Vanessa Winship
Absolutely, and sometimes too small. But then again, that smallness does have its advantages so it was lovely to get a lovely email from Vanessa Winship, saying she follows the blog and clarifying some points on the authorship of her Sweet Nothings work.
"These portraits are something of a departure for me ( though not
entirely) and partly the reason for this was what I consider the
problem of presumed absence of the photographer especially in
reportage style photography, which plays/alludes very much to this idea.
For me this has become a huge issue.
In the portraits I wanted to created this space for the girls ,
but I also wanted to create images that were so direct so much about
being face to face, that there is no possibility of denying my
presence ( and therefore that of the viewer) in fact it is a very
conscious effort to address this question.
When I make an image i am very much part of the whole process, the
whole construct, I bring with me all of my baggage, they are
absolutely emotionally loaded if you like.
So the structure of the technique is one thing, the space I create is
one thing, and of course finally what happens between myself and my
subject (these small vulnerable girls in this case..and me too for
that matter).
I want to say I am absolutely present and responsible, not absent and
passive....this is in fact meant to be anti passive...."
Which is really clear but I still think that withdrawal, that creation of a space, despite the performance of the dance of the large-format, though not passive, does allow something that is not part of herself to come in, that does have an authenticity that is tied both to Winship's anti-performance and the noumenal entity that is those children. They're truthful in other words, and it's not just Winship's truth.
A lot of people try to do that and use a similar method - the internet is a small place - follow the links - but not many people succeed. Winship does, both because of who she is and the way she photographs, but also because of who she photographs.

Thanks for the link, Jakob - are you the Jakob Thomsen who does the otherworldly, ethereal pictures of the exotic and mundane (sorry for my incoherence and if I got that completely wrong)- great stuff!
- 6 October 2008 at 11:51
You're welcome!
I've just looked up those words in my dictionary, and I do think, it is fair to describe my pictures in that way, so yes, I could be that Jakob Thomsen - at least I'm responsible for those in my homepage (www.jakobthomsen.com).
No matter, who you're thinking of, I would like to give you compliments for your blog, which I like, and also for your pictures, which are great! (I have been showing your television-pictures to my photography students).

Thanks Jakob. I love your work too and it's especially nice when other photographers like the work.
You showed the sofa portraits to your students - excellent. What did they think of them? I'd love to know.
- 6 October 2008 at 19:48
You're right; it's always nice to learn that someone has seen your work and appreciate it - so thank you for your kind words!
My students also liked your sofa portraits. I cannot remember excactly what were said (I think it's a year or so, since I showed them), but I can say that I find the pictures moving and compassionate. I think it's a great excample of successful photography done at home. No need to go somewhere exotic!

Well, I think it worked so well.
The presence in the images is completely compelling, and it seems so much as if they portraits are really capturing the 'dance', the importance of the moment, the thrilling adventure of a foreigner coming with a camera to portrait probably some of the most overseen people in that society. These are no happy snaps but serious experiences in a country where cameras and photographing are not the common place we in the 5,6 or 7% of the worlds richest populations take so for granted, surrounded as we are by cameras in all ways - on the streets watching our moves, in our mobiles, the digital dimses we carry like small change in our pockets - published on our sites and blogs and flickrs and family computer albums and digital frames and on and on...
And truthful they are and a testament too; to history and politics and the changes in a society, to education and what it may bring, though not necessarily for these girls, perhaps there granddaughters. To religion, to economics, to the striving and surviving of childhood and to diligent and proud parents; to the rugged landscape where it is all taking place......mostly holding hands, mostly touching, mostly holding, serious, in the moment, preened and proud and fine.
Like the very best of most of the 'documentary' work I can call to mind, the photographer is at least half of the experience and that is just an added bonus and the icing to a very fine piece and really belies and confounds the idea of the absent neutral impartial objective reporter conferring truth upon us through their lense work.

It works fantastically, Simon - couldn't agree more. Very well put.
- 8 October 2008 at 17:39
Oh, I suddenly realize that I was going on about "no need to go anywhere exotic" in a comment to Vanessa Winship, whose portraits from Turkey I also find truely great.
What I really wanted to say was that I like pictures dealing with family and everyday (but I often seem to be going exotic places myself to take photos).
Once again, thank you for a good blog!
- 8 October 2008 at 22:27
- colin pantall said...
I would love to go somewhere exotic, Jakob! I'm sick of England, lovely though it can be.
Anyway, I know what you mean - one thing is making the everyday exotic or dramatic or bringing different elements to it. The other thing is making the exotic everyday and de-exoticising it - which is what Vanessa does I think. There's nothing exotic about her schoolgirls - thought there is a certain drama and nostalgia.
Mmm, I'll have to think about this one a bit more...

Sweden is REALLY exotic - come on over and take some really mundane snaps ;)
- 9 October 2008 at 18:28
- colin pantall said...
Sounds great, Simon, or are you for real on this one - what if you're pulling my chain and I go over and it's mundane, then do I have to do exotic. But then what if you're right and it's exotic then do I have to do mundane. And how about if it's mundane and I do mundane pictures or it's exotic and I do exotic pictures. Or is anything permissible, then where do we stand. We need some rules on this or a diagram at least. And what is exotic, and what is mundane.

We are opening up a new concept of homestyle quality food delivered or picked up with the convienience of a sit in dining area. Our quality of food is 2 steps up from Applebees but a step down from a gourmet restaurant. Our niche is large portions of Italian and American comfort food at a relatively affordable price.
Good To Go
Some initial ideas include using a steam tray (having the words GOOD To Go sitting in it?), a paper plate, having the words as part of a hanging sign or shadowbox like a neon sign would be in, or anything else that you can think of that fits in with the concept of appealing to average blue collar Americans. Our target market is the busy family or young professional who doesn't have time to or doesn't choose to cook a home cooked meal every day of the week. Red/maroon and blue are good colors as well as warm earth tones in the brown and tan family.

