31% of Pulse Nigeria Poll voters have advised Stanley to call the bluff os his pastor's wife and stop sleeping with her for his own good.
He wants to get married and settle down with his fiancee but the woman is not ready to let him go as she has promised to make his life a hell for him.
What should he do now that he is between the rock and the deep sea?
Read his story here
"My name is Stanley, a 29-year-old man. I work and live in Lagos. I have a very dark secret that has been threatening to crush me but the problem is that I can't help myself.
I am the choirmaster as well as a worker in a pentecostal church. The problem is that I have been sleeping with my GO's wife for the past two years and now that I am set to get married, she has refused to cut off the relationship and has vowed to invoke evil on me if I stopped sleeping with her.
I can't say exactly how the whole thing started but I can remember that our mother in Lord had taken a special interest in me the very moment I joined the church.
She always took the time to find out about my well being, how I was doing at work and made sure I was always very comfortable.
She would send her housemaid to bring food for me and also to keep my house clean. She would buy food stuff and send them to me and whenever she and our pastor traveled, she would buy me clothes and gave me pocket money.
Whenever she preached, she would use me as an example of a good Christian gentleman who did not allow my education, good job and handsomeness to stop me from serving the Lord.
I can vividly remember the day she invited for a program outside Lagos and she insisted I should drive her there not minding the fact that they had drivers.
Our pastor who trusts me so much approved of her request and I went with her. At the hotel we were to lodge, she made sure we were booked into rooms on the same floor.
In the night, she called me through the intercom and said I should come over for devotion and without any ulterior motive, I went to her room. The first shock was when I met her in a transparent nightgown.
She did not put on underwear. I was about to apologize to her and leave the room when she stopped me and told me to come inside. I was still rooted to the spot when she went behind me and locked the door and held me close and began kissing me.
I struggled to free myself but she held me tight and dragged me to the bed where we fell in together.
To cut a long story short, we had sex all that night and in the morning, I apologized to her, telling her I did not know what got into my head but she told me to keep the apology as she had been in love with for a very long time and was always looking for an opportunity to sleep with me.
She told me how her husband was so weak in bed that he always leaves her sex starved and could go for six months without sleeping with her. She told me she would change my life as long as I remain her secret lover.
Since then, we have maintained the secret affair where we sneak around making love at every given opportunity to have sex. We have made love several times on her matrimonial bed, in different hotels, in my house, inside her car and so many odd places.
I always wonder how she keeps a straight face whenever she is on the pulpit to preach against adultery and fornication.
My problem now is that I am set to marry my fiancee but my pastor's wife has vowed never to let me go. She still wants us to continue sleeping together even when I get married.
I know what we are doing is very wrong and a grave sin before God but how do I set myself free from this sex crazed woman?
The teaser for the day was:
What should Stanley do to free himself from his pastor's wife?
How Nigeria voted:
He should confess to God and seek forgiveness - 29%
He should threaten to tell her husband the secret - 12%
He should open up and tell his pastor what has been going on - 29%
He should call her bluff and call off the relationship - 31%
How would you vote on this very knotty issue?

Seven Secrets of Successful Recyclers
For National Recycling Week this year Planet Ark is lifting the lid on Australia's successful recyclers. We find out what makes them so successful.
To be a successful recycler...
Know The Facts
Be among the 33% of Australians who know that empty aerosol cans are recyclable and that Pringles tubes, biscuit packets and broken glasses can't go in home recycling bins.
Do It In The Bathroom
Be among the 20% of people who have recycling bins in their bathroom to collect all the aerosol cans and shampoo bottles they use there.
Don't Bag It
Be among the 77% of Australians who never put their recycling in plastic bags, as they know that recycling in plastic bags can't be processed and that it ends up in landfill.
Do It In Public
Be among the 74% of Australians who get frustrated when they can't find a recycling bin when out so they look for one of the thousands of Australian Packaging Covenant and council provided recycling bins located at parks, beaches and shopping centres.
Take It To Work
Be among the 78% of people who feel good that their employer provides recycling services and they take their good recycling habits from home to work.
Think Outside The Bin

Buy It Back
Finish the job of recycling by buying products made from recycled material whether for everyday use, like office paper and toilet paper, or for special projects like carpet underlay and recycled wood.

Office of the Registrar
Withdrawals for All Students
Prior to the first day of classes, students should conduct all drops online via their Student Center in the myUTTyler system. This functionality is disabled once classes begin for each term.
Partial and Complete Withdrawals
From the first day of classes through the Last Day to Withdraw, students may process a partial withdrawal (dropping from one or more but not all of their classes) or complete withdrawal (all classes in a term) via the online Course Drop or Withdrawal Request Form, available via the link at the bottom of this section, and processed fully online. Drops/withdrawals after Census Date and before the Last Day to Withdraw will result in a grade of W. Courses dropped prior to Census Date won't appear on the student's record or the transcript. Emailed, mailed, or faxed requests will not be processed.
All drops/withdrawals are final once processed. Students should take care to complete their web-form accurately prior to submission for processing; use of data available in the Student Center page and/or on a copy of the student's transcript is strongly recommended.
- All drop/withdrawal requests will be processed as of the date the request is submitted via the web-form.
- If more than one form is submitted, each submission will be processed as of the date submitted.
- Students may not officially withdraw from a course after the "Last Day to Withdraw," as listed on the Academic Calendar. Late submissions will not be processed. Students who miss the withdrawal deadline or cease to complete work toward their courses after this point will automatically receive an F, or whatever grade they would earn based on their already completed work in the course.
Dropping or withdrawing from classes may affect financial aid eligibility, veteran's benefits, athletic eligibility, housing, or international student status. Students must consult with those departments prior to dropping or withdrawing.
All partial withdrawals by undergraduate students seeking their first baccalaureate degree are subject to the provisions of the 6-Drop Rule, except as noted here; students who have exceeded the number of allowed non-exempt drops under the 6-Drop Rule will be ineligible to complete partial withdrawals. Complete withdrawals for undergraduate students seeking their first baccalaureate degree, and all withdrawals by other student populations, are exempt from the 6-Drop Rule.
Students who feel their ability to withdraw was negatively impacted by circumstances beyond their control, or those who believe they may qualify for an exception under the 6-drop Rule, may submit an appeal to the Student Appeals Committee.
Withdrawals for Pharmacy Students
Pharmacy students must follow the procedures outlined by the College of Pharmacy Office of Academic Affairs.
Withdrawals for Accelerated Business Administration M.B.A. (7 Week Program) Students
Please note carefully when your withdrawal dates occur - the Accelerated Business Administration M.B.A. (7 Week Program) follows a different academic calendar than the traditional MBA program. Withdrawal and refund information can be located by viewing the Tuition tab on the page for each student's program on the https://online.uttyler.edu/ website.
Withdrawals for International Students, Veterans, Student Athletes, Scholarship Recipients, and Students with Financial Aid Awards
International students, veterans receiving VA benefits, student athletes, scholarship recipients, and any students who have been awarded financial aid wishing to submit any withdrawal form must obtain the appropriate approval during the online processing of the form. Housing and Student Business Services will be notified after the withdrawal has been processed.
Students in these groups must consult with the appropriate advisor before any schedule changes are made, as changes may negatively impact their status, benefits or eligibility.
Medical Withdrawal/Course Load Reduction
Please refer to the Medical Withdrawal / Course Load Reduction page hosted by Student Affairs for details on UT Tyler's policy regarding withdrawals for medical and/or mental health reasons.
- Note that this process is separate from both the standard drop procedures and submitting an appeal to the Student Appeals Committee.

