Claire's store closures – accessories retailer considering closing a raft of UK stores as part of plan to save the chain
The troubled fashion accessories chain's parent company has emerged from bankruptcy but it has not ruled out store closures in the UK
CLAIRE'S ACCESSORIES is considering a series of British store closures as the fashion accessories chain as retailers continue to struggle on the high street.
The news has emerged after an announcement by the retailer's US parent company that it is no longer in financial trouble, having restructured almost $2billion (£1.5billion) of debt, after filing for bankruptcy earlier this year.
It was reported earlier today that the company is working on a number of restructuring options in the UK.
According to the Press Association this included taking out an Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA), although the firm denies it has any plans to do this.
The bankruptcy protection procedure in the US - known as Chapter 11 - aims to give companies time to restructure their finances.
Claire's has 333 stores, including outlets, and 17 concessions in the UK, the firm says.
A spokesperson for Claire's told The Sun: "There is no official plan to close stores, but we're looking at stores that are underperforming and whether we could open in other locations and transfer staff.
"This is part of our normal business practice."
As news of the potential CVA spread, Ron Marshall, Claire's CEO, denied plans for a CVA. He said: "We have no plans for either a CVA or major store closures in the UK in the foreseeable future.
"Recently emerging from the chapter 11 process in the US has enabled us to financially restructure, reducing our debt by $1.9billion and giving us access to $575million in capital, so we are now in a better position than ever to be able to invest in the business further, especially in our vitally important store portfolio as we continue to grow and expand the Claire's business.
"Any stores we do close or open in the UK would be as part of our normal course of business"
If Claire's decides to close stores, it'd join a growing number of recognisable high street names that have recently been forced to shut shop.
Only last week, fashion retailer Coast collapsed into administration with 300 jobs lost.

Patisserie Valerie has also found itself in the midst of a storm lately - its finance head has been arrested over "missing cash" and its chairman has stepped in with a £20million loan to save the bakery chain from collapse.
In August, Sports Direct owner Mike Ashley took over House of Fraser but he vows to save 80 per cent of the stores.

If you have ever lived in a small town and entertained houseguests, you've probably often wished that your town had a bed and breakfast. Though small towns with a tourism industry will often have historical inns or at least a motel or two, towns that aren't exactly Plymouth, MA or Williamsburg, VA often go without. That means no place for the in-laws to stay or guests for a family reunion or wedding. Opening a small inn or bed and breakfast can help fill a need in your area. If you're worried about being able to keep your rooms booked, go small. Bed and breakfast owners tend to live in the same homes they manage, often converting their larger homes into B&Bs. This is a great idea for those who have recently become empty nesters with too many rooms to fill. If you're later in life and looking for business ideas for small towns, this concept is a great one to explore.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - Most airline stocks built on their early gains Thursday, driven by a bump in UAL Corp.'s share price, and the sector's main indicator even managed to break that magical 50-point mark.
The Amex Airline Index ($XAL) ended up 3.3 percent to 50.27.
Shares of UAL UAL, +2.07%, parent of United Airlines, climbed over 13 percent to finish at $5.22. The rise seems to be driven by hopes that the company may soon get much-sought loan guarantees from Uncle Sam, although one industry analyst is skeptical about the prospect.
In a note to investors, Credit Suisse First Boston's Jim Higgins said that while there will be a meetings between the company and the Air Transportation Stabilization Board next week, "we strongly suspect that the paltry labor concessions UAL has so far come up with will be a major stumbling block in approval of the loan application."
Shares of Delta DAL, -0.88%, which is reportedly talking to both Northwest and Continental about possible code-sharing pacts, were off 1.1 percent at $14.59 Northwest NWAC gained 6 percent to $8.48 and Continental CAL, +0.93% got 3.4 percent to $9.10.
Northwest is also engaged in a fare battle with American Airlines, which has been putting the knife to business fares in a move welcomed by strapped corporate budgeters. Shares in American parent AMR AMR, +0.00% edged up 4 cents at $9.44.
Meanwhile, Southwest LUV, -0.90% added 7 percent to $13.20 and US Airways U, +0.23% got 2.1 percent to $2.40.
Alaska Air ALK, -0.74%, cited by California regulators for withholding information about possible toxins in their plane cabins, was up 5.7 percent at $23.85.

The Abbott Government's back-down on Medicare Rebates for Practice Nurses is good news for rural and regional Australia.
The Rural Doctors Association had expressed surprise at the decision and said it: "will place even more pressure on already overworked rural doctors to meet patient demand for services"
They went on to say: "The decision will impact on the most vulnerable in our community – the disabled, the young and the aged"
Practice nurses not only take the pressure off GPs, they make an integrated inter-disciplinary approach to primary health care possible.
It's hard enough to attract GPs to rural and regional areas. The Government's now over-turned decision would have made it even harder.

