Sal is a small dusty island in the Atlantic archipelago Cape Verde Islands.
For centuries known for one thing only...salt. The natural salt pan at Pedra de Lume provided the white powder. Not much happening there any more.
Later came the Italians and build the first international airport. A small hub in the Atlantic. No big change here.
But then came the hordes of European low budget tourists. In just a few years, the industry has exploded...and it's only the beginning.
The island has the perfect beach climate, absolutely no rain, constant temperatures, all day, all night, all year!
But it's not just drinks at the hotel pool in Santa Maria...see for Yourself.

"She is non-negotiable," said Prince Charles about Camilla Parker-Bowles.
He said this when they had not yet married and there was this hoo-ha about a divorcee in the royal family and some problem with the Anglican Church.
The man stood his ground. He said it aloud. And he saw it through.
I don't quite understand why people should make emotional compromises. God knows, we need to make them in other spheres of life over which we have no control. We own our emotions.
These thoughts occurred to me as I read Mask's comment to me, "Do NOT be offended...but you're an emotional dominatrix, you know that?"
I replied, "I am not offended...I'd love being what you said I am..."
What constitutes emotional dominance? An emotion or several emotions cannot exist in a vacuum. You feel because you have filled the vacuum. You have invested in that hollow – your own or somebody else's. In some ways, occupying space itself is a dominant thing to do. When you want your smiles and tears to be understood, if not reciprocated appropriately, you are in a position of authority to begin with.
In a situation where emotions are mutually-expressed, emotional dominance has got to be redefined. It is a feeling of belonging, possessiveness.
Would you say that if a person realises the emotions are meeting a dead-end and decides to walk back, it is a dominatrix role? What about that huge wall at the end of the road – is it not the dominant one, the unshakeable one? Only because a wall is built, it cannot get away with being infallible.
I have been in many emotional situations, including with family and close friends, where my stating things clearly has been seen as dominance. I have given way more than I have got, but one does not flaunt it. Perhaps you'd say giving is also a manner of dominating, right?
When someone says, "I will wait for you" does it not mean that it is a deadline, although no date has been fixed? There is hope, there is pressure, there is expectation and there is domination in a subtle way.
I'd much rather state, "I'll wait for you until tomorrow" and then let the sun decide whether it wants to show up or not.
The realisation has dawned on me that the real dominatrixes get away by putting on this angelic act with their high-pitched choir girl/boy voices.
A woman I know made a man leave everything, made him believe she was waiting for him. He packed his bags, left everything – and yes, he had other reasons too, but that was most definitely an attraction – and what happens? He did not get to even meet her. In the year he spent there, he waited for her to call. He waited while she went out dating, got into flings, and even married.
You might think this was a situation where he had it bad. He returned home. Contact was established again. She was free, so she tried anew; he had nothing to lose. She even pretended that she did not know he wanted to explore it seriously. And then she started her little angelic act, breathing into the phone and even telling him she wanted his baby…this time, he had other reasons not to be taken in, but of course he did not say no. He went back to 'end' the story. They expressed their emotions physically. And do you know what the guy had to say? "Whomever she fucked, she never used foul language; she was polite and respectful…"
See how the dominatrix got her way? She kept up the nice girl act till she could, even trying to mess up his life again by showing up 'innocently' and with 'concern'. Is this respect? How polite is a person if s/he keeps someone on hold while they explore other possibilities?
What happens later? Very likely the man will start dominating in other relationships. The subtle technique employed and which works, as he knows only too well.
My kind does not. But I shall continue to be straight and upfront. And be a bitter pill. Sugar-coating does not change its potency, but why hide intent?
I'd much rather use harsh words, and I do believe in close relationships one does use nasty language sometimes, than be deified as "polite and respectful" and then slyly slut my way emotionally.
Being my kind of dominatrix may appear cruel but it is not unfair. It is most fair because one is not resorting to obfuscation.
You cannot want to walk with me and leave your legs elsewhere. And yes, I am not negotiable. Never was. Never will be.

Investigators release details on massive Interstate 275 pileup
COLERAIN TOWNSHIP, Ohio - Investigators released their findings Thursday on the details surrounding the Interstate 275 pileup that took the life of a 12-year-old girl near Colerain Township in January.
According to the 250-page report from the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, "...fault cannot be placed on one or several parties due to conditions created by the inclement weather." The report indicates that the Jan. 21 accident was caused by winter weather conditions known as a white-out, a term used to describe conditions during snowfall that severely restrict visibility.
The initial crash was caused when the lead vehicles drove into the inclement conditions and the visibility was so poor that it caused them to take evasive action by slowing their vehicles, according to the report.
As the first vehicles slowed to a speed below the posted speed limit, additional vehicles continued to enter into the area "at a rate of speed which did not allow them to either take evasive action or slow to a stop, setting off a chain reaction of motor vehicles colliding with one another."
Ann VonHandorf, one of the people involved in the accident, submitted the following statement to investigators:
"I was driving (on) West I-275. It started snowing real hard. Visibility got bad. Traffic was slowing down. Suddenly the cars in front of me were stopping. I tried to stop but was skidding and ended up hitting the car in front of me. There was traffic in all three lanes with nowhere to go without hitting someone. (I) pulled to left side of the highway and stopped."
Denise A. Gordon was traveling just past the Hamilton Avenue exit when she says the white-out struck.
"I was traveling westbound on I-275 when just post the Hamilton Avenue exit in the middle of a snow 'whiteout' when I saw cars skidding in from of me. I managed to steer towards the median, but as I stopped was hit from behind and shoved into a car stopped in front of me," said Gordon who while not being injured during the accident had a scare soon thereafter. "I was fully stopped. I turned off the ignition and saw a 55-gallon barrel of green liquid next to my car (spewing the green liquid). I grabbed my purse and ran as fast as I could away from the accident as I saw semis behind me skidding and I didn't want to be crushed. This happened between 11:30-11:45 a.m."
Investigators have also determined a cause of death for the lone victim of the accident, 12-year-old Sammy Reagan, of Kings Mills. According to the report, Reagan was a passenger in a vehicle involved in the collision. After the accident, she exited the vehicle and entered into the median.
The reports finds that Reagan was on the inside of the barrier cables when additional vehicles entered into the median just east of her location. The impact caused the cables to be stretched toward the south side of the median. Investigators determined that the top cable stretched towards the direction of the victim, which resulted in her being struck from behind and sustaining a fatal injury.
In all, 90 vehicles, including 72 cars, trucks, SUVs, and 18 semi-trucks, were involved in the accident.

