Saturday, June 11, 2011Where it's at: some small press titles
I haven't completely vanished off the face of the planet. I have been reading and doing a little bit of writing and sorting out some new publishing agreements (more on that soon).
Wanted to post this, as what with the current transition some of the bigger presses and bookshops are going through, it's nice to know that the small press is always there, ready to appreciate your hard-earned cash with some quality releases, which might slip under the radar of your usual Best Seller readers. Here's a few I read over the last week or so:
A Life On Fire by Chris Bowsman
Grindhouse Press
Gerald McManner does not have a happy life. His job is boring and he goes home to an empty house. Every day is pretty much the same, until one day when his dreams become nightmares and the boredom becomes insanity. Will he find his way back to the light, or burn in his alcohol and depression fueled hell?
Bowsman has created a strange, beautiful and heart-wrenching story that will continue to haunt you long after you've read the last sentence. A must-read! – Gina Ranalli, author of Praise the Dead
Very heartbreaking. It reads like an absurdist's survival guide to Stephen King's The Mist. – Nathaniel Lambert, author of The Horribles
A violent nightmare of Charlie Kaufman proportions. – William Pauley III, author of The Brothers CrunkDan: I bought this on a very reasonable pre-order, and was already laughing before I started the book, what with the author's graffiti and exclusive piece of flash written on the inside cover.
The story is very dark comedy with bizarre elements, that do nothing to detract from the plot and rattlesnake-quick pace. This is definitely a one sitting read, which was my only real complaint about the book. I wanted more! Be interesting to see what the author does with 80, 000 words or so, as his characterisation pulls you in and the random imagery will keep you guessing. Highly recommended and at a crazy $7.95, I can't think why you shouldn't snag yourself a copy of this short, sharp gem. Go buy! Hang on, read other reviews, then go buy!
Concrete Jungle by Brett McBean
Tasmaniac Publications
It's late. A few remaining shoppers head for the multi-story car park after attacking the sales at an adjacent shopping center.
However, they become trapped in the underground bunker when, incredibly, trees start to sprout from beneath the car park, transforming the concrete structure into a ruined, maze-like cavern.
Unable to find a way out it becomes a struggle for survival, for not only does the car park continue to transform back into a jungle, wild animals have begun to appear, governed by hunger under the foliage canopy.
Now the humans must fight to survive - not only Mother Nature, but a foe
Imagine if Richard Laymon wrote Jumanji. Basically that's what we're presented with as a multistory carpark is sealed off from the outside world as a sudden jungle takes over to trap the few survivors still inside. I'd been recommended to read some McBean and I was not disappointed when I did. This demanded I keep reading and takes a decidedly nastier turn in the last half (if a book makes me turn off the Xbox on an evening to go to bed early...it must be good).
Refreshing premise, strong characters and equally excellent short stories set in the same event provide a complete package. This is part of a trilogy, and the second part, Neighbourhood Jungle, is on preorder now. Lucky I got paid last Thursday. I'll see you over there by the checkout.
UNDEAD DRIVE THRU by REBECCA BESSER
Living Dead Press
When Kyndra, Colleen, and Jose apply for jobs at a diner that has seen better days and is undergoing renovations, they have no idea what they're in for. Aunt-B and John have a horrible secret, and when it's unleashed on the unsuspecting employees of the diner, things get . . . complicated. Bloodthirsty and dangerous, a zombie awaits the opportunity to feast on them all. Who will be served first? Can any of them make it out of the Undead Drive-Thru alive?
Dan: Besser tries to make her mark on an often saturated zombie genre with Undead Drive Thru, a short novella with Living Dead Press. From what I can see on display here, Besser may become the female horror writer I long to read: one who knows her way around buckets of blood, guts and puss rather than an overly long touchy feely contemplation. The cover doesn't really hint at the story (yes, there is no undead cook handing out body parts to diners) and this keeps you guessing exactly where the story will go. Besser serves up (pun intended) a traditional zombie story with a suitable villain whose complete batshit insanity is leaked out chapter by chapter. There are some genuine shock moments and a great finale. A few editorial mistakes here and there won't spoil the enjoyment.
Like A Life on Fire, here is an author I'd like to see take a stab at a longer piece.
Small Press. Where it's at.

Video: Sinulog Crowd in random areas in Cebu City
Sinulog crowd last January 17, shot randomly in different areas or streets of Cebu. It starts in Jones Avenue, then Fuente Osmeña, then Mango Avenue and Baseline, then back to Mango.
Watch it below.
Random Sinulog photos
Photos shot last Sinulog in January 17, 2016. This is my first Sinulog photos. If you want to see other Sinulog photos on this website, you can. Just click the Read More button to see bunch of photos.
Video: Crazy kids dancing during Sinulog
I chanced upon these kids dancing some weird form, some call this as "budots".
Watch the video below:
Unique People during the Sinulog 2016
I'm not really interested in taking photos of the street dancers. Kung sa Cebuano pa, gas-gas na hehe.
What I did was take photos of unique and unusual people, well at least in my opinion. These people may not be unique for you. I only took a few since I also have other plans that day. But I hope to add more in the next Sinulog.
How to Survive the Deadly Sinulog Crowd
I'm not exaggerating. The Sinulog crowd in some areas especially in Mango Avenue could literally turn into a deadly stampede. It already happened, almost every Sinulog.
Although, I still have to hear a report of death, but some were hurt especially children.
Last January 17, I was in front of Robinsons in Mango, near the pedestrian overpass. People were pushing and pulling. I believe some people with crooked intentions deliberately do this either to pass through easily or

