Aspects of Sustainable Agriculture
How Does Sustainable Agriculture Help The Environment?
Maintain Biodiversity
Climate/ Energy
Traditionally, Coffee is grown under a variety of trees, in a shady, biologically diverse, area.
High demand for coffee made some growers start to plant their coffee in direct sunlight for faster growth.
In 1999 Starbucks joined a project set up by Conservation International (CI) around the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve in Chiapas, Mexico, to encourage shade-grown coffee and prevent further deforestation.
How Does Sustainable Agriculture Help Economically?
Farm Profitability
Value Chain
French-style green beans come from Guatemalan farms to Costco stores all over North America.
Inspired by sustainable agriculture, a Costco employee initiated the Juan Francisco project in 2005.
Involved an analysis of the services provided at each level of the supply chain, their prices and revenues, and the impact on rural poverty.
They found that the green bean market means children can attend school and husbands no longer have to work away from home for months at a time as migrant laborers.
Costco now implements these types of projects with many foods that they consider selling.
How Does Sustainable Agriculture Help Socially?
Labor Rights
Community Health
Food Quality and Safety
Animal Welfare
Côte d'Ivoire generates 40% of global production of cocoa, most of which is grown by smallholder farmers.
Unfortunately, production means farmers must deal not only with low productivity due to pests, plant diseases, but also with an array of social challenges including poor living and health conditions, lack of education and low income.
Finding sustainable solutions to these issues has been the aim of Kraft Foods Inc and the Market-oriented Promotion of Sustainable Certified Cocoa Production project.
Kraft encourages farmers to produce quality cocoa according to the internationally accepted Sustainable Agriculture Network's certification standards.
Farmers who comply with these standards can display the Rainforest Alliance Certified stamp on their products, providing them with added value in the marketplace.
The aim has been for them to increase their income
Phoebe's Sustainable Farm
* The System is Flawed: Meat can be labeled as "Free Range" if the animal has any access to the outdoors
Consumers Can Choose:
-Humane Farm Animal Care Allows Restaurants, Farmers, and Companies to use their seal of approval (right) if they use or raise meat that complies with strict guidelines for humane animal treatment
Whole Foods Has a Different Approach
At Every Whole Foods Market, Consumers can choose their meat, which is rated based on a 5-Level System. The Program is backed by the Global Animal Partnership
Fairtrade is a term used to describe fair compensation for farmers both domestically and internationally
This Practice differs from traditional farming in that:
Soil is not disturbed in order for crops to grow symmetrically
Weeds and other indigenous plants are not disturbed
The result is more nutritious soil that will be viable for a longer period of time
Some Examples:
Using Agriculural waste (compost) to fertilize soil
Using animal manuer to fertilize soil
Slow down wind
Help soil retain water
Reduce damage to plants
Agriculture Accounts for 70% of Water Use World-Wide (40% in USA)
1/5th Global Population Lack Safe Drinking Water
40% of Water used in Agriculture is Wasted
Sustainable Practices Can Reduce This by 15%
Flood Irrigation
Spray Irrigation
More Direct Root Access
= Less Wasted Water
Literally Removing Insects By Hand
Fabric Such as Netting Allows Plants to be Exposed to Sunlight While also Protecting Crops from Pests
Use Chemicals or Lights That Attract Insects to Trap Airborne Pests Before Reaching Plants
Using Vacuums With A Wide Nose to "Suck" Pests Off Plants

Nothing good ever happens after dark.
Those were the words country singer Daleigh McDermott's father always repeated. Now her father is dead, and Daleigh fears she's returned home too late to make things right. As she's about to flee back to Nashville, she finds a hidden journal belonging to her father. His words hint that his death was no accident. Small town mechanic Ryan Shields is the only one who seems to believe that Daleigh may be on to something. Her father trusted the man, but Daleigh's instant attraction to Ryan scares her. She knows her life and career, however dwindling it might be, are back in Nashville and that her time in the sleepy North Carolina town is only temporary. As Daleigh and Ryan work to unravel the mystery, it becomes obvious that someone wants them dead. They must rely on each other—and on God—if they hope to make it home before the darkness swallows them whole.

Alright, Duckies, I need your help.
For the past four days, I've been waking up to a Robin flying face first into my kitchen windows every three seconds, starting at 5AM.
That's right, guys, a freaking bird is trying to commit suicide via my home. What the heck???
Don't worry, it gets weirder.
The other morning, I got out of bed and walked over to the window, where I saw said bird flying at me. I assumed it was attacking it's own reflection, so I started dancing in front of my window to show it that there's no bird here, it's just me!!
It stopped, looked me right in the eye, and did it again. So, I took the next logical step and knocked on the window to try and scare it away or warn it or something. I don't really know what my reason was. It was 5:30AM and I was very sleepy and cranky. It was successful, though! The bird flew away and I went back to bed.
Until twenty minutes later when I heard that "THUNK" again… and again… and again…
This time, when I approached the window, the bird saw me, and flew away.
This pattern continued for about 2 more hours…
Around 7:30, I finally just decided to stay up. I went to the window and watched this bird smack it's face into the window more times than I'd like to admit while I had my coffee and tried to capture this whole situation on film. (Sadly, that bird would not cooperate with my camera.) That's when I saw the squirrel sitting on my porch swing.
That's right, Duckies, there was literally a squirrel using my porch swing, which sits just outside of the windows that the bird was flying into.
I looked at this little squirrel and saw that not only was he sitting on my porch swing, but he was eating a nut and actually watching this bird fly back and forth between the branch and my window.
I'm not even sure how to react to this.
Anyway, I can't figure out how to get this whole routine to end. It's been four days straight of this, and every morning is the same: The bird wakes up, starts flying at my window, and the squirrel eats his breakfast and watches it all go down.
Has anyone else ever had this problem? If so, please help.
This is my life. Why couldn't I just get the cute critters that sing to me and help me get dressed in the morning?

