Bird Ringing (Banding)
During some trips, especially at weekends in the spring, summer and autumn, it may be possible to see birds in the hand. This is part of the national ringing programme which studies the population dynamics and migration strategies of the UKs birds. The ringing is carried out by trained ringers under licenses issued by the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) on behalf of the Government.
As well as providing a close-up and personal view of some of Britains more secretive birds it also offers ample photographic opportunities - but well leave it to your conscience whether or not you tick it!
However, if you would rather not see birds in the hand for whatever reason, please let us know and we will avoid sites where we know that ringing is taking place during your trip.

Kitchen is one of focusing point in our home. This is place for cooking, eating and relaxing. It will be challenging for decorating this place. Nowadays, cottage style kitchens will be trend. It can be applied especially in limited space. How can we maximize the restriction space for improving the appearance and functional aspect of our kitchen are interesting challenge. Most of cottage style kitchens are designed in classic style. It's for reflect and remind the past.
Limited space is first challenge of developing cottage style kitchens. We must find a way to arrange all kitchen appliance in appropriate way. For handling this situation, we can adapt kitchen island concept. Place the main kitchen table in center of kitchen and give free space around this table. It will give free space for moving around when doing cooking activities. This free space will give loose impression. Smart way for handling limited space.
Arrange all of kitchen appliances in line position following kitchen wall shape. Maximize all of place, including all of kitchen cabinet and kitchen wall as places for putting all kitchen appliances. Pot, basin and all similar appliances can be hanged in the wall. Dishes, spoons and forks can be placed in kitchen racks. These racks can arranged above kitchen cabinets. The point here, we use all available space as storage place in cottage style kitchens.
For reflecting the past, kitchen can be decorated with some antique, classic and traditional kitchen cabinets style. Combine with light brown, light blue, grey or white color for painting kitchen wall. If we want our kitchen is looked larger than actually space, we can paint with paint. If we want our kitchen is looked more classic and bring the past atmosphere, light brown or orange are the fit color.

T.J.'s Shams just officially sold-out. So to celebrate, we thought we'd give him the overdue but requisite interview. Thanks T.J.!
What was the process of coming up with the Shams design?
Prior to creating the design, I was really looking to make something that had a feeling of familiarity but with twist of originality. Something that could appeal to people on a variety of levels. Initially I was inspired by the ideas for the leagues that were scrapped in favor of the Reject League – the Mythology League and the Fairy Tale League. I saw these leagues as having timeless imagery that could be twisted in a way that would produce some really cool ideas. The wolf in sheeps clothing is a theme heard and seen over and over again in print, cartoons and stories but I had never seen it expressed in a "cool" and stylish way. We've seen tons of wolf logos, but not any quite like this – so I thought it would be a great idea to explore. My only issue would be how exactly to portray it, should it be more lighthearted or more serious? I just grabbed a pad and pencil, looked at some inspirational images and tried to work it out the best I could.
Did you feel like the cap was a good realization of your vision?
I think the cap was a tremendous rendition of my design – it came out even nicer than I anticipated. The changes that Brandiose made were on point, the omission of the border thus making the staffs tonal, and the red under-bill were strokes of genius. I also appreciated that how prior to the creation of the cap, I was asked what my preference was for cap color. I originally chose black and they went with my suggestion on the production model. I was also fixated on the "pebble" thread color for the wolfs face and was very happy to see that it worked so well in the flesh.
What was it like to see your cap in the Clink store?
It was a great feeling seeing it there in the store next to all the other Clink products. I had feelings of pride, excitement, anxiousness, happiness and a sense of accomplishment all rolled into one. It had been a dream to make my own New Era fitted and Brandiose made it happen. Knowing how the design started out and then seeing it in finished form in the store was a gratifying feeling. On the one hand you hope that your cap sells out, but on the other, you think even if it doesn't sell well that's okay too because you're so proud of it and what it took to get it to this point.
What was it like to see your hat in photos, being worn by people from allover the World?
Mind boggling. From the feature in Strictly Fitteds to seeing the Shams traveling and getting love from those all around the world is hard to wrap my brain around. I greatly appreciate all the pics and compliments the cap has gotten, and I feel so blessed to be able to reach people with a design . The idea that the Shams crossed cultural and language barriers is a wonderful testament to art and design as a whole and is a very gratifying feeling. I would like to see the Shams on every continent…although I realize that there may not be very many fitted wearers down in Antarctica. Seeing the Shams being worn at the Blind Project benefit was a proud moment as well.
What would you like Clink to do with your design next?
I think what I was really happy about with the Shams was that I was able to create supporting marks in conjunction with the main logo. While the Shams unfortunately came down the pike a little too late to get either a matching tee or patch, I think the "S" mark could be used in some way as it seemed to get support from my fellow Clinkers. In addition, I created Gramma Sham (based on Casey's red riding hood comment in the Clink Room) something a little bit different but still the same themes of trickery and hidden danger as the original Shams design . As for a cap re-issue, I am excited to work again with Brandiose, hear their ideas for another Shams cap and explore the options that we have in front of us for the next step in the Shams evolution.
Do you have any advice for people creating their own designs for Clink's Collaboration Leagues?
Keep hammering away at your designs. Only good things can come from that constant chipping away at the paper with the pencil. Think about shapes and the weight of your design. Simpler is often better, but don't let that dumb down your concept either. You will know when you've got a winner for the most part, It will speak to you. That said, take heed to suggestions too, no matter how good you think your mark is because sometimes another set of eyes are the most valuable tool you can use.

