Google Maps has added additional local landmarks and "prominent" businesses right on top of any map area you're browsing. Just like any other points of interest, you can click on any of these to get the a summary, which includes things like related Web sites, phone numbers, hours of operation, photos, and user reviews.
In Google Earth (Google's globe software) this layer of information is something you can turn on and off, however for Maps, Google has decided simply to bake it in. It's definitely a logical next step, considering Google recently added nearby businesses on top of the results of your original search. This made it far easier to discover a local business, even if it wasn't at the top of Google's index.
Purists may find that all the extra points of interest may clutter things up. Although to combat this, the number of on-screen items increases with the zoom level, meaning that most of the time, you're only seeing landmarks.
One thing to note is that the new mapping tiles do not yet appear on mobile devices like the Google Maps apps for iPhone and Android. We've pinged Google to see if the new tiles are headed there anytime soon.

Rock of love 3, Love Bus stars gia aka kareena
Rock of Love 3 “Love Bus” Starring Gia Adrenaline Crew’s own aka Kareena see her nude in the Adrenaline Crew Chicks DVD!
Watch how hardcore Kareena goes in this FIRST episode of Rock of Love 3. Read below for more information on her and Rock of Love on VH1! We all know now she was kicked off the first episode, i guess in Brett’s old age he can’t hang with the young ones… All good we don’t want Gia slowing down, she is as crazy as the guys and doesn’t care who knows it!
Yes that’s right the hot blond from the cover of the Adrenaline Crew chicks DVD is one of the stars on Rock of Love 3. Kareena (known on the Rock of Love show as “Gia”)As you might image she is just as out of control as the guys in the Crew if not crazier!!!! No joke, don’t believe me?? Here is a scene from Rock of Love 3 from the VH1 website… What a babe puking just like Street Bike Tommy, Robert or Kenny would do! Ahh its so good to see the chicks get down like the guys!
Oh yeah, we also hung out with Bret at Rock the Ink in Rhode Island, not only was he a cool dude and had EVERYONE come to the after party, but he talked real on stage… I’m not jocking the dude, but he was pretty chill. Kareena, opps i mean Gia couldn’t name 4 Brett Michael songs during the interview…So fucking what, the songs are like 80 years old, come out with some new hot shit and then maybe she can think of the names…I can name all my favorite Hatebreed songs!!
Anyways Kareena is doing it her style, hope she lasts long on the Show, knowing the history of Adrenaline Crew im surprised she is even on long enough for an interview haha! Here is the trailer for the TV show, keep an eye out it premiers Sunday January 4th on VH1 at 9pm!! Remember for an uncensored look at full nudes of Gia, I mean Kareena from Rock of Love 3, be sure to purchase the Adrenaline Crew Chicks DVD from our site now! Also she has a website coming soon with exclusive content and photos, check back here for that site! So below is the first episode, if you want to see Gia scroll to 10:28 minutes into the video below!!! Then keep watching from there..haha make us proud girl!!!!!!!
What did Gia do on Rock of Love 3 that they could not show? What did Gia do that even Brett Michael himself was shocked by? A cooter shooter of course! If you are not in the stripper scene let me help you understand that. Gia put a shot in between her hips- in between her lips and the other chick nikki with over stuffed boobs gobbled it up! As you saw Nikki had Ghonoria papers that she was writing her rap to Brett on. Not sure if that was planned or not, what we do know is Brittaney does porn, most of the chicks are smoking hot, and we hope Brett used viagra and didn’t puss out like he did with Gia. Oh well, there is always Charm School 3!

Here is our wrap-up of the third day of the India v England Vizag test.
A successful English morning with the bat
England’s lower order batsmen have had an outstanding year; Bairstow & Stokes currently have the most runs by a test pair in 2016, with 772 together in just 7 innings at an average of over 110. The Indian bowlers’ hope was to wrap up the tail quickly after getting England to 103/5 at Stumps on Day 2, but the lunch session piled on 88 English runs for just 1 wicket.
The Ashwin Factor .. Continued
Right after lunch, Ashwin decided to come to the party, picking up Stokes with a perfect leg-before, Broad and Anderson perished in quick succession. In the process Ashwin racked up his 22nd five-wicket haul, his first against England. We at 1Tip1Hand have covered Ashwin’s stats in depth before, but he just continues to have a sublime understanding of his opponent and control over his variations with the ball. He will return in the 2nd innings on a hat-trick.
India’s Opening Woes Remain
Kohli had exactly enough runs on the board (200) to enforce a follow-on, but chose not to, presumably to apply a day of pressure with the bat and give his bowlers a break. However, another test innings, another opening partnership failure; Rahul scored a cumulative 10 in this test, and Vijay has struggled since his century in the first innings at Rajkot. From ’04 to ’12, Sehwag and Gambhir together racked up 4,412 runs for the first wicket, and Kumble will be hoping he can find the next quality opening pair fast.
Does Kohli bat on a different pitch?
India’s Captain supreme, Kohli averaged over 50 in the New Zealand series, and has scores of 40, 49*, 167 and 56* so far this series. 44 more runs on the morning of Day 4, and Kohli will pick up his 15th century in 50 tests, an astonishing record by modern-day standards; only Steve Smith has done so faster in the last 50 years (and Smith’s ODI record is is not even close to Virat’s). Vijay, Rahul and Pujara all perished early, but Kohli pressed on to rack up 56 off just 70 balls, unfazed.
4 Reviews by England in 23 overs
From just before the Tea break to just after, England used 4 reviews in the span of just 23 overs; the first 2 by their batsmen were unsuccessful, but 2 reviews in just 5 balls bty
Over 90.4: Review by England (Batting), Batsman – BA Stokes (Struck down)
Over 95.1: Review by England (Batting), Batsman – ZS Ansari (Struck down)
Over 8.3: Review by England (Bowling), Batsman – M Vijay (Upheld)
Over 10.1: Review by England (Bowling), Batsman – KL Rahul (Upheld)
At the end of the third day the India v England test at Vizag, India remains in the driver’s seat thanks to brilliance from both Ashwin and Kohli. Barring a miracle, India should take this game home early on Day 5.

I used google to see what methods the pros used. It boiled down to 2 principles= Reverse circulation and heat retention. A lot of people will tell you about controlling the air with inlet and outlet dampers and using gas to supplement the coals.But it is all a workaround for a piss poor design.

Google "reverse flow smoker", and remember the thicker the metal the more heat it will retain. Stay away from 50 gallon barrel type designs.

Falcon Fryers Support Hospitality Action's Invisible Chips Campaign
"We love it," says charity as British manufacturer chips in to Hospitality Action's campaign
Hospitality Action's Invisible Chips campaign is getting a boost from one of the industry's best known companies, Falcon Foodservice - the British manufacturer has pledged to make a donation to the campaign for every fryer it sells over the next year.
The donation will deliver a timely shot in the arm for the charity. Nicola Phillips of Hospitality Action says, "We are so delighted to have Falcon Foodservice Equipment involved with our Invisible Chips Campaign. They are the first equipment manufacturer to get on board and making a donation with every fryer they sell is a fantastic way to support our industry. They have adapted the campaign concept around their business, and we love it!"
The Invisible Chips campaign is all about raising money to support people working in hospitality, whose livelihoods are disappearing as a result of the pandemic. "So many people in the hospitality industry have suffered in the past year," says Peter McAllister, managing director of Falcon. "The Invisible Chips campaign is not just a clever idea, it's also raising vital funds that will make a real difference. That thinking is very close to the hearts of every one of us here at Falcon. We're delighted to be chipping in!"
The support for Hospitality Action follows on from Falcon working with another charity, the Burnt Chef project, and donating £1,000 as a result of the charity's involvement in a recent Falcon Wednesday Webinar. Burnt Chef was setup to eradicate mental health stigma within hospitality.
Falcon's support for the Invisible Chips campaign started on April 12th, as lockdown easing continued and hospitality businesses started opening up in England. The company will carry on making donations for each fryer it sells until April 12th 2022. Portions of Invisible Chips are also available to buy directly from Falcon's website and online store.
For more information on the Invisible Chips campaign visit invisiblechips.org.uk
Falcon is the market-leading UK manufacturer of professional cooking equipment and is the UK distributor for Lainox combination ovens. The company combines a reputation for performance, reliability and innovation with a history going back over 200 years. Today Falcon supplies foodservice operators throughout the catering industry, exporting around the globe. Its comprehensive product portfolio is backed by award-winning customer support.

When Is a Car Accident or Traffic Violation Removed From My Record?
Auto insurance companies look at your driving record to decide how likely you are to file a claim. If your record is riddled with traffic violations and car accidents, then they know that statistically there is a good chance that they will end up having to pay out money on your behalf. As a result, if your driving record is less than perfect, you pay more for auto insurance.
We have all had our lapses in judgment — driving too fast when we are running late for work, letting a distraction cause us to rear-end the driver in front of us or speeding through an intersection when a yellow light turns red. Unfortunately, these can stay on our record for years, resulting in high monthly premiums.
Call For FREE Help (702) 898-0554
How Long Do Accidents or Traffic Violations Affect Your Driving Record?
The amount of time that traffic violations and car accidents stay on your record depends on the state you live in. Nationwide, a speeding ticket stays on your record for three years on average; in some states, tickets fall off in a year and others, they stay on for six years.
In Nevada, the Department of Motor Vehicles uses a demerit point system. Traffic violations are assigned a point value. For example, following a vehicle too closely is four points, reckless driving is eight points and failing to dim your headlights is two points. Accumulating a certain number of points may cause your license to be suspended for six months. Points only stay on your record for 12 months, meaning that after a year, traffic violations no longer affect your auto insurance premium.
Car accidents stay on your record for longer. Again, this varies widely by state. In Nevada, most crashes stay on your record for three years, though a serious crash that results in a conviction stays on your record for 10 years.
Do You Have to Report Accidents or Speeding Tickets to Your Insurance Company?
If a car accident is very minor and results in no injuries or property damage, then you may choose to not file a claim and risk higher premiums in the future. However, it is important to note that in Nevada, failing to give information or render aid at the scene of an accident can get you six demerit points.
Even if you do not report a traffic violation to your auto insurance company, this is information that they have easy access to. While your premium will not increase mid-contract, you can expect it to increase when you renew your policy.
How Nevada Insurance Enrollment Can Keep Your Auto Insurance Rate Affordable
Obviously, the best way to enjoy affordable auto insurance is to follow traffic rules and avoid risky behavior that may result in an accident. However, even if your driving record is not perfect, an auto insurance agent can help you compare policies and discounts and find the right coverage at an affordable price.

So I’ve spent three days at the cottage so far and it’s working out really well — I’ve been able to focus to the point of being able to work on 5-10 tracks a day! (not from scratch, mind you, but a bit of mixing, a bit of writing, etc.) It’s a very inspirational location, too; on a bay overlooking several small islands.
I’ve posted several new mixes of WIP tunes (Swagger, Exoplanet, The Letter V), completed a new Beardsley tune, made some progress on my EP for Ambra and my forthcoming chiptune EP. I also have some new stuff in the works that I’ll be sharing at a later date.
I’m taking a “day off” today to spend some time with my wife but will be headed back for another couple days tomorrow. There’s still a lot I’m hoping to get done but so far this has been a really positive experience and definitely something I plan to do again. To any artists out there who sometimes feel like they’re stagnating: I would strongly recommend doing something like this!
Here’s a lofi pic of my setup at the cottage. Better quality pics to come:
P.S. as you can see I’ve had to put the 32″ display to use, and naturally this has led me to hook up our 32″ to my home computer for some evening gaming 😉

Today was the first ever Dress to Be Your Best seminar in the Brighten Your Light seminar series. We doubled our turn out from the first seminar and for that I am so, so grateful. Maria Cella did a fantastic job teaching us tips on how to dress our best and not fight with our bodies. Accepting what we have to work with and knowing how to look our best can only help us to move forward in a positive way.
Today I felt so blessed to be sitting in the space that I had dreamed up all on my very own. I got to look around the room and see these strong, smart, funny, brave women and know that what we are building is more than just a network. I don’t have a word for it, I am thinking more like kinship or fellowship. I don’t want to be overly dramatic or anything, but I chose to speak a lot about remembering our perfection. I can say for myself this is a new experience. To be seated around a table talking about how we are all just how we were meant to be, is not something I have done before. It is so powerful for me when I think of all the harsh judgments I make about myself in so many areas of my life. I know the respect and admiration I felt looking at all the women today is what I need to remember most about myself. I am blessed to have been just where I needed to be with just the right people around me.

Last month, things between “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” stars Waka Flocka and his wife, Tammy Rivera, seemed to be over for good when Rivera abruptly revealed that she’d broken up with Waka. However, after a high-profile public apology from Waka, it looks like the couple worked things out and they recently explained why they decided to reconcile.
As previously reported, the drama all started in June when Rivera posted on Instagram about the breakup from Waka.
“Me and Waka [sic] separation had nothing to do with ANYONE! Waka did not leave me for ANYONE lol,” Rivera wrote. “We made a mutual decision that we needed to separate, Sometime ppl use other people’s lives to prey off and get attention, I guess for IG likes or followers.”
However, rumors were flying that the reason for the split is that Waka cheated on Rivera and he eventually went on Instagram and owned up to his infidelity and apologized to his wife of two years for cheating on her.
“#myrideordie #Facetime #SleepyHead lol She the realist!!! Her strength carried my family!!! Her faith!! Her prayer!!! She always say I have a choice!!!! She showed me the streets ain’t s— and I’m somebody these young n—as look up 2!!!! I’m sorry I embarrassed her!!!! She literally know [sic] everything and still opened her arms 4me #DefinitionOfArider,” Waka wrote.
According to media reports, Rivera and Waka recently sat down for a new interview and Rivera explained that they’re back together and “working” on their marriage. And despite the rumors, Rivera explained that she didn’t catch Waka cheating online.
“The stuff he got caught with wasn’t even in the public,” Rivera says. “Those girls are really faking.”
Waka also spoke about their breakup and shared that his “ego” was the problem and that he was cheating on Rivera to try to impress his friends. However, he explained that after the split he realized how important Rivera was to him and he shared why he decided to publicly apologize to Rivera and save his marriage.
“Honestly, it wasn’t for no [sic] public thing. She just wasn’t answering my calls,” Waka admitted. “Honest to God truth is I want a family, you know what I’m saying? I want the real love. Especially me being ‘Waka Flocka’ it ain’t real around me, you know what I’m saying? It’s kinda too real. I can’t become a man because that little boy is still just lurkin’ around, you feel me?”
Well, we’re happy that Rivera and Waka worked things out. What do you think of them getting back together? Let us know in the comments.

I have been diagnosed with hypertension and have been prescribed Benicar. I am responding will but have noticed and intresting trend. While my blood pressure is in the 110s/70s, my resting pulse falls in the 60s. If my blood pressure dips to 90s/60s my resting pulse goes to somewhere in the mid-80s. Is there a correlation and is this something I should bring to my family doctor's attention?

The British Cycling registered Polocini Winter Sprinter sportive is an early season hidden gem in the heart of Cheshire, which prides itself on good times, good food and a human-sized, community feel.
“Have fun, stay safe, eat lots of food and talk cycling” was the central message in organiser Allen Bridge’s pre-ride briefing, conducted, ‘Braveheart style’ from the gateway of Woodford Community Centre, the HQ for the Winter Sprinter, ideally situated on the edge of the Cheshire plain and the foothills of the Peak District.
With temperatures hovering just above freezing, riders were wrapped up warm in hats, gloves, tights and winter jackets. However, the welcome was warm and personal, with Allen welcoming each and every rider into the sign-on area; it was clear that for many, it was their second or third time at the event.
Polocini is the brand-name of a number of cycling related businesses run by the affable Mr Bridge and his partner, introduced to me as ‘Mrs Polocini’. Allen runs a thriving new coffee shop in Romiley near Stockport, catering the cycling fraternity’s unquenchable desire for good coffee and good cake. Allen also founded the Polocini Test Team, an online ‘collective’ of riders who arrange their cycling through social media – a virtual cycling club with all the heart and soul of the old school clubroom.
This sense of camaraderie was clear throughout the ride, which left Woodford and headed east through the swanky commuter towns of Alderley Edge and Knutsford before looping around Tatton Park on quiet, narrow, typically ‘Cheshire’ roads.
The route then turned back towards Alderley Edge to tackle Swiss Hill, a famous local cobbled ramp straight out of Flanders – around a mile of steep, slippery, uneven Kapelmuur-like pave that was the pre-ride nemesis of everyone I spoke to along the way.
With Swiss Hill dispatched, the ride made another loop on the idyllic single-track lanes around Chelford, with the feed stop in a quaint black and white village hall; Staffed by friends and family of the Bridges, and two helpers from local club Glossop Kinder Velo, there was a bounty of bananas, cakes, flapjacks and savouries to replenish the energy reserves, washed down with Torq energy drink. Suitably topped up, riders tackled the final loop east towards Macclesfield and Bollington, skirting the western edge of the Peaks through Pott Shrigley before swinging west and heading back to Woodford for the finish.
Just like at the start, there was a warm welcome from Allen Bridge, who personally congratulated every rider who returned, before they helped themselves to a warming, spicy biryani, cooked up by Masterchef finalist cooks The Hungry Gecko.
A further clue to the friendly nature engendered by Allen and his team was the post ride atmosphere. There was none of the ‘get your goody bag and go impersonality’ here, riders stayed on and chatted, drank coffee and helped polish off the mountain of cake that Polocini had ordered in, ‘just in case.’
VERDICT – a winter warmer to kick start your sportive season, with a pitch perfect route and great rider support. If you’re looking for a North West sportive to ease you into the next sportive season, look no further.
|WHAT YOU THOUGHT
“I do the majority of the Polocini sportives ‘cos I think they’re really good. Well organised and the food in amazing! It’s what you need. It’s always a good start to the year because it’s not too hilly. It’s good just to get your legs spinning.”
James from Manchester
“I did the Horwich 50 last year and really enjoyed it and I like what Allen’s doing with the clothing and the internet based club. The cake thing appeals to me as well. I do enjoy the social side. I got all the way up Swiss Hill so well chuffed about that.”
Mick from Ormskirk
“Since my heart surgery this has been a goal. This was my milestone; I had to complete this today. It’s such a good atmosphere – it’s one of the best. It’s a small sportive, you’re not queuing up for an hour and as a paying customer that’s what you want. This is what cycling’s all about.”
John from Hadfield
“I’m in the Polocini Test Team. It’s a virtual club and that’s how it got me into cycling. They’re great guys, the encouragement you get from them, the banter you get on Twitter. It’s a great experience. To do 60 miles at the end of February for me is quite an achievement. It’s about riding with like minded people and having a great time.”
Dave from Wilmslow

The Baltimore Ravens are facing a number of injuries on their own front as the head into the regular season. But their Week 1 opponent, the Cincinnati Bengals, look like they could have a few big names out for a different reason. Linebacker Vontaze Burfict is facing a five-game suspension for an illegal hit this preseason.
Burfict’s hit came against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2 of the preseason in which he lowered the boom against fullback Anthony Sherman. In the clip below, you can see Burfict (No. 55) drill Sherman as the ball is in the air deep down the field.
Though Burfict is already entering the appeal process, according to Shefter, the Bengals square off against the Ravens in the very first game. Even a reduction in the number of games Burfict has to serve will see him missing the game against Baltimore.
Burfict isn’t the only player that will be out thanks to a suspension. Cornerback Adam Jones was suspended for the first game of the season after an allegedly violent confrontation with a security guard outside of a club. It ended with his arrest and further allegations that Jones spit on a jail nurse.
While you’d always like to see the teams playing at full strength, Cincinnati’s collapse via suspensions could be a blessing for a Ravens team that can’t seem to catch a break with their health.

