Name: Brady Lail
Position: Pitcher
DOB: August 9, 1993
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 195
Bats: Right
Throws: Right
"I've learned a ton as long as I've been here already," Lail said. "I got some good experience, some great coaches, great players with me.
"I got to go down to the Dominican [Republic] too and I felt like everything we had been working during the season was clicking down there in the Dominican. I'm very happy with what I've accomplished in the first year."
As is the case with nearly every first-year pitcher, especially those coming out of high school, the bulk of his adaptation time was spent tweaking his mechanics. Specifically the Yankees had him work on being more one-directional towards home plate in his delivery and not throwing so much across his body.
"My arm was feeling ten times better [after the mechanical adjustments] and I felt a lot sharper with all of my pitches," he said. "I was just a lot more confident after tweaking that."
He made just five appearances with the Gulf Coast League Yankees, posting a 1.42 ERA and a five to one strikeout to walk ratio in his 12 2/3 innings. But it was during Instructs and Dominican Instructs in particular where he saw some quick advancements in his stuff and control.
"My command was great," he said. "I felt like I could throw any of my pitches in any count. I felt like my ball had great angle on it. It was living down in the zone.
"It wasn't missing up like it was in the summer, it was more down at the knees and had second life. I could throw any of them at any time, it was great."
He saw his big league average fastball begin to top out around 92-93 mph already, which is certainly a welcomed sight, but it was the drastic improvements to his changeup that really turned some heads.
"I have a little arm-side fade which I'm loving because it's the same as my two-seam [fastball]. My sinker is harder obviously so it throws the hitters off a little more.
"I'm happy with everything it's doing; it has that fade, I can command it very well, I can get people off-balance with it. I just feel the progress with that has been very, very, very good this year."
He worked on a lot of different areas in his game in a short period of time. Now that he has his mechanics working better, throwing his fastball with a bit more zip, and having a tone more confidence with his changeup, Lail feels better equipped to handle what will be his first full season coming up in 2013.
"I just want to get up there and have confidence," he said. "I gained 25 pounds in that little bit of time [after signing] after finally getting into a good lifting program so my body is maturing a bit better. I was throwing a bit harder than I was too.
"Right now I just want to do what I was taught this year and just go from there, have confidence and a nobody can stop me [mentality]. I honestly feel if I can have that mindset and I'm doing what I was doing in the Dominican that I can be very successful.
"I just want to keep doing what I've been doing. If I do what I did this year with the improvements that I made I'll be perfectly fine.
"I'll be sitting where they want me, maybe even a little higher than they want me, I'll have that confidence and mindset that I need, I'll keep growing and getting bigger hopefully, and just keep doing what I've been doing. That's all I need to do and stay healthy, and go from there," he concluded.
GCL Yankees
Repertoire. Fastball, Curveball, Changeup.
Fastball. Lail's current velocity levels are more big league average than anything, sitting mostly 89-91 mph with his sinking two-seam fastball and more in the 90-92 mph range with his four-seam fastball. A little Joey Maher-like with his sinker though, it shows good fade and some good control for such a young pitcher. He has already gotten physically stronger in a short period of time, adding nearly 25 pounds since he first signed, and there's room to fill out even more, suggesting he could throw even harder down the road.
Other Pitches. Lail's bread and butter secondary pitch is technically a power knuckle-curveball that serves as his main strikeout pitch. It's more of a slurvy pitch, however, one that dives both down and away from right-handed batters in almost a slider-like fashion. It doesn't get true 12-to-6 action. It's an above average pitch right now that has plus potential. His changeup has a come a very long way in a short period of time, going from nearly non-existent to an average big league offering in less than a couple of months. There's no telling how far it could continue to develop though as he continues to get a better feel for it.
Pitching. Lail is a bit of a rarity for such a young pitcher because he has the mentality to pitch to contact earlier in the counts with his sinking fastball-changeup combination, but is also well equipped to go for the kill with his curveball when he gets ahead in the count. He shows an ability to make quick adjustments, not only in his game but with his surroundings too. He adapts very well. Like most young pitchers, however, he's only as good as his mechanics and he still has a lot to learn with the nuances of fielding his position and holding runners.
Projection. Lail has significant upside. As of right now, given his average velocity range with his fastball, he best projects as a long-term middle to back-end starting pitcher but there's a whole lot of "what ifs" with him too that could potentially give him an even higher ceiling if things break right. He shows the same plus breaking ball potential as Bryan Mitchell and a similar body type that could continue to get stronger each passing year. Should that happen he could morph himself into that kind of high ceiling pitcher if he's able to add more velocity to his fastball. Until that time he's more of a Joey Maher, Bryan Mitchell hybrid whose ceiling falls somewhere in the middle of the two.
ETA. N/A. Lail is destined for the short-season leagues again in 2013, most likely with the Gulf Coast League Yankees again. However, his game is coming together pretty quickly and his potential is strong enough that it isn't beyond the realm of possibility that he could force his way to Staten Island with a strong showing in Extended Spring Training.

Rachel Held Evans has written a wonderful piece for the CNN Belief blog on why Millennials are leaving our churches.It has been in heavy rotation on the social media circuits the last couple of days, but in case you haven't seen it yet, do stop and read it now.From my experience talking to millennials in churches and colleges, I think Rachel has hit the nail on the head.