Most people have at least said the best stuff and the more major praises of this game, my review is just for a simple thing I saw. Whenever your art is rejected at the Salon de Paris, the way your screen just gently shakes as you go back to the home screen hit me so hard every time I saw it. It felt like I was getting tossed out into the rain for bringing my drawing to them, and that feeling was powerful enough to give me a little reason to keep playing and keep getting better so I won't get tossed out the next time. It was something small, but it made a real big impact.

Fidelity Bank on Thursday declared dividend of 14 kobo per share from a profit after tax of N5. 36 billion declared for its financial year ended Dec. 31, 2011.
The bank recorded profit after tax of N6.11 billion in the preceding year.
The bank's chairman, Dr, Christopher Ezeh, announced the results at its 24th Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Lagos.
The bank's profit before tax during the period was N7.67, million against N8.65 billion declared in 2010.
According to Ezeh, the bank's fixed assets rose by 6.9 per cent to N27.03 billion from the N25.27 billion in 2010.
Its net assets also increased to N137.48 billion in 2011 from N136.18 billion in the previous year.
The chairman said that the improvement was remarkable considering the fact that the banking industry was just recovering from financial crisis.
He assured the shareholders that the bank would work harder to improve on the dividend payout.
Reginald Ihejiah, the managing director, said that the company made efforts to strengthen its internal risk management and technology structures.
He said that the bank planned to also improve on its business efficiency levels, particularly in the area of service delivery.
He said that the bank was re-engineering its processes in line with the CBN's cash-less policy.
Timothy Adesiyan, the President of the Nigerian Shareholders Solidarity Association, said that shareholders appreciated the decision of the bank on the 14 kobo dividend.
He advised the bank to evolve measures that would increase the profitability of its operations so that shareholders could get better dividend in the current financial year.
``I hope that at the end of current financial year, shareholders would receive higher returns as well as bonus issues,'' he said

Some of you may not be aware but CBS has actually made DESIGN history. Back in the mid-1960's, Lou Dorfsman, one of CBS's lead graphic designers who oversaw branding and identity, created an installation piece that lived in the company's cafeteria. This typographical masterpiece is now in the process of being salvaged by a non-profit in Atlanta, the media has since got wind of this bringing the spotlight back onto the Gastrotypographicalassemblage.
Here's a little more background on the piece and Dorfsman from a recent AIGA article:
"The CBS cafeteria wall is as legendary as its visionary designer and art director. Conceived in the mid-1960s and ultimately completed in 1966, the expansive wall, spanning over 35-feet wide and 8-feet tall, is a national design treasure. In producing the wall Dorfsman enlisted support from life-long friend and design legend Herb Lubalin. Lubalin, along with Tom Carnase, masterfully crafted the typography for the aptly dubbed "Gastrotypographicalassemblage."

I seldom see vintage St John earrings for sale, as there are a legion of St John women who would never part from their St John pieces. These earrings look like fuchsia dangling flowers. The post earrings are 2" tall and 5/8" wide. Marked with St John's mark on both earrings which even with my loupe I can't make out the mark. 1980s. Excellent vintage condition.

SUPER cute couple! I've never shot in Chicago, but always wanted to. I love that the lake is right there next to the skyline. It's so picturesque. It just speaks to me, ya know!
I'm still workin' on the Colorado thing myself. I FINALLY got an inquiry from a bride in CO, YAY! I watch House Hunters for CO like crazy! I want to rent a house out there; I'm done living in apartments, I need more space, but it's so hard to know what's not, um… a dump. lol

It's Saturday I love the weekend
Well It's Saturday I got up this morning and made my way to the Post Office to mail my granny square exchange to my partner for the month. I forgot to take a picture of my exchange so that I could show it after I get word from my partner that she has received her "puffy" that's what the packages are called in the group. I am now working on the dishcloths to send to my partner in that exchange and tomorrow I will start the potholders, dishcloths and potholders don't take long to make just started the first dishcloth today at the mall while I waited for my daughter to get her hair done at Regis in Greensboro. I talked to a very nice lady and her husband as the sat and rested from their shopping. I like to people watch at the mall. I went to the Hobby Lobby in Greensboro and I discovered that I really like the colors in Busy Bee yarn the Baby Bee Sweet Delight Baby yarn it is expensive yarn over $5.00 per skein but they have beautiful colors fro light pastels to bright. In my mind I could see a round ripple or start afghan made from the very bright colors I was today. I received on Friday in the July dishcloth exchange two very pretty dishcloths, a pattern book for knit and crochet shampoo samples and a pencil case a nice note from my exchange partner Joye Summers from Tennessee . I have been searching for months for something to keep my crochet hooks in but until Joye sent a pencil case to me and explalined that she used one for her needs I would have never thought about using a pencil case. I am a little slow sometimes. Well I must get back to my dishcloth. I will post a picture of what I received from Joye tomorrow.

