Kenya would eat an entire jar of homemade cranberry sauce on its own if given the chance -- he actually tried to do it once last year when I wasn't looking. I didn't have to worry about him getting his share of antioxidants for a while because he basically got a month's worth in that one sitting.
When I was growing up, my mother always used to make a cranberry dish for Thanksgiving. This is my twist on her recipe which includes bite-sized pieces of celery, apple and onions.
With grated apple to give extra texture and a whole cinnamon stick for added flavor, my little guy has had sights on this new cranberry creation from the moment I started working on it. I am happy to report that Kenya would happily eat this Cranberry Apple Chutney all on its own with relish (get it? Chutney? With relish?), but with all the turkey testing I've been doing recently, he's been enjoying it the way I intended_ alongside a nice slice of turkey.
Check out the links below for more holiday side dishes!
Looks really yummy! I wouldn't have thought of the onion and celery either, but I'll have to give it a try. I bet it's delicious with turkey. I was assigned to bring cranberry sauce for my toddler's class Harvest Feast today, so I made up a cranberry apple sauce (I didn't want to serve them the cups of sugar that are in the usual cranberry sauce). I used 10 honeycrisp apples (another sweet variety would work too), 2 cups fresh (or frozen, I tried it both ways) cranberries, 1/4 cup apple cider, 1/4 cup real maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon - let that simmer away on the stove and mash. It's delicious, and my little guy can't get enough of it!
sounds yummy! i'm going to try this for thanksgiving dinner!
YUM!! I'm totally trying that combo. Thanks for the great idea!
No liquid at all? My older daughter's favorite dish is my cranberry/apple sauce but I always use about a cup of liquid (orange juice or apple cider). Yours looks much thicker which would be preferred but I am curious on the cranberries cooking and \"popping\" without the liquid. Also, do you mash it up quite a bit before serving?
Do you list these recipes under age categories? I will be starting my 5 month old on food next month and would love to know which recipes I can start out with.
Here's a list of recipes that are perfect for new eaters. http://b12.ba4.myftpupload.com/category/recipes-6-9-months/ I would start with single fruits and veggies and then once your baby has tried a few things you can mix them together. What a fun time, enjoy and feel free to ask any questions!
I want a free Macbook Pro and I only want to give out my address for them to ship it to. I dont want to give out much else.
I just made this and it is really good!! I am not really a cranberry fan, either. I halfed the recipe, as I only had 7oz. of cranberries. I did add a splash of water halfway because it was sticking to my stainless pan, but prob wasn't necessary. Love this, thanks for the great recipe!!
I made it for Thanksgiving and it was delicious!!!!!
I made it for Thanksgiving as well and 100% agree - so yummy!
After Thanksgiving a local grocery store was clearing out their cranberries for 50 cents a bag. I bought 2 bags and made this recipe (3/4 c. sugar was sweet enough for us) with one and froze the other. My husband and I LOVE this sauce served with salmon. I just took out the frozen cranberries and made another batch. If I had realized how delicious and easy this was, I would have bought more cranberries!


A combination of fear about Brexit and the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the financial services sector has triggered a period of unease that is manifesting itself as a recruitment crisis.
Jobs could be lost overseas or could be taken over by AI, which is making the sector appear unattractive to would-be candidates.
A recent survey of the top financial services firms highlighted the three major issues facing the industry: the retention of existing key talent, attracting new talent, and providing leadership development. How are financial services businesses overcoming these issues?
Steps are underway to improve retention rates for key staff through performance management processes. This leaves the problem of attracting new talent into the organisation, with most of the firms surveyed agreeing that talent sourcing was a high priority. Perhaps surprisingly, the use of formal assessment tools in the hiring process is not widespread.
Software has been designed that can predict how a candidate will perform and how they will engage with your organisation. It can also indicate whether their values fit with those of your business and indicate how likely will be to stay with you. This is a big improvement on the static tests of the last decade.
The next step is to consider where your candidates will take these tests. By 2020, half the workforce will comprise millennials, who have grown up using mobile technology in every aspect of their lives. It makes sense that they would want to access employment assessments from their mobile phones, yet the survey showed that less than one in ten firms offer the assessments for mobile devices. This is a glaring opportunity that few are seizing and that could give firms the competitive advantage.
Gone are the days of recruiters relying on their 'gut feeling'; today, a methodological approach that is objective is preferred. Assessment tools enable you to create a profile of a candidate's personality and work style in addition to their ability to do the job.
Digital competency and agility are key skills that every organisation needs, and where better to assess this than in an online assessment test through a mobile device? In the future, gamified assessments could become the norm.
It is not all about the candidates impressing you; in addition, you will need to impress them with your high-tech, slick assessment experience. You can even carry out your own analysis of how your assessment tool is performing by comparing the predicted and actual performance of the selected candidate.
Assessments are not just for recruitment; for example, they can help in the selection of candidates for promotion to leadership roles. This is a crucial decision that you need to get right if you are going to safeguard the success and reputation of your organisation; however, less than half of the firms surveyed used assessments to manage promotion activities and the majority did not utilise computer assessments as part of their leadership development programmes.
The message here is that financial services businesses are missing out on technology that is already available and that could help them greatly in the recruitment and retention of key talent.

