Morgan says Cowboys now in race to get attack clicking
- From: Townsville Bulletin
- April 02, 2014
NORTH Queensland Cowboys fullback Michael Morgan concedes his team is racing against time to find its attacking spark.
The Cowboys are desperate to avoid last season's scenario where they scraped into finals football following a stuttering start.
But Monday night's error-riddled display on the Gold Coast did not bode well.
A dropped high ball from Morgan led to the Titans' opening try, but he was far from a lone culprit as the Cowboys coughed up 21 errors and were timid in attack.
"Things have got to start clicking for us, otherwise we're going to run out of time," he said.
"We have been working on our defence, but now it's our attack that's struggling.
"We've spoken about our preparation in attack and I think that is a massive thing for us at the moment, and we're all on the same page about what's going on in each set.
"We're not stupid — we know we have to be better."
Coach Paul Green has picked the same 17 players that lost to the Titans and also the Warriors in Round 3, with Morgan to retain his No. 1 shirt against the Newcastle Knights on Monday.
Green refused to even contemplate using the word "panic" after the Warriors' loss, but Morgan's words reveal that North Queensland's unfavourable run — which has stretched to three consecutive defeats — is getting serious.
Reeling from the devastating news that young forward Alex McKinnon could be a quadriplegic, the Cowboys are bracing for an emotionally charged Knights outfit.
Revealing that co-captain Johnathan Thurston's on-field spray after full-time came as a much-needed "kick in the guts", Morgan said the team's confidence was nevertheless intact.
"We haven't been good enough and that's why we've lost three in a row, but if we do start clicking and preparing better, we should start winning," he said.
"Personally I don't feel too bad, but things have just got to start clicking for us."
Assistant coach David Furner echoed Morgan's sentiments, saying Thurston's attacking partners need to step up.
"Most teams try to take out the playmaker, but we've certainly got strike there in other areas, which we've got to be more effective with," he said.
In other Cowboys news, Under-20s forward Viliame Kikau will miss two matches after yesterday pleading guilty to a grade two dangerous tackle.
Kikau, 18, was penalised in the 16th minute of Monday's 36-34 win against the Gold Coast Titans, and faced up to a three-game ban had he fought the charge.
His punishment comes days after McKinnon's horror diagnosis following a tackle gone wrong against Melbourne.
Kikau's suspension was a sour note in an otherwise memorable night for the young Cowboys, who overturned a 24-6 half-time deficit to score a matchwinning try through hooker Josh Chudleigh just four minutes from full-time.

OMG! Really people? You wanna blame the board for our sh*t performance? Where was the board @ on the field for the last 3 losses? NOWHERE! It is not the board or even Paul Green! It is Morgan, Feldt, Tate, Winterstein, JT (that's right, Mr. Wonderful himself), Lui, Scott, Kostjaysn, Tamou, Cooper, Sims (x 2), etc. They are the ones on the field & the ones who can't seem to get their sh*t together! Stop trying to blame people who aren't even there! Place the blame where it belongs...w/the players!

Positions 1, 7 and 9 - the key spine, and we do not have it. Compare this to the best teams -Slater, Cronk and Smith etc. The only coach who can pull this Cowboys team together and get them performing to potential is Wayne Bennett, and Lancini rejected him when he had the opportunity. Why is Lancini still there? Green, a rookie coach? Come on now, surely we could do better that that. Same old, same old!!
When will we win more than we lose? of Cowboy country Posted at 2:55 PM April 03, 2014
Neil henry was let go. The board chose rookie Paul green. They said he would take the club to where we want to be. Paul green has said we are not far off being where we want to be on the field. After witnessing the game against the titans all I can say is that unless the club wants to be poor on the field and down the bottom of the ladder, then we are a long way from where the club wants to be. Certainly from where the fans want the club to be. Twelve times in the clubs history we have started a season 1 from 4. So I say unless we are top 4 by origin the board MUST go. Unless we play in the grand final Paul green MUST go. Enough is enough

This unusual technique for deep-frying creates a dish of savoury salt cod, eggs and cauliflower balanced by sweet red pepper sauce.
4 x 75g/2¾oz pieces salt cod
1 small cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
1 litre/1¾ pints sunflower oil for deep-frying
50g/2oz plain flour, seasoned with black pepper
4 medium free-range eggs, hard-boiled, peeled and halved
2 medium free-range eggs, beaten
2 tbsp Spanish extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
1 pinch saffron
2 bay leaves
100ml/3½fl oz Spanish white wine
100ml/3½fl oz fresh chicken stock
2 roasted red peppers, skins removed and torn into strips
Place the salt cod into a very large bowl of cold water and soak for 24 hours, changing the water 3-4 times. Drain the salt cod, pat dry and set aside.
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Add the cauliflower and cook for about five minutes. Drain and place onto kitchen roll to dry.
Half-fill a deep, heavy-based saucepan with the oil and heat to 180C/350F. (CAUTION: Hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.)
Place the seasoned flour onto a large plate and roll the hard-boiled egg halves, cauliflower florets and salt cod pieces in the flour and then dip into the beaten eggs.
Cook the eggs, fish and cauliflower in batches in the hot oil for about four minutes, or until golden-brown and crisp. Carefully remove with a slotted spoon and set aside to drain on kitchen paper. Keep warm until ready to serve.
For the sauce, place the olive oil in a medium frying pan over a medium heat. When hot, add the onion and cook for two minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic, saffron and bay leaves and cook for a further minute.
Pour in the wine, allow to bubble for a minute, before adding the stock and the peppers. Continue to cook for a further few minutes, or until the volume of liquid has reduced and the sauce has a thicker consistency.
Toss the fried cauliflower, fish and egg in the sauce, divide between the plates and serve scattered with almonds and chopped parsley.
Type the ingredients you want to use, then click Go. For better results you can use quotation marks around phrases (e.g. "chicken breast"). Alternatively you can search by chef, programme, cuisine, diet, or dish (e.g. Lasagne).

Henry J Ford's illustrations from the Green/Blue/Yellow/etc,etc Fairy books edited by Andrew Lang.
Hope you enjoy! It's a horror/romance/black comedy (I daresay?), so heads up for some general unpleasantness.

Another fan art round-up:
Just a few things of fan art from here and there -- above was inspired by Becky Cloonan's amazing comic Wolves, which I received at TCAF and have been thinking about ever since. In addition to absolutely incredible art (Becky's inking kills me, it kills me), it has a story that really lingers with you. So well done! THE REST OF THIS: is video game fan art, of course. There's the Courier & Rex from Fallout: New Vegas, Beatrix from the same (in her work clothes), Elena Fisher from a moment in Uncharted 3, Elizabeth from a moment in Bioshock Infinite, and Tali from Mass Effect.
I also wanted to mention that Vol 1 of Josh Tierney's Spera comic will be being released by Archaia this September! I'll have 20 pages in the book (the illustration duties are being shared with some really fantastic artists, holy cats), and I'm really looking forward to seeing it all come together (and not just because I really like drawing Pira's funny little jacket).
ALSO: it's Sam Bosma's birthday! Happy birthday, Sam! If you're not familiar with his work, be prepared to love it right now (especially if you like ASOIAF related art, because ye gads, he's terrific with those characters).

