Bob Deutsche joined Intel in 2004 and has more than 25 years of business and IT experience in positions that ranged from data center operations to software development to CIO. He can be found online at Bob Deutsche on the Intel Server Room.
Besides my family (and of course, Intel), I have three passions. One is high-performance aircraft (current generation to early 1930s); the second is just about anything powered by an internal combustion engine. My third passion is an insatiable desire to understand the history of both. For those who know me personally (or read my previous industry perspective on cloud computing strategy & lessons that referenced Ford's experience at the 1964 to 1966 24-Heures du Mans with its GT40), this revelation is not much of a surprise. Once again, I will attempt to make a point about the cloud using historical analogies from the automotive vertical.
Henry Ford And Service-Oriented Taxonomies?
So, what exactly does Henry Ford's Model T have in common with my fourth truth of corporate cloud strategy: services-oriented taxonomy is not optional?
Ford's Model T became available in 1908. Due to its low initial price (USD $950), demand was brisk. When Ford's auto first went into the marketplace, it was assembled by a team of two or three workers who would collect the parts they needed and start the assembly process. If a part didn't fit, they used hammers, crowbars, files, and plain old brute strength to coerce it into place until they had formed the end product (Think of it as a service).
There were two fundamental problems with this approach. The first was that the time and labor it took to complete each Model T varied. The second issue involved service life cycle considerations. If something breaks, and if every part is unique, how do I fix it? And what will it cost to repair?
Henry Ford's response to these problems boiled down to standardization and interchangeable parts. Every piece became exactly the same as its successor and predecessor, and fit with all the others into sub-assemblies (i.e., building blocks). In a sense, the manufacturing methods Ford used for the Model T were the great-grandfathers of a concept that we refer to as a services-based architecture framework.
At a strategic level, a service-based architecture framework has four layers:
- Defining and coordinating business processes and workflows
- Replacing functional silos with networks of services
- Policy-based distributed and automated management
- Building blocks (grouped into service catalogs) that provide a cost-effective, standardized set of capabilities for business process execution, user experience, governance, security, management, communication, and virtualization
Cloud Expectations: Cut Costs and Time to Deliver
With that foundation, let's briefly revisit some of the promises of the cloud. Although definitions vary greatly, cloud computing is generally considered to be the delivery of information capabilities (i.e., technical infrastructure, applications, or services) over the Internet by third-party-managed data centers. Today, cloud business models include software-as-a-service (SaaS), platform-as-a-service (PaaS), and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS)—all delivered via private, hybrid, or public frameworks. Part of the cloud promise includes a commitment to cutting both costs and the time it takes to respond to business change.
If you compare the overall promises of the cloud to the architectural goals of a services-based taxonomy, you might see some similarities. This is where the discussion becomes harder. If you look at the success and history of various service-oriented infrastructure and architecture (i.e., SOI/SOA) efforts, you'll likely find a recurring theme I refer to as the "field of dreams". If you remember the excellent movie of the same name (it helps if you're a baseball fan whose roots are in Chicago), it's about an Iowa corn farmer who hears voices that tell him to build a baseball diamond in his fields. He is spurred on by the message: "If you build it, they will come."
Unlike the movie, where "they" (the old-time players of the farmer's dreams) did come after the ball field was built, many enterprises began the SOI/SOA journey only to find out that it was significantly harder than they expected. As the figure below shows, there's a lifecycle you can associate with migrating to a services-based framework. In my experience, not many organizations actually reached the service catalog stage. Those that did, in general, had a hard time sustaining the effort.
Evolving Cloud Framework
As I've stated in an earlier post, I don't envision the evolving cloud framework as absolute in a typical enterprise. More likely, and driven by data security considerations, it will evolve as a blend of business applications delivered:
• From both the public and private cloud
• Through traditional infrastructure
Given this scenario, integrating services (e.g., business process execution, user experience, governance, security, management, and communication) will be a necessity. While it may be possible to handle this integration on a case-by-case basis, I'm quickly brought back to Henry Ford's Model T and the disadvantages of custom-fitting each component of the architecture to the next. I simply don't see a clear path for cloud to fully deliver on its promise without some kind of services-based architecture running on the back end of the enterprise.
I freely admit I may not be seeing all the elements that come into play. In fact, I'm hoping a reader will provide feedback that can help me address some of the questions I have. I'd specifically welcome any examples from your own company, or other companies you've worked with, that can either support or crush my conclusions.
Finally, here's our complete list of the inviolable, fundamental truths of corporate cloud strategy:
- Large-scale transformation to cloud computing, including your critical business systems, is a journey that will take you from eight to 10 years.
- Cloud is a top-down architectural framework that binds strategy with solutions development.
- Your cloud ecosystem is only as robust and adaptable as the sum of its parts.
- Services-oriented enterprise taxonomy is not optional.
- Cloud is a verb, not a noun.
- Technology-driven business practices often circumvent government regulations, but legal/government policy standards will dictate cloud's success.
- Bandwidth and data transmission may not always be as inexpensive and unencumbered as they are today (geo-sensitive considerations).
- Altruistic motives do not generally keep the lights on.
In the future, I'll continue to detail these fundamental truths. As always, please join in the discussion on today's topic or anything I've said in my previous posts.

Sewing Plans Spring 2012
I am really really good at making plans but less so successful at putting them into action. I also love SKETCHING my plans...really?
Anyway... at least this spring, at the start of spring, I am already thinking about what fabric/ patterns I have and how to sew for our summer (rather than a mad panic in May before a northern hemisphere summer July trip)
I had two failed attempts earlier in the year (one in Jan and one in May) and I would like to re-do/ fix them. I really don't want to have to buy more fabric but I do want to get a few essential travel outfits which I realised this July in Santo Domingo is needed in hot humid weather. A very cool dress and a cool skirt with a secret pocket.
My other ambition is to work out how to do a FBA (full bust adjustment) and make a serious muslin that works before I start on the real thing. I have done half hearted attempts in the past which haven't really helped that much.
So time to start sewing and stop sketching... I know!
7 comments:
Sounds good :). There are great tutorials online for the FBA too :)ReplyDelete
Your failed attempts might be rescuable ;)Replies
yes, I have a good book too...but it is all about working how much to add!Delete
I hope I can fix my failures
Well all I can say, is that a muslin (toile) is your best friend!Delete
And learning to fix failures, well that is all part of the learning process :) I have learned many things from mine LOL
Have you seen the Coletterie blog? And their patterns?
Also, have you seen the wonderful vintage patterns for sale out there?
yes I know re: muslim, but I am just too impatient. I think the best way is to make a wearable muslim (for home use) the only thing is that fabric is hard to source in Australia.Delete
Re; colette- it was that blog that first introduced me to the wonderful world of the sewing online community. I used to sew all my own clothes- including jackets and coats back in late 80s-90s and then I stopped. SO exciting to be back at it again... so many skills 'lost' but things come back to me (after I have done something the 'wrong' way!)
I haven't explored vintage yet....
My secret is I buy cheap fabric to use to make something that WILL be worn as a muslin ;)Delete
Casey at Elegant Musings had an awesome tutorial on resizing, which might also be useful for you.
As for vintage, well... that is a whole other playground you will enjoy immensely :) There is a large vintage contingent over there, so lots of resources!
Some vintage pieces are true works of art... and playing with colours is fun too!
ah! don't tempt me!!!ReplyDelete
btw I am sewing at the moment!Replies
then I shall leave you to it ;) Have fun! (I have plans for the morning myself- it is 8pm here now LOL)Delete