Caring and sharing
How much money we earn is a hot topic. But it appears to be a topic that most of us are open to discussing with our nearest and dearest.
The results of this eZonomics poll echo the results of a question in the ING International Survey on Savings 2014 – due to be released in January – that found 65% of almost 13,000 people didn't mind if their friends and family knew how much they earn. Attitudes did vary between countries, however, with people in Luxembourg the least willing to share the information and Romanians the most.
Let's do this together
One consequence about being open with loved ones is tapping into the power of peer pressure. This double-edged force can encourage negative actions (such as spending too much for your budget with high-spending friends) or, more helpfully, positive actions (such as group motivation to improve financial standing, studied here).
Tapping into the positive power might include setting goals with others and meeting to discuss progress, setbacks and other milestones along the journey. Known as a type of commitment device, this type of peer support can encourage progress by making it more painful to fail, providing moral support or keeping the goal front of mind.

First came voice over copper and for a over one hundred years voice was carried over copper. Then came wireless which allowed car phones and cell phones to flourish. Next, came the Internet and we had Voice over the Internet aka Voice over IP (VoIP) over dial-up (ex: VocalTec's Internet Phone, Microsoft Netmeeting). Next came broadband and much improved VoIP offerings from Vonage and other players using ATA devices such as the Cisco ATA-186 and now Sipura.
It makes one think, "What more can we possibly do to invent new ways of transmitting voice and communicating?"
Well, how about "voice over power"? Check out this release:
Fonix Delivers VoIP Via Power Lines; Innovative BPL Technology Targeted for Availability Q4 2004 for Customers in Southeastern Region
Here's a snippet of it:
Fonix Corp., an innovative communications and technology company providing integrated telecommunications services and value-added speech technologies, announces the successful delivery of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) on Broadband over Power Lines (BPL), giving customers more choices in how they receive voice, data and media services in their homes or businesses. On Aug. 6, 2004, Fonix's recently acquired subsidiary LecStar Telecom Inc. completed installation and testing of the new service. LecStar is among the first to implement this technology in the United States.
LecStar is currently field testing its BPL service with a Southeastern utility company. About 20 percent of the customers in the six-month trial will test LecStar's new Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) on BPL service. BPL, which delivers high-speed Internet and voice services over existing power lines, represents one way Fonix plans to introduce cost-saving technologies to businesses and individuals in its growing network of telecommunications customers.
Now with Voice over "power" there is another choice for VoIP which means more competition and good news for consumers.
It harkens me back to our 1998 premiere issue of Internet Telephony Magazine which has a cover SCREAMING the words "Free Speech!"
The way VoIP is exploding and with big players like AT&T launching VoIP services, it won't be long before our 1998 vision of "Free Speech" and the 1st Amendment right "Freedom of Speech" will become a much more literal term!

A clinical trial is the testing of a pharmaceutical or other medical procedure under controlled conditions to ensure that the treatment is both safe and effective. It usually follows preliminary human trials where the treatment is given to affected patients to see if they improve after treatment.
When a drug is approved to be tested on humans, it is first tested on those who suffer from the condition the treatment is supposed to assist. However, even successful preliminary trials cannot prove that a drug is safe and effective. The perceived benefit of the treatment may be illusory (perhaps by patients recovering spontaneously) or the treatment may have long lasting side effects that do not exist with other drugs used to treat the condition.
A clinical trial differs from a preliminary trial as follows:
- It is controlled. Half the participants receive a placebo instead of the active treatment. This determine whether the treatment actually is having an effect.
- It is double blind. Neither the physicians doing the assessment of the treatment's effects nor the patient know whether they are in the treatment group or the control group.
- It is long term. A clinical trial usually lasts about five years. This helps to determine if they drug has any long term side effects.
Many common treatments have never had a clinical trial, such as the heart bypass. Many other drugs (such as aspirin) have been in use for so long their effectiveness and relative safety have been established without clinical trials. Many drugs have done well in clinical trials, only to have their side effects missed during this period of time in any event (Vioxx, thalidomide). Some drugs have shown such an incredible effect so early on that it was judged unethical to withhold them from the control group (AZT).
Clinical trials have been featured in House:
- In Babies & Bathwater, House fails to get his patient on to one of Edward Vogler's clinical trials.
- In Distractions, House challenges the conclusions of a clinical trial run by his arch-rival Philip Weber
- In Season 5, Foreman is running a clinical trial for a treatment for Huntington's disease where Thirteen is one of the trial participants.

