1. The 1:30AM wake-up call never gets easy, in fact some mornings it's really darn tough!
This little tube of eye cream has been my savior and notice where it's stored!
I keep it in the fridge so that when I apply it under my eyes it's refreshing & cool all at the same time. A little goes a long way so this small tube (believe it or not) will last me a couple months.
2. I spy my EYE MASK
I'll wear it about 5-10mins after I apply my under-eye cream. This is not an every morning ritual but I'll use it a couple times a week.
3. HEAT protectors
I use the blow dryer & curling iron every single day so I'm the perfect candidate for dry damaged hair. I've also been dealing with major breakage recently so these two products are REQUIRED.
I have noticed my hair won't curl as well some mornings because of all the product but for the most part I've seen a difference and my hair feels healthier by the end of the week.
4. Eye shadow Primer
This is by far my secret weapon when it comes to keeping my eye shadow in place all day long!
5. Moisturizer with SPF
Dermatologists constantly stress the importance of wearing sunscreen and I've noticed over the years using it in products has helped with preventing lines on my face. Plus my skin glows even hours after long work days.
Remember, vitamin D is good but don't overdose on the sunshine.

Every year, on Nov. 11, the nation honors members of the United States armed forces who have served our country and defended our freedoms. This year, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) host 23 Veterans Day-themed naturalization ceremonies across the country, welcoming more than 1,600 veterans, service members, and military spouses as America's newest citizens.
USCIS has served current and former military members worldwide processing for military members, as well as specialized customer service with a dedicated phone line (877-CIS-4MIL) and email support. Since Oct. 1, 2001, USCIS has naturalized more than 125,000 members of the military, with more than 11,300 of those service members becoming citizens during USCIS naturalization ceremonies in over 35 foreign countries.
Veterans Day activities this year will feature a special naturalization ceremony at Patriot's Point Naval and Maritime Museum in South Carolina on Nov. 13, among other special ceremonies. Follow this link for a list of 2017 Veterans Day-themed naturalization ceremonies near you. USCIS invites all to share their experiences and photos from the ceremonies through Twitter and other social media using the hashtag #newUScitizen.

BCBG Max Azria Resort 2015/
I've said this year after year, and I'll say it again, but I BCBG always holds my top spot for my favorite resort collections. It's not just the clothes, but the matter in which BCBG has chosen to shoot their lookbooks. Their clothes are extremely wearable for the everyday person, yet very high end, and are always shown with some type of movement that makes them esthetically pleasing. I can only dream of owning of their resort pieces one day! :) - JN

We were just faced with a dilemma recently at the Street Chronicle. One of our vendors was suspended for a year. Let me explain the root of her suspension and the fine points she has as a vendor. Before I tell you who it is let me explain the particulars. First, she has a nasty personality toward most of the vendors she works with. Second, she is disrespectful in the meetings that we have to determine who will work at the West Side Market. Third, she disregards the rules and regulations when she is suspended. Plus, a few other minor rules and infractions. The bright side of this conflict is that she is one of the leading vendors when it comes to selling the Street Chronicle. In most of the contest that we have, she is the Top seller hands down. You may see her anywhere Downtown, Rock n Roll of the Hall of Fame, Walmart, and other various locations. So even though she has some bad qualities, she does possess a few Good ones. Now, we have given her several chances since she came back to the Street Chronicle. Over the years she has been suspended numerous times for different rule infractions. Each time we have voted her back in to sell the Street Chronicle. Each time she has promised not to violate the rules again and each time she does. The rule she finally broke that got her an indefinite suspension was that she got caught selling the Street Chronicle while under suspension. This was the straw that broke the camel's back." She has begged and pleaded to come back, but I think most of the vendors are tired of giving her chance after chance, after chance. And are at their wits end. Finally, at this time we were aligned with the Downtown Alliance well during suspension, she was disrespectful to one of their representatives and was suspended once again. I, myself want to know how many chances shall we give this individual. Is enough 'nough? Or does she deserve one more 'Bite of the Apple?' This brings me to the crucial question that I propose to the general public and our customers. Do you want her back? The vendor that I am writing about is Delores, a middle-aged woman who has been selling the Street Chronicle for quite some time, as well as when previously known as the Homeless Grapevine. I write this article because the Vendors are conflicted over all of this. So I come to the public to see if putting her on a year or better suspension is too harsh? If, you remember who she is we would like your feedback after you read this article. Unfortunately, as I was writing this article I was informed that Delores was suspended indefinitely for disobeying yet another rule. I guess some people don't know how good they have something until it is taken away. I, myself feel sorry for her because with all her faults she was still a member of the Street Chronicle vendor family. I was taught that the two most important things is God and Family, and now I don't even believe she has Family. "What a waste of her potential. In closing I would like to say these words to Delores if she happens to read this article. Everyone was not against you sometimes you have to give a little to get a lot. I wish you the best in your endeavors; and learn it's not, nice to fool Mother Nature. "Smile"
Editor's Note: Buzzy represented the vendor's position in the appeal before a three person committee at the Coalition. Delores had an advocate represent her. There is a possibility of her getting a reduction in her suspension if she can demonstrate that she has addressed her issues.

