According to a new federal report compiled by Mathematica Policy Research for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, California ranks second to last in food stamp benefit participation with only half of eligible residents taking advantage of the program. Compare that with an average participation rate of 66 percent nationwide. In an attempt to expand the food stamp program, the USDA is calling on California to simplify its enrollment requirements for food stamp benefits, a move which not-so-secretly benefits the banks which profit off of each food stamp transaction.
Responding to the report, state officials said that the USDA was relying on old data and its survey procedures were skewed to not count beneficiaries of Supplemental Security Income. SSI beneficiaries in California, who also qualify for food stamps, are offered, through a matching state grant, cash assistance for food in lieu of traditional food stamps.
Maricela Rodriguez, speaking for the California Department of Social Services, told the Los Angeles Times that in addition to not counting every food stamp beneficiary, the three-year-old data which the USDA was utilizing for its study doesn't reflect the impact of some of the recent program changes that were made to increase access to benefits.
The expansion of the food stamp market has roused an interestingly framed public debate which promises to intensify in direct proportion to the state's seemingly perpetual budget dilemma. I have some questions for those on both sides: isn't the privatization of the welfare state more intriguing than, well, the size of the supposed welfare state? Does the former condition have an effect on the latter? Let's start talking about who ultimately gains from the USDA's newest proposal to put more JP Morgan EBT cards to use.
About 43 million American families rely on food stamps to put food on the table. JPMorgan Chase is the largest processor of food stamp benefits in the United States. The bank is paid per customer. With a contract to provide food stamp debit cards in 26 states and the District of Columbia, it's no wonder that JPMC is making record breaking profits and handing out record bonuses during an economic depression. Furthermore, JPMC is doing its part to add to U.S. unemployment by outsourcing the servicing of many of these state contracts to India.
Because of stricter standards, it's been hard for JPMC to gain the business it desires in California's welfare industry. First of all, California is one of a handful of states which requires its food stamp beneficiaries to be fingerprinted to cut down on fraud. Second, the golden state stands alone in its requirement for most food stamp recipients to report their income every three months, rather than the six-month term standard in most other states. Assembly member Felipe Fuentes (D-Sylmar) has introduced a bill that would raze both of these stumbling blocks. AB 6 would end the fingerprint requirement and reduce income reporting. While the former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed similar legislation, Gov. Jerry Brown has not indicated whether he would support changes to the food stamp program, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.
The most recent state data available indicates that more than 3.5 million Californians received food stamps in October 2010. This is nearly 46% more than in October 2008. Keep in mind that the number of eligible residents also has increased.

Hurricane Jose seen weakening on Sunday - NHC
- Author: Joanne Flowers Sep 12, 2017,
Sep 12, 2017, 6:43
Irma was projected to retain much of its strength as it headed up the west coast; since it will remain on or close to the coast, it will be able to recharge power from unusually warm waters in the Gulf.
With Hurricane Irma making its way towards South Florida, properties in the area have been evacuated, and that includes Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.
Storm surge is an "abnormal rise of water generated by a storm, over and above the predicted astronomical tides", according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The Category 5 storm had maximum sustained wind speeds of 160mph on Saturday, according to the US National Hurricane Centre. It's possible that Irma will be the worst storm to ever hit the Keys. Winds were so intense they reportedly damaged the gauge used to measure them.
The power outages are expected to increase as the storm edges further north. "So it's going to take a while". Still a large hurricane, its tropical storm force winds extend out 415 miles, despite weakening a bit more to 100 mph.
More than 1,100 police, military officials and others were deployed to St Martin and the nearby French Caribbean territory of St Barts, where they used helicopters to identify the cars of people looting stores and homes.
Hurricane Irma has hit Florida as a Category 4 storm after causing major destruction in Cuba.
McMaster considered ordering a mandatory evacuation through the end of the week but relented late Friday, saying he would only require barrier islands in Colleton, Beaufort and Jasper counties to clear out.
Tornadoes may also form Saturday and Sunday over the southern part of Florida, forecasters said.
Monroe County Administrator Roman Gastesi says relief will arrive on a C-130 military plane Monday morning at the Key West International Airport. So, too, are the possibility of quick spin-up tornadoes. "Florida residents can expect widespread wind damage with long term power loss and localized flooding with 5-10" of rain (up to 20" in spots) along with the threat for weak, isolated tornadoes.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office said the "situation could deteriorate significantly" and its "ability to provide assistance may be extremely limited".

Brief Synopsis
During the year 1936 as civil war is beginning to brew in Spain, teenagers Ricardo Fernandez and Jorge Aquirre have come to idolize the poet Federico Garcia Lorca. They attend the premiere of his play "Yerma" and actually go back stage to meet the man. Soon after their meeting, Lorca is arrested by the fascists and subsequently disappears. Fifteen years after the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, Ricardo returns to his native Granada as an established journalist to ponder what really happened to the famed, murdered Spanish poet. Knowing that he will never be able to find peace until he finds Lorca''s killer, Ricardo returns to Franco''s Spain, a country still rife with enemies of the poet and dangers waiting for one who would discover the murderer.