Travelling In Private Charter Plane Certainly Outstanding!
A great solution to travel during your future air trip is through private jets. Give much more convenience and comfort than regular commercial airline carriers. With the copious amounts of sizes and types to choose from, there is a private jet for almost every budget.
Thirty Graduate students ago or so, I no concern about flying and simply not gave it any thought one way or another until Taxation came along. What happened was that in 1981 the Air Traffic Controllers went on strike and also 11,000 Air Traffic Comptrollers were fired by Reagan and either replaced by less skilled employees doing other jobs or not replaced almost all. That's when I started getting paranoid about travelling by air. This made absolutely no sense to me and I'm surprised the response of the general public seemed non-existent. To me, it looked like having brain surgeons replaced by Family Practitioners.
The service you receive on someone jet fantastic. The ride is comfortable, in order to offered great menus and flicks to a person entertained. There is much more leg room on a private gulfstream G650 and much less of viewers. With a charter gulfstream G650 flight, simply show up at the airport, board your flight and you're off. 100 % possible even phone in your reservations when flying charter to create it even more simple.
The vast majority of people can't afford to have their own personal airplane. Within actual cost, plus normal maintenance and fuel, having a jet extremely expensive. However, a very economical option is renting a private jet for coming trip.
In the not too distant future, you are usually in command from the www.nytimes.com. You'll be navigating 50 tons of metal 30,000 feet in the air. You will trigger the lives of the people. When you've got any doubts about responsibility, you better get over those doubts while a thing that flight schools. Learn the meaning of this word to and fro. It starts however basics. A lecturer can only teach you so whole lot. How much you learn is the responsibility. Have got to stay in addition your flight program with each of your assignments. Responsibility in the flight school classroom for you to responsibility as the pilot inside skies.
The net result is horrendous. The marketplace for business jets collapsed and thousands found themselves on the street in a niche that had not been only profitable only a few months earlier, but was also a technology leader for many aspects associated with earning aircraft, including environmental pain. Scores of customers walked from their orders, abandoning their deposits even and also the reasons were clear: the scarcity of credit Along with the image problem of having a corporate aircraft.
(2). Welcome home the troops in the airport. Several universities, local organizations, and churches meet up and their very own own staff who regularly go and welcome back the troopers. Think this does not matter in order to some soldier returning from war, even the hho booster is just R&R? You might be wrong.
Most resort towns, of course, currently well recognized for "impersonal" fractional aircraft ownership plans time shares, shared ownership consist of 1/4 shares, rental pools, or other plans which involve sharing with those you are not aware of. That's a subject subsequent newsletter.
If professional the holiday mood and wish to enjoy your holiday their most luxurious manner then you may also communicate Evolution Jet for helicopters and boats. While the website doesn't have its unique helicopters and yachts likewise includes access to the machines all over the world. The largely spread network of your website makes this is feasible.
Private aircraft rental spot anyone do if they wish to do. It is actually the question of the want to speculate your money. You want to rest? Do need your employees to attend the satisfaction the annual meeting? Do you have a large family has to visit a family gathering in all the parts of the country? Any of these scenarios paint a picture of a gaggle that will benefit from this opportunity to set a timetable of their own, and hire a plane to gather them. Measured against the costs of commercial flight bonus to get you to your destination quickly and directly. You will recognize that renting a private jet will not be achieved.

Every kid needs a hobby, for 5-year-old Zhang Wang that hobby happens to be tightrope walking.
Zhang is learning the tricky art from his old man. Every morning before heading off to kindergarten, the boy walks 500 meters along a wire with his dad close at hand to catch him just in case he falls.
Locals are suitably impressed with the 5-year-old, not just with his skills on the tightrope, but also because of his determination to stick with a training regimen. Each day, Zhang runs, does push-ups and even squats. His father also takes him out rock climbing near their home in Nanjiang county in southern Sichuan province.
Zhang's dad says he never pushed his boy into tightrope walking, instead explaining that Zhang got interested in it from watching him train. The proud father says that he hopes tightrope walking will help boost his son's self-confidence.
As for whether he hopes that Zhang will make a career out of it someday, he is unsure. His greatest wish is for Zhang to go to college. If that doesn't happen, then he hopes his son will follow his own passions.