Here's a new kid on the block from the good whiskey folks at Buffalo Trace: Charter (aka Old Charter) Bourbon, bottled at 101 proof and retro top to bottom in its gold-trmmed, angular-designed bottle.
No age statement on the label, which is the norm for a $24 bottle of whiskey. In the glass, it's very pleasant: This is a simple Bourbon like a higher-proof, trickier Jim Beam, full of the spirit's characteristic vanilla sweetness, tempered with heat. The finish is small and short, as Charter 101 fades away a bit too quickly.
Try it with water for an easier time at picking out some of the herbal flavors, but it's the sweetness that will stick with you even after the finish has faded.
I've heard Charter 101 can be found for as little as $20. $24 to $30 is more common, and while that puts it a cut above the cheapest non-rotgut whiskeys out there (Beam can be had for $13 a bottle), it's still a good deal in a world of $50-plus spirits.
Give it a try if you manage to find it. It's dandy in a Manhattan or other mixed drink and worth a try on its own or on the rocks.

Karla's Korner: The Importance of Persistence
The Importance of Persistence
The Importance of Persistence….
It's March and that means it is a pretty serious time for college basketball. Being the parent of a college student I find myself drawn to games that involve my daughter's college team but do not really follow college sports as closely as my husband or other family and friends do. As those around me pick their favorites, fill out brackets and sneak peeks at smart phones, televisions or games streamed online during the middle of the work day I have noticed that there are no guarantees. When the "madness" started last week I began to take note that there were some pretty big upsets on the court that left some scratching their heads and wondering how a less than popular team comes out on top of a bigger well known team. What is it that is making these smaller less notable teams wind up with victories advancing their chances at the big trophy in the end? Knowing that chance and luck sometimes play a big part in basketball and other games in life I find myself wondering if the "underdog" often finds victory because of persistence; they choose not to give up.
When the recent basketball madness started one of the first examples of upset arose when Ohio State lost their first game to the University of Dayton; a lesser known school. Social media was all a buzz about brackets being busted and how the smaller school just got lucky. Could it be the smaller team got lucky or is it something else? Could persistence be a key factor in victory? Unable to produce a concrete answer about these games I can't help but cheer for the underdog and hope that their persistence and never give up attitude takes them to the top.
This week I read a quote that made me think how important it is to push through the tough times in our lives; "A river cuts through a rock not because of its power but its persistence". Think about it, a small persistent stream of water has the ability to cut through layers of hard rock simply because it keeps going. There is no power in water itself, but the more it flows over the rock it begins to wear the rock away creating a cavern or in some cases a canyon. Relating this concept to life it's easy to find examples of how persistence wins over power. One example of such persistence is the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. In 1883, a creative engineer named John Roebling was inspired by an idea to build a spectacular bridge connecting New York with the Long Island. However bridge building experts throughout the world thought that this was an impossible feat and told Roebling to forget the idea. It just could not be done. It was not practical. After much persistence Roebling and his engineer son Washington began working together to build the bridge. Not long after the work began a tragic accident took Roebling's life and injured Washington causing him to lose his ability to walk or talk. Refusing to give up Washington spent days on end tapping out the instructions on his wife's arm in a special code so that the project could be completed 13 years later. Because of persistence the Brooklyn Bridge became a reality; one that might not have happened if Washington Roebling had given up.
Whatever challenges we face in life we must consider the power in persistence the water has over the rock. Keeping in mind that moving forward is vital to making our dreams a reality, just like Washington Roebling tapping out his instructions to build a great bridge. In closing I am reminded of yet another quote by Roman poet Ovid: "Dripping water hollows out stone, not through force but through persistence." I encourage you to be the flowing water in your life's work, pushing through to achieve your greatest dreams.
I am proud to introduce a new column to Madame Deals! I think we all need a touch point a place we can go to be inspired.

Baccarat is probably one of the most challenging casino games that has been around for many centuries. It is mostly enjoyed by high rollers due to the life changing payouts that are up for grabs.
Baccarat follows pursuit of card games such as Blackjack, however, it does not feature the element of skill. One thing many players do not know about the game is that it is featured in numerous films. One film that made the game very popular is the James Bond, Casino Royale where Mr Bond found himself constantly at a Baccarat table.
Baccarat is played around a table, with numbered seats. The numbered seats help the dealer keep track on the buy-ins. There is no number 13 seat, and this is most likely for superstitious reasons. The game is played with between six and eight standard decks of 52 cards, depending on the variant participants choose to play. Each deck is shuffled before a new round starts.
Before, the round begins, players will be required to place their bets. In Baccarat, casino patrons can bet on either the dealer or player to have the higher hand.
Once players have placed their bets, both the dealer and player will be dealt two cards, one at a time starting with the player. These are the only cards dealt, and the outcome is based purely on the outcome of these two cards.
Third card rule. In some instances the dealer and players may receive a third card. The number one rule is learning about when the third card should be dealt or not.
For the player, this rule is applied if his hand total is between 0 and 5.
However, it is slightly more complex for the dealer. The banker will be given a third card based on what was drawn and the following conditions:
The object of the game is to choose who will have the winning hand, the dealer or banker. To have a winning hand the casino patron must have a hand total equal to or as close to 9 as possible.
One of our hints to you is that when you play online Baccarat at Golden Riviera Casino, you do not have to worry about calculating your hand total. That is what our casino software is for.
Play the best game of baccarat at Golden Riviera Casino, where you will find Canada's top online baccarat tables. Baccarat can be a very tricky game when it comes to betting with these top hints and tricks, you will not be left wondering what to do next. Develop strategies that work for your game style with these tips and you won't want to play anywhere else.

Photo of the Day: A Guy Dropped His Phone at a Safari Park . . . and an Elephant Took a Selfie
Our SELFIE OBSESSION has now spread to the animal kingdom. And frankly that's sad . . . because they should know better.
23-year-old Scott Brierley was driving through a safari park in Worcestershire, England recently, and accidentally dropped his cell phone out of the car while he was trying to take a selfie with some elephants.
Park officials told him to stay inside the car, but they were eventually able to get the phone back and return it to Scott. And when he went through his photos later on, he found one of the ELEPHANTS had taken a SELFIE on it. Seriously.
It makes sense . . . Scott was taking photos when he dropped it, the camera app was probably still open, and an ELEPHANT touched the screen with its trunk. Apparently it wandered over thinking the phone might be food.
As far as we know, this is the FIRST time an elephant has ever taken a selfie. That's a fairly useless milestone, but whatever.
(Here's the elephant's selfie, plus one Scott took with the elephant in the background earlier.)