Bedford Town Justice Erik Jacobsen has ordered the Splash car wash to vacate its Bedford Hills site by Sept. 30, dealing a victory for the property's landlord.
In a 4-page decision issued on Aug. 3, Jacobsen rejected defenses by Splash for why it stayed beyond the April 30 expiration of its lease for the property, which is at 527 N. Bedford Road. Specifically, he disagreed with a claim that the landlord, Shullman Family Limited Partnership, engaged in a tortious interference with the lease contract, writing that no breach is alleged and that one needed to be shown. Jacobsen also rejected a defense that noted the full year's property taxes had been paid, which is for a period longer than the lease was to run for the year.
The partnership is owned by the Shullman family, whose ownership goes back to the 1960s. It was decided that the longterm lease for Splash would not be renewed. The family also plans to open its own car wash, Russell Speeder's, on the same site.
Meanwhile, Splash is planning to move to a new facility at 562-570 N. Bedford Road, a Bedford Hills site that once included a Carvel ice cream shop. It has spent three years trying to get the proposed car wash built, including applications to Bedford's zoning board of appeals (ZBA) for variances and the planning board. The proposal, which includes separate spaces for both automatic and hand wash, ran into opposition from neighbors on nearby Valerio Court, Patch reportedduring the ZBA's review process, who worried about traffic impact.
Splash has since secured all approvals except for a building permit, Chief Executive Officer Mark Curtis said this week.
Reached for comment, family member Bob Shullman described himself as "pleased" that the judge came out on "the side" that he thought he would. He added that Splash was told "years ago" that the lease would not be renewed.
Reached for comment, Curtis said he is "somewhat disappointed" that the judge did not allow for them to stay longer.
The local lawsuit was brought after Splash refused to leave the property, which it had leased since 1995. Splash filed its own lawsuit in state Supreme Court in White Plains seeking to enjoin eviction and demanding millions of dollars from a judgment and putative damages.
The lawsuit, which names Shullman family members, Russell Speeder's and the partnership as defendants, alleges that defendants secretly retained a land use attorney and other experts to fight the new proposal during the town review process. Splash also claims that defendants solicited neighbors secretly and that experts were told to misrepresent themselves as being hired by neighbors. As a result, Splash claims that the defendants engaged in tortious interference with business relations and that there was a breach of good faith for the lease because of the alleged actions. The defense is seeking to dismiss the lawsuit and argues that the experts who appeared during town review for the new site were doing so on behalf of neighbors and not them.
Both Curtis and Shullman expect an update from the state Supreme Court judge by next month.
If Splash has to move out by Sept. 30, Curtis told Patchthat he has secured a temporary location elsewhere on North Bedford Road, although he declined to identify where the site is.

When looking at purchasing different types of locks for your home or business, the options can certainly be overwhelming. There are many different types of locks, and several different security factors to consider before purchasing. This page will try and cover some of the different types of locks and the many security features that should be considered between locks.
Understanding Different Types of Locks
When you are looking for different types of locks you are most likely looking for one of four types of locks: padlocks, deadbolts, knob locks, and levers although there are many other types.
Padlocks are fairly straight forward and very popular when considering different types of locks. There are not a large quantity of options concerning padlocks. There are re-keyable and non-rekeyable padlocks. If a padlock is non-rekeyable, then you cannot change the key that opens the lock (for example to make it use the same key as your house). Padlocks can be key retaining or non-key retaining. A key retaining padlock means when the padlock is open, the key cannot be removed. Types of locks like padlocks can have a shrouded shackle. This is where the shoulders of the padlock raise up the sides of the shackle to make it far harder for bolt cutters to cut the padlock.
Deadbolts have a few more options than padlocks but also very popular compared to other types of locks. All deadbolts that we sell are re-keyable. However, there may be some from other vendors that are harder to re-key. Types of locks like deadbolts come in three primary varieties. First there are standard single sided deadbolts. These deadbolts have a key cylinder on the outside, and a thumb-turn (rosary) on the inside. These deadbolts are found on most American homes and have one primary weakness in that if access to the inside is possible, the door can be opened. This includes a nearby window or even access through a peephole in the door using some simple tools. The second type of deadbolt is called a double deadbolt. It has a key cylinder on both the outside and inside. In order to lock or unlock it, one must always use a key. These have the clear disadvantage of requiring a key to open the door from the inside if it is locked. This can pose a significant problem when there is a fire or other emergency situation.
If used in a residential situation, it is strongly recommended that a key is left on the inside of a double deadbolt when people are in the house to ensure easy exit in case of an emergency. The final type of deadbolt is called a lockable thumb-turn. It is a hybrid between a standard and a double deadbolt. It does have a thumb-turn on the inside that works like a normal deadbolt.
However, it has the added feature that using the key, you can lock the inner thumb-turn, so it cannot lock or unlock the door until the key is used to unlock it. This means in a residential situation, the thumb-turn can be left in an unlocked position when people are inside the house, and it will operate exactly like a standard deadbolt. When everyone is leaving, especially for extended periods of time, the thumb-turn can be easily locked so that even if someone has access to the door from the inside, the deadbolt cannot be unlocked. This type of deadbolt provides the maximum flexibility and security out of the 3 types in most situations. Finally, deadbolts can be specific to certain door setups.
Knob Locks
Knob locks are frequently installed in residential situations on outside doors in addition to deadbolts and are sometimes used as the primary source of security for doors. They are most the most common types of locks for homes and offices. First and foremost, it should be said that knob locks should virtually never be used for security on external doors. The problem lies in the fact that the lock cylinder is in the knob itself and not the door. In almost all setups, they can be broken off the door with a hammer, or bypassed using pliers or a wrench behind the knob, completely bypassing the locking cylinder. If you currently have knob locks, consider replacing them with simple passage knobs as it will provide almost as much security as long as you are using deadbolts on the same doors. If you are purchasing complete knob setups, then you only need to ensure the proper handedness and back-set as with deadbolts.
If you are looking to purchase only knob cylinders (sometimes called KIK cylinders) for retrofitting into current locks, there are several other items to be aware of. Because they come in several different subtle shapes, it is important that the form factor matches the correct style that you need. In addition to the different sizes/shapes of the locks, on the back of each cylinder is a piece called the cam or tailpiece. The cam is what interfaces with the lock itself, and you must ensure you have the proper piece to make sure the cylinder will work.
Lever Handle Locks
Lever handle locks are frequently used for inner doors, specifically in commercial settings. They have a large push down style handle used to open the door. Lever locks are frequently used over knob locks and other types of locks as they are easier to open as they can be pushed down rather than having to turn a knob. Frequently when accessibility, particularly for handicap individuals, is important lever locks are used. Our lever handle locks can be changed between left and right handedness, however you must know the proper back-set.
Cam Locks
Cam locks are used in various applications but are most frequently found in filing cabinets. They come in a few different lengths, but the primary area in which they vary are on the metal piece on the back of them. This part is frequently called a tailpiece or the "cam" (yes the same name as the lock), and it interfaces with the actual locking mechanism. There is a very large variety of options for the cams.
Rim/Mortise Locks
Rim and Mortise locks are frequently found on commercial doors, entry glass doors, and some apartment doors. These are popular types of locks because they are easy to install and have many uses. While rim locks are very similar to mortise locks (in fact many of our Abloy locks are rim/mortise combo locks) the actual hardware they are used on greatly differs. Rim locks are generally used in rim latch locks which are mounted on the inside of the door, rim locks always have a long metal piece extending out the back of the lock. Rim locks are held in place by two screws from the inside that screw into the back of the lock. Mortise locks are locks that are actually screwed into mortise hardware in the middle of the door. They are held in place by a set screw and have a variety of cams that mount on the back of them depending on the exact mortise hardware they are being used in. There is a large variety of options for the cams.
Euro Profile Cylinders
Euro profile cylinders (sometimes called DIN cylinders) are frequently used in locking devices in Europe and other parts of the world. They are also used in North America in some sliding glass door locks and room dividing doors. They come in single cylinder (one sided), double cylinder (locking cylinder on each side), and single with thumb-turn (locking cylinder on one side and thumb-turn on the other).
Wall Mounted Locks
Wall mounted locks are locks that are actually mounted in the wall. The most common type of wall mounted lock would be the Knox-Box or fireman's box style lock found in many larger businesses as an emergency access to the buildings keys. Wall mounted types of locks can be used for more than just key storage, some act as small safes or item deposits. Installation is generally done at time of construction although some wall mounted locks can be easily installed into existing buildings. Most wall locks can be mounted in a variety of wall surfaces. Frequently wall locks will be mounted with covers or alarm sensors to allow networking into the buildings security system (to detect unauthorized access).
Interchangeable Core (IC) Cylinders
Interchangeable Core Cylinders are frequently used in larger institutions and businesses and are known for their easy ability to re-key the lock by swapping out the core without taking the lock apart. I/C Locks have two types of keys that work in the lock, the standard operator key locks and unlocks the lock like normal while the control key, when used, pulls the entire core of the lock out without removing any screws. This is very useful when upgrading locks as the door hardware can be left alone and just the lock cores are replaced with new ones and doors can be upgraded in seconds. The most popular I/C Lock brands are Best, Yale, and Schlage with their figure-eight style cores are well known in the world and found many places. There are different types of locks like IC lock formats with the two most popular being Small Format Interchangeable Core (SFIC) and Large Format Interchangeable Core (LFIC).
Furniture Locks
This category of locks actually covers a variety of locks including cabinet, desk, and sliding door locks. The furniture types of locks are usually used in office desks or kitchen cabinets. There are two primary styles of furniture lock, bolt style and push button style. Bolt style furniture locks have an actual piece of flat metal that extends out the side of the lock to lock the device. Frequently bolt style locks are found on desks, cabinets, and drawers although they are also used in a wide variety of other devices. Push button style locks have a rod that comes out the back of the lock that is used to lock things in place. When the lock is unlocked it pops out retracting the rod into the lock body. The device is then re-locked by pushing the lock back into its shell. They are popular types of locks for filing cabinets and sliding doors to name a few of their common applications.
Vending/T-Handle Locks
These locks are primarily found in vending machines and T-Handle locks although they are sometimes used in other applications. T-Handle locks are frequently exceptionally easy type of locks to replace as when you open the device you are actually pulling the t-handle lock out of it and so you can simply put a new t-handle lock back in when closing and you have upgraded the device. They generally come in two variants, a spring latch that allows the device to be re-locked without needing a key, and a dead latch that requires a key to re-lock the device.
Other Types of Locks
There are still additional types of locks like European locks, switch locks and deposit box locks to name a few. We have an assortment of knowledge on different types of locks. If you have questions about other types of locks, please let us know.