Miami Gardens - Opa-locka
Opa-locka employees file complaints against city attorney over grand jury breach
When the FBI wanted to coordinate federal grand jury subpoenas for 20 current and former Opa-locka government employees, an agent asked City Attorney Vincent Brown to help get the word out to the witnesses in the public corruption probe.
But instead of contacting each of them about scheduling grand jury appearances through the FBI, Brown emailed a confidential witness list to every government employee — more than 180.
"Govern yourselves accordingly," Brown wrote in an email blast, attaching an FBI agent's request for assistance.
While Brown has described the breach as a "human error," two Opa-locka government employees — finance director Charmaine Parchment and grants administrator Delia Kennedy — have lodged misconduct complaints against the city attorney with the Florida Bar and Miami-Dade County Commission on Ethics & Public Trust.
In the complaints filed last week, both employees assert that Brown's disclosure of the confidential grand jury list was "intentional" and placed them and other witnesses in "danger" — at "risk" of "retaliation and intimidation" by targets of the FBI investigation focusing on suspected contract kickbacks and extortion schemes.
Moreover, they say Brown has "conflicts of interest" as the city attorney, claiming he is advising grand jury witnesses who began testifying this month as well as several senior Opa-locka officials who are expected to be defendants in the looming indictment.
The two employees also claim Brown advised them and other grand jury witnesses that they have "immunity," which they have learned is "erroneous."
To bolster their complaint, Parchment and Kennedy attached a Miami Herald story dated April 7 that spotlighted the beginning of the federal grand jury investigation in Miami, Brown's disclosure of the witness list and the names of key witnesses, including those of the finance director and grants administrator.
Brown, who has served as Opa-locka's city attorney for more than a year and collects a monthly retainer fee of $24,500, said he has done nothing wrong. "There was no violation" of federal grand jury procedures, Brown told the Miami Herald on Friday, declining to comment further about the employees' specific allegations in their complaints.
Brown said that when the FBI raided Opa-locka City Hall last month, agents gathered more than 60 employees in a room and read off the names of those subpoenaed as grand jury witnesses.
"You and everybody else know that information was already made public by the FBI on the day of the raid," Brown said, adding that his disclosure breach was a "harmless error" as a result.
Brown asserted that sending the email blast of the grand jury witness list to all Opa-locka government employees was "was not done with any malicious intent."
Legal experts said, however, that whatever Brown's intentions may have been by disclosing the confidential list, he breached the secret protocol of the panel's procedures.
"He's screwing the pooch," said Miami attorney Joseph DeMaria, a former federal prosecutor. "He's disclosing who's being subpoenaed by the grand jury by telling the world rather than keeping this quiet."
Brown, who in 2008 received a public reprimand from the Florida Supreme Court for "professional misconduct," said that the two Opa-locka employees have "every right" to lodge a complaint against him.
But in the end, he said, the "truth will prevail" in his favor.

Marco Rubio Responds To Harry Reid's "Outrageous" Remarks
Just another reason to vote for Marco Rubio in Florida and Sharron Angle in Nevada. It is shocking that the voters in Florida and Nevada even allow these races to be close in the polls. Charlie Crist and Harry Reid? Really? How hasn't this quote been all over the news? It is appauling (but not shocking) how Reid plays the race card here. I'm trying not to lose my cool....

Title: Changed
Author: Alicia Renee Kline
Release date: April 7th, 2015
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tour: Irresistible Reads Book Tours
It was only supposed to be a one night thing…
Will Delaney and Gracie Alexander are little more than acquaintances when fate lands them in same place at the same time. One drunken hookup later, they decide that the best course of action for all involved is to pretend it never happened.
Will's recently divorced. Gracie's perennially single.
Upon first glance, they have absolutely nothing in common.
They both agree on one thing: they're not looking for a relationship.
The only problem is that they can't seem to stay away from each other.
Can two people who have sworn off love forever find it in the most unexpected setting?
Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25304260-changed
I awoke in my new favorite position: wrapped in Will's arms. I snuggled into his embrace, relishing the feel of his bare skin against mine. His grip around me tightened, a reflex even in slumber. I was certain he was still asleep – his deep, even breathing was just this side of a full on snore.
Sunlight flooded through the window in my bedroom. Even though the temperature outside was well below freezing, you'd have thought it was summer in my apartment. Somehow the tension and the uncertainty of the previous night – of the past week, really – had vanished, leaving behind the warmth of an emerging plan.
The new job could work. Fort Wayne could work. Will and I could continue being uncommitted to one another. He wasn't opposed to me invading his hometown, moving into his backyard so to speak. And as long as I was willing to accept that we'd never be able to be seen in public with each other again, things were golden. At least I could have this. Though always with the understanding that the second I wanted more and was able to find it, Will was history.
He never had to know I didn't intend to take him up on the bail out clause. Ever. The realization should have scared me beyond belief, but I was as calm as if I'd just admitted the sky was blue or the Earth wasn't flat. The fact of the matter was it just was.
Embracing singlehood for the rest of my life wouldn't be so bad if I could wake up like this each morning

Simba Gee, has always been the go to guy for Noble Stylz and most artistes that roll with TMG. This year he is managing to close the year on a high note because of the great work he did on the 2015 hit song "Kusvika Rinyure", a single which has stayed on the radio charts for long.
We reviewed the single months ago here. We do not regret having co-signed it from onset, it simply confirms "God's own" has been moving in the spirit of knowing what's dope and what's not. Part of the Masofa Panze 3 catalogue as well.
I love it especially the way Noble starts of as a broke dude somewhere in the countryside talking to a beautiful lady. The vocals are truth and the band in the middle of the city in the night time. The G in Simba Gee must've meant genius….. and don't ever get it Qounfuzed. It's artistry, a big boost for hip-hop.
And if you don't want hip-hop to suck, don't ignore this.