Why Private Interests Are Dangerous for Public Television
By Michael Lumpkin, Executive Director of the International Documentary Association
For decades both documentary filmmakers and lovers of the documentary art form have relied on the Public Broadcasting Service to provide a forum where the best nonfiction work can reach the audience it deserves. PBS has become our nation's electronic commonsa space relatively free of commerce and commercialism, where diverse American voices can be heard over the for-profit media's roar.
But despite its vital role in our cultural life, PBS has always had the same perennial problem: how to pay the bills. Public funding was supposed to keep it independent, impartial and commercial free. But Congress has cut that funding again and again. Pledge breaks and tote bags can only carry a station so far. So a big donation from a major philanthropist can seem like a lifeline. The question becomes, does the lifeline come with strings?
In a recent New Yorker article, Jane Mayer lays out the case that when it comes to donations from conservative billionaire philanthropist David Koch, the answer is yes. Mayer reveals Koch's role on the boards of the PBS network's two flagship stations: WGBH-Boston and Thirteen/WNET-New York. She also takes a hard look at WNET President Neal Shapiro's efforts to placate Koch when a documentary critical of the Koch family, Alex Gibney's Park Avenue: Money, Power and the American Dream, aired on the PBS/Independent Television Service (ITVS) series, Independent Lens.
According to Mayer, Shapiro threatened to ban Independent Lens from the WNET schedulea move that could be fatal to ITVS, given that New York is the largest media market in the country. He also rewrote the films introduction and staged a round table discussion after it aired to soften its impact. But despite Shapiros efforts, Koch eventually resigned from the WNET boarda move his critics applauded but which cost the station a promised seven-figure donation to its capital campaign.
Theres little doubt that filmmakers and fans of documentaries and PBS should be troubled by these revelations. Mayer makes a convincing case that at best Shapiro violated PBSs vital commitment to shielding the creative and editorial processes from political pressure or improper influence from funders or other sources.
Mayer also reports that Shapiros flare-up may have had an impact on a second film project as well: Carl Deal and Tia Lessin's upcoming Citizen Koch, a fiscally sponsored project of the IDA, and a recipient of a grant from IDA's Pare Lorentz Documentary Fund. An uncompromising look at the impact of the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision unleashing unlimited corporate money into politics, Citizen Koch focuses in part on the roles played by David Koch and his brother Charles in underwriting conservative causes and politicians.
Deal and Lessin told Mayer they submitted written and video proposals for the project, then called Citizen Corp, to ITVS and received a positive response. The filmmakers and ITVS entered negotiations for a license to broadcast the film on PBS. But five months after Gibney's Park Avenue aired, the negotiations ended without a contract.
According to an ITVS statement released today, it had "initially recommended the film Citizen Corp for production licensing based on a written proposal. Early cuts of the film, including the Sundance version, did not reflect the proposal, however, and ITVS eventually withdrew its offer of a production agreement to acquire public television exhibition rights."
Deal and Lessin are certain that fear of Koch was to blame. "This wasnt a failed negotiation or a divergence of visions; it was censorship, pure and simple," they insist. "Its the very thing our film is aboutpublic servants bowing to pressures, direct or indirect, from high-dollar donors.
"After much thought, we decided to go public with our experience hoping that, like the film itself, it will spark conversation about how power wielded by high-dollar political donors like Charles and David Koch distorts the public dialogue."
This is the real lesson in Mayer's exposé. That PBS, our invaluable electronic commons, is under siege from interests devoted to profit and power, whose brand of philanthropy is defined not so much by altruism but by control. As long as it remains underfunded by Congress, PBS will be susceptible to pressures from wealthy activists like Koch.
Fortunately, there are two things we can do right now to start turning things around.
First, those who create content for PBS, and those who support them, must come together to develop strategies and tactics to deal with similar situations in the future, and to make sure that we continue to hold PBS to its own high standards.
Second, we need to free PBS and its affiliates from dependence on private donors by doing everything we can to ensure they get the full public funding necessary.
Only a combination of revitalized public funding and strict adherence to existing PBS standards for private donations will prevent conflicts of interest such as the ones that swirled around Koch and WNET. Only then will PBS be preserved as the diverse, impartial and commercial-free forum it has been for decades, and can continue to be for decades to comeif we commit ourselves to keeping it alive.
So call your congressperson, call your senator, call the President, and tell them to fund PBS. And support filmmaker advocacy by becoming a member of IDA.

The Owls Are Not What They Seem

In Rogers Park, Chicago, two Peregrine Falcons forced their prey, a Great Horned Owl, to take shelter in an unlikely place: Lake Michigan.
In a video captured by peasant1, the owl makes his escape by seemingly doing the breast stroke. He isn't getting away at a huge rate, but he at least is keeping the Falcons at bay which, if you've been paying any attention to the NFL, is fairly easy to do.

Save A Life, Get Home Safe, Support Wyoming Safe Ride Program
Most people love to party but when alcohol is involved it can lead to people driving while impaired. That can lead to anything from a ticket, jail, lawyers, court, DUI classes, fines, higher insurance rates, loss of license and a cost that starts at about $10,000. If someone is hurt or killed things can go south fast.
It's a lot simpler to avoid driving under the influence in the first place with a designated driver, a cab or Laramie County Liquor Association's Safe Ride Program. Wyoming Safe Ride provides a free ride home to patrons who recognize that they cannot safely drive home after imbibing.
Since it's beginning, Laramie County DUIs are down 33 percent, according to the local organizer. We don't know the number of lives saved, but you can bet a few and significant damage avoided as well.
Bryan "Alf" Grzegorczyk, owner of Alf's Pub, a member of the Laramie County Liquor Association has organized a fundraiser lunch of brisket, potato, salad, corn, and a roll, to support the program.
It will be at Jackson's Sports Grill 1121 Old Town Lane, on Friday, June 10 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.. They also have a silent auction that will close at 2 p.m.
100% of the proceeds go to Wyoming Safe Ride.
If you would like to support, see you at Jackson's on Friday. If you need a ride nights or weekends call TI Shuttle at 307- 778-4066 or Cowboy Shuttle at 307- 638-2468 for safe ride home.

