St. Mary Academy- Bay View Graduates 87 Young Women
East Providence, R.I.- St. Mary Academy – Bay View, a leader in all-girl education since 1874, proudly graduated 87 members of the Class of 2020 on Sunday, June 7 in a ceremony as unprecedented as the end of the school year itself. The ceremony took place on campus with families arriving- and staying in their cars throughout the ceremony. Despite the unusual conditions, Bay View graduates were undaunted in their enthusiasm and shared pride about all they accomplished. "Our graduates demonstrated unusual maturity and resilience while planning alternative graduation traditions. I am so thankful to have the opportunity to celebrate them at this ceremony" noted Colleen Gribbin, Principal of the Upper School.
In keeping with tradition, the graduation began with an invocation from Cecilia Bianchi (North Kingstown), President of Peer Ministry. Valedictory addresses were offered by Nicole Baalbaki (Pawtucket) and Ishita Rai (Warwick). Nicole has been an active member of the community as a member of the Environmental Club, Mercy Action, Peer Ministry, Math Team, Model UN and Student Council. Her awards include Science. Spanish and English National Honor Society, Wellesley College Book Award, Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony Award, Excellence in Mathematics and the Natural Sciences, Mu Alpha Theta. She will be attending the University of Michigan this fall. Her address included words of gratitude including, "Bay View has given us the tools needed to be strong, independent women, but we are different from most people because of our Mercy background. We are able to recognize injustice, to be compassionate, and to live our faith."
Ishita has also been an involved member of her class. She served on the Student Council every year of high school, founded the Vision Club, and was a member of the Math Team and Ambassador's Club. Ishita was published as First Author in the medical journal Surgical Infections. Her awards are highlighted by being one of 161 students across the country to be named a US Presidential Scholar in addition to being a National Merit Finalist, the Harvard Book Award, Best in Fair RI Science and Engineering Fair, National Honor Society (President), Mu Alpha Theta member, Rho Kappa member. Ishita will be pursuing her studies at Boston University in the fall. Ishita's remarks reminded her class of their potential, "Each and every one of us has the potential to achieve greatness. Bay View's Class of 2020 will not be remembered for our grades, or popularity. Rather, we will be remembered for our unequaled spirit, our resilience and positive outlook during these unpredictable times, and, most importantly, for how we make people feel."
Bay View President, Sister Marybeth Beretta offered her remarks and reflections, "What inspires me about our Mercy community is that we meet our most demanding moments with courage, resolve, and a selfless concern for others. I'm so proud of the countless ways that our graduating class has responded to the Covid-19 crisis by rising to every challenge and accepting every disappointment with resilience and grace. Their many talents, undaunted spirit, and sense of responsibility give me great confidence for the future of a world that needs the conviction and compassion of students grounded in Mercy values."
Every graduate has been accepted and plans to attend college this fall. Their accomplishments are reflective of the academy's attention to the development of their character, academics, arts, and athletics as part of its programming. The fullness of their achievement will bring them to prestigious institutions of higher education. This year's class earned a total $14,223,004 in merit scholarships for colleges and universities (for four years).
Ishita Rai was awarded the most prestigious honor given by Bay View to a graduating senior: the Catherine McAuley Woman of the Year Award, a title named after the foundress of the Sisters of Mercy. The award description is as follows:
The recipient is a woman of singular character and impeccable integrity who leaves an indelible imprint on the fabric of the Bay View community. She reflects the unselfish values of Catherine by improving the quality of life of those with whom she comes in contact; by her welcoming attitude towards others and her understanding of her responsibility to service. She also possesses a firm commitment to her academic pursuits, as well as a deep, intellectual curiosity. She is a well-balanced, firmly-grounded young woman with a strong moral fiber combined with a passion for the continued pursuit of knowledge and wisdom.
Ms. Rai, in addition to her academic accomplishments, embodies all the Mercy qualities. She is a young woman of integrity, warmth, and empathy who demonstrates these attributes in all she does. Her commitment to social justice includes a wide lens as demonstrated by her countless hours tutoring others in school and working for world vision care in partnership with Harvard University. She is humble, continuously challenges herself, and is well respected by her peers and faculty. The Bay View community is proud to name Ms. Rai as the Catherine McAuley recipient for 2020.

- Revs. Dominski & Hughes
Dear Sisters and Brothers,
The Psalter has often been called the prayer book of the Church. Across its 150 Psalms, every longing and emotion of the human heart and condition is expressed to God. On this Fifth Sunday of Easter we reflect on Psalm 31. It is a psalm that cries out to God for help and deliverance, while also holding on to God's faithfulness - a fitting psalm and prayer for these days.

With love and blessings, Lolly and Bunny

The Cleveland Browns nearly made the playoffs for the first time in 12 seasons, but struggled during the last few weeks of the season and found themselves on the outside looking in again. However, Cleveland looks poised to break through this year if they can get production from these three position battles:
3) Cornerback
Joe Haden is locked into a starting role, but there is a big question mark as to who will start opposite him. Last year's first-round pick Justin Gilbert struggled mightily last year, yet he still has all the talent in the world. He'll be battling with veteran Tramon Williams, who has a steady, proven track record at the NFL level - but doesn't have Gilbert's upside.
2) Running back
Isaiah Crowell and Terrance West were highly productive splitting carries last season, and now rookie Duke Johnson is in the mix as well. All three will definitely get a lot of carries during the season, but head coach Mike Pettine is looking for someone to step up this preseason and prove they deserve to be the teams' go-to guy.
1) Quarterback
Newcomer Josh McCown, despite an extremely disastrous season as Tampa Bay's starter last year, has the inside track at winning the job because of Johnny Manziel's poor play last year and offseason of rehab, but Pettine hasn't named a starter. This will play out through the preseason much like last year's competition did.

The butchered animal was placed on the car roof while its hind legs were supported by a wooden board at the back, secured by a red string that crossed under the pig's thighs.
The pick-up truck driver told Pear , a Chinese video-sharing platform, that the pig was an engagement gift to his future daughter-in-law.
He had tied the body of the animal up as he drove from Fuyang to Shucheng.
He said: "It was on November 14 and we were on the way to the future in-law's house in Shucheng.
"It's for my son's wedding and they asked for a pig as gifts.
"It's slaughtered and cleaned and I planned to put it at the back of the truck but the in-laws wanted us to display it on top of the car so it would look nicer'."
The video has been widely shared on Weibo, China's equivalent to Twitter .
Beijing Police Department have since shared the video and warned the driver he violated the road safety regulations by exceeding the height limit.

