June 10, 2012

Via EW.com
Well, no one saw this one coming — except for maybe Willam herself.
"Will you please step forward?" RuPaul asked the controversial queen at the very end of last night's new episode of RuPaul's Drag Race,
sending what should have been the routine elimination of Phi Phi O'Hara
or Sharon Needles into a totally different — and weird — direction.
It was only
after Willam — who was actually the winner of the night's fremeny
challenge, alongside partner Latrice Royale — came back to the front of
the stage that — SPOILER ALERT — it was revealed that
she was being disqualified from the show. "It has come to my attention
that you have broken the rules," RuPaul told Willam. "Your actions have
consequences, and I'm afraid I have no choice."
There were several very odd parts to the whole episode-ending
sequence: Just minutes before this shocking revelation, Willam took a
moment to step to the edge of the runway and puke — in front of her
fellow contestants and the judging panel.
(Disqualified because she
barfed in public?) And then, after she was kicked off the show, there
was no explanation about what rules she had broken, by her or RuPaul or
anyone connected with the show.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So, everyone will be dying to know: What happened with the disqualification?
WILLAM BELLI: Oh, f—, I didn't win?
You're pulling the funny here, but what really happened?
What do you think I did?
I don't know — you were barfing there on the runway. Are you bulimic and that's against the rules?
Here's the thing: I had an abortion. The anesthesia just made me sick. I
will say this: I wasn't caught doing anything. Everything that I did, I
admitted and I brought to everyone's attention.
Why do you have to be cryptic about what happened on last night's episode?
Oh, no, no — not at all. We don't have to be cryptic. It's my choice. I
want people to keep tuning in. Maybe watch me at the reunion.
So, we'll find out what happens at the reunion?
Yeah, or maybe everyone should write into the network and say, "We want
Willam — give him his own show!" Or, some bulls— like that, "Put him on Drag U!" That kind of crap.
Was this all a plan to garner publicity?
I don't know! It seemed like my schedule was quite jam-packed, like I
was in New York doing an off-Broadway show the next week. I have no
idea. Like, I'm going to leave all these answers up to wiser men than I
at the network. I do like the fact that they didn't make it seem like I
got caught doing something, like my hand was in the cookie jar.
Everything that I did on that show was pretty much in character, except
for when I cried.
What happened there?
I was so p—ed that they got that. The crying thing, it was weird because
it actually happened when I came back out on stage — it wasn't after
they said I was safe. You can't make everything flow the way it should
for a 42 minute show without some editing. So I totally understand, and I
applaud them for that, and it's helped to mold me as great reality TV
fodder. But I'm 100 percent fine with the editing, and I do like that
they didn't make it look like I did something bad. They didn't say that I
fessed up to anything, but they said that there were rules broken.
Was what you did bad?
If I was good at what I was doing — which they considered "bad" — is it
still considered "bad"? I'm trying not to be an a–hole here, but it's
not working out very well.
Outside of this incident, did you think you had a good chance of winning?
I think I won. Didn't I? Phi Phi O'Hara says that "everyone is a winner
just by being on the show." So I think I'm a winner, right? Yeah. No, I
thought the front runner this year was RuPaul because she's won every
other year. She's the only one that gets residuals, so good on her.
What do you think of your portrayal on the show? Accurate?
Everything that they showed, I did. The one thing I don't like is they showed talk about Sex & the City
a lot. I was an extra on that when I was 16. They cut out every other
reference to other things that I'm actually proud of, like Nip/Tuck.
I did five episodes of that and got to work with [series creator] Ryan
[Murphy]. That was awesome. I just did a movie that was nominated for
Emmys on HBO last year, Cinema Verite, where I got to sing and
dance and die and it was amazing. They tried to make me look like I was
more into myself than I had the allowance to be, if that makes sense.
Every single girl who was on that show wanted to be on TV, just like me.
So I don't understand why I got s— for saying I was on TV…when asked!
When someone says, "I recognize you," I'll say, "Congratulations on
having a TV." It's a little joke.
That was a great line — very funny.
I'm a comedian. It's what I do!
You have to fit into a reality show character role, right?
It was quite obvious from that moment that people knew I was in character, you know? I'm really happy with everything.
Are you rooting for a particular queen for the win?
[Drag Race judge] Michelle Visage! She was one of the only
people who was honest with me about my makeup. I just didn't see a five
o'clock shadow sometimes until I was on stage after the lip-synch,
touching up my makeup. There was this moment where I looked up, and I
saw it, and I pointed to my face and then at her, and I was like, "I got
you. I know exactly what you're talking about." In this episode, there
is no beard — it's gorgeous and flawless. Michelle said on stage, she
was like, "You look great. This is beautiful." It was nice. All I wanted
on that show was to raise my profile a little bit because I wasn't
getting in for parts. Shangela and Chris Crocker got parts over me
because they said I wasn't enough of a name. I've been working for 10
years, and they wouldn't audition me.
Have you noticed any difference so far since the show began?
Yes. This is the busiest pilot season I've ever had in my life.
Anything you want to tell your fans or viewers out there?
To quote RuPaul: "It's now available on iTunes." I would love for people to download my music on iTunes — it's called "Trouble." Because I'm a big, bad troublemaker.

