I just completed my first BEA — Book Expo America– and it was just as overwhelming as I expected. For weeks I received links to panels and events and autograph signing schedules and I was completely blown away by it all. I had no idea what to plan or how to plan so I decided that I would just get there and figure it out.

Three days later, I think I can say I did. Maybe.

First, the exhibit floor was massive with rows and rows and rows of exhibitors. I’ll be honest and say I didn’t even see them all. I was too busy standing in line.

Yep, you heard me right. BEA is all about standing in line.

No we didn’t have to stand in line to see Olivia. She was just wandering the aisles.

This photo doesn’t  give a good picture of the number of lines and the lengths of some of those lines. This was taken on the last morning so the conference had thinned out quite a bit. There were twenty-some-odd lines to get autographs from a vast array of authors.  This photo was taken in the autographing section of the hall, but some authors signed in their publisher’s booths. Like Alle Conde signing CROSSED.

My daughter can thank me later with all those chores I ask her to do.

But the majority of the authors signed at the tables and had thirty to sixty minutes to sign autographs on their books, which they handed out as long as they had copies — or ran out of time.  I was lucky enough to get signed books from Courtney Allison Moulton,  Scott Tracey, Lisa McMann, and one of my favorites:

David Ezra Stein with his book Interrupting Chicken. God love him, he was gracious enough to take a picture with my second grade daughter’s Flat Stanley.

But even with all the basking in the presence of some awesome authors, the highlights of my BEA experience were the YA and MG Buzz Editor Panel discussions. The editors picked the “buzz” books coming out in the fall and then told the audience why they picked them and what excited them about the books.

YA Buzz Books:

*Au Revoir Crazy European Chick is the book I’m dying to read but didn’t get an ARC of. It’s described as Ferris Bueller meets La Femme Nikita.

MG Buzz Books

The Unwanteds is the MG book I can’t wait to read ,and thankfully, I have TWO ARCs, one signed to my nephews. :) This book is being described as Hunger Games meets Harry Potter.

BEA was an awesomely overwhelming experience but I’d do it again in a heartbeat. After spending a day wandering around trying not to look like an idiot, I started to get an idea of how it all worked. By the end, I knew where all the major publishers were, the locations of the stages and where to find the panels. With all of this new confidence,  the next time I come back I think I’ll know what I’m doing. Maybe.

Vlog-- Jenna Interviews Her Mom

I got a new iPhone several weeks ago. My old one was dropping calls like crazy, so I went to AT&T and got the new iPhone 4S with Siri.

Siri’s fun, but my kids LOVE Siri! They are forever changing my name. I have no idea what Siri will call me when I talk to her. They’ve discovered they can tell Siri to play a particular song on my iTunes or a band. They can ask Siri what the weather is going to be so they can be prepared for school attire.

Tonight I was watching the little kids take a bath in my bathroom and while I worked on critiques of Twenty-Nine and a Half Reasons. My my nine year old daughter, Jenna, started playing with my phone. The little kids had gotten out of the bathtub and had gone to their room to get their pajamas on. Then Jenna started “interviewing” me.

Ignore the fact I’m wearing no makeup. AND that my son enters off camera half-way through and Jenna refers to the “naked body” (He wasn’t naked, for the record.) And ignore the shaky camera moves in a few places. What you see is Jenna having fun and she was very pleased with her “interview” so I told her I’d post it. I suspect I will regret it later. ;)

DVD reviews: ‘Personal Shopper’ and ‘Annabelle’ sequel keep activity paranormal

Profile image for Preston Barta
Preston Barta

There’s something about this fun time of year that ratchets up the scare level. Considering we’re a little over a week away from Halloween, horror movie aficionados will be elated that home entertainment is dripping with so much delicious blood.

Personal Shopper

Rated R, 105 minutes.

Available Tuesday on DVD and Blu-ray through the Criterion Collection.

3.5 of 5 stars

Joining the Criterion Collection this week, Personal Shopper follows Maureen (a never-better Kristen Stewart), a personal shopper who refuses to leave Paris until she makes contact with her deceased brother. The siblings were diagnosed with the same heart condition and made a pact to communicate with each other beyond the grave. But Maureen’s life becomes extremely complicated when another spirit contacts her.

Most of Personal Shopper’s intrigue comes in the first half, when our character is slowly trying to figure out what’s going on, as filmmaker Olivier Assayas (Clouds of Sils Maria) creatively plays around with the cards in his deck. But once the story introduces the concept of another spirit, the film loses some traction. This is not an in-your-face film; it wants to exist in your head and to get you thinking more about the psychology of its titular character. While the whole does not equal the sum of the parts, there’s enough to stew on to make it a worthy Criterion purchase.

Extras: The Criterion Collection release includes a new interview with Assayas, a press conference featuring Stewart and other members of the cast and crew, a theatrical trailer and an essay by critic Glenn Kenny.

Annabelle: Creation (4 stars) - The Conjuring universe continues to expand with Annabelle: Creation, a prequel to the 2014 dud Annabelle. The new film once again revolves around the creepy titular doll, Annabelle, that is possessed by a demon and becomes a living nightmare for a group of orphans who learn of its existence.

Lights Out director David F. Sandberg takes a lot of cues from franchise creator James Wan, but he utilizes his own tools for scaring. He allows the story to breathe and injects credibility. It doesn’t even have to be nighttime for Sandberg to make you scream. He builds up dread throughout and unleashes a crowd-pleasing horror.