Two Women Have Womb Transplants Donated By Their Mothers
Two women have given birth to healthy babies using wombs donated to them by their own mothers.
The Daily Mail reports the two women became the first ever to deliver children using the womb that their mothers also used to bring them into the world.
The two new mothers are among nine women who have recently received womb transplants. Seven of those transplants have been successful. Of those seven, four women have become pregnant and three have now delivered babies.
Doctors say the success rate brings hope to some 15,000 British women who would like to have children of their own but were either born without a uterus or had it removed for medical reasons.
"That's a very good success rate for a new surgical procedure. If it carries on like this, it may have a massive impact on things like surrogacy," said Allan Pacey of the British Fertility Society. "Women would much prefer to have their own baby and be pregnant than watch another woman be pregnant."
The two baby boys were born last month at a hospital in Sweden.
They join another baby boy in the history books. Vincent was the first child ever born from a transplanted uterus. That birth happened in September but the uterus came from an unrelated donor.
The significance of these new mothers using their own mother's wombs cannot be overstated, said Liza Johannesson, of Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden.
"It is also really exciting to have your mother as a donor. It is a very nice gift to give to your daughter," Johannesson told The Telegraph.
Doctors said there is still a good deal of research to be done before uterus transplants become routine, but they said they are impressed with how well the procedures have worked thus far.
"The numbers are still small and we probably don't have a good handle on the true safety or how often it will be successful," said Oxford University fertility doctor, Dagan Wells. "But from the data available, we can say that it is looking pretty good. That could raise the possibility of wider application – there are significant numbers of women in the population who would have perfect fertility if it was not for a problem with their womb."
Wells said the complex surgery might not be the best choice for every woman without a uterus, but for those who feel strongly about experiencing the joys of pregnancy it will likely become an option.
"It is a pretty radical thing to undergo but the fact that some women have done it, even when it is in this experimental phase, really does emphasize how important it is for some women to carry their own child," he said.

The Premier League and Barclays yesterday agreed (October 23, 2009) to a new three year deal for Barclays to be the global title sponsor of the Barclays Premier League.
The deal, worth £82.25m over the course of the sponsorship, runs from season 2010/11 through to the end of the 2012/13 season.
Robert E. Diamond Jr, President of Barclays PLC, said: "Football is the world`s favourite sport bringing pleasure to hundreds of millions of people across the globe, and our sponsorship of the world's most popular league creates a positive emotional link between our brand and football fans everywhere.
"The Barclays Premier League sponsorship has been very successful for Barclays and the strategic fit is stronger than ever. The sponsorship is a very important element of our marketing mix and provides a cost effective method to market our organisation, helping us in our ambition to be one of a handful of banks leading the global financial services industry.'
Richard Scudamore, Premier League Chief Executive, said: "We are extremely pleased that our long established partnership with Barclays will continue for a further three seasons.
"The clubs unanimously accepted Barclays` proposal and are looking forward to further developing a successful relationship for what must be considered one of sports top sponsorship properties.
"The Premier League's strength is that it is an essentially English competition that has gained a huge international following. This clearly resonates with Barclays own business development and aspirations.
'Barclays commitment is critical to helping us continue to put on a top quality football competition that is watched and enjoyed by football fans at home as well as across the world."
The deal is for the global title sponsorship of the Premier League and includes exclusive world-wide marketing rights, UK and international TV programme accreditation, extensive advertising packages, match day tickets and hospitality. The deal will also continue to include the biennial pre-season tournament, the Barclays Asia Trophy, which most recently took place in Beijing in the summer of 2009.
The Barclays Premier League is currently broadcast across 211 territories to more than 500 million homes.
Barclays is a major global financial services provider engaged in retail and commercial banking, credit cards, investment banking, wealth management and investment management services, with an extensive international presence in Europe, the USA, Africa and Asia. Barclays operates in over 50 countries, has over 49 million customers and employs over 145,000 people.
A few facts:
Barclays has been sponsor of the Premier League since 2001. From 2001-2004 through its Barclaycard brand and since 2004 under the Barclays brand.
Barclays is also heavily involved in grass roots sports in a programme called Barclays Spaces for Sports. Established in 2004 this has invested over £37 million in over 200 Barclays Spaces for Sports sites in deprived areas of the UK, and in the last year has seen the programme expand overseas into countries which Barclays operates.
Running for 38 rounds across 33 weeks, the Barclays Premier League is the biggest continuous annual global sporting event in the world.
The Premier League broadcasts in over 200 territories and in the 2008/09 season over half a billion homes across the globe received over 100,000 hours of coverage.
Total attendance for the 2008/09 Barclays Premier League season was 13.5m, with stadia 92.4% full – the highest utilisation in Europe.
A total of 43 clubs have competed in the Premier League.

Animage Article on Horus, Prince of the Sun
In July of 1978, Animage magazine published an article celebrating the 10th anniversary of The Great Adventures of Horus, Prince of the Sun. The film had achieved cult legend status by that time, as the careers of Isao Takahata, Hayao Miyazaki and the legendary Toei Doga crew unleashed a decade's worth of anime classics of film and television.
This article features a number of production drawings, several published books you can still find online with a little effort. One item of interest are the official lobby cards on the second and third pages. Most of these are today found scattered around the internet, and Toei has provided a number of illustrations for use in various home video releases. We have never seen the complete set, however.
Toei really ought to release a complete set of Horus lobby cards. We could either sell them separately or as part of a deluxe Blu-Ray package. I remain confident that with enough brand building, Horus could build an audience. It's a fantastic movie with great characters and a rich universe worth exploring.
Thanks to Anim'Archive for these magazine scans.

