Lions All The Way teaser poster
Tuesday, January 8th, 2013New short film: Singapore fans @ AFF Cup 2012
Monday, December 24th, 2012Singapore are the champions of the 2012 AFF Suzuki Cup! It's been a while since the 2007 victory where Kwa Giu (Watch Football), a tribute to the old National Stadium was filmed.
Since then, a new breed of fans have emerged: Young, passionate and energetic. They stand and sing throughout the whole match. They wave their scarves in choreographed movements. They form a giant Singapore flag with their placards (called a 'tifo'). They have a chant for every player.
Other passive fans might say they are 'sibeh die hard' or even complain that they are blocking their view. But to me, this is what being a football fan is about. Cheering for the team regardless of win, lose or draw.
Hence Hosaywood's new project: a mini short film documenting this new football culture, shot in Kwa Giu style. We hope this level of support will spread bigger and wider in Singapore, reaching the fervent atmosphere of European and South American stadiums. Watch out for this film soon. Majulah!
Kwa Giu (National Stadium) at Archifest 12
Monday, October 15th, 2012A clip from Kwa Giu will screen at ArchiFest Singapore, this Sat 20 Oct 12 at the Archifest Pavilion (opposite Liang Court), with other films about Singapore architecture. More screening details here (free admission).
Kwa Giu (Watch Football) is Hosaywood's tribute to the old National Stadium. The full film is available on DVD now.
Kwa Giu screening at TNP M-league launch
Saturday, January 7th, 2012Singapore's long awaited return to the M-league kicks off next week, and The New Paper will be throwing a launch party on 8 Jan 2012.

The full 30min film Kwa Giu (Hokkien for 'Watch Football') is out now on the Hosaywood DVD.
Hosaywood DVD review on A Nutshell Review
Saturday, August 20th, 2011Hosaywood DVD has been A Nutshell Reviewed:
"Fans of local short films rejoice, as Jacen Tan of Hosaywood has finally gotten his collection of shorts compiled into a DVD. Probably one of the earliest local filmmakers who had his short film go viral like an epidemic on the Internet before the YouTube days…On KWA GIU: From the pre-kick off happenings outside the stadiums with the selling of fan made merchandise and finger foods, to the vocal support of the Singapore Lions when the game is underway, with half time loo interludes and body refueling from the snack bar, right down to lights off, Jacen and Team captured them all, preserving what would be precious memories of how a single location became the melting pot for Singaporeans from all walks of life, there for the sole mission to support our football team (and having a field day while at it), complete with cheers, jeers, and rocking drum beats.
It's as much a tribute to the National Stadium, as it is to the Singapore Football (Diehard) Fan."

The Washington Post Gets Cooking With Rich Landau
Vedges Rich Landau endows readers with his vegan culinary wisdom during an evening with Food and Travel editor Joe Yonan.
Joe Yonan of the Washington Post recently wrote about his experience working in the kitchen with Rich Landau and his wife Kate Jacoby, who are the owners and driving culinary force behind Philadelphia's hottest vegan restaurant, Vedge. Yonan, who penned the foreword for the just-released Vedge cookbook, shares Landau's advice on choosing the best ingredients as the vegan chef prepares one of his original recipes and his wife works on a Chocolate Beets Pots de Creme. "People are often so bound by the recipe that they sometimes get inferior product," says Landau in regards to picking out fresh produce. "People won't buy old fish or old meat, so it astounds me that they'll buy old vegetables." The Post also lists five separate recipes that are adapted from the Vedge cookbook.

Financial Fitness/ ATM safety
Jun 07, 2012 12:00 am
Whether you're traveling or just down the street, ATM safety is very important. Financial institutions go to great lengths to prevent robberies and fraud at cash dispensing machines.
They place ATMs in safe locations, light them well, and use a variety of security measures. Many credit unions and banks also limit the amount of cash that can be withdrawn each day so that a thief can't clean out an account. Use the Ten Tips for ATM Safety & Security below to help make your ATM transactions safe and trouble free.
Ten Tips for ATM Safety
- Treat your ATM card like cash. Always keep your card in a safe place.
- Keep your PIN (Personal Identification Number) a secret. Never write your PIN on your card, don't store it near your card and don't tell anyone your PIN number.
- Always pay close attention to the ATM and maintain awareness of your surroundings. Watch for suspicious persons or activity around an ATM.
- If you notice anything strange, leave and return some other time. If you have already started a transaction, cancel it and leave.
- Minimize time spent at the ATM machine by having your card out and ready. Maintain a small supply of deposit envelopes at home or in your car. Prepare all transaction paperwork prior to your arrival at the ATM.
- Do not allow people to look over your shoulder as you enter your PIN. Don't accept offers of assistance with the ATM from a stranger.
- Never count cash at the ATM or in public. Put it away immediately.
- When using a drive-up ATM, keep your engine running and your doors locked.
- Keep your transaction receipt. Do not throw it away at the ATM site.
- If you are involved in a confrontation with an assailant who demands money, COMPLY. Do not resist. Notify police.

Bead Capture on Magnetic Sensors in a Microfluidic System
Publication: Research - peer-review › Journal article – Annual report year: 2009
The accumulation of magnetic beads by gravitational
sedimentation and magnetic capture on a planar Hall-effect sensor integrated in a microfluidic channel is studied systematically as a function of the bead concentration, the fluid flow rate, and the sensor bias current. It is demonstrated that the sedimentation flux is proportional to the bead concentration and has a power law relation to the fluid flow rate. The mechanisms for the bead accumulation are investigated and it is found that gravitational sedimentation dominates the bead accumulation, whereas the stability of the sedimented beads against the fluid flow is defined by the localized magnetic fields from the sensor.