New leader denies party 'circles the wagons' on bullying
Mary Lou McDonald has claimed her party doesn't 'circle the wagons' when dealing with cases of bullying, despite an attempt by Sinn Féin to gag members in a constituency embroiled in a dispute.
She also repeated her denial that there's a culture of bullying in the party, parroting her insistence that it is dealing with "localised issues".
Around 15 councillors and other public representatives across several counties have quit Sinn Féin or been expelled due to a range of disputes.
Party chairman Declan Kearney last month wrote to members in Dublin North-West ordering them not to discuss internal party matters in the media and warning of disciplinary action if they did.
He reportedly told members: "I cannot overstate how damaging this is to the party."
The dispute in the constituency has seen councillor Noeleen Reilly quit the party, and Sinn Féin TD Dessie Ellis censured for comments he made in the media suggesting she was not fit to serve in the party.
Sinn Féin has claimed Ms Reilly orchestrated an online bullying campaign against a fellow councillor. She denies this and insists she was the victim of bullying.
Last night, Sinn Féin said it was trying to resolve issues in the constituency at the time Mr Kearney's letter was sent. A statement added: "Media reports were only serving to inflame tensions and were counterproductive to the party's efforts."
During her first speech as leader, Ms McDonald spoke about building the party and said "this will mean changes in how we operate". She added: "We must be open, flexible and enthusiastic in creating space for newer members and for the sharing of new ideas".
During her appearance on RTÉ's 'The Week', Ms McDonald was asked about this section of her speech and cases of bullying in the party. She was asked if the culture in Sinn Féin is different to other parties and it was put to her party officials have written to members telling them not to talk to the media in a bid to "circle the wagons".
Ms McDonald replied saying: "I don't accept that."
She said the party has an independent complaints procedure and that doesn't make it different to other parties.
She said Sinn Féin's rules were applied in relation to allegations of bullying in Dublin North-West.
Later, she acknowledged there have been disputes in the party but put it down to Sinn Féin being a growing organisation. She said party members operate for the most part in a "friendly, co-operative and respectful way".
She added: "Members of our party actually resent a description in the public domain that says there is a culture of bullying in the party. There is nothing of the sort. What we have had are localised issues."

This Harvard Business Blog by John Quelch deals with marketing and its effects on various areas of life.
Mr. Quelch is an expert in his field. What I like the most about his posts is that he doesn't talk about funny ads and the latest product launches. Instead of presenting marketing only as a tool for companies to promote their products, he relates marketing to other topics such as the presidential election or the financial crisis. (more…)

Even though you get them throughout the year, Spring Onions are in season now there is something special about using vegetables in their right season. Spring onions so often get treated as just a garnish or a passing addition to 'Chinese' dishes, it's a little sad. Especially when they can play such a great starring role.
Here are some dishes in which they absolutely shine:
Patte Wale Pyaz ki Sabzi
Also called Hare Pyaz ki Sabzi, it couldn't be simpler or more flexible. You could use ginger and garlic or skip them, you could add potatoes too if you like. In it's simplest version, chop up a bunch or two of spring onions, green and white parts as well (or skip the white parts for a variation). Heat some oil in a pan, add a tsp of Cumin seeds and let them crackle and pop. If adding ginger and garlic, add them at this stage and fry till fragrant. Add salt to taste, 1/4 – 1/2 tsp of turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp of chili powder, and a pinch of garam masala (optional). If parboiled potatoes, add them at this point, cover and cook for a 3-4 minutes. Add the spring onions, stir and cook covered for 3- 4 minutes or until the spring onions wilt.
Asian style Spring Onion Pancakes
Very similar to a paratha, served with soy or other dipping sauces. Golden, crisp and perfect for breakfast or a snack. Add grated cheese along with the spring onions for an extra indulgent treat.
2 1/2 cups Flour
1 cup warm Water
Salt to taste
1 bunch Spring Onions, chopped, green parts only
Soy Sauce, sweet chili sauce or any sauce for dipping
Mix the flour with cup water until it forms a dough and keep kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic. Coat the dough lightly with oil and leave it to rest in a bowl with a damp cloth over it for 15 – 30 mins.
Divide the dough into 8 – 10 equal parts. Lightly oil the surface you will use to roll the dough out. Roll out one of the dough balls until quite thin. Sprinkle some of the spring onions and some salt on the surface of the dough and then use your fingers to start rolling the dough into a tube with the onions inside. Roll the tube into a spiral, flatten slightly and roll it out into a roti sized disk.
Heat a tava or a frying pan and lightly oil it. Place the pancake disk on the hot pan and cook for about 2 mins on each side or until golden brown. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
Use a pizza cutter or scissors to cut the pancake into wedges and serve with dipping sauces.

When I was just starting out in real estate, I enjoyed attending my mid-sized office's monthly meetings. They were great opportunities to meet and learn from more experienced colleagues, find out new and exciting tools for agents, catch up on corporate-directed initiatives and to simply take a break from the everyday grind. Back then, that was a valuable use of my time.
- Although every moment of every meeting may not be useful to a top producer, company meetings usually offer critical information that can dramatically impact an agent's practice, and less-experienced agents draw inspiration and motivation from those top agents.

