Extended Biography | Awards & Honors

Paul Wertico

Hailed in the press as "One of the most versatile and musical drummers in music today", Paul Wertico was born January 5, 1953 in Chicago. He gained worldwide recognition as a member of the Pat Metheny Group from 1983 to 2001. During his tenure with Metheny, Wertico played on ten recordings and four videos, appeared on numerous television shows, and frequently toured around the world. He also won seven Grammy Awards (for "Best Jazz Fusion Performance," "Best Contemporary Jazz Performance," and "Best Rock Instrumental Performance"), magazine polls, and received several gold records.

In recent years, Wertico has continued to tour and perform around the world, as well as around the Chicago metropolitan area, where he is based. This led to the creation of his own band (the Paul Wertico Trio) and collaborations with jazz notables such as Larry Coryell, Kurt Elling, and Jeff Berlin. These collaborations enabled Wertico to be featured on group recordings in a variety of musical genres, and also gave him an opportunity to produce records. In 2009, Wertico's trio joined forces with Marbin, which consisted of Israeli musicians Danny Markovitch (saxophone) and Dani Rabin (guitar). The group performed as Paul Wertico's Mid-East/Mid-West Alliance, and recorded an album for the Chicago Sessions label that received accolades from publications such as the Chicago Tribune, DRUM!, and Modern Drummer. Wertico's current group is Wertico Cain & Gray, featuring multi-instrumentalists David Cain and Larry Gray. A 2013 recording by Wertico Cain & Gray, entitled Sound Portraits, won "Best Live Performance Album" in the 13th Annual Independent Music Awards (2014).

When not touring, Wertico divides his career doing session work, producing, composing, and leading his own groups, as well as teaching. Among the musicians with whom he has played are Eddie Harris, Lee Konitz, Dave Liebman, Sam Rivers, Bob Mintzer, Terry Gibbs, Buddy DeFranco, Roscoe Mitchell, Evan Parker, Jay McShann, Herbie Mann, Randy Brecker, Jerry Goodman, Ramsey Lewis, David Bowie, Charlie Haden, George Coleman, Diane Schuur, Nelson Riddle, Sonny Fortune, Ken Nordine, Tierney Sutton, and many others. Wertico is a member of the Larry Coryell Power Trio. From 2000 to 2007, he was a member of the platinum-record-winning Polish progressive rock band, SBB. He is also the inventor of TUBZ, made by Pro-Mark (who also makes the “Paul Wertico Signature Drum Stick”), as well as a new independently manufactured signature product called “Paul Wertico’s Acousticx”.

Wertico played drums on Paul Winter's 1990 Grammy-nominated release, Earth: Voices Of A Planet. He has also played on and produced a number of CDs for artists, including vocalist Kurt Elling's 1995 Grammy-nominated release, Close Your Eyes, as well as Elling's 1997 Grammy-nominated release, The Messenger, 1998 Grammy-nominated release, This Time It's Love, and 2003 Grammy-nominated release, Man In The Air.

Wertico has performed in all 50 states and in more than 60 countries. In the international press, his playing has been compared to that of an "Impressionist painter," while he has also been described as "an inspired madman," "a restless innovator," "a true legend of jazz drums," "a master of drumming insanity," "a genius of the sticks," and a recent review stated "Wertico simply oozes musicality." In 2004, Wertico was named a "Chicagoan of the Year" by the Chicago Tribune, and he has also been recommended by that newspaper and the Chicago Sun-Times for multiple album-of-the-year awards. In addition to Wertico's awards as a member of the Pat Metheny Group, he was voted "Fusion Drummer Of The Year" in DRUM! magazine’s readers poll and placed in the top five in the electric-jazz category in Modern Drummer magazine's readers polls. Wertico has appeared on the covers of Drum Tracks, Modern Drummer, Chicago Jazz, Percussioni (Italy), Belgo Beat (Belgium), PerQsja (Poland) and Bateristas al Sur (South America). In 2010, the Cape Breton International Drum Festival honored him with a Life Time Achievement Award for his “Major Contribution To The World Of Drumming & Education,” and that year he also a recipient of the Montréal Drum Fest's Lifetime Achievement Award. In addition, as Musical Director for the crowdsourced TV video series, Inventing The Future, Paul was nominated for a 2012-2013 Emmy Award in the “Outstanding Achievement In Interactivity” category by The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, Midwest Chapter. Paul also hosted his own weekly radio show, Paul Wertico’s Wild World of Jazz, from 2010 to 2012.

Wertico is also extremely active in the field of education. In addition to teaching drums privately for 45 years, he is an Associate Professor of Jazz Studies at Roosevelt University's Chicago College of Performing Arts, and he also headed the school’s Jazz & Contemporary Music Studies program for five years. He also served on the faculty of the percussion and jazz-studies programs at the Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois for 16 years, and also taught at the Bloom School of Jazz in Chicago for several years. He has written educational articles for magazines such as Modern Drummer, DRUM!, Drums & Drumming, Drum Tracks, and DownBeat, and for He also serves on the advisory board of Modern Drummer and is one of MD’s Pro-Panelists. Wertico served his five terms on the Board of Governors of The Recording Academy Chicago Chapter of NARAS (the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences), as well as serving on both the Advisory Board and the Education Committee of The Jazz Institute of Chicago.

Wertico has performed numerous drum clinics and master classes at universities, high schools, and music stores in the U.S. and around the world, including Drummers Collective in NYC, Percussion Institute of Technology in LA, North Texas State University, and the University of Miami, as well as Musicians Institute in England, Drummers Institute in Germany, Università della Musica in Italy, Escuela de Música de Buenos Aires in Argentina, and the Rimon School of Jazz in Israel. He has been a featured clinician/soloist at numerous international drum festivals including Canada’s Cape Breton International Drum Festival and the Montréal Drum Fest, Uruguay’s Montevideo Drum Festival, the CrossDrumming International Festival of Percussive Arts in Poland, the Mendoza International Drum Festival in Argentina, the Percussion Camp International Percussion Festival in Greece, and the First International Drummers Week in Venezuela, as well as at schools and festivals in New Zealand, Chile, Mexico, Russia, Hungary, France, Sweden, Ireland, and Spain. He also performed at the 1994, 1999 & 2002 Percussive Arts Society International Conventions, the 1997 Modern Drummer Drum Festival (and appeared in videos of two of those events), and the 2005, 2013 & 2014 Chicago Drum Shows. Wertico is featured on the Drum Workshop videos, The American Dream II, and The American Dream III. He has released two instructional videos: Fine-Tuning Your Performance and Paul Wertico's Drum Philosophy -- the latter (that is also available on DVD), was named “One of the best drum videos of the last 25 years” by Modern Drummer magazine.

