The inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), in 2008, was held within months of Virat Kohli’s side lifting the Under-19 World Cup in Kuala Lumpur. Several members of that squad, picked by the eight franchises through a draft, featured in various playing elevens with only reasonable success.
Many Indian youngsters outside of the World Cup-winning team too populated the IPL landscape, most notably for Rajasthan Royals under Shane Warne. Tightly drawn purse-strings necessitated them to think out of the box; Warne’s wondrous man-management skills brought the best out of players like Swapnil Asnodkar, Ravindra Jadeja, and Yusuf Pathan as Rajasthan threw pre-competition predictions out of the window on their way to the title.
Since those early days when rules mandated that they pick budding youngsters, franchises have been conservative while investing in untapped Indian talent. Admittedly, the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya broke through, but they were the exceptions. Until Season 13, that is.
The United Arab Emirates has thrown up a kaleidoscopic explosion of exceptional Indian influence. By definition, the IPL is driven by indigenous capabilities, what with no more than four overseas players allowed in an eleven. But hitherto dependent on established Indian superstars, franchises have been rewarded this time around for placing their faith in lesser-known domestic players who have responded to the show of confidence in stirring fashion.
Let’s sample this collection. Devdutt Padikkal. Priyam Garg. Abhishek Sharma. Abdul Samad. Shivam Mavi. Kamlesh Nagarkoti. Varun Chakravarthy. Ravi Bishnoi. Riyan Parag. Rahul Tewatia. Mahipal Lomror. A few had played the odd game previously but were not persisted with for four or five matches at a stretch. Now, allowed by their teams to express themselves and show the world what they are capable of, they have taken wing, rapidly moving towards making themselves household names.
One of the reasons these names were able to start is the tournament was the long hiatus in cricketing activity owing to the coronavirus pandemic. When teams assembled in the UAE to dust off the rust and kick-start their preparations, the youngsters took less time to get back into the fitness and skills scheme of things than more battle-hardened, and battle-weary, players for whom the route back was just that little more arduous. The first tick in the box earned somewhat fortuitously, they have subsequently made their own luck, unleashing one impact performance after another to firmly train the spotlight on themselves.
It has helped, too, that the tournament is being staged outside India, and in front of empty stands. For a 19- and 20-year-old to walk into a cauldron like the Chinnaswamy Stadium or Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, with 30,000-plus fans creating an electrifying atmosphere of unceasing din and crackling energy, can be a daunting proposition. Accustomed only to playing in front of the proverbial two men and a dog, nerves have come in the way of meaningful displays in the past. Insulated from that pressure and therefore not intimidated by the noise, colour and weight of instant success, they have been able to ease into the competition, left solely to focus on their skills and on how to outsmart the best in the opposition ranks.
What has been most notable is the composure and poise these kids have shown. No longer nervous wrecks sharing a dressing-room with Kohli, David Warner or Steve Smith, or being coached by legends like Anil Kumble, VVS Laxman, Ricky Ponting and Mahela Jayawardene, their immense self-belief has been a thing of beauty. They look the part, like they belong on the largest non-international stage in the cricketing stratosphere. Confident without being cocky, assured but not arrogant, they have struck the right chord with their more illustrious teammates who have readily and willingly shared their expertise and wisdom. The synergy between the young and those not overly so, as well as between the proven and the ambitious, has been a standout feature of IPL 2020, possibly a template around which franchises will construct their campaigns going forward.
In their success too is a ringing endorsement of the robust grassroots structure prevalent in Indian cricket. Like Kohli and Jadeja, like Kings XI lynchpins KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal, many of these players have come through the ranks, and are therefore steeped in orthodoxy and strong basics. Because they play so much competitive cricket when still in their teens, they are comfortably match-ready by the time they graduate out of the junior ranks, the sense of being overawed weaned away in the last five years by Rahul Dravid primarily.
The former India skipper took over as coach of the India ‘A’ and India Under-19 teams in 2015 and continued in that role for four years. Under him, a majority of these newcomers, as well as the likes of the other Rahul, Agarwal, Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant, learnt the nuances not just of run-making, but also the keys to handling pressure, to confronting the twin impostors that failure and success are. The germination of the seeds of triumph hasn’t transpired overnight; through unrelenting adherence to the basic principles of focus, an uncompromising work ethic and a desire to be the best versions of themselves, these precocious young Turks are rapidly making their presence felt. Without ever giving the impression that an eye-catching display is a mere flash in the pan.
Padikkal has held his own in a Royal Challengers Bangalore batting line-up also containing Kohli, AB de Villiers and Aaron Finch, with three fifties in his first four innings. Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Garg, India’s skipper at this year’s Under-19 World Cup in South Africa in February, batted with the fluency of a virtuoso in registering a half-century on Friday, while Kings XI Punjab leg-spinner Bishnoi, also 20 like Padikkal, has showcased a strength of character that must make the fighter in coach Kumble proud. The sweeping winds of change may not be here yet, but you can sense that they are near. Very, very near.