Teutonic Safari Spotting Rare Wild Animals in Germany
The hoopoe is an impressive-looking bird with its long beak, red plumage, black-and-white striped wings and tail, and exotic crown. "If you come along with me, you're pretty sure to spot a hoopoe," says Engelbert Mayer of the Kaiserstuhl wildlife conservation association in south-western Germany. He has been organizing excursions to see the rare bird for years.
The migrant hoopoe is currently heading south and will be back next March. The male returns to the breeding place he chose the previous autumn. He'll sit there and call until a female flutters by to mate. They breed in holes in tree trunks or in small sheds.
The Kaiserstuhl, a range of low mountains, has had a conservation program for the hoopoe for the last 23 years, and its population has grown from a handful of pairs to more than 100 as a result. Mayer and his colleagues have put up breeding boxes, which is why the ornithologist knows the best places for observing the attractive birds.
"The special thing about the hoopoe is his looks," says Mayer, "especially when he spreads his fan." It takes a lot of concentration to witness the spectacle. When the hoopoe approaches the nest or flies out of it, it always briefly sits down somewhere nearby. That's the moment. Only when it sits down does it spread its fan. When it's sitting, it folds its feathers back down.
Just Passing Through -- Cranes Near Berlin
With its long legs, black-and-white feathers and red crown, the crane is an elegant species. In the 1970s it was almost extinct in Germany with fewer than 600 pairs. But the number of cranes has grown tenfold since then.
In autumn, the cranes leave Germany, Scandinavia and eastern Europe to head for sunnier climes. The birds are among the few beneficiaries of global warming. Because the winters in Europe are getting milder, many of them no longer bother to make the dangerous journey all the way to Africa, and spend the winter in Germany instead.
"The autumn is the best time to watch cranes," says Henrik Watzke, a wildlife expert from Linum near Berlin. "We get up to 80,000 birds in a single day here." The area around Linum is one of the biggest inland resting areas for cranes in central Europe. Watzke runs a group that provides regular crane tours from Sept. 24 until Nov. 13.
During the day, the birds stand in the harvested fields, eating, resting and cleaning themselves in preparation for their long journey south. They sleep at night in the shallow waters. "The evening mass takeoff to the sleeping areas is a fantastic spectacle," says Watzke. "Tens of thousands of cranes crowd the sky and emit ther typical trumpet-like calls. It's an incredible atmosphere."
Hard-working Beavers
Beaver meat is tasty and their fur is warm -- two reasons why the beaver almost became extinct in Germany by the end of the 19th century. Conservation projects and targeted repopulation have increased their numbers since then, and there are many places where they can be observed, such as the "Dübener Heide" nature park near Leipzig in the eastern state of Saxony, or the "Feldberger Seenlandschaft" park in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
The observer can hide in a small wooden shed with viewing cutouts, and with a bit of luck watch beavers at work. In the Spessart mountain range in southwestern Germany, groups run beaver excursions to inspect signs of activity such as gnawed trees and dams. An impressive beaver colony can be seen on Lake Chiemsee in Bavaria. "The lodge is five meters long and three meters high," says Heinz-Jürgen Pohl, the local beaver expert. Up to six beavers live together here. "You can see into the lodge, especially in the winter when there are no reeds or leaves on the trees. There's a 50-50 chance of spotting a beaver," says Pohl, who offers guided tours.
Bats in Northern Germany
The northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein is home to 15 different types of bats. They spend the winter under bridge arches or in the caves of Kalkberg mountain near the town of Bad Segeberg. The Kalkberg is the largest known winter habitat for bats in central Europe. Even the very rare Bechstein's bat and Brandt's bat can be found here, along with the Greater mouse-eared bat, Germany's biggest species of bat, which is threatened with extinction in Schleswig-Holstein.
It is possible to inspect the Kalkberg Cave up until Sept. 30, before the winter season starts. During that time only a few bats are there, mostly young ones checking out their winter quarters before they move in during October. But to preserve their habitat the cave is closed to visitors during the winter months. There are also bat-spotting excursions elsewhere in the region until the end of September.
Things get really spectacular again in the spring, when the bats awake from their hibernation and leave the cave. In the dusk, thousands can be seen fluttering out into the night sky.
Cute Seals in the North Sea
Everyones has seen photos of impossibly cute seal pups with their thick white fur and big, black eyes. The two indigenous species of seal, the grey seal and harbor seal, were once almost extinct in Germany. Fishing deprived them of food and many seals were killed because they were seen as a threat to the industry. There was even a time when premiums were paid for dead seals.
But the grey seal and harbor seal are now protected species and and their numbers are growing again in the North Sea. The grey seal, weighing up to 300 kilos and twice as big as the harbor seal, is Germany's largest predator. The island of Helgoland in the North Sea is a favored place for seal-watching. The animals lie on the nearby island of Düne, close to restaurants and beaches.
The Jordsand conservation group organizes regular trips to see the seals. "Up to 200 seals lie on Düne during the breeding season," says Ulrich Kieschnick, a local guide. The highlights of the year are in May and June when the harbor seal cubs are born, and in December and January, when the grey seal cubs are born. The little white cubs spend four weeks on the beach and are suckled by their mothers before they learn to swim in the sea.
"The harbour seals are pretty quiet but the grey seals are always noisy," says Kieschnick. Grey seals communicate through grunts in various pitches. "If you keep quiet and avoid hectic movements you can get as close as 30 meters to the seals."
Wolves Make a Comeback in Saxony
Wolves roamed the whole of Europe for centuries. But intense hunting by livestock owners protecting their animals made wolves virtually extinct in western and central Europe by the end of the 19th century. It wasn't until the 1990s that wolves were sighted in Germany again. They had wandered in from Poland. In 2000, the first wolf cubs were born in the Lausitz region of Saxony, which now has its own wolf museum and organizes regular tours.
"Unfortunately you don't get to see wolves on the excursions," says Helene Möslinger of the Wolfsregion Lausitz office. But the trips offer interesting insights. "Visitors follow the tracks and the droppings and learn a lot about the wolf, his expulsion and return to the region."
Wildcats in the West
If you walk through the woods and spot a cat, it could be a normal domestic feline -- but it could also be a wildcat. The greyish-brown animals are a little larger and more powerfully built than their domesticated relations and have a bushy tail with black rings. Wildcats are very shy, even if they have been hand-reared.
In Germany, wildcats live in central and southwest regions, such as the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The region's wildlife conservation agency has published a brochure with local hiking trails through areas populated with wildcats. But as the the animals are rare and shy, direct encounters are very unlikely. In the spring, however, hikers sometimes spot kittens playing on the path. The mother is probably away hunting and will return soon, so the kittens must under no circumstances be disturbed.
Lonely Lynx in Bavaria
Like wolves and wildcats, the lynx is a very shy animal and it takes a lot of luck to spot one in the wild. "I have worked and lived in the national park for 36 years and I've only seen a wild lynx once," says Rainer Pöhlmann of the Bayerischer Wald national park. The last wild lynx in the Bayerische Wald forest region was shot in the mid-19th century, and the species didn't return until the latter half of the 20th century.
But it is nevertheless possible to see lynx in the park because several are kept in an open-air enclosure. "Visitors can hike through our nature park and then take a look at the animals in the enclosure," says Pöhlmann. Between four and six adult lynx can be seen roaming around the spacious 14,000-square-meter fenced-off area. "Lynx are loners and avoid each other. With enclosures that big, it works quite well," says Pöhlmann. But in the wild, their territories ae much bigger, in some cases bigger than the entire 240-square-kilometre nature park, he added.
Otters and Badgers in Lower Saxony
In the Gut Sunder park in the northern state of Lower Saxony, wildlife experts have found a special way to permit the observation of rare animals. Visitors who don't spot one while hiking around the park can go to an animal film center which has livestream camera transmissions from 10 locations that are inaccessible to visitors. The cameras film animals such as otters, badgers, kingfishers and pine martens. And if the animals happen to be out of view of the cameras, highlights can be sampled in the film archives.
Kingfishers All Over Germany
You don't always have to go on a guided tour to see rare animals in Germany. You just need to be alert and lucky. You might see a flash of turquoise diving into the water -- it's likely a kingfisher. The red-breasted bird with a shiny blue back is indigenous all over Germany. But it is choosy about where it lives. Only natural flowing streams and rivers will do. That's because kingfishers dig holes in the steep slopes of brooks and rivers to bring up their young. The slopes must be at least a meter high so that the offspring is protected from floods. Kingfishers breed up to three times per year. While one parent, usually the father, looks after the older chicks, the female cares for the youngest offspring.
So if you're walking along a stream or a river that weaves its way through the countryside, there's a chance you'll spot a kingfisher, maybe sitting on a branch jutting out over the water, waiting for food. If you're lucky, you can even witness a scene like this: as soon as a little fish comes close to the surface of the water, the kingfisher dives into the water, returns to his branch with the fish in his beak, knocks the hapless fish against the branch once or twice and devours it, head first.