'The Sleeping Doll' is the first novel in Jeffery Deaver's Katherine Dance series. Katherine Dance is a Special Agent with the California Bureau of Investigation and an expert in kinesics, the science of interpreting behaviour.
Daniel Pell has been in prison for murder for many years. He was dubbed 'Son of Manson' because he set up a 'family' of young women who he controlled and sent out to steal to support the family. He was caught after murdering a family, all except a young girl who was in bed at the time – known as the Sleeping Doll. New evidence has recently come to light implicating Pell in another murder and Dance is excited at the opportunity to interview him.
But things go terribly wrong. The interview is set to take place at the couthouse rather than the prison and Pell is able to escape, killing several law enforcement officers in the process. This places Katherine Dance in charge of her first manhunt.
She trawls through Pell's past to try to determine what he will do. She reunites three women who were members of Pell's family and tracks down the now teenage Sleeping Doll so that she can find out more about Pell.
As leads come in she finds herself one step behind Pell several times until at last their paths dramatically converge.
I enjoyed the plot of this book but found the early stages incredibly difficult to read. The descriptions of Dance's interview techniques were overdone and tedious. Once we got past that the story was finally able to move on with the tedium only occasionally revisited.
The characters in the story were excellent. I particularly loved Katherine Dance around who the book revolved and look forward to finding out more about her in future novels.
This is the first Jeffery Deaver novel that I've read. My plan is to read the Katherine Dance series and I hope that there is not too much over explaining in the next one – 'Roadside Crosses'.

Deck13 Reveal Details on New Sci-Fi Project 'The Surge'
The developers of Lords of the Fallen gave Gamescom a closer look at their upcoming project. Being compared to games like Dead Space and films like Elysium, Deck13 is moving away from the fantasy-setting to deliver a sci-fi RPG experience with The Surge. Lords of the Fallen is well-known for its similarities to the Dark Souls franchise, so with The Surge, the company seems eager to create an entity more unique to their own.
The game is set far into the future where technology has both advanced tremendously and also brought upon the collapse of modern society. Players will take on the role of an everyday citizen who, outfitted with a reinforced exoskeleton, must scavenge for upgrades through the harvesting of cybernetic enemies' limbs. Sounds quite a bit like Dead Space, though considerably less horror-themed. However the developers do still seem determined to bring a more unique flair to their project this time around. The game is currently set to release sometime in 2017 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC so we'll just have to wait and see if they succeed.

In 2017 many private and public investors developed The Cameroon Cataract Development Impact Loan to provide funding to restore rural sub-Saharan African and Asian citizens with cataract surgery to restore their eyesight. The organization Sightsavers led this campaign through the use of social impact bonds.
The loan bonds have been used in the United States and the United Kingdom. The loans are designed to help create a new eye hospital through renowned eye institutes like the African Eye Foundation. The hospital will provide cataract surgeries and train eye health professionals.
"When they came and told us we could be helped I was happy and I feel my prayers have been answered today". Last year, Ayishetu and her sister Barikisu were operated for blinding trachoma, which has now been eliminated in Ghana. 📷 Ruth McDowall #endtrachoma #beatNTDs #nomorentds #blindness #sightloss #visionloss #eyes #eyehealth #africa #travelafrica #unlimitedafrica #instastories #westafrica #portraits #portraitphotography
The loan was set-up to be paid back in around five years or less with all investors being paid with a nice return based on how well the new hospital would meet its targeted surgical outcome. Under the Aid Match program, the UK government would match money donated for specific causes like Sightsavers Million Miracles cataract operations.
Prime Minister May stated that they were able to reach the target in just three years with successful sight saving and restoring cataract operations performed. The Sightsavers campaign was the first non-governmental organization selected for this campaign.
It was Sightsavers goal to provide a million cataract operations in Africa and Asia and this feat was accomplished with many sight-restoring miracle stories from individuals and their families. At a recent reception with Prime Minister Theresa May as the guest speaker, the Sightsaver organization was singled out as an honoree for their cataract surgical work in Africa and Asia.
The Sightsavers CEO, Dr. Carolina Harper and other international organizations under the banner of the Department for International Development's Aid Match program were acknowledged. The Prime Minister spoke about the work and funding that Aid Match has accomplished for initiatives in 20 countries including the many successful cataract surgery procedures in Africa.
UK Prime Minister, Theresa May, praised the impact of the Sightsavers' Million Miracles campaign which enabled the investors and health organizations to reach their three-year target sooner than expected and to give people a new vision on life. Dr Harper from Sightsavers stated that the main cause of blindness around the world are cataracts which can be cured with an operation. Aid Match enabled the organization to help millions of individuals from the continents of Africa and Asia.
Dr. Harper said that even though Sightsavers is joyous about hitting the surgical target, there is still many millions more who need this life changing operation and so there is still more work to do.