How "Love & Peace" Kills Animals
admin Animal Liberation Animal State Censorship Political Prisoners January 30, 2018 | 0
"Species membership is not a valid reason to place anyone outside the circle of moral compassion or beyond the reach of effective defense."
~Lindy Greene
by Lindy Greene & Camille Marino
originally published november 13, 2017
Globalization is predicated upon slave labor. Both animate and inanimate resources are expended to the point of exhaustion in pursuit of profit. The planet is being plundered to serve the self-anointed "superior species." And it remains abundantly clear that our current course is unsustainable. Feeding and lubing the machinery of the entire system are the misery and blood of its vast nonhuman slave force. We were taught twenty centuries ago the myopic and destructive view that the other species with whom we share the Earth evolved for the sheer and sole purpose of serving us and that such servitude is the birthright of the privileged "master race." Whether it's factory farming contributing 37% of methane gases to global warming according to the UN or the federally-funded animal experimentation industry, it is extremely difficult to find any segment of the economy that does not commoditize and exploit members of other species for entertainment, sport, fashion, food, or testing. Subverting the integral animal economy is vital if we will ever free ourselves from the entrenched teamwork of corporate overlords and unprincipled governments.
The marriage of corporation and state, Mussolini's definition of fascism, is epitomized by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) – a group of corporate lobbyists and elected officials who serve big business profiteers. ALEC is the engine running the multi-billion-dollar prison / industrial complex. It's single-minded mission in that endeavor is to maximize profits by keeping citizens jailed, on parole or probation, and otherwise inextricably ensnared in the judicial system. And ALEC is also the author of the federal 2007 Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act, the language of which conveys that any animal rights activist who affects the profits of an animal industry can be prosecuted for terrorism. Thus, any effective activist may be a terrorist by statute. And, at the state level, we see political free speech consistently reframed by the courts as terrorism with the speakers charged as stalkers. (By the way, there are actual laws on the books declaring "edgy speech" to be just "political hyperbole" and perfectly legal. Those same books also state that First Amendment activity does not fall under the legal definition of "stalking." But judges apply (or fail to apply) laws as they see fit. It costs thousands of dollars to file motions, which are almost universally denied, for review of their decisions.) And, according to the New York Times, ALEC is behind the state legislatures' trend to make photographing industrial animal abuse a crime ("ag-gag" laws). Let this penetrate: Animal abuse is not only protected, but exposing it is prosecutable. (Such punitive measures are not new. Anyone caught in the antebellum South helping Black slaves to escape from the plantations risked hanging.)
The only response to the all-out war waged against animals and the activists who fight for them is revolution. Animal activists are fighting not only against industrial abuse and the corporate-state overlords that protect and enforce it, but also against a society that does not understand (or care) that the animal slave industries are the core of all oppressive structures that likewise enslave and oppress people. And until society comes around, Animal Liberation activists need to adopt the mentality of warriors and revolutionaries.
An accurate and easy way for activists to gauge their own performance is to ask these two questions: "What would the animals want me to do?" and "What would the abusers want me to do?" It isn't difficult to imagine the answer to the first one. The animals would undoubtedly say, "Whatever it takes to free me!" Put yourself in their place. What if it was you being tortured in a vivisection lab? Would you want activists to sing "Kumbaya" and leaflet – or tear the hellhole down brick by brick and pull you out? Okay, we can't literally tear down a building with our bare hands – but you get the point!
The response to the second question should be just as easy. The abusers would respond, "Be as ineffective as possible." It's clear that every new statute passed is designed precisely to make this the case, as well as inspire fear. If you were an abuser, what kind of opposition would you want to face? People holding candlelight vigils and chalking polite messages in pretty pastels on the sidewalk? Or militant above-ground protesters naming, shaming, blaming, and defaming you before your neighbors and underground operatives damaging or destroying your personal possessions and laboratory equipment? The answer is obvious. And, therefore, it's our responsibility to lose our fear and transfer it where it belongs – to the guilty! When the movement was militant, these psychopaths were royally scared. Some quit and looked for different lines of work, while others were deterred from entering abusive vocations. That's the way it should be!
The mainstream Animal Liberation community seems hell-bent on using the struggle in a quest for self-promotion, political agendas, and public relations at the expense of the animals for whom they allege to fight. And the forces that guide the movement have had the net effect of pacifying activism and rendering it impotent and laughable. (But, hey! No one can label it violent!) The state has done its job so well that activists now moderate themselves. Enough! Let them call us stalkers. Let them call us terrorists. As long as they call us effective!
Universal love and respect are at heart noble and enviable aspirations. But, like anything else, they can be carried to the point of absurdity. In reality, it is neither possible nor appropriate to love and respect everyone. Love and respect have to be earned. In what universe does it make sense to love and respect evildoers? Under what system of ethics is it logical to condone and make excuses for evildoing? Why is it "politically incorrect" to be angry? Anger is the normal response to injustice. It's a powerful motivating force. When used correctly, it inspires us to reduce or eliminate wrongdoing. Passivity is actually another form of violence: It encourages ineffectiveness which, in turn, emboldens abusers to continue and escalate their atrocities. The animals are left without help or hope.
Let's take a brief look at psychopathology. It is a congenital and irremediable disorder whose hallmark characteristic is the lack of what the rest of us know and commonly experience as conscience. Stated another way, it is the inability to feel empathy or remorse. Many psychopaths are already manifesting evidence of their disease by age four as they torture and murder younger siblings and family pets. Take note of the following caveat: You cannot appeal to a conscience that doesn't exist! Polite debate, exchanging vegan recipes, and any number of other "feel-good" activities aren't going to make a dent in animal abuse. History has demonstrated which tactics work: We know for a fact that abusers are cowards who fear exposure, confrontation, and an organized community of activists focused on and dedicated to stopping them. This must be the direction we embrace!
There are internal and external forces at work that serve the unwavering objective of muzzling the movement. Repression is a response to effectiveness. It should never be feared, but rather adapted to and even welcomed. And when one of us is accused of being a stalker or terrorist and temporarily in the hands of the state, we should see 50 more stepping up to take his or her place!
Moderate elements in the activist community conduct themselves exactly as the animal abusers want them to in a form of straightforward co-option. Make no mistake: Our welfarists are in bed with industrial abusers. The deal is simple: Keep the grassroots (who genuinely have an effect) away and, in return, the abusers will give the moderates a few crumbs; debates, an occasional release to a sanctuary, or a seat on an ethics board. If the grassroots becomes a threat, the abusers will simply turn to their colleagues – mainstream animal rights orgs – and threaten to withdraw the "perks" if they don't get the "renegades" under control. We consistently see their moderate counterparts then turn on and blame the grassroots for "hurting the movement." Whether it's the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS ) offering rewards to catch and prosecute Animal Liberation Front activists or Stop Animal Experimentation Now (SAEN) publicly condemning confrontational activists and blaming them for vivisectors' killing their victims, the purpose is clear: The animal exploitation industry and our own cadre of mainstream animal welfarists must not disturb the status quo. Speaking of Research, a pro-vivisection group, explicitly lays out this objective: "We encourage all individuals from both sides of the debate to clearly and openly condemn them [grassroots activists]. AR extremism has the effect of overshadowing the important debate on the need for animals in research, scaring many scientists [emphasis added] into silence…" Has the movement been infiltrated? Hell! We're so busy policing ourselves, does it even need to be?
Let's understand exactly how we harm the animals by promoting only "love and peace." The net effect of passivity is to condone state-sponsored and industrial violence while condemning any aggressive actions to stop it. No one in their right mind would seriously suggest that the Allies were the "violent" parties in stopping the Nazis and shutting down the concentration camps! Yet, the censure of assertive tactics is the prevalent nonsense guiding the movement today. It allows activists to defend inaction and impotence. The only thing that helps animals is handicapping, stopping, and holding abusers accountable. That means confrontation, escalation, and employing coherent aggressive tactics – not debating, chatting, talking nicely, and praying for sadistic sociopaths to have a "change of heart."
When we talk about "revolution," we mean a profound overhaul of attitude within our own community. This is the only way we will ever see an insurrection of action. We have to dismiss the patriarchs and politicians and once again allow our own grassroots militants to rise up and lead the movement. It's time to step away from fantasy and ideality and into reality. And here is as good a place as any to declare that this essay is not advocating violence or illegal activity, as our detractors will predictably claim. It is an academic discussion about being more effective and less passive. Nowhere in the composition does either author imply, request, or demand violence or lawbreaking.
Industrialized animal abuse is the child of corporate and government tyranny in the endless pursuit of profit. Legislators and law enforcement personnel are also pawns in the game as they pander to the fascist partnership by criminalizing people and actions who or which seek to expose or protest against its systemic treachery. And the general population is complicit by being indifferent and apathetic. These factors play a critical role in perpetuating the forces of oppression and crippling those who would oppose them.
For some inexplicable reason, it has become "politically correct" to be submissive. The abusers know today that the worst they can expect from activists is candlelight vigils and prayers, and they fearlessly continue and escalate their abuse. The most effective form of control is to convince the opposition that it is "morally wrong" or "socially unseemly" to mount an effective defense against oppression; that abuse must be met with compliance, obedience, tolerance, and acceptance; that abusers must never be made to feel uncomfortable, afraid, upset, or ashamed; and that people who burn, suffocate, electrocute, starve, and beat animals are to be shown "love" and "respect." There's a name for this: It's called "sympathizing with the enemy." And, during wartime, it's considered treason and punishable by death. Evil should be met with outrage, a cry for accountability, and the vow to implement reform.
If there are any medical advancements from vivisection, they are few and far between and could more readily and quickly have been developed by clinical research with humans. Vivisectors know that their immoral and scientifically fraudulent craft actually retards medical progress, but that's the goal. There's no market for prevention or cure: The medical industry is the grateful beneficiary when we become sick with chronic degenerative diseases requiring hospitalizations, surgeries, and long-term use of pharmaceuticals.
"Vivisectors are no different from other serial killers like Ted Bundy or Charles Manson. They're just smart enough to know that if they do to humans what they do to animals, they will face life imprisonment or the business end of a lethal injection barrel." ~Lindy Greene
"All it takes for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing." ~Edward Burke.