I never drink enough water which means I am probably dehydrated most of the time.
I buy fancy water bottles in the hope that they will encourage me to drink, but they usually end up in the cupboard after a month or two.
Then I discovered something so clever that I had to hunt one down to try it out for myself.
The Memobottle is a slimline reusable bottle which is flat…yep, flat…like a notebook.
Which means you can slip it into your bag without it taking up room like a conventional round bottle does.
It was designed by two Melbournites…Jesse Leeworthy and Jonathan Byrat who grew up together in a small coast town south of the city.
As kids, they noticed an increasing number of plastic water bottles being washed ashore at local beaches and water ways, so wanted to create something to help reduce this environmental impact.
According to their website, more that 50 billion single use bottles were sold globally last year…and many of them will end up discarded.
As a result, the Memobottle was born.
And before you ask, yes, it is made of plastic, but due to the huge amount of energy required to make aluminum and stainless steel, reusable plastic bottles are actually 80% more environmentally friendly then their counterparts!
The Memobottle comes in two sizes…the large A5 size which holds 750ml and is ideal for travelling and can slip into your computer bag for your office commute.
The petite A6 Memobottle holds 375ml and can slip into your pocket or handbag….this is the one I got as I wanted something that will fit into my camera bag.
I love the packaging…it is so light it felt like there was nothing inside!
One of my concerns is that the bottle will leak when in my bag, but the designers assure that it is totally leak proof…and it has so far been fine…not a drop spilled!
Granted, you don’t get as much liquid into this size Memobottle as the larger size…or a conventional drink bottle, but I find I am drinking more as I am able to fill it up when required.
It is so handy while out and about, especially in the heat and humidity like we are at the moment….it means I can always have water with me as it will slip into my small camera bag.
I have to admit, I love the quirky design…the alternative take on something which has always been round…but one drawback is it won’t fit into your car’s cup holders.
But I can live with that because I much rather something I can easily carry in my bag…which will hopefully encourage me to drink more!
And I can report that the Memobottle has been hitting the bright lights with it being included in the Oscars showbags… I am guessing that there now will be a quite a few celebrities with one of these slipped into their designer bags.
So flat is definitely the new round…get onto it!
Please note: this is not a sponsored post! My opinions are, as always, totally my own!

Is getting a Costco membership worth it? I share how you can maximize your discounts with Costco and come out ahead with your money!
Warehouse club memberships are usually presented as a frugal choice for everyone. Joining Costco, Sam’s
Can you save money with it? Can everyone find it worthwhile for their budget?
Is Costco Really Worth The Cost?
I decided to share my take on our Costco membership and how it has worked out for us. Maybe it can help you to decide if a warehouse club is the right choice for you.
Types of Membership
One of the first things you have to decide with Costco is the which membership you want to sign up for.
Being a member of Costco is a bit more expensive than other clubs.
The upfront cost is just one factor in deciding what to get.
It’s more important to look at the overall value of what you’re getting.
- Gold Star Member ship ($60/year)
- Business Membership ($60/year)
- Executive Gold Star Membership ($120/year)
Each one has its pros and cons. We definitely didn’t fit into the business membership, so we were left to choose either the basic Gold Star or the Executive Gold Star.
We decided to sign up for the Executive membership to take advantage of the cash back option.
After the first year, we saved enough that it paid for itself several times over.
Gas Savings: Money Back in Our Wallets
Costco’s gasoline has been considerably cents cheaper per gallon than other gas stations on my side of town. I’ve noticed a difference of 10-15 cents, which is a nice bit of savings.
Whenever I’m right by Costco, I try to fill up. Not only am I getting a discount on my gasoline, but I’m also earning 2% with our Executive Membership.
Shopping Deals at C
As many people are aware, you can get some great deals shopping at Costco.
When looking at flat screen TVs, my husband was able to get one much cheaper than the next choice.
If you’re looking for good warranties, Costco has some of the best. Unlike some retailers, they have a generous return policy.
Costco’s pharmacy offer some wonderful deals on prescriptions. You may also want to check if there is an optometrist at your local store. Take advantage of any deals they have.
Even though they typically have lower prices for great quality products and items, you should still price check.
Saving Money From Costco Member Deals
There are added benefits to Costco membership including discounts on certain services.
Car Insurance – We’ve managed to cut our insurance bill by switching to Amerprise through Costco. Our bill used to be almost $120/month and now it’s $80/month for more coverage.
Towing/ Roadside Assistance – Executive members have towing and assistance included for free with their insurance policy.
Some other deals Costco offers that we haven’t taken advantage of are:
- Event Tickets
- Sharebuilder Bonus
- Travel Deals
Getting a Costco Membership at a Discount
If you can, try getting a discount on your membership fee. Believe it or not, you can lower the cost to yourself.
- Professional Associations: You may be able to get a lower membership fee if you’re a part of an association.
- Web Deals – Survey sites, like MyPoints, can sometimes
- Costco Direct Deals: If you check on the web, you can sometimes find a deal on their memberships.
If you have any other ways to get a discount, please leave a tip in the comments.
Thoughts on Saving with a Warehouse Club Membership
I shared my experience, I’d love to hear your take on warehouse clubs.
Have you been able to recoup your membership costs? Is your warehouse club a great deal for you?

What has already been communicated by the media, has now been officially announced by the FOM. The Grand Prix of Belgium will remain for the Formula 1 September 2018 Calendar USA after this year. The agreement between the Walloon government and the Formula 1 management has been extended to 2021. Both parties are happy with the extension in an official statement. (Photo: Red Bull Content Pool). After the previous reports it is now official, the GP of Belgium and the circuit of Spa-Francorchamps are at least until 2021 on the F1-calendar. The current contract between the organizers of the GP of Belgium and Formula 1 ended at the end of this season. So there had to be sat around the table again with the bosses of Formula 1. In contrast to the past few years, it was not time to negotiate with Bernie Ecclestone but with Liberty Media, the new owner of Formula One.
September 2018 Calendar USA
The charter was drawn up during a meeting in Ireland. According to ITF and its European leg ETF, there was a representation for the stewards and stewardesses of 80 percent of the Ryanair bases in Europe and of the entire ground staff. The Irish low-cost airline announced at the end of last year that it was going to recognize trade unions. That has happened in some countries, but according to the unions it is not fast enough. Moreover, the recognitions have not yet led to collective agreements with better pay and employment conditions, it sounds. Tuesday the Ryanair pilots announced in Ireland that they will strike on July 12. Ryanair itself already warned before a hot summer.
September Calendar USA
The Grand Prix of Belgium at Spa-Francorchamps will also remain on the Formula 1 calendar for the next three years. The Belgian newspaper L’Echo reports that there is an agreement about a contract that will apply until 2021. Because of the high costs it was long uncertain whether Spa would remain on the F1 calendar. For the Grand Prix of this year, from 24 to 26 August, 200,000 tickets have already been sold, of which 75,000 for the racing day.
September 2018 Calendar USA Printable
In 2019 there will be 21 (!) Grands Prix on the calendar. The Grand Prix of Japan, on the track Suzuka is still uncertain. On the other hand, it is likely that a Grand Prix of Miami will be organized. Since Assen and Zandvoort are busy researching a possible Grand Prix of the Netherlands, rumors pop up that this would be impossible due to a ‘Benelux clause’. In the old contract with the organization of Formula 1, Spa would have an exclusivity clause for a Grand Prix in the Benelux. However, that has never been confirmed and it also seems to be questionable whether this would continue to exist under the new management of Liberty Media.
The stewardesses, stewards and ground staff of low-cost airline Ryanair have drawn up a common set of requirements for better pay and working conditions. If the management does not meet this, actions will follow. September 2018 Calendar USA threatens to become an action month for our country. The “Ryanair Crew Charter” lists the issues that Ryanair needs to change “in order to be in line with similar employers”, that’s how it sounds. The requirements include pay, safety, schedules and the right to pay in case of illness. Another requirement is that the contracts “explicitly recognize the national legislation and jurisdiction of the country in which the employee is based”, it says.

1982 Shadow ~ Author Marcia Brown ~ Third Edition ~ Near Mint Condition.
This a fantastic, never read (or very minimally read), softcover copy of Shadow, a book translated and illustrated by Marcia Brown from the French of Blaise Cenrars.
This book was written in 1982 and this copy appears to be the third printing but I can't determine the copyright reprint date.
Ms. Brown was awarded The Caldecott Medal for this book in 1983 (and has won the same award for 2 earlier books). She was also awarded the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award in 1992, for her contributions to children's literature.
"What is Shadow? It comes out at night to prowl and mingle with the dancers, yet Shadow gets torn time and time again, sprawling full length on the ground each time. Is it magic? Is it dangerous? What is Shadow?"
Absolutey AMAZING illustrations bring life to this delightful story. It is no wonder why this book is still in print after almost 20 years.
Many thanks to our valuable customers for helping us celebrate our 5th year.
Dance in the dark at Black Widow Vintiques, our other RL shop. We welcome all reasonable offers & layaway is available.

LOS ANGELES - Microsoft on Wednesday unveiled a beta version of Silverlight 4, which will focus on media, business applications, and working "behind the browser."
Features include access to webcams and microphones, multi-cast streaming, output protection, and offline DRM support.
Silverlight 4 will tackle processor-intensive tasks at almost twice the rate of its predecessor, and will provide 30 percent faster startup, Scott Guthrie, corporate vice president of Microsoft's developer division, said at the company's Professional Developer Conference in Los Angeles.
The beta is now available, and the final release is scheduled for the first half of next year.
Guthrie touted Silverlight's high-profile users, including the Victoria's Secret fashion show, the Winter Olympics, as well as Bloomberg terminals, and National Instruments' LabView environment. Silverlight technology is now deployed on 45 percent of the world's Internet devices, up from 33 percet this summer, he said.
During a demo of the updated Silverlight, Guthrie displayed an application that used the webcam and microphone, used video effects, included a link to Twitter, and had a way to publish the video.
He also showed off IIS Smooth streaming, including a special setting that enables streaming optimized for an iPhone. This lets a developer encode the video only once but target all sorts of clients. The iPhone demo didn't work properly, but that's the problem with on- stage demos. A working one is available at iis.net/iphone.
Guthrie mentioned a variety of other features for developers including implicit styles, drag and drop, and HTML controls for things like text and data grids. He also showed a Flash video running within Silverlight that also used various HTML controls on top of that.
Other changes include the ability to compile assembly code once and use it across both Silverlight and the .NET 4 framework. Silverlight 4 will also work with the upcoming Visual Studio 2010. Users will also be able to create "trusted applications" that work outside the "sandbox" with features such as support for the local file system and access to the local hardware.
Samad Wahedi of SnapFlow showed how he built a business logic application into the company's workflow project using Silverlight.
Brian Goldfarb of Microsoft, meanwhile, showed a Silverlight application that builds on top of Facebook to look at feeds and photos in multiple different views and connect these things to Office applications. It could display YouTube videos linked from Facebook within the application, flip through photos at an accelerated pace, as well as drap and drop photos from the desktop into the application for uploading to the service.

Wife Beater Feels The Wrath Of Karma With Dose Of Street Justice (Video)
Most people will vouch that karma exists, but rarely does anyone get to see it play out so quickly. One man in Jiangsu, China learned about the power of karma the hard way, when he got what was coming to him after beating his wife in public.
In a video originally posted to 56.com, an unidentified man is seen slapping, punching and kicking a woman, reportedly his wife, in the middle of a street. At one point, a bystander tries to help but is shoved away by the wifebeater, who continues brutally beating the woman. At one point, he pushes her upper body into a pickup truck so hard that she collapses on the ground from the force.
The man continues to berate and yell at the woman on the ground before finally pulling her up to her feet, seemingly ending his barbaric act. Almost immediately, though, he begins to yell at someone off-screen before a hoard of locals appears out of nowhere to — what else? — serve the shameless wifebeater a dose of his own medicine. At least 20 people show up in the name of karma to show this guy that like everything else in life, you’ve always got yours coming.
That’s Karma-1, Wifebeater-0.

WASHINGTON — An American missile strike in Somalia apparently killed a militant long identified as one of Al Qaeda’s top operatives in East Africa on Thursday, but while Bush administration officials claimed success they also acknowledged facing an uphill battle to score lasting blows in their final months against the terrorist group around the world.
Political resistance from the new government in Pakistan, restrictions on pursuing militants across Afghanistan’s borders and the possibility of popular resentment in Somalia driving new recruits to militant Islam are the kinds of hurdles administration officials said could be left to the next president.
American officials portrayed the attack on the operative, Aden Hashi Ayro, as a product of intensified intelligence gathering in which they tracked him for weeks and made use of the free rein granted to the Pentagon in carrying out attacks in Somalia’s largely ungoverned spaces. Thursday’s attack was arguably the most successful American strike against Islamic militants outside of Iraq, Afghanistan or Pakistan since a deadly strike in Yemen in 2002, reflecting broader American concerns about terrorist havens in Africa.
Mr. Ayro was one of the most feared and notorious figures in Somalia, a short, wispy man believed to be in his 30s who had gone from lowly car washer to a top terrorist suspect blamed for a string of atrocities, including killing a BBC journalist, desecrating an Italian graveyard and planning suicide attacks all across Somalia. He was a military commander for the Shabab, an Islamist militia, which the American government recently classified as a terrorist group, saying it was linked to Al Qaeda.
The United States has failed to contain Al Qaeda in places like Pakistan and Afghanistan, and struggles even in Somalia, where the government gave the green light 16 months ago for American strikes on militants there.Continue reading the main story
But American attacks on terrorism suspects in the region have proved unreliable before, and human rights organizations have upbraided the United States for launching airstrikes in Somalia in the past year that ended up wounding or killing civilians.
Still, some administration officials said they wanted to make a mark on the issue in the waning months of the Bush presidency, pointing to Al Qaeda’s resurgence in the tribal areas of Pakistan; the rising number of cross-border attacks from Pakistan into Afghanistan; and evidence that Al Qaeda and its offshoots are seeking to establish surer footholds in the Horn of Africa and other parts of the continent.
In January, American officials reached a quiet understanding with President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan to intensify strikes by pilotless aircraft against suspected terrorists. A few weeks later Abu Laith al-Libi, a senior Qaeda leader, was killed in a missile attack in the tribal areas.
Now administration officials contend that Pakistan’s new government may throw a wrench into their more aggressive strategy to hunt Al Qaeda and the Taliban by negotiating with the militants. “We’re growing impatient,” said one administration official who was not authorized to speak publicly. Even within Somalia, there was debate over whether Mr. Ayro’s death would be a turning point toward peace or fuel for more resistance.
Government officials have been trying to strike a truce with more moderate elements of Somalia’s Islamist movement and argued that with a violent leader like Mr. Ayro gone, moderates would be more receptive.
“This will definitely weaken the Shabab,” said Mohamed Aden, consul for Somalia’s embassy in Nairobi, Kenya. “This will help with reconciliation. You can’t imagine how many Somalis are saying, ‘Yes, this is the one.’ The reaction is so good.”
But while many Somalis disagreed with Mr. Ayro’s tactics, he was also perceived as a freedom fighter resisting an unpopular government backed by outsiders, including Ethiopia and the United States. Several Somalia scholars said Mr. Ayro’s killing could lead to a dangerous blowback for Americans in East Africa, a region that had already been hit by several Qaeda attacks.
“This will become a major recruiting tool,” said one American official not authorized to speak publicly. “These guys will now feel the Americans are their enemy and you’re going to see more attacks against Americans in the region and more foreign fighters flooding in.”
Maj. Sherri Reed, a spokeswoman for the United States Central Command in Tampa, Fla., said the military had attacked “a known Al Qaeda target” in the central Somali town of Dusa Marreb on Thursday, without giving more details of the predawn strike. She said there was no evidence to suggest that any civilians had been wounded or killed.
An American military official in Washington, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the operation, said at least four Tomahawk cruise missiles fired from a Navy ship or submarine off the Somali coast had slammed into a small compound of single-story buildings in Dusa Marreb, a well-known hide-out for Mr. Ayro and his associates. The military official and two American intelligence officials said all indications were that Mr. Ayro was killed, along with several top lieutenants, but the attack was still being assessed.
“This was in the works for some time,” said the official. He said American intelligence agents had been tracking Mr. Ayro for weeks through a combination of communications intercepts, satellite imagery and other intelligence.
Around 3 a.m. Thursday, residents of Dusa Marreb were jolted out of bed by several large explosions. According to witnesses and a spokesman for the Shabab, more than 10 people were killed, including Mr. Ayro, Mr. Ayro’s brother and several other high-ranking Shabab commanders.
Some witnesses said that as many as 30 people were dead and that residents were counting skulls to determine the number.
“Infidel planes bombed Dusa Marreb,” a Shabab spokesman, Mukhtar Ali Robow, told Reuters. “Two of our important people, including Ayro, were killed.”
The American official said: “For the Horn of Africa, this is pretty significant. He’s certainly considered a leader in Al Qaeda’s effort there. This can be chalked up as a success.”
Dusa Marreb is a stronghold of the Ayr clan, which Mr. Ayro belonged to. In recent weeks, residents said, Islamist fighters had moved in, part of their strategy to wrest back control from the Transitional Federal Government, which officially leads Somalia but wields little power.
In 2006 Mr. Ayro was a militia commander in an Islamist movement that briefly ruled Somalia. That rule ended that December when Ethiopian troops, backed by American intelligence and air power, ousted the Islamists.
Since then, American forces have launched several airstrikes inside Somalia, including one in January 2007 that was thought to have wounded Mr. Ayro. American officials have accused Mr. Ayro of protecting wanted Qaeda members, including some of the men thought to have planned the bombings of the American Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998.
The details of Mr. Ayro’s life story are few. According to Somali intelligence agents, he dropped out of school at a young age to wash cars and join one of the street-gang-type militias that were fighting for control of Somalia in the early 1990s after the central government collapsed.
He became friends with a leader of his clan, Hassan Dahir Aweys, who arranged for him to go to Afghanistan to fight with the Taliban against American forces in 2001. He then returned to Mogadishu and trained fellow fighters in explosives, according to the International Crisis Group, a research organization that specializes in analyzing conflicts.
In January 2005 Mr. Ayro desecrated the graves of dozens of Italians who had been buried in Mogadishu decades ago, when Somalia was an Italian colony. He was essentially disowned by his clan after that. But his militant activities only increased, and in February 2005 he was blamed for killing a BBC news producer outside her hotel in Mogadishu.
In Dusa Marreb, clan elders rejected Mr. Ayro, said Mohammed Uluso, a leader of the Ayr clan, because the elders “didn’t want to mix up their legitimate goals with something suspicious.” That might have been part of Mr. Ayro’s undoing, because Somali officials said that people in Dusa Marreb provided American forces with up-to-the-minute intelligence on his movements.
Mr. Uluso said the Shabab would continue to be a potent resistance force because many young Somalis saw the group as a “heroic cause” in terms of standing up to the Americans. (Shabab is the Arabic word for youth.)
“The Shabab won’t just disappear,” Mr. Uluso said. “But now that the hunt for Ayro is over, at least people will get their freedom back. So many people were hurt and oppressed in the effort to get him.”Continue reading the main story

