Ideas / FictionalCelebrities
Personal and fictional celebrity
Fictional characters become celebrities. People themselves become celebrities. Celebrity is in the judgement of the audience. Fictional and personal celebrities compete with each other for celebrity. Fictional celebrities clearly have a lot more room to be inventive, and a lot more capacity for change. Perhaps this is a big strain on personal celebrities. Perhaps this reshapes the face of personal celebrity.

Sixto David Fernandez
Sixto David Fernandez is the owner of an auto repair shop, in the [[Dominican Republic], and a friend of baseball player David Ortiz.[1][2] On June 19, 2019, Dominican Republic investigators asserted they suspected that the shooter who wounded Ortiz really intended to shoot Fernandez.
Fernandez was a regular at the Dial Bar and Lounge, in Santo Domingo, where the shooting occurred, and Ortiz was dressed similarly to Fernandez.[2] A third friend, Jhoel Lopez, was injured by a bullet after it transitted Ortiz's body.[1] Fernandez was unhurt.
Victor Hugo Gómez Vasquez of the Gulf Cartel is suspected of being the mastermind of the shooting.[3] Officials said they suspected he had offered the shooters $8,000 for shooting Fernandez. The New York Post reported that authorities speculate that Gomez may have suspected Fernandez had been informing on him, to the American Drug Enforcement Agency.[1]
Fernandez has denied any involvement in, or knowledge of, the drug trade.[1]
The alleged triggerman, Rolfi Ferreira Cruz, and ten other suspects, were arrested.[1] Gomez, and two other men suspected in playing a role in the hit, Luis Alfredo Rivas Clase, Alberto Miguel Rodriguez Mota, remain at large.

Aitken College prides itself on establishing an environment in which students are able to reach their full potential, expanding their skills and intellect while developing self-esteem and confidence. Guided by a diverse and imaginative curriculum, students are encouraged to use their expanding knowledge as a basis for investigation, problem solving, critical thinking and creativity. The College encourages participation in a wide range of learning experiences through the provision of appropriate extension material and open-ended activities, moving beyond the constraints imposed by the year level structure. To supplement the students' learning, Aitken College employs the best technological facilities to make teaching students more fun and engaging.
The College approached the team at DIB with the upgrading of their learning centre's AV systems. This primarily involved the installation of new interactive projectors, which are perfect for the classroom environment.
Installation process
For this project, an EPSON EB-1450Ui Meeting Mate 'Finger Touch' interactive projector was installed in five of the classrooms in the learning centre. These multi-purpose interactive projectors add another level of excitement to lessons. With whiteboard function (which allows users to save, print or email notes from the lesson) and dual pen interactivity, the projector is captivating, allowing students to be more hands-on, and thus be more engaged, in class.
Coupled with full HD capabilities, the projector's 3,800 lumens of brightness allows for any presentations and displays to be vibrant and eye-catching, further catching the attention of students in class.
The speaker system was also updated by installing an EPSON 30 watt external powered speaker system. These speakers allow for clear and unobscured audio by reducing buzzes and noise. This speaker system also features a separate auxiliary input which may be used for direct iPod or audio MP3 device connection.
The projector also comes with a bundled control pad that allows for better functionality. The control pad is neatly designed, allowing for efficient and intuitive operation of the projector. Further, a Joey Micro 6 wall control panel was installed in each classroom. These wall panels get rid of the need for complex and easily lost remote controls and combine all their functionality in one place. The panels are typically set up to include buttons that turn the system on and off, control the volume and source selection.
The projector has a variety of ways through which users can connect their external devices. The wireless connectivity of the projector means that users can monitor, control and present from a remote locations should they choose to do so. The projector also has HDMI and USB inputs for more local connectivity, and a separate USB input specifically used for saving content from the projector onto a USB.

Matthew Williamson
Matt is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Graduate Group in Ecology at the University of California, Davis where his research focuses on mapping new opportunities for conservation. His work uses spatially explicit information on the social, institutional, and environmental conditions of landscapes to characterize where conservation has happened previously and identify areas where conservation may be more likely in the future. By mapping these "opportunity hotspots", he hopes that conservation organizations can identify areas where their objectives may be met relatively easily and gauge potential resistance to conservation to better assess tradeoffs. He hopes to launch an organization that integrates academic institutions and non-governmental organizations to help conservation organizations choose where to focus their efforts on capacity and capital building in order to more effectively engage people in conservation. Prior to his return to graduate school, Matt spent the last decade working to develop science-based solutions to restoration and conservation problems. Whether restoring a seven acre tallgrass prairie remnant in Illinois, or developing a monitoring program for a 2.4 million acre ponderosa pine restoration effort along Arizona's Mogollon Rim, Matt has sought to integrate citizen engagement and scientific rigor into management and monitoring programs designed to restore degraded landscapes. Prior to his return to graduate school, Matt was a Program Director for the Grand Canyon Trust where he facilitated the development of multiple collaborative research projects aimed at developing a management and conservation strategy for their 850,000 acre ranch on the Grand Canyon's North Rim. Matt is currently a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow and has been a Wilburforce Foundation Conservation Science Fellow, a Wilderness Society Gloria Barron Wilderness Scholar, a Southwest Climate Science Center Climate Fellow, and a Center for Large Landscape Conservation Science Fellow. These experiences fuel his belief in the power of capacity building, social capital, and transparent decision-making as critical components of durable conservation outcomes.