Dear Anne:
My 13-yr old son wants to make a homemade smoke bomb (with adult supervision). Your instructions seem to be the most detailed and thorough. But before conducting this home chemistry experiment, I want to be sure this can be done safely.
What are the risks/potential dangers associated with this procedure?
Is there any risk of the smoke bomb exploding, or igniting rapidly? Under what circumstances?
What should should we watch out for?
Also, where is the best place to buy a small quantity of potassium nitrate? Is it still available at most garden stores? Some stump removers use other chemicals; and some dont list ingredients at all.
Any advice most appreciated!
Tom S.
Chevy Chase, MD
Smoke bombs are made by reacting potassium nitrate (saltpeter) with sugar over low burner heat. The project won't harm your cookware, plus the ingredients are safe enough that you can use the dishes you would use for eating, as long as you clean them. The MSDS for potassium nitrate provides handling and safety details, but I'll summarize the relevant points. Though potassium nitrate is found in some foods, you don't want to eat the pure powder. It's reactive, so it will cause itching and/or burning if you inhale any or get it on your skin. Potassium nitrate should be stored away from heat or flame. The chemical isn't flammable, but it's extremely reactive. Heat promotes reactions, which you don't want occurring on a shelf in your garage, for example. Follow the safety instructions on the container. If you get it on your skin, immediately rinse it off with water. If you spill potassium nitrate on the counter while making the smoke bomb, wipe it off with water.
You want good ventilation while heating the ingredients, as from a vented fan. An outdoor stove would be a good option. The big thing to watch for is spilling the mixture on the burner because it will catch on fire and smoke. If that happens, you'll get a lot of smoke and probably set off your smoke alarm. The smoke itself is no more or less dangerous than wood smoke, which means you don't want to take deep breaths of it. Ignite the smoke bomb outdoors. I can't envision a scenario where it would be possible to cause the smoke bomb to explode. How much flame you get depends on the potassium nitrate to sugar ratio. You can go from a smoky blob that will barely burn to a fast-burning fiery smoke bomb. If you set the smoke bomb on a combustible surface (like dried leaves), it could start a fire. If you need to put out the smoke bomb, you can douse it with water.
The hardest part about making a smoke bomb is finding the potassium nitrate. In some places, it may be sold next to epsom salts in the pharmacy section of a store. It is found in some garden supply centers as a fertilizer. It is sold as a food preservative for making salted meats. If you're highly motivated and have some time, you could even prepare it yourself. However, it's probably easiest to buy a small quantity online (e.g., Sargent-Welch). Supposedly some Indian food stores sell it as an ingredient named Kala Nimak. If you're in the UK, there is a forum discussion listing places that offer potassium nitrate. It's harder to find than in the past, not so much because it can be used to make gunpowder as because better products are available for most applications.

