Snedeker won the 2012 FedExCup and its $10 million bonus when he made the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola his second win of the season. Snedeker, who came to Phoenix ranked seventh in the season-long competition for 2013, has continued that momentum this year with three finishes of third or better in four starts.
Phil Mickelson, who ended up beating Snedeker by four strokes at TPC Scottsdale, jumped from 91st to third in the FedExCup. Mickelson also moved to 10th in the Official World Golf Ranking while Snedeker rose one spot to a career-high sixth.
It's the first time Mickelson has been back in the top 10 since he tied for seventh at the 2012 HP Byron Nelson Championship. Mickelson started his 2013 campaign at the Humana Challenge in partnership with the Clinton Foundation ranked No. 22.
Mickelson has been ranked as high as No. 2 in the world.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Phil Mickelson birdied nine of 16 par 3s this week and that simply lapped every other golfer at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. The field played the short holes in even par, while Mickelson was 9 under. He birdied every one of those holes in the opening round. When you can write down nine deuces on your card, you're having a great week.
Opportunities: Mickelson finished at 28 under because he had more birdie putts than anyone else in the field. Phil led the tournament, hitting 63 of 72 greens in regulation. That's more chances to make birdie than any other player. Mickelson quickly married both speed and line on Thursday while shooting 60 and never lost his touch. He had putting rounds of 24-28-28-30 and was fifth in the field for strokes gained-putting. Phil was 40-for-40 on putts measuring 3 feet or less and was 60-for-65 on putts of 10 feet or less.
Coliseum: The par-3 16th hole was filled with 20,000 fans on Sunday but the crowd was not nearly as loud or rowdy as the previous day. James Hahn riled up the fans when he made a 19-foot birdie putt and then broke into a dance, giving his rendition of "Gangnem Style." Padraig Harrington once again kicked footballs into the stands. Wilson sponsors Harrington and supplies the official football for the Super Bowl. Some lucky fans wound up with very nice souvenirs courtesy of Harrington.
Lucky: Mickelson birdied the seventh hole in three of four rounds, saving his best for last. He made a 56-foot, 7-inch putt that he played through the fringe, over and ridge and slammed into the back of the cup. Mickelson gave good fortune the opportunity to happen by picking a good line and speed but also admitted, "for that putt to go in was just pure luck." Phil was so excited at making the putt, he played out of turn on the eighth tee, accidentally hitting ahead of Brandt Snedeker who also birdied the seventh and had honors. That's a breach of courtesy but not a penalty in stroke play.
Sneds: Snedeker did everything he was supposed to do to win. He led the field in putting with rounds of 26-24-27-23 for a total of 100 strokes on the greens. He was fourth in strokes gained-putting. The only thing Snedeker did wrong was to start the final round six shots back of Mickelson. That is simply too much ground to gain.
Soft: Scoring in this tournament was determined before golfers ever arrived on site. There was heavy rain at TPC Scottsdale last weekend and more rain on Tuesday. There was standing water on some areas of the course during Wednesday's Pro-Am. That led to soft, receptive greens and fairways that held drives. The putting surfaces never firmed and golfers simply punished par. A whopping 24 golfers did not have a three-putt the entire tournament. That's an indication of green speed, firmness and wonderful conditioning.
Final hole: In each of his weekend rounds, Mickelson hit driver off the 18th tee and simply blew it way to the left. He received a free drop from the gallery on Saturday and the rough was not severe when he drove it left of the lake on Sunday. Tournament officials may want to consider changes to the hole, increasing the penalty for playing left of the lake.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Brandt Snedeker must feel like he's beating his head against the wall.
After all, he's finished second at the last two PGA TOUR events, losing to Tiger Woods at the Farmers Insurance Open in a Monday finish and Phil Mickelson at the Waste Management Phoenix Open on Sunday.
"I feel like I'm running into the Hall of Famers every week," Snedeker said with a smile. "It would be nice if they weren't in the field and I could go ahead and go after it. It's just tough, you know. ... It was fun to watch, fun to be part of. You want to win those, and hopefully I will soon."
In each case Snedeker made a spirited bid, most recently closing with consecutive rounds of 65 at TPC Scottsdale but falling four strokes shy of Mickekson, who led wire-to-wire and tied the tournament's 72-hole scoring record. In fact, seven of Snedeker's last eight rounds have been in the 60s for a cumulative total of 34 under.
"I had one bad round last week," Snedeker said. "This week I didn't have a bad round. I played great all four days. Phil just played unbelievable, played like Phil."
Each champ was essentially playing on home turf, too -- Woods winning at Torrey Pines for the eighth time in his career and Mickelson for the third time at TPC Scottdale not far from where he went to college and made his home for 12 years.
Snedeker cut Mickelson's lead in half at the turn when he birdied No. 9 for a 31 to pull within three. But he lost ground when his drive at the par-5 13th landed in a cactus plant and he had to take an unplayable lie. Snedeker pulled within three again with a 5-footer at the signature 16th but when both birdied the driveable 17th hole Mickelson's win was all but assured.
"I had a great putt on 10 I thought was going to go in," Snedeker said. "I thought if I had made that putt, you know, I think I would have gotten within two or three at that time, I thought it's a fair ball game. Because a lot can happen with the next few holes.
"Just couldn't seem to get that putt to get within two or one or whatever it was to make him really think about it. He was playing great, so I knew I needed to make birdies. I just didn't do it early in the back nine."
Snedeker now has three finishes of third or better in his first four starts of 2013. In fact, in his eight PGA TOUR starts dating back to The Barclays, which started his run to the FedExCup title, Snedeker has one win and five finishes of sixth or better.
Asked whether he felt he got the recognition he deserved, though, Snedeker admitted he still needed to fill out his resume.
"You have to win majors and win tournaments to be recognized as an elite player," he said. "And I haven't done nearly enough of that, you know. I'm playing great right now. I'm as high as I have ever been in the world ranking and all that kind of stuff, but you have to win tournaments to validate that. I haven't done it.
"I think when you win majors and win multiple times in years, you validate whatever people say about you."

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Phil Mickelson didn't get the PGA TOUR's all-time scoring record but he did get the victory he wanted at the Waste Management Phoenix Open on Sunday.
Mickelson started the final round leading by six and ended up beating Brandt Snedeker by four to become the first wire-to-wire winner in Phoenix since Steve Jones' 1997 victory -- and just the second here in 43 years. The last player to lead after each of the first three rounds and go on to victory was Rory McIlroy in the 2011 U.S. Open at Congressional.