Granaries with unique design features have been known to exist in the Northern
Sierra Madre Mountains associated with the Trincheras and Paquimé cultural
system for over a
hundred years. In the past decade granary systems have also been found at several
Salado sites, including School House Point Mound and Pumpkin Center, which is
known as
Granary Row Locus 2. Evidence of other granaries is found at Canyon Creek and
in the San Pedro Valley, in central and southern Arizona, and in the Mimbres
area of southwestern
New Mexico. All of these appear to be late date post-Chaco sites.
The archaeological debate whether the smaller kivas at Chaco (C.E. 850
- 1130) were actually corn storage silos continues. In the Paquimé
(C.E. 1250 -1425) culture region, however, the silos or granaries are
self-evident. Corn must be stored at 12 percent or less moisture content
or it will mold. Silo (kiva) "benches" and horizontal wood beam pilasters,
like those found in Chaco Canyon N.M. kivas, may have supported a latticework
floor with an air space beneath to keep the corn dry (bottom right).
The space for the horizontal wood beam pilasters are clearly visible
on the exterior of the Paquimé granary (top right). In both cases,
these extensive and large granaries indicate corn was widely grown
throughout the region and then centralized for storage. In the Paquimé culture
region the corn was dried, stored and then transported to Paquimé itself,
approximately 75 miles from the Sky Island site. At Chaco, the corn was grown
up to 75 -100 miles away, transported to the central outliers, and then
transported again for storage in Chaco Canyon villages such as Pueblo
Bonito. Transhumance agriculture is strongly supported by the evidence in
this unique architecture. The collection of fertile water and the corn storage
strategy gave the Anasazi and Paquimé peoples the ability to survive many
short-term and a number of severe long-term droughts (above).
Paquimé Sky Island
Recent archaeological
hypotheses have led to scientific experiments on scale models (above).
Using an advanced alarm system, these tests emonstrated that the
carbon monoxide produced by one live charcoal briquette exceeded the
deadly level by 10 times in less than sixty seconds. This strongly
suggests that the ancients had knowledge of this naturally occurring
long-term corn storage strategy when they designed their public architecture.
Technology of Paquimé/Chaco Smoker Granaries-Kiva
The Chaco kiva/silo debate among archaeologists continues to be a widely ignored
concept. The basic question is whether all of the kiva-type rooms were
just that, i.e. religious kivas, or were primarily long-term corn storage
granaries. At Chaco Canyon, in Pueblo Bonito, there are at least four basic
circular room designs. This would indicate that there were at least four different
Based on our research of Paquimé granaries, I believe that the smaller
Chaco kivas should be re-evaluated as multipurpose facilities that
were primarily used as silos and, when empty, were also used as living
quarters previous to abandonment and for religious blessing ceremonies after
C.E. 1275. Many archaeologists
agree with the living quarters theory, but fail to explain the hearth
and ventilation system that produces carbon monoxide built into the
smaller "kivas." Our research indicates a completely
new theory that explains the hearth and ventilation features. What
I propose is that these Chaco silos were such high tech grain storage
facilities that most archaeologists have not as yet accepted any theory as
to their practical use as long-term grain silos.
As excavated by Emil Haury, the Hohokam had a less well understood
structure that had a raised floor, fire pit and schist stone risers
and may have functioned in the same way as kiva silos and olla granaries.
Although burials are common in Hohokam pit houses, there is no burial
documented in this room.
My original proposal, based on a study of the Paquimé granaries,
is that the Anasazi used live coals in the hearth below the humidity
control box to manage environmental conditions in the storage chamber
above. The smoke and tannins released from the charcoal helped flavor,
preserve and protect the stored grain from mold, insect and rodent
pests. Robert M. Adams, the archaeologist who proposed this very ingenious
theory, also observes that carbon monoxide from a sealed chamber is
a very effective pesticide that has no harmful effect on grain as a
food product. Kivas, however, are very dangerous to humans who might
be using these small, dark and smoky chambers as emergency
living quarters. This storage strategy helped the Anasazi and Paquimé
peoples survive many droughts and contra-indicates
living quarters and religious chambers.
It is important that there are no burials in the round rooms of Pueblo
Bonito, said Roger Moore, an archaeologist at Chaco Culture Park. It
is also significant that there are no burials in Granary Row at Pumpkin
Center or School House Point. It is clear that these peoples avoided
burials in food storage facilities. Burials are not associated with
Granary Row at Pueblo Bonito or Salado granaries, further supporting
our hypothesis for long-term food storage.

I have written elsewhere: "set aside videos of cute kittens or adolescents cracking up their skateboards. Let's focus on those other things – political, social, religious, etc. – which get posted on social media and spread like wildfire!" I invite you to read the first two parts of this series before reading Part III:

"I don't believe it!" Thoughts on Truth and Social Media – Part II
Now I would like to update these with a Part III, with several other sources of doubtful "facts."
There is a whole genre of exposé literature that follows this formula: "I am an ex-[whatever] and I am going to reveal the shocking inside secrets." Ex-Communist. Ex-Mormon. Ex-Satanist. Ex-Catholic priest (Charles Chiniquy, Fifty Years in the Church of Rome, 1885).
Ex-Jesuit (Jack Chick's man, "Alberto," made a whole career with that claim). Ex-nun (Awful Disclosures of Maria Monk, or, The Hidden Secrets of a Nun's Life in a Convent Exposed, 1836). Ex-physicist working for CERN. Ex-CIA operative. Ex-NASA scientist. Ex-Muslim. Ex-Freemason.

