Gilbert "Gil" Scott-Heron was an American soul and jazz poet, musician, and author, known primarily for his work as a spoken-word performer in the 1970s and 1980s. His collaborative efforts with musician Brian Jackson featured a musical fusion of jazz, blues, and soul, as well as lyrical content concerning social and political issues of the time, delivered in both rapping and melismatic vocal styles by Scott-Heron. His own term for himself was "bluesologist", which he defined as "a scientist who is concerned with the origin of the blues".His music, most notably on Pieces of a Man and Winter in America in the early 1970s, influenced and helped engender later African-American music genres such as hip hop and neo soul. In fact, Scott-Heron himself is considered by many to be the first rapper/MC ever, a recognition also shared by fellow American MC Coke La Rock.
Scott-Heron remained active until his death, and in 2010 released his first new album in 16 years, entitled I'm New Here. A memoir he had been working on for years up to the time of his death, The Last Holiday, was published posthumously in January 2012.
His recording work received much critical acclaim, especially one of his best-known compositions "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised". Gil Scott-Heron received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012. He also is included in the exhibits at the National Museum of African American History and Culture that officially opened on Sept. 24, 2016 on the National Mall, and in an NMAAHC publication, Dream a World Anew. During the museum's opening ceremonies, the Sylvan Theater on the monument grounds was temporarily named the Gil Scott-Heron stage.
The Revolution Will Not be Televised
"The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" is a poem and song by Gil Scott-Heron. Scott-Heron first recorded it for his 1970 album Small Talk at 125th and Lenox, on which he recited the lyrics, accompanied by congas and bongo drums. A re-recorded version, with a full band, was the B-side to Scott-Heron's first single, "Home Is Where the Hatred Is", from his album Pieces of a Man (1971). It was also included on his compilation album, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (1974).

It has been reported that Dean Chance died of a heart attack at the age of 74 yesterday in his hometown of Wooster, Ohio. Chance was born in Wooster on June 1, 1941 and went on to attend Northwestern High School in Wayne, Ohio where he became a sports legend. Chance was considered by many to be the best high school pitcher in Ohio history, throwing 17 no-hitters (eight in one season) and posting a 52-1 record in high school, including 32 consecutive victories. The Baltimore Orioles signed Chance out of high school for $30,000. After two season in the Orioles organization the team exposed him to the 196o expansion draft and he was taken by the Washington Senators in the 48th round but his stay as a Senator was short-lived as they traded him to the Los Angeles Angels that same day for Joe Hicks in one of several forced trades by AL President Joe Cronin.
Dean Chance who would go on to become a two-time All-Star and Cy Young winner made his big league debut against the Minnesota Twins on September 14, 1961 at Met Stadium and lost 5-2 to Jim Kaat. Chance pitched well going 7.1 innings allowing 10 hits and 3 earned runs and two strike outs. Dean Chance blossomed the following year for the Angels and was 14-10 with a 2.96 ERA 206 plus innings.
Dean Chance met Bo Belinsky for the first time in spring training in Clearwater, Florida, in 1959. When the Angels selected Belinsky from the Orioles in the Rule 5 Draft on November 27, 1961, and the two subsequently made the Angels in 1962, they became teammates and then roomed together during the 1963 and 1964 seasons. Belinsky and the already married Chance made the rounds in Hollywood, and probably became more famous for their off-the-field exploits than they did on a pitching mound.
After the season 1964 season in which Chance led the American League in wins with 20, ERA with 1.65, 15 complete games, 11 shutouts, and 278.1 innings pitched, Chance was rewarded with the Cy Young Award, at the time given out to only one pitcher in baseball. Chance also finished fifth in MVP voting behind Brooks Robinson, Mickey Mantle, Elston Howard and Tony Oliva. Chance pitched for the Angels from 1961-1966 before the Angels traded him along with shortstop Jackie Hernandez to the Minnesota Twins for 1B Don Mincher, outfielder Jimmie Hall and RHP Pete Cimino in December 1966.
The Twins just missed winning the pennant in 1967 but Dean Chance could not blamed for that as he went 20-14 and had a 2.73 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP in a league leading 283.2 innings with a league leading 18 complete games in 39 starts, again league leading. He had two no-hitters that season: a 5-inning perfect game (that's no longer an official no-hitter) and then a 2-1 no-hitter over Cleveland on August 25th. In 1968 Chance was 14-14 but had a stellar ERA 2.53 and a 0.98 WHIP in 292 innings. The 1969 Twins under Billy Martin won the AL Western Division with 97 wins but Dean Chance was only 5-4 in 15 starts due to a back injury and he missed all of June and July and this was the beginning of the end of Chance's baseball career. Chance's only playoff experience took place in game 3 of the 1969 ALCS in a mop-up role when he pitched 2 innings in a 11-2 Orioles win.
In December of 1969 the Twins traded Chance,RHP Bob Miller, 3B Graig Nettles, and OF Ted Uhlaender to the Cleveland Indians for RHP's Luis Tiant and Stan Williams. Chance was 9-8 for the Indians in 1970 before being sold to the New York Mets in September where he finished the season. The Mets then traded Chance to the Tigers in March of 1971 where he pitched in 31 games going 4-6 with a 3.51 ERA. The Tigers released Chance in October 1971 and the baseball career of Dean Chance was in the books.
Chance was known for getting his sign from the catcher and then turning his back to the batter until he threw the ball, that motion Chance said, shortened his career according to him, he felt he was lucky to last in the majors the 11 years that he did. As good a pitcher as Chance was, hitting was not his forte, he was a terrible hitter, batting a mere .066 in 662 at-bats for his career, striking out 420 times for one of the highest strikeout rates in history. Chance still holds the Minnesota Twins record for most consecutive at bats without a hit, in 1967 between April 19 and July 23 Chance was 0 for 52 with 35 strikeouts.
Dean Chance was tough on the New York Yankees and Mickey Mantle in particular although Mantle did hit .242 off Chance with three home runs. "Every time I see his name on a lineup card, I feel like throwing up" – Mickey Mantle. Mantle once uttered this memorable quote during Chance's remarkable 1964 season. As sportswriter Phil Pepe wrote that year, "It's Chance, not CBS, who owns the New York Yankees. Lock, stock and barrel." Chance pitched 50 innings against the Yankees that year, allowing only 14 hits and one run, a homer by Mantle. In five starts he threw four complete games and three shutouts, going 4-0 with a 0.18 ERA.
After his baseball ended at the age of 30 Dean Chance did not move to a rocking chair, he went into the carnival business where he owned numerous games "where you can win an item off the top shelf" and traveled all over the country. He was a boxing promoter for a while and he started and was still president of the International Boxing Association (IBA) when he died. Chance also invested in real estate, played Gin Rummy on a professional level and attended many sports memorabilia shows. It is ironic to me that he attended so many memorabilia shows because I mailed him numerous baseball cards over the years asking for his autograph but I never got a single card back, with or without an autograph. The man was one of baseball's great characters.
Rest in Peace Dean Chance and thank you for all the great memories.