A Personal Note from Robin...
A personal note from Robin…

Dehydrated v. Hydrated
The beauty of Zydeco Chop Chop comes from its versatility! Shaken straight out of the package in its original dehydrated state or rehydrated in olive oil or water Zydeco Chop Chop brings the flavor of the Cajun Trinity in a fraction of the time.
When to use it ZCC DEHYDRATED
The best time to use ZCC dehydrated is when the base of the dish is liquid! ZCC mingles with the butter, stock or natural juices and rehydrates the vegetables to their most delicious form. WE suggest trying ZCC dehydrated in dishes such as:
- Gumbos
- Jambayla
- Soups
- Etouffee
- Sauces
When to use ZCC HYDRATED
Rehydrating Zydeco Chop Chop with water or olive oil brings the natural essence of the vegetables to life. We suggest using ZCC rehydrated in dishes where the majority of the flavor will come from ZCC or using direct heat from an oven such as:
- Roasted Vegetables
- Roasted Meats
- Dips

Monday 11th February 2019. Tamara, who captained England in the 2015 Women's Six Nations Championship and was the Rugby Players Association Player of the Year in 2017, gave us a highly entertaining, unstructured, and fascinating talk, supposedly about women's rugby in England, but in the end, about so much more.
It is pretty rare to meet somebody who plays at the absolute top level of a sport, but is as comfortable talking about grass-roots, juniors, and everything in-between. Tamara is passionate about rugby, and passionate about getting people involved in the sport, and her love for the game is truly infectious. It was an evening not to be missed, so if you missed it, Tamara has promised to come back to Kingston Park after she has toddled up to the top of Mount Everest, on the way taking part in a world record attempt to play the highest altitude game of rugby ever played. Taking on that sort of challenge pretty much sums up Tamara Taylor, so if you get another chance to hear what she has to say, don't miss it. A big thank you to Tamara for taking time to entertain us so well.

There are two kinds of people in the world. The ones who look first, and the ones who leap. I've always been more of a looker. Cautious. A planner. That changed after I met Drew Evans. He was so persistent. So sure of himself - and of me.
But not all love stories end happily ever after. Did you think Drew and I were going to ride off into the sunset? Join the club. Now I have to make a choice; the most important of my life. Drew already made his - in fact, he tried to decide for the both of us. But you know that's just not my style. So I came back to Greenville, Ohio, alone. Well, sort of alone...
What I've come to realize is that old habits die hard, and sometimes you have to go back to where you began before you can move ahead.
Emma Chase did it again...another breath of fresh air. This time around we get to hear Kate, and man she tells it like it is. This is book #2 in the Tangled Series.
I felt like she was right in my kitchen talking to me like a best friend. I found myself answering her questions and agreeing with her. It continues on it's 2 years into Drew and Kate relationship. They live in Drew's apartment and everything so far is cozy, still crazy in love and can not get enough of each other. Has all our favorite characters in it. Dolores, Billy, Carol, Matthew, Alexandra, Steve, and of course little Mackenzie. Can Drew and Kate survive anymore up and downs. Can one misunderstanding be fixed? Read and find out. Emma got it right 5 stars again for this one. I loved it. Hook, line and sinker.
Charlotte did amazing job with Kate. She brought out a uniqueness on how Kate acts and her mannerisms. I really thought I was having a conversation with a friend instead of just listening to a narrator read lines off a piece of paper. Charlotte brought Kate to life, in ways I have never heard before. I mean really who can honestly say they answer the audio back and instead of being in the characters shoes, your one of the friends of them. Very awesome read I will be listening to this one over and over.

Today I worked in the Library cutting out laminated card things. Aaron was there. He was being dumb and talking about people farting. His friend said "Now we know why there's earthquakes." Then they both said rumble, rumble. Aaron was being weird to me today. He kept laughing everytime he saw me. Maybe he's getting back at me for something.
We played a game and almost won. We were off by two points.
I [heart] Aaron.

