Pocklington Dolphins took to the water in their second friendly gala of the season in Scarborough on 10 March
And, with a couple of last minute cry-offs, team manager Sara Redmore just managed to scrape a team together, thanks to the willingness of Louis Percy and Kevin Pickering, who stepped in at the last minute to ensure the Dolphins went with a full squad.
So, after a few last minute changes to the race schedule, it was all systems go. The Dolphins were up against five other swim clubs: Scarborough Swimming Club, Bridlington, South Holderness, Driffield and New Earswick.
The first eight races of the evening were the team medley relay, in which the Dolphins gained two first places, one second place, one fourth place and, unfortunately, four too fast.
So, a good start and something to build on - and they did just that in the next 16 races, which were the individual races, producing two first places, four second places, one third place, three fourth places, two fifth places, and only three too fast, two of which came in the men's open category. Probably for the first time in his illustrious swimming career, one went to the evergreen Kevin Pickering (50m freestyle).
The next four races were the team breaststroke relays, where things definitely went in favour of the Dolphins, as they romped home with three first places and one second place. Then it was back to the last of the individual races, where the Dolphins had mixed results, with three first places, one second place, seven third places and five too fast.
To finish the evening's events were the freestyle team relays and, with one first place, two second places, one third place, one fifth place and three too fast, the Dolphins had a very good night's swimming.
A special mention must go to the Pocklington Dolphins head coach and chairman (for the last 30 years), who has made it into the last four of the prestigious Services to Sport Award to be presented at a dinner evening in Bridlington on Tuesday 8 May.
The final standings were Driffield 182pts, Pocklington Dolphins 167pts, New Earswick 167pts, Bridlington 149pts, South Holderness 98pts, and Scarborough 95pts.
There were a total of 49 personal bests swum, which went to Dan Barker (two), Louis Cameron (three), Joseph Stephenson (two), Adam Ramsden (two), Matthew Foot (two), James Wragg (two), Peter Smith (two), Karl Watson, Sam Clark (three), Sean Minto (two), Kevin Pickering, Damien Stubley, Ben Smith (two), Gemma Marshall (two), Olivia Pickering (two), Sasha Elliott-White (two), Louise Grainger (two), Imogen Minto (two), Rebecca Mardell, Laura Elliott-White, Abbie Pickering (two), Katie Hopwood, Emily Stephenson (three), Claire Briggs (two), Olivia Smith (two), Heather Briggs, and Abi Smith.
Thanks must go to all those that helped - judge, timekeepers (split), team managers and lane end helpers. If anyone has a son or daughter who is interested in joining Pocklington Dolphins, please contact the membership secretary Louise Durkin on 07903 560220 or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Muscle Hypertrophy means muscle growth. If you want to know, how to gain muscle effectively, keep reading this interesting interview with personal trainer Merve.
What exactly is hypertrophy?
Hypertrophy basically means training for growing muscle mass. There are three types of training: maximal power, hypertrophy and strength endurance training. Hypertrophy works muscle fibers type two.
How does a typical workout plan look like?
First of all, muscles are splitted into groups to ensure that there is enough time to recover for them.
In between your training days, this rest is very important. Let's say you work muscle group A on day 1 and muscle group B on day 2. After these two training sessions, you take a day off for muscle recovery and then start over again.
When it comes to sets and reps, you normally never do more than 12 reps per set, 8 to 10 reps are optimal for mucle growth and more than 25 sets in one workout session.
As a warm up, I recommend doing one set without weights to prepare muscles and joints for what is to come. Aim for about 15 to 20 reps for this warm up set. Then start your actual training, doing three to four sets with eight to ten reps.
If I'm just starting my fitness journey and I want to build muscle, should I do hypertrophy training then?
Beginners should always start with strength endurance training until they are able to perform all exercises correctly. After about for weeks, they can transition into hypertrophy training to stimulate muscle growth even more. Hypertrophy training for beginners can lead to very sore muscles and slow recovery and it is so important to perform movements safely and correctly before upping weights. Otherwise, this type of training can do more harm than good.
Who would you recommend using this style of training?
I think, especially woman can benefit from hypertrophy because they are able to tone and define their bodies. They will gain strength und muscles will be more visible – but don't worry that doesn't mean that you'll immediately look like a bodybuilder! Woman have too little testosterone to achieve such a look.
All in all, hypertrophy training is a win-win-thing. The body will look more toned and lean and having more muscle mass also means burning more calories.
To get maximum results, how would you combine diet and training?
To get the most out of your workouts, I have a protein shake immediately after my workout. If you are trying to lower body fat percentage, I'd choose a shake low in carbs and with 0g sugar – according to my experience that works best.
The day before leg day, I load with carbs to provide my body with energy for an intense leg day. Apart from them, my diet always stays the same.

Tell me the worse nightmare you've had as a child
Tell me a lie you've told and have gotten away with- so far.
You're telling me you trust me
Then spill your guts to me…
Tell me the first thought that comes to mind as you wake
What you think before you fall to sleep
Don't leave a stone unturned, tell me everything.
Do you feel comfortable– safe being who you are?
Have you fantasized, things deleterious: physically hurting someone?
What age were when you first touched yourself for the sensation of pleasure?
What age were you when you shared your innocence?
Have you broken someone's heart
Are there apologies you'd like to speak to anyone?
You say that you trust me, tell me what hides in your light, what you do in the dark…
Tell me your all
Your nothing
The outs and ins of who you are.
Trust me,
Tell me.

