Want to know how Lanky got his job? Here's his life story...
Lanky the Giraffe was born within walking distance of the Old Trafford ground on May 29th, 2003. His parents hail from the African plains but they had decided to move to Manchester for the damper, somewhat milder climate. Almost as soon as he could walk, Lanky was coming to Old Trafford to watch cricket, and he was immediately transfixed. He couldn't understand how the crowd knew his name or why they wanted to sing it ('Oh, Lanky Lanky! Lanky Lanky Lanky Lanky Lancashire…') He later realised that the song was actually about the team, but when he heard fans shouting 'Oi, long neck! Get out of the way!', they were definitely talking to him. From then on, he only ever sat in the back row. Having seen so much cricket from a long way back in the stands, Lanky's ambition became getting as close as possible to the cricketing action.
He started by having cricket lessons. In theory, he had the right body to be a fast bowler. Being tall, he could send the ball down from a great height, and he was quick across the ground. However, his hooves struggled to even grip the ball, let alone release it with the seam anywhere near he wanted it to be. Lanky found the same problem with batting, which also hurt his back as he constantly had to bend down to take guard. Always eager to play, Lanky started wicket keeping, which he was good at. However, after losing a few teeth, he knew that his unorthodox style of standing up to the stumps to fast bowlers and his inability to find a helmet to fit would never get him in the Lancashire team. Lanky was sad – he really wanted to play a part at Old Trafford.
During his time playing cricket, Lanky never stopped watching Lancashire. He became their biggest fan, learning all about the history of the club and idolising the great players like Mike Atherton and Warren Hegg and his best mate Steven Crook. One day, when reading his favourite book, David Lloyd's autobiography, and munching on leaves, he had a brainwave. Where in England were you most likely to see 7 foot tall animals from all over the globe? He didn't think they played cricket at Chester Zoo. Apart from that? At sports matches, that's where! Mascots were appearing at more and more sports clubs, and Lanky knew there wasn't one at Lancashire. He rang LCCC and arranged an interview. Everyone at Lancashire was amazed at Lanky's knowledge and huge support for the club. He got the job!
Now Lanky can be seen at the side of the pitch – closer to the action than anyone else – during Lancashire matches. He still has to duck when a ball is being bowled, though! He loves meeting Thunderbolts because they remind him of when he was a young giraffe learning all about the game. Away from cricket, he loves to run. Lanky recently completed the 10k Great Manchester Run in a staggering 1 hour 59 seconds! He was certainly staggering by the end.
So now you know Lanky a little better, and you know why he enjoys match days so much! Make sure you give him a big wave when you see him next!

How to Meet the Right One
As you probably well know, man hunting can be an enjoyable but sometimes challenging enterprise. That's why, if you want to find guys, you have to go where tons of them gather. Cosmo scouted out the top locations men can be found these days whether you're looking for a fun fling or a long-term relationship.
Hot spot: The Apple store
The draw: Most guys are natural gadget lovers, and with sales of iPods and MacBooks skyrocketing, more men than ever are stopping by Apple boutiques. The vibe at the stores is conducive to man meeting too: You can check your email among cuties, take a free workshop on anything from Photoshop to podcasting (a great opportunity to strike up a conversation), or just survey the, ahem, good-looking merchandise.
Find it near you: There are 236 Apple stores in 42 states. Check out apple.com/retail.
Hot spot: The weight room in the gym
The draw: According to many gyms, the majority of people pumping iron are men. If you prefer a cardio fix, some classes are seeing an increase in male participants:
Hot spot: A Fortune 500 or tech company
The draw: How's this for a fab job perk? Twenty-two percent of people met their spouses or long-term significant others on the job, according to a survey by Vault.com. But all careers are not created equal, guy-wise. If you're searching for a new position, consider working for either a Fortune 500 company (75 percent of incoming full-time associates at top banks, many of which are in the Fortune 500, are guys) or a tech company (men make up 75 percent of the technology workforce, according to the National Science Foundation). Hint: Once you're in, join the office Super Bowl pool.

Students from MacArthur High School spent Thursday applying what they have been learning in the classroom to practical use and, at the same time, helping Habitat for Humanity.
Students who are taking architectural design courses and who are in the electrical systems apprenticeship program put their skills to good use building homes.
Kendall Herold picked up a circular saw and starting working on the wall frame without hesitation.
"I actually like the hands-on stuff," said Herold, a senior.
"(I like) learning different skills that we can use, like how to use a hammer," said Jesus Zendejo, a sophomore.
The homes were going up in the Morning Star Terrace housing area, just a little southwest of downtown.
"Generally speaking, they don't know what on earth is going on, but by the end of the day, they are doing it like they have done it for months," said Charles Prock, a builder with Habitat.
"I get to do something nobody else can say they did, like, 'What did you do what did you do today?' 'Oh, I built a house,'" Zendejo said.
The students were not only learning to build a house, but also learning to build a community.
"It's good to know that you are helping others and helping families in need," Herold said.

