JERRY SANDUSKY, A Sad, Sick Story
Bellafonte, Pa. Late Night, Friday June 22nd. 2012
Somewhere near Penn State University campus, a.k.a. "Happy Valley," just prior to Midnight, on Friday June 22nd, the loud clang of a jail cell gate being slammed shut was heard across our nation.
A pale, visibly-shaken, 68 year old man, convicted on 45 of 48 counts of various sexually motivated crimes against young boys over a fifteen year span was the new inmate. As yet not officially sentenced by the Judge, he faces over 400 years in prison.
The inmate, retired defensive coach for the Penn State football team, Jerry Sandusky, was locked up to await his fate for the remainder of his life.
Sandusky, had been the one-time heir apparent of highly regarded, much-loved Hall of Fame Head Coach, Joe Paterno ("Joe Pa," as he was affectionately called by all).
This night there was no love nor respect in the air for Jerry Sandusky. This was loudly and clearly confirmed by the cheers of victory heard from the masses, waiting on the courthouse steps for the verdict's announcement.
Instead, the air was filled with a palpable sense of relief and gratitude that justice had been well-served.
As the nation listened intently to reports from the un-televised trial, Sandusky's guilt was demanded and expected, based on overwhelming evidence in terms of real and moving testimony by his victims, in their own emotional recounts.
Guilty as Sin
So strongly evident was the general consensus of Sandusky's guilt, his own lead defense attorney Joseph Amendola, publicly conceded to a question posed during jury deliberation. When asked by a member of the news media, what his reaction might be to a not guilty verdict........Amendola responded with, "I'd have a heart attack."
Sandusky's defense team did their job no doubt, to include a few wild tosses at the wall, in the hope something....anything might stick. These lawyers even went down the mental disorder route. Surely not in an attempt to explain the repeated sexual abuse for which there is no excuse nor explanation but to show possible cause for bizarre behavior by an adult male toward minor boys......behavior to include writing love letters to his victims.
Several of Sandusky's young victims, as part of their testimony, told of creepy love letters they had received from Jerry Sandusky, professing his love and devotion to the victim. To the discomfort and disgust of any mentally healthy individual, these letters were presented as evidence and read aloud in court.
Defense attorneys, in an effort to create filters over these letters, brought in a psychiatrist to interview, diagnose and testify per his expert opinion. This Dr. suggested in sworn testimony, he found a strong probability that Sandusky suffered from histrionic personality disorder. By most accounts referring to the symptomatic behaviors of this disorder, Jerry Sandusky simply does not match up.
Prosecution experts in the field of psychiatry disagreed and rebutted the statements of the defense expert, in terms of this disorder. The public most definitely did not buy this defense tactic but saw it for the desperate attempt it was.
Classic Pedophile "Speak"
How Does This Happen?
Is Jerry Sandusky merely your garden-variety sexual predator or could there be more complex issues intertwined within the twisted tale of this Penn State scandal?
From the stunning jolt of reported abuse that opened the floodgates of this case, to the numerous blasts of collateral damages, all the way to the announcement of the guilty verdict, this tale is one of unforgiveable tragedy.
Nothing of this magnitude and far-reaching destruction happens overnight. As has been well-reported there were whispers and suspicions over the years. More than this, there were eye-witnesses to clearly damning scenarios involving Sandusky and young boys on more than one occasion.
There were reports, statements made and discussions had by Penn State Authorities and Hierarchy that were shamefully covered up, stuffed away in files and basically swept under the carpet. The suspicions, rumor and innuendo were left to fester and simmer for reasons that will never be understood nor ever condoned.
As it has often happened in history, the cover-up became as horrific as the crimes. Voices were heard and heads rolled. The media swooped in and the ultimate explosion would be missed by no one.
A University, it's Athletic Department, entire student body and local community were rocked to their very foundation. Soon enough, the country was enmeshed in the worst University scandal of a decade.
Indictment, arrest, trial, conviction. Jerry Sandusky goes down, collateral damage in his wake
The charity organization, Second Mile, was founded by Jerry Sandusky in 1977, within the Penn State community. This charity was aimed at providing guidance, education, recreation and numerous other benefits for at-risk youths. Young boys in particular,who had less than adequate home-lives and/or came out of severe poverty and were often exposed to the threats of inner-city gangs with little hope to escape.
Sandusky was heavily involved with and very active in all aspects of his charity. He was especially involved in establishing close relationships with the young boys who were the focus of this charity.
A Sexual Predator's Perfect set-up.
What better and more convenient method to form close, personal relationships with dependent, vulnerable, and most grateful young men? How much easier could it have been for Sandusky to groom, manipulate and create attachments with these boys who had so little exposure to the good life prior to 2nd Mile Charity.
Not only had Sandusky set himself up with his own private selection of warm young bodies, he was being lauded as a wonderful, generous and compassionate man for his work in this organization.
If your skin is not yet crawling, consider that Jerry Sandusky and his wife Dottie legally adopted not one or two, but five boys to raise and educate....and in Jerry's case, certainly to love.
As of the week prior to the verdict, near the end of the trial, adopted son Matt came out to attorneys as yet another victim of Jerry Sandusky's evil deeds. Shocking as it may seem, Sandusky had molested his own son for years. Thus far, Matt is the only adopted son to divulge this fact.
The reality is, we may never know how many more victims remain silent to this day and who may in fact never speak up.
For Sandusky, it matters not. As for his numerous victims, they have had their day in court and can feel some relief and vindication. Hopefully, they are all able to begin to heal their souls and mend the damage done to their psyches at such a young and vulnerable age. The vast range of emotions felt by the victims of this kind of abuse is endless. The mixture of disgust, anger and sadness felt by their families, and in high-profile cases such as this one, the public in general, take a very long time to subside or bring peace of mind to these folks. We will not soon forget.
The entire country holds these young men in high regard for their bravery in coming forth and their courage shown by giving testimony in a court of law, of their individual horrific nightmares, starring Jerry Sandusky.
Friday night, June 22, 2012, was not quite the "Friday Night Lights" of Jerry Sandusky's former celebrity lifestyle.
A MUST SEE video

