Channel 4 have offloaded the live rights to the 2013 IAAF World Athletics Championships in Moscow to the BBC.
Both broadcasters reached a "commercial agreement" which will see the transfer of the broadcast rights to next year's showpiece athletics event pass to the corporation.
The last World Championships in Daegu in 2011 were covered by Channel 4, but the broadcaster has decided to pull the plug on their agreement with the IAAF a year early after losing out to the BBC for the next term.
The corporation were due to take back the showcase track and field contract from Channel 4 in 2014 on a four-year deal that includes the World Championships coming to London in 2017.

LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) — Lafayette police were called to Champs Bar and Grill for a report of shots fired early Sunday morning. It was the second time police were called to the bar for shots fired in just five weeks.
According to Lieutenant Scott Galloway, police responded to the bar on South Earl Avenue. around 3:30 Sunday morning. Bar security had witnessed a man firing two shots into the air while in the parking lot.
Galloway said there was no information suggesting an argument or fight took place prior.
No injuries were reported. Police collected two shell casings on arrival.
Hunter Rabideau lives nearby and said he heard the gunshots.
"I came outside and looked out, I didn't see anything but I was like what the heck is that it sounded like fireworks I thought," said Rabideau.
This is the second time he's heard gunshots coming from Champs Bar.
"It's just kind of going downhill I feel like, and the cops are helping it's just you can't always help everything," said Rabideau.
Lieutenant Scott Galloway said they are certainly going to try.
"We know there is no issues with the way he is operating his bar, it's just the clientele there is making poor decisions," said Galloway.
The incident is not something police are going to overlook.
"We are going to increase our presence there when the bar lets out because that is when these things happen," Galloway said.
He said the bar owner is always in communication with police and often asks what he can do to make things safer.
LPD investigators are collecting witness accounts and surveillance video.
The bar has a history of violence. In the early morning hours of Feb. 22, LPD was called to the bar for a shots fired report. The suspect, 22-year-old Keya Erves, was charged with intimidation, criminal recklessness and pointing a firearm just last week.
Related: Shots fired outside Lafayette bar overnight
Related: Arrest related in Thursday morning shots fired at Champs Bar
Lafayette police said the bar has recently added video surveillance to help with crime. LPD also provides extra patrols in the area during the time the bars close.

Name of the Team : CCN Cycling Team
Country : Brunei
This is the first year for CCN Cycling Team being organized as a continental team based in Brunei.
With the help from sponsors CCN and EM2 and the help from the cycling federation of Brunei we had the opportunity to built up a continental team out of the club team we had before running.
It all started in 2007 when our team first raced in Cameroon riding Chantal Biya where we won with Peter van Agtmaal. Following years we were able to win races and participating in races on all continents, with wins in tour of Laos, sprint jersey in tour of Philippines and tour of Singkarak and numerous wins and top 3 places.
This all with the help of CCN during all those years and also for some years sponsors like Colossi and Challenge we were able to develop our team in what now is the first Brunei based continental team CCN Cycling Team.
The team is a mix of experienced older riders and young talented Asian riders who will get the opportunity to improve their skills and experiences. Focus will be the Asian UCI races, but if we get the opportunity we will also participate in races in Europe.

Singapore, 24 February 2014 – Dinah never knew who her father was. He had been incarcerated for drug consumption when she was very young and her mother divorced him while he was still in prison. Dinah started to play truant from school when she was barely 11 years old, staying overnight at the beach and loitering around shopping centres. By the time she was caught for consuming heroin at the age of 15, Dinah had drifted in and out of three sexual relationships and had stayed away from home for about two years.
Dinah's story is one of eight case studies of juvenile offenders in a new book on the workings of Singapore's juvenile justice system. Written by Ms Lim Hui Min, a former District Judge in the Family & Juvenile Court and currently Director of the Legal Services Unit at the Ministry of Social and Family Development, Juvenile Justice, Where Rehabilitation Takes Centre Stage is published by Academy Publishing, a division of the Singapore of Law.
Ms Lim's encounter with young offenders started more than 10 years ago when she was posted as a young Magistrate to the Family and Juvenile Court. She recalled that the experience was humbling and sobering. During that time she kept a journal of the cases that she would hear in court - children who were in need of care and protection as well as those who were beyond parental control.
Ms Lim saw a common thread in the life of young offenders like Dinah. Many of them started to get into trouble because they were not properly supervised at home. Most had no constructive activities to occupy their time. Once the juvenile offender got into a pattern of poor achievement and idleness, they go on a downward spiral. But when they were taken into the juvenile system, these offenders had the chance to study, take up hobbies and were assigned counseling and guidance. Their relationships with their families improved and they start making plans for their future.
"I agree with the rehabilitation philosophy of the Juvenile Court – that the mission was not to scold and punish juvenile offenders, but to spur, steer and support positive change in them," said Ms Lim. She is a firm believer that every child that came before the Juvenile Court still has a chance to make good.
Juvenile Justice provides valuable insights into the roles played by the various stakeholders and the community in the treatment of the juvenile offender. Besides case studies, the book provides an analysis of juvenile arrest cases in the past decade and statistics on recidivism rates of juvenile offenders.
In his foreword to the book, Judge of Appeal V K Rajah said that the publication of this book comes at a significant time as the entire family justice framework is likely to undergo a major overhaul in the near future. Compared to other areas of law, little has been written on the subject of juvenile justice and the book will benefit not only lawyers and law students but anyone who is involved in helping troubled young persons on their road to recovery.
Where to buy the book
Juvenile Justice, Where Rehabilitation Takes Centre Stage, priced at S$64.20 (inclusive of GST) is available at major bookstores in Singapore. Orders can also be placed online via the Singapore Academy of Law website www.sal.org.sg. For more information, call 6332 4388.
About the author
Lim Hui Min started her legal career in private practice, doing mainly commercial litigation. She subsequently joined the Subordinate Courts as a Magistrate and was later appointed as a District Judge.
She spent the bulk of her time with the Family and Juvenile Court, where she presided over both family and juvenile court cases. After this, she was seconded to the then Ministry of Community Development Youth and Sports where she worked as a policy officer, helping to design programmes to help low-income families.
Thereafter, she joined the Legal Aid Bureau, where she gave legal help to the less privileged. She is currently Director of the Legal Services Unit at the Ministry of Social and Family Development. She has authored and co-authored numerous publications in the areas of civil procedure, family and juvenile law.