Mickelson, who closed with a 67 on Sunday, also earned a share of the tournament's 72-hole scoring record but fell two strokes shy of the PGA TOUR mark. Mark Calcavecchia also shot 28 under in his 2001 victory.
The win was the 41st of Mickelson's World Golf Hall of Fame career and his third at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, tying him with Calcavecchia, Gene Littler and Arnold Palmer for the most all-time. He has now won 19 times in California and Arizona -- and will defend the 18th next week at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
Snedeker didn't make it easy on Mickelson, though. He closed to within three strokes for the second time on Sunday when he made a 5-footer for birdie at the 16th hole. He and Mickelson proceeded to match birdies at the driveable 17th but Snedeker bogeyed the 18th.
"It was a ton of fun," Snedeker said. "To be in the last group with Phil and kind of trade birdie for birdie and make up some ground was a lot of fun. It's what we play for. ... I wish I could have put some more pressure on him and got a little closer than I did today, but I think I shot 12 under par on the weekend and made one bogey.
"Sometimes you have to tip your hat and say Phil played unbelievable and deserved to win, and that's kind of what this week was all about."
Snedeker, who closed with a 65, has now finished second the last two weeks -- losing to Tiger Woods at the Farmers Insurance Open and Mickelson in Phoenix. He finished solo third at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, as well.
How well did Mickelson play at TPC Scottsdale this week? He led the field in greens in regulation and was 10th in putting. He made 29 birdies and one eagle while dropping just three shots to par with one bogey and one double bogey over 72 holes.
The low round of the day belonged to Scott Piercy, who sho 61 and finished alone in third at 23 under. Ryan Moore was another stroke behind after his second straight 65.
Phil Mickelson won the Waste Management Phoenix Open on Sunday in Scottsdale, Ariz., becoming the first wire-to-wire winner on the PGA TOUR since Rory McIlroy at the 2011 U.S. Open.
It's Mickelson's 41st PGA TOUR win, which ranks ninth all-time in victories.

INDIANAPOLIS -- For Hyron Edwards Jr., humble is cool, if not necessary. What choice does the point guard have? Sometimes, you see, father does know best.
Hryon Sr.'s message is clear: Don't let the recent outpouring of attention and national ranking rise (ESPN.com has him in the top 15 nationally in the Class of 2015) ruin what has the makings of a very good basketball opportunity.
Humility can teach what ego can distort, and Edwards, who is set to enter his sophomore season at East Chicago Central, has bought into the message. National rankings, media attention and a growing number of high-profile coaches at his July travel ball games aren't relevant.
"My dad always says stay humble. I don't worry about all that outside stuff. I want to better my game. Just worry about that."
It's working. Edwards has emerged as a potential major college point guard, the 2015 version of 2012's Yogi Ferrell, who is set to debut at Indiana in November.
Edwards is a 5-10, 160-pound full-throttle player who controls games with his scoring and passing. He can create instant offense when it's there, switch to a patient probing of the defense when it's necessary. He pushes the pace, handles the ball, finds the open man and hits the open shot.
His Indiana Elite/Team Indiana U15 coach, Mark Adams, has praised Edwards' quick feet, knowledge of the game, knack for playing defense and overall speed. Edwards rivals, if not surpasses, Indianapolis Cathedral's Jalen Coleman as the state's best point guard for 2015.
Indiana coach Tom Crean has noticed. So has Purdue coach Matt Painter. Both offered Edwards scholarships while he was still a freshman at East Chicago Central. While those remain his only two offers, Illinois, Notre Dame and Michigan are taking a long look at him.
That's fine, Edwards says, because he's in no hurry to commit.
"I'll take time, go to games and go to the campuses," he says. "I still want to work hard to get to the next level just like everybody else is," he said.
East Chicago coach Abe Brown saw this coming. Edwards played with the East Chicago varsity as a seventh grader. He averaged 14.6 points and 6.0 assists as a freshman. He's benefited from the tutelage of working with his father, who was a strong high school guard at Gary Roosevelt.
Brown has praised Edwards' maturity and basketball IQ, attributes Crean emphasizes during recruiting. Brown has also called Edwards, "the total package for his age."
This total package has a high motor that isn't worn down by a hectic July schedule. Indiana Elite/Team Indiana, which was rolling until a surprising quarterfinal loss to the Colorado Hawks during last weekend's Adidas Invitational in Indianapolis, is set to play in Minneapolis this week and Las Vegas next week.
"Fatigue isn't an issue," he says. "I have some great players beside me. When I get out of the game, my teammates finish the job."
One of those teammates is Carroll standout Chandler White.
Counting the spring, Indiana Elite/Team Indiana has only lost twice, the other coming in the finals of the Best Buy tourney in Chicago at the end of May. Edwards is expecting a strong finish this month.
"It's going to be challenging," he says. "There are some great teams out there. We have to play hard and work as a team. We'll see how great we are as we keep going."
Edwards says he hopes to take unofficial visits to Purdue, Indiana and Michigan after the travel ball season ends at the end of the month. Those three have recruited him hard for a while, while Illinois is making a strong late push.
Crean is no stranger to offering scholarships to young players, even younger than Edwards. He just offered DeRon Davis, a 6-8 Colorado forward who has yet to enter high school, and who at least one publication ranked as the Class of 2016's No. 3 player. Crean earlier offered another eighth grader, Eron Gordon, the brother of former IU standout and current NBA player Eric Gordon.
Edwards goes to the same high school that produced former Purdue basketball standout E'Twaun Moore (now with the Boston Celtics) and current Purdue football standout Kawann Short. Edwards says he's talked to them both about what it takes to excel at the college level.
That's for the future. For now, Edwards is focused on improving his play, winning games and staying humble.
Not necessarily in that order.

Tags: Picture
I'm confused as to why that was a reply to my post. By saying "Symmetry is always my biggest enemy when working on human portraits", I also meant that he needs to work on the symmetry.
Gregor =w= Langbehn said:
Needs symmetry, keep working at it.
Jordan said:Why does everyone draw that same picture of Rivers? There are others, you know.
Anyways, the picture is decent, especially for a 13 year old. Your values are good, but getting the blackest blacks a little darker will help bring more dimension and realism to the sketch. As for the proportions, the nose is pretty good for what level you appear to be at. The eyes could use some work, and the mouth is always the hardest part. Symmetry is always my biggest enemy when working on human portraits.