8 March, 2017
This weekend the entire Wilson clan is hitting the road and looking for a change of scenery, making the 1,000km round trip to the Sunshine Coast for some swim/ride/run and family fun at the Mooloolaba Triathlon Festival (9-11 March).
If you hail from Goondiwindi it is hard not to be involved in triathlon, as the iconic border town on the Macintyre River is heavily into its multisport and the home of the iconic long course event the Hell of the West.
The Wilson’s involvement in triathlon goes back to 2004 when parents Angus and Sandie first joined with the Goodiwindi Triathlon Club and since then the sport has become an integral part of their family life.
“Sandie and I have always enjoyed sport, being fit, along with socializing in the community, so when triathlons started up in Goondiwindi this seemed a logical activity to get involved in.”
“We have always been an athletic family, participating in rugby, rowing, touch, squash, water skiing, snow-skiing and many more sports and we have been doing mini-tris (300m swim, 12km ride and 2.5 km run) in town on Sunday mornings since the club’s beginning.”
“Callum, Bianca and Dodie started participating in these mini-tris when they were home for school holidays. Since being out of school, Bianca has done a couple of Olympic distance triathlons, Callum a single one, however Mooloolaba is Dodie’s first time over this distance.”
“The family has also been involved with Goondiwindi’s Hell of the West for several years, volunteering as well as competing. This year Bianca completed the individual, while Dodie did the swim, and Sandie, Callum and myself completed the bike leg.”
“Sandie and I are usually compete in local triathlon events, including ‘Torture on the Border’ at Texas, ‘Battle on the Balonne’ in St George, and this year we are heading to the coast for the Coffs Harbour and of course to the Mooloolaba triathlon.”
“This year we are motivated to do Mooloolaba Triathlon to maintain fitness, enjoy the family challenge, and for the kids to embrace a friendly rivalry. We are driven to be a close knit family after our daughter Paris was killed in a boating accident in 2011. Triathlons have encouraged us to develop strength and perseverance, not only physically, but emotionally,” Angus said.
The family has always done pool swims, group rides and park runs together when they are all home but with the ‘kids’ all grown up and with lives of their own, group training is not always easy to co-ordinate as it once was.
The Mooloolaba Triathlon is a definite family favourite with Sandie and Angus having participated in either individual or team for the past eight years, Bianca and Callum competing six times, and Dodie three times.
“Dodie has returned to university to complete her studies, Callum works away on our farm, and Bianca is a full time teacher coordinating sport at her school and because we have many other commitments, the training for Mooloolaba has not been as consistent as we would have liked.”“Sandie and I are certainly not competitive, just to finish an Olympic distance triathlon is our triumph. But despite the restrictions to training, Callum and Bianca have been training hard individually, to be the ’better’ sibling. As the older brother Callum would like to think he can beat his sister, but ‘Times’ will tell,” Angus said.

More than one million violent crimes occur every year in the United States.
Does this stat enrage you? Do you feel like you can do something to make America a safer place? Are you passionate about safety and security?
If you answered yes to these questions, you could be a good fit for employment as an armed security guard.
Like most jobs, however, there are training and licensing requirements you must meet in order to qualify for employment.
Read to learn what it takes?
Here is a complete guide on how to become an armed security guard.
What Does an Armed Security Guard Do?
The first thing to do when you want to join this career is to gain an in-depth understanding of the job of an armed security guard. You don’t want to complete all the necessary steps and get hired only to find you were never really cut out for the job.
For starters, the job of an armed security guard is potentially dangerous.
Whether you’re protecting a person or a physical property or providing security at an event, the risk of an attack is always there. You’ve to live with the fact that your life is at stake.
Even though the specific roles of a security guard vary from workplace to workplace, a typical day involves the following activities:
- Manning entrances and exits at the worksite
- Preventing unlawful entry and enforcing the employer’s security policies
- Being on the lookout for suspicious or unusual activity at the assigned worksite
- Conducting patrols at the worksite on foot or using a provided security vehicle
- Responding to emergency situations such as fire, bomb threats, and break-ins at the worksite
- Accompanying clients on their travels
- Handling and maintaining security weapons, protective equipment, and restraint devices
- Reviewing security logs and preparing reports
The job of an armed security guard is physically demanding, and depending on your employer, your work hours can be unpredictable.
If your employer is a politician or celebrity, for instance, you’ll have to follow their daily schedules. This may mean reporting to work early in the morning and working late into their night.
However, security guards who work at fixed sites — like those manning buildings – have fairly fixed hours, and usually work in shifts.
Education and Training
A couple of years ago, the minimum educational requirement for aspiring armed security guards was a GED or a high school diploma. Applicants would then undergo extensive arms and on-the-job training and gradually ease into their roles.
These days, though, things are different. As physical security becomes more sophisticated, employers are starting to give more preference to job seekers with a specialized educational background.
As such, if you want to stand out from the crowd, pursue a certificate course in physical security. The program will equip you with the knowledge of building security, protection strategies, security surveillance, human protection, and much more.
After completing the course, take armed security guard training.
Perhaps you’re wondering, “Isn’t a certificate course enough? Why should I undergo more training?”
While a certificate course equips you with physical security knowledge, armed security guard training equips you with the firearm and protection kills.
You’ll learn how to carry, draw and fire your weapon from a range of positions. You’ll also gain the skills to deal with active shooter situations.
Before signing up for this training, consider where you’d like to work. It’s better to receive training that’s customized to your preferred work environment.
If your ideal worksite is a church, for example, signup with a training provider who offers a church security program. To get started, check out these unique services.
Nurture Important Occupation Qualities
In addition to the physical security knowledge and firearm skills, there are other important qualities you need to be a competent guard.
For example, you need to be a patient person. Security guards spend most of their work time in one spot or environment. If you’re not a patient person, you can easily get distracted or bored.
Another important quality is good judgment. Every day you’ll be faced with different situations, so you need good judgment to determine the right cause of action.
Strong communication skills are also vital. You must be able to communicate effectively with other guards on your team, as well as issue clear directions to during emergencies.
So as you pursue your education and firearms training, be sure to keep developing these qualities.
Get Licensed or Registered
The last step to becoming an armed security guard is to obtain a firearms license/permit and get registered by the relevant department in your state.
Licensing and registration requirements vary from state to state, but they’re generally as follows:
- Pass drug and criminal background checks
- Be an American citizen
- Be physically fit
- Be at least 18 years old
- Provide proof of armed security guard training or complete any addition state-specific training.
Hunt for a Job
After successfully obtaining a firearms license and getting registered as an armed security guard, it’s time to hunt for a job.
Your first option is to send an application to companies that offer armed security guard services. You’ll be hired as an employee, after which you’ll be deployed to a worksite.
If you don’t fancy formal employment, you can work as an independent contractor. You can set up a website and social media pages to market your freelance armed security services.
That’s How to Become an Armed Security Guard!
The job of an armed security guard has its risks, but it also has the potential to be richly rewarding. If you’re a gun lover and passionate about safety and security matters, this is a job you’ll enjoy.
What’s more, we have told you how to become an armed security guard. Just pursue a certificate course in physical security, complete armed security training and obtain the relevant occupational licenses. This shouldn’t take you more than a year.
And who knows, this job might prepare you for a career in the secret service.

The Council’s service for the collection of stray dogs is provided by private sector contractors: Pest Express Ltd. The stray dog collection service operates from 8am to 10pm, 7 days a week. If you find a stray dog outside of these hours , you will have to make arrangements for it until the dog warden is available. Only dogs that have been found straying within North Kesteven and are detained for collection by the dog warden will be collected.
Stray dogs that are collected will, where possible, be returned to their homes on the first occasion they are caught. If it isn’t possible to take them home (for example if the dog does not wear a tag or their chip details are out of date), or if they are repeatedly caught, they are taken to kennels where they await collection by their owners.
To collect a stray from the kennels, the owner will need to pay a collection fee of £25 plus the cost of kennelling for the days the dog has been accommodated (or part day thereof).
For information on dogs found in the district, see the Pest Express website.
For stray dogs out of office hours that are unable to be kept until the next working day, contact the Council’s out of hours service on either of the numbers given below. Note that only captive and restrained stray dogs will be collected and the Council will not be able to respond to reports of loose or roaming dogs.
Any issues of dangerous dogs or animals affecting the highway should be reported to the police.
If a lost dog is in the Council’s possession, owners can be assured the dog is safe and being well cared for. Arrangements for its return can be made during normal hours.
The National Pet Register will help with your search.
To report a stray dog, or to enquire whether your dog has been collected and taken to the kennels, contact us using the details below.

They call it the big switch; in 2009, American broadcasters will switch from analog to digital signals.
That means viewers using analog tv's with antennas will need converter boxes. Good news, though.
Starting January 1, 2008, you can contact the federal government for coupons to make sure
you can watch your favorite shows next year. The government will provide two coupons for the boxes, worth $40 each.

How to beat the increasingly rising apartment prices in Prague?
Like the infamous tiny studio apartments in space-starved metropolises like New York City, 1+kk flats – a single room with a kitchen corner – are now trending in the Czech capital.
Yes, with apartment prices in some areas of Prague up 50% year-on-year, the number of square meters per flat, and the number of smaller flats sold, are both on the upswing as 2018 comes to a close.
How small are they getting? Even tiny flats must meet legal standards: according to Czech law, a room needs to be a minimum of 16 meters squared to be considered a residential apartment. And now, real estate agencies are confirming sales of flats as small as the legal minimum.
“We had a sixteen square-meter apartment,” Lukáš Hloucal, marketing manager for Next Reality, told iDnes.cz. Others concur.
“We also mediated the sale of an older flat with an area of 19 square meters,” said Maxima Reality’s Goran Andonov.

From a development perspective, tiny flats mean additional costs: more bathrooms and shared facilities per building. But with the rising per-square-meter apartment prices in Prague, smaller living spaces are becoming an increasingly popular alternative for creative buyers.
“In the long term, the share of 1+kk flats among the total number of apartments sold is around 20%,” Central Group spokesperson Marcela Fialk told iDnes.cz.
“[But] in the last six months, the share has grown slightly to 24 percent.”
Those statements are backed up by data provided by real estate agency Trigema: in the third quarter of 2017, 16.7% of apartments sold in Prague were of the 1+kk variety, but that number is up to 24.4% in the same period of 2018.
That means that next to a 2+kk, the 1+kk is now the most popular kind of flat in Prague.
And it isn’t only students and Prague singles who are seeking small apartments. Senior citizens aiming to have a small living space to maintain have also been increasingly interested in studio flats in Prague.
But flats in Prague are going to have to get even smaller if they really want to compete with the smallest New York City studio: a 100 square-foot (less than 10 square-meter) flat that this chef coughs up $1100 (25,000 CZK) for monthly.

Former UNC head coach Matt Doherty has recently found work as a college basketball analyst for ESPN. I didn't even realize he was doing work for the network until I heard him on the call for Kansas' upset loss to TCU earlier this season. This week he appeared on ESPNU's roundtable show "The Experts" and delivered a shot across the bow at Turner's star analyst – Charles Barkley. Although Doherty doesn't call out Barkley by name, he says it's "turrible" that someone who doesn't call regular season college basketball covers tournament games and says it disrespects the event…
"In my expert opinion, I'd like to see the network broadcasting the NCAA Tournament put on regular season college analysts to cover the games. I think it disrespects the event, it disrespects the players, I think it's a turrible decision that they've made."
It's not every day you see a basketball analyst call out another from a rival network so openly, especially someone who works for ESPN, whose business is making you think they're the only sports network that exists in the universe. Perhaps Doherty is merely "punching up" in this case, but it's a legitimate example of growing resistance within college basketball to Barkley's NCAA analysis. There's many folks around college basketball who would wholeheartedly agree with Doherty's assessment. There's not many who would say it on national television.
There's no disputing Chuck's brilliance and entertainment value as an NBA analyst, but some of the things he's said in this year's tournament have been particularly puzzling. His strange feud against the Big Ten came out of nowhere and his inability to provide in-depth perspective and analysis on the games and players hurts the broadcasts. For as much as Charles Barkley brings to the table, it may be time for CBS and Turner to rethink his role in their NCAA Tournament coverage.

Cutting steroids, also known as anabolic or anabolic-androgenic steroids, are often used as a bodybuilding supplement intended to reduce body fat and increase muscle definition. Although originally developed for medicinal purposes, such as an anemia treatment, steroids are commonly utilized by bodybuilders to both bulk and cut, or to increase muscle mass and define lean muscle. Common steroids include Winstrol®, Anavar™, and Primobolan.
The bulking and cutting effect comes from the synthetic hormones in cutting steroids, which perform the same functions as the male hormones testosterone and dihydrotestosterone. These substances stimulate protein production and cellular tissue growth. This causes rapid muscle growth, increases physical strength, and raises endurance, while boosting the metabolism to improve fat-burning capabilities. Steroid use is not uncommon among competitive bodybuilders seeking to bulk up prior to a show, although their use is often monitored, regulated, or forbidden by various competitive venues or organizations.
Cutting steroids can be used a number of ways. Some are contained within a fluid suspension and injected directly into muscle tissue. Others are ingested orally. Still others can be applied as a topical ointment, spray, or patch, although some people debate the effectiveness of skin absorption. Many pill-based bodybuilding supplements claim to offer healthy, non-regulated, herbal alternatives to steroids.
Other than muscle growth, side effects of cutting steroids can include increased sexual function and various traits of masculinization, such as greater body hair density, changes in voice depth, and acne conditions similar to those caused by hormone increases at the onset of puberty. The masculinizing effects occur in both men and women, with variations in expression based on both gender and age.
Men may suffer from testicle shrinking, low sperm count, gynecomastia, infertility, and baldness. Women may grow facial hair, notice fluctuations in their menstrual cycles, and take on more masculine physical characteristics. Young steroid users may undergo rapid-onset effects of puberty, depending on age and physical maturation. When taken prior to adulthood, steroids may also cause anomalies in physical development, including exaggerated proportions, shortened limbs, permanent skin damage, or sexual dysfunction. Many such effects are non-reversible.
Long-term health risks include increased cholesterol levels, liver damage or liver tumors, water retention, high blood pressure, and heart problems. Use of cutting steroids can also affect behavior over time. Some steroid users have reported increases in aggression, more commonly known as roid rage. More extreme effects can include hallucinations or disconnections from reality. Due to these risks, many countries ban or strictly regulate use of steroids for anything other than medical purposes.

What constitutes a good flooring? It is important that your floor at home looks good, and brings out the homely ambience of the house. However, it is also important to have a floor with properties that are good and will make your life at home easier too.
The most important property a good flooring should have, is to be waterproof. Water and liquids are used often at home – in the kitchen, watering the plants, dinner time, and even just sitting down for a cup of coffee. If the flooring is not waterproof, water spills by kids or pets, will cause the floor to be damage overtime. A good waterproof flooring will not result in water seeping into the under layers of the floor and causing it to swell and bulge over time. It can also be used in the kitchen and the drier parts of the bathroom.

This will not only keep the quality and appearance of the floor at its best, it also means that the floor is cost efficient in the long run too.

after I set the grass
on fire as a child. A rude interruption to a spaghetti casserole
as the neighbor stopped by to tell us our yard was
My student fights fires in the summer. Turns in his papers
early to leave to fight the new burns.
When you live in a desert your fingers and hands turn
to dry sticks, mottled with the rage of the air
stealing humidity from your skin.
You guard your matches from use and children
or people who don’t know how to start a safe fire.
In Arizona the canyons burn
out the flames lick up and up and up to reach
the turquoise sky. Funneling up red rock tunnels, train of fire
wake of ash. Rock bruised by blaze trail cartography―
a bold map of soot.

There's just about nothing else I can think of apart from finding a girlfriend; my friends and family ask me questions like, "do you have a girlfriend yet?" or "did you get lucky yet?" to which I obviously respond "no."
The problem is that the media (primarily film and music, which I consume the most of) idealize what it is like to have a relationship and leave no other possibility nor alternative lifestyle -- and most of all, make those who have no relationship look sad or depraved.
Yes, one-to-one, intimate relationships that have the potential of growing, that are centered neither primarily around sex nor conversation, but rather, an equal and healthy balance of the two are brilliant (I'm just guessing). But is there really only one, singular route to happiness like human companionship?
If the adage, "The meaning of life is love" is true, then yes, probably. And if I want happiness (or in this sense, love), how do I get it without searching for it? I have been told by multiple friends "love will find you." But I hardly believe that. After 21 years on this planet, it seems love has skipped over me and went with all my friends and those around me. Maybe that means the one girl I do find will be exceptionally good because I've had to suffer this long?

Maryland has hired Damon Evans as AD:
From a previous Terptalk Post- Damon Evans: Like John Currie, Evans was in charge of one of the largest athletic departments in the SEC:
Evans has huge shoes to fill at Georgia as he succeed 25 year athletic director and former UGA national championship winning football coach Vince Dooley. Despite this Evans led the department to be the most profitable one in the country, with gross profit of 23.9 million dollars in 2005, UGA also had the second highest grossing football program in the country in 2007 (only behind Texas). The success came to a grinding halt in 2010 after Evans tried to bribe his way out of the arrest a DUI arrest. Evans was arrested for disorderly conduct following the incident. He resigned later that week.
In 2014 Evans was brought in by former Maryland AD Kevin Anderson to help run the department, after Anderson went on sabbatical last year Evans was promoted to Interim AD. Many, including us at Terptalk believe that he is the front runner for the position.
Evans has been considered the favorite for the position for a while, and we at Terptalk support this choice as a good decision. We believe that Damon has the proven skills to lead the department to new heights in terms of both off and on the field success.

Photos: Speak, Listen, Converse
by Beauchamp Art
For this short series, I have decided to toy with naivety and child-like reverence for technology by making a tin can telephone.
Photos of a basic telephonic device, made from two tins, a measure of string, and electrical tape to cover the sharp edges of the can, to prevent injury when held against the ear and/or mouth.
For the time being, I have just photographed the tin can telephone, however, I have plans to uses it in other ways, such as running it between two telephone boxes and having a conversation through it; as a suggestion by Nick Osborne, after I had set out plans to make calls between telephone boxes with mobile phones, highlighting their redundancy, but by the use of a primitive tool, such as this, to do something similar, a playful element can be incorporated into the piece.