An Affordable Debt Policy for New York State and New York City
How much should New York State and New York City borrow to finance needed public infrastructure investments? In recent years this has become a complex and controversial question. This report seeks to clarify the nature of the issue, to present criteria for deciding how much state and local debt is affordable, and to recommend how these criteria should be applied to decisions by the State and the City. Nature of the Problem Debt has become controversial for four related reasons.
- Debt has grown rapidly.
- Debt has grown despite intended limits.
- New York's debt is greater than other jurisdictions'.
- The outlook is for even greater debt.
An Approach to Measuring Debt Affordability
Do New York State and New York City have too much debt? A sensible and realistic answer to this question should be rooted in the concept of affordability.
Debt affordability refers to the burden associated with repaying debt. To be affordable, the repayment of debt (a) should not cause a jurisdiction's tax rate to increase to uncompetitive levels in order to cover the debt service, and (b) should not require cutbacks in other public services that similarly cause the jurisdiction to become uncompetitive with other areas. That is, repaying debt should not require tax increases or service cutbacks that make a place less attractive than its competitors.
An important implication of this approach is that "too much" is defined relative to other places. The warning signal is not a particular number; rather, it is a position that is relatively far out of line with other places. A measurement of affordability can be thought of as having an upper bound that represents the beginning of a "danger zone" for states and cities.
A second implication of this approach is that affordability should be assessed as a relationship between the amount of debt and the resources available for repayment. Larger and wealthier places can afford more debt than smaller and poorer ones. Thus, affordability can best be measured in terms of a ratio between debt levels and resources available for repaying that debt.
Using this approach to derive policy guidance for New York State and New York City requires applying six analytic steps to the relevant jurisdictions:
- Identify the amount of relevant long-term debt.
- Adjust the amount of long-term debt to include unfunded pension fund liabilities.
- Identify the resources available in the state or local economy to repay the debt.
- Adjust the resources available to account for the division of service and financing responsibilities between the state and its localities.
- Examine the distribution of the ratio of adjusted debt to adjusted resources in order to identify a point that is sufficiently "out of line" with most jurisdictions' practices that it constitutes the beginning of a danger zone.
- Adjust the danger zone threshold to provide a safety margin for an economic downturn.
Each of these steps is described more fully in the report, and supporting data and technical information are presented in the Appendices.
When this analysis is complete, the data provide the basis for two informative calculations. First, one can determine how much debt New York State and New York City could have before entering the danger zone. The answer is that, in 1997, the year of the comparisons, the State should have had $29.2 billion in State-supported debt rather than the $33.1 billion that it actually had. In fiscal 1998, the year from which the City comparative data are drawn, New York City could have incurred $2.1 billion more in debt before reaching the danger zone.
Second, the data can provide a basis for estimating a danger zone threshold for the latest fiscal year, 2000. If the overall measure of resources available for repayment of debt grew at the same rate as the state's personal income, then New York State's debt could have grown from the 1997 threshold of $29.2 billion to $33.8 billion. In fact, New York State's debt grew to $36.8 billion and was therefore $3.0 billion above the projected threshold at the end of fiscal year 2000.
Projecting a growth in New York City's available resources equivalent to its estimated growth in personal income, would suggest that at the end of fiscal year 2000 New York City's actual debt of $36.6 billion was $2.2 billion below the projected danger zone.
The analysis in this report answers the question, how much debt is too much? Based on these findings, the CBC makes three recommendations.
1. New York State's elected leaders should bring the State's debt burden below the danger zone threshold identified in this report, and New York City's leaders should keep their debt below the relevant danger zone threshold.
2. New York City and New York State should create Debt Policy Committees to recommend long-run debt strategies and annual debt issuance limits.
3. The State Constitution should be amended to establish new limits on State and City debt.
The sole safety valve or exception to the limit set based on analysis of affordability should be the will of the electorate. If the voters opt to approve debt for a specific purpose, then such debt should be permitted above the limit set by the independent board. The will of the voters should be supreme, but it should be guided by information on the affordability of debt. The voters should be empowered to go beyond that limit, when and if they are convinced it serves an important public purpose.

7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit… Fortitude
In the previous posts I talked about the Gifts of Wisdom, Understanding, and Counsel…
(1) Wisdom = the desire for the things of God, and to direct our whole life and all our actions to His honor and glory
I did some extensive research on the subject of Wisdom and what the Church and Sacred Scripture has to say about this particular gift that – appropriately so – is the FIRST gift of the Seven Gifts…
The writers of, "Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, The Song of Songs, Wisdom, and Sirach. The writers of the Sapiential Books consider wisdom in its relation to man as the perfection of knowledge showing itself in action." emphasis added…
(2)Understanding – enables us to know more clearly the mysteries of faith
The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches…
The Holy Spirit gives a spiritual understanding of the Word of God to those who read or hear it, according to the dispositions of their hearts. By means of the words, actions, and symbols that form the structure of a celebration, the Spirit puts both the faithful and the ministers into a living relationship with Christ, the Word and Image of the Father, so that they can live out the meaning of what they hear, contemplate, and do in the celebration. ~ CCC§1101, emphasis added
When worshiping God and His Son, those who receive this gift of UNDERSTANDING are more able to give 100% of themselves because they KNOW WHO they are worshiping. They KNOW WHY they are worshiping. And their lives begin to REFLECT that UNDERSTANDING in what they say and do.
(3) Counsel – warns us of the deceits of the devil, and of the dangers to salvation.
"The gift of counsel enables one to judge promptly and correctly what action is to be taken in a particular case… the gift of counsel enables one to decide by a sort of supernatural intuition the correct course of action." ~Encyclopedia Dictionary of the Bible, Welcome to the Catholic Church, CD-ROM, emphasis added
Today we will speak about FORTITUDE…
(3) Fortitude – strengthen us to do the will of God in all things …
Fortitude (sometimes called strength, courage, or might) is also one of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. ~Glossary, Catechism of the Catholic Church
Though there is not much to be said about Fortitude – probably because the word speaks for itself – it is important to note when Fortitude is addressed in the Faith and for what purpose…
During the Rite of Confirmation…
…the bishop extends his hands over the whole group of the confirmands. Since the time of the apostles this gesture has signified the gift of the Spirit. The bishop invokes the outpouring of the Spirit in these words:
All-powerful God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, by water and the Holy Spirit You freed your sons and daughters from sin and gave them new life. Send Your Holy Spirit upon them to be their Helper and Guide. Give them the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of right judgment and courage, the spirit of knowledge and reverence. Fill them with the spirit of wonder and awe in Your presence. We ask this through Christ our Lord
~CCC1299, emphasis added.
Also, Fortitude is also one of the 4 Cardinal Virtues. In the Book of Wisdom, King Solomon speaks on this with regards to the one who gives this virtue – namely Wisdom, which, remember is the FIRST of all 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit:
"For she is instructress in the understanding of God, the selector of His works. And if riches be a desirable possession in life, what is more rich than Wisdom, who produces all things?
And if prudence renders service, who in the world is a better craftsman than she? Or if one loves justice, the fruits of her works are virtues; For she teaches moderation and prudence, justice and fortitude, and nothing in life is more useful for men than these." ~Wisdom 8: 4-7
Adding another complement to the first three gifts, Fortitude brings with it more of the Holy Spirit…
"…as it is written, 'What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love Him,' God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God." ~1Cor 2: 9-10
The Gift of WISDOM
The Gift of UNDERSTANDING
The Gift of COUNSEL
The Gift of KNOWLEDGE
The Gift of PIETY
The Gift of FEAR OF THE LORD