By MADDY VITALE
Just weeks ago, Ocean City's Boardwalk and beach at times had the appearance of the Hitchcock movie, "The Birds," with seagulls making a home atop eateries and umbrellas awaiting an opportune time to snatch food from unsuspecting visitors and residents.
Not anymore, thanks to a group of raptors brought in by East Coast Falcons as part of Mayor Jay Gillian's plan to get rid of the pesky gulls. The raptors chase the gulls away by scaring, not killing, them.
On Sunday afternoon, Boardwalk strollers and beachgoers seemed to be the only ones flocking to the boards and the sands.
And to the delight of many of the tourists and residents, they could eat whatever treats they wanted without fear of the swooping gulls.
Terry Silber, of Philadelphia, her son, Freddy Silber, and his fiancé, Blair Rogers, sat on a bench and enjoyed eating pizza without being harassed by the gulls.
"I think it is wonderful," Terry Silber said. "It is unbelievable. It is definitely working."
"It's great we can enjoy pizza without the birds trying to take it away," her son added.
Others had the same sentiment as they munched on French fries, ice cream and candy.
"The last time I was here it was a nightmare," said Kevin Gibson, of Hillsborough, N.J., who is vacationing with family in Ocean City for the week.
He sat on a bench and nibbled on a heaping portion of French fries.
"I am having no problems eating my fries now," Gibson said with a laugh. "There aren't even barely any seagulls around."
Joe Colon, of South Philadelphia, ducked under an awning of a pizzeria to enjoy a slice.
But he wasn't hiding his food from seagulls. He wanted to get out of the sun for a bit before he headed back to the beach to be with his family members, whom he said, were eating with no problems, minus the seagulls.
The Colons come to Ocean City nearly every weekend in the summer, he said.
Sunday was a lot different than earlier this summer, he noted.
"There's only a few seagulls. You expect some. The last time we were here there were a lot," Colon said.
Whether it was a restaurant, beach umbrella, or picnic-style lunch on the beach, it seemed seagulls weren't around.
Some vacationers wondered if the gulls decided to get out of town.
Janice Campbell, of Medford Lakes, and her family were well aware of the falcon program in Ocean City.
She owns a vacation home in Ocean City and the family visits the resort often throughout the summer.
"It is absolutely working," Campbell said as she ate her salad on the beach. "My kids said at night there are no seagulls. That would be cool to see. We just saw kids with containers of food opened on their towels and there were no seagulls around."
Just a couple days before, on Friday, people on the Boardwalk saw the raptor program in action with a takeoff.
P.J. Simonis, a falconer with East Coast Falcons, walked one of the "watch birds" down the Boardwalk. "OC," a recently trained Harris hawk, was sent out to patrol the skies.
Crowds watched in amazement. One woman asked how the hawk comes back to Simonis.
"The birds trust us because we give them reason to," Simonis said. "It is all about trust."
The raptors patrol Ocean City's skies each day from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. The falcons and hawks work the day shift, while an owl takes over at night.
The raptors are sent out to the "hot spot" areas of the Boardwalk where there are eateries.
When it is time for the birds to return from their "shift," the falconers use a whistle. They can watch the bird's changing location on a GPS tracker.
The gull abatement program is said to be the first of its kind for a town at the Jersey Shore.
East Coast Falcons is being paid $2,100 per day under a contract that is expected to run through Labor Day, the traditional end of the bustling summer tourism season.
At a recent City Council meeting, City Business Administrator George Savastano said, "As of today, reports about the effectiveness of the program are encouraging."
The program is expected to return next summer if it proves successful this year. East Coast Falcons will be paid a total of $65,100 for its services this summer through Labor Day.
Janice Campbell said it might not be necessary.
"It is really kind of crazy," she said of the program's effectiveness. "We'll see what happens next year. Hopefully the seagulls will have gotten the signal and they will go somewhere else next year."

In the last few months, we have received several requests for creating a tool which will help the community organize Raid routes for Marvel Strike Force. We immediately decided to answer to your requests but it took a while to implement all important information for each Node in every Raid and to create an application which will be useful and easy to use.
MSF Raid Maps contains everything you need to know about enemies and rewards in Raids. By simply clicking on each node, you will receive the appropriate info which should help you decide where to assign players from your alliance according to their rosters and strength. Assigning players to desired routes is also very simple. You just need to select the player you want and by clicking on existing nodes you will create a route for that player. It is important to mention that a maximum of 4 players can be assigned to the same route but that should be enough for creating a successful strategy. When you assign all players to their routes, you will be able to save the image of Raid strategy for your further use or to share your decision with the rest of the community.
This application should be very helpful, especially for new members of your alliance when you have to suggest to them where to go and what to do.
If you want to try our new application please visit MSF Raid Maps page.
If there is anything else you would like to have in order to improve your Marvel Strike Force gaming experience you should contact us on our mail – [email protected] – or simply share your thoughts in the comments.

On January 19th People's Artist of Russia and Abkhazia, soloist of Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Moscow Music Theatre Hibla Gerzmava celebrated her jubilee on the stage of the Kremlin Palace. The concert was conceived as a grand theatrical show: stunning, colorful scenery, bright performances, great music – all this carried the audience into the magical world of classical music.
The opera diva was congratulated by her colleagues and close friends: Anna Netrebko, Yusif Aivazov, Dmitry Ulyanov, Igor Golovatenko, Denis Matsuev, outstanding violinist and conductor Vladimir Spivakov, Chulpan Khamatova, trumpeter Sergey Nakaryakov and many others. The audience heard many famous arias and duets from operas. Dmitry Ulyanov performed an aria of Leporello from Act 1 of the opera "Don Giovanni", and also sang a duet of Adina and Dulcamara from the opera "L'elisir d'amore" with Hibla.
A surprise of this evening was that Hibla Gerzmava sang a song "Tenderness" accompanied the author of music Alexandra Pakhmutova.
Dmitry Ulyanov and the website administration once again congratulate the magnificent Hibla Gerzmava on her birthday and wish her health, inexhaustible energy, interesting performances, joy and happiness!