A convoy of inspectors from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons prepares to cross into Syria at the Lebanese border crossing point of Masnaa, eastern Bekaa Valley, Lebanon, on Oct. 1, 2013. / Bilal Hussein, AP
UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The Security Council has authorized a joint mission from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and the United Nations to destroy Syria's chemical weapons - a necessary final step for the dangerous and unprecedented project.
The council president, Azerbaijan's U.N. Ambassador Agshin Mehdiyev, gave the authorization in a letter to the secretary-general Friday morning, obtained by The Associated Press.
The council also gave a green light to the proposal outlined by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in a letter to the council on Monday to establish a U.N.-OPCW mission, with approximately 100 staff, to carry out the destruction in three phases by mid-2014.
Earlier Friday, the OPCW was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts to destroy chemical weapons, including Syria's stockpiles of nerve gas.

Lulu's on Main has been a staple of the Western North Carolina culinary scene for decades, consistently delivering delicious and healthy alternatives in an area with an overabundance of barbecue and fast food restaurants.
Foodies, locals, summer residents and visitors to the mountains often travel from nearby towns to downtown Sylva just to enjoy the food and casual atmosphere in the dining room or outside on the patio. With its exotic dishes and largely vegetarian and vegan menu, Lulu's was even voted Southern Living magazine's "favorite restaurant in the region."
Under its new ownership, most of that remains the same. But these days the emphasis of Lulu's is a little less about being healthy, and all about being delicious.
Devin McCardle, the new co-owner and executive chef of Lulu's, plans to continue the same legacy that Lulu's has upheld over the years. He and his father, Mick McCardle, bought the restaurant with the intention of keeping all of the essential elements the same, but with an added dash of their own character and talents.
"We really don't plan on changing Lulu's much," said Devin McCardle. "We're just going to do it in our own way. The restaurant already has such a good reputation because the previous owners Kim [Anthony] and Laura [McBane] did such a good job with it."
Louise Turner originally established Lulu's on Main in 1989. Ten years later, in September 1999, she sold the restaurant to Anthony and McBane, who had been working there for some time. After 21 years the torch is passing to the McCardles, strangely enough, again in September.
The McCardles began operating Lulu's in earnest on Sept. 10, only a day after Devin unpacked the truck from their move to Dillsboro. While some changes have already been made to the restaurant, with more on the way, most people's favorite dishes will still be available.
"A lot of the menu will stay the same, but I've added some new variety, including hand-cut steaks and more meat entrees. And we're going to have dinner and dessert specials on a regular basis," said Chef Devin, taking out his cell phone and displaying some of the special dishes he's served up in recent weeks.
The entrees and desserts are plated beautifully, and extremely well photographed, looking like photos straight out of Food & Wine or Bon Appétit magazines. It's obvious that Devin not only knows how to prepare his dishes for consumption, but also for the most attractive presentation.
"He's into presentation, and the highest quality," said Mick, who is the primary spokesperson and business manager for the restaurant, drawing from his many years of experience in the hospitality industry. "But he doesn't really even consider it a job. He considers it as more of an art form."
Chef Devin is indeed an artist, but he's not at all the tortured, moody artist stereotype. "I love what I do," said Devin. "I really enjoy it, and I just want our customers to enjoy themselves and have a great experience." He believes in keeping Lulu's prices reasonable enough that the average person can enjoy his food. "I want everyone to be able to have a good meal at Lulu's, a meal they will remember and want to have again, for $10 or less," said Devin.
Mick says that while his son has high standards, he doesn't manage the restaurant or the kitchen with a heavy-handed, forceful attitude like some chefs.
"Devin doesn't have all kinds of rules and everything," explained Mick. "His thing is called 'like-mindedness.' I really like it. You know, within reason, we're all human and we all make mistakes, but we're on the same path and we're likeminded."
Mick says Devin is a kinder, gentler chef. In his career as general manager of several successful preeminent country clubs, Mick often experienced the other end of the spectrum. "I had a young chef who worked for me, very talented but who would yell at his staff, throw fits in the kitchen, totally the opposite of Devin. So one night I called him into the office and said to him, 'This is your first and last opportunity. I want you to understand this. This is something you don't understand: Talent is not a license to be an ahole.' They promote it on television, but it's not like that at all," said Mick, if you want to get the best results.
Devin consistently gets the best results, regarding both his staff and his cooking, said Mick. "He's just really good at it. He's been trained very, very well. And it's all he really ever wanted to do."
Mick tells the story of a young, fledgling Chef Devin, a story that unfolds like a classic traditional martial arts tale that could end with him grabbing a pebble from his master's hand.
"At one time I was the regional director of operations for a large company that managed country clubs and resorts," began Mick, "and I was in charge of all their properties east of the Mississippi River. So I was in charge of 37 different clubs, including some in North Carolina." Mick said he went to Bloomington Country Club in Bloomington, Ind. to improve the performance of the operation there.
"One of the first things I did was to hire a new chef, who at the time was the Executive Sous Chef at the Buckhead Diner in Atlanta," said Mick. "Devin was a young, 14-year-old that wanted a job, went to work in the kitchen and decided he was a chef. Mike, the new chef, decided he was a dishwasher," he laughed.
But, he explained, Devin's goal was to cook.
"So the chef told him 'When you're the best dishwasher I've ever had, then you can do something else.' So Devin washed dishes very diligently for six months, and then he became a prep cook," said Mick. "He was 15 by then. He did that for quite some time, until the chef thought he was really good at it, perhaps the best prep cook he'd ever had."
"By the time he was a senior in high school he was the Head Sous Chef for the men's grill, which was probably the busiest place to eat at the club," said Mick. "The reputation of the men's grill went from 'nobody would eat there,' to 'you couldn't get in to eat there,' it was so busy."
When it came time for Devin to graduate, there was no doubt what he wanted to do professionally. So his father supported his choice and he enrolled at the New England Culinary Institute in Montpelier, Vermont, one of the nation's most illustrious culinary schools, and successfully graduated to work as a chef in several well-renowned restaurants.
Looking back, Devin remembers his earliest experience in the kitchen fondly. "I'm still a really good dishwasher," said Devin.
As for the club?
"The entire country club was just a first-class operation by then," said Mick. He and his staff had implemented a complete turn-around in only three years.
It's results like these that the McCardles enjoy seeing in business. "People say you have to get 110 percent from your staff. But you can't take 110 percent from people," said Mick. "They have to be willing to give it to you. You have to create an environment where that works, and that's always been my goal as management."
Regular customers of Lulu's will notice that the staff hasn't changed much since the transition to new owners. "It's pretty much the exact same staff," said Mick. "We're fortunate to have a good mix of people. Most of the staff here are college students or post-grad, professional college students or whatever, but they like the atmosphere in Sylva. It's nice to work with them because we're starting with a good base," he said.
It's the same laid-back atmosphere that first drew Mick to Sylva while touring the area on his motorcycle six years ago. Mick rides as often as possible, and returned to Sylva to enjoy the "flavor" of the small town several times in the ensuing years.
Executive Chef and co-owner Devin McCardle, back row center, stands with his staff in the newly painted dining room. In making the transition, he chose to retain most of the experienced staff that worked at Lulu's under the former ownership.
Executive Chef Devin McCardle delights in providing balance and nuanced flavors in the classic French style he learned at the New England Culinary Institute in Montpelier, Vermont. Above is a 10 oz. ribeye steak grilled to perfection, crisp on the outside and delightfully tender and juicy inside, topped with sherried mushrooms served with a loaded baked potato and grilled asparagus. He and Devin hope to maintain the same quality in the restaurant. "One of the things that attracts people to Lulu's is the laidback, kicked back atmosphere," said Mick. "But unbeknownst to the guest, I also want to have an underlying sense of urgency, for the staff to acknowledge and welcome guests immediately and anticipate the needs of the customer."
It's a hard thing to pull off, he admits, to maintain the casual atmosphere the restaurant is known for, coupled with the "same desire to give excellent service" practiced in the hospitality industry. But there's no doubt he has the right formula. "People want great service, great food, they want consistency, and they want recognition," Mick said. "That's what we all want when we go out to eat."
In addition to applying their creativity to presenting food as art, the McCardles have been busy redesigning the interior of the restaurant as well. Devin's wife, Lindsey, has applied her degree in Fine Art to the task. In recent weeks she has resurfaced most of the tables with an antique appearance, doing away with the old, unnecessary table cloths, repainted the interior of the main dining room with the help of her husband and a handful of staffers, and dressed up the interior with several innovative décor items and artwork?all while caring for the couple's infant son, Max. For the recent Taste of Sylva, Lindsey carved five pumpkins lit with candles with the letters spelling Lulu's.
The McCardles plan to open up the bar section of the restaurant on Dec.1. In the meantime, Lindsey is working up ideas to use the space as much for an art gallery as a bar. The bar will offer beer, wine and mixed drinks, but there won't be any televisions or entertainment consoles, said Devin. Although it will be consistent with the restaurant's casual atmosphere, Lulu's will be the furthest thing from a sports bar. The restaurant is only serving beer and wine until the bar opens.
Chef Devin sees the new venture as a way to share his love of food and the finer points of dining with his customers, but he also delights in sharing his passion with his staff. He's taken steps to pass on his education and culinary experience by training one of the promising young workers that remained from the previous regime, Erica Sharrett, and giving her the position of Sous Chef.
You can bet when she is the best sous chef he's ever had, he'll take her to the next level. It's a lesson he learned early on, and a philosophy he and his father have applied to the restaurant. Master the status quo, and then take it to the next level.
Mick McCardle puts it simply.
"Our goal is to have the best food in North Carolina," he said.
Devin takes it even further. "We want to have the best service and the best food in the region. We want Lulu's to be a destination," he said, sharing his father's expectations. At this rate, it may not take long. And in the meantime, he and his family are having a lot of fun living up to them.
Lulu's on Main is open 11:30-8:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and Friday and Saturday until 9 p.m. The restaurant is located at 612 West Main Street in Sylva. For reservations or other inquiries, call (828)586-8989 or visit Lulu's on Main on Facebook.