I was listening to the song “Do You Know the Way You Move Me” by Davy Flowers, and the song really didn’t impact me until the last four and a half minutes. One singer starts to insist to God that he hasn’t hit the mark and continues to point out all the ways he has failed, while the other singer (who is God) simply says to him over and over, “I’m so proud of you.” I realized right then and there as tears started to fall down my face that this is the one thing that I long to hear from God: I’m so proud of you!
More than the love of anyone else, I long for the love of my God. I not only want His love, but I want Him to be pleased with me. I want to bring a smile to His face. I want to bring delight to His heart.
Could it be that even though I look at myself and only see the thousands of ways I fall short of the mark, God is still proud of me? He sees the depths of our hearts. The more I seek Him, the more I realize how very central it is in me to please Him. He truly is the love of my life. He truly is the only One I trust to the end.
I just want to hear Him say these words: I’m so proud of you…

Wacky Planter Colorful - Small
These planters are all kinds of vibrant and wacky.
Each planter is thrown on the wheel and has 3 drainage holes in the base. The small is approximately 3.5” wide by 3.75” tall. Please note that each wacky planter will be unique. It will be an explosion of color as shown in the above photo but no 2 are alike.
Because every item is made by hand, variation in size and shape are to be expected.
Please note, the image shows both available sizes. The small planter is on the right-hand side.


BMW has the enviable reputation for designing appealing vehicles that are both strong and powerful. Toss in luxury and comfort, and one might deduce that BMW typically offers the complete package.
One of the most recognizable brands in the world, BMW waited longer (1999) than other luxury brands to delve into SUV production. But once it did, the results were significant.
The German automaker fills the gaps with all sizes of SUVs. Its largest entry is the X7, an SUV that was introduced in 2019 and last year had its biggest sales year (30,705), an increase of more than 7,000 from 2021.
The 2023 BMW X7 arrived with a modest refresh that includes a more dramatic front end, a new dashboard design, and BMW’s latest infotainment system. What hasn’t changed is it offers three rows of seating and can transport up to seven passengers, has a boatload of technology and safety features, and gives shoppers a choice of three powerful engines and three diverse trim models (xDrive40i, M60i, Alpina XB7).
The xDrive40i was test driven here for a week. Starting at approximately $77,900, the xDrive40i would be our choice among the three trim models. Of course, if money is not an issue, going with one of the other two versions of the X7 won’t be disappointing. Note the high end Alpina XB7 has a monstrous price tag of around $150,000.
High performance is always part of the equation when considering a BMW. We loved how the xDrive40i delivered in any driving situation with its power on demand. The engine has been upgraded and is now a turbocharged 3.3-liter, six-cylinder that generates 375 horsepower (up 40) and 383 pound-feet of torque (up 67). It goes 0-60 in 5.8 seconds, but feels even faster.
If that’s not enough, than the M60i is a logical choice. It’s a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter, V8 that delivers 523 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque, and goes 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. The high-performance Alpina XB7 is a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter, V8 with 630 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. It zips along, going 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds and has a top speed of 180 mph.
All three models offer standard all-wheel drive and an adaptive air suspension system that promotes a smooth ride. The X7 weighs between 5,417 and 5,986 pounds and when properly equipped, can tow up to 7,500 pounds.
AT A GLANCE –2023 BMW X-7
- Performance: turbocharged 3.0-liter, six-cylinder, 375 horsepower; twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter, V8, 523 horsepower; twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter, V8, 630 horsepower
- Mileage estimate: 21-25 mpg; 16-21 mpg; 15-21 mpg
- Price estimate: $77,900 to $103,200
- Warranty: 4 years/50,000 miles; drivetrain: 4 years/50,000 miles; roadside assistance: 4 years/unlimited; corrosion: 12 years/unlimited
Even though it’s a large SUV, the X7 doesn’t come off as a lumbering family hauler that’s truck based. It’s reasonably athletic, offers some sportiness, and can take on corners well with its responsive steering that is also a plus in tight parking lots.
Safety is another major plus of the X7. Standard driver-assistance safety features include forward collision warning, forward automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, traffic-sign recognition, automatic high-beam headlights, and rain-sensing windshield wipers.
The interior has an element of class, thanks in part to the abundance of wood and leather. The interior luxury features include heated front seats, power-adjustable steering wheel, panoramic sunroof, and ambient interior lighting.
The X7 has a dramatic dashboard that’s slightly curved and includes a 12.3-inch gauge cluster directly in front of the driver and a 14.9-inch touchscreen that can be a challenge to master since there are no convenient buttons.
Front and back seating is comfortable and spacious for even 6-footers. While not confining, the third row is adequate for adults on short drives, yet not the place to be during longer rides. The cargo area measures 12.8 cubic feet behind the third row, expands to 48.6 cubes behind the second row, and serves as a good hauler when both rows are down, resulting in 90.4 cubic feet.
The slight redesign this year gives large luxury SUV shoppers a reason to take a good look at the 2023 BMW X7. It delivers comfort, performance and has an appealing interior.