Emergency response
Life can change for millions of families in an instant: natural disasters take loved ones and the outbreak of war drives families from their homes. When the unthinkable happens, Mercy Corps delivers rapid, lifesaving aid to hard-hit communities and then teams up with them to build back stronger.
We have responded to almost every global natural disaster in the last 20 years, including the Nepal earthquake, Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, the Japan tsunami, the Haiti earthquake, the hunger crisis in the Horn of Africa, and the Indian Ocean tsunami.
Our seasoned emergency responders work through conflict in Gaza and are on the ground in Ukraine, Iraq, South Sudan and the Central African Republic distributing critical supplies and protecting families uprooted by ongoing violence.
We're also working to support nearly 4 million people affected by the crisis in Syria, a long-term refugee crisis and humanitarian disaster with no end in sight. Learn more about our ongoing response to the Syrian crisis ▸

I hired Italia Pavers to install interlocking pavers around my pool. This work was cover under a 2 year warranty. Now the 2 foot retaining wall is pulling away and sinking. I called Italia Pavers and they informed me that I was still covered under warranty but only covers poor workmanship. They would come and fix it for an additional charge. I called two Paving companpies and the informed me that the reason the wall is pulling away and sinking is because it was not installed properly on concrete Sonotube's.
I called Italia Pavers to let them know but they did not answer my calls or return my calls. After calling several times I finally Alex finally answers and tells me that he is just a sales person and that the owner is out of the country but will call me back. I wrote a letter and mailed it but they only have a P.O Box. I have been calling and leaving messages with the receptionist that apparently doesn't know the address where she works.
I have been calling for 5 months now and still nothing. I'm not looking for a refund I just want them to fix to stand by their work and fix the poor workmanship.

I'm using the latest version of Google Analytics for WordPress (by Yoast) and I'm also using Shopp 1.2.3.
I've done a TON of research on this and from what I understand the eCommerce feature in Google Analytics for WordPress used to work with Shopp versions 1.1.X but ever since the 1.2.X versions of Shopp came out the eCommerce tracking feature of Google Analytics for WordPress has stopped working.
I'm not the only one experiencing this issue, it's everyone running Shopp 1.2.X with Google Analytics for WordPress.
Just wanted to see if anyone has come up with a solution for this or if by chance the people at Yoast are aware of this?

Academics are very good, I struggle with some classes because they are more difficult and it's hard to learn such a difficult topic in such a limited amount of class time.
Professors are great very generous although are diverse like the students. Curriculum is easy not over bearing, transitioning was very easy and there was such disbelief in regards to the easiness.
The courses are overall good but the registration process isn't the best. Its hard to get the classes you need in order to graduate on time.
The curriculum seems to be average, but not all aspects of my major are available. The professors seem to be overall good, except a few that should not be teaching.
My major is nursing and the workload is great. I am excited to take the specified nursing classes so that I may be accepted into the nursing program.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
When asked about the academics at Florida Gulf Coast University, most students feel that they are getting a great education. FGCU is a growing university and is only changing for the better. Professors are willing to go above and beyond to help students succeed. Many students are satisfied with their majors and the courses for their majors. Sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming, with the amount of work you have to do, but it's all worth it in the end.
The University is a young school, having only been founded in 1991. Most universities in the state of Florida are 100 years old. For a school to be this young and still have prestige is highly impressive. There are many degree programs and many colleges within the school, but somehow for being so diverse, the University still has a homey-feel about it. The professors are very willing to help in any possible way they can, and they are also very understanding if you have a problem with something and need help. The students are also very willing to help each other. They all realize that finishing a class means accomplishing a goal, and because of that, they help one another.