We're right on the cusp of a glorious Phase 2 for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with their ambitious two-year plan that kicks off with Iron Man 3
and continues with Thor: The Dark World , Captain America: The Winter Soldier , Guardians of the Galaxy (YES!) and closes with the already drool-inducing-possibilities-filled The Avengers: Age Of Ultron . Two Marvel movies a year for the next two years; that's like Christmas twice a year (well, plus actual Christmas)!But what happens after that? A crushing comedown? Nights lying awake staring at the ceiling in a cold sweat, squirming with withdrawals? Hell, no. We have Phase 3.
So far the kickoff for Phase 3 is the planned Ant-Man
movie, which although it's labeled as "planned" already has a release date for November 6, 2015. There's also the pretty much foregone conclusion of The Avengers 3 , and the strong possibility of , a Hulk Sequel (aka Planet Hulk) and so much more that I can only, in my excitement, assume there must be a Phase 4 in the works.Here are some ideas I've been throwing around with my fellow writer Will and, our Editor-in-Chief Dustin, trying to take the awesome possibilities and put them in some kind of realistic running-order. Remember folks, this is fangirl/fanboy speculation and damn, is it ever fun.
The End of Phase 2
To start us off, let's just set the tone with what we might see at the end of Phase 2. Since we all know that so far, every phase has ended with an Avengers and the credits scenes in MCU movies are critically important (and also awesome), let's jump right to the end of Phase 2 with The Avengers 2. Whether it's the actual plot or just an Easter Egg in the credits, there is no doubt that what plays out here is the set-up for the beginning of Phase 3.
Cue memories of The Avengers post-credits scene. Thanos is still around, and is rumored to show up in Guardians of the Galaxy, so he will definitely play a part. Perhaps the Thanos-Loki connection might be retconned into a hybrid plot device that involves the Cosmic Cube, which has been all over Phase 1 and 2? Or maybe the Infinity Gauntlet that's been hanging around Odin's weapons room, that we got a glimpse of in Thor, and might play a bigger role in Thor 2? In the comics Sub-Mariner and Doctor Strange are together in the Defenders, and at one point they go up against the Avengers to get the Evil Eye of Avalon. Sprinkle on some more retcon magic, and you have Thanos and Loki getting some form of the Defenders together to get back the Cosmic Cube or the Infinity Gauntlet, and bringing Sub-Mariner and Doc into the fold.
We also know that Ant-Man is due to show up somewhere. Perhaps the credits scene of Avengers 2 is the place? Despite the ongoing talk about Hank Pym, I somehow keep envisioning Scott Lang finding the Ant-Man suit in S.H.I.E.L.D headquarters and taking it.
Phase 3
Ok, so that brings us to Phase 3. Imagine if you will, Ant-Man, Sub-Mariner, and Doctor Strange are on our radar. There will most likely be the requisite Captain America 3 and Thor 3, too, since those would give some great setup to anything to to with the Infinity Gauntlet, what I think will be the prize of choice come Phase 3.
Ant-Man marks the start of Phase 3. The script here is kind of a wild card. He's not a major tentpole character, so they can't really rely on existing MCU popularity to drive him. Since Iron Man has shown up 3 times in Phase 2 already, and Ant-Man and Iron Man could potentially have links via Iron Man 3's credits scene (hey, it could still happen, we'll see soon enough) and possibly (and this is conjecture here) Guardians of the Galaxy, it might be that Shellhead might sit Phase 3 out as a stand-alone, and Ant-Man would sub in.
We could still get our Iron Man fix in the beginning of Planet Hulk. Imagine Hulk being punished for being a loose cannon. Iron man, as a member of the Illuminati (along with Sub-Mariner and Doctor Strange), decides to send Hulk into space and thus, we get our Hulk stand-alone. The Illuminati could also be further explored in Doctor Strange and Sub-Mariner movies, too. This would be perfect as a lead in to Avengers 3
Remember my theories about Avengers 2 leading to Civil War? Here's where we'd get that hero-versus-hero struggle, Captain America against Iron Man. Read up a bit to see what the seeds of the war would be. When the Illuminati reunite to ostensibly support Iron Man in the Superhero Registration Act, they are a supergroup divided, and split up during the Civil War. Enter Black Panther
, who sides with Captain America in the conflict, and the start of the superwar to end all superwars. Falcon could show up here again too.End Phase 3.
Phase 4
Black Panther has a huge amount of fan support for getting his own movie, he gets nods all over the place with mentions of Wakanda sprinkled throughout Phase 1 (see Iron Man 2). If the Civil War story-arc would start off in Phase 3, this would be the perfect segue for him to have his own feature in Phase 4, based around the events of the Civil War. He even goes on a peace tour with Sub-Mariner.
This might also be where we have an Iron Man 4 a Guardians of the Galaxy 2 or a Sub-Mariner or Doctor Strange feature come in if they don't make it into Phase 3.
Oh, and don't forget the chance to have World War Hulk. I can't even begin to wrap my head around that one, but it would be so good.
I'd also like to give a shout-out to the Runaways
, who have had whispers of their own movie out in the ether. They have a part in the escalation of the Civil war, and if that arc is broken up over multiple films, this would be a great way for them to have their own movie without it feeling contrived.Of course the possibilities are endless, and I've thrown in loads of guesswork and fantasizing in here. That's how story-lines come about in the first place. Did I miss something or do you have your own theories? Let me know in the comments!