It's not everyday that you'll see me in a bright, busy patterned dress. I am usually pretty hesitant about buying things that are not incredibly versatile as I find that it makes my closet feel small/limited. However, when Lindsay's sister let me borrow this new dress of hers to shoot, I realized I need to be more open to some of my purchases.
This, for example, is a dress I probably would have never picked out on my own (if we're being honest). It's like growing up when your mom would tell you to try something you didn't like on the hanger and ended up loving it once you have it on in the dressing room. I'm so glad Hollin encouraged me to wear this for a quick shoot because I honestly think it's one of my favorites from this summer.
In hindsight it would have been better for me to wear it with flats, as the wedges made it a little short on me but in general I usually have to buy tall dresses because of my height. So don't let the shortness of this fool you -- it is a normal length. Not to mention really pretty, soft (silk), and super easy to just throw on.

Vietnam is growing as a tourist destination, but is still years behind the over-commercialisation of places like Thailand.Nha Trang is the diving capital of Vietnam and is probably the busiest and most developed seaside city. There are many local divecentres here run by Cowboys! Choose your dive operator by looking for the highest SSI OR PADI accolades: a ITC Oceans 5 , IDC Rainbow or Sailing Club Divers a 5 star centre. There are 3 good operators here.Whale Island is a remote and exclusive 'desert island' just north on Nha Trang. Accom is in bamboo bungalows on the beach. Very basic, but pure escapism! Just 1 excellent dive operator resident on the Island (PADI 5 star & National Geographic centre!)Hoi An is a beautiful French style Colonial city which offers some excellent diving. 1 local operator there should be avoided, but the other 2 are fine. The most outstanding operator is a PADI 5 star & National Geographic Divecentre.Phu Quoc Island is in the Gulf of Thailand, off the Cambodian coastline, but is definately a Vietnamese Island! Diving here is not spectacular, but safe and easy. Ideal for training. Avoid the local operators; they are simply not safe! Use the PADI 5 star & National Geographic centre.

Face Swap is fun and quirky feature of photo sharing apps and programs, such as Snapchat. While the effects are obviously unreal and are meant just for fun, this technology is being used for a somewhat darker purpose too.
Unscrupulous people are using celebrities' faces and superimposing them onto other women's (it is female stars who are predominantly targeted in these matters) bodies in porn films and VR porn films. While it may seem harmless, perhaps a bit of fun, or an 'easy' way to resolve or fulfil a long-cherished fantasy, it is really not an acceptable thing to do.
This is for several reasons: Movie stars, especially nowadays when trial by social media and public opinion can ruin careers that have taken years and years to build up, have to be exceedingly careful with their public image. Some stars do have porn films out there from their early days, when work was scarce and they needed to eat – but they took part in them willingly, they know that these images are in the public domain and can take PR steps to handle them, and they are unlikely to deny all knowledge of the clips, should they surface.
Whereas movies made by digitally 'stitching' their faces onto other women's bodies can contain upsetting and offensive content, can be out there on the internet for anyone to find without the supposed star even being aware that it exists, and, bluntly, is a massive invasion of the celebrity's privacy.
Having pornographic images and clips in existence can result in the celebrity losing work – denying having been in a film when it seems to exist will earn them a name for not only being less than morally upright, but also being a liar. When the celebrity is starting from a completely innocent and ignorant standpoint, it can be a bewildering, frustrating and anger-inducing time, until all the facts are laid out for understanding – imagine coming to work one day and being fired for 'disgusting behaviour' that no one will spell out to you because what you did was so clearly monstrous that you must be trying it on with your denials… Not a very pleasant thought but exactly the sort of thing that can happen and has happened in the past.
The final point is one of morality. It is all a big, rather nasty con job. The celebrity is never asked for permission for their image to be used in such a way, they are therefore never compensated for it – and a celebrity's image is very much tied up in their value, so using their image without permission or payment is literally theft, exactly the same as breaking into their house and stealing their belongings. It is usually never made clear that the person in the film is NOT actually the celebrity, thereby also tricking the paying public who perhaps pay a higher rate to see their favourite star in sexy action.
All these points add up to make this sort of unscrupulous exploitation seem grubby and pathetic. Celebrities work hard to create their images – they are neither public property, nor objects to be used and discarded at will… Rather, enjoy steamy scenes with porn stars who are there willingly, whether as a classic movie or immersed in the VR action, and let your imagination do the rest!