The Honorable Wilmer Mizell (R-NC5), who served three terms in the House of Representatives, hailed from Vinegar Bend, Alabama - hence the nickname.
Cardinals' Miller, Wainwright join exclusive club with complete-game shutouts
Friday night, Cardinals rookie Shelby Miller went out and tossed one of the best games of the season, allowing just a single hit over nine innings while striking out 13 and walking none in a win over Colorado. Apparently, St. Louis teammate Adam Wainwright took Miller's performance as a challenge.
On Saturday, Wainwright was perfect through 4 1/3 innings and kept the Rockies hitless until the eighth inning, when Colorado third baseman Nolan Arenado singled with one out in the frame. Wainwright went ahead and finished what he started, allowing just one more base hit—a Dexter Fowler single in the ninth—before wrapping up the complete-game shutout in St. Louis' 3-0 victory. His final line: nine innings, two hits, no runs allowed, one walk and seven strikeouts.
Wainwright's performance was a gem, with the Cardinals' ace mixing power with punishing offspeed offerings to flummox the Rockies. In 120 pitches, Wainwright launched 45 four-seamers and sinkers, averaging 90-92 mph and hitting 95, adding in a devastating curveball that frequently dropped in the strike zone or got weak waves from Colorado's hitters. All told, Wainwright tossed 120 pitches, 88 for strikes, and never threw more than 19 pitches in any inning.
The terrific tandem effort by Miller and Wainwright landed the duo in some exclusive company, as they became the 20th pair of pitchers since 1916 to record back-to-back complete-game shutouts allowing two hits or fewer. It was the first time two starters had pulled the trick since 2002, when Pedro Astacio and Jeff D'Amico did it for the Mets against the Dodgers. Astacio took the mound on May 14 and went the distance, allowing two hits, two walks and striking out nine. The next day, D'Amico put together almost exactly the same line, with two hits, two walks and eight strikeouts in the win.
Miller and Wainwright also became the third pair of Cardinals to accomplish the feat, joining Bob Gibson and Ray Washburn (May 2 and 3, 1967), and Von McDaniel and the amazingly named Vinegar Bend Mizell (July 28 and 29, 1957). On top of that, Miller and Wainwright are only the third duo to toss a complete-game shutout with two hits or fewer and one walk or fewer each. McDaniel and Mizell didn't walk a batter in their starts. The other pair was Mike Mussina and Ben McDonald on July 17 and 18, 1992—Mussina threw a one-hitter with one walk and 10 strikeouts, and McDonald followed with a two-hitter with a walk and five strikeouts.
Back to the present: Miller's and Wainwright's performances are obviously good news for the Cardinals, who with the win Saturday have now taken eight of their last nine and own baseball's best record at 23-12. They can thank arguably the top rotation in baseball for that: Every Cardinals starter has an ERA comfortably below 3.00, with Miller leading the pack at 1.58 in 45.2 innings. That comes out to an eye-popping 237 ERA+ for Miller, the sixth-best mark in MLB.
Historical stats provided by Baseball-Reference's Play Index; Wainwright's pitch information courtesy BrooksBaseball.net.
Cardinals suck.
Best record in baseball. Albert who?
@PatMcCauley Why you got to hate on my Cardinals? Is it jealousy as we have the best franchise in baseball?

The History of Homeopathy in India
It is generally held that the first Homeopathic treatment in the Indian sub-continent was given by two German geologists, who were called "cholera doctors" in Bengal in the 1820's. Babu Rajendra Dutt is considered to be the father of Indian Homeopathy and there are letters he wrote to his Homeopathic doctor friend asking for some clarifications to be made by Hahnemann himself, indicating that this was happening in the life of the Master. However the first recorded treatment of which historical details are available was of Maharaja Ranjit Singh in 1839 in Lahore by Johann Martin Honiberger of Romania of which he has chronicled in his book "35 years in the East".
The first qualified doctor to practice Homeopathy was Dr. Mahindra Lal Sarkar who was one of the first three Indian doctors to qualify for the post graduate degree of M.D. in medicine in the nineteenth century. Before the end of the last century, two Indian doctors studied in the erstwhile Homeopathic Institutions in the USA and one of them, Dr. B.K. Bose, was a direct disciple of the renowned Dr. James Tyler Kent. The first Homeopathic College in India was established in 1884 and all the subsequent homeopathic institutions in the sub-continent follow the same pattern of education that it established.
There was a progressively increasing public demand for homeopathic treatment that motivated the government to pass a resolution to form a Homeopathic Enquiry Committee in 1938. The most prominent doctors of both Allopathic constituted these Committee and Homeopathic disciples and luminous names such as Dr. J.N. Majumdar, Col. Amir Chand FRCP, Dr. M. Gururaju, Dr. L.D. Dhawale, Dr. P.N. Chopra and Dr. Diwan Jai Chand are mentioned in the list of members.
The committee finally presented its report in post independence India in 1949 which contributed to the recognition of this system of medicine by the by the Indian government.
The government of India had progressively increased its patronage of Homeopathy and given it a practical shape. Successive Presidents of the Indian Republic have had Homeopaths on their panel of Honorary Physicians. The Central Council of Homeopathy was established in 1973 to oversee the standards for homeopathic education and practice. The Government of India in 1978 set up the Central Council of Research in Homeopathy and its activities include clinical confirmation of proving, drug research, drug proving and literary research through its 51 centers in different parts of the country. A Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia was established in 1962 and the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia Laboratory established in 1975 is recognized under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act. There are 132 Colleges in the country imparting Homeopathic education and there are 183,210 registered practitioners in Homeopathy attending to over 1 million illness episodes through 287 hospitals and private clinics. There are about 700 licensed Homeopathic Pharmacies in the country. In 1995, a separate Directorate for Homeopathy was established within the Ministry for Health and Family Welfare.
Three Congresses of the International Homeopathic Medical League have been held in India in the years 1967, 1977 and 1995. Dr. Diwan Harish Chand of New Delhi is the only Asian to have been honoured with the responsibility of the Presidency of the International League, a post which he held from 1979 to 1982 and he has subsequently been elected as the President of Honor of this organization.