We need a logo designed for the company bauland42. Bauland means
"building land", which is similar to the Bauhaus. We are not building houses, but
software. We'd like the logo to be "in the tradition" of the Bauhaus,
that means simplistic, good design, a very good-looking font and staid
colors. We are building software which is easy to use, simplistic, well
designed and innovative. Although we wouldn't say so, most tell us this
is a Web 2.0 application.
42 stands for the answer to everything, as in The Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. It
accounts for the consulting part of our business - we're doing web site security
audits. This is a small part of our business, so you can leave that out - just explaining.
- Vector graphic
- Staid colors
- Innovative
- More than just the logotype, but not much
- Designs I like: Apple, newsvine.com, 37signals.com, moleskine.com

The Society's 2,500 Fellows include many distinguished archaeologists and art and architectural historians holding positions of responsibility across the cultural heritage. The Fellowship is international in its reach and its interests are inclusive of all aspects of the material past.
As a registered charity, the Society's principal objectives are to foster public understanding of that heritage, to support research and communicate the results and to engage in the formulation of public policy on the care of our historic environment and cultural property. The Society of Antiquaries receives no direct support from public funds.
Grants and Awards
The Society administers a number of different funds, some of which are dedicated to specific areas of interest. Individuals may apply for more than one award. However, only one application will be accepted for each award.
The closing date for all funds is the Friday of the first full week in January in the year of application.
Applications for all awards are assessed by the Research Committee. The Committee meets in early March to consider the applications, and applicants are notified of the results by the end of March.
For an overview of all offered schemes see www.sal.org.uk/grants/∞.
Minor Research Grants
The Society of Antiquaries has a variety of funds for the support of archaeological, documentary and antiquarian research. In recent years the total allocated has been approximately £30,000, in amounts varying from £500 to £5,000. The award of grants is not generally subject to any geographical or chronological considerations, although some funds do have constraints, and this may affect the pattern of grants made. Minor Grants are open to Fellows and other researchers who have links with the UK.
Minor Grants will normally be for sums up to £5,000 given on an annual basis with a possibility of renewal for up to three consecutive years. A new application is required for each year. In exceptional circumstances an additional grant for a further year may be given for work on a specific topic emanating from the original research programme, but there will be no automatic extension to a fourth year. Projects should not start before 1 April in the year of application and retrospective applications cannot be considered. The high level of research costs makes it essential that grants should be used to the best advantage.