I finished my Grandmother's afghan today. It took a month for me to make. I didn't work on it everyday so that might be one of the reasons it took so long. The afghan is a rectangle granny the pattern was posted by Erin Lindsey and can be found on her blog, iamtotallyobsessedwithyarn.blogspot.com she wrote the pattern and not only that she put pictures of how to get started, how to change colors this is very helpful for those of us who are new to crochet and need a visual so they can understand. So I give many thanks to Erin Lindsey for sharing a very nice pattern. I found out about this pattern at www.Crochetville.org . Now its on to my next Project.

DALLAS — Last week 7-Eleven here turned a dozen stores into Kwik-E-Marts, the fictional convenience stores of "The Simpsons" fame, in the latest example of marketers making life imitate art.
Those converted stores include 11 in the U.S. and one in Canada. Those outlets and most of the 6,400 other 7-Elevens in North America are offering items that until now existed only on television, such as Buzz Cola and Squishees, a Slurpee knockoff.
It's all part of a month-long camp

The pilot landed with his foot inadvertently resting on the brake pedal, which resulted in the microlight skidding to the left on landing. It departed the left side of the runway and ran into a ploughed field, causing it to roll onto its side, damaging the wing, the fuselage pod and the nose landing gear. The pilot was unhurt.

Constellation clinches deal with EDF, exits nuclear venture
Wednesday, October 27, 2010; 12:24 AM
Constellation Energy settled its dispute with French utility giant Electricite de France on Tuesday, selling its half of a joint venture to develop new nuclear power plants and dropping its threat to exercise an option to force EDF to buy a dozen aging fossil fuel plants.
Under the accord, EDF agreed to pay Constellation $140 million and to give up 3.5 million of the Constellation shares it owns, which at Tuesday's closing price would be worth about $110 million. Sources close to the negotiations said that the first sum covered the sale of Constellation's stake in the Unistar joint venture, while the 3.5 million shares represented a settlement of the dispute over the aging fossil fuel plants.
In addition, Constellation gave EDF four tracts of land at existing nuclear plants that could accommodate new reactors. Two are at the Calvert Cliffs, Md., site, and the others are at Nine Mile Point and R. E. Ginna in New York..
EDF gave up its seat on the Constellation board.
The deal opens the way for EDF to press ahead with plans to build a third nuclear reactor at the Calvert Cliffs nuclear power plant and to seek federal loan guarantees that could help reduce financing costs. Sources familiar with the negotiations said that the French electricity giant, which operates more than 80 nuclear plants worldwide, would probably seek a U.S. partner for the Calvert Cliffs project to ease the political road for a U.S. government loan guarantee.
The dispute between Constellation and EDF and the fate of the Calvert Cliffs project has been the center of attention in Maryland, where politicians have been doing whatever they can to promote the project, which could bring 4,000 jobs to the state.
But the plan was thrown into doubt just as the Obama administration was preparing to offer a $7.5 billion loan guarantee because Constellation declared the terms "unworkable." In addition, Constellation threatened to exercise a clause that it said entitled it to force EDF to pay $2 billion for a dozen aging fossil fuel plants. EDF responded with a threat to file suit.
House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) said late Tuesday that he was "pleased" about the agreement and added that the Maryland governor and congressional delegation "look forward to working with the parties and the administration to move this project forward."
EDF still owns 13.5 million shares of Constellation stock, or 6 percent of the company. The new accord releases EDF from a standstill agreement that prevented it from selling the shares until July 20, 2012. It is now free to do so.
The two firms also renegotiated the terms under which EDF buys power from existing nuclear plants that the two companies own jointly. That change was worth only a few million dollars, according to sources.
The agreement effectively removes Constellation from the business of developing new nuclear power. The Baltimore-based firm is continuing to expand, however. It recently bought two Texas natural gas fired electricity generation plants at a cost of $365 million.
Constellation is also bidding on five New England plants.
One factor in Constellation's calculations has been the changing economics of nuclear power.
The failure of Congress to adopt a climate bill, which would have phased in a price for carbon dioxide emissions, and the sharp drop in the price of natural gas because of shale gas exploitation have made the development of nuclear power less attractive.
Sources familiar with Constellation's thinking said that cash payment and the return of shares combined with avoided costs of litigation was roughly in line with what the company would have received - after taxes - if it had pushed ahead with its plan to force EDF to buy the aging gas and coal-fired power plants. EDF, meanwhile, avoided a significant write-down.
Sources familiar with EDF's thinking said that the French nuclear utility was happy to receive the tracts of land in upstate New York, which it thinks could be valuable in future years when the existing Indian Point nuclear power plant, located near New York City, comes up for license renewal.