Rated R, 109 minutes.

Extras: The Warner Bros. Home Entertainment release includes deleted scenes, a making-of, horror shorts, a director’s featurette and audio commentary.

War for the Planet of the Apes (4 stars) - In this third (and maybe final) chapter in the rebooted Planet of the Apes series, we pick up with Caesar (an award-worthy motion-captured and vocal performance by Andy Serkis) and his new society as their fight between the remaining immune humans intensifies, especially when one human leader (Woody Harrelson) is hellbent on making sure only one species survives this “war.”

By the time the film concludes, no real war takes place. There is conflict here, but it doesn’t reveal itself to be a big showdown between apes and humans. This is more of a Moses-like journey for Caesar to lead his people out of bondage and into freedom. It’s beautifully realized and more captivating and unique because of it.

Rated PG-13, 142 minutes.

Extras: The Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment release includes 10 deleted scenes with optional audio commentary by Reeves, six behind-the-scene featurettes, concept art gallery and a feature audio commentary with Reeves.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (3 stars) - You really have to be a David Lynch fan to appreciate Fire Walk with Me, a prequel to Lynch and Mark Frost's earlier TV series Twin Peaks (recently rejuvenated on Showtime). The 1992 film comes from a mind that barely feels a part of this world. So much weirdness happens in its two-plus-hour running time that I wouldn’t put it past anyone turning it off. It really takes a certain kind of mood for one to embark on this voyage of mystery.

David Lynch created a time capsule with <i>Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me</i>.
David Lynch created a time capsule with Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.

The true purpose of the film is correct the path the show’s second season took, which got away from Lynch due to creative differences with the network. It also (sort of) answers the question of why and how Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) died — one of the main mysteries of the series. Plus, to see the series cast come together with new faces (David Bowie and Kiefer Sutherland) in a more obscure light really awakens the Twin Peaks phenomenon. As long as you expect little tangibility, you might find yourself entertained.

Rated R, 135 minutes.

Extras: The Criterion Collection release (available now) includes 90 minutes of deleted and alternate takes from the film, a 2014 interview with Lynch and the cast, new interviews with Lee and composer Angelo Badalamenti, trailers and a special booklet.

Summer of Fear (3.5 stars) - Most movies about witchcraft would be overloaded with computer-generated effects and a busy storyline to send viewers’ heads spinning. But the late Wes Craven is better than that.

His 1978 film Summer of Fear concerns a teenage girl named Rachel (The Exorcist’s Linda Blair) who begins to suspect that her cousin Julia (Lee Purcell) is a witch after she moves in with her family. When the rest of family is charmed by her, Rachel believes she has them under a spell.

For a made-for-TV movie, Summer of Fear is a solid thriller. Craven’s slow-burn structure is quite fitting and it draws audiences in while mounting the family’s suspicions with just the right creepy delicacy.

Rated PG-13. 92 minutes.

Extras: The Doppelganger Releasing DVD (available today) includes an audio commentary with Craven, a new interview with Blair, an original trailer, and a photo and poster gallery.

Also available this week: Bushwick, The Emoji Movie, The Good Catholic, An Inconvenient Sequel, Planetarium, Saving Hope: Season 5, Teen Wolf: Season 6 - Part 2, and Warrior (on 4K Ultra HD).

The Deviant Standard

Traders' preparation for volatile markets.

Browsing Posts in Weekly Stock Pick

ALNY, our weekly stock pick as a short play, has continued to wedge itself deeper into the very long-term triangle we identified over the weekend leaving this stock limited time to make a decision about which direction it wants to go in.  Volume continues to show distribution and confirms what the shape of the triangle suggests: the next move will be down.

ALNY did show sell signals as it bounced from the daily 20 SMA and that could have been an entry.  However, we’ll stick with a break of horizontal support suggested over the weekend.  On a solid break below that level ALNY should have room to run.

  • Share/Bookmark

There were many good short side opportunities last week, but many of them have already started to run and we don’t want to chase.  Hopefully you caught some of them!  If not, there are more good setups this week.  ALNY is one to watch to see how it develops.   From the weekly chart we can see that this stock is testing horizontal support established back in 2007 as well as descending trendline resistance.  One of these will have to give way soon since the two are about to cross.  The challange is figuring out which.

The daily chart provides some clues.  First is that volume has been heaviest on the downside for the past several weeks, with bounces occurring on light volume.  The most recent bounce from trendline support was contained by the 20 day SMA and both our CCI-based and stochastics-based snapbackindicators are showing the likelihood of a snap back down.  If it materializes, then trendline support should break and ALNY should go to new multi-year lows.  This is consistent with our overall market forecast.

ALNY Daily

If you are interested in looking for short opportunities in ALNY, there are at least two ways to play it:

  1. Short it against the 20SMA with a stop above either June 3rd highs, the 20 SMA, or the descending trendline.  The risk here is a that a big pop takes you out with some slippage.
  2. Short a break of horizontal trendline support.  The risk here is a big drop that leaves you behind.  If so, you might want to wait to see if it retests support from below.

ALNY has very high short interest, so a pop could be big.  Be careful!  It may also be hard to borrow from your broker.  Options do trade on ALNY so puts are an possibility, but they are thin.  The Deviant Standard should have many more good short ideas this week.