Winning Pear & Hazelnut Pie Recipe
This is my very own recipe for my pear & hazelnut pie with hazelnut crust that earned first place in the pear pie category at the 7th Annual Gorge Grown Fruit Dessert Contest!
~Enjoy! Stephanie Halici, Customer Care
Pear Hazelnut Pie with Hazelnut Crust
6-7 Ripe Bartlett or Anjou Pears, peeled and sliced thin
¼ Cup lemon juice
½ Cup sugar
1 ½ Teaspoon cinnamon
½ Teaspoon nutmeg
3 Tablespoons corn starch
½ Cup Oregon Growers Diced Roasted Hazelnuts
½ Cup Oregon Growers Pear Hazelnut Fruit Spread
2 Tablespoons of butter, cubed
1 3/4 Cups Flour
½ Cup Oregon Growers Roasted Hazelnuts
¼ Powdered sugar
2 Sticks butter, kept cold and sliced
1/3 Cup ice water
For the crust, place roasted hazelnuts in a food processor and blend until finely ground. Add flour and powdered sugar and pulse until all mixed together. Distribute evenly the cold, sliced butter and pulse 6-8 times just until dough resembles a course meal, no not over mix. With the mixer running, add the cold water in a steady stream, the dough will form into a loose ball when dough is ready, about 30-45 seconds. Remove dough from the mixer and turn out on work surface and form into 2 discs, cover discs with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour, or up to 2 days.
For the filling, add sliced and peeled pears with the next seven ingredients and mix well until all incorporated. Set aside.
Remove dough from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll out first disc into a 12 inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick. Carefully place dough into a 9 inch pie plate, and trim the outer access dough with a pair of scissors.
Add pie filling and distribute the cubed butter on top of the filling.
For the top crust, create your favorite design, (traditional, lattice, or using cut outs like mine). For the traditional top pie, make sure you make slit marks for steam to escape while baking. Then brush finished pie with an egg wash (1 egg mixed with a tablespoon or so of milk) and dust will sugar. Chill pie in the freezer for 20-30 minutes.
Preheat oven at 350 degrees.
Bake chilled pie for about 1 hour (rotating pie half way through), if the crust isn't golden brown bake for another 15 minutes or so. Let pie cool for at about an hour for the filling to set up. Serve with ice cream or fresh whipped cream, enjoy!