The longest holiday period is just ahead, eleven days, to be exact, from December 23 through January 2, 2012. For nearly 92 million Americans, that means getting in the car and traveling to visit family, friends or to take a well-earned and much-needed vacation.
That's the estimate from AAA on the number of Americans traveling this holiday period.
But keep this caution front and center as you get ready to pack your bags and head out on the highway. Drinking and driving not only don't mix, they're a recipe for disaster. Statistically speaking, two to three times more people die in alcohol-related crashes in the Christmas to New Year's timeframe than any other time of the year.
Just in time for the holiday getaway, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), part of the National Institutes of Health, has some important information about drinking and driving that all drivers should pay attention to:
- Alcohol's effects begin quickly, much quicker than we might think.
- Initially, alcohol acts as a stimulant, but it soon affects judgment, lowers inhibitions, and could lead to reckless behavior behind the wheel.
- The more alcohol drivers consume, the more their reaction time increases and the less they're able to control their behavior, which could lead to aggressive driving, even more risk-taking and potentially deadly consequences for the driver and family members or other occupants, as well as others on the road.
- Continued drinking leads to the kind of slurred speech and jerky movements we typically associate with someone who's drunk.
- At some point, when the body has too much alcohol and the alcohol depresses vital functions, the driver becomes sleepy or may even pass out behind the wheel.
Beware of the old recommendations to load up on the caffeine before getting back on the road after drinking. That's a myth. What drinking coffee does is to temporarily help you combat drowsiness, but it can't do anything to eliminate alcohol that's already in your body. That takes time to dissipate, hours for the body to metabolize the alcohol and return the driver to a normal state.
When you're trying to drive the family home from a get-together or celebration, no amount of caffeine is going to make you sober up any quicker. The only solution, at that point, is to have someone else drive who has not been drinking. Do not assume that it's okay to ask another person to take the wheel who's also been drinking, under the mistaken belief that they seem to be fit to drive. The only one who should be a designated driver is one who hasn't been drinking, period.
Why take the chance with your family and loved ones this holiday period? Make it a sober and safe time by curtailing your drinking this year. If you do plan to drink, stay home or stay the night. Arrange for alternate transportation. Call a cab or the tipsy-driver services available in some states and municipalities.
For more tips and information on what constitutes a drink, how alcohol affects the body, and how to cut back or cut out drinking this holiday season, see the NIAAA's Rethinking Drinking website.

45 King Street Glenbrook
9 am Family Service J-Zone Kids Church
11 am Traditional Service
6 pm Evening Service
Until the end of the year, Explore Life public meetings at Glenmore Park are in recess. For the present time, the group has joined the 6pm congregation at Glenbrook GBC.
What are you waiting on The Lord for? Health? Financial provision? Relationship breakthrough? Whatever it is, waiting can be hard. It can test even the most robust of faiths. But The Lord makes a promise in Isaiah that I want to encourage you to hold on to, in the midst of waiting, when it's tough and testing - when you feel like you don't know what the The Lord is doing. The promise is this: as you wait on The Lord, He will renew your strength. Let go, and Let God! I know it sounds cliché. But although I find it hard myself sometimes, I know that in the surrender, in the waiting, I find strength - because in waiting on The Lord, striving ceases and His provision abounds, in His perfect time.

Legendary jazz guitarist Joe Beck, one of the instrument's great contemporary practitioners, died last week of lung cancer at a hospice in Danbury, CT, a few days before his 63rd birthday.
Throughout his career, Beck, who recorded frequently for the New Bedford-based WCS label, worked with some of the very biggest names in jazz and pop. In a career that spanned five decades, Beck accompanied an extraordinary range of giants: Duke Ellington and Gil Evans, Miles Davis, Paul Desmond, Stan Getz, and Brazilian genius Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Life is a Game
Review by Doug Boynton
The Jive Aces can play. And play they do, both figuratively and literally. Based out of the U.K., they'll perform more than 300 gigs this year, across several countries. Their musical talents and passion for up-tempo swing are delightfully evident on their latest release, Life Is a Game (Right Recordings). With just a couple of exceptions, the disc jumps from beginning to end. Continue Reading »
Brothers in Jive
Review by Joanne Bennett
Cheese comes in all varieties, from the flavorless yet squeezably convenient Velveeta® to the delicate Camembert or the pungent and robust Gorgonzola. The same holds true for swing. Some varieties are barely palatable in terms of musicality, yet their kitsch appeal satisfies a certain craving. Others offer a complex assortment of notes and arrangements to be savored. By this reckoning, the Vienna-based combo Five in Love are the masters of cheese, crafting tunes that appeal to a variety of tastes. Continue Reading »