To tell you the truth I really would be afraid of what I might do if I witness an act like these against a child . Wheen my imagination thinks "vigilante " I want to hang these Bast222ds, Maybe if we keep talking about it ? I don't know . ........great hub sweety !
I hope all wh0 participated, turned away and pretended not to notice, or covered up the truth get the justice they deserve here on earth and beyond. What a horrible, sick & twisted man that Jerry Sandusky is. And just think about the damage he has inflicted on the lives of so many. This was a good hub. I hope we never forget that our "heroes" can do bad things, too.
My thought is that guys like this , are protected enabled and even encouraged by those who know something and turn their heads the other way . How many lives does one man ruin by even one dispicable act ? Great hub ! I remember as a kid , one of these predators worked in the toy dept of the local JJ Newberry dept. store . Fondling little kids who would go there ,especially alone ! Later to work for the local police dept as a clerk "so they could keep an eye on him " !........Ed
This story gets "sadder and sicker" with the report released by the special investigation commission, which reads in part:
"It is more reasonable to conclude that, in order to avoid the consequences of bad publicity, the most powerful leaders at Penn State University – Messrs. Spanier, Schultz, Paterno and Curley – repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky's child abuse from the authorities, the Board of Trustees, Penn State community, and the public at large. Although concern to treat the child abuser humanely was expressly stated, no such sentiments were ever expressed by them for Sandusky's victims."
It's almost unbelievable that anyone could look the other way to prevent bad publicity, while all those boys were being brutalized.
Great writing.
This is the very first hub I have seen on this case, and you did an excellent job of presenting it.
The whole thing is so bizarre and sad.
Voted up....
A very powerful and well written hub about a very difficult subject. I knew very little about the case until I read your hub, and so I am pleased to know that your courts have put this man away behind bars where hopefully he can do no more damage.
Voting this hub up and hitting some buttons on my way out.
Paula! It's difficult to attach accolades to a story as horrific as this one. Let it suffice to say that you have evoked the emotions of so many and did a sterling job in the process.
Unfortunately for me this breaks my heart. Growing up in Philly in the 60's and 70's any kid who was playing football, as I was, wanted to play for Joe Paterno at Penn St! I know I did! I know Joe Pa is gone now and for a reason unrelated to this incident. I think his knowledge of it, even if superficial, was enough to break his heart too and add to whatever caused his demise. How could anyone who knew live with him or herself?
Having been a victim of similar issues myself in Sandlot baseball, my guess is this happens more than we know. I will say it left a scar, but I also know it was a great motivation for me to try to right a wrong, to find a way to help others make decisions for themselves, to learn that they have ultimate control over only one thing, and that is their thoughts.
Life actually sucks sometimes (sorry for the vernacular but it's what this story produces in me) But that doesn't mean we have to stay in that mindset or accept the outcome. We can change what's on the inside.
That's the saddest part of all here, people think it's a done deal. It isn't until we fix it...and we can, we just have to work at it one human being at a time. I'll try, and I know you will!!!
I really admire your courage at taking on the difficult topics!
Keep writing, I am grateful for you!
Congratulations on bringing this horrific case to light here. I am not familiar with it and my heart goes out to all the victims and their families. I truly hope the justice system goes after those who covered it up, as they carry just as much guilt in my opinion. Parents put their trust in Penn State to look after their children and that trust was smashed in the most vile way possible. Well done fpherj48 in a well written account of these most hideous crimes. Voted up and sharing.
Many abusers go unnoticed by their peers for years. Why? because of their rank and status in their profession and or community. It seems that many feel they are above the law and sadly protected by it. Abuser come from all walks of life. They disguise themselves very well until they are uncloaked eventually. I have no sympathy for this man, however much empathy for his victims including his immediate family.
Yes he will go to prison, quite possibly die in it by the hand of another inmate or possibly by his own hand. I know if I were him being the coward that he is, he should take the easy way out and do himself in before he gets as you described "the shank" from another possible victim of abuse, there are many locked up in pens across the nation. This was a very well written account of this wolf who leaves a black mark on his profession, I'm sure Vince Lombardi is weeping over this disgust.
Great expository look at a real dirt bag. There is a special place in Hell for those like him. It was recently released that 1 in 4 children will be sexually abused in the US. There are so many more out there who will not be caught like Sandusky. I will never apologize for being a protective mother. Sad, but this is a needed hub.
Hey Paula - this whole thing makes me sick. I tell you - I'm not sure who is worse - those who helped cover it up or him. Obviously he's very sick, and the people around him HAD to know it yet they swept it under the rug for him. They should ALL be jailed! Everyone who looked the other way should have to answer for that. These were just kids and he manipulated and abused them over and over again because no one wanted to speak up.
Up and excellent hub - good for you for writing about it:)
I was so happy when the verdict came down and it was guilty....I only wish he would live to serve the entire 400 years locked away.....now the attention is turning to the university and their responsibility in this tragic story. Your hub is very informative and interesting.....job well done.
As always, this hub is well written and leaves nothing to the imagination. You covered the trial and years of abuse in question with dignity.
There is nothing dignified about Sandusky and he will receive no sympathy wherever he goes, in the prison population or out. He will always have to watch his back which is as it should be.
COVER UP by any other name is still cover up and those guilty of that should live with guilt and pain the rest of their lives. They could have protected some of those boys by stopping this when they saw it but chose not to get involved in what was clearly their duty to get involved in!
Voted your hub up, useful, awesome for your writing, and interesting.
It is easy for us to play Monday morning quarterbacks in this situation. As I said originally, I admire you for writing this and I agree with the article. You are a fine writer here on Hubpages and I couln't even write about Sandusky because I was so revolted by him. Again, I didn't mean to attack you personally. I think I got caught up in my zeal to defend McQueary and forgot there are other perspectives out there. Excuse me and I sincerely am grateful for the discussion here on hubpages.
Yes, I do understand where you are coming from and your perspective. I apologize if I came across too harshly, but I just don't see one person being at fault here. There is a chain of adults who ignored these poor defenseless little boys. I now read in the NYTimes that one boy did report the abuse to a school counselor and the counselor, at the time, said what a golden reputation Sandusky had and didn't believe the boy. Another adult failing a helpless young victim.
I do not agree that McQueary should have intervened and stopped the situation at the moment it was happening. A frightened and confused victim could think McQueary was joining in on the "fun." I believe McQueary handled the situation the best he could under the circumstances. It is easy for us to
When I was a teacher in the state of Ohio, if I suspected or witnessed sexual abuse, my only recourse by law, was to report it to a school counselor. I could not even report it to a principal. I could not go to the police and report it. By law, the only person I could report my suspicious or my witnessing was to a school counselor. Mike McQueary was just another student at Penn State. He was not in the position to report it to anyone other than Joe Paterno. Blame the laws, not the people.
I am going out on a limb here and support Mike McQueary. He was a STUDENT COMPLETING AND INTERNSHIP at the university when he says he saw what he saw in the Penn State shower. He immediately reported it to Joe Paterno. It was Joe Paterno's responsibility to report to higher ups AND to the police what was reported to him by McQueary. Joe Paterno is the one who is at fault for not reporting what McQueary told him to the police. McQueary was a student completing a football internship under the mentorship of Paterno. I am appalled when anyone blames McQueary and tries to make him the scapegoat in all this. JOE PATERNO WAS THE HEAD FOOTBALL COACH. NO ONE TOLD PATERNO HOW TO RUN HIS FOOTBALL PROGRAM. IT WAS JOE PATERNO AND JOE PATERNO ALONE WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR REPORTING THIS TO THE POLICE. As much as we all loved JoePa, he allowed one of his coaches to do this. He is more responsible than anyone for what happened. He is dead now and may he rest in peace, but how he could habe looked the other way is beyond me. I'm sorry I can't agree with all of you but McQueary was not in a position to do anything but report it to Paterno which he did.
As sickening a case as has come across the American landscape in a very long time. As disgusted as I am by Sandusky, and that covers a whole lot of disgust, I was shocked,and yet not shocked, by the cover up of the administration. Where does accountability begin? How can image be so important as to trump the safety of children? I guess we should ask the Pope that question.
Well done my friend!
I agree. It totally sickens me that she didn't do anything. I don't understand the mentality, but women stay with abusers. When we were going for our foster care license, we had to take a class on this. Throughout the whole class I was like "just leave the bastard". But, I do know that it isn't always possible, as they fear for their life, or their lively hood. Me, I would live on the streets before I would let a man treat me that way. Again, I don't understand where they come from.
I wonder if she could be brought up on charges...like accessory to the fact, or something like that. My husband and I were just discussing this. If she knew, and didn't say anything, she should rot in prison right alongside him.
I am not sure if his wife knew or not, and you are right, if she turned a blind eye, she is just as much at fault. I guess I feel bad for her not having the strength to A. leave, and B. tell someone. It must have been hard for her to live through it all.
It's a shame that someone didn't come forward years ago. Many victim's could have been spared.
I did not watch the trial. I only heard of the outcome online. I still had to think, "wow, this must be something on his family". His son (I don't know his age) must be horrified with shame. I know I would be. It will take a long time for this to "go away", and I wouldn't blame him (the son) if he changed his name to hide his identity.
Oh, and I love how the state AG says "We believe kids here in PA". I say there was something wrong with the system that aloud a pedophile to be a foster parent. I am not surprised, as we use to be foster parents, and KNOW the whole system is so screwed up.
Sad, just sad. I pray that the victims find peace and compassion in their hearts.
I didn't watch the trails. I couldn't bear to watch him and those who defended him. I am sorry for the victims as they have a long road to healing from this man's actions. I do not wish him harm, but I do hope that some day he realizes the horrible things he did to innocent lives and confesses. I think too many people closed their eyes and looked the other way just because of who he was and because of money. So sad!
ADDENDUM....I was trying to add to my comment when time ran out.
I hope justice of some sort finds those who covered up Sandusky's egregious crimes, beginning with his wife. No, I cannot believe she wasn't aware of what was transpiring in the basement of their home. No, she isn't absolved of responsibility, even if she buried her head in the sand because she found it too horrendous to contemplate. When children are at risk, an adult has no right to look away and do nothing. I hope she is named a defendant in the civil lawsuits and that she loses everything she owns and finds herself a homeless pauper, which is no less than she deserves for closing her eyes to this horror.
Just as bad are those from the university who covered up Sandusky's monstrous actions in the hope of avoiding scandal and its fallout to the university and their sport. They share Sandusky's guilt in the number of years he was allowed to continue this horror and the number of innocent lives he ruined. They deserve justice, too, though it may only come in the form of disgrace and civil lawsuits.
What is wrong with people who, for any reason whatsoever, turn their backs on the sexual abuse of children???
Paula, you did a brilliant job of writing this article, both from a reporting perspective and that of commentary.
I am so thankful the jurors found this vile man guilty, though how could they not with such overwhelming evidence against him? Still, other juries have given "not guilty" verdicts for defendants whose guilt seemed quite as unassailable. Our so-called justice system in the U.S. is not, unfortunately, a guarantee of real justice.
I hope the suicide watch will prevent Sandusky from taking his own life, and I equally hope he will evade being murdered in prison. Why? I believe he deserves to live out his entire lifespan locked in a prison cell with time to reflect on what he did. The news reports mention that he will be required to undergo psychiatric treatment for pedophilia, and I hope he must sit through countless hours listening to WHY what he did was horrendous and unforgivable.
Everything I've read about the various treatments for pedophilia suggests it's not successful, though there is a fairly recent study of an injection described as a "temporary chemical castration" that completely inhibits abnormal sexual urges, but only while treatment continues on a monthly basis.
I wish all convicted sex offenders were mandated to take these injections forever, in and out of prison, especially since the Supreme Court won't allow actual castration--even in the case of a Texas offender who BEGGED for castration to keep him from giving in to his criminal deviant urges. The Court called castration "cruel and unusual punishment" and ruled that it is unconstitutional...as though sexual abuse is NOT? (I have lost all respect for the U.S. Supreme Court and the justices who are there for life unless they opt to resign.)
Thanks for this brilliant hub! Voted UP and all the way across (except "funny", of course).
My heart goes out to all his victims and their families.
He is awful, vile, guilty and most assuredly gone.
As you already said in this hub the story of what Jerry Sandusky is guilty of doing is sad, sick and for his victims, tragic in that it will continue to affect them for the rest of their lives regardless of whether they came forth at the trial.
I feel bad for his family. It must be horrible for them to go through all this.
With that said, I say, let the victim's families have at him before he gets to prison. Prisoners HATE child abusers, and I'm sure he'll probably get a lot more than raped in prison. Karma...it's a good thing.
Oh, this is such a sad-sad occurrence in the lives of too many people - sexual abuse - The unacceptable, unforgivable deed of an adult towards a child, forcing the child in a wrong direction to happiness - a bumpy detour of many decades to the destiny of peace and joy everybody had wished for the child, and the chance that such a child ever reach this destiny is almost zero.
How on earth did he manage to victimize 48 children? Why was he not reported by the first unfortunate victim?
The only solution for this horrific problem, is - 1) People who have the tendency to molest children should REALIZE that they need professional support. They should take responsibility for their weakness and control it with or without professional support. 2) Children should KNOW why they should not allow an adult to ruin their precious lives, they should report without any delay and without fearing the consequences, the slightest abuse.
Signed: A survivor of sexual abuse, crying my heart out not only for the victims, but also for Jerry Sandusky who had allowed his own crooked urges to bring him to this state of dishonor.
This is a brilliantly written article on a truly horrible subject.
I too was unaware of the abuse on his own son. It boggles the mind and yes, it does make the skin crawl. You are a tremendous writer fpherj48.
Lets hope he gets raped in prison then he'll know how those poor boys feel.
Voted up useful and interesting. Joyce.
Thank you for writing such an excellent article! I couldn't bring myself to pen an article about Sandusky, as vile as the man is. I am thankful and grateful for the victims that he is finally getting his due. Now, the authorities need to go after the higher ups at the university that knew about this and did nothing. I still to this day cannot absolve JoePa even though he has died over all this. I still cannot believe he looked the other way and allowed this to go on. I used to revere the university and now I have lost all respect for it.
The bottom line is those boys' lives are forever ruined. They will always live life in the shadow of this abuse. They were so brave to come forth and testify against him. When I heard about the adopted son, I nearly keeled over from disgust for this monster. As you said this is a sad, sick chapter that is over - how can we prevent this from happening again elsewhere? As a society we never seem to learn from our mistakes.
May he rot you know where. I didn't follow this trial. I didn't know about his adopted son either. I was on Facebook when the verdict came in and the site was on fire with comments! May the karma bus runneth over.