Children, families and adult learning fund is looking for charities wanting to try new project ideas, beyond their core work
An extra £2 million is to be made available to charities supporting children, families and adult learning in Scotland.
The Children, Young People and Families Early Intervention and Adult Learning and Empowering Communities Fund will make an extra £1m available in 2017/18 and a further £1m available in 2018/19.
The extra cash is on top of the £14m announced last year to support over 100 organisations across Scotland.
The latest tranche of funding is designed to help charities to bid for funding that will allow them to try new project ideas beyond their core work, but still looking to tackle inequalities and poverty, support parents and carers, improve learning and build skills that help children, families and communities across Scotland.
Aileen Campbell, minister for children and young people, said: “Tackling inequalities is at the heart of this government’s ambition to create a fairer Scotland and charities and other third sector groups are crucial in achieving this.
We know ambition and innovation is alive and well in the voluntary sector
“We know ambition and innovation is alive and well in the voluntary sector. This new project fund will support activities or evidence-based approaches that can build on the good work they are doing so far. Funding is in place for the competition to launch in summer 2016.”
Quarriers Ruchazie Family Resource Centre in Glasgow was one of the organisations to benefit from the original funding announcement.
Alice Drife, Quarriers chief executive, said: “Quarriers supports people to turn their lives around and improve wellbeing, confidence and attainment. As a result, parents have greater capacity to create a nurturing environment for their children and cope with challenges affecting family life. Involving children and families in shaping the support they receive is a vital part of service improvement.
“Through Quarriers, this Early Years Grant will enable children and families to have more choice and control in life, to live independently in their local communities and to actively participate in decision-making about matters that affect them.”
The Children, Young People and Families Early Intervention and Adult Learning and Empowering Communities Fund replaced the Third Sector Early Intervention Fund and Strategic Funding Partnerships which ran from 2013 but ended this month.

Yep, that was pretty much the theme of my semi-non-productive weekend. And, while I only managed to work on the front yard, and my house is a bit of a mess, I think there's nothing wrong with that. For now at least - it caused a pain in my pocketbook and knee, but it was highly satisfying.
First off, there was the Police Officers' Memorial 5k on Saturday, followed by eating the weight of my head in ceviche. Sunday morning, I woke up, biked my errands - including hitting the Stadium to flyer cars for upcoming races, the Post Office, Red Box, and HEB before chowing some fish kabobs and trying to straighten up the front yard. Then, I hit my buddies' house for some libations and seafood with friends.
Then, there was vacation Monday. Which meant getting up early for the Terrell Hills City Manager's 5k. This was a free, casual, fun run - which meant no awards/official timing/frills, but did include a t-shirt and fun group of over 80 folks going for a run. I had announced my intent to take it easy, so my friend, Scotty dog, offered to keep me honest - and I ran with him on his 8 min run/2 min walk schedule. (However, he is more speedy then he lets on, and his 8 minute run pace is not my 'easy trot.' Furthermore, his watch, by which run/walk intervals are timed, is EVIL and never beeps to walk on uphills - it only beeps when we crest a hill and coast down - now walking!) But, we had some great fun taking pics of the runners and lovely houses along the route:
At the finish, each of us got a 'called out' time from the timing guy and a heartfelt handshake and thanks from the Terrell Hills Police Chief for coming out to run.
Then, after ignoring household chores, I headed out to run a 2-mile time trial with the Muertitos in Leon Valley (yep, another city that is surrounded by San Antonio). [Side note to you San Antonio folks - those of us not from here think that's weird to have pocket cities within the city.]
Anyway, my legs (and especially knee) were feeling rough, but it was fun to run a casual 2-mile race. By casual, Ceci - the 'organizer' and my other photographer - issued bibs, used computer timing to post results, and fotog'ed. Yep, they didn't have all that in the morning! Anyway, here are the 2nd race of the day pics:
I'd like to thank the Scotty dog, myself, and Ceci for the pics.
You can check out Scotty's full report at http://www.runnersworld.com/community/forums/runner-communities/beginners/report-photos-terrell-hills-5k-fun-run-walk/.0
You can check out Ceci's Dia de los Muertos Run & Training Group at http://www.diadelosmuertosrun.com/
And you can find me going to bed early all week because I'm beat. And this next weekend will be even crazier.

CCTV footage helps convict Glasgow rapist James Burns
A man has been convicted of rape after a jury was shown CCTV footage of his distraught victim after the attack.
James Burns attacked the 23-year-old woman after she fell asleep at his house in Glasgow on 28 May 2011.
The jury was shown images of the victim arriving at his home looking happy and leaving hours later in tears. The woman told how Burns raped her after she woke to find him on top of her.
At the High Court in Glasgow, sentence on Burns was deferred.'Grave charge'
In evidence, the victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told the court that she and Burns had something to eat and talked and she fell asleep.
She said she woke up to find him on top of her and added: "I told him to get off me and he raped me."
Judge Lord Armstrong told Burns: "This is a grave charge because of the nature of it."
The court heard that Burns has one previous conviction for possession of a knife for which he received 18 months probation.

Love timelapse videos? So do we! Check out our youtube channel to see more quick body paints like this!
Yesterday I got to kick off the spring season with an event for Arkwear, a company founded by Andreas Von Der Goltz that makes high quality polo shirts to benefit endangered animals. Partnered with the Wildlife Conservation Society, Arkwear donates a percentage of the proceeds it generates to the WCS in an effort to help support animals all over the world. Every year they come out with four new animals, and at this event we got to celebrate 6 of them! I created designs for the Sumatran Tiger, Grauer's Gorilla, Western Bumble Bee, Sperm Whale, Great White Shark, and the Orangutan. Thanks to the 59th street Bloomingdale's in Manhattan and GQ for hosting this event!
For more information, check out arkwear.com
Here is a quick video captured by one of our clients!
It's been a long while since my last post, but I'm happy to announce that Third Eye Face Painting has a brand new YouTube channel! It's good practice, and fun to watch! Check out the first one below:
In February, I got the chance to team up with Brooklyn's newest indoor soccer facility, The Pitch, at the launch of their new kid's soccer programs. The event was run by players from the New York Cosmos, so naturally there were lots of blue, green, and yellow logos going around! I'm looking forward to being available for hire at the Pitch for birthday parties, camps, and after school events! For more information on the pitch, check out: www.thepitchbrooklyn.com!
Introducing a brand new way to share my face painting projects: time lapse videos! Before saying goodbye to 2015, I wanted to say hello to this brand new medium, and I'm happy to say that it's been very successful thus far. There are still a few kinks to work out before I get my Youtube channel up and running (oops! did I say that out loud?), but the following clip got over 1200 views on Facebook since it was published less than 24 hours ago! Not too shabby if I do say so myself. :) Tune in for more in the coming weeks. I have a good feeling about 2016...
My first day painting in Central Park was a huge success! I got to meet some wonderful families and make friends with some very excited kids, all while taking one of the last warm days of November. Not sure the weather will permit me to do this again until the spring, but it will be well worth the wait! You can be sure that Third Eye Face Painting has a few, less outdoor, plans brewing for the winter. ;)
With Halloween around the corner, it's the perfect time to try out some spookier looks! This is a quick monster mask inspired by the work of Ronnie Mena, an extremely talented makeup artist based in LA. Check out his Facebook page HERE. Though I don't plan on painting NYC orange and black this Halloween, I'll certainly use it as an excuse to add a few new ideas to my design arsenal... Watch out 2016. Things are gonna get weird.
Or should I say: Hello, Social Media!
Today marks the launch of Third Eye Face Painting's first fully functional website! Since relocating to New York, NY I've decided that it's time for a fresh start. Here, you'll be able to find my portfolio, contact information, and event updates. Not only that, but Third Eye is about to beef up its online media presence with a sparkly new Facebook page! Check it out by clicking HERE or by clicking the Facebook icon at the bottom of this page. I have decided to discontinue our tumblr page (sorry about it, tumblr users) until further notice so that more focus can be directed towards this website. Don't worry though, our instagram, @3RDEYEFACEPAINT is alive and well. You now also have the option to SUBSCRIBE to our email list to receive a (very) occasional newsletter or promotion.
Also, if you've clicked around the website at all, I'm sure you've noticed our new Nightlife Gallery. That's right, Third Eye is about to delve into the wild and wonderful world of NYC nightlife entertainment! Get ready for a whole new look that will most definitely involve black lights, body painting, and more!

Anne always seemed to attract the exact same type of man, an alcoholic who got drunk all of the time and became violent and mean to her. She was so tired of attracting this routine over and over again. She came to me asking what she could do to change this and why this happened.
I Like Her So Much, But She isn't Emotionally Able- - Help Me As possible he needed help, but when the actual help arrived, he was scared because it is not a nice man's help. He needed help from distressed men and his destitute. Below is what he wrote and until I'll help him, also the bold /numbered are performed by me to highlight his mistakes.
Bear in mind, some girls you will click with right away, others you won't click with at all, and you could have the ability to tell this by the conversationbeing'stilted' or punctuated by awkward silences, but do not worry. . . she may be just as nervous asyou're so have a conversation for five minutes and if it truly isn't getting anywhere then you may choose to NH local hookups in my area about ending the conversation! Constantly remember why you are on the telephone- - you are there to organize a meeting if she seems as though she is interesting and ifyou're interested in meeting with her. You should be able to tell this from the stream( or otherwise) of this conversation. You need to get this completed as quickly as possible but in a tactful way- - you more do you or do not really want to be after two weeks on the phone with her? Arrange place a date and time for your meeting. Asyou're doing so pay attention. If you indicate a time and she seems a bit unwilling then don't compromise too much though. Your time is at least as valuable( if not more valuable) as hers. If it is becoming hard to pin down her regarding time or a date then just tell her to get back to youwhen'she issorted' and leave it at that. There are plenty of others out there- - if you do not hear from her so be it. The reasons are numerous. If you try to push her into a time or date then a strong probability is that she will not turn up. When you suggest a time /date she ought to be enthused about it. If you detect anything if she suggests another telephone call to affirm then it might not be worth some time.
It is a boon for those who are introvert and seems a little bit scared at times. Internet offers you all possibilities to share your feelings with an unidentified as well as when you discover the individual suitable, you might go and fulfill him /her.

From acting a fool on your life you set up your offspring for risk and tremendous New Hampshire.

David thinks Jessica is fairly so he asks her out on a date; they meet up at share a few laughs, the diner and interests that are common. More often than not, it's a flash in the pan, although teens feel intensely. This exploration starts to fade since they're slipped into adulthood.
Ifyou're from the minute you get up ina'responsive' state of mind, you are always going to feel as if things are slipping out of your control. The reason a morning pattern is so important is becauseyou're dedicating that first bit of attention and energy. You watching YouTube videos, are not responding to the mails of your boss, or shuffling papers for, but you place yourself FIRST.
I could feel the smallest of sadness like I was grieving a what are hookups Tennessee of myself even if I was feeling sad. It was only the feelings of helplessness through the day.

My energy kept merging with my Flame if we're miles apart in physical separation.
- Be careful with your photographs too. Do not upload pictures of yourself or sporting your business logo. Never upload photos of your kids. Be sure their ID tag isn't visible if you include any pictures of yourself using a pet. - Your profile graphics should be used ONLY for online relationship. Don't use photos you've posted.

Purchasing a drink for a woman you have not even met yet demonstrates so that you need to buy her drool, that you can not attract women. Like we talked about previously, buying her a drink is a kind of manipulation because you think that it will increase your likelihood of sleeping with her since you are only doing it.

I was surprised to be given a parcel, although I had not expected any gift contemplating how short a time we'd known each other. I thanked him and set it aside for later. I prefer to open my gifts in front as possible because I fear my poker face is rubbish, or alone; I'm not an expressive individual.
Avoid trying to flirt with all the women there. You should stick to a girl from the beginning because all the girls are going to observe thatyou're currently trying to flirt with everybody. This will make you seem needy and manipulative. The inherent communication is" I really don't care what woman I hook up with tonight. I am going to flirt with as many as I can until a woman likes me" . Not quite attractive behaviour.
Eliezer lays out on his trip and arrives in the well in which the maiden's arrived to fetch water. That was his very best bet for seeing what the area had to offer regarding young ladies, but it was also the place where Abraham's people dwelt, to discover. He did not sex dating line about New Hampshire pinoy online dating questions of the folks, trying to find out where he could find the home of Nahor. Instead, Eliezer begins to pray: " And he said, O Lord, God of my master Abraham, I beg You, cause me to meet with great success now, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
But instead of saying" should possess a college degree" , you might choose to think about what's important to you about that college degree. Is it the quality of NH best free site for sex hookups local you would have together? Or is it? [ Notice: Leonardo da Vinci had no college level] Or perhaps it's more about earnings potential. Whatever criterion you have written down, ask yourself, " Self- - what is significant about it? What exactly does having this criterion permit me to experience? " Go for this- - the actual food instead of the menu.
Since he made a lot of cash he wished to reveal it by purchasing clothes and an expensive vehicle. He thought he could attract all the women in the world with his Gucci shirt along with his BMW. The one issue is, he had no game.
I nearly always only pick in this phase whom I write to and whom not. I also come across a couple of ladyboys who slipped through as a woman while I had been looking at the faces( even if this does not happen to me quite often anymore) . Some women write detailed in their profile exactly what they aren't searching for.
Here is something you are going to need to play by ear, but in character, you should absolve yourself of any" spray and pray" , figures game ideas you have, and embrace a more discerning lens in which you see potential romantic interests in your dating life.
Be careful Of The Lies Clearly not every individual in the on the internet dating will be real. Always be careful that there are those who will smoking prostitutes NH their finest not to be themselves. They will certainly act in different ways from that they truly are just to getyou're your interest as well as make you fall for their lies. The majority of these koreatown prostitutes NH of people are really not interested in the relationship yet they are there just to lose your time.
By this, I do not necessarily mean that you have to go around naked and stink, this is an extreme example of how much superfluous best services for local hookups New Hampshire guy has devised not to accept what he really is, a more intelligent animal than others.
Regardless of how poor or necessary the separation may happen to be anyone who has suffered a separation after a long- term or purposeful relationship has grappled with the notion of calling the ex. Just like anything, the motives for needing to contact vary from person to person.
I was single but I had met a woman. We didn't actually have much in common. I could not really tell if she was hiding her personality or should there just wasn't much there to start with. She seemed to have many emotions or thoughts. She was the kind of person who only tried to get by. I just kept since she was the only woman I understood who would actually spend some time with me asking her out.
The filtration procedure can be very, very brutal because a actual local hookups KY chunk of those tens of thousands of males are jerks, perverts, fakes, spammers, scumbags, or guys. And I haven't begun talking about looks. Do you see this process can be? The fact of relationship is that there are so many fake profiles on dating websites. A lot of people would think that these bogus profiles are all of the girls.
The thing about this website is you might need to answer questions regarding your physical traits, such as body type, hair, and so on, but there is a photo submission not required. This website takes actual work( which is not really any different from any other dating website) you can not just make a profile, sit back and expect someone out there finds you. The website encourages you to socialize with communities, chatrooms, and their forums, so it is not for the idle.

We love a good show. We love pomp and celebration, fireworks and feasts, music and the heritage of tradition. And we love it even more when these converge together in one of the world’s most storied and beautiful locales. At a castle. Castles tend to lend a certain amount of awe and importance to any event, after all.
That air of profoundness is palpable at the Edinburgh International Festival. You’ll feel the excitement for yourself during the 2017 Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo – part of the annual Edinburgh International Festival (the largest celebration of arts and culture in the world) and a very special highlight of Crystal Symphony’s overnight stay in the Scottish capital next August. The city, colloquially pronounced Embra by the quick-tongued locals, has been the backdrop for this astonishing display of military precision and splendor for more than 60 years, its 1,100-year-old castle the imposing centerpiece.
The atmosphere of these military actions are nothing but celebratory, though, as Her Majesty’s troops from all branches of the British Armed Forces, Commonwealth, march along the castle’s Esplanade in perfect synchronization, performing alongside international military bands and impressing, literally, everyone. Indeed, the attendance for the annual festival (and the Tattoo specifically) has surpassed 200,000 guests for the past several years, growing each year and welcoming more than 30% of those revelers from overseas. Performers, too, hail from all over the world, with military bands from Netherlands, Norway and even Africa sharing their talents.
And while the spirit of the festival is international common ground and the aforementioned shared love of a good show, the focus is decidedly on the Scots for this occasion. You’ll be mesmerized by the members of the national regiments, as battalions from The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment), The Royal Regiment of Scotland and a dozen others take the stage, their bagpipes at the ready.
The 10-day voyage is named for the event – “Highlighting the Edinburgh Tattoo” – and rightfully so, as Crystal guests will enjoy specially arranged seats and perks for the evening festivities. But, beyond the festivities, you’ll be charmed by the city and its residents’ genuine friendliness. Appreciation of expression, creativity and pride in country and heritage is everywhere. You’ll see plenty of men in kilts showing off the owner’s clan in a traditional tartan, one of Scotland’s most enduring traditions. And if the proud wearer is sporting the full kit-and-caboodle, you’ll see wonderful formal dress Scottish Highland, complete with the kilt, kilt pin, belt and buckle, a fancy sporran, kilt shirt, Prince Charlie jacket, kilt hose, flashes, ghillie brogues and a fly plaid.
Perhaps the woolen tartan specialist mills providing weaving demonstrations will pique your interest in researching your own family tartan. Consult the official database known as The Scottish Register of Tartans , or design your own tartan from scratch or go for one of the four “universal” plaids (Hunting Stewart, Black Watch, Caledonia, Jacobite).
You’ll be perfectly suited for the evening’s festivities in your new frock. It promises to be quite a show.

The third Saturday of October means two things to Tennesseans: It's Vols-Bama game day or a trip to Ketner's Mill Country Fair is on tap.
The 36th annual Ketner's Mill fair is Saturday and Sunday in the Sequatchie Valley. The circa-1824 mill situated on the banks of the Sequatchie River makes a picturesque backdrop for more than 100 craftsmen and 20 food vendors' booths.
The aroma of hamburgers grilling and popping kettle corn wafts across the grounds while visitors shop or pull up a bench to take in performances of local musicians and cloggers.
Besides shopping, Ketner's offers lots of old-fashioned family fun: hayrides, tours of the old mill, canoeing the Sequatchie and a petting zoo. It's not uncommon to find dads and sons lined up along the riverbank below the mill, skipping rocks across the water.
* A few miles further west up I-24, the huge Webb School show also is taking place Saturday and Sunday. What began as a fundraiser for the school in Bell Buckle, Tenn., has grown to one of the biggest arts and crafts shows in the state with more than 500 exhibitors. Booths spill over from the campus into downtown Bell Buckle; shuttles transport visitors between locations.
* Festivalgoers might want to combine their trip home down I-24 Saturday night with a stop in Sewanee, Tenn., where the Sewanee Angel Festival will get under way at 7 p.m.
The festival is sponsored by the Sewanee Business Alliance to raise funds for the new Sewanee Angel Park in downtown Sewanee.
According to Ed Hawkins of the alliance, the park is being built by private funds from local businesses and the community. So far, $60,000 has been raised; $40,000 is still needed.
Local businesses The Blue Chair Cafe, Sewanee Sweets and Julia's will sell food to festivalgoers. Members of the Sewanee Arts and Crafts Association will display their work. Hawkins said visitors will be entertained by Ashley Cleveland of Nashville, a three-time Grammy Award winner and two-time Dove Award winner. Also performing in the park's new music pavilion will be Towson Engsberg & Friends, a blues and cover band.
* Another scenic day trip is a drive to Mentone, Ala., where the annual Colorfest takes places Saturday and Sunday. According to Harriet O'Rear, 75 juried exhibitors will be showing fine art and crafts at locations throughout downtown Mentone and each day will be filled with free musical entertainment.

