Surprise winner says God has a purpose for him
More photos Hide photos
"I feel like God is preparing me for something," Schaumburg Realtor Tony Wiszowaty said after his surprise, come-from-behind victory in the Fittest Losers Challenge. "I don't know what that will be but there's something that I've gotten my body ready for."
The 69-year-old Marine Corps veteran jogged up to the podium when he was introduced during the finale reception. After being announced as the winner, he pumped his fists in the air and pointed to the sky, thanking the Lord.
"I'll be retiring soon," he said. "This is the heaviest I've been in my life and I didn't want to be one of those guys who retires and that's it. They have a heart attack."
Just a week before that finale, it looked like rival Russell Page held an insurmountable lead in the weight-loss contest. But Wiszowaty remembered how he and his son kept repeating to each other: "When do you quit? NEVER!"
So he put in a frenetic final week that included a final day of walking or running 19 miles plus swimming and working out. Wiszowaty lost 13 pounds in just that last week, for a total loss of 55 pounds, or 22.3 percent of his original weight.
One thing that drove Wiszowaty to such efforts was the same one that motivated him to join the high school debate and swimming teams, become president of his fraternity and his college student body, and join the toughest armed service, the Marines. When he was in third grade, a teacher told his parents that he was "mentally retarded" and would never amount to much. Ever since, whenever he has accomplished some new goal, he has said to himself, "… up your retarded butt!"
Another thing that motivated him to enter the contest was visiting the family of his daugher, who works in a mission in the mountains of Ecuador. The thin air at the 9,000-foot altitude left him breathless -- and wishing he could play harder with his five grandchildren.
Dr. Anthony Auriemma of Amita Health noted that "within three weeks of starting the challenge, (Wiszowaty) was able to come off of three medications for blood pressure."
Wiszowaty said he will continue to work out at Push Fitness in Schaumburg, where the Fittest Loser contestants trained and got their eating advice.
"I have belonged to clubs in the past but never got this kind of results," he said.
"Having worked so hard to lose weight and get in shape, I am not about to go back to my old ways. My health is one of the most valuable things I have, together with my faith and my family.
"After the challenge, I ate some foods that were off my Push Fitness diet and I didn't like the way I felt afterwards. No more soda, no more fast food, only healthy fresh fruits and veggies and lean protein. No more canned or boxed foods. This was my second chance in life and now I know what to do with it. I will not squander this blessing."
In addition to the fitness and dieting advice, Wiszowaty said he gained knowledge about himself.
"I can't begin to tell you all the lessons I learned and relearned by completing this challenge," he said. "Like whatever you put your mind to you can accomplish. Like the power of believing in yourself, in the system, in the coaching. The power of prayer, the power of visualization. If are working on something that you really care about, you don't have to be pushed, the vision pulls you. These lessons apply to everything we do in life.
"I will be retiring at the end of June. I can't wait to see what challenges I will take on when I retire. I don't know what it will be, but it will be BIG."
With Wiszowaty the oldest contestant at age 69, "that proves it's never too late for anybody," Auriemma said. "And you don't have to be as drastic as these people. You can take baby steps. It can be as simple as eating an apple instead of (drinking) a can of pop."

text: Hi all, Any help would be much appreciated at the moment it giving me a bit of a headache, I just don't know what I need that will work. I really don't want to buy something to find it won't work with my setup. I need to be able to VPN into my work place using Greenbow on a machine at home. I originally could VPN in to work using Greenbow(At Home) and a Linksys WAG54G (At Work), but I had problems with that router it got very warm and kept dropping the connection and then it finally gave up the ghost. I now see that the WAG54G has been discontinued. So what would be the best Wireless ADSL broadband router to buy for the office, to enable VPN from Greenbow. I have looked at the WAG35G but I believe from what I have read that it does not support endpoint tunnelling, which if I understand it correctly would not work in my configuration. What I don't want to do is buy another router for home, as using just Greenbow gives me the flexibility to log on to work from various locations. Thanks in advance Martin

Family gatherings have always been important to Tommy and me. Our parents were fortunate that all of their children chose to live in Texas after they married and started their own families. Until my mother went into an assisted living facility she always had Thanksgiving at her home in San Antonio. We had as many as 38 people sit down to dinner in her home. We spent every Christmas Eve with my mother and Christmas Day was spent at Tommy's parents' home with his sister and family. It was a family tradition.
We try to get our children and their families together at Christmas time at least for a few days. Most years, like the last two, we have had everyone in our home together for our family Christmas. We play card games, look at old family photos, have traditional turkey dinner lunch, tamales and chili another night, put together the Christmas toys, play baseball in the backyard, reminisce about years gone by, etc. These are my happiest days all year-long. Last year was especially exciting with the anticipation of a new baby in the family. Troy and Michelle were expecting their first child in late May 2015. Ashton was our last baby, and he was soon to be 7 years old. So we were all ready for another baby.
Troy and Michelle live in Long Beach, California, so we had to rely on pictures, texts and emails letting us know about their baby to come. We started a group text with our family members when Troy was ready to take Michelle to the hospital on her due date.
We all waited for any kind of word or any pictures of Baby T. It was difficult not to be there as Tommy and I have been present at the birth of all of our other five grandchildren. Finally the word came that Michelle had delivered an 8 lb. 4 oz., 20″ long baby boy on June 1. She is only 5 feet tall so this was a big baby for her to carry and deliver.
Soon more pictures started coming in. We all wished we could actually be there in California and share in the joy of Troy's first-born. He's 40 years old so he's waited a long time to hold a son in his arms. Thank you, Michelle.
It seemed like an impossibility for me to travel to California at this time as I was in my second cycle of chemo treatment for MDS. I was taking chemo by tablet, but under the supervision of hospital staff. I thought I'd have to be at MD Anderson for six days straight as I had been for the first cycle. Surprisingly, on day 3 I found out that the last three days of the cycle I could take the tablets on my own. I was free from the hospital Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I started scheming. Holly, our daughter, said to count her in. So Tommy made hotel reservations and Holly flight reservations so we could fly to LA on Saturday morning, June 6, and get back home again at midnight on Monday, June 8. It was our little window of time. It wasn't much time, but we wanted to be with our son, Michelle and Baby.
We thought we'd get to see the little family at their home in Long Beach, but then learned the baby wasn't going to be released from the hospital for 5 days. Michelle had a fever during labor and as a precaution, they wanted to keep the baby in the hospital and give him antibiotics. He wouldn't come home from the hospital until the day we were leaving. Troy asked us to please come out any way. So we did. How could we not see this little guy as a new-born?
T. was in ICU so only one of us could go in to see him at a time with either Troy or Michelle. Troy took me in first. I held him for an hour taking in all his precious features. Life was so good. Such happiness and love overwhelmed me. I wanted to take that feeling back to Texas with me. Our time with him was so short.
We set-up our own little area in the waiting room near a wall of windows anxiously waiting for the next chance to see and hold the baby. We played cards, read, talked, ate, walked around one at a time, etc. We didn't want to miss any opportunity to have our turn with Baby T.
Over those two days we each got a couple of turns to hold the baby.
Our third and last day to be in California was the day T. was to go home. As the time went by, we didn't think we would be able to see Troy and Michelle take their baby home. We had to be at the airport at 6:00 that evening. As we waited in the waiting room, Michelle and Troy did what was necessary to get their baby checked out of the hospital. It was 3:30. We'd just have a little bit of time to be with them at their home. It was an exciting time bringing baby home, and we were there.
Michelle and Troy could hold their baby without any monitors or IV's attached. Michelle was so happy to have her baby home. Sweet Mommy and baby.
Shortly after we got home, Michelle's mom and dad and brothers, sister-in-laws and nephews arrived. It was a busy welcome home for T.
I held T. until the last possible second. With tears and good-byes, I had to hand him off to Michelle's mom. I will hold his precious face and gentle soul in my heart until we meet again.
We hope they will come to our home in Houston for Christmas 2015. Then we will have 14 Murrah family. Oh, happiest of days for Grammy and Granddaddy.