Pick of the Month:

Among the Mad by Jacqueline Winspear

I’m choosing Among the Mad partly on its own merit, and partly as a representative of its series. I am absolutely loving the Maisie Dobbs books, and I am so happy that I was encouraged to join the readalong that Book Club Girl is hosting. I can’t believe I’m nearly caught up on the series, and I’m not sure what I’m going to do for the next year while waiting for the next book. Among the Mad was a particularly good entry in the series, though, I could barely put it down.

Roland Reiss at the Claremont Museum of Art

"Roland Reiss: Unapologetic Flowers and Small Stories," April 6 – July 8, 2018

March 3, 2018

The exhibition will include a selection of “miniatures” dating from the mid-1970s-90s. Among the artist’s best-known works, these boxed, sculptural tableaux are simultaneously familiar, mysterious, and provocative. Also on view will be a selection of Reiss’s floral paintings drawn from a series begun in 2007 that continues to this day. The decision to focus on flowers, a subject generally undervalued in the history of painting, reflects the artist’s ongoing determination to challenge himself, to push limits, to employ the breadth of his experience in compositions far more complicated than they first appear. Taken together, these examples of two of Reiss’s signature bodies of work convey a sense of the artistic and intellectual breadth of his remarkable career and, in so doing, honor an individual who has contributed profoundly to the development of the arts in Claremont.

The exhibition will be on view April 6 – July 8, 2018 .

Free of the Past and All Its Regrets; Free of the Worries That Are Only in The Future

By Maryellen Grady
Posted Sep 10, 2011 in Lifestyle
Maybe you're sick of hearing people talk and write about living in the Now. Let's dissect it one more time. I hope you will join me in my efforts to stay in the day. Be here now, sure, but how?
Twelve Step groups like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous teach newcomers to take it a day at a time. We can't quit drinking forever, so there's no point in thinking or saying, "I'll never drink again." The same thing applies to quitting drugs forever or any other dis-ease that is result of making something other than the Divine your power greater than yourself to whom you surrender all. We sought to fill up that always ravenous, parched emptiness inside--the big hole we kept trying to fill with food, sex, drugs, booze, gambling, and so on, but it is, as they say in A.A., a God-shaped hole and only accepting Oneness with the Divine can completely fill that empty space of pain and longing. What we cannot give up forever, we can abstain from just for a day--five minutes at a time if need be.
Newly sober and clean addicts and alcoholics are an excellent example of people who must dive in and take a crash course in living in the Now. Their lives depend on staying out of the past and future as much as possible because they are still so close to their using and drinking and relapse may be the direct result of those thoughts. "Just because you think a thought doesn't mean you have to entertain it," one of my spiritual teachers told me when I was new in recovery. "You don't have to get out the tablecloth, light the candles and set the table for it." In learning how to better meditate, hard with my monkey-mind, I try to practice what I have learned from others about just observing a thought that comes unwanted and unbidden as if it were a cloud passing by. "Thought," the meditating mind might note, and then go back to paying attention to breathing.
One of the cruder things you might hear people share as wisdom at an A.A. or N.A. meeting is this: "If you have one foot in yesterday and one foot in tomorrow, you are pissing all over today. No need to get upset worrying about the wedding you must attend in four months, and whether or not you'll stay clean and sober at the reception. If it's not today, they learn to let go of it.
If newly recovering people, or people who've been clean for a while, or persons without addictions (there must be some out there somewhere), let their minds get away from this very day, this very hour, this very minute, it might take that long-ingrained habitual lonely trip back to the past with all its embarrassments, losses, shame, remorse and self-hatred. Or it might take a fantasy trip to a future that may never come where all of your worries come true: You do end up alone, lonely and forsaken. You do lose someone you love. Something terrible does happen to one of your children. So the newly recovering person gradually comes to change their manner of thinking and to let go of the dead past and the uncertain future and live at peace 24 hours at a time. If they opt to instead dwell on the past or future, they have a good chance of using/drinking, and for them, to go back to that every day hell is to die, literally and suddenly, or just a complete going back to numbness and sickness and dying some every new day.
I was recently reading a daily reflection/meditation sort of book that gave this exercise as a meditation: "I will meditate on how taking care of myself in the present can help me accept my past.and stop worrying about things and circumstances that aren't today." I bet if I had the energy and the time to keep a daily log of how often I drift from the living Now to the dead past and worrisome future I would find that I spend a very small percentage of my days living in the present moment. Yet in the present I have no fears, shame, regrets--none of it, so why wouldn't I want to be here now constantly?
My mind, and maybe yours, is a bad neighborhood I shouldn't travel through alone. Self-love, self-esteem and self-confidence are drowned out by flashes of scandalous, humiliating things I've done or said at some time in my life, and it could be when I was just an innocent child who told a lie to her father or stole change from my mother's purse. Those little failures have grown large and monstrous after all these years of returning to the memories, and I cannot live at peace or love myself when the shame and self-hatred start or the fears begin to trap me and threaten to cause my heart to stop if I don't pay attention to them.
The "Course in Miracles" says that all negative things are the result of fear and that fear is a lack of love. Get rid of those forays into the future where you are terminally ill and in a state nursing facility where you are drugged and disrespected. Here's some things I did to rid myself of my everyday fears. First I admitted I had fears. That took some honesty because denial tells me that I am easy-going, mellow and go with the flow. There are times my heart beats out of my chest and I feel I cannot draw in a breath because I have let my fears scare me so completely. Next, I did a mini-twelth-step program fourth step and took a written inventory of what my primary fears are, why I have them, and what I need to do about each. The A.A. "Big Book" suggests that we review these fears and ask ourselves, "Where has self-reliance failed me? If I truly surrender to a power greater than myself, one that I believe loves me madly and forever and knows the number of hairs on my head, and just wants me to live in joy, love and happiness, I will have no fears. Love comes in and does for me what I cannot do for myself.