Taco Tuesday (well actually, Wednesday) cravings struck again recently, and this time we decided to go for shredded chicken tacos with Maui onion and lots of fresh lime juice. This recipe was super easy and just involved a few minutes on the grill and a few minutes in a saute pan. (But if you have some time on your hands, definitely check out our carnitas recipe…totally worth waiting the 4 hours for it to cook!) Read more

It was a balmy summer evening, and I was walking home from the subway along Flatbush Avenue. Just ahead of me was a girl in her early twenties in a pair of shorts. Men started hooting, and one of them began following her down the street and aggressively asking for her number, her name, and a date. She kept walking, and he kept following. I came up next to her and asked if she'd like a walk home. She quickly said yes, and I slid my arm into her's and we walked together. The hooting kept up, but the stalking stopped. After a block I asked if she was ok, and she smiled and said yes.
As upset as I was (and still am), it feels good to be able to do something.

A couple of months ago, I posted a success story on here regarding harassment near my workplace. I've been reading everyone's stories since, and sadly there are so few where the victims are able to feel powerful after an incident.
I've decided to make it a point to share any successful experiences that I have, to hopefully inspire others to keep going, speak up, and take action. I believe that we can make a world of difference together. We really can.
The most recent experience occurred yesterday. This one was pretty hilarious. I was jogging down a main street in Hayward, California. At one point, I was running on a slight incline, enjoying the focus and pace. I heard a bicycle approaching in the street, alongside the sidewalk where I was. I always look when I hear a bike, to make sure the person is paying attention, not attempting to assault me, etc.
When I looked at the rider, he looked back at me in acknowledgement. Then he looked back again. And again. At that point, I asked, "What?" Not in a confrontational way, but as if you had spinach in your teeth and someone continued to stare. The dialogue was as follows:
Me: "What?"
Him: "What?"
Me: "I don't know, man. You're making me uncomfortable right now."
Him: *laughs* "What?"
Me: "Wow, this is really awkward, the way you're looking at me."
Him: "I'm just looking at you, looking to see who you are. This is how I look at all the girls!"
Me: "You know I'm only 16, right?"
Him: *pauses and looks back in a double-take* "…Woooow. Woo, oh boy! Oh…" *throws both hands up and starts riding away with increasing speed*
Me: *laughing* "Yeah that's right, buddy, you just keep on riding!"
He hauled ass out of there like you wouldn't believe. I wish I had recorded his reaction, or even taken a picture. One of the best ones I've seen. I could still hear him in the distance as he was riding away, shaking his head and "woo!"-ing in fear of being caught for his predatory actions. He didn't look back at me once after that!
I had so much positive energy after the incident, that I was able to jog home in half the time it would normally take me. I went home smiling, laughing, in good spirits. Because I took the power back in the situation.
The funny thing is, I'm actually 25. I mean, I'll take the compliment, but when a grown man refers to all human females as "girls" regardless of age, I automatically get the vibe that they're a predator. It's offensive and insulting to women, but in this instance, I used it to my advantage. I dared to be a woman who stepped outside of her house without a man next to her, and I walked away with the power.

I was walking alone in broad daylight along a busy street in downtown Ottawa.
"If you help me out I'll give you free movie passes for a year." A man appeared out of nowhere at my side with these words. I tensed up and started walking faster.
"What are you, a nervous twit?" he said.
"If you're going to talk to me like that, I'm not going to help you," I replied with more rationality than was necessary. I picked up my pace.
"Look at you, you nervous twit! I'm going to get my girlfriend to bang your head in!" He was walking with me now, two meters to my side.
I was horrified and veered away from him. Other pedestrians were in sight now, so he started to turn down a corner. I flipped him off as I continued walking away from him.
"You're fucking ugly!" he yelled. I held my gesture in place for him and the oncoming pedestrians to see as I walked, and as he retreated from our incident back into the rest of the world.