Chocolate City boss and rapper M.I Abaga has come under heavy bashing from Pulse NG. It all started when M.I took to Twitter to slam a journalist at Pulse named Ayomide Tayo after he wrote an article about his career.
M.I felt he should head over to their office to trash out the matter at hand went there with Chocolate City Vice-President, Loose Kaynon to discuss the issue with their editor and music critic, Osagie Alongie on a podcast called Loose Talk.
During the interview Osagie went loose and started attacking M.I in his presence saying his recent album was wack, his artistes buy Youtube views and he has "bloody mother-f**king yes men around him that can't tell him the truth".

text: Ilhan Omar is one of the first Muslim women in Congress [Jim Bourg/Reuters] Politicians, activists and celebrities have joined an outpouring of support for US congresswoman Ilhan Omar after President Donald Trump retweeted a video that was edited to suggest she was dismissive of the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States. Some called Trump's move Islamophobic and an "incitement" to violence against the Somali-American politician, while others said it put her "life in danger". The video Trump retweeted on Friday pulls a snippet of Omar's recent speech to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in which she described the 2001 attack on New York's World Trade Center as "some people did something" and includes news footage of the hijacked planes hitting the Twin Towers. Trump also tweeted: "WE WILL NEVER FORGET!" Neither Trump's tweet nor the video included her full quote or the context of her comments. In a statement on Sunday, Omar said she has faced increased death threats since President Trump's tweet, adding that it was "endangering lives" and "it has to stop". We are all Americans. This is endangering lives. It has to stop. pic.twitter.com/gwB2kDUIRp — Rep. Ilhan Omar (@Ilhan) April 15, 2019 She told CAIR in Los Angeles that many Muslims saw their civil liberties eroded after the attacks, and she advocated for activism. "For far too long we have lived with the discomfort of being a second-class citizen and, frankly, I'm tired of it, and every single Muslim in this country should be tired of it," she said in the March 23 speech, according to a video posted online. "CAIR was founded after 9/11 because they recognised that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties". CAIR was founded in 1994, according to its website, but its membership skyrocketed after the attacks. 'Islamophobic attack' Omar's critics denounced what they said was a flippant description of the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people. Trump slammed for using 9/11 footage against Ilhan Omar (2:21) "First Member of Congress to ever describe terrorists who killed thousands of Americans on 9/11 as 'some people who did something,'" tweeted Dan Crenshaw, a Republican congressman. "Here's your something," the New York Post newspaper blared on its cover beneath a photograph of the flaming towers. The response by conservatives prompted many others, including politicians, academics, actors and writers, to rush to Omar's defence, posting tweets with the #IStandWithIlhanOmar. The Muslim politician also tweeted a quote from former President George W Bush, who said days after the attacks: "The people - and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!" "Was Bush downplaying the terrorist attack?" Omar tweeted. "What if he was a Muslim." Bernie Sanders, Democratic presidential candidate, called Trump's tweet "disgusting and dangerous" on Friday, while Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the US House of Representatives, scolded the president for using the "painful images of 9/11 for a political attack" against Omar. Ilhan Omar is a leader with strength and courage. She won't back down to Trump's racism and hate, and neither will we. The disgusting and dangerous attacks against her must end. — Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) April 13, 2019 Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is also seeking to become the Democratic party's presidential candidate, accused Trump of "inciting violence against a sitting congresswoman - and an entire group of Americans based on their religion". The President is inciting violence against a sitting Congresswoman—and an entire group of Americans based on their religion. It's disgusting. It's shameful. And any elected leader who refuses to condemn it shares responsibility for it. — Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) April 13, 2019 Actor George Takei, best known for playing Hikaru Sulu in the 1966 Star Trek television series, also expressed his support. "When I was a child, it was Japanese Americans who were vilified as the enemy after Pearl Harbor," he wrote, referring to the Japanese attack in 1941 that drew the United States into World War Two. "No one stood up for us, and 120,000 of us were sent to internment camps. I swore that I'd dedicate my life to ensure this never happens again in America," he added. When I was a child, it was Japanese Americans who were vilified as the enemy after Pearl Harbor. No one stood up for us, and 120,000 of us were sent to internment camps. I swore that I'd dedicate my life to ensure this never happens again in America. #IStandWithIlhanOmar — George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) April 13, 2019 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democratic congresswoman, accused Trump of putting Omar's life "in danger", and urged members of US Congress to denounce the president's "explicit attack". One of the ugly aftermaths of 9/11 that is too often ignored is the codified profiling of Muslim-Americans solely bc of their faith. No-fly lists. Warantless mosque surveillance. All of it. To fear+suspect all Muslims due to the actions of terrorists is bigotry. Plain & simple. https://t.co/gYgzAe6xGv — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) April 13, 2019 Javier Munoz, star of the Broadway hit Hamilton, also hit back at Trump, saying "it's absolutely NOT normal to demonise" Omar with "anti-Muslim rhetoric", while Ibram X Kendi, a professor at the American University, said anyone who did not stand with Omar "stands with Islamophobia, with racism, with politicians deploying lies to inflame racial and religious terror in the country". It goes without saying that #IStandWithIlhanOmar. And anyone who does not stands with @IlhanMN stands with Islamophobia, with racism, with politicians deploying lies to inflame racial and religious terror in the country. There is no middle ground in this struggle. — Ibram X. Kendi (@DrIbram) April 13, 2019 Jewish groups also spoke in favour of Omar, who earlier in the year had been criticised by some politicians and Jewish groups after she suggested politicians supporting Israel have dual allegiances. Bend the Arc, a Jewish lobby group, called the Trump's tweet "violent and unconscionable", while Rabbi Jill Jacobs said the president was "engaging in blatant Islamophobia". Trump is engaging in blatant Islamophobia by taking a comment by @IlhanMN out of context in order to smear her with the worst stereotypes. He is likely also endangering her life, as she has already been target of death threats. @jack @Twitter how long will you allow incitement? — Rabbi Jill Jacobs (@rabbijilljacobs) April 12, 2019 Amy Klobuchar, another Democratic presidential candidate, noted that a New York man recently was charged with threatening Omar's life. "The video the president chose to send out today will only incite more hate," she wrote. "You can disagree with her words - as I have done before - but this video is wrong. Enough."