Steer Wrestling and a History of the 'Black Rodeo'
The Bill Pickett Invitational touts itself as the only black rodeo touring the U.S. Rodeo-goers see more than bucking broncos and cowboys roping longhorns. They get a history lesson too.
ED GORDON, host:
The Bill Pickett Invitational is known as many as simply the black rodeo. It touts itself as being the only African-American rodeo touring the U.S. As NPR's Brakkton Booker recently discovered, rodeo-goers see more than bucking broncos and cowboys roping longhorns. They also see history. He reports on the rodeo's recent stop in Los Angeles.
(Soundbite of crowd noise)
BRAKKTON BOOKER reporting:
It's billed as the greatest show on dirt, and for many it certainly doesn't disappoint. When you arrive at the Equestrian Center, you can instantly feel the crowd's excitement. Pretty typical stuff at the start of most rodeos, but this ain't no ordinary rodeo. What sets this apart is that everyone here, from the cowboys to the clowns, is black. That's a far cry from the early days when the Bill Pickett Rodeo first came to Los Angeles, according to Cedric Haynes(ph).
Mr. CEDRIC HAYNES (Event Coordinator)): Well, everybody out here (unintelligible) seeing it. And a lot of them already had horses but they didn't rodeo out here.
BOOKER: He's an event coordinator and judge who's traveled with the circuit for 22 years.
Mr. HAYNES: There's only five black cowboys and cowgirls when I come here. There's 100 of them now.
BOOKER: Haynes is compactly built. He's layered in dirt from judging today's doubleheader program that includes bulldogging, or steel wrestling. Bulldogging was invented by Bill Pickett, the famous black cowboy who toured the country performing ranching stunts in the early 1900s.
Haynes says slowly but surely the rodeo named after Pickett is doing two things: helping to change the perception that rodeoing is only for whites, and developing talent that can compete on the big money circuits.
Mr. HAYNES: The first three years I come out here, I bought a young man out here with me by the name of Fred Whitfield. I never dreamed that this guy would be eight-times world champion with the pre-RCA(ph). He's one of the greatest calf wrestlers that ever lived, would ever will live, black or white, and he's in the white man's world.
(Soundbite of P.A. system)
Unidentified Announcer: (Unintelligible) Give it up for him. Woo!
BOOKER: One of the real popular events here is the bareback riding competition. It's where the cowboy rides a bucking bronco without a saddle, and tries to stabilize himself with one hand while he holds his free hand above his head. He's only got to stay on for eight seconds, but when a 500-pound animal is trying to toss you off its back it seems like an eternity.
I ask veteran crewmember Lebron Vance(ph) to help me with the action.
Explain to me what's going on.
Mr. LEBRON VANCE (Veteran Crewmember, Bill Pickett Rodeo): Well, right now he's got his hand, the horse is bucking. He's just trying to hang on, and the horse is trying to get him off his back. And they're going - the horse is doing everything he can - twist, turn, buck.
BOOKER: At this moment, the bareback rider is thrown from the horse. He smacks the ground hard and lies motionless on the arena's dirt floor, a somber reminder just how dangerous this sport can be.
(Soundbite of P.A. system)
Unidentified Announcer: You know, when you're playing on one of the roughest playing fields of any sporting event, you know the consequences. I think what he's trying to do right now is get some air. What we need you to do is just send those vibes to the arena floor right now. Send those vibes to the arena floor.
(Soundbite of applause)
BOOKER: Emergency teams rush to the arena floor to tend to the injured rider. He eventually walks off under his own power, but is visibly shaken. And then the rodeo goes on.
(Soundbite of P.A. system)
Unidentified Announcer: We're going to go back now. Let's go back to our next cowboy.
BOOKER: For most, the rodeo is about camaraderie and fellowship.
Mr. GLYNN TURMAN (Grand Marshal, Bill Pickett Rodeo): Glynn Turman at the Bill Pickett Rodeo, grand marshal for 23 years. What's up?
BOOKER: Turman is best known for his role as Colonel Taylor on the sitcom A Different World. He says the rodeo is like a family reunion, but if that's all your leave with, then you've missed a valuable lesson. Turman says the rodeo is a reminder to blacks' contribution to U.S. history.
Mr. TURMAN: Like I said, this is a part of history that's not paid enough attention to. And we have to kind of take it upon ourselves to find out what we have accomplished in this country...
BOOKER: Turman's grandson, 21-year-old bull rider Mike Gilbeaux(ph), says the term cowboy has been romanticized through novels and Hollywood films.
Mr. MIKE GILBEAUX (Bull Rider, Bill Pickett Rodeo): Traditionally in America, cowboy is seen as some historical figure or folklore, you know, blond hair, blue eyed cowboy, singing with his guitar, roping and stuff like that. When in actuality, cowboy is a slang term designated to all the slaves that handled livestock and everything. Slave owner would be like, go get that cow, boy.
BOOKER: Historians vary on whether this is the word's exact origin. La Wanna Larson is the executive director of the Black America West Museum. She says there's probably some truth in it. But one thing is for sure, that blacks played a big role in opening the West.
Ms. LA WANNA LARSON (Executive Director, Black America West Museum): But few people know that one out of three cowboys were African-American or black. We have a tradition that's steeped in the West but it's rarely told.
BOOKER: This is not news to Lorenzo Brazile(ph), who travels the rodeo as a spectator. Today he's dressed from head to toe in full cowboy gear. His only regret about the rodeo, though, is this:
Mr. LORENZO BRAZILE (Spectator): I just wished that a lot more people would come out dressed. It's a rodeo. Cowboy boots, hats, jeans, you know, real cowboy stuff.
BOOKER: The Bill Pickett Invitational rides into Denver over the weekend, and next month will hold its championships in Washington, D.C.
Brakkton Booker, NPR News, Los Angeles.
(Soundbite of music)
Unidentified Man: (Singing) Old Bill Pickett's gone away over the great divide, to the place where all the preachers say both saint and sinner abide…

