wanted to stay, and that "scores of comments on the streets...the people want them to stay." The city quickly rallied around the beloved Harrison Players. To financially help, the Rialto Theater held a benefit and donated all its revenue to them. The city approved the Harrison Players use of City Auditorium for a repeat performance of Saintly Hypocrites and Honest Sinners. They then moved to the Majestic Theater, where they performed Her Husband's Kin-Folks.
In an editorial, the paper pleaded with them to stay. "The Harrison Players in particular have won the good will of the people of Pueblo by their sincere efforts to provide clean and wholesome amusement of a high grade of artistic effort. Such a company is a valuable asset to any city, and it is the general hope that the destruction of the theater with much of the company's equipment will not necessitate their removal from Pueblo. Anything that can be done within reason to make it possible for them to remain ought to be done. This we owe to the city if not to this painstaking and conscientious company of actors."
By March 5, it appeared that the Harrison Players would continue to perform in Pueblo. It was announced that the troupe "voted and decided to stay." They would use the City Auditorium, and even announced a new play was in the works, Lone Star Ranch. The good news would not last.
Just two days after announcing that they would stay in Pueblo, the troupe published a letter in the Chieftain, announcing that it could no longer stage performances due to "many obstacles."
"To our dear friends. We had decided last Saturday to undertake to stay in Pueblo for a few more weeks, giving our performances in Memorial Hall, through the opportunity offered us by the City Commissioners. But we were swayed away from the vision of many obstacles when we made this decision by the great evidence of friendship shown us on the streets, and at our benefit. Later a more calm and mature view of the situation bringing to light troubles in the way of scenery needed, sickness of some of the players, offers received by others..."
"Never in the history of this city has a company of dramatic players given such a general satisfaction and gained such a tremendous number of loyal admirers and friends as did the Harrison Players, who appeared here in the Grand Opera House for seventeen weeks this winter. A big fire on March 1, resulting in the destruction of the theater and practically everything in it, brought to an end an engagement of one of the most enjoyed permanent theatrical attractions in the city."
Billboard - April 1, 1922
The city commissioners offered the City auditorium to the players as an inducement to remain after the fire, the newspapers devoted columns to them, the fraternal and civic organizations offered their assistance, but after thorough consideration, it was decided they could not maintain their high standard of productions in the auditorium because of insufficient scenery to work with and the oversize of the building.
Eight months later the group would return to the stage in Walsenburg. The troupe staged Cappy Ricks at the Star Theater. They would take the act on the road, performing in Rocky Ford and Ordway.
After another year of touring Colorado, the Harrison Players would move to Colorado Springs. Charles Harrison and J.D. Colegrove would form the Harrison Play Bureau, a distribution house for scripts and other theater needs. In July 1924, the business moved to Denver (1012 E. Colfax). The last known performance of the Harrison Players was reported on June 27, 1924.
The Harrison Players never returned to Pueblo.

Haiti celebrates Battle of Vertieres Day on 18 November. This is a public holiday that remembers the last great battle in the Second War for Haitian Independence. It was fought against the French and won by the Haitian rebel forces in the year 1803.
The victory at Vertieres was decisive, and independence came within two months of the battle's end. The defeat of a major colonial power by rebel slaves and the setting up of the first "black republic" in the Americas, were earth-shattering events.
Every year on 18 November, Haiti's president will give a commemorative speech at the monument to the Battle of Vertieres in Port au Prince. And there are various celebratory and patriotic events held throughout the country.
However, the name Armed Forces Day, once applied to this holiday, was dropped, and the military parade was discontinued in the 1990's due to the history of violence that had accompanied it.

If you're a Chucky fan, then you most likely recognize her from Bride of Chucky. The comedy/horror flick was headlined by Jennifer Tilly, and hit theaters in the late 90s. Though the film was profitable, Heigl later stated how embarrassed she was to be involved with its production.