WVRockscene goes for "Triple Crown" this summer!
Whether you're more into cupcakewave, dark indie is more yer thing, or just like showing up at free shows where people are playing instruments, Friday is lookin pretty cool up in Magic Town.
Morgantown cupcakewave four-piece Bonfire (above) is set to pre-release their debut cassette "Triple Crown" (on Crash Symbols) at the Blue Moose Café with The Overcoat.
The show is not only all-ages, but, again, free, so you can go ahead and pre-order our copy of "Triple Crown" for us, and count it as some kind of charitable act. No money involved = no worries about cover charges and splitting the door money and having to cancel the show. Killer!
Of course, then you'd have to mail us the cassette, which will cost you extra, unless you work at an office where you can mail stuff out clandestine style. Or, you could film you playing it, upload it to youtube, and host it there for us to rock out (looking at you, Zach Francis). Talk about multi-media. Whatever.
If you have to work -- call in sick. And if yer in jail -- BREAK OUT!!!
So you've read this much, why not check out previous Bonfire-related posts here at WVRockscene? Oh and there's also the live bootleg we got of Bonfire playing on U92's Morgantown Sound from way back in April. Ripped straight off the ol' internet for all our listening pleasure.
It's always great finding out about cool new local bands. Bonfire is one of those bands. Despite not being able to please everyone with our posts, sometimes, we just aim to please ourselves. And no money is involved!
Wanna learn more about Bonfire before you show up and start asking the band ridiculous questions? Click here or here, and definitely check out Liz Toler and Dwight Pavlovic's art from their Tiny Scissors show...

Thank you to Google for highlighting the birthday of Laura Ingalls Wilder in the Google home page for today. Laura was born on February 7, 1867.
I will definitely order Wilder's autobiography, just now published.
The contrast between the Little House on the Prairie books and the harsh realities of Wilder's own life is directly parallel to the contrast between Little Women and the hardships faced by Louisa May Alcott and her mother Abigail May Alcott.
Marmee and Louisa: The Untold Story of Louisa May Alcott and Her Mother by Eve LaPlante thoroughly and painfully chronicles the realities of the four sisters whose lives were transformed into fiction by Louisa. This double biography was published by Simon & Schuster in 2012.
Their father, Bronson Alcott, was a narcissist and dreamer who did not support his family.
The girls' mother, Abigail May Alcott, attempted to earn money by serving in Boston as one of the first ever social workers. Unfortunately, she contracted smallpox and scarlet fever, bringing them home to her daughters.
Ever wonder what Beth actually died of? Damage to her heart caused by smallpox and scarlet fever.
Louisa, her mother, her uncle, and her sisters worked for the abolition of slavery and for women's right to vote. When then Civil War began, Louisa wanted to serve, so she enlisted as a nurse in a hospital in Washington, D.C.
Shortly thereafter, she contracted typhoid pneumonia, surviving the initial fever but permanently impairing her health and causing an auto-immune disorder that killed her at age 55.
At least she was able to attend a town meeting and vote for the first time in a local election in Concord, Massachusetts, in 1880.
Why do we love these fictional, romanticized accounts of women's lives but avoid the harsh realities?
Walt Disney and Hollywood have been giving the public sugary dreams for years.
At last some of us are brave enough to drink the stronger medicine, straight from the author's own life.