When I was a kid and I did something bad, really bad, my dad used to drag me out of the house and up the hill to a phone box. It was one of those cozy red things you'd see all over England. Now, they usually contain a lending library or defibrillator. He'd make me march the last ten feet or so, on my own. I remember the last time, when the rains lashed down, with thunder and lightning filling the skies.
I'd stand there, a knot growing in my stomach, wishing I'd been good. I'd jump when the phone rang.
"Hello?" My voice would break, and my hands shook, as I put the black bakelite phone to my ear.
"You know who this is, don't you…"
"Yes," I'd reply, "Mr Bookbinder."
"Exactly… What did you do?"
I would then proceed to tell the voice on the other end of the line what I'd done. When I was finished, I waited for the person to respond. If it was a small infraction, he'd answer straight away. When it was horrid, he'd stay silent for ages.
"Mr Bookbinder? Please tell me everything will be okay."
All I could hear was his breathing. Slow and purposeful, just like my dad, getting louder and louder as his anger would grow.
"I'm sorry!" I'd blurt out and cry, though he didn't relent. This was what he wanted.
This particular day, I turned and saw my father wait patiently in the rain, water droplets scattering quickly down the glass.
"Please forgive me," I pleaded, saying this to my father as well as to Mr Bookbinder.
"I don't think you are ready for forgiveness. You have been a naughty boy, haven't you?"
I nodded, looking at my father.
"Good," he said, "you don't want him to go to prison for what you've done, do you?"
"No, please no!"
The line returned to heavy breathing. This time it calmed and quietened.
"I forgive you," Mr Bookbinder said.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you," I replied, slamming the phone down and opening the booth.
"He forgave me, father," I said, my racing heart beginning to slow.
He smiled and said, "Let's go home."
I grinned back at him.
With that, the sky lit up and a single bolt of lightning entered my father through his head. Before I knew what happened, he was on the floor motionless.
I stared in horror while what looked like steam or smoke rose up from my his body. It was the 80s, and I didn't have a mobile phone. I turned around and ran back to the red phone box. I picked up the handset. There was no dial tone. I frantically pressed the hangup button, but it was of no use. I ran back to the house and told my mother what happened.
When the ambulance arrived, they placed my father onto a gurney and rushed him off to hospital. He survived, but wasn't the same. They said he was lucky. Though when he came home in a wheelchair, I thought he was anything but. They said he had a cardiac arrest. He was without oxygen for fifteen minutes. They said if I hadn't ran back so quickly and got help he would have died.
Somedays, I wish he had. My mother would feed him through a straw. He wasn't my dad anymore, he was a husk of the man who had raised me. Though he did smile more than before. He always seemed happy. He'd giggle and put out his hands for a hug. I always embraced him. I never remember him doing that before. That's why it was so strange.
His arms would pull me in tight, full of love I'd never known.
He'd whisper under his breath, "Mr Bookbinder, Mr Bookbinder, Mr Bookbinder."
It was all he ever said to me.
My dad's parents, my grandparents lived with us, in the small cottage at the end of the garden. After the incident, they rarely visited. My mother said my grandad couldn't bear to see him like that. When he tried to visit me, he'd kneel and hold out his hands. He was the spitting image of my father, but I turned away. If he couldn't speak to his own son, then he wasn't going to speak to me.
My grandmother died soon after, leaving grandad in the cottage all alone. I felt guilty. I'd always preferred him to my father. He taught me how I could turn wood into a piece of art.
I began to read to my father as my own reading improved. I started with my comics, though I could see he wasn't that interested. Mum gave me his favourite book, Moby Dick. His face would light up in the way a child's would. I didn't understand most of it, but I could read the words.
After I finished, my mother bought me a puppy. It was a gorgeous little thing, a Jack Russell. I called him Buddy. I'd play in the yard, throwing the ball back and forth. As the summer came, we'd be out there for hours. I'd see my grandfather stare out of the cottage, though all I now felt was anger towards him.
When Christmas came around, I refused to eat dinner with him. My mother grounded me to my room and kept Buddy downstairs with them. I was distraught. I didn't let them see me cry though, I did that in my room alone. I was of that age. I knew I couldn't let them see me like that.
I woke a few hours later, it was dark now. I heard my mother scream from downstairs. I afforded myself a smile. If I was suffering, so should she. I heard Buddy bark. I sat up. The barking continued. I wished for him to stop, but he didn't. I peered out of my window and saw him in the back garden, running around in circles. I quietly opened the window and whispered down.
"Buddy, what's wrong?" I said, he stopped and sat, looking up at me, with his head cocked to one side.
I don't know what I was thinking. I climbed out of the window, and scaled the drainpipe. It moaned at the strain. I jumped the final feet and landed on the icy pavement. My breath billowed out in large clouds of steam. I crept towards my dog. His tongue lolled out and he wagged his tail.
"Hey buddy," I said with outstretched arms.
He broke our gaze as red and blue lights flashed, passing by, the sirens blaring. Rain had begun to fall, thunder and lightning filling the skies.
"No!" I shouted as Buddy ran past Grandad's cottage and into the woods.
I desperately chased after him and into the gloomy forest.
"Buddy," I shouted. My voice reverberated around the darkness.
I got onto my hands and knees, climbing through the mulch and up the incline. My fingers went numb almost instantly. I continued to cry out in vain, searching in the dark.
In the distance I heard something, I couldn't work out what it was. As I made myself climb to the top of the hill, I ran in the direction of the sound. When I pushed my way through the dense branches, I was on the side of the road and I knew what the sound was, it was a phone ringing. I looked to my right and saw the red phone box. I panicked and stopped.
I knew what it was, it was Mr Bookbinder. He was phoning me to tell me I shouldn't have snuck out of my bedroom. I wanted to run and find my dog. But I was conditioned. I hung my head, walking towards the phone box, my heart racing in my chest. I prepared the talk in my head. I was trying to find Buddy, it wasn't my fault.
The closer I got, the louder it rang. I began saying out loud I was sorry.
"I'm sorry, Mr Bookbinder, it was a mistake."
"I'm sorry, it wasn't my fault."
Each time, I'd hear him in my head telling me did I want my dad to go to prison.
"He can't go, he's disabled," I shouted.
"Please don't hurt him!"
I was standing outside the phone box, though I didn't want to look up. My breathing quickened, as I did my best to muster the courage to open the door.
I heard Buddy bark, and excitement flooded my body and I looked up. A lightning strike banged, sending static through the air. There he was, safe in the phone booth. The ringing continued. I grasped the door, slipping inside.
"You're such a good boy, Buddy," I said, picking him up.
He was so cold and wet. With the other hand I answered the phone.
"Now, listen to me Mr Bookbinder," I started, before being cut off.
"I've been bad…" the voice on the other end said.
I went silent, breathing heavily into the phone, catching my breath.
"I'm sorry," he continued, "do you forgive me?"
Shocked, I said nothing.
"Please, forgive me."
I continued breathing, not knowing what to say.
"You're right, I don't deserve forgiveness."
"Grandad?" I said, recognising his voice.
The line went dead.
I rushed back to the house, holding buddy under my arm, not wanting him to run off again. An ambulance was parked outside, but it wasn't going anywhere.
My mother was standing outside the house, crying onto the shoulder of a police officer.
Two black bags on gurneys were being gently lifted into the vehicle. After a few minutes the ambulance left without a rush.
My mother didn't say anything to me as I arrived. She didn't berate me for leaving my room, she just hugged me.
I asked her what happened. She didn't tell me, she never did.
I visited my mum in the home today. I'd been told she had cancer. She said she was fine. She told me that at least the dementia wasn't going to take her. After all these years, she hadn't told me what happened that night. I asked again. She sighed.
"Your Grandad didn't want to see your father like that anymore. He smothered him."
I stood up.
"He killed dad?"
She nodded, slowly.
"What happened to Grandad?"
"He slit his throat. The paramedics said he was dead before they arrived."
I brought my hand to my mouth and slumped back down into the chair.
"You know he phoned me that day."
She shook her head.
"I saw Buddy out in the yard."
I remembered the dog just like it was yesterday. I'd had many more since then, but he was the first, and in my heart, the best.
"I ran after him, through the trees and out to that phone box up the hill. You know the one where dad took me when I was bad."
She shook her head again.
"No, no. They disconnected that after your father…" she trailed off.
She sighed, "they said it acted like a lightning rod."
"Your grandad was dead before that. I saw you in the yard. I wanted to call after you, but I was tending to your father."
Shocked, I sunk further into my chair.
"Was Grandad Mr Bookbinder?"
She cocked her head to the side and asked, "Who's Mr Bookbinder?"