Tory Burch's Resort 2012 Collection 2011-06-16 10:32:06
Tory Burch Divulges Resort 2012 Inspiration, Her Dream Shoot, and Summer Essentials
What's the strangest thing in Tory's bag? Where is her favorite place to go on vacation (hint: it's not in the US)? What dress would she live in all Summer? And most importantly, what would be her dream photo shoot for her Resort 2012 lookbook? These were the pressing questions on our mind as we caught up with Tory Burch on the heels of her Resort 2012 collection debut, which was inspired by the rich colors of the American Southwest. The fashion designer has become a massive force in the fashion industry in a rather short amount of time, creating loyal followers not only for the now ubiquitous Reva flat, but for her bold colors, prints, and easy silhouettes. She's also launched her full ecommerce Tory Burch website; produces the entertaining Tory Blog, and a tumbler site, Torypedia. Building on our Tory-fascination, we found out where Tory loves to kick back on vacation, what bag she takes, the dress she would live in (hint — she's wearing it in one of the pics at left), who would be in her dream shoot, and her inspiration behind resort — yup, we've got a look at her inspiration board.

Just freshly moved to Saskatoon .... It's been a while since I was on here, , but I met some fantastic people here before (and a few not so fantastic ones, of course).
A bit about me: My career is working with numbers, plotting drawings, and digging tunnels. I am a seeker of truth, a searcher of adventure, and a mediocre cook (not gonna lie lol). Recently arrived back from a trip to central America, which I discovered that it's all about the journey and not the destination. I have been successful on here finding someone who enjoys a good conversation about people, relationships, what makes you tick, what makes me tick, anything interesting along those lines - every one has a story that has truly defined who they are. What is yours? I take a lot of pride in living and eating healthy, and stay very active with hockey, running, swimming, hiking, and working out. But must confess I am a massive sucker for hot wings - so if we go out, I may need you to guide me to the salad bar if I'm to keep my waistline nice and trim :) Oh! I am part ginger, so you have been forwarned ;)

Peter W.wrote a review of Nitro Select TLS Snowboard Boot - Men's on July 29, 2009
crackin' boots
these boots fit true to size.
For example, everyone has a pair of cons All-stars yea?
Well I like 10.5s in those but I'm probably truly 11s and I get those when I can't get any 10.5s
These 10.5 Nitros are tight on my toes. I took the inner sole out of the liner and rode like that for 2 days then put it back in. They are gonna be fine and I like it that way and can put up with the initial jam to get that boot fit I love.
But unless you like the super-tight toe squash, there is probably no need to drop that half-size here.
Great support, good details and the right amount of flex. Great Freeride boot and TLS system is easy enough to get tight. I heard a couple scary sounds but no breaks. Might get a spare lace just in case cos it's a little daunting pulling from the same spot each time...
Can't compare them to anything really cos my last boots survived 8years so of course these feel like a Rolls Royce.

I'm guessing if it's one-wash, then I shouldn't have to worry about shrinkage in the length?

Paul Bartolotta prepares to battle Mario Batali
Bartolotta Restaurant Group's John Wise tells us that Paul Bartolotta does battle with his friend Mario Batali Sunday at 8 p.m. on the Food Network's "Iron Chef America."
When the OnMilwaukee.com staff visited Bartolotta in his Las Vegas restaurant last year, none other than Batali was planted at the restaurant's bar -- in trademark Crocs -- enjoying a drink.
Wise says that Bartolotta's Chef Adam Siegel will make his national debut on the program as an assistant to Bartolotta.
"Speaking of Adam," adds Wise, "one week from 'Iron Chef' finds him in New York walking the red carpet at the James Beard Awards, where he is nominated for the second time for Best Chef Midwest. Joining Adam and his wife will be a contingent of Bartolotta folks cheering him on."

Fairytale - Poem by Dama Tristeza
Why love? Why hate?
Does it last?
No, that's fate.
'I love you! I love you! '
Words I don't wanna hear.
This bullsh*t is already hurting my ears.
I thought I'd be smart;
I'm a fool like the rest...
Should've known a guy's brain resides in his pants.
So I'm a bit bitter;
Can't deny what's true,
I suppose I've lost most my mental youth.
It just seems to me,
After all of that time:
Is anyone truly worth all the crying?
I guess I just don't wanna waste all my youth
Waiting for a fairytale that'll never come true......

A MAN has been jailed for more than two years after pleading guilty to producing cannabis at his High Wycombe home.
Thong Van Ngo, 26, was sentenced to 26 months imprisonment at Aylesbury Crown Court last Tuesday. He pleaded guilty to producing a controlled Class B drug.
Thames Valley Police officers raided his home in Green Hill on January 5 and discovered 413 cannabis plants, including 117 seedlings.
Ngo was arrested at the property and charged the following day.
Investigating officer Det Con Chris Hatton said: "We are committed to tackling drugs in the Thames Valley.
"We rely on the public reporting these offences to us and so this proves that if you tell us about drug activity in your area, we will act on it and we will bring the offenders to justice."

