Friday on Newsmax TV's "The Steve Malzberg Show," while discussing recent reports of four MSNBC anchors not paying their income taxes and Hillary Clinton's potential quid pro quo through Clinton Foundation donations, as detailed in the new book, "Clinton Cash," Breitbart News editor-at-large John Nolte harkened back to the media protecting Bill Clinton from Juanita Broaddrick's charges of rape, as shown in the flashback video.
Nolte said, "This is typical on the left—whether it is Hillary Clinton railing against Citizens United while she is bragging about the fact she is going to raising 2.5 billion dollars—whether it is a feminist embracing Bill Clinton, who treats woman like meat. As long as your politics are correct, the left, and of course that includes the mainstream media, does not care if you live the change you want. You can be as big a hypocrite as you want if you're a good feminist. You can be accused of rape and the media and left, they will protect you."

Button Mill®
Creating Button Mill is a labour of love. The cheese starts life in our dairy at Wilson Fields Farm, in miniature, artisan basins, which produce small...
An outstanding goats cheese handmade at Butler's Ravens Oak Dairy, Kidderton Ash is log shaped and features a delicate creamy flavour.
Kidderton Ash looks special from the outset. It is sprinkled with ash prior to maturing which promotes the growth of its fluff white coat but also produces a fabulous visual effect that can be appreciated when the cheese is sliced. The contrast of textures can be enjoyed from the soft white coat, the firmer charcoal ash layer and then the soft luscious goats' cheese in the centre. The velvety texture of the cheese when young becomes creamier as it matures.
Made at Wilson Fields Farm with pasteurised goats' milk from Nicola Butler's pedigree herd.Made by Henry & family on Throstle Nest Farm (See our story) Print/Save page as PDF

Well it's been a funny old week consisting of me being shortlisted for Best Food Blog in the Cosmo Blog Awards. Lets just take a wee moment to digest that……THE COSMO BLOG AWARDS!!! I think along with the lovely House of Herby we're possibly the only Scottish blogs on the list. I am still super excited and buzzing about it a week later. In other news I am super sick! No more needs to be said on that I think cause honestly it's disgusting.
The countdown is now well and truly on the Games and to me it feels like the city is vibrating with excitement….or that could just be me. During the fortnight I have something on every day so it 's unlikely I will be eating out that much in places that will be new to review, so there won't be much blog activity. Obviously you'll still find me on twitter doing hundreds of commonwealth selfies and practically a minute by minute account of my 'Games Experience'. Like I always say if it's not documented on Social Media it never really happened.
Look out for a post coming on Tuesday that I am super excited about – it's just a regular post but I am excited about the people I have gotten involved in it.
Have a great week kids.x

Now the Dole people are saying to put bananas in the refrigerator if they are ripening too fast. The peel will darken but the insides will remain firm. For a superior snack, try this quick banana malt, which requires that bananas be put in the freezer. It`s delicious.

In 2011, Widelab introduced its first Aurender creation, the S10 music server. The company was founded by music enthusiast and engineer, Harry Lee. His goal was to create an upgraded music server to meet his ultra-high standards. Lee and his team of engineers helped create both a worldwide brand and product sensation that has inspired a number of premium audio equipment.
Aurender has since merged with TVLogic to create and manufacture products worthy of the most critical audiophiles. The entire team's passion is to build the line with the same detail and performance as it's original S10. Now, it is considered the premier choice in reference music systems.
The company has since won numerous awards including the 2016 Brutus Award for its W20 and 2011 Product of the Year for its original music server.
All Aurender products are engineered and manufactured at its facility in South Korea. Product design and strategic marketing are done in California.

Wonder Woman (2017),An Amazon princess comes to the world of Man to become the greatest of the female superheroes.
Ponder Woman is a 2017 American hero film in light of the DC Comics character of a similar name, disseminated by Warner Bros. Pictures. It is the fourth portion in the DC Extended Universe.

Ponder Woman is the second real life dramatic film highlighting the main character, following her introduction in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.[5] Jenkins' part as chief makes her the principal female executive of a studio hero movie.