"The most solid advice for a writer is this, I think: Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough." – William Saroyan
Greetings from the South! Fall weather is here, trying desperately to flirt with a Southern Winter every now and then; dang if the girl isn't flirting back every couple of days.
The house is full of activity. Football games on the weekends, homework on the weeknights, movies, books, art festivals, music, laughter, writing, and living. William Saroyan was quite right in his assessment for a writer. We get bogged down sometimes in characters, plotlines, settings, grammar and word counts. We often slip into our fictional worlds and shut off the one around us. His words remind me that we must pull from the life we are leading in order to bring our fictional worlds alive. If we forget to experience, to observe, to enjoy then we are shortchanging the characters we love. For them to breathe we must give them emotions, give them life experiences, give them knowledge or hide from them what they need not know just yet…So take his advice. Live. You just might find that whatever has you bogged down in your writing will be released and discovery is one of the best side effects life has to offer.

The Samsung Stratosphere comes with a fairly stock Android web browser that performed about as expected in our tests: 5832.9ms with SunSpider 0.9.1 and 160 with PeaceKeeper, compared to the far zippier 2246.2ms and 315, respectively, with an iPhone 4S.
The stock Flash-enabled browser doesn't quite have the kick of the Android 4.0-only Google Chrome, but it's perfectly serviceable for those who don't want or need to sync bookmarks from the desktop.
On the other hand, the Stratosphere manages to make the most of Verizon's 4G LTE, pulling down a whopping 16.11Mbps while pushing a respectable 5.97Mbps upstream. The results were far less impressive on the carrier's aging 3G network, which only managed 0.33Mbps down and 0.61Mbps up in our tests.
Although we can't imagine surviving with such slow 3G, the Stratosphere is at least noteworthy for its ability to completely switch off 4G LTE (under Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > System Selection) for those who prefer to maximize battery life while on CDMA only.
The Stratosphere isn't exactly a slouch when it comes to multimedia connectivity, either, with a surprisingly comprehensive array of preinstalled options. AllShare allows playing or downloading media from your phone to a compatible player, tapping into the same from a PC or laptop and more.
Verizon has also loaded up the handset with its own media content available in V CAST Music, V CAST Tones and V CAST Videos. Samsung's Media Hub also allows for renting movies, TV shows and more right from your handset.