It's a Hollywood date night!
Amy Poehler and her new beau, Nick Kroll, enjoyed each other's company at the AFI Life Achievement Award ceremony honoring funnyman and filmmaker Mel Brooks at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre on Thursday night.
"Amy looked really happy and upbeat throughout the night – they were cozy," an observer tells PEOPLE. "I haven't seen Amy look this light and airy while out in a long, long time."
Poehler, who split from Arrested Development's Will Arnett last September, and Kroll started dating earlier this year.
The pair worked together when Kroll, a comedian, guest-starred on Poehler's NBC hit Parks and Recreation in the recurring role of "The Douche."
Though Poehler – who shares two kids with Arnett, Archie, 4½, and Abel, 2½ – seems happy to be making her new relationship public, her ex has said dating seems "very scary."

| -1.2°C Belfast
Scarlets kept their hopes of a place in the RaboDirect PRO12 championship play-offs alive with a hard-fought 23-26 victory over bottom side Aironi in Viadana.
Johnathan Edwards's first-half try helped them to a 16-6 lead at half-time, but the Italians made a strong start to the second period and deservedly drew level.
However, further tries for Scarlets from Liam Williams and Ben Morgan proved enough to give them continued hope of a top-four finish.
Aironi were dogged opponents though, and Giulio Toniolatti's converted try at the death earned them a losing bonus point.
Rhys Priestland kicked the first of his 11 points with a third-minute penalty, and Scarlets just failed to score the opening try when Nick Reynolds dropped the ball as he went to ground it in the corner.
Aironi scored penalties through Tito Tebaldi and Luciano Orquera either side of Priestland's second successful penalty to make the score 6-6 before Scarlets grabbed a try just before the half-hour mark, Edwards offering good support following a break down the right to touch down.
Priestland added the extras and a third penalty to open up a 10-point lead, although Aironi were unlucky not to pull one back as Josh Sole dropped the ball with the line in sight after a strong Phil John tackle.
A yellow card for Josh Turnbull was seized upon by Aironi, whose converted penalty try brought them level, with Orquera then missing a long-range kick to put them ahead.
Scarlets responded well as Williams exploited a gap in the Aironi defence to race away, and Morgan accepted an offload from Andy Fenby after a tremendous break to also touch down, with both Priestland conversion attempts bouncing off the post and out.
Toniolatti's converted try was the final action as Aironi reduced the deficit to three points, and Scarlets are now just one point behind fifth-placed Ulster and two behind the Glasgow Warriors in fourth with two games to go.

Traditional methods often mean that users remove applications with the Mac Trash or App built-in uninstall tool. It is very simple and convenient for Mac users to apply these two common ways when removing the software from Mac OS X. However, Mac Trash and self-uninstaller are not able to completely uninstall software for you.

Normally, associated files would be divided into three types: additional support files, caches and preference files. If you want to uninstall Map Distances 1.3, you can find the junk files in these three folders: /Library/Preferences/, /Library/Application Support/, /Library/Caches/. You should know that neither Mac Trash nor self-uninstaller can detect out the leftovers.
The leftovers should be totally removed from the computer after you uninstall the main executable file of the App. Most of the users complain that their Macs are getting more and more slow just because they never clean up the junk files every time when they uninstall unwanted applications. They have no idea what the leftovers are and where the files located in. The system may run unstably and become quite slow because of the less system space.

