For Everett Young, life is all about second chances. He believes it is never too late to do what you love, and his darkest fear is looking back one day and thinking about "what could have been." But to live a life without regrets, you have to take risks, and, according to Everett, learn the difference between chasing every fleeting opportunity and committing to a life of doing what you love. And often, what you love is discovered in childhood, and you realize you always knew it.

Santa shows support for Buffalo tradition

The Broadway Market is always a busy time at Easter. For years, vendors have tried to lure year round shoppers. Now they have Santa on their side as they hope to cash in with visitors over the winter holidays.
The Broadway Market Santa (who has a real authentic beard, not the fake kind) is ready and waiting to greet children at the market. He made a special guest appearance on WKBW-TV's Eyewitness News this Morning this week to kick off festivities.
"We're helping the kids see what's going on and what's happening," he said. "We're doing $5 pictures so come on down and enjoy yourselves. There are fun things to see and tons of crafts."
Specialty vendors feature gifts and more in "Kriskindlemart," a holiday food and craft fair.
While Santa is banking on the history of the Broadway Market for visitors, he says he is going high tech this year, "I'm using an iPad to see who's naughty or nice and I'm actually shopping a bit myself!"
Santa's not alone. This year, a record number of shoppers are also going online to find the perfect gift. According to IBM, online sales were up 26% by 3 p.m. on Cyber Monday, compared to last year. Analysts predict a Cyber Week as online shopping continues to grow.
But, Santa says, you can't find a traditional holiday atmosphere online. And that's what the Broadway Market has been known for since 1888. "All the vendors and all the crafts are there," he said. "There is a lot of beautiful heritage stuff you'll only find at the Broadway Market."
Will shoppers heed Santa's advice and head to the historic market? Stay Tuned. One thing is for certain. Children are doing their best to follow Santa's advice and stay on the nice list. "The cutoff time is Christmas Eve right up to the minute I get to their house," he said. "But you won't find coal in any stockings. It messes up my gloves! They can straighten out. It's a long time to Christmas."

"Very disappointed. I felt misled."
I was expecting another great Van Tharp book only to find out it wasn't written by him. Rather it was written by his students. The whole book talk about how God can help you with trading, and is all his students talk about is how great his paid courses. I feel like the whole book is advertisement to enroll in his Supertrader courses. I didn't learn anything from the audiobook. It was a waste of my time, and I had to skip a few chapters that was so boring, and non-trading related that I fell asleep. I was thoroughly disappointed.
"Great book on Paul Newman's personal life"
I enjoyed listening to this book, and was fascinated with their close relationship. The author reading it made it more personal, although his voice was sometimes distracting. A great audiobook on how Newman's Own and the Whole in the Wall camp was created.

Officials: Bombs, suicide attack kill 12 in Iraq
Three bomb attacks in Iraq including a blast inside a roadside restaurant killed 12 people on Monday, officials said, the latest in a surge of violence that has left nearly 2,000 dead since the beginning of April.
Associated Press
Three bomb attacks in Iraq including a blast inside a roadside restaurant killed 12 people on Monday, officials said, the latest in a surge of violence that has left nearly 2,000 dead since the beginning of April.
The bomb left inside the restaurant in Taji, which serves travelers on the highway linking Baghdad to several northern Sunni-majority cities, killed seven people including two women and a 12-year-old child, two police officers said. Twenty-five others were wounded.
Also in Taji, a bomb placed inside a minibus killed two commuters and wounding 11 others, the police added. Taji is a former insurgent stronghold, located about 20 kilometers (12 miles) north of the Iraqi capital.
In the western town of Fallujah, a suicide bomber set off his explosives-laden belt among a group of policemen, killing three and wounding 21, another police said. The policemen were for waiting buses to be transferred them to a polling station to cast their ballots for Iraq's provincial elections.
Fallujah, part of Anbar, is located 65 kilometers (40 miles) west of Baghdad. Iraq delayed April provincial elections there and in another Sunni-majority province, Ninevah, because of security instability. Residents of these provinces will cast their ballots on Thursday.
Three medical officials confirmed the casualty figures. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release information.
The attack followed a day when at least 51 people were killed in a wave of bombs and shootings across Iraq. Violence has spiked sharply in Iraq in recent months, with the death toll rising to levels not seen since 2008. More than 190 have died this month alone.