Telephones in Canada are available in two main formats: landlines and cellular telephones. Both offer local and international long-distance services.
Landline telephones are administered by companies such as Telus and Bell Canada. Which company provides your service will depend on where in Canada you wish to study, since different provinces have different service providers. Landlines provide unlimited local service for a minimal monthly expense (about 25$). You can also add long-distance services for additional fees. You may also purchase pre-paid phone-cards, which can be used at any landline telephone.
Cell phones are very popular in Canada. Many Canadians have both a cell phone and a landline. Some people, including many students, choose to have only a cell phone, as cell phones have both local and long-distance ability. There are a number of cell phone companies in Canada offering different packages and incentives. You can sign up for a plan or a pay-as-you-go option, which requires no contract. Some research will tell you which is the right plan for you. While you may be able to use a cell phone brought from your home-country, it will be long distance and therefore costly.
Many cities in Canada now have what's called "10-digit dialing," which means you must dial the area code of the number you are calling. The local telephone book will have a listing of area codes for the various areas around the city. Use the telephone book as a source of for local emergency numbers and government offices as well.

Captain Daryl Mitchell led Worcestershire's battle for survival with an unbeaten century on Tuesday as his side's batsmen finally found some fight against Middlesex.
The opener's dogged 129, grafted over six hours, was not easy on the eye. But his triumph of application and patience blunted the visitors' sharp attack and maintained the hosts' slim hopes of avoiding relegation.
Closing five runs short of securing three batting points, Worcestershire's bowlers will now hope to take advantage of conditions between the showers forecast on Wednesday.
They may be further cheered by Andrew Strauss's absence at the top of the batting order for Middlesex. The England captain pulled out of the match seeking further rest after the South Africa series.
Worcestershire's flaky batting performances have left them rooted to the bottom of Division One, and Middlesex gleefully accepted the chance to bowl after winning the toss.
Mitchell hooked the first ball of the match for four, then retreated to a wall of defence as he set about occupying the crease.
At the other end, Phil Hughes was pretty to watch for half an hour as the sun shone, all flashing square cuts and sweetly-timed pull shots.
But there was a lack of permanence about his innings, and after being dropped at second slip for 29, he added only five more runs before top edging a short ball from Toby Roland-Jones to fine leg.
Roland-Jones, a highly rated 24-year-old paceman, threatened to feast on the Worcestershire batsmen as many attacks have this season, removing Matthew Pardoe and Moeen Ali in quick succession.
But Alexei Kervezee, returning to the side for the first time in four months, launched a breezy counterattack, scoring 55 in a 114-run stand with Mitchell, before throwing his wicket away just before tea with a loose drive to mid-on.
The Dutchman's opening in the side came after Vikram Solanki was dropped. The former England international and Worcestershire stalwart, who has spent 19 years at the club, appears to have played his last game for them.
But whether Worcestershire, or Solanki's new club Surrey, will be playing in Division One next season, remains in the balance.

SRINAGAR: The Jammu and Kashmir Transport Department (JKTD) has not implemented an SRO (Service Rules Order) that waived the token and passenger tax for vehicles which were off roads during last year's civil uprising and curfew.
The Transport Secretary had on March 24 exempted such vehicles from taxes with effect from July 1, 2016, to December 2016 through an SRO, a copy of which is with Kashmir Reader. The transporters had been asked to furnish an affidavit saying that their vehicle was not plying on the roads during the said period.
However, transporters say they have been asked to pay all taxes. General Secretary of Kashmir Passengers Welfare Transporters Association, Mohammad Yousuf, told Kashmir Reader that the Regional Transport Office (RTO) Kashmir has told transporters that many have already paid the taxes, and therefore, the remaining lot should pay as well.
"What does this SRO stand for when it has not been implemented? Though Jammu had not suffered in 2016, but they too have taken its benefits and those who deserve it are being pushed to the wall. The RTO should respect the SRO and return the tax to those who have already paid it," Yousuf said.
In February, Yousuf had met Chief Minster Mehbooba Mufti and Finance Minister Haseeb Drabu and both of them had agreed to waive the taxes. Yousuf said that the SRO was issued after this meeting.
"I have already met the RTO Kashmir officer many times in this regard but to no avail," Yousuf said.
Transporters had been affected for nearly six months due to the 2016 anti-India uprising triggered by the killing of popular rebel Burhan Wani.
President of All Jammu and Kashmir Tampo Travellers Association, Fayaz Ahmad, said that the RTO Kashmir told him that a technical glitch in software through which payment is done has caused the problem.
"I met him last week, but the problem is still there," he said.
Transport Secretary Hemant Kumar Sharma said the department has already written to the finance department to absorb the already paid tax in the next fiscal, but they have not yet responded.
"Regarding the technical glitch, I will take up the issue and get it resolved as soon as possible. And once the finance department returns our request regarding absorption of already paid tax in the next fiscal, we will get into action," he said.
Minister of State for Transport Sunil Kumar Sharma told Kashmir Reader that he will look into the issue.

The Hungry Texan in Southern Living Magazine
My Utterly Deadly Southern Pecan Pie recipe has been featured in this month's Southern Living Magazine! I was contacted back in August but couldn't really believe it until I saw it in print (with a full page photo!).
Southern Living says, "This pecan pie is to die for! Forget your tried-and-true pecan pie recipe and replace it immediately with this one. You'll never look back." I'm beaming with pride.
In case you're not a Southern Living subscriber, here is a link to the online recipe.

Whoo-hoo! Congratulations!!!!!!! I was recently contacted and asked permission to publish a recipe... I know the feeling - pure joy!ReplyDelete
Yaaaaaaaaaaay! Congratulations, Sylvia! That's fantastic news. This will be my pecan pie recipe for the holidays this year!ReplyDelete
Made this today and it was great. My guests pronounced it as a keeper! Thanks CarolReplyDelete
I'm a Yankee married to a man who LOVES Pecan Pie. I was visiting a friend in NC this month and she had the magazine. I saw this recipe and made it for hubby this past weekend. Let me say this - I have never liked pecan pie (too gelatinous, overly sweet). WELL! We both fell in love with your pecan pie! It was so easy to make and looked gorgeously country-rustic in the skillet. And the taste? AMAZING! Slightly crunchy top gives way to a moist, sweet interior and the bourbon adds a lovely touch. WELL DONE! (And hubby declared this to be the only pecan pie recipe I'm ever to use.)ReplyDelete
Can I make this in a regular pie pan(glass)? I don't have a cast iron skillet.ReplyDelete
Yes, this can absolutely be made in a regular pie dish. Just keep in mind that you may to add a little cooking time because a pie dish is typically 9" and a skillet 10" so the pie dish will be pretty full.ReplyDelete
I think I have a 10" pie pan which would be perfect, if not i know I have a deep dish pie pan.ReplyDelete
yaay Sylvia :)That is wonderful :)ReplyDelete
Congrats Sylvia.ReplyDelete

"Me. This is my Sincere Look. Me me me. MeMeMeMeMe. No one else. Got it? I totally look like Kate, right?"
Another phony baloney, court-photographer-only, meeting of The Mary Fund in one of the more palatable rooms in the psychedelic palace at Amalienborg. This gal is being TIGHTLY controlled by the Grey Men. They know exactly who they are dealing with: a vacuous, narcisstic, tightly-wound publicity hound with nothing to offer. Not even the chairwoman of this tackily-named fund seemed to show up at this slide show meeting. These photies are to make you believe that Mary and Mary alone runs this show, and that it's more than just a front to get her invited to empty, global celebrity charity events (and act as a money filter for the ALERKA vaccuum) and invites back to Oz for Looker Me! Tours. This stupid chick will stop at nothing to get her ugly mug in the press, but she brings NOTHING to the table. Daisy, girl, I hope you are just giving her enough rope for her to hang herself!
Kate dress and Kate affectations!
A carefully choreographed photo to make you believe Mary runs the place and that everyone there is her lackey. Nuh-uh. She's controlled by having Caroline at her left, and Derfie's court marshal (the new Per the Hornet) Christian Schønau two down on her right. This is all styled for your consumption so you don't see that MADAM IS REALLY THE WORLD'S BIGGEST BOGAN!