Renee did a great job breaking it all down. I love that he brought up the point that we all live in a dangerous world, to mollycoddle and placate everyone because some people are worried about stubbing their toes is not the way we need to be using technology or politics. He even brought up INDIVIDUAL as an aspect of freedom in content. The individual outweighs the collective in a society; like Bastiat once said in many ways in a paraphrased statement, the individual outweighs the collective, if the individual's rights are honored then everyone's rights are honored - utilitarianism is a con, as a way of rationalizing the removal of the individuals rights.
Just for future reference. I was watching the iphone 4 press conference video the other day, and the retina display isn't at distance. Jobs specifically said at 300 or above pixels aren't visible to the eye. Retina display for apple is specifically 300 or over.
I can't find the video any where for this 'episode.' Instacast didn't download it, it doesn't seem to be here. Am I missing something? Of course it is the one where I want to see what is being talked about. thanks.

Since 1949, VFW's annual Legislative Conference has
provided an opportunity for VFW leaders from each state to personally lobby
their respective lawmakers and watch as VFW's current Commander-in-Chief
testifies on Capitol Hill before the House and Senate Veterans Affairs
committees on behalf of veterans.
Guest speakers are invited to address conference
delegates, with the VFW Congressional Award presented on Wednesday. Also at the
event, the winners of the Voice of Democracy and Patriot's Pen scholarship
contests are announced. Each national winner reads their
winning essay before conference delegates and are presented
with their winnings.
In 2014, Rep. Joe Wilson (S.C.) received the VFW
Congressional Award. The Voice of Democracy first-place winner, Madison Haley,
sponsored by VFW Post 777 and Ladies Auxiliary in Mount Pulaski, Ill., was presented with the T.C. Selman Memorial
Scholarship Award in the amount of $30,000. The Patriot's
Pen first-place winner, Alexis Canen, sponsored by VFW Post 1125 and
Ladies Auxiliary in Glendive, Mont., received that
contest's top prize of a $5,000 award.

Market Zimbabwe As Prime Hunting Destination

Market Zimbabwe As Prime Hunting Destination
Market Zimbabwe As Prime Hunting Destination
SAFARI operators have been called upon to aggressively market the country as a prime-hunting destination in order to claim their share of international hunters.
Safari Club International chairman, Mr John Boretsky, made the call during the just ended the Safari Operators Association of Zimbabwe annual general meeting held in Bulawayo last weekend.
Mr Boretsky said despite the country having prime trophy, competent safari operators and competitive pricing, these factors were being overridden by the negative publicity that the country was receiving abroad.
"You need to be on a mission to speak to every hunter, American or European or African, asking them if they know how good hunting is in Zimbabwe, and be ready to tell them what they are missing if they do not," Mr Boretsky said.
Mr Boretsky said that the operators have to be innovative and utilise all the available resources at their disposal such as the information communication technology as well as attending international hunters' conventions to enhance exposure of their products.
As an organisation, he said that they stood ready to avail their marketing machinery to local organisations to market Zimbabwe and their products.
"Safari Club International can help. Don't always look to us for money, look to us for help and skills we offer," he said.
Speaking at the same occasion Parks and Wildlife Management Authority's board chairman Mr George Pangeti who read a speech on behalf of Environment and Natural Resources Minister Francis Nhema, underscored the need for operators to conserve the country's natural resources as it anchors the country's tourism industry.
He said as part of this initiative Government was implementing the wildlife based land reform programme that was conceived following widespread consultation with stakeholders.
The programme, which is being administered by his ministry, seeks to ensure access by the majority to the country's wildlife resource as well as ensure conservation and sustainable use of wildlife for present and future generations.
"Wildlife based land reform policy is a continuous learning process for all involved as all stakeholders continue to make suggestions that we as stakeholders discuss and decided weather to adopt or not," he said.
In this regard he said that they were looking at incorporating foreign partners of local businesses on leased land held by their local partners.
Meanwhile at least four operators received awards of excellence during the SOAZ AGM.