Wertico's debut CD as a leader, The Yin And The Yout, received a four-star rating in DownBeat magazine. His 1998 trio CD, Live In Warsaw!, received 41⁄2 stars from DownBeat and featured guitarist John Moulder and bassist Eric Hochberg. The trio's 2000 studio recording, entitled Don't Be Scared Anymore, received reviews of "This album is like the soundtrack to the world's coolest vacation" from All About Jazz and "Jazz-rock in the truest sense" from All Music Guide. Wertico's 2004 CD, StereoNucleosis, was released to extremely positive reviews. The Chicago Tribune wrote: "A brilliant release - Wertico shows a thrilling disregard for stylistic boundaries. StereoNucleosis is one of the most intelligent, creative and alluring percussion recordings of the past decade. Wertico reaffirms his position among the most restlessly inventive drummers working today." All Music Guide reported: "Wertico and his players have done something wonderful and rare: they've actually created something not only different, but also truly new." LA Weekly wrote: "His recent records, such as 2000's Don't Be Scared Anymore and the new StereoNucleosis are stunning examples of the electronic, rhythmic and intellectual directions jazz could be going." Wertico's 2006 CD, Another Side, was released on the audiophile Naim Label; it was described as "a brilliant collaborative effort between these three uniquely talented musicians."

His 2010 CD, Impressions Of A City, featuring his band, Paul Wertico’s Mid-East/Mid-West Alliance, has been described in reviews as “One of the most impressively spontaneous albums you'll find on this planet - or any other"; “Haunting and memorable…an engaging musical experiment and one that is highly unique.”; “This is musical narrative at its finest. A fanfare for the common (and mechanically exploited) 21st century man and woman.”; “Sometimes beautiful, other times tense or just plain spooky, Impressions Of A City ought to go some way toward correcting the dubious reputation of avant-garde music.”; “A wildly unpredictable journey into one man’s apparently inexhaustible sonic imagination.”; and DownBeat magazine gave it 41⁄2 stars, listed it as one its “Best CDs of 2010”, and wrote "What makes the music work is not only that Wertico is not content to just "play it straight" as a drummer but that his skills as a conceptualist/leader may even be greater. A heads-up for all budding drummers (check out Wertico's inventive pause of a solo on "My Side Of The Story") who would like to hear and create music that goes beyond just keeping time." This band also released a live in concert DVD, entitled Live From SPACE, that has been reviewed by the Chicago Examiner as “More than setting tones, moods, and the stage for future, like-minded experimentation, these talented musicians have managed to also push the limits of what jazz can be, while entertaining a wider form of audience.”; and wrote “For Wertico fans, this DVD is a must have, showcasing innovative, finely tuned jazz talent. For new fans of modern jazz, this would be a staple, and a great place to start before your journey backwards.”

Wertico has also released numerous recordings as co-leader: a self-titled LP, Earwax Control, and a live Earwax Control CD entitled, Number Two Live; a self-titled LP, Spontaneous Composition; a drum/percussion duo CD (with Gregg Bendian) entitled BANG!; a double-guitar/double-drum three-CD set (with Derek Bailey, Pat Metheny and Bendian) entitled The Sign Of 4; and two piano/bass/drums trio CDs (with Laurence Hobgood and Brian Torff) entitled Union and State Of The Union.

In 2007, Wertico and Brian Peters released their CD, Ampersand, which called "Simply a musical masterpiece" and Classic Drummer magazine described as "one of the most ambitious records ever released. Recorded over a period of four years, it documents a completely new approach to combine elements of both Rock and Jazz music while resulting in a very listenable and captivating final product." That same year he released Jazz Impressions 1 with pianist Silvano Monasterios and bassist Mark Egan. Chicago Jazz magazine wrote: "From the first note of Jazz Impressions 1, you know you're in for something interesting and different. What these three do with that format, however, is nothing short of breathtaking."

Some of his latest releases include a DVD & CD by David Cain & Paul Wertico entitled Feast For The Senses; a CD by Paul Wertico & Frank Catalano entitled Topics Of Conversation; a CD by Fabrizio Mocata, Gianmarco Scaglia & Paul Wertico entitled Free The Opera!; a DVD & award-winning CD by Wertico Cain & Gray entitled Sound Portraits; Wertico Cain & Gray's second CD entitled Out In SPACE; Wertico Cain & Gray's second DVD & third CD entitled Organic Architecture; Wertico Cain & Gray's fourth CD & downloadable video release entitled Realization (which was nominated for "Best Live Performance Album" and "Best Long Form Video" in the 15th Annual Independent Music Awards (2016); and Wertico Cain & Gray's fifth CD entitled Short Cuts - 40 Improvisations.

Paul's major endorsements include: Drum Workshop, Paiste, Remo, Pro-Mark, and Shure.

Re: PC: ADMIN: Two things

Okay, I will bring up a topic, why the Pennsy bought EMD ,GE, and Alco six
axle road power and the New York Central did not. Since the Central side of
the railroad operated predominantly in flatland territory, thus the tag Water
Level Route, the motive power experts felt that the four axle road power of
the various ratings, such as 1500 hp (GP7, 1750; GP9, 2000 hp GP20,RS32, etc.
in the four axle configuration were sufficient to to the job of getting trains
over the road on time and without undue delay. On the Pennsy side, however,
the power requirements for the railroad's freight service were different,
GP30s,35s, U25Bs, C425s notwithstanding, for the topography of much of the
Pennsy system was mountainous and hilly in nature, necessitating diesels with
greater pulling power. This is where the likes of the SD35s, SD40s, SD45s,
U25Cs, U28Cs, U30Cs, and Alco C628s and C630s as well as the various RSD
models came in. That is why the four axle GEs other than the U25B or the GP40
were absent from the Pennsy roster. The GP40 was better suited for high speed
piggyback service than the heavy ponderous freights and bulk commodity trains
the PRR was noted for, which is why the PRR went for six axle road power and
the New York Central did not. Once the merger came, the diesel fleets of what
had been two railroads meshed together nicely once the necessary equipment
additions and modifications had been made. According to an old PRR diesel
roster I picked up off another website, the first ten SD45s of the 6200 block,
namely 6200-6209 were equipped with Locotrol radio gear for remote operation
of midtrain helper power. Whether Penn Central kept the locotrol on these
units I would like to find out. There may have been other locotrol equipped
units on the Penn Central. I would like to find out more about this operation.

Nationals in the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) are set to enjoy reduced calling charges, courtesy of a decision taken yesterday by Ministers in charge of infrastructure.

In their 10th meeting that took place in Lusaka, Zambia, 3 – 4 October 2017, the Ministers and government representatives from 15 of the 19 COMESA countries resolved to initiate action towards abolishing roaming charges levied on mobile calls.

The move is intended to bring down the price of information communication and technology services that remains high in Africa compared to other regions of the world.

In their final report, the Ministers observed: “Although the pricing of voice services in many African countries was becoming competitive and comparable with the rest of the world, the cost of broadband continued to be out of reach of most people.”

They noted that Africans paid on average 25 percent of monthly gross national income (GNI) per capita mobile cellular calls compared to 11 percent in other developing nations.

In COMESA region, studies have shown that Malawians use more than $12 (£7.70) a month on mobile phones., the minister noted.