Former Perrier nominee with a comedy campaign
- Julian Hall
- 1 August 2007
This article is from 2007.
Last year, US comic Doug Stanhope told The List how he was going to stand for the Libertarian Party in the 2008 Presidential Election. That was before practical considerations such as making a living while campaigning got in the way. This year Massachusetts-based comic Jimmy Tingle brings his self-explanatory road show Jimmy Tingle for President into town. 'Unlike all the other American Presidential candidates, I have decided to start my campaign in Scotland. That's just one of the things that sets me apart from my distinguished colleagues,' quips the 52-year-old comedian and 60 Minutes commentator.
Tingle has good reason to consider Edinburgh worthy of a presidential bid as he was nominated for a Perrier award in 1990: surely a good omen. In fact, so keen is he on his return that he is also bringing another stand-up show, Jimmy Tingle's American Dream. 'I had a lot of fun here in the 90s and I really look forward to performing two different shows a day. It is something I always wanted to try and this will be a great way to do it.' Let's just hope that his audiences are happy to vote with their feet. Twice.
Jimmy Tingle for President, Assembly @ Hill Street Theatre, 623 3030, 5–27 Aug (not 13), 1.40pm, £10.50–£11.50 (£9–£10). Previews 3 & 4 Aug, £5; Jimmy Tingle's American Dream, Assembly @ George Street, 623 3030, 5–27 Aug (not 13, 20), 10pm, £10.50–£11.50 (£9–£10). Previews 2–4 Aug, £5.

