Dish of the Day: How to… enjoy port
If sherry conjures up images of little old ladies then surely port brings visions of slightly aged, ahem, portly men to mind. On the whole, it's regarded as an end of the meal drink and a big meal at that, either enjoyed on its own or, particularly at this time of year, paired with a fine Stilton.
But there's a revolution underway, a movement which is aiming to bring port from the back of the drinks cabinet to the centre of the dining table. And it's not solely aimed at the traditional port drinker.
Churchill's Port House is the first pop-up port bar in the capital if not the whole of the UK. Spread over three storeys, it takes in a teeny gallery space on the top floor, a low-key chef's table in the middle and a small restaurant at ground level. The mood is decidedly boho in Soho and none the worse for it.
Seven varieties of ports are offered, ranging from woody whites to rich, full-bodied vintage tawnies – each of which can be paired with the small but exquisite selection of tapas dishes on offer. True they all come from one stable – Churchill's, hence the name above the door but as they're all absolutely delicious, that doesn't matter a jot.
Max Graham is the manager and creative inspiration of the bar. He also happens to be the son of winemaker and founder of Churchill's, the first British Port wine company to have been established in over 50 years, John Graham. This is Max's way of dusting off the stuffy image of port and making it fresh, modern and relevant to a new audience but at the same time managing not to scare away the traditionalists. And it works.
If you're in or around Soho in the next few weeks, check it out – it'll convince you that port is for every day not just for Christmas.
Churchill's Port House, 26 Greek Street, London W1D 5DE, www.churchills-porthouse.com. Open for lunch and dinner Thursday to Saturday until 2nd February 2014.
The Cocktail Lovers say…
We recommend trying one of the Port Flights – a wonderful journey of tastes and great value at £15 for three full-sized glasses. And if you want to find out more about port, sign up for one of the regular tastings led by John Graham.
See www.churchills-porthouse.com for details.

Dear David Inman: I'm looking for the name of a TV movie that I think starred Richard Thomas. It was about a young mentally challenged girl who was kept locked in the woodshed by her abusing father. Can you tell me the title and if it's on DVD? - L.C., Louisville
Dear L.C.: Sounds like "Wildflower," a 1991 TV movie. Thomas wasn't in the cast, but Beau Bridges was. And Patricia Arquette and a young Reese Witherspoon. And the director was Diane Keaton. And it's on DVD or Amazon instant video.

I've had an LB 2.0 for a good while and admittedly have not used it much with my 5D, but have added a Panasonic G1 and while I use it a good deal with legacy MF lenses, believe that the LB may be fun with it (has great MF assist). I'm curious about others using the LB with the 4/3rds sensor (Oly or Panny)--since it will be basically a 100mm FOV--starting with something like an f/4.0 aperture (none in LB 2.0).
I have an EOS to m4/3rds adaptor on the way so will use my EF mount LB--but if I find I really enjoy it, may buy a Composer in 4/3rds mount (would use with 4/3rds to m4/3rds adapator as I do several other lenses).

style="COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 11px;">Birds Without Wings - by David Gray ----------------------------------- from the album A Century Ends (Caroline Records, 1993) Transcribed by Tower Kountze
David Gray is an incredible songwriter with a great voice. He has three CDs out, but for some reason no one knows him. I would love to see more of his work transcribed here, especially his more difficult stuff.
It's basically C and G with a slight variation on G (G*), and an A thrown in toward the end. (note: G* is just G played with your finger taken off the A string)
The Cords are C, G, G*, except for one part shown below, where an A is thrown in when "birds without wings" is repeated
Wishing that something would happen a change in this place 'cause I'm tearing off the fancy wrapping find an empty package
Take for a while your trumpet from your lip loosen your hold, loosen your grip on your old ways that have fallen out of step in a changing time hoist a new flag hoist a new flag
Angry sun burn down judging us all guilty of neglect and disrespect and thinking small And death by boredom and death by greed if we can't stop taking more than we need