Name: Kagome Higurashi (日暮 かごめ),
Appearance: InuYasha, manga in 56 volumes, also in the anime with the same name
Creator: Rumiko Takahashi
Weapon/ability: Archery/nursing
Race: Human
Age: 15 years
Kagome is an ordinary girl living in today's Tokyo with her mother, grand-father and younger brother - next to a holy shrine. One day she enters the sealed off well on the premises in search of the family cat. Instead of the cat she finds a demon who drags her into the well and she ends up in Feudal Age Japan - a time full of war, and demons.
In this world she meets the dog-demon InuYasha (who's name literally means 'dog spirit' and who is actually just a half-demon) who has spent the last 50 years nailed to a tree with a holy arrow. He thinks at first that she is the woman that shot him, and a woman he was in love with (but who was tricked into doing this by a demon). He gets released from the tree, but his relationship with Kagome gets a really rocky start. Still they have to work together to find the Jewel of four Souls, a jewel that was lodged in Kagome's body and got split into a lot of shards. The jewel is very powerful and any demon who posses the tiniest shard can at once get extremely powerful. But Kagome has the ability to spot the shards from a long distance and is therefor essential for finding them.
The travels take them all over the landscape and after a while they meet others to help them and they form a little party. Kagome's relationship with InuYasha gets better as the story progresses, and his initial hatred for her turns to protectiveness and caring, feelings that are quite new to him which he attributes to her good influence over him.
But at the same time as Kagome is trying to save Japan of old she is a modern day school-student, working hard to get into high school and she often returns to her own world to study. The family is very understanding of her going between the two worlds and try to make excuses to school and friends for her being so much absent, often attributing to strange illnesses (which she of course does not suffer from).
The manga was written over the course of eight years, in the end numbering to 558 chapters - the last published on June 18, 2008. The manga won the Shoakukan Manga Award for best Shōnen-manga of the year in 2002 (shōnen is manga mostly aimed at teenage boys).

Welcome, and prepare yourselves, dear fanboys and fangirls, because it's time for another action-packed chapter of Triangle! Join us as we watch this exciting episode filled with an epic showdown between our faithful cops and the dirty yakuza, the sad and tragic story of our brothers' horrible childhoods, the beginnings of a twisted love triangle between brothers, and the most insane police interrogation ever.
Now that's a sad story . . . please pass the tissues
Cici: So we're gradually getting the back story for the three brothers. Dong Soo tried so hard to protect and take care of his younger brothers, even resorting to petty crime. It's a shame he has been consumed with guilt for the past fourteen years. I wonder how he'll feel when he finds out how his brothers have been living.
Only: No wonder Dong Soo is so angry all the time. If this was my childhood, I'd probably go around punching people, too.
Firnlambe: Poor Dong Soo, this would be horrible for anyone to go through but the fact that he went through it as a 12 year old . . . *sigh* its no wonder his entire personality is so skewed. On one hand I'm looking forward to the reveal of the brother's relationships, but at the same time I'm not because I'm sure the shock for Dong Soo will be enormous. Not only has he met one of his brothers, his lady friend has been giving the other brother therapy sessions and there was no way for him to even know.
Help me brotha, help, help me brotha
Firnlambe: Subconsciously he reaches out to his brother! He may not know that's what he's doing, but the rest of us know he trusts Dong Soo. I'm hoping this brings their relationship closer together, even though one's a cop and one's a gangster.
Cici: Note to self: upgrade to the long-life cell phone battery before getting stabbed and left for dead. See, I do learn important life lessons from watching K-dramas.
Only: Given the choice between Young Dal's bumbling friends and mad dog Dong Soo, I'd go with Dong Soo, too.
Yin and yang . . . I mean Yoon and Yang
Only: You know there's trouble ahead when father and son face off. Chairman Yoon wants to take a gamble on building a resort casino he can't pay for, and Yang Ha thinks it's too much of a risk. The argument turns bitter as Yang Ha tells Chairman Yoon that he feels smothered by his expectations, and stalks away. Ah, family.
Cici: Their approaches to risk-taking are totally opposite. Dad is like "Go big or go home," while Yang Ha is only willing to gamble on something he knows he can win. Wait, is that even gambling? And neither one is sure how the biggest gamble--Yang Ha's adoption--is going to play out.
Firnlambe: Now, Yang Ha . . . don't go and try to win back brownie points with me young man, your sad family history does nothing to redeem your crappy attitude from when you were in the suite with Jung Hee.
Big brother to the rescue
Only: Dong Soo and his team fight their way through a gang of yakuza. I love how after this epic fight, instead of going berserk, Dong Soo just tasers Watanabe, and gets on with the business of arresting everyone. Bad-ass.
Cici: I may have squeed when he did that. And done a fist pump while yelling "Yes!" at my screen. This was the first time I fantasized about all three brothers working together on the side of justice. Like the Avengers, Korean family style.
Firnlambe: *shifty eyes* I maaaaay or may not have done the exact same thing, fist pump and all. I'm really liking this new side of Lee Bum Soo. Well it's new to me at least, I don't know if he's done things like this before or not. The only downside to all this is that once these brothers figure out who they really are to each other things can go either exceptionally well, or things will become a cataclysmic failure. And knowing Kdrama writers, it probably will become a cataclysmic failure.
Don't shoot your brother!
Cici: Whoa, Dong Soo really has a short fuse! Young Dal's gambling skills come in handy as he calls his bluff and refuses to talk. Even Shin Hye can't tell for sure if he's being truthful or not. Young Dal wins this round.
Only: This round definitely goes to Young Dal. He outwitted Shin Hye by telling her the truth, and held out against Dong Soo's threats. I think this is the smartest we've seen him yet.
Firnlambe: Agreed, he fooled both the sharp witted Dong Soo AND the trained profiler Shin Hye. Now all he has to do is keep this up, but seeing that as soon as he was released his "buddies" can't keep their lips shut, I doubt this win will last very long . . . seriously, those boys will drive me insane. They're not more than 100 yards away from the station, with cops passing within obvious ear shot, wouldn't it be common sense to not shout to the world that your best friend just got away with lying to the police's faces?
Here, little lady, let me help you with that, ::heheheh::
Firnlambe: ::arrrrg:: I stand by my statement last post . . . SNEAKY JERK! You're just dead set on making things difficult for Jung Hee aren't you *sigh* . . . ok, now wait Firnlambe . . . this may be a good thing for Jung Hee, a foothold into the dealers room is a great opportunity for her. But . . . I seriously doubt Yang Ha will continue to allow things to run smoothly for her, particularly once he realizes she's living with Young Dal.
Cici: This is the brother I'm having the hardest time liking. The smirky smile is what really gets me. I still want to slap him. Isn't it ironic that even though he stands to inherit this prestigious position in his daddy's company, he's actually far less honest than his street thug brother?
Only: Is it a rule that if you're the son of a rich guy you have to wear a permanent smirk?
So, what did you think? We've gotten more information regarding the three brothers' past, as well as hints at the tie-ins with Chairman Yoon and Go Bak Tae. Dong Soo has finally opened up to Shin Hye, and it looks like Jung Hee may be able to have a positive influence on both Young Dal and Yang Ha. We may still need a diagram to keep everyone straight, but the relationships are becoming more well-defined. Stay tuned for more action, tears, and romance! Also . . . be sure to let us know how you feel about the way things are developing for our brothers in the comment section below.