You couldn't make it up, could you? Much has been written about the "Moor Hall Restaurant with Rooms in Aughton" . But have you ever heard of marks out of 10 for bread and butter anywhere else? I suppose it's to do with it deservedly being awarded a Michelin Star and being Lancashire Life Restaurant of the Year.
Recently described in exotic terms as "offering a slab of roast chicken breast that was moist, cooked to the French point and not massacred by dry heat, the skin was crisp with chickeny fat that had been encouraged to gently seep away. Flavour was left draped over the plump juicy meat like a black silky negligee across the perfect, pale breasts of a Swedish movie actress". It doesn't get much better than that, as you can imagine! Not even in the Derby Arms, just along the road.
A critic wrote of its oasis of calm from the ornate (and original) wood panelled reception hall, to the comfortable bar lounge and the almost futuristic modernity of the dining room and open kitchen. "I've given up worrying about whether this sounds pretentious, but a meal at this level is comparable to some kind of high-brow artistic performance" she wrote, "Think of a beloved piece of classical music with familiar rhythms, magical harmonies, dramatic pauses and loud rousing bits. Every course – each the sum of a dozen or more parts and processes – has been designed as part of the meal as a whole. To isolate them would change the experience, which makes it difficult to extract a favourite course. Some dishes had me utterly flummoxed as to how they were made and others tapped into some kind of personal nostalgia as we reached into our memory for familiar tastes… was that corned beef… and that, erm, Quavers?"
And she wrote about "A parade of courses that stayed with me for days afterwards, I was most taken with one of the desserts: "Honey beer, Bramley apple, aged caramel and marigold" . On a compressed square of layered, sliced apple sat a crispy golden pastry basket (phyllo, brik, ouraka?) filled with what our server described as "apple mead rocks". Wow! So was it good, or was it great? Neither. It was genius".
"One particular dish, the aged beef in charcoal , is a thing of great beauty with clear, definitive flavours, all of which are deeply, madly, ridiculously in love with each other. Masterful. Four surprise starters: black pudding with pickled apple; smoked curd with potato, fermented garlic and flowers; raw mackerel with radish, purslane and nasturtium; and, finally, oyster with cured ham, dill and buttermilk. All four, one after another, took us completely by surprise. They were a huge statement and one after another scored ten out of ten. Each had a point of difference, each had one clear, bright burst of flavour, a mini super-nova surrounded by a genius, but not jostling, cast of supporting flavours and textures.
A special mention is required for a ginger ice cream affair of such gingery, spicy, creamy, deep flavour. Chef Birchall has built a dedicated cheese room, where you go and select your cheese. The result is an entirely British cheese course – a remarkable thing. Our cheese has now come of age and, curated properly, beats France easy.
But can you afford it? "The wine here is very accessible as regards price point and has enjoyed a good deal of time spent on it by a few knowledgeable individuals. The difficulty with a list of dishes like these is to match a bottle to it. Some places also take the piss when it comes to value. But here, a very good riesling as a starter glass at £8 up to £32 a bottle.Here a fabulous bottle of a classic light premier cru red Burgundy did the job". Red wine starts at £7 a glass up to £49 a glass for Pinot Noir. "Our wine philosophy is simple, we want it to be fun, interactive, enjoyable and within reach of everyone. The sommelier team will be happy to talk through our wine pairing's or to assist you in finding the right wine for your occasion. Our guests are welcome to bring their own wine that is not represented on our wine list; however there will be a corkage charge of £30 for still wines and £50 for sparkling wines". No wonder there are 28 pages on the wine list!
At £95 for the eight course menu, it's not cheap. But you don't have to do the marathon because there are two other menus, one at £35 and another at £65. Though if you do go big, it's recommended you put aside four hours! All scored reviews are unannounced, impartial, paid for by Confidential and completely independent of any commercial relationship. Venues are rated against the best examples of their type: 1-5: saw your leg off and eat it, 6-9: Netflix and chill, 10-11: if you're passing, 12-13: good, 14-15: very good, 16-17: excellent, 18-19: pure class, 20: cooked by God him/herself)
• Food 9.5/10
Black Pudding 10, Curd 10, Mackerel 10, Oyster 10, Carrots 9, Crab and Asparagus 10, Beef 10, Scallop 10, Brill 10, Chicken 9, Lamb 10, Rhubarb 9, Ginger 10, Honey Beer 10, Bread and Butter 10, Cheese 10 (we're afraid our tech doesn't allow for quarter marks, or else the food would have scored a near perfect 9.75)
• Ambience 5/5 An oasis of refined calm
• Service 5/5 Outstanding
Wonder if they do a OAP lunch based on the state pension affordability test, because I can't wait to taste it!

Update from John
November 2, 2008 -
News From Steph
Hello Everyone,
You're probably wondering what's happening so let me tell you, unfortunately, due to the massive turnout of approx. 7000 people the Philadelphia police force decided it was not safe to break open the pinata. Their concerns were the huge crowd of people swarming towards the pinata to scoop up the free candy. Therefore the police decided to dispurse the crowd and told everyone to leave. This was not exactly what we had hoped for. We are now looking to break open the pinata later today or tomorrow. I would like to send my apologies specifically to all the bloggers who drove from as far as Tennessee, Michigan and beyond. I would also like to say sorry to all of you waiting to see this event online.
Safety as onboard is our primary concern and with this in mind we compiled with the police request. So right now I'm heading for a ride in a helicopter to shoot my part in the commercial. There will be an update from me later this evening.
Thanks for your patience and thank you for your time.

How A PPI Claim Letter Template Can Speed Up The Process
If you're considering handling your PPI claim refund yourself, it's handy to make use of a PPI Claim letter template. These templates are made by PPI claim experts and contain all the necessary information to get your claim rolling. Because you are handling the claim yourself, it's imperative that you include all of the required information that the banks and lenders need to begin processing your claim. If you fail to provide enough relevant information, they will deny your request and simply send you back your form. This can cause delays in receiving your refund and make the whole process harder to deal with.
By using a template, you will be able to go through the letter and fill in all of the relevant information. The whole process is extremely simple to follow and you'll have your claim ready to send off within an hour. As mentioned before, these letters are written by experts in the industry and they are written to specifically yield higher results. It's always best to use a template that you have gotten from a reputable website or business, such as Money Expert or Compare The Market. These websites are consumer focused and give unbiased information. They are not trying to make a profit, but instead help consumers to make the correct educated choices.
Once the banks and/or lenders receive your letter, they will typically begin processing your refund immediately. They will have seen the same letter multiple times before and know that it qualifies for a refund. They have no grounds to argue on because you have provided the required information they need. So, instead of being ignored and having your time wasted, you'll notice that you receive your refund within a matter of days or weeks.