He?s the Man
Deborah Enrile Lao?s series of poster portraits with no facial features are putting a face to Asian American male heroes.
by VIVIEN KIM THORP
images courtesy of DEBORAH ENRILE LAO
Set against brightly colored backdrops, the five silkscreened prints created by San Francisco-native Deborah?Enrile Lao are minimalist portraits, to be sure. Yet, despite having no facial features and few details?a yellow jumpsuit with a black stripe on the sleeve, a phaser gun, a basketball, a Black Panthers beret, a spinning record?many of the likenesses are instantly recognizable to those with even a passing knowledge of modern Asian American figures.
They are martial arts legend Bruce Lee, George Takei of Star Trek fame,NBA superstar Jeremy Lin, civil rights activist Richard Aoki and hip-hop artist DJ Qbert. All are now iconicized in a series of posters celebrating Asian American male heroes that began as a class project and, thanks to the Internet, has reached such popularity that Lao is now selling them.
?I never really had intentions to have it be seen as much as it has,? says Lao, a 31-year-old graphic design student at the California College of the Arts in Oakland. But late one night, a graduate student saw her working on the Aoki print and convinced her to share her work.
Word of the poster series, which Lao titled ?Manhood,? fanned out across Facebook, and after Colorlines.com, a multiracial news site, posted a short piece on the posters back in May, the link would be shared thousands of times. The posters were also pinned on Pinterest, blogged about and then re-blogged.
??Manhood? features five awesome dudes and challenges the portrayal of Asian American men in Western media,? wrote popular blogger Angry Asian Man. ?Also, it looks really freaking cool.?
Something about the simplistic rendition and the very idea of posters celebrating Asian American male figures were resonating. Soon, Lao?s email inbox started blowing up after fans found her personal website.
?It is encouraging to see artists like yourself portray Asian males as strong and inspiring,? wrote one Asian American man. ?I want to ask if your posters are on sale.?
The concept for the ?Manhood? posters started as a diptych with Bruce Lee portrayed next to one of his philosophical quotes. Lao, of Chinese and Filipino descent, was inspired by the release of a new documentary on Lee?s life. ?He was a real badass, a sexy, strong Asian American male who was respected across communities and across oceans,? she says.
When she completed the piece, she started wondering about other Asian American males who might be?on the same iconic level. ?I was talking with other classmates, and we couldn?t really think of many.?
And then, like much of America, Lao was swept up by ?Linsanity.?
?I don?t regularly watch sports, but I found myself gravitating towards the [New York] Knicks? website and ESPN,? she says. She was struck by Jeremy Lin?s talent, humility and dedication. Then, it came to her: the point guard was another unlikely hero, and, he?d beaten incredible odds to make it in the NBA.
In her prints, Lao used bold colors?yellow, blue, orange, gray and red?for the backgrounds to create a ?superhero? effect. And she left the portraits purposely faceless, as much to illustrate how iconic these men were, as to help others, particularly Asian American boys, picture themselves in similar roles. ?It?s not just about Bruce Lee,? she says, ?but what he represented.?
Posters of actor George Takei (the original ?Sulu? from the Star Trek series and movies) and activist Richard Aoki,a leader in the Black Panther Party?both of whom were incarcerated during World War II along with thousands of other Japanese Americans?followed. Then, to round up the series, Lao created a print of Filipino American Richard Quitevis, known to the world as DJ Qbert.
The latter may seem the odd duck in the row, but not to Lao. ?I wanted to represent people from fields where it was more unusual to find an AsianAmerican male leader,? she says. During the ?90s, DJ Qbert and his mostlyAsian American crew, the Invisibl Skratch Piklz, battled turntable champs to prove their own in the hip-hop genre, says Lao. ?For Qbert to be voted America?s Best DJ in 2010, that?s awesome.?
This May, when word of her posters went viral, Lao was thrilled, but also surprised. She had only made five prints of each hero during the first edition, which she?d intended to give to her brother as a birthday present. A high school teacher in Massachusetts wanted the series so her students ?could see more positive images of Asian Americans.? A father in Texas wanted the Lin print for his 7-year-old son. And a personal friend of the late Aoki was eager to purchase the poster of the man who was once his mentor.
Lao went back to the studio to create a second edition, this time making 112 prints in total. The 17-by-22.5-inch posters, each hand-pulled on archival paper, are now for sale on her Etsy shop, PrintsByDebLao. A single poster is $50; the set of five costs $225.
Requests for additional heroes, as well as a series on Asian American women, keep coming. But Lao, who graduates in December, says she?s done with the ?Manhood? series for now. Looking forward, she plans to follow a philosophy of ?design for good.?
?I want to be involved in telling and spreading stories that often go untold, but are just as important,? she says. ?And hopefully keep making art, too.?

UNSW staff had to scramble to contain an embarrassing outbreak of undergraduate humour, after the university's Facebook page was hacked on its annual open day.
As the university prepared to showcase its faculties and grounds to thousands of potential students, its Facebook page was infiltrated by images of scantily clad women, cleavages and bare backsides, causing concern among some students and ROFLing (rolling on the floor laughing) among others:
All avenues were tried internally to regain access to the site, but administrators had been locked out altogether
One visitor speculated that the intern had been handed the keys to the Facebook account, while another announced the UNSW staff must be drunk.
UNSW said it discovered early on Saturday morning that its page had been hacked and tried for more than three hours to contact administrators in Australia and internationally.
"All avenues were tried internally to regain access to the site, but administrators had been locked out altogether," a spokeswoman said.
"At 10.26am we finally received a response from Facebook Support assuring us the case was a high priority," she said. "We have not been contacted since but we have managed to regain access to the site through other means and all inappropriate posts have been removed. We are awaiting a follow-up email from Facebook support."
"The University is concerned about the impact this has had on the UNSW community and will be working to determine the source of the breach," said the spokeswoman who added NSW Police had been contacted.
While the prank may have disgusted a minority of visitors to the site – "I have reported UNSW to the AFP … This behaviour is totally unacceptable" one user complained – it may not be all bad news for the university's marketing team.
Some of the images posted by hackers had attracted close to 800 likes, while only two people had liked the post proclaiming that the open day had begun.
Said one visitor: "It's official. UNSW is the best uni."
Hacklabs director Chris Gatford said there were two possible scenarios behind the attack: "One is that the person who had the credentials was tricked into providing them…via a phishing email for example. Or, rather plainly, they have guessed the username and password barrier."
While UNSW might be feeling "embarrassed" by the attack, Mr Gatford described it as "minor" when compared to the cyber attacks that regularly occur at universities across Australia.
"They are an open learning environment, they have lots of systems and many of them tend not to be managed by IT, they are managed by the faculties."
He added: "There is not a week that goes by when you don't see a compromised university system being listed on one of the hacker farms. On this occasion, let's be grateful it is just boobs on a Facebook page and not student data."

And how much does it cost to save a refugee?
If you see me jogging, kill whatever is chasing me
Good question. Some of the weapons cost something stupid like $1m per missile. I guess you've gotta get your priorities right.
Life is what you make it.
Yeah, but bombing the shit out of a country usually results in us being able to steal their resources...So it's like an investment.
Yeah, but refugee's don't give near as good of kickbacks as defense contractors.
Why do you wanna know? Setting up goal for GoFundMe campaign ? !?!?