“This is more than half of what an ordinary Malawian earns in a month which is very expensive,” the Ministers noted. Hence there was a general concern about high mobile termination and roaming charges. They noted that although mobile phones had provided new sources of originating international traffic, it was also more expensive to terminate traffic on mobile networks.

The ministers urged the COMESA member States to emulate other groupings in Africa and beyond in coming up with reduced roaming and termination charges. They cited the East African Community which has eliminated roaming and termination charges and the European Union where mobile operators were no longer charging additional fees to their customers for using their phones anywhere else in the region.

“The ICT regulators are encouraged to carry out studies to reduce the interconnection rates and reduce or eliminate the roaming charges,” said the Ministers. “Member States are encouraged to invest into the Fibre Technology to The Home (FTTH) to increase capacity and provide excellent quality.

The ministers observed that despite substantial investments in network infrastructure in the recent years, Africa lacked a robust network connectivity and high-quality, affordable Internet access.

They noted: “COMESA countries represent over 37% of the internet users in Africa and Africa represents 7% of the internet world’s users. Hence, COMESA constitutes 2.5% of the world’s population of the internet users.

In their decision, which is binding to all the COMESA countries, the Ministers called for setting up of proper regulation to encourage investment in the Virtual Mobile Network Operator (MVNOs) to enhance competition and increase access. In Africa, MVNO permits have been issued in Morocco, Kenya, and South Africa.

Australia: Woman sues as body revokes certificate of Aboriginality

Being an Aborigine can earn you good gravy from the government.  And many people who are objectively white want in.  And in Australia, white can be black -- the government says so.  It's an invitation for fraud. And you can be hauled into court for saying it is a fraud -- as Andrew Bolt found out when he was convicted by a biased Jewish judge who had no regard for his constitutional free speech rights.  I have a niece whose skin is as white as snow but she is entitled to Aboriginal privileges if she wishes to claim them, though she has not done so.  Crazy politically correct rules

A NSW woman teaching Aboriginal culture to school-aged children after being stripped of her certificate of Aboriginality in 2012 is claiming compensation in the Federal Circuit Court, saying she was discriminated against.

The Yamanda Aboriginal Association gave Elizabeth Taylor, 40, a certificate of confirmation of Aboriginality on May 23, 2010, after it was provided with a handwritten family tree at a meeting in Bowral.

Yamanda says the initial certificate was issued to avoid embarrassment, due to the large crowd of local community members in attendance at the meeting, with a full geneaology or family history required by Ms Taylor and her family within three months.

But the genealogy was not provided and on July 17, 2012, the group cancelled her certificate after a special extraordinary general meeting was called, at which elders argued Ms Taylor had failed to meet two of three criteria defining an Aboriginal person under the NSW Land Rights Act.

In 2014, Ms Taylor launched legal action against Yamanda and the Moyengully Natural Resource Management Group, seeking more than $150,000 in compensation for lost income, pain and suffering. She argues in her submissions she is of Aboriginal descent and identifies as Aboriginal.

Ms Taylor’s court challenge to Yamanda’s withdrawal of her certificate follows revelations in The Weekend Australian that one of Australia’s largest indigenous land councils has called for a standardised system of identity checks to combat an increasing number of false claims of Aboriginality.

Warren Mundine, the chairman of the Prime Minister’s Indigenous Advisory Council, has argued that a system to test claims needs to be created to cut rorting and ensure targeted taxpayer money and jobs go to Aborigines.

In June 2012, while they still held a current certificate of Aboriginality, Ms Taylor and her family applied to register Families Sharing Culture Aboriginal Corporation, a group which describes itself as an educational corporation teaching Aboriginal culture to children in schools in the Southern Highlands area. Ms Taylor is listed as the secretary of the group, whose members include her parents, husband and daughter.

Elizabeth Taylor wants more than $150,000 in compensation for lost income.

Court documents allege that, since her certificate was withdrawn, Ms Taylor won a Smith Family award for her participation as a member of the Aboriginal community, attended NAIDOC celebrations at the local community cultural centre and participated in consultations for a NSW state government-funded program.

Yamanda argues that, under the Land Rights Act, an Aboriginal person should be able to provide documentation proving they are a member of the Aboriginal race, that they identify as Aboriginal, and that they are accepted by the Aboriginal community.

Ms Taylor is not accepted as Aboriginal in her community and has insufficient proof of her Aboriginal heritage, despite a search of archives held at the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies, they say.

In arguments set out in Federal Circuit Court documents, Ms Taylor argues that the revocation of the certificate of Aboriginality discriminated against her, in breach of the Racial Discrimination Act.

She has argued that the group circulated a letter to indigenous service providers in the Southern Highlands, blocking her from working in Aboriginal-identified positions. Ms Taylor worked in an Aboriginal-identified position at a cultural centre in Moss Vale, 120km southwest of Sydney, from April 2011, after obtaining a 12-month traineeship funded by the NSW government’s Elsa Dixon Aboriginal Employment Program.

In submissions to the Federal Circuit Court, she said she had “disagreements” with Yamanda’s treasurer Eileen Warren, who had signed both the certificate certifying her Aboriginality and the letter notifying her that the certificate would be withdrawn.

Multiculturalist accused of stabbing his heavily pregnant partner appears in court on charges of attempted murder and trying to 'destroy' the baby daughter who was born after the attack

A company director accused of repeatedly stabbing his heavily pregnant partner in a street attack appeared in court today.  Babur Karamat Raja, 41, is accused of trying to kill Natalie Queiroz, 40, by knifing her 'multiple times' in the middle of a busy town centre.

He was arrested at around 3.15pm on Friday after five have-a-go-heroes stepped in during the incident, outside a Baptist church, in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands.

Ms Queiroz, who was 36-weeks pregnant, suffered multiple wounds to her abdomen.

But the mother of two, who worked as a product development manager for a pharmaceutical company, had a baby girl by caesarean section hours after the alleged attack.

The little girl is said to be doing well at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, and her mother's condition was described as stable.

Today, businessman Raja appeared before Birmingham Magistrates' Court, where he spoke only to confirm his name, address and date of birth.

He was not required to enter pleas to one charge of attempted child destruction and two charges of attempted murder when he appeared before magistrates in Birmingham.

Magistrates heard that Raja is accused of possessing a knife in a public place and attempting to kill both divorcee Ms Queiroz and passer-by John Mitchell, who suffered a hand injury as he tried to intervene.

Raja has also been charged with assaulting another witness, Anthony Smith, and is alleged to have attempted to 'destroy' the life of the unborn baby girl.

Raja, of Sutton Coldfield, appeared in the dock handcuffed to a guard wearing a grey t-shirt and grey jogging bottoms and kept his head bowed for the duration of the 10 minute hearing.

Shahzad Imam, prosecuting, told the court: 'The complainant, Mrs Queiroz, states her relationship with the defendant lasted 18 months and she was 36 weeks pregnant at the time of the incident.'

He said that Mr Mitchell and Mr Smith were also injured.

'The victim was airlifted to hospital in a critical condition where she was given an induced birth. 'Both parties remain in hospital.'