Good Stuff
I don't usually buy fancy jams & things, but once in a while I have to make an exception. Case in point:
Figs & ginger are two of the food-related ways to my heart, so this found its way into my grocery basket in, like, two seconds.
I love Stonewall Kitchen products, and this is definitely a new favorite! I've already tried it on sprouted-grain toast with melted cheese and on top of oatmeal with plum & tahini. I imagine it's also great in yogurt, on top of pancakes, and used as a base for marinade or salad dressing. My inner mad scientist is looking forward to a little experimentation.
As far as nutrition is concerned, sometimes people ask me what I think about added sugars in condiments, and I tend to feel the way I do about sugar in general:
- a little goes a long way, and
- when you do enjoy it, make it a small amount of something you really love
So if a little spread of your favorite fruit preserves is going to take your healthy sandwich from good to "OMG I need to Instagram this amazingness ASAP," go for it. Just keep that feeling in mind when staring down the bowl of waxy leftover Easter (milk) chocolate at the office, and save your sweet-time for when it's awesome. Oh dear. I wish my brain wasn't so quick to make that into a metaphor…
What's your favorite condiment? Any new finds?
XTreme Food Porn
The Center for Science in the Public Interest just released their annual XTreme Eating list, which highlights some of the most unhealthy foods at U.S. chain restaurants.
On the list of de-honorees? The Cheesecake Factory's Bistro Shrimp Pasta, made with a butter and cream sauce and topped with battered, fried shrimp, has 3,120 calories and 89 grams of saturated fat and 1,090 milligrams of sodium, according to CSPI, which states it has verified the nutrient content with the restaurants included. However, the Cheesecake Factory claims the dish has (only) 3,020 calories, 79 grams of saturated fat and 1,076 milligrams of sodium.
Either way, it exceeds the recommended 20 grams of saturated fat and gets quite close to the 1,500 milligrams of sodium per day American adults are advised to consume.
As highlighted in this Reuter's article, other Xtreme Eating winners for 2013 include:
– Johnny Rockets' Bacon Cheddar Double Hamburger with 1,770 calories, 50 grams of saturated fat and 2,380 milligrams of sodium. An order of sweet potato fries tacks on another 590 calories and 800 milligrams of sodium.
-IHOP's Country Fried Steak & Egg Combo—deep fried steak with fried eggs plus deep-fried potatoes and two buttermilk pancakes—with 1,760 calories, 23 grams saturated fat, and 3,720 milligrams sodium, and 11 teaspoons added sugar.
– Cheesecake Factory's Crispy Chicken Costoletta with 2,610 calories, 89 grams of saturated fat and 2,720 milligrams of sodium. Cheesecake Factory told Reuters that dish has 2,560 calories, 86 grams of saturated fat and 2,767 milligrams of sodium. Just for a little perspective, that's equivalent to the amount of calories in a KFC 12-piece order of fried chicken.
– Smoothie King's Peanut Power Plus Grape Smoothie, which includes peanut butter, banana, sugar and grape juice. A 40-ounce, large size has 1,460 calories and 22 teaspoons of added sugar plus 29 teaspoons of naturally occurring sugar.
You can see the whole slideshow here.
What do you think about restaurants serving food with multiple days' worth of calories, saturated fat, sodium, and sugar?
Is it just me…?
Is it just me or does this Bouche de Noel look like a pair of boxers? It could just be that I'm unaccustomed to adequate sleep/non-bleary vision, but I don't know…
Merry Christmas and/or Happy December 25!
How are you spending your day?
The Power of Suggestion
Every day at lunch, I have a cup of tea (usually green). Interns get free tea, coffee, and fountain drinks, and I definitely take advantage. I don't know why I never noticed this before, but yesterday, I was looking at the wrapping and got kind of annoyed. Why does the freaking tea wrapper have to include sweetening the tea in the preparation instructions? It really doesn't have to be sweet to be enjoyable, folks!
What's the most annoying thing you've seen on a food wrapper or package lately?
Cancer group calls for study on sugary drinks, obesity
As reported earlier this week, the American Cancer Society is urging the Surgeon General to conduct a large-scale study of the impact of sugar-sweetened beverages on consumer health, highlighting the role these types of beverages play in the nation's obesity crisis and the need for an action plan. The proposed study is being compared to the U.S. top doctor's landmark report on the dangers of smoking that came out in 1964.
In which Frank Bruni calls it as he sees it
In this Sunday's New York Times Review section, Frank Bruni responds to Bloomberg's proposed ban on sales of large portion sizes of sugary drinks. In his essay, "Trimming a Fat City," Bruni, who has written about his own struggles with weight and his relationship to food, makes a case for the ban. It's definitely worth a read!
The Cadbury Takeaway
My friend JR sent me this yesterday. Who needs to use sugar packets to quantity how bad something is for you when you've got Cadbury Cream Eggs?
Do you like Cadbury eggs?
I like the first bite, but then my tastebuds rebel against the sweetness and I give up and wonder why I didn't remember that I actually kind of hate these things. Happens every Easter…

Walker Signs Right-to-Work Legislation in Wisconsin
A right-to-work bill recently passed the State Assembly in Wisconsin with voting along party lines and has been signed by Governor Scott Walker.
The bill, which affords workers the ability to not pay dues to a union that bargains collectively on their behalf, is indicative of a movement making its way across the nation. Right-to-work once only saw action in the South and West, but has recently seen a surge within Midwestern states that typically favor unions, such as Indiana and Michigan, both of which passed right-to-work laws in 2012.
Federal law requires labor unions to represent all workers within a unit whether they belong to the union or not.
"This is all about Scott Walker's presidential run – he's trying to wear this credential for conservatives," said Phil Neuenfeldt, president of the Wisconsin AFL-CIO. "The upside of this right-to-work fight is we've seen a lot of solidarity. When you look at all the labor protests over the last two weeks, this just might build stronger unions, and it might blow up in their faces."
While Republicans and business lobbyists feel the bill is needed in Wisconsin to show that businesses are welcome by arguing that workers should be able to decide on their own whether to spend money on union dues, Democrats and union leaders contend that the bill does not do as much to attract businesses as supporters would have people believe. Some believe they try to lure businesses by lowering wages and making unions weaker, reports Steven Greenhouse for The Guardian. They also suggest that the measure would pit workers against their bosses and against each other, thereby "destroying labor peace" in the state.
The popularity of the bill across the nation reflects a decrease in union membership, which has fallen to 11%. The private sector has seen the largest decrease so far, down to 6.6% from its high point of 40% in the 1950s. As membership declines, unions become less able to defend their practice of asking for dues in order to increase wages, causing the right-to-work idea to become more popular, writes Brian Mahoney for Politico.
"This freedom-to-work legislation will give workers the freedom to choose whether or not they want to join a union, and employers another compelling reason to consider expanding or moving their business to Wisconsin. Thanks to the members of the Legislature for their work on this bill, and I look forward to signing it into law on Monday," Walker said.
Wisconsin is now the 25th state in the nation to have right-to-work legislation.

A homeless man has reportedly been "jumped on like a trampoline" by three people as he slept in his tent in Blackpool on the Promenade.
The 55-year-old homeless man, named Igor Gieci, was left "battered" after the attack with noticeable bruising. Police say that the "Unprovoked and prolonged" attack took places in the early hours of yesterday morning with Gieci being taken to Blackpool Victoria Hospital for significant facial injuries.
Police are looking for the culprits – Believed to be 17-18 years of age.
In broken English, the Slovakian told The Blackpool Gazette: "Me speak 'Please, stop it, stop it, what is me problem, me no problem." The boys, who had hoods up, smacked Mr Gieci with his own crutches and took his basic Alcatel mobile phone, which he fears they threw in the Irish Sea to stop him calling police, before they strolled off like "normal." His tent was also ripped and thrown away.
Mr Gieci said he went to the tourist information centre after the attack, and was taken to the council's housing office in Albert Road before being driven to hospital by a council worker.

