I'm so excited that the release of The Wishing Thread is just around the corner!
I've been in quite a tizzy these last few weeks, getting ready, making last minute preparations, talking to bloggers, etc.
But The Wishing Thread was different. It had a very specific moment of coming to life.
Many of you know that I'm a knitter (lisava on Ravelry), and when I knit a gift, I always be sure to "knit" some good energy and prayers into the stitches for the recipient.
One day, I thought: Wouldn't it be cool if someone could knit a magic spell?
I didn't say I was a GOOD knitter!
And bam! That was the beginning of The Wishing Thread.
Of course, that's not a story—it's a question. And it's just one of the many questions that drive the book. But it was definitely the moment that I knew The Wishing Thread was a book I was meant to write.
Little by little, I discovered the story of three estranged sisters in Tarrytown who must come together to decide the fate of their family legacy: a yarn shop called The Stitchery.
But the magic of the sisters isn't an "easy" magic. To make the Stitchery's magic work, a person has to be prepared to make sacrifices. And that's where things get interesting. Some people in town believe in the magic. Some think it's just the power of suggestion at work. You—reader—will have to decide what you think.
As for me, I'm already at work on my next magical book (which is due in about two weeks, by the way). If only I could get someone to knit a magical spell for me!
Thanks so so much for your support as this book comes out. I put off writing this story for quite some time, because I wanted to truly be sure I could do it justice. It's silly, but having it out on the shelves is going to feel so very liberating; I can't wait to share.
NOTE: Be sure to LIKE my Facebook page to enter the giveaway I'll be hosting there later this week.
QUESTION: What's a favorite hand-crafted item in your life?
would love to win-i knitted pillows when i came home from surgery!!
My mom crochet the chistening blankets for both my daughters. She also crochet a sweater that has Hearts crochet right in! It is her only clothing creation…just wish it grew with the kids but will be kept forever!
My favorite hand-crafted item in my life is some crocheted doilies that my mother crocheted before her death in 1963 when I was a teenager!A very prized possession!
I don't know how to knit :( the only thing that I ever tried was a baby sweater and by the time that it was finished it looked more like baptism gown that a sweater so it was my first and my last intent. But I do believe in magic, so maybe one day I will give it a try and maybe I will knit a magic spell!
Well, go back retry to knit and start with something smaller like a dishcloth or a blanket, since your sweater tund into a Christening gown. A blanket can be as big or small as you want it to be. I love to knit and my mom taught me and my brother when we were younger to knit and crochet.
Joanne – how adorable! You'll have to send me a picture if you come across it.
Rebecca – Those are extremely hard to make! My mom did doilies for a while too, and they are so so impressive. I'm still working on "single crochet" stitch!
Silvia – how charming! I hope you do.
Just finished "The Wishing Thread" and I loved it!!! I want to visit The Stitchery and knit with the Van Ripper sisters and have them as my BFF's! Such a great tale! I have the urge to cast on for Aubrey's ponco. Thanks for giving us all such a great read!
Cheers pal. I do apptrciaee the writing.

Angel of the Resurrection
This lithograph is widely considered to be the first artist's lithograph ever made. West, then President of the Royal Academy, was one of a small number of major artists approached by the technique's inventor, Alois Senefelder, to trial his new process as a means for producing multiple drawings. He termed these early products 'impressions taken from original drawings made on stone'. West has applied the lithographic ink using a pen to draw directly onto the printing stone.

West was the first American artist to gain an international reputation, above all for his dramatic history painting. He was born in Pennsylvania and received no formal artistic training. The four years he spent in Italy (1759-63) confirmed his interest in depicting heroic subjects from ancient and...

You have decided that lawyer is your future profession, but do not understand which prospects could be opened with law degrees. JD, LLM, and JSD have many peculiarities that distinguish them from each other, and, accordingly, understanding of their specifics will help you make plans for your education, which will positively affect your future.
JD (Juris Doctor) is a certified specialist in Law. Such a degree is given to graduates from law schools in the USA, Canada, Australia and in some other countries. This is the basic professional development of lawyers, which lasts three years; the first step of obtaining it is the successful passing of LSAT, which is a compulsory entrance test for law school candidates. The success in LSAT is provided by the ability to express your substantiated opinion and good analytical and logical thinking, as these skills are crucial for comprehension of complex information, critical view, the objectivity of judgment and other qualities, which are important for legal work implementation. Passing the test needs thorough and long-term preparation, which lies in practicing of task fulfillment. Studying information will not help; the only one way to pass LSAT is to acquire all the necessary skills. One more condition for admission to law school is bachelor degree. Top law schools are in high demand by applicants, so lucky people who are studying there usually have not only high LSAT score but also a good GPA and legal work experience.
LLM (The Master of Laws) is a post-graduate academic degree. You can get it only if you have already graduated a law school in the USA or abroad. However, some institutions in the States also take students with a not-law education. This degree is usually chosen by those who want to learn more about a certain branch of jurisprudence and expand the competence. LLM is also a great addition to the CV, especially if you graduated one of top law schools. For international students, this is a possibility to improve knowledge about American legal system and legal English in addition to all the advantages mentioned above. Such an experience is a great upside in employment.
LLM is a way to study law in the USA without LSAT taking because the test is not needed for LLM degree; you also can study online, which is a distinct advantage. However, it will be difficult for you to obtain LLM without JD unless you are a foreigner who has already received another law education.
While employing in the USA, LLM is inferior to JD because employers view JD as a degree which provides lawyers with all the necessary knowledge and practice to work in jurisprudence. Therefore, if you are an international student, who think about the career in the USA, you still should try to get Juris Doctorate.
LLM in addition to JD open up new possibilities; it does not cover the general conceptions of US legal system but only a separate field. Thus, it can facilitate to achieve career success and expand practical skills.
JSD (Doctor of Juridical Science) is the highest degree in the legal science. Such a profound study of jurisprudence is necessary for those who want to become a professor or a legal scientist. The term of studying for JSD lasts from three to five years; candidates study the law intensively and write dissertations, which are a significant contribution to the science.
This qualification is offered in the USA, Australia, and Canada; in European countries, its equivalent is a Doctor of Philosophy. The training period is divided into two parts: in the first half, candidates write term papers, and the second is set aside for research that is important for legal science development.
Of course, JSD degree will make you a real specialist, but it should be your vocation; otherwise, it is hardly possible to withstand serious academic load.
In logical order of educational stages, firstly it is necessary to get the bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university, then go to study for Juris Doctor, having taken LSAT. You are ready to work as a lawyer with JD diploma, but either to improve your skills or if you are interested in the specific field of law, you have to study for LLM. This time should be enough to decide whether you want to work or continue education.