CARSON, Calif. – Like all young players, Miller Bolaños is hungry for the opportunity to prove himself on the field.
What sets the 21-year-old midfielder apart from the rest, however, is the journey that brought him to Chivas USA.
Bolaños (above, center) joined Chivas USA in the offseason on a season-long loan from Ecuadorian club LDU Quito after spending his entire six-year career in the Ecuadorian Serie A. Considered one of the brightest young talents in Ecuador, Bolaños — who can contribute as winger, attacking midfielder and a withdrawn striker — believes that he can be the game changer the Goats have been seeking to reverse their fortunes.
"I bring my own game," the soft-spoken Bolaños told MLSsoccer.com last week. "I'm really anxious to start the season and show everyone what I'm capable of. I lived a long time in Ecuador and I really wanted to make a move to put my name out there and this was something that I really wanted to pursue."
Joining Bolaños on the Chivas roster is countryman and tenacious midfielder Oswaldo Minda, who is already familiar with the Bolaños clan. He played alongside Miller's eldest brother Alex while with Deportivo Quito and the Ecuadorian national team.
"[Miller is] considered one of the best young players in Ecuador; his presence has left a very important mark on Ecuador and we're all hoping that he'll continue that," Minda told MLSsoccer.com last week. "He's going to be a tremendous asset to this team."
There is more to his story than just talent, however. Even if it's the part Bolaños might like to forget.
Born in Ecuador's Esmeraldas Province, Bolaños quickly rose through the ranks at one of the country's most decorated clubs, Barcelona SC. Known for his ball control, speed and powerful shot, he also became a fixture for Ecuador's Under-17 team.
But in October 2007 he stumbled. He was slapped with a two-year suspension by the Ecuadorean federation after a positive test for recreational drug use. The suspension was eventually reduced to six months and Bolaños did his time, but it was a part of his career that he's still reluctant to discuss, more than four years after the incident.
The suspension, however, certainly did not mark the end of his career. He remained with Barcelona for the duration of 2008 and eventually signed in 2009 with LDU Quito, helping the club to a Copa Sudamericana title in 2009 and a Serie A title in 2010.
"He's a young kid and, sometimes when you're young, you make mistakes," Minda said. "But as time goes by, you understand how life is and it helps you mature. As a countryman, I try to help him out and help him comply with the team's rules. He's assimilating to the team and getting into shape. Hopefully, he'll develop within the team."
Chivas USA knew all about the previous drug suspension when they signed Bolaños, but it wasn't a deterrent them from adding him to the squad.
"He has the potential to be a great soccer player," Chivas USA general manager Jose Domene told MLSsoccer.com. "We interviewed him, and the past had to do with him being a kid and maybe some friendships, but that is why he is here.
"I don't want to call it a second chance, but he is here to prove that he is really good and can be with the national team." he added. "I think that he could be a fan favorite."
Part of what made Chivas attractive to Bolaños. meanwhile, was the presence of veteran players who can serve as mentors to the emerging young midfielder.
Along with Minda, forward Juan Pablo Ángel and defender John Alexander Valencia have already stepped up to help the youngster adapt to his new surroundings.
"It's always important for a young player to play with such experienced players," Bolaños said. "They've spoken with me to make sure that I'm content here, and I'm waiting for the opportunity to play with them."
Bolaños made his first appearance with the club on Tuesday, starting and playing the first 30 minutes of a preseason scrimmage against the Montreal Impact. He's still working on his full fitness as the team's season opener on March 11 looms in a little less than a month, with an eye fixed on fitting into head coach Robin Fraser's fast-paced, possession-oriented system.
And as Bolaños learns the finer points of the Rojiblancos game plan, Minda is optimistic that not only will he find on the field success at The Home Depot Center, but peace off the field as well.
"The important thing is that this is a good city where he'll be able to relax and enjoy soccer as well as family," Minda said. "It's a place where I think he'll be happy."

Surprise: UF ranks No. 3 nationally in tech transfer, topping CalTech, MIT
In a boost to Florida's tech ambitions, three Florida universities cracked the Milken Institute's list of 25 "Best Universities for Technology Transfer."
The University of Florida — perhaps best known for its success at raking in athletics revenue — ranked third, behind only the University of Utah and Columbia University and ahead of such stalwarts as Stanford, CalTech and MIT.
"Many are aware of the tremendous source of income that Gatorade provided the university, but Florida's overall success is due to much more than one product," Milken's report says.
Over the past four years, UF generated 395 patents, 547 licenses, $127.9 million in income and 62 start-ups, the report says.
The University of South Florida ranked 19th, and the University of Central Florida was 22nd.
At UCF, Milken said, "A sea change occurred at the institution after it was granted a medical school in 2006."

Death doesn't scare rally driver Alex Bold; dying without ever having taken first place does. When he's diagnosed with cancer, Alex won't settle for a permanent pit stop in chemotherapy. He enters one last big race with fellow patient Lucy as his co-driver: together they'e got nothing to lose. But they weren't expecting a starting line-up that includes a mafia kingpin, a ruthless rival and, in the UK car, a pair of would-be master thieves. Throw in unpredictable symptoms and a bungling manager, and it's clear the ride of their lives is going to be anything but smooth.

James Slyk passed along this live report:
Just got in from the Next Generation Wrestling event from the Victoria Pavillion here in Calgary. It was a star-studded affair with Teddy Hart, Davy Boy Smith Jr., Kevin Nash, Brian Cage, Trent Barretta, and John Morrison, who became the first NGW world champion tonight. It was a fantastic show from start to finish; the hard core match was real old school wrestling, spilling out into the crowd then back into the arena. Lots of incredible spots as well, one in particular I couldn't see very well (being on the far side of the ring for this one) featuring Teddy Hart doing a spot off a ladder placed between the ring apron and barricade that just had the crowd screaming "Holy Sh*t" after.
They have announced another show at the old Pavillion for Friday April 12 2013, featuring a triple threat main event between John Morrison, Teddy Hart and Jack Evans for the NWG world championship belt. If this show promises to be as good as the one tonight, good luck getting a ticket. It was also announced that if you go to their website at nextgenerationwrestling.com, the show tonight will be broadcast over PPV internet on their website Saturday night February 23 at 7:00PM local (Mountain) time.