Now Brewing: Wide Awake Coffee Co. Hazelnut Crème, with a scoop of organic pumpkin and a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg. It's not a PSL, but it's sure close and Whole30–approved. The real deal will just have to wait until October 1st.
Welcome to fall! With the return of cooler temperatures and all other things pumpkin, I often find that autumn is the time of year I most feel like curling up in a flannel with a good book.
Personally, when I think back about my journey as an aspiring novelist—it all starts with racing through books as a young pre-k student and one day the thought just hit me, "Hey, I wanna write books, too." So I did.
Although these days I don't do nearly enough of it (maybe this should be the 30-Minute Passion Project!), I still read anything I can get my hands on—even if it's just a few public relations articles each day during my lunch at work.
I've written before about how important I find reading to be as a writer, so I'm pleased that one of my best friends and a fellow book lover, joined my #15MinutePassionProject and decided to dedicate her 15 minutes to reading more this month.
Something I've always enjoyed about my friendship with Ashley is that she's one of the only other 20-somethings I know that's perfectly content and actually excited about spending the afternoon hanging out at a bookstore—in fact, we most recently met up for an afternoon of browsing and catching up over the shelves of our local Barnes and Noble.
Reading is a powerful experience, both for writers and non-writers, so if after reading this first Passion Project Piece you're compelled to join us on the #15MinutePassionProject, it's not too late!
Let me know how you'll be spending your 15 and we can chat about how to make your super cool hobby (and let me tell you friends, I follow your social media sites—I KNOW you're doing neat stuff!) one of the features this month.
And, because I'm all about appreciating when people do me a solid, a special shout out to Ashley for being so eager to join my crazy little project and for sharing her passion with us in this week's Q&A. Enjoy!
15 Minutes of Reading
Do you snack while you read? If so, what is your favorite reading snack?
Does coffee count as a snack? I don't really snack while reading but I'm extremely guilty of reading during meals, especially if I'm eating alone.
How do you keep your place while reading a book? Bookmark? Dog-ears? Laying the book flat open? Or something else?
Most of the time I dog-ear the page. I like seeing how a book gets worn the more I read it, like its been loved.
First book you ever remember reading?
I remember reading the Magic Tree House series books alone. I wish I could say Harry Potter was the first book I ever remember reading though because those were the ones that showed me how magical reading can be and I've been an avid reader ever since.
Fiction, non-fiction, or both?
Mostly fiction but I do read non-fiction on occasion. I'd actually like to try to incorporate more non-fiction into my reading selection. I made a friend in Russia who reads a lot of non-fiction and talking with him has inspired me to make that more of a priority.
Do you read to the end of a chapter or just stop anywhere?
I try to read to the end of the chapter but sometimes it's not possible and I have to just stop at whatever page I'm reading.
If you come across an unfamiliar word while reading, do you stop and look it up right away?
Only if I can't figure out what it means based on context clues.
What are you currently reading?
I'm currently reading Cuckoo's Calling and Raging Heat.
Do you prefer series books or stand-alones?
I'm a sucker for a good book series. (Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, Rizzoli and Isles).
What is the last book you bought?
Raging Heat, Much Ado About Nothing, and The Complete Illustrated History Aztec and Maya.
Are you the type of person that reads one book at a time, or can you read more than one?
Normally I only read one book at a time. Right now I'm reading two as it is easier to read from my Kindle on the bus back from volleyball games.
Have you ever thrown a book across the room or on the floor when the author irritated you?
Once or twice. There was one time I threw it across the room and it wasn't even because the author irritated me. I was so engrossed in the last Harry Potter book that I failed to see the spider crawling up until it was right where I was reading. I freaked out and sent the book flying across the room.
If you could decide the curriculum for a high school literature class, name at least five (5) pieces you would include and why.
The Hunger Games: It's a relatively current series. Sometimes I felt like literature class was bogged down with all the classics. Don't get me wrong I love the classics but it's also important to have something current to study as well. Also it's a great series to consider in regards to government and politics.
Native Son: I read Native Son myself in high school. The story was interesting. I couldn't wait to read the next reading assignment to see what would happen next. If I had to give the name of a book that sparked my interest in mystery and crime stories this would be it even though that isn't the main focus of the book. This book taught me a lot about racial inequality in America.
A Raisin in the Sun: Another book that I had the opportunity to read in high school. I actually remember sitting down and reading this play in one go. I loved it! I also remember I had to read it around the time the TV movie was airing which just happened to have my favorite Broadway actress starring in it. This is another good example of the racial inequality that African Americans faced in America but I think the topic is still relevant today.
Anna Karenina: I read this in high school as well but I know that my classmates did not. This book is what I picked on my own to read and analyze for a paper. I fell in love with the story, the characters, and Russia. Reading this book helped to create my dream, that I recently accomplished, of living in Russia. I think this book gives great insight into a different culture than our own.
Much Ado About Nothing: One that I wish we could have read in high school. I ended up reading a lot of Shakespeare throughout my time in high school. We mostly read the tragedies though. Much Ado About Nothing is one of the comedies. My favorite Shakespeare play had always been Hamlet until I read this one. I think it would be beneficial to read both a tragedy and comedy to compare and contrast them.
I know that a lot of the books listed I read in high school but the truth is I really wouldn't have wanted my high school literature curriculum any other way. I always learned something about society during our readings. The lessons in the novels we read were so powerful that most, if not all have stuck with me to this day. In high school I always told my teacher not to analyze Harry Potter in front of me because I didn't want it to be ruined, that it was the series I read for fun. Now every time I pick up one of the Harry Potter books to reread I can't help but analyze it. I still stand by my statement of not wanting to analyze it in school though. I feel a sense of accomplishment, that what I learned in school wasn't for nothing when I automatically start analyzing my favorite book series on my own.
Do you have a favorite time/place to read?
I love reading right before bed, although that can lead to me staying up later than originally planned because I'm so interested in the story. My favorite place to read is either on the couch, in a big comfy chair or my bed. I wish I had a window seat that would be the ideal place for me to read.
When you start reading a book, are you compelled to finish it no matter what or can you set it aside if it's not your style?
I feel compelled to finish it no matter what, except that one time in AP English when I didn't finish reading Jane Eyre. I clearly wasn't compelled to finish that one and I think my English teacher could tell based on one of the comments on my paper. With the exception of Jane Eyre, I usually finish a book within a couple days. I have a binge reading problem in that regards. I hate having to put a book down to finish later. However, with choosing reading as my 15 Minute Passion Project I've become better at accepting the fact that I don't have enough time to always finish a book within a couple days and the world won't end if it takes me a week or two.
Author's Note: I didn't finish Jane Eyre either, oops.
How do you organize your books? (By genre, title, author's last name, etc.)
Series always go together and books by the same author always go together then I usually do it by genre. I have a system. It might be an odd system but it works for me.
Is there a specific book or author you find yourself recommending over and over?
Paper Towns by John Green
On that note, if you HAD to pick—what book is your absolute all-time favorite?
A Marriage of True Minds by Stephen Evans…talk about plot twist! Harry Potter is in a league of its own and would always be my answer to this question so lately I've answered taking it out of the equation, one because I'm indecisive and two it gives other books a chance.
See you next week,
Kathryn E. Weast