Henri the Existential Cat's 'Christmas Carol' - video

The depressed cat is visited by three friends to see the meaning of Christmas.

Henri the Existential Cat has starred in a new festive film, titled 'The Worst Noel'.

The depressed cat's latest Dickensian-style video sees him visited by three of his friends to see if he can discover the meaning of Christmas, in true Christmas Carol fashion.

Advertisement - Continue Reading Below

Henri deems a young cat too simple-minded to be taught any lessons from, while an outdoor cat lets Henri appreciate the smaller things in life, mainly that he's not a dog.

Finally an older cat teaches Henri his own important lessons: "Never let them [the people] pet you. Never expose your belly. Never sit on a lap voluntarily."

> Depressed cat stars in French art house film 'Henri 2, Paw de Deux'

However, Henri sees the older cat's real desire to gain approval from his human owners, making him more depressed about his own future.

Still Henri can see in the older cat's eyes he needs approval from humanoids, and becomes even more depressed that this might be his inevitable future.

The Henri videos have become a popular series on YouTube, via filmmaker Will Braden's channel HenriLeChatNoir.

Henri has previously been seen going to the vet and giving his thoughts on Halloween.

Grace of Monaco: Harvey Weinstein not attending Cannes premiere

Harvey Weinstein insists that he is on a previously planned trip in Syria.

Harvey Weinstein will not attend the premiere of his company's film Grace of Monaco at the Cannes Film Festival today (May 14).

The co-chairman of The Weinstein Company has confirmed that he is currently on a trip to Syria with his wife Georgina.

The producer has been critical of the Olivier Dahan-directed Grace Kelly biopic for several months, falling out with the filmmaker about its final cut.

Grace of Monaco has been met with mostly negative reviews since the release of Dahan's chosen edit.

In a statement, Weinstein said: "My wife Georgina and I have been in Jordan visiting two Syrian refugee camps, Al Zaatri yesterday and Azraq today.

"This was a long planned trip with the UNHCR and our friend Neil Gaimon to bring attention to the plight of refugees who have been forced to flee Syria and the incredible work of UNHCR."

He added: "I'm wishing Olivier, Nicole, Pierre Ange and Uday and the Grace of Monaco team all the best for the screening in Cannes tonight."

Weinstein has reached a new US distribution deal with the film's producers, with a summer release expected.

New Power Headrest Option
The new Power headrest option takes the power reclining option to a whole new dimension. It now allows you to electronically adjust its headrest, giving infinite possible positions. Of course you can still adjust your reclining position using Southern Motion's sub 6-second power motor but an additional motor, completely independent, now drives the adjustable headrest.

It's great for sleeping, and with the adjustable headrest, it's also great for reading or watching TV. No more is there a need for that ole' throw pillow from the sofa. Simply adjust the headrest to whatever angle fits your physique and allows you to reach a new level of comfort.

Create your home's perfect playlist with this gorgeous new introduction. The Panorama has sleek styling that rock! Panorama combines transitional bustle backs with updated French seaming and oversized stitching into a mix that is sure to jam in any room setting. Pad-over-chaise seating also draws from the French-seam shaping which brings unique style to the Panorama.

The Panorama is available as Sofa and Loveseat sets as well as Sectional Sofa configurations.

The Panorama's "wall hugger" design means seats can be placed only 4-7 inches from your wall and still fully recline allowing you to make maximum use of your living space. The Panorama Series is as comfortable as any Recliner seating made. It is an elegant addition to your home and is an excellent investment in American Made Comfort and Quality.

The Panorama features the new Reclina-Pedic technology.

Reclina-Pedic feature uses thick memory foam to cradle your body in relaxed comfort that soothes your muscles.

Power Plus provides you with USB charging ports (in the power recline controller) to charge your mobile devices.

American Quality and Craftsmanship in every Stitch.
Luxurious, ergonomically designed seating surfaces are sculpted 1.8 density foam with an amazing 28 pound compression that will keep you comfortable for years. American Quality is built right into this reclining furniture. The seat frame is hardwood with hardwood components for extra durability. The reclining mechanism has thick gauge steel and Longlife rivets that stand up to the most demanding family life.

Through use of the industry's most stringent Quality Control monitoring over the last 14 years, independent audits show that this American Furniture is a remarkable 99.4% defect free. The factory (based in Mississippi) also has an equally impressive record for shipping 98.7% on time.

Why Buy American made Furniture?
Aside from the obvious reasons of supporting American jobs and industry the simple fact is this American Made Furniture is not only better made than a Chinese import, but is a much better value. From the quality of the springs, frame, and foam, to the final stitch, everything that goes into this furniture is superior in quality.

Outstanding list of the "Best Internet Marketing Posts of 2009" from Tamar Weinberg

Entering the DSLR world... with a Nikon D90

nikond90-1.jpgA few days before Christmas I joined the ranks of DSLR owners with the arrival of a Nikon D90, the kit 18-105mm lens and an additional 50mm/1.8 prime lens. (Shown on right, with the picture taken by my iPhone.) Amazon.com had a great price and I decided that it was the time to make the leap.