Deadline: 5 February 2016
Open to: People between 16 and 30 years old coming from the Council of Europe member states
Dates: 22 – 24 March and 18-20 October 2016
"Conscious that direct involvement of youth in the affairs of society remains essential, as a safeguard for democracy and for sustainable development in the municipalities and regions", and in view of the apparent disengagement of young people from conventional political participation in recent years, the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe has been taking a closer look at the issue of youth participation. Its work over the past three years has concluded that, contrary to popular belief, young people are still committed to participating in society, however they are engaging differently in a society in which they feel marginalised from the political process.
Since October 2014, the Congress has been inviting young people from different backgrounds – youth activists, youth workers, students, young politicians – to take part in its sessions, to have their say in the debates and to exchange with Congress members on the issues on the agenda.
The Congress is a pan-European political assembly, its 648 members hold elective office (they may be regional or municipal councillors, mayors or presidents of regional authorities) and represent over 200,000 authorities in 47 European States. Its role is to promote local and regional democracy, improve local and regional governance and strengthen authorities' self-government. It meets in session twice a year.
The youth delegates, one per national delegation, should meet the following criteria:
- be open, committed and motivated to develop and strengthen dialogue between young people and elected representatives at local/regional level;
- be between 16 and 30 years old;
- have been resident in one of the Council of Europe member States for a minimum of five years; 2
- be a member of a local/regional youth council or parliament, or local/regional council or assembly or executive, or a representative of a youth NGO, or a youth-led structure, or involved in youth work, or a local or regional elected representative;
- be available and motivated to engage in the whole of the activity;
- have an interest in actively participating in policy making at local and/or regional levels;
- be able to multiply the information obtained during the session on their return home;
- speak English fluently (NB: during the sittings they may also speak in one of the official or working languages for which interpretation is provided (English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Turkish)).
The youth delegates' travel and subsistence expenses will be covered jointly by the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities and the European Youth Foundation according to the Council of Europe's rules. Accommodation will be provided and paid for by the organisers, in single-occupancy or shared rooms according to availability. The organisers cannot cover the cost of accommodation elsewhere.
Application Procedure
Those wishing to apply to take part in the 30th and 31st Congress sessions must do so by means of the application form enclosed. Participation in only one session is not possible.
Applicants must also submit a short video, for example via YouTube, of no more than 30 seconds, to support their application. The link to the video should be sent together with the application.
The deadline for submitting completed applications is Friday 5 February 2016.
The application form is available at the official webpage. Completed application forms must be sent to: firstname.lastname@example.com.
For Further Information and application form please visit the official webpage

The Pentagon ordered a sweeping suspension of retirements from the Air Force today to insure that enough pilots and other personnel are available to continue waging NATO's air war in the Balkans.
The order, another sign of the strain the war is putting on the American military, immediately affects more than 6,000 officers and enlisted personnel who already have indicated plans to retire between now and December.
But it will also postpone any new retirements by about 120,000 Air Force personnel with particular job skills, including virtually all pilots, as well as navigators, air traffic controllers, weather forecasters and intelligence analysts.
In all, the order affects 40 percent of the Air Force's 363,000 personnel; the other services, which have provided comparatively fewer forces to the campaign, are not affected.
The order underscored the depth of the American commitment to the war, which is already more than two months old and appears no closer to an end than when it began. It also made clear that the Pentagon, like the NATO allies, is preparing to conduct its military campaign well into the summer or fall, with consequences that will ripple across the armed services.Continue reading the main story
Wielding the same authority that allows him to activate reservists and National Guard members, President Clinton can in effect make military service obligatory, forcing personnel to stay on active duty beyond the tours they signed up for. The Air Force, which was struggling to stop pilots from quitting to join commercial airlines even before the war began, took pains to acknowledge the hardship such a step would cause.
''We are acutely aware that ours is a volunteer force and that this action, while essential to meeting our worldwide obligations, is inconsistent with fundamental principles of voluntary service,'' the Acting Secretary of the Air Force, F. Whitten Peters, said in a statement today. ''We also know that this action will adversely affect the lives of airmen and their families.''
The suspension is the first since August 1990, when the United States began to build up the force of more than 500,000 troops that ultimately reversed Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. President Clinton has already activated more than 5,000 reservists and guard members and authorized the call up of as many as 33,000.
The action came as the alliance pressed its air war with a withering new wave of strikes. At NATO's headquarters, spokesmen said that allied warplanes took advantage of clear weather and launched the heaviest night of raids so far, including 358 strike missions.
Over the 24 hours leading up to this afternoon, NATO warplanes hit 58 targets, including, for the second night in a row, a bunker beneath one of the villas of Yugoslavia's President, Slobodan Milosevic, outside of Belgrade. NATO also hit army barracks and armored forces in Kosovo.
[Early Thursday, Serbian news media reported strikes near Batajnica military airport near Belgrade, at an industrial zone in Nis and a communication tower near Novi Sad and on a hill near Belgrade where an underground military complex is believed to be located, The Associated Press said.]
Officials in Brussels and here in Washington have vowed to intensify the attacks. They said they want to put still more military pressure on Mr. Milosevic, even as he faces international diplomatic pressure, with the news that he is to be indicted on war-crimes charges.
But despite its successes in hitting Yugoslav forces, there is still little indication the air war has brought Mr. Milosevic closer to relenting and accepting NATO's demands to withdraw his forces from Kosovo and allow the province's ethnic Albanians to return to their homes.
Underscoring misgivings within the Pentagon about NATO's strategy, the Army's senior general said today that he had concerns over whether air power alone would force Mr. Milosevic to back down.
The senior general, Dennis J. Reimer, the Army's Chief of Staff, said that NATO's air campaign had inflicted enormous damage on the Yugoslav military and paramilitary forces but could not, even after more than two months of bombing, guarantee Mr. Milosevic's capitulation.
''I think it has been disruptive to him,'' General Reimer said in a breakfast interview with reporters. ''I think it has been highly effective, the air campaign, in terms of not losing any airmen. Whether it will actually succeed in bringing him to his knees and the five points that we have said are critical, or not, I just don't know yet.
''That's the hard part about it,'' he continued. ''You just don't know whether you're an hour away from him capitulating or whether you're months away.''
From the start, NATO's campaign has been met with reservation within the American military -- at least in private. Some senior officers, notably Gen. Charles C. Krulak, the Commandant of the Marine Corps, openly questioned the strategy before the bombing started, but General Reimer, who is stepping down as the Army's chief next June, was the first to detail his concerns so publicly.
''My view, in general terms, is that if you're going to use military force, using the total military force available to you is the right way to go,'' he said.
An ideal campaign, he said, combines air power with large, heavy ground forces. The Clinton Administration, like many NATO allies, has adamantly ruled out the use of ground troops to finish off the campaign against Mr. Milosevic.
He said he had had ''adequate opportunity'' to express his views in the internal debates that took place before the bombing began on March 24. He also said the decision to rely on an air war had to be understood in the context of NATO's consensus approach to making war.
''I think it was Napoleon who said, if you want to fight a war, make sure it's against a coalition,'' he said.
-------------------- 12,000 British Troops Prepare
By The New York Times
BRUSSELS, May 26 -- Signaling its strong backing for the deployment of ground troops, Britain today ordered 12,000 soldiers to prepare to join an expanded NATO peacekeeping force for Kosovo.
NATO decided on Tuesday to add to the pressure on the Yugoslav President, Slobodan Milosevic.Continue reading the main story

A GIRL aged two was found wandering beside a busy road after escaping from a nursery.
Shocked onlookers told how the badly-shaken tot was almost hit by a learner driver's car before she was rescued by a passer-by.
She strolled out of the nearby council-run Granton Children and Families Centre in Edinburgh — where staff FAILED to report her disappearance to police.
Last night witness Ian Fleming, 30, described how he'd spotted the distressed youngster in the street at 11am.
He said: "She could have been taken by someone. Anything could have happened. The girl was crying but a lady managed to calm her down. Luckily, she was too young to know what being missing means. Hopefully she won't be too shaken up about nearly being run over."
Ian added: "The first thing that entered my head was my four-year-old and two-year-old.
"When you drop your children off in the morning you expect them to be safe."
An investigation has been launched into how the tot managed to elude nursery staff on Thursday.
The centre is surrounded by high fences on all sides but a gate to the rear is believed to have been left unlocked.
Sources say that, when the girl was returned the nursery, staff were aware she was missing but had not reported it to the police.
The Lothian and Borders force confirmed they were told by a "member of the public".
Last night Edinburgh City Council could not confirm how many nursery workers had been on duty on Thursday.
But Paul Godzik, convener of the authority's children and families committee, said: "Initial feedback is that the incident was due to human error.
"A gate only used as an emergency exit appears to have been left unlocked.
"Disciplinary action will be taken as part of this investigation."