From this morning's front page of Military.com:
Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The Army will deliver some key technologies to ground forces in war zones three years ahead of schedule as part of its $160 billion Future Combat Systems program led by Boeing Co. and SAIC Inc.
Senior Army officials on June 26 said changes to the FCS program will expedite the use of high-tech equipment, including unmanned sensors and robotics, to infantry brigades fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan by 2011.
Portions of FCS were expected to be used by armored units by 2014, but Army officials say the technology being developed is needed for the current war effort.
Lt. Gen. Michael A. Vane, director of the Army Capabilities Integration Center, said accelerating FCS and other complementary programs will help "filling the gaps" created by huge demands on the infantry brigades, while increasing the effectiveness and safety of U.S. soldiers.
Army officials maintain that while costs may rise in the short-term from the new schedule, they will balance out in future years and will not raise the program's overall price tag, which has been criticized by lawmakers.
Lead contractors Boeing and SAIC said the Army's decision to accelerate the FCS technologies shows confidence in the program's progress. FCS includes 14 manned and unmanned systems that are linked through a secure communications network.
On Wednesday, Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey briefed Defense Secretary Robert Gates on plans to restructure the program. Gates, who backed the shift, told reporters at a separate briefing Thursday that FCS "deserves support."
Dan Goure, a defense analyst at the Lexington Institute, said it appears that the Army "didn't want to repeat the same mistake" as the Air Force in battling Gates publicly over F-22 jets made by Lockheed Martin Corp. Gates also has previously raised doubts about the FCS program.
"Clearly this show that Gates is in command in a way few secretaries have been of the services," said Goure.
A few lawmakers lauded the Army's choice to deploy the latest technology to soldiers in the field. But House Armed Services Committee Chairman Ike Skelton, D-Mo., and Hawaii Democrat Neil Abercrombie, chairman of the air and land subcommittee, expressed concern that the new plan "may not allow for adequate testing of the equipment due to its very tight schedule."
The FCS program has long been criticized for remaining over budget and behind schedule. Earlier this year, the House Armed Services Committee voted to cut about $200 million from the Army's request of $3.6 billion for the FCS program in the fiscal 2009 budget.
"The Army has struggled to justify FCS for years, this is the latest evolution in this saga," said Nick Schwellenbach, an analyst for the Project on Government Oversight. "Yet at least now FCS may now end up helping troops currently deployed overseas."

Devotion for the week of 7/14/14-7/20/14 (Sorry it's late. It's summer and I totally forgot that yesterday was Monday…)
I have met many people in my life who I knew that if they were to die right then, they'd go to Hell. Every time I've met someone like that, it's made me very sad and I've wanted to do something about it. Unfortunately, many times I didn't do anything. But there have been times when I've tried very hard to save someone's soul. Back when I was in 7th grade I had a friend who claimed to be a Wiccan. At that time I didn't really know what she believed, and I still don't. People used to tease her and call her a witch. However, as far as I know, she didn't do any witchcraft or perform any rituals. She was just into the supernatural. Anyway, I spent a lot of time during that year, before she moved over the summer, witnessing to her. I wish I could tell you that she's a Christian now, but I can't. I remember one time in particular I was really fed up with her constant rejection of my attempts to talk with her about Christianity. It was after school and I had a flute lesson to get to. I saw her by the bathroom and we were talking. I don't remember exactly what we said but I do remember what I said as I was walking off. And I know you aren't supposed to be this blunt when you're witnessing to people, but I was on my last straw and I didn't know what else to say. So, angry, I shouted to her, "You're going to Hell!" And her reply was even more surprising than my sudden outburst. She shouted back, "I don't care!" … I had never gotten that kind of response before and I haven't since. Usually people know that's true but try not to think about it. But she knew it was true and didn't care. I don't understand how someone couldn't care that they were going to be tortured for eternity in a pit of fire. I'll never know if she truly didn't care or if she was just saying that, but her words will stay with me forever. The Bible describes Hell in a few different places. In Matthew 13:49-50 Jesus says, "This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth". Revelation 20:14-15 says 'Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire'. Based off of those descriptions, Hell does not sound like a place that I wouldn't mind going to. I encourage you to witness to the lost souls around you and show them that Hell is not a place they want to go. But don't do what I did and try to scare them into being a Christian. Yes, make them aware of how horrible Hell is, but also make them aware of how amazing Heaven is and how graceful and loving our Savior is.

Free for 14 days, demo sites on Flywheel allow for you to create a site and set up a demonstration of the site, prior to paying it. The typical use case for demo sites is handling final delivery of sites for clients when you want your client to pay for the hosting. Often, customers will develop a WordPress site locally (we recommend Local by Flywheel — it's free, fast and super functional), and then create a demo site on Flywheel once they're ready to hand off billing for the client.
To create a demo site on Flywheel:
Click "Create a site" from your Flywheel dashboard, and when choosing a plan select "Create a Demo Site."
Get confirmation from your client that it's good to go.
Click "Transfer Billing" to send an email to your client with a link to pay for the site.
Once your client pays for the site, you can point the DNS and take the site live!
The great thing about demo sites on Flywheel, is you no longer need to set up your client sites on a "demo server" prior to them launching, then move the site to your client's hosting when approved. Demo sites on Flywheel are the final resting spot for the site. Once it's paid for, all you need to do is point DNS and the site is live! It's as easy as that.
Demo sites make the lives of web designers and clients much easier. For a complete walkthrough of demo sites, check out this video:

Yesterday was my birthday. Another year down. 62 it be, whether I like it or not. I remember though, being a boy, when I thought of 60 as "ancient". My dad seemed so old to me when he was 60. In fact, people started to seem old when in their 50's and of course in many ways, that was actually true, due to their lifestyles. Work, eat, drink, work, eat, drink repeat. The idea of doing things to make you look and feel younger, just didn't seem to exist.
For me, now, I am 62 and I cannot change that fact, but I have my music, my writing, my swimming, my performing, all as part of a regime to help me in this process of aging. Of course I hear ...."Oh, it's only a number!" Lol right, tell me about it!! Tell that to my legs and my back! Lol But it's MY number and it's getting higher and higher all the time, WAY TOO FAST!! But what's the alternative? Right? We all know what THAT is. Three years ago while suffering a stroke on a hospital gurney, I would HAPPILY have accepted someone saying, "I can make this stop, but when it does, you have to be 62." "Done!" So welcome 62. Please however, take your time becoming 63 would ya?
We had a lovely day together. I had a great birthday. Other than being home, I couldn't have asked for better. A day surrounded by my "other family", my band, my dear friends for a day of sharing conversation, time, fellowship, love and oh yes........sake!!
We left the hotel here in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia, around 2:30pm. headed downtown on foot, taking in the beautiful, November, Spring-like weather.
Victoria is the capital city of British Columbia, and it sits on the southern tip of Vancouver Island off Canada's Pacific coast. The City of Victoria is the 7th most densely populated city in Canada with 4,405.8 people per square kilometre, which is a greater population density than even Toronto.
Named after Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and, at the time, British North America, Victoria is one of the oldest cities in the Pacific Northwest, with British settlement beginning in 1843. The city has retained a large number of its historic buildings, in particular its two most famous landmarks, Parliament Buildings (finished in 1897) and the Empress Hotel, (opened in 1908). The city's Chinatown is the second oldest in North America after Francisco's.
We walked around the bay marina, passing by those historic buildings and we settled first on a beautiful pub called, The Bard & Banker. What a truly beautiful interior to enjoy while having one of the best pints of Guinness in Canada.
For fun, I asked each of my companions if they knew what a "Bard" was. Nah, they didn't get it. Do you know without looking it up? What if I told you that Robert Burns was a bard? William Shakespeare was also a bard? Got it?
Yes, a bard in medieval Gaelic and British culture, was a professional story teller, verse-maker and music composer, employed by a patron (such as a monarch or noble), to commemorate one or more of the patron's ancestors and to praise the patron's own activities. "So you're a bard!" says Joe. "Hmmm, I never thought of that before, says I, I guess you're right!" 😂
We enjoyed one pint of Guinness before heading off to the beautiful Irish Pub, known as The Irish Times.
Voted Best Irish Pub in North America this year, the Irish Times was first home to the Bank of Montreal, built in 1894 by Sir Francis Rattenbury. It was Rattenbury's first design in the chateau style stone work used 10 years later on his development of the iconic Empress Hotel. Today within its walls you will discover cozy fireplaces, rich dark wood, Victorian-etched glass doors and windows, shining gold chandeliers and a fascinating collection of memorabilia. Yet another pint of Guinness was thoroughly enjoyed.
We then headed to GOZEN for some of the best sushi and sake I have ever had, period! I thought I was selecting a fine bottle of the stuff for the others because I am not a fan of sake. But this was different. This was high-end and served to us chilled, as if white wine, and it was FANTASTIC! It complimented the sushi as a fine red wine compliments a great steak.
We all had an emotional moment when Sam mentioned to me how proud he was of me, due to the fact that when Charlotte (the terminally ill woman from the previous show) was brought back stage to meet us, he said I immediately became "a nurse" once again. Not a singer, not a performer or any thing close to a so-called celebrity but rather just a nurse, Alan Frew R.N. He embellished a bit more and it caught us all off guard and made us emotional. I am proud of those letters after my name. They have served me well throughout my life. I worked hard for them and I loved being an R.N. Of course I understand how uncomfortable and scared and reluctant some people may feel when discussing "life" with someone who is in the fast process of "dying", I get it and I respect it. For me though, I have no problems conversing with those who are dying because number one, they're not dead yet. Yes, they are living minute by minute and those minutes are precious, but I also know that since we never know what's around the corner for the rest of us, we could just as easily be conversing with "ourselves". So, we had our emotional moment, I thanked Sam for his kind words, after which we all raised our glasses and toasted Charlotte, then got on with our own process of living and enjoying our time together.
Nightcap back at the hotel and off to bed.
Just before sleep I saw the gut-wrenchingly, awful report of yet another mass-shooting down south in the USA. I saw a mother screaming at the camera "I don't want your thoughts, I don't want your prayers. I WANT GUN CONTROL!! This was the tragic figure of a woman, completely broken because her son was caught in and survived, the Las Vegas concert massacre, only to die in a hail of bullets the other night in Thousand Oaks, CA. Holy fuck America, what's it going to take?
True story. When I had my stroke, they took my drivers licence away. Stroke protocol. Ok I get it. But what I had to do to get it back was nothing short of demeaning. I had to take tests that would have embarrassed a 2yr old Golden Retriever. Could I draw a line from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 etc all the way to 20. Could I spot an elephant hiding in among the zebras. Did I remember what year it was when I was born and could I write that year down? On and on and on they came and at the end of it all when I passed their tests and they approved me mentally fit to drive a car, I took the actual driving test and they charged me $800 to get my licence back!! All because I had the audacity to fall ill.
Dear America, would it be too much to ask therefore, that a little psychological test should be required of someone who wishes to buy an AK47?? Is it too much to ask, that killing devices, capable of destroying dozens-upon-dozens of people with one hail of bullets, NOT be purchasable, by regular, everyday folk, or worse yet, everyday folk with mental health issues? In Canada we have had 15 mass shootings since 1885!!! Why is that? Ask yourself why that is and when you find the answer, ask yourself if you would like that for your street, your neighbourhood and town, your city and state and country. My heart goes out to you America, for I KNOW that the vast majority of you want proper gun control, but corrupt, shady and unethical, big business, just won't let that happen. Your neighbours and friends and your families and YOUR CHILDREN are being slaughtered 😢....RISE UP! DO SOMETHING!! REBEL AGAINST THIS NIGHTMARE!!
Our show in Victoria was held at the quaint and lovely McPherson Playhouse, known as The Mac, originally built as a Pantages Theatre in 1914. In the 1960s it was donated, with supporting funding for its renovation, to the people of Victoria by Thomas Shanks McPherson. It became part of the Centennial Square redevelopment, finished in 1965. Renovations preserved and refurbished the Neo-Baroque auditorium but added a modern lobby and various technical improvements. A lovely little spot and we "knocked it out of the park" before a very lively audience indeed. THANK YOU GUYS!
Also once again we had a great "signup" for CAMH (Centre for Addiction & Mental Health) THANK YOU AGAIN GUYS!!
Bed around 1 a.m. tomorrow is Nanaimo.
Goodnight all, until that time.

