Skateboarding is one of the few sports that has become a real way of life. The skate culture and its aesthetics have influenced since the 80's until now the world of music, fashion, art, cinema and photography. Many designers have taken the iconic pieces of clothing of this youth culture to reinvent them: tight pants, t-shirts paired with sweatshirts with hood, slip-on shoes and more have become a new creative concepts for designing collections. We selected for you some brands that have review the skate style in their contemporary vision.
Huf was founded by Keith Hufnagel. Grown up in New York, lover of skateboarding, in 1992 decided to move to San Francisco to follow his greatest passion. Soon thereafter, Hufnagel became a professional skater. In those years he opened a small boutique in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco. The aim of Hufnagel was to bring together under one roof the most respected brands in the skater world. He called the store Huf, where he integrated into a single label what symbolized the skateboard, streetwear and urban fashion. The brand looks to classic american art and to timeless design with modern details in order to produce clothes that incorporate past, present and future. Huf offers a unique range of products that reflect sophistication and modernity. The label took part in many exclusive collaborations: with Snoop Dogg, Supply Co. and Haze, Kendrick Lamar and many others.
Alex Olson is a Los Angeles professional skateboarder and the founder of the brand Bianca Chandon. Son of the skateboarding legend Steve Olson, in 2014 Alex decided to create his own brand. The line was born from the images of two icons like Bianca Jagger and Olivier Chandon. Everything about the Bianca Chandon line is meticulously thought, every piece is available only in a limited editions and the fashion advertising of the brand display beautiful girls with long hair, with shirts and high-waisted trousers. A strong message inspired by the love for the seventies skater subculture. More than onces the label has been recognized as leader in skaters fashion. Bianca Chandon unified the opposing worlds of the skate culture and fashion with a subversive approach, with collections that speak of the first club culture and the beginning of nineties sportswear. The brand has had several collaborations for example with the legendary New York club Paradise Garage. Bianca Chandon differs from most of the other labels creating its real strength in the embrace of the subcultures.
Founded in 2011 by Pontus Alv in Malmo, Sweden. In few years Pontus alongside creative minds of Stefan Narancic and Jacob Ovgren succeeded to take off his brand. For many years Pontus Alv has been involved in the european and world skateboarding scene, showing his unconditional love for this sport and for the DIY culture. Pontus launched his brand Polar Skate Co. in Europe, focusing on the production of quality clothing and products with a unique aesthetic. The label is recognizable not only for iconic hats, t-shirts and hooded sweatshirts but also for their events and videos, that lead the brand to the worldwide fame. In 2013 won the prize for european skateboard society of the year. Pontus combines in his collections his skater vision and a strong graphic that came from the fashion industry. In 2014 Polar Skate Co. realized a collection with the brand Converse All Stars and another one with Carhartt. Pontus is the art director, illustrator, filmmaker, publisher, skaters and the innovator of the DIY art. With the help of co-founder and artist Stefan Narancic, he managed to ensure that the Polar Skate co. quickly became known for its impressive graphics with surreals disjointed and modern illustrations, original and intriguing in their own way.

May 1st, 1975 is a very important date in the history of the investing. Up until then, stock brokers charged a fixed commission on all transactions. For example, a 100 share lot might cost $35, a 1000 share lot would cost $350 and a 10,000 share lot would cost $3,500. There was no discounting for larger orders (even though the actual execution costs did enjoy economies of scale), and no negotiating.
The SEC (Securities Exchange Commission) ended that on May 1st, 1975 with the abolition of the fixed schedule, which had been in place since the signing of the Buttonwood Agreement in 1792. Within three weeks, commissions had dropped in half.
Perhaps even more interesting, was the story of one of the pioneers of the discount brokerage industry that arose from the ashes of the Buttonwood agreement: Muriel Siebert. She was the very first woman to hold a seat on the New York Stock Exchange when she purchased her membership in 1967. At the time, there were 1,365 other members – all men. If that wasn't enough, she founded her own brokerage in 1969 and turned it into the first national discount brokerage on May Day.

"This was our last trip before having kids. Our sole objective was to rage hard and honor Toto properly. Hope you enjoy :)"
Watch the hilarious video below and behold the glory of Dax and Kristen lip syncing through Africa to an 80s rock classic: "Africa".

Among Wimbledon's queens of mean, British hope Heather Watson wants to prove that nice girls can triumph.
Watson admits that life on tour can be lonely, with a strict pecking order meaning the star names are seen but rarely heard by those rising through the ranks.
But she's determined a fierce competitor on court can still be friendly off it.
The 22-year-old British number one is an approachable and popular fixture on the WTA circuit and she arrives at Wimbledon in form.
This week she became the first British player in 32 years to reach the last four at Eastbourne and claimed the first top-20 scalp of her career with a victory over Italy's Flavia Pennetta.
It means a likely improvement of ten spots on her current world number 70 ranking and gives her plenty of confidence as she prepares to take on another talented youngster, Croatian Ajla Tomljanovic, at the All England Club.
"Wimbledon is a big tournament for British tennis but it's not all about one tournament for the players," she said.
"There is no point doing well at Wimbledon and not getting consistent results throughout the rest of the year.
"You need consistency to establish your ranking, so that's why you can't base your whole year what happens there.
"I'd love to do well as it's a very special tournament, especially for British players. I need to remember that I've had some good weeks and I wouldn't have got into the draw if it wasn't for those performances.
"People talk about pressure on home players but this is my favourite season of the year. I don't see any negatives in it at all, but then I never really look at negatives."
Watson has not had it easy since announcing her promise with a junior victory at the US Open five years ago.
She famously left her Guernsey home before her teens to follow her dream in Florida at Nick Bollettieri's famous school of tennis hard knocks.
In 2012, she sprained her ankle playing football on Christmas Day and went on a demoralising losing streak, that saw her question her future in the sport and drop her mother Michelle from her coaching team.
More early exits followed last year before she was diagnosed with glandular fever, with an ignominious first-round Wimbledon loss not improving her mood.
But the trademark sunny disposition that marked her breakthrough is back now the gloom of recent years appears to have lifted.
And a new coach, Diego Veronelli, and a new game plan is giving her rightful cause for optimism.
"It's been a tough couple of years but I'm a different person now," she added.
"I didn't really want to remember last year because losing is no fun but I'm enjoying my tennis now, and playing a lot better.
"You appreciate being fit and healthy but you are also stronger for the experience of being ill or injured, it can motivate you to find new levels with your game.
"Confidence is really important. I've got two titles already this year and I lost a tough game in the French Open to the girl that almost won it."
There is a sense that fortunes are finally shifting for Britain's women's tennis - with Watson and the injured Laura Robson leading the way.
There are five home players in the main draw at SW19 with Watson joined by Naomi Broady, Tara Moore, Samantha Murray and Johanna Konta.
And there is extra significance, with all playing for former British number one Elena Baltacha, who passed away in May after a short battle with liver cancer.
"It was an absolute shock that we are never going to see her again," adds Watson, who was mentored by Baltacha when she joined the tennis circuit as a schoolgirl.
"Our thoughts are just with her friends and family and not just us British players but everybody in the whole WTA circuit is there, thinking about her."