Transparency, corruption, authority, and future plans for USG highlighted in Harapan 2017
Post author By Isabel Cañaveral, Eliza Santos
No Comments on Transparency, corruption, authority, and future plans for USG highlighted in Harapan 2017
In the midst of all the controversies and mudslinging circulating around social media, the candidates for this year's University Student Government (USG) General Elections (GE) faced off in Harapan 2017, the annual debate organized by the DLSU Commission on Elections, La Salle Debate Society, USG Judiciary, and Ang Pahayagang Plaridel last July 14 at the William Shaw Theater.
The debate was divided into four rounds focused on the positions of Legislative Assembly (LA) Representatives, USG President, and College Presidents. A final round was held for the rematch of USG Presidents.
Candidates were given three minutes to answer a general question and two minutes for a follow-up question from the adjudicators. They were also given one minute to rebut the answer of their opponents, and five minutes to respond to questions specifically directed to them from the audience members.
Transparency and corruption
For the first round, LA Representative candidates Adrian Mendoza from Santugon and Pearl Guevarra from Tapat discusses the issue of whether parties should disclose how much they spend during the campaign period. Mendoza, who won best speaker for the round, asserts that although financial transparency is important it will not help inform the voters' choices because it will draw attention away from the candidates' platforms.
"When we enter the debate of finances and expenses, we must err on the side of caution. Transparency can, at times, be unnecessary, and in fact, damaging," Mendoza says.
Guevarra, on the other hand, opposes Mendoza's argument. "The students have the right to consider all things before voting," she asserts.
In the second round of the debate, USG President candidates Erielle Chua from Tapat, Karl Ong from Santugon, and independent candidate Mikee De Vega were asked if the USG should be harsher in handling corruption allegations. All three candidates agree on the need to impose stricter measures in dealing with issues of corruption.
Chua says that the current system of check and balance is weak. According to her, the harsher handling of corruption allegations should also extend to other matters such as gross negligence.
De Vega agrees and states that there should be an open investigation process in the corruption allegations. Meanwhile, Ong recognizes that the USG is not a perfect system, and that there is an avenue for students to commit mistakes. Moreover, he adds that there should be a continuous check and balance with the presentation of facts and evidences.
On the authority of the USG
The third round of the debate was between College President candidates Zam Doctolero from Tapat and Adi Briones from Santugon. The question given to the candidates was whether the USG should have more power in the administration.
According to Briones, the USG should have more power in decision-making policies. He also believes that students should be represented in both the planning and final decision-making by not necessarily being part of, but by occupying a seat in the Board of Trustees.
On the other hand, Doctolero upholds the current system wherein the DLSU Administration has more authority compared to the USG. He says that granting the USG more power will only lead to its abuse, and that what should be resolved instead is the knowledge on the process of lobbying student's rights.
A future concerning the bigger picture
The last round was a rematch between the three candidates running for USG President. The adjudicators asked the candidates for their plans on the USG to have a bigger impact on the national level. Chua cites the efforts that Tapat and the USG have been making in the past, such as pushing for LGBT rights through participating in the pride march, raising awareness on mental health issues, fighting for better education in DLSU, and releasing manifestos regarding national issues.
Chua's future plans for the USG involve partnering with civil society organizations, activist movements, Lasallian leaders, and government officials, as well as fostering stronger ties with De La Salle Philippines. She also plans on strengthening existing organizations such as Bantay Lasalyano and the Committee on National Issues and Concerns (CONIC).
On the other hand, De Vega stresses the importance of the USG's immediate mobilization and drafting of statements upholding Lasallian values, especially those concerning urgent national issues. "If we prolong the process of trying to find out what a clear, solid stance can be, if we prolong the process of creating a specific statement, then ultimately the issue dies, and our capacity to try and change that situation also dies along with that issue, and the harm has already been done," she explains.
Like Chua, De Vega also brought up CONIC, which she believes is an important outlet for student representation and for discussing morally contentious issues. Furthermore, she emphasizes the need for the USG to continuously move for consultations and constantly look out for issues.
Ong, the winner for the final round, states that the way to increase impact on a national level is through strengthening student engagement. He acknowledges the diversity of student engagement and how the USG, along with the other sectors of the University, should cater to these individuals through inclusive and holistic governance. He believes that the way to increase student engagement is by providing more activities for students to engage, and showing the relevance of these issues to them as Lasallians.
As the voting period for USG GE comes close this July 18 to 20, the decision resides on the student body. However, amid growing frustrations on the USG as shown in social media, the future of the student government has become more uncertain than ever.