Recently, Chelsea's younger brother left to Costa Rica to work on a sustainable, biodynamic farm. It's a three month commitment, and who knows what he will choose to do once he through with his internship. I only bring this up because in the week before he left he stayed with us and the weeks prior to that he was staying in his childhood home, the same place Chelsea's mother left a few weeks before when she moved around the corner from us. I remember thinking how great it was that he spent some time on his own, getting that experience of working and living day-to-day without anyone to answer too.
This led me down the wild track where I started thinking about how each of us forms our identities. I thought about my experiences and then I thought about how my own child will have those same moments. Granted, not the same exact moments, but he/she will have those moments that will hold that same defining significance.
I left my childhood home when I was 19 to go to University of California, San Diego (UCSD). I left and never really returned. My home is still there; my dad still lives there and it will always be "home" and I still visit. But now it is my "childhood home", distinct and different from my own home that I am building now with Chelsea and Bibbs. Skimming down the lanes between memory and nostalgia, I reflect back to when I first moved away. When I started at UCSD I felt good, independent. I never regretted leaving home and I never really remember thinking I wanted to go back to the life I had in Oxnard. Oxnard is a great place and most of my immediate family is still there, but homesickness never really entered my psyche. Looking back, I wonder why I didn't have those moments that many new university students have of missing my parents, brother, cousins, etc. And I attribute it to the moments I had before moving to the city where I spent the next ten years of my life.
Growing up I used to read a lot (I still wish I could read half as much as I did when I was younger!). I read fantasy books, young adult novels, poetry, and a few of the classics. I primarily read fantasy, though, and I had a fascination of different worlds, dragons, castles, knights, dwarves, elves, fairies, magi, mages, and so on (mayhap I have told you how I am still writing that fantasy novel that's been burning inside of me or maybe not). I also had a wonderful high school history teacher and an amazing English teacher who opened my eyes to the possibilities of historical facts and the power of great literature. Well, this obsession with fantasy, history, and literature led me to be fascinated with the Middle Ages and Europe.
One of the first defining moments I remember is when my history teacher (we were his first World History Honor's class…so we had a special place in his heart) arranged to have a 30-day trip through EF tours from London to Greece the summer after we graduated from high school (July 2000). We still had to pay something but since it was an organized tour the fee we paid included the round-trip plane ticket, breakfasts, dinners, lodgings, and transportation for those 30 days. Needless to say, I jumped on the opportunity and cadged my parents relentlessly until they agreed to let me go. Reflecting back with my adult sensibilities I realize they must have worked really hard to put together the money for me to have this opportunity, and it is still one of the most memorable trips of my life.
I kept a journal those 30 days (stories to come?), and I have not really read it since I wrote the pages down, but I know the experience of trans-Atlantic travel, spending 30 days with 17 of my classmates (including the classmates I was closest too in high school), and this amazing history teacher (who still is on my Facebook feed today), and limited adult supervision (and no parental supervision) prepared me for the shock, or at least assuaged it, of moving away permanently from my childhood home. A rite of passage if you will (that's for you Sampa per our conversation the other day!). I felt confident moving away, I felt secure. Don't get me wrong I did not become who I am today because of that trip, but it was just one of those defining moments that helped shape my identity. Maybe I would go so far as to say this trip was the impetus that led to my independent nature, my fascination with history and literature (I ended up majoring in both of those at UCSD), my desire to travel, to study abroad, to go to Peace Corps, all of these moments that followed came from that one 30 day trip, but I also know my own upbringing had something to do with it too.
My parents allowed me a lot of responsibility and independence as I went through high school. They trusted me and helped me experience different things the best way they could, small moments, large moments, all…just…moments. I am sure acting and performing in drama helped me come out of my shell as well, also playing soccer and going to plays and experiencing art. Each piece is part of who I am today; we are not whole when we come out of the womb, but it's those defining moments that make us.
Coming full circle I am so happy for Chels' brother to have the experience of moving away and having those defining moments himself. And it makes me wonder (and hope) that 30 years from now I could be possibly reading a similar post from Bibbs about the moments, about the experiences, extolling what he/she experienced as well as the amazingness of his/her parents.