Tax districts eyed to help White Sox owner buy Coyotes
- Mike Sunnucks and Chris Casacchia
Chicago White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf could parlay his opposition to a stadium financing plan for the rival Chicago Cubs into the creation of a special tax district around Jobing.com Arena in Glendale — a move that could help him and business partner John Kaites buy the financially troubled Phoenix Coyotes.
Reinsdorf opposes a state plan to assess an 8 percent fee on all Cactus League game tickets to help fund construction of an $84 million Cubs stadium in Mesa.
An alternative plan presented by lobbyist Kaites to state lawmakers hinges on creating special tax districts around sports and other facilities to capture revenue from those zones. Districts could be created around the proposed Cubs spring training facility as well as Westgate City Center and Jobing.com Arena, home to the Coyotes.
This would allow Glendale to pump money back into the retail and entertainment area and work out a more favorable lease for the Coyotes. That, in turn, could help Reinsdorf and Kaites (or another ownership group) secure financing to buy the team, which has lost more than $300 million since moving to the Valley in 1996 and now is going through Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization.
House Majority Leader John McComish, R-Ahwatukee, the main sponsor of the ticket tax bill, said Kaites has advocated the tax zones aggressively.
“It’s being pushed extremely hard,” said McComish, who doesn’t favor creating tax districts.
The language regarding tax districts could be applied broadly to various areas and projects, said Scott Butler, Mesa’s government relations director.
Brian Townsend, senior policy adviser to the Arizona House of Representatives, said the tax zones could be applied to Cactus League ballparks and the Westgate area.

What are key points (themes, characters, symbolism, quotes, analysis, etc) about As You Like It concerning pastoral elements?
Two characters who exemplify the pastoral context of the play are Phebe and Silvus, the shepherdess and shepherd who live in the forest. They are simple and uneducated, and yet also obsessed with romantic love.
One example of dialogue which refers to the play's pastoral setting occurs in Act Three, Scene Two, when Rosalind (dressed as Ganymede) asks Orlando for the time, and he replies that "there's no clock in the forest." To this, Rosalind says, "Then there is no true lover in the forest, else sighing every minute and groaning every hour would detect the lazy foot of Time as well as a clock." In this way there are several layers of meaning: that time stands still or has no real meaning in the Forest of Arden, making it a place apart; and that love has a unique meaning in this place, since the sighing of lovers is the standard unit of telling time. These ideas of timelessness in a place of natural beauty, and of love having a unique meaning and context, are prominent ideas in pastoral literature.


This is a great 15-second PSA, produced pro bono for the California Bicycle Coalition by the talented people at EMRL Media Group of Sacramento. At the time I was executive director of CalBike, and hoped to raise enough money to make numerous broadcast quality videotapes, which I planned to send to broadcast outlets across the state.
Unfortunately, objections were raised by a small number of non-visionary cyclists (partisans in the so-called "paint-n-path" versus "effective cycling" battle), who considered the PSA to be harmful. They thought it would actually encourage bicycling in the door zone!
Clearly they missed the point, prompting this response from me: "The principal objection I have since heard from a small handful is that the cyclist is riding too close to the parked cars. Indeed she is. This is called a "plot device" designed to create dramatic tension and viewer interest."
Even more unfortunate was that some prominent folks on the CalBike board of directors were sympathetic to these objections, which is among the reasons I lasted a mere year as ED. But that's another story...
I continue to think it is an outstanding work. So I share it here for your enjoyment.