By Niobe Syme and Fiona White | 1 December 2013
I said, don't put a frame
around me.
I'm not your art.
Outside, cicadas pulse.
Summer. All those new boys
trebling for a mate,
bright-coloured, fancy,
and as many dulled girls
without their glasses on.
Earth and its usual dramas:
keeping busy,
the middle space.
a winding, like conversation.
A thermal lift on the hope
of an aerial view.
So we carry on,
him gone
and me at 39:
most certainly,

Reconciliation Conference/
For the second year in a row I was invited to a reconciliation conference between Israeli Messianic Jews and Palestinian Christians. Last year was a challenging and eye opening affair, culminating in a joint statement of points of agreement and disagreement between the parties but with the commitment to treat each other with respect and love. The purpose this year was to listen to one another's stories with the hope of building relationships and even working together on projects.
When I learned that this year's meeting was to be in Athens, Greece, I asked the coordinators about the possibility of meeting and ministering to Syrian refugees, who flooded the shores of Greece over the past few years. Although it wasn't specifically part of the agenda, I learned that one of the Arab pastors had started a ministry in Athens among the Syrians, and he was planning to bring some humanitarian goods to some of the families. I, Stacy, our daughter, Amy, who was a participant this year, and several others opted to join the pastor instead of touring historic Athens.
Most of the approximately 62,000 Syrian refugees still left in Greece reside in the north, hoping to be transferred to various European countries. Several thousand, however, ring Athens in refugee camps. I was told that the government forbids visitation to these camps. In addition, hundreds of larger families have government- subsidized housing in the city. This is the group that the pastor ministers to. Since there were about twelve of us joining him, he split us into three groups, each group visiting with one family. He explained the situation of the different families. When he said one family was headed by a former member of the Syrian parliament, I knew that was the one I wanted to meet.
It was a bitingly cold and windy day. We met another refugee, who had become a Christian and coordinated the pastor's work in the city. Unlike the family we were planning to visit, he was from Iraq. In fact, his father had been a major general in Saddam Hussein's army, responsible in part for battling the Iranians during an earlier war. Following the US invasion, Iranian-backed militias killed his father in front of his eyes. He fled to Syria, Turkey and now Greece, where he met the Lord.
We took the subway to a station near the refugee's home. We stopped to buy groceries since we were told the father would not receive money, albeit the fact that he had none. When we entered this small apartment, it was packed with a large family eating a meal together. All the women were shrouded in Muslim garb. The father whisked us into another room. Apparently, he had become a Christian a few months ago, but his family was not, and Muslim neighbors were over. So, he would talk to us privately until the neighbors left. We introduced ourselves as Messianic Jews and Palestinian Christians from Israel, and that rather than consider Syria an enemy, we prayed for the Syrians. We then asked him to share his story. He began to tell an incredible and heart breaking story of the family's journey over the past several years.
He has a large family. They lived in Syria near the Turkish border. One of his daughters died in an accident at a young age. I said I had heard he had served in the Syrian parliament, and told him that I worked in the US Congress in the past. He explained that he also owned a prosperous trucking company that transported goods back and forth from Syria to Turkey. I then said interestingly that when my great grandfather came to the US from Russia, he also started a trucking company, in New York city. He said he hoped my life wasn't as tragic as his.
He was elected into the parliament through an independent party. However, the Assad government was increasingly pressuring him to join its party. He refused and resigned. When the Arab Spring erupted and trouble started in Syria, he sent his family into Turkey. He then ran for parliament again and won again. He requested the government not mistreat the protesters. The government accused him of being a traitor, and he fled to Turkey. The Syrian government and ISIS confiscated all of his property in Syria, though he still had property in Turkey. Near his home in Turkey there was a hospital tending to the Syrian refugees. He said what he witnessed there was a horror show. The Turks raped and murdered the refugees in the hospital and sold their body parts on the black market.
He tried to expose the truth of what was happening by informing Turkish government officials. The result was that he was jailed, and all of his property in Turkey was confiscated. After being released, he traveled to Istanbul to expose the corruption and atrocities to various foreign embassies with the hope that the information would be shared with the International Criminal Court in the Hague. He was told to contact the embassy again in a few days, and the information would be passed on. The reality, however, was that the person who translated his report was a government informant. He decided to send his oldest son to Athens because he knew trouble was coming. That was the last he heard from his son, about fourteen months ago. He assumed his son was kidnapped and either jailed or killed. He went to the Turkish courts to demand justice. Shortly thereafter, Turkish security informed him to leave the country within 48 hours or his family would be killed. Thus, he and his family fled to Greece on a dinghy boat exactly a year ago.
In Greece, he had the opportunity to flee with his family to Europe, but he was told he needed to work through one of the humanitarian organizations. Because of delays within the organizations, he waited, and then the doors shut in Europe. Now, he and his family are stuck in Greece, with no work permits, and nowhere to go. He said he was incensed with Islam. He heard of a Christian organization and started attending a Bible study, organized by the Israeli Arab pastor who arranged the visit. As he read the Bible, he saw the radical difference in teaching between Islam and that of Yeshua, especially about loving your enemy, and thus he began to trust the Lord. It was at this point in his story that his wife and the rest of his children entered the room, the neighbors having left. They knew about his new faith but listened attentively as he shared the story. The children were extremely cute and well behaved. Of course, I had to make a bunch of sounds for the kids and even performed my famous coins in the eye trick (Euros, no quarters), which the kids loved. We asked if we could pray for the family, and they said certainly. When I think about this picture, it's simply amazing. Here we are: a few Messianic Jews and a Palestinian Christian pastor from Israel praying for this family with the wife fully garbed in Muslim black. We prayed blessings, prosperity, hope and comfort, a future for them and that God would find their missing son. It was incredibly emotional and powerful. Even though I knew the father would not receive the money, I hid some behind a pillow on the couch.
Afterwards, we met with the rest of our group at a restaurant, and the other groups that visited other refugee families had very similar stories. Folks, this is what the love of God is about – bridging political and regional differences through listening to each other, working together and loving one another. Stacy and I are dedicating ourselves to fostering our relationship with our Arab brothers and sisters who were there at this conference, especially those who live in close-by Nazareth. We intend to help the Arab pastor, who has the outreach among the Syrian refugees. While the US government is freaking out about Muslim refugees and the Israeli government is making life more and more difficult for the Palestinians, as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