Try drawing this picture in about 10 - 15 minutes, and do it about 20 or 30 times. This will help you 'burn' the image into your mind, and it will help a lot with proportions. After that, you can spend closer to an hour on it, and you'll be surprised as to how much you will have improved.

Comments about Dockmate Mooring Arm For Watercraft Up To 5,000 lbs.:
Works great and was easy to install. Does what I was looking for it to do...safely moor my boat away from my dock, yet have easy and quick access when I want to depart my dock. The mooring arms and rope simply lay on the edge of the dock, out of the way when not in use. Slick system.

In Pennsylvania, all roads lead to "little Romes."
They are the cultural and economic hubs, the landlocked cities like York spread across a giant state.
"But our little Romes are burning," York City Mayor Kim Bracey told an audience of hundreds Thursday during her annual State of the City address.
York, like its third-class city brothers and sisters, is financially treading water, calling desperately for someone — the state, preferably — to throw a life preserver. Revenue from property taxes alone, Bracey said, is no longer enough to keep it afloat.
It's a message Bracey has delivered many times before. She's said it in Harrisburg to state lawmakers. She's said it during press conferences. She's said it at York City Council meetings.
"We need a healthy menu of local options," she said again Thursday.
In the meantime, Bracey said, city officials remain responsible stewards of the public purse.
Cutting costs: She went on to outline recent cost-saving measures, such as $600,000 in cuts to the fire department's budget through reduced overtime pay and the mayor's campaign for payment-in-lieu-of-taxes from tax-exempt properties. Starting in May, the city will begin targeting delinquent sewer customers who collectively owe the city about $18 million.
Bracey pledged Thursday to continue tightening the city's financial belt and to keep asking for relief from the state.
"York is worth restoring. York is worth cherishing. York is worth fighting for," she said to enthusiastic applause.
Looking ahead: In her address, Bracey identified three new priorities for the year. She said she's hoping a few experimental parking kiosks will be tested on city streets later this year. The technology would allow customers to pay for parking with cash or credit and upload more money from a remote location via cell phone — theoretically decreasing the risk of parking tickets, Bracey said.
"It's time that we do some of these progressive things," she said.
She also pledged energy efficiency at municipal facilities, including the new City Hall at 101 S. George St. and the soon-to-be renovated police station at 50 W. King St. And she urged the York Area Metropolitan Planning Organization to move forward with a $2.5 million project to repave Market Street from city line to city line by 2015.
Thursday's event was also a celebration of creative thinkers who grew up in York but took their talents well beyond central Pennsylvania. Keys to the city were awarded to three members of the rock band Live, visual artist Jeff Koons and poet and playwright Dorothy King.
Bracey said she envisions the city as a growing hub for artists.
"York is full of talent," she said.

2012 State of the City address: Getting Our Hearts, Houses & Hubs In Order
Congressman Platts, State Representatives, County Commissioners, City Council members, directors, front-line staff, members of City boards and authorities, representatives of the York City School District, former Mayor John Brenner, guests, my family, and a special friend all the way from California, I am honored to join you in York's social hall and cathedral, historic Central Market to report on the State of our City.
First, I want to thank all of our city citizens for working through tough economic and fiscal times to keep our city strong.
As an Air Force veteran, I also want to thank our men and women in the armed services here with us tonight for your service to a grateful nation.
York's Central Market has been a cherished living tradition since 1888.
In 1842, 45 years before our city even was incorporated and 46 years before this market was built, the famous English author, Charles Dickens, visited York.
Just a few yards away from here, Dickens dined and stayed at the White Hall Hotel, now the preserved National House. This is the soon-to-be-opened "Good Dog Taproom", which will add to downtown's reputation as the county's craft beer and social epicenter.
It is fitting that visitors to the old White Hall Hotel will be tilting back pints once again, as if the ghost of Dickens, the author of A Tale of Two Cities, lingers.
Indeed, our York in 2012 is a tale of two cities. One tale is of a City that is a thriving and bustling urban community -- the commercial, recreational, residential and cultural hub of one of the fastest growing and healthiest counties in Pennsylvania.
Another tale is of the fiscal city of systemic constraints and legacy costs, with 38% of the total value of its real estate being tax exempt.
Despite our challenges, together, we have divined streams of creative partnerships, policies, and programs; new jobs; and neighborhood renewal.
Yet the present fiscal crisis threatens the momentum and promise of York and scores of core communities throughout the Commonwealth.
It is time, then, to take an honest look in our mirrors, talk straight, and determine real solutions to realize fiscal stability and self-reliance.
First things first. Let it be known far and wide: your City Hall's professional ethics, management, and internal controls are as strong as they can be.
The Pennsylvania Economy League, Public Financial Management, the Department of Community and Economic Development, and third party auditors confirm that York's budget process and practices are as open, deliberative, and sound as they can be for a Pennsylvania City.
Consultants, experts, and state officials have repeated over and over again that your city government has competent, capable, and committed fiscal management.
Regardless, systemic constraints, structural deficits, and legacy costs batter us every year and threaten our future.
Simply put, Pennsylvania's local tax, pension, and arbitration systems, as well as urban boundaries are outdated, broken, and unfair.
In counties throughout Pennsylvania, all roads lead to our little Romes.
But our little Romes are burning.
You know this.
You also know that we need novel partnerships, innovative policy, and comprehensive reform so that our cores can be restored.
You also know that our state government has the ability to do that.
Twenty-one Pennsylvania municipalities, most recently the Cities of Altoona, Harrisburg, and Reading, are now in Act 47 distressed status.
Starved for resources, our landlocked cities consume property taxes just to avoid being charred and suffocated by circumstances beyond their control. That is no way to survive, let alone thrive.
In addition to pension and arbitration reform, we need a healthy menu of local options, freedom, and flexibility to get back to fiscal health.
In the meantime, we will continue to be responsible stewards of the public purse.
As promised last year, we launched our Fiscal Freedom and Stability campaign, using all tools in our belt to realize cost savings and rally for reform to restore our cores.
Not all of the following campaign efforts and innovations have been politically popular, but all of them were the right thing to do.
First, by scrutinizing all overtime and by rescheduling shifts, we reduced costs by about $600,000 per year. Such savings were the direct result of the leadership of Fire Chief Steve Buffington. He reined in costs, while the professionalism, experience, and cooperation of our fire fighters continued to deliver the same quality services.