I made a mixture of molten sugar and potassium nitrate on the stovetop when I was a teenager and put it in a container and let it harden. I remember it making more than smoke though. Once I got it lit, it made a flame several feet high and burned a pretty good hole in the grass underneath. It was good clean fun.

My 17yo neighbour liked to make smoke bombs like this. He made one this afternoon with no problems – then when heating up a 2nd batch – it unexpectedly lit up while still in the pan. He got many BURNS on his legs & arm – that quickly developed into blisters & were VERY PAINFUL. He got some blisters between his toes – so he CAN'T WALK. This is despite correct burns treatment – putting it under cold running water & then to hospital. He vows he NEVER wants to make one again. It is NOT SAFE!!!

yo neighbors a moron. Let me also guess that you weren't there and have NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED!!! He might have used a different recipe or spilled it a little on a gas or fire stove. It doesn't take much to ignite and how did he get burned? this isn't f- ing gunpowder it doesn't burn that fast or have the flames tall enough to burn you, his face would have to be in the pan to get bad enough burns to go to the hospital. Don't ruin everyones fun pu55y.
- July 5, 2012 at 9:16 am(9) Lethal babe says:
This thing is safe until you make large batches, just tried making one yesterday and kitchen caught on fire with tons of marks on flooring, ceiling, and countertop. Overall, just be safe and don't spill this stuff on the stove or you will definently have the fire department coming and a ruined kitchen for like ever. But this stuff is pretty cool, i made three other batches before and one of them made a soup heat up to a sizzling red color, so just be safe and smart.
- July 28, 2012 at 1:59 pm(10) i tried it says:
i made a smoke bomb , pottasium + sugar on low heat and a spoon of baking soda as shown here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zdo2m0-o7Oo
after i done, i filled it into a paper tube , waited a hour and tried to light it . the mixture was very hard was very difficult to light it up , then my brother lighted it some how and it started to fire like rocket fuel fortunately its only burned my brother hand a bit . please reply why it happened because i made the same before that and all worked good
- January 24, 2013 at 8:27 pm(11) Jack Eagan says:
This is safe however I would not use a gas burner. Get a cheap electric burner for $20 at target. This way there is no open flame and precise heat control far below the flashpoint of the sugar saltpetre mix. Also do this outside in an area with nothing less then 5ft above it. And remember to make small batches.
Stay Safe

Quick question do you have to use a pan and stove? I want to do this at school in a lab. Can I use a beaker and Bunsen burner instead?
- April 9, 2013 at 8:48 pm(13) Connor says:
I wouldn't ever recommend doing this at school. If the smallest bit reacts then you're in big trouble. Fire alarms will go off and your school is going to be smokey for awhile. I'm not a lawyer or anything but there may be a possibility of the school suing. Don't try it at school. There are many other places to show your friends but school is not one.

There I a mixture that doesn't require any cooking.60 grams spectacide stump remover(100% potassium nitrate found in Wal-Mart gardening section) 40 grams sugar mixed together and then mixed into 30 grams of melted paraffin wax(in canning supply or with the jello in Wal-Mart). Should be the consistency of a slushy. Put in container and let dry for anywhere from 2hrs to 9 hrs. Fuse is helpful in lighting it. Just cannibalize some old fireworks and add that powder into it for easier light. Produces some flame. Have fun. Lots of smoke. Light somewhere without grass or flammables or have a shovel and water handy.
- August 20, 2013 at 3:13 am(15) tristan foyle says:
Smoke bombs aren't as safe as they appear. Some sites call for baking soda to be added, but this can cause combustion while being cooked. I had this happen and it destroyed the kitchen.
Also when extinguishing smoke bombs be at a safe distance if you put them out. Water can cause them to explode.
And always wear protective goggles. I'm not an overly safe person but this is a must.
- August 20, 2013 at 9:33 am(16) Easy says:
You said that it is sometimes sold as fertilizer which I think might be incorrect. I know it's sold as stump remover so I'm not sure if it could be used as a fertilizer. But I could be wrong.
- October 5, 2013 at 4:54 pm(17) Tong says:
I made some when I was younger, and when they say a low flame, they mean a LOW flame, even on a gas cooker the lowest setting triggered ignition and potassium nitrate burns at a high temperature, it went through the pan and the enamel on the cooker, let alone filling the house with thick white smoke. I recommend heating the sugar alone first, and removing from the heat before mixing in the potash and pouring into container.
Potassium nitrate is sold as a fertilizer, potassium is used by plants to harden the roots and open wounds from pruning to protect them from winter frosts.
- February 25, 2014 at 11:17 am(18) David says:
Lets be fair anything that melts glass cant be considerd safe. However teaching children to take the correct precausions is more important that preventing them from learning about science.
I have done KN03 experiments with my 7 year old daughter. We tested KN03 sugar mixtures to find which burned the fastest.
We then made a rocket out the fastest mixture by compressing the mixture with a hammer into a pipe and capping the two ends with clay then drilled a hole through the bottom up the centre of the compressed mixture. made fins and a pointy nose which we painted.
made fuses by mixing hot water with the mixture untill it was a paste and soaking absorbant string with it then left them to dry.
we made the smoke bombs (outside with a camping stove) for around the lanch site. we found that if we kept the mixture contained by using cuts of scafolding poles capped again with clay at one end the mixture had a slower burn. we also added baking soda and tried one with green packed tightly at the top.
we tried adding littlle bits of copper to see if we could get a green flame but it never worked.
- May 21, 2014 at 6:43 am(19) Aminn says:
I had done it. At the first time it's successful. But on the second attempt, it explodes while i'm making the pottasium and the sugar to caramelise. This sounds dangerous. The smokes full all over my house. Can i know what is happening actually ?

Ravi was on his way back from India as we recorded this one....Allen and Sid review the Real Sociedad league match (we liked that one), briefly review the second leg of the Copa (not as good) and then review our win over Almeria last weekend.
We then prove we're as confused as anyone about why Real Valladolid are where they are--much better roster than Almeria, but in the drop zone--and give our predictions for this one. We also look at the remaining schedule and how it might favor Athletic Bilbao of the challengers for fourth in La Liga. Have a listen.