I had been debating for probably a good 8-9 months as the prices kept getting better and better. My big dilemma was, of course, the almost religious divide between:

Canon vs. Nikon

And, of course, the issue is that you are not just buying a single camera... you are buying into a system. Lenses, batteries... all of that is unique to a brand. The lenses are the biggest issue, because you naturally accumulate more as you do more with photography. I also realized that as a family, we'd probably soon be a multiple-DSLR family and so the decision was for more than just me.

I didn't have a particular historical bias between Canon and Nikon. For most of probably 20 years I shot very large amounts of slide film with my trusty Olympus OM-10, but I put that down probably a decade ago when I started to play with digital point-and-shoot cameras. I looked at the Olympus digital cameras but wasn't impressed... and still have a lingering dislike of Olympus for their proprietary xD cards that were a pain with an Olympus point-and-shoot we owned.

So in my typical Dan-dives-deep style, I consumed huge amounts of online reviews, including all the incredibly detailed ones at DPReview.com... I read Duncan Davidson's "Advice for the $2K camera budget"... I spoke with large numbers of friends... I asked on Twitter... I asked on Facebook... I spoke with colleagues at work... I tried out cameras from friends and colleagues...

I couldn't decide.

You see... all of the folks around me came down pretty evenly on both sides of the divide. Good friends who take incredible pictures and whose opinions I trust used Canon... and other friends shot pictures of the same caliber with Nikon. So in the end I was debating about the Canon Rebel T1i, the Nikon D5000, the Canon EOS 50D and the Nikon D90. The reality that became clear was:

Any of these cameras will take outstanding pictures.

For the typical hobby/home photographer, it's hard to lose with whatever choice you make... you just have to make the choice. As a colleague in Germany said to me in a Skype chat:

But the most important thing is: Don't look forever. Buy now, whatever the choice is today. And go shooting :)

So in the end, I chose a Nikon D90. Why? Two primary reasons:

  1. When I tried it out, the D90 just "felt good in my hands". A purely subjective reason. The controls all worked well for me. I just liked the feel versus the Canon models I tried.

  2. A number of colleagues at work all have D90s and so I have a local pool of D90 users to talk to and learn from.

winter-nikon-1.jpgThat was my choice of what worked for me. And I've been VERY pleased with the results... as has my wife... so much so that we have a Nikon D5000 arriving soon as well. :-)

Now that I've made the leap to a DSLR, I find the quality of the shots so far ahead of my point-and-shoot camera that I don't know that I'll be going back much at all! The DSLRs are now also so incredibly easy to use. It's also great just to have the feel of a SLR-size camera back in my hands and to be able to tweak the settings of a shot and experiment and play with photograpy.

I'm having fun... taking a ton of shots... some smaller number of which I'll start adding to my Flickr account once I finish a writing project this week that is consuming all my outside-work time.

Have you made the leap yet? Are you in DSLR land? What was your choice?

Blog Kiosk: 2/1/2016 - Dodgers Links - Some Odds and Ends

As I'm sure you all know by know, Vin Scully Avenue will officially be a thing in a few short weeks.  The LA City Council unanimously voted to a street name change that will forever commemorate the the broadcaster.  The street that leads into the main gates of Dodger Stadium, currently known as Elysian Park Avenue, will be renamed to Vin Scully Avenue.  Featured in the pic above is Dodger manager Dave Roberts speaking to the council in support of the change.

Photo above via Jon SooHoo/LA Dodgers 2015Go here to check out more pics from Jon of this event. Below are more links to check out:
  • BTW, Vin Scully mentioned to reporters during FanFest that he hopes to call some road games during this last season.  Via Ken Gurnick at
"As a little kid who grew up literally in the Polo Grounds and was an avid Giants fan, I think I would love to finish in a Dodgers-Giants game," said Scully at Dodgers FanFest on Saturday, an event attended by nearly 25,000 people. "God willing, it will work out. We'll see."
"Zack is a very, very great pitcher. Last year, in my opinion, no offense to Jake [Arrieta], Zack was the best pitcher in the game. He's tough to replace.

"But we've got guys with experience, we've got talent and depth, and we should be a good team. Other than Jimmy [shortstop Jimmy Rollins], it looks like we'll have pretty much our team back. With the team we've put together, if everybody plays up to where he should, we'll be a really good team. We have a lot of depth. We just have to do what we're supposed to do."
  • Via Bill Shaikin at the LA Times, "Chase Utley's appeal hearing will probably happen during spring training."
  • ICYMI:  Baseball Prospectus came out with their Top-100 Prospects list for 2016 and it includes six Dodger players; including Corey Seager at #1.  Go here to check out the complete list.  The other five to make the cut are Julio Urias (#6), Jose De Leon (#28), Grant Holmes (#40), Yadier Alvarez (#78) and Yuniel Diaz (#91).  Also, Reddit user r/mattsergent posted up the short bios from Baseball Prospectus on Reddit that you see here.  Below is the writeup on Grant Holmes:
Holmes is one of the more underrated pitching prospects in baseball. He is outshone in his own system by the top-end arm strength of Jose De Leon and the combination of youth, stuff and pitchability of Julio Urias. He even got overlooked among the 2014 prep-arm draft class due to the lack of projection in his 6-foot-1 frame. The Dodgers may have gotten a steal with the 22nd-overall pick as a result. Holmes features a plus fastball and curve, but needs to refine his command and changeup to reach his projection as a mid-rotation starter. You may have heard some of this before.
  • I thought I would just pass along the report that Baseball America ranks my alma mater, Cal State Fullerton, as the 22nd best Baseball team in the nation.  Check out the entire list here.  Other California teams include Cal (#8), UCLA (#10) and USC (#16).