Obesity has become a major health condition in western world around the world, but particularly in the United States. Being clinically obese brings by using it the risk of struggling with an array of other health complications, and will also trigger a number of physiological and emotional problems. The main cause appears to be overeating, or otherwise eating the proper foods, and failure to exercise every day, but some folks are quite likely going to becoming obese as opposed to runners. Thyroid of pituitary gland disorders is most likely the cause, as can a decreased basal metabolism, or even merely old genetics.
Studies show a large number of individuals today have gotten progressively more health-conscious; though more often than not, someone who obtains any scratch, scrape or perhaps minimal wound could possibly be far more troubled concerning getting a scar in lieu of having a wound contamination. It really is unbelievable however real. The type of society we are moving into today will teach all people that skin appearances counts regardless of whether with regards to having work or joining in a captivating relationship. Anytime a person receives a scuff, he/she doesn?t mind what amount is really invested in products that could increase the epidermis. Controlling marks from wounds don't have any reason to generally be costly nonetheless. See directly below ideas in regards to the right wound maintenance together with elimination regarding scar formation.

My new single 「Skogsrået」is out! You can find it on Spotify and on Soundcloud. All songs are also available on Gance Media's YouTube account.
This is my second solo single and my first release in Swedish. Singing is Swedish is quite difficult for me, even though its my mother tongue. I believe its because its the language that is the closest to myself, so I feel a lot more vulnerable singing in Swedish. I still wanted to do it though, because the song is about a creature from Nordic folklore, so it felt more natural to do it in Swedish. However, I decided to do an English version because I want to be able to connect to more people. Translating the lyrics was difficult, but I am rather pleased with it.
Skogsrået is a creature living in the woods, and like most other Nordic creatures she can be either helpful or vicious depending on her mood. I've been fascinated with her for many years and she's one of my favourite creatures in Norse mythology. It also is personal to me because I grew up in the forest, so I like the mysterious feel it has to it, and I tried to convey that in the sound of the music.
I hope you enjoy this release!

Halloween Witch"
Each year they parade her about . . . the traditional witch......
Misshapen green face, stringy scraps of hair, and a toothless mouth
beneath her disfigured nose. Gnarled, knobby fingers twisted into a claw,
protracting from a bent and twisted torso that lurches about on wobbly
Most think this abject image to be the creation of a prejudiced mind, or
merely a Halloween caricature. I disagree.
I believe this is how witches were really seen. Consider most
witches were women, were abducted in the night, and smuggled into dungeons
or prisons under secrecy of darkness, to be presented by the light of the
day as a confessed witch.
Few, if any saw a frightened, normal looking woman being dragged into a
secret room filled with instruments of torture....to be questioned until
she confessed to anything that was suggested to her, and to give names or
whatever would stop the questions. Crowds saw the aberration denounced to
the world as a self-proclaimed witch.
As the witch was paraded through the town, en route to be burned, hanged,
drowned, stoned, or disposed of in various other forms of Christian love .
. . all created to free and save her soul from her depraved body, crowds
viewed the results of hours of torture. The face, bruised and broken, by
countless blows, bore a hue of sickly green. The once warm and loving
smile gone, replaced by a grimace of broken teeth and torn gums that leers
beneath a battered, disfigured nose. The disheveled hair conceals bleeding
gaps of torn scalp from whence cruel hands had torn away lovely tresses.
Broken, twisted hands clutched the wagon for support. Fractured fingers
locked like groping claws to steady her broken body. All resemblances of
humanity were gone. This was truly a demon, a Satan, a witch.
I revere this Halloween crone and hold her sacred above all. I honor her
courage and listen to her warnings of the dark side of humanity. Each year
I shed tears of respect and remember her involuntary sacrifice in the name
of religion.
May this remind us of those who were persecuted as witches, though many
were healers and midwives, women who owned land, and those who spoke out
against the rulers of the time. Remember
the "Halloween Witch", along with all the others who have gone
before you.

Slums of Dublin...Part16 (Glendalough.)
"Ma, Hey Ma! Do ye have a Roches stores plastic bag. I need it for to carry me gear for me holliers in Glendalough?"...."Will ye shut bleedin` up! I`m tryin` to watch Tolka Row on the telly!"..."Ah Jayz ma, I have to get all me gear ready for the mornin`. I`m meetin` Caroline at the St. Kevins` bus stop on Stephen`s Green!"..."That brazzer from O`Devaney Gardens! Jaysus, would ye not get yerself a nice posh mot from Clontarf or somewhere?"....Next Morning I head down to the Green, and there's Caroline with a big bleedin suitcase at the busstop..."Jaysus, were only goin` for the weekend!"...."Well I`m not like you, wearin the same jocks for a week!"..."Hey! Since we`re beside the Dandelion market, Do ye want to go in and get some frenchies, and you ask for them cause I'd be too bleedin` embarrassed!"... Caroline goes up to this stall and asks a hippie mot for the frenchies, while I pretend to be rummagin` through lp`s in the next stall...."I have Durex and Trojan, but I make my boyfriend use Durex cause it feels much better!" We arrive at the Laragh Inn to be met by the proprieter Michael Lynham...He shows us to our room..."He re`s yer bunkbeds in the corner there. The other eight bunkbeds are already taken by the Tallaght boyscouts!"...."Jaysus! I thought we were gettin` a private room, and where`s the jax?"...."4fuksake! What do yis want for 50 quid, and yis can use the jax in the pub!"..."You can have the top bunk. I`m not letting bleedin` boyscouts watch me climb into bed at night. Jaysus I`m bleedin` parchin`, lets go get a vodka!" says Caroline.....Into the bar we head where we are introduced to our tour guide Aidan Lynham...."Howyis, are yis ready for a good hike up the Green road and a bit of history of the area?" ..."I hope theres not a lot of climbin` cause I only have me platforms!".....As we`re walkin` towards the old Mill hostel, I noticed Aidan kept starin` at Caroline`s diddies...."Now folks, this is where Saint Kevin had a monastery, and this is where the monks used to pray, and this is..."...."Jaysus Aidan, will ye stop talkin` shite and give us a bit of juicy history!" sez Caroline....."Well, let me see...Do ye see that shed over there, that's where I got me first nat-king-cole"... Come to think of it, I noticed a lot of bockety sheep around....After the bollix walked the guts out of us for five miles or more, we eventually got back to Lynhams Pub. "I`m bleedin` starvin` , lets go get our dinnaw !"sez Caroline....Out comes gourmet chef, John Lynham. "Good evening folks, our menu this evening is Granby burger, Batchelors peas, and chips, garnished with one slice of lettuce!"...."Ah Jaysus, is that all? That wouldn't feed a bleedin` pidgeon. Have ye got a few slices of Batch loaf to go with it?"...."I`m afraid that's not part of your package, you`ll have to pay extra, 10p per slice of batch!"...That evening the entertainment was provided by John Aherne. As he is singing "The fields of Athenry", Caroline gets up to go to the jax. John shouts into the mike: "I wonder where that wan`s going?"..."Jaysus, yer makin` me bleedin` scarlet!"...At 1am its back to the "hostel dorm" where Caroline is trying to undress inconspicuously, while at the same time having a dose of the giggles (compliments of the 10 bacardi and cokes)....All the Tallaght boy scouts were playing "tents" at this stage...."Now lads! Close yisser eyes or I`ll tell yisser` Ma`s. Yisser a bit bleedin` young for gawkin` yet!"...11am the next mornin` we went back into the pub for a curer. We were sittin` at the bar when we noticed the barmaid (Bridget Lynham) pouring a pint of Guinness for a Yank tourist and putting a shamrock on the head. "I`ll have one of them!" says Caroline..."Sorry, thats only for the American tourists, not for brazzers!"...."Wha` Jaysus I`ll bleedin` reef ye!"....With that she grabs Bridget by the hair and tries to pull her over the bar...We got trun out with Caroline screamin` "I`ll get the Cabra Bootgirls to sort the bleedin` lot of yis out!"....That was Caroline, my Caroline, a true Dublin Brazzer if there ever was wan.