Paul Krugman: Lies, Damned Lies, And Elections
Back in 2000, George W. Bush made a discovery of enormous consequence: you could base a whole political campaign on claims that were flatly untrue, like the claim that your big tax cuts for the wealthy went to the middle class, or the claim that diverting Social Security funds into private accounts would strengthen the system's finances, and reporting would never point this out. That's when I formulated my doctrine that if Bush said the earth was flat, headlines would read Views Differ on Shape of Planet.

|Police reports
|Thursday, January 23, 2014 9:27 PM
At approximately 5:43 p.m. Jan. 17, officers received a complaint from a male stating that two subjects had just stolen his wallet. Officers were given the names of the suspects and the description of the wallet. Moments later, officers located the suspects and retrieved the item matching the description. As a result of the investigation, Christian Hubbard, 17, of Delphos will be charged with theft and Scott Bowen Jr., 18, of Delphos will be charged with receiving stolen property. Bowen will appear in Lima Municipal Court and Hubbard in Allen County Juvenile Court to face the charge.
Delphos Police officers were on patrol at approximately 7:30 p.m. Saturday and conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle for equipment infractions. During the traffic stop, officers conducted a search of the vehicle and located a small amount of marijuana. As a result, 25-year-old Joshua Hurles of Delphos was issued a citation for possession of marijuana and an equipment violation. He will appear in Lima Municipal Court to face the charge.
At approximately 5 p.m. Tuesday, a Delphos officer on patrol conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle for a registration violation. Upon making contact with the driver, 28-year-old Jason Stevenson of Delphos, it was found that Stevenson's driving status was suspended. As a result, Stevenson was issued a citation for driving under suspension and the registration expiration. He will appear in Lima Municipal Court at a later date.
At 6:15 p.m. Tuesday, officers made contact with a female and her two children at the Delphos Fire Department. The woman had been in a motor vehicle crash outside of Delphos and had driven to the fire department to receive medical attention for her children. During the investigation of the incident, probable cause was found to arrest the female driver, Tanya Neal, 42, of Delphos for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. Neal was ultimately charged with the OVI as well as child endangerment, both misdemeanors of the first degree. She will appear in Lima Municipal Court on the charges. Neal is also facing charges in Van Wert County pending the Sheriff's Office investigation.
The Delphos Police Department Detective Bureau is currently investigating a series of breaking and enterings at area businesses. The first occurred on Sunday in the 600 block of Elida Avenue. The next two occurred on Thursday, both in the 800 block of Ohio Street. In all three incidents, forced entry was made into the businesses. Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Delphos Police Department.

The 21% Uninsured Mississippians are Straining Health Care ProvidersBy Daniel Cherry | Published 14 Sep 2011 07:53pm |
More than one out of every five Mississippians do not have health insurance. MPB's Daniel Cherry reports how the hundreds of thousands without coverage are putting a strain on health care providers in the state.
Kim McLemore works at a salon in Jackson. Her employer offers insurance, but she can't afford to buy in. Every day she drives an hour one way to work. She says spending that much time on the road, and the thought of getting sick often weighs heavy on her mind.
"I'm sure there's been times that I was kind of sick and just didn't go to the doctor, and if I had insurance I probably would. It's kind of scary to think about if I was there and I couldn't be treated because I don't have insurance. Because that happens to people all the time."
She's just one of more than 600 thousand Mississippians who don't have health insurance according to the U.S. Census Bureau. In 2000 65 percent of Americans received insurance through their employer. Ron Pollack, the Executive Director of Families USA, an organization for health care consumers says last year only 55 percent got that same coverage.
"Fewer and fewer people can get coverage the way we used to get coverage, through the workplace. More and more people are dependent on safety net coverage, programs like Medicaid in order to have a lifeline so that they can get healthcare."
Hospitals are feeling the pinch as the numbers grow. Dr. Scott Stringer is the Associate Vice Chancellor for Clinical Affairs at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. He says for every one percent without insurance, the hospital loses seven million dollars. Losses mean hospitals have to change their strategy.
"You can no longer afford to care for those that cannot otherwise afford to pay, and you end up cutting services, unable to provide new equipment, unable to provide, for example, transplants in our state. People would have to go out of state for those things."
Mississippi is the 4th worst in the nation for uninsured residents.

A brisk, witty novel by a 31-year-old writer hardly seems the place to expect depth and wisdom. And yet German novelist Daniel Kehlmann has given us both in abundance in his historical tale "Measuring the World."
A blockbuster in Kehlmann's homeland, where it has sold more than 600,000 copies, "Measuring the World" has been identified as a kind of pivot toward high-brow lightness and the recovery of humor in a land whose literature remains shadowed, if not shrouded, by the need to account for World War II. By setting the story a century before Nazism, in the heyday of German intellectual influence (Kant appears in the story as an old sage; Goethe makes a cameo), Kehlmann evokes the thrill of human capacities on the brink of unmatched scientific discoveries.
But then, more subtly, he shows in the midst of this golden age the necessary incompleteness of all human understanding. As the characters take brilliant measure of the physical world, Kehlmann takes their measure, and ours, with the superior instrument of art. Hitching the rich tradition of German ideas to prose that is free, confident and full of gusto, Kehlmann achieves a rare synthesis of what Hamlet dubbed "blood and judgment." This remarkable novel is both vital and profound.
The story alternates between the imagined lives of two of Germany's greatest intellectual figures: the explorer and naturalist Alexander von Humboldt, and the mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss. The men share an ambition -- to precisely measure the size of the world. But their methods -- Humboldt favors daring adventure, Gauss precise equations -- are as different as their personalities.
Humboldt is a fearless, tireless, sexless early riser. Unsentimental to a fault, and, according to his traveling companion, utterly unknowable, Humboldt sets off for the Americas eager to test current scientific theories, gather plant and animal specimens, climb the highest known mountain and trace tropical rivers to their sources. Humboldt is so single-minded in his quest that he seeks out pain if it promises a payoff for his work. Made numb and stiff from an encounter with electric eels, he is ecstatic at the new knowledge acquired, and when he tastes dangerous Amazonian poison he is matter of fact: it "had to be researched, so he had to take the risk."
If this unwavering, comical zeal recalls Don Quixote, Humboldt's French companion, Bonpland, steps in as Sancho Panza. The two banter like the knight and his squire, and when Humboldt dodges an attacker, Bonpland, Sancho-like, gets clubbed in the face on the leader's behalf. Then, in one of the book's many taut vignettes, when the explorers almost die on a snow bridge high in the mountains and a shaken Bonpland wants to know what Humboldt had been thinking at that brink, his response has the old knight's stoical evasiveness: "He had ordered himself not to think. ... And so he hadn't thought anything."
The essence of Humboldt's mad idealism, however, is distilled in a passing scene on a boat. A terrible storm rages, and so "that the storm wouldn't be useless," Humboldt has himself lashed to the bow, where he leans just above the roiling water with a sextant to his face, measuring waves. He remains fixed there an entire day, and when he is finally taken down, red-faced and understandably "a little confused," the sailors all "took him for the Devil." The reader takes him, with delight, for the absurd Quixote. Kehlmann's Humboldt is a glorious comic figure who would rather catalogue the number of lice crawling along a woman's braid than join her in a tent, and who, hailed in Russia as the man who knows everything, in fact scarcely even knows himself.
The mathematician Gauss, in contrast, is a testy, impulsive, melancholy homebody, who sleeps late and makes endless, irritated demands of those around him. If he is less likable than Humboldt it is because he has less vitality. In fact, an early confrontation with suicide casts a long shadow of despair across his maturation. Gauss also lacks Humboldt's aristocratic ease. As the novel passes from the 18th to the 19th century, Humboldt becomes an emblem of a passing hierarchical world: the leisurely, generalist gentleman, who uses his high advantages in the service of humanity, but who is ultimately nave about actual human beings.
Gauss is more modern. He is the hard-working specialist who has suffered too much to be nostalgic for older orders but who isn't, because of that, liberated by the new. Gauss is a hermit sage, cantankerous, cruel and darkly wise. His wedding speech, in which he declares happiness to be "something like a mistake in arithmetic, an error" captures his sour stoicism, and then provokes from his bride one of the book's best lines: "It was exactly the speech she had always dreamed of for her wedding." We are not surprised in the least when, later, losing his connubial concentration, Gauss springs out of bed to jot down a math insight. The stars, unlike the sheets, cannot be asked to wait. Gauss' brilliance helped measure the world, but like Humboldt he lacks the instruments to measure human concerns -- especially his own.
Throughout the novel, then, Gauss is the more cynical yin to Humboldt's comic yang. Both men lack all appreciation for art, whose impact can't be quantified, and Kehlmann's rich artistic portrayals suggest that this is their deeper problem. These great minds study, describe and order the cosmos, but they remain private residents of their own small lives. As they meet late in the novel, having failed to achieve what they saw as their destinies, their best work behind them, perhaps to be forgotten by posterity, surely to be surpassed, they each experience the inevitable closing in of time, which measures all our passing days as sure as math measures the seemingly permanent heavens.
This terrifying reduction of great minds to their private confrontation with mortality is the novel's tragic underside. As Kehlmann draws the two men together on the far side of their accomplishments, the scenes are philosophically tense and emotionally painful -- and even, because emotions have been so spare in the story, revelatory. That a 31-year-old writer has done this with zest and humor, historical range and impressive authority, feels like a fortuitous theft. Kehlmann has picked Nature's pocket and offered us the marvelous booty.