Every other day I am a pure mess through and through. Frustrated at the world, at myself, at the complete powerlessness I've been feeling. And while yes I know intellectually I'm taking concrete steps to address what I'm going through, and that technically I am not powerless, y'all dealing with infertility know what I mean when we talk about feeling out of control in trying to start a family. I just knew that I could not let this one RE determine my fate as a hopeful mother.
In 2 weeks, we have our first consult with midsize fancy private fertility clinic. There are four clinics in town, two being individual providers and two having multiple providers. Of the latter two one is a giant university hospital where it feels like a bureaucracy in all the worst ways, and the other is this midsize one that both my ND and LAc have strong partnerships with, but where I've been very nervous about talking to as I was treated so horrendously (ripped a new one by their front desk and nursing staff during our first IUI, where they had promised to do the procedure then reneged the morning of, telling me they didn't have my files even though I'd talked to them the day before, having the balls to tell me I'll just have to 'try again next month' after they lost my appointment, forcing my ND to do it who didn't have a small enough catheter and therefore decided to, let's just say, "spray it in the vicinity of my cervix" as she put it). I don't know if those bitches are gone or were given a good talking to after they got so many bad reviews on Yelp (which they must have had removed), but this time around the person I dealt with was both nice and efficient.
I got a massive email with all the paperwork to get medical records authorizations, etc., and a link to their patient portal where I entered all my history, and I mean super duper thorough. At my consult with my existing RE/clinic? I brought a few of my own lab reports, he didn't ask for any past history/records, and there was no such questionnaire or anything, really. In addition, I checked the new doc out and he's the co-founder of the clinic and while he's not known for his charm, his scores are 9.5-10.0 on the FertilityIQ.com site because, well, if anyone knows his shit, it's this guy.
For the organizational types, you'll like this: I got a little uber-geeked out and created a timeline of my fertility treatments, lab results, protocols, drugs/supplements, etc. – even a colorful graph/chart showing my TSH results history since 2007. Noice! (Hey, if I have to pay $350 for this consult, dammit I want to get the most out of it.).
No word from clinic #2 who has a sole female RE on staff since they emailed a week ago saying they were "looking into it". So there ya go on that one.
It's a weird spot, this limbo after the BFN and before the consult with the new doctor.
I am literally on NO hormones right now. No birth control pills after getting my period after ending the progesterone and estrogen after the 5th fail. The only things I'm taking are my prenatal (bad juju not to) vitamins, thyroid meds, Vitamin C, and fish oil. I have this rare opportunity to enjoy some pure living – me without IVF prep. Me in this holding pattern until it's time to make a decision about what's next…or what's not next.
Lately I've seen a number of blog posts talking about the what-if place that many of us come to after multiple IVF fails, considering what we never wanted to consider – life without children, like this one. And then there's the numerous ones that are all about not forgetting who we are outside of IVF, and celebrating all of the beautiful things we have in our lives and not putting things on hold, including this post and this one as well.
It's so damn hard being 42. Everything else about 42 is great, but for me, I can't seem to find a way to leave limbo. Sure, we're doing things like remodeling our kitchen, but I'm also sitting here in my living room where I have a direct view into the office/dining room area that is half decorated for a little one. Mae Gibbs alphabet art on the walls, two bookshelves my husband made during our pregnancy this summer for the little one's books along with the small jungle of stuffed animals we'd been collecting over the past year and a half. During cycle 5 I insisted on optimism by hanging one solitary baby onesie that we've had for over a year, which says "Li'l Levens" on it. And with our remodel, I've moved in a good 70% of our kitchen stuff in there for storage until our cabinets are built, so I see it all, every damn day.
It all feels so far away. I feel like I'm in quicksand and making no effort to move, just slowly being swallowed up. If I emotionally eat, I get sick. If I drink coffee (which I'd missed so much), I get sick. I don't know where I am or where to find myself.
Test Results
My thyroid pills are almost out and the Legacy lab, who said everything was in when I called, won't release my TSH results (from tests done almost a week ago) over the phone but have not sent them to my doctor or posted them on my account. So I had to ask my doctor to call them and turns out they didn't even run the TSH so they're going to do it tonight and have them tomorrow, grrr…
As for the other tests…
So last year when we started this shitshow called infertility treatments, my FSH was extremely high at 18. Re-testing it shows it has plummeted to 0.4. I first thought it meant I should do a happy dance because it said under 6 is "very good" – but learned from Dr Google that it's actually TOO low and possibly means I'm either no longer ovulating at all, or I am fucked in one of twenty other ways.
My AMH? You think 0.1 is low from last year? Now it's 0.003. Why even fucking measure it, just tell me I'm out of eggs and send me to menopause city.
Ah yes and my thyroid antibodies are six times what they should be, still attacking me from the inside out. No longer 10X, but not in any kind of safe zone for a baby to be secure.
And we have to look at that damn fibroid in my uterus that the doc had said wasn't a big deal because it "wasn't in the implantation area". But y'all it's 2cm. The normal size of a uterus is 7.6cm L x 4.5cm W and is 3cm thick. So a 2cm fibroid would be a sizable chunk even if it's not near the cervix. Tell me that's not a concern. And as a fellow patient of aforementioned RE pointed out, fibroids are stated right on his website as a contributor to infertility. But hell, my RE didn't give a shit that my thyroid was triple the normal levels this spring when I was doing cycle 3 or double when I was doing cycles 4 and 5 and had miscarried.
So um yeah, I've got some purging to do, y'all. Yet my hands are tied til I know on the 9th if the existing frozen embryos will even be able to be transferred. Because if they're not, what do I do? Go back to original RE and transfer those last 2 A's? Will he really do it or change his mind and pick 2 more B's and not tell me? How can I trust a guy who can't take notes about why he chose two embryos and was perfecting willing to send me through 5 rounds of IVF without being at ideal thyroid levels? It's a conundrum that I may have to consider…
A Strange Sense of Relief in Saying Goodbye
So I may be still dealing with myself and my heart but I have retired one attempt at a relationship, for good. For real, I'm relieved to have done it, and handled it like a champ I gotta say.
Well I've not written a ton about it but if you're a diligent reader, you'll know that I tried reconnecting with my mother after my stepfather's death in the spring, after having not had a relationship with her for 6 years. That had happened after some really nasty things she'd said and done, including not supporting me at my first photography show, and for one of the last things she said that said my stepfather, who raised me with her since I was 6, "never liked me".
When he was dying, he had his 7 children from his first marriage and my older half-sister and half-brother visiting him (neither of the latter two even lived with him more than a couple years, while with me I was the one who from the age of six he helped with my homework, taught me how to shoot a gun, loaned me his camera while I honed my photography skills, picked me up from the mall and nightclubs, and was a calming presence for me to talk to after fights with my mother during my teen years…but as soon as I moved out of the house, he stopped being any type of parental figure, like he was just faking it for 12 years) – but I found out he was days from death via an EMAIL from my brother who lives in California AFTER he left town, who claimed he didn't know the address of where my stepfather was in hospice, making it perfectly clear I was in no way welcome in his life or had any meaning to him, even in his last days on earth. Fuck him.
Yet knowing my mother was losing her husband of 35 years, even though it was made pretty damn clear by my father before he died that she'd actually gotten together with him while she was still married to my dad (they all worked in the same office and within a year of my father moving out the man was living with us…and none of us were invited to their wedding not long after that), I had reached out to her, and she'd responded wanting to get together. But as I quickly found out, she only responded to people preening over her. If it was about my life? No interest. No comments. No questions. No curiosity about my business, no interest in our struggle with infertility, and during my miscarriage, no interest in coming over to be with me while my husband was at work while I went through hard contractions and bleeding for 12 straight hours (so my husband ended up leaving work a few hours in to be with me so I wouldn't be alone), no interest in coming to see me afterwards during the worst grief of my life, no mention of it a month later when we drove to her house in the suburbs, and zero acknowledgement of our 5th round of IVF even though she knew the date and anxiety around it. But she was happy to send long messages about herself, her new boyfriend's home and vacations with him (yes, 3.5 months after my stepfather's death she's – in her words – in a new relationship), how healthy her doctor says she is, blah blah fucking blah. Six plus months after I first reached out, she hadn't done anything more than text. At one point she asked 3 weeks after the miscarriage if she could come over and visit MY HUSBAND to wish him happy birthday, and I said he was working but that he'd love to get a birthday card, and rather than do anything, she neither responded nor sent a card. Did I mention she's never made any attempt to get to know him when we have gotten together? Never asked him a question about his life, his family, nothing – even when I told her she needs to show more of an interest in him. And still nothing to me. Over the months I'd shared articles about infertility, about DEIVF, about what to say/not say to those battling, very overt "this is what I need from you" and…nada, zilch, nothing.
I told my husband you know what, I'm too fucking tired to babysit this one sided bullshipt anymore. So I stopped communicating with her, as I knew that over my whole life, whenever I've tried to have a calm, rational, vulnerable heart-to-heart (like I'd done back in '09) about something she's said or done that's hurt my feelings, she'd be incredibly cruel and show zero interest in improving the relationship. After all, this is the person who never told me she was battling breast cancer so when I found out – from my good friend (whose husband was my mother's hairdresser, who I learned years later that my sister was fucking knowing he was not only married but to my friend who was also pregnant at the time) I went to the hospital only to be told "oh gee look who decided to show up" even though she had deliberately not told me she had cancer. And this was also the person who when I was 26 and told her I was engaged, because she wasn't the FIRST person I told (I called my dad first), she not only decided she wasn't coming to our wedding, she stopped talking to us for months, not even a greeting card. And they were the people who, when we lived in California years later, they visited for Thanksgiving but over their 5 days in town, only made it over for dinner then refused any other invitations to spend time together. She also loved to insult people, particularly about their weight, mocking my sister's weight gain after she'd (for the time) stopped drinking, calling my brother's wife a "hippo" and wearing a white dress to their wedding to outshine the bride (yet trying to get me to explain to her this year why my sister-in-law doesn't want her at their house), making fun of my sister's current girlfriend for being butch (then wondering why my sister doesn't want to spend time with her), and my personal favorite, a couple years ago when my sister got back together with her first husband who molested me when I was 10, welcoming him into her house for Christmas dinner (and claiming this year to "not remember" much about that time). Yeah, to put it mildly it was a big step for me at 42 to even contemplate attempting getting to know her, but as I told my husband in my IVF hormone-infused mind at the time, I thought perhaps his death might make her nice. Perhaps she'd go back to the feminist she was in the 1970's rather than the conservative Palin/Beck/O'Reilly-adoring person she had morphed into while being married to a small-minded former NRA chapter president.
Yet being a grown-up (whoa…), I didn't feel comfortable in the concept of "ghosting", as I've always been committed to being upfront with people close to me, relative or friend, if I was feeling hurt about their actions (or lack thereof) and wanted either change or to gently end things. I learned during these past few years that the best action for toxic behaviors towards me is honest, clear, succinct feedback, coming from the heart. And while some claimed to want to have a relationship (yet then flaked so many times I had to just get the picture and move on), others simply turned their backs when I asked for more than it appeared they were willing to give, and one got seriously nasty (after being so rude to my husband that I refused to tolerate her nastiness) and taught me quickly that I'd made the right decision in ending that relationship. And while I've watched a lot of people disappear during this infertility chapter, I've not regretted being completely honest and emotionally vulnerable. I've always asked for what I needed during this time, as I don't believe that it's right to just walk away without the person having the opportunity to do the right thing. And if they choose not to, that's their choice and you are freed from their toxicity.
So when I articulated in writing to my mother (you can't talk to her about anything verbally, she'll cut you off) why I hadn't talked, how much it hurt to have her refuse to come see me or acknowledge my miscarriage or round 5 ivf, and how we need to surround ourselves with those who actively support and show up for us during this, the worst struggle of our lives, I received a (sadly) predictable response. It was filled with "poor me" comments, completely ignoring my miscarriage and 5th IVF round, talking about herself and how I "refuse to accept her for who she is" and that she only has my brother (who lives out of state and who she isn't allowed to stay with), my sister (who rarely sees her as she's told my mother her relationship with her girlfriend is her priority) and me (who…see above) as family. Yet the world revolves around her? The fuck it does. I actually responded rather than ignored, telling her you know what? This is NOT ABOUT HER. I reiterated that my baby died inside my body and said that I told her what I need, and that if she doesn't want to step up and change her behaviors, that's her prerogative but that I can't be party to it.
No response. And you know what? That's fucking fine. I am free. Dammit, I am free. She is in no way my family. I knew it before and allowed myself to experiment, but my hypothesis was correct – she had not changed, she did not want to change, and will go to her grave pitying herself, insulting others in a very Trump-like way, and that'll be that. I had an inkling of this when we were pregnant as she'd said she was going to decorate "the old office" (mind you she never referred to it as my old bedroom) so the baby could "spend the night" and my husband and I said that day "are you fucking kidding me? why would we ever leave our baby with her, a woman who has clearly showed so much contempt for others and zero interest in our infertility treatments?"
I actually exhaled afterwards when I told my husband about this. This crazy experiment is over. Hormone-free, I see very very clearly.
So there's a silver lining y'all. The last bit of toxicity is GONE. Amen for hormone-free living.
Let the sleep commence. The rest will reveal itself sooner or later, right?