Seattle sax star Jeff Kashiwa headlines WSU Wine and Jazz Festival
By Eric Degerman on June 21, 2016

RICHLAND, Wash. – The Columbia Valley's world-class wine industry has set the stage for saxophonist Jeff Kashiwa from contemporary jazz super group The Rippingtons to perform Saturday night at Washington State University's branch campus in Richland.
Kashiwa headlines the second annual WSU Wine and Jazz Festival in conjunction with the Auction of Washington Wines as 25 wineries will pour to raise money for the school's viticulture and enology program. Tickets range from $25 to $125 with the setting between the Columbia River and the state-of-the-art Ste. Michelle Wine Estates WSU Wine Science Center.
"Every time we have performed at wineries the people have been so receptive," Kashiwa wrote in an email interview with Great Northwest Wine. "Spending a beautiful day at a winery puts everyone in a great mood. It's the perfect combination – wine and music – especially jazz."
This performance is one of the shorter business trips for Kashiwa, who grew up in Shoreline, Wash., and continues to call Seattle home. His fondness for Chateau Ste. Michelle includes a number of shows with The Rippingtons at the Woodinville winery's acclaimed amphitheater.
Next month at Seattle landmark Jazz Alley, Kashiwa rejoins The Rippingtons and the group's founding guitarist/keyboardist/songwriter Russ Freeman for six shows. Neither Kashiwa nor Freeman wear their hair as long – or feathered – as they did for their West Coast group more than 25 years ago.
"I am no longer a full-time member of the Rippingtons, but step in to do shows from time to time when my schedule permits," Kashiwa wrote. "I am busy learning all the material from their new CD."
Freeman helped elevate the genre's profile in 1986 when he assembled pianist David Benoit, keyboardist Gregg Karukas and saxophonists Brandon Fields, David Koz and then-emerging Seattle superstar Kenny Gorelick for The Rippingtons' debut album, Moonlighting.
Chart-topping success and demand soon prompted Freeman to tour in support of that studio work, and he recruited Kashiwa to The Rippingtons in 1989 when Fields left the group. Kashiwa earned immediate acclaim and remained with The Rippingtons for a decade.
Kashiwa goes onto solo career, teaching
[youtube id="r7XOKR3lwX0″ width="620″ height="360″]
This month, The Rippingtons release their 21st album in conjunction with their 30th anniversary, and it's ironic that Kashiwa is stepping on to the Jazz Alley stage in place of Fields, who returned to the group and whose work is featured on the new True Stories album.
However, Kashiwa's résumé and accomplishments allow him to stand out on his own. A product of the famed Berklee College of Music in Boston and graduate of Long Beach State, he has gone onto a successful solo career while also performing with his band Coastal Access, collaborating with standouts Steve Cole and Kim Waters to form The Sax Pack and teaching music technology at Shoreline Community College. Kashiwa's solo projects traditionally debut in the top 10 on Billboard's chart for contemporary jazz.
"I'm busy working on the next CD, which will be the 10th release of original material," Kashiwa said. "My previous 10th CD was a "Best of," so this is the real 10th solo CD.
"I have also been busy with The Sax Pack," he continued. "We just finished our 10th anniversary tour last year and look forward to continuing the party."
Despite the hectic schedule, the Shorecrest High School grad recently completed his sixth year of teaching at nearby Shoreline CC.
"It has been a wonderful experience, and I very much enjoy working with the students on all aspects of music," Kashiwa said. "It is hard to balance touring and teaching. Many times I'll head to the airport right after class on Thursday or Friday then return on Monday morning and head straight back to class!"
And it seems as if Kashiwa also is learning from the combination of tutoring and touring.
"I gain unique and positive perspectives from teaching and performing," he said. "I focus on being more patient and helpful when out in a professional setting. While at school, I hold the students to a more professional level of conduct and performance. So both worlds complement each other."
Natural connection of jazz, wine

Fans of Kashiwa who make it to Saturday's show should raise a toast to Michele Abrams, principal of BrightStar Entertainment in the Lake Washington town of Kenmore.
"Jeff is a longtime friend I've presented many times," said Abrams, who plans to attend the Richland festival. "My company has presented contemporary jazz artists for over 20 years, and while I present all genres of music, jazz is definitely a passion."
Abrams said she hopes to generate support for more shows in the Tri-Cities and throughout Washington wine country east of the Cascades.
"I'm personally excited to help the Auction of Washington Wines and WSU build upon and expand the Wine and Jazz Festival as there are limited outdoor venues in the greater Seattle area," she said. "We, of course, have Chateau Ste. Michelle, however they do not allow independent producers like myself to utilize their stage for concerts. We used to have an annual jazz festival in Seattle that sold out every year, however our jazz radio station (KWJZ 98.9 FM) went away – and so did the festival."
And if Saturday's event at WSU is well-supported, there's a chance for a headliner of Kashiwa's caliber next year. Abrams works with a long list of Grammy-nominated jazz recording artists, including keyboardist and former Portland resident Jeff Lorber, Mindi Abair, Jonathan Butler, Euge Groove, Paul Jackson, Jr., Eric Marienthal – as well as Kashiwa's The Sax Pack and Karukas.
"I have many relationships with jazz artists who are into wine – even produce and sell their own wine, like saxophonist Dave Koz," Abrams said.