H/t to Pulitzer-Prize winning investigative reporting outlet Pro Publica for sharing the following data with us. Here are some screen captures that depict how your taxpayer dollars are being spent (…interestingly, Census Bureau Communications Director Steve Jost's former boss Carolyn Maloney represents New York City and the areas where $125,000,000 in stimulus money is headed in communications contracts!). The amount of money being spent on partnership support is particularly disturbing as I have received multiple reports of partnership materials being DISCARDED by the palette!

text: It was recently confirmed that a female blacktip shark from the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center in Virginia Beach carried a shark pup with no genetic material from a male shark. This is the second case in which scientists have used DNA testing to verify a "virgin birth" of a shark, the first was reported from a bonnethead shark in Omaha, Nebraska. Shark experts at the National Aquarium are familiar with the studies, but are still very intrigued with the findings. Fishes Research Specialist at the National Aquarium, Alan Henningsen, believes that this type of birth could be more common in the wild then once thought, and could be in response to declining populations and the reduced encounters with mates. However, these theories are not testable in the wild. Another of our shark experts, Andy Dehart, agrees with others in saying that this finding will not be a fix for the falling shark population. In both cases of parthenogenesis in aquariums there was only one pup. Bonnethead liters are usually 6-8 pups and blacktips generally have 2-4 pups. It is likely these events happened as a survival instinct due to the lack of a male, but even in extreme cases if this were happening in the wild it would not be a successful way for shark populations to reestablish themselves. So how can this be true? Scientists confirmed shark parthenogenesis, the process that allows females of some species to produce offspring without sperm, last week from DNA test results. The mother blacktip shark, Tidbit, died last year during a routine yearly checkup. During her necropsy (a shark autopsy), a 10-inch, almost full term shark pup was found. Tidbit arrived to the Aquarium before reaching sexual maturity, and in her eight years there she had never been in a tank with a male shark. Scientists tested DNA of the mother and baby to verify that the shark was in fact able to produce her own pup without a fertilizer present. In their studies, scientists discovered that Tidbit's DNA was almost exactly the same as the pup's, it was just set up in a different order. It was decided that not only did the pup have Tidbit's DNA, but it had a second set of the same copied DNA. There have been no confirmed asexual births from any sharks at the National Aquarium, but that there have been successful births of sandbar sharks from females that arrived when pregnant, as well as bonnethead sharks that mated while at the Aquarium. What's truly fascinating is that until the case in Omaha, no one thought this was possible in a higher vertebrate like a shark. Nature certainly is amazing, and there is still much we need to learn about the species that seem so common to us. For more information about our sharks and how to visit them, click here.

AES Highgrove Power Plant Licensing Case
Docket Number:
06-AFC-02 (Application For Certification)
Project Status: Terminated: February 4, 2010.
Committee that oversaw Original Licensing Proceeding:
Anthony Eggert, Commissioner, Presiding Member
Jeffrey D. Byron, Commissioner, Associate Member
Hearing Officer: Paul Kramer
Key Dates
- May 25, 2006 - Application for Certification (AFC) filed with California Energy Commission
- July 19, 2006 - Commission accepts Application for Certification (AFC) as complete.
- July 31, 2009 - Order Suspending Proceeding.
- February 2, 2010 - Company files request to withdraw project.
- February 4, 2010 - Committee issues order terminating proceeeding.
The AES Highgrove Project was a proposed 300-megawatt (MW) peaking power plant facility consisting of three natural-gas-fired turbines and associated equipment. The facility was to be located at 12700 Taylor Street, in an industrially zoned area in the City of Grand Terrace, San Bernardino County, on the site of a power plant formerly owned by Southern California Edison (SCE). The project was going to consist of demolition of the old plant and constructing the new Highgrove facility on property that was once used by the former generating station for fuel oil storage.
Energy Commission Facility Certification Process
The California Energy Commission is the lead agency (for licensing thermal power plants 50 megawatts and larger) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has a certified regulatory program under CEQA. Under its certified program, the Energy Commission is exempt from having to prepare an environmental impact report. Its certified program, however, does require environmental analysis of the project, including an analysis of alternatives and mitigation measures to minimize any significant adverse effect the project may have on the environment.

An Accomplishment is really in the eye of the beholder.
For my accomplishments with satisfaction so far they are all interconnected. The finding of distant kin long forgotten and the locating of pictures and people and documents to verify the family story left to me by my Grandfather's Cecil Lee HOFFMAN and Carl F JONES.
Grandfather Cecil's information was interesting and exciting. By accident I found the link we were told of that we did not believe was real. ( HAAAY Grandpa.)
Grandfather Jones was also as interesting by what he did and did not share. ( I found IT Grandfather .)Most of my accomplishments would not have happened if it had not been for these two gentlemen. Of course, there was much work to be in finding the answers but the foundation was laid by them.
The web page ( we built) with my cousin Helen Durbin's assistance is to share with others to help them, all move forward in finding answers. Helen researched in Pennsylvania and I did mine from the west coast of California and some in WYO, NE and IOWA.
What is the most satisfying of all that I have done I would say is the accumulation of all the above. The meeting more kin, the sharing with others, the learning of our background, they all
file in the top; of course being married 50 years, raising five children and helping with ten grandchildren all fill in the mix. Helping them to understand the legacy that was left them to carry forward was and is my ultimate goal.