Eric Walters.
Grades 6 - 9 / Ages 11 - 14.
Just over from the fire was a pile of wood, cut up into fire-sized pieces.In Stars Eric Walters explores the same territory as he does in his earlier novel for teens Stand Your Ground. In both, he portrays two basically good kids who have been dealt a rough hand in the game of life. Fourteen-year-old Joseph is the street-smart, wise-cracking protagonist of Stars. His father is an abusive alcoholic, his mother deserted them both, and his best friend is Jonnie Campbell, a gangster who encourages Joseph to steal expensive cars.
I took two chunks and tossed them on the fire. Sparks and ashes burst out and floated up into the sky. I watched them drift upward into the heavens.
I shook my head in amazement at all those stars, like little embers that had escaped from earlier fires. I thought of something that the psychologist guy had said to me at the hospital. He said that after a trauma, after coming close to dying, you looked at things through new eyes.
I didn t think I was looking with new eyes, but I knew I was looking at a new world.
Eric Walters has had first-hand experience dealing with troubled teens. He is an elementary school teacher and has also worked as a family therapist and a social worker.
While Joseph is in the hospital recovering from injuries sustained in a high speed car chase, he meets Gord, a kindly and dedicated social worker who recruits him for a program called Stars (Striving Through Adventure to Develop Responsibility and Success). Together, with a group of boys facing similar problems, Joseph reluctantly joins the Stars program, where he learns about the wilderness, about survival and about himself.
This is a conventional novel about a teen coping with problems. Joseph is an appealing narrator; sensitive and quick-witted, but his rehabilitation is formulaic. His cynicism and hard edges gradually and predictably give way as he confronts and overcomes the challenges of the landscape, and learns to rely on others. Another detractor is the under-developed cast of supporting characters. Joseph's father is inexorably bad. Gord, Stan, and Maureen are uncompromisingly good - their prime motivation seems only to be the rehabilitation of their young charges. The other boys in the group, with the exception of Kevin, are not fully drawn. We don't discover much about their backgrounds, or what will happen to them after their six weeks in the bush.
Surprisingly, the sometimes weak characterization does not inhibit the fast-paced and exhilarating plot. When it relinquishes its didactic tone, Stars is a well-written and appealing adventure story.

At one point we were a little bit knocked out, because we didn't know how to manage this team. Fortunately, Ngapeth did a great match and he brought the team back to this victory. Now we're proud to be here, in Brazil playing against the host team at a World League final, and it will be a big challenge for us. They're the best team in the world so we want to compete, to see where we are."Benjamin Toniutti, France captain: "We did very well on staying on the game after losing the second set. Canada play some really good volleyball, so we prepared the match really well and we were ready to fight. We had a lot of energy today and now we are looking forward to this final match against Brazil. I think it's the final everyone wanted to see before this Final Round. Both teams fought a lot to reach this stage and we will do everything to take the gold medal."Quick links - Volleyball:Match Centre - France v CanadaFIVB Volleyball World League 2017FIVB Volleyball World League 2017 - ScheduleFIVB Volleyball World League 2017 - TeamsFIVB Volleyball World League 2017 - Media GuideFIVB.com - VolleyballFIVB.comLatest VideosFacebookTwitterInstagramMedia GuidesJohn Gordon Perrin, Canada captain: "They played a really good game on defence, but we expected that. They are really strong on that and mostly when we play them we get a little frustrated, because we can attack strong and well and they still defend us, and then they're very good in transition so that's where they won the game. Now we will approach the bronze medal game as any other - obviously it will be exciting for us if we can win a medal and to play against our rivals USA, so for sure it'll be a fun match."Stéphane Antiga, Canada coach: "France of course is one of the favourites here and we played a pretty good game against them. We could have been better on spiking, but anyway we have a good feeling about it as they're better than us. I'm pretty sure we can play better and better to one day beat a strong team like France - we have already improved since the beginning of the World League. We have grown on all elements, we have good organisation on the court and I'm very satisfied for the behavior of the guys. It was already a success to be in this Final Round but we still want to keep on winning. Tomorrow, I'm confident on our chances and hopefully we can give Canada their first-ever World League medal."