On 2nd October, the High Court delivered judgment in a significant case on pension security on which ITC Consulting advised.
In the case, a bank, owed money by two individuals, initially succeeded in appointing a receiver over the individuals' pension assets in March this year. The appointment was appealed to the Commercial Division of the High Court.
The issue for the Court to consider was whether it is legally possible for a receiver to be appointed over the assets of pension schemes. The very welcome news for many pension holders is that the Court struck out the appointment of the receiver.
Some of the key points held by McGovern J were as follows:
The Court therefore considered that the characteristics of the pension schemes precluded the appointment of a receiver. The schemes concerned were one member occupational pension schemes and ITC Consulting was appointed by solicitors for the beneficiaries of the pension schemes to give an expert opinion.
The prevailing view in the pensions industry was that pre-retirement benefits were not vulnerable to attack by creditors. However, there was no clear Irish legal authority on the point so the matter was not absolutely free from doubt until the judgment. The 2010 case where a receiver was appointed over Brendan Murtagh's Approved Retirement Fund had also caused concern.
The issue has received significant attention from the media and commentators because for many people their pension is their most valuable asset and the idea that somehow creditors could access their pension was an understandable worry. Thankfully, the judgment has now clarified matters in favour of the pension holders although there is the potential for an appeal to the Supreme Court.
It is important to note that, whilst most Irish pension schemes have the same characteristics as the pension schemes in the case, all scheme documents must be reviewed to ensure that appropriate protections are in place. Advisers should also be conscious of seeking specialist advice before advising clients to transfer from one pension vehicle to another, for instance on retirement or when accessing personal pensions, as they may be moving to a less secure vehicle.

THE Pepsi-Cola Company, struggling to find a way to rejuvenate its flagging overseas sales, is fervently hoping that ''next'' marks the spot.
Pepsi-Cola will return to promoting its flagship soft-drink brand with a single, unified global voice that will again invoke the popular ''Pepsi generation'' appeal to youthful optimism and irreverence. The ambitious advertising and marketing campaign by BBDO New York, carrying the theme ''Generation next,'' begins Sunday in America, then rolls out to the rest of the world.
Consumers' first glimpse of Generation next will come at Super Bowl XXXI, as Pepsi-Cola and BBDO have bought four to four-and-a-half minutes of commercial time before, during and after the game. Bottlers will see the spots at a meeting tonight in New Orleans, the Super Bowl site.
Generation next is the centerpiece of a push by Pepsi-Cola to regain momentum in the cola wars after Coca-Cola recently inflicted a skein of setbacks in markets like India, Russia and Venezuela. Pepsi-Cola had anticipated narrowing Coca-Cola's sales advantage of 3 to 1 outside the United States with efforts that included ''Project Blue,'' packaging and logo changes in 24 European countries backed by a budget of more than $500 million.
''Internationally, Pepsi could use a shot in the arm to bring its performance up to what it has been in North America,'' said John D. Sicher, editor and publisher of Beverage Digest, an industry newsletter in Old Greenwich, Conn. ''The international business is at a crossroads now.''Continue reading the main story
Pepsi's performance overseas has been as effervescent as week-old cola. The Phase 2 of Project Blue, which involves adoption of that color as a counterweight to Coke's signature red, has been delayed. A goal to achieve ''5 by '95'' -- $5 billion in beverage sales abroad by 1995 -- fell more than $1 billion short. And top executives who supervised overseas markets have left the company.
''My guess is that 'Blue' will go to that great home for color schemes in the sky,'' Emanuel Goldman, a beverage industry analyst at Paine Webber in San Francisco, said. (An American test of the blue packaging and logo is so far limited to two markets.)
''Coke is in a wonderful position,'' Mr. Goldman said, because ''it's truly global in the real sense of the word,'' deriving more than 80 percent of its earnings outside the American market. By comparison, Pepsico Inc., which owns Pepsi-Cola, looks to this country for more than 70 percent of its beverage earnings.
''There are challenges we face internationally,'' said Brian Swette, executive vice president and chief marketing officer at Pepsi-Cola in Somers, N.Y., but ''we're confident we're going to return to robust growth and being a formidable competitor to Coke.''
''This campaign is not about our business,'' he added, ''but about connecting with youth worldwide.''
Just as decades ago, when Pepsi-Cola said it ''hit the spot,'' the intent is for Generation next to strike consumers by celebrating and identifying with the emerging youth culture of the next century.
''Pepsi's had a history with 'generation,' '' said Michael Patti, vice chairman and executive creative director at BBDO New York, dating to the original ''Pepsi generation'' campaign in 1963.
''It's something Pepsi can own,'' he added, because ''people will understand it's definitely Pepsi.''
For Pepsi-Cola, the Generation next theme will replace a cacophony of catch phrases in international markets like ''Change the script'' and ''Choice of a new generation.''
In North America, it will be the fifth Pepsi-Cola theme in 13 years, following ''Nothing else is a Pepsi,'' which started in 1995; ''Be young. Have fun. Drink Pepsi,'' which appeared in 1993-94; ''Gotta have it,'' a one-year wonder in 1992, and ''The choice of a new generation,'' which ran from 1984 through 1991.
Generation next, however, runs a high risk. Such attempts to woo younger consumers by producing idealized portraits of their habits, hobbies and hair styles can look ridiculous by embracing evanescent fads or selling too hard. Ask Coca-Cola, which was forced to discontinue OK Soda, a test brand peddled with self-referential ads replete with stereotypes of Generation X.
''We're getting back to the reality of what youth is about,'' asserted Ted Sann, co-chief executive and chief creative officer at BBDO New York, part of Omnicom Group, because Generation next will concentrate on ''the hopefulness, innovation, cheekiness and humor of youth and the affinity of youth for new ideas.''
The premise of Generation next is explained in a fast-paced, music-filled television commercial that Pepsi-Cola may run, bookend style, before and after the Super Bowl. The spot features young boxers, waitresses and fun-seekers, all of whom, Mr. Swette said, are ''positive, in control and lay claim to the future -- the antithesis of Generation X.''
An anthemic song, titled ''Move Over,'' mocks bygone musical styles like ''rave, rap, punk, metal'' and urges viewers, ''Don't do it over, 'cause that's over.'' The song salutes the ''next phase, next place, next face, next rage'' as well as the ''next page, next stage, next craze, next wave.'' At the end of the spot, a globe turns into the Pepsi ball logo.
It's ''subtly against Coke without saying it,'' Mr. Patti said, evoking the traditional Pepsi-Cola depiction of its principal rival as outdated.
Still, stodgy old Coca-Cola has had enough fizz to blunt Pepsi-Cola's plans for growth overseas. Coca-Cola has pursued a unified worldwide campaign, carrying the theme ''Always Coca-Cola,'' since 1993.
''The 'Always' campaign has struck a responsive chord,'' said Bob Bertini, a spokesman for the Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta, ''and momentum is continuing very strong.''
''And brand Coca-Cola is No. 1 among consumers of all ages around the world,'' he added.
While Pepsi-Cola and BBDO are still pondering their Super Bowl ad lineup, Mr. Patti said the spots ''will skew a little younger this year'' to complement the Generation next theme.
Indeed, the contending commercials include a kissing infant, a terpsichorean rite of passage for adolescent grizzlies, larcenous cattle and a spoof featuring the actor Robert Stack, which is reminiscent of the movie ''Airplane!''Continue reading the main story