Member for Nhulunbuy, Lynne Walker, today said that alarmingly, residents in the community of Yirrkala had been without power overnight and without water for much of today without any communication from Rio Tinto or the CLP Government.
"After a power outage which affected the Gove region last night, including Nhulunbuy, reports have come in that Yirrkala was without water for as long as 8 hours," Ms Walker said.
"The local school and childcare had to close as a result."
"Unacceptably, there has been no communication from the CLP Government, who are responsible for distribution for power and water supplied by Rio Tinto, as to what the problem is and in what timeframe it will be remedied."
Ms Walker also questioned whether the residents would be receiving the same sort of treatment if this incident had occurred last week when the Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, was in town.
"Last week Yirrkala was in the national spotlight thanks to the visit by the Prime Minister, Tony Abbott," Ms Walker said.
"This week it appears as though the CLP Government has returned the region to its usual state of "out of sight, out of mind" for the CLP Government."
Media contact: Cathryn Tilmouth 0427 500 667
Opposition Leader Delia Lawrie said Territorians are asking why they pay hefty power bills for a system of increasing blackouts.
"The CLP has spent more effort breaking up PowerWater than having a system that can deal with single points of failure like an interrupted gas supply," Ms Lawrie said.
"Territorians were left scrambling for information for hours yesterday afternoon before alerts started to roll out from Minister for Essential Services Willem Westra Van Holthe.
"With the heightened focus on our power supplies after the disastrous system-wide blackout in March, Territorians are entitled to expect a more reliable supply and backup system.
"Questions are being asked about the maintenance of our generation and distribution system.
"What exactly was the cause of gas failure at the Blacktip offshore platform? Why didn't the dual back-up generators cope effectively with the load?
"The Minister revealed the CLP waited to inform Territorians this afternoon after knowing earlier. How long was information withheld from Territorians?
"We all remember the catastrophic power failure earlier this year and the devastating impact this had on businesses and households.
"Thanks to the great efforts of PowerWater workers electricity was restored but the Government must invest in a reliable back up system to avoid these sorts of potentially catastrophic events."
Media contact: Mandy Taylor 0414 634159
Opposition Leader Delia Lawrie said the chaos caused by the rushed split of PowerWater by the CLP Government was evident as the first round of split bills hit Territorians.
"As the first bills are going out from Jacana Energy, many Territorians have found to their shock that their former direct debits to PowerWater no long apply to their electricity bills," Ms Lawrie said.
"PowerWater didn't give customers the option of transferring their prepayment onto the electricity component of their bill and just left it at the water and sewage component.
"Some Territorians are finding out they are in credit for their water bill but owe large amounts for power.
"The CLP ran an expensive advertising campaign reassuring residents and businesses that the split of utilities wouldn't affect them but this is not true.
"To make it even more confusing some Territorians are still receiving consolidated bills from PowerWater while others are receiving the two separate bills."
Labor candidate for Casuarina Lauren Moss said pensioners and low income earners were being hit particularly hard by the direct debit fiasco.
"Many people on benefits use direct debit to pay their power and water bills and are only now finding out they have only been paying off the water and sewerage," Ms Moss said.
"Power and water charges are a big part of the increasing financial pain Casuarina families tell me they are struggling with."
Ms Lawrie said PowerWater should have been directed by Chief Minister Adam Giles to write to consumers who paid by direct debit to inform them the payment no longer applied to the electricity component.
"The CLP Government didn't bother to tell Territorians they would need to set up a new system to keep paying off their ever increasing power bills," Ms Lawrie said.
"Now we have businesses and families getting a double whammy of more expensive power and finding out their direct payments haven't been paying off their bill.
"Adam Giles is again showing he cares more about profits than people with the rushed split of PowerWater."
Leader of the Opposition, Delia Lawrie, today said that as a parting gift by the former Treasurer, Dave Tollner, Territorians are set to be hit with another price hike in their power and water bills.
"In a letter to PowerWater Corporation Chairman, Ken Clarke, the former Treasurer and Shareholding Minister, Dave Tollner, directed the Corporation to increase network charges by 7.7 per cent in 2014-15 and a further 8 per cent in 2015-16," Ms Lawrie said.
"Mr Tollner gave this direction to Power Water Corporation two months ago.
"These will be price hikes on top of the 5 per cent increase Territorians will be hit with in January next year – which is also on top of the $2000 an average Territory family has already had to find to cover power bill increases since the election of the CLP Government."
Ms Lawrie said that the CLP Government has made PowerWater vulnerable by splitting off the revenue earners of Generation and Retail.
"In splitting up PowerWater the CLP Government has made a catastrophic mistake by taking away PowerWater's revenue earning components; generation and retail," Ms Lawrie said.
"Now Territorians will have to pay higher bills to cover the short fall needed to pay network charges.
"Territorians are already paying too much for their power, water and sewerage bills and this Government is signing off on more increases.
"The CLP Government's preoccupation with privatising the Territory's utilities assets will mean even more pain is on its way. Structural separation and privatisation of utilities in other states has resulted in price hikes."
Media contact: Cathryn Tilmouth 0427 500 667
Shadow Minister for Essential Services, Nicole Manison, today said that the introduction of a new private power station will not mean cheaper power for Territorians.
"This will not mean a family living in the Top End can expect cheaper power bills," Ms Manison said.
"The new power station that is set to be built by Northern Power and General Electric near Weddell is unlikely to result in lower power prices for Territorians.
"In other jurisdictions where utilities have undergone structural separation and privatisation the result was higher costs and reduced reliability of service.
"This is another step towards the CLP Government's ultimate goal of privatisation of PowerWater.
"The new power station will sell the electricity they generate to energy retailers who will be focused on making profits, not providing affordable reliable services for customers.
"Electricity and water are essential services for Territorians, and need to be reliable and affordable.
"They should not be used as profit making tools for the CLP Government."

The best of what to do in and around Miami this week
Get ready for art and film in Miami this week. First, stroll through multiple galleries in Little Havana during Viernes Culturales. Then, check out the inaugural Mindie Film Fest, and see the Miami Flea like you've never seen it before. Finally, visit a new, thought-provoking exhibit at the MOCA, and eat a work of art in doughnut form courtesy of the Salty Donut.
AFAR Local is our weekly insider guide to the best of what's happening in cities around the U.S.
June 24 | Art walk
Viernes Culturales
Viernes Culturales (Cultural Friday) is more than just an art walk. Located along Calle Ocho, the main artery of Little Havana, Viernes Culturales is a gallery-hop, foodie festival, and musical event. Centered in Domino Plaza, the monthly event highlights the local influence of Cuban culture in Little Havana and more broadly in the city of Miami. The work of local artists and artisans will be on display in stores and galleries, and Afro-Cuban music will fill the streets.
7–11 p.m. | Domino Plaza, 1637 SW 8th St., Miami | Free | website
June 25–26 | Film
Miami Independent Film Festival
The Miami Independent Film Festival, also known as Mindie, is an ongoing film festival celebrating its first annual film showcase this year. Over 1,000 films were submitted for review, and this weekend at the Screening Room the finalists will be shown. The screenings will culminate in a presentation of awards for the Best Feature Film, Best Feature Documentary, Best Student Film, and more.
2–8 p.m. | The Screening Room, 2626 NW 2nd Ave., Miami | Free | website
June 25–26 | Food
The Salty Donut Collaborates with Lee Brian Schrager
Miami's first artisanal doughnut shop, the Salty Donut, has been wooing the foodie crowd as a pop-up for months with its homemade, all-natural approach to the doughnut. In anticipation of its upcoming permanent location, the Salty Donut has partnered with Lee Brian Schrager, the creator of the South Beach Food & Wine Festival, to celebrate his new book, America's Best Breakfasts: Favorite Local Breakfasts from Coast to Coast. Using the book and breakfasts around the country as inspiration, the masterminds at Salty Donut will create a surprise, limited-edition doughnut that will be available this weekend only. They will sell out fast, so make sure to stop by early.
11 a.m. | The Salty Donut, 29 NW 24th St., Miami | website
The Miami Flea at Night
This pop-up shopping event has become popular with Miamians. The organizers are shaking things up this week and opening for an evening flea market rather than the usual morning event. That means friends, drinks, and dancing are in order, all of which the Flea will provide. Get to know local artists selling their works, drink craft beer and eat local favorites in the Grub Garden, and dance to live music by The Wynwoods, Jahzel Dotel, Camila Luna, and Uncle Scotchy.
4–8 p.m. | 1440 N. Miami Ave., Miami | Free | website
Now open | Exhibit
A new collection of work at North Miami's Museum of Contemporary Art addresses intersectionality, a concept used to express the connectedness of oppressive institutions. More than 50 artists from South Florida and beyond have contributed works that reflect on intersectionality as it relates to racism, sexism, homophobia, and classism. Visit the exhibit on June 24 and stay for a performance by local Latin/jazz band Llanzallamas Monofonica at 8 p.m.
Times vary | Museum of Contemporary Art, 770 NE 125th St., North Miami | $5 | website

There's also an income gap across racial lines. In Oakland County, 25% of Asian-Americans make more than $150,000 a year, the highest among all groups in the region. An additional 22% of Asian-Americans in the county make between $100,00 to $150,000. Whites in Oakland County were the second wealthiest group in the region, with 16% of them making more than $150,000.
In contrast, 44% of African-Americans in the city of Detroit make less than $25,000, the highest percentage among racial groups in Wayne, Macomb, and Oakland counties. About 40% of Native Americans and 32% of Latinos in Wayne County make less than $25,000.
The report also showed that while Detroit's population is 84% black, 56% of people who work in the city are white while 39% are African-American. The data shows that many African-Americans in the city of Detroit are commuting to the suburbs for their jobs.