As police continue searching for an ex-Los Angeles police officer wanted in connection with the killing of a police officer and two others, conservative web sites are pointing out his left-leaning politics.
News outlets Thursday published some or all of a rambling manifesto allegedly written by Christopher Jordan Dorner, who police are seeking. The document praises prominent Democrats and media figures and expresses support for gun control. It also gives a shout-out to actor Charlie Sheen and Michelle Obama's bangs.
"SUSPECTED MASS-MURDERER'S MANIFESTO ENDORSES HILLARY, OBAMA, GUN CONTROL, ELITE MEDIA," is a headline on Breitbart.com. That article accuses the mainstream media of "selectively reporting parts of the manifesto, leaving out details that would reflect badly on them. The Daily Caller has a story with a headline, "Suspected cop killer an Obama, Piers Morgan fan."Morgan, a strong supporter of gun control, who hosts a prime-time CNN interview program, tweeted his reactions to the attention given to him for being named in the manifesto.
"The LA cop-killer murder spree has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with deranged criminality. I hope they catch him asap," Morgan tweeted. He also wrote, "Shocking to see how many gun rights tweeters think this shocking LA cop-killer's manifesto is something to joke about. It's not."

smugglers, castanets, love, lust, music and murderwhat
more could you ask for from an evening at the opera?
the risqué story of a freewheeling, free-loving gypsy womans
betrayal of her soldier love, based on a novella by Prosper
Mérimée, originally was denounced as a debauchery by critics
and producers alike. But the final opera by Georges Bizet
has become one of the most popular and oft-performed operas
of all time.
This week, the sultry gypsy and her rebellious bird of love
alight on the Proctors stage, courtesy of Bulgarian touring
opera company Teatro Lirico DEuropa, who have performed
more than 3,000 shows worldwide. And according to OperaOnline,
thanks to their dynamic interpretation of Carmen,
Teatro Lirico DEuropa can add another notch to its impressive
winning belt.
comes to the Proctors stage (432 State St., Schenectady)
tomorrow (Friday, Feb. 27) at 8 PM. Tickets range from $20
to $46. For more info, or to purchase tickets, call 346-6204.
one thinks about Tom Jones, its not unusual to be blinded
by the dubious trivia that surrounds his persona. Its said
that the sex-bomb singer suffered a Zoolander-like bout
of tuberculosis at a young age, sold vacuum cleaners door-to-door,
took Elviras virginity, insured his chest hair for $7 million,
and instructs his light man, every night, to keep a steady
diffuse glow on his crotch.
Lucky for us, we have a chance to verify that last rumor
when (Sir) Jones stops at the Palaceno doubt on his way
to Las Vegas or Atlantic City. Dudes been bobbing and crooning
long enough to get pelted by at least three generations
worth of knickers, so theres little anyone can say at this
point that will tarnish his mystique.
Tom Jones plays the Palace Theatre (19 Clinton Ave., Albany)
tonight (Thursday, Feb. 26) at 7:30 PM. Tickets run from
$39.50 to $59.50. Call 465-3334 for more info.
May weighs in at 400 pounds, and claims to love Mexicans,
man, cuz yall can fix anything with like two chicklets
and a pocket knife. His Web site features the notoriously
large comedian packed into a yellow spandex superhero suit
and flying over a doodled cityscape, which doubles as a
hand flippin the bird. You know, the kind of thing you
maybe scrawled in your 8th-grade science notebook. Maybe.
And it is just that brash brand of comedy that launched
Ralphie May to stardomfirst on Last Comic Standing,
and since on his three Comedy Central specials, his platinum-selling
DVDs, and even the big screen. The New York Times
says Ralphie is phenomenal! and The Washington Post
calls him a Tour de Force.
So leave any sense of propriety you may have at home, and
check him out this weekend.
Ralphie May brings his heavy-hitting (pun intended) comedy
to the Egg (Empire State Plaza, Albany) tomorrow (Friday,
Feb. 27) at 8 PM. Tickets are $30. For more info, call 473-1845.

Freebie: Heart of the Unicorn Vector
posted by Matt Ward on Feb 18, 2010.
Freebie: I'm releasing a new vector freebie entitled Heart of the Unicorn. This heraldry design finds its inspiration in the recently passed Valentine's Day, and is freely available for use in both personal and commercial designs. I hope you enjoy it!
Today I am bringing you another awesome freebie. I haven't given away a vector freebie in a while, so I figure it's about time to release another one for you all. Wouldn't you agree?
The vector that I am releasing today is actually something that I designed for a tutorial that I recently had published over on SpyreStudios. It is a glossy heraldry vector with a Valentine's Day theme. Yes, I know I'm a few days late, but I prefer to think of it as being a few months early. Besides, the tutorial itself was actually released on Valentine's Day, and I wanted it to hit the "airwaves" before I released this freebie!
Anyhow, you can just click on the preview below to download the vector.
Obviously, this vector was inspired by my love of heraldry design, but with a bit of a twist. Instead of using the classical shield as the center point of the image, I elected to go with a heart instead. Then, because the heart kind of lead into a romantic theme, I decided to add in a couple of unicorns too, since the unicorn is often associated with young maids and such.
You are free to use this vector in your own designs – commercial or otherwise. All I ever ask is for you to send me a quick note letting me know how and where you used it. A sample of your design or a link back here would be greatly appreciated, too!
Oh, and both the wings and the unicorns were also hand drawn and then vectorized in Illustrator, so this is definitely a hand crafted vector. Also, all of the elements – heart, wings, unicorns, banner and star-burst or broken out onto separate layers. Feel free to extract any of them and is it on its own.
If you enjoy this vector, please let me know by dropping a comment or promoting this post on your favorite social media site! Keep an eye out for more awesome freebies coming your way in the future!Post A Comment

Spicing it up
If you like your food spicy, add a small pinch of red chilli flakes to the onion. A handful of quartered artichoke hearts from a jar can be added as well as, or instead of, the olives.
- Preheat the oven to fan 180C/conventional 200C/gas 6. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil from the olives in an ovenproof pan. Tip in the onion and stir well, leave to cook for a minute or two and then give it another good stir. Add the tomatoes and some salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then add the olives.
- Put the fish, skin side down, onto the sauce and drizzle over a splash more oil from the olive jar. Bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes until the fish is cooked. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve straight from the pan, with lemon wedges for squeezing over.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, June 2004

Comments, questions and tips
Really tasty, and extremely easy and quick. I thought the olives were a bit overpowering, so would halve those next time. Also added a couple of anchovy fillets and 2Tbsp capers, which worked really well. Will try variations with artichokes, garlic and chilli next time.
Served with crusty olive bread to mop up the sauce.

And was that the La Liga Awards?
They got to be kidding me. but then again I stopped following the awards of the corrupted Fifa/Uefa
Messi. However the Team of the year was a complete joke, is Marcelo better than Lahm? Alonso better than Pirlo? Falcao better than Persie? Ramos better than Hummels?
Agreed to the best team of the world part. since it was unfair that the entire team was picked from La Leagua.
[Edited by Evanscense, 1/8/2013 12:17:32 AM]
They are all overpaid big heads, which in turn have caused wages and fees increased that much that it has causes clubs to go into bankruptcy etc.
Nah, a player like Torres is overpaid and overrated.

AUSTIN RAMBLER. The Austin Rambler, a weekly newspaper published in Austin by George W. Morris,qv first appeared in March 1841. After only four or five issues the paper was discontinued, but it was revived and appeared again on September 28, 1858, with William Carleton as editor and publisher. According to family records, Carleton moved the paper to Lockhart in 1859 and continued it there for a year before ill health forced him to discontinue publication.