As devolution continues to take root, the Kenyan Tourism Board launched the Miss Tourism Kenya pageant in every county. So far, over 25 counties have run the competition and their finalists have been announced.
West Pokot held its Miss Tourism beauty contest which saw Miss Sarah Pkyach, a Biostatistics and Actuarial Science student and the current Miss JKUAT, crowned the new Miss Tourism West Pokot in a colourful event held at Mtelo Hall, Kapenguria.
Miss Pkyach emerged the winner in a contest that attracted more than 20 contestants during the auditions.
While meeting the finalists at his office and the governor's residence, Governor Prof. John Lonyangapuo asserted that indeed West Pokot is a county of hidden treasures.
He said that the Miss Tourism beauty pageant will play a crucial role in preserving the county's rich heritage.
"These finalists here are the face of our county and we need to put it out there. We're not the same again. The giant has woken up." Said the governor.
He added that the county is in the process of building a mega cultural centre which will house the county's heritage.
11 of the contestants who proceeded from the auditions went for a one week boot camp. During the boot camp, the finalists underwent training in catwalk, leadership, public speaking, personal branding, marketing, entrepreneurship, agro tourism among other.
Miss Pkyach said that she will use her new platform to market the county to the rest of the nation.
"We have a beautiful county. The rest of Kenya and the world at large need to experience this beauty. Everything that we have experienced here goes beyond catwalk." Said the new Miss Tourism.

11:12pm and i find myself staring at a nearly-empty bowl of popcorn, immune enhancing popcorn that is! the other day i made a delicious concoction involving popcorn, coconut oil, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, salt and essential oils. the popcorn did not last long, as a matter of fact i've been resisting cleaning this nearly-empty bowl for the past few days. at 11:12pm we find ourselves face to face again. i prefer to call it an evening only if the kitchen sink is clean and clear but i will let myself bypass this rule one more time. oh little yellow bursts of popcorn solar flares, you may rest amongst your cinnamon-salt stardust for one more night.

These pictures of dog flowers have been floating around the Web for awhile now. I first saw them at Linkinn.com.
Then I found a couple of other doggie flower arrangement that are similar, but different…
Check out the following pictures of dog flowers.
One was made with real flowers.
The other was created by placing a real dog behind a painted picture of a flower.
Both are fun!
UPDATE: Instructions for making these dog flower arrangements were at one time provided by FloralClasses.com, but their site is no longer active. Here are the instructions for making a puppy from chrysanthemums, thanks to the Wayback Machine. And here are video instructions for making dog flower arrangements yourself.

Backbone Radio with Matt Dunn - May 05, 2019 - HR 1
Opening Monologues. SpyGate Dynamite. The Smell of Fear in the Beltway. The real story is about to happen. An enormous scandal on the verge of blowing wide open. Prediction: The next 60 Days gonna be wild. New York Times finally admits spying did occur, detailing the Obama Administration's deployment of multiple spies against the Trump Campaign in 2016. Including Honeypot Azra Turk, the cartoonishly voluptuous secret agent who went to work on George Papadopoulos. The NYT claims the FBI was "frantic" about the Russian Menace, and therefore simply had to trample the Constitution. But we say the Obama spooks only hoped to harm Team Trump and cover the tracks of their many years of illegal spying. We marvel at the sheer chronic wrongitude of MSM propaganda, as Geraldo Rivera says the media should now be apologizing to President Trump. Meanwhile, it's all hands on deck for Democrats to demonize AG Barr, who is "deadly serious" about getting to the bottom of the origins of all the spying. Thus far, AG Barr appears in line with the maxim of Winston Churchill: "Be a peg, hammered into the frozen ground, immovable." Hence the widespread panic across the Deep State.