After American pilot Steve Trevor (Pine) crashes seaward of the island and is safeguarded by Diana, he educates her concerning the continuous World War. She at that point abandons her home so as to end the contention, getting to be Wonder Woman all the while. Advancement for the film started in 1996, with Jenkins marking on to coordinate in 2015. Essential photography started on November 21, 2015, with shooting occurring in the United Kingdom, France, and Italy before wrapping up on May 9, 2016, the 123rd birthday of the maker, William Moulton Marston.

Thai Chicken Satay
I think everybody has their own idea of what the perfect satay skewer tastes like.
For me nothing beats home made and after years of trying to steal this recipe off of a friend, I think I have finely managed to figure it out. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!
Preparation time
Cooking time
For 4 Person(s)
- 1 lb skinless, boneless chicken breasts (if you prefer, leg meat would work great too)
- 1/3 Cup Soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp Lime juice
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Grated ginger
- 1 tsp Red hot chilli pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp water
- 3/4 cup Coconut milk
- 1 tbsp Peanut butter
Thai Chicken Satay Directions
- Cut chicken breast into 3/8 inch wide strips crossways and place in a shallow glass dish.
- Combine the soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Reserve 3 tablespoons of the mixture. Add water to the remaining mixture. pour over the chicken and toss so the pieces are coated all over. Cover with plastic wrap and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for anytime from 30 mins to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. The longer it is left the better the taste.
- Place the skewers on the grill. Grill the skewers ,uncovered over medium - hot coals for 6 - 8 mins (making sure the chicken is cooked all the way through), turning half way through grilling time. Serve with the warm peanut sauce for dipping.Soak 8 skewers (about 10 - 12 inch long) in cold water for 20 min to stop them from burning, drain.
- Meanwhile, for the peanut sauce, combine the coconut milk, the reserved marinade and the peanut butter in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered for 2 - 4 minutes until sauce thickens. Keep the sauce warm.Drain chicken, reserving the marinade. Weave 3 - 4 chicken strips onto each skewer. Brush the chicken with the reserved marinade. Discard the remaining marinade.

Join Ashley Kennedy for an in-depth discussion in this video Working with luma keys, part of Editing with Composites and Effects in Avid Media Composer.
While the SpectraMatte effect is the most effective chroma keyer, sometimes a…luma keyer is a better option.…You use a luma key if the area that you want to key out is based on luminance values.…That is, if you can key out either bright or dark areas.…Further, you can work with this key in 3D just like SpectraMatte. Let's take a look.…Now there are two ways that you can access the 3D luma keyer.…One way is to put on the 3D Warp and then open up the Effect Editor,…and come down to Foreground and switch your key, to Luma Key.…
And now we're working in the Luma Keyer, but we also have 3D space.…And I'm just going to remove that. I want to show you the other way.…If you go to Key, you can see Luma Key, and apply that.…And right now we're not in 3D, but if you promote it to 3D, we end up in the same place.…So two ways to do the same thing, but let's take a look at what we have down…here in the Foreground.…You want to sample the background color just like we did in SpectraMatte.…
So I'm going to disable Foreground and then I'm going to come in to Color,…