I am grateful to our fire fighters for their service and to our fire chief, who, after thirty years of service to the citizens of York, has decided to retire.
A round of applause please!
Second, we have pursued regionalizing services with real results. We sensibly outsourced fire services to North York Borough. We also have engaged in serious talks with York Area United Fire Rescue to form a first ever metro York fire service that reduces costs while not
compromising coverage or response times. We are committed to public safety. We also must take a good, hard look at ourselves in the mirror. If we can realize cost savings without risking safety, we will do so.
Third, along with 28 other core municipalities, we helped to prepare the Pennsylvania League of Cities Core Communities in Crisis Report. For over a year, we have endorsed its recommendations. Once again, we urge our General Assembly to implement the PLCM recommendations.
These efforts, married with the efforts of nine Pennsylvania Chambers of Commerce, including York's own, led to the Coalition for Sustainable Communities Initiative -- government officials working with business leaders to restore our core communities to fiscal health. Tonight, I urge our General Assembly to advance the Coalition's recommendations.
We also had good, honest talks with our County Commissioners about the present crisis and proposed innovative ways and means to restore our county seat and share resources with cores throughout York County.
Joined by Commissioner Steve Chronister and Councilman Henry Nixon, we are strengthening our Fair Share Initiative, aimed at securing an increase in the total contributions of payments in lieu of taxes from tax exempt entities.
Fair Share won an early success with MANTEC, a nine-county non-profit headquartered in our city. Led by its CEO, John Lloyd MANTEC, for the first time in its history, has willingly offered to pay contribution in lieu of taxes equivalent to their annual city tax rate in 2012 and beyond – about $13000 per year. Mr. Lloyd that is stewardship at its finest! Thank you.
As of May 1st, we will aggressively seek to recoup unpaid sewer and refuse bills, which currently total $13 million. This is a first-of-its-kind, hard-line collection effort for our city.
Over two years, I have heard requests of debt forgiveness, but, given our city's fiscal state, enough is enough. We will charge interest to outstanding balances, affix municipal liens to delinquent properties, and cut off service to those who refuse to pay.
Our citizens who pay their bills and are in good-standing should not subsidize others' irresponsibility.
We have begun a valuation process of many City assets. This process will reveal the real value of city-owned assets, such as the sewer collection system and parking system. It also will help inform good faith negotiations for possible, and I stress the word "possible," purchases or leases.
Finally, we will continue to evaluate other options, such as a fairer earned income tax system that would be shared by commuters. We also will continue our due diligence of whether or not to enter Act 47. Act 47 is not a panacea for what ails us, but all reasonable options must be on the table.
That's a lot of work to foster fiscal stability in just a little over two years in office.
My pledge tonight is to continue our fiscal freedom initiatives, pursue cost-effective options, and fight for new revenue streams, while urging our state to help our cores help themselves.
My call to each of you is to support these initiatives, support our many struggling cities and boroughs, and urge our statewide elected officials to produce real reforms to restore our cores.
Despite these comprehensive measures and efforts, constraints and legacy costs conspire against us.
And As Yorkers, we're used to that, and we welcome the challenge.
And I'll take our odds, because our city, your county seat, at 125 years young, is much more than
worth saving.
York IS worth restoring.
York IS worth cherishing.
York IS worth fighting for to make it hum, tick, and thrive.
And we will never, ever, ever give up on our York.
That commitment is as strong as the bricks and beams of this magnificent market.
A second city of "great expectations," our physical, cultural, and commercial city – the progressive hub and heart of York County -- our York of neighborhoods, networks, and opportunity – is on the move!
Under our Job One Initiative, your City government has made customer service an essential value of all departments.
Under my watch, we have gotten our own houses in order to meet 21st century demands and to effectively serve all of our people.
We sought and secured a five million dollar state grant for the acquisition and redevelopment of 101 South George Street, your new City Hall, and for modernizing the former City Hall into a stand-alone Police Headquarters.
Your new City Hall is now open for business and centralized and streamlined customer service. Including ample parking and dignified council chambers, finally, finally, your City Hall is a convenient and efficient one-stop shop.
Through rent savings and rent earnings that pay off the expense over time, your new City Hall comes at NO net cost to City taxpayers.
Your city government will practice what we preach, and we will keep our own houses in order to deliver quality, professional customer service.
That was my pledge when I took office. And that is my commitment to you tonight as I announce three new priorities.
First, your government is becoming a leader in energy efficiency, because it is the right and smart thing to do, and because the headquarters of the nation's leader – Johnson Controls – is in our backyard.
Johnston Controls-led projects will bring long-term energy efficiency and cost savings to three city-owned "houses.": your new City Hall, our Police Headquarters, and our Sanitary Sewer Maintenance facility.
Second, from the west end to the east end, Market Street has not been repaved in two decades.
That must change. The milling and repaving of Market Street from city line to city line must be done. Tonight, I urge the York Area Metropolitan Planning Organization to make this a top priority so this $2.5 million project, funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and the federal government, will begin by 2015.
Third, user-friendly parking is a big part of customer service.
So, focusing in our Central Business District, I have directed our team to implement pilot digital parking kiosks.
User-friendly kiosks will begin replacing outdated meters and accept quarters, cash, and credit or debit cards.
We have stayed the course with our Community Policing strategy that focuses on nipping nuisances in the bud and pro-actively solving problems. This philosophy is what Police Chief
Kahley likes to call "Problem-Solving Policing."
Since I took office, hitting the sidewalks, face-to-face communication, building mutual trust, and neighborhood awareness are the four pillars of that philosophy. These pillars stem from a foundation of individual responsibility, familial responsibility, and neighborhood pride.
Crime is an issue that concerns us all, and fighting it involves us all.
We cannot allow violent crime to define our city, and it does not.
But we must take another hard look in that mirror, for facts are stubborn things. In 2011, 40% of the victims of homicide were black males under 30 years of age. And 7 out of 10 of the perpetrators of these violent crimes were black males, with an average age of 23.
I have a son who fits those demographics. I understand the anxiety one feels when hearing those statistics. And I understand the never-ending responsibility we have as parents to teach our children to avoid drugs and guns and to withstand peer pressure.
Removing negative elements from our community will take effective community policing. But it also will take strong nuclear and extended families, good jobs, dedicated clergy, and tough magistrates and judges. It also will take a quality education system that protects, educates, and prepares our children and youth.