In today’s FX charts strategy, we select the Aussie as the currency with the most upside potential across the board as risk appetite returns to the market, and this evening’s Australian inflation figures are expected to lift the currency. Rallying Asian equities are boosting European trade after China’s CITIC and U.S.’ Bear Stearns announced it would buy a portion in one another’s shares.
Declining oil prices, resulting from a weak U.S. outlook and Turkey’s attempts to bring a diplomatic solution to its tensions with Kurdish guerillas, is also boosting market confidence. The lack of U.S. data may be another green light for additional buying on the dips in U.S. equities barring any negative earnings announcements and dire warnings of a U.S. recession.
Sentiment, momentum indicate looming gold top
Gold prices are recovering past the $757 per ounce level after a brief $8 pullback in Monday’s trade to $749. An extended return to risk appetite is likely to sustain gold’s rally, but we do warn of the incipient signals from all time highs in the weekly net longs among speculative futures and a bearish divergence in the weekly gold stochastics. The fundamental catalyst of the next gold retreat is likely to emerge from: 1) a global equity sell off that would extend unwinding of carry trades and dollar advances; 2) a Chinese rate hike that would be perceived as a downside risk for Chinese commodity appetite; 3) upside surprise in this week’s U.S. housing figures or a figure less weak than expected. We have also warned that gold prices are highly overstretched in relative terms, where the daily deviation must not exceed more than 110%-112% of its 200-day moving average.
Playing the Aussie’s rebound ahead of CPI
The charts below show not only the negative technicals for gold in Aussie terms (a sign of anticipated broadening improvement for the currency) but also of the upside potential for AUD/USD. Already gaining ground in European trade, Aussie is likely to be bid ahead of this evening’s Q3 CPI (9:30 pm EST) expected to raise the odds for an RBA rate hike as early as next month. CPI is expected to have risen 0.9% q/q from 1.2%, but this week’s stronger than expected showing of Q3 PPI of 1.1% in Q3 versus expectations of 0.8%, is likely to trigger a CPI figure of at least 1.1%. It is worth noting that Australia’s PPI report has had a successful rate in predicting the magnitude of CPI over the past four quarterly releases.
We expect AUD/USD to chart a climb towards 89.50, at which point we could see a retreat until the release of the CPI report. A strong report is seen calling up the 89.80 figure, followed by 90.20. Support stands at 89.00, backed by 88.70.
We continue to favor AUD/EUR (63.10) and AUD/GBP (44.00).
When does the euro pullback and when does it not? Euro’s sharp pullback in Monday’s U.S. trade were a combination of re-emerging downside risks in the Euro zone that may hamper the ECB’s hawkish policy and unwinding of dollar shorts especially as gold prices had begun a rare a retreat. The reason the euro had not been dragged by last Friday’s equity sell-off was due to the United States – specific nature of the catalysts of the sell off i.e. earnings losses from the U.S. top banks (Citigroup, BoA and Wachovia), dismal U.S. housing starts/building permits and higher probabilities of a U.S. recession by U.S. cargo/transportation firms. Once the U.S. Friday sell-off was followed by sharp losses in Asian and European shares on Monday, risk aversion trades became more global and so was the unwinding in the dollar shorts. Thus it is not only important to discern the activity in U.S. and non-U.S. equities, but also to be aware of the catalysts to these losses
Separately, Euro zone new industrial orders rose 0.3% in August from July, and were up 5.1% on a year-on-year basis, versus forecasts of 0.9% m/m and 6.0% y/y.
The euro’s losses risk intensifying in the event of an accelerating gold sell-off below the $730 per ounce mark, which would risk breaching $1.40. Such a gold sell off would either take place in the unlikely event of surprisingly strong U.S. data or more likely intensifying losses in global equities. The euro’s medium term outlook remains largely bullish as foreign central banks and Sovereign wealth funds buying euros on the dips as part of their FX reserves balancing act.
EUR/USD eyes resistance at $1.4210 followed by 1.4240. Key resistance stands at 1.4290m, which is just above the 61.8% retracement of the 1.4352-1.4124 decline. Support stands at 1.4175, followed by 1.4150.
USD/JPY allows temporary upside USD/JPY is off its 113.22 low but we expect renewed losses near the open of the U.S. equity session is expected to target the 113 figure, 50% retracement of the rally from the Jan. 21 low to the 1214.12 high. Since USD/JPY is widely used gauge of risk appetite, the potential for an inter-meeting Fed cut prior to the Oct. 31 announcement, or a 50-basis point rate cut at the scheduled meeting, may surprise to the upside and trigger a dosage of risk appetite, weighing on the Japanese yen. Nonetheless, further easing would mean further erosion in the dollar’s yield foundation, thus, relegating it to the league of low yielding currencies. This will not only limit the upside move in USD/JPY but also accelerate the anticipated rebound in gold. Upside capped at 114.40, followed by 114.70.

We are nearing the climax of a watershed election. The Ruling Class understands that Donald Trump represents a counter-revolution to all they have built up over the last 50 years. That emphatically includes GOP leaders like Speaker Paul Ryan,
who hastened not merely to step on Trump’s bounce back in the second debate by announcing he was suspending support, but is signaling he will continue to damage Trump as much as possible [Inside Ryan's decision to (almost) dump Trump| The speaker might still fully rescind his endorsement before Nov. 8, sources told POLITICO
, by Jakee Sherman and John Bresnahan, Politico
, October 11, 2016]
This phenomenon has inspired an important essay from Angelo M. Codevilla
, a Senior Fellow of the Claremont Institute and emeritus professor of International Relations at Boston University,
: After the Republic.
September 27, 2016]. Codevilla’s basic idea: the cultural revolution of the last 50 years has destroyed America as a constitutional republic. As many on the Alt Right have noted, there is nothing left to conserve. The question now is where our post-republic period will take us. Codevilla [Email him
Because Republicans largely agree with Democrats that they need not take seriously the founders’ Constitution, today’s American regime is now what Max Weber had called the Tsarist regime on the eve of the Revolution: “fake constitutionalism.” Because such fakery is self-discrediting and removes anyone’s obligation to restrain his passions, it is a harbinger of revolution and of imperial power. [Emphasis added]
This is why we see repeated crazy comparisons
of Trump to Hitler
—most recently, This New York Times 'Hitler' review sure reads like a thinly disguised Trump comparison.
[By Aaron Blake, Washington Post,
September 28, 2016] Despite absolutely no statements from Trump suggesting that he would suspend the Constitution and assume dictatorial powers, the concern is lurking that, like Hitler, he would do just that.
The fundamental reason for this fear among the elites: their guilty conscience. They understand that in the last 50 years they have completely upended the old order in America. They have created a revolution that opposes the most fundamental interests
of the historic white American nation. They understand that this election could confirm their revolution—but only if Hillary Clinton wins.
Her victory would mean continued Leftist appointments to the Supreme Court (Codevilla has an excellent summary of the vast changes in “Constitutional Law”
imposed by the new regime)
and it would mean importing around many millions more non-whites, the great majority uneducated, poor, and dependent
and the vast majority of whom will be entirely on board with their revolution.
The top-down nature of this revolution cannot be overemphasized. There was never a demand by a majority, or even close to a majority, from any Western country
for a complete transformation
, to the point that white people will soon be minorities in societies they had dominated for hundreds
and, in the case of Europe, thousands
of years. This top-down revolution has never been supported by a majority of white Americans.
There is anger, resentment, and fear for the future.
Trump represents an inchoate backlash against this revolution. But we have entered an era where it is too late to simply turn back the clock. The changes have been too drastic. One could change the legal situation with one or two judicious Supreme Court picks.
But that will not undo the importation of a new people—tens of millions of non-whites with all that that implies for the future.
As Codevilla notes, because we have entered an era of fake constitutionalism and because the most fundamental interests of the traditional American majority have been ruthlessly suppressed,
there is no obligation to restrain one's passions. The situation is indeed what Codevilla calls “a harbinger of revolution and of imperial power."
The new Ruling Class realizes that it rules by lawless bureaucratic coercion:
In today’s America, a network of executive, judicial, bureaucratic, and social kinship channels bypasses the sovereignty of citizens. Our imperial regime, already in force, works on a simple principle: the president and the cronies who populate these channels may do whatever they like so long as the bureaucracy obeys and one third plus one of the Senate protects him from impeachment. If you are on the right side of that network, you can make up the rules as you go along, ignore or violate any number of laws, obfuscate or commit perjury about what you are doing (in the unlikely case they put you under oath), and be certain of your peers’ support. These cronies’ shared social and intellectual identity stems from the uniform education they have received in the universities. Because disdain for ordinary Americans is this ruling class's chief feature, its members can be equally certain that all will join in celebrating each, and in demonizing their respective opponents. [My emphasis
While the traditional America aspired to be and substantially attained a society based on individual merit, the new elite is not a meritocracy (the poster child for this is Elena Kagan
), and not just in terms of Affirmative Action and ethnic favoritism in university admissions
. The Clintons may be seen as representative of the corruption of this new ruling elite, able to flout laws with impunity. At this writing, Hillary Clinton remains ahead in most national polls and has the support of the entire Establishment, left to right, despite:
- highly credible charges of unprecedented corruption involving hundreds of millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation from donors, many of them foreign entities, while she was Secretary of State, as well as outrageous speaking fees for Bill Clinton from these same donors (importantly, his speaking fees skyrocketed after Hillary became Secretary of State);
- violation of an agreement between Clinton and the Obama Administration not to accept foreign donations during her tenure as Secretary of State;
- the destruction via BleachBit (a program designed to make the information non-retrievable) of likely incriminating emails after a subpoena,
- being cleared of criminal conduct by the FBI that would have sent ordinary people to prison;
- her staff pleading the Fifth Amendment in Congressional hearings;
- many of her staff receiving immunity deals even there is good reason to think they lied to the FBI;
- an agreement for the FBI to destroy computer owned by Clinton aides, including Cheryl Mills, Clinton’s Chief of Staff, plus looking only at contents between June 1, 2014 and February 1, 2015 and hence ignoring much possibly incriminating evidence.
And in the same vein, Bill Clinton continues to receive adulation in the Main Stream Media
and acts as a spokesperson for Hillary, despite a credible history
of rape and lying about extramarital relationships which were aggressively covered up by Hillary by lying and intimidating and impugning the reputation of the women involved.
None of this has been enough to derail wall-to-wall Ruling Class support for Hillary Clinton. We have indeed come to the end of America as a constitutional republic governed by the rule of law.
Indeed, Codevilla sees the failed impeachment of Bill Clinton a
s a harbinger of the end of the republic:
Consider, for example, how republic-killing an event was the ruling class’s support of President Bill Clinton in the wake of his nationally televised perjury. Subsequently, as constituencies of supporters have effectively condoned officials’ abusive, self-serving, and even outright illegal behavior, they have encouraged more and more of it while inuring themselves to it. That is how republics turn into empires from the roots up.
If the Democrats win, Codevilla sees them driving “the transformations that it has already wrought on America to quantitative and qualitative levels that not even its members can imagine.”
They would continue their war on traditional "racist," "sexist" America with literally nothing to stop them. The
disdain for how other Americans live and think has remained fundamental…. The media reacted to Hillary Clinton’s remark that “half of Trump’s supporters could be put into a ‘basket of deplorables’” as if these sentiments were novel and peculiar to her. In fact, these are unremarkable restatements of our ruling class’s perennial creed.
Thus, despite appearances to the contrary, there is a unified oligarchic Establishment that straddles both the Republican and Democrat parties. This has not been so obvious in previous elections, when Republicans and Democrats were apparently quite different on some issues. However, the rise of Donald Trump has shown that the Establishment is entirely united. For example, billionaires are supporting
Hillary Clinton 20–1, whereas in previous elections, they were much more split between the two parties. Not one Fortune 100 CEO
is supporting Trump.
The other pillar of the Ruling Class is the media which reflects academic culture and political culture generally. The media, along with academia, and the bureaucracy, have been prime drivers of this top-down revolution, in which the moral and intellectual high ground has been seized by people hostile to the traditional peoples and cultures of the West. This new Ruling Class is completely out of touch with the interests of a majority of its citizens—particularly White Americans. Thus the print media is almost completely in the anti-Trump camp:
The [endorsements] are overwhelmingly against him, and they just keep coming, in language that is notable for its blunt condemnation of the candidate and its “save the Republic’’ tone.The endorsements are coming not only from the usual mainstream media suspects but also from newspapers that either never before supported a Democrat or had not in many decades—The Dallas Morning News, The Arizona Republic, The Cincinnati Enquirer—or had never endorsed any presidential candidate, like USA Today. The Wall Street Journal has not gone there, at least not yet, but a member of its conservative-leaning editorial board has: Dorothy Rabinowitz, who called Mr. Trump “unfit.”What’s most striking is the collective sense of alarm they convey—that Mr. Trump is a “dangerous demagogue” (USA Today) whose election would represent a “clear and present danger” (The Washington Post, The Cincinnati Enquirer), or, as The Atlantic editor Scott Stossel said in an interview Tuesday [October 4, 2016 “a potential national emergency or threat to the Republic.”[The Editorialists Have Spoken; Will Voters Listen?, by Jim Rutenberg, NYT, October 5, 2016 ] [Links in original]
It is ironic indeed that these media people see Trump as threatening the republic when, as Codevilla notes, that republic is already gone as a result of the actions of our new Ruling Class.
Because of this perceived “clear and present danger,” Codevilla argues, from the standpoint of the media, “devotion to truth means not reporting on Donald Trump and people like him as if they or anything they say might be of value.” An important example: Lester Holt
, moderator of the first Clinton-Trump debate, skewed questions to favor Clinton, emphasizing perceived Trump’s w
eak points (on his taxes and the so-called birther issue) while completely ignoring Clinton’s blatant financial corruption and other criminal actions.
Similarly, the media in the U.S. and in Europe has been entirely in favor of massive non-white immigration and the never-ending flow of refugees. In both Europe and the U.S., the media has downplayed or ignored crime by immigrants as well as an epidemic of black on white crime. Horrendous crimes by illegal immigrants and recent migrants are treated only as local issues if they are mentioned at all. Unless citizens are reading widely on the internet, they don’t know about these stories.
The MSM environment has been closed off to the message
that whites have interests, j
ust like everybody else; that identifying as a white person who wants to advance these interests is normal and natural; that race is real;
that there are real racial differences
in traits important for success in a modern society
and that there is no magic wand to change these traits; and finally and most importantly, that immigration and multiculturalism carry huge costs to the historic American nation in terms of social cohesion, social conflict, trust, and willingness to contribute to public goods, like healthcare, welfare, and public infrastructure.
But as Codevilla notes,
Under our ruling class, “truth” has morphed from the reflection of objective reality to whatever has “normative pull”—i.e., to what furthers the ruling class’s agenda, whatever that might be at any given time. That is the meaning of the term “political correctness,” as opposed to factual correctness.”
Truth is whatever you want to make it, just as the Constitution now means whatever the Ruling Class says it means.
While it's obvious what a Clinton victory would mean, the consequences of a Trump victory are far less certain. Codevilla is pessimistic that there could be real change:
Because it is difficult to imagine a Trump presidency even thinking about something so monumental as replacing an entire ruling elite, much less leading his constituency to accomplishing it, electing Trump is unlikely to result in a forceful turn away from the country’s current direction. Continuing pretty much on the current trajectory under the same class will further fuel revolutionary sentiments in the land all by itself. Inevitable disappointment with Trump is sure to add to them.
But the two great revolutions of the twentieth century—the Bolshevik Revolution and National Socialism—did indeed replace ruling elites. And of course, the fear that a Trump victory would indeed lead to a wholesale replacement of our ruling elite is behind the hysterical opposition that he has received from the entire Establishment.
Codevilla's conclusion is worth pondering:
We have stepped over the threshold of a revolution. It is difficult to imagine how we might step back, and futile to speculate where it will end. Our ruling class’s malfeasance, combined with insult, brought it about. Donald Trump did not cause it and is by no means its ultimate manifestation. Regardless of who wins in 2016, this revolution’s sentiments will grow in volume and intensity, and are sure to empower politicians likely to make Americans nostalgic for Donald Trump’s moderation. [Emphases added]
Finally, given my research interests, II would be remiss if I did not mention the critical role played by Jews and the organized Jewish community in the changes that are now coming to a head.
There is no question that Jews are a prominent component of our new elite and played a determinative role
in passing the watershed 1965 immigration law. I have written five VDARE.com articles
on Jewish opposition to Trump, often expressed in terms of Jewish identity, interests in multiculturalism, immigration and refugee policy, and fear of a fascist America.
Given the very powerful position Jews enjoy in the American media (summarized briefly here
and more extensively here
, pp. xlvi-lvi), they necessarily play a major role in the anti-Trump movement.
Jewish opposition to Trump is virtually unanimous, and in the Republican Party, Jewish neoconservatives
are leading the #NeverTrump movement. (One of them, Paul Ryan adviser Dan Senor
, is rumored
to have leaked the Access Hollywood
tape, although the MSM seems reluctant to ask him). According to 538,
in 2012, around 70% of money given by Jews directly to candidates went to Obama, while in 2016, 95% has gone to Clinton. [The GOP’s Jewish Donors Are Abandoning Trump,
By Eitan Hersh and Brian Schaffner, September 21, 2016] Jews are vastly overrepresented among the top donors
to pro-Clinton PACs, while the Republican Jewish Coalition has not endorsed Trump, with many donors switching to Clinton. Adelson, after investing $93 million in the 2012 campaign for Republicans, including $30 million
to a Romney PAC, now says he will donate only $45 million, of which only $5 million will go to Trump, the rest going to House and Senate candidates. [Donald Trump Gains the Support of a Former 'Never Trump' Billionaire,
by Michal Addady, Fortune.com, September 20, 2016]
Codevilla says frankly that a deep unhappiness with the current political culture is brewing that could ultimately lead to a revolutionary upheaval.
Trump accomplished a hostile takeover of the Republican Party. Can he accomplish a hostile takeover of the presidency in the teeth of unanimous opposition from our hostile elites?Kevin MacDonald [email him] is emeritus professor of psychology at California State University–Long Beach.