Ferrari demonstrates F12tdf's rear-wheel steering [Video]
Ferrari has released a demonstration video showcasing the F12tdf's rear-wheel steering and handling improvements.
Engineers faced several challenges when attempting to improve cornering ability while maintaining balanced vehicle dynamics. Adding wider front tires — jumping from 255 to 275 millimeters — was the first step toward improved lateral acceleration.
"This modification guarantees higher lateral acceleration generated by the front axle but, alone, this would have caused oversteer on the limit, making the car more challenging for less expert drivers," Ferrari said.
To resolve the understeer issue for "gentlemen drivers," the company implemented a rear-wheel steering system known as Virtual Short Wheelbase. The technology is not exactly new, with several similar systems currently available in cars ranging from the Acura RLX to the Porsche 918 Spyder. The Prancing Horse boasts a performance-focused integration of the rear-wheel controls into the car's other dynamic control systems.
Aside from mitigating dreaded understeer, the active rear axles are also said to improve steering-wheel response, turn in and high-speed stability. Longitudinal acceleration has increased from 0.59 g to 0.70 g, while maximum lateral forces jumped from 1.25 g to 1.43 g.
Despite the extra gear, the F12tdf actually sheds a few hundred pounds from the standard Berlinetta model. The V12 has been retuned to take full advantage of the lighter build, bringing output up to 769 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque.
Ferrari will only build 799 examples of the special-edition F12, each presumably fetching well above the Berlinetta's $320,000 price tag.

A woman in Virginia, who fell on hard times after quitting her job to care for her dying father, has been living in her broken-down car, with her senior dog who she considers to be family, for two months. According to WUSA 9 News, Leslie Fields worked in retail management for 30 years, but she quit her job to care for her dad and she has not been able to secure a new job, in part, because of her 12-year-old dog, Penny.
Living in a car, with only a hair-dryer for heat, makes it difficult to find a job – especially if it means leaving Penny behind. Fields explained to WUSA 9 News, "She doesn't deserve to sit in a car. She doesn't deserve to sleep in the car."
Fields fortunes may finally be turning…a week ago she reached out to Homeward Trails Animal Rescue and shared her difficult plight. The rescue agency immediately set out to help. The first order of business as to get Penny to a veterinarian for an exam and vaccinations, and then a temporary home was located for the senior dog. Penny will remain in the foster home until Fields can find a job, and a home where they both can live.
Sue Bell with Homeward Trails Animal Rescue explained why the group wanted to help, "It was clear from her email that she was a woman who desperately loved and was committed to her pet. And was just going through a rough time."
The rescue organization is committed to helping Penny's owner as well – the group has set up a fundraiser to help Fields as she tries to get back on her feet. The fundraiser explains, "Funds are being sought for Leslie to find a place to live other than her car, food and clothes to help her get by day to day, and for car repairs so that she can get to job interviews." The response to the fundraiser has been positive – so far, over $1600 has been raised. Click here to read more and see how you can help.

Note: Fields is currently seeking employment in the DC area

I was told that this place got it's hands on a cook or 2 from Caesar sweets (7alawiyat Qay9ar) and is now selling Caesar's famous pizzas, croissants and other pastry dishes.
I tried some of their stuff and the pizza tasted good but not as good as Caesar's since the dough was a bit dry and then over sauced. The Croissants however were identical! (Shameless recipe theft) Read the rest of this entry »
When I first heard about the idea of a modern Kuwaiti cafe I remember thinking "why would I go to a starbucks wannabe and have Kuwaiti milk at an outing?" That was harsh, I know, but that was how I felt. But then after trying their Cardamom & Saffron Milk at work, that thought evaporated. Having that Kuwaiti milk in a paper cup at work cozied up the place. I totally changed my mind about the place! I think it's an amazing idea and I wish them the best of luck.
The current branch is located right behind Gulf Bank's head office. And I was just told that Haleeb w Hail, the new modern "Kuwaiti" cafe is opening up another branch at the Avenues.
Thanks Om Hamoody

My friend ½ Cream Milk just told me that the Voluntary work center (photography center) are having their 9th exhibition at the avenues mall. I went last year and I enjoyed what I've seen. All the photos are taken by members of the center, and my friend contributed 4 of them. Not to be biased, all of their works are great, but I liked my friend's work the most.
Make sure to pay a visit and see what they have to offer.
Where: In and the avenues phase II near Aïshti and Samsonite.
When: Open from 29th of december to 2nd of january.
Time: All the time.
Since my office got shifted to a new location, my computer position also changed, and my screen now has been easily looked at by collegues and they'd know everything I do. No privacy.

Don't u feel that suddenly every one want to get white teeth? I know it's a good thing and who wouldn't want white teeth or whiter teeth in some cases. But I feel that it's the new thing now. You hear about it everywhere and even see it on TV advertisements (which became 2 ads without me realizing at first!). And I can't deny it, it does make the biggest difference in someone's face and smile, so why not I guess.
There are some popular methods for example going to the dentist and having it professionally done or using whitestrips, and I think there are some teeth whitening pastes….I am sure that some of u are blessed with white teeth but my question is for normal people, did u try any of these methods? tell us ur experience and recommendations

I told you one time about Applebee's and their Cowboy BBQ Sirloin Fajitas. I just went to their Mishref branch and had the same order again. I asked the waitress to make sure the fajita is cooked to medium, and again I was surprised at how good it is (we're talking about Applebee's here, so when I say good, I mean by their standards). This fajita is juicy and tender when it's medium. I like it.
I had lunch at the Noodle House recently to try out their new addition to the menu. They added Green Chicken Curry, a dish I used to worship back in Dubai. Unfortunately it was way below my expectations.. it was too spicey (take into consideration that I'm a spicey food lover myself) I couldn't enjoy the food because of how hot it was, and the chicken was a bit on the stinky side, and the curry itself was too concentrated and thick. I hope they get their act together soon.
A couple of days ago rumors spread that Zain has blocked iPhone's 'WhatsApp" application, and I didn't know how these rumors spread since I have the application running with no problems whatsoever. Turns out that the Application itself had an update that affected only some of it's users, incidently some of the users are Zain users:
* Bouygues Telecom, France
* SingTel, Singapore
* M1, Singapore
* Mobily, Saudi Arabia
* Zain, Kuwait
* Optus, Australia
Some time later WhatsApp released another update to fix this bug. So if you updated your application and it stopped working, update again to the latest version v2.4 and it'll solve the problem.
Someone told me today about this studio and how creative the guy who runs the place is. I took one look at his portfolio and thought this guy should get more exposure (not that he isn't doing great mashallah, I was told he is booked for a solid week ahead). His pictures and ideas are refreshing.
"Hamad Alshaijy, is a kuwaiti Photographer, who has established his own Studio of Modern and stylish Photography. He has got his Diploma in photography from UK. He is One of the Memberes in the Kuwait Voluntary Work Center ( KVWC ) Photography and Documentary Team."
His studio is located in Burj Jassim and it's called Mémoire studio.