So, remember last week when I said
Classic Rock (No Ballads) week (did they really drop the "classic" and the "no ballads" from the theme just for Angie and Amber's benefit? NEEERD RAAAAAGE!) would either be incredible or incredibly frustrating? Yeeeeah, it was the later. I don't understand, it's like the Idol finalists aren't even taking time to read my blog… If they had, they would've had so many great, fresh suggestions at their disposal. Instead, they go with 10 songs which, collectively, have already been sung a total of 22 times prior to this evening on the Idol stage. Yes, I did the math, and yes, I know I'm showing my nerdface colors. I don't care. Janis Joplin is one of my personal favorite artists and greatest musical inspirations, but Piece of my Heart needs to be taken out back and shot post-haste before it has to endure one more stupid Idol cover. Same goes for Queen and Crazy Little Thing Called Love, and Heart and What About Love. There are SO many great classic rock songs in the world, whyyyy do we need to flog the same ones over and over and over again?? Idol is trying to make all these changes to stay current, but their continual refusal to update their song list (because as much as I love to rag on the contestants for song selection, you know this issue is bigger than them) is making this show stale and boring. These contestants deserve better, Idol, PLEASE DO BETTER!
Though having said that, I have to again raise this question: we already know – and several of the already-offed contestants this season and other seasons have attested – that TPTB offer contestants a tiny, limiting list of songs to choose from, often give first pick of the most desirable songs to their own favorites, and even go so far as to push contestants to pick specific songs. But are we just going to accept that as an excuse from these contestants? I don't underestimate how formidable the Idol machine must seem when you're in the very heart of it, but I somehow doubt that it's IMPOSSIBLE to fight it, especially knowing that contestants in previous seasons have somehow managed to do so. Thus I'm left to assume instead that the season 12 hopefuls lack either the inspiration to come up with their own out-of-the-box ideas, or the conviction to fight for those ideas. And even if we want to give them the benefit of the doubt and say it's not a matter of ignorance, I'm sorry, if they're too meek to stand up to the Idol machine, the MUSIC INDUSTRY is going to eat them ALIVE. In the real world of music, everyone is going to try and tell you what to do and what to be, and the only way you're going to survive is by UNDERSTANDING what's happening around you, and really, really knowing who you are and what you're trying to do within that structure. So no, I won't let the contestants off the hook for these bad song and performance choices just because the show is pushing them in that direction. I don't care how overwhelming this experience is, how young and inexperienced you are, how tired you are, you do not accept what they put in front of you. You do not take the lazy, risk-free, predictable route. You do not try to emulate those that have come before you. You come prepared and you do your damn homework so that when the time comes you can advocate for yourself, for your voice, for your future career. Your audience deserves better, contestants, PLEASE DO BETTER!
Now to business. I'm not going to bother gnashing my teeth about the fact that Lazaro made America's Top 3 this week, or the much more infuriating failure of Keith, Nicki, Stupidface, Jimmy, AND America (whooda thunk I'd ever say this, but THANK GOD for you, Mariah Carey) to place Candice Fucking Glover in their top 3 (though, WAH-OW!). I have to assume that the judges and Jimmy were giving, as I do each week, their own purely subjective favorite 3, and not the three that are most objectively deserving, based on overall performance caliber. Given that, I can't fault them for not loving my favorite as much as I do, any more than they can fault me for not loving their favorites as much as they do – to each her own, right? What I will say, is that I'm VEEERY grateful that the save is still in play going into this week. I have a long history of my favorites going home in sixth place (see: Elise Testone, Casey Abrams, Siobhan Mothafuckin Magnus, Carly Smithson, Phil Stacey, Kellie Pickler, Christina Christian) and I'm feeling more and more like one of my top 3 are on the way to joining that list. I feel relatively confident that despite their stated top 3s this week, the judges would still do the right thing and use the save if somehow Candice was the one left on the chopping block, but then I would also hope that this week's results would energize her voters to make sure that doesn't happen. I feel less confident that they would do the same for Janelle, especially since Kree is so clearly this season's Chosen One. And I don't know who is still voting for Lazaro, but I hope now that we're into 2-songs-a-week territory they'll finally see that the kid is drowning, and the kindest thing they can possibly do is just let the poor thing get the fuck out of the pool and back to dry land.
Hokey dokes! Geez, y'all, sorry, I guess I'm having a rant-y kind of week. Perhaps we should get right to it then, ey? Da girls, arranged by my own, purely subjective preference. (For the record, OBjectively, it goes Candice, Kree, Angie, Amber, Janelle, then – after a vast, seemingly-infinite chasm – Lazaro.) Top 6, as I said earlier, is a double song week, so we'll be getting one song from the Burt Bacharach/Hal David songbook (groan) and one "song you wish you'd written." Last season I quite enjoyed the later category, so I have some high hopes. Bacharach/David on the other hand… okay, here's what we're going to do, for funsies: instead of suggesting a B/D song, I'm going to predict which song they're going to pick, and since I can't guess what song the contestants wish they'd written, I'm just going to suggest contemporary songs that I think match the direction they're going in. Good? Good. Let's get started:
5: Angie Miller
Okay, this was a vaaaast improvement over last week for Angie in terms of vocal and performance caliber, but y'all know I cannot let the girl get away with this song choice, right? The theme was Classic Rock (No Ballads), and this was neither Classic nor Not a Ballad. Ang, baby, I know the uptempo thing bit you in the ass last week, but that doesn't give you special permission to completely disregard the theme. David Cook not only survived but THRIVED through nearly consecutive Dolly Parton, Mariah Carey, and Andrew Lloyd Webber weeks, and you're telling me that you – an indie rock singer – couldn't manage to find a single song within the entire genre of classic rock to work with? Bitch, please. Sure, you could argue that Angie was showing just the conviction I called for earlier in fighting for something out of the box, but to me it came off more like an example of that ignorance I was talking about. This is the game, people. They give you these themes, and they're not all going to be in your wheelhouse, but because you're an ARTIST, you know that music is music, and with just a whiff of imagination you can finagle it to fit into your wheelhouse.
This is the issue we keep running into, you and me, Angie. As I said earlier, OBjectively, I can't argue that you're not among the top 2 or 3 vocalists in this whole thing, I love your voice, I love your style, but week after week your naivete and bad instincts – the misinterpreting songs, the ignoring/misunderstanding sound advice, the id-i-otic song choices, and oh yes, don't think I've forgiven you for that time you claimed to sing "AS WELL AS KELLY CLARKSON" – are putting me off such that I just can't get fully behind you. But hey, prove me wrong, kid. You're talented as hell, and I'd honestly love nothing more than for you to turn things around.
Prediction for Bacharach/David: Anyone Who Had a Heart
Song I Wish She Wishes She Wrote: Bright Lights and Cityscapes, by Sara Bareilles
4: Amber Holcolm
Aaaaand again, love me some Heart, love me some Amber, but if you think that a pumped-up rhythm section is enough to convince me that What About Love is NOT a ballad, think again. And okay, Amber gets points over Angie for at least chosing an actual classic rock song, but the lack of originality in this particular choice ALMOST completely negates those points. This song has been DONE and DONE and DONE on the Idol stage, which isn't to say that no one else is allowed to do it, but if you're going to make me listen to it again, give me something new, something I haven't heard already from Erika Van Pelt, Janelle Wheeler, Melissa McGhee, and oh I don't know, Ann and Nancy themselves. This gave me nothing, except that she's a beautiful girl with great legs and a killer voice, but I already knew all that. Look, I actually LIKE Amber a lot – I spend so much time seething about her bad choices I don't know if I've actually communicated that. Even beyond the whole crazy talent thing, she just seems like a classy, poised, professional kid and she's trying so hard, and I love her for all that, but again, she needs to get smarter about this thing. It's time to bring something new to the table. I'm not interested in Amber the karaoke queen or Amber the young Whitney look/sound-alike. I want to know who Amber the 2013 recording artist is, and I don't believe we've seen that yet.
Prediction for Bacharach/David: A House is Not A Home
Song I Wish She Wishes She Wrote: If I Were a Boy, by Beyonce
3: Kree Harrison
There are scarce few situations in which one of my favorite Idol contestants covering one of my personal musical idols would make me mad. This was one of those situations. Janis Joplin is a fascinating musician with, I think, one of the most compelling voices in contemporary music history. Janis was a rock star, but she had crazy soul, so naturally Kree would be drawn to her catalog for classic rock week. The problem is that this happens to be among the most overplayed songs in Idol history, and Kree is smart enough to know that. Janis has soooooo many great songs to chose from, why must it always be this one? The only answer I can think of is laziness. You're better than that, Kree. I expect better from you. And okay, the pinched nerve thing is a legitimate excuse, it is, but Kree is good enough that we don't need to judge her on a curve, right? We're not doing her any favors by going soft on her, because she knows what she did and what she's capable of. So let's be honest and call it what it was – her weakest performance BY FAR to date. And beyond that, like I said for Amber, if you're going to take on a song that's been done to death, you've got to bring something new to it, and this was stale, stale, stale. Not only that but my god, when Janis Joplin sang a song, every word she sang was visceral, you can physically, gutturally feel her angst reaching through the music. Kree's performance was the total opposite of that. She looked like she was trying to have a good time up there – which in itself is wrong because it's not a joyful song – but even her joy felt half-hearted and compulsory. Y'all know how much I love this girl; she's been consistently one of the best things about this season, so I'll just chalk this up to the injury and look forward to better performances in the future.
Prediction for Bacharach/David: Walk On By
Song I Wish She Wishes She Wrote: WHAT'S UP, BY 4 NON BLONDES! HEEEED MEEEEEE!!! Or else Apologies, by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals
2: Janelle Arthur
Janelle Arthur may not have the strongest voice of the season 12 girls, but god dammit if that girl isn't just the most Hufflepuff-iest of them all. She is working so hard, she's making all the right choices, and she has such a fantastic attitude, and this may be an unpopular opinion, but for my money, Janelle's was the best performance this week. First of all, she picked a non-ballad classic rock song (yay for following directions!) that fit her voice like a glove, and as a bonus (and, for the record, for the third time this season) a song that had never before been performed on the Idol stage. She proved herself game by getting into the classic rock spirit, and at the same time completely inhabited the song, even though it was outside of her preferred genre. Again, pitch-perfect it was not, but side-by-side comparison between that and Gone; the last uptempo number she attempted? That was an astonishing improvement. I don't think Janelle is getting anywhere near enough credit for what she's accomplishing week to week and how very far she's come since the start of the live rounds, and it's a damn shame. I see you, Janelle, and thank GOD for you, my little Hufflepuff.
Prediction for Bacharach/David: I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself (oh dear, that sounds terribly like a cheeky insult, doesn't it? Let me assure you it's not that, just a really good Dusty Springfield song….)
Song I Wish She Wishes She Wrote: Long Time Gone, by The Dixie Chicks
1: Candice Fucking Glover
Alright, let's get into this. IN WHAT UNIVERSE IS CANDICE GLOVER NOT TOTALLY KICKING THIS SEASON'S ASS????? Hello? Judges? Jimmy? America? Are we watching the same show? This well might've been Candice's weakest performance to date, that could well be, and that's fucking NUTS because she fucking ROCKED! She was the ONLY contestant this week who actually rocked!! Also, lest we forget, who was it that KILLED that duet with Burnell? Oh and who was it that put the rest of the contestants to shame during Thursday's group performance? Was it CANDICE FUCKING GLOVER? Damn STRAIGHT is was! BELIEVE ME when I say that I don't make threats like this often and I don't make them lightly, but if this girl does not AT LEAST outstay Lazaro Arbos, I am walking. Period.

Athletes on the field and around the sports world had strong reactions to Blair Walsh's missed kick.
The Seattle Seahawks are moving on to the divisional round after a 10–9 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Seattle's win was greatly aided by Vikings kicker Blair Walsh, who missed a potential game-winning field goal with less than 30 seconds to go.
Of course, the big play spurred reactions from people around the sports world. It started with the players on the field, where Vikings players Brian Robison and Adrian Peterson were stunned.