Why i Refuse To Settle For A One-Sided Love

iStockPhoto.com / Ondine32
iStockPhoto.com / Ondine32

“You can’t fix yourself by breaking someone else” — author unknown

I’ve tried to make a one-sided love work. But, it turned into this tornado of “I love you’s” that didn’t mean a thing. It turned into a hurricane of lies, tears, of “we should break up” and wounded hearts. The thing about one-sided love, is that someone is going to get hurt no matter what. It never ends in a happily ever after.

Sometimes you don’t even notice it’s a one-sided love, until you realize that you only say “I love you” when you’re drunk. Or, you only say it because you feel like you have to and you don’t want to make your partner angry.

A one-sided love is a storm that will only end in loss and broken parts.

It’s when one person thinks their partner is their world. But, the other partner is just pretending. They are wanting more than they are getting. They are lying.

It’s easy for it to happen. Especially when you care about the person a lot. But you cannot force love. Ever. You just can’t. And it’s easy to fake it in the beginning. You think you can get by. But then you can’t sleep because you’re so anxious of hurting the other person’s feelings. And you can’t sleep because you’re with someone who you don’t even love. But you said it to them anyway. Why? You thought it was the right thing to do. But it wasn’t. Lying wasn’t worth it.

I refuse to settle for a one-sided love.

It’s too painful. And watching another person cry because you don’t feel the same way? It’s the worst feeling in the world. You almost wish they could hurt you right back, so they wouldn’t be the only one reeling with pain. A one-sided love regardless of which person you are, is not a real love. It’s a web of mixed up emotions and fucked up feelings.

If you feel like you are in a relationship where the other person feels more strongly, either tell them or just end it right there. Causing another person pain, is worse than feeling the pain yourself. It’s not worth it.

The hugs, the kisses, the care you have them in your heart, it’s still not how they feel about you.

A one-sided love shouldn’t be called “love” at all. Because it’s just a mockery of real love. It’s a messed up version of the real thing. And that’s why I will never settle for it again. You shouldn’t either.

There are two simple cooking methods we recommend, to give you a beautifully tender, succulent Tomahawk Steak.

1. Thawing
Allow plenty of time for defrosting. Always leave in wrapping and thaw out slowly in your refrigerator. Ensure product is thoroughly defrosted before cooking.

2. Bring to Room Temperature
Carefully remove the meat from the packaging and pat dry with kitchen paper. Allow 20 minutes to bring to room temperature, so the meat will cook more evenly and remain juicy.

3. Cooking Temperatures and Times
Follow the simple guidelines below. Take care not to overcook the meat as this will make it dry and tough.
Pan to ovenSearing time (total minutes for all sides)Then oven roast at 230ºC/Gas 8Resting TimeApprox total cooking time
 Rare 8-10 mins 22-24 mins 10 mins 40 mins
 Medium 8-10 mins 30-32 mins 10 mins 50 mins
 Well Done 8-10 mins 36-38 mins 10 mins 55 mins
 Barbeque*Cooking time 1st SideCooking time 2nd SideResting TimeApprox total cooking time
Rare to Well Done** 10-15 mins 5-10 mins 10-20 mins 25-45 mins
*Barbecues vary dramatically in temperature and quality of heat; please use your own judgement as these are approximate guidelines only.
** Please check if cooked to your liking by using The Press Test or a meat thermometer.

4. Resting
Once the steak is cooked to your liking, leave in a warm place to rest. This allows the meat to relax and become moist and tender all the way through.

5. Serving
Hold the bone with one hand and slice along its length to cleave the meat from the bone. Slice the meat across the grain into slices as thick as you like, season with salt and pepper and serve with your favourite salads, homemade chips, onion rings and béarnaise sauce. Alternatively, for a real caveman experience, serve still on the bone!

Nonprofit cuts admission by half for three days; donates a third of admissions to Harvey relief

Space Center Houston will reopen to the public on Saturday, Sept. 2. Hours will be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday through Monday, the Labor Day weekend.

In a show of support, the nonprofit will reduce the admission price during those three days by half to $15 and will donate a third of those admissions to Hurricane Harvey relief efforts. Parking also will be free.

"Our hearts go out to all of those affected by Hurricane Harvey’s winds, torrential rain and the devastating flooding,” said William T. Harris, president and CEO of the Manned Space Flight Education Foundation and Space Center Houston. "Space Center Houston is a family and our family has enjoyed a deep and meaningful relationship with Texans and especially the people of the greater Houston area. While the recovery efforts will be arduous and emotional, we are committed to rebuilding our communities through the strength of our bonds."

Space Center Houston was secured throughout this unprecedented weather event and did not flood. The artifacts are safe, including Independence Plaza which is engineered to withstand winds up to 120 miles per hour. The center closed lastSaturday, Aug. 19.

NASA Johnson Space Center will remain closed until Tuesday, Sept. 5, so the NASA Tram Tour and Level 9 tour cannot be offered; however, the rest of the museum’s exhibits, films and shows will be open. There are added special daily appearances by an astronaut. The summer exhibit closes on Labor Day.