Your concerns and calls for a safer York do not fall on deaf ears. Your City Police work tirelessly, and they deserve our support. And they need us, all of us, working with them.
So, for example, when Little Johnny comes home at 11 p.m. with a new pair of hundred dollar sneakers that you did not purchase and Little Johnny is fourteen years of age with no job and no means to buy those shoes, YOU, his mom or dad, need to be an involved parent and find out where those shoes came from. And if necessary contact the appropriate authority.
The lesson is as old as this building, but it bears repeating: public safety starts with individual responsibility and in the home; it starts with you.
For our part, Chief Kahley already has put more uniformed officers on our streets by using existing personnel. For the first time in recent history, the city now has six – that's right, six -- neighborhood enforcement units.
Our community policing strategy is yielding quantifiable results. In 2011, city burglaries decreased from 555 to 343, the lowest amount in a decade.
In fact, violent crime throughout York County was its lowest since 2005.
This is a county-wide effort, as the fate of our county seat and our city is one and the same. Our County Commissioners know this. Effective neighborhood units would not be possible without an annual allocation of $200,000 made by them.
Commissioners Steve Chronister, Doug Hoke, and Chris Reilly, please stand so we can recognize your leadership!
Over the last two years, your City Hall launched our Zeal for Curb Appeal and Zero Tolerance for Blight initiatives.
Together, we have made considerable progress on each.
We pledged that we would purchase four litter vacuums to be routinely deployed to keep our downtown clean. Presently, two are operated by our City Public Works Clean Crew and two by Downtown Inc.
We continue to appreciate and strengthen our partnership with DI. For example, we financially support a new DI business liaison, who pursues our existing economic development priorities.
Now equipped with a new zoning ordinance and new complementary ordinances, your city government is stepping up efforts to cite unseemly signage, soiled furniture, and outside vending machines. They cheapen our charm.
Pursuant to our Zero Tolerance for Blight pledge, we performed 12,043 property inspections in 2011 leading to 2,700 violation notices and 632 citations. We acquired long-time neighborhood nuisances, Gus' Tavern in Salem Square, and we are pending settlement on the American Legion building on East Princess Street.
Made up of several, collaborating city departments and our York County Sheriff's department, our Civil Enforcement Team conducted six "clean sweeps" in 2011. Citizen involvement and empowerment are crucial to clean sweeps and curb appeal.
My thanks go to the citizens who participated in our numerous citywide clean ups. By the way, there is one this Saturday! I look forward to seeing you at 7:30 a.m. at City Hall!
My thanks also go to our citizens for their patience as we completed the REBUILD York initiative in 2011. REBUILD repaved 17 city streets, made streetscape improvements along Beaver and Pine, and added many handicap-accessible curb cuts.
As citizens, we are the ultimate guarantor of curb appeal. So, let's recapture and practice individual responsibility and self-reliance city-wide! Our Take 10 On Tuesdays program aims to do just that by encouraging able-bodied people to take ten minutes each Tuesday to clean their
corners of our city.
As pledged last year, we are building a William Penn Compact so our city government and school district can work in tandem. Although we are legally separate and distinct from the school district, our city government has a vested interest in the success of the school district, and
vice versa.
City School Superintendant Debra Wortham now has cabinet level access to our administration.
We are more than pleased that she meets with our directors and me on a regular basis, and we enjoy a great working relationship.
Folks, we know that new leadership, discipline, and uniforms are important first steps, but just the beginning of what is needed to turn around a district that has been neglected for decades.
Until we, as a community, get over the "City-Stigma," until we truly embrace engaging and mentoring our youth, and until the state steps up with meaningful reform, resources, and incentives, Metro York will have an ongoing competitive disadvantage.
Quality education for all is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and unlocking our county's full potential.
So, yes, there is a need for Magnet schools; there is a need for an international-focused academy; there is a need for a regional arts-infused education; and, yes, charter schools are needed. All of the above, as well as regional consolidation must be on the table.
Quality education for all, not just for some, is the most pressing human rights and economic development challenge for York County in the 21st century.
A great adventure awaits us if we seize it.
In a world of rising voluntary segregation, forces of NIMBYism, an acronym for "Not In My Back Yard," will challenge efforts to consolidate school districts. And C-A-V-E people, standing for "Citizens Against Virtually Everything", will club and combat change, no matter how just and smart.
But, if we truly believe in liberty, justice and opportunity for all, we must break through the walls and fences of NIMBYism to embrace each other, and we must persevere through the valley of the CAVEs to reach the mountaintop of our full potential.
All the while, our city teachers and education professionals should be respected and embraced for their grace under pressure.
In my two years as Mayor, I am proud to have visited every single school in our District. I have seen the bright, expressive faces of our students, and listened to their hopes, fears, and dreams.
Tonight's youth award winners are just a sample of the great students we have in our City. They deserve our recognition and support, and they should inspire all of us.
Through the vision, laser focus, and tenacity of our Economic and Community Development Department, we are building a better York, and investor confidence is strong.
In 2011, our Bureau of Permits, Planning, and Zoning approved 1,753 building permits and THAT is up by 858 from 2010.
That paved the way for 171 new businesses and private ventures, and THAT is up by 61 from 2010.
These are economic indicators, and they indicate economic improvement!
Tonight we welcome a loud and "Live" future in our York.
A long fly ball from Sovereign Bank Stadium sits the former Bi-Comp building, a vacant, century old brick building of 50,000 square feet.
In 2011, native sons of York, three members of the multi-platinum rock band Live, fell in love with 210 York Street.
Since then, this Gracious Few have made it the nucleus of Think Loud Development, a cutting edge company and tech hub merging creative minds, a recording studio, and high-end apartments.
The $45 million Think Loud project is slated to add up to 60 new jobs and begin construction this summer.
Native sons Patrick Dahlheimer, Chad Gracey, and Chad Taylor, welcome home! You can light up our stages and blow out our eardrums in our City anytime you wish!
And business partner, Bill Hynes, tonight we adopt you as our own.
Announced last year and partnering with the White House and first-lady Michelle Obama, our administration, with leadership from our Health Bureau, has launched our Lean, Green, and Serene York campaign.
Lean, Green, and Serene York encourages a healthier and greener York, one that helps to make our citizens more active, productive, and fulfilled.
Enter Barbers with a Heart, which paired WellSpan doctors and city barber shops to educate customers and provide free blood pressure screenings to catch early warning signs of hypertension and diabetes.