OUR ETHICS—GMoP code of Conduct
The difference between core values and code of ethics: Core Values, these are who you are/wish to be; the energy you are sending out to others. Code of ethics, those are the rules of conduct you strive to live by.
Code of Conduct:
- One's ego is happily "left at the door," while contributing to the GMoP.
- Treat all others the way you yourself want to be treated: with respect and kindness.
- Seek first to understand before you seek to be understood.
- Express yourself in a calm, concise, well thought-out manner.
- Respect the roles of those that are chosen to exert some leadership function.
- Strive not to undermine those in position of responsibility.
- Make suggestions for solutions through the proper channels of communication, rather than by making critical arbitrary complaints.
- Express concerns and insights with the appropriate people.
- Strive for an attitude of "Servant Leadership." Establish a collective framework where willing contributors are encouraged and nurtured so that they may flourish, grow and express their individual talents.
- Be solution oriented.
- At all times we conduct ourselves in an ethical, appropriate, civil, legal manner and maintain confidentiality and privacy when expected.
- Any disagreements and/or conflicts are to be dealt first of all respectfully, directly and immediately with the individual concerned.
- If a resolution is not reached then a "mediation" should rapidly be arranged with the people concerned in the presence of no less than three other core members who are not involved in the disagreement.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUNDThe surrender of France in spring 1940 left Hitler in undisputed control of Western Europe. England, under the resolute leadership of Winston Churchill, was now left without allies in its war against Germany, and had only the Royal Navy, the RAF, and the English Channel to protect it from a German invasion. The English Channel and the Royal Navy, however, were no protection against the planes of Hermann Goering's Luftwaffe. And for a few months during the summer and fall of 1940, the full responsibility for England's defense would rest almost exclusively on the skill and gallantry of the pilots of the Royal Air Force.
On July 10, 1940 the Luftwaffe began attacks on Channel ports and shipping in preparation for Operation "Sea Lion," the German amphibious cross-Channel invasion of England. German air attacks continued without interruption or abatement; then, on August 10, a massive Luftwaffe bombing assault against British radar installations, RAF airfields, and aircraft factories, suddenly erupted all across southern England. This enormous one-day bombing effort, code-named Adlertag (Eagle Day) by the German High Command, was intended to be the first major blow in a Luftwaffe offensive aimed at destroying or at least severely crippling the RAF. Hitler and the Oberkommando Des Herres (OKH) were confident that if the Royal Air Force could be annihilated or driven away from the Channel Coast, then the Sea Lion invasion plan would be able to go forward. But Hitler and the OKH were also adamant: no invasion would be authorized until the Luftwaffe had achieved complete mastery of the skies over the Channel. Reich Marshal Goering promised his Führer just that. With Eagle Day, the Battle of Britain had well and truly begun. It would continue until 12 October 1940. On that date, Hitler finally ordered that the air offensive be broken off so that the Luftwaffe could begin preparations for Operation "Barbarossa:" the coming German invasion of Russia.
Thus, in spite of nearly insurmountable odds, the Battle of Britain ended in the defeat of the Luftwaffe. Goering's airmen, despite suffering terrible losses, had been unable to drive the RAF from the skies over Britain. England, thanks to a few hundred intrepid pilots, had won a resounding victory — it had turned back the German aerial onslaught, and because of that victory, England had survived to fight on against Hitler's Third Reich.
THEIR FINEST HOUR is GDW's simulation of the life-and-death struggle between England and Germany in the summer and fall of 1940, when Britain stood alone. More than that, it is, as noted previously, actually a collection of three different conflict games: THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN, a detailed squadron-level simulation of the air war between Germany and Britain in the months immediately following the defeat of France; a EUROPA level air Campaign Game that requires a smaller number of counters and fewer game turns than THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN; and SEA LION, a hypothetical air-land-sea treatment of the planned — but never executed — German invasion of Great Britain in the summer of 1940. Besides being a set of complete games, THEIR FINEST HOUR is also an installment in the EUROPA Project: GDW's comprehensive simulation of all of World War II in Europe, the Balkans, the Soviet Union, North Africa, and the Middle East.
THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN is the feature title in the THEIR FINEST HOUR game collection. It is a squadron level simulation of the desperate air war between England and Germany during the summer of 1940. The German player wins by accumulating victory points. To accomplish this, the Luftwaffe commander directs his forces to eliminate or damage Royal Air Force units, airfields, radar stations, and aircraft factories in an effort to defeat the RAF and drive it from the skies above southern England and the Channel Coast. Historically, the Luftwaffe failed because its operational planners could not hit upon the optimal mix of air missions to satisfy all of these different goals. Needless-to-say, to win in the game, the German player must do significantly better than his historical counterpart. He must succeed, however, without suffering prohibitive losses of his own. The Luftwaffe can afford more casualties than the RAF, but German reserves of aircraft and pilots are not limitless. The British player wins by avoiding a German victory. THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN offers two scenarios: the standard Battle of Britain scenario, July 1 to September 27 (23 game turns long); and the Adlertag scenario, August 10 to September 23, 1940 (12 turns long).
As a less time-consuming and detailed alternative to THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN, the EUROPA Campaign game allows players to fight the air war over England using the standard EUROPA air combat system and standard two-week game turns. It is also a simpler, shorter game than THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN, even though the two simulations both use the same game maps and counters. The Campaign game offers only one scenario: the Combined Campaign game, July 1 to November 5, 1940 (10 game turns).
The invasion game, SEA LION, combines the air combat system of THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN with a variation (shorter game turn and smaller hex size) on the standard EUROPA ground and naval rules. For this reason, SEA LION uses its own special (one-third scale) game map. Despite the difference in scale, however, players exploring the EUROPA Game System for the first time will quickly discover that the various combat subroutines — whether in a standard EUROPA installment, or as they are presented in SEA LION — are almost independent games in their own right. This is one reason why SEA LION is a particularly good candidate for team play. Bluntly speaking, SEA LION is not an easy game either to learn or to play, much less to master; so the more help that players can round up, the better. Also, the complex, and often unpredictable interactions between the ground, air, and naval elements in this simulation, makes planning and executing the invasion of Britain — whether in July or September — an extremely difficult and nerve-racking process. And that holds true for both sides; not just for the Germans. There is a great deal of interesting historical detail contained in this title, but it does take some work to get at it; moreover, getting the game's different subroutines to smoothly mesh together is a real challenge. This game is clearly not a good choice for the beginning or casual gamer. SEA LION offers two scenarios: the July scenario, July 1 to August 14 (12 turns); and the September scenario, September 23 to October 29 (10 game turns).
The many different games that make up the EUROPA World War II game system are each in their own way, unique. Whether looking at an early design like NARVIK (974) or a later installment like THE FALL OF FRANCE (1981), GDW invariably brings something fresh and interesting to the design process when it examines each new historical situation. This factor, as much as sheer size, makes the EUROPA game series one of the great simulation design projects of all time. THEIR FINEST HOUR presents a fascinating look at a unique military situation: the first major campaign in World War II fought predominantly by the air forces of the belligerent nations. This feature alone makes the game interesting. But, of course, there are the other game situations contained in the title to consider, as well. Despite the complexity of its several different games, THEIR FINEST HOUR offers — to those who are really interested in the greatest war in history — a richly textured, and very challenging game system for simulating virtually all aspects of World War II combat in the European Theater.