DTD at MC #39
Sunday, February 25, 2007
Good afternoon everyone,
This has been a very eventful week for EU.
We had a great weekend at the Northern Division Conference. The story of that weekend was told by Shawn Selby here on our Blog. I hope that you all checked that out. A very well written article I think.
Then just after that, on Feb. 20th to be exact, the Chapter Web site was totally upgraded. Adam Hopkins (the Chapter webmaster) did a great job, please go check it out. I think you will be as impressed as I was.
There is one section of the site that I would like to bring to your attention. It is under the Alumni section of the site, the Alumni Database Form, The nice thing about this form, is that it allows the Alumni to keep the Chapter (and me!) updated about new email addresses, snail-mail addresses, life changes, etc.
PLUS (and this is important), there is a place for you to let the Chapter know who your Big Brother and Little Brothers were. This will allow the Undergrads to update and correct the errors that are in the Big Brother Board at the chapter. We are aware that there are some errors there, please help us get them corrected. Aside from that, I hope that you will go check out the new site, because there has been a lot of work put into the upgrade.
While Hops was working on the Web site upgrade (without letting me know! So much for being on the "inside"), I was bugging him for some help on the address list. And, as usual, he didn't let me down. He went through and put an asterick next to all of the Chapter presidents' names. I know it isn't much, but I thought that it would be nice to honor those of us who served as president. Did you know that there were two who served two years? I had forgotten. Matt Dole, of course, was one. Do you know who was the other? Check out the address book and find out.
One thing that was a bit disheartening, there are several past presidents that don't have an address on file. I think that we need to be in contact with all of them. Check out the address book and help find the missing for us. Thanks for that.
I still have no news to report about the ritual equipment fundraiser. But I still have to ask that you consider making a donation so we can replace the worn out equipment. Send your checks to the Crescent Colony of Marietta Inc., c/o Bob Ferguson, 507 Wooster St., Marietta, Ohio 45750. Make a note on your check that it is for ritual equipment. Thank you. This is the last request until I get some information to pass along to you.
I have some new addresses to pass along to you and, as usual, some names I need some help with. So let's get started.
Trent Leupp and Jay Read both sent in new email address. I've removed them from this post for privacy, but they are available in Alumni section of the Chapter Web site.
Tom Tintera sent me a copy of a letter sent written in 1967. It may be the first effort in a Chapter mailing. Hops and Shawn will try to figure out how to get it posted here on the Blog.
Rick,The names I need help on are below:
I came across this newsletter the other day. I am directly to the right of the left pillar. I thought you would enjoy this historical document.
Tom Tintera '71
Willliam Warner '68, Ken Weaver '75, Scott Gilmore '79, Dean Didato '84, Rodney Wells '89, Seth Pitasky '93, Eric Knapp '99, Seth Wolfson '04, Joshua Harris '08.
That's all I have this week. Hope to see all of you at the golf outing in April (the cost is generally $50, though I haven't heard about this year) and if not then, Homecoming is in October. And our 40th anniversary is in October 2008, I hope you are planning on that special weekend.

We're BIG fans of The Jim Henson Company shows (like Dinosaur Train & Sid the Science Kid)! So, we were excited to hear about a new CGI animated preschool series from the Jim Henson Company and DHX Media (Yo Gabba Gabba, SuperWHY!) called DOOZERS. Doozers is the first Hulu Original for kids (this post is sponsored by Hulu) and the show is available to watch on Hulu starting today! We love science, DIY, and creativity around here! So the whole premise of the show is right up our alley. The boys watched the first episode on Hulu today and were instantly drawn it!
The animated preschool series DOOZERS focuses on four Doozers kids, a team of best friends who live in Doozer Creek, a fantastical, modern, and eco-friendly community. Dubbed "the Pod Squad," Spike, Molly Bolt, Flex, and Daisy Wheel bounce from one fabulous kid adventure to the next, engaging in exciting projects and having a blast playing together.
The Pod Squad loves to DESIGN, CREATE, and INNOVATE. These Doozers are DOERS – they put their ideas into action! If that sounds like work, think again! What kid wouldn't want to design their very own Doozer Derby racing car, fly in a jetpack (or better yet…fly with a kaleidoscope of butterflies!), or build a giant life-sized gingerbread house?! Whatever they are doing, the Pod Squad always manages to have a fantastic time!
Aren't those Doozers cute?! It's definitely a great show for young kids to have streaming access to, perfect for traveling (or long waits at places)! For more info about the #Doozers, be sure to check out the official website. You can also visit Hulu Kids, like Hulu on Facebook, follow Hulu on Twitter, Google+ and Instagram!
Now, how about a fun giveaway?! 🙂 One (1) winner will receive a 6-month Hulu Plus Gift Subscription AND a Roku Streaming Stick (value $97.93). Enter via the Rafflecopter form below, through May 4th at 11:59pm PST, for your chance to win (US Residents only). Good luck!

Abortion Referendum delayed further
A referendum to repeal the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland would not be held until 2018 at the earliest, after the Irish government reached a compromise on the issue on Tuesday.
A Bill proposed by the Anti-Austerity Alliance-People before Profit TDs – which seeks to hold a referendum to remove the equal right to life of the mother and the unborn – cannot yet progress to the second stage.
The Citizen's Assembly is currently assessing the issue and asked for six months to complete its work.
The deal struck by Fine Gael and the Independent Alliance commits to another six months for the recommendations to be reviewed by an Oireachtas Committee.
And while this would mean that a referendum could realistically be held in early 2018, some TDs noted that the second half of the year would be a more likely scenario.
Ruth Coppinger, the Anti-Austerity Alliance TD, launched a scathing attack on the deal while at the Dáil plinth.
"This is a sell-out and betrayal by the Independent Ministers like Katherine Zappone, John Halligan and Shane Ross," she said.
"Ministers, who said they are in favour of repeal, will line up and vote as part of the government against repealing the Eighth Amendment. They are putting their ministerial seats before the health and lives of women.
"This vote will guarantee that no referendum will take place during the life-time of this government.
"By the time the Citizen's Assembly reports back, the Oireachtas Committee sits and then a Bill is passed through both houses, the earliest opportunity for a referendum will be late 2018 or early 2019, by that stage this government may not be in power.
"They have sent a clear message to women telling them they can continue to wait."
Mr Ross, however, argued that the Alliance had secured a number of positives, particularly setting a time-frame for proceedings.
He said: "If you think achieving a six-month time-frame for both those institutions is nothing…It was 30 years ago that I opposed putting this into the Constitution.
"Now we are moving very fast in those terms. It is a very divisive issue. We are going to have to do something that is sensible and brings people along with us."