Starting off, we would like to introduce John Henry Toney. His work is incredibly imaginative and free from conventional ideas of what or how art should be made. He was born in 1928 and lives in Seale, Alabama, at the edge of a swamp. This is the same town as another featured artist of Wondrous Obsessions; Butch Anthony. Toney and Butch are very good friends and have known each other for years.
Toney's artistic journey was sparked when he was ploughing a field and turned up a turnip which looked as though it had a face on it! From that, you can see how Toney's drawing are unique representations of how he sees the worlds - To decode a drawing, keep in mind a humorous and direct interpretation of important and significant subjects. You will see strong bulls, men and women, aeroplanes even the smells they exude!
The imagination of John Henry Toney's drawings tell the story of his life and the two things he feels are most important. "Love and water are the two most powerful things on earth".
We love that it is not uncommon for Toney to write his telephone number or the expiration date of his driver's license on his drawings. He declares his best work to be somewhere "between expert and genius".
Mrs Henry Toney
Original coloured pencil and felt tip drawings available for purchase between £450 - £550.
Mark Powell is back with brand new work after his sell out show at Hang Up last month. His Bic biro ink drawings remain to be beautiful and intricate, yet the subject matter is directed towards the ideas of the Art of Collecting.
As we know, Powell finds and collects all his material he draws on. His inclusion in this show is no different. As opposed to drawing from photographs, he has taken inspiration from the vanitas paintings, a collection of symbolic objects, synonymous with the inevitability of death, transience and earthy achievements. Mark has taken this and drawn from still life.
Inner Workings Of A Pocket Watch
Since his solo show at Hang-Up, Mark was invited to show at Subliminal Project in LA. This gallery was created by Shepard Fairey and Blaize Blouin in 1995. Out Of Line is a group show which is coming to an end next week.
Dance Like Nobody Is Watching
Mark is an avid traveler and draws inspiration from the people and culture. This ties in with the nature of Wunderkabinetts - A collection of objects bought and found all over the world.
Read on to find one of many funny stories Mark recanted from his journeys...
Pre Touch-Up Of A Magazine Cover
"Another one is when I nearly walked to Finland, from Stockholm. I was in a club, and I spent every penny I had buying vodka red bulls for everyone. This was when I was a student. And my buddy had to pay for everything whilst I was there. And on the first night, we met some people, and I was dancing on the dance floor to Metallica, then realised everyone had left. So I decided to leave but went in the opposite direction for three hours - there was 9 ft of snow everywhere. And I was like - this isn’t the right way because its only a 2 minute walk back to where I’m staying. So I turned around and started to walk back. I kept looking for a doorway to sleep in and couldn’t find anywhere. I can remember seeing a Mosque in the distance, focused on that, and got back 6 hours later. I had icicles on my beard. It was about 9.30 in the morning by the time I had got back, and some Germans just gave me some beers. That was fun."
Various Stages Of Emotion Illustrated
With such an exciting collection of new works by affiliated artists and many that have been introduced to Hang-Up - we hope you will be able to attend Wondrous Obsessions: The Art Of Collecting - Curated By The Connor Brothers - Private View on Thurs 5th May - 6-9pm

Five straight Southeastern Conference wins hasn't been enough to get the Georgia men's basketball team noticed on a national level.
Six most definitely would.
The chance for the Bulldogs to win it's sixth straight SEC game, take command of the SEC East and gain national attention comes today, as they host No. 6 Tennessee at Stegeman Coliseum (4 p.m., 106.1-FM).
''This is a statement game, it's a statement game for us to be more than a team that's on a little streak to one that is competing for a championship,'' said Georgia's D.A. Layne, the Bulldogs' leading scorer with 16.1 points per game. ''This means a lot for our confidence and for our position in the conference.''
It could also propel the Bulldogs into the national rankings. Georgia has seven losses, more than any other ranked team. But, the Bulldogs have played the nation's toughest schedule and are currently 12-7. Georgia is also alone in first place of the SEC East for the first time since 1990, when the Bulldogs won the SEC title. The Bulldogs are 5-1 in conference play, with Tennessee trailing by one-half game at 4-1.
It is perhaps the Bulldogs' biggest game at Stegeman Coliseum since 1990, when the Bulldogs hosted LSU. The Tigers at the time had Shaquille O'Neal, Chris Jackson and Stanley Roberts. The Bulldogs won that game, 86-85.
''It's biggest game in Stegeman Coliseum since I've been here,'' said fifth-year senior Adrian Jones, who went to the NCAA Tournament with the Bulldogs in 1997. ''We had a lot of big games -- Tubby (Smith) vs. (Rick) Pitino, (Ron) Jirsa vs. Tubby -- but this really means something around the country and in the SEC.''
The national media will be at today's game, but there will be no television. TV schedules are made far in advance, and this game originally didn't look like it would be for first place in the SEC East.
''When you look at our record from a year ago, and you look at in August, you don't put this game on TV, I can understand that,'' said Georgia coach Jim Harrick, whose team went 3-13 in SEC play last season, and were predicted to finish fifth in the SEC East by most publications in the preseason and in a poll of media members at SEC Media Days in October.
And that's just one of the many reasons this game is important to the Bulldogs. The recent success has brought more interest to Harrick's Bulldogs. Not only will Sports Illustrated be at the game today, so will 10,522 other people. It is the Bulldogs' first official sellout since January of 1998.
The only tickets left for the game today are student tickets, which will go on sale at 2:30 p.m. at Stegeman Coliseum. That is also something that Harrick has been working on since he's been here.
''I want the students here ... it's their team,'' Harrick said. ''I hope they get the great enjoyment out of it. Everywhere I go around the country, students are having more fun than anywhere at basketball games. I want our students to have that opportunity.''
Today's game is the first in a three-game homestand against the SEC East's best. Wednesday Tubby Smith's Kentucky Wildcats come to Athens, followed by the No. 14 Florida Gators.
A win over the Volunteers would keep Georgia in first place at least until next week's game against Florida. It would also likely land the Bulldogs into the national rankings for the first time since Dec. 16, 1997, when the Bulldogs were ranked No. 20 in the A.P. poll.
''It means more to us than it does them,'' Harrick said. ''There's probably going to be a lot of these crossroad games, we're at the crossroads of doing something good and this would certainly be a plus.
''It's a game you'd love to win, but you've got to understand that you're playing the sixth-ranked team in the country. Are we ready for that? I'm not sure. But you always want to judge yourself, and you want to know where you stand. I think everyone in the world wants to know where they stand. We want to know where we stand.''

Jhanas and Satipatthana
This retreat will emphasize the application of the meditative absorptions, the Jhanas, in a regular sitting practice. The Jhanas are a method of one-pointed concentration taught in the Theravada Buddhist tradition. The retreat will emphasize the teaching of this technique and the relationship of the Jhanas to the Vipassana practices in the Satipatthana Suttas.
This retreat is suitable only for experienced meditators with regular meditation practice and prior experience from at least one week-long retreat (in any Buddhist tradition).
The retreat will be taught by Leigh Brasington. He has been practicing meditation since 1985 and is the senior American student of the late Ven. Ayya Khema. She confirmed his practice and requested that he begin teaching. Leigh assisted Ven. Ayya Khema starting in 1994, and has been leading retreats on his own since 1997 in both Europe and North America. For more details see Leigh’s Web Site.
The retreat is held in English. The days are spent in noble silence and consist of sitting and walking meditation, dharma talks, work period and personal interviews. Vegetarian breakfast, lunch, and a light dinner are served during the retreat. The venue of the retreat is The Friendship Inn in Kruusila near Salo, about 100 km west of Helsinki, Finland.
How much does it cost? How can I sign up?
The base price of the retreat is 250 euros. The retreat cost covers the traveling expenses of the teacher, the rent of the retreat facility, and the food expenses. The teacher and the organizers do not receive any payment for their services; instead, the retreatants can support the teacher and the organizers by donations after the retreat.
The retreat is now fully booked.
You can reserve a place at the retreat by first paying the registration fee 30 euros to Nirodha’s account
Bank name: LähiTapiola Pankki
Bank address: Revontulenkuja 1, Espoo
Swift code: TAPIFI22

The rest of the retreat fee (220 euros in case of the base price) should be paid by September 11th. In case of cancellations the registration fee is not refundable. If the cancellation takes place before September 11th, the rest of the retreat fee will be returned.

Muse Announce New Album ‘Will of the People’ and Share New Song
Muse will release their ninth album, Will of the People, on Aug. 26. The British alt-prog trio previewed the project with lead single "Compliance," paired with an unnerving video.
"Compliance" is a funky, synth-streaked track built on a distorted bass groove, punchy drums and vocoder chords that swoop in to color Matt Bellamy's soaring chorus vocal. The video adds a creepy edge, utilizing imagery of burning cars, glowing eyes, masks and mysterious pills.
You can watch the clip below.
In a press release, Bellamy detailed the inspiration for "Compliance," calling it a song "about submission to authoritarian rules and reassuring untruths to be accepted to an in-group."
"Gangs, governments, demagogues, social media algorithms and religions seduce us during times of vulnerability, creating arbitrary rules and distorted ideas for us to comply with," he noted. "They sell us comforting myths, telling us only they can explain reality while simultaneously diminishing our freedom, autonomy and independent thought. We are not just coerced, we are herded, frightened and corralled to produce a daily ‘two minutes of hate’ against an out-group of their choosing and to turn a blind eye to our own internal voice of reason and compassion. They just need our compliance.”
He also described how Will of the People, which follows 2018’s Simulation Theory, was "influenced by the increasing uncertainty and instability in the world."
"A pandemic, new wars in Europe, massive protests and riots, an attempted insurrection, Western democracy wavering, rising authoritarianism, wildfires and natural disasters and the destabilization of the global order all informed Will of the People," he wrote. "It has been a worrying and scary time for all of us as the Western empire and the natural world, which have cradled us for so long are genuinely threatened. This album is a personal navigation through those fears and preparation for what comes next.”
Fans can pre-order the album, with "Compliance" and "Won’t Stand Down" offered as instant downloads. Multiple formats will be available: digital, CD, black vinyl and other collectible editions, including a marbled double-vinyl only sold through the band’s official store.

Developed in 1912, in part by the USDA, Columbia sheep are wonderfully versatile. A cross between Lincoln rams and Rambouillet ewes, they blended the best traits of both breeds. Being one of the larger breeds of sheep they produce big, hardy, and fast growing lambs. Because of this they are increasingly being sought as terminal sires. That being said they are truly a dual purpose breed: Columbia ewes typically produce a 10 to 16 pound medium wool fleece with a Bradford count between 50s-60s. Though not a fine wool, I personally prefer Columbia fleeces because of their longer staple length, light shrinkage, and beautiful luster.

Craig Levein believes Hearts will have “a serious player” on their side once new signing Danny Amankwaa reaches full fitness. He signed an 18-month contract at Tynecastle last month and provided the assist for David
Milinkovic’s winning goal against St Johnstone on his first start at the weekend. The 24-year-old Dane is still not 100 per cent having not played for two months before joining Hearts from FC Copenhagen. However, manager Levein is confident he will prove to be a real asset.
Coaching staff at Riccarton plan to work Amankwaa hard this week ahead of Saturday’s Scottish Cup fifth-round tie against St Johnstone. “I’m really pleased with what has happened in the January window,” Levein told the Evening News.
“I think all the new signings are going to contribute. I think Danny will be better when he is fit.
“He is quick but he isn’t fit; he has speed but can’t maintain it. Once we get him to the point where he can play 90 minutes at full pelt, then I think we’ve got a serious player on our hands.
“Now we’re back playing one game a week, he can start doing some hard work. When we’re playing midweek games it’s quite difficult. You need players fresh for a game so it’s hard to do the work in between. I’m excited by him from what I’ve seen on the training ground and other bits and pieces.”
Levein was similarly impressed by midfielder Joaquim Adao, who debuted in maroon on Saturday after agreeing a four-month loan from the Swiss club FC Sion. He is also short of match fitness but looked like a useful addition.
“We don’t have anybody like Joaquim. I was pleased with him,” said Levein. “He was starting to cramp up but he held us together along with the centre-backs and the goalkeeper in the first half. I thought he was really good.
“I thought he read the game, anticipated well, intercepted and won a lot of tackles. His use of the ball was good. With one pass he put Kyle Lafferty in behind and that was probably the first time we had done that in the match. He showed he is going to be a big asset.”

Finding Auto Insurance Companies Covering NEMT
- What is Non-emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT)?
- Why Do NEMT Businesses Need Auto Insurance?
- Coverage Offered Under NEMT Insurance
- What to Consider When Searching for NEMT Insurance Services
What is Non-emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT)?
Emergencies aren’t the only time a medical vehicle is used. Often, they are also used for ambulatory patients who are not in an emergency situation but need more transportation assistance than what typical cab services could provide. Both NEMT and ambulatory taxi companies have a variety of equipment to transport people in stretchers, wheelchairs, or on a basic ambulatory taxi trip and are considered a significant aspect of consistent medical care. These services are often covered by Medicaid.
NEMT or non-emergency medical transportation is a business that provides transportation for individuals with scheduled medical appointments. These services are typically for people who need extra assistance getting to their recurring or standalone medical appointments or check-ups, which often includes senior citizens and people living alone. People who need transportation to a healthcare appointment may also consider ambulatory taxi trips covered by Medicaid. What’s important to remember is that people using these services do not require immediate, emergency care (hence the name).
The rise in the percentage of the elderly population in the country has led to an increase in the demand for NEMT services. According to a MACPAC report released in January 2021, there were 3.2 million NEMT users in the United States alone and it is estimated to grow by more than 4% between 2018 to 2026.
Given the staggering amount of elderly Americans missing or delaying their medical care due to mobility concerns, federal Medicaid laws now mandate that every state provide NEMT services to and from healthcare providers.
NEMT businesses differ from other transportation businesses in more ways than one. For one, they are usually compensated by Medicaid.
Why Do NEMT Businesses Need Auto Insurance?
When operating a Non-emergency Medical Transportation business, NEMT business owners face similar risks to any other transportation business, whether it’s vehicle damage from accidents, injuries to employees or customers, or even damage to third-party property.
In addition, vehicles used in NEMT are often fitted with several expensive and hi-tech equipment essential for patient care, since they are often used while transporting patients with unique medical needs.
So, apart from the regular insurance applicable to motor vehicles, the high-value equipment in NEMT vehicles needs to be insured too.
In addition, a few states make NEMT insurance, often called as Paratransit insurance, mandatory for NEMT providers. If you are an NEMT service provider, you will need to comply with regulations applicable in your state. That said, NEMT insurance can streamline your business operations while minimizing financial liabilities by protecting you in case of unfortunate and unforeseen events.
Coverage Offered Under NEMT Insurance
Many of the benefits offered under a non-emergency medical transportation insurance plan are similar to other kinds of transportation services. However, some features are unique to NEMT businesses.
General insurance coverages provided to NEMT service providers typically include:
- General liability insurance
- Physical damage insurance for vehicles
- Property damage insurance
- Worker’s compensation insurance
- Data breach insurance
- Professional liability insurance
- Employment practices liability insurance
Reputed insurance firms will also provide you with services like flexible payment options, accessible customer support, claim adjusters, and more.
How much your NEMT insurance premiums costs will depend upon a number of factors, including your location and service radius, history of claims, your driver records, and the age and condition of your vehicle. Also, factors like poor driving records or high claims can drastically increase your premium.
Most NEMT insurance providers will also ask the following among a long list of questions during the preliminary stage:
- What is the size of your fleet?
- Do your vehicles have backup cameras?
- What is your percentage of ambulatory and non-ambulatory trips?
- Do your vehicles have ramps or lifts?
- Do you contract with other contract providers?
The premium you need to pay will vary from provider to provider depending on several factors. That said, average NEMT insurance costs per vehicle, per year (for a liability limit of $1,000,000) depending on the type of area are:
- Rural: $3,500
- Suburban: $4,500
- Urban: $5,500
- Metropolitan areas (NYC, DC, NoVA): $7,500
What to Consider When Searching for NEMT Insurance Services
Paratransit insurance is a considerable investment, and it’s important to understand the nitty-gritty of any plan and how you will benefit from it before committing to one. Choosing the right insurance provider and policy requires thorough research so you are covered in case of unforeseen accidents and any consequent personal liability lawsuits.
You need to factor in the risks involved in the business and the kind of coverage your paratransit insurance provider will provide. You should therefore reach out to multiple NEMT insurance providers and take note of those that meet your requirements.
Insurance premiums are another factor to consider when choosing a provider. Having said that, cheap isn’t always the best option. When you get a quote from a provider, make it a point to clarify what each policy covers. Factor in the experience of the service provider in this industry/niche and also check their track record. These are important determinants.
Another way to go about it is to contact other non-emergency medical transportation businesses and ask them about the NEMT insurance provider they’ve partnered with, as well as the policy benefits. This will help you get several reliable leads.
Before signing up with an insurance provider, remember to tick the following things off your checklist:
- Ensure that the insurance agency is licensed and authentic, so you’re protected against frauds.
- Check what’s excluded from your NEMT policy. For example, some policies may exclude general liability, which is very important for running an NEMT business.
When signing up with an NEMT provider go for one that offers the following:
- Customizable insurance that meets your individual policy needs
- Competitive pricing
- Easy online access that allows you to make any additions or changes to your policy 24/7
- Live-chat, phone or email support
NEMT businesses need to digitize operations to keep up with increasing demand. NEMT software will help you seamlessly scale operations and also give your business a competitive edge. Typically, NEMT software has features like scheduling, dispatching, routing, billing, etc., that make your operations smoother and more efficient.
Take your NEMT business to new heights with the right NEMT software.

So: women don’t talk about their achievements. They don’t get noticed. Climb the ladder to the C-suite. They have internal barriers of all sorts that cause them not to be a woman who toots her own horn enough. Hmmmm…
Rather ironically – since I play a euphonium in the town band – me too. Or rather that was me too, until I created a strategy that simultaneously leap-frogs over the barriers and acknowledges and works with them.
The two big barriers for most of us seem to be fear and embarrassment. Fear – that we will look like braggarts and be cut down to size by those with whom we live and work. Embarrassment – well, that speaks for itself.
What Would Your Mother Say?
So what do I do?
Like my mother does about her children. Like I do about my own daughter. I think about how Mum wants the world to know how her daughter is creating, doing, being, and I tell everyone who needs to know.
I do it with joy, with abandon, with the knowledge that this makes a difference to how I see myself and how others see me. I do it to model the behaviour to other women and, I hope, encourage them to copy it in their own lives. Not gratuitously to stoke our egos, but to achieve balance. Something this world needs badly.
I pay attention to the emotional response I’m getting. I articulate what I am doing, and why. It gets a strong reaction. Often denial and dismissal, sometimes anger, but mainly recognition.
I also brag about the accomplishments of the women in my life. Behind their backs. In front of them. I detail their skills, their talents and their wonderful personality traits. I talk up the successes they have had and the projects and endeavours in which they are engaged.
Talk about embarrassment! Not mine – theirs. But I persevere. They get used to it. And most of them come to like it… They also tend to accept my version of me.
So – be your own mother, be a woman who toots her own horn, climb the ladder and be a difference in the world!