All About ERGs and BERGs: A Resource Guide
Ever heard of the Greyglers? Or Unidos? Or the Pride BERG?
These are all names of voluntary employee groups for, respectively:
Older employees at Google;
LatinX and Hispanic employees at Nestle; and
LGBTQIA+ employees at Disney.
Each group is devoted to helping the organization support their demographic while building a network of individuals who share common interests, backgrounds, or characteristics such as gender, race or ethnicity, or sexual orientation.
These are called ERGs (Employee Resource Groups) or BERGS (Business Employee Resource Groups) and contribute to business goals of the company.
Business goals? What kind of business goals?
At Disney Paris, the Pride BERG pushed for a successful Allies for Diversity week. This and similar efforts bolstered retention, supporting recruiting efforts and contributed to a vibrant company culture.
In fact, Disney has more than 90 different BERGs, which all worked together toward one big impact – helping the company add to the four core values, known for 65 years as the "Four Keys." In 2021, a Fifth Key was created: Inclusion.
At the company DoorDash, ERGs have been so valuable in recruiting, among other initiatives, that the company has unveiled a new policy of compensating ERG leaders. "A call with an ERG member could make a huge difference in someone's decision to join DoorDash, and we've already seen early success with one candidate speaking with someone from our Women@ ERG, then signing their offer immediately after that conversation," said Lead Recruiter Theresa Avila.
ERGs and BRGs support important aspects of organizational culture and create community while sharing a unique point of view with leadership, helping recruiters and managers create a more diverse employee base, and developing people in new ways.
They also provide leadership opportunities for all involved by providing ways to contribute to organizational development.
But the work of these groups digs deep…even beyond business goals.
Maybe most importantly, they help create touchpoints for the employees in that demographic to share their experiences and feel a little more heard and seen at work.
Would your workplace benefit from an ERG?
If you're thinking of starting or supporting an ERG or BERG at your organization, we at IBIS highly recommend it. The impact of having a network of knowledgeable, connected and thoughtful diversity champions throughout your organization is significant and can be very valuable.
But there are some important guidelines to keep in mind in order to support successful ERG growth.
3 Key Guidelines for ERG Support
Set organization-wide values so that everyone speaks a common language and works toward a common goal
Communicate leadership commitment and support for each ERG on a regular basis
Celebrate both grassroots growth and structurally determined growth so that existing ERG members feel supported and also aligned with future counterparts
Best Practices for ERG Development
When starting an ERG:
Find others with the same commonality. Whether you are interested in forming a group based on common experiences (e.g. veterans) or inherent characteristics (e.g. women), the first step is to see if there are others within your target community that might be interested in forming an ERG.
Reach out to HR Business Partners to see if others have asked about starting a similar ERG.
After recruiting enough interested employees (2-4 people), build a solid foundation for the ERG.
When growing an ERG:
Identify the steering committee. Anyone considering participation on an ERG steering committee should talk with their manager so that the manager understands that some percentage of the employee's time will be focused on this important cultural role.
Set expectations around any steering committee role. For example, the role might be for a 6-12 month period and they can expect 1-2 meetings per month – and it's important to say that right away.
Establish ERG identity. Have the committee write a mission and goals for the group. The organization may develop a naming convention that is consistent across the different groups. The @ symbol is often used in front of the name for ERGs (such as LatinX@CompanyName and Black@CompanyName) with names that are proper nouns to help put them into context when referring to the ERG in conversation and in writing.
Confirm an executive sponsor. The organization assigns a c-level leader as executive sponsor who plays a key role in advocating for the needs, direction and development of the ERG. This person does not need to share the demographic identity of the group—in fact, much of the time, they don't. They are an ally, expected to communicate to the senior leadership team about the work and needs of the ERG, amplify its impact, and clear hurdles from the path of healthy growth.
Establish a cadence for meetings. Meeting bi-weekly is a recommended approach for ERGs that are just starting out. Monthly or quarterly meetings with a sponsor can be useful as well as a longer retreat or meeting – a half-day or full-day. Some well-established ERGs have their own multi-day conferences with panels and outside speakers.
Set expectations for meeting conversations. If allies are allowed to join the group, ensure expectations are clear; they may be asked to listen and learn rather than occupy the main conversation, or only welcome at designated quarterly meetings. Conversations are intended to be given some confidentiality, but there are limits. If a concern is surfaced that violates company protocol, reporting may be recommended. Be transparent and intentional about expectations for conversational norms and include them in the charter.
Plan ahead for the year. Create a calendar accessible to all group members with events, meetings and other relevant details. Use some meetings (steering committee or broader all-hands meetings) as a time to brainstorm and plan, and create the expectation that regular meetings will be used to provide updates.
Write a charter. Once these things are in place, create a charter that contains the mission, goals, cadence, and roles. Determine roles such as the difference between committee members and regular members. Let individuals determine how they will drive the group forward and revisit the committee's commitment every 6 months.
Focus on a diverse set of events to engage the ERG. The steering committee takes the ideas related to the mission, turns them into action items, helps direct the broader group, and shares accomplishments to the broader ERG. The broader group can provide support in different ways, such as participating and sharing in meetings, recruiting new members and engaging the rest of the company, including speaking about the ERG at their own departmental meetings.
Determine budget. HR usually provides funds for ERGs, with an amount roughly proportional to the number of members.
Communicate to the organization. Share stories and events on internal newsletter and/ or social media in coordination with appropriate departments. Post about committee roles, events, accomplishments, etc.
Consider marketing. Create a unique logo for merchandise to hand out at events. This will create more visibility and provide a lasting impression. Make sure to have someone designated to take photos at events to post real time, post event, or recaps to the broader ERG, company, and external networks.
Know the resources available. For each ERG, your steering committee will be responsible for forecasting and estimating expenses at the beginning of each fiscal year.
Consider events that tie into the mission. Speakers, lunches, happy hours, networking events, conference attendance and more are all options for ERG members.
Consider how your group will stay connected. Are there internal tools for chat that can aid the group, or is email going to be the primary vehicle? A file-sharing site is useful for sharing resources.
When running an ERG:
Work cross-functionally. Engage other departments…because leverage the help of colleagues is crucial to ensure ERG success! Start with introductions, sharing needs, and start a mutually beneficial relationship. This includes HR, Facilities, Marketing, Branding, and other departments.
Make an impact. Once there is a solid foundation, focus on executing on the mission and the desired impact you want to make. Communication is important to keep momentum going. This applies when promoting events, engaging community, and maintaining relationships. Happy hours or brownbag lunches may help build community or a sense of awareness around a particular event…such as a specific group history month. If your mission includes a desire to help with hiring more individuals who identify with your group, consider whether you might want to attend a recruiting event.
ERG and BERGs deliver their greatest impact when they can bring everyone in the company along.
By focusing on results, sharing successes and solutions to challenges, ERGs can learn from each other, and the rest of the company will learn too.
Our best advice? Approach the development of an ERG with curiosity and a learning mindset to overcome hurdles…and make an impact that lasts.