Top Source Countries Of Tourists To Malaysia
The cityscape of Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, one of the most visited cities in the country.
Malaysia is one of the popular tourist destinations in the world. It is ranked ninth in the world for tourism arrival. The government of Malaysia has made several initiatives in the past few years to promote tourism in the country with the aim of diversifying the economy and making it less dependent on exports. As a result, tourism is currently the third largest foreign income earner in Malaysia accounting for over 7% of the country's economy. Tourism in Malaysia is promoted by the Tourism Malaysia Agency or the Malaysian Tourism Promotion Board (MTPB) which was formed in 1992. Malaysia also launched a worldwide campaign in 1999 that was dubbed "Malaysia, Truly Asia" as a marketing tool leading to about 7.5 million tourists visiting the country.
Tourism Malaysia
Tourism Malaysia or MTPB was established in 1972 under the Ministry of Trade and Industry to promote tourism in the country. Through several promotional activities, Tourism Malaysia has about 34 overseas and 10 marketing representative offices. The government agency has signed contracts with several countries and organizations including Manchester United, Chelsea, and other football (soccer) teams in an effort to promote Malaysia. The diverse culture, beautiful holiday destinations, and unique attractions have made the country one of the most popular destinations for tourists. The government has also started a campaign dubbed "1Malaysia Green, 1Malaysia Clean" in an effort to let the tour operators and travelers know the importance of protecting nature while promoting eco-tourism. Tourism Malaysia has also focused on niche tourism products such as sports, bird watching, medical and wellness, and shopping in order to boost the tourist numbers.
Tourist Arrivals In Malaysia
The tourism industry in Malaysia indicated signs of recovery in 2016 with the figures showing more tourist arrivals in the country after a slowdown in 2014 and 2015. The country recorded about 26.7 million tourist arrivals in 2016 up from 25.7 million in 2015 signifying a 4% upward growth. The bad publicity that came with the disappearance of Malaysia Airline Flight 370 with 239 people on board made the country well known to the world, for better or for worse. Singapore, Indonesia, and China were the three top sources of tourists visiting Malaysia in 2016 with 13 million, 3 million and 2 million arrivals respectively. The ASEAN region continues to be the largest contributor of tourist arrival with about 76% of the total arrivals. Thailand registered the highest growth from 1.3 million arrivals in 2015 to 1.7 million arrivals in 2016 representing 32.5% upward growth. It was followed by Brunei arrivals that grew by 22.7%, Indonesia (9.4%), and Singapore (2.6%). However, arrivals from France, Vietnam, Philippines, and India decreased significantly. The stronger tourism performance in 2016 is attributed to cheaper air travel and numerous flights due to the expansion of the low-cost carriers in the region. The tourist receipt rose by about 19% contributing $18.1 billion in 2016 up from $15.71 billion in 2015 translating to an average per capita expenditure of $698.
Tourist Destinations And Attractions
Malaysia is a preferred tourist destination because of the hundreds of tourist attractions and destinations spread across the country. The major attractions include historical structural buildings such as Stadthuys and Malacca Christ Church, museums, national parks, beaches, resorts, and towers. Malaysia is also a shopping destination with varieties to offer shoppers. Medical tourism is also popular in the country with the Malaysia Health Care Travel Council reporting an arrival of 640,000 foreign patients

And The Athertons Will Be Riding... Their Own Atherton Bikes for 2019.
And The Athertons Will Be Riding… Their Own Atherton Bikes for 2019.
Another part of the World Cup rumour mill as the fastest family in downhill launch their own bikes to race from 2019 onwards.
Gee, Dan and Rachel Atherton, along with Dragon's Den entrepreneur Piers Linney and Robot Bike Co. will be making their own line of top end race bikes a reality with Atherton Bikes.
After three years with Trek Factory Racing, it's hard to think of a bigger change in setup that this.
Read the full Atherton Bikes press release below.
Dragons' Den entrepreneur Piers Linney will join as a co-founder of the newly formed company with the introductory Atherton Bikes range scheduled for sale in 2019.
Dan Atherton said "It's always been a dream of mine for us to ride for our own bike company. We've ridden for some great brands and we're proud of the part we've played in the development of DH bikes from the Commencal to the Trek Session and trail bikes like the GT Sanction.
We've always really enjoyed the process, from working with the designers on the early stages through to testing and refining prototypes on the World Cup circuit. But because of the way that the sponsorship system works we'd soon be starting over with a new brand.
Gee continues "We will start with what we know best, focusing on high level product designed to be ridden aggressively! For 2019 we'll race our own prototype bike and we're planning to bring that DH bike to market, along with a range of trail bikes.
You can check out everything Atherton Bikes-related over on their website.
Sounds like they will be proper capable bits of kit. Good luck to them.