Raja was remanded in custody and will appear at Birmingham Crown Court on April 6.

Chairman of the bench Geoffrey Shuttleworth said: 'You will appear by video link at the crown court and will be remanded in custody until then

During Friday's attack, brave witnesses, including an off-duty prison officer, rushed to help the Ms Queiroz, who was bleeding heavily while others flagged down a passing police patrol car.

She was airlifted to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital where her baby girl was delivered by caesarean section.

Why did I resign as a lawyer last week?

Ezra Levant

You might have heard the news: I resigned as a member of the Law Society of Alberta last week. I actually had to apply for permission to quit.

Now, that’s not really news — I haven’t worked at a law firm in 13 years. I’m a journalist and activist. But for some reason, there were more than 100 news stories about my resignation.

I’ll tell you the reason: because it was a matter of freedom of speech.

You see, even though I was a non-practicing lawyer, I was still governed by the Law Society’s code of professional conduct. That’s supposed to discipline lawyers who do things like steal money from their clients — serious, professional malpractice. But there’s also a catch-all provision to discipline lawyers who engage in “unbecoming” conduct.

Well, over the last eight years, left-wing political extremists have abused that provision to file 26 nuisance complaints against me, claiming my journalism and political activism was “unbecoming".

I’d been a lawyer for almost sixteen years. So why did all these nuisance complaints start eight years ago? Because that’s when I launched my campaign against Canada’s corrupt human rights commissions, and their censorship powers.

Not a single one of these complaints against me was ever upheld. I resigned with a perfect record. But each time I’d beat one complaint, leftist activists would simply file a new one. Because it cost them nothing — and it cost me thousands of dollars to fight each complaint.

The process itself became the punishment. So I applied to get out. But not before I gave the Law Society a piece of my mind.

I fought so hard against these leftist bullies for eight years, but finally decided to quit.

Finally, the bleeding from the legal bills is over — at least in this forum. But unfortunately, I’ve still got plenty of nuisance suits being filed against me in other courts, by many of the same activists. In fact, my next court date is coming up in May.

I hate these vexatious suits against me. But I know one thing: people never shoot at a dead duck. The fact that 26 nuisance complaints were filed against me is a grim compliment. These leftists know I’m making a difference, or they wouldn’t be trying so hard to bankrupt me.

What happened to celebrating free speech? Australian homosexuals prevent criticism of Leftist leader

Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras organisers have defended their heated approach to refugee advocates who were told they would not be in the parade after protesting at a Labor press conference.

A video posted by organisers of the No Pride in Detention float shows a heated confrontation with Mardi Gras producer Anthony Russell who told them they would not be in the march if they continued to shout slogans at federal opposition leader Bill Shorten.

'If I bring Bill Shorten out here and one of you people say something to him, you are not in the f***ing have a chat to your people,' Mr Russell can be heard saying.

 'If you don't act like a normal human being all in the parade together, you're out.'

When questioned by refugee advocate Ed McMahon in the video, the producer says 'I don't care, don't harass people,' before stating his role and name as producer Anthony Russell.

A statement released by Mardi Gras CEO Michele Bauer said NSW Police had reported to march producers there had been an 'unacceptable level of harassment and offensive comments from the No Pride in Detention float members being directed towards members of the Rainbow Labor float.

'Police requested parade officials ensure the safety of the Rainbow Labor float participants during the parade.'

Ms Bauer said the No Pride in Detention float had an important message to send and to prevent police from intervening and removing the float from the parade, a last minute decision to reshuffle the run order was made.

She said tensions were 'understandably high' after producer Anthony Russell used strong language toward the No Pride in Detention float participants.

'The level of harassment reported to parade officials, just prior to 12,500 people commencing to march along Oxford Street, meant that tensions were understandably high,' she said.

'Many people had worked for many months on the co-ordination of the 178 floats in the parade, not to mention the work of thousands of parade participants.'

However, No Pride in Detention said in a statement that Bill Shorten's office and Mardi Gras 'pushed to expel the group' for their support for refugees.

Ed McMahon, the refugee advocate who features in the video, said he was abused by a Mardi Gras representative because the float made politicians uncomfortable.

'As a compromise, we were moved back while accompanied by an extra contingent of heavily armed riot police,' he said.

The refugee advocates justified their right to use Mardi Gras to push a political message but said tensions arose not long after Mr Shorten gave a press conference promoting Labor's stance on queer rights.

No Pride in Detention member Evan van Zijl, 29, told the Daily Mail the fallout from the incident highlighted a racist undertone.

‘I think it’s an interesting contradiction that Labor and Mardi Gras are saying it was the decision of the police. There is the video recording of blatant aggression from Mardi Gras,’ Mr van Zijl said.

‘This is not about abuse and harassment of our protesters it’s about a clear reference of whether you are racist or not racist as members of a party.

‘There are many Labor members who sided with us and oppose mandatory detention, unfortunately Shorten’s office isn’t taking that perspective.'

In a statement to the Daily Mail, Bill Shorten's office denied he asked for the No Pride in Detention to be rescheduled to appear several floats behind.

'That's not correct. Given the significance of the occasion, we were keen to ensure everyone was able to march,' the statement read.

Political correctness is most pervasive in universities and colleges but I rarely report the  incidents concerned here as I have a separate blog for educational matters.

American "liberals" often deny being Leftists and say that they are very different from the Communist rulers of  other countries.  The only real difference, however, is how much power they have.  In America, their power is limited by democracy.  To see what they WOULD be like with more power, look at where they ARE already  very powerful: in America's educational system -- particularly in the universities and colleges.  They show there the same respect for free-speech and political diversity that Stalin did:  None.  So look to the colleges to see  what the whole country would be like if "liberals" had their way.  It would be a dictatorship.

04927X1+0.22829X2-5.20710X12-6.18927X22 equation(4) AC3=16.32000+2.10063X1+0.46313X2-0.67402X3-5.11916X12-3.21701X22-1.45959X32where AC1, AC2, and AC3 stand for the activity of CMCase, FPase, and xylanase, respectively. Using the response surface method (RSM), with the temperature value fixed in the optimal condition, the relations between factors buy GW-572016 and response can be better understood, showing

that time and water content affect the behaviour of enzymatic active. With data obtained from the Surface Response Graph, using the optimal value for temperature, a tendency can be observed of the enzymatic active as a function of time and water content. Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 illustrate combinations of the effects of independent variables on enzyme activity; through the derivatives of Eqs. (2), (3) and (4), it can be observed that the optimal activity point for enzyme CMCase is at time 82.88 h, water content 51.48% and temperature 29.46 °C, whereas FPase at time 80.62 h, water content was 50.19% and temperature of 30.00 °C, for enzyme xylanase the optimal activity