With Little Man Eric on the move (and I mean, really, really on the move, nearly at the walking point and certainly at the falling down/climbing around point) and with the way life naturally cycles back and forth and around all things, I have not been blogging nearly as much as I think about blogging—right before my head hits the pillow!
Our lives are full of springtime right now: quilts and gardens and new recipes and play dates and the start of a new gymnastics session and our next Music Together semester. It always amazes me how much I love each season. "Fall is my FAVORITE!!" I have been known to exclaim in delight at the first sign of nip in the night air. Yet then there is the cozy wintertime of Christmas season. And here, in Spring, I feel ready to hug the world for all its sunshine and budding trees and bushes. Life seems to be a promise that there shall never be a shortage of things to wonder at, or to take delight in. Each season brings its own goodness.
This week has been spent in our yard and in our garden. Feeling soil beneath my fingernails. Feeling the contentment that arises from sun and breeze and physical labor joined to the preparing and sowing of the earth. Happy days. I let the yard and garden go a little fallow this late fall and early winter. We always have an Autumn planting of mums, but I let that go by this year. I resolved, though, that we would turn our yard back into a colorful, productive, relaxing, and enchanting haven for the Spring and Summer. Our aim is to go out in the sunshine daily, to find ways to make the landscape magic. To watch our herbs and vegetables and fruit grow. To have tan lines. To be filled with air and beauty.
We celebrated last night with a semi-impromptu family barbecue with my mom and dad. After a day working outside, the kiddos were excited when their grandparents came over. We served barbecued Wild Alaskan salmon and chicken with barbecue sauce, warm biscuits with freshly whipped honey butter, roasted asparagus, grilled sweet white corn, and lemon meringue tart. Springtime on the tongue.
Day One of gardening in the garden! Currently growing (well, presumably): zucchini, carrots, tomatoes, onions, strawberries, cantaloupe, jalapeno pepper, cilantro, parsley, mint, thyme, basil, sage, rosemary.
Adding to the joy, our cousin Hannah came to visit us this afternoon. What a delight is her heart. My kiddos love her, and I love her. She is a peaceful, loving person and it was pleasant to share lunch with her and to sit out in the open air and play outside. What a gift to share time!
One of these days I am going to take up the metaphor of gardening as compared to the seeds we sow in our hearts and how it connects to looking for the weeds in our own hearts before trying to weed or tend the heart-garden of anyone else…. But I know that metaphor has been examined already. I only know for sure that, when we work the land we are reconnected to the fundamentals of life and existence, and it has been a welcome opportunity to think about my own heart-life.

How CSULB is Empowering Latino Families to Get Healthier
by Ana Gonzalez
In a world of fast food, and lots of screen time, it's not always easy to be healthy. In fact, sometimes it's downright hard. Especially if you are working an office job, or have a child spending more time at home . When sports and activities are canceled, parents may find themselves needing extra support. Which is why Cal-State Long Beach has decided to step in with their new Eat, Pray, Grow project. Per the article below:
"When the COVID-19 pandemic shut down schools, disrupted everyday routines and decreased opportunities for physical activity, Monica Llamas began to notice the effects it had on her family. Her children were no longer participating in sports at school or playing outside as much as they used to.
In February, Llamas participated in the Eat, Play, Go! program hosted by the Cal State Long Beach Center for Latino Community Health to understand her family's eating and exercise habits and teach her 10-year-old daughter Mya the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The Eat, Play, Go project is a weekly, month-long informational program aimed at addressing household behaviors that may place Latino youth at risk of high blood pressure and Type 2 diabetes.
'Without a doubt, COVID-19 brought a sedentary lifestyle to our families,' said Isabel Rojas, a program promoter and community outreach assistant for the Latino Health Center. 'The program brings tools for families to not stay static in their homes, but on the contrary, it is an opportunity for them to be together, to all be seated at the table to plan schedules, plan meals and bond through healthy activities."Families interested in participating in the next phase of the program can contact program staff at 562-985-1770 or fill out the survey here.

Cancer sufferers face with the fight of their lives! A lot of researchers try to find out more effective cancer treatment that's not as devastating as chemo and radiation.
Probably one of the best known is vitamin B17.
Back in 1970s, Sloan-Kettering was one of the leading research centers of cancer in U.S. at the period of full swing of this deadly disease. In 1974, Ralph Moss joined the Sloan-Kettering center, and it was in this period when they were testing the form of vitamin B17 called Laetrile. This was his first big job, and he suddenly found himself in the middle of a huge groundbreaking discovery.
However, as soon as the Board of Directors of the center found out more about this research, they swept Laetrile under the rug, and stopped the research upon the conclusion that Laetrile is potentially dangerous.
But Ralph Moss couldn't just leave this topic, as he saw huge potential in this vitamin. He called a press conference where he blamed his employer of organizing huge cover-up of the research of vitamin B17. Ever since then, Laetrile has been banned in America.
According to the FDA, this vitamin is extremely toxic. Nevertheless, many doctors still disagree. Edward Griffin has extensively studied this vitamin, and has explained his thoughts in his book "World Without Cancer". He explains that he couldn't find any statements that amygdalin in any dosage employed or recommended by medical doctors in America and abroad, is pharmacologically harmful.
According to 2003 research, amygdalin in peach pits affects the growth of tumor.
A 2006 research showed that it regulates Bax and Bcl-2 expressions in cancerous cells, causing apoptosis.
A 2013 research, it was discovered that it is potentially effective in the treatment of cervical cancer.
According to 2014 research, it affects bladder cancer tumors.
The former employee of Sloan-Kettering center, Ralph Moss, has started a petition calling his former employer to recognize the positive results of Laetrile. Click here if you like to sign the petition.
However, we don't encourage you to seek out this vitamin illegally by breaking the law.
If you like to find out more about the role of vitamin B17 in the cancer treatment, please consult your doctor. You should talk with your doctor prior to taking any medicines or supplements, or starting a new treatment for any serious health condition, such as cancer.