'DEVIL CAR, DEVIL CAR!' That's what my two- and three-year-old kids started chanting when the Mercedes-Benz C63 Black Series rolled onto the driveway, gargling 95 octane and coughing hellfire through its incongruous AMG exhaust tips. You can see why, with its blood red paintwork and those gratuitously flared wheelarches – the fronts so massive they meld into the clamshell bonnet. Inflated air dams and indented nostrils on the over-muscled bonnet are further clues to the violence that lurks beneath its skin. And one other important dimension: the ground-shaking sound effects. Even at walking pace, the fettled AMG 6.2- litre V8 sounds feral, like a wound up tiger cruising for a fight. But more on that later… The zeitgeist calls for smaller engines, turbochargers and other efficiencies – policies the AMG skunkworks simply does not entertain. As a result, the C63 Black Series is inappropriate and makes absolutely no sense. Predictably, I like it very much.
I can't recall driving another street car that has oozed this much DTM Touring Car presence and I imagine it would have been even closer on target had our Black been equipped with the aerodynamics package, an R80000 extra. The kit includes a fixed wing and several carbon fibre canards … you know, in case it looks too plain. It really doesn't need them, certainly not the splitters at the front because as it is now, it's nigh-on perfect. Tough and lean – indeed, trimming the fat is what sets it apart from the regular C63, as well as the obligatory output hike – now 380kW and 620Nm of torque. Performance cues abound, such as the meshed vents and gills recessed into the fenders and panels and the titanium grey alloy rims – measuring 19 inches across – hide in each massive 'arch. Sheesh, that's some aggressive stuff! If anything, the C63 Black reminds me of the very special 2004 Mercedes CLK DTM – I'm almost brave enough to call this its successor, except that car is still superior with its 428kW and 800Nm, although both manage to cover the quarter-mile in 12 seconds. Arguably, the Black looks better.
Some more fat has been trimmed in the dark Mercedes cabin – not much mind you, but I do find myself adjusting the driver's cosseting bucket seat via manual rails as opposed to a heavier motorised system. There are no knobs for the suspension settings either as the Black Series is set permanently to 'bad ass' hard. Every other luxury item lives here, so it's not exactly stripped out – but do you really want an unforgiving Mercedes with a R1.5 million sticker price? Ergonomics are familiar – this is still a C-Class after all – but it's well finished and racy enough with Alcantara detailing to keep you focused on the task at hand – butt-clenching speed.
The glorious sound, those menacing looks, the impressive performance data – nothing ever really prepares you for the gut-wrenching chaos a modern day AMG product unleashes when you drop the proverbial clutch. There's no dual-clutch automated manual trickery here, just a clever seven-speed auto AMG's nerds call the Speedshift MCT. It's loaded with four modes and a double-declutching functionality for rapid downshifts. The transmission's crown jewel is something called Race Start – you'll know it better as launch control – that symbiotic relationship between the Continental tyres and the AMG's computer brain where they mutually agree on how quickly they'll let you penetrate the horizon against a total loss of traction. Because that's what you do when you're sitting in a throbbing red rocket, you launch the damned thing! Nervously, I thumb the dial into Sport+, select Drive, flatten the brake and throttle, then wait until the revs climb in pitch from malicious to something around murderous, which is found a ball-hair below 4000rpm. Mercedes claims a 4.2-second 0-100km/h sprint but we pip that with 4.15 seconds amid a flurry of V8 noise, deep and offbeat like a thunderstorm rendered in staccato. It will eventually max out at an electronically limited 300kph, or so I'm told.
Those bulging 'arches are not just for scaring rivals from Ingolstadt and Munich – oh no. They are, in fact, a necessary body enhancement required to accommodate a much widened track – 40mm in front, 79mm at the rear – giving the Black Series a much squarer stance than a bog-standard C63. You think that would quell a loose back-end and instead supply life-preserving grip – you'd expect the same from the ContiSportContact 5P rubber and the three-stage ESP systems, but 620Nm has a way of overriding them all.
No, the Black is not a rental, then – this is the devil's drift car. Its firm, coil-over suspension brings the body closer to terra firma, and the steering feels fantastic – direct, brimming with feedback, allowing me to exploit the twisted tarmac of the Franschhoek Pass. I miss the granular feel of the BMW M3s helm, especially the one on the Frozen Edition – which is the closest thing the Black Series has to a rival – also the steering feels a touch too light during these mountain pass wrestling manoeuvres, but that is just my personal preference. Most impressive is how it hides its 1710kg kerb weight when changing direction with minimal transition to rock your cabin and upset your bowels. With Sport+ engaged, the cogs are swopped intuitively – I seldom feel the need to intervene.
On the track, our test driver did prefer the manual paddles as the auto's shift points were at odds with Killarney's corners. Overall, the big shouty Black Series intimidates more than it connects with you, so I struggle to get entirely comfortable at pace.
At R1425000 (sans options – and there are many) the C63 Black Series is a very expensive C-Class. It shrugs off its humble D-segment origins convincingly, instead taking on the identity of something much more bespoke – a properly special performance car and premium noise maker. It's not perfect though. That firm suspension will break your back on a long journey and don't you dare drink anything larger than a thimble of fluids before commencing one – trust me, I speak from experience. The turning circle can be summed up in one word, useless, requiring a melee of fore-and-aft corrections in confined spaces, a real mission considering the aggressive (and expensive-looking) front bumper is bereft of any park distance control assistance. Still, I love that noise and those intoxicating looks, and if the devil is truly in the details then the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series is as wickedly good as it gets. Just don't try to tame it

They are only 30 miles apart on the map, but Manitowoc and Sheboygan counties are separated by a much wider gap when it comes to the health of its citizens, according to the 10th annual County Health Rankings released last week by the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Sheboygan County residents are among the healthiest in the state, according to the survey. Manitowoc County, on the other hand, ranks in the lower half in many important categories, including smoking, drinking and unhealthy food choices.
It is a strange phenomenon because people in both counties have similar lifestyles and interests. To be fair, the results are based on more than 30 factors that range from levels of physical inactivity to percentages of children living in single parent households.
There is little doubt that Manitowoc County residents must devote more attention to health. A number of studies have consistently shown that we drink too much, smoke too much and often eat too many foods that lead to obesity.
It is not all gloom and doom, however. Manitowoc County ranks in the top half of Wisconsin's 72 counties for health factors (24), clinical care (15), social and economic factors (31) and physical environment (22).
Sheboygan County ranks in the top half for health outcomes, health factors, health behaviors, clinical care, social and economic factors, and physical environment.
The local health department partners with Healthiest Manitowoc County to focus awareness on improving health through changing behaviors such as reducing tobacco and alcohol addiction, choosing healthier foods and increasing physical activity, according to James Blaha, Manitowoc County health officer.
It will take concerted effort to change behaviors that are ingrained in the local culture. Binge drinking by people of all ages in Manitowoc County is one of the red flags in wide-ranging health surveys, along with a higher than normal percentage of people who smoke. Drinking and driving also is a pronounced problem that can have obvious health dangers.
Health leaders in Manitowoc and Sheboygan counties continue to work hard to improve health outcomes. They both realize that, no matter what surveys indicate, the job of advocating healthy behavior is never done. It is a constant individual and communal battle that must be fought with information, action and perseverance.
Studies do provide valuable insight, however.
"Planning for the future with sound information is important if we are to continue making this a healthier place to live and raise families," according to Dale Hippensteel, Sheboygan County public health division manager.
We urge people to pay attention to the health warnings these studies engender, and make changes that will be beneficial for themselves and the collective good of the community.