Chris Corrado's fashion trade show, Capsule, was born of dissatisfaction with the status quo and an attitude of "If you're not getting what you need from others, give it to yourself." With industry experience making him a veteran in his field, the charismatic Corrado went on to revolutionize the traditional fashion trade show format leading attendees on a wholly experiential journey through the cavernous Capsule environs, while keeping a non-competitive, supportive relationship with and between participants. As part of Portable's Curators Conference, Corrado will be sharing his insights and expertise, so we sat down with him ahead of the event to talk about the curatorship of brands and the ethics of style…
Portable: So tell us why you started the tradeshow in the first place, and what inspired it.
Chris Corrado: Well, I'm not sure if most people know this but we are a sales and PR agency for brands, it's actually what our core business has been since the company was founded 8-9 years ago. And for years as a sales agency we've participated in other people's trade shows, and that was all fine and dandy for a time, until we realized that we didn't necessarily fit in with that experience as a whole, we didn't have that right brand agency by the brands we represented, we didn't have the right sort of atmosphere in the show, and eventually we decided that it made more sense for us to try to do something on our own.
So the initial plan was to find a small space, where maybe a few other brands that were interested in coming abroad, would just show with us. So we would do it at the same time at the other shows, or the menswear market in New York or the market in Las Vegas, and we were just going to do something small, and before we knew it, we had 45 other brands that wanted to show with us in that space, and we had to call it what it was. So it wasn't like one day we sat down and said 'Hey, let's have a trade fair', it was more like we just ended up with one, and of course, now 5 years later, we're at a stage where we've got 12 shows a year between men's and women's markets, in New York, Paris, Berlin and Las Vegas.
P: Earlier you were saying that other trade shows are sub-par, but what do you see as the deficiencies across the board?
Chris Corrado: The typical tradeshow experience, not just in the fashion industry but across all markets, is that it's a convention, it's a giant place where 'the more the merrier', everyone is invited, and quantity, to a degree, is important for certain brands, but when you represent the brands we represent, the most progressive brands in the market, it's more about quality, it's about existing in an environment that actually compliments the brand.
So we looked at what actually existed in the trade show market, the amenities that trade shows offered brands and the experience, and we just looked at all the details that needed to be better. Easy setup, easy breakdown, a very clean, egalitarian layout – we don't let people go crazy with displays or do giant build-outs, it's not about how much money you can spend on building your booth, it's about the quality of the product you represent. And by keeping that playing field even, you're not playing any favourites, everyone feels like they're getting a fair chance, and it creates that vibe of community, brotherhood and family. And that is a hell of a better way to hang out and do business than a competitive environment.
We also looked at little things like the music that we play, the food that we serve, the things that we invest into the show to make it better and smarter and more interesting, more educating and also entertaining, not in the sense that it's that kind of show but more – are we inspiring the people with the things we are doing here? So it was a very simple formula: look at the things we didn't like, fix them, and make them better.
P: What's the process of selecting brands and designers?
Chris Corrado: We have a pretty large prospective list of designers that we're interested in working with, having been in the market and working with brands for over 10 years, and working in this particular tier of the market we know what we're interested in, which brands would fit in and the vast majority of designers that show with us are actually directly invited by us.
So we as a group set that list, review it seasonally, and send out the invitations, which is the bulk of it. But brands can also go to our website, and submit an enquiry to exhibit, and we have a judicial panel that reviews all of those brands, and then based on those reviews, we will get back to all those brands with a yes or no decision.
P: What in particular do you look for in that judicial process?
Chris Corrado: It's complicated to answer, but more than anything I think it comes back to the way a brand makes us feel. There's a lot of great product out there, and it's hard when reviewing brands via things they send you through email or via the Internet to really know whether their garments really have a high quality of construction, or design aesthetic, there's a lot you can't tell from pictures.
P: So it's got a lot to do with ethics as well as style.
Chris Corrado: It's got to do with ethics, and it's also got to do with the knowledge of the consumer in that they want to feel some connection to the soul of the brand, not just the product that they bought off of the shelf, and on the Internet you can actually learn a lot about the people that make that product, the guy that designed it or the woman that designed that dress – you have a personal story that you can go and learn about and investigate, and that makes a huge difference. Certainly to our market, because the designers that we work with and we represent and our clients are individuals who put thought into literally every step of the process. It's never just a jean or a shirt, it's a fabric they found somewhere, they probably had to climb a mountain and talk to a Sherpa, and that Sherpa's grandma wove that fabric years ago. And all these stories make up these garments are what we're showing in this particular setting, and it's working at retail.
The one trend that's been going for 10 or so years is that people want something that's real, and something that feels unique to them, and that I don't think is going to change. I think that's only going to grow. And so it becomes even more important, or when you look at it that way, that there's actually more room for these small designers to exist. You need them all in order for everybody to get their unique piece of awesome.
P: Do you think that desire for the more unique product comes out of the fact that everything is so disposable and accessible at the same time?
Chris Corrado: I think actually the last that we underwent, before people started caring about heritage product, if you rewind the tape a little bit, we were vintage inspired for a long time, not that that ever went away, along with vintage came this thing where all these little hipsters and tastemakers were out there and they were shopping cheap. They were going out and buying vintage t-shirts of 3 dollars. It was then that a brand like American Apparel came into play, because you could get what seemed like cool tees or shorts or vintage inspired bodies, real cheap, made in Los Angeles, interesting little segue way there – is that when people got bored of disposable fashion and it became so common everywhere, all of a sudden this heritage trend came around. All these old-school brands – Red Wing, Levi's, a lot of the brands that we work with at our show that are heritage brands – these things became symbols of quality, they were actually a rebellion, in a sense, against that fast fashion that existed. The vintage thing, that actually still went forward and moved on and succeeded but the way it changed is that it went from being a 3 dollar thrift tee to now bring like collectors items, like how do you go and find that item.
That's actually why we included vintage in the show, because there are retailers out there that are showing progressive men's wear and women's wear alongside beautifully curated vintage products, whether that be some piece of denim they found in a mine somewhere that they're now charging $10,000 for, it just amplifies that drive for unique, real product. So we've got 4 or 5 of the best vintage purveyors in the world that exhibit with us, and sell those cash and carry, as well as bulk orders to retailers. But we're actually maybe exiting that heritage phase, and getting into an evolution of that. I don't think heritage will go away, maybe just move forward just as vintage did, as one little path, and now possibly the sort of performance / technical world is seeping in again because the product is real, it takes savvy and technology to create it, and because that shit is good.