FOX 2006 Fall Season
FOX Fall 2006 Grid
Fall 2006
January 2007 to May 2007
New Show Descriptions
"Justice" (Wednesdays at 8 PM; moves to Wednesdays at 7 PM in January)
Premise: (From FOX's press release) The show features a dream team of four lawyers from disparate backgrounds who join forces to tackle the most controversial and newsworthy cases. With their unique skill sets and the power of forensic law, this formidable team becomes indispensable to the law firm of
Turk, Nicholson, Tuller & Gaines. Ron Turk (Victor Garber) is the face seen on every media talk show in the country...and he wants it that way. He's great at landing a client, spinning a case, and getting his way, but juries hate him. Standing behind Ron...as far away from the cameras as possible...is Tom Nicholson (Kerr Smith), the heart of the firm. Tom is a
brilliant litigator whose Everyman, earnest manner makes him Ron's alter ego. Luther Gaines (Eamonn Walker), famous in the African-American community, is well-connected, politically motivated, and in possession of an uncanny ability to take a step back and assess the merits of a case from both the prosecution's and the defense's perspectives. Alden Tuller (Rebecca Mader) is
a young, ambitious, and brilliant clinician who approaches each case analytically, uncovering ways to destroy expert witnesses on cross-examination.
"Standoff" (Tuesdays at 7 PM; moves to Mondays at 7 PM in January)
Premise: (From FOX's press release) There's no crisis situation they can't handle...unless it involves each other. Matt Flannery (Ron Livingston) and Emily Lehman (Rosemarie DeWitt) are the top-ranked negotiators in the FBI's Crisis Negotiation Unit (CNU.) They're trained to talk their way through
volatile situations. They're experts at knowing what makes other people tick. They're also sleeping together, a secret that they agreed to keep to themselves, until Matt reveals it to the entire world during a tense hostage standoff. The public revelation causes friction between Matt, who relies on gut instinct, and Emily, an academic who analyzes every move.
Their relationship also gets them into major trouble with their boss Cheryl Carrera (Gina Torres), head of the Los Angeles CNU, and raises eyebrows among their CNU colleagues, including intelligence officer Lia Mathers (Raquel Alessi.) While Matt and Emily really should be split up for being romantically involved, they're too valuable as a team. The show combines the
relationship banter of audience favorites like "Moonlighting" with the adrenaline-paced suspense of hits like "24." The series advances a fundamental idea: that in life and in love, "Everything is a negotiation."
"Vanished" (Mondays at 8 PM)
Premise: (From FOX's press release) Sara (Joanne Kelly) is the beautiful young wife of prominent Georgia Senator Jeffrey Collins (John Allen Nelson), and she has gone missing, but before the FBI can solve the mystery of where she is, they first need to figure out who she really is. Through the eyes of
Senior FBI Agent Graham Kelton (Gale Harold), ambitious reporter Judy Nash (Rebecca Gayheart) and the distraught members of the Collins family, viewers will journey inside a sensational, mysterious national soap opera. Kelton, working with Agent Lin Mei (Ming-Na), uncovers enigmatic clues that suggest Sara's disappearance may be part of a large, sinister conspiracy. Created
by Josh Berman and directed by executive producer Mimi Leder, the show combines the investigative twists and turns of "C.S.I.: Crime Scene Investigation," the nonstop pace and tension of FOX's "24," and the scope of The Da Vinci Code.
"The Wedding Album" (Fridays at 8 PM, starting in January)
Premise: (From FOX's press release) From executive producers Andy Tennant and Wink Mordaunt comes a series that captures the ups and downs of tying the knot through the eyes of the second-most important man in the room...the wedding photographer. Tony Zutto (Bruno Campos) is the guy everyone wants to
capture their big day, but just because he's working every high-profile ceremony in town doesn't mean he'll be walking down the aisle himself anytime soon. Tony's near-celebrity status on the marriage circuit...combined with his own less-than-stellar family history...has turned him into a serial bachelor and consummate playboy...at least until Tony hires new assistant Milla
Cavendish (Tara Summers), a feisty and alluring young Brit. Unlike the carefree encounters Tony's had with his share of bridesmaids over the years, Milla and her comrades-in-arms, sassy roommate Gretchen (Eva Pigford) and photo lab tech Bruno (Jayce Bartok), will keep Tony on his toes. Also keeping his wild ways in check are Peter (Ptolemy Slocum), Tony's strait-laced
half-brother and a minister to boot; Tony's gregarious father Danny (Tony Lo Bianco), who is always ready to dispense a helping of advice along with the liquor he serves at his neighborhood bar; and Gwen (Ashlie Atkinson), Tony's take-charge office manager. From the tempestuous rehearsal dinners and unorthodox ceremonies to the wild aftermaths and poignant family disasters, this
show proves that things are definitely more interesting when every day at the "office" is the most important day of someone else's life.
"Happy Hour" (Thursdays at 7:30 PM)
Premise: (From FOX's press release) Straight arrow Henry Beckman (John Sloan) had it all: a great job, a perfect girlfriend and a sweet apartment. He was a big fish in the small pond of Amsterdam, Missouri. And then he let Heather (Brooke D'Orsay) talk him into moving to Chicago to work in her
family business, where it all went wrong. In the space of one morning, Henry gets dumped by Heather, learns he can no longer work for Heather's uncle, and gets kicked out of their apartment. It's in this vulnerable state that he meets his new roommate, a vain, flashy, loveable rogue named Larry Cone (Lex Medlin.) Larry is a modern-day Dean Martin who is looking for a
new protégé to teach the wisdom of staying single and enjoying the good life. Larry's last roommate and best friend, Brad (Nat Faxon), has gotten engaged to the shrew Tina (Jamie Denbo), a cold and controlling fiancé who's immune to Larry's considerable charm. Under Larry's tutelage, Henry begins to rebuild his life and goes to work for Larry's childhood friend Amanda (Beth
Lacke), a beautiful mess who's unsuccessfully trying to emulate her perfect ideal of womanhood, Kelly Ripa. Will Henry manage to hold onto his traditional values and remain a hopeless romantic? Or will Larry indeed "build a better Brad"?
"'Til Death" (Thursdays at 7 PM)
Premise: (From FOX's press release) This show is a comedy about middle-aged Eddie (Brad Garrett) and Joy Stamm (Joely Fisher), who are on day 8,743 of their marriage and have the battle scars to prove it. Their new next-door neighbors are young newlyweds Steph (Kat Foster) and Jeff Woodcock (Eddie Kaye
Thomas)...idealistic, passionate, adorable, and married for all of 12 days. It's a show about new marriage versus old marriage, about keeping the romance alive...or at least staying together so you have someone to drive you to the hospital for your operations. Eddie is a cynical realist who considers himself an expert on most topics. A high school history teacher,
he's learned well the lessons of history and applies the basic principles to his marriage: all fights are about power, land, and resources...and women love to kill fun. A veteran of the marriage wars, Eddie freely gives his advice to the younger, idealistic Jeff, who's the new Vice Principal at Eddie's school. Of course, Eddie's little secret all along is that he loves Joy
more than anything. However brash and sardonic Joy herself appears though, she loves Eddie right back.
Reality Shows:
"Celebrity Duets" (Thursdays at 8 PM in the "O.C." timeslot; ending before the World Series begins)
Premise: (From FOX's press release) This show, from Simon Cowell, pairs established singing stars with celebrities outside the music industry to make beautiful music together by competing as duos for charity. The show will follow the professional singers as they instruct their partners, choose songs, and
perform duets in front of a panel of judges and a live studio audience. After each episode, viewers will vote for their favorite duets. The winning pair will emerge from the competition in perfect harmony, while the losers definitely will have to change their tune.
Midseason Shows:
"The Winner" (Comedy)
Premise: (From FOX's press release) A 43-and-a-half-year-old narrator, who is incredibly rich and successful, looks way back to 1994, when he lost his innocence and started to become a man...at the tender age of 32. In 1994, Glen Abbott (Rob Corddry), still living with his parents, finally steps out into
the world and tries to make something of himself when the only girl he'd ever kissed, the radiant Alison Miller (Erinn Hayes), returns to town. Driven by the desire to become a success and win Alison's heart, Glen goes through his "wonder years" a mere 20 years older than, well, most everyone. But it's not in vain, as this unlikely underdog will eventually transform from
fear-riddled underachiever to the richest man in Buffalo in a mere five years. Luckily, Glen doesn't have to go though this awkward period alone. He becomes best friends with the only person he can truly relate to: Alison's 13-year-old son Josh (Keir Gilchrist.) Josh is a fellow hypochondriac, and they help each other survive "puberty." Glen also receives
parental guidance from his absurdly enabling mother Irene (Julie Hagerty) and his supportive but quasi-rage-aholic dad Ron (Lenny Clarke.)
"On the Lot" (Reality)
Premise: (From FOX's press release) Aspiring director/filmmakers from across the country will vie for the opportunity of a lifetime when Mark Burnett, Steven Spielberg, DreamWorks Television, and FOX join forces on this exciting new unscripted series. Ultimately, one filmmaker will rise above the rest and
will be rewarded with a studio development deal, "on the lot" at DreamWorks. A group of 16 undiscovered talents will be brought to Hollywood and divided into several teams. Every week, each team will produce a short film in an assigned genre, running the gamut from comedies to thrillers, personal dramas to romance, sci-fi to horror. With one member selected as the
director and other members helping produce, they'll have access to the best resources the industry has to offer. But with the clock ticking, and other teams working with the same genre or premise, they'll all need to match their vision with decisiveness, execution, and flexibility. The competition will air on two nights weekly. The films will be shown and critiqued in
front of a live audience during the one-hour "Film Premiere" episode. The judging panel will include a motion picture executive, a film critic and well-respected guest judges. But the filmmakers also will be subjected to perhaps the harshest judge of all the public. It will be FOX viewers whose votes ultimately determine which film should be left on the cutting room
floor. On the half-hour "Box Office" results show, the director of the losing feature will be sent home, leaving that team with fewer contestants to help produce the next week's film. As the competition continues and more directors are eliminated, the remaining filmmakers will have to work individually, creating a new film every week until only the most talented individual
is anointed the winner, whisked away to the DreamWorks studio, met by Steven Spielberg and shown to his or her new office "on the lot."