Goddess of the Market: Ayn Rand and the American Right
OUP USA, 14 հնվ, 2010 թ. - 380 էջ
Worshipped by her fans, denounced by her enemies, and forever shadowed by controversy and scandal, the novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand was a powerful thinker whose views on government and markets shaped the conservative movement from its earliest days. Drawing on unprecedented access to Rand's private papers and the original, unedited versions of Rand's journals, Jennifer Burns offers a groundbreaking reassessment of this key cultural figure, examining her life, her ideas, and her impact on conservative political thought. Goddess of the Market follows Rand from her childhood in Russia through her meteoric rise from struggling Hollywood screenwriter to bestselling novelist, including the writing of her wildly successful The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. Burns highlights the two facets of Rand's work that make her a perennial draw for those on the right: her promotion of capitalism, and her defense of limited government. Both sprang from her early, bitter experience of life under Communism, and became among the most deeply enduring of her messages, attracting a diverse audience of college students and intellectuals, business people and Republican Party activists, libertarians and conservatives. The book also traces the development of Rand's Objectivist philosophy and her relationship with Nathaniel Branden, her closest intellectual partner, with whom she had an explosive falling out in 1968. This extraordinary book captures the life of the woman who was a tireless champion of capitalism and the freedom of the individual, and whose ideas are still devoured by eager students, debated on blogs, cited by political candidates, and promoted by corporate tycoons.

Knowing the Suffering of Others: Legal Perspectives on Pain and Its MeaningsBy: Austin Sarat (editor)Paperback
Up to 2 WeeksUsually despatched within 2 weeks
DescriptionIn Knowing the Suffering of Others, legal scholar Austin Sarat brings together essays that address suffering as it relates to the law, highlighting the ways law imagines suffering and how pain and suffering become jurisprudential facts. From fetal imaging to end-of-life decisions, torts to international human rights, domestic violence to torture, and the law of war to victim impact statements, the law is awash in epistemological and ethical problems associated with knowing and imagining suffering. In each of these domains we might ask: How well do legal actors perceive and understand suffering in such varied domains of legal life? What problems of representation and interpretation bedevil efforts to grasp the suffering of others? What historical, political, literary, cultural, and/or theological resources can legal actors and citizens draw on to understand the suffering of others? In Knowing the Suffering of Others, Austin Sarat presents legal scholarship that explores these questions and puts the problem of suffering at the centre of thinking about law. The contributors to this volume do not regard pain and suffering as objective facts of a universe remote from law; rather they examine how both are discursively constructed in and by law. They examine how pain and suffering help construct and give meaning to the law as we know it. The authors attend to the various ways suffering appears in law as well as the different forms of suffering that require the law's attention. Throughout this book law is regarded as a domain in which the meanings of pain and suffering are contested, and constituted, as well as an instrument for inflicting suffering or for providing or refusing its relief. It challenges scholars, lawyers, students, and policymakers to ask how various legal actors and audiences understand the suffering of others. Contributors: Montre D. Carodine, Cathy Caruth, Alan L. Durham, Bryan K.Fair, Steven H. Hobbs, Gregory C. Keating, Linda Ross Meyer, Meredith M. Render, Jeannie Suk, John Fabian Witt.

Black Visiting Senior Faculty Scholar at the University of Alabama School of Law.

I made this for our Easter dinner this past Sunday. It was a big hit with everyone including my mother and mother-in-law. I made it according to the recipe except for cooking it in the oven. The family has already decided the Jezebel sauce would be great with fried chicken or poured over a block of cream cheese with crackers. Excellent recipe. It will be made many times in the future.