When you're off the beaten path — or at least an hour away from the nearest interstate — and your ambitions of being a major player in college football have been thwarted despite on-the-field success and in-the-stands support, you tend to approach things with a chip on your shoulder.
At least that's the case for East Carolina, which meets Louisiana-Lafayette in Saturday's New Orleans Bowl in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
"A lot of people overlook us as a school and as a football team," sophomore receiver Justin Hardy said Thursday. "So basically we look on ourselves as underdogs. We may be in a small city, but our fan support is great, and that's what makes us good."
This season, when the Pirates went 8-4 and played no marquee nonconference opponents at home, they averaged 47,013, near capacity in 50,000-seat Dowdy-Ficklin Stadium, which was expanded by 7,000 in 2010 to meet fan demand.
That number is the most of any school from the six non-AQ conferences by almost 12,000 over Boise State. (Independent BYU averaged 61,940.) Fellow Conference USA and future Big East colleague Central Florida is third at 34,608.
"You go around Conference USA, and you don't see anything like what we have," junior linebacker Derrell Johnson said. "If we have a 7 p.m. game, our fans are out tailgating by noon. We just have a great atmosphere at our games. That and winning ought to put us more on the map."
And therein lies part of East Carolina's inferiority complex.
Despite a long campaign for Big East membership — the ACC wasn't going to happen for a number of reasons — the school had to watch as Central Florida, Memphis, Houston and SMU received Big East invites a year ago before its finally came through last month.
And that was only a partial offer: football only. Tulane, whose membership was announced on the same day, was given a full ride.
The reason? All of the aforementioned schools are in major metropolitan areas.
Greenville, N.C., home of the Pirates, has a population of 84,554 — certainly not insignificant but far less than the Big East's big city image, one that likely will change now that the seven Catholic non-football schools have announced their intentions to leave by 2015.
That could result in East Carolina's other sports eventually being included in the Big East. As of now, the school has no home in other sports after next year.
"We can hold our own in basketball," said football coach Ruffin McNeill, pointing out that ECU recently lost by six points at North Carolina. "But we understand why the things were the way they were. We can only do our part by being the best we can in football."
The Pirates do that. This is their fifth bowl appearance in the past six years.
McNeill is a native of Lumberton, N.C., about 100 miles southeast of Greenville but still east of Interstate 95, the highway that separates Greenville from the state's more populous regions.
"We're the only major school east of I-95," McNeill said. "That's why we have the kind of support we do. And we're expanding our influence over to the western side and into Virginia, too. The Big East membership can only help with that."
The Pirates, who have traditionally recruited Florida well, have branched out into other areas. Quarterback Shane Carden is from Houston but had connections to some of the staff when they were assistants at Texas Tech.
"I didn't know where East Carolina was," he said. "But I liked the offense because it was what they ran at Texas Tech and, when I took my official visit, I really liked the school and the area.
"The whole town revolves around the team. You're not going to get the chance to play at many places like that."

Posted on » 18 March 2013
MANAMA: Bahrain Middle East Bank (BMB) yesterday announced the full repayment of a $13 million debt obligation - including interest of $1.4m.
The loan was originally obtained by the bank during 2003/2004 and later rescheduled by the present management as part of its restructuring process in 2010/2011.
The repayment takes total aggregate creditor obligations honoured - post restructuring - to a staggering $43m.
"We are very pleased to have been able to successfully honour all creditor obligations, including those deemed complete irrecoverable despite the many challenges, including - amongst other, a difficult market environment that has witnessed a global financial meltdown, an European debt crises and unprecedented market volatility that followed," said BMB chief executive Akbar Habib.
"With all prior period residuals now in effect neutralised and come to a close, this marks the successful conclusion to phase I of the bank's restructuring process - forming an integral part of its 'five year' strategic plan."
The restructuring process that started in 2009 has led the bank into a territory previously 'unchartered' in its three decade old history with a model now multi-dimensional, diverse and primarily in-house driven, with financial obligations currently standing at an 'all-time low' and approximately 90 per cent lesser since the commencement of restructuring,
and cost efficiencies at an 'all-time high', '50pc lesser' on a year on year basis relative to the pre-restructuring period with a combined $20m cumulative expense savings realised since.
"In addition, in the four year period ended, the bank has also successfully distributed realised proceeds of $20.7m to its co-investors," Mr Habib said.
"The bank at present is well positioned to scale new heights, and depending on the resources available which would have a direct impact on the depth and breadth of its growth, is well geared to realise its true

Strip Joints and Taco Bell: Five Worst Places to Take a Date on Valentine's Day
We at Short Order take great pleasure in offering you the top options for Valentine's Day and the most affordable ones, too. But what we really get a kick out of is giving you the worst options - because those are often the most insane, hilarious, and outright brilliant.
We don't discourage doing something "different" on V-Day with your sweetheart - in fact, we're all for it. Besides, doesn't it all boil down to what gets you in the sack that night?
Behold the five worst places to take a date on Valentine's Day. If he or she still loves you by the end of these five dates, you've got yourself a real keeper.
5. A strip club
Hey, listen, everyone likes a gal who isn't afraid to be around booby tassels and dollar-bill-shooting crevices. But when it comes to Valentine's Day date night... rules are rules. It's kind of an unspoken rule that you just don't step within 15 feet of Candy Heart and her stripper sisters. The strip joint isn't the place for you and the potential mother of your children. Leave that for your buddy's bachelor party in Vegas.
4. All you can eat Chinese buffet
Don't get it wrong -- we love us some good lo mein and unlimited sweet tea, just not on what's supposed to be the most romantic night of the year. Really, guys? The worst part about this option is that it's probably not too far off the last minute panic solution list. Don't do it. Unless of course, you just don't like her. In that case, you eat - you go home.