10.12.2013 - Co-operatives and Mutuals
Mr Gareth Thomas (Harrow West) (Lab/Co-op):
At the outset, let me declare that I am one of the 6 million ordinary members of the Co-op Group. I have accounts with Nationwide, and belong to the M for Money credit union in Harrow and the Rainbow Saver credit union. I am privileged to chair the Co-operative party and to be one of its MPs in this great House.
Unusually, the co-operative movement has been in the news on a sustained basis of late. Absent from much of the coverage has been any sense of the powerful contribution co-operatives and mutuals make in our communities. They could and should, with the right support, make even more of a difference, and it is on that point that I shall focus.
It would be wrong not to acknowledge the challenges faced by the biggest UK co-operative, the Co-op Group. I welcome the progress the group board and its new management team, led by Euan Sutherland, have made in addressing the problems the Co-op bank faces. There are, no doubt, long-term lessons to be drawn, not least on the checks necessary for those in key positions and on how mutuals raise finance. Other reviews and inquiries will focus on those issues, so I will not dwell on them.
The co-operative movement has had its challenges: wartime discrimination by the Government in the first world war over call-up arrangements; Neville Chamberlain's efforts to get the Co-op divis axed in the 1930s; and, more latterly, the Thatcherite demutualisation of building societies and friendly insurers, the majority of which have not turned out well. The movement survived all those challenges and continued to grow. I have no doubt that it will survive and prosper after facing its current challenges.
The co-op sector in Britain grew by 20% between 2008 and 2012, while the economy as a whole shrank by 2%. Co-operative businesses in the UK together have a turnover of more than £37 billion a year. Those headline economic figures are striking, but it is the often unheralded work that co-operatives and mutuals do in our local communities that deserve a much greater focus. From the first store set up by the Rochdale Pioneers to the more than 6,000 co-operatives in the UK today, co-operative businesses have been at the heart of our communities for more than 150 years. Today, we have co-operative schools, farms, credit unions and shops; and co-operative housing, co-operative energy and even co-operative pubs. In London, if the Minister will forgive me for being parochial for a moment, co-operatives employ more than 8,000 people and have a collective turnover of more than £750 million.
Of the nearly 700 registered co-operatives in London, I draw particular inspiration from the four housing co-operatives established by Coin Street Community Builders to help to meet Londoners' need for affordable housing; part of an ambitious refurbishment plan for London's South Bank, including the famous Oxo tower. With the dream of home ownership out of reach for too many people, housing co-operatives could provide a new and innovative solution for a new generation. About 10% of the citizens of some European countries live in housing co-operatives, compared with just 0.6% of people in the UK. I gently suggest to the House, therefore, that housing co-operatives could make a much greater contribution to tackling our housing problems.
Perhaps the Minister, like me, might draw inspiration from the example of Brixton Energy, also in London, which comprises three energy co-operatives—community-owned solar power schemes taking inspiration perhaps from the better known Baywind and Westmill energy co-operatives in Cumbria and Oxfordshire. The Brixton solar-power initiative has created co-operatively and community-owned renewable energy, the revenues from which stay within the local community. It is an innovative energy solution leading the way in generating sustainable sources of energy and it is jointly owned and operated by people in the community for their mutual benefit. As democratic enterprises, they operate with a one member, one vote policy and are surely a great example of the kind of mixed economy of energy ownership that we need to challenge the big six and move on from today's problems in our energy market.
The Minister and the House might also draw inspiration from the success of credit unions, which in many of our communities are increasingly taking on the Wongas of this world. They provide affordable credit, empowering many of the poorest people in our communities and helping to retain funds in the local economy. In Leeds, for example, Salford university found a £10 benefit for the local economy for every £1 invested in the credit union, and indeed the Department for Work and Pensions independent evaluation of the financial inclusion growth fund established by the previous Government found that the total loans made by credit unions under the scheme between 2006 and 2011 totalled £175 million and saved loan recipients between £119 million and £135 million in interest, which they would have had to pay had they taken out a high-cost alternative.
The London mutual credit union provides loans, savings and current accounts and insurance. It recognises that there is a market for short-term loans, but charges an interest rate of only 27% for a 30-day loan—a world away from the 5,600% annual percentage rate typical of the payday loan sharks against whom my hon. Friend the Member for Walthamstow (Stella Creasy) has rightly led the charge. Crucially, it also offers access to basic financial education and services, helping people to gain greater long-term control over their personal finances. Co-operatives and mutuals offer to local communities a crucial part of the mixed economy that our country surely needs. Of course we need a vibrant private sector and certainly a strong third sector, but surely we also need continued growth in the number of co-operatives and mutuals and their economic success.
To be fair to the Government, they have continued to support the strengthening and expansion of the credit union sector, although I hope they can be persuaded to be bolder on the idea of a military credit union. I draw the Minister's attention to the example of the United States, where the biggest credit union in the world is Navy Federal Credit Union, the credit union for the American military. It has 4 million members and over $55 billion in assets. I gently suggest to the House that it is surely time to consider again how a British armed forces credit union could be made a reality to help our soldiers, sailors and air force personnel in our own communities. A British equivalent could help to protect service families from the scourge of payday loan companies and begin to tackle the worrying levels of financial difficulties experienced by some of our veterans.
The co-operative movement itself in the UK continues to support and encourage the development of new co-operatives and mutuals as part of the response to the needs of particular local communities. The excellent Co-ops UK—the "trade association" of the co-op movement in the UK—and the Co-op Group support the co-op enterprise hub. Examples of co-operatives that have been established and are running well thanks to their support include from Bristol—the Minister may be aware of this—Bristol ferry boats. In 2012, the previous operators went into administration and a group of determined locals approached the enterprise hub for support to launch a community share issue to raise the £250,000 needed to bring the ferries into community ownership. The share offer closed in July of this year having exceeded its target. Some 850 local people invested, therefore enabling the ferry service to continue, providing—crucially—employment for 20 local people.