In Notes from a Small Island the American author Bill Bryson describes his first ever visit to England. Eager to discover the country, but thoroughly unaware of local habits, he ends up spending the night on a bench in cold, foggy Dover, with a pair of underpants on his head as an improvised headwarmer. Despite this bumpy start, this night was the first spark of a love affair with the country and Bryson has since spent the majority of his adult life living in Britain.
I often think of this story, when I think about scientists on the move, starting a new position in a new country.
In many ways, these scientists resemble Bryson: they move, eager to discover not only exciting new science, but also a new place, it's traditions and people. Also, even for seasoned "movers" there are always local procedures and issues that catch them unaware and unprepared. Unfortunately, unlike for Bryson, this time abroad often does not turn into a love affair with the new place – instead it remains a constant uphill struggle, battling with administration and customs that put scientists from abroad at a financial disadvantage or cause emotional stress. Even more annoyingly, often these problems could be resolved with minimal effort on behalf of the academic host institutions, making it all the more frustrating to be stuck in a one-(wo)man war against the system. To give an simple example: When I moved to France a few years ago, my university required a mandatory X-ray of the lungs within the first month, which could only be obtained from a short list of select doctors. I –like many other foreign postdocs – arrived with only rudimentary knowledge of French, only to discover that none of the shortlisted doctors spoke English! It was extremely discomforting having to strip to the waist in front of a rather severe nurse who treated me like an idiot, handled me less than gently and didn't speak a word of English. Surely, it must have been possible to put at least one doctor on the list, who spoke English?!?
Intriguingly, having spoken to scientists elsewhere, I have found that many of us struggle with the same problems when we move abroad. So I have collected some of these below, together with some suggestions on how to fix them.
- Information, information, information.
One of the biggest problems for incoming scientists is the lack information: there is little of it, or it's hidden somewhere in the endless depth of departmental websites, and even when it is provided it may come too late. The information in question may cover a breadth of topics, from help with temporary housing (does the institute provide any, if not are there any recommendations where to start looking?), through admin (eg in France an original copy of a birth certificate is needed – not a standard document for one to carry around) to help with settling an entire family in a new country (eg what childcare and schooling opportunities are available, at what cost and how long are wait lists). Often, the hosting lab goes out of it's way to help with these issues, but if you are the first postdoc or first scientist from abroad in a given lab, labmates might not know the right answers. But a lack of information could be easily fixed by providing detailed, easy-to-navigate information pages on the institute website. This could either be a wiki that is updated by the resident foreign scientists, or a centrally maintained repository of information, as long as it is updated regularly and – ideally – a link is sent prior to arrival in a foreign country.
- Money talks: moving country can be an expensive process, starting with visa fees to travel costs, all the way to advances on rent or furnishing a new apartment. During this critical period every penny counts, and it can be extremely aggravating when bad management or communication on behalf of an institute puts scientists in a position that results in either cash flow problems, or even direct financial loss. For example, the habits for transferring the first salary differ from country to country. When I started work in Germany, we were given our first payment as a cheque on it's first due date. Whereas in the US the first salary can only be transferred after obtaining a social security number, which takes approx 1-1.5 months. But host institutions are often unaware that their system may be very different from the system elsewhere: had I not asked about this issue before I moved to the US, I would not have "mobilized" enough cash to keep me going for such a long period of time.
Or consider visa costs, which can add up to a fair sum, especially if a scientist has family on dependent visas. Ideally, institutions should carry these costs, but in cases where this is not possible, they should at least ensure that visas are issued for the maximum time possible, so scientists are not burdened unnecessarily with recurring fees (my current US university for example only issues 1-year visas, even if you have funding for multiple years). Institutes should identify recurring problems through discussions with foreign scientists, and should aim to resolve these either by disseminating necessary information, or by implementing policies that do not add to the financial burden of scientists.
- Institutional support:
a large part of scientific training is creative problem-solving and independence. But sometimes there are problems that are too big for an individual person. Take the custom of the guarantor in France: this is a person who guarantees to pay rent if the tenant does not. Ideally, this should be a French person with substantial income, but alternatively, some banks offer to take on the role as a guarantor, if a substantial sum of money is deposited in an account. However, this latter option generally has an age limit of 30-35 years, so older postdocs who are looking for an apartment are not eligible. Individual scientists will find it difficult to circumvent these rules, but academic institutions with their prestige could arrange bulk negotiations with banks, supporting their workforce from abroad. In a completely different setting, academic institutes could support scientists in their effort to integrate locally by providing language courses for the native language. Frequently, such language courses are on offer, but I have repeatedly heard admin complain that scientists do not attend. From a researcher's point of view I can say that this is not surprising: if the courses are organized in the middle of the day, possibly even on another campus, then they are essentially incompatible with a researcher's schedule. What can institutions do? Well, here clearly a little input and initiative is required: they should identify recurring problems that are beyond the capacity of individual scientists (eg through consultation) and see if there is a way to resolve them through the organizational capacity of an institution.
In summary, where does that leave scientists from abroad? Well, I think it is perfectly fair for them to ask that they should not suffer potential disadvantages to their standard of living, their finances and their general wellbeing simply because they are foreigners. And (you may have noticed the recurring theme in my points above) I think this can be achieved if institutions up their game a little when it comes to communicating and tweaking existing procedures. This should require minimal effort on behalf of the institutions – but it's definitely a case, where a little might go a very long way. I truly believe that the line between calling a new place a home away from home or feeling like a second class citizen is a thin one, and where one stands can often depend on whether scientists feel valued (in real terms) by their institution.

"Swing For The Kids 3"
Our closing act for this year's festival was chosen after
Leslie & I saw her in concert at the Hard Rock, in front of
a crowd that would not let her leave the stage. We spoke
to her managment company, headed by Melissa Foxx,
whom many of you would recognize from her shows with Real Radio 104.1, and asked if we could get Linda to help
us with our project for the kids. Melissa, we love you for
all of your help! And now, for our headline entertainment
for "Swing For The Kids, 2004!! We give you:
To even begin to explain to anyone who was not lucky
enough to be at Linda's show, terms like, "What a night!"
and "What a show!" , have to be used. Her band was tight,
and she opened her performance with a great acoustic
set that made the crowd feel as though they were sitting alone with her. By time the whole band came out on stage, Linda had already won her place in the hearts of the audience. Here just a few photos that cannot begin to
capture the magic of this great young star on the rise:
V-Man, you rock!!!
Linda, Thank You so much, for helping us help the kids
who need our help the most! Your performance was one
we will always remember.
Please come back & visit us again.
And as the bands started to tear down their gear, and the shuttle buses began to take the audience back to their cars,
we said goodbye to another fabulous weekend at Minneola
Trailhead Park. We cannot say enough to thank the staff of the City of Minneola, the staff of Events Unlimited,
the sponsors of our weekend, the great B-B-Q teams who
competed for the State Championships, Judy Otterbacher, with her great carnival midway, and our many Elks and
friends like Bill & Susan Mims, and Richard & Tracy
Maline, Richie Parker, and so many others who lent
their talents, time & resources to our weekend for the
kids. Especially, the City of Minneola, who allowed us
to host our event for misfortunate children in their
beautiful city park. To one and all, we say "Thank
You!" and express the hope that you will allow us
to be apart of your Minneola Fall Festival next year!
And now, just a few of our Elks & friends who worked
so hard to make this weekend come together for the
children of Florida Elks Children's Therapy Services:
We thank God, we thank the City of Minneola,
we thank all of the bands, we thank Red & Cathy Slack with Positive Power Productions, we thank
the Orlando Sentinel, we thank Schenck Distributors, we thank all of the hard working
Elks of Clermont-Groveland Elks Lodge #1848,
and we thank all of our sponsors, donors,
and friends who allowed us to have this
great weekend for the Elks kids!
And, a very special thanks to Zildjian
cymbals & sticks, & Premier Drums!!!!
Our sincere thanks & love to you all!!!
We look forward to seeing you all next year!
Joey & Leslie Eberline, and Lou Rosado, co-chairman