Martyn Lawrence Bullard may have taken London style to Hollywood, but, says the Chislehurst-born interior designer to the stars, "London is still the decorating capital of the world".
The flamboyant 46-year-old comes to London at least once a month to track down the latest trends and truffle out the best furniture, lighting and accessories for his A-list Hollywood clientele, including Elton John and David Furnish, Cher, Eva Mendes, Nicki Minaj, Tommy and Hilfiger. He hires a car for a few days and visits his favourite dealers and haunts, from Alfies Antiques Market, Guinevere and Liberty, to Bermondsey Market on a Friday and Portobello on a Saturday.
"Everyone wants the Seventies vibe at the moment because it's so fun to live with. It feels really fresh again. Lacquered furniture, Lucite and brass. The lines are simple but have beautiful finishes," he says. He's just been to see the Bowie retrospective at the V&A. "I was inspired by the colour combinations of the costumes," he says, and agrees that it, together with a resurgence in disco glam, has helped reignite people's interest in that era.
Elton John and David Furnish commissioned him to do their LA apartment with "a Seventies Boogie Nights feel". He adds: "They really understand interior design. They're also great dads and really amazing with their kids."
For Jimmy Choo founder Tamara Mellon's Notting Hill home he's stencilled leopard-print onto rugs and embellished furniture with mixed metal details to look like the hardware on handbags. "And I'm predicting the next big colours are going to be solid strong sunshine orange and jewel-bright emerald green, which were both used a lot in the Eighties."
The ascent from adolescent stallholder selling bric-a-brac at Greenwich Market to Hollywood's most in-demand decorator — with a successful interiors brand, a US TV reality show called Million Dollar Decorators and a new six-part TV series called Hollywood Me — began when Lawrence Bullard went to Hollywood at the age of 21, hoping to become an actor.
He eventually landed a small part in a movie and cannily invited the producer and his girlfriend to dinner. "I'd rented this tiny house and decorated it with things from the local Santa Monica flea market," he says. "I'd done it in London style, with the British colonial thing all mixed up. They loved it and asked me to decorate their offices. Nine months later I was on the cover of six magazines around the world and immediately started getting calls."
Today he lives with his partner of six years, TV and film producer Michael Green, in a Twenties Mediterranean-style villa in the Hollywood Hills. Built by Rudolf Valentino, the actress Gloria Swanson once lived there, as did William Faulkner, but it now bears his own plush signature style. "I decorated the house using a mix of English club chairs, European antiques and modern photography. But I also use my house as my palette and change the fabrics depending on what I'm designing. After all, one's home is a calling card. I'm not selling interiors, I'm selling a lifestyle — and I've built my entire career on being a London boy in Hollywood."
Do he and Green ever fall out over colour schemes?
"No, we never row because he knows there are no decorative discussions. He was allowed to move in with a toothbrush, which was yellow, and I had to replace it with a black one because it wouldn't go with my bathroom," he replies, not altogether joking.
He also admits to getting M&S online food delivered to his door — "for horseradish, curry powder and all the other English things I love" — and to eating baked beans on toast for breakfast, much to everyone else's horror.
His series, Hollywood Me, will probably launch him over here. His camp manner, exuberant dress sense and deep voice all make him instantly watchable, as we see him giving English suburban homes dramatic Hollywood-style makeovers on a shoestring while the unsuspecting homeowners are dispatched to LA on shopping sprees with Sharon Osbourne and LaToya Jackson.
"I had a limited budget so I had to shop at high street stores in and around London. I was amazed at what I found. It's not that I'm a snob, I just didn't expect to find this stuff there. I found beautiful Murano-look glass vases at Homesense for £10-£15 but I wouldn't have blinked if they'd had a £500 tag on them. And Julien Macdonald's leopard print bedlinen at Debenhams is amazing. I don't usually go to BHS looking for things for my clients but I will do now." Lawrence Bullard has already been asked to collaborate with one of the big high-street chains (he can't say which), so even those of us who are not Hollywood A-listers can expect to see a lot more of him soon.
Hollywood Me begins on Wednesday June 19 at 8pm on Channel 4.

Community finishes North Huntingdon boy's Scout project
The sun broke through bare tree branches covering a North Huntingdon park trail as dozens of volunteers hammered away and carefully measured wooden planks cut on a chilly Saturday morning.
It was supposed to be the culmination of Michael Sweeney Jr.'s journey to achieve the Eagle Scout rank, but the 17-year-old Norwin High School senior never had the chance to build the fence that was his project.
Volunteers joined members of Boy Scout Troop 252 to complete the fence project at Braddock's Trail in North Huntingdon on Saturday morning. Sweeney became ill and died Sept. 8 before he could complete it. His death appeared to be natural, officials said.
"It's important to finish it in his honor," said Hunter McGowan, 17, a Boy Scout and friend of Sweeney. "It's important to do it for him and his family."
Some volunteers took rakes to clear away leaves from the walking trail. Others worked in the dirt to anchor posts for the 100-foot-long split-rail fence along the trail that edges close to a cliff.
The elder Michael Sweeney stood back, watching the progress on his son's project.
"I'm at a loss for words right now," Sweeney, of North Huntingdon, said. "It's not just the Scouts showing up; it's the shop teachers. It means a lot to me to see those people coming out to support him."
The project combined two things friends say Sweeney loved — woodworking and being outside.
"He would have been able to do this," Bob Shuber, a technical-education teacher at Norwin High School said.
Shuber, who taught Sweeney woodworking skills from ninth to the 12th grade, said the teen would take his lunch down to the shop room just so he could spend time there.
"He liked working with his hands," Shuber said. "He wanted to learn the trade."
All the materials from the project were donated from local businesses. Many people, including other Boy Scout Troops, showed up to help with construction, said Don Brill, an assistant Scout leader.
"It's extremely heartwarming," he said. "Mike was a fantastic kid, everything a Scout should be."
Brill, along with other Scout leaders, are working to finish the paperwork with the national Boy Scouts of America office so that Sweeney will be approved for the Eagle Scout rank posthumously.