August Moon
August Moon
The August moon is beaming down
It keenly seems to say
Enjoy my warm rays while you can
Before they slip away.
Splendid is a leisurely stroll
On a dog day afternoon
Star-studded is the evening sky
Beneath the August moon.
Nature is at its finest
Summer has reached its peak
It is time to store sweet memories
As autumn skies turn bleak.
Oh, August moon so fair and true
One thing that I must know
Why must you take the summer sun
And roses when you go?

Hull 22 London Broncos 14: hosts hang on after Sam Moa dismissal sparks fightback
Sending-off of Hull prop bucks up London Broncos and ensures nervous finale before home side claim victory at KC Stadium
It took the sending-off of Sam Moa, the Hull prop who knocked out Julien Rinaldi with a shoulder charge to the face, to wake London from their slumbers at the KC Stadium last night. Even with their numerical advantage for the last 20 minutes of a torpid match up to that point, the Broncos could not overhaul grimly determined opponents.
From coasting at 22-4, until Moa's crude intervention, Hull conceded two tries — only one of them converted by Michael Witt — but clung on to their first win of the Stobart Super League season.
Peter Gentle, their coach, described the red card as an overreaction but was delighted by the response of his players, eight days after the frustration of having their game against…

Gay friendly
Members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community here are not persecuted for their sexual orientation, Attorney General Adriel Brathwaite has said.
In seeking to dispel "the notion that homosexuals and lesbians were being targeted across the island", Brathwaite told Canadian High Commissioner Marie Legault during a courtesy call Wednesday that although buggery was still illegal in Barbados, this did not impact consenting adults, according to a release from the Barbados Government Information Service (BGIS).
The Attorney General told the Canadian diplomat that Barbados remained one of the Caribbean islands where gays could exist without fearing for their lives, while stressing that citizens have always been aware and very "tolerant" of same-sex relations within the society, BGIS said.
The Canadian government representative told Brathwaite her country "thrives on diversity", and she hoped that Barbados would eventually come to a place where it was "different from the rest of the Caribbean".
Members of the LGBT community have often complained of a lack of tolerance by the Barbadian public, and discrimination by the business community.
Founder of Barbados Gays, Lesbians and All-Sexuals against Discrimination (BGLAD) Donnya Piggott told a symposium on gender-based violence last November that members of the community were being denied employment because of their lifestyles.
The BGLAD president also charged that members of the LGBT community were facing domestic challenges, with some of them being kicked out of their homes and ostracized in their neighbourhoods.
Just last month the National Youth Parliament lost its prime minister after Government intervened in a debate on LGBT rights.
A resolution drafted by the young parliamentarians to reflect their concerns about discrimination – in particular that which affects members of the gay community – was altered at the last minute by officials of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Youth, which has oversight over the youth parliament, forcing prime minister Roshanna Trim to quit.

"hoped that Barbados would eventually come to a place where it was different from the rest of the Caribbean". In other words, be a sucker for wickedness and allowing the public to become infected with your serpent infected garbage.
Thank you for your reasoned analysis.
I hope it never happens…if our creator intended for men to be with men or women with women he would only have created one sex, either everyone would be male or everyone would be female…two women or two men can't create a baby.
@ Adriel Brathwaite ahahaha but ordinary citizens such as myself are being DISCRIMINATED upon tho….
Love and respect is a god given right to every being on this earth. Until the government begin to promote mutual respect for all its citizens and furthermore put proper legislation to ensure that there are penalties for acts of discrimination and marginalization of the LGBT community then the situation I fear will not get much better.
@, Jennifer, hail, hail, as usual on the button , I think i am decades older than you , I could remember going to Oistins as a very young man, with friends and enjoying the best fish cakes from this guy call (Henry).they were lots of men and women then indulging in they past time , as what we call now gay……………..
This was never an issue in Barbados , this guy needs to get on with doing something more responsible , stop being stupid ,,,, bajans / black people must understand , whatever white man wants white man gets , cha , cha , cha , cha…..black people like it or lump it , black people we are always up against it , because we have no one or nothing to protect us……………………………
What is honesty,,, what is deceit, you hate gay people , but yet still lots of trusted people in our societies , are sexually assaulting our young girls with parents hiding the fact thats is happening.. look at the religions all over the world……………………………..
jrsmith – all praises. The other party getting into power will finish nail us down to the ground, for sure. They should cause that balloon to finally pop, from all sides, the weak will be come strong and the strong will be cast to the ground. Watch, bestiality, underage sex, gay marriage, the whole lot will be implemented on this so called godly island. Mind you that lot of overseers also known as the "sponge" has to soak up everything or else. And when you dealing with fish you must smell stink. But I tell you when that cauldron light……………………………..
We have truly become a bunch of compartmentalized nincons. Every piece of VOMIT/spit up we have to swallow down, and we sit in the belly of the great whale like our brother Jonah, waiting for deliverance from our enemies.
@Jennifer. Where did you get the idea that there is a right or wrong sexuality? Please don't tell me the same place that the white slave owners and Hitler got the idea that there is a right and wrong race and ethnicity. Or that you must worship a cross and only engage in sexual intercourse with the one person you are permitted to marry.
@Bajan – Sweet – Well I certainly will not tell you anything about that HITler, white slave owners, or cross worshipers because they are all responsible for the same bulling conundrum. We can thank them for all of that.
I grew up In Barbados with all types of gay friendly people, they were respected and love, men were address as Miss Bossie, Miss Calvin etc etc a class of their own, this type of class don't exist anymore.
The new Gay world–the problem is not sexual preference, the problem is they don't have respect for themselves, unprotected sex with any tom dick and harry is their goal.
You must know from personal experience.
Barbados is known for that life style, as the saying goes, "for donkey years" but as barbados is a one deceitful place, they don`t even know which side of the fence they are or want to be. They`re many storeys of wives that though that their husbands were men until they were caught red handed, ask Naked Departure. As the minister is trying to say that barbados is tolerent, why then so many are closeted and would be quick to take a person to court for saying it like it is.
"… although buggery was still illegal in Barbados, this did not impact consenting adults." Can you say "hypocrisy"?
Complete opposite of what you & your cabinet colleges were saying last year…..but bajans memory short is the popular saying…..smdh
Look at these black people spewing hate at their brothers and sisters because they are gay. We don't have short memories, we have selected memories. Pretend that we don't remember the days when the white people considered themselves the superior race and decided to enslave, brutalized and kill black people simply because we are different. And they used the bible to justify and make righteous their actions. They even condemned sexual intercourse between blacks and whites as an abomination. Up to this day the whites continue to treat black people as inferior and deserving of a servitude position in the human family. More recent history in the 70s and 80s when black society, descendants of slaves, decided that Rastafarian was evil. The Caribbean countries, including Barbados, heavily discriminated against Rastas because they were different and did not interpret the bible as society did. Rastas were hunted and murdered at will in some Caribbean countries. Now we, the black race, are accepting that we are morally superior tp others because of sexual preference and we demand that those others be subjected to our way or become victims of our hostility.
@Bajan – I sense your frustration and the need to defend. Is is selected memory or willful blindness, or dear I say a LACK of that good ole edication. All of what you are saying STILL currently exist. Mind you, white people are a recessive people. If you EXAMINE things with a MORAL CONSCIENCE. white people are the direct cause of all the wickedness, tyranny, oppression and moral decay in the world. Did you know that the white man was buggering the black man on the plantations??? giving them regularly to drop over friends for overnight pleasure too. hence……………….
Check the Vatican/church lot…………………………
And whites were correct to condemn copulation between whites and blacks, mind you the white men had had their FULL share of the black kitties already. White will CONTINUE to treat blacks in that manner because blacks keep SEEKING the love and approval of such people. Giving all of their love and heart and soul to them which they are flourishing and basking in under their supremacy network. The day we stop supporting THEIR MOVEMENTS, SPORTING ACTIVITIES, STORES, HOLIDAYS, CHRISTIANITY etc we will come out in glory and GIANTS in the earth.
@Jennifer. Good commentary. Food for thought.
Maybe you can explain it.
@Johnston. Somethings cannot be explained, only experienced. This experience causes an awakening which leads to knowledge and understanding.
I think I'm about to be sick.
LGBT's are not really 'attacked' physically in Barbados but they can be attacked verbally.