I attempted rice again in the solar cooker. The first time it came out so yummy and fluffy that I was excited to do it again. So excited, in fact, that I left the rice out there for almost 2 hours. It was…crunchy. I guess I should add rice to the list of things where time matters.
However, my recipe called for mango pieces mixed with the rice, so it moistened it right back up.
This recipe comes from the China Study Cookbook.
Curried Chickpeas and Rice
1 cup uncooked brown rice
1 mango
4 tomatoes, diced
1 cup chickpeas
1 Tbsp curry
Cook the rice. Cut the mango and stir it into the rice.
In a saucepan, combine diced tomatoes, chickpeas, and curry. Simmer 4 minutes.
Serve with the tomato mixture spooned on top of the rice. Garnish with cilantro.
Rating: yummy!

BERTHET BONDET 2016 TRIO COTES DU JURAItem #: i_352756Bottle Size: 750mlDomaine Berthet-Bondet is located in the subregion of Château-Chalon, the heartland of the Jura. The 2016 Trio was made of three grape varieties, 50% Trousseau, 30% Poulsard, and 20% Pinot Noir, all organically farmed and hand harvested. Berries were sorted, destemmed, and underwent a short maceration to extract desired flavors, color, and tannins. Fermentation and maturation were conducted in stainless steel tanks. Primary aromas and flavors included strawberry, red cherry, tomato leaf, tea, tarragon, juniper, and rhubarb. Tertiary notes included dusty trail and cherry compote.
LULU 2016 COTES DU JURA BB1Item #: i_353127Bottle Size: 750mlChardonnay & Savagnin
Ludwig's BB1 (meaning first baby, as it was the first wine he made) has trademark balance and finesse from 60yo vines in Le Vernois in a blue marl soil just above a layer of fossilized oysters. Aged in old barrels in his deep underground cave for three years and topped up, you find hints of menthol and acacia flowers on the nose, dried and stewed citrus fruits with a strong mineral impression on the palate with an iodine and saline twist, then gentle bitters on the finish.
ROLET 2016 ARBOIS POULSARD VVItem #: i_334027Bottle Size: 750MLLight in body yet intensely perfumed, the rare Poulsard grape here gives a supple-textured wine full of red berry fruit alongside some earthy-animal complexity.
"Redcurrant and cherry, with a hint of hibiscus on the nose. Light and precise, with cherry complemented by floral and spice flavors. A delightful and lively Poulsard." - Skurnik Imports
Domaine Rolet, founded in the early 1940s, is Jura's largest family-owned estate. The second generation-four siblings-now run the show: Bernard and Guy look after the sixty hectares of vines as well as the winemaking, while Pierre and Eliane handle the commercial side. The vines are 50+ years old, the yields low, and the vinification meticulous, leading to brilliant, precise expressions of Jura's distinctive wine styles. Vineyard The grapes were harvested by hand from vines aged thirty-five to forty-five, planted on red marl soils in the communes of Montigny and Arbois. The grapes were sorted and crushed, then fermented with indigenous yeast for around three weeks in stainless steel tanks. The wine was then aged in large, used casks ("foudre") for fifteen months.

MLB hot stove: Rangers agree to 3-year deal with starter Lance Lynn
The Rangers have agreed to a three-year contract with starting pitcher Lance Lynn, according to MLB.com. The deal is worth $30 million.
Source: Lance Lynn and the Rangers have agreed to a three-year, $30 million deal.— Mark Feinsand (@Feinsand) December 12, 2018
Lynn was 10-10 with a 4.77 ERA for the Twins and Yankees last season, but his numbers don't tell the whole story.
The 31-year-old right-hander signed late in the offseason and did not get a full spring training under his belt.
As a result, he got off to a bad start and never quite hit his stride. He was 0-3 with an 8.37 ERA in April.
Before signing with the Twins as a free agent last season, Lynn was one of the most consistent starters in all of MLB.
The former Cardinals starter had posted five straight seasons of at least 30 starts, 170 innings or more, 150 strikeouts and an ERA below 4.00.
He has twice thrown more than 200 innings.
Lynn may not have pitched as well last season, but he has historically been an innings-eating, quality starting pitcher.

Summer Fun, Faith and Fitness (Love=happy)
Faith is the foundation of our ability to lighten up and live. We will all go through something almost daily. That is just life. Our ability to believe that Jesus will hold us though it all and provide for us allows us to leap forward into out new day, new moment. I think that is why it is called a leap of faith.
I often have to practice leaving problems behind in my relationships. People mess up. They offend me and I do not always feel like turning the other cheek and being nice. Yet when I do I feel Gods love flow through me. Today, and each day intentionally choose love and kindness no matter how justified you are in being angry and watch how the love of God flows through you!
1 John 2:9-10 "He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. 10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light and there is none occasion of stumbling in him."
Be fit and be blessed,