What a great theme this is! I had no trouble with this theme because books are plentiful, rhymes are easy to find, and craft ideas abound. If you need a story time in a hurry, this is a great theme to grab! Remember to see my story time flow under my Preschool Story Time tab to see the dances and other activities we do weekly!
Books we used:Stick by Steve Breen
If you haven't seen this book, its quite adorable. Stick is a frog who seems to get stuck to a bunch of different things as he explores his world. There are so few words in this book, but there are a lot of pages with multiple panels with no words at all. We read this book so slowly so everyone in the room could see all of the pictures. This was probably my mistake of story time. My room was full and it took quite a while to get through this book because everyone was spread out. For the second and third readings, it was much easier because my crowds were smaller. Not a great book for large story times, but the kids really liked the funny situations of the book.
The Big Wide-Mouthed Frog - Ana Martin Larranaga
One of my favorite stories to tell, I decided to make felts based on Ana Martin Larranaga's book of the same name. Click to see my Flannel Friday post on this flannel set. This was the highlight of my story time. I taught the Frog's refrain before we started: "I'm a Big Wide Mouthed Frog and I eat flies!" I also slowed this story down so the kids could participate. One of my goals of story time is to show the kids how to retell stories at home with their own expression and props. I gave them copies of the text, had LOTS of copies of the book on hand for borrowing, and our craft was their prop. The kids adored this story and so did the moms. I even got a hearty applause for my efforts.
Too Many Frogs by Ann and John Hasset
Nana Quimby is trying to bake a cake, but she keeps hearing a thump thump on her cellar door! When she opens it, she is overrun with TOO MANY FROGS! What will Nana Quimby do? And will she ever finish that cake? Any book with a repetitive refrain will have the kids joining in, and that is just what happened with this book. The kids loved it!
The Croaky Pokey- By Ethan Long
This was my wildcard book - the extra one I always have on hand if the kids are really enjoying story time. Well, in three story times this week, I did the book each time. They loved singing it, they loved dancing it, and they loved the surprise ending! It's the Croaky Pokey! Enough said!
Finger Plays and Songs this week:
We sang only one verse of 5 Green and Speckled Frogs, because we were getting short on time. I gave a handout to the kids with the 5 frogs and a log for them to use as flannel boards, coloring, or singing at home.
A fingerplay I used is used from www.prekinders.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/frog-fingerplay.pdf
Croak Said the Frog (make croaking sound)
With his golden eyes (put fists up to eyes)
Sitting on a lily pad
Catching Flies (grab air with hand)
I have a sticky tongue (with index finger, make a darting motion)
It's as FAST as can be!
I catch mosquitoes
1-2-3 (count with fingers).
I was so happy to find this PDF from Teacher's friend with 46 different paper bag puppets!
As I have mentioned, I like to give kids the tools to retell stories at home using props. This was probably not as creative as a craft as I would have liked to use, but hearing the kids walk out of the room with their puppets and saying "I am the WIDE MOUTHED FROG and I EAT FLIES" absolutely made my whole week.
Last thoughts:One book I maybe should have used in place of Stick was A Frog Thing by Eric Drachman. I went back and forth between the two books. I know I will do this theme again and when I do, I will be trying out A Frog Thing for sure.
I could not have been happier with this theme overall. In story time today, the kids were shouting "READ IT AGAIN!" which was really heartwarming. Its true that kids can tell when you are comfortable and love what you are reading. It shines through to them, so keep picking books and themes that you love and are excited about, and the kids will want you to 'read it again' too!

Welcome to our web site
Holy Trinity is a living Church. It was built to serve God and we keep the service of God at the forefront of all we do.
Serving God means that we must also serve our local community. That sense of 'serving' our community includes the so-called occasional offices of baptism, wedding and funeral. It also includes using our resources – our time and the buildings of Church and Hall – to build up our local community in terms of togetherness and cohesion, training and being a resource. We also use the building for educational visits, concerts, and for a local Community Choir.
Much of this website relays the history of our building. Holy Trinity Church in Waterhead was built over a period of more than half a century, starting in 1848. In fact, the building has been in a state of continual change during much of its 169-year history. The most recent reordering was in 2012–2016.
We are grateful to the Heritage Lottery Fund, whose generous support enabled us to build this new website.

Pitch 8 1/3 innings of no-hit ball.
Floyd was so good Tuesday it almost went unnoticed that the Sox's offense scored its most runs in almost two weeks in a 7-1 victory over the Twins that broke a six-game losing streak and moved them to within one game of first place in the American League Central.
It was the second time this season Floyd has flirted with a no-hitter, this one going into the ninth before Joe Mauer crunched a slider into the left-field gap that eluded the glove of diving center fielder Nick Swisher.
How close did Swisher come as 23,480 fans held their breath at U.S. Cellular Field?
"Not close enough," he said. "I didn't make the catch, but I was going for it. … I have never been a part of anything like that.
"The win is great for us, but I wanted that for Gavin."
On April 12, Floyd no-hit the Tigers for 71/3 innings and was removed from the game after giving up a hit. He left after 81/3 this time, but unlike the first time he already had allowed a run when the Twins scored a fourth-inning run thanks to a walk, an error and sacrifice fly.
Is it inevitable Floyd someday will get those final two outs?
"Who knows?" Floyd said. "It's out of your control. I'm out there trying to throw strikes and get people out. You never know what's going happen.
"Hopefully I throw a no-hitter, but we got the win."
And it was a badly needed victory, what with the Sox's offense hitting just .189 over the previous 10 games.
"Our pitching staff has been doing a tremendous job," manager Ozzie Guillen said. "The way they throw right now, it makes me upset and sad [the bats] don't help."
But the offense was back in a higher gear with 11 hits and starting first- and fourth-inning rallies with walks. Carlos Quentin and Jermaine Dye each had a pair of RBIs and new leadoff man Orlando Cabrera scored a pair of runs.
"We did what we were doing at the beginning of the season," Guillen said. "We made those guys pitch, we didn't swing at too many bad pitches, we got base hits with two outs. Our problem was we were swinging at everything thrown to us, then we got a little bit anxious, got deep in a hole and couldn't come out."
Floyd didn't dominate from the beginning, walking back-to-back batters in the first inning, then limiting the damage with two straight fielder's-choice ground outs.
The best defensive play came on the last out of the fifth inning when shortstop Cabrera gloved Carlos Gomez's grounder behind second base and fired to first for the out.
He retired 13 in a row before Mauer's hit, which prompted Guillen to call on Bobby Jenks for the final two outs.
"He got better as the game went on," said catcher A. J. Pierzynski, who caught Mark Buehrle's no-hitter on April 12 last season. "At the start he wasn't very good at all."
Pierzynski broke an 0-for-15 skid with a pair of hits. Juan Uribe, hitting .181 at game time, also had two hits. Dye hit a homer to lead off the sixth inning that gave the Sox a league-high 28 solos for the season.
The offense had prompted calls for changes in personnel and for the head of hitting coach Greg Walker.
"We don't need [new] hitters, we don't need a [new] hitting coach, we just need to swing at better pitches," Guillen said. "That's all we have to do."
Plus, get near-perfect pitching like Tuesday night.