Mardi Gras is February 28th and it's our theme for tonight's Friday Frivolity.
Here are a few ways you can celebrate Mardi Gras with the kids that's family friendly fun.
Paper plate masks are a common kid's craft you see for Mardi Gras because they're so ridiculously easy. You cut out the shape of your mask, decorate and add a Popsicle stick to hold it in place. Deidre from JDaniel4's Mom used leftover pizza boxes.
Plastic masks are also crazy simple and easy because the masks come pre-cut from the store. Campfires and Cleats did this and you can check out the ones her family made.
Paper Cup Maracas
I loved to make these in elementary school. You use two plastic cups with beans or rice inside taped together to get the sound. You can decorate as you'd like. Activity Village UK painted their cups green and purple for the celebration. There's a variation they did with water bottles that I like too. For the little littles it may be a more secure option.
Shoebox Floats
This is my favorite because everyone in the family could make one and you could have your own parade at home. You decorate shoeboxes in the style of the parade floats. I've seen some crafters on Pintrest use spray painted dolls or animal figures as their mascots. New Orleans Moms Blog goes into detail on how to do it and has tons of other ideas as well.
Have you ever been to Mardi Gras or thrown a Mardi Gras party?

The Serpis Wild Side Cafe in Bandra
It was raining outside. We heard classic rock music and aromas of barbequed chicken on an open grill lingered in the air. The Serpis' Wild Side Café in Bandra took us in.
This fairly new, tiny eatery next to The Yoga House and St. Andrews Church reminded us of those walk-in diners in horror movies, that you find on road trips leading to nowhere. And one by one, everyone disappears. Except only this one is right next to a crowded Bandra lane, with known faces to smile at. No disappearing acts here.We were safe. And hungry! A meaty menu is what you can find here, with options of the classic hamburger, pork ribs, prawn toast, beef fillet with ham and cheese, along with pastas, pizzas, sandwiches, hot dogs and a breakfast menu. We liked their creamy Carbonara and Mexican sauce with our chicken main. Very reasonably priced too, The Serpis' Wild Side Café is definitely your go-to place for a hearty meal at a very affordable price.
More often than not, a friendly dog will be sitting by your table. The Serpis' Wild Side Café is open every day from 8 am till 10 pm.

Shri 5 Maha Mangalpuri Dham, Surat, Gujarat
and its sacred places.
Chale jagavan saathko, Shri Prannath bhartar."
- (Bitak Punjabki by Shri Khanchandji)
Situated on the bank of the holy river Tapi, the so-called daughter of the Sun God of light, thoroughly engrossed in full essence of devotion like Lord Krishna and Radha of Vrindavan, and quite similar to the most religious and spiritual knowledge places of God Shiva's Kashi, is Surat.
Since ancient times, keeping the harmony of these two streams, Devotion and knowledge, Nishkalank Buddhavatar Mahamati Shri Prannathji established the religious throne - the religious traditional throne by the grace of which with a view to reach the salvation place - Paramdham, to awake the latent soul of Brahma Shristi - on the prestigious and pious land of Surat. Thus proclaimed the preaching of Sadguru Shri Devchandraji Maharaj's generation.
On Vikram Samvat 1729, in the month of Ashadha, 2nd day of the bright fortnight in auspicious Abhijit Muhurt, Shri Prannathji was officially postured to this religious throne by the entire Supreme being - the so-called Aksharatit almighty "Shri Raj - Lord Krishna" who really invested and convened thy power upon him and held his hands to be eligible for the same post. First amongst all, Maharani Baijuraj offered the prayer to Shri Prannathji by lighting the lamps and thereafter all the gathered Sundersath (devotees) - about 3700 - collectively offered their prayers by lighting the sacred lamps to Shri Prannathji and Maharani Baijuraj jointly. The divine words of the prayer being:
Akhand dhani Shri Raj, Shri Jiyavar ni arti…"
Thereafter, all the Sundesathji, in Surat, started to proclaim salutations such as Shri Anand Mangal Shri Dham Dhaniju ki jai, Shri Yugal Swaroop ki jai, Shri Baijuraj Maharaniju ki jai,, etc. all of which are still being recited during all auspicious occassions. Hence, the establishment of this religious preceptor's throne of all the Nijanand sect took place. Shri Prannath stayed there continuously for 17 months to perform the knowledge and eternal bliss regarding the books - Raas, Prakash, Shatritu, and Kalash. The religious discourses and preachings of which being the greatest auspicious work started for the first time in this sacred land of Surat. And that's why it is called the highest resort of salvation and declared as the place of pilgrimage popularly known as - Maha Mangalpuri Dham, Surat.
In Jamnagar, Sadguru Shri Devchandraji Maharaj said to Shriji (Prannathji):
Mohe uthay tum baitho, Par na hove kahu aur."
"to view with reverence the salvation place - Paramdham, is totally in the hands of the Supreme being - Hukum. That's possible at a single place only. If you desire to view Paramdham, you may depose me from this throne, you have to be sitting at this throne then only will you be able to view the same". Of course, unless and until you are not subrogated by your superior Dhani to sit on this throne, it is never possible for you to become Mahamati or Prannath.
Ab mein hui jaher, Dekhya vatan Shri Dham."
Hence, since his coronation as a preceptor on this religious throne at Surat, Prannath could perfectly know his superior Dhani, and he became Mahamati Prannath. He could now view Paramdham and he was known as Nishkalank Buddhavatar in the universe. At this particular Maha Mangalpuri Dham, Mahamati Prannath vowed like Bhishma that -
Indravati na chhode tinko, Pahunchave pakad hath."
"Anybody amongst the Sundersath, either handicapped or disabled, the soul of Indravati will hold his hand to take him/her to the salvation place but will never abandom him/her. "
Hence, it is strongly believed that in this highest pilgrim place Surat, Mahamati Prannath and Maharani Baijuraj, by their post and power endowed upon them, still remain here and will remain here forever.
Naad vansh gadi par sohe nihkai hai.
Nitya hi viraje guru roop se Shri Prannath,
Jinake pad bandete darshan nijdham hai."
Thus this ancient, sacred and religious throne of Shri Maha Mangalpuri Dham, Surat was established by Shri Mahamati Prannath.
This is a place in Surat. It is here that Shri Prannathji was offered the sectarian leadership [Gadi] for the first time and was adorned by the name of Prannath. As this pious work was performed here in Surat, it has been named as Shri 5 Maha Mangalpuri Dham. Even today thousands of pilgrims visit this place in Saiyadpura. It is known as 'Mota Mandir'.
It is at this place that the house of Navarang Swami [Mukunddasji] is situated. When he accepted the discipleship of Prannathji, he gave his body, mind, wealth and everything at the feet of his preceptor (Guru). A temple was constructed there and it is known today by the name of Shri Krishna Pranami Mandir Gopipura.
Temple of Bahucharaji:
Bahucharaji is the name of a Goddess. It is said that a saint from Navatanpuri Dham reached there with 'Shri Mukhvani' and gave discourses for a week. After it was over, the goddess Bahucharaji appeared before him and asked him to place 'Shai Mukhvani' in her temple. As that saint came from Navatanpuri, this temple is under the possession of Navatanpuri Dham. Here Pranamis and non-Pranamis both come to visit and to have their desires fulfilled.
Shri Shyamdas Maharajni Deri:
Shri Shyandasji Maharaj was a great ascetic in the tradition of sectation leadership of Mahamangalpuri Dham, Surat. He had asked to keep his 'Samadhi' near the temple after he left this abode but it was not done and his 'Samadhi' was kept far off near a river. During the British rule, engineers tried to construct a railway there but were not successful. Then they decided to dig up the place and found the blood of a living saint. They constructed a small temple there and decided to give forty four rupees for its maintenance.