Synopsis - Jonas' world is perfect. Everything is under control. There is no war or fear or pain. There are no choices. Every person is assigned a role in the Community. When Jonas turns twelve, he is singled out to receive special training from The Giver. The Giver alone holds the memories of the true pain and pleasure of life. Now, it is time for Jonas to receive the truth. There is no turning back.
For the last few months, I have been interacting with Caragh and Brianna from Loaded Shelves and endorsed them as being a blog that all readers from different walks of life can enjoy. I am incredibly honored to be able to contribute book reviews to their blog, for reading is one thing I thoroughly enjoy to do. I am Josh Caporale and I created my blog, Caponomics, back in March 2011. Caponomics began as a column in my high school newsletter. After graduation, I briefly had a column with the same name before I took my high school newsletter editor's advice and created a blog. I am a growing blog that has 19 followers, over 200 posts, and over 22,000 page views, holding high hope that at some point in time, I can surpass these numbers. The topics I cover on my blog include politics, music, film, television, sports, food, nostalgia, and most importantly... books and literature. While there isn't a direct concentration, my absolute passion lies in writing and reading and I hope that some day, I become a successful writer who writes in the realm of horror, sci-fi, speculative, or just situation fiction ("what if").
I have given you enough about my story and should move forward with a story far more excellent of my own: or should I call it a warning? In the American curriculum, Lois Lowry's The Giver is seen as a staple in some way, shape, or form. Since I went to private school, I did not have the opportunity to read it. Thankfully, when I took a Young Adult Literature class this semester, this was one of the books we read and it just so happened my group and I presented this book to the class. When I say that The Giver is a warning, I mean we are taking visible steps toward a world that is very much similar to this novel. The fact that somebody is possessing a power like "The Giver" would probably come in the form of technology, such as a ring that plays a role equivalent to a computer flash drive, but the nature of possessing memory will become nearly obsolete, something we have seen multiple times in literature.
The Giver follows a boy named Jonas who will be entering his twelfth year. During this point in time, individuals are assigned a role in society. Yes, this is a society that provides just about no freedom to its citizens. Citizens are assigned a role, their spouses are chosen from them based off of their personality and common interests like they're on Match.com, they request children that they receive if they successfully survive their first year, and they are required to share their dreams with one another. There are been plenty of arguments in futuristic societies in which children will not be naturally born, but instead in test tubes or in laboratories. This seems to be that kind of society, for the only individuals that can be seen naked are babies (before their first year) and older people living in the "House of Old." Jonas lives with his father, who is a nurturer that cares for babies, his mother, who worked for the Department of Justice, his sister, Lily, who is years younger, and Gabriel, who is a baby that Jonas' dad is raising until he turns one and is either adopted by a family or released if he does not meet their standards.
Jonas is the last one called during the ceremony, for he is selected to be the next Receiver. This individual eventually becomes the subject that holds the memories of society from generations ago. This requires meetings with "The Giver," who is an older looking man that possesses the memory from generations ago in which he passes onto Jonas by rubbing his back. Of course, this is a relatively strange method that will catch some attention, but the intent is to use this in order to deliver memories. Through these meetings, Jonas learns about a society of snow and sunshine, relief and pain, as well as the memory of color. Unfortunately, this society has converted to that of "sameness" (ohhhhhh boy, does that look familiar???), in which the weather is always the same year round, people don't end up in situations in which they hurt (and if they are, they just take a pill), and this society did away with color, because they wanted everyone to look as identical as possible so no one would complain. Jonas learns the secrets behind what really happens during release and why the last person who took on the role of Receiver surrendered the position and demanded a release. This all leads to a climatic result that turns into something that's incredibly open-ended. At the same time, these connections are tied in some way in the three sequels: Gathering Blue, Messenger, and Son.
The Giver is downright brilliant! It delivers a powerful message about how a futuristic utopia is relatively impossible, even if the world around us supports such a notion. At the same time, we are taking steps further toward living in such a society. The Giver has elements of *SKIP THIS SEGMENT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO CONSUME A SPOILER* human euthanasia *YOU MAY CONTINUE* Totalitarianism, climate change (solved with climate control), and rebellion against such a controlling society, something we see through plenty of leaders throughout history. The purpose of a work is that it delivers a message, often originating as a thought in someone's head, that will keep the reader thinking long after the last words have been read. That is where The Giver succeeds best and it's rightfully taught in schools, even when schools have made an effort to engage in the inappropriate practice of censoring it. The Giver should be seen as a warning to anyone that believes in the government tending to their everyday needs, for that will be a case in which freedom will become obsolete and to see freedom become obsolete is the biggest sin that society has to offer.
Verdict: 10/10

Conclusion: That's Just The Rub
In reality, the justification of abortion because of economic reasons is just heinous. Unfortunately, for many people, this is the case. The mother/couple just do not have the financial stability to raise a child on their own and they see abortion as a way out. Now while this concluding paragraph may sound like I am for the pro-life side of abortion, I am definitely for the pro-choice side of abortion from a depressive realist mentality. Abortion is a terrible thing but people tend to do crazy things when they are desperate. The sad truth is that the United States needs to keep abortion legalized. If it was not for abortion being legalized, the amount of "homemade" abortions would skyrocket, along with that, the number of accidental deaths from performing these abortions incorrectly. I wish abortion did not exist but it needs to, in an almost ironic way, in order to save lives.

Those among you who have been used to seeing or experiencing the anxious rush to own the latest Apple product will not really be surprised or shocked by this piece of news. Apple claims that the pre-order stock for its latest iPad with Retina Display has already dried up.
We all know that the original Apple iPad and also the subsequent iPad 2 had created a mini typhoon of sorts in the mobile market. Considering that, we expected that Apple would have been ready to meet this kind of demand for its third generation iPad. Evidently, even the giant had not foreseen this situation, where its pre-order stock would be gone so soon.
As the situation stands at present, all the third generation iPad pre-orders, which have been placed on the Apple Website, will be shipping only by March 19. Since the tablet is expected to enter the market on March 16, this is 3 days after the date that this iPad would be hitting retail stores.
Guys, unless you had been early and lucky enough to get your pre-order cleared before this avalanche of orders came along, your only chance of laying your hands on this shiny beauty at the earliest, is to join those who will be lining up in front of an Apple Store.
So what are you guys going to do? Would you want to wait up for the next pre-order session to start or are you the kind who would much rather wait in line so as to ensure you actually get it in hand on the date of the release of the iPad 3?