Planners key to recovery, says SNP
The SNP has pledged to give planners a key role in leading Scotland's economic recovery
Leader Alex Salmond said that 'a vibrant planning system' is essential to boosting the nation's economy.
The party is celebrating winning an overall majority in the Scottish Parliament - a first in the 12-year history of Holyrood.
The SNP's pre-election manifesto said: 'We want to see a wider understanding of the planning system and a recognition of the important role planners have in the creation of more sustainable communities and in the delivery of higher levels of sustainable economic growth.'
Planners have welcomed the SNP's pledge.
Craig McLaren, director of the Royal Town Planning Institute in Scotland, said: 'The fact that the SNP Government has said that it supports planners and sees them having a role in delivering sustainable communities and high levels of economic growth is a good thing. It sees the value of planning.'
He added: 'On the other hand, I think that the Scottish Government is still going to be extremely interested in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the planning system. I think we have to rise to that challenge as a profession.'
Salmond has also called for greater borrowing powers to be devolved from Westminster, so that the country can invest in infrastructure and boost the development sector.

Here is an activity to get your creative juices flowing while keeping the kids occupied.
How to make the most of this activity
- Let your creative genius guide you. The goal is not to make a vision board or a collage on any preconceived topic. Just have fun and the theme will reveal itself. It may surprise you.
- Start with the assumption that you won't share your page with anyone. I kept on worrying about how it would look on my blog and I wasn't making any progress until I thought, 'This is just for me, I'm not sharing it on my blog'. (Then, of course, I am.)
- There are no rules. You can use words or just pictures. You can stick the pictures in any order, next to or on top of each other, colour your page or leave it white.
- Use non-toxic glue. Or even better – use homemade glue. Some of it will be eaten.
- Resist the urge to direct your children when their creations start resembling a toy catalogue. It's not the end of the world. If you stay focused on your own project, you'll enjoy it more plus it's a good practice in letting your kids make their own choices.
- Allow plenty of time. My children are still going 1 hour after I finished my creation (which gives me time to squeeze in writing a blog post).
Use this activity when you need a mood changer!
The day was promising to be a total write-off. I was exhausted, kids were screaming. My son told me they were only behaving the way they were because I was mean to them… he was right. By the time we were finished cutting and sticking we were all re-energised, feeling great about ourselves and more together.
I could recognise my theme. My pages spoke of regaining my child-like qualities. It had curiosity, sense of wonder, lightness, strength, adventure and fairy tales. It set the tone of the rest of my day.
When I visited Creative Every Day to link up my post, I found this wonderful post speaking of a different version of this activity: Story Cards. Head over for more insights!
Through Creative Every Day I also discovered this creative blog hop:

Another possible Bush presidency should rile freedom-lovers everywhere. He's forming a leadership political action committee.
On Facebook, he said he's doing so to "discuss the most critical challenges facing our exceptional nation."
With "support leaders…" Exploring "ideas and policies that will expand opportunity and prosperity for all Americans." More on his bid below.
The Bush family dynasty reflects a legacy of crime. Deceit. Serial lying. Public betrayal. Neocon extremism. Serving wealth, power and privilege exclusively. At the expense of social justice.
Disdain for human and civil rights. Mindless of rule of law principles. Imperial wars called liberating ones. Mass murder and destruction. Anti-democratic color revolutions. Torture as official US policy. Operating the world's largest gulag. At home and abroad. Waging war on humanity. For unchallenged world dominance.

Since early 2011, ongoing blame game strategy holds Syria responsible for Western-enlisted death squad crimes.
In August 2011, the Human Rights Council (HRC) appointed a so-called Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria (COI). Paulo Pinheiro heads it.
His mandate is pro-Western propaganda. Credibility isn't his long suit. His reports bear testimony to his bias. He wrongfully blames Assad for insurgent crimes. He's done so throughout his tenure.
Washington calls the shots. Pinheiro and other COI members salute and obey. So do HRC officials. Truth is verboten. False reports up the stakes for full-blown US-led NATO intervention.
On June 4, 1,000 US marines arrived in Jordan. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel approved them along with deployment of F-16s, Patriot missiles and other weapons.

The president and the mainstream media, along with the capital in-crowd, celebrate their wonderfulness each year at the White House Correspondents Association Dinner. The format consists of an invited comedian who pokes fun at the president and press with some shtick from the current leader of the free world. The event is by invitation only, no common folk allowed.
After watching the dinner on C-Span, I have just one question. What's so funny Mr. President?
The president will never be asked that question. But if just one of those White House correspondents hosting the event had the courage, the answer would be in two parts.
How can the president and the press get together and yuck it up when we're in such a dreadful state of affairs. The nation is in an economic dead calm. Millions of jobs left the country in the past decade, probably for good. Many more jobs were lost due to the ongoing recession. Not many were created to take their place, unless we count minimum wage jobs at Walmart (with benefits from Medicaid).
Rebels have threatened to storm two predominantly Christian towns in central Syria, saying regime forces are using them to attack nearby areas, an activist group said Saturday. It says such an attack could force thousands of Christians from their homes. (Image: White House Web Page, headlines added)
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that one rebel group has issued an ultimatum to the towns of Mahrada and Sqailbiyeh in the province of Hama.
Rami Abdul-Rahman, who heads the Observatory, said some Christians and Alawis have also left Hama province in the past several days to escape violence. He said some of them found shelter in the coastal city of Tartus.

Now what could this mean? TV crew stopped from taking samples from polluted Florida beach. Pat Gonzales, US Fish and Wildlife (to WEAR ABC 3 reporter taking a sample from polluted beach): "You can not come out here and do your own investigation if you're looking for oil product." WEAR ABC 3
Is the government protecting the sovereign state of BP? Is a pattern emerging?
It seems so. In addition to chasing off WEAR-ABC off the beach, federal officials discouraged scientists from taking samples in the Gulf, other federal officials confiscated samples gathered by scientists at LSU, and state officials refused to test fish for pollution claiming they'd seen no oil in the area in question. Who benefits?

I just read the presidents big speech tonight and it struck me. There were some key lines left out of the speech. You may have had the same response. For the sake of clarity and fairness, I've tried to reconstruct the missing lines. I'm sure that the omissions were just an accident. Or maybe that Robert Gibbs may be up to his old tricks again. My insertions are in italics, following the president's words from the official White House transcript. White House, August 31, 2010 Here goes.
THE PRESIDENT: Good evening. Tonight, I'd like to talk to you about the end of our combat mission in Iraq, the ongoing security challenges we face, and the need to rebuild our nation here at home. But before I do that, we need a moment of truth. The Iraq war was based on a deliberate lie involving the White House distorting the National intelligence estimate on Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). The report got it wrong on WMD. There were none. But it concluded that the only way the nonexistent WMD would be used against the United States was in retaliation for a US attack on Iraq that threatened Saddam Hussein. By deleting this information, the Bush-Cheney White House justified a preemptive invasion without any basis, a crime under international law that our nation helped establish after World War II.