The Division II district girls tennis tournament could've of been a launching pad for a decent area contingent to be at state in Columbus.
John F. Kennedy's Laurencia Lee, Cardinal Mooney's Kacy Haggerty and doubles teams from Cardinal Mooney, Struthers and Poland were all alive heading into Saturday's play at Harvard Park.
The top five doubles teams and top five singles advanced to state.
The only one to come through was the Mooney doubles team of Dominique Cicchi and Jamie DiDomenico, which beat Rocky River's Lucy Grierson and Alex Riegelsberger for third place, 7-5, 6-0.
This is the third straight year Cicchi and DiDomenico have made it to districts.
"I know attitude effects productivity and they just wanted it," Mooney coach Jimmy Leslie said. "They prepared very hard for this moment.
"The thing that catapulted them this year over previous years was maturity. Mentally, we talked about visualizing, being in that moment. Instead of being nervous, which you see out of a lot of the girls get nervous, they want it even more and earn their way to state."
Mooney's team will be a three seed at next week's state tournament.
"It's not enough for them to go to state, but they want to do well there," Leslie said.
Lee lost in straight sets to Orange's Adrian Young, 6-2, 6-1, ending the John F. Kennedy senior's career.
Haggerty lost to St. Thomas Aquinas' Neya Sterling, 6-4, 7-5.
Struthers' Anastasia Cardarelli and Missi Soldressen lost to Hathaway Brown's Sarah Adler and Rachel Persky, while Poland's Elise Eckman and Cara Palusak lost to Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin's Ivana Didovic and Christina Kircher, 3-6, 6-4, 7-5.
Struthers' and Poland's teams were playing to get into the doubles fifth-place match.
However, Cicchi and DiDomenico are happy to be the last doubles team standing.
"They're not just proud to represent Mooney, but represent Youngstown and they know we're the only Youngstown team going down there," Leslie said.
This year, the Canfield player tried her hand at singles and is heading back to Columbus in the Division I tournament.
Pavlansky won her first match Saturday at Oberlin College - beating Lake's Katherin McCauley, 0-6, 6-1, 6-2.
Then, she defeated Medina's Ali Garrity, 6-2, 0-6, 6-2, to place fifth.
The top six seeds head to state.

ANDERSON, Ind. — Three other starters are listed as questionable for the Dolphins game — inside linebacker Jerrell Freeman (quad), tight end Dwayne Allen (hip) and outside linebacker Erik Walden (hamstring). Inside linebacker Kavell Conner — a likely replacement for Freeman, if needed — also is questionable with an ankle injury after missing last week's opener.
Inside linebacker Pat Angerer is expected to return after sitting out against Oakland while recovering from a concussion. But he, Kelvin Sheppard and Mario Harvey could be the only active interior linebackers.
Sheppard likely will start if Freeman and Conner can't go, and rookie Bjoern Werner would be first in line to replace Walden.
But only Ballard and reserve wide receiver David Reed (quad) have been ruled out against the Dolphins. Each of the other injured players is expected to be a game-time decision.
"I think we've had our share (of adversity)," wide receiver Reggie Wayne said. "I think I've seen my share in my career with this organization, period. I think we got all the right components in place and all the right guys in all the right places to bounce back from this."