point was GPCR Compound Library at time 81.92 h, water content 50.72% and temperature was 28.85 °C. It is necessary to take into consideration that A. niger synthesised the enzyme with the potato waste and water at various concentrations, thus demonstrating that it is a constitutive enzyme. It was found that in this experiment, fermentation time significantly influenced enzyme production, which lasted approximately 80 h these for all enzymatic activities. One hypothesis for this result would be that the presence of nutrients dispersed throughout the fermentation may have contributed to the growth of the microorganism, and the decay of these nutrients over time may have affected enzyme activity, and it was the decay of the microbial production and therefore the enzyme production. Water content is a very significant factor in the fermentation process. High water activity causes the decrease in porosity of the substrate, thereby reducing the exchange of gases. On the other hand, low water activity may result in the reduction of microbial growth and consequent

lower production of the enzyme (Mahanta, Gupta, & Khare, 2008). It was noted that approximately 50% moisture was ideal for obtaining the enzyme studied here. In the other water activities studied, the values ranged between 40% and 60%, with a decrease in fungal activity possibly related to inhibition of the fungus, marked by extrapolation of the ideal water level for the development of the line selected in the case of 60%, or low activity of water needed for the fungus to develop as might have occurred in 40%. These two conditions may have influenced the metabolism responsible for enzyme production. Enzymes usually have an expression control mechanism that can be stimulated or inhibited by products of the medium. The end products of a particular metabolic pathway are often inhibitors of enzymes that catalyse the first steps of the pathway.

Pink Eyed Monster

Poor Lilly, she just got over a cold...but not before passing it to Bryan and I, and now she has pink eye. In both eyes. No biggie though, I called the doctor and he sent in a prescription for eye drops without me even having to bring her to his office. Needless to say she hates getting the eye drops in, but she is very brave and lets us do it anyway. Of course she needs a drink of milk and a cuddle afterward to make her feel better.
After administering the eye drops, drink and cuddle Bryan put the eye drops away (I know, I was as shocked as you are) and this is what he found when he came back into the living room. Lilly was putting eye drops into her baby's eyes.
Then she gave her a drink of her milk and a cuddle.
Then, I asked her to smile and show me her eyes and this is the face I got. As you can see pink eye doesn't bother her a bit.

First Taste of Spring

While sitting on the couch earlier this week I looked out the window at the wind and rain and wondered how cold it actually was. So, I looked up the temperature for that day, but was immediately distracted by the weather forecast for Thursday. It was promising to be 69 and sunny. I wasted no time in planning a park day, the first of the year. After a little discussion my friend Tania and I decided that a picnic at the park with cupcakes at the new pastry shop to follow was just the thing.
Well, as usual, the weather man was wrong. It was not sunny, it was cloudy and windy. And, it was not 69 degrees, it was closer to 50. But, we stuck to the plan, added a couple of sweatshirts and headed to the park.
Lilly and Avery insisted on wearing their sunglasses even though the sun would not make an appearance for another hour or so. They also insisted on holding hands all the way to the playground and then on the walk to the bakery.
Lilly and Avery decided very early in the day that they would both be having a pink cupcake. They didn't care at all what the flavor was, just as long as the frosting was pink. When we walked into the pastry shop they marched right up to the counter, still holding hands of course, and Lilly said to the lady, "I want a pink cupcake, and she does too".
Preparing to enjoy the cupcake. Enjoying the cupcake.
On a side note: The cupcakes were a little different than what the girls expected ad neither Lilly nor Avery finished the icing or took a bite of the actual cupcake. What was meant to be a fun treat after a great day of playing was actually more like a punishment. The girls were excited about ordering pink cupcakes, but that's pretty much where the fun and excitement ended. They each licked a little of the icing off and then declared that they were all done and wanted to get down. But, not before Lilly sneezed all over her cupcake and the table and not before Avery stuck her icing covered tongue in Tania's water and coughed in her face.

The Second Time Around

Being born second means that everything you do has been done before and you need to pull out all the stops to impress your parents, because they've seen it all before. As a second child I have spent my most of my life blaming my parents for this and for failing to remember many of my precious moments like they had most of Wes's. His first steps, first words and many other firsts are all accurately recorded, either on film and paper or simply tucked neatly into my mother's memory. There are pictures of Wes in all stages of childhood. To be fair there are pictures of me doing the same things, but Wes is in most of them too. I have been somewhat bitter about this, swearing that I wouldn't do the same thing when I had kids.
So, when Lilly was born I took pictures, waited patiently for milestones so I could record them and then wrote about most of them in this very blog. I was determined to do the same with my second baby. Then, that second baby was actually born and we became extremely busy. Too busy to take pictures, too busy to make notes, and too busy to record everything. But, I wasn't too busy to notice. And, I'll throw this out there...I wasn't too busy to acknowledge that my mom was right, it is really hard to be involved with my kids and take pictures at the same time.
Jack is flying through milestones. He smiled for the first time right on cue and then recently he added laughing to his resume. We did get some really cute video of that, but we didn't need to because he'll laugh almost on command. (Its a deep raspy little laugh, but its happy and cute). Then, just yesterday he rolled over. And yes, I missed it. I put him on his back on his blanket with a mirrored toy. Then, I went to help Lilly in the potty. When I got back Jack was on his tummy, up on his elbows and grinning from ear to ear. He obviously knew he had done something special and was very proud of himself.

In fact, these principles will help us FIND OUT what we want to do and where we want to go with life!
<![CDATA[January 26th, 2016]]>Wed, 27 Jan 2016 02:06:21 GMThttp://pearl-of-life.weebly.com/business-opportunity/nature-pearl-side-effects<![CDATA[January 24th, 2016]]>Sun, 24 Jan 2016 13:19:55 GMThttp://pearl-of-life.weebly.com/business-opportunity/thm-musings<![CDATA[What is Holding YOU Back?]]>Wed, 02 Dec 2015 13:39:02 GMThttp://pearl-of-life.weebly.com/business-opportunity/what-is-holding-you-backFor so many of us, there are huge fears that KEEP us from hopping on board with a home based business that could possibly be life-changing.

Fear of failure ... fear of rejection... fear of not knowing what to DO with it... and even fear of success. No matter which fear it is, it is simply a means the enemy of our souls is using to keep us from embarking on something that could be the answer we have been crying out for!

How do I know this?

Because I have BEEN there. And honestly, I don't think we will ever NOT be faced with some of these issues. No matter where we are in life, there will always be something to face, something to overcome, some mountain to scale.... if we have even an ounce of entrepreneurship in us. That is why we are not satisfied with the boring 9-5 job, eat, sleep and party on the weekend lifestyle that 90% of Americans have succumbed to.

I personally think that EVERYONE should get involved in SOME sort of network marketing business.

Here's why.

When you take that leap and start your very own home based business, for starters, it is JUST that. YOUR VERY OWN BUSINESS!

Now we have a  tool in our hands that has the potential of unlocking things we have only ever dreamed about. Things we may have GIVEN UP dreaming about.

Plus we join hands with a team of others that have the same passion and goals that we have. So now we are surrounding ourselves with something other than the 'normal negative work place drama' crowd.

All the successful people say that we are like the people we hang out with the most!

I think the reason there is so much fear and intimidation involved with the thought of joining a NM company is because there is so much potential... and also because so many people have 'tried and failed' at it.