SAN FRANCISCO – In his 21 previous starts at the U.S. Open, Phil Mickelson has come close to several times.
This week was obviously not one of them.
Mickelson, a five-time runner-up at this major, finished off his forgettable four days at The Olympic Club with an 8-over 78 that gives him a 16-over total. The 78 is his worst score at the U.S. Open since he shot 79 in the final round of the 1994 U.S. Open.
"if you played anything less than perfect golf it was extremely penalizing," Mickelson said, "and I played far from perfect."
Mickelson failed to produce a single birdie on Sunday, as he three-putt three greens; in fact, he made just five birdies all week compared to 21 bogeys. But Mickelson was quick to praise the condition of the greens.
"It was a challenging test," Mickelson said. "I thought the great thing was how great the greens were. They were in fabulous shape. They putted very true.
"And I know that there were some question marks when they were being redone, but they really turned out fabulous and putted extremely well for all the players throughout the week."

The good people over at Variety have decided to break down the renewal chances for AMC's The Killing. Hey, better them than us. I actually enjoyed season 2 much better than the first, not because we got answers but because they made the characters more interesting and the pacing was vastly improved. But in television Read more ->
Will AMC's The Killing Be Renewed For a Third Season?
Posted by in Scoops | Television - (0 Comments)I don't think I'm overreaching when I say AMC's THE KILLING is one of the most hated shows in the history of television. I mean, they suck people into a boring murder mystery with the slogan "Who Killed Rosie Larson" and then [SPOILER ALERT] don't ever get around to telling you who killed Rosie Larson. Read more ->

Sunday night dinner...
I need a great dinner on Sunday night of a 5 day eating, drinking, footballing trip in January. Probably for 2ppl, but maybe for 4 or even 6 if possible. We'll be doing Clancy's Thursday night, Galatoire's Friday lunch, Commanders {with a big group} on Saturday night and Patois for Sunday Brunch.
We ended up tagging along with some friends to August, so we shall see how it is this time around. We went a couple of years ago and it was great, but I've read some things lately that lead me to believe it's fallen off. Oh well, the good company will make up for little mistakes...hoping for nothing big!
I recommend Domenica.
They've been firing on all cylinders the last few times I've gone. My favorites from the menu are the wild mushroom pizza and the rabbit tagliatelle.
Tommy's Cuisine or Emeril's would be good choices for Sunday dinner in the CBD. If you like good sports bars walk across Canal on N Peters and go W on S Peters 4/5 blocks to the corner of Lafayette and S Peters to Ernst Cafe which is over 100 years old for good happy hour. They have outdoor tables. When you leave Ernst's go W a block to Girod and go N 2 blocks to Lucy's Bar on Tchoupitoulas for a good 4 to 7 happy hour and $2.50 beer. Grand Isle is a fine seafood restaurant and raw bar a block S of Ernst's on Fulton.
Lucy's Bar @ 701 Tchoupitoulas St., New Orleans, LA 504 - 523 - 8995.
Ernst Cafe @ 600 South Peters Street, New Orleans, LA 504 - 525 - 8544.
Grand Isle @ 575 Convention Center Blvd., New Orleans, LA 504 - 520 - 8530.
Poppy's is located on Spanish Plaza across from Harrah's Casino
Poppy's Time Out Sports Bar @ 500 Port of New Orleans Place, fSuite 80, New Orleans, LA 504 – 569 – 3380.
7:00 am - 10:00 pm
7 days a week.
Go early for breakfast and get the day started. Enjoy your trip.
re: Littleman
Manning's Restaurant/Sports Bar may be open by then. Being a Harrah's creation it remains to be seen if it is a hit or miss. Gordon Biersch is middle of the pack normal but we do like Grand Isle for lunch.
Since you're on a football holiday something from three quarterbacks might be worth a look.
Galatoire's is open Sunday night. Go to Bayona or Mr. B's for Friday lunch. Muriel's would be my choice for Sunday if you don't swap Galatoire's. Have drinks on their balcony overlooking Jackson Square. Here's a link to restaurants open on Sunday. Stop by Walk On's which is a new sports bar on Poydras a few blocks from the SD.

Mexican authorities have announced a string of arrests of high-profile Zetas figures in recent months, and have said they believe a rift had emerged between Ivan Velazquez Caballero, a Zetas leader known as "El Taliban" nabbed by authorities last month, and Trevino, a Zetas capo known as "Z40" who has a reputation for being even more brutal. It was not clear which side Lazcano was on.
On Monday, the Mexican navy said it had arrested a regional leader for the Zetas, Salvador Alfonso Martinez, or "Squirrel," and believed he was involved in many of the Zetas' worst crimes. The high-profile arrests yield intelligence for other arrests, experts say.
Marines also recently caught the heads of the two main factions of the Gulf Cartel: Jorge Eduardo "El Coss" Costilla Sanchez and Mario Cardenas Guillen.

text: It was time to change the plugs, although, it is kind of surprising how good the plugs looked after almost seven years. Gap the plugs before you start. We set the gap for .041 inches. Remove the three screws in the top cover, and blow out any dust in the hole with some compressed air. After loosening the spark plug, reach in with a grabber or a piece of rubber hose to pull the plug out: Here is the grabber we used: Put some anti-sieze compound on the plug before you put it back in. Here are the two plugs side-by-side: There is a noticable difference in the gap and condition of the old and new plugs: Don't over-tighten.