Being of value to your client or your boss is invaluably important to job security. But how does one go about creating value? You become more knowledgeable and indispensable. Learn as much as you can about what your boss/client does.
Ask questions. Most people are flattered to know that you care enough to ask how they do what they do and why they do it.
By learning more and asking more, you will be able to answer questions about the client/boss to his or her potential clients. If you can help him or her along this is way, you will inevitably become indispensable.
Make suggestions. If you see ways to improve a particular process or task - whether it creates greater efficiency or saves money - you'll look like the hero.
Offer to save the client/boss money. Everyone - I don't care how rich or poor they are - likes to save money. Don't recommend something you know to be a waste. Instead, offer a better, cheaper, more efficient option.
Practice good will. It goes a long way. A good example: This week a client asked about finding a particular list for him. No problem, I'd researched something similar for another client. I gave him the contact information so he could check it out and perhaps buy the list (from another vendor). He asked,
"Well, how are you going to make money on this?"
My response?
"I won't and I don't need to - all I did was refer you to someone who could help you out."
He would have gladly paid me $100 for the referral - even offered to. But, my offer of good will in not accepting that $100 will net me a lot more in future business than just $100 one-time. I don't want him to think that every time I do a favor he owes me money. I want to build up that favor bank so he owes me favors and has no other option but to pay those favors back in the way of referrals and/or future business. And, because he now knows I'm not going to rip him off, he'll keep coming back forever!
Let the client/boss know what else you can do. Listen to him rattle on about his thoughts, ideas, and business philosophies. When you hear some little tidbit that you can help with - mention it! You'll get more work and he'll have more faith in your abilities.
Be willing to accept suggestions. Of course, this one's a no-brainer.
Don't whine! When a client/boss asks for something, don't whine about it - just do it. If they think they have a whiner on their hands they won't want anything to do with you.
If you work as an admin or assistant of any kind, you need to be able to enjoy serving other people. That's the basis of your job - realize that use a corresponding attitude
Improve your skills. If you're so-so at using Excel, being a whiz will carry you far. Most software programs have tutorials build right in. Use it! In your own time, run through the tutorials and practice, practice, practice. Join a chat group if you need to learn more of the software's functions. Then let the client/boss know what you can do. It's always impressive when someone says,
"I know how to do this now, and may I help you?"
A good share of being a good admin is putting yourself in the other person's shoes. Ask yourself on a regular basis,
"How would I want this done and what response would I expect from someone working for me?"
Your answer to that question is exactly how you should handle the situation/request.

Health officials on Jersey Island are advising the public concerning some norovirus type activity and appropriate measures to help prevent the infection spreading.
Symptoms of norovirus type infection include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, malaise and vomiting, and typically the illness will resolve spontaneously within 48 to 72 hours. Dr Ivan Muscat, Jersey Hospital's Consultant Microbiologist, said it was rarely serious but could spread rapidly, particularly within institutions.
Dr Muscat outlined the best approach for those who are unwell and believe norovirus type infection to be the cause of this.
"Resting at home, ensuring adequate hydration and appropriate use of paracetamol are usually sufficient," he said. "However the effects may sometimes be more severe, particularly in the very young, the very old and those with underlying medical conditions.
"Individuals who are concerned about their symptoms, whether because of dehydration (thirst, light-headedness, headache, tiredness, dry mouth, dark urine, small amounts of urine) or a belief that their symptoms may reflect another condition, or if they have been unwell for more than 48- 72 hours should, in the first instance, contact their GP for advice."
Dr Muscat stressed that because the infection was contagious but rarely serious, and would usually resolve itself, Islanders should initially seek advice from their GP if at all possible, rather than come directly to Hospital.
"Individuals with symptoms of norovirus type infection should avoid visiting the Hospital and other institutions, particularly food outlets, until their symptoms cease," he said. "They should not prepare food for others, and workers in catering and health establishments should not return to work for 48 hours from the time that they last experienced symptoms."
Additional recommended measures are:
- The implementation of increased hand hygiene, washing thoroughly with soap and water
- Increased hygiene in food preparation/handling sites and toilet areas, using if at all possible chlorine-based agents
- Being mindful that alcohol gels are not reliably effective against norovirus or similar viruses
- Early spot-cleaning, with chlorine-based agents, in the event of any spills
- Caterers and those supervising health care facilities should take extra care to ensure that their staff are not unwell
- Not coming to the General Hospital as a visitor