From the moment we laid eyes on the very first still to the all-new final trailer for Disney•Pixar's Coco, we've been admiring the film's jaw-dropping artwork and mesmerizing burst of colors. We got a chance to talk to Ana Ramirez—visual development artist and book illustrator at Pixar Animation Studios—about how she used her creative freedom to beautifully illustrate artwork for Miguel and the Grand Harmony, her first book inspired by the film. See the talent behind the magic:
Looks like Ana's "just go for it" mentality resulted in a brilliant book! With every rich and expressive stroke, Ana was able to capture details from the vividly action-packed world of Coco—down to Dante's adorable tongue. Catch Coco in theaters on November 22!

MEXICO CITY -- Hundreds of invited guests and members of the media gathered in this city's upscale residential and shopping neighborhood of Polanco over a three-day holiday weekend (the Mexican Revolution Anniversary) for a series of previews, panel discussions and parties celebrating the new Museo Jumex.
An after-party in a sports facility following the contemporary art museum's Saturday previews was scheduled to begin at 10 p.m. and conclude by 4 a.m., but I cannot report with any authority whether revelers did indeed depart at the approach of dawn.
The elegant museum, designed by British architect David Chipperfield, is the brainchild of Eugenio López Alonso, 46, heir to a processed-foods fortune and steward of what is reputed to be the largest contemporary art collection in Latin America. On Tuesday, when the museum opens its doors, the private collection begins to go public in a big way.
CHEAT SHEET: Fall arts preview 2013
I'll have a full review later, including a look at the four debut exhibitions. For now, it's worth noting the rather stark difference between the Museo Jumex and its flashy neighbor perhaps a hundred yards away.

fun with family photos
I think photography was a little more artful when some measure of restraint was required, though we were no professionals when it came to framing a shot. No matter because such a treasury defies documentation and the bounds of sentiment are more lithe and supple. I did rather enjoy coming across a few images of myself and viewing them through a contemporary lens. Against that background, I look like a meme character about to offer possibly questionable advice.
If I remember right, I was in the process of auditioning for television commercials with a talent-scout. I also like me mugging like a little gangster with that floppy hat. And I recall well that Star Wars Christmas bonanza when I got the entire fleet of battle-craft, but looked to be pretty sleepy and fighting exhaustion. What family photos, vaguely recalled hither and yon and not keepsakes adiabatically kept in some cloud, do you wish you had ready access to?

Facial Implants – Dr. Mackenzie in Santa Barbara does Chin and Cheek Implants
For some people, a weak chin can cause a significant imbalance in the appearance of their profile. For others, flat cheekbones don't match the rest of the facial proportions. These patients may benefit from facial implants. Although other areas of the face may also be improved with structural enhancement using implants, the chin and cheek are the most common.
The chin balances the profile, and when it is "weak," it often contributes to imbalances with the nose or neck. Sometimes someone considering rhinoplasty will instead need a chin implant, or possibly both a chin implant and rhinoplasty, to get the best result. A prematurely aging neck can often be improved with just a chin implant if a weak chin is contributing to the profile, or more commonly, added to a facelift as part of a comprehensive approach to the aging jawline and neck. Addressing the problems of a poor jawline and neck in a younger patient may involve liposuction of the neck along with a chin implant.
If your chin problem is more extensive, including problems with your teeth and your dental occlusion, then you may need more extensive jaw surgery and orthodontics. For that, we would refer you to an oral surgeon.
Cheek implants are fairly common facial implants used to give improved structure to flat cheekbones, or to add volume to the aging face when flat cheeks are contributing to a gaunt or hollow look. This may also involve the lower eyelid, and enhance an aging eyelid. Fat injection is often used to add volume to the cheeks and orbit area, sometimes along with cheek implants.
I use both silastic (silicone) and Medpor (porous polyethylene) facial implants.

First of all, thank you for commenting on my last post. I got Typsy when she was a just a few weeks old. I miss her. This post is a scattering of thoughts. Forgive my wayward brain.
A couple of well meaning people have recently asked me why I insist on calling myself an infertile. After all, I have a baby and my IF journey was a minor hiccup when compared with the battles women out their fight with this life altering disease.
This post is a reply to them.
First of all, my IF journey was just that - MY journey. It was life altering. It changed me, it changed how I viewed life. It was my journey, it was my heartache, it was my gut wrenching desire for a baby. Don't claim to understand how I felt.
But there is a bigger reason why I am so open about our struggle to conceive. I openly blog about it. Anyone can Google me and reach my blog and read all about it. I do it so women out there who are struggling with IF silently may reach out. We have NO support system here in India. And I just wish I could reach out to some people and maybe help them a little. Case in point: My friend D had been TTC#1 for 5 years. When I told her about my struggle she opened up. She cried. We talked about it a lot. I had the knowledge which helped her to nudge her RE to move forward to an IUI. D is currently expecting he first baby.
Another acquaintance N was TTC#1 for 7 freaking years. After we talked about it, we realized that HSG was not a part of the tests she had undergone till now, She went ahead and got a HSG done. Guess what? Both her tubes are BLOCKED! I so wanted to go out and sue her RE or something. What if she had known this a little earlier? How many years of heartache might she been saved of? She is currently undergoing IVF.
I am not just talking about infertility, I am just paying it forward.
The questions are starting again "when are you planning on your second baby?" "An only child really gets lonely, you should have another"
Will this ever end? I thought that once I have a baby, people will stay off my case. Not the case. Recently M's 80 something granny asked me that she so desires me to have a little girl. When I told her that the baby will be here in a little over 3 years (unless we get to do a private adoption before that) she said she won't be around for so long, that I should get pregnant and have a baby all ready. I am not working after all. I have all the time in the world!
The worst thing is that all these people know that we had trouble conceiving the first time around, still they insist on being the expert.
My MIL recently asked me to get an HSG. Why? Because I got pregnant a month after my HSG the last time around. Wow, just Wow…
I am saving the best for the last. I was discussing our adoption with a very close friend of mine, I was just bitching about the long wait and how tough it is when she came out with this gem "But what I don't understand is why you need to adopt when you can have your own" own? You mean an adopted child won't be mine? When I told her that TTC wasn't easy for me she came out with another gem "Don't try. Just don't use BC and RELAX".
Are you chuckling yet?
PS: I don't want to jinx it but the CIO (or my version of it "fuss it out") method seems to working. We are not yet sleeping through the night, but we are getting there.