Cougars Finish Mountain View Collegiate
March 29, 2009
TUCSON, Ariz. - The Washington State women's golf team moved up three places during the final round to finish in a three-way tie for 14th at the Mountain View Collegiate. The tournament was held at the par-72, 6,263-yard Mountain View Golf Course.
The Cougars posted a 289 (+1) during the final round which was good enough to tie for the lowest team score of the day. The performance was also WSU's lowest round of the tournament.
'It was a course that required a little local knowledge and took us a few rounds to figure out,' said Head Coach Walt Williams.
Amy Eneroth finished in a tie for 18th and notched her 35th career top-25 finish. The senior marked an even-par 72 during the final day to post a three-round total of 221 (+5). Eneroth was the best in the field at par-3 scoring, as she went 4-under on par-3 holes throughout the tournament.
Freshman Kristen Allard finished second for the Cougars. She carded a 74 (+2) during the final round to give her a tournament total of 228 (+12). The score marks the second-lowest three-round total of her career.
Andrea Rosete posted a 73 (+1) during the final day which ties the lowest round of her career. The freshman ended with a two-day total of 231.
Rosete was followed by senior Jessica Black who shot the lowest round of any Cougar in the tournament. The third-round 71 (-1) gave Black a total of 233 for the tournament.
Rounding out the Cougar lineup was freshman Lauren Howell who tallied a 73 during the final round, and a three-round total of 234.
The WSU women will head to Miami, Fla., next to play in the Cardinal Classic on April 6-7.

The band that always comes to my mind when I hear the word "mathcore" is Ion Dissonance. Solace was the first release under that tag which pulled me in and made me think, "Ah yes! I get it now." So it's only fitting that I begin my picks with this album – one of my all-time favorites – for our March Madness mathcore series.
When I was introduced to Ion Dissonance in the mid-2000s, my obsession with death metal had already moved into more technical territory and I was especially captivated by the Montreal, Quebec tech-death scene: Gorguts, Cryptopsy, Quo Vadis, Neuraxis, Augury, etc. These bands embodied classic death metal, but were also insanely progressive and avant-garde.
At the time, a new era of Quebecois metal had emerged, which naturally grabbed my attention. Along with Ion Dissonance, bands like Despised Icon and Beneath the Massacre, as well as The Plasmarifle (highly underrated, by the way), led this new wave that was still very much rooted in death metal, but with prominent hardcore and grindcore influences.
However there was something special about Ion Dissonance, and 2005's Solace in particular, that stood out beyond the deathcore and metalcore labels: utter chaos and incongruity, paired with the aggressive brutality and technical intricacies of MTL death metal. Even after 12 years, Solace is just as impactful as it was when I first heard it.
Right from the start with "Play Dead… and I'll Play Along," Solace hits you with its complex intensity – from the spazzy guitars and breakneck riffs to the crushing grooves, it's absolutely pummeling. And it just keeps getting better; "O.A.S.D." features even more ferocious breakdowns, coupled with unconventional angular melodies. The unpredictable song structures and unorthodox time changes are brilliant, keeping things fresh and engaging throughout the record's 41-and-a-half minutes.
Along with great song titles, outstanding tracks like "She's Strychnine" and "Lecturing Raskolnikov (or How to Properly Stab an Old Widow)" contain the perfect balance of vicious slamming rhythms and inhuman jarring tones, while the slowly building 11-minute closer "A Prelude of Things Worse to Come" ends Solace on a bleak, anxiety-inducing note.
Another fundamental reason why I love this record so much is because of Gabriel McCaughry's blood-curdling vocals. His diverse and extremely dynamic delivery is on-point throughout the album; from his corrosive angst-filled expulsions to his visceral banshee screams, it's all so intense. And the lyrics are just as fervent and insane. I dare you to hear the first track's line "kill yourself or someone you love" and not feel something.
For me, Solace is quintessential mathcore. I had listened to The Dillinger Escape Plan before, bought Calculating Infinity and saw them live, but I didn't quite understand the whole "mathcore" thing until listening to Ion Dissonance. A defining moment for me personally, Solace was the record that got me to comprehend those discordant sounds and embrace a whole new approach to metal, which enabled me go back and listen to Calculating Infinity with a newfound appreciation.
An album that leaves that kind of impression? I think it's gotta be pretty damn special.