Waves of up to 14 metres in height are being predicted for the west coast this weekend.
They would be the highest experienced for a number of years.
The Marine Institute and Met Éireann have issued a warning to all ships, fishing vessels and anyone close to the shoreline to take great care, particularly tomorrow afternoon.
Computer-generated wave forecasts, using information picked up on the Marine Weather Buoy Network, show that waves with a significant height of up to 14m, about 45 feet, could occur in the seas to the west of Ireland.
Previously the biggest waves recorded by the Marine Institute's data buoys were at the M1 Buoy to the west of Galway Bay on 17 January 2005, waves of 13.4m or about 40 feet.
The Institute and Met Éireann say that similar conditions could occur this weekend if weather systems develop as predicted and create conditions potentially hazardous to all marine users.
When a broad area of very low pressure sits in the Atlantic north of Ireland, as is expected to happen today and tomorrow, waves are able to build over a considerable distance.

In one of my pots is a plant growing, which I couldn't figure out what it is. After some research and asking someone online, I finally got my answer: It is a Velvet Leaf. I have seen these plants sitting in corn fields before. So I wonder if the wind or a critter had a part in it, that a seed ended up in my pot. I probably will never know.
Velvet Leaf is native to South Asia. In China, it is grown for is jute-like fiber. The leaves are used for cooking. And the seeds can be consumed as well. In the 18th century, it was introduced to North America. Since Velvet Leaf likes rich soils, it can be mostly found in crop fields. The Velvet Leaf became very invasive, and is one of the most detrimental weeds to corn causing decreases. So, what's good on one continent might be not so great on another. I guess, I have to take care of the seed pods, before the seeds will drop and causing a stink in the long run. 😉