Food & Farm News

Rain damages crops
Inspectors are still assessing farm damage from heavy rain, which hit Southern California this past week. Ventura County appears to have the most, estimated by the agriculture commissioner at $25 million. That figures are expected to increase as roads are cleared so inspectors can check growing regions that have been isolated by roads that have been blocked by mud and water. Celery and strawberries are hard hit, but erosion along wild running creeks and rivers has damaged orchards and nurseries as well.
Rice farmers aid tsunami victims
California rice farmers are donating 250,000 pounds of rice for Tsunami relief in South Asia. A truckload was sent to Los Angeles yesterday (Tuesday) from the Farmers Rice Cooperative mill in West Sacramento to be air freighted to the devastated area. In addition, the cooperative is sending four more 20 foot containers through the Port of Oakland to Sri Lanka as part of the humanitarian effort later this week.
Growers salvage strawberries
Ventura County strawberry growers have their work crews picking berries for processing plants. The rain has made the crop unmarketable for fresh market buyers. However, the farmers need to remove the ripe fruit to prevent disease. Picking also causes the plant to produce more fruit. Farmers are also applying materials to prevent fungal disease. Forecasts are for at least a week of dry weather, which should allow harvest to resume soon.
Farm programs work
Federal farm programs are achieving their goals and should be allowed to run their course, according to the leader of the nation's largest farm group. American Farm Bureau President Bob Stallman says Congress should refrain from changing farm programs before they expire in two years. Stallman told the Farm Bureau's annual meeting that the farm programs help the work of U.S. negotiators, who want other nations to remove unfair subsidies and trade barriers.

Iconic author Ray Bradbury died Tuesday night in Los Angeles at the age of 91. His death was announced by his daughter, Alexandra, who gave no other details.
Bradbury's breakthrough came in 1950 with The Martian Chronicles, a collection of science fiction stories. The Martian Chronicles has since been published in over 30 languages, and was made into a television series.
His next book, the futuristic classic Fahrenheit 451, was released in 1953. The working title was The Fireman, a story reportedly written at UCLA's Powell Library on typewriters that rented for 10 cents a half hour. He said he carried a sack full of dimes to the library and completed the book in nine days, at a final cost of $9.80. The title was changed to Fahrenheit 451, so named in reference to the temperature at which paper ignites.
Bradbury has been generally classified as a science fiction and fantasy writer, yet he resisted the science fiction reference. He maintained that his only true science fiction novel was Fahrenheit 451, which he said was based on reality because it could happen. He described the others as fantasy because it couldn't happen.
Many of his works have been adapted into television shows or movies.
Bradbury's writings have been cited as the inspiration of many computer game developers, including Ubisoft Entertainment's Assassin's Creed series and Gears of War, developed by People Can Fly.
Bradbury was reportedly a close friend of Charles Addams. Addams illustrated the first of Bradbury's stories about the Elliotts, a family that would resemble Addams' later creation, The Addams Family.
In his honor, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America created The Ray Bradbury Award for screenwriting.
Bradbury is survived by four daughters. His wife of 56 years, Marguerite, died in 2003.

At the Parliament, there was one session on the orixa(orisha) religions in Latin America (Umbanda, Candomblé and Lukumi). This was headed by Rose Sackey-Milligan(lukumi) and Stanley Krippner(umbanda)
Orixa comes from ori - meaning head, sha (xa) means owner. In Portuguese I'd say dono da cabeça.
In Umbanda or Candomblé, we'd find out one orixa who'd be our main guide and we'd also have another one influencing us, so I could be for example:
ContinueThank you very much for your comment, Dominic! How interesting that you met Iya Rose! I'll have to mention that we're in touch. All the best to you!

Dunking and singing and trying to jazz up a night
Well, that was entirely underwhelming, wasn't it?
Maybe Saturday night's better – and I can't see how it can't be – because a rookie-sophomore game and dunk-in is not the way to really create some buzz.
But it does create stuff like this:
You know that I'm not a real conspiracy theorist but at least this year when we're sitting through the dunk contest there won't be an over-riding sense that it's, um, fixed like last year's was.
Rudy Fernandez still got jobbed by judges a year ago who pined for – or were pointed in the direction of – a Nate Robinson-Dwight Howard final and there is no real foil for Wee Nate this year.
Which means it might be fun and it could sure use some jazzing up.
Can DeMar win?
I have no idea but he sure sounds like he wants to have some fun. Every time the thing comes up he talks about how he's never lost a dunk contest, how he's got some creativity in him and how he wants to entertain the crowd.
Was sort of hoping to see some of it Friday but after he made his first one and Eric Gordon pulled off a Chris Andersen imitation on his first, the thing was pretty much over.
DeMar went all boring and simple with his second, Gordon missed again and the yawns began.
Funny thing was, I was more impressed with Gordon's attempts. They had some juice to them and at a bit higher degree of difficulty but DeMar put it pretty well after:
"You can't miss. You just can't."
I have no idea what the kid's got in mind for Saturday – he'll enlist the aid of Sonny Weems on something he told me after Friday's dunks – but hopefully it's a step up from his debut.
I don't know if it's the Olympics or the snow or the economy or the malaise that's sweeping our industry but it seems the numbers of chroniclers in Dallas this weekend is way down.
Take Friday's media session with the all-stars.
It's usually packed and you can't get near a player you want to talk to for any length of time or for many real questions. But this time around, if to you waited with even a modicum of patience you could get what you want; I had time to chat with Chris Bosh, talked to Chauncey Billups for a while and had DeMar entirely alone at one stretch.
The thing that was most impressive? Not many people were there doing silly stuff like the year one of the representatives of the international media carried around a tiny horn he wanted to get everyone to play. Seriously.
We had one group delivering tiny Chinese New Year's packages and asking the players to say Happy New Year in, I believe, Cantonese, but that was about it.
Was kind of refreshing, actually.
Look, I don't know Kreesha Turner from Tina Turner and I hope young Kreesha goes on to have a long and illustrious hit-filled career as a crooner.
But, for the love all that is Canada, couldn't someone have perhaps checked that she'd get the words to O Canada right before trotting her out at NBA all-star weekend.
It's "in all thy sons command" and not "in all our sons command" and that's a mistake that's made about once in every five games I go to.
Oh, and it's "the true north, strong and free" and not "our north strong and free."
Sixteen months until the deadline and already I'm bored by NBA labour stuff.
Yes, it's pretty serious; yes, there was legitimate news Friday when the two sides chatted.
Folks, it is right now posturing and simple negotiations. You throw out wild proposals knowing they'll cause angst and you work toward some middie ground.
Friday, we had union boss Billy Hunter and Derek Fisher slamming the league's first offer of a huge cutbacks in every imaginable economic facet from the value, length and guarantee of contracts to the share of income.
Saturday it'll be David Stern's turn to get on the podium for his annual state-of-the-league address and I'm pretty sure it'll be all labour, all the time.
Nash, Gretzky, Le May Doan, Greene?
Yeah, I'm okay with that.
Shame about the cauldron malfunction, though.
I'm looking at my notes from Friday night and first page, first thing scribbled it says:
"No one's here."
Yeah, it was a rather underwhelming crowd – exuberant and kid-filled but underwhelming nonetheless – that greeted the start of the Rookie-Sophomore Silliness.
Place filled up pretty well through the night, although certainly not to capacity, and that's part of the problem with this weekend: It's one night too long.
Used to be just Saturday and Sunday and that seemed to be just fine with all concerned; crowds were big, the party atmosphere was just as good and we weren't subjected to a night built entirely around a 40-minute game between kids who have no real desire to play.
If they insist on keeping Friday an integral part of this thing – and that genie's not going back into the bottle – they need to jazz it up somehow.
I'm thinking something with a charity or fund-raising component and kids; maybe doing something with a local charity as part of the Day Of Service; something like the U.S. Open tennis does on its opening night.
No idea how that all comes together but something needs to change on the Friday night.
So I'm thinking, because I love ya so much (and because deadlines are such that we won't get an awful lot of post-shenanigans stuff in Sunday's paper) that we'll do the regular mailbag Sunday morning and also provide this usual glut of information and entertainment.
Lucky, lucky readers.