Guess who's the schmuck who's credited with editing it?: Graeme finishes off his stack of 7/18 books./
Two random thoughts (and one of them concerns Harry Potter, so look away, Charlie): Firstly, that epilogue in Harry Potter - what? I mean, seriously, am I the only one who thought that it was kind of a crappy ending to the whole thing? (I know that Kate didn't; she loved it to pieces.) And secondly, after listening to Danger Doom on the way to work this morning, I realized: Stephen Colbert is Space Ghost, and The Colbert Report is Coast To Coast. Now it all makes sense.
Okay, with both of those out of my system, shall we look at some comics?
ANNIHILATION: CONQUEST: QUASAR #1: As much as I didn't care for this Okay issue - a lot of my dislike is down to Mike Lilly's art, which is overly rendered and feels weirdly gratuitous in terms of its core couple at times - it's still an interesting set-up for the series, and ties in nicely with the overall event. Maybe I'm just a sucker for stories where the heroes are fighting against a ticking clock, but I like the concept that Quasar only has limited (and getting smaller all the time) amounts of power to use unless she can save the day... Christos Gage's script feels very Claremontian at times, but I'm much more forgiving of that in Marvel superhero books these days... Blame it on my recent Essentials diving.
BIRDS OF PREY #108: So, I was reading Douglas's "Reading Comics" book this morning, and he mentions Birds of Prey as a pleasurable experience if not necessarily a long-lasting one due to its multiple-creator and cross-book-continuity elements... and with this issue - Gail Simone's last, I believe - I can kind of see his point on the latter part of that, at least; the thing that sticks out most from this rush-ending (which is nonetheless full of nice moments once Spy Smasher has left the book; she was an interesting idea for a character, but never seemed to quite work) was that the heart of the book really belongs not to Oracle but to Black Canary, who was pulled out of it to go star in Justice League and marry Green Arrow. Once she was gone, the series lost its focus and identity, and didn't really find it again throughout the remainder of Gail's run. The second half of this issue is as good as the book's been for a long time, and that's partially because Gail gets to write all of the main characters - including Canary - in a scene together again, bringing the friendship and familiarity that made the majority of her run so good. Very Good despite the obvious attempts to tie-up loose ends before leaving the room.
BLACK CANARY #2: And this was one of the reasons Dinah was taken out of BOP - Her own mini-series by name, although (excluding flashbacks) she only actually appears in eleven panels of the entire issue (Supporting cast member Green Arrow, by comparison, gets fifteen panels. Oh, and the bad guy is actually out to get him, not Canary). I shouldn't be that harsh, I guess; Tony Bedard's script is tight enough, and Paolo Siquiera's art is really rather nice, but this really isn't a book that stars Black Canary at all. Okay.
THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD #5: As much as I really love the Legion, and especially Mark Waid's version of the team, and as much as I loved this issue, this is still just an Okay issue because there's just too much going on in it without any of it really mattering - For people who've never read the Legion before, there are too many characters appearing here without any real introduction or even personality, so they just become generic stand-ins to react to how cool Batman is. I mean, sure I love that Invisible Kid is a massive fanboy, but if you didn't know who Invisible Kid is, there's nothing here to make you love him, I don't think, and that's a disappointment from a series (and a writer) who's managed to distill all the other characters down to their essences so far. That said, bad guys called Luck Lords is somehow an awesome idea.
JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #11: You know, this is a nice enough one-off issue - and Gene Ha's artwork is probably what elevates it to that level, to be honest. There's something about the texture on that double-page spread opening the book that I adore, but I couldn't tell you why - but it feels weightless and unnecessary, filler while Brad Meltzer plays for time and waits for his run to finish next issue. What's become obvious about Meltzer's JLA run is that, while he's a massive JLA fan, he's a really bad JLA writer - his thirteen issues amounting to a confused eight-part (I'm counting the #0 issue) opener that substituted misdirections and fanboy nostalgia for plot, a JSA crossover that aspired to - and failed to meet - the level of something that Len Wein would hack out to meet a deadline so that Dick Dillin had something to draw, and a couple of fill-in issues. Yes, he's somehow a big name issue and a fan-favorite, but he didn't actually manage to do anything with the team, or even show why his particular version belonged together. He also managed to set plots in motion that he's unlikely to be able to wrap up next issue: What's going on with Geo-Force's powers going weird? What was happening with the three villains in the future seen during the JSA crossover? Red Tornado's traumatized and unstable now that he's a robot again - where is that going? Will Vixen be able to get her powers under control? and so on and so on. This issue: Eh from a pretty Awful run to date.
THE LONE RANGER #7: Okay, I admit it. Somehow this week, between announcements of Matt Wagner writing their Zorro revamp, this issue and PAINKILLER JANE #2, I've somehow come around to the idea of Dynamite as a pretty good publisher. I mean, yeah, they do Xena (which is potentially good, but I never saw the TV show nor the appeal, really) and Red Sonja and all, but they also do things like this and The Boys, and even that new Alex Ross book they're talking about. There's no way of getting around it - The Lone Ranger is just a Very Good series, and this issue keeps that up, building more onto the framework from the first storyline in terms of plot and character while Sergio Cariello continues to provide high quality Joe Kubert-esque artwork. It's the best TV show they never made, in a lot of ways, and I mean that as a complement. Meanwhile, Painkiller Jane continues to sneak up on me and become my new guilty pleasure - It's borderline exploitative and gratuitous, but there's something enjoyably offkilter and unexpected about where the story's going, and Lee Moder's art is smart and cartoony in all the right ways. Weirdly Good, if that makes sense.
SHAZAM: THE MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL #4: A big finish that actually feels like a big finish, this hit all the notes that you wanted it to and, perhaps more importantly, did so in a way that felt right. Thankfully pulling back from the "Dr. Sivana is Dick Cheney!"-isms of the previous issue to concentrate more on the rockin'-em and sockin'-em moments, Jeff Smith manages to close out his series in a way that leaves you wanting more but happy with what you've got, just in case. Very Good.
THE SPIRIT #8: Darwyn, you had me at the first use of "Mr. Sexypants." Very Good and then some, this is one of the best books around these days; never mind Cooke's amazing art, his writing (balancing enough plot and closure to make each issue complete in and of itself, but consistently moving larger plots forward) may be the unsung star of this book.
SUPER-VILLAIN TEAM-UP: MODOK'S 11 #1: Can we now call time on MODOK as co-opted ironic cool icon? This issue is Okay enough, but I'm not sure the world ever really needed to see that MODOK was once a lovesick nerd before he got turned into a giant floating head, nor do I particularly want to see him in a heist movie with other forgotten villains. I mean, yeah, it's funny in a hipster way, but... Meh. I don't know. It feels like it's laughing at the source material and people who find it cool, rather than enjoying the dumb fun because it's dumb fun, you know?
THUNDERBOLTS: DESPERATE MEASURES #1: Because, for today's Marvel, you don't get fill-in issues, you get special one-shots that just take the place of the regular book on the schedule for a month. Aside from Steve Lieber's artwork (which is rather good, really, and definitely better than the story deserves), there's nothing to recommend this (Well, okay, there's the Herbie reference), unless you particularly want to read Paul Jenkins do a weak impression of Warren Ellis. Awful.
This week: More comics! And San Diego, so I take a couple of days off! Great!