Discussion in 'Yard Sale / Wanted' started by Dipstick, Nov 9, 2018.
Hi all, one more casing sale I can offer! All pieces are new, and price is US dollars, shipping included.
3 grain, with one retaining ring.
New price for all the pieces would be over $100. I am offering it shipped for $75.
Holiday sales are good, and one might match this, but I don't think any will beat it...so here ya go!
Interested without spacers or the DAT? Make me an offer!
Ill take it if sale falls though!
Hi Bruce, I was talking with a friend from Alberta who now resides here in Florida, his name is Armand. I told him I just sent you funds in the mail and he said it takes 10 days to get to Canada; is this true? It's not going around the world, just our neighbors.
Take in account Canada postal strike also.
It'll get here, just not super fast.
Good. Guess we can mark this sold.


It was a beautiful day here in the Ozarks and I took advantage of it to get a new mosaic damascus billet started.
I haven't yet decided if I want to make this into a explosion pattern or into a diamond. Either way I will do either two or three 4-way welds on it.
I've yet to decide what style of knife to make from it. I started this one primarily to heat up the shop today before starting work on my latest orders as it was 30 degrees when I started and my only heat for the shop is the forge.
I haven't planned any specific project for this steel yet. It will probably end up being a large modern style Bowie with either ironwood or blackwood for a handle.
Ironwood wood be very nice. But yet so would the Blackwood lol.
What I'm saying is to make the pattern go from the center out symmetrically or to let the pattern form a square.
Oooh, that's pretty sharp already. It would be nice with just a 4-way at this point. I'm excited to see where you take it beyond that.
If you square on the bias at say 1.5", do you start with a square bar much larger than that?
The bar was approx. 2" square when I started squaring on the bias.
After two 4-way welds this billet is now in the tempering oven in preparation for tile cutting tomorrow. It has a couple of small flaws on this end. I don't expect them to extend very deep. I may need to trim a little more off of it before tile welding.
I think these tiled mosaics work best on contemporary Bowie styles myself, BUT: how do you think a Bowie #1 would fly with that sort of pattern and a totally traditional handle? I suspect if the pattern is clean and the hilt immaculate (which you are very good at doing, BTW) that it would be a great cross-trend piece.
Thanks, Alan. You know me, I love making cross-trend Bowies. I would be a little leary doing it on a Bowie #1 though. That's such an iconic knife that the historical buyers might baulk at changing it. I've never tried a Damascus blade on a James Black knife. However I remember years ago when J.R. Cook did it on a Carrigan knife one year when we tied for best historical at the Arkansas Show so that shows that people aren't totally opposed to taking liberties with historicals. I have done it on both Schively & Goergen knives with good success.
Dang. It's a Mosaic yes but the pattern just kind of explodes out at you and says Hello. Very nice.
I'm assuming that is still pre-heat treat? The contrast is better than what I am used to seeing before heat treating.
I got a start on the handle for this one today. When I say a start, there will be an additional 16 pieces to it counting the pins.
I'll try to update as I go.
That wood looks good!! What is it? Desert Ironwood?
Another one Gary??? We gotta get Gary's name changed to the King of Bowie's. The blade and wood both look good.
The weather was pretty bitter today but I managed to get in a little handle work. For the inlaid escutcheons & handle spacer I used some old mastodon scraps (they say there's no such thing as scrap ivory ) The next step on this one will be to complete the six piece frame tang with file work & bluing.
Great stuff as always Gary. Some day I'd like to see one of these in a nice long dagger.
Thanks, Joshua. What is it that you want to see in a dagger?
That is just spectacular. The only thing that might improve that, would be a fish mouth weld at the tip to help maintain the pattern.

Excellent choice and communication when contacted but rings took longer to arrive than the expected delivery shown. Wrong size rings sent for trial so concerned actual rings wouldn't fit. Luckily they do!

China increase size of curling squad in preparation for Beijing 2022
China has expanded its national curling squad in preparation for their home Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
Three men's and women's teams and 10 mixed doubles pairings have been training at the country's National Winter Sports Training Center in the capital.
This follows an extensive selection process last year which saw 100 Chinese curlers compete in qualification trials.
It is hoped that Beijing 2022 will serve as a catalyst to boost the development of curling in China.
The country's sole Olympic medal in the sport was women's bronze at Vancouver 2010.
"Great changes have taken place in the Beijing Olympic cycle," said men's captain Ba Dexin, as reported by Xinhua.
"This brand new training venue has been built for the 2022 Games.

"In the past, we had to travel around China and overseas to prepare for the Winter Olympics, and it was very tiring.
"But now we have top training facilities here at Shougang."
China's wheelchair curlers won the country's first Winter Paralympic medal of any colour when they scooped gold at Pyeongchang 2018.
"This time there are more than 100 players coming to the qualification trials," Ba added.
"It's the first time in the history of Chinese curling that we have had such a large pool of talent.
"In previous Olympic cycles, we only focused on one team to prepare for the Olympics, but now we have three teams to choose from."
Curling at Beijing 2022 will take place at the Water Cube aquatics venue used at the Beijing 2008 Summer Games.
It will be rebranded as the "Ice Cube".

Charnwood carbon neutral plan 2030
Evidence-based actions to achieve carbon neutrality
Charnwood Borough Council is committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2030
The fourth largest borough in the country by population, Charnwood is based in the market town of Loughborough in England's East Midlands.
In 2019, the Borough Council passed a motion to achieve carbon neutrality across its assets and operations by 2030.
Urban Foresight was commissioned to develop a Carbon Neutral Plan to prioritise opportunities for the borough to cut emissions in the near, medium and long-term.
Baseline Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon emissions were established. This categorised the different types of carbon emissions the council creates in its own operations, across its wider assets, and its value chain.
This analysis provided a basis for mandatory emissions reporting. It also established an evidence-based framework to identify projects to achieve the ambition of carbon neutrality.
Priorities for the borough were established through an extensive process of stakeholder engagement. This included partners from across the council, the wider public sector, local businesses, and the community.
Stakeholders were engaged in an exploratory workshop and a series of structured 1-2-1 interviews. This approach helped to secure the buy-in and support from across the council that would be necessary to drive long-lasting change.
The options developed were grounded in insights from the audits and engagement process. These were iterated with the council's delivery team to ensure that the Carbon Neutral Plan was sensitive to local constraints and concerns.
A roadmap of prioritised actions was finalised in 2020. Urban Foresight was subsequently commissioned to refresh the Carbon Neutral Plan in 2021. We were also tasked to develop parallel roadmaps for the neighbouring local authorities in Melton Mowbray, and Oadby and Wigston.