I don’t know about the rest of you, but with summer just around the corner — not to mention a stretch of beautiful weather here in NYC — I’ve been thinking about the outdoors an awful lot lately.
As things warm up over the coming weeks, I’ll be focusing on a seasonally special part of the home where the indoors and outdoors convene: the deck/patio area. Not everyone has one (including yours truly) but if you do, be sure to keep on checking back for my “All decked out” series of posts where I'll be tackling topics including eco-friendly outdoor furniture, patio planters, nontoxic wooden deck stains/treatments, green-ish ways to keep winged pests at bay while you lounge on the lanai, and more.
To kick things off, here’s a handful of items that should find a welcome home in any eco-accessorized back porch.
Recycled Sheet Metal Watering Can @ Real Goods ($15.95)
Maze Wall Hanging @ CB2 ($99.95)
Pigeon Toe Ceramics Kerr Votive Lantern @ Supermarket ($30)
Coffee Sack & Corte Pillow @ Viva Terra ($89)

Do you ever look back, and wonder if you took the right path? And maybe wonder, if the reason why you can’t find yourself out of the familiar neck of the woods is because you had been meandering in a well-disguised circle?
So you find yourself with a new perspective, but back at the same familiar starting point. I realize that these junctures are life’s way of telling us “don’t be afraid to pave a different path now.”
So you should not close your eyes and run blindly in to the night, even if you think you’re following a specter of your destiny.

Advantages and Dangers of Having a Trust
Why do people create Trusts? There are several advantages to having a Trust, depending on your assets and circumstances and the Trust’s term and funding. If you become incapacitated, a Trust can avoid the need to appoint a guardian over your assets.
Revocable and Irrevocable Trusts keep your estate plan confidential because those Trusts, unlike Wills, are not made a part of the public record. Trusts allow you to plan for the disposition of your assets over an extended period of time. They can also avoid probate if you have out-of-state real estate.
Another key reason people create Trusts is its advantages for those with minor beneficiaries. When a minor inherits property outright, the Court must appoint a guardian over the estate during the child’s minority. This need can be eliminated using a Trust.
Also, Trusts can provide for the management of assets until the beneficiary reaches a designated age. In some cases, families have relatives who are disabled. These families can utilize a Trust to help provide for their needs while protecting any public assistance benefits they may already be receiving.
Now that we’ve considered some of the advantages to having a Trust, let’s discuss some of the dangers. There are many people or businesses who try to sell Trust packages under a variety of names or programs. They may try to say that this package will allow you the opportunity to protect your assets from the Court, nursing home, or tax collector.
However, you must be very careful when responding to those programs. Most of these programs are sold by non-lawyers whose goal is to sell you a product, even if you don’t need it. For many people, a Trust is unnecessary and would then be a waste of money. For others, though, they have real circumstances or desires that would require creating a Trust.
If you think you need a Trust, you should consult with an estate planning attorney. Trusts are legal documents that can affect your taxes, estate plan, and other financial matters. Thus, you should discuss your circumstances and needs with a reputable attorney who can help you decide whether or not you really need a Trust.

Please take a look at this important video below regarding equality for all who serve in our nation’s military. I met and photographed Tra C-Harris and her spouse, Maggie, for this video. Tracey served our country with honor and pride and is now battling Multiple Sclerosis, a condition the VA attributes to military duty.
All Tra C-Harris and Maggie want is the same benefits afforded married, heterosexual veterans. Is it really fair in this day and age to have two standards for our vets? Why not treat them all with the same honor and respect they’ve earned? You can read the story here.

It’s amazing what an invigorating shower can do!
I remember at the hospital after having the twins, I didn’t shower for a couple of days. I was in so much pain and my body was trying so hard to recover it didn’t even cross my mind to take a shower. One of the nurses suggested I do that and she was right, it did make me feel a lot better even though I moved as slow as molasses.
So, since I prioritize cartooning over showering, it was only a matter of time before this cartoon would be born.

Issues / Democracy & Governance
The capture of CIA sources in Beirut represents a coup for Hezbollah.
Despite repeated expressions of support by President Barack Obama for democratic change during the "Arab Spring", the United States remains widely distrusted in the region, according to a major new survey of public opinion in five Arab countries released here Monday.
Colombia, traditionally Washington's best ally in the region, is cozying up to Brazil and building a solid commercial, financial and political network with its neighbor while Washington becomes more and more isolated as a result of the geopolitical restructuring taking place globally and regionally.
Sometimes, just when you least expect it, symbolism steps right up and coldcocks you. So how about this headline for - in the spirit of our last president - ushering America's withdrawal from Iraq right over the nearest symbolic cliff: "U.S. empties biggest Iraq base, takes Saddam's toilet." They're talking about Victory Base, formerly - again in the spirit of thoroughly malevolent symbolism - Camp Victory, the enormous American military base that sits at the edge of Baghdad International Airport and that we were never going to leave.
The U.S. will likely leave Syria to the Arab League and avoid pressing SCAF over transparency in the upcoming Egyptian elections.
The problem here is "governance failure." Or maybe we should just call it "decadence." The United States may at this point be so weakened by rot and ideology that it is unable even to act in its own interests, let alone the interests of its people, let alone the interests of humanity as a whole.
Funding for agricultural development - some US$7.7 billion worth - would be directed in large part to genetically modified crop research. In other words, food aid policy for the first time mandates the use of genetic modification technologies.
The nuclear threat, organizers say, extends beyond Tohoku, even beyond Japan. And indeed, this is the message that has been heard around the world, as the anti-nuke protest and politics were staged with specific reference to Fukushima (sadly, rarely with respect to the wider Tohoku region).
The Obama administration refuses to make military aid to Egypt contingent upon the degree to which it embraces democracy.
Conservatives believe that Iran needs to suffer "overwhelming pain."

Over the last few days on the UNDerground blog, we’ve been taking a month-by-month look back at 2012 in Fighting Irish athletics.
The posts feature some of the best Fighting Irish Digital Media videos, blogs and moments for Notre Dame during the past 365 days. While the posts are about more than just the Notre Dame football team, the #1 Irish are certainly a major focus, even during the out-of-season months.
In case you missed them, here’s a link to each of the 12 posts.
And just because, here are a few (read: many) of my favorite ND football videos from throughout the season.

Everyone should remember her name because our very own, Alexis, a sophomore Communication Studies major and aspiring singer/songwriter could be the next big artist on the scene! Just this past week, she performed at SXSW (South by Southwest Music Festival) in Austin, Texas. In preparation for her big performance, she recorded two of her own original songs.
Her fellow sisters have also described Alexis as a generous and selfless friend. Alexis’ loyalty and generosity as well as her talent makes us very proud to call her an ADPi sister!

The first alligator snapping turtle ever found in the wild in eastern Oregon was removed from Prineville Reservoir last week, according to Oregon fish and wildlife officers.
The aggressive turtle reportedly primarily eats native fish, but it is also known to catch other animals, such as small ducklings. It is native to southeast United States, and is considered invasive in Oregon. They have also been known to have caused injuries to humans with their strong bites.
According to Fox 12 in Oregon, Simon Wray, an ODFW conservation biologist, believes someone probably kept the turtle as a pet before releasing it into the reservoir.
He said, "People get these turtles when they are small and release them when they get too big and aggressive to keep as pets. It's a poor choice for a pet and the environment."
Authorities were notified of the alligator snapping turtle by local a local fisherman. The ODFW sent biologists to capture it the following day.
Alligator snapping turtles are the largest of all freshwater turtles in North America and can grow as large as 250 pounds in weight.
Rick Boatner, who is an ODFW invasive species coordinator has said, "I'd hate to see these turtles get established in Oregon," according to Fox 12.

Are you OK with Boeheim going nuts after a questionable call?
Should Bo Porter be going off of the team already?
Should the NCAA slow down the pace of the game for player safety?
Mike is mad about the Ted Wells report and it has nothing to do with Incognito. Who else could inspire the rage of Meltser?
Oh, those disingenuous college coaches…
College Basketball has a huge flaw that they need to fix and does the latest debacle by the Browns actually give you more hope for them?
Not really a normal Meltsdown but it is a big story.
All due respect, but really Tony?
The NBA has a rule and Mike thinks it is terrible.
Could there be more cold weather Super Bowls?

Shared Health - Shared Responsibility
COVID-19 – Communication to Parents/Guardians
Shared Health – Shared Responsibility
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our lives in numerous ways, including how our schools operate. There is a certain amount of risk involved in attending school during the COVID-19 pandemic, despite our precautions. It is not possible to totally eliminate the risk. But we can control and manage it if we all work together. We have been quite successful in Atlantic Canada controlling the impact and spread of the virus. Fortunately, so far, there are no known cases of COVID in any schools in Nova Scotia.
Our shared health and wellness is our shared responsibility. School and home need to work together to keep our students, families, and staff safe and healthy during this pandemic. Our collective goal is to reduce the risk of introduction and transmission of the virus in our school and community. Together we can do this.
Schools in Nova Scotia continue to take their direction from provincial Public Health authorities. Students and families must follow all protocols and guidelines prescribed for schools by Public Health. During this pandemic our continued health and well-being depend on our shared actions at school and home.
It is essential that families continue to monitor the health of their children each day before they come to school, using the COVID- 19 Daily Checklist. Copies of the Daily Checklist (in various languages, including English, French, Chinese, Arabic, Filipino, Korean, and Spanish) are included in this email at attachments.
Please keep your child at home if they are ill, even if their symptoms are mild, and even if they are not COVID related. Contact 811 for consultation. By monitoring daily, you are doing your part to protect your shared health.
• All students (grades PP – 12) are required to wear a mask when travelling on the school bus.
• When at school, all students (in grades PP – 12) are required to wear masks at school.
• Students must wear their masks (including in hallways and common areas of the school) when they are unable to socially distance by 2 metres. If students are seated two metres apart and facing the same direction, they may remove their masks while seated at their desks.
• Masks can be removed when students are eating and drinking or taking part in indoor physical activity when a mask cannot be worn. Masks are not required during outdoor activities.
• Each student was issued two cloth face masks at the beginning of this school year. They have been replenished throughout the year. Students are responsible for wearing a mask to school every day. We have a very limited supply of disposable masks for those who forget.
• Public Health has encouraged us all to socialize the wearing of masks as a measure to protect our collective health.
Health and Wellness Reminders:
• Frequent hand washing is essential.
• Frequent use of hand sanitizer is essential.
• Practice good cough and sneeze hygiene.
• No sharing is caring. Students should not be sharing food, personal belongings, school supplies, etc. when at school.
• Students should avoid bringing toys to schools (especially stuffed animals/plush toys).
• The sharing of technology should be limited. Any equipment shared at school will be cleaned after each use.
• Students in grades pre-primary to nine will remain with their classes (i.e. in cohorts) throughout the day, as much as possible, with limited interaction.
• When at school students should follow instructions on all COVID related signage, including signs on doors and directional arrows on the floors and walls.
• Students who are unwell (for whatever reason) should remain at home until feeling better. Sick children should not be sent to school.
• Any students who become unwell at school will have a separate location in the school where they will be supervised, while they wait to be picked up by a parent/guardian.
• If a child feels unwell or begins to exhibit COVID-19 symptoms, a parent/guardian will be contacted for pickup.
• If your child exhibits COVID symptoms, contact 811 to receive advice from Public Health on what to do next, including when/if the child can return to school.
• Each student should bring a filled water bottle to school every day.
• At Park West we will continue to operate daily with staggered recess and lunch period schedules.
• Junior high students will not change classes for various subjects. Teachers will move instead.
• Junior high students will not be permitted to use lockers to store their belongings during the day.
• Movement throughout the building during the day will be limited for students, as much as possible (eg. elementary students will not go to the music room or library for those classes).
• Our cafeteria food service remains suspended. Our cafeteria is closed until further notice.
• No unauthorized vehicle traffic (including parent/guardian vehicles) is permitted on our school grounds during the school day (8:00 am to 3:00 pm).
• Students should leave the school grounds promptly at dismissal time.
• Parents/guardians, and non-essential visitors, are not permitted inside the school building.
• If parents/guardians are dropping off or picking up their children on school property they must practice social distancing.
• Remind your children to wash and hand sanitize their hands before and after they touch their library books and classroom books that have been borrowed and taken home.
• As much as possible we are maximizing opportunities for outdoor learning (especially physical education classes). Students should come to school dressed appropriately for the outdoor learning and play.
• Continue to talk to your children about the Public Health measures at school so they are prepared and know what is expected of them.
• Until further notice foods and beverages will not be permitted to be brought into school by students/parents/guardians for the purpose of sharing with others for parties and celebrations (such as Hallowe'en, Valentines, etc.).

Feds OK Verizon, Sprint Deals With Some Caveats
Page 1 of 1
WASHINGTON -- Move over AT&T. The Federal Communications Commission today handed the top spot in the wireless industry to Verizon Wireless by approving its $28 billion acquisition of rural carrier Alltel.
The FCC blessed the merger with three full affirmative votes, with two of the five commissioners casting votes of partial dissent and partial concurrence. In clearing the final regulatory hurdle, Verizon becomes the biggest U.S. wireless carrier with 84 million customers -- about 10 million ahead of AT&T's (NYSE: T) subscriber base.
The commission also signed off unanimously on the merger of Sprint Nextel (NYSE: S) and Clearwire (NASDAQ: CLWR) , paving the way for the carriers to move forward with their ambitious $14.5 billion WiMAX project.
The votes came after a delay of nearly five hours as the affirming commissioners struggled to reach a compromise on how long the combined Verizon-Alltel entity would have to honor the two companies' existing roaming contracts with other providers. The order requires that the existing commitments remain in effect for four years. The commissioners who voted in partial dissent said they wanted the roaming requirement set at seven years.
The FCC actions put the carriers in stronger market positions in a highly competitive industry. Mobile device users are hungry for better data services and faster network access to deliver advanced mobile applications on an increasingly sophisticated crop of smartphones.
WiMAX promises to blanket entire cities with Web access for laptops, mobile phones and other wireless devices at speeds of up to five times faster than traditional wireless networks. Sprint, the No. 3 U.S. wireless carrier, is banking on such capabilities to reverse its slow market share decline in the past year.
Sprint CEO Dan Hesse recently told reporters that WiMAX could give Sprint and Clearwire the inside track in the race to a nationwide 4G network -- beating out larger competitors AT&T and Verizon Wireless, which are banking on the competing Long-Term Evolution (LTE) standard, which also promises faster and cheaper Internet services.
Sprint is due to report third-quarter earnings Nov. 4.
In acquiring Alltel, the country's fifth-largest mobile wireless provider, Verizon Wireless expands its markets into 34 states, including 57 rural markets that it doesn't currently serve.
Last week, the Department of Justice also approved the deal , although it stipulated that Verizon Wireless must sell off assets in 100 markets across 22 states as an anticompetitive safeguard.
To that list, the FCC added five markets where it found that Alltel significantly overlaps with Verizon Wireless, the joint venture of Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) and Vodafone (NYSE: VOD).
The divested spectrum in the 105 affected markets will be available to existing and emerging providers to spur wireless competition.
The twin approvals came in the same meeting where the commission took another notable step on the wireless front, approving the unlicensed use of the vacant spectrum that resides between TV channels known as white spaces.
White-space spectrum could be used to create a ubiquitous broadband network that would support a new class of wireless devices. The run-up to today's meeting had seen a vocal lobbying effort to delay a vote on white-space spectrum, with broadcasters warning that the devices would interfere with television transmissions.
Major tech firms such as Google and Microsoft had been advocating for freeing the white spaces as a path to introducing or enhancing advanced wireless data services.
Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) also invested in the Sprint's WiMAX venture. Under the complex arrangement, Clearwire would be reconstituted as a nationwide WiMAX provider, with Sprint holding a 51 percent stake. The existing entity of Clearwire would take a 27 percent share, with Google, Intel's Intel Capital unit, Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Bright House splitting the remaining 22 percent.

How an Artist Found A Way To Develop Cognitive Abilities With Painting
Olga is an engineer, mathematician and coder from Russia. Most of her life she has been trying to integrate her essential skills into developing marketing and innovation on the basis of math and psychology. A while ago, she started her art courses in Montreux and discovered a new approach to people’s cognitive abilities and memory.
SUISSEPIC: Where does your deep love for art come from?
Olga: I was born and brought up in a beautiful city, Saint Petersburg. I could say that I was spoiled by an easy access to the world’s art treasuries like Hermitage, the Russian museum and art collections exposed in the residential palaces outside of the city.
I graduated from a highly technical university, however we always had an opportunity to learn the history of art, orthodox iconic painting at the facultative. The walls of our institute were decorated with reproductions of Escher’s paintings. At that time, being fascinated by his work, I leant for the first time that he was also a mathematician who managed to find the synergy of these seemingly different disciplines, art and math. Naturally though, while I found it inspiring, I could never imagine that I myself could ever become more than just a passive observer and admirer of art.

SUISSEPIC: And you found your devotion in Switzerland?
Olga: Many years later, already living for a while in Switzerland, I was looking for an activity my daughter and me could engage in together. We visited a school vernissage organized by Valeria Khachaturova, a founder of the Riviera Culturelle association, a Russian art teacher, gallerist and art historian.
I was very impressed by the level and quality of work of her pupils. Imagine my surprise when Valeria told me that many of those beautiful art pieces were someone’s first ever attempt at oil painting! I immediately wanted to try it myself and started my own fascinating journey in the world of art. I learned oil painting and then discovered other painting technics too, like watercolor and acrylic pouring abstracts.
SUISSEPIC: What was so special for you?
Olga: Valeria uses a unique approach, which makes her a very special teacher. She lets us choose what we want to paint and then guides us through our first ever painting experience.
The results are impressive and very motivating for someone who never tried painting before. This first achievement is usually very encouraging, and you just can’t wait to try again with something else, like animals, flowers, mountains, villages, people, etc. It is transformational. Since I started my oil painting lessons, I see the world differently.
Photo: Olga’s personal archive
SUISSEPIC: What do you learn?
Olga: We learn complex painting technics by copying either works of famous artists or the paintings that someone brought from their vacations. Sometimes we even use our most beautiful photos. We learn “how to” very quickly. Mostly because we have this freedom to choose what we want to paint. That makes us attached to the original pictures. I feel that emotional connections help accelerate the progress. We have never heard Valeria say “No, this is too early to try for you”. Everything is possible!
SUISSEPIC: How does art helps you with your work?
Olga: Lately, I also became interested in neuroscience research exploring how the art influences people’s cognitive ability and memory. After carefully studying several scientific papers, I started to use art in my marketing work to help people memorize information better and then use this knowledge for improving people’s lives and health.
My first attempt at blending art, math and psychology in my work was a great success. It was perceived as an unusual, fun and effective way of learning market and customer data.
This case was presented at the Global business conference, World Inspiration Network, in Amsterdam last year and called “How to tell the data story through art“. I am keen on inventing new and entertaining ways of sharing information with others. I continue my work on combining seemingly unrelated things, like art and math, music and people understanding, that aims to improve memory and boost the engagement of business people in our data-overloaded world.
As an artist, I still have many challenges ahead, but in this case the journey is more important than the destination, because art is inspiring me to do things better and differently in various aspects of my life.
Inspiring women of Switzerland and Swiss border areas. Talented expats and Swiss citizens who change the world running their business, creating art, working for corporations, coaching, holding events. Happy moms, wifes, girlfriends who light up the world with creativity and beauty.

Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana
Insurance is not a concept that is unknown to the masses in India. However the richness being so unevenly distributed, some people are yet to understand the benefits of insurance. The large companies are there to insure the urban and affluent masses, but a large section of the Indian society is rural and agricultural. They neither have the education nor the means to understand the benefits of insurance. Hence they remain aloof from its benefits.
In an effort to eradicate this, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has launched a new insurance policy called Suraksha Bima Yojana. This insurance wing will cover all those who are uninsured. It will bring about a large part of the society under one umbrella insurance scheme aimed to provide them the best insurance coverage on a small sum of premium.
After the successful efforts of Jan Dhan Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana or PMSBY is aimed to provide insurance to those who are so poor that they cannot afford basic coverage against odds.
Suraksha Bima Yojana Premium
The premium is the largest part of the deciding factor. If the premiums are large then the average person won’t be able to afford them and then they will suffer losses. This is why the premiums have been kept so little that even the poorest of the poor person will be able to afford it.
The premium is just 1 rupee per month. Yes, that makes a minimal sum of Rs. 12 per annum. This amount will automatically be deducted from the account of the account holder every year in the month of June.
If by any chance, the account holder does not have a minimum of Rs. 12 in his account to be deducted on 1st June of the year, the insurance cover will be on hold. It will commence only after the sum has been paid.
The premium is supposed to remain this much for the coming few years as well.
Suraksha Bima Yojana Coverage Scope
- If any person has more than one account with the recommended bank, they can get insurance on only 1 of those accounts and not on all accounts.
- If a person wishes to discontinue with the scheme at any point of time, he or she can again rejoin it any time with the same terms and conditions as before.
- Since all schemes require a primary Know Your Customer document for registration, this one will require it too. The Aadhar Card will be the primary KYC document for this scheme.
How to settle claim in PMSBY?
You can settle a claim if you are eligible to receive the insurance.
To settle a claim in the SBY you will first need to file a claim form and submit it to the respective authorities along with your Post mortem report or Death certificate or FIR or discharge certificate and insurance certificate. Usually these are submitted at the bank.
Here are a few things you might have missed:
|1||Rs. 2 lakh death benefits||Age limit: 18 to 70 years|
|2||Up to Rs. 2 lakh for irreparable damage of both limbs||Should have consent letter for auto debit|
|3||Up to Rs. 1 lakh for 1 limb or eye||Should be having a savings bank account|

If you have missing or severely damaged teeth, then you may think about getting dental implants. Although one of the most popular solutions for a smile makeover, dental implants can also help to restore the function of your teeth so that you can enjoy eating, drinking, speaking, and laughing without having to spare a second thought about your teeth.
In order for dental implants to be fitted properly, preliminary dental appointments and the actual treatment process will need to take place. If you are one of the 9-15% of people in the U.S. that suffer from severe anxiety or phobia about visiting the dentist, then dental implants may seem like an impossible dream. However, with sedation dentistry even the most nervous of patients can enjoy the unique benefits of high quality dental implants.
What is Sedation Dentistry?
Many people believe that sedation is purely about eliminating pain from a procedure, but it can also eliminate the emotional distress of dental appointments.
Although people who have been sedated feel no pain during their dental appointment, the focus is primarily on making the patient as calm, relaxed, and comfortable as possible so that the dentist can perform the necessary treatments to the highest standard.
There are multiple levels of sedation available, and which is right for you will be determined at your consultation appointment.
- Sedation by inhalation. The lowest level of sedation is usually administered using a mask placed over your nose, which is attached to a tank of nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas. Breathing nitrous oxide will completely relax you, but you will be awake and coherent for the duration of your treatment.
- Oral sedation. The second tier of sedation comes in the form of a pill or tablet, which is taken a short time before your procedure. It is also the most commonly used method of sedation for dental treatments. The exact result varies from person to person, but most patients find that they are extremely drowsy during the procedure. Some may feel like they are dozing off.
- Intravenous sedation. At Vero Dental Spa, we do not offer intravenous sedation. However, sedation drugs that are administered intravenously provide a deeper and effective level of sedation. While you are still conscious, you might not realize you are conscious, and you will forget the entire experience.

John has no interest in parliamentary affairs. “Feck politics, amen”, he suggests. His particular gripe is against the ‘rules and all kinds of feckology that came in when he and his wife tried to set up a small caravan park in the 1980s. One can see why he got on with Brendan Behan - 'an ordinary working man like the rest of us.’

Netent presents the story of the young vampiress Amilia who is determined to find the hidden treasure belonging to her ancestors, fallen victim to vampire hunters years earlier. Armed with her deadly crossbow and a thirst for blood she will stop at nothing to retrieve what's hers including the Demon who now guards it. Blood Suckers II is the 5-reel, 3-row and 25 fixed paylines slot with payline wins that can reach 10,000 coins!
With a vampire theme, this slot seemingly is perfect for fans of the horror genre. To this end, the game uses a darker background and if you look closely from behind the symbols on the transparent reels then you will see the stone carved image of the demon to really set the atmosphere. To the left is the full length animated Amilia, with crossbow in hand thirsty for what's hers! The medium paying symbols include headshots of four ancestral vampires with the lower paying symbols made up of the heart, spade, clubs and diamond poker suit symbols forged from different coloured gems. The sound effects reinforce the darker theme of the slot and include a rather ominous tune combined with the echoes of doors opening, faint sinister laugh and howling wind. The game is enhanced by additional sound effects and mild animation as winning paylines are created and features are revealed.
Wild, scatter, free spins with 3x multiplier and bonus feature
Amongst the features that can turn up in this castle on any one of the reels is the wild symbol that can substitute for all but the scatter and bonus symbols. The wild is also the highest paying symbol with 2, 3, 4 or 5 forming their own payline rewarding you with 5, 200, 2,000 or 10,000 coins. The aforementioned blood red rose scatter will credit you with 50, 100, 625 or 2,500 coins when appearing in sets of 2, 3, 4 or 5 anywhere on the spaces. What's more is that three or more of these scatter symbols will unleash the 10 Blood Rose Free Spins Feature where all payline and scatter wins are applied a 3x multiplier. If you are lucky to land 3 Bonus symbols from left to right during the main game then you will open the door to the treasure room in the Hidden Treasure Bonus Game. If the door is opened with 4 bonus symbols then coins win have a 2x multiplier applied. If you are fortunate enough to open the door with 5 bonus symbols then your coin wins will have a 3x multiplier applied.
To determine your coin win you must choose from amongst the coffins and chests to reveal either a scatter, key or demon symbol. The scatter keys can be collected with 3 unlocking the 10 Blood Rose Free Spins Feature at the end of the feature. If you find a key symbol then you advance to the next stage and by collecting it at the last level then your reward is 1,000 coins multiplied by the bet level. Remember that if you reveal the demon then the Bonus Feature ends! Finally, the slot also includes two Random Features. The first is the Scatter Shot Feature that can add an additional scatter to trigger the 10 free games and Bonus Shot Feature that presents you with a Bonus symbol overlay on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd reel.
In time for Halloween
Blood Suckers II slot has a theoretical return to player (RTP) of 96.94% with stakes that may range from €0.01 to €250. The top payline win is 10,000 coins but you can win 2,000, 500 200 or lower as well. The currency equivalent is equal to the number of coins multiplied by the coin value. This is a horror themed slot that is supported by fantastic graphics and audio effects along with features that will make this a fun game to play. If you find it fun to be scared, visit the casino today to get started!

Romance is back in the driving seat after parking bosses agreed to move the date of a public consultation.
Buckinghamshire County Council (BCC) had planned to hold a drop-in session on Valentine’s Day to consider plans to introduce on-street parking charges for Marlow town centre.
But, following a meeting between representatives from BCC, Wycombe District Council and Marlow Town Council on Wednesday, January 17, the date has been changed to Thursday, February 15.
The Mayor of Marlow, Cllr Jocelyn Towns, said: “This was an historic day that we have fought for and we’re delighted that we now have a forum to move forward.
“It’s been a long time coming, but now we have started the ball rolling, we will work closely with both councils to find a way forward for Marlow. The other councils listened to our issues, and I have great faith in this team.”
The consultation is due to run Friday, February 9-Saturday, March 10.

"This starts off with a super fun scene with the gorgeous Spanish redhead Amarna Miller and busty Belgian Lula Boobs. The fiery redhead Amarna was incredible, and if you're a fan of gingers like I am, you'll really love this scene. We also feature some lovely American performers in the second scene: Cameron Canada and gorgeous Kleio Valentien, with some great hardcore anal with Erik Everhard. Also you don't want to miss the four-way scene with Dominica Phoenix, another redhead Linda Sweet, as well as my friend Markus Dupree and myself. Both women do a great job in this scene, especially the sexy Dominica"-Rocco Siffredi
Armana, Lula and Rocco
Gingers fans pay attention, we got two lovely redheads in this one, and Lula has big boobs, so it's a very clever name she chose. Armana has her on a leash and throws out some commands. Some fun with Lula's giant mountains, before they shove her face in Armana's booty. And because she's been so good, Rocco has a special little treat for Lula, after a few face slaps, his cock is out and awaits some attention from the lovely redheads, and some nice double teaming follows. Lula continues to be the center of attention, as the dominating continues, as he slides in from behind for some doggy. A little time with her pussy, before a little spit is added and some anal follows, with Armana being there for some cleanup as Rocco dives in and out of her ass. Starting to wonder if Armana is going to get more involved in the scene, as the focus continues to be on Lula, but not too worried, considering the long run time of this movie. My worries go away, as Armana lathers his cock with some spit and then climbs on and dances her ass on his cock. There should be no surprise that Rocco wants her to spin around and get a nice look at her booty as the pole riding continues. After some time away, Lula makes her way back into the scene, with some time in Armana's ass, before she gets some time with Rocco's meat in her mouth and pussy. After more dominating of Lula, he throws her aside and it's back to some more pole riding from Armana. A long jerk session before the sweaty Rocco gives Armana some love in her mouth.
Kleio, Cameron, and Erik (SPOTLIGHT SCENE)
Just wow, as these ladies fill up the screen, and followed by Cameron's ass as Kleio adores and plays with it. And as soon as Erik enters the scene, the action starts, spending some time in both ladies' pussy, warming them up and getting their heart rates up, and that's not the only thing that is up right now. As Kleio hovers over Cameron, Erik slides in for some energetic and intense doggy, before moving onto Cameron, as the intensity continues. He teases her before sliding inside her, as she lets out a few loud moans with each thrust. I should not be surprised that this tryst is in the running for spotlight scene already, the cast alone tells you all you need to know. And if you weren't jealous of Erik just yet, how about having Kleio ride his pole as Cameron and her booty are smothering your face, poor guy, right. And if you haven't already filled the cup, Cameron let's Erik give her booty hole some love while he strums her pussy. She creams on his cock and Kleio is there to clean it up before Cameron is right back on his cock, getting her ass filled. Kleio joins the anal party, as she climbs on and guides him inside her booty hole, and he quickly picks up the pace. Beautiful blondes, you got some booty and tits to enjoy, throw in some anal and you got yourself a great scene, I would expect to see this one once AVN nominations come out next year. As the fun continues Cameron is gaping nicely as Kleio adds some spit to the mix, while shoving her tongue deep down the gaping hole. And she returns the favor as Keio is getting faced fucked. A quick doggy session with Cameron before he gives Kleio a cumshot in the mouth, but is more than willing to share with Cameron.
Linda, Dominica, Markus, and Rocco
Well after an amazing scene, let's just hope this one can live up to the energy from the last one, but I guess it'd be nice to have some time to gather myself after watching the previous scene. And as we get things going with this one, some POV action as Linda is getting hot and horny, rubbing and shoving her fingers deep in her pussy, before venturing into her ass. He grabs her by the hair and leads her to the hard cock wanting some attention, as the facial dominating begins. He slides in for some missionary, continuing to give her face a few slaps and being very dominant over her. As things are getting hot and heavy, a younger couple enter the room and the dominating of Linda continues. Dominica bends over and gets some tongue action from Linda and Markus, really getting the kitty to purr. Dominica finds a nice but plug to stretch out her ass, while Linda is getting a fistful of Markus in her ass. Out from behind the camera, and dives right into Dominica giving her ass a tongue full and her cheeks a few slaps. She feverishly helps him out of his clothes and goes to work on his cock, including some ass and ball love, which both guys get. He fingers bangs Dominica's ass getting her to cream and squirt all over the place, and then make her lick it up. They take turns dominating her gaping ass, followed by some double stuffing of cocks in her mouth, before we get teased for some potential DP action as she rides Rocco's cock in her ass. The teases does lead to some DP action as Linda is left to herself to watch the fun. It turns back into a nice foursome as Rocco is back to work on Linda, getting her to squirt all over and makes her lick it up. I will say that this one has brought some great intensity and energy, it works much better when all four are involved, but I can't really complain about the DP action as well. The girls receive some seed in their mouth and are more than willing to share with each other as this tryst comes to an end.
Vanda, Norma, and Christian
Dressed for a party, perhaps a sexy masquerade party. Norma gets a little more attention in the bonus scene. Vanda comes in dressed in a sexy outfit, and quickly has all kinds of attention before her stud comes in and continues to enjoy her luscious booty, as Christian dives his tongue in her booty hole. She returns the favor with some cock worshipping, going balls deep on his cock. They move closer to Norma and let her join in the fun, as she helps in the stroke fest on his cock. Vanda bends over Norma, as Christian slides in for some doggy and then leads Norma to his cock, followed by some nice double teaming from the ladies, which includes some ass licking as his cock is getting swallowed. He follows Vanda over to the pink sofa, and mounts her for some pussy and anal love. Would have loved to see Norma be more involved in this scene, other than a mouth to clean off his cock every once in awhile, good news if you want more, check out the bonus scene. he gives Vanda some custard in her mouth, followed by a little more attention from Norma before the scene comes to an end.
Some BTS during the closing credits
As we wind down another review, it's time to gather my thoughts and give a final verdict on this one. As I stated in the review, I was really blown away by the Kleio, Cameron and Erik scene, and I have to say that the following scene was a nice one as well. But I just wish I had the same love for the other two scenes. I would normally give this one a rent it, but since the spotlight scene was so awesome, like AVN worthy awesome, I am going to give this one a RECOMMENDED to make sure you don't miss out on that great scene.

WASHINGTON, D.C. | April 13, 2012
On Tuesday, April 17 at 10:00 a.m.
, the U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce, chaired by Rep. John Kline (R-MN), will hold a legislative hearing on the Workforce Investment Improvement Act of 2012 (H.R. 4297)
. The hearing will take place in room 2175 of the Rayburn House Office Building.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are 3.5 million job openings nationwide. Even though 12.7 million individuals are searching for work, employers continue to experience difficulties finding a skilled workforce. The nation’s broken network of job training programs is not providing workers the skills necessary to fill the demands of employers.
Since the start of the 112th Congress, the House Education and the Workforce Committee has held a series of hearings to examine the challenges facing the workforce investment system. In response, Representatives Virginia Foxx (R-NC), Howard “Buck” McKeon (R-CA) and Joe Heck (R-NV) introduced the Workforce Investment Improvement Act of 2012
) to strengthen job training and employment assistance for workers and reauthorize the Workforce Investment Act of 1998.
Among the policy reforms included in H.R. 4297, the legislation will consolidate 27 redundant and ineffective programs into one flexible Workforce Investment Fund, eliminate 19 federal mandates dictating who can serve on local workforce investment boards, and require the Department of Labor to conduct an independent evaluation of its programs every five years.
Tuesday’s legislative hearing will provide will members an opportunity to discuss and gather expert feedback on the legislation.

Directed by H. C. Potter
| This movie, based on a hit
Broadway play, showcases Whitey's
Lindy Hoppers dancing the most famous and most
spectacular Lindy Hop scene ever preserved on film.
The dancing was choreographed by Frankie
The scene starts when http://www.savoystyle.com/instruction.htmlmusicians Slim Galliard and Slam Stewart, in workmen's garb, discover some musical instruments while supposedly delivering a package backstage. They play a few tentative notes, and a spontaneous, swinging jam starts cooking . More backstage "workers" join the jam, including Rex Stuart on trumpet and C.C. Johnson on the ''Bongo drums''. The music builds in excitement until, as if out of nowhere, four Lindy Hopping couples, dressed in overalls and uniforms, swing out into the cameras at a frenetic tempo. Each couple executes amazing acrobatic shines. Then the group unites for precision ensemble work filmed at an angle that emphasizes legwork and speed.
The choreography and the dancing are as near to perfect Lindy Hop as you can see anywhere! The scene will take your breath away no matter how many times you see it. It is no wonder that this film was responsible for the simultaneous revival of Lindy Hop in Sweden and Britain in the 1980's.
There is also a short scene with Dean Collins and Martha Raye dancing Lindy Hop to the tune Watch The Birdie.
An interesting sidenote: Whitey's Lindy Hoppers' routine in Hellzapoppin' was originally danced and choreographed to different music, namely "Jumping at the Woodside". Universal Studios had a composer who was on staff write new music for the routine. Seen here is a reconstruction of the routine with the original music: Thanks to Dmitry Smolin.
of the full film Hellzapoppin' is available at SavoyStyle Swing Dance
Written and researched by Judy Pritchett with Frankie Manning. May be reproduced only with explicit written permission.

Designed by Kokuyo in 1959, the Sketch Book was originally made for engineers to use in their field surveys. It has a hardcover, making it suitable for note taking during work outdoors as the hardcover provides a surface to write upon. The paper is smooth and fountain pen friendly, and features a 3mm grid for easy drawing of diagrams or list making. Many comparisons have been drawn between Kokuyo’s Sketch Book and the popular Field Notes brand of notebooks, but we really like the Sketch Book’s hardcover, brightly colored covers, gold lettering and overall classic look.
It's slim and compact and it fits to pocket on a working uniform, and its hard cover enables a standing writing outdoors. These features were highly popular among field workers and on-site professionals. It became a standard item for construction site since the late 1950s.
For the 60th anniversary, Kokuyo releases limited-edition with foil pressing that has a motif of the animals with a pocket (the marsupials).
The anniversary Transit Book features Echidna. A great digger Echidna carries a Transit Book in her pouch. As it’s got detailed transit-survey lines, it is useful for not only to enter the survey results but also to manage her schedule and money.
- Dimensions: 165mm x 95mm (6.6" x 3.8")
- 40 sheets
- More 60th anniversary editions: Every Book, Level Book, Sketch Book, Offset Book, Transit Book and Note Book