Can Your Child Recognize a Rip Tide?
The summer I turned 12 I visited my cousins in California. Boogie-boarding in the surf at Santa Monica I had a real scare. A rogue wave flattened me and started dragging me out to sea. 36 years later I can vividly remember the sensation of being in a washing machine, being churned around with the sand scraping against my back and stomach as I was dragged out to sea. The combination of panic and being under water for so long robbed me of the last of my oxygen as I desperately fought to get a foot hold on solid ground. Finally my feet connected with the ocean floor and I stood up – knee deep in water.
I felt foolish, never told my cousins or my aunt. I mean, it's hard enough being 12, but almost drowning in under 2 feet of water? But I didn't know. I didn't understand how to read the ocean and I didn't know what to do if the water behaved differently than in my local pool and Lake Michigan is a different story from the Pacific Ocean, although just as dangerous if you don't know what to look for.
When I look at the primary misleading signals that water can give, rip tides or rip currents is probably one of the scariest and least understood, but understanding them prepares you for other events, such as the occasional rogue wave.
I'll defer to the experts for all the information on rip tides, but the most important thing that you need to know, and what you need to teach your children, is how to recognize a rip tide, and how to escape if you do get caught.
First, a rip tide is a strip of deceptively calm water. On either side you'll see choppy waves, but the rip tide is enticingly, beckoningly smooth. That's the water heading out at a rate faster than an Olympic swimmer can paddle. So, first step, survey the water, and if you see a flat patch, avoid it.
Second, if you do get caught, don't try to fight the water, you'll never win. Swim slowly and steadily sideways, parallel with the shore. You will either be able to eventually leave the rip tide or it will spit you out at the end of the rip tide and you just need to swim back to shore.
Ideally you have also chosen to swim near a lifeguard and have checked out any signs warning of rip tides or dangerous surf, but since water doesn't always abide by the rules, it's best to understand how water acts.
Of course the most important message is 'don't panic', but it's a lot easier to keep yourself, or your child from panicking if they understand what is happening to them, and go with the water instead of fighting it. I think Dora said it best in Finding Nemo, 'Just keep swimming….just keep swimming'.
How to Be a Better Dad
The bond between mother and child gets a lot of attention, but what about the ties between fathers and their children? Research out of Pennsylvania State University and the University of California has shown that father-child interactions are central to everything from a child's ability to regulate emotionally to the capacity to maintain strong, fulfilling social relationships later in life. Here, simple ways for dads to get closer to their sons and daughters.
Show Your Love
Mothers and fathers provide different kinds of physical stimulation and comfort, and those differences help kids stretch their capacities both emotionally and physically. But physical connection isn't just about wrestling on the floor or playing catch; it's about showing your child how much you care. Hugs and kisses for younger kids, arm around the shoulder or pat on the back for older ones — physical contact make kids feel loved. "Saying I love you is not enough," says child psychologist Steven Richfield, author of The Parent Coach: A New Approach to Parenting in Today's Society. "Demonstrating that in heartfelt ways — with tangible physical displays of affection — is very important."
Develop Rituals
Engaging in a ritualized activity with your child day after day, month after month, lets your child feel loved and special. Ethan Barker of Farmington, Mich., plays a pretend game he calls "Let's Go" with his daughter most nights before he puts her to bed. "She became interested in the globe in her room, and so we made up a game where we spin it and pretend we are going to go wherever our finger points when the globe stops spinning," he says. "We have a make-believe suitcase, and talk about what we'd like to bring and what we might do when we get there. She really gets excited about it each night, and so do I."
Find Your Inner Child
"Fathers can have closer relationships with their kids if they're willing to regress in the service of the relationship," says Dr. Richfield. "They need to have a real capacity to enter the child's world." With younger kids that may mean playing make-believe or singing silly songs; with older ones it might be playing video games or watching music videos. It's not enough to stand back and watch; you need to get involved in whatever's capturing your child's attention and imagination.
Hit the Books
While mothers purchase upwards of 90 percent of the parenting literature, fathers could benefit from some book learning as well. "You have to do a little reading. I think fathers are in the dark, especially during the first six or so years," says Dr. Richfield. "You have to become educated to develop a bond with your child. Learning what boys and girls need at any given age — and these needs are pretty much the same for both sexes when they're young — helps fathers become closer to their kids. To be able to give them what they desire, you really have to know about their world."
National Screen-Free Week: Turn Off to Tune In
This week, April 30 – May 6, 2012, is National Screen-Free Week. This annual event is a program of the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood (CCFC) and is designed to encourage parents, children, teachers, schools and communities across the country to turn off all forms of screen-based media, including television, video games, computers, cell phones, etc., and instead spend time with family and friends and participating in other activities, such as reading, daydreaming, exploring nature, playing outside, and more.
Formerly known as TV-Turnoff Week, the CCFC has expanded it to include all screen-based media. It is the organization's goal that Screen-Free Week will be a "springboard for important lifestyle changes that will improve well-being and quality of life all year round."
The ever-increasing availability of technology and electronic devices has dramatically increased the amount of time kids (and adults) spend in front of a screen and has drastically reduced the time spent on non-media based activities. The CCFC estimates the amount of time preschoolers spend in front of a screen is 32 hours a week, and even more time is spent by older children and teens. The amount of time spent with screen-based media has reduced time spent outdoors, time spent with family and friends, time spent engaged in sports and other forms of fitness and has contributed to the childhood obesity problem. Too much screen time can also lead to poor school performance, sleep problems, and behavioral issues in some children and teens.
I've lost count of how many parents have talked with me about how their children's behavior changes after playing video games or watching television, especially if those games or shows involved any violence or aggressiveness at all. I've seen firsthand how video games affected one of my nephews and would turn him from a sweet, caring boy to an aggressive, defiant child. After the problem continued to worsen, my sister made the drastic decision to no longer allow any video games. At first my nephew whined and begged to play, but as time went on he found other ways to occupy his time and entertain himself and his behavior at home and even at school greatly improved. At the age of 10, even he realizes the negative effect video games can have on him if he spends too much time with them. Of course, every child is different and not all are adversely affected by media and technology, but even if they are not, over-use and over-stimulation can still be a problem.
Screen-based media can also interfere with with kids' ability for creative, imaginative play. Turning off the screens for a week can help them tune into their imaginations, especially if you encourage them to play with toys that promote creativity. Introduce your kids to some of your favorite childhood pastimes and participate with them. Instead of screen-based electronic games, play board games or go outside and play hide and seek, freeze tag, or a fun sport. Go for a bike ride or a walk around your local park. There are so many ways to spend time together and have fun without any technology at all, your family may even decide to turn off the screens more often!
Certainly technology has improved our ability to do many things, including educate our children, but we need to be aware of the harm that over-use can cause and use screen-time wisely. Taking a break from the abundance of screens in our world can be a healthy way to detox and reconnect with our family and friends face to face.
This week, consider participating in Screen-Free Week, turn off the screens and tune in to everything else around us.