How to Enjoy Sports Even When Your Teams Have a History of Failure
I grew up in Cleveland, which has a sad history of failure in team sports that rivals that of any city in North America. The Indians in baseball, the Cavaliers in basketball, and the Browns in football have each come tantalizingly close to winning championships in my lifetime, but only once did a local team manage to win the final, crowning game of a season. That was in 1964, when the Browns led by the great running back Jim Brown won the NFL title, defeating the Baltimore Colts led by Hall of Fame quarterback Johnny Unitas, 27-0. The game was a scoreless shut-out at halftime, but in the second half Browns QB Frank Ryan threw three TD passes to split end Gary Collins, and the route was on. Municipal Stadium became a scene of joyous bedlam. This was two years before the Super Bowl was inaugurated, and since then the Browns have never made it back to the title game.
With Lebron James on the doorstep of an NBA title (Friday update: now clinched), it seems time to reflect on Cleveland's sports tradition, and that of all teams that break their fans' hearts.
I was in the stands at Cleveland's Municipal Stadium on that frigid day, December 27, when the Browns faced the Colts, sitting in the stands with my father Earl, and brother Joel, now both sadly gone. I was ten years old. Our dad Earl was an extremely knowledgeable sports fan, and in fact had had youthful ambitions to be a sportswriter, though he ended up buying and selling scrap metal as a profession, a pretty common field for the son of Jewish immigrants in the first half of the twentieth century (see such examples of this prevailing sociology as the uncle of the eponymous protagonist in Mordecai Richler's classic novel The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz, also an excellent film written by Richler, starring Richard Dreyfuss). But Earl never lamented his years in the metals industry, instead channeling his knowledge and savvy sports spectatorship into his three kids, including our sister Pamela, teaching us how to appreciate key plays in sports, and how to enjoy the subtle games of strategy, the parry and thrust that's always made sports fascinating for me to watch, experience, and follow. A favorite expression of his for me to hear, one he frequently made, uttered, say, when a pitcher leapt off the mound to field a bunted ball and in tossing his throw toward first base, plunked it off the back of the baserunner, prompting Earl to say, "Wow, I've never seen that happen before!"
Earl had earlier enjoyed another Cleveland sports championship, in 1948, when the Indians won the second World Series in their history, the first having come in 1920, when he was two years old. When I was born, on September 22, 1954. the Indians had just completed a remarkable regular season, when they won 111 games and were about to enter the World Series against the NY Giants as heavy favorites. Sadly, they were swept four straight by the Giants. The opener of the series in which Willie Mays made his remarkable play, now known simply as "The Catch," occurred on Sept. 29, probably the day before my br'it meilah, the ritual circumcision that for Jewish families occurs eight days after the birth of a male child. While I of course have no memory of that day I have long imagined my dad's elation at the arrival of his third child and the crushing defeat his team endured that autumn.
With all that as backdrop, I have been following with great interest and enjoyment the Euro Cup soccer tournament that started a few weeks ago. When I was in Toronto last week, ethnic neighborhoods, like Little Portugal, were consumed with anticipation the day of a game. There have been some great matches, amazing plays, and surprising outcomes, like when England defeated Sweden 3-2 in a come-from-behind win on an amazing back-of-the-foot goal late in the second half. In England's next match, they beat Ukraine 1-0, but only after what appeared to be the equalizer by Ukraine was judged to not have fully crossed the goal line, a call which replays later showed quite definitively to have been incorrect by the referee. During that tense match, Michael Goldfarb, former NPR correspondent, currently London correspondent for Global Post, and an author whose New York Times Notable Book, Ahmad's War, Ahmad's Peace: Surviving Under Saddam, Dying in the New Iraq, I edited and published with him in 2004–visited a North London pub to ask English fans how they were feeling about their team. In his excellent article, he chronicles the predominant history of failure that has hung for decades over the nation's football team, and interviews fans who really open up about what it's like rooting for a blighted team.
"The team takes the field and after sporadic hoarse cries of, 'C'mon England!' a silence descends on the crowd. This is the epitome of the English fan experience—the total silence in which the crowd suffers. The essence of watching a championship in any bar in America is the kibitzing among strangers. The jokes, the barracks humor, are part of what makes it fun. Fun is not part of the picture here. . . . I start chatting with a skinny guy who has managed to perch on the windowsill just where I've been standing. It's no more than 5 inches deep. 'Are you suffering yet?' I ask. 'I'm an England fan, I have to suffer.'"
Well, somehow, they beat Ukraine, even if the win was tainted by the bad call, and their next match is against Italy. So, maybe England will continue advancing through this tournament. And, maybe the Cleveland Indians, who won a game with a walk-off HR Tuesday night, and are somehow in first place in their division, will find a way to get into the post-season. Oh, well, we fans chastened by loss, never lose our capacity to dream.

Video Feature: Ferrari 458 Italia
April 8, 2016 | Video Features | No Comments|
This absolutely gorgeous Ferrari 458 Italia was another pleasant surprise today. it caught my eye from across the room and I asked about it. Apparently, it already has a new home waiting and would be leaving shortly. I snatched up my camera and got some footage real quick.
the 458 has a V8 powerhouse pushing about 560 horse power. Putting that power to the wheels is a dual clutch 7-speed automatic which manages a 0-60 time of about 2.9 seconds. There is no manual option for this car.
You can see Michael Schumaker's influence with that steering wheel covered in controls.

Washington, July 28: Agnieszka Radwanska breezed past Jamie Hampton 6-3, 6-2 to reach the final of the Bank of the West Classic tennis tournament here.
Radwanska will face Dominika Cibulkova, who Saturday eliminated Sorana Cirstea 6-4, 6-0, in the final Sunday night.
Radwanska had earlier beat Cibulkova 6-0, 6-0 in the Sydney Open final in January.
Tennis is a lot about mentally," said Cibulkova.
"If you will see that match, you will not believe it can be like that because I was putting pressure all the time. All the first six or seven games of that match I had game point or break point, and I just couldn't make it" Cibulkova said.
It was like something really bad was happening. I was down 6-0, 3-0 and I was only thinking about one thing just to make one game, and it didn't happen. It was really bad, she adds.