My thought on that is that nothing worth having ever comes easy! :-)

A few simple hints on choosing WHAT business to hop on board with, in my humble opinion are....

1) Find one with products you can get excited about ( if you are a health nut, then maybe joining a make-up company might not be ideal?)

2) If it gets dropped into your lap at a time you are not expecting, make sure to pay attention! ( I was NOT looking for a business when I found Natures Pearl but it was definitely a 'God thing' when my friend called me up to tell me about it... it was a divine intervention for our health issues)

 Other than that - just take a leap of faith... hop on and than HANG ON as you embark on the personal development journey of your life!

Westerra Grant Winner

Westerra Grant Winner
Posted on 10/25/2017
This is the image for the news article titled Westerra Grant Winner

The 2nd graders are working on a PBL project to answer the question, "What can we do so the food in our Peiffer Community Garden doesn't go to waste?"  The students brainstormed many possibilities and eventually decided to create a farmer's market to sell the surplus vegetables.  One question they discussed was: How do we get all the materials we need to set up and run the market?  One solution to that problem was to write a grant proposal to Westerra explaining our project and what we planned to do with the $500 if we were successful.  Thankfully we were able to get the grant and now the kids can move forward with their planning!  Look forward to many bountiful harvests in the future and a Peiffer Farmer's Market to go along with them!

Wool Weekend

I attended a felting course at Röykkälä's organic sheep farm in Central Finland. I had lovely time with four of my colleagues from my day job. In the picture there's my first ever felted work.
In the picture below is the actual project I was working for the weekend. It's a bag, of course, but still a bit unfinished. The needle felting motifs will fill the surface and I am going to add fabric lining and fabric strap to the bag.
There are more pictures about the farm in my finnish sock knitting blog Sukanvarsi. I really enjoyed the weekend!

  1. love the felted bag. nice color choices and simple, modern design.

  2. Great blog! I love the wool art and the sheep, I am following you now.

Billy falling by John’s studio

Spring Run Kicks Off May 25th

Tickets On Sale to General Public Starting March 2

Michael Hepworth

Los Angeles, CA (Perfect Music Today) 2/27/18/  – Announced today, legendary rock musicians and cultural icons John Fogerty and ZZ Top will come together for the “Blues and Bayous Tour” this spring.  The tour, which opens on May 25th , will make stops across the USA from the East Coast to the West.  The full tour schedule is attached, below.

Tickets go on sale starting Friday, March 2 at 10 AM local time.  And presale tickets become available on Tuesday, February 27th at 10:00am local time.  More information can be found by visiting http://www.zztop.com/ and https://www.johnfogerty.com/

ZZ Top’s Billy F Gibbons commented, “John Fogerty along with ZZ Top have been followers of blues and rock since the beginning and we’re looking forward to rippin’ it up together this spring.   We’ve got a great show lined up for ya’!”

Of the pairing, Fogerty said, “ZZ Top is one of my favorite bands, and Billy F Gibbons is one of my all-time favorite guitarists. Riffs, blues and bayous… bucket list!”

ZZ Top holds the distinction of being one of the longest running bands with the original line-up.  Billy F Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard reflect their Texas roots in everything with their non-stop rock and blues, resulting in over 50 million albums sold worldwide.  The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Keith Richards calling the band’s relationship to the blues, “the heart of the matter.”

As co-founder of Creedence Clearwater Revival, Fogerty’s career spans 50 years and he is hailed as one of the most influential musicians in rock history. As the writer, singer and producer of numerous classic hits including “Born on the Bayou”, “Green River”, “Proud Mary”, and “Bad Moon Rising”, Fogerty has been honored as one of the 100 Greatest Guitarists, 100 Greatest Songwriters, and 100 Greatest Singers by Rolling Stone. Earning induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Songwriters Hall of Fame, and Baseball Hall of Fame, he is also a New York Times best-selling author for his memoir, Fortunate Son: My Life, My Music.

A sneak peak of what’s in store as ZZ’s Billy F Gibbons joins up with John for an impromptu session at Lost Canyon Studio.  Many have contended that this pairing was pre-ordained and we completely agree.  Watch! https://vimeo.com/257642051/1135721ed5

Things You Ought To Know About Customized Whisky

Despite the fact that personalised whisky is synonymous with party displays around the world, not so many people actually know how helpful it can be whenever appreciating a loved one. Generally, these types of whiskys are customized and crammed for presentation as presents to friends and colleagues during celebrations. Some of the notable occasions where you are bound to find them include marriage ceremonies, engagement parties, corporate get-togethers, anniversaries and birthday parties. The personalization of these whiskys has made them ideal gifts for people interested in making their recipients feel special. Additionally, the bottles can be kept as mementos with regard to remembering those special occasions.

Typical options and other branded products

Whether it is a friend, a partner or perhaps a colleague at work, surprising them with a professionally customized whiskey bottle is the best thing you can ever do. On the list of whiskey options, there is little or fine malt, sparkling wines, blended whiskey, vodka or perhaps champagne. You can also shop online regarding other products like Smirnoff, Bailey's Irish Cream, Southern Comfort O.V.N, Jack Daniels and Glenfiddich. Most of these are compatible with valentines or even the celebration of your new house.

Personalisation and shipping

Most personalised whiskys have customized texts printed on the jar and the casing. Others come with company logos, photographs or perhaps family tartans. Great personalised labeling to celebrate a friend or even colleague may have a photograph with a few texts to appreciate the beneficiary. These come in various pre-defined designs however you may also have your ideas included just to add an extra personal feel to the package. Since most of the ordering work is carried out online, most dealers may send a copy of the style to you via e-mail so that you can accept or state the changes that ought to be implemented.

It is also good to remember that, some personalised whisky retailers can have the bottle decreased at your recipients' residence or business office after packing to save the actual time and money you would have used on ferrying them to your preferred destination. Some examples of popular packaging containers that most buyers love range from the satin-lined presentation box and the satin-lined silver precious metal presentation box. However, it is usually advisable to ensure the artwork you return to the personalised whisky dealer has no copyright infringement in order to save time spent on unnecessary cases. If you have been looking for the best way to appreciate your friend, partner or relative, then these customized rum brands will be the best solution to suit your needs.

The hot weather continues so that means spending time indoors playing and trying to keep me entertained. We had a visitor from the nursing agency today which gave me someone new to show off too. While she was trying to talk to Mommy and Lucille I kept interrupting her to demonstrate my dance moves. Hey - everyone is an audience right?

J&J needs a cure: new CEO allegedly had links to fraud - Forbes

A motion filed last week in a potential multi-billion healthcare fraud case against Johnson & Johnson provides another apparent example of how to succeed in business without really complying.
The federal government states in a motion that Alex Gorsky, who is set to become Johnson & Johnson’s next chief executive officer this month, “was actively involved in matters at issue in this case,” which alleges Johnson & Johnson paid kickbacks to induce Omnicare, the nation’s largest nursing home pharmacy, to purchase and recommend Risperdal and other J&J drugs. Gorsky, the government says, “has firsthand knowledge of the alleged fraud.”
The government says Gorsky “also was involved in approving payments to Omnicare under the 2000 Consulting and Services Agreement,” which the government alleges were actually kickbacks.