Nowadays organisations and companies compete in sending out the coolest and most upbeat digital season greetings.
Here comes two examples of how we in Finland deal with the digital greetings:
Finnish ad agency Hasan Partners sent me these two season screamers.
The cause they support is good and at least you don't fall asleep.
But, if you want more sober stuff I can recommend the digital season greeting from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. It captures perfectly the Christmas Spirit of Finland. Check it out here.
There you have it, two v-e-e-e-e-e-e-ry different ways of saying Happy Christmas in Finnish.

The SmarK DVD Rant for TV on DVD – Curb Your Enthusiasm, Family Guy, Life After People
I get a lot of DVDs sent to me for review. Like more than can I probably deal with in any kind of reasonable timeframe. It makes me feel bad because I've had a very hectic couple of months and haven't had a chance to give them any kind of fair review. Basically we've been in the process of buying our first house and pretty much everything that could have possibly gone wrong did so. But it's all good and now we're all moved in and I've got a new Blu Ray player and plasma TV in my man cave. But I've still got a pile of DVDs that have gone unreviewed, so here's quick reviews of as many as I can squeeze into 1000 words or so. No connecting thread this time, I just want to try to work through my writer's block and get back on the horse again.
Curb Your Enthusiasm – The Complete Seventh Season
"Everyone knows that there's only two ways to injure your neck, and she wasn't in a car accident!"
I've been told that the sixth season of Curb was kind of weak (I never had the opportunity to watch it here in Canada), but this one had the secret weapon that no other sitcom could lay claim to: A Seinfeld reunion. And although it really only directly figures into three of the episodes of the 10-episode season, the build to the reunion in the finale dominates the entire show. Picking up with Larry divorced from long-suffering wife Cheryl and living with a family of hurricane survivors, the seventh season is really about Larry's quest to reconcile with his former wife. But of course it wouldn't be Larry David unless he got overly obsessed with the minutia of human interaction and screwed everything up. More than that, however, this season is really, really funny. This is a show that takes full advantage of HBO's uncensored forum (especially Larry's new roommate Leon, played by JB Smoove). Everyone already knows that George Costanza is loosely based on Larry David, and truly this is like George allowed to run amok with millions of dollars in his bank account and no regard for the niceties of social etiquette. Basically the formula is to have Larry say or do something incredibly selfish and thoughtless, and then spend the rest of the episode lying about it. The exception actually proves to be the season finale, but even then he can't resist the temptation to gloat about it instead of listening to the little voice in his head that would normally tell him to shut up. If you're a fan of Seinfeld who is looking for the spiritual sequel to that show (without the language restrictions!), this is actually a great place to jump onto Curb. Plus you get the reunion in the season finale, and Larry playing George! Strongly recommended.
Family Guy – Volume Eight
I'm really getting sick of the "volume" approach to releasing this show on DVD, as they're really overpriced for 15 episodes and you're getting half of one season and then half of another. I still love the show, but the writing has gotten incredibly lazy and really American Dad kills it week after week. There's definitely some signs of life on display here, like the surprisingly strong anthology episode "Three Kings." But the departure of Cleveland Brown for his own mediocre show is sorely felt by the halfway point of this volume, and recently the writers have even been complaining through the meta-jokes on the show about how much he's needed again. Having said that (Curb reference!), cutaway gags like "Shoving Buddies" and Fred Flintstone on World's Wildest Police Chases are truly inspired stuff. But can you remember which episodes they came from? In fact, I had trouble remembering much of anything from this volume (season?), particularly stuff like "Jerome is the New Black" and "Dog Gone," which I barely remember seeing on TV in the first place. Commentaries are also getting sparse here, too, with only about half of the episodes represented and the rest just presented as is. One thing that was appreciated, however, was the "singalong" versions of pretty much every song from the show's history, because I honestly never tire of "Shipoopi." The rest is definitely starting to fall into "Fans only" territory. Mildly recommended for collectors only.
Life After People – Season Two
This was a show on the History Channel that looked interesting enough to request for review, and it ended up being a mixed bag for me. The concept is neat (human beings disappear and we get CGI recreations of what would happen to the world) and the science seems sound. Basically it's disaster porn for nerds. Each episode is themed according to what's getting wiped out (religious artifacts, holiday traditions, chemical stores, etc), and it's a very interesting idea. Unfortunately the producers try to "TV" it up too much, inserting over-the-top dramatic music cues and having the narrator veer into "Isn't this horrible?" melodrama. Like during the "religion" episode, the narrator dramatically tells us about how the snakes will RULE THE WORLD. I guess it's a hazard of stretching a two-hour concept into an entire season. Still, I found the show really interesting despite itself and would probably watch it on TV, although three discs of it at one time is a bit much to take. One thing that does bug here is that the DVD version is 4×3 full screen, and then letterboxed to widescreen. C'mon, it's 2010! It looks good for what it is, but it really should have been actual anamorphic widescreen. It doesn't really detract from the show any more than watching it on regular SD television would, but I was disappointed to not get true widescreen on DVD. Plus there's no extras. Still, for pretty reasonable price, it's a very interesting concept and utterly different from anything else out there on TV right now, and it's worth a look. Recommended.
The winner this time: Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Phil Marshall was 22 years old and an only child who lived with his parents in a huge 10 bedroom house in the village of Shallowfield on the edge of the Dancingdean Forest, and he had led a very privileged life and he was spoilt and conceited and had grown accustomed to always getting what he wanted.
So when the Purcell's came to stay for the family Christmas gathering in the 1990's and he set his cap for their eldest daughter Denise he fully expected to get his wish and sleep her.
She was a year younger than him with flaming red shoulder length hair and a busty undulating form that made his heart race.
He planned on wasting no time in getting in his Cousin Denise's bed but alas on the first night beneath the Marshall's roof he fell asleep while he waited for the house to fall silent.
So on the second night he made sure he didn't succumb to sleep before Denise succumbed to his lust.
It was just after 1 am when he tiptoed across the landing in a Santa Suit, full of expectation but as he slowly opened the door he was greeted by the discouraging sight of Denise cuddled beneath the duvet with the family housekeeper Josie McCalonan.
As he stood watching, Denise suddenly opened her eyes and realised he was there and said
"There's no one in here for you Santa we've had out presents" and she smiled contentedly.
Phil closed the door and turned around to find Denise's older sister Rachel standing by her open bedroom door and as Rachel had carried a torch for Phil for several years she said.
"If she's not interested I wouldn't say no to a present"
Rachel was not as pretty or busty or as sexy as her sister but she was obviously straight, she was willing and she was standing across the landing so Phil decided that she may have been second best but he knew that she would still give him a Christmas to remember.