It was a beautiful sunny day in my beach town of Isla Vista, CA, and I decided to go tanning with my boyfriend at Sands Beach, which is a decent walk from our apartment and not actually a part of the town. The beach was nearly deserted, so we walked up into one of the secluded sand dunes to go tanning as we usually do. I took my top off because I hate tan lines and there were hardly any people in sight; also it is impossible for anyone walking on the beach to see what is happening up in the dunes.
After an hour or so of peacefully lying there, my boyfriend looked up to see a scary looking man in his 40s crouching in a bush in a nearby dune and taking pictures of me. He immediately sprung up and chased after the creep, who ran away but was finally caught up to. He claimed to be the neighborhood watch (there is no such thing in Isla Vista) and said he was taking pictures to collect "evidence" of my apparent crime of being topless (a common occurrence at Sands Beach) and when my boyfriend demanded he delete the pictures, the guy made hollow threats to call the cops, tried to run away, threatened my boyfriend, etc.
Finally, my boyfriend had intimidated this sicko enough to convince him to delete the pictures off the camera while he watched, so luckily I don't have to worry about them showing up anywhere. This occurrence is especially unsettling to me after the tragic events that happened here last weekend, and as a women especially, I have never felt less safe in Isla Vista. I hope things get better here soon.
A group of men were on the stoop, drinking and hanging out. I walked past them around 9 PM at night (after dark) after parking my car nearby.
Several men started hooting and making kissing noises. I kept my eyes forward and ignored them. Then one man started following me saying, "Can I talk to you" and "Just give me a minute baby." I hoped he would stop following me at the end of the block, but he didn't.
I turned the corner and continued to walk towards my apartment, feeling increasingly scared. The man followed close behind me for two blocks saying things until he finally gave up and went back to his friends.
I thought I was going to be raped.

I was walking my dog at approximately 11:36 am on a Thursday. A man in his mid twenties approached in a red sedan and whistled quite obnoxiously. It frightened my dog and startled me. I proceeded walking on my route and from another street I could see him circling. He passed me three times. I eventually picked up my dog and ran home.

I walk 2.5 miles home from work almost everyday and there is a man in a white, unmarked work van who passes me each day, driving in either direction. He has yelled everything from "Nice ASS!" "Check out them TITS!" to "Hey I'm talking to you bitch!" Since he passes around the same time everyday, and has been seen driving in both directions, I have reason to believe he drives up and down that section of road looking for me. I have no other route to take home.

A man, late 50s about 5'7″ heavy set, started to verbally harass and follow my friend and I on pacific avenue. He was yelling out rude comments about our clothes while "praising The Lord" for our legs. The wind blew my skirt up and he started whooping and hollering like a child. It was a 95 degree day and of course I was wearing a dress. He followed us from in front of the Del Mar theater to the corner of Taco Bell and we retreated to Saturns Cafe for safety.

I am an employee of a school district, and I frequently travel between all the schools in the district. One day, I was driving from the high school to an elementary school in a residential neighborhood. It was warm, so my windows were down. As I drove past an older man (probably in his 50s), hey shouted "Hey". I ignored him and kept driving. He started to chase after my car until I stopped at a stop sign a few feet ahead of him. He started to scream "Hey bitch, who the hell do you think you are ignoring me? I just wanted to tell you that you're hot". I immediately put up my windows and continued driving to the school. I ran inside, just in case he saw where I parked (the elementary school was visible from where this took place). I also haven't driven in that area with my windows down since, and I get very nervous traveling to that particular elementary school now, where as before I didn't.

I don't have a single story. I have tons of stories. Growing up I learned not to take walks, to never acknowledge people, and pretend to talk on the phone (with 911 already dialed).
I began riding a bike for exercise, as I receive less comments and gestures, although they still happen.
The most recent was when a car came up right alongside me, a man leaned out and seemed to try and grab me while yelling "HEY B****!!!" I wasn't sure what to do, so I kept going and thankfully another car came up, so he had to go back in his lane.
I've had people make offers for me to sell my body, as if I were on auction. I've had people call me names, whistle, etc. In one walk I could have four incidents. I stopped walking to church, because it got too uncomfortable and someone would follow me consistently.
When I go out with my male friend, it is so NICE not to have the comments or be on guard as much. I was shocked the first time walking around the city with him how NO ONE tired anything. It makes me want to have an escort all the time. Which is extremely sad.
I've become to expect the harassment, and am pleasantly surprised when I don't receive any. However, most of the time I get at least some. I don't even bring up all the incidents to people, cause I know they will think they aren't a big deal, but they ARE a big deal.
I wish I knew of a SAFE way of telling the jerks that it is NOT okay. However, I try not to engage, because I don't want it to escalate.