Gas prices continue their annual spring spike
Published: Monday, March 17, 2014 at 10:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 17, 2014 at 10:30 a.m.
Drivers today are paying more for gasoline than they have in nearly six months, according to oil analysts.
In September, the national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded peaked at $3.59. On Monday, the average price was $3.52.
"Prices usually peak in the spring," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA – The Auto Club Group. "It would not be a surprise to see a continued upward trend throughout the next 30 days."
In early 2011, the national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded peaked in May at $3.98. The peak price was $3.94 in April 2012 and $3.78 in February 2013. Last year, prices fell 13 cents throughout the month after an unusual February peak.
Typical spring factors are to blame for the price hike including seasonal maintenance and the fuel blend switch. Rising demand also becomes a factor with Spring Break and daylight savings time, which offers motorists an extra hour to run errands.
Monday's national average for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline is $3.52, 3 cents more than last week. Florida's average of $3.54 rose 8 cents from last week, while Georgia's average of $3.34 rose 2 cents.
In Gainesville, the average price on Monday was $3.60, up from last week's $3.51, according to the website GasBuddy.com. In Ocala, the average was $3.56, up 10 cents from last week.

42 U.S. Code § 669b - Grants to States for access and visitation programs
The Administration for Children and Families shall make grants under this section to enable States to establish and administer programs to support and facilitate noncustodial parents' access to and visitation of their children, by means of activities including mediation (both voluntary and mandatory), counseling, education, development of parenting plans, visitation enforcement (including monitoring, supervision and neutral drop-off and pickup), and development of guidelines for visitation and alternative custody arrangements.
The allotment of a State for a fiscal year is the amount that bears the same ratio to $10,000,000 for grants under this section for the fiscal year as the number of children in the State living with only 1 biological parent bears to the total number of such children in all States.
A State to which a grant is made under this section may not use the grant to supplant expenditures by the State for activities specified in subsection (a), but shall use the grant to supplement such expenditures at a level at least equal to the level of such expenditures for fiscal year 1995.
For effective date of section, see section 395(a)–(c) of Pub. L. 104–193, set out as an Effective Date of 1996 Amendment note under section 654 of this title.

News Release
For Immediate Release
July 8, 2013
Susan G. Morrell, Senior Assistant Attorney General
(603) 231-1585
New Hampshire Attorney General Joseph A. Foster, New Hampshire State Police Colonel Robert C. Quinn, Charlestown Police Chief Ed Smith, and Claremont Police Chief Alexander Scott announce that an arrest warrant has been issued for James Robarge on one count of Reckless Second Degree Murder. The charge alleges that James Robarge recklessly caused the death of his wife, Kelly Robarge (42) on June 27, 2013, in Charlestown, New Hampshire by inflicting trauma to her body, under circumstances manifesting an extreme indifference to the value of human life.
James Robarge is currently incarcerated at the Southern State Correctional Facility in Springfield, Vermont on unrelated motor vehicle charges. Vermont State Police have charged Robarge with being a fugitive from justice and he will be arraigned on that charge in Windham District Court in Brattleboro, Vermont at 12:30 or 1:00 pm today. This will initiate the extradition process to return Robarge to New Hampshire to face the murder charge.
Kelly Robarge disappeared under suspicious circumstances on June 27, 2013. An extensive search for her body began that day and ended on July 6, when members of the Fish and Game Department found her in the woods off of Britton Road in Unity, New Hampshire. Deputy Chief Medical Examiner, Dr. Duval confirmed the identity of the body at autopsy today. Dr. Duval also determined that the cause of Kelly Robarge's death was homicidal violence by undetermined means. The manner of her death was determined to be homicide.
The investigation is continuing.

According to a Congressional Services Report, the surge in firearms and ammunition sales has generated record tax revenues dedicated to wildlife restoration.
The report reveals that the excise taxes on firearms, ammunition and archery equipment collected in FY2012 totaled $555.3 million. This is up from $388.2 million in FY2011, an increase of approximately 43 percent.
The previous single-year record was $474 million in 2010.
"Through an excise tax on firearms and ammunition, such sales have a marked beneficial effect on funding for state wildlife programs through the Wildlife Restoration Program," the introduction of the report states.
The Wildlife Restoration Program, aka Pittman-Robertson (P-R), uses proceeds from the federal excise tax to fund grants to states and territories for projects that will benefit wildlife resources, including hunter education programs.
The P-R Act was enacted in 1937 but the excise tax has been collected since 1919. Since its inception, the program has collected over $7 billion in revenues.
The excise tax is collected by the wholesaler and is set as follows:
- 10% of wholesale price on pistols/revolvers
- 11% of wholesale price for other firearms, and shells or cartridges
- 11% on archery equipment
Approximately 31% of the funds are collected from the sales of pistols and revolvers, 37% from other firearms and 31% from ammunition, according to the report.
The revenues collected from the tax go into an account called the Wildlife Restoration Fund which is administered by the Fish and Wildlife Service.
The money is distributed to each state according to a formula which includes $8 million for Enhanced Hunter Education and $3 million to supplement projects that involve cooperation between states. One-half of the tax collected on pistols, revolvers, bows and arrows is set aside for Basic Hunter Education.
"With reports of surges in gun sales due to current controversies over gun rights and gun-related violence, substantially more funds seem likely to be available in FY2014," the report states.

About the Book
Growing up as a Barry Goldwater Young Republican didn't keep this 20-year old college student from calling, writing, and simply bugging everyone in Lyndon Johnson's life to death to get an invitation to the dedication of the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library Dedication. Armed with a Kodak instamatic and Polaroid 1-minute camera Ron Wade records his memories with pictures of the historic dedication of the LBJ Library Dedication in Austin, Texas. This was at the time of the Vietnam War and Richard Nixon was President. Wade paints a portrait of anti-Vietnam War drumbeats in the distance as the most important movers and shakers in the United States gathered to honor one giant Texan, Lyndon B. Johnson.