Self-Storage Talk Changes Leadership as JCarlisle Moves On, TonyISS Moves InIn true "inverted pyramid" journalism style, I'll get right to the point: I'm moving on from my role as Self-Storage Talk community manager to attend graduate school full-time. It's a hard decision, but it's time for me to dive into something new. The good news is I'm passing the torch to someone whom I'm confident will be a tremendous forum leader.
Habla Self-Storage? Industry Operators and Vendors Go BilingualOver the past several weeks, several self-storage companies—some facility operators and some vendors—have launched Spanish versions of their U.S.-based websites. It's not surprising. Spanish speakers represent significant buying power, and self-storage operators want to tap this burgeoning consumer segment. Here are some things you should know.
Stanford MBA Student Offers Self-Storage Operators 'Creative Juice'Ever feel like your self-storage operation could use a jolt of energy and new ideas, but you can't afford to bring on a new employee? If you're a self-storage vendor, do you ever feel like your company needs some new approaches for developing industry solutions? If so, you know how valuable it is when a smart, enterprising student wants to work for you for free. Such a student has emerged on Self-Storage Talk (SST), the industry's largest online community.
Self-Storage, Slasher Films and ParaskevidekatriaphobiaDid you awake this morning with a sense of foreboding? Have you imagined yourself unlucky today? Paraskevidekatriaphobia is a morbid and irrational fear of Friday the 13th. Superstitions surrounding this day have mixed origins and are a fairly modern construct. But in light of the popular slasher-film series the notion inspired, I thought it an appropriate day to share details about an intriguing new self-storage horror film in the works.
Self-Storage Pros Chat About Lobbying, State Associations on Industry ForumIn states throughout the union, there has been a concerted effort (often orchestrated by the national Self Storage Assocation) to try to reform and update laws that affect the self-storage industry. The goal is to get lawmakers to enact policy that is cost-effective for facility operators and simply more sensible all around. The effort particularly focuses on lien statutes, additional sales taxes on self-storage and state-run operations. For example, here are a few of the key questions that drive the policy effort.
Self-Storage Talk Makes an Upgrade, a Few ChangesEverytime Facebook makes changes, the public outcry is always notable: "Oh, I hate the new layout!" "I don't know where any of my settings are now!" Though Self-Storage Talk (SST) is not at all near the scale of Facebook, it is the largest online community in the industry, and last Thursday, it got a much-needed software update, which has also resulted in a few changes as to usability. To avoid a public outcry among our more than 5,2000 members, I'll try to explain a few of the most obvious changes. You might want to open www.selfstoragetalk.com and follow along on the home page as you read.
New Ideas for Creating a Luxury Self-Storage Experience (at a Premium, of Course)Consumers absolutely love it with they can fulfill multiple needs through a single business outlet, particularly when some of those products and services come as a pleasant surprise. What could you add to your operation with reasonable effort that would create demand for your specific self-storage facility and make customers excited about storing with you? I'm not talking boxes and tape or climate control here. To "wow" customers, let's explore creative and even unusual possibilities.

Instead of tracking the food I eat AFTER I eat it, I plan out my meals a week in advance. I take an hour, take stock of what I have in my pantry, and search through SparkRecipes and other recipe sites that offer nutrition facts, finding recipes that look good.Then, I plan out where those meals will fit into each day, arranging and rearranging until I get the right combo of nutrients for each day. Finally, I shop based on a list, cook ahead of time, and look forward to eating again!
Use the SP nutrition planner / tracker to recaluculate your BMI and calorie requirements. Change your meals around, larger meal at lunch, with a light meal in the evening. Don't waste calories on drinks, take water. Make chunky veg soups, a tastey meal in a bowl very filling, with few calories.
Cut potatoes like fries,cook 5 min cover w/ water on high in microwave,drain,dry,spray pan with Pam,lay fries in single layer,spray with Pam,cover pan,bake 20min @ 450, uncover,bake 20 min more,can be seasoned before baking or sprayed with vinegar when served
I use the meal planner to develop weekly dinner meals, add them to the food tracker and then use the grocery list for shopping. Budget food and dollars.

Zendesk hacked: data from Tumblr, Twitter, Pinterest stolen
updated 11:27 pm EST, Thu February 21, 2013
User emails, subject lines, and email headers potentially downloaded
In a post on its blog, customer support outsourcing firm Zendesk has reported that a hacker had penetrated its systems, and had purloined data from its customers, including Tumblr, Twitter, and Pinterest. Zendesk officials believe that the attacker was able to download email addresses and subject lines from support mails sent to its clients.
In an email sent to its clients, Tumblr says that emails sent to its support, abuse, DMCA, legal, enquiries, and law enforcement mail boxes were vulnerable to data loss. Tumblr wants that some emails may have included the name of a user's website, giving the attacker the capability to pair email addresses with the websites, and any other sensitive information included in the email header.
Tumblr writes in its email that "we're working with law enforcement and Zendesk to better understand this attack. Please monitor your email and Tumblr accounts for suspicious behavior, and notify us immediately if you have any concerns." Similar emails have been sent from Twitter and Pinterest informing users of the breach.
The Zendesk blog post notes that the company is working with law enforcement to determine the perpetrator of the attack. The post claims that "we are also completely committed to working with authorities to bring anyone involved to justice and make certain we fully understand what happened. As this process unfolds, we aim to update our customers in as transparent and timely a manner as possible about new developments."