Modern living has made us become "supremely arrogant" in the way we ignore the importance of sleep, leading scientists warn.
The demands of today's 24-hour society mean many people push themselves too far, or "override the clock", in the words of one expert.
Far too many of us bury our heads in the sand over the issue and ignore the health risks of neglecting our sleep, he added.
Sleep: How much are you getting?
Lack of sleep puts the body clock out of sync and can cause severe health problems, such as cancer, heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and obesity.
A project involving scientists from Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Manchester and Surrey universities concluded that the public and governments are failing to take the problem seriously.
The experts, who collaborated for the BBC's Day of the Body Clock programme, found that on average, people get two hours' less sleep a night than 60 years ago. They warned that modern life - and particularly our attachment to computers and hand-held gadgets like tablets and smartphones - means many people are "living against" their natural body clocks, which are biologically geared to rest at night.
Professor Russell Foster, a neuroscientist at the University of Oxford, added: "We are the supremely arrogant species; we feel we can abandon four billion years of evolution and ignore the fact that we have evolved under a light-dark cycle.
"What we do as a species, perhaps uniquely, is override the clock. Long-term acting against the clock can lead to serious health problems."
It is an issue that affects the whole of society, but is particularly acute among teenagers, he said.
Nearly all living things have an internal mechanism known as the circadian rhythm, or body clock, which synchronises bodily functions to the 24-hour pattern of the Earth's rotation.
In humans and other mammals, it is regulated by the senses - most importantly the way the eye perceives light and dark and the way skin feels temperature changes.
The mechanism rules our daily rhythms, including our sleep and waking patterns and metabolism.
But the pressures of modern living mean we are now increasingly working against our clocks and risking long term health problems from metabolic disease.
Professor Charles Czeisler of Harvard University, said smartphones, tablets and computers had high levels of light at the blue end of the spectrum, which hits us "in the sweet spot" for disrupting the human body clock.
"Light is the most powerful synchroniser of your internal biological clock," he said.
"Light exposure, especially short wavelength blue-ish light in the evening, will reset our circadian rhythms to a later hour, postponing the release of the sleep-promoting hormone melatonin and making it more difficult for us to get up in the morning.
"It's a big concern that we're being exposed to much more light, sleeping less and, as a consequence, may suffer from many chronic diseases," Professor Czeisler said.
Separate research published today in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, suggests forcing the body to work overnight may also cause damage to the brain similar to Alzheimer's disease.
US scientists at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, found that rats kept awake at night suffered disturbances in the electrical activity of neurons that are typically seen in dementia. The authors believe the findings may also apply to humans.
Another study, in Sleep Medicine, found women who get less than six hours a night were 65 per cent more likely to have high total cholesterol and 71 per cent more likely to have raised levels of LDL - the so-called 'bad' cholesterol which clogs up arteries around the heart.

Loculus (architecture)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Roman soldier's kit, see Loculus (satchel).
Loculus (Latin, "little place"), plural loculi, is an architectural compartment or niche that houses a body, as in a catacomb, hypogeum, mausoleum or other place of entombment. In classical antiquity, the mouth of the loculus might be closed with a slab,[1] plain, as in the Catacombs of Rome, or sculptural, as in family tombs at Palmyra.

Store employee helped me select the laptop and I wanted to make sure the info I received on the phone matched the experience at the point of sale regarding refunds...especially since I was paying in cash, I wanted to know if there was a problem that I'd be reimbursed in the same manner.
I was told he believed that was the case as long as the purchase price was under $500, but he'd ask the manager to be sure. As I approached the front desk from an angle I could not be seen from until I was right there within hearing range of their conversation, as soon as they saw me they had an awkward look on their faces and began a "new" conversation wherin the salesperson (having been speaking to the Manager for at least a couple minutes prior to my arrival) asked the Manager what the policy was regarding cash refunds.
The Manager informed me that because they did not carry enough cash in the store at any one time (claiming the limit was $350) to guard against robberies), Corporate would have to issue a check that would take at least 2 weeks to reach me.
Since i knew he was lying, as I looked up the store policy on the floor sample of the very laptop I was buying, I said "so each time your store has more than $350 in cash, you send someone to the bank?"...he said "yes, we deposit all cash above the amount of $350 so that we never are in danger of being robbed."
I told him to go ahead and get the laptop and ring it up....
As the gal, Ava, was ringing up the sale, she told me I had been misinformed as to the store's cash refund policy..apparently as she had been privy to the salesperson and manager's conversation that occurred prior to me being in their hearing range, as well as having witnessed the conversation. I thanked her for her honesty and registered the fact I was very disapointed at the way I'd been handled by the other two employees, and that I could not believe they thought they could get away with it.