The EQUITRON Media Preparator is very useful for laboratories requiring 5-27 ltrs media / per day. EQUITRON Media Preparator eliminates all manual intervention’s required in the process of preparing media & ensures accurate temperature control & uniformity which result in best quality media.
Media is poured directly in to a special container in the Autoclave, which also has a magnetic stirrer. The media mixes in this, the temperature rises to user settable sterilizing temperature, holds for the desired time, then cools rapidly to the media pouring temperature between 45 & 65ºC and then, without opening the Autoclave, the desired volume of media can be dispensed aseptically and directly onto petri plates - placed in a Clean bench - by an external peristaltic pump.
|SPECIFICATION & ORDERING DETAILS|
L/W/D in mm
|#7415-09||Media Preparator cum Autoclave||9 Ltr||750 x 650 x 500|
|#7415-27||Media Preparator cum Autoclave||27 Ltr||1055 x 665 x 106|
|#S4305-70||Peristaltic Pump||--||200 x 200 x 250|
|#S1104-50||Raw Water Filter||--||280 x 160 x 250|

|#S3101-53||Media Container||9 Ltr||--|
|#S3101-54||Media Container||27 Ltr||--|
It is used to dispense the required quantity of media from media preparator.
Raw Water Filter:
Raw (Cooling) water with high TDS will increase the scalling, thus it will reduce the efficiency of EQUICLAVE considerably. The filter cum softening assembly for EQUICLAVE is essential, if the cooling water hardness is high.
Booster Water Pump: #S4305-12:
A booster pump would be essential where pressurised (2-4 bar) raw / cooling water is not available. The booster pump will increase the raw / cooling water pressure to match the requirement to operate the media prepartor.

DevOps is often described as a combination of technology and culture. Without both, DevOps isn't complete. However, applying the culture to outdated technology is a recipe for disaster; as response times grow and connections between teams are delayed by technology, the culture will die. A Nutanix Enterprise Cloud has many benefits that provide the needed base for a true DevOps paradigm.

Synthetic marijuana is back in the headlines. And this time it’s hitting northern Alabama. Specifically, public health and law enforcement agencies are reporting a sharp uptick in overdoses related to synthetic marijuana. Now, officials are trying to warn the public of the dangers of smoking synthetic weed.
Synthetic Cannabis Use is Spiking in Northern Alabama
The warnings come as health officials and law enforcement in Alabama have begun noticing an increase in the number of people experiencing medical problems after smoking the drug.
For now, exact numbers have not been made public. But according to local reports, there is a distinct uptick in the number of overdoses and hospitalizations linked to synthetic cannabis. Currently, the spike is being seen primarily in the northern part of Alabama.
Responding to the trend, DEA Assistant Special Agent in Charge, Clay Morris, and Northern District U.S. Attorney, Jay Town, issued a statement yesterday.
“We have begun to notice a disturbing trend through our crime intelligence networks of overdoses related to synthetic marijuana in our district,” Town said. “Today we are joining together

Matt Ritchie’s first Premier League goal since May 2016 gave Newcastle United a shock 1-0 win over Manchester United on Sunday and struck a potentially decisive blow in the title race.
Jose Mourinho’s side suffered a second successive defeat on the road and only their third in 29 league meetings with the Magpies to stay 16 points behind league leaders Manchester City.
Mourinho had failed to win in six previous visits to St James’ Park in England’s top flight and his players rarely looked likely to bring that run to an end in another hugely disjointed display.

Chances were scarce throughout the contest but Anthony Martial and Alexis Sanchez wasted clear openings, while Romelu Lukaku had a goal disallowed, before Ritchie capitalised on some slack defending in the 65th minute.

The visitors offered some late pressure but could not find a way past debutant goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, meaning their chances of catching City look almost gone with 11 matches left to play.
Newcastle, meanwhile, climb to 13th in the table, two points clear of the relegation zone.