A Killa instinct
By David Hennessy
"It was a little bit scary," Republic of Ireland's third most capped player of all time Kevin Kilbane remembers telling Big Sam Allardyce, his assistant manager at Preston North End, that he wanted to snub a call-up to England's Under-18s. "It was quite nerve racking going in to tell him that I didn't particularly want to go and play for England. Throughout my life growing up, I wanted to play for Ireland."
Growing up in Preston with a mother from Longford and a father whose roots were in Achill Island, Mayo, Kevin's heroes growing up were all Irish and the green shirt was the only international shirt he ever wanted to wear. But the current West Ham manager was furious. As he never got the opportunity to play for his country, he took Kevin's words as an insult.
"We've got a little bit of stick over the years, saying we've recruited anyone who's had a pint of Guinness over the years and of course we have exploited the rules to their full potential there but there's so many of my team mates that were from very similar backgrounds to me over the years. All of them are very, very proud, equally as much as I am to play for Ireland. It's where I wanted to be, there's only one country that I did want to play for if I'm being totally honest."
After calming down, Allardyce called Mick McCarthy to make him aware of Kilbane's allegiances. Kevin played nine times for Republic of Ireland bU-21s before being called up to the senior squad in 1997. Kilbane earned 110 caps and scored eight international goals. He travelled to the World Cup in Japan/South Korea with Mick McCarthy's squad in 2002 and played in the successful Euro 2012 qualifying campaign. An incredible record Kevin holds is playing in 66 consecutive competitive games for his country, never missing one from 1999 to 2011.
At club level, Kevin moved from Preston North End to Wigan Athletic before Peter Reid paid £2.5 million to take him to Sunderland. He had stints at Everton, Wigan Athletic and Hull City before finishing his career at Coventry. Kevin now analyses football for BBC.
His recent autobiography provided Kevin with the opportunity to revisit his career highs and lows but also to do something for charities close to his heart: The Down's Syndrome Association and Down Syndrome Ireland. In the book, Kevin writes about finding out his daughter Elsie had down's syndrome and the adjustment that followed. A big help at this time was club and international team mate Lee Carsley who has a son with the condition: "First and foremost, I wanted to do it for the Down's Syndrome Association and Down's Syndrome Ireland."
The most rewarding thing anybody could say to Kevin about his book is that it has helped them similar times: "I think I've spoken about it to quite a few families over the years I've met in certain situations. It is quite difficult for families to adjust certainly in the early years but the big message is probably you can get through it and there's ways to get through it. There's always going to be downsides along the way, I think you've just got to take the positives and try to draw on past experiences from other people, try to learn and help if you can as well.
"There's so much you see (about the condition) in the papers and on TV, there is a lot of people that probably do need to be educated and not just on down's syndrome but on various other conditions that I wouldn't be too familiar with. It's obviously something I've got a vested interest in and if I can try to help and try to put the condition in a positive light, it is my duty to try to do that. Hopefully just with the book coming, it can help someone, some family somewhere along the line."
Kevin's account of Saipan is very interesting, taking the reader into the Republic of Ireland 2002 world cup camp for the build up to and explosive bust up between Mick McCarthy and captain Roy Keane. Looking back, should there have been some mediation from senior players to retain Keane's services? "It was a personal thing to Roy, it happened between him and Mick. Of course we all look back, we always think that he was one of the best in the world at that time and we would have been a better team if Roy had played for us at the world cup.
"It will go down as probably the biggest sporting moment in Irish history and I think there are not too many people from our generation that can forget what happened at that time whether you were in Ireland or there, it was a huge moment."
Keane voiced regret at not featuring in that tournament in a documentary that looked back on his career and rivalry with Patrick Vieira but this cuts little ice with those who have never forgiven him for leaving his country at a crucial time: "I did see that. Certainly for me the highlight of my career was playing in the world cup. There's been some real highs throughout my club career but playing for Ireland was always the highlight, it will always be the world cup. It's something I can look back on in 30, 40 years or however long I'm here so I can understand Roy thinking like that. He got the opportunity to play in one in '94 as well so I'm sure that was a highlight of his career but of course he said himself he would have loved to have been there at that time in Japan and South Korea."
Hand of Frog
The veteran former international was also present for the infamous Thierry Henry handball that unjustly kept an Irish side out of the 2010 world cup. It must be hard to accept something so wrong, does it still hurt? "No, I think it's gone now. At the time when we did the book it probably was a bit more raw. We were so close to qualifying for another world cup and the way that we did go out, it was disappointing. A lot of people blame Thierry Henry for that incident, I don't blame him for it because that's the sort of thing that happens on the pitch. Officials missed it, we were disappointed even at the time with the officials and how it went for us but I think looking back now we played with a lot of pride that night, we played very well against a strong French team. I think overall the disappointing thing is that we probably did throw it away to an extent in the home leg because we just didn't play well enough."
Kevin writes about a team meeting that took place ahead of the Paris decider where Republic of Ireland had to overturn a 0-1 disadvantage. Held without manager Giovanni Trapattoni's presence, it was decided to reject his defensive strategy in favour of a more attacking style. Was this not undermining their manager? "A lot of people have commented on this to me since the book's come out. I think there were rumours circulating at that time that we had had a meeting and we did. We had a chat about a few things and we felt as if we were better than that first game. I think if I'm an outsider looking in, you say: 'Yeah, you probably have undermined the manager..' But I don't' think we felt like that from the inside, we felt as though we owed it to ourselves and the supporters: 'We can go out, give a better account of ourselves, stop them playing, pressurise them…' We did that in Paris and we should have won. We did win the game over 90 minutes, we should have qualified, gone through but it just wasn't to be for us."

Killa on… Republic of Ireland's future
"Martin's the manager, Martin will make the decisions and it's a different role for Roy to play. I said it when I first heard of the appointment: I think we could have a management team there for a very long time whether or not Martin decides to stay on after his contract. If he doesn't, we could have a readymade replacement in Roy behind him and that would be great for us to have that continuity for such a long time within the squad.
"I think Roy's very presence being around there, he's going to raise standards of the team. I think he's going to raise people's expectations as well just by him being in and around that set up as well. I think it was a good appointment."
"I think it's a good draw. Germany will win the group, I think we all accept that but I think if we can't finish in second or third place, we've got real problems. I really fancy our chances because I think there's a lot of positivity about the team now, there's a lot of good quality within the squad. If you look throughout the team, there are good players who are playing at the top of their game now so I don't see any reason why we can't go and qualify.
"Poland and Scotland will be big big games for us both home and away. Poland have proved they'll bring a big following to Dublin, we'll have a big following out in Poland so that will bring back a lot of good memories for the supporters and their fond memories of 2012.
"I think Scotland will be tough for us, we know that. It will be pretty much like a derby game for a lot of players but it's the sort of game that you want to part of, you want to be part of these big games in a competitive match and I think the players will be right up for that."
Group D Euro 2016 qualifying
Republic of Ireland
Killa on… David Moyes
The current Manchester United manager David Moyes features heavily in Kilbane's book both as his Preston North End team mate and later, his manager at Everton. Now that the pressure mounts on Moyes, is it hard for Kevin to analyse his friend's team's performances? "You've just got to comment on the games that you see. I was out in Athens last week when they were playing against Olympiakos and you can't get away from the fact that it was a bad performance, and you've got to analyse it from that regardless of my relationship with David, and I think he'd do the same if the shoe was on the other foot.
"But looking at it from a personal point of view, of course I feel for him. I want him to succeed because I think he's got all the attributes to be a successful Manchester United manager but it's a tough time for him and it was going to be a tough time for anyone, whoever took over from Sir Alex Ferguson but I believe he's got the strength of character, the know how and the belief in himself to go on and be a success there."
Killa on… Tom Finney
The first chapter of Kevin Kilbane's book begins with the following quote: "Football united the kids. You didn't have to call for your mates; simply walking down the street bouncing a ball had the Pied Piper effect. We could smell a game from a hundred yards."
This quote may have summed up Kevin's childhood that featured games between him and the other kids of Irish heritage against the English lads. It was said by Sir Tom Finney, the Preston North End and England legend who died last month.
Kevin pays tribute to him: "I came into contact with him quite a few times when I was at Preston. A lot of the time it was just to say hello: A really, really nice man. I've not heard one person say one bad thing about him in all the time I grew up in Preston. I think that's probably testament to him.
"There's a statue at Preston, there's a stand named after him, there's even a road named after him in Preston. There's that much has been in Preston to honour his life and it's so thoroughly deserving not only for what he's done on the pitch, it's what he's done off it. He did so much charity in and around the town as well as well, he's done great work. There'll be so many different ideas that are going to come out about how we're going to honour him now but every single one of them will be fully justified."
Killa: The Autobiography by Kevin Kilbane is out now on Aurum Sport. Royalties from the book are donated to the Down's Syndrom Association and Down's Syndrome Ireland.

The right food is important once you and your wife decide to conceive. Your body's sperm production will be boosted health-wise, as well as in volume.
This will increase your chances of a successful conception. Adjust your diet to add food that can promote healthy reproduction as well as sperm enhancement before you try to create a baby with your partner to make sure your semen is as healthy as you can make it.
- Tomatoes – they're chock-full of lycopene which has many health benefits – including an increase in sperm count and semen. If you consume tomato products regularly, your semen volume will increase, and keep your swimmers healthy. This raises the odds on your side for conception. Pasta and pizza sauce are good sources of lycopene, so have them in your diet. There are other good sources of lycopene too, like pink grapefruit and guavas. It is necessary to eat foods that have lycopene since they are not found in your standard multivitamins which you may be taking. Also if you eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, including tomatoes, your weight will be steady at a normal level. This is also necessary for semen enhancement.
- Asparagus – a healthy amount of semen may be produced if you have a lot of fruits and vegetables in your diet as mentioned above. One of the best vegetables to have in your diet is asparagus. It is high in folic acid or folate, which reduces the risk of having neural tube birth defects in pregnant women. It is also particularly important for semen volume health. It has antioxidants that boost sperm health and raises the amount of healthy semen for conception. Broccoli, citrus fruits and okra are also good sources of folate, hence higher sperm volume. You can also get folate from multivitamins.
- Oysters – known as an aphrodisiac around the world, the oyster contains high amounts of zinc. Zinc is vital in male reproduction because it promotes the function and production of healthy semen. Add oysters to your diet if you are trying to conceive, to boost the amount of zinc in your body. If you're allergic to or hate oysters, there are other foods that are also high in zinc. Red meat, wheat, barley, seeds, nuts, lamb and turkey have high zinc content. You can also ask your doctor about supplements that can give you your recommended daily allowance of zinc. If you eat six oysters, then you can have about 76 micrograms of zinc.
- Water – nothing will function as they should without water. You should have at least 8 glasses of water everyday which can boost your semen enhancement and keep the sperm healthy.
When you are trying to conceive a baby, everything you do is important. Make sure you incorporate these foods into your diet to boost your chances of conception.
Your partner will also benefit from these foods, so let her eat them, too. Good luck to you both.

I am installing my first vinyl replacement window over an aluminum frame (stucco wall). In all the instructional videos and the instructions that came with the window, the aluminum frame that is flush with the stucco wall is pretty thick (looks like between 1/2 to 1 inch), which allows for a nice big bead of sealant across the tops and sides.
My aluminum frame is very very narrow (see pictures, but less that 1/8" on all sides). It seems like I could still get a seal, but it it would be with quite a bit less caulking than is ideal. Is it still okay to install with these conditions, or do I need to return the window and consider an alternative / call a contractor?

How to Keep it Dangerous!
So many of us wonder how we can help the less fortunate or do good in this world as we struggle in our everyday lives. I present to you a list of things you should do and things you should not do. Of course the NOT list is my opinion, but you definitely want to take it into consideration. Some of these things will seen "duh" to you, but trust me there are people out there that don't know.
Read to your child: People were always amazed that my daughter, now six, could read at the age of two. That's because I read to her and spoke to her in the womb and I continued after birth by teaching her to read. Learning is not regulated to school.
Vote: If you're not registered, get registered. Many people died for us to have the right. If you want to see change you have to care enough to be involved in the process. Otherwise you have no right to complain.
Get tested for HIV/AIDS: HIV/AIDS is killing African Americans at an alarming rate. You need to know your status and protect yourself. Wear a condom and use dental dams. Not sure what a dental dam is and what it is used for? Please contact Wellness AIDS Services at (810) 232-0888. Testing, condoms, and education are FREE.
Donate items and time: Don't throw out those old clothes, donate them to the Goodwill, Salvation Army, or take them to your local consignment store where you can make money from the sale of each item. A record 1.1 million people benefited from Goodwill employment and support programs in 2007. Go to goodwill.org and salvationarmy.org for more details.
Be a Big Brother or Big Sister. There are so many children that do not see the positive side of life. Show them the way by donating your time. Go to www.bbbs.org for information.
Support each other: Know someone who is running a home based business? Buy from them and spread the word. Know someone who needs skills or knowledge that you have. Teach them. We've gotta stop the crabs in a barrel mentality. We have to love each other more and help each other succeed in life. Unity is lacking. Try it and it will return to you tenfold!
Be influenced by hip hop culture: It's entertainment. There's no need to emulate what your favorite rapper is doing in their music videos. He or she is acting for entertainment purposes only.
Put those tacky rims on your car: If you don't own a home and are barely getting by you don't need rims of any kind on your vehicle. Has your life gotten progressively better with rims? I doubt it!
Buy expensive clothes: I do not wear name brand clothing and I look damn good. In fact, any name brands I do own came from a consignment store or places like Goodwill as well as Target, Meijer's etc. When you buy brand names all you're doing is making someone else's pockets fatter and breaking yourself in the process. The clothes and products are not any better.
That's my time. Keep it Dangerous!

Bartenders have barbacks, helping to keep glasses clean and bars well-stocked, and hair stylists have assistants, helping to clean and prep the hair for styling, so what about nail techs? Can hiring cosmetology students or new graduates as assistants help your salon make more money?
Think about the last time you went into a busy bar. The bartender is usually so occupied taking drink orders and mixing up his fancy concoctions that he doesn't have a second to breathe, let alone restock the bar or wash glasses. But have no fear, because he's usually got backup in the form of a barback.
Many hairstylists use a similar approach with assistants — someone to help them get the client settled, offer the client a drink, wash the client's hair, and sometimes even help with the color mixing or blow drying. So why hasn't the nail industry embraced this practice wholeheartedly?
According to Roula Nassar, owner and president of Roula's Nail Spa in Houston, the problem might be two-fold. For one, she says, aspiring nail students might not be interested in being in charge of cleanup. And there isn't a logical place where the nail assistant could fit into the service.
She says that theoretically a hair assistant and nail assistant should be equally feasible, but the main difference is when a client is getting her hair done there are different functions that can logically be split up. For example, there is shampooing, coloring, and then the actual cutting. But for nails, there does not seem to be an easy way to break up the steps of the service. "Short of cleaning, disinfecting, and getting drinks, I don't know how else to split it up," says Nassar, "because I think it is unprofessional to breakup the actual manicure, pedicure, or enhancement services."
Julie Hoey, assistant general manager of Currie Hair Skin and Nails in Glen Mills, Pa., says hair assistants significantly help the salon by allowing more appointments to be booked closer together and by allowing the stylists to simply focus on the cutting and styling. But though there are differences between a hairstyling process and a nail service, there does seem to be an opportunity for the existence of a nail tech assistant if under the right circumstances.
So why not have an assistant work in whatever capacity best fits your salon's needs? Some salons have hired nail students to assist in cleaning and prepping stations for the nail technicians. The assistants can also greet clients, get them a drink, and lead them back to your station. They might also make sure the station — manicure or pedicure— is cleaned and stocked for whatever service the next client is receiving. And in doing so, the assistant will gain valuable knowledge of how your salon operates and real-world experience she isn't receiving at school.
Specialization Can Improve Efficiency
While Nassar does not have any nail tech assistants, she does employ a staff of cleaners to help keep the manicure and pedicure stations clean and sanitized. Nassar believes in specialization; she feels if a salon does not already have a cleaning staff, a nail tech assistant could assume that role and significantly improve the salon's efficiency.
For every five nail technicians who are working a given shift, one cleaning person is stationed on the floor to keep things tidy. Nassar reasons that if her nail technicians make an average of $70 an hour, then when they take five minutes to quickly sanitize and clean up after a manicure, it amounts to about $5.80 of lost revenue. So by having a cleaning person on-hand to handle these responsibilities, nail technicians can focus their efforts entirely on servicing clients and doing nails. Nassar says, "I'd rather pay somebody $8 an hour to assist in cleaning all of the spa chairs and setting them up, versus losing $5.80 for every five minutes a technician is dedicating her revenue-producing time to cleaning those stations."
The problem is this cleaning aspect may not appeal to assistants who aspire to become technicians. "Many times I've wished that I could offer a hybrid-type position of both a nail tech apprentice plus cleaning person, but I feel that nail tech assistants would really not be interested unless they would be able to work on nails and gain hands-on experience," says Nassar.
Nail Assistants in Action
While Nassar works with a housekeeping crew, there are other salons operating nail tech apprentice programs. One such program is in the Mario Tricoci salons. Gina Zimmer, the regional technical leader for the company's nail department, says the salon chain has been using such a program for the past eight years.
"If we have a woman who is in nail school, or maybe just out of high school and going to start a nail program in the fall, we'll hire her as a nail assistant and she'll do the towels, learn sanitation procedures ,and also get to observe the day-to-day business of being a nail technician," says Zimmer.
But these nail assistants are prohibited from actually working on clients' nails until they receive their license and complete a three-week training course at the Mario Tricoci Salon. So assistants get their hands-on training on off-days, when they can practice on family or friends or other employees. Under the supervision of nail technicians, assistants practice fills, full-sets, and polishing techniques and get feedback on how to improve. Then once an assistant receives her license, she can start her three-week training course and be on her way to becoming a full-fledged nail technician.
Mario Tricoci salons also employ cleaning people, whose sole responsibility is to keep the salon clean and sanitized. So the nail assistants fill a role that is somewhere between a cleaning person and a nail technician. They are in charge of making sure the towels and stations are set up properly and that all of the products are ready for the technician. They fill up the lotions and scrubs, and get everything together so the technician has everything she will need. Once the client comes in, the assistants make sure the services run smoothly and the guests have an enjoyable experience.

Young Progressives Stay Active, Defying Expectations
Young Progressives Stay Active, Defying Expectations
Contacts: Donna Smith, Progressive Democrats of America (720)-256-8373 email@example.com
Ian Schiffer, Young Progressives Demanding Action (310)-703-3601 firstname.lastname@example.com
Denver, Colorado--Progressive Democrats of America, (PDA), announces a new partnership with progressive college leaders called Young Progressives Demanding Action, (YPDA). Donna Smith, Executive Director of Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) says, "The Bernie Sanders-inspired Political Revolution astounded veteran political observers by mobilizing millions of Americans, including younger people."
Smith, a veteran organizer and progressive leader says, "The pundits predicted that young people would be disillusioned and disengage after the primaries. Defying these expectations, many young activists are launching Young Progressives Demanding Action (YPDA) and organizing chapters on college campuses throughout the country."
Smith adds, "PDA's work to engage students and younger voters takes a major step forward with the launch of YDPA chapters on college campuses in Hawaii, Ohio, California, Massachusetts, Vermont, Illinois, Alabama, and New York. Student leaders who supported Bernie Sanders agree with PDA that our political revolution has just begun. We're grateful that these leaders have decided to work with PDA. Together, we will reclaim our democracy."
Smith says, "We're welcoming Ian Schiffer, Elizabeth Lee, Morgan Johnson, and other student leaders to our PDA family. They've been active with College Students for Bernie and Young Democratic Socialists, (YDS) which is a part of Democratic Socialists of America, (DSA). PDA worked with lead-organizers National Nurses United (NNU), DSA, YDS, and dozens of other groups planning the People's Summit in Chicago, Illinois, where more than 3,000 Bernie Sanders supporters gathered to plan and share ideas last June. The student leaders contacted PDA to suggest an alliance after the Summit."
Smith explains, "Over our 12-year history, PDA has organized to achieve progress on important issues and has supported effective progressive candidates. In 2013, we launched the Run Bernie Run campaign to draft Bernie Sanders to run for president as a Democrat because of his leadership on the issues. In May 2014, we presented Sen. Sanders with 10,000s of signatures urging him to run, and when he did, we worked tirelessly organizing volunteers and holding events in nearly every primary and caucus state."
Ian Schiffer, one of the YDPA student leaders, defines the new organization's mission as follows, "Young Progressives Demanding Action is building a permanent progressive movement on college campuses, fighting for justice at the local, state, and federal levels. We believe in 'Justice or Bust,' by which we mean racial justice, social justice, environmental justice, economic justice, criminal justice, and electoral justice. We're working to ensure that this movement is inclusive and intersectional in nature, and will welcome the participation of all progressives."
Schiffer adds, "We advocate for student-centered progressive policy initiatives to unite the young progressive movement. We are already organizing for the Congressional Progressive Caucus People's Budget, the Black Lives Matter movement, and a Path to Citizenship, as well as eliminating debt and promoting equality in higher education. We seek to achieve progress through coalition building and community organizing around issues, rather than through parties, personalities, or candidates. YPDA is planning outreach on dozens of college campuses, and they already have commitments from other student leaders to launch new YPDA chapters."

How are you doing? I hope real good. I feel happy inside ..even though my circumstances ain't always so perfect.. and I'm just startin' off my day here looking at three truths from Scripture about happiness:
1.) God is joyously, exuberantly, happy, because He delights in God the Son.2.) God is happy because He doesn't change and is totally sovereign, not half sovereign or a third sovereign.3.) God's personal happiness is actually a foundation for our Christian living because this will actually spill on over in mercy to us who believe.
The Father says, "Behold my servant whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights" (Isa. 42:1). God is gracious and happy because He delights in how His loving nature is accurately reflected in His beloved Son.
I believe that God is happy because He is one hundred percent sovereign. Look at what Psalm 115:3 states, "Our God is in the heavens; he does whatever he pleases." That actually implies is that our Father's sovereignty is ultimately His right and His power to do whatever He desires, yes, that makes Him happy. Our God is in heaven—He be over It all.. all, All, ALL THINGS and He is subject to none, no one, and nothing.
Therefore, God pulls off whatever He pleases. God always acts in harmony with the Son and the Holy Spirit to preserve His maximum happiness. Down here on earth happiness (which so many seem to be all-out after..) evades those who seek it directly instead of seeking to make God happy. But God is happy because His righteous holy acts, which are always done out of love for His kids and to His own glory, can never be frustrated beyond His will.
See what Isaiah (chapter 43 verse 13) says, "I am God, and also henceforth I am he; there is none who can deliver from my hand; I work and who can hinder it?"
And "My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose" (Isa. 46:10).
And what Daniel said, "He does according to His will in the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay His hand or say to Him, 'What doest thou?'" (4:35).
We may be sure, therefore, that God is not selfish, but is indeed happy because He alone infinitely has absolute right and power as the Creator of it all to overcome every obstacle to His joy.
But, Kurt, how can a good God actually be happy when the sin-cursed world is so filled with human suffering and evil today?
Well, think of these two things. God is ultimately in charge and will even use the devil and his minions for His own glory.
That's was hard to grasp when my little sister, Kathy, was murdered some years ago for doing nothing wrong. My comfort and spiritual consolation didn't arrive from thinking that the Father was so weak that He couldn't divert the lost drug filled stalker-murderer from her home. It did come from knowing the Word of God personally and my assurance that He is completely sovereign. He took Kathy right after she got right with Him in prayer and in His own appointed time for her. One day I will clearly know how His will and timing has always been good.
What's God's personal attitude toward horrific, tragic events? He hurts and weeps with those who hurt and weep. And it depends on the focus of the lens so to speak.
God never delights in human pain or in the evil that people conspire against people. But if God's lens were hyper-narrow and focused merely on that injurious stuff alone, He could indeed be filled with grief-filled abhorrence alone. But when God opens His lens wider if you will.. to take in all the various connections to what happened and to all the effects of a certain event, even on into eternity future, then that certain event forms part of an intricate beautiful mosaic-ical-pattern which God would indeed delight in, and in which He wills at times. Yes, it's difficult for us ..but He allows some hurtful things to happen to Christians at times, so He will be glorified and so more people will turn and come through Christ on into His Kingdom by faith plus nothing.
Think about how He allowed for the death of His Son. Christ dying on the cross was the work of God the Father for the benefit of many. The Father has never been mean or cruel, but "We esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.. It was the will of the Lord to bruise Him and He has put him to grief" (Isa. 53:4, 10).
God the Father knew of the tremendous agony of his beloved Son Jesus. He knew of the terrible wickedness that happened all the way to the cross and the Father never delighted in those vicious things. Please know that God hates sin and the suffering of the innocent in itself. This is very abhorrent to the Father.
Of course we need to hate sin like He hates it. But according to Hebrews 2:10 the Father thought it was fitting to perfect the Person of our salvation through suffering so He allowed it. God actually willed what He Himself abhorred "in the narrow view" because "in the broad view which includes eternity" it was an appropriate and totally fitting way to demonstrate His own righteousness (see what Paul said in Romans 3:25).
He wanted to bring His people to glory (Heb. 2:10). God is omniscient. He still surveys the scans the history of His redemptive plan from the start to the finish and He is happy with what He sees. In faith, we can choose to rejoice and be happy in Him as well.
The Lord's personal happiness spills on over in mercy to us who believe. If our Father was antsy-frustrated, rad-bummed out, and whining, and pouty, and gloomy-depressed with inverted dejection or discontentment, or even grumbling inside.. then how would that be? Would you at that time feel like joining David the Psalmist in voicing, "O God, thou art my God, I seek thee, my soul thirsts for thee; my flesh faints for thee, as in a dry and weary land where no water is" (Ps. 63:1)?
How could children today ever enjoy time with their earthy fathers at home if their dads were so bummed out like that? They couldn't. Not gunna happen.
But I'm happy that God is infinitely happy. I have joy because He is joyous. Jesus had joy and He hasn't changed either. This is basic in Christian living—yes, to find yourself joyously, head over heels in love with God… to be happy in God, to delight yourself in the Lord with no idols added into the mix.. to fully cherish, respect, and enjoy intimate fellowship with God through Christ… to worship God alone for He is merciful.
In order for any sinner like me to pursue joy in God, the sinner has got to be confident inside that the Lord will not shine him on.. hold him away.. will not reject him.. will not shut him or her out when he or she repents and asks for forgiveness and true fellowship to be established.
God ain't mad at us because of the cross and He will indeed treat each of us with mercy when we honestly repent from our sin and seek Him through Jesus. He is the One who said in Jeremiah 9:24, "'I am the Lord who performs mercy and justice and righteousness in the earth, because in these things I delight' says the Lord."
Please don't strive in seeking out to find happiness for yourself. Please don't pin finding it on yourself or on your family or on your bank account or on your cool career or on some sport or hobby. No, shift it over on to a relationship with God for, "The Lord takes pleasure in those who hope in His steadfast love."
Are you in a well church with a spiritual pastor who likes to worship the Lord, teach the Word and win souls? Sometimes churches like this are hard to find, but keep looking even if you need to relocate. I know that circumstances aren't always so "well" or ideal down here, and that some people receive their healing on the day when they go home to heaven ..when others "catch healing" from the Lord earlier. I don't understand all that, but I do say travel well my friend ..in Jesus Christ. Walk well, travel well wherever He leads you. Yes, be happy and choose to be well on multiple levels …on as many as possible. You know how the early Church was W.E.L.L. Many churches are sadly sick and inverted today, but the early church was W.E.L.L. because it had growing well believers who cared about others.
I'm using an acrostic here.
They Worshipped God. They tactfully Evangelized sinners. They diligently and prayerfullly Learned the Scriptures and applied them properly. They Loved each other, fellowshipping with each others in the Spirit. You know living well in Christ sure beats traveling ill, angry, ungrateful, or unhappy in your spirit ..when you don't really have to be that way. I say choose for..
"Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but a manner of traveling." ~ Margaret Lee Runbeck
Yup, it has more to do with being made right inside and with the way you live, rather than a location on earth that you end up at due to lots of sweat and goal-setting (and I'm for some sweat and wise goal-setting).
"Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding." Proverbs 3:13
"People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be." ~ Abraham Lincoln
If you are not a believer with right priorities, then choose to become one like Abe was. He was well / healthy spiritually. Please know assuredly today ..if I can use such an odd, old term.. that zero, null, zip, nothin' in the whole wide world can frustrate the ultimate happiness of a merciful God (the true Bible God—there's only One).
It might sound kinda funny, but this God delights infinitely in His own glory. In His sovereignty He does and will continue to do whatever He pleases. Christian, He has your best interests at heart, so walk in His Love and in His Spirit today. If you opt to travel through this life unhappy, then why would anyone want what you have? We impart what we are. We can't export it, unless we first import it from the Lord. The Bible says, "Delight yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart" (Ps. 37:4). facebook.com/shareJesus