I offer private, individual tours and excursions. Please bear this in mind when comparing services and prices. Other guides and tour companies may quote for you joining one of their group tours.
My standard 2 day and 3 day tours give you the opportunity to see the most popular sights in and around the city at a competitive price - whilst still having the advantages of being private and individual.
Customized tours - together we will create a tour especially for you. You can have any dates or quantity of days for your trip.
I will suggest some options, but you will make the choices. Together we will create both a realistic and exciting plan.
But even then we will keep a certain level of flexibility. No one can control the weather, but it will be in our power to re-arrange our plans accordingly.
Being on your own with a guide saves you from the hidden, yet still realistic risks of group tours:
Joined groups - even small ones - reduce not only the cost, but also comfort. It takes only one wrong person in a group to spoil it all.
|per person for 1 day
|Standard tours
- 8 hours
- fixed program
|Customized tours
- long hours (up to 12 hours per day)

What We Do
The Capital for Good Advocacy Initiative is focused on identifying, vetting, and funding grants and contracts for innovative, high-impact advocacy projects that promote more and better use of resources, effective policies, and greater visibility of issues critical to the global health community.
Capital for Good recognizes that some organizations, both public and private, are overlooked as potential partners in the advancement of global health and development issues. In many cases, these organizations are already engaged with the global health and development community and, with additional support, have the potential to extend their influence— convening power, education efforts, and fundraising tactics to benefit critical issues in the global health community.
The CfG Advocacy Initiative seeks to (1) identify promising partners, (2) assist in developing high-impact projects that will impact advocacy efforts for global health, and (3) ensure that our partners implement projects to their fullest capabilities.
CfG grants support a range of activities, including: helping to recruit global health advocates, developing advocacy strategies, informing the global health community of complex policy issues, and building relationships among key stakeholders.

I said in my Saying Yes To Everything post, that I would make a post talking about my anxiety in detail. This is that post! Anxiety is like a large white elephant in the room. Let me elaborate more.
Anxiety is common among most people when stress is present. Pacing back and forth, butterflies in the stomach, and worry are all common in anxiety and most people have experienced these feelings at some point in their life.
Anxiety is natural because it's your body sending you signals that something's not right and it's often related to the flight or fight response, which is also our body's way of saying that danger, is present. It's a safety mechanism. But when is anxiety unnatural?
Anxiety is unnatural when it becomes too much to handle or lingers for too long. At this point, it's considered a disorder, which I admittedly have. It can be extremely unpleasant for the individual experiencing it, as there are many unpleasant side effects of the disorder.
What Does Anxiety Feel Like?
Anxiety can feel a lot like the emotion fear, but it differs in that, fear is a response to a real and present threat, unlike anxiety, which is expectation of a threat. A common term used for this very description is imminent doom.
The best way I could explain this to someone whose never suffered from an anxiety disorder, is image that your in a car accident and you feel like you see your life flash before your eyes. You feel like you're about to die. That's what an anxiety disorder feels like except that feeling doesn't go away and it can last for hours, days and yes years.
One of the worst "side effects" of an anxiety disorder is a panic attack. Panic attacks are especially tough, because you start having heart palpitations (your heart beats really fast as if you've just ran a mile), your are LITERALLY having a hard time breathing, and you feel dizzy. However, not everyone with an anxiety disorder experiences these.
Panic attacks happen suddenly and they can be triggered by anything, even something small and insignificant. There are no cures for this, but there are things you can do to calm yourself down.
Exercises For Panic Attacks:
- Take deep, long breaths repeatedly until your breathing slows.
- Close your eyes and focusing only on your breathing
- Meditation before a stressful event has been shown to reduce anxiety and calm the mind
- Remove yourself from the situation (until you can come to a state of normalcy again)
Psychology can be an invaluable resource to people suffering from this disorder. Find a psychologist who specializes in Anxiety Disorders, if you know that's what you have.
What is the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist? There is a common misconception that they're the same thing. But, a psychologist is basically like a licensed counselor who teaches you to change your way of thinking and provides services such as CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy). A Psychiatrist specializes in fitting you with the right type of medication that aids in your therapy.
Psychologist – can't write prescriptions
Psychiatrist – can write prescriptions
A lot of people are against medications for mental disorders. I've found that medication has helped me more with anything, especially with panic attacks.
Everyone has the personal choice to decide whether they want to go the medicinal route or try alternative methods. It's really up to the individual experiencing these problems to decide which is best for them.
What are your thoughts on this it?
One other thing I want to stress before I end my post is that it's totally okay to seek out professional help if you need it. I know that a lot of people think that mental health professionals are only for "crazy" people, but that's so not true. You won't believe how many different types of people, from all walks of life came to see my doctor.
It really is just like going to see a normal doctor only this one is super discreet and instead of treating your body, they're treating your mind.
What did you think of this topic? Let me know in the comments below and if you have any questions regarding doctors, medications, or just any questions about anxiety in general, also leave it in the comments below.
Thanks for reading! Hope this was helpful! ☺

Just few weeks ago, we showed you a bunch of leaked pictures of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini, courtesy of SAMMobile. Now thanks to one of their sources, they are reporting that Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini will go up for sale in markets worldwide in mid-July.
Obviously nothing is set on stone right now but last year, Samsung introduced the Galaxy S4 Mini in mid-July as well. However, about the specs of the Galaxy S5 Mini, we know that it will feature a 4.5-inch 720p display, a 1.4GHz Samsung Exynos 3 Quad (Exynos 3470) , 1.5GB of RAM, 8-megapixel rear camera, a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera, and LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, IR Blaster, NFC, and GPS. Galaxy S5 Mini will feature Android 4.4.2 KitKat with Samsung's latest TouchWiz UX, and despite being the 'Mini' version of the Galaxy S5, it will come with all the software goodies such as Ultra Power Saving Mode, Private Mode, and Kids Mode.
Are you looking forward to Samsung's new addition to the Galaxy family?