Economy, Higher Oil Prices May Restart Shelved Projects
KUALA LUMPUR (Dow Jones Newswires), Jun. 9, 2009
A rebound in oil prices and signs of economic recovery are renewing interest in exploration and production, but producers are still wary of volatility and determined to cut construction and service costs, which surged last year after oil prices spiked to record levels.
Crude oil prices have risen back above $60 a barrel, from a low of around $42 earlier this year, and are expected to rise further in the next few years as supply fails to keep pace with a global recovery.
Higher prices and lower construction costs have made some shelved projects viable again. Estimated costs for Petro-Canada's (PCZ) delayed Fort Hills oil sands mine have sunk 30% to below C$10 billion, and the company expects to generate a double-digit return with oil prices at $60 a barrel, the company's chief executive Ron Brenneman said in late April.
But a rush back into development could keep costs high and cut the payoff expected from future shortages.
"I think that is bad news...But that's how the world works," said Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSB.LN) Chief Executive Jeroen van der Veer.
The Anglo-Dutch major has one of the biggest capital investment programs in the industry at $31 billion to $32 billion this year, but it is striving to further lower costs through negotiations with its contractors.
High costs prompted it to shelve projects such as the Carmon Creek and the Athabasca oil-sands expansion in Canada; Mars B, an oil project in the Gulf of Mexico; and the Pierce field in the U.K.
Van der Veer said he won't be surprised if the Cambridge Energy Resources Associates index, which measures construction costs in the energy industry, falls to 200 this year.
The CERA index surged to 240 in the third quarter of 2008 from 110 in 2004 as investors rushed in when oil prices peaked at more than $147 a barrel last July.
Looking at Future Needs
If producers can control costs, future capacity constraints could mean bright prospects for those who continue to invest.
Global investment in oil and gas projects is expected to decline this year for the first time in a decade, falling about $100 billion, or 21%, to around $375 billion, the International Energy Agency said.
Since October of last year, a sharp downturn in energy prices and lower global demand has caused more than 50 major oil and natural-gas projects around the world to be cancelled or delayed by at least 18 months, the agency said in a report in May.
French oil major Total SA (TOT) isn't delaying any projects in Asia as it remains confident oil prices will rebound from current levels, and capacity constraints will emerge.
"In five years from now, there won't be enough capacity. We'll definitely continue to invest in all projects," said Jean Marie Guillermou, Total's senior vice president for Asia and the Far East.
"We're confident that in the future (the oil) price will come back to a higher level than it is today. It's reinforcing our long-term strategy, which is to invest now to prepare for the future."
With global oil prices still well off last year's peaks, Total aims to cut its operating costs by 20% this year.
Still Too Early to Invest
However, consultants said it's still too early to start investing again.
"The current oil price is still uncertain and it isn't justified by fundamentals," Fereidun Fesharaki, chairman of FACTS Global Energy, told Dow Jones Newswires.
He expects oil prices to fall to $55 per barrel at the end of this year due to high inventories, with many big projects also nearing completion.
"There are so many people contracted to projects but their jobs are coming to an end," Fesharaki said.
"It would take at least about a year to see companies start investing again," he said.
Shell has indicated it will wait until the economics is right before advancing its oil sands and floating liquefied natural gas projects.
"If I feel that by waiting prices will be lower, I prefer to wait," van der Veer said.
J. Robinson West, Chairman of PFC Energy, said some oil producers are looking to scale service and investment costs back down to the 2006 levels, and "some of them are just going to withhold spending as long as possible to get the costs down."
"Some projects are still being slowed. There's still considerable tension between the service sector and the operators," he said.
Operators are also taking another look at long-term drilling contracts, "but needless to say the drillers are going to resist as much as possible," West said.

The Art of Unexpected EmbroideryBook - 2011
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
This is an interesting book profiling modern embroidery artists. It contains interviews, photographs of their work, and discussions of different trends in this art form.
I am an embroiderer who has stuck to more traditional embroidery, but this book opened my eyes to new ways of thinking about embroidery and got my creative juices flowing. Now I just have to make time for that creativity.
The book offers some project plans and patterns from some of these artists that will inspire and give a starting point to those interested in these new ideas.
This was a very disappointing. and somewhat annoying and pretentious book. All the work in it is the sort that might be fun for the person to stitch but a dud for anyone else to look at. The book is basically people who have never stitched, "discovering" embroidery and coming up with very very basic pieces with very very basic stitches and calling it art. The articles are full of mutual admiration. The book feels like it came out of the Sixties when hippies discovered you could chain-stitch on your jeans.

Robots have been a part of the science fiction world for many years. They have been seen in cartoons such as the Jetsons and have even been featured in fiction books. Within these fictional stories, robots have played in many different roles. Some androids take on the persona of a villain as seen within the movie Terminator. Other movies portray the artificially intelligent beings going through the battle of right and wrong as well as trying to find out who they are, like most humans do, as seen in IRobot. Another android that much of the older generation may be familiar with is Data from Star Trek, who was the only one of his kind that comes close to being human. Now, however, robots are advancing in technology and becoming more than just fictional entities.
Fascination with robots and their artificial intelligence has been one of many subjects of the scientific world. The Jetsons was one of the cartoons that showed a fictional robot character, Rosie, as a house cleaner and nanny. She performed many different chores around the home including cooking, washing clothes, and the overall cleaning of the home. However, Rosie was not just the typical robot. Rosie could carry on in conversation as well as give advice. She was so advanced in her programming that she sometimes thought of herself as a human. Often seen wearing an apron, Rosie would play nanny to the kids whilst Mr. and Mrs. Jetson were out on their private affairs.
Another example of advanced technology in robots that many have drawn inspiration from can be seen in the popular character known as R2-D2 from the Star Wars films. Although this bot does not speak with words as humans do, he is still seen to have the capability to communicate with the Jedi's. He is often seen with Anakin Skywalker in the later releases. R2-D2 is shown to be equipped with engineering knowledge, can open just about any door, and even has an electronic weapon at his disposal. Comparing the sci-fi characters to one another, R2-D2 is shown to possess more enhanced technological systems than Rosie.
Recent reports have shown that real life robots and androids are indeed advancing in their technology. One such report is centered around Pepper, the robot with emotions. The idea that a robot can experience feelings almost seems unreal. Robots are made up of electrical circuitry and have been thought of as emotionless pieces of machinery. Pepper's programming defies these statements by being able to respond to the emotional moods of his user. Part of Pepper's ability to "feel" emotions comes from his facial recognition operating system. However, this robot is not the first of his kind to display this advanced technology.
In Dec. 2007, Toyota created their version of a real life partner bot which took a step in the direction that would function much like Rosie. This robot was displayed in front of a crowd playing the delicate strings of a violin with the song Pomp and Circumstances. This was not the first demonstration from Toyota Motor Corp. Other robots from the company have been seen to tumble around in the role of a guide as well as to have fingers working well enough to play a trumpet.
When it comes to the advancing technology of robots many people have been known to find that the human looking ones are less scary and easier to be around. Humans have a tendency to often interact with beings they can feel safe around. With robots now being able to mimic human behavior this might make it easier for robots to be accepted. As the future draws near it looks as though robots will begin to take their places in the world. Creators of these robots may even aspire to construct artificially intelligent beings that will be much like the made up characters, Rosie and R2-D2.