Many people know about the Harrier's exploits during "Operation Corporate," the UK's offensive to reclaim the Falkland Islands in 1982. The two Royal Navy carriers that played a key role in countering Argentina's air force, which outnumbered the Royal Navy's embarked Harrier fleet by a factor of three, as well as supporting ground forces and attacking key targets, were the HMS Invincible and HMS Hermes. What many do not know was that there were actually a number of other "aircraft carriers" deployed to the region by the UK's Ministry Of Defense for the war. Primarily, these were the SS Atlantic Conveyor and the SS Atlantic Causeway, both requisitioned by the Ministry of Defense under the Ships Taken Up From Trade (STUFT) system on short notice to be put into use as large resupply ships for the British Fleet, as well as improvised helicopter and Harrier carriers.
These ships would utilize their massive fore-decks, and smaller aft-decks, as aircraft holding and staging areas. After being packed with helicopters and supplies back in England the SS Atlantic Conveyor sailed to Ascension Island, a remote British stronghold in the center of the Atlantic Ocean, in April of 1982. There she would be boarded by over a dozen Harriers, a mix of Sea Harrier FRS1s and Harrier GR3s, who had made their way to Ascension Island via a 4600 mile flight with the help of Victor Mk2 aerial tankers. A few of the Harriers remained at Ascension island as a rudimentary quick reaction alert detachment in case Argentina attempted to attack the key outpost, although the likelihood of such an attack was apparently quite low. More capable RAF Phantoms would arrive at Ascension Island just days later, relieving the Harriers of their point defense role on the island
Leaving Ascension Island, the SS Atlantic Conveyor would be stuffed with six Wessex and five Chinook helicopters, and fourteen Harriers along with tons of other supplies to support the remote military operation. Aircraft on the deck were stored between walls of containers, for both stealth and protection from corrosive salt water. All aircraft were wrapped in custom plastic covers for their journey south. Although a pair of Sea Harrier FRS1s were armed with a pair of sidewinders and sat alert "cocked and locked" for the voyage in an attempt to field some form of aerial defense for the unarmed commercial ship.
By mid May the Atlantic Conveyor had made it to the Falklands area of operations and her precious Harrier cargo was dispatched off her fore-deck launch pad to the decks of the HMS Invincible and HMS Hermes. The GR3s going to the Hermes exclusively, and the Sea Harriers being split amongst the two vessels evenly to reinforce the existing Harrier force. The Atlantic Conveyor continued on as a helicopter carrier and forward re-arming point over the next week until tragedy struck. The unarmed and unarmored merchant ship, which had a massive radar cross-section and thus was incredibly easy to detect by marauding fighter jets, was struck by a pair of French built Exocet anti-ship missiles launched by Argentine Super Etendard attack aircraft. Only one Chinook was airborne at the time, callsign Bravo November, an aircraft that would go on to be one of the most famed and lucky helicopters in history (stay tuned for an upcoming post regarding the mystique surrounding RAF Chinook Bravo November). The sea-skimming missiles hit the Atlantic Conveyor's fuel storage tanks, unimpeded by armor, and the vessel was set ablaze. Once the fire finally went out the ship was a deemed a total loss and scuttled.
The successful attack on the defenseless SS Atlantic Conveyor resulted in the loss of every heavy lift helicopter the UK had in theater aside from the aforementioned Chinook now known as "Bravo November," in effect an aerial assault on Port Stanley would be impossible. Instead UK troops would have to march across the Island in order to reach their objective.
Just days after the SS Atlantic Conveyor was lost, her sister ship, the SS Atlantic Causeway had reached the war zone, packed with 8 Sea King and 20 Wessex helicopters. This ship was outfitted more elaborately than the Atlantic Conveyor for sustained flight operations, with a hangar bay fabricated onto the bow of the ship and full service aviation fueling system was installed. Some say that she even had a ski-jump to operate Harriers at gross weights, although this was not the case, although such a design was floated at one time. She would remain active as carrier throughout the rest of the conflict and would amass over 4000 helicopter landings while in service, and refueling over 500 aircraft in the process.
Two other smaller merchant ships would act as helicopter carriers in the Falklands theater, one continuing her military service life decades past her temporary commissioning had expired. The container ships M/V Astronomer and M/V Contender Bezant were also drafted into Royal Navy service under the STUFT program and were modified for aircraft transport and sustained helicopter operations. By the mid 1980's the M/V Astronomer had been restored to her original configuration and returned to service as a commercial container ship. The M/V Contender Bezant on the other hand was bought outright by the Royal Navy Auxiliary and went through a deep refit in the mid 1980's. She was renamed the RNA Argus and used as an aviation training ship, with her long open stern resembling a flight deck of a frigate, destroyer, or aircraft carrier, complete with a small utility island structure. She was also outfitted with large medical facilities and used as a militarized hospital ship. She would serve in almost every major conflict to this day, being on station recently in the Persian Gulf as a Sea King ASaCs7 helicopter base. Most notably she was used as the UK's primary hospital ship during Operation Telic, the UK's part in the invasion and occupation of Iraq starting in 2003.
The little known tale of the SS Atlantic Conveyor, SS Atlantic Causeway and their smaller cousins were minor yet intriguing details within the history of modern warfare, yet their stories may be more relevant today than ever. The UK's decision to leverage VTOL aircraft, the Harrier and helicopters in this case, on a modified commercial roll-on-roll-off freighter in a time of need is a clear progenitor of what the US Navy calls "Sea Basing" today, a strategy that is currently in its infancy but could change the way the US fights wars in the future on a grand scale. Under current US strategy, Sea Basing will appear in its first iteration as a mobile platform ship that can work as an artery for transferring vehicles and material off large roll-on-roll-off military sea-lift ships and helicopter transports and onto other vessels that will transfer them to land, such as a seized beachhead or shallow port etc. This would allow large-scale invasion operations to take place without an adjacent land base needed to support a ground assault. Whereas the Marines have always been able to deliver a heavy combat punch amphibiously, Sea Basing will allow the Army and their vehicles to get into the fight when deprived of a land avenue into the conflict. The Sea Basing concept could one day see the fielding of large barge like structures, in a modular configuration, that could be assembled to create massive fortresses at sea. Even floating runways, much larger than any aircraft carrier and able to operate conventional fixed wing fighter and transport aircraft are a real possibility depending of how the Sea Basing concept continues to evolve.
Ripped from recent headlines, the aging marine transport dock USS Ponce is being recycled as a mobile special operations Sea Base that will float in the Persian Gulf. Such a craft is not only able to sustain persistent maritime and aviation operations but it also can transport itself and much of its gear to the theater of operations, without heavy reliance on military transport aircraft. Much like the SS. Atlantic Causeway and Conveyor, the Ponce will operate as a helicopter carrier and fast boat launching platform for surveillance missions and assaults on key targets around the littorals of the Persian Gulf. You can read more about the USS Ponce's special operations rebirth, and it's similar Sea Basing roots by clicking the link below:
Although innovation such as Sea Basing is nothing new, some of the lessons that have been taught the hard way regarding such a strategy should be taken into full account as America looks toward the Pacific and this companion strategy to operate in its vast expanses. During the Falklands conflict the Atlantic Conveyor and Causeway were more than adequate solutions for the job of transporting key supplies and operating as improvised aircraft carriers. What they had going for them in operational capability and convenience was tragically overshadowed by what they lacked in armor and defenses. Sea Basing using massive commercial ships is cost-effective and expedient but it's not exactly safe, just look at what happened to the Atlantic Conveyor. She was a massive radar target and lacked even rudimentary point defense systems, and countermeasures such as jamming equipment or even radar confusing chaff. In other words, she was a sitting duck of high strategic value. The Exocet missiles that speared her may not have had such devastating results if the ship were of military grade as her vulnerabilities would have been armored against such attacks. If she had even rudimentary defenses she may not have been struck at all. Instead she was not only vulnerable but she was also soft, resulting in a total loss of the vessel, her strategic cargo, and most important many of her crew.
The US Navy should take this lesson to heart, and really evaluate if commercially available off the shelf maritime solutions are really worth the savings when it comes to Sea Basing associated assets. At a minimum, bolt on close in weapon systems (CIWS) should be outfitted and key areas should be armored in order to deter or even survive such an attack. Relying on guided missile destroyers and cruisers for surrogate defense is great, but in any future war against a well armed adversary the Navy will see tens if not hundreds of weapons launched at key naval combatants during a single attack. The enemy knows that in most cases all it takes it one weapon to break through an overwhelmed layered defense network to ruin the Navy's day. In the future, assets involved with Sea Basing have to be properly equipped to deal with these "last line of defense" situations or else the story of the SS Atlantic Conveyor may come back to haunt those in command who decided otherwise.
In the end the improvised aircraft carriers and sea bases of the Falklands War can paint a vivid picture of how valuable such capabilities can be when operating in a denied territory, far way from sufficient land basing and a steady logistics train. But it also highlights the vulnerability of such concepts unless proper precautions are taken when it comes to their protection. In a world of shrinking naval fleets and looming possibilities of future wars in areas where naval power projection will be absolutely key to obtaining any kind of victory, a balance will need to be struck between the convenience and risk when it comes to Sea Basing and it's many moving and in some cases un-hardened parts…