There is a risk that I have appeared too urban in the examples I have offered, so perhaps I can draw attention to the example of—I hope Welsh listeners will forgive my pronunciation—Tyn-Y-Capel, an historic pub in North Wales that reopened in 2012 as a result of the efforts of a determined group of locals who formed a co-operative to resurrect their local. A community share offer raised nearly £40,000, enough to take over the leasehold of the pub and, again, as a result of support from the enterprise hub. The new co-operative is developing the pub's potential as a community venue and I am told that numerous community events have been held there since its re-opening.
The last example I want to offer the House of the co-op movement's initiatives to help local community co-operatives to continue to be established is Aberdeen Textiles and Workwear Services in Scotland. I understand that the co-operative was established in October last year, after the Remploy factory in Aberdeen closed down. It saved some eight jobs, with the co-operative successfully retaining most of Remploy's former customers up there, as well as gaining new ones, too.
In football, too, the Co-op party's original idea of fans' co-operatives—now known as supporters trusts—has taken off in a big way since it was first suggested 10 or so years ago, from Swansea City in the premiership, with fans in the club's boardroom, and Portsmouth more recently, down to local clubs in north London. For example, Enfield Town football club is owned by some 300 members, who keep the club running and elect their own board. As a result, they have kept a vital community asset going in Enfield.
Co-operatives and mutuals can make an enormous difference in our communities. With the right legislative support, access to sensible finance and shrewd Government encouragement, they could do even more. I therefore have a series of questions that I hope the Minister will begin to address today—if not, I will be happy to hear his answers in due course. What further support might the Government offer to encourage the growth of energy co-operatives? Will he seek to emulate the US, where 12% of the population get their energy from a co-operative, or Germany, where the figure is one in three people? How about a target to push the level of community energy ownership a stage further? What steps will he or other Ministers take to encourage local economic partnerships to support and develop co-operative, mutual or social enterprise businesses, creating local employment and growth in their communities, perhaps as part of future regional growth fund bids?
There has been some disappointment in the co-operative movement that the social investment tax relief, which was announced in the autumn statement and welcomed by many, will not cover investment in most co-operative societies or community credit unions. One of the biggest challenges facing co-operatives today is the ability to access finance to support growth, as I am sure the Minister is aware. Considering the important contribution that co-operatives and mutuals make to local communities,
I hope that Ministers might be persuaded, even at this late stage, to intercede with the Treasury on this important point.
The Government have encouraged Britain's banks to publish data on local lending patterns. I understand that the first comprehensive set of postcode lending data will be made available in January. I hope it will begin to expose the lending deserts that we know exist in the UK, where access to affordable credit for individuals and, crucially, to small and medium-sized businesses is particularly bad. I offer the Minister the example of Thamesmead in south London, which is an area of 55,000 households with no bank. Indeed, the nearest branch is some 35 to 45 minutes away by bus. Not surprisingly, there are high levels of payday loan usage and a high take-up of "Provy" loans. What provisions will Ministers put in place, once those data are made available, to encourage banks to work much better with local organisations, co-operatives, mutuals, social enterprises and even charities to respond to the needs of their areas?
What actions will Ministers take to encourage housing co-operatives? Will the Minister instruct the Homes and Communities Agency to allocate a proportion of its apparently considerable capital funds for new affordable housing to support housing co-operatives? Will the Minister particularly look at the suggestion advocated by my hon. Friend the Member for Stalybridge and Hyde (Jonathan Reynolds) that the Government adopt the approach taken by the Welsh Assembly and recognise co-operative housing in law, as it is in much of the rest of Europe? What action will Ministers take to encourage lottery operators to support a new strand of community resilience projects to help make start-up support available for new co-operative and mutual initiatives?
Those are the ideas and questions that I have gently offered to the House today, and I hope they will be seen by the Minister as a genuine attempt to encourage new ways of driving continued growth in the co-operative and mutual sector—a sector that I believe offers considerable benefit not only to my community, but to communities across the UK.
28.11.2013 - "Beyond the Big 6"
The House Magazine
Beyond the Big 6
Unlike in a number of other European countries the generation of energy in Britain is overwhelmingly in the hands of the Big Six energy firms. Ownership matters and the increasing evidence of ever rising prices, growing profit margins and rising wages at the top of energy businesses are further encouragement to the idea that a more mixed economy of energy owners is needed.
Smaller energy generating businesses including a greater number of energy co-ops are essential if the market is to change. To lead that transformation of our energy market we need imaginative, determined local councils willing to help champion such 'Change Towns'.
In Germany 1 in 3 people get their energy from an energy co-operative (or through their own generation for example through solar panels). In the US 42 million people belong to energy co-operatives. More specifically in Copenhagen more than 8,000 residents are investors in the Middelgrunden Wind Turbine Co-operative which part owns a 20 turbine wind farm generating energy for local people and profits for the city while the town of Schonou near Freiburg in Southern Germany set up their own energy co-operative to buy the local electricity grid when the licence to run it came up for renewal. It now supplies energy to more than 115,000 households.
Could the same situation happen in the UK? It certainly could and there has been growing interest from thinktanks, politicians and the public alike in co-operative energy schemes such as Baywind in Cumbria or Westmill Farm in Oxfordshire.
The social entrepreneurs and enthusiasts involved in such schemes highlight the time it takes, the red tape and challenge of finding funding for feasibility studies as difficulties that politicians need to help find solutions to.
To really make a significant move forward it will require local councils to support such change, to properly consider it in their regeneration and housing planning.
In the Co-operative Party we have considered the idea of 'Change Towns' concentrating some of the limited government funding for community energy schemes to support co-operative energy pioneers, working with imaginative councils to turn ambition for locally owned energy solutions into feasible, effective schemes that local people want to get behind.
It is local councils that can help to release the potential of communities' desire to control basic fundamental services such as energy and power. The strength of the co-operative model is that it helps to ensure that those who control a service are held to account for their actions by their consumers or members of the co-operative.
In turn 'Change Towns' would become areas of community energy expertise and would inevitably help to attract new employment, encourage more social action and facilitate a wider, more diverse mix of energy businesses in local energy markets.
Reforming the energy market requires a more diverse mix of energy businesses. Energy co-operatives are essential to that process and 'Change Towns' could help to focus interest and effort in a US/Germany style expansion of community energy ownership.