Spreading his wings
The Brookfield boy, now 16, began taking flying lessons when he was 13. "The test includes three take-offs and three landings and I got it on my first try," Rietschel said.
"Before 9/11, my dad (corporate pilot Paul Rietschel) used to take us up for flights and he would take me to watch the planes at Westchester Airport ," Andrew said. "I was always amazed when I watched airplanes taking off and landing."
His brothers - Kenneth, 24, and Patrick, 20 - were never interested in flying, but Andrew was hooked.
"Andrew is a very determined person and it would have been difficult to get in the way of his dream," said his mother, Linda.
"My husband flies GulfStreams, my grandfather was in the Air Force, and I was a translator with American Airlines for eight years, so it's not like it was an unknown world to me," she said.
"My first lesson was with my father when he was getting checked out on a plane by a pilot named Graham," Andrew said. "He said, 'Why don't we give Andrew a try?' and so he showed me how to use the controls and how to move the airplane around on the ground.
"Once we got up in the air, he let me try a few turns," Andrew said.
"You know, in school I can't really paint or draw, but when I get up in the cockpit it feels right. I just know what to do," he said.
Rietschel hasn't decided what he wants to study in college, "but I'm either thinking business or aviation."
The Brookfield High School senior has a knack for mechanical things. His favorite subjects are math and science, and he has spent two years on the school's Robotics team, serving as assistant team captain this year.
Robotics team leader Susan Troupe , said Andrew most likely will be team captain next year.
"He's very responsible and has a lot of leadership skills. He has a lot of respect from the other students, and when he tells me he is going to do something I know that he will," Troupe said.
Andrew takes flying lessons at least twice a month at Oxford Airport . With the arrival of warm, spring weather, he goes up twice a week.
His student license allows him to fly a Cessna 152, a two-seater, single-engine propeller plane, by himself within 25 miles of Oxford. "This is basically a time for me to practice for my private pilot's license," he said.
He also is doing extensive reading, and uses a flight simulator and special DVDs to help him prepare for the test, which will include both written and practical aspects.
He told his mother not to buy him any Christmas or birthday presents. "He only wanted flight time, and he was adamant about that. I think if you want to fly, it's something that you just feel," Rietschel said. "I'm very proud of him."
Andrew also worked last summer doing odd jobs for people, everything from cleaning and painting to fixing things and putting docks in the water. He earned $1,200 and used most of it to help pay for his flying lessons, which cost about $125 an hour.
"My instructor, Tracy (Mershon), said I should be ready to take the test by the end of summer," he said.
Mershon said, "I do have some other students who are young like Andrew, but it isn't really common. Andrew is really good. He's a hard worker, he retains information well and he's very dedicated."
Andrew said, "Just checking the weather and setting up a flight plan is fun to me. When I get my (private pilot's license) I would like to take my good friend Ethan up and maybe fly to Block Island or my aunt's house in Maine.
"I like to fly to New Haven, because you just head for the coast and it's not usually too busy over there. I can look down and see Yale."

With his play Die Zwillinge [The Twins, publ. 1776], Friedrich Maximilian Klinger won the Hamburg drama competition of 1775, beat his rival Johann Anton Leisewitz (1752-1806) with his entry Julius von Tarent, and gained instant recognition as a formidable author. It was the fourth of six plays that he composed during his two years as a law student at the University of Giessen (1774-76); his sixth drama (original title: Wirrwarr [Chaos]) was eventually entitled Sturm und Drang [Storm and Stress, 1777], thus providing the name for the literary movement around young Goethe.

The Explication An Universal Thought
In his poem "Mending Wall," renown poet, Robert Frost, conveys a universal thought that an individual will continue to abide by an understood ideal based solely on what is said, not what has been personally explicated or questioned through symbolism, repetition, and irony.
Throughout the poem, Frost utilizes symbolism to exemplify the theme. The wall, for example, represents the unnecessary boundaries that man has erected to enclose his "pine and ...apple" (l. 24) trees. It isolates men from their neighbors, severing not only the "frozen-ground-swell under it" (l. 2), but also any hopes of unlimited comaraderie that lay there before its establishment. Frost mentions that the speaker is an "apple orchard" (l. 24) and his neighbor is "all pine" (l. 24), symbolizing the unnecessitated creation of boundaries and innate objects that are bounded in vain. Though the objects differ in every aspect, they are essentially immobile and unthreatening.
The speaker even notes that his apple trees "will never get across" (l. 25) and cause harm to his neighbor's pine trees. He realizes that he and his neighbor "do not need the wall" (l. 24); yet, the edifice of "loaves and ...balls" (l. 17) prevails.
Another poetic device that Frost employs to communicate the theme is repetition. Though it is used in moderation, the phrases leap out to the reader. For instance, the speaker verbalizes twice, "Something there is that doesn't love a wall"(l. 1). The phrase is arranged so eloquently, by use of an anastrophe, that the reader cannot help but to inquire of the something. Placed strategically, the phrase induces the reader to create his own conjecture as to who or what the something is of the speaker's thoughts, an antithesis of the theme. Frost does not stop there; he proceeds to use...

My Grandfather
I am both excited and nervous as I ring the doorbell of the boarding house where my grandfather lives. Excited because I want to introduce my fiancé to him, and nervous because I know how forthright he can be.
I clutch Ervin's hand tightly as the door is opened and we are shown to grandfather's living quarters; it is naturally grossly overcrowded with possessions too precious to discard, our nostrils are assailed by the smell of memories of yesteryear enveloped in mothballs, soap and disinfectant; held together with a fine covering of dust.
'Hello Grandpa,' I stammer.
'Vell! Vot brinks you here all of a sudden?' he booms out before I can give any reason or explanation. I have an instant recall of how he used to bellow at me when I was a child. In his grocery store I would try to snatch a sweet or a biscuit but he would be on top of me in a flash 'You should esk; you can't just take vitout esking first. Now put it bek and esk first next time.' His heavy Russian accent added to his formidable physique was enough to frighten the boots off anyone.
'Grandpa,' I stammer, almost apologetically, 'I want to introduce you to my fiancé, Ervin. We are engaged and intend getting married early next year' I wait for his response.
He puffs out his chest and peers over his glasses, taking a little while before he utters a word. To me it seemed like an hour. Then smacking his clean shaven cheeks with both hands his mouth curls down at the corners and he shakes his head. In a parental, almost condescending manner he repeats my words, 'So you are engaged and you vont to marry this young boy? Vot nonsense are you talking! He should grow up a little first…get an education…earn a living…then you can come back and tell me your plans.'
I feel Ervin cringing beside me. I squeeze his hand tightly to stop him from responding.
'But Grandpa, you don't understand…'
'Vot are you saying? You are pregnant perhaps and have to get married? It is important to be respectable!'
'But Grandpa you must listen. No, I am not pregnant. Let me tell you about him. He is not such a young boy even though he looks much younger than his age. He is actually 25 years old and he has completed his university studies. He is an electrical engineer and working for a big company in town!'
'Pshah!' he splutters. 'I don't believe… hev you got proof…are you sure?'
Ervin can not contain himself any longer 'Sir,' he says'I can bring my degree to show you. On the certificate it is clearly shown what my qualifications are!'
I hear the agitation in his voice. We are all getting a bit edgy, so I end the conversation with a promise to return the next day with the necessary documents.
We did as had been promised. Grandfather glanced at the official document; grunting something about it being written in Latin. He told us to leave it with him and come back in a few days and we can then have a full discussion on the matter.
A week later we again stood on his doorstep.
'Come in and sit!' he commanded. 'I vont to vish you a heppy marriage. Dis is all in order.' Tapping the side of his nose with his finger, he winked at me and said 'You hev a very clever man, he should make a good husband for you. I took the degree to the library and sat with the Latin dictionary and translated all the vords. I am impressed; even Cum Laude – with distinction!' He stood up, an indication to us that the interview was over. He put his arms around our shoulders and ushered us out with 'and ven is dis heppy day? I vill sit at your table ven you get merried.'