DON to Migrate to Use of Stronger Cryptographic Algorithms

Published, July 7, 2011

The Department of the Navy Chief Information Officer released guidance directing the Department's migration to the use of a stronger cryptographic hash algorithm in data security authentication procedures such as CAC logon and digital signatures.

The June 15 memo "Department of the Navy Secure Hash Algorithm Migration Guidance" provides guidance in response to Department of Defense and Federal Government direction to migrate.

In January 2011 federal agencies, excluding DoD, ceased their use of Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credentials signed using the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA)–1 and began using credentials signed using the stronger cryptographic standard of SHA-256. As a result, federal personnel previously authorized to use federal PIV credentials to access DoD systems, applications and websites experienced interoperability issues.

To restore interoperability and advance the DoD's cryptographic hash algorithm use to the stronger standard, the DON must ensure that systems and applications supporting DoD Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) authentication, digital signature generation and email encryption/decryption migrate to support for SHA-256.

To best align DON SHA-256 migration plans with pending DoD planning guidance, DON components will target systems, applications and websites for compliance by April 1, 2014. The memo also establishes an Integrated Product Team to support DON migration coordination activities.

Strengthening & Supporting the Early Childhood Workforce: A Global Overview

By Radhika Mitter, program associate at R4D

Evidence is growing that early childhood development (ECD) services have a strong, positive impact on children’s development. Research from diverse contexts shows that interventions which promote nurturing care in early environments significantly improve childhood development and later adult outcomes. For example, a study of the Hogares Comunitarios de Bienestar program in Colombia, which provides child care and nutrition services to children under age six, found that adolescents ages 13-17 who had participated in the program were almost 20 percent more likely to be in school than those who had not participated.

Despite increasing knowledge on the benefits of ECD, however, we still don’t know as much about one of the most critical parts of ECD programs: the early childhood workforce. Research shows that the workforce is one of the most important factors influencing the quality of ECD services. For example, in the early childhood education and care sector, evidence indicates that caregivers’ level of education and participation in training is a better predictor of program quality than other factors such as child-staff ratios or group size.

While we know that the workforce is important, key questions remain unanswered. What do early childhood professionals and paraprofessionals need to know and be able to do in order to perform effectively and how does this vary across contexts? What types of training and support do staff receive? How is the early childhood workforce recruited, monitored, and evaluated?

Answering these questions requires evidence that is global in nature and deeply textured to reflect the diversity of the early childhood workforce. Assessing and learning from the full breadth of early childhood efforts is no easy task, but it is exactly what we seek to do as part of the multi-stakeholder, multi-country Early Childhood Workforce Initiative (ECWI). Through the ECWI, we are carrying out a series of global landscape analyses on four critical themes: competences and standards, training and professional development, monitoring and mentoring, and recognition of the profession.

These analyses aim to establish the size and scope of the challenges faced by the early childhood workforce, while also highlighting promising practices countries have adopted in response to these challenges. Spanning a range of roles including professionals and paraprofessionals, paid and unpaid workers, and frontline workers and managers, from the education and care, health and nutrition, social protection and child protection sectors, these analyses aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the current status of the workforce worldwide. Such a vast review and synthesis of literature on the early childhood workforce has never been done before and is sure to generate some interesting findings.

What are the keys to the strengthening the workforce?

We are focusing on four themes which are essential to the strengthening and support of the early childhood workforce:

  • Competences and Standards – Competences and standards ensure that there are agreed requirements and expectations for what early childhood workers should know and be able to do. They also lay the groundwork for the core principles, regulations, guidelines and procedures guiding their work with young children and their families.
  • Training and Professional Development –Since the early childhood workforce is very diverse, including, for example, many volunteers or staff without formal education, training and professional development opportunities support the acquisition of necessary skills and competencies.
  • Monitoring and Mentoring – Creating systems for monitoring, evaluation/assessment, and continuous feedback and coaching are important for ensuring that workers receive information that they can use to improve their practice on an ongoing basis and for linking members of the workforce to pathways for career advancement.
  • Recognition of the Profession – Currently, the level of remuneration, working conditions, and status of the early childhood workforce are poor, even relative to primary teachers, nurses, social workers, and other similar professions. Recruitment challenges, high turnover, and low morale compromise the quality of provision. There is a need to explore ways to improve the attractiveness and perception of the profession and promote ways to give voice to practitioners in their daily work and in policy discussions, including through collective action.

Where we are now and what’s to come

We are currently working on the first two of four landscape analyses covering competences and standards and training and professional development, two interrelated themes. Clearly articulated competences and standards ideally inform the way that training and professional development programs and curricula are designed. Simultaneously, effective training and professional development programs align with predefined competences and standards to ensure that early childhood professionals are equipped with the skills necessary to perform successfully.

The two landscape analyses will provide an overview of general early childhood workforce trends, explore key themes that emerge from the synthesis of literature, and provide in-depth country reviews to illustrate how systems are tackling key workforce challenges.