Every since last years election, the Losers have been asking "What happened?" Trump presented a clumsy but direct message to the people and the Opposition (Hillary, the Democrats, the GOP and the Media) attacked it constantly. And yet Trump is the President. Why?
In the movie "My Cousin Vinnie" the Prosecutor made an opening statement about the crime, the accused and how the two were connected. Joe Pesci countered by saying "Everything that guy said is bulls**t." He was right then, but had the trial ended at that moment the boys would be on death row. Why? Because Joe argued but did not present an argument.
Hillary did the same thing. If one looks at her few campaign interviews and rally appearances, she never really presented a vision for the future to counter President Trump's. She did not say how her plan was better and she did not say how she would continue President Obama's agenda or improve on it. She simply told us that Candidate Trump was wrong. That is not an argument.
Today we see no debate. The Conservative side presents facts, evidence, and solutions. The Left attacks the Conservatives on character and then declares themselves the winners of the debate. This happens everyday in the news media and to people like us online in every forum where comments are open. Instead of counter arguments we get nothing but condescension, insults, and threats. That is not an argument.
We do not ever settle any issue because we can never have a debate. The Left has no argument, no solutions, and no evidence that their vision could improve lives for anyone but themselves. So they argue constantly without ever bringing an argument to the table and lack the courage of their convictions to defend their vision for the country. Thus we have a perpetual stalemate.
. . . or not. The American people saw through the mainstream agenda. Since Hillary did not present a vision for the future we compared Donald Trump's vision with the reality of Hillary's predecessor vision and rejected both the vision and the heir. That is what happened.

UTICA — Not long after opening Monday, Ocean Blue Restaurant & Oyster Bar owner Francis Pezzolanella was facing the reality his restaurant would be closing for the foreseeable future.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered restaurants and bars around the state to only permit takeout and delivery services starting at 8 p.m. Monday. He further ordered the closure of casinos and gyms across the state.
As a seafood restaurant with an expansive menu and limited takeout capability, Pezzolanella said Ocean Blue — which has 50 employees — will close temporarily.
“This is devastating, obviously, but we're focused on what's most important,” Pezzolanella said. “That's our staff, our customers and our family and making sure that we're doing the right thing.”
There now will be time for projects around the Columbia Street restaurant, such as replacing the carpet in the dining room. Pezzolanella said they have been meaning to do that, but it's not something for which they wanted to shut down the restaurant.
“If there was ever a time to do it, now is going to be it,” he said. “So we're going to get that stuff done and try to make the best of an awful situation.”
The coronavirus shutdown also will put the launch of Nostro Restobar and Lounge, another Pezzolanella project, on the back burner. The restaurant, bar and lounge will feature a modern Italian menu in the former Oneida Bank building on Genesee Street and was expected to open this month.
“Trying to open up a restaurant that focuses on social dining when the narrative is to limit social interactions with people is really throwing a wrench in that situation,” Pezzolanella said.
With no set end day for the governor's order, surviving the closure won't be easy for area restaurants, Pezzolanella said.
“I think it can be catastrophic for some restaurants,” he said. “We're a large restaurant. We do a lot of volume and this is going to be painful for us. This is not going to be easy.”
Several New York casinos and racinos already said earlier Monday that they were closing. Empire City in Yonkers closed Saturday.
Locally, Oneida Indian Nation announced it is temporarily closing its three casinos — Turning Stone Resort Casino, Point Place Casino and Yellow Brick Road Casino — as of 5 p.m. Monday. There currently is no timeline for reopening, the Nation said in a statement.
The Nation made its own choice to close its casinos and was not included in the governors' announcement.
“The well-being of our members, employees, guests and community at-large remains our highest priority which is why we have decided to temporarily close all of our casinos later today in response to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Ray Halbritter, Oneida Indian Nation representative and CEO of Nation Enterprises, in a statement.
BARS AND RESTAURANTS
Bars — such as Nail Creek Pub & Brewery on Varick Street, the Beer Hub on Genesee Street and Gerber's 1933 Tavern in Liberty Street — announced on social media that they also would shut down for the immediate future. In a Facebook post, Killabrew Saloon in New Hartford said it still would provide takeout service.
At Golden's, a diner on Genesee Street, the news came as a shock to owner Jeff Golden. He said his wife told him about the governor's order after he already was at work.
Golden said he'll need to make a plan for the future of his business. The diner opened a year ago.
“I don't have a well-established takeout,” Golden said. “I have nothing for delivery. I'm coming up with it as I go.”
Golden had his wife pick up takeout containers after she delivered the news. He said it was already difficult to get supplies to keep his small diner running in light of the pandemic.
While breakfast was busy, Golden said the lunch crowd was smaller than usual. He said Genesee Street also was less busy than usual.
“What am I going to do when my business tanks?” Golden said. “I'm right at the edge now. I'm a brand-new business.”
Restaurants already heavily involved in takeout are less concerned.
Right next door to Golden's, Mello's Subs is already focused on takeout, said sub engineer Dave Testa.
“It shouldn't affect us as long as we can get supplies,” Testa said.
GYMS IN LOCKDOWN
Close to two dozen people were at Upstate Empire Fitness on Champlin Avenue in Utica on Monday afternoon trying to get one last workout in before the gym closed for the foreseeable future.
Kaylee Meyers of Rome put everything she had into pumping out one more rep on the leg extension machine at Upstate.
“I hope the ban on gyms won't last too long,” she said while catching her breath. “I'm here five or six times per week. I could start running (for exercise), but this change bothers me.”
Upstate co-owner Alyssa Devins said the gym would undergo a thorough cleaning and disinfecting while it is closed.
“It's a waiting game,” Devins said of the closure.
Devins said the gym will offer as many virtual options to members during the closure, including online workouts. This will help to keep everyone active, she said.