Q: linux contextually process stderr only if present I want to only have a process called if there actually is a STDERR present, but I don't know how to evaluate if one is actually present or not.  This code:
errtest() {
  kubectl get namespace -A
  kubectl get namespace -A 2> >(echo "why am I here")
}
> errtest

Output:
NAME                               STATUS   AGE
2c74fd3b89e64077afd34d8ab8af4f09   Active   10d
845d1f1c71ed42c8b9e4c780992a95c0   Active   367d
why am I here
NAME                               STATUS   AGE
2c74fd3b89e64077afd34d8ab8af4f09   Active   10d
845d1f1c71ed42c8b9e4c780992a95c0   Active   367d

Obviously the first time shows that the output doesn't have any error, so the primary question is, why is "why am I here" showing?  That seems counterintuitive.
The secondary question is, in this case, how could I identify the STDERR so that I can work on context? Something like:
      kubectl get namespace -A 2> >(if [[ -z STDERR ]]; then echo "there is an error"; fi)

A: So the understanding needed to resolve this issue is what is being passed to
>(echo "why am I here")

.. specifically, a resource which can be read line by line.  AFAIK the resource is not something that can be (easily) passed further.  Or referenced as a variable.  This was the solution I had:
errtest() {
  random_variable="hello this works"
  # yes you can pass parameters as well..
  kubectl get namespace -A 2> >(errtest_if $random_variable)
}
errtest_if() {
  while read line; do
    echo "parameter 1 is $1"
    echo $line          #<< first line of the error
    #evaluate it if desired
    echo "looks like you are not logged in"
    #maybe call something else if desired

    #break if you only need to know there _is_ an error
    break
  done
}
> errtest

NOTE: as far as using ifne I chose not to because a) it wasn't installed on my linux and b) if that's true for me then it'll be true for someone else.

Failure, according to the academic canonical narrative, is anything other than a tenure-track professorship. The academic job hunt is fraught with unknowns: a time of fear, hope, and despair. This personal narrative follows the author's three-year journey from doctoral candidate, to visiting assistant professor, to the unemployment line. Using a layered account and through a Foucauldian lens the author examines the academic success narrative, delving into the emotional bipolarity during the job search, and the use technologies of the self. It concludes with a reexamination of academic discourses and the canonical narrative of academic success as well as an appeal to continue to do good work.

Q: Disable meshrenderer for multiple gameobjects I'm currently working on some type of LOD system where I have some ferns that have to be enabled and disabled. I'm using a cube for this process, so when when my character touches the cube the ferns meshrenderers will be disabled and when not touching it, it'll enable them. Now the part where I struggle, is when I have to enable/disable the meshrenderes of these gameobjects tagged with fern.
Here is my code so far:
public GameObject[] FernPlants;
public MeshRenderer MR;

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
    FernPlants = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Fern");
}

private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
    if(other.tag == "Player")
    {
        //Disable meshrenderers on FernPlants
    }
}

private void OnTriggerExit(Collider other)
{
    //Enable meshrenderers on FernPlants
}

A: Try with something like:
public GameObject[] FernPlants;
public MeshRenderer MR;

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
    FernPlants = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Fern");
}

private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
    if(other.tag == "Player")
    {
        //Disable meshrenderers on FernPlants
        foreach(GameObject go in FernPlants)
        {
            go.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().enabled = false;
        }
    }
}

private void OnTriggerExit(Collider other)
{
    //Enable meshrenderers on FernPlants
    foreach(GameObject go in FernPlants)
    {
        go.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().enabled = true;
    }
}


The philosophy of our Special Needs Ministry is broad and yet tailor made to the needs of your child and family. The ultimate goal for each ministry is to achieve maximum learning and spiritual development. Our goal is to provide a time that is educationally and socially enriching to your child. We desire to give your child and family the personal care and attention needed to make coming to church a joyful and beneficial experience. We seek to provide a support network for the parents as well.
A customized place for kids.
Compass Friends is a ministry to kids, up through sixth grade with special needs, who are better served in their own learning environment. Compass Friends provides a customized place for kids with more pronounced special needs to learn about God, the Bible and church as well as develop friendships with other peers and relationships with teachers. A Compass Friends Assessment form must be completed prior to placement in Compass Friends and is based on classroom openings.
A one-on-one ministry for kids.
Buddy Up is for students up through sixth grade who are high functioning and do best main streamed in an existing classroom with their peers but need additional assistance in order to be successful in learning.
After a Buddy Up Assessment form is completed and reviewed, the Buddy Up ministry provides an adult "buddy" for a student with special needs." This one-on-one relationship allows the classroom teacher to focus on the entire class while the "buddy" provides assistance to the child. The ultimate goal is to achieve maximum learning and spiritual development through this arrangement.
If you are interested in serving in either of these ministries, please read and complete the documents found on the Compass KIDS Serve page.

NFL starting quarterbacks often say that getting benched is the worst thing that can happen as professionals. But the Buffalo Bills' benching of EJ Manuel was an act of mercy.
Manuel could eventually develop into a quality pro, but he's nowhere close at the moment. Manuel's greatest strengths, by all accounts, are hard to measure. He's a hard worker that other players gravitate toward as a leader. That ultimately doesn't show up when we turn on NFL Game Rewind each week, and his mobility hasn't been a consistent factor.
Perhaps most damning, Manuel fails to see the field well. He often is too willing to take a quick check-down while his receivers are running free down the field despite having time in the pocket. We've seen him throw the ball away when he has receivers open and is facing no pressure; that's a sign of a quarterback who is not thinking clearly. He can play it safe to the point of immobilization.
The Bills coaching staff limited Manuel's impact on the first three games of the season as much as they could. Even when his numbers looked good, he was asked to do so much less than a veteran starting quarterback. That changed Sunday in Houston. With the Texans stacking the box to stop the run, the Bills went pass heavy in the first half despite playing with a lead.
Manuel responded by missing a ton of throws, even when he had fine protection. He faced a lot of quick pressure, but he also invited pressure on other plays. We came away from the Bills' loss in Houston thinking that Buffalo has a quality team held back by a young quarterback who isn't thinking or throwing straight. He hasn't shown any noticeable sign of progress as a pro.
Bills coach Doug Marrone ultimately felt the same way and made the change to Kyle Orton. It's a franchise-altering move and perhaps a defining one for Marrone. General manager Doug Whaley did not hire Marrone, earning his promotion months after Marrone was hired. That's an awkward dynamic, and the Bills also have new owner Terry Pegula ready to take over soon.
In short: Marrone is feeling the pressure to win now. He feels that his best chance is with Orton, a guy who's on his fifth team, wanted to retire this offseason and just signed with the Bills a month ago. That says everything you need to know about Manuel's play.