The eye can be taken a look at with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A functional examination consists of the ability to relocate the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and accommodation.
The function of the eye might be evaluated in numerous methods. The patient might be asked to identify illuminated letter or things of varying sizes on what is called the Snellen chart.
Alternatively, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye might be made in a number of methods. Tension within the eyeball is determined by a "tonometer." In certain diseases, specifically in glaucoma, the tension in the eyeball is increased markedly.
Nevertheless, it ought to be well kept in mind that a patient with an eye issue may have other problems too. Typically other physical conditions are primary and impact the eye as a consequence. The appearance of the eye can inform the physician and the client to difficulties in some disturbances of other parts of the body even prior to other signs provide themselves.
One's dependence on sight is emphasized when one faces a short-lived or possible permanent loss of this important sense. Thus, when restorative procedures are looked for, particular kinds of vision correction such as contact lenses or eyeglasses are recommended.
On the other hand, some people are bothered with that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgical operations were established to encourage decreased utilization of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Basically, LASIK eye surgery is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another kind of vision correction. The only distinction is that with this kind of surgical treatment, one's vision is remedied completely.
With LASIK eye surgical treatment, the refractive errors in the cornea are permanently changed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The main purpose of this surgery is to create a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea utilizing a blade called "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is finally reformed, allowing much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgery, there are still disadvantages that people must understand. Probably, the main reason that this kind of eye surgery has actually ended up being well accepted is since the majority of its cases had actually achieved success.
In spite of its success, there are still some downsides. Here is the list:
1. It you can look here is an operation applied to the most delicate part of the eye
Due to the fact that LASIK eye surgery includes the operation of the retina, which is one of the most delicate portions of the eye, the majority of people state that the operation can be extremely risky.
To puts it simply, a simple mistake could practically trigger an individual's life time blindness. It is important to think about many elements prior to deciding whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the right corrective step one has to go through.
2. It is not a perfect procedure
LASIK eye surgical treatment might correct your vision but it does not always mean that it can give you a twenty-twenty. Even if analytical reports show that 70% of the patients may have 20/20 vision, this does not necessarily indicate they have perfect vision too.
Given all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK may not constantly be the perfect eye surgery the way a lot of individuals see it
Alternatively, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may be made in several ways. It ought to be well remembered that a patient with an eye issue may have other issues. Frequently other physical conditions are main and affect the eye as a consequence. The look of the eye can alert the doctor and the patient to troubles in some disturbances of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms present themselves.
Like its concrete counterpart, LASIK eye surgery is another kind of vision correction.
Two Benefits Individuals Do Not Really Appreciate In Respect To LASIK Eye Medical Procedures
The eye can be taken a look at with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A functional examination consists of the ability to relocate the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and accommodation.

Akhnaten Theatre Tickets
Watching Akhnaten is a thought-provoking, absorbing experience.
The opera explores the life and religious convictions of the Egyptian pharaoh, and forms the last of Philip Glass's trilogy of 'portrait' operas in which he looks at figures from the fields of science (Einstein), politics (Gandhi) and religion (Akhnaten).
This hypnotically mesmerising work uses texts drawn from ancient hymns, prayers, letters and inscriptions sung in their original Egyptian, Hebrew and Akkadian. This extraordinary work has not been seen in London for 30 years. ENO's new production is directed by Improbable theatre company's Phelim McDermott and follows his spectacular stagings of Glass's Satyagraha and The Perfect American.Countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo sings the title role, while conductor Karen Kamensek, a specialist in Glass's music, makes her ENO debut.