Miami's Zoning Re-Write Up For a Vote
In 1915, leaders in Miami -- then still a sleepy Southern outpost but growing fast -- considered paying an outside expert to devise a master plan to guide future development.
But the $1,500 price tag was deemed too expensive, so the city passed.
''What a lost opportunity,'' Miami Mayor Manny Diaz now says. "We could be living in a very different city today.''
Diaz has spent the past couple years crusading for his own city master plan, this one costing taxpayers $1.7 million. And just as in 1915, there are naysayers.
Could the effort go down in flames again?
A key indicator will come Thursday, when Miami City Commissioners are set to hold the first of two required votes on the first phase of Miami 21 -- Diaz's brainchild.
The Miami 21 plan would rewrite the zoning code in many of the city's eastern neighborhoods, with other parts of town to follow in the coming months. The plan encourages mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly streets and town centers with shaded, wider sidewalks. Miami 21 also promises to simplify the city's zoning code -- though skeptics, citing its creation of a whole new city zoning vocabulary, question whether that has been achieved.
One thing is for sure: The plan has done the seemingly impossible by uniting some neighborhood activists with development interests.
A significant number of folks in both camps strongly dislike the plan. ''So there's obviously something wrong with this picture,'' neighborhood activist Beba Mann said.
"There's a lot of things that still need to be addressed and covered.''
Some homeowners cringe at portions of the plan that would reduce the number of public hearings new developments are required to go through -- limiting opportunities for public input.
Developers, meanwhile, fear some of the proposed zoning changes will force them to design smaller buildings than are allowed under current code. Another developer complaint: Under Miami 21, it's difficult to figure out what can be built on a certain property without the aid of an architect.
Some architects, too, are unhappy. The architectural firm Miami hired to write Miami 21 -- the world-renowned, Miami-based Duany Plater-Zyberk and Co. -- is both famous and controversial.
The company's New Urbanist architecture stresses uniformity and predictability for new construction. Mayor Diaz said this will be welcome news for a city now stuck with myriad and sometimes conflicting zoning guidelines. Diaz also said a sense of order is exactly what some of the city's hodge-podge neighborhoods need.
But one person's ''predictable'' architecture is another person's cookie-cutter. Real estate developer Matthew Greer of The Carlisle Group, an affordable-housing developer, says Miami 21's approach offers transparency, but
"it remains to be seen whether a heterogeneous, dynamic environment like Miami is the right ecosystem for that type of planning system to take root.''
City Commissioner Marc Sarnoff said he hasn't made up his mind and is willing to give the plan a chance during Thursday's meeting.
''I am absolutely looking forward to the debate,'' Sarnoff said.
"We know something's broken; we know something doesn't work. . . . I don't know myself if this is what fixes it.''

Working with Tim on my first Cosplay shoot was not only fun but I also got to learn a few things about posing, Tim created a very comfortable and relaxed environment which made the experience a positive one, I would definitely recommend dreamcoat photography.

Tim Miller at Dreamcoat Photography provided a creative, fun, professional photo shoot with some amazing results and blew away all expectations I had.

Thanks for putting in the extra photo, I really appreciate it.
You have done an awesome job, and thanks to you we now have some great memories of our boy.
I will certainly use your services again and will recommend you to anyone else who wishes to commemorate their milestones.
Working with the team from Dreamcoat photography was an absolute pleasure. From the very first initial meeting I knew we were going to have fun. Tim and Judith understood exactly what direction we were wanting to go in and even gave us some excellent ideas. The level of professionalism and organisation was second to none, and I loved that I could contact them anytime with even the strangest questions.