Have you wondered what it is we should be celebrating on the Fourth of July?
It's not really our independence from Great Britain. Americans did not revolt against Great Britain only because they wanted an independent country. They revolted because they could not obtain something else they wanted while remaining under British rule.

Shakespeare After Dark is the highbrow fusion of Shakespeare served with a side of improvisational mischief. In the first half, you'll witness a scene from the Bard utterly monkey-wrenched by an utterly punch-drunk cast member leaving the rest of the cast to improvise around them. Then, stick around for the second half where the cast lays the booze aside to serve a straight up Shakespearean tragedy – based on your suggestions. With a genuinely drunken professional actor volunteering every night, no two shows are ever the same. Side-splitting, raucous, and completely interactive, Shakespeare After Dark will blow you away.
Shakespeare After Dark seeks to introduce a new generation of theatre-goers to the works of the Bard by reviving the raucous, interactive and vibrant nature of Elizabethan theatre with a very modern twist that only the spirit of improvisation can bring, whilst reminding them to to always enjoy Shakespeare responsibly.
Doors open at 10:15 Tickets are $10 ($8 with receipt from Havana) available at the door or online here!

This week we will have a fresh batch of Watermelon with Melons from Harmony Valley Farm. This one has an even more bangin watermelon flavor than last time!! This WILL be the LAST watermelon batch of the season. I recommend getting it before it's gone. This is definitely one of those flavors you want to bathe in.
We are also going to have out a more fall-like flavor, Mango Turmeric. This is a complex tea that we just got in from Rishi.
It has many interesting bits to it. Lemongrass, ginger, turmeric, Mango, Pineapple and a hint of lemon Verbena. It is a very fun blend that we are experimenting with and hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think of it. Go get some at the East Side Farmers Market Tuesday from 4pm-7pm and the West Side Community Market Saturday from 7am-1pm.
To make the best Kombucha you must always use super fresh ingredients. We are so blessed to be using this beautiful tea from our friends at Rishi Tea (mke, wi) … Brew days are always the best! Thank You! #rishitea #whosyourbooch #alwaysfresh
You are a brewing CHAMP! You make Kombucha all the time! You've given all of your friends extra SCOBY's from your batches and now they are taking over your jars and even your home. You can't seem to bring yourself to throw away these concentrated blobs of Kombucha goodness. They are ALIVE for crying out loud! You can't just throw them AWAY!! After all of your time talking and singing and laughing with the microscopic morphing muses, you can't just abandon them!! They might eat up the plastic and garbage in the bin, growing and mutating, and take over the WORLD!!!
Now that I've used up my quota of exclamation marks for the day, we may continue. There are many things that you can do with your old SCOBY's that you might not have ever thought about.
So after all that talk about not tossing out the creatures, I'm going to suggest BLENDING THEM UP INTO TINY BITS! Muhuauauahahahaha!
Take some of your older SCOBY's…the ones that have more yeast deposits and are a bit more brown and put 'em in a blender. Add a bit of finished kombucha, kombucha vinegar or water and blend on high until you get …
You've been brewing for a bit now and this latest batch, whoops! When did I start that? Man that SCOBY got big! Let's see how it tastes…..hmmmm probably not gonna drink that….
Never happens, right? I know I don't EVER get caught up in my life of kids, work, family, friends, etc, etc and forget about the fun ferments I have going at my house. *Sheepish smile* No worries friend. I got some ideas for you so ya don't have to try and choke that stuff down or throw it out. So tart and vinegary!!! Yep which brings me to rule number 1. It looks smells and tastes just like vinegar. Guess what? You can use it just about any way you would use vinegar…
One of the things I love to use Kombucha vinegar for is making my own dressings and marinades. Usually I just throw something together without really measuring, going by taste. I chuck in some Kombucha vinegar, some olive oil, a bit of salt or tamari, some fresh chopped garlic and something for sweetness. I have use all kinds of things from orange juice to jelly, fresh pomegranate seeds to frozen blueberries. I …

Maryland Verdict: GOP Guilty In Voter Suppression, Fraud
A Maryland jury on Tuesday convicted Paul E. Schurick, the 2010 campaign manager for Republican ex-Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., of four counts of election law violations stemming from an Election Day decision to make thousands of recorded telephone calls into African-American homes telling likely voters that the Democratic candidate was on his way to winning -- implying there was no need for them to vote. The gambit came after exit polls showed Ehrlich losing.
The election law violations concerned trying to influence votes through fraud, failing to identify the source of the call, and conspiring to commit those crimes. The charges and convictions are rare in the arcane world of election law; usually last-minute dirty tricks are not caught or prosecuted. The Maryland convictions could send a message to Wisconsin, where an AlterNet investigation reported on Monday about similar deceptive messaging from Republican opponents of a statewide recall petition drive to unseat Gov. Scott Walker.
In Wisconsin, the fake messaging was telling petition circulators that they had enough signatures to put the recall question on the ballot and encouraged people to burn or destroy their signed petitions. Perhaps the Maryland verdict -- especially on the conspiracy charge, as that covers incitement of a crime -- will prompt Wisconsin prosecutors to look more carefully for the ringleaders in that state's increasingly dirty recall fight.

