Following his work as show runner on the first season of Marvel and Netflix's "Daredevil," Steven DeKnight became one of the names onboard the 'brain trust' of several notable writers assembled to help chart a course for the "Transformers" franchise.
Akiva Goldsman, Michael Bay, Steven Spielberg, and Lorenzo di Bonaventura serve as the supervisors of this 'brain trust' whose job is to produce not just more "Transformers" sequel story ideas but spin-offs, prequels, and possibly even animated films as part of a larger 'Transformers Cinematic Universe'. Speaking with IGN, he explained how it works:
"It's that wonderful thing where features are now taking a page from television and getting people together to really try and plan things out. It was a wonderful experience.
Akiva Goldsman was fantastic and Jeff Pinkner, who's co-writing the fifth [Transformers] movie with him, was phenomenal. Zak Penn… It was just a room full of brilliant, funny, amazing people. And we spent two and a half weeks in physically the best writers room I've ever seen in my life. Paramount pulled out all the stops. It was phenomenal! We laughed and joked and told stories and plotted out.
I can't say what we plotted out, but it was all very exciting and in the next few months we'll see what moves forward and what doesn't move forward. But it was a fantastic experience.
One of the best experiences of that was when Steven Spielberg popped by one afternoon to just sit and talk and hear what we were working on. Everybody was about to throw up, they were so excited."
From the sound of it the big collaboration is done with its initial meetings and larger scale ideas with the writers now awaiting which of their suggestions Paramount is interested in moving forward with. The fifth "Transformers" is expected to hit in 2017.

5 Most Exquisite Wedding Themes Every Guest Will Love
When it comes to celebrating the most special day of your life, making it unique and different from all of the rest is the first thing that comes in your mind. Rightly so, as you must have dreamt that your nuptials would make a lasting impression in the hearts and minds of everyone present in your wedding.
Due to the very reason for showcasing style, personality, and dressing, themed weddings are growing in popularity like never before. They present you an opportunity to divulge your interests, create unforgettable experiences, and include all the aspects of a contemporary or traditional wedding. The fact that flowers, invitations, color palette, food, décor, and toast are so integral to a wedding also makes them true ingredients for wedding themes.
It is a good idea to surprise your guests and you deserve every accolade for making it really exciting. However, if you have decided to give a big thumbs-up to have a specific and unique wedding theme for your nuptials, you probably are a little bit confused what to choose and where to begin from. It is about time you have discussed with your friends, family members, and professionals as to what should be done to bring your wedding ideas to fruition.
OR, you can take a look at the following wedding theme ideas that are enough to blow everyone's mind:
1. Vintage Wedding Theme
The vintage theme for a wedding is so appealing that it will never run out of fashion. Metallic/sequins, lace, and pearl are the center of attention of this special day. You will notice that vintage weddings beautifully revive the elegance of a bygone era. It is characterized by a muted color palette with ivory, shining grey, rose, and gold. Unusual-shaped chandeliers hanging overhead, wooden chairs with medieval floral designs, wedding cake with intricate detailing, vintage wine bottles having customized wine bottle labels wrapped around them – these are some of the special attractions of a vintage wedding theme.
2. Fantasy Style Wedding Theme
If you intend to startle your guests in awe and make an unforgettable dent in their memories, fantasy wedding theme is the most obvious option for you. From bizarre to the exotic, fantasy styled wedding theme will bring out your wildest imaginations. There are so much of ideas to use for the subject of your theme: for example, Game of Thrones minus the bloodshed and gore; wizardry and sorcery for Harry Potter fan club, or a pleasant depiction of Pirates of the Caribbean. Also consider using a magnificent backdrop of Egyptian empire as reviving pyramids, Sphinx, and the land of Pharaohs will surely leave your guests spell-bound. You can also use something really passionate like "A Midsummer Night's Dream" – a Shakespearean theme which celebrates love.
3. Beach Wedding Theme
Nothing is as comforting as you walk by the side of an ocean, cool breeze flowing through your hair, silky sand under your feet, and you are about to take your wedding vows. For too long, it has always been an appealing proposition for couples to tie their knots by a seaside for many reasons. For one, the serene and coastal environs of a beach can make anyone attracted towards it. Such a calm place provides you every opportunity to transform the place something more than just a nautical. You can further make it beautiful and romantic by customizing its décor and ambience in a creative way.
4. Classic Romantic Wedding Theme
This wedding theme is ageless and timeless that keeps returning more often than not. It is characterized by gorgeous white flowers, spring color palette, graceful touches of gold, and lots of candlelight. If you want this theme as your wedding attraction, be ready to include plenty of lovely details, which will stand the test of time. If we talk about outfits, a bright fir-and-flare gown with crystal detailing is fit for the bride, and a classic black tuxedo would look impressive on the groom. Romantic wedding venues are widely known for their ceremonial arches and aisles are lined with a large variety of flowers. The ambience of such a wedding is calm, serene, and comfortable.
5. Ethnic And Multicultural Wedding Theme
Ethnic wedding styles are becoming popular these days because they present a unique way to showcase different cultures and traditions. There is not a better opportunity to embrace one's culture, family, and traditions. Wedding colors and lighting are the key elements that are much needed to pull off this vibrant theme. Apart from these, incorporating music and art will make your ethnic and multicultural wedding even more attractive. Finally, the adornments of the native countries to which your theme will belong, are very important to display at the wedding venue. While, the marriage attire from the bride, groom and all sorts of family and friends ought to be for the reason that ethnic culture. Asian weddings, Celtic weddings, and Greek weddings are among the most trending ethnic wedding themes these days.
Final Thoughts
Wedding day is one of the most important occasions in a bride's or a groom's life and to celebrate it with unique way is even more special for them. If you want your guests to remember your big day and cherish its memories, any of the above mentioned themes will work for you. However, happiness, love, and amity are always at the core of a wedding celebration.