Land your place in charity runway run
East Midlands Airport will be hosting a unique charity event on Sunday 9th October, where 300 participants will run 10 kilometres on the airport's runway at 3am and this is your chance to enter.
This extraordinary event, organised by a team of employees from the airport, is part of The Prince's Trust Million Makers challenge, where the East Midlands Airport team, along with other teams across the UK will aim to raise Ż1million for the youth charity.
The Prince's Trust helps more than 4,000 disadvantaged young people across the East Midlands each year, giving them the skills and confidence to find a job. More than three in four young people on Prince's Trust courses move into work, education or training.
The East Midlands Airport team will aim to turn an initial seed funding of Ż1,500 into a profit of Ż10,000 over 6 months by running their own mini-enterprise.
Keen runners or those who fancy doing something a little different for charity are being asked to register their interest by 19th September 2011. With only 300 places available, runners will be selected at random to take part in this once in a lifetime opportunity.
Anna Thomson, Community Relations Manager and Team Leader said: "Being part of The Prince's Trust Million Makers challenge gives us the chance to be able to raise a significant amount of money to help young people.
"East Midlands Airport's commitment to charities, young people and local groups from across the region is long-standing and something that is embedded within the organisation.
"Our challenge by The Prince's Trust gives us the opportunity to make a difference right across the UK and it's great to know that the whole workforce is behind us."
John O'Reilly, East Midlands Regional Director at The Prince's Trust said: "Nationally, we need Ż1 million a week to help vulnerable young people turn their lives around.
"The support of organisations like East Midlands Airport is instrumental to achieving this target and ensuring the ongoing success of our programme delivery in the East Midlands."
Applications should be made via www.eastmidlandsairport.com/300@3 and successful applicants will be required to raise a minimum of Ż100 to enter the race.

Yesterday, approximately 5 million southern Californians living near the San Andreas Fault participated in an emergency preparedness drill called The Great Southern California ShakeOut. For these ready residents, an earthquake isn't a matter of if but when.
The ShakeOut scenario was based on a 7.8-magnitude earthquake along the San Andreas Fault, which experts say could cause nearly 2,000 deaths and $200 billion in damage.
Along with their sponsors, ShakeOut.org made some great PSAs to help encourage people to participate in the big day.
Some were eerie:
Some were informative:
And some were just hilarious:
In the 21st century, it seems as if the next natural disaster is continually just around the corner. Be it an earthquake, hurricane, flood or tornado, knowing what to do in case of a disaster is more than just wise, it's essential.

Aggies face tough stretch
Logan •Â Taken in all at once, it can be seen for the gauntlet it is.
At Boise State. At UNLV. Back home for San Diego State and New Mexico.
The Utah State basketball team is standing on the precipice of its toughest games stacked back to back. Coach Stew Morrill is as aware of how daunting it will be to face the four teams voted at the top of the conference preseason in a row, so he's trying to keep his players focused on the game ahead.
"It's about as tough a stretch as you're gonna get," he said. "What we need to do is worry about Boise State, and then worry about the next one after that. You worry about them as a whole group, you get a little overwhelmed at what you have to do."
The Aggies (12-4, 2-2) have been overwhelmed already this season on the road, with losses to Air Force and Nevada to start conference play. Those unexpected defeats have shaken them into the realization that the Mountain West will be no cake walk.
With the Broncos (12-5, 2-2) dead ahead, Utah State begins a true walk through the fire. Boise State returns five starters from its NCAA tournament squad last season, and they can put up points in a hurry.
"They're drivers, so we're going to have to stop them from driving," freshman forward Jalen Moore said. "We're going to just try to do what we can to get to their shooters, because they have a lot of guys who can shoot threes. Our post guys are going to have to get used to guarding outside, because a lot of guys can shoot."
Although Utah State returned plenty of veteran talent itself, its effort has been a question mark at times this season.
More than once, Morrill called out his team's intensity - or lack thereof - on defense. Seniors said practice wasn't as consistently buzzing as it needed to be.
Those shortcomings, the team says, were reflected particularly in the team's last loss to Nevada, when Utah State couldn't nail a shot to save itself. After the 62-54 defeat, a shocked locker room was forced to look hard in the mirror and see that the team wasn't doing enough to compete in the league.
"I think that was kind of a stunner," Morrill said. "We knew we were a little bit deadbeat, but they practiced well and with a lot of energy and carried that [into the Colorado State game]."
At least in the short-term, there has been a positive turnaround. Defense helped the Aggies overcome a slow start Wednesday until they found their footing against the Rams. Passing and 3-point shooting continues to be among the group's best strengths, while the Aggies have masked their weaknesses - turnovers and guarding penetration - with effort.
Will it be enough to compete with the Mountain West's elite teams? These next two weeks will tell if Utah State can hang, or if there's a true talent gap between the newcomers and the Aztecs, Lobos and other top squads.
Ahead of the most challenging games it will face, the Aggies still think they have what it takes - as long as they work to their potential.
"Coach Morrill does a good job of stressing that to us," senior guard Preston Medlin said. "We need to play hard every day, we need to play hard every game. It's a tough league, and anybody can beat anybody. So we just gotta keep fighting, keep playing hard every game."

