The Year of the Tiger roared into Mississauga on Saturday evening to the loud drums and cymbals of a lion dance at the Fo Guang Shan Temple in Meadowvale.

Drew Brees holds his son Baylen Brees as he celebrates his Super Bowl XLIV win
If you can’t be at the super bowl making pictures, then make pictures from your home. It was a touching moment as Drew Brees carried his son, sharing a once in a lifetime moment with little Brees.
Team China's Qi Xueting collides with the Mississauga Junior Chief's Jordyn Denny enroute to China's 4-1 loss to the Chiefs Sunday at Iceland arena in Mississauga. This exhibition game was China's fourth of six games against Ontario Women's Hockey Association teams as a warmup to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
Team China’s olympic women’s hockey team could not penetrate the great wall of Mississauga as the Mississauga Junior Chiefs downed them 4-1 at Iceland arena on Sunday.
There are great examples of leadership found in almost every corner of organizations. Yet, how do you lead without saying a word? How do you lead purely by visual (or even non-visual cues)?
Do you simply let it happen? Do you have a rigid style? Are you somewhere in between? Itay Talgam explores these different styles of leadership.
This has to be one of my favourite TED videos.
From the web site:
An orchestra conductor faces the ultimate leadership challenge: creating perfect harmony without saying a word. In this charming talk, Itay Talgam demonstrates the unique styles of six great 20th-century conductors, illustrating crucial lessons for all leaders.
Now here’s a great story of a generous team of girls. Instead of having their annual secret santa event, a parent suggest they donate the toys to Toys for Tots instead. These girls seemed enthusiastic to help those less fortunate kids and went shopping at the Mattel outlet store for the kids.
A whopping $1,200 was raised through allowances and parents and Mattel also donated some toys to the cause.
I love putting people who help out the community into the paper. (Or at least online if it doesn’t make it to print.) Hopefully I’ll get to shoot some of these girls games next season and they’ll do awesome!
These kids move like fish in water! It was one of those last minute jobs where I get assigned as I am preparing to head out to another job. However, the calibre of these kids made it an easy one to shoot, not to mention arriving during the medley race made for a great variety of shots!
To top it off, this boy, Victor Truong, qualified for the provicials during that heat according to his coach Andreas.
Quick and easy, off to the next job. I had a few good pictures of the girls, but this was the most relavent picture.
The Mississauga St. Michael Majors end up with a triumphant weekend, winning three games in three days and showing no signs of fatigue in this last game against the Frontenacs.
Coming out hitting hard, these Majors end up with yet another 7-4 win at home. This time, they outshot their opponents 42-41.
Not to take away from their play, they did an excellent job of taking the body and showing energy, but the opponent goalies also were really shaky.
However, if they keep up the great job they did this weekend, they will go far this season! They definitely didn’t disappoint and I was well entertained while working!
Niagara IceDogs’ goaltender Mark Visentin looks on helplessly as the puck sails past him. The puck hit the back of the net seven times between Visentin and starting goaltender John Cullen.
It was refreshing to shoot and watch a game where not only the Majors won, but they demolished the IceDogs with a score of 7-4. All that despite being outshot 38-29.
The last Majors game I shot was seriously lacking in energy. In fact, the game and lack of energy made me really sleepy shooting it. This one however, had big hits, lots of shots on net and a lot better puck movement. The players really looked like they were alert and trying to play.
I shoot the next one on Sunday. Hopefully it’ll be as awesome as this one!
I got to see the Ruffriders volleyball club in action and it changed my entire expectations of players in the sport. Somehow, seeing the setter suddenly hop and spike the ball was something so cool.
The Humber Hawks were pretty good, but the Ruffriders were just amazing!
While I thought the ROPSSA teams were good, these guys were just so much better! It inspires me to want to play volleyball.
On November 21, Steve Molitor met more than his match. Right off the opening bell, he was totally out classed by the Panamanian WBA fighter and lost his IBF title. Watching him fight the last four matches, I have to say that under Chris Johnson, he was quite the defensive fighter. Under his new trainer, he was a little bit more aggressive in his last fight. Unfortunately for Molitor, Cabellero was quite a bit out of Molitor’s league.
The second last picture, it was between the two heavy weights. The ring shook every time they stepped forward to punch. It was awesome! I think Olubawale is 6′7″, 270 lbs. It’s like watching a pro wrestler more than a “boxer”. That guy is a monster!
The Ascension Eagles ascended to the top of the ROPSSA charts when they won the Tier One Senior Girls basketball championship today.
It was one of the most enteraining basketball matches I have seen. They traded shots from the outside and even had all kinda fancy moves, hard core rejections on top of the fact the lead seemed to change with just about every few minutes.
Jenisha Grant and Christine Hyde were the Eagle’s offense, combining for 43 of the team’s 59 points with a 23 point and 20 point effort respectively. Talita Campbell scored 12 while Michelle Asare added four more. Asare also showed a lot, if not the most, heart and drive in the game.
In the end, the Eagles took the high ground over the prowling St. Margaret D’Youville Panthers and kept it that way through the last two mintues beating them by a score of 59-56.
Congratulations to the Eagles!