Nutella rejects personalised jar for five-year-old girl named Isis
By Michael Koziol
Updated November 27, 2015 — 2.52pm first published at 11.53am
Illawarra mother Heather Taylor is becoming accustomed to the odd looks, gasps and uncomfortable silences that accompany the mention of her daughter's name. Now she has suffered perhaps the ultimate indignity - being denied a personalised jar of Nutella.
Ms Taylor's sister tried to buy five personalised jars - which are labelled with the recipient's name - for her nephew Odhinn and her niece Isis from a Myer department store in Shellharbour.
"You are actually making my daughter's name dirty": Heather Taylor and her daughter Isis, 5.
Ms Taylor said both names were initially flagged as problematic by a computer. After some negotiation, Odhinn was deemed acceptable - but the store manager drew the line at Isis, an acronym commonly used to denote Islamic State.
Myer told Ms Taylor that Nutella had a protocol for acceptable names and directed her to Nutella's parent company, Ferrero Australia.
Nutella said the personalised labels were intended to be a "fun and joyful" campaign.
Ferrero chief executive Craig Barker personally contacted her the next day to stand by the company's position.
"I'm really quite upset by this," Ms Taylor told him. "You are actually making my daughter's name dirty. You are choosing to refuse my daughter's name in case the public refers to it negatively."
The Nutella campaign, which allows fans of the hazelnut spread to personalise a 750 gram or one kilogram jar, was launched in September. In a statement, Ferrero Australia confirmed the label in question was not approved for printing due to its sensitive nature.
"Like all campaigns, there needs to be consistency in the way terms and conditions are applied," the company said. "Unfortunately, this has meant there have been occasions where a label has not been approved on the basis that it could have been misinterpreted by the broader community or viewed as inappropriate."
The campaign was intended to be used in "a fun and joyful way", the statement said.
Ms Taylor, 43, named her five-year-old daughter after the Egyptian goddess Isis, revered as a matriarch and friend of the disadvantaged. Her son Odhinn, 8, was named after a god in Nordic mythology.
ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham) has come into common parlance only in the past two years, an alternative name for IS (Islamic State), Daesh or ISIL (the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant). The terrorist group has seized territory in both Syria and Iraq, uses brutal methods to rape, kill and pillage and has produced shocking videos that depict beheadings and other forms of torture.
Ms Taylor said she would not be in favour of putting the name "Hitler" on a jar of Nutella, but her case was different because she named her daughter before the rise of Islamic State, she said. She also has no intention of changing her daughter's name, and argues the name Isis needed to be reclaimed.
"This is an acronym that is used incorrectly by the media that Nutella are supporting," Ms Taylor said. "We need to be calling the Daesh death cult by their name, Daesh."
Unforeseeable though it may have been, the Taylor family are now dealing with the consequences of the unfortunate name choice. Ms Taylor has to shield her daughter from news reports, and regularly receives looks of disbelief in public places.
"I am starting to get to the point where I don't want to call her name out," she said. "Because she's going to start noticing people looking."
Ms Taylor also feels particularly aggrieved by a Woman's Day article published earlier this month, which ranked "Isis" as No.1 on a list of 12 baby names that should be criminalised.
"Everyone knows that Isis' mythology has been trumped by the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), the group known for, among other things, beheading two journalists and a camera worker," the article suggested. "So, maybe don't go with Isis."
Oddly enough, "Nutella" was No.2 on the Woman's Day list of names that should be made illegal.

LA's New Minimum Wage Isn't Worth Anywhere Close To $15
May 20, 2015 , at 6:04 PM
By Ben Casselman
Filed under Minimum Wage
Workers demand the Los Angeles City Council vote to raise the minimum wage Tuesday, May 19, 2015, in Los Angeles.
Damian Dovarganes / AP
The Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday voted to raise the city's minimum wage to nearly $10 an hour.
Oh, sure, the headlines in Wednesday's papers all said the council raised the wage floor to $15 an hour. That's what the actual ordinance says, too. But $10 is a more accurate reflection of what low-wage Angelenos will actually experience.
There are two reasons for this. The first is inflation: Los Angeles's minimum wage won't go up to $15 tomorrow. Instead, the hike will be phased in over the next five years. Assuming inflation holds more or less steady, $15 an hour in 2020 will be worth the equivalent of about $13.75 today.
But the bigger issue is that $15 doesn't go as far in Los Angeles as it does in most of the rest of the country. Not even close. According to data from the Council for Community and Economic Research, it costs workers about 40 percent more to live in Los Angeles than in the average American community. That means that $15 in LA is the equivalent of less than $11 in the U.S. overall.
Put the two together and LA's new minimum wage of $15 in 2020 is worth about $9.75 to the typical American worker today. (This is a fairly rough estimate. See methodology note below for more details.)
Still, $9.75 an hour would represent a big raise for hundreds of thousands of Angelenos. The city's current minimum wage is $9 an hour, which is the equivalent of less than $6.50 after adjusting for LA's high cost of living. That gives Los Angeles one of the lowest cost-adjusted minimum wages in the country. A University of California, Berkeley, study last year estimated that an earlier version of the wage-hike proposal would give raises to 567,000 workers, most of them minorities. (A report commissioned by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce countered that the proposal could cost the city thousands of jobs.)
LA is hardly alone. High living costs mean that the minimum wage doesn't go very far in many other big coastal cities, even those that set the wage floor well above the federal level of $7.25 an hour. New York's $8.75 minimum wage, for example, buys the equivalent of just $4 worth of goods in Manhattan (and $5 in Brooklyn — we don't have data for New York's other boroughs). Even San Francisco's highest-in-the-nation $12.25 minimum wage is worth only about $7. (That figure will rise to about $8.20 when the city's $15 minimum wage takes effect in 2018.)
Meanwhile, southern and Midwestern cities are comparatively affordable despite having lower nominal minimum wages. Tennessee has no state minimum wage, meaning most employees are covered by the federal minimum wage. But in Memphis, a low cost of living means $7.25 is worth about $8.50. And in Columbus, Ohio, the $8.10 state minimum is worth close to $9.
To see how other big cities compare, see the table below.
Methodology note: The Council for Community and Economic Research calculates a cost-of-living index for more than 300 U.S. cities. The index is based on local prices for a representative "basket of goods," weighted according to the government's Consumer Expenditure Survey. The CCER's index, however, attempts to estimate costs for "professional and executive households," whose spending patterns differ from those of minimum-wage workers.
In order to account for this, I re-weighted the CCER's index based on the CPI-W, the Bureau of Labor Statistics' measure of prices for urban wage workers. (This is slightly different from the better-known CPI-U, which measures prices for all urban consumers, regardless of whether they work.) This process isn't perfect; I could only re-weight the prices the CCER collected, not change the items themselves, and the categories in the CCER's data didn't perfectly match those in the CPI-W. My analysis also doesn't account for the ways in which low-wage workers might differ from typical earners. Still, the major differences should be reliable: Wage earners spend more of their income on housing, gas and medical care than the wealthier people in the CCER's index, and less on pretty much everything else.
My inflation adjustments assume that prices rise 1.7 percent per year, which has been the average annual change in the Consumer Price Index over the past three years. If inflation is higher, as the Federal Reserve expects, then the present value of future minimum-wage increases will be lower. At a 2 percent inflation rate, for example, LA's 2020 minimum wage would be worth only about $13.55 instead of $13.75 (before adjusting for living costs). All my calculations are based on full years, so a 2020 wage hike is assumed to take effect exactly five years from today.
CORRECTION (May, 21, 7:52 a.m.): The San Diego City Council passed a minimum-wage increase last year, but subsequently agreed to delay the increase pending a public referendum. An earlier version of the table in this story indicated the increase had taken effect.