How to Talk to Your Kids About…Diversity
Children are very quick to point out differences. With their limited experiences and understanding, it is hard to explain that differences are a wonderful part of life. Talking to our children about diversity can be tricky. We don't want to compromise our family values, but we want to cultivate a true respect for everyone.
There are a few key conversations we can have, that will help.
- Have a "diversity" conversation. Talk about differences that exist in your family. "Jill's favorite color is pink, yours is blue. Your favorite food is spaghetti, mommy loves chicken" Explain that we are all different, and that is a good thing, not bad. When you encounter new people, explain that there are differences and similarities between all of us just like having different favorite colors. This simple conversation will help our children begin to understand diversity and see that liking different colors and foods is not bad, just different.
- Challenge your children to get to know someone new on a regular basis and find out what they have in common. If they conclude that they have nothing in common, teach them that they still deserve to be treated with respect and kindness. Tie this back into your "diversity" conversations. "Remember, Jill likes a different color than you do, we don't treat her mean because she likes something different." Talk about how treating others with respect means that we take some time to get to know them and understand them. Our children need to understand that they might not like all the other kids, but they need to give them all a chance. In our house we encourage our children to meet someone new at school each week. Then our children talk to us about all the things they learned about the new person during dinner each Friday night.
- Talk about the fact that diversity does not mean we forgo our values. Begin when children are young, and explain that there are choices that other people make that are not acceptable in our home. That is fine, but that doesn't mean that we are rude or judgmental because they choose differently. To raise children who accept diversity talk to them about different cultures and traditions. You can start with something as simple as having them try different foods.
We will find that by talking to our kids about diversity, they will also learn key values like love, respect, kindness, and compassion for others.
Pin ItDoes Your Lactose Intolerant Child Get Enough Calcium?
If your child gets a stomachache after eating dairy, it could be a sign she is lactose intolerant. This means she has trouble digesting lactose, a sugar found in milk. But you can still make sure she gets enough calcium for her growing bones. Serve cheese, which doesn't contain lactose, or lactose-free milk, which you can find in the dairy section at the supermarket. Or simply give her a Lactaid supplement before she eats dairy products. Available at drugstores, the supplement breaks down lactose so it can be easily digested. There are also plenty of good nondairy calcium sources, such as fortified orange juice, cereals and soy beverages, as well as spinach and other dark leafy greens. All kids (and adults) should eat three to four servings of calcium-rich foods each day. Don't resort to supplements unless you absolutely have to; your body absorbs the mineral better from food. Finally, make sure your child gets a good dose of physical activity each day. Exercise increases the amount of calcium the bones take in.