A leaner York requires good parks to stretch our muscles and expand our lungs. Enter Bring On Play, whose mission is to renovate one playground per year and promote active lifestyles and family interaction.
The York Revolution led fundraising efforts for a grand slam of a project in 2011 at Westminster Park.
To continue the beat and build, historic Penn Park is up next in 2012.
Bring On Play's resume includes Lincoln Park, Allen Park, Westminster Park, and now Penn Park!
Bring on Play, keep bringing it on!
Good things come in three this Spring and Summer at Memorial Park.
First, a partnership of your City Hall, the County Convention and Visitors Bureau, and the Bob Hoffman Foundation is making Bob Hoffman Field more fan, visitor, and player-friendly. Second, we have re-sealed the state-of-the-art Reid Menzer Memorial Skate Park.
Also, the new Gold Star Garden is sprouting new trees and markers to form an inspiring gateway that honors our war veterans and those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
To become a leaner, greener, and more serene York, access to fresh foods must be a health, human rights, and public priority.
A host of partners have seeded and sustained eight Urban Farms, York's 21st century Victory Gardens, in neighborhoods spanning our City. These gardens harvest nutritious fruits and vegetables for our neighbors in need and for families who want to garden together. Families who garden together stay together!
And we are building new neighborhood grocery stores! In our northeast neighborhood, C-Town Supermarket, a full-service grocery store, opened at the Yorktown Mall in 2011. Featuring a bakery, butcher, deli, and seafood counter, C-Town adds 35 new jobs.
Also, a new $7.5 million public-private, mixed-use venture on the corner of South George Street and College Avenue, George Street Commons will add 28 townhomes and an upgraded fresh foods grocery store serving our south-side neighbors.
Ladies and gentlemen, some forty-five years after Charles Dickens dined here, York's first mayor, Daniel Noell, a York architect, J.A. Dempwolf, and a new corporation had a vision for a majestic structure at the heart of York.
Mayor Noell directed a street commissioner to tear down Centre Square's shabby market sheds at 2 a.m. in June of 1887, York's first year as an official city.
It appears that my predecessor had special middle-of-the-night powers! I wish I had a few of them today!
Mayor Noell's act of "creative destruction" led to the creative construction of Central Market within just one year.
In just one year, following Dempwolf's Romanesque Revival design, 16 business men and farmers broke ground, York masons expertly laid brick after durable brick, and Baltimore shipwrights bowed and weaved the cathedral beams arching and crisscrossing above us.
Total construction cost: $45,000.
Total political capital expended: tons.
Total value to generations of Yorkers: priceless!
When we, as Yorkers, put our minds to it and when the public and private sectors work, pull, and push together, we CAN achieve greatness.
We CAN build majestic markets and nurture nobility.
We CAN create breathtaking art and architecture and grow ground-breaking companies.
The evidence is all around you!
Today, both Central Market and Farmers Market are poised for major renovations thanks to a nearly $800,000 commitment from the federal government and over $3 million in state dollars, both of which your City Hall secured.
In 2012, working with the board of Farmers Market and York-based architects, together, we will develop a $500,000 plan for Farmers Market to install a new roof, repair masonry, and make other changes.
A social hall for York's diverse peoples and for all budgets and tastes, Central Market, now with 60 vendors, has a great mix of legacy vendors and 34 new vendors added just in the last five years.
And by the way, an old market favorite, Marchio's Deli, re-opens this Saturday!
Attesting to market's unique character, Mudhook is the only brewpub housed in a 19th century market in Pennsylvania.
Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we say to Central Market: happy birthday, one year early. Starting this month, a $1.9 million upgrade begins so York's social hall and cathedral welcomes, delights, and nourishes for generations to come.
Board President Jessica Brubaker, all members of the board – past and present, Market Masters Casi Babinchack and Terrence Downs, all market vendors and stakeholders – traditional and new – thank you for your service.
All of you deserve our applause!
The Bible says: "When there is no vision, the people perish".
Our long-term vision is to populate Continental Square, the Market District, and downtown with a critical mass of restaurants, cafes, and walkable destinations, especially those open after 6 p.m.
This strategy complements and contributes to our City's Strategic Plan and downtown's longterm 10-10-10 goal, sustaining 10 restaurants, 10 retailers, and 10 venues open after 6 p.m. within three connected blocks.
By clustering venues, we will cultivate a critical mass that generates jobs, opportunities, and synergies.
With York's legendary appetites and with your patronage, we will continue to seed and feed York's fresh foods revolution!
Friends, no great accomplishment occurs without a vision, followed by sweat, heartache, headaches, and perseverance.
The driving hope of a dream propels us to promised lands that we never could have reached alone.
Over the last few years, together, the private and public sectors developed, shared, and pursued a vision for our markets. Today, that vision is becoming a reality.
Make no mistake about it, together, we have devised and nurtured visions and plans and brought them to fruition. Successes do not occur over night, and many take more than one administration to be realized. But we have stuck to our convictions and stayed loyal to defined visions that have and are bringing hope and help to our people.
Just as we have done well by our markets, we will fight for these new visions and plans by tooth and by nail, by brick and by beam, and by hook and by crook.
Skeptics questioned whether our West End Salem Square Revitalization Plan ever would get
off the ground.
Because of strong partnerships with the YMCA, our faith-based partners, committed neighbors, and our west-end nuisance enforcement unit, the Salem Square Plan is taking shape. Neighbors are noticing real changes.
We acquired and closed a long-time nuisance bar, the former Gus' Tavern, on Princess Street, and acquired other blighted buildings for re-use.
We added 50 new vintage street lights to Princess and Penn Streets.
The Women's Giving Circle, Kinsley Construction, Habitat for Humanity, and our Police Department added new breezeway gates between Princess Street row-homes. These durable, dignified gates deter criminal activity.
Some also said that the Northwest Triangle would never happen.
Once again, staying true to a vision is paying off.
After years of hard work, the Northwest Triangle is taking shape as new streetscape, infrastructure, and private investments by Kinsley Construction form the foundation for a bright future. Now our attention turns to Beaver Street with the receipt of compelling, new development proposals.
Within the Northwest Triangle, creativity already is unleashed as the York Academy Regional Charter School, an international baccalaureate school, welcomed nearly 200 students in 2011. A sparkling collaboration of the City, Suburban, and Central York School Districts, the Academy will enroll about 300 students next school year.
Years ago, our City had a vision for a thriving Arts & Market District around Central Market.