Rubio: Our National Security Depends on Sugar Subsidies
You may not know this, but Brazilian sugar is a threat to U.S. national security. At least, that is the view of Senator Marco Rubio (R., Fla.).
You may not know this, but Brazilian sugar is a threat to U.S. national security. At least, that is the view of Senator Marco Rubio (R., Fla.).
Asked in August about his support for sugar subsidies, Rubio said he would eliminate them if "the countries that export sugar into the U.S. get rid of theirs as well, and here's why:
Otherwise, Brazil will wipe out our agriculture and it's not just sugar." If we eliminate our sugar subsidies first, Rubio warned, "other countries will capture the market share, our agricultural capacity will be developed into real estate, you know, housing and so forth, and then we lose the capacity to produce our own food, at which point we're at the mercy of a foreign country for food security." Let's try to untangle this.
If we get rid of sugar subsidies, Americans will turn their sugar farms into condominium lots and start buying sugar from foreigners, who will starve us until we surrender to ISIS. Or something like that. The federal sugar program, which consists of price supports, import quotas, loan guarantees, and other anti-market contrivances, costs $1.9 billion annually, according to an estimate by the GAO. The Coalition for Sugar Reform, which advocates the repeal of sugar subsidies, says the program has cost $15 billion since 2008.
American consumers must bear these costs for the privilege of buying sugar at more than twice the world rate. The benefits, meanwhile, accrue to the fewer than 4,500 domestic sugar producers. In 1934, the U.S. government decided to subsidize sugar on a "temporary" basis. As often happens in Washington, at some point in the intervening decades, "temporary" came to mean "forever." The result is a system in which the less-than-1 percent enrich themselves at the expense of the 99-plus percent, thanks to unremitting bipartisan support. -subsidies

Saturday Morning's Forgotten Heroes: The Zeta Project (2001)
Diedrich Bader (The Drew Carey Show) voiced the title character, forever on the run from his former bosses at the National Security Agency, led by Agent Bennett (Kurtwood Smith, That 70's Show), serving as Lt. Gerard to Zeta's Dr. Kimble, if you will. Bader currently is the voice of the Dark Knight in Cartoon Network's Batman: The Brave & the Bold, and as is the case there, Bader's characterization is light years removed from his live-action work. Sadly, Zeta was decommissioned after 2 seasons. Given how Kids' WB! tended to shuffle their lineup at a moment's notice without advance notice to the newspapers and cable companies, the series wasn't given a fair opportunity to find an audience. Like so many series from that period, it languishes in the WB vaults, waiting for someone to give it a home.
Rating: B-.

I used to liek this show, but I think what hurt it was the storyline with having Zeta find his creator and Ro trying to find her brother was dragged out too long.
The series finale ending on a cliffhanger (with the scientist finally found but thrown overboard during an explosion) didn't help matters. I wondered if the creators were implying that either Zeta's creator was an andoid copy or his female assistant was.
I also enjoyed the sibling like relationship between Ro and Zeta.

Too bad, then, that it's been completely ignored by CN/Boomerang, like so many other concepts that are too far over the heads of the current administration.
Considering that its' parent series, Batman Beyond, now airs on The Hub, maybe that channel can take a chance on it. Wouldn't hurt.

With all the news going on about Nigella Lawson's recent throat-grabbing "tiff" in public by her husband, Charles Saatchi, Google is showing a surge in Australian searches related to the "Domestic Goddess". Sales of her cookbooks showed a marked decline back home in the UK towards the end of 2012, according to an article published last December by The Telegraph. However, we wondered whether all this hype would have any effect on her book orders this side of the pond. As often these kinds of high profile incidents with celebrities result in a resurgence of demand for their merchandise.
In case you're one of those people now considering buying one of Nigella's books, then at least make sure you don't overspend.
We quickly priced up one of her bestseller titles, "How to be a Domestic Goddess" in paperback. It wasn't hard to find with just about every online book retailer stocking a large collection of her cookbooks. The lowest price however was from Booktopia at $27 including delivery country wide. It's worth mentioning though that this only beat BookDepository.co.uk's price by the slightest margin (76c to be exact) which also included shipping to Australia. Might be useful for any of you that are already registered with them. From other retailers the prices appeared to jump to around the $35 - $39 mark and then beyond in most cases.
Booktopia also have "Nigellissima - Instant Italian Inspiration", another bestseller for those who prefer cookbooks in hardcover. You can order this online and have it delivered to your front door for $41.45.

We celebrated the 100th Day on January 26th.
The Elementary students took a 100th Day picture and had all kinds of fun academic activities during the day in their own classroom. At the end of the day, they participated in a rally. They came together as teams. The yellow, red, blue, green, and purple teams were made up of students from grades one through sixth, and it was the yellow team that finished their tasks first and the purple team was in second place. The names and medals of the winning teams were posted on the bulletin board on the upstairs deck.
In order for the students to win they had to put in to practice several of the Habits of Mind: Listening with understanding and empathy, gathering data with all our senses, finding humor, applying past knowledge to new situations, taking responsible risks, and definitely thinking interdependently.
We closed the day with a delicious sundae.
Mmm, good!

Luke Cage First Set Photos: Mike Colter Is Looking Mighty Fine in That Hoodie
And Alfre Woodard!
While you no doubt already know Luke Cage because you binge-watched Jessica Jones last weekend, here's a refresher: Luke Cage the series is one of the live-action shows that Marvel and Netflix are making together, and Luke Cage the man is a superhero with super strength, rock-hard skin, and amazing pectorals (we added that last part). Ahead of its 2016 premiere, the show's cast was on set in New York City Wednesday, so we got our first glimpse of what the show would look like. Mike Colter will continue on as the title character, Rosario Dawson will return as Claire Temple/Night Nurse, Alfre Woodard will play Mariah Dillard, Simone Missick will play Misty Knight, and Frank Whaley will play Detective Scarfe. Here's a first look at the photos:
Even Alfre Woodard can't keep her eyes off Luke.