Houston, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Jeremy Maclin racked up 158 yards and a pair of touchdowns on six receptions, as the Philadelphia Eagles gutted out a 31-21 decision over the Houston Texans on Sunday despite losing starting quarterback Nick Foles.
"When I went down (with a torn ACL), I told myself to do whatever I can to come back better than before. I'm going to work to get better every day," Maclin stated after becoming the first receiver in franchise history to record back-to-back 150-plus receiving and two-plus TD contests in one season.
Foles began the game completing 10-of-13 passes for 124 yards with one score and a pick before leaving due to an apparent shoulder injury after one quarter.
Mark Sanchez ended up 15-of-22 for 202 yards, two TDs and two interceptions for the Eagles (6-2), who shook off a loss last week in Arizona and ascended to the top of the NFC East after Dallas lost at home to the Cardinals.
LeSean McCoy contributed 117 yards on 23 carries, while Chris Polk added a touchdown run and Jordan Matthews posted a TD reception for the visitors.
Ryan Fitzpatrick finished with 203 yards and an interception on 13-of-27 passing, but threw TD strikes to DeAndre Hopkins and Arian Foster for the Texans (4-5), who fell to 0-4 all-time against Philadelphia.
"It's not a good loss, we made a lot of mistakes. We have to correct this stuff because we're certainly not out of anything," said Texans head coach Bill O'Brien. "We have a disappointed locker room, but we have a lot of games left. Seven games is a lot of games."
Hopkins totaled 115 yards on six catches, with Foster adding 56 yards on 15 carries and 63 yards on a pair of receptions in defeat.
Jumal Rolle picked off Sanchez late in the third quarter, and the Texans gained control on the Eagles' 38-yard line. On 2nd-and-7 from the 10 early in the fourth, Eagles linebacker DeMeco Ryans stepped in front of a Fitzpatrick pass but fumbled while falling, and Hopkins recovered on the 7-yard line.
Ryans left the game on a cart with a suspected right ankle injury and two plays later, Hopkins recorded a 7-yard score to pull the Texans within 24-21.
Following the contest, Ryans was reported to have suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon injury.
"He's our leader, our Mufasa. when a warrior goes down, you pick up a shield and play in honor of him," said Eagles head coach Chip Kelly.
The Eagles began on their own 20, and methodically moved into the red zone -- with the biggest play a 21-yard Maclin reception to midfield. Later in the drive, Polk's short run to convert a 4th-and-1 from the Houston 4 inside of four minutes remaining was upheld by review. Following a false start penalty on the next snap, Sanchez hit Maclin from eight yards away and a 31-21 contest.
Houston reached its own 45 on the next series, but a Fitzpatrick pass to Hopkins on 4th-and-5 fell incomplete. Polk picked up a first down on 3rd-and-1 from the Texans' 36 and Sanchez took a knee twice to run out the remaining time.
After going three-and-out on their first possession, the Eagles capitalized on their second chance. They moved 88 yards in seven plays -- with 59 of those coming as Foles aired it out over the middle where a waiting Maclin hauled it in for the game's opening score.
Foles gave it back on the first play of the Eagles' next touch, making a back- foot throw over the middle that was picked off by A.J. Bouye and he weaved his way in the opposite direction for a 51-yard return TD.
Foles was felled on a sack by Whitney Mercilus on the last play of the first, then Sanchez completed a 52-yard pass to Maclin on his first play under center. Five snaps later, his 11-yard pass to Matthews gave the visitors a 14-7 edge.
"It felt good to get back out there, get hit a little bit. Really proud of the team on rallying and great job in all three phases," noted Sanchez, who hadn't played since Dec. 30, 2012 for the Jets.
Sanchez was picked off by Rolle in Texans territory to end Philly's next drive, and five plays later Fitzpatrick and Foster teamed up for a 56-yard strike up the right sideline to draw even.
Late in the half, McCoy converted a 4th-and-1 from the Houston 26 and Cody Parkey kicked a 45-yard field goal for 17-14 game at halftime.
Despite Hopkins' 45-yard rumble to the Philly 21 in the latter stages of the third quarter, Randy Bullock pulled a 39-yard try wide left with just over four minutes to play. Taking over at the hosts' 30, Philadelphia needed only four plays to go up 24-14 as Polk shot up the middle for an 8-yard rushing TD.
Maclin's 158 yards marked his second-most this season, behind his 187 from
last Sunday's loss to the Cardinals ... The Eagles improved to 10-0 against
teams based in Houston, having gone 6-0 against the Oilers before the
franchise moved to Tennessee in 1997 ... Texans cornerback Johnathan Joseph
left the game in the first quarter and did not return due to a concussion ...
Eagles center Jason Kelce returned to action for the first time since
suffering a sports hernia on Sept. 21 vs. Washington ... Houston punter Shane
Lechler played in his 199th consecutive game, the longest active streak in the
NFL ... With Joseph out and linebackers Jadeveon Clowney and Brian Cushing
inactive, Philadelphia racked up 30 first downs and 483 yards of total offense
while converting 9-of-16 third-down opportunities.

UNDATED (CNN) - It wasn't a costumed performer a woman saw walking on power lines, but a raccoon. Feast your eyes on the sight of a wild raccoon upright, walking a tightrope.
Usually you see them in your garbage, but when Mavis Knight looked out her kitchen window and saw what this raccoon was doing. She thought, "My eyes were playing funny with me. I actually rubbed my eyes like this and looked out again."
There, outside her Toronto home, she saw a raccoon upright, using utility wires as a tightrope.
She figured her husband might not believe her story so she took out her phone to document it. it was going from the tree in Mavis' yard to trees a football field or so away.
Now sure you can see plenty of trained animals walk a tightrope on YouTube, like Rodney the Rat. It took nine months of training for OzzyDog to do it. And a circus can teach a goat to walk a rope with a monkey on its back. But a wild raccoon?
In honor of its daring hijinks, one YouTuber added James Bond music, but it was less 007, more Flying Wallenda. You know, Nik Wallenda, the daredevil who crossed Niagara Falls last summer on a high wire.
The trip took Flying Wallenda 25 minutes, but it took flying raccoon-a one minute. Flying Wallenda held a balancing pole while flying raccoon-a clutched a second wire.
Flying Wallenda was required to wear a safety harness, no harness for flying raccoon-a.
When Flying Wallenda made it to the other side, he pumped a fist and blew a kiss, but we swoon for the no drama raccoon.