Some said that state funding would never come.
Because of a host of believers, artisans, retailers, and a cultural alliance, our shared vision, slowly but surely, is becoming a reality.
To anchor and advance our Arts & Market District, your City Hall secured a state capital grant to bring to life the new Marketview Arts.
Complementing surrounding studios, galleries, and boutiques, and owned by our partner, the County Industrial Development Authority, Marketview Arts will open its doors and unleash creativity this year! Marketview will feature York College's fine arts program, a gallery and reception hall, and work space for diverse artists.
Tonight, after this speech (yes, I'm almost done!), we welcome everyone to Marketview Arts, where we will unleash some fellowship and fun!
Please join me there for the center's first-ever reception to celebrate our York and our award recipients.
Today, skeptics question York's ability to become a Mecca for artists and artisans.
I say, "Why not?"
Metro York already is the home of artists, artisans, and visionaries, such as composer Dominic Argento, playwright Ken Ludwig, actors Cameron Mitchell and Craig Sheffer, sculptor Lorann Jacobs and the following city sons and daughters: folk artist Lewis Miller, artist Horace Bonham, the brothers Dempwolf architects, the brothers Goodridge photographers, sculptor Charles Rudy, vocalists of The Magnificent Men, playwright and poet Dorothy King, saxophonist Tim Warfield, and rockers Patrick Dahlheimer, Chad Gracey, and Chad Taylor!
That is just a partial list, and new and upcoming teams of talent are in our midst!
Our city also is home to the nation's first and only city-wide Artist Homestead Program. It has a proven record of success. Please join us in splattering the merits and incentives of this program far and wide, so we relocate more artists and artisans to our York!
In the 1960s, our city also was home to an interior design and furniture shop owned by the parents of a precocious child who took art lessons on Queen Street.
That little boy grew up to become one of the most significant artists of our time and a visionary who has inspired, delighted, and provoked millions throughout the globe.
The one and only, Jeff Koons, please rise so we can give you a proper York homecoming welcome!
Tonight we celebrate craftsmanship, arts, and authenticity in all of their wonderful forms.
From CapLive! to "Live" and Think Loud,
From hand-pressed Harleys to hand-craft breweries,
From gardens of gears to Jeff Koons and other imagineers,
From culinary creators to industrial fabricators,
From YorkArts and CityArt to Marketview Arts,
From the Codorus, to CODO, to Colorworks,
From the Strand-Capitol to the Pullo Center,
From Dreamwrights to our right to dream,
And everything and everyone in between,
Our arts and design capital can stand tall.
My friends, we are getting our hearts, houses, and hubs in order to make our York the best community that it can be.
Just as our markets are the beating hearts and social hubs of our York, you are at the heart of our future.
We are the little city that could.
We are the little city that will.
We need all of you to lend your talents to the great task of building our body politic, our physical city, and our city of commerce and culture through collaboration, craftsmanship, and a commitment to quality.
Together, we can build that great second city – that shining, thriving city on the horizon that is our true potential.
Just as the great York masons and Baltimore shipwrights used brains and brawn to build the social cathedral in which we meet, your talents, skills, and can-do spirit can build a better and brighter York:
A York that is as humane and just as it is strong, resilient, and entrepreneurial;
Your York, one that that is as beautiful, creative, and visionary as it is fiscally smart and sound;
Our York, which is as united in purpose and promise as it is dynamically diverse in races, cultures, and skill sets;
One York, with liberty, opportunity, and justice for all!
May God bless you, and may God bless our York!

First exhibition in Belgium to be devoted to Antoine Watteau opens at Bozar Expo
Nicolas Lancret (1690-1743), Concert dans le salon ovale de Pierre Crozat Vers 1720-1724. Huile sur toile, 35,6 x 44,5 cm. Huile sur toile. Dallas Museum of Art Michael L. Rosenberg Foundation© Dallas Museum of Art Michael L. Rosenberg Foundation.
Bozar Expo
presents, in cooperation with the Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille, a major interdisciplinary project consisting of an ambitious exhibition, various concerts and debates, devoted to a great French master of the early 18th century, Antoine Watteau, with a particular focus on the musical scenes frequently depicted in the painter's work. The exhibition's general curator, the renowned orchestral conductor William Christie, is also at the heart of a cycle of eight concerts that will evoke the sensual atmosphere of Watteau's canvases.
In the spring of 2013 BOZAR is presenting the first exhibition in Belgium to be devoted to Antoine Watteau (16841721). This not only offers an opportunity to see a number of his works; moreover, it sets his pictures to music; it also highlights the correspondence between the arts that was at the heart of his work as an artist. Almost a third of Watteau's works feature musicians. Born to a humble family, he was a short-lived star of French 18th-century painting, dying at the early age of 37. Despite his short life and limited oeuvre, Watteau's elegance and genius left their mark on European art.
Antoine Watteau, father of the "fêtes galantes"
Little is known about his years of training in his native Valenciennes, a town that was open to both Flemish and French influences, as it only became attached to France in 1678. We can, however, be sure of the importance of his master, Claude Gillot (16731722). It was through him that Watteau, the fils du Nord, discovered Italian painting and the Commedia dell'Arte, which meant so much to him, even though he would never make the journey to Italy.
Watteau passed the bulk of his career in Paris, towards the end of the reign of the Sun King and during the Regency, a period in which the French capital experienced an aesthetic ferment and a renewed commercial enthusiasm for art. It was in that context that, in the 1720s, Watteau became a protégé of Pierre Crozat (16611740), one of his great patrons. Crozat helped to bring into being a musical circle in which both Italian and French music were acclaimed. His collection also helped Watteau to find himself as an artist, as he enthusiastically copied drawings it contained by Flemish and Venetian masters (Rubens, Van Dyck, Titian, and Campagnola). Their attention to colour, movement, and sensuality fascinated the young artist, who drew on those qualities to create a new style, less grandiloquent and less formal, imbued with a feigned lightness and an unprecedented elegance.
So there is nothing fortuitous about the presence of other disciplines theatre, dance, and music, in particular in Watteau's paintings. They are very much present in the figures depicted in the "fêtes galantes", whose language he invented: scenes of intimacy, conversation, and music set in an enclosed natural setting in which the human condition plays with appearances. Are we looking at aristocrats who have put on the costumes of actors or at theatrical scenes reconstructed in a bucolic setting? Watteau explores, as no one had done before him, a free combination of theatrical characters, whom he places away from the stage, somewhere between life and playing a role. Music is never far away in these fêtes galantes. The titles of works such as La Leçon de musique, Le Concert amoureux, and LAccord parfait are highly evocative in this context.