Are you taking the Japanese Language Proficiency Test for the first time this year? If you are, the chances of you passing are not good especially if you are taking the test outside of Japan. Across all 5 levels only 36.6 % passed the July 2011 test. Only 36.6%! One of the biggest reasons why so many students fail the JLPT is because of the lack of quality study materials. Most students can only get there hands on grammar reference books, practice test books and kanji lists,. However, there is one product that can help you pass the JLPT – Japanese Proficiency Power.
If you are looking for JLPT study materials and are wanting to know if Japanese Proficiency Power will help you pass, then read this review to get all the facts on this multimedia study program.

What Are Your Chances of Passing the JLPT?
Here is a screen shot of the breakdown of the percentage of students who passed the JLPT level by level. Note that failure percentage is much higher for students who took the test outside of Japan.
Why Students Fail the JLPT
The reason why less than 50% pass all levels of the JLPT is because of two min reasons:
- Students don't get enough test practice under real test conditions
- Students have no real strategies to answer questions they have trouble with. They don't know how to analyse questions and choose the best multiple choice option by a process of elimination.
What is Japanese Proficiency Power?
Japanese Proficiency Power is a multimedia JLPT practice program for level 4 and 5. The program gives you three practice tests to take that are very similar to the JLPT test format.The real part of the program are the 40 screen caputre videos that go through all three practice tests teaching you how best to answer each question.
The teachers of the program are a husband and wife team. You get the perspective of someone who has taken the test and a native Japanese to explain the intracies of Japanese grammar and cultural.

A Trial Balance Report
I am a qualified bookkeeper and have primarily always used Sage Line 50 which I love.
Now in an attempt to expand my horizons, I have downloaded the trial version of VT Transaction+. In my own time, I wish to input my current Sage data into VT and so get a feel for how it all works. But I am really having trouble with the Trial Balance report, after inputting all my opening balances.
For this exercise I would prefer to have a traditional Trial Balance with totals at the bottom and Dr and Cr columns, but instead I have a running balance and Ledger balance columns. How do I obtain a traditional TB so that I can compare like for like?
I know it will take some time to understand it properly, and get used to how it works, but I have examined the help file and experimented with various reports and I feel stuck.
Can anyone put me out of my misery?
Trial balance report in VT
I will follow this thread with interest as I too have VT (and sage) I am still finding my way around. When I run a Trial Balance - Display > Trial Balance the resulting report has an options button at the bottom left. There are various options you can set, one of them, on the General Tab is to set Dr & Cr columns. Hope this helps
Trial balance report in VT
As previous post in bottom of left hand corner of Trial Balance click "Options" then tick box for "Display seperate debit and credit columns"
You may find the TB shows all individual Customers and Suppliers individual balances. If you only want to show totals for these ledgers then in the second column of the TB click the "- " and it will change to "+" and it will only show the totals (you can always go back just by clicking the "+" )
I presume you have figured out how to display periods. On bottom of Home Screen it will show Year to ....... you will find that as you progress it will show all year ends that have been done and it allows you to change which year you are working on. The next box lets you change the Current period (this lets you choose either individual months, quarters, entire year or other.
Hope this helps
And customer/supplier reports?
Thank you. That is very helpful and I'm already feeling more comfortable with it.
Now for customer / supplier reports. I haven't added many of either, but I wish to produce a list of them including their addresses. I have managed to create and print a simple list of customers but I cannot see how to display address details or to select all in a list with say contact names and phone numbers.
Thanks again. I appreciate the help.
And customer/supplier reports?
Not sure this report is available in VTT+ but someone out there may know different.
What can be done when say setting up a new Customer is copy and paste the information you require i.e address/contact into the "Notes" tab.
When you go to Display/Ledger Balances/Customers the information will appear on right hand side under Notes. Tabs at bottom of page will give you various options - Period End - Open entries - Options (You can tick box to show all accounts whether they have balances or not)
Remember any such pages can easily be converted to a spreadsheet view by right clicking mouse button and then copied into Excel.
Perhaps not what you want but as I said someone may know different.
not sure...
Thanks for the reply. I understand what you're saying but I'm not so keen on the copy/paste option. May be a bit counter-productive. Hopefully someone else can advise their experience. I certainly cannot find it in the manual or anywhere else on line on how to print a report selecting ALL customers showing customer name, contact and phone (or any other data fields). The data is clearly in the system so perhaps there is some sort of enhanced report writer option?.