"I think the most important thing about Cinequest is it's definitely the first time I've ever come to a festival where my immediate reaction is, 'What do I have to do to be invited back?' and that's not normally my reaction. It's a perfect film festival in a glorious place."
"I've been submitting to Cinequest since 2013. The Cinequest judges' feedback and scorecards have always been top notch, and Cinequest is a respected and known festival. I had a fantastic experience attending this year. The producers and staff do an amazing job, essentially taking over San Jose for the festival. It's incredible...I'm over the moon to be working with Frank Grillo, Joe Carnahan, Myles Nestel and Lisa Wilson at The Solution, and with the crew at CAA. I think Netflix is absolutely the perfect venue for [Wheelman]. This is going to be a hell of movie, I can't wait for people to see it."
"My cell was ringing with option interest before I even left San Jose. The Cinequest win helped me land representation in L.A., which resulted in attaching a seasoned producer who loves the script. I'm now being read by some of the most well-known production companies and all the major studios in Hollywood."
"Winning the Cinequest feature screenwriting competition gave me a chance to connect with other writers and filmmakers, and provided me with amazing opportunities to open some doors. A top-notch competition!"
"Cinequest offers the creme 'de la creme' of screenplay competitions! All of the events were professionally run, and as a Screenwriting Finalist, I encountered wonderful networking situations, well thought out educational opportunities, and a warm embrace into this vibrant community."
"I saw the word "maverick" and took a chance on a lark that maybe this was a venue that could help foster my own vision. I graduated from the USC Graduate Screenwriting program...whatever happens in my career from this point on, I will consider [Cinequest] as one of the key factors in my development as a writer."
"I can honestly say that Cinequest is one of the most writer-friendly film festivals I've ever been to. It was such a pleasure to meet everyone and, most of all, hear all of the stories. Here's hoping we all get a green light someday!"
"Everyone at Cinequest was great and I enjoyed the networking opportunities they provided. My screenplay is moving forward and we are seeking out investors to co-produce."
"Meeting other artists and sharing in their journey was the inspirational spark that I really needed..."
"I submit a script to Cinequest pretty much every year because I love to go to San Jose for the festival. The movies are always top-notch, the theaters are convenient for walking, the people are friendly, and socializing with movie folks is always stimulating."


Another month, another great set of releases coming our way. Here's my April edit: what I may not have read, but would certainly recommend giving a go!
My Pick: Superior Ion Man Volume 1!
This week on Top Ten Tuesday, we've been asked to list a very specific group of talents: authors we've read, loved, but have not read more than one book from! It was disturbingly easy for me to put this list together – there are a lot of books I still need to read!
A two-for-one! As the authors of the glorious These Broken Stars, they absolutely wowed me. I mean, WOW. I absolutely cannot wait for the next book in the trilogy… but, in the meantime, there are their individual novels!
Debut 2014 author, Livia Blackburn, is on my to-watch list. I loved her prequel novella Poison Dance (reviewed on goodreads) and really want to get to her actual book!
A classic YA author, if there ever was one. Eeeeeverybody loves her. I've only read her book Last Chance, but I own quite a few!
Oh, George. I loved Game of Thrones, but I had a lot of trouble getting into A Clash of Kings. He is certainly an author I need to revisit, but I don't know when I'll have the strength to sit through his deathly sagas!
This is another one of those authors that everybody loves but I? I am late to the party! I read her White Hot Kiss (much more UF than romance, despite the title/cover) and loved it. I even got to meet her at BEA this year! But alas, I am still behind on her books. Sigh.
I adored Alan's Moloka'i. I laughed, cried – the whole nine yards. I wrote a glowing review for it and then immediately went out to get his other set-in-Hawaii novel Honolulu… and never got to it.