Tory Lanez - Loners Blvd. lyrics
You catch my rock, rolling down Loners Blvd
You've got dreams, keep on dreaming
High school teen, never got accepted
Guess it didn't get to go how I expected
Now a n***a pissed
Steady lookin' at the bottom of the list like
"Where the f** re my projections?"
n***a's like "Next year Tory
It's all good, you'll be next year's story"
Then I said "Man, you don't even understand
Man, I'm droppin' out now, ain't no next year for me"
So I left, bus route to the b**h down 53
Took the last dollar that i had for this dream
And I spent it on some naughty nonsense, Micky D's
sh**, wasn't doin' too fine
Then i made a call to this n***a named Rhymes
Said he had a little studio and it wasn't top-notch
But could damn near do the whole nine
So I said "Cool" made a few songs in this sh**
Stayed too long in this sh**
But by the month, I was there so much
n***a's had to lay futons in this sh**
I was in my mom's Susanne
Drove to my first shows in a new Jetta
Always said one day I would be the man
I would just laugh like, who are you tellin'
Me, I'mma go far
I can still dream in this world full of stars
I can still scheme in this world full of narcs
If they can still scheme and I'm on my car show
I'mma dream, I'mma dream, dream
Dream like you said to me
Best words that were said to me
Best words that were said to me
Ten long miles, from a long way home
I'm headed downtown cause I'm workin' on this lil mixtape
With no fillers, no throwaway songs, hopin' that this sh** just go
Sadly for me, this sh** didn't
So I make another mixtape and another mixtape and another mixtape
'Til them n***a's start sayin' sh**'s hidden
Then I meet a guy named Sascha , he tells me he's thinkin' 'bout takin' up management
Say he got a million dollar empire on his mind, he just need an artist to plan it with
He also say he throw shows out in Texas and maybe I should open up for one
Then I say "Cool man' he books me the next flight out like I'm showin' up for somethin'
I lay down Houston around nine, warehouse live
Was my worst show ever, n***a's damn near got boo'd off stage
I performed my first live show ever
[Lyrics from: https:/lyrics.az/tory-lanez/i-told-you/loners-blvd.html]
Women in the crowd would scream for a n***a
n***a's in the crowd they was [?] up down
Bad enough n***a's let Bun B watch
But I feel like I let Sascha down, sh** was live on stage dog
That night felt like a n***a had the whole world on my shoulders
Twenty years old tryna find the one spot in this world gettin' colder
Then he came to me like, "Dog, I could put money on this, bet a hundred on this"
Gives me a few tips for the next night, set list says
Dog you can run it on this
And it all works out
It's a big world
The bigger your dream, the bigger you're livin' it
It's all in your mind
Don't let no body f** up your high
It's a big world
The bigger your dream, the bigger you're livin' it
It's all in your mind
Don't let no body f** up your high
[Phone Voicemail:]
Father, I lift up my son, I lift up anyone that travels with him and by his speed I pray that you go ahead of him...I a**ign angels right now to this a**ignment and I declare Father that they will go before you to make straight his path, I command that every crooked path would be made straight, every rough place would be made smooth, every obstacle, every barricade, every blockade, every conspiracy, every trap, right now is destroyed and removed out of his way in the name of Jesus. And I thank you that it is written that goodness and love and mercy, form all the things of our life...
That was it, I had hit rock bottom, lowest point of my life. Just me, the music and a couple quarters in my pocket. Then it hit me...the phone call that would change my life
[Phone Call - Mike, Tory Lanez & Other:]

It can get boring around here. I try to change up the coffee mugs for a little variety. I occasionally try something new in the kitchen. But I don't worry about it too much because another way to look at "boring" is "routine."
Routine is good. I feel like I've developed my routines well and the more they're developed, the easier they fit into my daily life. The easier my routines fit into my daily life, the better chance I have for continued success in maintenance mode. Boring? Okay, I'm good with this.
I believe the secret is to accept boring, or uh...routine in my fundamental elements of recovery stream and develop exciting changes and tweaks to my life stream. Now that's where I want the opposite of boring in my life!!
The late, great Dr. Wayne Dyer said "When you change the way you look at things, things change." Simple and powerful words. And when you apply this and you get results confirming its validity, you quickly realize the brilliance in those simple and very powerful words.
Too many times in my life I've developed what many in recovery circles refer to as "contempt prior to investigation." When contemplating the plan to recover from relapse and regain--including what I referred to at the time as "extreme accountability measures," it would have been very easy to say:
"No way--that will not work for me. It sounds obsessive and a little much. I don't want to get all crazy-over board with this stuff. Logging everything in MyFitnessPal is a challenge enough--let alone taking a picture and tweeting the photo, description and calorie count of everything that goes in my face-- forget it, no way. I can't do that. Oh--and writing a blog post every night to recap the day??? Are you kidding??? I don't have time for that anymore! All that and also abstain from refined sugar??? Have you lost your marbles??? What?? I need to reach out for support from like minded people? Next thing you'll tell me is I must get in touch with my spiritual-meditative side... oh, no you didn't!!"
All of those thoughts crossed my mind at the beginning of this turnaround from relapse/regain.
Out of desperation, I had to immediately change the way I looked at all of these things.
Instead of looking at these things as some kind of overwhelming burden, I had to look at them as life lines back to a healthy weight--like a rail to hold onto, or crutches to hold me up, giving mobility in the direction I desired.
Suddenly, these things changed.
Instead of finding all the reasons why I couldn't do it, I started developing ways I could absolutely do it and do it well, with passion and commitment. I gave these the importance level they deserved for an honest shot. And every now and again, in the beginning-- I felt silly, I felt obsessive and I projected these thoughts in assumptive ways about what others must think witnessing this show of sorts. But then, something happened.
I felt stronger. After a couple of weeks, it was as if the "binge switch" was turned off. I was getting my confidence back. When I realized that these new elements were giving me a solid foundation to work from, I started not caring about what these "extreme accountability measures" must look like. They were working.
I remember when I first realized how different things felt, I became emotional in a wonderfully happy and relieved way. Because at one point during my darkest days of relapse/regain, I seriously thought there was no way back. I felt completely lost and now I found hope and peace--and in this, I was led into epiphanies about self-worth and identity that totally blew my mind in monumental ways.
Now, not only did I change the way I looked at the fundamental elements of my recovery, I also changed the way I looked at me and when you change the way you look at things, things change.
I'm blessed and immensely grateful.
Today was good. I took care of things I needed to take care of at work because I'm off the rest of the week except for two location broadcasts scheduled for New Years Eve. I prepared some fantastic food. Except something was missing, food wise. Go ahead, scroll down and see if you notice what's missing in those tweets. I was out of fruit!!!!! I can't believe I allowed this to happen. I really thought I had some remaining in the crisper for today--but nope, not a single apple.
I did replenish my supply this evening, so tomorrow the fruit returns!
I'm looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow morning. I'm also looking forward to my annual Year In Review Post tomorrow night, complete with a pictorial tour of 2015.
I have some exciting announcements to make in the coming days, including a big interview on a very popular online radio show (more details coming soon), the opening of registrations for the next 10 week session of group support conference calls I co-facilitate with Life Coach Gerri and I'll be announcing my very first LIVE One-Day weight loss seminar/workshop happening on January 16th from 1 to 5pm at the Renfro Center in Ponca City, Oklahoma! I'll have a link to a registration page available within 48 hours or less.
I'm also excited about doing stand-up guest sets this weekend at the new comedy club in my hometown.
My rib situation (I believe to be a muscular issue instead of skeletal) has healed nicely. I've decided to return to regular workouts tomorrow. I'm still planning on laying off the upper body strength training for at least another week, maybe longer, but cardio and lower body strength training--I'm ready to get back in there.