Hi everyone,
in my last post, where I showed you Confetti Masquerade Ball, I promised you a layering manicure and here it is :) I haven't really done a lot of layering experiments but those two polishes I used are meant to be layered over another base color.
Are you ready for some multichrome-flakie picture spam? Then read on after the jump!
This was two coats of Confetti Masquerade Ball topped with one coat of BeYu 209 - also known as Brilliant Shiraz - and one coat NfuOh 49. BeYu 209 is a very sheer pinkish polish with multichrome shimmer particles. They flash red, orange and green in the bottle but sadly this did not show up on the nails, they appear red most of the time. NfuOh 49 is a veeery sheer pinkish orange (or coral?) base stuffed with multichromatic flakies. It definitly is too sheer to be worn on its own but I love how it looks layered! The flakes flash red, orange, yellow and I especially love the green that shows up at extreme angles! I know it's all about flakies this year and this trend really got me hooked! But they are pretty and lovable, right!? At least I can't get enough of them at the moment ;) Somehow this manicure reminds me of falling leaves in Autumn.
That's it for today, thanks for looking!
- Sabine

Shrek Glass Recall
June 4, 2010 by Post Team
Shrek Glass Recall:A dangerous metal called cadmium has been found in "Shrek"-themed cups sold in McDonald's restaurants across the country, leading to fast-food giant to recall 12 million collection items. The 16-ounce glasses have been going for $ 2 each, and the success of 'Shrek Forever After "at the box office, which has been a hot topic since its debut May 21. The glasses have been available in four designs – Shrek, Fiona, Puss in Boots and Donkey.
McDonald's announced Monday morning that it would post instructions on its Web site next week on refunds. Until then, they say to stop using glasses.
What is cadmium? The CPSC said in its recall notice that "long-term exposure to cadmium can cause adverse health effects." Cadmium is a known carcinogen that research shows can cause softening of the bones and severe kidney problems.
McDonald's told the Associated Press that he was asking customers to stop using the glasses "out of an abundance of caution."
"We believe that the" Shrek glassware is safe for consumer use, "said McDonald's USA spokesman Bill Whitman. "However, once again to ensure our customers receive safe products from us, we decided to stop selling and voluntarily recalled these products with immediate effect."

Nicole Kidman's Jimmy Choo ad0:47
Nicole Kidman showcases the Spring Summer 2014 collection from Jimmy Choo.
NICOLE Kidman has revealed she rejected the lead role in Holocaust drama The Reader because she didn't want the film's traumatic story to "penetrate her baby" while she was pregnant.
"I got pregnant and I was meant to do The Reader. And they said, 'Oh can you still do it?' But I cannot work pregnant. The way I work, it would penetrate my baby," she told Daily Mail.
"I know now what I probably didn't know in my 20s. I would absolutely know now that I would always choose the sanctity and sacredness of my family, and if that was ever in jeopardy, no question."
The harrowing role of Hanna eventually went to Kate Winslet, who won the Best Actress Oscar for her performance.
Indeed, 46-year-old Kidman's dedication to her family is so strong, she would turn her back on Hollywood if her husband Keith Urban asked her to.
The Hours star also confided that she would have rejected her latest role of Grace Kelly if Urban, with whom she has two daughters, thought it best.
"If he said no, I wouldn't have done it. That's how we are," she said, explaining that she is still an advocate for women's rights.
"I know this sounds old-fashioned, but I do put it on the table. Because if it won't work for us, then I'm not doing it."
The Oscar winner is currently in France where her controversial new movie about the life of the late Princess Grace of Monaco opened the Cannes Film Festival.
While she admitted she was nervous about the movie Grace of Monaco's reception, she said she was indebted to Thierry Fremaux, director of the Cannes Film Festival, for choosing it as the opening film.
"I was nervous, because I am always nervous, but at the same time it was nice when someone was finally embracing it [the film] because there has been an enormous amount of controversy," she said.
"Thiery was very, very strong in his support of it, which I am so appreciative for. He was willing to go out on a limb for it and that's enormously helped the film."
However in preparing for the role, the Aussie star said she regretted turning down a chance to speak face-to-face with Princess Grace's family.
"They invited me for lunch, but I was shooting six days a week and I had my small children and my mother and my aunt. I couldn't take all these people," she said.
"Now subsequently I wish I would have gone, because I would have been able to explain to them the intentions.
"It's very threatening if someone plays your mother. But I would hope that they would know that there was an enormous amount of respect and love behind everything that was done."

Thousands of air travel customers were going nowhere fast Monday after a power outage crippled the computer systems at the heart of Delta Air Lines' worldwide operations.
The outage began at about 2:30 a.m. Eastern Time due to a power failure at Delta's Atlanta hub. Operations began resuming at about 8:30 a.m. ET, but Delta warned fliers that they would be facing delays and cancellations.
For example, at New York City's LaGuardia Airport, flight information boards showed delays of several hours for Delta flights.
Advertisement - story continues below
As the morning wore on, flight status systems were showing incorrect information in several major airports.
"Customers heading to the airport should expect delays and cancellations," Delta warned in a statement. "While inquiries are high and wait times are long, our customer service agents are doing everything they can to assist."
TRENDING: 'My God is Awesome': Sam's Club Customer Starts Playing Piano and a Worship Service Breaks Out
"We apologize to customers who are affected by this issue, and our teams are working to resolve the problem as quickly as possible," the company said.
The airline also advised fliers hoping to get accurate information about their flights that there may be "some lag time in the display of accurate flight status at delta.com, the Fly Delta App and from Delta representatives on the phone and in airport."
Advertisement - story continues below
Delta said that customers who faced cancellations and severe delays would receive refunds.
The cause of the power outage was not immediately known. Delta officials indicated that they did not believe their computer system had been hacked.
Delta operates about 15,000 flights per day, carrying upward of 500,000 passengers.
This is not the first major glitch impacting air travelers in recent weeks.