Penn State vs. Houston: Live Score, Analysis and Highlights for TicketCity Bowl
Bob Levey/Getty Images
Houston 30, Penn State 14, Final
Rob Bolden will look to lead the Penn State Nittany Lions to a win Monday afternoon and get 2012 started on the right foot for a football program that has been through a roller coaster like no other in 2011.
Bolden will be Penn State's starting quarterback for the TicketCity Bowl against the Houston Cougars today in Dallas, as the Nittany Lions return to the old Cotton Bowl stadium. Matt McGloin has been ruled out for the game after continuing to fail concussion tests following an altercation with teammate and wide receiver Curtis Drake a couple weeks ago after practice.
McGloin had become the full-time quarterback since Tom Bradley was named the interim head coach, although the team also utilized the wildcat offense as well, using Drake as the key wildcat quarterback. Drake, a Philadelphia native, did not make the trip to the bowl game and Bradley has not commented on how much they will actually use the wildcat offense.
Penn State's offense could have a tough day ahead of them, because they will have to keep up pace against the nation's top offense. Houston is a very pass-happy team, with sixth-year senior Case Keenum looking to finish his storied college career on a high note.
After losing the Conference USA championship game at home, Keenum and the Cougars dropped out of the high-profile bowl scenarios, similar to the way Penn State dropped (although for much different reasons). This makes for a quality matchup in the TicketCity Bowl, and it should be one of the better matchups when you look at Houston's offense and Penn State's defense.
Stick with us all afternoon as Penn State and Houston go head-to-head in the TicketCity Bowl, the first bowl game to be played today. We will be providing live updates, analysis and thoughts throughout the game, as well as keep you updated on some of the other action going on around the country.
Kevin McGuire is a featured columnist for Bleacher Report. Follow him on Twitter, like him on Facebook and add him to your Google+ circle.
It's a done deal. Penn State drops to Houston, 30-14 in the Ticket City Bowl. Stay tuned for more updates and analysis when they become available on Bleacher Report.
Thanks for following along today, and feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section below!
Case Keenum is now the ninth player to pass for 500 yards in a college football bowl game.
Rob Bolden goes deep for Derek Moye but the throw is under thrown and intercepted. Houston can pretty much slam the door shut on this by running some clock, but that's not how the Cougars roll. Look for more Keenum passes coming up.
On a previous play, Silas Redd limped off the field and the medical staff started to examine him on a bench. Possible knee injury, but does not appear to be an significant ACL injury at first glance. He walked off the field on his own power.
At the end of the third quarter, Houston has quickly moved in to scoring position, and will have a third and goal after the break, leading 27-14.
Rob Bolden, one play after having the ball knocked out as he went to pass and taking a good licking from a pair of Houston defenders, throws a strike to Justin Brown on a post-route and Brown hauls it in and runs the distance, stretching for a touchdown.
The Big Ten is on the losing end everywhere you look right now.
Houston just went up 27-7 on Penn Satte, Georgia is shutting out Michigan State 16-0, Florida is ahead of Ohio State 14-7 and Nebraska trails South Carolina 16-13 after a hail mary touchdown from Connor Shaw to Alshon Jeffrey.
The third quarter is slipping away form Penn State, and Houston tacks on another field goal to build a 20-point lead, 27-7.
Devon Still is not at 100% and was seen limping around pretty noticeable on the sidelines and going in and heading out of the tunnel for halftime. If he is not at full strength, Penn State will need someone else to step it up and bring some kind of pressure on Case Keenum, which is easier said than done of course.
Right out of the gate, some wildcat offense with Bill Belton taking the snap under center and running for a first down.
Penn State will begin the second half with the football, and will need to dig deep for a big rally against Houston, who does not figure to be done scoring today.
The last time Penn State lost bowl games in consecutive seasons was 1975 and 1976 ('75 Sugar, '76 Gator).
Flipped over to the Gator Bowl to catch Ohio State tie the Florida Gators, only to see Florida return the ensuing kickoff 99-yards for a touchdown to retake the lead with SEC speed. That is a new Gator Bowl record.
After Penn State failed to take advantage of a late half possession and punted, Case Keenum connected on a 75-yard pass to a wide open Patrick Edwards down the middle of the field for a touchdown. Nobody seemed to be covering Edwards on the play, and Houston builds a 24-7 lead with 1:43 to play in the first half.
Gerald Hodges breaks up a Case Keenum fourth and one pass to force a turnover on downs. Penn State offense looking to get another score before the half.
Houston with a 4th and one coming up after the break. The Cougars have been moving right down field on Penn State after the Nittany Lions got on the scoreboard and are probably thinking field goal here, but I would not be shocked if they try to pick up a yard here to extend the drive with the first half nearing a close.
And here is a link to the Capital One Bowl live blog, covering Nebraska vs. South Carolina.
We have some other live blogs going on right now, for the Outback Bowl and Capital One Bowl. Here is a link to the Outback Bowl, between Michigan State and Georgia...
A direct snap to Stephfon Green, who made his presence known on this offensive possession, gets Penn State on the scoreboard. Rob Bolden made a beautiful pas to Devon Smith for a huge gain, which more than doubled Penn State's offensive production, and later faked a high snap as Green plunged in for the touchdown.
Penn State getting some momentum, giving the defense a rest. Now can the defense do it again?
Justin Brown had a long punt return for a touchdown, but it was called back after a video review showed he stepped out of bounds. still, Penn State seems to be gaining some form of momentum. It is up to the offense to capitalize.
Penn State finally picks up a first down as Rob Bolden completes a pass. But they follow with an abysmal trick play with a hand off to Devon Smith. A deep pass to Derek Moye then falls incomplete.
Houston looked for a 20-0 lead but a 37-yard field goal clanked off the goal post to keep the score at 17-0. It was another fine drive by Case Keenum and the Houston offense, but now Penn State absolutely needs to find a way to get things to change up the momentum.
Is this the shift?
Wisconsin's 21 second quarter points against Penn State is a season high for PSU opponents. Houston looking to top it.
Case Keenum, who has yet to hand the football off, has taken a 17-0 lead and is making it look easy. Penn State is getting absolutely no pressure on him from the line, and the secondary is all over the place trying to catch up.
Houston already has six first downs. Penn State still looking for their first.
Drew Astorino with a costly punt recovery, lets the ball go over his head and he falls on it at the Penn State six-yard line.
For the defense, that was the defensive series they needed to try and slow down Houston. Houston has gone from a touchdown, to a field goal, to a punt.
Rob Bolden called for a timeout on 3rd and 11 and then nearly scrambled for a first down but he was just a yard short of the first down. Anthony Fera punted in to the end zone to give Houston their third possession of the quarter. Penn State's defense desperately needs to find a way to stop Houston, because the offense is quickly digging a hole, already down 10-0.