'West Ham are like Humpty Dumpty… but Slaven Bilic can piece them together', says Hammers legend Ian Bishop
Irons looking for a strong response after suffering a humiliating 5-1 hiding at Arsenal's hands last weekend
WEST HAM are like Humpty Dumpty after his great fall.
But unlike all the king's horses and all the king's men, boss Slaven Bilic CAN put them back together again.
That is the verdict of Hammers legend Ian Bishop who played alongside the Croatian during their playing days at Upton Park.
Keep up to date with ALL the West Ham news, gossip, transfers and goals on our club page plus fixtures, results and live match commentary
The former midfielder believes Bilic — along with first-team coach and former team-mate Julian Dicks — is the best man to turn their season around.
The Hammers visit Liverpool today after a humiliating 5-1 hiding at home to Arsenal — their eighth defeat of the season.
And Bishop — who made 255 appearances for the club from 1989 until 1998 — said: "West Ham are a bit like Humpty Dumpty right now and Slaven has just got to piece them back together.
"They have the quality — but he needs to light a fire under a few of them.
"Trust me, in Slaven and Dicksy, West Ham have the two best people to do exactly that.
"Imagine what it would've been like in our dressing room if we'd performed like that in a derby when they were playing — they'd have been tearing our heads off.
"Julian would have put someone up in the air. He would've sparked something from us."
Angelo Ogbonna was laid into by ex-Hammer Rio Ferdinand for his dreadful display against the Gunners — while pundits have questioned star man Dimitri Payet's attitude.
Bilic incredibly claimed his team are "lacking intensity" in training and a "commitment to the cause".
And Bishop — who now lives and coaches in Florida — thinks Bilic should take a leaf out of Man City boss Pep Guardiola's book and drop star players.
He said: "Look at what Pep did — leaving Sergio Aguero out away to Barcelona.
"It lit a fire under Aguero and he came back and scored two goals against West Brom.
"Slaven has proved that he can get that team playing. He just needs to find it again.
"If you don't get that intensity and dedication back, you start to lose your better players.

DEFENCE KOPS ITSlaven Bilic says Reds' dodgy backline could cost them the title and warns it's no match for their frontline
"They feel like if they're going out there all on their own, it's a lost cause for them.
"You must be careful that doesn't happen because then you're done."
Hammers favourite Tony Cottee — who scored 115 goals in 279 appearances during two spells — believes the strikers have "not been good enough".
He singled out Italian forward Simone Zaza, who has failed to get on the scoresheet since joining on loan from Juventus.
Cottee said: "I don't really see what sort of forward he is — he doesn't appear to be a goalscorer and he's not a targetman.
"To not have scored a goal when we're 14 games into the season, I find incredible."
And former striker Cottee is fed up with the excuses being made for West Ham's poor form.
He said: "I keep hearing it's because of the new stadium, the new training ground, injuries, players late back from the Euros.
"We've got to stop complaining about all these things.
"The team needs to start delivering."
Another Hammers legend, Alvin Martin, who played 469 games for the club between 1976 and 1996, believes the team has to learn the game is not about individuals.
He said: "When the going gets tough is when you find out people's true colours.
"People must put a longer shift in. They need to start covering each other and stick together.
"Last year they did it instinctively.
"They must remind themselves the game isn't about individuals, it's about everyone else."
Bishop, meanwhile, thinks today's match is ideal for West Ham because Liverpool are predictable in the way they play.
He said: "Facing a team that comes at you and plays football, you must play on the counter-attack because Liverpool leave gaps open and, as we know, they concede goals also."
But if West Ham suffer another thrashing, they will not be Humpty Dumpty anymore — but Humpty Numpties.