Above: Chuck Prophet at World Cafe Live in Philadelphia Friday night.
It's been about 1-1/2 years since Chuck Prophet [1] made his way to our area, unloading a nasty batch [2] of blues, rock and pop on a crowd at Arden Gild Hall.
This time around, Prophet surfaced at World Cafe Live in Philadelphia Friday with new songs from his latest album, "Let Freedom Ring!"
As always, Prophet was a three-headed monster of Tom Petty, Neil Young and Bob Dylan — wearing his influences on his sleeve as he stomped through a 2-hour set.
In another 1-1/2 years, we just might see Prophet performing on Market Street in Wilmington once the new World Cafe Live opens in The Queen Theater.
But on Friday, seeing Prophet meant a drive north. And it was worth it.
His set included a blistering "Always a Friend," which Prophet co-wrote with Alejandro Escovedo and appeared on Escovedo's Prophet-produced "Real Animal" in 2008.
Prophet even channeled Dylan singing, "I came for youuuuuuu," during his spot-on cover of Bruce Springsteen's "For You" off 1973's "Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J."
And his duet with wife Stephanie Finch — whom he called "the brains behind Pa" — on Waylon Jennings' "We Had It All" was perfectly sparse with just the two of them on stage, singing into a single microphone, close enough to give each other a peck if they wanted to.
An acoustic "Summertime Thing" failed to inspire a promised sing-a-long in the audience, but a rollicking "You Did" had the crowd shouting for more after the encore ended and Prophet and Finch made their way outside to meet fans and sign autographs.
Even though he cracked jokes throughout, Prophet got serious with one of the songs on the new album — "You and Me Baby (Holding On)" — which he dedicated to all those who have lost their jobs or are struggling in this economy.
"Maybe drop by and fill out an application on my way," he sang as he lay down his weary tune. "But when I got there, the whole store was gone. But we're holding on. Yes we are."

Healthy breakfasts + on-the-go snacks are by far the most requested recipes I get. So here you have it… Superfood Flapjacks. These are the perfect solution for busy mornings where there is little to no time for prepping breakfast. And they're full of nutritious and satisfying whole foods that help set you up for a healthy start. I love having these on hand and they're one of my favourite healthy alternatives when I feel like something sweet to go with my morning espresso.
Nutritionally these superfood flapjacks are super rich in fibre, which helps keep blood sugar levels healthy and stable while also promoting healthy digestion. They are also rich in protein and nourishing fats, a wide variety of essential minerals, including zinc and magnesium, as well as B vitamins, all of which are key for healthy energy production. Nutrients that are all ideal for getting you off to a good start in the morning.
|Superfood Flapjacks
- 8-10 soft medjool dates, pitted
- 2 egg whites
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 90 gm (1 cup) organic quick oats
- ¼ cup (30gm / 1oz) almonds, sliced or chopped
- ¼ cup (30gm / 1oz) sunflower seeds
- 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- ¼ cup water
- pinch sea salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- small handful dried fruit - I used dried currants (OPTIONAL)
- ½ tsp cinnamon (OPTIONAL)
- Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F).
- Grease a square baking tray and line with non stick parchment paper (I used a 18 x 18cm (7x7") tray).
- Combine 1 tbsp chia seeds with ¼ cup water, stir and set aside.
- In a high speed blender or food processor* (I used a vitamix) blend together dates, egg whites, coconut oil and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, combine oats, seeds and almonds, baking powder, salt, dried fruit and cinnamon (if using) and mix well.
- Pour the date mixture from the blender over the oat mix and combine well using a spoon. Add the chia seeds, which have thickened to a thick gel-like consistency. The dough should be slightly wet and sticky.
- Scoop the mixture into the lined baking tray and spread out evenly using the back of a spoon.
- Place tray in a preheated oven and bake for 20-25 mins, until golden brown and firm.
- Remove from oven and remove from the baking tray to cool on a cooling rack (cool for about 15 mins before cutting into it).
- Once cooled, cut into squares and serve warm or cold.
- Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

RIGHT NOW four
Artist and academic Johanna Linsley's contribution to RIGHT NOW is a perfect example of the breadth of this project. I really wanted people to feel they could present me with whatever they liked and Johanna's gift of what I like to call Moving. Wanting. Watching. depicts wonderfully the diversity of work I received.
What I love most about this contribution is its complexity. Frankly, it is hard work. We can't glance at it and immediately assign it a thought-process-category - "poem", "photograph", "document", - rather we must (if we want to commence comprehension) take some time to read and look. Once we do this, it is possible to see Moving. Wanting. Watching. as a wonderful play between serious mathematical logic (I think this is what makes it hard work!) and neo-dadaist absurdism (please excuse the tacky -isms, I am but a mere writer).
The crux of it is in the realisation that these two players (logic and absurdism) are by no means mutually exclusive. In fact, Johanna shows us, it makes perfect sense (!) they be coupled.
And for those who decide logic (or absurdism, for that matter) is too much work for them, Johanna ensures you will be visually content: her composition of an A4 Helvetica-covered page is second-to-none.

Thanks to everyone who came to the meeting yesterday--it looks like this year is going to be really productive! We've decided to meet every three weeks, beginning with a brief (~20 min) presentation by one of our members on her/his work, followed by a discussion of a related book that we'll have read in advance.
Our first meeting will be on Wednesday, 31 October in the English Faculty (St. Cross) Building, Room 5 at 2:00pm, and the following will be on Wednesday, 21 November in the same room at the same time. We hope to have a third meeting before the Christmas vacation, but will schedule that closer to the time. Below are brief outlines of what we'll be doing at each meeting:
31 October 2007
Creole Childhoods: memory, autobiography, postcolonialism
Louise Hardwick, Trinity College, 3rd yr. DPhil in French
This presentation will examine two different approaches to childhood by two prolific authors from the Caribbean, Maryse Conde (from Guadeloupe) and Patrick Chamoiseau (from Martinique). Texts considered are Conde's Le coeur a rire et a pleurer (trans. Tales from the heart) and Chamoiseau's trilogy of novels, 'Une enfance creole' (trans. in English 'Childhood').
How do these authors appropriate the motif of childhood to portray the postcolonial condition? What is the relationship between autobiography and fiction in this literature? The French terms 'recit d'enfance' and Lejeune's 'pacte autobiographique' will be discussed. Moreover, does the quest to reconstruct memory assume metaphorical, politicised urgency in the Francophone Caribbean context? Both authors have also produced children's literature, and I will conclude with brief discussion of these works (and bring two texts to pass round the group).
Discussion reading: 'School Days' by Maryse Conde. The whole story is available in English translation on Jstor.
21 November 2007
A Very Powerful and Convincing Mistake:
Pullman's Althusser, via Blake
Anna Sproul, Corpus Christi College, MSt English 1900-Present
Philip Pullman updates William Blake's critique of institutional Christianity to attack the institutions (what Althusser would call the ideological state apparatuses) typical of a capitalist society and these institutions' role in shaping children's identities. Judith Butler notes that Althusser's concept of ideological interpellation resembles "a highly religious scenario of a nominating call that comes from God," and Sproul believes that Pullman's main target, like Blake's, is not so much Christianity as the capitalist greed that acts with the tyranny of a god. Pullman attempts to offer children an alternative model for development - he encourages them to embrace, rather than deny, their unstable identities and view their consciousness as part of a collective sea of Dust rather than something particular. But Sproul doesn't find his alternative model too compelling; the Dust idea is just too logically inconsistent.
Discussion reading: You guessed it--Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials.
Other dates to keep in mind:
27 November 2007
The Christmas Challenge and the National Home in the Oxford School of Children's Literature
Maria Cecire, Keble College, 2nd year DPhil in English
8:15pm in Pusey House, St. Giles
(Talk for the Lewis Society)
Be sure to let us know if you have anything coming up!

On the papal flight from Tel Aviv to Rome, Pope Francis held a news conference. After responding to an Italian journalist's question about the Holy Father's invitation to the presidents of Israel and the Palestinian Authority to come to the Vatican to pray for peace, it was now the turn for an English-speaking reporter to ask a question. Although coverage of the Holy See has been more positive since Pope Francis' election, the English-language media still focuses on either sexual issues or the abuse scandal. So, the reporter said to the pope, "You have spoken with very strong words against the sexual abuse of minors by clergy, by priests. You have created a special commission to confront better this problem on the level of the Universal (world-wide) Church. In a practical sense: we know that in almost all the local churches there are norms which impose a strong moral and often legal duty to collaborate with the local civil authorities, in one way or another. What would you do, when ever a bishop clearly did not honor this, had not observed this obligation?"
Here at The Anchor we think that it is helpful to read the pope's own words answering this question. He said, "In Argentina about privileged people we say, 'He is the son of the father.' In this problem there will not be 'sons of the father.' At this moment there are three bishops being investigated: under investigation, three, and one is already condemned and the punishment to give him is being weighed. There are no privileges. This abuse of minors is a crime so ugly, so.… We know that this is a grave problem everywhere, but what interests me is the Church. A priest who does this betrays the Body of the Lord, because this priest should bring this little boy, this little girl, this young man, this young woman to holiness; and this young adult, this child trusts him and he, instead of bringing them to holiness, abuses them. And this is extremely grave! It is exactly like — I will give an analogy: it is like doing a black mass, for example. You should be bringing them to holiness and you bring him to a problem which will endure for his whole life. Soon there will be a Mass with some people who have been abused, at St. Martha's (where the pope lives), and afterwards a meeting with them. I and them, with Cardinal O'Malley from the [sexual abuse] commission. But about this one should go forward, forward. Zero tolerance."
We all can read what the pope said: that three bishops are under investigation for not following these norms for dealing with clerical sexual abuse cases; that this type of abuse is analogous to participating in a black mass; and that he will be meeting soon with survivors of abuse for Mass and conversation. At the end of the press conference the Holy Father asked for prayers for himself. We definitely commit ourselves to praying for him to be guided by the Holy Spirit in this very important task.
After that question, the pope took more questions, about the Vatican Bank, reforming the Roman Curia, and the Holy See's position on the dispute between Israel and Palestinian Authority about what will be the final status of the city of Jerusalem (since both wish to claim it as their capital). A French reporter asked him to react to Sunday's results of the election to the European Parliament, in which many "populist" parties did well. The pope admitted that he had no time while in the Holy Land to follow the news, so asked the reporter to fill him in. After the journalist said that many "Euroskeptics" (people who would like to end the European Union or dismantle parts of it) had won, the Argentine pope said that he was not an expert on the EU, but added, "You have said a key word: unemployment. This is serious. It is serious because we are in a world economic system in which the center is money, not the human person. In a true economic system, the center must be man and woman, the human person. And today the center is money. To maintain itself and keep itself in equilibrium, this system must move forward with measures 'of rejection.' And babies are rejected — the birth rate in Europe is not very high!" He then recited the very low birth rates of Italy, France and Spain. "Babies are rejected. Old people are rejected." He then mentioned "situations of hidden euthanasia, in so many countries." From that topic he went back to the beginning of his answer, unemployment, and quoted off the top of his head the youth unemployment rates of Italy, Spain and the southern Spanish region of Andalusia (where it is 60 percent). "This means that these is a generation of 'neither-nor.' They neither study nor work and this is very serious! A whole generation of young people is thrown away. For me, this throw-away culture is extremely serious. But this is not only in Europe, it is everywhere, but in Europe one feels it more so. One compares it to 10 years ago, when [they had] the culture of 'the good life' (when the economy was seemingly doing well). It is an inhuman economic system. I didn't fear to write in the exhortation Evangelii Gaudium: this economic system kills."
The Holy Father's answer shows that he is not a slave to one political tendency or another. Rather, he fearlessly gives witness to Christ, Who came to raise up humanity from the depravity of sin. His comments can seem from the right (criticizing euthanasia and the contraceptive/abortive culture) and the left (saying that capitalism, as it is lived right now, is anti-life). As the pope repeatedly said, the center should be the human person, because we have been formed in the image and likeness of God. Whether it be abuse someone has received inside the Church community or the degradation that our society heaps upon humanity, it all is about putting something other than the good of humanity at the center of decision-making. Let us ask Mary, as we end this month in her honor, to help us say to God, "Let it be done unto me according to Your Word," instead of echoing the song "My Way," which often involves figuratively steam-rolling a highway over other people's lives.

Yesterday was the first day of school. My daughter is in grade 4 and she's enjoying riding the school bus by herself. She felt like a grown-up already. No more big brother on the bus with her.
My son is in Junior High and he is taking the public transit now. I didn't want him to ride the bus from home all the way to school. This will mean he will have to commute for over an hour with 2 connecting buses. This will also mean that he will have to leave the house at 7am everyday. No way am I going to let him commute like that during winter time.
This is our arrangement - I drop him off at the bus terminal and from there he will just need to take one bus to school. This is a special service bus exclusively for the students in his school. And later in the afternoon, I will pick him up from the same terminal. I gave him my old cellphone so we could communicate in case there's a delay or any emergency.
I still don't know how much to give him as allowance, but his wallet started with a $5 in change. Out of that, he already spent $1.75 for chips yesterday. I have yet to see what he will spent on today. Maybe $5 is too much for him. Or maybe I should just give him money when he needed it?
I don't remember getting an allowance when I was in high school. Our house was walking distance from school so I go home for lunch everyday. And whenever I needed money, I just ask for it.

Under 23 Rule Continued
6 comments:
- Isaac said...
I think salaries come into play also. A good number of the recent SA players that have skipped college (Newley, Ingles, Forman, Holmes) have been able to seriously consider the NBL on near-even footing with the college path because their offers at the time were comparably strong; Forman was offered a 2+2 as his first deal, and Holmes had a three year deal.
Today, I don't know that teams would be offering anywhere near as much unless players were very likely to make it.
Given that and existing development player positions, this U23 rule is probably a little less necessary.

JR is mad at the league cause hes not in it anymore LOLOLOLOL.
- July 28, 2009 at 1:19 PM
How can you compare college path to NBL path and talk salaries?
One is pro and one is amateur.
But don't forget that young Aussies have to get a decent SAT score to look at a scholarship at a decent level for BB in the States.
A couple of those guys you mentioned would struggle very hard with that exam.
I do remember that when Black and Harvey rejected college they already had top marks in their final school year in Australia. Both had excellent SAT scores also.
Wonder if they regret it?
Parents were encouraging their kids to finish school at lower colleges in the States as they had neglected studying big time in Australia due to sports' commitments. They needed something academically to fall back on after BB. As weak as some of the degrees are, they are recognised here after 1 more year of study.
The attraction is not going to wane.
It's very tempting.
It's a great experience.
What harm can it do? You can come back to the NBL but not the reverse.
- July 28, 2009 at 3:11 PM
- Isaac said...
The reason I mentioned money is that, at the time, an example of a college player returning to the NBL was Axel Dench. Let's say he wasn't going to make the NBA, so effectively had four years in a college program before returning to $100-120k (guessing).
Then look at what those other four players would achieve in roughly the same space of time - a contract stepping up each year to more or less the same end-point. At the time of their signings, the 36ers' contracts with Holmes and Forman included covering their study+books+laptop, car, etc.
Think of it as choosing between post-graduate study (and coming out hoping for a better salary afterwards) and going straight into the workforce (and working your way up the chain) - there's not really a right or wrong path and the choice will depend on the individual.
- July 28, 2009 at 8:31 PM
If this Under23 rule was serious, why is there NO LIST of under23 eligible players on the BA site? Why is their no identification program for this rule? Why is there no national education program provided by BA to assist these players?
The rule is just a reason for BA to say they are helping development of this sport. They're not, they're holding the ELITE NATIONAL COMPETITION back. If this was our ELITE NATIONAL COMPETITION, wouldn't you want the BEST OF THE BEST contracted?
isntead of the rule they got, why dont BA encourage ALL NBL TEAMS to unify their development programs and strucutre so that there is a NATIONAL development program that ALL NBL TEAMS implement. Therefore if a kid growing up in victoria who has been identified, decides to play under say coach gleeson in townsville, least he'll know he is getting the same development and mentoring as in victoria. Lets get some continuity from bottom aged (16-18 yr old) in development, as you can pick up a diamond in the rough who can ball nbl early (newley) or develop and create a strong enough relationship send them to college adn you know if they dont make it big time,they'll be back at the club theyve developed their game at.
end point, no real thought into the under23 rule, just like every otther BA driven concept!

At every celebration of Mass we re-enact what Jesus did at the last supper as described by St Luke in his gospel:
He took bread, and when he had given thanks he broke it and gave it to them, saying,"This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me." And likewise the cup after supper, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood…"
These words of Jesus, "Do this in remembrance of me" have been obeyed without interruption for nearly 2000 years. Every time we gather for Mass, we know we are there to do what Jesus did, and we believe that in that action Jesus is made present in us. This is why Mass plays the central part in our community.

My story began about 4 years ago in my local FYE CD store as I was perusing the metal section for something to complement my growing collection of power metal releases. I, a lone Viking warrior poised to impale the planet Earth with the fire's of Mount Doom, could not believe what I had gained in weight and I was gutted. I said that, from this moment on, I would lose the weight I had put on – plus more. Not only are a lot of heavy metal fans traditionally closed minded, they're also remarkably self-conscious about how their belly button will look in a bikini or how it will look pierced or decorated with some form of body jewelry. Most of them are just plain weird, but that's why you get the cash up front.

Ports Australia is the peak body representing the interests of port and marine authorities in Australia. It has been in existence in one form or another since 1916 when the first interstate harbour conference was held in Melbourne.
Ports Australia changed its name from The Association of Australian Port & Marine Authorities Inc (AAPMA) in October 2007. In February 2009 Ports Australia changed its corporate structure and became a public company limited by guarantee under the Corporations Act 2001.
The mission statement, objectives and set of priority areas which guide the work program of Ports Australia are regularly reviewed to ensure that the organisation best meets the needs of all members.
Ports Australia has a Council comprising all full subscription paying members. This Council elects a Board which addresses key governance and strategic policy matters. The Board elects the Chairman.
The current Chairman is Paul Weedon (Tasmanian Ports Corporation) and the Deputy Chair is Chris Leatt-Hayter (Fremantle). The other Board members are Grant Gilfillan (Port Authority of NSW), Terry O'Connor (Darwin), Roy Cummins (Brisbane), Roger Johnston (Pilbara Ports), Chris Boland (Ports North), Marika Calfas (NSW Ports), Brendan Bourke (Melbourne) and Stewart Lammin (Flinders). Ports Australia embraces the principle of broad representation of the interests of its members on the Board. The next election for office bearers will be held at the Annual General Meeting in 2018.
Ports Australia has a Secretariat headed by the Chief Executive Officer, Michael Gallacher, who was appointed in April 2017.
Most government owned ports, some privatised ports and most state marine regulatory authorities are members of Ports Australia, as is the Department of Defence through the Royal Australian Navy.
Value of Membership
Membership of Ports Australia gives access to all information on, and participation in, discussions on a wide range of policy and technical issues of common interest and the ability to influence agendas and contribute to ensuring that Members' interests are protected. We strongly believe that a co-ordinated and considered approach to common issues in the areas that our Members represent leads to more efficient and acceptable outcomes rather than piecemeal approaches. Ports Australia is well recognised as an effective and responsible contributor to debates on national issues at the federal level in Australia, and also at the international level through our active participation in IAPH.

As a nation, we all must face the fact that people cheat on one another in a relationship far too often. If a couple is unmarried, it is often easier to make a clean split when adultery breaks the relationship irreparably. However, when a couple is married, cheating may complicate the relationship as well as the divorce.
When is it important to establish paternity?
As an unmarried father in Florida, you may know that it can sometimes be difficult to protect your role in the life of your child. Many parents who were unmarried at the time of the child's birth find that they are able to work together to provide stability and security for their child through mutual agreement. However, verbal agreements do not always work, and it may be necessary to take specific steps to protect your rights as a father.
Looking for hidden assets in a high-asset divorce
You may already realize this, but divorce can bring out the worst in even the most reasonable people. When you add wealth or valuable assets to this already potent mix, the entire situation may devolve into absolute chaos.
This is what divorce judges might tell you if they could
Wouldn't it be wonderful if you were able to have a counseling session with the judge presiding over your divorce? You might be able to find out some tips for achieving the outcome you desire in your case. Unfortunately, this is not possible because your judge is an objective party in all divorces. Speaking so candidly with either spouse would be unethical and wrong.

You could take the organizer that's on top of your desk and put it on the side on the floor to create a little shelf there. That would make your desk feel bigger and more open. Then, I'd suggest looking for a large, cheap frame or bulletin board to go above your desk. My white bulletin board in my room was up-cycled when I found it in the discard pile at church and then painted it white with some $2 acrylic craft paint! I hung it on my wall using some $4 Scotch heavy-duty velcro hangers. You could put the little table up against the wall and move the desk over, and then but the desk topper on the table if it fits. It's hard to tell from this side of the screen. :)ReplyDelete
I'm also a fan of mason jars (you can save glass jars and containers from drinks and sauces and stuff) and of tin cans (just take the wrapper off of empty soup or vegetable cans!) to hold pens and paint brushes, etc. You can also paint these for pretty cheap with craft paint for an added pop of color.
And of course, there's always pinterest.
Hope you figure out a set-up that works for you! :)Replies

Awesome ideas, Betsy! Thank you!Delete
I actually have a ton of vintage jars that I've been collecting for a few years but never gotten around to incorporating them into my room. We'll see what it turns in to. Right now, I feel like I'm spending so much time doing actual craft/sewing projects that I'll never get around to tidying up the space. :)
Thanks so much for your comment! I really love reading them and look forward to hearing what you have to say!

CBS All Access' new comedy series No Activity has an all-star guest cast. In the first two episodes alone, Bob Odenkirk and Will Ferrell show up (and that's in addition to the excellent regular cast, which includes Tim Meadows, Jesse Plemons and Amy Sedaris). But no guest star has anything on J.K. Simmons, who showed up in the recently-premiered second episode to deliver an epic, insane six-minute monologue that goes down as one of the greatest comedy moments of 2017.
Simmons plays an internal affairs officer who gets into Det. Tolbeck (Meadows) and Det. Cullen's (series creator Patrick Brammall) car to observe them after Tolbeck shot a suspect. At first he insists they pretend he's not there, which is impossible, because his simmering presence is truly off-putting, both to the characters and to viewers. But after awhile, he becomes comfortable enough to open up to the detectives about what brought him to San Diego and into their backseat. We won't spoil the monologue for you because it's incredible and you should watch it and let it surprise you. But you should know that it's heartfelt and sad, which makes its appearance in this goofy comedy even funnier.Tim Meadows, J.K. Simmons and Patrick Brammall, No Activity" data-image-credit="Trae Patton, CBS" data-image-alt-text="Tim Meadows, J.K. Simmons and Patrick Brammall, No Activity" data-image-credit-url="" data-image-target-url="" data-image-title="Tim Meadows, J.K. Simmons and Patrick Brammall, No Activity" data-image-filename="171122-no-activity.jpg" data-image-date-created="2017/11/22" data-image-crop="" data-image-crop-gravity="" data-image-aspect-ratio="" data-image-height="1380" data-image-width="2070" data-image-do-not-crop="" data-image-do-not-resize="" data-image-watermark="" data-lightbox="">
The scene was apparently just as funny to film. In speaking with TV Guide, Meadows admits it hard to keep it together on set during Simmons' monologue.
"I felt like I was doing one of those master classes, where you're just sitting and watching somebody who's really good do their thing," Meadows says. This isn't too surprising given that Simmons is, after all, an Oscar winner for Whiplash and that performance is a real standout.
In No Activity, Simmons channels a sublimated version of that Whiplash intensity into his monologue, but without the satisfaction of ever truly exploding. "He never loses his temper, but there's an edge under his dialogue that puts you in a weird place," describes Meadows.
The monologue ends with Simmons inviting the detectives on a deep sea fishing trip, an offer Det. Tolbeck uncomfortably accepts. And when viewers get to see that fishing trip in a later episode, viewers will finally get to see Simmons' character unleash the full weight of his anger on one unlucky tuna in what Meadows describes as "a horror show."
"You have to see it, it's insane," says Meadows. We can't wait.
New episodes of No Activity premiere Sundays on CBS All Access.
(Full disclosure: TV Guide is owned by CBS.)

|Major junctions
|South end

|North end
|at Sioux City, IA
|Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa
|Highway system
U.S. Route 77 is a major north–south United States highway which extends for 1305 miles in the central United States. As of 2005, the highway's northern terminus is in Sioux City, Iowa at an interchange with Interstate 29. Its southern terminus is in Brownsville, Texas, at Veteran's International Bridge on the U.S.-Mexico border, where it connects with both Mexican Federal Highway 101 and Mexican Federal Highway 180.[1]
It is unsigned in and around Dallas, Texas. Its historic segment through South Dakota and Minnesota was decommissioned with the advent of Interstate 29 but otherwise the route has been spared the decommissioning that has shortened other US highways. The route has major freeway sections in Oklahoma City including the Broadway Extension connecting suburban Edmond to downtown Oklahoma City.
The section between the Oklahoma-Texas state line and Waco, Texas is mostly co-located with Interstate 35 and the 35E spur through Dallas, Texas and, where it is co-located, it is not signed.
The two stretches in Texas that are not co-located are a stretch wholly within the city of Denton and a longer stretch from near Red Oak, to Hillsboro, the reason being that US 77 is a separate road between the two, serving the town of Waxahachie.
As of 2004, US 77 Alternate has a northern terminus in Hallettsville, Texas. It rejoins US 77 at Refugio, Texas. While the main line of US 77 passes through Victoria, Alternate US 77 veers to the west to serve Yoakum and Cuero.
The southern end extends from I-37 near Corpus Christi to Harlingen, where it merges with U.S. Highway 83 and runs through the cities of Harlingen, San Benito and Brownsville to its southern terminus at the United States/Mexico border.
A section of U.S. 77 located in the Giddings, Texas area is known as the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Highway.
Another section of US 77, from I-37 to SH 44 in Nueces County, was redesignated I-69/US 77 in 2011.
As of 2017 - US 77 is being co-signed with I-35 E as part of the reconstruction co-signed between Denton and I-635.
In Oklahoma, U.S. Route 77 runs north–south, paralleling Interstate 35, connecting Texas to Kansas and running for 268 miles (431 km) through the central part of the state. It passes through many major cities, including Ardmore, Oklahoma City and Norman, Guthrie, and Ponca City. It has a freeway section, the Broadway Extension, connecting Oklahoma City to its northern suburb Edmond, in addition to sections that are co-flagged with Interstate-35 and Interstate-235.
US-77 runs for 234 miles (377 km) in Kansas. Between the U.S. 40 junction and the Cowley County line is designated as a Blue Star Memorial Highway. In Cowley County, it is the Robert B. Docking Memorial Highway. Near Arkansas City it is the Walnut Valley Greenway.[2]
From Nebraska to U.S. 24 and from K-15 to Arkansas City, it is part of the National Highway System.[2]
In Nebraska, U.S. 77 is a major north–south artery connecting the capital city of Lincoln with outlying areas to the north and south. The highway is designated as the Homestead Expressway from Beatrice to Interstate 80 at Lincoln. In Lincoln, U.S. 77 becomes a full controlled-access expressway before it overlaps with Interstate 80 for about 8 miles. North of Interstate 80, U.S. 77 continues as an expressway to Wahoo, where it becomes a two-lane undivided road. It remains a two-lane highway except for two sections near Fremont, which are four-lane divided highways. The expressway north of Fremont is shared with U.S. Route 275 and Nebraska Highway 91. U.S. 275 and NE 91 separate from U.S. 77 just south of Winslow, Nebraska and U.S. 77 continues north as a two-lane highway until it meets U.S. Route 75 at Winnebago. The two highways run together to the junction of Interstate 129 and U.S. Route 20 at Dakota City, where U.S. 75 breaks off and U.S. 77 continues northward as a divided highway through South Sioux City before exiting the state via the Siouxland Veterans Memorial Bridge.
U.S. Route 77 barely enters Iowa. After crossing the Missouri River via the Veteran's Bridge at Sioux City, the highway ends at a diamond interchange with Interstate 29. Its total length in Iowa is slightly more than four-tenths mile (640 m).[3]
This section has multiple issues. Please help talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)( or discuss these issues on the Learn how and when to remove this template message)
US 77 previously extended north through South Dakota to Ortonville, Minnesota. It followed the current I-29 corridor up to the Toronto, South Dakota area, and then followed current South Dakota Highway 15 north to Milbank, South Dakota. After reaching Milbank, it traveled to the east, concurrently with US 12 to Ortonville, where it ended at an intersection with US 75. Portions of the old highway in the Sioux Falls, South Dakota area exist today as South Dakota Highway 115, and further north, as Moody County road 77A.
U.S. 77 is currently being upgraded between the Mexican border in Brownsville, Texas to Victoria, Texas as Interstate 69E.