Khadija Saye, a former boarder at Rugby School and recipient of an Arnold Foundation bursary died with her mother Mary Mendy in the Grenfell Tower in London.
The internationally respected photographer was exhibiting her work entitled 'Dwelling: in this space we breathe' at the 57th Vennice Biennale at the time of her death.
Born in Britain in December 1992 to Gambian parents, Khadija (also known as Ya-Haddy Sisi or Kay) joined Rugby School on an Arnold Foundation bursary in 2008.
Her matron Marian Bennett recalled Khadjia being 'likeable and friendly, with a beaming smile'. "Khadija arrived at Stanley (boarding house) in the Advent term 2008. Every new girl I'm sure, leaving that which is very familiar, and coming to a completely different environment will feel nervous at the big change in her life.
"For Khadija, the change would have been different to the other new students coming to 6th form at Rugby.
"I couldn't say what was going through her mind as she settled into a new School environment, but one thing is that if she did feel any trepidation or fear she certainly didn't show it. " The house photograph of 2009 could almost be a superimposed photograph of the previous year of Khadija, albeit she was standing in a different place. She remained the same girl that arrived the year before.
"I cannot ever remember having to chivvy Khadija along, she had a fine stride on her and she used it with purpose, there was a determination about her, she was going places".
Marian added: "Rugby I i,agine would have been quite a culture shock for Khadija, she wasn't however phased, she had her own culture to celebrate.
"Her imagination and photography embraced the world she knew, sadly her ambitions will not come to fruition."
Former Headmaster Patrick Derham said Khadija had left 'an indelible mark on all of us'. Khadija is what makes the Arnold Foundation so special. Rachel Carr, the Chief Executive of IntoUniversity, told me before I met her for the first time that there was someone who would enrich the Rugby community and who we would never forget. How true that was.
"From the interview where we could see behind the shyness a wonderful human being who wanted to make her mark and to make a difference. She did.
"Her creativity was unleashed by her time in the photography department in particular ad her teachers spoke of her talent, her passion and her unbridled enthusiasm for the opportunities she was given. The journey she made was remarkable and to see her on the final day of term with a big beaming smile is an image I will never forget. And her mother too on that occasion who was so proud of her wonderful daughter. She had every right to be.
"For their lives to be so cruelly ended is hard to comprehend. Her work will surely be a lasting tribute both to her gifts, and to those at IntoUniversity, Rugby and Khadija's A Level Photography teacher Amy Farrelly, remembered as her "humbel and unassuming spirit who was making a difference in her own community.
"She was incredibly empathetic to others and she was one of my most talented students in her year.
"She went on to study Photography at Surrey and recently had an exhibition in Venice. She was Truly an up and coming artist. She has produced a beautiful documentary series on Gambians living London. She was going to do great things and was beloved by all who knew her."
MP David Lammy, who also knew Khadija, described her as "a beautiful young woman who had blossomed over the last few years."
Founded in 2003 the Arnold Foundation exists to transform the lives of boys and girls from some of the countries most deprived communities by providing them with a boarding education at Rugby School. www.rugbyschool.co.uk/arnold-foundation.
IntoUniversity provides local learning centres where young people are inspired to achieve. At each local centre IntoUniversity offers an innovative programme that supports young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to attain either a university place or another chosen aspiration.
The BSA is establishing the Khadija Saye Photography Prize worth £250 a year to the best photograph portfolio by a boarding pupil. A portfolio of no less than three and no more than six original and unedited photographs can be submitted for entry (by October 31, 2017), with full details of each picture, where when and why they were taken, and technical information.
Entries can be submitted digitally to Aileen Kane, Director of Operations via firstname.lastname@example.com or delivered by hard copy to Boarding Schools' Association, 4th Floor, 134 Buckingham Palace Road, London SW1 9SA. Details of the first prize winner will be included in the Spring 2018 edition of the Boarding School magazine.

VAT is a tax that you pay as a consumer when you buy goods and services in the European Union (EU), including the United Kingdom. In the UK the standard rate for VAT is 20 per cent.
Disabled people don't have to pay VAT when they buy equipment that has been designed solely for disabled people, or on the adaptation of equipment so they can use it.
Also, VAT is not charged on certain services provided to disabled people, including some building work to adapt a disabled person's home and the hire of disability equipment like wheelchairs.
Goods and services on which you don't have to pay VAT are often referred to as 'zero-rated' or 'eligible for VAT relief'. In other words, the rate of VAT that is charged on them is zero.
The rules about VAT reliefs for disabled people are complex. Not everything that is supplied to disabled people is zero-rated for VAT.
VAT law states that you must be 'chronically sick or disabled' to qualify for VAT relief.
A person is 'chronically sick or disabled' if they:
A person with a temporary injury like a broken leg would not qualify, nor would a frail older person who was otherwise well and non-disabled.
A product or service must also be supplied for the 'personal or domestic use' of a chronically sick or disabled person to qualify for zero-rating. Things not covered by this include:
Some examples of products that are zero-rated for VAT are:
Services that are eligible for zero-rating include:
If you are a wheelchair or stretcher user, you should not have to pay VAT when you buy a motor vehicle that has been substantially and permanently adapted for your personal use. A wheelchair user is defined as anyone who has to use a wheelchair - powered or manual - in order to be mobile.
Any adaptation work that is done on an unadapted vehicle to make it suitable for a disabled person's condition, whether or not that person is a wheelchair user, is also eligible for zero-rating. However, there is no VAT relief on the purchase of an unadapted vehicle.
For more information, read the notice 'Motor vehicles for disabled people' on the HM Revenue & Customs website.
Read the notice 'Motor vehicles for disabled people' on the HMRC website (opens new window)
Before you pay for any product or service, check that it qualifies for zero-rating and that the supplier is registered for VAT.
When you buy a zero-rated product or service, you may have to sign a form declaring that you have a chronic illness or disability and what it is. You must also declare that the product or service is for your own 'personal or domestic use'. The supplier should have copies of this form.
You can then buy the product or service at a price that excludes VAT. You don't have to pay VAT and then reclaim it from the government - it will be taken off the purchase price before you pay.
You can find an example of the declaration form in the 'VAT reliefs for disabled people' notice on the HM Revenue & Customs website.