What Every Kentucky Resident Needs to Know About Radon Elimination
No matter where you live in the state of Kentucky, your home could be at risk from radon contamination. Radon is a colorless and odorless radioactive gas, and it is found naturally in the environment. In fact radon is so widespread that many Kentucky residents could have radon problems and not even know it.
That is because radon does nothing to make its presence known in your Kentucky home. Unlike other contaminants, you cannot smell, touch or taste radon in the air. But it could be there all the same, putting you, your family and your home at risk. Radon can cause serious problems for Kentucky residents, including lung cancer, so the sooner you get your home tested the sooner you can start protecting your family.
Take Comfort Knowing Your Lexington Kentucky Home is Radon Free
Having your Kentucky home tested for radon can give you peace of mind, or give you a heads up and help you mitigate any damage from the radioactive gas. If you have your home tested for radon and the tests come back negative, you have one less thing to worry about. But if those radon tests come back positive, you can start taking steps to get rid of the radon that has already seeped in from the Kentucky countryside.
Radon Specialists Will Use Several Methods To Make Your Home Radon Free
Radon testing and mitigation companies use a number of techniques to free your home of contamination from radon. The exact techniques they will use depend on the nature of the problem, but you cannot move forward until you have your home tested for radon.
When you call a radon testing company doing business in Kentucky, you can expect to answer a few questions about the type of home you have and where you live. Once those questions are out of the way, you can set up an appointment with the Kentucky radon testing company. A representative from that home will then visit you and test for high levels of radon inside your home. If high levels are found, the radon testing company will go further, looking for places where that radon could be seeping into your home. Once they know where the radon is entering your home, they will be in a better position to help you deal with and eliminate the problem.
There is No Way of Knowing Your Home is Radon Free Without a Test
Even if you do not think you have a problem with radon in your Kentucky neighborhood, you can never be too careful. Until you have your home tested, you will never know whether or not this silent killer is present in your home.
If you have never had your Kentucky home tested for radon, now is the perfect time to have that test done. And if you have had your home tested a number of years ago, it might be time to have it tested again. Radon problems can crop up quickly due to changes in the environment, and having your home tested regularly is the best way to protect your home and your family.

Every year without fail, away football games, homecoming, and my sorority's Big Little night always fell right around Halloween, leaving me with pretty much zero funds to invest in an awesome costume. So, what's a girl to do when she's broke but still wants a rockin' costume? Find free Halloween costume ideas, that's what.
Don't worry friends, CF is to the rescue! In this post, I've listed 10 non-lame and non-lazy Halloween costume ideas that you can create from pieces that you (or one of your BFFs) will certainly have in your closet.
Let's get right to it!
1. A Doll
Promo Material
There's two ways you can go with this idea — a Barbie doll or a porcelain doll.
For Barbie, all you need is a hot pink dress and matching high heels. If you have an acid-washed denim jacket or anything sequined, be sure to wear that, too! Another fun idea is to look in your sorority house's costume closets or even your mom's closet for an '80s inspired party dress.
Make your hair huge with hot rulers, a teasing comb, and ton of hairspray. (Of course it helps if you're a blonde, but it's totally not necessary!) Finish with pink lipstick, shimmery pink blush, blue eyeshadow, and tons of black mascara.
For a porcelain doll, wear a white button-down shirt with a peter pan collar, a frilly shirt, white lacy socks, and Mary Jane flats or heels. Braid your hair in pigtails, or use a curling iron to give yourself tight, Shirley Temple-esque curls all over your head.
Use heavy blush (or even light lipstick or cheek stain) to fill in pink circles on your cheeks, and use eye liner to draw in thick eyelashes under your eyelids. Finish with lots of mascara and matte pink lips.
2. A Hippie
Screen Capture
Thanks to '70s fashion making a huge comeback, it should be a cinch to gather up all of the pieces you need for a fantastic hippie costume.
Start with a pair of bell bottom-shaped jeans and find either a peasant top or floral patterned button down to wear with it. Add fringe boots or platforms, then wear a hairband across your forehead.
Put waves in your hair or braid random strands around your face. Finish the look with layered statement jewelry, a faux fur or suede vest, and a cross-body bag.
3. A Fashion Victim
Screen Capture
If you have a quirky sense of humor (and have had more than a couple questionable trips to Forever 21) being a "Fashion Victim" could be a great option for you!
For this costume, simply wear all of the most polarizing fashion trends you can think of at the same time. For example, wear a dress over a pair of jeans, a fedora, a fur vest, sneaker wedges, a loud scarf, too many bangle bracelets, and a ring on every finger.
4. A Kid Who's Sick and Home From School
Screen Capture
Dressing as a kid that's home sick from school is a great costume option if you want to stay warm and look absolutely adorable.
If you're like me, you have more pairs of matching pajama top and bottom sets than you're willing to admit. These would look adorable with a pair of old house slippers, and a warm robe.
Throw curlers in your hair if you want to look silly–toting a teddy bear would be a pretty funny, too! If you wanted, you could even carry a sippy cup around to drink your beverages out of all night.
5. Where's Waldo?
Promo Material
This recognizable Where's Waldo? costume is hilarious and perfect if you happen to have a red and white striped sweater or long-sleeved shirt laying around.
Add a red beanie, then complete the costume with a pair of jeans and brown shoes. For a free pair of glasses, pop the lenses out of a cheap pair of sunglasses. You know those plastic wayfarers that places always seem to give away? They will work perfectly for this purpose!
While dressed as Waldo, be sure to photobomb as many people as possible throughout the night!
6. G.I. Jane
Screen Capture
If you have camouflage or military-inspired clothing, dressing up as G.I. Jane (or a generic person in the armed forces) is a great and patriotic option!
Some combination of skinny cargos, an army anorak, a camo jacket, or a patched button-down will work great for this look. Demi Moore as G.I. Jane had a bald head, but feel free to leave yours down or tucked into a hat. Smudge dirt (or brown eyeshadow) on your face for added effect. Finish with a pair of combat boots and you're good to go!
7. Rosie the Riveter
Image via Wikimedia Commons
We mention this costume a lot in our CF Halloween posts, and for good reason: All you really need to pull off an iconic Rosie the Riveter costume is a red bandana, a blue or chambray button down shirt, and a ton of attitude! It's probably our favorite easy costume of all time.
To get the look, pull your hair into a bun or a French twist, and tie a red bandana around your head. Roll the sleeves of your shirt up, and wear with a pair of khakis and sneakers. Pull out your red lipstick, and be sure to pose while flexing your arm in every picture you take!
8. Sandy from Grease
Screen Capture
All you need to dress up as Sandy from Greaseis a pair of leather-like or coated leggings or pants, a skin-tight black top, and a chic pair of red heels!
For Sandy's hair, curl one inch sections and pin it half-up half down. Draw on cat-eye liner, add some gray eyeshadow, and finish with some bad-gal red lipstick.
9. An iPod Advertisement
Promo Material
This costume will be a throwback, but everyone that didn't live under a rock during the aughts is bound to recognize those memorable iPod ads!
All you'll need is a head-to-toe black ensemble. If you have black gloves, a black scarf, or a black hat, that will add to your look! If you don't have an "old school" iPod, make one out of cardboard or cut out the face of one and tape it to your cellphone. Pop in your ear buds and strike dramatic dance poses all night!
10. An Anchorwoman
Screen Capture
With Anchorman 2 coming out soon, this movie is hot on everyone's mind. Not to mention, an anchorman costume can easily be constructed out of business professional basics!
In addition to your business suit and a blouse, add a scarf, a pair of glasses, and wear your hair in a bun or a French twist for an extra touch of character. Carry around papers to look like a script, and DIY a microphone out of construction paper and a toilet paper roll.
This costume could also make for such a fun group look!
What Do You Think?
Are funds tight for you around Halloween also? What are some of the most creative costumes you've made on a shoestring budget? What are you planning on dressing up as for Halloween? What other ideas do you have for free costumes?