CARACAS (Reuters) - A Venezuelan opposition leader wanted by police over deadly street protests said on Sunday he would hand himself in next week after his supporters march in Caracas.
Authorities accuse Leopoldo Lopez of murder and terrorism in connection with violence around four days of sporadic anti-government demonstrations that have left three people dead and both sides blaming each other for the bloodshed.
"I will be there showing my face. I have nothing to fear," Lopez said in a brief video posted online. "If there is any illegal decision to jail me, then I will accept that decision and that infamous persecution by the state."
The protesters, mostly in better-off eastern Caracas, have vowed to stay in the streets until they force President Nicolas Maduro from power, although there is no sign of that happening.
In a late-night nationally televised broadcast, Maduro told Lopez to hand himself in "without a show," and said he had rejected pressure from Washington to drop the case against him.
He said he had ordered three U.S. consular officials to leave the country for conspiring against his government during meetings with students. He did not name them, but said the foreign minister would give more details later.
U.S. State Department officials in Washington were not immediately available for comment.
"Venezuela doesn't take orders from anyone!" Maduro said.
He says his government is facing small bands of "trained fascists" who are determined to block roads, damage property and fight with the security forces. For a fourth night, police fired teargas to clear about 1,000 protesters in eastern Caracas.
In Lopez's video, he said he would deliver a petition to the state prosecutor's office on Tuesday after his supporters marched from the capital's Plaza Venezuela. He would join the rally at the end and the visit the office alone, he said.
Hours later, Maduro called on employees of state oil company PDVSA to march to the presidential palace on Tuesday on the same route - something which might put off some in the opposition.
In a day of twists and turns unusual even for Venezuela's turbulent politics, Maduro said his government had received a U.S. request to sit down with the opposition, free arrested protesters, and drop the charges against Lopez.
"I replied that I don't accept threats from anyone in this world!" Maduro said, flourishing his printed response in a manner very much like his mentor, the late Hugo Chavez.
Showing news photos to the camera of protesters in Caracas lighting gasoline bombs and fighting with riot police, as well as burned-out police vehicles, he addressed the U.S. leader.
"Here you go Obama! This is the result of their actions, the fascists!" he said. "Nothing will stop us from defeating them."
Hooded protesters have also gathered outside the headquarters of state TV channel VTV for the past few nights, lighting fires in the streets and hurling stones and Molotov cocktails toward the building.
Maduro said VTV was being attacked again during his speech. And he advised Lopez to hand himself in quickly.
"The far right are looking for him to create a tragedy ... in their madness, they want to create a political crisis. They have thought about ending the life of Senor Lopez."
Lopez, a photogenic 42-year-old who speaks fluent English, once studied in the United States on a swimming scholarship.
He had hoped to run against Hugo Chavez in the 2012 presidential election but bowed out of the opposition's primary to support state governor Henrique Capriles' unsuccessful bid.
The unrest of the last few days has underlined the problem for peaceful student demonstrators seeking to distance themselves from a masked, violent rump. Student leaders say they are "infiltrators."
Sporadic political protests, especially in the staunchly pro-opposition parts of the east of the capital, have become common over the last decade or so in Venezuela. But they have normally fizzled out after a few days as locals get tired of blocked streets and the smells of teargas and burning trash.
Chacao residents fear the city's criminals have taken advantage of the unrest and stretched police resources to rob and steal with more impunity than usual in the deserted streets surrounding the nighttime protests.
Many moderates in the opposition say demonstrations in which people get hurt and property damaged only play into the hands of critics in the government who are always at the ready to jump on any signs their rivals are violent "saboteurs."
Capriles, the opposition leader who lost to Chavez in 2012, and then to Maduro last year, also urged his supporters on Sunday to continue demonstrating, but without any violence.
"Don't let those who have an interest in violence trap you into an agenda that plays into the hands of those who want to hide the problems which we have in this country," he said.