04.10.2012 - Gareth Thomas MP's speech to Labour Party Conference
To watch Gareth Thomas MP's speech, click here. Alternatively, below is a text copy of Gareth's speech to conference.
Conference, banking and the City have become bywords in the public's mind for excess and scandal. Former Chief Executive of Barclays Bank, Bob Diamond, is said to have earned £120m.
We've had interest rate fixing. We've seen the terrible miss-selling of bad financial products to small businesses and the outrageous fleecing of ordinary customers through payment protection insurance. With 20,000 complaints about the banks a day in the last six months alone. As Ed Miliband and Ed Balls have rightly said it's time for real change.
Like you, we in the Co-op Party champion the ambition of a banking industry with ethics of responsibility, co-operation and stewardship at its heart. And in this UN International Year of the Co-operative, we celebrate the Co-op Bank, expanding across the UK as an example of what's possible.
Longer term the ongoing outrage is the steady retreat from too many of our communities by Britain's biggest banks. The businessman looking to his bank for a loan to expand, looking for the bank manager who knows the area, what's possible, what good investment looks like; but finding there is no such person anymore.
It's just a computer and someone in a telephone call centre far away making the decision.
No wonder that bank lending has dropped every month since the election. It isn't just business that suffers when bank branches close. Too many, far too many of our poorest citizens are vulnerable when a branch closes: The elderly woman who doesn't use the internet wanting to go and talk through the small loan she needs to adapt her home; the single parent whose debts are spiralling.
As bank branches have closed – the government has egged the banks on. Tory Ministers telling us that the banks have to cut costs and that branches will have to close. So the legal loan sharks move in. It's one of our MPs, Stella Creasy, a Labour and Co-op MP, who has led the charge on legal loan sharks. Home credit payday lenders – charging £82 in interest and collection charges for every £100 they lend.
4 million people are expected to take out a payday loan in the coming months. The vast majority taking out loans for the basics. To cover food, rent or bills. Those trying to bridge the gap between now and payday and finding each month that the gap widens and the problem gets bigger. It's those people that the Cameron and Osborne's policies are hitting hardest; forced into the hands of highest cost lenders because there just aren't enough low cost lenders around.
Thamesmead is in South-East London. It was built in an effort to cope with London's housing crisis in the 1960s. It is home now to 55,000 households and there isn't one bank branch. Not one. The nearest is a 30 – 40 minute bus journey away. But the payday lenders are thriving there.
We need a new commitment from the next generation of banking leaders. To work in all areas. To work in all communities. If they won't lend to some areas or have a bank branch in some communities then they should work with others: with community 'banks'; with credit unions; with new mutuals. To ensure that whole areas like Thamesmead aren't cut off from affordable finance.
If you join the Co-op Party you don't have to wait for 2015 and the next Labour government. You can be part of starting to deliver banking reform now:
•When you go into your local bank branch ask them whether they're working with the local credit union?
•If you're a student – ask whether the university and the student union's banks are working with local mutuals?
•If you're a councillor ask the council's banks if they're working with local community banks?
And if they're not working in your community, then demand they do or you'll move your money. We need to inject a bit more co-operation, a bit more mutuality into the way the banks do business.
The biggest credit union in the United States is Navy Federal. A lender run by its customers – all members of the US armed forces. A co-operative – democratically electing its top bankers. The Credit Union was founded by its members because soldiers returning from war were unable to access affordable credit. Payday lenders used to target military bases trying to hook American sailors and soldiers with their high cost financial services. Navy Federal now has 4 million members and over $50 billion of assets – with branches in every military base in the US offering a very direct and personal service to its members.
We too need to aim for that level of success and personal service for customers – co-operators and members.
But friends we need reform of other markets too. In energy; the ever rising prices, the big bonuses, the aggressive miss-selling of overblown energy deals. We need instead more community ownership of local energy; strong, vigorous competition in energy. Not an industry dominated by a few big firms. Westmill Energy in Oxfordshire or Baywind in Cumbria. Green energy co-operatives run by serious professionals offering a quality service but owned by ordinary, local people. In America 42 million people belong to energy co-operatives. The possibilities are considerable.
Too often our national game, football, is run not in the interests of the fans but rather the wealthy individuals or huge corporations who own our football clubs. Slowly, in some clubs the fans are getting more powerful, a series of clubs owned by their fans,
Supporters Trusts growing in stature at a number of Premier League clubs.
Portsmouth is the latest battleground. Fans pushing for control. A rich former owner trying to stop them. To the Football League:- isn't it time they gave Portsmouth's football fans their chance to run the club?
In this UN International Year of the Co-operative, with our new General Secretary Karin Christiansen, along with many excellent MPs, we are working on a whole series of other policy challenges: co-op housing; supporting co-op councils; care and childcare.
Like you we'll be supporting Andy Sawford, Labour and Co-op candidate in Corby, Stephen Doughty in Cardiff and the excellent Lucy Powell here in Manchester.
Conference it's a privilege to chair the Co-op Party and an honour to bring you fraternal greetings from one of your closest allies.