Q: MD5 hashing 4-byte and 8-byte keys into 16-byte values; what's the chance of a collision? I have 232 4-byte keys that I'm hashing; what's the chance of collision?
What if I have 264 8-byte keys (not really storing every key, but I want to know the worst case)?

A: Per the wikipedia page on the Birthday Problem, a good first order approximation can be found with 1-e^(-(n^2)/d). Graphing this for your values gives this graph (logarithmic horizontal axis, I've zoomed in on where the probability starts to spike). Note that this is only an approximation, and should be considered conservatively (ie, the real probability may be somewhat higher, but it should be in the right ballpark).

A: What are you doing with the hash codes? If you're using them to work out whether two pieces of data are the same, an MD5 hash is pretty good, though only if you are working with data that is not being created by malicious entities. (Cryptographic purposes need better hash algorithms precisely in order to deal with the "malicious attacker" problem.)
If you're using them for building a map (i.e., you're building a hash table) it's usually better to use a cheap hash and come up with a way to mitigate the costs of collision (e.g., by hanging a linked list off the hash table and resizing/rebuilding when the average weight gets too large).

Sea Kayaker magazine, Mountain to Sound Outfitters and the West Seattle Chamber of Commerce announce a new paddlesports event in Seattle, WA. Greg Whitaker, founder and CEO of Mountain to Sound Outfitters announced today a new world-class sea kayaking and stand up-paddling (SUP) event to be held June 25, and 26 of 2011 at West Seattles Alki Beach, exact location to be announced in January 2011.
The Northwest Paddling Festival will showcase on-water demonstrations, on-water instruction, races, classroom lectures and live music. The location has a stunning view of downtown Seattle and has ready access to the nightlife of Alki Beach.
Mountain to Sound Outfitters is Seattles newest specialty sporting goods store focused on paddlesports, snowsports and skating. With two shops in West Seattle, including an on-water rental facility, Mountain to Sound Outfitters provides tours, lessons, rentals and retail sales.
After the demise of two major paddlesports events in as many years, the Pacific Northwest has been left with a huge void, said Whitaker. We have been working closely with Sea Kayaker magazine in that time on how fill the void. Sea Kayaker has been a respected fixture in the paddlesports community for over 26 years, and is the voice of authority in the sport of sea kayaking. We have recently created a partnership with the West Seattle Chamber of Commerce that provides an essential link to the host community. We are extremely proud to announce now that everything has finally come together to create this event.
The West Seattle event boasts something that other previous paddlesports events in this area have not been able to provide: timing and location. The event will take place the first weekend of summer after Seattle schools have let out for the year, and at a time when on-water paddlesports events have come to an end. Unlike many other paddlesports events, the Northwest Paddling Festival will be immediately adjacent to the resources a major metropolitan area can provide. Alki Beach is readily accessible not only by car and public transit, but also by the King County Water Taxi from downtown Seattle. Walk by traffic along the beach during the summer is numbered in the tens of thousands per day and is a destination for active Seattle residents.
The Northwest Paddling Festival event will provide an opportunity for the industry to showcase its products and for a boat-loving population a chance to try the best in sea kayaking and stand-up paddling equipment.

It's the first town in post-Franco Spain to have given a plurality of its votes to a far-right party.
If there's one place in Andalusia that exemplifies the reasons behind the shock emergence of Vox as a political force that's El Ejido.
Known for having one of the largest concentrations of greenhouses in the world, this farming town in Almería was the only municipality in Andalusia where a plurality of its voters (23 percent) picked the far-right newcomers in last Sunday's regional elections.
And whilst 7,377 out of 43,468 votes cast may not seem that alarming, the 90,000-strong town's shift to the right paints a clear picture of how and why Andalusia and Spain's political landscape is changing.
El Ejido has a long history of immigration but since this coastal plain near the city of Almería developed into one of the biggest greenhouse fruit and vegetable hubs in Europe in the 1980s, its foreign population has grown exponentially.
The latest municipal census put the number of registered foreigners at 25,700 - almost a third of the population – but local authorities say the figure is likely higher given the amount of all illegal seasonal workers in El Ejido.
Over the past three decades, El Ejido has seen some incidents of violence between locals and migrants (as well as making headlines for the exploitation of undocumented workers), but their reputation as a threat or burden to the system is perceived rather than being based on fact.
"The vast majority of Almería's migrant population is young and of working age, they don't use most social services," Andrés Sánchez Picón, an Economic History academic at Almería University told El País.
"They're seen as competition for the social services, educational facilities and healthcare."
That's despite the fact that 18.5 percent of foreigners in Spain make use of such public benefits compared to the 29.5 percent average for the Spanish population.
Another inconsistency with the Vox vote is the fact in El Ejido unemployment is 10 percent lower than the national average and that the migrant workforce is responsibe for keeping Almería's invaluable agricultural sector afloat.
But this far-right party's anti-immigration and anti-islamic rhetoric has still managed to strike a chord with voters in the southeastern town, perceiving its foreign population as a threat to their cultural identity.
Whereas Spain's socialist PSOE party has been the dominant force in Andalusian politics since the country became a democracy, Almería has remained a conservative PP stronghold for the past 14 years.
That political trend is more in line with its Levante neighbours along the Mediterranean – Murcia and Valencia – who have also traditionally voted for the Popular Party.
"They have different idiosyncrasies compared to other Andalusian territories," argues Iván Gómez, Chief Editor of local daily La Voz de Almería.
Andalusia may be a traditionally agricultural region with powerful left-leaning syndicates but the trend is again different in Almería and especially in El Ejido.
Since the advent of hydroponic systems that turned a once barren land into a mass food producer (dubbed the sea of plastic for how the area looks from the sky), El Ejido's farmers have gone from working the land themselves to telling others to.
"Going from running a small family farm to a medium sized agricultural business with workers changes people's perception of themselves and therefore also their political identity," argues academic Andrés Sánchez Picón when talking about the region, which has GDP per capita of €16,920, above Andalusia's average.
Vox's political message is aimed at these higher income Spaniards, especially those calling for a drop in taxes. The party headed by Santiago Abascal has promised voters a single income tax rate of 21 percent with only some exceptions.
Vox has capitalized on the drop in confidence in Spain's political status quo, a tactic used by numerous far-right parties across Europe in the past five years to charm disenfranchised voters.
In El Ejido and Andalusia's case, the right's split into three parties (PP, Ciudadanos …and now Vox) as well as the corruption-ridden socialist Junta that's overstayed its time in power are some of the chief reasons for the emergence of the far right.
"I guess people were fed up of the socialists ruling in Andalusia," an elderly resident of El Ejido told Spanish TV station Telecinco.
"I'm not at all surprised with the vote," another local added.
"This was the punishment vote for the Andalusian Junta, because we're the forgotten and ignored ones."