Tomas' asking price may dampen Phillies' interest
Cuban slugger, 24, reportedly seeking $100M deal
PHILADELPHIA -- Some folks in baseball still consider the Phillies to be the favorites to sign Cuban outfielder Yasmany Tomas. But are they?
The Phillies have seen Tomas multiple times over the past several weeks, and sources believe he could be a productive power hitter in the big leagues, which is something the Phillies desperately need. But sources also said some in the organization have continued concerns about Tomas' conditioning and defense.

IDOL WATCH: The Top 8 Tackle the 80s!
It's another week of performances on Ammmerican Idol! This week, Gwen Stefani and No Doubt bassist Tony Kanal are the guest coaches, Tommy Hilfiger makes an inconspicuous disappearance from the show and Ryan reminds us that this week is eighties week with an old picture of Randy.
First up is DeAndre, who decides to sing large portions of "I Like It" by DeBarge in a pitch that only dogs can hear, leading Jimmy to predict that he'll be in the bottom three before he even performs. Ouch. That's harsh even for Jimmy. Still, DeAndre flips his hair around impressively and sounds, to me anyway, a lot better than last week. "I do like it!" J-Lo tells him. "I like it a lot!"
Elise chooses Foreigner's "I Wanna Know What Love Is." Elise still annoys me - and though she's (impartially) one of the best vocalists in the competition, the whole thing sounds a bit off. I'm a bit of a sucker for a chorus joining in at the end of the song, but even that can't save it. "It was just out of tune everywhere for me," Randy says.
Of course, Idol has to toss in a few group numbers for a two-hour show. This week, it's duets, and Skylar and Colton sing "Islands in the Stream." It's actually much better than the trios last week - easy to listen to on both parts - but still seems really unnecessary to the show.
Phillip Phillips chooses "That's All" from Genesis. It's a song that fits him well - he's very consistent, and this week is no exception - and in a nice gesture he has his brother-in-law on stage to play guitar with him. "You're a wildflower," Steven mumbles. No, seriously.
Hollie and DeAndre don't fare quite as well as Colton and Skylar with their duet: "I'm So Excited" by The Pointer Sisters. They improve as the song goes on, but these duets are so meaningless they could have bombed the thing and it wouldn't matter.
"If You Don't Know Me By Now" by Simply Red, as recorded by diva Patti LaBelle, is Joshua's choice. Everything about the performance rings of Idol's first few seasons - from the suit that Joshua's wearing to the smoke on the floor to the chorus - and while it's not always necessarily on pitch (you know, if you care about those kinds of things, which the judges clearly don't 90% of the time) it's the kind of "vocal gymnastics" that Joshua does very well and the judges love it.

The Sarah Silverman Program (Netflix Link)
Sarah Silverman's persona exerts such gravity that the excellent writers and ensemble cast in her orbit can go unnoticed. Did you know that The Sarah Silverman Program was co-created with Community's Dan Harmon? Or that Comedy Central fired him from the show way before firing Dan Harmon from awesomely funny shows was cool? Way less mainstream than Community, TSSP featured transgressive storylines and a willingness to shock -- charmingly, sweetly -- in an era when the network was more interested in racist puppetry than smashing icons. Like Community, the show is informed by a heightened and absurd reality, as much Harmon's influence as Silverman's. The show surrounded its star with big names from the last decade of alternative comedy, including Paul F. Tompkins, Patton Oswalt, Zach Galifianakis, Brian Posehn, Steve Agee, Tig Notaro and many others. (Chris Packham)

What should the Mariners do with Chone Figgins?
Mariners third baseman Chone Figgins, who signed with the team after the 2009 season to much fanfare and the tune of $36 million over four years, clearly is not in the organization's long-range plans.