The Glory That Was (and STILL is!) Faye Dunaway.
In the wake of the criticism and snickering about the appearance of Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty at the recent Academy Awards, we want to remind all of you, about the greatness and glamour that was — and still is, away from podiums and mishandled cards — of Miss Dunaway. We wrote this tribute a couple of years back, and it still applies.
"She's my sister" (slap!)
"She's my daughter" (slap!)
"Sister" (slap!)
"Daughter" (slap!)
"She's my sister and my daughter!! Get it? Or is that too tough for you?"
Any film fan worth his salt knows this famous Faye Dunaway scene from Roman Polanski's famed "Chinatown" (slaps courtesy of a very frustrated Jack Nicholson.)
"Chinatown" was, in many ways, the last true noir film (albeit in color) And Miss Dunaway a true, mysterious and tragic noir lady. Half truths, deadly lies, and often a gun (pulled from the pocket of a mink) were the weapons of this cinema staple. Although Faye would win her Oscar, playing the modern, ruthless exec of "Network," it was "Chinatown" in which she gave her defining performance. The role she was born to play.
|Dunaway is a star who was born 30 years too late. She was made for mystery and evocative black and white. She could have given Bette and Joan and Barbara Stanwyck a run for their dramatic, neurotic money. She had an intrinsic propensity for brilliant, grand, unapologetic over-acting. Nothing hesitant about Faye Dunaway. A straight-forward throwback to a time when movie stars thrilled millions with the curl of a lip, an arched eyebrow, a whispered threat, a declaration of love — perhaps true? With her hooded gaze, the lush mouth of her youth and those incredible cheekbones Dunaway was a true American exotic. And for a while, she was one of the most fascinating actresses in the world.
|BORN in Bascom, Florida, Faye attended the University of Florida and Boston University. She graduated in theater. The striking young woman joined the American Theater and Academy. She appeared on Broadway in "A Man for All Seasons" and "Hogan's Goat," well reviewed.
|Hollywood beckoned and she had smallish but showy roles in "The Happening" and then "Hurry Sundown," which was Otto Preminger's tribute to Southern white trash. Dunaway objected to Preminger's dictatorial attitude and this was the beginning of the actress being labeled "difficult." (Why nobody ever considered the infamously abusive Preminger difficult is hard to imagine.)
Still, despite the tensions, Faye captured a Golden Globe nomination and was named "Star of the Year" for 1965.
|Still basically unknown, she immediately went into Warren Beatty's "Bonnie and Clyde." This catapulted her to the top echelon of stars. (Natalie Wood, Warren's once-upon-a-time amour, had rejected the role.) Faye's hard/soft performance, her unusual beauty, and the way she wore Theadora Van Runkle's 1930s-inspired fashions made Dunaway an instantly iconic and recognizable face of the late 1960s. Nobody looked quite like her. Nobody looked like her at all!
|She received her first Oscar nomination for "Bonnie and Clyde." She then had another big hit with "The Thomas Crown Affair." Steve McQueen was cool. Faye Dunaway was icy. They looked beautiful together. The film was another hit.
|However, with the old studio system dying, Faye — a fantastic personality with no place to go with it — floundered for the next four years in films such as "The Extraordinary Seaman" ... "Little Big Man: "The Woman I Love" ... "Doc" ... "The Arrangement" "Oklahoma Crude" ... "Puzzle of a Downfall Child" (a brilliant performance, begging to be re-examined) and "A Place for Lovers" (this was a place where at least she found romance for several years with co-star Marcello Mastroianni.)
|She also offered a seductive turn in "The Four Musketeers" as the infamous Milady de Winter. If Faye was not quite up to the lush MGM lure of Lana Turner in the 1948 version, she was still mighty dangerous foe — pulling daggers out of her bodice! By this point, Faye's public image had begun to spin into "diva" — although that phrase to describe a demanding celebrity had yet to be coined. Divas were still opera singers.
|IN fact, on the Musketeers" set it was rumored that in a scene where Faye is supposed to strangle Raquel Welch with a heavy wooden rosary, Faye performed a bit too realistically. Not that there was much sympathy for Miss Welch. She was known as a difficult star herself. True or not, it made for lively gossip.
|AND then, Faye received the second "role of a lifetime" when Roman Polanski cast her as Evelyn Mulwray in the beautifully chilly and tensely violent noir "Chinatown." She starred opposite Jack Nicholson, a scene-stealer if there ever was, but Dunaway — who could command the camera with one defiant glance — held her own as the icy wife of a missing mogul who had a more than a few secrets of her own. Was she a deadly femme fatale or a hapless victim? ("I don't 'get tough' with anyone, Mr. Gitties. My lawyer does.") Faye was, top-to-toe, a fabulous movie-star, perfecting a series of mannerisms that were fascinating to behold. She was once again Oscar nominated. But lost, perhaps because Polanski had been so vocal about how hard she was to work with.
|After that, she was a throwaway in the spy thriller "Three Days of The Condor" with Robert Redford (No chemistry at all between these two superstars) and was merely gorgeous and distressed in the smash hit "The Towering Inferno." She seemed to drifting off track again when along came the role of the madly driven TV executive, Diana Christensen, in "Network."
|Working with Peter Finch, William Holden and Robert Duval energized her. Dunaway's by now familiar quirks and intensity fit the role perfectly. Finally, she took the Academy Award. (She was famously photographed relaxing poolside with Oscar the morning after at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The picture was taken by her soon-to-be second husband, Terry O' Neill. Her first spouse had been musician Peter Wolf.)
|But as is so often true after an Oscar win, things start to go south. She was first-billed in the aptly titled "Voyage of the Dammed" ... saw visions in "The Eyes of Laura Mars." (This made money, but critics were unimpressed.)
|She also appeared in Franco Zeffirelli's "The Champ" in 1979, not looking her best and rather ignored in the praise heaped on Jon Voight and Ricky Schroder. She was sensational on TV as evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson, but her co-star Bette Davis complained Dunaway was impossible to work with (pot and kettle, there!)
|SHE played Evita Peron in a 1981 TV movie based on the life of the Argentinean legend, and was delightfully — for those who enjoy that sort of thing — over-the-top. (Madonna, in the 1997 feature film version of the musical, "Evita" played Peron with an eye toward softness. Dunaway did away with any of that.)
|And then, later the same year, came — drum roll! — "Mommie Dearest" the screen version of Christina Crawford's scathing tell-all on her famous mother. I can't imagine what anybody expected from this, given the material. Frank Perry directed, with an eye toward excess. Faye, apparently, threw herself into being Joan Crawford with magnificent, unrestrained gusto. Faye had not written the script, nor had she a hand in editing, so who will ever know if she was encouraged to tone it down? (Or if there were subtler takes.)
|The performance is brilliant, daring, poignant — but so outrageously committed, it explodes into camp instantly. Within a week of its release there were "Mommie Dearest" parties being held all across the country. Faye's every utterance had become legendary, and we needn't even talk at length about the Kabuki makeup "no wire hangers" scene. In truth, Faye wasn't doing anything she hadn't in a number of other films — these were her mannerisms. But playing Crawford brought them out in vivid high relief. Faye would forever more blame "Mommie" for downturn in her career. (Director Frank Perry simply omitted it from his bio.) But truth be told, Faye had been a star since 1966. Her big-time was coming to an end, anyway. She just happened to go out in a blaze of derision. (Though I think she is glorious as Crawford.)
|Her next film would be an unfortunate period potboiler, "The Wicked Lady," which only enhanced her image as an eye-popping, tempestuous virago.
Afterward, it was up and down — a fine, gritty turn in "Barfly" with Mickey Rourke, and superb with Peter Ustinov in a lush TV adaptation of Agatha Christie's "Dinner for Thirteen." But there were too many like "Supergirl" or "Terror in the Aisles" or "Beverly Hills Madam." She kept a hand in features and television, sometimes scoring ("Albino Alligator" ... "The Twilight of the Golds") ... a TV version of "Rebecca" where she was delicious as the pretentious Mrs. Van Hopper. Excellent in "The Yards" with Charlize Theron.
|But mostly, she just kept on keeping on. Her resume is vast and eclectic, (In 2011 France honored her as an Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters.) She adopted a child with Terry O' Neill, Liam, and they divorced in 1987. She has commented since that she considers herself "a loner, anyway — I like to focus on my work." She has, for the most part, kept her private life singularly private.
|In recent years she has been almost manically committed to putting Terrence McNally's tale of Maria Callas, "Master Class" onscreen. It has proceeded in fits and starts, and was said to be "almost ready" a couple of years back. It is surely a role for all aspects of her larger-than-life personality. (Dunaway toured with the show in 1996, to great acclaim.)
|Faye Dunaway was too big for her time. I end this as I began — had she appeared in 1943, she would have wiped the studio floors with the great stars of that era. As it was — despite her bitterness over "Mommie Dearest" — Faye had a good run. And she has never stopped working; always looking for the next "Bonnie and Clyde" ... "Chinatown" ... "Network."
She is an artist committed to her art. Her great golden moment, I think, is still ahead of her.
It was not, obviously, the 2017 Oscar telecast!