Q: merging block group data that uses 2000 geography with 2010 geography I would like to combine data sets from 2010 which use 2000 geography with 2011 data that use 2010 census geography. The data is from the contiguous US and is either at block or block group level. I am trying to get a sense of:

*

*How difficult that would be to do correctly

*Where a simple merge using the block or BG coordinates or code would go wrong (such as Las Vegas or Phoenix).

I've tried to locate this information on the Census homepage as well as this site, but I am not sure if I am using the best terminology in my search.

A: Based on Census Bureau's explanation:
"A census block group (BG) is a cluster of census blocks having the same first digit of their four-digit identifying numbers within a census tract. (See also Census Tract.) BGs generally contain between 600 and 3,000 people, with an optimum size of 1,500 people..."
Therefore, the shape/boundary of a block group could be changed between 2000 census and 2010 census depends on the increase/decrease of the total population in that area.
Actually, if you look at the following fact you will realize that there is a significant change in the Census Block group between 2000 and 2010 census:

*

*2000 Census: 208,668 Block groups

*2010 Census: 217,740 Block groups

As a result, I would not suggest you to merge those two datasets together because by doing that can yield inaccuracy and it might not be able to reveal the truth. I strongly suggest you to download and use the most recent data in order to get the most accurate result. (However, if you really wanna merge them together, maybe you can try to join those two datasets by using a field named "GEOID2").
Here is an article provided by Esri, and it gives us a very good example about why accuracy and currency matters in our data:

The map above shows us a fact that the Census Bureau can add new block groups to the inventory but also change the locations and boundaries of existing block groups. Here, Block Group 060730098031 (outlined in blue) shows its boundaries and location in Census 2000; dark red outlines its location in Census 2010 geography. The geocode is identical, but the boundary is completely different. Therefore, performing population or housing unit analyses with current data or projections using Census 2000 geography would yield completely inaccurate results.

A: It's going to be difficult to impossible depending on how big of an area you want to do. Block Groups are not a geography that the Census Bureau worries about maintaining for comparability (Tracts they try to keep comparable). You'll have to reaggregate blocks from 2000 to match 2010 Block Groups.

In January of 1986, I took a Sabbatical from teaching at Woodland High School to earn my Master's Degree in Counselor Education. I left Woodland with the belongings that I would need for a spring semester and a summer semester at Orono. I had been traveling to Orono two times a week during the fall semester and was set in traveling by way of Route 1 to Route 6 and then going south on 95 to Orono. I had figured that if I went off the road in bad weather on those roads, I would just wait in the snow banks until help came along. On the other hand, I had decided that going off the road on Route 9 might just get me killed by one of the many trucks traveling that road day and night.
I had been assigned to Esterbrook Hall, which historically was for upper class students, many of whom were from other countries. When I arrived on campus, I had several surprises. The first surprise was that there was not a parking place near Esterbrook Hall and the second surprise was that any parking places available were deep in snow. The first thing I did was shovel a parking place big enough to get the car parked and the doors opened. I spent the next few hours carrying what I really needed to begin my program to the top floor of the dorm from a parking space quite a distance away.
My next surprise was that the room set up was nice for most people, but problematic for me. The "suite" was actually two rooms, which would have been great except that if I had the outside room near the door, my roommate had to go past my bed and belongings to get to her room; if I had the inside room, I would have to go through her bed and belongings to get out. Since I made several trips in the night even then, I was not comfortable with the arrangement.
I continued to drag my necessities, a few each day, to my room and then I discovered a special place, Chadbourne Hall. This office building/dorm was reserved for non-traditional students. Many of them had been in the military and were taking care of their education with the help of the government. They were a really fun bunch although I would not call them serious students.
I was happy to have a room by myself and stayed there until the May classes began and then I schlepped everything out of Chadbourne Hall and back into Esterbrook Hall (no snow to shovel) and this time a room to myself.
The very best thing about being at Chadbourne Hall was that I had a sense of belonging. The first time I went to the dining room for Chadbourne Hall, I found a seat off by myself. The person in charge of the residents at Chadbourne Hall came over and said, "All of us Chadbournians eat together." From then on I had a place to belong, a place to eat and ready-made buddies. I had to pass up the parties, which began on Thursday and lasted until early Monday morning. I certainly was too old for that kind of schedule. I did, however, attend the Chadbournians's Super Bowl party and found out how non-traditional students celebrate…whether they have anything to celebrate or not.