The ASTC Settlement Rules state that to establish a holder record the controlling participant must transmit a valid message to ASTC that specifies, in addition to other items, the current registration details for a holder in accordance with the standards specified by ASTC.
No complete validation of these details is carried out by CHESS therefore, it is necessary for all new CHESS subregister holding name and address details to be carefully checked by the registry to ensure compliance with the CHESS and SRA standards.
If the registration details of a CHESS subregister holding do not comply with the specified standards it may be appropriate for the registry to complete a "REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION OF REGISTRATION DETAILS" form, or alternatively contact directly the relevant controlling participant and instruct them to modify the registration details.
Refer to Form 3 "REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION OF REGISTRATION DETAILS" and to ASTC Settlement Rules requiring reply from participants within 48 hours.
If changes are agreed, the controlling participant will subsequently transmit details of the change to all companies for which that holder has a current balance.
Registries should follow up all changes requested in this manner to ensure that the holding details are correctly amended.
Issuer Sponsored Subregisters
Transmission of registration details through the CHESS subregister to the Issuer subregistry are not validated by the CHESS subregister. Therefore, it is necessary for all name and address details of new holdings created by participants to be carefully checked by the registry to ensure compliance with CHESS and SRA standards.
Registration of transactions can by processed by both the broker and non-broker participants but with different procedures, as required by the registries, for each type of controlling participant.
(a) Broker Participants
Transfers or conversions of holdings by a broker or non broker participant to an issuer sponsored subregister are transmitted electronically through CHESS to the registry computer system where they are applied to an existing holding if the name and address details are identical and if a valid SRN is quoted.
Some registry computer systems provide for items which cannot be automatically applied to be stored or suspended in a computer "pending" file. This allows the registry to progressively access this file during the day and process these "pending" items before the end of each day.
Items are usually processed by vetting the name and address registration details transmitted through CHESS with the existing holder details. If an existing holder is located with only minor differences, then the entry can be accepted into this holding via a screen instruction. Minor cosmetic changes to registration details advised through CHESS can be effected by the registry when establishing a new holding. When processing these "pending" items each registry should ensure that the name and address registration details comply with both CHESS and SRA standards.
Transactions may be received through CHESS until 7.00pm Sydney time or as otherwise defined in the ASTC Settlement Rules and registries should endeavour to process all transactions received on the same day.
Should a registry fail to process any "pending" items before the end of the day, some registry computer systems will automatically create new holdings for those outstanding. The registry could then be faced with possible duplicate holdings being created or unacceptable registration details being registered.
In the case of a conversion from an issuer sponsored subregister holding to a CHESS subregister holding and a registry fails to process any "pending" items before the end of the day, some registry computer systems will automatically reject back to the originating participant those "pending" conversion requests. e.g. When the registration details do not identically match.
If the registration details of Broker Participant CHESS to Issuer Sponsored subregister transactions do not comply with CHESS and SRA standards the following action should be taken by the registry.
- Despatch a facsimile advice to the CHESS participant notifying them of the unacceptable details and advising the correct details if these can be ascertained. Details of the registry requirements to enable correction of the registration details should also be advised.
- Hold the resultant issuer operated statement or certificate and facsimile to ensure that the required Registration Correction Indemnity - Brokers form is promptly received, which under the ASTC Settlement Rules is within 2 business days.
- Upon receipt of the required Registration Correction Indemnity - Brokers form from the participant, the registry should amend the details on the holding as requested, provided the new details are acceptable.
- Care should be exercised at the time of a "record date" to ensure correction is effected before any corporate actions items are despatched.
Refer to : Form 4 "REGISTRATION CORRECTION INDEMNITY - BROKERS"
(b) Non-Broker Participants
All supporting documentation of Issuer Sponsored or Certificated to CHESS transfers which have been electronically processed through CHESS by Non-Broker Participants must be forwarded to the registry for verification and validation of the securityholder/s authorisation within three business days of the originating transaction message date. The registry should check the transfer details and any certificates (if applicable) to ensure that the transaction is in order.
Refer to : Form 15 "TRANSFER REQUEST FORM"
If the documents are in order the registry can access the details inputed by the non-broker participant and processed through CHESS by entering the CHESS transaction number marked on the relevant documentation.
If the information input is correct and the documents are in order, the acceptance of the transaction is processed via a screen instruction and the details are listed on registry reports for subsequent audit.
Rejected incorrect items should be immediately returned by the registry to the lodging party.
The non-broker participant will receive an electronic rejection message through CHESS for any rejected items.
Any rejection of these non-broker participant issuer sponsored subregister transfers will require a completely new CHESS message to be processed by the participant, if they are to be resubmitted, and each will then have a new CHESS transaction number.
Any message not accepted or rejected within three business days from the date of input will automatically be rejected by the registry computer system without any action from the registry.
Therefore, careful control should be exercised by registries to avoid this situation.
Examples of acceptable name and address registration details are outlined in the section: "Acceptable Registration Details"

I am about as anti walk into the post office as a person can be. I know that it's like listening to a very old broken record, talking about the long lines, closed windows, slow workers, etc. One would think that the years of complaining may have sparked some interest in improving these things. Not a chance.
To compensate for my inordinate disdain for all things postal, I rent a Pitney Bowes postage machine. I bought a scale. In the past, I had an account to Stamps.com so I could print my postage at home. I'm that bad.
Today I began to shake a little as I had no choice but to go to the post office. I needed 100 post card stamps. I could have stood at my postage meter and stamped them one by one but weighed the time factor vs standing in line. I determined that it may take longer to use the meter. So I relented.
The parking lot was not that crowded. I felt optimistic. Then I went in and felt the usual nausea as I saw that there were around ten people in line and two people working at the counter. It may not have been that bad had the people in line not each had piles of boxes to ship. I waited 15 minutes to buy my stamps. While there, I decided it was time for my public service announcement. I am going to share my not so secret shipping and mailing secrets. This is going to help you, the consumer have less aggravation. Believe me.
1) This is only going to work if you have a computer and a printer. You're in like Flynn if you do.
2) Purchase a cheap postage scale. Wal-Mart and Amazon have good ones.
3) Go to www.usps.com. Register for an online account. This will be good for larger envelopes, packages, etc. A little secret is that printing certain postage online is a bit cheaper than if you take it to the post office. Cool.
4) On the website you can request supplies. They're free. Get yourself some flat rate boxes in assorted sizes. Get some clear packing tape. You will need lots of the clear packing tape. Did I mention clear packing tape?
5) If you are internet capable at all, you should be able to follow the instructions. Just remember once you print your shipping labels, you can tape it on the box with your clear packing tape.
6) Open an account at Stamps.com. Once you do that you can order sheets of labels to print your stamps. Any denomination. Any quantity. I always keep a list of postage rates by my scale for easy reference. You can print that at usps.com.
7) If you ship packages, even just rarely, open an account at myups.com. Coolest thing ever. All you need are boxes, a measuring tape, your regular bathroom scale and yes, clear packing tape. You don't have to sign up for daily pick-ups or drop offs so there isn't a fee to have the account. You only pay for what you ship. Now I am not TOTALLY lazy so I will prepare my box and drop it off at any place that ships UPS, like Office Depot for one example. You can schedule a pick up if you don't want to leave your house. That's not cheap, but sometimes it's worth it.
8) You can also order free supplies from UPS. Not boxes but shipping labels and mailing pouches. And if you don't get the mailing pouches make sure you have plenty of clear packing tape.
9) For other ways to ship you can open an account at Fedex who also will supply plenty of mailing boxes, pouches, labels, etc.
When I ship packages through the US postal service I leave a note in the mailbox for the mailman. He actually gets out of his truck and picks up the box or boxes on my doorstep. So to recap, sign up for all these websites, get your scale, and you quite possibly will never have to see the inside of a post office again.
And I don't think they'll notice at the post office, they're usually all on break.
PS - Don't forget the clear packing tape