Happy Graduation!!!
It's that time of the year again…graduation. This year is a little bittersweet for me because it's the first time I am not part of my preschool's graduation I haven't regretted my decision to leave the school, mind you, but days like this, I do miss it. I saw the pictures my old co-teachers posted on Facebook and that made me miss it even more! I remembered how on my last year, just before graduation, we had a "What do you want to be when you grow up" photo shoot and my kids were dressed in the cutest outfits! There were those who came in nurses uniforms while some came with a doctor's lab coat, some had basketball players jerseys on and one even came as a mad scientist! So cute.
This year the school's theme was Hawaiian and I'm sure it was super cute!! There were a few kids I still knew in the program and it's nice to see how much they've grown. I hope I'm able to keep tabs on them in the future.

Little Green Steps
One of my goals this year, not just as a teacher, but as a human being in general, is to go green. I want to be able to make a contribution in whatever small way to saving the earth. After all, I have contributed in my own way many times to the detriment of our environment, right? So I guess it's time I tried to redeem myself. One thing I have made a point to do as a teacher is to have my students submit homework either via email or printed in recycled paper. When we have pop quizzes and in my daily attendance questions, I use small pieces of old paper. As a shopper, I try to bring reusable bags more consistently. As an emerging vegetarian (I have just recently shifted to this lifestyle), I am thinking of getting myself one of those composters from CompostBins.com so I can reduce my wastes as well.
Whatever it is, I have come to the realization that every little step counts. What inspired me to think that way? Something my student said…

What's Your Bright Idea? Spark Change with Unilab's Ideas Positive Competition
One of the modules I love teaching best in my PERSEF class is the one on community development and advocacy. In this module, I ask my students to identify a social problem in their community that concerns or affects them. Even though this is only a class project for them, it amazes me to see how brilliant their ideas can get. However, that's all it remains to be…an idea.
Enter the Unilab Ideas Positive competition.
Now on it's third year, the Unilab Ideas Positive competition gives college students all across the country to spark change with one idea. Because they believe in the youth's ideas and capacity to make a positive change in their community, the Unilab Foundation is offering 15 teams a total of Php 1.5 M as seed money in order to make their health and wellness ideas for their communities a reality. They will also provide these students with a a 3-day social marketing boot camp, where they learn and understand social marketing approaches from a pool of experts using current and relevant social marketing practices and case studies in order for their ideas to come into full fruition.
As mentioned, this is the third year of this project and this time, they are moving out of Metro Manila and opening the competition to the entire Philippines. As such, more college students can participate and more communities can benefit.
To be part of this project and for more information about the program, log on to www.unilabideaspositive.com.Read More

Switching Gears
Over the past year I have fallen madly, deeply in love with the practice of yoga. So much so I am kinda thinking that maybe soon that's what I want to teach instead. It still is teaching after all, right??? Let's see where it goes. It's funny how the practice has changed so many aspects in my life, and even my dreams. Not too long ago I was contemplating going back to teaching preschool again, or perhaps putting one up for myself to the point that I was Googling and checking out sites for supplies, classroom decorations and equipment. However, with this new realization that maybe I want to teach yoga instead, I've been looking for teacher training sites and looking at different studio designs.
Gaaaah…am I quarter life crisis-ing again???? Or worse…am I midlifing??? EgaaadRead More

Summer Lovin'!
It's just about that time of the year again Yey! I suddenly miss the busy-ness of preparing for moving up day and planning for the summer programs in school. I remember having to draft out lists of to-do's and what-to-pack's for the summer fun classes we used to have. I miss having to clean out the backpacks for hiking, inflatable pools for swimming, and sand toys for "beach play".
Now that I'm in the "adult" world, my summer will be filled with research. Boo. I sooo miss summer lovin'.Read More

Music and Movement in Kids Curriculum
One of my fondest memories of preschool teaching was when one of my little kids handed me a CD for circle time. She proudly came in to the classroom waving it in the air saying, "Teacher, Teacher, for you!". After I thanked her, she says "teacher, please play it during circle time because when you sing, it's not nice eh!" . OUCH! Haha. While that little incident did make me stop and think about including music and movement in my curriculum, I did not let it deter me from doing so. I realized that the incorporation of music and movement activities in class DOES have a lot of advantages for the kids.
Incorporating music and movement at whatever grade is important. For early childhood classes, introducing simple instruments can be explored. In fact, making such simple instruments can be included in arts activities. For older kids, more complex instruments can be introduced and for advanced learners, they can even explore the mechanics of such instruments. For example, they can learn about how to change guitar strings, replace drum skins and the like. They can also look into the wiring system of electronic musical instruments and use a seymour duncan jb in order to experiment on how adjusting guitar strings can bring a better balance to the sounds the instrument produces. From there they learn more than just music, but even elements of electronics, engineering and mechanics.
Overall, much as I am not very musically inclined, I do see the value of making music a part of everyday learning.Read More

Bid for A Greener Future with WWF
It has been quite a long time since I got myself involved in an advocacy project and so when I was invited to participate in a project that The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) was doing in celebration of its 50 years of conservation, I immediately jumped at the opportunity.
What really motivated me to say yes to this project was Joe, the dog I adopted last year. Raising him made me realize that while he and his brother, Bubba, are quite lucky they live in a home, are fed and are safe, many other animals are not. Not only that, the places that these animals make their homes in are not protected either, all because of what we call "modernization". And so I decided that my project this year will be on going green in whatever small way I can.
However, while individual efforts at going green, such as taking steps to choose earth friendly products, recycle, and so on and so forth, are important, we can also be part of a bigger solution by teaming up with organizations that can put together individual efforts into collective action. One such organization is the WWF.
In celebration of its 50th year, the World Wildlife Fund invites us all to bid for a greener future with an online fundraising auction, GREENER AT 50, via Ebay Philippines. Proceeds of the project will benefit the WWF-Philippines' environmental sustainability projects. Up for grabs in the online auction are limited edition items from celebrities, such as a signed pair of pointe shoes by prima ballerina, Lisa Macuja-Elizalde, and other memorabilia from celebrities and personalities including the Philippine Volcanoes Team, Pat Dy, Sara Black, Boy Abunda. You can also get the opportunity to immerse in exclusive WWF sites and discover nature from your own experience!
Check out www.ebay.ph/wwfgreenerat50 to view the items for auction and get ready to start bidding for a greener environment.
This year, let's all be part of the solution and bid for the future with WWF-Philippines.

Don't think twice to learn English
It is easy to discover why English is such an important language. Everyone should know how to speak this tongue, due to its worldwide impact. Let's analyze some facts about the English language.
English is the 4th most widely spoken native language worldwide. As to its number of speakers, it is the most spoken official language in the whole world. Also, it is the first choice when it comes to international affairs, which may be owed to the fact that it has official status even in countries where it isn't the main spoken language. In global trade and commerce, English is spoken as the default language as well.
Have you noticed that most of the Internet is in English too? It seems like the language rules the Digital world. Typically, English is the language of newest applications, programs and software in general. Everything is written in English before it is made available in other languages.
When it comes to Education, English has vital importance as well. In universities in Canada, the United States, Great Britain, New Zealand and Singapore, thousands of students come from foreign countries. However, the default language of instruction is…guess? Yes, it's English. When seeking to learn English Cairns students don't think twice. They know that this language will open many doors for them in the field of studies. Consider that the majority of the top business and medical schools and advanced-study institutes are situated in the United States and the United Kingdom.
It should come as no surprise that knowledge of English opens job and employment opportunities in many different countries and markets. While studying to learn English Sydney students are aware of how much brushing up their English will do for them. To get job opportunities it is of vital importance to be not only fluent, but also be able to switch the register from formal to informal in order to be able to adapt to any kind of situation in a proper manner.Read More

Teacher Made Materials: Why Bother?
Just before the Chinese New Year came in I decided to give cleaning my room another go. I was sorting through my files, discarding papers and throwing away old projects when I came across some of the teacher made materials I had made waaaaay back when I started teaching preschoolers. I found them at the very back of those plastic stackable storage cabinets that I love so much and I suddenly missed being a preschool teacher again.
Anyway, going back to those teacher made materials, it got me to thinking about all the time I spent making flashcards, bingo cards, etc etc. After all, they can be bought in the stores, right?
For me, as a teacher, even though the toys and educational materials were available in the stores, I still made little teacher made materials even to the end. Why did I bother? Mainly because I liked being able to modify materials for my kids the way the kids need them. This is not to say, however, that I don't use store-bought materials! I just realized that teacher made materials are really more individualized and activity specific.
I am grateful, however, that by the time I got to my eighth year or so of teaching I could afford the conveniences like a laminating machine and a ring binder. Before, I used to painstakingly use packing tape to wrap materials. QUE HORROR!!!Read More

Going With The Dress Code
After my last post, it occurred to me that perhaps even my college students need reminders on going with the dress code. In fact, even I, on occasion, need to be reminded. Especially with footwear! It's so much more comfortable to just go to school in flip flops rather than heels…especially now that I have discovered the joy of not squeezing my feet into those stilettos (haha). I remember that when I first started teaching, I'd wear not just heels, but formal business attire. Now I don't. I have only one or two colleagues left who really get all formal now (complete with the tie, tie clips and steel cufflinks). Perhaps I should start going more with the dress code and I can have my students follow suit. What do you think???Read More