Primary Care Networks (PCNs) are groups of family doctors and other health professionals who work together to develop programs and services designed to meet your everyday health needs. These can include health teams, after hours care, clinics and workshops. There are seven PCNs in the Calgary area – caring for more than one million patients -- and 42 province-wide.
Health teams led by your family doctor can vary in size and focus but often include nurses, mental health consultants, pharmacists, dietitians and kinesiologists. The care you receive from the team is an extension of the care you receive from your family doctor, and is part of what makes your doctor's clinic your health or medical home.
To find a doctor elsewhere in Alberta, please visit the provincial Find a Doctor website.
This website is designed to make it easier and quicker for patients in the Calgary area to find a family doctor. Research shows patients who have a family doctor and visit them regularly are healthier as they age and live longer. In addition, they receive more chronic disease care, make fewer visits to the emergency room and are hospitalized less. Launched in 2010 and redeveloped in 2015, calgaryareadocs.com is a partnership between the seven Calgary-area PCNs and Alberta Health Services.

In October 2016 it was announced that a second batch of five more corvettes is to be procured from 2022–25.[4] The decision was in response to NATO requirements expecting Germany to provide a total of four corvettes at the highest readiness level for littoral operations by 2018, and with only five corvettes just two can be provided.[5]
Technical detailsEdit
They feature reduced radar and infra-red signatures ("stealth" beyond the Sachsen-class frigates) and will be equipped with two helicopter UAVs for remote sensing. Recently, the German Navy ordered a first batch of 2 UMS Skeldar V-200 UAVs for the use on the Braunschweig-class corvettes.[6] The hangar is too small for standard helicopters, but the pad is large enough for Sea Kings, Lynx or NH-90s, the helicopters of the German Navy.
Originally the K130 class was supposed to be armed with the naval version of the Polyphem missile, an optical fiber-guided missile with a range of 60 kilometres (37 mi), which at the time was under development. The Polyphem program was canceled in 2003 and instead the designers chose to equip the class with the RBS-15. While the RBS-15 has a much greater range —250 kilometres (160 mi)—, the current version mounted on the ships, Mk3, lacks the ECM-resistant video feedback of the Polyphem. The German Navy has ordered the RBS-15 Mk4 in advance, which will be a future development of the Mk3 with increased range —400 kilometres (250 mi)— and a dual seeker for increased resistance to electronic countermeasures.[7] The RBS-15 Mk3 has the capability to engage land targets.[8]
Difficulty of classificationEdit
Vessels of this class do not have an executive officer (German: Erster Offizier). Traditionally, in the Germany Navy this was used as a rule to classify a vessel as a boat, not a ship. In a press release the German Navy states that these corvettes will be called ships nonetheless because of their size, armament and endurance.[9] The commanding officer wields the same disciplinary power as a German Army company commander, not that of a battalion commander as is the case with the larger German warships such as frigates.[10] However, in size, armament, protection and role these corvettes resemble modern anti-surface warfare (ASuW) frigates, the main difference being the total absence of any anti-submarine warfare (ASW) related sensors or weapons.
ContractingEdit
The contract for first five ships was awarded in December 2001 Blohm+Voss, at that time owned by ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems, Nordseewerke, and Friedrich Lurssen Werft. The first ship, the FGS Braunshweig, built at Blohm+Voss, was launched in April 2006 and was commissioned in April 2008. The second ship was commissioned in 2008.[11] The third three ships were commissioned in 2013.[12] Severe problems with the gearing provided by MAAG GmbH of Winterthur, Switzerland delayed the commissioning of the corvettes. Further issues occurred with the air conditioning system and exposure to toxins from exhaust and missile systems.[13]
In May 2015, the Israeli Government ordered four Sa'ar 6-class corvettes, whose design by ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems will be loosely based on that of the Braunschweig-class corvette,[14] but with engineering changes to render the baseline platform more militarily robust.[15]
In April 2017 the German government announced a contract for a further five ships to the same group as before, but the process under which it had been awarded was challenged at the German Federal Cartel Office by the German Naval Yards and the contract was voided in May.[16][17]
In September 2017, the German Navy commissioned the construction of five more corvettes in a consortium of North German shipyards. Lürssen will be the main contractor in the production of the vessels. The contract is worth around 2 billion euros.[17][18] In April 2018 the German government announced that the specific arrangements under which the five new K130s would be built.[19][20]
Ships in classEdit
The ships were not built at a single shipyard; sections were constructed at different locations at the same time and later married together. The table lists the yard where the keel-laying ceremonies were held. Due to the decommissioning of the Gepard class five are additionally planned to be constructed from 2019–23.[21]