Grace in Small Things 1032: A Good Partner, a Flipped Mattress, Warmer Nights, Lovely Clients, and What Remains
- I've been hanging out with this guy off and on since 1993, and we've been married since 2001, and I still think it's all levels of good.
- We flipped our sad, degenerate mattress! A new mattress would be better, but it's almost like we got a new one now, and it's worth all the future pain I'm looking forward to as my back and hips realign themselves.
- It's warm enough out that I've taken our thicker quilt off the bed. This signals so many great things about spring in Saskatchewan that it deserves its own fireworks and a parade.
- I have had the opportunity to work on websites, content, and social media with some truly lovely human beings over the last few weeks, and they have been a sincerely needed and much appreciated reminder that the entire world is not dark and terrible.
- Love, kindness, patience, joy: these things are still here. They remain, and I have the opportunity to choose them.
Wage a battle against embitterment and take part in Grace in Small Things, a Facebook community that acknowledges and grows gratitude. Join us! (And support my work, if you are so moved.)

Federal Employees
Security Clearances
Getting and keeping a security clearance may be critical to your career and livelihood. This applies to federal government employees and individuals who work for government contractors. When the government to denies or suspends a security clearance, it will issue a Statement of Reasons or a Letter of Intent. You have a brief opportunity – usually only 15 days -- to respond. It is important to talk with an experienced attorney as soon as possible.
Through the security clearance adjudicative process, the federal government examines relevant periods of an individual's life to make a determination on whether the individual is eligible for a security clearance. The process involves a review of several factors:
- allegiance to the United States,
- foreign influence,
- foreign preference,
- sexual behavior,
- personal conduct,
- financial considerations,
- alcohol consumption,
- drug involvement,
- emotional, mental and personality disorders,
- criminal conduct,
- security violations,
- outside activities, and
- misuse of information and technology systems.
There are many misconceptions about how these factors are applied. One very common misperception is that if an individual seeks psychological counseling or take prescribed medication, they will lose their security clearance or become ineligible for a clearance. This is not true. Although emotional, mental and personality disorders may be considered, such conditions do not typically raise a security clearance concern. In fact, the Department of Defense's adjudicative guidelines for determining eligibility to classified information state that a risk may be present when individuals fails to follow appropriate medical advice regarding treatment of a condition or fails to take prescribed medication.
When evaluating whether an individual should have or maintain access to classified information, the government will consider aggravating and mitigating circumstances. Several mitigating and/or aggravating conditions relate to each adjudicative factor.
Our attorneys have helped clients address security clearance concerns at all phase of the process. We guide clients through the application process to ensure that information is correctly and properly presented. We give recommendations to minimize delays and obstacles in the processing of applications. We represent our clients when their clearances are suspended or denied and we help clients fight to maintain their clearances.
Persuasive presentation of an individual's background and personal history can be instrumental to the granting or maintaining of a security clearance. We can help you take actions to ensure that you make a responsive, thorough, and persuasive reply. We can help ensure that you understand the factual allegations against you and which adjudicative guidelines are triggered. We can guide you in gathering the right evidence and make arguments on your behalf for mitigation.
If you are applying for a security clearance, have concerns about keeping your clearance, or have received a Statement of Reasons or Letter of Intent, contact us. Whether you are filing an initial application and need guidance, you currently hold a clearance and are under review, or your clearance is in jeopardy of being suspended or rescinded, we can give you a thorough understanding of which security clearance adjudicative factors may apply to your unique situation and how to preserve and enforce your rights.

Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet: Some Consequences of the "Happy Ending"
Nona Monahin, Mount Holyoke College
Abstract | Prokofiev's Score | Changing the Ending | Consequences | The Introduction | The Fight Scene | Romeo's Introduction | Conclusion | Notes | References
This essay discusses some of the musico-dramaturgical implications of Prokofiev's ballet score for choreographic adaptations of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Prokofiev's original score itself alters Shakespeare's tragedy by giving it a "happy ending," and the popular, better-known "tragic" versions of the ballet are based on a score that represents a later, somewhat problematic, set of compromises. Adapting Shakespeare's plotline to the dancing stage is thus subject to multiple, often conflicting allegiances, as choreographers make choices with regard to how to integrate Prokofiev's already variously adapted musical score into their own vision of the ballet. Reversing the ending of a musico-dramatic work does not automatically alter the affective quality of the entire work, yet any traces of the non-tragic vision in Prokofiev's score would presumably be at odds with Shakespeare, the reinstatement of the tragic ending notwithstanding. I identify several such possible remnants of Prokofiev's original vision (in the overture, Romeo's first entrance, and the first fight scene) and examine choreographic responses to them by Leonid Lavrovsky, Rudolf Nureyev, Angelin Preljocaj, and Mark Morris.

Background information (my backpack)
A good friend of mine planned her first
trip overseas and wanted some tips. Especially what to bring with you. So I described what
you could find in my backpack and most of all that you don't bring much. To help you I
published my list and the comments here
|Hi,So your big
journey begins EXCITING!
Here is what I take with me in my backpack and each journey I take less with me.
My first advice is to start with a good travel guide and when I say a good travel guide I mean a good one like the travel survival kit from the lonely planet, the rough guide is a nice second choice, but for me there are no others!
2. Health
During my travels I experienced that although home in the Netherlands I'm seldom sick, you have to be more careful when you travel in foreign countries. Your not used to their standard of living so it hits twice as hard. I always travel with a lot of pills and other medicine (Even when they are good available like in south America)
First I have different kind of painkillers with me at least one for fevers and one that diminish the effect of inflammation. Something against diarrhea. Not that I use it when I have it because it is better to let it run (juck) but when you have a day of travel it is comfortable. You know you will have some trouble because you are not used to their food even if you watch what you eat and are careful with water. If you have diarrhea keep you waterlevel up. You can use ORS (salt and sucker) to help.
I have all kind of stuff, for travel sickness, for throat trouble, allergies, muscle ace and so on.
Suncream and something on my head is in most countries very important especially when you are traveling at (high) altitudes. watch that UV your not used that here below sealevel.
3. Clothes and other stuff
This depends on the country and the way you travel. But because you never know the weather it is useful to have something for the warm days and when it gets cold have some fleece clothing with you. I have also a rain- and windproof jacket. Take some washing powder with you it is less big then an extra set of clothes.
If you go hiking or (like in China) you are not sure about the quality of the sleeping accommodation, take your own sleeping bag and mat. It is probably of better quality of what you can get over there.
take into consideration that you probably take some souvenirs with you in the form of t-shirts or other clothing.
For China it is a good idea to bring your own cup and waterbottle even your own chopsticks if you want.
4. Papers, money etc.
Make a photocopy of all your important documents, it's easier explaining when they are lost. I myself most of the time have a diary with me and use that for addresses, numbers to phone home (collect call) and important numbers.
If you use a 'money belt' use one that isn't visible and can be worn on your skin otherwise it is an easy target.
In what form to take your money depends on what your travel plan is. Most of the time are travel cheques the best advice (check if it is necessary to take them in US $, because in China Dutch guilders where as easy to use and you don't spend money on change commission twice). I use my creditcard as back up. And depending on the country I have some dollars (or other easy to change money) with me. The use of your PIN-pas is possible in some countries but don't count on it.
5. Extra, photo's, music, books
Taking pictures is a hobby (see the other pages) so I have more then enough film with me but it can be useful to check the price and quality of films available there.
I always travel with music. It's my way of being home when the world around me is getting to me a little.
Books are useful when you travel a lot and have to wait for that train that supposed to be going hours ago. If you take books you don't want to take back home, you can exchange them with other travelers. In China most 'backpacker'-places have a small library that you can use in exchange your book for another.

Yesterday Linz, Archie and I (more on how that went later) travelled into London to meet up with Professor Paul Myers of Pharyngula fame (photos here) along with about 20 others who read his blog. We started at the Natural History Museum which is even more incredible than I remember (from about 20 years ago when I last went).
We were only in there for about 2 hours (not nearly enough time I can assure you) before we disappeared off to the pub where I got to watch Americans drinking real ale, which is less funny than you would imagine, they just, well, drink it…
Met some quite cool people too, Larry, Robin, Louise and Kate being the one's I remember, none of whose contact details I got hold of as we rushed off so quickly but never mind.
The crux of the day out though was realising I seriously need to get me a digital camera, if only so I could have got a photo of the juxtaposition of a church advertising the 'alpha course' with "Discover the meaning of life" written on it, against the backdrop of the Natural History Museum.

Ok, it's time to move on. Next stop - my favourite city Fes.
I've taken the Marrakech-Fes train 4 times already, it's always been consistantly late. The official travel time is 7 hours, but in reality it's more like 8-9, depending on your luck. I usually buy the ticket to the 1st class compartment, with 7-9 hour train ride you learn to appreciate the lack of excessive foot traffic. 1st class compartments are for 6 people, the ticket is around 270DH, if i'm not mistaken. If you want to sit next to the window, specify when buying a ticket, seats are numbered. There are trains to Fes in every few hours. Most comfortable is to choose of course an evening train, you can sleep the bigger part of the trip. On the other hand, a day train allows you to enjoy the sometimes-boring-sometimes-interesting views of passing landscape:
This time i shared a compartment with a French family. They were lugging around some serious gear. By the time i got to the compartment, they had hawked all the overhead luggage compartments with their bulky 8 suitcases, leaving me no choice but to put my backpack on the floor by my feet. They then spent the majority of the trip whining to each other how my bag doesn't let them stretch their legs. Luckily they got off in Rabat.
The 1st class compartment has 6 seats, 3 on each side. So when you're alone in the compartment, you can easily sleep almost at full length. The trouble is, that when a blonde girl is alone in the compartment, it attracts all kinds of unwanted helpers and companions. Every once in a while a guy would come in and sit, usually trying to make casual chit-chat. Sometimes there was a real language barrier but usually a pretend one - me talking back in Estonian: "Vabandage, aga ma ei oska inglise, prantsuse ega ka araabia keelt". If there's a choice between talking to the 40+ men or trying to catch some sleep, the decision isn't hard. In any case, all those sudden visits always end the same way – the conductor comes in, checks the guy's ticket, tells him that this is not his compartment and kicks him out. Muahaha!
In 2008 when Ylle and me made this trip, we took an evening train. And since the compartment was empty, we went to sleep, each on either side. At some point enters a guy. We don't know if he has a ticket or not, so Ylle zips up her legs so he could sit. The gentleman kindly offers Ylle that he can hold Ylle's legs on his lap :). Right, of course. Soon enough, the conductor made his rounds again and threw him out of the compartment, but the similar scheme repeated few times more later. The compartments don't have curtains, that would take care of the unwanted attention problem.
A fair warning about AC: train compartments are also heavily air conditioned. Sometimes you can choose the AC speed yourself, older trains don't have that option. All in all, it can be very cold in the compartment and i remember very well when me and Ylle were huddling under our towels, because we didn't have anything substantially warmer with us. 8 hours of huddling can get you pretty sick by the end of your trip, so be prepared.
Train station in Fes is a shed, the new one is being built. It's going to be one unearthly beautiful building once it's completed, i'll tell you that. When you arrive in the train station, taking a taxi is pretty much your only option. Fes has metered taxis and they are cheap, so go forth and have no fear, my fellow travelers.
He liked very much Karl Fazer's chocolate that we were passing around in the compartment. He also got rather excited about one of Estonian's little delicacy's we had with us: cranberries in powdered sugar. He couldn't figure out what was the berry inside.

Un-American Photos, the First Amendment, and Other Ramblings
By some "real" Americans' standards, this would be an "un-American" photo.
This past weekend, I photographed the ASAA (Alaska School Activities Association) football championship games for the Small School and Large School divisions. I arrived a little late for the first game, where the National Anthem was underway as I arrived at the gate set aside for those with ASAA credentials. I flashed my badge to the woman working the gate – an employee with First National Bank of Alaska, the premiere sponsor for all ASAA state tournaments – and started to proceed in. She told me to stop, that I could not go in because the National Anthem was still ongoing. I told her that I had work to do and kept going, to which she responded, "That's un-American."
This on the heels of Sarah Palin's recent comments suggesting that there are parts of America that are un-American; or Michelle Bachman's suggestion that the media should investigate possible anti-American members of Congress, a sort of Media Un-American Activities Investigation (ala "I have in my pocket a list of 71 employees in the State Department who are members of the Communist Party" and HUAC) – both absolutely ridiculous suggestions in and of themselves. But more ridiculous is the faux-patriotism exhibited by people who do not know the first thing about the National Anthem or the flag. If it is un-American to take pictures during the National Anthem, then a lot of photojournalists are being unpatriotic while exercising the First Amendment right to freedom of the press. Hey, "real" American lady, how else would you get your patriotic images of flag ceremonies and people honoring the flag during the National Anthem without guys like me taking pictures? Besides, Title 36, Section 301 of the U.S. Code does not require that people remain immobile during the National Anthem. Rather, it indicates you should remove cover and put your hand over your heart. If you are military in uniform, you are required to salute. It also provides the option of merely standing at attention. From my own military experience – see last paragraph – it was drilled into me that when out of uniform, you are required to stand at attention; not put your hand over your heart.
But that is not where my diatribe ends. The constant disrespect shown for the flag itself since 9-11 warrants mention. For all of these supposed "good" Americans who ran out and bought a flag after 9-11, I have some questions for you. Why did you not own a flag before then? Were you not patriotic before 9-11? Also, why do you continue to fly your flag on your beater truck long after it has been reduced to a faded, shredded rag, in explicit violation of Section 8(e) of the U.S. Flag Code? And how about you retail operators, who don't know how to hang a flag properly in your stores? When a flag is hanging suspended indoors, the flag field is required to point to the north (Section 7(o)). When hanging on a wall, the star field must be on the upper left corner when viewed from the inside (Section 7(i)). Yet, so many retailers just hang it up there, without any knowledge of how to give it respect. For those of you who display a flag at your home to show your patriotism, did you know that it violates the Flag Code to leave it after sunset if it is not lit properly? Under Section 6(a), it must be "properly illuminated during the hours of darkness."
And then there is the whole flag lapel pin thing. Once again, the corporate media and right wing talkies gave Barack Obama a hard time for not wearing a flag lapel pin. Gov. Sarah Palin showed how really American she was by wearing a hand-made, beaded flag pin at her V.P. debate that was large enough to kill small animals. Yet what does the Flag Code say about wearing the flag on clothing? First, only the immediate family of a person serving in active duty of the U.S. Armed Forces may wear a service lapel pin of a design and manufacture approved of by the federal government. In addition, Section 8(d) provides the "flag should never be used as wearing apparel." Finally, Section 8(i) states the "flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever." Thus, if you are wearing some sort of flag lapel pin to advertise – often for political purposes – that you are a "true, patriotic American," but are not wearing one approved of by the federal government to honor a member of your immediate family who serves in the Armed Forces, you are violating the Flag Code. That means you, Sarah.
And what about flag burning? Well, Section 8(k) of the U.S. Flag Code prescribes burning as the preferred method of disposing of a flag in a dignified manner after it has become too worn.
Of course, this only suggests to the lady at the security gate, and all others like her, that you should know what the hell you are talking about when you call someone un-American or proclaiming yourself a patriot. Perhaps you should also know WHO you are talking to as well. For example, if you are calling someone "un-American" who is a natural born citizen, former Boy Scout (including a member of the Order of the Arrow), a recipient of the American Legion Honor Award and decorated Navy veteran (these all describe me), then you really need to think about what it takes to be an American under your standards. Especially when that American is exercising his First Amendment right, a right he has spent time in uniform defending. Have you, lady?

Nigeria's 2-1 win over Ethiopia in Addis Ababa provides Nigeria an advantaged position on the road to Brazil 2014. However, it took several twists and turns to create a riveting story all on its own. In the end, the 2-1 win was barely deserved but it demonstrated the spirit of an African champion. Below, I provide my review of the game.
Background: The game was on a soggy field and late afternoon heat in a high altitude environment that created difficult conditions particularly for Nigeria. But even Ethiopians took a water break after just 30 minutes. Difficult circumstances, indeed.
The Game and Tactical Issues: Nigeria attempted to slow the pace of the game early mindful of the altitude and the heat. On the other hand, Ethiopia pressured the ball with the sole purpose of disallowing Nigeria any space with the ball and also upping the tempo of the game mindful of their advantage under the climatic conditions. Of course, the focus of this tactic was Nigeria's midfield maestro Mikel Obi who suffered several harsh challenges in the middle. Nigeria was second best as the tactical battle ranged early in the game as Ethiopia forced Nigeria into numerous passing errors as Nigeria sought unsuccessfully to maintain possession. More troubling to Nigeria as well was the condition of the field, which appeared heavy and slippery. Nigeria was lucky to survive the opening half with a 0-0 tie, particularly after a controversial decision when the referee did not give a goal as the ball arguably crossed the line before Oboabona scurried it to safety.
The second half appeared to be a re-run of the opening half with the Nigerian technical bench appearing to wait until midway before making its substitutions in order to counter the altitude. This made sense as the starting eleven was well rested at the half and substituting very early would have been counter productive. But Nigeria was forced to put its plan into play early after the Camerounian referee gave a controversial goal in the 56th minute ruling that a high ball crossed the line before Enyeama caught the ball. Nigeria had to make two quick substitutions to energize the team for a final run to secure at least a draw. This changed the game as Ethiopia switched to relying on a counter hoping to protect its lead. But the refereeing controversy was not over. The referee ignored a clear foul on Musa inside the box as Musa appeared headed for goal in the 76th minute. Then on the penalty that won the game for Nigeria, the rule is clear – the defender should have certainly been sent off. Instead, the referee produced a caution.
Rating Nigerian players (1-5 scale):
Enyeama 4 – He produced great goalkeeping on the day except for the error of misjudging a high ball that led to Ethiopia's goal. He produced confidence and several saves when tested.
Ambrose Efe 2 – Efe made several poor decisions with passes and was AWOL on several occasions particularly in the first half.
Egwuekwe 3 – He was assured defensively at times with his clearances but had wayward passes out of defense. Additionally, he makes errors that make you wonder with poor contact on a few headers.
Oboabona 5 – Outstanding all day. He has not played much for his club but did not miss a beat for Nigeria. He scurried a ball to safety on the line in the opening half. Then he dispossessed Sahdin Said deep in Nigeria's box in the second half.
Echiejile 3 – Echiejile was anonymous in the game for long stretches and put up an average day in the office.
Onazi 3.5 – He was energetic as always but was already panting after just five minutes because of the conditions. Made wayward passes at times.
Mikel Obi 3.5 – This was not his usual day. Ethiopians made sure he felt the tackles and he was repeatedly caught in possession. Made one sublime pass that set Musa free on goal in the second half.
Oduamadi 2 – Largely anonymous and clumsily missed a first half chance when a cross came his way in the opening half.
Ahmed Musa 3.5 – Musa was dangerous on the day as is usual with his speed. He was denied a goal when he slammed a chance against the post and was then denied a penalty after finding his way past defenders.
Emenike 4 – Matched a Nigerian record with at least a goal in five consecutive games. He was constantly dangerous and took the first goal well with a vicious shot from outside the box and took the penalty well after being fouled on way to goal. However, he appeared lost on a few occasions early in the second half.
Moses 2.5 – Moses was also a victim of some harsh tackles and appeared to avoid physical challenges. He provided some good moments but failed to take a one-and-one opportunity in the second half before he was replaced.
Igiebor 3 – Igiebor added energy to the team when he joined the fray and was defensively notable as a midfielder.
Ideye 2.5 – Ideye also brought energy to the team but not much else as he spent time helping shore the middle.
Technical Team 4 – The team had the players playing at a slower pace than usual. This was an excellent move considering the conditions. Then they made substitutions at the right moment to counter the altitude and bring more energy into the team. Importantly, moving a tired but important player like Mikel Obi up while using more energetic players in the middle late not only shored up the middle but left on the field a player who has the most ability to create for others.
Looking Forward: Of course, Nigeria is now in the driver's seat on all accounts. Ethiopia must come out to play in Nigeria in November. Even a 1-0 win in Nigeria for Ethiopia will not be good enough and they must attack in hostile territory.

Supreme Court of West Virginia
November 22, 2017
In re: C.S.
County 16-JA-29
Father R.C., by counsel Teresa C. Monk, appeals the Circuit
Court of Jackson County's December 23, 2016, order
terminating his parental rights to C.S.[1] The West Virginia
Department of Health and Human Resources ("DHHR"),
by counsel Lee Niezgoda, filed a response in support of
petitioner's appeal. The guardian ad litem
("guardian"), Ryan M. Ruth, filed a response on
behalf of the child also in support of petitioner's
appeal. On appeal, petitioner argues that the circuit court
erred in finding that he abused and neglected the child, in
terminating his parental rights, and in refusing to allow him
to be present at the adjudicatory and dispositional
Court has considered the parties' briefs and the record
on appeal. The facts and legal arguments are adequately
presented, and the decisional process would not be
significantly aided by oral argument. Upon our review, we
believe that this case satisfies the "limited
circumstances" requirement of Rule 21(d) of the Rules of
Appellate Procedure and is appropriate for a memorandum
decision vacating the circuit court's order. For the
reasons expressed below, the circuit court's order is
vacated and the case is remanded to the circuit court for the
holding of an adjudicatory hearing in compliance with Chapter
49 of the West Virginia Code and the Rules of Procedure for
Child Abuse and Neglect Proceedings.
April of 2016, the DHHR filed an abuse and neglect petition
against petitioner and the child's mother alleging that
the mother abused drugs, abandoned the child, and failed to
provide the child with necessary food, clothing, and shelter.
The only allegations against petitioner were that he was
incarcerated on a parole violation revocation and that, due
to his incarceration, he abandoned the child. According to
the petition, the child was born while petitioner was
incarcerated on the parole violation and remains
In May
of 2016, the circuit court held a preliminary hearing.
Petitioner did not appear due to his incarceration. It was
noted at the hearing that petitioner was unable to take
custody of the child due to his incarceration. The circuit
court proceeded in his absence but in the presence of
petitioner's counsel. Following the preliminary hearing,
petitioner's counsel filed a motion requesting that
petitioner be transported to the adjudicatory hearing from
the regional jail, or in the alternative, be permitted to
appear by video conference.
in June of 2016, the circuit court held a series of
adjudicatory hearings. Petitioner's counsel renewed her
previously filed motion requesting that petitioner be
transported to the hearing or in the alternative, be
permitted to appear by video conference. The circuit court
denied petitioner's motions and proceeded in his absence.
The court heard the proffers of the guardian, mostly
concerning the child's mother and questioned the
parties' counsel regarding petitioner's crime and
possible parole date. Then, despite the fact that no evidence
or testimony was presented in support of the allegations
against petitioner, the circuit court adjudicated him as an
abusing parent upon a finding that he abandoned the child and
failed to protect the child from the mother's abuse and
October of 2016, the circuit court held a dispositional
hearing. At the hearing, petitioner's counsel again
renewed her previously filed motion requesting that
petitioner be transported to the hearing or in the
alternative, be permitted to appear by video conference.
Petitioner's counsel also requested a continuance. The
circuit court denied petitioner's motion and indicated
that its decision would not be changed by petitioner's
presence at the hearing. No evidence, other than the fact of
petitioner's incarceration, was presented at the hearing,
and there was no evidence on the record that the circuit
court took judicial notice of any prior testimony. On
December 23, 2016, the circuit court terminated his parental
rights to the child. It is from this order petitioner
Court has previously established the following standard of
"Although conclusions of law reached by a circuit court
are subject to de novo review, when an action, such
as an abuse and neglect case, is tried upon the facts without
a jury, the circuit court shall make a determination based
upon the evidence and shall make findings of fact and
conclusions of law as to whether such child is abused or
neglected. These findings shall not be set aside by a
reviewing court unless clearly erroneous. A finding is
clearly erroneous when, although there is evidence to support
the finding, the reviewing court on the entire evidence is
left with the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has
been committed. However, a reviewing court may not overturn a
finding simply because it would have decided the case
differently, and it must affirm a finding if the circuit
court's account of the evidence is plausible in light of
the record viewed in its entirety." Syl. Pt. 1, In
Interest of Tiffany Marie S., 196 W.Va. 223, 470 S.E.2d
177 (1996).
Syl. Pt. 1, In re Cecil T., 228 W.Va. 89, 717 S.E.2d
873 (2011).
appeal, petitioner first assigns error to the circuit
court's failure to conduct an adjudicatory hearing or
gather evidence in support of its adjudicatory findings. We
agree that the circuit court so erred. West Virginia Code
§ 49-4-601(h) provides that any "party or parties
having custodial or other parental rights or responsibilities
to the child shall be afforded a meaningful opportunity to be
heard, including the opportunity to testify and to present
and cross-examine witnesses . . . ." Further, in
addressing the burden of proof at adjudication, we have held
as follows:
W.Va.Code [§] 49-6-2(c) [now West Virginia Code §
49-4-601(i)], requires the [DHHR], in a child abuse or
neglect case, to prove 'conditions existing at the time
of the filing of the petition . . . by clear and convincing
[evidence].' The statute, however, does not specify any
particular manner or mode of testimony or evidence by which
the [DHHR] is obligated to meet this burden.
Syl. Pt. 1, In Interest of S.C., 168 W.Va. 366, 284
S.E.2d 867 (1981).
In this
case, the DHHR proved only that petitioner was incarcerated.
West Virginia Code § 49-4-201 provides that
"'abandonment' means any conduct that
demonstrates the settled purpose to forego the duties and
parental responsibilities to the child."
Petitioner's counsel proffered that petitioner believed
that he would be paroled soon and would be able to
participate in an improvement period. She also proffered that
he wanted the opportunity to testify on his own behalf and
requested that he be permitted to testify regarding his
ability to fully participate in an improvement period and

Koneth has several major continents.
- Inhabited Region: The Inhabited Region of Koneth is a cluster of 4 continents located near each other. It is actually only 3 continents, but a failed rift on one has created a deep valley which has filled with seawater separating it into two sections. There are numerous islands around the continents.
- Far Eastern Continent (technically same continent as Eastern Continent)
- Eastern Continent (technically same continent as Far Eastern Continent)
- Northern Continent
- Southern Continent
- Major Seas
- Middle Sea: Separates Eastern Continent from Northern and Southern Continents
- Western Sea: Separates Northern and Southern Continents
- Eastern Sea: Separates Eastern Continent from Far Eastern Continent
- World Sea: The planet's sole ocean. Continents are too small and too clustered to divide the ocean into meaningful units.
- Uninhabited Regions: These areas are too far away from the source of humanity for humans to have immigrated.
- Far Continent
- The Far Continent is located on the opposite side of the globe from the cluster of continents making up the Inhabited Region. Until about 35 million years ago, this centered on the North Pole. It began migrating southwards at breakneck speeds (geologically speaking - i.e., around 18 cm/yr), and currently most of it is below the arctic circle. The far north is still covered in ice. Its migration southwards resulted in a general warming of the globe, and a gradual rise in sea level. During its polar period, it had almost no life except around the fringes. Most plant life on this continent is descended from seeds blown from other continents. Most of the animal life are former sea creatures who have adapted to life on land, mostly those animals that had existed on the fringe of the continent during the polar period.
- Little Continent
- Far Continent
The concept of plate techtonics, in a mytholigized form, was understood early on, due to the obvious fit of the continents of the Inhabited Region. Most explain it by some myth involving gods ripping the land apart.

What are the causes of premature damage of the tap, die
Why die prematurely taps, mainly in the following points:
1. through grinding the taps, if the front and rear angles are worn too large to make the knife teeth sharp, it will inevitably weaken the strength of the cutter teeth. In front of the die cutter tooth curve shape, diameter angle, so the sharp tip. Based on this situation, such as cutting hard metals, tapping machine using excessive force, which is easy to collapse the blade.
2. chip breaking groove is bad, chip serious congestion, continue cutting, cutter tooth extrusion collapse or broken tap.
3. knife tooth blunt or adhesion built-up, the cutting chip is easy to accumulate in the tooth, and the product is thicker, the torsional moment of tapping machine suddenly increases, leading to tooth collapse, sometimes even broken tool.
4. cutting tool skew, the cutting layer of thin and thick side while serious easy cutter tooth collapse or broken tool.
5. when tapping hole is too small, a wire rod billet diameter is too large, will damage the knife tooth.
6. when the screw hole is not cut through, the taps have gone through, but they still get into the knife, causing the taps to break.
7. in the process of cutting, turning hinge bar or excessive force, not only into the back, so that the cutting load is increasing, will damage the knife tooth, even broken tool.

"Fashion Designer Fabrice Simon Dies at the Age of 47," in People Weekly, 24 August 1998.***
Since founding his company in 1976, Haitian-born Fabrice was known primarily for eveningwear targeted to the high end of the custom and ready-to-wear markets. He trained as a textile designer. When he turned from textile to fashion design in 1975, not surprisingly he began to work in hand-painted fabrics. His first significant sale was a small number of gowns purchased by the New York specialty shop Henri Bendel. Bendel's was instrumental in establishing the career of many young designers. This was the heyday of Bendel's "open house," where the store's buyers set aside a weekly time to view, sometimes to purchase, work from unknown artists. Typically, these unknowns lacked major financial backing and production resources. More than a few of them were also producing hand-painted silks in limited quantity. It was a labor intensive but otherwise relatively inexpensive way to enter the world of fashion.
Fabrice sought to distinguish his product from others and to expand his market. He found the way when he discovered a selection of beaded motifs originating in Haiti. Fabrice commissioned Haitian beaders and embroiderers to execute his designs, beginning in 1979. Although he still worked with hand-painted fabrics throughout his short career, he is best remembered for his distinctive beaded gowns.
Fabrice's work reflected a contemporary approach to the ancient craft of beading. His gowns were imbued with a modern sensibility, designed from within a frame of reference suggesting a response and asking for a second look. His beaded squiggles invite comparison with the paintings of Joan Miró and with the graffiti found on public buildings. On a dark ground, his abstract designs seem suspended in space, like the lights of a far off bridge at night. More easily read patterns also startle and amuse when worked in bugle beads. Imagine, for example, a beaded gown patterned like an argyle sock, or one inspired by a woven ikat. Fabrice's references included cobwebs and comic strips; he acknowledged trendy street styles without ignoring past traditions.
In his formal menswear collections, Fabrice offered alternatives to the traditional black tie ensemble. He showed silk t-shirts for evening, pairing them with houndstooth or floral damask dinner jackets, or with unstructured smoking jackets for an even more relaxed look. Acknowledging the street influence on his work, Fabrice introduced a bridge collection in 1992 called Graffiti. His nylon, rayon, and Lycra Spandex dresses in stinging colors with contrasting insets or appliqués were sleek and colorful wearable graphics. In his ready-to-wear and in his custom clothes, Fabrice's wit always complemented his artistry.
The extent of Fabrice's fashion reign was brief; he made a major splash and then gave up dressmaking for painting. Though his boldly colorful abstracts received some critical praise, he will be remembered for the flashy beaded gowns wore by a bevy of celebrities, including Iman, Madonna, Natalie Cole, Whitney Houston, Ivana Trump, Shirley MaClaine, and Kathleen Turner. In July of 1998, at the age of 47, Fabrice succumbed to AIDS in New York City.

Rank: Fire Chief
Years Of Service: 1937-1947
Service Award(s):
Chief Stockdale was born and raised in Templeton and attended Templeton schools and graduated from Templeton High School in 1930. Chief Stockdale, like his father Claud before him, worked for the Templeton School District, as the auto shop teacher and chief of maintenance and transportation, retiring after 39 years of service.
Chief Stockdale was the Fire Chief at the time Lester Plumm was killed and other firefighters injured during a garage fire in 1940. During this tenure as Fire Chief, he replaced the fire bell with a siren and purchased the de-partment's first fire apparatus with pumping capabilities. Chief Stockdale would later be the Chief again from 1963 to 1976.

So before I tell you about our weekend I have to tell you what happened to me on Friday.
One stop away from where I have to get off the train I open my bag to get my car key. It's not there. I unpack the entire bag, nothing. I'm starting to get worried but then I decide that I probably left the key in the door.
All the way to the car I'm mumbling to myself: please let it be there, please let it be there, please let it be there …… it's not there!
So I unpack my bag again, still not in my bag.
I have a spare key in the glove compartment. Why? Because I don't usually drive the van the builders do but they didn't want to loose one of the keys so they put it in the glove compartment.
I decide that I have to try and break a window. As I'm walking around the van rattling doors and banging on windows a guy walks past. He stops and asks if he can help me. Thanks, but unless you have a key that would open this car I don't think so.
'Don't you have a spare key at home?'
'I have a spare key but it's in the car'.
'Don't you have a service that you can call to come and open the car?'
'uh no, have you taken a look at this van, it's got a pink toilet in it, it's clearly used by builder boys and I'm only driving it out of sheer desperation' (I couldn't get the toilet out so I just left it there for the builders).
After about 10 min he realizes that he really would not be able to help, whishes me good luck and walks off.
Out of sheer frustration I bang one of the windows again and boom! it pops out of the frame.
The guy heard it and runs back, 'what happened?' 'are you ok?'
'Just perfect! The window popped so now I can get into the van'
Then he asks me 'How?' 'What do you mean how' I'm going to climb in the window and unlock the car from the inside.'
Only the window is too high and I'm too short so I have to ask him to hold the window open for me. I stand on the wheel of the car parked next to me and climb in the window. Not the most elegant thing to do. Good thing I was wearing a pair of jeans!
et Voila! I'm in the van, unlock it and get the spare key out the glove compartment (cubby hole). O and I managed to push the window back into it's frame. Don't think it's the most secure window but hey, at least I didn't have to break it.
Now I just have to get Himself to get a new key before I loose this key as well.

Wrapping Up The Weekend - Shopping Edition21.8.11
So this weekend I didn't do much at all. On F riday and S aturday L and I pretty much just stayed at home and watched DVDs, L is sti...
But today, we went to the markets, and then shopping. I had some extra money this week so I was all set.
The markets were amazing today, so much cute vintage stuff. It may have always been there, maybe my style is just changing and different things are catching my eye.
Like this wonderful bracelet. I didn't ask how old it was, but a lot of the stuff the lady had was between 20-50 years old. I saw it, and I knew I had to have it. It was only $8!
And then I saw this cute wee cake stand, it is so gorgeous, and I really needed one but wasn't keen on paying $50 for one... this was only $15!
And then, to add to my addiction, I bought some new shoes! I spent more on shoes today than anything else, which is really bad, but since I had the extra money, I thought I would splurge. Doesn't happen often haha!
I hope everyone has had a great weekend, or if you still have some time to go, I hope you enjoy the rest of it.

Reading Susan Orlean's opinion piece in today's New York Times on the decline in popularity of the German Shepherd sent me back to my childhood when our family had a German Shepherd. I don't remember much about that dog except that he wasn't with us very long — unlike our darling French poodle, who was part of our family until her death.
The one thing I do remember about the German Shepherd was his bark being so forceful that it once knocked down the Christmas cards perched on the fireplace mantle and bookshelves. I was either four or five years old. And I have a vague memory of him biting my brother, which I guess could have resulted in him no longer being a part of the family. The dog, not my brother.
I didn't know until I read Orlean's column that the German Shepherd was once the dog of choice for families across America. It's funny how breeds of dogs are trendy just like designers or food. Call Christian Louboutin and pork belly the German Shepherds of today.
I don't know what the hot dog is now (no pun intended). Well, it's the Labrador Retriever and has been for 20 years by the American Kennel Club standards. But it seems to me that in the last decade it was the Chihuahua. I'd like to think I started that trend when I selected Lucy in 2001 but maybe it had something to do with the "Yo Quiero Taco Bell" ad that started a few years earlier. Breeders couldn't pump out Chihuahuas fast enough to meet the demand of people who stupidly thought that Chihuahuas really could talk. When these pet parents realized their dogs couldn't be taught to speak, they abandoned them and that resulted in shelters full of Chihuahuas.
And then came the Reese Witherspoon hit film Legally Blonde in the summer of 2001 followed by Chihuahua, a song recorded by Swiss artist DJ BoBo that was the summer rage in 2003.
Click to Play!
OK, so maybe I didn't have anything to do with the popularization of Chihuahuas, a breed that has withstood the test of trendiness. Next month Lucy and I will celebrate our 10th year together. I think a party is in order. The Jet Set Pets, a luxury pet travel site Lucy inspired me to create, will officially launch next month so I can have a dual celebration. Oh why not make a trifecta since my birthday is in November as well?
I can hardly believe it's been 10 years since Lucy became my family. She's a terrific little companion and brings such joy to my life — though she can be a handful with that diva attitude of hers. (Honestly, I don't know where she gets it!) A platonic male friend recently asked me if I ever considered becoming a mother because he wanted to have a baby but didn't want to be a husband. I told him that the thought of motherhood never crossed my mind, except becoming a pet parent to Lucy.
And to think, I almost missed that opportunity. I had started shopping for a dog in the spring of 2001 but stopped when my mother fell ill that summer. After she passed away on Sept. 17, 2001, I wondered whether I really wanted to become a pet parent knowing I would likely outlive my four-legged friend. Could I bear to lose something else so dear to me after losing my mother, to whom I was extremely close? But someone told me that I should focus on the years of fun I can spend with a pet rather than the time when nature runs its course. It's like the quote that it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
Who knows how many more years Lucy and I will have together? Chihuahuas live to be around 15 or 17 and both of us are in terrific health. But nothing is promised to any of us. So we'll just continue to enjoy our days together and keep Chihuahuas in the "trending now" category.
Thank you Maggie Smith for the photo of the German Shepherd!

We all live in a time where no one has time and we all want to see fast results. Right? So, even though, I don't like the idea of losing weight fast and getting in shape fast (because when you'll return to your old habits, your weight will fall back, adding few more pounds), I found a homepage with "7 habits that make you fat". Maybe one or few of these habits are actually making you not to lose weight!
Hope that this will help someone,

A group of 31 Democrat and Independent U.S. senators are calling on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to provide information as to why the Bureau has halted its inquiry into the Equifax data breach that potentially exposed the personal information of 145.5 million customers.
According to a report in Reuters, the group of senators sent a letter to acting CFPB director Mick Mulvaney after reports emerged that the CFPB is pulling away from its investigation into how Equifax was hacked. That news resulted in a large amount of criticism from Democrats as well as consumer advocacy groups, who requested that the Bureau restart a full inquiry into the breach.
In the letter, the senators said they want Mulvaney and Leandra English, the CFPB's deputy director, to provide information about the inquiry, including whether it has issued any subpoenas or interviewed anyone at Equifax. A spokesman for the CFPB confirmed receipt of the letter.
According to the previous Reuters report, three sources say Mulvaney has neither ordered subpoenas against Equifax nor sought sworn testimony from executives. The CFPB has also reportedly shelved plans for on-the-ground tests of how Equifax protects data, and also recently rebuffed bank regulators at the Federal Reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency when they offered to help with on-site exams of credit bureaus.

Preparing to Lead
Not only are women hired in lower numbers than their male counterparts, they also leave tech at more than twice the rate of men. This has created a deficit of gender diversity in the tech workforce.By addressing this underrepresentation, we believe we can inspire women to join our industry, and encourage those already in the industry to stay longer, bringing more innovative solutions, delivering business advantages and boosting the collective intelligence of an organization.
As evidenced by numerous research studies, if you want to build teams or organizations capable of innovating, they need diversity. It encourages the search for novel information and perspectives, leading to better decision-making and problem solving.

Environmental education projects in wilderness protected areas.
Bringing Value to Society through Ecology, Sport and Culture.
We are in the proccess of building up our headquarters main office, located in a farmland in Heredia, so we need carpenters, electricians, fountainers, etc.
Also, for the human rigths work, currently we need finantial support to cover costs of environmental-legal research to upgrade water legislation and include water and sanitation as a human rigth in Costa Rica.
We run a nation-wide program to volunteer into wilderness protected areas, so we need volunteer to help in various activities, from patrolling, to scientific research.
In the indigenous community (see mulurbi.com) currently we need to place about 300 signs to identify amazing native trees.
We provide accomodation, meals and transportation to locaton.

Also, fundraising for our legal-environmental research is a must. Currently we are working on new water legislation, to include the human rigth to safe, clean water and sanitation, to better protect watersheds, and upgrade water legislation in general.
Grant Writing is allways needed and welcome. We do have great projects and causes, and we need volunteers and allies to join us and strengthen our work.
Energy and good will ;-)
Our main focus themes are: ecology, sports & culture.
We are a not for profit organization from Costa Rica. We offer several programs, projects and oppotunities for people wanting to help in wilderness protected areas and indigenous communities, combining social causes and environmental responsability.

—I'm going to pause in the narrative and explain about chickens. Here in Hawai'i, moa (Red junglefowl or Polynesian junglefowl) run wild in the woods and everyone's backyards, and they look like this:
I've seen them fly up to people's roofs when scared by dogs, and they like to hang out under my mountain apple tree and eat fallen fruit, so it's a reasonable assumption that it would be a chicken, even if it's a bit weird for it to be in a tree, and as you can see, a brown moa would be a sadly ugly one—
—So I think, "Wow, that's an ugly chicken," and I come completely around the obscuring branch and I come face to face with one of THESE:
That would be an 'io, or Hawaiian hawk, in my backyard, in my mountain apple tree, six feet off the ground and two meters in front of my face. My jaw falls off. She shifts restlessly (gender picked out of a hat, I can't tell the difference by looking) and I've backed off two paces before I can even register, clutching my breadfruit. At which point bird should've been like, "OH SHIT HUMAN" and flown away.
At which point bird was like, "Eh," and proceeded to ignore me completely. She sat on her branch and just hung out, didn't even look at me 99% of the time, even when I moved a little or made a noise, and I just stood and STARED at her, eyes watering at the feeling of how motherfucking privileged I was to be experiencing this. (Endangered species! Symbol of royalty and heavenly power! Motherfucking wild raptor!)
This went on for several minutes and I was starting to get worried that maybe she was injured or something and wondering if I should try to approach her and how I would go about doing so safely when she sort of unconcernedly hopped off the branch and glided a few meters to the lowest branch of the fern tree. I shifted position to continue to watch her from the best combination of Good View and Not Too Horribly Devoured By Mosquitos, and she continued to COMPLETELY IGNORE ME. Over the next bunch of minutes she would occasionally hop up to a higher branch, until she was pretty high up in the fern tree.
...I think she had to be a juvenile. I don't know how else to explain such derpy behavior.
At some point I decided I couldn't justify standing here gawking at her for much longer, so I went back to what I was doing. I walked over to the side of the yard, picked a pineapple and three cherry tomatoes, and came back to check on the hawk. I couldn't see her anymore, even after a good search of the fern tree's branches, so I thought maybe she'd snuck silently out of the tree when I wasn't looking. I continued moving around the yard, circling the fern tree, picked two more pineapples, and then I heard a soft sound and she shot out of the fern tree and dove down into one of the neighbor's yards, like she was hunting something. I didn't hear any undue noises of animal distress, so I guess she maybe didn't catch anything. I ran to the corner of my yard and climbed up on my fence to try and see, and even hopped the fence into the Uyeda's yard to run along the back of their fence, crouching to peer under the fruit trees blocking my view, but I couldn't find her again; all I got for my trouble was the disgruntlement of a few chickens and myself thoroughly molested by our back hedge.
So yeah. I think she must've taken a dive at something in our yard and missed, and flapped up to that low branch to get off the ground, or she was hunting the lizards that were hunting the fruit flies on our fallen mountain apples. I don't know how else (other than "derpy juvenile") to explain why she was sitting so close to the ground in my backyard, in my tree, RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE.