Kate Osamor MP has spoken out against proposed cuts to tax credits.
She took this action after new figures from Labour showed that 72 per
cent of families in Edmonton could be hit by David Cameron's tax credit
plans. The House of Commons figures also show that 78 per cent of children
in the constituency are in families claiming tax credits. Across the UK the
figure is 51 per cent, putting the area well above the national average.
Estimates suggest that 42% of children in Edmonton are already living
in poverty when housing costs are taken into account. Tax credit cuts
could cost the average family up to £1,400, pushing thousands more
children below the poverty line.
Kate Osamor MP said:
"The Tories still haven't come clean about their plans for tax credit cuts.
But it's clear that it's working families in Edmonton will be hit especially
hard by any changes."
"In my constituency surgeries, I already meet many people who are in
work and struggling to get by. The people of Edmonton simply cannot
afford cuts to this important benefit."

US Air Travel On The Rebound
United States air travel took a significant hit during the Great Recession in 2008, but recent data indicates that the dampened air economy is making a big comeback. According to federal statistics released Thursday, the rebound is largely due to record-high international travel and seat-fill percentage for 2014.
Domestically, 662 million travelers made for the most ticket sales since 2007. In terms of international ticket sales, an overall record was broken, at 98 million international travelers in 2014. A record for overall seat-filling was also made, at 83.4% of all seats filled on flights. While these numbers are positive across the board, airlines are concerned that a proposed air fare facility charge increase may dampen the otherwise strong air comeback.
The current presidential administration has proposed a $3.50 increase to the existing $4.50 surcharge, citing a need to modernize outdated airports across the country. However, it is unlikely that such an insignificant fee increase will have an impact on overall ticket sales.