About the Creator
Ronald E. Wade was born in Gilmer, Upshur County, Texas, the son of Ellis W.Wade and Rosedyne Langford Wade. As a child Ron would sit at the feet of his grandparents and great-grandparents and listen to family history. At age 17 Ron wrote his first book, A Pioneer Southern Family Life published by the Texian Press of Waco, Texas recording all of the family lore he had meticulously recorded. He published a second book The Langford Legacy in 1983 also by the Texian Press. As the "family historian" members of the family gave Ron fascinating family correspondence, photographs, records and artifacts which he carefully preserved and donated in 2005 to the East Texas Research Center at Stephen F. Austin University. A lifetime in politics led to friendships with many U.S. Presidents including close relationships with both Presidents Bush. His wife Laura and their 2 children live in Longview, Texas where he has built an exact replica of the White House Oval Office at his home.

Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his 'I Have A Dream' speech on August 28, 1963. Three months later the first episode of Dr.Who aired.
FORTY SEVEN YEARS LATER we finally have a black president and Dr.Who is still on the air. You'd have to watch nearly five decades worth of episodes to get caught up. Can you imagine sitting down and trying to watch that much ancient British television? The first episodes weren't even in color.
"Oh dear, some old black and white British social problem seems to be rearing its ugly head. I guess this is what this show will be about because computers haven't even been invented yet."
I like Christopher Eccleston's modern Dr.Who- he looks like a jug eared Roman senator. He travels around time and space in a blue police box with the lovely Billie Piper, who plays his companion Rose.
Speaking of beautiful women in Doctor Who episodes, a friend of mine who was a fan of the show as a young man in the 80's told me he horrified a female Doctor Who fan by penning an erotic tale featuring The Doctor and his former companion Leela entitled "Space Spurts". The contents of 'Space Spurts' are lost to time, but the title lives on in my head every time I see a multicolored scarf or an alien with an erection.
Eccleston's Doctor goes head to head against his most hated enemy—the Daleks. The Daleks are robotic creatures that look like big vacuums and they kill people with electric prods that resemble plungers. I guess some Doctor Who writer back in the sixties got attacked by a maid once.
The Daleks yell "EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!" in a grating metallic voice before they kill people. What if they wanted to sneak up on Doctor Who? They should be able to whisper it, too.
In one episode a Dalek's outer shell gets opened up and it turns out there's a slimy octopus inside. I bet it smells pretty bad in there- imagine if you wore a big metal vacuum cleaner chasing Doctor Who around and never took it off, just rolling around poking your death plunger at everything.
Also, there are these aliens that look like big babies with giant claws and they wear people's skin as disguises. They have this big plan to take over the British government (just throw some of their tea into a harbor, am I right America?). I thought it was odd that they couldn't wait to take off their human skin costumes so they could run around and kill people. Every five minutes one of them is sneaking off into a side room and unzipping their foreheads and killing another human. That's like removing your whole Halloween costume just to smoke a cigarette.
In this season Eccleston's Doctor meets Captain Jack Harkness from Torchwood for the first time. In one episode Harkness looks like he tried to dress like Han Solo but ended up getting a part as an extra in the musical Grease and just modified the outfit a little. Good thing they started dressing him in that military surplus coat, or it would have been hard to take him seriously on Torchwood.
When Christopher Eccleston's Doctor started to get freaky with TARDIS energy (not an excerpt from "Space Spurts" I assure you) and turns into David Tennant's Doctor, I was sad to see him go. In fact I was like "What the hell no way am I going to like this new Doctor Who!"
Five minutes later I was streaming the second season of Doctor Who on Netflix, Eccleston's big ears and leather jacket a distant memory, cheering David Tennant and being like "Yeah I love this new Doctor Who!"

The Harry and Jeannette Weinberg Foundation, one of the largest private foundations in the United States, has awarded a Family and Informal Caregiver Support Program grant to support the creation of a Sacramento Asian Pacific Islander (API) Dementia Care Network, a joint project of the Asian Community Center of Sacramento (ACC), the Alzheimer's Association, Northern California and Northern Nevada Chapter and the UCD-Sacramento CADC.
According to the Alzheimer's Association's Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures in California, while the incidence of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) in the general population in California is projected to double by 2030 in people over age 55, that number will actually triple among the API community, created a burgeoning need for dementia care.
"Sacramento County has one of the highest concentrations of API elders in the state, but this community has a history of health and social services underutilization," said Edie Yau, director of Diversity with the Alzheimer's Association. "Persistent reliance on family, cultural beliefs, lack of knowledge about dementia and other conditions, limited English skills and a lack of language/culturally competent services combine as barriers to service to the API community."
The Sacramento API Dementia Care Network partnership will address these barriers by focusing on three key areas: improving the understanding of dementia and depression among API family caregivers and community organizations; building capacity to enable service providers to reach families and coordinate services; and piloting interventions using community assets to identify, serve and connect API caregivers with service providers and information that sustains family care of elders.
"This project will seek to provide direct assistance to caregivers from Sacramento's very diverse Asian communities including Chinese, Japanese and Filipino among others with services such as caregiver education, drop-in respite care, in-home nursing services and much more," said Donna Yee, chief executive officer, Asian Community Center. "The project will also offer education to mainstream service providers on how to work with this very linguistically and culturally diverse population."
"The evidence is clear that community organizations need to facilitate access to the support service needs of API caregivers," said Ladson Hinton M.D., UCD-Sacramento CADC Education Core Director. "This grant will allow our organizations to create a network that will enable an underserved population to gain access to comprehensive support services for family caregivers and their care receivers."
The Family and Informal Caregiver Support Program was established by the Weinberg Foundation to increase support for projects that support family and friends that deliver the majority of care to chronically ill and disabled older loved ones. The grants were made to nonprofits in nine states, including California, New York, Florida, Texas, Maine, New Hampshire, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. The grants provide funds to support innovative and evidence-based community projects that help family and friends who care for low- and moderate- income, older adults.