A value investment course that is simple to understand and simple to execute
Alvin first communicated with me after I wrote a eulogy on his late teacher (Dennis Ng). He wrote books on trading and published interviews with Singapore Trading Gurus. Today, he conducts a value investment course. It is good to be open-minded and flexible. There are many ways to make money from financial markets. Without being exposed to the different ways, it is difficult for a person to pick the best one that is suited to his temperament.
Alvin asked me if I would like to attend his course. I had always been a lone operator in investing and never attended any course except read books and paying school fees to Mr Market (I lost lots of money as a newbie and it is more beneficial to share such experiences than boast about winnings). As I preferred to remain anonymous, I refused his request but offered to review his course based on his training materials. Since I am not paid, I am free to write negative stuff, if any.
I do not know how Alvin is like as a trainer. I have never met him in person but I like his intellectual honesty.
It is inevitable to pay school fees to Mr Market along the way. A prerequisite to benefiting from the school fees is to admit your mistakes and take the blame on yourself. Don't blame unfair practices like market manipulation, insider trading, bad advice from brokers etc. Blame yourself because ultimately, the buy and sell decisions are yours to make. I was very impressed with Alvin's honesty when he revealed that he blew up SGD100k in his trading account. Potential students of his value investment course may ask ... why would I want to learn from a loser? Most of us will lose big at some point (me included) no matter how prepared. The loser has a better chance of becoming a winner in future if he is honest about it to himself and family who are affected by the loss. I have reservations in a guru of an investment course who spends more time harping on his winnings than sharing the lessons from his losses. You cannot learn much from someone who boasts about his achievements but you can learn much from someone who reflects on his past mistakes.
I doubt Alvin's training style would be to impress, boast about past achievements to appeal to the greed of newbies who want to get rich quick. If he is which I doubt so, I apologize for writing this positive article on his course.
The CNAV strategy that will be taught in the course involves buying stocks at prices way below their conservatively estimated net asset value. Suppose you buy a company with net assets worth $100 on its balance sheet at $50. Your downside is well-protected. If the company is liquidated today, it is quite unlikely to sell below $50 because of the asset backing. In addition, given that the asset base has adequately compensated the investor for the price paid, he is getting the earning power of the company for free. The company need not be a growth stock or highly profitable as long as its operations are not burning cash. In fact, any profits will be a bonus to the investor.
A few things to note is the quality of the assets. For this kind of asset play which is probably low growth, high quality assets are those that are easy to value and hard to defraud. Cash, marketable securities, real estate fall into this category. Assets whose values are hard to estimate should be discounted heavily to be conservative. Almost 4 years ago, I wrote an article which describes a case study using a method similar to the one employed in Alvin's course.
One problem with this method is the risk of stumbling onto value traps. After all, when something is too cheap to be true, it probably is. To reduce the risk of stumbling onto minefields, Piotroski score is added as an additional screening criteria as taught in the course. A Piotroski score of at least 7 would be good enough.
Every investment strategy has its pros and cons. The problem with the CNAV method is that the stocks uncovered tend to be illiquid and few. A bad scenario will sound like this. Someone runs the CNAV screens and uncovers only 4 stocks. He puts his entire capital into these 4 stocks. Something goes wrong with 2 of them. He tries to cut his losses but the stocks are too illiquid for him to run. There are a few things to note to counter the weaknesses of this strategy. Using the CNAV strategy, does today's market generate enough stocks to provide adequate diversification? If no, the investor needs to watch his position size in each individual stock. It should not be so large that he cannot cut his losses fast enough if something goes wrong later. Fortunately, these problems are less of a concern to the small retail investor as his capital is small.
The CNAV strategy is not suitable for investors with large amounts to invest. This is bad for the big institutional investors but good for small retail investors. Because CNAV stocks are illiquid, they are not worth the attention of the big players. It is because of this neglect that they become so cheap for retail investors who do not mind the illiquidity to pick. Since CNAV is not a scalable strategy, retail investors will need to look for other strategies after they have become successful. That is a good problem to have.
What I like about this course is that it is highly focused on a single concept that is simple to understand and simple to execute. Value investing is simple to understand. What is so hard to understand about the concept of buying something worth $1 and paying $0.50 for it? What is really difficult is its execution. How do you really know it is worth $1.00? The problem gets even more complicated when the investor tries to project future earnings and cashflow. The CNAV strategy has nothing to do with the future. No projection. The investor only needs to know how to read the balance sheet to extract net asset value and apply a discount. A one day course is quite sufficient.
The course costs only SGD98. It is too cheap for the trainers to make meaningful profits. Therefore, it is quite fair that other products/services will be promoted during the course. I cannot review on this aspect because I did not attend the course.
PS: This is not a paid advertising post. Nobody knows my real identity except my wife. I like to share good financial products/services, particularly from fellow Singaporeans. Other similar posts are (Link) and (Link) and (Link)

Agreed on the attractiveness of the course fee.ReplyDelete
$98 is okay for any newbies to gain some structured basic financial and investment training.
Hopefully, it is not what I have experienced before.
Read? It is cheap for obvious reason.
Hi Createwealth8888,ReplyDelete
Alvin invited 2 other bloggers to review his course. They actually attended the course and so, their reviews are more credible than mine. Their experience was better than the one you went to.

Rich people are aware of right strategy that is why they are getting richer and richer. making money is not about effort but your smart strategy and how you plan to generate revenue. http://buildtruewealth.net/ tells you about how to plan your financial strategy so you can lay a solid foundation for your financial managementReplyDelete
I started thinking about it, when we had to find some money to pay for education. Student loans could be quite painful topic for most of the families as it makes them really worried. It happens that our students work hard writing their papers (if you need help apply to Help On Essay papers ) and then they have to pay money while they don`t have job. So my opinion is that we have to teach modern parents and their children how to use money and the best ways to control finances even if they deal with loans. As a rule it appears problematic because of low budgeting skills.ReplyDelete

For me. From me!
My little parcel here has traveled farther than I have for the moment. It was mistakenly sent to Cambodia.
But it managed to find it's way to my home. It arrived in a cute little box:
This was in the box:
A necklace which has a portion of a print of from the Audubon Society Nature Encyclopedia. I was all over that when I first saw it!
The creator, Erica. has a fabulous shop on Etsy. She has all sorts of neat and interesting pieces.
After I finished checking out my new purchase, I started to paint. I am finally liking where this piece is going.
It was way too yellow before. I couldn't seem to add any depth. It felt wrong and I just couldn't see why. I think I have it now. When it dries a bit, I will go in and clean it up a bit so it is not so muddy.
I also worked on a new cardigan:
It is called Sunkist Cardi by Kirsten Kapur. It is worked from the shoulders down on a circular needle as one piece. I am a huge fan of one piece and little seaming!
I also enjoyed watching Rebel play with his toy today:
Well that is cool! I've never uploaded video before.
Napoleon had a great time all in his own right:
This is why I go through so many mouse things.
He likes the sound things make when they hit the ground, like I don't know,dropping my keys behind the stove for example :(
Now you are all up to date about what happens at chez Jocelynn's. lol. I hope you all have a great week end!