The Stornoway Trust has responded to critics of its windfarm plans with Lewis Windpower (LWP) by saying that its schemes are key to building the Interconnector to the mainland, without which it is likely that no further sustainable power-generation schemes can proceed.
In a statement this week the community landowner said that: "With the 2019 Contract of Difference auction date fast approaching, Scottish & Southern Energy Network's (SSEN) long awaited submission of the subsea 600MW cable Needs Case to the Energy Regulator (Ofgem) has been warmly welcomed by the Stornoway Trust.
"Not only because it offers renewed hope that investment in the link will be approved, but that its stated case, backed up by well-informed independent advice, clearly recognises the importance of LWP and Forsa Energy's already consented schemes in helping to underpin the strength of their submission.
"Together with the also consented Eishken scheme, the Stornoway Trust projects should provide Ofgem with the comfort of knowing that the Developers involved have the capability of generating the required 400MW of wind energy in time to meet the now projected 2023 cable energisation target."
Trust Chairman, Norman A Maciver in welcoming the news, stated that he hoped: "SSEN's announcement will now help dispel many of the misguided criticisms levelled at both the Trust and the Comhairle for the resolute support of a process wholly focused on achieving the best possible outcome for our Island.'
The full statement goes on to say: "Buoyed by the prospect of a consented cable to look forward to, the Trust hopes that the Developers can now aim at achieving two major milestones in the interim: success at the May 2019 CFD Auction; and Section 19A approval via the Scottish Land Court required for the developments to progress alongside traditional crofting practices on the affected Common Grazings."
Trust Factor, Iain Maciver, in calling for people to unite behind the projects, believes that there is still an opportunity for the community to positively engage with the Developers to the mutual benefit of all concerned.
"I hope my faith in our ability to work together for the common good is not misplaced. Through positive collaboration, we can make our world-class resources work for us by ensuring our schemes can compete with the best.
"While we stand to gain a lot, the prospect of losing what could be our only chance to capitalise on our renewable energy generation potential at this stage would have, in my view, disastrous repercussions for our Island's fragile-looking economic prospects".
The full statement concludes that "With the Trust and the Comhairle actively working together to seek how best to secure a community ownership stake in potentially up to 100MW of generation, the prospect of additional profit from equity further adds to the attractiveness of what can be gained from what these schemes alone can unlock."

SEA Currents: Robert C. Seamans
April 11, 2014
Another Day in Nuku Hiva
Current Position
Taiohae Bay, Nuku Hiva
Course & Speed
Sail Plan
Harbor Furled
Sunny with some showers
Hello Family, Friends and followers of the S-252 blog,
Today was our fifth day anchored in Nuku Hiva; there were a couple of things that needed to be taken care of before going back out to sea so the crew decided to stay one more day in this beautiful place. It was a serene day aboard Seamans as students caught up on sleep and homework, and some of us started to learn arts of the sailor: expanding our knowledge of knots, making bracelets, and cutting and shaping sail canvas to make handcrafts.
As we prepare for our 2000 mile passage to Hawaii, today also served as an opportunity for reflection. Being an active member aboard Seamans has been the most mentally and physically challenging experience I've ever faced, but it is also the most rewarding and beautiful thing I've done. Being at sea and serving the ship's and shipmates' needs before attending your own makes me think about how great it would be to extrapolate this behavior to our lives on land: Earth being our only ship and our fellow humans our shipmates.
Some might say that we are out of our element, but somehow I feel there is no other place I would like to be. Despite my hands being covered in blisters and my muscles sore, every day I go to my bunk with a smile in my face, anxious about what adventures lie beyond the horizon, and grateful to all the people that have touched my life in one way or another and have given me the opportunity to be here.
Tomorrow we set sails again, adventure and knowledge awaits. In the meantime, I'm going back on deck to look at the stars and play music with my shipmates, my friends, my family.
Buen viento y buena mar.
Papa, Mama, Bibi, Caro, Cami, Lina y amigos: gracias por todo, los amo.
- Juan

You can find the final results for every match over the evening below, and you can watch the replay for free on B/R Live.
Fight for the Fallen isn't just another wrestling promotion's monthly event. Proceeds from the gate will be going to the Jacksonville's Victim Assistance Advisory Council (VAAC), which is helping those affected by the 2018 shooting in the city during a Madden Tournament.
On the card, there are eight matches on the card and one spot for Chris Jericho to show up and say whatever he wants. Undoubtedly, this will be a build up to his match against Hangman Page for the AEW Championship at All Out in August.