In the first siting of the celebration committee held at Jamuguri HS School recently under the presidentship of Padma Hazarika, MLA Sootea, the detailed programme of the mahotsav was chalked out with 17 sub-committees with a tentative budget of Rs 15 lakh. The committee also decided to nominate Chief Minister of Assam, Tarun Gogoi as the chief patron of the celebration along with Prafulla Ch Sharma former Chief Secretary, Assam, MGVK Bhanu chairman, Tea Board of India, Kamaleswar Borah, former Vice Chancellor, Dibrugarh University and Tapan Ch Sharma as chief advisers. Moreover, a few members of the Assam Cabinet, all the former ministers, MPs and MLA of the district and all the heads of the departments of the district have been nominated as patrons. It may be noted here that a public meeting held on October 7 under the aegis of the permanent committee of Barechahariya Bhaona Committee had decided to observe the Mohotsav on the purnima of Faagun instead of traditional Chot as weather is not very conducive to hold it in at the historical Pakaamura Pather instead of the new permanent site (Chahiya Bakori) as infrastructure facilities were not developed. A 121-member strong Bhaona Mahotsav Udjapan committee with Padma Hazarika, MLA Sootea as president, Bhaben Borah as working president and Ganesh Pathak as the general secretary has been formed.
As the Barechahariya Bhaona Mahotsav is acting as a unifying force among the various ethnic communities of the greater Naduar area this year all the sections of the society including Aadivasi Samaj, Bangabhasi Samaj, Hindibhasi, Nepali Bhasis have been included in the reception committee. Sixteen bhaonas will be performed which will include those of the Adivasi and Nepali communities. Bodos, Misings and those of Islamic faith have also been included in the celebration committee.
According to the programmes chalked out by the executive committee, there will be Gondhotsav on February 24, bhaonas on the nights of February 25 and 26, and a colourful cultural nite accommodating all ethnic groups of North East on February 27. Religious discourses, seminars on bhaona and traditional folk dance and song, exhibition book fairs will be organised on all four days. A colourful souvenir will also be released on the occasion and a community naam to be presented by more than 2000 women at a time will be an added attraction in the Mahotsav. The executive committee of the Barechahariya Mahotsav Udjapan Committee has solicited the help, both physical and economical, co-operation of all sections of Assam to make the Mahotsav a grand success.

Aadhaar may speed up visa to US and Canada
Nandan Nilekani-led Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is in talks with embassies to use Aadhaar-based applications to simplify the visa processes. Chetan Chauhan reports.delhi Updated: Jul 14, 2013 03:59 IST
Having an Aadhaar number could possibility help in faster processing of your visa application.
Nandan Nilekani-led Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is in talks with embassies to use Aadhaar-based applications to simplify the visa processes.
"If Aadhaar helps streamline the visa process, it would be a great service to the applicants," a senior UIDAI official said.
Nilekani said the unique ID verification is fundamental to a whole host of service delivery. "An open architecture of application programme interface allows different people to build applications around the unique identity system. Apps and enrollments will create the momentum for us to get everyone on board," he said.
At least three countries – the US, Canada and Israel — have shown interest in the UIDAI's bid to provide online solution for specific authentication purposes. It includes obtaining medical certificates from listed doctors and personal verification of an applicant.
"A doctor would be able to instantly authenticate the person's identity using Aadhaar-based online authentication system," a senior UIDAI official told HT. Or an embassy representative visiting one's home would be able to authenticate the person's identity immediately.
"We are looking at the feasibility of the Aadhaar option," said an official of one of the embassies who was not willing to be quoted.
The UIDAI had last month launched its biometric authentication service providing a facility to authenticate the information provided by a person for seeking a service. For instance, a mobile company can do a picture match to find out whether the information provided by the person seeking mobile connection is correct or not. "The authentication provides an answer in the yes or no format without divulging demographic details of the person," an official said.

In an effort to engage parents, staff and the community around the collective mission of School Change and helping all kids rise, I�d like to let you know that the new Superintendent of Schools, Garth Harries, is going out to schools in the community to hear directly from New Haven residents.
As part of his Listening Tour, Superintendent Harries has been meeting with parents, staff, local leaders and community groups. The next step is the launch of the Superintendent�s Night Out, which kicked off with an inaugural meeting at Lincoln Bassett School just last week.
The goal at each Listening Tour location is to attract participants not just from specific school location, but also from the surrounding schools and the community at large in order to hear the ideas and concerns of parents, New Haven Public Schools staff, and the community in order to engage everyone in the collective mission of helping kids rise. At each event, Superintendent Harries will give a welcome, and then invite people to participate in a discussion about his three Listening Tour questions:
1. What do you see as the district�s strengths, and why?
2. What needs to change and how?
3. What is your top priority for change?
Senior staff will also be on hand to answer specific questions parents might have about individual schools. All of the Superintendent�s Night Out dates are open to parents, NHPS staff and the public. Coffee and a light meal will be served at each event.
Upcoming dates for Superintendent�s Night Out are listed below and I encourage you to attend!
� Wednesday, October 2nd, 5:30-7 pm at John Daniels School, 569 Congress Ave.
� Wednesday, October 9th, 5:30-7pm at Edgewood School, 737 Edgewood Ave.
� Wednesday, October 16th, 6:30-8pm at East Rock School (Title I Parent Night), 133 Nash St.