Travis Preston's supercross season this year has been quite a ride. It all started at Anaheim one, when Bubba, Thain and Gosselaar fell in the 125 main. Travis went on to win the race, along with the fans at Anaheim giving a memorable speech. Now, the young man finds himself in second place with three races left. The talent packed 125 western division of the EA Sports Supercross series will be one to watch as Travis tries to take the title he has wanted for a very long time. As crazy as this season has been he just might do it.
TransWorld Motocross: In the down time for the western region 125 series what have you been doing?
Travis Preston: I've been meditating and getting ready. I have a big break. It's something like six weeks, I need to stay focused and try to win Houston.
TWMX: I don't know if you are aware, but you have made a lot of fans with those podium speeches of yours.
TP: I've had some people come up and ask me how come I changed my number from 199 and they ask me why I am riding a Honda (laughter). A lot of people get me confused with Travis Pastrana. I am Travis Preston not Travis Pastrana. I can see how my podium speeches make some believe I am Pastrana, if the fans like them it's cool.
TWMX: Are you trying to be funny on the podium? It seems like you are being sarcastic with Jamie (Little) when she is interviewing you.
TP: I am being a little sarcastic, I am really not that funny and if I try to be funny I won't be funny so I just say whatever I want and usually it's something sarcastic. No I'm not funny, my girlfriend tells me all the time I am not funny. I am never going to get on the podium and try to be funny. I just want to be myself. If people find me funny then that's cool and if they don't, just don't boo me.
TWMX: Tell the readers about yourself. I am sure a lot of fans want to know who Travis Preston is.
TP: I was born in Santa Ana, CA. which is right by Anaheim Stadium. When I was 10 or 11 I moved up to Hesperia CA. Hesperia is in the dirty desert, we moved there to pursue my racing career. It was a lot easier to ride up in the desert. I could shoot out of my bedroom and ride out of the house. So that worked out really good. My amateur career kind of wasn't good. I grew up riding with guys like Kevin Windham, Kevin was winning and I was getting fourths and fifths. I never got any free bikes during my amateur career. Things haven't started going good till lately so I am pumped.
TWMX: How old are you now?
TP: I'm 24
TWMX: How is everything on your new team? Factory Connection has really assembled quite a 125 squad this year. Your team is a force now.
TP: It's awesome. Rick has put a lot of effort into the team this year. Honda has really helped the team out more than they ever have. Their 125 program this year is huge. We are doing a lot of testing, and they really want to do good this year. Everyone is just working so hard to make it happen, from the truck driver to the mechanics and its just paying off. Everyone on this team is really focused. Everyone has a deep desire to win.
TWMX: You hear a lot of people talking about how slow the CR125 is, yet your team is so competitive on the machines. Is it the support from Honda, or the fact that there are great riders on them?
TP: You saw what Chris and I rode last year, and the results. This year, you can see the difference in the results. The 2002 CR125 is so good this year. I want to ride it all the time. Even my practice bike is so fast. I just can't say enough good things about the bike. Honda does a lot, don't get me wrong, but I rode my bike stock for a month and a half and I love the thing.
TWMX: Looking forward to the outdoor nationals, do you consider yourself a better supercross rider or a better outdoor rider?
TP: I don't know because I have always considered myself a better outdoor rider. I think I am a better outdoor rider, but my results in supercross this year have been good. I can't wait to see what I am capable of doing outside; I am really looking forward to it.
TWMX: What do you do when the seasons over and you want to get away from motocross? Do you golf or something?
TP: I love to go snowboarding, but I have not got to do much of that this year. Right when the snow season is here I have to start testing. I like to wakeboard, when we get done with racing in September, the air and water is still warm enough. When those things aren't happening I will just ride bicycles, BMX mostly. Racing for me has been full time this year. When I am not racing or testing I am sitting on the couch resting from all the riding. So that's it, I lead a boring life.
TWMX: You have to give your body a rest though, look at all the things you put it through your constantly going.
TP: Some people don't understand, they think "Oh you just ride motorcycles so what do you do for a living?" They just don't know I put in 10 hour days; I live in the desert and have to drive an hour each way to the test track. Then, my trainer lives in Murrieta and that is 30 minutes more south of where the test track is. I am waking up at seven in the morning and after I do everything I am getting home at seven at night! I do this three days a week. I get two days off Thursdays and Sundays. Those days are set aside for traveling.
TWMX: You are second in points right now. Anything is possible. You have got to be thinking about being consistent in the next few rounds. What is your strategy?
TP: I am exited about going to Texas I really like it there. They have big stadiums and the tracks are hard packed so it's like riding at home. I can't count on Bubba having bad luck. I am just going to ride the best I can and try to win those last three races. We will see what happens.
TWMX: Have you been watching Roncada? He is sticking his wheel in all over the place. I think he is getting into some guys heads. He has been making some good moves out there. Could you see yourself being in that position?
TP: If I am in back of Bubba, hell yeah I am going to show him my front wheel. I have been watching Roncada do that. Every corner where he can, he shows his wheel and every rider he has done that to he has passed. Sure you don't like it, and if he was doing that to me I would want to beat him up but that is what racing is about, mixing it up not playing follow the leader.

Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Threats to Varus with this build
|Stay behind creeps and hit your Piercing Arrow. Very simple. He can dodge your abilities like most but can't really kill you. Stay away from bushes when he's 6.
Hi, I'm Sneaky from Cloud 9! This is my guide that should include tips on how to build and play Varus ^_^. Varus is a strong laner and very good team fighter. His poke is insane when he's fed and his ult is massive crowd control when the enemy stacks up. He works well in most team comps but has problems with getting initiated on since he has no escapes.
Pros & Cons
+ High CC
+ Long-ranged poke
+ Lots of damage
+ Can kill tanks pretty quickly due to his Blighted Quiver
- No escape
- Attack speed steroid is limited to getting kills outside of lane
Summoner Spells
21/9/0 is the best mastery setup for Varus. He can't really make good use of Expose Weakness or Spell Weaving / Blade Weaving so I don't take those. Dangerous Game is amazing and Frenzy is necessary on champions that you build more than 10% crit on.
Attack damage marks give strong early game stats and are more efficient than other runes.
Armor seals are good because you'll be taking a lot of physical damage from minions and autoattacks early game.
Magic Resist glyphs are used to mitigate harass from their support.
Attack speed quints are really efficient compared to other runes and give you a strong mix of offensive stats when combined with attack damage marks.
|(Passive) Living Vengeance
(Q) Piercing Arrow
Cooldown: 16/14/12/10/8 seconds
The best way to use this in laning phase is to charge it up and hold it until nearly the last second so that the enemy will try their hardest to dodge before you even throw it. They will most likely put themselves in a position where they can't even dodge it anymore and you get a free hit out of it.
The main targets you want to hit with this are squishy backline people. Hitting two in a row is going to chunk them really hard to a point where they can barely fight anymore. Three could probably kill them or make them have to back. Make sure to keep going for the same guy since spreading out the poke damage is not very useful.
Always try to fully charge this unless its late game with full build. I never shoot it instantly unless it's going to kill them from the smaller amount of damage that it does.
At about level 9+ a nice trick is to stand at max range of this ability and then shoot at the enemy farming creeps. They won't be able to react to it and dodge since it doesn't show on their screen.
(W) Blighted Quiver
(E) Hail of Arrows
Cooldown: 18/16/14/12/10 seconds
(R) Chain of Corruption
Cooldown: 100/90/80 seconds
Skilling Order
Taking 1 point in each skill by level 3 is the best on Varus because you can chain up his abilities. You need to land your Q or E to proc your W stacks. You can however take 2 points into Q at level 3 which will give you a really strong harass.
Starting Items
Doran's Blade is basically the only starting item option available. It gives you great early game stats and sustain to help you trade and farm easier. The Warding Totem is a key to your early game as well. You should put this down at 1:30 either in the Tri brush if you're on blue side or over the wall into the river brush if you're purple side.
Early Game
First buy:
If 1550g+: B. F. Sword, 2 Health Potion, 1 Mana Potion
If 1240g+: Pickaxe, Doran's Blade, 2 Health Potion, 1 Mana Potion
If 875g+: Pickaxe, 2 Health Potion, 1 Mana Potion
If 440g+: Doran's Blade, 2 Health Potion, 1 Mana Potion
Mid Game
Infinity Edge is the first choice of item with the changes to The Bloodthirster. You get the most AD out of this item and it help you scale very well. Always buy B. F. Sword on your first back if you can as it will be the most AD you can get on your first recall. If you can't afford it you can always get the Pickaxe first.
IE alone is not a very strong item but once you have your core item, Statikk Shiv, is when you are really strong. The attack speed and crit from Shiv makes the best out of your IE and takes advantage of the bonus crit damage.
Late Game
The 3rd item can be either The Bloodthirster or Last Whisper. In most scenarios Last Whisper should be the 3rd item as your the enemy should should be building armor by now. If they are not building armor, The The Bloodthirster is a really good item on Varus. The reason that it's better than Blade of the Ruined King is that Varus has really high AD values on his abilities and he can benefit more from just having more AD.
Situational Items
Unless you're getting crushed by magic damage in which case if the damage you're taking is cleanse-able then build Mercurial Scimitar. If it's not then buy Banshee's Veil.
How to play Varus
(Early Game)
You basically want to last hit and hit people with Piercing Arrow as much as possible. Force them into a bad spot and get the free Piercing Arrow off.
Once you hit 6 you can probably just use Chain of Corruption onto them and kill them if it lands. The only counter play they can have is cleansing and getting out. Try to make sure that when you're aiming your Piercing Arrow in the first few levels that you hit creeps as well as the enemy champion so that in the case that they dodge it you still push the lane.
A trick I used for a while was getting a ward up on the enemy buffs and then sitting in the dragon/baron pits to snipe out their buff as they're doing it. All junglers never smited unless they didn't receive a leash from their teammates, resulting in a easy buff steal level one! It's a lot harder to do now though since they all Smite the buff now. The only way it'll work is if they miscalculate it or if they smite early. Start charging the arrow at around 750 life on the buff and then shoot about 50 above smiting range. If they mess up you'll get it. If they don't oh well, you tried!
(Mid Game)
Push waves with Piercing Arrow and target squishies with it. Keep hitting the same target and they'll have to back for free objective control or a free team fight win.
You should have Infinity Edge and Statikk Shiv at this point while building up to The Bloodthirster or Last Whisper.
Be careful around the enemy carries and jungler since you don't have an escape. Make sure to go to lanes where you can either farm easily and not die or beat the opponent 1v1. Push on them hard with Piercing Arrow and take their turret.
(Late Game)
You'll have your full build by this time or really close to it. Once you have reached 3+ items you'll do insane damage to everybody. Poke down squishies!!!!!!! Stick with your team and group for objectives. You aren't good at split pushing so make sure you're almost never alone.
Well I think that's it. Thanks for checking out my guide!! Leave anything you think I should expand on in the comments or adjustments if you want. I'll look at all of them and fix it up!