Last month, Southwest Airlines was forced to cancel more than 2,000 flights across the U.S. after technology problems prevented travelers from checking in or boarding.

- Sold Date:
- Source: eBay
Vintage hard plastic Ginny-type doll with no markings seen, about 7 1/2" tall. She is a straight leg strung doll. I gently pulled an arm out and she has the "C" shaped hook, which I was told means she is Ginger, by Cosmopolitan; I am not knowledgeable of these, so please look at the photos to determine who she is. She does have some rubs on her face (see photos), with a hint of blush remaining on her cheeks. She has painted eyebrows and lower eye lashes; her sleep eyes have molded lashes. The sleep eyes do open/close well; however, when she is laid on her back, the left eye partially falls into her head, so the eyes will need to be reset - I tried a couple of angles to show it, but it is not obvious in the photos. Her lovely red hair looks great from the front and one side, but has a sparse area on the back-right side. I think styling could cover this area - I am just no good at fixing hair! She also has a missing finger on her left hand She has molded shoes on her feet. Please see photos for condition - I tried to photo any flaws. N o cleaning attempted. Vintage Displayed/used condition. Please see photos. Sorry for flash reflections. Other dolls/clothes listed, including more Ginny/Ginger items!
Please read description and look at photos closely - they are part of the description. If you have any questions, please email

First day in Transylvania
Targu Mures Travel Blog› entry 4 of 7 › view all entries
40 mins later we landed at a very small airport, but I guess the Hungarian domestic airports arenŌĆÖt bigger than that one either. First we had to fill in a form that we donŌĆÖt have H1N1, and then it was followed by the passport control.
We were told that we should get to the city center by taxi.
It was really cold outside so it was hard for us to leave the warm room. The guest house was located on a hill but only about 10 minutes far from the town center. As we were walking down the first thing what got to our way, was the castle. So we checked it out. The taxi driver told us that there was a wine festival there the week before. We could see the clues of it coz a lotta things (amusement park swings, a huge stage and grandstands) were left there.
Then we went to the center and Laci got very hungry so we were looking for a place to eat. We found a small fast food restaurant, called Panda where we got hot dogs for 1 lei! (1RON=0,43euros)
That place became our haunt! We were eating hotdogs for 3 days!
Then we were looking for a pub. We ended up in a caf├® where we tried out the Romanian wine.
We got back to our room at about midnight. Laci fell asleep and he didnŌĆÖt wake up when we were laughing laud or when we were trying to pin a bow (made from a candy bar wrap) on him.
We went to bed at about 2am and we decided that we should get up about at 8 am, so weŌĆÖll have time to explore the town.

Apparently, sex toys existed way longer than we have previously thought. You see, among the artifacts unearthed from the 2000-year-old tombs of aristocrats, elites, and royals in Jiangsu province, China are ancient dildos and butt plugs.
Multiple excavations conducted from 1995 to 2011 revealed a sundry of mundane items estimated to have originated from the Han Dynasty (206 BCE to 220 CE). The artifacts included objects that were used in the people's day-to-day activities then such as ceramics, urinals, loofahs, and as surprising and eccentric as it sounds, bronze dildos and jade butt plugs.
At the time, jade was a treasured material with its beauty and purity being believed to be able to ward off bodily and spiritual decomposition. In fact, "death suits" for the extremely opulent back then were made of tiles of jade sewn together using golden threads. Butt plugs made of jade were also used to prevent the escape of "vital essences" from the dead body.
A jade suit adorned the body of corpses from ultra-rich families during the Han Dynasty in ancient China.
Fan Zhang, a curator of the exhibition that displays the unearthed artifacts, said,
"The jade plugs are used to seal the body and keep in vital essences that can leak out during life and death.
"Basically, it is to maintain the chi. The most important orifice was the mouth, and we have a beautiful example of a mouth seal in the shape of a cicada in the exhibition."
A bronze plug, believed to have been used so "vital essences" would remain intact in the body even after death.
Now that's some explanation for the butt plugs. But what about the bronze dildos?
Fan Zhang said,
"Useable bronze dildos are still relatively rare finds, though far from unheard of, and they are occasionally found in elite tombs.
"They were all definitely made for use, and we can speculate based on their various bases how they were worn. They're all bespoke, and the ones we have here might have been laced into place with leather or silk thongs, though it's not clear if they were designed for men or women — they're not heavy at all — though the phallus without the ring form was likely for a man since it was found in a king's tomb."
Another phallus unearthed in the excavation.
So most likely, the ancient Chinese knew how to have fun.
These interesting artifacts will be displayed in the forthcoming exhibition entitled "Tomb Treasures" at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco from February 17th until May 28th of this year.