VeriFone doesn't mind long check-out lines, but it does try to make them move faster. The company is a leading supplier of electronic payment hardware and software for merchant-operated, consumer-facing, and self-service payment systems. Its products include point-of-sale (POS) software and terminals, smart card and check readers, receipt printers, and Internet commerce software. It also provides installation, training, and other services. Customers include government agencies, as well as companies in the hospitality, retail, and healthcare markets, among others. VeriFone generates nearly three-fourths of its sales outside the US.
Geographic ReachThe US is VeriFone's largest market, accounting for about a quarter of sales. Brazil, where the electronic payment card industry is quickly growing, contributes slightly more than 10% of sales.
Sales and MarketingWith clients ranging from small merchants to government-sponsored payment processors, VeriFone augments its direct sales force with a network of distributors, resellers, and systems integrators. Brazilian credit and debit card firm Cielo accounts for 12% of the company's international sales; electronic data processor First Data accounts for 13% of its domestic sales.
Financial PerformanceFast-growing VeriFone has seen sales almost double in just the past three years. It reported $1.9 billion in revenue in fiscal 2012 (ended October), up 43% year-over-year. The company's results have been powered almost completely by acquisitions, which added more than $400 million in sales in 2012. The acquisitions have particularly impacted international revenue, which grew more than 60% from 2011 to 2012.Net income, however, declined about 75% to $65 million in 2012 as those same acquisitions resulted in increased personnel-related expenses.
StrategyVeriFone has benefited from a general trend away from cash and check transactions toward electronic credit and debit payments. In addition to credit and debit card readers, the company has developed systems that handle radio-frequency identification (RFID) cards, mobile phone transactions, gift cards, electronic bill payments, signature capture, and benefits transfers.VeriFone provides customized systems that address the specific needs of select markets, including financial services, government, health care, multi-lane retail, and petroleum. Providing pay-at-the-pump functionality to petroleum retailers is an example of such specialization. The expansion of other payment applications, including pay-at-the-table systems for restaurants, is part of the company's growth strategy. The spread of wireless infrastructure has also helped the company, as it creates applications for electronic payments in new areas such as vending machines and taxis.
Mergers and AcquisitionsThe company uses acquisitions to build-out its product and technology portfolio while pushing into new geographies. In a 2011 purchase that changed the landscape of the electronic payments systems industry, VeriFone purchased key rival Hypercom in an all-stock transaction valued at around $485 million, including assumed debt. The deal gave VeriFone expanded geographic coverage in a number of key European markets, where Hypercom has an established presence. The transaction also strengthened VeriFone's position against its biggest remaining rival, France-based Ingenico. The company further expanded its European operations with the acquisition in early 2012 of Point, which provides payment and gateway services for the retail sector in more than 10 European countries.As part of its effort to build its presence in other geographies, VeriFone bought Destiny Electronic Commerce, a provider of secure payment technologies and services based in South Africa, in 2011. VeriFone expanded into South Korea the previous year when it acquired the assets of payment systems maker Orange Logic. The company renamed the business VeriFone Korea, which continues to manufacture Orange Logic's products, as well as support VeriFone's new VX Evolution product line.In the US the company acquired LIFT Retail Marketing Technology in 2012 to expand its line of products for convenience store and gas station operators in North America, in particular. LIFT's networked digital marketing hub integrates with retail (POS) systems to provide targeted marketing to individual shoppers by presenting them with digital ads on a touchscreen. The product complements VeriFone's Secure PumpPAY product.
OwnershipAustralian investment bank Macquarie Group owns about 13% of VeriFone.

The Independent Study Program (ISP) consists of three interrelated parts: Studio Program, Curatorial Program, and Critical Studies Program. The ISP provides a setting within which students pursuing art practice, curatorial work, art historical scholarship, and critical writing engage in ongoing discussions and debates that examine the historical, social, and intellectual conditions of artistic production. The program encourages the theoretical and critical study of the practices, institutions, and discourses that constitute the field of culture.
Each year fifteen students are selected to participate in the Studio Program, four in the Curatorial Program, and six in the Critical Studies Program. Curatorial and critical studies students are designated as Helena Rubinstein Fellows in recognition of the substantial support provided to the program by the Helena Rubinstein Foundation. The program begins in early September and concludes at the end of the following May. Many of the participants are enrolled at universities and art schools and receive academic credit for their participation, while others have recently completed their formal studies.
The participants in the Studio Program are engaged in a variety of art practices with an emphasis on installation work, film and video, photography, performance, and various forms of interdisciplinary practice. The program provides studio space and facilities in our loft in downtown Manhattan. The Studio Program exhibition is held in May.

Curatorial students collaborate to produce an exhibition. Working closely with the program's faculty and curators at the Whitney, the students develop proposals for the exhibition. Once a proposal has been approved by the Museum's curators, the students proceed to select artworks, arrange loans, and design and oversee the installation of the exhibition. The students write essays for and participate in the production of a catalogue accompanying their exhibition.
Maintenance is crucial for the continuation of our physical infrastructure, our society, and our lives. The often repetitive and mundane work of maintenance sustains people, objects, and institutions, and supports our constant struggle against entropy and decay. Ubiquitous but unseen and undervalued, maintenance comprises the essential systems of support that clear the ground for all other forms of work. Investigating the diversity of maintenance tasks, Maintenance Required examines the large-scale systems that construct our daily lives.

Creative destruction refers to capitalism's inherent tendency to create new wealth by destroying the previous economic order. Initially described by Marx and Engels in The Communist Manifesto, this concept was popularized in the United States after World War II when economist Joseph Schumpeter adapted it as a model of economic innovation but still warned of its self-destructive nature. Creative Destruction reclaims the phrase in order to emphasize how preexisting systems of representation can be reconfigured for different political purposes.

Ethical cohabitation—how to live together and how to be in the shared environment—is the problem that brings together the sociopolitical, cultural, and ecological within this exhibition. While ostensibly aiming to achieve harmonious balance, such relations are nevertheless inherently antagonistic and always unstable. In this context, how does one choose to act?