13 Greatest World Cup Players Of All Time
The World Cup is the greatest opportunity for players to show what they are capable of. Some of the best of all time have failed to shine on the biggest stage, whilst some with much less ability have used it to prove their worth.
Here are the 13 men who have shined brightest at the World Cup over the year…
Fabio Cannavaro
The rock-solid centre-back went to four World Cups with Italy from 1998-2010, playing 18 matches in total at the biggest tournament on the planet.
Three of those trips were fairly forgettable, but one stood out and made Cannavaro a legend in his country. He captained Italy to the World Cup win in Germany, winning World Player of the Year as a result. He was sensational throughout the tournament and became the first Italian to lift the trophy for 24 years in the process.
Dino Zoff
The goalkeeping legend played in four tournaments for Italy from 1970–'82 winning the tournament in his final appearance, captaining the team to victory over Germany in Madrid.
Italy finished runners-up in 1970 and fourth in '78 with Zoff in both squads, making 17 World Cup appearances in total. He is the oldest World Cup winner after that '82 performance at 40-years-old, for which he won the Best Goalkeeper award.
Daniel Passarella
The only Argentinian to win two World Cups, the no-nonsense defender captained his side to victory in 1978 and then was part of the squad that won it again in 1986.
Widely recognised as Argentina's greatest ever defender, one of the hardest men in football history and one of the most inspirational leaders on a pitch anywhere. He also scored an incredible amount of goals for a centre-back, notching 22 in 70 international appearances, including the key opening goal against France in the 1978 group stages from the penalty spot.
He was in the Team of the Tournament in '78 and his performances in his homeland that year earn him a spot on this list.
Jurgen Klinsmann
A number of German strikers narrowly missed out on this list despite a strong case – Uwe Seeler, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Thomas Muller – but the one to edge ahead of them is Jurgen Klinsmann.
The polarising forward went to three World Cups with his national side, winning in 1990 and scoring 11 goals in 17 appearances across eight years.
He crucially won the tournament when Rummenigge and Seeler did not, and he has more goals and appearances than Muller, so that is why Klinsi wins this little German tussle. Although Muller could well oust him in Russia this summer.
Gianluigi Buffon
One of only three men to play in five World Cups, and was a central figure in the Italian team which triumphed in Germany in 2006. The legendary stopper won the Goalkeeper of the Tournament that year as his team conceded just two goals throughout the entire competition, which is a record he shares with Fabien Barthex in 1998 and Iker Casillas in 2010.
Italy's performances in his other appearances were not on the same level, but for his longevity and heroics in the winning campaign of 2006, Buffon is certainly in the argument to be the greatest goalkeeper in World Cup history.
A player often overlooked as he was on the field at the same time as Pele, but he should not be forgotten, having won two World Cups and scored in both finals he played in – becoming the first person to do so.
Vava scored nine goals in 10 World Cup matches over the 1958 and '62 tournaments, lifting the trophy in Sweden and Chile, he was also the joint top-scorer in Chile.
Forgotten by some, but rightfully remembered here as one of the World Cup greats.
Diego Maradona
El Diego is often credited for winning the 1986 World Cup for Argentina on his own, and whilst that is clearly not true, few in his home country would disagree. He certainly beat England on his own in that tournament as he scored two memorable goals for very different reasons.
The controversial figure played 21 times at World Cups across four tournaments, only three men have made more appearances. Maradona netted eight times in those games, including five in '86. Argentina scored four goals across the quarter and semi-finals that year and Maradona got all of them en route to being named Player of the Tournament.
He may not have scored in 1990, but he still made the Team of the Tournament as his team made the final. His achievements were incredible, but his cheating will forever be a stain on his character.
No other player has appeared in three World Cup finals (Pele won three tournaments but missed the 1962 final), making Cafu the outright leader in that respect.
The right-back was a model of consistency for Brazil as they reached the 1994, 1998 and 2002 finals, winning the former and the latter, he also went to the 2006 World Cup, taking his total to four.
He made 20 World Cup appearances and also holds the record for most yellow cards in the tournament (6) although that doesn't really warrant his position here. However, lifting the trophy as Brazil's captain in '02 certainly does.
Gerd Muller
For many years, Gerd Muller set the standard in terms of World Cup goal-scoring. By the end of the 1974 tournament he had netted 14 times in 13 matches and this was not bettered until Ronaldo surpassed him in 2006.
He was top scorer in 1970 with 10 goals, although Germany were beaten in the semi-finals. He managed just four in 1974, but one of those was the winning strike in the final as Germany beat Netherlands, so I'm sure he wasn't disappointed with his return.
Just two World Cups for 'Der Bomber' but he made a serious impact at both of them.
The original Ronaldo went to four World Cups and won two of them, holding the record for the most goals in the competition from 2006 until 2014. He also shares the record for most matches with at least one goal (11) and most matches with at least two goals (4).
Whilst he didn't play in 1994, he was the main man for Brazil en route to the 1998 final and as he led them to victory in the 2002 tournament. It was, arguably, his lack of full fitness in the '98 final that gave France the opportunity to beat the men in gold.
Ronaldo was the best striker on the planet in the late '90s and early noughties and he showed it at World Cups, scoring 16 times in his 19 appearances.
Lothar Matthaeus
The German stalwart went to five World Cups and no one has played more games at the premier tournament than him (25).
Matthaus went to every World Cup with Germany from 1982-1998 and won the event in 1990, being selected in the Team of the Tournament for his performances and captained his side to lifting the trophy.
He scored six goals across his World Cup career, four of those coming in the Italia '90 win, including the winning goal in the quarter-finals. He also scored in the shootout against England in the semis.
An inspirational leader and model professional who was a lynchpin for the best team in the world.
Miroslav Klose
A man who made the very best of his abilities and holds the record for most goals scored at World Cups. Rarely considered one of the best players on the planet, Miroslav Klose shone on the greatest stage of them all with incredible consistency.
The striker scored 16 times in 24 World Cup matches from 2002-2014 and was still so important to his side at the latest event that he started the final against Argentina. He scored twice in that tournament which saw him equal and then overtake Ronaldo's record.
Klose also holds the record for appearing in the most World Cup semi-finals (4), most knockout games played (14), most matches won (17) and most tournaments with at least four goals (3). He was top scorer in 2006 with 5, although he only lifted the trophy once, in 2014.
A great underdog, but a greater performer.
The only man to win three World Cups, and arguably the greatest player of all time, it is only fitting that Pele tops the list of greatest footballer to ever grace the World Cup.
The Brazilian legend lifted the trophy in 1958, 1962 and 1970, being the one man who made it into all three of those squads for his country – he also came to England for the unsuccessful 1966 campaign.
The diminutive striker netter 14 times in 17 World Cup games, putting him fifth on the all-time scorers list, but with a better goal ratio than both Klose and Ronaldo. Pele proved at the World Cup just what a great player he was, scoring in two winning finals – something only he and Vava have managed.