Initial findings from our research show that the number of university-level pre-service programs are increasing worldwide. In China, for example, more than 250 university-based programs, including 61 with master’s programs, have been established in the social and child protection field since the late 1980s, when social work was legally recognized as a profession. However, universally, challenges persist regarding quality of educational opportunities and in terms of who has access to them. Additionally, while countries have made efforts to align training and professional development opportunities with nationally and internationally recognized competences and standards, gaps persist between policy and practice.  Evidently, despite progress made in raising the status of the early childhood workforce, more work remains to be done. With that said, several countries have made significant efforts to address these gaps. For example, Indonesia has established a set of agreed upon core competences and core subject areas to be applied by all universities and schools of social work, allowing for consistency in the types of competences and skills emphasized in formal training programs for social service workers. Similarly, in the early childhood education and care sector, New Zealand has developed a robust teacher education and course accreditation process that ensures alignment between teacher training programs and predefined quality standards.

Through the ECWI landscape analyses, we plan to highlight promising approaches countries have adopted to address pressing workforce challenges, and also identify areas for further work.

We hope that a diverse group of stakeholders working in ECD can use the findings of these landscape analyses to:

  • Generate lessons for countries looking for ways to support and strengthen the early childhood workforce
  • Enhance existing programs, policies, research, and advocacy efforts concerning the early childhood workforce

Stay tuned for findings from these two studies, to be shared in the coming months.

Cal-el and the Leprechaun

Cal-el and the Leprechaun

The tiny little red-bearded man dressed in the strange green clothing with a green derby and the pointed toed, buckled shoes looked at Cal-el and froze.

I know what you want! You want me pot of gold, don't you. You'll never get it, I tell you! I won't let you catch me!

Relax, said Cal-el, I could care less about your money. I'm here all alone and I thought you might want to go to Bennigan's and get a green beer.

You're trying to TRICK me you are! I won't HAVE it! You're not going to get my gold!

Geesh, said Cal-el, shrugging his shoulders. What is it about you people and your money.

You people? Trying to insult me, are ye? Prejudiced against the little people, are ye?

Goodness. I wasn't talking about Leprechauns. I was talking about anyone with money. Everyone goes around making such a big deal of how much money they have and no one looks at others for the kind of person they are anymore. You just appeared to be alone, too, and I thought we could ease our loneliness with a couple drinks and some conversation.

Well, tempting it may be, but how do I know I can trust ye?

If you're a Leprechaun, don't you have some kind of power of divination?

Ah, yer after me powers, eh? I KNEW I couldn't trust ye! I'll have nothing to do with ye!

Goodness. I'm just telling you to take a look for yourself and see if I'm not trustworthy. I can understand that you think everyone's out for you money, but honestly, you're suffering from severe paranoia... not that you don't have your reasons.

Well, I may be able to trust ye, but how do I know I'll be able to trust the others?

They'll just think you were an actor hired to dress up as a Leprechaun for the St. Patrick's Day celebration. People don't really believe in Leprechauns here. Besides, if anyone tries to start something, I'll intervene.

Well, I really COULD use a sip 'o' ale and some good company would be nice, but I don't know if I should trust ye.

Fine. I'll go drink green beer by myself. It would have been nice to have some company, but I can see you're in no mood to dance and have a good time. I'll be on my way.

Cal-el turned and started walking to his mini-van, taking the keys out of his pocket.

WAIT! I guess I can trust ye, and it HAS been a really long time since I've had a decent chat with someone who wasn't after me pot of gold. You'd better not think ye can be tricking me, though.

If I were the type to trick people, don't you think I'd be living in a nicer house?

Well, ye have a point. Ok. I'll come along.

Cal-el opened the door for the Leprechaun and helped him into the seat, showing him how to fasten the seatbelt. Cal-el then got into his van and drove him to Henry's Hideout where there was live music and dancing. A few people commented about the midget's outfit, but just as many commented about Cal-el's T-shirt, and soon the Leprechaun began to relax.

Cal-el and the Leprechaun drank some green ale and the Leprechaun started relaxing and enjoying himself. He talked with Cal-el about his sad stories of being persecuted and Cal-el shared a few stories of his own persecution with the Leprechaun. They talked about loves they won and lost. They comforted each other then started joking around and had a good laugh.

The ladies couldn't keep themselves away from this interesting looking couple, which made Cal-el a little uneasy, but seemed to overly delight the Leprechaun.

Are ye a party pooper, asked the Leprechaun.

No, I just have someone on my mind right now.

Ah, that shouldn't stop ye from enjoying the party.

I'm enjoying it. I just have some things on my mind.

Well, suit yerself.

Cal-el and the Leprechaun finally found a couple ladies who were actually interested in engaging them in some real conversation, so they invited the ladies to dance. As they were dancing, the Leprechaun cast a little spell that raised the dancers slightly off the dance floor with a fog that people thought came from a fog machine.

At the end of the evening, they took a couple ladies back to Cal-el's place... both of them for the Leprechaun. Cal-el wasn't interested in gratuitous sex, as he had someone special on his mind.

The next morning, after enduring the giggles and moans he heard through the night, Cal-el saw the Leprechaun and the ladies to the door. The Leprechaun said goodbye to the ladies and stopped to talk a bit with Cal-el.

Aren't ye going to ask me fer something?

No, I enjoyed your company and it really was a good time.

Well, since ye kept yer word, I'm gonna' do something fer ya anyway. Ye see, I'm the King of the Leprechauns and I've never met a mortal such as ye.

The Leprechaun waved his hands which glowed a golden glow and said an ancient Irish Leprechaun blessing over Cal-el.

Cal-el didn't understand a word of the blessing, but he smiled and thanked the Leprechaun. The Leprechaun then turned and scurried off to the vacant lot next door, and just as he neared the trees, he vanished.

I wonder what the blessing was? thought Cal-el.