News: Kanye West Gets Emotional On "Jay Leno Show" Premiere, "I'm Just Ashamed That My Hurt Caused Someone Else's Hurt" [Video]
Tuesday, Sep 15, 2009 10:15AM
Kanye West has given his first public interview since last Sunday's Video Music Awards rant on "The Jay Leno Show" premiere and said his actions have forced him re-examine himself and his career.
Speaking with television host Jay Leno, Yeezy offered another apology to country singer Taylor Swift.
""It's been extremely difficult...Just dealing with the fact that I hurt someone or took anything away, you know, from a talented artist or from anyone, because I only wanted to help people. My entire life, I've only wanted to give and do something that I felt was right. And I immediately knew in the situation that it was wrong, and it wasn't a spectacle -- it's actually someone's emotions, you know, that I stepped on. And it was very -- it was rude, period. And, you know, I'd like to be able to apologize to her in person...I deal with hurt. And, you know, so many celebrities, they never take the time off. I've never taken the time off to really -- just music after music and tour after tour. I'm just ashamed that my hurt caused someone else's hurt. My dream of what awards shows are supposed to be -- and I don't try to justify it because I was just in the wrong. That's period. But I need to, after this, take some time off and just analyze how I'm going to make it through the rest of this life, how I'm going to improve. Because I am a celebrity, and that's something I have to deal with. And if there's anything I could do to help Taylor in the future or help anyone, I'd like -- you know, I want to live this thing. It's hard sometimes..." ("The Jay Leno Show")
There were also rumored reports which claimed President Barack Obama weighed in on Ye's rant.
During a CNBC interview on Monday, President Obama called hip-hop artist Kanye West a 'jacka**' over his behavior at the MTV Video Music Awards. Obama's colorful remark was actually made in an off-the-record portion of the interview that was tweeted -- and then deleted -- by ABC News reporter Terry Moran. 'Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a 'jacka**' for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential,' Moran wrote. Politico's Michael Calderone has ABC's statement apologizing for Moran's journalistic breach. (Miss Info)
Best Buy senior music merchant Chris Smith has said the move on Ye's behalf may help him out in the long-run.
"Quite honestly, it could end up helping his cause," Smith said. "He has been so pop-leaning of late and appealed to a wider, greater crossover audience. There may be a fear out there that he lost his edge, his street cred. This may have been a way to gain that back, to show that he still has an edge." (Los Angeles Times)
Despite multiple apologies, 50 Cent took Swift's side and scolded Ye for his on-stage rant.
"That was interesting," Fif said in an interview. "When you nominated for the first time, what you saw from me in 2004 was The Grammy's. When I went up, Evanescence won Best New Artist and it was like, I sold 12 million records. That's the largest debuting hip-hop album today and I was overlooked and I still don't have a Grammy. It's been 13 nominations. It's because I wrote the harsh realities, I've been overlooked, completely. So when you got an artist there for the first time and you go and you wanna tell them, well, you know, Beyonce is great. There's nobody that's confused in that actual area. But Taylor Swift is great and is new at that point and you can't replace it. Even an apology can't replace what it feels like for the very first time receiving that award. Now in her head, 'My first award was Kanye West.' And it's damaging, I wish he would come take one of my awards so I can black his eye and in front of everybody..." (Much Music)

It's a vegetable that can grow up to 3-feet long. And Thursday, students in Underhill were racing around the school yard with them.
The Great Zucchini Relay Race is part of the Underhill Central School's Harvest Celebration. Every year, the kids, parents and staff plant a school garden in the spring, tend to it during the summer and harvest it in the fall. Thursday, the kids celebrated all their hard work, merging healthy eating with physical activity as they passed the enormous zucchinis to teammates for the win.
"We teach nutrition and fitness hand-in-hand. So, we came up with the idea of the Great Zucchini Relay and growing the biggest zucchini we could and bringing the whole school together in a community event," said Amanda Cowan, a PE teacher at Underhill Central School.
"It's one of the main veggies in our garden and it grows really, really big," said Abby Effron, a fourth-grader.
"You just want to see how many laps you can do," said Gabe Baron, a fourth-grader. "It got heavy once you've gone around a couple times."
The kids worked up an appetite and after the race, they feasted on all the veggies from the school's garden... zucchini included, of course.

Micronauts the Movie? J.J. Abrams? WTH?
The Wall Street Journal, of all places, currently has an article on Hollywood's gold rush to make movies out of toys and board games following the phenomenal success of Michael Bay's "Transformers". Toward the end of the article, it mentions that "Star Trek's" (and "Lost" mastermind) J.J. Abrams is currently in discussions to produce a movie based on the Japanese toy line Micronauts, which, coincidentally, Hasbro (the same people behind "Transformers") has just acquired.
Opines Abrams:
"Sometimes, when someone is not a celebrity and you are casting them in a role, everyone who is in a seat of authority voices questions about that actor's talent, sex appeal, looks, ability — their everything. But then they get the role, and suddenly they are on the cover of every magazine, and nobody questions those things again. In retrospect, everyone says, 'Of course that person is a star.'"
I don't really remember the Micronauts toyline, but I sure remember the comics. Mind you, not that they were extraordinary or anything, but they came out during my comic book collecting days, and I'm sure I even have an issue or two stashed away. A quick search of the Internet shows a small but dedicated fanbase for the toyline, but if Abrams does end up making this, it will probably be the first time a lot of people has ever heard of "Micronauts".

Acclaimed for his musical lyricism and rich compositional approach, fingerstyle guitarist and composer, Lucas Michailidis was winner of the International 'Open Strings' guitar competition in Germany 2001. The win landed him a recording contract with Acoustic Music Records and a solo spot at the 2002 festival.
CD releases The Offering and Freshwater Road have since garnered attention worldwide along with glowing reviews throughout his native Australia and find Michailidis in a solo acoustic setting, performing unaccompanied, instrumental compositions that demonstrate a broad palette of musical expression. His extensive and unconventional use of guitar tunings, provides the music with a fresh, melodically driven approach that is free of cliche.
Michailidis has had music published by American fingerstyle authority - John Stropes as part of the 'Great Compositions by Emerging Artists' series. Stropes is associated with the likes of Leo Kotke, Michael Hedges and Alex Degrassi. As of 2009 his work will be featured in the Victorian Certificate Education (VCE) prescribed listed of notated solo works for contemporary/ popular guitar.
Michailidis performs extensively throughout Australia and abroad and is also regular member of The Children of the Underground, the ensemble led by acclaimed Tartarstan singer Zulya. Together they have toured Europe on several occasions, performed at all major Australian festivals and released the Aria award winning Three Nights (2007) along with highly successful Waltz of Emptiness - winner of the 2005 National Archive Award which enjoyed a top-ten ranking in the European World Music charts.
As an educator, Michailidis contributes regularly to Guitarist Australia magazine and has had articles published for Mel Bay's Guitar Sessions. He is also is an instructor at the University of Melbourne.
Michailidis was brought up on a healthy dose of Carlos Santana and George Benson and later acquired a taste for Pat Metheny, Pat Martino, Ed Bickert, Ed Gerhard, Michael Hedges, Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, Steve Reich, Jimi Hendrix, Rickie Lee Jones and James Taylor.

Item: The History of ISSW and the ISSW Steering Committee
Title: The History of ISSW and the ISSW Steering Committee
Proceedings: Proceedings of the 2006 International Snow Science Workshop, Telluride, Colorado
- Richard Marriott [ ISSW Steering Committee, Seattle, Washington ]
Date: 2006
Abstract: The International Snow Science Workshop began as meetings held informally in the 50s and early 60's. Early meetings were held as special sessions or workshops added to conferences on other topics loosely related to snow and avalanches. As the field grew in size and sophistication, the need for the regular exchange of ideas between practitioners and researchers became increasingly evident. Meetings dealing specifically with snow and avalanches were organized in the 1970's both in Canada and the United States. In 1982, the snow study group at Montana State University organized a meeting that emphasized the importance of interaction and exchanges between practioners and researchers. This group created the title International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW). At ISSW in 1982, an informal meeting of interested parties was held during the conference to discuss the possibility of holding ISSW on a regular basis. Two years later, in Aspen, Colorado, the ISSW Steering Committee was created to provide guidance for future ISSW's. The Steering Committee has maintained an informal organization, meeting only at ISSW's, but has been successful in evolving guidelines for ISSW's and maintaining an unbroken series of Workshops over the past 22 years. This paper describes the intertwined history of ISSW and the Steering Committee. In addition, it presents the guidelines that have been developed for the Workshops over the years and future plans for ISSW and the Steering Committee.