The OP may not realize it, but he was acting just like someone who was planning to rob the place.
The hushed conversation that the employees were having was very likely to decide if they should call the cops or not.
I'm still waiting to hear about how he was ripped off?
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Yep this report is in the running for the dumbest report ever.
Seriously where the heck is the RipOff. You go in to buy a Laptop and are so concerned about the return policy that you a) Called in advance on the phone, b)Checked it on their laptops, c)Quizzed the Salesperson, d)Sneeked up on the managers. Yet even after you "busted" them you still bought the laptop, because they "thought" they could get away with it. Yea you really showed them didn't you.
What did you expect them to say when you asked if they made a deposit everytime they got over $350?
Perhaps they should have said. "Yea you caught us we never go to the bank to deposit money, by the end of the night we have thousands on hand". They might as well just put a flashing neon sign in the front window saying "Rob Us".
Quite frankly I would not be surprised if they have your picture from their security cameras in the back office just in case they feel that they may need to hand it over to the local police.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#3 Consumer Suggestion
Not a Ripoff
AUTHOR: IntheKnow - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, August 01, 2010POSTED: Sunday, August 01, 2010
Most smaller electronics retailers have a policy like this. This is not Walmart. If you come to the store next morning as the first customer, there would not be enough cash in the drawer for you. what if it was $1000? If you were so concerned about a return, why are you buying the laptop?
No one said that you "couldn't" or "wouldn't" get your money back. You are the one that put up the red flags at this Staples. You made the return of the computer the number one issue - of course the employees had the attennas up.
This is one of the more honest retailers. Not every front-end clerk knows the exact policy but there is a policy with a cash limit.
Use a credit card and this will never be an issue.

Hornets Win on Jackson's Clutch K
Published: Saturday, March 15, 2014 at 1:24 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 15, 2014 at 1:24 a.m.
LAKELAND | With two outs and runners on second and third in the bottom of the seventh, Haines City freshman Zach Jackson struck out David Whann looking on a full count to complete a 3-1 win over the Eagles at George Jenkins Friday night.
Jackson went the distance and struck out four without command of his changeup and curve ball.
"Zach, for a freshman, is way beyond his years," Haines City coach David Schafer said of the young right-hander.
Jackson's win meant a tough-luck loss for Jenkins ace Drew Carlton, who struck out five in six innings of work.
"He's an extremely good pitcher, so we try to make sure that we hit strikes and we try to make sure that we don't let strikes go by," Schafer said. "If they're good pitches, we're going to try to get them. We're not going to wait too long."
The Hornets made contact and took advantage of the Eagles' errors, which proved to be the difference in the game.
"If we made a mistake, they capitalized," George Jenkins coach Chad Crosby said. "If they made a mistake, we didn't capitalize. It's hard to win a game when they capitalize and you don't."
Haines City took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second on an RBI single by Seth Korushack. George Jenkins returned the favor in the bottom of the frame, plating a run on a throwing error by Hornets second baseman Austin Taylor to tie it 1-1.
Keshawn Lynch led off the top of the third reaching on a dropped third strike. The center fielder stole second and came around to score on Tommy Passerello's RBI single to left to put Haines City up 2-1.
"We did a good job tonight of executing when they gave us an extra out, an extra opportunity," Schafer said.
Taylor reached on a fielding error to start the top of the seventh, followed by an Equon Smith double to put runners on first and third with nobody out. Carlton was replaced by Tyler McGhinn.
McGhinn intentionally walked Korushack to load the bases. After a Michael Branche strikeout, Brayan Morales was unable to get a squeeze bunt down and Taylor was tagged out at home.
The Hornets got their third run seconds later on a passed ball.
Crowder doubled and Robert Lopez walked to start the bottom of the seventh, but Jackson retired the next three batters to seal the win.
Haines City 011 000 1 — 3 6 2
George Jenkins 010 000 0 — 1 4 3
WP: Zach Jackson. LP: Drew Carlton. 2B: Equon Smith (HC), Cole Crowder (GJ).
Records: Haines City 8-3, George Jenkins 6-5.