Yes, we are open through all four seasons and during both term-time and school holiday times.
Yes, they can (with the exception of snow and ice climbing!). However, you will find that the KMC instructors will manage some of the activities in a different way when it's very cold to keep people moving as much as possible and to avoid anyone being wet for a long period.
Yes, we always welcome leaders (and especially new leaders) who would like to make a reconnaissance visit to the centre. Given some notice, we can usually arrange for a senior member of staff to meet you, give you a tour of the site and some of the local activity venues, and answer any questions you may have.
Your instructor/s will make every effort to include all the activities you have listed, but may well advise changing the order of events in the week to make best use of the weather.
It may be. Your confirmation of booking will give details of any other party already booked in to the centre for the same period, including contact details for the leader of the other party. The accommodation at KMC is very flexible, allowing up to three separate parties to use the site at the same time without the need to share any facilities other than perhaps the coach and the dining room at mealtimes.
No, you don't, but experience shows that visiting leaders who do take part in the activity programme usually enjoy themselves a great deal and have a valuable opportunity to enhance their relationship with their students.
Our experience shows that activity groups of between eight and ten students work well. Because you know your students and your learning objectives for them, we leave it to your judgement how best to form the groups. For example, if you have a spread of ages you might wish to group the younger students together and do the same with the older ones if meeting personal challenge through adventure activities is an important objective. Conversely, you might wish to put older students together with younger ones if you'd like the older ones to have a chance to take on responsibilities within the group.
Our advice would be to plan a structured activity session of some sort for each evening you will be at KMC, and to let all students know in advance that there will be an expectation to participate. Our groups have enjoyed a wide range of indoor and outdoor, on-site and off-site evening activities and some of the simplest (a quiz or a session of party games) have been enjoyed the most. It's nice to plan some activities that promote social interaction.
There is a surgery less than a mile from KMC, and we can help to arrange a visit to the doctor if necessary. Where a student is unable to participate in the day's activity due to illness, it will usually be necessary for a member of visiting staff to stay on-site with them. You should find out in advance what the school or other organisation expects in this regard (eg should it be a female leader who stays with a girl who is ill?) There is sometimes the possibility of moving a sick student into a separate bedroom (so that they have more peace and so that any infection is less likely to spread). Of course, in the unlikely event of a serious illness developing, parents may decide that they would like to travel to North Wales and fetch their son or daughter home.
We have some house rules (see below) but it would not be appropriate for us to set bedtime because parties vary so much in age and composition. You should decide upon your own evening routine and bedtime, and any other domestic rules you would like to make (eg when students should have their showers, or when they are permitted to go out in the grounds).
It will be a great help if you can ensure party members have access to the kit list to help them pack the right items. Appropriate mental preparation is helpful (party members are prepared to participate, co-operate, try new things and work hard at times). It may be possible to prepare physically with practice walks or circuit training to help party members be as fit as possible for the visit.
KMC can provide a 12 minute DVD showing the site and some of the activities and this could be used in advance of the visit. However, you may wish to bear in mind that some young people find activity sessions all the more exciting if there is an element of the unknown.
Beyond these basic preparations, further work will depend on the learning objectives of your visit. Given some notice, Kent Mountain Centre will be happy to provide study materials relating to these (eg myths and legends of Snowdonia, slate quarrying in the Llanberis valley, coastal management planning in North Wales).
Your follow-up work will depend on the nature of your visit and its learning objectives. Some parties produce creative work. Journals, photo displays, film, art, poetry and drama are all possibilities. Events celebrating the achievements of individuals and groups during the visit can cement improvements in self-esteem.
Where fieldwork, cultural studies or environmental studies have been undertaken results can be written up and this work can be followed by further research after the visit.
Please ask the staff at KMC if you think there are ways we can help you with follow-up work and events.