The term foreclosure today is associated with the collapse of the subprime mortgage market. Caught in a cycle of crisis provoked by this collapse, the instinctive reaction is to search for solutions within the very institutional logic that produced the problem. Foreclosed: Between Crisis and Possibility examines these responses by beginning with a reexamination of the term itself and locating this investigation within a global context.
Curated by Jennifer Burris, Sofía Olascoaga, Sadia Shirazi, and Gaia Tedone, Helena Rubinstein Curatorial Fellows of the Whitney Independent Study Program, 2010–2011
Critical Studies participants engage in individual scholarly research and critical writing projects through tutorials with a professional art historian, critic, or cultural theorist. The program's faculty arranges tutorials and provides additional advice and guidance. A symposium is held in May at the Whitney, at which the Critical Studies students present papers.
The faculty of the ISP is available to meet individually with all members of the program to discuss their work or more general practical, theoretical, or historical questions. The program's regular and visiting faculty members are Ron Clark, Mary Kelly, Benjamin Buchloh, Hal Foster, Laura Mulvey, Isaac Julien, Gregg Bordowitz, Andrea Fraser, Chantal Mouffe, Alex Alberro, Jennifer Gonzalez, Okwui Enwezor, and Sarah Lookofsky.
Each week during the year, a professional artist, theorist, or historian conducts a seminar at the program. Members of all three components of the program participate in these seminars, which focus on the work of the seminar leader. In addition, all members of the program participate in a weekly reading seminar in social and cultural theory led by Ron Clark and members of the program's visiting faculty. This seminar provides an occasion for the group to collectively study and discuss contemporary critical theory. There is a particular emphasis on the methodologies of critical cultural studies and social art history.

Nutritionist Keri Glassman, who regularly shares her expertise on Access Hollywood and Access Hollywood Live, is answering your nutrition, diet, and health questions.
Want to know which foods to curb sugar cravings? Or, what should you eat before a workout? Ask Keri anything, HERE!
PLAY IT NOW: Ask Keri Glassman: Tips For A Healthy Thanksgiving
This week's question... Should I indulge on Thanksgiving?
People often go one way or another on Thanksgiving: INDULGE or DEPRIVE. The first leads to feeling like the stuffed turkey you just ate and the second leaves you feeling flat out like a big buzz kill. So what's a good American to do? We all want to take part in our nation's favorite holiday. I am a dietitian, so I am certainly not going to suggest stuffing yourself like a turkey but I am hardly the type to suggest all-out deprivation either. So, let's indulge - the healthy way! A little indulging can actually help you consume less calories overall, sneak in some powerful nutrients and leave you feeling ready to strut your stuff through the holiday season. Indulge this way, this Thanksgiving:
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Body After Baby: Stars Who Slimmed Down After Giving Birth
Eat an appetizer
• Many of us try not to spoil our appetites before the Thanksgiving meal by staying away from the appetizer tray, but I dare you to do the opposite! Ruin your appetite - and don't go into the meal ravenous.
• Indulge in cheese. 2 cubes of the parmesan before dinner can be just what you need to "cut" your hunger. When you finally sit down for that meal, you'll notice everyone else going for seconds before you have come close to finishing your plate.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Hollywood's Hottest Beach Bodies -- The Guys!
• 1 cubic inch cube has 40 calories, 3.68 grams of satisfying protein and 122 mg calcium. The savory parmesan flavor also goes a long way as far as satisfaction goes.
Don't let your turkey go naked
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Workin' Up A Sweat With Stars Staying Fit
• If you are trying to watch your waistline you may either go for dry white meat turkey or you may say "it's Thanksgiving I am going for it" and dive into dark meat, skin and gravy.
• I say go for gravy - but add it to white meat. Instead of reaching for that giant turkey leg of dark meat, which is loaded with extra fat from the skin, take a lean serving of white breast meat, and pour a little gravy over it. The portion of gravy will make your white meat seem rich and decadent. The average tablespoon of gravy can have anywhere from 20-120 calories per tablespoon. If you stick to that one tablespoon, you will get the satisfaction of your warm, gooey gravy while saving calories from going completely overboard with the dark meat and skin...and you definitely won't feel like you are being punished at the table.
Stuff yourself properly
• Stuffing is known to be a carb and butter catastrophe. But, how often is stuffing served in your home? IF this is your favorite starchy side, go for it. But, remember try to choose ONE starchy side that you LOVE - and have in portion control - half a cup to 1 cup. Don't think about not having the mash and the sweet potatoes, think about having the stuffing. You can eat your Grandmother's famous recipe! The average half cup serving of stuffing has anywhere from 180 to 280 calories. The difference lies in whether or not you choose to have sausage in your stuffing. If you want to make that indulgence even healthier ditch the sausage and get your protein-fix from the turkey. Only 50 percent of Americans stuff their Turkeys with stuffing, so you're not in the minority if you avoid it altogether. Me? I prefer sweet potato anything!
Say "hello" not "bye-bye" to Pie
• When it comes to navigating the dessert table, you're more than likely to be drawn to pie, after pie, after pie, after pie. Allow yourself to indulge in a little pie, just make the right pie choice.
• Pumpkin, itself, is a nutrition powerhouse! 1 cup of cooked, mashed pumpkin has 49 calories, is high in potassium, loaded with vitamin A and has about 3 grams of fiber. But what about in pie form? It is still a winner. 1/8th of a 9 inch pie slice of pumpkin pie has 340 calories, while the same size of pecan pie has 503 calories. Fun fact? Pumpkin pie was first introduced to the holiday table at the pilgrim's second Thanksgiving. If you want to take this traditional treat up a notch try these Pumpkin Pie Bites with a flaxseed and wheat germ crust. YUM!
Mini Pumpkin Pie Bites
Time: 40 minutes
Serves: 24
• 6 tablespoons wheat germ