The exhibition Antoine Watteau (16841721). The Music Lesson
The exhibition, which has a particular focus on the musical aspect of Watteau's painting, brings together a unique selection of fifteen of the artist's canvases and thirty of his drawings, some of which have not been seen by the European public for more than 50 years. It also presents fifty engravings by his contemporaries, including François Boucher, Benoît Audran II, and Charles-Nicolas Cochin, who produced the finest engravings of the 18th century and spread Watteau's art throughout Europe. Thanks to them, we have reproductions of paintings of his that have since been lost and it is possible to offer an almost complete overview of his work. This unprecedented combination of original paintings, drawings, and engravings, as well as archival material, scores, and musical instruments of the same period, is a first.
The exhibition itinerary is organised chronologically and thematically. The visitor first discovers the silent dimension of Watteau's art and is thus better placed to appreciate its various musical tones later in the exhibition.
The aesthetic experience is heightened as the visitor is immersed in the music of the time thanks to the audioguides and several listening points throughout the exhibition circuit. A special room is set aside for free concerts given by students of various Belgian and French conservatories on Thursday evenings.
The intervention by Dirk Braeckman, leading Belgian photographer with an international reputation, establishes connections between Watteaus work and contemporary art.

Based on a true story of Felix Breazeale, a Tennessee recluse, who planned his own funeral while he was still alive so he could enjoy it.
Academy Award® winner Robert Duvall (1984, Best Actor, Tender Mercies) is Felix Bush, the "Hermit of Caleb County," a man so haunted by his secrets that he has lived in quiet desolation in the Tennessee backwoods for over 40 years. Realizing that he is near his own mortality, Bush decides to have a "living funeral party," inviting people to tell their stories about him. Enlisting the help of Frank Quinn(Golden Globe® winner Bill Murray, 2004, Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy, Lost in Translation) and Buddy Robinson (Lucas Black, Legion), Bush goes through a process of self-discovery, allowing him to deal with his past secrets, including ones involving old flame (and new widow) Mattie (Academy Award®winner Sissy Spacek, 1980, Best Actress, Coal Miner's Daughter).
In 1930s Tennessee, a hermit comes out of the woods to plan his own funeral - he wants it to happen while he's still alive. And with the help of a smarmy undertaker, he gets what he wants! With Bill Murray.

Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) finally got his man out of Harlan alive on the Tuesday's episode of Justified, but the end of the Drew Thompson mystery/pursuit doesn't necessarily mean an end to the case — there are still two episodes left this season, after all. TV Guide Magazine called up executive producer Graham Yost for a preview of the homestretch. read more
How long has the Justified fan waited for someone to ask this question to Boyd Crowder: "Where did you get all of those teeth?" You'll likely be grinning yourself, while cringing at the edge of your seat, as the pleasures just keep multiplying — a high-octane Justified highball of great banter, tremendous suspense, clever twists and reversals — in a harrowing, hilarious and fantastically entertaining episode, so eventful you might mistake it for a season finale, but thankfully there are still two more episodes to go (Tuesday, 10/9c, FX) in this terrific fourth season.
It has all been building to this violent showdown between the forces of good (the U.S. marshals) and evil (everyone else, from Boyd's crew to an army of thugs and snipers representing the Detroit mob). The target is Drew Thompson (the great Jim Beaver), a 30-year fugitive in sheriff's clothing, currently in the marshals' custody, although they feel like sitting ducks, outnumbered and outgunned in Harlan as they calculate several desperate escape maneuvers while awaiting rescue. The episode, written by exec producer Graham Yost and Chris Provenzano, is titled "Decoy," and revolves around a series of standoffs, confrontations and subterfuges that leave few unscathed and unbloodied. Special props to Patton Oswalt as the loyal and lovably resilient Constable Bob, who even Raylan has to admit is a "tough son-of-a-bitch" by the time the dust settles, following a tense encounter outside a (metaphorically apt) high-school principal's office.
Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) has been shot, strung upside-down and beaten with a bat, and left twice by the woman of his dreams (and now mother of his unborn child), but seldom have we seen Justified's hero as down in the dumps as when his scofflaw father Arlo (Raymond Barry) shot and killed a man he believed to be Raylan at the end of last season.
It's in that low state — living above a dive bar and moonlighting as a sort-of bounty hunter, a big no-no for Marshals — that we find Raylan at the start Season 4, which premieres Tuesday, Jan. 8 at 10/9c on FX. But rather than go the Big Bad route of previous seasons, executive producer Graham Yost says Raylan's biggest beef this season will be with a 30-year-old case whose perpetrator is not as dead as previously thought. "He's of great value to both the forces of good and the forces of badness," Yost says, before adding that any more information might lead into spoiler territory. However, the showrunner did give TV Guide Magazine a few other hints about the season.

Words and Stories to live by…
It is true.
No one really pays a lot of attention to someone who is truly great until he is gone.
"But once you're gone, you belong to the world." [quoted from an acquaintance of Steve]
Within minutes of his passing, almost every media you can think of spoke of him. Tweets sky rocketed and we mourned with isad tweets and RIP Steve Jobs all over the internet.
Next came his speeches from Stanford in 2005 and pictures and lists of Apple products people purchased. Anything associated with Steve Jobs were searched on the internet 25% of the time on October 6th, 2011 (the day after his passing) in the U.S.A.
What was coincidental is that we were just talking about the iPhone4S with our friend and was thinking of ways to make a parody of the marketing campaign. This was about an hour before the wild fire spread of his passing. By the time I got back on the internet, saw the pages, the tweets and facebook news, my mouth just dropped and I cross referenced with several reliable sources to make sure it wasn't a hoax.
My bf and I spoke of him that night and tried to make connections and sense out of everything he's done and how precious life is for all of us.
As a Chinese born Canadian, I began to think about old school Chinese traditions and what our parents want us to become. Quoting Mr Jobs:
"Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition."
As I write on my Mac and start to make my own connections in life, although I have broken free of the typical careers Chinese parents would have wanted of me, I still think I can do more to encourage or inspire others to follow their own heart and intuition.
Just because I was once told I cannot do this or I cannot be like that, doesn't mean it is true.
The night he passed, I could only offer his words of wisdom, and try to pass it along to those who appreciate it:
