Couple's name: Chamkaur & Lisa Dhaliwal
Location of ceremony & reception: The Starship, Sydney harbour
Brides dress: Carla Zampati
Bridesmaids dresses: Karen Millen
Feel of Ceremony: Everyone feeling comfortable, Not too long, sincere, not cheezy
Number of guests: 150
Music - Down aisle: Escala – Chi Mai / Signing the registry: Wiyathul – Gurrumul Yunupingu / Recessional: Love is in the air – John Paul Young
Time of Wedding Ceremony: 6.30pm
The bride Lisa, her bridesmaids and I boarded the magnificent Starship at King Street Wharf, Darling Harbour at 5pm. The ship is amazing with three levels of luxury with 360 degree panoramic views of Sydney harbour, (the entire boat is made of glass).
It was a perfect amount of time for us to check the last minute details and relax whilst we sailed under the Sydney Harbour bridge and docked at the Opera House Man of War stept to let the groom, groomsmen, family and guests board. The Stars Ship then floated into Farm Cove to anchor for the twilight ceremony.
It was a spectacular evening with the sun lazily setting and the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge as our backdrop. The ceremony was held on the top deck.
The groom's side is Indian and all the sari's were dazzling in the sunlight. I spoke a short Punjabi welcome – 'Sat Sri Akal,' that Chamkaur and Lisa had taught me – the guests loved it!
During the ceremony we performed three rituals, the 1st ritual was drawn from the Sikh wedding tradition. Bride Lisa was presented with three ornate gold bangles which were given to her given to by groom Chamkaur's mother and her two sisters. This ritual symbolises welcoming the bride to their family.
The second ritual was also from the Sikh wedding tradition where groom Chamkaur gave his Lisa's sister a gold ring which symbolized a welcoming to the family as well.
The final ritual was a merging of Chamkaur and Lisa's two different cultures performed at the conclusion of their wedding ceremony. Chamkaur and Lisa had placed their wedding cake, (which Dalvinder from Masterchef series 4 had made), on a small table close to the ceremony area. This ritual symbolised the joining of two families from their two different cultures: through the Western tradition of cutting the wedding cake, and the Indian tradition of feeding one another something sweet.
The ceremony buzzed with excitement and happiness and the swirl of bright coloured saris and gold is etched in my memory. A wedding that I will never forget.
After the ceremony everyone celebrated late into the night floating around the spectacular harbour. I slipped away by water taxi – so much fun but slightly treacherous in stilettos sleeping from one boat to another in the middle of the harbour!
Chamkaur and Lisa are such a vibrant couple. I loved being able to create a ceremony that represented two different cultures and perform it on the magnificent Starship.

Whats a Pain Letter? – Human Workplace.
I stumbled upon an article through LinkedIn that talked about a "Pain Letter", I had no idea what it was and clicked on the link they provided, which took me to this blog post. To me, this is the best way to do a cover letter. It is everything most cover letters aren't – good, but besides that, informative without being boring, brief, and tells the hiring manager that you know about their company and you are the person that can help. Thanks Liz Ryan!

This season the BFI will be celebrating teenagers with their series "Teenage Kicks" but let's be honest, the films we will be queuing up for will be the teenagers that got a little bit lost along the way...and here's why.
Let's look at the origins of the teenage fuck ups, and for us it all started with the book, Bret Easton Ellis' Less Than Zero to be exact. Clay and the gang were at the forefront of fuck ups - parents who did not care, sleep walking through life, type of middle class kids. After that we saw more of them coming to our screens, even with its own adaptation starring Robert Downey Jr and James Spader but while Downey's performance in the film is incredible, they weren't exactly Less Than Zero levels of original movies.
But then like all good trends the 90s kicked in and the angst level went up 10,000 points. Films like Larry Clark's Kids caused complete controversy, for what? Telling a teenager's story, casted teenagers in the roles, and generally showing the teenagers of the world that not all people their age was blonde, bright eyed Hollywood starlets. It was real - kids were making bad decisions and destroying their futures. Believe it or not, it happens.
But what are some of our favourites? If you are heading to BFI for the Teenage Kicks season, you have to check out Thirteen. Written by Nikki Reed and Catherine Hardwicke, the film is loosely based on Reed's early year, and follows a teenage girl's spiral out of control as she gets thrown into a life of drugs and drink by a cool girl from her school.
But there is one thing we have to stress - we're not saying we're going to go out and do drugs and destroy our lives, in fact these are horror stories. We need to proud of the fact that these movies are so raw and unapologetic because if we do, we could educate as well as entertain.

It's that time of year where the sun starts to shine through your child fingerprinted windows, catches the cobwebs and makes the dust glisten in the sun. Maybe that's why it's called a Spring Clean.
I don't know about you but with two very messy boys and a 6 month old who needs constant attention, cleaning can be hard to fit in and it feels like I'm constantly trying to keep on top of it. I decided something had to change and the Mother in Law coming to stay was the kick up the bum that I needed. I managed to deep clean my house over 3 days with the baby and whilst James was working away. I wrote down a plan and stuck to it and now I have a weekly plan to keep on top of it all. If you don't have a baby and have some time to yourself you will probably get it done much quicker.
Here is my Spring cleaning plan, to brighten up your house and reduce allergens. I've broken it down in to steps;
- De-clutter each room. The less that is on the sides and out in the open, the easier it is to dust and the cleaner it is. (If you manage this without weeping in the middle of a pile of
crapkids random stuff, then you are already doing better than me)
- Put away winter clothes and big coats into storage bags and put them in the loft or storage.
- Use a big feather duster to gather up all the cobwebs using ladders to reach the ones you put off getting.
- Dust and clean light fittings.
- Clean the inside of the windows with a water spray and a cloth.
Then I made a plan for each room which included;
- Dust surfaces and wipe down any sticky bits.
- Steam floors and clean/steam carpets if you have any. Bang rugs and air them outside.
- Pull all furniture out and hoover.
- Hoover curtains and blinds.
- Wipe down all woodwork like skirting boards, doors and clean doorhandles.
Extra for the lounge
- Clean the sofa, wash or steam the covers if you can.
Extra for the bedrooms
- Wash all bedding on at least 60c.
- If you can wash your duvet and pillows then do it, if not an airing would do it some good.
- Hoover your bed.
Doing all of the above will reduce the risk of having dust mites. Time4Sleep carried out some research and found that 57% of us are severely at risk of dust mites due to differing hygiene habits. You can find a link to the time4sleep findings here.
Extra for the bathrooms
- Clean toilets.
- Clean bath and shower.
- Steam the floors and walls.
- Wash all bath mats and towels and 60c and put any spare away so they can't gather dust.
Extra for the Kitchen
- Clean inside kitchen cupboards and drawers by pulling everything out and throwing away out of date items. Then wipe them down.
- Pull everything out of the fridge and clean inside.
- Clean the oven and trays.
- Wipe down surfaces by moving everything. Clean all appliances too.
- Clean the inside of the microwave. Half a lemon in a bowl of water for a minute will loosed grease.
- Put the dishwasher on a clean cycle.
- Put the washing machine on a clean cycle or an empty 60c. Clean out trays and filter.
Once you have done all of this pour a glass of wine and put your feet up!
Alternatively, like I thought of doing numerous times over the 3 days, get a company in to do it for you.
Now that it is all done, no one is ever allowed to make mess again! I have also made a weekly rota of things to do. Less on days where I am busier. I will do another post on this and how I plan it.
Do you do a Spring clean?

Eubie Blake in Berlin in 1972 playing several of his most famous compositions,
Charleston Rag, I'm Just Wild About Harry and Memories of You.
Blake was born in Baltimore of two former slaves, and the only one of eight children to survive infancy. He worked first in a bordello, then a Black and Tan Club and then on a medicine show circuit. Blake said he composed the melody of the "Charleston Rag" in 1899, when he would have been only 12 years old, but it was not committed to paper, however, until 1915, when he learned to write musical notation. In 1912, Blake began playing in vaudeville with James Reese Europe's Society Orchestra, which accompanied Vernon and Irene Castle's ballroom dance act.
After World War 1, Blake first joined with Noble Sissle to work as a vaudeville act, and then they worked on Shuffle Along. The Blake-Sissle partnership ended in 1925, but Blake continued to evolve. In 1930, he collaborated with Andy Razaf on Blackbirds, which introduced, among other numbers, "Memories Of You" and "You're Lucky To Me."
Louis Armstrong's classic recording of You're Lucky To Me.
Through the last decades of his life lectured and gave interviews at major colleges and universities all over the world, and appeared as a performer and clinician at top jazz and rag festivals as well as appearing on television as a guest on the Tonight Show with John Carson and Merv Griffin, and was featured with orchestral performances conducted by Leonard Bernstein and Arthur Fiedler.
A 1932 film of Eubie Blake and His Orchestra that includes the Nicholas Brothers
The material in this appreciation is taken from Blake's Wikipedia entry and Ted Panken's article in the August 2017 DownBeat. We close with a clip of Eubie Blake with John Denver as Eubie plays and they announce the Best New Artist award on the 1979 Grammy Awards TV show.

Gary walked through the courtyard of the academy. It has only three minutes since he got there and he already got lost. He looked around and saw a bunch of students and probably a couple teachers. He tried walking over to a door that probably led inside, but when he opened it he saw that it was packed. He just closed the door and went to ask someone for directions. Everyone he asked either didn't know,wasn't paying attention,or didn't reply. He was getting really annoyed because he was going to be late to class if he didn't find out. He walked around trying to find where his next class is but no one knew. He desperately needed to find his next class. He was starting to get tired of just walking around. "Does anybody know where the lecture halls are?" Gary shouted. He looked around and found that nobody responded he started to get annoyed. "Why is nobody helpful around here," Gary asked to himself. He was starting to lose his mind.

Before leaving the house this morning, I posted on Facebook a very inspirational video showing that good deeds enrich your lives and the ones around you endlessly. People responded by sharing it and thanking me for sharing it. It brought some to tears.
I left the house a few minutes early for work so I could stop by the La Cañada Post Office and mail off my state taxes. As I pulled in, I took offense to the giant poster showing Obama with a Hitler mustache, erected by sidewalk demonstrators. How insulting to our president, and even more insulting to the millions who lost their lives under Hitler's power. I ignored them and went in.
The line was only about five people long, but it was passport photo hours, so each person took a long time. I was now next in line, finally. The fidgety lady behind me engaged me in conversation when a woman standing off to the side took my now open window. I said to her, "oh, she was here before." The impatient lady said that she was also here before, but because of Obama, she had to fill out all this other paperwork. A women chimed in behind her, "He should be impeached" and that's when I said, "I don't agree."

We are Swedish but living in London, and started MillaMia in 2009. Our Swedish heritage is hugely important to us. Having lived all over the world as we were growing up, the one constant we had was spending time every summer in Sweden. Eight weeks a year in the countryside of Sweden meant plenty of time to learn traditional crafts such as knitting to pass the time.
Our background influences the MillaMia style which is based on the distinctive Swedish aesthetic - clean and contemporary yet with a fun, bright edge. Qualities ideally suited to children's and baby wear.
As knitters we were not that inspired by the patterns on offer for baby and children's wear in the market today, and realising that there was a knitting renaissance underway, we saw a gap for stylish, modern baby and children's hand knitting patterns. Patterns that had a real design edge but still easy to knit and practical to use.
With a background in fashion design we were able to do something about this gap in the market. Our designs are not constrained by conventional knitting or what has gone before. Taking account of current trends while at the same time directing our collections towards designs that you actually want to make and keep for years. This has allowed us to differentiate our patterns from what is already available today, and by working with the most experienced knitting technicians we have ensured that all the designs are suitable for hand knitting and manageable for most levels of knitters.

Following is a summary of major news and comments in the Hong Kong Economic Journal, the parent publication of EJ Insight, on Tuesday, April 8:
Sell-off in internet, healthcare plays may continue, analysts say
Hong Kong internet and healthcare counters may experience further sell-off in the short term, as more hedge funds are turning to short positions while repricing of risks continue alongside interest rate hikes in certain major economies, analysts said. Tencent Holdings Ltd. (00700.HK) has slid 22.4 percent since it reached its historical high of HK$646 (US$83.3) per share last month, losing a combined HK$269.3 billion market value. Lenders and other traditional economic contributors, in contrast, saw their shares being supported.
HKEx to sell smaller renminbi currency futures to individuals
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Ltd. (00388.HK) is planning to expand its renminbi structured product portfolio to compete with CME Group Inc., said chief executive Charles Li. The plan includes launching renminbi currency futures contracts denominated in a smaller value to draw in individual investors, as well as renminbi currency options, said Li, adding that the exchange will sell, in the coming 12 months, cash settled commodities futures contracts.
Future Fund only targets infrastructure in hard times, Chan Ka-keung says
The proposed Future Fund should only be used to back up government infrastructure construction during economic downturn or at a time the government is in deficit, not as a funding source for supporting current public expenses, Hong Kong's Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Chan Ka-keung told a Legislative Council committee meeting. Chan said it is also more appropriate for the Fund invest in long-term projects of better returns. The establishment of the Fund was proposed by a government-appointed working group on long-term fiscal planning, which warned in a report that the city will run into a structural fiscal deficit in seven years.
Carrie Lam clears legality of academics' electoral proposal
A top Hong Kong government official has given the clearest signal a 2017 political reform blueprint proposed by 18 academics featuring public nomination for the chief executive election fell in line with the Basic Law. Chief Secretary Carrie Lam said the nomination method was in line with their thinking because the power of the nominating committee would not be weakened. One of the academics, Cheung Tat-ming, described Lam's comment as good news, adding their proposal would help the nominating body exercise their power of nomination.
Tsang warns imposing anti-subversion law in Hong Kong rocks rule of law
Legislative Council President Tsang Yok-sing has sharpened his criticism against calls for Beijing to implement an anti-subversion provision in the Basic Law by imposing it through another article in the post-1997 charter. Tsang was commenting on a suggestion by a pro-Beijing lawmaker Priscilla Leung, who argued that Article 18 has provided power for China's national legislature to apply a national law in Hong Kong after consulting a Beijing-appointed Basic Law Committee and the city's government. Tsang warned such move would deal a heavy blow to the rule of law.
US steps up military tactic to counter rise of China
US defence chief Chuck Hagel has announced an upgrading of US-Japan defence cooperation pact and warned China not to bully Tokyo over territorial dispute. During a trip to Japan before he began a three-day visit to China yesterday, Hagel expressed hope for improvement in China-US military ties. Hagel's visits fully reflect Washington's "contact, containment and prevention" tactics aimed to counterbalance China. While seeking cooperation, the US is stepping up strategic rivalry with China.
Anson Chan, Martin Lee US trip positive to Hong Kong, but negative to communists
Although the visit of the democrat duo Anson Chan and Martin Lee to the US has brought about positive outcome with the US taking renewed interest in Hong Kong affairs, its impact is very likely to be negative, HKEJ founder Lam Hang-chi wrote. The pro-communist Hongkongers would insist the city should not have a role in international politics. They would only seek advantage if the city becomes more like a mainland city. It would be sad for Hong Kong and China if they are being seen as more patriotic by lashing out at Chan and Lee.

Stay Cool in Bed
I have noticed that changing temperatures quickly causes facial flushing that lasts for around one to two hours. So at night when I get into bed, I don't cover myself completely with my covers, I try to stay cool and not get too warm. If I do get warm too quickly my nose and cheeks turn red and burn.

DVDs Missing in Action
Too many great titles are still missing from DVD. Here are a few random choices that I would love to see on DVD. Perhaps the less obvious are more interesting. Do you have any favorites missing in action? You can add your suggestions directly to the DVDMIA database by clicking DVDMIA and filling in the form.

John Wayne and William Holden directed by John Ford: that's The Horse Soldiers (1959), a DVDMIA noted by Monte Festog of Frederick, Maryland.
Where are all the Alan Ladd films? Anne-Laure Touron of Naples Florida appears to be a bid Ladd fan, lamenting the absence of such Ladd flicks as Calcutta (1947), Saigon (1948), Santiago (1949) and The Great Gatsby (1949).
In Hartford, Connecticut, Edward Holmes notes the absence of Fellini films 8 1/2 (1963) and The Clowns (1971).
Maitresse (1976), a Barbet Schroeder film, would make a nice addition to the DVD catalog, notes Harlen Welsh of Boston, Mass.
November 13, 2000\
Good call from Vern Dias of Southlake, Texas:. Around the World in Eighty Days (1956) hasn't made it around to DVD yet.
The Producers (1968) is a "little blue blanket" of hilarity before Mel Brooks was ubiquitous. Zero Mostel puts Gene Wilder through hoops.
November 1, 2000\
There are plenty of vintage films still missing from DVD. Landon Henricks of Napoleon, Ohio is looking for storm of releases for films like The Thief of Bagdad(1940), the classic fantasy from producer Alexander Korda,, Lucky Jordan (1942) starring Alan Ladd as a gangster and Pillow to Post (1945) starring luscious Ida Lupino is a daffy comedy.

The template for Kurosawa's Ran, Kagemusha (1980) is still absent from DVD notes Søren Laursen of Denmark.

Göran Berselius in Stockholm, Sweden would like a DVD release of the tight scifi from Richard Stanley, Hardware (1990). Göran also thinks Razorback (1984) an Australian horror exercise directed by Russell Mulcahy.
Boondock Saints (1999) did you say. Interesting title for a film Richard Kreiling of Boca Raton, Florida would like to see on DVD.

Ron Howard directed the underrated Willow (1988), a good candidate for a DVD release as noted by Scott Burchfield of Auburn Hlils, Michigan. This is another of the Lucas controlled titles absent from DVD. Come on, George, let your movies go.
Christmas in July (1940), just one of the wonderful Preston Sturges comedies, is absent from DVD. In fact, all of Sturges' comic gems have not yet been released on DVD. How about a box set as a gift to movie lovers.

Bill Bailhorn from Madison, Wisconsin adds a call for Zulu Dawn (1979). This is the "prequel" to Zulu.
Peter Yates' charming film Breaking Away (1979) still has not seen the light of DVD day. How about it Fox, could you give us a break.
Watching Marlon Brando at his most outrageous can be unpredictable, but watching Marlon Brando outdo Jack Nicholson is a necessary movie fix. So, where's The Missouri Breaks (1976), Arthur Penn's eccentric comic western. Calling MGM.
Anything with Gene Hackman, I always say. Sometimes I'm wrong, but Night Moves (1975), directed by Arthur Penn is a pretty good detective flick that would make a nice DVD. i am merely seconded the nomination by Harold Gervais, one of Chicago's finest, reviewers, that is.

We've had a big gap in listing titles readers note as Missing in Action on DVD. Here are some recent requests:
Bruce, from Shreveport, La. would like to catch Eddie and the Cruisers (1983) do their stuff on DVD.......... Neil Hinrichsen in South Africa astutely notes that Robert Altman's Short Cuts (1993) still has not shown up on DVD nor has the Sally Fields vehicle from Robert Benton, Places in the Heart (1984)........ Doug Anderson in Alexandria Va, thinks it's about time for a release of Miller's Crossing (1990)and The Mission (1986).

The latest is from Mike Ross-Trevor. I can just taste the bilious dialogue......Howie Chen in New York City would like DVD gourmets to get a taste of Ang Lee's The Wedding Banquet (1993). Speaking of weddings, how about A Member of the Wedding (1952) from director Fred Zinnemann and starring Julie Harris.........Robert Wise's clean horror film The Haunting (1963) didn't need much more than some aggressive sound to scare movie goers out of their seats.

My ATC block I have decided is a wooden postcard.
Thanks for looking and thanks for the challenge ladies.
Have a lovely weekend.

UML notation allows you to use a lot of diagrams that help you to prepare a complete software specification. After several years and projects working as a business analyst I want to point out those diagrams that I think are necessary and sufficent. I will not describe how to create individual diagrams (there is a lot of theory, examples, templates in the web) , but what are their goals and advantages.
1. Activity diagram – most important one.
Activity diagram is most important because it is the only one which can be relatively easily understood by a customer or stakeholder. Of course, that diagram should be discussed in the presence of the author (Business Analyst). Although this is a standard UML diagram, I personally substitute it with a BPMN notation that is more understandable to non-technical people and allows for a more detailed description of the relationship between process steps.
2. Class diagram
Class diagram allows you to determine the complexity of the forms (number of fields, types, basic operations). I always create two types of Class diagrams:
- Domain class diagram (conceptual diagram) that allows yout to get the overall relationship between classes (without specifying atributes, operations; just class names). This type of diagram can be discussed with interested non-technicals.
- Logical class diagram (design diagram) which is an extended version of conceptual diagram. This type can be discussed with more technical staff.
3. Use case diagram (with actors)
Specifying Use cases are very useful to determine overall system complexity (not only forms) and system roles/permissions. In addition, describing use cases is a good place to map requirements.
4. Requirements diagram
Specifying all requirements is a good practice, because you can cover system functionality with requirements described by stakeholder/customer. The best way to do this is connect Use cases with Requirements.
5. Sequence diagram
Sequence diagram lets you to describe interactions between objects (classes, actors, etc.). The value of this diagram for the client is not significant, but it is very helpful to programmers in determining the target system structure.
There are also two additional diagrams which helps in more complex specifications/projects:
A1. Data types
If the system is created by different teams / developers, it is useful to create a common list of data types used in the system. For one "text box" or "string" means 50 characters, for the other 250 characters, and yet another set the maximum size allowed by the database.
A2. Component diagram
Component diagram helps to determine the dependencies and limitations of communication with other systems (eg. SSO or user data from Active Directory, financial data from the financial and accounting system).
The above diagrams were sufficient for the IT system specification in most cases. Remember that every project is different and sometimes it may be necessary to have an extra diagram or those that I have listed are too complicated and not necessary.

CFL legend and former Alouettes coach passed away at age 77 on Wednesday.
Don Matthews 'changed the course of my career,' Anthony Calvillo says
Anthony Calvillo retired as pro football's career passing leader. But the first time he met Don Matthews in 2002, five seasons into his Alouettes career, he was nervous and intimidated.
"I wasn't sure what he was going to do with me," Calvillo told the Montreal Gazette Wednesday, upon learning of the death of the legendary Matthews at age 77. "When I had my first meeting with him he basically told me 'Anthony, we're going to build this team around you. You're going to go out there and lead us.'
"To have that type of confidence coming from your head coach really set the tone for the rest of my career," added Calvillo, now the Als' quarterbacks coach. He retired due to a concussion after the 2013 season. "He changed the course of my career. It changed everything for me."
Calvillo, who will be inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in September, passed for 79,816 yards. He was named the Canadian Football League's outstanding player three times, including 2003 under Matthews. Five times Calvillo was named a league all-star, including 2002 and '03 under Matthews.
Matthews coached the Als from 2002 until late in 2006, when he resigned due to health reasons, according to the organization. Montreal won the Grey Cup in Matthews's first season, reaching the championship game in 2003, '05 and '06, after he was replaced with four games remaining by general manager Jim Popp. It might have been a string of five consecutive Cup appearances, but Calvillo was injured before halftime of the 2004 East Division final against Toronto, replaced by the lamentable Ted White.
Calvillo passed for at least 5,000 yards in all but one season under Matthews. He had a career-high 6,041 yards in 2004. A year earlier, Calvillo threw 37 touchdowns, surpassed only by the 43 he produced five seasons later under Marc Trestman.
With recent news that Matthews was in failing health, Calvillo had the opportunity to speak with him Monday night from training camp. The call was arranged by Matthews's wife, Stephanie. Although Matthews couldn't respond, Calvillo thanked him for believing in him and providing him with an opportunity.
"We fed off Don Matthews. He loved to win," Calvillo said. "When you look at what he did before he got to us, he was taking teams to championships, winning. When this guy got a hold of a team, they were going to be a contender. He made us a contender right away."
Indeed, the Als went 9-9 in 2001, losing their final seven regular-season games, which resulted in the firing of head coach Rod Rust with one game remaining. Rust was replaced by Popp.
"Don had this vibe about him. That's what you saw from the outside," Calvillo said. "Once you got the chance to be around him and see what his personality was, it was quite different. He had this persona people enjoyed being around."

Can bring the player perspective to it, Reid said of Pederson. Knows when to crank on the guys, he knows when the pull off. He wants his guys to make sure they enjoy the game. There were also instances were players would trip over their own teammates, which I guess would be considered realistic but I would have liked to have more control and have the jump button work a little better. The throwing mechanics were highly improved, and good quarterbacks were almost too good as they could dominate using the pass lead option. The defense was good except for the major gripe I have with the "ball hawk" feature.
Former Professional AthletesThe starting salary of a professional athlete working as a commentator with ESPN is much higher than a traditional commentator or radio personality. Former athletes receive this higher salary because of the instant notoriety and ratings boost that athletes' names bring to television programs or game commentaries. Former professional athletes who develop into successful commentators can earn extended contracts valued in the millions of dollars.
Both have done extraordinary work this season, too. The Panthers lost their top wideout, Kelvin Benjamin, in training camp, yet their passing game has been strong and they led the league with 500 points. Rivera has coaxed the maximum out of so many players on the roster, from the All Pros such as Newton, Mike Tolbert (35), Kalil and Norman to the likes of Coleman and Ginn..
Can be a fun addition to any bachelor party. This game requires that players try to make shots that the previous player just made for points. If a player misses a shot, he will acquire a letter until they spell out "horse." At which point, he is out.

Bank Stadium on Monday night with the New Orleans Saints not with a chip on his shoulder but with a closing argument to make.It was classic Adrian during his Wednesday conference call with Minnesota media.Peterson flooded the zone with self serving details about the severity of his torn meniscus and how he spent 10 grand a week rehabbing, volunteering cheap nfl jerseys his innocence when nobody asked if he was guilty of preserving his career at the expense of the Vikings fading playoff hopes.It was head snapping trying to follow Peterson monologue, which meandered for more than four minutes after I asked whether he left anything on the table in Minnesota. Like a possession or two.
He is the recipient of a National Edward R. Murrow Award (2009) for Hunter, his reporting aboard a nuclear powered, Los Angeles Class submarine in the Atlantic Ocean. He also won the prestigious Associated Press Douglas S. But I fear the angry chaps have rather missed the wholesale nfl jerseys point. This is not surprising. It makes it much easier to keep stamping your feet and maintaining you are right if you wilfully ignore the given argument..
I'm riding the Jaguars and RB Leonard Fournette because of their impressive Week 1 victory at Houston (29 7). I realize the Texans have been distracted by more important life matters, but I thought they would win handily. Jaguars, 17 16. The reason I love Odell Beckham Jr.'s swag is because he's a trendsetter he's wearin' the fancy gloves, fancy cleats. He's got the hair style. When kids are walkin' into a barber shop you're talkin white kids, Asian kids, Indian kids, every single cheap jerseys ethnicity sittin' in the chair, sayin', "Yo man, hook me up with the Odell," that's a big deal.
Top SalariesThe highest 2009 to 2010 salary for a wide receiver was cheap football jerseys $16,251,300, earned by Greg Jennings of the Green Bay Packers, according to the USA Today list of 196 NFL wide receiver salaries. Jennings' salary included roughly $5 million for a base salary and $11.25 million as a signing bonus. Signing bonuses can distort the perception of annual salary as they are typically given when players sign a new multiyear contract.
I have the chance to play now, something I never thought would happen when I was in college, said Meyers, who gained 19 yards on three carries against the Dolphins Saturday.

Now, again, its possible Thomas, Guy and Thomas, Deontre bring some sparkle to the mix this year. Its possible the light goes on for Alex Davis, who strikes everybody as the guy who should be a good pass rusher, but hasnt been so far. Its possible, after his foot injury, Collin Miller, a very good pass rusher in high school and the only recruit Hank Hughes coaxed to sign with NU, is just what the doc ordered..
Alabama's not payingNick Saban north of $11 million because the SEC has a good TV contract (though it helps), and it's not able to have NFL like facilities because of that either. It can do that primarily because it takes in nearly $30 million from donors each year. At a certain point, I'd like to think donors would start to balk if their school is paying a coach $20 million a year, especially if the players continue to get roughly nothing by comparison, but we haven't hit that mark yet.
The networks will also experiment with different types of commercials, according to Herald. Some will be shown in split screen, with an ad on one side and what's happening in the stadium on the other. Fox has experimented with split screens during Nascar broadcasts.
It is a point so obvious, so fundamental, that it is difficult to accept the lack of comprehension on the part of a man and his followers who otherwise swear by the document whose principles underpin it. What follows is fact: On Friday evening, while speaking against the backdrop of a giant American flag, the chief executive of a nation whose constitution protects its citizens speech from governmental interference leveraged the weight of his office to advocate financial retribution against a group of citizens as punishment for their expressing an opinion that he found distasteful. That is what President Donald J.

The Steelers can lock up the division and earn a third straight playoff berth with a win.

Over the past several seasons, the NFL and college football have increased penalties and enforcement for illegal hits to the head and for hitting defenseless players. A July report on 202 former football players found evidence of a debilitating brain disease linked to repeated head blows in nearly all of them. The league has agreed to pay $1 billion to retired players who claimed it misled them about the concussion dangers of playing football..

Don care what the president said. That has nothing to do with me, Cincinnati defensive back Adam Jones said after the Bengals beat the Browns 31 7. I have people who have been in the Army, camisetas frikis that has been over to Iraq, so I have a great deal of respect for the flag.
When one partner was secluded and given decision making autonomy, and had only answer input from the other member, they also performed worse.

Always been a dearth of quarterbacks, Polian said. We survived the wishbone era, which couldn have been more disparate compared to what was done in the NFL. So, we survive the spread and at least they throwing the ball, so they develop stronger arms and, ostensibly, a little bit better accuracy than wishbone guys did.
The Falcons (1 0) certainly didn't look like last season's high scoring team in their tougher than expected win over the Chicago Bears. The Falcons may have been looking past the Bears and toward the Packers. Or they may be suffering from the dreaded Super Bowl hangover.
This is heartbreak to a guy with as big a heart as Bo's. He wanted to help. So he came up with a somewhat crazy plan: Lead a philanthropic peloton across the state like some chamois clad pied piper, drawing attention to places forgotten when the media circus moved on.

For the past four years, Harrison has embodied that ethos, a self made star of the highest order. The very best linebackers excel at two of the three tasks that fall to their position. They rush the passer and stop the run, like the Packers Clay Matthews and the Cowboys DeMarcus Ware, but aren especially useful in pass coverage.

Another reason to cut the weeknight games was the exorbitant costs of temporary support infrastructure. The floodlights at the Central Broward Regional Park are not approved to international standard and organisers had to pay for extra temporary floodlight fixtures to be brought in solely for the first Wholesale Authentic NFL Jerseys two matches. Last year's twin weekend double headers also ended after sunset, with the first game starting at noon and the second at 4pm..
Start off every year kind of the same and Bill will put us through the wringer and have all different things that we need to do as a team and build upon, safety Devin McCourty said. I been here, I would say that one thing we never really had to struggle with coming from him. Loss of Edelman, who has caught 356 passes over the last four years, will certainly hurt the Patriots high powered offense.

QB coach David Lee said Taylor's eyes are "in the right place all the time." Even though Sammy Watkins was sidelined following his foot surgery, Taylor got a lot needed work in with Robert Woods and Charles Clay you could see him making a conscious effort to throw more over the middle of the field. As Taylor explained in length to The News in a sit down interview, he believes he can do exactly what Cam Newton did a year ago. He sincerely believes he can be one of the greatest ever.
I'll go to my grave wishing that I'd been better. I know that I did my best at that time, but it wasn't good enough. When we make mistakes, you got to step up and own them. Was the top paying area for this occupation in 2010, with an hourly mean wage of $31.85 and an annual mean wage of $66,250. Massachusetts was also a top paying state for TV cameramen, with an hourly mean wage of $31.48 and an annual mean wage of $65,470. All of these locations have NFL teams.
Your appreciation for the struggles of past players with money, injuries and off field issues will inform your choices as a director of player development. A player development professional can handle interviews during drafts and league meetings if he is familiar with the latest trends in sports.Warning Prepare yourself and your family for a career of traveling and moving as you become a director of player development. Scouts, personnel directors and other front office professionals may travel with the team each game and get fired if a franchise is struggling.
If my job weren't so tied to covering the NFL, I would boycott it. I would endure my kids watching reruns of "PAW Patrol" and "Peppa Pig" on Sundays. Instead, I will spend the next four months bouncing around NFL stadiums, and the good of the sport will consume me.
A successful fantasy season begins with the creation of a clever team name. Creativity is key in this step. This name will define your team for nearly four months, so pick one that will leave an impression on opponents. The NFL says it has stayed out of the issue of whether Kaepernick should be signed, calling that a matter for individual teams. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has said since the offseason he did not believe Kaepernick was being punto roma rebajas blackballed because of his political stance. Jones and some other owners echoed those sentiments.
Project cost is estimated at about Rs 5,000 crore proposed to be financed with debt equity ratio of 70:30, with NFL's contribution of 26 per cent of the equity. The project is targeted to complete in 2018, it added. The plant will be based on natural gas as feed stock coming from proposed Mallavaram Bhilwara pipe line and raw water will be fed from Sripada Yellampally Barrage already built on Goadavari river..
Yet another pedigreed athletic director is Central Florida's Danny White, who held the same position at Buffalo. White landed at UCF in late 2015 and subsequently hired former Nebraska quarterback and Oregon offensive coordinator Scott Frost as football coach, and former Duke point guard and Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins as basketball coach. Inheriting an 0 12 mess from 2015, Frost guided the Knights to a 6 7 record last season.
According to Dr. Kim Beason, free fantasy football participants are a much larger group than the pay for play football players. Though not all players are in a position to pay to play, it seems that inspiration, camaraderie and competition are some of the defining motivations for players who choose to join fantasy football's paid websites..
Based statistics so far, you would be very impressed with the team. They are averaging a league leading 31.2 points a game and have only permitted 7.2 points a game. They won the 5 games by 26,27,2, 31 and 33 points for a total of 120 points, the second largest in the league.
She helps our quality controls with all the stuff they have to do. She's a hard worker. You don't even notice her because she just goes to work and does what's asked and because of that she's someone we would like to keep around.". For as common as plantar fasciitis is, little is understood in the medical field about the causes of it. There is, however, consensus on what it is technically, an irritation or inflammation in the plantar fascia often accompanied by tiny tears in the fascia itself. While I agree that plantar fasciitis is an overuse injury, I have my own theory on the true cause..
Confusion on RulesMost sports leagues have rules that govern when challenges may or may not be used. This prevents teams from abusing the replay rule to question every call, but also limits the effectiveness of the tools. NFL teams, for example, are allowed just two challenges per game, earning a third only if the first two are successful.
Are all good signs, of course, if not unexpected when a team buys in to a new coach pitch. But what ails Oregon is more than entitlement. As Taggart tries to rebuild fast and in a hurry, he do it with a depth chart for Game 1 that includes 33 freshmen or sophomores..
We respect their efforts to use their platform to make some change and express themselves.

Analysis: The 'Hawks finally make a pick and it's surprising. Instead of going offensive line, they go for the boom or bust defensive lineman. McDowell lacked production along the interior and could benefit from a move to a defensive end spot in a 4 3 or 3 4 front.
RG111 has set many school records including; rushing yards by a freshman: 843, rushing yards by a QB: 843, rushing touchdowns: 13, career rushing touchdowns by a QB: 23, and 100 yard rushing games by a QB: 5. These are just some of the school records that were broken by RG111. I realize that there were other qualified candidates but these are some outstanding statistics.
I like speaking things into existence and being positive, but I dont want to be I dont know if arrogant is the right word but I dont want to overthink it. Im excited. Im hopeful.

To verify that the Roughriders did, in fact, win by 17 points, I re watched TSN telecast of Saturday game. Many of the plays were in slow motion, much like the league video review procedure. Leonard and Willie Jefferson were far too much for the Tiger Cats to handle.
Double bars, then triple bars, followed, with some linemen wearing entire cage like coverings over their faces. Joe Theismann, quarterback for the Washington Redskins, preferred the old style one bar face masks so much that when Riddell stopped producing them, he bent the bar backward and downward on the new version so he could still see the playing field without obstruction. Some players, however, bent the bar upward to protect their noses better.

The high security door specification developed by Wandsworth Borough Council (WBC) and delivered by Soundcraft over four of the nine phases of WBC's FED replacement programme has consistently demonstrated excellent performance.
This specification, often referred to as the 'Multisecure' door, was created with knowledge and improvements from various door specifications between 1982-1992. A number of issues were identified in the old specification. These included the position of the letter plate in relation to the lock, the internal letter box cowl and the speed of the door closer.
The lock selected was the Mul-T-Lock ML 240, or 235, multi point lock. A unique feature of the ML lock is that the two vertical locking bolts are housed within the door, in a 'tube' created by a bespoke, long boring machine, which drills holes through the length of the door. The vertical bolts, combined with three side bolts and a latching option, provide significant security.
The ML240 lock is generally locked from the inside by the use of a thumbturn and locked from the outside by a key. The ML 240 lock does not have a latching action, so a door with this lock cannot shut and latch behind you.
The ML 235 has a latching action and is locked both outside with a key and inside with a key or thumbturn. The latch is operated from inside by a handle, but outside by a key.
Security is enhanced in the Wandsworth specification by the use of powder coated steel frame armour. The frame armour is adjustable and 'wraps' around existing frames – jambs and head – providing more strength than a normal timber frame. The adjustment allows for differing depths of existing frame.
Apart from added security, the use of frame armour eliminates the need to remove existing frames and the frequent problems that this creates. In addition, a typical installation takes between three and four hours and allows for a very clean and tidy operation, which is very resident friendly.
The door itself is a FSC® solid timber cored flush door capable of achieving FD30 performance when part of a door assembly tested to BS476:Part 22:1987 and of satisfying PAS 23/24 so that the contractor can provide Secured by Design certification. If doors are required for conservation areas planted mouldings can be applied to replicate traditional panelled doors, and vision panels, often with six or nine small panes of glass, can be introduced. Door finishes can be virtually any colour, although a rich mahogany is standard.
The specification used for WBC requires the letter plate to be a minimum of 400mm from the lock. This makes it much more difficult to fish to open the door. However, in itself, this is not necessarily sufficient to prevent fishing. A purpose made cowl was attached, by bolts that ran through the door, to the letter plate.
The Wandsworth specification settled on the Perko door closer, which as well as being unobtrusive because it is concealed, is housed in the door and less open to vandalism. This closer is also fire rated for 30 minutes. The Perko satisfies Part M of the Building Regulations.
Whilst providing substantial security, this specification allows the emergency services to gain access within 3 minutes. Demonstrations of the best method of achieving emergency access have been provided by contractors during each of the nine phases of the door replacement programme.

So fortunately I get to play on the computer. I will start off with a nice article on sawmill band wheel speed by Timothy Cook. Mr. Cook runs a sawmill supply and sharpening service and shares his lengthy experience answering questions on his web site. Here is his answer to correct sawmill band wheel speed, very informative.
With a 3.15" pulley on my motor, I will be running at 4230 fpm, which sounds good to me.
The next article is a nice build document on a homebuilt chainsaw mill. I first saw this article on the WoodCentral.com site. It was published with permission from T J Brown's (the builder) site, I turned the article into a resized pdf. Their are some ideas here that influenced my build. This is unique in that it combines chainsaw mill and band saw mill ideas into a unit that is not normally seen.
To download the 28 page article click Homebuilt Chainsaw Mill. Here are a few pictures. Money wise a good quality, large chainsaw will cost more than I paid for my 15 HP motor, but the simpler arch assembly might be more desirable for the woodworker who does only the occasional milling.

*****What is a Fable?
A fable is a short, pithy animal tale, most often told or written with a moral tagged on in the form of a proverb. Thus to convey a moral is the aim of most fables, and the tale is the vehicle by which this is done, providing both an illustration of and compelling argument for the moral.
As a specific development in form and content of the animal tale, the fable is comparatively sophisticated and does not originate as a folktale, though it may make use of folk material, and once composed may be absorbed into a culture and exchanged as traditional oral folklore.
The oldest known fables are either Aesopic (Greek) in origin, or from Asian (Indian and/or possibly Semitic) roots — both dating back several centuries B.C.E.
(From here)
*****What is Mythology?
Mythology is a field of study that is not easily defined, being as much a composite of many other subjects of human inquisitiveness and investigation as it is a unique arena all its own.
Ultimately it might be said that the student of mythology is one who conducts inquiries into some of the most basic concerns of humankind —
— as these have been expressed by the many and diverse cultures in the world both past and present, including one's own, through the traditional spiritual stories — or myths — to be found within them.
- Who are we?
- How was the world made?
- What is the correct manner to conduct oneself during religious ceremonies?
- What is the relationship between inner life and outward appearances?
- What happens to the individual at the moment of death, and after?
(From here)
*****What is Myth?
A myth is a story containing within and having about it certain identifiable characteristics. These are, specifically, that:
A story will have all of the above characteristics else it cannot properly be classified as a myth, but may be a legend or a folktale.
- It is a religious story — no matter from which culture — and will therefore involve the existence and activities of a supernatural being, such as a god, a demigod, a goddess, or several such entities;
- It will seek to explain at least some aspect of the origin or manner of things (where people came from, how rainbows first came to be, why whales have blow spouts, why people and animals feel hunger) if not of the very universe itself;
- It is not an isolated tale but connects up in some significant way with other similar stories within a culture, involving other deities who collectively form a pantheon;
- Its authorship is communally shared, that is, attributable to no single person, and it came into existence through oral tradition, and therefore usually has more than one version;
- It is believed to be essentially true by those in the society for whom it is one part of a cultural mythology.

No agreement between Premier League clubs over overseas TV money
- Author: Rosalie Stanley Oct 05, 2017,
Oct 05, 2017, 0:35
West Brom have only scored four goals in their opening six Premier League fixtures.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has discussed rival Jose Mourinho's Manchester United.
"We have still to play City and United, so there will be opportunities to get closer to them", said Cech.
In an interview days before the start of the season, Danny Rose revealed he hopes Spurs make a couple of signings.
Until then we must make do with the global fixtures, including England's World Cup qualifiers against Slovenia and Lithuania. The Tottenham star has played an influential role in their rise up the table.
But regardless of their current defensive issues, their attack is scary. He has been an effective performer at left wing-back, providing the offensive thrust Mauricio Pochettino requires from his full-backs to help stretch opponents. However, players like Phil Jones and Ashley Young among others have seemingly found new life under Mourinho. Injury to Paul Pogba could well have derailed United's title charge, yet Fellaini's impact has been of the highest standard.
With the season going so well for United so far it seems that luck really is on Jose Mourinho's side and it's all coming up Jose right now.
United have benefited this season from the addition of key figures such as Matic and Romelu Lukaku.
Last season, Mourinho's preferred tactic when playing away against the top teams was to sit back, soak up pressure and try to push for the draw. However, his refusal to pen a new deal meant that if they did not sell the England worldwide over the summer, they will have lost him on a free next year.
Burnley manager Sean Dyche has already made it clear that he believes no changes should be made.
Nobody needs to panic about the 23-year-old's predicament. Sadio Mane, Phillipe Coutinho, Mohammad Salah and Roberto Firmino all started for the first time together against Spartak Moscow in the last Champions League gameweek, and yet Liverpool could not get the victory.
Manchester United's reigning player of the year has started just one Premier League game. Under this format, last season's Champions Chelsea would have received £12m more than bottom placed Sunderland.
Lukaku has been in brilliant form this season.

Visit Mel at Stirrup Queens for more details about this project, it ends today at midnight.
On the past three years I have had to ask myself many hard questions, explored scenarios I never thought I would have to. It starts with a why me, and expands to the 'what if's. What if I never get pregnant? What if I never get to be a mother? What if my husband never gets to be a father? What if we can't adopt? What if I have a miscarriage? What if I keep having miscarriages? What if the treatments don't work? What is we never get any answers? What if we spend a long time pursuing this dream that just might not be feasible? What is having a biological child just isn't meant to be? What if adopting isn't either?
Many of those scenarios came true... we tried treatments that failed, had miscarriage after miscarriages, and we are still not parents. But we survived, if barely. I doubt I could survive many more years like this, and I don't intend to.
Of course, that brings it's own thoughts into mind. If we move on to adoption we will be forced to take many more years in pursuit of being a parent- whereas with trying biologically we were able to take things a month or two at a time.
What if something happens to me or my husband during that time? I ask this even now, what would happen to me if something happened to my husband? I would be more alone than I've ever been in my life. I would face the fact that I lost all my babies, and I lost my husband. After each miscarriage that was the thing that made my chest squeeze shut and feel like the vice-grips were shattering my core- what if he left the house and never came back. How could I survive that? How could I survive losing absolutely everything I wanted, needed, in this life?
What if something happened to me? I like to imagine that my husband would move on, I like to imagine he would eventually find him a new wife, and he would have all the beautiful children he deserves and would otherwise be able to have had if he hadn't married me. But I know it wouldn't be that easy for him, I just like to imagine it would. My husband loves me, and watching me suffer hurts him. What would me dying do?
The loneliness of being infertile, of having had all those miscarriages, has never been so profound as when I look back and wonder what will happen if fate has yet other plans. Life is fragile, car accidents happen all the time, household accidents, fires, underlying medical conditions... What if we put everything on hold for the next few years, save to adopt, and then before we begin the journey something happens to him? Or me? Or after we begin the process, what if we get in a fatal accident? What if one of us doesn't die, but ends up paralyzed?
There are so many unknowns about the future, that it stifles me to even try to imagine how we will get from here to a few years from now. Yet we just spent three years of our life, quite without thought, pursuing a biological child. We took that one day at a time, one cycle at a time, one year at a time... it didn't seem so overwhelming. In retrospect... my god. But to plan that out, to say "Yes, I am going to devote the next three years of my life to this goal and this goal alone... and hope it works out." It's a lot to face, especially knowing that there are so many unknowns.
But then again... what if it works out? What if we do start saving now, what if in three years we planned it out just right and three years from now we bring home a honest to goodness child? Everything we wanted, in our arms? There would be no words for the depth of such an emotion, of such love and devotion. I would finally be able to say that all these years of pain and grief were worth it.

I know babe. I think the wondering is what kills you. Even with a baby, I wonder what our life would have been without the struggle- with the three children we thought we would have by now.

Great post.
You're so right about the wondering. Hoping that whatever choices you make leads you to the child that belongs with you.

I am a special ed teacher who has been around since the 80s, and I remember when Eric Pulier first started out looking for better special ed technology. I was there when he started People Doing Things to help with our needs, and I remember seeing how the things that he wanted to put in schools actually helped the kids. That was really nice to see, and it was something that I thought was a major change for the kids in my classes.
The things that he advocated for were very helpful, and I thought it was nice that he also dealt with people with chronic illnesses and adults who were in need. That made him a hero of mine as I watched him try to help as many people as possible, and I got even more interested when he started using computers to help kids who had major illnesses. I usually did not have kids like that in my classes, but I once had a child with a chronic illness, and she was able to talk to kids like her on Starbright World. It was a social network before we knew we had them, and it was something that I could let the girl talk on while she was in my classroom and the other kid was in their classroom.
I thought it was so cool to see her talking to kids just like her, and her parents told me that it made her feel so much better about how she was doing. She is still living in the area to this day, and I think her life changed because she was able to feel normal when she was talking to someone on Starbright World. That makes life easier for everyone around the kid, and I thought it was very cool of Eric to do such a thing.

For those who know Louisa May Alcott only as the author of some of the most enduring classics of children's literature, "Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind 'Little Women' " will be a revelation. For those already familiar with Alcott's Transcendentalist-boho childhood, her sensational tales of love and horror under the pen name A.M. Barnard and her refusal to diminish her personal and economic freedom by marrying, the dramatically reenacted documentary gives life and texture to a woman of extraordinary talent and determination who became as great a celebrity in her day as J.K. Rowling is in ours.
With Elizabeth Marvel as Alcott and Jane Alexander playing a family friend and early biographer, the film relies on the copious correspondence from the writer and her family, most notably her father, Bronson Alcott, with commentary from Alcott scholars including novelist Geraldine Brooks, who won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 2006 for "March," a fictional imagining of what happened to Mr. March, the father of all those little women, during his stint as a minister in the Civil War.
Even if Alcott had not gone on to become an iconic writer, her life story would be a fascinating reflection of the major social, philosophical and political forces of her time. It's not just that she was a lifelong "tomboy," like the universally beloved Jo March, she was, almost literally, a product of the Transcendental movement.