Today was pompano and Whiting all the way

Today was a great day for fishing, a bit chilly. But that didn't stop the bite. Follow me on FB and You Tube for video content, thank you. Stay Safe this Holiday Season and keep on fishing
Larry doesn't write the report, his daughter does. All the info you are requesting is on his YouTube channel and Facebook page. He's a pro and doesn't mind sharing his secrets. I use all of his techniques and I catch plenty of Pompano, my neighbor doesn't and we fish side by side and he catches one here and there but I occasionally limit out. If you really want to learn, go see him when he's doing a seminar, it's a must for every north Florida surf fisherman. His knowledge in one seminar will change the way you fish the surf. Good luck and get em before they're gone.0

X-Force #79- "Set My Soul On Fire"
I found that I liked X-Force #79 (d'oh I like most of the X-Force issues). The explanation for the Roberto not being Reingfire even though he declared himself so to his freinds is believeable (unlike that whole weird Shatterstar explanation thing). I got a real kick out of seening Skids in action, but I hope they do something more about how her fight with Locus ended up soon (I so hate a long dragging plotline). There was some humor mixed in to the story, which, as usual, I enjoyed. A few things I didn't like though was Pollina's art. I never liked this guy's art really. He does a few panels that really rock, but others tend to look sloppy and careless. In this issue, when the girls of X-Force are hanging upside down he gives them this weird long face effect that looks bad. I was kind of disappointed that the fight with Reignfire didn't end in this issue, but at least it gave me a good enough explanation to satisfy me until the next issue comes out. That's my review of X-Force #79 without many spoilers, in case some of you haven't gotten it yet. If you haven't gotten it I'd recommend you do, because overall I rate X-Force #79 as a good comic, worth the money I paid for it. But again, that's just my opinion.
X-Force #80 Review

Due to xMaGiCx's very disfigured appearence it is argued whether he (or it) comes from another planet. His putrid head has been known to repel a target from up to 200 metres away and can even repel micro organisms.
During the Great Meese Hunt of 1830 TraceR xMaGiCx assisted TraceR Taco in tracking down and killing over 3 Meese. In this great hunt TraceR xMaGiCx was tragically killed when he threw a molotov cocktail at his and TraceR Taco's feet resulting in xMaGiCx rolling and falling off a cliff. He later respawned 20 metres away from the accident scene.
Due to TraceR xMaGiCx's very poor aim in FPS games he is often given an LMG and the role of suppressing the target with a barrage of bullets keeping them pinned down whilst a more professional member of the clan, TraceR Taco or TraceR Anarchy, moves in for the kill.
TraceR xMaGiCx is also known for his expertise in medical practice. In his career as a surgeon xMaGiCx has successfully transplanted 10 hearts, 12 kidneys and 4 brains. He has also performed surgery in the back of a moving ambulance and even in space. It is rumoured that xMaGiCx once managed to brutally murder a guy in just 2.9 seconds. This record has remained undefeated and probably shall for the remainder of time.
TraceR xMaGiCx's favourite foods are Asbestos, Chicken, Moss and likes to drink Fluoroantimonic Acid.
How xMaGiCx came into Existance
For many years it was questioned by people all over the world as to where xMaGiCx came from. There were two common myths. The first being he had spawned in a town well and climbed out to wreak havoc on the inhabitants of the town and other myth being him crashing into earth in the meteorite that hit Earth during the Cretaceous Period. It was said that xMaGiCx had killed all the dinosaurs with his putrid head and the meteorite had no affect on life on Earth. New evidence has however proved these theories wrong. The second myth did however have one fact. Scientists have proven that xMaGiCx was a genetic mutation from Velociraptor faeces. The mutation was fist discovered by a young scientist by the name of Craven Moorhead. Moorhead discovered this by looking at xMaGiCx's skin cells and comparing it to faeces. The mutation is said to have occured in the Faecal Strepotococci bacteria. It is still unknown how the mutation occured and how it can be prevented in the future. TraceR xMaGiCx is directly related to Dinosaur shit.
Jewish Descent
TraceR xMaGiCx is known to be of Jewish descent. TraceR xMaGiCx is actually the reason for all the hatred towards the Jews. Before the birth of TraceR xMaGiCx the Jewish community was respected and powerful. When his face was first seen by the public it caused outrage and mass riots at the horror that had been bestowed upon them.
The Jewish community belive it may have been the Islamics or the Buddhists that cursed them with the demon child.The Jews became the most hated population when they tried to dispose of xMaGiCx immediately after birth by loading 'it' into a catapult and firing it at a Buddhist Town. The Jews were caught, however, and when the Islamic people found out about a plot by the jews to do the same thing to them, they started mass riots. These riots have now escalated to all out war in some countries. The video below shows real combat footage of the Islamic people trying to hold back the Jews
TraceR xMaGiCx's Comedy
TraceR xMaGiCx is often told he is the funniest being in the universe. To stop the universe from exploding it is only allowed to tell at most 1 joke every 2 months. xMaGiCx once attended a stand up comedy event once and the joke that he told was "Whats the deal with faggots? How come you cant throw them in a pile." This joke was so funny, people threw various objects such as tomatoes and cinder blocks at xMaGiCx.
In the past year TraceR xMaGiCx has told 3 jokes.
WARNING: Do not read past here if you can not withstand intense laughter
The 3 jokes that xMaGiCx has told are:
- Chinese Letters
- Wendy Wales
- Wingdings
These jokes are so funny they are quoted very frequently.