text: twistking 202 Posted September 8, 2018 Hello, i've come along some problems with my missions in multiplayer and now i'm wondering, if there are some workarounds for them. 1. sometimes players can't pick up items from dead bodys. this is a arma classic by now. any ideas how i can minimize the change of it happening? 2. sometimes a mobile spawnpoint (tent) is not available for certain players, while it is for others. also disconnecting and rejoining does not help for the client, who cannot see the spawn point. repacking and resetting the tent does not help either. any ideas? 3. animals (from the animals modules) either don't spawn in MP, or they do spawn but are completely static. i noticed that there are different animal modules, but i haven't had success with either of them. any ideas? i really need some sheep in my missions! 4. the first shot fired from the new VLS on the liberty destroyer doesnt't work. there is a sound and VLS reloads, but the missile does not actually show. the second shot and following shot seem fine. it's not a game-breaker but a bit of an imemrsion killer... 5. not a real issue, but i will add this here, instead of making a seperate thread: a player that entered ZEUS mode, will still have some UI on his screen, even when he leaves ZEUS (i think it is the ticket counter on the right, if i remember correctly). is there a way to limit ZEUS UI to the time actually being in ZEUS mode? thanks for you help:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tommy Sheridan's press conference is available on-line via the BBC newsplayer. However, I was initially uncertain as to whether this was the real TOmmy Sheridan or the concocted CGI version which has been appearing across the media recently. It became apparent though during the conference that this Tommy was that hairy permatanned kid that sured played a mean libel. His oration covered the usual Sheridan issues.
He attacks Murdoch and the Murdoch press (hooray) partly on the grounds that the papers overtly promote sexism and racism. I don't dissent from that position. However, his comments are perhaps ironic coming from the man that attacked some of his then fellow SSP MSPs as being part of a gender obsessed discussion group ; and who – in the words of Kevin Williamson in his resignation letter from the SSP "humiliated and disparaged women he had previously used for casual sex. Maybe there was much fiction concerning the original stories in the News of the World. Maybe there was indeed money changing hands in the cases of both Ms Maguire and Ms Khan. …. Katrine Trolle in particular must have walked out of that court room feeling sexually humiliated. No genuine socialist who cared about truth, justice, or the feelings of other human beings, would have gone down the road that Tommy Sheridan chose to go down. The means by which he fought that court case have brought deep shame on himself and stained the very causes he purports to champion. "
He draws comparison between his new party and the NUM in GB84, and the Liverpool fans attacked by The SUn after Hillsborough.
My favourite passage from his speech though is
"And just as Freddie Starr did not eat his hamster then the video that has been concocted, manufactured, and presented on Sunday as some kind of authentic evidence of a confession is up there alongside Mr Blair of the Daily Telegraph stumbling upon the arrows that just happened to point , in the bombed out building of the ministry of defence in Baghdad, George Galloway's dealings with Saddam Hussein's government. Allegations and stories that are garbage, that are lies, that are concocted to try and attack socialists. I said in the course of my mammoth five week trial against the Murdoch empire a mammoth five week trial against everything that they could throw against us. All of the muck that they could rake was thrown against me, my family and my political beliefs. I said then that I was the victim of the mother of all stitch ups."
Additionally (although not in the clip) Tommy "Freddie Starr did not eat his hamster" Sheridan hinted that – as I had suggested some weeks ago – he was transforming into Michael "I know where you live" Murray from GBH. Today he suggested that MI5 were involved in destabilising him.
So in summary – the News of the World tape is a fake. The shadowy image at the start is not Tommy. The voice speaking is not Tommy (perhaps one of these damned impressionists – Bobby Davro, Jon Culshaw, Rory Bremner, or the great Jonathan Watson (who has a monopoly on MSPs)). He's never been to the flat where the video was filmed (the flat occupied by one of his best men – it could be suggested that they could call in the fingerprint experts to test that – however, for reasons explained here perhaps now isn't the best time to suggest that). Instead Tommy is in a war with the Murdoch empire and the story in the News of the World is up there with the Hillsborough stories, and Freddie Starr and the hamster (nice sense of perspective, Tommy). Oh, and it wasnae him. A big boy fae MI5 did it, and then ran away.
I described current events as a protracted Shakespearian demise on Sunday. Things may come to a head a little sooner than I had anticipated. The trailed story in the News of the World this Sunday may finish the job.

On the Fridays when the night lights illuminated the field at the private high school, Roommate and I ordered in and opened a bottle of wine. We turned down the lights, lit some candles, and turned the music up just enough to know what was playing.
The Concordia house was just outside the school zone boundaries, two blocks from stadium corner. Two-way streets were squeezed to narrow lanes for all the cars—the fans, the friends, players' families and their friends. Doors slammed. Stereos blared. Horns honked. People screamed and crowds cheered.
The school was an exclusive college preparatory. There was money to spare, and the boys with too much of it gathered on the railroad-tie retaining wall at the dead-end of the street, just inside the shadow of the street light. Right outside my living room windows. Right outside higher fines for drugs and alcohol.
They popped their cans of Miller High Life and rolled their spliffs. They puffed and passed, talked big about fucking cheerleaders, when really they only got to second base. Roommate and I sat on the couch with the windows cracked just enough, puffing and passing our own.
Every once in a while a late arrival exercised the patience of driving five miles per hour searching for a parking spot that didn't require a small fortune and a shuttle bus. The small crowd of deviants hushed, still as statues, and waited for the headlights to veer off away from the dead-end. They laughed. Roommate and I laughed with them. They thought they hadn't been caught.
Roommate and I would look at each other, candle shadows dancing on the walls, music accompanying the mood, appetites satisfied on delicious local fare, or the occasional pizza, and we'd wrap our hands through the handles and throw open the windows and yell, "Hey! What do you think you're doing?"
Boys dumped and dashed and we went outside to collect our takings—always beer, usually pot, and once mushrooms—and laughed til we pee'd in our own bushes.