Get me some of that gumbo
- 3-4 lbs. of chicken (white or dark meat will do, but it must be boneless)
- 1 lbs. Andouille sausage
- 2 cups diced yellow onion
- 1 cup diced green bell peppers
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1/4 cup diced green onions
- 2 tbl. fresh, chopped parsley
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 quarts of chicken broth (about 10 cups)
- 3 bay leaves
- 1/2 tsp. Thyme (powdered or leaf)
- Chopped garlic to taste
- Salt
- Cayenne Pepper
- Black Pepper
- Cumin
1. Wash and clean the chicken. Place 1 cup of the flour in a bowl and mix in salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and cumin to taste. Coat the chicken in the flour mixture to prepare for light frying.
2. Heat a skillet to medium heat and add 1 cup of vegetable oil. When it reaches temperature, fry the chicken. We aren't looking to cook the chicken, merely get a golden crust on the chicken and have some of the juices seep into the oil. Remove the chicken and set aside.
3. The single most important step to things, we now have to make a roux. The roux is going to add a lot of flavor to this dish, as well as helping to thicken it. For this roux, use the cup of vegetable oil you fried the chicken in, and the second cup of flour . If you screw up the roux you WILL ruin the dish. If you have never made a roux before, click here for a guide.
4. After finishing the roux, add the onions, celery, and bell peppers to it and saute until the vegetables are wilted, stirring constantly, This should take around 10 minutes. As soon as you add the vegetables, being bringing the chicken stock to a boil in a SEPARATE pot.
5. Once the chicken stock is boiling and the vegetables have wilted, SLOWLY add the roux mixture to the chicken stock. I recommend adding a few spoonfuls, and then thoroughly mixing it with the chicken stock. If you don't mix it will the roux will settle at the bottom of the pot and your gumbo will just be soup.
6. Once all the roux is completely mixed in, add the thyme, bay leaves, and garlic. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 30 minutes.
7. Take the chicken and andouille and dice into small pieces, then add to the gumbo. Bring to a rolling boil and then reduce to a simmer for at least an hour. I recommend 2-3 hours if possible.
8. Once done, add the green onions and parsley shortly before serving over a bed of plain white rice.

"Don't greet your husband at the door with a catalogue of the dreadful crimes committed by servants during the day"
"Don't think it beneath you to put your husbands slippers ready for him. On a cold evening, especially, it makes all the difference to his comfort if the soles are warmed through"
hee hee - highly unlikely that I obey either of these rules (since we have neither servants or slippers!)
However, I think I can manage this one (for all us crafters)

I did a lot of rearranging and adding improvements in my shop and now I'm back to knife making and it feels good.

Corona is looking healthy and relaxed in the late afternoon.
Her visitors also were very calm and peaceful.
What? You don't see them??
Let's zoom in.
It's hard to estimate their numbers, but they may have been over AML. 🙂
There were quite a few more than shown in this image as the herd stretched out across one of the upper hillsides above Spring Creek canyon. The basin is a welcome wintering ground for mule deer and elk. When the snow in the high(er) country is very deep, these animals become our close neighbors again. After the pressures of hunting season, we're happy to welcome them!

Prince Harry doesn't need to spend hours figuring out how to romance Meghan Markle. For inspiration, Harry just has to turn to his sister-in-law Kate Middleton and brother Prince William, who succeeded in turning love into a long-lasting marriage, complete with storybook-perfect kids. But the question of whether Queen Elizabeth approves of Prince Harry's romance with Meghan has remained a topic for tabloids, with some claiming that both she and Camilla Parker Bowles don't approve of Markle. As the Inquisitr reported, rumors have soared that Camilla has even conducted a "smear campaign" against Meghan.
Prince William Inspires Prince Harry's Romance
With the speculation about when, where, and whether Prince Harry will propose to Markle swirling, the Express reported that Kate Middleton and Prince William hold the romantic keys to the clues.
"Prince Harry seems to have taken inspiration from Prince William's gifts to Kate Middleton."
When Prince William proposed to Kate, he used the engagement ring that his father gave to Princess Diana. Taking his cues from his brother, Harry reportedly is on the verge of giving Markle a watch that belonged to Princess Diana.
Meghan's half-brother Tom Markle Jr. is thrilled at the signs that Prince Harry is serious. He described her as having "won the lottery of life" if they wed. Tom expressed his pride in learning that the "the family's princess" is set to become "a real princess."
Prince Harry's Royal Relatives Clash On Whether To Support Or Scorn Meghan Markle
Although Markle's half-brother approves, the royal family members tend to be much more private when it comes to revealing their views. Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams pointed out that the flock already reigns as "the world's most high profile royal family." It's thought that Meghan's show business and activism background will enhance that fame.
However, as the Inquisitr reported, Kate Middleton is rumored to be furious that the spotlight has shifted from her third pregnancy to Prince Harry's romance. In addition to Camilla's alleged smear campaign against Markle, the Queen was described as viewing Meghan as too sassy and loud rather than classy and soft-spoken like Kate.
But something seems to have changed the Queen's mind, causing her to move from the royal camp against Prince Harry's girlfriend to the team favoring Markle. Now to Love reported that Queen Elizabeth just made a stunning gesture indicating that she supports Harry's romance.
Queen Elizabeth Chooses Sides: This Could Change Everything
With the power that Queen Elizabeth has on everything from when to announce wedding dates to which countries to visit, her sweet present welcoming Meghan to the royal family is viewed as highly significant. It could mean that not just the engagement announcement but the wedding date is closer than anyone imagined.
"Her Majesty has opened up the royal vault for the 36-year-old. In a dream come true, Meghan will be able to have her pick of tiaras to wear on the big day!"
If Kate Middleton and Camilla Parker Bowles can let go of their alleged negative feelings toward Markle, choosing which tiara to flaunt on her wedding day could turn into a very special occasion that bonds Prince Harry's girlfriend with his sister-in-law and stepmother.
Meghan's sparkling choices include the Strathmore Rose tiara, Queen Mary's Fringe tiara, Lotus Flower tiara, and the Teck Crescent tiara. And like so many treasures handed down from generation to generation in the royal family, each one holds a special significance. Queen Elizabeth wore the Fringe tiara on her wedding day, while Kate Middleton turned heads when she wore the Lotus Flower tiara.
Kate Middleton Versus Meghan Markle: Queen Fuels Feud?
According to Celeb Dirty Laundry, Kate has been worried about the possibility of Queen Elizabeth opening up her treasure chest of gems for Meghan.
"Kate Middleton is worried that Queen Elizabeth might let Meghan Markle dip into her jewelry box the same way she has been doing for several years now."
Middleton has been seen flaunting Queen Elizabeth's jewelry on the red carpet. The possibility that Prince Harry's girlfriend will follow Kate's lead is reportedly upsetting to the pregnant mom of two. After Harry and Meghan marry, Middleton will have to share the spotlight when it comes to who has the best relationship with Queen Elizabeth as indicated by wearing her jewelry.