"Uproarious, unclassifiable. . . exquisitely manic. . . . [Dyer is] assuredly among the funniest writers alive." —San Francisco Chronicle
"A delightfully original book. . . . Dyer's writing brims with offbeat insights that had me chuckling for hours later, or reading aloud to dinner companions." —Tony Horowitz, The New York Times Book Review
"A freewheeling, bawdy, elegant tour of a brilliant mind." —Steve Martin
"An irresistibly funny storyteller, [Dyer] is adept at fiction, essay, and reportage, but happiest when twisting all three into something entirely his own." —The New Yorker
"Utterly unclassifiable. If Hunter S. Thompson, Roland Barthes, Paul Theroux and Sylvia Plath all went on holiday together in the same body, perhaps they could come up with something like it. This is the funniest book I have read for a very long time." —William Shawcross, Independent on Sunday

Bbns94 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 73 diseños de 19 diseñadores freelance.
BS Ranch & Farm Inc.
We are a family owned and operated business. We take in organic waste such as wood. We recycle it and make Soil. Eventually we would like to do other things such as tire and plastic recycling. We would love to see no landfills eventually! My husband has a very strong drive and big dream to make this happen!
We want to target the market for waste but we are very family oriented and big hearted and do this for reasons to make things better and we want our logo to represent that.
Me and my husband both have the BS initials. Our little thing has always been BS BS inside a heart. We would like to incorporate that somehow. Thought maybe with the BS kinda overlapping each other inside a heart. That way it has the 2 BS's but really can be looked at as one with a shadow since our mane only has one BS (I hope that makes sense)Then the Ranch & Farm on the outside of the heart. I would like dirt/soil somehow incorporated in it.
I hope this is helpful for what I am looking for. I am very open to all kinds of your ideas! Basically I want the sentiment of the BS BS heart but for it to be incorporated into what we do which is essentially make dirt :)
I am open to the colors and the font I would like something not too fancy or too childlike kinda with a ranch feel like BaaBookHmBold or Bookman old style.
thanks :)

Dav Pilkey is the creator of the New York Times bestselling kids' series, Captain Underpants. Recently, he took a little time away from his Captainly duties to answer a few questions for ParentLife readers:
T&TO: What should every parent know about Captain Underpants?
Pilkey: I purposely designed each [Captain Underpants] book so they would not only be fun to read, they'd be easy to read. Each story has short chapters and pictures on every page, but the humor is aimed squarely at third and fourth graders (and above). My goal was to present kids with a series that would give even the most reluctant readers a feeling of success.
T&TO: What makes writing Captain Underpants worthwhile for you?
Pilkey: I feel very motivated by all of the positive feedback I get from parents and teachers and librarians. They tell similar stories, always about a kid who refused to read until they were introduced to Captain Underpants—then everything changed…I just heard from a grandmother the other day who had to yell at her granddaughter to STOP reading (apparently it was way past her bedtime, and she was under the covers with a flashlight).
T&TO: According to ALA, Captain Underpants books are among the "most-challenged" books by parents and librarians. Why?
Pilkey: The reason the Captain Underpants books have been challenged by a small handful of "concerned grown-ups" is usually because of the humor. These books do tend to involve villainous toilets and booger monsters and things like that. Of course, that's part of the appeal for most kids, but I understand that there are some grown-ups out there who are not amused by such things.
One angry lady in California complained to her local newspaper that certain characters in my books had engaged in name-calling and had "no moral value." Oddly, she was referring to the villains. I remember thinking, "Aren't bad guys supposed to behave badly?"
I actually think kids are smart enough to get the point of these silly books of mine. They realize that the bad guys are evil and the heroes are loyal, brave, and good-hearted. Kids totally get it, and fortunately most adults do too.
T&TO: Any last thoughts for our readers?
Pilkey: Every month I get hundreds of original hand-drawn comic book adventures written and illustrated by kids all over the world. Just last week I got two 16-page full color comics written and illustrated by a twelve-year-old from Australia. Earlier this year, I got some comics from a kid in Thailand. I couldn't read them, but the illustrations were beautiful.
The amazing thing to me is that these comic books aren't assignments. Nobody forced those kids to make an original comic book. These are things that kids have decided to do on their own—for fun!
It's going to be exciting to see what happens when these kids grow up!

LG is selling a $10,000 OLED TV—brighter, more vivid, and skinnier—that you'll drool at online and not be able to afford. Now Samsung is also officially in the TV You Can't Ever Afford game too with the 55-inch F9500.
There's no word on how expensive this expensive thing will be, or when you'll be able to buy this expensive thing, but dig this: you can view two different images on the same screen via 3D glasses. So, maybe that's worth $XX,XXX.