White House Press Secretary, Robert "the mole" Gibbs, was outed last night for his lead role in throwing the 2010 congressional election to the Republican Party. The White House refused to return calls to comment on the charge or verify the outline of the carefully orchestrated plot. But a variety of off the record sources spoke as one - the plot is real and has been going on long before the 2008 general election. The scope of the plot goes well beyond the upcoming congressional contests.
In a recent interview for The Hill newspaper, Gibbs used an entirely new technique in election tactics - offend and humiliate a key element of your voting block right before a critical election. Gibbs ridiculed progressives as part of the "Professional Left" and said, "They will be satisfied when we have Canadian health care and we've eliminated the Pentagon. That's not reality." Research indicates that this approach has never been used within 90 days of a general election.
But the story goes much deeper than simple electoral politics. The planned outburst has a short term benefit for Republicans but, as we will see, Gibbs is reporting to a higher authority.

People are dying in Haiti because they can't get out, Dr. Green said. Shala Dewan, New York Times, January 29
Many of us wanted to think that the dreadful behavior during the Bush administration was some sort of aberration. We had a relatively clean election and ended up with a more intelligent and compassionate president who would reflect our views. There would be no more foreign invasions (wrong); we'd take care of the people before the Wall Street failures (wrong); and there would be no more Katrinas, without any doubt!
MIAMI — The United States has suspended its medical evacuations of critically injured Haitian earthquake victims until a dispute over who will pay for their care is settled, military officials said Friday. NYT
Why are "military officials" saying anything in a situation where the lives of people are involved and the reputation of the United States is on the line. Where's the White House?
The underpants bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, is a curious terrorist. He became disillusioned with his privileged life as the son of a bank chairman and member of the Nigerian elite, it would seem. Rather than pursuing his studies in London, he retreated to Yemen to learn the ways of al Qaeda inspired terrorism.
Farouk was so indiscreet that his father reported him to the U.S. Embassy as a potential terrorist in November. A month later, he managed to get on a jumbo jet headed for Detroit to complete a terror mission. Despite his training in engineering at the prestigious London School of Economics, Farouk failed in his mission. He couldn't mix his explosives to achieve the desired effect. He apparently forgot to detonate the explosive device in mid flight, waiting until just before landing in Detroit to start his task. He retrieved and set off the chemicals to create the explosion in full view of passengers.
What kind of terrorist is this? He doesn't know when, how or where to conduct his criminal enterprise.

Newark Catholic coach Rob Smith never is satisfied.
On Saturday, the Green Wave could have stopped at the end of the third quarter and asked: "Are you happy now?" Smith did not have any complaints as NC delivered a masterpiece, turning a showdown against Granville into a runaway.
Jill Blacksten, a double-double machine, had another with 19 points and 13 rebounds, and four others scored at least nine as the NC beat visiting Granville 72-43 in Mid-State League-Ohio Division play. The Green Wave have swept the season series with the Blue Aces and appear headed to their second consecutive league ...

Steelers' Tomlin Part of NFL's New Breed
PITTSBURGH, Pa.—Rex Ryan is the coach who plays like the kid down the street, the overgrown buddy who's one of the guys.
Mike Tomlin is the coach who plays pool in the locker room, his trim build suggesting he actually is one of the guys.
Welcome to the new breed of NFL coach.
As the Steelers and Jets met in the AFC Championship game Sunday night, they did it behind two men who shucked staid and stuffy forever ago—if they ever actually exhibited either trait.
Mr. Ryan's bombast and anti-authoritarian ways are well known in New York and around the league by now, snagging headlines and selling stories all season.
But before Mr. Ryan was hired in New York, Mr. Tomlin was, albeit more quietly, building the same sort of reputation in Pittsburgh.
It was exactly four years and a day before Sunday's title game that the Rooney family hired Mr. Tomlin, then—and still now at 38—the NFL's youngest coach. He's quickly proven the genius in that, winning the Super Bowl in his second year and guiding his team to a second conference championship game this year.
It's the way the results have been forged—just as with the way the Jets' successes have—that upend the traditional image of the tough disciplinarian NFL coach.
"He's one of us," rookie receiver Emmanuel Sanders said.
"He's been the exact same guy since he got here—someone who never panics," 13-year veteran receiver Hines Ward said.
From his first press conference, Mr. Tomlin oozed self-confidence and Mr. Ward laughed just trying to imagine any instance of doubt he's seen in the coach since. A perennial Pro Bowler, Mr. Ward said he doesn't know if he's ever seen anyone as confident, including the much more obsequiously secure Mr. Ryan.
"You know what it is? He knows he's good and so we know we're good," second-year receiver Mike Wallace said.
That certainty in his self means Mr. Tomlin, again like Mr. Ryan, doesn't need to control every aspect of his team. He's always run a Tampa Two defense, from Tampa Bay to Minnesota, and that system's base alignment calls for four down linemen and three linebackers. But when he was hired by the Steelers, he kept on legendary—and now Hall of Fame—defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau, whose defense uses three down linemen and four linebackers.
His players uniformly talk about the William and Mary graduate's incredible intellect. Corner Ike Taylor said he knows "a ridiculous amount about the game, and by ridiculous I mean everything." But at the same time, the players say Mr. Tomlin knows when to defer.
Like to linebacker James Farrior, a player he said this past week "sets the tone for this outfit." He allows Mr. Farrior to make the final comments to the team before a game, unimaginable to many a coach in the AFC.
"Besides his bank account being a little bigger, he is the same guy," Mr. Farrior said. "He has been the same guy since he has been here. He has a been a very good coach in the aspect of knowing what the players need, helping us out and keeping us fresh. He is a very good motivator."
Sometimes it's with a quiet word as he strolls through the locker room, something the former college receiver does daily. Sometimes it's with a stronger word, or with a joke, Mr. Wallace said.
The Steelers unequivocally know he has their back—as he did in publicly scolding a television reporter this week who revealed before last week's divisional playoff game that the Steelers would run a trick play. He most definitely is no patsy.
"He's the cool dude, but it's still clear, 'I'm your coach.' What he says goes—always," Antwan Randle-El said. He's played for four coaches now, Bill Cowher with the Steelers, two with the Redskins and now under Mr. Tomlin and he said he can't help but compare him to Mr. Cowher, who won a Super Bowl and spent 15 years here.
"They both give you this little extra edge," he said, "and they both make you want to play for them just like you do your teammates."