Recipe swap time again! The category for this swap was Celebrity recipes. It was actually pretty hard for me to pick out a recipe to submit. I didn't realize that I rarely blog any recipes made by celebrities anymore. Luckily though, I do have a few on here. For this swap, I was given Cathy's blog, Cathy's Kitchen Journey and her adaptation of Tyler Florence's Shrimp Scampi.
Recipes like shrimp scampi make me sad for all of the years I refused to eat shrimp any way other than steamed (peel-n-eat for you non-Marylanders). Shrimp, butter, garlic and pasta. What could be a better combination?Print
Recipe Swap: Shrimp Scampi
- Yield: 2 1x
- Category: Seafood
- 2 tbsp. unsalted butter, divided
- 2 tbsp. olive oil, divided
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large shallot, minced
- 1/8 – 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes (or more if you like)
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice, optional
- 1/2 lb. shrimp, peeled and de-veined
- 1/3 lb. fettuccine
- 1 tsp. parsley
- salt and pepper to taste
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic, shallots and red pepper flakes. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the shallots are translucent.
3. Add the white wine and lemon juice and let bubble for 2-3 minutes or until most of the liquid has burned off.
4. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and add to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
5. Add the remaining butter and olive oil and stir until the butter has melted. Drain the pasta and add into the skillet. Toss to coat.
6. Serve the shrimp and pasta garnished with parsley and with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Adapted from: Cathy's Kitchen Journey
Tom isn't a fan of lemon in savory dishes so I always just use the juice from a slice of lemon to add to my plate individually. This was great, we both really enjoyed it and I definitely plan on making it this way again.

Housing benefit could be cut by over 10% in George Osborne's July Budget as the government attempts to deliver its commitment to reduce welfare spending by £12 billion in two years.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies said today that the pledge to protect child benefit from the social security cuts means HB, along with tax credits and disability/incapacity benefits, would "most likely" take the biggest hit.
Carl Emmerson, IFS deputy director, explained: "One area where the Conservatives' manifesto commits to make cuts is in social security spending (outside of protected spending on state pensions and universal pensioner benefits). But finding the sought after £12 billion of cuts in just two years will not be easy.
"Cuts of this scale amount to almost 10% of unprotected benefits. Finding such a reduction without cutting child benefit, which has been pledged this week, would mean that even more significant cuts would likely be required to spending on one or more of tax credits, housing benefit and disability & incapacity benefits."
Emmerson also suggested that the Department for Communities and Local Government was at risk from the chancellor's spending cuts, which could have significant implications for future housebuilding programmes.
He said: "To meet its overall spending target, even delivering the £12 billion of cuts to social security spending would still leave the government needing a slight acceleration of cuts to departmental spending, compared to what we have seen since 2010–11."
Emmerson added: "These cuts in departmental spending are to be far from evenly spread. Spending on overseas aid and the NHS is set to continue increasing in real terms, while schools' spending per pupil is to be protected in cash terms. As we set out in our analysis of the main parties' manifestos prior to the general election, this requires cuts elsewhere averaging 15.3% (or £30.0 billion) over the three years between 2015–16 and 2018–19.
"In other words two years of overall spending being cut by 1% a year, followed by a year in which overall spending is frozen, quickly becomes a 5.4% a year cut, for three years, for a swathe of public services. That would see a cumulative cut to these other unprotected departments over the eight years from 2010–11 of 32.9%.
"These unprotected areas include spending by the Ministry of Defence, the Home Office, the Ministry of Justice, the Department for Communities and Local Government, the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills, and the Department for Transport.
"Protecting defence from any further real cuts – which would still leave its budget falling further as a share of national income – would increase the cuts elsewhere over the next three years to 18.7%, and the cuts over the eight years from 2010–11 to 36.9%."