Why Mitch Daniels Should Enter the Race: The Real Conservative Alternative
The truth, as Daniels went on, is that Republicans "alone have passed bills to reduce borrowing, reform entitlements, and encourage new job creation, only to be shot down time and time again by the President and his Democratic Senate allies." He and we stand for a pro-jobs, pro-growth economic policy, the kind that the blue-collar working-class (that the Democrats have abandoned) understand and will support. If we fail to do this, he concludes accurately, "there will never be enough public revenue to pay for our safety net, national security, or whatever size government we decide to have."
The question is: Why cannot the current crop of proclaimed candidates have the ability and the wherewithal to make this case so cogently and in a way that does not seem threatening to independents and swing voters? Let us face the truth. If nominated, Newt Gingrich will be Obama's greatest gift, producing a majority for Obama that in a normal political climate should be an easy defeat for him and victory for the Republican Party in 2012. As Ryan Mauro points out in Frontpagemag.com, the polls show Romney outperforming Gingrich in every major swing state -- precisely those that have to be won if Obama is to be defeated. He concludes:
If the election were held today between Obama and Romney, the president would win with 301 electoral votes. If Obama ran against Gingrich, he'd be re-elected with 357 electoral votes. Based on the polls today, it is undeniable that Romney is much more electable.
In a similar vein, the editors of National Review write that,
Gingrich as nominee would have to train his fire on Obama, who will be able to fight back as John King could not. Nor will the public at large be as impressed by Gingrich's willingness to attack Obama as a clueless radical as Republicans are. (If voters decide in 2012 to reward the most slashing or sardonic debater before them with the presidency, it will be a first.) When Republicans found themselves in tight spots during the Reagan presidency, they waited for their leader to give a speech to show them the way forward and rally the troops. When Gingrich was Speaker, Republicans never sought him to intervene in legislative debates to turn the tide.
The main point as to why Gingrich is so vulnerable, they argue, is that "only Gingrich has never been elected to office from anything larger than a congressional district; only Gingrich has never had to reach beyond the Republican base vote to win an election." The only constant in his lengthy decades-long career is that "Gingrich has never been popular. Polls have never shown more than 43 percent of the public viewing him favorably at any point in his career. Gingrich backers say that he is inspiring. What he mostly seems to inspire is opposition."
The NR team is correct. Newt Gingrich's high votes are the result of a Republican unrepresentative base that wants a bloody fight and a shouting match -- one that in fact will not occur in the two scheduled presidential forums, whose character is determined by the administration's committee, and which will be anything but the model of a Lincoln-Douglas debate that Gingrich continually promises.
Gingrich also falsely continually compares himself to Ronald Reagan, with whom he says he worked to overthrow the Soviet empire, among other things. But as Elliott Abrams points out in a devastating review of where Gingrich actually stood when Reagan was president, more often than not Gingrich levied dangerous and false charges against Reagan, when he was developing a policy that actually led to the Soviet Union's eventual collapse.
Of Daniels, Bill Kristol says somewhat with tongue-in-cheek, "if Mitch Daniels's effective tax rate is 30 percent rather than 15 percent, and if he was never paid $1.6 million by Freddie Mac, he can be the next president." To put it another way, Daniels does not have the negatives for the general electorate of both Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich.
Yes, Daniels is not running, and for personal reasons, he decided long ago not to enter the race. I understand that there are family considerations. But if this election is so critical for our future as conservatives argue, a candidate with a chance to defeat Obama should put country ahead of family. Daniels is a man who has both private sector and government experience, is popular with Democrats and independents, and has won elections from the votes of both these groups in Indiana.