100 days project
Today is day one of the 2016 100 days project.
As a participant in the 100 days project you choose something to do everyday for 100 days.
This is the third year I've participated and this time I've entitled my project "Draw, print, paint"...basically because I had trouble deciding what I wanted to do!
I think I read that about 1700 people are taking part this year!
Today I tried painting with oils for the first time in decades. I bought a cheap pack of oil paints earlier today as I've wanted to try using oils for a while, and want this project to be about being a bit courageous and trying new things.
Obviously a work in progress,,,,

A terminally ill Tadcaster girl has booked her dream holiday to Disneyland thanks to an outpouring of good-will and generosity from 'kind-hearted individuals'.
After being given the devastating news she is terminally ill, Sonny Lang, 22, decided she wanted to fill her remaining days with 'as many fun memories as possible'.
One of her closest friends, Bethany Wilson, created a 'gofundme' page to try and raise money to fulfil Sonny's bucket list, which included an incredible trip to Florida.
Sonny's bravery and positivity captured the hearts of thousands of readers and, as a result of their generosity, she has now booked her dream trip and will be jetting off in November.
More than £9,000 has now been raised on her page and Sonny admitted she'd been left speechless by the amount of kind messages she'd received.
She said: "I'm always surprised by people's generosity and their well wishes. The messages that my mum and I have received since the article have been truly lovely.
"It means a lot to us that people are supporting us and have thought about us enough to send a message, even people that I don't know are wishing me well.
"It really keeps me going even if it's just one person saying one nice thing. I'm definitely starting to realise that I'm more liked that I thought."
As well as the thousands of pounds pledged for her bucket list, Sonny thanked the hundreds of people who had taken the time to leave her messages of support on Facebook, many of whom she had never met.
After seeing the incredible response to Sonny's story and on her 'gofundme' page, Bethany admitted the reaction had 'restored her faith in humanity'.
The pair became close friends after meeting more than 10 years ago at Tadcaster Grammar School and Bethany explained that she decided to start the page to ensure Sonny's remaining time was 'positive and enjoyable'.
She said: "Sonny's always been so positive and it sounds cheesy but she really is an inspiration and I'm incredibly proud of her.
"I want her to make as many memories with as many of her close friends and family as possible.
"I'm absolutely over the moon with the response because people have been so generous. You see so much negativity in the news and on Facebook so it's been amazing to share something so positive from such a negative time.
"She deserves it more than anybody I know and not forgetting her family too. I can't imagine their heartache but Sonny is so positive and funny, she makes it hard for you to be sad."

You've been scamed - BBC investigates mobile phone recycling scams
This entry was posted on June 7, 2012.
An investigation into mobile phone recycling scams is being carried out by production company Flame TV for BBC One show "You've been Scammed". The programmed launched the probe after being contacted by consumers who were unsatisfied by the service they had received from recycling companies. The complaints included customers being offered less for handsets that they had been quoted on-line and being charged large fees for the return of the handsets when they rejected the updated offer.
Flame TV researcher Michelle Ulster said: "We had a number of people email us complaining about a number of companies. We are trying to establish whether it is just bad business or an out-and-out scam. "The firms appear to be taking the same format of the "cash for gold" scams and applying that to mobile recycling instead. There are genuine mobile recycling companies, but the scammers are piggybacking on their reputation."
Flame TV is planning to air the results of the investigation in August if enough evidence can be gathered. Uslter said consumers who have fallen victim to a scam should get in touch with their local Citizen Advice Bureau, a Trading Standard office, or call the Action Fraud helpline.

I am new to this whole blogging thing. It wasn't until a few months ago that I even started subscribing to and reading blogs. But the more blogs I found, the more I knew I wanted to start my own! There is something about reading what other (mostly women runners) write on their blogs that made me realize what a great outlet a blog can be for getting out emotions, connecting with others and putting goals on "paper". I have loved hearing other people's stories about picking a challenging goal and then putting in the hard miles and training runs to realize their goals. I have also loved reading about their personal lives -- fun family vacations, frustrating mornings with toddlers, the balance of work/family/exercise, exciting milestones in their or their children's lives and the little things that make up all our days.
So this is my starting point -- everyone has to start somewhere, right?!
I can't predict exactly where this blog will go from here but I hope to share many of the same things that others have shared in discussing my life, family, running, goals and dreams.
One of my first goals is to simply get back to running. I ran the Newport Marathon (in Newport, Oregon) on June 2nd of this year and have been injured ever since that day. I have what is called extensor tendinitis in my left foot. After putting in so many miles and never really having any injuries, this is new territory for me. The most frustrating part of it all is that the tendinitis was supposedly caused by my *stupidly* tying my shoelaces differently for the marathon. I should know better than to try something new right before a big race! It pulled the laces tight across the top of my foot and caused the tendinitis that I just can't seem to get rid of, even after two months of almost NO running, a cortisone shot on the top of my foot and daily icing. I'm really trying hard to nip this in the bud as I have to start running again in another month or so to begin training for my next marathon...
Speaking of my next marathon, I am planning to run Boston in April 2013 and will be so disappointed if this injury keeps me from realizing that dream. I have qualified for Boston several times in the past and have never actually run it. But I have a big birthday coming up in a couple of months (yikes!) and want to run Boston as part of my celebration of turning 40. But even more important than running Boston, this injury has made me realize just how much running means to me. There are so many things that I love about running that it will have to be saved for another (or many more) posts. Let's just say I hope to be running for the rest of my life so right now I'm just trying to balance my near-term goal of Boston with my long-term goal of a life spent running. In order to do this, I'm really taking it easy but it is hard to do...especially since I live in Portland, Oregon. Here in Portland, we run in the rain, sleet, mist, fog and generally gray days for nine months of the year and, as a reward, are able to run in the gorgeous Portland summer. It is so hard to wake up every day to beautiful weather and not be able to run on my favorite trails or my well-worn neighborhood routes!
Because I have never suffered from any injury, I have always taken my health and my running for granted. Warm-up and cool-downs -- what's that? Cross-training -- who has the time? Stretching -- ha! I would like to say that I will become more respectful of my body and my limitations once my foot is completely healed. And that I will never take running for granted again. At the same time, I feel like the clock is ticking and that any future PR's will start to slip away after I turn 40. I have never really challenged myself to see what I am capable of doing and hate to think my best days might be behind me. Has anyone set PR's past 40?? I hope so!
Okay, I think that's it for today. As I'm typing, I'm simultaneously watching the USA women's soccer team in a semi-final match against Canada. After two extra periods, it is about to go to penalty kicks to resolve the tie. So I'm getting distracted! Thanks to anyone who is reading this -- not that I think anyone is out there yet. :)
USA just scored with 30 seconds to go in the final period!!! Wahoo!