After the 1-1 draw at Grimsby Town on Boxing Day, the Stags are on the road again. This time around, it is to a ground known to the previewer. The tale is of Adams Park, home to Wycombe Wanderers, where the previewer saw much-travelled Jefferson Louis hit a 90th minute winner on February 9, 2008.
Five years later, the Stags gained their first victory back in League Two on August 17, 2013, when Ollie Palmer headed home the Stags' first League Two goal for five years.
A Wycombe player who starred then is still around. The name: Matt Bloomfield, who since the 2003-04 season and the Chairboys debut in a 2-0 home defeat against Rushden & Diamonds on December 28, 2003, has played nearly 400 league games for the Chairboys as well as a couple of cup games. An incredible feat, to print the least. And on August 21, 2012, he was in the same Wycombe line-up as the Stags' scorer at Grimsby on Boxing Day, Lee Angol, who came on as sub with six minutes left of a 0-1 home defeat against Gillingham. But by then, Bloomfield had been subbed.
Bloomfield also played for the Chairboys way back 2008.
Unlike many other sides, Wycombe have had the same man in the hot seat for a couple of seasons. Their current manager, Gareth Ainsworth, has bossed the Chairboys since late 2012 and has overseen a last-game League Two survival in 2014 by the help of the Stags and a near-miss on promotion the following season.
Last season saw Wycombe narrowly miss out on the playoffs and are thereabouts again this term. The proof: The Chairboys are fourth by the time of previewing, but only three points above the Stags, and have six straight home wins, the latest 2-0 against Newport.
But the final game of the calendar year 2017 will definitely be a stern test for both sides.
The sides also met in the FA Cup during the 2003-04 season.
After drawing 1-1 at Wycombe in front of the TV cameras, the Stags kayoed the Chairboys in the replay at home thanks to a 90th minute Liam Lawrence penalty. That game might have been billed: Liam Lawrence 3, Wycombe Wanderers 2, as Liam first had sent the Stags 1-0 up, then in the second half equalized to 2-2 thanks to another pen. This was an FA Cup 2nd round thriller, to say the least.
Before the 2000-01 season, when Wycombe reached the semi-finals narrowly losing 1-2 to Liverpool at Villa Park (after beating Harrow Borough, Millwall, Grimsby, Wolves, Wimbledon and Leicester) the Chairboys reached the 3rd round in 1993-94, 1994-95 and as a non-league side in 1974-75, then holding Division One Middlesbrough to a 0-0 draw at home before going out 0-1in the replay at Ayresome Park. And as early as 1932-33, Wycombe reached the FA Cup 1st round for the first time. Then they held Gillingham to a 1-1 away draw before going out 2-4 at home. And in 1959-60, Wycombe won their first FA Cup 1st round game by disposing of Wisbech 4-2 (the side that succumbed 10-1 at Brighton in the FA Cup in 1965-66, noted in the Brighton FA Cup preview one month before our trip to Wycombe in February 2008) before crashing out 1-5 at Watford in the 2nd round. In 1973-74, Wycombe accounted for their first league victim as a non-league side by beating Newport County 3-1 at home before going out against another well-known giant-killer, Peterborough 1-3 at home.
An interesting fact as well is that both Wycombe and Mansfield faced Leicester in the quarter-finals of both clubs' longest-ever FA cup runs. While Wycombe won 2-1 at Filbert Street on March 10, 2001, the Stags lost 0-1 at home on March 8, 1969. Both clubs have also met West Ham at home. While the Mighty Stags stuffed the Hammers 3-0 on February 26, 1969, the Chairboys lost 0-2 at home in the 3rd round on January 7, 1995.
For the record, the longest FA Cup runs of both sides:
Stags in 1968-69: 1st round Tow Law 4-1 (home, scorers Ledger (2), Keeley, Sharkey); 2nd round Rotherham 2-2 (away, scorers Keeley, Sharkey), 2nd round replay Rotherham 1-0 (home, scorer: Ledger), 3rd round Sheffield United 2-1 (home, scorer Roberts D (2)), 4th round Southend 2-1 (home, scorers Sharkey, Roberts D), 5th round West Ham 3-0 (home, scorers Keeley, Roberts D, Sharkey), QF Leicester 0-1 (home).
Chairboys in 2000-01: 1st round Harrow Borough 3-0 (home, scorers Bates 2, Simpson), 2nd round Millwall 0-0 (away), 2nd round replay Millwall (2-1 home, scorers Rammell, McCarthy), 3rd round Grimsby 1-1 (home, scorer McCarthy), 3rd round replay Grimsby 3-1 (away, scorers McCarthy, Simpson, Rogers), 4th round Wolverhampton 2-1 (home, scorers Rammell, Parkin), 5th round Wimbledon 2-2 (home, scorers Simpson, Brown), 5th round replay Wimbledon 1-1, 8-7 on penalties (away, scorer Carroll in normal time), QF Leicester 2-1 (away, scorers McCarthy, Essendoh), SF Liverpool 1-2 (at Villa Park, scorer Ryan).
Both sides disposed of non-league opposition as well as Division 2 (old) and Division 1 (old) and current Championship as well as, in Wycombe's case, current Premier League sides (Leicester) during the record-breaking cup runs in 1968-69 and 2000-01 as the stats above show.
Since the 2007-08 season, the Chairboys have had two one-season stints in League One, in 2009-10 and 2011-12 respectively. In the 2009-10 campaign, Wycombe faced sides like Leeds, Norwich and Southampton while both Sheffield clubs were among Wycombe's opponents two seasons later.
A good test is on the cards. Earlier this season, the sides played out a goal-less draw at One Call Stadium. Come on Mansfield!
Played for both sides: Lee Angol, Adam Birchall, Matthew Carmichael, Gerald Darvill, Richard Harris, Kieran Murtagh, Iffy Onoura, Barry Richardson, Scott Shearer, Gary Silk, Mark Stallard, Gustav Uhlenbeek, Danny Wallace, Craig Woodman.

If you doubted LDV's commitment to the Australian market, a spy pic of a new large 4WD under test in New South Wales might sway your thinking.
What will eventually amount to China's answer for the Ford Everest, Toyota Fortuner, Isuzu MU-X and others has been busted while testing in Australia.
LDV has made a name for itself in Australia with competitive and competent commercial vans, and the carmaker is about to expand its local offering with a range of dual-cab utes (called the T60 - pictured, below).
But it's the company's upcoming seven-seat SUV that could provide the biggest opportunity yet for the burgeoning brand.
Spotted in Wollongong by an eagle-eyed reader, the camo-cloaked cars are likely to be undergoing validation testing for local conditions and regulations in preparation for a local launch.
Based on the T60, the future large SUV - to be called D90 - will take on similar ute-based 4WD offerings boasting family wagon space and genuine off-road ability.
Previewed by the Maxus D90 concept at the 2016 Beijing Motor Show, the styling looks to have been watered down slightly from the sharp lines that dominated the show car, but key features like the headlights, prominent fog lights and large octagonal grille remain.
As the D90 is based on the T60, it should be powered by the same 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine producing 110kW, matched with the choice of either manual or automatic transmissions delivering power to all four wheels.
The T60 dual-cab will also come with a range of safety equipment and driver aids, and LDV hopes the new model will achieve the maximum 5-star ANCAP safety rating.
More details on the D90 are expected once the new 4WD has been fully revealed, potentially as early as next week at the Shanghai Auto Show - stay tuned.

UCC Cafe is known for their coffee. So people say. I, however, opted to try their food since in my taste, there is no difference with brewed coffee.
Whether they be Starbucks, UCC, Figaro, Coffee Bean or whatever, the taste is still the same.
The prices of their food are comparable to the likes of TGIF and Italiannis so you better have your wallet or credit card prepared for the worst LOL.
But really. I do not mind the price as long as the food tastes great.
And boy, UCC Cafe's food is heaven!
We ordered:
Chicken Teriyaki Salad for PHP329.00 which may look like it won't make you full but once you gobble up half of it, you'd wish you did not order any other.
Indian Curry Spaghetti for PHP399.00 may look like the content ain't much but really, this one can make anybody's tummy full after consuming even just half of it. And yes, the curry is yummy too!
Seafood Risotto for PHP499.00 may look overpriced considering the content ain't that plentiful but as I said awhile ago, if it tastes good then it definitely is worth it. Love the taste by the way. The saltiness favored my preferences because my wife and I are not that into salty food anyway.
The only downside with our experience is seeing a large fly suddenly land on top of the Seafood Risotto and the staff just took it with her bare hands after we complained about it.
Also, we should have been given a new one rather than adding the part that we ate and the part that was contaminated by the fly.
Still, it cannot be denied that the food at UCC Cafe is very good!