David Ortiz is back with the Boston Red Sox in an official capacity, the team announced on Wednesday. And for the one-millionth and hopefully final time, his new role should confirm that his playing days are over.
"The Red Sox have come to a long-term agreement with 10-time All-Star and three-time World Series Champion David Ortiz, inking an unprecedented deal that should link him with the organization forever," a team news release read.
[Sign up for Fantasy Football before it's too late! Draft now for free]
The new role will have Ortiz wearing several hats, including acting as a mentor for current players, helping the team in recruiting efforts for a free agents and international players, while also representing the ballclub as an ambassador.
The agreement will also have Ortiz working alongside Fenway Sports Management in what the release describes as a "business development capacity."
In some ways it sounds similar to the roles Alex Rodriguez agreed to take on with the New York Yankees upon his retirement, though it's seems Ortiz will have a stronger link to all facets of the Red Sox operation. That connection might be where the unprecedented tag comes in, because it's not unusual for recently retired veterans to move into advisory, instructional, mentoring or even ambassador type roles.
.@davidortiz makes long-term commitment to #RedSox and Fenway Sports Management: https://t.co/Dagjt7wMNF pic.twitter.com/NExAYjYHja
— Red Sox (@RedSox) September 13, 2017
"For over a decade and a half, we have gotten to know what kind of man David is both on and off the field," Red Sox owner John Henry said in the release "His skill and success on the diamond are rivaled only by his spirit, compassion, and big heart. I cannot think of a better representative for our organization. I'm happy we can now say officially what we have long known, David is family."
It was only a matter of time before Ortiz and the Red Sox came to an agreement that would keep "Big Papi" in the organization long term. There was even some speculation he might move into the broadcast booth for select games, and we wouldn't be surprised to see that happen under his new deal.
One way or another, it's safe to assume Ortiz will provide a voice that commands respect throughout the Red Sox clubhouse. We've already heard him weigh in on the David Price-Dennis Eckersley feud, and we're sure he'll provide a leading and independent voice anytime there's an issue. In other words, we're going to know how Ortiz feels, regardless of whether or not those he's working for or with agree.
Aside from his new Red Sox responsibilities, Ortiz is staying plenty busy away from the field. He continues his fine work with the David Ortiz Children's Fund, and it was revealed on Wednesday that he's co-producing a documentary on Ted Williams that will air on PBS in the summer of 2018. As Ortiz is showing us, retirement doesn't always mean the work is done.

This was another great project with our friends at RCA Records. To amplify the release of "Mind of Mine" we created a photo booth that allowed users to upload or take photos while inserting themselves into a picture with Baby Zayn. Or, if they preferred, they tattoo themselves with some of Zayn's signature ink.
The website featured an infinite gallery so even if you chose not to take your own photo you could see others having fun. It's amazing how creative some of these posts turned out - we were impressed!
Upload your own photos or take a unique shot with your phone. Either way you're in the picture with Baby Zayn or using the tattoo yourself feature to get inked - in a picture that is...
The mobile experience carried over everything from the main site and allows users to search their camera rolls or take unique snaps for a customized result.