I'd had Likembe on the back burner for some time, and it seems that this was to my disadvantage cause I have been missing out on a true resource on African music! Just today, I learned more about Somali music (and thankfully found some funk jems that will surely help me update my deplorable synth heavy collection) and linked over to an incredible collection of "waling vocals and frenzied guitar-picking" from Madagascar (pictured below) & other countries. This stuff is really amazing. I could have spent more of my day poring through the comprehensive archive but that will just have to wait until another time.
I also listened to some of Fader's new podcast episode from their Fall Fashion issue (downloadable pdf). Nothing out of the ordinary Fader stuff on there, which isn't necessarily a bad thing I guess.
R is back in action over at her blog, returning with a short reflection on the Olympic games that came to a close today. I left a comment on her post on the media coverage of the Olympics by the Boston Globe, WaPo and Slate, all of which have been better dissected by Sean and Nadra et al. Tito is also back with a two-part entry that is just as interesting as his older stuff. Will someone please publish this guy before I steal his stories? My other new favorite blog is Kenyan Gay, which I stumbled upon coincidentally after I read this article on gay African and Arab bloggers.
For anyone that has been following the news within the past few years, there has been an increased focus on India. I am not an exception to this trend but my attention has been focused largely on the history and culture of the country. Particularly insightful in this matter is the recent Guardian article on the many renderings of the Ramayana. I read that right after I had seen this article on Mute about inverted Orientalism and the "Hindu Nation." I wanna let it all come together before I return to it. The pic here is of the demons trying to rouse Ravana's brother, inspired by the 24,000-sloka Sanskrit epic.
Speaking of South Asia, Sri Lanka's M.I.A. has been sampled by Ye & Co. on the internet's latest leak, Swagger Like Us. Read T.I.'s reaction to the leak here. In my opinion, even though the ensemble is epic, I am personally not a big fan of the vocoder biz and there's something wrong about Jay and them taking their cue from M.I.A. Especially when it comes so long after the song's release - it has been featured on an Apatow/Rogen movie for crissakes.
Finally (phew!) check out ZZ Packer's interview on NBCC - the true highlight of my day.

The Hand and Wrist Institute has become a leader by providing quality, efficient care in a timely manner. While surgery is our specialty, most patients are cured with a conservative non-surgical approach. The overall goal is to remove the pain and improve function as quickly as possible to get the patient back to the activities of life they enjoy.
With the success Dr. Knight has had in this field he believes it is important to try to bring this type of care to other areas of the country so everyone has access to experts in the field of Hand and Wrist surgery. Therefore, the Hand and Wrist Institute is forming a national alliance of some of the top Hand and Wrist surgeons across the country. In each area, the Institute will partner up with the top medical center and their top surgeons.
The Hand and Wrist Institute has expanded services first to the Dallas Fort Worth area within the Baylor Health System with office locations in Fort Worth, Arlington, Denton and Irving. Dr. Knight will also be opening a satellite office in Dallas in the coming months to compliment his main offices in Beverly Hills and New Port Beach.