In Modern Times, a Good Night's Sleep Struggles
New York (Apr 19, 2011)
Getting a good night's sleep is arguably the most important part of anybody's day. But for a growing number of people, normal nighttime rest is becoming more and more elusive. The NIH National Center on Sleep Disorders Research estimates that some 70 million Americans suffer from debilitating sleep disorders.
It is clear that our modern lifestyle has brought about sleep changes which are affecting the population as a whole. A century ago, most people rose with daylight, exerted themselves all day and crawled into bed when the sun went down or the candle burnt out. Then came electric light, which extended people's days and shortened sleep but left few ill effects.
Fast forward to the world of the last 50 years. Now the mechanics of sleep have been disrupted by a variety of distractions including radio, television, all-night cable, and internet connectivity. At the same time, many more of us are sedentary, with little physical activity to make us tired. This has all led to fewer hours of sleep and, over time, less ability to sleep. Less ability to sleep has led to sleep disorders, and sleep disorders have led to the emergence of sleep centers.
When someone's sleep patterns are persistently broken, the result is more than just "feeling a little tired," says Ana C. Krieger, M.D., the Medical Director of the Center for Sleep Medicine at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. "Lack of adequate sleep can lead to daytime drowsiness, memory problems, hyperactivity, sleepwalking, behavioral issues, and sudden sleep attacks."
Both medical and behavioral factors can contribute to disrupted sleep. Neurological disorders like insomnia (difficulty falling or staying asleep) and narcolepsy (a central nervous system disorder which causes extreme daytime sleepiness), psychological issues including depression, and serious conditions like sleep apnea (caused by airway obstructions that interrupt breathing) can all play a role. Restless leg syndrome (periodic limb movements during sleep) and brain abnormalities, including seizure activity, may also lead to abnormal sleep patterns.
Excess alcohol consumption, undue stress, and anxiety can also interfere with normal sleep. So can late night television or internet surfing, physical activity right before bedtime, and reading late into the night. If a person is elderly, inactivity and frequent daytime napping can make it difficult to sleep through the night. As Carl W. Bazil, M.D., Ph.D., the Director of the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center and Sleep Disorders Center at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center, puts it, "An inability to sleep brought on by poor nighttime routines is often a learned behavior – your body learns bad sleep habits against your will."
Sleep medicine is recognized as a medical sub-specialty by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Thousands of such centers now exist, with various levels of expertise and accreditation. NewYork-Presbyterian's two facilities, the Weill Cornell Center for Sleep Medicine and the Columbia University Sleep Disorders Center, are among the largest in the country. The Centers use a multidisciplinary approach: patients may be treated by specialists in neurology; internal medicine; pulmonary medicine; ear, nose and throat (ENT); pediatrics; psychiatry; psychology; bariatric surgery; nutrition; and endocrinology.
Diagnosis and treatment begin with a full assessment. Patients with a diagnosis of insomnia will be directed toward behavior modification therapy. In most other cases, the patient will be observed overnight for a sleep study, also called polysomnography (PSG), which is the most effective method of diagnosing sleep disorders and determining treatment. During a PSG, sleep specialists place several non-invasive electrodes on the skin and scalp and use sophisticated monitoring equipment to record changes in brain activity, respiration, oxygen levels, heart rhythm and muscle activity in the face, arms and legs during sleep.
Once the initial diagnosis is made, the patient will have a series of office visits. "This is a process," notes Dr. Krieger. "Treating a sleep disorder requires constant follow-up and feedback." Dr. Bazil concurs: "You can't force sleep – it's not like turning on a switch. Overcoming a sleep disorder requires a very motivated patient."
Fortunately, there are a variety of effective treatments for sleep disorders and most patients benefit from a sleep center consultation. For example, patients diagnosed with sleep apnea may be given a machine called a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure), that connects a small mask over the nose to air pumped from an attached machine. The air pressure keeps the upper airway and windpipe open during sleep. Some patients will find they actually need treatment for some other condition – like a mood disorder – that could be causing sleeplessness.
Other patients will simply need to adjust their habits. It could be as simple as turning off the television after the evening news, limiting nighttime emails and Facebook chats, and closing the shades. They may experiment with relaxation techniques or try a different sleeping position that facilitates better breathing or allows for more comfort.
"The body needs regular cycles of light and stimulus in order to function at its best," says Dr. Krieger. The job of sleep center specialists is to help patients regulate those cycles so they can enjoy what everyone deserves – a good night's rest.

POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Aug 5, 2010
Poor Donovan Dela Cruz. Slow cash flow has forced the term-limited City Council member to give up his bid for the deluxe suite at City Hall and try instead for the more affordable quarters of the state Senate.
With all the political comings and goings this year, Hawaii's professional candidates have checked out races like Goldilocks tested chairs -- this one's too big, that one's too small -- until finding one that's just right.
The seat Dela Cruz chose felt so good that at least four other professionals with well-known and/or notorious names wanted to nestle their behinds in it as well.
Hearing about Dela Cruz's decision, the first question that came to mind was, "What's he going to do about his campaign signs?"
The larger ones have his pleasantly smiling face, the smaller postings simply his name, but all say "mayor." Oops.
Too bad Dela Cruz didn't use the stuff Kirk Caldwell was crowing about the other day. With much fanfare, the substitute mayor who wants the job for real wiped and polished his own campaign signs. They were actually street and TheBus markers glazed with a substance so spray paint and felt-tip-pen ink wouldn't stick.
Thwarting vandals who get their kicks through bonehead behavior, with the added bonus of possibly saving taxpayer money? A great Hallmark moment. Better than a simpering "I approve this message" commercials and, as TV news coverage, cost free to boot.
Caldwell can expect that such gratis ads will fall off as broadcast minds more carefully differentiate between noteworthy city business and political acrobatics. Besides, effective as they may be, TV and radio exposures come and go in seconds.
To get their message out, the go-to medium for candidates is the banner, as many as they can buy, to join the bazillions that overlay the island from Kapolei to Kahuku, Kaaawa and Kaimuki.
Bob Loy, the nice, earnest Outdoor Circle guy, points out that signs this season are bigger, bolder and uglier -- and that's not because more of them include mugshots. It's the quantity.
Like in real estate, the key to sign-posting is location. Some fences in my neighborhood are so heavily covered the impatiens and dandelions are deprived of sun. Dogs can't see whom they're barking at.
I'm not complaining. It is, after all, free speech. I'm particularly delighted by the equal-opportunity, nonpartisan folks who let any candidate wire up a sign.
The argument against signs is that there are far more meaningful ways for candidates to acquaint themselves with voters. True. But if name recognition, as experts contend, is important, then hanging placards people can see while stuck in Kalanianaole traffic plays effortlessly, though as time passes they lose their oomph.
For the big boys whose worries aren't about recognition -- I mean you'd have to live in the Galapagos to be unaware of Duke, Dan, Neil and Mufi -- innumerable signs show the muscle and money they hope voters will respond to.
As for Dela Cruz, he is plenty known in his district. He may get away with just pasting "senate" over "mayor" and call it recycling "green." It could work as well as Caldwell's wet rags.