4790 W. 16th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46222
(800) 822-4639 (317) 492-6700 Mon-Fri, 9a.m.-5p.m. ET
Helio Castroneves has parlayed his success in the Indianapolis 500 into mainstream stardom in America. The native of Sao Paulo, Brazil was already a two-time Indianapolis winner when he made a victorious appearance on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" in 2008, and he subsequently added a third Indy 500 win in May 2009.
Castroneves rose through the karting ranks in his native country before taking third place in the 1995 British Formula 3 championship. He moved to America the following year to contest Firestone Indy Lights series for two years, scoring three wins and finishing second to Tony Kanaan in 1997.
For 1998, Castroneves moved up to Indy cars, racing for Bettenhausen Racing. His breakout performance came at the Milwaukee Mile, where he finished second in the CART'sanctioned race. Helio moved to Hogan Racing in 1999 and matched his second place finish at Gateway International Raceway.
Castroneves' big break came near the end of 1999. Having just been informed that Hogan Racing was ceasing operation, Helio was tabbed to drive for Penske Racing's CART team after Penske's intended driver, Greg Moore, was killed during the 1999 CART season finale.
Castroneves won three races in 2000; after scoring his first Indy car race win at the Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix, he spontaneously jumped out of his car and climbed a chain link fence, sparking a victory celebration that since has been copied by NASCAR star Tony Stewart.
Helio achieved another three wins in the CART series in 2001, but he made bigger news by winning the Indianapolis 500 on his first attempt. Although Penske Racing continued full-time in the CART series, Castroneves and Gil de Ferran finished 1-2 for the team in its first Indianapolis appearance since 1995. Castroneves qualified 11th but led the final 52 laps in becoming the second consecutive rookie driver to win the Indianapolis 500.
Rain just after the halfway point led to a series of laps run under the caution flag, and the race was halted by heavier rain for about 40 minutes after the field had completed 155 laps. Castroneves had just taken the lead from Tony Stewart, with Robbie Buhl second and de Ferran third.
Buhl tried to pressure Castroneves when the race went green, but he overcooked it and crashed on Lap 165. All of the leaders pitted, with de Ferran and Castroneves maintaining their first and second place positions respectively. The final 30 laps were run under green flag conditions, and Castroneves stretched his advantage all the way to the checkered flag, finishing 1.737 seconds ahead of de Ferran and 5.736 seconds ahead of Michael Andretti.
The rivalry between Indy car series sanctioned by CART and the Indy Racing League was at its peak early in the 21st Century, and entries fielded by CART teams Penske Racing, Target Ganassi Racing and Team Green took the top six places in the 2001 Indianapolis 500. Seventh-placed Eliseo Salazar was the top regular IRL competitor.
Prior to going to Victory Lane, Castroneves stopped his car on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway's main straight near the Yard of Bricks, jumped out, and performed his traditional victory celebration by climbing a chain link fence. He was joined on this occasion for the first time by several of his Penske Racing teammates.
"I'm just so happy to win here," Castroneves said after the race. "I knew Gil had the same equipment, so I knew I had to just go for the win. It's my first win on an oval, so I couldn't have picked a better one. I know how important experience is here, so I listened a lot to Rick Mears, Bobby Unser and Al Unser Sr. I went to them, and they said the last 50 laps are what counts. So when I was in the lead with 50 laps to go, I said, 'This is mine.' My car wasn't the fastest by itself, but it was fantastic in traffic. I just tried to always keep thinking ahead, and we stayed cool and calm all day."
Ten years later, J.R. Hillenbrand's last-lap disappointment at Indy caused Castroneves to reflect on his 2001 victory in the '500.'
"I had a similar scenario in my rookie year at Indianapolis in 2001," Helio said. "Going into Turn 1 on the last lap, I was in the lead but I had two backmarkers in front of me and my Team Penske teammate Gil de Ferran was less than a second behind me. I thought, 'If I don't pass those guys, Gil will pass me.' So I took a chance, but the difference between my situation and what happened to J.R. is that I made a move on the inside. That's also very risky, and I'm glad those two backmarkers were able to see that I was coming through. They could have turned into me. But after I got through Turn 1, I knew I could bring it home no problem. It's funny, I didn't even know if I had just taken the white flag or the checkered flag because I was so focused on those guys that I didn't even look! I remember Tim Cindric saying 'Last lap!' on the radio, but when you're at Indianapolis, you lose your sense of time."
The 2002 Indianapolis 500 produced one of the most controversial finishes in the long history of the race. Paul Tracy was racing Castroneves for the lead in Turn 3 on Lap 199, seconds after a crash between Laurent Redon and Buddy Lazier occurred behind them on the track. The yellow flag flew, seemingly just after Tracy completed a pass for the lead. But Indy Racing League Chief Steward Brian Barnhart ruled that the caution period for the accident began before Tracy made his pass and he therefore declared Castroneves the race winner.
"The only reason he passed me is because the yellow came out and I lifted off," Castroneves stated immediately after the race. "He couldn't pass me otherwise. It's difficult to pass here. From my car, I was inside on Turn 3. I was right at the apex and could see his rear wheel. You can't see that on entry. Definitely in Turn 3 is where the yellow came on and that's why I lifted off. I was saving as much as I could and I knew without the yellow we might not finish. I was crying like a baby. It's just another dream come true.
"I'm sorry, but I can't feel sorry for Tracy," he added. "It's a tough decision but we have a system that works for everyone. It's a decision not for one driver but for all 33."
Castroneves came as close as possible to becoming the first-ever driver to win the Indianapolis 500 three years in a row, but he came up 0.299 second short, finishing second to his teammate de Ferran in yet another Penske Racing 1-2 in 2003. A pair of ninth place finishes marked 2004-05, and in 2006, Castroneves posted his only retirement from the Indy 500 in eleven starts, crashing out on the 110th lap.
Helio earned the first of his four Indianapolis poles in 2007, but rain hampered his race strategy and he finished third in the shortened race. Castroneves qualified and finished fourth in 2008, then scored a masterful third Indy 500 win in 2009, this one coming from pole position.
It was the fitting conclusion to what had been a trying last year for the emotional Brazilian. The Indianapolis victory came just over a month after Castroneves' U.S. Federal trial for tax evasion was resolved in his favor. In fact, two days before the race, Castroneves was informed he had been cleared of the seventh and final conspiracy count in an indictment process that started in October 2008.
Castroneves dropped to sixth place in the first third of the 500 as the Target Ganassi Racing cars of Scott Dixon and Dario Franchitti led 123 of the first 141 laps. Franchitti was the first to fall from contention when he was waved out of a Lap 134 pit stop with the fuel hose still attached to his Dallara-Honda. Then Dixon lost the lead to Castroneves on a restart after one of the day's eight caution periods, putting Helio out front for the final 59 laps.
"During the race, I was just trying to take it easy," Castroneves recalled. "I didn't want to push it. I was waiting for the right time and I just told them, put me in the lead, and I will have no problem. In fact, we didn't change anything in the car. As soon as they put me in the lead, boom, the car was just incredible. We were running 220s, even saving fuel, and I was just waiting for the right time. When we needed the speed, we were right there, and when we didn't need the speed we were very close to the other guys."
Castroneves became the youngest three-time winner of the '500.' "I feel honored to be in this category of drivers," he said. "When I go to the dinners with the old-timers, I feel pretty honored just to be there. I feel blessed to be in that category. But without a team, without good people surrounding you, you cannot make that and, like I said many times, Team Penske has won so many times, so they prepared well for this race."
After starting from the pole, Castroneves finished ninth in 2010. The 2011 race resulted in Castroneves' least competitive performance at Indianapolis, as he qualified 16th, fell a lap down early and finished 17th.
Although he has never won a series championship in CART or IRL/IndyCar Series competition, Castroneves' 25 race wins (including three in the Indianapolis 500) rank him tied for 13th on the all-time list of Indy car race winners. Bolstered by his "Dancing with the Stars" victory, Helio remains one of the most popular drivers in the IndyCar Series and returns for a 13th consecutive season with Penske Racing in 2012.

Dr. Seuss & His Friends Book Club
This time of year I always watch one of my favorite Christmas movies How the Grinch Stole Christmas, which is, of course, based on the Dr. Seuss book of the same name. It never fails to charm me each and every time. My favorite part will always be the Grinch's dog, Max, with the antlers on.
Dr. Seuss always had the wonderful talent of being able to create characters that stay with you throughout your life. My mom started reading to me when I was little and my love affair with books began there. Dr. Seuss's books, including the always beloved The Cat in the Hat, were among those we started with.
And, who didn't give or receive a copy of Oh, The Places You'll Go! as a high school or college graduation gift? It's the perfect message for anyone starting out on a new adventure in life and a book that will be treasured.
We all know reading to our children is an essential part of their development and creates a valuable time to bond as a family and prepare for bedtime. Dr. Seuss books are perfect for that.
Thankfully there's a great, economical source for Dr. Seuss books called the Dr. Seuss & His Friends Book Club. The Club was created to provide parents and grandparents with a perfect selection of books to read to their children and grandchildren, among them the favorites we enjoyed ourselves as children.
They offer a wonderful selection of books to help grow your child's library starting with five classic Dr. Seuss books plus a Dr. Seuss 2014 wall calendar for just $5.95. Their program will help you add high quality educational book, that your child will actually enjoy, to your library at a reasonable price.
I've given Dr. Seuss books as gifts many, many times and think the idea of a book club is delightful. I'm happy to have come across it!

Why it looks this way
- High-performance kite that reaches relatively high heights
- This type is a cellular kite
- The typical design has four parallel struts
- The box is made rigid with diagonal crossed struts
- There are two sails, also known as ribbons
- Each sail is a quarter of the length of the box
- The ribbons wrap around the ends of the box, leaving the ends and middle of the kite open
- Sails help stability during flights
Usually have triangular wings.
Spars on the leading edge of the wings
which can pivot on the spreader bar
One or more longitudinal spars help the kite to keep its shape.
spars can be made stiffer and stronger if necessary
A keel is usually used but is not always necessary.
A high-wind Delta kite will have its towing point more towards the nose of the kite.