3. Whisk eggs in another bowl. Add pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
4. Pour mixture evenly into prepared muffin cups.
5. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until sides are sturdy and filling is set. Let cool 10 to 15 minutes before using a knife to loosen and remove from pan.
6. Combine yogurt and maple syrup in bowl. Cover and chill.
7. Top each with a dollop of yogurt mixture. Enjoy!
Makes 24 mini muffins
You booze, you gain? Not necessarily
• People often associate alcohol with overindulging in alcohol itself and food, especially at a holiday meal with friends and family. That's because we, Americans, tend to overdo it. The truth is that there are benefits associated with alcohol, such as reduced risk of heart disease, a decreased risk of diabetes, and reduced risk of dementia. But that's not permission to get WASTED with Uncle Frank! Instead, skip the cocktails but treat yourself to that one glass of red wine (125 calories per 5 fl oz) with dinner and enjoy every last sip. This way you may eat less too - when you go into the meal a little buzzed you usually gobble up more. So, reap the benefits of alcohol and feel like you've indulged without being hungover the next day.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Vera is excited to introduce Andy Fife! As directed by the new strategic plan, Vera is making an investment in leadership capacity. The board spent several months early this year looking into options, including input from staff and membership. Vera settled on an Interim Director model to identify and implement the best way forward. The board then reached out to the regional community for recommendations and hired Andy, who will work with all key stakeholders for four months starting this week. Andy was the Executive Director of Shunpike, and currently works as an independent arts and non-profit consultant.
An Interview with Andy Fife
Vera Position: Interim Executive Director
Vera: Where did you grow up and how was the underage music and arts scene there?
A: Thinking back, it was pretty great. But I remember at the time feeling like there was so little to do, like all of the really good stuff was off limits. Now I remember it being "pretty great" because we ended up making a lot of it for ourselves, inspiring a lot of my work and interests since then.
I was in high school in the early 90s in the suburbs outside of Chicago, which gave me access to a couple different music experiences. First, we had our scene out in the suburbs… a lot of local independent stuff that our friends put on, mostly in the basements of churches and community centers. We had our favorite DJs on the college radio stations in the area and a couple of really great shops selling amazing collections of used records (and tapes!). We made our own films on VHS cameras and recorded the soundtracks on 4-track recorders. We created little zines with copy machines at the library and drew the concert fliers with markers. It was a blast.
The other thing we had was Chicago, only a train-ride away. In that city, there is no end to the list of music and art to explore, and quite a lot available to all ages (Not that it stopped me from trying to get into the 21+ shows!). Once we took the train in to the city, we became cultural omnivores… jazz, blues, contemporary art museums, thrift stores, outdoor festivals, fringe theatre and block parties, along with the rock shows and clubs. I loved it so much I moved into Chicago later and lived there for years before the Seattle siren song got me.
Vera: Describe your interests in music and other forms of art growing up, and positions you've held and/or projects worked on prior to Vera…
A: Music, theatre and art have been the core of my life and work since high school. I grew up playing music myself, specifically trombone. I trained in jazz and classical from 2nd grade straight through college, playing in every kind of band, from musical theatre productions to symphony orchestras to touring ska and noise and funk bands. I also wrote and directed plays and worked as Assistant Director on major professional theatre productions in New York and Chicago.
Later I owned and managed a recording studio in Chicago and produced events, an example of my habit of starting new businesses and organizations. I founded or helped to found all of the following: an underground paper, a housing cooperative, two theatre companies, a dance company, an event production company and a recording studio.
Since then, I've gotten involved in more advocacy, policy-making, and leadership—always with arts at the core. In general, I am committed to equity and social justice. And I believe that the arts are the best pathway to it.
Vera: When and how did you first get involved with Vera?
A: Well, really this is it. I've been working in the arts in Seattle for almost 10 years, working at the now-gone Consolidated Works, for SIFF, for Shunpike, and now as an independent consultant with the city and other local arts organizations. In that time, I've had a lot of interaction with Vera and its staff but this is the first chance I've had to roll up my sleeves and get these paws dirty. Finally!
Vera: Describe what your work at Vera will be like…
A: Hard to say exactly just yet. In general, I specialize in helping arts organizations grow and develop. Typically, an Executive Director is hired by the Board of Directors and Membership to lead the staff and support the board as a group of ambassadors and advisers, working to align the daily operations with the long-term strategy and mission of the organization. With Vera, I'm only here for a short time and my first step is to figure out where best to put my energies in the next four months.
My job is to reshuffle things so that Vera's overall structure is stronger and more developed so that the job of the directors, the staff, the board, the members and the volunteers are all easier and better understood. Once I get a couple weeks in and have had a chance to talk to everyone and get a handle on the systems, I look forward to tweaking things and generally giving everyone at Vera more of what they need to succeed.
This is one of several projects I'm working on this year and each is different than the other, but across the board there is one value that I try to maintain…any good plan has to come from within. There's no use in dropping in and scattering a bunch of generic management directions around at Vera. It'll be much more effective if I figure out what Vera is already good at and build upon those strengths.
Vera: Do you have a favorite show and/or memory at Vera?
A: I saw Shellac in the 90s in Chicago. I saw Shellac in 2011 at Vera. I love Shellac. I'll see them again if Steve and the boys ever head back this way. Shellac!
Vera: What are you looking forward to working on in your new position?
A: Here's a little sample of my geekness. I am really excited to help write Vera develop better policies for Human Resource management and governance.
Vera: What are you most likely doing when not at work?
A: There's not much in the "not at work" category these days, but my work involves a lot of play. Specifically, a lot of plays, and shows, and exhibits and parties. Working and volunteering in arts, government agencies and nonprofits involves quite a lot of events, shows and fundraisers and I count myself as blessed to be able to seamlessly drift from work to play and back again several times in one evening.
Oh, and sometimes I really like to ride my bicycle around without any destination in mind. That's not work. At all.
List of Seattle favorites…
Capitol Hill (there's no place like home.)
Venue (aside from Vera):
The Croc or Washington Hall
Cal Anderson
Artist (music or otherwise):
I can't choose one. That's not fair. Right now I'm digging on Industrial Revelation and zoe | juniper
Record Store:
Easy Street (RIP QA Branch)
Spot to dance:
Anyplace directly over the center of the earth…