Thank you so much for being a part of our special day and capturing every special moment.

A massive Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl fight during Tulsa vs Mississippi State got so bad that players were seen doing flying Karate Kicks. It’s not clear what started the brawl, but literally everyone down to coaching staffs were getting attacked during the brawl.
As the game ended both teams spilled onto the field and all hell broke lose.
Take a look.
At approximately the 7 second mark of the video you can see number 4 throw a player down then deliver a flying karate kick to his face. He runs for his life after, before his victim could retaliate.
Based on the footage it’s clear both teams will probably be severely punished. Hopefully no one was seriously injured. The Tulsa vs Mississippi State fight will forever tarnish the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl.

"You have been baking far too much lately" hubby says.
But I was itching to make something, well something I don't need to bake so he won't moan at me.
I thought maybe a cold dessert would be nice as my kids gets excited when I say I'll make a dessert.
So I put together a non bake peach cheesecake hoping he would be ok that its not another cream cake.
Anyway, I made my cheesecake in under an hour and decorated it with thin slices of the tinned peaches. It looked great but too bare so I topped it up with a peach jelly made with the juices that came with the tinned peaches.
Whoa! This is fun!
I didn't know what to expect but it turned out to be a very pretty cheesecake indeed.
I have managed to pull off another delicious cheesecake reinventing the recipe as I went along.
This was a massive hit with my friends and especially my hubby!
Something you might like to try at home too. Very simple, no baking involved and ready to eat in 4 hours!!

Brown And Red Bedroom Decorating Ideas - Your child's bedroom is most likely the only area in your house where she can actually express her personality and wishes. Your daughter might already have some notions as to what she wants, and her input is important. Using a tiny imagination, creating a princess' bedroom might be easy with a couple interesting ideas.
The first step is to produce an appropriate paint color you could both live with and to ask your child what her favourite princess shade is.
You'll be able to paint a mural on among the walls in case you're feeling creative. Have a look at your child's coloring or story books for images you can utilize. If painting is not your thing, you may be able to find a wallpaper mural or edge with a princess topic. One way to offer your kid's bedroom a princess theme is to decorate it with purchased items showing popular fairy tale princesses. In case you would like a more original and less commercial look, there are endless possibilities available to you personally.
To get some good ideas, take your little princess to your own local fabric store to find out what types of patterns and materials she enjoys. It's crucial that you get her input signal early on to make sure the finished product will likely be to her liking. Everybody knows that a princess lives in high-end, so that's the look you should really go for, but hopefully not at a luxurious price! Look for materials like velvet, satin, lace, and eyelet in your son or daughter 's favorite colours, if you can sew.

Title: The Ghost Writer
Author: John Harwood
Release Date: July 5, 2004
Publisher: Mariner Books
Rating: 4 out of 5
From the dust jacket:
Growing up in a small Australian town, Gerard Freeman loves to hear his mother talk about her idyllic childhood in an English country manor. But she swears that she will never return to England, and refuses to tell him what happened to her family, though she is clearly terrified of some invisible yet ever-present threat. One hot afternoon, he waits until she is napping, then creeps into her bedroom to break open the drawer that’s always locked, the one that he hopes holds all her secrets. . .
Twenty years later, Gerard has not left home – he works as a librarian – but he lives for just two things: his English penfriend Alice, for whom he yearns with all his heart, and the ghost story he found in his mother’s drawer all those years ago. Written by his great-grandmother Viola, it hints at the terrible crime that haunted his mother, and, finally, destroyed her. And as Viola’s chilling tales lead him to London, Gerard realizes that the stories might hold the key to finding Alice as well as unveiling his family’s mystery – or are they leading him directly to the untimely death they seem to foretell?
As I’ve said before, I love gothic mysteries. I read John Harwood’s second mystery, The Seance [review], not too long ago and absolutely loved it. Of course, I had to immediately go and find his debut novel The Ghost Writer so I could read that one as well. While I enjoyed both novels, I’d have to say The Seance [review] is the stronger of the two. However, The Ghost Writer is still a very interesting read that I had trouble putting down.
One interesting factoid about The Ghost Writer is the fact that it’s set in the present day, rather than in the 1800’s as most gothic mysteries are. It adds something extra to the novel, though with the atmospheric details, it’s easy to forget what time period the main character is actually in.
There are ghost stories within The Ghost Writer, stories that one of the characters wrote. Some of these are really interesting and definitely add to the overall atmosphere of the book. Some of them are semi-irritating distractions. Only one of these stories is important to the overall novel, so it’s not necessary to read all of them. I’m not going to spoil which one you HAVE to read in this review though; I feel like skipping one while reading would detract from the book’s atmosphere.
The ending is…well, it’s interesting. I can’t say I saw it coming, which is a great thing in a mystery. It’s definitely a bit confusing and might require a re-read, but it’s marvelous once you understand the twist! In fact, this would be a great book club book just so you can discuss your interpretation of the ending with other people! (As I was reading through other reviews, people said that the ending was disappointing and left the reader hanging – I don’t think that’s the case. It’s just that the ending takes close reading, you’ll get it if you read it carefully!)
The Ghost Writer is a great gothic mystery. It’s much more creepy than The Seance[review]; I actually recommend it more to gothic mystery lovers than casual fans of the genre. If you’re looking for a good gothic mystery as an introduction, I’d definitely go with The Seance [review]. However, I still enjoyed The Ghost Writer very much and recommend it – John Harwood is a wonderful writer, and I can’t wait to see what he comes up with next.