TOKYO/NEW YORK -- Five years after buying U.S. telecommunications company Sprint and launching talks with T-Mobile parent Deutsche Telekom to combine the two subsidiaries, SoftBank Group Chairman Masayoshi Son has decided to relinquish control of the carrier he spent nearly $22 billion to acquire.
The decision comes as Son realizes that neither Sprint nor T-Mobile would be able to keep up with American market front-runners Verizon Communications and AT&T as they prepare to roll out 5G services, unless the weaker two contenders joined forces.
It also comes as the Japanese entrepreneur's passions shift from telecommunications to artificial intelligence, the "internet of things" and smart robotics.
Ever since the Japanese telecom bought Sprint in 2013, Son had been working to merge America's No. 4 mobile phone carrier with its third-ranked rival T-Mobile. Doing so would shift the duopoly of Verizon and AT&T to a "three-heavyweight fight," he said in a 2014 appearance on the Charlie Rose Show. Son noted that internet speeds in the U.S. are slow, blaming this on a lack of competition.
But Softbank's first set of talks with Deutsche Telekom collapsed in 2014, after the U.S. Federal Communications Commission said the deal would not be in consumers' best interest.
A second round of negotiations fell apart last November, amid conflicts over control of the merged unit's operations. Both Softbank and Deutsche Telekom insisted on a controlling stake.
This third round of talks took only a month. The launch of 5G technology, which is said to be 100 times faster than the current 4G and will be the basis for various next-generation services like autonomous driving and internet of things, will require tremendous amounts of investment for network infrastructure and data centers. Sprint and T-Mobile plan to spend $40 billion on 5G networks post-merger.
Son agreed to let go of Sprint's reins, recognizing the pressing issues at hand.
A successful merger would let SoftBank take Sprint off its consolidated balance sheet by the fiscal year ending March 2020. The unit carried $36.8 billion in debt at the end of 2017, accounting for nearly 30% of the group total. Annual interest payments in excess of $2 billion have put Sprint deep in the red.
By shedding this financial burden, SoftBank would be able to devote more attention to investments through its $100 billion Vision Fund, raising its profile in fields such as robotics and artificial intelligence. The company is shifting focus from wireless infrastructure to service offerings built on these next-generation technologies.
Son's waning interest in wireless infrastructure may have made him more willing to give up control. The chairman told reporters in New York on March 27 that the Vision Fund would work with Saudi Arabia on a $200 billion solar farm, calling the solar power project unprecedented in scale.
Son said when announcing April-December earnings in February that Softbank was considering a variety of options for Sprint, but has since spoken little about U.S. wireless operations. He appears more excited about the Vision Fund's prospects, saying he spends time "every day" to assess prospective investments.
"I can't help it -- it's so much fun," he said.
Sprint and T-Mobile must now convince U.S. regulators to accept the deal. John Legere, president of T-Mobile, argues that the convergence of wireless, broadband and streaming video markets pits carriers not only against each other, but also against cable television companies. "This isn't a case of going from four to three wireless companies -- there are now at least seven or eight big competitors," he said in a statement Sunday.
Legere also touted the merger's benefits for employment, saying the combination and resulting investment would create thousands of American jobs. But while this may endear the deal to President Donald Trump, who has pledged to bring jobs to rural areas, antitrust regulators may take a dimmer view. The two companies together control more than 50% of the prepaid cell phone market, and some believe their merger could drive up rates in that arena.
Sprint shares are down more than 15% Monday in the wake of the announcement. T-Mobile has fallen more than 7%.

Peninsula Council for Workforce Development
The Peninsula Council for Workforce Development (Workforce Council) continues to be a vital partner when it comes to meeting the workforce development needs of Newport News' businesses and citizens. In 2016, the Workforce Council provided critical support for a number of job fairs for individual companies, as well as job fairs highlighting the needs of multiple employers. In many cases, staff provides employers with pre-screening of applicants, so that participating companies can enjoy a more streamlined experience, which results in a higher number of placements with fewer personnel hours expended. The organization also offers access to a variety of training services and career education opportunities for the unemployed and underemployed in Newport News and the surrounding areas.
This year the Workforce Council continued to serve as one of the main connections between local school systems, the community college system and employers. This connection is critical to ensuring that established career pathways and certification programs continue to meet the current and emerging needs of the business community, while also putting our young people on a path to future career success.

The Steep slope harvester CH 500
The harvester can reap in slopes of up to 75% and as the harvesting head is attached to the crawler one only needs a single lane to work in the vineyard. This allows harvesting in terraced vineyards for the first time. Through its long and wide landing gear with a 1,2 m2 contact area the weight is well spread. Thus the ground pressure is lower than the one of a standard tractor. The machine is secured by a winch with 1.500 kg pulling force which is regulated electronically. On his way back up the driver opens the harvesting head and drives along the row.
The machine is equipped with a modern digital control which ensures a consistent harvesting quality. The System includes programs for different grape varieties, a billing system for the contractors as well as a washing system. The settings can be adjusted individually.

Barrington Jedidiah Walker is seventy-four and leads a double life. Born and bred in Antigua, he's lived in Hackney since the sixties. A flamboyant, wise-cracking local character with a dapper taste in retro suits and a fondness for quoting Shakespeare, Barrington is a husband, father and grandfather - but he is also secretly homosexual, lovers with his great childhood friend, Morris. His deeply religious and disappointed wife, Carmel, thinks he sleeps with other women. When their marriage goes into meltdown, Barrington wants to divorce Carmel and live with Morris, but after a lifetime of fear and deception, will he manage to break away? Mr Loverman is a ground-breaking exploration of Britain's older Caribbean community, which explodes cultural myths and fallacies and shows the extent of what can happen when people fear the consequences of being true to themselves.

A holiday accommodation is a kind of lodging for travellers who need to stay away from their homes for a number of days or overnight. Generally, an ideal holiday accommodation provides shelter, food and space to store baggage and belongings. Apart from these, most of them also cater to other important needs such as laundry. You can book from among these following types of accommodation options when in Hervey Bay according to your preference and budget.
Guest houses :-
A guest house is a private home similar to a hostel, small hotel or B&B. Usually in this type of accommodation, the owner stays within the property but in a different area. It is inexpensive and ideal for tourists who want a home-like experience away from home.
Resorts :-
Resorts are mostly located around tourist locations such as beaches, theme parks, deserts etc. They cater mainly to people who travel for the purpose of leisure. Apart from offering various amenities, resorts can provide recreational facilities like swimming pools, barbecue areas, landscaped gardens and so on.
Cottages and villas :-
These types of accommodations are suitable for families who want a peaceful retreat away from their everyday chores. They are usually larger than hotel rooms and provide a lot of privacy to the guests. They have a dining room, kitchen and bedroom(s).
Holiday apartments :-
Holiday apartments are ideal for people who wish to take care of things on their own terms. Most holiday apartments in Hervey Bay come equipped with laundries and well-facilitated kitchens, in addition to spacious living areas. An individual can thus easily cook his or her own meals and even order continental breakfast in the morning. Besides that, holiday apartments are quite inexpensive and suitable for vacationers with a tight budget.
Bed and breakfasts :-
B&B are accommodation facilities that provide hotel-style rooms to guests. They are usually cheaper than hotels and provide an opportunity to interact with other occupants as well as the owner of the residence. Unlike hotel rooms, B&B are safe and provide a homely atmosphere.
Motels :-
Motels are also a type of lodging specifically for motorists. Guests are provided with a huge parking space for their vehicles while they rest for the night in guest rooms. This accommodation is relatively cheaper than hotels and the rooms are generally connected to each other. Unless, the rooms are full-booked, motels tend to operate day and night to provide shelter for people driving by.
Tourists from every nook and corner of the world travel to Hervey Bay for whale watching or other purposes. If you are planning a trip to this place, these are some of the accommodation facilities you can choose from.