Next month, Moxley will face Kenny Omega.
While it's a slimmer card, there are a lot of great matches booked for the event. Most importantly, this show feels fresh even though the last PPV was weeks ago. The matchups are new, making Fight for the Fallen feel like it has a voice in the sea of wrestling PPVs. Check it out for yourself below.

The cockpit has a few main purposes, in order of decreasing criticality:
Most importantly, it secures and mounts the controls (steering wheel, shifter, pedals).
It can provide an (adjustable) seat that is attached to the control mount.
It can provide a mounting point for the display.
The least expensive cockpits are nothing more than portable stands that you bolt a steering wheel and pedals to. You sit on your own chair in front of the stand and you put the whole thing in front of a TV. Pedal stands are pretty common for console racers because they're very cheap, and work well in a living room setting. My office is kind of spacious and is sort of my man cave, so I wanted something that addressed all of the purposes a little better.
GTR Simulator provided me with their GTA-F cockpit. As you can see here, it arrives flat-packed, but that doesn't mean it's lacking in capabilities. The GTA-F has a lot of really nice features in addition to the minimum things I was looking for. There's also a gift from Logitech, which I'll explain shortly. As far as GTA-F features go, the cockpit has:
- a racing style seat that has a both an adjustable back as well as a slider to adjust the seat forward and rear.
- an adjustable mount for the steering wheel to provide a little fine tuning of the forward/back position of the wheel in relation to the seat and pedals.
- a mount to attach a shifter.
- an adjustable mount for the pedals that allows the pedal assembly to be raised or lowered at the far end to fine tune both the distance to the pedals as well as the height of the pedals in relation to the floor.
- an optional monitor stand that can support up to three monitors.
Ready? Assemble!
The seat, stacked and packed.
The seat comes disassembled and stacked, which is why it's able to fit in a nice flat-pack box. It was pretty well protected with bubble wrap and other packing materials. It only takes a few moments to bolt it together.
Pretty much everything on the GTA-F uses socket cap screws, and GTR Simulator is kind enough to provide an Allen key to use with them. There are a couple of philips head screws that attach trim pieces to the seat, but, for the most part, it's all socket caps.
For the seat, you simply bolt the seat back to the seat bottom with the provided socket cap screws. The seat bottom has the spring-loaded adjustment mechanism inside it. I wonder if I could swap this thing out for a Bride seat… Is that my wife yelling at me to stop spending?
When I first opened this box I was really confused. I couldn't believe that essentially everything else for the cockpit was underneath all that styrofoam packing material. But, much like a Volkswagen Beetle at the circus, all of the clowns came out of there. Well, all of the pieces came out of there. I was the only clown.

The first wave of bile has come and gone and now the slow minds of Middle England are starting to click and whirr and crank into their knuckle-dragging mob mentality.
Oh yeah, the apocalyptic garbage about Roy Keane is piling up so high you need more than wings to stay above it. You need a lift from Captain Kirk.
Okay, so the guy behaved like a bloody idiot at the Stadium of Light on Saturday when he elbowed Jason McAteer in the side of the face.
He deserved to be sent off, he deserves some of the criticism for an act of violence and he deserves the three-match ban that's heading his way fast.
And while we're at it, no, it doesn't seem right or fair that he should serve it while he's recovering from a hip operation.
What he didn't deserve was the cesspool of self-righteous, self-important, misguided, deluded, lazy, pack-driven, pompous, pretentious attempts at character assassination that have been aimed his way since.
Keane gets his first red card for nearly 12 months and suddenly all sorts of morons are climbing out of the woodwork saying he needs to be locked up in a rubber bedroom.
They say they are concerned for his state of mind, that he might be cracking up, that he needs help, that he's brought shame on his club and on football.
The guy takes his dog for a walk now and again and it's presented as a sure sign he's teetering on the verge of a nervous breakdown. If Eric Cantona was anointed an idiot because he used a metaphor about seagulls following trawlers, Keane's barking because he walks the dog and tells the truth in a book. How crazy can you get?
There are even a few individuals out there claiming to know how best he should conquer the demons they want to believe are still swirling around his mind because he's given up alcohol.
They're not quarrelling with the fact that he's stopped drinking. They're just saying he's done it the wrong way. Generally, these people have Tony Adams as their model.
Forget for a minute that some of these miserable sinners presuming to dish out this advice walk around the place as if they've had a frontal lobotomy.
"You, too, can be like me," they're saying, without realising that being like them isn't necessarily a goal for every recovering alcoholic. Without realising that not everyone can turn their lives around as successfully and admirably as Adams did. Without realising that not everyone is as mentally strong as Adams.
Funny these people should only target Keane as well. Strange that we didn't hear them them saying the same thing about Patrick Vieira, who got another sending off to add to his tally the next day.
Nobody questions his sanity, says he needs help, says he might be about to crack up, or that we should pack him off to the funny farm.
Strange, too, that Leeds forward Alan Smith should be described admiringly as "combative" after his England call-up this week whereas Keane is widely referred to as "brutal".
And then there was what Keane did to Phil Neville at the Stadium of Light. That seems to have provoked considerable alarm within the minds of sensitive flowers like Alan Hansen.
Let's forget for a second that Keane apologised to Neville in the United changing room after the game for giving him a shove on the pitch.
Instead, let's remember how we reacted when Aliou Cisse gave his Birmingham City team-mate, Robbie Savage, a good, hard push during their match with Leeds on Saturday.
That kind of passion, everyone agreed, would stand Birmingham in good stead this season. Not many sides would outmuscle them. Good on yer, Aliou.
Hansen, though, was having none of that as he told us in his new and rather costly column in the Daily Telegraph.
(Oh, and before we go on, it would be rude to omit the small detail that The Telegraph was slavering like a mad dog to sign Keane up for a megabucks column last season until he told them where to stick it.)
"Examining Keane's track record," Hansen wrote, "we could be facing a situation when at some stage this player is judged no longer fit to captain Manchester United."
Right, Alan. And who was your captain during your glory years at Anfield? Oh yeah, a Scottish chap called Graeme Souness, well known for being a shrinking violet.
You only needed to read Vinnie Jones in The Times the same day to know just where Keane stands in the pantheon of soccer's hard men alongside Souness.
"All this about Roy wanting to do people," Vinnie said. "He never did that. He ain't a Jimmy Case or a Graeme Souness. They would come and f****** sort you out."
So either Hansen remonstrated nobly with his own captain from day to day, telling him the kind of retribution he meted out on a weekly basis just jolly well wasn't acceptable, or he's near the front of the queue when it comes to doling out hypocrisy.
Amid the screaming of the madmen, in fact, only ITV's Andy Townsend had the guts to inject a small dose of perspective into proceedings.
He'd committed far worse fouls than Keane's elbow on McAteer, he said, pointing out that if Keane had meant to cause him any serious harm, McAteer would not have got up.
Still, it would be an awful shame to let a little thing like perspective get in the way of such a fine bear-baiting contest.
The bandwagon is picking up speed and the mob can smell Keane's blood. Some of them can even feel a lynching coming on.
All in all, Keane has probably taken the only sensible course of action available. With all those lunatics raging around outside, a hospital is the safest place for him.