City council is asking citizens to take responsibility for their rubbish.
Councillors unanimously backed a motion by Coun. John Utley this week aimed at getting people to stop throwing their litter on city streets and trails and along Highway 403 on and off ramps.
“It’s, quite frankly, embarrassing,” Coun. Jan Vanderstelt said of the tossed trash.
Utley’s motion calls on students, fast food restaurant operators and others to be part of an effort to clean up the community.
Utley said most litter in the city is generated by “irresponsible citizens who clutter our landscape with coffee cups, plastic bottles, fast food containers and cigarette butts, to name a few.”
“I have three emails in my inbox right now with complaints about garbage,” said Coun. Joshua Wall. “The onus has to be on private citizens. On highway exits and parking lots, trash is everywhere. Please consider holding onto litter until you get to a receptacle.”
Legislation is on its way in Ontario that will make companies that produce waste, such as plastic bottles and packaging, pay the entire cost of the province’s “blue box” curbside recycling program over the next five years.
But Utley said it’s also time for “ordinary citizens to start taking ownership” of their litter. He began to champion the cause a couple of years ago following a visit to Japan, a densely populated country known for its cleanliness. After a series of waste management laws were put in place in the 1990s, not littering has become part of the country’s culture.
“If Japan can do it, we can do it,” said Utley.
He wants to proclaim April “Clean our City” month and have local students design promotional materials that can be posted on buses and in various other locations.
He also wants to explore ways to work with fast-food operators to help reduce trash from their restaurants.
“Schools do an amazing job of educating students (about green initiatives),” said Coun. Brian VanTilborg. “I grew up in a fast food culture. We can do a lot better.”
Utley credited organizations, such as the Grand River Environmental Group and the Stash the Trash group, for doing volunteer cleanups along the river banks where discarded tires, shopping carts, old bicycles, wood and plastic are collected.
Utley’s Clean Brantford proposal calls for the city to consider a budget for gloves, bags, and T-shirts for volunteer litter cleanups.
Vanderstelt said the city must consider the safety of volunteers so that they know how to properly dispose of discarded needles and are vigilant while picking up trash along busy roadways.
Coun. John Sless asked city staff to check into whether the city has the authority to post “no littering” signs on highway ramps that are “knee-deep in summertime garbage.”
Coun. Dan McCreary said city trails are also a problem area.
“I don’t know how you fix stupid,” he said. “There are coffee cups and dog poop in bags left on the side of the trail. That’s just gift wrap left for someone else.”
Utley said the vision is not for cleaner habits to be driven by the city, but for the city to support community initiatives.
“It’s going to take a generation or two but we’re planting a seed.”

If these walls could talk, you could just imagine a 20's or 30's style era where everyone at this newspaper was getting the scoop on the latest story, each executive dressed in a fedora hat with a secretary sitting just outside the door, a cocktail bar on the credenza and some sordid tale. It was straight out of Mad Men only a couple of decades earlier.
As the U.S. doesn't have as much history as some countries we relish these old style art deco buildings and a bit of our own culture. Oh and the view is pure modern genius. Gotta love the "City of Angels."