Barack Obama's decisive victory over Mitt Romney in the presidential elections has cemented the future path of monetary policy under Ben Bernanke. After unveiling a fourth round of long-term asset purchases, or quantitative easing, and a new threshold-based guidance, the Federal Reserve has put itself on a path of unlimited purchases of Treasuries and residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) until the unemployment rate falls. The FOMC's natural rotation will only strengthen the Chairman's control of the committee, while an Obama Presidency and a Democratic Senate guarantee a continuation of current policies, either under Bernanke or Vice Chair Janet Yellen.
Thus, interest rates will remain repressed through 2013, the U.S. dollar should depreciate moderately, and stock markets will continue to receive masses of liquidity.
Bernanke and several of his central bank colleagues around the world have unleashed a new era of monetary policy, marked by zero-bound nominal interest rates coupled with unprecedented and massive balance sheet expansion. In this post-financial crisis world, the Fed has taken a Keynesian edict and turned it on its head: instead of the government stepping in after a crisis to make up for the loss of aggregate demand from the private sector, it has fallen to central banks.
Through that process, the Federal Reserve has become the most important market participant, flooding markets with liquidity and owning more than a third of the Treasury market by the end of next year, according to Barclays' economics team. The latest iteration of their asset purchases, or QE4, consists of $40 billion a month in RMBS purchases and $45 billion in unsterilized Treasury purchases, meaning the Fed's balance sheet will grow at a rate of $85 billion until the Fed sees a substantial improvement in labor markets.
The Fed is set to turn even more bullish in 2013, as its natural rotation sees two centrists and Jeffery Lacker, head of the Richmond Fed and a lone dissenter in the FOMC, replaced. In their place will come Esther George of the Kansas City Fed (a moderate hawk, which means she's mildly opposed to more accommodation) and James Bullard of the St. Louis Fed (who has the potential to be a dissenter, according to Barclays), along with ultra-doves Charles Evans and Eric Rosengren. Furthermore, Minneapolis Fed chief Narayana Kocherlakota, a former dissenter, has quietly moved to a more dovish stance, adding further support for the Chairman.
One can't blame Bernanke for trying to spark growth in an economy that has struggled to get off the ground since the 2008 financial implosion. A divided government has created artificial threats like the fiscal cliff, while the fear of fiscal unsustainability has increased calls for austerity. After interest rates fell to zero, Bernanke and the FOMC pushed down longer-term rates through asset purchases. Flattening the yield curve, the Fed has sought to ease credit conditions. The intention is to help homeowners re-finance mortgages at lower rates, allow consumers cheaper financing to buy cars, and give firms favorable borrowing rates.
Bernanke's low rates have effectively "helped housing and the auto industry," according to Raymond James' chief economist Scott Brown. Automakers like General Motors and Ford have seen sales recover, while homebuilders like KB Home and Lennar have been on a tear this year. But the Fed's ultra-accommodative stance has been "a mixed bag for banks." Major names like JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo have access to cheap money, but their lending margins end up being squeezed by a narrower spread between long- and short-term rates.
Detractors of the Fed have argued it has distorted market action. And indeed it has, interest rates have been at record lows for years, with yields on 10-year Treasuries hovering near all-time lows. The issue of the Fed's exit strategy has been raised on several occasions, as observers note a balance sheet approximating $4 trillion (if asset purchases continue through all of 2013) has to be unwound at some point. Goldman Sachs' research team estimates that economic growth will pick up in the second half of 2013, sparking a "gradual but steady rise in bond yields" that takes real rates on 10-year Treasuries to 2.2% by the end of 2016 and 3.75% by 2016.
The Fed's current strategy consists of both zero-bound rates and asset purchases. In their latest FOMC meeting, the committee agreed to set numerical thresholds for rate hikes, which are necessary but not sufficient conditions: the unemployment rate must fall to 6.5% or below, and the one-to-two year inflation projection should be at or below 2.5%. The Federal Reserve expects joblessness to fall to those levels by mid-2015; Barclays estimates unemployment to hit 7.5% by mid-year and 7% in the fourth quarter of 2013. They also expect the Fed to end its Treasury purchases by July, completing its RMBS program in December.
Bernanke's term is set to expire in early 2014, and there's speculation he may step down. The public opinion is divided; a report by Andrew Ross Sorkin indicated the Chairman isn't too sure about a third term, while Raymond James' Brown believes the Bernanke will stay around to finish the job. If he doesn't stay on board, Vice Chair Yellen is expected to take the helm, Barclays' team suggests, as the political balance will remain unchanged until the mid-term elections of late-2014.
The Fed has been one of the main players in global markets over the past few years. Since the financial crisis, Bernanke has taken a proactive role, first to avert a global meltdown and then to support a frail economic recovery. He's won himself much praise, and as much criticism, but has held steady. Many questioned whether the Fed had the firepower. Bernanke always claimed he did, and he's clearly put his money where his mouth is. The real question now is, will it finally work?