HAVERTOWN, Pa. (CBS) – Seven people were injured in a train accident in Delaware County Friday night, according to SEPTA officials.

A Norristown High Speed Line train in Havertown became uncoupled a little before 8 p.m. The train, which was headed to the Norristown Transportation Center, had just left the Penfield Station when the two cars separated; the end car struck the other, then reattached.

Six people were treated at the scene; a seventh person was taken to the hospital for observation.

After some delay, the Norristown High Speed Line resumed normal service.

Investigators are looking into the cause of the accident.

    Maggie Mund, CCRA Streets Committee Chairperson, recently met with representatives of the city’s Office of Transportation and Infrastructure Systems (OTIS) on a number of issues involving streets in the CCRA footprint. The results of this meeting were the following:

    • South Street’s protected bike lane on the south side of South Street (where the current unprotected bike lane exists) is expected to be in place in the spring of 2018. It should be noted that both the South of South Neighborhood Association (SOSNA) and the South Street West Business Association (SSWBA) approved these plans.
    • Safety improvements are needed for 27th Street between South and Lombard Streets. Safety posts, repainting and other measures are needed immediately on this block. OTIS will provide CCRA’s executive committee pictures and specific details for their review, comment and approval of these improvements in time for their implementation by the end of 2017.
    • Major changes are planned for Lombard Street from 22nd to 27th Streets. Traffic patterns are being considered which will utilize stop signs instead of traffic lights. OTIS plans to do a more in depth study on the issue with CCRA’s involvement. Prior to the anticipated implementation date of late 2018, there will be more effective striping on Lombard Street by the end of this year.

    The night of October 24, 2017 brought a large crowd to Beth Zion-Beth Israel to hear Beth Grossman, the Republican candidate for DA, and Larry Krasner, the Democratic candidate for DA, debate the serious issues they will face as the #1 Prosecutor for the City of Philadelphia. Moderated by the esteemed Inquirer political writer, Chris Brennan, Chris was adept at allowing the candidates to clearly distinguish themselves from each other about how they would each handle a myriad of crimes, including Mr. Krasner's reputation as a defender of the the accused and non-prosecutorial experience vs. Ms. Grossman's experience as a prosecutor of the accused. Chris included some audience questions as well.   The event was organized by the CCRA Government Relations Committee.

    As we previously reported, additional Philadelphia 9th District and Narcotics Field Unit officers this summer have resulted in many arrests. Those officers and arrests continue to this day.  Some of these officers are in uniform, many are in plain clothes.

    The arrests are now mostly for hydroponic marijuana sales and possession, but also for heroin and crack cocaine.  Sums of cash have been confiscated.  One search warrant was served.  These activities at one point were occurring in an underground area and the officers were able to shut that down.  The suspects are varied in age, income levels, backgrounds and where they come from, making the investigations more difficult.

    A number of additional bike officers on all shifts are forthcoming and Howl at the Moon (258 south 15th street) hired 2 Philadelphia police officers to patrol on the weekend evenings outside of their business. This establishment has also been instructed to hire more bouncers outside.

    It is important that residents are vigilant at all times.  A great help to the officers is if you can make note and advise them of specific times, locations and suspects, including what they are wearing, patterns of what's happening when and where, etc.  Please call the 9th District's Community Liaison Officer, Officer Mobley,  at (215) 686-3090 with such information.
    If an incident is occurring in real time, please call 911.  If there is no or an unsatisfactory response within a reasonable time, please re-call 911 and ask for a supervisor.

    The CCRA Board of Directors has endorsed the Fair Districts PA movement, which is a nonpartisan, citizen-led group working to fight gerrymandering.  Redistricting will happen after the 2020 Census, so time is of the essence.  Fair Districts PA wants to make the redistricting process impartial, transparent and accountable, by creating an independent citizens’ panel to lead the redistricting effort in an open door process, with clear standards.

    To do that, Fair Districts PA is holding information and mobilization sessions.

    The next event is October 3rd from 5:30 to 8:30 PM at the Pyramid Club, 1735 Market St, Philadelphia. The featured guest will be Katherine Gehl, former CEO of Gehl Foods and a strong supporter of redistricting reform in her own state of Wisconsin.  This is a ticketed event: Tickets - Why Competition in the Politics Industry is Failing America.

    Then, on October 6th is Justice and Gerrymandering: Why Redistricting Reform Matters, at the Unitarian Society of Germantown, 6511 Lincoln Drive, Philadelphia. The event is from 9am  to noon, and will focus on an overview of gerrymandering and the need for reform.

    For the past 3 years, CCRA’s Government Relations Committee, particularly Harvey Sacks (CCRA VP of Government Relations) and Matthew Fontana (CCRA Executive Vice President), has been working diligently to stop the protracted idling of CSX trains that block resident access to the Schuylkill River Trail at Locust Street, disturb the use and enjoyment of property for those living in and near the tracks, cause excessive fumes and noise (especially at night), and can cause possible delays in police and other emergency personnel’s reaction time to critical events that occur in and around the trail.  The majority of the time, the idling is due to crew changes.

    The City has an agreement with CSX that may require CSX to idle the trains further north of the most densely populated areas of Philly, in Belmont Plateau.  The City's Legal Department and Office of Transportation and Infrastructure Systems (OTIS) have been willing to work with us to resolve this dilemma and have opened up a line of communications between them and CSX’s legal department.

    We have met with a myriad of for and not-for profit entities that also boarder the trail and all are passionate to resolve this issue.

    We have been joined in this effort by Logan Square Neighborhood Association, as they have the same issues as relates to Race Street access.  Whenever the trains idle, both Race and Locust Streets access points are simultaneously blocked.

    After having the City perform a noise study for us and approaching a number of federal agencies that regulate the railroad industry, we have recently approached US Senator Casey and have formally requested he meet with the new CSX president to help find a resolution to the idiling trains.  Senator Toomey has also been helpful in prior communication with certain federal agencies.

    We will keep you apprised.   If you have any information to report or would like to know more please reach out to the CCRA and we will connect you with Harvey or Matt.

    CCRA met with Streets Commissioner Carlton Williams and discussed a number of neighborhood issues.  Among the most timely was the installation of new and refurbished Big Bellies, scheduled for mid to the end of October.  All the units will be combined trash and recycling units.  All new units will have footpedals; refurbished units will be designed with openings and no handles.  CCRA will be canvassing the neighborhood and recommending additional locations.  If you would like to participate in this survey, please contact the office.   We will keep the members informed as more is known about the installation specifics.

    CCRA learned that the Philadelphia 9th Police District is looking to hire 10 new bike officers.  While this is great news, we also learned that the bike officers have to pay for their own specialized bikes and equipment.  The money does not come from any city funds.  The cost is approximately $3,000 per bike officer.

    The CCRA Board is considering making a donation to the 9th District to help shoulder these costs.  In connection with this effort, we are also soliciting additional funds from our residents and local businesses.