From Booklist
From the 3-D Exploration series, this large-format book offers a highly illustrated introduction to the solar system. Rather than the usual planet-by-planet tour with boxes of fast facts, the book combines a more general approach to the solar system with a few instances of more focused, detailed treatments. For example, Mars is mentioned twice on the double-page spread showing all the planets and in several sentences on the spread featuring the four inner planets. More detail is given in the "Landing on Mars" spread, which features a pop-up image of a Mars Rover ready for action, a paragraph of information, and 10 small, captioned pictures. Nicely designed, the book includes a good mix of photos and original illustrations. While students will prefer more traditional books for research, the five pop-up scenes give this one undeniable appeal for browsing. Grades 4-7. --Carolyn Phelan
About the Author
Ian Graham is an experienced author of illustrated nonfiction books on a wide range of topics, including aviation and spaceflight. In 25 years, he has written more than 200 books and numerous magazine articles.

Heating oil co. should start at zero
Editor, the Record:
The last three times I had oil delivered to my home, only once the meter read .00 before they started pumping it into my tanks. The other two times, the meter read .03, before they started pumping; meaning, on a 200-gallon order, I only got 197 gallons. Just think: If a company did this on, say, 20 deliveries a day, it would keep 60 gallons of your oil, which at $3.70 a gallon times 60 gallons equals a saving of $222 for the oil companies. When you get gas for your car, the meter always reads .00 (state law). Why would it be any different for an oil delivery?

Best Ever Black-Eyed Peas
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 1 hr 30 mins
A Southern Classic! In most Southern homes, black-eyed peas are always served on New Year's Day for good luck. I usually cook these early on New Year's Eve day. That way, if we have guests over for a party that night, I can use part of this basic recipe to make "Texas Caviar" which is a fantastic salsa/dip to eat with tortilla chips. (that recipe follows)
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (16 ounce) package dried black-eyed peas
- 6 cups water
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 ham hocks or 2 cups cooked ham, cut into small cubes
- 1 -2 jalapeno pepper, seeds removed and chopped
- Sort and wash peas; place in a large Dutch oven.
- Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
- Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 1- 1 1/2 hours, or until peas are tender.
Most Helpful
A true Southern classic way of making black-eyed peas. Real comfort food. I used some left over pieces of a pork picnic instead of ham (I already had the leftovers) and used 2 jalapeños to make sure I got some heat. 2 peppers is not hot, just of hint of heat. These were really good served with cornbread and green onions. Thanks, Susie for sharing your recipe.
I would suggest chicken broth over water.
Used a combo of bacon and honey baked ham and omitted the sugar. It came out perfect with so much flavor. Thanks!!