Free Political Institutions : Preface
Revolt Library >> Anarchism >> Free Political Institutions >> Alpha Material : Preface
(1808 - 1887) ~ Individualist Anarchist and Unitarian Christian Abolitionist : The greatest natural rights thinker of the 19th century was the American lawyer and maverick individualist Lysander Spooner. He responded to the tumultuous events of his era, including the Panic of 1837 and the Civil War, with pamphlets about natural rights, slavery, money, trial by jury and other timely subjects. (From : Jim Powell Bio.)
• "There is no particle of truth in the notion that the majority have a right to rule, or exercise arbitrary power over, the minority simply because the former are more numerous than the latter. Two men have no more natural right to rule one than one has to rule two." (From : "Free Political Institutions," by Lysander Spooner.)
• "The doctrine that the majority have a right to rule proceeds upon the principle that minorities have no right in the government; for certainly the minority cannot be said to have any rights in a government so long as the majority alone determine what their rights shall be." (From : "Free Political Institutions," by Lysander Spooner.)
• "Again, the doctrine that the minority ought to submit to the will of the majority proceeds, not upon the principle that government is formed by voluntary association and for an agreed purpose on the part of all who contribute to its support, but upon the presumption that all government must be practically a state of war and plunder between opposing parties..." (From : "Free Political Institutions," by Lysander Spooner.)
Perhaps the argument most frequently used by conservative believers in the convenient doctrine of leaving things as they are against those engaged in reformatory efforts of a more or less radical nature is that the "spirit and genius of American institutions" do not admit of the assimilation or acceptance of the proposed innovations. Were one to trust them, the "American institutions" are something so clearly defined, finished, and powerful as to absolutely render it impossible for any inconsistent and discordant element to maintain a vigorous existence within the charmed circle which affords chances of life only to what necessarily and logically flows as a consequence from the fundamental principles supporting the peculiar civilization of this "best government on the face of the earth." We are asked to look upon all that "is," if not as unqualifiedly right and perfect, then as relatively so in the sense of its being the unavoidable outcome of primary conditions.
This fact alone would amply justify our curiosity to learn thoroughly the essence and import of these "institutions," especially since manifold serious evils, universally considered destructive of social equipoise and progress, seem to flourish in our midst without restraint.
But we are moved to such an inquiry by still another circumstance. Besides the easy-going conservative who hurls the epithet "un-American" at the head of anybody contemplating innocent improvements of vexatious misarrangements, there is a large class of men, earnest and determined reformers, who, in working for a gigantic plan of social reorganization, make the same claim of strict fidelity to the logic and spirit of American principles, not only as against those resisting reform as such, but also-and even with greater emphasis-as against other schools of radical reform which oppose them, not because they strive for renovation and change, but because their ideas of the needful, and the desirable, and the truly salutary differ materially. Indeed, every school of reform boasts of exclusive understanding of and jealous care for the "self-evident" maxims on which the opportunities, and possibilities, and prospects of this land of labor and freedom are built.
Now, what shall we believe? Whom shall we follow? Which of the conflicting opinions is most nearly right, if any one is so? Is everything as it should be? If not, in what direction is betterment to be sought? Are State Socialists and Nationalists right: must the function of government be enlarged and extended, and will the completion of the Jeffersonian structure consist in the triumphant adoption of the entire collectivist program? Or is Anarchism the true doctrine and the removal of the last and least vestige of State compulsion to be demanded and achieved? In a word, what is the meaning of political freedom; whither does it lead us; with what does it inspire us?
For an answer to these important questions the reader is confidently referred to the following pages, which represent an abridgment and rearrangement of Lysander Spooner's remarkable work on "Trial by jury." At the time of its publication Mr. Spooner had no affiliation with any reform movement, and had no special cause to plead, but was simply a private American citizen, a jurist, and an unbiassed student of political science and history. His discussion of the nature, essence, logic, and maintenance of political freedom is so masterful, convincing, and conclusive that it cannot fail to enlighten public opinion on the subject and enable one to form a criterion by which to pass upon the various interpretations of the "American Idea." This work entitles Mr. Spooner to the gratitude and admiration of all the liberty-loving and tyranny-detesting. No one who aspires intelligently to defend or forcibly to assail political independence should neglect to. consider Mr. Spooner's elucidation of its real significance and character.
It is hoped that the present publication will serve yet another purpose. Many of those to whose minds individualistic views appear attractive and rational hesitate to express a positive opinion in consequence of the thousand-and-one questions of detail and practical difficulty which rush into their heads and to the settlement of which they do not see their way. Of course a casuistic philosophy is an absurdity, but generalization and abstraction are not sufficient. Life is too complex to be covered by a simple formula, though first principles we must have. Mr. Spooner successfully demonstrates that the highest justice and equity can be secured under complete freedom and that they have nothing to fear from the dissolution of the State who are prepared to do unto others as they would be done by.
One word more. As the end sought by this republication is distinct from that of the original publication, I could not avoid changes and alterations. Mr. Spooner's intention was to discredit and denounce the perversion of trial by jury and to promulgate the correct and legitimate system by which alone free political relations could be preserved. The explanation of the nature of such relations was of secondary importance. I am here, on the contrary, chiefly concerned with this side of the problem. This necessitated abridgment as well as rearrangement. I was obliged to reduce to subordination that which was dominant and to raise into prominence that which was tributary. Lest I may be criticized for taking so unceremonious a liberty, I will anticipate my critics by requesting the reader to attribute all the merits and good qualities of this edition to Mr. Spooner's ability, while laying the responsibility for all its faults and imperfections at my door.

- Box Office Report (Brought to you by AMC Theatres)
- Peyton Reed talks about the Wasp's role in Ant-Man and the Wasp
- Roland Emmerich set to direct Moonfall for Universal
- Warner Bros. courting Justin Lin for live-action Akira
- Nicolas Winding-Refn wants to direct a Batgirl movie