FBWW Exclusive: İpek Ustaoğlu Interview Part OneInterview • Author: Nathan Redd • Friday, April 18, 2008
I technically interviewed İpek Ustaoğlu last week, but our interview really began last October. I was in Türkiye then to attend my first Fenerbahçe match and meet with some representatives in the sport management industry when I met İpek. I have a good friend named Kıvanç Özkök who is a host for Fenerbahçe TV, and he asked me to come by the studios when I arrived to hang out and be a guest on the show "Countdown." I met Kıvanç last summer and had seen his show "Maç Kaç Kaç" but I had never actually seen Countdown.
When I arrived at the stadium, getting through security to proceed to the television studios was a little like trying to get into the NASA Space Headquarters, only the Fenerbahçe people had a better idea of what they were doing. When I finally got in to see Kıvanç, he was preparing for that evening's program and he introduced me to his co-host for Countdown, İpek Ustaoğlu. The best way to describe İpek is "bubbly." She's the same friendly girl with the big smile you see on TV, but it's even more sincere in person. I said "Memnun oldum, İpek" in my best Turkish and although I'd like to thing that she smiled in awe of Turkish-speaking skills, she was likely restraining herself from laughing at this American guy with the bad accent. İpek was immediately full of questions, which was surprisingly appreciated. She wanted to know my story, how FBWW began, etc. I, İpek, and Kıvanç walked upstairs to the cafeteria to eat lunch and talk a bit more about why I was there, why FBWW began, etc. İpek was wonderfully inquisitive the entire time and the way she carries herself is even more comfortable in person. Within five minutes, I felt like I had known her for years. As we ate, she asked me question after question until Volkan Ballı walked over. The Fener Director of Futbol Operations introduced himself to me (as if he needed to do so) and we talked briefly about FBWW and how he and President Aziz Yıldırım enjoyed the site. He knew that I was coming to watch the team train later that weekend, so our initial conversation was brief. As I returned to my lunch, İpek's questions picked up right where she left off.
Sometimes you meet someone and the friendship begins immediately. That happens to me a lot with Fener fans, which tells you a little about the hospitality of the Fenerbahçe Republic. It also happened with both Kıvanç and İpek. Certainly there is a more professional vibe on camera from both of them, but the same sincerity is evident when the cameras aren't rolling. If it seems that they are talking to you personally when they are on TV, it's probably because they are.
When I'm not writing for FBWW, I'm studying the science behind the marketing of sport organizations. Just as a successful product on the pitch is essential to a club, the faces of the club are equally as important. For Fenerbahçe, the faces of the club are the FB TV personalities like İpek. Few fans will get to meet the players, but they will watch the TV personalities every day. Kıvanç, İpek, and the other FB TV personalities have the exclusive ability of being able to influence a fan's perception of the club. In that sense, they are successful marketing products for Fener. Having İpek Ustaoğlu on camera is arguably as important as any marketing decision the club could make.
İpek currently has two different programs on FB TV. In addition to co-hosting Countdown, the popular viewer call-in and e-mail show, she hosts her own show called "Genç Çizgi" - a program dedicated to the latest in the Istanbul arts, entertainment, and fashion scene. She's also developed a big following of her own. While some of that is certainly due to her good looks, there is no lack of talent or depth there. She can talk to you about the latest music or Claudio Maldonado's recent form in the midfield. She's also equally accomplished in conversing with you in English, Turkish, and Spanish. While some will see her as simply a TV personality on the club's network, Fenerbahçe sees her as something much more valuable; a vital piece of the club's worldwide success and acquisition of new fans. I'm extremely fortunate to count İpek as a very good friend of mine, but I also realize how valuable she is to the club. Over the course of our many conversations, I've learned exactly why Fenerbahçe wants her in front of the camera talking to fans. So, who is İpek Ustaoğlu?
FBWW: Tell us a little about yourself - where were you born? Where did you grow up?
IU: I'm the kid and the granddaughter of the family - I was born in Istanbul in 1984 to a family that certainly valued girls, so I was very spoiled but also very disciplined. I didn't get everything I wanted, but anytime I needed attention there was always someone there for me. I'm definitely a lucky girl.....I have a little sister who is five years younger than me, but to be honest, she looks and acts a bit older than me.
FBWW: Were you always a Fener fan?
IU: Yeah, ofcourse! My father and grandfather were both huge Fener fans...in fact, my whole family. You could say I was born to be a Fener fan.
FBWW: Where did you go to university? Did you study journalism?
IU: I graduated from Istanbul Bilgi University, where I studied media and communication systems. While I was there I learned everything about journalism, from how to use a camera to how to write news pieces, etc.
FBWW: Did you want to work in television when you were young?
IU: Absolutely! My grandfather is Turkish writer and journalist Sadun Tanju. When I was young, he was always writing books; always on his typewriter. When I was a kid, I loved playing with his typewriter and pretending. I would write letters to him, you know, just playing around and having fun. It honestly made me realize, however, than I wanted to be just like him. Actually, I still want to be like him - he is my idol. This desire to be like him makes me work harder - read more, learn more, etc. I still envy his knowledge and his attitude. I'm still young, so in the future...who knows...
FBWW: How did you begin working for FB TV? Was it your first media job?
IU: FB TV isn't my first job. During my freshman year (the first year) of university, I was working for CNN Turk at the international desk. I was studying and working at the same time. Later I went on to work for several more networks while I was studying at the university. I love working in television - it's a different and fun world to be in.
(Part Two of FBWW's exclusive interview with Ipek coming soon...)

On January 2 of this year, I posted one of my goals for 2011 and how well I did. My 2011 resolution is in blue, my actual accomplishment in black.
"4. Continue visiting the Xerox site (link on my sidebar under "Eye candy and Freebies") at least once a week, and sending postcard support to our troops until they are safely home out of harm's way. See this post for the specifics.
This is one thing I continued through September of this year. After that, I knew troops would be coming home from Iraq, so I stopped visiting the site."
So yesterday I decided to click on a few links on my sidebars (because after all, as Seth Apter pointed out in a post on Create Mixed Media, this is VALUABLE REAL ESTATE that visitors seldom take time to view),
and decided to visit the Xerox postcard site before I said good-bye to the link.
That's when I learned (as copied and quoted from the Let's Say Thanks web site)
"Thank you for your support of Xerox's Let's Say Thanks program.
We are no longer accepting cards through the website.
Let's Say Thanks began more than five years ago as a public way to say "thank you" to the men and women serving our country. Since then, more than 30 million people have visited the website to share their appreciation with our troops through cards featuring children's artwork from across the country."
The site still offers ways you (and you and you, my dear readers) can help the troops. Once again, quoting the Xerox site:
". . .we've decided to shift the focus of the program to what the troops need most: donations. We will continue to support local cards drives and contests, and we encourage you to continue your support by sending mail, toiletry items or donations via www.give2thetroops.org."
Here is a copy of the first postcard I ever sent to an anonymous armed forces member back on Nov. 28, 2009. And here is what I wrote about the postcard:
"The one I chose first is this one created by a young man named Joshua, who lives in IL and is age 11. Before you think I stole the design off their web site, that is not the case. You may download each photo with the click of a button that is located below the "send" button."It's now time to say good-bye to the Xerox link, but hopefully not the good deeds and ways we can help our troops. Statistically, returning
I'm sharing this on CED (after all, this is first and foremost an art blog), hoping this is a wake-up call to find ways to reach out to our returning troops, while creating a post I gleaned from my sidebar and various links. How do you feel about your sidebar? Is it taking up valuable real estate, or providing worthwhile information and links?

text: There is potentially some good news for those wanting to get hold of the Motorola Xoom that just went on sale today. According to Electronista.com, Verizon has confirmed with them that they will not be requiring a minimum 1-month of service on their $799 Xoom after-all. This 'new' pricing strips away the extra $20 bucks for the first month, and $35 dollar activation fee that Verizon was going to charge. This is unconfirmed at this time, but if it turns out to be true, it will make a lot of people very happy and make the Xoom even more attractive. Can any members out there confirm this? Sound off in the forums what you think of this development. An interesting sidebar story; Motorola is getting sued for trademark infringement over the name Xoom at the moment. Here's a quote from Electronista's story, You have to wonder what Motorola was thinking on this one. Even though their product is fairly different than Xoom Corporation's product, there is no reason Moto's own lawyers shouldn't have caught this during trademark research for the name. The case will probably be settled out of court for some untold amount that Motorola will cough up just to make it go away. Don't forget to let us know what you think about the new pricing.