Confident Conversations™ across Kent, Surrey and Sussex Leadership Collaborative
NHS Trusts have been making great strides to improve how employees deal with difficult conversations in the light of the Berwick, Keogh and Francis reports and the Francis follow-up report on whistleblowing, Freedom to Speak Up. In 2013, a staff survey found that 72% of staff felt confident to raise a concern, suggesting there was still a need for training and development in this area.
The Kent, Surrey and Sussex Leadership Collaborative is an authorised leadership delivery partner to the NHS Leadership Academy and operates as the leadership directorate of Health Education England working across Kent, Surrey, Sussex (HEE KSS), commissioning leadership development for NHS organisations within Kent, Surrey and Sussex.
The subject of difficult conversations was further explored at the HEE KSS Sound of the Student and Trainee Voice, an event which ensures the voices of the region's learners and educators from health and social care, allied professionals, support staff and employing organisations, are heard. Participants were asked what the blockers to them using their voice were, identifying a number of reasons including confidence, fear and apathy as to why they might not use their voice.
The KSS Leadership Collaborative commissioned mediation experts The TCM Group to work in collaboration with NHS organisations in the KSS region and develop a one-day workshop called Confident Conversations™, designed specifically for NHS staff to help them identify and respond to issues that are raised, and foster a culture of open communication.
Through a pre-course questionnaire, participants suggested some of the areas they would like the workshop to address, such as:
"helping me feel more confident in having difficult conversations with staff, medical colleagues and even senior management."
"learning tools and techniques which will aid me when faced with difficult situations and when experiencing conflict to ensure the desired outcome is achieved."
Tips in planning how to have a challenging conversation, allowing all parties to leave with dignity, but aims and objectives to be delivered."
The solution
The reception for Confident Conversations™ was overwhelmingly positive. Following an initial pilot, seven open workshops were held and in total, over 200 NHS staff from across the KSS region attended the Confident Conversations™ workshops.
Two expert facilitators from The TCM Group hosted the workshop, providing participants with tools and strategies to manage difficult conversations and negotiate outcomes that would be best for everyone.
Role-plays formed a part of the day, with participants experiencing the point of view of patients, staff, and observers. There were also scenario-based discussions, tailored to the types of situations this particular workforce might face – these scenarios were a reflection of real workplace situations based on the responses to the pre-course questionnaire.
Participants were encouraged to practice 'active listening': a structured form of listening and responding that focuses the attention on the speaker. One of the core techniques in managing difficult conversations is to summarise – as this demonstrates whether someone has really been listening and has understood what the other party has to say. Participants experienced using silence in an emotionally charged situation and the positive effect this could have on managing an emotionally charged situation.
At the end of the workshop, everyone who had attended was provided with a toolkit outlining the various theories they had learnt, with helpful tips on how to manage difficult conversations in the future. This toolkit has been shared with the wider NHS workforce and can be viewed on the KSS Leadership Collaborative's website (http://www.kssleadership.nhs.uk/resources)
The results
Feedback 24 hours after the workshop showed that the majority of attendees felt they had an increase in knowledge of active listening, managing strong emotions and summarising what people had to say.
Three months after the workshops, a further feedback questionnaire was carried out to see how delegates were using the learning and whether it had been retained. Almost half (49%) said that the course had made either a significant impact or very significant impact in the workplace. One participant shared in their questionnaire how a member of her team had become defensive following changes in their work. She was able to utilise tools practised on the workshop, such as listening and summarising to help engage her team member in coming up with solutions to support their shared work.
"I have certainly applied the learning. I'm more aware of how much even a small conversation with colleagues or patients makes a different.
I can be on-call outside usual working hours and it can feel like everyone wants a piece of you at the same time. Patient issues can become more difficult, there are fewer staff and the situation becomes quite stressful.
I've more awareness now of how to prioritise and how to prevent something escalating. I'm more patient, I take a pause before I act and I'm more aware of what I'm saying. It's been very positive."
A CT3 Psychiatry Trainee from a mental health trust.– David Liddle

Our Vision
We want to see a time when all children, including those who struggle with literacy, are given the help they need to learn how to read and write; when children with dyslexia are identified and supported from an early age so that their dyslexia is not a barrier to learning and they are given the self-confidence they need to succeed in whatever they set out to do.
Our Mission
The Driver Youth Trust is a charity dedicated to improving the life chances of children and young people with a focus on those who struggle with literacy, particularly children with dyslexia.
Building Partnerships – We work in partnership with other organisations to help children to access education, build their confidence and realise their goals.
Research – We commission research and campaign for policy change so that all children, including those with dyslexia, get the right support to learn to read and write and reach their full potential. Joining the Dots looks at the impact of recent education reforms on pupils with SEND, while Fish in the Tree asks the question ''Why are we failing children with dyslexia?'.
Drive for Literacy – In partnership with Ark schools, we have developed Drive for Literacy. This is a programme that gives teachers a better understanding of how they can help pupils who struggle with literacy and may be dyslexic. The programme gives them the skill set to make the necessary adjustments to meet the needs of these pupils so they can access the curriculum and experience success.
Why our work is so important
The Driver Youth Trust was founded by Sarah Driver after stumbling upon dyslexia when she married Mark and they had four children together. Sarah very rapidly moved from not really believing in dyslexia to becoming a committed campaigner for improving the chances of young people with special educational needs (SEN), and particularly dyslexia.