Every aspect of the appointment was perfect however
I could not recommend a better bridal salon. Vera's is intimate while still offering a wide selection. She listened to what I wanted and I only tried on one gown! This is not to say this was the only bridal gown I tried, I had been to at least four other places and was beginning to get discouraged. Every aspect of the appointment was perfect however. I was feeling optimistic before she even started pulling gowns! Vera isn't pushy or trying to rush you into a decision. She is professional but also sincere and happy to be a part of making finding the dress that special moment that it should be. I was a last minute walk in that she was able to accommodate because of a cancellation and Vera even stayed open later to make sure I had enough time to try on dresses. It was a truly special experience.Sent on 08/10/2019

Written by Ed Duff
We have recently been approached by a concerned parent about one local authority's approach to EHC Needs Assessments.
The concern particularly relates to the apparent policy of the Local Authority to refuse to make a Social Care Needs Assessment as part of an Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment. This email has caused particular concern:
The concern is that the Local Authority seem to be refusing to undertake a crucial part of the Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment (EHCNA).
Regulation 6 Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014 sets out the advice that the Local Authority must secure as part of an EHC Needs Assessment. Part of that Regulation requires that advice and information in relation to social care is obtained during the EHC Needs Assessment.
Unfortunately, what is most commonly happening is that Social Services are writing to their colleagues in the Special Educational Needs Team to advise that the young person is not known to them. Increasing too we are aware of Social Care Teams simply not responding at all to requests for information sent out by the Special Educational Needs Services within Local Authorities. The Department for Education has also noted this difficulty and has recently reported that around half of all EHCPs do not contain any advice from Social Services.
It is worth noting that Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) replaced Statements of Special Educational Needs as part of the reforms brought about by the Children and Families Act 2014. These reforms were brought in, among other reasons, in order to ensure cooperation between the three agencies of Special Educational Needs Team, Health and Social Care. Therefore, the whole point of the EHCPs is that there is a tripartite service provision contained within one document to give a clear and understandable explanation of a young person's needs and the provision to which they would legally be entitled.
Of particular concern is the fact that Social Care Terms work within the same Local Authorities as the Special Educational Needs Team. There is always going to be some difficulties with getting advice from health professionals because they work within the NHS which is going to be an entirely different organisation. It is questionable what hope there is for the NHS and Local Authorities to work together when two departments within one Local Authority cannot even cooperate.
As can be seen from the above email the Local Authority are operating a policy that Social Care will only undertake an assessment there is a risk to the child. Further, the email goes on to say that if the parents think that the young person needs support from the Disabled Children's Team (which is Social Services) then that is separate to the EHC process. That is fundamentally wrong in law and completely fails to understand the entire concept behind the EHC reforms.
What is particularly frustrating is that Local Authorities consistently seem to miss the point that every young person with Special Educational Needs is also a child in need. The Local Authority owes a duty to provide services to every child in need within its area.
The Children Act 1989 provides that a child is in need if:
S/he is unlikely to achieve or maintain or have the opportunity of achieving or maintaining a reasonable standard of health or development without the provision of services;
His/her health or development is likely to be significantly impaired, or further impaired, without the provision of services;
S/he is disabled.
The definition of disabled is that contained within the Equality Act 2010. Without going into a detailed explanation, every child with Special Educational Needs would satisfy the meaning of "disabled" found within that legislation. As such, therefore clearly every child with Special Educational Needs is disabled and in turn is also a Child In Need.
That being the case, every Local Authority has a duty further to Section 17 Children Act 1989 to make services available to children and young people with special educational needs. That is in addition to the duties to identify their Special Educational Needs and cater for those educational needs specifically.
The framework for the assessment of children in need and their families clearly sets out that where a Local Authority has a duty to provide services, it can only work out what those services are by way of assessment of the young person.
What this all means is that, in our view, any blanket policy to refuse to undertake a Social Care Assessment unless there is a particular risk to a young person's welfare is unlawful. Quite clearly, with proper reading through the legislation, the EHC needs assessment should also include an assessment by social care Further, describing the assessment of support further to Social Care duties as being separate to the EHCP process is wrong in law.
If an EHC Needs Assessment is to be functional the Local Authority must be providing an assessment in relation to education, social care and health needs. There after, only upon establishing what those needs are, can the Local Authority decide what services it should be making available. Quite clearly, the duty to provide services arises further to Section 17 once a young person is identified as having Special Educational Needs. It is only possible to discharge that duty by way of assessing those needs and establishing what support and/or services the Local Authority need to provide further to the Social Care functions.
The further difficulty that parents will face in these situations is that the Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunal cannot, at the time of writing, look into the Social Care aspects of an EHCP. The Tribunal currently are only able to deal with the education aspects. That means that parents can only ever pursue legal action by way of judicial review in respect of the Social Care provision. That is also true for a situation where the Local Authority is simply refusing to discharge its clear legal obligations to assess.
If you experiencing difficulties in relation to Special Educational Needs and/or securing an assessment or services from Social Care then please do not hesitate to contact our specialist solicitors on 02920 291704.