25 Things You Didn't Know About The 2011 Yankees
Now that the regular season has concluded, it is time to look back at some of the awesome, ridiculous, and crazy moments of the 2011 season. Every year I enjoy Jeff Passan's column on the '25 things you don't know about baseball,' and I thought it was only fitting to do a similar column for the Yankees.
I'm a college student, so here's what I did: I bought a cup of coffee, walked to the library with my laptop, and went into baseball-nerd mode for a few hours. I doubt most people would voluntarily spend a Thursday afternoon researching baseball stats, but I like math, I like numbers, and I like baseball, so I really enjoyed the few hours I spent writing this.
Much of the research I did is sabermetrics-focused, so if you don't like sabermetrics or don't know much about it, I highly recommend the River Avenue Blues Guide to Stats.
Before we get started, here are a few notes:
– This is a long post. But I'll do my best to keep you entertained along the way.
– I used Baseball Reference's version of WAR. I don't really have a preference between B-Ref and Fangraphs, but I had to choose one.
– I did a similar post for the 2010 Yankees. You can read it here.
– Shameless plug: follow me on Twitter here.
Alright, here we go:
1. The Yankees had a team ERA of 3.73. It was their lowest since 1985.
Yup. Lower than 1996. And 1998. And 2003.
Much of this has to do with an offensive environment that has drastically slowed down, but I think a lot of the credit has to go to Larry Rothschild and the job he has done with guys like Ivan Nova and David Robertson. Also Cashman should get major props for signing Luis Ayala and Cory Wade, both of whom had ERA's in the low 2's.
2. Curtis Granderson was excellent hitting fastballs this year. Eduardo Nunez, not so much.
One of the things I love about Fangraphs is that they calculate Pitch Type Values, which assigns a run value for hitters against specific pitches. Here were the best hitters for each pitch:
Fastball: Curtis Granderson, 30.3 runs
Slider: Robinson Cano, 6.2 runs
Cutter: Robinson Cano, 3.8 runs
Curveball: Derek Jeter, 4.7 runs
Changeup: Curtis Granderson, 5.0 runs
Knuckleball: Jeter/Posada, 1.5 runs
And here were the worst hitters for each pitch:
Fastball: Eduardo Nunez, -9.8 runs
Slider: Eric Chavez, -3.6 runs
Cutter: Alex Rodriguez, -3.8 runs
Curveball: Eric Chavez, -3.1 runs
Changeup: Jorge Posada, -6.8 runs
Knuckleball: Curtis Granderson, -2.6 runs
3. The most effective pitch in 2011 was CC Sabathia's slider.
Fangraphs also calculates Pitch Type Values in terms of run saved for pitchers. Sabathia's slider saved 18.2 runs. Here is how the Yankees stacked up for other some pitches:
Fastball: David Robertson, 16.3 runs saved
Slider: CC Sabathia, 18.2 runs saved
Cutter: Mariano Rivera, 14.3 runs saved
Curveball: A.J. Burnett, 13.2 runs saved
Changeup: Luis Ayala, 3.7 runs saved
And here are the least runs saved for each pitch (excluding the fastball, which I'll get to later):
Slider: Bartolo Colon, -7.3 runs saved
Cutter: Phil Hughes, -4.8 runs saved
Curveball: Phil Hughes, -4.6 runs saved
Changeup: Bartolo Colon, -3.9 runs saved
4. A.J. Burnett's fastball was awful.
I mean, like, historically awful. Burnett's fastball registered a staggering -31.4 runs saved. It was by far the worst in baseball; second-worst was Pavano's fastball (-24.5 runs saved), followed by Bronson Arroyo (-20.8), Chris Volstad (-20.0), and Jeff Francis (-18.2).
After I found this out, I went back to see how often pitchers have a fastball that was that is worse than Burnett's. And guess what? It's never happened.
Well ok, that's probably not true. Someone has most likely, at some point, posted lower than -31.4 runs saved, but the Fangraphs Pitch Type Value data only goes back to 2002. And in that time, A.J. Burnett's 2011 fastball was the worst. Pretty amazing.
5. Brett Gardner led baseball in dWAR…by a lot.
The advanced stats love Brett Gardner. His dWAR was a staggering 3.2, by far the highest in baseball (the second-highest was Carlos Lee's 2.1, what?).
How rare is a dWAR of 3.2? It was the 13th highest EVER in the history of baseball and also the highest ever a Yankee. Only Barry Bonds has had a higher single-season dWAR in left field (3.9 in 1989).
6. Derek Jeter, from July 9th through August 25th: .373/.427/.491
This really came out of nowhere. On June 13th, when Jeter went on the D.L., he was hitting .260 – and after struggling for most of 2010, it seemed clear that he was done as a productive hitter. But once he returned from the D.L. and collected his 3,000th hit, Jeter had one of the best stretches of his career. All things considered, it is amazing that he finished the season with a .297 average and a .355 OBP.
7. Derek Jeter's on-base percentage was higher than Robinson Cano's.
Even though Cano led the team with a .302 average, his .349 OBP was lower than Jeter's.
Yeah, I didn't see that coming.
8. Speaking of OBP, Nick Swisher led the team with a .374 clip.
Swisher led the team with 95 walks, and from May 29th through the end of the season, he was one of the best hitters on the team: .285/.397/.519.
Here's an amazing stat: Nick Swisher's OBP over the last three years has been higher than Mark Teixeira's (.368 vs. .363).
9. When Curtis Granderson got on base, he scored a run 54.4% of the time.
How ridiculous is that? Let's compare that percentage to some other prolific run-scorers in baseball this year:
Granderson: 54.4%
Ian Kinsler: 47.4%
Jacoby Ellsbury: 43.6%
Matt Kemp: 41.8%
Miguel Cabrera: 36.0%
The major league average is about 32.5%. Not surprisingly, Jorge Posada was well below that.
10. The Yankees had five players (Sabathia, Burnett, Nova, Colon, Garcia) with over 25 starts. The last time that happened was 1999.
The five in 1999 were El Duque, David Cone, Andy Pettitte, Roger Clemens, and Hideki Irabu. The difference was that three of those five (Pettitte, Clemens, Irabu) had ERA's over 4.60. Only one this year (Burnett, of course) had an ERA over 4.
11. At age 41, Mariano Rivera was as good as ever.
Ok, this goes without saying. But the numbers are still remarkable: in 2011, Rivera posted his fifth-lowest WHIP, his fourth-most saves, his second-fewest walks, and his second-highest strikeout-to-walk ratio (a ridiculous 7.5).
Oh, here's another amazing stat: 2011 was Rivera's ELEVENTH season with an ERA under 2. And he also posted the lowest ERA (1.91) for any American League closer (only one National League closer, Joel Hanrahan, had a lower ERA). In fact, since 2003, Rivera has posted an ERA over 2 just once (2007). Absurd.
12. Mariano Rivera was otherworldly after August 15th
On August 11th, Mariano Rivera was coming off a stretch where he had allowed runs in three consecutive appearances, including a blown save to the Red Sox on August 7th and a ninth-inning loss to the Angels on August 9th. But from August 15th until the end of the season, he reminded everyone that he is still the best closer in baseball. Here is how he finished the season:
17 appearances, 16.1 innings, 14 saves, 3 walks, 21 strikeouts, 0.55 ERA
Even more ridiculous, this was the slash line of opposing hitters: .130/.148/.203
Oh, and he also set the all-time saves record.
13. As great as Rivera was, David Robertson might have had a more dominant stretch of pitching.
David Robertson had an unbelievably dominant season. The numbers speak for themselves: 70 games, 34 holds, 66.2 innings, 40 hits allowed, 100 strikeouts, and a 1.08 ERA. He gave up one home run.