Tim Lambesis of As I Lay Dying Pleads Guilty in Murder-for-Hire Plot
26 lutego 2014 | By kwiecio | No Comments
According to NBC San Diego, Lambesis entered a change of plea and admitted to attempting to hire a hitman to murder his wife. He will be charged with one count of solicitation of another to commit murder and conspiracy to commit a crime, a felony! According to a court clerk, Lambesis will reportedly serve serve the maximum 9 years in prison.
Lambgoat is reporting that Lambesis might serve less than 9 years. Nine years and a $10,000 penalty is the maximum sentence. The final decision will be made by Judge Carlos Armour on May 2nd during his sentencing hearing. Lambgoat also reported that the parents and brother of Lambesis' estranged wife, Meggan, were present and according to the prosector "obviously relieved."
Last week, detailed accounts of court transcripts surfaced and it looked like the prosecution had a solid case against Lambesis.
Lambesis was was arrested on May 7th, 2013 for attempting to hire a hitman to murder his wife. The supposed hitman ended up being an undercover cop. Lambesis, who pleaded not guilty, is currently out on $2 million bond after paying $160,000 to a bail bondsman. Lambesis has been on house arrest since release, with few exceptions.

Watched the sunrise this morning across the horizon of the ocean. Very peaceful and quiet. Good God time. You just cannot look at the vast horizon and not see God. I'm reading a book called Desire (not a romance novel) this morning. It's really connecting with some of the things already on my mind.
We are born with an innate sense of desire or longing. It is what ultimately draws us to God. In order to find God we must first realize that there is something more out there . . . that our mere existence is not all there is. But that desire is not hard-wired to God. It seems elusive to most people; even Christians. True peace and contentment comes from drinking deeply from the well of God. Most people are not even at the well. Some know where it is but they pass it by again and again. To drink from the deep well takes thought, and work, and patience. We are thirsty. We know that we are thirsty. We know that we must quench our thirst. Some of us even know that what we really need is to drink deeply from the well of God. So we start out on a trek to the well. But somewhere along the way we find ways to temporarily satisfy our thirst and kill our desire to make it to the well.
In today's culture we are all very imitative people. We learn language by imitation. In fact we learn just about everything in life that way. There is a never ending number of prominent people whose live look pleasing to lead us to temporary and counterfeit solutions to quench our thirst. But the thirst is never quenched. Where are all of the mentors and icons who have drank from the well.
When that thirst is never quenched there is something in us that makes us feel hurt or angry that life did not work out for us the way we planned. We feel we will never get to live out our dreams, especially the ones shaped by watching the lives of others. So we end up depressed or addicted or both. Is it any wonder that in a world full of people with a God shaped whole and no end to cheap substitutes, that most people suffer from some sort of depression or addiction? Everyone is obsessed with something.
Temporary pleasure is not enough though. What we need is real life. Not life as we know it, but new life. The life that Jesus came to offer.

Drinking From the Well

Warning: This article contains spoilers and is intended mainly for those who have already seen the film.
"The sins of the fathers shall be visited upon the sons" (Exodus 34:7). Were this the only subtext in Derek Cianfrance's multigenerational saga of twisted fate and broken dreams, The Place Beyond the Pines might be taken simply as an updating of Elia Kazan 1953 adaptation of John Steinbeck's modern-day reworking of the Cain and Abel tale, East of Eden. Instead, this densely packed film manages to stitch together the Tanakh and Greek myth and tether both to a modern-day crime drama set in an American burg beneath whose idyllic exterior, a la Hitchcock (and Freud), reside swine. Schenectady, New York, provides the serenely sinister backdrop—a name that instantly conjures Charlie Kaufman's solipsistic brain-twister with the devilishly allusive title Synecdoche, New York (2008). The result is a neo-noir with more cinematic panache and multi-layered resonance than any since Roman Polanski/Robert Towne's magisterial Chinatown (1974).