Auld Lang Syne & Other New Year's Traditions
In Holiday
Okay, I'll admit it. For many years I thought the words to the traditional New Year's Eve song were Old Ang Zine. I never understood the words or the significance of singing them on New Year's Eve as the clock strikes midnight.
"Auld Lang Syne" is a Scottish song first published in 1788. Robert Burns, famed eighteenth century Scottish poet/songwriter, also referred to as "Scotland's Favorite Son," is credited with setting the lyrics to a traditional Scottish ditty called Can Ye Labour Lea. The title, roughly translated to modern English, literally means "old long since," but more figuratively means, "Times Gone By" or "Times Long Past." The song asks whether old friends and times will be forgotten and promises to remember people of the past with fondness, "For auld lang syne, we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet." It is simply a song about remembering old friends and the times spent with them.
Mr. New Year's Eve, Guy Lombardo
So how did a simple Scottish folksong become the most famous song of New Year's? That's simple. You can give the credit to Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadian Band. When they took the stage at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City on New Year's Eve, 1929, their performance was broadcast on the first nationally televised New Year's Eve radio program. At midnight, during a transition between the broadcasts, they chose to play an old Scottish folk song Lombardo had first heard from Scottish immigrants in Ontario–"Auld Lang Syne."
Lombardo and his band continued to broadcast their rendition of "Auld Lang Syne" on radio, and later on television earning him the name "Mr. New Year's Eve." The song became such a New Year's tradition that Life magazine wrote "if Lombardo failed to play 'Auld Lang Syne,' the American public would not believe that the new year had really arrived."
Why Do We Drop the Ball on New Year's Eve?
When Adolph Ochs purchased the floundering New York Times in 1896, he made it his mission to make the newspaper the number one paper in all of New York. As the paper succeeded, he moved the entire staff into a new shiny building in the middle of Manhattan, to a place called Longacre Square, later renamed Times Square. To celebrate the 1904 New Year and to show off the Times' new digs, Ochs threw a lavish New Year's celebration that was to be "the talk of the town." He hosted an all-day street festival climaxing with a midnight fireworks display from the base of the Times building. Reportedly at midnight "the joyful sound of cheering, rattles and noisemakers from the over 200,000 attendees could be heard from as far away as Croton-on-Hudson, thirty miles north." Despite the city later putting a halt to the fireworks display, the Times Square New Year's Eve bash was born.
Even without fireworks, Ochs found a new way New Yorkers could celebrate the incoming new year in style and with glorious light. In 1907, Ochs commissioned the building of an electrically-lit ball to be lowered on the flagpole of the roof of One Times Square (the new name of the newspaper's building). Incandescent light bulbs were a relatively new invention, having just begun being mass-marketed to consumers around the turn of the twentieth century. The newness of this innovation appealed to Adolph Ochs and he fashioned his "New Year's Eve Ball" with one hundred 25 watt light bulbs. The rest of the ball was made out of iron and wood. Though it was only five feet in diameter, it weighed nearly 700 pounds. Ochs had a young immigrant metalworker by the name of Jacob Starr, working for the sign company Artkraft Strauss, make the ball. Starr was also given the responsibility of lowering it at the specified time. On New Year's Eve, 1907, at exactly the stroke of midnight, Starr lowered the ball signifying that it was 1908 and the beginning of a New Year's tradition.
The ball's construction over time, in many ways, mimicked the history of industry in the United States. In 1920, they would replace the original ball with one made solely out of iron, showing off the steel strength of America. The ball didn't drop in 1942 and 1943 -the only time it didn't drop in the last 110 years- due to wartime light restrictions and industrial production focused on the war efforts.
In 1955, the heavy iron ball was replaced by a much lighter aluminum ball weighing in at a shade over two hundred pounds. Rhinestones, strobe lights, and a computerized lighting system were added in 1995.
The new millennium brought a new ball outfitted with 504 Waterford Crystals, 168 halogen bulbs, and spinning mirrors. The weight of the ball jumped from two hundred pounds to over 1,070 pounds.
Today, the ball is twelve feet in diameter, more than double its original 1907 size. The new ball weighs in at over five metric tons and features LEDs and computerized lighting patterns. It sits on top of One Times Square year-round for tourists and locals alike to marvel at, while it waits its next opportunity to ring in the new year.
Why is New Year's Day January 1st?
The simple answer is because Julius Caesar said so.
Long before Caesar's time, date keeping was dicey. By the time Caesar came around, the Roman calendar was in shambles, and in 46 BC, Julius Caesar commanded that it be changed. One of the changes Caesar implemented set the New Year to January 1. Why? Since 153 BC, January 1 was the day new consuls in Rome took office and Romans had commonly used the name of the two consuls to identify a specific year in question. Thus, by officially making January 1 start the New Year, it simply lined up with the consular year.
Traditional Southern-style Hoppin' John
Why do Southerners eat Black-eyed Peas on New Year's Day?
The traditional Southern New Year's dish of Hoppin' John (black-eyed peas, rice, bacon and onion) is eaten to usher in a new year filled with prosperity and good fortune. An old southern saying goes, "Eat peas on New Year's day to have plenty of everything the rest of the year." The peas are symbolic of pennies or other coins. Old-time southern cooks might add one to the pot while cooking or leave a penny under the dinner bowls. Traditional sides served with Hoppin' John are cooked greens (mustard, collard, kale, even cabbage) since green is the color of money and cornbread since its deep yellow color is reminiscent of gold. To ensure a happy New Year, its tradition to leave three peas on your plate, one each for a year filled with good luck, prosperity and romance.