Foul ball or phone call? This guy catches both

A lovely warming sauce; a good sinus-clearer; or just some proper traditional Italian cooking! This sauce announces itself at full volume, because of the chillies, but is also full of flavour. It is pantry food - a sauce that can be thrown together from ingredients you can keep in the cupboard for months at a time. This is the simplest recipe for it I have found, but is still delicious. When condensed down there may not seem to be much sauce, but you want to treat this like pesto - a small quantity swirled through lots of pasta, rather than drowning in sauce. If you try to split this only between two you may find it too rich.

While his bowling remains important to Australia, consideration must be given to him moving down the batting order
November 12, 2011
Related Links
News : Watson could move down the order
News : Opening my primary job - Watson
Features : The new and improved Shane Watson
Peter Roebuck : Watson's turnaround
Players/Officials: Shane Watson
Series/Tournaments: Australia tour of South Africa
Teams: Australia
Shane Watson is unfailingly honest. On Australia's disastrous second day in Cape Town, he took five wickets and then was dismissed in the first over of Australia's innings. When asked after the game if his bowling work affects his mindset when he walks out to open the batting, he was frank.
"After getting five wickets, you don't have any time to soak it in and re-approach your batting," he said. "Before I knew it I was back in the pavilion. It's a balancing act to mentally switch off my bowling and wait to enjoy it until after the day's play. That's something I need to do better because when I have got wickets or bowled quite a bit, I haven't scored any runs."
Watson does not want to give up opening, but Australia's problem is that he has taken too many wickets in recent times. Or rather, Watson has had to take too many wickets, because the rest of the bowlers haven't. In suitable conditions, he swings the ball more than any of his colleagues. He bowls full enough and curves the ball late enough to trouble top-class batsmen. At times he looks like he is running in treacle as he approaches his delivery stride. But he gets the job done.
Over the past 18 months, only Mitchell Johnson has collected more victims for Australia than Watson, who during that period has taken more five-wicket hauls - three - than any other Australia bowler.
He has just entered the top 10 on the ICC's Test bowling rankings, a career high. He has become, whether Australia realises it or not, a bowling allrounder. It is illogical for a bowling allrounder to open the batting. Of course, his place in the team is inextricably linked to the success or failure of the other bowlers, notably Johnson.
Johnson may have more taken wickets than Watson over the last 18 months, but his average is nearly twice as high. His place in the team must be questioned, and if he makes way for another fast man who more consistently threatens the opposition batsmen, Watson's bowling workload might decrease.
His work ethic is not in question. On Saturday, on what should have been the fourth day of the Test, the Australians scheduled an optional training session back at Newlands. Watson was one of five players who turned up, along with Phillip Hughes, Ricky Ponting, Trent Copeland and Nathan Lyon. Watson was the last man remaining in the nets, facing throwdowns after the others had left.
But besides his bowling work, and despite his desire to open, there are other arguments for him to move down the order. He has not scored a Test century since October last year, and has made only two in 43 innings as a Test opener. There have been plenty of fifties, but openers must bat long more often.
By pairing Watson and Hughes, Australia are trusting two aggressive stroke-makers to see off the new ball. It is a fraught approach. The most successful opening partnerships have been based on a balance between defence and attack. Matthew Hayden's power was offset by Justin Langer's fight; Mark Taylor's stubbornness at the crease allowed Michael Slater to flourish. Sometimes two accumulators can form a fine partnership - Jack Fingleton and Bill Brown, for example, or Taylor and Geoff Marsh - but rarely do two dashers thrive at the top of a Test order.
The journalist Ray Robinson once wrote of Bill Lawry that if not actually wedded to his wicket, they were at least going steady. It is not clear that either Watson or Hughes are quite as attached to theirs.
Even if Hughes is eventually dropped, perhaps for David Warner, the imbalance will remain. The man in Australia's side who is temperamentally most suited to partnering a strokeplaying opener is Shaun Marsh. There is no reason that Marsh could not be promoted to open. He has the skill and the composure to succeed against the new ball. Watson could complete his bowling duties, rest, and then bat anywhere from No. 4 to No. 6.
The change might not be made for the second Test in Johannesburg. Other factors - Marsh's back injury and Ricky Ponting's poor form key among them - will come into play. But for the long-term good of Australia's Test side, consideration must be given to Watson moving down the order.