People need to work for money, for we live in a society where money is almost everything. Money has suddenly led to an increase in the greed and avarice of humans and consequently their desire to consume more and more material possessions. Everything was fine until the human mind got corrupted and money overpowered our humanity, because then suddenly, money became much more important than humans, and people started going to any lengths to procure it.
This resulted in increased crime rates only for some money. Bank robberies, murder for land and property have become so common these days that the newspapers are filled with these brutal attacks on humankind and what for? Money. As if money has become the end all and be all for everyone today. Granted, it is important, but at the expense of humanity, Is it really that important?
although the future does not seem so bright for us, but mankind has one redeeming feature, and that is hope.
While on one side people are ready to kill each other for money. On the flip side people do exist who work not just for the sake money but because they are really dedicated to give children a better future. It is only because of this small group of people, who are so determined to change the ways of this world that some progress could be achieved in this area.
These people try to make the world a better place to live in. Not to mention that not only they get immense job satisfaction with their professions, but also self gratification when they realize that they are the harbinger of faith for this humanity. There pay scales may or may not be very high but they sure get respect wherever they go. And is it not what we want money to buy for us? Respect – from that limited edition Ferrari or that hot couture dress. only to get respected by others.
Lets get straight down to business folks! Here is the top ten most noble professions one could land themselves in..
10. Police Officers
They work hard all day long! Chasing criminals investigating, maintaining law and order in the city all the time. In short ensuring that you feel safe in your home.
They do everything for us only to hear us call them lazy, corrupt and good for nothing fellows. Police officers, according to one survey lead a very stressful lives, not only because of their long and hectic work days but also because of their work, they can not devote much time to their families.
Therefore, the next time you see a policeman thank him, for a little thanks never hurt anyone but sure makes them smile!
9. Garbage Collectors
Can you even think of taking their place just for one day?
We know you and i cant. This makes us all the more grateful to them. Because they do for us something, we can not do for ourselves – Keep our homes and city clean.
The filth and stink these people endure while on their work is enough for any man to quit this job after some time but these people do all that without complaining. All this with a meager salary. What does that teaches you? – To be humble, towards them, the next time you see them.
8. Engineers
Well this profession is here only because a special someone argued about the noble nature of this profession. The reason why I was given is reproduced here as it is, Engineers invent and maintain things which would and does make life easier for people and because I was convinced, engineers land a spot on the list of noble professions.
Knowing personally quite a few of them, their long work hours keep them away from home, in turn keeping their friends and family waiting, add to that their dedication and passion for this job.
Even Internet and Computer were invented by them. Now, do you realize there importance?
And trust me on this, being a kin of an engineer is no mean task people!
7. NGO Workers
When all the world is going mad over money, these people work to extend smiles on the faces of under privileged Though the cash flow is small, but they know they will manage some how, for they are working for humanitarian issues.
At the end of the day, the unfortunate people need support and compassion more than monetary help, And the NGO workers provide them with that in abundance. If someone can make a person smile, whoa more is left to accomplish in a trifling life. To top it all, their service to human kind does not go unnoticed, but serves as an inspiration to others in order to indulge in the same. Hence, we consider it a very noble profession.
6. Nurses
Nurses are the epitome of hard work and empathy. Their very oath which they take to serve their patients with all the care and might is proof enough of their service to humankind.
They toil hard all day long, and then they have to take care of patients who are in such a sorry state that even their own family members can forsake them. But a nurse does not care how bad the condition of the patient may be and with her determination and hard work takes good care of all the people that are entrusted to her care. Truly nurses care for patients like mother nature cares for us, humans.
5. Farmers
The scientists have still not been able to create machines which can produce food products and therefore we still depend on farmers for the food we eat, which is reason enough to thank them endlessly. After all we are totally dependent on them!
The farmers work all day long in their fields and practically its their hard work that we eat, rather waste more. We do not think twice before wasting a large quantity of food everyday this problem being more prevalent in the developed nations more than the developing ones. This is just not an insult of food itself but of the hard work that the farmers had put in. If we can not thank the farmers for our food, the least we can do to show them our appreciation is the judicious use of food products.
This is perhaps the most noble professions of the world. what can be more noble than a person dying for his country's sake.
No amount of money can equal the respect which a soldier gets, and then he deserves ever bit of it. He guards and protect us from all the evils that could possibly befall on us knowing fully well that if he dies while protecting his country, his own family will be left unprotected. But even this insecurity does not deter him from his duty towards his nation.
While the brave hearts remain busy guarding the frontiers of their country, their family are braver than them, for they have to live without a son/ daughter, husband/ wife,and a father/ mother. All glory is promised to these unsung heroes of ours!
3. Teachers
Ah! They never get the due they deserve! When in reality they are the most important people in shaping up the future of a whole country. They make children who are the future of any nation, into responsible young adults.
The role of a teacher is not only limited to teach school subjects, but a good teacher always takes care of the developments of a child's morals and ethics, as well as guiding him in all stages of life whenever he should need his help. A teacher is a friend, guide and mentor of a child and hence teachers land up at number three in our list.
2. Doctors
Well they are our saviors They ought to be treated with respect and humility and for the family of a patient whose life and death is almost in the hands of a doctor, he is no less than God personified for them.
Doctors not only make us feel better, but they have the ability to get us safely back to our families when the prospects of the same are very less. Even though people think they lead a very good life, the situation is far from the truth. For not only do they realize that one wrong move of their might cost a person his life which is torture enough. But also their work knows no end, and hence it takes a toll on their health, not to forget a battered family life. And when a person does not have a family, what good is money?
1. Stay At Home Mothers
Now you really cant argue with this point! Well most people would not consider full time motherhood to be a profession but accept it sir, motherhood is as tiring as being joyful, satisfying and demanding as any other job in the world. The only difference being that in a proper job you get paid in money while the only dividend a mother gets is the unconditional love of her children which is more than all the things money could ever buy.
Mothers are preoccupied all the day in their children that they hardly get time for something else but even then they are not treated with the respect they deserve.
Though my mum is not a stay at home mother which makes her job all the harder, I just want to wrap up this article by thanking my mum for making me the kind of person I am today.

Marguerite–Thérèse (Margot) Bérard (1874–1956), 1879
August Renoir (French, 1841–1919)
Oil on canvas; 16 1/8 x 12 3/4 in. (41 x 32.4 cm)
Bequest of Stephen C. Clark, 1960 (61.101.15)
Renoir depicted the five-year-old daughter of his devoted patron Paul Bérard, a French diplomat and banker whom he met in the winter of 1878. The artist often spent his summers at the Bérards' country home in Wargemont, near Dieppe, on the Normandy coast, where he painted decorative pictures for the house and a veritable family album of portraits, which range from formal commissions to more intimate works that reflect a genuine fondness for the four Bérard children. According to Margot's nephew, Renoir painted this spirited portrait of her to "cheer her up" after a disagreeable lesson with her German tutor that had brought her to tears.

You're wrong and living in the past if you think Kovalchuk is going to come back and make this team a contender. Yeah, he'll definitely help put some more goals in the net, I agree, but the past does matter because Kovalchuk's credibility is totally shot, what team is going to vote yes to Kovalchuk returning to the NHL when he has already 'retired' and then peaced out at the first sign of A) He team starting to falter or B) The threat of another lockout. The past definitely matters.
Alright if you think Kovalchuk won't be an effective player at least that is a real reason for not wanting him on the team. It is debatable but at least it's not, "I don't want him back because he left."