Planting herbs is not only fun, it is a great way to have fresh flavors on hand at all times. You can plant your own herbs indoors or on a patio, and enjoy their fresh flavor all season long. Take a look at how with a few simple supplies, we made our own DIY herb planter. These planters can be personalized according to what herb it is holding, and it is a fun and decorative way to grow. Not to mention, kids will have a blast making this with you.
Choose a spray paint color that appeals to you. We picked gold for a bold statement, but you can use any color you wish.
1. Begin by laying the magnets on a piece of old newspaper. Spray them with two coats of paint, allowing them plenty of time to dry in between each coat.
2. In your metal planter, lay a layer of gravel or rock. This will help the plant to drain.
3. Add a layer of soil, topping it with your herb plant. Pack more soil around the plant so the roots are covered well and the plant is protected.
4. Once your magnets are dry, use them as plant markers. You can stick the letters right on the front of the planter, spelling out the name of the plant. For our aloe plant, we spelled out "ALOE" so it was easy to identify it from the others.
5. You can change the letters from season to season as your plants change, placing your letter magnets on the refrigerator or any metal surface in between plantings.
Now all you need to do is put your herb planter in a sunny window. Water it regularly and in no time you will be picking fresh herbs for all of your cooking needs.
Give this easy herb planter a try. Being an easy craft idea for kids, you could have fun together as family making this!
And you are sure to keep your herbs organized in a way that is fun and decorative!
VEry cute herb container, I really need to get some planted.
Lovely idea! I love the rustic feel of the metal container. It goes so well with the aloe plant!
What a neat item, my kids would love this!
I love how your aloe planter turned out… it looks so cute. And the magnet idea is genius! My daughter would love decorating a planter like this.
This is really neat. I would never have thought of using the magnetic letters, and I just so happen to have a metal container and gold spray paint on hand!
What a marvelous idea and how fun! Perfect for kiddos!