Main Magic Is Evil Discussion Archive
back to Main/MagicIsEvil Discussion
This is discussion archived from a time before the current discussion method was installed.
Working Title:
Magic Is Evil
Roland: I notice someone removed the Dresden Files as an example; any reason why? I think it's an excellent example, really, given the almost universally malicious bent of magical beings and the extremely easily-accessed
Black Magic
compared to relatively limited "safe" magic.
Jerrik: I removed it because I felt the entry was taking things out of context.
In the
Dresden Files
, while magic is in theory a power for life and creation, no matter how many times Harry claims this it doesn't seem to add up. A shockingly disproportionate number of supernatural creatures are at best somewhat ambivalent to human life, the predominant magical association conducts its affairs totally without any regard for
authorities and is at best harsh and unyielding in its discipline, and the predominant way most young wizards develop their power leads them almost invariably to
The Dark Side
, whereupon the only solution is apparently to kill them with only a rudimentary trial. It also makes the protagonist's life uncomfortable with relatively few payoffs, since it acts against modern technology; all in all it seems like it would be better not to have the power around at all.
1. The kind of magic humans use is not the same kind of magic used by supernatural creatures; the power comes from different sources. 2. The White Council are dicks, yes, but they do play a very large role in protecting humanity from the various species that want to either enslave, prey upon or wipe out mankind. 3. Only a small amount of new magic users end up using
Black Magic
, most of them either join the White Council or one of the smaller magical communities, where they learn to use magic responsibly. 4. Harry's difficult life is something that is unique to him, and is mostly the result of him running around trying to act like a superhero. It is stated that most other wizards live a comfortable, quiet life of study or make ridiculous amounts of money using their abilities.
The books do tend to focus mostly on the negative aspects of magic, but that is because they detail Harry fighting against the worst the supernatural world has to offer, not because magic in the series is inherently bad. If you really,
think it belongs here, then I won't protest if you add it again, but I don't think it's an example.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee sees a Libyan stalemate and wants NATO to bomb Moammar Gadhafi's inner circle and military headquarters.
South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham says those closest to Gadhafi "need to wake up every day wondering, 'Will this my last?'"
Graham tells CNN's "State of the Union" that the quickest way to end the stalemate is "to cut the head of the snake off."
The U.N. Security Council authorized military action to protect Libyan civilians and to impose a no-fly zone. But Graham tells CNN's "State of the Union" that "it's going to be hard" for the U.S. to achieve its national security interests if Gadhafi remains.
Two missiles apparently fired by NATO warplanes struck near Gadhafi's compound in Tripoli early Saturday.

Faldo goes to the ladies over the Tour
CBS and Golf Channel analyst Nick Faldo (below) made as much news as he covered last week. Word leaked that Faldo will work the weekend rounds of the McDonald's LPGA Championship (June 7-10) for Golf Channel, even though CBS will be broadcasting the PGA Tour's Stanford St. Jude Championship the same weekend. It's a nice attention-getting coup for the LPGA major, and after all, why should the women be spared Faldo's lacerating wit?
Faldo, who will turn 50 on July 18, also said that he will make his Champions tour debut at the July 26-29 Senior British Open at Muirfield, where he won the first of his six majors 20 years ago. "A Senior Open title at Muirfield to go with my two regular Open Championships there is certainly my goal," Faldo said. Faldo has not won any event since the 1997 Nissan Open. He last played at Muirfield in the 2002 British Open and finished 59th.