LOCAL FLAVOUR: Piatto
The staff that dines together stays together and vice-versa.
It's a good sign for patrons of Piatto that the food being served is the same delicious fare gobbled up by the restaurant's staff after the lunch and dinner rush. It's a daily tradition that will never change. They're "like family," says co-owner Tom Skrela of the 13 kitchen and wait staff, many who have been with Piatto since day one.
Named for the plates that deliver delicious Italian and Spanish fare to the table, Piatto opened in February 1989. It was an ominous start. By May the economy began to slide into recession.
"The timing for opening a second restaurant wasn't great for us," says Skrela, who co-owns Piatto with Sandro Julita. The pair previously ran a restaurant in another Mississauga landmark, Cherry Hill House. "It was a rough time in the beginning, but we turned it around," adds Skrela.
In times of struggle, strong families pull through because of dedication and hard work. The "regulars" are included in this definition of family. Some sidle up to the elegantly laid tables to enjoy Chef Fernando Garcia's creations once, twice, even three times a week. And their offspring continue the tradition. Many regulars followed Julita and Skrela to Piatto, after they sold Cherry Hill House 15 years ago.
Hard work has been a way of life for these business partners.
Skrela moved to Canada from his native Montenegro in 1969. He was just 18. From the start, restaurant life would consume his workdays. He spent six months at a Montreal restaurant before moving to Toronto to work as a busboy at the King Edward Hotel.
"Sandro and I have learned the business from the bottom up," says Skrela. Their respective resumes read like a high-end travelogue. The Hyatt, the Prince Hotel, Fenton's, Napoleon's and a gig at a hotel in Jamaica.
Skrela was a waiter and Julita a maitre d' at the Hyatt in Yorkville when they began talking about going into business together. More than 25 years later they remain good friends. "It's like a marriage, there's give and take and it works," says Skrela.
The menu and casual, yet elegant ambiance, provide ample evidence of this congenial relationship. The food is light Italian fare, a bow to Julita's heritage, with Spanish influences that pay homage to Chef Garcia's roots in Madrid.
In March, July and October, Chef Garcia expresses his creativity through his now famous "Semana Gastronomica" (gourmet week) featuring classic and modern Spanish cooking paired with wines from his native land. In May, Julita's passion for mushrooms takes centre stage. The self-described "mushroom freak" heads out into the woods looking for morels and other wild mushrooms and hands them over to Garcia to work his culinary magic on the appetizer, entrée and even dessert menus. The annual event has created a huge following among Piatto's patrons.The prix fixe menu is also reasonably priced too, adds Skrela, at around $35 to $40 for three courses.
Piatto's success may be due to hard work and the longevity of its staff, but ask those who have dined there and it is the friendly, attentive (but not overly so) wait staff and fresh-made gourmet food in generous portions at reasonable prices that get the rave reviews.

Nicola Anthony's Next Story
On May 13, 2019 By Newsvamp
If you've been following Newsnibbles since its inception way back in 2010, you may recall an interview we did with up and coming artist; Nicola Anthony – where she was making art from words.
Well, Nicola is now an internationally acclaimed artist, working out of Singapore, and has most recently been nominated for the Sovereign Asian Art Prize. She has taken some time out of her busy schedule to pop in for a cuppa and a chat with Badger, and we were absolutely thrilled to see her.
1. What have you been up to since we last spoke to you those many years ago?
Last year I travelled to the dusty streets of Yangon in Myanmar to open my exhibition and I spontaneously took up an artist residency / intervention at the historic Secretariat Building in Yangon. I inserted secret bits of art into crevices in the walls and made gold leaf patterns on unsuspecting surfaces. Last summer I travelled from my home in Singapore to live in Los Angeles while I installed a public sculpture at USCSF. This year I have set up a second studio space in Ireland, which recently adopted two stray kittens who now run fierce security outside the art studio.
2. What does being nominated for this prize mean, for you personally and for women in art as a whole?
Being shortlisted for the second year running is an honour. The prize is selected by rather an illustrious panel of judges, so their acknowledgement means a lot to me. The Sovereign Art Foundation has noticed in recent years the relatively high number of women nominees. When I looked at the numbers last year it was about 50%, which did not strike me as lots, but it was at that point that I was shaken into realising how much of a gender discrepancy there is in the arts – and, even more so in Asia where the gender inequality is much more pronounced. More men are awarded prizes and exhibitions, more trust is placed in a male name, and investigation worldwide has spotted the same old patterns. I had never suspected or expected gender discrimination in the past and so I had not noticed any bias. I started to rethink all those times when it was an epic struggle to get something done or to be listened to as an artist: I had always thought those occasions were because I look young, because I am short, or even to do with race – could it have been because I am a woman? I don't know, it's dangerous to speculate. So to answer your question, in the past I would not have thought my nomination meant anything for women in general – but, in the light of the last few years which revealed the little micro aggressions and imbalances that all of us have been blind to, I think it is a little step in the right direction.
3. Talk us through a kinetic light sculpture. What's that about, then?
Well, kinetic art is art which moves – it's exciting because you feel like you are making it come alive. I often use motors or clock mechanisms in my work to create cycles and rotation. This started because I am inspired by the moon, sun and stars, and the generations of humans who lived their lives guided by their overhead transit. I think adding light was an extension of that. What I discovered is that shining light behind my sculptures allows the shadows and light projections to be enhanced, and themselves move, shift, elongate and contract on the surface. 'Reclamation' is like a shadow show on the surface of a lit up mandala.
4. Where can we go to see your art?
I am represented by Intersections Gallery in Singapore and my work in progress is sometimes open to public at Inkwell studios and of course on my Instagram (if you know the special knock), or you can contact my studio in Dublin. Meanwhile I have permanent sculptures in Singapore and Los Angeles, and later this year in Colorado, visit anytime!
5. What's next on the agenda?
I am currently working on a new public sculpture – this will be my first permanent outdoor sculpture so it takes a lot more specific attention to materials and the sciencey bit. It will be installed in Aspen, and will be a metal swirl of words of love and Jewish blessings. It is a sculpture about speaking out and about kindness to others.
6. Do you have a favourite badger?
Apparently the Irish badger is called Meles meles, and I have not seen European Badgers for many years as I have been living in Asia. I am really hoping to see a Meles meles this year when I am spending time in Ireland.
7. Would you dress your pet?
I think it's cruel to dress animals unless they absolutely need it to keep them warm. My opinion is, whether or not your animal seems to like it, it is for the human's enjoyment and not for the animals and that should be a clue as to whether it is the kind thing to do. Even my two security cats are not asked to wear a uniform. (Rant over.)