Susie + Sean // Engaged // Smoke Bomb Engagement Session
We recently got to use smoke bombs in an engagement session we shot over the weekend and the photos turned out beautifully! We had a blast working with Susie and Sean, and despite never handling smoke bombs before they did a great job! This session was filled with a lot of laughter and play and it was truly a memorable session. The weather was slightly windy, but it made for awesome photos. I'm super excited at how this session turned out and even more excited to share it with all of you.
Happy Monday!

Nobody writes music like Joe Stanziola, better known as Second Hand King. Every time I listen to his records I connect with and feel his writing comes from the heart. Bad Dreamer pairs his honest and open penmanship with that of Jesse Bartmess' electronic sound manipulation and production. The end result, is Bad Dreamer.
If It Goes Wrong - the duos debut project - is a mild, slow pace ambient work that captures the listener through subtle sounds and intricate lyrics. Music that invokes emotion will always stand the test of time, because when you hear it, it will make you think and feel. Tracks like 'Til September' and 'Avoiding' capture that experience perfectly.
The progressive production of Bartmess comes from experimentation mixed with experience. The long drawn out chords and quiet drumming lay the backdrop for Stanziola to shine over his instrumentation, blending sounds that are acoustic, analog, digital, and everything in between.
If It Goes Wrong definitely makes for one of 2017's top releases as it released this November, making for a great soundtrack to the upcoming winter. Stream it on Spotify or your preferred platform today.
Also for purchase on Bandcamp.

Charlotte Heal
I only discovered Charlotte Heal recently, giving an old talk on It's Nice That and instantly adored her design work and overall style. Her studio's use of clean design lets the work breathe along with subtle colour palettes (Kinfolk) work so beautifully. There is nothing not to like.