LOOKING FOR NEW LOCATION – CLOSING at end of today 2/20/2012. Stated they are looking for ANOTHER LOCATION close by to move to. Ate there today and was good as alway although they had run out of some items.
Wishing them success in the future.
Average Food – The waitress was very sweet and attentive. I had the eggplant parm and it was a good portion but very average. It came with pasta and marinara sauce. The sauce was bland.
I may try the pizza.
Sadly, this used to be a pretty fair neighborhood restaurant.... No More. – Now the pasta dishes are covered in Bad Cheese and a Red Sauce that
is no better than Ragu out of the bottle.
Salad bar has also declined in freshness and the quality of ingredients.
Service is uneven... a couple of good waitresses, but several that would
prefer to be doing something else.
Horrible waitresses, creepy crawlers on dining floor! – Place has gone down alot. Bad service! All teenagers who act like they dont want to be there. Blonde poofy one named Tiffany is the worse. Very rude! The place has remodled but hasnt helped change anything!
Amazing pizza! – Pizza and breadsticks with their homemade alfredo sauce is the perfect meal! Good service and cheap prices. Their eggplant parmesan and lasagna are also terrific.

Thoughts on Theo
Ever date someone who wasn't all that much before you met them. In fact, they were kind of a mess? Then, a year or two later – whether from being in your aura, or going on a great workout plan or hot new diet or some great new job – they become more "marketable", and then they dump your sorry butt? And, worse, they never gave you any credit for the part you played in their asendancy?
Yup, been there. After thinking it over a bit today, and after reading a lot of your reaction to today's news, first reported right here on this blog, that Jose Theodore will test the free-agent market, I'm thinking that situation applies a little here. Read more…

Bryz, Flyers Remember to Spay and Neuter Their Panthers in Shutout Rout
Mar 8, 2012, 10:23 PM EDT
Thursday night's game against the Florida Panthers marked the third straight game the Flyers would have to play without defensemen Kimmo Timonen and Andrej Meszaros. Shortly before the teams took the ice, the team announced that Pavel Kubina would miss the game with an injury as well, which explained the mid-day call-up of Brandon Manning.
Already without Chris Pronger, this would seem to spell disaster for a team in the bottom third of the NHL for goals against. Or, an unlikely recipe for a pair of shutouts and three straight wins, four dating back to the last time the defense corps was intact. The Flyers makeshift blue line put in a stellar effort, as did Ilya Bryzgalov, who backstopped his fourth shutout of the season en route to a 5-0 Flyers win. A few notes and a look at the goals, below.
As we said in the pre-game, the Panthers aren't very good, and they came to town shorthanded. But man did they get blown off the ice in this one.
The Flyers managed to weather the dangerous seas of the early first period, where more often than not lately, they've been conceding rather than scoring goals.
They opened the scoring on the power play, when a 1-3-1 look had its way with the Panthers' PK unit and Brayden Schenn scored on a goal that probably drew some laughs. The play was designed to find Scott Hartnell in the slot, where he's done a ton of damage this season. The Panthers were keen to him, but he was still open when Claude Giroux sent a pass through the middle. But, as if drawn up this way, Harts fanned on the shot, and the pass went straight to Schenn, who put it past Jose Theodore.
Theodore appeared to bite on the belief that Harts' shot was coming his way, and Schenn didn't miss on his one-timer opp. Don't worry, Hartnell would get his too.
The defense was pretty tight early despite missing some key players, and they kept the quality opportunities to a minimum. Matt Carle showed how much the D is in tune with doing their part for their goalie, attacking Jack Skille for running into Bryz. Definitely arguable that maybe Skille didn't have much choice with Carle riding him pretty hard, which almost makes it even better that Carle objected so much.
Matt Read tagged his name on the rookie wall again, picking up his 19th of the season on a dirty rebound in tight to open up a second period the Flyers flat out dominated. They'd only score once more in the frame, but they held the edge most of the way. Hartnell tallied his 32nd of the season on a strip-steal and breakaway where he showed speed I'm not sure I've ever seen from him, then leaned on a hard wrister that flew over Theodore's glove hand.
The third period was much of the same, as the Flyers continued to pull away. Blocked shots aplenty, big saves by Bryzgalov, and two more goals. Jaromir Jagr was said to be unlikely to play in this one, and he had limited minutes early, skating with the fourth line and second power play unit while Schenn flanked on the G line. But Jags had energy in reserve, and he blazed a wrist shot past Theodore. The weight of his shots can be amazing, scoring despite hitting the goalie, and then the bare-hand salute comes out…
Eric Wellwood continues to play well when given the opportunity, and he picked up his third goal of the season and fifth point in just seven games. This guy's just begging for some playing time.
Not sure what Danny Briere did to piss off the hockey gods, but they're still holding a grudge. The good news is, despite staying on the snakebite, Briere played a great game, generating opportunities and picking up a pair of assists.&nb
Brandon Manning had a solid NHL debut, minimizing mistakes and cashing in with a plus-2 evening. He was even Bryz's LOL of the night, when the Russian goalie made reference to his being released by the Colts earlier today.
The Flyers were 2/4 on the power play and perfect on four kills.
Carle had four of the Flyers' 18 blocked shots.
That's 10 straight starts for Bryz. Will he sit one of the two games this weekend? Timing's right…