'Houdini' made a name for himself by constantly getting out of jams and rarely giving up big hits. Robertson was already having an excellent season on July 26th, with a 1.57 ERA, but he kicked it up a notch from then on.
D-Rob, 7/26 thru the end of the season: 26.2 innings, 11 hits, ONE RUN ALLOWED (a home run to J.J. Hardy), 9 walks, 37 strikeouts. That's a 0.34 ERA if you're keeping score at home.
14. Speaking of David Robertson, he posted the highest WAR (3.9) by a Yankee relief pitcher* since Tom Gordon (4.0) in 2004.
*We'll exclude Mariano Rivera.
Thanks to Joe Torre, Gordon also had the luxury of pitching in 23 more innings than Robertson. Before Gordon, the last Yankee reliever with a WAR over 3.9 was Goose Gossage in 1982.
Also, here's an amazing stat- in 1990, when the Yankees went 67-95, the team had NO pitchers (and just two hitters) with a WAR over 1.5. The team's best pitcher that year was Tim Leary, who went 9-19 with a 4.11 ERA.
For those wondering, this year's team had six pitchers (and six hitters) and with a WAR over 1.5.
15. Of all the stats that speak to Robertson's dominance, here's one that really stands out: with a 1.08 ERA, he still allowed a .291 BABIP. That's higher than Ivan Nova, Luis Ayala, and nearly identical to A.J. Burnett.
I went back to take a look at opposing BABIP's for famously-low ERA seasons – Robertson's ridiculous 13.5 strikeouts per nine innings easily make him an outlier:
Dennis Eckersley, 1990: .213
Bob Gibson, 1968: .234
Pedro Martinez, 2000: .237
Mariano Rivera, 2005: .238
Eric Gagne, 2003: .250
David Robertson, 2011: .291
Basically Robertson struck out so many hitters that it offset his league-average BABIP.
16. Wait, I have a few left over stats on David Robertson.
– With runners in scoring position, hitters hit .140 (13-for-93) with 47 strikeouts
– With the bases loaded, hitters were 1-for-19 with 14 strikeouts
– Left-handed hitters against Robertson: 122 at bats, 19 hits, 58 strikeouts
– In high leverage situations, Robertson's opposing slash line was .126/.236/.171 (127 plate appearances).
I think he'll get a few Cy Young votes.
17. Curtis Granderson led the league in RBI's and runs. That doesn't happen very often.
As Joe Posnanski pointed out on Monday, the RBI/runs combination has only happened eight times in the American League the last 50 years. Twice it was done by a Yankee:
A-Rod, 2007
Ken Griffey Jr., 1997
Albert Belle, 1995
Don Baylor, 1979
Reggie Jackson, 1973
Carl Yastrzemski, 1967
Frank Robinson, 1966
Roger Maris, 1961
Six of those eight won the MVP. I suspect Granderson won't win the MVP this year,* probably for three reasons: 1) he hit .262, 2) so many others are having MVP seasons in the A.L., and 3) the writers are continuing to put less emphasis on conventional stats like RBI's and more emphasis on advanced stats.
*I obviously don't have a vote for MVP and Cy Young this year, but if I did, here would be my ballot:
A.L. MVP: Verlander
A.L. Cy Young: Verlander
N.L. MVP: Braun
N.L. Cy Young: Kershaw
Feel free to agree or disagree as you please.
18. Granderson also set the all-time Yankee record for single-season strikeouts.
As good as Granderson was in 2011, he struck out once every 3.4 at bats, and his 169 strikeouts are an all time Yankee record. I'll give him a pass because the guy was so good otherwise.
19. The Yankees made 33 more errors in 2011 than they did in 2010.
But here is where advanced stats can show a deeper truth. We've learned that errors aren't everything – in fact, they're mostly at the discretion of the official scorer. So if you go by errors, then yeah, the Yankees were worse in 2011.
But if you look at UZR, the Yankees were actually better, despite making 33 more errors.
Oh, and just to bring back some good memories, their UZR in 2005 was -138.1.
20. Brett Gardner had 588 plate appearances. He swung at the first pitch 34 times.
And he actually faired pretty well those 34 times: he hit .382/.485/.559.
But basically, if you're a pitcher, there's no reason not to throw Brett Gardner a first-pitch strike.
Gardner, after a 1-0 count: .300/.419/.430
Garnder, after an 0-1 count: .203/.258/.285
21. Brett Gardner's 49 steals were the most by a Yankee since 1989.
Gardner stole 47 bases last year, which was the most ever in my lifetime. This year he stole two more (despite being caught four more times) to lead the league. The last Yankee with more than 49 SB's in a season was Rickey Henderson, who stole a ridiculous 93 bases in 1989.
22. From August 3rd through September 5th, the Yankees had a team ERA of 4.69.
And yet they still managed to go 20-11 over this stretch.
Why did they fare so well with poor pitching? The offense was unbelievable: as a team, they hit .286/.369/.500.
Yes, the team slugged .500 over a full month of the season. I doubt that happens very often.
23. CC Sabathia won at least 19 games for the third straight year. And his 6.9 WAR was the highest by a Yankee pitcher in 14 years.
Here are the highest WAR's by a Yankee pitcher since 1998:
1) CC Sabathia, 2011: 6.9
2) Mike Mussina, 2001: 6.5
3) Mike Mussina, 2003: 6.2
4) CC Sabathia, 2010: 5.5
5) Roger Clemens, 2001: 5.4
The last Yankee with a higher WAR was Andy Pettitte in 1997.
It really can't be overstated how great Sabathia was this year: 33 starts, 237 innings, 230 strikeouts, a 3.00 ERA. He was every bit the horse the Yankees needed him to be.
24. Jesus Montero became the fifth Yankee ever to hit four or more home runs in his first 15 games.
The other four: Shelley Duncan, Steve Whitaker, Oscar Azocar, and Kevin Maas.
Let's hope Montero's career ends up better than these guys (though Shelley Duncan is still going strong!)
25. Mariano Rivera's career postseason WPA is 11.62.
This isn't really a stat about the 2011 season, but I thought it was a good way to wrap up the post.
I read this stat a few days ago over at Beyond the Box Score, and what really stands out is how far in front of everyone else Rivera is. Here are the top postseason WPA's ever:
Rivera: 11.62
Schilling: 3.57
Smoltz: 3.11
Pettitte: 3.06
Ruth: 3.00
Let's just hope that Rivera will continue to build on his WPA lead this October.
Phew. We're done! Thanks for reading, and if you have anything you'd like to add feel free to comment below.

Liberal leadership hopeful Marc Garneau is proposing to make it easier for students to shoulder record debt loads after they graduate.
The Montreal MP would do away with the current requirement that post-secondary students begin paying off their student loans six months after graduation, whether or not they've found a job.
He would give them an indefinite grace period, requiring graduates to start repaying loans only after they've found a good-paying job of about $40,000 per year.
Garneau, who is touting himself as the most substantive of nine leadership contenders, is to unveil his latest policy proposal Monday.
An engineer and former astronaut with impressive academic credentials, he has made building a more diversified "knowledge economy" one of the cornerstones of his campaign.
He maintains that giving young people more opportunity to succeed is key to Canada's future economic competitiveness.
His campaign says the latest proposal is aimed at alleviating the "double whammy" facing young Canadians, who often find it hard to find a good job after graduating with staggering debts that they must begin paying off almost immediately.
At 15 per cent, the rate of youth unemployment is almost double the national average.
Garneau has already proposed eliminating payroll taxes for employers who hire young workers.