Rick Griffin Posters
Rick Griffin (1944-1991) was the most influential and versatile of all the 60's rock poster artists. Already known for his cartoons and illustrations in surf magazines, he moved to San Francisco where he became a key figure in the worlds of psychedelic posters and underground comix. His covers for Quicksilver Messenger Service's first album and the Grateful Dead's Aoxomoxoa feature premier examples of his psychedelic typography. He designed the masthead of Rolling Stone Magazine and was a ground breaking painter of Christian mystical art.

Muriel Pénicaud (* 31. März 1955 in Versailles) ist eine französische Managerin und Politikerin (LREM). Sie ist seit September 2020 Ständige Vertreterin Frankreichs bei der OECD. Zuvor war sie von Mai 2017 bis Juli 2020 Arbeitsministerin in den Kabinetten Philippe I und II.

Leben und Karriere
Muriel Pénicaud wurde im März 1955 geboren. Ihren Hochschulabschluss machte sie an der Universität Paris-Nanterre. Einen weiteren Abschluss machte sie an der Wirtschaftshochschule Insead. Sie arbeitete u. a. als Beraterin für berufliche Weiterbildung unter der Arbeitsministerin Martine Aubry (1991–1993), als Vorstandsmitglied mit der Zuständigkeit für Personal bei den Großkonzernen Dassault Systèmes (2002–2008) und Danone (2008–2013). Sie war Mitglied des Verwaltungsrats beim Telekommunikationskonzern Orange (2011–2017) sowie zuletzt für den Flughafenbetreiber Aéroports de Paris (2014–2017).

Im Februar 2013 machte Pénicaud durch das Einlösen von Aktienoptionen einen Gewinn von 1,13 Mio. Euro. Am Tag zuvor hatte sie die Entlassung von 900 Danone-Mitarbeitern bekanntgegeben.

Staatspräsident Emmanuel Macron ernannte die bis dahin parteilose Pénicaud am 17. Mai 2017 zur Arbeitsministerin im Übergangskabinett Philippe I. Sie behielt das Amt auch nach der Parlamentswahl im Kabinett Philippe II. Anschließend trat sie Macrons Partei La République en Marche (LREM) bei. Bei der Regierungsumbildung im Juli 2020 (Kabinett Castex) wurde Pénicaud nicht mehr berücksichtigt und durch Élisabeth Borne abgelöst. Stattdessen wurde Pénicaud im September 2020 zur Ständigen Vertreterin Frankreichs bei der Organisation für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (OECD) in Paris ernannt.

Israeli Jets Hit Lebanon in Reprisal, 15 Killed
BEIRUT —
Israeli warplanes and helicopters attacked guerrilla strongholds in Lebanon today in retaliation for a bombing that killed seven Israeli soldiers. Fifteen people were killed and 35 wounded in the raids, police said.
The jets scored direct hits on ammunition dumps and training bases of the Iranian-backed Hezbollah, or Party of God, and Yasser Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization, said a police spokesman in Lebanon.
On Thursday, Israel's leaders vowed to retaliate against Hezbollah, which claimed responsibility for killing the Israeli soldiers Wednesday.
The police official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said 12 Israeli fighter-bombers were involved in simultaneous air strikes near Sidon, provincial capital of south Lebanon, and in the eastern town of Mashgharah.
Helicopter gunships later joined the attack on Mashgharah, police said.
Eight people were killed and 15 wounded in the Sidon area, and seven were killed and 15 wounded in Mashgharah, the spokesman said.
He said clouds of black smoke hung over the stricken bases on the outskirts of Sidon, 25 miles south of Beirut, and Mashgharah, 15 miles to the east.
The Israeli military command said the raids occurred about 10 a.m. and were aimed at "Palestinian targets in the Sidon area and Hezbollah command posts in the villages of Mashgharah and Al Luwayzah."
The village of Al Luwayzah is about two miles southeast of Metulla, where the car bombing occurred.
Lebanese police said an ammunition depot belonging to Hezbollah was hit near the Palestinian refugee camp of Miye ou Miye, on the outskirts of Sidon, and set off a series of explosions.
A Palestinian guerrilla training base was hit in Miye ou Miye, police said, and the planes also blasted targets in the nearby Ein el Hilwa refugee camp.
Warplanes fired at least 18 rockets into Mashgharah as the gunships strafed the town, police said.


Our handicraft development program started in 2006 to complement the Himalayan Homestays program, but it has now grown to become an integral part of our community-based conservation program and income-generation initiative. Under this program, we help local communities to promote their traditional arts and crafts, and also look for more modern crafts that have bigger markets. We train community members, especially women, to use natural dyes and local raw materials such as yak and sheep wool to create handcrafted products, which can be sold to guests who visit their homes. We have also introduced the dry needle-felting technique to create figurines of animals such as snow leopards, ibexes, yaks, horses, etc., thereby adding value to livestock and creating awareness about wild animals. Our products are sold via SLC-IT's souvenir shop and other outlets in Leh. We also sell these products during festivals such as the Ladakh Festival, Sindhu Darshan Festival, Ladakh International Film Festival and Kala Ghoda Festival in Mumbai. Villages that run eco-cafés also sell their handcrafted products through these outlets. Furthermore, we attend tradeshows, arts and crafts exhibitions and other fairs across India to market and sell the products. In future, we plan to help villagers open a showroom in Leh, where products from various parts of Ladakh will be sold, and the showroom will be run and managed by the villagers themselves. The income generated through the sale of handicrafts helps in offsetting the loss of livestock to snow leopards.