February is Heart Health month – a great time to get going! Only one month into the New Year and not too late to make good on that resolution to move more… one step at a time! It's easy. Nothing fancy. No equipment needed. Just a good pair of walking or running shoes. Here's how you make it fun. Get out there a couple of days a week on your own, then book one "destination" walk or run every weekend. Alone or with a friend… in San Diego, your options are endless. Here are my favorites:
Then, to keep the momentum going, set a goal. Check out www.raceplace.com and pick out a walk or run in the coming months you'd like to train for. You can walk a mile or run a marathon! Note: If you'd like to complete a marathon in 2010 contact the Leukemia Society's "Team in Training." (www.teamintraining.org) They'll set you up with training schedules and running groups to help you achieve your goal.
Have fun!

NHL and NHLPA to Meet on Monday Night … Blue Jackets Top Pick Injures Shoulder … Cowen out 6-8 Months
- Updated: November 18, 2012
- Darren Dreger of TSN: The NHL and NHLPA will get back to negotiations on Monday night in New York.
"Nothing was ever said or even suggested that we needed the details of our proposal "down to the comma. We told them the issues we wanted addressed in the system. We told them we have provided a proposal that we think will effectively address those issues.
"But we told them that we are open to discussing other ways to address those issues if they want to propose any," continued Daly. "In fact, we used the exact example of "if we need five and we have proposed 3+2 to get there, that we are happy to listening to and considering 4+1 instead. I'm not sure why they chose to characterize the way they did. As I've said before, I can only control what we say."
- John Shannon via twitter: Bill Daly said that the meeting was "Their request, their agenda."
- David Pagnotta via twitter: Most of the NHL's main sponsors are able to request a form of compensation after 25 percent of the season is lost, so 21 games. Most of the team sponsors get a game-by-game rebate that are paid back to them in 2013.
- Aaron Portzline via twitter: Blue Jackets 2012 1st round pick, Ryan Murray, suffered a shoulder injury Friday night. It is believed to have dislocated it.
"You'll have to see how much damage he's done to the labrum. Does he have any broken bones from the thrust of the fall? Once it's come out, it tends to come out easier in the future. Our doctors will take a look at the tests and we'll decide the next step."
- Ken Warren of the Ottawa Citizen: Senators Jared Cowen will be out 6 to 8 months after hip surgery to replace a torn labrum.

Time delay in ABC World Cup Coverage
Started watching the World Cup games (and don't ask me which World Cup) from today (missed yesterday's action due to a conference). After a while, was extremely fed up with ABC/ESPN's coverage – the 'play by play' commentary is too inane, full of unnecessary jargons borrowed from American sports and too dumbed down, perhaps in an effort to target the 'ignorant American' audience. On top of that they had this sappy half-time feature that somehow tried to tie-in Germany's Nazi and World War II past and their revival with the 1972 Olympics, the 1974 and this World Cup.
Anyway, finally switched to the Spanish channel, Univision – don't understand much of what they are saying – but the inflections in their voice, especially the excitement whenever a shot is taken at the goal or someone is brought down by a heavy tackle etc, indcates that their heart is in the right place. Couple of points about the coverage. Firstly, crowd noise is more prominent in the Spanish channel – ABC mutes it down for some reason. Secondly, ABC has a 10-second delay in their coverage. What are they worried about – a waldrobe malfunction on the field ?
Btw, love the Adidas Jose + 10 ads. You can see them here and here.
Another great comeback.
Unfortunately, slipping away during the day (the game was at 2.30pm EST) to watch sports for a few hours is much more difficult in the real world as opposed to the graduate student world. So one had to be satisfied following written commentary on the internet – which I must say, does not really work out that well in soccer as compared to cricket.
Not in my wildest imagination did I think that Liverpool would make a comeback following their showing in the first half – three goals against an Italian defense ? That's not just done. Kudos to Steven Gerrard and Benitez for not getting bogged down and mounting an impressive counter attack in the second half, although one might uncharitably suggest that there was very little else they could have done.
I have talked about two major comeback in cricket and baseball in a previous post. While comparison between different sports and situations might be entirely superfluous, I kind of believe Liverpool might have had more of a challenge to overcome. In case of the Red Sox against the Yankees, they had the luxury of playing over several days, taking each game at a time; in the memorable second innings comeback against Australia, the Indians were playing over several hours with breaks in between, in a familiar environment with the opponents slightly disadvantaged by the heat and humidity. Not that I am trying to belittle the sensational nature of the comebacks posted by these teams – but Liverpool had only 10 minutes break – then a stretch of 45 minutes of continuous play, on a neutral ground (ok their supporters took up 75% of the stadium and the neutral were cheering them on in the second half) and against a defense lead by no less of a figure than Paolo Maldini. Call it a fluke, call it inspired leadership by Gerrard, they extracted themselves from one hell of a hole and then held their nerves during the penalty shootouts !!

I spent 4 years working for a Fortune 500 company I affectionally refer to as "the green bean". Part of the culture of leadership and management there was "Employees first, customers second, business third". We were taught, "take care of the employees, the employees will take care of the customers, and the customers will take care of the business".
In reality, I don't see any other way that business can function in a healthy manner. You can FEEL when you walk into an establishment where it's clear the #1 priority is the customer or the business or basically anything BUT the employees. At the same time, you can FEEL when you walk into an establishment where it's clear the company is taking care of her employees first.
For some companies this is just talk – they say the employees are the priority but it's pretty clear by their policies, benefits, work/life balance, etc that it's just talk. And of course there are companies who don't have this as a mantra but have locations that function this way to the extent they're able, and vice versa.
It's all about the leader. What are we doing as leaders to ensure that our employees are happy, healthy, set up for success, trained, given tools and resources, etc so they can take the best care of the customers who are bringing you the business? If all you're focused on is the bottom line or even the customers at the expense of your people, you've got it all backwards.
An excerpt:
So often we think business is all about making money and that customers are the most important thing. But if you don't treat your employees well and give them a reason to come to work, they aren't going to be motivated to give excellent service to your customers, and customers who aren't treated well have lots of other places they can go.
Thanks to Ken Blanchard (@kenblanchard) for sharing this article that resonated so much with me last week.