As Congress weighs defund, Live Action releases video exposing Planned Parenthood abortion quotas
Former employee speaks out about "pizza parties" as reward for hitting abortion sales goals
Washington, D.C. (February 7, 2017) – Today, Live Action released an exposé featuring eyewitness testimony from two former Planned Parenthood employees – one a center manager, the other a nurse – revealing that Planned Parenthood required their facilities to hit monthly sales quotas for the number of abortions they did. The abortion giant also instituted "corrective action plans" for those facilities that failed to meet the quotas while giving pizza parties and other incentives to those that met them.https://youtu.be/mkxUAR3a_Jc
"Planned Parenthood's Abortion Quotas" is the latest video in the series "Abortion Corporation." Prior videos documenting the lack of authentic women's health care at their centers include: "Ultrasounds for Killing, Not Care at Planned Parenthood," "Planned Parenthood Managers: Ultrasounds for Abortions, Not Care," and "The Prenatal Care Deception." These videos have received a combined 25 million views on Facebook since the first video launched Jan. 24.
Live Action is releasing the investigative series as Congress and President Donald Trump plan to redirect over $400 million in Medicaid funding away from Planned Parenthood to thousands of federally qualified local health clinics and as the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act makes its way to the Senate.
Former Storm Lake, IA, Planned Parenthood manager Sue Thayer revealed in the video that incentives given to employees for reaching abortion sales goals included pizza parties and paid time off. Employees were trained to convince women to have abortions to meet their goals.
"I trained my staff the way that I was trained, which was to really encourage women to choose abortion; to have it at Planned Parenthood, because it counts towards our goal."
"It sounds kind of crazy, but pizza is a motivator [for getting abortion numbers up]."
How Planned Parenthood would pressure financially distressed women into abortions:
"If they'd say, 'I'm not able to pay [my bill] today,' then we would say something like, 'Well, if you can't pay $10 today, how are you going to take care of a baby? Have you priced diapers? Do you know how much it costs to buy a car seat? Where would you go for help? There's no place in Storm Lake (or whatever town they were in), you know, where you can get help as a pregnant mom. So really, don't you think your smartest choice is termination?'"
– Sue Thayer, former Planned Parenthood manager, Storm Lake, IA
"Planned Parenthood doesn't have quotas for adoptions. It doesn't have quotas for prenatal care. But quotas for abortions? Absolutely," said Lila Rose, president and founder of Live Action. "Planned Parenthood makes a profit off women in the midst of their most difficult experiences and incentivizes its staff to take the lives of children in the womb with pizza parties, paid time off, and lunches with upper management. It's time to redirect our tax money toward local health clinics that actually provide real care to women, instead of to Planned Parenthood, a corporation focused on upping its abortion numbers."


Kale is another ingredient I hear a lot about from CSA members. This pasta dish is one that stemmed completely from what was one hand, but I'm sure I will revisit it in the coming months.
1. In a medium sized skillet over medium heat, render the bacon until nice and crispy and set aside.
2. In the residual bacon fat, fry the potato until slightly cooked, 5-7 minutes.
4. Add the kale and garlic and cover, cook until it just wilts. 4-6 minutes.
5. Drop in the cooked pasta, toss well and serve garnished with the crispy bacon.
You could cover this in grated cheese if you were so moved, but I didn't have any the night this recipe came to fruition. It was just fine without it.


As summer approaches we're turning to countries with warmer climes for foodie inspiration. This week's meat-free Monday recipe is a veggie paella from brand new recipe book Market Vegetarian by Ross Dobson.
Ross Dobson is a chef, food stylist and cookbook author with 14 books to his name. In his non-writing time, he has been kept busy as the chef/owner of two western Sydney restaurants. His no-fuss recipes in Market Vegetarian proves that vegetarian food doesn't have to be labour intensive or dull.