It was cruel that so few were present to witness the finest moment of Cole Kpekawa's unforgettably forgettable Pompey career.
Representing Paul Hardyman's reserve side against their Peterborough counterparts, he rose highest to head home Ben Close's right-wing corner.
The only goal of the April 2015 fixture, it ensured the loanee from QPR was an unlikely match-winner amid a team containing only two players above the age of 18.
Kpekawa never played a match for Pompey again, at any level.
Come 13 days later, he was spared the agony of a lingering Fratton Park death by being recalled ahead of the natural May end to his loan.
The defender endured a hapless two-game first-team spell with the Blues, during which his performances were substandard.
Kpekawa was among 11 loanees during the 2014-15 campaign, the vast majority struggling to perform as Pompey slunk to the lowest finish in their Football League history.
Others fared just as poorly, yet it was Kpekawa who epitomised the disappointing loan market activity of Andy Awford.
In contrast, the current regime has recruited the likes of Matt Clarke, Caolan Lavery and Marc McNulty to aid the season's target of promotion from League Two.
The trio have proven superb signings by Paul Cook, with the management and Fratton faithful eager to see their impressive stays renewed next month.
Clarke, whose stature and footballing maturity defy his age of 19, can expect a regular starting berth once more in the injury absence of Christian Burgess during the next month.
It has been entirely through the form of Adam Webster rather than the decline of the Ipswich youngster which prompted his move to the bench in the first place.
As for Lavery and McNulty, they have totalled nine goals in 16 games between them to finally provide the cutting edge so glaringly absent.
In addition, striker Jayden Stockley has also enjoyed fine moments in a spell robbed of nine matches courtesy of an ankle injury.
A last-gasp leveller in the storming fightback against Morecambe and the winner at Bristol Rovers means, effectively, he has earned Cook's side four points.
However, the extension of his presence from Bournemouth must be in some doubt, particularly having failed to make the bench against Hartlepool last weekend.
Then there was Aaron McCarey – a decent enough goalkeeper to cover for the injury absence of Brian Murphy, Paul Jones and Michael Poke.
Following the end of his one-month loan, the 23-year-old returned to Wolves before heading out straight to Bury and injuring his groin after one match. He was sent back.
Overall, unquestionably successful forays so far from the canny Cook in the loan market as his side sit fourth in League Two.
Inadequate short-term signings, however, were not merely confined to last season, as the whimpering impacts of Bjorn Helge Riise, Luca Scapuzzi and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing from recent times illustrate.
Carl Dickinson, a two-time loanee, also had his critics, despite his whole-hearted approach and popular routine of applauding the Fratton end.
Then there was last season – a campaign which introduced the Fratton faithful, in date order, to Paul Robinson, Alex Wynter, Miles Storey, Michael Drennan, Matt Fish, Marcus Bean, Lee Holmes, Paul McCallum, Josh Passley, David Cornell, Nyron Nosworthy and Kpekawa.
Robinson was a masterful signing which turned permanent, while Cornell was purely goalkeeping cover not required to appear.
Awford was keen to keep Bean, only for Wycombe to offer a longer deal, with the midfielder becoming a key member of the side which reached the League Two play-off final.
Storey's treatment remains puzzling. His loan from Swindon was cancelled early despite three goals and five assists in 22 appearances.
At the time it devastated the youngster, who currently has seven goals in 12 matches for Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Scottish Premiership.
Passley showed glimpses of quality, although his poor timekeeping and attitude took the legs away from all that was good about his stay.
The other seven will never be mentioned in favourable terms by any Pompey follower.
Today Fish is at Ebbsfleet, Drennan at Shamrock Rovers, Holmes with Exeter, Nosworthy alongside Passley at relegation-threatened Dagenham & Redbridge, while Wynter is at League One Colchester.
McCallum, who was banned for seven Pompey games following a sending off against Southend, scored three goals in his first month at Leyton Orient this season.
However, he is currently sidelined for six months with cruciate knee ligament damage.
Then there is Kpekawa.
It was difficult to not feel a genuine sympathy, having interviewed him following that reserve-team performance at Furze Lane.
Polite and eloquent, the youngster so highly-regarded by QPR explained how he had been schooled as a left-back or left-sided central defender.
At Fratton Park, however, he had been asked to operate as a left wing-back for the first time in his career.
Then there was his debut at AFC Wimbledon, hampered by the back spasm suffered while jogging during the first five minutes of his warm-up.
His ability judged upon a mere two games – but the impassioned defence was, in fairness, rather persuasive.
Still, Kpekawa finished the season making his Premier League bow for the R's as a substitute at Leicester.
Last month he was sent on loan to a League Two club, where he has established himself at left-back.
That club is Leyton Orient – Pompey's Boxing Day opponents.

The story takes place on the USS Enterprise under the command of Captain Pike shortly after Spock joins the crew as science officer. It deals with the human crew members' difficulty accepting Spock and his Vulcan ways. It's a bit reminiscent of the TOS episode, "The Galileo Seven" in which Spock's logic puts him in direct confrontation with his Human peers. In this case, Spock's logic and ability to contain his emotions, impress a race engulfed in civil war and help lead them on a path toward peace.
The art is highly stylized. You can tell who the characters are supposed to be but they don't really resemble the actors who played them on-screen. Beroy did a great job recreating the early Starfleet uniforms and Landing Party gear. I think my favourite cover is the "A" even though it has nothing to do with this particular story. I love the movie-era Vulcan design with the Maggie Schpak-style armour.
Thematically, this story doesn't cover any new ground. It is interesting to explore the period when Spock first joined the Enterprise. Overall, I give this book three out of five stars.

I feel very lucky! I'm living the dream. A dream I've had since I was eight," says Tim Pearson, BVMS, MVM, MRCVS, Clinical Director and Owner of Orchard House.
"I've worked in veterinary surgeries across the UK. I realised that I most enjoyed small practices that were part of their local community. Practices where clients knew all the staff and the staff knew their clients and pets, personally.
I came back to Hexham in 1998 to establish the Orchard House Veterinary Centre.
Delivering the highest standards of care was crucial to me. There would be no compromises. I wanted to provide the same levels of equipment and procedures as a much larger hospital. As a result, we offer a full range of preventative, diagnostic and surgical veterinary services to pets in Tynedale. Our centres are in Hexham, Stocksfield and now Bellingham. Over 5000 households already trust us to care for their pets. We hope you will too.
Your pet's health and happiness is our number one priority. It is no surprise therefore that we deliver the highest standards of pet healthcare in Tynedale. We promise to 'care for your pets as if they were our own'."

A story in Sunday's Orlando Sentinel said several MTA members apparently violated the Sunshine Law over the last two months by failing to keep minutes of their one-on-one meetings and, in several instances, by not giving the public notice of the meetings. Five meetings and discussions since September are in question. Participants in a key meeting were MTA Chairman Walter Lowrie, Vice Chairwoman Sue Lewis and Orlando Mayor Bill Frederick.