Roger Waters' two-story inflatable prop pig that floated off into the night sky between his festival-closing sets Sunday at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival plopped down Tuesday over two properties in nearby La Quinta, less than two miles from the Empire Polo Field, where the three-day event was held, festival officials said Wednesday.
"One of the women who found it called us and said, 'We found your pig, but it looks more like pulled pork," festival spokeswoman Marcee Rondan said.
Rondan said Coachella officials had not confirmed the names of the lighter-than-air pig wranglers, but the Desert Sun newspaper in Palm Springs identified them as Susan and Steve Solts and Judy and Patrick Rimmer. The paper also quoted them as saying they will donate the $10,000 reward money to children's music programs in their area.
The reward offered by Coachella officials for the pig's return also included four lifetime passes to future Coachella festivals, which the couples said they would divide. They also will receive all-access passes for this weekend's Stagecoach country music festival, which Rondan said they'd been planning to attend anyway.
Rondan said the pig will become part of the Coachella archives. Waters' appearance, she said, "was the first time anyone has ever performed back-to-back sets at Coachella. "So the pig is part of Coachella history now."

The integration of board leadership and the leadership over the day-to-day management of the corporation has been identified as a "fault" in the classic governance structure in the UK (Boyd, 1996). According to Parker (1994:42): "The main purpose of the proposals (of the Cadbury Committee, eds.) is to restore a healthier balance between quite different roles of an effective board of directors under the leadership of an independent chairman, and of the company's management under the leadership of a capable CEO. Such a balance is difficult, if not impossible, to sustain if the chairmanship is combined in one person." This opinion is also shared by the Institute for Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICA). In a report on the future of Britain's boards of directors, the ICA indicates that too many boards are dominated by the chief executive of the company and that a split between the role of the chair and CEO could resolve problems associated with a concentration of power in the boardroom (see box 7.2).
The Cadbury Committee recognized the need to reconsider the leadership structure of corporate boards. The Cadbury Report recommended: "Given the importance and particular nature of the chairman's role, it should in principle be separated from that of the chief executive. If the two roles are combined in one person, it represents a considerable concentration of power. We recommend, therefore,that there should be a clearly accepted division of responsibilities at the head of a company, which will ensure a balance of power and authority, such that no one individual has unfettered powers of decision. Where the chairman is also the chief executive, it is essential that there should be a strong and independent element on the board" (Cadbury Code, § 4.9).
Box 7.2
A Weakness in the British System
"Too many British boards are dominated by the chief executive of the company. Even when non-executive directors account for a significant fraction of the board, they often lack the authority, motivation and access to information which they need if they are to do an effective monitoring job. Thus the accountability of the chief executive to the board is weak. The problem is reduced but not necessarily eliminated if the post of chairman and chief executive are separated; a great deal then depends on the chairman's ability to lead the board, especially but not exclusively in its monitoring function, and on the relationship between him and the chief executive."
Source: Institute of Chartered Accountants (1995:8).
The Cadbury Committee felt that a separation of CEO and chair positions would be desirable in principle. Yet, according to Charkham (1994:267-268), the Committee ". . . stopped short of making a firm recommendation because it felt that it would be excessively prescriptive to rule out having a concentration of power under any circumstances." As such, the committee did not insist on a total separation of the chair and CEO roles. The Hampel committee also did not require the separation of the roles of chairman and CEO, although the committee prefers the separation of roles to the combination of these board roles.
According to Hampel (1998b): "There are two key tasks at the top of every public company – the running of the board and the executives responsibility for the running of the company's business. There should be a clear division of responsibilities at the head of the company which will ensure a balance of power and authority, such that no one individual has unfettered power of decision" (Hampel, 1998b:14). This principle has resulted to the recommendation of Hampel that require corporations to publicly disclose the leadership structure of their boards. The Combined Code also requires corporations listed at the LSE to identify the chairman, the CEO and senior independent director(s) [33] in annual reports.