Maybach 62: Spotted
Sick of hearing about rappers and their Rolls-Royce Phantoms? Then take a look at the Platzhirsch 'Benz
Making a statement can net you big money – take Banksy's partially shredded Girl with balloon. It's presently worth more semi-destroyed than it was when it hung in one piece at the time the hammer fell. However, when Mercedes attempted to restore Maybach's to its role as the ultimate status vehicle – in an attempt to challenge BMW, which was busy piecing back together the shredded Rolls-Royce brand – it didn't make any headway. In fact, in the process it made one of the most costly automotive mistakes since Ford and the Edsel.
It all started back in 1997 when the first two-tone concept car was shown at the Tokyo motor show. At 6.2 metres long, it was a big old beast and the lion's share of that length went to those in the rear seats – something which is blindingly obvious from the side profile and those huge backdoors. It featured fantastic luxuries as a 20-inch flat screen TV, two airline-style reclining chairs, a personal computer and a natty glass roof that could be turned opaque at the touch of a button. More importantly, it was powered by a V12 engine.
However, it wasn't until 2002 when the Maybach finally went on sale. Yes, it was fantastically powerful with 545hp and a 0-62mph time of 5.3 seconds. Yes, it was wonderfully well appointed with the finest wood and leather adorning the dashboard and yes, it still had the best rear legroom of any luxury car along a huge range of adjustment. Trouble was, the new Maybach relied heavily on the W220 Mercedes S-Class platform – a car which was already considered the finest luxury car in the world and cost considerably less than the £366,540 charged for a 62. And that was without options.
To make matters worse, an all-new S-Class came along a few years later, leading people to question why on earth they were expected to pay so much money for what was ostensibly an old design. Then, to pile it on even further in 2008, the financial crisis put a dampener on companies and individuals splashing the cash on heavily depreciating assets such as obscenely expensive luxury vehicles. Despite initial hopes that they'd sell 2,000 examples a year, by the time Mercedes pulled the plug in 2012, only 3,000 Maybach cars had actually been delivered. Some have speculated that the loss to the company was around €330,000 on each car.
But, Mercedes' loss then is your gain now because today you could have an early example like this 2004 62 for just £59,950 – or 16 per cent of what it cost new. Still a lot of money, of course, but when you consider that options like the central divider cost as much as a new Volkswagen Golf back in the day, suddenly it doesn't seem quite so bad.
Plus, this thing is still one of the most comfortable ways to be chauffeured around from luxury pad to luxury resort. It's also ridiculously quick for a three-ton monster and virtually silent on the move. And, if some of you are worried about the longevity of a Maybach, consider the tale of one eccentric German owner who bought one new in 2004 and proceeded to put over one million kilometres on it his in nine years of ownership. Which rather makes the mere 37,000 miles on this example look piffling in comparison, doesn't it?

Momina Mustehsan and Bilal Saeed's new Punjabi track 'Baari' is melodious & sweet
by Entertainment Desk
The country's sweetheart Momina Mustehsan has just released a new song in collaboration with Bilal Saeed, and it's the sweetest song we've heard in a while.
Titled Baari, the song is accompanied by a gorgeous music video featuring lovely shots of old Lahore, exuding a warm, loving vibe that is perfectly in sync with the lyrics of the song; they talk about allowing love to come into one's life through doorways specially created for it, where previously there have been high walls.
A melodious Punjabi track, that is faintly reminiscent of Mann Bharya during the chorus, Baari is sure to be a hit because it appeals to the kind of demographic that Momina commands; the young lovers who are finding their way in love and would have a playlist of love songs dedicated to long nights. Momina, of course is in her element, with her statement charm shining through the length of the video as she embodies the shy, young girl who's falling in love. Bilal on the other hand is on point as a guy visiting old Lahore from abroad and being enchanted with the charm and beauty there.
The video also features popular YouTuber Rahim Pardesi in a cameo at the start, playing Bilal's friend who constantly teases him for not spending enough time with him and instead waiting to catch a glimpse of the lovely Momina. That's when we see Momina walking in with her friends and the song starts off.
Produced and presented by Bilal Saeed and One Two Records, the song hit YouTube on the 26th of November and has already amassed more than 600,000 views in less than a day. Watch it here:

Are you looking to extend the functionality of Quickbooks or Quicken, retooling your financial management systems, or simply starting a business from scratch? Consider investigating the VersaCheck family of business computing solutions from G7 Productivity Systems.
Based in San Diego, Calif., G7 publishes several popular software solutions for home office and small business use. While some of you may not be familiar with G7 (or VersaCheck for that matter), the company's products are readily available at more than 4,000 retail stores throughout the U.S. and Canada.
G7 provides a variety of business automation solutions, such as form creation software, data capture programs, customer relationship management systems, and the like. For today, we're going to focus on G7's family of financial management tools and check creation products.
G7 recently added a new level of digital security to its VersaCheck lineup of check processing products. The upgrade, touted as CheckScape Digital Check, allows users to verify checks and track deposits electronically, in compliance with strict standards set by the United Trust Association (UTA). These standards determine how barcode readers and scanners decipher the digitized information embedded into each check.
The digitized system encodes the details of each check passed through the system, such as the amount, number, and payee details. Consequently, each check is assigned a unique identifier, which authenticates each check electronically. As a result, both the check recipient and issuer can rest assured that there is an electronic trail blazed — recipients and issuers can verify checks and track the status of deposits.
What is the price of this new measure of digital trust? Less than you'd think. The VersaCheck Home and Business edition starts at just $59.99. With it, you can create and print your own custom checks (as long as your business has a Windows-based PC that is connected to a laser or inkjet printer).
Taking payments are nearly as easy as making payments with VersaCheck. Using the same user-friendly, point-and-click interface used to write checks, VersaCheck Home and Business allows you to create check drafts, too. This means your business can accept payments from customers with just their basic checking account information. This information is saved in a database, which not only allows you to create additional check drafts for your repeat customers, but also acts as a handy address book, too.
Additionally, VersaCheck's transaction register function allows you to review account activity in great detail. You can readily sort through or split transactions for checks containing multiple line items in different business expense categories. Other pertinent features allow you to schedule regular bill payments or set bill-payment reminders.
Because VersaCheck works seamlessly with most popular financial management applications, you can easily import and export transaction files from existing records. If you already have a merchant account (and most small businesses do), VersaCheck's built-in Virtual Terminal is also capable of processing credit cards in real time, as well as accepting credit card purchases made by phone, fax, or e-mail.
G7 offers more robust versions of the check processing application for more demanding business use. The SmartCheck 4000 Small Business edition features the same customizable design and print functions as the VersaCheck Home and Business edition, but it also capable of printing customizable deposit slips and business forms on demand. (That is, as long as your business happens to runs a use a Hewlett-Packard compatible laser printer like the PCL5 or 5e).
SmartCheck 4000 comes with a variety or pre-designed business forms, tax forms and check templates that are compatible with Quicken, QuickBooks, MS Money, Peachtree, DacEasy, MAS90 and other accounting systems. You can easily make changes to templates to customize the forms or design them from scratch with the help of a friendly wizard to guide you through the process.
In addition to printing checks individually or in batches — complete with account holder and bank information, serial numbers and bank codes on the bottom of each check — SmartCheck 4000 can also handle printing multi-part forms and is can route different pages of multi-page or multi-part forms to different printers on your computer network. This option allows you to create a high-speed print environment for your business, by using several printers at the same time. Once again, if time is money, further accounting efficiencies can be achieved.
If your business requires even faster check printing capabilities, you can boost print performance further with an optional Flash-Booster Module, which is included with the Performance Plus edition of the software for $249.99.
The module plugs into your printer's SIMM/DIMM slot and gives you a permanent and secure way to upgrade a laser printer. (No such storage options are available for ink jet printers). The module is capable of storing more than 200 custom checks, forms and the like, while reducing data traffic on your computer network. In other words, you don't have to stop transacting business in order to process your payroll.
Whether you opt to integrate other G7 business automation solutions at your business or not, the VersaCheck family of check processing applications are a low-cost, user-friendly place to start. Ultimately, the greatest gains are made in employee productivity — and it's tough to put a price tag on efficiency. But if your current check-processing system puts the rest of your business temporarily out of business, then attaining a new level of network efficiency is priceless.