"No matter how much you abuse this kid, you wont get him to talk" - Chuck Norris
"He's a f*** face piece of s***. No one even knows why he's still here." - Kristy-is-a-bitch Ellis
"Difficult to understand as he tends to tell people to f*** off. Is there a hidden message behind his aggression?"
- Isabel Speedie

French Southern and Antarctic Lands
Heard Island and McDonald Islands
Micronesia, Federated States of

It is exceptionally callous and a shameful rape on professional ethics for the Nigerian Judiciary to be shielding the Nigerian Army from releasing the abducted leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, who has been in secretive custody since the 14th of September 2017, when his residence was murderously invaded. The Biafran youths all the the world have pointedly issued out a warning to the Nigerian Army to release forthwith, their supreme leader or they will be forced to adopting any extra-judicial action at their disposal, in ensuring that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is rescued from military captivity. It could be recalled that on the 10th of September 2017, the Hausa-Fulani cum Boko Haram infested Nigerian army made a foiled assassination attempt on the life of the IPOB leader in his residence at Afara-ukwu – Ibeku, Umuahia, Abia State, as the resilient Biafran youths barricaded their leader's residential entrance, thereby forcing the soldiers to retreat. On the 11th day of September 2017, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu proactively conducted a press conference, putting the whole world on notice on the siege of the Nigerian army in his residence. He led a team of news men round his compound and showed them quite a number of holes inserted in one of the water tanks in the compound, resulting from barrage of gun shots from the Nigerian army. One of the armless young Biafrans was also wounded in the process.
On that same fateful day of the press conference, the Nigerian Airforce and Army heavily concentrated their surveillance around Afara-ukwu – Ibeku, Umuahia in Abia State, the home town of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, as if in a war zone. On the 14th of September 2014, the vampiric onslaught of the Nigerian state was let loose as it's army gruesomely invaded Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's residence in a commando style with accompanying armored tanks and other military hardwares. Twenty eight (28) Biafrans including a palace cook and a pet dog were instantly killed within the compound in that murderous operation. Some fortunate victims that escaped comprehensively narrated their ordeal. One had it that while the encounter lasted, he heard the rampaging soldiers shouting: "we have captured him, "move", "move", "enter the vehicle". But what could not be fully ascertained is whether the captive was exactly Mazi Nnamdi Kanu or not as everyone was scampering for the safety of his/her life. However, it should be noted that eversince then, the IPOB leader has neither been seen nor his whereabouts known. No sane being will be told, based on this account, that the murderous army of Nigeria can claim innocence of Kanu's abduction or even death after that display of crude, criminal and calculated military invasion of the residence of an armless freedom fighter, who was yet on bail. The Nigerian Judiciary has shamelessly thrown it's professional integrity to the winds by shielding the army from releasing or arraigning Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in the court of law as demanded, for the world to be told the offence committed while on bail, if any.
As time speedily ticks away, the Biafran youths are increasingly tending towards restiveness as their patience wanes. They have unmistakably placed a warning to the Nigerian army to immediately release their leader from captivity or have him forcefully released by all means available. The army should know therefore that the intelligence officers of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), are all over the global community, with the Nigeria Defence Headquarters and even the Presidential Villa in Aso Rock, Abuja, inclusive. The Nigeria government should therefore be prepared to risk avoidable casualties if it ignores this timely warning for the immediate release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from army detention. The teaming and near – restive Biafran youths in their millions could alternatively take laws into their hands to drive home their demand and anybody could be a victim. Let it be made known to the world that it is not in the interest of the Biafran youths to hit any Nigerian barrack in the drive for the rescue of their invaluable leader. But if the authorities concerned treat this warning with levity, the unexpected should then be expected in the nearest possible time. You do not take the patience of a people for granted. The Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Tukur Buratai and Justice Binta Nyako of an Abuja-based Federal High Court should be held responsible for any breakdown of law and order or even deaths/destruction. The peaceful disposition of the Biafran youths should not be mistaken for cowardice.
A word is enough for the wise!

Video | Dolphin Body Slams Paddleboarder
Last week we brought you a video of a couple who got a little too close to killer whales. This week, we bring you a video of an encounter between two standup paddleboarders and group of dolphins. The difference? The dolphin encounter got physical.
Two friends were paddleboarding off Hermosa Beach when they encountered several dolphins swimming and surfing the waves. But this seemly friendly encounter took a dangerous turn when one of the dolphins jumped out of the water and directly into one of the paddlers. Thankfully both mammals came out of this encounter unharmed.
For a more peaceful encounter, check out this video to see what it's like to share a wave with a dolphin.
Looking for a place where it's just you, your SUP and some dolphins? Here are some of our favorite SUP getaways.

If there's one think I know it's that we don't treat ourselves enough, it's always reserved for someones Birthday, or Christmas or any other 'special occasion' where you feel you can justify a bit of self love. Well no more!
If you want a massage book a massage, if you want to go and lie in the sauna do it. The time to hold back is over, I'm not going to lie it's not the cheapest past time BUT it's so worth it. Why not arrange a trip to the Spa with your girls instead of a night out? It'll probably end up cheaper in the long run and you will leave feeling super relaxed. The Blythswood also has a private cinema if a spa is not your thing, grab your girls and grab your popcorn and relax to your favourite movie on the big screen!
The Girls from Abandon Ship Apparel felt we needed some pamper time so last week we arranged an afternoon at the Blythswood. We all ended up going for stress relief/muscle relaxing/deep tissue massages. The consensus was unanimous….they work! We started off the afternoon with a glass of fizz in the Lobby of the Blythswood spa whilst filling out our treatment cards, then we were each collected and taken to our individual treatment rooms. Once you step in you are enveloped by calming music, candle light and a warm relaxing fragrance. The Massage bed is warm and comforting, the masseuse starts on your feet, and works up your body and into your muscles, the oil they use not only smells divine but it will leave your skin incredibly soft. After the massage we were taken to the relaxation room, you can sit and sip water or herbal tea in a fully functioning adjustable bed that is the thing dreams are made of.
The thermal experience was the icing on the cake, we flitted from the sauna to the crystal steam room and then in and out of the Laconium which is my personal favourite! A warm room with tiled beds to sit and cool down after the heat of the sauna and steam rooms? Absolutely perfect. The Hydro pool is one place where you will loose a good hour, go for a proper swim or just relax in the bubbles it's up to you but know this, you will feel so relaxed you'll never want to leave!
We finished up a wonderful afternoon with some high tea and fizz, we got a selection as two of us are veggie and one is allergic to dairy, this way we could have a mix and match and try most things. I can personally recommend the veggie indulgence and the energising and detoxifying plates, both were delicious! I thoroughly recommend an afternoon spent whiling away the hours and being pampered within an inch of your life.
Love, a very relaxed Amanda.