Yemen's General People's Congress calls for 'uniting against Iranian project'
Yemeni fighters loyal to the Saudi-backed Yemeni president hold a hill-top position northwest of the central city of Taiz, on April 20, 2017. (AFP)
Staff writer, Al Arabiya English Sunday, 3 December 2017
The command of the General People's Congress in support of legitimacy in Yemen said it supports the "popular uprising against Houthi militias and called on everyone to unite to deter the Iranian project in the country."
A statement issued by the party's command welcomed a "new page" and voiced the importance of fighting until they achieve victory and resume the political process.
Clashes between Houthi militias and Ali Abdullah Saleh loyalists have been on since Wednesday and they escalated when Saleh called for a popular uprising against the Houthis.
The Saudi-led coalition in support of legitimacy in Yemen had voiced its support of the General People's Congress' revolt against the Houthis in Sanaa and called on the legitimate government to open a new page with all political parties to form a national alliance to confront the Houthis whom it described as "the wing of the Iranian Persian project in Yemen."

2013-14 a tough act to follow for Brendan
This article by me was also published on http://www.thisisanfield.com
As we transition into a new year it is normal to find yourself in reflective mode. There is a lot to say about the last 12 months from a red perspective. We have journeyed through the full map of emotions; excitement, anticipation and expectancy followed by soul crushing despair and disappointment. That was just the first five months, but at least there was some joy to compensate for the pain. Sadly the next seven have offered little to balance the negative.
Despite all of this, the clubs owners found themselves in philosophical mode as the year drew to a close. They pointed to the loss of one of the best strikers in the world and his sidekick, coupled with a prolonged bedding in period for the new signings as mitigation for our woes. All was not lost though as there were, as they saw it, comforting signs that all would be well. The demolition of Swansea seemed to have heralded yet another turning of the corner.
The reality is that, while we do seem to have rediscovered our attacking verve, we still haven't stopped the rear-guard behaving like a punch drunk Lee Evans facing the Klitschko brothers. Two mad minutes against Leicester saw us surrender a comfortable lead to the bottom club. More depressing was the fact that Leicester could easily have scored more and taken all three points.
The frustration on the Kop throughout this season has been palpable. It's entirely understandable. The wait for a first league title in a quarter of a century is made more unbearable by how agonisingly close we came last season. To their eternal credit the hardcore, toward the back of the famous old stand, have continued to support and believe. Alas their voices have been but whispers compared the uneasy silence that grips the ground at league games these days.
By way of contrast, the travelling Kop are a beacon of hope, and have chanted the managers name defiantly all season. I see these supporters as the vanguard, the true barometer. Amongst them there is still hope as we move into 2015. However, in the wider fan-base you sense despair and rage. There are those who go beyond merely questioning the manager's decisions, and would actually like to see yet another changing of the guard.
There is much wrong with the modern game. A lot of it, actually most of it, is brought upon us by the games authorities. However, if we are honest with ourselves, some of it is of our own making. In large numbers football supporters have succumbed to a seductive lie, and this has created a cycle that threatens to destroy the game. It's time we stood up to it and refused to be taken in.
I am talking about the doctrine of instant success, and the epidemic of impatience it has bred. Yes the media, in particular Sky have cooked this up, but we don't have to eat it. Brendan Rodgers was manager of the year last season, voted 'man of the year' by the club at the annual honours bash. He led Liverpool to an unlikely title tilt, playing some of the best football I have witness in 40 years of watching the team.
When he took the reigns the club was a shadow of its former glorious self. Kenny had managed to stabilise things, but in the league we were light years from where we expected to be. He was a young unproven manager taking over a global institution, and following a club icon and living legend. Far from shrinking from the task, he took us agonisingly close to the promised land in a very short time. He didn't blow it, as some have said. The fact is we should never have been there in the first place. The fact we almost won the title is down to him, and he was rightly praised for it in May.
This is why I find the stick he is taking this season astonishing. Now I admit, I am a born optimist. When it comes to Liverpool F.C. I often find it hard to be overly critical. But when it comes to my Red faith I am not blind. I concede there are times when a manager and a club just don't fit. This was the case with Roy Hodgson. It most definitely isn't with Brendan Rodgers. Then there are times when a manager runs out of ideas and energy. He loses the dressing room and the mistakes and bad decisions start to outnumber the strokes of genius. In such times a parting of the ways (hopefully mutual) can be the right thing to do for both parties. I believe this may have been the case with Houllier. We are no where near this with Brendan in my opinion.
I believe Rodgers has made mistakes. I can see that some of the tactical decisions, formations and signings are questionable. It is an undeniable fact that we have suffered our worst start in fifty years. Although it is interesting to note that in that 64/65 season we were managed by some guy named Shankly. Thankfully there were no twitter or post match 'phone in' shows back then.
Fast forward to the career of the most successful English manager of all time, Bob Paisley. In 1981, despite winning the European Cup, Liverpool finished a disappointing 5th in the league. If something like that happened now fans would be clambering onto to message boards to tell us "he's had his day" or the old standby "he's took us as far as he can". Thankfully such short-sightedness was in short supply back then. Liverpool won the League Title and the League Cup the following year.
The fact that Alex Ferguson was once on the brink, before ultimately going on to dominate the premier league, should tell you that even in the modern game patience is a virtue. Actually, it isn't just virtuous, it's a recipe for unparalleled success.
Can Rodgers learn from mistakes
Brendan Rodgers may not become a club icon, but in my opinion he deserves the same chance to prove that he can be. Modern football wisdom tells us there's no time to build, no time for mistakes and setbacks, and no time to learn. Success has to come instantly or its on to the next poor sap. If we buy into this, then we become just like every other club, and every other fan-base. Is that what we want?
As Liverpool supporters we have always celebrated our contrariness. We are defiantly different and revel in marching to our own drum. 'We climbed the hill our own way' as that fantastic banner on the Kop declares. We don't have to subscribe to someone else's mantra. We are Liverpool. The manager deserves our support and our patience. He is part of the 'Holy Trinity' of supporters, players and manager. This was once an unbreakable bond, and an unstoppable force. It can and should be revived.
Against Burnley and Swansea the Reds took a massive two steps forward. Leicester represented a step back. It was not fatal in my opinion. Managers, like players suffer dips in form, self doubt and poor decision making. The very best come through these spells stronger, wiser and better for the experience. It's a school of hard knocks, and in my view Rodgers has what it takes to graduate. Will we give him time? I hope we do.

I wish more model calls got the same publicity as the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show go-sees. I always enjoy the casual parade of new runway walkers and models vying to make their debut. (Some of VS's bigger players won't show their faces until it's time for fittings.) This is a who's who of up-and-coming models, as well as some decidedly established faces, who I'll wager are already having a busy week at NYFW. Victoria's Secret shows always bring together a broad mix of model faces from different corners of the industry. Some of these women are in heavy rotation in print campaigns for ready-to-wear, lingerie, or even beauty lines, but only occasionally make appearances on designer runways. But the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is an entirely different breed of fashion show. Let's see who the contenders are this year.