We are extremely excited to introduce you to our latest initiative designed especially for you and your child to enjoy together, the Learning Vision Recipe Book.
Eating healthy leads to a healthy body and mind, so we would like to use this opportunity to teach Learning Vision's children the importance of eating healthy in a fun way…cooking!
'Cooking with Me' is a fun way for children to be introduced to the wonderful world of textures, tastes and aromas and a great tool to show children that learning about nutrition, maintaining a balanced diet, consuming food that is good for you and cooking can actually be lots of fun!
This recipe book will provide you with hours of great bonding sessions with your child as you teach them the importance of eating healthy whilst having fun cooking.
We would love to receive your favourite healthy recipes that you and your child enjoy at home so we can share these with everyone else or even publish them as one of the monthly recipes (email recipes to healthyeating@learningvision.com or drop it in one of the "Cooking with Me" suggestion boxes at your centre).
Let's make healthy cooking and eating a part of life for every Learning Vision family!
It's just as easy to make chicken stew. This quick, easy and delicious recipe takes only minutes to prepare. Click on the link below to start learning how to cook this dish with your children.

As the deadline to submit college applications approaches and many Warde seniors frantically complete essays and resumes, it is undoubtedly an extremely stressful time of year. However, I had a chance to sit down with Sophie Sancho, a Warde senior who recently accepted a scholarship to play softball at the University of Bridgeport.
Focus: Congratulations on your scholarship Sophie! How does it feel to be committed to college and already excited for what's ahead?
Sancho: It feels great! I feel so accomplished and proud looking back on my time at Warde, and while it can be a little tough sometimes "battling senioritis," I'm looking forward to the next four years at University of Bridgeport.
F: How has the college process differed for someone like yourself, as you entered the college process from an athletic angle?
S: I would say the main difference was that the recruitment process started a lot earlier, and recruitment was at its busiest in the summer. While the college process starts around junior year for most students, I started contacting coaches and sending in videos in my sophomore year. Besides this and having recruiting take place through coaches rather than through admissions offices, though, the processes were pretty similar.
F: What drew you to the University of Bridgeport?
S: Well, the University of Bridgeport really has a lot of the things I was looking for in a school; they have a terrific softball program, have my intended major of sports journalism, and offer great internship opportunities. Also, I'm excited to stay local and play under the softball coach who I've formed a great relationship with. It really was a great fit for me and I'm really excited to begin!
F: How have you already begun life as a University of Bridgeport student, it still only being two months into your senior year of high school?
S: The transition has been great! I've already found a roommate, and I go to the University nearly every weekend hanging out with the team. I've been on campus a lot already, and we already have so many more events planned. It's really been a great time.
F: Finally, with your time at Warde soon coming to a close, what's a "Mustang Memory" you'll never forget?
S: That's tough…as cliche as it sounds, I'd probably go with winning Battle of the Houses my 10th grade year. Battle is such a great event, and me being an athlete, I've had an unbelievable time participating in it for the past three years. But when Townsend won a couple years ago, it was perfect; the school spirit it brings out, the energy every student brings is so contagious and incredible. Battle of the houses is the pinnacle of Warde spirit activities and I'll never forget it.
F: Thank you so much for taking the time, Sophie, and congratulations again!

Hurst on final preparations
Paul Hurst looks back on pre-season and ahead to Saturday's season-opener
@shrewsweb
Shrewsbury Town boss Paul Hurst has turned his attention fully to Saturday's season-opener with Northampton Town.
Town finished off their pre-season campaign with a 1-0 victory over Burton Albion last Saturday.
That game was the final of seven pre-season friendlies, with Town winning five of those, including four against Championship opposition.
Overall, Paul has been pleased with how his players have done over the last six weeks and believes the squad is in good shape.
"Pre-season's finished now and overall I've been very pleased with what I've seen", Hurst told ShrewsWeb.
"The work rate of the players has been good and I think we are in a decent place going into that first game, so the overall view is a happy one.
"We've beaten the teams that perhaps we weren't expected to and then we've had a couple of results where it's been mixed.
"I think the lads have found it tough, as I would expect them too, but at the same time I still think there's a couple that need a little bit more work to really get to their best levels, so there's still a bit of work to do with those individuals, but overall everything is in good shape."
The final week will now see the players prepare fully for the game against Northampton at the Montgomery Waters Meadow on Saturday and Paul is already thinking about who will be in his matchday squad.
"Having given it some thought I now have an 11 in mind for Saturday, but if I see something else this week then that might give me second thoughts", Paul said.
"There's the bench as well to consider. Up until now I haven't had to leave anyone out and suddenly that changes.
"I've got a couple of decisions to make and a couple of lads will be disappointed that they have spent the season getting fit and up to speed and now they might not be in the matchday squad."
"That's where my job really kicks in because suddenly they have to encounter that disappointment and it's how they react. I will try and manage that as best I can, but ultimately it's about the players and the attitudes they show on a day to day basis."

What's the difference between a Task and a Todo?
A "Todo" is a "Task" that hasn't been completed. Once the task/todo has been completed, it will be removed from your todos list but will stay listed in the complete record of tasks for the matter to which it was assigned.