Addition of new competition gym and accessory locker rooms, coaches offices, and storage areas. Adjacent gymnasiums, locker rooms, restrooms, and auditorium received accessibility and finish upgrades.
Sports are what keeps this particular community together. They have a long standing heritage of competing, with many people still involved on a regular basis at the school. The new arena facility not only provided a place for resonant pride, but it also gave an actual place for the community to gather for all kinds of events, including sporting events. The addition of a third gym on this campus also allowed the owner to host tournaments simultaneously that help to build and serve the community.
Back to back state titles and a heritage of athletic excellence was the catalyst for this new space. A place for community to gather and share in the tradition of the sport, in a place that enlightened the spirit of the game, became the focus of the mission to create a new "one of a kind" arena. Scale became an important design tactic to achieve the owners vision of having a "collegiate feel". Specific design goals created new ways of designing area facilities.
3D modeling was used extensively throughout the project to convey and design solutions. The capabilities to see the final product as its designed allowed the owner to make "on-time" decisions throughout the project, knowing what the final result will be. Additionally the use of daylight and other simulation tools allowed the final design to take advantage of opportunities often not taken in similar types of facilities.
The arena was designed to have treated daylight with the use of curtianwall windows on its south façade. In combination with exterior louvers and canopies, and the interior roller shades, the facility is able to adjust light levels depending on configuration of the space as well as light needs. The use of daylight was two-fold. First, the daylighting was provided to offset electrical energy needed to power artificial lights. Second, it was provided to improve general well being of the occupants.
The design of the facility was kept simple to facilitate operations, maintenance, and aesthetic quality. Many spaces were designed to be used as much by the public as the school system them selves therefore creating social spaces like the large concourses and outside meeting spaces. Masonry and glass were used mostly to project a sense of quality, durability, and tradition within the design. Those materials also helped achieve specific sustainable goals.

text: So Trump got into the Whitehouse as President of America, and now Padraig Bree has got in as Editor of Galway Lions Club bulletin. Speaking at our July meeting Padraig said "In agreeing to take on this prestigious role I am acutely aware of the long history of excellent editors we have had. Lion Dan Griffin was the original of the species, followed by Lion John Hanlon RIP, and Lion Tom Hogan, who has undertaken this task with aplomb and professionalism. In a Lions sense, each of these people have been heroes of mine, from Danny's steady maturity, to John's absolute attention to detail, and Tom excellently and diligently serving many roles in the Lion's organisation. The shoes I have now inherited are very large and I do hope I will be able to come somewhere near to the high standards set by each of the previous editors. This standard is confirmed by the large number of times, the Galway Bulletin has won the National Bulletin Award at Convention". We wish Padraig well in his new role.

When we struggle, we make adaptations to our personalities and our behavior to get through the discomfort. I've previously written about coping strategies. They generally develop because we need more attention or less pain from our primary caregivers and family members.
We may learn to be a people-pleaser or extra nice so as not to upset our alcoholic mother. We may become self-reliant at an early age because our parents are not reliable resources for care.
Is this trait good or bad?
Often we evaluate our coping mechanisms as positive or negative. Some people might say stubbornness is negative and being a workaholic is positive, but Matt Brauning (Neurolinguistic Programmer (NLP) and author) says our adaptations are neither positive or negative but only useful or not useful in different contexts.
NLP is a method that helps alter our patterns, beliefs and thoughts. Tony Robbins famously practices it.
Getting back to our stubbornness and workaholism examples, we can see how it is possible for these traits to be useful in one context and not useful in another. For instance, a child who steadfastly refuses to listen to any guidance their parents offer, uses their stubbornness in an unhelpful/not useful way. A child who refuses to let the school bully sway her opinion or push her around uses mulishness to her advantage.
Workaholics tend to achieve. Our culture reveres the busy and productive person, therefore workaholism serves as a useful adaptation in the career world. Meanwhile, family life may suffer as we toil away long hours at the office or lab or station. Our long hours may not feel useful to our family's desire for closeness but they may provide financial security. It's important to see our coping mechanisms in many lights.
Positive narratives heal
Finding ways to employ our adaptations, helps us make lemonade from lemons. We create a positive narrative for our lives from a situation that originally caused us pain.
Think about how you have shaped yourself to receive attention and avoid pain. How are those adaptations useful or not useful in different contexts.
What adaptations serve as useful? Not so useful? Where do they work? Where do they not work?
My work schedule precludes me from writing long form posts. I plan to continue my weekly posts but they may be shortened. I still intend to give you thoughts and ideas to chew on. Perhaps a new way to look at things or an insight you need. It's important to me to keep our connection. 🙂

Happiness is…
What makes you happy?
I'm talking about the little things here. The daily moments that make you sigh contentedly or hug yourself inside or grin big.
Driving to work I see a small child's hand out the back window of a car, fingers trailing in the airstream. It makes me happy.
In a crowded restaurant, the briefest of eye contacts lets me know that G and I are sharing the same private joke. It makes me happy.
Unable to sleep at night, I re-live travels – walking through the forests of Bohemia last summer, camel trekking in the Negev, drinking Arabic coffee with cardamom in Jerusalem, traversing London by Underground, lying on my back in the grass in the middle of Avebury Stone Circle. This makes me happy too.
I'm cooking dinner when a certain song starts playing. G comes over and holds me for a few moments without speaking. Words not needed – that makes me happy.
These moments make me happy:
The sound of my son singing unselfconsciously along to a love song.
G's daughter resting her head on my shoulder when I read to her.
G's arm curled around my tummy as I fall asleep.
Diving under that first ocean wave on any given morning. The golden light in the hour before sunset. Singing loudly in the car. People watching. Taking photographs. Eating an avocado pear. Wandering around bookstores touching the silky new covers. Finding beautiful texts and fonts somewhere unexpected. Lying on my yoga mat with my legs up the wall and my new scented eye bean bag over my eyes.
It doesn't take something particularly huge or earth shaking to make life happy. These moments are like beads on a string, delicately threaded, deliciously unexpected, small gifts given without warning to be gathered up and treasured or enjoyed and let go.
