EmmyWatch: Hold Your Water, Sybil

Sybil declined and was forced to sybil.jpg (30600 bytes)There are probably two characters in various films who have truly freaked me to my core.  One was Linda Blair in The Exorcist (”The sow is mine!”) and the other is the character of Sybil’s mother.  Sybil, back in the ’70s, was played brilliantly by Sally Field.  In fact it may be her best performance.  Of course Field won the Emmy for her portrayal.  But there are things about it I simply can’t forget; I was ten years old when it first aired.  Now I have a ten year-old daughter and I cannot i read

Book Review and Author Interview: Taking Care of Employees
sybil2021407.jpgSybil Years ago I become engrossed  Today I am reviewing the book Taking Care of the People Who Matter Most by Sybil Stershic.  The main premise of the book is this: take care of your employees, and they will take care of your customers!  In seven easy-to-read chapters, Sybil describes how to do this using an “internal marketing” approach.  She helps companies see how to really engage employees so they become committed to the cause, not compliant (doing it because they have to).  Believe me, customers can tell the difference! read
So Much For My Happy Ending
Sybil Years ago I become engrossed Sunday, September 16, 2007Like every other queer man for miles and miles, I was tingling with anticipation for the release of the Sex and the City movie. I missed opening weekend because I was in Philadelphia for the Transgender Health Conference, but after my plane landed on Sunday I rushed to the theater with my friend Sybil. The movie didn't disappoint. It was like three episodes back to back. What did disappoint me was the ending for Samantha. Having never been super pious myself, I always identified with her. So a read

11頭目。
Belmont longshot picks: Da Tara (Pai da Tara) (M�e da Tara)1978年のAffirmed以来、米国3冠に王手をかけた馬は79年Spectacular Bid、81年Pleasant Colony、87年Alysheba、89年Sunday Silence、97年Silver Charm、98年Real Quiet、99年Charismatic、02年War Emblem、03年Funny Cide、04年Smarty Jonesと10頭。記憶に新しい02〜04年あたりは、二冠までをぶっちぎりで勝った馬だっただけに3冠達成が相当期待されたようだが、やはり最後の最後で躓いた。ローテなのか距離なのか。日本の3冠馬は、94年のナリタブライアンから05年のディープインパクトまで11年で誕生したことを考えれば、アメリカのそれがいかに困難なのかがよくわかる。距離幅こそ1,900〜2,400と500メートルしか違わないが、その500メートルが中々超えられない。 今年は4年ぶりに2冠馬が出走するとあってBelmont Park競馬場は盛り上がったことだろう。僕が行った06年はDerby馬もPreakness馬も出走しなかったため、レコードの半数ほどしか入場 read

Ap: NEW YORK — Big Brown failed in his bid to become horse racing's 12th Triple Crown winner when he finished dead last to Da' Tara in the Belmont Stakes. Da' Tara went wire to wire to beat eight other thoroughbreds over 1 1/2 miles, read

Obituaries.
Spoken by Jim McKay SIGNED JIM MCKAY #77 ABC SPORTSFamous ABC sportscaster Jim McKay has died of natural causes, it was reported. McKay was a big horse racing fan and had raced thoroughbreds himself. Of course he covered the sport when ABC carried the Triple Crown races from 1974 into the 21st century. McKay's approach to covering the Triple Crown races was more sentimental than CBS's Jack Whitaker's or NBC's Tom Hammond's approach. He hosted ABC's Wide World of Sports beginning in 1961, and remained there for over 40 years. McKay was 86 yea read