    If you wish to contribute, please make your check out to “9th Police District PDAC” and forward it to the CCRA office at 1608 Walnut Street, 12th Floor, Philadelphia, PA, 19103.

    The issue of criminal activity in the area around 15th Street, from Market to Pine Streets, has been a matter of concern for some residents.  Many people are particularly worried about drug activity occurring in this area from 11pm to 3am from Thursday through Saturday nights.

    CCRA is pleased to report that the new Captain of the Philadelphia 9th Police District, Robert Ritchie, has been able to secure much needed extra police resources in this area.  That is something not easy to do in a city, like Philadelphia, with tight budgets, and in a police district that is quite large.  As a result, the police have been able to increase arrests in the area around 15th Street.

    Residents with specific concerns about the 15th Street Corridor or other policing issues are invited to attend the monthly 9th District Town Hall, which is held at the Precinct located at 401 N. 21st Street (by 21st Street and Pennsylvania Avenue).  The CCRA Government Relations Committee regularly sends two (2) members to attend these meeting

    We will keep you apprised.

The following area businesses help make
CCRA programs and activities possible with
 their financial and other support:

Cam Newton, the victim

Have you noticed a theme? Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton says criticism of him is basically because he’s black. Beyonce gave an alleged nod to the Black Panthers and the Black Lives Matter movement at halftime of the Super Bowl. These are two of the most accomplished people in the country acting as though they’re facing oppression in 1962.

When Cam was asked by CBS to explain his race comments he said people were scared because a black man had never reached his level before. Hello. A black man named Russell Wilson made it to the Super Bowl two years in a row, Cam. And guess what? He actually won one of them. Not to mention Steve McNair in 2000.

Newton acts like he’s broken some color barrier by making it to the Super Bowl and that people are afraid of a powerful black man. It’s comical, really. He seems to be the only one obsessed with it. The people who were criticizing him in the run-up to the Super Bowl were doing so because he’s cocky. Sure, there are probably some racists out there who don’t like Cam or any other black folks, but they are such a small percentage. Some people just don’t like Cam Newton just like some people don’t like Tom Brady or Johnny Football. They all have their reasons, but race isn’t one of them.

But you know where all this is coming from, right? Directly from the White House. President Obama was supposed to put a dagger in the race issue. Instead, he evoked race every chance he got. He had a golden opportunity to bury the race issue and he chose instead to exploit it for his own political gain. So no wonder impressionable people like Beyonce and Cam Newton turn to race as an excuse.

I think Newton’s fixation on race lost him the Super Bowl, to be quite honest. He came into that game acting like he was Jackie Robinson or somebody and nobody took him seriously. I think that frustrated him. He was too focused on being a victim and not focused enough on winning. And look, Cam Newton has been the poster boy for what it takes to be a winner in America, no matter what color you are. His life has been about focus and overcoming his mistakes and getting back into the game. He’s an inspiration to so many, but he’s got to learn how to lose gracefully.

He said of his post-game walk-out, “Show me a good loser and I’ll show you a loser.” That’s just another excuse. Instead of owning up to the fact that he acted like a jerk, he wants to put forth this notion that only losers are graceful in defeat.

I get it. It’s not fun to lose, especially the Super Bowl, but maturity requires more of an NFL quarterback. Nobody’s dissing you, Cam, because you’re black. We’re disappointed because you haven’t learned how to lose with grace. What a great message that would send to the youth of America. That’s why so many people without a dog in the fight were pulling for Peyton Manning. Not only was this the last hurrah for Peyton, he’s a guy who commands respect. He’s a player who hates to lose but loses, for the most part, with dignity.

I’m wondering, with this attitude, if Cam Newton will be back next year. People talked about how much he had matured over the last three years, but it’s awfully easy to be mature when you’re winning. It’s losing that tests your mettle.

Hearts and Flowers

As a special present for my friend Lynda, I made this Patchwork Memory Heart, which I found on the ‘allaboutyou' website. We were visiting UK for a few days and this was a thank you for a lovely time.
I remembered that her colour scheme was blue and yellow, with a sunflower painting and other sunflower themed pieces. The back of the heart is all sunflower fabric and I made up the patchwork from my fabric stash. I had already made the cross-stitch design, possibly to use in a card.

 It doesn’t have a useful purpose and is purely decorative (unless you wanted a giant pincushion or somewhere to pin shopping lists). Lynda was delighted with it and after trying it in several places she chose a spot by the kitchen window. Now I think I’d like to make some more with different themes, but first I have a crochet project to begin!
Now where shall I hang it?

A Repeating Pattern

My first attempt at a crochet dress for my daughter and my son wearing hand-me-downs!
So, having embarrassed my son by dressing him in a bright blue angel top as a baby,  I compounded the issue by making him wear a playsuit and hat in a pretty cool cotton print, which had been made originally for his sister. I think these days it’s described as ditsy print for some reason. Well he didn’t seem to mind too much then, and it was practical.

The original owner of the ‘ditsy print’ playsuit - my daughter

 I continued to hone my needle -skills by making most of my offsprings’ clothes. I even embroidered their little towelling bibs!

The dress my daughter is wearing was my next big challenge, and I was really pleased with it. I still have the pattern. I have a vague memory that the child model was Patsy Kensit, though I may be wrong, and it doesn’t say so anywhere. My daughter got a lot of wear out of it and I probably then passed it on to a friend. Yes thrifting was around in the seventies too!

So I decided to make one for my three-year old granddaughter - thirty odd years later.

Holidaying in Croatia

A four day long weekend provided the perfect excuse to take some time off and spend a week in Croatia, chasing the summer sun. My Dad is visiting at the moment, so the three of us headed off together last Saturday. It was the first time that any of us had ever visited Croatia. The Dalmatian coastline is spectacular. We rented a terrific house in the hills above Makarska, a popular tourist town about an hour from Split and two hours from Dubrovnik.

MakarskaWe spent the week taking day trips (Dubrovnik and the nearby islands), heading down the hill for a swim at the beach, lounging about on the terrace, reading, playing cards and watching the sunset.

One of the highlights for me was our short drive to the nearby Biokovo National Park. I was expecting us to just park the car and go for a short hike in the pine forest, but when we arrived, we found the park consists of the highest mountain road in Croatia: 23kms of terrifyingly narrow, steep road that took us up to the 1,762m mountain peak. It was an incredible drive and I was grateful to complete it without scratching the hire car. In some places, the two-way road was barely wide enough for one car! Well, that may be exaggerating, but it was a challenging and exciting drive. This video of cyclists making the downhill run gives an impression.

Overall, I really enjoyed the holiday in Croatia, but for a region that relies upon tourism, they could a better job of some things. The food was disappointing and the tourist information was either non-existent or overwhelming. We wanted to buy a nice momento, but struggled to find anything beyond rows and rows of tourist trash markets. However, the people were lovely and the weather was gorgeous. If you like watersports and don't mind pebbly beaches, it is a very affordable and worthwhile holiday destination.