Lancashire made an encouraging start to their second innings against Hampshire on day 3 at the Rose Bowl to put themselves back in the game
An unbroken second wicket partnership of 96 between Tom Smith and Mark Chilton during the late afternoon and evening sessions gave Lancashire a 20-run advantage going into the final day.
The pair had united through to stumps to steer Lancashire to 106-1 after 52 overs with Smith recording a calm and composed 60 not out while Chilton will resume tomorrow morning unbeaten on 32 off 147.
And now coach Peter Moores wants to find a way of winning. He commented: "We start the last day 20 ahead with one wicket down, which is going to be interesting to see how we get a result.
"We've been in the dressing room now talking about how we might do that. We want to bowl at them and put them under pressure. It is turning, which is one thing in a game that can accelerate it."
The hosts had started the day with a lead of only four runs with four wickets in hand after the start of play was delayed by rain, with 14 overs of the day's allocation of 96 lost.
Glen Chapple bowled Michael Bates and David Balcombe to reduce the Hampshire to 317-8 after 93 overs, but Cork and left hander James Tomlinson shared a frustrating 48 partnership for the ninth wicket.
Cork, 39 next Saturday, was in typically busy mood with the blade, despite only hitting three boundaries.
Tomlinson also added three fours in his 19 off 59 balls before edging Gary Keedy to Paul Horton at first slip during the afternoon session.
Left arm spinner Keedy then picked up his fourth wicket, wrapping up Hampshire's effort, when he had Danny Briggs superbly caught one handed by Chapple at short extra cover in the 113th over.
While Keedy finished with 4-56 from 25.2 overs, Chapple finished with 4-68 from 25. Lancashire failed to clinch a third bowling bonus point, the ninth Hampshire wicket falling with the second ball of the 111th over.
Although seven runs came off the first over of the visiting side's second innings, things were not looking good when Horton saw his off stump clipped by Tomlinson to leave the score at 8-1 in the fourth.
But Smith and Chilton steadied the ship up to and beyond the tea break, eventually guiding their side into a lead. While Smith was driving, sweeping and flicking with great confidence, Chilton was happy to drop anchor.
Smith swept the left arm spin of Briggs for a crisp maximum, the 24 year-old having scored 95 in the fixture here last year.

Weta Workshop Design Blog
So there's a new blog from the design team at Weta Workshop where we're posting a bunch of random illustrations outside of our normal day to day film work. The idea is that we come up with a brief that is loose enough that we have significant freedom of interpretation. There's a whole heap of rad stuff from my some very talented colleagues so go check it out!
Here are a few of my contributions with the related brief noted:

Saturday self portrait
Having not done any painting for a few weeks due to travel I thought I'd have a go at a self portrait to warm back into it on a Saturday afternoon. Took five hours total. I should have taken more work-in-progress shots at regular intervals as I only ended up with four. Next time...
Anyway, was a bit of fun to see what I could do in one session. Definitely need to do more life painting. And life drawing for that matter.

The release of the new album 'Everblack' from The Black Dahlia Murder has been announced and the artwork I contributed has been revealed. The job entailed the full layout for the package including a 3-panel gatefold illustration. It's actually a triptych of three separate oil on canvas paintings which I photographed then digitally stitched together into a sprawling landscape. The three paintings together measure 180cm wide.

Beastwars Rip It Up!
An odd job that came up recently was a cover illustration for Rip It Up magazine April/May issue. The mag's cover usually consists of photographs of featured musicians, so the opportunity to do a far-out digital painting of local Wellington band Beastwars was an opportunity not to pass up. Extra-terrestrial calamari anyone?