RSBFS faithful know – and generally love – the NC30. Posing as a RC30 (especially with this livery), but in smaller size, less weight and a screaming 400cc V-four, the NC30 is the less expensive choice. But you don't give up fun for that; what you trade in outright HP you gain in smiles per RPM. And there are a lot of RPMs to play with. This particular bike appears to be well-loved and mostly stock – although the seller notes an updated exhaust system and a Hagon rear shock. While not offering the bling of an Ohlins or even high-end Showa unit, the Hagon replacement is a popular choice for riders of older machines; it is a budget conscious purchase that should work for the majority of excursions. If you are targeting this as a track-day only machine, you should probably budget for some upgrades in the suspension department.
1989 Honda NC30 for sale on eBay
From the seller:
This auction is for my Extremely Nice 1989 VFR400R NC30. If you are looking at this auction, you already know how remarkable these machines are. The 1989 model year is the first year for the NC30, and is the only year with this paint scheme, which matches it's big brother, the RC30; and is by far the most popular paint scheme! This bike Starts, Runs, and Rides absolutely superbly! The carburetor jetting is perfect, and it just runs remarkably!! This bike has no smoke or leaks at all, and needs absolutely nothing. It is ready to ride. I recently installed new spark plugs, and I just installed a brand new Bridgestone Battalax BT090 Rear Tire, which matches the front tire.
Based in Ohio, this VFR400R has its adoption papers at the ready. Forget the comparison to the big brother RC30 and judge this model on its own merits: you are looking at what is likely the class of the 400cc field. The GSX-R might be more rare, the FZR might be more economical to purchase, but short of a Bimota YB7 you are not likely to find a sweeter package that combines handling and performance. Throw in legendary Honda fit and finish and you have a bike worth holding on to for a long, long time. Check out all of the details here, and then leave us a message in the comments: what is your favorite 400cc sportbike? Good Luck!

Each concert charts a musical course from Captain Cook's homeland in old England, to the sounds of Aotearoa prior to his arrival on these shores. We examine this European genre, piano trio music, as it has developed within Aotearoa's unique culturally intertwined society, and compare with the result of development within a British environment.In UPRISING, we hear parlour music from Bridge, and a rediscovered trio by Elgar – mannered distractions from the building of empires and the noise of war and industrialisation in the England of their time. Later the music of Charlotte Bray illuminates contemporary England while also looking back to the enduring words of Shakespeare – and New Zealand composer, Samuel Holloway, turns our gaze inward to the human landscape and the mechanisms of hearing. In the second half, the prescience and experimentation of US composer, Charles Ives meets the subversive rebellion of Shostakovich – two profoundly contrasting sides of an iron curtain that takes on new meaning and significance today.For a limited time, when you book an Adult ticket to Tectonic Impact AND Tectonic Uprising, you can receive a 10% discount off each ticket. Just select 'Adult' when you book for IMPACT, then add your email under 'Additional Information' (contact details page) and a special 20% discount code will be sent out to you within 48 hours that you can use to book your ticket to UPRISING.

ITALIAN MERCURY GLASS DIORAMA JUMBO SIZE. SANTA IN HIS SLED LED BY A REINDEER FLYING THROUGH THE SKY. HOUSE IN THE BACKGROUND WITH EVERGREEN TREES, MOUNTAINS AND CLOUDS. SANTA IS ALL DRESSED UP IN HIS RED SUIT AND HAT with A BLANKET ON HIS LAP. SLED IS ALL PACKED UP WITH A TINY TREE AND TOYS. BROWN REINDEER LEADING THE WAY. FROSTY NIGHT SKY WITH STARS. GREEN BACKGROUND EXTREMELY RARE AND HARD TO FIND. SANTA IN HIS SLED IS FLYING OVER A WHITE FLUFFY CLOUD. Mercury Glass with Silver Ribbed design on the back. Both sides of the indent are in excellent vintage condition with no cracks or breakage. There is oxidation near the pike and of the hanger. The pike is in good condition and the hanger is present. The ornament is 4″ Wide x almost 5″ Tall. This diorama is DIFFERENT and RARE THIS DEPICTION OF SANTA ON HIS SLED IS VERY SELDOM FOUND with GREEN TINTED BACKGROUND. How dreary would be the world if there was no Santa Claus! There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. Church, New York Sun, Sep. WHAT A WONDERFUL ORNAMENT TO HAVE IN YOUR VINTAGE CHRISTMAS DIORAMA ORNAMENT COLLECTION. We have taken 12 photos of the ornament. This Italian Mercury Glass Diorama with Santa in his Sled and Reindeer is not new and has been used. It will show signs of usage, storage and aging. There will be scratches, discolorations and oxidation of the paint. The pike and hanger will also show signs of aging in the way of darkening/oxidation. This is expected in vintage Christmas Ornaments. There are no chips or cracks. The pike is in good condition and all the hanger is present. Most people who get the bug for collecting Vintage Christmas Ornaments start out with the easy tree ornaments and other Christmas collectibles often handed down from grandparents and parents. Others find a collection at a tag or yard sale and so it begins. You add one or several ornaments each year and slowly the collection begins. The joy is in fact actually being able to display your Vintage Christmas Ornament Collection each year and eventually passing them down to your own children and grandchildren. They also make cherished Christmas gifts that can last an entire lifetime when given by one family member to another. Glass Christmas Tree Ornaments from the 1930's, 1940's and 1950 are by far extremely popular these days with collectors. They can fetch prices as low as twenty dollars all the way up to several hundred dollars for some of the rarer pieces. Because these are true relics from the past, all have some signs of wear which may include light scratches, surface wear, spots of paint loss and areas of discoloration. This is part of the vintage charm! The item "RARE HTF ITALIAN DIORAMA MERCURY GLASS JUMBO Xmas ORNAMENT SANTA SLED DEER HOUSE" is in sale since Friday, December 23, 2016.