Paramount has released the final Star Trek Beyond trailer online, showing us more of the story about the Enterprise into their five-year mission when a mysterious force attacks the crew forcing them to survive on an unknown planet; all set to the music of Rihanna's new song Sledgehammer. The film opens July 22nd and stars Idris Elba, Chris Pine, Simon Pegg, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, John Cho, Anton Yelchin, and Karl Urban.
It's Monday which means it's time for the weekend box office report brought to you by our friends at AMC theatres. Audiences continued to find Dory this weekend with the sequel to Finding Nemo showing plenty of box office staying power. Finding Dory easily took the No. 1 spot with $73.2 million declining only 46% and generating the eighth-highest second weekend of all time. Dory is already the sixth-highest domestic grosser of 2016 after ten days with $285.6 million — less than $100 million short of the final total for the original. Taking the No. 2 spot was Independence Day: Resurgence, pulling in a disappointing $41.6 million. The movie finished about 20% below recent forecasts, which had the sequel matching the $50 million opening weekend from the 1996 original. In the No. 3 spot was Central Intelligence, pulling in $18.4 million for a domestic total of $69.3 million. Blake Lively's shark tale The Shallows took the No. 4 spot, performing above forecasts with $16.7 million dollars. And at No. 5, Matthew McConaughey's historical drama Free State of Jones, with $7.8 million dollars.
Though Ant-Man went through a major upheaval before principle production began when original director Edgar Wright exited due to creative differences, the movie was shepherded to to the finish line by Peyton Reed, enjoying a positive response in the process, a successful box office and a recent Saturn Award for best comic adaptation. The second movie was given the green light with the same creative team back for Ant-Man and the Wasp, which is currently slated for a 2018 release date, following Avengers: Infinity Wars – Part 1. Speaking with Modern Myth Media at the recent Saturn Award, Reed confirmed that the film will deal directly with the aftermath of Captain America: Civil War. He also went on to talk about how Evangeline Lilly's Wasp will figure into the new narrative, saying it's something he's excited about. To show her fully formed in this movie is really exciting as she's not a supporting character in this movie. It's every bit as much her movie as it is Scott Lang's. Ant-Man and the Wasp is scheduled for release on July 6, 2018.
Though Independence Day: Resurgence underperformed at the box office this weekend, director Roland Emmerich isn't slowing down. Thanks to a report from Entertainment Weekly, the director will next helm Moonfall, a film based on a spec script recently acquired by Universal Pictures. Written by Emmerich, Harold Kloser, and Spencer Cohen, the story is described as a collision between 2012 and Close Encounters of the Third Kind that tells the story an unlikely band of misfits who must unite to save humanity when the moon falls out of orbit and comes crashing down on Earth. Emmerich and Kloser have worked together on several films before including White House Down, The Day After Tomorrow, and 10,000 B.C. A release date has yet to be set.
A report surfaced a year ago that Warner Bros. had commissioned a new script for a live-action Akira adaptation from the second season showrunner of Daredevil, Marco J. Ramirez; with another rumor later saying Christopher Nolan was also involved in the project, helping plan it for a possible trilogy. From the latest episode of Meet the Movie Press, film reporter Jeff Sneider revealed Warner Bros. is now actively courting Justin Lin to sign on to direct Akira. Akira tells the story of a metropolis built on the ashes of a Tokyo annihilated by an apocalyptic blast of unknown origin that triggered World War III. The lives of two streetwise teenage friends, Tetsuo and Kaneda, change forever when dormant paranormal abilities begin to waken in Tetsuo, who becomes a target for a shadowy government agency. The studio has yet to officially confirm Justin Lin's involvement as this time.
This weekend saw the release of Nicolas Winding Refn's The Neon Demon in a limited capacity. Next up is a French mini-series about an elite police squad but beyond that, only rumors have pointed at what the Danish filmmaker's next feature will be. However, just this week, he expressed interest in a bigger property that happens to be under the DC Comics banner. According to a report from Business Insider, Refn said he'd love to direct a big budget studio movie and is especially interested in the story of Barbara Gordon, known as Batgirl. He said he would love to make one, but just doesn't know if it could happen because he loves his freedom creatively.
A new big screen version of Masters of the Universe has been in the works for years with various writers penning new drafts, but no version has gotten anywhere near a greenlight in front of the camera. The latest attempt is over at Sony Pictures with Charlie's Angels director McG in talks to bring He-Man to the big screen and now it sounds like the filmmaker is meeting with potential stars for the movie. Kellan Lutz, who found fame with a supporting role in The Twilight Saga and following it up with The Legend of Hercules, recently revealed that he met with McG specifically about the Masters of the Universe movie. Lutz posted to Twitter, telling Masters of the Universe fans that he had an amazing meeting with McG and his Wonderland production president Mary Viola, and that the project is in good hands. No official word has been given on the casting so this could be a simple meeting to start.
20th Century Fox has released the first full Morgan trailer online. The movie is the debut film from Luke Scott, son of Ridley Scott, and stars Kate Mara as a corporate troubleshooter sent to evaluate a terrifying incident at a remote, top-secret lab where she discovers scientists have created a new form of evil inhabiting a human form. Morgan is played by The Witch star Anya Taylor-Joy alongside Rose Leslie, Boyd Holbrook, Michelle Yeoh, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Paul Giamatti. It opens in theatres on September 2nd.
Rashad Hardrick writes
Hey Collider Crew! My question refers to the divisive response of Batman v Superman. Ever since the movie was released in March people have been discussing/debating the movie and the conversations are still going to this day. With the release of the R-rated Extended Blu-ray being released soon fans are talking about BvS even more. The recent Justice League set-visit news has gotten people very intrigued and Ben Affleck has even confirmed that Justice League will have a major presence at Comic Con this year. I believe that because of the divisive BvS, the release of the R-rated Extended Cut and the Justice League news fans are more curious/anxious about the DCU than ever, which is a great thing. What are your thoughts? Do you feel that the response to BvS has actually had an unusually positive effect?
Robert Johnson writes:
I went to see Central Intelligence (PG-13) and the Sausage Party trailer played. There were children in the audience that screamed in terror during the kitchen scene. Do you think there will be any parents who see the poster alone and take their kids to see Sausage Party? Could that be a problem?

Even though a divorce is wrought with frustration and anger, it is important to make sure that children are protected from it. It is also essential for the welfare of a child to continue receiving emotional and financial support from both parents. At Rhodes Law Firm LLC, we use our considerable experience to help families through the trials and tribulations of a divorce, and reach an amicable resolution regarding the well-being of their children.
Maryland courts determine child custody based on the child's best interests, which is influenced by a variety of factors including the history of each parent, as well as the needs of the child. Most courts assume that that a child should have guidance and support from both parents. This is why joint custody is awarded in many cases. However, there may be times when the court feels that sole custody to one parent or the other will be more beneficial for the child.
At Rhodes Law Firm, LLC help all our clients understand the relevant laws and work towards a resolution that benefits both the child and the client. In case a child custody agreement cannot be reached, we are able to assist you with court-appointed psychological evaluations, guardian ad litem, and more.
Every child in Maryland has the right to be financially supported by both parents. These rights cannot be waived by the parents, and will be enforced after a divorce. Child support payments take into account various factors such as the number of children and the income of both parents to allocate responsibility for:
We work with our clients to negotiate child support issues and make sure that all sources of income are considered when calculating payments. At Rhodes Law Firm, LLC, we provide the best possible legal guidance in establishing or modifying child support payments. Contact us today at (301) 332-4774 for a consultation.