What is Adolescent Orthodontics?
The most common time for orthodontic treatment in adolescence is between the ages 11-15. Most children by the age of 12 have acquired their complete set of permanent teeth. It is at this time the most common orthodontic problems reveal themselves.
What type of problem does adolescent orthodontics solve?
This type of orthodontic treatment includes:
- crooked teeth
- spaces between teeth
- uneven bites
Unfortunately, these problems do not correct themselves and require the assistance of orthodontics.
What are the benefits of orthodontics?
Orthodontics provides many benefits to create a confident smile, but more importantly, treatment provides many dental health benefits. Straight teeth collect less plaque, minimizing the chance for decay and gum disease.
Properly aligned bites support gum and bone structure health by relieving tension. In addition, aligned teeth prevent unbalanced wear.
Most importantly, adolescent treatment sets each individual patient up for a lifetime of optimal dental health.
A great option is our Invisalign Teen® treatment.

A number of tech companies and executives have voiced support of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, and in doing so, made themselves enemies of the Republic.
But Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and his wife MacKenzie have just given $33 million in support to DACA recipients, also known as Dreamers. The two just donated the money to TheDream.US, which provides scholarships to Dreamers, and their donation will give 1,000 DACA recipients money to attend college.
It's the largest donation in history of TheDream.US.
Trending: WATCH – Nancy Pelosi's Dementia Spotlighted In Rambling, Face-Spasming Press Conference *VIDEO* #Democrat #Pelosi
In a statement, Bezos said:
"My dad came to the US when he was 16 as part of Operation Pedro Pan, He landed in this country alone and unable to speak English. With a lot of grit and determination — and the help of some remarkable organizations in Delaware — my dad became an outstanding citizen, and he continues to give back to the country that he feels blessed him in so many ways. MacKenzie and I are honored to be able to help today's Dreamers by funding these scholarships."
Prior to President Trump's decision to remove DACA protections in September, hundreds of CEOs, including Bezos, signed a letter asking him to keep the program intact and many voiced their disappointment when the president decided to end protections.
In October, companies such as Google, Facebook and Amazon said they would lobby Congress to pass DACA protection legislation and in November, over 100 companies filed an amicus brief in support of plaintiffs aiming to reinstate DACA protections.
Dreamers receiving aid from TheDream.US get $33,000 in scholarships spread out over four years.
"Our students are highly motivated and determined to succeed in college and in life. We're a three-and-a-half-year-old program, so we don't yet have graduation rates," said the organization's president, Candy Marshall, in a statement. "But our scholars are thriving academically. 94% return to their college after the first year; the national average is 72%. We expect a 75% graduation rate."

JC VOLLEYBALL: NMMI edges Lady Chaps to win WJCAC title
There's not much that seems to be separating the Midland College volleyball team from No. 18-ranked New Mexico Military Institute.
But no matter how close MC stayed with the Lady Broncos on Wednesday, it couldn't find a way to get over the hump as NMMI swept the Lady Chaparrals, 25-22, 28-26, 25-23, at Chaparral Center to win the Western Junior College Athletic Conference title.
"That feels really good to win it outright for once," said NMMI coach Shelby Forchtner. "We've actually tied twice and I don't know if we've actually gotten the number one seed. So this feels really good. These kids have been working really hard all semester. They are very committed to our process, which is not easy and we try to really work on discipline daily. I feel like that's been helping us later in the month of October to win some of these close games."
The match was similar to the one between these teams had on Sept. 27 in Roswell, New Mexico, as NMMI was able to sweep as two of the sets were decided by a combined four points.
Once again, MC errors proved to be huge as the Lady Chaps (25-4, 7-2) has six service errors, three blocking errors and had an attack percentage of .142.
"We didn't play a bad match, by any means," MC coach Tammy Jimenez said. "I thought we did some things very well. I think blocking got the best of us. We just weren't transitioning well enough to block. And that's really what made the difference, in addition to not being able to terminate a ball. It's just the little things that we need to fix. "
Added MC sophomore setter Ashley Van Gieson, who led her team with 15 assists: "We didn't come out as strong as we needed to today. We know we can beat them. We just have start early, finish and not wait until the last minute."
Forchtner said her team got the sweep despite not playing its best match.
"We had about three people that really performed at a high level for us," she said. "McKayla Landreth, our middle, our setter (Keren Rivera-Herrera) and Hannah Davis, our right side. And then everyone else struggled pretty badly. I thought we did a good job of defending. We've been working on serving tough and I think that's what helped us win this match. We served tough from point one until the very end."
The second set was key into helping NMMI (25-11, 9-0) get the sweep. MC led by as many as much as 17-10 before NMMI rallied to win eight of the next nine points. It was back and forth from that moment before the Lady Broncos got a block to finish out the set and go into the break with a 2-0 match lead.
"We tend to give up way too many points per rotation and once we give up like three straight points, we struggle to get out of it," Jimenez said. "We just need to do a better job of losing no more than two in a rotation or no more than three. That (second set) was a gut punch."
Breann Schreiber and Cali Barger led MC with nine kills each, Lauren Hermes added 16 digs, Van Gieson had 14 digs and Desi Marmolejo added 14 assists.
If things go well for both teams, it's very possible they could meet again in next weekend's NJCAA Region V West Tournament in Odessa.
MC closes out the regular season at 2 p.m. Saturday at Frank Phillips College.
